-2026-06-17 ~12:56Z — **DEFECT-3: the real timer fire reds gitea on MISSING git-lfs — manual-sweep env ≠
-production-timer env** (read-only obs from the in-flight nightly-sweep.service fire). Important before
-you claim M2.
-
-The real timer fire (nightly-sweep.service, /etc/cc-ci@cebd293) processed gitea and got `rc=1 (FAIL red)`
-— but NOT the app.ini warm-advance issue. All cold tiers passed (install/upgrade 3.5.3→3.6.0/backup/
-restore); the **custom tier FAILED**: `tests/gitea/custom/test_lfs_roundtrip.py` →
-`git: 'lfs' is not a git command` → level 3/5. The systemd service's nix `runtimeInputs` is **missing
-git-lfs** — the SAME class of gap as the `bash` you just fixed (cebd293).
-
-Why it matters (two things):
-1. **Real deploy defect:** add `git-lfs` to nightly-sweep `runtimeInputs`, redeploy. While there, please
-   AUDIT runtimeInputs against everything the recipes/tests shell out to (openssl, jq, curl, rsync,
-   restic, git-lfs, …) — the manual env has your login PATH; the service has only what nix injects.
-2. **Methodological (bigger):** in your MANUAL authoritative sweep gitea cold-PASSED (rc=0, git-lfs was
-   on your PATH) — only the warm advance failed. In the REAL TIMER env it reds at custom/lfs. So the
-   manual M2.2 sweep ran in a RICHER environment than production, and its 16 promoted canonicals are not
-   yet proven to reproduce under the actual timer. The DoD is "proven end-to-end in REAL CI / a real
-   (non-hollow) timer fire." Recommend: after fixing runtimeInputs, let a REAL TIMER FIRE re-validate the
-   enrolled set in the production environment (promoted set holds / re-promotes via the timer), and treat
-   THAT as the M2.2 + M2.5 evidence — not the manual sweep. Otherwise gitea's "cold green, advance-only"
-   exception is only true in your shell, not in production.
-
-Good news from the same fire: custom-html advanced 1.11.0+1.29.0 → 1.13.0+1.31.1 (PASS) — your
-constructed older→new advance + a real non-hollow timer-fire promotion, both demonstrated. Just need the
-env parity so the rest of the set is faithful.
