Ben Duncan c4f92608e1 fix: let the OCI principal topology pick a shape its tenancy has quota for (#1185)
Service limits are per tenancy. vm-single-principal now builds in its own, so
the shape the other topologies share can have zero quota there, and the apply
then fails before anything about the instance principal is exercised.

Measured in ours: standard-e6-core-count is 0 available, against 13 for e5 and
10 for standard3. The first principal run died on 400-LimitExceeded for Core
Instance, which reads as a capacity problem and is a shape with no quota.

OCI_PRINCIPAL_SHAPE overrides it for that topology alone and defaults to the
shape every other topology uses, so nothing changes where quota already exists.

Ben Duncan 8409799cbf fix: default the OCI helper to the DEFAULT profile (#1174)
* fix: default the OCI helper to the DEFAULT profile

oci_env.py shipped our own internal Oracle compartment profile as the default for
every reader, with a second internal name as a fallback.
A fresh tenancy's config holds only `[DEFAULT]`, so the shipped default was a name
nobody else can have, and the fallback chain could land a deployment in whichever
tenancy a different profile happened to point at.

The profile is now `DEFAULT`, overridable by `OCI_CLI_PROFILE` or `--profile`, and a
named profile the config does not hold is an error rather than a fallback.
`DEFAULT` needs its own existence test, because configparser treats it as the
fallback for every other section and `has_section` denies it exists even when
`oci setup config` wrote nothing else.

`eip-move-test.sh` and the config table in the README carried the same name.
CI reads its credential from the environment rather than from a profile, so nothing
there referenced it.

* docs: look the OCI compartment OCID up by name

The guide asked the reader to paste `ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxx` three times, and
the `oci` CLI it already requires can resolve the name instead.

The lookup needs its own check. `oci iam compartment list --query ... | [0]` exits 0
and prints nothing when the name matches nothing, so an unset `$CID` would otherwise
reach Terraform and fail with an OCI error naming neither the compartment nor the
cause.

Two compartments in one tenancy can share a name, which the listing command shows
and the lookup cannot resolve, so the paste form stays as the answer for that case.
Records why the tenancy root is the wrong value: the step 2.1 policy is scoped to
whatever `$CID` holds.

* Revert "docs: look the OCI compartment OCID up by name"

This reverts commit 5443149cce.

* Reapply "docs: look the OCI compartment OCID up by name"

This reverts commit 1535d94c8a.

* fix: stop validate-topology.sh failing on macOS bash

`tf_principal_var` is empty on every run that does not pass `--instance-principal`,
and bash before 4.4 treats `"${arr[@]}"` on an empty array as an unbound variable
under `set -u`.
macOS ships bash 3.2, so the documented deployment command aborted at the tf_vars
assembly with `tf_principal_var[@]: unbound variable` before building anything.

Assigning the array was not enough, which is why the earlier `HOSTS=()` fix did not
cover this: the error is in the expansion, not the reference.
Both sites now expand only behind a length test, which is valid on every version.

`capture_journals` had the same shape for `HOSTS`, reachable when a run fails before
the apply.

Reproduced and fixed against bash 3.2.57 in a container, which emits the identical
message, and the script now runs to the terraform call on 3.2 for vm-single,
vm-single-principal and `--instance-principal`, including the `--keep` cleanup path
with no hosts.

* docs: record the bash 3.x requirement in the OCI scripts

These three are the scripts the OCI guide tells an operator to run, and macOS ships
bash 3.2, so a bash 4 construct in any of them breaks a deployment rather than a
test.
The constraint has now been rediscovered twice, through declare -A and mapfile, and
then through an empty array expanded under set -u.

Names the three traps at the top of each file so the next change does not have to
find them by failing on someone's Mac.

* fix: stream the workbook suite instead of hiding it in a file

The nine workbooks ran with stdout redirected to `workbooks.log`, so a run wedged
inside one printed nothing until the whole suite finished.
A CI job then sat silent for hours with no way to tell which workbook it was in, or
whether it was working at all.

The output is now teed, so the file the per-workbook table is parsed from is
unchanged while the run is visible live.
Each of the driver's own RUN/PASS/FAIL lines is stamped with elapsed seconds and the
workbook name, which is what identifies the slow one without reading the log.

`pipefail` carries the ssh exit status through the pipe, so a failed suite still
takes the branch that records the table and captures the journals.

* fix: grant the OCI policy the subnet verb AssignPrivateIP requires

An OCI node with a pool-mode external interface formed, reported healthy, and
then refused every launch wanting a public address with a 404
NotAuthorizedOrNotFound from AssignPrivateIP.

AssignPrivateIP calls CreatePrivateIp, which Oracle documents as needing
PRIVATE_IP_CREATE, PRIVATE_IP_ASSIGN, VNIC_ASSIGN and SUBNET_ATTACH, and
DeletePrivateIp as needing SUBNET_DETACH.
The policy granted use vnics, manage private-ips and manage public-ips, and no
subnet permission at all, so SUBNET_ATTACH was never held.
Only the subnets use verb carries it.

Measured on a live node as the instance principal: GetVnic and ListPrivateIps
succeed, GetSubnet and CreatePrivateIp both 404.
Authentication, the dynamic group's matching rule and the compartment were all
correct, so the credential was authentic and unauthorised.
The documented operator policy for the API-key route carried the same three
statements, so neither credential route could allocate.

A node now proves its own credential at pool start by making one read in each
permission class, and logs the missing verb if one fails.
The topology gate waited for "resolved the external VNIC", which comes from the
metadata service and needs no IAM policy, so an unauthorised node passed the
gate and failed an hour later inside a workbook as capacity.
It now waits for the authorisation line and fails immediately on a refusal.

Reads rather than a real assign-and-release round trip: a round trip also fails
on a full subnet, and reporting that as an authorisation fault sends an operator
to IAM for a capacity problem.

* docs: say what a principal run costs in a tenancy with no dynamic group

No principal topology can pass there, and the only previous hint was one clause
about OCI_INSTANCE_PRINCIPAL needing the group to exist.

* test: cover the subnet read and the authorisation verdict

Diff coverage was 39.1% against a 60% gate. Three of the four gaps were real.

GetSubnet on the SDK-backed client had no test, so the request shape was
unverified: addressing the collection rather than one subnet by OCID would
answer from a different permission and report a credential as working when it is
not. Also pins that a sparse body is not an error and that the unauthorised 404
arrives as ErrNotFound, which is what stops the check retrying a verdict that
will never change.

The fake's GetSubnet was exercised only from the ocinet tests, and coverage is
recorded per package under test, so it read as zero-covered.

reportAuthorisation now has a test asserting the exact log text, because
validate-topology.sh greps for it and a rename would quietly turn the gate into
one that never fires.

The six lines still uncovered are inside FromPoolConfig, which needs a live
JetStream to reach. Diff coverage 87.0%.

* fix: refuse a run whose tfvars file contradicts the compartment it was given

Terraform ranks *.auto.tfvars above TF_VAR_*, so a leftover file wins silently
over an operator targeting a different tenancy by environment, and the guide
tells every operator to write one.

Hit for real: a stale terraform.auto.tfvars naming a different tenancy's
compartment and a bare-metal shape overrode TF_VAR_compartment_ocid, and the
plan was for 11 resources in a compartment nobody had chosen. Only a dry run
caught it.

The run now stops and names both values rather than building.

* fix: collect orphaned OCI public IPs and name the limit that was hit

A reserved public IP attached to nothing is on no VNIC, so the reconcile
that exists to find leaked addresses could not see the ones that matter.
It also ran only at startup, while an address is leaked on release and on
teardown. Twenty accumulated in one compartment and exhausted the
tenancy's limit of 50, after which every launch needing a public address
aborted.

Reconcile now lists reserved public IPs in the compartment and collects
those that carry our prefix, are attached to nothing, are named by no
binding and are older than a grace period. All four are needed: an
allocated but unassociated Elastic IP is detached too and is the
customer's to keep, and a young detached address is what another node's
CreatePublicIP looks like until it attaches. A pool with no binding
record is not swept at all, since that is indistinguishable from a store
that cannot be read.

The pass now repeats on a ticker rather than running once at startup.

Both OCI ceilings also resolved to InsufficientAddressCapacity, which
tells an operator the region is out of addresses when the fix is to
release addresses they already hold. AWS separates them, so a tenancy out
of reserved public IPs is now AddressLimitExceeded and a full VNIC is
PrivateIpAddressLimitExceeded.

* feat: run the OCI principal e2e in a tenancy that can hold its dynamic group

vm-single-principal needs the tenancy's dynamic group, and creating one is a
tenancy-root write that a shared test tenancy does not grant us. The topology
could never pass there however correct the code was, so it now takes its own
credential from OCI_PRINCIPAL_*, all six or none. A partial set is refused
before the build rather than at the apply, because it would build one tenancy's
instances against another's compartment. With none set the topology is recorded
SKIPPED instead of spending a provision to fail.

The sweep takes the same credential, or a leftover principal deployment is
destroyed against a tenancy that never held it and reported clean.

Two defects found while proving it:

--dry-run reported FAIL on every topology with a tree source, because the dry
run skips the build and then refuses the tarball it would have produced. The
flag operators are told to run first could not pass.

The dry run truncated its plan to the last 30 lines, which is the outputs block.
That dropped the resource count and every compartment and shape line, so the
one check a dry run exists for could not be made from its output. It now writes
the whole plan and prints the summary.

Removing a deployment is documented as leaving public IPs behind. Spinifex
allocates them on the running node, so they are in no Terraform state and
destroy cannot see them; twenty accumulated and exhausted a tenancy's limit,
which then refused every launch in every compartment.

* fix: canonicalise the Opc-Next-Page header in the pagination test

CI's linter rejects a non-canonical header name and the local preflight does
not, so this passed here and failed there.

Ben Duncan 7c56855526 fix(oci): both credential routes in the guide, and a nightly topology that proves the principal one (#1173)
* docs(oci): offer both credential routes, and default the guide to the release

Step 2 was one route only, the scoped API key, with the instance principal
mentioned in a TIP at the end of it. It is now "2. OCI Credentials for
Spinifex" with the two routes as 2.1 and 2.2, a table to choose between them,
and the instance principal first because it leaves no key on any node.

The guide also assumed the dev branch throughout. `git switch dev` and
`--channel dev` are now an optional note for installing a pre-release, and the
documented path is the published release.

* test(oci): add a vm-single-principal topology, and cover the credential branch

Instance-principal authentication was broken for a release while the OCI
nightly stayed green, because the run's two axes never crossed: every topology
that built the address allocator authenticated with an API key, and every run
that authenticated as the instance was dispatched with no external pool, so the
allocator was never constructed and the credential never used.

vm-single-principal closes that. It is vm-single with the credential fixed by
the topology rather than by a separate switch, so the name alone decides it, and
pairing it with --no-external-pool is refused rather than run: without the
allocator there is nothing for it to exercise. It joins the nightly's default
list, and naming it alone is the way to test this one thing in a quarter of the
full run.

A unit test covers the same branch without a tenancy. newClient now reaches its
two constructors through package variables a test can swap, which is the only
way to observe the choice off an OCI instance - both real constructors need
either an instance identity or a key file on disk.

* fix(oci): let the tfvars choose the credential, and stop the guide hardcoding paths

The deploy driver passed instance_principal as a -var, which outranks a
tfvars file, so a deployment that set it there had it silently replaced with
off and the nodes went looking for a key. Same defect class as the shape and
node count, and the same fix: the flag is a choice about one run and still
outranks everything, and without it the deployment's own tfvars decides.

The driver now reads instance_principal from terraform.tfvars and
*.auto.tfvars for its pre-apply gates, taking the last assignment as Terraform
does, and checks that guess against a new Terraform output once the apply has
run. They have to agree, because the credential handoff is skipped on the
strength of it and a wrong answer leaves a node with no credential at all.

The guide now carries one export rather than two more steps. SPX_PRINCIPAL is
set in step 2.1, expanded into the tfvars step 4 already writes, and read back
from there in step 5, so an instance-principal deployment runs the same
command as a key-based one.

Getting into the node needed an address copied out of the log. Every topology
now writes its hosts file, not only the multi-node one that hands it to
install-node.sh, and the run prints the ssh and destroy commands when --keep
leaves the infrastructure up. The guide exports TOPOLOGY once, so the paths
read the same for one VM, three, or bare metal.

* fix(oci): print the ssh key path as ~ rather than expanded

The --keep line read ssh -i /home/you/.ssh/oci-spx, which is the invoking
user's home and differs on every machine. Collapsed to ~ when the key is under
$HOME, left alone when it is not.

Ben Duncan 9a8b63b127 fix(oci): run the deploy driver on the bash macOS ships, and finish the guide at the handoff (#1168)
* fix(oci): run the deploy driver on the bash macOS ships

`validate-topology.sh` died on line 41 with `bm: unbound variable` on a Mac. macOS
ships bash 3.2, where `declare -A` is an indexed assignment and the subscript is
read as an arithmetic expression, so `[bm]` dereferenced an unset variable and
`set -u` ended the run. `mapfile` further down would have failed next.

The guide names macOS as a supported workstation, so the driver now uses neither:
the per-topology defaults are a `case` in a function, and the host list is a read
loop over a captured string. The output is captured before the loop so a failed
`terraform output` fails there rather than silently producing an empty host list.

Verified: all three topologies resolve their shape and node count, and an unknown
topology still names the valid set.

* docs(oci): end the OCI deploy where the install guides end

The deploy command now carries --skip-workload, so the guide stops at a formed
cluster and a working AWS call rather than at a workbook run, and hands off to
Setting Up Your Cluster the way every other install guide does. A step to SSH to
the node was missing between the deploy and the verification call.

Three things this corrects while the section was open. The expected output block
now matches the command it documents, including the --skip-workload line that
ends the run. The --channel dev callout said OCI support was missing from the
deploy driver, when what is missing is an OCI address allocator in a published
release. The verification output was fenced as json while holding a shell
session, which is neither valid json nor the thing being shown.

The note on probing a guest's public address from outside the VCN moves to the
handoff section, since that is now where a guest first gets launched.

Ben Duncan 7d190fc1f1 fix(oci): let terraform.auto.tfvars decide the shape and the node count (#1167)
`validate-topology.sh` passed the topology's shape and node count as `-var`,
which is the strongest source Terraform reads, so a `compute_shape` or
`node_count` in `terraform.auto.tfvars` was silently discarded. The OCI guide
told the reader to write both into that file and then to run the driver, so a
deployment asking for `VM.Standard.E5.Flex` got `VM.Standard.E6.Flex` and said
nothing about it. Three of the five shapes the guide recommends were unreachable
by the command it gives, including both bare-metal ones other than the shape CI
happens to use.

They now go in as `TF_VAR_compute_shape` and `TF_VAR_node_count`, the weakest
source, so the tfvars file wins and a deployment needs no flag to size itself.
CI is unaffected: `*.auto.tfvars` is gitignored, so a runner's checkout holds no
such file and a named topology still resolves to the same values every run.
`instance_principal` stays a `-var`, because `--instance-principal` is a choice
about the run rather than about the infrastructure's size and a stale tfvars must
not quietly contradict it.

Because the count can now come from the file, the driver no longer presumes it.
The number of addresses in the `hosts_file` output is the authority for the
single-node init path and the readiness gate, a divergence from the topology's
default is logged rather than fatal, and a new `compute_shape` output lets the run
report the shape it built instead of the one it asked for.

In the guide: the tfvars heredoc is unquoted so `$CID` expands, with a `grep` to
confirm it did, and `node_client_cidr_allow_list` is bracketed, since it is a
`list(string)` and the bare CIDR was an HCL syntax error.

Ben Duncan 4fbde4a665 docs(oci): ship the credential installer, and rewrite both OCI guides in the house voice (#1166)
* docs(oci): rewrite both OCI guides in the house voice

Seventy-five em dashes across the two guides, with four of them in headings where GitHub and the docs site slugify them differently and a cross-link resolves on neither. Recast as commas, colons and separate sentences.

The silent-credential failure was stated five times as the same triple, "forms, passes every health check, and then refuses every launch". It now reads in full once, under Credentials, and the other four refer back to it instead of echoing the skeleton.

Also broken up: the parallel stack in "Why run Spinifex on OCI", several five-sentence paragraphs, and a handful of clauses that leaned on a dash where a full stop was clearer.

No technical content changed. Every inline-code token is byte-identical before and after, every fenced block is unchanged apart from one comment line, and the four reworded headings carry no inbound anchor links. The docs build reports zero warnings for either page and both render at the same size as before.

* docs(oci): open the install guide with what Spinifex is, as the other install guides do

* docs(oci): ship the credential installer instead of asking for a hook

The guide told the reader to write their own executable to put the OCI API key
on each node, which is work nobody should have to do to install a product, and
the step was unclear about where the scoping actually happens.

`scripts/terraform/oci-spx/spx-oci-config.sh` now does it. It takes
`validate-topology.sh`'s hook contract, `hook <ssh-key> <host>...`, so it drops
straight into `--credential-hook` and is also runnable on its own against an
existing cluster.

It resolves the credential in four steps and takes the first complete one: the
`OCI_SPX_*` environment variables, the `[spinifex]` profile in `~/.oci/config`,
`~/.oci/oci_api_key_spx.pem` with the Terraform profile's identifiers, then the
Terraform credential itself with a warning that it is wider than the allocator
needs. Steps 2 to 4 go through `scripts/oci_env.py`, the same resolver the apply
uses, so the credential on the nodes and the one that built the infrastructure
cannot come from different profiles. The fingerprint is checked against the key
before anything is written, because a mismatched pair is otherwise an OCI 401 at
the first allocation, long after the deploy has reported success.

The node's filename stays `oci_api_key.pem` while the workstation's is
`oci_api_key_spx.pem`: the suffix exists only to keep the Spinifex key off
whatever `[DEFAULT]` uses, and a node has no other OCI key. Nothing reads the
name anyway, since the daemon learns the path from `key_file` inside
`/etc/spinifex/oci/config`.

Key material reaches the nodes over SSH, in the remote shell's stdin rather than
its arguments where `ps` would expose it, and goes into neither user-data nor
Terraform state. `--credential-hook` still accepts any executable with that
argument shape, so a tenancy that keeps credentials in a vault can substitute
its own.

Also in the guide: the policy statements name the compartment by `compartment
id` rather than by name, which is the form that resolves from a compartment the
policy is not attached at; `$CID` is consistently a compartment OCID; and the
table of contents matches the headings again.

Ben Duncan 46c0c44cc2 feat: run every Terraform workbook on OCI, and split the guide in two (#1163)
* feat: run every Terraform workbook on OCI, and split the guide in two

The OCI topology driver ran the shared driver's default five workbooks, which left ECS and all three EKS variants untested on every platform even though their assertions already existed. It now passes an explicit nine and imports the three appliance images they need — RDS, ECS and EKS each boot their own, found by a spinifex:managed-by tag and never by name.

demo-app stays out because it is not a workbook: it has no .tf at all, being the container image the EKS workbooks' nested workloads modules deploy, so listing it would fail on a missing root module rather than test anything.

The guide is now two documents. oci-integration/README.md is the end-user path — six steps, deploy first, and it closes the three prerequisites nothing documented before: the clone, the ref, and the SSH keypair the driver refuses to start without. architecture.md holds the sizing, the IAM policy, every variable, the three filtering layers and the troubleshooting.

Its firewall advice was also backwards. node_client_cidr_allow_list is an OCI security-list rule over the whole public subnet, and a guest's public address is a secondary private IP on the node's own VNIC, so narrowing it to the operator's address cuts internet ingress to every guest rather than protecting the node. The hardening section now arms the nft policy and narrows SSH through custom.nft, which is the layer that can tell a node's listener from a guest's.

The deploy step names --channel dev rather than a pinned tag. The dev tag string grows with every cut, so a pinned example goes stale within the week.

* fix(oci): the guide could not work on a fresh tenancy, because the profile name was ours

oci_env.py bridges ~/.oci/config into TF_VAR_* — the provider takes the tenancy, user, fingerprint, key and region as Terraform variables and reads no config file itself — but the profile it looked for was the reference tenancy's, and validate-topology.sh passed no way to change it. A fresh account's config holds [DEFAULT], so every deploy would have stopped at "OCI profile 'apacanzset03child03' was not found" before building anything.

The profile is now resolved as --oci-profile, then $OCI_CLI_PROFILE, then the reference tenancy, then DEFAULT. A name passed explicitly and absent is an error listing the profiles present, never a fallback: the failure worth preventing is building a cluster in whichever tenancy happened to be first. The reference tenancy still outranks DEFAULT, so existing runs are unchanged, and CI is untouched because it takes the environment route rather than a profile.

has_profile exists because configparser treats DEFAULT as the fallback for every other section rather than as a section, so has_section denies it exists even when it is the only thing in the file — which made the first version of this fallback do nothing for exactly the case it was written for.

Three documentation corrections found while checking the guide against the code. The IAM policy is ten operations and needs "use vnics", not "read vnics": registering a secondary private IP is an operation on a VNIC, so OCI checks VNIC_ASSIGN, which lives in the use verb, and with read the node forms and looks healthy and every allocation fails NotAuthorizedOrNotFound. These are now the same three statements instance-principal.tf grants, which is the only version of the policy that has been exercised.

The guide also promised a worked example of the credential hook that does not exist and should not: nothing here distributes a credential. It now states the contract instead — the argument shape, the two files, and that a non-zero exit stops the deploy before anything is built. And the dev channel's rate limit is documented with the tag as its remedy, rather than left in the driver's help where a reader will not see it.

* fix(ci): a failing workbook's log never reached the artifact, so only the runner had it

run-tofu-examples-e2e.sh writes its assertion output to the per-topology workbooks.log in the state directory. "Sweep anything left behind" deletes those directories and runs before "Upload the run", so the upload's three oci-state/.validate-* patterns matched nothing and said so to nobody. The first nine-workbook run lost the one thing it was dispatched to find: ecs-quickstart failed on vm-single and the reason existed only on the runner, which does not resolve from a workstation.

A collect step now copies *.log, *.txt and *.tsv into the artifact directory before the sweep, prefixed by topology so two topologies cannot overwrite each other. The workflow already records that "Publish the result tables" sits ahead of the sweep for this reason; the logs were simply never given the same treatment.

The dead patterns are removed rather than left. A path that cannot match is worse than no path, because it reads as protection that is present — which applies to the credential-hook exclusion too: it now lives in the collect step, which is the only thing that writes into the artifact tree, so the file cannot reach an artifact rather than being filtered out of one.

* fix(ci): a state directory kept the last run's logs, and the artifact published them as this run's

Collecting the per-topology logs surfaced the next defect immediately: a vm-single-only run produced an artifact holding bm-workbooks.log and nine vm-multi node logs, because those state directories still held the previous run's output. Anyone reading that artifact would conclude three topologies ran when one did, which is worse than the missing log it replaced.

Two causes, one each side. validate-topology.sh never cleared its own logs, so a topology's directory accumulated them; it now removes *.log, nodes.txt and cloudinit-*.txt as it starts, before the first line of the new run, and never the tfstate, which is how the sweep finds hosts to destroy. The globs are named rather than a find, so what goes is readable at a glance, and :? stops the shell instead of expanding to /*.log if STATE_DIR is ever unset.

That alone does not cover a topology the run skipped, whose directory is never entered. So the collect step now takes only the topologies this run drove, read back from the per-topology log the harness writes rather than from the dispatch input -- a run that names no topology gets the harness's default, and reading that here would be a second copy of the list to disagree with the first.

Also proved by this: ecs-quickstart passes on a freshly built vm-single, 172s, where it failed at 293s as the seventh of nine. The failure is order or load dependent on one 32 GB node, not a property of the workbook.

* fix(ci): a failed workbook run left no node journal, so the cause was unreadable

The workbook log says which API call failed; only the journal says why, and the
nodes are destroyed minutes later. An IAM teardown failure on the nightly came
down to one swallowed warning that existed nowhere else, and by the time the
artifact was read the host it was logged on had been torn down.

Warnings and above first, since that is where a swallowed error surfaces, then a
bounded tail for context. Unbounded, a multi-hour suite's journal would dwarf the
rest of the artifact. The existing state-directory clear keeps these from going
stale between runs, and the collect step already globs *.log.

Ben Duncan c6841ce1f0 feat(oci): separate using an instance principal from creating one (#1157)
* feat(oci): separate using an instance principal from creating one

The allocator needs OCI credentials at runtime, and a node with none forms,
passes every health check, then refuses every launch wanting a public address.
Instance principal is the credential route that puts no key material on a node,
but it needs a dynamic group and a policy, and those are tenancy-root resources
the compartment-scoped user the rest of the configuration runs as cannot create.

enable_instance_principal conflated the two, so the better credential route was
only reachable by a tenancy admin. instance_principal now takes off, adopt or
create: adopt selects the credential and creates nothing, because the matching
rule covers the whole compartment and so names no instance to reference.

setup-identity.sh owns the create case, with its own state. validate-topology.sh
destroys its state at the end of every run, so holding tenancy resources there
would let a teardown delete the tenancy's policy.

Also package install-node.sh and smoke-test.sh, so a cluster can be formed from
a curl | bash install with no checkout. smoke-test.sh is not optional: formation
scp's it from its own directory for the post-formation verification.

* feat(oci): take the credential handoff from an operator hook, and widen the workflow name

An API-key deployment needs a credential on each node, and nothing in this
repository can supply one: a key in user-data is readable from instance metadata
for the life of the instance, and this host runs other people's guests. A manual
install does not survive either, because a topology destroys itself on success.

So the harness calls an operator-owned executable after formation and before the
pool, the only window where a node has /etc/spinifex and has not started the
allocator. Instance principal needs no handoff, so the hook is skipped there.

The workflow is renamed for the vendors it will cover rather than the first one.
Nothing is orphaned in the Actions UI: it has never been on the default branch
and has never run, so there is no history attached to the old filename.

* docs(oci): the API-key path needs the config file, not just the PEM

oci_config_file names an ordinary OCI SDK config and nothing creates it, so a node
holding only the key forms and then fails every allocation with no stated cause.

* fix(ci): the runner context is not available in a job-level env block

A workflow referencing it there is rejected before any job starts, which is why
the rename produced a failed run attributed to the push. The reference had never
been validated: a dispatch-only workflow that is never dispatched is never parsed.

* fix(deps): bump containerd to v2.4.1 for GO-2026-6597

The image-pull DoS via crafted OCI index graph amplification is reachable from the ECS agent's containerd puller, so the vulnerability scan fails preflight on v2.4.0. A patch release with no API change.

* fix(e2e): probe guest public addresses from outside the cloud's own network

A VCN does not reflect its own public addresses back into itself, so a node asking for one gets nothing however well the datapath works. The workbook driver runs on the first node, so every assertion that curls or SSHes a guest's public address failed on OCI against a cluster that was serving those addresses correctly to the internet.

The driver now takes E2E_PUBLIC_PROXY, a SOCKS5 proxy used for public addresses only, and validate-topology.sh supplies one with a remote dynamic forward on the connection that launches the driver. Egress is then the host running the validation, which is outside the VCN and is where a customer sits. Unset leaves every other platform on a direct probe, which is already correct there.

Also adds --version TAG for a repeatable install, separates the workflow's auth choice from its external-pool choice so an API key can run with the allocator live, and captures allocator diagnostics before the teardown destroys them.

* ci: read the Go version from go.mod in the release workflows

Both pinned 1.27.0 by hand while every other workflow reads the file, so the toolchain they build with drifts from the one the module declares the day go.mod moves. release.yml was already inconsistent with itself: its second setup-go step reads spinifex/go.mod.

* feat: publish the OCI topology results as tables on the run page

A green tick on one job with 4,000 lines of log behind it is confidence for
whoever wrote the harness and nothing to anybody else. Someone assessing whether
Spinifex works on their cloud should be able to see that it formed and served
guests on a single VM, on three VMs and on bare metal without opening a log.

record now takes <gate> <status> [detail] and writes results.tsv beside the
human block, so a gate's status is a field the script sets rather than a regex
over prose that reads fine and matches wrong. record_workbooks turns the
driver's own go-test-shaped lines into workbooks.tsv, and runs on the failing
branch too: which four passed is most of what the fifth failing means.

e2e-oci.sh --summary-only renders both tables to stdout and to
GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, and the workflow calls it under always() before the sweep,
because the sweep destroys the state directories the tables are read from. A
skipped gate gets its own mark, and a topology that never ran says so: the one
way a results table can do real harm is a reader taking an absent row for a
passing one.

* docs(oci): cut the deploy-by-hand appendix, and validate the config for real

The appendix was 444 of 1014 lines restating an install the Terraform already
does, which made the document read as though deploying by hand were a normal
route. It is not: the configuration builds the VCN, the volumes and both VNICs
per node and renders the cloud-init, in the same order every time. What is
genuinely OCI-specific is four things, each of which already has a section, so
the replacement names those and sends everyone else to the single-node and
multi-node install guides.

Verify end to end told the reader to ping a guest's public address from the
host, which cannot work: a VCN does not route its own public addresses back into
itself. That is the finding this branch is built on and the document was
asserting the opposite. It now says where to probe from and why, and carries the
allocator's `resolved the external VNIC` check, which existed only in the cut
appendix and is the one line proving the credentials and compartment are right.

`spx config validate` is not a command -- spx has admin, get, service, top and
version -- so that line could only ever fail and its output and status were both
discarded. It is replaced by parsing the TOML, which is what was wanted: the
remap and the pool append are textual edits, and a broken result would otherwise
surface as every service failing to start with nothing saying why. The remap now
checks its own substitution count for the same reason, since re.sub with no
match rewrites the file unchanged and exits 0.

Publication of the run-page tables moves to one owner. GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY is
per step, so appending from the run as well as the publish step would have put
two copies of every table on the run page.

* fix(oci): check the credential hook before building anything

The hook is a path from a CI variable, and whether it exists on the runner is
knowable before Terraform runs. Checked where it was used, a wrong path cost the
apply, the install and the formation first -- forty minutes and a bare-metal bill
to be told a file is missing. Nothing about the check depends on the apply, so it
moves to the top, where --dry-run reaches it too.

* fix(oci): the summary must say what was built and what was not tested

The first CI run headed its tables "Published release `latest channel`" over a
build of a feature branch, which is the one error in a results table that would
mislead a reader who trusted it. The header now states a tree build as a tree
build, and names how the allocator authenticated.

A run with no external pool says so in the header rather than leaving it to a
SKIPPED row further down. Public-address allocation is the claim a green table is
most likely to be read as making, and it is exactly the claim such a run cannot
support. Both flags are passed to the publish step too, so the summary rendered
after a failure describes the same run as the one that failed.

Raise the dev prerelease prune from five to twenty. A pinned dev tag is how an
external evaluator installs a specific build, and five is about a week of them --
short enough that the tag someone was handed stops resolving while they are still
using it.

* docs(oci): the workbook table is a snapshot, and the nightly is the current answer

It is dated against a build five releases of work ago, and the nightly now runs
the same workbooks on all three topologies and publishes its own table. Say which
one to read rather than letting a stale table be taken as current.

* ci: rename to e2e-cloudvendor.yml so the sidebar entry is registered from a valid file

A workflow's displayed name is captured when GitHub first registers it and is not
refreshed afterwards. Both OCI entries were registered from a run that could not
be parsed -- a job-level env block referencing runner.temp -- so both list as
their path, which reads as a missing name: key and is not one. The 2026-10-02 run
was green on all three topologies and the entry still read as a path, with
updated_at unchanged from the broken first run, so fixing the file is necessary
and not sufficient.

A new path is a new registration, and its first run reads a valid file. Dropping
-nightly is also more honest: there is no schedule: here, because GitHub
registers one only from the default branch, so a cron could never run dev and a
feature branch as separate nightlies.

* Revert "ci: rename to e2e-cloudvendor.yml so the sidebar entry is registered from a valid file"

The rename makes the workflow undispatchable. `gh workflow run` resolves a
filename against the default branch, and the raw dispatch endpoint returns 404
for a path GitHub has not registered -- checked twice, several minutes apart, so
it is not an indexing delay. The old name works only because it is already
registered, and an unrunnable workflow is a worse problem than a mislabelled one.

The sidebar label needs a fresh registration, which a rename cannot provide from
a feature branch. It corrects itself when the file reaches main, where GitHub
re-reads it; the alternative is deleting the dead registrations' runs, which is an
operator's call.

* fix(ci): never publish the credential hook's output as an artifact

The hook is the operator's own executable, and the one thing known about it is
that it handles a private key. Its stdout and stderr are captured to
credential-hook.log, which the artifact's *.log glob was collecting into a
downloadable archive with a fourteen-day retention.

Excluded rather than trusted to have been quiet. A hook that prints its key once
while someone is debugging it should not thereby publish it.

* fix(oci): the hairpin probe measured nothing on one node, and claimed too much

With a single host, HOSTS[0] and HOSTS[-1] are the same address, so the node
connected to itself -- which always succeeds. It reported "present" on vm-single
and bm for that reason and not as a measurement. It now needs two nodes and says
so otherwise.

The claim it carried was also wrong. "A VCN does not reflect its own public
addresses back into itself" was read off a workstation run whose
node_client_cidr_allow_list was narrowed to one office address, which makes a
node's own public address a non-permitted source: the refusal that follows is
identical to an absent hairpin. With the committed 0.0.0.0/0 default the probe
reports the hairpin present between two nodes, so the original reading was
confounded and is retracted.

None of this changes the remedy. A customer reaches a guest from outside the VCN,
which is where the proxy's egress is, and probing from there is correct whichever
of the two causes is in play -- 15 of 15 workbooks pass through it on all three
topologies. What changes is what the documentation may assert: the guide now names
both causes as indistinguishable rather than stating one as fact.

* docs(oci): a reader could not run the first command, because nothing told them to clone

The guide's first code block was `cd scripts/terraform/oci-spx`, into a directory
no step had obtained. It also never mentioned the SSH keypair the driver refuses to
start without, nor that the configuration is not on main or in v1.21.0 yet, so all
three had to be inferred from the deploy failing.

Restructured so the deploy comes first and reads as four steps and one command:
get the configuration, choose one node or three, write the inputs, run it. The
credential decision stays before step 4, because it changes an argument there and a
node without one forms, looks healthy, and then refuses every launch that wants a
public address. Everything else -- why OCI, sizing, the architecture, the IAM
policy, quotas, the oci CLI, what Terraform builds, every variable -- moves under
Reference, unchanged in substance.

Adds what a successful run prints, naming `allocator ready` as the line to look for:
every line above it appears on a node that cannot allocate, and that is the one
failure the run does not announce.

Also drops an empty verdict.txt committed from a local run. The directory the guide
now tells customers to work in should not ship one run's artifacts.

Ben Duncan 70007405c1 fix(oci): install the dev channel by environment variable, not --channel (#1155)
The installer served by install.mulgadc.com is the latest release's, so it
predates the --channel flag the harness was passing and would have died with an
unknown option. Document the same form in both install guides.
2026-10-02 15:55:51 -05:00
Ben Duncan 1743b60246 feat: publish a dev channel, so cloud contacts can install dev without a release (#1154)
install.mulgadc.com has served a dev channel since it was written -- setup.sh
understands INSTALL_SPINIFEX_CHANNEL=dev and the Worker resolves it to the newest
GitHub prerelease -- but nothing ever produced one, so /download/dev/amd64
returned 404. This is the producer.

A separate workflow rather than conditionals in release.yml. A dev build is a
different artifact, not a release with flags off: amd64 only, no ISO, no system
images, no bare-metal gate, and nothing on a self-hosted runner. The sibling
repositories are taken at dev rather than their default branch, because dev of
spinifex against main of the others is a pairing nobody runs.

The tag is the describe string plus -dev, which release.yml's own convention
already treats as a prerelease, and which makes the commit recoverable from the
version alone. The flag is set at creation and then the published state is
asserted: a prerelease must never become the latest release, because latest is
what an unqualified curl | bash installs.

setup.sh gains --channel and --version so the instruction is a flag rather than
an environment variable, and the OCI harness gains OCI_CHANNEL so a nightly can
test the path the contacts are actually given.

Ben Duncan ade060f384 fix(oci): make bare metal work, remove the per-node API key, and validate all three topologies (#1146)
* fix(oci): make a bare-metal node form and mount its data volume

Bare metal presents VNICs differently from a VM: the first VNIC on a physical
port is the port, and a second one sharing that port is a tagged overlay with no
Linux device at all. The external VNIC was landing in that second slot, so no
interface ever carried it and the WAN bridge could not be built. Attach it at
nic_index 1 on a BM shape, which makes it the first VNIC on the second port and
therefore untagged and present at boot, exactly as it is on a VM.

Two consequences of that followed. The bridge script picked the first non-primary
VNIC from instance metadata, which on bare metal can be one with no interface, so
it now selects the VNIC the kernel actually has a device for and waits for that.
And OCI makes a bare-metal volume attachment multipath, where the Oracle agent
refuses to log in unless multipathd is running -- probing the unit name Debian
retired, so on Ubuntu 26.04 it never sees it. Alias the retired name and assert
the alias on every poll rather than once, because the first run had it created and
then vanish.

Finally, the three cloud-init steps become ordered systemd units. runcmd
continues past a failed step, so a node whose volume never appeared still opened
its service ports with nothing behind them; Requires= makes that impossible and
lets a boot that raced the iSCSI login retry on the next one.

* feat(oci): authenticate the address allocator as the instance principal

The OCI allocator could only authenticate from an API-key config file, so every
node needed a private key copied to it and a config file hand-written beside it.
A node without them forms, passes every health check, and then refuses every
launch that wants a public address with InsufficientAddressCapacity -- the cause
appears only in the journal.

NewInstancePrincipalClient already existed and was called from nowhere. Wire it
in behind a new oci_auth key on the pool, so a node can authenticate with the
certificate its own metadata service serves and hold no key material at all.
Nothing to copy, nothing to rotate, and nothing in Terraform state.

The reason recorded for preferring the config file was that it reads no instance
metadata, because Spinifex's own IMDS endpoints claim 169.254.169.254 and take
the cloud's metadata service with them. That no longer distinguishes the two:
oci_vnic_iface is what the guide recommends and it resolves the VNIC through a
metadata lookup already, so such a node depends on the IMDS remap either way.
The two constructors' comments also contradicted each other on which was
preferred; both now say what they cost.

config_file stays the default, because instance principal needs a dynamic group
and a policy only a tenancy admin can write. The Terraform creates both behind
enable_instance_principal, off by default for the same reason the module creates
no other tenancy-root resource, and the policy grants three verbs on vnics,
private-ips and public-ips in one compartment rather than anything broader.

Naming the method explicitly rather than inferring it is deliberate: a node meant
to use its own identity now fails at config load instead of falling back to a key
file nobody installed. Pairing oci_auth="instance_principal" with a config file
is refused for the same reason, since the certificate is already the credential
and the file would be the half silently ignored.

Terraform also stages the pool fragment on each node, which under instance
principal contains no secret at all.

* feat(oci): validate all three topologies from one script, and document both auth routes

validate-topology.sh builds one topology from nothing, installs the published
release, forms the cluster, configures the pool and the IMDS remap, runs a
workbook against it, proves the workbook actually serves traffic, and destroys
everything. Three topologies because each breaks differently: bare metal presents
VNICs unlike a VM, a single node has no Geneve underlay to get wrong, and only a
cluster exercises RAFT, the gateway chassis and cross-node allocation.

--topology has no default, deliberately. A command aimed at the wrong topology is
the easiest expensive mistake available here, and each keeps its own Terraform
state so two can be built from one checkout without either destroying the other's
instances.

The teardown decides the verdict rather than tidying up after it. A topology or a
workbook that cannot be destroyed is half proved, so destroy runs from an EXIT
trap and a teardown failure fails the run. It also checks the two things a green
apply does not: that vpcd logged resolving the external VNIC, which is the only
evidence the credentials work and br-wan matched a real VNIC, and that the load
balancer returns 200 -- a workbook can create cleanly and carry no traffic.

The guide gains the instance-principal route beside the key file, and loses its
claim that bare metal changes nothing else in the document. That claim was wrong
in exactly two places, and both are now handled rather than left to the reader:
the external VNIC's nic_index and the Oracle agent's multipath unit name. It now
also says plainly that the external-address path on bare metal is unproven.

* test(oci): let a topology be validated without an OCI credential

The external pool is the one phase that needs a key or a dynamic group, and
the VM topologies have to be regression-tested regardless. --no-external-pool
forms and verifies without it, and implies --skip-workload so the run cannot
claim a guest path it never exercised.

* test(oci): one entry point that proves a ref works on OCI, and cleans up after itself

e2e-oci.sh drives every topology from environment variables alone, so a
workstation, a Worker dispatch and e2e-oci-nightly.yml all take the same path
rather than drifting into three answers about whether OCI works.

Three things it deliberately does not do. It does not test the published
release: --distro installs the tarball built from the ref under test, because a
nightly that cannot fail on a bad commit is decoration. It does not carry its
own workbook assertions, running tests/e2e/run-tofu-examples-e2e.sh over the
published workbooks instead, so a workbook that passes on a hypervisor and fails
here is a difference in OCI. And it cannot quietly leave cloud resources
running: --sweep-only destroys whatever an earlier run's state still holds, and
it runs before the topologies, after them, and from an always() step.

The credential now reaches Terraform as a value through OCI_PRIVATE_KEY, so no
runner writes key material to disk, and oci_env.py refuses --shell on that route
because in CI stdout is the job log.

Four harness defects the first real runs exposed, each of which had been giving
a wrong answer:

  - oci_env.py announced itself on stdout, corrupting every captured
    terraform output. That is also why a single node came back as two hosts.
  - terraform output was passed -var, which it rejects, and a silent fallback
    then read the default state file instead of the topology's.
  - grep -c Ready matches NotReady, so a single-node run whose only node was
    NotReady on 0.0.0.0 reported PASS. The status column is parsed now, and
    membership is waited for rather than sampled once.
  - install-node.sh refuses fewer than two hosts, so a single node forms with
    spx admin init the way the guide documents.

Also waits for the dpkg lock: cloud-init being finished does not mean apt is.

* fix(oci): resolve mulga's path explicitly, and refuse an unpushed ref

Two assumptions in the new harness that a run would not have caught quickly.

Deriving mulga's root from spinifex's is right for a submodule checkout and
wrong for CI, where the two are siblings under the workspace, so MULGA_ROOT is
explicit and the workflow sets it.

build-install-artifacts.sh clones each repo from GitHub rather than using the
checkout beside it, and falls back to dev when the ref is not there. A nightly
on an unpushed branch would then pass or fail on dev's code while reporting the
branch. Check the ref is on origin first, and skip the Go suite build: the
workbook driver is a shell script, so those binaries prove nothing here.

* fix(oci): do not read $? after a command when set -e is on

The workbook phase read the driver's exit status on the line after the ssh that
produced it, which under set -e is never reached: a failing run aborted before
printing the driver's own per-workbook diagnostics, losing them exactly when
they are the thing you need. An `if !` keeps them, and names which workbooks
passed and which did not.

* feat: let an OCI e2e dispatch form without the external allocator

A tenancy without the nodes' dynamic group cannot authenticate the
allocator, so every topology failed at it rather than reporting what it
had proved. The no_external_pool input forms with no allocator and
records the allocator and the workbooks as SKIPPED, never PASS.

Also rebuilds the dry-run plan message imperatively: it still referenced
a variable renamed to WORKBOOKS, and under set -u the substitution died
and the text silently vanished from the line.

* fix: name the offending input when an OCI credential is unusable

A credential from the environment reached the SDK unvalidated, so a
secret with a trailing newline failed as an uncaught InvalidConfig
traceback naming an SDK config field that nobody set by that name.

Strip the scalar values, since a secret store written with echo carries
a newline, and translate both InvalidConfig and InvalidPrivateKey into
the variable or config key to go and fix.

* fix: make the OCI nightly able to build, and stop it leaking a dispatch input into the shell

Four defects, found reviewing the workflow rather than running it.

The builder clones all five sub-repos from GitHub over https and they are
all private, so a hosted runner had no credential and the tree build
could never have worked. The app token now covers six repositories and
git carries it for our organisation only.

A dispatch input was interpolated into a run block, where a quote ends
the string and the remainder executes. It goes through the environment
now, which is the only place a caller-supplied value belongs.

The artifact upload took the whole directory, which meant the distro
tarball and the test archive, and would have taken terraform.tfstate had
the state directories sat under it. It is a named list now, and it also
collects the per-topology logs that were never uploaded at all.

* fix: make the OCI nightly's runner a setting, and stop widening the app token

The five sub-repos are public, so build-install-artifacts.sh clones them
without a credential and the token has no reason to reach them. Only
mulga is private, which is what it was scoped to before.

The runner is now inputs.runner, then the OCI_E2E_RUNNER variable, then
hosted. A per-provider self-hosted agent is a reasonable thing to want --
it lifts the six-hour cap a hosted job carries and keeps a long cloud
wait off the hypervisor labels -- and it should not need a workflow edit.

Removing the SSH key is load bearing on that path: a self-hosted runner
keeps $HOME between jobs, so the key would sit there between nightlies.

* fix: install the OCI SDK the harness needs, and keep state out of the checkout

Nothing installed the oci Python module, on any runner: validate-topology.sh
called bare python3 and oci_env.py imports oci, so every topology would have
failed at the first terraform call. The harness now uses a system python3 that
has it and otherwise builds its own virtualenv from requirements.txt, which is
the same behaviour on a workstation, a hosted runner and a self-hosted one.

The state directories move under OCI_STATE_ROOT, defaulting to the script
directory. A persistent runner needs them outside the checkout, because
actions/checkout wipes untracked files there and would remove the state of a
killed run before the sweep could read it, leaving OCI instances running that
nothing is able to find.

* fix: drop the OCI SDK dependency, so the harness runs on any host

python3-venv is not installed on banksia, and the harness needed it: the
environment helper re-executed itself from a virtualenv to import the OCI
SDK. It used the SDK for two things -- parsing an INI file, which
configparser already does, and discovering the tenancy home region, which
no Terraform file consumed. Neither justifies a dependency on every host
that runs this, so the helper is standard library only now.

The credential is checked for shape instead, locally and before any OCI
call, which is a better failure than a 401 forty seconds into a run.

Two things the removal uncovered. The home region is a fixed property of
a tenancy rather than something to rediscover every run, so it is
OCI_HOME_REGION. And OCI serves IAM writes from the home region while the
dynamic group and policy were using the default provider for the build
region, which would have failed when the tenancy applied them: they go
through an aliased provider that defaults to the build region, so a
tenancy whose home region is where it builds sees no change.

Ben Duncan 7163f7d62d feat(oci): run Spinifex on Oracle Cloud, and fix the public-address and NAT gateway lifecycle (#1108)
* feat: ship uninstall-spx.sh and fix the OCI bring-up path

Adds scripts/uninstall-spx.sh, the inverse of setup.sh: it removes the
software where node-reset.sh clears state and leaves the node installed. An
operator who installed with `curl ... | bash` had no teardown path at all.
State teardown is delegated to node-reset.sh rather than reimplemented, and
setup.sh now ships both to /usr/local/share/spinifex so they are reachable
without a checkout.

It refuses on a multi-node cluster and --yes does not override that: a flag
meaning "don't ask me" must not also mean "ignore a safety property".
/var/lib/spinifex and every apt package are kept unless asked for, and both
opt-ins confirm separately even under --yes.

Proved by a full uninstall/reinstall round trip on dev-oci, which found two
bugs neither prod nor dev-prod can reach, because both are ISO-installed:

node-reset.sh exited 2, silently, at its last step and after the wipe.
setup.sh creates the spinifex *group* and the spinifex-* service users but
never a *user* named spinifex, so `getent passwd spinifex` exits 2 and
pipefail carried it into set -e.

The uninstaller broke openvswitch-switch on its first run by removing the
socket-perms helper while leaving the drop-in referencing it, failing the
unit at step EXEC with status 203. Fixed on both sides: the uninstaller
removes drop-ins it wrote into other units' namespaces and restarts anything
it failed, and setup-ovn.sh writes ExecStartPost=- so a missing helper can
never stop another package's daemon.

setup-ovn.sh also learns the shape OCI needs: when --wan-bridge names a Linux
bridge it links it to OVS with a veth pair instead of enslaving the NIC, so
the VNIC keeps its MAC identity and netplan keeps owning the addresses. It
now fails on OVS datapath errors instead of reporting success, and the
--management demotion guard keys on /etc/default/ovn-central rather than on
database presence, which the ovn-central package creates on every node.

Tests: scripts/uninstall-spx_test.sh, wired into make test-build-scripts
along with shellcheck over the four scripts that ship to every node.

* feat: allocate external IPs from the Oracle Cloud API

An OCI VNIC drops any packet whose source is not a registered private IP
object on it, so an external pool cannot be range math there — the address
has to be created through the provider before it exists at all. Add
source = "oci" and the allocator behind it.

One allocation is two OCI objects: a secondary private IP that rides the
wire, and a RESERVED public IP attached to it that the internet reaches.
Allocate returns the public address because that is what AWS semantics are
about, and records the pair so the host plumbing and release path can find
the private half.

The OCI objects are created before the binding is written, and dropped
after it on release — both orders chosen so a crash leaves a discoverable
leak rather than a record that lies. Reconcile squares the two on startup
and is required, not optional: a leaked reserved public IP bills and holds
one of the 50 per-region slots with nothing referencing it. It never
touches an object without our display-name prefix, because the reference
host carries operator-created secondaries on the same VNIC.

Resolve the VNIC from an interface name by MAC through IMDS rather than by
Oracle's VNIC ordering, which is not a documented contract.

Generalise ExternalIPAM.EnableDHCP into InstallAllocator so the OCI wiring
is not a second single-purpose installer.

* fix: refuse source = "oci" outside routed mode, and cover the SDK path

An OCI VNIC accepts exactly one MAC, its own, and delivers every inbound
frame to it regardless of which of its addresses the packet is for.
Measured on the reference host: an internet source reaches 10.200.0.144 as
router-MAC to VNIC-MAC, the public address never appears on the wire at
all, and every off-subnet destination resolves to the same next hop.

Pool mode puts a per-VPC gateway LRP MAC and a per-rule external NAT MAC on
the uplink and ARPs for the address, which policy.go:50 justifies with "the
Linux bridge learns the per-rule external MAC on the veth port like any
other MAC". An OCI VNIC does not learn MACs; it accepts one. So a pool-mode
guest's egress is dropped and its ingress never reaches OVN. Routed mode
keeps the address on the host, which already wears the VNIC's MAC.

Pinning every LRP to that MAC does not rescue pool mode: they share one
external logical switch and OVN resolves inbound frames by an L2 lookup on
it, so duplicate MACs work for one VPC and silently misroute past that.

The refusal names the MAC reason, because a refusal that only says "use nat
mode" reads as arbitrary and gets worked around.

Also test the SDK request shapes against a local endpoint. Two of them are
wrong in ways reading does not catch: pagination stopping early reports a
partial VNIC to reconcile, which then drops live bindings, and a nil
privateIpId on detach is omitted from the body entirely, so OCI reads the
update as a no-op, returns 200, and leaves the address attached and billing.

* fix: install host firewall rules where a distro's catch-all reject cannot precede them

Oracle's Ubuntu cloud image ships a catch-all REJECT in both INPUT and FORWARD.
Two Spinifex datapaths were silently dead behind it on any such host.

EnsureNATEgressRules probed with -C and appended with -A, so its ACCEPT rules
landed after the REJECT and never matched: 24113 packets on the reject, 0 on
both accepts, and guests had no egress. The comment named the case it did not
handle, anticipating a FORWARD policy of DROP — which an append does survive —
rather than an explicit REJECT rule, which it cannot. Insert at the head, and
drain existing copies first, because a rule an earlier build appended still
satisfies -C and would otherwise stay stranded across an upgrade.

Nothing opened INPUT for the IMDS endpoints at all. The responder binds .254
and .253 per instance on the ime- devices, so guest requests are locally
delivered and meet INPUT. Requests arrived and no reply ever left; cloud-init
spent 490s timing out and reported the endpoint as disabled. With one wildcarded
accept the same image boots in 18.6s and finds its datasource.

The natuplink e2e check had the same blind spot the code did, asserting -C and
therefore presence but never position. It now asserts the accepts precede the
first reject.

* feat: OCI address pairs, and an IMDS remap so the host keeps its own metadata

An OCI external address is two objects, not one: a RESERVED public IP that
OCI 1:1-NATs upstream and never puts on the wire, and a secondary private IP
on the VNIC that the wire actually carries. Every AWS-facing record holds the
public half; every datapath object must hold the private one.

The mapping goes in policy.natManager and nowhere else. AddEIP, DeleteEIP,
PruneOrphanEIPs and the HostEIPBinder all converge there, and reconcile
rebuilds the rule set from AWS-facing intent on every pass — so a correctly
mapped rule installed further upstream is swept on the next reconcile and
replaced with one matching an address that never arrives. The seam is a
DatapathResolver defaulting to identity, so every non-OCI deployment is
unchanged. A resolve failure is fatal: falling back to the public address
would install a rule that reads correctly in ovn-nbctl and blackholes.

ocinet.Lookup is the OCI side — read-only, KV-backed, no client and no
credentials, because vpcd is a different process from the daemon that owns
the allocator and the bindings record is all either would consult.

Two live bugs the in-memory test store was hiding, both found by making the
fake report ErrNotFound the way the real store does:

  - KVStore.Mutate could not create, so every pool failed its own first
    allocation after OCI had already created and billed the pair.
  - Reconcile treated a missing record as a failure, aborting the one pass
    that exists to find an object created before its binding was written.

Guest IMDS must stay on 169.254.169.254, which is also where a cloud host's
own metadata service lives — the first guest launch made it a local address
and took the host's metadata and DNS with it. The datapath is OpenFlow
steered, so the guest-facing addresses stay put and only the host-side
endpoint address moves, with a PREROUTING DNAT on ime-+ translating and
conntrack un-NATing the reply. Off by default; identity when unset.

The IMDS firewall rules move to vpcd. They are wildcarded over every
endpoint rather than per-launch work, and spinifex-daemon holds no iptables
grant and no CAP_NET_ADMIN by design, so attempting them aborted every
launch.

* fix: name the real constructor in the IMDS bind-address error, and mark the NAT datapath test in-package

The error string pointed at DefaultHostBindAddrs, which does not exist — a
caller following it would have looked for a symbol that was never written.

nat_datapath_test.go reuses nat_test.go's in-package fixtures, so it carries
the //test:in-package marker the package check asks for.

* docs: index what each e2e suite proves

Written because a datapath comment was read as an end-to-end behavioural claim
and the suite that already answered it was found only after the wrong answer
had been given. TestVPCEgressPaths/NATBaseline is the authority on private
subnet egress, and nothing pointed at it.

* fix: source-route an EIP's reply out the VNIC that holds it

An EIP's reply carries the EIP as its source. On a host that pins its
uplink with a policy rule, the reply took the main table instead and left
by the wrong interface — which a cloud VNIC drops, because the address is
registered on a different one. Ingress reached the guest and nothing came
back.

Every bind now mirrors the uplink's rule onto the EIP. The selector is the
rule rather than the interface: both OCI VNICs sit in one subnet, so "the
interface owning the EIP's subnet" names two of them, and two candidate
rules is a refusal rather than a guess. A host with no source routing gets
no rule and no change.

* docs: name the setup-ovn recipe routed mode actually needs on OCI

The OCI guide told operators to run `--wan-bridge=br-wan`, which is
mutually exclusive with `--nat-uplink` and deletes the spx-nat transit
veth routed mode runs on. The node then refuses to bring the uplink up,
with an error naming the flag the guide should have used.

Several messages also claimed routed mode is outbound-only with no
public IPs. That stopped being true when the routed EIP path landed, and
it reads as "what you are about to do cannot work" during the one init
the OCI path documents.

* feat: let routed NAT form a multi-node cluster, and carry every pool through formation

Lifts the --nodes >= 2 refusal on --external-mode=nat. The refusal carried no
technical justification -- it was a v1 scope decision -- but routed NAT is the
only datapath a cloud VNIC can carry, so "routed NAT is single-node" had become
"Spinifex on a cloud host is single-node".

It is not fixed by lifting it. Measured on three OCI nodes: the cluster forms,
all chassis register and guest-to-guest traffic runs at 7.1-7.7 Gbit/s, but
every node claims every EIP, nodes disagree on the VPC's gateway LRP, and only
the gateway chassis reaches its own guests. init now says so on stderr rather
than refusing, because the refusal made the defects unreachable and therefore
unfixable. Distributing the EIP datapath is the actual fix.

Lifting it exposed a second defect that stops formation outright. NetworkConfig
held nine flattened Pool* scalars and the init node set PoolName = "wan"
unconditionally; routed NAT renders two pools and the one that matters --
nat-transit, carrying the gateway-LRP range -- was dropped. Each joiner got a
single pool named "wan" holding the transit gateway and the detected WAN prefix,
and the leader re-rendered its own config from the same struct, so all three
nodes were wrong. Pools is now []admin.PoolData in render order, and PoolData
gains json tags because it is on the wire now rather than a template input.

* feat(install-node): add --external-mode so a cluster can be formed in routed NAT

install-node.sh could not express routed NAT at all. It required
--external-pool/--external-gateway/--external-prefix-len and passed
--external-mode=pool to every spx admin init unconditionally, so the only
supported way to form a routed-NAT cluster was by hand.

--external-mode nat refuses the three pool flags rather than ignoring them, and
threads --nat-uplink into setup-ovn.sh -- without it the WAN interface check
rejects a physical NIC during formation, which is correct in pool mode and
wrong in routed mode, where nothing is bridged.

* fix(ocinet): stop each node deleting its peers' OCI addresses on startup

Reconcile compares the binding record against the private IPs on one VNIC. The
record is one key per pool and therefore cluster-wide, so on more than one node
every peer's binding looks exactly like a binding whose objects OCI has lost.
Each node dropped them, and direction 1 on the owning node then collected the
now-unclaimed objects as leaks -- deleting the reserved public IP and private IP
of a running instance.

Observed on the three-node OCI cluster: node2's startup pass logged "collected a
leaked address" for an address it had allocated ten minutes earlier and "dropped
a stale binding" for one living on node3's VNIC.

The damage did not stop at the OCI objects. With the binding gone,
Lookup.DatapathIP returns the public address unchanged, so the OVN
dnat_and_snat row carries the public address instead of the private half. Guest
egress then leaves the VNIC sourced from a reserved public IP, which OCI drops
because it enforces the registered source per VNIC -- and EnsureEIPSourceRoute
no-ops too, since a public address shares no subnet with any host address. One
destroyed binding takes out both directions.

Binding.VNICID already exists for exactly this ("how a node that comes back from
the dead tells mine from moved on without me") and Reconcile never consulted it.
A binding is now only dropped when it names this node's VNIC; one naming no VNIC
cannot be attributed and is left alone rather than guessed at.

* fix(host): find the EIP's source-routing table when the uplink is held as a /32

uplinkSourceRuleFor identified the interface owning an EIP's subnet by finding
a host address configured with a prefix that contains it. On OCI both VNICs sit
in one subnet, so br-wan has to hold its address as a /32 -- a /23 there puts
the subnet's on-link route in the main table at metric 0 and takes the whole
subnet off the primary VNIC. A /32 contains nothing but itself, so no rule was
ever found, no source rule was installed, and the reply left by the primary
VNIC where OCI dropped it for carrying an unregistered source.

The address is not the only record of who owns the subnet. The rule names a
table, and that table holds the on-link route. Consulted as a fallback, only
when the address prefixes matched nobody, so a host that already resolved this
the direct way keeps its existing answer -- prod and dev-prod are unaffected.

Only scope-link routes count. A default route covers every address and would
make every source-routing table an equally good answer.

* docs(oci): correct the multi-node story and name the oci_vnic_id constraint

The nat-mode warning said EIPs and default egress were both broken on more
than one node. Default egress is fine: delete a guest's dnat_and_snat row and
it reaches 1.1.1.1 in 2.3 ms from a guest on any of three nodes. Only the
public-IP path was broken, and the three defects behind it are now fixed.

What remains is not a bug but the shape of the datapath: routed NAT centralises
the EIP path on the VPC's gateway chassis, ext-shared is a localnet so the other
nodes cannot reach it, and OCI drops any frame whose source is not registered on
the VNIC it leaves by. So every node's pool must pin oci_vnic_id to the gateway
chassis's VNIC rather than resolving its own. Say so in §5.3, where an operator
writing the pool will read it, and in §9, where the cost is that a gateway
change kills every public IP until the pools are repointed.

The single-node cap itself is gone from the doc: a three-node cluster has been
formed and measured, and the warning proceeds rather than refusing.

* feat(nat): distribute the routed-NAT EIP path so it works on more than one node

Routed NAT processed every EIP on the VPC's gateway chassis, and ext-shared is
a localnet, so the transit segment a /32 route pointed into existed only on
that one node. Measured on three nodes: all three claimed all three EIPs, the
nodes disagreed on the gateway LRP, and only guests on the gateway chassis were
reachable.

The mechanism to fix it is not new. Pool mode already distributes EIPs by
putting external_mac and logical_port on the dnat_and_snat row and letting
OVN's ARP responder answer for the external IP on the external segment. Routed
mode has an external segment too, the spx-nat veth pair, and it being per node
is the distribution: only the node running the instance can answer ARP on it.

So a routed rule is now distributed on the same terms as a pool one, and its
host route becomes on-link on the transit veth instead of via a gateway LRP
that may be on another chassis. bindHostEIP stops demanding that address for a
distributed rule, which is what previously failed the bind on every node but
one. vpcd plumbs only the ENIs local OVS reports as its own, asked of OVS
rather than the Southbound DB because the question is about this host.

The gateway LRP keeps its transit-pool address. Default egress routes through
it and works across three nodes today, so making it link-local as pool mode
does would break a working path to fix one distribution has already fixed.

Pool and static are unmoved, and a test asserts that against the same input
rather than leaving it to inspection. A rule with no MAC stays centralised, so
a cluster part-way through an upgrade is never in a state neither shape handles.

Beads: mulga-opyl7, mulga-la0pe

* fix(nat): make routed-EIP host plumbing work on every node

Three guests on three OCI nodes, one guest per node: only one was
reachable. Two defects, both invisible on a single node.

The transit veth took a random MAC per node, but OVN holds one MAC
binding for the transit nexthop across the whole cluster — so every
chassis addressed its egress to whichever node seeded the binding, and
the other kernels dropped it at L2. The pair is node-local, so one
locally-administered address everywhere is unambiguous; setup-ovn.sh
pins it at creation and in the netdev unit, and EnsureUplinkPort repairs
a veth made before that.

Host routes and proxy-ARP also rode the leader-gated reconcile pass, so
a node that never won the lease never plumbed its own guests' EIPs.
BindHostEIPs does that half on its own loop on every node; Bind already
leaves alone an EIP whose ENI is elsewhere, so two nodes never contend.
An unresolvable address skips the sweep rather than shrinking it.

Pool and static are untouched: the new pass is a no-op outside routed
mode, and a test asserts it.

Also adds --teardown and --dry-run to setup-ovn.sh, for re-running it on
a node that is already tangled. It deliberately spares the NB/SB
databases, /etc/spinifex, the system-id and the packages, and refuses to
del-br a Linux bridge.

* fix(nat): assert the transit MAC where vpcd actually runs it

EnsureUplinkPort is never called in production — host.Wiring is
constructed nowhere — so the repair landed in a path the deployed
daemon does not take, and three nodes came back with three different
MACs. vpcd re-asserts it beside the NAT egress rules instead, which is
the routed-NAT branch that does run on every start.

* fix(vpcd): make uplink-mode detection say what it saw, and check it

detectBridgeMode logged only the branch it took, so a node detected as
veth when it was wired for nat looked identical to one that was right.
It now reports both probes every time, errors when a node carries both
uplink veths (set up twice, and --teardown is the way out), and errors
when external_mode and the wiring disagree — the datapath follows the
wiring, so the config silently loses that argument. An explicitly
configured bridge_mode gets the same cross-check, since nothing else
ever compared it against the wiring.

The vpc-networking doc now opens nat with "start with pool unless one
of these applies" and gains a section on nat across more than one node;
the admin warning for --external-mode=nat on two or more nodes says
what was verified by hand and what is still uncovered.

* test(nat): prove routed NAT delivers each node's own guests, on a cluster

natuplink ran single-node only, which is exactly where the two defects
that broke three nodes are invisible. It now admits ModeMultinode, and
phase 9 takes a second shape there: a guest per node in a spread
placement group, and for each one — its public IP plumbed by the node
running it and by no other node, the route on-link with proxy-ARP
answered there, a dnat_and_snat row carrying external_mac and
logical_port, a TCP handshake in from another node, and the guest's own
console verdict for egress. Every node's transit veth is checked
against the one cluster-wide MAC before any guest boots.

Single-node phase 9 gains the same row and on-link assertions, so the
shape is held on both topologies.

Two gates come from what three OCI nodes actually do: every node holds
a gateway_chassis row for every VPC (the active one is the highest
priority) and every node installs the VPC ingress route, so only phase
7 needs gating — it runs where the gateway port and the guest are both
local, and logs which one is missing otherwise.

Cell 20 is real-multi x nat with its own nightly step, leaving the
permutation cells' suite set alone.

* test(nat): run the VPC egress paths in nat mode, not pool mode only

The single suite gated TestVPCEgressPaths and TestWANEgressSMTPBlock on
external_mode = "pool", with a comment saying nat clusters have no
EIP/NAT-GW support. They have had EIPs since the routed path landed, so
the gate now asks whether the cluster can allocate public addresses at
all — pool, or nat with a non-transit pool configured.

The nat-single cell runs TestVPCEgressPaths beside natuplink, which is
the only nightly coverage of a private subnet's isolation and its NAT
gateway in routed mode. natuplink never creates a private subnet.

* docs(config): list nat among external_mode values

* fix(ci): renumber the multi-node nat cell off the bare-metal job

Cell 20 is already the bare-metal single-node job, gated on the same
cells input but declared in the workflow rather than e2e-cells.json.
A matrix entry with the same number runs two unrelated jobs under one
name, and naming 20 in a dispatch selects both.

* feat(images): add Oracle Linux 10.1 and 9.8, and pin their catalog digests

Oracle publishes its qcow2 checksums inline on an HTML page and ships no
sums file, so the four new entries carry the expected digest in the catalog
rather than a URL to fetch one from. Images gains ChecksumDigest for that,
and the catalog import path verifies against it and says which of the two
sources it used, so a recorded digest never reads as a fetched sums file.

Pinning is safe here and only here: each URL names an immutable build
(b291, b293, b178, b182) and never moves. aarch64 has a -kvm-cloud- build
alongside the plain -kvm- one; the cloud build is the cloud-init image and
is the one that matches x86_64's -kvm-.

TestImageCatalogReachable HEADs every URL in the catalog from the general
single-node suite. These artifacts live on hosts nobody here controls, so
an upstream that retires a build breaks `spx admin images import` for a
customer and nothing else in the suite would notice. It also asserts that
every entry sets exactly one checksum source, and that no pinned entry
points at a "latest" URL whose bytes would change under it.

* fix(formation): carry bridge_mode onto the leader and every joiner

applyNetworkConfig copied external_mode, external_interface and the pools
out of the formation NetworkConfig but never bridge_mode, so a multi-node
cluster wrote a spinifex.toml without the key while single-node init wrote
it. Every node then fell back to autodetecting a mode that init had pinned.

Nightly cell 30 caught it: TestNATUplink failed at the config phase on a
spinifex.toml that did not contain bridge_mode = "nat". Deriving it from
the mode rather than adding a NetworkConfig field keeps the leader and the
joiners on the same rule single-node init already uses.

* feat(ui): show how to ssh into an instance, and which user to use

An instance detail page gave the addresses and the key pair name but never
the login user, which is the one part of the command nobody can derive. It
belongs to the AMI, not to Spinifex: nothing in the launch path creates or
renames an account, so stock cloud-init applies the distro's own
default_user. Oracle Linux is cloud-user, Debian is debian, Ubuntu is
ubuntu, and guessing from the distro name gets two of those three wrong.

The card resolves the user from the AMI's name and description, and an
unrecognised image yields a placeholder rather than a guess, because a
wrong username in a copy-paste command is worse than an honest gap. A
private-only instance is called out as reachable from inside the VPC only,
rather than presented as a command that will simply time out.

* fix(nat): plumb host state for a NAT gateway's public address

AddNATGateway installed the OVN snat row and stopped there. On a routed-NAT
node the host is what delivers a public address, so an egressing private guest
left with a source the host held no route back to, and the masquerade rule —
which matches the transit 100.127.0.0/24 alone — never saw the packet. The
gateway's address needs the same /32 route into OVN, proxy-ARP and FORWARD
accepts an EIP gets.

hostBindSpecs unions floatingIPSpecs with one deduped spec per NAT gateway
address and feeds BindHostEIPs. It is kept apart from floatingIPSpecs
deliberately: pruneOrphanEIPs and addLive read that set as the complete list of
addresses allowed to hold a dnat_and_snat, and a gateway holds an snat, so
widening it would stop the sweep reclaiming a stale row on an address later
reused as a gateway's.

AddNATGateway also binds directly, on both the create and idempotent-skip
paths, so a fresh gateway is not dark for up to 30s waiting on the host EIP
pass — and so a reboot that keeps the OVN row still replays the volatile half.

Documents NAT gateways in nat mode in vpc-networking, and says at the head of
that section that nat is a supported mode covered by nightly cells 19 and 30.

* docs(oci): document Oracle Linux as a guest image, and that its user is cloud-user

Four catalog entries, all UEFI. The login user is the one that catches
people: opc is the default on the images Oracle publishes into OCI itself,
while these are the generic KVM cloud images from yum.oracle.com, whose
cloud-init default_user is cloud-user. Verified on 10.1 and 9.8 — opc, oracle
and ec2-user are all refused.

Also records why these four pin a checksum digest inline (Oracle ships no sums
file, and each URL names an immutable build), why arm64 takes the -kvm-cloud-
build, and that SELinux ships enforcing.

* fix(reconcile): stop reading an unreadable intent as an empty one

A wedged JetStream KV returned no keys for the ENI bucket while writes were
still landing. loadPorts mapped that to an empty port map, pruneOrphanPorts
read every guest LSP as an orphan against it, and every guest on the node lost
DHCP and IMDS while the API kept answering and the instances stayed "running".
The existing re-read guard did not help: it re-reads through the same path.

Three defences, because no single one covers every shape of the fault.

A failed kv.Get now fails the pass instead of dropping the record. Dropping one
VPC narrows localVPCs, which filters out every ENI in it, which the sweep reads
as permission to delete every guest port in that VPC — one failed read, same
outcome, and it needs no exotic KV state. Unmarshal failures stay skips: that
is a poison record rather than an unhealthy store, and failing on it would
wedge reconcile forever.

The port sweep now asks local OVS which taps are plugged in here and never
deletes a port that has one. A running guest's port cannot be an orphan
whatever intent says, and OVS is the one liveness signal that does not come
through the KV read path the sweep is otherwise entirely driven by. Wired from
vpcd; unwired callers fall back to the guard below. An unreadable OVS skips the
sweep rather than deciding on intent alone.

Each sweep also refuses outright when the keep set it would delete against
holds nothing at all — no ENIs, no SGs, or no ports and no external IPs. That
is the case local taps cannot cover, because the drift sweep is leader-gated
and lists NB cluster-wide, so the leader holds no tap for another node's guest.
The cost is real: a genuinely orphaned row now survives until one live record
of its class exists. Leaking a stale row is the recoverable half.

Three existing prune tests drove their fixtures to a wholly empty intent, which
is now the refusal case; they keep one live record of the class so they still
prove the prune. The Get-failure path has no unit test — there is no
jetstream.JetStream fake in the tree and an embedded server cannot be made to
list a key it will then refuse.

* docs(oci): separate the two address quotas, and the principal that can read them

The regional reserved-public-IP ceiling is tenancy-wide and does not grow with
node count, so a cluster hits it before the per-VNIC 64, which does. Records
the commands that read both, and that a detached reserved public IP still
bills.

Reading limits or usage needs a tenancy-level grant, which cannot be
compartment-scoped the way the node's policy is. That is a second, read-only
principal kept off every node, not an addition to SpinifexOperators.

* docs(oci): give quotas their own troubleshooting section, and say we enforce none

Spinifex hardcodes no address ceiling: it attempts the allocation and maps
OCI's own refusal to InsufficientAddressCapacity. So a quota is raised with
Oracle and nothing here is reconfigured or restarted — which is what an
operator needs to know before it bites, not after.

Separates the two quotas by how they scale: the regional reserved-public-IP
default is tenancy-wide and raisable by ticket, the per-VNIC 64 is per node and
is not.

* fix(oci): follow a guest to its new node when its EIP moves

OCI delivers a public address to whichever VNIC holds the private IP behind
it, and nothing ever moved that private IP. Binding.VNICID was written once at
allocate time, as the VNIC of whichever queue-group daemon happened to serve
the AWS request, and never updated — so an address landed on the right node
only by chance, and a guest that stopped and started elsewhere went dark while
every OVN row, host route and firewall rule on the new node was correct.

ClaimLocalAddresses closes the gap from the node that should hold the address.
Local OVS decides ownership, the same authority the host EIP binder already
trusts for the same question, and UpdatePrivateIp with a new VnicId does the
move in one server-side call. The private IP OCID survives it, so the reserved
public IP attached to it follows without being touched and the customer's
address never changes.

A loop per node, not leader-gated: the question is about this host's guests,
and a node that never wins the reconcile lease would otherwise never claim the
addresses of the instances it is running.

* fix(oci): record which ENI an EIP is associated with

An EIP is allocated bare and attached by a later AssociateAddress, so the OCI
binding written at allocate time named no ENI and nothing ever filled it in.
The address then stayed on whichever node happened to serve the allocation:
the affinity pass could follow an auto-assigned address, which is allocated
with its ENI, but never an EIP — the case customers actually use.

BindOwner is on an optional OwnerTracker interface rather than Allocator,
because only OCI has a notion of an address being delivered to one node. A
static or DHCP address is on the wire everywhere its node can reach, those
allocators do not implement it, and ExternalIPAM treats a pool that does not
as a success with nothing to do.

The same gap made the release owner guard inert for EIPs: it compares against
a binding ENI that was always empty, so a stale teardown could free an address
already handed to another instance.

* fix(ec2): report the address an instance is actually reachable on

Three faults kept DescribeInstances answering with the address launch assigned,
whatever happened afterwards.

The launch-time stamp lives on the stored ec2.Instance, and the stopped path
only declined to add an address rather than removing one, so a stopped instance
went on advertising an address it had released and that may already belong to
someone else. The projection now clears it, and the NIC association with it,
working on its copy so a restart can still report the address.

The running path filled the public address only when it was nil, which the
stamp never is, so an EIP could not be reported however correctly it was
recorded. The runtime address now wins.

And nothing told the rest of the system about an association: AssociateAddress
wrote neither the ENI record, which is what IMDS and the network reconcile
read, nor the instance record, which is what a describe answers from. The ENI
write is direct; the instance write is a fan-out, because the queue-group
worker that serves AssociateAddress is rarely the node running the instance.

* fix(net): take the host EIP plumbing off a node its guest has left

Bind refuses an EIP whose ENI is on another chassis; the prune beside it kept
anything still wanted cluster-wide. A guest that moved therefore left the old
node holding the /32 route into OVN and the proxy-ARP entry on the uplink, with
nothing that would ever remove them. On a shared segment that node goes on
answering ARP for an address another node is now serving.

The two halves now ask the same question by the same authority, in the loop
that already runs per node. An unreadable local OVS is not a yes: tearing down
a live address on a guess would fire everywhere at once, so it keeps the
binding and the next pass tries again. A binder with no chassis test behaves
exactly as before, and a centralised EIP is exempt because it hairpins through
the gateway chassis and every node plumbs it legitimately.

* fix(net): refuse to free an Elastic IP on behalf of a departing interface

Releasing an instance's public address on teardown releases it by address,
scoped to the ENI holding it. Since an association now writes the EIP onto the
instance record, that address is the EIP — so terminating an instance gave a
customer's Elastic IP back to the pool while describe-addresses still reported
it as theirs, free to be handed to another guest.

The existing ownership guard cannot catch this. It only fires when the stored
allocation already names an ENI, and an EIP is allocated bare and associated
later, so the stored ENI is empty and the guard passes straight through.

The distinction that holds is who is asking. ReleaseAddress is the address's own
owner and names no interface; instance teardown names the interface it is tearing
down. So a release that names an owner may free an auto-assigned address and
never an EIP, which is enforced in each of the three allocators.

DHCP needed the scope carried on the wire, since it releases by address and
resolves the lease afterwards. Absent on an older caller, which reads as false
and keeps the previous behaviour.

Worst on the two providers where it is not recoverable: on DHCP the lease is the
only thing holding the address and the server promises nothing about handing it
back, and on OCI the address is a reserved public IP object that the release
destroys outright.

* test(e2e): prove an Elastic IP survives a stop and start

Instance teardown releases the public address by value, and since the
association writes the EIP onto the instance record, that release aims
straight at the customer's Elastic IP. The allocator guards now refuse it,
but nothing end to end proved the address comes back on a restart.

The step goes inside EIPFlip, which already runs last on the shared public
guest for the same reason a stop is safe there: the address the guest
returns on is the allocation's, not the pool's. It runs on the static
cells and the DHCP ones alike, and on DHCP it doubles as the only outside
view of the lease still renewing while the guest is down.

* feat: release an auto-assigned public address on stop, take a new one on start

AWS lends an instance a public address for as long as it runs and gives it a
different one on the next start. Spinifex kept the address across a stop, which
holds a pool slot for a stopped instance and, on a DHCP pool, keeps renewing a
lease nothing is using.

A stop now offers the address back through the instance cleaner, which refuses
anything an Elastic IP is behind — the EIP association record answers that, the
same question an ENI delete already asks — and records on the VM that the start
owes it a new one. A host drain keeps the address: Restore relaunches the guest
on the next boot, and changing its address under it is an outage nobody asked
for.

The start allocates before the launch, so an exhausted pool refuses the start
rather than booting a guest the customer cannot reach, adopts an Elastic IP
associated while the instance was stopped instead of assigning a second address
beside it, and hands the address back if the launch then fails.

e2e: a StopStartAddress stage on the public guest asserts a stopped instance
reports no address and comes back on a different one from a static pool, and a
StopStartKeepsTheEIP step asserts the opposite for an Elastic IP.

* docs: restructure the OCI guide around two deployment paths, with diagrams

The guide had grown into a numbered wall with no shape: no frontmatter, no
contents, and a reader with an OCI account had no way to tell where to start.
It now follows the multi-node install template — overview, prerequisites, then
the deployment path — and splits that path in two: Terraform for one node or
three, which is the preferred route, and a manual single-node walkthrough for
an instance that already exists. Both meet at one shared configuration section
rather than repeating it.

Two ASCII diagrams carry what the prose could not: one OCI instance with the
whole AWS surface inside it, and three nodes with the same surface distributed,
showing which plane each VNIC carries and how an address follows a guest that
moves.

The limits section was materially out of date and said so in the places that
mattered most. Multi-node is no longer experimental, public addresses are no
longer pinned to one node — each allocates on its own VNIC and the affinity
pass moves the private half to wherever the guest is — and an auto-assigned
address is now returned to OCI on stop, so a stopped fleet stops paying for
addresses. What changed is recorded rather than quietly edited.

The Terraform configuration moves in from the monorepo as
scripts/terraform/oci-spx, so the guide points at something in this repository.

Also marks the two new lifecycle test files in-package, with the reason each
one needs to be: both substitute unexported dependencies.

* docs: rework the OCI guide — SVG diagrams, Terraform variables, iSCSI and br-wan

Replaces the two ASCII diagrams with SVGs in the house style, one for a
single node and one for three. Renames the two deployment sections to
Terraform deployment and Manual deployment, documents what the Terraform
builds per node and every variable worth setting, and explains that the
data volume is an iSCSI attachment rather than a disk.

The manual path now covers the iSCSI login, the fstab entry and the
netplan source routing that Terraform writes, and states what br-wan is
for on a routed-NAT node: it names the VNIC for the OCI allocator and
holds the registered addresses, but is never bridged into OVS.

Opens with what Spinifex is and why OCI is worth running it on.

* fix: make gateway convergence work on a multi-node routed-NAT cluster

Three defects each stopped a multi-node cluster from ever attaching an
internet gateway, and all three produced the same uninformative symptom:
`terraform apply` sitting on `aws_internet_gateway.igw: Still creating...`
forever while every service reported healthy.

ovn-northd was given only its local OVSDB socket as a client connection.
A RAFT follower does not forward writes -- it answers "not cluster leader,
trying another server" -- so with one entry in the list, northd stops
translating Northbound intent into Southbound flows the moment database
leadership moves to another node. Measured on the OCI cluster:
SB_Global.nb_cfg seventeen transactions behind NB_Global.nb_cfg, with no
chassisredirect port for any VPC created after leadership moved.
setup-ovn.sh wrote the member list only when the caller passed
--ovn-remote, which only install-node.sh did; it now derives the list from
the live RAFT membership otherwise, and says so when it finds a single
member, because that node needs a second pass once the others join.

The gateway datapath probe ran wherever the reconcile lease landed rather
than on the chassis owning the port. Both probes leave from the local
uplink, and under routed NAT the transit subnet exists identically on every
node, so a remote probe reported a healthy gateway as dead and aimed a
repair at a datapath the node does not own. GatewayPortLocal gates it.

On OCI the probe then ARPed the tenant-visible public IP, which the cloud
NATs and which appears on no interface anywhere. The reconciler now maps
the address through the same DatapathResolver the NAT rules are built from.

Also adds DescribeVpcEndpoints, which the AWS provider calls on every VPC
delete to sweep GuardDuty-managed endpoints; an InvalidAction there failed
the destroy and stranded the VPC.

The OCI guide gains a Terraform section recording which shipped workbooks
were validated against a three-node OCI cluster and which are still open.

* docs: record the validated Terraform workbook results for the three-node OCI cluster

Six of the seven workbooks run against the OCI cluster pass, including the
three the section exists to prove: RDS, ECS and EKS. Records nginx-alb and the
clean eks-quickstart re-run, and names the two lifecycle gaps that bit during
the run so an operator recognises them rather than reading them as a broken
workbook.

* fix: route the NAT gateway's SNAT source through the datapath resolver

AddNATGateway was the one NAT path that did not map its external address to
the one that rides the wire. Where the public half of an allocation is NAT'd by
the cloud it is on no interface anywhere, so every private-subnet guest egressed
with a source that was dropped, while the gateway reported available and DNS
kept working because the VPC resolver is host-local.

The unmapped address also failed the host EIP sweep, which works in resolved
addresses, so the bind was pruned as foreign on the next pass and reinstalled on
the one after. The public half now survives as an external ID instead.

Also restructures the OCI guide around numbered steps through to running
Terraform, and moves the cloud-init and metadata sections into troubleshooting
where they are read when something is wrong rather than followed when it is not.

* fix: place a NAT gateway's OCI address on the node that forwards for it

OCI drops a packet whose source is not a registered private IP on the VNIC it
leaves from, so a NAT gateway's SNAT source has to be on the gateway chassis.
Two independent placements decided those and nothing reconciled them: the
address was created by whichever worker served AllocateAddress, while the
chassis is a fixed ordering the reconcile pass asserts. On a three-node cluster
that made private-subnet egress a coin flip, and the same Terraform passed or
died depending on which node answered.

The affinity pass already solves this for guests, by asking local OVS where the
tap is. A NAT gateway has no tap, and it skipped anything with no ENI — which
is exactly and only this address. The equivalent local fact is the VPC's
chassisredirect binding, so ownership now has two answers rather than one, and
an address that is neither a guest's nor a gateway's is still left alone.

The VPC is recorded from the reconcile pass rather than from CreateNatGateway,
because the answer is the gateway chassis and reconcile is what decides it.

* fix: plumb a NAT gateway's host ingress only on its gateway chassis

A NAT gateway's address has no ENI, so neither the bind's locality test nor
the prune's could ever fire for it and every node installed its /32 route into
OVN. Latent on bare metal, where pool addresses are disjoint from the node
subnet; on a cloud that hands out the address from the nodes' own subnet it
outranks the connected route and swallows node-to-node traffic.

Give that address the same second authority the ocinet affinity pass has: the
VPC's chassisredirect binding, read from the local ovn-controller. An
unanswerable question still leaves the binding alone, so a single node whose
gateway port is not yet claimed behaves exactly as before.

The orphan EIP prune built its live set from ENI and user EIPs alone while also
sweeping host ingress, so every drift pass tore down the ingress of every live
NAT gateway and left it dark until the next host EIP tick.

* fix: ask the gateway chassis only about a NAT gateway's address

gatewayElsewhere skipped the NAT gateway marker it was named for and answered
for every spec, so on a node that is not the VPC's gateway chassis every EIP —
including a guest's, whose locality is its own port — was left unplumbed. Two
of three nodes bound nothing.

* test: assert the two private-subnet EKS workbooks in the tofu harness

eks-https-ingress and eks-gitops-argocd put their workers in private subnets
behind a NAT gateway, so a worker only registers Ready if its egress to the
cluster endpoint and to ECR survives that path. That makes them the workbooks
that catch a NAT gateway fault, and neither had an assertion, so neither could
be run at all — run_workbook calls assert_<name> by construction.

Both share eks-quickstart's readiness check, extracted unchanged. They also
name the worker size node_instance_type rather than instance_type, and tofu
rejects a -var for an undeclared variable outright, so the name is read from
the config instead of kept in a list here.

* test: count agents, not every node, when asserting EKS workers Ready

The control plane is three K3s servers, so an unfiltered node count reaches a
one-worker cluster's desired size before any worker joins — the assertion
passed on exactly the failure it exists to catch, reporting "4/1 workers
Ready". Filtering on the control-plane role label makes it 1/1, which is the
number that says a node-group worker registered.

Matters most for the two private-subnet workbooks, where the worker joining is
the whole proof that egress through the NAT gateway works.

Ben Duncan fea03a5b22 feat: verify JetStream replicas agree after formation, discard stores by default (#1031)
spx admin init now discards the node's pre-formation JetStream store by default for --nodes >= 2; --discard-jetstream=false restores the refusal. spx admin kv digest gains --json with stream replica, retention and limit settings and per-sequence subject, time and TTL. The new spx admin kv compare reads every node's digest and fails only on real divergence: different content at one sequence, a missing message nothing explains, or wrong replica placement. install-node.sh gates formation on it and gains --ipsec on|off, verified on every node. The multi-node guide documents both.
2026-09-14 16:38:33 -05:00
Ben Duncan 455c97a2e7 fix: prod review of 14 September — IPsec follower reads, stopped-instance EIP probes, audit client IP and JetStream formation divergence (#1029)
* fix: read NB_Global.ipsec through the NB remote list so followers and compute nodes answer quietly

* fix: stop probing and nudging the EIP datapath of a stopped instance's port

* fix: log the real client IP, request ID and duration_ms in the awsgw access line

* test: mark the UI proxy header test as in-package

* fix: discard pre-formation JetStream data when forming a multi-node cluster

A node that ran as its own single-node cluster carries KV streams into
formation. nats-server adopts a local stream with the same name as the
clustered one, and raft catch-up only fetches sequences beyond a
follower's last, so the conflicting prefix is never repaired and replicas
diverge permanently.

- spx admin join removes the local JetStream store once formation
  succeeds. A store holding streams now needs --force, and the
  identity-discard warning names it.
- spx admin init --nodes >= 2 refuses a store that holds streams unless
  --discard-jetstream is given, and removes it once every node has joined.
  Keeping it as the seed is unsafe: stream leadership ignores who holds
  data, and unassigned local streams are deleted as orphans.
- Neither removes a store while `spx service nats` runs, --force included.
- install-node.sh passes --discard-jetstream and waits for every
  `spx service` process to exit before formation.

* feat: add spx admin kv digest for per-replica JetStream consistency checks

Replicas of a stream can hold different content while raft reports them
current, and nothing in the cluster detects it. A direct get over NATS is
no way to inspect one replica: a client's request goes to a random member
of the direct-get queue group, routed replicas included.

kv digest copies this node's $G streams tree (without consumer state) to a
temporary directory, opens the copy in a private in-process server with no
listener, and prints first/last sequence, message count and a SHA-256 over
every stored message per stream. Running it on each node and diffing the
output shows which streams diverge; --seqs locates the first differing
sequence. The live store is only ever read.

* fix: let spx admin kv digest read replicated streams

A replicated stream's meta.inf carries num_replicas > 1, which a standalone
server refuses to recover, so the digest could not read any production store.
Rewrite the copy's config to one replica with no expiry and a recomputed
checksum, and test it against a three-node cluster and an expired bucket.

* test: use assert.ErrorIs for the removed JetStream store

* test: mark the JetStream store and digest tests as in-package

* fix: stop the process-group test misreading a reaped child as alive

The test polled until the child was gone, then checked once more. A task
being reaped shows state X for an instant, which processRunning counted as
running, so that second look failed about 1 run in 50 under -race.

* fix: wait for the recovery retry loop before removing a test's data dir

restoreInstances starts the retry loop untracked, and it rewrites the local
state file when it ends. A write landing during t.TempDir cleanup failed
TestRestoreInstances_* with RemoveAll: directory not empty.

Ben Duncan 939b6a99ce fix: repair the three guards protecting a node reset (#1019)
The QEMU guard never fired. pgrep -x and pkill -x match comm, which the kernel
truncates to 15 characters, so qemu-system-x86_64 is stored as qemu-system-x86
and neither the -x name nor the -x alternation could ever match. The script
therefore never signalled a guest and never waited, and wiped viperblock state
out from under live guests. Match the 11-character prefix against comm, the same
rule qemuProcessPrefix already applies in vm/orphan_scan.go, and scope it to the
user the daemon runs guests as so a host carrying libvirt guests alongside
Spinifex ones does not lose the wrong set. Not -f: that matches the whole
command line, where argv[0] may carry a path.

Nothing waited for spx either. Stopping spinifex.target returns once the target
is inactive, but spinifex-shutdown.service is ordered After= the storage
services, so their stop jobs queue behind its ExecStop and NATS can still be
running. JetStream then rewrites its index after the rm and before the
verification, failing the reset on a file the script had already deleted. Add
the wait update-nodes.sh has carried since d9bc6e35.

The firewall restore was gated on a mode file the failed run had already
deleted, so a retry read the absence as "never armed", skipped the restore, and
install-node.sh honoured that and formed the cluster around an open node. Stash
the mode outside every wiped tree, and fail rather than warn when a node that
arrived armed cannot be put back.

install-node.sh had the other half of that cascade: it disarms every host to let
the OVN raft ports through and only re-arms at the end, so any abort in between
left them all open. Re-arm from an EXIT trap, and say so loudly when a host
arrives with no policy.
2026-09-14 10:38:42 -05:00
Ben Duncan 930afa9fcb fix: remove the JetStream store during a node reset (#1018)
The wipe loop deletes files but keeps every directory, so one empty
$G/streams/KV_<name> directory per stream survived the reset. NATS enumerates
those on start and reports them as HA assets it must restore, leaving the meta
group at size=4 with no leader over hundreds of assets that have no data behind
them. Every service then fails to reach JetStream and the daemon aborts its
bootstrap.

Remove the tree outright, mirroring the predastore/cluster removal above it.

Josh Siviour 8e11908dfb fix: make the EKS control plane's disk latency observable, and give it room to run (#1009)
* fix: report CPU and memory pressure in the EKS control-plane health diagnostic

An unhealthy control plane reported readyz, etcd reachability and etcd-disk
free space. When etcd goes unreachable with disk:ok and no OOM kill, that set
cannot distinguish a starved guest from a genuine etcd fault, so add the
loadavg and MemAvailable that separate them.

An empty /readyz body also rendered as readyz:[none], which reads as "no
subcheck failed" when it means the probe never answered. Report that as
unreachable instead.

* fix: sample the node's load, not just the runner host's

Every runner agent runs on one host while their nodes sit on several, so the
existing sample measured the runner's host and was labelled as the hypervisor.
It happens to coincide when the node is on that same host and misleads
otherwise. Relabel it and add a node-side sample, which is where the guests are
actually scheduled and so where a starved guest shows up.

* feat: build the mkosi EKS image in CI and give its control plane telemetry

The Ubuntu/systemd EKS image is what customers run, and nothing built it: the
composition existed in mkosi-build.sh's image_profiles table but had no caller,
so a change that broke it was found by hand or not at all. Cell-25 builds the
Alpine image, which leaves the published one with no gate. Add a Makefile target
beside the Alpine one and a job in the existing path-filtered image workflow.

The guest also collected nothing. k3s has served embedded-etcd metrics on
127.0.0.1:2381 since the daemon started setting etcd-expose-metrics, and no
collector ever read them, so an etcd stall was only ever visible as
"etcd:unreachable" in the state report — which cannot separate a slow disk from
a dead one. Ship otelcol-contrib pinned to the version the cluster hosts already
run, scraping etcd and guest host metrics.

The unit is gated on ConditionPathExists for its endpoint file rather than
started unconditionally: whether the control-plane guest can reach the sink from
the isolated CP VPC is unverified, and a collector with nowhere to export is a
restart loop, not telemetry.

* fix: report etcd fsync latency in the control-plane health diagnostic

disk:ok measures free space, which says nothing about how long a write takes.
etcd stalls on fsync latency long before it runs out of room, and this guest's
disk is an EBS volume served by viperblock, so a fsync is a network round trip.
An unhealthy control plane reporting healthy memory and disk was uninterpretable
without it.

Derived from the histogram's sum and count rather than a bucket percentile: two
greps against an interpolation this script has no business doing, and the
difference between a healthy single-digit reading and a stalled one is an order
of magnitude, not a tail. Rides the state report's existing gateway path, so it
needs no route the CP VPC does not already grant, and lands on both images
because the script is shared.

The scrape's failure is guarded explicitly. Under set -e a bare assignment from
a curl against a port nothing answers aborts the whole diagnosis, dropping the
reason field exactly when it is wanted.

* feat: publish etcd fsync on every control-plane report, not only failing ones

A figure that appears only once the apiserver is already unhealthy has no
baseline to be read against, which is the same gap a passing cell that uploads
no journal leaves: the number is unanchored when it finally arrives. Move the
scrape into its own helper, emit it on healthy reports too, and carry it as a
typed field rather than only inside the reason string.

Slowness is logged, never gated. observe() decides cluster health, and a working
cluster on a slow disk is working — returning an issue there would fail
customers' clusters on a latency threshold. The warning is latched on the
transition instead, because the control plane republishes on its own timer and a
line every interval is how a real signal gets tuned out.

An absent sample is not a fast one. Too few fsyncs to average, an etcd serving
no metrics and an older AMI all arrive as nil, and the field is omitted rather
than defaulted so none of them can be read as healthy. The minimum sample count
is the same lesson as the slow-shard floor: a mean over three fsyncs on a
just-started etcd is a number with no meaning.

* fix: log an etcd fsync baseline and name the two no-sample cases apart

A healthy cluster logs no health lines, so the fsync figure reached the
daemon on every report and was never surfaced — a passing cell left nothing
for a later slow reading to be compared against. Log the first known sample.

Split the "unknown" sentinel into nometrics (etcd served none) and warmup
(too few fsyncs to average): different faults, different fixes. The payload
guard now tests for a number rather than the sentinel word, so a future
sentinel cannot leak into the JSON as a bare value.

* feat: measure fdatasync latency in the diskperf gate

The two pinned profiles are buffered-bypassing throughput jobs at queue
depth 32. Neither measures the cost of making a write durable, which is what
a consensus datastore pays per raft entry and stalls on long before it runs
short of bandwidth. A 5ms barrier on bare metal went unseen as a result.

syncwrite-4k is the etcd-shaped profile: sequential 4k, queue depth 1,
fdatasync every write, buffered psync so the sync has a page cache to flush.
fio reports the sync distribution apart from the write stream, so the parser
reads it separately — gating on write clat would score the time to reach the
cache and call it durability.

No figures captured on this hardware yet, so the baseline entry is zero and
the job records without gating.

* fix: use the real otelcol checksums asset name in the EKS server image

The checksums file is named for the release repo and the distribution and
carries no version, unlike the tarball beside it. The guessed name 404'd and
took the image build with it.

* fix: extract otelcol as root in the EKS server image

The upstream tarball records its build uid (runner/docker, 1001:118), which
does not exist in the image. tar running as root tries to restore it and
fails outright rather than degrading, taking the build with it.

Ben Duncan 18853cef31 fix: close the four defects keeping the e2e nightly red (#1007)
* fix: stop the e2e analyser inventing failures and let a detach outlast its seal

go-junit-report emits <error message="No test result found"> for a === RUN with
no matching result line, and attaches the test's own captured log as the body.
The analyser counted those as failures, so the baremetal cell reported 25
failures against a junit file recording 1, with log output reading as
assertions. Separate the marker from a real error in both the parse and the
roll-up, count the unresolved cases and say so in the summary.

The gateway gave a detach 30s while the daemon budgets 180s for the ebs.unmount
seal and 180s more for the QMP unplug chain, so any detach whose seal replayed a
WAL was reported as ServerInternal while it went on to succeed.

Also switch four nightly job gates from always() to !cancelled(): always()
overrides cancellation, so a cancelled run kept starting jobs.

* fix: serialise the e2e workflows on one group and retry a dropped libvirt

e2e.yml had no concurrency block at all, so every push to dev could provision
alongside every other push and alongside the nightly. All four workflows that
build on these hypervisors now share e2e-hypervisors, queued rather than
cancelled. A per-environment group is not expressible: GitHub picks the group
before it picks a runner, and the environment is a property of the runner.

tofu apply also failed outright on a transient libvirt connect, which fails a
45-minute job in 90 seconds and reports it as a test failure. retry_run retries
only when that attempt's own output names a connection failure, so a real
failure still fails once.

Also collect the unfiltered journal from the matrix cells and the node journal
from cell-21: the unit filter drops the kernel and OOM lines that explain why
one node behaved unlike its siblings, and a passing run's journal is what makes
a failing one readable.

* fix: build the baremetal junit from the unfiltered suite log

run-baremetal-e2e.sh streams the full suite output to suite-output.log and a
grep-filtered summary to its stdout, which the workflow tees into
test-baremetal.log. That filter anchors --- PASS at column 0 and Go indents
every subtest result by four spaces, so the junit was generated from a log with
no subtest results in it: go-junit-report saw each === RUN with no outcome and
emitted <error message="No test result found">.

17 of cell-28's 39 testcases and 93 of cell-20's 120 were that. Regenerating
cell-28 from suite-output.log gives 39 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors.

* fix: converge released EIPs instead of trusting a fire-and-forget teardown

A disassociate leaves the ENI running, so the orphan sweep's owning-port test
never fires for it. The teardown then rests entirely on vpc.delete-nat, which is
core NATS and is lost whenever vpcd is restarting — and the intent KV watch is
UpdatesOnly, so the same window hides the write that would have driven a repair
pass. The dnat_and_snat row and its host /32 route to a released public address
survived until something else happened to touch them, which for a live ENI was
nothing at all.

Give the sweep the second test it was missing: AddEIP is the only writer of
dnat_and_snat, so the floating IPs intent asks for are the complete set of
addresses that may hold one, and a row for any other address is stale however
alive its port. Ports and external IPs travel together in LiveEIPs, both unioned
from the start-of-pass snapshot and the fresh re-read, so a mid-pass launch is
still spared. The host unbind now runs even when the row had already gone, which
is the state a crash between the OVN delete and the unbind leaves.

Run that sweep on the startup pass too. Startup is the pass that follows the
blind window, so skipping it deferred repair of exactly the changes that were
missed. The port-group and ENI-port sweeps stay gated there for the in-flight
create they were written for; the EIP sweep re-reads intent immediately before
deciding and abandons the whole sweep if that read fails, which is the same
protection by a stronger route.

* fix: keep a release verify off the hypervisors an e2e run is using

release.yml is the fifth workflow that provisions on the ci-single pool and had
no concurrency block at all, so a tag push could land a tofu apply on the same
libvirt host a nightly cell was mid-provision on. The group goes on the verify
job rather than the workflow: the build jobs touch no hypervisor and should not
queue behind a nightly.

* fix: stop cell-27 handing a 50-minute suite a 50-minute job

The rds suite is budgeted 50m in suite-sets.sh and cell-27 took the matrix
default of 50 minutes for the whole job, so provisioning, install, the suite and
teardown had to fit inside the suite's allowance alone. It never could: the last
measured run spent 6 minutes reaching the suite and was killed 44 minutes into
it, mid-TestAutomatedBackups. A job timeout reports "The operation was canceled"
and nothing else, which is why this cell has no verdict in any nightly rather
than a failure anyone could read.

cell-27 gets 75 minutes, and the select job now refuses to start a run whose job
budget does not clear its suite budget plus a setup allowance. The inner timeout
firing first is the property that matters: go test says where it stopped and
what failed, and the job timeout says nothing at all. cell-29 already had the
same fix applied by hand; nothing stopped the next suite from repeating it.

* fix: converge host EIP plumbing against intent, not against the NAT row

The released-EIP sweep landed and did not fire. Its premise was that a stranded
dnat_and_snat row is what a stranded host route can be found by, and on the path
that actually strands one there is no row left. AddEIP scrubs the predecessor
row sharing the private IP before installing the new one, so when reconcile
re-added the instance's auto-assigned address it silently deleted the released
EIP's row — and applyEIPs runs ahead of the sweep, which then walked a table
with nothing stale in it while the /32 route and its proxy-ARP stayed up.

Give the sweep the host's own inventory. ListEIPIngress reads the EIPs back from
the FORWARD accepts EnsureEIPIngress stamps with its own comment, so a binding is
found by what installed it rather than by a row some other path is free to
delete. Anything plumbed that intent no longer asks for is torn down, which also
covers a crash between the OVN delete and the unbind. A failed inventory fails
the pass: an empty list and an unreadable one are indistinguishable, and reading
the second as the first is a sweep that reports success having done nothing.

Close the window inside the pass too. The predecessor scrub now reads the row it
is about to drop and releases that address's host state, so the strand does not
exist between applyEIPs and the sweep rather than merely being repaired a step
later.

* fix: retry the release verify's libvirt calls like every other job does

The verify job drives the same libvirt provider on the same hypervisors as the
e2e cells, where a dropped connection under concurrent load is the steady state
and is retried. Here it was a hard failure that reads as a broken release. It
was skipped earlier only because the job checks out mulga and not spinifex, so
the shared helpers were not on disk — a sparse checkout of .github/scripts costs
nothing and makes apply and destroy behave like their e2e counterparts.

* fix: do not report a rebooting DB instance available on the pre-reboot agent's health

RegisterDBInstance stamped a fresh LastSeen while leaving Agent.EngineHealth at
the value the previous agent process reported. After a reboot the new agent
registers before it has probed anything, so the record read as a healthy engine
with a beat newer than the transition, and the reconciler moved the instance to
available while PostgreSQL was still starting up. A client that connects the
moment the status turns green then gets "the database system is starting up".

A register now discards the previous process's verdict and records when this
agent process started. The restart reconciler requires that registration to be
newer than the transition, which also closes the window where a beat lands
between the engine being stopped and the VM going down.

* test: record the credential kubectl sent when an EKS call comes back Unauthorized

The IRSA pod subtest's first kubectl is the gateway-CA configmap, which lands
before the pod dumps are registered, so a 401 there left no evidence at all. A
verbose read-only probe reports whether an Authorization header was sent, which
separates a token the apiserver rejected from one the exec plugin never made.

* fix: report a starting engine promptly, and budget CI jobs from the suite

The agent waited a full heartbeat interval before its first beat, so a restart
could not be observed as finished for up to 30 seconds after the engine was
already serving. Beat at startup instead, and report every 5 seconds until the
engine has answered once — the control plane is actively waiting on that beat,
and the steady-state cadence it hands back is for a database already serving.

The rds suite is the one most sensitive to what else the hypervisor is doing:
its DB VMs serialise behind a 4 GiB semaphore, so its wall clock is set by how
long it waits for the budget. The same pass ran 45m beside four nightly cells
and overran 50m beside nine, panicking with two tests still running. Raise its
budget to 60m.

That budget was then larger than the jobs meant to contain it. A job cancelled
on timeout reports only "The operation was canceled" and takes the artifacts
with it, so the inner `go test` timeout must always fire first — and it could
not for rds on e2e.yml, nor for storagefault or diskperf, which have asked for
90m and 180m inside a 60m job since they were added. Both workflows now resolve
their job budget from suite-sets.sh rather than carrying a literal: e2e.yml
from the largest requested suite, e2e-suites.yml per matrix leg, so a leg is
bounded by its own suite and not by the longest one beside it. The default push
set resolves to exactly the timeouts both workflows had before.

* fix: check a permutation cell's job budget against the suites it runs

The guard only saw cells that name a suite, so the nine that run a topology's
nightly subset were never checked against it — the same class of mistake the
guard exists to catch, in the majority of the cells. Bound each by the longest
suite in its subset: max() and not sum(), because whichever suite hangs must
panic on its own timeout first, and a sum would demand a budget the set has
never come close to using. Every cell clears it today.

* fix: report why a PostgreSQL engine would not start, and stop failing a stop that landed

Three defects, all found by the first rds pass that ever ran deep enough to
reach them.

A wait that saw an instance reach `failed` called t.Fatalf from inside the
polling condition, and testify runs that condition on its own goroutine. The
Goexit killed the tick and left the collector empty, which reads as the
condition being satisfied — so the wait returned successfully on an instance it
had just declared broken, logged "reached status available" about one that was
failed, and let the test carry on against it. Six conditions across four suites
call Fatal or require the same way. EventuallyErr now runs its condition on the
test's goroutine, which makes all six behave as written.

A DB VM stop has two drivers: the API call and the reconciler resuming one whose
caller it assumes has died. When they overlap the loser is told the VM is not in
a state to be stopped — which is the state the stop was heading for — and the
customer's StopDBInstance returned InvalidDBInstanceState for a stop that had
just completed. Both paths now treat a refused command the way they already
treat an unanswered one: it says nothing about the VM, so the fleet view
settles it.

PostgreSQL had no equivalent of the engine log tail MariaDB has carried since it
was added, so a postmaster that refuses a setting produced "engine did not
respond on /run/postgresql:5432" and nothing else — on a guest with no SSH,
whose console records only that pg_ctl could not start the server. The probe now
quotes the tail of the log the image already directs the postmaster to, and the
reboot and modify paths carry the agent's reason into the failure the way the
create path always has. The reason reaches the customer through StatusInfos.

The rds suite's budget goes to 90m and cell-27's job to 100m. Its wall clock is
what the DB-VM queue costs rather than what the tests do — single tests logged
11m, 22m and 26m waiting for budget — and the pass above still had three of
seventeen tests running at 60m.

* fix: keep a DB VM recoverable when its agent cannot start, and flush the volume before a snapshot

An rds-agent that failed to construct exited, so a transient IMDS credential
resolution took the guest down for good: rds-datadir and rds-init cascade on the
missing handoff, the engine never starts, and the control plane sees only silence
until it declares the instance failed ten minutes later. Construction is retried
like every other boot step instead.

OpenRC skips start_post when the start itself fails, which is the one case with
no diagnostic at all — the console carried nothing but "died". The log mirror
moves out of the handoff wait so a failed start uses it too.

A snapshot quiesced the engine and nothing else. The engine repairs its own files
from the WAL, but postgresql.conf sits beside them and it does not: a restore
came up on a torn tail and the postmaster stopped on a syntax error at the
unterminated include hook. The quiesce now flushes the whole data mount, and the
hook is renamed into place rather than appended, so a boot that finds a half
written one replaces it instead of appending after its open quote.

* fix: flush the config cloud-init wrote before a reset can take it

A DB instance rebooted seconds after it went available came back with no
RDS_GATEWAY_URL, so rds-agent could not reach the control plane and the engine
never started. cloud-init writes agent.env once, per-instance, and never again;
a reboot is a QMP system_reset with no guest shutdown, so the file was still
dirty page cache when the machine reset under it and the next boot read nothing.
The handoff wait now syncs, which is the point at which the agent has proved it
read that file.

* fix: stop dropping an EIP teardown published while vpcd is restarting

DisassociateAddress publishes vpc.delete-nat fire-and-forget. On run
34046316024 vpcd disconnected from NATS at 03:51:26.73 and its replacement
subscribed at 03:51:27.09; the publish landed at 03:51:26.92, in the gap, and
went nowhere. ReleaseAddress then returned the address to the pool two minutes
later with its /32 host route still delivering to the guest that had held it.

vpc.delete-nat now uses request-reply like vpc.add-nat, and retries only on
no-responders — which returns immediately, so the cost is paid solely when
nothing is listening. A teardown that still fails is logged as an error naming
the address rather than lost silently. Neither is fatal to the caller: the
reconciler's orphan sweep remains the backstop.

vpc.add-nat on the EIP path stays fire-and-forget. The shared helper blocks it
on the flows barrier for up to 45s, and associating an address should not
inherit that.

Two reconcile passes in that run had the address absent from intent and did not
sweep its host route, and the journal cannot say why: the sweep logged only when
it acted, so a route it kept was indistinguishable from one it never saw. It now
logs the bindings it found, kept and wanted.

* ci: render one run-level table for the e2e nightly

Reading a nightly meant opening nineteen jobs, and the Actions UI does not
separate a cell that failed from one cancelled out from under it — a
distinction every investigation of this suite has needed, and one the run
34046316024 analysis had to reach for the jobs API to get.

A final job, needs: every cell and if: always(), renders cell, topology,
result, duration, runner and per-cell test counts into the step summary, with
run-level totals, the three slowest cells and the failing test names.

Result, duration and runner come from the jobs API so a cell that died before
writing junit still gets a row. Counts come from a new junit-only artifact per
cell rather than the full cell artifact, so the roll-up does not pull nineteen
journals it has no use for.

Verified against run 34046316024: 14 success, 2 cancelled, 1 failure, with the
two cancellations shown as cancelled rather than folded into failure.

* fix: assert EC2's actual EIP semantics, and probe EKS auth on an authenticated path

natuplink asserted that an instance's auto-assigned public IP is still plumbed
after an EIP associated to the same instance is torn down. EC2 does the
opposite: associating an EIP releases the auto-assigned address back into the
pool, and it cannot be reused. Our datapath already does that — run 34059879666
shows 192.168.0.72's ingress removed at 07:09:44.000, 36ms before .73's was
installed — so the test was asserting behaviour neither AWS nor we have.

It now asserts the release at the point it happens, and that no public delivery
remains after the teardown. This surfaced only once the teardown itself started
working: the run's other assertions passed, including .73's removal, which was
the failure before.

Our records still disagree with our datapath — the ENI keeps the released
address, which is why termination tears the old one down twice and never the
current one. That is the remaining half of mulga-7zc9w and is not fixed here;
it needs an IPAM release on the associate path.

Separately, AuthDiagnostics read /version, which is anonymously readable, so its
200 was consistent with both branches it claimed to distinguish. It now runs
auth whoami, reads kube-system, and invokes the credential plugin directly,
reporting exit code, stderr and whether a token was produced — never the token,
since CI logs outlive it.

* test: capture per-guest state when a spread guest never answers SSH

TestMultinodeSpread's only failure dump is dumpPlacementNATDiag, which collects
OVN, OVS, ARP and route state aimed at the NAT and EIP half of the test. The
failure it actually hits is a guest that never accepted SSH — run 34040324968,
the guest on node3 at 10.100.2.5 — and for that it recorded no console, no port
binding and no tap state. There was no way to tell from the artifact whether the
guest booted at all.

Now dumps, per guest: the console, the NB logical switch port, the SB port
binding, the OVS interface backing its tap, and br-int's port list. Probed on
every node rather than the expected one, because a port bound on the wrong
chassis is exactly what a hosting-node-only dump cannot show.

Covers all three guests, not just the failing one, so a working guest is
available as the control.

* ci: sample hypervisor load either side of every cell

Eight runner names map onto three hypervisors, so cells that never share a
runner still share a host: when cell 10's SSH wait expired on run 34040324968,
cells 22, 17, 18 and 28 were concurrently live, two of them multi-node. Nothing
in the artifacts measured host load, which left co-tenancy as an explanation
that could be neither confirmed nor ruled out.

Records loadavg, MemAvailable, SwapFree, the cpu line carrying steal, and the
QEMU process count before and after each cell, into the cell artifact.

* ci: note that main's missing concurrency block is why the nightly runs ungrouped

Three refs carry three different groupings: main has no concurrency block at
all, dev uses e2e-nightly, this branch uses e2e-hypervisors. Scheduled runs load
the workflow from the default branch, so every cron nightly runs ungrouped and
cannot queue against anything — which is how a dispatch of 34050630627 ran
alongside the scheduled 34046316024 and cost it cells 24 and 27.

e2e-hypervisors is the right group and deliberately broader than dev's, since
e2e.yml, e2e-suites.yml and e2e-ddil.yml draw on the same runner pools. Nothing
on a feature branch can fix this; the block has to reach main.

Ben Duncan d65c4f3673 fix: family-qualify unscoped firewall accepts to IPv4 (#999)
The public, formation and DNS accept rules carried no address family, so
on a node that autoconfigures a global IPv6 from an upstream Router
Advertisement they served the console, predastore S3 gate, AWS gateway
and DNS on that public address with none of the source scoping applied on
IPv4. Qualify them with meta nfproto ipv4 so v6 falls to the default
drop; the scoped rules are already v4-only via ip saddr.

Ben Duncan 828b5df4aa fix: pause a guest on a backend I/O error instead of handing it EIO (#977)
* fix: fail DRAIN when a volume seal failed

shutdownAndUnmount logged the volume unmount error and returned nothing, so
StopAll returned nil and the DRAIN phase ACKed success with vms_stopped set.
The coordinator then advanced to STORAGE and stopped viperblock while the seal
was still in flight, tearing the VBState envelope and leaving the guest unable
to mount its root volume on the next boot. The deploy reported success.

shutdownAndUnmount now returns ErrVolumeSealFailed when the unmount did not
seal; QMP, PID-file, fw_cfg and telemetry cleanup stay best-effort. stopCleanup
and stopOne carry it without aborting the rest of the teardown, since QEMU is
already down by then, and StopAll aggregates the per-VM failures so
handleShutdownDrain ACKs with Error set and never reports vms_stopped.

volumeMounterAdapter.Unmount was the second swallow site: it logged each failed
seal and returned nil unconditionally. It now attempts every volume and returns
the aggregate, which is what the VolumeMounter contract already described.

Terminate still tolerates a failed seal — the volumes are deleted next, so an
unsealed block map loses nothing a caller can ask for.

This does not fix the seal itself. It converts silent data loss into a refused
upgrade that an operator can act on.

* test: add the storagefault e2e suite for backend-outage guest survival

Freezes predastore with SIGSTOP to hold connections open while answering
nothing, which is the fault a timeout-free path cannot distinguish from a
slow peer. On one node that is a total outage; on three it freezes every
node but the guest's own, breaking the RS(2,1) shard floor.

The suite writes and flushes a verifiable region before the fault and
churns a separate unverified region during it, so an interrupted write is
never mistaken for lost data. The root-filesystem load runs from the
user's home rather than /tmp, which is tmpfs on this image and would move
no bytes on the root device.

* test: verify the root device is under write pressure, and size the outage

The previous guard matched /^ *vda / against /proc/diskstats, where the
device name is the third field, and read $7 which is ms_reading rather
than sectors_written. It printed empty and asserted nothing, so a green
run could not distinguish a surviving guest from an idle disk. It now
samples sectors_written twice and fails unless it advances.

The outage is sized from viperblock's absorption rather than guessed:
a workload must fill DefaultMaxPendingBytes before backpressure engages
at all, so a short freeze measures the retry budget rather than the fault.

* test: add nbdkit fault injection to the storage-fault e2e suite

The predastore freeze takes the whole storage cluster away from every
guest on it, which is too broad to run beside anything else. Removing a
single volume's NBD server is the same fault at one-volume scope: one
host, one guest, nothing cluster-wide stopped.

Both signals are here because they sit on opposite sides of the defect.
SIGSTOP holds the socket open and answers nothing, so the guest blocks
and no error reaches ext4. SIGKILL closes it, and QEMU's nbd driver at
the default reconnect-delay of 0 fails requests at once, which under
werror=report aborts the journal.

Signalling is guarded: a pid is matched on comm, our plugin and the
volume argument together, and re-confirmed immediately before the
signal, because these hosts run nbdkit for other volumes and pids are
reused.

* fix: pause a guest on a backend I/O error instead of handing it EIO

Every virtio-blk device was created with werror=report,rerror=report, so a
backend outage was delivered to the guest as EIO. ext4 aborts its journal on
that and remounts read-only, and the write that failed is simply gone. Under
werror=stop QEMU pauses the VM and holds the failed request, so a backend that
comes back resumes the guest with nothing lost.

The boot drive, the cold-boot data volume and the hot-plugged data volume all
move to stop. Alongside it the NBD transport gets reconnect-delay=30, which
pauses requests rather than failing them while a storage process restarts on
the same socket; on the legacy -drive form it has to be file.reconnect-delay,
because the bare name reaches the raw format driver, which has no such option.

The QMP heartbeat now recognises run state io-error and issues cont. After ten
attempts the instance is reported impaired and the cadence drops to one attempt
per ten heartbeats, but it never stops: QEMU holds the request for as long as
the guest exists, so a backend that returns an hour later can still be resumed.

The storagefault suite gains the fault this was written for — kill the volume's
own nbdkit, hold, then put it back on the same socket — and it now verifies a
sha256 region across the outage rather than trusting the guest to be reachable.
Three harness defects went with it: the socket-liveness poll ran unprivileged
against a 0770 directory and could never succeed, the relaunched socket was
left 0755 where QEMU needs group write, and the two variants shared one guest
so a fault in the first was diagnosed in the second.

* test: cover the io-error resume policy

* test: stop two parallel tests racing on the terminate backoff variable

* fix: report a guest paused on a backend I/O error as impaired

A guest held by werror=stop kept reporting ok on both status checks. QMP stays
responsive while the guest is paused -- cont is being sent and answered -- so
the QMP failure gate that DescribeInstanceStatus keys on never trips, and the
one state a customer most needs to see looked healthy.

Instance status now reports impaired/failed while the resume budget is
non-zero, timestamped from IOErrorSince so impairedSince is when the guest
paused rather than when it was escalated. System status reports impaired too:
a backend I/O error is an infrastructure fault, not a guest one, and that
distinction is what the two checks exist to draw. The counter is cleared by
the first poll that sees the guest running, so both clear on recovery.

* test: reap the relaunched nbdkit when the fault test ends

relaunchNbdkit detaches the server with setsid so it outlives the SSH session
that started it, and viperblockd never learned it exists. Nothing reaped it, so
every run left an nbdkit holding a socket and a cache for a volume that was
later detached or deleted -- four were found running on dev-prod against two
detached and two deleted volumes.

The PID is resolved from the socket path rather than the volume id, so a
legitimate viperblockd server for the same volume is never the one killed.

* test: prove the backend is serving before a fault is called cleared

Thawing the process a fault stopped is not the same as restoring the service.
The outage test treated SIGCONT as the end of the fault and went straight to
judging the guest, so it passed while the cluster it ran on stayed unable to
serve a single object for the next 35 minutes, and the next test would have
inherited that.

thawPredastore now puts and gets an object through every gate, with a budget,
and fails the test if the backend does not come back.

* fix: do not hand back a mount entry whose export is gone

A volume whose unmount failed kept its entry in MountedVolumes while its nbdkit
was gone. Every later ebs.mount then matched that entry and returned its socket
path, so vmMgr waited for a socket nothing would ever create and the instance
could not be started again — on dev-prod a guest stopped against a frozen
backend was left permanently stopped, four start attempts failing identically
on a socket the node had already removed.

Drop the entry when there is positive evidence the export is dead: the socket
is absent, or the recorded pid is not running. Neither can be true of a live
export, so the double-writer hazard the guard exists to prevent is unaffected.

Also make the durability test's pattern helpers report failures. The read dd sat
in a pipeline, so its exit status was discarded and the harness hashed nothing
and returned the empty-string sha256 as a checksum.

* test: report the guest console when a restart never answers SSH

A restart that reaches running but never comes back is indistinguishable from
a dead root filesystem without the serial console, and the log is gone once
the fixture terminates the instance.

* fix: converge guest port datapaths concurrently, not one deadline after another

Each guest port that misses its SB binding burns the full convergence deadline,
and applyEIPs spent them in series. Three ports belonging to long-stopped
instances therefore held a newly launched guest's EIP dark for the sum of them
before its own probe started.

AddEIP stays serial since it mutates NB. Only the waits fan out, bounded, and
sb-cluster-state-reset is now serialised with a minimum interval so concurrent
probes cannot each fire a cluster-wide resync.

* fix: refuse a stale cross-node start after the owning node is gone

The volume lease already refused a cross-node mount, but it is a liveness
claim: 45s TTL, renewed every 15s. A node that dies holding un-uploaded
writes stops renewing, and 45 seconds later nothing refuses a start elsewhere
that loads a stale backend checkpoint.

A failed seal now writes a durable marker naming the node holding the only
current copy, cleared on a seal that reaches the backend and on delete. The
lease covers a live holder, the marker a dead one.

The refusal also reaches the caller instead of being flattened to
ServerInternal, which told an operator to retry something that cannot succeed
while the holder is down.

* fix: keep the daemon's message when a start is refused

Rebuilding the error from the code alone rendered the generic ErrorLookup
text, so a refusal naming the node holding the volume reached the caller as
boilerplate about attaching volumes.

* fix(ec2): terminate detaches every DeleteOnTermination=false volume

TerminateStoppedInstance skipped the detach for a non-Boot DoT=false volume
on the assumption that Stop's Unmount had already cleared its attachment.
Unmount only clears it when the seal succeeded, so a volume whose seal failed
stayed in-use pointing at an instance that terminate then deleted, leaving it
unreachable with no owner to release it.

The running-instance path already detaches every DoT=false volume; the stopped
path now matches it, and tolerates an already-gone volume the same way.

DeleteVolume also keeps its provider error on the way out. The terminate reaper
retries the delete every two minutes and logged a bare ServerInternal, which
made a blob node being down indistinguishable from a transient fault.

* fix(ec2): DetachVolume --force releases a volume whose instance is gone

The ordinary detach routes to ec2.cmd.{instanceID} for the guest unplug, so a
volume left attached by a part-way teardown could never be detached: the
instance no longer runs anywhere and nothing answers. That also made it
undeletable, since DeleteVolume refuses an attached volume.

ForceDetachVolume already existed for this deadlock but was reachable only from
account teardown. Force now falls back to it when the instance has no responder,
which is the one case where clearing the attachment cannot strand a live guest.

* fix(viperblock): unsealed writes steer placement instead of pinning a volume

The dirty marker refused any mount from a node other than the one holding
unsealed writes. Instance start already forwards to the node that last ran the
instance and falls back after a 30s window, so that refusal turned a working
fallback into a volume that could run nowhere once its owner was gone. It
traded a rare data-loss risk for a permanent availability failure.

The marker is now a record and a warning, not a gate. A takeover logs the
previous holder and why it could not seal, then adopts the marker so the old
node is no longer treated as the better source. Live exclusion is unchanged and
still enforced by the lease.

It is also written on open rather than on seal failure. A node killed mid-write
never reaches its seal, so the old trigger left no trace in exactly the case the
marker exists to describe.

Adds 'spx admin volumes unsealed' to see which volumes would cost something if
started elsewhere.

* fix(viperblock): fence a volume whose lease moved instead of logging it

The lease was checked once, at mount, and never again. A node that lost it
kept its export up and kept writing into a volume another node owned, so
both copies advanced and the backend settled it by arrival order.

Losing a renewal now decides: another holder means tear the export down,
no holder means the entry merely aged out, so reclaim it and leave the
guest running. Fencing never seals — this node's copy is the stale one —
and leaves the dirty marker for the winner to take over.

This is not an epoch fence. It narrows the window from the 45s TTL to one
renewal interval at no write-path cost; the backend still cannot refuse a
stale writer.

* fix(network): advertise EIPs so a recycled address is reachable

The gateway switch port only asked ovn-northd to publish the router's NAT
addresses in centralised and routed modes, so on a distributed cluster nothing
ever announced an elastic IP. OVN still answers ARP for it, which is why a
first-time allocation works and hid this — but no gratuitous ARP is sent when
the address moves to a new ENI, so every host on the segment keeps resolving it
to the previous holder's MAC until its cache ages out. Reusing an address from
the pool then lands on a dead MAC and the instance is unreachable from outside.

Distributed mode needs the option as much as the others: northd scopes each
entry with is_chassis_resident(<vif port>), so the announcement leaves from the
chassis running the instance rather than the gateway, which is what distributed
NAT wants.

Converge on the already-attached path too. AttachIGW returns early once the
gateway port exists and nothing else rewrites it, so without that an existing
VPC would stay silent for its whole life.

Confirmed on dev-prod: setting the option moved three EIPs from unadvertised to
carrying their correct external_mac, each scoped to its own ENI's port.

* fix(viperblock): make the volume fence and its dirty marker ownership-safe

Four corrections to the lease-loss fence, all found in review.

Drop the reacquire path. Losing a lease and finding no successor was treated as
a lapsed entry worth reclaiming, but leases.acquire returns the cached entry —
already flagged lost, with a dead renewal goroutine — so the "reclaimed" lease
renewed nothing and the node went on writing a volume it could not prove it
owned. The two errors are not symmetric: a false fence costs one guest a
restart, a false reclaim leaves two nodes writing one volume. Fence in both
cases, and report which happened through the outcome attribute.

Surrender a lease this node cannot confirm. Renewal only noticed a loss when
the server rejected an update, so a node partitioned from NATS kept its export
up while the TTL expired and another node took the volume. Track the last
confirmed renewal and give the volume up once that ages past the point where
the server may admit another owner. Bound the renewal call too, so a hung
JetStream request cannot hold the goroutine past that point.

Do not act on a kill that did not take. Both the fence and ebs.unmount removed
the mount entry, released the lease and announced the result before knowing
nbdkit had exited — the fence then reported a writer stopped that was still
running, and the unmount sealed into a directory a live process was writing.
Wait for the exit, and on failure leave the volume mounted and say so. An
already-exited process now counts as success, which is what the caller asked.

Give the dirty marker a generation. It recorded an owner and nothing to order
two nodes' claims, so a node returning after a takeover could clear or overwrite
the winner's marker and point placement back at the stale copy. Stamp the lease
generation, refuse a write from an older one, and only clear a marker this node
still owns. A marker that cannot be written now fails the open rather than
leaving writes nothing records.

* test(viperblock): cover the stall surrender and the unmount kill guard

The two ownership cases the fence work left untested.

A holder partitioned from NATS while the winner keeps it never gets an update
rejected, so revision checking cannot see it — it has to give the volume up on
its own clock. Pins that validity sits below the server TTL with room for a
check in between, that a lapsed holder reports the loss as a stall rather than
as a takeover, and that releasing a surrendered lease leaves the entry for
whoever holds it now.

The unmount side of the kill guard: sealing under a live nbdkit writes a state
torn between two writers, so a kill that did not take has to fail the unmount
and leave the entry mounted for a retry.

* fix(e2e): keep the guest private key for as long as the key pair

EnsureKeyPair computed the PEM path from the caller's directory but wrote
the file inside the ensureOnce closure, which runs only on the first call.
Callers passed a per-test artifact dir, and ArtifactDir removes that dir
when the test passes — so the first test's success deleted the only copy
of the private key while the key pair stayed registered, and every later
call returned a path nothing had ever been written to.

Guests after the first were then launched against a public key whose
private half no longer existed, so the harness could never authenticate
and gave up after the full five-minute budget. The guests were healthy
and reachable on tcp/22 throughout, which is why this read as a storage
or network fault for so long.

The directory parameter was the defect, so it is gone: the PEM now lives
in a directory the fixture owns and removes with the key pair, and no
caller can supply one that is shorter-lived.

Also reorder the killed-nbdkit teardown. The reaper registered its own
cleanup after the detach registered one, so LIFO killed the block server
before the platform detached the disk and DetachVolume then failed with
"Node ... is in use". The detach cleanup now reaps once it is done.

* fix: stop leaking an nbdkit export when recovery cannot adopt it

Restart recovery adopts a guest's boot volume, then routinely fails the
-efi volume with "claim lease: context deadline exceeded" -- JetStream is
still catching up at daemon start and the KV claim runs on the client's
5s default. Recovery gave up on the first error and never retried, so the
export stayed live with no registry entry. At terminate the unmount found
nothing to seal, returned NotFound and killed nothing, and the process
outlived its guest holding the volume and socket open. EFI is always the
second volume adopted, which is why it was always the one that leaked.

Two changes, because either alone leaves a hole:

- rebuildMountedVolume retries the build (4 attempts, 3s apart) so a
  JetStream that is merely slow no longer orphans an export for the life
  of the process.
- unmountVolume reaps a corroborated export for the volume it was asked
  to unmount when the registry has no entry for it, so an export orphaned
  by any means is still cleaned up. The reap goes through
  reapOrphanedNbdkit, which declines anything a live process references:
  at unmount the guest's blockdev may not be torn down yet, and killing
  the server underneath it strands QEMU.

* test: hold the backend-serving probe and assert predastore readiness

The backend-outage test declared the backend restored on one successful
round trip through each gate. A gate can answer the request that arrives
just after a thaw and then lose its blob peers under the load that
follows, which is a backend that never recovered reported as one that did
-- and that is what happened: the probe reported all three gates serving
minutes before the guest was still taking BLOCK_IO_ERROR on every resume.

The round trip has to hold across three rounds now, and the count restarts
rather than decays when one fails, so a gate that serves and then stops is
the failure the hold is looking for rather than noise it averages out.

It also checks /readyz on each host and reports any failed check by name.
The round trip only proves this workstation can write through a gate; it
says nothing about which blob peers that gate can reach, and a gate one
node short of the write floor serves a small object and fails a guest. A
host that serves no admin listener is logged and skipped, since the port
is optional configuration.

* fix: scope predastore's admin port to the cluster plane in the host policy

predastore's admin listener binds the host's cluster bind_addr and serves
/healthz and /readyz unauthenticated. Readiness now names which blob peers
a gate cannot reach, which is exactly the kind of topology detail 4432 is
peer-scoped for, so 8660 joins it in the peer-scoped rule rather than the
public one.

* fix: keep resuming a paused guest at heartbeat rate after a long outage

Past ten attempts the cont dropped to one per ten heartbeats, so a guest
whose backend had come back could sit paused for another five minutes
before anything retried it. Measured on dev-prod: the backend was proved
serving through all three gates while the guest was still waiting on
attempt 60, five minutes after attempt 50.

The slowdown was there to avoid paying a failed I/O every thirty seconds
on a backend still down. That is nearly free, and five minutes of downtime
after recovery is not, so only the log line is throttled now.

* test: fail the run when a key pair name resolves to more than one pair

A create that lands twice leaves two key pairs with one name and different
material. RunInstances resolves the name to one of them while the harness
holds the private key of the other, and the only symptom is every guest in
the run refusing the key at the SSH gate — five minutes of waiting per
guest, four guests, and nothing anywhere naming the cause. Observed on
dev-prod: two pairs created a millisecond apart, both named
e2e-key-30de10ba.

One DescribeKeyPairs after the create says so outright instead.

* test: tolerate an already-released volume in the detach teardown

Teardown runs DetachVolumeWait after a terminate that releases the volume
itself, so the detach can arrive at a volume already on its way to
available. That is the outcome it wanted, and treating the IncorrectState
refusal as fatal failed a backend-outage run whose assertions had all
passed — the guest came back, every acknowledged write verified, and the
test still went red on the way out.

VolumeInUse is still fatal: that one means the volume is attached
somewhere it should not be.

* test: carry the merged suites onto the reworked key-pair and account-scoped seams

The diskperf suite arrived on dev calling EnsureKeyPair with the artifact dir
this branch removed, and DeleteVolume's metadata lookup is account-scoped now,
so the provider-failure test has to seed and delete under the same account.

* refactor: make the fence outcome a type in one const block

Four separate exported string constants with a paragraph of comment each,
passed to RecordVolumeFence as a bare string. Group them, give them a
FenceOutcome type, and take that type at both call sites so an arbitrary
value can no longer reach the metric attribute.

* refactor: move viperblockd's wire contract into a leaf vbwire package

The daemon imported viperblockd for exactly two symbols -- the fenced
volume subject and its event -- which put the storage service back on the
daemon's dependency graph to name something it only listens for.

vbwire holds the contract instead: the subject and event, the dirty
bucket name and record shape, and the read-only listing an operator tool
needs. It imports nothing from spinifex, so both the daemon and the admin
CLI drop their edge to viperblockd entirely. cmd/service.go keeps its
one, which is genuine: it constructs the service.

* docs: drop a specific host name from the start-refusal comment

Named a real dev-prod host in a comment and in test fixtures. Say what
the name is instead.

* ci: give storagefault a dedicated nightly cell

The suite is eligible for both topologies and runs on the PR gate, but no
nightly cell ran it: the permutation cells run a deliberately narrow
subset and none of the dedicated suite cells named it.

Cell 29, single-node, following eks/ecs/rds. It cannot join a permutation
cell -- it SIGSTOPs a cluster-wide service, so every suite sharing that
environment would report the outage as its own failure.

* ci: run storagefault nightly on three nodes, not one

The previous commit put its dedicated cell on a single-node runner. That was
the wrong topology and the wrong justification: single-node is RS(1,0), where
the shard floor cannot be broken and a cross-node takeover after a failed seal
does not exist, so the two assertions worth having a dedicated cell for were
the two it could not make. Cell 29 is now real-multi on ci-multi.

It also corrects the claim that the PR gate already covers the multi-node case.
The suite is eligible for both topologies, but e2e.yml's default suite list
never names it, so it has never run there. A full pass is ~63 minutes on
dev-prod bare metal, almost all of it deliberate waiting -- one test holds
predastore SIGSTOPped for seven minutes -- which is too long to add to a gate
that currently finishes well inside its budget. Nightly is where it belongs.

Consequences: a per-cell timeout_minutes, defaulting to the previous 50, since
90 minutes of suite cannot run in a 50-minute job; the permutation steps gated
on matrix.suite == '' so the dedicated cells do not also run them; and a Run
Multi Suite E2E step that builds NODES_CSV from the tofu inventory and asserts
the suite against E2E_SUITES_MULTI before running it.

* fix: stop a startup KV race leaving vpcd serving keyless guests

vpcd opens five KV buckets while NATS is still coming up, each attempt
carrying a ~5s JetStream API deadline, and applied three different policies to
the same failure: spinifex-vpc-enis was fatal, while instance-state,
security-groups, subnets and vpcs each degraded silently for the lifetime of
the process. A five-second blip during a cold start therefore decided how a
node served metadata until someone restarted it.

On dev-prod all three nodes hit this after a deploy. Two were saved by
accident: their ENI bucket also timed out, so they exited 1 and systemd
restarted them cleanly. The third's ENI bucket opened in time, so it never
crashed and ran for hours with no instance record loader. With the local state
file unreadable as well, every instance-backed IMDS leaf 404'd, cloud-init's
crawl died on ami-id and fell back to DataSourceNone, and every guest launched
on that node booted with no authorized_keys.

kvstore.OpenWithRetry retries for a bounded window before any policy applies,
logs the cause per attempt and the wait on a late success, wraps the last error
with the bucket name, and returns at once on a cancelled context. All five
opens use it. Failing to open the instance record space is now fatal, matching
the ENI bucket: the dependency whose loss stops guests logging in should not be
treated more leniently than the one whose loss stops ENI resolution.

Also fixes the reason the fallback was load bearing at all. The local state
file was written 0600 and vpcd reads it as a different user in the shared
spinifex group, so the local-first path had never once worked and its
mtime+size cache had never fired. It is 0640 now, set with an explicit Chmod so
an inherited umask cannot undo it.

Closes mulga-gtpzz, mulga-dhqxr. Still open: mulga-mm2oc, IMDS serving an
unresolvable instance as "no key pair" with nothing logged.

* fix: scope the ime-* firewall accept to IMDS and VPC DNS only

The per-tap OVS demux delivers any guest packet addressed to
169.254.169.254 or .253 onto an ime-* host port regardless of L4 port,
and iifname "ime-*" accept then admitted all of it. Every wildcard-bound
host service — sshd, the AWS gateway, northstar, the console — answered
guest packets on those addresses; only asymmetric reply routing kept the
handshake from completing, and a guest could still drive northstar to
recurse unthrottled. Scope the accept to IMDS (.254:80) and VPC DNS
(.253:53), letting everything else fall through to policy drop.

* docs: document the instance-to-host plane and how to protect it without the ISO

The metadata/VPC-DNS link-local plane (169.254.169.254/.253) is served by
host services and is invisible to a NIC-level or cloud firewall, since the
traffic is intra-host on the OVS bridge. Explain that the ISO ships the
scoping rule armed, that the binary installer ships the firewall off, and
that a non-ISO install must enable it with setup.sh --firewall=on or
firewall_enabled=true. Include verification from an instance and the host.

* fix: withhold the IMDS meta-data listing when the instance does not resolve

Every omission from the meta-data root is a positive claim about the instance —
public-keys/ absent means "launched without a key pair", and cloud-init believes
it, writes no authorized_keys and boots the guest keyless. So resolving the
instance was best-effort for a listing whose whole meaning depends on it: a
backend error or a miss shortened the listing instead of failing it, and nothing
anywhere recorded that the answer was a guess.

Withhold the listing with a 500 instead. cloud-init retries a 5xx and cannot
retry a 200 that is merely wrong, so this converts a permanent silent failure
into a transient loud one. servePublicKeys already had this policy for the leaf;
the root is what contradicted it.

A profile lookup that fails still serves the listing minus iam/, and now logs.
The key pair is the field a guest cannot recover from losing, while a missing
role surfaces through the credentials leaf, which reports the miss itself.

Also stops the storagefault cross-node test failing on its own access path. It
tolerates the pattern changing across a takeover, but readPattern needs sudo,
and a volume opened from the backend checkpoint may predate cloud-init writing
its sudoers drop-in — indistinguishable from an unreadable device at the dd call
site. It now checks sudo first, and reads cloud-init's recorded datasource to
tell a rolled-back root filesystem from IMDS never having answered, failing
loudly on the latter rather than accepting it as storage loss.

Josh Siviour c767f2b6ee feat: judge DescribeInstances completeness by responder identity, and resolve IMDS locally (#985)
* feat: stamp the owning node's AZ on the instance record

RunInstance never persists a node's AZ onto the stored instance, so
today only the launching node's own ProjectInstance call can produce
a correct AZ for a describe. Add VM.AZ, carry it on InstanceStatus
since it is placement observed by the running node, and stamp it in
WriteRunningSet alongside Status.LastNode from the node's own
config.AZ.

* docs: trim the AZ field comment to the project's three-line limit

* fix: identify Gather responders by node, not by frame count

utils.Gather previously counted reply frames toward completeness, so
two subscriptions replying from one host (a daemon mid-restart) could
satisfy a fan-out while a genuinely configured node stayed silent.

Every daemon reply now carries an X-Node-ID header set by the shared
response helpers via nats.Msg.RespondMsg, so Gather can attribute each
frame to the node that sent it. Gather gains a CollectionMode
(CollectServeData preserves today's early-exit behavior;
CollectUntilDeadline collects to the full deadline for absence-proof
callers) and returns node-identified Frames plus Responders/
SuccessResponders/ErrorResponders sets. Identity mode retains only the
first payload seen per node; a disagreeing later frame from the same
node flags a conflict but never overwrites the retained data.

Node identity uses one namespace across the reply header,
config.ClusterConfig.Nodes keys, daemon.Heartbeat.Node, and
vm.VM.LastNode, all traced back to Daemon.node - confirmed to already
agree, with a new test asserting it at runtime.

This is a mechanical caller-side follow-on: every existing
utils.Gather caller now reads frame.Data instead of frame directly.

* feat: thread configured node set to DescribeInstances

GatewayConfig gains NodeIDs, the keys of config.ClusterConfig.Nodes,
distinct from the existing ExpectedNodes count. awsgw builds it from
cluster config and wires it into GatewayConfig. The DescribeInstances
action passes gw.NodeIDs through instead of relying on
gw.DiscoverActiveNodes(ctx) at that call site, so completeness can be
judged against the nodes that are actually configured rather than the
nodes that happened to answer a discovery probe.

* fix: judge DescribeInstances completeness by node identity

DescribeInstancesChecked now judges completeness on decoded frames
against the configured node set (ValidResponders) rather than on
Gather's frame/byte counts, which cannot know the describe schema. A
node that answers with a nil Reservations list is a valid responder,
not an invalid one - the existing merge guard on Reservations != nil
governs how frames combine, not whether the node counted as having
answered.

The explicit-instance-ID 404 path now collects with
CollectUntilDeadline so a node that hasn't replied yet cannot be
mistaken for a node that has nothing to report; general listing stays
on CollectServeData. Any ambiguity - an unidentified frame, a node
appearing in both the success and error sets, a node replying twice
with disagreeing frames, a Gather cap hit, or an empty/unset node set
- suppresses the NotFound rather than risking a false one.

* fix: let a describe by instance id stop once every id is found

CollectUntilDeadline made every DescribeInstances with explicit ids wait the
full 3s fan-out deadline, measured at 4650ms against 1655ms before, on a
healthy cluster where all three nodes answer in about a millisecond.

Gather gains a Settled predicate, consulted only under CollectUntilDeadline,
that ends collection once the replies already answer the question. Absence
still pays the whole deadline, and an instance the caller cannot see is
filtered out of every frame so it takes the absence path too, which keeps the
two NotFound answers indistinguishable in time.

* refactor: resolve IMDS instance metadata local-first, drop the fan-out

IMDS only ever serves a guest on its own node, so a DescribeInstances
fan-out to the whole cluster is unnecessary latency and load. Resolve
from the node's own on-disk VM state first, falling back to a direct
record-space read for an instance that has moved off this node.
Neither path issues a NATS request.

* perf: cache the local instance state parse for IMDS lookups

IMDS request rate is guest-driven and unbounded, so re-reading and
re-parsing the whole on-disk VM state on every request does not
scale with VM count on a node. Cache the parsed state and only
re-read when the file's mtime or size changes; a stat or parse
failure clears the cache and falls back to the record space rather
than serving a stale hit.

* fix: share ManagedBy visibility rule between DescribeInstances and IMDS

Extracts IsInstanceVisibleToCaller so account ownership and the
platform-managed hide rule live in one place instead of two
independently maintained copies.

* refactor: decouple IMDS instance lookup from the daemon package

handlers/imds no longer imports daemon: NewIMDSServiceImpl now takes a
localStateReader and a recordLoader interface instead of a dataDir
string, and vpcd (the composition root for both planes) constructs
both adapters, including the stat-guarded local-state cache that used
to live inline in handlers/imds. Either adapter may be nil, degrading
that source to a miss rather than failing IMDS to start.

* test: move the local state reader test to an external package

* chore: exempt export_test.go from the external test package check

The check's own remedy text tells you to move unexported hooks into an
export_test.go, then flags that file for being in-package — which it is by
definition, since exporting internals is its whole purpose.

* fix: bound how many describes may hold a full fan-out deadline

A describe naming an instance the caller cannot see is filtered out of every
frame, so it never settles early and holds a gateway goroutine and inbox
subscription for the whole 3s deadline. Issuing those is free for the caller,
so nothing stopped a burst of them pinning unbounded gateway state.

Absence proofs now draw on a fixed budget. Past it, callers get a retryable
RequestLimitExceeded rather than being queued, since queueing would let the
backlog grow. The decision is taken before any reply is read, so a nonexistent
id and another account's id throttle identically and the throttle cannot become
the timing oracle the deadline exists to close.

* perf: settle describe-by-id on responder coverage, not the full deadline

Every describe-by-id was paying the whole 3s fan-out deadline whenever the
requested instance was not in a running-instance frame — which includes a
stopped instance, a terminated one, an id belonging to another account, and
an id that does not exist.

Gather gains ResponderGrace: once every ExpectedResponders node has
answered, collection closes after a short grace window instead of running to
the deadline. Core NATS gives a request only to the subscribers present when
it was published, so an overlapping subscription replies alongside the first
and one that arrives later never receives the request at all. Waiting past
full coverage cannot find a reply that full coverage missed. The window is
armed once and never extended, so a node replying repeatedly cannot hold the
fan-out open. The full deadline is now paid only when a node stays silent,
which is the case it was always meant to cover.

The stopped and terminated bucket queries now run alongside the fan-out
rather than after it, so their latency overlaps it instead of adding to it.
They feed a shared instanceSettler that ends collection as soon as every
requested id has been seen, skipping even the grace window.

The timing oracle is unchanged. An instance the caller cannot see is
filtered out of every source before the reply is sent, so it takes the same
path as an id that does not exist: both answer NotFound after full responder
coverage, and remain indistinguishable in time.

* fix: stop parallel tests racing the terminate backoff seam

terminateRetrySleep is a package global, and every test that needed it
neutered swapped it and restored the old value from t.Cleanup. Those tests
run in parallel, so two cleanups could write the seam at once — a real data
race the detector caught once enough parallel tests shared the binary.

Installed once in TestMain instead. Nothing in this package wants the real
backoff, so there is no value in restoring it per test.

Josh Siviour 4c948512d1 fix: follow ListObjectsV2 continuation tokens on every production caller (#958)
* fix: follow ListObjectsV2 continuation tokens on every production caller

Six ListObjectsV2 call sites (DeleteSnapshot, DescribeSnapshots, EKS
etcd-snapshot selection, DescribeTags, and both key-pair listings) issued a
single request and never read IsTruncated or NextContinuationToken. This was
latent while predastore ignored max-keys and always answered IsTruncated:
false; predastore#117 pages listings at 1000 keys, turning a truncated
listing beyond that into a silently wrong answer rather than a short one.
DeleteSnapshot in particular could delete 1000 objects, report success, and
orphan the rest, and the EKS restore path could resolve to a stale snapshot
if the newest keys fell past the first page.

Add objectstore.ListAll, a shared helper that drains a listing to
exhaustion, accumulating Contents and CommonPrefixes across pages and
erroring instead of returning a partial result if the server claims
truncation with no token to resume from or never finishes within a bounded
page budget. All six call sites, plus the ebsfake test double with the same
shape, now use it. Bump the predastore pin to dev head ff6a1dc4 so a real
cluster picks up the server-side pagination fix this depends on.

* fix: use external test packages and exclude test fakes from diff coverage

test-package-check requires new test files to bind to the exported API so
internals can change without rewriting tests. Move list_test.go and
delete_snapshot_pagination_test.go to their _test packages, adding a small
export_test.go for the one unexported constant a test needs to assert
against. Simplify list_test.go's pagingStore to embed MemoryObjectStore
instead of hand-stubbing unused methods.

Exclude spinifex/testutil from diff-coverage.sh: those files are fakes and
harnesses driven only from other packages' _test.go files, so go test
records them as zero-covered under the package they live in however hard
another package's tests exercise them, which is not a real coverage gap.

Julian Sommer 62c1378b79 fix: raise the Ubuntu minimum to 24.04 (mulga-ucvsq)
Ubuntu 22.04 was accepted by detect_os but the runtime apt list has never
resolved on jammy, which ships dhcpcd5 rather than dhcpcd-base. No CI cell
or E2E matrix installs on it, and the install docs already claim Ubuntu
26.04 and Debian 13 only, so drop the claim instead of carrying a
jammy-conditional package branch for an untested suite.

Ben Duncan 92c2de0017 feat(firewall): scope ssh to an operator allowlist in custom.nft (#881)
The generated policy accepted ssh from any source and setup.sh rewrote
spinifex.nft on every run, so there was nowhere to record an allowlist that
survived an upgrade.

custom.nft is created once, never rewritten, and kept across a node reset.
It holds a define rather than rules, so an operator supplies a value and
cannot write a rule that fails the ruleset. The default accepts every source,
which is what the policy already did.

Josh Siviour bed994859c fix: durable Ochre/RDS appliance lifecycle (static ENI, teardown GC, stale LSP) (#852)
* fix: join the daemon host-port ENI to the appliance security group

The customer ENI's self-referencing SG drops all ingress except its own
members, so the daemon's host-port ENI could open TCP but never complete a
postgres handshake. Carry the appliance's security groups onto the daemon ENI
at create, and re-associate an already-created one in place.

* fix: complete teardown GC when a volume's metadata doc is already gone

DeleteVolumeOnTerminate and DetachVolumeOnTerminate propagated the
NoSuchKey error from a missing volume metadata doc as a hard failure, so
the teardown reaper backed off forever and never purged the terminated
record. A missing metadata doc means the volume is already gone, so treat
it as success via objectstore.IsNoSuchKeyError at both call sites, with a
matching tolerance in the instance-cleaner adapter.

* fix: statically address the RDS customer ENI so it survives the DHCP lease

The customer ENI was configured via a one-shot udhcpc with no renewal
against OVN's 3600s lease, so the DB endpoint went address-less an hour
after every boot. Resolve the customer subnet's prefix and gateway at
launch and emit the ENI as a static NIC (CIDR + gateway, never the
default route), mirroring the mgmt NIC, so it no longer depends on the
lease being renewed. The guest static branch now installs the same
source-based return-path policy a non-default DHCP NIC gets.

* fix: delete the OVN logical switch port when an ENI is deleted

An ENI delete published vpc.delete-port fire-and-forget, so a lost or slow
message let the ENI record and its IP free through with the logical switch
port still in OVN. A recreate onto the same IP then had two ports carrying
it and the router latched the stale MAC, blackholing the datapath. Publish
the delete synchronously so the port is confirmed gone before reuse, and
make DeletePort idempotent so an already-absent port is a no-op.

Josh Siviour 7bfeaf885c fix: give LB microVM initramfs headroom by bumping sys.micro to 256 MiB (#850)
The ELBv2 LB microVM boots with -m 128 (sys.micro). After kernel
reservations the 37.7 MiB initramfs — 45% of it the Go 1.27 lb-agent —
leaves under 512 KiB of headroom, so the guest panics with 'Initramfs
unpacking failed' before init and lb-agent never heartbeats.

Bump sys.micro to 256 MiB so the initramfs unpacks with margin, and add
an uncompressed-initramfs gate to build-microvm-image.sh (the compressed
gate was blind to the guest-RAM footprint) so a future bump fails the
build loudly instead of panicking in production.

Josh Siviour f9c84919ef feat: co-served GPU model bundles (vLLM + TEI) with family-aware reaper (#845)
* feat: co-served GPU model bundles (catalog, lifecycle, embed/rerank routing)

Serve the generative LLM, embedder and reranker as one co-resident GPU
bundle: EMBEDDING/RERANK catalog modalities + co-serve group, bundle-aware
admission (one GPU claim sized to summed member VRAM), single-flight one-VM
launch with a member->port EndpointRecord, DynamicEndpointResolver member
routing. Ochrevector embed/rerank/token-introspection resolve through the
resolver (static single-endpoint map retired); rerank degrades to plain KNN on
absent/failure. Public InvokeModel-embeddings and top-level Rerank deferred.

* feat: co-serve vLLM+TEI bundle image with per-engine readiness

Replace the single-model vllm-serve unit with a generic bedrock-serve@
systemd template driven by per-member BEDROCK_* env files, dispatching to
vLLM or text-embeddings-router by engine and binding each member to its own
port and weights device. TEI serves directly on its serve port; readiness
probes each member on the route its engine answers (vLLM /v1/models, TEI
/health) with the engine family carried end-to-end from the catalog.

* fix: serve nomic embedder correctly in the co-serve bundle

Bound embeddings requests to the TEI client batch limit so a large
document's chunks are split across requests instead of 422ing. Serve
nomic with explicit mean pooling, since the flat weights layout omits
1_Pooling/config.json and TEI would otherwise default to CLS. Add
bge-base-en-v1.5 as a standalone alternative embedder.

* fix: make the bedrock reaper family-aware and pin-safe

A pinned endpoint is now exempt from terminate-and-relaunch on scrape
failure, mirroring how it is already exempt from idle reclaim, so a
transient unreachability can no longer tear down operator- or
commitment-managed serving.

A bundle with no generative vLLM member exposes no vLLM load metrics, so
it is liveness-probed on /health and kept warm rather than scraped for
idleness on a route it does not serve and reaped in a loop.

* test: lock in co-serve group-member convergence to one VM

* fix: pin self-host HF repo/revision in catalog and stop nested config flattening

Carry HFRepo/HFRevision per self-host catalog entry; weights pull defaults
--hf-repo and --revision from them so a bare pull cannot silently grab a
regressed upstream main (the nomic v5 config.json duplicate-field break).
Restrict fixed config filenames to the repo root so a nested config.json
(sentence-transformers 1_Pooling/) is dropped instead of flattening onto the
model config, and refuse any two source paths that collide at one dest key.

* fix: let endpoint delete clear an account-scoped pinned record and report honestly

A bare 'endpoint delete' resolved the Global key, which never held a pinned,
account-scoped record, then printed 'torn down' over the idempotent no-op while
the record survived. Add --account to the delete command so an operator can
target the account 'endpoint list' shows, and return DeleteEndpointOutput.Removed
so the CLI names a real teardown versus a lookup that found nothing and points
at --account. A gone VM already tolerates NotFound, so a scoped delete clears a
record whose instance was terminated out of band.

Ben Duncan 225bf65a8e feat: EBS export tunables, teardown reapers, fan-out and OVN fixes (#800)
Merges `feat/ebs-export-tunables` (83 commits) into dev. The branch could not be rebase-merged because it carries five merges from dev, so it lands as a squash.

## What is in it

- **EBS export tunables** and the nbdkit/viperblock export path they configure.
- **Teardown reapers and backoff** for S3 buckets, load balancers, gateways, spot requests, certificates, endpoints, elastic IPs and network interfaces, so a dependent that keeps failing is backed off rather than retried hot.
- **Retry and tolerance paths**: ECS IAM service init, ECR signing keys deleted between the list and the read, an unreadable signing key at awsgw startup, and an ECS instance-profile policy attach converging on a stale read.
- **Key pair validation reads the material by name** instead of listing the account, closing the `InvalidKeyPair.NotFound` race that a single-replica LIST could produce.
- **Concurrency and fan-out**: concurrent metadata document fetches, bounded metadata reads for describes, and the node-discovery timeout removed from every fan-out call.
- **OVN correctness against the configured NB cluster**: the flows barrier, nexthop MAC binding, and stopping a compute node from running the package's standalone database.
- **nats-js-watchdog can re-arm itself.** The escalation check ran above the probe loop while the only line that cleared the counter sat below it, so a latched watchdog could never observe a recovery. It now probes first and decides second, and says so once per latch rather than once per tick.
- **CI**: 19 commits of nightly and build-pipeline work.

## Verification

`make preflight` green locally. Build and Test, Integration Tests, Race Detection, and Lint and Security all green on `c2da0385`.

## Known red, not introduced here

Two nightly cells fail on this branch and are pre-existing:

- **cell-10** — a partial OVN IPsec enable leaves `NB_Global ipsec=true` asserted cluster-wide while two of three chassis failed their local reconcile, black-holing cross-chassis guest traffic for roughly 5.5 minutes while every health signal stays green.
- **cell-19** — a total layer-3 egress blackhole below a correctly and promptly programmed NAT/EIP datapath, aggravated by a natuplink probe whose retry budget outlives the test's own wait, so it can never emit its FAIL verdict.

Both are filed separately and should be weighed before a release is cut.

Both numbers that set a volume's export concurrency and memory were
hard-coded: nbdkit ran on its own default of 16 threads per connection
because no -t was ever passed, and the read cache was a 128 MiB literal in
the mount path. Neither could be changed without a recompile, and neither
was visible in the logs or the process argv.

Add default_threads and cache_size_mb to [nodes.<node>.ebs]. Defaults are
unchanged, so a config that does not set them behaves exactly as before.

CacheSizeMB is a pointer so an explicit 0 (cache disabled) stays
distinguishable from an unset key, matching how ViperblockConfig treats its
own toggles. -efi volumes stay uncached regardless.

Validation is a range check only. Both are operator tunables applied per
nbdkit process, and there is one of those per volume, so the host cost is
the value times the volume count -- left for the operator to weigh rather
than second-guessed here.

* feat(security): arm the firewall by install path and sync the clock at firstboot

The host firewall armed itself from a code default, so a curl-to-bash install
onto an existing Debian or Ubuntu machine applied a default-deny INPUT policy
seconds after bootstrap. Anything the operator was already running that is not
on the allow list stopped accepting connections, with nothing logged and no
config key to set beforehand — no template writes firewall_enabled, so every
install fell through to the default.

Arming is now the install path's decision. setup.sh takes --firewall=on|off and
records it in /etc/spinifex/firewall/mode, defaulting on under ISO_BUILD and off
everywhere else: the ISO is an appliance on hardware we define, a package install
is a guest on a machine that was already doing something.

firewall_enabled becomes a three-state *bool so "unset" and "explicitly false"
stay distinguishable. Flipping the default to false instead would have torn down
a working policy on every existing node, because false is an instruction to
disable rather than an absence. Resolution is config, then mode file, then on, so
a node installed before any of this keeps what it has.

The ISO had the opposite problem. setup.sh is the only place that enables
spinifex-firewall.service and it returns before that line under ISO_BUILD, with
no systemd in the chroot to talk to. Nothing else enabled it, so after a reboot
the ruleset — runtime state — was gone, and ReconcileFirewall short-circuited on
an unchanged peer file and never put it back. An ISO node was firewalled until
its first reboot and open permanently after. firstboot now enables the unit, and
the reconcile checks the table is loaded rather than treating an unchanged peer
set as proof the policy is applied.

Two policy changes: 443 is held for the nginx TLS edge so that rollout needs no
per-node firewall change, and the SSH port is read from sshd_config and its
Include drop-ins instead of being hardcoded to 22 — a host on Port 2222 was
allowed exactly one port that was not the one it uses, and ct state established
kept the operator's session alive until they disconnected. 53 stays open on every
node, now with a comment saying so: northstar serves public authoritative DNS.

Clock: firstboot steps and waits for sync before spx admin init mints
credentials, since a certificate issued against a wrong RTC carries a NotBefore
that outlives the correction. Bounded to 60s and non-fatal so an air-gapped
install still completes, and once is enough because rtcsync writes the corrected
time back. A chrony drop-in replaces Debian's makestep 1 3, which stops stepping
after three updates and then slews at roughly 7 seconds a day — a node that
burned those before the network came up never visibly converged.

* fix(security): let a node join a cluster whose firewall is already armed

Expanding a single-node ISO install into a cluster could not succeed. Two
independent blockers, both from the same root: the peer set is derived from
converged cluster state, but the ports needed to reach convergence are gated
on that same set.

The formation port is peer-scoped, and a node dialling in to join is not a
peer yet, so the handshake was dropped rather than refused and the joiner
retried in silence until it timed out. It cannot simply move to the public
rule: outside formation the same port carries the daemon cluster manager,
whose /health and /local/* routes report node topology, service inventory and
running instances unauthenticated. So it is opened for the formation window
only, by spx admin init, and closed again on every exit path.

The reconcile then deadlocked. Holding out for the full chassis list is right
on a node with no policy loaded, but on one armed for a smaller cluster the
ports a joining node needs in order to register its chassis are exactly the
ones the stale set blocks, so the list can never complete. Widen the peer set
on the tunnel set already loaded, and report the partial state so the caller
retries sooner than the steady-state interval. A converged cluster whose
Southbound DB is briefly unreadable is still left untouched.

* docs(install): explain the firewall around cluster formation

An ISO-installed server is a cluster of one, and its firewall admits internal
cluster traffic only from members it recognises. Forming a cluster out of such
servers therefore needs the firewall off first: step 3 of the multi-node guide
has each server dial node 1's OVN database on the raft ports, and those are
peer-scoped like everything else on the cluster plane. Neither guide said so,
and the failure is a silent drop that looks like a network fault.

Both guides now walk the off / form / on sequence, and the multi-node guide
gains a reference section covering which ports are public, how arming differs
between the ISO and the binary installer, and how to verify membership landed.

Re-enable the boot-time unit whenever the daemon arms the policy. Disabling
the firewall to form a cluster also disables that unit, so re-arming used to
look complete while leaving the node bare after its next reboot.

* fix: make the ISO-to-cluster conversion path work end to end

Forming a cluster from four ISO-imaged servers surfaced a run of bugs that
share a starting state CI never exercises: the ISO delivers an initialized,
armed, running node, while the conversion path was written against the binary
installer's unconfigured one.

- install-node.sh never disarmed the host firewall, so nodes 2 and 3 could not
  dial the first node on the OVN raft ports and formation could not proceed. It
  now owns the whole lifecycle: disarm, form, re-arm, then verify the loaded
  policy against the expected peer set.
- spx admin init left the admin access key and secret empty on the preserve
  path. The pair cannot be read back, and the IAM store is rebuilt by formation,
  so the empty strings reached every joiner's bootstrap.json and crash-looped
  awsgw. It is reissued instead, and IAM seeding now skips an empty admin block
  rather than taking the gateway down on every restart.
- node-reset.sh left /etc/default/ovn-central behind. Raft membership lives in
  that file, not in the databases the reset deletes, so ovn-central recreated
  the database as a cluster member dialling a peer that had itself been wiped.
- node-reset.sh also destroyed the installed firewall policy, which nothing
  regenerates. set-peers then failed on every attempt and the node stayed open
  permanently and silently. The arming mode is read before the wipe and the
  stage regenerated after it.
- spinifex-firewall-apply rejected every verb when the policy file was missing,
  including disable. Turning the firewall off is the recovery path, so that left
  a node that could be neither armed nor disarmed.
- viperblock exited 0 on a fatal startup error, so Restart=on-failure never
  fired. During formation its JetStream bucket has no leader yet, so the EBS
  provider died for good and every volume request failed with no responders.
  predastore and qemunbd had the same bug.
- spx admin images import created image directories at 0700, so the first sudo
  import locked group members out of a tree deliberately made group-writable.

Three of these hid behind checks that cannot succeed: ovn-sbctl show against a
clustered database, and the OVN northbound and southbound waits in setup-ovn.sh.
All three failed to stderr and let the run continue, so a check that could never
pass was indistinguishable from one that was merely slow.

The USB install guide claimed the ISO leaves Spinifex unconfigured and told the
operator to run spx admin init. firstboot has always done that itself, so the
guide now describes what the ISO actually produces and how to start using it.

* fix: let spread placement launch across every node

A spread placement group reserved four distinct nodes correctly and then failed
the launch with ServerInternal, having started only two or three of them. The
scheduler was never at fault; two faults downstream stopped the instances
following the reservation.

vpcd subscribes to vpc.add-nat with QueueSubscribe, which delivers one message
at a time, and the handler holds its reply across the OVN flows barrier. The
45s caller deadline was sized against a single 30s barrier, which is right for
one instance and wrong for the N a spread launch issues at once — the third
request waits behind two full barriers and times out. That one subscription now
overlaps its handlers under a bounded semaphore. Each barrier still syncs after
its own write, so the guarantee is unchanged while N barriers collapse into
roughly one.

With the requests overlapping, every barrier still ran to its alarm.
install-node.sh computed OVN_REMOTE after building the database nodes and gave
it only to compute nodes, so the database nodes were configured without
--ovn-remote. setup-ovn.sh writes ovn-northd's NB/SB connections from that list
and skips it on the localhost default, and it already documents what follows: a
northd dialling only its local member stops advancing nb_cfg once raft
leadership moves, wedging ovn-nbctl --wait=hv. The list is knowable before any
node is touched, so it is computed first and passed to the database nodes too.

Nothing reported an OVN fault while this was happening. Every chassis was
registered, ovn-controller and IPsec were up, and the raft cluster was healthy.
The only signal was the barrier logging that it had overrun and was continuing
without confirmation — which reads like slowness and was a permanent wedge.

* feat: sweep block sizes in the disk benchmark and add an iperf3 network benchmark

* fix: use iperf 2 with CSV output and report why a remote start failed

* fix: stop pkill matching its own shell and verify the iperf server is listening

* ci: run the predastore throughput benchmark at the end of the nightly

* ci: boot the ISO in the nightly, single-node and three-node

* ci: use the existing CI node password secret in the ISO cells

* ci: report free space before the benchmark instead of failing inside warp

* ci: export the work directories from RUNNER_TEMP rather than job env

* ci: run the ISO and benchmark workloads from the nvme scratch area

* perf: run guest NICs on vhost-net with multiqueue

Guest-to-guest VPC throughput measured 1.68 Gbit/s single-stream against
21.8 Gbit/s host-to-host on the same underlay, and did not improve with
more streams. QEMU's -netdev tap defaults vhost to off, so the whole
datapath ran in the main loop thread in userspace: that thread sat at
59-65% CPU while all four vCPU threads idled at ~4%.

Every tap netdev now carries vhost=on, and VPC ENIs additionally run
multiqueue at min(vCPUs, 8) queue pairs. Multiqueue needs all three of
the tap, the netdev and the device to agree, so TapNetDev and NetDevice
derive the netdev options and the 2N+2 MSI-X vector count from one queue
figure rather than leaving callers to keep them in step.

The QMP hot-plug path takes the same options as cold boot, with a test
comparing it against the rendered cold-boot strings so the two cannot
drift. MMIO machines stay single-queue: they have no MSI-X.

* ci: check out the sibling repos the go workspace needs in the ISO cells

* ci: skip cell-21 workload cleanup when the workload never ran

* ci: size the cell-21 node at 8 GiB and keep its serial log

* ci: keep the cell-21 node diagnostics alongside the serial log

* fix: let the daemon open /dev/vhost-net and delete multi_queue taps

Enabling vhost=on broke instance launch two ways. DevicePolicy=closed gates
the cgroup device list before capabilities are consulted, so QEMU's open of
/dev/vhost-net returned EPERM despite CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE; add the device to the
allow list and bump the unit version. Separately, `ip tuntap del` re-opens the
device with TUNSETIFF and fails with EINVAL on a multi_queue tap, leaking it on
every teardown; route deletion through `ip link del`, which is flag-agnostic.

* perf: default guest NICs to a single queue

Multiqueue measured a net loss. Spreading one flow across queue pairs reorders
packets and TCP reads that as loss: a 4-vCPU guest fell from 1.76 to 1.50
Gbit/s, with cwnd collapsing on spurious retransmits. The host overlay funnels
a node pair onto one softirq core, so the extra queues have no headroom to win
back what the reordering costs. Keep the plumbing and its tests behind
MultiqueueNICs so re-enabling is one line once that funnel is fixed.

vhost-net stays on unconditionally; it moves the datapath off the QEMU main
loop, measured at 60% of a core under load against 3% with it.

* fix: raise the UDP receive buffer for predastore's QUIC transport

Predastore carries blob, meta and raft over QUIC and quic-go asks for a 7MiB
receive buffer. Left at the kernel default of 208KiB it silently dropped
datagrams under load: the four-node cluster had shed 80k-125k each, which
failed shard writes, put raft into repeated elections, and ultimately handed
guests an I/O error that cost two of them their root filesystems.

Adds a sysctl stage writing /etc/sysctl.d/99-spinifex-net.conf, so the setting
lands in the ISO image and on every node push rather than living in a runbook.

* ci: give the cell-21 workload an identity the node accepts

* feat: tie the guest MTU and NIC multiqueue to ipsec_enabled

ESP costs 34 bytes on top of geneve's 58, so a cluster running the overlay in
plaintext can advertise 1442 instead of 1408 — worth roughly 10% of guest
throughput. Derive it from network.ipsec_enabled rather than hardcoding the
conservative figure.

Multiqueue moves with the same flag, because its sign depends on it. Behind
IPsec it costs ~12%: ESP has no L4 ports, so RSS funnels a node pair onto one
core and extra queues only reorder packets, which TCP reads as loss. Without
IPsec the sending host's single vhost thread saturates first and queues are
worth +54%. IPsec on with multiqueue on is the worst of the four combinations,
so it stops being a standalone knob and becomes vm.Deps.MultiqueueNICs.

The reconciler only ever created a subnet's DHCPOptions row and never revisited
it, so the create-time MTU stuck for the life of the subnet and this change
would have applied to new subnets only. Worse in the other direction: turning
IPsec back on would have left subnets advertising 1442 over ESP, which drops
large segments with no ICMP to recover from. applySubnets now diffs and updates
in place.

reconcile.Config takes IPSecDisabled rather than IPSecEnabled so the zero value
is the conservative MTU — a caller that forgets it is merely slower.

* docs: add an install-time performance tuning guide

Measured on the four-node cluster rather than inferred: the UDP receive buffer
sysctl, what IPsec actually costs and why, the multiqueue sign flip, the overlay
MTU budget, and the jumbo-frame check that must precede enabling it.

A starter doc — several sections end in an open question rather than a
recommendation.

* ci: keep the cell-21 node alive for the workload step

* ci: collect the cell-21 qemu log and widen its timeout

* feat: derive the guest MTU from the fabric, and deepen the virtio NIC config

The overlay overhead is passed on to the guest rather than hidden from it.
Hiding it means running the fabric far enough above 1500 that a standard guest
MTU fits in the headroom, which is what the large public clouds do — but they
own the switches. On a fabric we do not control, the honest figure is the one
the path can carry, and a jumbo underlay should reach the guest: 9000 gives
8942, or 8908 with IPsec. network.underlay_mtu is the lever; SubnetMTU spends
it. Configured rather than probed, because a node's own NIC MTU says nothing
about the switch between it and its peers.

host_mtu sets VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU so a guest that never takes a DHCP lease —
statically addressed, or IPv6-only — still learns the ceiling.

rx/tx_queue_size raise the virtio ring from QEMU's default 256. That default is
a packet-rate ceiling rather than a memory saving: a vCPU preempted for a
fraction of a millisecond fills all 256 slots and the overflow is dropped.

ethtool is the only way to read NIC offload, ring and channel state, so a node
without it cannot be diagnosed for throughput at all.

* ci: give the cell-21 workload its own guest key

* fix: set the guest MTU on the tap, not just in the guest

The tap was created and brought up without an MTU, so it stayed at the
kernel default of 1500 while DHCP and host_mtu told the guest something
else. Harmless at 1442; it silently blackholed every large frame on a
jumbo underlay, with no ICMP back because the drop is at the first hop.

TapSpec.MTU comes from the same guest overlay MTU the DHCP option and
host_mtu already use, and is applied in the bring-up call so a size the
fabric cannot carry fails the launch instead of degrading quietly.

* fix: stop setting tx_queue_size, which QEMU caps at 256 for tap

QEMU only honours a tx_queue_size above 256 for vhost-user and
vhost-vdpa backends. On a tap it rejects the value outright rather than
clamping it, so every launch died with "must be a power of 2 between
256 and 256" and the instance went straight to terminated.

rx_queue_size is unaffected and stays at 1024. A test pins the absence
of tx_queue_size across machine types and queue counts.

* docs: lead the tuning guide with the overlay segmentation finding

The guide's headline was a 5.4x that came almost entirely from turning
IPsec off, and it treated MTU and the fabric as the main levers. The
host reaches 92.6 Gbit/s at MTU 1500 on the same NIC, so the fabric is
not the constraint and the encrypted default is not the thing to tune
away from.

Adds the host-versus-guest comparison up front, documents
network.underlay_mtu, and makes the missing segmentation offload the
first open question.

* ci: stop deselected matrix cells failing in teardown

* docs: quantify what disabling overlay IPsec is worth

The guide described the trade without the numbers an operator needs to
make it. Adds the measured 4.9x, notes that the MTU and multiqueue
changes follow ipsec_enabled rather than being separate knobs, and
records two transition hazards: a stale wide MTU on running guests, and
RunInstances failing while the OVN flows barrier catches up with the new
SAs.

* ci: collect and retain the e2e benchmark and cluster logs

Cells 21 and 22 both copied two paths that only ever exist on the nodes, so
the benchmark JSON was never uploaded and cell-22 collected nothing at all.
Both now gather what they actually produce, and keep it for 90 days.

* fix: quieten spx by installing an explicit CLI logger default

spx never set a process logger, so it inherited whatever a linked package
left behind — until now a JSON handler at Info on stdout, interleaving
library log records with command output and breaking piped use.

Execute() claims the default before any command runs: text on stderr,
LevelError, so commands report failures through their own stderr writes and
libraries stay quiet. --verbose/-v raises to info and SPX_LOG_LEVEL sets an
arbitrary level, the flag winning over the environment. Service subcommands
still call initTelemetry, which replaces the handler outright.

No root --debug flag: viperblock, qemunbd, nats and awsgw each define their
own --debug with a service-specific meaning, and a root persistent flag would
shadow inconsistently depending on the command.

The guard test samples the handler at package-init time rather than inside
the test, because tests in this package start services that install their own
logger legitimately.

* feat: private /admin/CreateAccount for self-service tenant signup

Add POST /admin/<Method> to the AWS gateway: SigV4-signed, JSON in and
JSON out, callable only by an IAM user in the super-admin account holding
spinifex:<Method>. CreateAccount is the one method, so a signup form can
provision a tenant without an operator shell. No new service, port, unit
or certificate — it mounts inside the gateway's existing authenticated
group and inherits its auth, throttling and tracing.

Provisioning is resumable rather than transactional, which fits stores
that have no transaction. Two CAS creates carry the correctness: the
client token admits one in-flight attempt and makes a lost response
replayable for 24 hours, and the name reservation makes duplicate account
names impossible. Every step after the account exists is create-if-absent,
so a retry with the same token finishes the job instead of failing.

The CLI and the endpoint share one provisioning helper, which closes a
gap on both at once: CreateAccount never checked names, so running
`spx admin account create` twice produced two accounts that differed only
by ID.

The response waits for the account's default VPC over a new
ec2.EnsureDefaultVpc request/reply, rather than trusting the existing
fire-and-forget iam.account.created publish — credentials for an account
that cannot launch anything are worse than a slower call.

[signup] max_accounts bounds how many accounts may exist; absent means
uncapped, which is what every cluster does today.

* fix: stop the awsgw template hardcoding one deployment's console URL

console_url shipped as https://console.spx3.com, so every fresh install —
including an on-premise cluster that will never run signup — was
configured to point new accounts at our console. It is the only
deployment-specific domain in any template. It now ships empty, and the
gateway warns when it provisions an account without one, since a blank
sign-in link is otherwise visible only to the customer who receives it.

Extract the remote client from the command body while here. The signing,
request shape and error decoding are the part a Cloudflare Worker
mirrors, and as a function they are testable against a TLS test server
rather than only by hand against a live cluster.

* refactor: drop console_url from signup and default max_accounts to 128

The gateway never read console_url — it passed the value straight through to
the response, and the idempotency record froze it for 24 hours so a corrected
typo still replayed stale. The client that made the request already knows
where it wants to send the new tenant.

max_accounts is now a pointer in the parsed config so an absent [signup]
section takes the 128 default while an explicit 0 still means uncapped.

* feat: run the predastore fault-injection harness as cell-24

Cell-23 asks how fast predastore is when every node is healthy; cell-24 asks
whether it survives one that is not. It runs after cell-23 rather than beside
it: both want a quiet single runner, and a benchmark sharing a machine with a
fault injection run measures the wrong thing.

The port offset keeps the two clear of each other even so, and the job clears
stale nodes on entry and exit, since a run killed before its cleanup trap
leaves one holding ports that fail the next run somewhere unrelated.

* ci: keep the throughput benchmark's output with its results

The run log only existed in the job log, so the artifact it uploaded could not
be read without going back to the run that produced it.

* ci: keep the fault-injection run log with its results

events.txt carries the timeline and the FAIL line, but not the build output or
anything Warp wrote before the harness took over, so a failed cell could only
be read from the job log it was printed into.

* fix: serve the cluster region to the console instead of hardcoding it

The console hardcoded ap-southeast-2 as its SigV4 region in seven files, so on
any other cluster the credential scope was wrong and the gateway rejected every
signed request.

The SPA is embedded in the binary, so a build-time value would pin one binary to
one region. The UI server now serves GET /api/config with the region, no-store
so a proxy fronting several clusters cannot serve one the other's region, and
the SPA loads it once before render.

The region comes from the serving node's config because awsgw pins signature
verification to that same field. Reading the cluster-wide [aws] region instead
would let a cluster whose two keys disagree pass review and still fail to
authenticate.

Also relabels the login card as Spinifex credentials, since the fields are not
AWS ones, and hides the CA install banner unless the console is reached
directly: behind a proxy with a publicly trusted certificate there is nothing
for the cluster CA to fix.

* fix: say once when the host firewall will not be maintained

Both quiet outcomes of the reconcile — no cluster config, and the policy
switched off — return nil without logging, so a node that never arms is
indistinguishable in the journal from one that armed on its first pass.

* test: arm the host firewall before asserting on its peer set

Only the ISO install arms the policy; every other path writes off to the
mode file, so the daemon disables the firewall and never writes a peer
set. The test read that file as its baseline, which it could never have.

It now switches the mode on for its own duration and puts it back, waits
for the peer set the way install-node.sh does, and on failure reports the
mode, the node count and what the daemon said rather than just the
missing file.

* test: move the console region test to the external cmd package

It was in package cmd, which test-package-check rejects, so preflight
failed on the branch. The hook follows the pattern already in
export_test.go.

* test: make the reboot EIP diagnostic capable of naming the drop

The two ofproto/trace probes injected packets with no TTL, so OVN's router
killed them at lr_in_ip_input and both traces ended early for a reason that
had nothing to do with the failure under investigation. A keyword filter then
stripped the table-match lines, hiding where each trace stopped.

Traces now carry a TTL and are kept whole, the real datapath megaflows for the
guest reply are dumped alongside them, and any drop matching the guest source
is resolved from its OpenFlow cookie back to the Southbound logical flow that
installed it.

* fix: exempt an EIP instance from the subnet drop gate with allow, not reroute

A subnet with no route of its own carries a priority-1100 drop policy, and an
instance with an external IP is lifted above it by a priority-1200 policy. That
policy rerouted to the pool gateway, which in distributed NAT is outside every
logical router port subnet, because the gateway LRP is the link-local /30. The
static default route survives that by naming an output port; a routing policy
has no such field, so ovn-northd discarded all three of them and the drop gate
below swallowed everything the instances sent.

The effect was that every external IP answered inbound traffic and none of it
came back: the SYN reached the guest, the guest replied, and the reply died in
the router's policy stage. Guest-initiated egress was lost the same way.

The policy only ever needed to lift the gate. The router's default route already
points at the gateway, so allow leaves the routing decision intact and gives
northd nothing to reject.

* test: match the log the firewall quorum gate actually emits

The assertion waited for "chassis encap addresses; not writing a partial peer
set", which no code has ever logged. The reconcile reports a short chassis list
as "OVN reports N of M chassis encap addresses" and the maintain loop carries
that into its retry warning, so the wait could only ever time out.

Arming the node in the previous commit got the test as far as this assertion for
the first time, which is why it surfaced now. The failure also prints the
journal tail and the same inputs the earlier wait reports.

* fix: stop one unreadable volume document failing every volume listing

A single volume document whose shards no longer reconstruct made
DescribeVolumes, DescribeVolumeStatus and DescribeVolumesModifications
fail for every account, because the listing returned the first fetch
error rather than skipping the document.

ListVolumes now skips a document it cannot read or decode and logs the
skip, mirroring ListAMIs. Callers whose answer would be wrong rather
than merely partial take ListVolumesStrict: the orphan scan and the
snapshot in-use check both gate destructive work on a complete list.

The tolerance covers fetch failures as well as decode failures. An
object whose shards no longer join is as unusable as one whose bytes
will not parse, and it was the fetch path that took the cluster down.

Josh Siviour 9102588e5a chore: bump Go toolchain to 1.26.6 (#793) 2026-08-14 09:29:03 +10:00
Josh Siviour d52245001e feat: Ochre vector store (tenant pgvector, embeddings, ingestion, operator teardown) (#788)
* feat: add /v1/embeddings gateway adapter

* feat: Ochre vector store pgvector backend, KV index registry, orchestration

Adds handlers_ochrevector: the VectorBackend interface + pgx/v5 impl
with per-account schema/role isolation enforced via SET LOCAL ROLE +
search_path inside every transaction, the KV index registry
(CREATING/READY/DELETING/STALE), and the create/delete/list/reconcile
orchestration tying them together with crash-safe rollback and
re-entrant recovery of stuck records.

* feat: singleton appliance-ensure state machine for ochre vector store

Adds the encrypted control-plane credential store and re-entrant
Ensure state machine for the platform pgvector appliance (D2): a
fixed-key KV claim mirroring Registry.Reserve elects exactly one
winner to launch the appliance via an injected ApplianceLauncher,
losers wait or resume a stale crashed provision, and the master
password is generated once, stored only AES-256-GCM encrypted, and
decrypted solely inside Connect to build a pgxBackend.

* feat: Ochre vector store async ingestion (chunker, job store, worker)

Adds Stage 3: a deterministic recursive chunk splitter, a per-account
ingestion job-record store mirroring the index registry, the
transactional per-document replace on the backend, and the
IngestService worker that lists a predastore source, chunks and
embeds each object, and replaces its rows idempotently.

* feat: Ochre vector store similarity query and metadata filter grammar

Adds VectorBackend.Query (cosine kNN, k default/cap, iterative HNSW
scan under a filter) and a Bedrock-KB-shaped metadata Filter AST that
compiles to parameterized SQL over jsonb, closing off arbitrary SQL by
allowlisting jsonb keys and always binding values as params. Also
fixes RunJob reporting READY on a job that ingested nothing regardless
of failure cause, and stamps SourceSpec.Metadata onto ingested rows so
the new filters have data to match against.

* feat: Ochre vector store request/response API, VectorService, and CLI

Adds the daemon-facing VectorService interface (index CRUD, ingest,
describe job, query), its server implementation over the existing
registry/backend/embedder, a NATS-forwarding client, and the
`spx admin ochre vector` operator CLI. Query resolves and embeds
against each index's own pinned model; ingest stamps the same
model/dimension onto every source spec server-side. accountID is
always taken from the caller context, never the request payload.

Daemon subscription wiring and manifest registration are a later
change; this is pure request/response plumbing with no construction
into daemon.go or awsgw.go.

* feat: wire Ochre vector store VectorService into the daemon

Constructs the platform Postgres appliance and VectorService behind a new
OchreVector config section that defaults off, so existing daemons are
unaffected. Adds a real RDS-backed ApplianceLauncher that provisions the
appliance over rds.CreateDBInstance/DescribeDBInstances, registers the six
ochre.vector.* NATS subjects mirroring the bedrock endpoint service pattern,
and degrades to a disabled (nil) service on any boot-time appliance failure
rather than blocking daemon startup.

* fix: fix Ochre vector store boot ordering and self-register subjects

startOchreVector ran before subscribeAll, so its appliance launch fired
rds.CreateDBInstance/DescribeDBInstances requests with no responder yet
registered, timing out the launch on a first-enable boot. It also ran
synchronously, blocking daemon startup up to the appliance launch timeout.

Move it to a background goroutine started after subscribeAll returns, and
have it register its own ochre.vector.* subjects once the VectorService is
actually constructed, via a new registerNatsSubs helper shared with
subscribeAll's boot-time table. Guard d.natsSubscriptions with d.mu, since
this background registration can now race the shutdown path's
unsubscribe-all sweep.

* feat: bake pgvector into the shared rds-postgres image

* fix: reach the ochre appliance over a routed daemon port on its ENI IP

The daemon dialled the RDS appliance over rec.Endpoint, a vanity spx3.net
hostname the control-plane host can neither resolve nor route to, so a healthy
appliance was never reachable and the vector store disabled itself.

Resolve the appliance's customer-ENI private IP read-only via
ec2.DescribeNetworkInterfaces filtered on the spinifex:rds-db-instance tag, dial
that IP for the DSN instead of the hostname, and give the daemon its own routed
ENI in the appliance's subnet bound to an OVS host port so the IP is reachable.
Retry appliance startup with bounded backoff instead of hard-disabling on the
first transient.

* fix: install pgvector at bootstrap for the Ochre vector appliance

The daemon connects to the appliance as its NOSUPERUSER master, and the
image's pgvector is not a trusted extension, so CREATE EXTENSION vector
failed with permission denied. rds-init now installs it via the bootstrap
superuser, gated on the appliance's fixed master name so tenant instances
are unaffected.

* fix: grant the Ochre appliance master CREATE on its database

The daemon's EnsureAccount runs CREATE SCHEMA per account as the NOSUPERUSER
master, which does not own the postgres database, so bootstrap now grants it
CREATE on the database alongside the pgvector install. Both are gated to the
appliance master, so tenant instances are unaffected.

* fix: make the Ochre appliance's pgvector reachable under per-account isolation

The daemon connects as a NOSUPERUSER master and runs every account operation
under SET ROLE with a search_path pinned to the account schema. Two gaps blocked
that against a real non-superuser Postgres: the master could not SET ROLE into
the roles it creates, and the account role could not see the vector type.

Bootstrap now grants the appliance master createrole_self_grant and installs
pgvector into a read-only extensions schema granted to PUBLIC; the backend
carries that schema on each account search_path so the vector type resolves
without weakening per-account write isolation. All appliance-scoped.

* fix: prune stale VPC host port before installing the daemon appliance port

A replaced Ochre appliance is handed the same subnet IP, so a new daemon ENI
mints a fresh vhp- port at an address a superseded port still holds. The old
port survives at the OS/OVS layer even after its ENI record is wiped, so two
interfaces claim one address and the kernel can route to the dead one
(EHOSTUNREACH). installVPCHostPort now prunes any other vhp- port holding the
target address before installing.

* fix: gate VM restore's stale-socket kill on backing-store readiness

On daemon start, a live VM whose NBD sockets fail to dial was force-killed as an
orphan. While predastore/viperblock is still coming up after a restart those
sockets are transiently unreachable, so a healthy VM (the Ochre appliance was
the observed victim) was destroyed and its RDS record flipped to failed. The
kill now only fires when the backing store is confirmed up; otherwise the live
QEMU is kept and QMP reconnected. Genuine orphan reaping under a healthy store
is unchanged.

* fix: drive ochre ingest jobs from a daemon-side sweep scheduler

* feat: add operator teardown verb for the ochre platform appliance

Adds Appliance.Teardown to remove the singleton platform Postgres
appliance (RDS instance, host port, KV record), an admin-only NATS
subject and daemon handler to drive it, and `spx admin ochre appliance
teardown --confirm` to invoke it without exposing the action through
the tenant awsgw surface.

* fix: register ochre appliance teardown before Connect so it survives a broken appliance

* fix: purge ochre index and job metadata on appliance teardown

Josh Siviour fd8be8a814 refactor(test): route duplicated NATS bootstraps through testutil (#776)
* refactor(test): route duplicated NATS bootstraps through testutil

Thirteen test sites hand-rolled a NATS or JetStream server bootstrap that
spinifex/testutil already provides, and one seedKV clone duplicated
testutil.SeedKV. Route them through the shared helpers.

Sites whose options genuinely diverge are left alone: fixed ports needed for
reconnect and restart scenarios, custom TLS and token auth, a custom
MaxPayload, and TestMain entry points that have no testing.TB for t.Cleanup.
The natgw and routetable seedKV clones use CreateOrUpdateKeyValue rather than
CreateKeyValue, so their failure behaviour differs and they stay as they are.

Also moves eight test files to external test packages where they declare no
helper used by a sibling in the same package. Coverage is unaffected: Go
compiles internal and external test packages into one binary per package, so
attribution is identical either way.

* chore(test): require new test files to use an external test package

Adds a preflight check that fails when a newly added test file declares an
in-package test. External test packages bind tests to the exported API and
let packages share test doubles, which an in-package double cannot be. Only
added files are checked, so the existing in-package tests are untouched.

e2e and integration suites are exempt: both share a package-level fixture
built in main_test.go, so their files cannot move individually. A file that
needs unexported access can opt out with a //test:in-package comment.

Josh Siviour 91d22d9f12 feat(security): add an nftables host firewall scoping cluster ports to peers (#769)
* feat(security): add an nftables host firewall scoping cluster ports to peers

Nodes shipped no host firewall, so every cluster listener — OVN NB/SB, the
formation port, NATS, predastore — was reachable from anything that could route
to the node. On a single-NIC node the planes collapse onto the public address,
which made that the default rather than the exception.

setup.sh installs a policy and an apply helper but does not enable them: the
peer set is unknown until the cluster's planes resolve, and a drop policy with
an empty set would cut the first node that applied it out of its own formation.
install-node.sh writes the peers and enables the unit after formation.

The policy owns only table inet spinifex_filter and replaces it in one
transaction. vpcd writes MASQUERADE and per-EIP FORWARD rules into the ip
nat/filter tables and reinstalls them only on start, so a whole-ruleset flush —
what Debian's nftables.service does on both start and stop — would break
elastic IPs silently. INPUT only, for the same reason: a forward-hook drop here
could not be rescued by an accept in the other table.

Guest traffic keeps working: IMDS and VPC DNS terminate on ime-* ports in the
host netns, and every guest agent reaches its control plane over the AWS
gateway rather than NATS, so no cluster port needs to face the guests.

* feat: reconcile the host firewall peer set from the daemon

The peer set was written by install-node.sh and by cluster-bootstrap.yml. That
missed two of the four formation paths (bm-bootstrap.sh and the ISO firstboot),
duplicated the same logic in each, and went stale as soon as a node was added or
replaced. host.ReconcileFirewall now owns it: every formation path starts the
daemon, and it re-runs on each startup.

A node's own config names its peers by their wan address only, so a set built
from config alone drops every peer's NATS, OVSDB and formation traffic. The
lan plane comes from the generated NATS cluster routes and the OVN remote lists,
and the vpc plane from the Southbound Encap table; an empty encap answer is an
error rather than a narrower set.

ProtectSystem=full applies to the sudo child too, so the root helper could not
write /etc/spinifex/firewall either — it is now in the daemon's ReadWritePaths,
optional so a node installed before the firewall stage still starts.

The apply helper gains set-peers and disable verbs, re-validates every address
as a dotted quad with in-range octets, and rolls the peer file back if the
ruleset will not load.

* fix: retry the host firewall reconcile until every chassis registers

The peer set is only safe to write once OVN reports an encap address for
every node. On a fresh bootstrap the daemon routinely wins the race against
ovn-controller, so a single startup attempt saw a partial chassis list and
either wrote a set that dropped Geneve from the nodes missing from it, or
failed outright and left the node with no policy until a restart.

Gate on the full chassis count and schedule the reconcile instead of running
it once: back off from 15s to 5m while it fails, then re-run every 5m so a
node added or replaced after formation is picked up without a daemon restart.
An unchanged peer set short-circuits before the helper runs.

* test: cover the firewall chassis quorum gate in the multinode e2e suite

A partial chassis list is the normal state early in a bootstrap, and writing a
peer set from one produces a firewall that drops Geneve from every node missing
from it. The gate that refuses that write had no live coverage: a 5-node
bootstrap converges too fast for any daemon to observe a partial list, so the
verification run only ever exercised the OVN-unreachable path.

Reach the branch by inflating the expected count instead of breaking OVN: a
phantom node in one node's config makes the cluster one chassis short, with
nothing in the Southbound DB disturbed. Asserts the gate logs, that no peer
file is written while it holds, that the loaded ruleset survives, and that the
node recovers to a byte-identical peer set once the phantom is removed.

Josh Siviour 5c6429bde1 fix(ipsec): stop charon on nodes that do not use OVN IPsec (#768)
The daemon only called EnableOVNIPSec when network.ipsec_enabled was true, so
the disabled case was never reached and nothing ever turned the host's IPsec
services off. Since setup.sh installs openvswitch-ipsec and strongswan-charon
unconditionally and the packages enable their units, charon listened on
0.0.0.0:500 and 0.0.0.0:4500 on every node -- including single-node clusters,
where EnableOVNIPSec short-circuits and IPsec is never switched on at all.

ReconcileOVNIPSec runs on every startup and resolves the state both ways. It
self-heals: a single-node box that later joins an IPsec-on cluster gets the
services back through the same call, which a static install-time mask could not
do because setup.sh runs before the topology is known.

The unit changes go through a new fixed-verb root helper rather than systemctl.
spinifex-daemon holds three narrow sudo grants and none of them is systemctl,
which is deliberate: a NOPASSWD systemctl rule takes an arbitrary unit name and
is root-equivalent. The helper takes only on|off and names the units itself,
matching the existing spinifex-set-endpoint-sysctl pattern. Only the read-only
is-enabled and is-active probes are run directly, and a test pins that.

strongswan-starter.service is disabled in both states. ovs-monitor-ipsec execs
the strongSwan starter itself rather than going through that unit, so it only
ever competes for UDP 500/4500 -- confirmed on a live IPsec-enabled cluster,
where charon's parent is /usr/lib/ipsec/starter and the unit is inactive.

A nil cluster config leaves the services alone rather than guessing.

This is the bind-address half only. On a multi-node cluster charon must run,
and it still binds the wildcard; restricting that reach to the encap plane is
the host firewall's job.

Josh Siviour 80faf59a43 fix(ovn): bind the NB/SB client listeners to loopback and the lan plane (#765)
setup-ovn.sh set the OVN Northbound and Southbound client remotes with a bare
set-connection ptcp:6641 / ptcp:6642. The address-free ptcp: form binds every
interface, so on a multi-plane node the unauthenticated, unencrypted OVSDB
control plane was reachable from the public interface. Write access to the
Southbound database is control of the whole tenant network fabric.

ovsdb-server takes remotes from two additive sources: the Connection table,
which RAFT replicates cluster-wide, and local ovn-ctl command-line flags. That
split is what the fix uses. Loopback goes in the replicated row, because
127.0.0.1 is correct on every node, so replication is harmless and local
clients keep working. The lan address goes on the per-node command line via
--db-nb-addr and --db-nb-create-insecure-remote, which never replicates, so
each node binds its own address without pushing it to its peers.

A new --lan-addr flag carries that address, falling back to
--db-cluster-local-addr so clustered nodes stay correct without caller changes.
The standalone branch now writes /etc/default/ovn-central too, since a two-node
install still has a remote ovn-controller that needs the lan listener. The
guard on --db-nb-addr is load-bearing: it defaults to 0.0.0.0, so emitting
create-insecure-remote without a resolved address would recreate the bug.

install-node.sh passes the lan address on both branches and warns when the lan
plane has collapsed onto the public address, since the listener then lands on
the public interface and a firewall is the only remaining control.

brynmailer-mdc 96dc1af568 refactor: delete the predastore cluster topology migration
The migration rewrote a v4 topology into v5 and recovered raft state through
predastore's clusterrun package, which no longer exists. The on-disk layout it
relocated data into has moved too: node directories are now node-<id> under the
host root, with no host-N level. Nothing migrates a pre-cutover install; it is
re-initialised from scratch.

node-reset.sh keeps directories by design, so it now removes the predastore
cluster tree outright rather than leaving the old skeleton standing.

Josh Siviour d178ef5992 feat: version-aware host-asset preflight for binary-swap deploys (#750)
A binary-swap deploy (make deploy or a manual spx copy) ships a new binary
whose host-config prerequisites — the privileged helper scripts and their
sudoers grant, placed only by setup.sh / setup-ovn.sh — it does not ship.
The node looks healthy and the gap surfaces later as a cryptic launch
failure or a silent security regression.

Add a preflight package that checks the host against what this build
expects, comparing asset content, not existence, so a stale-but-present
asset is caught too. The managed helpers install from quoted heredocs, so
their on-disk bytes equal the heredoc body verbatim; the binary carries
the canonical sha256s and compares.

- spinifex/preflight: CheckHost / CheckHostAt, content hash of the two
  managed helpers and a NOPASSWD grant-line check for the sysctl helper.
- Generated canonicalHashes plus a drift guard that re-extracts the
  heredocs and fails if the committed manifest no longer matches.
- Three surfaces: spx admin preflight, a make deploy gate
  (SKIP_ASSET_PREFLIGHT=1 to bypass), and a non-fatal daemon boot warning.

Josh Siviour 272b4b22e8 feat(ochre): add the vLLM serving AMI and give the daemon a route to it (#740)
* feat(images): add a vllm-serving AMI as a stacked mkosi profile

LaunchServingVM resolves its AMI by the tags spinifex:managed-by=bedrock and
spinifex:bedrock-role=vllm-serving. No image carried either, so every Ensure
failed at resolveServingAMI. The only GPU image ships the NVIDIA driver and
Docker but no Python, no vLLM and no serving unit, so tagging it would have
moved the failure from admission to first boot.

Add a vllm profile that stacks onto gpu-nvidia and owns the whole guest side
of the launcher contract: the runtime, vllm-serve.service, the weights mount
and the tags. vLLM is baked into a uv-managed venv rather than pulled as a
container at boot — a runtime docker pull of vllm/vllm-openai is known to
stall this platform's write plane, and mkosi's unprivileged build has no
daemon to bake an image from anyway.

Also bring images/mkosi.profiles/ under make test-images. Its scripts have no
.sh suffix, so the existing name glob skipped exactly the files worth linting;
sources are found by shebang instead.

* fix(images): make the vllm postinst survive the build sandbox

Two failures found by actually running the build.

uv installs to /usr/local/bin, which mkosi's postinst PATH need not carry, so
`command -v uv` reported a good install as missing. Call it by absolute path,
and check it the same way.

`vllm --version` initialises device config and dies with "Failed to infer
device type" on a builder with no GPU, so it could never have verified
anything. Assert the pinned version through package metadata instead, which
also catches a version mismatch rather than merely a broken entrypoint.

* fix(images): pin the serving AMI datasource and mirror cloud-init to the console

A serving VM boots through LaunchSystemInstance, so it comes up dual-NIC with a
fw_cfg netcfg blob and takes its user-data solely from IMDS — the same shape as
the EKS control plane. That path carries a cloud-init datasource pin; the vllm
profile never got one, and the base config deliberately leaves datasource_list
unpinned, so the serving image was the only system VM booting without it.

Reuse the EKS pin rather than copying it. The 99- prefix is load-bearing:
read_conf_d() applies cloud.cfg.d in REVERSE and mergemanydict() is
first-source-wins, so a 90- name loses to cloud-init's own 90_dpkg.cfg ('_'
sorts above '-') and the pin is discarded in silence. The postinst asserts the
MERGED datasource_list via cloud-init's own read_conf_with_confd rather than
checking the file exists, because it existed at 90- too and did nothing there.

Also mirror every cloud-init stage to the serial console. A serving VM is
headless, and a guest that wedges before handover never surrenders
/var/log/cloud-init-output.log, so the console get-console-output reads is the
only channel an operator has.

The images_test.go case covers the two tags resolveServingAMI filters on; it
matches on those alone and never on name, so a typo hides the image entirely.

* fix(images): make the dhcpcd data-NIC lease genuinely one-shot

dhcp_oneshot() promised to configure the link and exit "leaving no daemon
to fight cloud-init", but the dhcpcd branch passed only -q, which is quiet
rather than one-shot. Every Ubuntu image takes that branch, so a dhcpcd
daemon survived on the data NIC holding the control socket.

cloud-init's Ec2 datasource then runs its own ephemeral dhcpcd on the same
NIC. Instead of spawning, dhcpcd forwards the invocation to the resident
daemon as a control command and exits 0, and --dumplease returns the
resident daemon's lease, so discovery looks successful. Cleanup then waits
for a pid file at /run/dhcpcd/<iface>-4.pid that no process ever wrote,
spinning its full 30000 x 10ms budget: init-local stalls for exactly 300s
on every system-instance boot.

Adding -1 exits once the interface is configured and -p keeps the address
and routes across that exit. Both are needed; -1 alone tears the link back
down. The test now models the real clients — the stub stays resident unless
given the flag that makes its client exit, and the dhcpcd branch is forced
by dropping udhcpc from PATH rather than left to whether the host happens
to have /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script.

* fix(images): serve without a CUDA toolkit and stop vllm-serve crash-looping

vLLM picks FlashInfer for top-k/top-p sampling, and FlashInfer JIT-compiles
that kernel on first use. The serving image ships the driver and the
container toolkit but no nvcc, so the sampler warmup died with "Could not
find nvcc and default cuda_home='/usr/local/cuda' doesn't exist" minutes
into a GPU cold start, after the model had already loaded.

VLLM_USE_FLASHINFER_SAMPLER=0 selects vLLM's native top-k/top-p sampler,
which is the same operation with no CUDA toolchain at runtime. Everything
else on the serving path is already precompiled in the wheels: the attention
backend resolves to FLASH_ATTN and CUDA graph capture completes, both
without nvcc. Baking FlashInfer's AOT modules is the alternative if the
fused kernel is ever wanted, and it keeps the toolchain in the builder
rather than the appliance.

The unit had Restart=on-failure with no bound, so an unfixable start failure
restarted forever and buried its own first traceback under identical copies
on the serial console — the only view an operator has of a headless guest.
StartLimitIntervalSec/StartLimitBurst make it report instead.

The postinst asserts the installed unit carries the sampler setting, for the
same reason the datasource pin is asserted there: the alternative is finding
out at runtime, on a GPU, five minutes in.

Also corrects the shared datasource pin's header, which still claimed it
installs as 90-spinifex-ec2-imds.cfg. It is installed at 99- by the vllm
profile precisely because a 90- name loses the reverse-sorted, first-source-
wins cloud.cfg.d merge to cloud-init's own 90_dpkg.cfg.

* fix(bedrock): raise the serving-endpoint readiness bound to 15 minutes

The 5 minute bound was chosen before any cold start had been measured, and
its own comment asked to be corrected once a model actually ran on wattle.
It now has: Llama 3.2 1B on an RTX A1000 reached "Application startup
complete" 257.6s after launch, leaving ~42s of margin on the smallest model
this platform can serve, with a cold torch.compile accounting for 26.3s of
it. A bigger card and a bigger model are unmeasured.

The two failure modes are not symmetric. Too low tears down an endpoint that
was about to come up and reports it as a failed launch; too high only makes
a genuinely stuck launch take longer to give up. So the bound is set well
clear of the single data point rather than close to it.

The CLI's own wait moves to 20 minutes to stay above it. The daemon starts
its clock when the VM is launched, up to a minute after the CLI starts its
own, so leaving both at 15 would expire the client first and report a bare
"timed out" in place of the daemon's abort, which carries the reason.

* fix: give the Ochre daemon a routed port in the Bedrock system VPC

The readiness probe and every InvokeModel call dial a serving VM's
system-VPC address from inside the daemon, but that subnet lives in OVN
on br-int and the host has no route to it, so a healthy VM never reached
READY.

Each daemon now owns an ENI in the system VPC's private subnet, bound to
an OVS internal port on br-int by iface-id, exactly as ovn-controller
binds a guest tap. The ENI address is installed at the subnet's prefix
length, which is what supplies the connected route. BaseURL is unchanged:
the address it already carried is now reachable.

Describe-or-create keyed on a per-node description, since ENIs carry no
tag filter, so a restart or a second endpoint reuses one address instead
of leaking one per launch. The port is ensured before anything else the
launch creates: a VM the daemon cannot dial holds a GPU for the whole
readiness window before unwinding.
