## D-gate verdicts

### D-initial update @2026-06-02T01:46Z — A-reg-1 CLOSED; A-reg-2 still open

**A-reg-1 RESOLVED.** Cold-verify after fix:
```
ssh cc-ci && cd /root/builder-clone && git pull --rebase
cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/regression/ --collect-only
```
Output: `collected 3 items` — `test_canary[good-simple]`, `test_canary[good-significant]`, `test_canary[bad-false-green]`. No errors.

**Canary artifacts cold-verified from cc-ci artifact dirs:**

`good-simple (custom-html-tiny)` — `/var/lib/cc-ci-runs/regression-good-simple-1/results.json`:
- `results: install=pass, upgrade=pass, backup=skip, restore=skip, custom=skip` ✓
- `flags: clean_teardown=true, no_secret_leak=true` ✓
- `install/test_serving`: PASS ✓ (stage_has_passing_test confirms teeth present)

`bad-false-green (custom-html v5-stale-docroot)` — `/var/lib/cc-ci-runs/regression-bad-canary-1/results.json`:
- `results: install=pass, upgrade=pass, backup=pass, restore=pass, custom=FAIL` ✓
- `flags: clean_teardown=true, no_secret_leak=true` ✓
- `custom/test_content_type_html_and_txt`: FAIL with `Content-Type='application/octet-stream'` ✓
- `rc` would be non-zero (any(v=="fail")) ✓ → regression test `assert rc != 0` PASSES

`good-significant (lasuite-docs)` — upgrade FAILED in Builder's run:
- `results: install=PASS, upgrade=FAIL` — `test_upgrade_reconverges` → convergence race
- This is the known WOPI/upgrade convergence risk from the plan (§ Risks). Builder is re-running.
- OBSERVATION (non-blocking now): if consistently flaky, add bounded retries to readiness probe per
  plan policy ("bounded retries on readiness only, never on correctness assertion"). Will watch.

**A-reg-2 still open** — 4 per-tier RED canaries (install/upgrade/backup/restore on
custom-html-tiny) not yet implemented. Builder actively working on it. See BACKLOG-regression.md.

### D-initial: FAIL @2026-06-02T01:38Z — suite won't collect (A-reg-1); plan gap (A-reg-2)

Builder claimed: test suite written, initial gate; canaries in-flight.

**Cold verification result: FAIL — two blocking issues.**

**A-reg-1 (CRITICAL): Relative import fails, 0 tests collected.**
```
ssh cc-ci && cd /root/builder-clone
cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/regression/ --collect-only
```
Output (cold, fresh shell):
```
collected 0 items / 1 error
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package
tests/regression/test_canaries.py:18: from .conftest import run_recipe_ci, ...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Interrupted: 1 error during collection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
```
Root cause: `tests/regression/__init__.py` and `tests/__init__.py` missing. Fix: add them or
use absolute imports (as other test files in this repo do).

**A-reg-2 (HIGH): Plan updated (commit 7bdeb74) — 4 per-tier RED canaries now mandatory (DoD#4).**
Updated plan requires RED canaries for install/upgrade/backup/restore tiers on custom-html-tiny,
each asserting RED at the intended tier with prior tiers PASS. Current suite: 3 canaries only
(2 good + 1 bad-custom-assertion). All four are MISSING. Cannot claim DONE without them.

**Other code quality observations (not blocking):**
- Canary SHAs all verified present on Gitea ✓
  - custom-html-tiny: `435df8fc98ef7598` ✓ (main 2026-06-02 merge commit)
  - lasuite-docs: `290a8ad72d06232f` ✓ (v0.3.3+v5.1.0 merge)
  - custom-html v5-stale-docroot: `71e7326a99bbb690` ✓ (confirmed RED via build #81)
- `CCCI_RUN_ID` and `CCCI_RUNS_DIR` correctly picked up by `results.py` ✓
- `_assert_red` / `_assert_green` logic sound ✓
- README cadence policy complete ✓

**Verdict: FAIL. Standing issues: A-reg-1 (critical), A-reg-2 (high). Builder must fix both
before re-claiming this gate.**

## Pre-orientation findings @01:17Z

**Known-bad fixture confirmed present and working:**
- Branch: `recipe-maintainers/custom-html:v5-stale-docroot` (SHA `71e7326a99bb`)
- Build #81 (run 3h ago): confirmed RED — `custom` stage FAIL; specifically:
  - `test_content_type_html_and_txt`: FAIL — `ccci-e0d6e804.txt Content-Type='application/octet-stream'`, expected `text/plain`
  - All other tiers (install/upgrade/backup/restore): PASS
  - `clean_teardown=true`, `no_secret_leak=true`
- **Implication for regression suite DoD#3**: the known-bad canary correctly produces RED;
  the regression test must assert this outcome AND must be shown to fail if the server returns
  green for it (false-green detection).

**Good canaries:**
- `custom-html-tiny`: build #45 GREEN (SHA `4bd8416a209f`, 21h ago) — simple, fast
- `lasuite-docs`: multi-service stack with DEPS=["keycloak"], DEPLOY_TIMEOUT=900s — test exists at tests/lasuite-docs/

**Infrastructure state:**
- Bridge (`ccci-bridge_app`): running, polling 20 repos every 30s ✓
- Drone exec runner: running ✓
- Dashboard: serving at ci.commoninternet.net ✓
- Builder hasn't started regression phase: no STATUS-regression.md yet

**Notes:**
- Mirror phase (plan-mirror-enroll-all-recipes.md) completed DONE at 2026-06-02T01:16Z.
- This phase starts fresh: no STATUS-regression.md or tests/regression/ yet.
- Watching for Builder to create STATUS-regression.md and begin work.
