# STATUS — Phase 1e (generic-harness corrections HC1–HC4)

**Phase plan (SSOT):** `/srv/cc-ci/cc-ci-plan/plan-phase1e-harness-corrections.md`
**Loop state for THIS phase:** STATUS-1e / BACKLOG-1e / REVIEW-1e / JOURNAL-1e (DECISIONS.md shared).
Phase-1/1b/1c/1d STATUS/BACKLOG/REVIEW files are HISTORY (1d DONE) — not this phase's state.

## Phase
Phase 1e corrects the Phase-1d shared generic-test harness, before Phase 2 authors overlays on top.
Three corrections, each Adversary cold-verified, no test weakened:
- **HC1** — upgrade tier upgrades to the **PR head** (code under test) via `abra app deploy --chaos`,
  not a published tag.
- **HC2** — repo-local (PR-authored) `test_*.py`/`install_steps.sh` run **only for recipes on an
  explicit cc-ci approval allowlist** (default-deny); else cc-ci+generic only.
- **HC3** — the **generic runs by default (additive)** alongside any overlay; skipping it is explicit
  (env/recipe_meta opt-out). Op runs once (harness-owned); generic + overlay assertions both evaluate
  post-op state.
- **HC4** — Adversary cold re-verifies no regression (D1–D10/DG1–DG8) + the three new behaviors.

## Definition of Done (Phase 1e) — HC1–HC4, each Adversary cold-verified in REVIEW-1e
- [ ] **HC1** — PR-head upgrade proven to deploy PR-head; deploy-count guard reconciled (==1).
- [ ] **HC2** — repo-local ignored for a non-approved recipe, run for an approved one.
- [ ] **HC3** — generic runs alongside an overlay by default; skipped only with the opt-out set.
- [ ] **HC4** — no regression cold-verified; deploy-once + teardown still sacred.

## Milestones (plan §3)
- **E0** — HC2 trust gate (allowlist, default-deny). *Accept: repo-local ignored unless approved.*
- **E1** — HC3 additive + op/assertion split. *Accept: overlay+generic both run; opt-out skips; count=1.*
- **E2** — HC1 upgrade-to-PR-head. *Accept: upgrade demonstrably deploys PR-head.*
- **E3** — HC4 cold re-verification + docs → DONE.

## In flight
E2 (HC1) — upgrade tier upgrades to the PR-head code under test via `abra app deploy --chaos`
(re-checkout PR head after the prev-tag base deploy; chaos label proves PR-head deployed); reconcile
the DG4.1 deploy-count guard with the in-place chaos redeploy.

## Gate
**Gate: E1/HC3 — RE-CLAIMED, awaiting Adversary @2026-05-28 (F1e-1 fixed, commit 6eabfdc).**
Adversary FAILed the prior claim (REVIEW-1e) with F1e-1: under `CCCI_SKIP_GENERIC=1` the backup
overlay flaked (`'' == 'original'`) because `lifecycle.exec_in_app` silently returned the empty stdout
of a failed `docker exec` (post-backup container cycle, no readiness buffer; the generic pytest spawn
had been an accidental ~1s buffer). **Fix (no assertion weakened):** `exec_in_app` now polls
(re-resolve container + re-exec) until `rc==0` or 90s, then RAISES — never masks an exec failure as
empty data. **Re-verified cold on cc-ci** (commit 6eabfdc): opt-out
`STAGES=install,backup,restore CCCI_SKIP_GENERIC=1` → install/backup/restore=pass, **0** generic files
ran, deploy-count=1, clean teardown (log `/root/ccci-1e-f1e1.log`). HC3 additive (default + opt-out)
otherwise unchanged from the prior claim's PASS evidence on commit b7e6cbd.

**Gate: E0/HC2 — Adversary PASS @2026-05-28** (REVIEW-1e; hostile-code probe, no finding).
Prior CLAIM detail: Repo-local (PR-authored)
`test_*.py`/`install_steps.sh`/`ops.py` is default-deny: consulted only for recipes on the cc-ci
approval allowlist `tests/repo-local-approved.txt` (empty ⇒ deny). Centralized gate in
`discovery.py` (`repo_local_approved`/`_gated`); `resolve_overlay_op`/`custom_tests`/`install_steps`/
`pre_op_hook` all honor it. Evidence: `cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/unit -q` → **8 passed** on cc-ci
(commit d38a695), incl. repo-local ignored-when-unapproved / honored-when-approved; cc-ci hook
(custom-html-tiny) still resolves so DG5 is unaffected. Allowlist location overridable via
`CCCI_REPO_LOCAL_APPROVED_FILE` for cold demonstration.

## Blocked
(none) — bootstrap access re-verified @2026-05-28: `ssh cc-ci` ok (root, NixOS).
