full9: backup tier FAILed with NameError('__file__' not defined) — recipe_meta.py is exec()'d into a
bare namespace so __file__ is undefined. The harness already has runner/ on sys.path + harness imported,
so import lifecycle directly. (restore PASSED on full9 — the data-integrity fix works; this just fixes
the verify probe crashing the backup tier.)

Root cause (instrumented, DECISIONS 2026-05-30): a DB recipe dumps its data in a backupbot pre-hook,
but if the DB container cycles mid-dump (intermittent on the loaded CI node — full5/6/7 RED, full8
green; NOT OOM/NOT healthcheck) the dump is truncated/absent and restic snapshots an empty path —
abra app backup 'succeeds' yet a later restore silently loses the data (ghost ci_marker).
Fix (additive, recipe-scoped via meta like READY_PROBE): recipe_meta may define BACKUP_VERIFY(domain)
-> bool, a READ-ONLY post-backup integrity probe. When it returns False the harness re-runs the whole
backup (fresh snapshot, re-stabilised db) up to 3x. Recipes without the hook are unaffected. ghost's
BACKUP_VERIFY confirms /var/lib/mysql/backup.sql.gz is a valid non-empty gzip. Weakens no assertion —
it only retries a flaky CAPTURE so P4 restore is RELIABLY exercised, not luck-dependent.

full4 timed out: abra deploy killed at 1200s while the app was at the near-final email_recipients
migration tables (still 0/1). Wall-time = mysql fresh-dir init (~6min, app crash-loops on ECONNREFUSED
until DB ready — no migration progress lost) + ~9-15min schema migration (round-trip-bound, slower
under host load). Not a test weakening — bounded wait (matches discourse), a genuine hang still fails.

Per Adversary course-correction (bdef282) + plan-ccci-compose-overlay-policy.md §1: upgrade-to-latest
is MANDATORY. The 0.7.0+3.3.1 from-version pins the Docker-Hub-removed bitnami/discourse:3.3.1 (404)
and ships a too-tight 5m start_period for the 15-25min Rails cold boot. Minimal base overlay
compose.ccci.yml re-pins app+sidekiq to bitnamilegacy/discourse:3.3.1 (namespace-only, identical
image — same re-pin the PR head makes) + widens start_period to 20m (grace-only). install_steps.sh
provides it; CHAOS_BASE_DEPLOY skips the clean-tree gate; UPGRADE_BASE_VERSION=0.7.0+3.3.1 sets the
true predecessor. Neither change weakens a test. Run shape returns to STAGES=install,upgrade,backup,
restore,custom.

Run #2 base deploy: fresh mysql:8.0 init on the loaded cc-ci host (load ~8) took >6min
(InnoDB ~90s + system-tables + root-pw apply, starved by the app crash-loop churn), exceeding
the recipe's 1m db start_period (+6min retry grace) → swarm killed mysql mid-init (exit 137
unhealthy) → corrupt InnoDB redo logs → permanent deadlock (same signature as run #1's stale
vol). Widen db healthcheck start_period to 15m (matches app) so the slow first-boot finishes
before the healthcheck can fail it. Grace-only, masks no defect; bites base+head (published
recipe ships db start_period 1m everywhere) so overlay covers both. Torn down corrupt vol.

Course correction (REVIEW-2 bdef282) mandates upgrade-to-latest; harness base-deploys
prev published version 1.1.1+6-alpine which predates the recipe-PR 15m start_period bump
(ships 1m) → would deadlock on the ~6-9min fresh-DB migration (swarm kill mid-migration →
held migrations_lock). Policy-blessed minimal base overlay: compose.ccci.yml re-applies the
15m app-healthcheck start_period grace to the BASE so the from-version is deployable;
install_steps.sh provides it; CHAOS_BASE_DEPLOY skips clean-tree on the untracked overlay;
persists across head checkout (idempotent — PR head ships 15m). Grace-only, no test weakened.
Prior corrupt mysql vol (stale, interrupted init) torn down. Next: full run incl upgrade.

abra rejects env-interpolation in healthcheck start_period (FATA 'Does not match
format duration' for both ${VAR} and quoted forms — validates the literal compose
duration before .env substitution). So §9 pt1's env-var route is impossible for
this field; the §9-compliant fix is a LITERAL start_period:20m bump in the
recipe-PR (recipe everyone runs, not a cc-ci overlay; strictly safer). Remove
APP_START_PERIOD from recipe_meta EXTRA_ENV; record the finding in DECISIONS
(ghost E1 must use the same approach); STATUS-2 → new PR head 7a2e0e0.

Migrate discourse off the cc-ci compose overlay per plan §9 / plan-prefer-env-over-compose-overlay.md:
- recipe_meta: drop UPGRADE_BASE_VERSION + COMPOSE_FILE + CHAOS_BASE_DEPLOY; set APP_START_PERIOD=1200s
via EXTRA_ENV (the recipe-PR exposes start_period: ${APP_START_PERIOD:-5m}); declare upgrade tier N/A
(both published prev bases pin removed bitnami images; Adversary §7.1 granted, REVIEW-2 efe3790).
- delete tests/discourse/compose.ccci-health.yml + install_steps.sh (existed only to copy the overlay).
- DECISIONS.md + STATUS-2 record the §9 guardrail + discourse shape (upgrade N/A, env start_period,
pg_backup restore-hook recipe-PR = 5th data-loss recipe cc-ci caught).
recipe-PR head now 8b8df17 (start_period env var added). Not a claim — run STAGES=install,backup,restore,custom next.

The override added in a750937 had no effect: _load_meta only copies a fixed
key whitelist into the meta dict, and UPGRADE_BASE_VERSION wasn't in it, so
meta.get(...) returned None and the upgrade base fell back to previous_version()
= recipe_versions[-2] (0.6.3+3.1.2). Add it to the whitelist so discourse's
honest 0.7.0 base is selected.

Implements the real 0.7.0+3.3.1 -> 0.8.0+3.3.1 upgrade crossover instead of a
§7.1 skip-with-sign-off (Adversary leans DENY on the deferral; agreed):
- recipe_meta UPGRADE_BASE_VERSION=0.7.0+3.3.1 + generic support in
run_recipe_ci (prev = meta override or previous_version). Harness default
[-2]=0.6.3+3.1.2 is a hollow base (img 3.1.2 != head 3.3.1); [-1]=0.7.0+3.3.1
is the PR's true predecessor and shares head's servable 3.3.1 image.
- compose.ccci-health.yml re-pins services.{app,sidekiq}.image to
bitnamilegacy/discourse:3.3.1 so the 0.7.0 base (compose pins 404 bitnami:3.3.1)
is servable; idempotent on the head (PR already bitnamilegacy).
Consumes Adversary BUILDER-INBOX (deleted), leaves ADVERSARY-INBOX ack; STATUS-2
discourse section updated. Full lifecycle run launching next.
