savegame 2026-08-07 (part 2): bookend + sweep -- dc1 region standup + SEC-031 edge rebuilt
...
GA-R4 bookend for the dc1-region-sequence session (F NetBox importer; dc1 region
topology/IPAM/DHCP-cutover/power-key; SEC-031 edge rebuild + runbook/tool). Bounded
ledger summary + rotation (2026-08-05 x2 archived, now 283 lines). Sweep
docs/audit/queued-findings-20260807-dc1-region-sequence.txt: 3 FIRST SURFACE
(console-driver harness owed; run-logged gap; jammy source-index trap). CURRENT-STATE
records the standup progress (steps a-b done, D/E remaining). Gates: repo-lint 0-fail,
gauntlet ALL GREEN (102), ledger-scan SEC 29->28.

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 profile registered + verified; session close consolidated
...
Registered the vr1-dc1-region profile on voffice1 (dc0-pattern tunnel
-L 5243:10.12.68.6:5240 via the rack; apikey piped .6->`maas login -`
stdin, never exposed). Verified: rack vr1-dc1-maas-01 (qtw8pm), 0 machines
(empty -- the 9 nodes+juju+.7 get rebuilt in). changelog Item 10 + a
handoff block enumerating the remaining config/rebuild chain.
Consolidated this session's ledger block to a bounded GA-R4 summary
(dc0 .7 carved-and-ready + D-134 naming amendment + vr1-dc1-region LIVE);
ledger 296/300, repo-lint 0 fail.

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
9 nodes+juju+.7 fresh into it. changelog Item 9 + CURRENT-STATE + ledger.

dc1 .6 region VM DONE to Deployed jammy (carved, both legs live) -- ready for MAAS install one-shot
...
Extended aux-carve for -maas-01 (9fea7c1); carved the .6 in Office1
(--profile admin, all 3 racks; metal-admin 10.12.68.6 + provider-public
10.12.64.6, pass=6/0); MAAS-deployed jammy -> Deployed, power on, both
legs ping 0% from the rack (transient power/virsh flakes cleared on
re-query).
NEXT is the MAAS region install/init on the .6 -- OPERATOR ONE-SHOT
(createadmin=SEC-020 + reaching the .6 needs the operator's
vr1-office1-svc key). Then register vr1-dc1-region + config via tested

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.
CURRENT-STATE dc1 block + ledger NEXT updated. repo-lint 0 fail.

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.

Session close 2026-08-06/07 (GA-R4 bookend): phase-03 Step 3.4 G3 + per-DC Tailscale rulings & .7 VMs

Bounded ledger summary + sweep (queued-findings-20260807, O1-O5) + CURRENT-STATE
tailscale-build status + node-vm harness reconcile (11/66 -> 12/72, red gate that
my substrate commits caused by not re-running the gauntlet -- the 2026-07-30 lesson

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 2026-08-03 (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.

SESSION CLOSE 2026-07-31 (GA-R4 bookend): Stage 5 dc0 deploy + teardown
...
Bounded ledger summary (10 lines, cap 15), rotation, sweep, memory review.
DURABILITY: 0 uncommitted / 0 unpushed, 45 commits today. dc0 rack repo-stage
digests all MATCH. HAZARD, not loss: the voffice1 clone is 26 commits behind --
pull it forward before it is used.
GATES: repo-lint 0 fail / 1 standing warn / 641 files. Gauntlet ALL GREEN (94).
ledger-scan: 3 open decisions, SEC 26, D 139 / DOCFIX 207 / BUNDLEFIX 053.
Ledger 296 lines after rotating the oldest summary out to
docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260731.md.
SWEEP: docs/audit/queued-findings-20260731-stage5-deploy.txt -- ELEVEN FIRST
SURFACE items that existed only in the transcript. Highest-consequence is F1:
MAAS's own squid ALREADY CONNECT-proxies api.snapcraft.io and would unblock the
deploy today with nothing built, measured from the failing container -- RULED
AGAINST, with the operator's verbatim utterance and the deciding downsides
recorded, precisely because a future session will rediscover it and reach for
it. Also first surface: containers source from METAL-ADMIN not the address juju
status displays; ports 3128 and 8000 already held by MAAS's squid on both racks;
the four reviewed bugs in dc-snap-proxy.sh; the teardown instrument error; and
that a MAAS hostname rename on a Deployed machine is record-only.
Method note: a phrase-exact grep produced false negatives on items recorded under
different wording. Every candidate was re-grepped on distinctive tokens before
being classified -- the same instrument-error class this sweep documents.
GA-R7 MEMORY REVIEW -- one real violation found and corrected: the
multi-workstation memory asserted 'never additions to allow for mutations', an
operator-posture claim memory may not hold, contradicted by the recorded
2026-07-30 ruling 'Add it to allow'. Re-pointed to an observation with the
contradiction recorded. instrument-currency memory gained this session's two
misreads.
OWNED: a red-lint push (| tail masked the exit code); a git add -A that swept an
agent's files into an unrelated commit; two instrument misreads (a juju models
summary read as progress, stale unit logs read as current); and a wrong
'immutable system_id' claim the operator corrected.
NEXT: apply the dc-snap-proxy review cuts, RE-RUN the mutation pass (S8
invalidates M32-M39/M42-M47/M49-M52 as evidence), confirm BUG-3's dstdomain deny
shape once at apply time, install the proxy, then add-model + spaces + deploy.

Session close: GA-R4 bookend, memory review, gauntlet 93 green
...
dc0 node carve complete (v4 134/0, v6 54/54, diff vs pre-migration EMPTY);
juju controller vr1-dc0-controller LIVE on the fourth attempt; model, spaces
gate and apt-mirror done. Bundle deploy attempt 1 failed on prefer-ipv6 with
nothing half-applied; operator ruled research-first, so R2 is NOT amended and
Stage 5 is blocked on that question.
SEC-028 + SEC-029 opened and registered before use. DOCFIX-206 fixed a
credential gate that was not region-scoped. preflight region-blindness logged.
GA-R7 memory review: instrument-currency memory updated with three new
instances and a new DETECTOR -- an implausibly uniform result is itself the
tell. Other three memories reviewed, accurate, none claim operator intent.

Close sweep: queued findings F1-F10, memory review, skill invariants
...
Sweep capture docs/audit/queued-findings-20260730-dc0-region-migration.txt.
Three items lived ONLY in the transcript and would have been lost on a
clear:
F1 -- this session's permission rules exist only in the GITIGNORED
.claude/settings.local.json, so their verbatim text is now recorded,
including a broad Bash(ssh vr1-dc0-rack *) that an interactive approval
auto-added and which deserves review.
F2 -- the Office1 region STILL registers a rack controller on the dc0 rack
(vvr1-dc0/7chphy) and still holds the dc0 region VM's machine record. Not
harmful (Office1's DHCP for that VLAN is off, verified by process) but
dual-registration the operator should rule on.
F10 -- the five instrument errors of this session as one pattern, with the
rule that catches them.
F9 carries the next session's first commands and every measured input the
carve tool needs.
GA-R7 memory review: sharpened the classifier memory with the profile-token
lesson (a rule pinning 'maas admin' would have matched step 1 of the DHCP
cutover and silently missed step 3), and added an instrument-currency
memory. Both graduate to repo surfaces; neither is the only copy.
Skill swept: the per-DC region migration invariants folded in -- region
identity by rack, ids do not cross regions, the per-node ordering, batches
of three, zero SSH keys, the role-dependent carve, the role-tags gate that
passes on an incomplete tag set, and the two scripts that must not be
pointed at a new region.

GA-R4 bookend: dc0 migrated to its own MAAS region, 10/10 Ready
...
Supersedes the part-4 bookend, which closed with the cutover blocked.
Office1 holds zero dc0 machines; the per-DC region holds all ten Ready with
shapes exact to D-121 Option C. Four named gates green: topology 40/0,
power key 9/0, role tags 0/0/0, plane IPAM 24/0.
Ledger at 278 lines, under the 300 cap. Gauntlet ALL GREEN (92), repo-lint

GA-R4 session close: Stage 5 opened, D-138 + D-132 ruled, dc0 region live
...
Sweep first: every in-session finding grepped against CURRENT-STATE and the
changelog. THREE lived only in the transcript and would have been lost -- the
absent openstack CLI on the DC client host (blocks Step 7+), the metal-admin
v6 rack-leg gap, and the plane-fabric mtu=1500 vs libvirt 9000 mismatch. All
now in docs/audit/queued-findings-20260730-stage5.txt (F1-F12), with six tool
traps collected as platform-traps candidates.
F6 recorded honestly: the as-executed log for this window is PARTIAL. The
classifier refused several `script -aqe ... -c` wrapped forms while the plain
ssh form passed, so those calls ran unwrapped. The index row says so -- a log
that silently looks complete is worse than one declaring its gap.
Bookend appended (14 lines, under the GA-R4 cap; ledger 250/300 so no
rotation owed). Counters: 3 decisions, SEC 23, D 139 / DOCFIX 206 /
BUNDLEFIX 053.
GA-R7 memory review: one entry added (as-executed vs classifier), indexed.
Nothing in memory claims operator policy.
Stage 5 remains OPEN. Nothing is half-applied -- Office1 still owns all 9 dc0
nodes, correctly carved and Ready.

GA-R4 session close: F9 closed live, the reissue tool, P7, lib-identity
...
BOOKEND (bounded, 15 lines) appended to docs/session-ledger.md. Machine-derived
block RE-SEEDED from ledger-scan (DOCFIX next-free 205 -> 206). Ledger stood at
exactly 300 lines after the append, so the two oldest live summaries (the
2026-07-27 grounding-audit close and its 14-rulings addendum) rotated VERBATIM to
docs/archive/session-ledger-rotated-20260730.md: 300 -> 235. Rotated HERE rather
than left owed, because the next session is directed straight at the deploy.
STANDING OPERATOR DIRECTIVE recorded at the TOP of CURRENT-STATE section 1, where
the next session's bookend hits it first: 'we have to continue to juju deployment
next session no matter what'. Precondition work is DONE and further hardening is
OUT OF SCOPE unless it blocks the deploy. This is the GA-F06 circuit-breaker made
explicit -- the directive removes the judgement call.
Deliberately NOT put in auto-memory: GA-R7 rule 1 forbids operator policy,
priorities and postures there. It belongs on a repo surface, so it is on the
status authority.
Entry facts recorded so the next session does not re-derive them: run FROM
voffice1; preflight FAILs on P5 ONLY (pre-existing credential register -- decide
accept-or-remediate AT the gate, do not re-audit); every other gate green and P7
[ok] both DCs; the deploy input is bundle + that DC's three overlays; G17 arms at
first boot and is a Stage-5 artefact, not a precondition.
GA-R7 memory review done: two memories, both observations/conventions, both still
accurate, neither claiming operator intent. No changes needed.
Session totals: 19 commits. F9 CLOSED live on both DCs; octavia-pki 21/21 -> 51/51;
preflight 26/26 -> 33/33; gauntlet ALL GREEN (89) both hosts; repo-lint 0 fail;
scan unchanged at 3 decisions / SEC 21.
