feat(agent): attribute mid-ESP coalesced reboots to MDM policy URIs (second sign-in detection)

Device-assigned MDM policies whose CSP URIs match the OS reboot-required
catalog force a coalesced reboot at the end of ESP DeviceSetup - the user
sees an unexpected restart and a second sign-in before AccountSetup.
Invisible in the Intune console; admins simply lived with it. Now attributed
and actionable (PMPC research).

- MdmRebootPolicyTracker (+host): watches DeviceManagement-Enterprise-
  Diagnostics-Provider/Admin EventID 2800, emits one mdm_policy_reboot_required
  per reboot-forcing URI (Warning, ImmediateUpload; tolerant EventData-first
  URI extraction with regex fallback; fail-soft OMADM RebootRequired probe).
  Cross-restart RecordId watermark (mdm-reboot-watermark.json) - mandatory,
  the coalesced reboot restarts the agent and the backfill re-reads the log.
- ShellCoreTracker: RebootCoalescing branch on the already-watched 62407
  stream -> esp_reboot_coalescing corroboration event; deliberate deviation:
  emits on backfill too (live emit races the reboot kill).
- ANALYZE-ESP-005 advisory (warning): names the first URI via {{rebootUri}},
  remediation = reassign profiles device -> user groups; +20 confidence on
  coalescing corroboration, +10 on >=2 URIs.
- Config: Collectors.MdmRebootPolicyWatcherEnabled (default ON, internal
  steering only - agent-native collector, NOT an IAgentAnalyzer, no admin UI),
  MdmRebootPolicyBackfillLookbackMinutes=60; ConfigVersion 35.
- Event types deliberately distinct from system_reboot_detected so the
  backend RebootCount (exact-string match, 2 sites) stays uninflated.
- Docs: docs/agent/mdm-reboot-coalescing.md (+index/log). Exact 2800/62407
  message texts are unverified until E2E VM validation (tolerant matching).

Tests: Agent.V2.Core 1868/1868 (21 new), Functions 3099/3099, MCP 400 passed
(event-types drift), solution build 0 errors.

+
+# Problem
+
+The agent's API base URL is compiled into the binary (`Constants.ApiBaseUrl`). No DNS/domain
+indirection is possible in front of the API: mTLS client-cert auth does not survive a reverse
+proxy (Front Door), and Flex Consumption custom-domain TLS is broken. A backend move (like the
+2026-07-18 WEU→GWC subscription migration) therefore hard-cuts every deployed agent still
+pointing at the old hostname. In-flight agents self-terminate safely (local MaxLifetime watchdog
++ CleanupService), but their sessions are lost and a per-tenant region move (EU→US) has no
+mechanism at all.
+
+# Mechanism
+
+`AgentConfigResponse.MigrateToApiBaseUrl` — served on `GET /api/agent/config` (incl. the
+bootstrap wrapper), the same control channel as the kill switch, fetched at every agent
+process start.
+
+Agent flow (`Program.RunAgent`, Phase 4):
+
+1. Config fetched from the compiled-in (old) base URL.
+2. Kill-switch check runs FIRST — **kill wins over migrate**.
+3. `AgentRuntimeConfig.Resolve` detects the migration signal directly after the fetch and
+   returns early, BEFORE merge / binary-integrity / bootstrap-cleanup — none of those side
+   effects may run against a config from the backend being abandoned (a migration stub may
+   advertise stale agent hashes; a spurious `IntegrityCheckFailed` + force-update would be
+   harmful).
+4. `Program.RunAgent` swaps `AgentConfiguration.ApiBaseUrl`, disposes the old client stack,
+   rebuilds Phase 3 (auth clients) and re-runs Phase 4 against the new URL —
+   `allowEndpointMigration: false`, so the new backend's config **cannot chain a second hop**.
+5. Kill-switch check runs again on the NEW backend's config; startup continues normally
+   (Phase 5+ builds mTLS/telemetry clients from the updated base URL).
+
+# Hardening (mirrors the kill switch)
+
+* **Live fetch only** — the on-disk config cache strips `MigrateToApiBaseUrl` on write AND
+  read (`RemoteConfigService.CacheConfig` / `LoadCachedConfig`); `EndpointMigration.ResolveTarget`
+  re-checks `LastFetchOutcome == Succeeded` as defence-in-depth. A planted cache file can
+  never re-home an agent.
+* **Allowlist validated on BOTH sides** — `AgentEndpointMigrationRules` (Shared, single
+  source): https only, host must end in `.azurewebsites.net` on a label boundary, no
+  path/query/userinfo/port. The backend refuses to serve an invalid admin value
+  (`AgentMigrateRejected` warning); the agent refuses to honour one even if the backend was
+  compromised.
+* **One hop, no loops** — second Resolve pass never migrates; a target equal to the current
+  base URL is a no-op (steady state during the migration window).
+
+# Operation
+
+Global admin settings (`AdminConfiguration`, admin portal → Global Settings):
+
+* `AgentMigrateApiBaseUrl` — global target, set on the backend being **abandoned**; clear it
+  after the migration window.
+* `AgentMigrateTenantOverridesJson` — JSON object `tenantId → URL` for per-tenant moves.
+  An entry with an **empty string** pins that tenant against the global target (staged rollout).
+  Overrides win over the global value.
+
+Delivery evidence: every served target logs `AgentMigrateServed` (Warning — reaches App
+Insights) with tenant, serial, agent version and target. Agent-side, the re-home is logged as
+`Endpoint migration: backend re-homed this agent from … to …`.
+
+Reach limitation: agents that cannot complete an authenticated config fetch (e.g. cert-broken
+devices) never see the signal — they fall back to the local MaxLifetime/emergency-break
+lifecycle. During a migration window the old backend must keep running as a serving stub;
+keeping the old `*.azurewebsites.net` name parked afterwards also prevents hostname
+re-registration by third parties while stragglers drain.

+# MDM Reboot Coalescing
+
+Device-assigned MDM policies whose CSP URIs match the OS reboot-required catalog
+(`HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Provisioning\SyncML\RebootRequiredURIs`) force a **coalesced
+reboot at the end of ESP DeviceSetup** — the user sees an unexpected restart and a
+**second sign-in screen** before AccountSetup. This is expected OS behavior, invisible in
+the Intune console; most admins simply live with it, not knowing that reassigning the
+profiles to user groups removes the reboot entirely. Source research: Patch My PC,
+["Avoid the second sign-in screen after Autopilot"](https://patchmypc.com/blog/autopilot-unexpected-reboot-autopilot-second-login-screen/).
+
+The session already counts reboots (`system_reboot_detected` → `session.rebootCount`);
+this feature adds the **cause attribution**.
+
+# Signal chain
+
+1. **EventID 2800**, `Microsoft-Windows-DeviceManagement-Enterprise-Diagnostics-Provider/Admin`
+   — logged by the SyncML engine once per policy URI that matched the reboot-required
+   catalog, during device-policy application in DeviceSetup.
+2. **EventID 62407**, `Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Core/Operational`, description containing
+   `RebootCoalescing` — ESP/CloudExperienceHost initiating the coalesced reboot at the end
+   of DeviceSetup.
+3. The reboot kills the agent; the post-reboot restart re-observes both channels via
+   backfill (the .evtx persists across the reboot).
+
+# Detectors
+
+## `MdmRebootPolicyTracker` (new collector, `MdmRebootPolicyWatcherHost`)
+
+Structural clone of `WindowsUpdateTracker`: live `EventLogWatcher` on the DM-Enterprise
+Admin channel (EventID 2800) + startup backfill (default 60 min lookback) + **cross-restart
+RecordId watermark** (`mdm-reboot-watermark.json`). The watermark is mandatory here: the
+coalesced reboot restarts the agent, and without it every reboot-forcing URI would be
+re-emitted after the very reboot it caused.
+
+Per 2800 record it emits one `mdm_policy_reboot_required` event (Warning,
+`ImmediateUpload=true` — the announced reboot will kill the agent, flush now) with
+`Data.rebootUri` (the CSP URI), `recordId`, `backfilled`, `description` (truncated 1000),
+and a fail-soft `omadmRebootRequiredFlag` corroboration probe of
+`HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Provisioning\OMADM\SyncML\RebootRequired` (null = unknown, never
+blocks the emit). Per-URI emission (not aggregated) is deliberate: an aggregate would need
+a flush point that races the reboot kill.
+
+**Tolerant matching**: the exact 2800 message text is unverified — emission is gated on
+the EventID only. URI extraction prefers structured EventData values starting with `./`
+and falls back to a permissive regex over the description (trailing punctuation trimmed).
+Events with an unparseable URI are still emitted (timeline-visible, rule stays silent, and
+the captured description tells us how to fix the extraction). Exact texts are validated
+post-deploy on the E2E VM and recorded here.
+
+Config (internal steering only, no admin UI — this is an agent-native collector, NOT an
+`IAgentAnalyzer`): `Collectors.MdmRebootPolicyWatcherEnabled` (default true),
+`Collectors.MdmRebootPolicyBackfillLookbackMinutes` (default 60). ConfigVersion 35.
+
+## `ShellCoreTracker` — `RebootCoalescing` branch
+
+The already-watched 62407 stream gets a fourth branch (checked AFTER
+WhiteGlove/failure/exiting so their semantics stay untouched): description containing
+`RebootCoalescing` → one `esp_reboot_coalescing` event (Warning, ImmediateUpload), pure
+informational — no `FinalizingSetup` transition, no C# event raise, no DecisionCore
+involvement.
+
+**Deliberate deviation**: unlike the other 62407 branches, the backfill path DOES emit
+this event. The live emit races the very reboot that kills the process; the post-restart
+5-min backfill re-emission is the only reliable delivery. A live+backfill cross-process
+duplicate is possible and accepted (fire-once bool resets per process; both copies carry
+the identical historical timestamp; the backfill copy is marked `backfilled:true`; the
+analyze rule uses exists-semantics). The shared 5-min lookback is NOT enlarged — the
+rule's required condition is the watermarked 2800 event; coalescing is optional
+corroboration only.
+
+# Advisory — ANALYZE-ESP-005
+
+"MDM Policy Forced a Mid-ESP Reboot (Second Sign-In)", severity `warning`,
+`markSessionAsFailedDefault: false`. Required: `mdm_policy_reboot_required.rebootUri`
+exists (first URI interpolates as `{{rebootUri}}`). Optional corroboration:
+`esp_reboot_coalescing` observed (+20 confidence) and ≥2 reboot URIs (+10) on base 70 /
+threshold 70. Remediation: map each URI to its Intune profile and reassign device → user
+groups (or exclude the Autopilot device group), or accept + communicate the restart.
+Because `{{token}}` interpolation is scalar-only, the explanation points at the timeline
+for the complete URI list — each URI is its own event.
+
+# Non-goals / invariants
+
+* The new event types are **deliberately distinct from `system_reboot_detected`** — the
+  backend RebootCount matches that string exactly in two places
+  (`EventIngestProcessor.Classification` + the terminal recount); attribution events must
+  never inflate the reboot count.
+* No session-level field / SessionInfoCard change in this iteration (follow-up candidate).
+* The `RebootRequiredURIs` catalog itself is not read (format unverified); only the 2800
+  events (which carry the actually-triggered URIs) are consumed.

+
+# Problem
+
+Azure Table Storage's `Timestamp` is a **system property**: the server ignores any supplied
+value on write and stamps the row's *write* time; every row rewrite (storage-account
+migration, MERGE) resets it. Three tables nevertheless treated it as the business event
+time — writes like `["Timestamp"] = evt.Timestamp` were silent no-ops, unnoticed because
+write time ≈ event time in normal operation.
+
+The 2026-07-18 EU storage migration rewrote every row, so all migrated rows in
+**AuditLogs**, **OpsEvents**, and **Events** read as "2026-07-18 ~13:58 UTC": displays were
+wrong, date-window filters matched the wrong rows, and retention froze (nothing older than
+the migration moment) with a mass-delete cliff one retention period later.
+
+# Rule
+
+**The system Timestamp is never authoritative.** Every table that needs an event time
+stores it in the custom column `OccurredUtc` (`BusinessTimestamp.OccurredUtcColumn`).
+Custom columns are copied verbatim by `scripts/Migration/Copy-TableStorage.ps1`, so future
+migrations preserve chronology. Migration checklist: any table whose reads/filters depend
+on a timestamp must carry it as a custom column — audit this before every storage move.
+
+# Recovery sources per table
+
+The original time survives migrations inside the RowKey:
+
+| Table | RowKey scheme | Decodable |
+|---|---|---|
+| AuditLogs | `!{MaxTicks-ticks:D19}_{guid:N}` (since 2026-05-06) | Yes; legacy bare-GUID rows (pre-2026-05) are lost |
+| OpsEvents | `{MaxTicks-ticks:D19}` | Yes, all rows |
+| Events | `{ts:yyyyMMddHHmmssfff}_{seq:D10}` (sanitized agent time) | Yes, all rows (ms precision) |
+
+# Mechanism
+
+`BusinessTimestamp` (Functions/Helpers) is the single source of truth: RowKey decoders,
+the OData clause builders, and `GetUtcDateTime` (datetime columns materialize as
+`DateTimeOffset` *or* `DateTime` depending on payload shape — always read via this helper).
+
+1. **Read mappers** resolve `OccurredUtc` → RowKey decode → system Timestamp (last
+   resort; only audit legacy GUID rows end there). Resolvers:
+   `TableStorageService.ResolveAuditTimestamp`, `TableOpsEventRepository.ResolveTimestamp`,
+   `TableStorageService.ResolveEventTimestamp` (also used by
+   `GetEarliestSessionEventTimestampAsync`, which feeds StartedAt/Duration reconciliation —
+   a system-Timestamp read there would rewrite migrated sessions' derived fields).
+2. **Date-window filters and retention use RowKey ranges**, not property comparisons:
+   OData excludes rows missing a compared property (an `OccurredUtc` filter would drop
+   every not-yet-backfilled row), and RowKey ranges are index-backed. Boundary semantics
+   are tick-exact equivalents of the old `Timestamp ge/le` clauses.
+   **Trap:** audit legacy GUID RowKeys (hex first char) sort *after* all `!`-rows, so
+   every lower bound `RowKey ge '!…'` must be paired with `RowKey lt '"'`
+   (`AuditTimeEncodedUpperBound`) — without the guard, a retention sweep would delete all
+   legacy rows. Pinned by `BusinessTimestampFilterClauseTests`.
+3. **Writes** in all three tables now set `OccurredUtc`; the no-op `["Timestamp"]`
+   entries were removed.
+4. **Backfill** (`POST /api/maintenance/backfill-occurred-utc`, GlobalAdminOnly, dry-run
+   by default, `table=audit|ops`, batched via `maxRows`/`continuation`): MERGE that adds
+   only `OccurredUtc` decoded from the RowKey — deterministic and idempotent. **Events
+   rows are deliberately never backfilled** (read-path decode is sufficient; no bulk
+   mutation of enrollment evidence). Note: a MERGE resets the row's system Timestamp —
+   irrelevant once nothing depends on it.
+5. **Audit retention** runs two passes until ~2027-01: RowKey-range for `!`-rows plus a
+   `RowKey ge '0' and Timestamp lt …` pass that ages legacy GUID rows out via their frozen
+   migration-date system Timestamp (remove after 2027-03-01).
+
+# Consequences
+
+* Audit legacy GUID rows have "unknown date" semantics: excluded from date-filtered
+  views, shown with the (wrong but honest) 2026-07-18 fallback in unfiltered views.
+* Raw endpoints (`/api/raw/*`, `query_table`) intentionally keep showing the raw system
+  Timestamp — they are storage-state inspectors, not business views.
+* Event timestamps for pre-cutover rows resolve to the RowKey's sanitized agent time
+  (ms precision); `ReceivedAt` (server ingest time, rows since 2026-03-19) and
+  `OriginalTimestamp` (pre-clamp agent time, clamped rows only) remain separate fields.

 # Log
 
+## 2026-07-20
+
+* **Creation**: Added `agent/mdm-reboot-coalescing.md` — the agent now attributes the "unexpected mid-ESP reboot + second sign-in" pattern (PMPC research) to the device-assigned policy URIs that forced it: new `MdmRebootPolicyTracker` (DM-Enterprise EventID 2800, per-URI `mdm_policy_reboot_required` events, cross-restart RecordId watermark), a `RebootCoalescing` branch in `ShellCoreTracker` (`esp_reboot_coalescing`, backfill-emitting by design), and the `ANALYZE-ESP-005` advisory (reassign device → user groups). ConfigVersion 35; event types deliberately distinct from `system_reboot_detected` so RebootCount stays uninflated.
+
+* **Creation**: Added `backend/business-timestamps.md` (new `backend/` section) — the 2026-07-18 migration reset every row's system Timestamp, exposing that AuditLogs/OpsEvents/Events had (unknowingly) displayed and filtered on it all along; documents the `OccurredUtc` column, the RowKey decoders and RowKey-range date/retention clauses in `BusinessTimestamp`, the GUID-guard trap, the audit/ops backfill endpoint, and the "system Timestamp is never authoritative" migration rule.
+* **Creation**: Added `rules/gather-rule-phase-scoping.md` (new `rules/` section) — gather rules gain `activePhases` (run only during listed phases), `activeFromPhase` (sticky latch from a phase onwards, never via Failed) and `emitMode: "on_change"` (canonical-hash result dedup with `suppressedPolls` observability), ConfigVersion 34. Includes the prerequisite backend fix: the custom-rule toggle PUT no longer wipes the stored rule definition (partial-merge in `GatherRuleService.UpdateRuleAsync`).
+
+## 2026-07-18
+
+* **Creation**: Added `agent/endpoint-migration.md` — config-channel agent re-home (`MigrateToApiBaseUrl` on `GET agent/config`, ConfigVersion 33): backend or per-tenant API-URL moves without DNS indirection (impossible due to mTLS/Flex-TLS). Live-fetch-only with cache strip, `AgentEndpointMigrationRules` allowlist validated on both sides, one hop, kill-switch wins. Built as the lesson from the 2026-07-18 WEU→GWC cutover, which hard-cut all in-flight agents.
+
 ## 2026-07-17
 
 * **Creation**: Added `agent/build-counter-blob.md` — agent build numbers now come from a shared public counter blob (`buildcounter-v{N}.txt`, reserve-before-build with ETag-CAS) so local `build.ps1` and CI `build-agent.yml` builds can never mint the same number. Documents the CI parity fixes (SummaryDialog.exe.config in the ZIP, EXE-vs-manifest version check, hash-oracle update gated on stable cutover) and the Sigstore provenance attestation on CI-built ZIPs.

+title: Gather Rule Phase Scoping & Emit-on-Change
+description: How gather rules are restricted to enrollment phases (activePhases / activeFromPhase) and how emitMode "on_change" suppresses repeated identical results — the anti-spam pair for interval rules.

+
+# Problem
+
+Interval gather rules (e.g. a registry poll every 60 s) ran during **all** enrollment phases
+and emitted an event on **every** tick — including `exists=false` events while the target key
+did not exist yet. A rule needed only from Account Setup onwards produced hundreds of
+identical noise events per session and wasted collector runs.
+
+# Schema
+
+Three opt-in fields on `GatherRule` (Shared model, `rules/schema/gather-rule.schema.json`,
+delivered to the agent via `GET agent/config`; ConfigVersion 34). Absent fields = legacy
+behavior — full back-compat.
+
+| Field | Type | Semantics |
+|---|---|---|
+| `activePhases` | `string[]` \| null | Rule runs only while the current phase is in the list. Null/empty = unrestricted. |
+| `activeFromPhase` | `string` \| null | Sticky latch: activates when the phase first reaches the threshold, then stays active for the rest of the session — including through `Failed`. Null = unrestricted. |
+| `emitMode` | `"always"` \| `"on_change"` \| null | `on_change`: poll on the trigger cadence, emit only when the collected result changes. Null/`always` = emit every collection (legacy). |
+
+Canonical phase tokens are the `EnrollmentPhase` enum **names** `Start`(0) …`Complete`(7).
+Backend validation (`GatherRulesFunction.ValidateScopeAndEmitMode`) rejects `Unknown`/`Failed`,
+numeric tokens, unknown emit modes, and both scope fields set at once (400). The agent
+defensively prefers `activePhases` if both arrive anyway.
+
+# Scope semantics (agent, `GatherRuleExecutor`)
+
+* Scope applies to **all trigger types**:
+  * `interval` — timers keep running; an out-of-scope tick is a free early-return (no
+    start/stop lifecycle races on phase transitions).
+  * `startup` — a scoped startup rule not yet in scope at `UpdateRules` is **deferred**: it
+    runs exactly once from `OnPhaseChanged` when its scope activates (same
+    `_startupRulesExecuted` dedup; it is not part of the `WaitForStartupRules` latch).
+  * `phase_change` — evaluated against the **new** phase; the scope gate runs before the
+    per-(rule, phase) dedup so an out-of-scope pass does not consume the execution slot.
+  * `on_event` — gated by the current phase.
+* **Before the first phase signal** of a session (`_currentPhase == Unknown`) scoped rules are
+  inactive. Sessions that never produce phase signals never run them (documented behavior).
+* **From-phase latch**: activates when `phase != Unknown && phase != Failed && (int)phase >=
+  (int)fromPhase`. `Failed=99` would ordinal-satisfy every threshold, hence the explicit
+  exclusion — but once latched, a rule stays active through `Failed`. A config refresh that
+  delivers a from-phase rule after its threshold passed latches it immediately.
+* `--run-gather-rules` (diagnostic CLI) sets `IgnorePhaseScope = true` — no phase context
+  exists there, scoped rules execute unconditionally (log line marks the bypass).
+
+# Emit-on-change semantics
+
+* The collector result dict is canonically hashed (keys ordinal-sorted at every nesting
+  level, invariant value formatting, SHA-256) **before** `ruleId`/`ruleTitle` injection.
+* First in-scope non-empty result always emits — on an absent registry key that first
+  `exists=false` event *is* the visible "we're polling now" indicator.
+* Unchanged results increment a per-rule suppression counter; the next emitted event carries
+  `suppressedPolls` + `suppressedSinceUtc` in its `Data` so the gap is observable.
+* Composition with `emitOnlyIfExists=true` (collector-level): a miss returns an empty dict —
+  no emit AND no hash update. Result: zero noise while absent, one event on appearance, then
+  only on change.
+* State is in-memory and survives `UpdateRules` config refreshes; an agent restart causes at
+  most one re-emit per rule (acceptable under the per-enrollment lifecycle).
+* Volatile collectors (eventlog timestamps, logparser positions) degrade `on_change` to
+  `always` — every poll hashes differently. The option stays visible for them since some
+  outputs are stable; this is documented, not hidden.
+
+# Portal & delivery
+
+* Create form defaults new rules to `emitMode: "on_change"`; existing rules load as
+  `always`. The scope UI is a three-way mode (always / during phases / from phase) backed by
+  a canonical `GATHER_PHASES` list — the same list replaced the free-text `triggerPhase`
+  input, whose placeholder used to suggest invalid tokens.
+* The custom-rule toggle PUT (`{enabled, isBuiltIn, isCommunity}`) previously full-replaced
+  the stored rule and wiped Title/Target/Trigger — `GatherRuleService.UpdateRuleAsync` now
+  merges toggle-style partials (empty Title/CollectorType/Target) into the existing row and
+  preserves `CreatedAt` on full edits. This fix is a prerequisite: without it every toggle
+  would silently clear the new fields.
+* Old agents (Newtonsoft) ignore unknown config properties: scoped rules run everywhere,
+  `emitMode` is ignored — graceful degradation until the fleet rolls forward.
+* `ContentEquivalent` treats null and empty `activePhases` as equal, so pre-existing DB rows
+  (absent columns → null) never diff against seeds — no reseed churn.
