Summary

  • Adds the `260827_remote_hub` devlog unit: research (000), interview record (001), audit syntheses (002/003), audited design (010), phase roadmap (020), and diff-level decade docs for all six implementation phases (030-080).
  • This is the stack BASE for the remote-hub feature chain: hub/client runtime roles, remote GUI sessions, `ocx connect`, two-plane GUI, deployment recipes, and hardening. Docs only — no runtime change.
  • The design went through three adversarial audit rounds (10 + 7 + 2 blockers, all folded; syntheses committed as 002/003).

Verification

  • Docs-only change; no runtime code touched.
  • `bun test tests/repo-hygiene.test.ts` on lidge-ai (remote CI host): 12 pass, 0 fail.
  • `bun scripts/privacy-scan.ts` on lidge-ai: zero findings under `devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/` (the single reported hit is the pre-existing `260827_release_train` doc already on dev).

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added comprehensive planning documentation for a future remote hub mode.
    • Documented standalone, hub, and client operating models, including connection, synchronization, disconnection, and per-machine usage attribution.
    • Added specifications for authentication, pairing, session management, protocol compatibility, deployment, relay behavior, and security hardening.
    • Added a phased roadmap with implementation plans, testing requirements, deployment guidance, and release-readiness criteria.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 36992

This documentation PR does not change runtime behavior, but it defines security-sensitive contracts for the future remote-hub implementation. Several documents still disagree or leave concrete failure paths involving identity-varying catalog caching, crash recovery during key rotation, credentialless session issuance, deployment, transport, and CLI behavior, so merge should wait for alignment or explicit acceptance.

P1 Badge Remove the unreleased security analysis from devlog

This records an unfixed authentication/session defect in a tracked public planning directory, and the subsequent phase documents provide the corresponding pre-disclosure security design and threat analysis. Move this material to .tmp/ or another untracked scratch location and retain only the shipped fix, tests, and public outcome in the repository.

P2 Badge Provide an authenticated models path for the connected GUI

The current gui/src/pages/ApiKeys.tsx:154 fetches /v1/models, but the hub handles that route through data-plane authentication (src/server/index.ts:1027) and explicitly rejects admin credentials, while the planned GUI sends only a hub session/admin principal and the relay allowlist admits only /api/* plus session bootstrap. Consequently the ApiKeys model list fails in both direct and relay connected modes. Route this GUI read through a management-authenticated catalog endpoint or define another scoped mechanism that does not expose the client data key to the browser.

P2 Badge Preserve the GUI health endpoint on management ingress

For the recommended Tailscale Serve deployment, the browser uses this management listener, but the current GUI unconditionally fetches ${API_BASE}/healthz in gui/src/App.tsx:132 and combines the same request with provider loading in gui/src/pages/dashboard-core-poll.ts:257-264. Returning 404 here makes the remote dashboard report no health and discard the successfully fetched provider overview. Allow a safe health projection on this listener or change the GUI to use an allowed management endpoint.

Inline comments:
In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/010_design.md`:
- Line 227: Update the line beginning with “#1686” in the document so it no
longer parses as a Markdown heading, for example by wrapping the issue number in
inline code or moving it onto the preceding line; preserve the surrounding
substitution-rule and injector reference text.
- Around line 86-93: Remove the stale "trusted-tailnet" issuance mode from the
GuiSessionRecord.issuance contract in
devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/010_design.md (lines 86-93) and from the Phase 2
checklist in devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/020_roadmap.md (lines 14-20); retain
the remaining issuance modes unchanged.
- Around line 154-162: Update the high-level connect contract around the local
state and transaction flow to incorporate Phase 3 behavior: per-client key
issuance, apiKeyId tracking, atomic persistence with rollback, and Uint8Array
credential zeroization. Replace or augment the incomplete summary so it matches
the established Phase-3 contract while preserving the no-token-flag and
reversible offline disconnect requirements.

In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/020_roadmap.md`:
- Line 7: Add one blank line before and after every phase heading in the roadmap
document, including all six headings matching the “## Phase ...” pattern, so the
markdown satisfies MD022.

In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/030_phase1_protocol_catalog.md`:
- Around line 36-40: Update the /v1/catalog response caching behavior to use
Cache-Control: no-store for identity-varying responses, preventing
configured-key, environment-token, and loopback requests from sharing cached
representations. Preserve the existing x-opencodex-key-id emission and
validation behavior.

In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/040_phase2_remote_session.md`:
- Around line 18-19: Require HTTPS for all remote requests that mint, exchange,
return, or forward reusable credentials, including the insecure-http-pairing
flow in 040_phase2_remote_session.md lines 18-19 and the pairing-grant exchange
and credential-bearing requests in 050_phase3_connect.md lines 324-333. If HTTP
remains supported, limit it to a credential-free bootstrap and explicitly
prevent reusable grants or gui-session credentials from being transmitted over
HTTP.

In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/050_phase3_connect.md`:
- Around line 303-308: Define a validated, non-config-derived origin source for
exchangeConnectPairingGrant and expose it through the Phase 3 ConnectOptions/CLI
contract so it can be matched against the grant origin and forwarded
consistently by Phase 4; otherwise defer the pairing implementation until the
machine-listener origin is available. Do not use localhost or another implicit
default.

In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/060_phase4_two_plane.md`:
- Line 196: Update the POST /api/machine/shim route-table entry so the action
union separators are escaped or represented without Markdown table delimiters,
preserving the documented install, repair, and uninstall actions.
- Around line 301-305: Update the relay management-header allowlist described in
the forwarding rules to include the browser’s Origin header verbatim for all
remote session mutations, not only POST /opencodex-session. Extend the relay
mutation test to verify Origin is forwarded on /api/* POST, PATCH, and DELETE
requests while preserving the existing header-stripping behavior.
- Around line 427-431: Update the usage route around apiKeyId and
filterRequested to read the request’s apiKeyId, pass it into
projectUsageSummary, and treat it as a requested filter. In projectUsageSummary,
ensure an apiKeyId-only request bypasses the unfiltered-summary early return and
filters entries by the exact trimmed ID before provider/model attribution. Add
the P4-A9 regression test covering this behavior.

In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/070_phase5_deploy.md`:
- Around line 71-72: Use one reproducible repository snapshot for every
verification claim: replace the future-dated 2026-08-28 assertions at
devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/070_phase5_deploy.md:71-72 with the exact
checked-out SHA and actual verification date; update
devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/070_phase5_deploy.md:395-401 to support the
release-pair conclusion with that same SHA and package evidence; and correct the
Phase-6 dependency-boundary claim at
devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/080_phase6_hardening.md:66-70 using the same
snapshot.
- Line 411: Update the activation table row for “ingress on non-hub” so the
runtimeRole value does not contain an unescaped Markdown pipe; use “standalone
or client” or escape the separator as “standalone\|client” while preserving the
table’s three-column structure.
- Around line 275-300: Update the Docker secret contract to specify exact
UID/GID ownership and mode compatible with the final-stage USER bun process,
using the selected Docker/Compose mechanism. Ensure the readiness promotion,
authenticated GET /v1/catalog, and routed-response checks execute as bun and
verify the secret is readable without broadening its permissions.

In `@devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/080_phase6_hardening.md`:
- Around line 318-323: Update the rotate pendingOperation recovery flow in
src/client/state.ts to compare the current token with oldKeyBackupPath before
accepting probe results. If both candidate values are identical, treat the state
as pre-replacement and abort/restore without committing the hub rotation or
deleting either candidate; otherwise preserve the existing commit-or-restore
behavior. Add a regression test covering a crash after persisting
pendingOperation but before replacing the token, where both probes succeed yet
recovery must not commit.
- Around line 498-501: Update the response-header policy for identity-varying
session bootstrap and /api/* management responses to require Cache-Control:
no-store and remove ETag and other validators. Do not preserve cache metadata
for these routes unless an explicitly identity-partitioned cache key is defined
and tested for every allowed management route.

이 PR은 코드가 아니라 devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/에 원격 허브 설계를 남깁니다. hub/client/standalone 역할, 원격 GUI 세션, ocx connect, 관리 평면과 데이터 평면을 나누는 방법, 배포와 hardening까지 6개 구현 단계(030–080)를 문서로 적습니다. 런타임·테스트·워크플로·의존성은 건드리지 않습니다. 뒤에 오는 #2772(phase 1 코드)와 #2776(phase 2 원격 GUI, draft)의 스택 베이스입니다.

지금 dev에는 원격 허브 런타임이 없습니다. GUI 세션은 src/server/management-auth.ts issueGuiSession이 루프백이고 인증이 필요 없을 때만 5분짜리 origin-bound 세션을 만듭니다. /readyz는 service/version/uptime/pid/port/status만 주고, AUTH_MATRIX에는 /v1/catalog가 없습니다. 이 문서는 그 빈칸을 채우려고 합니다. 이미 열려 있는 #2414(dashboardListener + 쿠키 세션)와 목표가 겹칩니다. 두 설계를 같이 키우면 인증 모델이 두 개가 됩니다.

우선순위는 낮습니다. 문서만 있고 production 경로는 안 바뀝니다. 다만 스택 베이스라서 #2772를 dev에 올리려면 이 문서가 먼저 들어가는 편이 깔끔합니다. types/config 분할과 무관하고 preview deploy도 필요 없습니다.

경로 devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/010_design.md - hub/client/standalone과 연결·인증·사용량 귀속의 큰 그림입니다. 지금 dev의 루프백 전제와 맞춰 읽어야 합니다.

경로 030_phase1_protocol_catalog.md - #2772가 구현하는 /readyz protocol 필드와 GET /v1/catalog의 스펙입니다.

경로 040_phase2_remote_session.md - #2776의 세션/페어링/CORS 스펙입니다. 공개 리스너에는 trustedTailscaleIngress: false를 넘기고, Tailscale 자동 세션은 배포 단계 리스너에서만 true로 하기로 적혀 있습니다.

경로 050–080 - connect, two-plane GUI, deploy, hardening입니다. 이 PR 범위 밖이고 아직 코드 PR이 없습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
내용이 후속 코드 PR과 맞으면 비작성자 승인 후 dev에 머지해도 됩니다. #2414는 지금 당장 닫지 말고, 허브 스택을 가기로 정한 뒤에 superseded로 닫으세요. 이 PR만으로는 런타임이 안 바뀌니 코드 리뷰 기준을 여기에 들이대지 마세요.

Requesting changes on exact head bad1624075c75592115ab92f9e49ebcf0c525ce6. Although this PR is documentation-only, it is the security and recovery contract for the remote-hub stack. The current contract still contains implementation-blocking trust-boundary defects.

  1. 040_phase2_remote_session.md:11-25 and 050_phase3_connect.md:324-340 allow a reusable pairing grant to cross non-loopback plaintext HTTP and return a reusable GUI session when two config flags opt in. Operator opt-in does not prevent passive credential capture or an on-path exchange. Remove credential-bearing HTTP pairing, or make HTTP a credential-free bootstrap that upgrades to authenticated HTTPS before any grant/session/admin/client key is transmitted.
  2. 030_phase1_protocol_catalog.md:29-40 gives an identity-varying authenticated response a shared strong ETag and private, no-cache while also varying x-opencodex-key-id. Without a fully tested identity-partitioned validator/cache key, do not allow stored 200/304 representations to cross key types or key ids. Use Cache-Control: no-store and omit ETag/304 on identity-bearing responses, or explicitly prove the partition.
  3. 060_phase4_two_plane.md:298-307 forwards the browser Origin only for exact POST /opencodex-session. The minted GUI session is origin-bound and management mutations use Origin/CSRF checks, so relayed /api/* POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE requests will lose the evidence the hub needs and fail. Forward the browser Origin verbatim for every allowed session-authenticated mutation, with tests for each allowed method and no synthesized fallback.
  4. 080_phase6_hardening.md:318-323 treats “current and backup keys both probe successfully” as proof that the current file contains the new key. A crash after persisting pendingOperation but before replacing the token leaves both files containing the same old key; both probes succeed, the recovery path commits rotation, and the hub then invalidates the only local key. Compare the candidates before interpreting probe results; identical bytes/identities must abort or restore without committing, and this crash point needs a regression.
  5. 080_phase6_hardening.md:496-503 preserves ETag/cache metadata for relayed session/bootstrap and arbitrary management responses. These responses are principal- and origin-varying. Default them to no-store, remove validators, and permit caching only for a narrowly named endpoint with an identity-partitioned contract and tests.

The remote child heads currently have failing CI as well, but these parent-design blockers come first. Please correct this base, then rebase phases 1-6 and re-request exact-head security review rather than carrying the current contract forward.

1 [fold] Fixture repair: hub-too-new = hub{p:2,min:2} vs client p1; hub-too-old = client p2 requiring min2 vs hub{p:1,min:1}. Zero/malformed rows move to the malformed-input test class (400), not the mismatch class.
2 [fold] Chain completion: 030's readyz metadata builder signature becomes build(config, req) from Phase 1; Phase 2's file map adds src/remote/protocol.ts + the /readyz handler as consumers of hub.managementPublicOrigin (config wins over observed origin when set).
3 [fold] Pairing end-to-end: the relay (060) and the mgmt ingress (070) BOTH allow POST /opencodex-session (exchange) in addition to GET bootstrap; ocx gui pair prints a code bound to a caller-supplied browser origin (default http://localhost:10100); dogfood config (070) adds corsAllowOrigins:["http://localhost:10100"].

Requesting changes on exact head 36992baa9fe72b558c0776f521b4d8375ffc2d38.

The five blockers from my review on bad1624075 are substantially addressed: authenticated catalog responses are now no-store/no-validator, session mutations preserve browser Origin, the identical-candidate rotation case no longer commits, relayed management responses drop validators, and the intended credential-bearing HTTP pairing path was removed in several places. The docs-only CI is green. However, this head still contains implementation-blocking contradictions and two unresolved recovery/deployment boundaries:

  1. Plaintext pairing and conditional catalog behavior are still live in authoritative-looking sections. 040_phase2_remote_session.md:80-81 still says non-loopback HTTP pairing is allowed when an explicit opt-in is true, contradicting its own P2-A10 and the corrected Phase-3 contract. 050_phase3_connect.md:516 still tells the owner test to cover “dual-opt-in pairing HTTP” and connected 200/304 sync even though the API at :317-321 is now unconditional and P3-A8 treats 304 as an error. 080_phase6_hardening.md:120,125 still calls for ETag handling/tests. Remove or explicitly mark every superseded contract, not only the later acceptance rows. The same applies to the stale default origin in 002_audit_r1_synthesis.md:7 and the already-resolved “Open questions” in 010_design.md:240-250; an implementer must not have to guess which decade document wins.

  2. Rotation still has an unrecoverable start-before-marker window. 080_phase6_hardening.md:289-303 writes .prev, sends the start request, receives the one-time new secret, and only then persists pendingOperation. A crash after the hub accepts start but before that marker is durable leaves .prev with no marker; the documented recovery incorrectly concludes that rotation never started and deletes it. The hub now has a pending rotation whose one-time secret and rotation id are absent locally. Persist an idempotency/intent identity before sending start and make start/query/abort reconcile it, or define another durable server/client reconciliation path. Add a distinct activation row for “server accepted start, response/marker not durably recorded.” The later identical-candidate fix covers a different window.

  3. The relay still lacks transport and response-type fail-closed rules at the credential attachment point. Phase 3 says connect will not transmit credentials to non-loopback HTTP, but 060/080 allow the relay to trust persisted connectionState.managementUrl and only re-check equality with that origin. A legacy/tampered state can therefore cause the relay to attach a management session to plaintext HTTP. Require HTTPS or loopback before attaching any session/origin/CSRF credential and before fetch. Also replace “safe content type” at 080:539-554 with route-specific response media-type allowlists; explicitly reject HTML, SVG, JavaScript, and other active formats on JSON/session/bootstrap routes, with zero-body-forwarding tests.

  4. The Docker management topology is not constructible as written. 070_phase5_deploy.md:285-286 binds management ingress to 127.0.0.1:10101 inside the container, then says to expose it through an “explicitly co-located” topology without defining one. A host Tailscale Serve process or ordinary sidecar container cannot reach another container's loopback. Choose and document one supported same-network-namespace arrangement (or a separate authenticated internal bind with an equally narrow boundary), and smoke-test remote bootstrap plus authenticated management through that exact topology. The secret contract at :282 and :292-300 must also name UID/GID ownership and mode that the final USER bun can actually read; readiness/catalog/routed checks must execute as that user without broadening permissions.

  5. Fix the contract tables whose unescaped unions currently change the rendered columns: 060_phase4_two_plane.md:196 and 070_phase5_deploy.md:412. git diff --check also reports a new blank line at EOF in 020_roadmap.md.

Because this PR is the stack base for #2772 and later auth/relay phases, these are parent-contract blockers rather than cosmetic documentation issues. Please correct the canonical text, rebase the child heads onto the corrected base, and request an exact-head incremental review again.

- Shared catalog serialization, size cap, data-plane admission, and configured-key-only
`x-opencodex-key-id` attribution. The byte-derived ETag and `If-None-Match` handling
belong to `/api/catalog` alone; `/v1/catalog` has no validator (§ above).

Align the /v1/catalog validator contract.

devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/010_design.md:172-173 assigns ETag and If-None-Match to /v1/catalog, while devlog/_plan/260827_remote_hub/030_phase1_protocol_catalog.md:29-31, 142-148 explicitly forbids validators on that identity-varying route. If Phase 3 follows 010_design.md, a cache that does not partition by key identity can reuse a catalog response across identities. Scope the validator wording in 010_design.md to /api/catalog, or update both documents to define the same route behavior.

Resumption belongs to the next `ocx connect rotate`, which carries fresh transient
authority. That command sees the stored `rotationId`, confirms its abort with the hub,
and only then starts a new rotation. It is not blocked by the `already-pending` rule
(§ rotate contract), because confirming and clearing the stranded operation is precisely
what it is doing. If the abort cannot be confirmed, it stops with the evidence preserved
rather than starting a second rotation on top of an unresolved one.

Record rotation intent before starting the hub rotation.

startApiKeyRotation runs before pendingOperation is persisted at Lines 292-294. If the hub accepts that request and the process stops before the marker write, no rotationId is durable. The .prev cleanup at Lines 296-303 can then delete the backup as if no hub rotation started. The recovery path at Lines 337-342 cannot confirm the abort, and the next rotation can remain blocked by already-pending while the one-time secret is unrecoverable.

Persist an intent or idempotency value before the start request, or add a server-side reconciliation/abort path for an accepted start without a local marker. Add the accepted-start/marker-missing crash test.

One additional cross-stack inconsistency became concrete while reviewing the current Phase-1 child #2772.

030_phase1_protocol_catalog.md:46-58 still specifies x-api-key rejection, a 32 MiB cap, and HTTP 503. Current dev already shipped /v1/catalog in #2979 with the /v1/models admission set, including x-api-key; the rebased Phase-1 child explicitly preserves that behavior, uses the supported-catalog 256 MiB remote cap, and returns 507. Its tests pin those choices. The #2772 description is stale in the opposite direction and still repeats the old ETag/32 MiB/rejection contract.

Please decide the authoritative shipped behavior once, then update both the parent decade doc and #2772 description/tests/code together. The current state asks an implementer/reviewer to satisfy mutually exclusive admission and size/status contracts.

Rebased onto current dev and repaired the contract defects the review raised
on the previous head.

D1 - remove insecure-http-pairing. A reusable pairing grant crossing
non-loopback plaintext HTTP is captured verbatim by a passive observer, and
the config opt-in gating it could not bound the risk it recorded. The
"bootstrap over HTTP then upgrade" variant is rejected too: the plaintext hop
has no trust anchor, so an on-path attacker substitutes its own valid HTTPS
origin and the upgrade authenticates the attacker. remoteGui.allowInsecureHttp
is deleted and a persisted true is dropped with a warning.

D2 - /v1/catalog emits no ETag and never answers 304. The response varies by
key type and key id, so a shared strong validator lets a store revalidate one
identity's representation for another; private, no-cache does not prevent
storage, and the revalidation is what crosses identities. /api/catalog keeps
its validator because it is loopback-scoped and identity-invariant.

D3 - forward the browser Origin verbatim on every allowed session-authenticated
request, not only POST /opencodex-session. The session is origin-bound and
mutations enforce Origin/CSRF, so relayed writes were losing the evidence the
hub requires. Synthesizing an Origin is refused: the relay would attest to
something it never observed and the hub would validate the relay against itself.

D4 - compare candidate identities before probing during rotation recovery.
A crash after pendingOperation is persisted but before the token is replaced
leaves both files holding the old key, where both probe successfully; the old
"both accepted implies commit" rule read that as a completed rotation and lost
the new key permanently. Identical candidates now mean pre-replacement: never
commit, resume instead. Unconfirmed abort or restore retains evidence rather
than installing a guessed generation.

D5 - relayed session, bootstrap, and management responses are rewritten to
no-store with ETag and Last-Modified stripped. Preserving an upstream validator
reintroduced D2 one layer up, at exactly the position where an intermediary
cache is most likely to sit.

Also corrects the 000_research framing of the remote gui-session limitation.
It is a deliberate fail-closed restriction already visible in shipped code and
documented publicly, not an unreported weakness, so calling it a defect invited
the wrong reading of what belongs in a public devlog.
The previous commit closed D1 where the review pointed (040) but left the
enabling contract alive in three other documents: 010 still listed
insecure-http pairing as evidence rung 4, 050 still defined the client
--allow-insecure-http option plus an allowInsecureHttp field on the exchange
call, and 070 still named remoteGui.allowInsecureHttp as a Phase-2 key. A
contract that removes a path in one document and specifies it in three others
is not a fix; an implementer reading 050 would have built the option.

050's "both sides must opt in" rationale is also removed rather than reworded.
Requiring two opt-ins makes the choice deliberate, but deliberateness is not
the control that matters here: the grant is still readable by anything on the
path and the session it mints is still reusable. The client now refuses before
transmission instead of warning after it.

010 additionally records why the "don't over-harden" valve does not need this
path: tailscale serve terminates HTTPS for exactly that deployment, so rung 3
already covers the private-tailnet sole-operator case the valve was for.

P3-A3 is rewritten from "succeeds with explicit warning" to refusal in every
combination, including a tree still carrying the legacy CLI argument or a
persisted config key.
An adversarial review of dfae1da found four contract defects still live and
one bookkeeping error. All are repaired here.

D2 was fixed in Phase 1 but not in the phases that consume it. 030 still
described ETag/If-None-Match as "shared" between the two catalog routes, and
050/080 still specified a client that persists an ETag, sends If-None-Match,
and handles 304 — against a route that no longer emits a validator. An
implementer following Phase 3 would have rebuilt exactly what Phase 1 deleted.
The client now fetches unconditionally, and an unsolicited 304 is a protocol
error rather than a cache hit, since the client never issued a conditional
request.

D3 overcorrected. Saying Origin must never be omitted contradicted the Phase-2
predicate, which deliberately allows Origin-absent safe GET/HEAD reads. The
two rules are now separated: forwarding is verbatim whenever the browser sends
a value, while requiring Origin stays the hub predicate's decision. The relay
refuses only where it would otherwise have to invent a value. The owner test
row now names each mutation method plus both Origin-absent branches, instead
of testing only the pairing exchange.

D4 stated the new identity-comparison rule while leaving the old
"both accepted implies commit" rule intact three paragraphs above and in the
activation matrix, so the document contradicted itself on the exact point the
review raised. The obsolete text is replaced rather than supplemented. The
recovery outcome is also made executable: the new secret is returned once and
startup/status holds no management authority, so recovery cannot "resume"
anything — it stops with evidence intact, and the next rotate, which does carry
transient authority, confirms the stranded rotationId's abort before starting
over.

Bookkeeping: the earlier pass introduced a duplicate P2-A11 and appended three
P6 rows after the verification section instead of into the activation matrix.
The plaintext-bootstrap row is renumbered P2-A21 and the rotation rows are
folded into the matrix, replacing the stale uncertain-commit row.
