 Pausing for Adversary cold-verify of Q4.1+Q4.3 (and re-verify of Q3.1+Q3.4 if updated). Will
 resume on watchdog ping.
+
+## 2026-05-28 (later) — Q3.2 lasuite-drive base-deploy verify: disk → prune → Docker Hub rate limit; + Gitea outage
+
+Resumed loop to cold-verify the lasuite-drive base deploy (the f59d8e6 commit deferred OIDC/specific
+tests until the ~10-service base converges). Chain of events:
+
+1. **First install run timed out at abra TIMEOUT=900.** abra log root cause was NOT slowness but
+   `FATAL: could not write init file: No space left on device` in postgres init — cc-ci `/` was at
+   **89% (2.9 GB free)**. The ~2GB onlyoffice + ~1GB collabora pulls filled the disk; postgres
+   couldn't initialise. Stack is actually **12 services** (app, backend, celery, celery-beat, db,
+   redis, minio, minio-createbuckets[0/0 one-shot], mailcatcher, web/nginx, collabora, **onlyoffice**)
+   — bigger than the recipe_meta header noted; it ships BOTH office backends by default.
+
+2. **Freed disk via `docker image prune -af`** → reclaimed 10.1 GB (30 dangling images from prior
+   recipe runs); host went 2.9 GB → 14 GB free. Bumped abra TIMEOUT 900→1500, DEPLOY_TIMEOUT
+   1200→1800 (recipe_meta.py edit; not yet committed — Gitea down, see below).
+
+3. **Second run progressed far** — db, collabora, onlyoffice, backend, celery, app all reached 1/1.
+   But minio/redis/web/mailcatcher stuck at 0/1 in an instant Assigned→Rejected loop ("No such
+   image"). Manual `docker pull minio/minio:...` returned **`toomanyrequests: You have reached your
+   unauthenticated pull rate limit`**. The prune wiped these (previously-cached) small images, and
+   the full cold re-pull of 12 images — on top of today's many recipe deploys (matrix-synapse,
+   bluesky, ghost, uptime-kuma, keycloak, lasuite-docs, cryptpad retries) — exhausted Docker Hub's
+   per-IP anonymous quota. Big images pulled first; the 4 small ones got starved.
+
+   **Lesson:** pruning is double-edged on this host — it frees disk but forces re-pulls that burn the
+   anonymous rate limit. The real fix is authenticated registry pulls (plan §1.5 "registry pull
+   credentials") + trimming heavy stacks (lasuite-drive does not need BOTH collabora and onlyoffice
+   for WOPI parity — one office backend suffices; disabling onlyoffice cuts the biggest image + RAM).
+
+4. **Gitea (git.autonomic.zone) is down** — bare host `/`, unauth `/api/v1/version`, and authed repo
+   API all return plain-text `404 page not found` (Go default ServeMux 404 = backend down, proxy has
+   no upstream). Same from both my sandbox and cc-ci (same IP 116.203.211.204), so it's a real
+   instance outage, not my creds/path. Adversary's `/root/adv-verify` clone is stale at 1aaf3bd
+   (clean, no inbox) → Adversary runs in its own sandbox; the only shared channel (Gitea) is dead.
+   **Two watchdog pings arrived (REVIEW-2 update + BUILDER-INBOX.md) that I CANNOT consume** until
+   Gitea recovers — will pull + act the instant it's back.
+
+Action: interrupted the stuck deploy (let abra TIMEOUT fire for clean teardown). Recording finding;
+notifying operator (registry creds per §1.5 + Gitea outage). Idle-retry both until recovery.

+**@2026-05-28 ~19:45Z — two concurrent EXTERNAL (Class A1) infra blocks; operator notified.**
+
+1. **Docker Hub anonymous pull rate limit (registry creds finding, plan §1.5).** All docker.io
+   pulls from cc-ci's IP now fail with `toomanyrequests: You have reached your unauthenticated pull
+   rate limit`. Verify: `ssh cc-ci 'docker pull minio/minio:RELEASE.2025-09-07T16-13-09Z'` →
+   rate-limit error. Traced to: today's many recipe deploys + a `docker image prune -af` (run to
+   clear a disk-full that broke the lasuite-drive deploy) forcing a full cold re-pull. This blocks
+   **every** new recipe deploy (all pull from docker.io). Per §1.5 this is a finding → **request
+   registry pull credentials** (authenticated/Team Docker Hub, or a pull-through cache). Recurs for
+   all remaining Q3.5/Q4 enrollments. Self-resolves partially as the rolling 6h window ages out.
+
+2. **Gitea (git.autonomic.zone) outage.** Bare `/`, unauth `/api/v1/version`, and authed repo API
+   all return plain `404 page not found` (Go ServeMux default → backend down). Same from my sandbox
+   AND cc-ci (IP 116.203.211.204) — a real instance outage, not creds/path. Verify:
+   `curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' https://git.autonomic.zone/api/v1/version` → 404.
+   Blocks all push/pull → **coordination is down**: two watchdog pings (REVIEW-2 update +
+   BUILDER-INBOX.md) are unconsumable until Gitea recovers. Local commits queued; will push + process
+   the Adversary's messages the instant it's back.
+
+Local build work proceeds where it needs no new pulls / no push. Loop idle-retries both ~15-20m.

+**Prior bootstrap state (pre-outage):** access re-verified @2026-05-28: `ssh cc-ci` ok (root, NixOS
