R2 RULED: dual-stack as originally decided; the v6 literals move onto the critical path
...
GA-R5: question and exact utterance quoted in the Status block, dated, pushed
before dependent work.
Operator utterance: "Carve v6 and deploy dual-stack as ruled (Recommended)".
Recorded as a D-101 RULING NOTE -- a re-confirmation, amending nothing, in the
same shape as the 2026-07-25 note it follows.
WHY IT WAS A LIVE QUESTION AT ALL: the 07-25 ruling was measured against the
substrate for the first time by this audit and found unimplemented. Exactly ONE
IPv6 subnet exists cloud-wide and it is on the Office1 base fabric; none of the
12 DC plane fabrics carries one; zero v6 links across all 18 nodes; every node
reports default_gateways.ipv6 = NONE. D-101's matrix requires ULA on
data-tenant/storage/replication plus legs on metal-admin/metal-internal, with
nothing to bind against.
THE CONSEQUENTIAL EFFECT, and the reason this commit matters beyond recording a
choice: D-101's own "Remaining open item" -- the org ULA /48 and per-DC GUA carve
-- has been carried since authoring as "pending NetBox assignment ... not a
ratification question", i.e. non-blocking. It is now a STAGE-5 PRECONDITION.
Dual-stack cannot be deployed against literals that do not exist.
Downstream, all now inheriting dual-family: R9 (where dc1's literals live), R11
(vault/designate VIPs, which must be dual-family from the outset or their cert
SANs get re-issued on a live cloud), and the L3-9 overlay collision, which must
be reconciled BEFORE either authority location is populated. Worth restating: of
the two merge orders the audit measured, the DANGEROUS one is the one that
PASSES -- vips-overlay-last silently replaces every v6 leg and reports green.
R8 (octavia's family) is explicitly NOT resolved by this ruling.
NEW SUB-QUESTION OPENED, queued not ruled: R2a, which literals. The ruling
directs that they be assigned; it does not assign them. I have deliberately not
proposed prefixes -- that is the operator's address space, and hard rule 2
forbids inventing a literal. Only the SHAPE is presented.
Revert: git revert this commit; the ruling note and R2a are additive.

R1 RULED: ceph-osd gets a real second disk on the storage nodes (D-121 amendment)
...
GA-R5: question as presented and the operator's exact utterance are both quoted
in the Status block, dated, and pushed BEFORE any dependent work.
Operator utterance: "Add an OSD volume to node-vm (Recommended)".
Recorded as a D-121 AMENDMENT rather than a new D-number. D-121 is the decision
that ratifies modules/node-vm sizing/count, and its own capacity re-validation
already records "Ceph disk re-run for 4 storage/DC = PASS 5.31 TiB" -- the second
disk was BUDGETED and never BUILT. GA-R3: architectural consequence, but it
amends a ruled node layout rather than establishing new ground.
TWO SCOPE CORRECTIONS landed with the ruling, both of which narrow it:
- It is EIGHT volumes, not eighteen. ceph-osd is placed on the four storage
nodes per DC (bundle.yaml:556-557, to: ["5","6","7","8"]). The other five
nodes per DC neither run ceph-osd nor need a second device. My earlier framing
said "all 18 nodes" -- true of the measured defect, wrong about the fix.
- Rack headroom measured before asserting feasibility: dc0 2.0T available, dc1
2.9T available under /var/lib/libvirt, thin-provisioned qcow2.
Why (a) over (b): MINIMIZE DELTA TO ROOSEVELT -- Roosevelt storage nodes have
real dedicated disks. Option (b) was also not safe to pick as presented: whether
ceph-osd at the pinned squid/stable supports a directory- or partition-backed
OSD was explicitly UNRESEARCHED, and the audit refused to assert it either way.
THE APPLY IS NOT AUTHORISED BY THIS RULING. Four preconditions recorded, the
sharpest being that re-commissioning is required for MAAS to see the new device,
and whether that preserves the D-134 statics and pinned MACs is UNVERIFIED --
the 2026-07-20 MAC-regeneration incident is the precedent for exactly that class.
modules/node-vm is shared by both DCs, so the change must be additive/opt-in or
it plans against all 18 domains.
Revert: git revert this commit; the amendment is additive and no artifact changed.

Stage-5 grounding audit: post-review corrections + dc1 egress MEASURED
...
Three fixes from a final review pass, one of which is a new measurement.
MEASUREMENT -- dc1 edge egress is OPEN, probed rather than assumed. Lens 5 had
correctly listed this as UNMEASURED (it rested on a record). Probed directly
from the dc1 rack with --noproxy so an apt-cacher hit could not fake it:
streams.canonical.com/juju/tools/ -> 200 (the agent stream bootstrap actually
needs), api.snapcraft.io reachable, archive.ubuntu.com -> 200, ping 1.1.1.1 0%
loss, default route via 10.12.64.1. So Phase 5.2 stays a standing caveat rather
than becoming a blocker -- but it is now measured, and the row says to re-probe
immediately before bootstrap because the measurement has a shelf life.
DELIVERABLE CORRECTIONS:
- The readiness doc said "Eleven decisions are yours", which reads as the total.
It is 11 blocking (R1-R11) plus 4 standing (R12-R15) = 15, now stated as such,
with the GA-R5 one-at-a-time rule restated at the point of use.
- Phase 3's intro still said the runbook fails "in at least five distinct ways"
from before lens 5 added ten more rows. Corrected to 21 listed corrections and
nine independent failure paths, with the rows named.
- R9 and R11 are NOT independent of R2 and were presented as if they were. Both
now carry an explicit "ANSWER R2 FIRST" dependency, matching R8. R2 decides
what the VIP literals ARE; R9 only asks where they live, and R11's VIPs are
single- or dual-family depending on it. Under dual-stack, the L3-9 overlay
collision must be solved BEFORE either authority is populated.
Also recorded for future sessions: there is no Bash(timeout *) allow rule, which
is why lens 1's `timeout 240 bash scripts/preflight.sh` was denied while the bare
command is allowed -- a failed-to-MATCH, same class as the 2026-07-26 quoted-sudo
finding, not a classifier override.
Revert: git revert this commit; all changes are to audit artifacts.

Stage-5 grounding audit: lens 5 + the three deliverables
...
VERDICT: Stage 5 would NOT run error-free today, and would fail early. The
substrate underneath is excellent -- all three OpenTofu roots ZERO DIFF, 18
nodes Ready exact to D-121 Option C, MACs and power addresses matching
lib-hosts, D-134 statics perfect, 17 fabrics, zero orphaned interfaces, both
artifact paths serving, gauntlet ALL GREEN (81). What is not ready is the
layer between the substrate and the deploy.
LENS 5 (relaunched after an API error) returned the ordered precondition list
and the largest runbook defect found: Step 4 says "follow phase-01 verbatim",
and phase-01 ACTIVELY REFUSES dc1 -- its VIP guard greps bundle.yaml for
eleven 10.12.4.x VIPs, dc1's live in an overlay on 10.12.64/68/72, so it
takes the "ABORT: VIP guard failed" branch. After the ruled VIP extraction it
aborts for dc0 too. It also carries hardcoded VR0 system_ids, a jumphost-local
libvirt loop over disks that do not exist, and a 4-machine plan gate against a
9-machine bundle.
Three Stage-5 gate commands cannot execute at all, measured against the juju
actually installed (3.6.27): juju run used for a shell command when it is the
action runner; download-backup given a backup-id when it takes a controller
path; and the geneve gate grepping ovn-central for a config key the same
runbook says does not exist. Four of the five VERIFY-LIVE gates the record
says Stage 5 owes have NO step in the runbook -- including the keystone
policyd-override check, which is RULED.
Two convergent confirmations raise confidence in the whole set: the Ceph OSD
blocker was found independently by two lenses using different methods, and the
stale-clone blocker independently by this session and lens 5.
DELIVERABLES:
- docs/audit/stage5-readiness-20260727.md -- ordered precondition checklist,
READ FIRST. 5 phases, each row with status/evidence/what-breaks.
- docs/audit/stage5-committee-raw-20260727.md -- all 7 lenses verbatim.
- docs/audit/queued-rulings-20260727.md -- 11 Stage-5-blocking + 4 standing
questions, GA-R5 shape, one exchange each, blank utterance lines. NONE
adopted; a batch answer rules NOTHING.
MECHANICAL FIX TAKEN (exactly one, deliberately): the G3 gate row read OPEN
with a standing FREEZE while its own cited evidence file records G3 CLOSED and
the freeze lifted. Left standing, that clause would have blocked the very
DOCFIX batch this audit queues. No ruling was required -- two surfaces already
declared it closed.
The 21-item DOCFIX remediation batch is LOGGED NOT EXECUTED. Nearly every
runbook fix interlocks with an unanswered ruling, so landing them now would
encode assumptions about questions the operator has not answered.
Next-free numbers unchanged (D 138 / DOCFIX 205 / BUNDLEFIX 053) -- no number
was assigned, correctly, since nothing was remediated.
Revert: git revert this commit; the deliverables are new files and the
CURRENT-STATE edits are additive plus the one G3 correction.
