Incident docs: 2 appendix-A entries, platform-traps MAC-regen corollary, LP draft
...
Closes the remaining documentation queue from the 2026-07-21
commissioning incident. Appendix-A gains the MAC-drift and
agent-resolver symptoms (verbatim, with checks + recorded fixes);
platform-traps 1e gains the unpinned-MAC regeneration corollary + index
row; LP draft ready for the operator to file (sanitization warning
included). Still queued: stale pod cleanup at stage close.

DISPOSITION MANIFEST (archive, one-line justifications): clientdocs-
workflow-review (v1 tenant-docs era) / D-057-DECIDED-append +
D-057-REVIEW-ITEMS + README-D057-PACK + D-058-renumber (executed v1

the session changelog. Live-surface refs to all moved files rewritten to

Batch 2 CLOSE: verification + adjudication recorded; last GA-F03 site fixed
...
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (70); repo-lint 0 fail / 1 legacy WARN (L10 at FAIL).
platform-traps:19 tofu pin (the fifth GA-F03 site) demoted; CURRENT-
STATE's known-stale-pins paragraph rotated (all sites fixed, memory copy
= Batch 3). G3 cell: Batches 0-2 CLOSED. Extractor adjudication + the
criterion-mechanics FINDING recorded in the session changelog (live-
surface vocab flags 0; residual groups history-class or mechanical;
literal ZERO-on-counted lands with Batch 4 + Batch 6.1 by construction).
Revert: git revert this commit (docs + one skill row).

GA-F04: skill OPNsense 26.1 rows repointed/requalified (live edge is 26.7)
...
platform-traps: pin-table row points at CURRENT-STATE section 7; section-4
header + fresh-image prose requalified as traps that ENTERED at 26.1 and
persist on later releases (all three traps re-verified applicable to 26.7
per the 2026-07-18 D-129 review). environment.md drops both its OPNsense
pin AND a discovered stale tofu-1.12.3 pin (GA-F03 class, same surface)
for the CURRENT-STATE pointer. Batch 2 item 2.3.
Revert: git revert this commit.

D-125: Model B per-DC ISP egress (bridge-in, single-NAT) -- resolves OBS-3 design gap
...
OBS-3: Model B nesting put vr1-dc0-wan (a libvirt NAT) inside vvr1-dc0, whose
only leg is the SEC-010 FORWARD-dropped transit -- so the per-DC simulated ISP
had no egress. Operator ruled bridge-in (single-NAT) over double-NAT.
- modules/wan-bridge (NEW): libvirt forward=bridge onto a pre-existing host
bridge (bridge={name}, schema measured from the provider, not guessed). No
subnet/NAT. Sibling to site-wan so every NAT user stays untouched. Covered by
opentofu-validate S3 (standalone PASS).
- OUTER root: vcloud ISP NAT vr1_dc0_uplink (the single NAT) + a 2nd IP-less
uplink NIC on vvr1-dc0 + the br-vr1-dc0-wan bridge declared in netplan (transit
stays NIC1 so SEC-010/--transit-if keep keying on it). New HELD var
vr1_dc0_uplink_cidr (no default; office1-netbox apex, hard rule 2).
- INNER root: vr1_dc0_wan site-wan(NAT) -> wan-bridge onto br-vr1-dc0-wan;
OPNsense WAN re-addresses into the vcloud ISP /24 (edge config, D-113, HELD).
- Bootstrap (site-headend-install.sh): --uplink-if/--wan-bridge; --check verifies
the bridge exists + uplink ENSLAVED (fail-open guard, same class as the transit
check); SEC-010 rationale corrected (bridge-in has no inner NAT) + br_netfilter
CONSTRAINT (keep the FORWARD-drop interface-scoped, NEVER global). Harness 49->54.
Records: D-125 (new); D-122 amendment (forward-pointer -- WAN realization
superseded, intent stands); SEC-010 (br_netfilter + hardened --check);
model-a-fallback B->A delta item 8 + revert; platform-traps 1g (bridge +
br_netfilter + nested-foreign-MAC trap).
NOT closed: the L2-NAT-of-foreign-MAC path is a DEPLOY-TIME gate (bridge-in
equivalent of the depth-4 boot gate); fallback = double-NAT. HELD: vr1_dc0_uplink_cidr
+ OPNsense WAN re-address. Both roots validate; gauntlet ALL GREEN (63); repo-lint
0 fail. Present-only; NOT pushed.

D-117 (PROPOSED): VR1 site naming collision blocks the NetBox import
...
Measured live against the apex: prod NetBox binds 2602:f3e2:f02::/48 -> site
VR1 DC0, but dc-dc-prefixes-import.py maps --dc dc1 -> slug vr1-dc1 and treats
f02::/48 as dc1. The addressing agrees; the labels are off by one. Because that
importer has NO --commit (it WRITES BY DEFAULT), running it as documented against
a prod-seeded NetBox would silently bind DC1's prefixes to the other DC's site.
This is the known G5 gap, promoted to a decision because it blocks the import.
Options A/B/C recorded; A (rename the two skeletal apex sites) recommended, with
the slug-collision rename ORDER called out as a trap.
Also records the upstream-NetBox User-Agent WAF trap in platform-traps.md: the
same token that works from curl gets 403 from urllib/requests/pynetbox. It will
bite pynetbox and looks exactly like an auth failure.

Office1 headend LIVE: MAAS 3.7.2 + LXD 5.21 on voffice1. D-114 PROVEN END TO END.
...
MAAS composed, PXE-booted and COMMISSIONED its first VM inside voffice1. The model works.
vcloud (L1 -- itself a KVM guest, measured)
+- voffice1 (L2) MAAS 3.7.2 region+rack + PostgreSQL 16.14 + LXD 5.21.5
+- office1-netbox (L3) LXD VIRTUAL-MACHINE, MAAS-composed, MAAS-PXE-booted,
leased 10.10.1.100 from MAAS, status READY, 2c/4096MiB detected
THE L3 PROOF IS NOW DEFINITIVE. Earlier today we could only say nested KVM was AVAILABLE
(/dev/kvm + svm present). Now a guest has actually BOOTED, PXE'd, COMMISSIONED and reported its
hardware three levels deep. D-114's Office1 gate is CLEARED. This reproduces VR0's `lxd` +
`tailscale` pattern exactly -- and the Juju-created LXD CONTAINERS remain invisible to MAAS, as in VR0.
THE DHCP SPLIT IS STRUCTURAL, NOT CONVENTIONAL:
10.10.0.0/24 (site LAN) -> Kea on the OPNsense edge MAAS dhcp_on=False
10.10.1.0/24 (lxdbr0) -> MAAS MAAS dhcp_on=True
Separate L2s; lxdbr0 is never bridged onto the site LAN, so they cannot see each other. The
installer asserts after configuring DHCP that MAAS owns NO other subnet, and hard-fails otherwise.
NEW: scripts/site-headend-install.sh + tests/site-headend-install/ (18/18 PASS). It is the sequence
we ACTUALLY EXECUTED, codified -- not written from docs -- and reusable verbatim for DC1/DC2. Its
--check mode was run against the live voffice1 and reports every item OK.
FOUR TRAPS, ALL HIT FOR REAL TODAY, ALL NOW ENCODED AND HARNESS-ASSERTED:
1. `lxd init --auto` FAILS on a MAAS host. It brings up lxdbr0 with LXD's own DHCP+DNS, which starts
a dnsmasq; dnsmasq binds the WILDCARD 0.0.0.0:53 and MAAS's bind9 already holds :53. The error
names the BRIDGE address ("failed to create listening socket for 10.10.1.1"), which sends you
hunting the wrong thing. `ipv4.dhcp=false` + `dns.mode=none` are NOT enough -- LXD still spawns
dnsmasq. The fix is raw.dnsmasq="port=0". Verified after: dnsmasq holds ZERO :53 and ZERO :67.
2. `lxc` READS CONFIG FROM STDIN. Piped to `bash -s` over ssh, the first unredirected `lxc` call
EATS THE REST OF THE SCRIPT as YAML and everything after it silently vanishes. Every lxc call now
ends in </dev/null. Same class as the OPNsense tcsh trap.
3. LXD snap track changes are ONE-WAY -- install DIRECTLY onto 5.21/stable, never via `latest`.
MAAS 3.6/3.7 is incompatible with LXD >= 6.7. (Bonus: core.trust_password exists in 5.21, gone in
6.x -- the pin also preserves the scriptable registration path.)
4. MAAS DHCP on the compose network ONLY. --compose-cidr is REQUIRED with no default so it can never
be picked by accident.
DISCIPLINE: every MAAS/LXD flag was read from the tool's own --help ON THE BOX before use (maas init,
createadmin, vm-host compose), not trusted from docs. All secrets (DB, admin, API key, LXD trust) are
generated on the target, stored 0600 under /root/maas-secrets/, and never printed into the session.
10.10.1.0/24 IS AN UNBLESSED ALLOCATION -- chosen deliberately (DC1=10.12.x, DC2=10.13.0.0/19, tenant
pool=10.20.0.0/16 per D-016; the obvious 10.20.x would have COLLIDED with tenant space), but NetBox
has not assigned it. Register once NetBox exists -- it is one of the VMs this headend composes.
Also: the ops skill is now tuned to this exact stack (new references/platform-traps.md with a
verbatim-error -> cause index; the OPNsense section that still routed sessions into the DELETED
config-ISO path is replaced). Upstream corroboration found for two of our own findings: the libvirt
provider's release notes document that an "in-place" domain update undefines and re-defines the
domain (our measured guest-bounce), and there is an upstream issue for the AppArmor denial.
Gauntlet ALL GREEN (53 harnesses). repo-lint 0 fail.
