# REVIEW — phase `redfix` (Adversary)
Phase SSOT: `/srv/cc-ci/cc-ci-plan/plan-phase-redfix-canon-sweep-failures.md`
Mission: investigate every canon-sweep failure (discourse, mattermost-lts, mumble, bluesky-pds,
gitea, keycloak), isolate → root-cause → classify (flake vs genuine; recipe vs test vs
warm-machinery vs load) → FIX each via a recipe PR or harness improvement → verify green.
No standing exceptions. Nothing merged.
Gates:
- **M1** — all six investigated in isolation, classified with evidence. Adversary cold-verifies:
claimed flake = reproducibly green in isolation (and red under load); claimed recipe defect =
genuinely the recipe (not a stale test / harness artifact); claimed warm-machinery bug = in cc-ci.
- **M2** — all six FIXED + verified green (recipe PR via `!testme`; harness/cc-ci PR via the harness;
flake-stabilization green under load). All six promote/pass. No standing exception. Nothing merged.
DONE = Builder writes `## DONE` only after M1+M2 fresh Adversary PASS here.

## Verdicts
### M1 — investigate + isolate + classify: **PASS** @ 2026-06-18T01:18Z
Gate claim: `claim(redfix-M1)` commit `0a06c41` (@00:25Z). Verified from a COLD START on cc-ci with my
OWN isolation re-runs (one recipe at a time, no concurrent load) — NOT the Builder's logs. Isolation
discipline honored: verdict formed from the phase plan (SSOT), the recipe code / git history, the
verification info in STATUS, and my own cold acceptance runs; I did NOT read JOURNAL-redfix.md before
writing this verdict.
All six classifications are CORRECT. Evidence per recipe (full detail in the verification log below):
| Recipe | My independent reproduction | Classification — verified |
|---|---|---|
| **discourse** | my isolation run `/tmp/adv-discourse.log`: install/backup/restore/custom PASS, upgrade FAIL on the 2 PR-faithfulness overlay asserts; **converged in minutes, no FATA/rc=142/wedge** | **stale/PR-specific cc-ci OVERLAY test** (canon "timeout" root-cause was WRONG — confirmed). Recipe deploys+serves fine. ✔ |
| **mattermost-lts** | my isolation run `/tmp/adv-mattermost.log`: **restore FAIL deterministically** (`relation "ci_marker" does not exist`, 91s, isolated) | **genuine RECIPE defect** — no `backupbot.restore.post-hook`; NOT the canon "loaded-node race." ✔ |
| **mumble** | my isolation run `/tmp/adv-mumble.log`: ALL 5 tiers GREEN incl `test_handshake_completes_with_channel_presence`; promote OK | **load/timing FLAKE** — green in isolation (a recipe defect would red deterministically; it didn't). ✔ |
| **bluesky-pds** | my isolation run `/tmp/adv-bluesky.log` + live caddy diag: cold GREEN, warm promote **000 deterministic**; `getent app`→10.10.0.4 (foreign proxy), own app 10.0.5.6 never resolved; caddy log cycles `dial 10.10.0.{4..12}:3000 refused` | **genuine recipe ROUTING defect** (bare `app` + caddy on shared `proxy`), NOT cc-ci promote-machinery (it correctly refused to promote), NOT flake. (Reverses the plan's "warm-machinery" prior — confirmed against it.) ✔ |
| **gitea** | my isolation run `/tmp/adv-gitea.log` + container crash log: cold GREEN, warm advance crash-loops 0/1; `LoadCommonSettings() [F] … error saving JWT Secret … "/etc/gitea/app.ini": read-only file system`; canonical correctly stayed 3.5.3 (promote timed out, refused) | **genuine RECIPE defect** (3.6.0 JWT save vs read-only app.ini docker-config mount; `/etc/gitea` is a writable volume but the app.ini file is the RO config). ✔ |
| **keycloak** | code-verified: `canonical.canonical_domain('keycloak')``warm.stable_domain``warm-keycloak.ci.commoninternet.net` == `warm.WARM_DOMAINS['keycloak']` (warm.py:47 documents the equality); live keycloak 200 on `/realms/master` | **HARNESS defect** (data-warm canonical domain collides with the live-warm OIDC provider; no collision-free namespace). ✔ |
No defects in the classification work. No VETO. Node verified clean before AND after my runs (only infra
+ live warm-keycloak; gitea restored to undeployed idle 3.5.3, volumes retained, canonical commit
`e6a1cc79` unchanged; warm-keycloak healthy throughout). **M1 PASS — Builder cleared to proceed to M2.**
(M2 will re-verify each FIX green; this PASS is for the investigation/classification gate only.)
_(prior placeholder removed)_
## Adversary verification log
- 2026-06-17T23:18Z — Phase redfix opened. Refreshed phase plan + plan.md §6.1. Cold access to cc-ci
confirmed (`ssh cc-ci`: host `nixos`, uptime 4d, `systemctl --failed` empty, load ~0.8). No Builder
state files (`STATUS/BACKLOG/JOURNAL-redfix.md`) yet; no gate claimed. Idling for the first claim.
- 2026-06-18T00:10Z — Non-contending pre-staging (M1 NOT yet claimed; Builder mid-investigation:
gitea isolation running, keycloak pending). Stayed OFF the swarm to avoid contaminating the
Builder's isolation runs. Independently corroborated two deterministic static claims via pure
code reads on cc-ci (no deploys):
* **mattermost-lts** (recipe @ `2.1.9+10.11.15`): postgres svc has `backupbot.backup.pre-hook`
(pg_dump → /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgres-backup.sql), `backup.post-hook` (rm dump),
`backup.path=/var/lib/postgresql/data/` (hot live PGDATA) — and **NO `backupbot.restore.post-hook`**.
immich (passes) uses dump-only `backup.volumes.postgres.path: backup.sql` + `restore.post-hook:
/pg_backup.sh restore`. Corroborates "genuine recipe defect — no restore round-trip." ✔ pre-staged.
* **discourse** (recipe @ `0.8.1+3.5.0` = `bitnamilegacy/discourse:3.5.0` + sidekiq): overlay
`tests/discourse/test_upgrade.py` is a phase-prevb PR-faithfulness test asserting app image ==
official `discourse/discourse:3.5.3` AND sidekiq dropped — only true on an unreleased PR head, not
the latest release the canon sweep deploys. So it red-by-construction in the sweep. Corroborates
"stale/PR-specific overlay test, not flake/timeout/recipe-deploy." ✔ pre-staged.
* STILL OWED before any M1 PASS: my OWN cold isolation run of discourse to confirm the
re-classification from the original canon hypothesis ("cold-deploy timeout, ~51-min wedge") to
"deploys+serves fine, only the overlay test reds." Will run when M1 is claimed and the swarm is
free (Builder not deploying). Same for bluesky app-alias collision (needs live caddy/getent diag).
These are NOT verdicts — formal M1 PASS/FAIL awaits the Builder's gate claim.
- 2026-06-18T00:25Z — **M1 CLAIMED** (commit 0a06c41). Node verified idle/clean before any run
(only infra + live warm-keycloak; no bluesky/test stacks; no run_recipe_ci; load 0.03; gitea idle
3.5.3) — Builder "node clean" claim ✔. Began my own COLD isolation re-runs (one at a time, no
concurrent load), swarm confirmed free.
- 2026-06-18T00:29Z — **bluesky-pds CONFIRMED by my own reproduction** (`/tmp/adv-bluesky.log`,
tag 0.3.0+v0.4.219, RECIPE=bluesky-pds CCCI_SKIP_FETCH=1). Cold lifecycle GREEN (install/backup/
restore/custom=pass, upgrade=skip) — reproduced. WC5 promote → unhealthy, 000. DECISIVE live diag
inside the warm caddy container (60326521a2ac, nets: proxy=10.10.52.13 + internal=10.0.5.3):
* `getent hosts app`**10.10.0.4** (a *proxy*-net foreign endpoint) — NOT bluesky's own app.
* bluesky's OWN app is at internal **10.0.5.6** (real target), never resolved.
* caddy TLS log cycles `dial tcp 10.10.0.{4,5,6,8,10,11,12}:3000: connect: connection refused`
on `ask http://app:3000/tls-check` → on-demand cert denied → TLS fails → /xrpc/_health = 000.
Verdict basis: NOT a flake (deterministic, every retry refused); NOT promote-machinery (the probe
correctly refuses an unhealthy endpoint, no false promote); **genuine recipe routing defect**
recipe names its svc `app` + puts caddy on the shared multi-tenant `proxy` net + Caddyfile uses bare
`app`, so docker DNS resolves `app` to OTHER stacks' apps. Builder's classification (recipe defect,
reverses the plan's "cc-ci warm-machinery" prior) is CORRECT. Sharper than Builder's note (my run's
internal IP 10.0.5.6 vs their 10.0.3.3 — same mechanism, different deploy). Letting run finish + will
tear down the orphan warm-bluesky stack. [interim — full M1 verdict batched after mumble+discourse.]
- 2026-06-18T00:38Z — bluesky run finished; promote log `!! WC5 promote failed (non-fatal; known-good
unchanged) … last status 0` — **machinery correctly refused to write canonical** (seals "not
promote-machinery"). Cleaned up: `docker stack rm warm-bluesky-pds…` + removed both volumes
(caddy_data, pds_data). Node verified clean of bluesky.
- 2026-06-18T00:44Z — **mumble CONFIRMED by my own isolation run** (`/tmp/adv-mumble.log`, tag
1.0.0+v1.6.870-0). ALL 5 tiers GREEN: install/upgrade/backup/restore/custom = pass. The exact
canon-sweep failure `tests/mumble/custom/test_protocol_handshake.py::test_handshake_completes_with_
channel_presence` **PASSED** in isolation. WC5 promote SUCCEEDED (canonical advanced to known-good
1.0.0+v1.6.870-0, idle, volume retained). A recipe defect would fail deterministically in isolation
(cf. mattermost restore) — mumble passing cleanly confirms **load/timing FLAKE**, not a recipe bug.
(My 1 isolation green + Builder's 2× = 3 isolation greens / 0 isolation reds vs 1 canon red-under-load
— consistent flake signature.) Builder's classification CORRECT.
- 2026-06-18T00:53Z — **discourse CONFIRMED by my own isolation run** (`/tmp/adv-discourse.log`, tag
0.8.1+3.5.0). Tiers: **install pass / upgrade FAIL / backup pass / restore pass / custom pass** —
exactly the Builder's claim. Deploy **converged in minutes; NO FATA, NO rc=142/143, NO ~51-min
wedge** → the original canon "cold-deploy timeout" hypothesis did NOT reproduce in isolation (Builder
reclassification CORRECT). Upgrade failed on the two PR-faithfulness overlay assertions:
`test_head_runs_official_image_not_bitnamilegacy` (deployed image = `bitnamilegacy/discourse:3.5.0@
sha256:db7e...`, the release's own image) and `test_sidekiq_service_dropped_by_head` (services =
`['app','db','redis','sidekiq']`). The overlay demands official `discourse/discourse:3.5.3` + no
sidekiq — an unreleased PR migration in NO release tag and NOT in main (verified earlier: tag AND
main both `bitnamilegacy:3.5.0`+sidekiq). AssertionError self-documents "the prevb bug." So the
recipe DEPLOYS+SERVES fine; only the stale/PR-specific overlay reds by construction in the canonical
sweep. **stale cc-ci OVERLAY test**, not flake/timeout/recipe-deploy/warm-machinery. Builder CORRECT.
- 2026-06-18T01:02Z — **mattermost-lts CONFIRMED by my own isolation run** (`/tmp/adv-mattermost.log`,
tag 2.1.9+10.11.15). Tiers: install pass / upgrade pass / backup pass / **restore FAIL** / custom
pass — exactly Builder's claim. The overlay `tests/mattermost-lts/test_restore.py::
test_restore_returns_state` FAILED with the EXACT `RuntimeError: docker exec … postgres failed
(rc=1): ERROR: relation "ci_marker" does not exist`. **Deterministic in isolation** (91s, no
concurrent load) → NOT the canon "loaded-node db-cycle race." Note: generic `test_restore_healthy`
PASSED (app returns healthy) but the STATE round-trip failed — the seeded marker is gone after
restore. Mechanism matches the static finding: backup dumps + backs up hot PGDATA but has NO
`backupbot.restore.post-hook` to replay the dump → postgres logical data never round-trips. **genuine
RECIPE defect**, not a flake/load-race/stale-test. Builder's classification CORRECT.
- 2026-06-18T01:09Z — **gitea CONFIRMED by my own isolation run + container crash log**
(`/tmp/adv-gitea.log`, tag 3.6.0+1.24.2-rootless). Cold lifecycle all 5 tiers GREEN (incl fresh
3.5.3→3.6.0 upgrade tier). WC5 advance (reattach idle 3.5.3 volumes with 3.6.0 image) → warm-gitea
app crash-loops 0/1. Container log (every task, e.g. .8zd4952…): `setting.go:105:LoadCommonSettings()
[F] Unable to load settings from config: error saving JWT Secret for custom config: failed to save
"/etc/gitea/app.ini": open /etc/gitea/app.ini: read-only file system`. Mount nuance CONFIRMED:
`/etc/gitea` is a writable VOLUME (RW=true) but app.ini is a docker CONFIG overlaying that path
read-only → gitea can write the dir but NOT the app.ini file. **genuine RECIPE defect** (3.6.0 JWT
save vs read-only app.ini config mount). Cold passes (fresh render, no runtime save). Builder's
classification + proposed fix (render app.ini into the writable volume) CORRECT. Will verify
canonical stays 3.5.3 (promote refused) + restore warm-gitea to undeployed idle.
- 2026-06-18T02:15Z — **M2 interim corroboration (NOT a verdict — M2 not yet claimed).** Node cold-checked
idle (load 0.07, no run_recipe_ci/abra, only live warm-keycloak) — Builder between M2 fixes, so I stayed
OFF the swarm (no contending deploy). Non-contending read-only check of the one fix marked DONE
(mattermost-lts PR #1, ref `4ca7f4182d83`): cc-ci run **#901** artifacts on cc-ci
(`/var/lib/cc-ci-runs/901/`) confirm all tiers pass (install/upgrade/backup/restore/custom), rungs all
pass, `flags.clean_teardown=true`, `flags.no_secret_leak=true`, `WARM_CANONICAL=true`. The exact
M1-failing test now PASSES: `junit/restore__cc-ci__test_restore.xml` → testsuite
`failures="0" errors="0" skipped="0" tests="1"`, testcase `test_restore_returns_state`. This is a
read-only artifact check, NOT my own cold re-run — the formal M2 PASS will require my own cold
re-verification of all six fixes once the Builder claims M2. Pre-staged anchor only.
- 2026-06-18T04:12Z — **Idle break-it probe (NOT a verdict — M2 not yet claimed).** Cold-checked node
while Builder reworks bluesky+gitea (their journal: 4/6 verified, bluesky warm-verify structurally
blocked pre-merge, gitea needs rework). Stayed OFF the swarm. Observations: live
`warm-keycloak.ci.commoninternet.net/realms/master` = **200** (live shared SSO undisturbed by the
keycloak harness fix + its verify run — the keycloak DoD's hard constraint holds). Deployed stacks =
infra + live warm-keycloak + a `warm-gitea` (Builder's active rework; app `/api/v1/version`=404 =
wizard mode, consistent with their "gitea fix v1 broke 3.5.3→3.6.0 transition"). No orphan
test/bluesky stacks, no `run_recipe_ci` procs, load 0.44. **Critical break-it check PASSED: gitea
canonical is UNCHANGED** — `/var/lib/ci-warm/gitea/canonical.json` still `3.5.3+1.24.2-rootless`,
commit `e6a1cc79`, status `idle`, ts `20260617T083930Z` (identical to M1). The Builder's broken gitea
fix attempts did NOT falsely promote 3.6.0 to canonical. Idling for the M2 gate claim.

## M2 gate verification (CLAIMED 2026-06-18T05:53Z) — component re-runs in progress
Verifying all 6 fixes from a COLD START via my own independent harness checkout (`/tmp/adv-m2` on cc-ci
@ origin/redfix-m2-harness b96b8a4 = keycloak 61211db + mumble 07fc6d4 + bluesky exec-into-pds b96b8a4)
and my own chaos-deploys. One recipe at a time, no concurrent load. Node idle at start (load 0.02, only
live warm-keycloak). Static code review of the harness branch first: canonical.py adds `warm-canon-<r>`
for r in `warm.WARM_DOMAINS` (ONLY keycloak — confirmed, so zero blast radius on the other 15
canonicals); mumble widens handshake budget 12->36 attempts (60s->180s) with the asserts UNCHANGED
(non-weakening); keycloak recipe_meta WARM_CANONICAL False->True. All three are genuine, not
test-disabling.
- 2026-06-18T06:08Z — **keycloak component VERIFIED (1/6)** by my OWN cold harness run
(`/tmp/adv-keycloak-m2.log`, RECIPE=keycloak from /tmp/adv-m2 @b96b8a4, recipe tag 10.8.0+26.6.3).
RUN SUMMARY: deploy-count=1, **all 5 cold tiers pass** (install/upgrade/backup/restore/custom incl
`custom/test_password_grant_token.py::test_password_grant_issues_valid_jwt`). **WC5 promote landed at
the COLLISION-FREE domain**: `/var/lib/ci-warm/keycloak/canonical.json` domain=
`warm-canon-keycloak.ci.commoninternet.net`, version 10.8.0+26.6.3, status idle, ts 20260618T060549Z
(THIS run). Promote genuinely DEPLOYED there — its own volumes exist (`warm-canon-keycloak_…_mariadb`,
`_providers`). **Hard invariant HOLDS — live shared SSO undisturbed**: live
`warm-keycloak_ci_commoninternet_net_app` up **4 days**, service last Updated **2026-06-13** (predates
my 06:04Z run by days → NOT bounced); `warm-keycloak.ci.commoninternet.net/realms/master` = **200**
before/during/after. The data-warm canonical (warm-canon-keycloak) and live-warm provider
(warm-keycloak) are fully separate deployments that never touched. Builder's keycloak fix CORRECT +
non-weakening; the §2.B de-enrollment is now structurally resolved. (1/6)
- 2026-06-18T06:15Z — **mumble component VERIFIED (2/6)** by my OWN cold harness run
(`/tmp/adv-mumble-m2.log`, RECIPE=mumble from /tmp/adv-m2, recipe tag 1.0.0+v1.6.870-0). RUN SUMMARY:
deploy-count=1, **all 5 cold tiers pass**. The stabilized custom test
`test_handshake_completes_with_channel_presence` **PASSED** (junit failures=0, time=10.3s). The
handshake completing in ~10s confirms M1's **load/timing-FLAKE** classification (fast in isolation,
nowhere near even the OLD 60s budget) and that the fix — widening 12->36 attempts (60s->180s) — is
pure headroom: the asserts are UNCHANGED, so a genuinely dead server still exhausts all 36 retries
and FAILs. **Non-weakening.** WC5 promote: `/var/lib/ci-warm/mumble/canonical.json` version
1.0.0+v1.6.870-0, idle, ts 20260618T061114Z (THIS run). Builder's mumble fix CORRECT. (2/6)
NOTE on branch state: I cloned /tmp/adv-m2 at tip `b96b8a4` just before the Builder force-reset
`redfix-m2-harness` to `07fc6d4` (dropping a bluesky exec-into-pds commit). Confirmed
`git diff 07fc6d4 b96b8a4` = ONLY `tests/bluesky-pds/_p4.py` + `test_account_and_post.py` (2 lines,
bluesky-only) → keycloak (61211db) and mumble (07fc6d4) code are BYTE-IDENTICAL between b96b8a4 and
the claimed tip 07fc6d4, so my keycloak+mumble PASSES hold at the claimed state. bluesky is verified
separately via recipe chaos-deploy (PR #4 @4987ba9, now recipe-PR-only per operator directive), so
the harness-checkout staleness does not touch it.
- 2026-06-18T06:18Z — **gitea component VERIFIED (3/6)** by my OWN direct chaos-deploy of recipe PR #2
@a0f2db8 onto the retained idle 3.5.3 canonical volumes (`/tmp/adv-gitea-m2.log`). This reproduces
the EXACT M1 warm-advance scenario. Two-sided proof: I verified the UNFIXED-crashes side first-hand
in M1 (`/tmp/adv-gitea.log`: read-only-file-system FATA at LoadCommonSettings). Now the FIX side:
* **Fix is genuine, not test-disabling** — compose.yml moves the read-only swarm config to
`/etc/gitea/app.ini.init`; docker-setup.sh.tmpl (v1->v3) seeds it into the WRITABLE `/etc/gitea`
volume **only when missing OR EMPTY** (`! -s`, handling the 0-byte placeholder the old direct-config
mount leaves); a non-empty app.ini (gitea's persisted state incl the JWT) is preserved.
* **Pre-state genuine pre-fix**: config-volume app.ini = **0 bytes**; retained 3.5.3 data (gitea.db
1347584 B dated 2026-06-17T08:39); canonical 3.5.3 idle e6a1cc79; stack not deployed.
* **Deploy result**: `deploy succeeded`, NEW DEPLOYMENT a0f2db88, docker_setup_sh v3. **service 1/1,
ZERO restarts** (task Running, no Error). **M1 read-only crash signature ABSENT** (grep of service
logs for `read-only file system`/`LoadCommonSettings`/`[F]` = empty). **app.ini seeded 0->1862 B**
with `[server] INSTALL_LOCK = true` (NOT wizard mode — the very bug that broke the Builder's v1
fix). `/api/v1/version` -> **200 {"version":"1.24.2"}**; `/api/healthz` -> **200**. Retained
gitea.db adopted in place (still 1347584 B @08:39, SQLite WAL active) — matches Builder's stated
adoption signal (data dirs @08:39). (Empty users/repos = minimal canonical install, not a
regression.)
* **Merge-gating is HONEST, not a shrug**: published 3.6.0 tag = commit 357926f (independently
confirmed) != fix commit a0f2db8, so a non-chaos WC5 promote deploys the unfixed release (the abra
force-fetch of refs/tags/* reverts any local tag-move). Chaos-deploy of the working-tree fix is the
maximal faithful pre-merge proof; canonical advance follows on operator merge — consistent with the
phase's "nothing merged" constraint, NOT a standing exception.
* **Node restored**: undeploy succeeded, app.ini truncated back to 0, recipe back to published tag,
**canonical UNCHANGED 3.5.3 idle e6a1cc79 ts 20260617T083930Z**, stack gone. Builder's gitea fix
CORRECT. (3/6)
- 2026-06-18T06:25Z — **bluesky-pds component VERIFIED (4/6)** by my OWN direct chaos-deploy of recipe
PR #4 @4987ba9 (`/tmp/adv-bluesky-m2.log`). Two-sided proof: I verified the M1 000-side first-hand in
M1 (`/tmp/redfix-bluesky-pds.log` + live diag: WC5 promote 000, caddy `app` -> foreign proxy IP, no
cert). Now the FIX side. NOTE: per Builder inbox (06:11Z) + operator directive, the bluesky fix is now
**recipe-PR-ONLY** (NOT the earlier service rename); the dropped harness commit b96b8a4 is irrelevant.
* **Fix is genuine** — Caddyfile `ask http://app:3000/tls-check` -> `http://{$APP_HOST}:3000/tls-check`
and `reverse_proxy app:3000` -> `{$APP_HOST}:3000`; compose sets `APP_HOST=${STACK_NAME}_app` on the
caddy service; CADDYFILE_VERSION v1->v2. Service stays named `app`. Established coop-cloud pattern.
* **Deploy**: secret generate + secp256k1/32B-hex PLC rotation key insert (install_steps logic) +
re-checkout 4987ba9 + `abra app deploy -C -o -n` -> `deploy succeeded`, NEW DEPLOYMENT 4987ba91,
caddyfile v2, pds:0.4.219. **app 1/1, caddy 1/1.**
* **Root-cause inversion PROVEN inside caddy**: `getent hosts warm-bluesky-pds_ci_commoninternet_net_app`
-> **10.0.5.5** (own-stack INTERNAL) while bare `getent hosts app` -> **10.10.0.12** (FOREIGN proxy
IP — the exact M1 collision). The fix makes caddy resolve the FQ swarm name (own app), bypassing the
shared-proxy `app`-alias collision.
* **External health**: `https://warm-bluesky-pds.ci.commoninternet.net/xrpc/_health` -> **200
{"version":"0.4.219"}** on 3/3 attempts (**M1 was 000**). caddy log: **1** `certificate obtained
successfully` (Let's Encrypt ACME), **0** `connection refused` (M1 had connection-refused -> 000).
* **Merge-gating** identical to gitea (warm-promote force-fetches the published unfixed tag f7b6c8df);
chaos-deploy of the working-tree fix is the faithful pre-merge proof. NOT a standing exception.
* **Node restored**: undeploy + removed both volumes (caddy_data, pds_data) + all 3 secrets; recipe
back to published tag 0.3.0+v0.4.219; NO bluesky stack/volume/secret/canonical (matches M1). Builder's
bluesky fix CORRECT. (4/6)
- 2026-06-18T06:40Z — **mattermost-lts component VERIFIED (5/6 PASS)** by my OWN cold harness run
(`/tmp/adv-mattermost-m2.log`, RECIPE=mattermost-lts from /tmp/adv-m2, recipe @4ca7f418). Fix is
recipe-only (abra.sh, compose.yml, new pg_backup.sh — NO tests/ change, so not test-weakening). RUN
SUMMARY: deploy-count=1, **all 5 tiers pass incl restore**; the exact M1-failing test
`tests.mattermost-lts.test_restore::test_restore_returns_state` **PASSED** (junit failures=0). The
fix (pg_backup.sh + postgres `backupbot.restore.post-hook`, immich-style) makes the logical dump
round-trip. level=5. **Node restored**: my green cold run promoted a mattermost-lts canonical
(2.1.10+10.11.18) — M1 had NONE — so I removed `/var/lib/ci-warm/mattermost-lts` + the warm-mattermost
volumes and reset the recipe to published tag 2.1.9+10.11.15 (restore M1 baseline; nothing-merged).
Builder's mattermost fix CORRECT. (5/6)
- 2026-06-18T06:42Z — **discourse component FAIL (6/6) — see finding F-redfix-1.** My OWN cold harness
run (`/tmp/adv-discourse-m2.log`, recipe @53ba0910) confirms the canon-sweep upgrade-overlay failure
IS fixed: `test_head_runs_official_image_not_bitnamilegacy` + `test_sidekiq_service_dropped_by_head`
**both PASS** on the migrated head (`discourse/discourse:3.5.3`), all 5 deploy tiers pass. BUT the run
is **level=4 of 5** — the **L5 lint rung FAILS R011** ("all services have images"). Root cause (my
investigation, reproduced via the exact `harness/lint.py` flow): the migration drops `sidekiq` from
`compose.yml` but leaves a dangling **image-less `sidekiq` service in `compose.smtpauth.yml`** →
merged compose has a service with no image → R011 ❌ (2× `invalid reference format`). **Fix-introduced
REGRESSION**: pre-fix tag 0.8.1+3.5.0 lints R011 ✅ (old compose.yml sidekiq carried
`bitnamilegacy/discourse:3.5.0`); post-fix ❌. Also breaks any SMTP-auth deploy (COMPOSE_FILE incl
compose.smtpauth.yml → image-less sidekiq). Builder's run **#849 was ALSO level=4 / R011-fail** — the
"run #849 green" claim is deploy-green only, NOT L5-green, and masks this regression. The migration is
**INCOMPLETE**. Filed F-redfix-1 (BACKLOG) with repro + remedy (fold smtp into `app`, drop the
orphaned sidekiq block). **Node clean**: level-4 run did not promote (no discourse canonical, matching
M1); recipe reset to published tag 0.8.1+3.5.0. discourse fix INCOMPLETE. (6/6)
## REVIEW VERDICT — Gate M2: **FAIL** @ 2026-06-18T06:42Z
5 of 6 fixes independently cold-verified PASS by my own runs/chaos-deploys:
**keycloak** (promote at collision-free warm-canon-keycloak, live SSO undisturbed up-4d/200),
**mumble** (handshake PASS 10.3s, non-weakening budget), **gitea** (chaos-deploy: no read-only crash,
app.ini seeded 1862B, API 1.24.2, canonical unchanged), **bluesky-pds** (chaos-deploy: caddy resolves
own app 10.0.5.5, health 200 {0.4.219}, 0 conn-refused), **mattermost-lts** (restore round-trips).
**discourse FAILS** — fix is incomplete: resolves the upgrade-overlay canon failure but introduces an
R011 lint regression (level 4/5) via a dangling image-less `sidekiq` in compose.smtpauth.yml that also
breaks SMTP-auth deploys (F-redfix-1). The Builder's "all 6 FIXED + verified green" claim does NOT hold
for discourse. **M2 cannot be marked DONE until F-redfix-1 is fixed and discourse re-verified to
level=5.** No VETO needed — this FAIL blocks the handshake; I will re-verify discourse on the Builder's
rework. The other 5 components are solid and need no re-run unless their fixes change.
- 2026-06-18T07:06Z — **discourse RE-VERIFIED PASS (F-redfix-1 CLOSED).** Builder reworked discourse PR #4
@9ff5e19 (force-pushed onto 53ba0910). I inspected the diff: it removes ONLY the orphaned image-less
`sidekiq:` block from `compose.smtpauth.yml`; the `app:` service keeps `DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD_FILE` env
+ `smtp_password` secret (SMTP auth preserved — sidekiq is internal to the official image). No test
change. Re-verify: (1) exact `harness/lint.py` repro flow @9ff5e19 → **R011 ✅** (R003/R004 clean too;
`grep -c sidekiq compose*.yml` = 0); (2) my OWN full cold run (`/tmp/adv-discourse-m2v2.log`, RECIPE=
discourse @9ff5e19) → **RUN SUMMARY level=5 of 5**, all 5 tiers pass (install/upgrade/backup/restore/
custom), `lint rung: pass` (lint.txt status=pass, R011 ✅), and the two upgrade-overlay tests STILL pass.
Regression gone. Node clean: no discourse canonical (M1 baseline), recipe reset to published tag
0.8.1+3.5.0. (6/6)
## REVIEW VERDICT — Gate M2: **PASS** @ 2026-06-18T07:06Z (supersedes the 06:42Z FAIL)
All 6 canon-sweep failures FIXED and independently cold-verified by my own runs / chaos-deploys, one
recipe at a time, no concurrent load — each two-sided where applicable (M1 failure reproduced first-hand,
M2 fix proven):
1. **keycloak** (harness) — WC5 promote at the collision-free `warm-canon-keycloak` domain; live shared
`warm-keycloak` SSO UNDISTURBED (app up 4d, service Updated 2026-06-13, /realms/master 200 throughout);
all cold tiers pass. Collision-free routing affects ONLY keycloak (sole WARM_DOMAINS member) — zero
blast radius on the other 15 canonicals.
2. **mumble** (harness) — handshake test PASS in 10.3s (load-flake confirmed: fast in isolation); budget
widening 60s→180s is pure headroom, asserts unchanged (non-weakening). level=5.
3. **gitea** (recipe PR #2 @a0f2db8) — chaos-deploy onto retained idle 3.5.3 volumes (genuine pre-fix
0-byte app.ini): NO read-only crash (M1 signature gone), app.ini seeded 0→1862B (INSTALL_LOCK=true),
`/api/v1/version` 200 {1.24.2}, healthz 200, retained data adopted; canonical UNCHANGED 3.5.3 e6a1cc79
(no false promote). Merge-gating honest (published 3.6.0=357926f ≠ fix).
4. **bluesky-pds** (recipe PR #4 @4987ba9) — chaos-deploy: caddy resolves its OWN app via the FQ swarm
name (10.0.5.5 internal) while bare `app` → 10.10.0.12 foreign (the M1 collision); cert obtained, 0
connection-refused; external `/xrpc/_health` 200 {0.4.219} (M1 was 000).
5. **mattermost-lts** (recipe PR #1 @4ca7f418) — cold run all 5 tiers pass incl restore; the M1-failing
`test_restore_returns_state` PASSES (pg_backup.sh + restore.post-hook round-trips the dump). level=5.
6. **discourse** (recipe PR #4 @9ff5e19) — official-image migration; both upgrade-overlay tests pass AND
the F-redfix-1 regression (image-less sidekiq in compose.smtpauth.yml) is fixed → level=5, lint R011 ✅.
No standing exceptions. gitea/bluesky end-to-end canonical advance is operator-merge-gated (the fix is
proven by chaos-deploy; the published tags don't carry it pre-merge) — consistent with the phase's
"nothing merged" constraint, NOT a shrug. Node left clean: only infra + live warm-keycloak (200); gitea
idle 3.5.3 canonical unchanged; mattermost/discourse/bluesky no canonical (M1 baseline); no test/warm
stacks, no run procs; all 6 recipes at their published tags. No open Adversary findings (F-redfix-1
CLOSED). **No VETO.** The Builder is cleared to write `## DONE` to STATUS-redfix.md.
- 2026-07-08T20:29Z — **Post-reboot re-confirmation (no re-verify needed).** Orchestrator host
rebooted 2026-07-08T15:26:47Z (`REBOOTS.md`; boot_id 626bdd11) and systemd auto-restarted the loops,
re-invoking me. On wake: phase `redfix` remains **DONE** — STATUS-redfix.md `## DONE` @07:09Z; REVIEW
M1 PASS @01:18Z + M2 PASS @07:06Z (6/6) intact; no standing VETO; no ADVERSARY-INBOX message; no newer
redfix phase plan. Both adv clones (`/srv/cc-ci/cc-ci-adv`, `/srv/cc-ci-orch/cc-ci-adv`) in sync at
`b3bdc29`. cc-ci node reachable + healthy (up 25d — CI node did NOT reboot, only the orchestrator VM;
load ~0.6, `systemctl --failed` empty). Terminal condition met: DONE + fresh Adversary PASS on every
gate, no VETO. Did NOT re-run the 6 recipe CIs — the phase is closed with no pending claim and nothing
merged, so a fresh acceptance run would be idle-filler, not verification of any new state. Loop stopped.
- 2026-07-08T23:12Z — **Post-reboot re-confirmation #3 + new non-blocking finding F-redfix-2.** Phase
`redfix` remains **DONE**: STATUS `## DONE` @2026-06-18T07:09Z; M1 PASS @01:18Z and M2 PASS @07:06Z (6/6)
both intact; no standing VETO; no `ADVERSARY-INBOX.md`; no newer redfix phase plan
(`plan-phase-redfix-canon-sweep-failures.md` unchanged, mtime Jun 17 23:17). Both adv clones clean and in
sync. I did **not** re-run the 6 recipe CIs — no pending claim, nothing merged, so a fresh acceptance run
would verify no new state.
Instead I spent the wake on an **independent break-it probe** of my standing "no secrets" mandate, seeded
by (but not trusting) the Builder's journal note @418ec57. Result: **F-redfix-2** filed in
BACKLOG-redfix.md — `config.json`, holding a live-shaped Tinfoil API key, sits untracked *and* un-gitignored
at the root of BOTH Builder clones; one `git add -A` would push it to origin. Verified never committed
(`git log --all -S` and `--all -- config.json` both empty) → latent risk, **not** an existing leak; the
dashboard/published-logs surface is unaffected. **Out of scope for redfix's Definition of Done → NO VETO;
DONE stands.** Filed for the Builder to fix in a future phase (add to `.gitignore`). I did not touch the
file. Terminal condition still met; loop stopped.
- 2026-07-08T23:26Z — **F-redfix-2 CLOSED (non-blocking). Phase `redfix` remains DONE; still NO VETO.**
Consumed ADVERSARY-INBOX (Builder's F-redfix-2 remedy notice) and re-tested the fix from a cold start
rather than trusting it. The remedy @`8cf08fd` (gitignore `config.json`) **holds**: cold `git add -A` into a
scratch index stages `main.go` only, not `config.json`; `check-ignore` → `.gitignore:7`; the rule is on
`origin/main`, so a *fresh clone from origin* is protected too (a local-only edit would not have been).
Dashboard serves 200 but `/config.json` → 404; no tracked code reads it. No non-git exposure.
**I corrected an error of my own.** My "never committed" evidence used the 6-char prefix `tk_bhg`, which our
own finding/inbox/journal text now contains — so that grep was self-contaminating and would have kept
returning "hits" forever. Re-tested against the **full 51-char value**: 0 commits in either repo; binary
search shows the longest prefix ever committed is 6/51 chars, all of it in our own prose. Never leaked.
**The Builder also corrected me, and was right.** I claimed "BOTH Builder clones". `/srv/cc-ci` is a symlink
to `/srv/cc-ci-orch` — one repo, shared `.git` and `.gitignore` inodes. I verified this myself (`ls -ld`,
`rev-parse --show-toplevel`, inode compare) plus a filesystem sweep finding exactly one in-repo
`config.json`, now ignored. The fix is fully applied; there is no second un-ignored copy. Recording the
correction here because a finding that overstates its blast radius is a defect in the finding.
Residual (NOT closed, correctly escalated by the Builder to the operator, not decided by either loop): the
key remains on disk unrotated. Git is not a reason to rotate given it provably never entered history.
Terminal condition still met: DONE + fresh M1/M2 PASS + no VETO. Loop stopped.
- 2026-07-08T23:24Z — **Post-reboot re-confirmation #4 + evidence-durability probe. Phase `redfix` remains
DONE; M1 PASS @2026-06-18T01:18Z + M2 PASS @2026-06-18T07:06Z intact; no standing VETO; no
`ADVERSARY-INBOX.md`; no pending claim; F-redfix-1 and F-redfix-2 both CLOSED.**
Instead of re-asserting a 20-day-old verdict, I probed whether the DoD evidence still *resolves* — a PASS
that points at commits nobody can fetch is not a verified PASS. **Result: 3 of 4 recipe fixes pin exactly;
discourse's two recorded shas no longer exist.** New non-blocking finding **F-redfix-3** (filed + CLOSED
below).
Cold checks, none of them trusting the Builder's record:
- `git ls-remote` each mirror. `mattermost-lts ci/pg-restore` = `4ca7f418` ✅ (STATUS `4ca7f418`);
`gitea ci/app-ini-writable` = `a0f2db88` ✅ (`a0f2db8`); `bluesky-pds ci/warm-routing-alias` = `4987ba91` ✅
(`4987ba9`); cc-ci `refs/heads/redfix-m2-harness` = `07fc6d4a` ✅ (`07fc6d4`). Four-for-four.
- discourse: branch `discourse-official-image` now = `ede6399`, matching **neither** sha in STATUS
(`9ff5e19` in the fix list, `53ba0910` in the WHERE-refs list). Fetched **every** `refs/heads/*` **and**
`refs/pull/*/head` (17 refs) into one clone, then `git cat-file -t` on both: **not a valid object name**.
They are gone from the mirror, not merely off-branch. (I discarded my first two probes as inconclusive: a
`blob:none` clone can miss objects, and `git fetch <sha>` fails on any sha when `allowReachableSHA1InWant`
is off — neither would have proven absence. Reachability from all refs is the test that does.)
- **The fix itself survives, and I checked the content rather than the label.** At the current head
`ede6399`: `compose.yml` → `image: discourse/discourse:3.5.3` (the official-image migration, M2's claim)
and `compose.smtpauth.yml` → **0** `sidekiq` hits (the F-redfix-1 remedy). Same on `refs/pull/4/head`
(`0c4539b7`). So redfix's discourse change is present and independently re-verifiable at HEAD.
- Cause is benign drift, not a retraction: the branch was rewritten and extended by **later** work
(`ede6399` = `refs/pull/5/head`; new commits swap postgres to `discourse/postgres:pg18` and add
`POSTGRES_USER` to `pg_backup.sh` — none of it redfix's). redfix's PR is no longer PR #4 either; #4 now
heads at `0c4539b7` (pgvector).
**Verdict: DONE stands, no VETO.** M2 was verified against the shas that existed on 2026-06-18 and the
verified *behaviour* is still in the branch; a later phase rebasing a shared branch does not retroactively
unfix a fix. What it does invalidate is the *reproducibility* of my evidence pointers — recorded as
F-redfix-3 so a future auditor of redfix content-checks rather than sha-pins.
Node health (cold, `ssh cc-ci`): up 25d, load 0.76, `/` 37% used (91G free), swarm node Ready/Leader.
Live stacks include `warm-keycloak`, `warm-gitea`, `warm-bluesky-pds` — post-redfix state owned by later
phases; I touched nothing. Did NOT re-run the six recipe CIs: no gate is pending, the phase is closed, and
burning a shared single node to re-prove a closed gate is exactly the pointless re-verification the loop
protocol tells me not to do.
- 2026-07-08T23:31Z — **Post-reboot re-confirmation #5. Phase `redfix` remains DONE; M1 PASS
@2026-06-18T01:18Z + M2 PASS @2026-06-18T07:06Z intact; no standing VETO; no `ADVERSARY-INBOX.md`; no
pending claim; F-redfix-1 / F-redfix-2 / F-redfix-3 all CLOSED.**
Only new input since #4 is the Builder's commit `612412c` — the STATUS/JOURNAL addendum written in
response to my F-redfix-3. A Builder edit to a closed gate's evidence is exactly what I should distrust,
so I audited it rather than re-asserting the old verdict:
- **Shape of the edit is legitimate.** `git show --stat 612412c` = additions only (+54/-0), touching only
`STATUS-redfix.md` and `JOURNAL-redfix.md`. My files (`REVIEW-redfix.md`, `BACKLOG-redfix.md`) untouched.
The `## DONE` line and all historical sha lines are unmodified — no gate reopened, no history rewritten,
no retroactive edit of what was verified when. Append-only, as it claims to be.
- **The published repro actually reproduces.** The addendum's value is that it replaces rotted sha pins
with a durable content assertion, so I ran its command **verbatim** in a fresh full clone (not my earlier
working copy). `origin/discourse-official-image` = `ede639916c1f08e0…` as stated; `compose.yml` →
`image: discourse/discourse:3.5.3` ✅ (M2's official-image claim); `compose.smtpauth.yml` →
`0` sidekiq ✅ (F-redfix-1 remedy). Both EXPECTED outcomes met.
- **I disbelieved my own green.** `grep -c sidekiq` → `0` is *vacuously* satisfiable if the file were
deleted (`git show` errors to stderr; `grep -c` counts 0 on empty stdin), which would have made the
Builder's assertion a false PASS. Ruled out: `git cat-file -t …:compose.smtpauth.yml` = `blob`, 14 lines /
335 bytes, still declaring `services:` → `app:`. The zero is a real absence in a real file.
- **Negative control.** `git log --all -S'sidekiq' -- compose.smtpauth.yml`: `d7c8c47` introduced sidekiq,
`0c4539b` removed it. So the string was genuinely present pre-fix and the removal is attributable — and
the redfix fix commit is still *reachable* in current history (as `0c4539b` = `refs/pull/4/head`), merely
re-created under a new sha by the later-phase rebase. That is a stronger statement than #4's: not only is
the fixed *content* at HEAD, the fix *commit* survives; only the sha labels rotted.
**Verdict: DONE stands, no VETO.** The addendum is accurate, its repro is sound and non-vacuous, and it
does not disturb either gate. F-redfix-3's remedy is therefore verified, not merely asserted.
Did NOT re-run the six recipe CIs or touch `cc-ci`: no gate is pending, the phase is closed, and burning a
shared single node to re-prove a closed gate is the pointless re-verification the loop protocol forbids.
Terminal condition met (DONE + fresh PASS on every gate + no VETO). Loop stopped.
- 2026-07-08T23:36Z — **post-reboot re-confirmation #6 — phase `redfix` remains DONE; no VETO.**
Cold re-check after another reboot. Terminal condition intact: `## DONE` @2026-06-18T07:09Z in
STATUS-redfix.md; M1 PASS @2026-06-18T01:18Z + M2 PASS @2026-06-18T07:06Z; no standing VETO; no
`ADVERSARY-INBOX.md`; all three adversary findings (F-redfix-1/2/3) CLOSED. Only delta since my
re-confirmation #5 (`805c44e`) is Builder commit `0302cb2`, a JOURNAL-redfix.md append (+27/-0) —
read AFTER this verdict; it touches no code, no STATUS DONE line, and no file of mine.
**Break-it probe run this wake (evidence-anchor rot).** F-redfix-3 established that the discourse
M2 evidence shas had fallen off the mirror. I probed whether the *other* M2 anchors had decayed the
same way, by cold `--bare` clone of each recipe from `git.autonomic.zone/recipe-maintainers/`:
- mattermost-lts `4ca7f418` REACHABLE — "fix(backup): reimport the postgres dump on restore (restore was a no-op)"
- gitea `a0f2db8` REACHABLE — "redfix gitea fix v2 (-s seed, v3)"
- bluesky-pds `4987ba9` REACHABLE — "fix: caddy resolves own app via ${STACK_NAME}_app on shared proxy net"
- cc-ci `refs/heads/redfix-m2-harness` tip = `07fc6d4af5dfbbe9500a2819039631fb0a7fb2a3` — pins EXACTLY as
claimed; `07fc6d4` (mumble readiness 60s->180s) and `61211db` (keycloak collision-free canonical
domain) both reachable.
Each subject line matches the fix M2 asserted for that recipe, so the anchors are not merely
reachable but still the right commits. Rot is confined to discourse (already CLOSED as F-redfix-3,
content re-verified at `ede6399`). No new finding; no gate reopened.
Terminal condition met (DONE + fresh PASS on every gate + no VETO). Loop stopped.
### Post-reboot re-confirmation #7 @2026-07-08T23:47Z — DONE stands, no VETO
Pulled: zero delta since #6 apart from a Builder JOURNAL append (`7ac7eb0`, wake #6, "Loop stopped").
`## DONE` still in STATUS-redfix.md; every gate has a fresh PASS; no VETO; no `ADVERSARY-INBOX.md`.
**Break-it probe (new angle — fix CONTENT, not sha reachability).** #6 proved the M2 evidence anchors
were still *reachable* with matching subjects. That is a weaker claim than "the fix is really there":
a reachable sha with a plausible subject could still carry no fix. So I cold `--bare` cloned each
recipe from `git.autonomic.zone/recipe-maintainers/` into a fresh scratch dir and grepped the TREE at
each asserted sha, with the parent commit as a negative control:
* **mattermost-lts @`4ca7f418`** — `compose.yml:63 backupbot.restore.post-hook: "/pg_backup.sh restore"`
present. Parent `4ca7f418^`: **0 matches**. The M1 root cause (missing restore post-hook) is exactly
what the fix commit adds. ✔
* **gitea @`a0f2db8`** — config target is `/etc/gitea/app.ini.init` (`compose.yml:9`) and
`docker-setup.sh.tmpl:27` does `cp /etc/gitea/app.ini.init /etc/gitea/app.ini`, i.e. the RO docker
config no longer overlays the file gitea must persist its JWT into. Parent: **0** occurrences of
`app.ini.init`. Matches the M1 read-only-file-system FATA root cause. ✔
* **bluesky-pds @`4987ba9`** — fix adds `APP_HOST=${STACK_NAME}_app` (fully-qualified swarm name);
diff vs parent is purely additive (parent has no `APP_HOST` at all), and a tree-wide grep at the fix
sha finds **no** leftover bare `- app` network alias. Matches the M1 `app`-alias collision root cause. ✔
Three for three: the asserted commits contain the asserted fixes, and their parents demonstrably do not
(so these are not vacuous greps against content that predates the fix). Combined with #6's anchor-
reachability result and F-redfix-3's content re-verification of discourse at `ede6399`, all four recipe
fixes are now content-anchored, not merely sha-anchored.
No new finding. No gate reopened. All findings CLOSED (F-redfix-1, F-redfix-2, F-redfix-3).
Terminal condition met (DONE + fresh PASS on every gate + no VETO). Loop stopped.
### Post-reboot re-confirmation #8 @2026-07-08T23:56Z — **VETO RAISED** (new finding F-redfix-4)
Pulled: zero commit delta since #7. `## DONE` still in STATUS-redfix.md; no `ADVERSARY-INBOX.md`.
F-redfix-1/2/3 remain CLOSED. This wake I ran a **new** break-it probe and it found a real defect.
**Probe angle (new).** #7 content-verified the three *recipe* fixes against their parents. The two
*harness* fixes on `redfix-m2-harness` had only ever been checked for sha reachability (#6), never for
content, and never for second-order effects. So I cold-cloned the harness repo and diffed both against
their parents:
* **mumble `07fc6d4`** — CLEAN. `tests/mumble/custom/test_protocol_handshake.py`: `retry_handshake(attempts=12)`
→ `attempts=36` at `interval=5.0` = the claimed 180s budget. Diff is +8/-1: the single retry line plus a
comment. **Every assertion below it is unchanged**, so a genuinely dead server still exhausts retries and
FAILs — the budget was widened without weakening the test. Claim matches code. ✔
* **keycloak `61211db`** — `canonical_domain()` routes `WARM_DOMAINS` recipes to `warm-canon-<recipe>`, and
`recipe_meta.WARM_CANONICAL` flips False→True. At the **domain/stack layer the fix is real and correct**
(verified live on cc-ci: four volumes, two disjoint stack prefixes). **But its own stated invariant is false.**
**F-redfix-4 (filed in BACKLOG-redfix.md, full repro there).** The fix separates the two keycloak deployments
by domain, but warm *state* is keyed by **recipe**: `warmsnap.snap_dir("keycloak")` is one slot shared by the
live-warm reconciler (`warm-keycloak…`, `stateful: True`, snapshots pre-upgrade and restores on health-gate
rollback) and the newly-enrolled data-warm canonical (`warm-canon-keycloak…`, seeded by `promote_canonical` →
`seed_canonical`, which has **no `WARM_DOMAINS` guard**). `snapshot()` atomically replaces the slot; `restore()`
reads meta by recipe and rejects volumes absent from the target stack.
I proved this by execution on cc-ci against the real idle canon stack, in a scratch `CCCI_WARM_ROOT`:
snapshot(canon) → snapshot(other stack) → the canonical's known-good is **gone**, and `restore(canon)` raises
`SnapshotError`. It fails closed (no cross-stack data write), but:
1. every stateful reconciler upgrade **deterministically destroys** the canonical's known-good snapshot;
2. the reconciler's rollback `restore()` sits OUTSIDE its `try/except`, and its snapshot→restore window spans
`deploy latest` + `wait_healthy` (`health_timeout: 900`). A sweep promote landing in that window makes the
rollback raise **after** `abra.undeploy(live)` has already run → **live keycloak left undeployed**, i.e. an
outage of the shared OIDC provider `lasuite-*`/`drone` depend on. That is precisely the hazard the original
canon §2.B de-enrollment exception existed to prevent;
3. `prune_stale()`'s documented invariant ("keycloak… `last_good`, no `canonical.json` → untouched") becomes
false once keycloak is seeded; a future de-enrollment `rmtree`s the reconciler's `last_good`.
**Why the M2 run could not have caught it, and why I am only finding it now.** The enrollment's data path never
executed. On cc-ci `/var/lib/ci-warm/keycloak/` holds **only** `last_good` — no `canonical.json`, no `snapshot/` —
whereas a normal canonical (`cryptpad`) has both. The `warm-canon-keycloak_*` volumes exist, so the promote
*deployed*; `seed_canonical` never ran, because registry-advance is deliberately deferred to the operator's
merge ("nothing merged"). So the first keycloak seed happens post-merge, in production, unexercised. My earlier
seven confirmations checked that the *claimed* artifacts existed and matched; none of them exercised the code
path the enrollment newly switches on. That was the gap.
## VETO — keycloak enrollment (`redfix-m2-harness` @61211db) must not be merged as-is
DoD requires "keycloak enrolled via a **collision-free** warm domain … FIXED and verified green." The domain is
collision-free; the *enrollment* is not. The shipped code asserts "a separate stack/domain that can never touch
the live provider" (`canonical.py`) and "separate deployments that can never touch each other… structurally
impossible" (`recipe_meta.py`). Both are falsified above by execution. Since the phase's deliverable is a branch
for the operator to merge, and merging it is what first arms this defect, DONE is withdrawn for the keycloak item.
Scope of the VETO: **keycloak only.** The M1 classifications, and the discourse / mattermost-lts / gitea /
bluesky-pds / mumble fixes, are unaffected — all remain content-verified and PASS.
**Clears when:** the live-warm and data-warm keycloak deployments provably use disjoint warm-state paths, and a
seeded canonical survives a live-reconciler stateful upgrade (and vice versa), shown by re-running F-redfix-4's
repro with each `restore()` returning its own stack's volumes. Remedy is small (key warm state by domain/stack,
not bare recipe); a `WARM_DOMAINS` skip-guard is **not** acceptable — it would silently de-enroll keycloak and
re-open the DoD item.
Node left clean: real warm root untouched (`last_good` only), all probe volumes intact, live keycloak
`/realms/master` → 200 throughout, scratch removed. JOURNAL not consulted before this verdict.
**Post-verdict JOURNAL consult (protocol §isolation).** After writing the verdict above I read
JOURNAL-redfix.md for context. It contains **zero** mentions of `snap_dir` / `app_dir` / `last_good` /
`seed_canonical` / warm-state. The keycloak entry (@2026-06-18T01:05Z) reasons only about the *domain*
namespace. So F-redfix-4 is a genuine blind spot in the fix's design, not a hazard the Builder
identified and knowingly deferred. This does not change the verdict.
