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.
Phase plan: /srv/cc-ci/cc-ci-plan/plan-phase2-recipe-tests.md
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
$REF). Per HC2, repo-local PR-authored code runs only for recipes on
tests/repo-local-approved.txt (default-deny).
Bootstrap (this session):
git pull --rebase— already up to date.- Verified §1 access:
ssh cc-ciOK (NixOS 24.11), Gitea API HTTP 200, wildcardprobe-$RANDOM.ci.commoninternet.netresolves to gateway143.244.213.108. - 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).
- 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.
- 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 globstest_*.pyat 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.mdmapping 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 withSOURCE: recipe-info/custom-html/tests/health_check.pycomment for audit.functional/test_content_roundtrip.py— NEW: write auuid.uuid4()marker into nginx's/usr/share/nginx/htmlvolume, 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+.txtfiles with same body ("hello"), HEAD each, assertContent-Type: text/htmlandtext/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.

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.jsonraised). 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:
- 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. - 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/loginshape 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).

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/setupwith 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'sn8n-authcookie) → cookie header for subsequent requests. - POST
/rest/workflowswith 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.

===== 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— readDEPS = [...]from a recipe'srecipe_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).
- test user with class-B per-run-generated password);
- 7 unit tests in
tests/unit/test_deps.py. The unit-testtest_dep_domain_distinct_per_parentcaught 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_depssilently suppressed teardown failures viacontextlib.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 stackkeyc-c12afewas 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_realmwould 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 toverify=Truesolifecycle.teardown_appraises on residuals; loop catches per-dep failures, logs LOUDLY, but continues to teardown other deps; after all attempts, raises a combinedTeardownError.run_recipe_ci.py: catches the depTeardownErrorin finally; surfaces viadep_teardown_errorin the summary + non-zero exit code; run still prints diagnostics so a teardown failure doesn't hide other failures.

Post-run cc-ci state (verified 30s later): docker stack ls | grep keyc → empty;

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:
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- cryptpad create-a-pad deeper test — CryptPad's pad-creation flow is version-specific (DECISIONS Phase-2 Q3.4 section logs the rationale).
- 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
curlsurvey 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/registerreturned 404 — recipe doesn't route admin endpoints publicly. Pivoted to public client API +ENABLE_REGISTRATION=truevia 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=trueUNLESSenable_registration_without_verification=trueALSO set (anti-spam guard). The recipe doesn't expose the second env.

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:
-
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 devicein 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. -
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). -
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:...returnedtoomanyrequests: 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).
-
Gitea (git.autonomic.zone) is down — bare host
/, unauth/api/v1/version, and authed repo API all return plain-text404 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-verifyclone is stale at1aaf3bd(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_modifyitemsnow 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 predicatesso_dep_unverified(declared, deps_ready, skipped)flipsoverall=1when 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):
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).- 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.txtnow contains1→ orchestrator would computesso_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-computedoverall, 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 rmia 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 hungdocker service scale(the bug I then fixed with--detach, commitf1c626c). So the test ASSERTIONS are all correct and CAN pass. - Runs 2 & 3 (
-clean,-clean2): corrupted by MY OWN over-eagerdocker image prune -fmid-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: neverdocker image pruneduring 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 becausesetup_custom_tests.shexited 1 — its step-3 in-placeabra app deploy --force --chaos(applies the OIDC env) FAILED to converge ("FATA deploy failed"; abra log shows backendPermission denied: /.gunicorn+ celeryconfigure_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--detachfix 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_metadefaults (HEALTH_PATH/HEALTH_OK) + the mirroredconftest._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_canonicalhealth gate (warm-cache, 2w).generic.assert_serving(HTTP fetch + served_cert) and restore-health. Supporting a TCP/protocol recipe means threading aHEALTH_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 theproxynet and routes via a traefikmumbleTCP 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:
- 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.
- Re-run mattermost-lts install+custom (validate the create-message §4.3 round-trip) — it had just launched when the resize started.
- Resume broad heavy-recipe coverage (immich, lasuite-meet) with real disk headroom.
Note: with 70GB, I can also be less aggressive about teardown/prune churn between heavy runs.
