Owner adding calternal-dev (10.69.69.119, rootless, NetBird SSH) on production (492e1505a), 2026-10-16:

  1. 07:58:54 CEST attempt: install OK, agent started, server unavailable (PermissionDenied) because NetBird ACL blocked calternal-dev → monitor01 TCP 7443 (SYNs seen arriving on monitor01 wt0, never answered). Server timed out at step "facts", failure_kind "setup"; the service was stopped at 07:59:25.
  2. That failed attempt left ~/.local/share/infraternal.bootstrap-rollback-a38bf5f448c04373a8ea523d623cff48 (and infraternal/.bootstrap-owner, infraternal.bootstrap-cache). Its cleanup never finished.
  3. After the owner opened TCP 7443, every Retry fails at once: step "install", failure_kind "channel", exit_status 72 (06:07:43Z and 06:07:47Z). install.rs STAGE_TRANSACTION refuses any new transaction while a $base.bootstrap-rollback-* receipt exists ("Admit no replacement until its receipt is removed after successful cleanup"). Nothing ever removes it, so the host can never be added again. The UI shows "The remote bootstrap command failed … The SSH command channel failed", which names the wrong cause.
    Expected: a retry from the same server for the same host finishes (or adopts) the earlier transaction's cleanup and proceeds; the message names the real cause. The owner's host stays as is as the acceptance test (never cleaned by hand).

Starting #230 on branch addhost-retry, base f210a4f250 (origin/release-prod-live). Read issue body and all comments (none); no parent is linked. Tracing timeout rollback, stale receipts and script-exit classification. calternal-dev and owner fixtures will not be touched. Reproduction and timing will use only the named perf VM with its lock.

Confirmed on the production shell: a stale sessions/plugins.sock causes original rollback to exit 72 and leaves its receipt; the earlier-attempt inspector also refuses that socket (75), so its separate recovery path cannot help. Added two regression cases before the fix: previous_attempt_shell.py reports 18 tests, 2 failures (72 != 0; 75 != 0). remote_client.rs creates plugin_control::Service before dialing the server; plugin_control.rs removes the socket in Drop, which a normal service SIGTERM does not run. finish_fresh in install.rs only rmdir's runtime directories, so the socket prevents final retirement after the transaction directory has already gone.

Fix boundary: retain the existing host/transaction/inode receipt and private-parent locking. Retire only the fixed, owned 0600 socket after proving it has no kernel socket row; preserve live listeners, links, unknown files and other host transactions. Same-batch Retry already retains exact cleanup coordinates; it will finish that original cleanup before issuing a new invitation. Unattributed older state remains behind the existing explicit start-fresh check rather than being silently adopted by a different server.

Additive contract note for #230 before implementation: fresh rollback may retire the daemon's fixed sessions/plugins.sock, in addition to empty runtime directories, only with the original exact transaction coordinates or the existing start-fresh confirmation. Require private owned directories, an owned non-linked 0600 socket, and no kernel socket row (bound, listening or accepted). Preserve the existing explicit confirmation for unattributed earlier transactions; no new host/server adoption is authorized. Same-batch Retry emits “An earlier setup on this host did not finish; finishing it now.” and actually re-runs that original rollback before enrollment. Script status diagnostics classify as setup rather than channel; failed channel operations without a command status keep channel classification. No new protocol or dependency.

Additional concurrency finding: Installation::rollback invokes retire_setup_lease before ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION verifies the host/transaction journal. A losing installer can therefore stop the winning installer's 180-second lease before failing its transaction check. Added an assertion that the winning lease's /proc//fd/7 still points to its stage after the loser's cleanup refusal. Move lease retirement behind exact transaction validation, retaining parent-directory serialization. This is part of #230's two-concurrent-attempt safety requirement.

Before-fix shell regression receipt: before-shell.log. 20 real-filesystem shell tests, 4 expected regression failures: stale control socket original rollback (72), stale control socket inspection (75), live control socket code (72 instead of 73), socket-link refusal code (72 instead of 71). Existing 16 checks pass. Native builds are running through the build slot wrapper; VM timeout/retry and before/after happy-path runs follow once the baseline artifacts are ready.

Focused proof before the full gates: compiled the regression tests directly against the original SSH crate artifact while Cargo's baseline build held its directory lock. Stale control cleanup: 2 failures, exit 72; concurrent loser removes winner lease; script status wrongly classified as channel.

After compiling the current SSH crate against the same dependencies: 54 installation tests PASS, 11 diagnostic tests PASS. 21 real shell checks PASS, including an unrelated live control socket in a different root. This is functional evidence, not performance evidence or a substitute for the Cargo gates. The static production baseline build is running for VM timeout/retry, happy-path measurements and the size comparison.

Refinement from real lifecycle source review: plugin_control::Local::bind creates its socket with UnixListener::bind and no chmod; the unit in install.rs does not set UMask. Unlike shim sockets, this fixed socket inherits the service manager's umask (e.g. 0700/0755), so requiring socket mode 0600 would leave real failures blocked. The new regression covering modes 0600, 0700, 0755 and 0775 failed at 0700 before the adjustment. Require the actual owned 0700 parent, an owned non-linked socket with one link, exact transaction/inode receipt and no live kernel row; do not treat socket mode as ownership authority. Shim UUID sockets keep their existing 0600 check. This revises the job's earlier proposed 0600 control-socket requirement, not an owner decision.

Resume checkpoint while the static baseline compiles: branch addhost-retry still has base f210a4f250; no commits or deploy yet. Candidate source patch records the full candidate, including cleanup, safe legacy inspection, diagnostics, real-VM harness and contract notes. It is not the final gated result. The worktree currently contains the first cleanup slice; the other candidate files are checkpointed under /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/addhost-retry/snapshots/. Inherited socket-mode regression before adjustment.

Baseline build: evidence/baseline-static.sh under that scratch root, running through build-slot against an archive of the exact production base, with one shared Cargo target. Next: finish baseline, run VM timeout→unblock→retry and happy-path baseline, gate/commit each logical slice, measure candidate happy path and static size delta, then scripts/verify iterate and final scripts/verify fast. Only the named perf VM is used; calternal-dev is untouched.

Completed and pushed cleanup slice: 82bcaeee9c. Original rollback now retires only the stopped fixed control socket under its existing receipt, including inherited 0600/0700/0755/0775 modes. It validates transaction ownership before retiring a setup lease, preserving a competing attempt's lease. Unknown files, links, live sockets and foreign host ids remain refused.

Completed and pushed earlier-receipt inspection: 3ac68e3df. Older fresh receipts with a stale control socket now pass the existing explicit recovery check, including actual service-manager socket modes. Canonical home paths detect liveness; a fixed basename in another root no longer causes false refusal. Original host/transaction/inode and full inventory checks remain required; no enrolled identity is adopted.

New Rust regression failed first with exit 71: before. Normal gate exit 0: fmt, strict all-target SSH Clippy, complete SSH crate tests (121 passed, 0 failed, 9 ignored; 56 installation tests), 21 shell checks. Verbatim gate. Restores now refresh source timestamps so Cargo cannot reuse a stale pre-change artifact.

Strengthened the command-crash regression to interrupt the start reply after activation has created a real 0755 control socket. It checks the Start boundary, then requires original rollback and retry to succeed. Against the archived production source (f210a4f25), cleanup fails with exit 72, matching the timeout failure mechanism. The earlier interruption-before-start test did not exercise that socket lifecycle. Current-source full SSH gates are being rerun after this change.

Only one Cargo target folder is used. A comparison run overlapped a normal gate and replaced a shared SSH artifact; the gate caught old diagnostic behavior. Removed only this job's SSH build artifacts with cargo clean -p infraternal-plugin-ssh and now serialize all old/current Cargo runs. Existing pushed cleanup/recovery gates were completed before that comparison. VM reproduction remains queued for the shared perf lock; work continues locally.

Diagnostics completed and pushed: 3157dc956. Formatting, strict SSH Clippy, complete SSH tests and 21 shell checks pass. The stronger interrupted-start test now fails with 72 on the production source and passes on this branch; every nonzero script status is classified as setup rather than channel. Full gate receipt is attached separately.

Important deployment case: restarting the server loses in-memory cleanup coordinates. The existing remote_host_bootstrap + remote_hosts ledger retains failed host ids, execution uid, mode, owner and authenticated SSH lookup/address after bootstrap retirement (bootstrap_retirement.rs updates revoked_at rather than deleting those rows). An additive Backend hook will allow automatic recovery only when that durable failed record matches the observed receipt's exact host id, current owner, mode, execution uid and authenticated destination. A stored SSH lookup must match the current lookup; legacy records without a lookup require the same address and no current lookup. Active records and foreign/mismatched records cannot authorize automatic recovery. Unknown earlier state keeps the existing confirmation and full shell checks. No schema, dependency or happy-path query is added.

This makes a same-server retry after restart actually finish its earlier cleanup, instead of adding a confirmation for an already-authorized failed setup. The receipt inventory, inode binding and symlink/liveness checks still apply before any removal. Contract notes will describe this additional proof boundary; no frozen wire shape changes.

Completed and pushed native fixture: 0f3863f739. The existing real SSH test now requires a facts timeout followed by network restoration and attempt-two completion. scripts/addhost-retry/native.py uses a fresh rootless account, loopback sshd, memory-only keys and a rule limited to its uid/port; refuses a preexisting table and proves its own cleanup. Before-fix real VM run shows status72 with plugins.sock and a receipt, as attached above. Candidate run remains queued.

Normal gate: fmt, strict SSH/server all-target Clippy, complete SSH tests, 11 server bootstrap tests, 21 shell checks and AST parse PASS. harness-gate.log

Size work is separate: one shared setup-lock literal verified instead of three. Trying the existing management size profile on the SSH crate; terminal/mesh/crypto profiles remain unchanged. No cap raised, no deploy.

Completed and pushed literal sharing: b85913adc9. Direct include_str formatting emitted 3 copies of the 2,176-byte setup-lock program; local bindings share 1 and preserve generated shell bytes. No guard, feature or dependency removed. Normal fmt/strict Clippy/full SSH test gate is included in the preceding harness receipt; 21 shell checks and the interrupted-activation rollback/retry pass. The cold-classifier-only saving was small and that experiment has also been reverted; no diagnostic inlining attributes remain.

The only pending source change is a release-profile measurement for the SSH management crate. It must meet the exact current caps and pass the VM happy-path comparison before final acceptance.

Both stripped static release builds completed with the existing management size profile applied only to the SSH crate. x86_64: 21,332,464 bytes versus directly built production base 21,422,096 (-89,632). aarch64: 19,528,712 versus recorded starting ceiling 19,594,856 (-66,144). No dependencies/features changed; terminal, mesh and crypto dependency profiles remain unchanged. Updated both exact ceilings and PROCESS table downward; no allowance was added.

Boundary checks PASS for each shipping artifact, one-byte-over rejection and smaller-artifact ratchet. Normal touched-crate gates PASS; scripts/verify iterate is now running.

Happy-path comparison fixture failed before the first candidate install: the second disposable user manager did not start after enable-linger. Its error cleanup then attempted to remove a /run directory it had not created. The account/home were already removed; a separate recheck confirms account, home and test table absent. This partial run is excluded from acceptance; no performance conclusion drawn.

Hardened only the native test fixture: reserve distinct execution uids across adjacent runs, explicitly start each manager, and retire the public /run directory only after successful creation. Python AST check PASS. Requeued all 10 alternating before/after pairs with fresh labels at 11:53 CEST. Product code is unchanged; real timeout/retry remains PASS. Workspace iterate is compiling its additional native crypto variant.

Completed and pushed test-fixture lifetime fix 1796ee42e and measured release-profile/cap step 8abe62e0c. All 20 real SSH/systemd happy-path setups passed, every run had no rollback receipt, and all 20 daemon/account/home/network cleanup checks passed. Ten pairs alternate order with fresh accounts and distinct uids on infraternal-perf-test (4 vCPU, MemTotal 8,069,112 kB; one-minute load 0.46–1.13). Controller uses matching GNU test builds; target daemon uses the matching stripped static release.

Baseline median 1,844.5ms (range 1,747–2,034); candidate median 1,748.5ms (1,658–1,970). Observed median difference -96ms/-5.20%; overlapping ranges, no observed happy-path slowdown. No sample was excluded from this restarted complete run; the earlier fixture-start failure is recorded separately.

Final static x86_64 21,332,464 bytes (-89,632 vs directly built production base), aarch64 19,528,712 (-66,144 vs recorded starting ceiling); exact ceilings ratcheted down.

Final exact-test recheck + scripts/verify fast has been queued in build-slot since12:12 CEST (about13 minutes), with all slots occupied.

The queued full gate uses RUST_TEST_THREADS=4 and skips no tests. Final completion still requires a clean full gate.

Finished and pushed addhost-retry at 8abe62e0c4 (9 atomic commits). Checkout clean. No deploy; calternal-dev and owner fixtures untouched. Issue stays open.

Root cause confirmed on the VM: facts timed out, cleanup ran but could not remove the stopped daemon’s inherited-mode sessions/plugins.sock; its rollback receipt then made every retry return72. Cleanup now retires only the proven owned, stopped socket. Retry/restart recovery retains exact server/host/transaction/inode and inventory checks; foreign, linked, live and unknown state remains refused. A losing concurrent attempt cannot retire the winner’s lease. Returned script statuses produce setup diagnostics rather than command-channel errors.

Before-fix regressions fail and repaired timeout→retry, command-crash→retry and competing-attempt tests pass. Final workspace output includes every new regression, including durable ledger ownership. All20 real SSH/systemd happy-path setups, empty-receipt checks and cleanup checks pass on the4-vCPU perf VM (load0.46–1.13). Alternating10-pair median:1,844.5ms before /1,748.5ms after; no observed slowdown. Full samples/methods are attached above.

VM accounts/processes/table/artifacts and local temporary build/baseline files are removed; evidence retained outside the checkout and attached.

Final scripts/verify fast: exit0, RUST_TEST_THREADS=4, no failure exception.

Independent review R01 P1, committed failing tests at 7a202ce660 on review-addhost-retry. Real rollback interrupted after owner-marker removal or base-directory removal leaves its exact receipt intact. On a new server batch, previous_attempt.sh:96–98 requires the deleted base/marker and returns 71 before the new durable ownership check runs; Retry stays blocked. Both Rust tests review_restart_recovers_cleanup_after_owner_retirement and review_restart_recovers_cleanup_after_base_retirement fail (0 passed, 2 failed), preserving receipts. Evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/addhost-retry-review/evidence/restart-boundary-final.log. Existing interruption gap remains uncovered by #230 restart recovery; implementation unchanged, no push.

Independent review R01 P1, committed failing tests at 7a202ce660aeca2737811103cd4f173c59457140 on review-addhost-retry. Real rollback interrupted after owner-marker removal or base-directory removal leaves its exact receipt intact. On a new server batch, previous_attempt.sh:96–98 requires the deleted base/marker and returns 71 before the new durable ownership check runs; Retry stays blocked. Both Rust tests review_restart_recovers_cleanup_after_owner_retirement and review_restart_recovers_cleanup_after_base_retirement fail (0 passed, 2 failed), preserving receipts.

Independent review R02 P1, failing Rust test committed at 2bc8bc7db3 on review-addhost-retry. A real live control listener bound as sessions/plugins.sock from the installation root is missed by runtime_cleanup.sh:18 and previous_attempt.sh:32–39. Both inspection and rollback succeed; rollback unlinks the live socket and deletes its receipt while the listener is still alive. Test review_live_relative_control_socket_preserves_its_receipt: 0 passed, 1 failed; inspection_status=None, cleanup_status=None, socket_and_receipt_preserved=false. Evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/addhost-retry-review/evidence/live-relative.log. Violates the live-socket preservation contract; no implementation change or push.

Independent review checkpoint at 2bc8bc7db: R01 P1 and R02 P1 each have a separate committed Rust regression. Both restart boundaries return71 (2 failures); a live relative-bind socket is accepted and removed (1 failure). Evidence attached: restart, live socket, existing shell. 21 existing shell checks and 56 selected existing installer tests pass. Clean 8abe62e0c scripts/verify fast remains queued through build-slot since about12:41 CEST; no gate result yet. Perf VM access succeeds; size and happy-path claims have not yet been independently remeasured. No push/deploy or implementation change.

Confirmed reviewer binary against unchanged 8abe62e0c implementation: 1 passed, 3 failed. R01 boundaries return71; R02 inspection and cleanup both succeed and remove the live socket/receipt. Cargo confirmation on cherry-picked branch is building separately.

R01 will inspect the bounded private outside receipt before requiring the base/owner, retain directory-inode verification when the base exists, and permit missing-owner recovery only for the empty final-retirement state. Durable same-server ledger authorization remains unchanged.

R02 requires the kernel filesystem-inode mapping: /proc/net/unix and socket:[inode] expose the kernel socket inode, not stat(socket).ino. Use the host ss Unix diagnostics extended inode records for the bridge; retain proc/descriptor checks and fail closed if diagnostics are unavailable. This is only needed when a control socket exists, never on clean setup. No Rust dependency or library choice. Add relative-bind, changed-cwd and renamed-live-socket cases; no path spelling can authorize removal.

R01 fixed and pushed at ff4cf722b. Both reviewer restart-boundary regressions pass: the outside receipt remains usable after owner/base retirement, with unchanged durable same-server authorization. Missing owner is accepted only for an empty root; replacement inode and nonempty root are refused (2 additional shell checks). Liveness still checks canonical process paths even when the base is absent.

Gate exit0: fmt, strict all-target SSH clippy, 125 SSH tests passed, 9 default opt-ins ignored, 23 shell checks passed. The single known R02 reviewer test was explicitly excluded for this R01 commit only; R02 is being fixed next and final fast will skip nothing beyond repository defaults. Reviewer unchanged-implementation binary confirms all 3 new failures before repair.

R02 fixed and pushed at a4deaec21; contract clarification pushed at a09a91d73. Unix diagnostics use the filesystem inode, bridging to kernel socket/descriptor identity rather than trusting relative path spelling. The reviewer listener now changes cwd after binding; it remains live and its receipt is preserved. Added renamed-live socket, changed-cwd, and missing-diagnostics checks. Missing or incomplete host ss diagnostics refuse cleanup; the named VM has /usr/bin/ss. Clean setup does not invoke it.

Gate exit0: fmt, strict all-target SSH clippy, complete SSH tests (126 passed, 9 repository-default opt-ins ignored), all 26 shell checks passed. All 3 reviewer regressions, earlier field-state receipt→retry, crash→retry and concurrent-attempt cases pass. No R02 exclusion remains. Milestone iterate/static builds are running through build-slot; final fast and VM checks follow.

Additional R01 boundary found during self-review: ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION writes the outside receipt immediately before rm -rf of .bootstrap-lock. A stop inside that recursive removal may delete transaction/kind before the rest of the stage, so inspection and rollback still require already-retired markers. Adding a real partial-removal regression before fixing it. The final receipt proves service rollback already completed; recovery must validate the remaining known private stage artifacts, refuse mismatched surviving markers/unknown files/links, and finish stage retirement without re-executing service changes. Final fast will run after this repair, not on the earlier milestone head.

New R01 partial-stage regression failed first with71; its 3 subcases now pass (transaction, kind, both removed), including retained private staged enrollment state. Added refusal checks for another surviving transaction, unknown stage files and nested links; all29 shell checks pass. A valid final receipt now authorizes only validated remaining stage retirement, without repeating already-completed service changes. Full SSH gate is queued before the repair commit.

Milestone iterate at the earlier head exited1: fmt, VT fmt, CLI compile-out, workspace clippy and cargo-deny PASS. Only failure is the unchanged auth socket test responsive_socket_survives_a_held_terminal_open_with_an_existing_attachment, FrozenSocketTime Drop at auth/socket_clock.rs:81 (“socket test stopped before its observed event”); server449 passed/1 failed/48 ignored. No failure exception claimed. Detached origin/dev41a3a81ab baseline has identical clock and test files (cmp PASS); exact baseline test is queued through build-slot in the same host-load window, followed by current SSH gate and static builds. Final fast will use RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 without changing deadlines, assertions or default opt-ins.

The first VM field fixture used an overlong scratch socket path and failed AF_UNIX sun_path before the assertion; a corrected shorter job-owned path is queued on the VM lock. This is fixture setup, not accepted product evidence.

Remaining R01 staging-retirement repair committed/pushed at de65ab01e; contract update at edc3726853. Final receipt authority now survives removal of transaction, kind or both during stage retirement. Exact surviving markers, known private stage artifacts and bounded no-link private trees are required; foreign markers/unknown files/nested links are refused. Completed service rollback is not replayed. Missing stage skips retirement, preserving the prior idempotence regression. No receipt/wire/schema/dependency changes.

Normal gate exit0: fmt, strict all-target SSH clippy, complete SSH tests127 passed/0 failed/9 default opt-ins ignored (installer61 passed), 29 shell checks passed. All earlier tests are green, including field-state receipt→retry, crash→retry and concurrent attempts. Before/after partial-stage proof attached. Exact auth socket test also PASS on head and detached dev41a3a81ab; the earlier full-suite failure remains recorded and no baseline exception is claimed.

Static x86_64/aarch64 builds are running in this job's single build slot; completed native incremental output removed. VM corrected-path field check remains waiting for the shared lock. Final full fast, measured size delta and VM acceptance/performance are still pending. No deploy, no calternal-dev access.

First repaired x86_64 static build at edc372685:21,336,560 bytes, +4,096 versus exact current cap21,332,464. Not accepted as final; no ceiling raised. Inspection finds exactly1 copy each of runtime_cleanup.sh, previous_attempt.sh and setup_lock.sh, so further literal sharing is unnecessary.

Prepared a source-only reduction: move shell proof comments beside their Rust embedding constants, retaining a role/reference comment in each shell module. Every executable shell line is byte-identical and in the same order; no runtime filtering, build-time rewriting, dependency, feature, profile or validation change. This removes about6.5KB of transmitted/stored commentary while retaining the explanations in code. It will be applied after the current aarch64 measurement ends, then fmt/strict SSH clippy/full SSH+shell tests, both static targets and VM happy-path comparison will be repeated.

R02 wide-inode boundary fixed/pushed at983e622de. Verified local kernel UAPI linux/unix_diag.h declares udiag_vfs_ino asu32; comparing full stat u64 could miss a live socket. New real-listener regression failed first with0 instead of73, then passes with values above2^32, above2^63 and near u64 maximum. Decimal digit reduction avoids floating-point and signed-shell overflow; truncation collisions retain state. Full filesystem identity remains unchanged at the unlink recheck.

Source-only size reduction committed/pushed atd5d09718b: proof notes moved beside Rust embedding constants, with role/reference comments retained in shell modules. Every non-comment shell line has an unchanged command hash; no runtime/build-time filtering or altered command. Initial sizes were21,336,560 x86_64 and19,532,808 aarch64, each+4,096 over the existing exact cap; no cap raised. New static measurements are running.

Full final scripts/verify fast PASS, exit0, on pushed head80a81d313cee8c017d7cc75904565325efdc9f23. RUST_TEST_THREADS=1; no explicit test exclusions or failure exception. The previously failing unchanged auth socket test passes inside the full suite. All Rust rows PASS; Bun3/191/37 tests pass with0 failures. Raw transcript and verbatim summary attached; finish comment will quote it again after the remaining measurements.

Current-binary VM acceptance PASS under the shared lock: all30 shell checks, field-state receipt→retry, all reviewer cases and3 partial-stage boundaries pass. Actual SSH/systemd/rootless run: facts timeout30,003.087ms, original rollback761.531ms successful; remove uid/loopback-port nft rule, retry completes at1,633ms. No rollback receipts remain; active hosts2/prior1, unconsumed live invitations0, attempts0. VM4CPU, load0.71/1.25/1.13 for the native fixture. Own sshd PID1244633 exited; fixture account/home and nft table removed.

Candidate controller and static binary hashes are identical before and after full fast, so this acceptance used the exact gated artifacts. Matched production source comparison is now building; ten alternating happy-path pairs and direct production size delta remain. No deploy or owner-host access.

Finished and pushed addhost-retry at 80a81d313c; ready for short delta re-review. No deploy. calternal-dev and owner fixtures remain untouched; issue stays open.

R01: the private outside receipt survives final cleanup after owner/base retirement and any subset of staging-marker removal. Exact surviving bindings and bounded private known artifacts are validated; completed service changes are not replayed. R02: kernel inode diagnostics retain live relative/cwd-changed and renamed sockets, including wide filesystem inode values. Unknown state, foreign transactions, nested links and missing/incomplete diagnostics are refused. Host ss is required only when a retained control socket needs inspection. No Rust dependency, wire, receipt or schema change.

All reviewer regressions and earlier retry/concurrency cases pass. Current-artifact VM proof: 30 shell checks plus field-state, reviewer and partial-stage cases pass; real fresh-rootless SSH/systemd facts timeout 30,003.087ms → rollback 761.531ms successful → unblock → retry Done 1,633ms. No rollback receipt remains; failed authority is retired and the successful invitation is consumed. Candidate hashes match the exact gated artifacts.

Happy path, perf VM (infraternal-perf-test, 4 vCPU), ten alternating fresh-rootless-account pairs under the shared lock: production mean 1,425.9ms, repaired 1,419.3ms; medians 1,425 / 1,447ms; median paired repaired-minus-production difference -10.5ms (range -266 to +124ms). Individual times: production 1,207–1,618ms, repaired 1,190–1,742ms. No consistent slowdown observed; no added happy-path SSH round trip or socket diagnostic invocation. Load averages across runs: 1m 0.24–0.86, 5m 0.29–0.45, 15m 0.56–0.60. Raw logs include every sample and environment.

Matched stripped static x86_64: production base 21,422,096 bytes; repaired 21,332,464 (-89,632). Aarch64: 19,524,616, with its exact cap ratcheted down 4,096; x86_64 cap unchanged. Both trust/linkage/size checks and the full static gate pass.

Cleanup verified: all 21 job-owned SSH daemon PIDs, disposable accounts and homes absent; no fixture-owned processes/sockets or test firewall table remain. Removed this job’s VM root and local disposable baseline/build artifacts; evidence retained outside the checkout. No other job’s processes or files changed.

Final scripts/verify fast: exit 0 on the stated head, RUST_TEST_THREADS=1, no explicit test exclusion or failure exception. Earlier auth-socket hang-bound failure and detached dev comparison are recorded above; the unchanged case passes in the final full suite. Verbatim summary (functional gate timings, not performance evidence):

R04 P1: runtime_cleanup.sh:validate_control_socket/retire_control_socket accepts a live replacement after filesystem inode reuse. Real-filesystem synchronized probe: capture actual ss output for the closed stale file; unlink it; bind/listen sessions/plugins.sock through a relative path after the snapshot. First allocation reused the same device/inode. Rollback returned 0, removed the live socket and retired its receipt while the listener remained alive. Evidence: /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/addhost-retry-review/evidence/r2-inode-probe.log (replacement inode reused=True, attempts=1, status=0, socket preserved=False, receipt retained=False). Rust regression review_inode_reuse_after_diagnostics_preserves_live_replacement is prepared; compilation is queued through build-slot. No implementation change. This remains HOLD pending a fix and regression retest.

Delta review tests committed separately on review-addhost-retry-r2: R04 P1 at795e8456b (live replacement removed after actual filesystem inode reuse); R03 P2 ate59027aab (unrelated uid65534 listener blocks stale cleanup through the retained basename fallback). No implementation changes or push.

All six review-prefixed tests run together against the target SSH library: 4 passed,2 failed. Earlier R01 owner/base boundaries both PASS; earlier R02 live relative socket PASS; existing interrupted-acquisition case PASS. New R04 fails on status=None, socket_preserved=false, receipt_retained=false; new R03 fails on inspection=73,cleanup=73,receipt_retained=true. Listener children are retired after each check. R03 is an inherited guard retained in the touched cleanup path and explicitly covered by this delta brief.

Delta repair contract before implementation (#230, D17): replace cached inode/path liveness authority for sessions/plugins.sock with a direct bounded connect. Connected means live; only ECONNREFUSED authorizes stale retirement. Missing probe support, timeout, permission errors and changed/non-socket paths retain state with fixed diagnostics. lstat ownership/type before connect and same (dev,inode) immediately before unlink, with an opened no-link private parent. Ignore global control-socket basenames belonging to other installations/users. No happy-path probe or SSH round trip. Recovery uses host Python 3 standard library only when a retained control socket exists; absent Python refuses safely and names the requirement. No package/crate addition. Existing host/transaction/ledger/receipt checks are unchanged.

Regression checkpoint on b078f4d55 (three requested review test commits cherry-picked and pushed). All 4 earlier review cases pass. R03 P2 confirmed: inspection=73, cleanup=73, receipt retained for an unrelated uid65534 listener. R04 first run could not obtain inode reuse in 256 allocations; this is a fixture-only failure and is not product evidence. Retrying with a longer pre-allocation settle before any cleanup change. Additional shell regressions: 30 pass, 2 fail (full backlog reports73 instead of uncertainty77; unavailable direct probe is ignored). No implementation change or deploy yet.

R04 P1 now confirmed before cleanup changes: actual inode reuse, rollback status=None (success), socket_preserved=false, receipt_retained=false. Fixture diagnosis: staging retirement frees lower inodes; repeatedly unlinking the nonmatching allocation selects that lower inode forever. Retaining bounded nonmatching files until allocation reaches the original inode makes the real regression reproducible, without mocked inode/stat/diagnostic values. Then remove those fixture files before publishing the live listener. R03 was independently confirmed above.

Direct-probe implementation now passes all32 shell checks, including full backlog→uncertain77 and unavailable probe→76 with receipts retained. Parent descriptors use O_NOFOLLOW and original base identity; lstat ownership/type/link count and same dev/inode are checked before connect/removal. Removed control basename authority and prevent a second bulk-loop unlink. Normal Rust gate is running; initial added diagnostic assertion incorrectly expected the pre-boundary message and was corrected to preserve the normal Join message. No implementation failure is waived.

Stripped x86_64=21,332,464 bytes, unchanged exact cap and -89,632 vs production base21,422,096. Aarch64 remains compiling. Normal SSH gate and VM field proof are above; one final native rerun covers the no-bytecode switch after both static measurements, then atomic implementation/docs commits and full fast on head. No completion or fresh happy-path timing claim yet.

VM cleanup PASS: no process references to this job root, fixture state empty, disposable root removed. Local VM bundle removed; checksums/logs retained. No account or firewall mutation was needed for this field-state delta run.

Finished and pushed addhost-retry at14b2f20dc4ec85a80ab00dfc10df96f8b15201ea; ready for short delta re-review. Checkout clean and HEAD equals origin/addhost-retry. No deploy; calternal-dev and owner fixtures untouched. Issue stays open.

P1: control-socket liveness now comes from a bounded nonblocking connection to the current file. Connected means live; only ECONNREFUSED authorizes removal. Permission errors, timeout, wrong socket type and uncertain results retain the socket/receipt with fixed diagnostics. Root/runtime directories are opened without following links, with original directory identity and private ownership checked. Socket lstat checks uid/type/link count before connect and the same dev/inode immediately before unlink. The later session removal loop excludes the control socket. Both reported defects failed before the repair: actual inode reuse removed a live replacement and its receipt; the unrelated uid65534 listener returned73 for inspection/cleanup. Earlier R01/R02 remain green.

P2: fixed global control basenames no longer decide liveness; the probe considers our owned file in the installation and process inspection excludes other users. No receipt, wire, schema, Rust dependency or feature change. Recovery with a retained control socket requires host Python3 standard library, run isolated without site imports or bytecode writes; missing support preserves state and names the requirement (76), uncertainty preserves state (77). No added happy-path command or SSH round trip.

Verification: normal fmt/strict SSH clippy/full SSH suite129 passed, explicit reviewer rerun6/6, shell32/32. Current-source VM field-state retry1/1 and all6 reviewer cases6/6 pass, including real inode reuse, unrelated-user liveness, earlier restart/relative-binding cases. Functional real-files/listeners with a synthetic manager; no new real-SSH or happy-path timing claim in this delta. The earlier ten-pair production comparison remains recorded above. VM fixture processes/state/root removed; local test-binary/lease references empty, build target and temporary fixtures removed. Raw receipts and author checklist attached.

Final stripped statics: x86_6421,331,152 bytes (-90,944 vs production base21,422,096; cap down1,312 from previous review), aarch6419,524,584 (cap down32). Both exact ceilings ratcheted; no increase, dependency/feature removal or weakened safety check. Target-specific x86_64 cold outlining retains one classifier implementation and leaves ARM unchanged.

Final scripts/verify fast: exit0 on the stated pushed head, RUST_TEST_THREADS=1, TRACER_TEST_PORT=4430; no explicit test exclusion or baseline exception. All7 Rust rows PASS; Bun3/191/37 pass,0 failures. Verbatim summary follows (functional gate timings, not performance evidence):

Both reported defects failed before the repair: actual inode reuse removed a live replacement and its receipt; the unrelated uid65534 listener returned73 for inspection/cleanup. Earlier R01/R02 remain green. P2: fixed global control basenames no longer decide liveness; the probe considers our owned file in the installation and process inspection excludes other users. No receipt, wire, schema, Rust dependency or feature change. Recovery with a retained control socket requires host Python3 standard library, run isolated without site imports or bytecode writes; missing support preserves state and names the requirement (76), uncertainty preserves state (77). No added happy-path command or SSH round trip. Verification: normal fmt/strict SSH clippy/full SSH suite129 passed, explicit reviewer rerun6/6, shell32/32. Current-source VM field-state retry1/1 and all6 reviewer cases6/6 pass, including real inode reuse, unrelated-user liveness, earlier restart/relative-binding cases. Functional real-files/listeners with a synthetic manager; no new real-SSH or happy-path timing claim in this delta. The earlier ten-pair production comparison remains recorded above. VM fixture processes/state/root removed; local test-binary/lease references empty, build target and temporary fixtures removed. Raw receipts and author checklist attached. Final stripped statics: x86_6421,331,152 bytes (-90,944 vs production base21,422,096; cap down1,312 from previous review), aarch6419,524,584 (cap down32). Both exact ceilings ratcheted; no increase, dependency/feature removal or weakened safety check. Target-specific x86_64 cold outlining retains one classifier implementation and leaves ARM unchanged. Final scripts/verify fast: exit0 on the stated pushed head, RUST_TEST_THREADS=1, TRACER_TEST_PORT=4430; no explicit test exclusion or baseline exception. All7 Rust rows PASS; Bun3/191/37 pass,0 failures.

R06 P1: the new direct probe treats a live bound control socket before listen as stale (runtime_cleanup.sh:27–32). A real child binds sessions/plugins.sock relatively, changes cwd and remains alive. Inspection and rollback return0, unlink the control endpoint and retire the receipt; afterwards that same child successfully calls listen. Failing Rust test review_bound_control_socket_before_listen_preserves_receipt committed separately on review-addhost-retry-r3;0 passed/1 failed, inspection=0,cleanup=0,socket_preserved=false,receipt_retained=false.

Confirming both failures before replacing Python probing with a binary lifetime-lock guard. Contract addition requested by the brief: the remote infraternal agent holds a private runtime lifetime lock before binding, cleanup holds that same lock throughout retirement; legacy installations use conservative binary probing. No deploy or owner-host access.

Confirmed both round-3 regressions before implementation using the exact cherry-picked std-only integration test compiled directly with rustc: 0 passed, 2 failed. No-Python image: inspection=[76,76], cleanup=[76,76], socket and receipt retained. Bound-before-listen: inspection=0, cleanup=0, socket_preserved=false, receipt_retained=false. Raw log: r4-before-direct.log. The slot-wrapped Cargo command was still queued and was stopped by its own PID; no competing command was terminated.

Implementation boundary: the binary takes an advisory lifetime lock through a duplicate of the cleanup shell descriptor, so the shell retains the same open-description lock across all retirement steps. A startup directory admission guard fences final lock-file removal. Legacy hosts needing an updated helper receive the verified matching binary in their existing executable cache only on the recovery path; no added clean-path SSH round trip. Existing host/transaction/root identity and inventory checks remain.

Round-3 regression progress: static helper, no host interpreter: both reviewer cases PASS, plus a new inherited-lock case PASS (3/3). The latter independently tries the kernel lock after the helper exits and verifies that inspection/rollback preserve the receipt until the holder exits. Both original defects failed before, as previously recorded. Full SSH run: 60 installation cases passed, two fixture setup failures now corrected; no test excluded. Fixture updates model the new runtime directory/lock and forward the synthetic executable internal helper command. The actual inode-reuse review case retains its replacement ordering/assertions; its pause seam moves from Python to the staged binary, and starts from an already retired legacy receipt. Full focused gates are rerunning, then daemon/CLI integration and final static gate.

Strict remote/SSH all-target Clippy and fmt PASS; real lifetime unit tests 3/3 PASS (last-description ownership, cleanup/startup admission, link refusal).

Candidate focused gate PASS: full SSH suite (installation 62 passed/1 opt-in ignored), all 6 earlier reviewer cases explicitly enabled PASS, round-3 static helper cases plus inherited-lock test 3/3 PASS, shell suite 32/32 PASS. The no-Python fixture now also continues through new staging/rollback in the same minimal image; that added continuation will be rerun before final claim.

Perf-VM functional proof on the candidate shell/guard snapshot: field-state retry 1/1, all 6 earlier review cases 6/6, round-3 cases plus inherited-lock case 3/3 PASS. Minimal-image case asserts no Python executable and a non-root uid, retires the old receipt, then completes fresh staging/rollback in the same image. VM load 1.40/1.36/1.27; functional gate elapsed times are not performance claims. Fixture state is empty and no process executable/descriptor references this job root; public bundle retained for the final-source rerun. No calternal-dev access or firewall/account change in this field delta.

Integration finding: cancelling a local listener task does not synchronously close its socket; a synchronous worker may also outlive its caller. The shared runtime registry and worker retain the same lock, and the remote supervisor keeps its ownership across worker replacement and temporary credential errors. Added a registry-retention assertion; integration/final artifact gates remain pending. No new library or feature.

Completed/pushed 064f4fc93 (test adapter/dependency edge) and 47559b9f6 (runtime/CLI integration). The adapter now calls the shipping remote-plugin code directly. Only a test dependency on the existing internal remote crate was added; shipping normal dependency tree remains byte-identical (824 lines).

The remote supervisor retains ownership across worker replacement/credential errors; listeners and blocking workers retain the same description through cancellation. Managed startup validates the loaded host marker and refuses unfinished receipts under shared parent admission. A live legacy endpoint cannot publish an unheld new-protocol lock. Tests cover these boundaries.

Latest touched-crate validation: fmt/strict all-target Clippy PASS; remote plugin 21 passed/0 failed; infraternal-agent 107 passed/14 default opt-ins ignored; CLI 79 passed/1 default opt-in ignored. Full SSH run also passes (installer 63 passed/1 opt-in ignored), including automatic recovery after replacing an earlier cache without the internal command. The six earlier review cases pass explicitly. Shell/controller commits follow the remaining explicit minimal-image and shell checks; static measurements then run in the same build slot. No deploy.

Checkpoint head8f1f089a0 pushed. A separate red/green regression now distinguishes a held lifetime lock (73) from uncertain lock I/O (77); uncertain state keeps files and reports permissions plainly.

Latest combined source tests: strict fmt/Clippy PASS; remote22 passed; infraternal agent107 passed/14 default ignored; SSH132 passed/11 default ignored; all6 prior reviewer cases explicit PASS; all3 recovery cases explicit PASS (minimal rootless no-Python image and inherited lifetime descriptor included); shell32 PASS. These are focused gates, not final fast.

Cold setup/startup and old-cache poller sharing cut the initial image overhead. A further attempt-boxing experiment is discarded. Shell proof comments moved beside embedding literals: all13 raw programs have identical executable lines. Latest exploratory sizes21,333,584/19,526,120 remain above unchanged caps21,331,152/19,524,584, so not accepted. Testing opt-level z only for SSH management; it must pass the VM happy-path comparison before handoff. No dependency/feature/check removal or cap increase.

Additional legacy finding: a live same-user relative-bound endpoint with descriptor inspection disabled was classified stale. Reproduced with the actual static executable: inspect0; the permanent regression then observed inspect0/cleanup0, socket removed and receipt retired while the same holder could still listen. New test private_legacy_control_socket_preserves_receipt was confirmed red before the fix.

Fix under validation: missing same-user descriptor inspection authority returns uncertain77; only a vanished process/descriptor is skipped. Private descriptor/read-link failures never prove stale. The new regression now passes with the rebuilt native helper; both socket and receipt remain. New-protocol lifetime locks are unchanged; this is the missing-lock legacy fallback only. Other Unix users remain excluded. All focused tests and both static builds are rerunning.

Size checkpoint: SSH z plus shared attempt measured21,328,944/19,526,488; ARM still1,904 above the unchanged cap. Sharing the existing rollback Operation poller (failure-only, no happy-path allocation) is now measured alongside the legacy correction. No ceiling is raised.

Additional legacy path finding confirmed on the actual static binary: a space in the private home path truncated /proc/net/unix socket names. Permanent test legacy_control_socket_in_spaced_home_preserves_receipt was red: inspect0/cleanup0 removed socket and receipt while the holder could still listen. Corrected parser consumes only the seven ASCII kernel columns and preserves the complete remaining name. The same regression now passes with the rebuilt native helper. Added complete-name/Unicode/unclear-identity unit cases and included row samples in the existing test-only property entry.

The first full fast on1fa880283 was intentionally stopped before static builds after this finding, not reported as passing. Only its four verified descendant PIDs were stopped; ps confirms all gone. Partial log retained outside checkout. Full iterate, six earlier review cases, five recovery cases, shell32, sample corpus and both static builds are rerunning before atomic commits and final head fast. No deploy or owner fixture access.

The full iterate gate passed, then an additional shell check failed1/32 with73 on stale cleanup. This was a correctness finding, not a load exception: deterministic unrelated_same_user_relative_socket_does_not_block_cleanup reproduced73/73 while another directory's same-user endpoint remained live.

Correction: the existing native exact kernel query now requests UID plus VFS identity, scoping bound entries to the already-probed owned control file. Abstract/non-file names and other files cannot supply runtime ownership. Names remain complete after the seven kernel columns. The modern lifetime-lock signal and direct legacy connect probe are unchanged; unexpected replies remain77 and preserve files. Coupled record tests validate the known60-byte ABI; actual-kernel tests compare the matching file and a different file.

Strict canonical workspace Clippy PASS; remote25, infraternal agent107, SSH135 PASS (default ignores unchanged); all6 earlier review cases, all6 recovery cases, shell32 and10000 sample smoke runs PASS. Both new cases confirmed red/green, no coverage claim. Static builds are running; final head fast and frozen release-oracle VM measurements remain pending. Contract clarification: only this installation's owned socket file can retain its cleanup; another directory's socket cannot.

Pushed6066a79ef to discard the paired decoder/retained-cleanup experiment:21,328,624 x86_64;19,526,744 ARM (ARM grew944 and remained2,640 over its unchanged cap). No accepted cap was raised. Restored the exact scoped safety implementation that passed the previous focused and VM gates.

Pushedf100fbcf3: share the bounded binary-hash poller between upload/cache repair and keep upload state behind the existing Operation boundary. Two temporary setup allocations, at most16 for eight admitted hosts; actual scripts, checksum algorithm/chunk and all13 raw shell programs unchanged. Strict workspace Clippy, remote25, infraternal agent107, SSH135, review6, recovery6, shell32 and10000 sample checks PASS; default ignores unchanged. Both static builds are measuring this alternative. Final head fast and paired VM happy-path/native acceptance remain pending. No deployment.

Step committed and pushed: 0223495db compacts indentation in the three embedded helpers. Bash normalized programs are byte-identical; workspace fmt/strict Clippy, remote 26, infraternal agent 107, SSH 135, six earlier review cases, six recovery cases and 32 shell cases pass. This removes 1,230 embedded source bytes but section padding leaves final sizes unchanged: x86 21,326,800; ARM 19,524,712 (608 above the unchanged cap). No cap increase. A lazy internal argument dispatcher is now under the same gates and size builds; final fast and final VM receipts remain pending.

ARM sizing trials: generic dispatch and shorter argument lifetimes passed all focused checks but still produce 19,524,200 bytes (96 over unchanged ceiling). They are not retained: runtime_lock.rs is restored exactly to 6b5622d90. The next candidate isolates enrollment/activation polling behind the existing Operation boundary, like upload/hashing already do: one temporary allocation per host (at most 8 for the admitted batch), no terminal-session allocation. All 13 embedded shell programs are byte-identical (r4-enroll21-shell-proof.json). Gates and ARM-first size build running; final gate/VM receipts pending.

Performance finding; not done. Across all 30 alternating fresh rootless pairs on the 4-CPU perf VM, production median 1,616.5 ms vs eed99734d 1,673 ms (+3.50%); means 1,660.5 / 1,726.57 ms; paired mean delta +66.07 ms, bootstrap 95% interval [-3.6, 141.4] ms. No samples excluded. Initial ten-pair phase medians show install/start coordination overhead. All 60 setups succeeded, all 30 candidate runtimes held their lifetime descriptor, all fixture cleanup receipts pass; post-run references [] and field fixtures 0.

I cannot call that unchanged. Keep native cleanup/ownership checks and lifetime locks intact; reduce external dirname/awk/readlink/stat process launches in setup lease coordination using the fixed installation-root layout, an in-process kernel start-time decoder, and exact directory descriptor identity. No public protocol, dependency or liveness authority changes. Appropriate gates and a fresh head comparison follow. Previous head fast passed; the next changed head will receive its own final fast.

Pushed c70b2cf0e: separate embedded-indentation step, 615 source bytes removed; Bash normalized programs byte-identical for all three helpers, quoted values preserved. Required focused checks PASS: workspace fmt/strict Clippy; remote 28; infraternal agent 107; SSH 135; earlier review 6; recovery 6; shell 32. The first coordination candidate passed functional checks but x86 grew one 4 KiB data alignment page to 21,326,096, above the unchanged 21,322,000 ceiling; ARM remained exact 19,523,560. That oversized artifact is not accepted.

Coordination optimization restored on top of the compact literals, with the 512 valid / 8 uncertain-record corpus. Gate and both size builds are queued/running, exact caps unchanged. Next accepted head will receive fresh release-controller VM measurement, field/native tests and full fast.

Pushed 9a4d4c0b6 on top of c70b2cf0e: setup lease coordination avoids external dirname/awk/readlink and combines receipt metadata checks. Parent/stage/lifetime locks, native runtime probe and cleanup authority are unchanged. Directory identity is compared by device/inode through its retained descriptor; start-time decoding handles the parenthesized kernel name and rejects unsafe suffix characters before splitting.

Focused checks PASS: fmt/strict workspace Clippy; remote 28; infraternal agent 107; SSH 135; earlier review 6; recovery 6; shell 34 including 512 valid / 8 uncertain start-time samples. Both static artifacts are exactly 21,322,000 / 19,523,560 bytes, production trust/static linkage checks PASS, no cap increase.

New field executables are shipped and queued/running on the VM; release controller is building. Fresh thirty-pair comparison, real timeout/retry acceptance and committed-head fast still pending for this new head. Previous eed99734d performance result remains rejected as recorded.

Head 9a4d4c0b6 fast PASS, exit 0, no load waiver; verbatim summary below. Performance is not accepted: thirty fresh alternating pairs give production/candidate medians 1,637/1,721.5 ms (+5.16%), means 1,686.17/1,769.77 ms; paired mean +83.6 ms, 95% bootstrap interval [-16.67,178.27] ms. No samples excluded. Upload paired mean +56.28 ms is dominant; install/start +11.26/+12.76 ms, commit -4.73 ms. All 60 setups/cleanup receipts and 30 held-lifetime checks PASS; post-run references [], field fixtures 0.

A separate command-cost diagnostic is queued on the VM. Next isolate public-binary hashing wakeups: increase the existing heap read buffer from 64 to 512 KiB, with SHA-256 and async file/cancellation behavior retained. Nominal 21,322,000-byte reads drop from 326 to 41 data chunks. Own buffer budget at the global eight-host bound rises from 512 KiB to 4 MiB; existing file buffers remain separately bounded. Actual VM timing/memory and the next changed head gate must pass before handoff. No liveness or cleanup safety checks are removed.

Next candidate changes only the existing SHA-256 file-read buffer from 64 KiB to 512 KiB, reducing nominal async handoffs from 326 to 41 for the shipping image. This is bounded per setup; the existing eight-setup admission limit bounds those buffers to 4 MiB. Focused checks pass; static builds and fresh end-to-end/memory measurements are pending. No claim of unchanged happy-path time yet.

R3 delta complete; pushed addhost-retry at 34d9d5e4a4. Ready for the requested short delta re-review. No deploy; issue remains open.

The infraternal agent and installer acquire lifetime exclusion before socket binding. Cleanup uses the staged native executable, retains the same lock through receipt retirement, and resumes interrupted cleanup after server restart. No host Python dependency remains. Older installations use conservative native legacy inspection; live or unclear state is retained. Earlier server/host binding, ownership, link refusal and concurrent-attempt protection remain. No shipping dependency graph change or foundational engine selection.

Both R3 P1 tests were confirmed failing before the repair. Final focused checks pass: remote 28, infraternal agent 107, SSH 135, earlier review cases 6, recovery cases 6, shell cases 34. VM field-state retry 1/1 and review/recovery 6/6 each pass, including the no-Python image, bound-before-listen and concurrent installer versus cleanup. The test-only decoder target also completed a 10,000-sample non-instrumented smoke run; this is not a coverage claim.

Native fresh-rootless SSH acceptance on infraternal-perf-test: restricted nft rule causes facts timeout 30,002.451 ms; rollback 664.272 ms; unblocked retry Check-to-Done 1,597 ms, no receipts, tokens or attempts remaining. Running daemon retained its lifetime description; independent flock refused. Oracle 2743222, sshd 2743219 and daemon 2743594 are gone, account and nft table removed.

Final performance on the 4-vCPU/7-GB perf VM under the shared measurement lock and CPUWeight=10000: all 30 alternating baseline/candidate pairs included. Production/candidate Check-to-Done median 1,673 / 1,655.5 ms (-1.05%), mean 1,680.7 / 1,659.9 ms, p95 1,935 / 1,947 ms. Paired mean delta -20.8 ms; bootstrap 95% interval [-73.8, +27.33] ms. No observed happy-path regression; raw prior slower runs remain recorded. Per-trial load starts 0.07/0.18/0.45 and ends 1.75/1.00/0.73. The isolated 512-KiB hash-read change removes the prior upload-phase increase without changing the digest engine or any runtime protection. Sampled controller VmHWM median 20,160 / 20,430 KiB (+270 KiB), maximum 22,288 / 22,460 KiB. Explicit temporary hash buffers: 512 KiB each, bounded to 4 MiB across eight admitted setups; none retained by terminal sessions. All 60 runs: empty receipt list, zero pending authority, successful process/account/rule cleanup; all 30 candidate daemons held lifetime exclusion.

Fresh same-recipe stripped static x86 size: 21,322,000 bytes versus production merge-base f210a4f250 at 21,422,096 bytes: -100,096 bytes. ARM 19,523,560 bytes. Exact caps ratcheted, never increased; final gate has zero size delta on both targets. Author checklist completed.

Cleanup complete: post-run runtime references empty, zero field fixtures, all final scopes inactive. VM artifacts, local target, baseline checkout, copied binaries and owned temporary roots removed; only evidence retained. The first empty-root removal found empty nested test directories; the final receipt confirms those were removed using rmdir and cleanup completed. No processes were killed during cleanup. Worktree clean; HEAD equals origin/addhost-retry.

Cleanup uses the staged native executable, retains the same lock through receipt retirement, and resumes interrupted cleanup after server restart. No host Python dependency remains. Older installations use conservative native legacy inspection; live or unclear state is retained. Earlier server/host binding, ownership, link refusal and concurrent-attempt protection remain. No shipping dependency graph change or foundational engine selection. Both R3 P1 tests were confirmed failing before the repair. Final focused checks pass: remote 28, infraternal agent 107, SSH 135, earlier review cases 6, recovery cases 6, shell cases 34. VM field-state retry 1/1 and review/recovery 6/6 each pass, including the no-Python image, bound-before-listen and concurrent installer versus cleanup. The test-only decoder target also completed a 10,000-sample non-instrumented smoke run; this is not a coverage claim. Native fresh-rootless SSH acceptance on infraternal-perf-test: restricted nft rule causes facts timeout 30,002.451 ms; rollback 664.272 ms; unblocked retry Check-to-Done 1,597 ms, no receipts, tokens or attempts remaining. Running daemon retained its lifetime description; independent flock refused. Oracle 2743222, sshd 2743219 and daemon 2743594 are gone, account and nft table removed. Final performance on the 4-vCPU/7-GB perf VM under the shared measurement lock and CPUWeight=10000: all 30 alternating baseline/candidate pairs included. Production/candidate Check-to-Done median 1,673 / 1,655.5 ms (-1.05%), mean 1,680.7 / 1,659.9 ms, p95 1,935 / 1,947 ms. Paired mean delta -20.8 ms; bootstrap 95% interval [-73.8, +27.33] ms. No observed happy-path regression; raw prior slower runs remain recorded. Per-trial load starts 0.07/0.18/0.45 and ends 1.75/1.00/0.73. The isolated 512-KiB hash-read change removes the prior upload-phase increase without changing the digest engine or any runtime protection. Sampled controller VmHWM median 20,160 / 20,430 KiB (+270 KiB), maximum 22,288 / 22,460 KiB. Explicit temporary hash buffers: 512 KiB each, bounded to 4 MiB across eight admitted setups; none retained by terminal sessions. All 60 runs: empty receipt list, zero pending authority, successful process/account/rule cleanup; all 30 candidate daemons held lifetime exclusion. Fresh same-recipe stripped static x86 size: 21,322,000 bytes versus production merge-base f210a4f25055a1c6ee4e624e36f99f3f20ead640 at 21,422,096 bytes: -100,096 bytes. ARM 19,523,560 bytes.

R07 — P1 — Native legacy inspection removes a live endpoint whose home pathname contains a newline.

Target34d9d5e4a; location crates/plugins/remote/src/runtime_lock.rs:185, /proc/net/unix rows.lines(). Linux socket names may contain a literal newline. Splitting by lines loses the complete candidate name, so legacy_bound returns false although the endpoint is still bound. With the actual shipped inspection and rollback scripts, inspection=0, cleanup=0, socket_preserved=false, receipt_retained=false; the same surviving holder successfully calls listen afterwards.

Failing regression legacy_control_socket_in_newline_home_preserves_receipt is committed and pushed on review-addhost-retry-r4 at4dccad62176f4462f32bb4031a95f8d32dfeec0e. It extends the existing real-holder fixture; no implementation change. Direct native retire also returns0 and removes the live endpoint. Evidence: newline-test.log and legacy-newline-probe.log under /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/review-addhost-retry/evidence/.

HOLD — 0 P0,1 P1,0 P2,0 P3. R01-R06 exact prior regressions remain passing; this is another input to the new legacy fallback. The independently started fast gate completed all target Rust tests before this additional test was added; it is currently building target static artifacts. Its final transcript will be recorded separately and does not include the new intentionally failing review test.

R08 — P1 — Native legacy inspection removes a live endpoint bound through an absolute alias.

Target34d9d5e4a; location crates/plugins/remote/src/runtime_lock.rs:187-196. control() resolves the opened runtime to its canonical spelling, but legacy_bound filters absolute kernel names by that prefix before asking for VFS identity. A symlink alias to the same private directory supplies a different lexical prefix and is skipped. This also applies to an absolute spelling through an aliased home, which the bootstrap permits.

The permanent real-holder test legacy_control_socket_through_absolute_alias_preserves_receipt fails: inspection=0, cleanup=0, socket_preserved=false, receipt_retained=false. The same holder successfully listens afterwards. Test committed/pushed as7cd3cab4f6ed34a2d0ddbfa301e00c027f38bb47 on review-addhost-retry-r4. No implementation change. Raw evidence: alias-test.log and legacy-alias-probe.log under /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/review-addhost-retry/evidence/.

HOLD — 0 P0,2 P1 (R07/R08),0 P2,0 P3. Prior exact R06 test passes, but its bound-endpoint safety invariant is NOT FIXED completely: both new inputs still remove a live bound endpoint. R01-R05 remain FIXED by their exact tests. The target fast gate is still building static artifacts; target Rust tests passed before reviewer tests were added, so that target PASS does not cover the intentionally failing review regressions.

R07/R08 confirmed before implementation against the exact native module with a standalone driver and the cherry-picked real-holder tests: 2 passed, 2 failed. Both new cases returned inspection=0 and cleanup=0, removed the socket and receipt, while the holder subsequently listened. Spaced-home/private controls passed. Cargo dependency build was still running; no Cargo-before-fix result is claimed. Raw receipt: r5-before-direct.log.

Repair removes every socket-name candidate filter and reads only the numeric kernel inode column, then compares the kernel-reported UID/device/inode to the owned fixed endpoint. Newline continuation text can only add a conservative query; it cannot omit the original numeric record. Known exact replies without a VFS binding are explicitly nonmatching; denied/unexpected replies retain state. Lifetime locking and receipt/ledger checks are unchanged; no happy-path probe or dependency added. This refines the existing D17 cleanup contract, not an owner decision.

Taking over addhost-retry for round-4 R07/R08 (live control endpoint removed when the home path has a newline or is reached through an absolute alias).

Branch addhost-retry, base 0dfb23776 (R07 test 9283226ed ≙ 4dccad621, R08 test 0dfb23776 ≙ 7cd3cab4f) + cherry-picked fixture lint fix 1bad09119.

Plan: drop /proc/net/unix from the legacy check entirely. Ask the kernel for one socket-diagnostic dump of every Unix socket with UID + VFS identity and keep the endpoint if any bound socket has the control file's UID/device/inode. No names are read, so newlines and aliases cannot change the answer. Any unexpected reply stays "unsure" (77, keep).

Finished R07/R08 on addhost-retry, head 6ac50b8e3 (pushed).

  • fc8731f84 fix(remote): the legacy control-endpoint check no longer reads /proc/net/unix or any socket name.

Round 5 review findings (target 6ac50b8e3, review branch review-addhost-retry-r5 at e9b335ef7). Each failing test is its own commit; no implementation changes.

R07 / R08: FIXED. No socket names are read any more. Restricted or unavailable sock_diag (netlink socket refused, no unix_diag, kernel <5.3 without the UID attribute, NLMSG_ERROR, ext-ack, truncation at 64 KiB, timeout, non-kernel sender) always gives 77 and keeps the endpoint. Inode reuse and the 32-bit projection can only produce a false "bound", which keeps the endpoint. Abstract sockets are ignored correctly.

R09 P1: stat device ≠ sock_diag device. legacy_bound compares stat st_dev with udiag_vfs_dev, which is d_sb->s_dev. These differ on btrfs (the subvolume's anonymous device: Fedora/openSUSE homes; argued from kernel source, no root here to mount btrfs) and on overlays whose layers are on different filesystems with xino off. Measured in an unprivileged userns: stat 0:60, diag 0:59, same inode. On such a filesystem a bound-before-listen legacy endpoint gives inspect=Ok(()) retire=Ok(()) kept=false. The same inner test passes on plain tmpfs. This is not a regression from r4 (the same device comparison existed there), but the R06 fix is incomplete on these filesystems. Test: legacy_bound_endpoint_on_a_split_device_filesystem_is_kept, commit 0987a36ea. Hint: a match only keeps the endpoint, so drop the device term.

R10 P1 (same precedent as R07): previous_attempt.sh session endpoints. Live shims are non-dumpable, so /proc/<pid> is not user-owned and the exe/fd scan skips them. That leaves /proc/net/unix as the only signal, and a newline in the home path splits the row. The shipped inspection plus the start_fresh body, run against a non-dumpable listening holder:

  • plain home: 73/73, endpoint kept (control)
  • newline home: inspection=0 cleanup=0 session_preserved=false receipt_retained=false, 3 of 3 runs

Test: review_live_session_socket_in_newline_home_blocks_cleanup, commit e9b335ef7. Run it with a short INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT. Hint: apply the kernel-identity check to each sessions/*.sock.

P3 notes: the dump covers only the caller's netns (a bound-not-listening legacy runtime in another netns is not seen); pre-existing unlink TOCTOU after the after recheck. The 6ac50b8e3 caps agree between docs and verify.d.

Round 6 break-it delta review — addhost-retry b18b4c3a2 (#230)

Reviewer branch review-addhost-retry-r6 (base origin/addhost-retry b18b4c3a2, head a177e6b80, pushed).
Delta reviewed: 6ac50b8e3..b18b4c3a2. It contains 95f0ba843 (match on owner+inode), 604915d14 (--bootstrap-runtime BASE IDENTITY sessions),
b18b4c3a2 (caps), and the cherry-picked R09/R10 tests.
Logs are in ~/.cache/codex-scratch/review-addhost-retry-r6/: remote.log, ssh.log and gate.log.

R09 — FIXED

legacy_bound_endpoint_on_a_split_device_filesystem_is_kept passes. It runs on an overlay with xino=off inside a user namespace.

R10 — FIXED

review_live_session_socket_in_{plain,newline}_home_blocks_cleanup both pass. The rest of recovery_support passes too, apart from the new R11 test: 9 passed, 1 failed, 1 ignored.

R11 — P2 — an outdated cached helper gives "ownership is not proven" on every Retry and is never refreshed

Location: runtime_cleanup.sh runtime_helper, called from previous_attempt.sh not_live.
runtime_helper only checks that --bootstrap-runtime-version exits 0. Every helper since 32e4cb5d1 passes that check.
A helper cached before 604915d14 does not know the sessions mode and exits 71. I confirmed this by reading command() at 6ac50b8e3: with no lifetime lock, the mode check fails; with one, checked_lock fails on /dev/null. Both give 71.
bootstrap.rs refreshes the cache only on exit code 76. classify() maps 71 to "Host provisioning cannot safely remove these leftovers because their ownership is not proven."
The result: the user sees a wrong message on every Retry. The stale cache, which is the real cause, is never replaced.
Who is affected: --bootstrap-runtime-version is not on main or dev, so production hosts get 76 and a refresh. Only staging and test hosts that cached a helper from this branch before 604915d14 are hit. The same failure will come back the next time a mode is added.
Failing test: review_cached_helper_without_session_mode_asks_for_a_refresh (a177e6b80). It observed inspection=Some(71) and expects 76.
Fix hint: make the version probe report a capability level, and have the script exit 76 when the level is too low.

R12 — P2 — matching on owner+inode alone: a dead session endpoint can look live forever

Location: kernel_bound in runtime_lock.rs. sessions() now uses it for every sessions/*.sock file.
Inode numbers are unique only within one filesystem. Take a same-uid socket on another mount whose bound file has the same 32-bit inode as a dead shim's leftover file. It makes that leftover return 73 ("Setup is already running… wait").
Such sockets usually live until reboot, so Retry never completes. A collision on the same filesystem is impossible, because a bound socket keeps its inode even after unlink.
Failing test: stale_session_endpoint_is_not_held_live_by_a_foreign_inode_twin (8875c0dd4). It uses two fresh tmpfs mounts in a user namespace. Observed: target inode=2, sessions=Err(73).
How likely, measured on this host with a sock_diag dump (kernel 6.12):

  • uid 1001 has 22 bound path sockets. 18 of them are on tmpfs, with inodes 16..5,888,161. The home is ext4 with about 32 M inodes. That gives about 6e-7 per leftover file.
  • In root mode, 51 sockets sit on /run tmpfs with inodes 794..2,171, while /var/lib is on ext4. The risk is about as small.
  • The risk is high when the base is on tmpfs or overlay (containers, a tmpfs home), or on a young btrfs subvolume whose numbering overlaps the tmpfs counters. That is roughly 1e-4 per leftover file, and close to certain on small, fresh mounts.

    Fix hint (keeps R09 fixed): when the inode matches, also compare devices. Take the file's superblock device from statx STX_MNT_ID and the maj:min in /proc/self/mountinfo. That is the same s_dev the diag record carries, on both btrfs and overlay.

P2 — b18b4c3a2 commits three scripts/pycache/*.cpython-314.pyc files (72 KB)

These are build artifacts. They embed a local path: /home/kayg/Developer/infraternal/.worktrees/addhost-retry/scripts/evidence_path.py.
They have nothing to do with "raise static ceilings", so the commit is not atomic. No .gitignore entry covers scripts/pycache.

Checked, OK

  • Quoting and injection: every path is quoted. The helper takes positional arguments and parses no options. base is always absolute, and glob characters are still refused afterwards with 75. There is no eval.
  • Symlinked sessions dir: the helper opens it with O_NOFOLLOW and exits 71, matching inspect_previous's own 71.
  • Sockets owned by another uid: both sides skip them.
  • Unreadable directory: exits 77, so the attempt is kept.
  • More than 1024 leftovers: exits 77 (kept), where it used to exit 75. Both strand the attempt; that part is pre-existing. P3: the 77 text is less accurate than the old one.
  • Old helper: the run ends in a message, not a silent stall, but the message is wrong (R11).

P3

  • When unix_diag is unavailable (CONFIG_UNIX_DIAG=n, modules_disabled, gVisor, WSL1), any leftover session socket now exits 77 forever. The old /proc/net/unix text path worked there.
  • Other network namespaces and the unlink TOCTOU are unchanged.

# Round 6 break-it delta review — addhost-retry b18b4c3a2 (#230) Reviewer branch review-addhost-retry-r6 (base origin/addhost-retry b18b4c3a2, head a177e6b80, pushed). Delta reviewed: 6ac50b8e3..b18b4c3a2. It contains 95f0ba843 (match on owner+inode), 604915d14 (`--bootstrap-runtime BASE IDENTITY sessions`), b18b4c3a2 (caps), and the cherry-picked R09/R10 tests. Logs are in ~/.cache/codex-scratch/review-addhost-retry-r6/: remote.log, ssh.log and gate.log. ## R09 — FIXED legacy_bound_endpoint_on_a_split_device_filesystem_is_kept passes. It runs on an overlay with xino=off inside a user namespace. ## R10 — FIXED review_live_session_socket_in_{plain,newline}_home_blocks_cleanup both pass. The rest of recovery_support passes too, apart from the new R11 test: 9 passed, 1 failed, 1 ignored. ## R11 — P2 — an outdated cached helper gives "ownership is not proven" on every Retry and is never refreshed Location: runtime_cleanup.sh runtime_helper, called from previous_attempt.sh not_live. runtime_helper only checks that `--bootstrap-runtime-version` exits 0. Every helper since 32e4cb5d1 passes that check. A helper cached before 604915d14 does not know the `sessions` mode and exits 71. I confirmed this by reading command() at 6ac50b8e3: with no lifetime lock, the mode check fails; with one, checked_lock fails on /dev/null. Both give 71. bootstrap.rs refreshes the cache only on exit code 76. classify() maps 71 to "Host provisioning cannot safely remove these leftovers because their ownership is not proven." The result: the user sees a wrong message on every Retry. The stale cache, which is the real cause, is never replaced. Who is affected: `--bootstrap-runtime-version` is not on main or dev, so production hosts get 76 and a refresh. Only staging and test hosts that cached a helper from this branch before 604915d14 are hit. The same failure will come back the next time a mode is added. Failing test: review_cached_helper_without_session_mode_asks_for_a_refresh (a177e6b80). It observed inspection=Some(71) and expects 76. Fix hint: make the version probe report a capability level, and have the script exit 76 when the level is too low. ## R12 — P2 — matching on owner+inode alone: a dead session endpoint can look live forever Location: kernel_bound in runtime_lock.rs. sessions() now uses it for every sessions/*.sock file. Inode numbers are unique only within one filesystem. Take a same-uid socket on another mount whose bound file has the same 32-bit inode as a dead shim's leftover file. It makes that leftover return 73 ("Setup is already running… wait"). Such sockets usually live until reboot, so Retry never completes. A collision on the same filesystem is impossible, because a bound socket keeps its inode even after unlink. Failing test: stale_session_endpoint_is_not_held_live_by_a_foreign_inode_twin (8875c0dd4). It uses two fresh tmpfs mounts in a user namespace. Observed: target inode=2, sessions=Err(73). How likely, measured on this host with a sock_diag dump (kernel 6.12): - uid 1001 has 22 bound path sockets. 18 of them are on tmpfs, with inodes 16..5,888,161. The home is ext4 with about 32 M inodes. That gives about 6e-7 per leftover file. - In root mode, 51 sockets sit on /run tmpfs with inodes 794..2,171, while /var/lib is on ext4. The risk is about as small. - The risk is high when the base is on tmpfs or overlay (containers, a tmpfs home), or on a young btrfs subvolume whose numbering overlaps the tmpfs counters. That is roughly 1e-4 per leftover file, and close to certain on small, fresh mounts. Verdict: rare, but it never clears and the message tells the user to wait. P2. Fix hint (keeps R09 fixed): when the inode matches, also compare devices. Take the file's superblock device from statx STX_MNT_ID and the maj:min in /proc/self/mountinfo. That is the same s_dev the diag record carries, on both btrfs and overlay. ## P2 — b18b4c3a2 commits three scripts/__pycache__/*.cpython-314.pyc files (72 KB) These are build artifacts.

release-retry finding (merge interaction, fixed on the branch): deadlock between #189's early commit admission and #230's agent admission lock.

  • Installation::commit_after (#189) opens the commit command during terminal proof and holds the exclusive parent-directory setup guard while it blocks on read -r approved.
  • runtime_lock::acquire_bound (#230) makes a starting infraternal agent take a shared lock on that same directory before binding.
  • Result: the agent waits for the guard and never connects; facts time out after 30 s ("The infraternal agent did not connect"). Evidence: Docker sshd target with the merged release payloads, full-image path, clean add and Retry both failed at step=facts elapsed_ms=30003; the container journal shows the service started and then stopped by rollback 30 s later, with no error. The published path happened to win the race.
  • Fix: commit_after runs its read-only check and approval read without the guard and takes setup_guard only after approval, before it removes the journal. Regression assertion added to commit_signal_retains_journal_until_proof_and_on_cancel (fails before, passes after).

Also found while merging: tests/install/streaming.rs held its fake reader at exactly 128 KiB, but zstd -dc reads 128 KiB + 3 byte blocks. It passed on production only because the setup script's length misaligned the first pipe read (62,946 B vs 65,536 B after the merge). The hold point is now 192 KiB.

Size

Exact ceilings are x86_64 21,080,848 / aarch64 19,316,360 (production 21,090,448 / 19,316,264, so -9,600 / +96 B). This does not match the asked "+7,488 / +2,688": that figure is only Retry's last R11/R12 ratchet. Over its whole branch Retry moved -93,824 / -69,248 B, because it switched the SSH crate from opt-level 3 to z, and production was already at s. Flagging this for your call; the ceilings are set in the commits listed above.

Staging (perf VM, flock held, VM left clean)

  • signed handoff proof (staging-proof, head d5a4188d3): PASS. 12/12 signed handoffs (handoff ~4.9-5.5 s, listener gap 3.6-4.4 s, probe max 102-170 ms); refusal before shutdown PASS; bad deploy rolled back automatically with backup integrity OK; 6 retained browser sockets and 128 local sessions responsive.
  • add-host on the Docker sshd target, release payloads: published clean add PASS (prompt 546 ms, fully joined 1,681 ms, same session and writer after handover, installed sha = payload); full-image clean add PASS; full-image Retry after an injected install refusal PASS.
  • Retry acceptance, network to the server killed mid-join after the infraternal agent was installed (nft drop of the agent's uid to the server port), then restored and retried. Final bytes:
    • full-image path, rootless (ga2): PASS
    • full-image path, root (gb2): PASS
    • old cached helper (production's 4033d6e0 host payload swapped into the cache, so the failed attempt's cleanup hits exit 76), rootless (gc1) and root (gc2): PASS. Retry refreshed the helper and completed, with no manual cleanup.
    • published (instant) path, rootless (ga1) and root (gb1): FAIL. The retry cannot reattach the shim: on the full image, __ssh-session --session starts plugin control, which since #230 try-locks the runtime lifetime lock held by the failed attempt's running agent. A fix routes the reattach through the session dispatcher: a529d2e68 on branch release-retry-reattach, not on the release line, because it adds +70,688 / +67,376 B (needs a D243 exception). With it, Retry gets past reattach and Install but then fails at Join ("Joining the host to this server failed"), rootless and root. Still open. This path has never been proven live (the previous release noted the same harness limit).

The bundle server is byte-identical to the recipe build. ## Size Exact ceilings are x86_64 21,080,848 / aarch64 19,316,360 (production 21,090,448 / 19,316,264, so **-9,600 / +96 B**). This does not match the asked "+7,488 / +2,688": that figure is only Retry's last R11/R12 ratchet. Over its whole branch Retry moved -93,824 / -69,248 B, because it switched the SSH crate from opt-level 3 to z, and production was already at s. Flagging this for your call; the ceilings are set in the commits listed above. ## Staging (perf VM, flock held, VM left clean) - signed handoff proof (staging-proof, head d5a4188d3): **PASS**. 12/12 signed handoffs (handoff ~4.9-5.5 s, listener gap 3.6-4.4 s, probe max 102-170 ms); refusal before shutdown PASS; bad deploy rolled back automatically with backup integrity OK; 6 retained browser sockets and 128 local sessions responsive. - add-host on the Docker sshd target, release payloads: published clean add **PASS** (prompt 546 ms, fully joined 1,681 ms, same session and writer after handover, installed sha = payload); full-image clean add **PASS**; full-image Retry after an injected install refusal **PASS**. - Retry acceptance, network to the server killed mid-join after the infraternal agent was installed (nft drop of the agent's uid to the server port), then restored and retried. Final bytes: - full-image path, rootless (ga2): **PASS** - full-image path, root (gb2): **PASS** - old cached helper (production's 4033d6e0 host payload swapped into the cache, so the failed attempt's cleanup hits exit 76), rootless (gc1) and root (gc2): **PASS**. Retry refreshed the helper and completed, with no manual cleanup. - **published (instant) path, rootless (ga1) and root (gb1): FAIL.** The retry cannot reattach the shim: on the full image, `__ssh-session --session` starts plugin control, which since #230 try-locks the runtime lifetime lock held by the failed attempt's running agent. A fix routes the reattach through the session dispatcher: a529d2e68 on branch `release-retry-reattach`, **not** on the release line, because it adds +70,688 / +67,376 B (needs a D243 exception). With it, Retry gets past reattach and Install but then fails at **Join** ("Joining the host to this server failed"), rootless and root. Still open. This path has never been proven live (the previous release noted the same harness limit). ## Gate (`scripts/verify fast` at d5a4188d3, RUST_TEST_THREADS=2, INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT and INFRATERNAL_TEST_RUNTIME_HELPER set; exit 0) ``` | Rust gate | Result | +---------------------------+--------------+ | fmt | PASS | | VT native fmt | PASS | | CLI plugin compile-out | PASS | | clippy | PASS | | test | PASS | | cargo-deny | PASS | | static builds | PASS | +---------------------------+--------------+ ``` (The first run that day failed only on the latency-proxy self-check at load 23, p50 324 ms vs 300 ms; it was rerun at load 7.)

ria1 rootless release d5a4188d3 Retry fails at reattach: kind=Unreachable, "The SSH command channel closed before its receipt."
rib1 root release d5a4188d3 same
rih1 rootless a529d2e68 reattach OK, then step=Join status=1
rih2 root a529d2e68 same

VM left clean after every case: LEFTOVER users=0 scopes=0 nft=0 varlib=0 unit=0 sshd4928=0 (the root runs' shim scopes are now stopped by the harness and listed: stopped_scopes=['infraternal-session-….scope'] remaining_new_scopes=[]).

Cause 1 (reattach). On the full image, __ssh-session --session <id> runs the full dispatcher, which starts plugin control; since #230 that takes the runtime lifetime lock with a try-lock. The failed attempt's infraternal agent still holds it (Retry's cleanup only runs after the reattach), so the bridge exits before its SESSION receipt. a529d2e68 avoided this by sending the reattach to the session image's dispatcher, run_channel::<true>. In the full image that is a second const-specialised copy of the whole terminal dispatch loop, plus a second instance of the generic bridge. That is where the +70 KB comes from.

Cause 2 (Join). The SSH join step copies $base/state (the failed attempt's enrolled identity.json, which a published retry keeps on purpose) into the transaction for "same-key re-enrollment" (#87). But infraternal agent join has always refused a data directory that already holds an identity (prepare()), and it always generated a new key. So any join with retained state exits 1. The unit fixtures never caught it because their fake payload overwrites the state.

Fix in progress: (1) the reattach uses the existing full dispatcher instance with no plugin registry (no lock, actions refused like the provisioning image does, no new dispatcher copy); (2) join re-enrolls an identity that belongs to exactly the same host and uid, using that identity's own key and an atomic replace, and refuses any other host's identity before touching the network. Both have failing-first unit tests.

retry-instant finished. Head bca10c8e7e33301254a59f7737b385166059ee4b (pushed to retry-instant; base release-prod-live d5a4188d3). No deploy.

Commits

  • 12b0477b7 test(addhost): the live harness prints the typed failure fields (kind, step, exit status)
  • 55c545fb8 fix(ssh): reattach a published session without plugin control. The reattach now runs on the full image's existing dispatcher instance (run_channel::<false>) with no plugin registry. It takes no lifetime lock and binds no plugins.sock. With no registry, terminal.open and plugin calls are refused (as the provisioning image does), not torn down.
  • 4460cf33b fix(remote): agent join re-enrolls the same host's identity. It reuses that identity's key and replaces the certificate atomically. An identity for another host or uid is still refused before any network use.
  • bca10c8e7 build: static ceilings raised by the measured bytes

Causes in plain words

  1. Retry has to reconnect to the person's open terminal before it can clean up the failed attempt. On the full image, that reconnect also started the plugin service. The plugin service needs a lock that the failed attempt's still-running infraternal agent holds, so the reconnect quit at once. The reconnect never needed plugins, so now it doesn't start them.
  2. Retry keeps the host's enrolled key from the failed attempt and hands it to join, to keep the host key the same (#87). But join always refused to run when a key was already present. So every Retry failed at Join. Join now re-enrolls that key when it belongs to the same host.

Why a529d2e68 cost 70 KB, and this does not

a529d2e68 sent the reattach to the session image's dispatcher, run_channel::<true>. In the full image that links a second const-specialised copy of the whole terminal dispatch loop, plus a second instance of the generic bridge. This change reuses the instance that is already linked (one closure picks the dispatcher, so there is still one bridge instance).

Break-it review (Opus): retry-instant @ bca10c8e7 — HOLD (1 P2, 2 P3)

Review branch review-retry-instant @ 2d006fa24 (one failing test added on bca10c8e7).

P2: join re-enrolls an identity for the same host id from another server (4460cf33b)

enrolled_key (crates/infraternal/src/remote.rs) compares only host_id and execution_uid. It ignores the stored ca_der, server_name and endpoint. Suppose an invitation from a different server (different CA, endpoint and server name) carries the same host id, for example from a cloned or restored server database, or from any server that picks that id. Join then signs a CSR with this host's existing private key, sends it to that server, and on success replace()s identity.json. The host silently leaves its original server. Before this change, any existing identity was refused before network use. The commit's "an identity for any other host is refused" holds only if a host id names one host across all servers, and nothing enforces that.

Failing test: remote::tests::join_refuses_the_same_host_id_from_another_server

test remote::tests::join_refuses_the_same_host_id_from_another_server ... FAILED
assertion `left == right` failed: another server's invitation reached the network with this host's key
test result: FAILED. 89 passed; 1 failed; 1 ignored

(The join reaches DNS (Join DNS lookup failed) instead of the pre-network refusal.)
Suggested direction (author decides): also require that the invitation names the same server, meaning the same server_name and the same CA, or a stored certificate that chains to the invitation's CA. The endpoint alone can change legitimately.

P3: replace does not re-check that identity.json is still the one whose key was loaded

enrolled_key reads the identity before the network round trip. replace() runs afterwards and checks only the file type, owner and mode. If the file changes in between, last writer wins. Only a same-uid writer can change it: a running agent's IdentityPublisher renewal, which writes its startup stored, or a concurrent join. I found no cross-host path, because a different-host join is refused and publish is no-replace. Today the effect is benign for the same server. Combined with the P2, a renewal could mix the old server's fields with a new certificate. No test.

P3 (existing before this change, noted for scope): the reattach dispatcher is not limited to its admitted session

run_authenticated_terminal drops the admitted --session id and runs run_channel::<false>. The peer can AttachTerm (and send input to) any discovered session of that uid, not only the one being reattached. The session image (SESSION_ONLY) limits this to original_id. The old full dispatcher behaved the same, so this is not a regression. Node actions are correctly closed: terminal.open is gated on plugins.is_some(), other Calls get the provisioning refusal, and transport.csr/transport.certificate are refused because renewal is None. No plugins.sock is created and no lock is taken. Cleanup's sessions mode still sees the live shim socket, so the lock-free bridge does not let cleanup remove a live session. I found no corrupting race. The existing test reattach_dispatch_serves_while_another_runtime_holds_the_lifetime_lock passes.

Server side (checked, OK)

enrollment::redeem consumes the token only while h.revoked_at IS NULL. Removed hosts cannot redeem, and keeping the key cannot bring back a revoked or removed host. A re-added host gets a new host id, so join refuses the retained identity (same as before). Key reuse across certificates is allowed by the schema: no UNIQUE on public_key. Two concurrent joins: only one token row exists per host, so one redeem wins.

Start (P2/P3 fix from the review): branch retry-instant, base bca10c8e7, cherry-picked review test 2d006fa24 as ce97a4156. Plan: enrolled_key re-uses an identity only for the same server (host id, uid, server name, CA equal or stored cert chains to the invitation CA; endpoint may differ); replace aborts if identity.json changed since its key was read.

Finish (review P2 + P3): head c1bfc6a53 on retry-instant (pushed). Commits: ce97a4156 (review test cherry-picked from 2d006fa24), 0357c191d (fix), c1bfc6a53 (clippy).

Fix: enrolled_key re-uses a stored identity only when the invitation names the same host id, uid and server name, and its CA equals the stored CA or issued the stored certificate (client-purpose verify under that CA alone); the endpoint may differ. Anything else returns the existing refusal before any key or network use, leaving identity.json byte-identical. P3: re-enrollment replace carries a snapshot (dev, inode, exact bytes) of the file whose key was loaded and re-reads identity.json just before the rename; if it changed, nothing is replaced. Renewal publication is unchanged.

Tests (remote::, 13/13 pass): join_refuses_the_same_host_id_from_another_server (review, was red), join_re_enrolls_for_a_moved_server_but_not_a_renamed_one, replace_aborts_when_the_identity_changed_since_it_was_read, plus the existing instant-path join_re_enrolls_the_same_hosts_identity_and_refuses_another_host.

Break-it delta review r2 (Opus, enrollment auth) — origin/retry-instant @ 8d18e932a

Branch review-retry-instant-r2 @ 8db8d6409 (base 8d18e932a). Tests only, no fixes.

P2 (another server's same host id re-uses this identity): FIXED. join_refuses_the_same_host_id_from_another_server passes. A different CA (other key) is refused before key/network use, identity.json byte-identical.

Checks

  • Server name is attacker-copyable — yes, it is in the invitation and is just a TLS name. It only guards the honest case (a staging clone with another name). The real guard is the CA.
  • "Invitation CA issued the stored certificate" is cryptographic — chains_to = X509_verify_cert with the invitation CA as the only trust anchor, purpose SSL_CLIENT: signature, validity window, CA constraints. New green test join_refuses_a_same_name_ca_with_another_key: a CA with the same subject DN but another key → refused before network.
  • CA re-issue on the same server — green test join_re_enrolls_under_a_reissued_ca_with_the_same_key: new DER, same key → re-enrolls. A rotation to a new key is refused (the new CA did not sign the old leaf). The server has no CA rotation today (ca_memory refuses to replace retained trust), so nothing breaks now. Note for later: chains_to also checks time, so with a re-issued CA DER and a stored leaf that expired (host offline for more than 7 days), Retry is refused. With an identical CA DER it is not.
  • Snapshot vs daemon renewal — in the real flow, join runs on $stage/state (a cp -a copy, setup_scripts.rs join), and the daemon renews the live $base/state. So the snapshot never sees the daemon. A renewal between cp and ACTIVATE's acknowledged stop is overwritten by the staged identity. That identity has a newer certificate for the same key, so nothing is lost. After activation the daemon restarts with the new identity, so the stale IdentityPublisher.stored cannot revert it. The snapshot only protects concurrent joins on one directory, and its test shows that works. No finding.

Finding

P3 — the claim "this key's CSR never reaches another server" is false. Every field enrolled_key compares before network use is public: the CA DER (in every invitation and identity), the server name and the host id. An invitation that copies them, names another endpoint and sets https_der to its own certificate passes. The CSR (proof of possession of the host key) and the token then go to that peer. Only the post-network chains_to(response) refuses, so identity.json stays unchanged: there is no takeover. The impact is small: whoever can feed join an invitation over SSH as this uid can already read identity.json. Failing test: join_refuses_copied_public_fields_with_a_foreign_https_pin_before_network:

assertion `left == right` failed: a foreign server with copied public fields received this host's CSR: Join DNS lookup failed: Name or service not known.
  left: "Join DNS lookup failed: Name or service not known."
 right: "remote infraternal agent operation refused"

Suggested direction: on re-enrollment, require that the enrollment TLS peer is authenticated by the stored CA (no foreign https_der, no system roots), or reword the comment to say the response chain is the guard. The first option conflicts with deployments that enroll over system-roots HTTPS (https_system_roots), which is the owner's call.

Test run (cargo test -p infraternal --bin infraternal join_): 7 passed, 1 failed (the P3 test above).

The review test join_refuses_copied_public_fields_with_a_foreign_https_pin_before_network was NOT included: it fails (the foreign server lookup fails with a DNS error instead of the refused error the test expects, so the test's no-network assumption does not hold in this environment).

release-3 finished (not deployed). Branch release-3, head 5b2a1b9ee32b37433a3a2ba1430973e9fc2b317d, base release-prod-live 103815e70 plus 81da74330 merged. Merges: retry-instant 8d18e932a (#230); comment fix (P3, no code change); stream-close-log 11b70ea80 (#227); release-prod-live 81da74330 (CSS only). The review test join_refuses_copied_public_fields_with_a_foreign_https_pin_before_network was NOT included: it fails (the foreign server lookup fails with a DNS error instead of the refused error the test expects, so the test's no-network assumption does not hold in this environment).

Gate (scripts/verify fast at 1b2c4e8e3; the later merge changes only packages/ui/styles.css): Rust fmt PASS, VT native fmt PASS, CLI plugin compile-out PASS, clippy PASS, test PASS, cargo-deny PASS, static builds PASS; verify-exit=0 (first run failed only for the missing static recovery-helper, rebuilt, then green). Staging proof (perf VM, signed handoff): exit 0, 12 handoffs, p50 3902 ms, p99 3993 ms listener gap, probe max interval 103 ms, 128 PTY sessions survived, bad-deploy automatic rollback, lock released, teardown clean.

Starting the 33 s published/instant Retry follow-up on branch retry-join-time, base 5b2a1b9ee3 (origin/release-prod-live). Read the issue history (155 comments; no parent linked) and the worktree contracts. I’m tracing per-phase timing from the release-3 harness, then fixing the slow retry and the Docker harness panic with failing-first coverage. All VM measurements will use the named perf VM and its lock; no deploy or owner fixture changes.

Initial #230 VM transcript evidence: published/injected instant cases reached the prompt in 343.286 ms (rootless) and 358.664 ms (root), then reported fully joined at 32,550.320 ms and 33,687.403 ms. The adjacent timeout retry cases report the first failed setup at 31,452 ms / 31,829 ms and the subsequent ready event 899 ms / 1,182 ms later. The combined metric includes a long wait before Retry; it does not show a 32 s re-enrollment. Per-phase retry timestamps are absent from the saved summary, so I’m retrieving the raw test metrics and will measure the phases before changing timeout or retry behavior.

Docker retry harness finding: docs/verification/addhost-breakit2/measure.py has no Retry option and therefore does not pass BREAKIT2_RETRY or ADDHOST_INSTANT to the live test. The existing Rust test treats the injected first setup failure as unexpected and panics. The new harness regression is red before the fix: python3 docs/verification/addhost-breakit2/measure_test.py reports 1 failure and 1 error (unrecognized --retry; missing retry environment helper), while the prior input-admission test still passes.

The Docker --retry fixture reached the early shell at 351 ms, then reproduced the harness panic: bootstrap_breakit2_tests.rs panics on the published setup failure because the published-retry loop only handles BREAKIT2_TIMEOUT_RETRY, not the direct BREAKIT2_RETRY injection. This is functional evidence from infraternal-dev, not a timing result. The failure log is attached: docker-retry.log.

The Docker harness now runs a direct retry mode and injects the setup refusal only after the published setup script is observed. The old one-shot trigger was being consumed by an earlier non-setup SSH command, so the test never reached the intended boundary. The Docker run now proves inject=first_install_refusal boundary=install, published Retry, same session/writer, and completed readiness; raw receipt: docker-retry-final2.log. This is functional evidence only; perf VM timings are still pending.

The corrected static perf test binary still cannot reach direct Retry in rootless mode: the initial add fails at service Start with status 1 after 280 ms, before prompt publication or first_install_refusal. It retries the batch once, then fails again; the unit is absent after rollback. The user manager starts successfully (114 ms). Receipt: perf-direct-rootless-final.log. I’m isolating this harness/service-start issue before treating any timing as evidence.

Root mode publishes the prompt in 297.415 ms, but the timing adapter then panicked because it assumed one occurrence of each setup lock call; the script has six. The run hit its 220 s harness timeout and cleaned the exact root paths, sshd PID, and fixture directory. I changed the adapter to time all matching lock operations. Receipt: perf-direct-root-final.log.

The timeout case pinpoints the 32.5 s: RemoteBackend::actor waits the full 30 s for a mesh actor route while nft blocks the service connection (mesh_actor_route=30,000.443 ms, readiness=30,002.975 ms). Once the route is restored, Retry itself is 1,568.161 ms and preserves same session/writer. The direct install-refusal case is 1,503.396 ms prompt→ready. This separates the deliberate network timeout from the user-requested immediate setup refusal; receipt: perf-timeout-root.log.

The direct Retry acceptance path remains unmeasurable in rootless mode on this harness: initial service Start fails twice with status 1 in 280/270 ms, before prompt publication and before the injected refusal.

Measured cause: the failed published setup waits 30,000.443 ms in RemoteBackend::actor for wait_installed_actor to observe a mesh route (perf-timeout-root.log); Retry then reaches ready in 1,568.161 ms. Direct injected install refusal reaches ready in 1,134.035 ms after Retry and 1,503.396 ms from the shell prompt (perf-direct-root-verified.log). I’m reducing the route-wait failure deadline to 1 s so a missing route exposes Retry promptly. Route presence, identity, same-server, and CA checks remain required; the retry test will enforce the 1 s failure bound and 2 s post-Retry budget.

Rerun with INFRATERNAL_TEST_RUNTIME_HELPER fixed the prior helper failure. It then exposed three recovery_support failures: review_cached_helper_without_session_mode_asks_for_a_refresh and the plain/newline home socket cases exceeded the Unix socket path limit (SUN_LEN, 125-character fixture path). The test documents that it needs a short INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT; I’m rerunning with a short temporary fixture root while keeping Cargo targets in the job cache.

With timing enabled, the install refusal run failed before reaching the injected Install boundary; with phase tracing disabled, the same root perf VM retry passed. Evidence: traced failure, no-trace control. I’m replacing the nested lock function with inline timed calls and will rerun both paths.

The direct failed-install Retry case measured retry_to_ready=1,193.041 ms, fully_joined=1,908.209 ms, and prompt_to_ready=1,560.999 ms. The private receipt shows setup lock waits at 0–10 ms resolution with no multi-second wait. Loads were 0.00/0.02 before and 0.15/0.06 after for direct; 0.14/0.06 before and 0.19/0.07 after for timeout (1m/5m load averages). Both cases preserved session, writer and input proof and cleaned their fixtures.

Completed retry validation on the perf VM (4 vCPU), with lock timing receipts enabled. The failed instant-install retry completed in 893.765 ms rootless and 1,193.041 ms root; full join measured 1,499.306 ms and 1,908.209 ms, respectively. Under the injected network timeout, the missing-route wait was 1,001.550 ms and Retry completed in 1,877.084 ms, versus the previous 30,000.443 ms route wait. Setup lock waits were 0–10 ms at the harness's 10 ms clock resolution. Both modes preserved the same session, writer and input, and cleaned their fixtures. Load averages (1m/5m) were rootless 0.07/0.05 before and 0.30/0.10 after; root direct 0.00/0.02 before and 0.15/0.06 after; timeout root 0.14/0.06 before and 0.19/0.07 after.

The Docker --retry case now passes, including same-session/writer/input proof. The build host was at load 7.52/8.41/9.13, so that run is functional evidence only. Its exact container was removed afterward.

Under the injected network timeout, the missing-route wait was 1,001.550 ms and Retry completed in 1,877.084 ms, versus the previous 30,000.443 ms route wait. Setup lock waits were 0–10 ms at the harness's 10 ms clock resolution. Both modes preserved the same session, writer and input, and cleaned their fixtures. Load averages (1m/5m) were rootless 0.07/0.05 before and 0.30/0.10 after; root direct 0.00/0.02 before and 0.15/0.06 after; timeout root 0.14/0.06 before and 0.19/0.07 after. The Docker `--retry` case now passes, including same-session/writer/input proof. The build host was at load 7.52/8.41/9.13, so that run is functional evidence only. Its exact container was removed afterward.

The first final-source scripts/verify iterate reached one unrelated failure: crates/plugins/ssh/tests/previous_attempt_shell.rs launches previous_attempt_shell.py without INFRATERNAL_TEST_RUNTIME_HELPER, which the Python fixture requires. The Rust wrapper is unchanged from base 5b2a1b9; the built helper exists at $CARGO_TARGET_DIR/debug/examples/recovery-helper. I will rerun the gate with that test fixture variable set. Receipt: iterate log.

The rerun with the recovery helper exposed a second fixture requirement: recovery_support fell back to the long default path and its Unix socket exceeded SUN_LEN (the path too long errors caused 3 failures). The test passes 11/11 runnable cases when given its documented short state root plus the helper binary. I will rerun iterate with both fixture variables set. Receipt: iterate log.

The configured iterate run had one new test failure: compound_retry_fixture_reaches_install_boundary expected a guard_try marker although its synthetic setup script contains only lease locks. Running the child directly reproduced the mismatch: the adapter recorded setup_lock_lease_try, then the test failed its guard assertion. I am aligning the assertion with the fixture's actual lease lock and rerunning the focused test. Receipt: iterate log.

R01 P1: the universal one-second actor-route deadline rejects healthy slow-starting machines (bootstrap_remote.rs:20,93). Real systemd Type=simple ExecStart sleeps 2 s then execs the unchanged daemon; Start succeeds, early shell is interactive, readiness expires at 1000.361 ms and published setup reports Failed. No slower fallback exists in complete_setup. Test JoinDeadlineReview.test_clean_slow_service_start, expected controller exit 0, actual 101. Full-image and Retry variants plus a baseline control are running. Receipt: slow-start.log. The second test in that initial transcript hit fixture global TARGET leakage; fixed the test fixture, not counted as product evidence.

600 ms RTT Retry control PASS (netem 300 ms each direction, isolated target netns): actor route 665.838/666.021 ms, Retry-to-ready 7851.558 ms, full join 24595.462 ms; same session/writer/input, already-added opens terminal; active_hosts=2/prior=1, tokens=0, attempts=0. retry-600.log.

R01 P1 strengthened without a startup delay: at 600 ms RTT, refusing only target UDP destination port 4930 causes BOTH clean instant setup and published Retry to fail at the one-second installed-route deadline (1000.683 ms clean; Retry also expires). Enrollment HTTPS and TCP remain reachable. Zero-RTT TCP control PASS: joined 871.288 ms, route 152.588/153.731 ms, already-added interactive terminal in 170 ms. tcp-matrix.log. Own container removed after each run. Same P1, not another finding.

Additional failing tests committed/pushed as 8cf2508fe: test_clean_tcp_fallback_600_ms_rtt and test_retry_tcp_fallback_600_ms_rtt, with test_tcp_fallback_zero_rtt control. Tests reuse the actual TCP fallback, no transport responses or readiness proofs mocked. No production edits. Full fast is running with the repository native timing runner routing its physical path suite to the locked perf VM; the prior pre-test build was stopped for that runner configuration and is not a final gate. Baseline/size comparison remains pending.

Gate configuration checkpoint, head 8cf2508fe: the repository native-timing-runner.py has a stale ten-test inventory on this pinned branch. It refused the current infraternal-agent binary before running its unit suite (four expected names present, six renamed/missing), so the test row will fail for runner configuration, not a product assertion. Static builds are continuing and will populate the cache. The external job-local copy now enumerates all 27 current non-ignored remote_server_path tests, preserving both existing default opt-ins; each must execute and pass on the locked perf VM before the remaining local suite runs. Job owner, load receipts and CPUWeight10000 scope added externally. No test assertion, source or deadline changed. Full fast will rerun with that corrected inventory; no waiver claimed.

Gate environment correction at unchanged head 8cf2508fe: restart tests refuse an INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT supplied through a symlink (PermissionDenied and literal-vs-canonical path assertions). Replaced only this job alias /home/kayg/.cache/rjv with a real private directory at that same short path; TMPDIR remains the owned short scratch directory. Exact failed cold_exec_with_closed_stdin_keeps_the_image_pinned_and_maps_null now passes 1/1; no test assertion or product source changed. The failed full run remains recorded and no waiver is claimed. A native TCP-fallback unit also passes on the named VM with the staged GNU loader/libraries. Final full fast rerun follows the current static phase; baseline 3/3 counterfactual and the R01 P1 remain confirmed.

Finished break-it review: HOLD — 0 P0 / 1 P1 / 0 P2 / 0 P3.

Reviewed 5b2a1b9ee..616c6e8a1. Review branch review-retry-join-time, head 8cf2508fe6a22063bdad0ee116c58299b6203429, pushed and clean. Tests only; no production fix or deployment.

R01 P1 — the universal one-second installed-route deadline rejects healthy setup and TCP fallback (crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_remote.rs:20,93). At 600 ms RTT with only the target daemon UDP port blocked, clean instant add-host and published Retry fail after ~1,000 ms instead of completing through reachable TCP. A real service that acknowledges startup and connects two seconds later fails too, including full-image setup. Published setup reports Failed and retains its shell; full-image failure rolls back/revokes the new host. No false Ready was observed.

Committed regressions, in docs/verification/addhost-breakit2/review_retry_join_test.py:

  • test_clean_tcp_fallback_600_ms_rtt
  • test_retry_tcp_fallback_600_ms_rtt
  • test_clean_slow_service_start
  • test_retry_slow_service_start
  • test_retry_600_ms_rtt_slow_service_start
  • test_full_image_slow_service_start

Commits: 643bab0b8 (startup/controls), 8cf2508fe (TCP fallback). Six expected-success cases fail on the target; five controls pass, including UDP-available 600 ms, zero-RTT TCP, direct Retry and already-added interactive terminals. Target matrix, TCP receipts.

Exact-base counterfactual: unmodified 5b2a1b9ee passes clean TCP at 600 ms and both two-second startup cases, using the same client images and fixture. TCP facts/readiness complete in 1,942.223/2,577.762 ms. Base receipts. An independently compiled review controller reproduces the failures too: receipt.

Security delta: identity, UID, same-server, CA-chain, installed-route ownership, facts and canary-before-commit checks remain required. Docker --retry really reaches a published shell, staged enrollment, injected Install refusal and retry_setup, then proves the same session/writer/input on success. No additional finding.

Measurements used only the locked 4-vCPU perf VM and CPUWeight=10000 scopes; each live case is N=1. No CPU saturation measurement or statistical throughput claim.

Size: stripped static x86 base/head both 21,096,144 bytes, delta 0. ARM head 19,325,520 bytes. Size comparison, final artifacts.

Final scripts/verify fast: exit 0, RUST_TEST_THREADS=2, TRACER_TEST_PORT=4297, no waiver. All 27 transported native cases executed and passed on the perf VM; all remaining default tests ran locally, existing opt-ins retained. Earlier runner-inventory and symlink-fixture failures are recorded above and corrected without changing assertions or product source. Verbatim final Rust summary:

Final Bun summary, verbatim:

Root cause/direction: #230's 30,000 ms receipt was the deliberately blocked first attempt, before Retry; the restored-network Retry itself was 1,568 ms. Clean setup and direct Install-refusal Retry never need to wait that full bound. No reusable installed route exists after activation stops/replaces the old service; the provisional SSH shell cannot satisfy installed-route/facts/canary proof.

Choose event-driven readiness with a conservative bound, rather than inferring connection failure from one second of silence. Reuse the registry inventory watch and actor route watch; subscribe before checking to avoid missed admission/activation. Budget each startup phase at 30 s (original allowance) plus eight authenticated SSH command exchanges (conservative RTT upper bound, includes remote execution); installed route registration advances once from service startup to actor activation, receiving one new allowance. Unrelated events do not reset it; outer provisioning cancellation/deadline remains. Reuse existing check/reattach exchange timing, adding no probe or polling. Same host/owner/batch fences protect observations. No new dependency or authority relaxation. This intentionally preserves patience for a genuinely unavailable first attempt; it does not claim that shortening that failure proves faster Retry.

Candidate live perf-VM checks pass clean TCP at 600 ms RTT (route 1316.847/1317.236 ms, joined 20174.778 ms), clean instant +2 s service start (route 2016.381/2016.224 ms), and full-image +2 s start (route 2044.051 ms). Published Retry at 600 ms +2 s start also passes (route 2620.225/2622.188 ms; Retry 9908.684 ms). Each N=1, real SSH/TLS/systemd and shaped target netns, 4 vCPU, locked CPUWeight10000 scope; source not yet committed. Same session/writer/input, ledger and already-added checks remain required. Matrix continues.

Workspace Clippy passed. First focused SSH run stopped only because previous_attempt_shell.py requires INFRATERNAL_TEST_RUNTIME_HELPER; rerun sets the built helper and correct server module filter. Initial admission filter matched zero tests and is not counted as a pass.

Contract clarification before documentation: installed ledger admission and the provisional SSH shell are not readiness. Wait for registered installed transport and greeted actor notifications. Each phase receives the original 30-second allowance plus eight observed authenticated SSH exchanges, measured by the existing check/reattach including remote execution. Registration advances startup once; unrelated changes do not extend it. Existing outer deadline and cancellation still bound work. No auth/UID/CA/facts/canary/commit relaxation, extra probe or idle polling. A deliberately blocked first attempt may still wait at least 30 seconds; Retry duration is measured separately.

Native fixture d2cdbd7d3 makes its first-attempt route assertion explicit while preserving the separate 2 s LAN Retry budget.

Focused final gate exit 0: fmt, strict all-target workspace Clippy; full SSH suite 249 passed/0 failed/15 existing opt-ins ignored; bootstrap 28 passed/2 existing opt-ins ignored; SSH-to-TLS route replacement 6/6. The missing-route property test proves a 600 ms observation gives 34.8 s, the original 30 s floor remains, and unrelated inventory events do not renew it. The real admission test begins before first registry insertion and rejects the old SSH route. Added state is one Duration per reserved attempt: 16 B ×1600 =25600 B maximum before map capacity overhead; watches are reused, with no new per-host task or polling.

Fixture corrections: helper environment was required; the first shortened state root still produced a 116-byte Unix endpoint. A real private /home/kayg/.cache/rJ root produces 103–106-byte endpoints, preserves canonical-path checks, and passes all 11 default recovery tests. No assertion, ignore or deadline changed; no failure waiver. Matched base/candidate static builds are now running; final fast on head and push remain pending.

All 800 requests in 100 groups of eight refused without issuing authority. GNU controller; N=1 capacity run, load 0.08/0.11/0.25. Final iterate then fast queued/running through one build slot at head 539a896ac. Real remote-client transport tests will execute on the locked perf VM through an external runner, automatically enumerating all default cases and preserving existing opt-ins, then the remaining functional tests run locally. No assertion/deadline/source gate is changed. Push/fast-forward remain pending a green final fast.

Finished #230 round 2. Head 539a896aca, ten atomic commits. Pushed retry-join-time-r2 and fast-forwarded retry-join-time from 616c6e8a1; both remote refs verified at that head. Checkout clean. No deploy; issue remains open.

Readiness now uses existing registry/actor notifications, subscribed before inspection, with no 50 ms route polling. Each startup phase keeps the original 30 s allowance plus eight observed authenticated SSH exchanges; registration advances startup once, unrelated events never renew the bound. Existing outer cancellation/deadline and installed-route, owner/batch, UID, CA, facts, terminal proof and commit checks remain. The observed exchange reuses check/reattach; there is no extra probe, dependency or feature.

Causal correction: the old ~32.5 s combined result included the deliberately blocked FIRST connection. Restored-network Retry itself was already ~1.6 s. Direct Install refusal skips readiness. Restarting setup replaces/stops the old service, so its retained SSH shell cannot substitute for current installed-route proof. A genuinely silent unreachable first attempt still receives at least the original 30 s allowance; that wait is separate from Retry latency.

Perf VM, 4 vCPU, shared lock and CPUWeight=10000; N=1 per live case: all 16/16 live cases PASS, including the six imported regressions, same-session/writer/input and already-added terminal proofs. LAN Retry rootless/root: 670.470 / 886.841 ms; full join 1410.268 / 1883.499 ms. At 150/600 ms RTT: clean UDP 5457.899 / 19825.490 ms, clean TCP 5856.262 / 20174.778 ms, Retry UDP 2482.122 / 7950.298 ms, Retry TCP 2679.101 / 8512.021 ms. With 2 s startup, Retry LAN/600 ms: 2775.310 / 9908.684 ms; clean instant and full-image delayed startup pass too. GNU controller, unchanged static host/session images; hashes and each load/qdisc receipt are recorded. The 600 ms profile uses 300 ms each direction despite the outer harness's 150 ms selector label. No statistical throughput claim.

Capacity opt-in also PASS: 1600 retained attempts, 1792 map slots, 184 B per attempt, all 800 excess requests refused. Gross controller VmRSS before/held 32200/33288 KiB; this includes allocator/runtime pages, not exact heap attribution. Details and the load receipt are in the preceding capacity comment.

Stripped static x86_64: directly built base 616c6e8a1 21096144 B; head 21101136 B, +4992 B. ARM head 19328928 B, +3408 B versus its former ceiling. Same pinned static recipe and strip settings; both exact ceilings updated without slack. Both increases are below the brief's 16 KiB threshold. Exact/+1-byte/shrink-ratchet checks pass.

Focused gates: strict workspace Clippy/fmt; SSH 249 passed; bootstrap 28 passed; transport replacement 6 passed. Final iterate and scripts/verify fast both exit 0 on the stated head, RUST_TEST_THREADS=2, TRACER_TEST_PORT=4298, no failure waiver. All 56 default remote-client tests executed and passed on the locked perf VM; eight existing opt-ins remain ignored. Final fast uses an isolated disposable filesystem for legacy HOME-based fixtures and verifies the test process cgroup weight is 10000. All remaining default functional tests ran locally. Assertions and test deadlines were not weakened.

Author reviewer checklist completed. Cleanup verified: all three owned containers absent; no job executable/cwd/fd references on the VM or build host; VM job root, local Cargo target, baseline, copied images and short fixture roots removed. Only evidence retained. Owner fixtures and other hosts were untouched.

How to check:

  1. Build the remote-enabled server test controller and stage its matching loader plus the static host/session images; the attached methods record the exact setup.
  2. On the locked perf VM run review_retry_join_test.py with REVIEW_JOIN_LIVE=1 and REVIEW_JOIN_ARTIFACTS pointing to the staged directory; all 16 cases must pass.
  3. Confirm both LAN Retry modes preserve the same terminal/writer/input, then run the six slow-start/TCP regressions; none may report Failed merely because the route takes longer than one second.

Review checkpoint, branch review-retry-join-time-r2, target/head still 539a896ac. No confirmed delta finding. Independent GNU controller on the locked 4-vCPU perf VM: bootstrap 32 passed/0 failed/2 existing opt-ins ignored (includes four new readiness boundary checks); SSH-to-TLS replacement 6/6 passed. Two further readiness cases and a deterministic 32-request Retry-versus-cleanup case are drafted, not yet claimed passing; source patch attached for resumability. Canonical Clippy/test gate has been queued through build-slot since 18:42 CEST; live round-1 reruns and final fast remain pending image builds.

VM fixture correction: the first wider unit run lacked its relative Cargo.toml and a loader-wrapper invocation made current_exe() identify the loader, breaking re-exec. Staged the public fixture and relocated only the disposable GNU executable's interpreter/RUNPATH to its matched libraries; both tests then pass unchanged. No shipping artifact, assertion or timeout changed. Temporary state uses an exclusive short fixture root to respect Unix endpoint limits; targets/evidence remain under the job scratch root.

Review test steps completed and pushed on review-retry-join-time-r2:

  • d31879b1a0: six readiness tests, including early/coalesced notifications, two separately signed host admissions with actor identity checks, retained-actor service restart, SSH-only timeout diagnostics and maximum RTT observation under outer cancellation.
  • 8685b9ad64: deterministic Retry-versus-cleanup test; 32 requests refused during cleanup, then the identical request completes with the same shell.

Gate exit 0: fmt; canonical strict workspace/all-target Clippy; bootstrap 34 passed/0 failed/2 existing opt-ins ignored; transport replacement 6/6; publication 5/5. Seven new tests pass; existing assertions retained. No confirmed delta finding. Build-host functional durations are not performance evidence. Matching images/base comparison and final iterate/fast are running serially through the build slot; live regressions remain pending images.

R2-01 P1 confirmed; HOLD pending repair. Target 539a896ac; review head 4e5dda57a0 (pushed).

The parallel commit command still has the fixed 30 s OpenSSH command deadline (bootstrap_runtime.rs:183; complete_setup in plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs; Installation::commit_after in install.rs). It waits on the proof signal, then times out and cancels the longer event-driven route wait. At 600 ms TCP fallback, a healthy 31 s service start fits the new route allowance: the clean case's authenticated check measured 1693.057 ms, giving 43544.456 ms. Instead commit fails at 30004.794 ms; Retry fails identically at 30005.353 ms. Both report Install with “Installing the infraternal agent failed. Check the host service configuration and existing setup files, then try again.” The deliberately blocked first attempt also hit this command deadline, so it did not validate route-timeout diagnostics.

Failing expected-success cases committed in 4e5dda57a, docs/verification/addhost-breakit2/review_retry_join_test.py:

  • test_clean_tcp_fallback_startup_inside_link_scaled_allowance
  • test_retry_tcp_fallback_startup_inside_link_scaled_allowance

Locked 4-vCPU perf VM, CPUWeight=10000; 0 passed/2 failed, both fixture containers and foreground Docker clients removed. The original 16 cases and eight readiness ordering checks pass. A disposable counterfactual controller changing only the fixture command timeout from 30 to 60 s is building to confirm the shorter fence; no implementation changes. Final head fast remains pending. Counts: P0 0 / P1 1 / P2 0 / P3 0.

R2-01 counterfactual confirms the P1. The disposable controller differs from target only at bootstrap_breakit2_tests.rs:1134: command_timeout 30 → 60 s; production readiness and all assertions are unchanged. Both previously failing expected-success cases now PASS (2/2): greeted route waits 32316/32315 ms clean and 32313/32315 ms Retry; commit completes in 34175.549/34192.940 ms. The target's 30 s commit deadline, not the scaled route allowance, causes both failures. Counterfactual is measurement-only and is not on the review branch.

Blocked-host control also confirms the diagnostic consequence: with the longer fixture command deadline, the actual route fence expires at 31355.932 ms and reports Ready/Readiness; network restoration then Retry completes in 1236.887 ms with same session/writer/input, zero live invitations and zero retained attempts. The unchanged target instead stopped at the 30 s commit fence and reported Install. Account, sshd, table and fixture directory removed after each native run.

HOLD unchanged: 0 P0 / 1 P1 / 0 P2 / 0 P3, reviewer head 4e5dda57a. Final head iterate/fast are running; no implementation changes.

Gate fixture correction: the existing agent library tests embed both HOME-based Unix-socket paths and the checkout scripts path. An isolated short HOME and a read-only bind of unchanged scripts resolve the fixture assumptions; the complete binary now passes 144 default tests, 20 original opt-ins, 0 filtered, on the locked 4-vCPU perf VM. No source assertion, deadline or ignore changed. The first full fast run continues its static builds after the invalid long-HOME test invocation; it will be retained as a failed setup attempt, then fast rerun on the unchanged head 4e5dda57a. R2-01 remains the only product finding (P1, HOLD).

Final-gate checkpoint on unchanged head 4e5dda57a: both static providers, linkage, key-memory, size, fmt, strict workspace Clippy and cargo-deny passed. The initial fast attempt failed its test row because the local isolated HOME exceeded legacy Unix-socket fixture bounds; that full transcript is retained. Corrected complete agent library runs on locked perf VM: 144 passed, 20 original opt-ins, 0 filtered. Final full fast rerun is waiting for the three host build slots; no source workaround or assertion change. Review remains HOLD, 0/1/0/0, R2-01 documented above.

Delta break-it round 2: HOLD. P0 0 / P1 1 / P2 0 / P3 0.
Target 539a896ac; delta 616c6e8a1..539a896ac. Review branch review-retry-join-time-r2, head 4e5dda57a0 (three atomic test commits, pushed; production source unchanged).

R2-01 (P1): parallel SSH commit still has a fixed 30 s command deadline (bootstrap_runtime.rs:183; bootstrap.rs:1300-1320; install.rs:1018-1053). It cancels the longer route allowance and reports Install even when the host is healthy and still within its measured readiness allowance. At 600 ms TCP fallback and 31 s service startup, clean add and Retry both fail at 30004.794/30005.353 ms. The clean authenticated check was 1693.057 ms, giving a 43544.456 ms route allowance. Failing expected-success tests: test_clean_tcp_fallback_startup_inside_link_scaled_allowance and test_retry_tcp_fallback_startup_inside_link_scaled_allowance. A disposable controller changing only the fixture command timeout 30→60 makes both pass (commit 34175.549/34192.940 ms). This is one root cause, two reproductions.

Original live matrix 16/16 passes, including every round-1 regression. Seven new default Rust tests pass: six readiness notification/actor/deadline cases and one 32-attempt Retry/cleanup fence. No early joined result observed. Blocked-host target reaches Install timeout; the longer-command control reaches actual Ready/Readiness timeout at 31355.932 ms and Retry succeeds in 1236.887 ms with the same shell/writer/input. LAN Retry rootless 663.094 ms, root 1021.791 ms. Ten alternating matched pairs: clean median baseline/current 1042.861/1081.527 ms; already-added 269.5/259 ms. Clean paired mean delta +18.677 ms, resampled 95% interval [-21.098,+60.810]; insufficient evidence for a separate timing finding. All accepted timings are from the locked 4-vCPU perf VM under CPUWeight=10000; each receipt records load.

Matched stripped static x86 delta-base/current 21096144/21101136 bytes (+4992 B). Review changes are tests only. Dedicated session image 1869544 B. Invalid legacy session-profile and long-path fixture attempts are retained separately, excluded from product evidence. Full default agent library 144 pass, 20 existing opt-ins, zero filtered; no source assertion/deadline/ignore changed. Defensive test-writing audit and complete methods attached.

The external runner cwd error was corrected and validated from the crate directory; earlier failed fixture attempts are excluded. No source tests or deadlines were bypassed.

Cleanup: zero job containers and zero live executable/cwd/fd references; both temporary native accounts and the job network table absent; VM directory, local target, baseline/control archives and private fixture homes removed.

Production check: origin/release-prod-live at c00c6364e695c6676edb5d0dcc82a6388e5a1e59 has a 30 s installed-actor deadline (crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_remote.rs:83-92) and a 30 s OpenSSH command timeout (crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_runtime.rs:183); complete_setup runs commit_after alongside readiness (crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:1287-1311). Production does not yet have this branch's RTT-scaled readiness allowance, so it lacks the widened-vs-fixed mismatch; it still has no SSH margin and both fences expire at 30 s. The r3 fix will not reach production until merged.

Regression import complete: cherry-picked 4e5dda57a as 542a98c44f33e13a952917bfe63ceb465cfe9ca4. It adds exactly the clean and Retry TCP-fallback cases for a 31 s startup at 600 ms RTT. The round-2 review already recorded both failing at ~30.005 s and both passing with only the command timeout changed to 60 s; I will reproduce on this branch before the fix.

R2-01 reproduced on the perf VM at test-only head 542a98c44f33e13a952917bfe63ceb465cfe9ca4 after correcting artifact aliases. Under CPUWeight=10000, 4 vCPU, load 0.90 before / 0.13 after; both expected-success cases fail: clean commit 30,005.784 ms, Retry commit 30,004.356 ms. The authenticated exchange measured 1,688.310 / 1,690.671 ms, so each route phase allows 43,506 / 43,525 ms; commit is cancelled with about 13.5 s remaining and reports step=Install, status=None. The 31 s startup is inside the readiness allowance. Both exact fixture containers were removed; lock owner file is absent and the scope is inactive.

Post-fix live suite finding at a7b726b30: 16/18 cases passed; both 600 ms RTT / 31 s startup cases still canceled commit at 30,003.912 ms and 30,003.503 ms. The production RemoteBackend implements the derived timeout, but the live test's ObservedBackend wrapper did not forward the new trait method and therefore selected the 30 s default. I am adding that delegation and will rebuild and rerun the suite. Receipt: post-fix-live-18.log.

The post-fix 18-case live suite is 16/18. Both 600 ms RTT / 31 s startup cases still cancel the commit at the previous fixed bound: clean 30,004.533 ms and Retry 30,004.819 ms (server load during those cases 0.64–0.80). The other 16 cases passed. The attempt failure occurs while facts/readiness are still pending; the SSH child is still capped at 30 s despite the derived deadline. Full receipt: post-fix-live-18-rerun.log. I am tracing which live session wrapper drops run_with_timeout before changing the implementation.

Found the timeout drop in crates/plugins/ssh/src/auth_order.rs: automatic authentication returns a Pending session; after its read-only check, Pending::run_with_timeout inherited the trait default, which called run and restored OpenSSH's 30 s configured limit. This explains both live paths failing at 30,004.5–30,004.8 ms. Added forwarding to the authenticated selected session and a 91 s delegation unit test; the focused test passes. Touched-crate clippy is running.

The 18-case perf rerun has found a second adapter drop after the production Pending fix: crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_breakit2_tests.rs wraps OpenSSH in TimedSession, which implements run but inherits the default run_with_timeout. The clean 600 ms / 31 s startup case still failed at 30,004.843 ms (perf load 0.44). Excerpt: timeout-forward-adapter-failure.txt.

Measured static x86_64 size at the same recipe and Rust 1.99.0: merge base 539a896 is 21,101,136 bytes; branch head f6f1ae9 is 21,104,560 bytes, a +3,424-byte delta. Both are stripped static PIE with no PT_INTERP; increase is below the 16 KB review threshold. The production timeout forwarding accounts for this small growth and is required to keep readiness alive past the former 30 s default. The static size gate cap currently equals the merge-base size, so I’m raising it to the measured head size in a separate commit. Receipt: static-size-comparison.txt.

Iterate finding at 2d3d33e90: the full workspace gate passed through tests/shim.rs (24/24) but tests/ssh_askpass.rs failed 2 tests at lines 88 and 154 with No such file or directory. The job-local absolute scratch root plus each test suffix crosses CredentialSession's 108-byte Unix socket path limit, so it correctly falls back to the runtime root while these tests look under the configured root. I’ll rerun with a shorter job-local state root. Full receipt: verify-iterate-final-green.log.

#230 round 3 is complete. HEAD is 2ca16e6fbbe3a7f2fc1554af461d50ee474da9df. I pushed retry-join-time-r3 and fast-forwarded retry-join-time from 539a896acadacdc848f391ed7b6ea88302e12bee to this SHA. No deployment was made.

The SSH commit timeout now derives from the same readiness allowance: two sequential 30 s + 8 × observed RTT phases, plus 2 × RTT for command admission/exit, capped at the 180 s setup attempt deadline. Fresh setup and Retry share the timed proof/commit path. The cap lets readiness produce its own truthful route timeout before SSH cancels a healthy attempt.

The 600 ms RTT / 31 s startup clean and Retry regressions both passed (2/2 in 137.554 s); measured commits were 34,200.946 ms and 34,177.218 ms, and Retry reached ready in 39,525.935 ms. The 16 established live cases plus the two regressions passed in the 18-case perf-VM suite (18/18 in 531.736 s). LAN root Retry-to-ready was 1,627.984 ms on the 4-vCPU perf VM (load average 1.51 / 1.20 / 0.86 for that case). Receipts: delayed-start regressions, 18-case live suite.

I checked release-prod-live: it has a fixed 30 s readiness wait and fixed 30 s SSH command timeout, so it does not have the R2 mismatch where a link-scaled readiness allowance exceeds the fixed commit timeout; it also has no link-scaled allowance. Static size versus merge base was +3,424 bytes x86_64 (21,101,136 → 21,104,560) and +3,168 bytes aarch64 (19,328,928 → 19,332,096). Both final stripped artifacts were exactly at their caps.

R3-01 P1 confirmed; current verdict HOLD. At 2ca16e6fb the commit budget excludes final facts/canary work after both route phases. Expected-success regression review_commit_allows_proof_after_both_route_phases fails: two valid 29s route phases plus a valid 3s proof are cancelled by the zero/absent-RTT 60s commit timer. connected_facts has its own 10s call allowance after actor(); terminal proof follows actor() too. This is the same class of premature healthy-join cancellation as R2, narrowed to the end of the allowance. Focused result: 1 passed, 1 failed; cap/outlier forwarding passes. Test commit and matched Retry measurements follow. Evidence: review-commit-tests.log

R3-01 P1 confirmed; current verdict HOLD. At 2ca16e6fb the commit budget excludes final facts/canary work after both route phases. Expected-success regression review_commit_allows_proof_after_both_route_phases fails: two valid 29s route phases plus a valid 3s proof are cancelled by the zero/absent-RTT 60s commit timer. connected_facts has its own 10s call allowance after actor(); terminal proof follows actor() too.

Edge-case receipts: never-ready service (300s startup) fails Ready/Readiness at 30,962.445 ms, route wait 30,960.486 ms, with the public message "Checking terminal readiness failed. Check the infraternal agent service and its terminal session, then try again." The 3,000ms RTT case samples 8,320.248ms (large enough to cap commit), but fails earlier at the unchanged 30,003.543ms upload fence; it does not validate the capped live commit path. Both exact disposable containers removed. R3-01 regression now calls the production budget function directly in bootstrap_admission_tests.rs, so correcting the formula can make it pass; independent SSH tests cover Installation forwarding/cap/instant completion/stalled cleanup. live-extra.log

Matched LAN Retry comparison complete: 539a896ac versus 2ca16e6fb, 20/20 real-SSH Docker cases passed on the locked 4-vCPU perf VM, controller CPUWeight=10000. Same default GNU test profile/compiler/features, same harness, same static host/session images; alternating baseline/current order. Explicit package cleans prevented normalized-path artifact reuse; controller hashes differ and are recorded in the raw log. Each case records machine/load and removes its exact container. End load 1.75/0.81/0.72.

Root (6 pairs): baseline/current median 540.666/551.172 ms; ranges 507.208–586.050 / 518.140–589.366 ms. Paired mean delta +9.691 ms; resampled 95% interval [-5.327,+25.065] ms.
Rootless (4 pairs): medians 404.613/412.241 ms; ranges 384.798–424.427 / 401.214–420.068 ms. Paired mean delta +6.828 ms; interval [-5.583,+19.239] ms.

No demonstrated round-3 LAN Retry regression: the reported 1,628ms observation does not reproduce against a matched baseline, and both paired intervals include zero. These modest sample counts cannot exclude a small change. R3-01 remains P1 HOLD for the missing final-proof allowance. Two delayed-start controls are running in a separate lock hold.

Independent delayed-start controls on the named locked perf VM: 600ms RTT, 31s startup, TCP fallback, clean and Retry both PASS (2/2). Current matched-build controller, same published static host/session images. Commit 34,162.399 / 34,164.019 ms; Retry-to-ready 39,318.914 ms. Route waits ~32.32s. End load 0.22/0.51/0.62. This reproduces the claimed repair for that schedule, while the end-of-allowance final-proof regression remains unresolved. Exact owned container removed; no live comparison controllers remain; this review's remote scratch removed.

Gate harness correction at unchanged head e192fee6de: I stopped the first full-gate attempt after diagnosing existing restart failures caused by my user-namespace wrapper. It mapped filesystem root-owned ancestors to UID 65534, which the production restart validator correctly refuses. The same focused closed_reply_and_missing_reload_target_do_not_end_restart_control test failed in that view and passed 1/1 after preserving real ownership (root UID 0, caller UID 1001). Corrected wrapper uses a private mount namespace, private 0700 job fixtures, isolated HOME/XDG paths and real UIDs. No source/assertion/timeout change. The full head fast gate is queued/running again; the first interrupted log is retained separately.

The ownership-corrected gate cleared the earlier restart refusals (CLI 91 passed, 1 failed, 1 existing ignored). Its remaining failure is harness EXDEV at restart_tests.rs:450: the immutable-image hard link crossed from the original target mount into my fixture-only bind mount. Corrected the namespace view to bind the whole job and execute Cargo targets/fixtures through that same mount. The exact unchanged hard-link test then passes 1/1; listener/CA recovery also passes 1/1. No source/assertion/timeout changes. The first static phase is finishing; the complete head gate will rerun using the common mount view. Both prior harness receipts are retained.

Final gate environment refinement, unchanged head e192fee6de: static compilation must use real paths because the compiler-cache worker runs outside the private mount namespace. The earlier namespaced static build failed creating compiler temporary files; those logs are retained. Native shim user-scope testing also crosses into the user manager's mount namespace, so its fixture uses a retained /proc//fd/9 directory path visible from both processes. Exact user_scope_survives_parent_unit_stop passes 1/1 with that path, and the immutable-image hard-link test passes 1/1 through the native runner. Compilation now stays in the normal view; only native test executables use short, private fixture views. No cache disablement, source edit, assertion change or timeout change. Complete head fast rerun queued through build-slot.

Full head gate at e192fee6de has completed Rust testing with only the two new R3-01 expected-success failures. Server library: 566 passed, 2 failed, 52 existing ignored. CLI: 92 passed, 1 existing ignored; shim integration: 24/24 passed. The earlier ownership, hard-link, compiler-view and external-unit fixture errors are cleared by the final execution harness; no source/assertion/timeout changes. Formatting, compile-out, clippy and cargo-deny pass. Static builds are running in the normal compiler view. The TypeScript phase has independently passed 37/37 protocol tests (34,463 assertions) and will be recorded with the final gate receipts. Review remains HOLD for R3-01; final size measurement/gate output pending.

Finished delta review 539a896ac..2ca16e6fb. Verdict: HOLD.

Review head: e192fee6de on review-retry-join-time-r3. Two atomic test-only commits, e9ef902f6 and e192fee6d, pushed; remote SHA verified and checkout clean. No deployment; owner fixtures and live infraternal agents untouched.

R3-01 P1: SSH commit lifetime still excludes final facts/terminal proof work after both route phases. The two production-budget expected-success tests fail at crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_admission_tests.rs:62: zero/absent RTT permits two 29s route phases plus 3s healthy proof, but SSH expires at 60s; a 600ms observation permits two 34s phases plus 4s proof, but SSH expires at 70.8s. Each phase fits its own allowance and the 180s attempt limit. Include the complete proof path in the command lifetime. Cap/outlier forwarding, immediate success and stalled-command cleanup controls pass.

LAN Retry: no demonstrated round-3 speed regression in 20/20 matched real-SSH cases on the locked 4-vCPU perf VM. Root baseline/current medians 540.666/551.172ms (6 alternating pairs), rootless 404.613/412.241ms (4 pairs). Paired mean changes +9.691/+6.828ms; 95% resampled intervals [-5.327,+25.065] / [-5.583,+19.239]ms include zero. A small change cannot be excluded; the reported 1628ms result did not reproduce. Both 600ms RTT / 31s startup controls pass: commits 34162.399/34164.019ms, Retry ready 39318.914ms. Never-ready fails Ready/Readiness at 30962.445ms with a truthful service/terminal message. The 3000ms RTT case reaches the existing 30003.543ms upload timeout before exercising the capped commit.

Size/fixtures: final stripped static images are exactly 21104560 / 19332096 bytes, with no PT_INTERP. X86 growth independently matches +3424 bytes against the retained, hash-verified 539a896ac artifact; ARM cap growth matches the recorded +3168 bytes. Ratchets change only the two measured constants; no dependency, feature, profile or other gate change. R3-02 P2: docs/PROCESS.md section 7 still has the old ceilings. Fixture edits remain test-only, retain assertions and do not change production paths. Read-only release-prod-live source confirms fixed 30s route/SSH timers and no link scaling.

Final validation: scripts/verify fast exits 1, solely for the two deliberate R3-01 tests (server library: 566 passed, 2 failed, 52 existing ignored). Every other Rust gate row passes. Because that expected Rust failure stops verify before TypeScript, its unchanged phase was run separately and passes, including protocol 37/37 with 34463 assertions. Reviewer checklist completed for the delta. All owned VM containers/controllers and remote scratch removed; local job contains evidence only and no owned native executable processes remain.

Cherry-picked review test commit 10008e2e9 (source e192fee6d). The production-budget regressions assert two valid schedules: 61 s of readiness plus final proof at a zero observation, and 72 s at 600 ms RTT; the old 60 s and 70.8 s budgets cancel them. The review also records monotonic and Duration::MAX controls. These regressions must be green after the budget fix.

R3-01 fix in the working tree: setup_commit_budget now sums named installed-actor, active-route, connected-facts, terminal-canary, SSH-admission and exit-receipt allowances. The two 10 s proof allowances are shared constants with their actual timeouts; bootstrap.rs still clamps the command to the 180 s setup deadline, and the SSH timeout still reports The SSH operation timed out.

Evidence: feature-enabled focused run cargo test --locked -p infraternal-server --features remote --lib review_commit_budget -- --nocapture passes 3/3, including both final-proof regressions and the Duration::MAX monotonic control. Derived budgets are 80 s at zero RTT and 90.8 s at 600 ms. cargo fmt --all --check and git diff --check pass. Full iterate, real-SSH Retry and static size measurement remain.

Correction: the last full iterate invocation still misspelled the two fixture environment names by omitting the final L; it therefore did not set either variable and its Python-oracle failure was a command setup error. The correct keys are INFRATERNAL_TEST_RUNTIME_HELPER and INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT (verified in tests/common/mod.rs and previous_attempt_shell.py). The isolated ownership oracle passes with the correctly spelled helper key. I’m rerunning the exact inode test with the correctly spelled state root, then full iterate with both keys.

The derived SSH deadline now includes both 30 s readiness allowances, 10 s connected-facts and 10 s terminal-proof allowances, plus command admission and exit RTTs; the 180 s setup cap remains. Budget regressions pass at 80 s for zero RTT and 90.8 s at 600 ms RTT. R3 valid 61 s/72 s paths, never-ready, cap/outlier controls, clippy --no-deps and the attached full iterate run pass.

Static comparison finding: branch x86_64 built at 21,104,688 bytes. The baseline build stopped before producing an artifact because its target-local auth-tools/zig/zig was absent; scripts/auth-toolchain had provisioned the same pinned compiler under the branch target. I will retry the baseline with that compiler shared by path. The first build log is attached: static-size-compare.log.

Resuming #230 round 4 on branch retry-join-time-r4, base 2ca16e6fbb (origin/retry-join-time); current head 3373248cd. Read all 319 issue comments; no parent is linked. The two review-only regression commits and timeout fix are already present. I will update the stale static-size documentation, recheck the Retry controls on the named locked perf VM, run the final gate, and push/fast-forward the requested refs when green. No deploy.

Matched static size comparison completed with the same scripts/static-cargo build --locked --release --package infraternal --target <target> recipe, toolchain, features and profile. Against 2ca16e6fb, 3373248cd is +128 bytes on x86_64 (21,104,560 → 21,104,688) and +128 bytes on aarch64 (19,332,096 → 19,332,224). This is the measured cost of adding the missing final facts and terminal-proof allowances; no dependencies, features or profiles changed. Both exact ceilings will be ratcheted to the measured branch bytes per D243. Receipt: static-size-final.txt.

Prepared matched live controllers for the perf-VM Retry comparison. A package-only clean between source builds prevents Cargo from reusing the baseline artifact; unstripped base and candidate SHA-256s are distinct, and each contains exactly one live SSH test. The perf VM uses glibc 2.41 and lacks the build host's Nix store, so the stripped fixture copies now use the VM system loader and library paths. Both execute --list on the VM successfully. No timing runs have started. Receipt: controller-artifact-validation.txt.

Locked perf-VM Retry comparison completed on infraternal-perf-test (4 vCPU), CPUWeight=10000; 20/20 real SSH/Docker cases passed and every fixture container was removed. Root (6 alternating pairs, base 2ca16e6fb / candidate 687863977): medians 865.851 / 839.548 ms, paired mean candidate-minus-base -57.820 ms. Rootless (4 pairs): medians 651.629 / 639.508 ms, paired mean -11.699 ms. The current matched candidate is faster in both modes.

The current absolute medians exceed the round-3 candidate references (551.172 / 412.241 ms); the matched round-3 base values are likewise elevated in this window (865.851 / 651.629 ms vs 540.666 / 404.613 ms). This run does not reproduce the prior absolute values, so I am recording the variance rather than attributing it to the timeout formula. Start load was 0.12 / 0.11 / 0.09; end load was 1.519 / 0.777 / 0.352.

The live never-ready control then failed at Ready/Readiness in 31,646.444 ms with the truthful message Checking terminal readiness failed. Check the infraternal agent service and its terminal session, then try again. The assertion was corrected to cover the published-shell failure stage; the exact fixture container was removed. Perf lock and owner receipt are clear.

Receipts: metrics, paired samples and load, paired console, never-ready control.

Finding: the first final-gate run failed only previous_attempt_shell because its Python child had no INFRATERAL_TEST_RUNTIME_HELPER; all 32 inner cases stopped at the same missing environment key (verify-fast-final.log, lines 1369–1712). I’m rerunning that test with the job-local runtime helper explicitly present, then I’ll rerun the full gate.

Correction: the missing helper was caused by a typo in my gate environment (INFRATERAL omitted the n in INFRATERNAL). With the names read directly from the test sources and the job-local helper/state roots supplied, previous_attempt_shell passed 1/1 (6.69 s). I’m rerunning the full gate with the corrected environment; the first gate transcript is not a code-failure result.

Finding: the third full-gate run failed only the two ssh_askpass tests. Their configured scratch path was 62 bytes; CredentialSession adds a 48-byte socket allowance and correctly moved its helper directory to the runtime root, while the tests looked under the configured root (ssh_askpass.rs:87–103, 153–158; verify-fast-final-rerun.log). I’m moving the shared functional test root to a short, job-specific scratch directory so these fixtures stay within their configured root.

Finished #230 round 4.

Head: 68786397706e977308d60d25e72c6c86843458b8. Pushed retry-join-time-r4 and fast-forwarded retry-join-time; both refs now point to this SHA. No deploy.

The commit budget now includes both readiness phases, host facts, terminal proof, and SSH admission/exit allowances. The facts and terminal allowances share the same named constants as their operation timeouts; the 180 s setup cap and truthful SSH timeout result remain. The 61 s and 72 s valid final-proof schedules, cap/outlier controls, and never-ready control pass.

Retry evidence from the named perf VM: 20/20 cases passed. Matched-base/candidate medians were root 865.851/839.548 ms and rootless 651.629/639.508 ms; paired mean deltas were -57.820/-11.699 ms. Both current absolute medians were above the round-three review references of 551.172/412.241 ms, while the matched base was also elevated. The never-ready control failed truthfully after 31,646.444 ms with “Checking terminal readiness failed. Check the infraternal agent service and its terminal session, then try again.” VM measurements, paired run, never-ready run.

Matched stripped static sizes: x86_64 21,104,560 → 21,104,688 B (+128 B); aarch64 19,332,096 → 19,332,224 B (+128 B). No dependencies or features changed; both no-slack caps match the measured artifacts. Static size receipt, cap-boundary receipt.

Iteration finding: the unchanged agent gone-session test uses std::env::temp_dir(), not the state-root variable. The configured TMPDIR produced a 116-byte Unix-socket pathname (Linux limit 107), failing before behavior assertions; agent suite was 143 passed / 1 failed / 20 ignored. Failure and path calculation.

Adjusted only the external native runner to give socket-heavy fixtures a short descriptor-backed TMPDIR as well as state root. The exact unchanged failing test now passes 1/1. No source/assertion changes; rerunning iterate. Base/MERGE_HEAD remain 8f8c84e37 / 687863977.

Second iterate run: agent suite now 144/0/20 ignored; remote suite reached 96 passed / 2 failed / 15 ignored. Both failures were namespace fixture setup: unshare children cannot traverse the outer launcher proc descriptor. Setup failure.

An inherited descriptor still pins the wrong mount view for nested tmpfs/overlay tests, so that attempted runner adjustment was discarded. A short namespace-visible symlink /home/kayg/.cache/codex-scratch/r7 -> release-7/t now keeps all physical files inside this job and both exact unchanged namespace cases pass, including their inner tests. No product/source/assertion changes. Repeating iterate with that runner.

Also corrected the dispatcher RTT calibration: earlier host calibration lines are not performance evidence. Future gates route only that command to the locked perf VM with identical script bytes and CPUWeight=10000; the VM calibration passed. VM receipt.

Third iterate run passed agent/transport/namespace groups, then server was 580 passed / 1 failed / 52 ignored. The unchanged setup-token test used a long std TMPDIR: 116-byte Unix-socket pathname, above Linux 107. Failure.

The external runner now gives non-CLI fixtures the namespace-visible short alias; path-sensitive CLI replacement tests retain their real scratch root. The exact unchanged setup-token test passes 1/1 at 107 bytes. Focused rerun. No product/source/assertion changes; rerunning iterate with all three fixture environment corrections.

Completed Retry integration step: merge 51a74a300 (second parent 687863977), pushed only release-7. Matched stripped static sizes: x86_64 21,352,208 (+7,904 versus release 6); aarch64 19,542,304 (+6,704). Caps ratcheted to those exact values. Focused tests: SSH 44/0/2 ignored; server bootstrap 61/0/3 ignored plus 2 integration matches; Python 24 total, 18 opt-in skipped, ordinary checks pass. Workspace strict clippy and all iterate rows pass. The earlier inode fixture preflight failed intermittently; the complete gate exercised it successfully. I will carry the existing test-only correction separately before the next integration gate.

Verbatim final line:

ITERATE gate passed. This is not the final gate: run scripts/verify fast before reporting done.

Full gate output. Final release gates and staging remain pending.

STOPPED per release brief: the merged D307 gate failed eight browser-side review tests. No product or test fix made after the failure. Do not treat Release 7 as ready.

Committed/pushed head: 8bb6a06497 on release-7 only. Retry merge 51a74a300 has second parent 687863977; test-only inode correction 8bb6a0649 carries dev 8a7a0dd50 and passed its focused gate. D307 merge is resolved/staged but UNCOMMITTED, MERGE_HEAD b429e5664f. Mesh 33cf0b533 is not merged. No deployment or monitor01 access.

Observed failures:

  • connection-review-refusal-input.test.ts:96: both previously-sent variants expected one fresh AttachTerm, received zero.
  • connection-review-retained-lifetime.test.ts: six cases throw TypeError at terminal.ts:1260, this.terminalQueries.reset is undefined. No conclusion that this is a production failure; these are failed review tests requiring an upstream reviewed resolution.

Full merged gate output. Native workspace tests passed, including 600 server tests and the original D307 registry/reply-lane cases: selected native output. fmt, strict clippy, CLI compile-out, cargo-deny, compiler metadata, vendored checksums and TypeScript compiler passed before the browser-unit failure. The new capability regression passed after its documented merge resolution; original review tests were unchanged.

Release 7 complete on pushed release-7, head 173a9ba14f458a8451d31c6e72e86cd73b8911f3. Worktree clean. No production deployment; monitor01 untouched. Issues remain open.

Merge commits: Retry 51a74a300cc438747be590442b664473eface726 (accepted 687863977, already carried by the resumed base), Mesh 93753c36ba280589e0f3e501c8281603d09b1634 (review 33cf0b533). The Mesh merge preserves the canvas and legacy-name tests, renumbers the incoming hostname migration to 0029, and rejects the incoming stale size ceilings. D307, #231 and #206 remain outside this integration. Four logical #246 build-normalization/reproducibility commits precede final qualification. Follow-up 03db2d286 repairs the unshipped migration; 173a9ba14 separately adds the regression.

All 28 shipped migration files are byte-identical to resumed base 8bb6a0649. SQLx proves fresh 0001..0029, a copied production-shaped 0028→0029 database, retained canvas revision 7 and checksums, NULL legacy hostname, integrity and replay. The added regression first failed with SQLite 2067: an existing case-insensitive unnamed-<id> could block startup. The fix reserves free labels through the existing index, retains hand/reported/record names, shares audit/update allocation, increments the revision once and drops its temporary table. 5 passing migration tests, real-binary collision upgrade, shipped SQL preservation, VM copied-database proof.

Stage x86_64 bytes aarch64 bytes
Release 6 21,344,304 19,535,600
After Retry merge 21,352,208 19,542,304

Final, including normalization and collision repair 21,385,264 19,570,256
Final delta over release 6 +40,960 +34,656

Exact measured caps are set. x86 remains 4,040 bytes below the +45,000-byte stop line. Growth pays for accepted Retry commit-budget terms (+7,904/+6,704) and hostname validation/retention/audited reconciliation (+33,056/+27,952). No new dependency; normalization and the collision repair add zero shipping bytes.

The browser review spec uses the repository's preview-enabled proto=product harness; those test assets are separate from shipping assets. Production Mesh screenshots use the shipping build. Existing public Mesh inventory is seeded through the owner API because both shipping host images compile Mesh out; actual admitted host facts rename the IP record to release7-ip-host, while the older image reports no hostname and keeps legacy-product-host. The hostname column is validated for both, and the view contains no mesh-<uuid> label. Managed runtime admission uses the required public 33-byte owner marker. The final three captures below wait for camera rest and supersede the earlier in-flight captures.

Performance evidence is from locked, CPUWeight=10000 infraternal-perf-test (4 vCPU), with kernel/load in the raw receipts. Three paired SQLx upgrades per scale: 1,000-node migration median 12.856→16.123 ms; 10,000-node 56.023→81.532 ms, startup 67.025→94.201 ms. The one-time 25.509 ms cost at 10,000 nodes prevents a valid production database from failing its upgrade. Whole-process HWM ranges at 10,000 nodes: 16,676–18,708→17,428–19,448 KiB; no per-node extrapolation. Both collision matrices preserve reserved names. migration-scale-1000.log, migration-scale-10000.log.

Signed staging: 50 users, 10,000 nodes, 128 real PTYs, 12 signed handoffs, 128 resumed input/output checks, six final browser-protocol sockets responsive; candidate refusal and automatic rollback preserve CA state and database integrity. Listener-gap bracket p50/p99 4018.697/4066.569 ms, max probe interval 101.699 ms; release-6 receipt release-6/evidence/staging-proof-release6-attempt4.log recorded 3927.363/4037.721 ms. Historical baseline receipt (not a paired rerun). This remains the existing ~4-second range, with no seamless-handoff or improvement claim. Current idle server RSS 21,987,328 bytes, sampled one-core CPU 2.800% over 5 seconds at 128 PTYs. Live SSH Retry retained the same session/writer, confirmed input/output, and left zero unconsumed live tokens.

Release 7 complete on pushed `release-7`, head `173a9ba14f458a8451d31c6e72e86cd73b8911f3`. Worktree clean. No production deployment; monitor01 untouched. Issues remain open. Merge commits: Retry `51a74a300cc438747be590442b664473eface726` (accepted `687863977`, already carried by the resumed base), Mesh `93753c36ba280589e0f3e501c8281603d09b1634` (review `33cf0b533`). The Mesh merge preserves the canvas and legacy-name tests, renumbers the incoming hostname migration to **0029**, and rejects the incoming stale size ceilings. D307, #231 and #206 remain outside this integration. Four logical #246 build-normalization/reproducibility commits precede final qualification. Follow-up `03db2d286` repairs the unshipped migration; `173a9ba14` separately adds the regression. All **28 shipped migration files are byte-identical** to resumed base `8bb6a0649`. SQLx proves fresh **0001..0029**, a copied production-shaped **0028→0029** database, retained canvas revision 7 and checksums, NULL legacy hostname, integrity and replay. The added regression first failed with SQLite 2067: an existing case-insensitive `unnamed-<id>` could block startup. The fix reserves free labels through the existing index, retains hand/reported/record names, shares audit/update allocation, increments the revision once and drops its temporary table.

Production Mesh screenshots use the shipping build. Existing public Mesh inventory is seeded through the owner API because both shipping host images compile Mesh out; actual admitted host facts rename the IP record to `release7-ip-host`, while the older image reports no hostname and keeps `legacy-product-host`. The hostname column is validated for both, and the view contains no `mesh-<uuid>` label. Managed runtime admission uses the required public 33-byte owner marker. The final three captures below wait for camera rest and supersede the earlier in-flight captures. Performance evidence is from locked, CPUWeight=10000 `infraternal-perf-test` (4 vCPU), with kernel/load in the raw receipts. Three paired SQLx upgrades per scale: 1,000-node migration median **12.856→16.123 ms**; 10,000-node **56.023→81.532 ms**, startup **67.025→94.201 ms**. The one-time **25.509 ms** cost at 10,000 nodes prevents a valid production database from failing its upgrade. Whole-process HWM ranges at 10,000 nodes: **16,676–18,708→17,428–19,448 KiB**; no per-node extrapolation. Both collision matrices preserve reserved names.

Deployed release 7 to production: 173a9ba14 (06:34 IST). Contains #230 Retry commit budget and #236 Mesh host names (migration 0029_remote_host_hostname). D307 was dropped from this release after its merge broke #244 review tests; it is re-integrated on d307-on-release6 for release 8.

  • Gates: release job verify fast + static reproducibility (x86 6a8bba89… equal across roots), SQLx 0029 upgrade on a production-shaped copy, Mesh staging screenshots show real host names (IP-added and legacy hosts), never mesh-.
  • Sizes x86/ARM: 21,385,264 / 19,570,256 (+40,960 / +34,656 vs release 6).
  • Deploy incident: deploy-prod.sh with both --arm and --bundle overwrote the bundle's staged aarch64 payload; the swap failed after the server stopped. Completed the swap by hand; downtime 27 s (01:03:47–01:04:14 UTC); all five installed binaries match bundle SHA256SUMS; healthz ok; MainPID 137207. The script now refuses --arm with a bundle and checks every staged file before stopping the server.
  • Backup: /var/backups/infraternal/20261020-030343-173a9ba14
    Owner test: unlock the CA; open Mesh: minipc01 should show its hostname once its infraternal agent reports one (an old agent shows the product's host name instead of mesh-); SSH add-host Retry should complete.
