savegame 2026-08-09 (part 3): ledger close -- D-143 re-IP ruled + Roosevelt-held review + advisor-label correction + Fable-5 recheck + container-elim pass scoped (GA-R4)
...
Bounded (15-line) close block for the post-part-2 work this session. All part-3
deliverables are in committed durable docs (D-143 in design-decisions.md; the two
reviews + the container-elim-pass folder under docs/audit/), so no separate sweep
file is needed -- nothing was transcript-only. Ledger at 296 lines (<300; no
rotation needed). Durability: this host 0 uncommitted / 0 unpushed at e20f8ae;
voffice1 synced.

Correct unverified "fable advisor" label -> "the advisor" across this session's records (operator-flagged)
...
The advisor() tool exposes no backing-model identity; "fable advisor" was an
inherited repo memory convention, not a measured fact. Asserting a specific model
name is the fabricated-value class the repo posture forbids (and the same
assert-without-verifying class instrument-currency memory tracks).
Corrected in THIS session's records: open-items-review + roosevelt-held-decisions-
review (Section 8 headers + terminology notes), CURRENT-STATE pointers, the
open-items sweep file, and the session-ledger close block -> "the advisor". Memory
instrument-currency #25 + MEMORY.md index corrected, plus a standing TERMINOLOGY
CAVEAT added so future entries say "the advisor," not a model name.
NOT rewritten (append-only history; prior sessions, may have had their own basis):
prior-session records (#23/#24 memory, the geneve changelogs/root-cause/CURRENT-STATE
pivot banner, gua-carve proposal) and the already-pushed commit messages f4aee80/
809903d/40d8a46. Those stand as history; this correction supersedes the label going forward.
REVERT: git revert this commit (restores the "fable advisor" wording).

savegame 2026-08-09 (part 2): open-items review bookend -- GA-R4 (sweep + ledger close + rotation + memory #25)
...
GA-R4 BOOKEND for the open-items-review session. Sweep proves the session's
substance is on a repo surface (docs/audit/queued-findings-20260809-open-items-review.txt).
- Ledger: 15-line close appended; the two 2026-08-07 blocks rotated to
docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260809.md (oldest-first); file 285 lines (<300).
- Sweep FIRST SURFACE: FS1 the repeatable method for the 2 completed re-IP live-free
checks (apex dump from vcloud + tailnet enum from office1-tailscale); FS2 access facts
(VR0 tailnet-only/unreachable from vcloud; tailnet also carries Roosevelt 10.17.x +
willamette, all clear of 10.13); FS3 raw captures ephemeral.
- Memory: instrument-currency #25 (P5 gate read on the wrong host -> "12 findings"
manufactured-decision framing, caught by the advisor) + MEMORY.md index.
- CURRENT-STATE: sweep pointer added (L10/GA-R1 C1).
OWNED (also in open-items-review Section 8): P5-wrong-host framing (#25); "sums to 28"
was 24; SEC-021(a) overstated (S2 still red); shred-hazard on a likely-live token;
CLOBBERED session-ledger-rotated-20260809.md with a Write (overwrote a tracked file I had
not read) -- caught in git status, restored from HEAD + appended.
REVERT: git rm the sweep file; revert the ledger/archive/CURRENT-STATE hunks. The
prior review commit f4aee80 is independent and stays.

bookend: land prior part-2 GA-R4 close + dc0-activation part-3 progress (amphora FIXED, LB blocked on v6 overlay)
...
Lands the prior session's savegame residue (GA-R4 part-2 close block in
session-ledger.md, the 2026-08-08 ledger rotation to archive/, and the
dc0-activation-checkpoint queued-findings sweep) which was left uncommitted
pending the operator's push decision (now pushed: a25ed99..a6340e6).
CURRENT-STATE.md gets this session's (part 3) measured status update, which
also clears repo-lint L10 for the docs/audit/ sweep file:
- amphora build RESOLVED (was part-2 retrofit exit-1 INCIDENT): root cause
loop-devices-absent-in-LXD + dib-apt-targets-unreachable-public-archive;
fix = loop passthrough + retrofit ubuntu-mirror -> dc0 mirror. Image
775ebeba... ACTIVE+tagged octavia-amphora.
- G18 OWED#3 (o-hm0 MTU) PASS.
- 1 test LB blocked on geneve-over-v6 overlay (o-hm0->amphora 100% ICMPv6
loss); UNDER INVESTIGATION (== the verify-live geneve-over-v6 wrap gate).
Revert: git revert this commit (records only; no live cloud state changed by
this commit -- the live mutations are logged for the forthcoming changelog).

savegame 2026-08-08: dc0 .7 tailscale FIXED (advertise-only) + 10.13 re-IP PIVOT + dc0 checkpoint plan
...
GA-R4 bookend + sweep for the session that fixed the dc0 .7 tailscale install
(advertise-only, --authkey=file:, check guards -- committed 02e0b12/faef662) and
surfaced the 10.12->10.13 re-IP pivot.
- CURRENT-STATE: 2026-08-08 pivot callout -- 10.12 collides with the live IPv4
cloud; drive dc0 to full deployment as a CHECKPOINT, then teardown+redeploy on
10.13; the re-IP is a D-115 supersession + D-101 termination, NOT YET RULED.
- Sweep docs/audit/queued-findings-20260808-...reip-pivot.txt (F1-F16): the pivot,
the D-115 conflict, MAAS profiles missing on the racks (fix existing+rebuild),
no service migration (DC0>MAAS-regional>MAAS-rack), dc0 live inventory,
checkpoint scope, + instrument-currency #22 (F3 wrong-store retraction; pkill
self-match).
- 10.13 NetBox subnetting DRAFT (Task #2; octet-preserving proposal, not ruled).
- changelog-20260807 F3 retraction/correction; bounded ledger close summary.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (102); repo-lint 0 fail. Tasks #1-#4 pinned.
Status ONLY in CURRENT-STATE.md.

NetBox-pending: queue this session's new IPAM objects for office1-netbox (operator-flagged)
...
office1-netbox (10.10.1.10) is the live VR1 IPAM apex (DOCFIX-195); this
session's new objects are not yet in it. Enumerated in changelog Item 11
(dc0 .7 + dc1 .6 region VM + new vr1-dc1-region + dc1 .7-when-live +
D-134 utility .4-.9 assignments + dc0 renames) and flagged as a
do-not-miss NetBox item in the next-session NEXT (CURRENT-STATE + ledger)
so it isn't lost before the end-of-deployment write-back.

vr1-dc1-region MAAS is LIVE -- region init done on the .6 (operator-authorised one-shot)
...
Located the shared vr1-office1-svc key ON VCLOUD (~/vr1-office1-creds/
office1_svc_ed25519, fingerprint matches the injected key -- operator's
"what was used on DC0"); reached the .6 from vcloud (key stays local,
ProxyCommand via voffice1->rack). Snap egress works via the snapd proxy
10.12.68.2:8000. Installed maas 3.7.2 + postgresql 16.14. Operator
authorised ("You run it"); ran the file-staged credential one-shot (creds
generated + stored 0600 on the .6, NEVER in my context): DB role+db,
maas init region+rack, createadmin. http://10.12.68.6:5240/MAAS/ -> 301.
OWED: consolidate the .6 creds to ~/vr1-dc1-creds/ (SEC-020/D-137).
NEXT: register vr1-dc1-region profile + config via tested tools + rebuild

dc1-region workstream START: .6 region VM bootstrapped to Ready + MAAS 3.7 procedure researched
...
Operator ruled dc1 node-handling "Rebuild fresh into dc1-region". Measured:
dc1's full set is in the Office1 region (9 nodes+juju Ready; .6/.7 Failed
commissioning on unset-power). Bootstrapped the .6 region VM (Office1-side,
like dc0 hot-kid): power set, renamed normal-piglet->vr1-dc1-maas-01
(convention), recommissioned -> Ready (a transient virsh-login error
cleared on retry).
Researched + recorded the MAAS 3.7 region+rack install/init (changelog
Item 7; matches Office1 3.7.2 + PostgreSQL 16; external DB required;
createadmin=SEC-020 operator one-shot). Remaining next-session: extend
aux-carve for -maas-01 + carve .6 (10.12.68.6 + 10.12.64.6) before deploy
(hot-kid under-carve lesson); deploy jammy; MAAS init one-shot; register
region + config via tested tools; rebuild 9 nodes+juju+.7 fresh into it.

D-134 amendment: MAAS hostname naming convention (standing) + dc1 rebuild-fresh ruling

Operator: "Record that as the preferred naming convention going forward."
Recorded the VR1 MAAS hostname convention (set vr1-<dc>-<role>-NN ==
libvirt domain == power_id after commission/deploy; random-by-default is
not leave-it-random; standup DoD = 0 non-vr1-<dc>-* names) as a D-134
AMENDMENT (per-DC identity standard; ARCH, no new number) + lib-hosts
comment.
dc1 node-handling RULED "Rebuild fresh into dc1-region" (build region,
then power/enlist/commission/deploy the 9 nodes+juju FRESH into it, not
delete+re-enlist) -> CURRENT-STATE dc1 block + ledger NEXT.

DOCFIX-209: correct SKILL.md session-CLOSE bookend + re-seed ledger machine-block
...
SKILL.md's always-loaded close-bookend line conflated two ratified mechanisms:
GA-R4 rule 2 (ledger rotation) and GA-R2/D1 (changelog = session body-of-record).
"the full session body goes to docs/archive/ in the same close commit" is wrong on
both counts -- the per-session body is the changelog (docs/changelog-<date>-<label>.md,
cited by a Body: line in the SESSION CLOSE block), and docs/archive/ holds rotated
ledgers (session-ledger-rotated-*.md) + per-stage consolidated records
(archive/changelogs/, archive/stage-records/), never per-session bodies. Corrected in
SKILL.md and the byte-identical line in the derived consolidated-20260727 snapshot.
operating-discipline.md (Session continuity) was already correct -- no edit.
Disposition operator-ruled 2026-08-05 "Proceed as DOCFIX-209": both same-day rulings,
read correctly, back the practice and contradict the skill line, so no ratified text
changes. Body: docs/changelog-20260805-skill-close-convention-docfix.md.
Also re-seeded session-ledger.md machine-derived block from ledger-scan (prior seed
2026-08-02, stale): 4 open decisions (D-142 added), 29 open SEC (SEC-033 added),
next-free D-143 / DOCFIX-210 / BUNDLEFIX-053. No status-bearing surface touched
(a skill routing line is not a status claim -- no GA-R1 L10 coupling). Stage 5 dc0
untouched. repo-lint 0 fail / 1 legacy warn; skill files ASCII-clean; ledger fences OK.

Close-fix 2026-08-05: add Body changelog, verify root CA (openssl), reconcile D-142 scan-visibility + durability
...
Advisor-caught close gaps against the repo's own convention:
- Body: NEW docs/changelog-20260805-vault-init-ovn-resolved.md (prior closes cite a
changelog Body: line; the 08-05 close block had Sweep: but no Body:). Ledger + CURRENT-STATE
now cite it.
- Root CA: decoded the ACTUAL pasted PEM with openssl on the rack (not a self-decode).
Confirms notBefore Aug 5 02:05:57 2026 / notAfter Aug 2 01:06:27 2036 GMT; adds sha256
75:DF:33:97:...:35:A1. as-exit as-built + CURRENT-STATE updated to measured fact.
- D-142 Status now leads "PROPOSED / OPEN" so ledger-scan surfaces it (was invisible; scan
keys the open list off the Status token) -> reconciles the close block's "4 open decisions".
- Durability line completed: voffice1 PULLED to sync (was 3321c57, 4 behind); dc0 rack
~/repo-stage unaffected (docs-only; preflight sha verified); gauntlet not owed (docs-only).

SESSION CLOSE 2026-08-04 (GA-R4 bookend): ovn-central cert PROVEN + WIRED; SEC-033 filed
...
Bookend for the session that root-caused ovn-central's cert failure (isolated
metal-internal plane -> empty CN), proved the /etc/hosts fix live, and wired it
via dc-node-etchosts.sh + phase-01 Step 1.2b. Stage 5 remains OPEN.
- docs/session-ledger.md: bounded 2026-08-04 summary; oldest block (07-31 node
carve) rotated to docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260804.md; 295 lines.
- docs/security-ledger.md: SEC-033 (tls-certificates relation databag exposes
vault's global-client private key to any juju model reader; interface-level).
- docs/audit/queued-findings-20260804-ovn-cert-fix.txt: close sweep, 4 FIRST
SURFACE (SEC-033-now-filed, live-model test drift, rack repo-stage prereq,
juju-routing research note).
- docs/CURRENT-STATE.md: SESSION CLOSE 2026-08-04 pointer; NEXT = step 3 redeploy.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (99), repo-lint 0 fail. voffice1 synced to HEAD.

SESSION CLOSE 2026-08-03 (GA-R4 bookend): dc0 bundle deployed, controller rebuilt, vault up; ovn-central cert deferred
...
Stage 5 remains OPEN; session bookend, not a stage close.
Deploy mid-Stage-5: bundle deployed + mostly converged (9 machines started, mysql
ONLINE, vault init+unseal+root-CA, ~25 units active, 0 error). DOCFIX-208 fixed
the machines-overlay omission; D-135 amendment (b) converged dc0 onto the apt
proxy; D-141 v4 VIP revert cleared keystone Invalid vips; controller rebuilt via
new Path C after a --force destroy orphaned it.
ovn-central x3 DEGRADED and DEFERRED: LP #2044324, cert request missing
common_name -> no server cert -> OVN cluster not formed. Three remedies exhausted.
GATE RED AT CLOSE (recorded): gauntlet 1/98 FAIL provider-bundle-check -- the
D-141 v4 revert left the deploy overlay v4-only while the harness asserts
dual-family; logged, harness owes a reconcile. repo-lint 0 fail.
Bookend: ledger summary (292 lines after rotating 07-30 pt5), sweep
queued-findings-20260803 (4 first surface), CURRENT-STATE close block, savegame
Step 1b (pull inner clones at close, operator-directed). voffice1 pulled to sync.
Owned: twice asserted a wrong ovn-central cert root cause; flagged a ruled
binding exception (D-072) nearly reverted without grepping the D-NNN; shipped the
v4 revert without its harness update.
Next: escalate LP #2044324; reconcile provider-bundle-check to D-141; phase-03
core verify. Status ONLY in CURRENT-STATE.md.

SESSION CLOSE 2026-08-02 (part 2, GA-R4 bookend): queued backlog cleared, mirror root-caused, D-139 step 6 EXECUTED
...
DURABILITY TRIAD, MEASURED: vcloud 0 uncommitted / 0 unpushed; voffice1 SYNCED (was 1
behind -- it is the D-128 Plane-2 host where preflight runs); dc0 rack ~/repo-stage all 13
tracked files MATCH the repo, so the D-138 deploy client is in sync. That last check is the
one that caught the stale VIP overlay at the previous close.
GATES, quoted: repo-lint 0 fail / 1 warn (legacy D-001..018 ASCII carve-out); run-tests-all
GAUNTLET: ALL GREEN (98 harnesses), 97 -> 98 for the one harness added with its manifest
recorded deliberately; ledger-scan 3 open decisions, 28 open SEC (none opened this session),
next-free D-141 / DOCFIX-208 / BUNDLEFIX-053. RECONCILED: DOCFIX 207 -> 208 matches the one
number assigned; SEC unchanged at 28 matches zero rows opened; manifest 97 -> 98 matches the
one harness added.
WHAT THE SESSION DID: closed sweep F1 (rack deploy input re-staged) and F6 (maasdb proven
uncorrupted by a full-table pg_dump); diagnosed then ROOT-CAUSED F2 -- one of nine
archive.ubuntu.com backends hangs on a single dep11 object while serving its siblings, the
resolver rotates, 11/12 fetches succeed, and apt is unaffected because it fetches the .xz;
graduated F3/F4/F5 to platform-traps and script-authoring; assigned DOCFIX-207; and EXECUTED
D-139 step 6 -- 26 GUA VIP addresses created, 26 ULA addresses + 9 prefixes deprecated,
nothing deleted, plus 4 of 5 MAAS ULA subnets removed with the fifth HELD because it carries
the juju controller's and the MAAS region's only recorded v6.
CLOSE SWEEP: docs/audit/queued-findings-20260802-step6-queued-items.txt -- SIX FIRST
SURFACE, each grep-proven absent from every repo surface first. Highest-consequence: a broad
Bash(ssh vr1-dc0-maas *) allow rule in gitignored state, and -- found by tracing consequence
-- four destructive MAAS deletes that matched NO ask rule, because the committed rules pin
the `maas admin` profile and the double-quoted form while this session used
`maas vr1-dc0-region` in single quotes. Consent was given separately, so nothing was
bypassed, but the GATE did not fire; same rule-fails-to-MATCH class as the 2026-07-30 DHCP
cutover, now RECURRING rather than one-off.
GA-R7 MEMORY REVIEW: CLEAN -- zero entries claiming operator policy, priority or posture.
One update: instrument-currency gains instance THIRTEEN, a new shape (a comparison that
could never match, returning a clean ZERO) plus the meta-lesson that writing the rule down
does not inoculate against it -- three checkers that could not fail shipped in the same
session that landed the rule, and none was caught by re-reading my own work.
LEDGER ROTATED (GA-R4 rule 3): 294 lines would have breached the 300 cap; the TWO oldest
closed summaries moved VERBATIM to docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260802b.md; ledger
now 287. No orphaned session -- rule 7 is a no-op. NO STAGE OPENED OR CLOSED; Stage 5
remains OPEN and this is a session bookend.
NEXT SESSION'S FIRST ITEM: the preflight-P2 / phase4 machines-overlay asymmetry -- P2
validates a merged input the deploy never passes -- then the bundle deploy.

Queued-findings backlog: sweep F1 + F6 CLOSED, F2 diagnosed, F3/F4/F5 graduated, DOCFIX-207
...
Works the 2026-08-02 close sweep (docs/audit/queued-findings-20260802-stage5-edge-fold.txt)
with three read-only agents in parallel. Cites the SWEEP register (F1-F6); the runbook fold
register has its own F1-F12 and is untouched.
sweep F1 CLOSED -- the dc0 rack's staged deploy input matches the repo again. One gated scp
of overlays/vr1-dc0-vips.yaml, ed19d989e80da8da -> 80d861560a6b3c52. A single-file copy was
provably sufficient because the WHOLE staging dir was enumerated first: 14 files, exactly 1
diverged, 0 missing from the Step-4 deploy closure (policies/overrides.zip present at the
repo digest), 0 orphans. All 14 re-verified against CURRENT HEAD after the copy. The 0600
octavia PKI overlay is untouched (same digest/mode/mtime) and was hashed, never read.
Repo-side correctness MEASURED not inherited: 0 ULA legs, 39 GUA, render-drift 4/4 naming
the file with a proof-of-teeth case.
sweep F6 CLOSED, PASS -- the dc0 MAAS region DB is proven uncorrupted. pg_dump read every
page of every table in maasdb: 23,878,796 bytes / 37,199 lines / exit 0 / empty stderr,
completion marker asserted separately. F6's own diagnosis was wrong: snap confinement does
not reproduce as ubuntu. The discriminators are ROLE (maas, not ubuntu) and TRANSPORT (over
TCP the role is password-challenged, over the unix socket it needs no credential). Both
identity values now measured -- maasdb had been prose. Dump streamed, nothing persisted.
sweep F2 DIAGNOSED, not fixed -- reading R1 is true, R2 refuted. debmirror prints "All done."
then exits non-zero; confirmed at vendor source and re-verified independently here
(debmirror 1:2.39ubuntu2, 1615 say("All done."), 1620 exit 1 if !$ignore_small_errors).
Cause: one 500 read timeout on a jammy-backports dep11 index. TWO corrections to the sweep:
its "the log says it succeeded" quotes all came from the PASSING UCA leg; and "stays RED"
overstates it -- measured 16 runs, 7 finished, 9 failed, with four fail-then-succeed pairs
hours apart. No remedy applied: debmirror's exit code conflates "nothing mirrored" with
"mirrored minus N transient files", so any tolerance change alters what the gate attests.
DOCFIX-207 -- preflight P6 quoted "50 apps / 97 relations"; measured is 56 / 108. The same
figures were corrected in phase-01's own gate on 2026-07-10 and this copy was missed.
sweep F3/F4/F5 graduated from the audit capture to durable homes: systemctl show fabricating
Result=success for a non-existent unit -> platform-traps 5c; assert the harness case count
moved, and two scripts probing one endpoint must share the probe definition -> script-authoring.
Logged NOT fixed (hard rule 1): preflight P2 validates a merged input including
vr1-dc0-machines.yaml while phase4:527-528 says the file does not exist and Step 4 does not
pass it -- a gate grading a different artifact than the deploy consumes, on the Step-4 path.
And security-ledger SEC-029(3) calls ~/repo-stage a nine-file copy; it is fourteen.
session-ledger machine-derived block re-seeded (was the 2026-07-27 seed: 21 SEC / D-138;
now 28 SEC / D-141 / DOCFIX-208, each added SEC row verified against the register).
Gates: repo-lint 0 fail / 1 warn (legacy carve-out); run-tests-all ALL GREEN (97 harnesses,
count unchanged, so nothing moved silently); tests/preflight 43/43; tests/render-drift 4/4.

SESSION CLOSE 2026-08-02 (GA-R4 bookend): dc0 edge rebuilt, D-139 steps 1-3, fold opened
...
Durability triad caught a live deploy hazard: the dc0 rack's ~/repo-stage VIP overlay is
STALE (ed19d989 vs repo 80d86156) because this session re-rendered it onto GUA and nothing
propagates to a directory with no git. Under D-138 that rack IS the deploy client, so a
deploy from it would place 26 VIP legs on the ULA prefixes D-139 retires. The 08-01 sweep
recorded these digests matching, so that note now misleads. Logged, not fixed -- first
item next session.
Gates: repo-lint 0 fail / 1 warn (654 files); gauntlet ALL GREEN (97); ledger-scan 3 open
decisions, 28 open SEC, next-free D-141 / DOCFIX-207 / BUNDLEFIX-053. Reconciled against
what the session claimed: D 140->141, SEC 26->28, manifest 96->97.
Mirror sync re-ran and the content IS current (both Release files rewritten today, UCA now
succeeds so egress is genuinely fixed) but records FAIL: the journal says "Everything OK...
All done." then systemd status=1/FAILURE. dc-mirror.sh check stays red on an exit code that
disagrees with the sync's own verdict. Not relaxed to clear it.
Sweep: docs/audit/queued-findings-20260802-stage5-edge-fold.txt, 6 FIRST SURFACE, each
grep-proven absent first. Memory review clean; instrument-currency gains instances ten
through twelve. Ledger rotated 283 -> 266, now 286; no orphaned session. No stage opened
or closed -- Stage 5 remains OPEN.

Both DC VMs 416 -> 480 GiB; 128 GiB swap; new preflight gate P8 (substrate drift)
...
POST-BOOKEND: the GA-R4 bookend (4b8ba3c) was committed BEFORE this work, so the
ledger close summary and the 08-01 sweep do not cover it. The ledger line is
AMENDED in this commit rather than left stale.
Operator: "Option 2 look sgood me. I approve the sequencing, process as
autonomously as possible" -- +64 GiB to EACH DC with swap first, over my
recommendation of +48. The deciding arithmetic, put up before the ruling: at +64
each, 994 GiB allocated against a 1007.4 GiB host = 13.4 GiB residual while the
host's OWN measured footprint is 18.0 GiB, with 1 GiB swap free. Swap is what
makes +64 safe, hence the sequencing.
PROBLEM FIXED, MEASURED: dc0's rack ran 402 GiB of inner guests in a 409 GiB host
(98.3%), leaving 7 GiB for the rack OS, mirror, snap proxy and page cache. Each
rack now has ~71 GiB.
SWAP: operator-run -- sudo -n is NOT available on vcloud so that half could not be
automated. /swap2.img 128 GiB, 600 root:root, live + fstab. 135 GiB total.
CHANGED THROUGH TOFU, the only correct place: a virsh setmaxmem would have been
reverted by the next apply. The derivation now lives IN the variable comment.
PLAN ASSERTED ON CONTENT (2026-07-20: an in-place apply silently regenerated 9
node MACs): per DC 1 in-place, 0 create/destroy/replace, 0 MAC changes, memory the
only changed attribute. A THIRD resource appeared and was resolved BEFORE
applying: module.office1_opnsense ~ id = 2 -> 11 sits under "has changed outside
of OpenTofu" (drift OBSERVED), not "will be updated in-place" (action PLANNED) --
libvirt's domain id is a runtime value. It was not touched.
dc1 FIRST AS CANARY, and it answered the open question: the in-place update
BOUNCES the guest (domain id 9 -> 12, uptime 0 min). Guest sees 472.2 GiB.
>>> FINDING: vr1-dc0-maas-01 (MAAS region) and vr1-dc0-juju-01 (juju controller)
have autostart=disable. <<< Only the edge auto-recovers. Checking first is the
only reason the dc0 bounce did not come back looking catastrophic. Both started by
hand and verified. LOGGED NOT FIXED: a host reboot leaves dc0 with no region and
no controller -- a standing exposure independent of this change.
RESULT: host used 809 -> 63 GiB, available 197 -> 944 GiB; the restarts also
released the stranded RSS (vvr1-dc1 354 -> 12 GiB), discharging 08-01 sweep F1 as
a side effect. Recovery verified end to end: MAAS region API 000 -> 502 -> 200 (a
real boot progression), snap proxy listening, mirror 200, juju controller model
"Last connection: just now".
GATE P8 -- substrate drift. Built because answering "does tofu need updates
logged" produced a measurement: preflight.sh and pre-flight-checks.sh contained
ZERO tofu plan checks and the opnsense drift had sat unseen. DESIGN POINT:
-detailed-exitcode returns 2 for BOTH a pending change and a harmless observation,
so P8 asserts on CONTENT -- pending ACTION FAILS, observed-only drift WARNS,
unrecognised shape REFUSES. A gate permanently red on benign drift gets ignored.
It WARNS rather than fails when it cannot look, since the outer root lives on
vcloud and "not the substrate host" is a legitimate state.
Harness 33 -> 38 (T34-T38). Baseline proven by stashing: my first draft's 7
failures were MINE, not pre-existing. Three mutations each killed a NAMED test,
script restored sha256-identical. T38 exercises the absence by removing the
fixture STATE, never the fake tofu from fakebin -- the real tofu is on the system
PATH and a "closed" PATH would fall through to the LIVE substrate. PROVEN LIVE:
tofu exit=0, 0 pending, 0 drift -> [ok] zero diff.
SCOPE: tofu owns the SUBSTRATE only. MAAS carves, rack services and the v6 node
carve are script-driven by design (Model B / D-123); P8 does not check them.
gauntlet ALL GREEN (96); repo-lint 0 fail.

SESSION CLOSE 2026-08-01 (GA-R4 bookend): snap proxy LIVE, D-139, IPv6 proven
...
DURABILITY TRIAD: vcloud 0 uncommitted / 0 unpushed at 844b2e4. voffice1 was 36
commits BEHIND and has been brought current. The dc0 rack's ~/repo-stage (D-138
client input, NO git) was DIGEST-COMPARED not assumed: bundle.yaml and both
non-PKI overlays sha256-MATCH the repo, octavia-pki correctly absent (gitignored).
The provenance gap is real; the drift is not.
GATES: repo-lint 0 fail / 1 warn (legacy carve-out), 649 files; gauntlet ALL GREEN
(96 harnesses); ledger-scan 3 open decisions, 26 open SEC (none opened this
session), next-free D-140 / DOCFIX-207 / BUNDLEFIX-053. RECONCILED: D moved
139->140 matching the one D-number assigned; SEC unchanged matching zero opened.
SWEEP: docs/audit/queued-findings-20260801-stage5-ipv6-d139.txt -- SEVEN FIRST
SURFACE items, each grep-proven absent from every repo surface before writing.
F1 is highest-consequence: the capacity headroom the next deploy needs is HELD BY
TWO IDLE VMs (vvr1-dc0 434 GB RSS, vvr1-dc1 371 GB, ~805 of 1007 GB) with dc0's
nodes powered off and dc1 carrying no model -- and this document's own capacity
record was computed against ALLOCATION, not residency. Also: the voffice1 lag; the
host-lag investigation and its NEGATIVE result; the rack digest MATCH; that no
gitignored permission rules changed; a transient _fmtprobe.tf; and the PreToolUse
guard firing on PROSE containing a guarded command's name.
GA-R7 MEMORY REVIEW: CLEAN -- zero entries claiming operator policy, priority or
posture. One update: instrument-currency gains its NINTH instance in a new shape
-- a "closed" PATH that still held the binaries it was meant to hide. Generalised
as: when a negative depends on an ABSENCE, prove it rather than arranging it.
LEDGER ROTATED (GA-R4 rule 3): stood at 296 lines and this close would have
breached 300. The two oldest closed-session summaries moved VERBATIM to
docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260801.md; ledger now 282. No orphaned
session, so rule 7 is a no-op. NO STAGE OPENED OR CLOSED -- Stage 5 remains OPEN
and this is a session bookend, not a GA-R6 stage close.
OWNED: my BUG-1 fix was wrong; I scoped the v6 experiment wrong (ceph couples
storage+replication); I stated an agent's input source wrongly; I scoped a research
agent with no repo path so 355 lines landed in /tmp and needed rescuing; and one
commit went red on ASCII-only em-dashes.
