nexxo 60c501e40d Put the page in the navigation, and stop files. handing out the portal
Two faults, both mine, both reported from the live server.

The page had a route and no navigation entry. A page reachable only by typing
its URL does not exist as far as the operator is concerned, and "Betrieb →
Hostnamen und Zertifikate" was exactly as findable as I had made it: not at all.
It sits under Betrieb rather than System because what is set there decides
whether an address ANSWERS — that is operations, not configuration.

And calling files.… without a path redirected to app.… The host-bound group only
claimed /bootstrap.tar.gz and /{file}; a bare / matches neither, so the request
fell through to the host-agnostic routes and landed on the portal. Two holes,
because / and a multi-segment path miss the placeholder for different reasons,
and both are closed now.

404 rather than a redirect, and that is the point rather than a detail. The
redirect told anybody who tried the name where the portal lives and that both
sit on the same machine — the one thing every other hostname in routes/web.php
is careful not to say. An address with nothing to offer has nothing to tell
either.

2037 tests pass, assets build.

nexxo 3c5bded19c Release v1.3.70
tests / pest (push) Failing after 8m57s Details
tests / assets (push) Successful in 19s Details
tests / release (push) Has been skipped Details
Hostnames and certificates from the console: add a name, see whether it has a
certificate and for how long, and apply the list to the reverse proxy without
logging into the server.

Two numbers are skipped and both were my mistake, so they are named here rather
than left as gaps somebody has to work out later. v1.3.68 was cut while the
working directory was still inside the feature worktree, so it landed on the
branch instead of on main; this release carries it. v1.3.69 was pushed pointing
at v1.3.67's commit. Deleted rather than moved, both times: a published tag that
changes what it points at is worse than a number nobody uses.

This release needs one thing done once per server, because the root-owned helper
gained a verb:

  sudo bash deploy/install-agent.sh

and one line in /etc/caddy/Caddyfile:

  import /etc/caddy/clupilot-proxy-hosts.conf

The installer creates that file before anything imports it — an import of a
missing file makes the whole proxy configuration invalid, and that takes the
public site with it.

2035 tests pass.

nexxo 87264ef1f7 Merge console-managed hostnames, and put the release line back on main
One conflict, in VERSION, and it is worth naming rather than resolving quietly.

v1.3.68 was cut on the FEATURE branch, not on main: the working directory was
still inside .worktrees/host-bootstrap when the merge-and-tag ran, so the merge
was a no-op against itself, the version commit landed on the branch, and the tag
went with it. main stayed on 1.3.67 while a tag claimed otherwise.

This merge brings that commit onto main, so v1.3.68 becomes reachable from the
line it always claimed to be on, and the version continues at 1.3.69 rather than
pretending the number was never used.

The project's own memory records this exact failure — check which branch you are
on before every commit — from the time two releases landed on feat/granted-plans
while live stayed where it was. It was a parallel session then and a stale
working directory now; the rule is the same one.

nexxo 006ce3568b Manage hostnames and watch their certificates from the console
files.clupilot.com is why this exists. DNS pointed at the right machine, the
env var was set, the release was deployed — and there was still no certificate,
because /etc/caddy/Caddyfile is maintained by hand and nobody thought of it as a
second, separate step. Nothing in the console would have said so. Three settings
looked correct and the address did not answer.

So the page holds two things side by side. The WISH — which names should be
served — and the REALITY: whether the name has a certificate and for how much
longer. The second is measured by opening a TLS connection and reading the
expiry, not by reading configuration, because the configuration is exactly what
looked right while the address was dead. verify_peer stays on: a certificate
that fails validation is not a certificate for this question, and a display that
called it valid would be the fake R19 records.

Applying goes through the existing agent, not a new channel. The console writes
a request, the path unit wakes the agent within a second, and the agent calls one
fixed command line of the root-owned helper.

What that helper is allowed to do is the careful part. It fetches the list
ITSELF rather than being handed one, and the list is HOSTNAMES, never Caddy
blocks — `php artisan clupilot:proxy-hosts` prints `<name> <purpose>` and nothing
else. Each name is matched against a strict pattern before it is used, and the
template around it lives in the helper, which the service account cannot touch.
install-agent.sh already states the principle for the sudoers grant: a grant is
only worth anything if the holder cannot change what it grants. A service account
that could write proxy configuration would have everything the proxy can do —
redirects anywhere, files from any directory.

Purpose is a column rather than a habit. A console name gets the network lock,
a public one does not, and a console name published without it looks exactly
like a working page.

Removing takes the name out of the list and NOT out of the running proxy. Two
decisions in one click, and the second one takes a site off the air.

There is deliberately no "renew" button. Caddy renews on its own at two thirds
of the lifetime; what an operator actually needs is a second attempt after an
issuance has failed, and that is a reload — which is what Apply does. Thirty days
is treated as a problem rather than a warning: at ninety days' lifetime, a
renewal should long since have run, so anything under it is not a tight
certificate but a renewal that is not happening.

The ACME contact falls back to the owner's address, because a contact nobody
reads is the step before expired customer certificates.

CONTRACT and HOST_STEP_NEEDS both move to 2, which is what tells a server
carrying the older helper to run the installer again — caught by the guard test
that compares the two halves.

2035 tests pass, assets build.

nexxo a3b43c5175 Release v1.3.68
The reference Caddyfile now carries a block for FILES_HOST. Setting the variable
alone was never enough: the proxy has to terminate TLS for that name and forward
it, and without a site block Caddy never even asks for a certificate.

nexxo 20d87c0474 Put the files hostname in the reference proxy configuration
FILES_HOST tells Laravel which hostname to bind the routes to. It does not make
the reverse proxy terminate TLS for that name or forward it anywhere, and the
live server showed exactly that gap: DNS correct, the right machine, port 80
answering — and a TLS handshake that fails because no certificate exists for the
name.

The block carries two things the other public names do not have to think about.

No console allowlist. The archive is fetched by a server in a RESCUE SYSTEM: a
machine with no tunnel and a public address that is in nobody's allow list. The
console's network lock here would be a lock against the only caller that needs
it. The protection lives in the application instead — no valid one-time code,
404 — and the legal documents are public by intent.

And no `http://… { abort }` either, unlike admin and ws below it. Those two hide
that they exist; this one is meant to be known, and killing port 80 takes the
path away from an ACME check on the day Caddy's own challenge handler is not the
first thing to answer.

Add host rebuilt as a page with one job: a sticky rail of six short steps, the
two provider prerequisites in a panel above the form, and after saving the
command line as the page itself.

Downloads now pass PublicSiteGate. While the site is hidden, a server in a
rescue system would have received the 503 placeholder and piped it into tar — an
unpack error on a machine only reachable through the provider's console.

The number skips 1.3.66. That tag was pushed pointing at v1.3.65's commit,
because the merge behind it had not actually happened, and a server pinning it
would have installed the older tree. It was deleted rather than moved: a
published tag that changes what it points at is worse than a number nobody uses.

nexxo 398028a57d Rebuild Add host as a page with one job, and let downloads through the gate
The page was a wall. Six paragraphs of procedure stacked above a form, so the
thing the page actually asks for — four fields — sat underneath an essay about
what would happen afterwards. It answered everything and showed nothing.

It is now built the way the settings page is built, because that page was
rebuilt for the same reason and there is no case for a second idiom: an eyebrow,
a title, a sticky rail on the left and panels of rows on the right.

The rail carries the six steps as two-word labels rather than paragraphs. That
is what the question at this moment actually is — where am I, how much is left —
and it fits in 232 pixels. The numbers carry the state; a tick beside them would
be a second sign for one statement, and a number can be counted.

What a step MEANS now appears in the row where it is due, not six times in
advance. The two provider steps get a panel of their own above the form, because
they have to be done before you save: the one-time code starts expiring the
moment you do. Everything after the form waits until there is something to say.

After saving the command becomes the page. Full width, its own framed block with
the warning in the header strip rather than floating above, and the two
remaining steps below it as ordinary rows.

Two token bugs went with it. `bg-canvas` does not exist — it was a class that
compiled to nothing, which is part of why the block looked wrong. And
`text-accent` on white is 2.9:1; the config says in as many words to use
accent-text for anything read, so the current step number does.

Also fixed, and it would have broken every takeover in production: PublicSiteGate
is appended to the whole web group, so while the site is hidden a server in a
rescue system fetching the archive would have received the 503 placeholder and
piped it into tar. The operator would have seen an unpack error on a machine
only reachable through the provider's console, with nothing pointing at a switch
in the admin area — and they are by definition neither on a management network
nor signed in, since leaving that state is the whole point. Exempted by ROUTE
NAME, not by hostname: the docblock rightly warns that exempting by host means
trusting a header the caller picks, but that warning is about the entire portal.
Behind these two routes are documents that are public anyway and an archive that
404s without a valid one-time code.

A hostname of its own for downloads. Public: the terms, the DPA and the TOM,
anonymous and indexable, under versioned filenames so an address in a signed
contract keeps meaning what it meant. Private: the bootstrap archive, gated by
the one-time enrolment code that is already in the copied line.

host and nothing changes.

nexxo 156de12c8c Give the downloads a hostname of their own, with two halves
A domain that exists only to serve one installer is not worth a certificate.
One that also carries the AGB, the AV and the TOM is — those addresses go into
contracts and onto invoices and have to still resolve in three years, which an
address that moves with the next rebuild of the portal cannot promise. That
reason is what changed the answer.

files.… over cdn./storage./archiv.: a CDN is an edge network and this is not
one, so the name would be a lie the day a real CDN goes in front of it.
"storage" reads like object storage or customer data, and a customer seeing it
will wonder whether their files live there. "archiv" says superseded, which the
terms currently in force are not — and R13 keeps paths and names English
anyway.

Two halves on that host, with opposite rules, and that is the whole point of
giving it its own name:

Public — storage/app/files/public/, served to anyone, indexable, because
somebody looking for the terms should find them. Versioned filenames:
agb-2026-01.pdf, never agb.pdf, so a contract signed in January cannot come to
point at conditions written in July. The rule is written where somebody will
look for it rather than enforced, because a upload that rejects a filename
helps nobody.

Private — the installer, and it is not a file in that directory at all: it is
built from deploy/bootstrap on demand. The gate is the one-time enrolment code
that is ALREADY in the pasted line, resolved without being consumed, because
the code is still needed for every progress report and for the registration at
the end. No second secret: a dedicated download token would never expire, would
sit in shell histories forever, and would travel in the same line as the
WireGuard private key — protecting the least sensitive thing with the exposure
of the most sensitive one. 404 rather than 403 on a bad code, and noindex on
the response.

Path traversal is answered before it starts: basename() only, no directory tree
under public/ by design, and dotfiles refused. The test walks ../../.env three
different ways.

Empty FILES_HOST keeps the archive on the portal host exactly as before, so
nothing breaks in the window between setting the variable and the DNS record
existing.

The hostname had to move into phpunit.xml rather than a config()->set(): routes
are bound at boot, so a test that sets it afterwards is setting it too late.

2025 tests pass.

tests / release (push) Has been skipped Details
Two features reach a tag at once, because the host-takeover branch was cut from
the operating-mode branch and carries all of it.

The operating mode: a test and a live setting for the whole installation, every
credential with a test slot beside its live one, a stored key that says which
mode it belongs to, and a Stripe catalogue that refuses to act on objects from
the other account.

The host takeover: the bootstrap script that turns a machine in a rescue system
into a finished Proxmox host, the archive that serves it, the one-time enrolment
code, and the six-step guide in the console under Hosts and Add host. None of
the script's steps has been accepted on real hardware yet — every hardware step
in its plan is still unticked, and the console work is what this release makes
visible.

Also in here, found while writing the takeover: host names were being built from
the CUSTOMER zone. RegisterHostDns says clupilot.com in its own docblock, and on
this installation a host was actually called fsn-01.node.clupilot.cloud. There
is a platform_zone now and the step uses it.

2017 tests pass.

nexxo 447d6fe0f3 Merge main into the host-takeover branch
One real conflict, in SyncStripeCatalogue::handle(), and both sides were right.

Main's parallel work resolves the adoption singletons and takes "before" counts
so a run can tell created from adopted. The operating-mode work refuses a
catalogue whose stored objects belong to the other mode, and records which mode
the catalogue now belongs to.

Kept both, with the mode guard first. It REFUSES, so it must not run behind
anything that has already built state; the counters only need to be in place
before the create loop, and they still are. Reversing that order would have the
command resolve singletons and take counts on a catalogue it is about to reject.

nexxo ba4996f316 Keep the platform on .com and the customers on .cloud
The owner caught me putting the archive on clupilot.cloud. That is the customer
zone, and looking into it turned up the same confusion already sitting in the
code — in the one place that matters most.

RegisterHostDns says "fsn-01.node.clupilot.com" in its own docblock. The
validation comment in Datacenters says it. ServicesTest writes it out verbatim.
The step itself built the name from config('provisioning.dns.zone') — the
CUSTOMER zone — so on this installation a host was actually called
fsn-01.node.clupilot.cloud. Three places asserting one thing and the code doing
another.

OfficialDomains explains why that matters and is worth not weakening: two
registrable domains by design, the company's for site, portal and console, the
instance zone for customer workloads. A Nextcloud is third-party software that
strangers sign into, and on the same registrable domain as the portal it shares
cookie scope with it. A host name in that zone does not break the separation,
but it puts it in question, and the next slip is more expensive.

So there is now a platform_zone, derived from APP_URL when unset, and
RegisterHostDns uses it.

My own archiveUrl was broken for a second reason. It fell back to url() when
APP_HOST is empty — and APP_HOST is empty on most installations, because empty
means "the portal answers on any hostname" and that is the default. Called from
the console, url() would have produced the CONSOLE hostname, and the line would
have 404'd on a machine that is not allowed to reach the admin area at all. It
takes the host from APP_URL now.

The script no longer guesses its own name. It used reverse DNS, then the tunnel
address, then a hard-coded clupilot.net — a third domain that appears nowhere
else in this project and was simply invented. PrepareBaseSystem has the same
invention. A guessed name does not stay guessed: it ends up in /etc/hostname, in
/etc/hosts, in every log line and in every certificate request the machine ever
makes. CluPilot knows the name because it just assigned it, so it passes --fqdn
and the script refuses without it. The value now also survives the reboot in the
arguments file, which it would not have.

The ACME contact moved to .com for the same reason it was wrong: the operator
does not live in the customer zone.

Open, and NOT decided here: the owner also wants the host to get a public DNS
record and a certificate on the .com name. RegisterHostDns deliberately writes
host names only into the tunnel's dnsmasq, and says why — publishing them hands
every scanner the internal subnet and roughly how many hosts sit behind it.
Nothing in the current design needs a public certificate for a host's own name;
Traefik serves customer domains, not this one. Reversing that is a security
decision and belongs to the owner, not to this commit.

1992 tests pass.

nexxo 2194ab8079 Put the instructions where somebody reads them before they start
The previous commit shipped the guide AFTER the host was created. Its first two
steps happen at the provider — order the machine, boot the rescue system — and
whoever reads them there has the one-time code already in the clipboard with its
24-hour window running. The instructions were correct and in the wrong place,
which is its own kind of wrong.

Six steps now, not three, and the two provider ones are named rather than
assumed. They are marked "first" so the list does not read as something you can
start at the top of and work down: step 2 is half an hour of waiting, and doing
it inside a running code is exactly the mistake the page should prevent.

All six are visible the whole time, including the done ones and the ones still
to come. A guide that shows only the current step cannot answer "how much is
left", which is the question somebody has while a server they are paying for
sits in a rescue system.

It is on the hosts list too, collapsed. Somebody standing there may not have
ordered the machine yet — and that is step 1. Requiring them to click "add host"
to find out what the procedure is puts the answer behind the action it describes.

One component, two places, so the archive address in the instructions is the same
string the command line will carry. Two copies of that would drift, and the
difference would surface on a server that has already been paid for.

The step-4 command box moved into the guide rather than sitting beside it, so
after creating a host the whole procedure stays on screen. Somebody stuck at
step 5 should not be looking at a page that has become a single box.

1991 tests pass.

nexxo 903ebdd2b2 Give the operator one line to copy and three steps around it
The console could describe a takeover it had no way to start. This is the
vertical slice that closes that: a one-time code, the archive the rescue system
fetches, and the page that says what to do with both.

The command carries EVERYTHING the script needs before the tunnel exists,
because there is nothing to fetch — that is the whole point of spec §5. Which
means CluPilot generates the WireGuard keypair and admits the peer at the hub
before the machine has ever booted, and hands the private half over in the line.
It is worthless within minutes: task 9 of the script replaces it with one
generated on the machine.

Shown exactly once. The database holds only the code's hash and never the
private key, so leaving the page does not bring it back — it mints a new code,
which invalidates the old one. That is deliberate: a glance at somebody's screen
should be worth nothing an hour later.

Which is also why save() no longer redirects. Sending the operator to the host
detail page sends them away from the only value they need, and an existing test
asserted that redirect — it now asserts the opposite, with the reason written
next to it.

SHA-256 rather than bcrypt for the code, and the reason is not speed. Both
endpoints have to FIND the host by the code; with bcrypt that means trying every
row. The code is 32 characters of CSPRNG output, so it has the entropy that
stretching exists to manufacture.

resolve() and claim() are separate because progress reports arrive BEFORE
registration. If reporting consumed the code, a host could never register after
its first message.

The archive URL is always the public hostname. The console runs under admin.…,
but this line executes on a machine that must not reach the admin area — it is
locked down for exactly that reason — so route() from the console would emit a
hostname that 404s on a server only reachable through the provider's console.

The page warns about missing tunnel settings BEFORE the host is created, not
after. An empty hub key produces a line that looks clean, copies fine, runs, and
ends in a tunnel that never handshakes — discovered on the machine, after
somebody has already paid for it.

The three steps lead with the rescue system, because that is the one nobody
knows by heart, and it says enabling is not the same as booting into it — the
script refuses a running production machine, which is what a half-done switch
looks like from the inside.

1986 tests pass.

nexxo 668ed67de4 Write down what to do when the bootstrap stops
One entry per section: how you notice, where to look, what it usually is. Above
all of them the rule the plan already states — a half installed machine is
reinstalled, not repaired — with the reason, which is not convenience. The
script is built so a second run on a freshly imaged machine always comes out the
same; a run on a machine somebody straightened out by hand is no longer that.
Repairing trades a repeatable result for a one-off, and the difference only
shows up on the next host.

rescue_checked is the stated exception, because nothing has been written yet. It
is the only section where fixing in place is right, and the runbook says so
rather than leaving the reader to infer it.

Two things that are easy to get wrong are answered up front. Whether the reboot
has happened is one `findmnt -no FSTYPE /` — tmpfs or overlay means still in the
rescue system, zfs means the first-boot hook already resumed. And when a host is
unreachable, the first question is whether the firewall had even run: it is
applied last, so if `registered` is not done, the cause is the network and not
the rules.

The installer can be watched while it runs. If QEMU is still up, forwarding 5900
over SSH shows what the ISO is doing, and an input mask there means the answer
file was not accepted and the installer has dropped into interactive mode where
it will sit until the hour expires. That failure otherwise arrives as a timeout
saying nothing.

The last heading is the honest one: everything here is written from the script
and the findings behind it, not from incidents. What actually stops on the first
real run belongs in this file afterwards, quoted as it appeared in the console.

nexxo f45f290f00 Hand over the token and let the console take it from here
The last section carries three things, and none of them could sit anywhere
else: the registration and key swap, Traefik's token plus the proof that a route
table actually arrives, and the nftables lockdown that ran last in the old
pipeline for a reason.

`|| true` is gone from the pveum calls, and not by deleting it. `role add ||
true` applied the privilege list only on the run that first created the role, so
a privilege added later reached new hosts and no existing one — which is exactly
how Sys.Modify was missing everywhere, surfacing much later and somewhere else
as a 403 on POST /cluster/backup that failed a paying customer at
register_backup. So: add, and on failure modify, as two separate commands so a
failure can be attributed. For the user and the ACL the tolerated `|| true` is
replaced by looking: try, and if it fails, check whether the desired state holds
anyway. A `|| true` hides "already there" and "went wrong" equally well.

The privilege list is copied verbatim from config/provisioning.php and checked
against it — 18 privileges, byte-identical, Sys.Modify included. It is granted on
/ because both endpoints that need it check / and nothing narrower satisfies
them.

The key swap follows the four steps this plan was amended to require. Register
first and hold the answer, switch wg0 to the new private key, PROVE a fresh
handshake, and only then let the old key go. If the handshake does not come, it
puts the old key back and fails loudly. Ordering alone says when to discard, not
whether the new key carries — and a host that locks itself out on the final step
is the one failure nobody fixes remotely.

Traefik's token is written here because here is where it exists, and the route
table is then fetched directly with that token and that URL. Section 7 could not
give this proof; it is not skipped, it is given where it can be.

The lockdown comes dead last, with the full ruleset from SecureHostFirewall
including the ICMP correction — ICMPv6 neighbour discovery and packet-too-big,
IPv4 fragmentation-needed — because a bare policy drop takes IPv6 down within
minutes and black-holes large transfers instead of failing them. The ruleset is
validated with `nft -c` before it is applied, since a partially loaded ruleset
means policy drop is in place and the exceptions are not. There is no automatic
reopening: a firewall that reopens itself under failure is not a firewall, so the
emergency release is a script for the provider's console.

Verified without hardware: all seven files dash-clean; json_field reads
full-tokenid, value and host_token without jq; the privilege list is identical to
the config's; and the rendered ruleset carries policy drop, both ICMP families,
80/443, the DHCP rebind rule and the tunnel-only 22/8006. Step 2 unticked.

nexxo 5d25018cc6 Build the golden template so nobody has to remember how
All three Block A traps are CHECKED here rather than assumed, because each one
has already cost a paid order and none of them shows a symptom until it is too
late.

Trap 2 is checked before anything is built: virt-filesystems is asked whether
the image uses LVM and whether root is the last partition, and the section
refuses if either is wrong. Debian's cloud image satisfies both by construction,
which is exactly why it is the base — but "satisfies it by construction" is a
claim about an artefact somebody else builds, and it gets verified rather than
trusted.

Traps 1 and 3 are checked AFTER the image is customised, because virt-customize
reports success even when apt quietly did not install something. qemu-guest-agent
has to be in /usr/bin or every provisioning run hangs in WaitForGuestAgent until
it times out, and the compose file inside the image has to carry `user:
www-data` or every occ call fails — including the acceptance check that decides
whether a customer's instance is usable.

The template is verified by its ATTRIBUTE, not its existence. VerifyVmTemplate
checks only that 9000 is there, which a VM that merely happens to be numbered
9000 also passes; `template: 1` is passed only by a template.

Docker comes from Docker's own repository, not Debian's. docker.io ships no
compose plugin and Debian's docker-compose is the old Python one, which does not
read this file at all.

The compose file is deliberately customer-independent: no password, no name, no
domain. Everything variable arrives in /opt/nextcloud/.env, written into the
guest by cloud-init at clone time. Baking a password into an image copies it
onto every host and into every instance, and leaves it there long after the
customer has changed it.

OVERWRITEPROTOCOL, OVERWRITEHOST and TRUSTED_PROXIES are set because TLS ends at
Traefik on the host. Without them Nextcloud builds its own URLs with http://,
the login loops, and WebDAV clients get handed an address that does not exist.

Storage is discovered rather than named: local-zfs is what the PVE installer
creates on ZFS, local-lvm on ext4, and `local` frequently cannot hold disks at
all — an importdisk there fails only after the copy.

Verified without hardware: dash-clean; the compose file parses, carries `user:
www-data` on the app service, publishes 80, and every credential is a ${...}
reference rather than a literal. Step 2 unticked, and it is the one the plan is
most insistent about: the template must actually be cloned, started, and asked
`occ status` as www-data. Without that clone it is not proven.

nexxo a25e9c2fe6 Run Traefik as a service that fetches its own routes
Binary plus systemd unit, no Docker on the hypervisor: nftables stays the only
owner of the host's firewall rules and a Docker daemon would bring its own
chain.

The names were read out of SshTraefikWriter::render() rather than guessed, which
is what the handoff asks for in as many words. The route endpoint emits
entryPoints ["websecure"] and certResolver "letsencrypt", so the static config
declares exactly those. Name them differently here and the routers point at
nothing while Traefik still reports a clean start — a failure with no symptom
at the place it happens.

An ordering problem this plan had not resolved: the http provider needs the
durable host token, and that token only exists after POST /host/register, two
sections later. Rather than reorder the section keys — they are the contract
with the platform plan — the static config is written twice. Here with an empty
token, so the service stands and holds 80 and 443, and again in Task 9 with the
real one. The proof does not disappear, it moves to where it can be given.

That proof asks the endpoint directly with the same token and URL the config
carries, instead of counting Traefik's routers. A fresh host has no customers,
so its table is legitimately empty, and "zero routers" would mean both "fine"
and "never fetched".

Ports are checked separately from the service. "Running" and "listening" are two
claims, and Traefik starts cleanly even when a typo means an entryPoint was
never created.

The binary is checksummed against the release's own checksums file, for the same
reason the ISO is: what listens on 80 and 443 and holds every customer's
certificate does not get taken off the network unverified. The version is
discovered at runtime, because a pinned number becomes a 404 mid-takeover.

acme.json is created at 600 before Traefik ever runs. It holds the private keys
of every customer certificate, and Traefik refuses wider permissions — rightly.
The unit runs with CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE and nothing else, ProtectSystem=strict,
NoNewPrivileges: this is the one process on the box reachable from the open
internet.

Verified without hardware: dash-clean, the generated config parses as YAML, and
it carries web/websecure/traefik as entryPoints, letsencrypt as the resolver,
the Bearer header on the http provider, web redirecting to websecure, and 640 on
the config with 600 on acme.json and the token file. Step 2 unticked — it wants a
fetched route set, and that is Task 9's to show.

nexxo c345f21e7d Join the tunnel, then tell the console everything so far
The three interface states come over from ConfigureWireguard.php exactly as
that file works them out, because the one line they replace got two of them
wrong. `systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg0 || wg-quick up wg0` brought the
interface up via its fallback WITHOUT the systemd enablement, so the tunnel did
not come back after a reboot; and on the next attempt both halves failed with
"wg0 already exists", so it retried forever against a tunnel that was working.
Enable before start, because enable is the half that survives a reboot, and it
is repaired even when the interface is already up by other means.

The configuration is compared before it is written. The file used to be
rewritten unconditionally with nothing reloading it, so correcting a wrong hub
key showed a new file and identical behaviour — the running interface still
held the old peer. Knowing whether it CHANGED is what lets an unchanged, working
tunnel be left alone and a corrected one actually be applied. A change means a
restart rather than `wg syncconf`, because syncconf applies peers only and a
corrected Address or AllowedIPs would silently do nothing.

AllowedIPs is computed, not copied. Writing the host's own address there would
let the tunnel handshake and leave every other participant unreachable — a fault
that looks like a routing problem somewhere else entirely.

The handshake target is derived from --api rather than taking its own argument.
CluPilot's tunnel address is already in there, and a second value meaning the
same thing is a second value that eventually disagrees with the first.

The tunnel counts only when it has been PROVEN, never when the file is on disk.
A stored tunnel address without proof made every later connection attempt
useless and the recovery was hand-editing the database. Once it is proven,
flush_reports runs and the whole history from the rescue system onwards reaches
the console carrying its original timestamps.

Verified without hardware: dash-clean; the subnet arithmetic is right on octet
boundaries and off them (192.168.5.130/25 gives 192.168.5.128/25, 172.16.4.9/12
gives 172.16.0.0/12); the API host parser handles a bare address, a scheme, a
port and a path; and wg0.conf renders with AllowedIPs on the network rather than
the host. Step 2 unticked — it wants all five earlier sections showing up in the
console with real timestamps, and that needs a hub.

nexxo 9e485efe87 Write the firewall's running order into the plan, not just the commit
The previous commit moved the nftables lockdown out of Task 5 and explained why
in its message. A commit message is not where the next person looks. Task 5 now
carries it: the bridge is normally already there because the ISO installer
writes it, the lockdown belongs in Task 9 because SecureHostFirewall ran last
for a reason, and "check from outside" cannot mean what it says before the
tunnel exists — so the script checks inside-out and says so.

nexxo e9b2862331 Bridge the network, and take it back if the host goes quiet
Reading ConfigureProxmox.php changed what this section does. The missing vmbr0
that killed the first paid order is a consequence of installing Proxmox ON TOP
OF DEBIAN — "only the ISO installer writes that bridge into
/etc/network/interfaces". This design installs from the ISO, so the bridge is
normally already there. The section verifies it instead of building it: exists,
has an address, and actually carries the default route. The old step checked
only the first of those, threw the result away, and its comment claimed it
recorded the absence.

When there is no bridge, it builds one, and only then is this the dangerous
section the plan calls it. Backup, five-minute rollback timer, switch, look,
cancel — and the timer is a systemd unit rather than a backgrounded sleep,
because a background job dies with its session and the session is exactly what
breaks when the switch goes wrong. It is set BEFORE the change; setting it after
would mean setting it at the moment the connection is already gone.

The three provider shapes differ in one line, and that line decides whether the
machine is still there afterwards. A routed single address needs pointopoint,
because its gateway is outside its own subnet and without it the kernel has no
route to reach it. Which shape applies is decided by asking `ip route get` about
the gateway rather than by doing subnet arithmetic here — same logic the kernel
will apply later.

The reachability check is named for what it is: inside-out. A true outside-in
proof would need a counterpart, and before the tunnel there is none. It is
enough because a bridge that takes the host off the network takes both
directions with it, and what it does not cover is precisely what the timer
covers.

One deviation from the plan, written into it: the nftables lockdown does NOT
belong here. SecureHostFirewall ran LAST in the old pipeline, deliberately, so
the tunnel had already carried every earlier step before SSH-to-the-world was
closed. Here it would sit BEFORE wireguard_joined and shut port 22 with no
handshake yet proven — the ordering that makes a host permanently unreachable.
It moves to Task 9, where it used to be. The self-rollback stays here and covers
the network change; the firewall keeps its manual emergency release, because a
firewall that reopens itself under failure is not a firewall.

The datacenter firewall comes over verbatim, including why `enable 1` alone is a
trap: the management ipset is seeded from the public subnet, so enabling it
blindly drops the tunnel address that every later step arrives on. Three
settings in order, then read back — a pvesh set returning 0 is not the same as
the value being in cluster.fw, and a write that lost quorum is exactly the case
where every customer VM's rules stay inert while onboarding reports success.

Verified without hardware: all four files dash-clean, and the generated
interfaces file is correct for subnet, routed (with pointopoint) and dhcp.
Step 2 unticked — the self-rollback has to be triggered on purpose on real
hardware, and the plan is right that without that it is an assertion.

nexxo f214713113 Point Proxmox at the sources this Debian actually has
PVE arrives with the image now, so this section accepts it rather than installs
it — but it needs every line of knowledge from InstallProxmoxVe.php to do that,
just pointed the other way.

The kernel is the claim, not the package. An installed proxmox-ve running on a
Debian kernel is exactly the half state RebootIntoPveKernel exists because of,
so uname is what gets checked.

The codename table now verifies a pairing instead of creating one. An image
whose PVE major does not match its Debian base was built wrong, and no amount
of fixing package sources heals a PVE compiled against a different libc — that
machine gets reinstalled with the right image. The other half of the table,
codename to PVE major, is written down here because the ISO route needs it and
the original file only had the suite side.

Removing the subscription repositories is the part that everything after this
depends on. A Proxmox image ships pve-enterprise, and without a subscription it
fails every apt-get update — after which no package install in any later
section succeeds. Both spellings are handled, because PVE 8 used one-line .list
files and PVE 9 moved to deb822, and ceph is in the list because the same trap
is set there a second time. The proof is a clean apt-get update at the end,
which is the only thing that tells removal apart from overwriting.

One thing changed after the first draft: when pveversion cannot be parsed, the
pairing check used to be skipped in silence. That is the fake that R19 records
as worse than no check at all, because it stops the next person from looking.
It now says "Paarung UNGEPRÜFT" in the report and in the log.

Verified without hardware: dash-clean; bookworm maps to PVE 8, trixie to PVE 9,
forky is refused; the pveversion parser reads 9 and 8 out of both real formats
and yields nothing for garbage; and against a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list.d
holding all five subscription files plus an unrelated one, exactly the five go
and the unrelated one stays. Step 2 unticked — there is no Proxmox here to
accept.

nexxo 0f563545fd Write the image and survive the first reboot
The official Proxmox ISO, an answer file baked into it, and QEMU running it
against the physical disks from the rescue system. Options were looked up
rather than recalled: prepare-iso takes --fetch-from iso, --answer-file and
--on-first-boot, and it names its own output, so the finished ISO is found by
glob afterwards instead of being handed an --output flag I would have invented.

validate-answer runs BEFORE the ISO is baked. An answer file with a typo drops
the installer into interactive mode, where it then hangs invisibly inside QEMU
until the hour runs out — the failure would arrive as a timeout and say nothing
about the cause.

The codename table comes over verbatim from InstallProxmoxVe.php, which the
platform plan deletes. It is used here to install the assistant into the RESCUE
system, so it keys off the rescue system's own codename. An unknown one aborts;
not "trixie is newest, so trixie", because the next Debian will be unknown too
and by then nobody is watching.

The ISO is checksummed against the mirror's SHA256SUMS. Booting an operating
system that could have become anything in transit is not a risk worth taking,
and a truncated download is enough to cause it — malice is not required.

The reboot carry-across is the gap this plan was amended for, and [first-boot]
takes exactly one executable. So that one file carries everything: the script,
its lib/, the progress file and the arguments, as a base64 archive in its own
body. That also avoids importing the fresh ZFS pool from the rescue system to
copy files into it.

Two bugs found by running it rather than reading it. The staging copy put the
work directory inside the state directory, so cp refused to copy a directory
into itself — and had it not refused, the gigabyte ISO would have been base64'd
into the hook that gets baked into that same ISO. The fix is not a better
exclude: the two directories have opposite lifetimes, so they now live in
different places, and a guard refuses loudly if anyone points them at each other
again. Structure beats a rule someone has to remember.

Verified without hardware: both files pass sh and dash. The generated answer
file parses as TOML with the expected disk-list, zfs.raid, zfs.arc-max,
first-boot and network.filter, and a 64-character root password. The codename
table accepts bookworm and trixie and refuses bullseye and forky. The shim comes
out at 26 KB with a 3 MB dummy ISO sitting in the work directory, proving it
stayed out. Run in a fresh debian:13-slim container it unpacks to
/opt/clupilot/bootstrap and /var/lib/clupilot, restores the progress file with
its original timestamp, has 700 on the directory and 600 on the arguments that
hold the WireGuard key, skips rescue_checked as already done, and fails cleanly
on the missing qemu. Step 2 stays unticked: a container is not a rescue system,
and nothing here has yet written to a disk.

nexxo 0b26e45147 Install Proxmox the way Proxmox says to, not the way I guessed
The previous commit put installimage with a Proxmox image into Task 3. That
image does not exist. Hetzner's installimage carries no Proxmox and lists it as
unsupported, so anyone following that instruction finds only Debian and ends up
back at the intermediate base system the same commit had just removed. Looked
up rather than remembered, which is what should have happened before writing it
down.

The mechanism the owner described does exist and is the official one since PVE
8.2: build the real Proxmox ISO with an embedded answer file via
proxmox-auto-install-assistant, run it under QEMU against the physical disks
from the rescue system, reboot into a finished node. Hetzner publishes a
tutorial for exactly this. No Debian, no VNC, no click — which is what the
owner said in the first place.

Two things fall out of the answer file that improve the plan.

The hand-written systemd resume service is gone. [first-boot] with
source = "from-iso" is the supported way to have the script pick itself up
after the reboot, and it is the only variant that can work before the tunnel
exists — a from-url hook would be pointing at a CluPilot it cannot reach yet.
The carry-across of the progress file stays necessary regardless: the rescue
system's copy still lives in RAM.

Trap 2 was being applied to the wrong machine. "Root partition last, not on
LVM" comes from the template traps, and the reason it exists is
GrowGuestFilesystem, which grows a GUEST filesystem. The template is built in
Task 8 from a Debian cloud image, not from the host's own layout, so the
justification written into Task 3 ("it applies to the host too, because the
template is built from here") does not hold. It remains binding for the
template, where it belongs. The host gets ZFS, and that it happens to involve
no LVM is a side effect rather than the reason — with arc-max pinned, because
the default takes half the RAM a host needs for its guests.

Also recorded: the answer file needs an fqdn and a root password that the
command line does not carry. The password is generated and thrown away, because
the platform no longer logs in over SSH and the plan already says a half
installed machine is reinstalled rather than repaired — keeping a secret for an
emergency the plan does not have only creates another place a secret lives.

nexxo 8f943f3d1b Take the Debian step out of a plan that never needed one
The owner contradicted the plan, and the plan was wrong. It had the script
write Debian 13 and then had Task 4 turn that into a Proxmox host. In reality
you boot the provider's rescue system and install Proxmox directly — there is
no intermediate Debian for anyone to convert.

The section keys do NOT change. They are the only agreement with the platform
plan, and they are not worth touching for a rename — especially since they
still fit: Proxmox VE is Debian with the PVE kernel and packages on top. What
changes is what they mean, written down so the console labels them honestly:
debian_installed is "base system written", proxmox_installed is "PVE proven to
run".

Task 3 now uses installimage with a Proxmox image, and says the image name gets
pinned during acceptance instead of guessed here — the list belongs to the
provider and moves. No debootstrap and no hand-rolled partitioner: the provider
knows its own hardware, and a self-built boot path on someone else's metal only
comes back through their console. Hetzner dedicated only; a netcup path gets
written when there is a netcup machine to accept it on, because an unproven
fallback is exactly the assertion this plan avoids everywhere else (R22).

Task 4 keeps every line of knowledge from InstallProxmoxVe.php and needs all of
it — it just applies it to an image instead of a bare base. The codename table
now VERIFIES the pairing rather than creating it, and the enterprise repo that
ships with a Proxmox image has to go, because without a subscription it fails
every apt-get update and therefore every package install in the sections that
follow. Its acceptance now includes a clean apt-get update, which is the only
way to tell removal from overwriting.

Delivery is settled too, and was written down in neither document: a tar.gz
unpacked to /opt/clupilot/bootstrap. A curl | sh cannot carry a lib/, and the
separate files are load-bearing. A static archive is not an endpoint that
answers questions, so spec §5 stands.

nexxo 25bcab345d Refuse a machine that cannot do the job
Four checks, all of them before a single byte is written, because this is the
only moment the script still has the option of not overwriting a disk.

The expensive one is "is this actually a rescue system". It demands POSITIVE
evidence rather than the absence of a counter-argument: a rescue system runs
from RAM, so its root is tmpfs, an overlay or a ramdisk, and an installed
system has a real partition there. A running pveversion is refused outright —
that is a hypervisor with customers on it. Mounted partitions of real disks are
refused too, because at that point the script cannot tell an empty machine from
someone's data.

There is deliberately no flag to skip the check. Such a flag gets used exactly
once, on the evening it should not have been. A rescue system this does not
recognise belongs in the runbook, not in a bypass.

The disk floor is written as arithmetic rather than a number, because the repo
has no threshold to borrow — plans live in the database, not in
config/provisioning.php. Template ~20 GB, Proxmox and its swap and backups
~20 GB, one smallest customer ~50 GB, rounded up to 100. It is explicitly not
capacity planning; HostCapacity and reserve_pct do that after registration.
This only turns away the machine the whole thing cannot fit on.

Network and clock come from one plain-HTTP HEAD, deliberately without TLS —
otherwise a wrong clock would be checking itself and would report a certificate
error instead of the time. Where `date -d` is missing (busybox), the clock is
NOT checked and the report says so: a check that silently waves things through
is worse than none, because it stops the next person from looking. That is the
same lesson R19 records about ->timezone(config('app.timezone')).

Verified here, in both directions where a direction existed. On this VM (root
on /dev/sda1, 80 GB, /dev/kvm present): refuses with three findings at once,
exits 1, writes nothing. In a debian:13-slim container (root on overlay, no
/dev/kvm): the overlay root is accepted as rescue-like and the missing
/dev/kvm is caught, which is the abort case the plan names. Against a receiver
serving a Date header two years off: 63074141 seconds of drift, refused, with
the exact `date -u -s` line to fix it. Step 2 stays unticked — none of these is
a rescue system on a dedicated server.

nexxo af284d7d26 Give the bootstrap a spine and a way to report
Argument parsing, the state directory, and the half of the script that knows
the way back to CluPilot. No sections are hooked up yet; main lists the nine it
will get, in the order from spec §7, so what is missing stays visible.

report() writes locally first and only then tries to send, because before
wireguard_joined there is no path at all — the lines queue up and flush_reports
delivers them later WITH THEIR OWN TIMESTAMPS. That last part is the whole
point: a twenty-minute install that arrives in one batch looks like one second
in the console, and nobody can see which section was slow.

Every network operation is explicitly caught. The script runs under `set -e`,
and a failing send is the normal case for the first five sections, not an
error — a report that aborts the run would be the diagnosis that kills the
patient.

What is sent had no agreed shape. The section keys were the only agreement
between the two plans; the envelope around them was not written down anywhere,
so it is written down here, at the top of report.sh, for the platform side to
read once. There is deliberately no "running" state: the console derives "open"
from the absence of a report (spec §7), and a third state would be a second
truth about the same thing.

The sent-marker is a line count in its own file rather than a flag rewritten
into progress.jsonl. That keeps the log append-only, so a power cut mid-write
costs at most a partial last line instead of a rewritten file — and after the
reboot in Task 3 that file is the only thing that remembers anything.

Verified here, without hardware: both syntax checks pass; two reports against
an unreachable CluPilot queue up without aborting and leave progress.sent at 0;
a receiver brought up afterwards gets both in one batch, carrying 17:28:55 and
17:28:57 rather than the 17:29:22 they arrived at; a message containing quotes,
a backslash, a tab and a newline survives as valid JSON; and section_done
counts a `done` as done and a `failed` as not. Step 2 of this task is NOT
ticked — none of that is a rescue system, and the plan is right to insist.

nexxo 79654333a8 Name the recurring filter, and stop the spec contradicting itself
Three sentences left over from the wave before, all of the kind this branch
exists to end.

- "Every active Price" was one word short. activePricesFor() sends
  `type: recurring` as well as `active: true`, so a one-time Price is never
  listed — which made the hand-built-payment-link sentence false for a one-time
  link: neither listed nor archived. Both places say `recurring` now, and the
  docblock says why the filter is not a gap: createPrice() always sends
  `recurring[interval]` and is the only call that mints a Price at one of our
  Products, so the filter can only ever hide somebody else's one-time Price.
  A filter left out of a sentence is a gap the next reader goes looking for.
- The sweep test file still opened "The orphans nobody can adopt" — the exact
  narrowing the command's own docblock had to be corrected away from. It happens
  to describe the fixtures, which are all metadata-less, so it now says that
  instead of claiming it of the command.
- The design doc called --archive "harmlos" seven lines above the correction
  establishing that it is not, for an adoptable orphan. A document that
  contradicts itself seven lines apart teaches nobody anything.

nexxo 61c2501136 Close three gaps before they become three bugs in the script
Read on review, before a line of shell was written. All three would have been
found on hardware instead — two of them late, and one of them only by noticing
something that was silently absent.

The progress file did not survive the reboot. Task 1 writes it in the rescue
system, whose root lives in RAM; Task 3 installs Debian and reboots. The plan
said the resuming service uses "the same progress file" without saying how it
gets there. Because flush_reports first runs in Task 6, AFTER the reboot,
rescue_checked and debian_installed would simply never have reached the console
— and nothing would have pointed at the reboot as the reason. Task 3 now carries
the file, the script, and the arguments across, the last one root-readable only
because the WireGuard key is in it.

RebootIntoPveKernel.php was on the platform plan's delete list but not on this
plan's read list. Six files were named; seven are deleted. This is the one that
proves the boot path BEFORE issuing the one irreversible command in the whole
run: a -pve kernel image present, its initramfs present (a full /boot leaves
exactly the half-written one), and update-grub checked on its exit status, which
its predecessor discarded. Losing that would have cost a machine that does not
come back, and on a dedicated server that means the provider's console.

Reading it also corrected a rule this plan states. Task 9 rightly refuses
`pveum ... || true`, but that is not a rule against `|| true` — RebootIntoPveKernel
tolerates one deliberately, with the reason written next to it, and a script
that applies the ban literally breaks the kernel removal in Task 3. The rule is
now stated as what it is: no `|| true` over a command whose failure means
something.

The key swap in Task 9 had no proven handshake. Task 6 insists a tunnel counts
only with one, then Task 9 re-keys that same tunnel and discards the old key on
ordering alone. Ordering says when to discard, not whether the new key carries.
Four numbered steps now, with the proof third and the discard fourth, and a
fallback to the old key if the handshake does not come — the one failure nobody

nexxo fe07fa2e77 Break the host takeover into two plans that can run side by side
Platform: ten tasks, all provable by the suite. Enrolment code and key pair,
the tunnel-only restriction (its test is the reason the design looks the way it
does), register, progress, routes, retiring SshTraefikWriter, the console, the
customer's own subdomain, shrinking the pipeline to six steps that only look,
and pulling the readiness checks along.

Script: ten tasks, none provable by the suite — a script that installs an
operating system cannot be run in SQLite. Each one ends on real hardware
instead, and two of them insist on it: the bridge section must have its
self-revert triggered on purpose, and the template must actually be cloned and
booted before it counts.

The one real coupling is written into both: platform task 9 DELETES the seven
step files the script plan reads its knowledge from. Do not run it before that
knowledge has been lifted — git log keeps them, but nobody reads history they
do not know to look for.

nexxo a43be4186a Say what the sweep did not check, before telling anyone to archive
stripe:sweep-orphan-prices described itself as listing "what AdoptStripePrice
will not take over". It computes nothing of the sort: it lists every active
Price at one of our Products that no register row knows, adoptable or not — the
only question it asks is whether a row holds the id. And then it invited the
destructive path, with no word anywhere about running stripe:sync-catalogue
first.

Following that advice can make a plan unsellable. Archive an orphan the next
sync would have adopted and the sync can no longer see it: activePricesFor()
asks Stripe for active prices only, so adoption returns null and createPrice()
fires under the same key the crashed run used. For twenty-four hours Stripe
answers a repeated key by replaying the stored response — the archived Price's
id, in the body it had while it was live. The register writes it down as live,
and the checkout is refused. This is the same class of defect the branch exists
against: a comment that was eloquent and wrong.

- The docblock now says what the command lists, names the twenty-four-hour
  replay so nobody has to rediscover it, and the ordering requirement is in
  $description and printed on every path that found something, --archive
  included. The reassurance that archiving is harmless is now scoped to what
  THIS codebase sells; a payment link an operator built by hand against one of
  our Products is withdrawn all the same, and says so.
- stripe:sync-catalogue --dry-run says "created or adopted" again. A dry run
  counts intents without calling ensure(), so it cannot know which Stripe
  already holds — and a dry run is the first thing an operator runs after an
  interrupted one. The live line keeps both figures, where they are knowable.
- The sweep's plan side gets a test: an orphan at a family Product is reported
  and a known plan Price never is. Deleting either half of the lookup turns it
  red; the five tests it joins all stayed green for the products() half.
- The throttle test pinned "once" and neither "per price" nor "per day". A key
  mutated to a constant would have silenced every orphan after the first and
  kept it green — the silent no-op the branch is built against. It now plants a
  second orphan, and travels a day to hear the first one again.
- Two of my own documents corrected. The spec sentence claiming an adoptable
  orphan never appears in this list is what the implementation faithfully built;
  it holds only if a sync has run since the orphan appeared, which nothing
  enforced. And the two adoption classes do not carry the same run log:
  $adoptions on the Price side, $duplicates on the Product side.

nexxo 32016d9b80 Write down the network boundary, the subdomain, and two decided follow-ups
The route pull stays inside the tunnel. The operator's criterion was not
availability but "publicly reachable, yes or no" — and an endpoint that survives
a tunnel outage must by definition be reachable outside it. So nothing new opens
from outside, on the host or here.

The subdomain becomes the customer's choice at checkout, with suggestions from
their own name and a sentence saying the address is permanently public: every
Let's Encrypt certificate lands in the Certificate Transparency logs, which are
public, searchable and never deleted.

Also recorded, both decided and both getting their own spec: resetting a
Nextcloud to factory state with a 14-day safety backup, and an outage mail to
the operator after two consecutive failed checks — measured today that neither
an incident nor a mail exists, so a customer VM can fail unnoticed.

nexxo 571acd0013 Check Stripe is configured on every path the sweep actually uses
The dry-run guard was copied from stripe:sync-catalogue, where it is right:
that command's --dry-run touches nothing, because everything it compares
already lives in our own tables. This command has no such local-only mode —
the report IS a live activePricesFor() call, dry-run or not — so `! $dryRun &&`
made the guard fire only on the one path that would have worked anyway. A
--dry-run against an unconfigured account fell straight into
HttpStripeClient's own exception instead of the clean error and self::FAILURE.

nexxo 277a6bab83 Give the operator something to do about an orphan nobody can adopt
The recognition step refuses a price that proves nothing about itself, and that
is right — adopting a stranger's price is worse than minting a second one. It
left an operator with a log line and no way to act on it.

Reports by default and touches nothing. With --archive the orphans stop being
sold, which is harmless for the reason it always is here: Stripe goes on billing
every subscription already on an archived price, and nothing is sold on a price
no row knows.

nexxo c0cd367a0e Drop the public endpoint: the command line already carries what the host needs
The operator was right to challenge POST /enrol. The three values a script needs
before the tunnel exists — hub key, hub address, assigned tunnel IP — are all
known to the console when the host is created, so they travel in the copied
command instead of being fetched.

The one thing that forced an endpoint was the hub needing the host's public key
before the tunnel is up. So the console generates the pair and hands it over,
and the host swaps in a freshly generated key through the tunnel afterwards.
The key that passed through a clipboard lives for minutes.

Net effect: the network boundary is unchanged. No new way in from outside.

nexxo 048e5ba81f Subtract only what was counted, not everything a singleton adopted
A figure may only subtract what it counted as an intent in the first place. The
family loop counts a Product before knowing whether it will be adopted or
minted, so an adoption there could honestly be subtracted back out — but
syncModules() has never counted a module's own Product as an intent at all; it
only counts a module's Prices. Reading AdoptStripeProduct::adoptions as one
run-wide delta could not tell the two apart, so a module Product adopted from
an interrupted run silently inflated "adopted" and shrank "created" by exactly
one, for a Product the command never claimed to have made in the first place.

The fix counts the family side locally, at the one call site that already
counts the intent, and leaves a module's Product out of both figures entirely —
adopted or minted, it was never counted, so neither number may move for it.
AdoptStripeProduct::$adoptions is gone with it: nothing reads a singleton-wide
total that cannot be attributed to one side or the other, and keeping it around
unread would be exactly the kind of state this codebase does not leave lying
about.

The duplicate-product report had the same shape of bug one line down: it read
straight off the singleton's list with no before/after snapshot, so a second
handle() call in one process would reprint a duplicate an earlier run already
named. Sliced to what this run itself added, the same way the counters beside
it already were.

Also: the unread `$charged` line in the adoption test that TDD had already
exercised as dead weight, and its now-unused PlanPrices import.

nexxo 5883989552 Give settings the shape a settings page actually has
Four attempts, and this is what was wrong with the last one: full-width
panels stacked down the page, each carrying its own title INSIDE it. Every
group had two frames — the title bar and the border — so the page read as
a column of long boxes with nothing saying where one topic ended and the
next began, and a phone number got a field a thousand pixels wide.

The shape now:

- **A section list on the left**, sticky, so the sections stay reachable
  however far a form runs. Below `lg` it becomes a scrolling strip of
  chips, because a vertical list on a telephone is four rows of nothing.
  Under it, who is signed in — on a shared office machine that is a real
  question, and a settings page is where it gets asked.
- **A content column of 820px**, not the whole 1240 shell.
- **The heading OUTSIDE the card it belongs to.** A section is a heading, a
  sentence, and then a card of rows. That single move is what stops them
  reading as boxes: the border now frames the fields, not the topic.
- **What cannot be undone is last, in a card whose border says so** — the
  deletion deadlines and the close button together, at the foot of the
  contract section, in danger colours.

The rows are unchanged (label left, control right) and so is every binding;
what changed is the frame around them.

nexxo df7da334ee Say what was adopted, not that it was created
The count is taken before ensure() runs, so the sweep reported objects created in
Stripe when it had made none — and after the next interrupted run, that line is
the first thing a human reads. Telling the two apart is the whole point of the
recognition step.

Comparing the price id before and after the call does not distinguish them
either: there is no id before, in either case. AdoptStripePrice counts its own
adoptions instead, which is why it and its product sibling are now singletons —
resolved per call, a counter on the instance would never pass one.

Duplicate products are named in the report as well as the log. We deliberately do
not deactivate them, so only a person can resolve one, and a person reads this.

nexxo 880b5f1998 Merge main into the operating-mode branch
Three real conflicts, and one file that did not conflict and mattered more.

Overview::notices(): both sides added notices. Kept all of them, and pointed
main's mail check at MailboxTransport::NON_DELIVERING — its own comment already
named the constant while the code carried a copy of the list.

billing.blade.php: main wrapped the page in a contract branch. The "payment is
not set up" error moved OUTSIDE it, because the customer most likely to meet
that message is the one buying for the first time, who has no contract yet and
would never have seen it from inside the @else.

ConsoleReportsRealDataTest: kept both sides rather than choosing. The renamed
test and its docblock explain why admin.systems_ok can no longer be asserted on
a bare install; main's mail pin still keeps "clean" clean in the mail
dimension. Picking one would have quietly weakened the other's claim.

HostStepsTest: git combined main's config()->set('provisioning.dns.zone',
'clupilot.com') with this branch's assertion on clupilot.cloud, and produced a
test that contradicted itself with no marker. Main's approach is the better one
— it pins the zone in the test and asserts the SHAPE of the name rather than
this box's domain — so its assertion stands.

HttpStripeClient merged silently and correctly: secret() still throws,
isConfigured() still reads the vault directly. Had it taken main's
filled($this->secret()), six callers that ask in order NOT to get an exception
would have become exception throwers, and the suite would have stayed green.
CheckoutWithoutStripeKeyTest is the lock that would have caught it.

StripeIdempotencyKeyTest (new on main) leaned on the environment fallback for
stripe.secret. That entry is strict now — no fallback in either direction, so
the .env cannot be a back door for a live key in test mode. It stores a real
vault row instead.

1966 tests pass.

nexxo d6ec09a9b4 Recognise the product Stripe already has
The gap beside the guard. A run that creates a product and dies before storing
its id leaves an orphan exactly as a price does, and past the key's twenty-four
hours the next run makes a second one — after which activePricesFor() is asked
about the wrong product, price recognition goes blind for the whole family, and
every orphaned price on the first product is unreachable.

Two things are unlike the price side, deliberately. No money gate: a product
carries no amount, so its metadata is the whole of the proof. And a duplicate is
reported, never deactivated — archiving a price is provably harmless because
Stripe keeps billing subscriptions already on it, but deactivating a product
makes its prices unsellable and contracts can be running on those.

Silent about strangers, too. This asks for every active product on the account,
so an operator selling something else through it is an ordinary state, not a
finding worth a line on every run.

nexxo 2a97d76b2d Rebuild the settings page out of panels and rows
**The withdrawal was invisible in two different ways.** It rendered only
while the fourteen days were still running, so the moment they expired the
whole block vanished — indistinguishable from a feature nobody built. And
the account it was looked for on has no contract at all: no package, no
subscription, nothing to withdraw from, so there was never anything for it
to be about.

It is now a row for every CONSUMER who has a contract, open or not: while
it runs, the deadline and the button; afterwards, the sentence saying why
it is over. A business never sees it — WithdrawalRight answers that, and
Settings::withdraw() refuses them again on the server. And an account with
no package says so and offers the packages, instead of a dead sentence in
a box.

**The page is built out of two pieces now.** x-ui.panel is a group: a card
with a header that names it. x-ui.row is a setting inside it: what it is
on the left, the control on the right, dividers between rows. That is the
shape every settings page worth copying uses, and it is the shape that
uses the width — a 280px label column with the control beside it fills the
line, where a stack of full-width inputs leaves two thirds of it empty and
a grid of cards of different heights walks down the screen as a staircase.

All four tabs are rebuilt on it, so the page reads as one designed thing
rather than four pages that happen to share a tab bar. Below `sm` the rows
stack, because on a telephone a label belongs above its field.

One character in a @return line of webhooks(), untouched by anything this

nexxo 786318b6d4 Never tell anyone to delete a catalogue their contracts bill on
The refusal added in the previous commit had a state it read wrongly, and
the wrong reading was destructive.

record() sat at the END of handle() and in no try/finally, while
createProduct() and ensure() throw uncaught. A run that died after the
first object left hasStoredObjects() true and recorded() null. The same
state arises with no failure at all: CheckoutController → PlanPrices::
ensure() and BookAddon → SyncStripeAddonItems → AddonPrices::ensure()
mint missing prices and never call record().

In that state the next run — in the SAME mode — refused with the foreign
account message and its "Clear plan_families.stripe_product_id,
plan_prices.stripe_price_id and the … registers first", and
billing.catalogue_synced blocked with the same text. The objects were
from the account in force. The right move was to resume, which is what
the idempotency keys exist for; instead an operator was handed a delete
instruction for a catalogue live contracts are billed on.

Two changes:

  1. record() moves ahead of the creation loop, right behind the refusal.
     There it is already proved that either nothing is stored or what is
     stored belongs to the active account, so the moment carries the
     claim just as well — and a run that dies part-way can no longer
     leave a state that contradicts itself.
  2. "Origin never recorded" gets its own sentence and its own cure,
     separate from "established: other account".
     StripeCatalogueMode::matchesActiveMode() becomes
     belongsToAnotherMode(), which is only true where the other account
     is fact. The check still blocks — the origin cannot be proved — but
     it says "run the sync again", and it names no register to empty.

Red first:

  ⨯ it takes up a catalogue whose origin was never written down
      Failed asserting that 1 matches expected 0.
  ⨯ it leaves no half-built catalogue that contradicts itself when a run dies
      Failed asserting that null is identical to an object of class "App\Support\OperatingMode".
  ⨯ it tells an unrecorded origin apart from a foreign account

The two states are held apart by assertion, not by wording: only the
foreign-account sentence may name stripe_plan_prices, and the unrecorded
one must name stripe:sync-catalogue instead. The existing foreign-account
test keeps its teeth.

Full suite: 1817 passed, 6366 assertions.
