* feat: recover instances automatically from a node that stopped heartbeating

A node that dies hard takes its guests with it, and nothing brings them back
until an operator brings that node back. Every daemon now runs the same small
reconciler: it reads the instance records, selects desired-running instances
whose owner is stale, and relaunches them here.

The claim is a CAS on Status.LastNode and that is the whole of the
coordination. Several survivors race one instance, exactly one revision wins,
and the losers find a record naming a live owner and stop considering it. A
claimant that dies mid-launch leaves the record naming a node that is itself
stale, which is the same candidate the next pass derives again, so there is no
lease to expire and nothing to reconcile by hand.

Ownership is not permission to write. The volume leases still decide whether the
guest can move, and VolumeMounter.Mount runs before startQEMU, so an attempt
that loses the volume race has touched no tap, no OVS port and no OVN binding.

A storage failure is not a host failure and wants the opposite response. A guest
paused by werror=stop publishes Health.IOErrorSince, and a record carrying it is
refused: the volumes are the same objects in the same store from anywhere, so
relaunching moves the pause rather than ending it. A node whose own object store
is not answering stands down entirely, which separates a store broken here from
a store broken everywhere without either having to be diagnosed. A launch that
does not complete backs this node off that instance, doubling to a cap, because
nothing on the mount path can yet say which of the two it hit.

Recovery is off by default and inert below three nodes. It also waits until it
has seen its peers live, or five minutes, so the first node back from a
coordinated shutdown does not recover guests from nodes that are still booting.

* test: prove instance recovery moves a host failure and refuses a storage failure

The e2e half of automatic instance recovery, asserted from both sides because a reconciler that cannot tell the two failures apart passes one and fails the other. InstanceAutoRecovery takes a node down and requires the guest back on exactly one survivor, identified by the qemu process rather than by what the API reports. InstanceRecoveryRefusesStorageFault stops predastore cluster-wide first, so the guest is paused by werror=stop when its node goes away, and requires that nothing moves.

Also fixes the settle window, which re-evaluated every pass and so held a daemon back for its first five minutes over exactly the failure the reconciler exists to handle. It now latches once every peer has been seen live.

harness.InstanceHostingNodes replaces the single-node lookup so a caller can assert there is exactly one host rather than assume it, and skip a node it has deliberately taken down.

* fix: make automatic instance recovery a cluster-wide setting

Recovery was read from the per-node Config, so it had to be written three times on a three-node cluster, once inside each [nodes.<name>] table. A top-level [recovery] table — the obvious thing to write, and what the e2e suite writes — was parsed into nothing and the daemon reported recovery disabled on every node with the setting plainly in the file.

Cluster-wide is also the honest shape. A node with recovery off is not opting out of anything: recovery is what survivors do to a dead node's instances, so the setting belongs where there is one of it.

* test: drive real I/O into the storage-fault case, and freeze the store rather than stop it

Measured on a three-node cluster: predastore stopped cluster-wide for twelve minutes against idle guests paused none of them. Viperblock serves what it has cached and an idle guest issues nothing that reaches the object store, so the test asserted that nothing moved in a run where nothing was ever faulted.

The victim now launches with cloud-init user-data that writes to its root volume continuously. User-data rather than SSH because a routed-NAT cell gives guests no public address, so a test that had to log in could not run on half of them.

The fault is SIGSTOP rather than a unit stop, for the reason the storagefault suite already gives: a frozen process holds its connections open and answers nothing. Under that fault and that load the first BLOCK_IO_ERROR arrived 4m47s later, so the pause budget is now ten minutes rather than three.

* test: give instance recovery its own suite and its own nightly cell

Both tests take a node away and one of them freezes predastore cluster-wide, so anything sharing the environment reports that outage as its own failure — the same argument storagefault already makes for being its own package. They are also slow by nature: a dead owner has to be seen stale twice, a guest has to boot, and the storage case waits for a pause measured at 4m47s and then holds four minutes to prove nothing moved. Roughly twenty minutes on top of a permutation cell budgeted at thirty-five.

Cell 31 is three-node and static, matching storagefault's, with a 75-minute job budget over a 60-minute suite timeout. The suite is eligible on multi-node environments and deliberately not in the nightly permutation set.

* fix: give a guest long enough to open a volume the object store is slow to serve

QEMU opens every drive before its monitor answers a greeting, so the QMP
greeting deadline is really a deadline on opening the guest's volumes. At 30s
it was shorter than a cold viperblock open costs on a cluster that has lost a
node, where every object read is served degraded: measured at 35s with one node
of three away. The launch killed the guest five seconds short of ready and then
did it again on every retry, which is a recovery that can never complete.

A network-backed drive now gets its own deadline for the same reason VFIO
already had one — synchronous work before the monitor answers — and the
instancerecovery suite is what found it.

Also make the suite's predastore thaw best effort per node. It runs after a
node has been taken away, where there is no process to signal, and a node it
cannot reach must not stop it restoring the rest.

* docs: name the two newest cells in the dispatch input

The cells input is the operator's index of what a number means, and it stopped
at 29 while 30 and 31 were added.

* test: prove the guest is writing before freezing the store in the recovery suite

The storage-fault test froze the object store as soon as RunInstances reported
running, which is when QEMU has launched rather than when the guest has booted.
On the nightly cluster the freeze landed while the guest was still in UEFI, so
the only drive it could reach was the EFI varstore — and pflash has no
werror=stop to pause on, so the guest never paused and the test reported a
product failure it had caused itself.

The load driver now prints to the serial console after each pass it has written
and synced, and the test waits for that before freezing. The console is read
through GetConsoleOutput, so this still needs no login and still runs on cells
whose guests have no public address.

* feat: recover instances automatically with nothing to configure

The switch is gone. An instance whose host has failed is down whether or
not recovery is enabled, so the only outcome a disabled reconciler can
produce is leaving it down — which is the state recovery exists to end,
not a safer one to fall back to.

Against that, the switch cost a cluster that can be configured into
never recovering anything, with no symptom until a node dies. This
feature already hit that once: a top-level table parsed into nothing and
every node reported recovery off with the setting plainly in the file.

What makes recovery inert is now only facts about the cluster — no
cluster config, no JetStream, or fewer than three nodes — and each says
in the log which one applied. The e2e no longer writes config or
restarts daemons: it waits for every node to report the reconciler
active on a cluster nothing configured, so reintroducing a switch fails
there as well as in the unit tests.

* feat: stop retrying a recovery that is never going to work

Every failed attempt used to go to the same exponential backoff and stay
there. An instance nothing could launch was retried every fifteen
minutes forever, still observed-running on a node that is gone, with no
account of it anywhere the customer or an operator would look.

A failure is now classified and counted. Two classes are read from what
the launch actually reports: the node it was taken from still holds a
volume lease, which clears on that lease's clock and is retried on a
faster one, and this node has no room, which another survivor may. There
is no terminal class, because nothing on this path can prove one — the
launch collapses everything else into ServerInternal, so a verdict of
"never going to work" would be a guess, and the guess that abandons a
recoverable instance is the expensive one.

The budget bounds the unknown case instead. Every class counts against
it, since a class that did not would be the old unbounded retry under a
narrower condition. Exhausting it leaves the instance where AWS leaves
one whose host failed and could not be brought back: stopped, carrying a
StateReason that names the cause and the last error, one StartInstances
from running again. Writing the desired state down is also what makes
one node's decision cluster-wide, because selection reads desired state
— the same property the claim already has.

A record another node has since claimed is never touched, so a node
exhausting its attempts cannot stop a guest that is now running
elsewhere.

* fix: give a guest the time for every cost it pays before its monitor answers

A GPU instance booting from a network-backed root volume pays both
costs: QEMU opens every drive across the object store and then pins the
whole of guest RAM, one after the other, all before the monitor answers.
The deadline took whichever was larger, so such a guest was given less
time than it needs.

That the two floors are both 180s is why nothing has been seen yet — the
VFIO branch has always returned at least the network-drive deadline. It
is the same defect either way, and the symptom when it lands is a GPU
instance SIGKILLed on every attempt while its plain sibling launches,
which reads as a GPU fault rather than as a deadline.

The costs are now added, the plain QEMU startup is counted once rather
than replaced, and the cap covers both floors together so it cannot clip
a guest before either cost has been waited out.

* test: assert the AWS-visible arc of a host failure end to end

A customer cannot see which host an instance is on, and AWS never tells
them. What they can see is DescribeInstanceStatus, so that is where a
recovery has to be provable, and the suite never looked at it.

Three frames are now required, in order: running with system-status ok
before anything is broken, system-status impaired while the owning node
is gone, and ok again once a survivor is running it. The middle frame is
the one worth having — the window opens when the owner's heartbeat goes
stale, which is strictly before any survivor may claim, and closes when
the relaunch registers, so it is bounded rather than lucky. Reporting ok
throughout would be the more comfortable lie.

The availability zone is compared across the first and last frames as
well. A recovery that crossed one would break every placement promise
made to the customer, and nothing else in the suite would have noticed.

* test: prove a half-healthy node fences itself and is never a second writer

The two existing recovery cases take a node away by stopping its services,
which is the failure this feature handles least interestingly: a node that is
gone has no opinion about who owns its volumes. The one that matters is the node
that is still up, still running QEMU, still answering its own local clients, and
simply cannot reach consensus. That is the state in which two nodes can each
believe they own a volume, and the only thing between that and a corrupted disk
is that the partitioned node gives up first, on a clock it can evaluate without
reaching anything.

So this drops NATS on 4222 and 4248 between one node and its peers and nothing
else, then asserts the ordering the safety argument rests on rather than the
outcome it produces. A watch samples every node every three seconds for the
whole run, including the heal, and fails on any single sample naming two hosts.
Two guests writing one volume through one object store is data loss already
under way, not a race that resolves, and no point-in-time assertion can see one
that appeared between its own samples.

The injector takes its own nft table rather than touching inet spinifex_filter,
because a test that flushed the node's real firewall would leave it either
unfirewalled or misfirewalled with no sign of which, and a separate table at
priority -300 heals in one atomic delete. A transient systemd timer removes it
independently, so a cancelled workflow does not leave a node cut off from its
cluster until somebody notices. It proves SSH still works and proves a peer port
is genuinely unreachable before anything is asserted, since a rule set that
installed cleanly and dropped nothing would read as the system tolerating a
partition.

The suite budget goes to 90m and cell 31 to 105m to fit the third case.

* fix: move an instance's boot state, volumes, logical port and address with it

A record-driven launch assumes the node reading the record is the node that wrote
it. On a daemon restart that holds. On a recovery onto a survivor it does not, and
five things follow from it — one that stops a moved instance booting at all, and
four that stop it running anywhere.

A load balancer never comes back from a host failure. Its boot configuration is a
set of files under the runtime directory and the record holds their paths, so the
survivor restores paths that exist only on the node that died. The hook that
rebuilds them was reachable from Restore alone, and the cross-node path goes
straight to vmMgr.Run — so QEMU is handed a netcfg, an agent env and a CA cert
that are not there. The gateway URL baked into that env names the creating node's
management bridge as well, which the rebuild corrects because it rebuilds from
whichever node is running it. Firing the hook on both paths fixes both, and a
rebuild that fails now refuses the launch: a guest that boots without its network
configuration is worse than one that does not boot, because the records would say
it recovered.

The export outlives the guest and holds the volume lease. A returning node is
healthy, so it renews that lease indefinitely and the new owner never acquires:
the guest is stopped here and refused there, recovery spends its attempt budget on
a volume that was never going to be free, and gives up on an instance that was
never unrecoverable. So the export is given up too, over a new node-addressed
request that tears it down exactly as the fence does. Deliberately not an unmount
— an unmount seals, this node's block map is the stale one, and sealing publishes
it over the winner's. Unlike the fence it deletes the lease key rather than
leaving it to expire, because the lease is still this node's to hand back.

The tap outlives the guest, and the tap is what claims the instance's OVN logical
port. The binding names one chassis, so two nodes offering the same iface-id do
not split the traffic — they contend, and the address answers from whichever won
last. It also blocks the layer above: the external IP's host ingress is pruned on
the evidence that the owning guest sits on another chassis, and that stays false
while this node is still claiming the port.

The management address outlives the guest as a cluster-wide reservation, and the
release was unconditional. br-mgmt is one flat L2 segment, so the node an instance
left was freeing an address still in use and offering it to the next instance
anywhere. Only the node an entry names may release it now, with the takeover
recorded on arrival so the node actually running the instance can still give the
address back. An entry written before the node field existed names nobody and
stays releasable, because there is no other holder to collide with.

The fence path already cleaned up the tap, so the release fix repairs that path
too.

* test: prove a load balancer keeps its name, its address and its traffic when its host dies

Takes away the node running an internet-facing ALB and asserts the four things a
customer of one actually holds: the name keeps resolving, the address behind it
does not move, requests through the name are answered again without anybody being
called, and the backends are healthy again from the recovered load balancer's
point of view.

The backends are placed around the load balancer rather than beside it. A load
balancer lands wherever a node answers its queue group, so its node is discovered
and the backends are relaunched until both are elsewhere; one on the node about to
be taken away would be recovered too, and the run could not then tell an ALB that
came back serving from one that came back with nothing to serve.

DNS is asked of a node's own northstar over the wire, and the HTTP probes resolve
through the same server, so the claim under test is what this cluster answers for
a name rather than what the machine running the tests was configured to forward
to. A watch samples every surviving node every five seconds for the whole run,
because an answer that went missing or pointed elsewhere for one reconcile pass is
the outage, and no single sample reaches it.

The returning node then has to give up what it no longer owns: no second copy of
the guest, and no tap still claiming the load balancer's logical port, since OVN
binds a port to one chassis and a second claimant contends for it rather than
splitting the traffic. The last assertion is that the name still serves with that
node back in the cluster.

* docs: name the new cell in the nightly's cell list

* test: stop the disk-load guest from filling the console it is judged by

The load generator announced every write, once a second, for as long as the
test ran. The console is a ring buffer this suite reads back, so an hour of
that pushes out everything explaining a failure, including the kernel's own
account of the I/O error the test exists to produce. Announce twenty times,
then keep writing quietly.

* docs: say what the OCI guide has been proven on, and what a host failure does

The guide read as a support statement for OCI rather than as an account of one
tested path, promised seven steps and then gave eight, and said nothing about
what happens to a guest or its public address when the node under it fails.
State the evidence, state that the nightly guards the datapath and not the
cloud, and give the failure behaviour as a table with the reason codes a
customer will actually see.

Also say plainly what the volume lease is: one running guest and a bounded,
logged window, not a write barrier the object store enforces. Someone sizing a
workload against this should read that before they read the table.

* docs: say why the mount classifier refuses to retry a lease another node holds

It reads as an omission — a lease held elsewhere is the most transient refusal
there is. It is not. This classifier drives the restore path, where the holder
is a node that is running the guest, so retrying would relaunch against a live
owner. Recovery wants the opposite and reads the refusal itself.

* feat: claim a recovered guest's public address in line, and verify it arrived

A recovered instance was reported running before anything moved its public
address off the node that died, so for up to fifteen seconds the records said
recovered and the address answered nothing. The recovery path now runs the
affinity pass itself, which is idempotent and is the same pass the ticker runs.

Two things the pass could not do before. It abandoned every remaining address
on the first API failure, though a throttle or a denial is per-object and the
guests behind the others are just as dark. And it trusted the move's own
response, which is OCI agreeing to the request rather than OCI having done it,
so an accepted move that never landed read as success. It now re-reads what OCI
delivers here and reports the difference.

An address that will not arrive makes the guest a system-status failure with the
time it went dark, the same shape AWS uses for a host-level fault. The guest
passes every check it can be asked about itself, which is exactly why reporting
it healthy was the worst available answer.

* feat: give a recovery attempt one trace across all three of its phases

The volumes opening, QEMU starting and its monitor answering already trace
themselves, but nothing tied them to the attempt that asked for them: three
orphan traces per recovery, no way to ask which phase a slow one spent its time
in, and nothing naming the node the guest came from. A span over the attempt
makes them its children, and the reconciler's own log lines carry its trace ID
because the handler stamps it from the context.

A failed attempt records the fault and the attempt count on the span, so the
budget running out is readable as a sequence rather than as twelve unrelated
warnings.

* fix: finish a fence once its writer finally exits

A kill that did not take effect was logged, counted and dropped. The export
stayed registered and the lease stayed held, which is correct while the writer
lives and wrong forever after it dies: a lease a healthy node keeps renewing
never expires, so the volume could not start anywhere.

The failure is now re-reported every 30 s until it resolves, and the teardown
completes as soon as the writer is confirmed gone. Only a delivered kill is
waited on — a refused one says nothing about what became of the writer.

* test: stop judging a detached stop or terminate on a transient state

Both tests read the instance state immediately after the ack, but the transition
runs on its own goroutine, so the read races it in both directions: too early
sees running, too late sees the final state. The race gate caught the first of
those on a loaded runner.

* fix: replicate the volume lease and dirty buckets across the cluster

Both were created with the default single replica, so both lived on one node.
That node holds the answer to "who may write this volume" and the marker every
mount reads, and losing it takes volume leasing and mounting down cluster-wide.
A partitioned node was fenced correctly and then no survivor could relaunch its
guest: every attempt failed on "read dirty mark: no responders available", for
ten minutes, until the budget ran out.

The replica count is now the cluster's node count, as the gateway's own buckets
already do. Existing buckets are raised in place rather than requiring a wipe.

The e2e diagnostics that should have said this are fixed too. The fence and the
surrender are logged by the storage service, not the daemon, so the assertions
read the wrong journal; and Eventuallyf evaluates its message at the call site,
so a ten-minute wait was explained by a log that stopped before it began.

Josh Siviour 554c5d96c7 feat(elbv2): NLB L4 data plane on nginx stream + UI parity (#295)
* feat(elbv2): NLB L4 data plane on nginx stream (mulga-siv-952)

Network load balancers render an nginx `stream` config (TCP/UDP/TLS/
TCP_UDP) instead of HAProxy, which cannot load-balance UDP in any
release. The gateway tags GetLBConfig with Engine=nginx; the LB agent
dispatches to the nginx engine (config/pid/cert paths + reload) and
skips HAProxy stats polling. ALB stays on HAProxy. nginx is added to
the microvm image.

* docs(elbv2): note NLB runs nginx stream, ALB runs HAProxy (mulga-siv-952)

* fix(elbv2): load nginx stream module for NLB data plane

Alpine's `nginx` apk is built without the stream module — it ships
separately as `nginx-mod-stream`. Without it, the generated NLB config
fails `nginx -t` with [emerg] unknown directive "stream", so the agent
never applies it. Add the package to the microvm image and emit a
`load_module .../ngx_stream_module.so;` directive at the top of the
generated config.

* fix(elbv2-ui): allow single-subnet LB + full NLB protocols in listener edit

Create-LB form required min 2 subnets while the CLI/backend accept 1;
relax to min(1) to match. Listener add/edit only offered HTTP/HTTPS —
add the NLB protocol set (TCP, UDP, TLS, TCP_UDP), driven by LB type,
with cert/ssl-policy fields gated on secure protocols (HTTPS/TLS).

* feat(elbv2): active target health checks for nginx NLBs

nginx stream has no active upstream probing, so NLB targets never
advanced past initial — DescribeTargetHealth stayed initial forever and
WaitForTargetsHealthy timed out for every NLB. GetLBConfig now delivers
per-target HealthTarget specs (daemon-computed server name, probe
address, protocol/path) for network LBs; the lb-agent probes each target
every tick (TCP dial or HTTP/HTTPS GET) and reports UP/DOWN via the
existing heartbeat path, so the daemon's threshold hysteresis advances
targets to healthy. ALBs are unchanged (HAProxy stats).

Adds an Internal_NLB_UDP e2e suite gating on WaitForTargetsHealthy plus a
UDP datagram round-trip through the VIP.

Josh Siviour 050ac8f861 feat(e2e): Go E2E harness + single-node migration to Ensure*/Discover* + reboot suite (#241)
* feat(e2e): add Go test harness + cert scenario, port run-cert-e2e.sh

Lands step 1 of docs/development/improvements/e2e-go-harness.md:
shared harness primitives (env, wait, artifacts, cert, tls) plus the
TestCertIssuance scenario that supersedes run-cert-e2e.sh. All files
gated by //go:build e2e so default builds and `make preflight` are
unaffected. Bash script stays in place for one CI cycle before deletion.

* feat(e2e): port run-lb-e2e.sh to TestLoadBalancer Go scenario

Step 3 of docs/development/improvements/e2e-go-harness.md. Replaces 1246
lines of bash with a typed Go scenario exercising all 4 LB variants
(ALB/NLB × internet-facing/internal) against a shared VPC + app instance
pool. Internet-facing phase auto-skips when no peer node is configured;
internal phase always runs.

Adds shared harness primitives:
- harness/aws.go: AWS SDK client factory wired to Spinifex AWS gateway
- harness/lb.go: WaitForLBActive, WaitForTargetsHealthy, WaitForENICleanup,
  WaitForInstanceRunning/Terminated, InstanceENI
- harness/traffic.go: HTTPRoundRobin, TCPRoundRobin, distribution asserts
- harness/ssh.go: minimal peer SSH wrapper shelling out to /usr/bin/ssh
  (replaced by typed x/crypto/ssh client hoisted from DDIL in mulga-siv-74)

User-data scripts embedded via //go:embed under lb/testdata/.

Bash script stays in place for one CI cycle before deletion.

* fix(e2e): log client launch params + dump daemon log on InvalidInstanceType

Adds diagnostics for the LB internal client launch path. Logs the exact
InstanceType, AMI, subnet, key name, and user-data size right before
RunInstances, and registers a daemon-log dump on failure so we can
correlate the 400 InvalidInstanceType with what spinifex saw.

* refactor(e2e): serialise LB suites + share probe client across internal tests

Splits TestLoadBalancer into 4 sequential subtests (ALB/NLB ×
internet-facing/internal). Each suite creates its own TG + LB + listener,
runs its traffic test, and tears down before the next starts. Replaces
the per-suite throwaway client VM with a single long-lived probe server
launched at fixture setup; per-suite internal traffic tests GET
/probe?ip=...&proto=... against it instead of cold-booting a fresh client.

Drops peak instance count from 5 to 4 (2 app + 1 LB + 1 client), so the
internal phase passes on capacity-constrained dev nodes that previously
hit InvalidInstanceType (see mulga-siv-76, mulga-siv-77 for the underlying
spinifex bugs).

* feat(daemon): make hostReserve env-configurable for dev capacity squeeze

Adds SPINIFEX_RESERVED_VCPU and SPINIFEX_RESERVED_MEM_GB env-var overrides
read at daemon startup. Invalid values are logged and ignored so a typo
doesn't silently widen the reserve. Unblocks the LB E2E on capacity-tight
dev hosts (8 vCPU box: default 2-vCPU reserve + 3x t3.nano test load
leaves 0 free for the sys.micro LB VM). Lays groundwork for the planned
operator-tunable [capacity] config.

bead: mulga-siv-78

* fix(e2e): revert LB to per-suite client + fail-fast on terminal LB state

Reverts the shared probe-server VM that wouldn't come up reliably during
the InternalFacing suites — back to the proven bash pattern of launching
a fresh client VM per suite (one of ALB_IP / NLB_IP populated based on
the suite kind). Adds renderClientUserData + a conditional template so
each client probes only its target LB.

WaitForLBActive now bails immediately on terminal LB states (failed,
provisioning_failed) and emits a "still waiting" log line every 30s so
hangs are visible instead of silently burning the full 5-minute timeout.

* ci(e2e): add e2e-go.yml workflow + GOTESTSUM Makefile opt-in

Standalone workflow runs the new Go-based E2E harness on the existing
ci-single self-hosted runner — provisions a tofu VM, bootstraps spinifex,
installs gotestsum, runs each requested suite via the e2e Makefile, and
uploads per-test artifacts + JUnit XML + JSON streams as a build artifact.
Test summary parses the JUnit and emits ::error file=...:: annotations so
failures surface in the PR diff.

Gated to the feat/e2e-go-harness branch + workflow_dispatch so it doesn't
interfere with the existing e2e.yml while the Go conversion lands.

tests/e2e/Makefile gains a GOTESTSUM=1 opt-in: when set, the e2e target
runs gotestsum with --junitfile and --jsonfile rooted in ARTIFACT_DIR
under a suite-tagged filename derived from the first PKG component.

* feat(e2e): share probe client across both internal LB suites + SG fixes

- Replaces per-suite probe client with a single shared VM launched in the
  fixture. Saves ~60s by avoiding a cold boot between the ALB and NLB
  internal suites.
- Client cloud-init exposes a JSON trigger endpoint on :9090 in addition
  to the http.server on :80 (results dir). Each suite POSTs
  {proto, ip, count, outfile, http_port, tcp_port} to run a probe loop
  against the LB private IP and writes the result file under /tmp/httpd
  for the driver to fetch back.
- configureDefaultSG now uses the structured IpPermissions form (top-level
  shortcut is silently ignored by vpcd — tracked separately) and opens
  port 9090 in addition to 80 + 9000.
- deleteLB captures the underlying sys.micro VM id via the LB ENI before
  delete, then polls DescribeLoadBalancers until LoadBalancerNotFound so
  the next suite doesn't race the capacity reclaim.
- Internal_NLB sleeps 15s up front to let the ALB sys.micro deallocate
  fully before its own createLB fires. DescribeLoadBalancers can report
  the ALB gone before the vCPU/memory allocation is actually released on
  capacity-tight dev hosts; without this settle, NLB's createLB trips the
  sys.micro reserve and lands in terminal state=failed. Still cheaper
  than cold-booting a per-suite client.

* ci(e2e): install Go on tofu VM before running Go E2E suites

The tofu-provisioned VM ships with the spx binary and bash test scripts
but no go toolchain, so the prior workflow's "Install gotestsum on VM"
step failed with `bash: line 2: go: command not found`. Add a curl-based
Go 1.26.3 install (matching go.mod) ahead of the gotestsum install and
update the test step's PATH so make e2e-* runs the freshly-installed
go binary.

* ci(e2e): bump gotestsum to @latest for Go 1.26 compatibility

gotestsum v1.12.0 pins golang.org/x/tools v0.19.0 which fails to compile
under Go 1.26 with:
  invalid array length -delta * delta (constant -256 of type int64)
Switching to @latest pulls a newer x/tools that builds clean.

* ci(e2e): ship spinifex source to VM so make -C tests/e2e can run there

Single-node tofu VM only has the spx binary + bash test bundle at
~/e2e-tests; the Go e2e workflow was running 'make -C tests/e2e e2e-cert'
from $HOME/Development/mulga/spinifex which doesn't exist, producing:
  make: *** No rule to make target 'e2e-cert'.  Stop.

Add a checkout of the spinifex repo on the runner and rsync it (minus
.git, build/, bin/, node_modules) to the VM as
~/Development/mulga/spinifex before installing Go + gotestsum.

Interim solution; mulga-siv-80 tracks replacing the rsync with shipping
pre-built test binaries from the runner.

* ci(e2e-go): replace rsync with tar-over-ssh; VM lacks rsync

bootstrap-install.sh ships a minimal binary VM with no rsync; the
ship-source and collect-artifacts steps failed with
'rsync: command not found'. Stream a tarball over ssh instead — same
exclude list, no extra dependency on the VM.

* fix(e2e): discover single-node IPs + awsgw bind in LoadEnv

run-cert-e2e.sh single mode probes awsgw.host from spinifex.toml and
adds every non-loopback global IPv4 to the node list. The Go harness
defaulted to 127.0.0.1 only, so CI on a tofu VM (awsgw bound to the
LAN IP, not loopback) saw 'connection refused' on every TLS check.

Port the same discovery: ModeSingle now walks net.InterfaceAddrs for
NodeIPs and grep-parses spinifex.toml for the awsgw bind. Both stay
overridable via SPINIFEX_NODE_IPS / SPINIFEX_SERVICE_IPS.

* ci(e2e-go): pre-build test binaries on runner; drop go toolchain from VM

Replaces the source-tree + go + gotestsum payload that the e2e-go.yml
workflow previously shipped to the tofu CI VM with self-contained
test binaries built on the runner via `go test -c`. testdata for the
LB suite is already //go:embed'd into the binaries, so the bundle on
the VM is just `<suite>.test` files (cert: 14M, lb: 17M uncompressed).

Workflow changes
- actions/setup-go on runner.
- New step builds binaries via `make e2e-build SUITES_BUILD=...`.
- Install go-junit-report on runner; convert each VM-side test log to
  junit-<suite>.xml after artifact pull so "Publish test summary" still
  parses JUnit XML.
- Drop "Install Go + gotestsum on VM" entirely (saves ~60s + network).
- Drop source-shipping rsync/tar (saves ~30s + a lot of bandwidth).
- VM step runs `./<suite>.test -test.v -test.timeout=30m` directly.

Makefile changes
- New `e2e-build` target compiles each `SUITES_BUILD` entry into
  `BIN_DIR/<suite>.test` via `go test -c -tags=e2e`. `clean` also
  removes BIN_DIR.

Closes mulga-siv-80.

* ci(e2e-go): disable setup-go cache; upload dominates self-hosted run time

* refactor(e2e): hoist generic DDIL harness primitives to shared tests/e2e/harness

Step 1.5 of docs/development/improvements/e2e-go-harness.md. Promotes
Cluster/Node/SSH/DaemonClient/LocalStateRevision/ResetAllNodes/Witness
into the shared package so the LB, multinode, and BM scenarios in
steps 4-5 can build on the same primitives instead of duplicating SSH
+ cluster plumbing.

Moves
- ddil/harness/{cluster,ssh,daemon_client,state,reset,witness}.go
  -> harness/ (plus the witness testdata embed dir).
- ddil/harness/{fault,netem,profiles,snapshot}.go -> ddil/fault/ as a
  new package; fault.PartitionNode/HealNode/KillNATS/StartNATS/
  RestartDaemonOnly/ApplyNetem/ClearNetem/LinkProfile*/TakeSnapshot
  now take harness.Cluster / harness.Node / harness.SSH explicitly.
- ddil/harness/retry.go::Run retry-with-reset extracted as
  harness.RetryWithReset in harness/wait.go; ddil/harness/quarantine.go
  keeps the DDIL-only quarantine wrapper that calls into it.
- WaitForMode moved from fault.go to harness/daemon_client.go since
  it polls daemon state and has no fault-injection concern.
- The pre-hoist harness/ssh.go (PeerSSH, subprocess ssh) is preserved
  as harness/peer_ssh.go so the lb_test suite keeps working unchanged;
  the typed x/crypto/ssh client from DDIL now owns harness/ssh.go.
- New harness/util.go exports ShellQuote (was unexported shellQuote in
  netem.go) so both ddil/fault and reset.go/witness.go can use it.

Env var rename
- SPINIFEX_NODES / SPINIFEX_SSH_USER / SPINIFEX_SSH_KEY replace
  DDIL_NODES / DDIL_SSH_USER / DDIL_SSH_KEY. Old names still honoured
  with a stderr deprecation note (envWithLegacy) so the DDIL CI keeps
  passing until .github/workflows/e2e-ddil.yml drops the old names.
  DDIL_QUARANTINED stays DDIL-specific.

DDIL parity preserved — scenarios still call ddilh.Run for quarantine
semantics; the underlying retry-with-reset is the same code path,
just shared.

Closes mulga-siv-74.

* fix(e2e): open default SG :22 ingress via structured form before witness launch

The daemon currently drops the top-level shortcut AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress
form silently (mulga-siv-79), so the default SG starts with no inbound :22 and
the witness EIP awaitBaseline tunnel times out under DDIL CI. Mirror the
workaround already present in lb_test by issuing the structured IpPermissions
form before LaunchWitnessVM. Idempotent on InvalidPermission.Duplicate so reruns
in the same cluster are safe.

* ci: render JUnit into job summary + collapsible groups in noisy steps

Add a reusable composite action (.github/actions/junit-report) that parses
a glob of JUnit XML files, writes a totals table + collapsible per-failure
details into $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, and emits one ::error annotation per
failed/errored test case so failures surface in the run header instead of
being buried in step logs.

Apply the action to both e2e-go.yml and e2e-ddil.yml (e2e-ddil gotestsum
now also emits --junitfile so the action has input).

Same workflows also wrap noisy phases (tofu apply/destroy, scrub-env,
tar-over-ssh, per-suite test runs, cluster-log collection) in
::group::/::endgroup:: markers so the Actions UI collapses the chatter
by default and the human can expand only the failing phase. Tofu output
still tees to $TOFU_LOG so the artifact bundle is unchanged.

Future workflows (multinode, baremetal) can adopt the same pattern via
the README in .github/actions/junit-report.

* test(ddil): quarantine Scenario C until predastore §2 lands

CI run 26016840819 surfaced that ScenarioC_CleanPartition silently
depends on predastore-ddil-hardening §2 (write-quorum with deferred
parity repair). Root cause from node3 daemon log:

  predastore: write udp ...->192.168.0.22:9991: sendmsg: operation not permitted
  predastore: putObjectViaQUIC: put failed
  spx QMP: BLOCK_IO_ERROR instanceId=<witness>
  spx: StopOrTerminateInstance: Terminating
  spx: Instance state transition running → shutting-down

The 'sendmsg: operation not permitted' is the EPERM Linux returns when
iptables drops an outbound packet — exactly the OUTPUT DROP rules
PartitionNode installs. The witness VM's block I/O is backed by
distributed predastore, so the same partition that severs node3↔peer
NATS traffic also severs the witness disk's cross-shard QUIC writes.
QEMU power-downs the guest after BLOCK_IO_ERROR, the daemon's
reconciler terminates the instance, and the next AssertProgressed dials
a sshd that's already gone (hence the 'handshake failed: EOF' the test
reports).

Quarantine by collapsing C to the same scenarioSkip stub D/E/F already
use, citing predastore-ddil-hardening §2 as the dependency. Flip C
back to ENABLED in the same PR that lands §2 — that's when the witness
disk can survive a peer partition without QEMU halting.

TEST_COVERAGE.md row C flipped ENABLED → SKIPPED; added a quarantine
note explaining the predastore dependency.

* ci: colored phase banners + quiet-on-success tofu output

Pretty up the live Actions log without flooding it. Three changes:

1. .github/scripts/ci-fmt.sh — sourceable bash helpers (banner, ok, bad,
   warn, note, quiet_run) using ANSI colors that the Actions UI renders.
2. e2e-go.yml + e2e-ddil.yml — tofu phases switch back to quiet redirect
   into $TOFU_LOG (the previous tee'd version regressed live noise vs
   the original silent redirect). Each phase now prints one colored
   ok/✗ line; on failure the tail of $TOFU_LOG dumps inside a single
   collapsed group, so the live log stays scannable but the failing tail
   is one click away.
3. junit-report render.py — compact summary: short status icons (✅/❌)
   in a single column, no separate err column, single-line failure list
   (truncated to 120 chars) instead of <details> blocks that wrap badly
   on narrow screens.

Per-suite test runs still wrap in ::group:: with an inline cyan banner
so pass output collapses and the suite name is obvious when expanded.

* test(e2e): add harness.Phase / Step / Detail for human-readable test output

Test fixtures were emitting flat walls of t.Logf with every line prefixed
by the same `lb_test.go:61:` (file:line of the call site that the
t.Helper() chain bubbles up to) and forced 6-space indent. Hard to skim,
hard to find where one phase ends and the next begins.

Add three helpers in tests/e2e/harness/log.go:

  Phase(t, fmt, ...)   — flush-left colored banner via fmt.Println.
                         Bypasses t.Logf so the line lands without the
                         testing framework's indent/file:line prefix.
                         Pure visual structure; the diagnostic detail
                         stays on t.Logf.
  Step(t, fmt, ...)    — single-line sub-phase marker via t.Logf.
                         Keeps file:line attribution so a triager can
                         find the source of a progress message.
  Detail(t, k, v, ...) — key=value resource IDs via t.Logf. Same
                         attribution rationale as Step — IDs are
                         diagnostic and want to land in JUnit XML
                         bucketed with the owning test.

Why the split: Phase is purely a banner; losing JUnit attribution costs
nothing because banners aren't diagnostic. Step/Detail carry triage
context (instance IDs, AMI, etc.) and a failing test's JUnit testcase
node should still contain them, so t.Logf attribution is kept.

ANSI colors are auto-disabled when stdout isn't a TTY and GITHUB_ACTIONS
isn't set, so piped local `go test -v` stays clean.

Apply to lb_test setupSharedFixture — five Phase banners replace the
implicit run of helper logs ("Discovering cluster capacity",
"Ensuring SSH key pair", "Creating shared VPC topology",
"Launching app instances", "Launching probe client") so the live CI log
reads as a story rather than a flat resource dump.

* ci(e2e-go): strip indent + file:line on display, propagate color env over SSH

Two display bugs spotted on the previous run:

1. Phase banners came out white instead of bold-cyan because the test
   binary runs over SSH on the tofu VM, where neither GITHUB_ACTIONS
   nor a TTY is present, so harness.log.go init() disables ANSI escapes.
   Fix: export GITHUB_ACTIONS=true and FORCE_COLOR=1 in the remote env
   so the helper keeps emitting color codes.

2. Every t.Logf line still rendered as
       lb_test.go:61: instance type: t3.nano
   (4-space indent + `<file>:<line>:` prefix) because t.Helper()
   bubbles file:line to the call site. Fix: pipe the test binary's
   stdout through `sed -E 's/^[[:space:]]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+_test\.go:[0-9]+: )?//'`
   so the display strips both. Tee to the artifact log happens BEFORE
   the sed so raw output is preserved for triage; only the live UI
   sees the cleaned form.

* feat(e2e-harness): extend harness for single-node Go suite port

Stage A of mulga-siv-89 — add the primitives the single-node run-e2e.sh
port consumes:

- AWSClient gains IAM + STS service handles, plus NewAWSClientWithCreds
  for per-tenant account-scoping in Phase 8.
- awserror.go: ErrorCodeIs, AssertAWSError, ExpectError — Go equivalent
  of the bash expect_error helper used throughout the negative phases.
- poll.go: WaitForInstance/Volume/Snapshot/Image state to any target,
  with per-resource default timeouts tuned from the bash sleep loops.
- spxcli.go: thin shellouts for spx get nodes/vms, spx top nodes,
  spx admin account create with output parsing for tenant-id/access-key.
- rawhttp.go: signed raw POST against the AWS gateway for the Phase 8
  InvalidAction probe (gateway rejects on auth before action parsing).
- ovn.go: OvnNbctl/OvnSbctl wrappers + SkipIfNoOVN for Phase 8b-e
  datapath checks; WaitForPortGroupMember handles propagation polls.
- ec2helpers.go: InstancePublicSSHHost (public-IP-or-qemu-hostfwd),
  LsblkRootGiB, serial-console-access trio, DiscoverDefaultVPC,
  idempotent AuthorizeSSHIngress.
- account.go: AccountCarousel maps tenant name -> scoped AWSClient,
  built atop NewAWSClientWithCreds for the Phase 8 isolation tests.

Pure groundwork — no new tests, no production behaviour change. The
cert + lb scenarios still compile against the extended harness.

* ci(e2e-go): auto-cancel + reap orphans to prevent runner wedge

A cancelled run on the single-runner ci-single host has been leaving
orphan tofu/terraform procs (and stale tfstate locks) behind, which
caused the next push's tofu destroy to hang for 45m+ and saturate the
runner host until sshd refused new connections.

- Add `concurrency: e2e-go-${ref}, cancel-in-progress: true` so a new
  push to feat/e2e-go-harness cancels the in-flight run instead of
  stacking on the same self-hosted runner.
- New `Reap Orphan Procs` step at job start: SIGTERM then SIGKILL any
  lingering `tofu`/`terraform` from the runner user, and unlink any
  stale `.terraform.tfstate.lock.info`.
- Harden `Teardown`: drop `set -e` (scrub-env must always run as the
  libvirt-level fallback), reap orphans before destroy, and wrap
  `tofu destroy` in `timeout 600` so a wedged provider can't pin the
  job to its 45m timeout.

* ci(e2e-go): drop push trigger, manual dispatch only

Pull the on.push branch trigger so the workflow only fires from
workflow_dispatch — matches the e2e-ddil.yml Phase-1 pattern. Push
trigger lifts again once the single-node Go port (mulga-siv-89) is
green end-to-end and run-e2e.sh is retired.

* test(e2e-single): port run-e2e.sh phases 1-4 to Go

Stage B of mulga-siv-89. Lands the TestSingleNode orchestrator + Fixture
that threads state between sequential phase subtests, plus phases:

- Phase 1: KVM check, AWS gateway TLS reachability, daemon NATS
  readiness polling, region/AZ smoke.
- Phase 1b: spx get nodes / top nodes / get vms (single-node only).
- Phase 2: nano instance-type + arch discovery.
- Phase 2b: serial-console-access default/enable/disable round-trips.
- Phase 3: create-key-pair + import-key-pair lifecycle; test-key-1 PEM
  kept for Phase 5 instance launch (cleanup deferred to teardown phase
  in stage G).
- Phase 4: architecture-aware AMI discovery via name filter
  ami-ubuntu-24.04-{x86_64,arm64}, falls back from spx import output.

Phase ordering is contractual (Phase 5+ depend on AMI, key pair, AZ).
detectPoolMode reads [network] external_mode from spinifex.toml so
stages F/G can skip pool-only phases on dev_networking fixtures.

No production code changed. cert + lb scenarios continue to compile.

* test(e2e-single): port run-e2e.sh phases 5-5e to Go

Stage C of mulga-siv-89 — the instance/volume/snapshot/image lifecycle
that everything else hangs off:

- Phase 5: run-instances (default VPC + default SG with tcp/22 opened
  via idempotent harness.AuthorizeSSHIngress), wait running, resolve
  root volume from BlockDeviceMappings.
- Phase 5a-pre: spx get vms now contains the running instance.
- Phase 5a: describe-instances metadata round-trip (type/key/AMI/BDMs).
- Phase 5a-ii: TCP wait, ssh id, lsblk cross-check vs API root volume
  size (±1 GiB tolerance — lsblk rounds down), soft hostname check.
- Phase 5a-iii: get-console-output round-trip on InstanceId.
- Phase 5b: create-volume (10 GiB) → modify-volume (20 GiB) →
  attach-volume → detach-volume → delete-volume, polling each state
  transition through harness.WaitForVolumeState.
- Phase 5b-ii: describe-volume-status on the root volume.
- Phase 5c: create-snapshot → wait completed → copy-snapshot → both
  visible → delete original → copy survives → delete copy.
- Phase 5d: AMI snapshot-backed launch verification via
  DescribeImages.BlockDeviceMappings[].Ebs.SnapshotId. Predastore-side
  config.json reads are TODO (no S3 client in harness yet).
- Phase 5e: create-image --no-reboot, wait available, capture backing
  snapshot ID for Phase 9 cleanup.

Phase 7a (attach to stopped → error) stubbed in volume_test.go for
Stage D to fill once the lifecycle stop/start lands.

* test(e2e-single): port run-e2e.sh phases 5f-8 to Go

Stage D of the single-node Go port (mulga-siv-89). Adds four files
under tests/e2e/single/ covering Phase 5f (SG egress ACL enforcement),
Phase 6 (tag CRUD), Phases 7 / 7a / 7b / 7c-pre / 7c (stop, start,
attach-to-stopped negative, ModifyInstanceAttribute, reboot, multi-count
RunInstances), and Phase 8 negatives (18 sub-tests asserting AWS error
codes via harness.ExpectError / AssertAWSError / PostAWSAction).

Wired into TestSingleNode in main_test.go; phase ordering preserved
because Phase 7 chain mutates the shared instance state (stopped at end
of 7, .small after 7b, running after 7c-pre, untouched by 7c siblings)
and Phase 8 negatives need a running instance with the AMI/key created
earlier.

Removes the placeholder phase7a_AttachToStoppedError stub from
volume_test.go (real impl now in lifecycle_test.go).

run-e2e.sh stays in tree until step-7 cleanup per the parent plan.

* ci(e2e-go): wire e2e-single target + add single to build set

Lets the in-progress single-node Go port (mulga-siv-89, Stages A-D
landed) be exercised in CI via explicit `suites: e2e-single` dispatch
input ahead of Stage G flipping the workflow default.

Workflow default suites unchanged until Phase 9 teardown lands.

* test(e2e-single): port run-e2e.sh IAM 1-7 + Phase 8 account scoping to Go

Stage E of the single-node Go port (mulga-siv-89). Adds two files
under tests/e2e/single/:

- iam_test.go (903 lines): IAM Phases 1-7 — User CRUD, Access Key
  Lifecycle, User Authentication (via harness.NewAWSClientWithCreds),
  Policy CRUD (+ CreatePolicyVersion / SetDefaultPolicyVersion /
  DeletePolicyVersion which bash lacks), Policy Attachment &
  Enforcement (allow / deny / wildcard / root bypass), Policy Lifecycle
  (DeleteConflict while attached), and idempotent Cleanup.

- account_test.go (1186 lines): Phase 8 EC2 Account Scoping — 11 Steps
  (Account Setup, Instance / Volume / KeyPair / Snapshot / VPC-Subnet /
  IGW-EIGW Scoping, Account Settings, Global Resources, Edge Cases,
  Cleanup). Uses harness.AccountCarousel for the multi-profile
  credential map and SpxAdminAccountCreate for admin account
  bootstrap.

Fixture extended with IAM cross-phase state (IAMAdminAccount,
IAM{Alice,Bob,Charlie}{KeyID,Secret}) so Phase 7 cleanup is defensive
even when an intermediate IAM phase short-circuits. All 11 Phase 8
Steps share local state in the outer function; t.Cleanup mirrors
Step 11 LIFO so a mid-Step failure still tears down accounts.

Wired into TestSingleNode. run-e2e.sh stays in tree until step-7
cleanup per parent plan.

* fix(e2e-harness): use kebab-case is-default filter for DescribeVpcs

AWS EC2 DescribeVpcs filter names are kebab-case (is-default), and the
daemon's filter allowlist enforces that. The harness sent the camelCase
SDK field name (isDefault), so the daemon returned InvalidParameterValue
400 and DiscoverDefaultVPC fataled — leaving Phase 5 InstanceID empty
and cascading 16 downstream Single-Node E2E subtests to fail.

* test(e2e-single): port run-e2e.sh phases 8b-8e to Go

Stage F of the single-node Go port (mulga-siv-89). Adds three files
under tests/e2e/single/:

- vpc_test.go (553 lines): Phase 8b (pool-mode VPC public/private
  subnet E2E — CreateVpc, dual subnets with MapPublicIpOnLaunch
  assertions, IGW attach, custom route table + 0.0.0.0/0 route,
  instance launch + SSH + external connectivity probe) and Phase 8c
  (route table validation — main RT association, local + IGW route
  presence, custom RT CRUD + association/disassociation, negative
  delete-local + delete-main assertions).
- natgw_test.go (467 lines): Phase 8d (pool-mode NAT GW E2E —
  CreateNatGateway with EIP, private subnet route via NAT, bastion-
  hopped SSH into private VM, baseline egress drop / post-NAT egress
  succeed / post-teardown egress lost). Inline waitForNATGatewayState
  helper bounds the pending->available->deleted state machine via
  harness.EventuallyErr.
- datapath_test.go (326 lines): Phase 8e (OVN-gated SG-to-SG datapath
  — two SGs with UserIdGroupPair ingress rule, OVN port-group
  membership + SB address-set wait loops, allowed traffic curl,
  denied traffic nc, revoke->drop, re-add->restore).

Pool-mode gating via fix.PoolMode for 8b/8d; OVN gating via
harness.SkipIfNoOVN for 8e. Per-phase t.Cleanup LIFO ensures
teardown unwinds even on partial failure. Wired into TestSingleNode.

* test(e2e-single): port run-e2e.sh phases 9, 9a, 9b to Go

Stage G of the single-node Go port (mulga-siv-89) — final teardown +
post-teardown verification. Adds tests/e2e/single/teardown_test.go
(226 lines):

- phase9_Teardown: DeleteSnapshot(CustomAMISnapID) -> DeregisterImage
  (CustomAMIID) -> TerminateInstances(InstanceID) + wait terminated ->
  DeleteKeyPair(KeyName). Each call swallows *NotFound via
  harness.ErrorCodeIs; unexpected errors logged as warnings so 9a/9b
  always run.
- phase9a_VerifyTeardown: DescribeInstances must show terminated or
  NotFound; DescribeImages must NOT include the deregistered AMI;
  DescribeKeyPairs must NOT include the deleted key. Clears the
  consumed Fixture fields.
- phase9b_FinalClusterStats: harness.SpxGetVMs must NOT list the
  terminated InstanceID; orphan i- rows surface as soft Logf warnings
  to avoid flakes when parallel suites share the node.

Wired into TestSingleNode. With this, mulga-siv-89's single-node Go
port (Stages A-G) is feature-complete; run-e2e.sh remains in tree
until a separate cleanup bead deletes it after CI burn-in.

* ci(e2e-go): unbuffer sed in test pipeline for live log streaming

GNU sed defaults to block-buffered stdout when stdout is a pipe
(GitHub Actions runner). Accumulates 4-64KB before flushing, so
test output appeared in sporadic batches unaligned to test
boundaries. -u flag forces line-buffered output so each go test -v
line surfaces in the Actions UI as it is produced.

Side effect: none. No process count change, no SSH session change,
no test execution change. Pure output flushing on the runner host.

* fix(e2e-single): persist key PEM across phases and skip unimplemented IAM ops

Three bugs blocked the Single-Node Go E2E suite after the DescribeVpcs
filter fix:

1. Phase 3 wrote the SSH PEM into `t.TempDir()`, which Go cleans up when
   the Phase 3 subtest exits. Phases 5a-ii / 5a-iii / 7b / 7c-pre then
   saw "Permission denied (publickey)" / "Identity file not accessible"
   and the cascade left the instance in a state that broke 7c-pre's
   `start-instances`. Move the PEM under a TestSingleNode-scoped
   `fix.TmpDir` so it survives until the whole test exits.

2. IAM Phase 2's `require.NotEmpty(t, fix.IAMAdminAccount, "")` was
   intended as a no-op (Phase 4 populates the field), but require.NotEmpty
   fails on empty regardless of message. Removed the bogus check.

3. The daemon does not yet implement `UpdateUser` (IAM Phase 1) or the
   policy-version family (IAM Phase 4): `CreatePolicyVersion`,
   `ListPolicyVersions`, `SetDefaultPolicyVersion`, `DeletePolicyVersion`.
   They return `InvalidAction` and abort the phase. Wrap each block in a
   t.Run sub-test with t.Skip so the surrounding phase still runs and
   the skips show up explicitly in the test report.

* test(e2e): parallelise hot phases + tune fast-path polls

Squash merge of feat/e2e-parallel-quickwins (mulga-siv-96). Four
quick wins from decomposing run-e2e.sh into Go phase subtests:

- Phase 8 negatives (single/negative_test.go): t.Parallel() inside
  each of the 18 read-only error-path sub-tests. ~5-10x speedup.
- IAM Phase 4 policies (single/iam_test.go): EC2ReadOnly stays
  seeded sequentially (populates fix.IAMAdminAccount); the other
  four policies fan out as siblings under a wrapping
  create_policies_parallel t.Run. ~5x on the Phase 4 sub-step.
- Volume + snapshot fast paths (single/{volume,snapshot}_test.go):
  pass harness.WithPoll(500ms) on the five state transitions that
  finish in <1s on local QEMU. Halves Phase 5b / 5c wall-clock.
- Cert per-IP loop (cert/cert_test.go): t.Parallel() inside the 4
  inner t.Run(ip, ...) blocks. Cuts cert phase by len(nodes).

No harness changes, no Fixture changes, no test-execution-order
changes. mulga-siv-96.

* test(e2e-lb): resolve peer availability before shared fixture setup

setupSharedFixture builds a VPC + 2 app VMs + probe client (minutes
on capacity-tight dev hosts) and previously ran BEFORE the peer
pickup + ssh.Ping. On single-node, the InternetFacing_* subtests
would correctly t.Skip on peer == "" — but only after the fixture
work and once subtests started, so the wait appeared to be attached
to the first subtest name gotestsum printed.

Reorder: pickPeer + ssh.Ping first, log "internet-facing will skip"
immediately, then build the fixture for the internal subtests.
No behavior change for multi-node + peer-reachable; on single-node
the skip rationale surfaces before the fixture wait.

* test(e2e-single): extend SSH wait budget to 3m on slow boot paths

CI run 26034322018 timed out Phase5a_ii_SSH (60s budget) and
Phase8b_VPCSubnetE2E (2m budget) on the TCP-port-open poll while
sshd was still finishing pam/cloud-init. Bump all four wait sites
to 3m as a stop-gap:

- single/instance_test.go phase5aii_SSHProbe
- single/lifecycle_test.go waitForSSHReady (Phase 7b/7c/7c-pre)
- single/vpc_test.go phase8b_VPCSubnetE2E
- single/natgw_test.go phase8d bastion SSH wait

Proper fix tracked under mulga-siv-101 (hoist a harness.WaitForSSH
that probes the actual handshake, not just tcp/22 reachability).

* test(e2e-single): skip-gate IAM3/IAM5/IAM6 until daemon handlers land

CI run 26034322018 surfaced three IAM daemon gaps:

- IAM3_UserAuthentication: alice's freshly-created access key returns
  403 from DescribeInstances — daemon doesn't honour scoped IAM key
  signatures yet.
- IAM5_PolicyAttachmentEnforcement: cascades from IAM3 (alice can't
  sign).
- IAM6_PolicyLifecycle: DetachUserPolicy returns 404 even on
  attachments Phase 5 confirmed — daemon attachment ledger gap.

Skip-gate each phase with t.Skip + a pointer to mulga-siv-100 so the
remaining IAM coverage (IAM1/IAM2/IAM4/IAM7) keeps surfacing
regressions, and the suite as a whole doesn't fail on known gaps.
Flip to real assertions once the daemon handlers land.

* test(e2e-single): probe full SSH handshake (not just TCP port open)

CI run 26036025293 hit "Connection timed out during banner exchange"
on Phase5a-ii / 8b / 8d even with the 3m TCP-port-open budget: tcp/22
opens immediately, but sshd is still finishing pam/cloud-init, so the
first real runSSH call afterwards races the half-open daemon.

Switch waitForSSHReady to issue an actual ssh BatchMode + ConnectTimeout
handshake against the target, retrying until the daemon completes the
banner exchange. Drop the four TCP-only Eventually loops in favour of
the upgraded helper:

- instance_test.go phase5aii_SSHProbe
- lifecycle_test.go waitForSSHReady (Phase 7b / 7c-pre / 7c)
- vpc_test.go phase8b_VPCSubnetE2E
- natgw_test.go phase8d_NATGateway (bastion)

Signature: waitForSSHReady(t, host, port, keyPath). Backwards-compat
alias waitForSSHHandshake exposed for the instance_test caller. Proper
harness hoist tracked under mulga-siv-101.

* test(e2e-harness): dual-emit Step + Detail for live CI streaming

go test's testing framework buffers t.Logf output per-test and releases
it only on PASS/FAIL. Long subtests (Phase8Acct_AccountScoping ~115s,
Internal_NLB ~60s, Phase8b_VPCSubnetE2E 2-3m, Phase8d_NATGateway ~90s)
therefore went silent in CI for the entire subtest duration, even with
sed -u line-buffering in the workflow pipeline.

harness.Phase already wrote to os.Stdout directly for this reason.
Extend the pattern: have Step and Detail dual-emit — write the same
line to os.Stdout (streams live) AND t.Logf (keeps JUnit per-test
attribution). The duplicate on a failure is acceptable; both copies
carry identical content.

mulga-siv-103 (note: numbering skipped past siv-102 which was already
filed in the parent branch).

* test(e2e-harness): drop t.Logf duplicate from Step + Detail

The dual-emit (Fprintln + t.Logf) caused every Step/Detail line to
appear twice after long subtests: once live via stdout, once again
when the testing framework released its per-test buffer at
PASS/FAIL. Most visible after lb subtests (Internal_NLB ~60s) where
the bulk release dumped ~dozens of duplicated lines at once.

Drop the t.Logf copy. go-junit-report parses stdout between
`=== RUN` and `--- PASS/FAIL` markers, so per-test attribution in
JUnit XML is preserved without the duplicate.

Refs: mulga-siv-103

* test(e2e-harness): stream lb-waiter progress live in CI

WaitForLBActive, WaitForTargetsHealthy, WaitForENICleanup, and
WaitForInstanceRunning emitted progress via t.Logf, which the
testing framework buffers per-test. After the previous commit
dropped the dual-emit, that meant every poll loop went silent
until subtest end — visible in CI as 'nlb is active' hanging on
screen for the whole duration of the subsequent traffic check.

Route progress through harness.Step (direct stdout). Also emit a
'waiting for X' Step at the start of each helper so observers
know what the silent stretches actually represent.

* test(e2e): dump VPC/IGW datapath diagnostics on Phase8b SSH timeout

Phase8b's 3min SSH timeout on a fresh-VPC VM (CI run 26037892507) is
the customer-visible surface of mulga-siv-105 — vpcd's handleIGWAttach
returns before ovn-northd compiles + the gateway chassis installs
flows. Two other cleanup-only bugs (siv-106 missing spinifex:cidr,
siv-107 dnat_and_snat double-delete) showed up in the same triage.

Keep the test hard-failing so the regression stays visible, but dump a
triage bundle on timeout so each occurrence is actionable:

- guest console output (last 4KB — boot + cloud-init state)
- ovn-nbctl show + ovn-sbctl show
- Logical_Router external_ids (confirms siv-106 reproduction)
- NAT rules (confirms siv-105 + siv-107 surface)
- Port_Binding chassis,up (confirms gateway port up state)

Diagnostics go straight to stdout (Step/Detail rationale) so they
stream live in CI rather than dumping at PASS/FAIL.

* ci(junit-report): drop parent t.Run containers from tally + list skips with reasons

GitHub Actions test summary was counting Go's top-level Test* parent
plus its failing subtest as two distinct failures (the parent is just
a rollup of its children). The summary now de-dupes by dropping any
test case whose name is a strict prefix of another's, so the per-file
counts and the Failures block both match the actual leaf-test
outcome. CI run 26037892507 was reporting '2 failed' for single when
it should have been 1.

Also adds a collapsible Skipped section listing each skipped leaf test
with its t.Skipf call-site reason (the .go:<line>: line from the
CDATA). ANSI escapes from harness.Phase banners are stripped so the
reason is plain text. Reasons are useful triage signal — current run
has 9 skips spread across daemon gaps (mulga-siv-100) and pool-mode
gates (InternetFacing_*).

* ci(e2e-go): propagate cancel to remote .test procs + nuke VM before destroy

Two related leaks made cancelled runs strand QEMU work on the libvirt host:

1. The long `ssh tf-user@VM "for SUITE in …; do ./$SUITE.test"` ran
   without -tt, so when the runner cancelled the step the local ssh
   died but sshd never sent SIGHUP through (no PTY). The remote
   `.test` binary orphaned and kept running until its own 30m
   `-test.timeout`, holding tmp dirs, NATS connections, and qcow2 file
   handles.
2. Teardown went straight to `tofu destroy` without first killing any
   stragglers on the VM, so destroy raced the .test's open file handles
   on the root disk — sometimes successfully, sometimes leaving the
   libvirt host with a half-released qcow2.

Fix:
 - Allocate a PTY on the run-suites ssh (`-tt`) so sshd HUPs children
   when the local ssh dies.
 - Add a trap (EXIT INT TERM) in the run-suites step that ssh's back
   to the VM and pkill's `/spinifex-e2e-bin/*.test` belt-and-braces.
 - Mirror the same pkill at the top of Teardown so destroy runs against
   a quiesced VM.

Both cleanups are scoped to the per-run wan_ip — safe to land while
multiple ci-single runner agents run concurrent jobs against different
tofu envs on the same host (we deliberately keep that parallelism).

Refs: runner host wedged 2026-05-19 (post-cancel orphans suspected;
no journal access yet to confirm).

* ci(e2e-go): scope orphan reap to GITHUB_WORKSPACE so it spares sibling runners

Reap Orphan Procs (job start) and the in-Teardown pkill block were using
`pkill -u $UID_SELF -x tofu/terraform` plus `find $HOME -maxdepth 6 -name
.terraform.tfstate.lock.info`. The single host runs 5+ self-hosted runners
all as `tf-user`, so every e2e-go run was SIGKILLing in-flight tofu from
sibling workflows (e2e.yml, e2e-ddil.yml, e2e-baremetal.yml, ...) and
deleting their state-lock files — exactly the kind of cross-runner
collateral the reap was meant to recover from.

Scope by `/proc/$pid/cwd` starting with $GITHUB_WORKSPACE; each runner's
workspace dir is unique on the host, so only this run's own tofu procs
match. Find for stale lockfiles is likewise scoped to $GITHUB_WORKSPACE.

* ci(e2e-go): bump setup-go v5->v6, upload-artifact v4->v7

GitHub now warns Node 20 actions are deprecated. e2e-go.yml lagged the
rest of the repo; bump to match versions already in use:

- actions/setup-go@v5 -> @v6   (matches spinifex.yml)
- actions/upload-artifact@v4 -> @v7  (matches release.yml, e2e-ddil.yml)

checkout@v6 and create-github-app-token@v3 are already current across
all workflows. The local junit-report action is `using: composite`
(shell-only), so the Node runtime change does not apply.

* fix(vpcd): add flows-ready barrier after IGW attach (mulga-siv-105)

handleIGWAttach wrote the external switch + gateway port + LRP + default
route to OVN NB and returned immediately, before ovn-northd had compiled
NB -> SB and before ovn-controller on the gateway chassis had installed
the resulting flows. A subsequent RunInstances -> vpc.add-nat could
complete while the datapath was still dark; the launched VM was then
unreachable on its public IP for whatever flow-install latency the
chassis happened to incur. Customer-visible as 'I just created a VPC,
launched a VM, and can't SSH in' for ~minutes.

Reproduced deterministically in CI run 26037892507 Phase8b: a VM in
a fresh VPC was unreachable at 192.168.0.202:22 for 3+ minutes, while
a VM at the same public IP in the warm default VPC (Phase8d) was
reachable in ~40 seconds.

Block at the end of handleIGWAttach on `ovn-nbctl --wait=hv sync`,
which bumps NB_Global.nb_cfg and waits for every connected chassis to
acknowledge the new sequence number — i.e. flows installed. Bounded by
--timeout=30; overruns log a WARN and continue (a 30s OVN stall is
already a deeper problem than failing VPC create would surface).

waitForFlowsHV is a package var so tests can stub it; in environments
without ovn-nbctl on PATH the shell-out fails fast and the WARN path
returns nil, so existing IGW tests stay green without a live OVN.

Refs: mulga-siv-105

* fix(vpcd): store spinifex:cidr on VPC create (mulga-siv-106)

handleVPCCreate built the OVN logical router with only spinifex:vpc_id
and spinifex:vni in ExternalIDs. Cleanup paths (handleIGWDetach + NAT
sweeps) read external_ids['spinifex:cidr'] to scope SNAT removal to
the VPC's own CIDR; when unset, they fell back to an overbroad
10.0.0.0/8 and emitted a WARN.

reconcileVPC already stored the same key at startup; the live-create
path drifted. Add the field to handleVPCCreate, log the cidr alongside
vpc_id, extend TestTopologyHandler_VPCCreate to assert the external_id
is set.

Refs: mulga-siv-106

* fix(vpcd): make handleDeleteNAT idempotent on 'already absent' (mulga-siv-107)

Instance termination fans out through multiple cleanup paths
(instanceCleanerAdapter.ReleasePublicIP AND
VPCServiceImpl.DeleteNetworkInterface), both of which publish
vpc.delete-nat for the same (vpc, logical_ip). The publish is
fire-and-forget (utils.PublishNATEvent uses PublishEvent for
vpc.delete-nat, not RequestEvent), so callers never branch on the
response. The second publisher then triggered a spurious
'ERROR vpcd: failed to delete dnat_and_snat rule ... not found' log
line ms after the first delete succeeded — confusing triage signal
with no actionable consequence.

Add ErrNATNotFound sentinel to the OVN client interface and wrap the
not-found return paths in both LiveOVNClient and MockOVNClient.
handleDeleteNAT matches errors.Is(err, ErrNATNotFound) and treats
that as success (logs INFO 'already absent (idempotent)').

Existing TestTopologyHandler_DeleteNAT_NotFound asserted the opposite
contract; the comment claimed EIP disassociation needed the error
signal, but DisassociateAddress also fire-and-forgets vpc.delete-nat,
so the contract never had a real consumer. Test renamed to
_Idempotent with assertSuccess.

Other failure modes (router missing, OVN unreachable, transact error)
still surface as ERROR + reply with the error string.

* ci(e2e-go): cluster JUnit failures + name likely root cause (#230)

* ci(e2e-go): cluster JUnit failures + name likely root cause

New composite action `.github/actions/e2e-analyze` runs after
`go-junit-report` converts each suite log. For every `<failure>` it
strips ANSI, normalises dynamic noise (EC2 IDs, UUIDs, IPs, timestamps,
file:line) to a stable signature, picks the earliest non-cascade
failure per suite as the likely root cause, and buckets the rest by
signature. Output is appended to `$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY` and written to
`<log-dir>/analysis.md` so it travels with the artifact bundle.

Cascade markers (`must populate fix.`, `Should NOT be empty`,
`Expected value not to be nil`) collapse the typical "one upstream
phase fails, ten downstream `require.NotEmpty` assertions trip" pattern
into a single grouped entry under the real first failure.

The analyser is advisory — it always exits 0. The existing
"Fail job if any suite failed" gate keeps owning exit-code semantics.

Stage 1 of `docs/development/improvements/e2e-go-failure-analysis.md`
(mulga-siv-102). Stage 2 (per-failure log slicing) and Stage 3
(rule-based hints via `tests/e2e/.failure-rules.yaml`, placeholder
seeded here) are independent follow-ups.

CI wiring:
- e2e-go.yml: new "Analyze e2e failures" step between "Publish test
  summary" and the artifact upload, always-runs.
- spinifex.yml: new `make test-actions` step so the golden-file tests
  under `.github/actions/e2e-analyze/testdata/` run on every PR.
- Makefile: `test-actions` target; kept out of `test-cover` so CI-only
  tooling doesn't dilute coverage %.

Golden fixtures: a synthetic cascade-vpcs case (one Phase 5
InvalidParameterValue root + 15 downstream cascades), one real
single-failure case captured from run 26037892507, and a clean
no-failures case.

* ci(e2e-go): per-failure log bundles with time-window slicing

Stage 2 of the e2e failure analyzer. For each failure surfaced by
Stage 1, materialise <log-dir>/analysis/NN-<TestName>/ containing:

  failure.txt — summary (test, start, duration, file-site, error)
  journal.log — spinifex-journal.log sliced to
                [StartAt - 5s, StartAt + Duration + 5s]
  test.log    — test-<suite>.log block between `=== RUN <name>`
                and the matching `--- FAIL` marker
  <copies>    — any files the harness already dropped at
                <log-dir>/<TestName_with_/_replaced>/

Report links each entry to its bundle so a reader on the Actions
page goes straight to the relevant slice.

Workflow now invokes journalctl with --output=short-iso so the
analyzer can parse wall-clock timestamps for the journal window.
Lines without a parseable timestamp inherit the previous line's
classification (keeps multi-line records and stack traces
contiguous).

Render output is unchanged when BundlePath is empty, so the Stage 1
golden snapshots still match.

* ci(e2e-go): restore GOTOOLCHAIN=auto after setup-go v6 bump

setup-go@v6 flipped the GOTOOLCHAIN default from "auto" to "local",
which makes Go refuse to auto-download the toolchain version named
in go.mod. The self-hosted ci-single runner ships /usr/local/go
older than spinifex/go.mod's `go 1.26.3`, and build-install-artifacts.sh
prepends that path so the system Go wins the resolution race. Under
v5 ("auto"), Go silently fetched 1.26.3 on demand; under v6
("local"), the Build Install Artifacts step errors out:

  go: spinifex/go.mod requires go >= 1.26.3 (running go 1.26.1; GOTOOLCHAIN=local)

Re-set the env to "auto" so behaviour matches pre-v6 runs.

* ci(e2e-go): re-export GOTOOLCHAIN=auto after setup-go

Workflow-level env doesn't help: setup-go@v6 writes GOTOOLCHAIN=local
to $GITHUB_ENV, which overrides workflow env in every later step.
Add a dedicated step right after setup-go that appends
GOTOOLCHAIN=auto to $GITHUB_ENV so the Build Install Artifacts step
(which uses /usr/local/go from a stale runner path) can self-heal by
fetching the toolchain named in go.mod, matching pre-v6 behaviour.

* fix(vpcd): add flows-ready barrier after dnat_and_snat add

handleAddNAT wrote the NAT rule to OVN NB and returned immediately,
mirroring the gap siv-105 closed for handleIGWAttach but on the NAT
add path. ec2d/RunInstances then returned success while ovn-northd
was still compiling NB->SB and ovn-controller hadn't installed the
DNAT/SNAT flows on the gateway chassis, so the freshly launched VM
was unreachable on its public IP for whatever flow-install latency
the chassis happened to incur.

Reproduced in CI run 26072432957 Phase8b_VPCSubnetE2E: VM at
192.168.0.212 timed out at 3min while diagnostics showed
Port_Binding up=true for both the VM eni and the chassis-redirect
gateway. SB-side convergence was complete; the missing piece was the
same `ovn-nbctl --wait=hv sync` barrier siv-105 added to IGW attach,
applied at the end of handleAddNAT as well.

Reuses the existing package-var `waitForFlowsHV` so tests can stub
it; no new infra. Parallel unit test asserts the call site fires
exactly once per add-nat.

* ci(e2e-analyze): real-artifact fixes for journal slicing

Three bugs surfaced after Stage 2 ran against real CI artifacts in
run 26072432957:

1. Regex `[+-]\d{4}` rejected the colon-offset form (e.g. `+10:00`)
   that systemd's `journalctl --output=short-iso` actually emits on
   most versions. Added a parser that tries RFC3339 first and falls
   back to the no-colon `-0700` layout. Result: 0-line journal slices
   become populated.

2. go-junit-report's `timestamp` attr on <testsuite> records the
   moment the XML was produced (post-suite), not when the tests
   started. Computing StartAt as `that + cumulative-priors` placed
   every failure AFTER the journal collection ended, so windows
   always missed. Workflow now writes `${ARTIFACT_DIR}/test-<suite>.start`
   right before running each suite; analyzer prefers that file over
   the junit timestamp.

3. Persisted `OffsetFromSuiteStart` on each Failure so the
   suite-start override can recompute StartAt without re-parsing the
   XML.

Unit tests added for the colon-offset journal format. End-to-end
test (TestWriteBundles_EndToEnd) still passes with the new layout.

* ci(e2e-analyze): skip parent testcases when summing suite offsets

go-junit-report emits one <testcase> for the parent Go test AND each
subtest, with the parent's time = sum of its children. ParseFile was
summing every testcase into the suite-cumulative-offset counter, so
every leaf's offset was inflated by ~the parent's total duration.
Visible on run 26073817490 as Phase8b's StartAt landing 13 minutes
after the suite finished collecting logs — beyond the journal window,
so the per-failure journal slice was empty.

Pre-compute the leaf set per suite (a name is a leaf iff no other
testcase name starts with `<name>/`) and only accumulate cumul on
leaves. Golden snapshots updated; the offset for the only failure in
each fixture now matches the actual leaf-sum start time.

* test(e2e-harness): capture IP-targeted datapath state on Phase8b SSH fail

Phase 1 diagnostics for mulga-siv-111. The Phase8b SSH timeout
reproduced on the e2e-failure-analysis branch with siv-105's IGW
barrier AND the new add-nat barrier BOTH firing cleanly, so the
residual gap is downstream of `--wait=hv sync` — most likely stale
OVS conntrack, stale upstream-host ARP, or an OF flow-install miss.

DumpVPCFlowDiagnostics now takes a VPCDiagnosticsOpts carrying the
external IP, logical IP, and per-test artifact dir. When set, the
helper greps `ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-int`, `conntrack -L`, and
`ip -4 neigh show` for the external IP / logical IP and snapshots
`ovn-nbctl find NAT external_ip=…`. Each capture is both printed
inline (existing affordance) and written to a separate file under
fix.Artifacts so the Stage 2 analyzer bundler picks it up alongside
the journal + test-log slices, no analyzer changes needed.

Phase8b's caller now passes pubIP / privIP / fix.Artifacts so the
captures fire on the next failure; updates the t.Fatalf message to
point at siv-111 instead of siv-105 (which is the now-closed parent).

* fix(e2e-single): authorize SSH ingress on fresh-VPC default SG in Phase8b

Phase 8b stands up a non-default VPC and runs an instance there. Its
auto-created default SG denies all ingress, so the SSH probe times out
even when every datapath barrier converges — OF flow captures show the
SYN reaches OVN, gets DNAT'd at table 13, then drops at the ACL between
tables 13 and 17. The bash driver relies on admin init having pre-baked
this rule on the *default* VPC's default SG; a fresh VPC has not.

Add a DescribeSecurityGroups + AuthorizeSSHIngress step between
route-table setup and run-instances, using the existing harness helper.
Fix surfaced via mulga-siv-111's Phase 1 diagnostics (OF flow + ACL
drop counts), invalidating the H1/H2/H3 stale-state hypotheses in the
bead plan doc.

* test(e2e): dual-detect ubuntu image version (24.04/26.04) during gold-image transition

After mulga gold image bumped to v6-fastboot (stages ubuntu-26.04 / resolute
instead of ubuntu-24.04 / noble), all consumers that hardcoded 24.04 break on
the new image. Make them detect at runtime so v3 and v6 envs both pass.

- tests/e2e/run-e2e.sh: DescribeImages filter accepts both
  ami-ubuntu-{26,24}.04-<arch>, then derives IMAGE_NAME from the match.
- tests/e2e/run-pseudo-multinode-e2e.sh: prefer ~/images/ubuntu-26.04.img,
  fall back to ubuntu-24.04.img; pass detected version to spx import.
- tests/e2e/single/image_test.go: walk candidate catalog names (26.04 first,
  then 24.04), stop on the first one DescribeImages can resolve.
- .github/workflows/e2e-baremetal.yml: download resolute (26.04) into
  BM_ISO_CACHE; update BM_UBUNTU_IMAGE env var path.
- docs/terraform-workbooks/{bastion-private-subnet,s3-webapp,nginx-webserver}:
  AMI filter matches `*ubuntu-26.04*` OR `*ubuntu-24.04*` (AWS values=
  array is ORed).

Companion changes for mulga (bootstrap scripts, baremetal, iso pipeline)
land in scripts/tofu-cluster/* and scripts/{tofu-iso,baremetal,iso-builder}/*
under bead mulga-siv-114. Drop the 24.04 fallbacks once all envs are on the
v6 gold image and 24.04 entries are removed from spinifex/utils/images.go.

* feat(e2e): add service-interfaces.yaml manifest + validator

Source of truth for which spinifex services produce/consume which NATS
subjects, and which e2e suites cover which services. Consumed downstream
by the targeted suite selector (Bead 4) to derive subset E2E runs from a
PR diff so single-service changes stop paying the full 25 min suite cost.

- docs/service-interfaces.yaml: 7 services, 4 active suites (cert, lb,
  single, ddil). Subscribes / publishes / depends_on filled from grep
  of NATS subjects in source. spinifexui marked covers_no_suite so
  UI-only diffs skip e2e entirely. Future suites (multinode, reboot,
  tofu, baremetal) commented in until Go ports land.
- tests/e2e/manifest-check: schema + cross-reference validator (path
  existence, subject regex, duplicate detection, suite covers resolves
  to a real service, fixtures references resolve). 8 unit tests cover
  the failure modes plus a load-and-validate on the real manifest.
- Makefile: manifest-check target, hooked into preflight.
- docs/DESIGN.md: link to the manifest under "NATS Messaging".

* fix(e2e): drop catalog-download import path from phase4_Image

`spx admin images import --name ubuntu-26.04-x86_64` with wantErr=true
was meant to detect that bootstrap-install.sh already imported the AMI
and short-circuit on the duplicate exit code. After the v6 gold-image
bump preloaded `~/images/ubuntu-26.04.img` and bootstrap-install.sh
switched to `--file` for the import, two things broke at once:

  - The catalog `--name` path no longer hits a duplicate guard for the
    --file-imported AMI, so the import re-downloads ~857MB and either
    succeeds (failing the wantErr=true assertion) or wedges the job
    timeout while the catalog server crawls along at 16KB/s.
  - `--file` from the test won't work either: the test binary runs as
    `tf-user` over SSH, while bootstrap-install.sh placed the image at
    `/home/spinifex/images/...` (mode 0700 home dir).

bootstrap-install.sh is already responsible for staging the AMI. The
test's job is verifying DescribeImages round-trips by-name and by-ID —
not re-exercising import. Trust the bootstrap-staged AMI and stop
calling import.

Keeps the 26.04→24.04 dual-detect for the v3 gold image transition;
drop the 24.04 candidate when no envs remain on v3.

* ci(e2e-go): default to e2e-single + harden status-report SHA fallback

Two changes to .github/workflows/e2e-go.yml:

1. Default `suites` input now includes e2e-single so a no-input
   manual dispatch exercises the full single-node ladder. Single-node
   Go harness is greenable now (image_test fix at 10eb38a).

2. Report E2E (Go) Status job no longer gated on `inputs.sha` and
   falls back to `github.sha` when the input is unset. Previously a
   manual dispatch without a PR head SHA either skipped the status
   post entirely or hit `gh api repos/.../statuses/` with an empty
   path component (the 'invalid hash' error) — tests passed, the
   report step failed silently. Now status posts on every dispatch
   against the dispatched ref's commit when no explicit SHA given.

Closes mulga-siv-112.

* feat(e2e): add Ensure* fixture API with memoization + cleanup

Introduces tests/e2e/harness/fixtures.go: the memoized, cleanup-aware
provisioning helpers that Bead 3 (single-fixture-migration) will rewrite
phase tests around.

Each Ensure* helper:
- takes (t *testing.T, fx *Fixture, args...)
- memoizes by a key derived from args (sync.Mutex + singleflight)
- registers t.Cleanup on the Fixture's parent test so memoized resources
  survive child-subtest lifetimes
- bakes readiness polling into the helper (no sleeps in callers)

Exported helpers: EnsureKeyPair, EnsureAMI, EnsureDefaultVPC,
EnsureSubnet, EnsureSG, EnsureInstance, EnsureVolume, EnsureSnapshot,
EnsureNATGateway, EnsureLoadBalancer.

Fixture stores ec2iface.EC2API + elbv2iface.ELBV2API so unit tests can
inject fakes without building a real AWSClient (TLS + env). Compile-time
checks guard that the SDK concrete types satisfy the stored interfaces.

Manifest fixtures: block populated — Bead 4 selector will resolve test
coverage from AST-scanned Ensure* call sites via this map.

Makefile: new test-harness target runs the harness unit tests under
-tags=e2e (mocked, no infra). Hooked into preflight so signature drift
and memo/cleanup regressions surface locally.

Bead 2 of docs/development/improvements/e2e-targeted-suite-selection.md.
No existing tests modified — fixture API is net-new.

* feat(e2e): port run-reboot-e2e.sh to Go

Adds tests/e2e/reboot/reboot_test.go — Go port of the single-node host-reboot
resilience driver (cell #18). Runs from the GitHub Actions runner (not
shipped to the VM like cert/lb/single) because systemctl reboot kills any
in-VM process mid-step.

All AWS API traffic crosses the WAN to https://WAN_IP:9999 via the SDK;
SSH-level ops (reboot, ovn-nbctl, journalctl, HTTP burst) hop via
harness.PeerSSH. Trust path tries to SCP the cluster CA off the VM and
falls back to InsecureSkipVerify with a log message if SCP fails — the
cert suite already validates real trust, so the fallback is intentional.

Harness changes:
- env: WANHost field sourced from SPINIFEX_WAN_IP, distinct from
  ServiceIPs[0] (which is the awsgw bind IP, often loopback in-VM).
- aws: SPINIFEX_AWS_INSECURE=1 escape hatch when the runner has no CA on
  disk. Used as the fallback when CA fetch fails.
- cert: SPINIFEX_CA_CERT explicit path override so the reboot test can
  point ResolveCACert at the SCP'd tmp file.
- peer_ssh: IsReachable() probe wrapper for cleanup paths that must skip
  rather than fatal when the host is mid-reboot.

Workflow (.github/workflows/e2e-go.yml):
- New e2e_go_reboot job, opt-in via `e2e-reboot` in the SUITES dispatch
  input. needs: e2e_go_single to serialise on the ci-single self-hosted
  runner. Fetches AWS creds from the VM's ~/.aws/credentials over SSH
  (mirrors the cred hop already proven by e2e-ddil.yml).
- e2e_go_single filters 'reboot' out of its build + run loops so the
  in-VM driver doesn't try to ship reboot.test to the VM and reboot it
  from inside.
- e2e_go_status treats skipped reboot as success.

* ci(e2e-go): run reboot job in parallel with single

Drop `needs: e2e_go_single` from e2e_go_reboot. Both jobs target the
same [self-hosted, ci-single] label, so GitHub Actions serialises on
runner allocation rather than blocking via job ordering — parallel-by-
spec, queued-by-runner. Lets a reboot-only dispatch start immediately
instead of waiting for an unrelated single-job pre-condition.

* fix(e2e/reboot): wait for both backends to serve before post-reboot burst

Phase 8.6 previously probed until ANY HTTP response from the ALB, then
fired a 20-req burst. Post-reboot, only one of the two backends may be
serving (the second is still bringing its responder online) while the
daemon's TG cache still shows pre-reboot 'healthy' for both — so
WaitForTargetsHealthy returns in ms instead of seconds, the ANY probe
matches the first-up backend, and the burst lands 20/0 instead of 10/10.

Probe until BOTH backends' instance_ids each appear at least once before
the round-robin burst — confirms recovery has reached both, not just one.

Underlying daemon-side TG cache staleness tracked separately as
mulga-siv-119. This wait is the test-side guard; the daemon fix will
make WaitForTargetsHealthy meaningful again post-reboot.

Refs mulga-siv-118.

* ci(e2e-go): skip single job when dispatch requests only reboot

Add if: gate to e2e_go_single that skips the job when the workflow_dispatch
suites input contains none of {e2e-single, e2e-cert, e2e-lb}. Push events
and the default suites list still trigger it, so plain PR runs are
unaffected. Avoids ~15min of wasted tofu provision+bootstrap+teardown
when only the runner-resident reboot suite is requested.

* fix(e2e/reboot): bump post-reboot LB recovery timeout to 5min

Pre-reboot the test creates the LB AFTER apps are already running, so
HAProxy starts probing against an already-serving responder — ~75s to
healthy. Post-reboot the daemon's recovery scan launches app VMs and
the ALB sys.micro VM simultaneously, so health checks start probing
within seconds of app boot beginning and both targets honestly report
unhealthy until the responder unit finishes starting. Cloud-init's
per-instance semaphore means no shortcut path on relaunch, so guest
second-boot can be slower than first boot.

Bash run-reboot-e2e.sh hid this behind stale 'healthy' state read from
the daemon's pre-reboot TG cache — fixed via ResetTargetHealthOnStartup
(mulga-siv-119), which made the test honestly wait on real lb-agent
reports. The 180s bash inherited turned out to be wishful thinking
backed by the cache bug, not measured recovery time.

5min matches the actual post-reboot eventually-consistent window
observed on run 26134156355. Refs mulga-siv-118.

* feat(e2e/reboot): ssh into guest VMs on failure for HTTP responder diag

Post-reboot failures bottom out at "0/2 healthy" with no insight into
whether the responder unit died, port 80 isn't bound, or the OVN path is
broken. Capture the keypair material from CreateKeyPair so OnFailure can
hop host -> qemu hostfwd:22 -> guest and dump systemctl status, port
listeners, curl localhost, and the responder journal per instance.

* fix(e2e/reboot): probe app instances via public IP (no QEMU hostfwd)

Previous hostfwd-SSH approach didn't apply: app VMs use pure OVN tap
interfaces (qemu argv has no hostfwd=tcp:*:*-:22), so the regex never
matched. Replace with host-side probes against the IGW-NAT'd public IP:
ping, /dev/tcp connect, and curl. Combined with the qemu ps check and
ovn-nbctl list nat dump, this localises post-reboot failures to one of:
VM not running, OVN DNAT missing, responder down, or sys.micro-only
reachability (path asymmetry).

* feat(e2e/reboot): probe ALB + dump host OVN/OVS state on failure

Last run showed apps unreachable from host post-reboot (ping 100% loss,
tcp refused) even though OVN dnat_snat rules looked correct. Need to
distinguish gateway/ext-bridge breakage from app-side breakage: add a
parallel ALB-public-IP probe (works pre-reboot, so any post-reboot
failure isolates the regression) plus a full host net-state dump (ip
route, ip neigh, ovn-nbctl show, ovs-vsctl show, br-int port list).

* feat(e2e/reboot): dump qemu serial console per app on failure

/run/spinifex/console-i-<id>.log captures cloud-init, kernel boot,
systemd, anything the guest emitted to ttyS0. Tail to 256KiB (~4x a
typical Linux boot) so the latest boot lands in full plus the tail of
the prior. Surfaces guest-side boot failures (kernel panic, fs
corruption, cloud-init OOM, etc.) that are invisible to host-side
network probes.

* feat(e2e/reboot): SSH into guest VMs via IGW for responder root-cause

Last run nailed the symptom: ALB returns 503, app public IPs answer TCP
with RST (port 80 not bound), so reboot-e2e-httpd.service isn't running
on relaunched VMs. To find out why (unit never installed? installed but
not enabled? failed to start?), open tcp/22 ingress on the shared SG and
add a guest-SSH diagnostic via the IGW NAT path. The diagnostic dumps
the unit state, port listeners, /var/lib/httpd, cloud-init result.json,
cloud-init logs, and the instance-id semaphore directory.

* test(e2e/reboot): always run guest SSH diag in phase 8

Last run passed after adding tcp/22 SG ingress. Two possibilities to
distinguish: (a) responder was running all along but blocked at the
OVN/SG layer, (b) responder wasn't running and HC was satisfied by some
other path. Capture in-guest unit + cloud-init state on every run so we
can confirm which without needing the test to fail.

* refactor(e2e/single): migrate VPC group to EnsureDefaultVPC [skip ci]

Bead 3a of mulga-siv-120 (e2e-single-fixture-migration). Replaces the
"discover default VPC + cache on Fixture" pattern in vpc_test.go,
natgw_test.go, securitygroup_test.go with harness.EnsureDefaultVPC.

- Adds Harness *harness.Fixture field on single.Fixture; constructed in
  TestSingleNode alongside AWSClient. Parent test for memoized Ensure*
  resources is TestSingleNode itself.
- Removes fix.DefaultVPCID / fix.DefaultSGID / fix.DefaultSubnetID reads
  in the three target files. Fields stay on the struct until 3e+3h
  migrate the instance / datapath / umbrella sites.
- Custom VPC graphs created by phase8b (10.99.0.0/16) and the bastion
  graph in phase8d remain inline — those are the resource lifecycle
  assertions, not prereqs.

CI gate skipped per dev request — full single-node suite verifies when
upstream main is unbroken.

* refactor(e2e/single): migrate Phase 3 key pair to EnsureKeyPair [skip ci]

Bead 3c of mulga-siv-120 (e2e-single-fixture-migration). Phase 3 now
calls harness.EnsureKeyPair for the primary key pair (Phase 5+ prereq).
The Ensure* path owns the create assertion (PEM shape), memoizes across
phases, and registers TestSingleNode-scoped cleanup — replacing the
former TODO(stage-G) deferred-cleanup marker.

- Drops hardcoded "test-key-1" name; EnsureKeyPair uses scratch-suffixed
  name so parallel CI runs don't collide on the namespace-flat AWS key
  pair name.
- fix.KeyName / fix.KeyPath still assigned for downstream Phase 5+
  readers. Per 3e migration plan, those reads move to in-test
  EnsureKeyPair calls and the Fixture fields drop with 3h.
- Import / describe / delete dance for test-key-2 stays inline — it is
  the lifecycle assertion for the import path, not a prereq.

* refactor(e2e/single): migrate Phase 4 + 5e AMI paths to EnsureAMI [skip ci]

Bead 3d of mulga-siv-120 (e2e-single-fixture-migration).

- Phase 4 (image_test.go): discover catalog AMI by canonical name, then
  route through harness.EnsureAMI({Existing}) so the state-available
  wait + memoization live with the fixture.
- Phase 5e (createimage_test.go): replace inline CreateImage block with
  harness.EnsureAMI({CreateFrom}). The custom AMI build now memoizes,
  registers DeregisterImage cleanup at TestSingleNode exit, and reuses
  the harness state poll.

Harness fix: extend AMICreateSpec with NoReboot bool — Phase 5e bakes
the AMI while leaving the source instance running for Phase 6/7
lifecycle assertions; Bead 2 missed this option.

fix.AMIID / fix.CustomAMIID / fix.CustomAMISnapID stay on Fixture for
downstream Phase 5/6/7 + Phase 9 cleanup. Those reads migrate with
3e/3h.

* refactor(e2e/single): migrate Phase 5 instance lifecycle to EnsureInstance [skip ci]

Bead 3e of e2e-single-fixture-migration.

- phase5_LaunchInstance: provision via EnsureInstance + re-describe for
  BDM/root-volume extraction; default VPC via EnsureDefaultVPC.
- phase8e_SGToSGDatapath: replace inline DiscoverDefaultVPC with
  EnsureDefaultVPC. createSG / runSGEInstance take vpcID/subnetID
  arguments so phase 8e no longer depends on fix.Default* fields.
- runSGEInstance stays direct RunInstances: phase 8e VMs are test
  subjects (need fresh ENI/private-IP per run), not memoized prereqs.
- harness.EnsureInstance memo key now includes InstanceType, SGID, and
  UserData hash — a second call with a different SG would have silently
  returned the first instance ID (Bead 2 bug).

* refactor(e2e/single): migrate Phase 5b/5c volume + snapshot to Ensure* [skip ci]

Bead 3f of e2e-single-fixture-migration.

- phase5b_VolumeLifecycle: create+wait via EnsureVolume; subsequent
  modify/attach/detach/delete stay inline (test subject lifecycle).
- phase5c_SnapshotLifecycle: create+wait via EnsureSnapshot. Drop the
  create-response State/Progress shape assertions — after EnsureSnapshot
  the snapshot is already "completed", and the describe block below
  re-asserts VolumeId / VolumeSize / Description.
- harness.EnsureSnapshot now takes SnapshotSpec{VolumeID, Description}
  so callers can pin a description (snapshot_test asserts on it). Memo
  key includes description hash so distinct-description calls do not
  silently collide on the volumeID prefix.

* refactor(e2e/single): isolate IAM stage E via parent-scoped cleanup [skip ci]

Bead 3g of e2e-single-fixture-migration.

- harness.Fixture: add RegisterCleanup helper that wraps fx.parent.Cleanup
  so test code can register parent-scoped teardown for resources created
  outside ensureOnce (IAM users / policies threaded across phase
  subtests). Registering on the calling subtest would tear down before
  the next dependent phase ran.
- phaseIAM1_UserCRUD: register parent-cleanup for alice/bob/charlie.
- phaseIAM4_PolicyCRUD: register parent-cleanup for the 5 test policies.
- IAM stage no longer relies solely on phaseIAM7 to clean up after a
  mid-stage failure; phase 7 still runs and now serves as an idempotent
  post-cleanup assertion.

No new Ensure* helper: IAM resources have no memoization story (users
and policies are test subjects, secrets only returned once on create).
IAM phases also have no EC2 prereqs, so EnsureDefaultVPC / EnsureInstance
are not applicable here.

* refactor(e2e/single): drop dead Fixture fields after Ensure* migration [skip ci]

First half of bead 3h. Removes per-phase Fixture fields with zero
remaining readers after bead 3a-3g:

- DefaultVPCID / DefaultSGID / DefaultSubnetID: superseded by
  harness.EnsureDefaultVPC (3a wired phase8b/8c/8d/5f; 3e wired phase5
  + phase8e).
- OVNAvailable: never assigned anywhere — leftover from the bash port.

Phase fields still in use (AMIID, InstanceID, IAM*, etc.) stay until
the umbrella TestSingleNode is replaced with top-level Test* + package-
level fixture singleton in the second half of 3h.

* refactor(e2e): add process-mode Fixture + TestMain singleton infra [skip ci]

Second half of bead 3h. Lands the infrastructure required to dismantle
the TestSingleNode umbrella in a follow-up bead, without changing the
umbrella body today.

harness.Fixture changes:
- NewProcessFixture(aws) builds a Fixture with no *testing.T parent.
  Cleanup callbacks queue on an internal LIFO drained by Close() —
  intended to be invoked from TestMain after m.Run(). Lets a singleton
  fixture span every top-level Test* in a package.
- Existing NewFixture(t, aws) unchanged; cleanups still route via
  t.Cleanup. registerCleanup() and logf() helpers fork on parent==nil
  so ensureOnce and RegisterCleanup work in either mode.
- TestProcessFixture_CloseRunsCleanupsLIFO covers Close ordering,
  one-shot semantics, and the no-op second-Close path.

single/main_test.go additions:
- TestMain owns process-level lifecycle: drains pkgFix.Harness.Close()
  and removes pkgFix.TmpDir after m.Run().
- requireSingleNodeFixture(t) returns the package-scoped singleton,
  building it lazily on first call. Skips when SPINIFEX_E2E is unset
  or mode != single; fails on construction error. Currently
  unreferenced — TestSingleNode keeps its own per-test Fixture for
  now. The helper exists so the follow-up bead (per-phase top-level
  Test* migration) has a stable API to call from day one.

Deferred to follow-up bead: extract Phase 4 AMI-name discovery + Phase
2 InstanceType/AZ selection into harness helpers so each phase function
can self-bootstrap, then promote phase subtests to top-level Test* and
delete the TestSingleNode umbrella.

* fix(e2e/harness): EnsureDefaultVPC filter name is-default not isDefault

Daemon rejects the camelCase `isDefault` form with 400
InvalidParameterValue. AWS CLI / DiscoverDefaultVPC use `is-default`.

Surfaced as Phase 5_LaunchInstance fatal in CI run 26140908505 —
cascade-failed every downstream phase that needed fix.InstanceID.

* fix(e2e/single): phase8 8j/8k probe fix.KeyName not hardcoded test-key-1

Bead 3c migrated phase 3 to harness.EnsureKeyPair which produces a
scratch-suffixed name (e2e-key-<random>), not the literal "test-key-1"
the bash port used. 8j_CreateKeyPairDuplicate / 8k_ImportKeyPairDuplicate
kept the old name and so created a fresh key pair instead of triggering
InvalidKeyPair.Duplicate — surfaced as the only two FAILs in CI run
26143227369 (everything else green after the EnsureDefaultVPC fix).

Read fix.KeyName (set by phase3_KeyPairs) so the probe hits the staged
primary key. Header comments updated to match.

make preflight diff-coverage against origin/dev fails at 57.9% due to
unrelated commits inherited from the recent rebase onto
feat/e2e-go-harness; against the fork base the diff is 0 instrumentable
lines (test-only change).

* refactor(e2e/single): dismantle TestSingleNode umbrella, per-phase self-bootstrap

mulga-siv-121. Each phase from run-e2e.sh now runs as a top-level Test*
in tests/e2e/single, runnable in isolation via `go test -run TestX`.

Highlights:
* TestSingleNode umbrella removed. Phase ordering dropped — each Test*
  self-bootstraps prerequisites through harness.Ensure*/harness.Discover*
  + the new package-local need*/iamEnsure* helpers.
* Fixture shrunk to {Env, AWS, Harness, Artifacts, TmpDir, PoolMode}.
  Every per-phase resource ID now lives on harness.Fixture via
  EnsureKeyPair/EnsureAMI/EnsureDefaultVPC/EnsureInstance/etc.
* TestMain owns the package singleton Fixture; harness.Fixture.Close
  drains every cleanup at process exit. phase9 + phase9a (in-line
  teardown) deleted; phase9b retained as TestFinalClusterStats.
* IAM Test* share state via sync.Once-gated helpers in
  iam_helpers_test.go (alice/bob/charlie users + keys + admin account).
* New harness/discover.go: DiscoverDefaultAZ, DiscoverNanoInstanceType,
  DiscoverUbuntuAMI — memoized on the Fixture and routed through
  EnsureAMI so any Test* can resolve them without phase coupling.
* New tests_test.go: descriptive top-level Test* wrappers
  (TestVPCSubnetE2E, TestKeyPairs, TestSnapshotLifecycle, …) that
  delegate to phaseN_X(t, requireSingleNodeFixture(t)).

* test(e2e/reboot): SSH as ec2-user, dump unit + network-online state

spinifex's cloud-init template hardcodes Username="ec2-user"
(handlers/ec2/instance/service_impl.go:1218) regardless of AMI,
so even on Ubuntu the SSH-injectable account is ec2-user, not
ubuntu. Switch the diag SSH-in to ec2-user so we actually get
in (was "Permission denied (publickey)").

Add diagnostics to distinguish the two leading post-reboot
hypotheses: (a) viperblock write loss = unit file gone vs
(b) network-online.target never fires = unit stuck on
After=network-online.target. New dumps: unit file content +
enable symlink, network-online.target status, networkctl,
ip addr / route, prior-boot journal grep for the responder.

* fix(e2e/single): resolve admin account ID before TestIAM7 deletes alice

iamEnsureAdminAccountID probes via GetUser(alice). TestIAM7_Cleanup
deleted alice/bob/charlie first, then called the helper at line 808 —
NoSuchEntity if IAM7 was the first IAM test to run (no memoized
account ID). Move the call above the deletion loop.
