Root cause (edu.kosh audit 2026-08-24, session ba828038): on boot-time relaunches
the agent starts before the Wi-Fi link is up. The Phase 4 config fetch had no
network gate (98f8114d only guarded Phase 6 registration), burned its 10/30/60s
retry budget into a dead link and stranded the whole session on built-in defaults
(ConfigVersion=0) — up to ~50% of that tenant's sessions, with no self-heal short
of a manual rotate_config action. Not a version regression: rates varied wildly
per day within the same agent build; the failed requests never reached the backend.
Two complementary layers:
- RemoteConfigService gates the initial fetch on the shared NetworkLinkWait poll
(60s cap — longer than registration's 15s because the fetch runs first), so the
retry budget starts on a live link. rotate_config stays ungated (latency-bound).
- Phase 6.5: after registration proves the backend reachable, TryRecoverConfigAsync
refetches once and AgentRuntimeConfig.TryRecoverAfterRegistration re-applies the
live config (same merge/integrity pipeline as Phase 4). LastFetch* keeps the
original failure record; remote_config_fetch_failed reports it with a recovered
flag at Info severity, agent_started flags remoteConfigRecovered.
Deliberately not re-run in recovery: kill-signal check (telemetry-channel control
signals cover post-registration kills) and endpoint migration (next start).
