IPv6 PROVEN WORKING on the dc0 node planes -- and already load-bearing
...
Live experiment, operator-approved: two storage nodes MAAS-deployed (jammy) to
open a boot window, issued individually. Region asserted first (vr1-dc0-region ->
one rack controller hot-kid; admin -> the three Office1 racks); maas-profile-
assert.sh is MISSING on voffice1, so the property was asserted inline not skipped.
A1 ADDRESSES COME UP -- PASS. Six global v6 addresses live on the NICs, matching
MAAS exactly, 0 tentative / 0 dadfailed, on-link /64 routes, no v6 default
(expected). Asserted on the INTERFACE, never on MAAS -- 54 carved statics were
never evidence any existed on a NIC, and this is the first check on a ROLE NODE.
A2 THE PLANE CARRIES v6 -- PASS on all six planes, 0% loss, every neighbour
REACHABLE. THE RISK I FLAGGED IS REFUTED FOR THIS PATH: every plane bridge is
multicast_snooping=1 / querier=0, a known ND failure mode, and the neighbour
table was COLD, so the first solicitation went out as MULTICAST and resolved on
all six. HONEST RESIDUAL: proves ND from cold, not behaviour across long idle
periods where snooping entries age out.
A3 G17's ROLE-NODE HALF CAPTURED -- PASS. Open since 2026-07-30 (that capture was
taken on the CONTROLLER VM and said so). Mirror real package path: exit 0, HTTP
200, 269219 bytes, all four body fields. AND the 2026-07-31 deploy blocker is
confirmed fixed FROM A REAL NODE -- all four suites 200, jammy-backports included,
where it was 404 and put 22 units into hook failed: "install".
A4 HEADLINE, and it inverts this repo's framing: THE NODE'S TIME SOURCE IS ALREADY
IPv6. ServerName fd50:840e:74e2:220::6, ServerAddress family 10 = AF_INET6,
Stratum 3, root distance 57.327ms, poll backed off to 2min8s, ntp.ubuntu.com
unused as fallback. G17 assertion (2) passes, and separately IPv6 is not a future
state here -- it is a live operational dependency predating all this work.
F7 CLOSED IN PASSING: "still unverified that a redeploy applies the new hostname"
-- it does; both report their ruled names from `hostname` on the running OS.
SCOPE: these are ULA addresses, the PRE-D-139 carve, superseded by design. The
PROPERTY tested is family-agnostic and transfers. Nothing here tests a charm, a
container, network-get or Ceph -- those remain the untested rungs.
Nodes deliberately left Deployed so the G19 gate can run against a LIVE node
rather than ship fixture-green. Release owed. repo-lint 0 fail.

RULED "B plus C": D-139 ruling A narrowed to an experiment + upstream fix
...
Operator, exact utterance: "B plus C". Ruling B's GUA carve is unaffected and
proceeds; ruling A's five-plane v6-only scope narrows to a bounded experiment;
metal-internal, data-tenant and lb-mgmt stay DUAL-STACK pending upstream fixes.
That last sentence is recorded as an INTERPRETATION, not as the utterance.
>>> I SCOPED THE EXPERIMENT WRONG AND THIS CORRECTS IT. <<<
MEASURED against shipped ceph-osd rev 953, ceph_hooks.py:544-553: prefer-ipv6 is
ONE switch that sets ms_bind_ipv4 = False GLOBALLY, so it governs Ceph's PUBLIC
network (storage) and CLUSTER network (replication) TOGETHER. There is no state
in which Ceph runs cluster on v6 and public on v4. I recommended "replication
alone, smallest blast radius" -- not achievable. The experiment is storage +
replication as a PAIR, with a larger blast radius than I represented.
A PATH THE EARLIER ANALYSIS MISSED: the buggy bare get_ipv6_addr() (LP #2061836,
dynamic/SLAAC-only, never fixed on ceph-osd, while our nodes hold MAAS statics) is
reached ONLY under `if not public_network:` / `if not cluster_network:`. Setting
ceph-public-network and ceph-cluster-network to the v6 CIDRs means it is never
used for address selection -- the defect becomes AVOIDABLE BY CONFIG. This is a
CODE READING, NOT A MEASUREMENT, and it does not address the get_mon_hosts()/
get_host_ip race (LP #2109798).
REVIEW PASS on netbox/d139-gua-carve.py (independent second agent, per operator
standing instruction). 4 real defects fixed, 4 reported, 1 charter miss upheld.
D1 is the mandate's own named class "a refusal that does not refuse": an
unreachable apex gave a raw traceback and EXIT 1 -- the tool's own header defines
exit 1 as a write error -- on a dry run that wrote nothing. _req caught only
HTTPError so URLError walked past the REFUSE handler. Fixed, REFUSE(2).
D2: a comment asserted ruling B was "FLAGGED" -- already false at commit time.
Replaced with a citation; prose in a script rots against governance state, a
citation cannot. D3/D4: two greps over the tool's OWN SOURCE and two vacuous
negatives replaced with behavioural coverage.
main() decomposition DECLINED on a reusable argument: the `if not a.commit:
return 0` guard is ADJACENT to the write block, and extracting commit_writes()
would split that safety proof in two. Line count is not the criterion.
R1 IS A REAL SECURITY FINDING, MEASURED: urllib carries the Authorization header
across a CROSS-HOST redirect (loopback probe -- the target received the token
verbatim). SANDBOX_HOSTS gates the supplied url, not a redirect from it. LOW
severity, logged not executed.
Harness 65/65 -> 71/71; all 5 original mutations RE-RUN and still standing, plus
3 new; gauntlet ALL GREEN (95); dry-run body diffed BYTE-FOR-BYTE identical to the
committed capture; apex 139 prefixes before and after. QUALIFIED: a dry run
executes zero POSTs, so D1's change to the WRITE path's failure semantics is
UNTESTED and is declared, not implied.
PROCESS FAILURE REPEATED AND OWNED: the review mandate required a docs/audit/
capture and forbade touching CURRENT-STATE.md -- jointly unsatisfiable against
L10. The agent correctly left the tree RED and said so rather than working around
it. Standing fix, now twice learned: an agent mandate must name a repo path for
findings AND leave the committer able to satisfy L10.

D-139 ruling A NOT achievable at these charm revisions; apex carve tool built
...
TWO agent results, both recorded; nothing actioned, nothing pushed to NetBox.
>>> RULING A (v6-only on five planes) IS BLOCKED BY UPSTREAM CHARM DEFECTS <<<
RULING B (full GUA) IS ORTHOGONAL AND STANDS -- GUA-vs-ULA is independent of
whether a plane keeps v4, so the carve tool is unaffected and a GUA DUAL-STACK
carve is achievable today. This needs an operator ruling.
RE-VERIFIED INDEPENDENTLY against the shipped ceph-osd rev 953 artifact, because
it decides the ruling. hooks/utils.py:203-217 get_host_ip() returns
get_ipv6_addr()[0] when prefer-ipv6 is set, else socket.inet_aton(hostname) and
on failure dns.resolver.query(hostname, 'A') -- an IPv4-ONLY lookup -- under the
charm's OWN comment "...just let it kill the hook". So ceph-osd fails on a
v6-only plane in BOTH directions: false -> inet_aton raises on a v6 literal then
NXDOMAINs an IN A lookup (LP #2109798, New); true -> bare get_ipv6_addr() (also
ceph_hooks.py:547, WITHOUT dynamic_only=False) returns DYNAMIC/SLAAC only while
every VR1 node holds a MAAS STATIC v6 (LP #2061836 -- Fix Committed on ceph-mon,
New and never fixed on ceph-osd, confirmed absent from rev 953).
Reported from the capture and NOT re-verified here, recorded as such: mysql /
mysql-router bare user:pw@addr URIs invalid for an unbracketed v6 literal;
hacluster 2.4/stable rev 166 (released 2026-06-29) still hard-writes
ip_version: ipv4 though LP #2111852 is Fix Committed -- FIX COMMITTED IS NOT FIX
RELEASED; OVN documenting encap as "The IPv4 address of the encapsulation tunnel
endpoint" with zero v6 encap values in OVN 24.03's test suite.
Counted locally: metal-internal appears 273 times in bundle.yaml across ~44 apps;
rabbitmq-server is DEPLOYED by the bundle but ABSENT from PREFER_IPV6_CHARMS --
the only mismatch across all 33 bundle pairs, where invariant 9a would emit a
factually false message.
APEX CARVE TOOL (netbox/d139-gua-carve.py, 232 lines) + tests/d139-gua-carve
(65 cases, offline stub apex); manifest 94->95. Live dry run: CREATE 22 |
EXISTS 6 untouched | RETIRE-REPORT 18, and it surfaced 52 DEPENDENT ip-addresses
inside the retiring ULA /64s that a later delete would orphan. Proof no write
occurred: apex prefix count 139 before and after. 5 mutations, each turning a
NAMED test red, tool restored sha256-identical.
OWED: (a) the foundational measurement is STILL not taken -- does network-get
return v6 on a v6-only bound space? (b) D-139's "remove v4 LAST, after each is
proven" is UNSATISFIABLE as written; per-plane conversion is atomic.
(c) the rabbitmq-server mismatch.
PROCESS FAILURE, OWNED: the research was written to /tmp and would have been LOST
-- I scoped the agent read-only and gave it no repo path. Rescued, sha256-verified.
STANDING CONSEQUENCE: every agent mandate must NAME A REPO PATH for its findings;
"read-only" constrains what it may CHANGE, not where it may RECORD.

The "juju client blocker" is NOT one -- it is D-138 working correctly
...
CORRECTS this repo's own 2026-07-31 finding 9d, which called it a blocker.
Stage 5 can reach `add-model` TODAY, from the dc0 rack. No key movement needed.
VERIFIED INDEPENDENTLY from the main session, not accepted on the agent's word:
juju 3.6.27-genericlinux-amd64 at /snap/bin/juju on the rack; controller
vr1-dc0-controller* admin/superuser on cloud vr1-maas; the controller model reads
"Last connection: just now"; client credentials list EXACTLY ONE entry,
vr1-maas -> vr1-dc0-cred.
ROOT CAUSE OF THE ssh REFUSAL, MEASURED ON THE MACHINE: the alias is correct in
every part -- hop chain, host, port, per-hop identity, host key. subtle-grouse's
authorized_keys holds exactly two lines, both Juju's, so the office1_svc key the
alias offers is genuinely absent and the refusal is right. The obvious hypothesis
was REFUTED rather than assumed: the machine booted AFTER the 2026-07-30 key
import and still got only Juju keys, because deploy-time cloud-config carries
Juju:juju-client-key alone. `juju ssh -m controller 0` already works.
SEC-026 control (1) DISCHARGED BY MEASUREMENT on both sides -- rack lists one
credential, voffice1 lists two, so the forbidden whole-store copy did not happen.
No new credential residency; no new security-ledger row owed.
ONLY HYGIENE OWED, NOT EXECUTED (hard rule 3): a dangling current-model pointing
at the model destroyed 2026-07-31 makes bare `juju status` error. Measured NOT to
be an add-model precondition.
FOUR GAPS LOGGED NOT FIXED, in consequence order:
G4 the `openstack` CLI is MISSING ON THE RACK -- D-138 definition-of-done gap
blocking phase-03+. SAME item as F1 from the 2026-07-30 sweep, now confirmed
on the D-138 host. It has survived two sweeps.
G3 preflight CANNOT PASS on vcloud by construction: the octavia-pki overlay is
gitignored PKI material absent from the vcloud tree, and
pre-flight-checks.sh:161 hard-fails on it. The host-dependence class again.
G2 the D-138 client host's deploy input has NO PROVENANCE -- ~/repo-stage on the
rack is a hand-staged 9-file copy with no .git (8/9 byte-identical by sha256).
A third copy beside the two clones verified at c58bf95.
G1 phase-4 runbook :379,398 still say "voffice1" for add-model/spaces, stale vs
D-138; voffice1 has the binary but no registered controller, so the runbook as
written fails. DOCFIX owed.
DECLARED UNMEASURED with the reason: whether MAAS user juju-vr1-dc0 has an
imported ssh key -- no usable maas CLI profile exists anywhere (voffice1's
~/.maascli.db is ZERO BYTES). Does not change the fix; the proximate cause was
measured directly. The PreToolUse guard refused a command that would print the
MAAS API key (DOCFIX-016) and it was NOT retried in an altered shape.
Staged by explicit path; agent files still in flight are deliberately excluded.
repo-lint 0 fail.

D-139 ruling B RECONSIDERED and CONFIRMED; refuted rationale STRUCK in place
...
Operator, exact utterance: "Deciding to hold to gua does not cost anything
operationally and the case for ULA over gua is not very strong. Let's stay with
gua". Recorded as RULING NOTE 2026-08-01 -- D-139.
RULED: ruling B STANDS, unchanged in substance. The GUA carve table is confirmed,
the ULA /48 stays RETIRED for VR1, the D-101/D-111 amendments hold, and Phase-2
execution of D-139 is UNBLOCKED.
WHAT CHANGED IS THE RATIONALE OF RECORD. The RFC 6724 precedence argument is
STRUCK IN PLACE in D-139 -- quoted, with the measurement that kills it and a
pointer to the capture, marked DO NOT CITE IT. Struck rather than deleted on
purpose: deleting it would leave a future session free to re-derive an argument
that has already been considered and refuted. The block also warns against the
near-miss rescue -- glibc 2.35 DOES carry fc00::/7 in default_labels[] (label 6),
which drives SOURCE-selection rules 5/6, a different mechanism from destination
precedence; finding it does not resurrect the struck claim.
Ruling B now rests on two project-constraint arguments -- conformance (Willamette
and VR0 DC0 are already full GUA; VR1 was the outlier) and MINIMIZE DELTA TO
ROOSEVELT -- plus the operator's recorded reasoning that GUA costs nothing
operationally. MADE EXPLICIT because it was not visible before: on glibc 2.35 GUA
buys NO address-selection advantage on the two dual-stack planes; ULA would have
won equally at 40. Anyone later reasoning "GUA was chosen so v6 would beat v4" is
reasoning from the struck argument.
NEW STANDING RULE, recorded on D-139 because it generalises: the repo's citation
rule (open it, check STATUS and DATES) was FOLLOWED here and was NOT ENOUGH. The
citation was real, current, correctly quoted and correctly understood, and still
wrong, because nobody checked whether the IMPLEMENTATION follows the standard.
For a STANDARDS citation, add a third check -- confirm the deployed software
implements it, at the deployed version. An RFC is not a description of your system.
Staged by explicit path; an agent's in-flight files (netbox/d139-gua-carve.py,
tests/d139-gua-carve/, docs/audit/d139-carve-dryrun-20260801.txt) are deliberately
NOT included. repo-lint 0 fail.

D-139 ruling B's deciding reason REFUTED by measurement; ruling FLAGGED
...
Closing the unverified premise D-139 named at ruling time inverted its own
argument. Recorded, flagged for operator reconsideration, NOT amended.
MEASURED, two steps:
1. jammy libc-bin 2.35-0ubuntu3 ships /etc/gai.conf with ZERO active lines --
every line commented. The node image applies NO override, so glibc's
compiled-in table governs.
2. glibc 2.35 default_precedence[], fetched in full from sourceware at tag
glibc-2.35 and read rather than recalled, carries glibc's OWN comment
"See RFC 3484 for the details" and is:
::1/128 50 | 2002::/16 30 | ::/96 20 | ::ffff:0:0/96 10 | ::/0 40
THERE IS NO fc00::/7 ENTRY IN THE PRECEDENCE TABLE.
CONSEQUENCE: ULA falls through to ::/0 = 40, identical to GUA; IPv4-mapped is
10. So on the node image ULA = GUA = 40 and BOTH outrank IPv4. Ruling B was
declared on "ULA loses to IPv4 (3 vs 35), GUA wins (40 vs 35)" -- the RFC 6724
table. RFC 6724 obsoletes RFC 3484 and does define those values, but glibc 2.35
DOES NOT IMPLEMENT IT. Right about the RFC, wrong about the software this cloud
runs. The fc00::/7 entry that does exist is in default_labels[] (label 6), which
drives SOURCE selection rules 5/6 -- a different mechanism, recorded so the two
are not later conflated into "the argument stands after all".
A NEW VARIANT OF THE CITATION CLASS, worth naming: the citation was real,
current and correctly quoted, and still wrong here because nobody checked
whether the IMPLEMENTATION follows the RFC. Checking a source's status and dates
is not sufficient for a standards citation.
SURVIVING REASONS (independent of the refuted one): conformance with Willamette
(a real site) and VR0 DC0, both full GUA; and MINIMIZE DELTA TO ROOSEVELT, whose
2602:f3e2:103::/48 is GUA with no ULA and no plane carve yet. The ruling may well
stand on these -- but under GA-R5 that is the operator's call, since they
answered a question whose stated deciding reason no longer holds.
D-139's text is UNCHANGED. Nothing of D-139 is executed, so nothing is half-built
in either direction. repo-lint 0 fail.

D-139 ADOPTED: VR1 goes IPv6-only east-west, whole carve moves to GUA
...
TWO GA-R5 rulings, taken in SEPARATE exchanges, recorded separately.
A -- family matrix. Operator: "IPv6 on all planes except for metal-admin and
provider-public which will remain dual stack". metal-internal, data-tenant,
storage, replication and lb-mgmt become IPv6-ONLY. Amends D-101's matrix twice:
metal-internal's "datastore east-west stays v4-bound" is superseded, and lb-mgmt
(ruled v6-only by D-101 but NEVER carved anywhere) becomes a first-class plane.
B -- addressing model. Operator: "Full GUA on every plane (Recommended)". Every
plane carves from its DC's GUA /48 on the :10/:11/:20/:21/:30/:40/:50/:80 octet
map VR0 DC0 and the Willamette site ALREADY use -- conforming to an existing org
standard, not inventing one. The ULA /48 fd50:840e:74e2::/48 is RETIRED for VR1.
Amends D-101 and D-111. Deciding reason is measurable: RFC 6724 ranks IPv4-mapped
at precedence 35 and ULA at 3 while GUA falls under ::/0 at 40, so on a dual-stack
plane a ULA leg LOSES address selection to IPv4 and is decorative. SEC-010, D-052,
D-125 and D-107 unchanged -- containment lives at the forwarding layer.
THE RECORDED ROOT CAUSE OF THE v4-ONLY CONTAINERS WAS WRONG AND THIS REPO CARRIED
IT (GA-R1 C2 -- measurement corrects the document). CURRENT-STATE said MAAS "has
nothing to give for v6". Measured, and re-verified independently: subnet
statistics on fd50:840e:74e2:220::/64 returns available_string "100%",
num_available 18446744069414584320. Zero ipranges rows means zero RESTRICTIONS,
not zero availability. dc-plane-ipam.sh:368-372 has carried the correct behaviour
since 2026-07-27, in the tree, contradicting the authoritative doc the whole time.
The real mechanism is juju-side and there is NO knob: EthernetDeviceForBridge
(tag v3.6.27) takes addrs[0] from an UNSORTED query and derives one CIDR -> one
LinkSubnetArgs. gomaasapi documents "Any number of STATIC links can exist on an
interface", so MAAS would accept both families; the limit is juju's. LP #1723240
is this exact symptom, Triaged/Low since 2017, and the theory this repo recorded
is the one its reporter rebutted in-thread. Consequence: on a container plane
DUAL-STACK IS NOT EXPRESSIBLE while v6-only IS -- ruling A is the achievable
configuration, not merely the desired one.
SNAP PROXY: dc0 INSTALLED, RUNNING, check dc0 PASS exit 0 (16 assertions,
re-verified independently). A REAL SNAP PAYLOAD WAS FETCHED THROUGH IT -- HTTP 206,
first bytes hsqs. No longer fixture-green. BUG-3 confirmed by measurement, no
assertion changed. BUG-4 fixed at BOTH sites (the review named one); T20b/T41b NEW.
OWNED: my BUG-1 fix was WRONG. ip route get 10.12.8.4 -> src 10.12.8.2; .4 is a
SECONDARY and Linux never auto-selects a secondary as a source, so the rule is
still dead. Not fixed now -- editing the generator turns the LIVE gate red until
install re-runs. T23b annotated so nobody "fixes" the test to a wrong value.
Generalisable: any ACL keyed to a service ALIAS (the whole D-134 utility .4 band)
misses that host's own traffic -- same exposure in dc-mirror.sh, dc-cache-proxy.sh.
OWED, unverified: the deployed jammy /etc/gai.conf, which can override the RFC 6724
default table that ruling B rests on. Nothing of D-139 is executed.
repo-lint 0 fail; tests/dc-snap-proxy 55/55; 4 mutations killed.
