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.
