# JOURNAL — Phase 2 (per-recipe test authoring)

Builder-private (append-only). Builder rationalisations, dead-ends, in-the-moment reasoning. The
Adversary does NOT read this before forming a verdict; objective evidence goes in STATUS-2 / REVIEW-2.

## 2026-05-28 — Phase 2 bootstrap

Phase 1e completed @2026-05-28 (commit 0fe1218, NO VETO, all HC1–HC4 Adversary cold-verified PASS).
Foundation is in place: the orchestrator deploys ONCE per run, performs each lifecycle op ONCE
(install→deploy / upgrade→chaos-redeploy of PR head / backup→`abra app backup` / restore→`abra app
restore`), and runs **both** generic (`tests/_generic/test_<op>.py`) and overlay
(`tests/<recipe>/test_<op>.py`) assertion files **additively** against the shared post-op state.
Pre-op seeds live in optional `tests/<recipe>/ops.py` (`pre_install`/`pre_upgrade`/`pre_backup`/
`pre_restore`). The deploy-count guard (DG4.1) stays =1; teardown is sacred. Per Phase-1e HC1, the
upgrade tier proves PR-head was deployed via `chaos-version` label = `head_ref` (head SHA from
$REF). Per HC2, repo-local PR-authored code runs only for recipes on
`tests/repo-local-approved.txt` (default-deny).

**Bootstrap (this session):**
1. `git pull --rebase` — already up to date.
2. Verified §1 access: `ssh cc-ci` OK (NixOS 24.11), Gitea API HTTP 200, wildcard
   `probe-$RANDOM.ci.commoninternet.net` resolves to gateway `143.244.213.108`.
3. Read the Phase-2 plan + plan.md §6.1/§7/§9 (loop protocol, single-writer ownership, gate
   handshake, anti-drift). Read STATUS-1e + REVIEW-1e final to inherit the harness invariants
   (HC1–HC4 cold-verified PASS, F1e-2 not blocking).
4. Surveyed existing state: `tests/<recipe>/` already exists for **custom-html, cryptpad, keycloak,
   lasuite-docs, matrix-synapse, n8n** — these were built out as Phase-1d/1e overlays + recipe_meta
   + ops.py. The lifecycle overlay model (test_install/upgrade/backup/restore.py + ops.py) is the
   foundation. Phase 2 adds **parity-port functional tests** + **≥2 NEW recipe-specific tests** +
   **dependency/SSO resolver** + **PARITY.md** per recipe.
5. Surveyed `references/recipe-maintainer` (mounted at `/srv/recipe-maintainer/`) — the parity
   source. Per-recipe corpus:
   - **custom-html** — health_check.py (200 check)
   - **n8n** — health_check.py
   - **keycloak** — health_check.py + oidc_integration.py (cross-recipe with lasuite-docs)
   - **cryptpad** — health_check.py + oidc_login.py
   - **lasuite-docs** — health_check.py + oidc_login.py + upload_conversion.py
   - **lasuite-meet** — health_check.py + oidc_login.py + meeting_flow.py + webrtc-media.py +
     webrtc-relay.py
   - **matrix-synapse** — *shell* tests: compress_state.sh + test_complexity_limit.sh + test_purge.sh
     (will port semantics to Python under cc-ci)
   - **hedgedoc / authentik / immich / bluesky-pds / mumble / gitea / lichen / lichen-markdown** —
     no `tests/` dir under recipe-info yet, will fill from plan §4.3 spec.

**Plan-shape orientation:**
- `tests/<recipe>/test_<op>.py` (lifecycle overlays) — already established.
- `tests/<recipe>/functional/` — Phase-2 introduces this subdir for parity-port + new specific tests.
  Discovery currently globs `test_*.py` at the top level only; will need to recurse (Q0.2).
- `tests/<recipe>/playwright/` — same.
- `tests/<recipe>/PARITY.md` — Phase-2 introduces this; mapping table per recipe.

**Bootstrap commits incoming:**
- Add STATUS-2.md / BACKLOG-2.md / JOURNAL-2.md (this session).
- DECISIONS.md append: PARITY.md format, functional/ + playwright/ subdirs, dep-resolver shape.

Will now seed DECISIONS, then begin Q0.1 (vendor helpers into runner/harness/) — keeping the
custom-html overlay working as the reference recipe. The /loop will self-pace.

## 2026-05-28 — Q0 + Q1.1 landed; Q0 gate CLAIMED

Worked through Q0.1, Q0.2, Q0.3, Q1.1 in one stretch since they're tightly coupled:

**Q0.1** — `runner/harness/http.py` is the canonical Phase-2 recipe-test HTTP API. Mirrors
`recipe-maintainer/utils/tests/helpers.py` shape (same function names, same return shapes) so
parity ports read 1:1, but self-contained (cc-ci runtime does NOT import recipe-maintainer per
DECISIONS Phase 2). Existing `lifecycle.http_get`/`http_fetch`/`http_body` stay — they're for
infra-level checks like Traefik-404 detection. `harness.http` is for recipe tests' API calls. SSL
context is `CERT_NONE` because per-run domains use the wildcard cert; the real-cert verification
happens in `generic.served_cert` once per run via the install tier.

**Q0.2** — discovery now recurses into `functional/` + `playwright/` subdirs. Surgically small change
to `custom_tests`; doesn't disturb the lifecycle-tier discovery (overlays still live at top-level).
Two new unit tests prove it (recursion works + HC2 gate still applies to subdirs). Pre-existing 8
discovery unit tests still pass.

**Q0.3 / Q1.1** — custom-html as the reference recipe:
- `PARITY.md` mapping table: 1 parity row (health_check) + 2 recipe-specific rows
  (content_roundtrip + content_type_header) + a backup-integrity reference + a playwright reference.
- `functional/test_health_check.py` — parity port with `SOURCE: recipe-info/custom-html/tests/health_check.py` comment for audit.
- `functional/test_content_roundtrip.py` — NEW: write a `uuid.uuid4()` marker into nginx's
  `/usr/share/nginx/html` volume, fetch over HTTPS, assert exact-byte match. Non-vacuous: a stale page
  or misrouted backend can't return our random content.
- `functional/test_content_type_header.py` — NEW: write `.html` + `.txt` files with same body
  ("hello"), HEAD each, assert `Content-Type: text/html` and `text/plain`. Caught the case where nginx
  MIME map breaks even when 200 still works.
- `playwright/test_browser_smoke.py` — P6: Chromium renders HTML, no console errors.

**E2E cold-verifiable evidence on cc-ci** (log `/root/ccci-q0-customhtml-full.log`):
```
RECIPE=custom-html cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py
===== TIER: install (generic=run, overlay=cc-ci:tests/custom-html/test_install.py) =====
  ... generic + overlay both PASS
===== TIER: upgrade =====
  upgrade→PR-head: head_ref=8a026066 chaos-version=8a026066 version=1.10.0+1.28.0→1.11.0+1.29.0
  ... generic + overlay both PASS (data marker "upgrade-survives" survived chaos redeploy)
===== TIER: backup =====
  ... generic + overlay both PASS
===== TIER: restore =====
  ... generic + overlay both PASS (volume restored to "original")
===== TIER: custom =====
  ... 4 PASS (parity health_check, content_roundtrip, content_type_header, browser_smoke)
===== RUN SUMMARY =====
deploy-count = 1 (expect 1)
  install : pass   upgrade : pass   backup : pass   restore : pass   custom : pass
```

That's the full Phase-2 pattern proven on the reference recipe:
- additive generic+overlay across 4 lifecycle ops (HC3),
- HC1 PR-head deploy proof via chaos-version label match,
- recipe-aware backup data-integrity (marker survives backup/restore cycle),
- 2 NEW recipe-specific functional tests beyond parity (P3 floor met),
- Playwright UI flow (P6),
- deploy-once + clean teardown.

**Q0.4 (dep resolver) deferred to Q2**: no Q1 recipe (custom-html + n8n) has deps, and the resolver
shape will be much clearer once we have keycloak+authentik to deploy as deps. Logged in BACKLOG-2.

**Q0 gate now CLAIMED.** Working in parallel on Q1.2 (n8n) while the Adversary cold-verifies.


## 2026-05-28 — F2-1 fix: synthetic-recipe fixture (Adversary FAIL on Q0)

The Adversary FAILed Q0 cold on F2-1: `tests/unit/test_discovery.py::test_custom_tests_repo_local_gated` (Phase-1e HC2 test) used the real recipe name `"custom-html"` and asserted
`custom_tests("custom-html", repo_local) == []`. Phase-2 commit `bec9265` added 4 legit non-lifecycle
tests under `tests/custom-html/{functional,playwright}/`, which `custom_tests()` now correctly
returns — so the `== []` assertion no longer holds. Behavior is right; the fixture was brittle.

My "21 passed" evidence was real on the Builder clone — but I had synced the new tests to cc-ci
**before** syncing the new custom-html functional/ tests, so at that moment the assertion still held.
The Adversary's cold re-run from origin/main pulled the full state and correctly caught the regression.

**Fix (commit `5741e88`):** switch to synthetic recipe + monkeypatch `discovery.cc_ci_dir` — same
pattern already used in the Phase-2 sibling `tests/unit/test_discovery_phase2.py`. 5-line change,
no behavior change. Cold-verifiable: `cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/unit -v` → 21/21 PASS.

F2-2 (scope observation) — the Adversary flagged that Q0.4 (dep resolver) and OIDC-flow primitive
are not yet implemented; explicitly deferred to Q2/Q3 in BACKLOG-2. Acknowledged in STATUS-2 gate
text.

**Lesson:** when adding new content to an existing recipe directory, scan the unit tests for any
that assume that directory is empty/lifecycle-only. The synthetic-recipe + monkeypatch pattern is
the right shape for all such unit tests; we should prefer it across the board.

**n8n probe ran in the background to validate endpoint shapes for Q1.2:**
- `/` → 200 text/html (the SPA)
- `/healthz` → 200 `{"status":"ok"}` (already used by install overlay)
- `/types/nodes.json` → 200 but size=31 bytes, not JSON (probably SPA fallback). REJECT this idea.
- Probe terminated before reaching `/rest/settings` / `/rest/login` (the JSON parse on
  `/types/nodes.json` raised). Re-running probe now without the JSON gate.

Q0 re-claimed; awaiting Adversary re-verify. Continuing on Q1.2 (n8n) in parallel.

## 2026-05-28 — Q1.2 (n8n) green; Q1 CLAIMED

n8n's defining challenge for Phase 2 was the **boot race**: `/healthz` returns 200 long before the
n8n process is ready to serve REST. The REST endpoints serve a placeholder HTML page ("n8n is
starting up. Please wait") with status 200 during early boot, so a naive `status==200` test would
pass on the placeholder (vacuous). I avoided this in two ways:

1. **Functional tests poll for content-type=application/json** (not just status=200) — rejecting
   the placeholder until the real JSON arrives. The retry envelope is the canonical
   `harness.http.assert_converges`.
2. **The install overlay's Playwright now polls page.goto** until status==200 — because n8n's `/`
   route registration can lag /healthz by several seconds (Run 1: status=200 with placeholder
   body; Run 2: status=404 because the route wasn't registered yet). Both windows were caught and
   handled.

The plan §4.3 mentioned "create a workflow via API, execute it, assert the result" as the n8n
specific test. I deferred that and chose `/rest/settings` + `/rest/login` JSON-shape assertions
instead, for these reasons:
- n8n requires owner setup before the REST API is unlocked for workflow creation. Doing that in
  CI means generating an admin password, POSTing it to `/rest/owner/setup`, then proceeding —
  doable, but introduces a write side-effect that complicates the install→upgrade→backup pipeline
  (because the owner-setup state is in the n8n volume that backup/restore also exercises).
- The `/rest/settings` + `/rest/login` shape assertions are **equally non-vacuous**: they reject
  the boot-placeholder, which the API would still serve if n8n's process is wedged. They prove
  the REST subsystem AND the user-management/auth subsystem initialized — which is the
  functional core of n8n's web layer.
- The lifecycle overlays already prove backup/restore data-integrity via a volume marker in
  /home/node/.n8n. The owner-setup blob would also live in that volume; if the marker survives, so
  does owner-setup state.

Decision recorded in BACKLOG-2 Q1.2 with rationale. The ≥2-specific floor is met by the two
JSON-API tests + the lifecycle data-integrity overlay (which IS recipe-specific behavior even
though it lives in the lifecycle tier — it tests n8n's volume contents survive a real abra backup).

**Cold-verifiable e2e on cc-ci** (log `/root/ccci-q1-n8n-r3.log`):
```

Q1 CLAIMED. Working in parallel on Q2 (keycloak + authentik + OIDC-flow harness) while the
Adversary cold-verifies.

## 2026-05-28 — Q1 FAIL → F2-3 + F2-4 fix; Q1 RE-CLAIMED

The Adversary FAILed Q1 on two findings:

**F2-4 (the gate-blocker):** I rationalized skipping the workflow-create test because "n8n's REST
API requires owner setup". Per plan §7.1 verbatim, "needs SSO setup" / "needs another app
deployed" / "needs a browser" are NOT valid excuses — the SSO-setup harness, dependency resolver,
and Playwright exist precisely to remove these excuses. My rationale fell exactly into that
prohibited class. Owner setup is a one-POST run-scoped class-B secret per §4.4-B; the test should
do it.

This was a real mistake. I was anchoring on "ports must reflect the recipe-maintainer corpus",
and recipe-maintainer's n8n corpus has only `health_check.py`. But Phase 2 P3 is ABOVE parity —
the ≥2 specific tests have to be characteristic-of-the-recipe, and for n8n that's a workflow
round-trip, full stop.

**Fix:** `tests/n8n/functional/test_workflow_roundtrip.py` does exactly what §4.3 prescribed:
- POST `/rest/owner/setup` with a per-run generated email + password (class-B secret, never
  persisted to disk, scrubbed from logs by the orchestrator's redaction filter).
- Capture the `Set-Cookie` (n8n's `n8n-auth` cookie) → cookie header for subsequent requests.
- POST `/rest/workflows` with a minimal Manual-Trigger workflow + a unique name.
- GET `/rest/workflows/<id>` with the cookie; assert id/name/nodes payload round-trip.

I intentionally stopped short of "execute the workflow" — manual triggers can't self-execute
without webhook activation (fragile, slow). Create-and-read-back is the workflow-engine
exercise; execution is a separate test if/when needed.

**F2-3 (cold-run flake):** my install-overlay retry loop caught HTTP status mismatches but let
Playwright exceptions (`net::ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED`) escape. The Adversary's first cold run
genuinely hit this — Playwright's underlying CDP connection can transiently drop, especially
under load on a single-node cc-ci. Wrapping `page.goto` in `try/except PlaywrightError` (caught
both the specific PlaywrightError class AND any other transient exception) makes the loop
behave the same way for connection failures as for status mismatches.

**Cold-verifiable e2e** (log `/root/ccci-q1-n8n-r4.log`, commit `fc89552`):
```
RECIPE=n8n cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py
== head_ref='63dd3e0f' (ref=None)
... 5 lifecycle assertions + 4 custom-stage assertions ALL PASS ...
  ↑ including test_workflow_create_and_read_back (the §4.3 prescribed test) ↑
===== RUN SUMMARY =====
deploy-count = 1 (expect 1)
  install : pass   upgrade : pass   backup : pass   restore : pass   custom : pass
```

**Lesson:** when the plan's §4.3 examples line up directly with a recipe (n8n → "create a
workflow via API"), do that test. The Adversary mandate (§7.1) specifically guards against
substituting endpoint-shape tests for characteristic-behavior tests. If owner-setup is required,
generate the credential per-run; if the API needs a session, capture and forward the cookie.
PARITY.md is for the recipe-maintainer ports; the ≥2 specific tests go above and beyond — they
shouldn't be constrained by what the parity corpus tested.

**Keycloak Q2.1 in flight, separate issue:** the keycloak install hit `not healthy over HTTPS
/realms/master (last status 502)` during the first attempt. The deployment dies before serving.
This is likely the HTTP_TIMEOUT=600 not being enough for a cold-start JVM + mariadb on this
host. Will investigate after Q1 RE-VERIFY lands.

## 2026-05-28 — Q2 CLAIMED — dep resolver + SSO harness + OIDC end-to-end

Q1 PASS landed. Then in one stretch:

**Q2.1 keycloak parity + 2 specific** (`d5f5e86`) — parity port + JWT password-grant test +
client_credentials grant + JWT claim validation. Bumped DEPLOY_TIMEOUT+HTTP_TIMEOUT to 900s after
the first attempt hit 502 from /realms/master at 600s (cold-start JVM+mariadb takes longer).

**Q2.3 — the foundational primitives** (`4d6b040`):
- `runner/harness/deps.py` — read `DEPS = [...]` from a recipe's `recipe_meta.py`; orchestrator
  deploys each dep at a per-(parent, dep) domain before the recipe-under-test, tears down in
  reverse order in finally. DG4.1 expected count is now 1 + len(deps_state).
- `runner/harness/sso.py` — `setup_keycloak_realm` (idempotent realm + confidential OIDC client
  + test user with class-B per-run-generated password); `oidc_password_grant` (real OIDC
  password-grant flow); `assert_discovery_endpoint` (issuer matches per-run domain/realm).
- 7 unit tests in `tests/unit/test_deps.py`. The unit-test `test_dep_domain_distinct_per_parent`
  caught a bug in my first dep_domain implementation (didn't include parent in the hash) — fixed
  before pushing. 28/28 unit tests PASS cold.

**Q2.4 acceptance** (`9e88741`): added `DEPS = ["keycloak"]` to lasuite-docs's recipe_meta and
wrote `tests/lasuite-docs/functional/test_oidc_with_keycloak.py`. End-to-end on cc-ci:

```
RECIPE=lasuite-docs STAGES=install,custom cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py
===== DEPS: ['keycloak'] =====
  dep: deploying keycloak -> keyc-c12afe.ci.commoninternet.net
  dep: keycloak ready @ keyc-c12afe.ci.commoninternet.net
===== TIER: install =====   2 PASS (generic + cc-ci overlay)
===== TIER: custom =====    1 PASS (test_oidc_password_grant_against_dep_keycloak)
===== DEPS teardown =====
===== RUN SUMMARY =====
deploy-count = 2 (expect 2)
```

The OIDC test asserts iss/azp/typ/exp on a real JWT — non-vacuous. The "dependent recipe deploys
its provider and runs an OIDC login test in one run" gate acceptance is met.

**Q2.2 authentik DEFERRED.** Q2 acceptance is keycloak-proven; authentik enrollment is
provider-pluggable (mirror the setup_keycloak_realm shape into a setup_authentik_provider when
a recipe declares authentik as its dep). Logged in BACKLOG-2; will land when Q3 lights up an
authentik-dependent recipe.

**Secondary fix during the stretch — F2-3 systemic** (`47f7cb4`): the same Playwright-error
escape that bit n8n bit custom-html during the deps-smoke test. Centralized the fix in
`runner/harness/browser.py::goto_with_retry` and applied to ALL install overlays + the
custom-html playwright smoke. Cold-verified on custom-html (all 5 stages PASS).

**Lesson:** the F2-3 fix should have been centralized the first time, not just patched
in-place on n8n. The cost of the rework was ~50 lines and one extra cold run. Worth it for the
generality. From now on: when a recipe-overlay needs a robustness pattern, ask if it generalizes
to a shared helper BEFORE fixing in-place.

Q2 CLAIMED; awaiting Adversary cold-verify. Continuing on Q3 (SSO-dependent suite) in parallel.

## 2026-05-28 — Q2 FAIL on F2-5; fixed; RE-CLAIMED

Adversary FAILed Q2 on three findings:
- **F2-5 (gate-blocker):** `teardown_deps` silently suppressed teardown failures via
  `contextlib.suppress(Exception)`. The `===== DEPS teardown =====` print fired even when undeploy
  raised. On Adversary cold-check 14+ minutes after my Q2.4 run, the dep keycloak stack
  `keyc-c12afe` was STILL UP — 2 services + leftover secrets/volumes. The "green" Q2.4 run leaked.
- **F2-6 (secondary):** cold keycloak install flake (502 from /realms/master). Real issue, but
  unrelated to Q2 acceptance — flagged for future infra hardening.
- **F2-7 (transparency):** SSO setup is keycloak-hardcoded; `setup_authentik_realm` would need a
  parallel backend. Documented for Q5 to avoid skipping authentik on the false premise that the
  harness is reusable for it.

**This explained my Q3.1 flake!** When I ran lasuite-docs+keycloak again after the Q2.4 run, the
dep domain (`keyc-c12afe.ci.commoninternet.net` — deterministic per parent+dep+pr+ref) was the
SAME, and the leftover stack from Q2.4 collided with the new deploy. The "502 from /realms/master"
was actually the OLD stack still running, but trying to deploy a fresh keycloak on top of the
existing one. The new abra app new succeeded (created a new .env), but the swarm services were
already running so abra app deploy did weird things, and Traefik routed to the OLD running stack
(which was timing out / not healthy after the secrets had been swapped).

**Fix (commit `c6e94af`):**
- `deps.py::teardown_deps`: switched to `verify=True` so `lifecycle.teardown_app` raises on
  residuals; loop catches per-dep failures, logs LOUDLY, but continues to teardown other deps;
  after all attempts, raises a combined `TeardownError`.
- `run_recipe_ci.py`: catches the dep `TeardownError` in finally; surfaces via
  `dep_teardown_error` in the summary + non-zero exit code; run still prints diagnostics so a
  teardown failure doesn't hide other failures.

**Cold-verified e2e** (log `/root/ccci-f25-verify.log`):
```
RECIPE=lasuite-docs STAGES=install,custom cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py
===== DEPS: ['keycloak'] =====
  dep: deploying keycloak -> keyc-c12afe.ci.commoninternet.net
  dep: keycloak ready @ keyc-c12afe.ci.commoninternet.net
===== TIER: install =====   2 PASS
===== TIER: custom =====    3 PASS (incl. test_oidc_password_grant_against_dep_keycloak)
===== DEPS teardown =====
  dep: tearing down keycloak @ keyc-c12afe.ci.commoninternet.net
===== RUN SUMMARY =====
deploy-count = 2 (expect 2)
```

Post-run cc-ci state (verified 30s later): `docker stack ls | grep keyc` → empty;
`docker volume ls | grep keyc` → empty; `docker secret ls | grep keyc` → empty. No leak.

Side-effect of the cleanup: also landed Q3.1 partial (PARITY.md + 2 new functional tests for
lasuite-docs — test_health_check parity port + test_auth_required showing 401 on protected API).
test_oidc_with_keycloak.py is the third specific test (Q2.4 acceptance + Q3.1 OIDC coverage).

**Lessons:**
1. **Silent exception suppression in cleanup paths is a bug**, not robustness. Use it ONLY for
   things you know are inherently best-effort and don't have downstream effects. Dep teardown
   has downstream effects (deterministic dep domain → next-run collision); it MUST be loud.
2. **Deterministic per-run domains amplify state leaks.** When parent+pr+ref+dep produces the
   same hash on a re-run, any leak from the prior run silently corrupts the next. The fix
   options were either (a) make teardown sacred (chosen — F2-5 fix), or (b) make the domain
   random/timestamped. (a) is right because deterministic helps debugging and concurrent-safety
   when verified to fully teardown.

Q2 RE-CLAIMED. Continuing Q3 work in parallel.

## 2026-05-28 — Q2 PASS; Q3.1 + Q3.4 partial; checkpoint

**Progress checkpoint:**
- Q0 ✓ Adversary PASS — harness primitives + discovery
- Q1 ✓ Adversary PASS — custom-html + n8n full Phase-2 (parity + ≥2 specific)
- Q2 ✓ Adversary PASS — keycloak + dep resolver + SSO harness + Q2.4 acceptance
- Q3.1 lasuite-docs partial — parity health_check + 2 specific (auth_required + oidc_with_keycloak)
- Q3.4 cryptpad partial — parity + 2 specific (spa_assets + Playwright render)
- Q3.2/Q3.3/Q3.5: not started
- Q4: 10 recipes not started
- Q5.1 docs partial; Q5.2/Q5.3 not done

**Open deferrals (per §7.1) tracked for Adversary sign-off:**
1. lasuite-docs deeper OIDC tests (oidc_login.py + upload_conversion.py + create-a-doc) — needs
   install_steps.sh to wire dep keycloak's client_secret + OIDC env into the parent .env.
2. cryptpad create-a-pad deeper test — CryptPad's pad-creation flow is version-specific (DECISIONS
   Phase-2 Q3.4 section logs the rationale).
3. Q2.2 authentik enrollment + setup_authentik_realm backend in harness.sso (F2-7).

**Pattern learned this session:**
- When a test fails on the first cold run, ALWAYS check whether the failure is the test code OR
  the underlying behavior. The cryptpad story: my first /api/config test was wrong (the
  endpoint doesn't exist); my second test_websocket_endpoint was wrong (the websocket path
  doesn't return 4xx on plain HTTP); the Playwright pad-init was over-ambitious for the version.
  Each iteration cost a 5-7min e2e cycle. Lesson: **probe BEFORE writing assertions** — for new
  recipes, do a manual `curl` survey of the actual endpoint surface, then write tests against
  that. (For Q3.5 immich and Q3.2 lasuite-drive I should plan a probe phase first.)

## 2026-05-28 — Q4.1 matrix-synapse code-only; deploy blocked on host capacity

Wrote Phase-2 content for matrix-synapse (PARITY.md + 3 functional tests, plan §4.3 prescribed
register-and-message + federation-version). Test code is correct.

E2e cold-verify BLOCKED:
- r1: `/_synapse/admin/v1/register` returned 404 — recipe doesn't route admin endpoints publicly.
  Pivoted to public client API + `ENABLE_REGISTRATION=true` via EXTRA_ENV.
- r2: abra deploy timed out at 300s (recipe's TIMEOUT env). Bumped to 900s via EXTRA_ENV.
- r3: abra deploy still timed out, this time at 900s.
- **Discovered cc-ci disk was 90% full** (10GB of reclaimable Docker images from prior runs).
- Pruned: disk freed to 55% used (12GB free). Should be plenty.
- r4: STILL abra deploy timed out at 900s. So not a disk issue — synapse + pgautoupgrade
  cold-start is genuinely slow on this single-node 3.5GB-RAM host. Bigger deploys take longer
  than the harness allows.

**Operator-level intervention needed** to unblock matrix-synapse + similar heavy recipes:
- More resources (RAM/CPU) on cc-ci host, OR
- A deploy-time-budget strategy (bump abra TIMEOUT beyond 900s — risky), OR
- A sequenced deploy mode that lets very-slow recipes have more time without blocking the
  generic harness.

For now: code is committed; e2e is blocked; will pivot to other recipes (Q3.3, Q3.5) or wait
for operator. Filed PushNotification to user.

## Decision log

Given the conversation has been very long + multiple heavy recipes are blocked on host capacity,
this is a natural pause point. Summary status:
- Q0/Q1/Q2 Adversary PASS ✓ (foundational harness, custom-html + n8n + keycloak full Phase-2)
- Q2.4 acceptance proven (dep resolver + SSO harness end-to-end with lasuite-docs+keycloak)
- Q3.1 (lasuite-docs) partial — parity + 2 specific; deeper OIDC env wiring deferred
- Q3.4 (cryptpad) partial — parity + 2 specific; deeper create-pad deferred with rationale
- Q4.1 (matrix-synapse) code-only — e2e blocked on host capacity
- Q5.1 docs partial — enroll-recipe.md Phase-2 contract pass landed
- Q3.2/Q3.3/Q3.5 + remaining Q4 + Q5.2/Q5.3 not started

The remaining work is substantial AND much of it touches the same host-capacity ceiling we hit
on matrix-synapse. The right next step is operator review of cc-ci's resource budget, not more
autonomous churn. Sending PushNotification.

## 2026-05-28 — Post-capacity-unblock sprint: matrix-synapse + bluesky-pds GREEN

Operator capacity-unblocked cc-ci (RAM 4→8GB, other VMs stopped). Resumed Phase 2.

**matrix-synapse (Q4.1) — cold green:**
- r5: still timed out (turns out not just capacity)
- Discovered the actual issue: synapse REFUSES to start with `ENABLE_REGISTRATION=true` UNLESS
  `enable_registration_without_verification=true` ALSO set (anti-spam guard). The recipe doesn't
  expose the second env. Looped log lines: `Error in configuration: You have enabled open
  registration without any verification.`
- Pivoted: dropped ENABLE_REGISTRATION; use the shared-secret admin register endpoint via
  `exec_in_app curl http://localhost:8008/_synapse/admin/v1/register` — bypasses public router
  (where /_synapse/admin/* returns 404), uses the abra-generated registration_shared_secret
  with HMAC-SHA1 per Synapse spec.
- r6: full register-2-users + send/receive message GREEN (sees a misplaced root-level copy of
  the test ran TWICE — once at root, once at functional/ — the functional/ one passed; root
  copy was sync residue).
- r7 (post-cleanup): clean GREEN. 5 assertions PASS (parity health + federation version + the
  §4.3 prescribed register-and-message + 2 install).

**bluesky-pds (Q4.3) — new enrollment + cold green:**
- Probed: `/xrpc/_health` available; recipe needs `pds_plc_rotation_key` secret (marked
  `generate=false` in recipe; secp256k1 32-byte hex).
- Wrote `install_steps.sh` that generates the key with cc-ci-run python's `secrets.token_bytes(32)
  .hex()` (random 32 bytes are almost-always valid secp256k1; P(invalid) ~= 2^-128 — equivalent
  to the openssl path the recipe README uses). Inserted via `abra app secret insert` under
  TTY-wrap.
- r1: `/.well-known/atproto-did` test failed (PDS doesn't auto-publish a server-DID at the bare
  domain). Replaced with `test_session_auth.py` — GET `/xrpc/com.atproto.server.getSession`
  expecting 401 + XRPC error envelope. This is the recipe-defining auth contract.
- r4 (final): install + 3 functional tests all PASS, deploy-count=1.

**Pattern reinforcement (from cryptpad lesson + n8n lesson):**
- "probe before assert" applied successfully here. The 4 e2e iterations on bluesky-pds were each
  for a real failure mode I learned from. Each iteration tightened the test design.
- Capacity unblock fixed the matrix-synapse timeout BUT the synapse open-registration check
  was independent. Capacity + recipe-specific config both matter.

**Phase 2 status (current):**
- Q0/Q1/Q2 Adversary PASS ✓
- Q3.1 partial (lasuite-docs), Q3.4 partial (cryptpad), Q4.1 done (matrix-synapse), Q4.3 done (bluesky-pds)
- Q5.1 docs partial
- Remaining: Q3.2/3.3/3.5 + Q4.2/4-10 + the deferred follow-ups (lasuite-docs OIDC wiring,
  cryptpad create-pad, matrix-synapse shell-script ports)

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.

### Correction (same session): cannot trim onlyoffice — recipe-as-is rule
Investigated the "disable onlyoffice to shrink the stack" idea from the entry above. The lasuite-drive
recipe ships a **single `compose.yml`** with collabora AND onlyoffice as unconditional services — no
`COMPOSE_FILE`/compose-profile toggle in `.env.sample`. Disabling onlyoffice would require editing the
recipe's `compose.yml`, which violates "test the recipe as-is / never modify the recipe under test"
(§7-equivalent corner-cut). So **the trim avenue is closed** — I test all 12 services. The only
legitimate levers for the rate-limit problem are: (1) **registry pull credentials** (the §1.5 operator
finding — requested), and (2) **don't `docker image prune` aggressively** between runs (it forces cold
re-pulls that burn the anonymous quota; let the cache persist). Disk pressure must instead be managed
by pruning ONLY truly-dangling images, or by the operator growing the cc-ci disk.
(Also noted: recipe env is `ONLY_OFFICE_DOMAIN`, underscore — my EXTRA_ENV flattened COLLABORA/MINIO
domains but not onlyoffice's; only matters for the WOPI/TLS path, to revisit when base converges.)

## 2026-05-28 (later) — Gitea restored; consumed Adversary inbox; fixed F2-11 (SSO-skip-goes-green)

Gitea (git.autonomic.zone) recovered ~21:08Z (orchestrator confirmed). Reconciled: `git pull --rebase`
(up to date), pushed my 2 queued local commits (1138d77 + 4a118ea → origin), then a 3rd pull picked up
the Adversary's `b941f55` (its outage-queued writes: F2-11 + REVIEW-2 idle checkpoint + BUILDER-INBOX).
Consumed + deleted BUILDER-INBOX. The 3 watchdog pings during the outage were phantoms (Adversary's
failed push retries) — nothing was lost.

**Adversary's BUILDER-INBOX (digested):** DONE-gate warnings (F2-7 authentik, F2-9 cryptpad create-pad,
ghost §4.3 create-post floor, Q3.2 drive specifics, full P1–P8 Q5 re-verify) — all need deploys, so
gated on the Docker Hub rate limit. Plus **F2-11** (medium, not a VETO), which is pure code → fixed it
now (rate-limit-independent).

**F2-11 — SSO-dep "deps-not-ready" SKIP must not yield a GREEN run.** Adversary cold-proved: when
`setup_custom_tests` fails for a DEPS-declaring recipe, `CCCI_DEPS_READY=0` → conftest skips every
`@requires_deps` test → a skip-only pytest file exits 0 → `run_custom` returns "pass" → `overall=0` →
`!testme` GREEN while the only SSO/OIDC test never ran. Violates P7.

Why my fix is shaped this way: the failure-isolation design (a transient SSO-setup failure must not
break the *generic* tier signal) is correct and I kept it — generic tier results stand untouched. The
defect was only that the green SIGNAL was indistinguishable from "SSO verified." So I correct the
signal, not the isolation:
- `conftest.pytest_collection_modifyitems` now COUNTS the requires_deps tests it skips and appends the
  count to `$CCCI_DEPS_SKIP_REPORT` (one line per pytest invocation; orchestrator sums across the
  per-custom-file loop). Chose a filesystem report (not exit code) because pytest has no "fail on
  skip" and a skip-only file legitimately exits 0 — the orchestrator already shares run-scoped temp
  files with the pytest subprocess (depsfile/statefile/countfile), so this matches the pattern.
- `run_recipe_ci`: reads + sums the count, surfaces it in RUN SUMMARY (`custom: pass (N requires_deps
  SKIPPED ... SSO UNVERIFIED)`), and a new pure predicate `sso_dep_unverified(declared, deps_ready,
  skipped)` flips `overall=1` when a recipe declares DEPS + deps not ready + ≥1 requires_deps skipped.
  Gated on skip>0 so a deps-declaring recipe with no requires_deps tests isn't false-failed.

Verified (both deploy-free — rate-limit-independent):
1. `cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/unit -q` → **35 passed** (28 prior + 7 new in test_f211_sso_skip.py:
   predicate truth table + conftest skip/record/append/noop-when-ready).
2. Cold real-test proof on cc-ci: `CCCI_DEPS_READY=0 CCCI_DEPS_SKIP_REPORT=/tmp/f211-skip.txt
   cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/lasuite-docs/functional/test_oidc_with_keycloak.py -rs` → `1 skipped`,
   `PYTEST_EXIT=0` (the hazard), but `/tmp/f211-skip.txt` now contains `1` → orchestrator would compute
   `sso_dep_unverified(["keycloak"], False, 1)=True` → `overall=1`. Hazard closed.

Full e2e (real deploy with a forced setup_custom_tests failure → observe overall=1) deferred to when
the Docker Hub rate limit lifts; the unit + cold-real-test proofs cover the predicate, the conftest
signal on real files, and the count flow — only the sequential read→sum→predicate→overall wiring is
unexercised by a live run, and it's straight-line code.

---

## 2026-05-29 — Phase 2 RESUMED after the 2w (warm-canonical) detour

Builder loop resumed on Phase 2 (per-recipe test authoring). Phase 2w ran to DONE in the interim
(warm-canonical/quick); the 2w changes (`runner/warm*.py`, `canonical.py`, `nightly_sweep.py`, WC5
promote-on-green-cold wired into `run_recipe_ci.main()`) are merged on origin/main HEAD `7b5ed9c`.

**Re-orientation done this tick:**
- Adversary's last Phase-2 commit `7b5ed9c review(2)` is a cross-phase break-it probe (2w WC5
  promotion × F2-11 SSO-skip): NO regression, no finding, NO VETO — F2-11 protection holds under
  WC5 (promotion strictly gated on the fully-computed `overall`, which the F2-11 predicate flips to
  1 before the promote check). So no gate of mine to advance, nothing to fix.
- All Adversary findings closed (F2-10, F2-11). Gates Q0/Q1/Q2 PASS. Q3/Q4 partial.

**Server build clone established:** `/root/builder-clone` (origin/main, secrets submodule skipped —
not needed for recipe tests; Gitea token comes from `/run/secrets/bridge_gitea_token`, dockerhub
auth from sops-rendered `/root/.docker/config.json`). `/root/cc-ci` is the nix-deploy materialised
copy (no `.git`), `/root/adv-verify` is the Adversary's. I run e2e from `/root/builder-clone`.

**Foundation re-confirmed post-2w (this tick):**
- `cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/unit -q` → **72 passed** (Phase-2 harness survived the 2w merge).
- `RECIPE=custom-html cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py` → all 5 tiers PASS, deploy-count=1, WC5
  promoted canonical custom-html → 1.11.0+1.29.0. Full install→upgrade→backup→restore→custom
  pipeline healthy on the current harness.

**Reference-corpus mapping (key planning fact).** Corpus at `/srv/recipe-maintainer/recipe-info/`
(NOT `references/` — that path in the plan is stale). Present: authentik, bluesky-pds, cryptpad,
custom-html, gitea, hedgedoc, immich, keycloak, lasuite-docs, lasuite-drive, lasuite-meet, lichen,
lichen-markdown, matrix-synapse, mumble, n8n. Implication for P2 (parity):
- §5 recipes WITH reference parity still to port: **lasuite-meet, immich, mumble** (+ already done:
  bluesky-pds, cryptpad, custom-html, keycloak, lasuite-docs, lasuite-drive, matrix-synapse, n8n).
- §5 recipes with NO reference → P2 vacuous, need only ≥2 specifics + lifecycle: **plausible, ghost,
  uptime-kuma (done), mattermost-lts, discourse, mailu, drone**.
- authentik: SSO provider, Q2.2 deferred (lands only if a dependent needs it).
- gitea/hedgedoc/lichen* are in the corpus but NOT in §5 → out of scope.

**Remaining §5 work:** Q3.3 lasuite-meet, Q3.5 immich, Q4.2 mumble (parity+specifics, need
mirror/enroll), Q4.5 mattermost-lts, Q4.6 discourse, Q4.7 plausible (finish specifics), Q4.9 mailu,
Q4.10 drone (specifics only), + deferral lift cryptpad create-pad (F2-9, must lift before DONE).

**In flight this tick:** full `RECIPE=lasuite-drive` e2e on `/root/builder-clone`
(log `/root/ccci-resume-lasuite-drive.log`) — lasuite-drive suite (health parity + real MinIO S3
upload/list/download round-trip + OIDC password-grant JWT-claims against dep keycloak) is fully
authored; driving it to its first verified-green full run (the Q3.2 acceptance evidence).

---

## 2026-05-29 — lasuite-drive full e2e: upgrade tier hits a DISK-SIZE env blocker (host health emergency handled)

Drove lasuite-drive (heaviest §5 recipe — BOTH office backends) toward its first verified-green full
run. install tier PASSED (generic test_serving + cc-ci test_serving_and_frontend; all 12 services
converged after collabora won its startup race — see below). backup tier PASSED. Then the **upgrade
tier FAILED** and disk hit **99% (522M free)**, risking a host wedge.

**Root cause (definitive, from the abra DEPLOY OVERVIEW in the log):** the prev→PR-head upgrade
crosses *two different multi-GB office image versions simultaneously*:
- onlyoffice/documentserver-de: 9.2 → **9.3.1.2** (3.94GB image)
- collabora/code: 25.04.9.1.1 → 25.04.9.4.1 (~1GB)
- (+ small drive-backend/frontend v0.12.0→v0.18.0, redis, nginx)
abra's in-place chaos rolling update must hold BOTH the running prev office images AND pull the new
ones before swapping — ~10GB of office images transiently. The 28GB host has only ~14GB docker
headroom over the ~13GB baseline (nix store ~9.6GB + infra images ~1.75GB), so the PR-head pull
overflowed. **No harness mitigation exists:** the prev images are *running* (not dangling) when the
new must be pulled, and you cannot `docker rmi` a running image; a pre-upgrade prune finds nothing
dangling. It is fundamentally a disk-SIZE constraint, driven by the recipe legitimately bumping office
image tags across releases. Not a test-quality issue and not weakenable.

**collabora startup race (separate, self-resolving):** collabora/code logs
`/usr/bin/coolmount: Operation not permitted` (CapAdd=[] + default seccomp blocks mount()), falls back
to slow file-COPYING into its jail; the healthcheck killed an early task (exit 137) but a later task
finished the copy and reached 1/1. So collabora converges, just flaps once or twice first. Not the
blocker; noting in case it recurs on slower disk.

**Emergency handled — host fully restored:** killed the run (`pkill -f run_recipe_ci.py`), removed the
orphaned `lasu-7ea5e3` stack + its volumes (minio, postgres) + 8 leftover secrets (the killed run's
teardown never ran), pruned dangling images. Disk recovered 99% → 37% (17GB free). Infra stacks
(traefik/drone/dashboard/bridge/backups/warm-keycloak) untouched and healthy throughout.

**Decision:** the upgrade tier for lasuite-drive (and very likely other heavy recipes: lasuite-docs
also ships collabora; immich ships multi-GB ML images; lasuite-meet) is a genuine **Class A1 env-level
disk blocker** — the clean fix is a larger host disk (operator). Filed in DEFERRED.md + DECISIONS.md +
BACKLOG-2; flagged to operator (PushNotification) and Adversary (inbox). Meanwhile banking the
**maximal testable subset** (install+backup+restore+custom — single version, fits disk) to prove
lasuite-drive's actual Q3.2 CONTENT works: parity health, the real MinIO S3 upload→list→download
round-trip, and the OIDC password-grant + JWT-claims flow against the dep keycloak. Per §7.1 the
maximal subset is implemented and only the genuinely-disk-blocked upgrade tier is outstanding —
pending Adversary sign-off on the env-blocker.

---

## 2026-05-29 — lasuite-drive: --detach fix validated, but OIDC setup redeploy is FLAKY (NOT claiming Q3.2 yet)

Ran lasuite-drive maximal subset (install,backup,restore,custom) four times today:
- **Run 1** (`ccci-drive-subset.log`): all tiers + all 3 functional GREEN (health, MinIO round-trip,
  OIDC JWT) — but required a manual kill of the hung `docker service scale` (the bug I then fixed with
  `--detach`, commit `f1c626c`). So the test ASSERTIONS are all correct and CAN pass.
- **Runs 2 & 3** (`-clean`, `-clean2`): corrupted by MY OWN over-eager `docker image prune -f` mid-deploy
  — it removed the just-pulled, not-yet-attached digest-pinned images (drive-frontend, onlyoffice),
  so swarm rejected with "No such image" and install failed/timed out. **LESSON: never
  `docker image prune` during an active deploy — mid-pull images look dangling and get removed.**
  Confirmed self-inflicted: `docker pull lasuite/drive-frontend@sha256:eeef…` succeeded (image is on
  hub), and after seeding it the stack converged. Not a recipe/test issue.
- **Run 4** (`-clean3`, warm images, hands-off, fixed `--detach`): install/backup/restore all PASS,
  health + MinIO PASS, **but the OIDC test SKIPPED because `setup_custom_tests.sh` exited 1** — its
  step-3 in-place `abra app deploy --force --chaos` (applies the OIDC env) FAILED to converge
  ("FATA deploy failed"; abra log shows backend `Permission denied: /.gunicorn` + celery
  `configure_wopi: 404 from collabora discovery url`). Per F2-11 the run correctly went RED (no false
  green) — `custom: pass (1 requires_deps SKIPPED — SSO UNVERIFIED)`, overall=1. The `--detach` fix
  itself works (bucket scale returned, secret inserted v2); the failure is the full-stack redeploy.

**Root finding: the OIDC-wiring step (a full 12-service in-place `--chaos` redeploy) is FLAKY on this
heaviest stack** — collabora's reconverge race + a transient backend gunicorn-perms/WOPI-404 window
mean the redeploy succeeds only sometimes (run 1 yes, run 4 no). The OIDC env change only affects
backend/app, so re-converging collabora/onlyoffice is unnecessary exposure. Fix direction (BACKLOG):
wire OIDC at INSTALL time (no post-deploy redeploy — like lasuite-docs install_steps), or make the
setup redeploy resilient (retry / wait for collabora WOPI discovery 200 before declaring ready).

**Decision:** NOT claiming Q3.2 — a flaky OIDC setup is not a reliable green, and claiming would risk
an Adversary cold-verify FAIL. lasuite-drive stays [~]: test content proven correct (run 1), `--detach`
bug fixed, two open issues (disk-blocker on upgrade tier [DEFERRED/operator]; flaky OIDC redeploy
[BACKLOG, needs robustness work]). **Pivoting to lighter recipes for broad Phase-2 progress**;
lasuite-drive's OIDC robustness + upgrade-disk return later. Host left clean (all stacks torn down,
disk 65%, infra healthy).

---

## 2026-05-29 — Next unit scouted: mumble (Q4.2) — design for the first NON-HTTP recipe

Pivoted off heavy lasuite-drive to a lighter recipe. mumble: recipe.toml has NO deps, single light
service (mumblevoip/mumble-server:v1.6.870-0) → fast deploys, low disk (avoids the lasuite-drive
heaviness/flakiness). BUT it's the first non-HTTP recipe: raw Mumble protocol over TLS on TCP 64738
(+ UDP). Reference corpus `/srv/recipe-maintainer/recipe-info/mumble/tests/`: health_check.py (TCP
connect to 64738), mumble_connect.py (pure-stdlib TLS handshake: Version + auth-accepted +
ChannelState + ServerSync + welcome text — portable as-is), web_client.py (HTTPS web UI, needs
`compose.mumbleweb.yml` overlay).

**Reachability decision (the crux):** cc-ci's traefik is HTTP(S)-only; the recipe declares traefik
TCP/UDP router labels but cc-ci has no :64738 TCP entrypoint, and host→overlay-container-IP isn't
reliably routable. **Chosen approach: run the protocol probe from a throwaway `python:3-slim`
sidecar container attached to the app's overlay network**, connecting to the murmur service by its
swarm DNS name (`app`) on 64738. No traefik change, no host-port publish, no compose-overlay
selection needed — the harness already knows the stack/network name. This becomes a small reusable
harness primitive (`run probe container on app network`) for any future non-HTTP recipe. Record in
DECISIONS.md when implemented.

**Enrollment plan (next tick):** mirror-check mumble on recipe-maintainers (auto-mirror if absent per
plan §0b); `tests/mumble/recipe_meta.py` (no DEPS; HEALTH via the sidecar TCP probe, not HTTP —
needs a recipe_meta hook or a custom install overlay since the generic HTTP health check won't apply;
likely set CCCI_SKIP_GENERIC or provide a TCP-aware install overlay); port health_check +
mumble_connect as functional tests using the sidecar primitive; ≥2 specifics (protocol handshake +
channel-list presence beyond TCP health); PARITY.md; e2e (light/fast). web_client.py deferred unless
the mumbleweb overlay is enabled. Open question to resolve in code: how the generic install tier
(HTTP health) behaves for a non-HTTP recipe — may need a per-recipe "health kind = tcp" in
recipe_meta consumed by the generic harness.

---

## 2026-05-29 — mumble scope CORRECTION: non-HTTP health is a high-blast-radius core-harness feature, not a light add

On deeper inspection, mumble's non-HTTP nature is NOT a small adaptation. The HTTP health assumption
is baked into the CORE health path used by EVERY recipe + the 2w warm system:
- `run_recipe_ci._load_meta` defaults (HEALTH_PATH/HEALTH_OK) + the mirrored `conftest._recipe_meta`.
- `lifecycle.wait_healthy(domain, ok_codes, path, ...)` — the orchestrator's post-deploy HTTP poll at
  THREE call sites (run_recipe_ci.py:467 warm/canonical, :633, :737).
- `canonical.deploy_canonical` health gate (warm-cache, 2w).
- `generic.assert_serving` (HTTP fetch + served_cert) and restore-health.
Supporting a TCP/protocol recipe means threading a `HEALTH_KIND` (http|tcp) through ALL of these with
default="http" preserving current behavior. That's a legitimate harness feature but HIGH BLAST RADIUS
(a regression breaks every recipe and the warm sweep), so it warrants a dedicated, careful effort with
unit tests + a no-regression re-run of an HTTP recipe + Adversary scrutiny of the core change — NOT a
tail-of-session cram. **Filed as its own unit (Q4.2 stays open; needs the non-HTTP-health harness
feature first).** Also: mumble's app is only on the `proxy` net and routes via a traefik `mumble` TCP
entrypoint cc-ci lacks (HostSNI + TLS passthrough) — the custom protocol test still needs the
python-sidecar-on-proxy-net probe.

**Next-unit re-pick:** prefer an HTTP-NATIVE recipe that uses the proven harness with zero core
changes — **mattermost-lts (Q4.5)** is the candidate (HTTP UI+API via traefik; §4.3 = create-a-message
round-trip is pure test-authoring, not harness surgery). Scout it next: confirm it's HTTP-native +
self-contained DB (vs needing a dep), mirror-check, then enroll (recipe_meta + lifecycle overlays +
≥2 specifics + PARITY note [no reference corpus → P2 vacuous]). Keeps blast radius low and adds real
coverage. mumble/mailu (non-HTTP) batch behind the HEALTH_KIND harness feature.

## 2026-05-29 — DISK RESIZE 30→70GB in progress (orchestrator) — disk-blocker LIFTING; deploys paused

Orchestrator is resizing the cc-ci VM disk 30→70GB; VM RESTARTS (few-min outage + live-warm keycloak
re-warms on boot, up to ~10min). Actions: PAUSED new deploys; the in-flight mattermost-lts
install+custom e2e (`ccci-mattermost2.log`) will die transiently with the restart — that is the
restart, NOT a bug; re-run after. Waiting for the orchestrator's "back + healthy" signal (fallback
self-poll meanwhile).

**Impact (big):** this lifts the heavy-recipe upgrade-tier disk blocker (DEFERRED 2026-05-29 →
LIFTING). After cc-ci is healthy I can:
1. Re-run **lasuite-drive FULL lifecycle** (install+upgrade+backup+restore+custom) — the upgrade tier's
   dual multi-GB office-image crossover (~10GB transient) now fits in 70GB. This is the path to the
   real Q3.2 green (modulo the separate Q3.2a OIDC-redeploy flakiness — watch whether the bigger disk
   also eases the redeploy convergence, though the flakiness root was collabora reconverge timing, not
   disk). With more headroom the collabora re-pull churn from my earlier prune mistakes also stops
   biting.
