- CLAUDE.md: Linux host no longer runs pwsh; PS 5.1 constraints scoped to
Windows guests + Windows runner.
- RUNBOOK: add "Phase C — Python equivalents" table; §6-§13 benchmark records
kept as historical provenance.
- TODO §3.7: close $IsWindows shim bug (resolved-by-replacement — bench run
bypasses the shim).
- plans: mark C1-C8 done + docs C9; flag operational cutover/uninstall pending.

RUNBOOK §15: dual-boot operation — Linux⇄Windows switch procedure, per-OS
CI-stack table (roots/runner/vmrun), current GRUB behaviour (DEFAULT=0,
TIMEOUT=0 hidden → boots straight to Linux), post-boot verification commands
for both OSes, and an optional GRUB tweak (left unapplied — boot-to-Linux is
intentional so the box returns as the Linux CI host after any unattended
reboot).
Checklist: Passo 9 done; fixed the stale global tracking table (Passi 6–9
were still [ ] despite being complete). Phase B is now fully closed (1–9 [x]).

§11 Win-guest static (boot 29.75s, +24% vs Linux-host §8; static-IP floor
~22s confirmed host-independent), §12 Lin-guest DHCP (13.51s, +53%), §13
burn-in 4×10 (Win 36/40 — transient WinRM faults under 4× concurrency,
self-recovered; Lin 40/40). §14 adds the full host×guest×IP-mode matrix.
Plan checkboxes filled with results and the template-parity pre-req note.

§10: single-job Measure-CIBenchmark on LinuxBuild2404 (DHCP, 10 iter) on the
Linux host — boot total 8.82s avg, near-deterministic even on DHCP (IP-acquire
7.45s, σ≈0.01). Guest-vs-guest table: Linux guest ~63% faster boot total than
the Windows static-IP guest (§8) on the same host.
plans/benchmark-windows-host.md: dual-boot plan to collect the symmetric
Windows-host numbers (§11 Win static, §12 Linux DHCP, §13 concurrent burn-in)
so the host×guest×IP-mode matrix is complete and Linux-vs-Windows is a
column-for-column comparison. Includes Windows paths, Credential Manager
prereqs, and the BaseClean-Linux snapshot caveat.

Concurrent capacity burn-in run on the Linux host as ci-runner with the
static-IP pool: WinBuild2025 40/40 PASS (~78.6s/round) and LinuxBuild2404
40/40 PASS (~70.2s/round) — 80/80 jobs, 20/20 rounds, near-deterministic
(static IP eliminates the DHCP IP-acquire variance of the §6/§7 baselines).
- RUNBOOK §9: concurrent burn-in result + ip-pool reset/recovery note.
- PhaseB-user-checklist Passo 7/8 marked done; fixed two checklist bugs:
run as ci-runner (the simone path needs g+w on the /var/lib/ci root for
ip-pool.tmp, not just the sub-dirs), and the Linux command was missing
-SnapshotName BaseClean-Linux (default BaseClean is Windows-only).
- idea-2-linux-host §8 DoD: Phase B complete (B1–B7 + >2 weeks stability).
- TODO §2.8 [P2]: ip-pool is not reconciled against live clones; a killed
job leaks its lease permanently and exhausts the 4-IP pool. Proposed fix.

Static IP via ip_pool: 24 s boot-to-ready vs 102 s DHCP (4x faster),
IP acquire now deterministic (σ < 0.03 s vs σ ≈ 57 s with DHCP).

Replaces the abandoned PSWSMan approach (New-PSSession hangs on Linux)
with a Python-native implementation using the proven pypsrp WinRmTransport.
- New `template prepare-win` command in commands/template.py: starts VM,
waits for WinRM, uploads and runs Install-CIToolchain-*.ps1, handles
Windows Update 3010 reboot loop (max 10 iterations), installs CI-StaticIp
scheduled task, runs post-setup validation, graceful shutdown, snapshot.
- Helpers: _ps_escape, _wait_tcp, _parse_exit_marker, _wait_winrm.
- 40 new tests in test_commands_template.py covering all major branches.
- Fix test_commands_job.py: patch load_config in _patch_common so tests
don't pick up live /var/lib/ci/config.toml ip_pool and fail on lock.
- Coverage gate: 90.06% (was 88.95% before fix).

4-iteration run on Linux Mint host, WinBuild2025/BaseClean.
Clone/Start/Ready/Destroy within ±20% of Windows baseline.
IP-acquire avg 99.7 s vs 58.2 s Windows — high variance (39–177 s),
attributed to VMware Tools reporting latency, not orchestrator regression.

Data from Measure-CIBenchmark.ps1 × 4 (2026-05-17, commit 36913ab):
avg boot 60.6s, IP-acquire dominant (20–85s, σ≈26s). Adds ±20% ranges
for B7 comparison and guidance on sample size given IP-phase variance.

- Updated the final master plan to improve clarity and consistency in the status of various capabilities, including fixes and enhancements made as of 2026-05-12.
- Revised the opus47 analysis to provide a more structured overview of the system's production readiness, including detailed coverage of OWASP Top 10 risks and operational gaps.
- Enhanced the opus47 review of GPT-5.5 by clarifying severity ratings and rationales for various items, while adding new high-severity items that were previously overlooked.
§4.1 — Structured JSONL log (Invoke-CIJob.ps1)
Each job now emits a parallel invoke-ci.jsonl alongside the transcript.
Write-JobEvent appends one JSON line per phase transition (ts, jobId,
phase, status, data). Events emitted at: job.start, phase1.clone-repo
start/success, phase2-3b.vm-start start/success, phase4.wait-ready
start/success, phase5.build start/success, phase6.artifacts start/success,
job.success/failure (with elapsedSec and error string).
Silent no-op if $jsonLog is null (log dir setup failed). Errors in
Write-JobEvent are swallowed — logging never breaks the build.
Enables post-hoc per-phase duration analysis with jq or ConvertFrom-Json.
§4.3 — Disk space alert (scripts/Watch-DiskSpace.ps1)
Checks drive free space every 15 min (scheduled by Register-CIScheduledTasks).
Below MinFreeGB (default 50 GB): writes Warning to Windows Application Event Log
(source CI-DiskAlert, EventId 1001) and exits 1 so Task Scheduler flags the run.
Optional -WebhookUrl for Discord/Gitea webhook notification.
Register-CIScheduledTasks.ps1 updated with Task 3: CI-DiskSpaceAlert (every 15 min).
§4.4 — Incident runbook (docs/RUNBOOK.md)
Four scenarios with symptom / triage commands / fix / escalation:
1. Runner offline in Gitea UI
2. All builds fail in Phase 2 (clone/start/IP)
3. Builds are slow (per-phase JSONL analysis, disk/CPU/NAT checks)
4. Template VMX corrupt after host crash (lock removal + backup restore)
Quick-reference table at the end.
