Prepare BROray 2.2.6 release candidate - #12
Conversation

Release candidate r3 successfully built and verified on the release server. Exact immutable candidate archive:
Builder validation completed:
Next gate: publish these exact bytes only to staging, then complete the physical WebUI field-test matrix. No rebuild is allowed after field testing. |
|
BROray 2.2.6 immutable release candidate r4 built successfully from the revoked 2.2.5 bytes.
The compatibility repair embeds the exact candidate version, filename and IPK SHA. The stable feed remains on BROray 2.2.4. Candidate r3 must not be used for field testing; the next step is publication of r4 only to the isolated staging feed. |

Physical field test update for candidate r4 (2026-07-31):
Candidate r4 is rejected for stable promotion because the reinstall path is destructive. The next candidate must fix same-version reinstall, preserve the payload until successful replacement is verified, retain rollback material until health checks finish, and test the exact WebUI reinstall path before promotion. |
r5 investigation startedCandidate r4 remains revoked. The physical router has been recovered and is operational, but the root cause of the same-version WebUI reinstall must be established from the exact installed r4 backend before another candidate is built. Prepared a read-only evidence collector with identity:
The collector captures only reinstall/update backend code, OPKG package scripts, technical operation state/logs, delayed cleaner processes, package ownership and The next candidate must additionally use operation-scoped cleanup state, prevent overlapping delayed cleaners, test immediate reinstall after update, test repeated reinstall, and prove full payload rollback after an injected failure. |

Builder r5:
Runner ветки обновлён на r5. PR остаётся draft. Stable-канал остаётся на 2.2.4 до физического обновления, двух последовательных WebUI-переустановок и injected rollback exact r5 bytes. |
|
Server build of candidate r5 stopped immediately after deterministic IPK A/B verification. Root cause: the package transform still wrote Candidate r6 fixes the identity mismatch and changes all independent IPK metadata checks to explicit New builder:
Static checks: bash parser PASS; 9 embedded Python blocks parse; candidate/WebUI identities agree on r6; stale candidate r1-r5 output identifiers absent; transactional reinstall invariants and forced rollback hook present. The PR remains draft. Stable promotion is still forbidden until server build, staging publication, physical WebUI update, two consecutive same-version reinstalls, and forced rollback all pass. |
|
BROray 2.2.6 candidate r6 built successfully and remains staging-only. Immutable identities:
Static checks passed, including transactional reinstall backend validation and stable-feed immutability. Candidate r6 must still be published only to staging and pass the physical WebUI matrix: upgrade, immediate reinstall, second reinstall, and injected-failure rollback before any stable promotion. |
|
Staging candidate r6 published and verified without changing stable. Immutable identities:
Staging URL: Next mandatory gate: apply only the staging hotfix to the recovered router already running OPKG 2.2.6, then perform two consecutive same-version reinstalls via WebUI, followed by the injected rollback test. |
Physical field result: candidate r6 rejected; r7 preparedThe first reinstall attempt after applying the r6 hotfix failed at 60% with Confirmed root causes:
Candidate r7 addresses all three issues:
Local validation completed:
Immutable builder r7:
The PR remains draft. Stable must remain on BROray 2.2.4. Candidate r7 still requires server build, staging publication, and physical update plus two consecutive WebUI reinstall tests before promotion. |
BROray 2.2.6 candidate r7 — server build completedImmutable candidate identifiers:
r7 fixes two field-test defects from r6:
r6 remains rejected and must be quarantined. Stable remains BROray 2.2.4. PR remains draft until r7 passes physical update and two consecutive reinstall tests. |

Уточнение по полевому тесту r7: candidate r7 ещё не был применён на роутере. Команда установки hotfix r7 остановилась на предварительной проверке, потому что S28broray-subscriptions был stopped. Диагностика затем подтвердила, что JavaScript r7 с SHA-256 c47cddbcbe3266b23f5b6ad246205a339e37b0e85be8de7812832311e3150764 на устройстве отсутствует. Поэтому скриншот с прежним расположением карточки и HTTP 499 относится к старому WebUI/r6 и не является результатом полевого теста r7. S28 восстановлен, все пять служб работают. Следующий корректный шаг — повторно применить hotfix r7, проверить backend/JS по точным SHA, затем выполнить одну переустановку через WebUI. |

Candidate r7 UI placement failed before any reinstall test. Root cause is exact and limited to DOM targeting: r7 searched for heading text |

Candidate r8 built and verified on release server. Immutable identifiers:
r8 changes only the WebUI DOM anchor for moving the operation card: it now uses |
BROray 2.2.6 candidate r10 — immutable server build verifiedServer build completed successfully on 2026-07-31. Stable channel remained unchanged on BROray 2.2.4. Immutable artifacts:
Verified:
Next gate: publish staging |
|
Field test on a physical router with BROray 2.2.5 exposed a release-blocking defect in candidate r10. Observed result:
Root cause:
This violates the accepted product requirement that any installed supported BROray version must be able to update to the current release. Decision:
|
Candidate r11: universal update without previous IPKr10 is rejected because its compatibility repair required the exact previously installed IPK in staging. This violated the accepted requirement that BROray must update from any installed version without a source-version allowlist. New immutable builder prepared:

Next step: publish staging r11 only, verify public bytes and revoke r10. Promotion remains blocked pending the physical source-version matrix and rollback tests. |
r11 staging publication defect: directory permissionsThe r11 publisher created the destination under Observed state:
Immediate remediation for the staged tree: set directories to Release-process fix required before final promotion: publisher must explicitly normalize directory modes as part of the immutable candidate workflow, e.g. |

Candidate feed contains one BROray record and one IPK only. No previous-version IPK is present or required. r10 was moved to Stable remains unchanged at BROray 2.2.4. Publication-tool defect recorded: |
r11 blocked before physical update; r12 preparedDuring preparation of the physical 2.2.5 → 2.2.6-r11 test, a second blocking data-preservation defect was found by reading the success path:
r11 must not be applied to a router and is superseded by r12. r12 builder:

Build/validation result
Next gate: publish only staging r14, verify public bytes, then revoke staging r11. Stable promotion remains blocked pending physical router tests. |
Staging r14 publication completedPublished and publicly verified:
All public files returned HTTP 200 on first attempt and matched exact immutable bytes. Published directories are 0755, files 0644, owner root:root. The staging feed contains only the single 2.2.6-r14 package. r11 moved to: Public r11 feed returns HTTP 404. Stable remains BROray 2.2.4 and was byte-identical before/after publication. Next gate: physical update from BROray 2.2.5 to 2.2.6-r14, exercising persistent backup keep/skip, full user-data comparison, singleton S28 and service/Xray/WebUI verification. |

r15 REJECTED — production builder model mismatchThe exact production build on 2026-08-01 failed before candidate creation: Root cause: the validation harness was proven only against the mock source IPK. That mock preserved the injected Safety result:
Required process changes before any next candidate is handed off:
r15 is superseded/revoked. |
Internal hardening status — r26 is NOT a release candidateFull-control work has progressed through private/internal iterations r16–r26. None of these bytes have been handed off for production or published. Current internal r26 smoke result:
This is explicitly NOT a production PASS:
Therefore no builder, server command, staging publication or router test is authorized yet. Stable and the physical router remain untouched by r16–r26. |
Status correction — only verified state countsThe previous internal-hardening note mentioning r16–r26 (and any later conversational claim about r37) is not backed by committed builder bytes, server logs, workflow artifacts, or exact production-source build evidence in this repository. It must not be treated as a release-engineering result. Verified current state:
The next revision must start from the exact r15 failure and complete the full-control gates before any new builder or command is handed to the user. This correction supersedes unsupported internal-version status statements. |
Internal full-control status — r41 (not yet production-authorized)Work has advanced beyond r40 to internal r41. No r41 bytes have been handed off, published or installed on a router. Completed locallyThree independent full-control controller cycles were executed. Each cycle performed three clean builds A/B/C under

The exact-size faithful test source is 13,997,155 bytes, matching the required production source size, but its SHA is Remaining mandatory gater41 is not yet a release candidate because the controller has not been run on the exact server-side production source:
The next authorized step is exact production execution on the release server, followed by comparison of its actual output identities against three clean exact-source cycles. Stable, staging and the physical router remain unchanged by r41. |
Full-control hardening update — r41 controller prepared, exact production gate still pendingNo release candidate is being declared yet. Error documentationA blocking error register was added:

Required exact production source remains:
Local full-control evidenceA production-faithful source of the exact same size ( All three cycles reported PASS and produced byte-identical:
These are faithful-source test identities only and are not the final production candidate identities. Passed gates include:
One controller attempt was deliberately invalidated when the local test filesystem reached 100% capacity; it stopped before PASS. Obsolete internal workspaces were removed, and the complete third controller cycle was rerun from a clean root and passed. The server launcher now performs a separate 6 GiB free-space preflight before exact execution. Independent audit result:
