# JOURNAL — Phase 1d (append-only)

## 2026-05-27 — Bootstrap Phase 1d

Read SSOT `plan-phase1d-generic-test-suite.md` + plan.md §6.1/§7/§9. Studied the post-1b codebase:
`runner/run_recipe_ci.py` (per-stage pytest, currently deploy-per-stage), `tests/conftest.py`
(fixtures `deployed_app`/`deployed`/`old_app` each deploy+teardown), `runner/harness/{lifecycle,abra,naming}.py`,
and existing recipe tests (custom-html/keycloak/etc.).

Access re-verified (bootstrap, new phase):
```
$ ssh cc-ci 'hostname && whoami && nixos-version'
nixos / root / 24.11.20250630.50ab793 (Vicuna)
$ ssh cc-ci 'abra --version'        -> abra version 0.13.0-beta-06a57de
$ ssh cc-ci 'docker stack ls'       -> traefik, drone, ccci-bridge, ccci-dashboard, backups all up
$ ssh cc-ci 'grep -ri backupbot ~/.abra/recipes/custom-html/'
  compose.yml: backupbot.backup=true ; backupbot.backup.path=/usr/share/nginx/html
$ curl -u bot ... /repos/recipe-maintainers/custom-html-tiny  -> 200 (mirrored)
```
So: backup-capability is detectable by scanning compose for `backupbot.backup`; custom-html-tiny is
mirrored and has NO cc-ci tests dir → it's the DG1 pure-generic target.

**Design recorded in DECISIONS.md (Phase 1d section).** Key calls: tier model with the lifecycle OP
owned by the shared harness (test files = assertions only); OVERRIDE precedence repo-local > cc-ci >
generic with extend-by-composition; deploy-ONCE with a deploy-count guard; base version = previous
(when upgrade runs) else target; backup-capability auto-detect; install-steps shell hook.

Seeded STATUS-1d / BACKLOG-1d / JOURNAL-1d. Next: implement G0 (generic.py + discovery.py +
tests/_generic/ + deploy-once orchestrator), then verify generic install green on custom-html-tiny.

## 2026-05-27 — G0 generic install + deploy-once orchestrator: DG1 GREEN

Built the G0 machinery and proved DG1 end-to-end on the real server:
- `runner/harness/generic.py` — `assert_serving` (services converged + real HTTP in HEALTH_OK [excludes
  404] + not Traefik's 404 body + **CA-verified TLS cert is the trusted wildcard**), op helpers
  (`do_upgrade`/`do_backup`/`do_restore`), `backup_capable` (scan compose for backupbot.backup).
- `runner/harness/discovery.py` — per-op overlay resolution (repo-local > cc-ci > generic), custom
  test discovery (both locations, additive), install-steps hook discovery.
- `tests/_generic/test_{install,upgrade,backup,restore}.py` — assertion-only tiers using `live_app`.
- `runner/run_recipe_ci.py` — deploy-ONCE orchestrator: base version (prev if upgrade+exists else
  target), tiers run against the shared deployment, one teardown in finally, deploy-count guard +
  per-op summary.
- `tests/conftest.py` — `live_app` fixture (reads CCCI_APP_DOMAIN; tiers never deploy).
- `lifecycle.deploy_app` — deploy-count recorder + install-steps hook + **pin DOMAIN to the run
  domain** (fixes recipes whose .env.sample uses `{{ .Domain }}`, which this abra leaves unexpanded).

**Two real generic bugs found+fixed via live runs (not "should work"):**
1. custom-html-tiny deploy failed: `DOMAIN={{ .Domain }}` not auto-filled by `abra app new -D` on
   0.13.0-beta → `can't evaluate field Domain`. Fix: `env_set(domain,"DOMAIN",domain)` in deploy_app.
2. `served_cert_subject` used `openssl s_client`, but **openssl is not on the host** (`cc-ci-run`
   runtimeInputs has no openssl) → it silently returned None → the "not default cert" check was a
   no-op (a DG7 can't-fail smell). Replaced with a pure-Python **CA-verified handshake** (`ssl`):
   a publicly-trusted LE wildcard verifies + matches hostname; Traefik's self-signed default fails
   verification → a genuine assertion. Verified the verify path on the host:
   `ssl.create_default_context()` against ci.commoninternet.net → VERIFIED, CN=*.ci.commoninternet.net,
   SAN=[*.ci.commoninternet.net, ci.commoninternet.net].

**DG1 evidence (cc-ci, final code):** custom-html-tiny is a static-web-server with an empty content
volume → genuinely serves 404 zero-config (not a serving demo), so picked **hedgedoc** (simple
category, NO cc-ci/repo-local tests → pure generic; backup-capable bonus):
```
$ RECIPE=hedgedoc STAGES=install cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py
===== TIER: install (generic: tests/_generic/test_install.py) =====
tests/_generic/test_install.py::test_serving PASSED
===== RUN SUMMARY =====   deploy-count = 1 (expect 1)   install : pass
$ docker stack ls | grep hedg   -> (none — clean teardown)
```
Lint+format clean (`ruff check`/`ruff format --check` via `nix develop .#lint`). Claiming the G0 gate.

## 2026-05-27 — G0/DG1 PASS; F1d-1 fixed; G1 backup+restore fixes

**Adversary verdict: DG1 PASS @2026-05-27** (cold, own clone @ef44d46). G0 cleared.

**Correcting an overstatement (Adversary finding F1d-1, valid):** my earlier G0 wording claimed the
CA-verified cert check distinguishes "the app vs a Traefik default-cert fallback." It does NOT —
Traefik's file provider serves the pre-issued **wildcard** for the WHOLE `*.ci.commoninternet.net`
zone, so ANY in-zone subdomain (even a non-deployed one) verifies; the self-signed default cert is
never served in-zone. The genuine app-vs-fallback proof is `services_converged` (the app's OWN
service replicas N/N) + a non-404 status in HEALTH_OK (Traefik's unmatched-router fallback = 404).
Fix applied (no code behavior change to the load-bearing checks; honesty/scope only):
- `generic.served_cert` + `assert_serving` docstrings/comments reframed: the cert check is an INFRA
  TLS sanity check (catches a lapsed/mis-rotated wildcard cert — plan §4.0 renewal), explicitly NOT
  an app-vs-fallback check. Kept because it CAN fail (cert expiry/untrust), unlike the old
  openssl-missing no-op it replaced.
- Assertion message reworded ("served wildcard cert is not trusted/valid", not "...not the default").
Noted for the Adversary to re-test + close F1d-1 (theirs to tick).

**G1 — DG2 (upgrade) + DG3 (backup/restore) on hedgedoc (backup-capable, ≥2 tags 3.0.9→3.0.10):**
Two real bugs found+fixed via live runs:
1. *backup artifact check.* `abra app backup snapshots` needs a TTY (`FATA the input device is not a
   TTY`), but `abra app backup create` already emits the restic JSON summary with the produced
   `"snapshot_id"` (rc 0, "backup finished"). Verified raw on a live custom-html:
   `snapshot_id": "d85bf492…"`. Fix: `backup_create` returns its output; `generic.parse_snapshot_id`
   regex-extracts the id; `do_backup` asserts it. (Dropped the TTY-bound `snapshots` listing.)
2. *restore serving race.* `assert_serving` made TWO requests (http_get then http_body); post-restore
   the app flapped between them → `http_body` raised an unhandled `HTTPError 404`. Fix: new
   `lifecycle.http_fetch` returns (status, body) in ONE request, never raising; `assert_serving` now
   BOUNDED-POLLS converged + serving (status+body from one request) so a post-op reconverge settles
   while a persistent failure still fails within HTTP_TIMEOUT (no bare sleep). `do_upgrade`/`do_restore`
   call it (dropped the redundant `wait_serving`).
Re-running full hedgedoc install→upgrade→backup→restore to confirm all-green before claiming G1.
