Prior commit 34c8770 pushed with a non-ASCII em-dash in the committee doc

Diagnostic committee (4 reviewers) refutes marginal-timeout 4/4; MTU exonerated by measurement ...

Committee synthesis: docs/audit/commissioning-committee-20260720.md. Consensus:
30-min silence = a HANG not slow progress, so raising node_timeout is the wrong
knob; the proposed one-node test was confounded (timeout + concurrency changed
together). Process errors caught: measured rack not region, tcpdump doubly
mis-scoped (port + window), enlistment paradox resolved (MAAS logs script
COMPLETION so a hung commissioning-only script = identical silence). Pivotal
zero-cost reads: metal-admin MAAS VLAN MTU = 1500 -> guest never jumbo -> MTU
branch EXONERATED; region ample RAM, Temporal quiet at rest (175k wedge errors
were pre-restart). Live causes now: region Temporal starvation during a run,
and a commissioning-only script hang on nested-virt hardware. Decisive gated
test: one commission + console=ttyS0 kernel opt + full-window lease-IP capture
on virbr2+enp1s0.

Clean commissioning experiment: contention refuted; leading hypothesis = marginal 30-min timeout over slow nested I/O ...

Genuinely isolated node (0 others running, 397GiB free, terminal start
state, read-only polling) still failed at 1770s = 29.5/30 min. Refutes
contention but consistent with INHERENTLY SLOW; batch 3-pass/6-fail-at-the-
mark is the classic marginal-timeout signature. 3 nodes reached Ready on the
same rack/subnet/metadata path, so metadata is not globally broken (:5248 up,
rack->region 301; a :5248 tcpdump was inconclusive -- window closed before
the fetch stage). Recommended test needs an operator decision (MAAS-wide
config): raise node_timeout, commission one node. Stopped live diagnosis per
the circuit-breaker.

appendix-A: new incident class -- MAAS says dhcp_on=True but no dhcpd runs (Temporal wedged) ...

Records the 2026-07-20 incident by verbatim symptom: config vs running state
disagree, MAAS's own service_set reports healthy, and the region journal
shows Temporal 'Not enough hosts to serve the request'. Check is pgrep -c
dhcpd on EVERY controller; fix is snap restart maas on the region, verified
behaviorally. Includes the scope trap that made it invisible for days: an
already-built site keeps working because deployed VMs hold their addresses,
so it only surfaces when new nodes try to PXE.

opentofu-validate: cover EXTRA roots (vr1-dc0-substrate, vr1-dc0-maas) -- second blind spot closed ...

The gate validated the outer root + every module and NOTHING ELSE, so both
applied roots shipped while it reported ALL GREEN over them -- the same
false-confidence failure the module loop exists to prevent. Roots are
DISCOVERED (any dir with a *.tf declaring terraform{}), not hardcoded, so a
future vr1-dc1-* root is covered the day it appears. Validated in a copy of
the WHOLE tree, because these roots reference ../modules by relative path
(copying the root alone gives 'Unreadable module directory' -- measured).
Gitignored *.auto.tfvars are stripped from the temp tree (may hold secrets).
VERIFIED the new check can FAIL: a deliberately broken root produced
[FAIL] vr1-dc0-maas before restoring. Harness 14/14, lint 0 fail.

Rotation obligation + a SCOPE question: libvirt-group is broader than the
power verbs MAAS needs; tighter grant is the hardening candidate and is
Roosevelt-relevant (IPMI has the same power-only-vs-full-control question).

node-vm console shipped (0/9/0 in-place); commissioning narrowed, UNRESOLVED; two of my own experiments disclosed as INVALID ...

Console added + log dir parameterized, but logs stay 0 bytes: firmware
writes to VGA, so serial alone does not make a PXE-booting node observable
-- correction queued (needs graphics + virsh screenshot, or a MAAS kernel
cmdline change). Solid: PXE + ephemeral handoff work; ephemeral OS boots
with working networking (leases + NTP to rack); no region/metadata traffic
seen; memory, image sync, DHCP and shape all ruled out. SEC-010 blocking
node->region is SUSPECTED but unreadable (rules lack counters).
INVALID EXPERIMENTS RECORDED: the 'single node alone' test was not alone
(5-6 nodes still up, proven by tcpdump), and the retry did not restart
MAAS's timer while I destroyed domains mid-run. Contention is therefore a
LIVE hypothesis again, not refuted. Stopped per the circuit-breaker rather
than iterate on contaminated evidence.

modules/node-vm: add serial console + boot log (parameterized dir) ...

Its absence blocked a live diagnosis: 6/9 dc0 nodes stall in MAAS 'Loading
ephemeral' and, with no console and no agent, a stuck node is unobservable.
Same pattern opnsense-edge already carries, for the same reason -- a
PXE-booting node emits everything interesting before anything sshable
exists. Unconditional (MAAS-managed nodes are rebuilt at will; no
live-router bounce risk like the D-129 qga channel). Log dir is a variable
rather than opnsense-edge's hardcoded vcloud literal, which is wrong on any
other libvirt host -- backport queued.

OPEN: 6/9 nodes fail commissioning; contention refuted; blocked on node-vm having no console ...

3 Ready, 6 timed out at 30 min. Hypotheses tested and REFUTED by
measurement: contention (single node alone stuck in Loading ephemeral 20+
min with 385GiB free, load 0.04), rack boot-image sync (status synced, 10
images), DHCP (same nodes enlisted fine earlier). Real blocker is
observability: modules/node-vm defines no serial console, so a stuck node
is a sealed box -- the same gap already logged for cloudinit-vm, now biting
a live diagnosis. Fix is the opt-in serial+log pattern opnsense-edge
already carries; NOT applied, since it re-applies domains mid-diagnosis and
is an operator ruling. Step E prerequisites measured and recorded (dc0-dc1
mesh = virbr5 ON VCLOUD; netem-link assumes passwordless sudo vcloud lacks).

NEW: maas-node-power.sh (+harness 24/24) -- per-machine virsh power, MAC-matched ...

Operator-ruled 2026-07-20 over the pod route. Sets power_type=virsh +
power_address/power_id on already-enlisted machines, matching domains BY MAC
(MAAS renames machines at enlistment, so name matching would map nothing or
the wrong node). Dry by default; every write verified by an actual
query-power-state, since a stored parameter proves nothing about reachability.
Carries the measured reasoning: pods fail on node-vm's pool+volume disks
(domblkinfo 'missing storage backend', reproduced locally), the pod's
discovery role was already done by PXE, and per-node power is the Roosevelt
(IPMI) shape. Gauntlet 72 harnesses ALL GREEN.

Pod path chased to root cause: MAAS virsh pods incompatible with node-vm volume-ref disks; per-machine power PROVEN working ...

Dedicated MAAS->libvirt key minted+wired (operator-ruled). Two further
measured findings: (1) MAAS dials the pod from the REGION, not the rack, so
the credential belongs where MAAS dials from; (2) each 503 created a broken
pod server-side outside tofu state (both deleted). Final blocker: domblkinfo
fails on pool+volume disk refs -- reproduced LOCALLY on the rack with an
active pool, so it is libvirtd, not snap/SSH. Making pods work would mean
converting node-vm to file-path disks + re-applying 9 domains. Not needed:
the pod's job was discovery, which PXE already did, and per-machine
power_type=virsh query-power-state returns state=off on the canary. Per
machine power is also the Roosevelt shape (IPMI per node). Awaiting ruling.
CURRENT-STATE untouched pending the ruling.

Step D part 2: MAAS root shipped; apply refutes D-123's local qemu:///system pod mechanism ...

New opentofu/vr1-dc0-maas root (isolates MAAS creds from substrate roots
per DOCFIX-179's lesson); plan clean, apply failed 'Failed to login to
virsh console'. MEASURED root cause: confined MAAS snap gets Permission
denied on libvirt-sock and ships NO libvirt interface to connect -- a local
qemu:///system pod is architecturally impossible with snap MAAS. D-123
Model B and modules/maas-vm-host both state that mechanism; intent (no
cross-fiber dial) survives, mechanism does not. Amendment pending a ruling.
qemu+ssh replacement measured feasible (snap ships ssh; rack user in
libvirt group). Nothing was created by the failed apply.
