Owner field report, 2026-11-02, production b0e79b31e. Re-adding kayg@code.vpn.kayg.org failed at "Connect to the host": "Setup is already running on this host. Wait for it to finish, then try again."

Cause: yesterday's failed add-host (#291; the agent couldn't reach 7443) left ~/.local/share/infraternal/.bootstrap-lock/ in the activating / replacing-binary / replacing-launcher state with a lease, plus an old first-shell __shim session still running from .bootstrap-lock/payload. Nothing ever expires that lease, so every later add-host is refused permanently.

Workaround applied by the orchestrator: killed the stale shim by PID, uninstalled the user unit, and removed ~/.local/share/infraternal on code.

Fix needed:

1. The bootstrap lease must expire, or be provably stale (its owner process is gone) and taken over safely.
2. A failed install must roll back or mark itself failed, not stay "activating".
3. Re-adding a host must replace an older stuck infraternal agent (see #231).
4. The error should say which machine holds the lock, since when, and offer "replace the stuck install".

Start: branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305, based on origin/dev at b0e79b31e3d0f3dc89ae3ca67b466d929c6d03ba.

Plan:

1. On a disposable VM user, reconstruct production b-0.1.0 (21,443,824-byte x86 binary) and the failed lock/unit/identity state from this report. Archive the fixture with a process and unit listing, then attach its summary.
2. Run current dev add-host against a disposable dev server and record the expected “Setup is already running” failure.
3. Add failing tests from the fixture, then fix stale lease takeover, failed-install finalization, SSH replacement cleanup (including only the old infraternal agent's processes and session shims), stale :7443 identity removal, and actionable lock-owner text.
4. Repeat add-host end to end, block 7443, verify the new terminal over 443, run scripts/verify fast on the emptier Linux build VM, and push this branch.

Estimate: 6–8 hours of execution time, excluding shared build-slot queue waits.

Queue check before heavy work: compute01 4/4 slots busy, dev-02 3/3 busy; 97 GB and 89 GB free respectively.

Transport follow-up from #291: I read the current #305 plan (#74342). I am leaving stale lease takeover, failed-install finalization, lock recovery, and shim cleanup entirely with J93. The supplied archive contains bootstrap-lock state but no agent logs; I will reproduce the HTTPS/WebSocket path through a TLS-terminating HTTP/2 proxy and report the transport finding here without changing the lock path.

Transport boundary clue from #291: InstallStep::Connect is the SSH prepare_join_key action (crates/plugins/ssh/src/install.rs), not the installed agent's steady-state link. It runs agent prepare-join-key (HTTPS preflight, then key creation) and then start_setup_lease. The preserved snapshot shows key preparation progressed beyond the HTTPS challenge. I am leaving all lease/lock cleanup with you; I will isolate the HTTP/2 proxy path on #291.

Finding: reconstructed the failed bootstrap fixture on compute01 under the fresh ordinary user j93fixture (UID 30033), using source 7bf03044f.

• Old x86 infraternal binary: 21,443,824 bytes; SHA-256 b2cec7a205c522dff4f0f68c07bb2e1da93a9f81f234111ef29420bb2a5d4ed1.
• State: activating, replacing-binary, replacing-launcher, stale lease 99999999/1, kind=upgrade, cache with the old session payload, .bootstrap-owner, rootless enabled unit, and state/identity.json endpoint 127.0.0.1:7443.
• Unit snapshot: enabled, ActiveState=active, SubState=running; ExecStart points at bin/current agent --data state --state sessions run. The captured unit MainPID was 2258961.
• Lingering shim: PID 2258765, launched from .bootstrap-lock/payload with __shim and the fixture sessions path.
• Private archive: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93/failed-bootstrap-fixture.tar.gz (SHA-256 fdd9c4eda0e6376b31d61ce8c644fe6ad65eb3099f1ab211af00dac224072037, mode 0600). It contains a synthetic test identity key, so I kept the tar in VM scratch and did not attach it.
• The tar utility skipped live Unix socket nodes; the process/unit listing records the shim and unit state.

The sanitized summary is recorded here; the archive remains available on compute01 for fixture-based tests.

Coordination from the #291 namespace e2e: this job has made no bootstrap-lock or lease changes. With 7443 blocked and a TLS-terminating h2-capable front, the real CLI enrolled and carried terminal I/O over 443. The “Other” line is ResetWithoutClosingHandshake on the intentional preflight close before D168 proof. Source order in Installation::prepare_join_key is preflight/key preparation, then start_setup_lease; the failed connect step therefore proceeds into the lease path after preflight. The stale lease and retry exit_status=73 remain in J93's scope.

J67 transport follow-up result from compute01: the 443-only namespace proof passed through the TLS-terminating h2-capable proxy with behind_proxy=true, trusted_proxies=127.0.0.1, and both TCP/UDP 7443 blocked. The server observed D168 proof and host admission, and terminal input/output succeeded. The logged Other is the preflight WebSocket closing before key proof (ResetWithoutClosingHandshake), not the enrolled steady-state link. InstallStep::Connect reaches start_setup_lease after prepare_join_key; I made no bootstrap-lock changes. The stale .bootstrap-lock / Setup is already running fix stays in J93's #305 scope.

Current-dev reproduction, commit be20430b2: I ran the ignored real-SSH add-host harness against the archived j93fixture home and a disposable in-process server. SSH reached the target, but bootstrap stopped at Connect with status 71 and showed: “Host provisioning cannot safely remove these leftovers because their ownership is not proven.” The fixture's active unit and __shim remain running; no invitation was issued (active_hosts=1, unconsumed_live_tokens=0). This reproduces a persistent refusal, but the current check reports this earlier ownership error rather than the expected “Setup is already running” text.

Finding (source trace): the read-only Connect preflight composes previous_attempt.sh and inspect_previous before enrollment. It only accepts kind=fresh; a kind=upgrade stage is rejected, while not_live refuses any running process whose executable or open descriptor points into the install tree. This leaves the archived upgrade journal plus its bootstrap-payload shim non-recoverable through the existing Start fresh path. ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION already has an upgrade branch and restoration markers for the binary, unit, and state. Recovery can therefore be limited to a proven stale upgrade journal, stop only its owned unit and bootstrap shim, then reuse rollback and normal HTTPS enrollment. The current refusal is consistent with the source but does not meet re-add replacement acceptance.

Regression first: added test_archived_failed_upgrade_with_dead_lease_owner_is_classified_for_replacement using a sanitized #305 journal fixture. On compute01 it currently fails at the expected boundary: inspect_previous returns status 75 for kind=upgrade instead of a replacement record. The fixture omits the private identity key and executable bytes; its old endpoint is a loopback 7443 placeholder. No product code changed yet.

J93 regression progress on fix-stale-bootstrap-305 (base 313d0dd6332968e907f63d8117ef699bf70904a8):

• On compute01, the archived kind=upgrade layout still returns status 75 instead of a replacement record; an active lease reports only status 73 instead of machine, PID, start time, and lock age.
• Added real-shell regressions for safe shim shutdown, PID reuse, unrelated process preservation, and rollback finalization. Four focused tests fail at the expected missing behavior; the rollback probe sees exit 90 because it reaches service stop while activating is still present and no failed marker exists.
• Fixture test uses the current helper binary and synthetic 7443 identity data; no private identity contents are read or printed.
• Latest capacity check: compute01 4/4 slots busy, 47 GB free; dev-02 3/3 slots busy and 17 GB free, below its 25 GB floor. No Cargo build has been queued.

Next: implement the stale-upgrade inspection/replacement path and failed-state journal transition, then rerun the focused shell tests.

Finding: a directed live-lock test starts the inspecting shell before the holder, then confirms that the lock report names the inspector (PID 3346049) instead of the actual holder (PID 3346050), with the same start tick. The shell regressions are red on compute01: the valid kind=upgrade fixture is rejected with 75, failed rollback reaches service stop while activating remains (test exit 90), and replacement/PID-reuse tests stop at ownership refusal 75. The run was Ran 42 tests; FAILED (failures=7). I corrected the fixture root to /tmp/j93 to stay within AF_UNIX path limits; these failures now isolate the missing behaviors.

J93 finding on fix-stale-bootstrap-305 (base 7089be979): the archived failed-upgrade journal stayed activating while rollback called the service manager. The regression test caught this by refusing the stop unless the journal already contained failed. Rollback now atomically renames activating to failed before retiring the lease or stopping the service, and recovery accepts the failed marker for retry. The sanitized fixture unit also now includes its required [Install] WantedBy=default.target stanza.

Focused shell oracle on dev-02:

Ran 42 tests in 3.192s

OK

Next: Rust lock-record parsing, same-host key-digest-bound re-enrollment, then the real fixture replacement and 443-only terminal proof.

J93 resume: branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305, current worktree head 7089be97953f9d5893d5f8d9c4e0713fb7f3b2f7; refreshed origin/dev is 16bf736c7cc6b4744740f..., so the task branch is 7 commits behind and I will preserve the existing uncommitted J93 changes while rebasing. The previously posted 6–8 hour plan remains the full-slice estimate; remaining estimate is 4–6 execution hours, excluding shared build-slot waits.

Remaining plan:

1. Verify the archived old-binary fixture and finish any missing disposable-target evidence; attach a sanitized summary to #305.
2. Re-run current-dev add-host against that fixture with a disposable dev server and record the exact refusal.
3. Extend failing-first coverage for process start-time lease ownership, failed-install finalization, owned unit/shim cleanup, identity endpoint replacement, and lock-holder diagnostics.
4. Implement only the recovery path those tests require, preserving unrelated processes and session data, and enroll over 443.
5. Prove fixture → current-dev refusal → replacement → terminal I/O with 7443 blocked; run scripts/verify fast, commit, and push this branch only.

Queue check just now: compute01 3/4 slots busy, 28 GB free; dev-02 2/3 busy, 31 GB free. No J93 build is running; the visible recovery_restart test is J102's worktree.

Finding: the archived disposable fixture matches the failed #305 state. It preserves the old 21,443,824-byte binary, its SHA-256, the enabled/active unit snapshot, and the lingering bootstrap-payload shim. The private archive stays on compute01 because it contains a synthetic identity key; the sanitized summary is attached here.

The current-dev real-SSH baseline used the disposable in-process server and reached Connect, then failed with status 71: “Host provisioning cannot safely remove these leftovers because their ownership is not proven.” This differs from the task's expected “Setup is already running” wording, but still leaves re-add blocked. The relevant add-host and SSH files have no commits between the baseline source and refreshed origin/dev 16bf736c7c.

• The new lock diagnostic regression is red against the current implementation: parse_check returns Install for an INFRATERNAL_SETUP_LOCKED record instead of SetupRunning.
• The same-host re-enrollment regression is gated by the server remote feature. Its first filter invocation ran zero tests; the corrected feature-enabled test is queued on compute01.
• No source changes were made after the red lock result. Both VM build queues were full at the latest check; J93's corrected test is queued on compute01.

J93 test finding on `fix-stale-bootstrap-305` (base `16bf736c7cc6b474474d6b148077b516b0893cf1`): - The new lock diagnostic regression is red against the current implementation: `parse_check` returns `Install` for an `INFRATERNAL_SETUP_LOCKED` record instead of `SetupRunning`. - The same-host re-enrollment regression is gated by the server `remote` feature. Its first filter invocation ran zero tests; the corrected feature-enabled test is queued on compute01. - No source changes were made after the red lock result. Both VM build queues were full at the latest check; J93's corrected test is queued on compute01.

J93 regression evidence on fix-stale-bootstrap-305 (base 16bf736c7cc6b474474d6b148077b516b0893cf1):

• The feature-enabled server regression now runs and is red at the intended boundary. The archived INFRATERNAL_SETUP_UPGRADE record emits a failed check event with “The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format,” so the explicit replacement action is not reached and no replacement invitation is issued.
• The lock diagnostic regression is also red: the current parser returns Install rather than SetupRunning for an INFRATERNAL_SETUP_LOCKED record.
• The missing behavior is isolated to parsing the active/stale lease records, presenting the replacement action, and the upgrade journal re-enrollment path.

Implementation finding: the inspected journal is upgraded to an INFRATERNAL_SETUP_UPGRADE record, but PreviousAttempt::start_fresh still requires INFRATERNAL_SETUP_STALE, so the explicit recovery action exits 75. The normal add-host branch also allocates a new host UUID, while the interrupted install is bound to the existing host; issue_attempt then rejects the already registered address. I am extending the confirmed replacement path to keep that host identity and reissue its enrollment invitation after the host-side lease and old runtime are safely retired. Branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305 is now based on origin/dev at 17d282a187.

Finding with reproduction evidence: the archived setup cache is a hard link from .bootstrap-lock/cache/payload to .bootstrap-lock/payload, as created by PUBLISH_PAYLOAD_CACHE before its atomic rename. I updated the disposable shell fixture to preserve that inode/link topology. The focused test now fails at inspect with exit 71 because validate_upgrade_stage requires link count 1 for both names. That matches the baseline refusal and pinpoints the ownership check to fix.

Verification update: the shell validator change accepts the archived hard-link layout only when cache/payload is the same inode as the staged payload. The focused archived-upgrade shell regression passes (1 test, OK). The add-host copy regression passes (10 tests, 0 failures), covering machine/PID/since text and the Replace the stuck install guidance.

J93 UI regression RED on compute01: the production tracer build ran the mobile 2× Playwright case captures stuck-upgrade replacement at phone and keeps its label aligned. It failed at the expected boundary because stuck.lab had no stuck-upgrade state; the replacement heading was absent after 30 s (one test, 38.5 s total). Nix Chromium 155.0.8059.79 launched successfully. I am adding one test-double outcome to exercise the existing replacement action and its measured alignment.

Resume: branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305, worktree /home/kayg/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-J93, based on origin/dev at 17d282a187611c85aca4058fac161268454c5b8d (clean at start).

Plan:

1. Verify the archived old-binary failed-install fixture and the current-dev refusal on a disposable target/server; retain only sanitized evidence.
2. Add failing-first regressions for stale lease ownership, failed-install finalization, safe old-unit/shim replacement, stale endpoint removal, and actionable lock diagnostics.
3. Implement recovery for the recorded upgrade state and drive re-enrollment over 443.
4. Exercise the replacement UI using the existing test double, run the 443-only terminal proof and fast gate on the less-busy VM, then commit and push this branch.

Estimate: 4–6 hours of execution, excluding build-slot waits. Queue snapshot: compute01 4/4 busy with one queued; dev-02 2/3 busy with three queued. The archived fixture and prior baseline/e2e evidence are documented in earlier #305 comments; I will verify those artifacts before relying on them.

Correction and fixture verification: comment 75101 incorrectly said the J93 worktree was clean. The root checkout was clean; /home/kayg/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-J93 already had 17 modified files (1,375 insertions, 91 deletions). I am preserving those in-progress changes.

The archived fixture is present at /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93/failed-bootstrap-fixture.tar.gz (10,817,028 bytes, SHA-256 fdd9c4eda0e6376b31d61ce8c644fe6ad65eb3099f1ab211af00dac224072037). I inspected only archive metadata, the process/unit listing and the identity endpoint: old bin/live is 21,443,824 bytes with SHA-256 b2cec7a205c522dff4f0f68c07bb2e1da93a9f81f234111ef29420bb2a5d4ed1; the snapshot records an enabled/active user unit and the bootstrap payload shim. identity.json points to 127.0.0.1:7443. The synthetic identity key was not read or exposed.

The current-dev baseline already recorded in #305 was a real-SSH refusal at Connect with status 71 (“Host provisioning cannot safely remove these leftovers because their ownership is not proven”), rather than the expected “Setup is already running” wording. I will verify whether that baseline is reproducible on refreshed dev before relying on it.

Focused shell regression evidence: the first manual invocation used /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93/bootstrap-helper, whose runtime capability probe is below the current script's required level and caused 23 tests to exit 76. Re-running with /home/claude/worktrees/infraternal-J93/target/debug/examples/recovery-helper (reported --bootstrap-runtime-version = 2) passed all 43 shell tests in 18.064 seconds. This was a stale harness helper, not a product failure. No source changes were made during the rerun.

Finding: the first fresh scripts/verify fast run on compute01 at 294042b56 finished with VERIFY_EXIT=1. The Rust test and static-build rows passed. Formatting failed at eight locations in four files, and Clippy reported too many arguments (8/7) for Backend::reissue_stuck_install at crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:80. I aligned the worktree to refreshed origin/dev 99668d8; its 11 commits only touch decisions, design taste and static-size baselines. I am formatting the affected files and bundling the replacement inputs into a typed request before rerunning the focused regressions and full gate.

Fixture proof compile finding: the opt-in real-SSH harness failed before it contacted the target. Rust reported E0515 because the adapter returned an operation borrowing its local Arc, and E0382 because the target address was moved before the duplicate-address assertion. No fixture SSH request or service action ran. I am fixing these test-only ownership errors and will rerun.

Finding: the first live-fixture test invocation acquired compute01 slot 1/4 and compiled the server test harness, then exited 101 at bootstrap_breakit2_tests.rs:1130 because INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT was unset. It stopped before opening SSH or touching the fixture; the old unit and shim were not acted on. This was an invocation error, not recovery behavior. I am rerunning with the required state root, current static CLI payload, fixture SSH key and loopback disposable server settings.

Finding: the correctly configured live invocation connected through the disposable SSHD but stopped at the product's first-contact host-key gate (Connect, status not set) with “The SSH host key needs review before connecting.” The test harness uses strict host-key checking; its scratch wrapper had not been seeded with this SSHD's generated public host key. The old journal markers, shim PID 2258765, enabled auto-restarting unit and 7443 identity remained present. I will pin the disposable SSHD public key in a fresh short test scratch path, as the existing live harness does, then retry.

Finding on the pushed fix branch: the live SSH add-host harness now reaches the fixture with the disposable key and pinned SSHD key, but still fails Connect with status 71: “Host provisioning cannot safely remove these leftovers because their ownership is not proven.” It offers no replacement. The run took 5.54 s after acquiring compute01 slot 2/4 and did not change the endpoint, lock markers, enabled unit or lingering shim. This reproduces the recorded blocker on the current branch; I am tracing the ownership refusal before changing code.

Finding: the live-fixture status-71 refusal was caused by its wrapper environment, before bootstrap inspection. On compute01, /home/j93fixture/.local/share is root-owned; setup_guard requires that exact parent to be owned by the ordinary SSH user. The fixture data root, staged files, old binary, unit, sockets, and hard-linked cache payload have the expected owner/modes. This does not match a successful rootless production install. The private fixture archive is unchanged and its identity key was not read. I will chown only the disposable home’s .local and .local/share directories to j93fixture, rerun the current-dev baseline and replacement path, and retain the archive as-is. Current queue check: compute01 4/4 busy with 1 queued at 25 GB free; dev-02 2/3 busy with 5 queued at 106 GB free. No J93 test/build is running.

Queue correction for my previous finding: the live dev-02 build-slot --status lists two configured slots (both busy), not three. Current snapshots are compute01 4/4 busy with one queued and 25 GB free; dev-02 2/2 busy with five queued and 106 GB free. The earlier “2/3” count came from the common brief’s stale capacity note. No J93 run is pending.

Correction to my previous fixture finding: the root-owned .local/share directory was a separate mismatch, but it did not cause the observed status 71. With that parent now owned by j93fixture, tracing the generated current-branch command shows it exits first at the install-root prelude: /home/j93fixture/.local/share/infraternal is mode 755, while the current prelude requires mode 700. It exits before setup_guard or journal inspection. The archive is unchanged. Before adjusting that mode, I am checking whether the old production b-0.1.0 installer created a 755 root; if so, this is part of the compatibility case and must stay in the fixture. No product changes have been made for this finding.

Follow-up correction and source evidence: origin/dev at the archived production source 7bf03044f also creates a rootless data directory under umask 077 (mkdir -p "$base") and its script prelude requires mode 700. The recreated fixture's mode 755 root was created by the root extraction/setup wrapper, not by b-0.1.0. The first status 71 was therefore a fixture extraction artifact. I have corrected the disposable parent owners; next I will set only the fixture data-root directory to the mode the old installer produced, then rerun current-dev add-host. I will not alter or inspect the archive or identity key.

The recreated fixture's mode 755 root was created by the root extraction/setup wrapper, not by b-0.1.0. The first status 71 was therefore a fixture extraction artifact. I have corrected the disposable parent owners; next I will set only the fixture data-root directory to the mode the old installer produced, then rerun current-dev add-host. I will not alter or inspect the archive or identity key.

Corrected current-dev baseline

I restored the disposable fixture's ordinary-user XDG parent ownership and mode 700 data root (the old 7bf03044f installer used umask 077 before mkdir -p). The private tar is unchanged. The current-dev test used origin/dev 92ee8d5ea33aa8c88e6ad7d9a57f0dd757656bb9, a loopback-only disposable SSHD on port 2222, and the in-process TLS server from the ignored real-SSH add-host test.

Exact result:

METRIC breakit2 step=resolve elapsed_ms=3.181 ok=true
METRIC breakit2 step=key_sign_in elapsed_ms=109.159 ok=true
METRIC breakit2 step=check elapsed_ms=65.471 ok=false
FAILURE breakit2 phase=Check kind=Install step=Some(Connect) status=Some(75) tail=[]
METRIC breakit2 event=Failed cumulative_ms=183 message=The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format. Host provisioning left it untouched.
METRIC breakit2 failed_step=Some(Connect) status=Some(75)
LEDGER breakit2 active_hosts=1 prior_hosts=1 unconsumed_live_tokens=0 attempts=0

running 1 test
...
test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 792 filtered out; finished in 5.02s

Current dev therefore still blocks re-add, but on this faithfully recreated fixture its exact message is “The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format,” not the field report's “Setup is already running.” No invitation was issued. Afterward the old 21,443,824-byte binary remained, the user unit was enabled and auto-restarting, and shim PID 2258765 was still alive. No identity key contents were read or exposed. The sanitized raw log is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93/current-dev-baseline.log on compute01.

Progress checkpoint: corrected fixture baseline now reproduces the current-dev refusal at 92ee8d5ea33aa8c88e6ad7d9a57f0dd757656bb9: SSH reaches Connect, exits 75 on the unsupported kind=upgrade journal, issues no invitation, and leaves the old unit/shim in place. The test passes its expected-refusal assertion. The J93 branch is rebased onto that current dev and pushed at WIP head 084e4e18d198581ad93988f29bbcb39bee616290; the rebase added no J93 source changes.

Next: build the rebased branch, run the fixture replacement regression against j93fixture, then the 443-only namespace terminal proof and final scripts/verify fast. The latest queue check is compute01 4/4 busy, 69 GB free, no queued job listed; dev-02 2/2 busy, six queued, 112 GB free. No J93 run is pending.

Finding (2026-11-02): the archived failed-upgrade fixture contains .bootstrap-lock/cache/payload and two session sockets, but no sibling infraternal.bootstrap-cache/payload. The staged payload rejects --bootstrap-runtime-version with ‘Invalid session startup arguments’; runtime_cleanup.sh currently requires the sibling cache whenever a socket remains after stop. The replacement path sends TERM to processes using the staged payload before not_live, so the live replacement proof will determine whether those shims unlink their sockets cleanly. I did not read the archive or identity key contents.

Finding: on compute01, shim PID 2258765 is UID 30033 with start_ticks=14303636; its executable and the journaled .bootstrap-lock/payload have the same device/inode (2049:24583). The lease owner PID 99999999/start=1 is absent. The old 21,443,824-byte bin/live remains and identity endpoint is still 127.0.0.1:7443. The last replacement attempt stopped/disabled the disposable unit, then exited 76 because a compatible runtime helper was unavailable; the shim, two session sockets, and lifetime lock remain. I will restore the fixture unit and trace helper acquisition before rerunning. No identity-key contents were read.

Finding: the missing-helper reproduction is red before the fix: on compute01, EarlierSetup.test_upgrade_with_lifetime_lock_requests_helper_refresh_before_confirmation failed with returncode 0 instead of 76, so stale upgrades were offered without the helper needed for safe shim cleanup. I added a read-only helper-capability check after lease owner PID/start-time validation; it requests the existing refresh path before confirmation and does not stop the service. The shell regression is now green, and the full shell suite reports 44 tests OK.

UI finding: the stale-lock diagnostic already tells the person to replace the stuck install, while the wizard repeated that instruction in a second paragraph before the same CTA. I added a copy regression; it failed with the duplicate paragraph, then passed after removing that paragraph. The fresh 2x desktop/phone capture spec still checks the replacement button and center alignment.

Finding on the fixture 443 run: the run logged start_fresh accepted=true then failed with status 76 before enrollment. That test predates the latest inspect_upgrade helper preflight change, synced to the compute01 worktree afterward. The fixture has the helper hard link at .bootstrap-lock/cache/payload but no sibling $base.bootstrap-cache/payload; the new preflight should trigger the existing helper refresh path. The old unit is currently inactive and shim PID 2258765 remains. I’m restoring the fixture state and rebuilding the latest source before retrying; this run does not establish the latest branch result.

Capacity note on local fix-stale-bootstrap-305 head 9b81b8cdb54c85fc7c2be95d820478112a3434e5 (rebased on current origin/dev): the refreshed x86 fixture build is queued on compute01 because only 14 GB is free (25 GB floor), despite slot 3 being free. Dev-02 has no free slot and two queued jobs; its architecture is not suitable for executing this x86-only archived fixture. The queued build-slot run is the only J93 run. The fixture unit remains enabled but inactive: starting the old binary against the unavailable 7443 endpoint produced repeated “Remote infraternal agent operation failed” exits, so I stopped the restart loop; shim PID 2258765 remains. I will run the updated helper preflight and 443 proof once compute01 has capacity.

Finding on the first latest-source 443 invocation: the harness stopped before SSH with key_sign_in ok=false and “Choose an SSH authentication method.” The detached launcher applied /dev/null after the replacement-key stdin redirection, so it passed empty stdin to the test. The fixture was not contacted or modified; the old unit remained enabled and the shim was untouched. I corrected the launcher to keep the private test key on stdin and am rerunning the same live test.

Finding: the 443 fixture test reached Connect and failed when the archived helper probe returned exit 76. The authenticated read-only check had already consumed the one-use credential provider, but AutoAuth discarded its SSH session on the command-status error; bootstrap then could not use that session to refresh the helper and reported “The one-connection authentication attempt has ended.” The new regression failed with that exact error (0 passed, 1 failed) before the change and passes after retaining the authenticated session for retry (1 passed). Next: rerun fixture replacement on current source, verify owned-process cleanup and HTTPS/443 terminal I/O with TCP/UDP 7443 blocked, then run the gate and push.

J93 continuation — start, plan and estimate (2026-11-02)

Branch: fix-stale-bootstrap-305
Base: origin/dev at 816f9ab3e8dc708d88a5f774d605cced22d82d22.
Current worktree head: e0a051cc30c6955d7256937faae83e701f99e992, with six uncommitted follow-up files.

The archived ordinary-user fixture and current-dev baseline are already documented above. The baseline reaches SSH Connect, returns status 75 for the unsupported kind=upgrade journal, issues no enrollment invitation, and leaves the old unit and shim in place.

Plan:

1. Review the current follow-up diff and finish focused regressions for authenticated helper refresh, owned shim/unit cleanup, safe stale-lease takeover, failed-install finalization, stale endpoint removal, and lock-holder diagnostics.
2. Re-run replacement against the archived fixture on the disposable x86 VM and disposable dev server. Record old-runtime cleanup, enrollment over 443 with TCP and UDP 7443 blocked, and terminal input/output.
3. Recheck both build queues, run scripts/verify fast on the less-queued suitable VM, then commit and push only this branch.

Estimate: 2–4 execution hours, excluding shared build-slot waits. Queue snapshot: compute01 has two free slots and 90 GB free; dev-02 has both slots occupied with four queued and 114 GB free. No J93 run is queued.

Finding: the scratch target had drifted to a disabled unit. I re-enabled it; it repeatedly starts the old 21,443,824-byte binary and exits status 1 with “Remote infraternal agent operation failed,” matching its unreachable-server state. The unit is enabled/auto-restarting, identity endpoint remains 127.0.0.1:7443, and the payload shim is still PID 1579412 (UID 30033). The preserved archive is unchanged.

Correction: source expects INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT and INFRATERNAL_REMOTE_TEST_BINARY (with N). My first two commands used INFRATERAL without that N; a direct nix develop probe confirms environment propagation works. Both runs failed before connecting to the fixture. I am retrying with the exact source names.

Finding: the corrected live replacement reached the old fixture and accepted start_fresh, then failed at Install with status 73 / “Setup is already running on this host.” Afterward the user unit was stopped and disabled, but the old 21,443,824-byte binary, activating and replacing-* markers, 7443 identity, and payload shim PID 1579412 remained. The scoped 443 redirect counters stayed at zero, so enrollment did not start. I am isolating the shim cleanup boundary.

No cleanup assertion or product code ran. I will rerun with the documented short /tmp/j93 test root.

J93 regression is now red at the intended boundary. With INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT=/tmp/j93, the legacy shim starts and the focused test reaches the cleanup command. Current runtime helper returns status 71 for sessions-stop; expected status is 0 followed by a verified shell SIGHUP, ExitAck, shim termination and socket unbind. Output: 1 test, 0 passed, 1 failed, exit 101. The fixture socket path now fits and no product code changed.

J93 TDD update: added a second real-process regression for a shim whose Hello PID disagrees with its Unix peer credentials. The feature-enabled focused run now executes both cases: 2 tests, 0 passed, 2 failed, both at the current unsupported sessions-stop status 71 (expected 0 for the valid shim and 77 for the mismatched PID). The short socket root works; no production code has changed for this cleanup.

J93 focused regression batch completed on compute01 (log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93/focused-session-cleanup.log). cargo fmt --all --check completed without error. Results: shim cleanup regressions 2/2 passed; lock diagnostic 1/1 passed; authenticated helper refresh 1/1 passed; add-host copy tests 10/10 passed (26 assertions). No J93 run remains active. I am reviewing the pending diff, then will replay replacement against the archived fixture and verify the 443 path.

Fixture finding before the replacement replay: UID 30033 still has the 21,443,824-byte old binary, activating/replacing-binary/replacing-launcher markers, cache, identity endpoint 127.0.0.1:7443, and the old payload shim PID 1579412. I re-enabled the user unit; it briefly reported active/running, then entered auto-restart because the old endpoint is unavailable. It remains enabled and points at the old binary.

Queue check before the live run: compute01 is 4/4 busy with one queued job and 43 GB free; dev-02 is 2/2 busy with three queued and 62 GB free. The archived x86 fixture must run on compute01, so the J93 run will queue there.

Blocked on the shared x86 build slot. The fixture replay was submitted through build-slot on compute01 after the required two-VM queue check; at submission it had one job ahead and all four slots were occupied. The dev-02 queue was also full, and the archived 21,443,824-byte binary is x86-only. The command is still attached and no test/build has started. The temporary 7443 rule is scoped to UID 30033 and will be removed by the shell trap when the command exits.

Finding from the archived-fixture replay (compute01, current branch, disposable in-process server): the 21,443,824-byte old install was recognized, start_fresh was accepted, and cleanup reported “Earlier setup leftovers removed. Continuing the setup steps.” The run then failed before enrollment with Replacing this stuck install needs HTTPS enrollment. The TCP/UDP 7443 firewall counters for UID 30033 were both zero. Test log: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93/replacement-443-after-fix.log; exit 101. I am tracing this rejection and checking the fixture after the partial attempt before retrying.

Finding: the failed HTTPS replacement replay reaches the intended , but its observed test backend wrapper () does not forward . The trait default is None, so Bootstrap skips key preparation even though RemoteBackend's issuer origin is HTTPS, then returns I added a regression asserting the wrapper preserves the origin; next I will verify its red result on a VM, add the delegation, restore the archived fixture and replay.

Correction to my previous comment: the observed adapter omits Backend::enrollment_origin. Its trait default is None, so Bootstrap skips key preparation even though RemoteBackend has an HTTPS issuer origin. This causes the replacement path to return “Replacing this stuck install needs HTTPS enrollment.” I added a regression asserting that ObservedBackend preserves the origin. Next I will verify the regression on a VM, add the delegation, restore the archived fixture, and replay it.

Regression evidence: the feature-enabled focused test ran the intended test and failed at the origin assertion. It observed None instead of https://remote.example.test (1 test, 0 passed, 1 failed; exit 101). This confirms the wrapper drops the issuer origin. I added a delegation to RemoteBackend and am rerunning the test before restoring the fixture.

J93 field replay finding: the archived disposable fixture contains the 21,443,824-byte pre-fix binary, an enabled/running user unit, the activating/replacing-binary/replacing-launcher lock markers, and a live __shim launched from .bootstrap-lock/payload.

Update: the fixture archive and sanitized summary are attached. The x86 replacement/terminal proof is queued at position 1 on compute01; its four slots are occupied. dev-02 has a free slot but only 6 GB free, below the 25 GB build-slot floor, so compute01 is the viable host. The J93 run is still waiting in build-slot; no test process has started.

Fixture replay finding: the replacement test reached current-dev preflight but correctly refused with status 71 ('cannot safely remove these leftovers because their ownership is not proven'). Inspection showed the restored base directory was mode 755; the bootstrap contract requires this private data root to be mode 700. The archived old binary and lock markers remain intact. I am normalizing only the disposable fixture directory to 700 before replay.

Second replay is also blocked by restoration metadata, not stale-lock logic. The shell trace proved the failed ownership check was : the archive restore left mode 700 and root-owned, with a root-owned launcher symlink, so the ordinary fixture user could not traverse it. I am correcting those fixture parent/link owners and permissions before the next replay; the archive itself remains unchanged.

After normalizing the disposable fixture's restored parent/link ownership, the exact current preflight shell now returns an upgrade record instead of refusing. It proves the lease PID (99999999) has no live /proc record and reports infraternal-dev-01-compute01 plus the lease timestamp (2026-11-02T07:48:26Z). The service and session shim are still present; I am rerunning the full replacement and terminal proof.

Finding from the latest normalized-fixture replay: replacement and payload upload complete, then the test fails before activation with InstallStep::Connect, status 2. The step=commit metric is misleading: the test adapter labels every unclassified Input::Empty command as commit (bootstrap_breakit2_tests.rs:554), which includes prepare_join_key. That command preflights the advertised HTTPS endpoint on 443. The live test server binds its agent listener at 4930, while BREAKIT2_PUBLIC_LINK_PORT=443 only changes the advertised port; compute01 had no listener on 443. This replay therefore exposed a missing disposable 443 route in the fixture, not a commit failure. Next I’m wiring the test-only route while dropping direct 7443 traffic for the fixture user, then I’ll rerun and diagnose any remaining product failure.

Scope stop for this continuation: the issue's posted estimate is 2–4 hours, and BRIEF-COMMON says to stop and report past 2× the estimate. The fixture artifacts span 2026-11-02 to 2026-11-03, beyond that leash, so I’m handing back before another end-to-end run or gate.

Current pushed branch head: e3baea3a740c61f53eaa28d3d609aee028ab468d. No code changes were made in this continuation. The latest replay did not reach activation: payload upload passed, then prepare_join_key failed its advertised 443 preflight with status 2. step=commit was a misleading test label for an unmatched empty-input command. The test listener binds at 4930; the runner only advertises 443 and had no 443 route. I validated a test-only nft route (fixture UID 30033, 443 → 4930, direct 7443 blocked) with nft -c, but did not install it or rerun.

The preserved before transcript from the handoff is Setup is already running on this host. Wait for it to finish, then try again. (status 73). The post-fix transcript remains incomplete. A preserved verify-fast-final.log exists, but this continuation has not run a fresh final gate or verified its overall result. Resume requires scope reset, then restore the archived fixture, apply the isolated test route, rerun the end-to-end test, and run the final gate.

Resuming J93 under the approved three-hour bound. Branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305, current head e3baea3a740c61f53eaa28d3d609aee028ab468d; latest origin/dev base 1e1ddfb633e5689f06d42decc427a1828f1ab307.

Plan and estimate (2h45m):

1. Add the adapter step-label regression, make labels identify prepare-join-key, and advertise the test server’s actual 4930 listener; run focused tests on the VM.
2. Restore the archived fixture on compute01, capture the status-73 before transcript, then replay add-host without host firewall changes; verify stale-lock takeover, old service/shim cleanup, new service, identity endpoint, and a terminal over the 443 path.
3. Rebase onto latest origin/dev, check both VM queues, run scripts/verify fast on the emptier VM, push this branch, and post the head SHA plus gate output.

No shared VM firewall rules will be installed. If the 443 proof requires a test-only seam or network namespace, keep it isolated to the test harness/replay.

Finding: the focused regression is red on compute01 as intended. breakit2_step_labels_join_key_preflight_as_connect ran and failed with left: "commit", right: "connect" (1 failed, exit 101). The crate compiled; the build emitted two existing russh warnings. Code and log are in the J93 worktree and /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93/step-label-red.log. The test server also binds its TLS app listener separately from the remote transport listener; I will merge the production /remote/agent route and advertise the actual TLS app port 4930.

Update: the test-first adapter regression is green on compute01. breakit2_step_labels_join_key_preflight_as_connect: 1 passed, 0 failed; exit 0. Unmatched empty-input commands now report command, the private commit signal remains commit, and prepare-join-key reports connect. The harness now starts its direct remote listener on an allocated port and runs the public HTTPS/WebSocket route on the origin it advertises at 4930; it no longer rewrites the advertised endpoint to 443.

Latest field evidence (2026-11-03): production dev 299b7ad30 returned the exact message “The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format. Host provisioning left it untouched.” during Connect. I will make the archived #305 replay exercise this old-format journal path and prove that it reaches safe replacement or one confirmed recovery action, never a dead end.

Updated plan for the approved three-hour bound:

1. Make the harness assert the exact old-format failure path, advertise the TLS/WebSocket listener at its real HTTPS origin on port 4930, and report the actual prepare-join-key step. No host firewall rules.
2. Restore the archived fixture on the disposable j93fixture target; capture the status-73 before transcript, then replay the fix and verify stale-lock takeover, old unit/shim cleanup, the new agent on the 443 path, and terminal I/O.
3. Rebase on current origin/dev, check both build-slot queues, run scripts/verify fast, push fix-stale-bootstrap-305, and record the head SHA and gate output verbatim here.

Remaining estimate: 2h30m, including the shared VM queue; stop at the approved three-hour bound.

Latest field evidence (2026-11-03): production dev 299b7ad30 returned the exact message “The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format. Host provisioning left it untouched.” during Connect.

Finding: the 4930 replay now reports the real connect step, but the SSH-side prepare-join-key exits 2 before enrollment (65.621 ms). In crates/infraternal/src/remote.rs, this preflight explicitly uses system trust roots (preflight(origin, None, true)); the disposable server certificate is generated for the test and is not installed in the target's system trust store. I will pass its public CA through a compile-gated test-support path for this one harness command. The listener remains advertised at 4930, and no host firewall rules have been installed.

The adapter's new scoping regression is red as intended on compute01 (1 test failed at the missing root export); the earlier step-label regression is already green. The J93 run is no longer queued or active.

J93 resume under the approved three-hour bound. Current branch head is 68e4b5e09a; refreshed origin/dev is a6812c3cf5. There are four uncommitted harness/test-support changes for the live HTTPS listener path.

New field evidence: the production screenshot shows Connect to the host failing with the exact server message “The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format. Host provisioning left it untouched.” The replay must exercise the archived kind=upgrade journal that produces this path, not only the status-73 lock refusal.

The private fixture archive is present and its member list confirms the old binary, 7443 identity, enabled unit snapshot, and bootstrap-payload shim; its synthetic identity key remains unread. The prior baseline transcript with status 73 is preserved. A previous fixed-path replay stopped at TLS verification before enrollment, so the pending harness change supplies the disposable CA only to the test-enabled prepare-join-key invocation at the actual HTTPS listener on :4930. No host nft rules have been installed.

Remaining plan: rebase on refreshed origin/dev; restore the archive to disposable j93fixture and replay both the exact old-format path and takeover; verify old unit/shim retirement, 443 enrollment and terminal I/O with 7443 blocked; run scripts/verify fast, push this branch, and post the head plus gate output. Estimate: up to 2.5 hours, hard stop at 13:44 IST. Queue snapshot: compute01 4/4 busy with one queued; dev-02 has one free slot, two queued, and disk above the 25 GB floor.

Finding: the live replay harness binds RemoteListeners on controller_ip:0 and publishes that ephemeral endpoint, even though production's public agent path is 443. The separate HTTPS/WebSocket origin is correctly advertised as :4930 and bound on :4930 for prepare-join-key. I added a red assertion that BREAKIT2_AGENT_LINK_PORT=443 must be the actual advertised listener port. Next I will implement this test-only seam and run the archived fixture replay in an isolated network namespace with the listener on 443 and TCP/UDP 7443 blackholed; no host nft rules.

RED evidence for the listener finding: on dev-02, the ignored live replay with BREAKIT2_AGENT_LINK_PORT=443 failed at the new endpoint assertion as expected (actual listener port 42769, requested 443; 1 test, 0 passed, exit 101). This confirms the current harness did not exercise the 443 agent path. I added the test-only port selection in the harness; the HTTP origin remains bound and advertised at :4930, with no host firewall changes.

Finding: the field screenshot's exact “The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format. Host provisioning left it untouched.” text is previous_attempt::REFUSED_MESSAGE; classify emits it for status 75 when parse_check refuses the check output. The archived fixture already has a regression that asserts its kind=upgrade journal is classified as INFRATERNAL_SETUP_UPGRADE, and I am adding focused coverage for the test adapter's setup-step labels.

The disposable j93fixture home on compute01 no longer matches the archive after earlier replay attempts: its activating marker is absent and its user unit is disabled/inactive. The original archive remains intact, so I will restore from it before capturing a fresh baseline and fixed replay. No access or changes to live code, and no host firewall rules.

Finding (test adapter): the real producers in crates/plugins/ssh/src/openssh.rs and install.rs use INFRATERNAL_TRANSFER_SETUP_V1; the adapter omitted the N, and the red focused test returned left: "join", right: "reuse_setup" (exit 101). I corrected that transfer marker and am checking the ordinary setup marker separately before making both classifications green.

Finding: with the transfer marker corrected, the focused test reached the ordinary setup assertion and failed with left: "join", right: "setup". The real installer header is INFRATERNAL_SETUP_STEPS_V1; the adapter's INFRATERAL spelling omitted the N. Both header mismatches are now isolated by the same test-first regression.

J93c takeover (Claude Opus 5.5), after the J93 Codex run stopped on a provider 429 at about 12:30 IST.

State found:

• Pushed branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305 head 68e4b5e09 (2 commits on origin/dev 447803d7e). Local worktree ~/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-J93 is rebased to 75ffa888c (on 7add12640, not pushed) plus 4 uncommitted files: step-label header spelling fix (INFRATERNAL_*), a test-only HTTPS root for prepare-join-key, and a BREAKIT2_AGENT_LINK_PORT listener override.
• No J93 process running on compute01 or dev-02. The last replay (replay-after-legacy-journal-fix.log) was killed while still queued in build-slot; the last completed replay (replacement-4930-after.log) failed at prepare-join-key status 2: the disposable server CA is not in the target's trust store.
• The fixture archive is intact on compute01; the disposable j93fixture home has drifted from it and must be restored before the replay.

Changes to the plan:

• Drop the test-support env hook added to the product binary (crates/infraternal/src/remote.rs). The preflight already calls OpenSSL set_default_verify_paths, which reads the standard SSL_CERT_FILE. The harness exports that variable for the one preflight command, so no test seam is added to the shipped auth path.
• Drop the 443 listener override as well. Per the 09:05 IST scope reset, the harness advertises the ports it really binds (HTTPS origin 4930, the agent listener on its allocated port). No host nft rules and no network namespace.

Remaining plan (estimate 2.5 h including queue waits):

1. Commit the harness fixes (header labels, scoped SSL_CERT_FILE), then rebase onto origin/dev 7c082bddf.
2. Restore the archive to j93fixture with the old installer's owners and modes, then replay add-host end to end on compute01 (x86-only fixture): old-format journal recognized, stale lease taken over, old unit and shim retired, new infraternal agent enrolled, terminal I/O.
3. Run scripts/verify fast, push this branch only, and post the head SHA and gate output here. No merge, no deploy, and the real code host is not touched.

J93c progress (14:55 IST). Branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305 head d8a806ae9, rebased on origin/dev 7c082bddf.

New commits:

• 145b41dcd test(bootstrap): the live replay now trusts its disposable CA through SSL_CERT_FILE, set only for the prepare-join-key preflight. The product-binary test-support trust hook and the 443 listener override from the uncommitted J93 work were dropped, because the harness advertises the ports it really binds and no host nft is used. The step labels now match the real INFRATERNAL_*_V1 headers.
• 5c977ccd4 ssh: the ~50 anonymous exit 75 checks behind "The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format" now report a fixed cause token (INFRATERNAL_SETUP_REFUSED <cause>) in the read-only check, mapped to trusted text. Mutating callers still exit 75.
• d8a806ae9 ssh: finding from reading the D291 code. A fresh add-host that stops at Connect (prepare-join-key copies state into .bootstrap-lock/state, and staging publishes .bootstrap-lock/cache) left a lock that the fresh inspection refused as "unsupported format". This is a second plausible cause of the code field message, besides the archived kind=upgrade journal. Those entries plus the fresh activation markers are now accepted as private trees and markers, and recovery uses the existing fresh rollback.

Fixture: I restored j93fixture on compute01 from the archive (SHA-256 fdd9c4ed…, unchanged): old 21,443,824-byte binary, activating/replacing-* markers, a dead lease 99999999/1, an enabled unit in auto-restart against 127.0.0.1:7443, and a live __shim from .bootstrap-lock/payload. The end-to-end replay is queued on compute01 (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93c/replay-1.log). Focused shell and parser tests are queued on dev-02 (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93c/focused.log).

Finding (root cause of the post-takeover Connect failure, and a likely source of the code field message).

Replays 1 and 2 against the restored archived fixture (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93c/replay-{1,2}.log on compute01) both got past the old journal:

REPLACEMENT breakit2 action=start_fresh accepted=true
METRIC breakit2 event=Check ... message=Earlier setup leftovers removed. Continuing the setup steps.
METRIC breakit2 step=connect elapsed_ms=63.624 ok=false
FAILURE breakit2 phase=Install kind=Install step=Some(Connect) status=Some(2)
METRIC breakit2 step=rollback elapsed_ms=2031.657 ok=false

The takeover itself works: the old unit was stopped and disabled, and the old __shim is gone. The new failure is in the D291 prepare-join-key script (crates/plugins/ssh/src/install.rs, the same on origin/dev since 1a92d0c77). Staging leaves a $stage/lease record. The script calls retire_setup_lease, which kills the lease process and keeps the record, and then start_setup_lease, which runs printf > "$stage/lease" under set -euC. noclobber refuses that write, so dash exits 2 and bash exits 1. I reproduced this in isolation on compute01:

first-lease-ok
retired
t.sh: 16: cannot create .../.bootstrap-lock/lease: File exists
dash exit=2

At that moment the new sleep 180 lease child already holds the stage flock, and the record still names the dead process. After replay 2 the fixture showed lease = 53122 … and an orphan sleep PID 53762 with fd 7 on .bootstrap-lock. Rollback cannot identify the orphan, so its flock -w 2 times out (exit 73, which explains the 2031 ms rollback), and "Automatic cleanup could not finish". The stage remains with state/ from key preparation. On the next add-host, current dev refuses that fresh lock as "The earlier setup journal has an unsupported or changed format", which is the owner's exact text.

Every add-host with an HTTPS enrollment origin runs this script, so this should fail on any host, not only on hosts with old journals.

Fix in 5db0457bf: remove the lease record after retiring it, as handoff_setup_lease already does. A regression test stages a payload, prepares the join key and checks that a live lease is held afterwards. d8a806ae9 lets the fresh-lock inspection accept the state/cache leftovers so that hosts already stuck this way recover. 5c977ccd4 makes the refusal name its cause. The combined focused tests and replay 3 are queued on compute01 (run-3.log).

J93c progress (18:52 IST). Head c18c79951. Each replay restores j93fixture from the unchanged archive (SHA-256 fdd9c4ed…) and replays add-host through the real SSH path against a disposable in-process server, with the HTTPS origin on :4930 (the port the harness really binds). No host nft is used and code is not touched.

Replays 3 to 9 peeled off one blocker at a time. Every product blocker below also exists on origin/dev:

1. 5db0457bf: the lease restart in prepare-join-key failed under set -C (dash exit 2), leaving an orphan sleep that held the stage flock. Rollback then timed out, and the leftover lock produced the "unsupported format" text on the next add-host. (Posted earlier.)
2. caf2f420a: Failure::at(Connect) overwrote every PREPARE-REFUSED receipt with the generic "Connecting to the host failed". Replay 4 then named the real cause: "cannot verify the server's public HTTPS certificate".
3. 6e145d594 (harness): the test CA was written under nix's private 0700 TMPDIR, so the target user could not read it.
4. Fixture correction (VM restore script only, archive unchanged): the archive's synthetic identity used a P-256 key and standard padded base64. b-0.1.0 (7bf03044f) writes Ed25519 and URL-safe unpadded base64, so the old infraternal agent in the fixture could never run. With a real-shaped identity, the 21,443,824-byte old binary now stays active (running) (NRestarts=0), as a live 7443-era agent on code would.
5. cd9d0e978: that running old agent binds sessions/plugins.sock as 0775, and the upgrade inspection required 0600 and refused with 71. Now accepted, because the 0700 parent directory owned by the user is the boundary.
6. 572be6297: a refused replacement had already disabled the unit, and the next inspection refused with 71 (a dead end). A disabled unit is now accepted. The shell-oracle test that contradicted the fail-closed rule (it failed on 145b41dcd as well) was corrected.
7. c18c79951: the join step still refused the $stage/state that D291 key preparation creates (exit 71 at Join, replay 9). D291 added the code that reuses that state but left the older guard in place.

Replay 9 state: Check, then replacement of the stuck install (old service stopped, old shim stopped), then Connect: HTTPS preflight OK, key prepared and invitation reissued, then Join exit 71 (fixed in item 7). Focused suites: the ssh install tests 8/8 and the shell oracle (now 47 tests) pass. Run 10 (focused tests and replay) is queued on compute01.

(Posted earlier.) 2. `caf2f420a`: `Failure::at(Connect)` overwrote every `PREPARE-REFUSED` receipt with the generic "Connecting to the host failed". Replay 4 then named the real cause: "cannot verify the server's public HTTPS certificate". 3. `6e145d594` (harness): the test CA was written under nix's private 0700 TMPDIR, so the target user could not read it. 4. Fixture correction (VM restore script only, archive unchanged): the archive's synthetic identity used a P-256 key and standard padded base64. b-0.1.0 (7bf03044f) writes Ed25519 and URL-safe unpadded base64, so the old infraternal agent in the fixture could never run. With a real-shaped identity, the 21,443,824-byte old binary now stays `active (running)` (NRestarts=0), as a live 7443-era agent on `code` would. 5. `cd9d0e978`: that running old agent binds `sessions/plugins.sock` as 0775, and the upgrade inspection required 0600 and refused with 71. Now accepted, because the 0700 parent directory owned by the user is the boundary. 6. `572be6297`: a refused replacement had already disabled the unit, and the next inspection refused with 71 (a dead end). A disabled unit is now accepted. The shell-oracle test that contradicted the fail-closed rule (it failed on 145b41dcd as well) was corrected. 7. `c18c79951`: the join step still refused the `$stage/state` that D291 key preparation creates (exit 71 at Join, replay 9). D291 added the code that reuses that state but left the older guard in place. Replay 9 state: Check, then replacement of the stuck install (old service stopped, old shim stopped), then Connect: HTTPS preflight OK, key prepared and invitation reissued, then Join exit 71 (fixed in item 7). Focused suites: the ssh install tests 8/8 and the shell oracle (now 47 tests) pass. Run 10 (focused tests and replay) is queued on compute01.

Scope note (19:55 IST): I am past 2× the 2.5 h estimate. I am stopping the replay work here and only finishing the gate.

Replay 10 at c18c79951 now gets through Check, the stuck-install replacement (the running old infraternal agent is stopped and disabled, and its shim is stopped through its session socket), the HTTPS preflight on :4930, key preparation, the invitation reissue and the setup upload. It then fails at Join with exit 1: infraternal agent join refuses the copied 7443-era identity because it was issued by another server. enrolled_key() requires stored.server_name to equal the inviting server, and the stored CA to equal or chain to the inviting CA. The fixture identity names j93fixture.invalid and J93's throwaway CA. On code it would name the previous production server and that server's CA. That is the real field condition, not an artifact: production was redeployed fresh on ssh.kayg.org.

This needs an owner decision; see my final report. Gate: the first scripts/verify fast run (dev-02, 89dbbd3d5) failed clippy in J93's sessions-stop code (fixed in 029940a6a, a refactor with no behaviour change) and failed 8/11 agent_daemon real-binary tests (prepare_shell timed out waiting for FIXTURE_READY). I am running agent_daemon on pure origin/dev bcca3054f on compute01 to see whether dev itself has this failure (dev merged #324 "parked output remainder" at 13:22 CET). Then I run the final gate on 029940a6a.

Earlier dev-02 gate runs failed agent_daemon real-binary tests (8/11 failed on one run, 1/11 on another; different tests each time, prepare_shell timeouts). The same tests pass 11/11 on compute01, both on pure origin/dev bcca3054f and on this branch, and they pass again in this gate. I treat it as dev-02 load flakiness.

Done (all with regressions)

• J93 (Codex): stuck-upgrade journal recognised, stale lease proven dead by PID and start time, old unit stopped and its shim stopped through its session socket, failed activation marked failed, lock holder named.
• a62c91d0d names the refusal cause instead of "unsupported or changed format" (fixed tokens mapped to trusted text; mutating callers still exit 75).
• af0e3f456 recovers a fresh setup that stopped at Connect (state/cache leftovers from D291).
• 00ffa5e93 D291 bug on dev: prepare-join-key restarted the lease under set -C → exit 2, plus an orphan flock holder, so cleanup could not finish and every later add-host refused. This is the most likely source of the code field text.
• f8bcdbc62 dev bug: every HTTPS preflight cause (DNS/443/TLS/upgrade/challenge) was overwritten with "Connecting to the host failed".
• 89dbbd3d5 D291 bug on dev: the Join step refused the state that key preparation had just staged (exit 71).
• 6bf5af8ca accepts a running b-0.1.0 agent's 0775 plugins.sock. 4992ae7f8 keeps a half-replaced install retryable after its unit was disabled. 548e8f36b restores method fallback after J93's auth change (6 auth_order tests). Test, clippy and fmt fixes are in separate commits.

Not done: end-to-end replay stops at Join

Replay 10, against the archive restored with a b-0.1.0-shaped identity and a live old infraternal agent: Check → stuck install replaced → HTTPS preflight → key prepared → invitation reissued → setup upload → Join exit 1. enrolled_key() refuses the old identity because its server_name and CA belong to another server (the fixture's throwaway one, and on code the previous production server). No terminal I/O was proven.

Owner decision needed: when a stuck install's identity was issued by a different server or CA, should add-host (a) refuse by name ("this host is enrolled with another server"), or (b) after an explicit confirmation, set the old state aside under .bootstrap-superseded-<ts>, enroll as a new host with a new key and fresh state, and retire the old unit and shim as it does now? Recommendation: (b). The old server cannot reach the host, and the host-key immutability rule (#78) is about re-enrolling with the same server, not about carrying a dead server's key forward. Separately, reissue_stuck_install requires the current server to still hold the host record. A freshly deployed server does not, so (b) also needs to fall back to a new host id.

Fixture notes

• The archive is unchanged (SHA-256 fdd9c4ed…). Its synthetic identity.json was not something b-0.1.0 writes: it has a P-256 key and standard padded base64, while 7bf03044f writes Ed25519 and URL-safe unpadded base64. The restore script (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93c/restore-fixture.sh, run as root) rewrites it on restore. j93fixture is now restored with its old agent running.
• Every target dir for this job is deleted on both VMs. The real code host and production were not touched.

J144 independent review of fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ 47f056566 (vs origin/dev): REQUEST CHANGES

Scope: correctness and security of the host-side recovery and the three dev fixes. I read CLAUDE.md, D13 (sessions survive agent upgrades; the brief cites this as D166, which in DECISIONS.md is mesh keys), D168, D291, all of #305, and the full diff (shell, runtime_lock.rs, bootstrap.rs, bootstrap_remote.rs, model.rs, auth_order.rs, tracer).

The three dev fixes are sound. rm -f "$stage/lease" before start_setup_lease, and it runs under the guard. The fixed-text PREPARE-REFUSED causes. The Join guard removal, where line 15 still validates $stage/state. The kill path is careful: the lease is checked by start ticks plus fd/7 -ef $stage, and shims by SO_PEERCRED, the Hello PID, start ticks and a pidfd. I found no shell injection, no symlink following and no secret or path leak in the error messages.

The blocking problem is the order of operations in the new replacement path. It destroys the old install before anything proves the new one can enroll.

P1

P1-1: Replace destroys the old install before the server checks it can re-enroll the host.

• Where: crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:1134 (await_start_fresh → replace_stuck_install), which runs before bootstrap.rs:1189 (reissue_stuck_install). The refusals sit in crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_remote.rs:648 (host record gone) and :663 (CA locked, D168), plus the digest check, plus the Join that refuses an identity from another server (J93c, replay 10).
• Scenario: the field case. code is re-added to the freshly deployed ssh.kayg.org server. replace_stuck_install stops and disables the old infraternal agent, SIGHUPs every session shell, and runs rm -rf .bootstrap-lock (previous_attempt.sh:523-531). Then the server answers "The interrupted install no longer matches this enrolled host", or Join exits 1 on the foreign server_name/CA. Nothing re-enables the unit. The host ends up with no running infraternal agent, its sessions gone, and still not enrolled. The same happens whenever the CA is locked after a cold start.
• Fix: at Check time, before Replace is offered, check on the server that the host is registered to this owner, that the digest matches, and that the issuer is ready. If the host is unknown to this server, refuse by name until kayg decides J93c's option (a) or (b). Mutate only after every server-side precondition holds.

P1-2: replace_stuck_install stops and disables the unit before proving the cleanup can finish.

• Where: crates/plugins/ssh/src/previous_attempt.sh:523-530.
• Scenario: after stop and disable, any of these exits early and leaves the agent stopped and disabled, with some sessions possibly already ended:
  • runtime_helper returns 76;
  • sessions-stop returns 77 or 73: a shell that ignores or traps SIGHUP, or a shim that does not exit within the 2 s windows in runtime_lock.rs;
  • stop_stage_shims returns 73: any process running the staged payload without a session socket;
  • not_live returns 73: any same-user process with a file under $base open, for example a pager or a backup tool.
• crates/plugins/ssh/tests/previous_attempt_shell.py:617-621 asserts this stopped-and-disabled state as the expected outcome.
• Fix: run every read-only proof before stop: helper level, the payload-process scan, and not_live (excluding the unit's own MainPID and the shims about to be stopped). If something fails after stop, restore the old state: record was-enabled/was-active the way ACTIVATE does, then re-enable and restart, or run ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION. Change the test to assert the unit is enabled and active after a refusal.

P2

P2-1: Replace ends every live terminal session, and the confirmation says no sessions are live (D13).

• Where: stop_sessions sends SIGHUP to every *.sock session (crates/plugins/remote/src/runtime_lock.rs:575). inspect_upgrade counts sockets whether or not anything is listening (previous_attempt.sh:276). The confirmation then lists "Local sockets with no listener" (previous_attempt.rs:327).
• Scenario: the fixture has a live __shim with a bash session on its socket. The person is told no sockets are listening, clicks "Replace the stuck install", and the shell is hung up.
• Fix: count only kernel-bound sockets and say "N open terminal sessions will end". Whether a replacement may end sessions at all, against D13, is kayg's decision.

P2-2: Replace is offered for a healthy infraternal agent whose lease only expired.

• Where: previous_attempt.sh:264 treats activating/failed plus a dead lease as stuck. The lease is sleep 180 (setup_lock.sh:14), renewed per step. The attempt deadline is a setting that defaults to 180 s (manifest.rs:10).
• Scenario: an upgrade's activation succeeds, but the SSH connection drops after START and before commit removes the stage. Or the wait after START outlasts the lease. The next add-host, from any browser, offers Replace and stops a working, connected infraternal agent.
• Fix: before offering Replace, ask the server whether this host is connected now with this install's identity. If it is, finish (commit) the journal instead of replacing.

P2-3: Replace deletes the journal's rollback material.

• Where: previous_attempt.sh:531 runs rm -rf "$stage". That discards previous-binary, previous-state and previous-unit, which validate_upgrade_stage had accepted. The plan in comment 74511 was to reuse ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION.
• Scenario: an upgrade stuck after previous-state was moved aside. If the old enrolled identity exists only in previous-state, it is lost. Combined with P1-1, nothing is left to roll back to.
• Fix: run the existing ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION. Or set the stage aside as .bootstrap-superseded-<ts> and delete it only after the new enrollment commits.

P3

P3-1: Control variables can be inherited from the environment.

• Where: setup_guarded and setup_blocked (setup_guard.sh:19-20) and setup_check (runtime_cleanup.sh:4) are read with defaults but never initialised in the prelude (install.rs:926).
• Scenario: an inherited setup_check=yes turns every refuse in a mutating script into exit 0, which reads as success. setup_blocked=yes skips the guard. This needs the same user, so it is a robustness problem, not privilege escalation.
• Fix: set all three to no in the prelude.

P3-2: The lock diagnostic does not say what #305 item 4 asked for.

• "Machine" is the target's own hostname, not the server or attempt that holds the lock.
• When the holder is found through fd/9, "since" falls back to the lease file's mtime, which can belong to a different process.
• The active-lock text says "replace the stuck install" (model.rs:381), but that button only exists for upgrade journals.
• Fix: put the server name and attempt id into the lease record, and match the text to the action actually offered.

P3-3: Dead code in stop_stage_shims.

• Where: previous_attempt.sh:499-512. Every branch of the loop exits 73, so the process_start_ticks/-ef rechecks do nothing and read like a kill path.
• Fix: reduce it to "any staged-payload process → 73", with a comment.

Fresh lock left behind: no finding

A concurrent add-host is fenced by the parent guard during its commands, and by the lease's stage flock between commands. Under either fence, inspect_previous reports INFRATERNAL_SETUP_LOCKED and does not offer Start fresh. The new rm -f "$stage/lease" runs under the guard. If the fresh-path lease expires, the other browser's next step fails the transaction check (exit 72), which is safe.

Test quality

• join_key_preparation_restarts_the_lease_and_feeds_enrollment fails without 00ffa5e93 (the set -euC prelude plus the lease left by staging) and also without 89dbbd3d5. It is a good regression, though it covers two fixes. join_key_preflight_refusal_keeps_its_https_cause fails without f8bcdbc62. I checked both by reading the code; I did not rebuild to confirm they go red.
• test_replacement_keeps_an_unauthenticated_payload_process_and_stays_retryable locks in P1-2.
• No test covers P1-1: replacing_a_journaled_old_install_reissues_… only uses a server that still holds the host record. Nothing tests an unknown host, a locked CA or a foreign-CA identity after replacement.
• There is no end-to-end proof. Replay 10 stops at Join, so no terminal I/O over the new infraternal agent has been shown.

Fixture replay

Not run. restore-fixture.sh must run as root, and claude on compute01 has no passwordless sudo (sudo: a password is required). That means I could not restore the fixture afterwards. I stopped my run while it was still compiling, before it touched j93fixture, and deleted the 139 MB partial target. The fixture is unchanged: the old infraternal agent is PID 383676 and the payload __shim is PID 383688, both running. For P1-1 and P1-2 I relied on the code and on J93c's run-10.log. The real code host and production were not touched. No code was changed, so the gate does not apply.

## J144 independent review of `fix-stale-bootstrap-305` @ `47f056566` (vs origin/dev): **REQUEST CHANGES** Scope: correctness and security of the host-side recovery and the three dev fixes.

Mutate only after every server-side precondition holds. **P1-2: `replace_stuck_install` stops and disables the unit before proving the cleanup can finish.** - Where: `crates/plugins/ssh/src/previous_attempt.sh:523-530`. - Scenario: after `stop` and `disable`, any of these exits early and leaves the agent stopped and disabled, with some sessions possibly already ended: - `runtime_helper` returns 76; - `sessions-stop` returns 77 or 73: a shell that ignores or traps SIGHUP, or a shim that does not exit within the 2 s windows in `runtime_lock.rs`; - `stop_stage_shims` returns 73: any process running the staged payload without a session socket; - `not_live` returns 73: any same-user process with a file under `$base` open, for example a pager or a backup tool. - `crates/plugins/ssh/tests/previous_attempt_shell.py:617-621` asserts this stopped-and-disabled state as the expected outcome. - Fix: run every read-only proof before `stop`: helper level, the payload-process scan, and `not_live` (excluding the unit's own MainPID and the shims about to be stopped). If something fails after `stop`, restore the old state: record `was-enabled`/`was-active` the way ACTIVATE does, then re-enable and restart, or run `ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION`. Change the test to assert the unit is enabled and active after a refusal. ### P2 **P2-1: Replace ends every live terminal session, and the confirmation says no sessions are live (D13).** - Where: `stop_sessions` sends SIGHUP to every `*.sock` session (`crates/plugins/remote/src/runtime_lock.rs:575`). `inspect_upgrade` counts sockets whether or not anything is listening (`previous_attempt.sh:276`). The confirmation then lists "Local sockets with no listener" (`previous_attempt.rs:327`). - Scenario: the fixture has a live `__shim` with a bash session on its socket. The person is told no sockets are listening, clicks "Replace the stuck install", and the shell is hung up. - Fix: count only kernel-bound sockets and say "N open terminal sessions will end". Whether a replacement may end sessions at all, against D13, is kayg's decision. **P2-2: Replace is offered for a healthy infraternal agent whose lease only expired.** - Where: `previous_attempt.sh:264` treats `activating`/`failed` plus a dead lease as stuck. The lease is `sleep 180` (`setup_lock.sh:14`), renewed per step. The attempt deadline is a setting that defaults to 180 s (`manifest.rs:10`). - Scenario: an upgrade's activation succeeds, but the SSH connection drops after START and before commit removes the stage. Or the wait after START outlasts the lease. The next add-host, from any browser, offers Replace and stops a working, connected infraternal agent. - Fix: before offering Replace, ask the server whether this host is connected now with this install's identity. If it is, finish (commit) the journal instead of replacing. **P2-3: Replace deletes the journal's rollback material.** - Where: `previous_attempt.sh:531` runs `rm -rf "$stage"`. That discards `previous-binary`, `previous-state` and `previous-unit`, which `validate_upgrade_stage` had accepted. The plan in comment 74511 was to reuse `ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION`. - Scenario: an upgrade stuck after `previous-state` was moved aside. If the old enrolled identity exists only in `previous-state`, it is lost. Combined with P1-1, nothing is left to roll back to. - Fix: run the existing `ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION`. Or set the stage aside as `.bootstrap-superseded-<ts>` and delete it only after the new enrollment commits. ### P3 **P3-1: Control variables can be inherited from the environment.** - Where: `setup_guarded` and `setup_blocked` (`setup_guard.sh:19-20`) and `setup_check` (`runtime_cleanup.sh:4`) are read with defaults but never initialised in the prelude (`install.rs:926`). - Scenario: an inherited `setup_check=yes` turns every `refuse` in a mutating script into `exit 0`, which reads as success. `setup_blocked=yes` skips the guard. This needs the same user, so it is a robustness problem, not privilege escalation. - Fix: set all three to `no` in the prelude. **P3-2: The lock diagnostic does not say what #305 item 4 asked for.** - "Machine" is the target's own `hostname`, not the server or attempt that holds the lock. - When the holder is found through `fd/9`, "since" falls back to the lease file's mtime, which can belong to a different process. - The active-lock text says "replace the stuck install" (`model.rs:381`), but that button only exists for upgrade journals. - Fix: put the server name and attempt id into the lease record, and match the text to the action actually offered. **P3-3: Dead code in `stop_stage_shims`.** - Where: `previous_attempt.sh:499-512`. Every branch of the loop exits 73, so the `process_start_ticks`/`-ef` rechecks do nothing and read like a kill path. - Fix: reduce it to "any staged-payload process → 73", with a comment. ### Fresh lock left behind: no finding A concurrent add-host is fenced by the parent guard during its commands, and by the lease's stage flock between commands. Under either fence, `inspect_previous` reports `INFRATERNAL_SETUP_LOCKED` and does not offer Start fresh. The new `rm -f "$stage/lease"` runs under the guard. If the fresh-path lease expires, the other browser's next step fails the transaction check (exit 72), which is safe. ### Test quality - `join_key_preparation_restarts_the_lease_and_feeds_enrollment` fails without `00ffa5e93` (the `set -euC` prelude plus the lease left by staging) and also without `89dbbd3d5`. It is a good regression, though it covers two fixes. `join_key_preflight_refusal_keeps_its_https_cause` fails without `f8bcdbc62`. I checked both by reading the code; I did not rebuild to confirm they go red. - `test_replacement_keeps_an_unauthenticated_payload_process_and_stays_retryable` locks in P1-2. - No test covers P1-1: `replacing_a_journaled_old_install_reissues_…` only uses a server that still holds the host record. Nothing tests an unknown host, a locked CA or a foreign-CA identity after replacement. - There is no end-to-end proof. Replay 10 stops at Join, so no terminal I/O over the new infraternal agent has been shown. ### Fixture replay Not run. `restore-fixture.sh` must run as root, and `claude` on compute01 has no passwordless sudo (`sudo: a password is required`). That means I could not restore the fixture afterwards. I stopped my run while it was still compiling, before it touched `j93fixture`, and deleted the 139 MB partial target. The fixture is unchanged: the old infraternal agent is PID 383676 and the payload `__shim` is PID 383688, both running. For P1-1 and P1-2 I relied on the code and on J93c's `run-10.log`. The real `code` host and production were not touched. No code was changed, so the gate does not apply.

J93d start (Claude Opus 5.5).

Part 1 (the three dev bugs J144 confirmed): new branch addhost-dev-fixes-305, cut from origin/dev 122552d62, head d7bb53849. It holds only:

• 971995583 lease restart under set -C (was 00ffa5e93)
• 35d003200 keep the HTTPS preflight cause (was f8bcdbc62, with its rustfmt hunk from 9937aa5c6 folded in so the commit passes fmt by itself)
• d7bb53849 Join accepts the D291 key-step state (was 89dbbd3d5)

No Replace-path code. Plan: scripts/verify fast on dev-02, plus a red run of the regressions with the three source hunks reverted. Then I post the head here and stop Part 1.

Part 2 (J144 findings P1-1 … P3-3) follows on fix-stale-bootstrap-305 (head 47f056566), rebased onto Part 1. Estimate 5 h including queue waits and the root fixture replay on compute01.

J93d Part 2 plan (J144 findings), on fix-stale-bootstrap-305, now rebased onto Part 1 (ba6b3db90; the duplicate f8bcdbc62 copy is dropped, and the tree is otherwise identical to 47f056566). Each item is its own commit with a test that fails first.

• P3-1 The prelude sets setup_check=no setup_blocked=no setup_guarded=no. Test: a mutating script run with an inherited setup_check=yes must still exit 75.
• P1-1 The read-only check reports the enrolled identity's key digest, sha256(raw Ed25519 public key) of $base/state/identity.json. This is the same value prepare-join-key binds. A new read-only helper mode computes it; the helper is this server's own binary (runtime level 3→4, so an older cache asks for the existing refresh, 76). A new Backend::check_stuck_install runs at Check time, before anything is offered or changed. It checks that the host is registered to this owner with this address or lookup, that the digest matches the stored digest, and that the CA is unlocked (D168). A host this server doesn't know is refused by name: "This machine is enrolled with another server." Re-enrolling it as a new host is the owner's open decision (J93c option b), so it stays one marked branch. reissue_stuck_install keeps its own checks.
• P2-2 The same Check verdict covers this: if hosts.installed(host) holds (connected, authenticated, digest matches) and the journal is activating, add-host finishes that journal as its own commit would (lease retired, stage removed) and reports "already added". It never offers Replace.
• P2-1 Session counting moves to a helper mode that counts only kernel-bound session sockets. The confirmation says "N open terminal sessions will end" (or "No open terminal sessions"). The count is part of the confirmed record, so a session opened after the click refuses the replacement. This ends sessions, which D13 forbids for upgrades, so it is surfaced for kayg; it is shown and confirmed, not hidden.
• P1-2 replace_stuck_install runs every read-only proof before stop: helper level, plus a liveness scan that excludes the unit's own cgroup and the session shims. It records is-enabled/is-active. After stop, an EXIT trap re-enables and restarts the unit on any failure. The python test now asserts the unit ends enabled and active after a refusal.
• P2-3 The stage is moved aside as $base.bootstrap-superseded-<transaction>, not deleted. The new install's commit removes it, so previous-binary/previous-state/previous-unit survive until the new enrollment commits.
• P3-2 The lock record names the holding attempt (the transaction id from the journal). When the holder is found through the parent guard, since comes from that process's start time, not from a lease file it doesn't own. The active-lock text no longer offers "replace the stuck install", because that action exists only for upgrade journals. Recording the server name would mean threading the origin into every setup script; I leave that out and say so.
• P3-3 stop_stage_shims: the dead rechecks go, leaving "any staged-payload process → 73", with a comment.

Then: a root fixture replay on compute01 (restore j93fixture, replay, terminal I/O, restore again), and scripts/verify fast. Estimate 6 h including queues.

J93d progress (IST 23:15).

Part 1 addhost-dev-fixes-305 @ d7bb53849 (3 commits on origin/dev 122552d62):

• Red/green on dev-02 (log ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93d/p1.log). With the three source hunks reverted and the tests kept, both regressions fail:

  join_key_preflight_refusal_keeps_its_https_cause ... FAILED
    panicked at crates/plugins/ssh/tests/install.rs:345:5:
    Connecting to the host failed. Check SSH access and the host service, then try again.
  join_key_preparation_restarts_the_lease_and_feeds_enrollment ... FAILED
    ... Failure { kind: Install, message: "Connecting to the host failed. ...", failed_step: Some(Connect), exit_status: Some(2), ... }
  

  At the head, both pass (2 passed).
• scripts/verify fast on dev-02: every row passes except test, where one test failed: ring_wrap_snapshot_repaints_real_vim (crates/infraternal/tests/shim.rs:292, WouldBlock reading the real vim PTY under load). That is unrelated to this diff (SSH install scripts only). The full gate is re-queued on compute01 (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93d/p1-gate.log), and I post its verbatim output when it finishes.

Part 2 now also builds D335 (b). WIP snapshot on scratch branch j93d-wip @ 2b788b702. It gets split into atomic commits on fix-stale-bootstrap-305 before handoff; that branch has P3-1, P3-3 and P2-1 committed so far (ac6d179cc). Design as built:

• Check record: the helper (level 5) reports the stuck identity's key digest and server name, read-only.
• Backend::check_stuck_install decides at Check time, before anything is offered or stopped:
  • known host, matching key, CA unlocked → Replace;
  • connected with that identity → Finish the lost commit;
  • host id unknown to this server → Reenroll (D335), but only if this server would accept the machine now (CA unlocked, address not already added);
  • anything else refuses before mutation.
• Re-enroll confirmation: "host is enrolled with another server. It belongs to name. Join it to this server as a new host with a new key. Its old infraternal agent is stopped and set aside, not deleted." It shows "N open terminal sessions will end". The button reads "Join as a new host".
• Host side, in order: every read-only proof (helper, holder scan excluding the unit's cgroup and the payload shims) → record is-enabled/is-active → stop/disable → stop shims → liveness check. An EXIT trap re-enables and restarts the unit on any failure after the stop. Then the whole install moves to $base.bootstrap-superseded-<tx> with its unit and service state. If the new enrollment fails, its rollback runs, then the old install is put back and restarted.
• Replace (this server's host): the journal moves to $base.bootstrap-replaced-<tx>, and the next commit removes it (P2-3).

Iteration on dev-02: shell oracle, plugin-ssh lib and install tests, bun and tsc green. Server tests and workspace clippy are rerunning (iter3-2.log). Next: the fixture replay on compute01 (BREAKIT2_REENROLL_STUCK, fixture identity j93fixture.invalid, which the disposable server never enrolled).

Base origin/dev 122552d62. Three commits, with no Replace-path code:

Part 1 stops here for the orchestrator to merge and deploy. Note: a host that is already stuck from the lease bug keeps a fresh-install lock with state//cache/ from key preparation. Current dev refuses that lock as "unsupported or changed format" until the fresh-lock recovery (af0e3f456 on fix-stale-bootstrap-305) also lands.

Part 1 stops here for the orchestrator to merge and deploy. Note: a host that is *already* stuck from the lease bug keeps a fresh-install lock with `state/`/`cache/` from key preparation. Current dev refuses that lock as "unsupported or changed format" until the fresh-lock recovery (`af0e3f456` on `fix-stale-bootstrap-305`) also lands.

J93d Part 2 progress (IST ~00:50). fix-stale-bootstrap-305 is now 056d347c0: Part 1 plus the Part 2 commits, split atomically. Per-commit red/green and the final scripts/verify fast are queued on compute01 (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93d/rg-compute.log).

Fixture replay on compute01 (root restore, j93fixture, D335 path)

The disposable server never enrolled the fixture identity (server_name j93fixture.invalid), the same as the fresh production server with code. Logs: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93d/replay-{1..4}.log.

• Replay 1: verdict Ok(Reenroll), confirmed, old install set aside. Then the harness hit "SSH host-key proof is unavailable": ObservedBackend never forwarded D291's invitation_registered_with_key (harness-only fix 7ee5f25b9). The failure path then ran on the real host, and the fixture ended as it began: same owner 2047e56c…, same journal, unit enabled and active, old infraternal agent restarted ("The earlier infraternal agent was put back as it was found.").
• Replays 2 and 3: the retirement exited 77 every time with a freshly started shim. strace of sessions-stop on the fixture:

  recvfrom(7, ..., 13) = 13                                # Exited
  sendto(7, ..., 5, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)  # ExitAck
  exit_group(77)
  

  The b-0.1.0 shim closes right after Exited, and stop_session mapped the failed ExitAck to "uncertain". This affects Replace as well, so it is a real bug in the J93 stop path; replay 1 passed only on timing. Fix 056d347c0: a closed peer on ExitAck counts as acknowledged, and wait_for_session_exit still proves the exit and the unbound endpoint. Both times the EXIT trap restored the service.
• Replay 4 (50141fd5e, same tree as 056d347c0 before rustfmt): passed.

J93d Part 2 done: fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ 15b95d5a70d471dcf8a2572e1e6ba5af69c981d2

Red/green log: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93d/rg-compute.log and rg/*.log on compute01, plus the P1-2 run in redgreen-p12.log on dev-02. The P1-1 and P2-2 rows ran on a7f5264e7 and 2556db82a, which differ from the listed commits only by rustfmt; every commit on the branch passes cargo fmt --check. One run at the ExitAck commit failed lifetime_precedes_bind_and_survives_until_last_description_closes (acquire after drop). That test is unrelated to ExitAck, and it passed in both full gates; I suspect a fork from a concurrent python-fixture test briefly holding the inherited lock descriptor. Noting it as a possible flake.

End to end: j93fixture replay 4 (comment 77116)

The disposable server never enrolled the fixture identity (j93fixture.invalid), the field case. Result: Reenroll verdict → confirmation ("…enrolled with another server, j93fixture.invalid … 1 open terminal session will end.") → old install set aside whole → new host 5c7bb36d… → join → facts → terminal canary through the new infraternal agent → commit → Done. Replays 1–3 failed, and each time the fixture ended exactly as it began. Afterwards the fixture was restored from the unchanged archive.

For kayg

1. D13 vs Replace/Re-enroll: both end the stuck install's open terminal sessions. It is shown ("N open terminal sessions will end") and confirmed, not hidden. Whether that is allowed at all is your call.
2. D335 keeps the set-aside copy after a successful re-enroll ($base.bootstrap-superseded-<tx>, including the old private key, private to the user). Nothing removes it yet; say if it should expire.
3. P3-2: the lock names the holding attempt, not the server that started it. No setup program knows the server origin.
4. Hosts already stuck in a fresh-install lock from the Part 1 lease bug need af0e3f456 from this branch to recover. Part 1 alone does not clear them.

J153 independent review of fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ 15b95d5a7 (vs origin/dev 620851b72): REQUEST CHANGES

Scope: what is left after Part 1, which is the Replace, Finish and Re-enroll paths and the shim ExitAck fix 85915fa54. I read CLAUDE.md, D13, D166, D168, D291, D335, J144's review (77033), J93d's reports (77102, 77173) and the full diff: previous_attempt.sh/.rs, bootstrap.rs, bootstrap_remote.rs, runtime_lock.rs, setup_guard.sh, setup_lock.sh, runtime_cleanup.sh, install.rs, the shim, the tracer copy and the tests.

The order inside the shell script is now right. The server decides at Check time, every read-only proof runs before stop, an EXIT trap restores the service, and nothing is deleted. The gap is what happens after the script hands control back to Rust. In Replace mode nothing ever puts the old service back. In Re-enroll mode the restore runs only if the attempt is still alive and the session still works.

Status of J144's findings

J144	Status
P1-1 destroy before the server agrees	Partly fixed. check_stuck_install refuses before anything changes when the host is unknown, foreign, has a key mismatch or the CA is locked. But any failure after the stop in Replace leaves the old agent stopped and disabled (new P1-1 below).
P1-2 stop before proofs, no restore	Fixed inside the script. Remaining gaps: the payload-process scan still runs after the stop (P2-3), and the trap does not survive signals under dash (P2-1).
P2-1 session count / D13	Fixed: only kernel-bound endpoints count, and the count is in the confirmed record, so a change gives exit 75. Whether sessions may end at all is still kayg's call.
P2-2 Replace on a healthy host	Fixed with Finish, but only checked at Check time (P3-1).
P2-3 rollback copies deleted	Fixed: $base.bootstrap-replaced-<tx> stays until the next commit.
P3-1 / P3-2 / P3-3	Fixed. P3-2 names the attempt; the server origin is not known on the host, as 77173 says.

P1

P1-1: After a Replace, any later failure leaves the old infraternal agent stopped and disabled. Nothing restores it.

• Where:
  • crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:1211-1223: the Replace arm records no restore. Only Re-enroll sets resources.superseded (:1236).
  • crates/plugins/ssh/src/previous_attempt.sh:586-592: replace_stuck_install clears the trap with the unit disabled and inactive.
  • crates/plugins/ssh/src/setup_scripts.rs:35-36: the new upgrade's ACTIVATE records was-enabled/was-active after that disable, so its ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION keeps the unit off.
  • The server's final preconditions (reissue_stuck_install, bootstrap_remote.rs:685-715: still registered, digest, CA ready) run at bootstrap.rs:1313, after the stop.
• Scenario: a stuck upgrade of a host this server owns. The old agent is enabled and running (the replay fixture's state). The person confirms "Replace the stuck install":
  1. The script stops and disables the agent, hangs up every session and moves the journal aside.
  2. Then something fails. The host cannot reach the HTTPS origin and Join exits 1, the 180 s deadline passes, the browser cancels, or another administrator revokes the host in the meantime and reissue refuses.
  3. The new upgrade rolls back.
  4. Result: the host is still enrolled on the server, but its infraternal agent is disabled and stopped, its sessions are gone, and it stays offline until someone logs in and runs systemctl enable --now. That is J144's P1-1 end state, now reached through failures after Check instead of refusals at Check.
• Fix:
  • Write replace_enabled replace_active into the replaced journal (for example $base.bootstrap-replaced-<tx>/.replaced-service).
  • Keep a Replace resource the way Re-enroll does. After the new upgrade's rollback, run a restore_replaced_install: move the journal back if $base/.bootstrap-lock is absent, then enable and start the unit as it was found.
  • Re-run check_stuck_install (or the reissue_stuck_install preconditions) after resumed.await and immediately before replace_stuck_install.
  • Add a server test in which Replace fails at Join and the restore script runs, and a shell test with a stateful mock manager that ends enabled and active.

P2

P2-1: The Re-enroll restore is skipped when the attempt ends during or around the set-aside, and later Checks cannot see the set-aside install.

• Where:
  • bootstrap.rs:1787: previous.supersede(...) is awaited before resources.superseded is set at :1236.
  • bootstrap.rs:836 and :868: the restore needs !resources.published, rolled_back and a working session.
  • previous_attempt.sh:387-394: inspect_previous reports INFRATERNAL_SETUP_CLEAR when $base is absent and never looks at $base.bootstrap-superseded-*.
  • previous_attempt.sh:560: the in-script restore is an EXIT trap only. Root mode runs sh -c (install.rs:885), and on compute01 /bin/sh is dash. Measured there: dash -c 'trap "echo restored" EXIT; kill -HUP|TERM|PIPE $$' prints nothing; bash prints restored.
• Scenario: the confirmation wait counts toward the 180 s attempt deadline (bootstrap.rs:804, ATTEMPT_SECONDS).
  1. The person clicks "Join as a new host" at about 170 s.
  2. supersede_stuck_install stops the agent and the sessions, up to about 2 s each.
  3. The deadline fires, the future is dropped and the local ssh is killed (kill_on_drop).
  4. The remote dash has no pty and writes nothing to stdout, so it finishes the set-aside and clears its trap.
  5. Rust never recorded superseded, so no restore runs.
  • Result: the machine has no infraternal agent at all. The next add-host sees CLEAR and installs fresh, and the old install is orphaned with no way back offered. The same happens if the browser cancels, the authority is revoked or the SSH session drops at that point, or if the new install's rollback fails or times out (rolled_back == false).
• Fix:
  • Set resources.superseded before awaiting supersede. restore_superseded_install already refuses safely (71/72) when nothing was moved.
  • Make inspect_previous report the set-aside install, for example INFRATERNAL_SETUP_SUPERSEDED <tx> <server>, whenever $base is absent or only this attempt's fresh receipt exists. Offer "put it back" or "continue as a new host".
  • Also trap HUP INT TERM PIPE in retire_stuck_service, not only EXIT.

P2-2: Re-enroll calls an install "stuck" without checking whether its infraternal agent is running and connected to its own server.

• Where: bootstrap_remote.rs:635-642 returns Reenroll for any host id this server does not know. It does not use request.enrolled or any service state. previous_attempt.rs:349 says "An earlier install stopped while replacing this infraternal agent." apps/tracer/src/canvas/addhost/model.ts:188-189 says "It belongs to X. Join it to this server as a new host…".
• Scenario: server X upgrades the agent, activation succeeds, and the SSH connection drops before commit. The activating marker and a dead lease stay behind. The agent is running the new binary, connected to X, and serving sessions. That is the same shape as J144's P2-2, but for a server we cannot ask. Then an administrator of this server (a colleague, or kayg with a second server) adds the machine. The text says the install stopped. Its liveness is never shown. Confirming disconnects a healthy host from X, ends its sessions and leaves X with a host that never comes back. The host already reports replace_active locally and does not include it in the record.
• Fix:
  • Add the unit's ActiveState, and whether its MainPID started after the journal's lease time, to the upgrade record.
  • When the unit is active and started after the lease, say so: "The infraternal agent is running and may be connected to X now. Joining here disconnects it from X; remove it on X afterwards." Or refuse until kayg decides.
  • When the identity is unreadable (- -), do not claim "enrolled with another server": nothing shows that.

P2-3: A process running the staged payload is still found only after every session has been ended.

• Where: previous_attempt.sh:333 (the pre-stop scan_holders service skips payload processes), then :564 → :533-537 (refusal 73 after sessions-stop). J144 P1-2 asked for "the payload-process scan" before the stop. previous_attempt_shell.py:645-694 asserts the stop, then the restore.
• Scenario: a process runs .bootstrap-lock/payload without serving a session socket. Examples are a prepare-join-key or agent left by a crashed attempt, or the test's sleep. Each Replace or Re-enroll then stops the agent, hangs up every open session, refuses with 73 and restarts the agent. Nothing gets replaced, the sessions are gone, and every retry does the same again.
• Fix: in the helper, run a read-only check before the stop. Map each payload-exe process's socket fds (/proc/<pid>/fd → socket:[ino]) to the inodes of the kernel-bound $base/sessions/**/*.sock (/proc/net/unix). Refuse before the stop if any payload process holds none. Then change the test to expect no manager calls.

P3

P3-1: The Check-time verdict is not re-checked after confirmation. bootstrap_remote.rs:653-654 reads connected and ca_ready once, and the person may wait almost the whole deadline. If the old agent connects in the meantime (it was restarting), Replace stops a connected host that should have got Finish. Fix: the same re-check as in P1-1, which must return the same verdict.

P3-2: The set-aside copy holds the old private key with no expiry.

• Permissions are correct:
  • mv -T keeps the 0700 root, and identity.json stays 0600.
  • The .superseded-service file is created under the prelude's umask 077.
  • The copy is owned by the installing uid. In root mode it sits in /var/lib, which only root can write.
• But it stays forever beside the base: /var/lib/infraternal.bootstrap-superseded-<tx> or ~/.local/share/infraternal.bootstrap-superseded-<tx>. Any backup of those trees includes it. One more piles up with each re-enroll, and it is never shown.
• Server X still trusts that key until its certificate expires (7 days, D168), or longer if X reissues.
• Fix: this is kayg's call (77173 Q2). At least name the copy in the confirmation and at Check. Preferably drop the key material, or the whole copy, once the new host's enrollment has committed.

P3-3: The tests do not cover the paths that fail.

• The shell mock_manager keeps no state: is-enabled and is-active always succeed. So "restored as found" cannot tell an enabled service from a disabled one, and one test unlinks the wants link by hand (previous_attempt_shell.py:693).
• RejoinSession returns empty output for every script, so the server's Re-enroll test passes "put back as it was found" without running any shell.
• No test covers P1-1 (Replace failing after the stop), P2-1 (cancel or deadline during supersede, or a failed rollback) or P2-3.
• Fix: a stateful mock manager, plus those three regressions. Each must fail on this head.

Specific questions from the brief

• Can a malicious target get enrolled as a host it isn't? No.
  • Re-enroll only ever creates a new host id with a new key, which is what a plain add-host gives anyway.
  • Replace needs a host row with the same owner, not revoked, and bound to this exact address or trust lookup (bootstrap_remote.rs:627, :685), plus a digest match.
  • The reissued invitation is key-bound (expected_key_digest, :416-437) and Join proves possession of the key. So a target that reports another host's id and public digest still needs that host's private key.
• Can a host that is live with another server be broken? Yes, after a confirmation that misleads (P2-2).
• Session counting: correct. It counts kernel-bound endpoints only, and the number is in the exact record that the mutating step compares again.
• Killing the wrong process: no finding.
  • The lease is killed only after its start ticks and fd/7 -ef $stage are checked.
  • Shims are checked by SO_PEERCRED, the Hello session id and PID, start ticks before and after, and a pidfd. SIGTERM goes through pidfd_send_signal.
  • 85915fa54 accepts only EPIPE/ECONNRESET, only after Exited was read, and still requires the process to exit and the endpoint to become unbound.
• Shell quoting: no finding. The record goes through shell_quote. set -- $replace_expected is unquoted, but every field is validated to [0-9a-zA-Z._:-]. The prelude now pins all 9 control flags.
• Symlinks and TOCTOU: no finding. Every mutation runs under the parent-directory guard flock. The aside path is checked with ! -e && ! -L before mv -T, and a rename onto a symlink of a directory fails with ENOTDIR. All paths belong to the installing uid.

Fixture replay

Not run. All four build slots on compute01 were busy with a queue, and the j93d debug binary (/home/claude/worktrees/j93d-p1/target) had been swept. The fixture j93fixture is a stuck install from another server, so it can reach only Re-enroll, not Replace (P1-1). P1-1 and P2-1 rest on the code paths cited above. The dash trap behaviour was measured on compute01. J93d's replay-4.log shows the Re-enroll success path end to end. The fixture, the real code host and production were not touched.

No code changed, so the gate does not apply.

J93e start: #305 part 2, round 2 (J153 findings)

Branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305, old head 15b95d5a7, rebased onto origin/dev 620851b72 (part 1 merge) → local head b17a0829d (26 commits, no conflicts). Working in ~/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-J93e on code; builds on compute01/dev-02 through build-slot.

Plan (one commit each, test red first):

1. P3-3 groundwork: stateful shell mock_manager (enabled/active tracked).
2. P2-3: read-only payload-process ↔ bound-session-socket check before any stop; fix the shell test to expect no manager calls.
3. P1-1: Replace records replace_enabled/replace_active in the replaced journal, keeps a Replace resource, restore_replaced_install after rollback; server verdict re-checked right before the stop (also covers P3-1). Tests: Join fails, deadline, browser cancel, revoked mid-way.
4. P2-1: superseded set before awaiting supersede; Check reports *.bootstrap-superseded-* and offers restore; trap HUP/INT/TERM/PIPE; confirmation wait outside the 180 s deadline.
5. P2-2: unit ActiveState + MainPID start vs lease in the record; live install → explicit warning + confirmation.
6. P3-3: Re-enroll server test runs the restore shell.
7. Real env: fixture replay as root on compute01 (Re-enroll success + failure-after-stop restored as found), restore fixture.
   P3-2 left for kayg.

Estimate: ~5 h.

P1-1: Replace records `replace_enabled/replace_active` in the replaced journal, keeps a Replace resource, `restore_replaced_install` after rollback; server verdict re-checked right before the stop (also covers P3-1). Tests: Join fails, deadline, browser cancel, revoked mid-way. 4. P2-1: `superseded` set before awaiting `supersede`; Check reports `*.bootstrap-superseded-*` and offers restore; trap HUP/INT/TERM/PIPE; confirmation wait outside the 180 s deadline. 5. P2-2: unit ActiveState + MainPID start vs lease in the record; live install → explicit warning + confirmation. 6. P3-3: Re-enroll server test runs the restore shell. 7. Real env: fixture replay as root on compute01 (Re-enroll success + failure-after-stop restored as found), restore fixture. P3-2 left for kayg. Estimate: ~5 h.

J93e progress (branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305, pushed head 8a0e5a838 + local fixup d3bd8165c)

Pushed so far, rebased on origin/dev 620851b72:

• 259d5895c test: the shell oracle's mock service manager keeps state (P3-3)
• a4699343c P2-3: helper stage-processes (level 6) refuses a stray payload process before any stop
• 3d15039af P1-1: found service state travels with the replaced journal; restore_replaced_install after any later failure; verdict re-checked right before the stop (also P3-1)
• 382602d84 P2-1: Re-enroll set-aside recorded before its script runs
• a455b9e07 P2-1: HUP/INT/TERM/PIPE traps (dash skips EXIT on signals; /bin/sh on compute01 is /usr/bin/dash)
• dc7273813 P2-1: the confirmation wait no longer counts toward the 180 s deadline (paused for up to 15 min, then the full limit again)
• 275d0c015 P2-1: Check reports INFRATERNAL_SETUP_SET_ASIDE and offers "Put it back"
• 8a0e5a838 P2-2: the upgrade record carries live/idle, and a live Re-enroll warns and relabels the confirm button

Interim tests at dc7273813/275d0c015 on compute01: the shell oracle passes, ssh lib 66 passed, UI copy 18 passed, server stuck* 8/10. The 2 failures were my test's revoked_at=1 breaking a CHECK constraint; that is fixed in fixup d3bd8165c. The full re-run at the new head is in progress (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93e/t3.log). Red/green per commit and the root fixture replay come next. Target dir: ~/worktrees/j93e/target on compute01.

Finding: every infraternal process calls set_dumpable(false), so as a non-root user the payload-process checks (the new one before the stop and the old one after it) only see dumpable processes. Root sees all of them.

J93e done: #305 part 2 round 2 (J153 findings), fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ c4972a5d287fc552298b1cda45b3ac6db8a750af

Base: origin/dev 620851b72 (the part 1 merge). Not merged and not deployed. The real code host and production were not touched.

Commits (new in this round)

Commit	Finding
d31a8ee15	P3-3: the shell oracle's mock manager keeps state (enabled = wants link, active = file). The hand-unlinking in the old test is gone.
ac4c37a94	P2-3: a new helper mode stage-processes (level 6). It matches each payload process's socket:[N] fds against the sock_diag inodes of the bound session sockets, and refuses (73) before any stop. The shell test now expects no mutating manager call.
74aec50be	P1-1 (+ P3-1): found-service (enabled/active) is written into the journal before the stop and moves with it to .bootstrap-replaced-<tx>. restore_replaced_install runs after any later failure. The Replace is recorded as set aside before its script runs, so a dropped attempt still restores. The server verdict is asked again after the confirmation, right before the stop, which also re-reads connected and ca_ready. New server tests run the restore for real (sh, a private HOME, a stateful systemctl) for: Join fails, deadline, browser cancel, revoked before and after the stop, and the Re-enroll whole-install restore (P3-3).
85faf51d6	P2-1: the Re-enroll set-aside is recorded before supersede is awaited.
f58893e26	P2-1: traps for HUP, INT, TERM and PIPE run the same restore (dash skips EXIT on signals; /bin/sh on compute01 is /usr/bin/dash). The signals are ignored while restoring.
4f20bccbe	P2-1: the confirmation wait is out of the 180 s deadline. While the confirmation waits, the deadline moves to 15 min (closing the window still cancels). Once the person confirms, the full limit starts again, and the payload budgets follow the live deadline. The attempt now keeps one authority watcher, so deadline changes no longer drop its authorization query mid-flight; this was found as a test flake.
dd4831cd9	P2-1: Check reports `INFRATERNAL_SETUP_SET_ASIDE <superseded
d7285f0d5	P2-2: the upgrade record ends in live/idle: live means the unit is active and its MainPID started at or after the lease. A live Re-enroll says "running and may be connected to X now; joining here disconnects it from X; remove it there afterwards", and the button reads Disconnect and join here. The mutating steps compare the record without this field. An unreadable identity no longer claims "another server".
084fed36b	test: BREAKIT2_FAIL_JOIN for the live replay
fe4813b0a	test(tracer): captures for the live and set-aside screens, with ±0.5 px alignment checks
01d7c88c2, c4972a5d2	rustfmt, and splitting parse for clippy (no behaviour change)

P3-2 (the set-aside key's lifetime) is not built; it waits for kayg.

Red → green (compute01, ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93e/rg/all.log, rg2.log; product files from the parent, tests from the commit)

Run on the pre-squash SHAs ffeed1508…a32612f68, which are the same changes; the only later edits were clippy, fmt and the watcher fix.

HEAD flake loop: stuck_restore x5 → 10 passed each

Real environment: j93fixture replay on compute01

Before each run, root restored the fixture with restore-fixture.sh (sent with ssh root@… 'cat > /root/j93e-restore-fixture.sh'). The replay ran as claude, breakit2_live_ssh_install_join_and_terminal, at c4972a5d2. Logs: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j93e/r{1,2,3,4}-*.log.

1. Re-enroll end to end: REPLAY_EXIT=0. Verdict Ok(Reenroll) was given twice (at Check, then again right before the stop). The confirmation carried the live warning ("Its infraternal agent is running and may be connected to j93fixture.invalid now…"). Then: set aside → install → facts → "Checking a terminal through the infraternal agent" (terminal canary, real I/O) → Done. Afterwards: the new agent is enabled and running, and the old install sits whole in infraternal.bootstrap-superseded-d831a93a… (.superseded-service, .superseded-unit).
2. Re-enroll failing after the stop (BREAKIT2_FAIL_JOIN): "The earlier infraternal agent was put back as it was found." Before and after: the same journal (d831a93a…, the same entries), UnitFileState=enabled ActiveState=active (new MainPID), the wants link back, no set-aside left. The one open session ended, as the confirmation said it would; a stopped shim cannot come back. The restored agent serves again.
3. Replace failing after the stop (BREAKIT2_REPLACE_STUCK, host seeded at Check, BREAKIT2_FAIL_JOIN): verdict Ok(Replace) ×2, then "put back as it was found". The journal is back, there is no .bootstrap-replaced-*, and the unit is enabled and active.
4. Replace success, not proven: the real Join exited 1 with nothing injected (step=Some(Join) status=Some(1)), and the install was again put back as found. That is a real, uninjected after-stop failure, and it was restored. A successful Replace on this fixture is not shown. The likely cause is the fixture's synthetic identity (cut for another CA, key regenerated by the restore script); not investigated further.

The fixture was restored at the end: stuck journal, agent enabled and running, first-shell shim back.

Static size against Part 2 round 1 (15b95d5a7): x86_64 +25,056 B (22,580,880 → 22,605,936), aarch64 +22,512 B.
An earlier gate on dev-02, at a head that predates the fmt/clippy fixes, failed once in agent_daemon::real_binary_keeps_background_backend_probe_off_the_control_path (the lazy-manager oracle's accept() timed out). That test is outside this diff, and it passed in this gate.

Screenshots (test double in a production tracer build, 2×, ink; attached; not judged final)

reenroll-live-{desktop,phone}, set-aside-{desktop,phone}. All 10 capture tests pass, including the ±0.5 px alignment checks.

For kayg

1. P2-2: a live install gets a clear warning and a relabelled confirmation ("Disconnect and join here"); it is not refused. Should taking over a live install from another server be allowed at all?
2. P3-2: the lifetime of the set-aside key and copy is still open (orchestrator's recommendation: delete after 7 days).
3. Put it back ends the attempt with a message, and re-adding the host offers Replace or Re-enroll again. There is no separate "continue as a new host" button.
4. Non-dumpable processes: every infraternal process calls set_dumpable(false), so in rootless mode neither the new pre-stop payload check nor the old post-stop one can see real shims or agents. Only dumpable processes (or everything, as root) are visible.

J160 independent review of fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ c4972a5d2 (round 3 on part 2, commits d31a8ee15..c4972a5d2 since J153's 15b95d5a7): REQUEST CHANGES

Scope: I checked that the rebase is clean (git range-diff: J153's 26 commits are =, so 30ee802ce is 15b95d5a7 on the new base). Then I read the 13 new commits: previous_attempt.sh/.rs, bootstrap.rs, setup_guard.sh, install.rs (commit and RETIRE_REPLACED), setup_scripts.rs (ACTIVATE/START), bootstrap_stuck_restore_tests.rs, the shell oracle and the tracer copy. I also read CLAUDE.md, D13, D166, D168, D335, J153's review (77181) and J93e's reports (77182, 77202, 77294).

There is no P1. Every J153 finding is fixed or narrowed. Three P2s remain. Two of them narrow J153's own findings: the restore race is J153 P2-1, and the liveness false negative is J153 P2-2. One is a new class introduced by the new "Put it back" offer. Each fix is small and local. Nothing here calls for a redesign or a plan stop.

Status of J153's findings

J153	Status
P1-1 Replace never restored	Fixed. found-service travels with the journal, the set-aside is recorded before the script runs (bootstrap.rs:1321), restore_replaced_install runs after any later failure, and the verdict is asked again before the stop.
P2-1 set-aside unrecorded / dash traps / deadline / invisible to Check	Fixed except one race (P2-1 below). The record comes first, the HUP/INT/TERM/PIPE traps are correct (EXIT is cleared before the restore, and signals are ignored during it), the wait is out of the 180 s limit, and Check reports SET_ASIDE.
P2-2 Re-enroll on a live host	Narrowed. The warning exists, but its test misses the commonest live case (P2-2 below).
P2-3 payload scan after the stop	Fixed. stage-processes refuses before any stop. The non-dumpable limit in rootless mode (77202) is a known gap, not a regression.
P3-1 verdict not re-checked	Fixed for the server verdict. Host liveness is not re-checked (folded into P2-2).
P3-2 key lifetime	Open, kayg's call.
P3-3 tests	Fixed for stateful mocks and the real restore program. The set-aside itself is still modelled as atomic (P3-3 below).

P2

P2-1: Cancelling right after the confirmation still leaves the old infraternal agent stopped and disabled. The restore loses the setup guard to the set-aside script, which is still running. (Narrowing of J153 P2-1.)

• Where:
  • bootstrap.rs:829-833: the cancel, socket close or revocation drops running, and kill_on_drop kills the local ssh mux client.
  • bootstrap.rs:891-897: the restore runs right away, once, with a 30 s cap.
  • setup_guard.sh:29: restore_*_install takes the guard with flock -n and exits 73 if it is held.
  • previous_attempt.sh:692, :729: the restore functions.
• Measured on compute01 with an ssh -T -S <mux> command like the product's (dash /bin/sh): I killed the local client 1 s into a 4 s guarded script, then immediately ran a second guarded command. The second command exited 73. The remote script got neither HUP nor PIPE and ran to set-aside-completed. sshd sends no signal to a non-pty command when its channel closes, and the set-aside writes nothing to stdout. So the new traps do not help here.
• Scenario: the person taps "Disconnect and join here" or "Replace the stuck install", then closes the sheet or locks the phone. Both close the socket while nothing is published, which cancels the attempt (bootstrap.rs:831-833). This happens within the 2–10 s the stop takes:
  1. The Rust restore exits 73, and the attempt reports "…was not put back. Add the host again…" in a window the person has already closed.
  2. The host script then finishes: the agent is stopped and disabled, every session is gone, and with Re-enroll the whole install has moved away.
  3. The host stays offline until someone re-adds it.
  • Rarer: if the restore wins the guard before the script takes it, it prints untouched (:697/:735), Rust emits nothing (Ok(Ok(false))), and the set-aside then completes with no message at all.
  • The same happens when the 30 s restore cap fires: the restore finishes on the host, but the message says it did not.
• Fix:
  • Have the restore wait for the guard, for example flock -w 25 9, inside the 30 s cap. It then always runs after an in-flight set-aside and finds what it moved.
  • In the untouched branches, also re-enable and start from $base/.bootstrap-lock/found-service when that file exists. This covers a script killed between the stop and the move.
  • Test: run the real supersede_stuck_install/replace_stuck_install program against the private HOME, with a systemctl stop mock that sleeps, and drop the batch during the stop. The restore must end "as found". This fails on this head.

P2-2: The liveness test misses a stuck upgrade that never reached ACTIVATE, where the old agent is still running and connected. Re-enroll then disconnects a working host with the "idle" wording. (Narrowing of J153 P2-2.)

• Where:
  • previous_attempt.sh:312-318: "live" requires MainPID to have started at or after the lease mtime.
  • inspect_previous routes every kind=upgrade journal to inspect_upgrade, whatever its stage.
  • setup_scripts.rs:49-57: the old service is stopped only inside ACTIVATE.
• Scenario: server X pushes an upgrade, and the SSH session drops during the payload upload or before ACTIVATE. This is the commonest stuck shape. The journal has transaction, kind=upgrade, a lease and a payload, and no stopping. The old agent was never stopped: it is running, connected to X and serving sessions. Its MainPID started days before the lease, so the record says idle.
  • An administrator of this server adds the machine. The confirmation says "An earlier install stopped while replacing this infraternal agent… It joins this server as a new host", and the button is not "Disconnect and join here".
  • Confirming disconnects a healthy host from X and ends its sessions without the warning. The stop-refused state (ACTIVATE's stop refused, old agent still running) is the same.
  • The script compares the record without liveness (:614), so an agent that turns live during the 15 min wait is never re-shown either.
• Fix:
  • live = the unit is active, whatever its start time. Use the start-after-lease test only to choose between "the upgrade finished but did not commit" and "the old agent is still running".
  • Re-ask (exit 75) when the record went from idle to live since Check: compare the full record when the expected one ends in idle.
  • Add a shell test with a journal before ACTIVATE and an active unit whose MainPID started before the lease. It must report live.

P2-3: "Put it back" can be offered on a healthy host, and it plants a stale stuck journal into the working install. (New class: the Put it back offer.)

• Where:
  • previous_attempt.sh:749-757: finish_stuck_upgrade commits (rm -rf "$stage") but does not run RETIRE_REPLACED. Only install.rs:1081/:1127 do.
  • report_set_aside (:389-404) reports a .bootstrap-replaced-* whenever $base is a directory without a lock, and takes the host from $base/.bootstrap-owner.
  • bootstrap.rs:1229-1250: Put it back is offered before any server check.
  • restore_replaced_install (:692) only needs .bootstrap-lock to be absent.
• Scenario:
  1. A Replace moves journal tx1 to infraternal.bootstrap-replaced-tx1.
  2. The new upgrade tx2 reaches START, so the agent is connected, and then the session drops before commit.
  3. The next add-host sees UPGRADE tx2 and the server says connected, so it runs Finish. Finish removes tx2's journal and keeps bootstrap-replaced-tx1.
  4. The host is now healthy. Any later add-host of it is offered "An earlier add-host set this infraternal agent aside and did not put it back" instead of "already added".
  5. Confirming moves tx1's stale journal into $base/.bootstrap-lock of the live install, with activating and previous-binary from before tx1.
  6. The healthy host is stuck again. Every later setup on it sees tx1 until a Finish or Replace clears it, and if the agent is not connected at that moment, Replace stops it.
• Fix:
  • Add {RETIRE_REPLACED} to finish_stuck_upgrade, which is a commit.
  • In report_set_aside and restore_replaced_install, ignore or refuse a replaced journal while the unit is active, because something newer is serving.
  • Shell test: Replace, then a new journal, then Finish. Check must then report CLEAR.

P3

P3-1: A retried Replace or Re-enroll records the state it caused, not the state first found.

• previous_attempt.sh:640 re-measures and overwrites found-service (>|). .superseded-service is taken from the same re-measure.
• After a set-aside killed between the stop and the move (SIGKILL or power loss: the case the new found-service validator (:178-182) exists for), the next attempt records no no. If it then fails, it "puts back as found" a disabled agent. A Replace of a newer journal tx2 next to a pending replaced-tx1 does the same.
• Fix: keep an existing found-service, and carry it over from a pending .bootstrap-replaced-*.

P3-2: The 15 min confirmation wait holds one of the 8 add-host slots shared by the whole server.

• bootstrap.rs:798-803 takes a permit from CONCURRENT_HOSTS = 8, and that permit is global (manifest.rs:8). It is held through the CONFIRMATION_WAIT (:2047, :1934).
• One batch of 8 stuck hosts left on the confirmation (on a desktop, where the socket stays open) blocks every add-host on the server for 15 min. Queued one-use credentials expire meanwhile ("Queued SSH credentials expired").
• An attempt cannot be extended indefinitely: each attempt confirms at most once, the PutBack branch always ends the attempt, and revocation and window close still cancel. The total is bounded at about check time + 15 min + 180 s.
• Fix: release the permit while waiting and re-acquire it after the confirmation, or cap pending confirmations separately.

P3-3: The server test models the set-aside as atomic and already finished. bootstrap_stuck_restore_tests.rs:175-183 runs a Rust home.supersede()/replace() and then hangs, so the guard is never held while the restore runs. That is why P2-1 passes. See the fix there.

Specific questions

• Every exit path after the stop:
  • Script failure, or a signal under dash: restored by the trap, which I checked by reading the trap code.
  • Later Rust failure, deadline or revocation: restored once the host script has ended.
  • A cancel or socket close while the script is still running: not restored (P2-1).
  • SSH session dropped for good: the host script finishes the set-aside, and the next Check offers Put it back. That residual is by design, and the person must act.
  • Deadline during the restore: the restore is outside the attempt deadline. Its 30 s cap can only mislabel a restore that still completes (P2-1).
• 15 min window: no way to extend an attempt indefinitely. Resource hold is P3-2.
• "Put it back" and a revoked or foreign identity: no harmful path found.
  • It needs the SSH account that owns the files, so it does nothing that uid could not do by hand (-O checks, guarded mv -T).
  • A revoked identity cannot reconnect: the certificate is refused and peers have dropped the key (D166).
  • Restoring server X's install gives X back the machine it had, which is what the person chose.
  • The real harm is P2-3: a healthy host gets a stale journal.
• Live detection: false negatives exist (P2-2).

Fixture replay

Not run. The open findings are a timing race (P2-1, proven with the SSH experiment above, which needs no fixture), journal shapes the j93fixture does not have (P2-2: before ACTIVATE; P2-3: Replace then Finish), and code-level gaps. J93e's four replays already cover the restore success paths. The fixture, the real code host and production were not touched. The only thing run was the throwaway guard/ssh experiment under ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j160/ on compute01, as claude.

No code changed, so the gate does not apply.

## J160 independent review of `fix-stale-bootstrap-305` @ `c4972a5d2` (round 3 on part 2, commits `d31a8ee15..c4972a5d2` since J153's `15b95d5a7`): **REQUEST CHANGES** Scope: I checked that the rebase is clean (`git range-diff`: J153's 26 commits are `=`, so `30ee802ce` is `15b95d5a7` on the new base). Then I read the 13 new commits: `previous_attempt.sh`/`.rs`, `bootstrap.rs`, `setup_guard.sh`, `install.rs` (commit and `RETIRE_REPLACED`), `setup_scripts.rs` (ACTIVATE/START), `bootstrap_stuck_restore_tests.rs`, the shell oracle and the tracer copy. I also read CLAUDE.md, D13, D166, D168, D335, J153's review (77181) and J93e's reports (77182, 77202, 77294). There is **no P1**. Every J153 finding is fixed or narrowed. Three P2s remain. Two of them narrow J153's own findings: the restore race is J153 P2-1, and the liveness false negative is J153 P2-2. One is a new class introduced by the new "Put it back" offer. Each fix is small and local. Nothing here calls for a redesign or a plan stop. ### Status of J153's findings | J153 | Status | |---|---| | P1-1 Replace never restored | **Fixed.** `found-service` travels with the journal, the set-aside is recorded before the script runs (`bootstrap.rs:1321`), `restore_replaced_install` runs after any later failure, and the verdict is asked again before the stop. | | P2-1 set-aside unrecorded / dash traps / deadline / invisible to Check | **Fixed except one race** (P2-1 below). The record comes first, the HUP/INT/TERM/PIPE traps are correct (EXIT is cleared before the restore, and signals are ignored during it), the wait is out of the 180 s limit, and Check reports `SET_ASIDE`. | | P2-2 Re-enroll on a live host | **Narrowed.** The warning exists, but its test misses the commonest live case (P2-2 below). | | P2-3 payload scan after the stop | **Fixed.** `stage-processes` refuses before any stop. The non-dumpable limit in rootless mode (77202) is a known gap, not a regression. | | P3-1 verdict not re-checked | **Fixed** for the server verdict. Host liveness is not re-checked (folded into P2-2). | | P3-2 key lifetime | Open, kayg's call. | | P3-3 tests | **Fixed** for stateful mocks and the real restore program. The set-aside itself is still modelled as atomic (P3-3 below). | ### P2 **P2-1: Cancelling right after the confirmation still leaves the old infraternal agent stopped and disabled. The restore loses the setup guard to the set-aside script, which is still running.** (Narrowing of J153 P2-1.) - Where: - `bootstrap.rs:829-833`: the cancel, socket close or revocation drops `running`, and `kill_on_drop` kills the local ssh mux client. - `bootstrap.rs:891-897`: the restore runs right away, once, with a 30 s cap. - `setup_guard.sh:29`: `restore_*_install` takes the guard with `flock -n` and exits 73 if it is held. - `previous_attempt.sh:692`, `:729`: the restore functions. - Measured on compute01 with an `ssh -T -S <mux>` command like the product's (dash `/bin/sh`): I killed the local client 1 s into a 4 s guarded script, then immediately ran a second guarded command. **The second command exited 73. The remote script got neither HUP nor PIPE and ran to `set-aside-completed`.** sshd sends no signal to a non-pty command when its channel closes, and the set-aside writes nothing to stdout. So the new traps do not help here. - Scenario: the person taps "Disconnect and join here" or "Replace the stuck install", then closes the sheet or locks the phone. Both close the socket while nothing is published, which cancels the attempt (`bootstrap.rs:831-833`). This happens within the 2–10 s the stop takes: 1. The Rust restore exits 73, and the attempt reports "…was not put back. Add the host again…" in a window the person has already closed. 2. The host script then finishes: the agent is stopped and disabled, every session is gone, and with Re-enroll the whole install has moved away. 3. The host stays offline until someone re-adds it. - Rarer: if the restore wins the guard before the script takes it, it prints `untouched` (`:697`/`:735`), Rust emits nothing (`Ok(Ok(false))`), and the set-aside then completes with no message at all. - The same happens when the 30 s restore cap fires: the restore finishes on the host, but the message says it did not. - Fix: - Have the restore wait for the guard, for example `flock -w 25 9`, inside the 30 s cap. It then always runs after an in-flight set-aside and finds what it moved. - In the `untouched` branches, also re-enable and start from `$base/.bootstrap-lock/found-service` when that file exists. This covers a script killed between the stop and the move. - Test: run the real `supersede_stuck_install`/`replace_stuck_install` program against the private HOME, with a `systemctl stop` mock that sleeps, and drop the batch during the stop. The restore must end "as found". This fails on this head. **P2-2: The liveness test misses a stuck upgrade that never reached ACTIVATE, where the old agent is still running and connected. Re-enroll then disconnects a working host with the "idle" wording.** (Narrowing of J153 P2-2.) - Where: - `previous_attempt.sh:312-318`: "live" requires MainPID to have started at or after the lease mtime. - `inspect_previous` routes every `kind=upgrade` journal to `inspect_upgrade`, whatever its stage. - `setup_scripts.rs:49-57`: the old service is stopped only inside ACTIVATE. - Scenario: server X pushes an upgrade, and the SSH session drops during the payload upload or before ACTIVATE. This is the commonest stuck shape. The journal has `transaction`, `kind=upgrade`, a lease and a payload, and no `stopping`. The old agent was never stopped: it is running, connected to X and serving sessions. Its MainPID started days before the lease, so the record says `idle`. - An administrator of this server adds the machine. The confirmation says "An earlier install stopped while replacing this infraternal agent… It joins this server as a new host", and the button is not "Disconnect and join here". - Confirming disconnects a healthy host from X and ends its sessions without the warning. The `stop-refused` state (ACTIVATE's stop refused, old agent still running) is the same. - The script compares the record without liveness (`:614`), so an agent that turns live during the 15 min wait is never re-shown either. - Fix: - `live` = the unit is active, whatever its start time. Use the start-after-lease test only to choose between "the upgrade finished but did not commit" and "the old agent is still running". - Re-ask (exit 75) when the record went from idle to live since Check: compare the full record when the expected one ends in `idle`. - Add a shell test with a journal before ACTIVATE and an active unit whose MainPID started before the lease. It must report `live`. **P2-3: "Put it back" can be offered on a healthy host, and it plants a stale stuck journal into the working install.** (New class: the Put it back offer.) - Where: - `previous_attempt.sh:749-757`: `finish_stuck_upgrade` commits (`rm -rf "$stage"`) but does not run `RETIRE_REPLACED`. Only `install.rs:1081`/`:1127` do. - `report_set_aside` (`:389-404`) reports a `.bootstrap-replaced-*` whenever `$base` is a directory without a lock, and takes the host from `$base/.bootstrap-owner`. - `bootstrap.rs:1229-1250`: Put it back is offered before any server check. - `restore_replaced_install` (`:692`) only needs `.bootstrap-lock` to be absent. - Scenario: 1. A Replace moves journal tx1 to `infraternal.bootstrap-replaced-tx1`. 2. The new upgrade tx2 reaches START, so the agent is connected, and then the session drops before commit. 3. The next add-host sees UPGRADE tx2 and the server says connected, so it runs Finish. Finish removes tx2's journal and **keeps `bootstrap-replaced-tx1`**. 4. The host is now healthy. Any later add-host of it is offered "An earlier add-host set this infraternal agent aside and did not put it back" instead of "already added". 5. Confirming moves tx1's stale journal into `$base/.bootstrap-lock` of the live install, with `activating` and `previous-binary` from before tx1. 6. The healthy host is stuck again. Every later setup on it sees tx1 until a Finish or Replace clears it, and if the agent is not connected at that moment, Replace stops it. - Fix: - Add `{RETIRE_REPLACED}` to `finish_stuck_upgrade`, which is a commit. - In `report_set_aside` and `restore_replaced_install`, ignore or refuse a replaced journal while the unit is active, because something newer is serving. - Shell test: Replace, then a new journal, then Finish. Check must then report CLEAR. ### P3 **P3-1: A retried Replace or Re-enroll records the state it caused, not the state first found.** - `previous_attempt.sh:640` re-measures and overwrites `found-service` (`>|`). `.superseded-service` is taken from the same re-measure. - After a set-aside killed between the stop and the move (SIGKILL or power loss: the case the new `found-service` validator (`:178-182`) exists for), the next attempt records `no no`. If it then fails, it "puts back as found" a disabled agent. A Replace of a newer journal tx2 next to a pending `replaced-tx1` does the same. - Fix: keep an existing `found-service`, and carry it over from a pending `.bootstrap-replaced-*`. **P3-2: The 15 min confirmation wait holds one of the 8 add-host slots shared by the whole server.** - `bootstrap.rs:798-803` takes a permit from `CONCURRENT_HOSTS = 8`, and that permit is global (`manifest.rs:8`). It is held through the `CONFIRMATION_WAIT` (`:2047`, `:1934`). - One batch of 8 stuck hosts left on the confirmation (on a desktop, where the socket stays open) blocks every add-host on the server for 15 min.

The total is bounded at about check time + 15 min + 180 s. - Fix: release the permit while waiting and re-acquire it after the confirmation, or cap pending confirmations separately. **P3-3: The server test models the set-aside as atomic and already finished.** `bootstrap_stuck_restore_tests.rs:175-183` runs a Rust `home.supersede()`/`replace()` and then hangs, so the guard is never held while the restore runs. That is why P2-1 passes. See the fix there. ### Specific questions - **Every exit path after the stop:** - Script failure, or a signal under dash: restored by the trap, which I checked by reading the trap code. - Later Rust failure, deadline or revocation: restored once the host script has ended. - A cancel or socket close while the script is still running: **not restored** (P2-1). - SSH session dropped for good: the host script finishes the set-aside, and the next Check offers Put it back.

The open findings are a timing race (P2-1, proven with the SSH experiment above, which needs no fixture), journal shapes the j93fixture does not have (P2-2: before ACTIVATE; P2-3: Replace then Finish), and code-level gaps. J93e's four replays already cover the restore success paths. The fixture, the real `code` host and production were not touched. The only thing run was the throwaway guard/ssh experiment under `~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j160/` on compute01, as claude. No code changed, so the gate does not apply.

J93f start: #305 part 2 round 3 (J160's findings, 77297)

Branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305 (local worktree branch j93f-305), rebased onto origin/dev 91112e9da; rebased head b95ec27f9 (was c4972a5d2).
Rebase note: dev now has infraternal_shim::signal_process_descriptor (pidfd send). The branch's duplicate signal_process_exit_descriptor is dropped and runtime_lock.rs calls dev's helper. No behaviour change.

Plan (about 4 h), one commit per finding, each with a test that fails first:

1. P2-1: restores wait for the guard (flock -w 25, inside the 30 s cap); the "untouched" branches re-enable and start from found-service. Test runs the real set-aside script with a slow systemctl stop and drops the attempt during the stop.
2. P3-3: the server test stops modelling the set-aside as instant (same harness as 1).
3. P2-2: live = unit active; the confirmation wait re-asks when the record goes idle to live.
4. P2-3: Finish runs RETIRE_REPLACED; a replaced journal is ignored while the unit is active. Shell test.
5. P3-1: keep an existing found-service; carry it over from a pending replaced journal.
6. P3-2 (J160): release the add-host slot during the confirmation wait, or a separate cap; decided in the commit.
7. Fixture replay as root on compute01 (re-enroll end to end with terminal I/O; cancel right after confirming), fixture restored after. Then scripts/verify fast.

J153's P3-2 (set-aside key lifetime) stays with kayg.

J93f progress: six commits pushed, red→green running

fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ b8d42b877 (rebased on origin/dev 91112e9da):

Commit	Finding
b53a16c06	P2-1: restores wait up to 25 s for the guard; the "untouched" branches start and enable from found-service; Rust restore cap 30 → 45 s
8382a00f3	P3-3: the server test runs the real set-aside program (only its read-only proofs stubbed), never killed on drop, with a 2 s stop; two cancel-mid-stop tests
5bc13a4d2	P2-2: live = unit active; idle→live at the set-aside exits 75 with "This host changed while it waited for your confirmation…"
e5a25c0df	P2-3: one retire_replaced shell function (setup_lock.sh) for commit and Finish; a replaced journal beside an active unit is not reported, and its restore refuses (72)

J93f real environment: j93fixture replay on compute01 @ e06e7cb05

Root restored the fixture with J93c's restore-fixture.sh, uploaded as ssh root@infraternal-dev-01-compute01 'cat > /root/j93f-restore-fixture.sh' < f (3514 bytes on both sides, sha256 f9e5d0b3…a03d matches). It ran before each replay and once at the end. The replays ran as claude (breakit2_live_ssh_install_join_and_terminal, BREAKIT2_REENROLL_STUCK=1). Logs: ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j93f/r1-reenroll.log, r2-cancel.log. The real code host and production were not touched.

Setup note: the live replay needs a prepared scratch with an ssh wrapper, config and known_hosts. The J93 jobs had one in /tmp/j93. Without it, key_sign_in fails in 1 ms with "Connecting to the host failed". I copied it to /tmp/j93f with the paths rewritten.

1. Re-enroll end to end: REPLAY_EXIT=0

• The confirmation now carries the live warning on this fixture. Its agent was started by the restore script, before the lease (P2-2: in round 2 this read idle): "…This machine is enrolled with another server, j93fixture.invalid. Its infraternal agent is running and may be connected to j93fixture.invalid now. Joining it here disconnects it from j93fixture.invalid; remove it there afterwards. … 1 open terminal session will end."
• Then: leftovers set aside (1.16 s after the confirmation) → install → facts → "Checking a terminal through the infraternal agent" (readiness ok=true, 101 ms: the canary writes input into a real PTY and confirms its marker in the output) → Done ("The infraternal agent is ready.").
• Afterwards (root): new agent enabled/active (MainPID 3291768 from the new bin/current), and the old install whole in infraternal.bootstrap-superseded-d831a93a… (bin .bootstrap-lock .bootstrap-owner sessions state .superseded-service .superseded-unit, service yes yes).

2. Cancel right after confirming: service ends enabled and active

BREAKIT2_CANCEL_AFTER_CONFIRM_MS=500 (new knob, e06e7cb05) confirms, waits 500 ms, then drops the batch, as closing the sheet does. REPLAY_EXIT=0. Host user manager journal (root, UTC):

The drop landed while the set-aside held the setup guard. Round 2's flock -n restore would have exited 73 here and left the agent stopped.

J93f plan for D337 (owner's three #305 rules), about 6 h

Base: fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ 727f4b784 (the round-3 commits; their verify fast is running on compute01 now as a checkpoint).

1. Takeover rule (one commit, test first). Re-enroll from another server is refused by name when the old infraternal agent is running AND has open terminals. Otherwise it is allowed: unit not active (not working), or no terminals. No confirmation is offered for a refused install; the set-aside also refuses on the host (defense in depth).
   • Finding, needs kayg later: the host cannot tell whether an old agent is connected to its server. agent status is "not available yet", the server link is QUIC on an unconnected UDP socket, and old agents publish nothing. So "running" stands in for "connected", and the wording says what is known: "Its infraternal agent is running with N open terminals and may still be connected to . Prove you own to take it over; that isn't available yet." One effect: a machine whose old server is gone but whose agent still runs with a terminal (the code field shape) is refused until that agent is stopped. A real connected signal needs an agent status first.
   • Re-enroll never inherits terminals. Where it is allowed and terminals exist (agent not running), they end, as now.
2. No set-aside copy kept (one commit). Every commit deletes infraternal.bootstrap-superseded-* (old install, old key, old unit) as well as bootstrap-replaced-*, through one retire_set_aside. Check deletes a leftover beside a committed install (under the setup guard). Until commit, nothing changes (rollback and Put it back still use it). Copy "set aside, not deleted" changes to "removed once it has joined". This closes J153 P3-2 (set-aside key lifetime): none.
3. Replace inherits terminals (one commit). The Replace stops only the old agent's main process (KillMode=process keeps shims, as an upgrade does) and no longer runs sessions-stop; the holder checks after the stop allow the unit's and the journal's own shims. The new agent adopts them from $base/sessions. Copy: "N open terminals will carry over".
4. Fixture replay: a Replace where the fixture's open terminal survives (shim PID unchanged, attached and echoing through the new agent). Risk: J93e's Replace replay failed at the real Join (exit 1, tail=[]) on this fixture; I'll diagnose that first and report if it is the fixture's synthetic identity.
5. Tracer copy and captures for the refusal and carry-over screens (production build, 2x, attached; not judged final), verify fast green on compute01.

J93f D337 progress: commits pushed, replays in the compute01 queue

fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ 8a2a89010:

Commit	D337 rule
1e31c26f6	1, takeover: another server's install running with open terminals is refused by name, before any offer or stop; setup_lock.in_use; the set-aside refuses it too (75)
ab1c2a3d1	2, no copy kept: retire_set_aside at every commit deletes replaced journals and superseded installs (old key, unit); Check deletes a leftover beside a committed install
5a76db61a	3, inherit: a Replace stops only the agent (KillMode=process keeps the shims) and skips sessions-stop; "N open terminal sessions will carry over"
49771ba8c	test: replay phase BREAKIT2_REPLACE_AFTER_JOIN (Replace on an install this same server enrolled, then attach to the old shim and echo)
8a2a89010	test(tracer): inuse* double and capture

Checks at the head before the last fixups (compute01): shell oracle ok, ssh lib 66 passed, server stuck_restore 14 passed, tracer copy 56 pass.

Finding, why J93e's Replace replay failed at Join: the fixture identity names j93fixture.invalid and its CA, and agent join re-enrolls an existing key only for the server that issued it (enrolled_key in crates/infraternal/src/remote.rs). A Replace on the fixture as found therefore fails, correctly. The new replay phase builds a real this-server install first (Re-enroll), then makes it stuck and Replaces it.

First real-host result (A1, fixture as found: agent running, 1 open terminal): verdict Reenroll → refused with no offer, nothing stopped. Re-running at 8a2a89010 to record the public message.

J93f findings from the D337 Replace replay (compute01), with fixes

Head 6a937cb01. The Replace phase (Re-enroll the fixture, then make that this-server install stuck, then Replace it) failed its Check three times with 71, "ownership is not proven". The first was my replay script's fault; two are real validator bugs against current dev:

1. sessions/proxy-secrets (real, fixed in 30916f04f). A current agent keeps the proxy plugin's owner-only credential store in its runtime directory (#281, crates/plugins/proxy/src/custody.rs). validate_upgrade_sessions allowed only the lifetime lock, the control socket, sessions/ and *.sock, so every stuck upgrade on a host that ran that agent was refused. It is now checked as a private tree (this user's, 0700/0600). Shell test: red on the parent.
2. <id>.stop shim cleanup endpoint (real, fixed in 6a937cb01). Current shims bind it beside <id>.sock (crates/infraternal-shim/src/cleanup.rs). Both upgrade validators knew only .sock/.ending. Now accepted (owned, 0600, hex id) and not counted as a terminal. Shell test: red on the parent.
3. bin/live with two links (replay script, not product). A fresh install's bin/live is hard-linked with infraternal.bootstrap-cache/payload, and validate_upgrade_root requires one link. A real upgrade restages the cache, so my script now does the same. Open risk, not changed: an upgrade that gets stuck before it restages the cache would be refused the same way on every Check.
4. Not changed, reported: the fresh-journal path in inspect_previous has the same .sock-only loop and would refuse a current shim's .stop endpoint there too. It also deletes the endpoints it counts, so the fix is more than a name check.

Check on the crafted install with the fixed scripts (run over SSH as the fixture user): INFRATERNAL_SETUP_UPGRADE 62ca3170… 63c9232b… 2049:3319384 infraternal-dev-01-compute01 99999999 1 2026-11-04T06:29:36Z 1 44707da0… localhost idle.

Also from earlier replays at this round: after the Re-enroll commit the host had SUPERSEDED left=0 (rule 2 on a real host).

Next, in one compute01 slot (queued): workspace clippy, the Replace replay at head, red→green for 6a937cb01, tracer captures, agent_daemon three times alone, then verify fast.

J93f blocked: compute01 disk under the build-slot floor

Since about 09:00 UTC, compute01 has had 17–19 GB free against the 25 GB floor, so build-slot admits nothing (J93f's final job is first in the queue). I deleted my own incremental cache (18 GB); other jobs used that up within minutes. Largest targets right now: j132b 78 GB (worktree), j61c 64 GB, j94e 62 GB (j94f is also running, so j94e may be stale), j79e 54 GB, j147 51 GB, j168 44 GB, j80e 42 GB, j93f 38 GB. Orchestrator: please free space or tell me which target to drop.

Branch state is pushed: fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ c71e3686e. Since the findings comment: clippy fixes, the replay waits until the server stops counting the stopped agent as connected (the previous run got Finish, "already added", 5 s after the stop), and the tracer client now parses setup_lock.in_use (the in-use capture caught it being dropped). Queued in one slot job: workspace clippy, the Replace replay, captures, agent_daemon three times at head and three times on origin/dev (one of three alone-runs at the old head failed), then verify fast.

B, rules 2 and 3, b-replace.log → REPLAY_EXIT=0. Root stopped the old agent first ("not working"), then:

1. Re-enroll allowed: "…its old infraternal agent and key are deleted once it has joined. 1 open terminal session will end." → Done, authority_commit ok=true. Then on the host: SUPERSEDED left=0, so the old install and key were deleted at commit (rule 2).
2. The stuck-after-join.sh script (as the fixture user) left this server's new install stuck mid-upgrade: agent stopped, journal in place, shim d3a2c542… running as PID 3953811 (started 11:29:55).
3. The server saw the agent offline after 250 ms, and the verdict was Replace. Confirmation: "Replace the stuck install to continue. 1 open terminal session will carry over.", findings ["An interrupted upgrade journal", "The enrolled host identity is kept", "1 open terminal session will carry over"].
4. Replace → install → facts → terminal check → Done, authority_commit ok=true.
5. SURVIVOR breakit2 attached=true echoed=true: the old session was attached through the new infraternal agent and ran echo carried-$((6*7)) (output carried-42).
6. Host afterwards (root): unit enabled/active with a new agent, PID 3954357 (started 11:30:00), and the shim 3953811 still running (rule 3). $base holds only bin .bootstrap-owner sessions state: no journal, no bootstrap-replaced-*, no bootstrap-superseded-* (rule 2).

Bugs the replay found, each fixed in its own commit (all pushed):

• 8f280751b/48889143b ssh: sessions/proxy-secrets refused (71). Shell test red→green.
• c71e3686e ssh: shim <id>.stop endpoint refused (71). Shell test red→green.
• ec835ed28 server: the stuck verdict used hosts.installed as "connected". A dead agent got Finish ("already added") and was left stopped. It now uses hosts.online, Console's own signal. Red: Finish 5 s after the stop, installed still true at 120 s; green: Replace after 250 ms.
• 7f2b24977 server: a Replace could never complete, because completion required a retirement intent that a Replace deliberately never records. Red: host committed, then authority_commit ok=false, reported "readiness unavailable"; green: authority_commit ok=true, Done.
• tracer (folded into rule 1): the client dropped setup_lock.in_use; the capture caught it. Parse test added.

Tracer captures (addhost-start-fresh-captures.spec.ts, production build, 2x ink): 12/12 pass, including the new reenroll-in-use-{desktop,phone} with ±0.5 px left edges and no action button. Not judged final.

Gate status: verify fast at 7f2b24977 is green on every row except test. Its only failures are two infraternal-agent::remote_client wall-clock tests (unavailable_udp_does_not_add_seconds_before_tcp_admission: fallback_local_admission_us=2001324, and server_path_capability_is_advertised_on_native_and_fallback_transports), in a crate this branch does not change. Earlier gates failed different agent_daemon timing tests in the same way; agent_daemon passed 3/3 at head and 3/3 on origin/dev 11d1f2fbb when run alone. A retry is queued (compute01 is under the disk floor again): remote_client three times at head and three times on origin/dev, then verify fast.

J93f gate status @ 7f2b24977 (compute01)

Second verify fast at this head: every row PASS except test, whose only failure was this time infraternal-plugin-proxy --test process::traefik_child_receives_only_credential_file_paths_and_redacts_its_logs (provider file path: it reads the child's capture file as soon as it exists, which can be before the child has written it). The previous run's only failures were two infraternal-agent::remote_client wall-clock tests. The branch changes nothing in crates/plugins/proxy or crates/infraternal-agent (git diff <merge-base>..HEAD there: 0 lines). Each loaded gate has failed a different timing test from outside this branch:

J93f: compute01 disk hit 0 bytes free (~15:55 UTC)

The gate at 33e8c51ba failed static builds with "failed to write bytecode … No space" (df: 591G size, 567G used, 0 available). I deleted my own incremental caches, static-build outputs and the replay binary (about 21 GB), which brought it to 21 GB free, still under the 25 GB build-slot floor. Orchestrator: compute01 needs space freed. Every job's builds fail or wait while it is full.

That gate otherwise: every row PASS except test (the same three infraternal-agent::remote_client timing tests) and static builds (the disk). My rule-3 shell test had failed the previous gate with AF_UNIX path too long (it connected by absolute path under the gate's longer scratch root); it is fixed (folded into the rule-3 commit, now 814c7b862) and passed here.

On remote_client: these three tests fail in the same way in at least nine other jobs' compute01 verify fast logs (j61b, j61c, j62b, j79e, j80e, j103, j103d, j132, …), and they pass alone with --features remote at this head (3/3, 56 passed) and on origin/dev e8dc5a3c9 (3/3). Next, queued: the same tests under the gate's own feature set (cargo test --workspace --lib -- remote_client::tests) at head and on origin/dev, then the gate again.

b53a16c06	ssh: put a set-aside back after a cancel that lands during the stop (#305)

(The rebase also dropped the branch's duplicate pidfd helper in favour of dev's signal_process_descriptor.)

Red → green (compute01; product files from the parent, tests from the commit)

• J160 round: P2-1 shell 4 FAIL → ok; P3-3 server 2 FAIL (on pre-P2-1 product) → 12 passed; P2-2 shell 4 FAIL → ok; P2-3 shell 2 FAIL → ok; P3-1 shell 2 FAIL → ok; P3-2 server 1 FAIL (9th host never offered) → 13 passed. rg.log.
• D337: rule 1 shell 1 FAIL + server refusal panics + tracer 1 fail → green; rule 2 shell 4 FAIL + tracer 1 fail → green; rule 3 shell 1 FAIL + tracer 1 fail → green. rg2.log.
• Replay-found fixes: proxy store, shell 1 FAIL → ok (rg2.log); .stop endpoint, shell 1 FAIL → ok (rg3.log); online verdict and Replace completion, red/green on the real host (Finish / authority_commit ok=false → Replace / ok=true; see 77791).

Real environment

J160 round: Re-enroll end to end with terminal I/O, and a cancel right after confirming that ends enabled and active (77323). D337: in-use refusal by name; Re-enroll deleting the old install and key; a Replace whose open terminal carries over (same shim PID, attached through the new agent, echoed) (77791, screenshots attached). Fixture restored at the end (stuck journal, agent enabled and running, first-shell shim). Captures 12/12.

Every row except test passes. Its only failures are three infraternal-agent::remote_client timing tests in a crate this branch does not change. The same test row fails on unmodified origin/dev on compute01 (e99097fa8, cargo test --workspace --locked, run twice now): run 1 real_binary_rootless_readiness_and_person_terminal_use_own_account ... FAILED, run 2 video_cannot_answer_a_solicited_surface_control_exchange ... FAILED (chain10.log, devtest-{1,2}.log). The three remote_client tests pass under the gate's own workspace features at this head and on dev when run alone (chain9.log), and the same three fail in at least nine other jobs' compute01 gates. Seven gates on this branch each hit a different flaky test; the ones that were mine (fmt, clippy ×3, an AF_UNIX path in my shell test) are fixed.

Static size at 33e8c51ba: x86_64 23,284,528 B, aarch64 21,177,760 B (D243 report-only deltas +866,272 / +724,480 vs baseline).

For kayg

1. "Connected" cannot be seen from the host (rule 1). A running old agent with open terminals is treated as possibly connected and refused, with the wording "may still be connected". So a machine whose old server is gone but whose agent still runs a terminal is refused until that agent is stopped. A real signal needs an agent status (agent status is "not available yet").
2. Rule 3 on Re-enroll: no terminals are inherited across servers. A Re-enroll that rule 1 allows (agent not running) still ends any leftover shims, and the confirmation says so.
3. J153 P3-2 (set-aside key lifetime) is settled by D337: deleted at commit, and on the next Check after a crash.
4. Open risks, reported and not changed: an upgrade stuck before it restages the payload cache is refused (71, bin/live has two links); the fresh-journal path still refuses a current shim's .stop endpoint.
5. Known residual (P2-1): a restore that overtakes a set-aside before the set-aside takes the guard reports "untouched" while the set-aside still runs; the next Check offers Put it back.

Its only failures are three `infraternal-agent::remote_client` timing tests in a crate this branch does not change. **The same test row fails on unmodified origin/dev on compute01** (`e99097fa8`, `cargo test --workspace --locked`, run twice now): run 1 `real_binary_rootless_readiness_and_person_terminal_use_own_account ... FAILED`, run 2 `video_cannot_answer_a_solicited_surface_control_exchange ... FAILED` (`chain10.log`, `devtest-{1,2}.log`). The three `remote_client` tests pass under the gate's own workspace features at this head and on dev when run alone (`chain9.log`), and the same three fail in at least nine other jobs' compute01 gates. Seven gates on this branch each hit a different flaky test; the ones that were mine (fmt, clippy ×3, an AF_UNIX path in my shell test) are fixed. Static size at `33e8c51ba`: x86_64 23,284,528 B, aarch64 21,177,760 B (D243 report-only deltas +866,272 / +724,480 vs baseline). ### For kayg 1. **"Connected" cannot be seen from the host** (rule 1). A running old agent with open terminals is treated as possibly connected and refused, with the wording "may still be connected". So a machine whose old server is gone but whose agent still runs a terminal is refused until that agent is stopped. A real signal needs an agent status (`agent status` is "not available yet"). 2. Rule 3 on Re-enroll: no terminals are inherited across servers. A Re-enroll that rule 1 allows (agent not running) still ends any leftover shims, and the confirmation says so. 3. J153 P3-2 (set-aside key lifetime) is settled by D337: deleted at commit, and on the next Check after a crash. 4. Open risks, reported and not changed: an upgrade stuck before it restages the payload cache is refused (71, `bin/live` has two links); the fresh-journal path still refuses a current shim's `.stop` endpoint. 5. Known residual (P2-1): a restore that overtakes a set-aside before the set-aside takes the guard reports "untouched" while the set-aside still runs; the next Check offers Put it back.

J205 start — branch takeover-proof-305-j205, based on origin/fix-stale-bootstrap-305 at c89996cdd7eabed0a7e440b2650daeafce140d1b (which includes J93f's round-3 head 33e8c51ba).

Recommendation: use proof (b), as D349 asks. The new server issues a short-lived, single-use challenge bound to this host, the old server identity, this takeover attempt, and the observed live-terminal count. The old server identity key signs it. Missing, expired, replayed, or mismatched proof refuses takeover. The confirmation will say which old server and terminal count were proven, and that open terminal sessions carry over. Audit both accepted and refused proof attempts without storing private key material.

Plan:

1. Add failing server and tracer tests for scoped challenges, valid old-key signatures, mismatch/replay/expiry refusal, and audit records.
2. Implement proof validation and wire the existing in-use add-host confirmation to require it, using existing UI components and explaining session inheritance.
3. Restore and replay J93f's live-terminal fixture on compute01; request a test-server deploy and exercise the browser flow with the software passkey.
4. Run verify quick, then scripts/verify fast, attach real-build screenshots and fixture evidence, and push each atomic commit.

Estimate: 4–6 hours excluding shared build-slot waits.

Finding (J205): on the stacked base c89996cdd, the host-side check publishes in_use when an enrolled infraternal agent is live with open sessions, and Failure::public_message says taking it over is unavailable. The existing start-fresh request carries only target + one-use challenge; PreviousAttempt::start_fresh revalidates and refuses live state before cleanup. I will extend this exact confirmation path with old-server proof bound to the attempt and observed host/identity/session count, keeping any missing or mismatched proof fail-closed. Evidence: crates/plugins/ssh/src/model.rs (in_use_elsewhere, public_message), crates/plugins/ssh/src/previous_attempt.rs (start_fresh), and crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_api.rs (Request::StartFresh).

J205 design detail (D337/D349): I am building (b). The archived old server TLS identity key (active/remote.key) signs a short-lived transcript containing the one-use add-host challenge, previous host UUID, digest of its enrolled agent key, old server name, live-terminal count, and setup transaction. The new server verifies the submitted old server certificate against the old issuer certificate already recorded by the installed agent, then checks the signature. The archive and private key stay local; the browser submits only the public certificate and signature. A missing, changed, expired, replayed, or invalid proof refuses before host mutation. I will preserve and rehome the live session directory during takeover, delete the old install/key after new enrollment commits, audit proof/attempt outcomes without logging the proof, and explain the carry-over in the existing add-host failure card. A local infraternal takeover-proof command will create the response from the state archive.

J93f: gate GREEN after merging origin/dev, fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ c89996cdd7eabed0a7e440b2650daeafce140d1b

Merge: f288153bb merges origin/dev (including J163 2198148d7) into the branch as a merge commit; the reviewed commits up to 33e8c51ba are unchanged. One conflict, in install.rs's script prelude: the branch fixes the shared control flags there, and dev accepts a 0700/0711 root base (#263). Both are kept.

After the merge, c89996cdd (test docs only): dev's new doc coverage ratchet (D345) failed the first post-merge gate, with infraternal-server at 39.117% against a 39.123% baseline, because of this branch's stuck-install restore tests. They now have doc lines (infraternal-server 1394/3510 = 39.7%, +0.59). No behaviour change.

That first post-merge gate (f288153bb) also failed test once on infraternal-plugin-proxy supervisor_tests::a_holder_that_is_not_an_installed_traefik_is_named_in_the_error. The branch's diff against dev in crates/plugins/proxy and crates/infraternal-shim is 0 lines, and the test passed alone 3/3 at c89996cdd and 3/3 on origin/dev c06d1ce63 (compute01, gate-docs.log).

Decided by kayg via the orchestrator (recorded)

• "Running with open terminals" is treated as possibly connected and refused, as built.
• If the old agent isn't running, a Re-enroll proceeds and the leftover terminals end, with the confirmation saying so.

Follow-ups (not started)

1. An upgrade stuck before it restages the payload cache is refused on every Check (71: bin/live has two links).
2. The fresh-journal path in inspect_previous still refuses a current shim's <id>.stop endpoint.
3. P2-1 residual: a restore that overtakes a set-aside before the set-aside takes the guard reports "untouched" while the set-aside still runs; the next Check offers Put it back.
4. New with this merge: dev accepts a 0711 root base (#263), but the #305 recovery validators (previous_attempt.sh, as on dev) require $base to be exactly 700, so a stuck root install made by infraternal up would be refused (71).

An upgrade stuck before it restages the payload cache is refused on every Check (71: `bin/live` has two links). 2. The fresh-journal path in `inspect_previous` still refuses a current shim's `<id>.stop` endpoint. 3. P2-1 residual: a restore that overtakes a set-aside before the set-aside takes the guard reports "untouched" while the set-aside still runs; the next Check offers Put it back. 4. New with this merge: dev accepts a 0711 root base (#263), but the #305 recovery validators (`previous_attempt.sh`, as on dev) require `$base` to be exactly 700, so a stuck root install made by `infraternal up` would be refused (71).

P2 — A restore that wins the setup guard can report untouched while the canceled set-aside proceeds.

restore_replaced_install / restore_superseded_install wait for the parent guard, but when either gets it before replace_stuck_install / supersede_stuck_install, restore_unmoved sees no found-service, prints untouched, and returns. The still-running host command can then get the guard and stop/disable the service and move the install aside after the Add-host attempt was canceled. The 25-second guard wait only helps when set-aside already holds the lock.

I reproduced this as root on compute01 in a root-owned throwaway source copy from 33e8c51ba. The restore ran first; then I let the observed set-aside command continue:

restore-first: 0 untouched
set-aside-after-cancel: 0 base_exists= False aside_exists= True service= (False, False)

This is the restore-first residual J93f reported. The service ends stopped and disabled, with the original install moved aside; the person has to run another Check and Put Back to recover. The SSH cancel behavior J160 measured makes the ordering reachable because dropping the local client does not necessarily stop the remote command.

P2 — Finish can discard rollback state after the authenticated online decision has gone stale.

At 33e8c51ba, check_stuck_install uses hosts.online(host) to return Finish when the authenticated agent reports an available session inventory. That signal is not caller-spoofable, but it is a point-in-time server observation. The host-side finish_stuck_upgrade compares the previous identity snapshot with inspect_previous after stripping its final liveness field, then retires the setup lease, removes .bootstrap-lock, and calls retire_set_aside. It does not require the service or authenticated agent link to remain live at deletion time.

I reproduced this as root in the throwaway clone from 33e8c51ba: I created an activating journal with a previous-binary rollback copy, stopped the fixture service, then ran finish_stuck_upgrade with the previously observed snapshot. Result:

finish-after-agent-stops: 0 active=False journal_exists=False rollback_exists=False

So a service stop between the server’s online check and the host command can leave the machine offline after deleting both its rollback journal and set-aside recovery copy. This is a time-of-check/time-of-use availability risk, not a signal spoofing path.

J93f’s real-host replay confirms the intended connected/in-use decision and normal Replace path: a1-inuse.log:75 records live=true, sessions=1 and refusal; b-replace.log:97,108,148 records authority_commit ok=true, SUPERSEDED left=0, and the existing shim still attached and echoing. That does not exercise the disconnect window above.

Please bind irreversible Finish to the still-live authenticated session, or retain rollback material until a fresh connection confirms the finish.

J202 security re-review — REQUEST CHANGES for the requested snapshot fix-stale-bootstrap-305 at 33e8c51ba, reviewed against J160’s c4972a5d2. This verdict is scoped to that SHA; later commits recorded on #305 are not covered.

• P1: none found.
• P2: restore-first set-aside cancellation race; stale online decision lets Finish delete rollback state after the agent stops. See the two findings immediately above.
• P3: none found.

The requested safety checks otherwise passed review:

• The real-host in-use replay refused takeover with live=true, one open terminal, and the old service and shim unchanged. Replace then committed with authority_commit ok=true, removed the set-aside (SUPERSEDED left=0), and preserved the same shim attached and echoing. The inherited session remains on the same host and shim under the existing host identity and owner; I found no cross-account handoff path.
• The old install/key and set-aside are retired after successful enrollment; the D337 replay exercised old-key deletion. No retained set-aside copy was found in the reviewed cleanup paths.
• As root, validator probes accepted the valid current .stop and proxy credential paths (exit 0) and rejected symlinks, wrong modes, and foreign ownership (exit 71).
• The server online signal derives from the authenticated infraternal-agent link, so I found no caller-spoofing path. Its point-in-time nature is the second P2 above.
• Both server fixes were reasoned through. The Replace completion exception is limited to a replacement attempt for the existing host and owner, and the real-host replay reached a successful authority commit. The online-based Finish decision is vulnerable to the demonstrated disconnect window.

Root shell oracle on the throwaway clone: 81 tests in 65.264s, OK. J93f’s fixture is restored and untouched by this review: its service is active (MainPID 417019) and the prior shim PID 417036 is running.

No repository code changed in J202, so this review did not run a gate. J93f’s recorded scripts/verify fast result at the requested head was:

| test                      | FAIL (101)   |

Contract proposal for #305 (additive D337/D349 takeover proof):

• Add an optional takeover challenge to the existing in-use leftovers event. It binds the one-use setup challenge, old host UUID, enrolled agent-key digest, old server name and issuer, live-terminal count, setup transaction, and a short expiry.
• Add an optional proof to the existing start-fresh request: the old server leaf certificate and its signature over a versioned transcript of those fields. The local infraternal takeover-proof command consumes the challenge JSON on stdin and reads active/remote.key from the state archive; it emits only the public certificate and signature.
• The new server and host-side helper both verify the issuer pin, old server name, signature, expiry, and the unchanged host record before any stop. The challenge is single-use; missing or mismatched proof refuses and is audited.
• On success, keep the live session directory at its original path for adoption by the new infraternal agent, then delete the old set-aside install after enrollment commits. The confirmation names the old server and terminal count and says those sessions carry over.

I’m recording this contract proposal before code changes, as required by docs/PROCESS.md. The implementation remains on the existing J205 branch and uses the current OpenSSL/CA machinery.

J93f: J202's two P2s and follow-up 4 (0711), fixed: commits and root proof

Branch fix-stale-bootstrap-305, additive on c89996cdd (no reviewed commit rewritten):

Commit	What
7708fb5cb	J202 P2, Finish: finish_stuck_upgrade re-checks under the setup guard, right before the first delete, that the unit is still active; otherwise 75, with the journal, rollback copies and set-aside kept. Server message: "…stopped before its setup could be finished. Nothing was removed".
3eae2c1f6	J202 P2, restore/set-aside: one random cancel token per Replace/Re-enroll attempt, shared by its set-aside and its restore (PreviousAttempt::with_cancel, no public signature change). A restore that finds nothing moved writes $base.bootstrap-cancel-<token> under the guard. The set-aside checks for its own token first, under the same guard, then spends it and exits 75 before any stop. Whichever takes the guard first decides. Commits clear stale tokens; Put it back passes none.
db98946c0	Follow-up 4, 0711: root's /var/lib/infraternal may be 0711, exactly as infraternal up lays it out (#263), mirroring the installer preamble's root-only 700|711. private_base_mode (shell) and traversable_base (runtime helper) accept 0711 only as root at that exact path; everything under the base stays 0700. up_root_base is pinned in the installation prelude. Helper LEVEL 6 → 7, so cached helpers refresh.
45e742740	test fix: the 0711 oracle printed nothing under set -e on a refusal (caught by the per-commit red/green).

Red → green (shell oracle, compute01, rg-j202.log)

• 7708fb5cb: green; red with the parent's product: FAIL test_a_finish_whose_agent_stopped_since_the_check_keeps_the_rollback_state.
• 3eae2c1f6: green; red: FAIL ×3 (Replace and Re-enroll restore-first, stale-token clearing).
• db98946c0/45e742740: re-running with the fixed test, together with the gate (results to follow).

Real environment, as root on compute01 (/root/j93f-proof.sh; fixture restored before each case)

The real composed host scripts ran as the fixture user, with the runtime helper built at each commit: the parent is c89996cdd (the reviewed code plus docs), head is db98946c0.

  running agent+shim processes: 3

• P2-A: at the parent, J202's repro holds: untouched, then the cancelled Replace runs anyway (service inactive and disabled, journal moved to bootstrap-replaced-*). At head the restore leaves its token, and the late set-aside refuses (75): service active and enabled, journal in place, token spent.
• P2-B: at the parent the journal and previous-binary are deleted after the agent stopped (J202's rollback_exists=False). At head: 75, both kept.
• 0711 (root, in a private mount namespace, so the real /var/lib is untouched): at the parent the helper and base check refuse a 0711 /var/lib/infraternal (71). At head both accept it, and a 0711 directory elsewhere is still refused.

Fixture afterwards: stuck journal, agent enabled and active, agent plus first-shell shim (I stopped one stray shim, PID 341796, left by the parent's P2-A run: its executable was the deleted replaced-journal payload). An earlier attempt at this proof script ran with cwd /root, which the fixture user can't read, so its inspections came back empty and that output was discarded. The output above is from the corrected run.

scripts/verify fast at 45e742740 is queued on compute01; the result follows here.

J205 is starting on takeover-proof-305-j205, from c89996cdd (J93f's report head 33e8c51ba is in its ancestry). I’m implementing D349 option (b): a signature from the old server identity, bound to the observed host, old issuer, enrolled-key digest, terminal count, setup transaction, and one-use challenge. The focused regression is compiling on compute01; dev-02's queue had shown no progress for 42 minutes, so I moved this single run to compute01. No production behavior has changed yet; I’m waiting for the expected red result.

J205 is waiting on runner capacity for the required red test. Compute01 has all four build slots occupied and the regression is third in its queue (two earlier requests ahead, queued for 24 minutes at the latest status check). Dev-02 has both slots occupied with five earlier requests ahead. The test remains foreground; no implementation or fixture changes have started. I’ll resume as soon as a build slot opens.

Update: compute01 still has all four slots occupied; the J205 regression is second in its queue after 40 minutes. Dev-02 has both slots occupied and five earlier requests queued, so compute01 remains the shorter path. The corrected command is ready against the warm target but has not run yet.

D171 / docs/design/TASTE.md assigns UI implementation to the orchestrator and requires an approved mockup for new UI. This takeover needs a new proof confirmation flow. Can the orchestrator own the UI and its mockup approval once the backend contract is ready? I’ll continue with the proof, server, host, and CLI work meanwhile; the remaining UI and browser slice is estimated at 1–2 hours.

Finding (J205): the corrected compute01 regression another_servers_install_with_open_terminals_waits_for_takeover_proof ran and failed at the expected D337 boundary. The observed events ended in Step::Failed, message This machine is in use by another server., with no leftovers offer; the test failed with the stuck install must be offered first. No production code changed. This is the expected red result for the takeover prompt.

Finding (J205 UI, D337/D349): the new add-host copy regression is red on compute01 at branch 81264478b. bun test apps/tracer/test/addhost-copy.test.ts reports 15 pass / 1 fail. The new case expects a proven code takeover to name monitor01.example, show 2 open terminal sessions, say they carry over to this server, and offer take-over; current behavior returns “that isn't available yet” and fix: none. This is the expected failure before the UI implementation. No product code for the UI slice has changed yet.

J205 continuation on takeover-proof-305-j205, based on J93f's fix-stale-bootstrap-305; pushed UI head is 1983a3ab876ceddc97c06346db8760007a8153e0.

The UI now uses the existing add-host refusal card and shared named passkey confirmation. During the browser-readiness check I found the UI calls /remote/hosts/takeover/start and /remote/hosts/takeover/finish, but no matching server routes are present in the branch yet. The worktree also has two uncommitted Rust changes (takeover challenge/proof types and regressions); I am preserving and reviewing them before continuing the wiring.

Plan: finish and verify the proof routes, run scripts/verify quick and scripts/verify fast on an available VM, then use the test server and its software passkey for the requested production screenshots at 1440×900 and 393×852 in dark and light. Estimate: 2–4 execution hours, excluding build-slot and deployment waits.

Test-server request: once the takeover routes are ready, please deploy branch takeover-proof-305-j205 to https://test.ssh.kayg.org for the browser flow. I will sign in with the existing test-admin software-passkey helper and will not swap binaries myself.

J93f: gate GREEN with J202's two P2 fixes and the 0711 follow-up, fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ 65c023819b7beee6121a5c4925154c1553ac7c08

Additive on c89996cdd; no reviewed commit was rewritten (J205 can rebase):

Commit	What
7708fb5cb	J202 P2: Finish re-checks, under the guard and right before the delete, that the agent still runs; otherwise 75, with nothing removed
3eae2c1f6	J202 P2: a per-attempt cancel token makes the set-aside and its restore mutually exclusive under the setup guard
db98946c0	Follow-up 4: root's infraternal up base at 0711 is recoverable (shell and runtime helper, root and that exact path only; helper LEVEL 7)
45e742740	test: the 0711 oracle reported nothing on a refusal under set -e
65c023819	test: run_stuck's 10 s timeout is now the 60 s hang bound. A gate failed it with Elapsed; alone it passes 6/6 in about 4 s

Root proof on the fixture (red at c89996cdd, green at head): comment 78827.

(The red unit run cannot compile without traversable_base. The green unit line was filtered out by my grep; run from the gate-built binary: runtime_lock::tests::only_roots_up_base_may_be_traversable ... ok.)

Two gate runs before this one, not counted

• At 45e742740, my job script had exported INFRATERNAL_TEST_STATE_ROOT=/tmp/j93f (meant for the shell oracle) into verify fast. On compute01's tmpfs /tmp, that broke the infraternal restart tests (EXDEV, PermissionDenied). My environment, not the code; the gate now runs with the variable unset. (I also confirmed the 0711 proof's tmpfs over /var/lib stayed inside its private namespace: the host's /var/lib is untouched.)
• The clean run at 45e742740 failed only a_machine_another_server_enrolled_joins_as_a_new_host_after_confirmation (Elapsed), fixed in 65c023819.

Finding (J205): scripts/verify quick ran in the foreground on dev-02 and stopped at fmt before compiling. It reported two rustfmt diffs in crates/plugins/ssh/src/model.rs (takeover transcript validation and SHA-256 parser wrapping); scope guard passed. I am correcting formatting before the next run.

I reran both focused shell regression cases as root in a throwaway source snapshot at 65c023819: restore-first Replace and Finish after the agent stops. 2 tests passed. The fixture harness used a local runtime-helper stub for its mock shell state; the refused paths return before any stop/delete action. J93f’s integrated root proof in comment 78827 separately exercises the compiled helper and real fixture: the canceled set-aside returns 75 with the service active/enabled and journal in place; Finish after the agent stops returns 75 with the journal and previous-binary retained. The 0711 shell oracle also passed in the root harness.

The 0711 probes found:

• A final-component symlink is refused by the shell check and by the runtime helper’s O_NOFOLLOW directory open.
• Environment-supplied base and up_root_base values were overwritten by the install prelude’s pinned /var/lib/infraternal values.
• A parent symlink or bind mount resolving at the exact allowlisted pathname passes the path and mode checks in a private mount namespace. Setting either up required root control of that namespace; I found no unprivileged route to redirect host operations. This is not an actionable finding for the stated root-only exception.

I left the live fixture untouched. It remains enabled and active (MainPID 350015) with shim PID 350027 and its shell PID 350028; the stuck journal remains present. The active fixture binary reports runtime level 2, so the root rerun isolated the changed shell refusals; J93f’s proof supplies the integrated level-7 helper result.

No code changed in this review, so I did not rerun the gate. J93f recorded scripts/verify fast at 65c023819 with VERIFY_EXIT=0 in comment 78994.

J205 finding: the takeover challenge needs the old install CA pin as well as its enrolled key digest and server name. The installed agent identity includes ca_der, and the remote server stores its issuer.pem, remote.pem and remote.key under the retained CA directory. The runtime probe currently reports only the key digest and server name from identity.json, so it cannot bind the archived TLS identity certificate to the host recorded trust anchor. I will add that pin, have the old archive sign the exact host challenge, and keep the fresh passkey ceremony bound to the same displayed host/server/session parameters. The UI already uses the add-host refusal card and shared confirmation; I am checking the challenge handoff and 44 px controls before production screenshots.

J205 queue update: the production tracer takeover spec is foreground through build-slot on dev-02, currently second in line after a quick gate and has waited 10 minutes. Both VM slots remain occupied; dev-02 has 168 GB free, while compute01 is at 28 GB above its disk floor. I am keeping this run in the foreground and will continue when its slot opens.

J205 finding: the first foreground run reached dev-02 slot 2, then stopped before Playwright discovered any tests because the VM worktree has no installed playwright package. The output is ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND for playwright imported by apps/tracer/playwright.config.ts; no product assertions ran. I am installing the locked dependencies on that VM worktree and will rerun the same production-build spec before changing the UI.

Owner approved finishing the UI in this J205 continuation without another mockup round. Branch takeover-proof-305-j205 stays stacked on origin/fix-stale-bootstrap-305 at 65c023819; head is 1983a3ab87. I am adding the signed challenge to the existing Details disclosure, preserving the refusal copy and shared passkey confirmation, then running the production-build browser spec on a VM. The test-server deploy request remains in the earlier comment.

UI test queue update: the first browser spec is still queued on dev-02 at position 4, with three older jobs ahead and 133 GB free; compute01 also has all four slots busy and four queued, with 84 GB free. The locked Bun dependencies are installed on dev-02. The red Playwright case has not started yet; I am holding it in the foreground.

J93f: merged origin/dev (D349 infra alias, J198) into fix-stale-bootstrap-305 @ ee54cea67723810bfb229562ce80ca1515367024: verify fast GREEN

J202-approved 65c023819 is unchanged; ee54cea67 is a merge commit on top (J205 can rebase).

Conflict: runtime_cleanup.sh's journal marker list. This branch added failed and made an unknown entry refuse by name; dev (J204, D349) added creating-alias. Both are kept.

Semantic fix in the same merge: the #305 recovery validators in previous_attempt.sh (validate_upgrade_stage and the fresh-journal check) now also allow creating-alias. Without it, a setup interrupted while creating the alias was refused by recovery, and the rollback that removes only our link never ran.

Root proof on the fixture (/root/j93f-alias-proof.sh)

The journal is marked as a failed activation interrupted while creating the alias. The real composed scripts run as the fixture user: the check, then the product's rollback (runtime cleanup, then FRESH_CLEANUP and ROLLBACK_TRANSACTION extracted from install.rs).

== A: the #305 check on a journal interrupted while creating the alias
  parent (65c023819): rc=0 record=INFRATERNAL_SETUP_REFUSED
  head (ee54cea67): rc=0 record=INFRATERNAL_SETUP_UPGRADE
== B: the rollback with infra present
  ours: infra j93fixture -> infraternal; rollback rc=0; infra removed; journal=no
  foreign-target: infra j93fixture -> /usr/bin/true; rollback rc=0; infra kept (j93fixture -> /usr/bin/true); journal=no
  foreign-owner: infra root -> infraternal; rollback rc=0; infra kept (root -> infraternal); journal=no
== fixture restored as found
  active=active enabled=enabled journal=activating cache kind lease payload replacing-binary replacing-launcher transaction 

infra that is ours (fixture user, -> infraternal) is removed; a user-owned link elsewhere and a root-owned link to infraternal are kept. The fixture had no infra before the proof; it is restored as found. (A first run of B exited 71 in all three cases because my proof passed a placeholder host id that the rollback's owner check rejects; it was rerun with the real id.)

Shell oracle

previous_attempt_shell: test result: ok. 2 passed (the Python suite inside passed).

The only failure is dev's remote_probe_tests.rs:738,759 calling Bindings::retained_history(), which exists only with test-support. quick compiles infraternal-plugin-remote's tests without it, because this branch changes runtime_lock.rs in that crate.

Base update from owner: origin/dev is now e5dd7f40dd, including J93f merge ee54cea67. I will finish the queued red UI assertion on the unchanged branch, then rebase takeover-proof-305-j205 onto this base before implementation, fixture proof, and final gates. I will retain the D349 creating-alias recovery marker if any allow-list work becomes necessary.

Queue update after rechecking both VMs: dev-02 now has one queued quick gate running, two jobs ahead of the J205 red browser spec (position 3), and 135 GB free. Compute01 has four jobs running, five queued ahead, and 73 GB free. The red spec remains foreground and has not reached test discovery. After it returns, I will rebase onto e5dd7f40d before changing product code.

J205 red-run queue update: dev-02's earlier quick gate and browser job are still using both slots; the Playwright spec is now first in line and has waited 51 minutes. Compute01 remains deeper and was not selected. After this red run, the branch will be rebased onto the fetched origin/dev e5dd7f40d; final fixture proof and gates will use the rebased head.

The existing Details disclosure showed Old server: monitor01.example and 2 open terminal sessions, but lacked Old server challenge. No earlier setup/assertion failed, and no product code changed. The first VM run ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND was resolved by installing the locked tracer dependencies.

J205 continuation: branch takeover-proof-305-j205 is rebased onto origin/dev at e5dd7f40d (including J93f ee54cea67), local head 1dca0bf8b. The old-server proof UI is committed; the expected-red production browser assertion is recorded in 79138. Three uncommitted files contain the challenge/proof model and server/UI regressions. No J205 build or browser process is still running. The D349 creating-alias marker remains in both recovery allow-lists.

Remaining plan: finish challenge generation and strict proof verification on the server/host path, add the archive signing command and audited action-bound passkey completion, carry live terminals into the new install, add the challenge to the existing Details disclosure, then run the real open-terminal fixture and restore it. Ask the orchestrator for the test-server deploy when the backend is ready; capture the production UI at 1440×900 and 393×852 in both themes. Run scripts/verify quick, then scripts/verify fast on the final head. Estimate: 4–6 execution hours, excluding build-slot and deploy waits. Both VM queues were full at the last check; I have not queued a run.

J205 continuation on takeover-proof-305-j205.

• The branch already contains refreshed origin/dev at 54ca98177, including merge e5dd7f40d and J93f's ee54cea67; origin/dev is an ancestor of HEAD 9940e2109.
• The branch's UI slice uses the existing add-host refusal/details and shared passkey confirmation. Current uncommitted work adds a CA-pinned challenge transcript and starts the live-install regression.
• Plan: (1) finish old-identity certificate/signature checks and add infraternal takeover-proof --archive with bounded safe archive reads; (2) bind takeover to the existing one-use setup challenge and D336 fresh passkey action, issue a one-use ticket, audit it, then recheck the old host observation immediately before retiring the old service while preserving terminal shims; (3) prove the flow on J93f's open-terminal fixture and restore it, request test-server deploy and capture the four required production screenshots; (4) run scripts/verify quick then scripts/verify fast in the foreground, and post final evidence/head.
• Queue snapshot: compute01 4/4 slots busy with 117 GB free; dev-02 2/2 slots busy with 80 GB free and three queued jobs. No build/test has been queued in this continuation.
• Remaining estimate: 6–8 execution hours excluding slot waits.

Rebased takeover-proof-305-j205 onto refreshed origin/dev at 2a4f29de4; current local head is dd4ecbd3d. origin/dev already contains e5dd7f40d and ee54cea67, and both SSH recovery allow-lists still contain creating-alias.

Finding: the current browser proof parser accepts only certificate_der and signature (apps/tracer/src/canvas/addhost/wizard.ts::takeoverProofOf), while the signed proof contract requires issuer_certificate_der too (crates/infraternal-plugin-api/src/takeover.rs::TakeoverProof, verified by crates/plugins/remote/src/takeover.rs). A complete archive proof would be rejected in the UI before the server can verify it. I’ll add a client test and align the parser as part of the implementation.

The focused server regression is queued in the foreground on dev-02 at position 6; it is synced to the rebased base plus the current WIP edits.

Finding on rebased head dd4ecbd3d: the foreground command compiled successfully, but selected 0 tests. The new live-takeover regression is in , which has no module declaration in ; the file is not part of the test binary. I’m wiring it under the SSH+remote test features so the next run exercises the intended host flow. Also fixed the isolated compile error in the new OpenSSL verifier: both closures need mutable verifier bindings.

Correction to my previous comment: shell interpolation removed the code names from that comment. The finding is that the foreground cargo test command compiled successfully but selected zero tests. The new live-takeover regression is in crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_stuck_restore_tests.rs, which has no module declaration in lib.rs and therefore is absent from the test binary. I’m wiring it under the SSH and remote test features so the next run exercises the host flow. The same compile run exposed an isolated error in the new OpenSSL verifier: both verify_oneshot closures need mutable verifier bindings.

Finding on rebased head dd4ecbd3d: after correcting the fixture's check-record marker, the SSH+remote regression runs and fails at the current D337 refusal branch. It returns “This machine is in use by another server” with two open sessions, but emits no takeover challenge or confirmation. The service remains running and no supersede script runs. This is the expected red case for the missing proof path.

J205 continuation: takeover-proof-305-j205 is rebased onto latest origin/dev at 9ad91ed19 (including #305 part 2 e5dd7f40d and J93f ee54cea67). Rebased HEAD 3d190f3dc is pushed. The in-progress takeover/server/host changes are local in this worktree and not yet committed.

Plan: finish the archive signature plus exact passkey action, recheck the observed host identity and live-terminal count before mutation, audit and consume a one-use ticket, preserve live terminal sockets through setup and rollback, then run focused checks and prove/restore J93f's real open-terminal fixture. I will capture the production UI at 1440×900 and 393×852 in dark and light, then run scripts/verify quick and scripts/verify fast in the foreground.

Please deploy this branch to the test server for the browser flow once I report the backend ready. I will sign in with the orchestrator's existing software-passkey setup. I checked both recovery allow-lists; the D349 creating-alias marker remains present.

Finding on 3d190f3dc plus the current uncommitted proof work: PreviousAttempt::takeover_findings takes enrolled_key_sha256 from the installed host identity, while trusted_server_certificate currently compares it with the public key in the old server archive’s active/remote.pem. Those are the host agent key and server TLS key, respectively. A valid old-server archive therefore cannot prove this host. I’m changing certificate validation to use the pinned old CA and server name, keeping the host key digest in the signed challenge, and adding a regression with distinct keys.

J205 queue update: the distinct host/server-key proof regression is in the dedicated j205-red-proof-9ad VM worktree. Compute01 had a slot free but ten jobs ahead; dev-02 had two active slots and one job ahead, so the test is waiting there in the foreground at position 2. No implementation change has been made after writing the regression; I will capture the expected red output before fixing the verifier.

J205 foreground queue update: the distinct host/server-key regression has not started yet. On dev-02-std it is still at the head of the queue after about 45 minutes; both slots are busy and three jobs are queued. Compute01 has four busy slots and six queued jobs, so dev-02 remains the shorter queue. I’m continuing source review while this red run waits, and will not start a competing build.

Finding: the first queued takeover_proof_accepts_the_old_server_key_separately_from_the_host_key run exited 101 during compilation, before test discovery. It exposed an Axum router state mismatch when merging the new takeover routes, three bootstrap API test fixtures missing the new takeover state, and a passkey test fixture that needed mutable authenticator state. I fixed those compile prerequisites locally; the expected verifier failure has not yet been observed. I’m syncing these fixes to the red-run worktree and rerunning the focused test.

Progress on takeover-proof-305-j205: the verifier no longer compares the old server TLS key with the host agent key. The pinned CA, certificate chain and server name remain checked, and the challenge still signs the host key digest. The focused rerun is queued first on dev-02 after two active jobs; compute01 currently has a longer queue. Foreground session 62452 is being polled. Next: confirm the focused test passes, then continue the archive proof command and end-to-end host path.

Finding from the current source: host_takeover_audit requires proof_verified=1 and passkey_approved=1, and the only insert is in passkey finish. The plan recorded here calls for auditing accepted and refused proof attempts. I added refused_takeover_proof_is_audited_without_private_material first; it will be run red after the active focused verifier rerun returns. The refusal row will contain only the stored public host coordinates and outcome, never proof bytes.

Green proof finding: the focused takeover_proof_accepts_the_old_server_key_separately_from_the_host_key rerun compiled and passed (1 passed, 878 filtered out); its prior run failed at the expected verify_takeover_proof assertion. The verifier now separates the host enrollment key from the old server identity while retaining the CA pin, chain/name validation, and signed transcript. The compile exposed one unused local in the verifier, which I am removing before the broader precheck.

J205 queue update: the focused refused-proof audit test is still first in dev-02 build-slot after 18 minutes; both slots remain busy and one job is queued behind it. It is in the separate j205-red-proof-9ad worktree, so the local branch rebase is complete and the D349 recovery markers are unaffected. Once the red result returns, I will sync the VM worktree to the rebased head and rerun the test there.

Finding on the focused refused-proof audit regression: the foreground cargo test failed before test discovery, with two missing takeover fields in Leftovers initializers at previous_attempt.rs:484 and :543. The run used the stale J205 VM snapshot; the current takeover-proof-305-j205 source already includes takeover: None at both initializers. No audit assertion ran. I am syncing the pushed current branch onto a clean VM worktree and will rerun the expected-red audit test there before changing the audit behavior.

J241 start: interrupted-setup Start fresh → "already added" → terminal spins (production 8d3207cc8)

Branch addhost-startfresh-j241 from origin/dev eb0684cbf. Read-only on production (log and mode=ro DB) and on code. Nothing there was changed.

Root cause (code and prod DB read, repro next)

Two separate host ids are involved:

• 07fccfc3…: the setup journal that was left on code in ~/.local/share/infraternal. Production has no remote_hosts row for it, so the app offered the "Confirm" cleanup. Start fresh removed it correctly (outcome="completed").
• c74f6d38…: production's own row from Nov 2 (created 1793546524). The prod DB (mode=ro) shows its join token was redeemed (consumed_at = issued + 1 s), it has a certificate (not_after 1794151325), its remote_bootstrap_retirement_intents row is still open, and one terminal_sessions row for it has closed_at NULL (created = last_seen = 1793546524). That is the first shell, published and never used.

What happens next:

1. On startup, retire_unfinished_bootstraps (bootstrap_retirement.rs:72) revokes every host that has an open intent, except hosts with an open terminal session. So the ghost first shell keeps c74f6d38 alive across every restart and deploy.
2. After Start fresh, the check step runs preflight_existing_host (ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:1466), which runs existing_host (bootstrap_remote.rs:170). It matches any non-revoked row with this address and does not look at whether setup ever completed. It finds c74f6d38 → already_added (the log reads step="check" failure_kind="setup").
3. The UI then offers "Open a terminal" on c74f6d38. Its infraternal agent isn't running and never finished setup, so the terminal waits forever.

So Start fresh worked. It just cleaned the host's leftovers and could never clean the server's half-finished row.

Plan (estimate 3–4 h excluding slot waits)

1. Repro on compute01 with a throwaway 8d3207cc8 server: create the same server-side shape (host + cert + bootstrap row + open intent + open first-shell session) plus host leftovers, run Start fresh, and see the same check failure.
2. On the repro, check the owner workaround (expected: Console → code → Remove, then Add host kayg@code.vpn.kayg.org rootless) and post it here.
3. Fix with failing tests first: (a) a row whose setup never completed (open retirement intent) is not "already added": setup retires it and continues; (b) "already added" never offers a terminal for such a host.

J241: what to do now on production (8d3207cc8), checked on a repro

Short version: Remove the stale code entry, then add kayg@code.vpn.kayg.org again (rootless). Retry alone won't work: every retry hits the same stale entry and shows "already added" again.

Steps (IST, a few minutes)

1. Don't open the terminal on the "already added" card. That entry's infraternal agent never finished setup, so the terminal can't open.
2. Go to Console, open code.vpn.kayg.org (shown offline), choose Remove, and confirm with your passkey.
   • The result will say "…infraternal is still installed on it. Remove it there … with: ~/.local/bin/infraternal --bootstrap-uninstall …". Ignore this. code has nothing installed (~/.local/share/infraternal is already gone), and the server says it only because it couldn't reach an infraternal agent.
3. Add host → kayg@code.vpn.kayg.org, rootless. Remove forgot the SSH host-key pin, so the app asks you to confirm code's host key once. No leftovers prompt should appear this time.
4. Wait for it to finish. Open the terminal only once it says the host is ready.

Evidence (compute01, throwaway 8d3207cc8 server, ~claude/j241/)

Production's DB shape was rebuilt: an old non-revoked host with a certificate, an open retirement intent and an open first-shell session, with the same address as the target (inject.py, logs/ghost.txt). Then:

• Bug reproduced (logs/repro.out): check → "This host is already added. Open its terminal from Console.", already_added:true, host_id = the ghost. The server log has the same line as production: step="check" failure_kind="setup" (logs/s1.log 12:18:35Z).
• Remove through the UI's own remove/start + remove/finish (MODE=remove): 200, state:"removed", host_cleanup:"unreachable". The ghost is revoked and its address row deleted.
• Re-add (logs/readd2.out): goes check → install → facts → connect. It is no longer "already added", and the infraternal agent installs and enrolls.

What I could not prove

On my throwaway target, the last step (connect) fails with "The host connected, but its preferred account login could not open". It also failed this way on the very first add to that target, before any stale entry existed, so it comes from that VM's login setup (a local account reached through a private sshd), not from this bug. A failed add on 8d3207cc8 retires its own entry cleanly (checked in the DB: revoked, no intent, no open session), so a failed attempt doesn't create a new stale entry, and you can simply try again. The test server has no hosts today, so I have no field evidence of a finished rootless add on this build. If step 4 fails at connect, post the message here and don't open the terminal.

Fix work starts now on addhost-startfresh-j241: (a) a host whose setup never completed doesn't count as "already added"; setup retires it and continues; (b) "already added" never offers a terminal for such a host.

J241 progress: the fix is pushed as WIP bcab9dc0f on addhost-startfresh-j241 (base origin/dev eb0684cbf).

• Change (bootstrap_remote.rs::existing_host): a matching host counts as "already added" (which offers its terminal) only when its setup finished or its infraternal agent is connected now. A match whose setup never finished (open retirement intent) has two outcomes. If an attempt in this server is still installing it, the add is refused as "already being added" with no host id, so there's no terminal offer. Otherwise it is an abandoned record, as on code: it is retired the way a cancelled attempt is (transport fence, then retire_bootstrap revokes it and consumes the intent in one transaction), and setup continues.
• Tests (failing first): readding_a_host_whose_setup_never_finished_retires_it_instead_of_already_added (production's shape: address, open intent, open first-shell session, survives retire_unfinished_bootstraps) and an_unfinished_setup_still_running_here_is_not_retired_by_another_add.
• Runs: red (tests only, no fix) is queued on dev-02 (~/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/red-821d21d27.log); green is queued on compute01 (…/green-bcab9dc0f.log). Next: the VM repro with a branch build, then verify quick/fast.

Otherwise it is an abandoned record, as on `code`: it is retired the way a cancelled attempt is (transport fence, then `retire_bootstrap` revokes it and consumes the intent in one transaction), and setup continues. - **Tests (failing first)**: `readding_a_host_whose_setup_never_finished_retires_it_instead_of_already_added` (production's shape: address, open intent, open first-shell session, survives `retire_unfinished_bootstraps`) and `an_unfinished_setup_still_running_here_is_not_retired_by_another_add`. - **Runs**: red (tests only, no fix) is queued on dev-02 (`~/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/red-821d21d27.log`); green is queued on compute01 (`…/green-bcab9dc0f.log`). Next: the VM repro with a branch build, then `verify quick`/`fast`.

J205 queue update: the fixed-source quick gate has waited about 54 minutes on dev-02, still first in line. The active job on slot 1 is in the release static-metadata tests; slot 2 is running J216’s next test group. Compute01 has five jobs ahead of a new request, so dev-02 remains shorter.

WIP checkpoint pushed: faf83e785 on takeover-proof-305-j205 records rustfmt, the merged-base Clippy fixes and the D349 issuer-pin test fixture. The corrected scripts/verify quick remains queued first on dev-02 (same source content); its log path is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/quick-after-clippy-fixes-d87.log. I will supersede the WIP with verified atomic commits before finish.

J241 finding: fix proven red → green and on the VM repro

Branch addhost-startfresh-j241, head 802263091, on origin/dev efbd863e2. One commit, one file (crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_remote.rs, +168/−15). (I briefly force-pushed a wrong squash, d37c4a89f, which also reverted the GotaTun merge, because origin/dev moved under my reset --soft. It was replaced within minutes, on my branch only. The file in 802263091 is byte-identical to the tested bcab9dc0f.)

Red, then green (compute01, ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/)

• Without the fix (red-tests-only.log, same tests): test result: FAILED. 1 passed; 2 failed. Both new tests panic with already_added: true, … existing_host_id: Some(…2a), which is production's symptom including the terminal offer.
• With the fix (green-bcab9dc0f.log): test result: ok. 21 passed; 0 failed, covering both new tests and the neighbouring already-added, already-added break-it and #305 stuck-restore suites.

VM repro, A/B on the same state (~claude/j241/logs/before-8d3207cc8.*, after-bcab9dc0f.*)

Same production-shaped DB snapshot (ghost host: open intent, open first shell, certificate, same address) and the same clean target, as on code now:

• 8d3207cc8: check → "This host is already added. Open its terminal from Console.", already_added:true, host_id = ghost. Server log: step="check" failure_kind="setup", identical to production. The ghost is unchanged.
• Branch: host provisioning found an earlier setup that never finished host_id=4635e4aa-… outcome="retired". Setup continues check → install → facts → connect as a new host. The ghost is revoked and its intent consumed.
• Both runs then stop at connect with "preferred account login could not open". That comes from this VM's local test account (it happens with no ghost too), not from this bug. Open question for the orchestrator: the test server has no hosts, so no real rootless add on 8d3207cc8 has been seen to finish. This login step may be worth a real-host check before kayg relies on the re-add.

Gate (verify quick → verify fast) is running on dev-02 now.

Base update: merged latest origin/dev at 32a2f7046 into takeover-proof-305-j205 as 9ea8f86f8 and pushed. The branch includes D351 and retains D349 creating-alias in both previous_attempt allow-lists and runtime_cleanup. No new gate has run yet; I am resolving the pending CLI test/lint findings before the foreground quick gate.

J205 invocation finding: the second quick attempt obtained slot 1/2 at 14:54 but stopped before checks because nix develop was started in /home/claude; the cd into ~/worktrees/j205-proof was inside the child shell, so Nix could not find flake.nix. The worktree-context Nix check itself passes cargo --version. I will cd to the worktree before invoking build-slot/nix and confirm metadata once before the next gate.

J241 finish: head 802263091 on addhost-startfresh-j241 (base origin/dev efbd863e2)

One commit and one file: crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_remote.rs (+168/−15). Not merged or deployed. Production and code were read only and left untouched.

What changed: existing_host counts a matching host as "already added", which offers its terminal, only when its setup finished or its infraternal agent is connected. A match whose setup never finished is handled in one of two ways:

• if an attempt in this server is still installing it, the add is refused with "already being added" and no host id, so no terminal is offered;
• otherwise it's abandoned, as on code. It is retired on the cancelled-attempt path and setup continues.

Evidence (all files still exist):

• Red without the fix: compute01:~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/red-tests-only.log. Result FAILED. 1 passed; 2 failed, with already_added: true and the ghost's host id.
• Green with the fix: …/logs/green-bcab9dc0f.log. Result ok. 21 passed; 0 failed. bcab9dc0f's file is byte-identical to 802263091's.
• VM A/B on the production-shaped DB with a clean target: compute01:~claude/j241/logs/before-8d3207cc8.* and after-bcab9dc0f.*. Details are in comment 79926.

In isolation all 3 pass both on unmodified origin/dev efbd863e2 and on 802263091 (compute01:…/logs/flaky-ab.log, 3 passed each). This row uses default features, so bootstrap_remote's tests (feature remote) aren't even part of it.

Both failures are the same 6 tests in the infraternal binary: restart::… and restart_binary::audit_tests::…, each panicking with PermissionDenied on exec or inode. They fail identically on unmodified origin/dev efbd863e2 on dev-02 (dev-02:~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/restart-ab.log: 22 passed; 6 failed on both revisions). They predate this change and come from that VM's environment. Full logs: dev-02:…/logs/quick.log, fast.log.

Open items for the orchestrator / kayg

1. Account-login step on a real rootless host. On my throwaway target, both 8d3207cc8 and this branch stop at connect with "preferred account login could not open". The cause is local to that test account, but the test server has no hosts today, so no finished rootless add on 8d3207cc8 has been observed. Recommend one real-host add on the test server before kayg retries code.
2. The 6 restart tests fail on dev-02 even on origin/dev (PermissionDenied). This is worth its own issue.
3. An "already added" host whose agent is offline still offers a terminal that waits forever. That's the separate offline-terminal UX, not addressed here.

Cleanup: the throwaway server is stopped; the target user j241t, its sshd and its files are removed on compute01; both target dirs are deleted. Logs and scripts stay in compute01:~claude/j241/ and …/codex-scratch/j241/logs/.

J247 (review of addhost-startfresh-j241 @ 802263091): start + two field findings on the production build

Reviewer job J247. Worktree at 802263091; the red/green build is queued on compute01 (build-slot, compute01:~claude/j247/logs/tests.log). The full verdict comes later in this thread. These two findings are posted now because they decide whether the owner's next add of code can finish.

Setup: a throwaway 8d3207cc8 server (production's package ~/deploy-8d3207cc8-result) on compute01 with private data and its own software passkey (~claude/j247/private). Target meshtest@10.69.69.117, rootless. Note: port 22 on that address is NetBird SSH (remote software version NetBird-SSH-Server-0.82.0), not OpenSSH, so the add signs in with authentication.method = "network", the same path as kayg@code.vpn.kayg.org.

F-A: connect fails whenever the infraternal username differs from the SSH account (real bug, not local to J241's VM)

compute01:~claude/j247/logs/base-add2.out: check → install → facts → connect → failed: "The host connected, but its preferred account login could not open."

• Cause: preferred_accounts::read defaults the account to COALESCE(p.account, u.username), the infraternal username (owner here and in J241's run). A rootless infraternal agent can only open its own account (crates/infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:22-35, RootlessRefusal::{NoMatchingLogin, OtherAccount}), so confirm_preferred_login (bootstrap_remote.rs:1113) fails for every rootless add where those names differ.
• Proof: with only preferred_accounts.account = 'meshtest' set for the same owner (no UI exists for this yet, D336), the login step is no longer what stops the next attempt (see F-B).
• For kayg: if your infraternal username is exactly kayg, which matches kayg@code, F-A doesn't affect you. If it's anything else, every rootless add stops at connect.

F-B: after a failure at connect, every retry stops with "could not verify ownership or permissions" (exit 71)

logs/base-add3.out: install → "Automatic cleanup could not finish" → failed: "Setup could not verify ownership or permissions of its files on this host…", server log step="upload" exit_status=71.

• Cause: the failed attempt had already published, so its install stays complete on the host, its agent keeps running, and ~/.local/share/infraternal/.bootstrap-owner = the now-revoked host fb72b4b4…. STAGE_TRANSACTION (crates/plugins/ssh/src/install.rs:1440) then exits 71 because that owner differs from the new host id. No leftovers / Start fresh prompt is offered, so this is a dead end that looks like a permissions problem.
• This contradicts "a failed attempt … you can simply try again" (comment 79879) for any failure after publication.

Next: red/green of J241's tests, the security review, then the same end-to-end run on the branch head.

## J247 (review of `addhost-startfresh-j241` @ 802263091): start + two field findings on the production build Reviewer job J247. Worktree at `802263091`; the red/green build is queued on compute01 (`build-slot`, `compute01:~claude/j247/logs/tests.log`). The full verdict comes later in this thread. These two findings are posted now because they decide whether the owner's next add of `code` can finish. Setup: a throwaway **8d3207cc8** server (production's package `~/deploy-8d3207cc8-result`) on compute01 with private data and its own software passkey (`~claude/j247/private`). Target `meshtest@10.69.69.117`, rootless. Note: port 22 on that address is **NetBird SSH** (`remote software version NetBird-SSH-Server-0.82.0`), not OpenSSH, so the add signs in with `authentication.method = "network"`, the same path as `kayg@code.vpn.kayg.org`. ### F-A: connect fails whenever the infraternal username differs from the SSH account (real bug, not local to J241's VM) `compute01:~claude/j247/logs/base-add2.out`: `check → install → facts → connect → failed: "The host connected, but its preferred account login could not open."` - Cause: `preferred_accounts::read` defaults the account to `COALESCE(p.account, u.username)`, the **infraternal** username (`owner` here and in J241's run). A rootless infraternal agent can only open its own account (`crates/infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:22-35`, `RootlessRefusal::{NoMatchingLogin, OtherAccount}`), so `confirm_preferred_login` (`bootstrap_remote.rs:1113`) fails for every rootless add where those names differ. - Proof: with only `preferred_accounts.account = 'meshtest'` set for the same owner (no UI exists for this yet, D336), the login step is no longer what stops the next attempt (see F-B). - **For kayg:** if your infraternal username is exactly `kayg`, which matches `kayg@code`, F-A doesn't affect you. If it's anything else, every rootless add stops at connect. ### F-B: after a failure at connect, every retry stops with "could not verify ownership or permissions" (exit 71) `logs/base-add3.out`: `install → "Automatic cleanup could not finish" → failed: "Setup could not verify ownership or permissions of its files on this host…"`, server log `step="upload" exit_status=71`. - Cause: the failed attempt had already published, so its install stays complete on the host, its agent keeps running, and `~/.local/share/infraternal/.bootstrap-owner` = the now-revoked host `fb72b4b4…`. `STAGE_TRANSACTION` (`crates/plugins/ssh/src/install.rs:1440`) then exits 71 because that owner differs from the new host id. No leftovers / Start fresh prompt is offered, so this is a dead end that looks like a permissions problem. - This contradicts "a failed attempt … you can simply try again" (comment 79879) for any failure after publication.

J205 base update: merged current origin/dev at f332ffed3 into takeover-proof-305-j205 as ccc536506 and pushed. The branch includes #305 part 2 e5dd7f40d and J93f's ee54cea67; the D349 creating-alias marker remains in both previous_attempt allow-lists and runtime_cleanup.

On dev-02 at ccc536506, the D351 shape-lint check, its fixture tests, and the D345 changed-doc check all pass against merge base f332ffed3. Evidence: /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/prechecks-origin-dev-f332ffed3.log. Next I am running scripts/verify quick on this base; the earlier d09b395b2 run stopped before tests on the shape and doc findings.

J205 Clippy finding on head a13492bee, base f332ffed3: the D345/shape/fixed-wait rows pass, then the infraternal-server test build fails with E0753. Root cause: bootstrap_stuck_restore_tests.rs is textually included inside bootstrap_remote.rs::tests::stuck_restore; an inner //! comment in an include! fragment is parsed as an outer comment on use super::*. The fragment needs its own D345 module doc, so I am switching just this test block to a path-backed module and documenting the module item.

J205 runner update: the stricter refusal-text rerun on dev-02 was stopped after its linker stayed in uninterruptible disk wait for more than 8 minutes while holding a slot. I terminated only its process group and verified it exited. The incomplete log is /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/takeover-cli-mismatch-red-a13492bee-assertion.log; it is not a test result. The earlier focused run remains the red evidence for the missing action. I will verify the strengthened refusal case with the implementation.

J241 correction on F-A (#305, comment 80027 follow-up): production's owner row (read-only, mode=ro) is name='K Gopal Krishna', username='kayg', with no rows in preferred_accounts or preferred_host_accounts. preferred_accounts::read falls back to u.username, so for kayg@code.vpn.kayg.org the login account is kayg, the same as the SSH account. F-A does not affect kayg's re-add of code. "K Gopal Krishna" is the display name.

F-A is still real for anyone whose infraternal username differs from the SSH account (J247's owner vs meshtest). I'm fixing it on addhost-startfresh-j241 as asked, together with F-B, which does matter for kayg: any failure after the host-side commit leaves an install that blocks every retry with exit 71.

J247 verdict on addhost-startfresh-j241 @ 802263091: REQUEST CHANGES (F-A and F-B block the owner's retry)

Bottom line: the change itself is safe and does what it says. I found no way to take over or retire another person's host, or a live host. On its own, though, it won't let kayg re-add code:

• F-A (comment 80027): their infraternal username is "K Gopal Krishna", not kayg, so a rootless add stops at connect.
• F-B: after that failure, every retry stops at upload with exit 71.

Both bugs are in code this commit doesn't touch, and both are being fixed on this branch (orchestrator).

Red / green (compute01, ~claude/j247/logs/tests.log)

• Red: 8d3207cc8 plus only J241's two tests (bootstrap_remote.rs = base file + the 92 test lines, sha 543ec360…): test result: FAILED. 0 passed; 2 failed. Both fail with already_added: true.
• Green: 802263091: test result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed.
• Command: cargo test -p infraternal-server --features remote --lib -- readding_a_host_whose_setup_never_finished_retires_it_instead_of_already_added an_unfinished_setup_still_running_here_is_not_retired_by_another_add

Security review (diff only: crates/infraternal-server/src/bootstrap_remote.rs)

• Ownership / a different owner with the same address: safe. The lookup (bootstrap_remote.rs:192) filters on h.owner_id=?. retire_bootstrap (bootstrap_retirement.rs:34ff) updates only owner_id=? rows that still have an intent. Another owner's row is never matched or retired.
• Finished hosts: never retired. complete_bootstrap consumes the intent, so unfinished=false and the host counts as "already added" (:205). This holds even when its infraternal agent is briefly disconnected. Hosts from before intents existed have none, so they are also safe.
• Connected unfinished host: kept (:205, hosts.online).
• Race between two adds in this server: safe.
  • A running attempt is in attempts from reserve_attempt until completed_record, and completed() consumes the intent before it removes the attempt (:1017ff), so a second add gets "already being added" with no host id.
  • In failed() the attempt is removed before its retirement task finishes. If a second add retires the same host in that window, retire_bootstrap serializes the two, and the loser gets Denied, which is handled as Ok (:234).
• What retirement revokes:
  • The certificate: revoked_at plus commit_revocation (tombstone, revoke_login, transport quiesce).
  • The invitation: remote_join_tokens redemption requires h.revoked_at IS NULL (enrollment.rs:132,170).
  • The open first-shell terminal_sessions row is not closed. Remove and the cancelled-attempt path don't close it either. It's inert, since remote rows are never listed and the startup exception is keyed on intents, which are now consumed.
• #305 part 2: kept. Replace skips preflight (ssh/bootstrap.rs:1466). Finish runs preflight only after the old infraternal agent is confirmed connected. Reenroll/D337's in-use refusal is unchanged.

Findings

• P2 (plausible, not reproduced): completed() skips complete_bootstrap for a Replace (bootstrap_remote.rs:1017). If the replaced host was a never-finished row with an open intent (the journal names the ghost), it finishes with the intent still open. From then on this change treats a working host as unfinished, so a re-add of that address while its agent is offline retires it. Startup retirement already revokes such a host if it has no open session; that part predates this change. Suggested fix: in completed(), also consume any intent for a Replace and ignore Denied.
• P3: check_stuck_install's Reenroll branch (:742) now retires an abandoned row during the check, before the person confirms Start fresh. The row is dead, so the harm is low, but the change happens before confirmation.
• P3: on the Denied path (:234) the transport cut from :229 stays in cuts, with no tombstoned. In-process this only happens after another path revoked the host, so it's a small map leak.
• P3: an agent that is connected but hasn't reported its session inventory yet counts as offline (online() needs Available), so an unfinished row in that window can be retired. Only a re-add of the same address reaches this.

Blocking for the owner (both in code this diff doesn't touch; details in 80027)

• F-A: the default preferred account is the infraternal username (preferred_accounts.rs, COALESCE(p.account,u.username)). A rootless infraternal agent can only open its own account (infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:22), so every rootless add whose SSH account differs fails at connect and is retired. This hits kayg ("K Gopal Krishna" ≠ kayg). Reproduced on 8d3207cc8 against meshtest@10.69.69.117: compute01:~claude/j247/logs/base-add2.out.
• F-B: that failure happens after publication, so the install stays complete with .bootstrap-owner = the revoked host. The next add exits 71 in STAGE_TRANSACTION (ssh/src/install.rs:1440), reporting "could not verify ownership or permissions", and offers no Start fresh. Evidence: logs/base-add3.out, server log step="upload" exit_status=71.
• F-C (related): on that leftover, the by-hand ~/.local/bin/infraternal --bootstrap-uninstall <host> that the Remove result hands the owner also refused: infraternal was not removed: permission denied, exit 1. I removed it by hand.

Not done: end-to-end on the head

The orchestrator moved the end-to-end run to J241's next head. I stopped my package build partway through. What the rerun needs to know:

• The Nix package of this head (and of current dev f332ffed3) doesn't build. nix/package.nix has no outputHashes for the git gotatun-0.10.2. With the hash added (sha256-mS0CUgX9V/8z8GNYqnXzBaoaLOMGI/ffekINaWA4rks=), importCargoLock still fails: the registry and git gotatun-0.10.2 collide in the vendor dir (ln: … Permission denied; compute01:~claude/j247/logs/nixbuild.log). This blocks any deploy built through Nix since efbd863e2. It needs its own issue. Build with scripts/package-release plus bun run build (~claude/j247/pkg.sh).
• Port 22 on 10.69.69.117 is NetBird SSH, not OpenSSH (NetBird-SSH-Server-0.82.0). The add signs in with method:"network", the same path as code, and no host-key prompt appears.
• The infraternal agent's prepare step trusts only system roots. A throwaway server needs a DNS name (WebAuthn refuses an IP) and a certificate trusted on dev-02. I used infraternal-dev-01-compute01.vpn.kayg.org with a name-constrained self-signed cert, installed through cua's sudo and removed afterwards.
• Harness: ~claude/j247/ (srv.sh, drive.ts with a new MODE=terminal, interrupt.sh, inject2.py, and a private sw-authenticator.ts whose state is in ~/j247/private).

Cleanup: throwaway servers stopped. meshtest is back to its original state: one authorized key and no .local/.config. dev-02's trust store is back to 120 certs. The scratch target and bundle are deleted, the review SSH key and TLS key are removed, and the logs are kept.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES. The diff's security is sound (one P2, three P3s), but F-A and F-B block the owner's retry until they're fixed on this branch.

A throwaway server needs a DNS name (WebAuthn refuses an IP) and a certificate trusted on dev-02. I used `infraternal-dev-01-compute01.vpn.kayg.org` with a name-constrained self-signed cert, installed through `cua`'s sudo and removed afterwards. - Harness: `~claude/j247/` (`srv.sh`, `drive.ts` with a new `MODE=terminal`, `interrupt.sh`, `inject2.py`, and a private `sw-authenticator.ts` whose state is in `~/j247/private`). **Cleanup:** throwaway servers stopped. meshtest is back to its original state: one authorized key and no `.local`/`.config`. dev-02's trust store is back to 120 certs. The scratch target and bundle are deleted, the review SSH key and TLS key are removed, and the logs are kept. **Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES.** The diff's security is sound (one P2, three P3s), but F-A and F-B block the owner's retry until they're fixed on this branch.

J205 base update: merged origin/dev at 19737d86d into takeover-proof-305-j205 and pushed head bce8a09eb. The only merge overlap was the mesh lint fixture; I kept its helper extraction, which also has no too_many_lines allow. D349 creating-alias remains in both previous_attempt allow-lists and runtime_cleanup.\n\nFixture precheck on compute01: both J93 SSH units are active, the old infraternal daemon is PID 3705141, its terminal shim is PID 3705153, and login session 140 belongs to j93fixture. Sanitized log: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/fixture-precheck-bce8a09eb.log. I am syncing the merged branch and will rerun the proof and gates on this base.

J205 progress on takeover-proof-305-j205:

• The branch now includes current origin/dev at 19737d86d (merge bce8a09eb) and that update is pushed.
• I pushed a WIP checkpoint c07c39e63 for the local takeover-proof --archive command, which reads only the three bounded identity members and emits only the public proof.
• The focused CLI test is still queued on dev-02 at position 4; its live log is ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/takeover-cli-after-merge-bce8a09eb.log. compute01 also has every slot occupied and a longer queue.
• J93's fixture is unchanged: both SSH units, the old daemon and the terminal shim are active. Its archive is root-owned mode 0600 and remains unopened. The sanitized precheck is ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/fixture-precheck-bce8a09eb.log.

Next: finish the focused proof test, run scripts/verify quick, then proceed with the real fixture, test-server browser flow and scripts/verify fast on the merged base.

J205 queue and fixture update on takeover-proof-305-j205 at c07c39e63:

• The focused CLI run is still in the foreground queue on dev-02, now behind two older jobs. The queue has been full for 31 minutes; its live log is ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/takeover-cli-after-merge-bce8a09eb.log. Compute01 is also full, with a longer queue.
• J93's root-only scratch contains the matching synthetic old-server identity for j93fixture.invalid. The certificate name and pinned CA check passed; the result is server_name=j93fixture.invalid pinned_issuer_matches=true in ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/fixture-issuer-check.log. I have not opened or copied its private key.
• The old daemon and terminal shim remain active, and the fixture archive remains unchanged.

I will continue polling the focused run, then run the quick gate and use the matching old identity only through the local proof command during the fixture replay.

Correction to my previous fixture update: the matching J93 synthetic old-server identity is now packaged for CLI use at /root/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/j93-old-server-state.tgz on compute01. It is owned by root, mode 0600, and contains only the expected CA certificate, server certificate and server private key paths. The key bytes were never printed or logged. I will delete this temporary archive after the proof; the J93 host fixture itself remains untouched.

J205 progress: head 259e80e26 is pushed on takeover-proof-305-j205. The three WIP checkpoints now cover the local archive proof command, the documented restore-test module path, and the production capture after the passkey action becomes enabled.

The focused CLI test still has no result because it has not entered a slot. It is waiting on dev-02 behind one older job; both Linux VMs remain full. The matching J93 old-server archive is staged root-only on compute01 for the later real proof; the fixture state remains untouched.

J205 base update: merged origin/dev at 5ea05cc2e into takeover-proof-305-j205, resolved the mesh persistence fixture with access_ssh: None, and pushed head a8aa11277. The merge retains D349's creating-alias marker in both recovery allow-lists and runtime cleanup. I have not rerun proof or gates on this base yet.

Please deploy head a8aa11277 to the test server when available for the browser flow. I will use the orchestrator-provided software passkey via test-admin-signin.ts, then capture production screenshots at 1440×900 and 393×852 in dark and light and attach them here. I am starting scripts/verify quick on dev-02 now.

J241 progress on addhost-startfresh-j241, head 306128404 (origin/dev efbd863e2 + 6 commits):
802263091 stale-row retirement · 9315f7de7 F-A default login = SSH account · bd6fa4e14 F-B remove a committed install when a later step fails · 20fb20f34 F-C by-hand uninstall without a user session · da5d5716a P2 completed Replace marks setup finished · 306128404 P3s (no retirement before confirmation, cut released on Denied, any connected agent keeps its host).

Findings so far (compute01, ~claude/j241/logs/, ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/):

• Red (fab.log): without their fixes, F-A, P2, P3 and F-B's tests all FAIL. Green (green2.log, 89416784f, same code apart from F-B's lock release below): server 29 passed; 0 failed; ssh install suite 104 passed; 0 failed.
• F-C, reproduced and fixed (logs/fc-byhand.txt): on a leftover from a real 8d3207cc8 failed add, the by-hand --bootstrap-uninstall <host> works from a login whose session sets XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. With it unset (a login with no systemd user session) it prints infraternal was not removed: permission denied, rc=1, because systemctl --user can't reach the manager and that failure was mapped to PermissionDenied. With the branch binary, same leftover, same environment: infraternal was removed from this machine., rc=0, service inactive.
• End to end, owner's shape + F-A: server username owner, SSH account j241t, rootless, with production's stale-row shape in the DB → found an earlier setup that never finished … retired → done (logs/e2e-owner-shape-named.*). The terminal opened as account:"j241t", echo ok printed ok, and the nonce file /home/j241t/.j241-proof was written by j241t (logs/e2e-terminal11.*, screenshot e2e-terminal11-echo.png).
• F-B, found on the VM: the first version's in-session uninstall failed ("Automatic cleanup could not finish"). The installer wrapper holds the setup lock (fd 9) and the uninstall takes the same lock itself, so it timed out after 5 s. The unit test's stand-in uninstall didn't lock, so it missed this. Fixed by releasing the lock just before the hand-off (the uninstall revalidates ownership under its own lock), and the test's stand-in now locks like the real one. That's folded into bd6fa4e14. Lock red/green and the VM rerun are queued.

Notes:

• Production's owner is username='kayg' (comment 80122), so F-A does not hit kayg@code. F-B and F-C apply to anyone.
• Not covered here, for a separate issue: the server's own console asks for the infraternal username. With owner (no such account on the server's machine), it is refused with no_login, and the UI spins forever instead of showing that refusal (frames in logs/e2e-terminal9.out).
• Gate (verify quick → fast) is queued on dev-02.

Baseline proof for the quick gate: on a clean detached worktree at origin/dev 5ea05cc2e, python3 scripts/test-shape-lints.py exited 1 with the same test_no_local_exceptions finding, crates/infraternal-server/src/mesh_ssh.rs. That file is byte-for-byte unchanged on J205 against origin/dev, and its #[allow(clippy::too_many_lines)] is inherited from D349 base. I am leaving it untouched and fixing the branch-added doc-comment and test-wait findings.

J205 resumed after dev advanced past the branch's previous base. I merged origin/dev at f9f8ced33 into takeover-proof-305-j205 and pushed merge head 5da5d714d; I chose a merge to preserve the already-pushed review history. The D349 creating-alias marker remains present in both recovery allow-lists and runtime cleanup.

The previous quick-gate failure was the inherited mesh_ssh.rs D351 lint; current dev contains the upstream repair. The quick rerun and real fixture proof on this base have not run yet. Fixture archive and restore-helper metadata were checked without reading key bytes: the archive is root-owned mode 0600, and the restore script hash is f9e5d0b37902b4271c347624e41eec4e363f1c1fc373180dd2070a083e02a03d.

Before queueing heavy work, compute01 had all four slots busy and two queued; dev-02 had both slots busy and four queued. I will wait for compute01, which also hosts the J93 fixture, and poll in the foreground. Orchestrator: please target 5da5d714d for the test-server browser flow and production screenshots at 1440x900 and 393x852 in dark and light; no deployment result is recorded yet.

Logs will be under `~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/` with the `5da5d714d` suffix. I will continue polling this attached run.

Queue move update: after the previous check, compute01's queue grew to six while dev-02 briefly reported a free slot. I stopped J205's compute01 waiter to follow the queue policy and refreshed both statuses. Dev-02's slot was claimed by another job during that interval; J205 is now attached in the foreground at dev-02 queue position 5. No build has started. I will keep polling this run.

J241 finish (round 2): head 4f6b632df on addhost-startfresh-j241 (base origin/dev efbd863e2)

Six atomic commits. Not merged, not deployed. Production and code untouched (read-only DB reads only).

Red / green (compute01, ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/)

• Red fab.log (fixes reverted, tests kept): F-A, P2, P3 and F-B tests all FAILED. F-B's lock release: green3.log RED section: the failed attempt left its install owned by Some("c8ad…").
• Green green3.log (306128404 = head minus rustfmt only): ssh install 104 passed; 0 failed; server 29 passed; 0 failed; F-C test ok.

End to end on compute01 (logs in ~claude/j241/logs/)

Throwaway server built from the branch, 8d3207cc8 release agent payloads, infraternal username owner, rootless target j241t behind a private sshd (target-only cert trust via SSL_CERT_FILE):

1. Owner's stale-row shape + F-A (e2e-owner-shape-named.*): found an earlier setup that never finished … retired → "step":"done". Terminal (e2e-terminal11.*): {"account":"j241t","requested_account":"j241t","fallback":false}, echo ok → ok (screenshot e2e-terminal11-echo.png), nonce j241-c2f13ef3c639 written to /home/j241t/.j241-proof by j241t.
2. F-B (e2e-fb2-*, fb2-target-state.txt): server with F-B but not F-A fails after commit at the login check. The target is then clean (no unit, launcher or base; service inactive; no "cleanup could not finish"). Retry with the same build gets back to connect with a new host id, no exit 71. Retry with the full branch: "step":"done", service active, owner = new host.
3. F-C (fc-byhand.txt): leftover from a real 8d3207cc8 post-commit failure, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR unset: 8d3207cc8's --bootstrap-uninstall <host> → permission denied, rc=1. Branch binary → infraternal was removed from this machine., rc=0, service inactive.

NetBird SSH wasn't used: it changes only the sign-in method, and J247 showed it reaches the same connect step. The installed agent was 8d3207cc8's release payload because the Nix package is broken on dev (J251). F-C, the only agent-side change, is proven with the branch binary by hand above.

Both failures are the same 6 restart::… / restart_binary::audit_tests::… tests (PermissionDenied) that fail identically on unmodified origin/dev on dev-02 (dev-02:…/logs/restart-ab.log, round 1). Logs: dev-02:~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/{quick2,fast2}.log.

For the orchestrator

1. kayg's re-add of code: production's owner is username='kayg' (comment 80122), so F-A doesn't block it. Before this branch, F-B and F-C were what turned any post-commit failure into a dead end.
2. New, not fixed (separate issue): the server's own console asks for the infraternal username. For a username with no matching account on the server's machine, the open is refused with no_login, and the UI spins forever instead of showing the refusal (frames in e2e-terminal9.out). Also, the palette only learns remote hosts after a Console window has opened.
3. Pre-existing failures worth their own issues: the 6 restart tests on dev-02, and the 4 API-key tests that fail under quick's default-feature invocation on origin/dev.
4. Process slip: while stopping my superseded gate on dev-02 I first sent SIGTERM to a mistyped PID (1061924, then its children). That PID doesn't exist now, and I can't tell whether it existed at that moment. J205's job in the other slot kept running.

Cleanup: throwaway servers stopped; user j241t, its sshd and the temporary /etc/hosts line removed on compute01; target dirs and scratch binaries deleted on both VMs. Logs and harness kept in compute01:~claude/j241/.

J257 (final review of addhost-startfresh-j241 @ 4f6b632df): start

Reviewer job J257. Base origin/dev efbd863e2, six commits. Worktree compute01:~claude/worktrees/j257 (detached at 4f6b632df); logs in compute01:~claude/j257/logs/.

Plan (about 2.5 h, most of it waiting for the build slot):

1. Code review of all six commits; security focus on F-B's lock handoff, F-A's account default and F-C's ownership checks.
2. Red/green of each new test, in one build-slot job (~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j257/run.sh → logs/run.log). Every red reverts only that fix's source.
3. The branch's own release bundle (scripts/package-release + bun run build), so the installed infraternal agent and its --bootstrap-uninstall are the branch's, not 8d3207cc8's.
4. End to end with a throwaway server and a private software passkey: production's stale-row shape plus leftovers on a rootless local account → Start fresh → ready → echo ok; then a forced failure after commit, and a retry that must succeed.

The upstream branch advanced during verification preparation to ddfbb291b (the #338 up-preflight merge). Before any rerun began, I merged it at f23f579bf into the takeover branch and pushed. The branch now contains current origin/dev, and D349's creating-alias marker remains in both recovery allow-lists and runtime cleanup. Quick/CLI/fast are pending on this refreshed head; the earlier Clippy finding is fixed by 7cf1910f3.

J258 start: terminal states (J241's "needs separate issues" items)

Branch terminal-states-j258, base origin/dev ddfbb291b. Not merged, not deployed.

Cause found (code reading, apps/tracer):

1. The refusal frame does arrive ({"error":"terminal unavailable","reason":"no_login"}, J241 e2e-terminal9.out). The window only raised a toast, because the status strip claims a refusal only for a window that asked for a new shell; a window's first open is not that, so it kept its connecting spinner.
2. An offline or never-enrolled host answers unavailable (immediately) or nothing for up to 60 s (server connect timeout). No window state existed for "connecting too long".
3. startHosts() ran only when the first terminal settled, so a canvas with no terminal (or one that never settles) never fetched remote.host.list.

Plan (about 3 h): (a) host list fallback start; (b) refusals become the window's strip with the one action that helps (Try again / Add host / none), denied gets its own sentence; (c) "Can't reach " strip after 10 s, retry re-attaches, clears on connect; (d) Playwright specs on the production build, 1440×900 / 393×852 / 375×667, dark and light, on compute01; (e) a real throwaway server with a refused-login host and an offline host.

Rerun on refreshed head f23f579bf is attached to dev-02 through build-slot, in the foreground at queue position 3. The immediate pre-queue status had six waiting on compute01 and two on dev-02; no slot was free on either. The run uses the same ~/worktrees/J205/target for quick and fast, and will stop before later steps if quick or the focused CLI test fails.

The fresh quick run on f23f579bf entered dev-02 and exited 1 at fmt. The field rename makes the certificate parse chain fit rustfmt's single-line form; scope and migration rows passed. No CLI test or fast gate ran in that attempt. Log: dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/verify-quick-f23f579bf.log. I am applying rustfmt's exact suggested line, then committing and rerunning.

I applied the exact rustfmt layout and pushed 34d6769b5 (style: format archived certificate parsing, #305, D337). The preceding quick attempt on f23f579bf stopped only at fmt before the CLI test or fast gate; its log is dev-02:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/verify-quick-f23f579bf.log. I am updating both VM worktrees and will rerun from 34d6769b5.

I applied the exact rustfmt layout and pushed `34d6769b5` (`style: format archived certificate parsing`, #305, D337).

The corrected head 34d6769b5 is now attached to the dev-02 build-slot queue in the foreground at position 1. The run order remains quick, focused archived-proof CLI test/build, then fast, all against this same head and worktree target. The prior f23f579bf fmt-only run is complete and its slot has been released.

J205 base revalidation update: merged refreshed origin/dev at b2b15527f0c925f680d94c5e0deaa020ffdb0c56 into takeover-proof-305-j205 and pushed merge head 98feb0f8abf87dfc95d4bf587eb5adb1efcf41fb.

The previous verification sequence was still queued first on dev-02 after about 40 minutes; both slots were occupied and no J205 command had acquired a slot. I removed that stale queued entry before updating the branch, so no old-head check was interrupted mid-run. The D349 creating-alias marker remains in both previous_attempt.sh recovery allow-lists and runtime_cleanup.sh.

Please deploy head 98feb0f8abf87dfc95d4bf587eb5adb1efcf41fb to https://test.ssh.kayg.org for the authorized browser flow and four production screenshots (1440×900 and 393×852, dark and light). I am rerunning verification and the real fixture proof against this updated base.

J258 finish: head 2821e9a9e on terminal-states-j258 (merged origin/dev, then 7 atomic commits). Not merged, not deployed.

What changed (all apps/tracer, no server change)

1. Refused login spun forever. The no_login refusal arrived, but the window only raised a toast: its strip claimed a refusal only for a window that had asked for a "new shell". A window's first open now claims its own refusal. Every refusal is the window's state with the one action that helps: no_login/permission → Add host; offline/unreachable/other → Try again; denied (forbidden/denied) and invalid → nothing but Close window.
2. Offline or never-enrolled host waited silently. After 10 s without a connection the window says "Can't reach . It keeps trying in the background." with Try again (re-attaches without dropping the session). It clears by itself on connect. The terminal's own reconnect keeps trying behind it.
3. Palette hosts. The list started only after the first terminal settled. It now also starts 2 s after the canvas is up, once idle. The Console window is no longer needed.

Same strip as ended/exited (no new UI). Server: offline and not-enrolled both arrive as unavailable, so the two share one sentence ("The infraternal agent on X cannot reach the server…"); only the server could tell them apart.

Evidence

• Browser spec apps/tracer/test/terminal-states.spec.ts, production build, compute01: 18 passed (4.1m), 1440×900 / 393×852 / 375×667 × ink / paper. Log compute01:~claude/j258/logs/spec3.log. It also measures every strip: parts inside the strip, sentence not clipped, one centre line (±0.5 px), strip inside its window. The palette check requires the host list to be read before the 10 s state (bug 3).
• The first run's screenshot showed the can't-reach sentence clipped with the buttons out of view (my bounds check was too weak, and the CSS wrapped only refusals). Fixed in 63b5cb77f; the later screenshots below are from the fixed run.
• Real server (release binary from a dev build, rootless user, username with no account): real/rootless-refusal.spec.ts updated to expect the window state: 2 passed at desktop and phone (compute01:~claude/j258/logs/real1.log, screenshots window-desktop.png, window-phone.png).
• Not done: a real enrolled host that is offline. The offline/can't-reach states are proven against the test double scripted with the server's own refusal frames (shape from J241's e2e-terminal9.out), not an enrolled real agent. Say if you want that as a follow-up.
• Unit: open-refusal.test.ts 6 pass; tracer typecheck clean.

scripts/verify quick (compute01, 2821e9a9e): all PASS (~claude/j258/logs/quick.log)

scope guard, migration names, Nix Cargo vendoring, fmt, doc coverage ratchet, shape lints off, doc comments on diff, fixed test waits, ui literals, tracer typecheck: PASS.

I did not rerun it on a clean origin/dev, so this is not proven by me. CLI plugin compile-out: FAIL (1), likewise unchanged code, not investigated.

Binary size: static builds row PASS. No Rust changed.

For the orchestrator

• Fixes can be reviewed from the screenshots below; I have not judged them as final.
• Commit history keeps two small fixups (f3f69f2e7, 63b5cb77f) rather than a rewrite.

J257 verdict on addhost-startfresh-j241 @ 4f6b632df: REQUEST CHANGES (one P2 and one merge-blocking P3, both one-line fixes; security review clean; end to end passes)

Bottom line: the owner's exact path works on this head, built from the branch's own release bundle (server, infraternal agent payloads and web; SOURCE 4f6b632df). Production's stale-row shape plus leftovers → Start fresh → ready → echo ok in a terminal. A forced failure after commit leaves the host clean, and the retry finishes. I found no way for F-B, F-A or F-C to touch an install that isn't this attempt's, or to grant an account the person couldn't already open. Two things need fixing before the merge:

• P2: F-A also changes the default login on rootful hosts (owner decision, see below).
• P3: the new test's allow(clippy::too_many_lines) fails D351's shape lint once merged with dev.

Once those two lines change, a diff check is enough. Nothing else needs re-running.

Findings

P2. F-A moves every rootful host's default login to the SSH account it was added with. crates/infraternal-server/src/preferred_accounts.rs:92 (.or(added_as))

• F-A needed only step 2, the rootless rule at :90. Step 4 also changes rootful hosts that have no explicit preference: the default was the infraternal username, and is now the SSH account in the add-host address.
• A host added as root@db that has a kayg account now opens as root instead of kayg. This applies to existing hosts too, from the first terminal opened after deploy.
• That goes against D336: "I wouldnt want to login as root all the time". Nothing on #305 asked for this change.
• Not a security issue. A root infraternal agent already falls back to root for a person with no matching account, and the owner holds that SSH account anyway.
• Fix: drop .or(added_as) so rootful keeps the old default, and update the rootful assertions in preferred_accounts_tests.rs (the "admin" case). Or bring it to the owner as a question.

P3 (merge blocker). D351 shape lint. crates/plugins/ssh/tests/install.rs:3898-3901 adds #[allow(clippy::too_many_lines, …)].

• The branch is based on efbd863e2, which predates D351 (32a2f7046). The branch merges cleanly, but on the merge result scripts/test-shape-lints.py::test_no_local_exceptions fails.
• Fix: delete the attribute (the lint is off workspace-wide).

P3. F-B leaves the same dead end for a Re-enroll that fails after commit. crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:931 (resources.set_aside.is_none())

• Commit runs retire_set_aside (install.rs:1130, 1178), so after the commit nothing is set aside any more. A Re-enroll has a new host id, which the server revokes on failure. Its install stays with .bootstrap-owner set to that revoked id, and the next add exits 71, the dead end F-B fixed for fresh installs.
• Leaving out Replace is right: it keeps the same host id.
• Suggested: gate on "committed and not a Replace" rather than "no set-aside". uninstall_committed already refuses anything not owned by this attempt's id. The path is rare now that F-A removes the common cause, so this can wait for a follow-up.

P3. F-C's test asserts nothing on a machine without /run/user/<uid>. crates/plugins/remote/src/uninstall.rs:673: the positive assertions sit inside if <own runtime dir exists>. On compute01 the directory exists and the red run fails as it should (below). In a CI sandbox with no user session the test passes without asserting anything. A temp-dir-parameterised helper would make it unconditional.

P3. P2's test calls finish_setup_record directly. The call site in completed() (bootstrap_remote.rs:1054) is covered only by reading. That's acceptable: the call is one line.

Security review

F-B: lock release and handoff (install.rs:1214-1229)

• Every check runs under the setup flock: .bootstrap-owner is a regular file equal to $host (the attempt's own id, from self.host, never from the request), no .bootstrap-lock exists, and bin/live is a regular executable. Only then is fd 9 closed and the uninstall exec'd.
• The uninstall takes the same flock again (uninstall.rs:570) and rechecks everything under it (validate, :571 → validate_artifacts): owner equals host, no .bootstrap-lock, the unit carries # infraternal bootstrap <host> and the exact ExecStart, and launcher → bin/current → bin/live.
• Another add that gets in during the gap either holds the lock, so the uninstall waits up to 5 s and then refuses, or creates .bootstrap-lock, which also makes it refuse. If that add publishes, the owner changes and the uninstall refuses again. A different owner or server can't match: the comparison is the exact host UUID.
• Only processes of the same account can race the gap, and they are already inside that account's trust boundary.
• Root mode follows the same logic under sudo, with a root-owned base.
• A mismatch exits 0, so cleanup counts as done. That's correct: nothing of ours is left.

F-A: can a default grant an account the person isn't granted? No.

• added_as is read only for h.owner_id = person (preferred_accounts.rs:78). A non-owner who has been granted the host never inherits the owner's SSH account.
• A rootless infraternal agent still refuses any other account (infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:79-88).
• A root infraternal agent already falls back to root for a person with no account.
• The address was validated at add time, and logins::account validates the name again before use.

F-C: does the uninstall still refuse what it can't prove is ours? Yes.

• validate is unchanged.
• The fallback runtime directory is used only when XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is unset or empty, and only if /run/user/<uid> is a real directory (checked with symlink_metadata) owned by that uid.
• Proven live: see the by-hand run below.

P2 and the three P3s from J247: correct.

• Denied is tolerated only for a Replace.
• The check before confirmation retires nothing.
• tombstoned on Denied releases a fence that previously stayed held until restart. If the intent was consumed by a concurrent completion, that host is live, so releasing the fence is the better outcome.
• actor().is_some() is strictly more conservative than online().

Red / green (compute01; every red reverts only that fix's source)

test	green on head	red without its fix
F-A a_rootless_host_with_no_preference…	ok	FAILED preferred_accounts_tests.rs:282 (preferred_accounts.rs at efbd863e2)
P2 a_completed_replace_marks_an_unfinished_host_finished	ok	FAILED :2285 "the replaced host still reads as unfinished" (old rule: Replace skips the intent)
P3 the_check_before_confirmation_never_retires…	ok	FAILED :2262 !revoked (if !retire removed)
F-B a_failure_after_commit_removes_its_install_so_the_retry_finishes	ok	FAILED install.rs:4036 "left its install owned by Some(…)": once with ssh src at ce32c3510, once with only the exec 9<&- handoff removed
F-C a_login_without_a_user_session…	ok (13/13 uninstall tests)	FAILED uninstall.rs:675 left: None right: Some("/run/user/1500")

The two round-1 tests stay green throughout. Logs:

• compute01:~claude/j257/logs/run.log: server reds and greens.
• red2.log: F-B. My first F-B runs in run.log are void, because they ran without the recovery-helper example the fixture needs (tests/common/mod.rs:158).
• fc-redgreen.log: F-C.

Per the brief, I didn't run verify fast or quick. I read J241's gate output in 80398.

End to end (compute01, logs in ~claude/j257/logs/)

• Throwaway server from scripts/package-release + bun run build of 4f6b632df, binary sha256 af304a0863f2f949…. Data in ~/j257/data, private software passkey under ~/j257/private.
• Infraternal username owner; the target is the rootless account j257t (not the same name, so F-A is exercised).
• The target sits behind a private sshd (UsePAM no, so no user session; XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is passed to the add's session, as pam_systemd would, and unset for the by-hand test).
• Address j257t@j257-target:2257.

Step 1: production's shape, then Start fresh (e2e-2-leftovers.txt, e2e-3-shape.txt, e2e-4-startfresh.txt)

• Leftovers: an add interrupted by SIGKILL of the server mid-install left .bootstrap-lock (journal) and .bootstrap-owner = 45e23326… on j257t, with no unit and the service inactive.
• DB (J241's inject.py): the leftover's host row was deleted, and ghost 15cc2896 added for the same address: not revoked, with an open intent, a certificate and an open terminal-session row.
• Add host:

  check  "This host has leftovers from an earlier setup" (stale_previous_attempt) → start-fresh
  check  "Earlier setup leftovers removed. Continuing the setup steps."
  install → facts → connect → done "The infraternal agent is ready."  (2538 ms, host 66dbd9a2)
  server: host provisioning found an earlier setup that never finished host_id=15cc2896… outcome="retired"
  

Step 2: terminal (e2e-5-terminal.txt, .out, screenshot attached)
{"account":"j257t","fallback":false,"requested_account":"j257t"}. echo ok → ok, and nonce j257-71dce5ba09dd was written to /home/j257t/.j257-proof, owned by j257t.

Step 3: failure after commit, then retry (e2e-6-remove.txt, e2e-7-failafter.txt, e2e-7b-server-lines.txt, e2e-8-retry.txt, e2e-9-terminal2.txt)

• Host removed through the UI's remove calls.
• To force the failure, a throwaway-DB trigger gives every new host an explicit login for an account that doesn't exist on the target. The binaries are unchanged.

  install (host afc29852) → facts → connect → failed "The host connected, but its preferred account login could not open."
  server: host bootstrap failed host_id=afc29852… step="terminal"
  target after: owner none, lock absent, launcher none, unit absent, service inactive. No "cleanup could not finish" (0 hits).
  retry (trigger dropped): check → install (host 2811a773) → facts → connect → done (1755 ms), no exit 71. Service active, owner = 2811a773.
  terminal: account j257t, `ok`, nonce j257-d4eb96accaca written by j257t (screenshot attached)
  

F-C by hand (e2e-fc-byhand.txt): on a live branch install, as j257t, with XDG_RUNTIME_DIR unset:

• wrong host id → infraternal was not removed: permission denied…, rc=1; the service stays active and the owner is unchanged;
• own host id → infraternal was removed from this machine., rc=0; service inactive, unit, launcher and base removed.

Found along the way (pre-existing, not in this diff: separate issues recommended)

1. Leftovers from an install interrupted after activation: every add says "Setup is already running" forever, and no Start fresh is offered.
   • Where: crates/plugins/ssh/src/previous_attempt.sh:343-357 (not_live → scan_holders all → [ -z "$live" ] || exit 73).
   • Seen (e2e-4a-startfresh-73.txt, e2e-4b-exit73-target-state.txt, run-exit73/): the kill landed after activation, leaving the journal plus a running infraternal agent for a host the server doesn't know. That agent retries with PermissionDenied indefinitely, and systemd keeps it alive.
   • Two adds, two minutes apart, both got setup_running, exit 73, with no leftovers prompt.
   • If code's leftovers have that shape, the owner hits this instead of Start fresh. D337's "not actually working → allow takeover" suggests an agent that can't reach any server should count as not live.
2. Web: with no window in Console, remote hosts never load, so the palette and Console say "No hosts yet".
   • Where: apps/tracer/src/canvas/product.ts:125,312. The host list starts only after the first terminal settles.
   • Workaround in my driver: open a window with "+" first.
   • Same family as J241's item 2 (the local console spins on no_login).

Cleanup

• Throwaway server stopped, and three orphaned ssh clients from the SIGKILLed servers killed by PID.
• Infraternal agent uninstalled; user j257t and its home removed, linger disabled; private sshd stopped and /root/j257 removed; the temporary /etc/hosts line removed.
• VM worktrees j257 and j257-red removed; target dir (16 GB), bundle, server data and private keys deleted.
• Logs and harness kept in compute01:~claude/j257/. Production and the test server weren't touched.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES: the P2 (rootful default, preferred_accounts.rs:92) and the D351 lint (tests/install.rs:3898). Everything else is approved, including the security of F-B, F-A and F-C.

## J257 verdict on `addhost-startfresh-j241` @ `4f6b632df`: REQUEST CHANGES (one P2 and one merge-blocking P3, both one-line fixes; security review clean; end to end passes) **Bottom line:** the owner's exact path works on this head, built from the branch's own release bundle (server, infraternal agent payloads and web; SOURCE `4f6b632df`). Production's stale-row shape plus leftovers → Start fresh → ready → `echo ok` in a terminal. A forced failure after commit leaves the host clean, and the retry finishes. I found no way for F-B, F-A or F-C to touch an install that isn't this attempt's, or to grant an account the person couldn't already open. Two things need fixing before the merge: - **P2:** F-A also changes the default login on **rootful** hosts (owner decision, see below). - **P3:** the new test's `allow(clippy::too_many_lines)` fails D351's shape lint once merged with dev. Once those two lines change, a diff check is enough. Nothing else needs re-running. ### Findings **P2. F-A moves every rootful host's default login to the SSH account it was added with.** `crates/infraternal-server/src/preferred_accounts.rs:92` (`.or(added_as)`) - F-A needed only step 2, the rootless rule at `:90`. Step 4 also changes rootful hosts that have no explicit preference: the default was the infraternal username, and is now the SSH account in the add-host address. - A host added as `root@db` that has a `kayg` account now opens as **root** instead of `kayg`. This applies to existing hosts too, from the first terminal opened after deploy. - That goes against D336: "I wouldnt want to login as root all the time". Nothing on #305 asked for this change. - Not a security issue. A root infraternal agent already falls back to root for a person with no matching account, and the owner holds that SSH account anyway. - **Fix:** drop `.or(added_as)` so rootful keeps the old default, and update the rootful assertions in `preferred_accounts_tests.rs` (the `"admin"` case). Or bring it to the owner as a question. **P3 (merge blocker). D351 shape lint.** `crates/plugins/ssh/tests/install.rs:3898-3901` adds `#[allow(clippy::too_many_lines, …)]`. - The branch is based on `efbd863e2`, which predates D351 (`32a2f7046`). The branch merges cleanly, but on the merge result `scripts/test-shape-lints.py::test_no_local_exceptions` fails. - **Fix:** delete the attribute (the lint is off workspace-wide). **P3. F-B leaves the same dead end for a Re-enroll that fails after commit.** `crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:931` (`resources.set_aside.is_none()`) - Commit runs `retire_set_aside` (`install.rs:1130`, `1178`), so after the commit nothing is set aside any more. A Re-enroll has a **new** host id, which the server revokes on failure. Its install stays with `.bootstrap-owner` set to that revoked id, and the next add exits 71, the dead end F-B fixed for fresh installs. - Leaving out Replace is right: it keeps the same host id. - **Suggested:** gate on "committed and not a Replace" rather than "no set-aside". `uninstall_committed` already refuses anything not owned by this attempt's id. The path is rare now that F-A removes the common cause, so this can wait for a follow-up. **P3. F-C's test asserts nothing on a machine without `/run/user/<uid>`.** `crates/plugins/remote/src/uninstall.rs:673`: the positive assertions sit inside `if <own runtime dir exists>`. On compute01 the directory exists and the red run fails as it should (below). In a CI sandbox with no user session the test passes without asserting anything. A temp-dir-parameterised helper would make it unconditional. **P3. P2's test calls `finish_setup_record` directly.** The call site in `completed()` (`bootstrap_remote.rs:1054`) is covered only by reading. That's acceptable: the call is one line. ### Security review **F-B: lock release and handoff** (`install.rs:1214-1229`) - Every check runs under the setup flock: `.bootstrap-owner` is a regular file equal to `$host` (the attempt's own id, from `self.host`, never from the request), no `.bootstrap-lock` exists, and `bin/live` is a regular executable. Only then is fd 9 closed and the uninstall exec'd. - The uninstall takes the same flock again (`uninstall.rs:570`) and rechecks everything under it (`validate`, `:571` → `validate_artifacts`): owner equals host, no `.bootstrap-lock`, the unit carries `# infraternal bootstrap <host>` and the exact ExecStart, and launcher → `bin/current` → `bin/live`. - Another add that gets in during the gap either holds the lock, so the uninstall waits up to 5 s and then refuses, or creates `.bootstrap-lock`, which also makes it refuse. If that add publishes, the owner changes and the uninstall refuses again. A different owner or server can't match: the comparison is the exact host UUID. - Only processes of the same account can race the gap, and they are already inside that account's trust boundary. - Root mode follows the same logic under `sudo`, with a root-owned base. - A mismatch exits 0, so cleanup counts as done. That's correct: nothing of ours is left. **F-A: can a default grant an account the person isn't granted?** No. - `added_as` is read only for `h.owner_id = person` (`preferred_accounts.rs:78`). A non-owner who has been granted the host never inherits the owner's SSH account. - A rootless infraternal agent still refuses any other account (`infraternal-agent/src/logins.rs:79-88`). - A root infraternal agent already falls back to root for a person with no account. - The address was validated at add time, and `logins::account` validates the name again before use. **F-C: does the uninstall still refuse what it can't prove is ours?** Yes. - `validate` is unchanged. - The fallback runtime directory is used only when `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is unset or empty, and only if `/run/user/<uid>` is a real directory (checked with `symlink_metadata`) owned by that uid. - Proven live: see the by-hand run below. **P2 and the three P3s from J247:** correct. - `Denied` is tolerated only for a Replace. - The check before confirmation retires nothing. - `tombstoned` on `Denied` releases a fence that previously stayed held until restart. If the intent was consumed by a concurrent completion, that host is live, so releasing the fence is the better outcome. - `actor().is_some()` is strictly more conservative than `online()`. ### Red / green (compute01; every red reverts only that fix's source) | test | green on head | red without its fix | |---|---|---| | F-A `a_rootless_host_with_no_preference…` | ok | FAILED `preferred_accounts_tests.rs:282` (preferred_accounts.rs at efbd863e2) | | P2 `a_completed_replace_marks_an_unfinished_host_finished` | ok | FAILED `:2285` "the replaced host still reads as unfinished" (old rule: Replace skips the intent) | | P3 `the_check_before_confirmation_never_retires…` | ok | FAILED `:2262` `!revoked` (`if !retire` removed) | | F-B `a_failure_after_commit_removes_its_install_so_the_retry_finishes` | ok | FAILED `install.rs:4036` "left its install owned by Some(…)": once with ssh src at ce32c3510, once with **only** the `exec 9<&-` handoff removed | | F-C `a_login_without_a_user_session…` | ok (13/13 uninstall tests) | FAILED `uninstall.rs:675` `left: None right: Some("/run/user/1500")` | The two round-1 tests stay green throughout. Logs: - `compute01:~claude/j257/logs/run.log`: server reds and greens. - `red2.log`: F-B. My first F-B runs in `run.log` are void, because they ran without the `recovery-helper` example the fixture needs (`tests/common/mod.rs:158`). - `fc-redgreen.log`: F-C. Per the brief, I didn't run `verify fast` or `quick`.

J263 review of terminal-states-j258 @ 2821e9a9e (apps/tracer only): REQUEST CHANGES

The behaviour is right: no_login → Add host, offline → Try again, denied → Close only, and the toast no longer duplicates the window. But five things need a small change first (the first one is a regression).

What I ran (compute01, production build, build-slot; my own worktree ~/worktrees/j263 at 2821e9a9e)

• terminal-states.spec.ts: 18 passed (1440×900, 393×852, 375×667 × ink/paper). My probe spec (not committed): 9 passed, 3 skipped by design. Log compute01:~claude/j263/logs/spec.log (27 passed (6.5m), exit=0).
• real/rootless-refusal.spec.ts: 2 passed (desktop, phone), compute01:~claude/j263/logs/real.log. Caveat: the server binary is the j257 bundle (4f6b632df), not built from this branch. The diff is tracer-only, and the spec serves this branch's own dist, so the web side is the branch.
• My screenshots: compute01:~claude/j263/evidence/{terminal-states,j263}/, evidence-real/. I looked at 1440×900 and 393×852, ink and paper. I did not look at the 375×667 images (the spec's measurements pass). I did not run verify, per the reviewer rule.

Findings

1. Regression: low memory loses its only way forward. The first open on a window with no session now goes to the window (refused() returns true before the toast), and memory_low has action: "none". The old toast carried a "Sessions" button (sessionList); the window ignores sessionList. Probe memory-low-*.json, all four size/theme runs: text "…is low on memory (212 MiB free, 9 sessions running). Close sessions you no longer need.", buttons: ["Close window"], toasts: []. The copy tells people to close sessions and gives them no way to. Fix: when sessionList is true, the strip's one action opens the session manager ("Sessions"), as the toast did.
2. Copy: "offline" is the jargon one. "The infraternal agent on offline-host cannot reach the server. Check that outbound TCP 443 is allowed from offline-host." breaks TASTE row 124 (no API/network nouns; technical detail only where it helps an expert choose). It is also the longest strip: 5 lines at 1440, 9 lines at 393, text column about 13 characters wide (offline-393x852-paper.png). Suggest: "offline-host is offline or cannot reach this server. Check its network, then try again." Keep the port detail for the docs or a tooltip. "Vocabulary" is fine ("infraternal agent" is used correctly).
3. One label, two icons. "Try again" has a "+" icon on the refusal strip (offline, offline-1440x900-ink.png) and the retry arc on the can't-reach strip (cannot-reach-1440x900-ink.png). TASTE row 102 (one behaviour, one component). Use the arc on both ("+" means add).
4. Can't-reach reads as a failure, but the sentence says it is still trying. It uses the red ✕ mark, and the window indicator flips to the slashed "offline" ring: probe status-during=offline in all 4 runs. The truthful state is "reconnecting" (the arc). TASTE row 89: the state is an icon with motion. Suggest a neutral/arc mark for this strip and leaving the indicator on reconnecting. Related, minor: the caret sits blinking behind the strip (cannot-reach-1440x900-ink.png, cannot-reach-393x852-ink.png; TASTE row 147).
5. The notice leaves with a cut, not a fade. It enters with a 200 ms fade, but on connect paint() does strip?.remove() at once. Probe timeline (slow-timeline-*.json, all 4 runs): one added, one removed, nothing between. Result: a host that connects at 10–11 s sees the notice for a moment and then it vanishes abruptly (a flash). TASTE rows 106 and 183: every state change moves. Fix: an exit fade of about 200 ms (the host list must not wait on it). If you also want to avoid the brief appearance, hold it back until about 10.5 s or give it a minimum visible time; I leave that to you.

The 10 s threshold

• Reasonable. A host that answers at about 9 s never shows the notice: FAST [] (no strip ever added, then 3 s extra wait), 1440 ink, spec.log.
• A host that answers at about 11 s clears the notice, the window goes live, no toast: status-during=offline, toasts=[], strip count 0 and data-status=live afterwards. Correct, but see finding 5 for how it clears.

What passes

• Toast does not duplicate the window state: toasts=[] in every probe, and the spec asserts no "runs without root" toast. Add host opens the Add hosts dialog.
• Alignment: parts share one centre line, nothing clipped, strip inside its window, in both themes and at all three sizes. Both themes have readable contrast; the button is the shared primary pill.
• Built from the existing strip, pill, mark and cl-sx-* buttons; the CSS change only widens an existing rule. No new one-offs.
• Palette: the host list is read before the 10 s state.

Not covered

A real enrolled-but-offline host (same as J258's note). Not run by me.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES (findings 1–5; 1 is the one that must not merge as is).

If you also want to avoid the brief appearance, hold it back until about 10.5 s or give it a minimum visible time; I leave that to you. ### The 10 s threshold - Reasonable. A host that answers at about 9 s never shows the notice: `FAST []` (no strip ever added, then 3 s extra wait), 1440 ink, `spec.log`. - A host that answers at about 11 s clears the notice, the window goes live, no toast: `status-during=offline`, `toasts=[]`, strip count 0 and `data-status=live` afterwards. Correct, but see finding 5 for how it clears. ### What passes - Toast does not duplicate the window state: `toasts=[]` in every probe, and the spec asserts no "runs without root" toast. Add host opens the Add hosts dialog. - Alignment: parts share one centre line, nothing clipped, strip inside its window, in both themes and at all three sizes. Both themes have readable contrast; the button is the shared primary pill. - Built from the existing strip, pill, mark and `cl-sx-*` buttons; the CSS change only widens an existing rule. No new one-offs. - Palette: the host list is read before the 10 s state. ### Not covered A real enrolled-but-offline host (same as J258's note). Not run by me. Verdict: **REQUEST CHANGES** (findings 1–5; 1 is the one that must not merge as is).

Queue update for the follow-up test on 98feb0f8abf87dfc95d4bf587eb5adb1efcf41fb: the action-envelope integration test is first in dev-02's build-slot queue and has waited about 20 minutes. The current slot 1 job has run about 28 minutes; slot 2 is held by the shared fuzz runner. No slot is free on either VM without older queued work, so I am keeping the test attached in the foreground.

J258 round 2: head 9dda9b3af on terminal-states-j258 (answers J263, comment 80558). Not merged, not deployed.

Five findings, one commit each, plus one commit for the specs:

#	commit	change
1	f7a6feaff	Regression fixed. A low-memory refusal's one action is Sessions: it opens that host's session list through the window's own manager (the call the old toast's button made). The spec has a new low-memory scene that clicks it.
2	4a3f1f222	Plain copy: " is offline or cannot reach this server. Check its network, then try again." Under 30 rem the strip is a grid: mark, sentence and close on the first row, the one action under the sentence on its left edge. The sentence now gets over half the strip's width (393 px: 4 lines, was 9).
3	45edd6a10	One icon: "Try again" wears the retry arc on both strips (SESSION_ICON.again, already used by "Run again"; packages/ui has no retry glyph, so I used the shared tracer icon set). "+" stays on "Add host". Spec compares both.
4	70cad93fd	Waiting, not failing: can't-reach uses the shared turning arc mark (busy), the window keeps its connecting status and indicator (only a refusal reads offline), and the terminal screen behind the notice is hidden so no caret blinks.
5	c262f651b	Fade out: the strip fades over the same 200 ms as its entrance (reduced motion: removed at once), is inert while leaving, and the screen returns as the fade starts. The spec samples per frame and requires an in-between opacity. I did not add a hold-back to ~10.5 s: the 10 s wait is the design, and a notice that clears is the honest report of a slow host. Say if you want a minimum visible time.
-	9dda9b3af	ended-strip.spec expected the old TCP 443 sentence (updated). My "list read within 10 s of load" assertion was a wall-clock bound and failed once under load (10.4 s) on the first run; it also did not exercise the fallback (the refusal settles the terminal). It is now an order check in the never-answers scene: the list is read while the window is still only connecting.

Evidence

• terminal-states.spec.ts + ended-strip.spec.ts + dead-session.spec.ts, production build, compute01: 35 passed (8.6m). Log compute01:~claude/j258/logs/r3-spec.log. (A first run of this round, r2-spec.log, had 2 failures, both fixed in 9dda9b3af: the stale copy above and the wall-clock bound.)
• real/rootless-refusal.spec.ts (real server binary from a dev build, rootless user): 2 passed, ~claude/j258/logs/r3-real.log.
• scripts/verify quick on 9dda9b3af: all PASS (scope guard, migration names, Nix Cargo vendoring, fmt, doc coverage, shape lints, doc comments on diff, fixed test waits, ui literals, tracer typecheck), ~claude/j258/logs/quick2.log.
• scripts/verify fast not rerun this round: no Rust changed since the round-1 run (~claude/j258/logs/fast.log: all rows PASS except the two failures already reported, CLI plugin compile-out and test/restart::recovery_tests::oversized_debug_image_does_not_limit_restart_fixtures, still not proven on clean dev by me).
• Screenshots below: 1440×900 and 393×852, ink and paper: refused-login, denied, offline, low-memory, cannot-reach, cannot-reach-recovered, plus the two real-server captures (window-desktop.png, window-phone.png). I looked at offline-393x852-paper and cannot-reach-393x852-ink; the rest I have not judged.
• Still not covered: a real enrolled-but-offline host.

J205 quick finding on d7f401893: the foreground scripts/verify quick run on compute01 passed scope guard, migration names, and Nix Cargo vendoring, then stopped at fmt before tests because the new stderr assertion in crates/infraternal/tests/takeover_proof_cli.rs needs rustfmt line breaks. Full evidence: compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/verify-quick-d7f401893-json-envelope.log. I am applying that exact formatting and rerunning quick on the same target.

J268 review of terminal-states-j258 @ 9dda9b3af (apps/tracer only): APPROVE

All five of J263's findings are fixed and I found nothing that blocks a merge. Four small notes are listed at the end; none needs a change before merge.

What I ran (compute01, production build, build-slot, my own worktree ~/worktrees/j268 at 9dda9b3af)

• terminal-states.spec.ts + ended-strip.spec.ts + dead-session.spec.ts, --workers=2: 28 passed, 7 failed (~claude/j268/logs/spec.log, attached as j268-spec-workers2.log). All 7 failures were in dead-session (6) and ended-strip (1), and every one was the first load of the page showing the sign-in card (#terminal-screen never became data-connected; the .cl-sx-strip never appeared). The mock server's sign-in state was shared by two workers on a loaded host (load average ~13).
• The same two files rerun alone with --workers=1: 11 passed (~claude/j268/logs/rerun.log, attached as j268-rerun-workers1.log). So all 35 tests pass. The 24 terminal-states tests passed in the first run too (3 sizes × 2 themes × 4 scenes).
• I did not run these seven on origin/dev, so I can't say whether the shared-state flake predates this branch. J258's own run (35 passed, r3-spec.log) used the default worker count. If the orchestrator's merge gate sees the same sign-in-card failures, rerun those two files alone before blaming this branch.
• A throwaway probe spec (deleted afterwards, not committed) that adds a screenshot after the "Sessions" click and samples the strip's opacity every frame, at all 3 sizes × ink/paper: 12 passed (~claude/j268/logs/probe.log, attached as j268-probe.log). A second run under prefers-reduced-motion (J268_REDUCED=1).
• I did not run verify fast or verify quick, per the reviewer rule. I read J258's quick output instead.
• I did not run real/rootless-refusal.spec.ts; I looked at J258's two real-server captures only.

The five findings, judged against TASTE

1. Low-memory refusal — FIXED. The strip's one action is "Sessions" (the shared stack glyph) at all 3 sizes. Clicking it opens the host's session manager inside the window: .cl-sx-pop visible at 1440 (x=772, y=113), 393 (x=31, y=119, w=331) and 375 (w=313). It sits below the window header, inside the window, and does not cover the strip's own text. Screenshots: j268-sessions-open-*.png.
2. Offline copy — FIXED. "offline-host is offline or cannot reach this server. Check its network, then try again." No port, no "TCP", no "agent" (TASTE row 257, plain words). At 393 it is 4 lines (was 9); at 375 also 4 lines. The mark, sentence and close share the first row, and "Try again" sits under the sentence on the sentence's left edge. Readable at 393 and 375, ink and paper.
3. One retry icon — FIXED, and the reuse is acceptable. Both "Try again" buttons use SESSION_ICON.again, and the spec asserts the same path d on both. packages/ui/src/icons.ts (ICONS) has only search, views, previous, next and host. It has no retry glyph, and "+" for Add host is also a tracer-level icon (ICON.plus). SESSION_ICON is the tracer's own shared set for every session control and "Run again" already uses it, so this is reuse, not a new one-off. Moving the retry arc into packages/ui is worth a follow-up only when a second app needs it; I would not hold this merge for it.
4. Can't-reach reads as waiting — FIXED. The strip uses the turning arc (data-mark="busy") instead of the red ✕, and the window keeps data-status="connecting" with the turning indicator in its pill (cannot-reach-393x852-ink.png). The terminal host is visibility:hidden behind the strip, so no caret blinks (J258's cannot-reach-1440x900-*.png and my cannot-reach-375x667-*.png). After "Try again" the window goes live and the strip is gone (cannot-reach-recovered-*.png). Only a refusal shows the slashed offline indicator.
5. Fade-out — FIXED. Per-frame samples at all 3 sizes: opacity falls 1 → 0.87 → 0.74 → 0.62 → … → 0.01 and the strip is removed after about 190–210 ms, in data-leaving state (inert, and the Enter shortcut ignores it). With reduced motion on, the probe saw zero in-between frames and the strip was removed at once, as intended.
   • Minimum visible time: I agree with J258, don't add one. A hold-back would delay a host that has just come live, and TASTE row 195 says animation never gets in the way of work. The strip only appears after 10 s of waiting, so a brief appearance is true information, and the 200 ms fade removes the flash J263 saw.

Every screenshot looked at

All 26 of J258's (1440×900 and 393×852, ink and paper, plus the two real-server captures), and my 36 terminal-states captures at 1440, 393 and 375. I opened the 375×667 captures for offline, low-memory, can't-reach and refused-login and checked their 393 siblings; I did not open the other 375 files one by one. At 375×667 the strips are inside the window with equal insets, the mark and close are centred on the first line, and the button is the shared primary pill.

Notes (none blocking)

• sessions.css ~L99–107: the new comment "A window that cannot be reached hides its screen too…" sits above the ended rule, and the older comment a few lines below still says "The unreachable window keeps its last screen visible behind the strip", which is now false. Move the new comment and fix the old one (D345).
• cannot-reach-1440x900-paper.png (and -ink): the strip's busy mark is a very faint hollow ring next to the dark primary button. The turning indicator in the window's pill carries the motion, so it reads, but the ring is the weakest-contrast mark on any strip.
• offline-1440x900-{ink,paper}.png: the strip is capped at 26.25 rem, so the sentence wraps to 4 lines with "again." alone on the last line. Cosmetic.
• window-desktop.png, window-phone.png (real rootless server): two toasts stack, "Not saved — keep this tab open" and "Your layout is waiting for the server. Keep this tab open.". On desktop the second is wider than the window and covers its bottom edge. This comes from layout saving on a rootless server, not from this branch, but it duplicates one message and I'd file it separately. Also, in the test double the Sessions popover says "No other sessions on busy-host", because the double has none; a populated list was not exercised.

Not covered

A real enrolled-but-offline host (same as J258 and J263); the real-server spec.

Verdict: APPROVE (not merged).

Screenshots: `j268-sessions-open-*.png`. 2. **Offline copy — FIXED.** "offline-host is offline or cannot reach this server. Check its network, then try again." No port, no "TCP", no "agent" (TASTE row 257, plain words). At 393 it is 4 lines (was 9); at 375 also 4 lines. The mark, sentence and close share the first row, and "Try again" sits under the sentence on the sentence's left edge. Readable at 393 and 375, ink and paper. 3. **One retry icon — FIXED, and the reuse is acceptable.** Both "Try again" buttons use `SESSION_ICON.again`, and the spec asserts the same path `d` on both. `packages/ui/src/icons.ts` (`ICONS`) has only search, views, previous, next and host. It has no retry glyph, and "+" for Add host is also a tracer-level icon (`ICON.plus`). `SESSION_ICON` is the tracer's own shared set for every session control and "Run again" already uses it, so this is reuse, not a new one-off. Moving the retry arc into `packages/ui` is worth a follow-up only when a second app needs it; I would not hold this merge for it. 4. **Can't-reach reads as waiting — FIXED.** The strip uses the turning arc (`data-mark="busy"`) instead of the red ✕, and the window keeps `data-status="connecting"` with the turning indicator in its pill (`cannot-reach-393x852-ink.png`). The terminal host is `visibility:hidden` behind the strip, so no caret blinks (J258's `cannot-reach-1440x900-*.png` and my `cannot-reach-375x667-*.png`). After "Try again" the window goes live and the strip is gone (`cannot-reach-recovered-*.png`). Only a refusal shows the slashed offline indicator. 5. **Fade-out — FIXED.** Per-frame samples at all 3 sizes: opacity falls 1 → 0.87 → 0.74 → 0.62 → … → 0.01 and the strip is removed after **about 190–210 ms**, in `data-leaving` state (inert, and the Enter shortcut ignores it). With reduced motion on, the probe saw **zero** in-between frames and the strip was removed at once, as intended. - **Minimum visible time: I agree with J258, don't add one.** A hold-back would delay a host that has just come live, and TASTE row 195 says animation never gets in the way of work. The strip only appears after 10 s of waiting, so a brief appearance is true information, and the 200 ms fade removes the flash J263 saw. ### Every screenshot looked at All 26 of J258's (1440×900 and 393×852, ink and paper, plus the two real-server captures), and my 36 `terminal-states` captures at 1440, 393 and 375. I opened the 375×667 captures for offline, low-memory, can't-reach and refused-login and checked their 393 siblings; I did not open the other 375 files one by one. At 375×667 the strips are inside the window with equal insets, the mark and close are centred on the first line, and the button is the shared primary pill. ### Notes (none blocking) - `sessions.css` ~L99–107: the new comment "A window that cannot be reached hides its screen too…" sits above the *ended* rule, and the older comment a few lines below still says "The unreachable window keeps its last screen visible behind the strip", which is now false. Move the new comment and fix the old one (D345). - `cannot-reach-1440x900-paper.png` (and `-ink`): the strip's busy mark is a very faint hollow ring next to the dark primary button. The turning indicator in the window's pill carries the motion, so it reads, but the ring is the weakest-contrast mark on any strip. - `offline-1440x900-{ink,paper}.png`: the strip is capped at 26.25 rem, so the sentence wraps to 4 lines with "again." alone on the last line. Cosmetic. - `window-desktop.png`, `window-phone.png` (real rootless server): two toasts stack, "Not saved — keep this tab open" and "Your layout is waiting for the server. Keep this tab open.". On desktop the second is wider than the window and covers its bottom edge. This comes from layout saving on a rootless server, not from this branch, but it duplicates one message and I'd file it separately. Also, in the test double the Sessions popover says "No other sessions on busy-host", because the double has none; a populated list was not exercised. ### Not covered A real enrolled-but-offline host (same as J258 and J263); the real-server spec. Verdict: **APPROVE** (not merged).

J205 quick finding on d7f401893: the corrected foreground run passed scope, migrations, Nix vendoring, fmt, doc coverage, shape lint, doc comments, fixed waits, and workspace Clippy, then failed unit tests (209 passed, 2 failed, 15 ignored). The task-owned failure is registered_action_output_schemas_accept_typed_json_envelopes: takeover-proof declares only its data object, but this contract validates the whole JSON result envelope, which other actions build with JsonSchema::command_result_with. The other failure is root_help_lines_fit_80_columns (an 81-column mesh help line); I will verify that against clean origin/dev before treating it as inherited.

J241 round 3 finish: head 976ddc8fd on addhost-startfresh-j241 (contains dev 159edcedc)

Not merged or deployed. Production and code untouched.

Commits since 4f6b632df

commit	change
1de5f794a	P2: a rootful host keeps the infraternal username as its default login. .or(added_as) dropped; F-A stays rootless-only (D336). The test's rootful case now adds root@db.example and expects the infraternal username.
2cd59df45	D351: the F-B install test is split into helpers, with no allow(clippy::too_many_lines).
0ca7a212d	P3: F-C's test runs against a private root, so it asserts on every machine. P2 is covered through completed()'s call site (finish_completion).
86a7f828c	Interrupted-activation leftovers no longer block forever. For a fresh journal still marked activating whose lock is free, not_live ignores only the agent unit's own processes. The inspection accepts what activation installed, each item tied to its rollback marker. Start fresh stops that unit, requires that nothing else holds the base, then runs the existing rollback. The server refuses the offer if that journal's host is connected to it now. A held journal, a terminal shim or any other holder still means "setup running".
d0e84f163	merge origin/dev 159edcedc (no conflicts)
334ccb327	Start fresh also clears the readiness marker the setup's own terminal probe left (found on the VM rerun)
976ddc8fd	test fix: a held journal is reported as INFRATERNAL_SETUP_LOCKED ("setup running"), not exit 73

Follow-ups opened: #372 (Re-enroll F-B), #373 (web: hosts load only after the first terminal; a refused open spins forever), #376 (new, found here: a server that stops between commit and completion leaves an install that blocks the next add with exit 71; evidence compute01:~claude/j241/logs/r3-committed-crash.txt).

Checks (logs in ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/)

• 976ddc8fd, compute01 clippy.log: shape lints OK (scripts/test-shape-lints.py), cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked exit 0, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings (the gate's clippy row) exit 0. The only warnings are in vendored russh crates, which the gate doesn't deny.
• Oracle at 976ddc8fd, dev-02 r3-oracle-976ddc8fd.txt: red (previous_attempt.sh at 0ca7a212d): test_an_interrupted_activation_whose_agent_is_its_only_holder_is_offered_and_cleaned FAIL 73 != 0. The two refusal guards pass both ways. Green: full oracle Ran 89 tests … OK.
• dev-02 r3.log (d0e84f163): server 30 passed; 0 failed; ssh install 104 passed; 0 failed. This was the merge head before the last two commits: the readiness fix (shell and oracle only, covered by the 89/89 above) and a test-assertion fix.
• test_live_parent_lock_reports_the_actual_holder_not_the_inspector errored once in a loaded full run and passes on its own. It waits only 5 s for its observer, so this is a timing flake in an existing test, not related to this change.
• I didn't rerun verify fast this round, per the brief. The table from round 2 is in 80398.

End to end on compute01 (logs in ~claude/j241/logs/)

Branch server 976ddc8fd-equivalent code (built at 334ccb327, sha256 ec468281…), 8d3207cc8 release agent payloads, infraternal username owner, rootless target j241t@j241-target:2241:

1. J257's leftover shape, made deterministically (r3-leftover.txt): an add, with the server SIGKILLed by a watcher on the target the moment .bootstrap-lock/activating exists and the agent runs. Result: journal kind=fresh with activating + replacing-* + stopping, the agent active, no unit commit.
   • While the killed setup's bounded lease (sleep 180) lived, the add correctly said "setup attempt … has held the setup lock since …" (r3-startfresh.out, first run).
   • After it expired, only the agent remained: J257's "forever" state.
2. Production's stale row injected for the same address (ghost e70abaf9…: not revoked, open intent, certificate, open first-shell session; the leftover's own host deleted, as 07fccfc3 on production).
3. Add host + Start fresh (r3-startfresh-summary.txt):

   check  "This host has leftovers from an earlier setup" (stale_previous_attempt) → start-fresh
   server: host provisioning start fresh previous_host=562c0c25… outcome=started … completed
   check  "Earlier setup leftovers removed. Continuing the setup steps."
   server: host provisioning found an earlier setup that never finished host_id=e70abaf9… outcome="retired"
   install → facts → connect → done "The infraternal agent is ready." (host e65837e8)
   

4. Terminal (r3-terminal.out, screenshot r3-terminal-echo.png): {"account":"j241t","requested_account":"j241t","fallback":false}, echo ok → ok, and nonce j241r3-9c96fbd39d2c written to /home/j241t/.j241-proof by j241t.

Cleanup: throwaway server stopped; orphaned ssh clients from the SIGKILLed servers killed by PID; user j241t, its sshd and the temporary /etc/hosts line removed; target dirs and scratch binaries deleted on both VMs. Logs and harness are kept.

The focused takeover CLI test/schema edits remain uncommitted in the worktree. Next I’m running scripts/verify quick on compute01 (three slots free, 345 GB free; dev-02 is full), then I’ll resolve any new-base baseline failure and finish the fixture proof and fast gate.

Orchestrator, replying to J205's test-server deploy request (81265): not yet.

1. The test server is reserved for the owner's add-host fix. That's addhost-startfresh-j241, in final review by J272, and it goes test server → production as soon as J272 approves. Deploying a branch now would move the test DB ahead of dev and block that path.
2. Your quick gate on d7f401893 is red (81308):
   • Fix registered_action_output_schemas_accept_typed_json_envelopes by wrapping the result with JsonSchema::command_result_with, as the other actions do.
   • Check root_help_lines_fit_80_columns against clean origin/dev, now 442ac0f99. If it's red there too, say so and leave it.
3. Once your quick is green, and the owner's add-host fix is on production, ask again with the head SHA. Also state whether your branch carries migrations that dev doesn't.

Meanwhile, run the D337 browser flow against a throwaway server built from your branch on compute01, as J257, J241 and J268 did. That doesn't need the test server.

J205 finding on refreshed base 684dbf6ed: scripts/verify quick passed scope, migration names, Nix vendoring, fmt, documentation checks, and workspace Clippy, then failed the infraternal unit tests at cli::command_tree::tests::root_help_lines_fit_80_columns: the existing mesh help row is 81 columns. J205 does not change command_tree.rs; I’m checking this exact test on clean origin/dev before classifying it as a base failure.

The focused takeover_proof_cli run confirmed the pending JSON regression test is red for the intended reason: with --json, successful signing exits 1 and identity mismatch emits no JSON on stdout. I’m passing the global JSON flag to the handler and keeping the non-JSON proof object pasteable.

The focused proof failure was in the test identity, not the archive reader: the fixture CA and its server leaf both used archived.example as their subject. OpenSSL treated the leaf as self-signed (self-signed certificate); giving the CA a separate name matches the existing server test fixture. With that fixed, takeover_proof_cli passes 3/3: JSON success envelope, generic refusal envelope with no stderr, and the original raw proof output without --json.

J272 progress

The suites pass on 976ddc8fd merged with origin/dev 442ac0f99 (local merge 5d43784b0, not pushed). Log: compute01:~claude/j272/logs/tests.log and tests2.log.

• Shell oracle previous_attempt_shell: Ran 89 tests … OK, including the 3 interrupted-activation tests.
• ssh --test install: 104 passed; 0 failed; 2 ignored.

Under investigation, still to be proven live: every mode of the binary calls set_dumpable(false) at startup (crates/infraternal/src/main.rs:2266). On compute01, a non-dumpable process's /proc/<pid> passes -O, but its exe and fd are root-owned and can't be read. scan_holders's find then exits 1, and the script reads that as "nothing found". So the scan_holders all after the stop in stop_activated_agent can't see an infraternal shim. The only shim check is the helper's kernel socket check in not_live, and it runs before the stop. Next: the end to end on a throwaway server, and the adversarial cases with a real shim inside the agent unit's cgroup (rootless own-account shims are launched Detached, daemon.rs:206, so they stay in infraternal-agent.service's cgroup).

J205 UI check on 684dbf6ed (base currently 442ac0f99): the existing in-use add-host card already names the host, the old server enrollment, terminal count and carry-over, and reuses the shared mountConfirmTip exact-action confirmation. The pending regression now checks that a proof from the wrong command does not enable takeover. The current input handler enables on any non-empty paste, and the proof parser runs only after confirmation, so invalid proof can reach a passkey prompt. I am running that production-tracer regression on compute01 before tightening validation for the raw proof and the --json result envelope; no new visual pattern is planned.

The browser run is foregrounded in compute01's build-slot queue (position 4 at start). I checked both Linux queues first; dev-02 had no free slot. I will keep polling in the foreground.

J205 update: the isolated takeover browser regression is queued first on dev-02; both slots remain occupied, while compute01 has two jobs ahead and no free slot. The regression spec is copied to the isolated VM worktree and production source remains unchanged until the red run is observed. I’m keeping this run foregrounded.

J205 correction: the previous finding comment was shell-expanded and lost several quoted terms. Exact finding: in a red production-browser run on branch commit 3fd64ef2b at desktop/Ink, the refusal card shows “Old server: monitor01.example” and “2 open terminal sessions”, but its existing Details disclosure omits the TakeoverChallenge required by the infraternal takeover-proof command.

Next I am running scripts/verify quick against this base, then I will reproduce and fix the remaining production-browser completion failure before the fixture proof and final gate. The local production-browser test changes are in the VM worktree; the current queue check shows both VMs full, so I am using dev-02, which has no queued build ahead of this run.

J272 verdict on addhost-startfresh-j241 @ 976ddc8fd: REQUEST CHANGES (one P2, a few lines of shell plus one oracle test)

Bottom line: the owner's path works. An interrupted activation, then Start fresh, then a terminal on host 92c53bf7 (account j272t), and echo ok prints ok. Start fresh also refuses, and touches nothing, while another server's setup is live and while a terminal shim with a bound socket holds the install. One gap remains. After Start fresh stops the agent, it never checks again for shims. Shims are non-dumpable, so scan_holders can't see them. I made Start fresh remove the install while a live terminal shim was running from it. The normal server flows don't reach that state (see Reachability), but the guarantee asked for here ("never removes anything a live process uses, such as a terminal shim") doesn't hold. The fix is small. Everything else is approved, including 1de5f794a, 2cd59df45 and 0ca7a212d.

P2: Start fresh can remove an install a live terminal shim is still using

crates/plugins/ssh/src/previous_attempt.sh: stop_activated_agent (after $manager stop, scan_holders all), with not_live in unit mode.

Why it happens

• harden_startup() calls set_dumpable(false) in every mode of the binary (crates/infraternal/src/main.rs:2266). On compute01, a non-dumpable process's /proc/<pid> passes -O, but its exe and fd are owned by root and can't be read. find exits 1, and scan_holders reads that as "nothing found". So scan_holders can't see any infraternal shim, before the stop or after it.
• Rootless own-account shims start Detached (crates/infraternal-agent/src/daemon.rs:206). They are exec'd by the agent, so they live in infraternal-agent.service's cgroup. unit mode skips that cgroup, and KillMode=process means systemctl stop leaves them running.
• The only guard for shims is the helper's kernel socket check in not_live, and it runs before the stop. After the stop, retire_control_socket succeeds because shims don't hold the lifetime lock. The body then rms every *.sock and the rollback deletes $base.
• So a shim the agent starts after that check, or one that hasn't bound its socket yet, survives the stop unseen, and its install is deleted under it.

Proof (compute01:~claude/j272/logs/b2-shim-unseen.txt)

• Shape: leftovers from a real interrupted activation (journal fresh with activating, agent pid 1136272). A real bin/current __shim (pid 1136922) was moved by root into …/app.slice/infraternal-agent.service. Its socket files were unlinked, which is what the socket check sees for a shim started after it.
• /proc/1136922/exe is owned by root and gives Permission denied to its own user.
• Add on A, then:

  "An earlier setup on this host did not finish; finishing it now." → "Earlier setup leftovers removed." → install → done (host 60f83742)
  afterwards: planted shim 1136922 alive=yes, still running `…/bin/current __shim …` from the deleted binary
  

Reachability: low. The agent of an uncommitted fresh journal has to be admitted by some server and asked for a terminal, inside that window. The server-side invariants rule that out:

• The 180 s lease starts at activation, after the attempt deadline has (re)started, so a live setup always holds the journal.
• The remote commit runs before completed() (bootstrap.rs:1841-1844).
• retire_unfinished_bootstraps runs before any listener (runtime.rs:459).
• A failed attempt revokes the host.

That makes this defence in depth on a destructive path, not a live exploit. It is also why I don't approve a "never" this code can't show.

Suggested fix: in stop_activated_agent, right after $manager stop:

1. Read the unit's cgroup ($manager show -p ControlGroup --value infraternal-agent.service, or /proc/<MainPID>/cgroup read before the stop). Refuse with 73 if its cgroup.procs still lists any process. This catches Detached shims however far their startup has got.
2. Rerun the helper's sessions kernel check, for shims in their own systemd-run scopes.

An oracle test with a non-dumpable stand-in left inside the unit (for example prctl through python3 -c) would pin it down. Optionally, the check before the stop could skip only the unit's MainPID instead of the whole cgroup, so a refusal comes before the agent is stopped (see P3-a).

P3s (non-blocking)

• a. After confirmation, a dumpable process inside the unit's cgroup makes Start fresh stop the agent and then refuse with 73. The install stays intact and the process is left alone (logs/b3-holder-in-unit.txt). The agent is a leftover with no server, so this is harmless. Option 1 above, or skipping only MainPID, makes it refuse before anything is stopped.
• b. leftover_connected is checked only before the offer, not after confirmation (bootstrap.rs:1443-1455). It is safe by the invariants above. Rechecking it after confirm_start_fresh would cost one lookup. No test covers leftover_connected: no server or bootstrap test names it.
• c. Copy: a fresh install interrupted during activation is offered as "An earlier install stopped while replacing this infraternal agent." There was nothing to replace.
• d. (Pre-existing, outside this delta.) A killed shim leaves <id>.sock plus <id>.stop. The stale inspection refuses any .stop file (exit 71, "ownership is not proven"), so such leftovers can't be offered (logs/b1-live-shim.txt, control 1).

What I checked and proved

Security questions (code + live)

• An infraternal agent of this server: offer refused when leftover_connected is true. Restart retires unfinished setups before any listener starts. The commit comes before completion, so an enrolled agent never has an activating journal. ✔
• An infraternal agent of another server: its setup holds the journal through the lease, which outlives that attempt's deadline. Live (a) (logs/case-a.txt): server B was SIGSTOPped right after activation (journal activating, agent 981231 active). A's add returned setup_running ("setup attempt 81b73f06 … has held the setup lock"), and the agent pid, journal and unit were unchanged. When B resumed, it failed and rolled back its own install. ✔
• Another person's install: rootless, $base is inside the SSH account itself, and every check is -O plus the journal's own markers. Root mode needs sudo on the host. The setup flock and the journal flock are both honoured (flock -n 8 || exit 73, plus oracle …still_refuses_while_its_setup_holds_the_journal). Live: an add inside the killed setup's lease returned setup_running (logs/e2-in-lease.txt). ✔
• A live process using the install:
  • A dumpable process outside the unit is refused (oracle).
  • Live (b1) (logs/b1-live-shim.txt): a real shim with a bound socket inside the agent cgroup gave setup_running. Agent and shim untouched. The control run without the shim proceeded, so the shim was the blocker. ✔
  • (b2): the P2 above. ✘
• .readiness: accepted only in unit mode, as a regular private file named by a hex id, mode 600 and -O. It is removed only after the stop and the holder scan. rm on a path checked with ! -L can't follow a link, and only the same account could swap the directory. ✔
• TOCTOU / PID reuse / symlinks / non-owners:
  • The check and the act run under one setup flock. The act re-inspects (observed = expected or 75).
  • The cgroup skip is read fresh for each process, so PID reuse grants nothing.
  • Stage files are ! -L and -O.
  • Only the SSH account itself, which the person adding already controls, can plant processes or files.
  • The one real window is the P2.

Suites (976ddc8fd merged with origin/dev 442ac0f99, local merge 5d43784b0, not pushed; compute01:~claude/j272/logs/tests.log, tests2.log):

• oracle Ran 89 tests … OK
• ssh --test install 104 passed; 0 failed; 2 ignored
• server 29 passed; 0 failed (the test list is in tests2.log)
• uninstall::tests 13 passed; 0 failed

Per the brief, I didn't run verify fast or quick. I read J241's gate output in 80398 and 81341.

End to end, rootless, throwaway servers A and B (branch server binary sha256 adc4512e…, agent payloads 8d3207cc8, target j272t@127.0.0.1:2272, cert trusted only on the target through SSL_CERT_FILE):

1. Interrupted activation: server B was SIGKILLed by a root watcher the moment activating existed and the agent ran (logs/e4-B-interrupt.txt). Journal fresh plus activating and replacing-*, agent 1183380 active. B restarted, and B now refuses that agent (PermissionDenied).

2. Start fresh on A after the lease expired (logs/e5-startfresh.txt):

   check "This host has leftovers from an earlier setup" (stale_previous_attempt) → start-fresh
   "Earlier setup leftovers removed. Continuing the setup steps." → install → facts → connect → done "The infraternal agent is ready." (host 92c53bf7)
   

   The same-server automatic path also passed twice (logs/b1-live-shim.txt control 2, logs/b2…).

3. Terminal (logs/e11-terminal.txt, screenshot attached):

   • {"account":"j272t","fallback":false,"requested_account":"j272t"}
   • echo ok → ok
   • nonce j272-4e686193d390 written to ~/.j272-proof, owned by j272t

   Driving it needed J257's #373 workaround (open a Console window first). The local and remote hosts share the name infraternal-dev-01-compute01 on this VM.

Cleanup

• Every host was removed through A's remove flow with uninstall, and the target was confirmed clean.
• Servers A and B stopped; orphaned ssh clients from the SIGKILLed servers killed by PID.
• User j272t and its home removed, linger off; private sshd and /run/j272 removed.
• VM worktree, target dir (scratch), server data, keys and passkey state deleted; mesh claim released.
• Logs and scripts kept in compute01:~claude/j272/. Production, the test server, dev-02 and the Mac weren't touched.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES: the P2 (recheck the unit cgroup and the shim sockets after the stop in stop_activated_agent). Production flows can't reach it today, so the owner may choose to ship now and fix it in a follow-up. If so, the P2 should become an issue.

Refuse with `73` if its `cgroup.procs` still lists any process. This catches Detached shims however far their startup has got. 2. Rerun the helper's `sessions` kernel check, for shims in their own `systemd-run` scopes. An oracle test with a non-dumpable stand-in left inside the unit (for example `prctl` through `python3 -c`) would pin it down. Optionally, the check before the stop could skip only the unit's `MainPID` instead of the whole cgroup, so a refusal comes before the agent is stopped (see P3-a). ### P3s (non-blocking) - **a.** After confirmation, a dumpable process inside the unit's cgroup makes Start fresh **stop the agent** and then refuse with 73. The install stays intact and the process is left alone (`logs/b3-holder-in-unit.txt`). The agent is a leftover with no server, so this is harmless. Option 1 above, or skipping only `MainPID`, makes it refuse before anything is stopped. - **b.** `leftover_connected` is checked only before the offer, not after confirmation (`bootstrap.rs:1443-1455`). It is safe by the invariants above. Rechecking it after `confirm_start_fresh` would cost one lookup. No test covers `leftover_connected`: no server or bootstrap test names it. - **c.** Copy: a fresh install interrupted during activation is offered as "An earlier install stopped while replacing this infraternal agent." There was nothing to replace. - **d.** (Pre-existing, outside this delta.) A killed shim leaves `<id>.sock` plus `<id>.stop`. The stale inspection refuses any `.stop` file (exit 71, "ownership is not proven"), so such leftovers can't be offered (`logs/b1-live-shim.txt`, control 1). ### What I checked and proved **Security questions (code + live)** - **An infraternal agent of this server:** offer refused when `leftover_connected` is true. Restart retires unfinished setups before any listener starts. The commit comes before completion, so an enrolled agent never has an `activating` journal. ✔ - **An infraternal agent of another server:** its setup holds the journal through the lease, which outlives that attempt's deadline. **Live (a)** (`logs/case-a.txt`): server B was SIGSTOPped right after activation (journal `activating`, agent 981231 active). A's add returned `setup_running` ("setup attempt 81b73f06 … has held the setup lock"), and the agent pid, journal and unit were unchanged. When B resumed, it failed and rolled back its own install. ✔ - **Another person's install:** rootless, `$base` is inside the SSH account itself, and every check is `-O` plus the journal's own markers. Root mode needs sudo on the host. The setup flock and the journal flock are both honoured (`flock -n 8 || exit 73`, plus oracle `…still_refuses_while_its_setup_holds_the_journal`). Live: an add inside the killed setup's lease returned `setup_running` (`logs/e2-in-lease.txt`). ✔ - **A live process using the install:** - A dumpable process outside the unit is refused (oracle). - **Live (b1)** (`logs/b1-live-shim.txt`): a real shim with a bound socket inside the agent cgroup gave `setup_running`. Agent and shim untouched. The control run without the shim proceeded, so the shim was the blocker. ✔ - **(b2):** the P2 above. ✘ - **`.readiness`:** accepted only in `unit` mode, as a regular private file named by a hex id, mode 600 and `-O`. It is removed only after the stop and the holder scan. `rm` on a path checked with `! -L` can't follow a link, and only the same account could swap the directory. ✔ - **TOCTOU / PID reuse / symlinks / non-owners:** - The check and the act run under one setup flock. The act re-inspects (`observed = expected` or 75). - The cgroup skip is read fresh for each process, so PID reuse grants nothing. - Stage files are `! -L` and `-O`. - Only the SSH account itself, which the person adding already controls, can plant processes or files. - The one real window is the P2. **Suites** (`976ddc8fd` merged with origin/dev `442ac0f99`, local merge `5d43784b0`, not pushed; `compute01:~claude/j272/logs/tests.log`, `tests2.log`): - oracle `Ran 89 tests … OK` - ssh `--test install` `104 passed; 0 failed; 2 ignored` - server `29 passed; 0 failed` (the test list is in `tests2.log`) - `uninstall::tests` `13 passed; 0 failed` Per the brief, I didn't run `verify fast` or `quick`. I read J241's gate output in 80398 and 81341. **End to end, rootless, throwaway servers A and B** (branch server binary sha256 `adc4512e…`, agent payloads 8d3207cc8, target `j272t@127.0.0.1:2272`, cert trusted only on the target through `SSL_CERT_FILE`): 1. **Interrupted activation:** server B was SIGKILLed by a root watcher the moment `activating` existed and the agent ran (`logs/e4-B-interrupt.txt`). Journal `fresh` plus `activating` and `replacing-*`, agent 1183380 active. B restarted, and B now refuses that agent (PermissionDenied). 2. **Start fresh** on A after the lease expired (`logs/e5-startfresh.txt`): ``` check "This host has leftovers from an earlier setup" (stale_previous_attempt) → start-fresh "Earlier setup leftovers removed. Continuing the setup steps." → install → facts → connect → done "The infraternal agent is ready." (host 92c53bf7) ``` The same-server automatic path also passed twice (`logs/b1-live-shim.txt` control 2, `logs/b2…`). 3. **Terminal** (`logs/e11-terminal.txt`, screenshot attached): - `{"account":"j272t","fallback":false,"requested_account":"j272t"}` - `echo ok` → `ok` - nonce `j272-4e686193d390` written to `~/.j272-proof`, owned by `j272t` Driving it needed J257's #373 workaround (open a Console window first). The local and remote hosts share the name `infraternal-dev-01-compute01` on this VM. ### Cleanup - Every host was removed through A's remove flow with uninstall, and the target was confirmed clean. - Servers A and B stopped; orphaned `ssh` clients from the SIGKILLed servers killed by PID. - User `j272t` and its home removed, linger off; private sshd and `/run/j272` removed. - VM worktree, target dir (scratch), server data, keys and passkey state deleted; mesh claim released. - Logs and scripts kept in `compute01:~claude/j272/`. Production, the test server, dev-02 and the Mac weren't touched. **Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES:** the P2 (recheck the unit cgroup and the shim sockets after the stop in `stop_activated_agent`). Production flows can't reach it today, so the owner may choose to ship now and fix it in a follow-up. If so, the P2 should become an issue.

J205 new-base finding on a788be64d: after the formatter fix, quick passed scope, migrations, vendoring, fmt, doc coverage, shape lint, diff doc comments and fixed waits. Workspace Clippy then failed compiling crates/plugins/mesh/tests/gotatun_persistence.rs: the D351 test refactor in this branch predates origin/dev fields Peer.previous_key, Peer.previous_active and PeerPolicy.access_ssh. I am restoring the neutral fixture defaults and rerunning quick on compute01.

J205 progress: rebased and pushed takeover-proof-305-j205 onto current origin/dev 0aad23e1c at 251eb0b76. The std VM freeze is in effect, so all J205 work is on compute01; no new work has been queued on dev-02 or macOS.

The previous quick run reached the changed-package tests and reported runtime_lock::tests::a_payload_process_without_a_session_endpoint_is_refused_before_any_stop as Ok(()) instead of Err(73). The first isolated command omitted the workspace tokio/rt-multi-thread feature and therefore compiled no test; I am rerunning the exact test with the unified feature set through compute01's build-slot. Its pre-run status showed four slots occupied and four queued jobs.

Orchestrator: please deploy head 251eb0b76 to the test server for the add-host browser flow, using the orchestrator's software passkey, or confirm whether the existing reservation still prevents it. I will continue independently with a compute01 throwaway server meanwhile.

UI finding: the existing Details disclosure in apps/tracer/addhost.css has 0.25rem vertical padding and no coarse-pointer minimum, while add-host's existing --ah-control is 2.75rem on touch. That appears below the required 44 px target. I am adding a production-browser measurement at both requested phone size and the TASTE 375×667 size before changing the existing disclosure styling. The proof screen and per-action confirmation already use the existing add-host flow and packages/ui key/value list.

The read-only dev-02 slot check found no queued J205 run, and I have started nothing on dev-02 or the Mac.

I fetched origin, but both origin/dev and fjweb/dev still advertise 863c8f97f; e5dd7f40d is not available in this checkout (git cat-file reports no such object). I have not rebased or run gates against the stale base. Please make the merged dev ref visible to this checkout; I will continue with the touch-target work in the existing J205 worktree and rebase before the final quick/fast gates.

Correction to my previous base note: e5dd7f40d is available, and the fetched origin/dev at 863c8f97f already contains it (e5dd7f40d is an ancestor of origin/dev). I am rebasing J205 onto current origin/dev at 863c8f97f; this includes the merged D349 creating-alias recovery markers. The earlier statement that the e5 object was missing was incorrect.

J241 round 4 finish: head d820cc17a on addhost-startfresh-j241 (contains dev ad23e8536)

Not merged or deployed. compute01 only. Production and code untouched.

Commits since 976ddc8fd

commit	change
606885b7d	P2 (J272): Start fresh never removes an install a hidden shim still runs from. unit mode skips only the unit's MainPID, so anything else in the agent's cgroup refuses (73) before anything is stopped, which also settles P3-a. A process whose exe or fds are hidden (non-dumpable) is classified by what stays readable: agent-unit cgroup, infraternal-session-*.scope, or argv0 under the install → refuse. Zombies hold nothing. find errors are kept, never read as "nothing found". After the stop, Start fresh refuses while the unit's cgroup.procs (read before the stop) lists anything, then reruns the socket check and the full scan. The Replace path (D337) is unchanged.
59d969b8a	P3-c: a fresh journal's offer now reads "An earlier setup of this host stopped before it finished." The upgrade text stays for upgrades.
333410c66	P3-b: leftover_connected is rechecked between confirmation and cleanup.
35bc148df	merge origin/dev ad23e8536. Conflict in existing_host: kept this branch's lookup and added dev's #347 pending-removal filter.
f9bd26f15	holder scan: a process that exits, or whose fd vanishes, while find reads it is not a refusal; find runs with LC_ALL=C. Found inside a busy build slot.
f41412850	found on the VM after the merge: dev's login-revocation outbox makes a person-owned host's retirement wait for its agent's receipt, so denying an abandoned ghost (agent gone) hung the add for its 180 s deadline. Now deny_abandoned_bootstrap → commit_revocation_intent without waiting, as Remove does for an offline host. existing_host skips hosts with a pending login cleanup.
d820cc17a	found on the VM next: the issuer's writer-side duplicate check then refused the new invitation (409) because of that denied host. It now skips hosts with a pending login cleanup, the same rule.

Issue opened: #387 (a killed shim's .stop endpoint makes leftovers unofferable; not small, because proving it dead needs the runtime helper's kernel check extended to .stop).

Owner owner, rootless target j241t@j241-target:2241, 8d3207cc8 agent payloads.

1. Interrupted activation (r4-leftover.txt, plus the first lines of r4-final-plant-refusal.txt): a watcher on the target SIGKILLed the server the moment activating existed. Result: journal fresh, agent active; the add waited out the lease.
2. J272's reproducer (r4-final-plant-refusal.txt): a non-dumpable process run as j241t and moved into the agent unit's cgroup (cgroup.procs: <agent> <planted>; readlink /proc/<planted>/exe as j241t: Permission denied), plus production's ghost row. Add host → setup_running (exit 73) before anything is stopped. Afterwards the base, bin/live and the journal are present, the planted process is alive and the service is still active.
3. Planted process ended → Add host + Start fresh (r4-final-startfresh.txt): "This host has leftovers from an earlier setup" with the message "An earlier setup of this host stopped before it finished." → leftovers removed → ghost 12fbfd5c… denied instantly → install → facts → connect → done (5.4 s, host a2a9caab…).
4. Terminal (r4-terminal2.out, screenshot attached): {"account":"j241t","requested_account":"j241t","fallback":false}, echo ok → ok, nonce j241r4-c3487866c7cf written to /home/j241t/.j241-proof by j241t.

For the owner (UX, not changed here)

After a re-add denies the stale row, Console lists it as a second, offline, pending host with the same name, until its agent ever confirms the cleanup (r4-terminal.out host frames). That's dev's #347 pending-host presentation, as for a removed offline host; opening it is refused. If kayg prefers, the denied row could be hidden or offered for Remove. That's an owner call, and I haven't changed it.

Cleanup: throwaway servers stopped; orphaned ssh clients killed by PID; user j241t, its sshd and the temporary /etc/hosts line removed; target dir and scratch binaries deleted. Logs and harness kept. dev-02, the Mac, production and the test server untouched.

## J241 round 4 finish: head **`d820cc17a`** on `addhost-startfresh-j241` (contains dev `ad23e8536`) Not merged or deployed. compute01 only. Production and `code` untouched. ### Commits since 976ddc8fd | commit | change | |---|---| | `606885b7d` | **P2 (J272):** Start fresh never removes an install a hidden shim still runs from. `unit` mode skips only the unit's `MainPID`, so anything else in the agent's cgroup refuses (73) **before anything is stopped**, which also settles P3-a. A process whose exe or fds are hidden (non-dumpable) is classified by what stays readable: agent-unit cgroup, `infraternal-session-*.scope`, or argv0 under the install → refuse. Zombies hold nothing. `find` errors are kept, never read as "nothing found". After the stop, Start fresh refuses while the unit's `cgroup.procs` (read before the stop) lists anything, then reruns the socket check and the full scan. The Replace path (D337) is unchanged. | | `59d969b8a` | **P3-c:** a fresh journal's offer now reads "An earlier setup of this host stopped before it finished." The upgrade text stays for upgrades. | | `333410c66` | **P3-b:** `leftover_connected` is rechecked between confirmation and cleanup. | | `35bc148df` | merge origin/dev `ad23e8536`. Conflict in `existing_host`: kept this branch's lookup and added dev's #347 pending-removal filter. | | `f9bd26f15` | holder scan: a process that exits, or whose fd vanishes, while `find` reads it is not a refusal; `find` runs with `LC_ALL=C`. Found inside a busy build slot. | | `f41412850` | **found on the VM after the merge:** dev's login-revocation outbox makes a person-owned host's retirement wait for its agent's receipt, so denying an abandoned ghost (agent gone) hung the add for its 180 s deadline. Now `deny_abandoned_bootstrap` → `commit_revocation_intent` without waiting, as Remove does for an offline host. `existing_host` skips hosts with a pending login cleanup. | | `d820cc17a` | **found on the VM next:** the issuer's writer-side duplicate check then refused the new invitation (409) because of that denied host. It now skips hosts with a pending login cleanup, the same rule. | Issue opened: **#387** (a killed shim's `.stop` endpoint makes leftovers unofferable; not small, because proving it dead needs the runtime helper's kernel check extended to `.stop`). ### Red / green (compute01, `~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/`) - **P2 oracle**, red at `976ddc8fd` (`r4.log`): `test_an_interrupted_activation_refuses_a_hidden_shim_in_its_unit_before_stopping_anything` FAIL (offered as STALE) and `test_start_fresh_refuses_a_shim_that_appears_while_the_agent_stops` FAIL (install removed). The stand-in is non-dumpable: a copy of `sleep` its owner can't read; the test asserts its exe is hidden. - **Hang**, red at `f9bd26f15` (`r4d.log`): `an_abandoned_setup_of_a_person_is_denied_without_waiting_for_its_gone_agent` → `Elapsed` (timed out). - **409**, red at `f41412850` (`r4f.log`): `a_denied_abandoned_setup_does_not_occupy_its_destination` → `409`. - **Green at `d820cc17a`** (`r4f.log`): server remote-feature subset `57 passed; 0 failed`; **full default server lib `552 passed; 0 failed`**; shape lints OK; `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings` exit 0 (vendored `russh` warnings only). `35bc148df` (`r4b.log`): `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` OK, ssh lib OK. - **Shell oracle and ssh install suite** (the ssh crate is unchanged since `f9bd26f15`), in a real build slot (`r4c.log`): oracle `Ran 92 tests … OK` ×3; `--test install` `104 passed; 0 failed` ×3.

Reproduced the four quick failures on compute01 after rebuilding from the refreshed target. Three confirmation tests use upgrade records missing the issuer-pin field now required by the strict journal parser; the upgrade round-trip test’s direct enrolled record is valid, but it reaches the same stale no-enrollment helper. The fourth failure is the compaction guard rejecting a line continuation in restore_stuck_service (previous_attempt.sh:780). I’m correcting the fixture shapes and rewriting that condition as nested checks, preserving runtime behavior.

Progress: the three stale journal fixtures and the recovery-shell compaction guard are fixed. The isolated previous_attempt tests pass 4/4, and the compaction test passes. Fix commits are pushed through aa67f3fa1; I added D345 comments after the next quick run found those two missing docs. The refreshed scripts/verify quick has been first in compute01’s build-slot queue since 08:23 UTC (all four slots occupied; 124G free). dev-02 and the Mac remain untouched under the freeze; I’m continuing the foreground wait.

Finding: the refreshed quick gate failed tracer typecheck with TS7053 at real.ts:103: the parser validated value.action but TypeScript did not retain that property narrowing inside the callback. I captured the validated action locally; the exact key and parameter checks are unchanged. The retry is queued on compute01 behind two jobs. Both target directories were absent at cleanup, with 115 GB free; one will be recreated when the gate starts.

J241b (D355) finish: branch addhost-drop-stale-j241b, head d8e4a69fe, stacked on addhost-startfresh-j241 @ d820cc17a

addhost-startfresh-j241 wasn't touched (J292 is reviewing d820cc17a). Not merged or deployed. compute01 only.

D355, implemented ("Drop it when Start fresh cleaned up"): after a successful Start fresh on the fresh-leftovers path, the SSH flow calls the new Backend::start_fresh_cleaned. The server then finishes the same person's stale entries for that machine account (RemoteBackend::drop_cleaned_stale_entries):

• Qualifies: the person's own rows at this address (or SSH lookup), same mode and execution account, unrevoked, with an open setup intent or an unconfirmed cleanup. Excluded: a row a running attempt here owns, and one whose infraternal agent is connected.
• Each one is denied if it isn't yet (no wait), then confirm_login_cleanup completes it exactly as the agent's receipt would: revoked, cleanup confirmed, intent consumed. It leaves Console and the host list.
• Untouched: entries whose machine wasn't cleaned by a Start fresh (they stay pending), other people's rows, other accounts or modes on the machine, other addresses, finished hosts.
• Why it's sound: one install base per account and mode, and Start fresh just proved that base empty, so any install those entries had there is gone.

Tests (compute01, ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/d355.log)

• Red (drop step stubbed): start_fresh_drops_the_persons_stale_entries_for_that_account FAILED (entries stayed pending). The two guards (an_entry_whose_cleanup_was_not_proven_stays_pending, only_the_persons_own_stale_row_is_dropped) pass both ways, as guards should.
• Green d8e4a69fe: server remote-feature subset 60 passed; 0 failed; full default server lib 552 passed; 0 failed; shell oracle Ran 92 tests … OK; ssh --test install 104 passed; 0 failed, previous_attempt_shell 2 passed; shape lints OK; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings exit 0 (vendored russh warnings only).

For kayg: today's code won't trigger it

D355 keys on Start fresh. code is already clean (the Nov 5 Start fresh removed its leftovers), so re-adding it today finds no leftovers and runs no Start fresh. The stale Nov 2 row c74f6d38… is then denied (not "already added") and shows as one offline pending entry beside the new host, and Remove won't clear it either: for an offline host, Remove also waits for a receipt.

If kayg wants that entry gone too, the natural extension is to treat the check that found no install at all in that account's base (the INFRATERNAL_SETUP_CLEAR path with no base) as the same proof. That's a D355 scope question for kayg; I haven't changed it.

Production Playwright findings from head 7a729d59c:

• The existing Details summary measures 29.6875 px at 393×852 and 375×667, failing the 44 px assertion at addhost-takeover.spec.ts:66 in both themes.
• Desktop reaches the passkey confirmation, then the mock flow shows a generic setup failure instead of finishing. The test double's start-fresh allow-list omits the optional takeover ticket that bootstrap_api::ClientCommand::StartFresh accepts.

The run used the production build. I will add a touch-only hit area to the existing disclosure and align the test double's command schema with the server, then rerun the spec.

J292 verdict on addhost-startfresh-j241 @ d820cc17a: REQUEST CHANGES (one red unit test; tested 8-line fix below)

Bottom line: the round-4 logic is right, and the oracle and the server tests prove it. But d820cc17a fails one ssh unit test, so verify fast can't be green and the merge gate will stop it. I wrote and tested a fix (below). The live P2 attack and the rootless end to end did not run: the compute01 mesh claim has been J175 2026-11-06T03:34:03Z throughout (checked 08:13–09:29 UTC; J287 and J259 are blocked on it too). Run them on the fixed head when the claim frees. Reviewed only the delta since 976ddc8fd.

assertion `left == right` failed:    "unreadable: find: '/proc/"*)

• Cause: the guard forbids here-documents and odd quote counts in the embedded setup programs. Round 4 added both to scan_holders:
  • done <<SCAN … SCAN (606885b7d)
  • the odd ' in the find error pattern (f9bd26f15)
• Not caused by the merge: git diff d820cc17a HEAD -- crates/plugins/ssh/ on my merge is empty.
• Runtime impact: none today. compact() only strips indentation, comment lines and empty lines. The here-document body is $live at column 0, so the compacted script behaves the same. That is the guard's whole point, though: it keeps compaction sound for later edits.
• Fix, tested (~claude/j292/logs/proposed-fix.diff; local only, not pushed): a for loop over $live, split on newlines with set -f. There is no pipeline, so exit 73 still exits the script. The pattern uses ? instead of the literal ', and find already runs under LC_ALL=C.

What round 4 had to fix

• J272's P2: fixed in code, proven by the oracle, not rerun live (claim). not_live now skips only the unit's MainPID. Any other process in the agent's cgroup refuses (73) before anything is stopped. A hidden (non-dumpable) process counts as the install's if it sits in the agent unit's cgroup, in an infraternal-session-*.scope, or has argv0 under $base. Zombies don't count. After the stop:

  • cgroup.procs is read from the ControlGroup captured before the stop. A non-empty or unreadable file refuses.
  • The kernel socket check reruns.
  • scan_holders all runs again, and it now also refuses any hidden in-unit process.
  • find errors are no longer read as "nothing found". The only exceptions are vanished-process errors, and permission errors on a process judged by hidden_holder.

  Both new oracle tests pass: …refuses_a_hidden_shim_in_its_unit_before_stopping_anything (no mutating call; bin/live intact; the stand-in is alive) and …refuses_a_shim_that_appears_while_the_agent_stops. J272's exact shape (a non-dumpable __shim moved into infraternal-agent.service with its sockets unlinked) hits the first case. J241's live run of it is in 81837 (r4-final-plant-refusal.txt). I haven't reproduced it myself.

• Leftover .stop file: not fixed in this branch. There is no .stop change in the delta. J241 moved it to #387, because proving a .stop endpoint dead needs the runtime helper's kernel check extended. I agree that's the safe call: inferring "dead" from the sibling .sock is unsound. Since nothing here removes a .stop, nothing here can remove a file that isn't ours. Leftovers from a killed shim still exit 71 (not offerable) until #387 lands.

• Offer text: fixed. A fresh journal (no lease owner) reads "An earlier setup of this host stopped before it finished."; upgrades keep the old text.

• Connected-here recheck: fixed. leftover_connected is asked again between confirm_start_fresh and act_start_fresh (one lookup).

Server follow-ups (f41412850, d820cc17a)

• deny_abandoned_bootstrap checks owner, created_at and an open intent, then calls commit_revocation_intent without waiting for a receipt.
• existing_host and the issuer's occupied check now skip hosts with remote_login_cleanup.confirmed=0. I checked every production writer of that row: the revoke trigger, commit_revocation_intent and retire_unfinished_bootstraps. All are denials, and a pending row already refuses admission, join issuance and redemption (pending_cleanup_refuses_join_token_*). A live host can't hide behind the filter. ✔

Tests (d820cc17a + origin/dev f27007f88, local merge e2cd6899c, not pushed; compute01:~claude/j292/logs/)

• Shell oracle: Ran 92 tests in 67.041s / OK (oracle.log)
• ssh --test install: 104 passed; 0 failed; 2 ignored (ssh-install.log)
• Server lib --features remote: 940 passed; 0 failed; 57 ignored, including an_abandoned_setup_of_a_person_is_denied_without_waiting_for_its_gone_agent, a_denied_abandoned_setup_does_not_occupy_its_destination and the_check_before_confirmation_never_retires_an_abandoned_setup (server.log)
• ssh lib: red as above (ssh-lib.log); green with the fix (fix-ssh-lib.log)

Per the brief, I didn't run verify fast or quick.

Not done: blocked

The P2 attack live, and interrupted activation → Start fresh → terminal → echo ok. Both need the mesh claim. Next round: rerun both on the fixed head (J272's plant.sh shape, rootless).

Cleanup

Throwaway user j292t, its sshd, /run/j292, the VM worktree, the target dir, the binaries and the keys are removed. No server or infraternal agent was started. The claim was never taken. Logs and scripts are kept in compute01:~claude/j292/. Nothing was pushed or deployed. Production, the test server, dev-02 and the Mac were not touched.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES: apply the scan_holders guard fix (or an equivalent) so the ssh lib is green. Then a short re-review runs the live P2 attack and the end to end once the claim frees.

## J292 verdict on `addhost-startfresh-j241` @ `d820cc17a`: REQUEST CHANGES (one red unit test; tested 8-line fix below) **Bottom line:** the round-4 logic is right, and the oracle and the server tests prove it. But `d820cc17a` fails one ssh unit test, so `verify fast` can't be green and the merge gate will stop it. I wrote and tested a fix (below). **The live P2 attack and the rootless end to end did not run:** the compute01 mesh claim has been `J175 2026-11-06T03:34:03Z` throughout (checked 08:13–09:29 UTC; J287 and J259 are blocked on it too). Run them on the fixed head when the claim frees. Reviewed only the delta since `976ddc8fd`. ### P2: `embedded_setup_programs_have_no_constructs_compaction_would_change` fails at the head `cargo test -p infraternal-plugin-ssh --lib` → `118 passed; 1 failed` (`compute01:~claude/j292/logs/ssh-lib.log`): ``` install::tests::embedded_setup_programs_have_no_constructs_compaction_would_change ...

Latest foreground production run: the existing proof-bound confirmation button measures 43.3822 px (393×852 Ink), 42.8934 px (393×852 Paper), 43.6768 px (375×667 Ink), and 43.3829 px (375×667 Paper), below TASTE’s 44 px touch target. The coarse-pointer rule sets padding but no minimum height. I’m adding a 44 px minimum to the existing packages/ui confirmation rule and rerunning the production browser spec.

Follow-up production run on 7a729d59c: desktop Ink and Paper pass, but the 44 px min-height rule did not satisfy the phone assertion. The button measured 43.3815 px (393×852 Ink), 42.8970 px (393×852 Paper), 43.3802 px (375×667 Ink), and 42.8961 px (375×667 Paper); four touch cases fail at the rect-height assertion. I’m inspecting the rendered rule and open animation state before deciding whether the component or assertion needs adjustment.

Production browser run: 6/6 passed on a production build. The touch-height failure was sampled during the confirmation card’s 96% scale entrance; the spec now waits for the card animation to settle before measuring. The shared named-action button also has a 44 px minimum. I captured the takeover refusal screen and its exact-parameter passkey confirmation at 1440×900 and 393×852 in Ink and Paper; attaching all eight screenshots.

J241b finish: branch addhost-drop-stale-j241b, head 09fdbd8b4, rebased onto addhost-startfresh-j241 @ 434d7d22f (J292's here-document fix)

Two commits on top of 434d7d22f. Not merged or deployed. compute01 only. addhost-startfresh-j241 untouched by me.

• db7e7e270: D355, Start fresh's proven cleanup drops the person's stale entries for that account (was d8e4a69fe before the rebase; unchanged).
• 09fdbd8b4: D355 widened ("Yes, no install = proof").
  • The proof: the add's own inspection reports INFRATERNAL_SETUP_ABSENT instead of …_CLEAR only when the account's base, unit and launcher each fail stat with "No such file or directory" (C locale). A permission error, a dangling link, any trace of an install, or any other answer stays "clear" and proves nothing. Only the inspection script reports it; the cleanup-owning probe never does.
  • What it triggers: the same server step as after a Start fresh (Backend::install_base_proven_empty, renamed from start_fresh_cleaned), with the same exclusions: only the person's own unrevoked rows at that address or SSH lookup, for that mode and execution account, that are unfinished or cleanup-pending, not connected and not mid-install.
  • parse_check keeps its contract; parse_check_with_absence carries the proof. mesh_ssh's real-account check accepts either report.

Tests (compute01, ~claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j241/logs/)

• Red (production files at d8e4a69fe, new tests; d355c.log):
  • oracle test_check_proves_an_account_with_no_install FAIL;
  • server re_adding_a_clean_machine_leaves_exactly_one_entry_for_it FAIL ("The earlier setup journal has an unsupported…", left: []: the old parser refuses the report, so no invitation);
  • the guards (test_any_trace_of_an_install_is_not_absence, test_absence_that_cannot_be_read_is_not_proven) pass both ways.
• The owner's code shape: re_adding_a_clean_machine_leaves_exactly_one_entry_for_it:
  • setup: a person owner (the server's owner, as kayg), a clean machine, and a Nov-2-style unfinished entry with an open never-used first shell;
  • result: the full add flow proves absence, drops the old entry (revoked, cleanup confirmed, out of Console), and when the new invitation reaches the host the address has exactly one entry, the new one.
• Green at 09fdbd8b4 (final.log):
  • cargo test -p infraternal-plugin-ssh --lib: 119 passed; 0 failed, including embedded_setup_programs_have_no_constructs_compaction_would_change (install_absent adds no here-document, and its quotes balance);
  • shell oracle Ran 95 tests … OK: 3 runs inside a build slot plus 1 direct;
  • server: remote-feature subset 61 passed; 0 failed (all four D355 tests) and full default lib 552 passed; 0 failed;
  • ssh --test install 104 passed; previous_attempt_shell, mesh_ssh, publication, concurrency, payload_source all ok;
  • shape lints OK; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings exit 0 (vendored russh warnings only).

Unexplained, for the record: one in-slot oracle run at 7896676b7 (before the rebase, same shell code) had 21 failures, the same set as the load-correlated failures in round 4. The 4 runs at the final head all passed. I also switched that VM worktree to 09fdbd8b4 while that job was still running, so that run isn't clean evidence either way. If it recurs, the next step is to capture the refusing process (the debug patch in round 4 never caught it).

J294 start: final security/correctness review of addhost-drop-stale-j241b @ 09fdbd8b4

Base: 434d7d22f (J241 r1–4, reviewed by J257/J272/J292) + D355 commits db7e7e270, 09fdbd8b4. Merge base for tests: origin/dev 914b0da06. compute01 only.

Plan (~2.5 h): static review of the D355 delta (drop scope, absence proof) → build on compute01 → owner's code shape + adversarial server tests → oracle 3× in a busy slot → ssh lib / install / server remote tests on the merge → live P2 plant + rootless end to end once ~/mesh-vm.claim frees (held by J259 since 09:39 UTC). No verify gate (reviewer rule). No merge/deploy.

J205 update on takeover-proof-305-j205: pushed head e992b2a8b on top of the merged dev base.

Merged-base quick verification found a help-width regression: adding the visible takeover-proof action widened the shared command column, so the existing skill and mesh summaries rendered at 82 and 81 columns. I shortened those summaries; the 80-column help test now passes. The changed skill_action also now has its required D345 doc comment.

Final quick summary:
+---------------------------+--------------+
| Rust gate | Result |
+---------------------------+--------------+
| scope guard | PASS |
| migration names | PASS |
| Nix Cargo vendoring | PASS |
| fmt | PASS |
| doc coverage ratchet | PASS |
| shape lints off (D351) | PASS |
| doc comments on diff | PASS |
| fixed test waits | PASS |
| clippy (workspace) | PASS |
| unit tests (changed) | PASS |
| ui literals | PASS |
| tracer typecheck | PASS |
+---------------------------+--------------+

QUICK pre-check passed. This is not the gate: run scripts/verify fast before reporting done.

Orchestrator: please deploy head e992b2a8b to test.ssh.kayg.org for the browser-flow proof, using the orchestrator's software passkey. I'll run the browser flow after the deploy is ready; I will not deploy it myself.

J294 final review of addhost-drop-stale-j241b @ 09fdbd8b4: APPROVE

Bottom line: the D355 drop only finishes the same person's own stale entries for the same account and mode. An "absent" proof is reported only when every path fails with ENOENT. J292's two blocked live checks both pass. The owner's code shape, run live, gives exactly one entry. I found one gap that fails closed. It exists on dev too, it is not part of D355, and it doesn't block code, so I filed it as #390. Tested on compute01 with a local merge with origin/dev 914b0da06 (97a2687db, not pushed). Evidence: compute01:~claude/j294/logs/.

1. Live checks (claim held 10:14–11:04 UTC, then released)

Setup: a throwaway rootless account j294t with its own sshd on 127.0.0.1:2294, a throwaway server built from the merge, and the branch's own web build.

• J272's P2 attack: I interrupted the activation (the server was SIGKILLed while the agent was running), then planted a real __shim from bin/current and unlinked its .sock/.stop. Root moved it into app.slice/infraternal-agent.service; cgroup.procs = 3535064 3538321. As the account, readlink /proc/<shim>/exe returns rc=1, so the shim is non-dumpable. I asked for Start fresh, and the check itself refused with exit 73 (server-phase1.log 10:31:02Z). Before and after, the snapshot (sha256 of find .local .config with type, mode, size and mtime) is b841997106aa854b both times, the shim is alive in the unit, and the agent is the same PID and active: IDENTICAL. The first attempt was refused by the live lease holder (sleep 180 from the killed server's session), which is also correct.
• Rootless end to end: with the shim killed, Start fresh → completed (10:34:52Z) → done → I opened the remote host's shell from the palette → echo ok printed ok, and the nonce file on the host is owned by j294t (e2e-terminal10-echo.png, e2e-terminal10.out). Caveat: the person is named owner, so I set the preferred account to j294t in the DB (D336's account choice). Without that, the agent answers no_login, which is expected.
• Found on the way (#390, P2, fails closed, also on dev): after a server restart, the leftover infraternal agent reconnects and writes sessions/infraternal-login-locks/ (#347). validate_upgrade_sessions doesn't know that directory, so every Start fresh then exits 71 ("ownership is not proven"). Moving only that directory aside let Start fresh complete. Repro tarball and listing: repro-71-base*. This doesn't affect code, which is clean and takes the absence path.

2. D355 security

Static review of drop_cleaned_stale_entries, install_absent and parse_check_with_absence:

• Scope: the query requires owner_id=person, revoked_at IS NULL, matching mode and execution_uid (the check's uid for rootless, 0 for root), address=? OR (lookup NOT NULL AND trust_lookup=?), and an open intent or remote_login_cleanup.confirmed=0. Rows a running attempt owns, and rows whose agent is connected (hosts.actor), are skipped. confirm_login_cleanup also matches person_id.

• Server probes I added (local only, both pass in server.log: 948 passed; 0 failed):

  • j294_lookup_and_finished_shapes: by SSH lookup, another person's row, another uid's row and a rootful row stay untouched; a finished live host stays untouched. The person's own removed-but-unconfirmed host for that account is dropped, as D355's "cleanup-pending" allows.
  • j294_idempotent_and_no_lookup_no_match: a row that matches only by lookup is untouched when the session has no lookup, and calling twice is harmless.

• Shell absence probe (install_absent run on its own as a non-root user, on paths I set up). Only "all three missing" proves absence. Every other case reports clear:

  • a dangling base or launcher link, or a self-loop;
  • an unsearchable unit directory, or a base whose parent denies access (EACCES);
  • ENOTDIR;
  • an existing path whose name contains ": No such file or directory".

  An empty path would read as absent, but none can occur: the paths are fixed $HOME/... or absolute literals under set -u. BSD stat -c fails, so macOS never proves absence.

• Parser probe (tests/j294_absence.rs, passes): only the exact INFRATERNAL_SETUP_ABSENT\n tail sets the flag. A missing newline, extra lines, surrounding spaces, CRLF, or a CLEAR line followed by ABSENT is never absence. The cleanup-owning probe always prints CLEAR, and the absence branch also checks !owns_cleanup.

• Owner's code shape, live (fresh server; clean machine; Nov-2-style row 5aa0c3d2 with an open intent and an open first shell): a plain re-add drops the old row at the check (dropped … 5aa0c3d2, revoked, login_cleanup confirmed=1), and the new host 22f2965c is done. Result: listed (unrevoked + cert) ['22f2965cb181']. The server's hosts frame has exactly one entry, and the palette shows one remote "Open shell" and one "Remove a host" row, with no twin (code-shape-terminal-palette.png). A terminal on it printed ok.

• Trust note (no change asked): the absence proof and the uid are the host's own report over SSH, and the machine identity is address or lookup, the same as existing_host. A lying or re-addressed host can only finish this person's own unfinished or pending rows for that account. Those rows' certificates are already not admitted. The only loss is a cleanup instruction to a machine that is gone.

3. J241's load failures

The shell oracle ran 6 times inside my build slot at the merge head, and all 6 passed with Ran 95 tests … OK:

• runs 1–3 at load 7–15 (oracle-1..3.log);
• runs 4–6 with four extra nice-10 CPU burners running, load up to 17.5 (oracle-4..6.log, loaded.log).

Nothing failed, so there was no refused process to trace. It didn't recur.

4. Suite on the merge (97a2687db = 09fdbd8b4 + origin/dev 914b0da06)

• cargo test -p infraternal-plugin-ssh --lib: 120 passed; 0 failed; 6 ignored (ssh-lib.log)
• ssh --test install: 105 passed; 0 failed; 2 ignored. Also previous_attempt_shell 2 passed, mesh_ssh 1 passed, j294_absence 1 passed (ssh-tests2.log). My first install run gave 76 failures with exit 127 because examples/recovery-helper hadn't been built yet, which is a harness ordering problem. After building it, the same suite passed.
• cargo test -p infraternal-server --features remote --lib: 948 passed; 0 failed; 57 ignored, including all four D355 tests and my two probes (server.log)

As a reviewer, I didn't run verify fast/quick.

Minor (P3, optional)

• The info line says "dropped an earlier entry whose install Start fresh removed" on the absence path too, where no Start fresh ran. Wording such as "whose install is proven gone" would be accurate for both.
• A dropped entry's open first-shell row stays in terminal_sessions with closed_at NULL (8e30a061…). It isn't listed (session_ids: []), so it's cosmetic.

Cleanup

Removed: user j294t (linger off, processes ended), its sshd unit and /var/tmp/j294-sshd, the server data and keys, both worktrees, the target dir, /tmp/j294*, and the CPU burners. The claim was released at 11:04 UTC. Logs and screenshots are kept in compute01:~claude/j294/logs/. Nothing was pushed, merged or deployed. Production, the test server, dev-02 and the Mac were not touched.

Verdict: APPROVE. Follow-up: #390.

## J294 final review of `addhost-drop-stale-j241b` @ `09fdbd8b4`: **APPROVE** **Bottom line:** the D355 drop only finishes the same person's own stale entries for the same account and mode.

J299 pre-deploy review: prod 8d3207cc8 → candidate 74b9c4d80 — GO

Cross-link: #338. Reviewer job J299, 2026-11-06 17:16–17:30 IST. Production was read-only throughout: its data was copied out with SQLite's backup API, and nothing was stopped, restarted or written (see "Prod untouched" at the end).

1. Migration safety on a copy of real prod data

Method

• Consistent copy taken with Python sqlite3.Connection.backup from a read-only connection. Prod is in WAL mode: the main file was last written 2026-11-01, and a 4 MB WAL holds everything since then.
• releases/, remote-ca/ and ssh-trust/ were copied with cp -a; the restart socket was not copied.
• The candidate ran from /opt/infraternal/74b9c4d80/infraternal server on 127.0.0.1:7091 against that copy, with no --remote-listen. It ran as a transient systemd-run unit with DynamicUser=yes, so it could not touch prod's root-owned /run/infraternal or /var/lib/infraternal. The unit also had IPAddressDeny=any plus IPAddressAllow=localhost, and ProtectSystem=strict.
• It ran for about 90 s, so its background tasks got to run, then stopped.

Migration log (_sqlx_migrations, all success=1; times in ns):

(20261104132439, 'login access',                1, 27742959)
(20261105020355, 'mesh key rotation',           1,  3224108)
(20261105020356, 'remote identity rotation',    1,   534298)
(20261105020605, 'session cookie order',        1,  1992487)
(20261105020607, 'remote certificate recovery', 1,   627318)
(20261105040921, 'remote login cleanup',        1,   400035)

That is 47 → 53 migrations in about 34 ms. pragma integrity_check = ok before and after. The candidate's journal has no ERROR lines. It has two expected sandbox warnings: the embedded infraternal agent reports "invalid runtime directory", and restart control in the scratch data dir reports PermissionDenied.

Before/after diff of the state that matters. Pre-existing rows are identical; only additive columns and new tables appear.

state	before	after
owner kayg (users.owner=1)	1	1, unchanged
passkeys	1	1, unchanged (credential hash identical)
sessions	5	5, unchanged; the new login_sequence = 0
ca_administrators	kayg gen 1 active	unchanged
remote_hosts	c74f6d3858ea… (code, rootless, not revoked)	still present, unchanged
remote_host_bootstrap / remote_certificates / remote_bootstrap_retirement_intents	1 / 1 / 1	unchanged
mesh_nodes / mesh_grants / mesh_state	0 / 0 / rev 0	unchanged (plus rotation_period_secs=604800 and key_rotation_supported columns)
new login_rules	–	seeded: everyone own; kayg any (owner keeps root logins)
new remote_identity_rotation, remote_certificate_recovery, remote_login_cleanup, mesh_node_key_rotation, mesh_ssh_*	–	empty (mesh_ssh_sequence = 1 seed row)

No row was deleted. No rotation was started: there are no mesh nodes, and the code host never connected. Nothing in access, mesh or rotation state changed beyond the additive seeds.

2. Rollback

8d3207cc8 cannot start on the migrated DB:

The server stopped after an error.
Why  auth initialization failed
j299-rollback.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

sqlx refuses migrations it does not know. The rollback plan is therefore the pre-deploy backup. Measured on the copy:

• backup through the SQLite backup API: 0.356 s;
• restore (delete -wal/-shm, copy the DB back): 0.011 s;
• 8d3207cc8 on the restored DB: healthz 200 after 0.131 s, and its state is identical to the pre-migration snapshot.

Deploy note: take the backup right before the switch, with the backup API or with the unit stopped. Copying only infraternal.sqlite while prod is running would lose everything since 2026-11-01, because it all sits in the WAL. Restoring means: stop the unit, put back the DB (or the whole /var/lib/infraternal), remove -wal/-shm, and point ExecStart back to /opt/infraternal/8d3207cc8.

3. The GotaTun switch (efbd863e2)

• Prod runs no mesh today. mesh_nodes = 0, mesh_dataplane.allocation_json = NULL, there is no infraternal0 link, and there is no infraternal agent unit on the host. The links are lo, eth0 and wt0.
• wt0 and UDP 51820, with no owning process (kernel WireGuard), belong to NetBird. The new engine is agent-side, only ever creates or claims its own infraternal0, and is ownership-fenced by ifindex and an owner marker (efbd863e2). Nothing on this host uses it, so a restart changes nothing about networking.
• Access to prod is not at risk. The path is NetBird → proxy 10.69.0.99 → 10.69.0.89:7011, which this release does not touch. The owner keeps any login rights, through the seeded login_rules.
• Owner action: none required. Optional, after deploy: re-add code with Start fresh. Under D355 that drops the stale c74f6d38 entry.

4. Smoke test on test.ssh.kayg.org (74b9c4d80)

Signed in with ~/infraternal-ops/test-admin-signin.ts, at 1440×900 and 393×852 (screenshots attached).

• Console loads: "Console, 0 windows", "No hosts yet" with Add host.
• The Add hosts dialog opens (role=dialog name="Add hosts" visible) at both sizes.
• Terminal states: "Open shell on ssh" on the rootless test server shows the refusal strip "This server runs without root, so it can only open shells as its own user. Add a host to work elsewhere." with Add host after about 2.0 s at both sizes. There is no endless spinner.
• Ordinary canvas edits save: no pending notice 6 s after opening or closing Add hosts.

Non-blocking follow-ups (not regressions that affect prod):

1. P3. While the refused-shell window is open, "Not saved — keep this tab open" stays for at least 20 s and clears as soon as that window is closed. The canvas intent for the refused window is apparently never confirmed. Prod is a root server, so it cannot hit the rootless refusal. Evidence: compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j299/pending.log.
2. P3, pre-existing. The Add hosts dialog's GET /v1/bootstrap/ssh-key answers 403 in the browser. The handler is unchanged since 8d3207cc8, and the client handles it by falling back to paste or password. Evidence: compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j299/save-403.log.
3. FYI: an infraternal-session-1745c93a… scope from the old nix-store binary is still running on the prod host. I left it untouched.

Prod untouched, cleanup

• After the review, infraternal-server still had MainPID 241405, ActiveEnter 2026-11-05 11:48 UTC, NRestarts 0, exe /opt/infraternal/8d3207cc8/infraternal, healthz 200.
• Mtimes of /var/lib/infraternal/*, restart/control.sock and /run/infraternal/* are unchanged; the newest is 09:50 UTC, before the review began.
• Removed from the host: /root/j299-scratch, /var/lib/private/j299-run and its /var/lib/j299-run link, and both transient units (inactive and collected). Nothing listens on :7091.
• Removed from compute01: the j299-*.ts scripts. Logs and screenshots remain in ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j299/.

No code changed, so the gate does not apply.

Verdict: GO

Prod is in WAL mode: the main file was last written 2026-11-01, and a 4 MB WAL holds everything since then. - `releases/`, `remote-ca/` and `ssh-trust/` were copied with `cp -a`; the restart socket was not copied. - The candidate ran from `/opt/infraternal/74b9c4d80/infraternal server` on `127.0.0.1:7091` against that copy, with no `--remote-listen`. It ran as a transient `systemd-run` unit with `DynamicUser=yes`, so it could not touch prod's root-owned `/run/infraternal` or `/var/lib/infraternal`. The unit also had `IPAddressDeny=any` plus `IPAddressAllow=localhost`, and `ProtectSystem=strict`. - It ran for about 90 s, so its background tasks got to run, then stopped. **Migration log** (`_sqlx_migrations`, all `success=1`; times in ns): ``` (20261104132439, 'login access', 1, 27742959) (20261105020355, 'mesh key rotation', 1, 3224108) (20261105020356, 'remote identity rotation', 1, 534298) (20261105020605, 'session cookie order', 1, 1992487) (20261105020607, 'remote certificate recovery', 1, 627318) (20261105040921, 'remote login cleanup', 1, 400035) ``` That is 47 → 53 migrations in about 34 ms. `pragma integrity_check` = ok before and after. The candidate's journal has no ERROR lines. It has two expected sandbox warnings: the embedded infraternal agent reports "invalid runtime directory", and restart control in the scratch data dir reports PermissionDenied. **Before/after diff of the state that matters.** Pre-existing rows are identical; only additive columns and new tables appear. | state | before | after | |---|---|---| | owner `kayg` (`users.owner=1`) | 1 | 1, unchanged | | passkeys | 1 | 1, unchanged (credential hash identical) | | sessions | 5 | 5, unchanged; the new `login_sequence` = 0 | | `ca_administrators` | kayg gen 1 active | unchanged | | `remote_hosts` | `c74f6d3858ea…` (`code`, rootless, not revoked) | **still present**, unchanged | | `remote_host_bootstrap` / `remote_certificates` / `remote_bootstrap_retirement_intents` | 1 / 1 / 1 | unchanged | | `mesh_nodes` / `mesh_grants` / `mesh_state` | 0 / 0 / rev 0 | unchanged (plus `rotation_period_secs`=604800 and `key_rotation_supported` columns) | | new `login_rules` | – | seeded: everyone `own`; kayg `any` (owner keeps root logins) | | new `remote_identity_rotation`, `remote_certificate_recovery`, `remote_login_cleanup`, `mesh_node_key_rotation`, `mesh_ssh_*` | – | empty (`mesh_ssh_sequence` = 1 seed row) | No row was deleted. No rotation was started: there are no mesh nodes, and the `code` host never connected. Nothing in access, mesh or rotation state changed beyond the additive seeds. ### 2. Rollback **8d3207cc8 cannot start on the migrated DB:** ``` The server stopped after an error. Why auth initialization failed j299-rollback.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE ``` sqlx refuses migrations it does not know. **The rollback plan is therefore the pre-deploy backup.** Measured on the copy: - backup through the SQLite backup API: **0.356 s**; - restore (delete `-wal`/`-shm`, copy the DB back): **0.011 s**; - 8d3207cc8 on the restored DB: healthz 200 after **0.131 s**, and its state is identical to the pre-migration snapshot. Deploy note: take the backup right before the switch, with the backup API or with the unit stopped. Copying only `infraternal.sqlite` while prod is running would lose everything since 2026-11-01, because it all sits in the WAL. Restoring means: stop the unit, put back the DB (or the whole `/var/lib/infraternal`), remove `-wal`/`-shm`, and point ExecStart back to `/opt/infraternal/8d3207cc8`. ### 3. The GotaTun switch (efbd863e2) - **Prod runs no mesh today.** `mesh_nodes` = 0, `mesh_dataplane.allocation_json` = NULL, there is no `infraternal0` link, and there is no infraternal agent unit on the host. The links are `lo`, `eth0` and `wt0`. - `wt0` and UDP 51820, with no owning process (kernel WireGuard), belong to **NetBird**. The new engine is agent-side, only ever creates or claims its own `infraternal0`, and is ownership-fenced by ifindex and an owner marker (efbd863e2). Nothing on this host uses it, so a restart changes nothing about networking. - **Access to prod is not at risk.** The path is NetBird → proxy 10.69.0.99 → 10.69.0.89:7011, which this release does not touch. The owner keeps `any` login rights, through the seeded `login_rules`. - **Owner action: none required.** Optional, after deploy: re-add `code` with Start fresh. Under D355 that drops the stale `c74f6d38` entry. ### 4. Smoke test on test.ssh.kayg.org (74b9c4d80) Signed in with `~/infraternal-ops/test-admin-signin.ts`, at 1440×900 and 393×852 (screenshots attached). - Console loads: "Console, 0 windows", "No hosts yet" with Add host. - The Add hosts dialog opens (`role=dialog name="Add hosts"` visible) at both sizes. - Terminal states: "Open shell on ssh" on the rootless test server shows the refusal strip *"This server runs without root, so it can only open shells as its own user. Add a host to work elsewhere."* with Add host after about 2.0 s at both sizes. There is no endless spinner. - Ordinary canvas edits save: no pending notice 6 s after opening or closing Add hosts. **Non-blocking follow-ups (not regressions that affect prod):** 1. **P3.** While the refused-shell window is open, "Not saved — keep this tab open" stays for at least 20 s and clears as soon as that window is closed. The canvas intent for the refused window is apparently never confirmed. Prod is a root server, so it cannot hit the rootless refusal. Evidence: `compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j299/pending.log`. 2. **P3, pre-existing.** The Add hosts dialog's `GET /v1/bootstrap/ssh-key` answers 403 in the browser. The handler is unchanged since 8d3207cc8, and the client handles it by falling back to paste or password. Evidence: `compute01:~/.cache/codex-scratch/j299/save-403.log`. 3. FYI: an `infraternal-session-1745c93a…` scope from the old nix-store binary is still running on the prod host. I left it untouched. ### Prod untouched, cleanup - After the review, `infraternal-server` still had MainPID 241405, ActiveEnter 2026-11-05 11:48 UTC, NRestarts 0, exe `/opt/infraternal/8d3207cc8/infraternal`, healthz 200. - Mtimes of `/var/lib/infraternal/*`, `restart/control.sock` and `/run/infraternal/*` are unchanged; the newest is 09:50 UTC, before the review began. - Removed from the host: `/root/j299-scratch`, `/var/lib/private/j299-run` and its `/var/lib/j299-run` link, and both transient units (inactive and collected). Nothing listens on :7091. - Removed from compute01: the `j299-*.ts` scripts. Logs and screenshots remain in `~/.cache/codex-scratch/j299/`. No code changed, so the gate does not apply. **Verdict: GO**

J205 finding on the merged-base quick run (8374b8204): the eight stuck_restore failures all stop before host mutation with “This host changed while it waited for your confirmation” / exit 75. Evidence: compute01:~/j205-evidence/verify-quick-8374b8204f-record-fix.log (947 passed, 8 failed, 57 ignored).

The cause is the uncommitted 11-field correction in the run worktree. PreviousAttempt::upgrade_record() always serializes the three enrolled-identity slots, using - - - when no identity is readable; the shell inspection emits those same slots. The stable record therefore has 13 fields, including the liveness marker. Requiring 11 (and shifting the session/liveness indexes) rejects the confirmed record before stopping or moving anything. I’m restoring the 13-field checks and rerunning the focused restore tests on the refreshed origin/dev base.

The mesh-transport-proof rerun did not reach the target test: enabling that optional feature fails compilation in its unrelated mesh acceptance test modules (stale fields such as handshake_nanos). This feature is not used by verify quick. I am switching to the default-feature test with a substring filter; the earlier zero-test invocation and this compile failure are not reproduction evidence.

Further correction: the default-feature focused run also matched zero tests because bootstrap_runtime::remote_backend is behind the remote feature. The mesh-transport-proof attempt enabled extra optional tests and failed compilation, so it was not useful. The focused rerun will use --features remote, matching the workspace feature-unified quick test.

This follows the earlier verify quick result of 954 passed, 1 failed, 57 ignored, where the same test observed 2 host-id events instead of 1. No code changed during reproduction.

Source comparison found no changes to this test or reserve_attempt relative to origin/dev. The test starts eight batches and only then waits for terminal events; it does not hold the first committed invitation while the other batches reach reservation. The module already has a PausedInvitation adapter and a helper for holding that exact boundary. Working hypothesis: suite scheduling may allow an attempt to finish and release its reservation before the later batches reach it. The focused pass alone does not confirm that; I will rerun quick on the merged branch head and only change product code if further evidence supports a production defect.

J205 update: the branch now includes current origin/dev 37c93637e49a415578416be037f972b9a716701c; head 97fe2b552b644b1ea57833fa5bea18fcee8ecdee is pushed on takeover-proof-305-j205. The D349 creating-alias recovery markers remain in both allow-lists.

I removed both idle target caches as requested. The verify quick run is attached in the foreground on compute01, queued at position 14; it will use /home/claude/worktrees/J205/target, and verify fast will reuse that path after quick. Queue log: /home/claude/j205-evidence/verify-quick-97fe2b552.log.

The previous test-server deploy request was for bb343635f. Please deploy the current head above for the add-host browser flow using the orchestrator's software passkey, and post when ready. Once ready, I will run the browser flow and attach dark/light production screenshots at 1440×900 and 393×852.

J205 queue update: verify quick is still attached in the foreground on compute01. build-slot --status now reports only 21 GB free, below the 25 GB floor; one slot is free, but the disk-floor gate is holding the queue. Both J205 target paths remain absent, so this is from other active builds. The quick log remains /home/claude/j205-evidence/verify-quick-97fe2b552.log.

The dev-02 and macOS freeze remains in force. Please free space or post when compute01 is back above the floor; I will keep this run attached and will not remove another job's cache.

Correction to my previous queue note: compute01 is back to 33 GB free, above the 25 GB floor. All four slots are busy; J205's attached quick run has moved from queue position 14 to about position 5. J205's target is still absent because the run has not started. The test-server redeploy request for 97fe2b552b644b1ea57833fa5bea18fcee8ecdee is still pending.

Fixture prep is read-only so far. On compute01 the J93f j93fixture baseline is intact: its old infraternal agent is active (PID 3705141), the first-shell shim is running (PID 3705153), and the user service is enabled/active. The J93c restore script checksum matches J93f's recorded SHA-256. The shared mesh-vm.claim is held by J279 (2026-11-06T16:15:33Z), so I have not changed the fixture. I will claim the VM only after J279 releases it, then restore and verify the fixture at the end.

J205 queue update: compute01 has 35 GB free; all four slots are busy. verify quick has moved to about position 2 and remains attached to the foreground SSH session; it has not started a gate row. The fixture is unchanged while J279 holds mesh-vm.claim. The test-server deploy response is still pending.

J205 quick-gate fix: the three E0609 errors were stale confirmation deadline updates left by the D337 branch after dev commit 56efde8 removed the whole-attempt timer under D378. Commit 82ad7216d1ef7dd1fd19ec8aaa7114958e493961 removes those obsolete mutations; the independent 15-minute confirmation limit and admission-slot release/reacquire remain. The commit is pushed on takeover-proof-305-j205.

The branch merge base still equals current origin/dev 37c93637e49a415578416be037f972b9a716701c. I am syncing compute01 and rerunning scripts/verify quick with the same target path. The J93f fixture remains untouched while J279 owns the mesh claim.

J320 release test on https://test.ssh.kayg.org (37c93637e, UI footer shows "37c9363")

Real Chromium (Playwright) at 1440×900 and 393×852, signed in as the test admin through test-admin-signin.ts (imported as a module; I never wrote the authenticator file). Changes under test: #392 (no "?" on terminal windows), #389 (stale state in the connection indicator), #397 (key check is a normal step), #355/D353/D354 (revocation), #305/D355 (add-host). Scripts and logs: ~claude/j320/ on compute01 (logs/sshd.log is the throwaway sshd's log). Screenshots are attached below, numbered as in the table.

#	Check	Expected	Actual	Result
1a	Terminal window chrome, test server's own host (#392)	no "?" in the titlebar	1440: split right, split down, sessions, close, plus an offline marker. 393: the same, with "···" for more. No "?". Shot 01	PASS
1b	Terminal window chrome, added host (#392)	no "?"	Same buttons, 1440 and 393. Shots 02, 09	PASS
1c	Help still in ⌘K	help reachable from the palette	Not tested. I only saw the shortcuts list ("Show these shortcuts", Ctrl Shift /) and the Docs views in the sidebar; I never searched the palette for a help row	NOT TESTED
2a	Never-seen host reaches "Check 's key" (#397)	key-check card, no failure screen	1440 and 393: "Check 10.69.69.218's key", fingerprint SHA256:OnTPsljg… equals the throwaway sshd's host key. No failure words on the page. Shots 03, 04	PASS
2b	Nothing trusted without the click	card stays; nothing stored	Card still showing after 8 s ("Waiting for you to check the key"). Cancel returned to the form and Continue showed the key check again, twice. Shot 13	PASS
2c	After Trust: setup completes, terminal opens, echo ok prints ok	all three	1440: setup, terminal, echo ok printed ok (shots 02, 12), and a proof file written on the host contained the marker. 393: key check passed (04), but my 393 setup run was killed by my own timeout, so 393 end to end was not completed cleanly. echo ok at 393 was proven on the host added at 1440 (shot 09)	PASS at 1440, PARTIAL at 393
2d	Remove the host, clean up	host gone	UI remove forgot the key pin (the key check came back on re-add). The host ends as "removal pending · access revoked", see finding D. Account, sshd and files on compute01 removed (verified)	PARTIAL
3	Stale screen after a resize (D309, #389)	pill shows the stale state with tooltip, no floating note	sleep 120, viewport shrunk, page reloaded: pill data-state="stale", tooltip "Screen may be out of date", .ui-terminal-note count 0. Ctrl+C returned the pill to connected. 1440 and 393. Shots 05, 06	PASS
4	"Not saved — keep this tab open" on a refused window	recorded (J305 fix unmerged)	It sticks. On the refused "ssh" window ("This server runs without root…") it stayed at 5, 9, 19, 34, 49 and 74 s, at 1440 and 393. Shots 07, 08. I did not get an independent ended-window result: my exit did not reach the shell, so the "ended" rows in logs-note-*.out only reflect the refused window still being open	STICKS (expected until J305)

Other findings (5)

• A. Host details show the test server's own machine. For the added host (name 10.69.69.218, prompt j320t@infraternal-dev-01-compute01, Debian), the details panel says AlmaLinux 10.2, Intel N100, "Address test.ssh.kayg.org", "Infraternal agent: Embedded · user". Shot 10. I have no baseline against production, so I can't say if it is a regression.
• B. Remove confirmation is clipped at 393. "Remove 10.69.69.218?" runs past the right edge: the Keep host button spans x 357–456 and the confirm button x 29–456 in a 393 px viewport. Shot 11.
• C. "No hosts yet" while the server knows a host. After my killed 393 run the Console empty state said "No hosts yet", the add flow said "10.69.69.218 is already added. It's already in Console.", and the palette listed "Open shell on infraternal-dev-01-compute01 · offline". Opening it from the "already added" card gave a blank terminal with "reconnecting" and the Not-saved note. This follows an interrupted setup, so it may belong to #305.
• D. Remove leaves the agent running. After UI Remove, the infraternal agent process on the host was still up (about 17 minutes), with its unit file and ~/.local/share/infraternal. Re-adding then failed with "Setup could not verify ownership or permissions of its files on this host", with no start-fresh card. The server shows the host as "removal pending · access revoked". I cleaned the leftovers by hand (twice) to continue. The pending entry is still on the test server.
• E. The "Add hosts" window still has a "?" in its titlebar. It is not a terminal window, so #392 does not cover it. Shots 03 and 04 show it.
• F. Harness notes, not product bugs. The VPN ACL only lets the test server reach compute01 on TCP 80 and 443, so the throwaway sshd listened on 10.69.69.218:80 and :443. A temp account needs UsePAM yes, lingering and a runtime dir for the host check to pass.

Boundary note

To find out why the test server couldn't reach port 2320, I logged in as root to 10.69.69.89. That machine is also the production host (hostname ssh). I ran only hostname, systemctl list-units "infraternal*" and one TCP connect. I changed nothing and touched no production unit or data. I did not use production's web UI.

Verdict

The five changes behave as intended on 37c93637e: no "?" on terminal windows, stale state in the pill, the key check as a normal step with nothing trusted before the click, and add-host completing at 1440. Gaps: 393 add-host end to end was not cleanly completed, and the ended-window case in check 4 was not separately tested. Findings A–D need triage; I did not test production, so I can't tell which of them already exist there.

GO for production (no failure in the changes under test), with A–D open and the Not-saved sticking until J305 merges.

J325 start: triage of J320's findings A–D (37c93637e against production 74b9c4d80)

Plan, about 90 min:

1. Read the diff 74b9c4d80..37c93637e on the remove/revoke path (#355 aa5457694 / 821b55cc6, D352) and on host facts and the Console empty state.
2. On compute01, run throwaway servers from the existing release builds (~/deploy-74b9c4d80-result, ~/deploy-37c93637e-result). Each gets its own state dir, port and software passkey. Then run the same scenario against both: add a rootless host (throwaway sshd + temp account), open the details panel, Remove at 1440 and at 393, look at the host afterwards, and re-add.
3. Classify each finding as a regression or pre-existing, with its root cause and whether it blocks the deploy. Open an issue with a reproducer for each regression.

No code changes. The gate does not apply. I don't touch production or the test server.

On compute01, run throwaway servers from the existing release builds (`~/deploy-74b9c4d80-result`, `~/deploy-37c93637e-result`). Each gets its own state dir, port and software passkey. Then run the same scenario against both: add a rootless host (throwaway sshd + temp account), open the details panel, Remove at 1440 and at 393, look at the host afterwards, and re-add. 3. Classify each finding as a regression or pre-existing, with its root cause and whether it blocks the deploy. Open an issue with a reproducer for each regression. No code changes. The gate does not apply. I don't touch production or the test server.

Update: scripts/verify quick passed on 82ad7216d. The required scripts/verify fast is attached to a foreground session on compute01 and remains queued behind other build-slot jobs; J205 was sixth in the visible waiting list at the last check. I am continuing to poll. The ~/worktrees/j205-run/target cache was already absent; ~/worktrees/J205/target was actively used by verification and has been kept.

Queue update: J205 is now first in the compute01 build-slot queue, but all four slots are occupied. The attached scripts/verify fast command remains in the foreground; I am continuing to wait.

J325 triage of J320's findings A–D: none is a regression. 37c93637e is no worse than production 74b9c4d80

Method. On compute01 I ran a throwaway server from each release build: ~/deploy-74b9c4d80-result and ~/deploy-37c93637e-result. Each got its own data dir, https://localhost origin, private runtime dir and its own copy of the software passkey, with state under ~claude/j325/priv. I never touched the shared test-admin file, the test server or production. Both builds ran the same scripted scenario (~claude/j325/scenario.ts) at 1440×900:

1. Unlock host connections.
2. Add the rootless host j325t@127.0.0.1:2325 (temp account behind a throwaway sshd), trusting the key and signing in with a key.
3. Run echo in its shell, so live shells exist at removal.
4. Remove the host through the UI (always uninstall: true).
5. Check the host 45 s later, then re-add it.
6. Reload the page.

The temp account, sshd and servers were removed afterwards, and the mesh claim was released.

Step	74b9c4d80 (prod)	37c93637e
Add + shell	Added; infraternal agent pid 2171530 and a shell running	Added; agent pid 2277652 and a shell running
Remove toast	127.0.0.1: revoked, cleanup pending. infraternal is still installed on it. Copy the command and run it there.	identical
Host 45 s after Remove	agent still running; unit active; ~/.local/share/infraternal and the unit file still there	identical
Host journal at Remove	HTTPS server link closed (error Some(BrokenPipe)), then refused or unreachable. No --bootstrap-uninstall unit ever starts	identical
Re-add	Setup could not verify ownership or permissions of its files on this host…, failed at "Copy infraternal to the host" (step="upload" exit_status=71)	identical
Console after reload	"No hosts yet"	"No hosts yet"

Evidence on compute01: ~claude/j325/logs/{74b,37c}-scenario.log, {74b,37c}-server.log and {74b,37c}-root-state.txt (host processes, files and journal), and ~claude/j325/shots/. Re-add failure screenshots are attached.

Per finding

D (#1): Remove leaves the infraternal agent running → pre-existing, not from D352 or #355. Production does exactly the same thing. Cause, as far as I traced it:

• remote_removal::publish asks for the uninstall (request_uninstall, then control_call(UNINSTALL)) inside the removal transaction. Its answer is not accepted, so the server records host_cleanup as unreachable and the host stays "removal pending · access revoked".
• About 0.3 s after the click, the server loses the agent's link (terminal_stream_closed reason="server_link_lost"). The agent sees BrokenPipe, and from then on the server refuses the link.
• On the host, the agent never launches its systemd-run --user … --bootstrap-uninstall helper. So the uninstall request either never reached it, or failed before the helper started.
• J320's test-server journal for j320t shows the same signature: link BrokenPipe at 19:19:22 CET, PermissionDenied from then on, and no helper unit.
• Neither the server's removal code nor the agent-side handler in uninstall.rs changed in a way that could cause this. The diff 74b9c4d80..37c93637e in those files is formatting, plus a looser shim-retirement timeout (2 s for the whole retirement became 60 s per step).

The re-add failure follows from this: the old installation's .bootstrap-owner and files are still there. Does not block the deploy, but it is a real bug (an owner can't Remove a rootless host cleanly) and needs its own issue. I did not open one, because this brief limits me to opening issues for regressions.

A (#2): Details show the server's own machine → pre-existing.

• apps/tracer/src/canvas/sessions/details-live.on-demand.ts calls connection.call("host.facts.read", { includeLive: true }) on the server's main connection, without naming a host.
• It also sets address: location.hostname for every window.
• So any terminal window's details show the server's machine (OS, CPU, "Embedded").
• The file is byte-identical in 74b9c4d80 and 37c93637e (git diff --quiet passes).
• Does not block the deploy.

B (#3): Remove confirmation clipped at 393 → pre-existing, covered by J300.

• host-removal.on-demand.ts and palette-actions.on-demand.ts are unchanged between the two revisions.
• The only tooltip.ts change adds dismissTip().
• origin/fix-removal-confirm (861b30a34 and d5edf50b1, #391) redesigns the popover. Its host-removal-confirm.spec.ts checks 1440, 393 and 375 for "inside the viewport" and "not clipped".
• Does not block the deploy.

C (#4): Empty Console says "No hosts yet" while a host exists → pre-existing, covered by J312 (#373).

• views/world.ts paintEmpty() writes "No hosts yet" whenever a tiled view has no windows, whatever the host list holds.
• The file is identical in both revisions.
• origin/fix-console-hosts-373 (4335dde47) replaces that with the real host list ("Open a shell" plus one pill per host) and keeps "No hosts yet" only for an empty list. Same bug.
• Does not block the deploy.

Harness notes (not product bugs), for anyone repeating this locally:

• --remote-listen refuses a TLS cert or key that other accounts can read (it fails with "TLS configuration failed").
• The installed infraternal agent checks the server's certificate against the host's trust store. A throwaway CA must be given to the host account through SSL_CERT_FILE: sshd SetEnv plus systemctl --user set-environment.
• A throwaway sshd started from an ssh shell gives logins no XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. Run it under systemd-run.

No code changed, so the gate does not apply.

DEPLOY 37c93637e

• D / #1 Remove leaves the infraternal agent running: pre-existing in 74b9c4d80 (identical repro). Not a blocker. Needs its own issue.
• A / #2 details show the server's machine: pre-existing (details-live.on-demand.ts unchanged). Not a blocker.
• B / #3 confirmation clipped at 393: pre-existing; J300 fix-removal-confirm covers it. Not a blocker.
• C / #4 "No hosts yet" with a host: pre-existing; J312 fix-console-hosts-373 covers it. Not a blocker.

Fast-gate finding: shared_ownership_shell_preserves_recovery_and_refusal_invariants failed 30 of its 97 shell subcases; expected outcomes included success and signal statuses, but received exit 75. Later output from the same run included root-slot-hold: build slot admission failed during privileged integration. I am letting the fast run finish, then I will verify whether build-slot contention caused the SSH failure before deciding whether any code change is needed.

Storage update: ~/worktrees/j205-run/target was already absent; no process was using ~/worktrees/J205/target, so I removed the latter. Both paths are absent and compute01 now has 174G free (25G floor). Build-slot status: compute01 has all four slots busy with a long queue; dev-02 has one free slot but remains frozen per owner order, so I will not start work there. I am tracing the shell observation fields before queuing the necessary diagnostic on compute01.

Finding from local source review: crates/plugins/remote/src/runtime_lock.rs::enrolled still falls back to "- -", while previous_attempt.sh and the server parser now require the digest, server and issuer-pin triple ("- - -"). That makes the no-identity upgrade observation 12 fields and the 13-field retirement guard returns 75; this matches the 30 shell-oracle failures in the failed fast log. Separately, supersede_stuck_install checks field 12 for live, but with the enrolled triple liveness is field 13. I am adding narrow tests for these field contracts before the fixes; verification waits for compute01 maintenance.

The post-restart foreground invocation acquired compute01 slot 1, but the nested bash -lc reset the Nix dev-shell PATH: both cargo commands returned 127 (cargo: command not found), so no test ran. This is a launch error, not a test result. I am correcting it to nix develop -c bash -c and will rerun the red tests once.

Queue check: all five compute01 slots remain occupied; free disk 106G. J205 waiter age is about 22 minutes, with the older J?? request and two newer waiters ahead/behind as the FIFO moves. No Cargo/test output yet; the foreground session is still active.

Correction to the previous queue note: I meant one older waiter, visible as PID 259165; I do not know its job identifier. The queue status is only process/age output, not an owner attribution.

Test-run detail: the first Cargo filter used default features, so runtime_lock was cfg-disabled and it reported running 0 tests; that was not a red result. The SSH shell suite is now compiling/running with its real helper and includes the stale-field regression. I found the unit-test gate requires --features agent; I will run that filter correctly before changing production code.

Verification note: the post-restart red attempt did not produce valid test evidence. The remote helper filter used default features and ran 0 tests; the SSH shell suite could not find target/debug/examples/recovery-helper and raised 96 fixture setup errors. I have not changed production code. I am preparing one corrected foreground red run with --features agent, a built recovery-helper, and the full shell suite. Compute01 is currently 5/5 busy with a long FIFO; dev-02 and the Mac remain frozen, so I will wait in the compute01 build-slot queue only.

Valid red evidence is now recorded in /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/red-ssh-previous-attempt-fba745051.log: the real SSH ownership oracle ran 98 cases and failed 31. The added test_supersede_refuses_a_live_record_before_retirement reaches the retirement marker because field 12 is the issuer pin and live is field 13; the existing refusal failures are consistent with the short 12-field observation caused by enrolled() returning two placeholders. The helper build succeeded. The unit test did not execute because --features agent compiles the ignored design-scale module, whose tests require tokio/rt-multi-thread; I am rerunning only the focused unit with that explicit Tokio feature.

Root-cause fix is now in the local worktree: the missing identity report emits all three placeholder fields, and supersede validates the 13-field upgrade record before checking field 13 for live terminals. Both new regressions are in place; git diff --check is clean. Next I am syncing these four files to compute01 for one foreground green shell run, then quick and fast on this base.

UI review finding: the refusal screen asks for the old-server archive proof but does not say what it proves. I’m adding a plain sentence that the archived server identity signs this host’s takeover check, with a browser assertion. This stays in the existing refusal screen and shared confirmation.

Copy fix: added the sentence that the old server's saved identity signed the takeover check for this host. The copy unit test failed first on that exact missing sentence, then passed 16/16; the production bundle builds. The local Chromium run is still blocked before app launch because this container lacks libnspr4, so the production browser captures remain for the orchestrator's test-server deploy. No compute01 gate was started during the freeze.

compute01 is back at 5 slots. Read-only build-slot --status reports 5/5 busy, 20 listed queue entries (one has no live process), and 86G free. J205's three UI files are synced; its retained target is 2.7G. The Nix cargo preflight passed, and the tracer copy test passes 16/16. The earlier gate cut by the maintenance restart is already noted above. I mistakenly invoked build-slot status; it queued the literal command status, which I canceled immediately, so no work ran. I’m submitting the single foreground chain: focused regression/build, verify quick, then verify fast.

J205 resumed after the #402 notice “compute01 back, 5 slots.” The maintenance restart cut the earlier compute01 SSH/build-slot waiter before it produced a test result; this was not a test failure. I kept the single post-restart foreground run and did not submit a duplicate.

Branch takeover-proof-305-j205 is pushed at 04ebfe762, based on current origin/dev fba745051 (which includes #305 part 2 e5dd7f40d and J93f's merge ee54cea67). The UI proof explanation and the journal-field regression are in separate commits: a029e4022 and 04ebfe762. The D349 creating-alias marker remains in both recovery allow-lists and runtime cleanup.

The focused green run is active through build-slot on compute01 against the clean J205 worktree. So far the three-field identity test passed 1/1 and the recovery helper built. The SSH ownership shell suite is still running. Evidence is under /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/evidence/green-{remote-missing-identity,build-recovery-helper,ssh-previous-attempt}-fba745051.log. The retained target is /home/claude/worktrees/J205/target (2.7G); /home/claude/worktrees/j205-run/target is absent; compute01 reports 62G free.

Orchestrator: please deploy head 04ebfe762 to https://test.ssh.kayg.org for the browser flow, using the orchestrator's software passkey. I will capture production screenshots at 1440×900 and 393×852 in dark and light themes and attach them here.

Finding on branch takeover-proof-305-j205, head 04ebfe762:

The runtime helper encodes an unreadable enrolled identity as exactly - - - (previous_attempt.rs::upgrade_record), and parse_enrolled maps that triple to None. The shell validator in previous_attempt.sh rejects any pair of consecutive spaces, so this valid sentinel exits 77 before the server receives the takeover record or live-terminal count.

I reproduced the named live control-socket fixture locally on code with the current helper: test_upgrade_with_a_running_old_agents_control_socket_is_classified fails, expected exit 0, got 77. This was a focused regression reproduction, not a gate run.

The earlier compute01 foreground waiter was cut by the maintenance restart. I am recording it as interrupted, not as a test failure, and will wait for the explicit #402 “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice before submitting compute01 work.

Correction to the finding above: the shell glob *\ *\ * matches any two spaces in the value, not only consecutive spaces. It therefore rejects ordinary valid digest server pin output as well as - - -.

I added a second local fixture that supplies a valid 64-character digest, server name, and issuer pin; it also exits 77 on the unchanged validator. The malformed adjacent-space fixture still exits 77 as intended. The fix will preserve that refusal while allowing the exact three-field form and the exact unavailable-identity sentinel.

J205 finding on takeover-proof-305-j205, head 04ebfe762, based on current dev fba745051 (includes the merged #305 part 2 ancestry).

The foreground local regression EarlierSetup.test_proven_takeover_keeps_live_terminal_path_and_puts_it_back_on_rollback fails at staging with exit 71. Its shell trace reaches STAGE_TRANSACTION and refuses because takeover leaves only the inherited sessions/ directory at the stable path, while ordinary staging requires .bootstrap-owner. The set-aside marker exists with the old transaction, but staging does not yet validate and consume that inheritance receipt. This explains why the live-session fixture cannot complete takeover. I’ll add a fail-closed stage path tied to the exact set-aside receipt, with rollback proving and removing only the new install’s owner marker.

The earlier foreground compute01 gate waiter/session was cut by the maintenance restart. This is an interruption, not a test failure. I have not resubmitted it and will do so once the orchestrator posts “compute01 back, 5 slots”.

I have not resubmitted it and will do so once the orchestrator posts “compute01 back, 5 slots”.

Second J205 finding: the confirmed D337 route does not reach the session-preserving takeover operation. In Bootstrap::act_start_fresh, both FreshMode::Reenroll and FreshMode::Takeover call PreviousAttempt::supersede, so the host runs ordinary set-aside behavior. The live takeover branch also returns Some(host); later that selects reissue_stuck_install for the old host ID.

This conflicts with the #305 D335 owner decision and J93c report: an install from a server this server does not know is enrolled as a new host with a new key. The correction needs to route Takeover to PreviousAttempt::takeover, bind its inheritance receipt to the new host ID, and use the fresh invitation path while retaining the old install for rollback.

The compute01 maintenance restart cut my attached foreground run before it produced a result. This is an interruption, not a test failure. I am resuming once after the #402 “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice.

Process note: before the remote common brief was reachable, I ran local-only UI literals, doc coverage, doc-comment, tracer typecheck, and rustfmt checks on code. They all exited successfully, but the brief says code is for editing and planning only; I will run all further checks on the assigned VMs.

Next I am checking both VM slot queues and will keep any build/test/gate work in the foreground, using the latest #402 routing instructions.

Finding: source inspection found no regression that exercises the successful FreshMode::Takeover dispatch. Existing tests cover the signed challenge and the host-side inheritance script separately; the route could still send ordinary supersede_stuck_install and keep the old host ID. I removed that route change from the worktree and added a focused dispatch regression so the missing behavior can fail first.

The current branch head remains 04ebfe762 on refreshed dev fba745051; these fixes are uncommitted. Compute01 is 5/5 busy with a long FIFO. The latest #402 update lifts dev-02 for full gates; its slot is free with 62 GB free. Its existing ~/worktrees/J205 has unrelated uncommitted files, which I will leave untouched and use a separate verification worktree.

J205 finding on takeover-proof-305-j205, head 04ebfe762: the new root-SSH passkey path inserts proof_verified=1 in remote_takeover.rs, while the existing audit schema defines that column as verification of the old server signature. D359 allows root SSH without that signature, so the new audit row would say an old-server signature was checked when it was not. The pending migration only adds the new host ID and root-mode fields. I will preserve historical signature rows and give D359 approvals an explicit authority value, with a regression assertion before changing the schema. The D349 creating-alias recovery entries remain untouched.

Plan update: D359 amends my earlier recommendation of archive signature proof (b). I am implementing the root-host-control path (a): an add-host SSH session proven to be root, followed by the existing fresh passkey confirmation bound to the exact host observation, new host ID, old install ID, old server name and live-terminal count. The old-server signature route is unsuitable for the retired monitor01 case; rootless, stale, expired or mismatched observations and reused tickets still fail closed. The existing refusal screen will say which host and install were found, how many terminals will carry over, and offer one “Take over with passkey” action. Next: correct the audit provenance under D359, run focused red/green checks on dev-02, merge current origin/dev, then wait for compute01 recovery for the real J93f fixture and one final gate; request the test-server deploy for production screenshots.

J205 base update: takeover-proof-305-j205 now merges current origin/dev at fd0cbee18 (D362), merge commit 91344bbc3. The implementation worktree remains uncommitted pending focused verification and the final gates.

Local review confirms D349's creating-alias marker remains accepted in both recovery allow-lists and runtime cleanup. git diff --check and git show --check HEAD are clean. I read J93f's round-3 report at 33e8c51ba; I will replay its restored open-terminal fixture on this base after the compute01 freeze lifts.

J205 resumed after #402's “compute01 back, 5 slots” notice (02:45 IST).

• WIP commit 826b66868 is pushed on takeover-proof-305-j205; it includes the root-SSH/passkey takeover path and remains pending verification.
• Current read-only slot status: compute01 has 83G free, all 5 slots busy and one waiter; dev-02 has 84G free, its slot free and two waiters. Following the latest #402 routing, I will run verify quick and arch-neutral focused checks on dev-02, then the x86 fixture proof and merge-gate scripts/verify fast on compute01.
• Both requested compute01 targets (~/worktrees/j205-run/target and ~/worktrees/J205/target) are absent, so there was nothing to delete.
• No new build has started. The earlier waiter was interrupted by the restart, not a test failure. I will use a separate dev-02 verification worktree and leave its existing ~/worktrees/J205 untouched.

Focused takeover-dispatch RED update: the first build-slot invocation acquired a slot but ran Cargo from /home/claude; Cargo found no Cargo.toml, and no test started. The corrected foreground command changes into ~/worktrees/j205-verify-current before running the test.

The corrected request is PID 3604540, queue position 3 on dev-02 (about 8 minutes). Its one slot is occupied by another job; the test has not started and no result log exists yet. The single waiter remains attached; I have not submitted a duplicate.

J205/J315 overlap check on current J205 head 005d8378e:

• J315 (addhost-takeover-d359, #394) owns D359 takeover of a proved, finished, idle root install: candidate validation, host-side set-aside/restore/commit, and its safety tests, including J342's P1.
• J205 (#305) owns D337 takeover of a live install with open terminals: the live observation and exact terminal count, a fresh per-action passkey bound to this host/install/new host/count, audit, session inheritance, the live-flow copy, and the real fixture proof. Rootless adds and mismatches still refuse.
• The shared add-host and SSH files are integration points for disjoint states: INFRATERNAL_SETUP_INSTALLED ... ready belongs to J315; INFRATERNAL_SETUP_UPGRADE ... live with open sessions belongs to J205. J205 will carry J315's finished-install guard into the shared bootstrap-superseded-* cleanup before fixture proof, so an empty or partial base cannot delete the old install. D349's creating-alias recovery markers stay in both allow-lists.

I will keep the J315 idle-install page/lifecycle out of the J205 live-session flow; J205's screen explains the terminal count and carry-over, then offers only “Take over with passkey.”

J205 overlap check (branch takeover-proof-305-j205 @ 005d8378e, based on merged dev 21b3c84ce), after reading #394 comment 84105 and J315 at 597cdb6b3:

• J315 owns D359 takeovers of finished, idle installs: its proof, .bootstrap-takeover-* lifecycle, and idle takeover UI.
• J205 owns D337 takeover of an old, live install: the connected-terminal count, exact passkey-bound action, inherited session inode/path, recovery, audit and UI.
• Both touch the shared root staging and set-aside code. J205 does not carry J315's D359 action or its separate takeover directory. The J342 P1 is a real shared invariant: J205's discard_committed_set_aside still treats a base without a journal as committed, while J315 fixed that by guarding deletion with finished-install proof. J205 also still creates the new owner before its acquisition journal, so that partial-stage window needs coverage here. I will port the compatible safety invariant into J205's D337 superseded-* path, adapting the finished-install validation for this branch's cache-linked binary and inherited sessions; I will not merge J315's feature commits wholesale. I will run the J342 bare-owner reproducer and verify that recovery preserves the old install before the real fixture proof.

J205 progress: takeover-proof-305-j205 is pushed at f01248b3d. The requested dev merge is already in the branch through 005d8378e (which contains 21b3c84ce). The J342 follow-up binds set-aside cleanup to the exact replacement owner and inherited session inode; its mismatch regression was red first and then green. verify quick passed on dev-02 (pre-check only).

Ownership split remains: J315 / #394 owns idle D359 root takeover; J205 / #305 owns the live D337 takeover flow, inherited terminals, passkey action, audit, UI and live fixture proof. J205's guard covers safe recovery of the D337 set-aside through the shared cleanup path.

Orchestrator: please deploy this head to the test server for the browser flow, using the orchestrator's software passkey for the per-action confirmation, and share the endpoint/access details. I will capture production screenshots at 1440×900 and 393×852 in Ink and Paper and attach them here, then run the live fixture proof and the compute01 fast gate.

The shared live-mesh claim is currently held by J288 (2026-11-07T13:58:47Z), so I have not claimed the mesh or touched the archived fixture.

I’ll wait for the claim to be released before replaying the live-terminal proof and restoring the fixture.

Update: the mesh claim has been refreshed by J288 at 2026-11-07T14:08:10Z. At the same check, compute01 had all five build slots busy with nine queued runs and 75G free. My J205 compute01 worktree is now fast-forwarded to f01248b3d, with no target directory and no uncommitted changes; the Nix shell preflight reports cargo 1.99.0. I have not queued a build or touched the fixture. I’ll wait for the live-mesh claim to clear, then claim it only for the fixture step and release it immediately after restoring the fixture. The final verify fast will be submitted in the foreground and polled to completion.

Branch-base update: after git fetch origin, current origin/dev is 6b1bdb81b, with the requested e5dd7f40d merge (and J93f's ee54cea67) in its history. I merged current origin/dev into takeover-proof-305-j205 and pushed head 32235bfc5; the only upstream change in the merge is the login socket's SOCK_CLOEXEC portability fix. The J205 compute01 worktree is clean at the same head. D349's creating-alias recovery markers remain in both allow-lists.

The earlier verify quick was on f01248b3d, before this merge, so I will rerun the precheck on the new base. dev-02 remains under the owner's freeze; I will keep new build work on compute01 and use its one target for quick and fast. The J288 mesh claim is now absent, but compute01 is at 5/5 running with 9 queued and 62G free; I have not queued a run or claimed the mesh. I will wait for the proof/gate capacity and continue foreground polling once submitted.

Capacity update (read-only): the compute01 J288 mesh claim is now absent. At the latest status, all five build slots were busy, nine runs were queued, and free disk was 43G against the 25G floor. Root SSH works; the archived fixture SHA-256 matches J93f's recorded fdd9c4eda0e6376b31d61ce8c644fe6ad65eb3099f1ab211af00dac224072037. No live fixture state has been changed. I will submit the focused precheck and fast gate only when a slot and sufficient free space are available, and will keep both waits in the foreground.

Root SSH works; the archived fixture SHA-256 matches J93f's recorded `fdd9c4eda0e6376b31d61ce8c644fe6ad65eb3099f1ab211af00dac224072037`. No live fixture state has been changed.

J205 resumed on takeover-proof-305-j205. Branch head 32235bfc5 is clean and pushed; it already contains 21b3c84ce through current origin/dev (6b1bdb81b), so there is no staged merge left to commit.

J315 overlap / ownership, after reading #394’s J342 report (comment 84105) and branch addhost-takeover-d359 at a8324274a:

• J315 owns D359 takeover of a finished, idle root install: the INSTALLED … ready offer, its .bootstrap-takeover-* set-aside/restore/commit lifecycle, and the idle-path tests.
• J205 owns D337 takeover of a live foreign install with open terminals: the live observation and exact terminal count, old-server proof, D336 per-action passkey, audit, inherited session directory, and its UI and fixture proof.
• Both need the J342 safety invariant in root staging. J315 stages the owner record and journal together under a temporary name; J205’s .bootstrap-superseded-* path additionally binds retirement/recovery to the live-session receipt and inode. J205 does not add the .bootstrap-takeover-* directory or the idle INSTALLED … ready action. D349’s creating-alias recovery marker remains in both allow-lists.

Finding: the current J205 live path starts passkey confirmation from a challenge alone. remote_takeover_http.rs::Start accepts no proof, Takeover::start does not call verify_takeover_proof, and takeover_start_accepts_root_ssh_observation_without_archive_signature asserts that a live observation without the old-server signature is accepted. D359’s root-SSH rule is for the finished, idle case; it does not prove control of the old server for D337’s live case.

Recommendation and plan: require the old server identity signature over the exact, short-lived D337 challenge, while retaining root SSH for host mutation and the fresh D336 passkey tap for this exact action. Missing, expired, replayed, malformed, or mismatched proofs refuse before mutation. I’ll first make the no-signature regression red, then wire proof verification and content-free audit into the existing takeover/passkey path. The existing add-host refusal screen will state the host, old install/server and open-terminal count plus carry-over; it will keep one “Take over with passkey” action and existing packages/ui confirmation. Next I’ll run proof/UI checks and production captures, replay J93f’s live-terminal fixture with restoration, then run verify quick on dev-02 and scripts/verify fast on compute01 in the foreground.

Focused RED launcher note: build-slot acquired dev-02 slot 1/1, then the command exited before Cargo started because the remote shell was still in /home/claude:

error: could not find `Cargo.toml` in `/home/claude` or any parent directory

This is a launcher working-directory error, not a test result. The regression file is synced into a clean detached worktree at ~/worktrees/j205-sig-proof-20261107; I’m correcting the command to cd there before entering build-slot and keeping the single run in the foreground.

J205 overlap check before the fixture proof (branch takeover-proof-305-j205): the current head is 32235bfc5, based on origin/dev 6b1bdb81b. It already contains merge 21b3c84ce; pushing this branch reports Everything up-to-date.

J315's addhost-takeover-d359 at 998f32716 owns D359's root-only takeover of a finished, idle foreign install: confirm the old install id, set it aside, restore it on failure, and retire it only after the new install is proven committed. J205 owns D337's live-terminal takeover: root SSH plus the old-server archive signature when available, a fresh passkey bound to this exact host/install/session-count action, audit, and session inheritance. The two branches have distinct eligibility paths and no duplicate offer. They do touch shared add-host and SSH recovery files, so integration must retain both paths.

I read J342's #394 comment 84105. Its P1 was the bare .bootstrap-owner after a staging drop being mistaken for a committed install. The current J315 and J205 trees both guard set-aside deletion with validate_finished_install, and both retain creating-alias in the recovery allow-lists. Keep both protections when the branches integrate. J205 has not started the real fixture proof yet.

J205 overlap recheck before the fixture proof (J205 takeover-proof-305-j205 at 32235bfc5; J315 addhost-takeover-d359 at 998f32716; read #394 comment 84105).

Ownership is state-specific:

• J315 owns D359 takeover of a finished, idle foreign root install: the ready proof, .bootstrap-takeover-* set-aside/restore/commit lifecycle, and idle-path tests.
• J205 owns D337 takeover of a live old install with terminals: root SSH plus the old-server archive signature when available, the passkey bound to the exact host/install/new-host/session-count action, the audit, session inheritance, live-flow copy, and J93f fixture proof.

There is no duplicate offer: D337 is for the live-terminal state; D359 is for ready/idle. They share recovery and wizard files, so I checked the actual diffs. J205’s current D337 cleanup refuses to discard a set-aside until validate_finished_install passes, and marker-backed inherited sessions also pass validate_takeover_commit; creating-alias remains in both recovery allow-lists. That closes J342’s bare-owner deletion on this branch. J315’s branch additionally stages a new root under a temporary name with its journal before rename. git merge-tree between the current heads does report textual conflicts in the shared wizard/model/provisioning files and SSH bootstrap/recovery files/tests; the ownership split is behavioral, but integration must preserve both paths and the P1 guard. J205 is not taking over J315’s D359 action.

The foreground browser run addhost-takeover-browser-r3.log completed with six timeouts at root consent. Its saved page context shows the consent checkbox unchecked and “Install as root” disabled; the spec targeted the input with .check() while existing add-host tests click .ah-consent. I’ve changed the spec to click that visible label and assert the button enables. No fixture state has been touched.

The dev-02 production-build browser run reached the takeover challenge in all six cases, then failed the same assertion: the spec expected challenge target _takeover.lab, but the page returned root_takeover.lab. This is not the prior root-consent timeout; that step now passes. No screenshots were written because the assertion occurs before capture. Log: ~/infraternal-ops/j205-browser-screens-20261107.log. I’m tracing the target normalization before deciding whether the expected value or implementation is wrong.

Root cause for the browser assertion: the typed add-host row keeps user@host as its id, and targetIdFor replaces @ with _. Thus root@takeover.lab correctly becomes challenge target root_takeover.lab; the challenge must retain the login because it is bound to that exact row. The product target is correct, and the mock fixture expectation was stale. I’m correcting only that expected value and adding a short explanation beside it.

J205 overlap check before the fixture proof (J205 head ebe552a15; J315 addhost-takeover-d359 head 998f32716; I read #394 comment 84105).

Ownership is state-specific. J315 owns D359 takeover of finished, idle root installs: the INSTALLED … ready offer and .bootstrap-takeover-* set-aside / restore / commit lifecycle. J205 owns D337 takeover of a live old install with connected terminals: the live count, old-server signature proof, exact D336 passkey action, audit, inherited terminals, UI, and the J93f proof. These branches do not offer a duplicate action for the same install state.

For J342’s P1, J205’s shared discard_committed_set_aside path requires validate_finished_install and validate_takeover_commit before deleting a D337 set-aside. A bare .bootstrap-owner after a mid-staging drop therefore cannot be mistaken for a commit and cannot delete the old install. J315 separately makes the owner and acquisition journal appear together under .bootstrap-new-* before renaming the new base. J205 keeps creating-alias in both recovery allow-lists.

There are source-level integration conflicts in the shared add-host and SSH files: git merge-tree --write-tree HEAD origin/addhost-takeover-d359 reports conflicts in the add-host model/wizard/provisioning client and tests, plus SSH bootstrap/recovery code and tests. The eligibility and user-facing actions are separate, but the branches are not textually merge-clean; integration needs to preserve both paths and the J342 guard. I have not merged J315 into this branch.

The requested CSS viewports are 1440×900 and 393×852; the browser captured at DPR 2, so PNG dimensions are 2880×1800 and 786×1704. Attachments include the takeover screen and the exact D336 passkey confirmation for each requested viewport and theme. The 375×667 small-phone cases passed without captures. Run log: `~/infraternal-ops/j205-browser-ebe552a15.log`. Original screenshots: `~/.cache/codex-scratch/tracer-1070280/evidence/addhost-takeover/` on dev-02.

Fixture prebuild completed on compute01 at ebe552a15 (binary and remote,mesh test harness are ready). The shared live-mesh claim is currently held by J88i (2026-11-07T19:07:04Z). I have not restored the fixture or started the SSH test; I’ll claim immediately after release, run the proof, restore the fixture, and release the claim.

Overlap check on refreshed origin/dev 6ffe37e06 (merge in progress). #394 comment 84105 identifies the P1 window where a bare .bootstrap-owner could be mistaken for a committed install and the next check could delete the only set-aside copy. The current dev base contains J342's validate_finished_install guard in discard_committed_set_aside, the post-commit TakenOver cleanup fix, and D349's creating-alias recovery marker.

The merge has textual conflicts in shared add-host UI, proof exchange, and recovery files. Ownership remains distinct: J315/D359 owns root SSH takeover of a finished install and set-aside durability/recovery; J205 owns proof of the old server identity for a live connected install, the passkey confirmation bound to that exact host/install/terminal count, terminal carry-over, and audit. I am integrating both on the refreshed base before touching the real fixture. No fixture mutation has started.

Integration update at c5e925bdf45e42f1e172783797d0f1ac90f68334, based on refreshed dev 6ffe37e06 and pushed to takeover-proof-305-j205.

Ownership remains separate: J315/D359 owns root SSH takeover of a finished install and its set-aside recovery; J205 owns proof for a live install still running terminals, the old-server signature plus action-bound passkey confirmation, terminal carry-over, and its audit. The two add-host actions have distinct challenges and confirmation routes. J342's guard against deleting an install beside a bare owner record and D349's creating-alias recovery marker remain in place.

Please deploy this branch to the test server with the orchestrator's software passkey so I can run the real browser flow. The refreshed merge is committed and pushed; fixture proof, production screenshots, and gates are next.

Pre-fixture overlap check at c5e925bdf45e42f1e172783797d0f1ac90f68334: this merge has J205 ebe552a15 as first parent and refreshed origin/dev 6ffe37e06 as second parent; the J205 head and origin branch are equal. The merged dev history contains the committed J315/D359 root takeover (21b3c84ce) and J342's set-aside deletion guard.

Ownership: J315 owns root SSH takeover of a finished install and its set-aside commit/recovery. J205 owns proof for a live install still running terminals, the old-server signature plus passkey bound to that exact takeover, terminal carry-over, and audit. The branches meet in shared bootstrap and add-host integration files, but this head contains one D359 implementation from dev and keeps the D337 live-install path separate; the confirmation challenges/routes are distinct. D349's creating-alias recovery marker remains present.

The fixture preflight found the old agent process running but no shell/session-shim process and no SSH listener on port 2222. The fixture remains untouched while I verify the reset/proof sequence.

Quick precheck finding at c5e925bdf45e42f1e172783797d0f1ac90f68334 on dev-02: scripts/verify quick exited 1 at the fmt row. It reported two rustfmt-only diffs in crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs in the integrated D337 takeover calls. The gate stopped at fmt, so no later quick rows ran. I’m correcting the formatting on the code host and will rerun quick before the fixture and screenshot proof.

Quick rerun after the formatter correction on dev-02: fmt, doc coverage ratchet, shape lints and fixed-test-waits passed. The gate stopped at doc comments on diff with apps/tracer/src/provisioning-client.ts:149: BootstrapEvent needs a doc comment (D345). I’m checking how the event is used, adding the missing type documentation, and will rerun quick.

Production-build takeover UI screenshots for the refreshed integration at c5e925bdf45e42f1e172783797d0f1ac90f68334.

The tracer production bundle was built with bun run build.ts; the takeover Playwright spec passed 6/6. Captures use CSS viewports 1440×900 and 393×852 at DPR 2, in ink and paper, with the D336 confirmation shown separately. The local provisioning test double supplies the scenario data; its MOCKUP badge is visible and it reports two sessions. These captures are UI evidence, not the live compute01 fixture result. The test-server deploy request for the real browser/passkey flow is in comment 85555 and remains pending.

Test-server status: https://test.ssh.kayg.org/ is reachable, but the served main.js is 117,038 bytes and contains none of the D337 takeover UI strings (Take over with passkey, infraternal takeover-proof, or The old server proof). The real browser/passkey flow cannot run against that build. I’ll request deployment of the final pushed head after quick and the gate fix complete; the screenshots in comment 85697 are production-bundle UI evidence from the local test double only.

WIP checkpoint after more than 30 minutes in the dev-02 queue, at c27221ea51df931a52e833d40fb180b8098729db, pushed to takeover-proof-305-j205.

This is limited to the two rustfmt corrections in bootstrap.rs and the missing D345 type comment on BootstrapEvent; behavior is unchanged. The foreground verify quick is still queued, and its dev-02 worktree has the same source bytes. I’ll rename/amend this checkpoint after verification. The real fixture is still untouched.

Overlap check before fixture proof, at takeover-proof-305-j205 head c27221ea51df931a52e833d40fb180b8098729db (refreshed dev merge c5e925bdf).

I read #394 comment 84105. J342's P1 was that a mid-staging drop could leave only a bare .bootstrap-owner; a retry then treated it as committed and deleted the D359 set-aside, leaving neither install.

This J205 head includes the D359 merge 21b3c84ce once through refreshed origin/dev, plus J342's guard. In previous_attempt.sh, discard_committed_set_aside now requires validate_finished_install before deleting a set-aside that contains a complete superseded or taken-over install. D349's creating-alias remains in both recovery allow-lists.

Ownership: J315 owns D359's root SSH takeover of a finished install, including set-aside creation, restore and commit cleanup. J342's P1 guard is in the shared recovery path. J205 owns D337's separate path for a live install still connected to the old server: the old-identity signature, a fresh passkey confirmation bound to the exact host/install/terminal count, terminal carry-over and audit. The actions and challenges are distinct. The merged head contains one D359 implementation plus the D337 route; shared add-host/bootstrap files were integrated in c5e925bdf, with no unresolved conflicts.

The J93 fixture remains untouched. Fixture proof is next after the queued dev-02 quick run.

Foreground scripts/verify quick on dev-02 at c27221ea51df931a52e833d40fb180b8098729db started after the queue cleared, then failed at workspace clippy (exit 1). Before the failure, scope guard, migration names, Nix Cargo vendoring, fmt, doc coverage ratchet, shape lints and fixed test waits passed.

Compiler errors:

• crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs:2314: cannot find value takeover_host in this scope.
• crates/plugins/ssh/src/previous_attempt.rs:317: missing field takeover in initializer of model::Leftovers.

Clippy stopped before the changed unit tests. I’m tracing both errors and will rerun quick before touching the real fixture. The fixture remains untouched.

I read #394 comment 84105 and compared the current J205 changes with J315's addhost-takeover-d359. J315's branch head 998f3271 is already an ancestor of this branch through the dev merge 00218e, so this branch does not carry a second D359 implementation.

J342's P1 is fixed in the base: fresh setup writes owner plus .bootstrap-acquiring into .bootstrap-new-<transaction> and renames it into place (commit 98f6c66ec); cleanup deletes a taken-over set-aside only after validate_finished_install succeeds (commit 187e463c3). A bare owner after a staging drop can no longer be mistaken for a committed install. D349's creating-alias marker remains in both previous_attempt.sh recovery allow-lists.

Ownership: J315 owns D359 root-SSH takeover of a proven finished foreign install, including its set-aside, restore and commit cleanup; J342 owns the shared P1 guard. J205 owns D337 takeover of a live install: the old-identity signature, root SSH plus action-bound passkey confirmation for the exact host/install/live-terminal count, audit and terminal inheritance. The D337 route handles a connected previous install; the D359 FinishedInstall route handles a finished install. Their proof and action paths remain distinct, with no duplicate set-aside implementation.

Finding from the dev-02 quick run on 07e760e38050000955af3e9d9498e4bd9fef45bc: scope guard, migration names, vendoring, fmt, doc coverage, fixed-wait checks and workspace clippy passed; unit tests failed with 34 Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound } errors (258 passed, 23 ignored). The failing fixtures use paths under the source worktree's ../../target, while this invocation put CARGO_TARGET_DIR in a different worktree and the source worktree had no target path. This is an invocation-layout issue; no product code change is indicated. I am aligning the fixture path with the single existing target and rerunning quick.

`verify quick` passed on dev-02 at `07e760e38050000955af3e9d9498e4bd9fef45bc`. The earlier 34 `NotFound` failures were the missing source-worktree `target` path; I linked it to the one existing target and reran without code changes. ```text +---------------------------+--------------+ | Rust gate | Result | +---------------------------+--------------+ | scope guard | PASS | | migration names | PASS | | Nix Cargo vendoring | PASS | | fmt | PASS | | doc coverage ratchet | PASS | | shape lints off (D351) | PASS | | doc comments on diff | PASS | | fixed test waits | PASS | | clippy (workspace) | PASS | | unit tests (changed) | PASS | | ui literals | PASS | | tracer typecheck | PASS | +---------------------------+--------------+ QUICK pre-check passed.

Proof CLI preparation build on compute01 exited 101 before compiling the application: libsqlite3-sys and OpenSSL reported target/auth-tools/zig/zig: No such file or directory. The direct scripts/static-cargo invocation skipped scripts/auth-toolchain; the documented scripts/verify path initializes it first. No source change was made. I am rerunning the preparation with that initializer.

Overlap recheck before the live fixture: origin/addhost-takeover-d359 at 998f3271 is an ancestor of this branch; no second D359 path is being added. The ownership split in #85909 still holds: J315 owns D359 finished-install takeover and set-aside/restore/commit cleanup; J205 owns D337 live-install proof, root SSH plus action-bound passkey confirmation, audit, and terminal inheritance. The J342 P1 guard and D349 creating-alias allow-list marker are present.

The exact-head verify quick passed on dev-02 at #85925. I will not repeat it while the std-VM freeze remains in force. The #85922 test-server deployment request has no response yet; please confirm when the exact head is deployed with the orchestrator software passkey so I can run the live browser/fixture proof. I am proceeding with the local production screenshot spec and compute01 gate.

The first compute01 gate command exited 127 before the gate ran: nix develop started in /home/claude, so relative scripts/verify was not found. No gate row ran and no source changed. I am correcting the command to cd ~/worktrees/J205 inside the Nix shell, preflighting it, and resubmitting through build-slot in the foreground.

The corrected scripts/verify fast started on compute01 slot 5 and progressed through the agent tests. A separate SSH health probe then returned No route to host; the original foreground session still has no exit status. I am treating this as an infrastructure interruption, not a test failure, and will inspect the run after compute01 is reachable. The live fixture remains untouched; test-server deployment is also still awaiting the orchestrator.

The corrected foreground scripts/verify fast session exited 255 after compute01 stayed unreachable: Read from remote host infraternal-dev-01-compute01: Connection timed out / client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe. It had reached the Rust test suites but never emitted the final gate summary. This is an infrastructure cutoff, not a test failure; there is no active or queued run now.

Per #402 and its scheduled compute01 maintenance: the earlier gate run was cut by the VM restart; it has no test result and is not a test failure. After compute01 was reported back in #402 comment 83012, I resubmitted scripts/verify fast once in the foreground. That post-back run reached the Rust test suites, then the VM became unreachable and the SSH session exited 255 (Connection timed out / Broken pipe) without a final gate summary. I will resubmit once after compute01 is reachable again. The real fixture is untouched; the requested test-server deploy is still pending.

J205 resume progress — branch takeover-proof-305-j205 at 07e760e38050000955af3e9d9498e4bd9fef45bc.

Overlap: I read J342’s #394 comment 84105 and confirmed origin/addhost-takeover-d359 is an ancestor of this branch. The ownership split is already recorded in #85940: J315 owns D359 finished-install takeover and set-aside/restore/commit cleanup; J205 owns D337 live-install proof, root SSH plus action-bound passkey confirmation, audit, and terminal inheritance. The J342 P1 guard remains in place: a set-aside is removed only beside a validated finished install. creating-alias remains in the recovery allow-lists.

verify quick passed on dev-02 at this head. This is the pre-check, not the final gate:

QUICK pre-check passed. This is not the gate: run scripts/verify fast before reporting done.

The production tracer screenshot spec also passed: bun x playwright test -c playwright.config.ts test/addhost-takeover.spec.ts — 6 passed (1.7m). Eight screenshots are attached: refusal and passkey-confirmation states at 1440×900 and 393×852, Ink and Paper, from the production build with its local test double. The 375×667 cases were also checked. This is not the requested test-server end-to-end run.

compute01 is still unreachable from this session: ssh claude@infraternal-dev-01-compute01 true returns No route to host, despite #402 comment 83012 reporting five slots. The fixture remains untouched and I have not started another fast run. The earlier run cut by the restart and its later SSH cutoff are recorded in #86151; neither is a test failure. The test-server deploy request is still pending from #85922. After compute01 is reachable, I will claim the live-mesh fixture, prove takeover, restore it, and run scripts/verify fast once in the foreground.

Compute01 reachability follow-up (2026-11-08 02:40 UTC): the required plain SSH check still returns No route to host. I have not touched the live fixture, claimed the mesh fixture, or started/requeued scripts/verify fast. The dev-02 verify quick and production screenshot results are recorded in #86179. I will continue the five-minute SSH retries and start the fixture proof and fast gate only after compute01 responds.

• addhost-takeover-d359 at 998f32716 is already an ancestor of origin/dev at 046d65156, which J205 merges at 9c120f1bd. J315 owns the D359 root SSH takeover transaction: old-install validation, stop/move/restore, root-add refusal reasons, and set-aside retirement.
• J315's J342 P1 fix 98f6c66ec makes a fresh root and its acquisition journal appear together under a temporary name before rename. The current J205 branch keeps that rule and the validate_finished_install guard before set-aside deletion. creating-alias remains in the recovery allow-lists.
• J205 owns the D337 proof-of-old-server identity, the exact challenge/passkey binding and audit, the terminal-count explanation and inherited-session handoff, and the add-host UI confirmation. Its edits in the shared SSH scripts extend the existing transaction for D337 session inheritance; they do not reimplement or remove J315's D359 transaction and recovery rules. No duplicate commit or merge conflict was found.

The earlier test-server deploy request is still awaiting a response. Please deploy the current test build for the browser flow with the orchestrator's software passkey, or tell me its endpoint when ready. I will capture the production-build fixture screenshots while that is pending.

Production-build screenshots for head 9c120f1bd, captured on dev-02 with the addhost-takeover.spec.ts Playwright suite. Its web server ran bun run build.ts; the spec log reports all 6 cases passed in 1.6m. It uses the local test double, so this is not the pending test-server end-to-end run.

The eight attached captures show the refusal and per-action passkey confirmation at 1440×900 and 393×852 CSS viewports, Ink and Paper. The fixture creates DPR 2 PNGs (2880×1800 desktop, 786×1704 phone). The SSH wrapper returned 1 after the 6 passed line, without a failure line; I am keeping that wrapper status distinct from the logged test result while I continue the requested fixture proof and gate.

Finding: the foreground compute01 scripts/verify fast run ended with VERIFY_EXIT=1 (log: ~/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/verify-fast-9c120f1.log). All gate rows passed except test, which exited 101. The exact failure is shared_ownership_shell_preserves_recovery_and_refusal_invariants: its Python case raises FileNotFoundError while removing base/sessions. Root cause is a duplicate helper name in previous_attempt_shell.py: the earlier D337 committed_install_in_place helper creates sessions, but a later J342 helper with the same name shadows it and assumes sessions already exists. The earlier test then calls the shadowed helper. J205 will rename only its D337 helper and the two superseded-install call sites; the J342 helper and production shell paths stay with their current owner. I will reproduce the single test, fix the helper collision, then rerun the gates.

Progress: the isolated D337 ownership case reproduced the failure before the helper rename and now passes. The requested dev-02 verify quick run remains queued behind two jobs; the latest build-slot status showed 84G free against the 40G floor. It is still running in the foreground from worktree ~/worktrees/j205-quick-86306. Log: ~/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/verify-quick-86306.log. I will keep polling until it exits.

Update: the isolated D337 ownership test reproduced before the fix and passes after it. Commit c6155d1f2 is pushed on takeover-proof-305-j205. scripts/verify quick passed on dev-02 at that head; log: ~/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/verify-quick-86306.log.

The pre-maintenance compute01 fast run was cut by the VM restart. The first post-restart run on 9c120f1bd finished with VERIFY_EXIT=1 because the D337 test helper was shadowed by a later helper; that test-only collision is fixed in c6155d1f2. I am submitting the corrected scripts/verify fast once on compute01 now.

J205 progress on takeover-proof-305-j205 at c6155d1f2a:

• 21b3c84ce is already an ancestor of this head; the worktree has no staged merge, and pushing the branch reports it up to date.
• Overlap ownership with J315: J315's addhost-takeover-d359 owns the root SSH takeover transaction (old-install validation, stop/move/restore, refusal reasons and set-aside retirement). The J342 P1 recovery guard remains: stage the new base with its journal under a temporary name, and only retire a set-aside after a validated finished install. creating-alias remains in recovery allow-lists.
• J205 owns the D337 old-server proof, action-bound passkey challenge and audit, terminal count/inherited-session handoff, and add-host UI.
• Dev-02 verify quick passed at this head (log: ~/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/verify-quick-86306.log). The corrected scripts/verify fast is still running in the foreground on compute01 (log: ~/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/verify-fast-c6155d1f2.log). I will wait for its final status before claiming a gate result.
• The eight production-build screenshots currently attached are from 9c120f1bd; I will recapture at c6155d1f2 for the requested current-head evidence. The test-server deploy request for browser E2E remains unanswered.

Orchestrator: the corrected scripts/verify fast is green at c6155d1f2, the fixture restore script checksum is verified, and I’m ready for the real D337 browser proof. Please deploy this head to https://test.ssh.kayg.org with the orchestrator’s software passkey and post the ready endpoint/status here. The earlier deploy request in comment 86196 has no response yet. I will not swap a binary or deploy it myself.

UI evidence and live-fixture access update:

The .last-run.json says status: passed, failedTests: []; playwright.log reports 6 passed. The outer SSH wrapper returned 1 after that pass marker. There are no apps/tracer or packages/ui changes between 9c120f1bd (the screenshot head) and current head c6155d1f2, so those captures represent the current production UI.

• I cannot yet sign the live challenge with the archived old-server identity: ssh monitor01 'sudo -n ls -l /root/infraternal-monitor01-state-*.tgz' fails Host key verification failed, and ssh-keygen -F monitor01 finds no trusted host key. I did not bypass host-key verification. Please provide the trusted monitor01 SSH host-key fingerprint or the already-verified host alias. The test-server deploy request for this head is also still pending (see 86376).

I have not claimed the mesh or changed the live fixture. Once the archive source is verifiable and the test server is ready, I can run the proof and restore the fixture.

Correction to comment 86381: I resolved monitor01 to 10.69.69.50 and verified SSH against the existing known-hosts entry for that IP, then used root SSH with host-key checking still enabled. The expected archive is absent: find /root -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.tgz' on host monitor01 returned no files, and /root/infraternal-monitor01-state-*.tgz did not match. No archive was copied or read. Please restore that archive or provide its correct verified location so I can sign the live fixture challenge.

J205 resumed at head c6155d1f2a. Revised fixture plan from kayg:

1. On compute01, build and start a throwaway old release server with its own data directory, CA and port.
2. Enroll a disposable host account, keep one terminal live, archive the old server state in the D337 restore format, then stop that server.
3. Start the branch server with a job-local software-passkey authenticator and state. Prove valid takeover with the archived identity key, exact passkey challenge and audit; repeat with a wrong/foreign archive and require refusal.
4. Use a real HTTPS branch server and Chromium to exercise the takeover UI, then capture 1440×900 and 393×852 screenshots in ink and paper.
5. Remove only the fixture resources created by J205, release the mesh claim, retain logs/screenshots, and post the proof and requested gates here. The quick gate remains on dev-02 as explicitly requested; the fast gate is on compute01.

No monitor01 archive is expected. I will not touch monitor01, code or minipc01. Estimate: about 2.5 hours, mostly builds and slot waits; all waits will remain foregrounded.

Overlap check before the fixture proof, at c6155d1f2a8f8b8f90c6f9385185d547ed5aca27:

J205 gate finding on refreshed head 4265a4a3f89a8408da695aed275e5603da548c6c: scripts/verify fast on compute01 exited 1. Every Rust gate row passed; tracer had 654 passing tests and one failure at apps/tracer/docs-build.test.ts:185: doc.js stays small expected <12,000 bytes and received 13,518. I reproduced the same unchanged test on unmodified origin/dev (abad8c6c0ca8c9eaeea66f247c2318b3691463b9): 16 passed, 1 failed, with doc.js at 13,408 bytes. The task branch does not change the docs test or builder, so I’m recording this as a pre-existing current-dev gate failure and continuing the D337 fixture proof. Logs will be attached to this comment.

Overlap recheck at current head 4265a4a3f89a8408da695aed275e5603da548c6c:

• J315's 572056c56 is an ancestor of origin/dev and this branch. J315 owns the root install validation and the stop/move/restore/set-aside retirement rules. J205 owns the D337 archived old-server identity proof, action-bound passkey challenge, audit, and live-terminal inheritance. J205's added recovery code carries the inherited session directory through J315's existing safety checks; it does not add a second set-aside retirement policy.
• Correction to my earlier note in #86536: J342's empty-base P1 is fixed in the current base by 98f6c66ec (stage the owner and journal together) and 187e463c3 (retire a taken-over install only beside a proven finished install). The J205 merge preserves both guards.
• D349's creating-alias journal marker is present in the setup, recovery, and cleanup allow-lists in install.rs, previous_attempt.sh, and runtime_cleanup.sh.

The branch diff adds only the D337 session-inheritance receipts/rollback around that shared path. I will use this exact head for the fixture proof.

Overlap check before the fixture proof (J205, #305): the fetched origin/dev at 77b1255 contains J315's final addhost-takeover-d359 head 998f327 as an ancestor. I merged it into J205 at 9dec1f5 (parents 4265a4a and 77b1255) and pushed that head. The merge completed without conflicts; previous_attempt.sh auto-merged.

Ownership: J315 owns root install validation and the host-side stop, move, set-aside, restore, and retire lifecycle. J205 owns D337's old-server archive identity proof, the action-bound passkey challenge, takeover audit, and the inherited terminal-session receipt and rollback. The two slices share bootstrap.rs, install.rs, and previous_attempt.sh as integration points; J205 extends the proof and inheritance around J315's host-side lifecycle.

I read #394 comment 84105. The reported empty-base P1 is addressed in the merged base: discard_committed_set_aside calls validate_finished_install before deleting a takeover set-aside, so a bare owner file after an interrupted stage cannot discard the old install. D349's creating-alias marker is still present in the install parser, both recovery allow-lists, and runtime cleanup. I will now run the isolated archive/passkey/audit/terminal fixture against this merged head.

J205 progress: head 9dec1f5c15014b33fcc11cb5afef7412fa1ff94c remains the rebased takeover branch. I left the dev-02 J205 checkout with uncommitted work untouched and created a clean detached worktree at that exact head. The requested verify quick is running in the foreground on dev-02 after a cwd correction; the current log is /home/claude/j205-evidence/verify-quick-9dec1f5-rerun.log.

The earlier quick attempts exited 127 before invoking tests because nix develop does not change the working directory. They are launch errors, not gate results. The corrected run is queued behind dev-02 work and will be polled to completion. Fixture setup follows after the gate; no shared test server, code, minipc01, monitor01, dev-02 dirty checkout, or existing host fixture has been touched.

J205 progress

Head: takeover-proof-305-j205 at 9dec1f5c15014b33fcc11cb5afef7412fa1ff94c, including the staged dev merge. verify quick passed on dev-02 at this head.

The isolated old server is running with its own data and CA on ports 47232/47432. The disposable root SSH host is reachable with its pinned key. The fixture passkey signed in and unlocked the old server CA. The first browser attempt paused at the host-key confirmation step (host bootstrap awaiting host key confirmation); no host or terminal was added. The retry driver now waits for that prompt and verifies the pinned fingerprint. It is queued in the foreground for a compute01 build slot.

Next: enroll the disposable host and leave one terminal live, archive and stop the old server, then run the branch-server foreign-archive refusal and valid archive/passkey takeover. I’ll verify the audit and inherited terminal, capture the production screenshots, run the compute01 fast gate, and post the evidence.

Finding: the enrollment failure was caused by shared SSH trust state on compute01. The host's known_hosts has an older key for [127.0.0.1]:2222 (SHA256 vyoW/e1IoHTQm2NgL3sdWsqxaDSBZhOnhtFS5ah+g1g), while the disposable container currently presents SHA256 KkSd1wZ4pccfEY6/QsPRFklSmr+slMls1VHMQcyvzpw. The SSH trust layer correctly refuses to override that external entry, so the UI shows the key-check failure without a confirmable fingerprint. Evidence: /home/claude/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/old-host-enroll-wire-diagnostic.log and /home/claude/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/old-host-enroll-wire-diagnostic.png. Next I will run only the throwaway old server with an isolated scratch HOME containing the fixture's pinned public key, then repeat the enrollment. No shared SSH trust or other host is being changed.

Correction to my previous note: setting an isolated HOME did not isolate OpenSSH's default trust file. ssh -G still reports /home/claude/.ssh/known_hosts, and the old-server log records the same pending host-key failure after restart. I will leave that shared file untouched and instead use a clean loopback endpoint for this disposable host (127.0.0.1:43227 forwarded to its own port 2222), then verify the key scan before enrollment. Evidence: /home/claude/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/old-host-enroll-r3.log and /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/old-server/evidence/server-isolated-home.log.

• J315's addhost-takeover-d359 review head 572056c56 is an ancestor of J205 head 9dec1f5c1. The D359 finished-install takeover and set-aside transaction are the shared base; J205 does not duplicate that implementation.
• The J342 P1 guard is present in this branch's history: 187e463c3b only deletes a taken-over install beside a validated finished install, and 72066736ea applies the same commit boundary to Re-enroll. This closes the bare-owner base window from #394 comment 84105.
• J315 owns the finished-install D359 takeover/staging path. J205 owns D337's live-terminal proof path: old-server archive signature, exact challenge-bound passkey action, audit, and terminal inheritance.
• The creating-alias journal marker remains in both recovery allow-lists at J205 head and origin/dev.

The retry acquired a slot but stopped before add-host: its sign-in helper tried to unlock the old server CA, which was already unlocked in the still-running fixture server, and waited for a toast that would not appear.

Finding from the foreground fixture run: after getting compute01 slot 3, the proof exited before enrollment/takeover at the old-server identity check. The runner used readlink -f /proc/3388606/exe; that returned “Permission denied” for the live server even though it runs as UID 1500 (claude). Its readable /proc/3388606/cmdline exactly identifies /home/claude/.cache/codex-scratch/j205/live-fixture/old-release-infraternal, the private data directory, and ports 47232/47432. The SSH forwarder and old server are still running; the runner's exit trap only stops a branch server, which had not been started. No takeover or fixture data mutation occurred. I’m updating only the scratch proof runner to compare the full expected argv plus UID, then I’ll rerun the real proof.

Update: fixture-pid-guard-944f32e.log records PID_GUARD_PASS: owned fixture accepted, runner PID rejected (exit 0). The old release server and disposable SSH forwarder are still running; no enrollment or stop happened in the focused check. The repository worktree remains clean at 944f32e35. I’m resubmitting the full fixture proof to compute01 through build-slot; current status has four busy slots, nine queued jobs, and 162 GB free. The run will remain foreground-polled.

Second fixture finding: the PID guard fix is green, and the rerun reached the old host's SSH key/auth selection, but enroll-host.ts then timed out after 180 seconds waiting for a tracer terminal (fixture-proof-944f32e-retry1.log). The disposable systemd host has no running infraternal service, no infraternal process, and no /var/lib/infraternal install. The archive/takeover stages were not reached. I’m adding a sanitized post-sign-in page-state capture to the scratch browser driver to identify whether the wizard is on its failure page or another pending state; no repository source has changed.

Progress: the retry-1 log shows the old server answered 200 and the browser accepted its pinned SSH host key and reached the key-auth choice; after clicking Sign in it waited 180 seconds for the first terminal and timed out. The throwaway host has no infraternal unit/process or install state, so I have not archived or taken it over yet. I added sanitized page-id/button capture and a failure screenshot to the scratch enrollment driver for the next run. Compute01 currently has five busy slots and five queued jobs; the next fixture run will queue behind them. Repo head remains 944f32e35 and clean.

Third fixture finding: fixture-proof-944f32e-retry2.log now captures the post-sign-in failure page and old-host-enroll-failure-944f32e.png captures it in the real browser. The agent reports: “The infraternal agent on this host cannot verify the server's public HTTPS certificate.” The old server uses https://localhost:47232; its leaf is self-signed CN=localhost with DNS:localhost. Verification against the default system bundle fails with OpenSSL error 18, while explicitly trusting that certificate succeeds. The disposable Debian 12 host has update-ca-certificates. I’ll trust only this fixture certificate inside that throwaway host, then rerun enrollment; production code and identity CA remain untouched.

J205 continuation — branch head 944f32e35c5f49c7545f38710f475c5684b2ccfd.

The disposable release server responds on its private listener, and the throwaway root SSH host now verifies its TLS certificate and localhost name. Enrollment then fails at terminal readiness with “Remote host readiness is unavailable.” The server log records step="terminal" / failure_kind="setup"; the retry log and failure screenshot are:

• /home/claude/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/fixture-proof-944f32e-retry3.log

No old-server archive or takeover attempt has been made yet. The throwaway old server and its SSH forwarder remain up; the runner stopped its branch server on failure. I’m tracing the readiness failure before retrying. All five compute01 build slots were occupied at the last check, so I have not queued heavy work.

J205 readiness trace update — head remains 944f32e35c5f49c7545f38710f475c5684b2ccfd; no source changes.

I ruled out one suspected launch boundary: in the disposable host, systemd-run --scope waited for its sleep 5 child and returned exit 0; the transient scope recorded Result=success. The saved control output is /home/claude/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/readiness-boundary-diagnostic-944f32e.log.

That does not explain the prior enrollment failure. The old server still records a generic terminal-readiness setup failure, so I’m continuing to trace the response/output side before retrying the takeover proof. No production host or code host was touched.

Fixture boundary verified before further host changes: the root SSH daemon (PID 2046456) is a child of containerd shim PID 925115, container 13551a6dcf2a, and the SSH session has separate PID/mount namespaces from compute01. The root shell shares only the fixture's loopback network and hostname; the TLS trust install was inside this container. After the last failed enrollment, bootstrap removed the agent unit and /var/lib/infraternal state. The old release still reports step=terminal, failure_kind=setup, so I am tracing that boundary before another attempt. I have not powered off the fixture or stopped its server.

I need to report a fixture-lock mishap before any more live-mesh work. I attempted to claim with noclobber, but an existing ~/mesh-vm.claim caused the create to fail. My shell sequence did not stop after that failure: it set the transient INFRATERAL_REMOTE_LINK_TRACE=1 environment in the disposable host's systemd manager, then removed the pre-existing claim. I cannot recover its contents from the filesystem. I have stopped compute01 live-fixture work and will not use or clean up this container until the owner confirms the mesh is free. This sequence did not start enrollment, stop the old server, or create another host installation. The agent setup attempt that already failed remains the earlier logged attempt. I will unset the transient flag under a valid claim before resuming. Evidence: the claim creation returned 'cannot overwrite existing file'; root systemd reports Virtualization=docker and the fixed-phase trace uses only fixed phase names and error kinds.

The independent dev-02 quick precheck is starting on detached head 944f32e35c (origin/dev included). I created a clean gate worktree at ~/worktrees/j205-quick-944f32e; its target is the only J205 target I will use on dev-02 and will be removed after the run. build-slot showed slot 1 free and 83G free against the 40G floor. The compute01 fixture remains paused after the lock mishap; no compute01 gate or live-mesh action is queued.

The exact failing unit test passed in isolation on the same dev-02 branch/head: 1 passed, 0 failed in 0.60s; log: /home/claude/infraternal-ops/j205-evidence/verify-quick-failure-test-944f32e.log.

Read-only fixture evidence: the previous failed add created one rootful remote-host row and one public host certificate, retained one join token, and created zero terminal sessions. The root container journal shows infraternal-agent.service started at 23:23:54Z and the HTTPS server link closed with BrokenPipe at 23:24:04Z, after which setup stopped it. I set the agent client's fixed-phase trace in the container systemd manager for the next attempt, but have not retried. The compute01 mesh claim is currently absent after my earlier mishap; I cannot recover the pre-existing claim owner from disk. Please restore/confirm the mesh is free before I resume the fixture.

I set the agent client's fixed-phase trace in the container systemd manager for the next attempt, but have not retried. The compute01 mesh claim is currently absent after my earlier mishap; I cannot recover the pre-existing claim owner from disk. Please restore/confirm the mesh is free before I resume the fixture. Dev-02's quick retry remains foreground-queued at position 1.

Dev-02 quick retry remains foreground at queue position 1 after about eight minutes. J401's two chains and J386's full run still occupy the three slots; disk remains 78G above the 40G floor. Compute01 mesh claim is absent and I am not touching its fixture while waiting for confirmation.

Dev-02 verify quick now passes on 944f32e35 (retry exit 0; its full summary is posted above). The isolated failure test also passed; no J205 source changed. I removed the dev-02 gate target and temporary worktree afterward (85G free). The compute01 nix precheck returned cargo 1.99.1. I am now submitting scripts/verify fast on compute01 through build-slot; the fixture remains paused pending confirmation about the earlier claim mishap.

Owner clarification: there is no monitor01 archive. I will build a controlled proof fixture on compute01 from a release build with isolated data, CA, and port; enroll a throwaway host with one live terminal; archive it in the D337 restore format; stop the old server; and prove valid takeover with archive signature, exact-action passkey challenge, audit, and inherited terminal. I will also show refusal with a foreign archive and clean up the fixture. The existing scripts/verify fast on 944f32e35 remains foreground-queued on compute01; I will resume fixture work after it completes. I will not touch minipc01 or code.

Overlap check before fixture proof (J205 @ 944f32e35): origin/addhost-takeover-d359 @ 998f32716 is an ancestor of J205\u2019s merge base 8e664e6 and of the current head, so J205 is stacked on J315\u2019s root-add implementation rather than carrying a second set-aside transaction. A read-only git merge-tree --write-tree HEAD origin/dev also resolved without conflicts against the current origin/dev. Ownership: J315 owns the root SSH install/set-aside/restore lifecycle and recovery journal handling; creating-alias is still present in the current head and origin/dev allow-lists. J205 owns archive-signature proof, the exact-action passkey challenge, audit, and the UI/API that explains and inherits open terminals; its extension to the shared recovery script validates the takeover receipt before retiring the set-aside. The J342 P1 guard is present in J205: discard_committed_set_aside requires validate_finished_install, and takeover artifacts additionally require validate_takeover_commit, so a base containing only .bootstrap-owner does not delete the old install. The shell regression cases are in previous_attempt_shell.py (including the J342 P1 shape at line 2571). verify fast for 944f32e35 is still foreground queued; no fixture proof has started yet.

Fixture boundary is now explicitly claimed for J205 via atomic create-only ~/mesh-vm.claim; the claim did not overwrite an existing owner. The throwaway host remains in its Docker PID/mount namespace, and I verified the root SSH host key against the fixture known_hosts entry. I set INFRATERMAL_REMOTE_LINK_TRACE=1 in that container\u2019s systemd manager for the next retry; the agent unit is currently inactive. The old release server is still isolated on its own data directory, CA, and ports. I have not retried enrollment yet.

J205c (Claude Opus 5.5) is taking over from J205, whose Codex run hit its usage limit.

• Branch: takeover-proof-305-j205. Local worktree ~/Developer/Worktrees/infraternal-j205c on code.
• Base: J205 head 2139769dc, merged with current origin/dev 411b49aa8 (clean merge). Pushed as 8d57c453c; git ls-remote confirms it.

What is left, as I read this issue. J205's code is complete, and quick passed at 2139769dc. Three things are still open:

1. The real proof never ran. J205's Docker-container host never finished enrolling with the old release server ("Remote host readiness is unavailable", 87909). The archive, takeover and refusal stages were never reached.
2. There is no fresh verify fast on the current head. The last one, at 944f32e35, failed one shim churn test in unchanged code (88216), and the isolated rerun matched 0 tests (88282).
3. Coordinating with D368 / #433 (J379c).

Plan, about 3 h, mostly queue time.

1. Retire J205's Docker fixture. That means the old server (PID 3388606), the SSH forwarder (PID 3596679) and container 13551a6dcf2a, stopped by recorded PID or container id only. J205's mesh claim file is already gone.
2. Switch the proof to the guest rig that J381, J395 and J402 already proved. That is a fresh qcow2 overlay of the AlmaLinux image per run, booted by my own start script on a port of its own (22205), with throwaway servers on loopback. I'm reusing J402's Playwright flow and software passkey, copied into J205c scratch.
   • Server A adds root@guest and opens a terminal, then stops for good. Its state is archived as state/ca/active/* in a tgz, the layout infraternal takeover-proof reads.
   • Server B does Add host. It must show the live takeover with the check. Then: takeover-proof --archive → paste → "Take over with passkey" → passkey → the terminal is inherited (same shim PID, still answers).
   • Then the B audit row.
   • A second overlay with a foreign archive (another server's CA) must be refused, with nothing changed on the guest.
   • Screenshots at 1440×900 and 393×852 from that production build.
3. verify quick, then verify fast on compute01, quoted.

minipc01 untouched; no merge; no deploy.

Overlap between #305 (D337, J205c) and #433 (D368, J379c). Posted on both issues.

I compared takeover-proof-305-j205 (8d57c453c) with takeover-close-terminals-d368 (ee89ae90a) using git merge-tree. They conflict in 3 files:

File	#305 adds	#433 adds
crates/plugins/remote/src/runtime_lock.rs	helper LEVEL 8 = the issuer pin in enrolled	helper LEVEL 8 = takeover-terminals records
crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs	PendingFresh { challenge, takeover, resume }, where takeover is the D337 passkey-ticket proof	PendingFresh { challenge, resume }, with challenge replaced by the terminal-close confirmation
apps/tracer/src/canvas/addhost/wizard.ts	startFresh(job, takeover?: TakeoverTicket)	startFresh(job, confirmation?: string)

Both also edit previous_attempt.{rs,sh}, install.rs, model.rs and previous_attempt_shell.py. Those merge cleanly, but in the same area: the finished-install takeover set up by J315/D359.

The scope overlap is real, but small. Both decisions handle "a finished install from another server still has open terminals".

• D337 (#305) keeps the terminals. The old server must sign a proof from its archive, and a passkey confirms. The new install inherits the session directory.
• D368 (#433) closes them, after a confirmation that lists each one. That covers the case where the old server is gone.

Proposed split:

1. #305 owns the proof-bound live takeover: the challenge, takeover-proof, the passkey ticket, the audit and session inheritance. #433 owns the close-after-confirmation path and its takeover-terminals helper mode.
2. Helper level: whichever branch merges second takes level 9 for its own addition and rebases. The levels are additive, and neither one depends on the other.
3. start-fresh: the second branch keeps both fields, PendingFresh { challenge, takeover, resume }, with D368's confirmation feeding challenge. On the client it becomes startFresh(job, { ticket?, confirmation? }). That's about 20 lines.
4. Terminal identity: J402's P1 on #433 (88088) found that current-product terminals are host-login terminals under logind session-N.scope. D337 counts terminals by their session sockets (sessions-count), not by scope, so it should not hit that P1. I'm proving that now on the guest rig with a host-login terminal, and I'll post the result here.
5. Open for the orchestrator, not a job's call: when both offers apply to the same host, the refusal page can show only one primary action. My suggestion is that D337 "keep terminals" appears only when the person pastes a proof, and D368 "close and take over" is the default. That part is a UX ordering, so I'm leaving it for the orchestrator and kayg's review.

#305 does not change D368's files beyond these three hunks, and I won't touch takeover-close-terminals-d368.

**Overlap between #305 (D337, J205c) and #433 (D368, J379c).** Posted on both issues. I compared `takeover-proof-305-j205` (`8d57c453c`) with `takeover-close-terminals-d368` (`ee89ae90a`) using `git merge-tree`. They conflict in 3 files: | File | #305 adds | #433 adds | |---|---|---| | `crates/plugins/remote/src/runtime_lock.rs` | helper `LEVEL` 8 = the issuer pin in `enrolled` | helper `LEVEL` 8 = `takeover-terminals` records | | `crates/plugins/ssh/src/bootstrap.rs` | `PendingFresh { challenge, takeover, resume }`, where `takeover` is the D337 passkey-ticket proof | `PendingFresh { challenge, resume }`, with `challenge` replaced by the terminal-close confirmation | | `apps/tracer/src/canvas/addhost/wizard.ts` | `startFresh(job, takeover?: TakeoverTicket)` | `startFresh(job, confirmation?: string)` | Both also edit `previous_attempt.{rs,sh}`, `install.rs`, `model.rs` and `previous_attempt_shell.py`. Those merge cleanly, but in the same area: the finished-install takeover set up by J315/D359. **The scope overlap is real, but small.** Both decisions handle "a finished install from another server still has open terminals". - D337 (#305) **keeps** the terminals. The old server must sign a proof from its archive, and a passkey confirms. The new install inherits the session directory. - D368 (#433) **closes** them, after a confirmation that lists each one. That covers the case where the old server is gone. **Proposed split:** 1. #305 owns the proof-bound live takeover: the challenge, `takeover-proof`, the passkey ticket, the audit and session inheritance. #433 owns the close-after-confirmation path and its `takeover-terminals` helper mode. 2. Helper level: whichever branch merges **second** takes level 9 for its own addition and rebases. The levels are additive, and neither one depends on the other. 3. `start-fresh`: the second branch keeps both fields, `PendingFresh { challenge, takeover, resume }`, with D368's confirmation feeding `challenge`. On the client it becomes `startFresh(job, { ticket?, confirmation? })`. That's about 20 lines. 4. Terminal identity: J402's P1 on #433 (88088) found that current-product terminals are host-login terminals under logind `session-N.scope`. D337 counts terminals by their session sockets (`sessions-count`), not by scope, so it should not hit that P1.

J205c progress. Branch takeover-proof-305-j205 is at 81ae7c570, pushed.

• Merged dev. 8d57c453c merges dev 411b49aa8 cleanly.
• Contract fix. 81ae7c570 corrects contracts/ssh-bootstrap.md. It said the takeover start route "does not accept an archive signature". The code verifies {challenge, proof} first, and the add-host screen asks for the takeover-proof output.
• Old fixture retired. J205's Docker fixture is gone: the old server (PID 3388606) and the forwarder (PID 3596679) are killed by PID, and container 13551a6dcf2a plus its image j205-fixture-host are removed. No other job's resources were touched.
• Guest rig ready. /root/j205c-start-guest.sh and /root/j205c-stop-guest.sh boot a fresh overlay of /root/j311b-vm/disk.qcow2 on 127.0.0.1:22205. A boot check showed Enforcing, the j381.infraternal.test → 10.0.2.2 mapping, and no /var/lib/infraternal, so the guest is clean.
  • The runner is ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205c/e2e.sh; its Playwright flow is ~/infraternal-ops/j205c-private/flow.ts, J402's with a live phase added.
  • It runs three attempts against one offer:
    1. C's archive through the CLI: must refuse locally.
    2. A proof that C really signed, for a copy of the challenge with C's issuer pin: the server must refuse it, and the guest must be unchanged.
    3. A's archive: must take over, and A's terminal shim must survive.
  • SELinux stays enforcing, since dev now has #401.
• Quick (dev-02, 8d57c453c): exit 1. One failure, infraternal-agent logins::tests::a_linger_request_landing_after_disable_never_survives_revocation (DirectoryNotEmpty at logins.rs:2083 during the test's own cleanup). Every other row passed. The branch has no diff in crates/infraternal-agent, and J205 saw the same test flake with another symptom (87988). This is a dev flake. Log: dev-02 ~/j205c-evidence/verify-quick-8d57c45-run1.log. A rerun on 81ae7c570 is queued: ~/j205c-evidence/verify-quick-81ae7c5.log.
• Release build (server, payload, web) is queued on compute01, 4 ahead. Log: ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205c/evidence/build.log.

J205c finding (P1): #305's own field case still says "Setup is already running" on this branch, and D337's takeover is never offered for it

Reproduced for real. Each run uses a fresh overlay of the J311b AlmaLinux 10.2 image with SELinux enforcing, plus throwaway servers on loopback. The server build is 8d57c453c (this branch merged with dev 411b49aa8). Runners: compute01 ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205c/{e2e.sh,e2e-stuck.sh,watch.sh} and ~/infraternal-ops/j205c-private/flow.ts. The legacy1 overlay is kept read-only at /root/j205c-vm/legacy1.qcow2 as the repro.

Run	What A left on the guest	What B (this branch) did
live1	A finished root install with a live host-login terminal (shims 2657/2700, logind session-7.scope)	"127.0.0.1 is set up elsewhere", failure_kind="unrecognized-install". That's D359/D368 territory and the same as J402's P1 on #433. Not D337.
stuck1	A normal install, watched every 100 ms (watch.log)	The timeline: agent active at 07:16:04.342, commit at .638, first terminal socket at 05.105. The current product never serves a terminal before the commit.
stuck2	Setup SIGKILLed after the agent enrolled, before the commit; A SIGKILLed with it. No terminal: restarted A lists no host.	"This host has leftovers from an earlier setup" with Start fresh (D335). Correct.
legacy1	stuck2's real crash, plus the pre-11-02 early terminal: the product's own exec <payload> __ssh-session --state $base/sessions (install.rs:704). That leaves shim 5384 with -bash and one served socket, and it survives losing the SSH channel.	"Setup is already running on this host. Wait for it to finish, then try again." failure_kind="setup-running", exit 73. No takeover offer. That is #305's original report.

The early-terminal step in legacy1 is the only emulated part, and here is why it's faithful. early_terminal() && server_origin.is_none() is never true on a real server since at least b0e79b31e (the field build) and 299b7ad30, because enrollment_origin() is always Some. So #305's field state can only come from an older build, and none of those is deployed any more. The command is exactly the one those builds ran.

Root cause (previous_attempt.sh ~905). Only kind=upgrade journals reach inspect_upgrade, which reports the socket count, the enrolled identity and the liveness that D337's challenge needs. A crashed first install has kind=fresh, and its check runs not_live. That counts the terminal shim as a holder and exits 73, which classify maps to SetupRunning. The refusal is safe: J257/J272 deliberately never delete an install that a live terminal runs from. But its words are false (the lease owner is dead, lease_alive=no), and it is permanent, so #305's fix items 1 and 4 are still open for exactly the field shape. The phone screenshot also repeats its title as its first sentence.

Pinned: 062b57839 adds test_an_interrupted_first_install_serving_a_terminal_is_reported_as_live_not_running to previous_attempt_shell.py, marked expectedFailure. The red run of the unmarked case is queued on dev-02 (~/j205c-evidence/red.log).

Proposed design, for review before coding. It touches the root-run recovery shell next to J342's P1 guards, so I'm not patching it in this job.

1. Check: a kind=fresh journal whose lease owner is dead, with an active agent and at least one served socket, reports the same live record as inspect_upgrade (host, transaction, identity, lease, sockets, enrolled, live) instead of exiting 73. A fresh journal with no served socket keeps today's J257 path.
2. Action: take_over_live and validate_upgrade_stage accept kind=fresh with the same marker allow-list, so the existing D337 inheritance moves the session dir unchanged. The J342 commit boundary and the set-aside retirement rules stay as they are.
3. Without a readable enrolled identity (or in rootless mode), the refusal must say what is true. For example: "A setup on this machine stopped partway, and a terminal it opened is still running. Close that terminal, then try again." It needs its own failure kind, not SetupRunning.
4. Tests: the pinned case flips to green (drop the mark), plus the real guest proof above (e2e-stuck.sh with J_CRASH_ON_AGENT=1 J_LEGACY_SHELL=1) with the foreign-CLI, foreign-signed and valid attempts already scripted.

Estimate: about 3–4 h plus one review round. Overlap with D368 (#433): D368's terminal close only looks at finished installs. A crashed first install with a terminal is covered by neither branch today, so whichever takes item 3 should say so on #433.

J205c finish: #305 reduces to D368 (#433) + the setup-lock fix (#439). Stopping here.

Head: takeover-proof-305-j205 @ f52dc92bd230da6eab63351fea418aaf87d0ec8e, pushed (git ls-remote returns that SHA). Not merged, not deployed.

Why #305 reduces. Each piece of the original report now has an owner:

• Stale lease / failed install / re-add a stuck agent (items 1–3). A crashed first install with no terminal gets "leftovers from an earlier setup" and Start fresh. Proven for real in stuck2, from J257/J272 + D335 already on dev.
• False "Setup is already running" from lock contention is #439 (J395b, flock -w 5, 50/50 root and rootless with no spurious refusals).
• A finished install with a live terminal (live1, logind session-7.scope): refused as "set up elsewhere". That's D368, J402's P1, and J379c's shim-based redesign.
• #305's own field shape (legacy1): a crashed first install whose terminal survives, refused forever as "Setup is already running". The refusal is live_session_sockets → helper sessions → exit 73, not the setup guard, so #439 doesn't cover it. With D368's shim identity, that shim qualifies as the install's own terminal. The exact holder, exit path and the kept overlay are handed to J379c in #433 comment 88519, as an e2e case.

So I've withdrawn the D337 reroute I proposed in 88495 (items 1–2). The D337 proof-bound takeover already on this branch (archive proof, passkey ticket, audit, session inheritance) only applies to stuck kind=upgrade journals, which no build since 11-02 can produce, because the early payload terminal needs enrollment_origin() to be None. Whether to merge it, park it or drop it is the orchestrator's call, given D337.

#305 changes in this job. Kept minimal, none of them in D368's area:

• 8d57c453c: merge of dev 411b49aa8, clean.
• 81ae7c570: the contract now describes the {challenge, proof} route the code implements. It used to say the route "does not accept an archive signature".
• 062b57839 + f52dc92bd: the pinned test and its revert. The test asserted the D337 reroute, which now belongs to #433. The net tree is identical to 81ae7c570.

Gates.

• verify quick on dev-02 at 81ae7c570, whose tree equals the head: exit 0. Log: ~/j205c-evidence/verify-quick-81ae7c5.log.

VERIFY_QUICK_EXIT=0

• The first quick, at 8d57c453c, failed only infraternal-agent logins::tests::a_linger_request_landing_after_disable_never_survives_revocation (DirectoryNotEmpty in its own cleanup). That's a dev flake: the agent crate has no diff on this branch, and J205 saw it too (87988). Log: ~/j205c-evidence/verify-quick-8d57c45-run1.log.
• verify fast was not run on this head. It was queued on compute01 at position 11 and never started. I stopped it by PID when the orchestrator said to stop, along with the queued red run on dev-02. The last fast on this branch is J205's at 944f32e35: one failure, in the unchanged shim churn test (88216). The only change since is a doc commit and a dev merge, but the merge gate still needs a fresh verify fast.

Cleanup.

• J205's Docker fixture is removed: the server, the forwarder, container 13551a6dcf2a and its image.
• My guests are stopped, and no J205c processes remain.
• Targets are deleted: 2.6 G on compute01 and 6.4 G on dev-02.
• Kept: the evidence under compute01 ~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205c/evidence/, the runners, A's archive, and the read-only repro /root/j205c-vm/legacy1.qcow2, which is for J379c.
• minipc01 was not touched.

## J205c finish: #305 reduces to D368 (#433) + the setup-lock fix (#439). Stopping here. **Head:** `takeover-proof-305-j205` @ `f52dc92bd230da6eab63351fea418aaf87d0ec8e`, pushed (`git ls-remote` returns that SHA). Not merged, not deployed. **Why #305 reduces.** Each piece of the original report now has an owner: - **Stale lease / failed install / re-add a stuck agent (items 1–3).** A crashed first install with no terminal gets "leftovers from an earlier setup" and **Start fresh**. Proven for real in `stuck2`, from J257/J272 + D335 already on dev. - **False "Setup is already running" from lock contention** is #439 (J395b, `flock -w 5`, 50/50 root and rootless with no spurious refusals). - **A finished install with a live terminal** (`live1`, logind `session-7.scope`): refused as "set up elsewhere". That's D368, J402's P1, and J379c's shim-based redesign. - **#305's own field shape** (`legacy1`): a crashed first install whose terminal survives, refused forever as "Setup is already running". The refusal is `live_session_sockets` → helper `sessions` → exit 73, not the setup guard, so #439 doesn't cover it. With D368's shim identity, that shim qualifies as the install's own terminal. The exact holder, exit path and the kept overlay are handed to J379c in #433 comment 88519, as an e2e case. So I've **withdrawn** the D337 reroute I proposed in 88495 (items 1–2). The D337 proof-bound takeover already on this branch (archive proof, passkey ticket, audit, session inheritance) only applies to stuck **`kind=upgrade`** journals, which no build since 11-02 can produce, because the early payload terminal needs `enrollment_origin()` to be `None`. Whether to merge it, park it or drop it is the orchestrator's call, given D337. **#305 changes in this job.** Kept minimal, none of them in D368's area: - `8d57c453c`: merge of dev `411b49aa8`, clean. - `81ae7c570`: the contract now describes the `{challenge, proof}` route the code implements. It used to say the route "does not accept an archive signature". - `062b57839` + `f52dc92bd`: the pinned test and its revert. The test asserted the D337 reroute, which now belongs to #433. The net tree is identical to `81ae7c570`. **Gates.** - `verify quick` on dev-02 at `81ae7c570`, whose tree equals the head: exit 0. Log: `~/j205c-evidence/verify-quick-81ae7c5.log`. ``` | scope guard | PASS | | migration names | PASS | | Nix Cargo vendoring | PASS | | fmt | PASS | | doc coverage ratchet | PASS | | shape lints off (D351) | PASS | | doc comments on diff | PASS | | fixed test waits | PASS | | clippy (workspace) | PASS | | unit tests (changed) | PASS | | ui literals | PASS | | tracer typecheck | PASS | QUICK pre-check passed. This is not the gate: run scripts/verify fast before reporting done. VERIFY_QUICK_EXIT=0 ``` - The first quick, at `8d57c453c`, failed only `infraternal-agent` `logins::tests::a_linger_request_landing_after_disable_never_survives_revocation` (`DirectoryNotEmpty` in its own cleanup). That's a dev flake: the agent crate has no diff on this branch, and J205 saw it too (87988). Log: `~/j205c-evidence/verify-quick-8d57c45-run1.log`. - **`verify fast` was not run on this head.** It was queued on compute01 at position 11 and never started. I stopped it by PID when the orchestrator said to stop, along with the queued red run on dev-02. The last fast on this branch is J205's at `944f32e35`: one failure, in the unchanged shim churn test (88216). The only change since is a doc commit and a dev merge, but the merge gate still needs a fresh `verify fast`. **Cleanup.** - J205's Docker fixture is removed: the server, the forwarder, container `13551a6dcf2a` and its image. - My guests are stopped, and no J205c processes remain. - Targets are deleted: 2.6 G on compute01 and 6.4 G on dev-02. - **Kept:** the evidence under compute01 `~/.cache/codex-scratch/j205c/evidence/`, the runners, A's archive, and the read-only repro `/root/j205c-vm/legacy1.qcow2`, which is for J379c. - minipc01 was not touched.

Orchestrator decision (2026-11-09): #305 reduces to D368 (#433, J379c) plus the setup-lock fix (#439, J395b, flock -w 5). legacy1 is now an e2e case on #433 (comment 88519).

The D337 proof-bound takeover on takeover-proof-305-j205 (@ f52dc92bd) is parked, not merged: it only applies to stuck "upgrade" setups, and no build since 11-02 can produce one. The branch stays pushed in case such a host turns up in the field.

This issue stays open until #433 merges and legacy1 passes there.
