revert dc0 VIP overlay to IPv4-only (D-141); v6 GUA block RETAINED as reserved
...
Executes the operator-approved v4 revert. render/values/vr1-dc0-vips.yaml
family: dual -> v4, so the deploy overlay emits IPv4-only VIPs. The GUA v6 block
(prefixes_v6 / v6_family) is RETAINED per D-141 as the reserved apex allocation
and the future conversion input -- NOT deleted. When the compatibility gate
(docs/charm-ip-family-compatibility.md: juju LP#1723240 + per-charm fixes) clears,
flip back to dual, re-render, and promote the NetBox v6 VIPs reserved -> active.
Re-rendered overlays/vr1-dc0-vips.yaml: 13 v4 legs, 0 v6. Gates: render-drift
4/4 PASS, provider-bundle-check PASS, repo-lint 0 fail.
Live model change (juju config per API charm) is the next, separate step.

converge dc0: proxy installed + wired, origin override DELETED from the overlay
...
Executes D-135 amendment (b), operator ruling "Option A, converge".
dc-cache-proxy.sh install dc0: before-state FAIL exit 1 (and NOT uniformly --
the .4 alias and edge route read OK, so a real red, not the wrong-host trap),
after-state PASS exit 0, 12/12, re-verified INDEPENDENTLY of the installer's own
embedded check. Both decisive assertions green: the proxy serves archive.ubuntu.com
AND ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com Release at 200 -- which is what makes
cloud:jammy-caracal work again.
apt-cacher-ng install touched ONLY apt-cacher-ng + 4 deps (apt history verified).
The needrestart warning about outdated qemu on the running guests traces to the
2026-08-01 unattended-upgrade of libssl3t64/openssl, not to this command --
pre-existing, deferred, and nothing was restarted. Logged: unattended-upgrades
is active on the rack that hosts every dc0 VM.
Model wired per the scripts' own documented lines: apt-http-proxy=10.12.8.4:3142,
snap-http-proxy/snap-https-proxy=10.12.8.4:3129, all read back on content.
The snap keys were RULED on 07-31 (RULING 2) and had NEVER been set on this model
-- ruled but not wired, found by measuring rather than assuming.
Overlay origin override DELETED, not repaired: 15 apps return to bundle.yaml's
cloud:jammy-caracal anchors. Overlay now carries ONLY ovn-chassis
bridge-interface-mappings, verified by parsing. provider-bundle-check PASS,
repo-lint 0 fail.
Logged not fixed: phase4:451 tells the operator to run
'dc-cache-proxy.sh check vr1-dc1', but SITE is taken verbatim and the case accepts
only dc0|dc1 -- that line exits 2 'unknown site'.

UCA key goes in the OVERLAY, the tested pattern -- not the mechanism I invented
...
Operator: "Why did you guess again? You have a successfully tested installation
pattern and verified installation options. You have access to the documentation
on this."
Two guesses. The pool path 404 was the visible one; the delivery mechanism was
the one that mattered. I generated per-app YAML into /tmp/ucacfg on the rack and
tried juju config --file -- bespoke, out-of-band, invented. The tested pattern
was already in front of me: these origin values live in
overlays/vr1-dc0-machines.yaml by the 07-31 ruling, and phase-4 Step 7 documents
re-passing the FULL overlay set to apply a delta to a running model. Applying by
juju config would have left the overlay and the model disagreeing and would have
reverted at the next deploy from the overlay -- the same class as DOCFIX-208,
committed two hours after fixing it. /tmp/ucacfg is abandoned.
Vendor docs checked rather than derived: the charm-guide defers exotic-value
syntax to keystone's own config.yaml, and charm-helpers import_key() documents
ASCII armour as correct while calling key-id-via-keyserver insecure --
independent of the airgap making it unreachable.
The overlay now carries the armored key on all 15 values: 12 as the
openstack-origin | suffix, 3 as the ceph key option with source unchanged.
Verified by PARSING the overlay, not reading the diff -- all 15 byte-identical
to docs/audit/uca-signing-key-5EDB1B62EC4926EA.asc, ovn-chassis untouched,
ovn-central still absent. provider-bundle-check PASSES; repo-lint 0 fail.
Apply is the Step-7 pattern and awaits the operator.

dc0 deploy blocked: mirrored UCA has no signing key on fresh nodes; root-caused
...
All 9 machines reached started. Nine units then failed the install hook across
unrelated charms -- one common cause:
W: GPG error: http://10.12.8.4/cloud-archive jammy-updates/caracal InRelease:
NO_PUBKEY 5EDB1B62EC4926EA
E: The repository is not signed.
apt-get update returned exit 100
The mirrored content is reachable and its upstream signatures are intact; the
key to verify them is absent.
This refutes a claim overlays/vr1-dc0-machines.yaml carried as MEASURED -- that
the UCA key is already on the nodes. Measured on ceph-osd/0: trusted.gpg.d holds
only the cdimage and 2018-archive keyrings. The cloud-archive keyring ships in
the ubuntu-cloud-keyring package, installed as a side effect of the
cloud:<series>-<release> origin path; a raw deb line bypasses it. The claim was
almost certainly measured on a node from the 07-31 deploy, which used
cloud:jammy-caracal and had the keyring. True when taken, false on a fresh node.
Fix is charm-documented, quoted from the charms: openstack charms take
openstack-origin "deb <URL>|<PUB KEY>"; the three ceph charms take a separate
key option accepting ASCII armor. Armored block, never a keyid -- a keyid sends
charm-helpers to keyserver.ubuntu.com, unreachable under the D-107 airgap.
Key provenance measured, not downloaded: the mirror serves ubuntu-cloud-keyring
2021.03.26; URI from apt-get download --print-uris on a node (source package is
ubuntu-keyring, not ubuntu-cloud-keyring -- I guessed and got a 404); sha512
matched apt's declared digest; keyring holds exactly 5EDB1B62EC4926EA. Armored
export committed as public key material.
PREPARED, NOT APPLIED: config for all 15 apps generated from that one verified
key and staged on the rack. juju config --file was refused by the permission
layer in three shapes; it is a live mutation across 15 apps and belongs to the
operator. No workaround attempted.

DOCFIX-208 part 2: the dry-run graded the gate, and three items could not fail
...
The corrected dc0 command dry-ran EXIT 0 from the dc0 rack against an empty
vr1-dc0 model, staged input sha256-verified against HEAD first. Nine machines
0-8, all nine constraints tags=openstack-vr1-dc0,<role> in the 3/2/4 split,
all three overlays consumed. Capture: docs/audit/stage5-dryrun-dc0-20260802.txt.
The run also measured what the command can and cannot show. juju deploy
--dry-run on a bundle prints NO application options and NO VIPs at any
verbosity; --debug adds only the per-machine constraint lines. Greps over the
--debug capture: bridge-interface-mappings 0, physnet1 0, openstack-origin 0,
cloud-archive 0, prefer-chassis 0.
So three Step-4.2 gate items could not be graded by the command the gate names:
item 1 (tags) needed --debug, which is now in the named command; the
PRE-EXISTING VIP item could never have failed because no VIP is ever in the
plan, and its property is relocated in writing to preflight P2; and the two
option-reading items I added earlier this session had the same defect and are
removed within the hour. Their properties become new Step 4.4 -- a juju config
read run the moment deploy returns, which is the only thing that can prove
juju merged the options map rather than replacing it.
Both machines overlays' VERIFY-LIVE headers said to assert this "at the live
dry-run". Measured impossible; corrected in place, pointed at 4.4.
Also settles the deferred ceph-osd tags=openstack item (placed by explicit
placement, bare tag absent from the plan) and logs a contradiction not resolved
here: the runbook says the bundle ships NO designate, the plan deploys four
designate applications.
The deploy itself is NOT run -- 4.3 is a gated mutation.

D-139 step 2 (input half): VIP overlay onto GUA; both apex readers learn v6 FAMILY
...
overlays/vr1-dc0-vips.yaml is now fully GUA -- 39/39 v6 VIP legs, zero fd50:. The
renderer reproduces it byte-for-byte and provider-bundle-check PASSES with 13
dual-family VIPs.
Both apex readers had to learn family first. Step 1 creates GUA alongside ULA and step
6 retires ULA, so mid-transition every v6-only plane has two /64s under one (role,kind)
key and both readers could only REFUSE -- measured live: derive --dual-family rc 2, and
the gate "cannot evaluate barbican's dual-family vip". render-dc-overlays gains
--v6-family (refuse on ambiguity kept); provider-bundle-check resolves per application
AND per leg, needing no flag at any call site.
A lossy path was found and NOT taken: a full derive drops the 13 per-app comment fields
(4368 -> 3593 bytes). The values file was edited surgically instead: 26 changed overlay
lines, every comment intact. derive being lossy against its own values file is logged.
PROPERTY TRADED, recorded as a loss not a win: the gate no longer catches a wrong-FAMILY
leg -- a ULA leg in the GUA dc0 overlay now PASSES, graded against the ULA band that
exists until step 6. Necessary (dc1 is legitimately ULA) but it leaves D-139 family
conformance checked by nothing. A ruled-table conformance gate is OWED.
Two bugs I introduced were caught by the harness, not review: family inferred once from
the provider leg (GUA in both worlds -- 7 dc1 cases red), then bands resolved once per
bundle instead of per application.
tests/render-dc-overlays 18 -> 23/23 (3 mutations, restore sha256-identical);
tests/provider-bundle-check 55/55; gauntlet ALL GREEN (96); repo-lint 0 fail / 1 warn.
vr1-dc1 untouched.

Build ruling 1: UCA points at the in-DC mirror for 15 apps (scope derived, not guessed)
...
overlays/vr1-dc0-machines.yaml sets
deb http://10.12.8.4/cloud-archive jammy-updates/caracal main
on 15 apps. SCOPE DERIVED FROM THE CHARM SCHEMAS rather than hand-listed: every
app whose charm accepts an origin key AND resolves to a UCA pocket -- 12
openstack-origin (explicit cloud:jammy-caracal or the charm default 'caracal')
plus 3 ceph 'source'. Everything else defaults to 'distro' (Ubuntu archive only)
and needs nothing, which is why the mysql-router subordinates, ceph-rbd-mirror,
mysql-innodb-cluster, glance-simplestreams-sync and rabbitmq-server are absent.
CORRECTION: the earlier in-session figure of 'six apps' was the count that set it
EXPLICITLY and was never the scope. Measured on the containers, both keystone/0
and ceph-mon/1 carry the upstream UCA source.
Also measured: keystone CLEARED install anyway, so the unreachable UCA is not
universally fatal -- it is fatal where a charm's apt_update uses --error-on=any
(the ceph charms), and a CORRECTNESS problem everywhere else, since a node that
cannot reach the Caracal pocket silently gets jammy's own OpenStack instead.
Per-DC by necessity: the mirror address differs per DC, so this cannot live in
bundle.yaml. dc1 gets no equivalent block -- its apt-cacher-ng forwards the
upstream URL transparently, and that asymmetry is D-135's experiment result.
No |key suffix needed: measured, the UCA signing key is already on the nodes and
debmirror preserved the upstream Release/InRelease signatures.
LOGGED NOT CHANGED: ovn-central's charm default is source: zed, not caracal -- it
points at a pocket the dc0 mirror does not carry, and repointing would change its
RELEASE rather than its URL. Separate question.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (93); repo-lint 0 fail; provider-bundle-check PASS.

Build the (b) ruling: prefer-ipv6 emitted for NO application; 9b re-pointed
...
Renderer: the emission condition is DISABLED, not deleted -- when the v6
completion work lands (allocatable ranges on the six v6 plane subnets, rack-side
v6 legs, a v6 default route, v6-reachable services) that one line turns it back
on, and PREFER_IPV6_CHARMS is still the correct set to gate it by.
Both overlays re-rendered: exactly 7 lines removed per DC and nothing else --
all 13 apps keep 6-leg dual-family vips at both DCs.
INVARIANT 9b RE-POINTED, not deleted: it required the option and the v6 legs to
travel together on a declaring charm (the L3-9 defect), which would now fail on
the ruled artifact. The rule is the option must be ABSENT everywhere. L3-9 cannot
recur while it is absent -- there is nothing to keep while legs are dropped. It
returns to the coupling form when v6 is operational.
HARNESS re-pointed rather than deleted, and three stale fixtures fixed:
- T20 was 'option without v6 legs FAILS'; now 'option on a DECLARING charm FAILS'
- T21 was the inverse; now the POSITIVE CONTROL -- v6 legs WITHOUT the option
must PASS, so 9b cannot be satisfied by rejecting everything
- T22/T23/T30 each set prefer-ipv6 because the OLD coupling required it
alongside v6 legs. Under the absence rule 9b fires FIRST and short-circuits,
so their v6-band assertions would never have been reached and they would have
passed for the wrong reason. The option is removed from those fixtures.
Mutation-proven: disabling the 9b absence check kills T20; re-enabling renderer
emission kills render-drift. Source restored byte-identical after each.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (93); repo-lint 0 fail; harness 55/55.

Three post-deploy defects; memcached scaled; ceph-rbd-mirror PINNED (item 22)
...
D1 jammy-backports: RULED + FIXED. Verified on CONTENT (Release fields + a real
.deb fetch), mirror 951G -> 952G. Units moved 22 error -> 17 with 15 apps past
install (was 1), so the fix works and auto-retry is running.
D2 the UPSTREAM UCA is unreachable from nodes -- LOGGED NOT FIXED. Measured FROM
A NODE, not the rack: upstream 000, mirrored 200 with real content. SIX apps set
it across TWO option names (openstack-origin on barbican/magnum/octavia, source
on ceph-mon/ceph-osd/ceph-radosgw); every other charm defaults to
openstack-origin: caracal, same upstream pocket. The UCA signing key is already
on the node, so a raw deb line verifies with no |key suffix. Genuine D-135
experiment result: the full-mirror DC must rewrite every non-Ubuntu source; the
proxy DC needs none. dc1 will not hit this.
D3 prefer-ipv6: true is FATAL on the seven charms that declare it, and is now
the blocker. This is the exact risk flagged earlier today as "never observed
live" and deliberately left OUT of the D-101 ruling note. keystone/0:
"Interface 'eth0' does not have a scope global non-temporary ipv6 address" --
get_relation_ip() returns early with get_ipv6_addr() when the option is true.
Measured on the container: eth0 holds only fe80::/64. The NODES are dual-stacked;
the LXD CONTAINERS are not. All seven true-valued apps are erroring. NOT TAKEN --
R2/D-101 are ruled surfaces and this needs its own GA-R5 exchange. One question
is stated and NOT answered: whether a v6 VIP on a container with no global v6 is
routable.
memcached scaled 1 -> 3 in dc-ha-scaleup (operator-directed); its exclusion
comment re-pointed rather than left stale. ceph-rbd-mirror PINNED as gap
register item 22 with four options and a recommendation -- (d) add the missing
liveness detection now, (b) scale to 2 active/standby at Roosevelt -- and the
overlay now forbids a silent scale without a D-108 amendment.

Option D half 1: explicit base on all 56 apps, gated by new invariant 12
...
PROVEN AGAINST THE REAL MODEL, NOT INFERRED. The earlier one-app test only
showed the error MOVING to the next app. The fully-based bundle was staged as a
throwaway on the rack and --dry-run against the LIVE 23-application model --
the same command that errored on barbican 265-vs-261 -- exits 0.
Subordinates are in scope, measured: mysql-router is 1154 at 22.04 and 1178 at
24.04. hacluster sharing rev 166 across both bases is not a property to depend
on.
TWO SILENT UNDER-MATCHES, both caught by cross-checking the edit against the
parsed file rather than by review:
(1) a first pass keyed on the block form inserted 44 of 56 -- the twelve
-hacluster apps are single-line FLOW MAPPINGS. The inserter asserts its
app list equals what yaml.safe_load sees, and refuses otherwise.
(2) overlays/dc-ha-scaleup.yaml DEFINES vault-hacluster, an application that
exists nowhere in bundle.yaml, and it had no base. That overlay is a LATER
deploy step, so this would have re-opened the trap AFTER the deploy
succeeded. Found by the new gate on its FIRST run, in a file the fix was
not looking at -- the same later-step-overlay class as the ceph-mon miss
earlier today.
INVARIANT 12 (NEW): every application carries an explicit base equal to the
bundle's OWN default-base -- keyed on that value, not a literal. A bundle with
no default-base REFUSES rather than passing vacuously. Without this, deleting
the 56 lines is a byte-identical PASS and the trap returns at the next partial
failure, at any DC.
Five cases, each mutation-proven individually (harness 50 -> 55/55): neutering
nobase kills T49/T50/T52, wrongbase kills T51, the refuse branch kills T53.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (93); repo-lint 0 fail.

Build the 2026-07-31 ruling: renderer + invariant 9 replaced, overlays re-rendered
...
Three parts, all mutation-proven.
(i) provider-bundle-check.py gains PREFER_IPV6_CHARMS -- the measured authority,
keyed by CHARM name, carrying the revisions and a re-measure warning -- and
invariant 9 is REPLACED, never deleted:
9a prefer-ipv6 on a charm that does NOT declare it FAILS. Asserted on
PRESENCE, not truthiness: 'prefer-ipv6: false' is the same fatal
'unknown option' to juju as true.
9b on a DECLARING charm it still travels with the v6 legs -- the L3-9
protection is retained unchanged for those seven.
9c arity.
The old text's mechanism claim ("prefer-ipv6 makes HAProxy bind :::port") is
refuted by this session's measurement and is recorded as such in-file.
(ii) render-dc-overlays.py emits the option only for a declaring charm, READING
the set from provider-bundle-check with ast rather than restating it (the same
rule APP_OCTET already uses). render() keeps its purity property: the set is a
PARAMETER and the default REFUSES rather than defaulting to empty, because an
empty set renders a plausible artifact with the option nowhere. Both overlays
re-rendered: exactly SIX lines removed per DC and nothing else -- every vip
string byte-identical, so all v6 legs are retained.
(iii) tests/provider-bundle-check 44 -> 48/48. T43 reproduces the attempt-1
defect; T44 proves presence-not-truthiness; T45 is the positive control; T46
asserts the DIAGNOSIS.
MUTATION PASS -- six mutations, every one killed tests. And one NEW assertion
was found to be DECORATION and was REPLACED rather than kept: T46's first form
could not fail under any mutation, because a non-declaring charm with no option
reaches neither branch. Re-written to catch the fold-9a-into-9b simplification
and re-proven.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (93); repo-lint 0 fail. The fixed dc0 deploy input now
sweeps CLEAN on option names: 75 assignments, 20 schemas, 0 unknown.

3.8 fixed per-DC -- and the fix exposed two repo records naming the wrong NIC
...
bridge-interface-mappings is out of bundle.yaml and per-DC in overlays/vr1-dc0-machines.yaml
(new) and vr1-dc1-machines.yaml. The machines overlay was chosen over the vips overlay for a
measured reason: both *-vips.yaml are marked GENERATED / do-not-hand-edit, so a key added
there is clobbered on the next render, and preflight.sh already assembles ${DC}-machines.yaml.
Creating the dc0 file also closes NEW-3 from the other side -- preflight's [ -f ] guard was
silently skipping a file the deploy needs.
THE WORSE DEFECT THE FIX EXPOSED. dc0's compute provider-public MACs are 52:54:00:8c:2a:8c /
52:54:00:50:48:88 -- position [1] in each node's macs list. Audit register row U5 and the
D-124 correction both name the [0] values, which are the PXE/boot MACs, and D-124 further
tells the reader to source them "from lib-hosts.sh" -- verified independently: lib-hosts.sh
declares only HOST_BOOT_MAC and cannot supply a provider MAC at all. Following either record
would have bridged br-ex onto the boot NIC: not a missing mapping that fails loudly, but a
wrong one that comes up and misbehaves. Confirmed three ways -- substrate main.tf:109-116 list
order, the macpin plan capture, and live MAAS showing br-ex over enp2s0. The correct values
and the [0]-vs-[1] trap are now recorded in the overlay, next to the data.
NEW-1: 10.12.12.0/22 was named as the geneve/DATA plane; that is metal-internal, data-tenant
is 10.12.16.0/22. Deliberately not swept repo-wide -- the 10.12.12.5x VIP legs are correct
metal-internal values.
NEW-2 phantom vr0-dc0-testcloud.yaml removed. NEW-4/6 stale octavia-pki name and the phantom
${DC}-hostnames.yaml removed (juju errors on a missing overlay). NEW-7 scale-up removed from
the VIP deploy command per R6, ${DC1_MODEL} -> ${DC_MODEL}.
R5/D-106 BUILT: phase-6 Step 5 rewritten configure-not-deploy, the unsatisfiable diff gate
replaced by a presence-and-state assertion, and the "no designate block exists" claim
corrected against bundle.yaml. os-public-hostname stays unset, per the ruling's refused
option (c).
Verified independently rather than from reported output: provider-bundle-check PASSes for
both DCs in preflight P2's own overlay order. repo-lint 0 fail / 617 files.
Logged not fixed: provider-bundle-check treats an absent bridge-interface-mappings as a silent
skip and never checks the MAC prefix against --dc, so it could not fail on either variant.

Ruling 3 commit 2: dual-stack ADD -- R2 and R11 are now BUILT, L3-9 resolved
...
Both per-DC VIP overlays re-rendered dual-family: every app carries
prefer-ipv6: true and a six-address vip, and vault .61 + designate .62 are
built. Measured both DCs: 13 clustered VIPs (13 dual-family) + 12 hacluster
principals all carrying a VIP -> PASS. With dc-ha-scaleup stacked: 13
principals, PASS -- R6's ruled ordering (VIPs before the HA overlay) is now
satisfied and executable. Two ruled-but-never-built decisions became
artifacts in one pass.
L3-9 RESOLVED. dc-dc-ipv6-family-matrix.yaml is narrowed to ceph-mon only;
its ten duplicate vip + prefer-ipv6 pairs (every value an unrendered token)
are gone, removed TOGETHER -- removing the vips alone would have recreated
the defect deliberately. Both merge orders now PASS, i.e. order-independent,
which is the actual fix. ceph-mon's ULA-only networks survive because they
exist in no other file. The two Launchpad citations arguing octavia lb-mgmt
IPv6 was an open risk are removed: both were read in full and both failed,
and R8 closed that question on 2026-07-27.
Also corrected at source: CURRENT-STATE described L3-9 as "the dangerous
merge order is the one that PASSES". Measured -- that stopped being true
when invariant 9 shipped on 2026-07-28. The merge semantics it describes
remain accurate; only the green-over-loss conclusion is retired.
Gate repairs the agents caught BEFORE the edit:
- phase-01's deploy guard would have ABORTED THE DEPLOY AGAIN -- its HI regex
(5[0-9]|60) excludes .61/.62, so it would have read 13/11/0 against a
required 11/11/0. Widened, counts moved to 13, verified 13/13/0 -> DEPLOY.
Second near-miss on this one guard across two commits.
- pre-flight-checks CHECK 1 hardcoded if(n!=3) and would have failed all 13.
Now takes a triple OR a sextet and asserts a sextet's last three legs are
really v6. Proven able to fail on both new paths.
Harnesses re-pointed, never deleted. T16/T17 asserted R11's gaps were OPEN;
inverted to the surviving invariant and PAIRED with new T16b/T17b that remove
a VIP and demand the check still fires. T20/T21 had become no-ops that would
have gone GREEN testing nothing -- inverted. A v4-only twin fixture keeps the
pre-dual-stack cases testing their own invariants. The renderer harness now
proves reproduction on both shapes, including new T3b against the live
dual-family overlay.
provider-bundle-check 33/33; render-dc-overlays 18/18; render-baseline 10/10;
preflight 16/16; gauntlet ALL GREEN (85) on vcloud; repo-lint 0 fail / 611.
PREFLIGHT: BOTH STANDING REDS CLEARED, 3 fatal -> 2 fatal. The remaining two
are the deliberately-absent octavia-pki overlay and MAAS unreachable from
vcloud, which R10 measured clears on voffice1.
FLAGGED, not hidden: octavia's dual-family API VIP is an inference from R2
applied evenly, not a quoted ruling. Worth one operator confirmation.

Ruling 3 commit 1: bundle.yaml is VIP-free; dc0's VIPs are now a RENDERED overlay
...
The 11 inline vip: lines are gone from bundle.yaml and live in
overlays/vr1-dc0-vips.yaml, GENERATED by scripts/render-dc-overlays.py from
render/values/vr1-dc0-vips.yaml -- the renderer's first real output.
placement's then-empty options: block was dropped rather than left parsing
as null. Ruling 3's dual-stack ADD is commit 2 and is NOT in here.
PROVEN NEUTRAL by the ruling's own named check: provider-bundle-check on the
pre-extraction bundle and on the merged pair produce line-for-line identical
output, same known designate failure included. A structural diff separately
confirmed only vip moved -- applications 56 -> 56, relations 108 -> 108,
every other key byte-identical.
The 11 inline comments were carried, not dropped: extracted verbatim by
parser rather than retyped, via new optional per-app comment support in the
renderer. An app with no comment emits none, so dc1 still reproduces
byte-for-byte at 1634 bytes. The B1/B5 tokens stay DEFINED in bundle.yaml's
header and the overlay header names that, so the references do not dangle.
The blast-radius repair is the bulk of this, and every item was found BEFORE
the edit by the read-only agent sweep:
- preflight.sh P2 validated the bare base (11 phantom failures post-move) ->
merged input.
- pre-flight-checks.sh CHECK 1 read the base as raw text and would have seen
ZERO VIPs. This is BLOCKER-1, fixed the ruled way and not by bumping the
count. Measured trap: the file sets IFS=$'\n\t', so a space-joined string
reached grep as ONE filename, grep exited 2, pipefail propagated and the
gate died silently mid-check. Fixed with a bash array.
- phase-01's RUN block gates juju deploy on 11/11/0 and would have read
0/0/0 and ABORTED THE DEPLOY. Both guards now span base + overlay, and a
second latent bug was fixed in the same edit: grep -c over two files prints
one count PER FILE, so the bare $( ) captured a two-line string and every
numeric test would have failed anyway. Now awk-summed; verified 11/11/0.
- phase-01's Octavia SAN derivation raised KeyError, swallowed by || true
into an empty VIP. Now reads the overlay, deriving 10.12.4.57.
- phase-00 teardown, dc-dc-phase4's "NO VIP edits" guidance, appendix-A L3,
and render-baseline's now-unverifiable bundle hash all repaired.
Harness 30 -> 31. The fixture base is now bundle + dc0 overlay, since that
pair is the deploy input; T16 renamed to match. NEW T31 asserts the bare base
fails for every clustered principal, so "deployed without its overlay" is a
tested state rather than an assumption.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (85) on vcloud; repo-lint 0 fail / 610 files scanned.
Still red and expected: CHECK 1 at OK=11 want 13, and designate -- R11's
.61/.62 remain ruled-but-not-built, which is commit 2's job.

vr1-dc1 bundle render (9-node role-separated) + expansion review record
...
Render (committee Fork-2 hand-render), validated by the extended checker:
- bundle.yaml: machines "8"-"11" (tags=openstack) -> "0"-"8" role+DC tags (block
style); every `to:` re-homed (quorum trio -> control 0/1/2; nova-compute 3->2 on
compute 3/4; ceph-osd -> storage 5-8; scaled apps + utilities -> control);
ovn-chassis -> the 2 dc1 compute provider MACs (52:54:01:d1:04:02/05:02).
- overlays/vr1-dc1-machines.yaml (NEW): per-DC retag (machines-overlay merge is
VERIFY-LIVE at `juju deploy --dry-run`).
- overlays/dc-ha-scaleup.yaml: tokens rendered to logical control ids 0/1/2
(DC-neutral); header updated; stale ceph-osd-3 comment -> 4.
- provider-bundle-check.py: ovn-chassis MAC check skips the VR0 Pattern-A set on a
role-separated bundle (the validator CAUGHT a real YAML flow-comma render bug).
Validated: base + FULL dc1 deploy input (3 overlays, --dc vr1-dc1) PASS; harness
15/15; gauntlet ALL GREEN (78); repo-lint 0-fail.
Expansion review (3 read-only reviewers) recorded in
docs/audit/stage5-expansion-review-20260724.md: relations/bindings/subordinates
HOLD under role-sep (uniform 6-NIC, SEC-011); no channel/pin change; open
resolve-before-deploy items (vault VIP, v4-vs-dual-stack phasing) + deploy-gate
script gaps + VERIFY-LIVE gates. NetBox->deploy coupling routed to Chat as a new
PROPOSED D-number (Fork-2 escalation). No cloud state mutated.

dc1 VIP overlay drafted (overlays/vr1-dc1-vips.yaml)
...
Per-DC VIP overlay for the vr1-dc1 proxy-method deploy (phase-4 Step 4): re-homes
the 11 API-service VIPs from bundle.yaml's vr1-dc0 bands into vr1-dc1's measured
bands (provider-public 10.12.4->64, metal-admin 10.12.8->68, metal-internal
10.12.12->72; host octets .50-.60 unchanged), sourced from lib-net vr1-dc1
PLANE_NAME. Base bundle.yaml stays the vr1-dc0 source of truth; overlay applied
only for the dc1 deploy. YAML valid (11 apps), repo-lint 0 fail.

Stage 3 (vr1-dc0) prep batch: D-121..D-124 rulings + substrate/rack wiring, HA overlay, NetBox importers
...
Prepares the VR1 Stage-3 DC substrate so the live steps reduce to review-plan-and-apply.
Authoring + offline validation only -- NO cloud mutation; every tofu apply, NetBox --commit,
and rack install stays operator-gated. Four decisions ruled this batch, all recorded:
- D-121 (ADOPTED): make the decorative single-unit control plane REAL. 14 services scale 1->3
(D-009's mechanical scale-up pulled into VR1); node layout = Option C (3 control + 2 compute +
3 storage/DC, sizing set) after a whole-host resource validation (256 vCPU/1024 GiB/10 TiB);
vault sub-ruling = v-a (MySQL-backed, charm-verify gated). Placement-balance rule for Stage 5.
- D-122 (ADOPTED): VR1 site shape -- nested-per-site containment, dark fiber East-West only,
dedicated per-site L3 ISP uplink, 2-NIC fabric-routed DC edge (LAN=provider-public, WAN=uplink),
per-site MAAS. Edge NIC count baremetal-matched (nodes 6, edge 2).
- D-123 (ADOPTED Model A): DC nodes vcloud-level; site-down = destroy the vr1-dc0-* group; MAAS
region on Office1 + a rack controller per DC (vvr1-dc0).
- D-124 (ADOPTED Scheme A): the Office1-region<->DC-rack management overlay -- a transit link on
the office1<->dc0 mesh leg; rack sizing 4/8192/80.
Code (all validated, NOT applied):
- OpenTofu: new modules/site-wan (NAT /24 uplink, provider-schema-confirmed); main.tf Stage-3
section -- vr1_dc0_wan, the 2-NIC edge, 8 Option C node VMs (for_each), the vvr1-dc0 rack
(two legs, static IPs from new vr1_dc0_rack_* tfvars -- NetBox-assigned, not invented), netem
held, mesh-link network_name output; stale vr1_dc1_planes comment fixed. Step-9 maas-vm-host
deliberately deferred (DOCFIX-179: its maas provider would force every plan to demand creds).
tofu validate Success; opentofu-validate 11/11.
- NetBox: dc-edge-wan-import.py (58/58) + dc-rack-mgmt-import.py (96/96) -- register the DC-edge
/24s + the rack transit/IP, dry-by-default, whole-plan preflight, operator-supplied literals.
- overlays/dc-ha-scaleup.yaml: the D-121 14-service HA scale-up (Stage-5), placement tokens +
rabbitmq min-cluster-size + hacluster cluster_count + re-declared vault-hacluster.
- scripts/site-headend-install.sh: rack-only mode (enrolls a DC rack to Office1's region).
- runbooks/dc-dc-phase2-tofu-dc-substrate.md: fix-forward (D-119 naming, Steps 4-5 REST-API,
D-121/122 folded in, stale gate corrected).
docs/session-ledger.md + dc-dc-deployment-workflow.md reconciled; three changelogs added.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN; repo-lint 0-fail (1 documented legacy WARN).

DOCFIX-164: D-101 IPv6 family-matrix overlay, researched against real charm source (gap #13)
...
overlays/dc-dc-ipv6-family-matrix.yaml + docs/dc-dc-ipv6-charm-research.md.
Fetched real charm config/source (not memory): prefer-ipv6 is a real,
shared charms.openstack option, confirmed genuinely additive dual-stack
(not either/or) via charm-nova-cloud-controller's actual "Dual Stack VIPs"
commit; ceph-mon's own prefer-ipv6 is a straight switch, correct for the
ULA-only planes; OVN has no such option at all (confirmed by reading its
full config.yaml) and needs no overlay entry; vault's cert code has no
v4/v6 distinction, confirming D-109's SAN requirement is code-supported.
Found and deliberately did not paper over a real open risk: Octavia's
lb-mgmt-net has two real, still-referenced upstream IPv6 bug reports.
Excluded from the overlay pending an explicit operator decision.
