Oliver Kieselbach a654c7309e 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.

Autopilot Monitor — Technical Knowledge Bundle

Contributor-facing technical documentation for Autopilot Monitor, organized as an Open Knowledge Format (OKF) knowledge bundle. Customer-facing product documentation lives at https://docs.autopilotmonitor.com (separate repository).

Architecture

  • Architecture Guide - High-level architecture overview and solution layout for contributors.

Agent

  • V2 Agent - How the on-device agent works: runtime overview, decision engine (reducer, signals, completion arms), logs & persistence (signal log, snapshot, crash recovery), Hello wizard un-skip (why a single "WHfB disabled" read never decides completion), Autopilot ZTD diagnostics (event IDs, diagnostic registry, endpoints, error-code map).
  • Build Counter Blob - How agent build numbers are minted: shared counter blob with ETag-CAS so local and CI builds never collide; CI additionally attests build provenance (Sigstore).
  • Agent Endpoint Migration - How the backend re-homes agents to a new API base URL via the config channel (backend move or per-tenant region move): live-fetch-only, allowlist-validated on both sides, one hop, kill wins.
  • MDM Reboot Coalescing - Attributing the mid-ESP coalesced reboot ("second sign-in") to the device-assigned policy URIs that forced it: DM-Enterprise 2800 watcher with cross-restart watermark, Shell-Core RebootCoalescing corroboration, ANALYZE-ESP-005 advisory.

Rules

  • Gather Rule Phase Scoping & Emit-on-Change - Restricting gather rules to enrollment phases (activePhases / activeFromPhase sticky latch) and emitMode "on_change" result-dedup — the anti-spam pair for interval rules.

Backend

  • Business Timestamps - Why the Azure Tables system Timestamp is never authoritative (migrations reset it), and the OccurredUtc + RowKey-decode compensation for AuditLogs/OpsEvents/Events after the 2026-07-18 migration.

Security & Identity

  • MCP OAuth Flow - Who authenticates where when connecting an AI client to the MCP server; two identities, three parties plus Entra ID.

Conventions for this bundle

  • Every concept document is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter; type is mandatory, title, description, resource, tags, and timestamp are recommended.
  • Use standard relative markdown links between documents (e.g. agent/overview.md, ../architecture.md). Do NOT use the spec's /-prefixed bundle-absolute form — GitHub resolves those against the repo root (missing /docs) and navigation breaks.
  • Record notable additions and changes in log.md.
  • index.md and log.md are reserved names — never use them for concept documents.
