Agent tenants exist to run the cron-driven duty engine, and the engine's
installer runs unprivileged — it can detect a missing cron but never
apt-get it. Install cron with the shared toolbelt, then assert the
effective state, not the package: crontab on PATH AND cron.service
enabled and active, converging (unmask/enable/start) best-effort first.
A masked daemon with the binary present is exactly the silent-inert box
the issue reports, so the service asserts are the authority and either
failing dies naming cron.
staging-box stays exempt with the rest of the agent-assert block: no
agent, no duty engine. Machine roles (bootstrap.sh) are deliberately
not widened — the issue names tenants as the demonstrated gap.

json_string_array took the first "Tags" array anywhere in the document,
justified by Self-before-Peer field order. An untagged Self omits the key
entirely (Go omitempty), so the match fell through into Peer and returned
a peer's tag — false-refusing every login join and false-verifying
untagged authkey joins on any tailnet with a tagged node. Extract Self by
brace counting (Location nests an object, so slicing to the next key
would truncate) and read the array inside it.

The security-trade paragraph lands verbatim in the README (its twin is in
rig-templates' README, per the issue's docs task), with the 2026-07-24
ruling recorded in place.
The suite drives the whole new surface without a network: the family-suffix
dispatch and hard cut, the marker guards firing with the registry
unreachable, the unknown-role refusal listing the resolved source, every
malformed-definition refusal named by key, DIR-vs-REF identity through a
stubbed curl (tags-first precedence pinned), the renderer's box#80 guard,
the one-line pin, and template-lint's whole gate.
bootstrap-tenant.sh is one mechanism parameterized by a registry definition
(template.env parsed against the allowlist, install.sh run as root with the
tenant in its environment, creds.md spliced into the shared context
skeleton). staging-box stays in-tree — mechanism-adjacent, no agent. The
dispatch in bootstrap.sh moves to the '-box' family-suffix rule so a
template added to the registry is mintable with zero code changes here; an
unknown role's refusal lists what the resolved source actually contains,
naming the source. lib/tenant-config.sh — the per-tenant case-arm table —
is deleted: the hard cut, #76's discipline.
The role-template registry moves out of rig's tree (heavy-duty/rig-templates,
ruled 2026-07-24: pinned to the rig version by default, overridable per mint).
This is the schema-and-resolution half rig keeps: RIG_TEMPLATES_DIR >
RIG_TEMPLATES_REF > the in-tree RIG_TEMPLATES_PIN (the BOX_RELEASE
discipline), template.env parsed against an allowlist and never sourced,
every refusal naming the failing key, and the lint the registry repo's CI
will run on every definition.
The pin currently names the registry's pre-seed head; it bumps to the seeded
tree in this PR's course (the seed PR is the other half of the build task).
Option A per triage's normalization on #95: derive, never mint. The
derivation is pinned — sha256("rig-machine-id:<machine-id>"), first 32 hex
as 8-4-4-4-12 — and the prefix is the contract that keeps the id
uncorrelatable with other tools' derivations, per machine-id(5)'s own
guidance not to expose the raw value.
Missing, empty and 'uninitialized' machine-id files degrade loudly to an
'unavailable (reason)' line: hashing nothing would hand every such machine
the same identity, the worst possible failure for an identity field.

The fourth agent tenant, through the one parameterized mechanism
(lib/tenant-config.sh + bootstrap-tenant.sh) — never a fifth
hand-maintained copy. The official installer (code.kimi.com/install.sh)
is uv-managed and lands kimi in ~/.local/bin, run as the tenant user
(grok's lesson: a root-owned install under a 0700 home is a CLI that
exists and cannot run); no node, uv brings its own Python. The context
file lands at ~/.kimi/AGENTS.md — the <dotdir>/AGENTS.md convention —
with an honest note that kimi documents only project-level AGENTS.md
today.

`sshd -t` folds two questions into one exit code — is the merged config
parseable, and is the privilege-separation directory there. Both call
sites ran it as `sshd -t 2>/dev/null` and read any non-zero exit as the
first question's answer, discarding the line that named the second.
Bootstrap aborted with "sshd rejects the merged config", a verdict sshd
never reached, and sent the operator to audit /etc/ssh files that were
never broken. /run is a tmpfs and /run/sshd is ssh.service's
RuntimeDirectory, so it is legitimately absent under socket activation
on a box whose SSH door is serving connections normally.
Classification is now a pure, sourceable sshd_privsep_gap: the status is
the verdict, the text only classifies a failure, so a passing sshd -t is
never diverted. sshd_config_ok repairs the gap with an idempotent
install -d and retests once. A genuine parse refusal still refuses and
the rollback is untouched.
Refusals now carry sshd's own stderr. users-close-root had the identical
three lines and now reaches the shared judgement through lib/sshd.sh
instead of keeping a second copy of it.

manifest_value, manifest_has and manifest_foreign each read the file with a
bare `while read`, which stops at EOF without ever handing over a populated
partial line. An unterminated final line therefore read as ABSENT — and
absent is exactly the input both convergence rules key off, so the file's
last line was the one least able to survive the miss.
Three failures, in descending order of how much they cost:
- A file truncated mid-write ends AT bootstrapped_at, so the unreadable line
is the birth stamp itself. Rule 1 saw no at-stamp and regenerated the pair
as now() — overwriting the one field that can never be reconstructed. A
fixture born 2020-01-01 came back stamped with the current clock.
- A whole file whose last line is converged_at read as empty, so Rule 2's
one-time repair re-fired on EVERY run: the render stopped being a function
of (existing file, running version) and the clock reached the file after
all. This is the crux property of the feature, broken by a missing byte.
- manifest_foreign dropped an unterminated foreign line entirely, so the
writer ate a later command's provenance — the exact preservation contract
the function exists to keep.
The idiom is the repo's own: lib/users-config.sh:49 reads
`|| [ -n "$line" ]` for the same reason.
Reading the line correctly also repairs the file, since the rewritten copy
is newline-terminated — asserted as "the source plus the newline it was
missing, and nothing else", because a plain ends-in-newline check stays
green on an implementation that drops the final line.
7 tests, each observed RED against the unfixed reader.

A rig-managed machine recorded nothing about its own provenance. The entire
durable output of a bootstrap run was one line in /etc/rig/role, and that line
says what the box IS, never what built it. VERSION was read in exactly one
place (bin/rig:9, for --version) and reports the currently INSTALLED tree, not
the one that ran; there was no timestamp anywhere in the codebase.
bootstrap now stamps a second file beside the marker: schema=1, a birth pair
(bootstrapped_by/_at, pinned forever) and a latest pair (converged_by/_at).
key=value, one per line, 0644 — the one file that must stay readable on the
most broken machine in the fleet, where there is no YAML parser and no jq.
`rig manifest [<key>]` reads it back.
Only DECIDED facts go in, which is what keeps bootstrap.sh:3's convergence
contract intact: bootstrapped_* is first-write-wins, and converged_* updates
only when the version actually differs — it is the time the converging version
last changed, not the time of the last run. The renderer is pure, so a re-run
by the same rig is byte-identical no matter where the clock is, and the
cmp-guard stays silent. OBSERVED facts (cores, RAM, disk, kernel) stay out:
they go stale on their own and belong to `rig platform` (#64).
/etc/rig/role is untouched.
Closes#61

Review found `commands/platform.sh` still telling future readers that a
missing converged_* pair is a legitimate state on a freshly bootstrapped box.
It is not, and the rest of this PR already says so: #61's writer records both
pairs equally at bootstrap, so no writer produces that manifest -- its absence
means partial or hand-edited. README and the fixtures were corrected in an
earlier commit of this series; the comment beside the code was not, which
left the one artifact a future change actually reads while editing this block
still arguing the retired position.
Also corrects two examples that went stale under this PR rather than in it.
#76 and #77 merged while this was in review, so the marker example in the
same file -- and the sample `rig platform` output in README -- still showed
`role=dev class=human host=yes join=authkey`, a spelling bootstrap no longer
writes. Now `role=dev-server root-door=closed host=yes join=authkey`, with a
note that the renderer prints whatever fields a marker carries, so a
pre-rename box still shows its own class= line unchanged.
Comments and docs only; no behaviour change. Same defect class both times --
prose that contradicts the contract the tests pin -- which is why the sweep
went wider than the one site reported.

The reader asked for `version` and `bootstrapped`. #61 specifies `schema`,
`bootstrapped_by`/`bootstrapped_at` and `converged_by`/`converged_at` — so
no writer would ever have produced the keys being read, and the day #61
landed this command would have rendered 'unknown' with the timestamp
omitted, forever, with nothing to say why.
Keyed to #61's spelling, with fixtures carrying that schema verbatim so
the contract is pinned rather than assumed. Birth and latest are reported
separately and neither is inferred from the other: under #61 rule 2
converged_* is written only when the version differs, so its absence is a
legitimate state on a freshly bootstrapped box, printed 'not recorded'
rather than backfilled from birth. A manifest whose schema this rig does
not know is named as such instead of being half-read in silence.
Found in review of #74.
Refs #64
`while IFS='=' read -r k v` drops an unterminated final line: read returns
1 at EOF even having filled k and v. A manifest ending `bootstrapped=...Z`
with no trailing \n rendered `RIG 1.2.3` with the timestamp silently gone
— the version read fine, so nothing looked wrong.
Guarded with `|| [ -n "$k" ]`, the same shape parse_users_file already
uses (lib/users-config.sh:47). #61's writer should not have to know
whether this reader tolerates a missing newline.
Also make human_b fall back like human_kb. With numfmt absent, memory
degraded to a raw number while disk printed 'unknown' beside it, from data
already in hand.
Both found in review of #74.

rig read no hardware at all. The single exception was `uname -m` in
runner-install.sh, used to pick a runner tarball and then discarded — so
"is this the 32GB one, or the M900?" was a question you answered by
logging in and running free -h, nproc, df -h and uname -r by hand, four
commands deep, on a machine you were already unsure about.
`rig platform` prints hostname, OS, kernel, CPU, memory, disk and
virtualization, then a provenance block: which rig, when, and the role
marker's traits.
It COMPUTES rather than stores, and that is the design rather than an
implementation detail. Specs change without rig doing anything — RAM
added, root disk resized, the unattended-upgrades bootstrap itself
enables patching the kernel — so a stored spec is stale the moment the
machine changes, and refreshing one on every run would collide with
bootstrap's "safe to re-run; a second run changes nothing" contract.
Nothing is written, so nothing can go stale.
The corollary is deliberate: reading only /proc, uname, /etc/os-release,
df and systemd-detect-virt means no root, no network, and it runs on a
pristine Debian box rig has never bootstrapped — useful for deciding
what to converge a machine into, not only for auditing it afterwards.
That also makes it the rare rig command the harness can RUN for real
rather than grep: the tests assert the answer describes the actual test
machine (kernel and hostname compared against independently computed
values), and assert it writes nothing.
Both known traps are handled explicitly. /etc/os-release is sourced in a
SUBSHELL — it defines VERSION, NAME and ID and would otherwise clobber
same-named script variables, the form every other site in this tree uses
and test/cli.sh already greps for. systemd-detect-virt exits non-zero on
bare metal while printing 'none', a normal answer that set -e would
otherwise turn into a failed run, so it is wrapped in `|| true`.
Provenance is read, never written, and degrades per file.
/etc/rig/manifest is #61 and does not exist yet, so that line reads
'not bootstrapped' on every machine today; the command ships complete
without it and neither blocks the other.
Named `platform` and not `status`: `users status` and `runner status`
cross-check recorded against live state and print DRIFT, and a command
that records nothing cannot drift, so calling it status would borrow a
promise it structurally cannot make. It also leaves `rig status` free
for the machine-wide roll-up it will eventually want to be.
Refs #64
A users file naming zero users is a valid instruction to revoke every
operator on the box, and it is indistinguishable from the file a stray '>'
produces. The per-user warnings apply already emitted arrive after the
decision and scale wrong: twenty operators is twenty lines of scrollback,
so the signal was loudest exactly where it read as noise.
The /etc/rig/users ledger draws the line apply needs. An empty file against
an empty ledger is an unambiguous no-op; against a populated one it closes
every named door. Only the second now stops, states how many operators are
at risk, and requires explicit consent: --yes, RIG_YES=1 (the
installer-family variable bin/rig's uninstall_confirm already reads), or a
y on a TTY. Without a terminal and without consent it exits 2 in that same
refusal's words, rather than assume a yes it cannot ask for or hang on a
prompt nothing can answer.
A confirmation, not bootstrap's flat refusal of the same file (#57/#59):
bootstrap asserts who lives on a box, apply converges, and converging to
zero stays a legitimate de-provisioning. Ledger entries already marked
revoked do not count toward the number, so a second identical run stays the
silent no-op convergence promises.
Mass revocation below the empty-file bright line is deliberately still
ungated — that needs a threshold someone has to justify.
Refs #65
Caught in review. root_door_of matched unanchored substrings, so any value
that EXTENDS a real one resolved as that value: `root-door=closedish` read as
`closed` and PASSED close-root's gate -- the one arm in this repo that
authorizes an irreversible act -- and `class=humanoid` did the same through
the compat arm. Both contradicted the function's own header, which promises a
value outside the set resolves empty and fails closed.
Only reachable by hand-editing a marker, so it was never a live incident. It
gets fixed anyway because this is the single function every consumer trusts --
close-root's gate, apply's root-SSH note, and bootstrap-tenant's machine
guard all ask it -- and a resolver that is nearly right about a root door is
the wrong kind of nearly.
The marker is one line of space-separated key=value fields (bootstrap writes
it with a single printf), so padding both ends and matching on field
boundaries is exact rather than heuristic. Whitespace is normalised first so a
hand-edit using tabs still reads correctly -- anchoring must not trade one
silent misread for another.
BOTH vocabularies are anchored. Fixing only the current spelling would have
left the hole open on every box bootstrapped before #77, which is precisely
the population the compat arm exists to serve.
Tests pin the resolver and the end-to-end refusal, since the resolver
returning "" is only safe because consumers treat it as one. Reverting the
anchoring turns the suite red (447/4); restoring it returns 451/0. The
original compat proof still holds: removing the class= arm gives 441/10.

The trait was named for who lives on a box; what it decides is whether
root SSH stays open as the control plane's automation door. Those are
different questions, and `dev-server` proved it: an unattended VM-host
appliance nobody lives on, correctly class=human because its root door
must close. After #76 gave `-server` the job of naming the machine
family, that box carried a suffix saying server and a trait saying
human. `dev-server --root-door closed` says what is true, once.
Unlike #76's role rename this field is read back on live machines, so
the compat read is mandatory rather than courteous: one resolver,
root_door_of, reads both vocabularies and every consumer goes through
it — close-root's gate, apply's note, and bootstrap-tenant's
machine-marker guard, which used the presence of `class=` as its "is
this a real fleet machine?" test and would otherwise have let a tenant
converge clobber a live box. New markers are written as `root-door=`
only. Markers carrying both fields in disagreement, or neither, fail
closed with a re-run-bootstrap repair.
Fixture markers are kept deliberately at the retired spelling (the
convention #76's pre-rename-cp fixture established) and pinned at both
consumers; deleting the compat arm turns ten checks red.

The other half of #76. claude -> claude-box, codex -> codex-box, grok ->
grok-box, staging -> staging-box, so a role name always says which family it
belongs to: -server builds a fleet machine, -box converges a guest a box
minted. With both halves in, the two families can no longer collide on a
word the way `staging` did.
The role carries the suffix; nothing inside the guest does. A tenant user is
the account the box SEED created (BOX_USER) and each agent CLI reads its own
dotdir, so claude-box still converges the `claude` user and still writes
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Every rename here is a $ROLE comparison or a case arm --
no CLI binary name, no dotdir path, and no account moved. README's tenant
table now shows role and user in adjacent columns, because that distinction
stopped being cosmetic the moment they differed.
Hard cut, no aliases. The old names are refused as unknown at BOTH
entrypoints -- `rig bootstrap <name>` and bootstrap-tenant.sh directly -- and
the suite asserts each of the four at each, because bootstrap.sh keeps its
own dispatch list and a name could survive in one and not the other. An alias
left in for a single tenant is the shape that survives review: the taxonomy
reads complete while one old name still quietly converges.
The consequence is cross-repo. A seed carrying BOX_BOOTSTRAP_ROLE="claude"
now fails its own mint-time bootstrap, so heavy-duty/box#123 updates the
seeds and must land after this.
Closes#76 (tenant half)

Two review findings from the bot round on this stack.
BLOCKING (codex-bot, claude-bot -- both, independently). bootstrap-tenant.sh
emits the staging guest's tailnet-join next step at the end of a converge
("box shell -> sudo rig bootstrap workload"), repeats it in usage, and two of
its refusals recite the old machine-role list. Fixed here rather than on the
stacked tenant PR because THIS is the branch that removes the `workload` role
-- shipping it alone would print a next step naming a role that no longer
exists.
None of those four sites is code that ACCEPTS a role, which is why the rename
missed them, and is also what makes them the worse failure. A stale flag dies
immediately with a usage error. A stale next-step is copy-pasted by a human
onto a DIFFERENT box, minutes after the run that printed it reported success,
and dies there with no thread back to the cause.
So test/cli.sh sweeps every shipped script under bin/ and commands/ for
`rig bootstrap <pre-#76 name>` rather than pinning the four known sites: the
next instance of this class will be somewhere else. Proven non-vacuous --
reintroducing the bare `workload` next-step turns the suite red (412/1),
restoring it turns it green (413/0).
NON-BLOCKING (claude-bot). The migration story was documented and untested:
every marker fixture was renamed alongside the code, so nothing asserted what
a real pre-rename box does. A `role=control-plane` fixture now pins both
halves of the promise -- such a box WARNS on the coolify verbs (its marker no
longer names a role that exists) and is never REFUSED. Both halves matter: a
rename that turned this into a refusal would break the exact boxes the
CHANGELOG promises keep working, on the command that installs the control
plane.

rig builds two kinds of thing on opposite sides of a trust boundary --
tailnet machines it converges, and guests a box mints -- and both families
lived in one flat namespace with nothing in a role name saying which you
meant. `staging` is where that stopped being cosmetic: the word names the
metal that hosts guests and the guests on it, only one could have it, and
#31 gave it to the guests. The VM-host shape was left nameless, spelled
`custom --class server --host yes --join authkey`, which is what every
refusal recited at an operator who had confused the two.
The suffix now names the family: control-plane-server, workload-server,
runner-server, dev-server, plus the restored staging-server (class=server
host=yes join=authkey). host=yes already installs the box CLI and runs box's
setup-host, so staging-server is a table row, not new machinery. It stays
OUT of the tag:server allow-list deliberately -- a host is never managed by
the control plane, its guests are -- so its key is minted tag:local.
custom and workstation keep bare names as the rule, not an exception to it:
custom presets nothing and can be any shape including a guest, so a family
claim is one it cannot make; a workstation is somebody's own device, joined
by interactive login, user-owned and untagged, never tailnet-managed.
Hard cut, no aliases -- old names are refused as unknown. Two consequences
this reaches beyond the CLI surface. TS_HOSTNAME defaults to the role name,
so a box taking the default now comes up control-plane-server. And the two
coolify commands match the ROLE NAME in /etc/rig/role, not the traits, so
they now look for role=control-plane-server; a pre-rename control plane
takes their warning branch, which is advisory and never a gate, so the run
proceeds and the message names the repair.
dev-server is class=human, which reads like a contradiction and is not: the
suffix names the family, the class names the root-SSH door policy. The two
axes share the word "server", which is a real wart -- #77 renames the class
trait to what it controls, kept separate because it reaches markers on live
machines that guard root SSH.
Tests cover both directions of the cut: every new name resolves, every old
name is refused as unknown, and the two deliberately-bare roles are proven
NOT to have been swept up -- the inverse error, which would otherwise only
surface at somebody's laptop.

An empty, comments-only or whitespace-only users file is not a parse error,
so it walked straight through the requirement #51 built: pre-flight passed,
apply converged nothing, and the box came up root-only — the exact outcome
--no-users exists to make explicit, reached by the flag added to guarantee
the opposite. `--users ./empty` and `--no-users` produced the identical box
and only one of them said so.
Catch the zero-user parse in bootstrap's pre-flight, where the file is
already parsed for validation and before apt, the hostname change, or a
spent pre-auth key. The refusal names --no-users: the root-only box is
reachable, it just has to be asked for out loud.
Deliberately narrow. This is bootstrap's contract, not the parser's and not
apply's: zero users is a legal file, and a standalone `rig users apply`
against an emptied file is a real de-provisioning operation that must stay
possible. Negative-grep tests pin both.
Closes#57

`rig bootstrap` already knew everything else about what a box is — class,
host, join, hostname — and wrote /etc/rig/role to say so. The users file was
the last piece of that answer it did not take, so bring-up was two commands
and the second one was the forgettable one.
--users <path> now runs the `users apply` convergence as bootstrap's final
phase: after the traits, after the verified tailnet join, after the role
marker (apply reads that marker), and after the host=yes box install (so
box-role users find the incus group box's own setup-host built). One
command, and the box has its people on it.
BREAKING: --users is required on every machine role, with --no-users as the
explicit opt-out. Omitting both is a usage error naming both flags; passing
both is a usage error too. class=server is required as well: a machine
nobody logs into routinely is exactly where shared-root access rots, and
per-human accounts keep attribution intact for the times someone does go in.
The file is never persisted — passed per invocation, read once through
apply, copied nowhere. `--users -` is refused: bootstrap's stdin belongs to
the pre-auth key prompt. The box TENANT roles take neither flag; a guest is
minted non-interactively, never joins the tailnet, and has no SSH door of
its own.
rig still never installs Incus and never calls `box setup-host` itself. The
host=yes box-role precondition refuses early only where the outcome is
already proven (RIG_SKIP_BOX_INSTALL=1); every other way that step can fail
lands in `users apply`'s existing refusal, unchanged.

Role `box` resolved to exactly one action, `usermod -aG incus`. That is
the socket — step 1 of the five `box grant` performs. Without the other
four (the user-<uid> project, its narrowing to boxnet and only boxnet,
the snapshot and backup allowances clone and `box export` ride, and the
shipped box-net profile installed into that project) the user's first
`box new` refuses for want of a box-net profile, so apply's promise —
the users file is the fleet's source of truth — was not kept for this
role. Worse, until an admin arrived by hand the user held an `incus`
membership with no converged project, and incus-user would lazily hand
them a stock unhardened NAT bridge: a state box's own contract forbids.
On host=yes apply now calls `box grant <user>` per box-role user. rig
calls box's grant rather than reimplementing four fifths of it — the
"rig never installs Incus" boundary is about installation, not
invocation, and grant is already script-callable: idempotent,
root-or-sudo, stdin-pinned, with its own run-as-the-user touch.
Three decisions the code carries in comment form:
- Ordering. The call sits after `useradd` (grant opens with a getent
passwd and refuses an unknown account) and after the other groups, so
a user whose grant fails still lands with everything rig owns outright.
- Failure granularity, split the way the host= guard beside it already
splits. A missing box CLI on host=yes dies, like the missing incus
group: a broken VM host, not a per-user accident. A per-user grant
failure warns and continues — one box-role user somewhere in the fleet
must not stop apply everywhere VMs don't live. host=no and marker-less
boxes keep their existing skip-with-warning untouched.
- The group ADD is deferred to grant, while `incus` stays in the wanted
set so the exact-convergence loop never strips a box-role user's
socket. Grant's rollback only reaches a membership that run added, so
rig opening the socket first would leave a failed grant unable to
close it. And grant is the authority on whether the group belongs at
all: for an incus-admin member it deliberately does not add `incus`.
An incus-admin member is warned, never fatal: box grant refuses them
today, which heavy-duty/box#99 fixes box-side with no rig change needed.
Closes#49

`users apply` converged group `incus` with a bare `gpasswd -d`, the same
move it makes for `rig-admin` and `rig`. Those two are rig's. `incus` is
box's, and `box revoke` does strictly more with it: it says out loud that
supplementary groups are read AT LOGIN, so a session the dropped operator
already holds keeps the Incus socket until that session dies, and it hands
over `loginctl terminate-user <user>` as the remedy.
rig logged "removed <user> from incus" and moved on. An operator who
dropped someone from the users file and watched apply succeed believed the
VM access was gone — and was wrong for as long as that user held a session.
Both removal paths — the per-user convergence loop and the dropped-user
sweep — now route the incus group through one `drop_incus` helper that
calls `box revoke`, keeping a single owner for the group. Never `--purge`:
that deletes the user's boxes, images and project, and destroying someone's
running machines is not a convergence step; it stays an explicit admin act.
The exit code is not trusted (the #12 lesson bootstrap already applies to
box's installer): a revoke that returns 0 with the membership still
standing has not closed the socket, so the effective state is checked and
rig falls back to removing the group itself — as it also does on a host
where box is not installed. Every fallback path carries the session warning
in rig's own voice, because the silence was the bug. The absent-group case
needs no new guard: `id -nG` cannot report a group that does not exist, so
the existing `in_group` test at both call sites is already false on a
host=no box or one where `box setup-host` never ran.

users apply consulted the host= trait only when group incus was ABSENT,
so a host=no or marker-less box that nonetheless carried the group handed
box-role users a bare `usermod -aG incus` — the socket with no tier, which
incus-user answers by lazily building an unhardened project under whoever
opens it.
The marker now decides in both directions through one pure gate,
assert_marker_hosts_vms, so the verdict is identical whether or not the
group exists. The marker wins over the machine deliberately — it is the
box's declared identity and every other host= decision already treats it
as authoritative — but not silently: when the group exists and the trait
disagrees, the skip names the contradiction and rig bootstrap as the fix.

A bare 'read -rsp' with no tty exits non-zero and set -e ends the script
with no output at all: the release drill watched 'rig runner remove' exit 1
in complete silence, and a guest bootstrap stop mid-log the same way. Every
prompt now checks for a tty first and dies naming the variable that
unblocks an unattended run; every read is || die-guarded so EOF at a real
prompt also gets a last word. The no-bare-read test swept up runner
repoint's two prompts, which the issue had not counted.
Fixes#42

- The staging marker tolerance now says what the docs meant: class=server
with host=no only. A non-server machine (class=human via custom) refuses
with its own message instead of dying later inside harden_sshd with
server-specific advice. Fixture pins the refusal.
- The docker converge asserts the DAEMON answers (docker info, bounded
30s settle), not just the client binary — grep-pinned.
- The agent-CLI version check is one capture serving assert and log;
emptiness is the failure signal (head exits 0, a pipeline status can't be).
- Harness gains the codex login-flow context grep alongside claude/grok.
Verified: test/cli.sh 244/0, shellcheck -x clean, live container e2e
(staging round 1 + convergence round 2, dockerd answering).

box templates collapse to thin, creds-free seeds (box#81); everything a
tenant machine BECOMES moves here, as convergent, re-runnable roles with
effective-state asserts. One mechanism (bootstrap-tenant.sh) parameterized
per tenant through a pure lib (tenant-config.sh) — never four copies —
dispatched from bootstrap.sh so 'rig bootstrap <role>' stays the single
entrypoint.
The agent tenants land the toolbelt (git, gh, tmux, …), docker, the agent's
CLI on the SYSTEM path (box exec shells read no rc files, #15), and the
agent-context file — rendered from ONE shared template that carries the
box#80 guard note once: never run box setup-host or the drill inside a box;
the box you are in is not a host you own. staging lands box#69's server
posture — docker + sshd hardening — through lib/sshd.sh, extracted verbatim
from bootstrap.sh so both families converge ONE drop-in with one converger;
its tailnet workload join stays operator-run, exactly the creds split #69
designed. Everything is asserted on effective state: the CLI must ANSWER as
the tenant user (the grok template's linked-but-cannot-run scar), docker
must answer, sshd -T must resolve.
'staging' therefore moves from the VM-host preset to the tenant role — the
thing box#81's seed will auto-run. The host shape lost nothing: it is
'dev --class server' (or custom with all three traits), the catch-all
effective-tag refusal still owns its tag policy, and a pre-#31 staging host
re-running its old command gets a loud refusal naming the new spelling —
tenants refuse host=yes boxes, agents refuse any machine-role box, staging
tolerates the workload-joined guest and leaves its marker alone.
Harness: the arg/refusal surface, the marker guards off fixture markers,
the pure parameter table, the rendered context file (guard included, all
three agents), creds-free-by-absence greps (no tailscale, no prompt), the
CLI-verified-not-trusted pin, marker-after-converge ordering, and the
re-pointed sshd-lib pins. 241 passed, 0 failed; shellcheck -x clean.

Round-2 convergence (codex + claude-bot): sshd enforces the group
directives against the candidate's ACTUAL membership, and the gate read
only the *Users pair — an admin outside 'AllowGroups sudo' still
reached ADMIN_OK=1, and root closed on a false proof. The gate now
resolves id -Gn and judges both group directives with the *Users
discipline: DenyGroups flags on a held-group literal or ANY
pattern/host-qualified token; AllowGroups, when set, passes only on a
literal token naming a held group (a pattern that would admit proves
nothing — over-refusing stays the safe error). id failing yields no
groups, which makes a set AllowGroups flag: fail closed there too.
Both requested regressions ride the sourced lib (unmet AllowGroups,
DenyGroups naming a held group) plus the pattern/pass cases, and grep
guards pin the shipped gate to the verdicts and to real membership.

All three reviewers, same substance, and they were right that it was
lockout-adjacent: the literal grep passed a candidate whom a DenyUsers
PATTERN really denies ('DenyUsers dan*' vs admin 'dan'), and the door
closed on a false proof. The judgment now lives in the lib as a pure
deny_verdict: a literal hit flags, and so does ANY pattern or
host-qualified token — a token the check cannot prove irrelevant counts
as a hit, never as a pass. The asymmetry with AllowUsers is now the
same direction on both sides: every error closes toward repair, never
toward a welded-shut door.
Also (claude-bot): the -C probe resolves Match blocks against a
synthetic addr=127.0.0.1, so Match Address is out of the local proof's
scope — named in --help, the README, and the gate's comment, so the
separate-session advisory reads as load-bearing, not ceremony.
Regressions ride the sourced lib: wildcard (the review's dan* case),
'?', USER@HOST, literal hit, irrelevant-literals pass, plus a grep
guard that the shipped gate consults deny_verdict.

All three reviewers, same substance: 'command -v box' proves the CLI
landed, not that setup-host took effect — and the success line claimed
both. The claim is now split to match its proofs: PATH proves the
install; 'box doctor' (box's own effective-state verdict — the daemon
stays box's domain) gates "host set up". A failed doctor WARNS with the
verdict verb and the manual path, and claims nothing it cannot prove.
Also: the coolify marker guard matched 'role=control-plane ' by its
trailing space, coupling it to the marker's field formatting — a bare
'role=control-plane' line now reads the same (claude-bot's nit), with a
fixture proving it.

#17's table said runner 'can close root once an admin user is proven'; the
class model (#26) superseded the per-role call, and close-root refuses on
class=server — runner's class. The gate does not change: the refusal message
now explains itself (server-class machines are automation identities whose
management plane IS root SSH; a CI box meant to be administered like a human
machine is --class human at bootstrap, not an exception), and the README's
identity-model section records the divergence in one paragraph. README also
documents the @root seed token and close-root's reachability proofs.

The StrictModes-shaped gate reads files, and files can all look right while
the door stays shut: a sudoers drop-in that never landed, an AllowUsers or
Match block elsewhere in sshd's config. #17 names the two checks that
interrogate behavior instead, and they now run per candidate, additively,
before the drop-in installs: 'runuser -u <admin> -- sudo -n true' (NOPASSWD
sudo answers or it does not — -n never prompts; a missing runuser skips the
proof with a loud warning rather than blocking the door on a missing
prover), and 'sshd -T -C user=<admin>,host=...,addr=...' (the per-user
EFFECTIVE config — pubkeyauthentication yes, no literal DenyUsers hit,
AllowUsers if set must name them; Allow/Deny patterns match literally, fail
closed). The one thing no local check can prove remains possession of the
private key — the separate-session advisory stays load-bearing.

The headline of #17: rig can verify a lot locally, but never that the
operator HOLDS the admin's private key. Seeding authorized_keys from root's
current /root/.ssh/authorized_keys turns that unprovable claim into a proven
one — the operator is connected as root right now using one of those keys.
The users file gains the literal key-field token '@root', shape-validated in
the parse pass (exit 2, pre-root-check, testable non-root); apply resolves
it once after the root check, dies with the repair when root has no keys to
seed, copies key lines verbatim (options included — rig will not silently
widen what a key can do), and writes seeded keys first with literal lines
appended, so the cmp-guard keeps re-runs convergent to root's then-current
keys plus the literals.

Issue #25 named this consumer when it introduced /etc/rig/role: 'rig
<cmd> sanity warnings later (e.g. coolify install on a non-control-plane
box)'. Both coolify verbs now read the marker through the lib's
read_role_marker (RIG_ROLE_MARKER overrides the path for fixtures, repo
precedent) and warn when it names any role but control-plane — the
likeliest story is the wrong SSH session about to put a control plane on
a workload box.
The marker stays advisory: it may be absent (pre-marker boxes,
hand-built boxes) and absence stays silent — warning there would nag
every legitimate run — and a present-but-different marker warns and
proceeds, because an advisory file must never outrank the operator
(contrast close-root, where the marker IS the gate: shutting the root
door blind is irreversible in a way an extra Coolify is not). The check
sits after arg validation and before the root check, so exit codes are
untouched (usage stays 2, the root refusal stays 1) and the harness
proves it non-root.
Tests drive the live matrix through fixture markers (warns on workload,
silent on control-plane and on absence, still exits 1 at the root
check) and pin the warning's presence in both shipped scripts for
root-run environments.
