 ### Decided
 
+- Gitea issue 57: Spencer chose the stricter archive rule (2026-11-03, open question 53). The archive copy must succeed before a packet counts as filed. A failed copy keeps the packet where it was and tells Admin. See Changed.
+- Gitea issue 9: SethD kept the drawing-origin change order for a same-rev re-release on an in-shop packet (2026-10-29), so the shop confirms the new pages. A byte-identical file is still ignored. Nothing changes in the build.
+- Gitea issue 4: SethD wants the order a packet shows to follow the shop schedule, which is Presley's Production Planner (2026-10-29). Asked on the issue on 2026-10-30: what it is, where it lives, what a row holds and how often it changes. Packet Station would only read it. The order rule stays as built until then.
+- Gitea issue 31: two follow-up questions asked on 2026-10-30. A work order deleted from VISUAL while open blocks filing for good: count a leg gone for 2 runs as closed, or let an Admin close it with a reason? And should Shipping packets also wait for the VISUAL close? Both stay as built until answered.
 - Gitea issues 10, 14, 15, 16, 22, 26, 28 and 29: SethD kept the built rules (cancelled work orders flagged only, data book date for Clerical and Q.C., signature undo rules, the server release gate, no "copy marks" button, block signature removal, the data book built at filing, every role may read the PDFs). Nothing changes in the build.
 - Gitea issue 6: every policy tightening stays, filing for packets routed to Shipping included.
-- Gitea issues 1, 24, 25, 27 and 31: SethD changed five defaults, to build in phase 10 (PLAN.md changes C1 to C5): over target follows VISUAL ticket hours; a Q.C. reject always needs a reason and acceptance needs an NCR number; an incomplete ITP blocks filing; prints go to the print dialog from the page; filing waits until VISUAL shows the work order closed.
+- Gitea issues 8, 18, 23, 32, 33 and 36: SethD changed six more defaults (PLAN.md changes C6 to C11, built 2026-10-30; see Added and Changed): the data book leaves out the history pages; a supervisor approves each received short and a packet cannot complete until every short is approved; checklists are per department, edited by its supervisor, and changes reach new packets only; Q.C. and Clerical may run the stamp check; the PM screen is for PS-ProjectMgmt and Admin; the Stall screen follows the supervisor's assignment.
+- Gitea issues 7, 11, 13, 17, 30, 34 and 35: kept as built, or settled as planned (the archive gets the data book, the documents and a manifest at filing; nothing is purged).

 - Gitea issue 21: carried marks stay computed; the next department adds its welds to the same weld map.
 - Gitea issue 37: production and test each run natively on their own Linux VM, not in Docker. docker-1 keeps CI only. Built in phase 10; the docker-1 test stack runs until the test VM is ready.
 - Gitea issue 7: project files are also archived to an NFS share on the QNAP. Phase 10 adds an Admin setting for the archive folder that checks read and write. Nothing is deleted from Packet Station.

 - Gitea issue 20: the storage alert stays at 85 percent. Phase 9 mails it to PS-Admins.
 - Gitea issue 38: the test stack's files stay under `~/packetstation/test` on docker-1. The test env example, the compose header and the docs now give that path.
 
+### Removed
+
+- `scripts/Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1`, its Pester tests and its DEPLOY.md procedure. IT issues and binds the vsql certificate by hand. Gitea issue 5 still tracks the switch to `VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes`.
+
 ### Fixed
 
+- The hand drawing, hand BOM and rev approval lines on a VISUAL draft showed the person's user id instead of their name.
+- The MTR viewer showed PDF certificates in a frame the server's own headers refuse, so Chrome showed nothing. It now draws them with the drawing viewer.
+
 - Gitea issue 42: work-order text on the traveler stays inside its own box. Each line shrinks down to 70 percent of its size, then is cut with "...", so a long work order, operation or drawing no longer runs over the next QR code. The gap between work-order boxes is 18 pt, a quiet zone for the kiosk scanner. On the Work orders tab the card text wraps inside the card, the work order is 22 px and cards are at least 340 px wide, one per row on a narrow screen.
 - Board columns are frames about three cards tall (700 px, never taller than the screen) that scroll on their own, with the column heading staying put, so a long column no longer pushes the next one far down the page. Narrow screens keep the plain one-column flow.
 - Sign-in refused as cross-origin in Firefox: the app sent `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`, under which Firefox sends `Origin: null` on same-origin POSTs. The policy is now `same-origin`, which still sends nothing to other sites.
 
 ### Changed
 
+- Filing copies the packet to the archive inside the filing transaction (Gitea issue 57). If the folder check or the copy fails, nothing is filed: the packet stays in its previous stage, the person filing sees why (503 `archive_failed`), and Admin gets the critical `archive_failed` alert for that packet with who tried, the folder and the error, plus an `archive.filing_blocked` audit row. Filing it again once the archive works files it and clears the alert. The `archive-copy` worker job now only catches up filings made while the archive was off. With the archive off or no folder saved, filing is unchanged.
+- Phase 10: the content security policy is final. Styles no longer need `'unsafe-inline'`, `data:` images and `blob:` workers are gone, and `frame-src` and `object-src` are `'none'` (a PDF opened in its own tab gets `object-src 'self'` so the browser can show it). The print area's rules moved into the theme stylesheet.
+- Phase 10: backups and the restore run on the VM with `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` as the postgres user, with no `docker exec`. Same markers, 7 dumps and the 02:00 timer.
+- Phase 10: security fixes in the pinned dependencies found by the CI scan: `pypdf` 6.21.2 to 6.21.4, `pyasn1` 0.6.4 to 0.6.5, and `certifi` to 2026.10.23.
+- Phase 10: SECURITY.md is rewritten around the requirement ID table. O3, O4 and D6 are closed, S1 is tuned and S4 (the pentest) stays with IT.
+- The env examples set `SITE_ID=PESCO` and leave `MFILES_CA_BUNDLE` unset, as DEPLOY.md says.
+
+- Gitea issue 1 (change C1): over target follows the VISUAL ticket hours, not the station timer. A packet is over when its ticket hours are above its work-order target; a packet with no ticket hours is not over. The PM hours tables, the "Packets over target" table, the KPI, the summary line, the CSV and the report PDF follow. The columns read "Timer h", "Ticket h", "Target h", "Ticket variance h", "Ticket h / target" and "Over target (tickets)", and the over table ends with "Over by (tickets)". The timer is still shown.
+- Gitea issue 24 (change C2): a Q.C. reject always needs a reason of at least 8 characters; an NCR number may go with it but no longer stands in for it. A packet rejected without an NCR number cannot be accepted, to complete or to another department, until Q.C. enters the NCR number (422 `ncr_required` "Enter the NCR number of the reject first."). The number is stored on the accepting inspection and in the log. The Q.C. bar shows the NCR field as required (`ncr_required` on the packet read). An NCR document added to the packet goes into section 5 of the data book.
+- Gitea issue 25 (change C3): a packet cannot be filed while its unit's ITP is not complete (precondition `itp_complete`, "Complete the unit's ITP first. Q.C. signs it off on the ITP page."). A unit with no ITP does not block. The close panel shows the reason under File.
+- Gitea issue 27 (change C4): prints go straight to the browser's print dialog from the page, with no new tab. Every print in the app, the ITP print included, goes through `frontend/src/lib/printPdf.ts`. A print that fails says "The print could not be made. Try again." Viewing a PDF still opens a tab. The stamped pages and the print log are unchanged.
+- Gitea issue 31 (change C5): filing is blocked, not warned, while VISUAL shows a work order open, on both routes. The feed now marks a VISUAL packet closed in VISUAL when it sees every work order closed or cancelled, and clears it when one shows open again ("Open again in VISUAL (observed)"); the packet moves from "Ready to close" to "Ready for data book" by itself. Clerical confirms only hand packets; "Job closed in VISUAL" is refused on a VISUAL packet. Precondition `closed_in_visual` replaces `vclosed_if_databook`. The second confirmation (`confirm_open_wos`, 409 `open_work_orders`) is gone.
+- Gitea issue 8 (change C6): the data book leaves out the packet history. Section 7 "Record history" is gone, so the book has six sections. The change-order table moved to a "Change order record" page at the end of section 1, only when the packet has change orders. The history stays on the packet page.
+- Gitea issue 33 (change C10): the Project Management screen and every `/api/pm/*` endpoint, the CSV and PDF exports included, are for PS-ProjectMgmt and Admin only. Anyone else gets 403 "Project Management only." and sees no PM entry; typing `/pm` says the screen is not for their role.
+- Gitea issue 36 (change C11): the Stall screen lists the packets assigned to the signed-in person, each at the station the supervisor picked, across stations (`GET /api/stall/mine`). Nobody picks a station there any more. Moving a welder is a re-assign by the supervisor. The stall's Mine no longer needs a station. With nothing assigned it says "Your supervisor assigns packets to you."
+- Deploying C1 to C11: short receipts recorded before the deploy have no approval, so a supervisor approves them before the next Q.C. accept to complete, or before filing a packet already complete. A Q.C. reject since the last accept that has no NCR number needs one at the next accept. Migration 0011 freezes the open stage of each packet in progress, in review or at Q.C. to the default list for its kind, so a department edit does not reach it; if the `checklist_templates` row is missing, such a stage reads its department's live list until it closes. Nothing else is backfilled.
 - Security fixes in the pinned dependencies, found by the new CI scan: `pypdf` 6.21.0 to 6.21.2 (GHSA-5hx5-vpf9-5wcv, a crafted PDF could reach the image parsers; 6.21.2 for GHSA-6c7f-9265-g8fw, GHSA-jr96-gvgh-j3r4 and GHSA-gmh7-3g9r-mjh5) and `certifi` 2026.7.22 to 2026.10.19 (PYSEC-2026-4320, a distrusted root removed). The image must be rebuilt for both to reach the stacks.
 - `POST /api/admin/ad/refresh` no longer runs the AD refresh in the request. It asks the worker for an `ad-reconcile` run and answers 202 `{requested, pending, job}`; `GET /api/admin/ad/reconcile` gives the latest report.
 - The storage quota alert is now mailed through the Notifications rules (to PS-Admins by default), with a "Cleared" message when usage drops back.

 ### Added
 
+- Phase 10: archive location (Gitea issue 7). With `ARCHIVE_ROOT` set, an Admin picks the archive folder under Admin, Storage, File locations. The folder must be under the root: `..`, absolute paths elsewhere and links that leave the root are refused, and nothing creates folders. Check writes, reads back and removes a probe file. Save runs the same check first. Each filing is copied to `<folder>/<project>/<unit>/<data book>-seal<id>/`: the sealed data book, the drawing pages, the packet documents, the unit's and project's Q.C. folder documents, the MTRs and a `manifest.json` with every file's sha256. The new `archive-copy` job runs every 15 minutes and right after each filing. A failed copy never blocks filing. It is retried after 5, 15 and 60 minutes, then hourly, and raises the critical `archive_failed` notification after 3 tries; "Retry now" asks for a run. Turning the archive on later also copies earlier filings. Nothing in the archive is overwritten or deleted. Every setting change, check and copy is audited. `packetstation doctor` checks the folder. Migration 0012 adds `archive_copies`.
+- Phase 10: a banner tells everyone when the server was updated ("Packet Station was updated. Reload to get the new version.") with a Reload button. It checks on focus, on return to the tab, on an event-stream reconnect and every 5 minutes. It never reloads by itself.
+- Phase 10: native VM install kit in `deploy/vm/` for production and test, each on its own Linux VM without Docker: systemd units for the app, the worker, the migration and a firewall that lets only NPM reach port 8000; a launcher that hands each unit only its own secrets; `install.sh` (PostgreSQL 16, ODBC Driver 18, the PESCO CA, the service user and folders) and `upgrade.sh` with rollback; `ps-run`, `ps-doctor`, env examples with explicit `VISUAL_SERVER` and `VISUAL_DATABASE`. DEPLOY.md has the steps, the NPM proxy hosts for the VMs and the archive NFS mount.
+- Phase 10: regression bench. The old build's 38 scenarios are mapped to Playwright specs in `tests/e2e/BENCH.md`; the missing ones are new specs on synthetic fixtures (111 Playwright tests, 4.5 minutes), and every test fails on a CSP violation.
+- Phase 10: GO-LIVE.md (date and feed boundary, groups, tablets, URL, cut-over, retiring M: as a read-only archive, production start, checklist, incident notes) and PAPER-FALLBACK.md (what each department does while the server is down and how paper is entered back).
+
+- Gitea issue 18 (change C7): the department supervisor approves every received short, one receipt at a time, with a signature ("Approve a received short"), after checking the part and its heat number against what the warehouse issued. A lead is not enough. The Materials tab lists each receipt with who received it and who approved it, and an Approve button for the supervisor. A packet cannot be accepted as complete, or filed, until every short is received and approved ("Every short must be received and approved by the supervisor first."). Accept and route to another department does not wait. `POST /api/packets/{id}/shorts/receipts/{receipt_id}/approve`; the packet read gains `shorts` and `shorts_unapproved`. Migration 0011 adds the append-only `short_approvals` table.
+- Gitea issue 23 (change C8): checklists per department. The Checklists screen (`/checklists`) lets a department supervisor edit their own department's checklist, and Admin any department's; a lead and Q.C. cannot. A department without its own list uses the default for its kind (weld or plain). A save needs a password session and the version it started from, and is audited (`checklists.dept_updated`). A stage keeps the list it had when work started (`packet_stages.checklist_template`, migration 0011), so a change reaches only stages not yet started. The Admin Checklists tab now edits department lists too. `GET /api/checklists`, `GET` and `PUT /api/checklists/{dept}`. The Q.C. check items are unchanged.
+- Gitea issue 32 (change C9): the Stamp check screen (`/stamp-check`) for Admin, Q.C. and Clerical, in a password session. `POST /api/stamp-verify` and `POST /api/stamp-verify/pdf`; the `/api/admin` paths stay as aliases with the same rule.
 - Phase 9: Admin completion, AD reconcile, integrity, notifications, backups. The Admin page gains eight tabs: Departments, Profiles, Checklists, Security, Access log, Who is in, Stamp check and Notifications. The tab list wraps into rows on a narrow screen.
 - Departments tab: every department with its AD groups (and whether each is in the OU) and its stations. Edit a department's name, turn it on or off, rename, reorder, add or hide stations. Stations are never deleted, since station limits and packets point at them. The code and the short name cannot change. "New department" adds a shop department with its stations and shows the three AD groups IT must create (`PS-<code>-<short name>-Worker`, `-Lead`, `-Supervisor`) before it is saved. Only shop departments can be added; the support departments are fixed.
 - Profiles tab: a person's welder stamp (1 to 12 letters, numbers or dashes, unique), whether their profile is active, and their station limits per department. An inactive profile drops out of the welder picker and the worker filter; it changes nothing the person may do. A CSV import by employee ID (columns `employee_id`, `welder_stamp`, `active`, `stations`; an empty cell leaves a value, `-` clears it; the `stations` cell is the person's whole list) shows a preview with every change and every error, and applies only when the preview has no errors, in one go. The Directory flags panel lists active users with no employee ID and employee IDs shared by more than one account.

-People can sign in, set up projects and units, make hand drafts, attach a drawing, and send a packet to the warehouse, a department or Q.C. The worker reads released work orders from VISUAL on a schedule, makes and updates drafts, opens change orders on packets already in the shop, looks drawings up in M-Files and attaches them at the rev VISUAL calls. Clerical sees it all on the From VISUAL panel and in the Flagged and Changes to approve columns; Admin sets the feed up on the Feed tab. Warehouse works its task board (waiting, being pulled, on hold, pulled, released), pulls parts line by line with heat numbers, shorts, receipts and MTRs, and releases to the supervisor once every line is pulled or short and every pulled line has a heat. A supervisor assigns the packet to a station and a welder, the welder starts the clock, marks welds on the drawing, places the heat table, finishes the checklist and submits with a PIN signature, and the supervisor sends it to Q.C. or routes it to another department with the marks carried. Department supervisors verify change orders with a signature. Q.C. inspects the packet on its own tab (the check items, a visual result per weld, NDE, hardness, notes), accepts it to the data book, to Shipping or on to another department with a PIN signature, or rejects it back to the supervisor with a reason or an NCR number. Q.C. keeps project folders of documents per project and unit (ITP, WPS / PQR, procedures, certificates) where a new revision supersedes the old one and nothing is deleted, adds reports to a packet for the data book and takes them out with a reason, and works each unit's digital ITP from the Q.C. template through line initials, N/A, rejects with NCR numbers, section block signatures and a sign-off. Open hold and witness points show as a warning on the unit's packets. Clerical confirms the job closed in VISUAL (the feed's closed state and any open work orders shown beside it) and files the packet with a signature. Filing seals the packet with an HMAC and builds the manufacturing data book on the server, stored on the seal; filing past open work orders needs a second confirmation. IT can reopen a filed packet with a reason and a signature, which keeps the broken seal and its data book. Anyone who can open a packet can view or download the data book, the job traveler with the work order QR codes, the ITP PDF and the traceability CSV, and print a stamped copy of the traveler, the drawings with the heat or weld map, the drawings without markup, the VOID sheets, the data book or any document. Every copy carries a stamp signed with the seal key, and every print and export is logged. The ITP sign-off files the signed ITP PDF. An Admin manages departments and stations, welder stamps and station limits (one at a time or from a CSV), the checklists, the session and lockout settings, and who gets which email. The worker reconciles users with AD every night, re-reads each signed-in person's groups every 15 minutes, checks seals, files and the audit chain every night, and checks that the nightly backup ran. Problems and events reach people by email through app-03. Every packet write goes through the server policy. The old build on `M:\Production\Packet Station` stays the live system until go-live. The new system starts empty; nothing is migrated from M:.

Filing seals the packet with an HMAC and builds the manufacturing data book on the server, stored on the seal.

A print goes straight to the browser's print dialog. Every copy carries a stamp signed with the seal key, and every print and export is logged. Admin, Q.C. and Clerical check a copy's stamp on the Stamp check screen. Project Management and Admin read the PM reports. The ITP sign-off files the signed ITP PDF. Each department supervisor edits their department's checklist on the Checklists screen; a stage keeps the list it started with.

Problems and events reach people by email through app-03. Every packet write goes through the server policy. The old build on `M:\Production\Packet Station` stays the live system until go-live. The new system starts empty; nothing is migrated from M:.

 Phase 9 adds, under `/api/admin`: `departments` (list, `PATCH /departments/{code}`, `POST /departments`), `PATCH /users/{id}/profile`, `POST /users/import` (CSV preview and apply), `checklists`, `security/settings`, `security/alerts`, `security/integrity`, `access-log` and `access-log.csv`, `presence`, `stamp-verify` and `stamp-verify/pdf`, `directory-flags`, `ad/reconcile`, and `notifications` (rules, group search, test send, sent log). `POST /api/admin/ad/refresh` now asks the worker for an `ad-reconcile` run and answers 202. Any signed-in person reads `GET /api/account/notifications`, and opts out of an event type with `PUT /api/account/notifications/{event_type}` (password session; security events cannot be turned off). The Admin page gains the tabs Departments, Profiles, Checklists, Security, Access log, Who is in, Stamp check and Notifications, and Account settings gains a Notifications section. The worker gains six jobs: `ad-reconcile` (01:30), `session-refresh` (every 15 minutes), `integrity` (04:00), `backup-check` (07:15), `notify-send` (every minute) and `notify-digest` (every 5 minutes).

The API gains `GET /api/checklists`, `GET` and `PUT /api/checklists/{dept}`, `POST /api/stamp-verify` and `POST /api/stamp-verify/pdf` (the `/api/admin` paths stay as aliases), `GET /api/stall/mine` (the Stall screen; the station picker is gone) and `POST /api/packets/{id}/shorts/receipts/{receipt_id}/approve`. The Q.C. accepts take `ncr`, and the packet read gains `ncr_required`, `shorts` and `shorts_unapproved`. Every `/api/pm/*` endpoint is for PS-ProjectMgmt and Admin only. Every print goes through `frontend/src/lib/printPdf.ts`. The data book has six sections. Migration 0011 adds `short_approvals` and `packet_stages.checklist_template`. See [docs/POLICY.md](docs/POLICY.md) for the rules and [docs/SCHEMA.md](docs/SCHEMA.md), "Seth's changes", for the schema.

+# Install a Packet Station release on this VM and switch to it. Run by Spencer as root.
+# Installed as /usr/local/sbin/ps-upgrade by deploy/vm/install.sh.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ps-upgrade RELEASE.tar.gz [--start] [--no-backup] [--no-doctor]
+#   ps-upgrade --rollback
+#
+# RELEASE.tar.gz comes from deploy/vm/make-release.sh. When RELEASE.tar.gz.sha256 lies next to it,
+# the archive is checked against it first.
+#
+# Steps:
+#   1. Unpack into /opt/packetstation/<build> and build its venv there: public pins from PyPI
+#      (server/requirements.txt), visualkit and mfileskit from the Gitea index with --index-url
+#      (server/requirements-pesco.txt), then the package itself with --no-deps; pip check.
+#      A release folder that is already complete is reused.
+#   2. A backup (ps-backup) when the database exists, unless --no-backup.
+#   3. Stop the app and the worker, point /opt/packetstation/current at the new release
+#      (previous keeps the old one), install its units and commands (install.sh --files-only).
+#   4. Run the migrations (restart packetstation-migrate.service). On failure: current goes back,
+#      the services stay stopped, and the restore command is printed.
+#   5. Start again whichever of the app and the worker ran before. A first install starts nothing
+#      unless --start: on production the first start is Spencer's approval of the VISUAL polling.
+#   6. Wait for /healthz, run ps-doctor (unless --no-doctor) and keep the newest 3 releases.
+#
+# --rollback points current back at previous and restarts what ran. Migrations are not undone:
+# roll back only to a release whose code works with the schema now in the database.
+#

 ## Known issue: vsql serves a weak self-signed certificate (found 2026-10-18)
 
-`vsql.pesco.com\DEV` serves TLS (`VISUAL_ENCRYPT=trust` connects), but with `VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes` OpenSSL in the image refuses it with "EE certificate key too weak": the server certificate's RSA key is under 2048 bits, which is what SQL Server's auto-generated self-signed certificate looks like. IT needs to issue vsql a 2048-bit, SHA-256 certificate from PESCO-PSYLOCKE-CA with `vsql.pesco.com` in the subject alternative names, install it on the DEV and production instances in SQL Server Configuration Manager and restart them. The image then needs the PESCO CA in its OpenSSL trust store for the ODBC driver (the entrypoint can concatenate the system bundle and /etc/ssl/pesco/ca.pem into /tmp and export `SSL_CERT_FILE`), and the stacks switch to `VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes`. Tracked as Gitea issue 5.
-
-### Installing the vsql certificate
-
-`scripts/Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1` does the request, the checks and the binding. Spencer runs it on the SQL Server host, in an elevated PowerShell, as an account that may enroll from the WebServer template. Every step there is a real change, so preview first. Copy only the script to `C:\ProgramData\PacketStation\` and work from there.
-
-1. Preflight. Nothing changes. Check the instance names, the service accounts, the INF and the list of steps.
-
-   ```powershell
-   cd C:\ProgramData\PacketStation
-   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -Instances DEV -WhatIf
-   ```
-
-2. DEV first. This enrolls, validates, grants the DEV service account read on the key, saves a snapshot and binds DEV. Production is untouched.
-
-   ```powershell
-   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -Instances DEV
-   ```
-
-   If the CA holds the request as pending, the script stops with the request id. Issue it on the CA (certsrv.msc, Pending Requests), then run the `certreq -retrieve` line it printed and continue with `-CerFile <that .cer> -Instances DEV`. If validation fails, nothing is bound. The usual cause is a template that forces a Key Storage Provider.
-
-3. Restart DEV and check the log. `Restart-Service -Name 'MSSQL$DEV' -Force`, then start `SQLAgent$DEV` again if it ran. Or rerun with `-Thumbprint <thumbprint> -Instances DEV -RestartInstances`, which leaves the binding alone and does both. The instance's ERRORLOG should read `The certificate [Cn = vsql.pesco.com] was successfully loaded for encryption`. If the instance does not start, roll back (step 6).
-
-4. Check from docker-1. Export the certificate (`Export-Certificate -Cert Cert:\LocalMachine\My\<thumbprint> -FilePath vsql.cer`) and copy it to docker-1. OpenSSL cannot speak TDS, so `openssl s_client` does not work against SQL Server. Verify the file at the image's security level instead:
-
-   ```bash
-   openssl x509 -inform DER -in vsql.cer -out vsql.pem
-   openssl x509 -in vsql.pem -noout -subject -dates -ext subjectAltName,keyUsage,extendedKeyUsage
-   openssl verify -auth_level 2 -purpose sslserver -CAfile ~/packetstation/test/ca/pesco-ca.pem vsql.pem
-   ```
-
-   Then prove the live connection with the doctor and `VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes`. The image does not yet add the PESCO CA to OpenSSL's trust store for the ODBC driver (the issue 5 follow-up), so this one-off check builds a bundle in `/tmp`. It skips the entrypoint, so the M-Files password line fails. Read the VISUAL line.
-
-   ```bash
-   docker compose -p packetstation-test --env-file ~/packetstation/test/stack.env \
-     -f deploy/compose.yaml -f deploy/compose.proxy.yaml run --rm --no-deps \
-     -e VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes --entrypoint sh app -c \
-     'cat /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/pesco/ca.pem > /tmp/ca.pem && SSL_CERT_FILE=/tmp/ca.pem exec packetstation doctor'
-   ```
-
-   That the ODBC driver honours `SSL_CERT_FILE` is untested. If the VISUAL line fails with an issuer error while `openssl verify` passed, the trust step is the gap, not the server.
-
-5. Production, off-hours. Production (`vsql`, `PESCOINC`) is the default instance, `MSSQLSERVER`. Bind the same certificate. VISUAL users lose their connection during the restart.
-
-   ```powershell
-   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -Thumbprint <thumbprint> -Instances MSSQLSERVER -WhatIf
-   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -Thumbprint <thumbprint> -Instances MSSQLSERVER -RestartInstances
-   ```
-
-   Check the ERRORLOG line again. The production stack's own doctor run is Spencer's, with its own approval.
-
-6. Rollback. Each deployment saved `deploy-<time>.json` in `C:\ProgramData\PacketStation\vsql-cert`. `-Rollback` restores the newest one not yet rolled back. It restores each instance on its own, reads each value back and lists any failure. If a restart fails, fix the cause and run the same command again: it retries only the instances not yet restored or restarted, and starts SQL Server Agent if it ran before the failed attempt. Preview it, then run it:
-
-   ```powershell
-   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -Rollback -Instances DEV -WhatIf
-   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Request-VsqlServerCertificate.ps1 -Rollback -Instances DEV -RestartInstances
-   ```
-
-   `-Snapshot deploy-<time>.json` restores a specific one. The rollback leaves the certificate and the key grant in place. Removing them is a manual step once nothing is bound to them.
+`vsql.pesco.com\DEV` serves TLS (`VISUAL_ENCRYPT=trust` connects), but with `VISUAL_ENCRYPT=yes` OpenSSL in the image refuses it with "EE certificate key too weak": the server certificate's RSA key is under 2048 bits, which is what SQL Server's auto-generated self-signed certificate looks like.

Tracked as Gitea issue 5. IT issues and binds the certificate by hand; the repo has no script for it.
 
 ## Doctor
 
-`packetstation doctor` proves a host and a stack are ready. Run it with `compose run`, not `compose exec`: the entrypoint exports MFILES_PASSWORD from its secret file, and `exec` skips the entrypoint, so the M-Files password check fails under `exec` even though the running worker has it.

-Host scripts in `scripts/backup/`, run by root from a systemd timer. They run outside the app, so a broken app still backs up. [scripts/backup/README.md](../scripts/backup/README.md) has the same steps with more detail.
+Production and test each run natively on their own Linux VM, without Docker (Spencer, 2026-10-27, Gitea issue 37). docker-1 keeps CI only. The test VM is built first from the same steps, so the install, the backups, the restore and the doctor are rehearsed before production. The docker-1 test stack keeps running until the test VM is ready (see "Retiring the docker-1 test stack").
 
-| File | Installed as |
+The kit is in `deploy/vm/`. Spencer runs everything that needs root. Nothing in it starts the worker by itself: on production, Spencer's first start of the worker is the approval of the scheduled VISUAL polling.
+
+### What IT provides (open on issue 37)
+
+- One VM per stack. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is recommended: it ships Python 3.12, which the server needs (`requires-python >= 3.12`, pins resolved for 3.12). Debian 12 ships Python 3.11, so on Debian 12 a Python 3.12 has to be provided separately and passed to `ps-upgrade` as `PYTHON=/path/to/python3.12`. `install.sh` supports both and refuses anything else. Size: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 40 GB disk is a starting point (the app and the worker are capped at 1 GB each; the test stack's assets were 125 MB after a month of testing).
+- A fixed LAN address per VM. NPM forwards to it.
+- Outbound from the VM: the OS mirrors, `apt.postgresql.org`, `packages.microsoft.com`, `www.postgresql.org` (the PGDG key), `pypi.org` and `files.pythonhosted.org`, `gt.pescoinc.biz` (the Python index), and at run time vsql (1433, plus UDP 1434 for the named DEV instance), `mfiles.pescoinc.biz` 443, DC-02 and PDC-1 636, `app-03.pesco.com` 25, the QNAP (NFS 2049).
+- Inbound: SSH for Spencer, and port 8000 from docker-1 (192.168.101.12) only. The VM enforces the second itself.
+- PBS backs the VM up like any other, at 03:00.
+
+### Layout on a VM
+
+| Path | Owner, mode | What |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/opt/packetstation/<build>/` | root, 0755 | One release: the source, `BUILD`, `static/` (the built frontend) and `venv/`. Read-only to the services. |
+| `/opt/packetstation/current`, `previous` | root | Symlinks to the running and the last release. The units start `current/deploy/vm/ps-launch.sh`. |
+| `/etc/packetstation/packetstation.env` | root:packetstation 0640 | Settings, no secrets. From `deploy/vm/prod.env.example` or `test.env.example`. |
+| `/etc/packetstation/secrets/` | root:packetstation 0750, files 0440 | One file per secret (table below). The services get them as systemd credentials and cannot open the folder. |
+| `/etc/packetstation/ca/pesco-ca.pem` | root, 0644 | The PESCO CA chain for `LDAP_CA_BUNDLE` and `SMTP_CA_BUNDLE`. Also in the system trust store, which the ODBC driver uses. |
+| `/etc/packetstation/backup.conf`, `packetstation.nft` | root, 0644 | The backup stack line; the firewall table (written by `install.sh`). |
+| `/var/lib/packetstation/assets/` | packetstation, 0750 | `ASSETS_DIR`, the stored files. |
+| `/var/backups/packetstation/` | root:packetstation 0750 | `BACKUP_DIR`, the nightly dumps and markers. |
+| `/mnt/packetstation-archive/` | root, 0755 until mounted | `ARCHIVE_ROOT`, the QNAP NFS share. |
+| `/usr/local/sbin/ps-run`, `ps-doctor`, `ps-upgrade`, `ps-backup`, `ps-restore` | root, 0755 | The commands below. |
+
+The service user is `packetstation`, uid and gid 10001: the image's uid, so the NFS share's rights and the old volume's file owners carry over. PostgreSQL 16 from the PGDG repository listens on the local socket only (`listen_addresses = ''`, server time zone UTC, `conf.d/packetstation.conf`). `pg_hba.conf` gets one block, before Debian's peer line, that lets `ps_app` and `ps_migrate` log in to `packetstation` on the socket with their passwords (scram-sha-256). `install.sh` creates the two roles and the database as `deploy/postgres/initdb` does (owner `ps_migrate`, UTF8, locale `en_US.UTF-8`, `template0`, CONNECT and TEMPORARY for `ps_app`, schema `public` owned by `ps_migrate`). The env file sets `PG_HOST=/var/run/postgresql`.
+
+| Secret file | Made by | Given to |
+|---|---|---|
+| `postgres_migrate_password` | `install.sh --generate-secrets` | migrate |
+| `postgres_app_password` | `install.sh --generate-secrets` | migrate, app, worker |
+| `session_key` | `install.sh --generate-secrets` | app |
+| `seal_key` | `install.sh --generate-secrets` | app, worker |
+| `visualkit_password` | Spencer | worker |
+| `mfileskit_password` | Spencer | worker (`ps-launch.sh` exports `MFILES_PASSWORD`) |
+| `ldap_bind_password` | Spencer | app, worker |
+
+There is no PostgreSQL superuser password on a VM: root reaches the `postgres` OS user, which PostgreSQL trusts on the socket. `ps-run` hands every secret file present to the command it runs.
+
+### The units
+
+| Unit | What |
 |---|---|
-| `ps-backup.sh` | `/usr/local/sbin/ps-backup.sh` (root, 0755) |
-| `ps-restore.sh` | `/usr/local/sbin/ps-restore.sh` (root, 0755) |
-| `backup.conf.example` | `/etc/packetstation/backup.conf` (root, 0644) |
-| `packetstation-backup.service` | `/etc/systemd/system/` (root, 0644) |
-| `packetstation-backup.timer` | `/etc/systemd/system/` (root, 0644) |
+| `packetstation-migrate.service` | Oneshot, `RemainAfterExit`: `packetstation migrate` as `ps_migrate`. Pulled in by the app and the worker (`Requires=`), so neither starts on a failed migration. `ps-upgrade` restarts it. |
+| `packetstation-app.service` | `packetstation app`, uvicorn on port 8000. Refuses to start without the firewall table. `Restart=on-failure`, `MemoryMax=1G`. |
+| `packetstation-worker.service` | `packetstation worker`. Heartbeat in `/run/packetstation/worker.beat`. `Restart=on-failure`, `MemoryMax=1G`. |
+| `packetstation-firewall.service` | Loads `/etc/packetstation/packetstation.nft`: its own table `inet packetstation`, which lets only `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST` (NPM) and the VM itself reach port 8000. Nothing else on the VM is filtered by it. |
+| `packetstation-backup.service`, `.timer` | `ps-backup` at 02:00 America/Denver. |
 
-`backup.conf` lists the stacks, one per line: name, container (or `project:<compose project>`), database, folder.
+The app, the worker and migrate run as `packetstation` with `EnvironmentFile=/etc/packetstation/packetstation.env` and a sandbox: `ProtectSystem=strict` (writable only `/var/lib/packetstation/assets` and `/mnt/packetstation-archive`, the latter optional so the app starts without the share), `ProtectHome`, `PrivateTmp`, `PrivateDevices`, `NoNewPrivileges`, no capabilities, `InaccessiblePaths=/etc/packetstation/secrets`, `SystemCallFilter=@system-service`, the address families `AF_UNIX AF_INET AF_INET6 AF_NETLINK`, and the kernel protections. `systemd-analyze security` rates the app 1.5 ("OK"). `MemoryDenyWriteExecute` is left off: pypdfium2 uses ctypes, whose callbacks may need writable executable memory. Try it on the test VM after a filing and a print pass before turning it on.
 
-```
-test     project:packetstation-test   packetstation  /home/spencerm/packetstation/test/backups
-#prod    project:packetstation        packetstation  /var/backups/packetstation/prod
-```
+Each unit loads only its own secrets with `LoadCredential=`, as compose did with secrets: the app never gets the VISUAL or M-Files password, and migrate gets only the two database passwords. `deploy/vm/ps-launch.sh` (the native counterpart of `docker/entrypoint.sh`) points each `*_FILE` setting at the credential, exports `MFILES_PASSWORD` from its file, and sets `STATIC_DIR` and `PS_BUILD` from the release, `WORKER_BEAT_FILE`, `TZ=UTC` and `LANG=C.UTF-8`. Those five are ignored in the env file.
 
-The production line stays commented out until the production stack runs (phase 10). Until then it would fail every night.
+Logs go to the journal: `journalctl -u packetstation-app -u packetstation-worker -f`.
 
-Where the dumps go:
+### Commands on a VM
 
-- Test stack: `/home/spencerm/packetstation/test/backups`, owned by spencerm (the script gives new files the folder's owner and group). The test `stack.env` sets `BACKUP_DIR` to this path.
-- Production: `/var/backups/packetstation/prod`, `root:10001` 0750. The production `stack.env` sets `BACKUP_DIR=/var/backups/packetstation/prod`.
+| Command (as root) | What |
+|---|---|
+| `ps-doctor [--skip visual,mfiles,ldap,smtp,archive]` | `packetstation doctor`, run the way the services run. |
+| `ps-run <packetstation command>` | Any `packetstation` command as the service user, with the env file, the secrets as credentials and the sandbox, through `systemd-run`. For example `ps-run job run visual-feed`, `ps-run ad-groups --list`, `ps-run healthcheck worker`, `ps-run version`. |
+| `ps-upgrade RELEASE.tar.gz [--start] [--no-backup] [--no-doctor]` | Install a release and switch to it (below). |
+| `ps-upgrade --rollback` | Back to the previous release. |
+| `ps-backup`, `ps-restore` | "Backups on a VM", "Restore on a VM". |
 
-The worker mounts the stack's folder read-only at `/backups`. Its `backup-check` job (07:15) only lists the folder, reads the dumps' sizes and times, and reads the markers.
+On production the doctor's VISUAL check connects to VISUAL production, read-only, as `visualkit_ro`. Use `--skip visual` before the go-live approval.
 
-What a run does, per stack:
+### Release archives
 
-1. Finds the stack's running postgres container (by compose labels for `project:`). None or two is a failure.
-2. `docker exec <pg> pg_dump -U postgres -d packetstation -Fc` over the local socket, which the postgres image trusts. No password is read or passed. Written under a temporary name, `.ps-<stamp>.partial`.
-3. `pg_dumpall --globals-only --no-role-passwords`: the roles without their password hashes. The role passwords are in the stack secrets.
-4. `pg_restore --list` with the container's own pg_restore must list at least one entry. Then the files are renamed to `ps-<UTC yyyymmddThhmmssZ>.dump` and `.globals.sql`, mode 0600.
-5. Keeps the newest 7 (`KEEP=7` in the unit, `--keep N`), with their globals files.
-6. Writes `last-success` or `last-failure` (`<ISO UTC time> <dump name>`, plus the reason on failure), mode 0644. A failed run leaves no partial file.
+A VM never builds the frontend and never runs Docker. `deploy/vm/make-release.sh` runs on a build host as a normal user, in a git checkout, and writes `packetstation-<build>.tar.gz` with a `.sha256`: the source of one commit (`pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, `server/`, `deploy/`, `scripts/`, `docs/`, with LF line endings), `BUILD`, and `static/`. Python packages are not in it.
 
-Each stack runs on its own, so one failing does not stop the next. Exit 1 if any stack failed, 2 for a usage or config error. `flock` keeps two runs from overlapping.
+- `--image gt.pescoinc.biz/spencerm/packetstation:sha-<sha>` (on docker-1): copies `/app/static` out of the CI-tested image with `docker create` and `docker cp` (nothing runs) and takes the commit from the image's build label. The release is then the tested commit with the tested frontend. This is the normal way.
+- `--npm [--ref REF]` (on a PC with Node): builds the frontend with `npm ci` and `npm run build` from the same commit.
 
-The unit is `Type=oneshot` as root, `Nice=10`, `IOSchedulingClass=idle`, `TimeoutStartSec=1h`, with `NoNewPrivileges`, `PrivateTmp` and `ProtectSystem=full` (no `ProtectHome`, so it can write the test folder under `/home`). The timer is `OnCalendar=*-*-* 02:00:00 America/Denver` with `Persistent=true`: 02:00 Denver time all year, an hour before the 03:00 PBS run, so PBS captures the fresh dumps. A missed run runs at the next boot.
+`ps-upgrade` builds the venv on the VM, as the image does: `server/requirements.txt` from PyPI with `--index-url https://pypi.org/simple/`, `server/requirements-pesco.txt` from the Gitea index with `--index-url` (never `--extra-index-url`), then the package with `--no-deps`, then `pip check`. Host pip settings are ignored (`PIP_CONFIG_FILE=/dev/null`).
 
-### Install (Spencer, with sudo, on docker-1)
+### First install (Spencer, on a new VM)
 
-After the phase 9 tree is synced to `~/packetstation/repo`:
+The test VM first. `<build>` is the release, for example `sha-<commit>`.
+
+1. On docker-1, in a git checkout of the repository that has the commit (for example a clone of `gt.pescoinc.biz/spencerm/PacketStation`):
+
+   ```bash
+   deploy/vm/make-release.sh --image gt.pescoinc.biz/spencerm/packetstation:sha-<sha> --out ~/releases
+   ```
+
+2. Copy `~/releases/packetstation-<build>.tar.gz`, its `.sha256` and the PESCO CA bundle to the VM. The bundle comes from `scripts/Export-PescoCaBundle.ps1 -NoCopy` (or `-Remote` with the VM's path), or from `~/packetstation/test/ca/pesco-ca.pem` on docker-1.
+
+3. On the VM, unpack and run the install. It installs the packages, makes the user, folders, env file, CA, the four internal secrets, PostgreSQL's settings, roles and database, the units, the commands, the backup timer and the firewall:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd ~ && sha256sum -c packetstation-<build>.tar.gz.sha256
+   tar -xzf packetstation-<build>.tar.gz
+   sudo bash ./packetstation-<build>/deploy/vm/install.sh --stack test --ca-bundle ~/pesco-ca.pem --generate-secrets
+   ```
+
+   For production, `--stack prod`. If the VM is to carry on the docker-1 test stack's data, copy that stack's `seal_key` and `session_key` into `/etc/packetstation/secrets/` before this step instead of generating them: filed packets are sealed with the seal key.
+
+4. Put the three outside secrets in place, without echo, then run the install again so it checks them and sets their owner and mode:
+
+   ```bash
+   for s in visualkit_password mfileskit_password ldap_bind_password; do
+     sudo bash -c 'umask 077; read -rsp "$1: " v; echo; printf %s "$v" > "/etc/packetstation/secrets/$1"' _ "$s"
+   done
+   sudo bash ./packetstation-<build>/deploy/vm/install.sh --skip-packages
+   ```
+
+5. Read `/etc/packetstation/packetstation.env` through (`sudoedit`). Check `STACK`, `PUBLIC_URL`, `VISUAL_SERVER` and `VISUAL_DATABASE` (test: `'vsql.pesco.com\DEV'` and `PESCOINCDEV`; production: `vsql.pesco.com` and `PESCOINC`), `NOTIFY_DRY_RUN` (test `true`), and `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST=192.168.101.12`. After changing `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST`, run `install.sh --files-only` to rewrite the firewall table.
+
+6. Install the release. It builds the venv, runs the migrations and the doctor, and starts nothing on a first install:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo ps-upgrade ~/packetstation-<build>.tar.gz
+   ```
+
+7. Run the doctor until it is clean (on production with `--skip visual` until the approval):
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo ps-doctor
+   ```
+
+8. The archive share, when the QNAP export exists ("Archive NFS mount").
+
+9. Start. On production this is the approval of the scheduled VISUAL polling:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl enable --now packetstation-app packetstation-worker
+   systemctl status packetstation-app packetstation-worker --no-pager
+   curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8000/healthz
+   ```
+
+10. Point the NPM proxy host at the VM ("NPM proxy host for the VMs") and run its checks.
+
+11. Backups: `sudo systemctl start packetstation-backup.service`, then `sudo ls -la /var/backups/packetstation`. Then rehearse a restore ("Restore on a VM").
+
+On Ubuntu with `ufw` turned on, ufw also has to let docker-1 in: `sudo ufw allow from 192.168.101.12 to any port 8000 proto tcp`. The Packet Station table only narrows port 8000 further; it never opens anything ufw blocks.
+
+### Upgrades
+
+Build the archive for the new commit (step 1), copy it over (step 2), then:
+
+```bash
+sudo ps-upgrade ~/packetstation-<build>.tar.gz
+```
+
+In order: check the `.sha256` when it lies next to the archive, unpack into `/opt/packetstation/<build>` and build its venv (an already complete release folder is reused), take a backup with `ps-backup`, stop the app and the worker, point `current` at the new release (`previous` keeps the old), install its units and commands (`install.sh --files-only`), run the migrations, start again whichever of the two ran before, wait for `/healthz`, run the doctor, and keep the newest three releases. A short downtime window, as with a new image.
+
+If the migrations fail, `current` goes back to the old release, the app and the worker stay stopped, and the restore command for the backup taken a minute earlier is printed. Read `journalctl -u packetstation-migrate`.
+
+`sudo ps-upgrade --rollback` points `current` back at `previous` and restarts what ran. It does not undo migrations: roll back only to a release whose code works with the schema in the database, or restore the backup.
+
+Open screens see the build change and offer a reload (the version banner).
+
+### NPM proxy host for the VMs
+
+NPM stays on docker-1 and keeps the certificates. The DNS names keep pointing at docker-1 (192.168.101.12). Only the forward target of each proxy host changes, to its VM over the LAN:
+
+| | Production | Test |
+|---|---|---|
+| Domain name | `packetstation.pescoinc.biz` | `packetstation-test.pescoinc.biz` |
+| Scheme | `http` | `http` |
+| Forward hostname / IP | the production VM's address | the test VM's address |
+| Forward port | `8000` | `8000` |
+| `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST` on the VM | `192.168.101.12` | `192.168.101.12` |
+
+Everything else is as before (`deploy/npm-proxy-host.md`): Cache assets off, Block common exploits on, Websockets off, no access list; the PESCO certificate, Force SSL on, HTTP/2 on, NPM HSTS off (the app sends `Strict-Transport-Security` itself; two headers would conflict); and the same Advanced block, unchanged:
+
+```nginx
+client_max_body_size 30m;
+
+location /api/events {
+    proxy_pass $forward_scheme://$server:$port;
+    proxy_http_version 1.1;
+    proxy_set_header Connection "";
+    proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    proxy_buffering off;
+    proxy_cache off;
+    proxy_read_timeout 3600s;
+    proxy_send_timeout 3600s;
+}
+```
+
+With a fixed VM address the forward target can be the address itself; the "never an IP" rule was for container addresses, which change. `$server` keeps the events location on the same target as the rest of the host.
+
+Trust: NPM's container reaches the VM through docker-1's own address, so the VM sees every proxied request from 192.168.101.12. `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST=192.168.101.12` makes the app trust `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Forwarded-Proto` from that address only (`proxy.py` resolves an address literal to itself; no server change was needed), and the firewall table lets only that address reach port 8000. Other hosts on the LAN cannot reach the app directly, and so cannot fake a client address for the sign-in rate limit. Traffic from NPM to the VM is plain HTTP on the LAN; TLS to the VM is still open on issue 37.
+
+Check after switching: the four checks in `deploy/npm-proxy-host.md`, plus from another LAN PC `curl -m 5 http://<vm>:8000/healthz` must time out (the firewall), and the Admin page's access log shows the real client addresses, not 192.168.101.12.
+
+### Archive NFS mount
+
+The archive share (Gitea issue 7) lives on the QNAP. Spencer creates the NFS export with read and write for the VMs' addresses and makes the share's folder owned by uid 10001 and gid 10001 (or maps the VM's uid 10001 to an owner with write rights). Root squash on is fine: only `packetstation` writes there.
+
+1. `nfs-common` is installed by `install.sh`. Add one line to `/etc/fstab` (the QNAP's name and export path from IT):
+
+   ```
+   <qnap>:/<export>  /mnt/packetstation-archive  nfs4  rw,soft,timeo=150,retrans=3,noatime,nosuid,nodev,noexec,_netdev,nofail  0  0
+   ```
+
+   `soft`: an unreachable QNAP makes a copy fail after about a minute instead of hanging the worker for good. The archive job writes each file to a temporary name, fsyncs and renames it, so a failed write shows up as a failed copy and is tried again with backoff. Filing never waits on it. `nofail` lets the VM boot without the QNAP.
+
+2. Mount it and make the archive folder as the service user:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo mount /mnt/packetstation-archive
+   sudo setpriv --reuid=packetstation --regid=packetstation --init-groups mkdir /mnt/packetstation-archive/packets
+   ```
+
+3. Set `ARCHIVE_ROOT=/mnt/packetstation-archive` in the env file (uncomment the line) and restart: `sudo systemctl restart packetstation-app packetstation-worker`.
+
+4. On the Admin page, File locations, enter `packets`, press Check, then Save. `sudo ps-doctor` reports `archive` PASS from then on.
+
+While the share is not mounted, the mount point is root's and read-only to `packetstation`, and `packets` does not exist under it, so nothing is written to the VM's own disk and the check fails with a plain message. The units list the mount point as an optional writable path, so the app and the worker start without it.
+
+### Retiring the docker-1 test stack
+
+The docker-1 test stack keeps running until the test VM passes its doctor, the NPM switch, a backup and a restore rehearsal. To carry its data over instead of starting empty: take a dump with the backup already installed on docker-1, tar the assets volume as in the 2026-10-21 rehearsal, copy both and the `seal_key` and `session_key` to the VM, and restore with `ps-restore` ("Restore on a VM"). Then on docker-1: stop the stack (`docker compose -p packetstation-test ... down`, keeping its volumes until the VM has run for a while), and remove its line from docker-1's `/etc/packetstation/backup.conf`. docker-1 keeps the old `ps-backup.sh` and `ps-restore.sh` it has installed; the versions in the repo are the VM ones and do not run there.
+
+## Backups on a VM
+
+`scripts/backup/ps-backup.sh` (installed as `/usr/local/sbin/ps-backup`) runs from `packetstation-backup.timer`, as root, outside the app, so a broken app still backs up. [scripts/backup/README.md](../scripts/backup/README.md) has the file list.
+
+- Timer `OnCalendar=*-*-* 02:00:00 America/Denver`, `Persistent=true`: 02:00 Denver time all year, an hour before the 03:00 PBS run, so PBS captures the fresh dumps. A missed run runs at the next boot. `install.sh` enables it.
+- `/etc/packetstation/backup.conf`: one line, `name database folder`, for example `prod packetstation /var/backups/packetstation`. `install.sh` writes it.
+- `pg_dump -d packetstation -Fc` and `pg_dumpall --globals-only --no-role-passwords` run as the `postgres` OS user (`setpriv`, no PAM) on the local socket. No password is read or passed. Root writes the output under a temporary name, `pg_restore --list` must list at least one entry, then the files are renamed to `ps-<UTC yyyymmddThhmmssZ>.dump` and `.globals.sql`, mode 0600.
+- The newest 7 are kept (`KEEP=7` in the unit, `--keep N`), with their globals files. `last-success` or `last-failure` (`<ISO UTC time> <dump name>`, plus the reason on failure), mode 0644, owner and group taken from the folder (root:packetstation 0750). The worker's `backup-check` job (07:15) reads them through `BACKUP_DIR=/var/backups/packetstation`. A failed run leaves no partial file. `flock` keeps two runs apart. Exit 1 on a failure, 2 on a usage or config error.
+- The unit runs with `Nice=10`, `IOSchedulingClass=idle`, `TimeoutStartSec=1h`, `ProtectSystem=strict` (writable only `/var/backups/packetstation`), `ProtectHome`, `PrivateTmp`, `NoNewPrivileges`, and only the capabilities to switch user and set owners.
+- `ps-upgrade` takes a backup before every upgrade.
+
+What the dump does not hold, and what covers it:
+
+| What | Where | Covered by |
+|---|---|---|
+| Stored files | `/var/lib/packetstation/assets` | PBS (the VM). Restore with a PBS file-level restore and `ps-restore --assets`. |
+| Settings, secrets, CA | `/etc/packetstation` | PBS. The secrets are also needed to rebuild a VM: without `seal_key` the seals of filed packets cannot be checked. Keep a copy of `/etc/packetstation/secrets` where IT keeps the other service secrets. |
+| Archive copies | the QNAP share | The QNAP's own backup. |

-- The globals file is applied without stopping on "already exists". Any other error fails. The script refuses a globals file that holds a password hash. On a new cluster the roles come back without passwords: set each from the stack's secret file with `\password` in psql, or start the stack on an empty volume so initdb creates them.
-- The assets copy runs in a throwaway container from the image the postgres container already runs, with `--network none`, so nothing is downloaded.
-- To put a restored database into service: stop that stack's app and worker, rename as postgres (`ALTER DATABASE packetstation RENAME TO packetstation_old; ALTER DATABASE ps_restored RENAME TO packetstation;`), start the stack, check the app, then drop the old database. This step is deliberate and manual.
+- The database is created as `install.sh` creates the live one (owner `ps_migrate`, UTF8, `en_US.UTF-8`, `template0`, CONNECT and TEMPORARY for `ps_app`), then `pg_restore --exit-on-error --single-transaction` as postgres. A failed restore leaves an empty database, never a half one.
+- The globals file is applied without stopping on "already exists". Any other error fails. A globals file with a password hash is refused. Roles created from it have no password: run `install.sh --skip-packages`, which sets both role passwords from the secrets.
+- To put a restored database into service: `sudo systemctl stop packetstation-app packetstation-worker`; as postgres (`sudo setpriv --reuid=postgres --regid=postgres --init-groups psql -X -d postgres`) run `ALTER DATABASE packetstation RENAME TO packetstation_old; ALTER DATABASE ps_restored RENAME TO packetstation;`; then `sudo systemctl restart packetstation-migrate` and `sudo systemctl start packetstation-app packetstation-worker` (migrate brings an older dump up to the release), check the app, and drop the old database. This step is deliberate and manual.
+- A rebuilt VM after a disaster: copy the saved `/etc/packetstation/secrets` back first, run `install.sh`, `ps-upgrade` with the same release, then the restore and the rename above (the install made an empty `packetstation`), and the assets.
+- The next rehearsal is IT's, quarterly (requirement O2). The first one on the test VM is part of its acceptance.
+
+## Backup and restore on docker-1 (phase 9, until the test VM)
+
+Until the test VM takes over, the docker-1 test stack is backed up by the phase 9 scripts installed on docker-1 as `/usr/local/sbin/ps-backup.sh` and `ps-restore.sh`. They reach the stack's postgres container with `docker exec` and read `/etc/packetstation/backup.conf` in the four-column form `name container database folder` (`test project:packetstation-test packetstation /home/spencerm/packetstation/test/backups`). Those versions are in git history (up to commit 3fdf063). The scripts in the repo are now the VM ones and refuse that config, so do not reinstall from the repo on docker-1. Markers, rotation and timer are the same as on a VM. The rehearsal below was made with them.

+
+Gitea issue 7. Not pausable. Off when `ARCHIVE_ROOT` is unset or blank: the run does nothing (counts `enabled: false`). With the root set but no folder saved on Admin, File locations, the run idles (`skipped: no archive folder saved`).
+
+FILE makes its own copy inside the filing transaction and refuses to file when it fails (Gitea issue 57, open question 53), so this job does not copy new filings. It catches up the filings made while the archive was off. Those packets are already filed, so a failed copy here never touches the packet. Saving a folder and "Retry now" request a run.
+
+Each run:
+
+1. Checks the saved folder with the same rules and probe as the Admin's Check (below). A failed check raises `archive_failed`, makes the run degraded and copies nothing. The job audits its own check (`archive.checked`, source `job`) only when the result differs from the last check on record.
+2. Queues every unbroken seal with a data book that has no `archive_copies` row, so turning the archive on later copies earlier filings too.
+3. Copies the pending rows, then the failed rows whose `next_try_at` has passed, up to 200 per run. Each copy is audited (`archive.copied` or `archive.copy_failed`). A failed copy waits 5 minutes, then 15, then 60, then an hour between tries. "Retry now" makes every failed row due at once.
+4. Raises `archive_failed` (condition, critical, subject `archive`) when any copy has failed 3 times or more, and resolves it when no copy is failed.
+
+Counts: `enabled`, `archive_dir`, `queued`, `copied`, `failed` (this run), `pending`, `failed_total`, `done_total`, and `check` (the message) when the folder check failed. A failed copy makes the run degraded.
+
+**The folder rules.** `ARCHIVE_ROOT` is a fixed path on the server (the NFS mount). The Admin enters the folder relative to it; an absolute path is accepted only under the root and is stored relative. Refused: empty, a `..` component, an absolute path elsewhere, the root itself, a NUL character, more than 400 characters, a folder that does not exist (nothing creates it), something that is not a folder, and a path whose real path (links followed) leaves the real root. **The check** writes `.packetstation-probe-<random>` in the folder, fsyncs it, reads it back, compares and deletes it, and reports the free space. `packetstation doctor` runs the same check on the saved folder (SKIP when the archive is off or no folder is saved).
+
+**What is copied.** One folder per seal: `<archive folder>/<project>/<unit>/<data book name without .pdf>-seal<seal id>/`, for example `packets/L51234/L51234001/L51234-Lot001_D-5001_Manufacturing_Data_Book-seal7/`. In it:
+
+- the sealed data book PDF (the asset on the seal);
+- the files of the packet's drawing pages (live and void, each file once);
+- the packet documents that are not removed (NCRs and test reports included);
+- the current Q.C. folder documents of the packet's unit and its project (what the data book's section 5 reads);
+- the MTRs on the BOM lines;
+- `manifest.json`: `packet_id`, `packet_label`, `project`, `unit`, `drawing`, `rev`, `seal_id`, `seal_hash`, `key_id`, `sealed_at`, `sealed_by`, `filed_at`, `filed_by`, `build`, and per file `name`, `kind` (databook, page, doc, qc_doc, mtr), `sha256`, `size`, `asset_id`.
+
+File names are the stored original names made safe (no separators or reserved characters) and unique in the folder (`name (2).pdf`). Each file is written to a temp name in the folder, fsynced, checked against the asset's sha256 and renamed; the manifest goes last. An existing identical file counts as done; a different file is never overwritten (the copy fails and names the file). A manifest already there for the same seal and files means the copy is done. Nothing in the archive is ever deleted. A refile after a reopen is a new seal and a new folder.

 # Packet Station go-live
 
-Status: planned, phase 10. This is a stub. It lists what the approved plan and the brief say this document will contain. See [PLAN.md](PLAN.md).
+How Packet Station goes live, and what to do when something goes wrong after. Written for Spencer (IT), Seth (engineering), Clerical and the shop supervisors. The install itself is in [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md). What the shop does while the server is down is in [PAPER-FALLBACK.md](PAPER-FALLBACK.md).
 
-## Purpose
+Status: phase 10. The steps below use only what the build has today. Facts that are not decided yet are marked **TBD**, with who decides.
 
-The go-live procedure, written with Clerical and the shop.
+## The short version
 
-## Date and boundary
+1. The production VM is installed and checked (DEPLOY.md, "Native VM install").
+2. Seth and Spencer pick the go-live date.
+3. People are put in the `PS-*` groups in AD.
+4. Production starts. The go-live date is set before the first feed run.
+5. The shop tablets are registered, and people set their PINs.
+6. New work goes into Packet Station from the go-live date. Jobs already open on M: finish on M:.
+7. When the last M: packet is filed, M: is made read-only and kept as an archive.
 
-Pick the date. Set the feed's go-live boundary to it, so work orders released before it stay out of the new system.
+## The date and the feed boundary
+
+- **Go-live date: TBD.** Seth and Spencer decide it together. Pick a day at the start of a week, with Spencer on site for the first days.
+- The date is also the feed's go-live boundary. Packet Station starts empty; nothing is migrated from M:. Without the boundary, the first feed run would make drafts for every firmed work order in the release window, including jobs already running on M: or on paper.
+- How to set it: Admin page, Feed tab, the go-live date field (setting `golive_date`). Save. The save is audited (`feed.settings_changed`) and the worker picks it up without a restart.
+- What it does: a work order released before the date, and not already tracked, makes no packet. It is listed under ignored work orders on Clerical's From VISUAL panel ([FEED.md](FEED.md), "Go-live boundary").
+- A job released before the date that should be in Packet Station after all: Clerical presses **Pull in** on that work order in the From VISUAL panel and gives a reason. The next feed run makes its draft.
+- Set the date before the production worker's first start (see "Production start"). A run before the date is set makes drafts for the whole window.
 
 ## People and groups
 
-Spencer and IT add people to the `PS-*` groups in AD, using the M: install's user list as the guide. Welder stamps and station limits are entered on the Admin page.
+Every role comes from an AD group in `OU=PacketStation,OU=Groups,OU=PESCO_FARMINGTON,DC=PESCO,DC=com`. The 50 groups exist (made 2026-10-15). Nobody can be given a role inside Packet Station.
+
+Who adds people: Spencer, as IT, in AD.
+
+The guide is the M: install's user list (its Admin page, Users: employee ID, name, departments and levels). Map each person like this:
+
+| On M: | AD group |
+|---|---|
+| Admin | `PS-Admins` |
+| Clerical, any level but lead or supervisor | `PS-Clerical` |
+| Clerical lead or supervisor | `PS-Clerical-Supervisor` (there is no Clerical lead group) |
+| Warehouse member or lead | `PS-Warehouse` |
+| Warehouse supervisor | `PS-Warehouse-Supervisor` |
+| Q.C. member or lead | `PS-QC` |
+| Q.C. supervisor | `PS-QC-Supervisor` |
+| Project Management | `PS-ProjectMgmt` |
+| A shop department, worker, lead or supervisor | `PS-<code>-<name>-Worker`, `-Lead` or `-Supervisor`, for example `PS-03-WeldParts-Worker` |
+
+`packetstation ad-groups --list` prints all 50 names. A person can be in several groups; the roles add up.
+
+Before go-live, for each person:
+
+- The AD account has `employeeID` set. The PIN sign-in uses it. A missing or shared employee ID is flagged on the Admin Profiles tab, and a shared one cannot sign in by PIN.
+- The account has a mail address if the person should get email.
+
+Then, on the Admin page:
+
+1. Group map tab: press **Refresh from AD now**. The worker reads the groups and makes the users. The tab shows the report (users seen, groups missing or extra, employee ID problems).
+2. Profiles tab: enter welder stamps and station limits. A CSV keyed by employee ID can be imported for many people at once.
+3. Users tab: check a few people. Each shows the roles AD gives them.
+
+After go-live, joiners, movers and leavers are handled in AD only. The nightly reconcile and the 15-minute role refresh follow AD ([SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md), "AD reconcile and role refresh"). The quarterly access review is IT's.
 
 ## Tablets
 
-Register the shop tablets as devices.
+The shop tablets are domain-joined. The PESCO CA is trusted on them by GPO. The kiosk lock policy is IT's (Intune or GPO).
 
-## Cut-over
+For each tablet:
 
-Point new work at `packetstation.pescoinc.biz`. Jobs already open on M: finish there.
+1. Open `https://packetstation.pescoinc.biz` in the browser.
+2. Sign in with a domain password, as an Admin or as a Supervisor of a shop department.
+3. Open Account settings. Under **Register this device**, type a name that says where it is, for example `Bldg 2 tablet 3`, and press **Register this device**. The tablet now shows the PIN sign-in.
+4. Sign out.
+5. Check that it is listed on the Admin page, Devices tab.
 
-## Retiring M:
+The device cookie lasts 365 days. Clearing the browser's data on the tablet removes it, and the tablet must be registered again.
 
-When the last M: packet is filed, retire the old install and keep its folder read-only as an archive.
+Each person who will use a tablet sets their own PIN once: sign in with the domain password (on any PC or on the tablet), open Account settings and set a PIN of 6 to 12 digits. The domain password is asked again to set it. Nobody else can set it. An Admin can only clear it.
+
+**TBD (Spencer):** the list of tablets, their names and where each one goes.
+
+## The URL
+
+- Production: `https://packetstation.pescoinc.biz`
+- Test: `https://packetstation-test.pescoinc.biz`
+
+Both names resolve inside PESCO only, to `docker-1`, where Nginx Proxy Manager forwards them to their VMs. Put the production address on the shop PCs and tablets as a shortcut or the home page. Training and trials use the test address.
 
 ## Production start
 
-The production stack starts with explicit `VISUAL_SERVER` and `VISUAL_DATABASE`. That start is Spencer's approval.
+- The production VM's env file sets `VISUAL_SERVER` and `VISUAL_DATABASE` (`PESCOINC`) explicitly, with `STACK=prod` and `NOTIFY_DRY_RUN=false`. The exact values are in DEPLOY.md.
+- Spencer starting the production services with those values is the one-time approval for the worker's scheduled reads of VISUAL production. Nobody else starts it, and Claude Code never does. The test VM never points at VISUAL production.
+- Order of the first start:
+  1. Run the migrate service, then start the app only. Leave the worker stopped.
+  2. Run `sudo ps-run doctor` on the VM. Every check must pass or show a known SKIP.
+  3. Sign in as an Admin. On the Feed tab set the go-live date. Check the departments and the auto-release switch (on by default; Seth and Clerical decide whether it stays on at go-live, **TBD**). Check the VISUAL resources tab.
+  4. On the Notifications tab, send a test message to make sure mail reaches PS-Admins.
+  5. If the archive share is ready, save the archive folder under File locations and press **Check**.
+  6. Start the worker. Watch the first feed run on the Feed tab and on Clerical's From VISUAL panel.
+
+## Cut-over
+
+- From the go-live date, new work is in Packet Station. VISUAL releases it, the feed makes the drafts, and Clerical works them from the Clerical screen.
+- Jobs already open on M: finish on M:. Nobody copies a job from M: into Packet Station. If a job must move, Clerical pulls its work orders in on the From VISUAL panel and the old M: packet is stopped by hand. Seth decides each such case.
+- For a while both systems are in use. Each supervisor knows which jobs are on which system: a job released before the go-live date is on M:, unless it was pulled in.
+- The M: install stays as it is until its last packet is filed.
+
+## Retiring M:
+
+- When the last M: packet is filed, M: is retired. **TBD:** Seth confirms that the last packet is filed. The 720 packets on M: at the start of the rebuild were all at draft or warehouse, so some may never be filed; Seth decides what happens to those.
+- Spencer, as IT, then makes `M:\Production\Packet Station` read-only for everyone (Read only on the folder and `data\`, no Modify). Nothing is deleted. The folder is kept as the archive of the old jobs.
+- Nothing from M: is moved into Packet Station (requirement O5 is superseded).
+
+## Go-live checklist
+
+Each line gets a name and a date when it is done. Keep a printed copy with the incident notes.
+
+Before the date:
+
+- [ ] Test VM built from DEPLOY.md, doctor clean, the bench green in CI.

 ## Incident notes
 
-Who to call, how to lock accounts, rotate keys and run the integrity check (requirement O4).
+This section is requirement O4. It says who to call and what to do. Every action below is a real button or command in the build today.
+
+### Who to call
+
+| Who | For | Phone |
+|---|---|---|
+| Spencer McGuire (IT) | Anything about Packet Station, the VMs, AD, accounts, keys | **TBD** |
+| IT backup when Spencer is away | **TBD (Spencer)** | **TBD** |
+| Seth (engineering) | Declaring a shop outage, the paper fallback, which jobs wait | **TBD** |
+| Clerical supervisor | Entering paper back, filing | **TBD** |
+
+Keep the phone numbers on the printed copy only. Do not put them in git.
+
+First steps for any incident:
+
+1. Write down the time and what was seen.
+2. Call Spencer. If the shop cannot work, also call Seth, who decides whether to go to paper.
+3. Do not restart or reinstall anything before Spencer has looked, unless the shop is stopped and Spencer cannot be reached.
+
+### Where to look
+
+- Admin page, Security tab: the alerts of the last 24 hours (account cooldowns, wrong PINs, denied actions, sign-in bursts, Admin changes, IT edits, integrity findings), and the last integrity run.
+- Admin page, Sign-in attempts tab: recent failed sign-ins with the account, address and reason.
+- Admin page, Access log tab: every audit row, with a CSV export.
+- Admin page, Who is in tab: who has Packet Station open now.
+- Admin page, Users tab: one person's roles, PIN state and live sessions.
+- On the VM: the journal of the app and the worker (`journalctl -u packetstation-app`, `-u packetstation-worker`).
+
+### Lock an account
+
+Packet Station has no lock button of its own. Accounts are locked in AD.
+
+1. In AD, disable the account (or take it out of every `PS-*` group).
+2. On the Admin page, Group map tab, press **Refresh from AD now**. The reconcile marks the person inactive and ends every session they have. Each ended session is audited (`auth.session_ended`, `by: ad-reconcile`).
+3. Without step 2, the role refresh does the same within 15 minutes.
+4. If the person has a PIN: Admin page, Users tab, open the person, give a reason of at least 8 characters and press **Clear PIN**. This is audited (`pin.cleared`). It does not end sessions by itself; step 2 does.
+
+The app's own sign-in limits already stop guessing: 5 failed password sign-ins put an account in a 10-minute cooldown, and 5 wrong PINs disable the PIN. These are on the Security tab.
+
+### End sessions
+
+- One person's sessions: lock the account as above. There is no Admin button that ends another person's sessions without AD.
+- Your own other sessions: Account settings, **Sign out other sessions** (password session).
+- A lost or stolen tablet: Admin page, Devices tab, **Revoke** on that device. Every PIN session on it ends at once and the tablet can no longer show the PIN sign-in. A password session open on it is not ended by the revoke: lock that account in AD as above, or wait for the idle sign-out (15 minutes).
+- Everyone at once: rotate the session key (below).
+
+### Rotate the session key
+
+The session key signs the session cookies and the device cookies. Rotate it when it may have leaked.
+
+1. Write a new random key of at least 32 characters to the session key file in `/etc/packetstation/secrets/` (root-owned, same owner and mode as before). Never type it into chat or a ticket.
+2. Restart the app and the worker.
+3. Effect: every session ends. Every device cookie stops working, so **every tablet must be registered again** (see "Tablets"). PINs are not affected.
+
+### Rotate the seal key
+
+The seal key signs the filing seals and the stamps on every printed and exported copy. Rotate it only when it may have leaked, since the cost is high.
+
+1. Copy the old key to a safe place offline, kept by IT. It is the only way to check the old seals and stamps later.
+2. Write a new random key of at least 32 characters to the seal key file in `/etc/packetstation/secrets/`.
+3. Restart the app and the worker.
+4. Effect: packets filed from now on are sealed with the new key. Packet Station keeps one key, so it can no longer check the seals made before. Every nightly integrity run reports each of them as "sealed with another key", and the stamp check fails on copies printed before the rotation. Filed records are not changed.
+5. Write the rotation date down with the incident, so the findings that follow can be read against it.
+
+### Other secrets
+
+Each of these is a file in the same folder. Change the password at its source first, then the file, then restart the app and the worker.
+
+- `svc-packetstation` (AD bind): reset in AD by IT.
+- `visualkit_ro` (VISUAL): reset by the VISUAL database admin.
+- `mfileskitRO` (M-Files): reset by the M-Files admin.
+- The PostgreSQL role passwords: changed with `ALTER ROLE` on the VM by Spencer.
+
+### Run the integrity check
+
+It runs every night at 04:00. To run it now:
+
+- On the VM: `sudo ps-run job run integrity`. `ps-run` runs a `packetstation` command as the service user with the production settings (DEPLOY.md). It prints the run and exits 1 if the run failed.
+- Or, as an Admin in a password session, `POST /api/jobs/integrity/run`. The Admin page has no button for it.
+
+The result shows on the Admin page, Security tab, Integrity. Any finding (a seal that does not match, a file whose hash changed, a missing or extra file, a break in the audit chain) raises the `integrity_failure` mail, which nobody can opt out of. Findings are never fixed by the job. A finding is evidence: do not delete or replace files before Spencer has looked.
+
+### Stop the feed
+
+If the VISUAL feed makes wrong drafts or change orders: Admin page, Feed tab, tick the **Paused** box and save. Scheduled feed, drawing and auto-release runs stop at once. Run now still works for a test. Untick to resume.
+
+### Restore
+
+Use this when the database or the assets are lost or damaged beyond repair. The steps and scripts are in DEPLOY.md, "Restore".
+
+1. Seth puts the shop on paper ([PAPER-FALLBACK.md](PAPER-FALLBACK.md)).
+2. Stop the app and the worker.
+3. Restore the newest good nightly dump into a fresh database, and copy the assets back (from the VM's PBS backup if the assets are lost).
+4. Check every asset's hash and compare the row counts, with the restore script.
+5. Run `sudo ps-run doctor`, start the app and the worker, and run the integrity check.
+6. Anything done after the dump (up to a day) is lost. It is entered again from paper and from what people remember, as in the paper fallback, and checked the same way.
+
+### Afterwards
+
+Write the incident up: what happened, when, what was done, what was rotated or restored, and what should change. **TBD (Spencer):** where IT keeps incident records.

 # Packet Station paper fallback
 
-Status: planned, phase 10. This is a stub. See [PLAN.md](PLAN.md).
+What the shop does when Packet Station is down, so work keeps moving, and how the paper is brought back in afterwards. This is requirement O3. It was written from the build and the old paper packet. Seth and the shop supervisors check it before go-live. Points they still have to settle are marked **TBD**.
 
-## Purpose
+The incident steps for IT (who to call, restore) are in [GO-LIVE.md](GO-LIVE.md), "Incident notes".
 
-What the shop does if the server is down, so work keeps moving (requirement O3).
+## What "down" means
 
-## Before an outage
+Packet Station is down when people cannot open it or cannot save in it. Some outages are partial:
 
-What is kept ready on paper, and where.
+| What is down | What still works | Go to paper? |
+|---|---|---|
+| Packet Station (the VM, the app or its database) | Nothing in Packet Station. VISUAL and the labor kiosk are separate and still work. | Yes |
+| Active Directory | Screens that are already signed in keep working. New sign-ins, by password or PIN, fail. | Only for people who cannot sign in. Keep signed-in screens open. |
+| VISUAL | Every packet already in Packet Station. The feed stops, so no new drafts and no closes from VISUAL until it is back. | No. Clerical waits for the feed. |
+| M-Files | Every packet that has its drawing. New drafts wait for their drawing, or Clerical uploads it by hand. | No |
+| Email | Everything. Notices are sent when mail is back. | No |
+| The network in one building | Packet Station, from the other buildings. | That building only. |
+
+## Who declares it
+
+- Anyone who cannot work calls their supervisor. The supervisor calls Spencer (IT).
+- Spencer says what is down and how long it may take.
+- Seth decides whether the shop goes to paper, and tells the supervisors. **TBD (Seth):** how long to wait before going to paper. The suggestion is 30 minutes, or at once when Spencer expects a long outage.
+- Seth also says when the outage is over and the paper is to be entered back.
+
+## Before an outage: what is kept ready
+
+Kept ready all the time, so nobody has to print during an outage. **TBD (Seth):** who keeps each set up to date, and how often.
+
+| Form | Where it comes from | Kept by | Where |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Job traveler for each packet in the shop | Packet Station, the traveler print on the packet. It has the job details, the work orders with their QR codes for the labor kiosk, the BOM with heat numbers, the department checklist with blanks to stamp, the weld log, the weld record, the sign-offs and a notes box. | The department supervisor | With the job at the station, or in the supervisor's folder |
+| Drawing with the heat or weld map | Packet Station, the drawing print on the packet | The department supervisor | With the traveler |
+| Blank checklist for each department | The department's list on the Checklists screen, printed with the browser's own print (Ctrl+P) | Each supervisor | Supervisor's desk |
+| Blank weld log and heat number sheet | **TBD (Seth and Q.C.):** a blank form. Packet Station has no blank form; the traveler's weld log is filled in for a known packet. | Each supervisor | Supervisor's desk |
+| Blank warehouse pull and short sheet | **TBD (Warehouse supervisor):** a blank form, or the traveler's BOM table | Warehouse supervisor | Warehouse desk |
+| Blank Q.C. inspection sheet | **TBD (Q.C. supervisor):** Q.C.'s own form. Packet Station has no blank Q.C. form. | Q.C. supervisor | Q.C. office |
+| The list of jobs in the shop with their status | Packet Station, the board of each screen, printed with Ctrl+P, or the PM report PDF | Clerical | Clerical office |
+| A printed copy of this file and of the GO-LIVE.md incident notes | This repo | Clerical and each supervisor | With the forms |
+
+Every print from Packet Station carries the PRINTED COPY stamp with the drawing revision and "verify revision before use". A printed traveler or drawing can go stale if a change order comes in later. Print fresh copies when a change order is approved.
+
+The suggestion is that a supervisor prints the traveler and the drawing when a packet is assigned to a station, so every job in the shop always has its paper copy at the station. **TBD (Seth):** whether to do that for every packet or only keep blank forms.
 
 ## During an outage
 
-How each department records work on paper.
+General rules for everyone:
 
-## After an outage
+- Keep working the job you have. Nothing in an outage changes how the work is done, only where it is written down.
+- Write on the paper traveler or the blank form for that job: the job and lot, the date and time, your name and employee ID, your stamp, and what you did. Write the time a step was done, not the time it is entered later.
+- One sheet per job per department. Do not write two jobs on one sheet.
+- Keep the sheets with the job until the outage is over, then give them to your supervisor.
+- Clock labor at the VISUAL labor kiosk with the QR codes on the traveler, as usual, if VISUAL is up. Over target is decided on those ticket hours, not on the station clock.
 
-How paper records are entered back into Packet Station, and who checks them.
+By department:
+
+### Clerical
+
+- Stops releasing new work in Packet Station. VISUAL keeps releasing; the feed makes those drafts when Packet Station is back.
+- Does not file anything. Filing needs Packet Station (the seal and the data book are built on the server). Jobs ready to file wait.
+- Keeps the list of jobs in the shop and notes any job that moves between departments on paper.
+- Collects the paper sheets from the supervisors at the end of each shift.
+
+### Warehouse
+
+- Pulls parts from the printed traveler's BOM. Writes the heat number, the quantity issued and the location for each line on the sheet.
+- Writes shorts on the sheet with the reason (use the same reasons as in Packet Station) and the quantity short.
+- Keeps the MTRs for the job with the sheet.
+- Hands the parts to the department with the sheet, as on the old paper packet. The release is entered in Packet Station afterwards.
+
+### Shop supervisors
+
+- Assign work on paper: write the station and the welder on the traveler.
+- Approve received shorts by checking the part and its heat against the sheet, and initial the line.
+- Verify change orders that were already approved before the outage, on paper. New change orders wait for Packet Station.
+- Collect every sheet from the stations at the end of each shift and hand them to Clerical.
+
+### Stations and welders
+
+- Work from the printed traveler and drawing.
+- Mark each weld on the printed drawing's weld map, and the heat numbers on its heat map, as in the old paper packet.
+- Fill in the checklist blanks, the weld log (weld, welder stamp, process, filler) and the weld record (filler metal and lot, preheat).
+- Write the start and stop times on the traveler. The station clock in Packet Station cannot be set by hand; the times go into the notes when entered back.
+- Sign off on the traveler with your stamp where you would sign in Packet Station.
+
+### Q.C.
+
+- Inspects from the traveler and the drawing, on the Q.C. inspection sheet.
+- Writes accept or reject, with the reason for a reject and the NCR number when there is one.
+- Keeps NDE and other reports with the sheet.
+- ITP lines and block signatures are written on the printed ITP and entered afterwards. **TBD (Q.C. supervisor):** whether Q.C. keeps a printed ITP for each open unit.
+
+### Project Management
+
+- Uses the last printed report. Packet Station has no reports during the outage.
+
+## After an outage: entering paper back
+
+Start when Seth says the outage is over. Enter everything before new work starts on that job.
+
+Who enters what:
+
+| What | Entered by | In Packet Station |
+|---|---|---|
+| Warehouse pulls, heats, shorts, MTRs | Warehouse | The pull table on the packet; MTRs uploaded on the line |
+| Release to the department | Warehouse | Release on the warehouse board |
+| Assignment to a station and welder | The supervisor | Assign on the supervisor board |
+| Welds, heat marks, checklist, weld record | The welder who did the work, or the supervisor | The weld map, the heat table, the checklist and the stage fields |
+| Submit and send to Q.C. | The welder, then the supervisor | Submit (with the welder's own PIN), send to Q.C. |
+| Short approvals | The department supervisor | Approve each received short, with a signature |
+| Q.C. inspection, accept or reject, reports | Q.C. | The Q.C. tab, accept or reject with a signature, documents |
+| ITP lines and signatures | Q.C. | The unit's ITP |
+
+Rules for entering back:
+
+- Each person enters and signs their own work, with their own PIN or password. Nobody signs for someone else. If a person is not there, their supervisor enters the data and the person signs when back.
+- A signature records the time it is entered, not the time on the paper. Write in the notes of each step: "Entered from paper, done <date and time> by <name>."
+- The station clock cannot be back-dated. Write the paper start and stop times in the stage notes.
+- Packet Station checks every entry as it always does. If it refuses a step (a heat number missing, a checklist item not ticked), the paper is incomplete. Ask the person who did the work. Do not invent the missing value.
+- An Admin can enter data outside custody only with an IT reason, and it is marked as an IT edit. Use that only when the department cannot enter it, and say why.
+
+Who checks it:
+
+- Each department supervisor checks, the same shift, that everything on their paper sheets is in Packet Station for their department, and initials the sheet.
+- Q.C. checks the welds, heats and inspection results against the paper before the Q.C. accept, as on any packet.
+- Clerical collects the initialed sheets and keeps them with the job file. **TBD (Seth):** whether the paper sheets are scanned into the packet (a packet document of kind "Other" goes into the data book, which goes to the customer), or kept on paper in the job file only.
+
+## After a restore
+
+If Spencer restores from the nightly backup, the work of up to one day before the outage is lost from Packet Station as well. That work is entered again in the same way, from the paper the shop kept, the travelers and what people remember, and checked the same way. Spencer says from what time the data was lost.
+
+## Practice
+
+**TBD (Seth):** a short paper drill on the test system before go-live, so every department has used the forms once.

 - Production and test each on their own Linux VM, natively, with no Docker (Spencer, 2026-10-27, Gitea issue 37; see "Host layout"). The test VM is built first from the same steps, so the production install, backups, restore and doctor are rehearsed before go-live. The app and the worker run as systemd services from a venv built from the same `server/requirements.txt` and `server/requirements-pesco.txt` pins as the image, with PostgreSQL 16, ODBC Driver 18 and the PESCO CA installed on the VM. Settings from an env file, secrets as root-owned files read through the same `*_PASSWORD_FILE` settings, VISUAL_SERVER and VISUAL_DATABASE set explicitly; first start is Spencer's approval. NPM on docker-1 proxies `packetstation.pescoinc.biz` and `packetstation-test.pescoinc.biz` to their VMs over the LAN. Backups, the doctor and the restore are rewritten for the VMs (no `docker exec`). DEPLOY.md gets a VM section; the compose files stay for CI. The docker-1 test stack keeps running until the test VM is ready, then it is stopped.
-- Archive location (Gitea issue 7, Spencer 2026-10-27). Spencer creates an NFS share on the QNAP and mounts it on docker-1 (root, steps in DEPLOY.md), with write access for uid 10001. Compose bind-mounts it into the app and the worker at a fixed root, `ARCHIVE_ROOT` (unset turns the feature off). The Admin page gets a File locations section with one setting for now, the archive folder, as a path under `ARCHIVE_ROOT`. The server refuses a path that leaves the root (`..`, absolute paths elsewhere, symlinks out). "Check" writes a probe file, reads it back, removes it and shows the result, and saving runs the same check first. The setting change and every check are audited. `doctor` runs the check too. What is written to the archive and when (for example the sealed data book, its documents and a manifest at filing) is decided on issue 7 before it is built; until then the setting and the check exist and nothing is copied.

 2. **PDFs on the server** (confirm before phase 7): reportlab + pypdf + pypdfium2. Default: yes. Phase 7 (2026-10-17) applied the default: reportlab 5.0.1, pypdf and pypdfium2, with Pillow 13.0.0 for the rasters.
 3. **Frontend stack** (confirm before phase 1): TypeScript + React + Vite. Default: yes. Plain JavaScript would not be faster for parity: the old 7,000 lines are screen code that must be rewritten either way, and typed API models cut rework.
 4. **PIN defaults** (confirm): 6 to 12 digits, five attempts, 10-hour shop session, device cookie. Was open (Seth and Q.C., before phase 6): whether Q.C. accept and filing require the domain password even with a PIN set. Default: PIN is enough. Confirmed by SethD on 2026-10-26, Gitea issue 2: the PIN is enough for every sign-off, Q.C. accept and filing included. IT: device certificate later. The device cookie stays and no device certificate is planned: confirmed by Spencer (IT) on 2026-10-18, Gitea issue 3.
-5. **Several open orders on a project** (before phase 3): which order a packet shows. Proposed rule: the open order whose line's top job is the packet's work order base, else the newest open order, else the newest closed one; the packet shows "via base" or "via project" and Clerical can override. Needs Seth's view. Phase 3 (2026-10-16) built the default in one function (`feed/orders.py`): a Clerical pin, else the base's own linked order, else the project order whose top job is the unit, else the project's first open order, else its newest; the source (`via`) is stored on the project and unit and shown on the project page, which lists every open order. Seth may change the rule later in that one place.

SethD on 2026-10-28, Gitea issue 4: the order should follow the shop schedule, linked live so a job that is moved, pushed or pulled up changes what its packets show. That needs a discussion first; the rule stays as built until then. SethD on 2026-10-29: the schedule is Presley's Production Planner, which the whole shop works from today. Asked on issue 4 (2026-10-30): what it is, where it lives, what a row holds and how often it changes. Packet Station would only read it.
 6. **VISUAL_ENCRYPT** (IT, before production): yes once vsql has a trusted certificate; `no` until then.
 7. **Policy tightenings** listed under "Challenges" 1 to 3 (Seth, before phase 2). Confirmed by SethD on 2026-10-26, Gitea issue 6: "good as shown". Every row is kept, filing for packets routed to Shipping included (Spencer read the answer that way on 2026-10-27).
 8. **Repo location**: PacketStation2 as proposed, or another name.
-9. **Retention period** (D6) and customer-facing data book copy (D7): deferred, but a decision from Seth and Q.C. lets a later phase close them. Gitea issue 7: SethD expects all data to be kept (2026-10-26). Spencer decided on 2026-10-27 that project files are also archived to an NFS share he sets up on the QNAP, with an Admin setting for the folder path that checks read and write (phase 10, "Archive location"). Nothing is deleted from Packet Station; the archive is a copy. Still open on issue 7: a minimum retention period, if any, and what goes into the archive and when.

 15. Gitea runner: whether the Samba DC container can run there (overlayfs xattrs, possibly cap SYS_ADMIN). Checked in phase 1; if not, CI uses a runner with a Docker socket on docker-1. Phase 1 finding (2026-10-16): the container needs `cap_add: [SYS_ADMIN]` (Samba 4.17 sets sysvol NT ACLs through `security.*` xattrs) and runs that way on docker-1; the Gitea runner itself is still to be tried. Phase 2 (2026-10-16): an act_runner with the host Docker socket is registered on docker-1 as `docker-1` (deploy/runner/); resolved: the runner passes `cap_add` through, and the e2e job (stack with the DC plus the Playwright scenarios) passed on it on 2026-10-16.
 16. NPM: confirm `Block common exploits` does not interfere with uploads; checked when the test proxy host is made in phase 0.
 17. SET_DATABOOK_AT is writable by anyone in the old build, even when filed: default restrict to Clerical and Q.C. Confirmed by SethD on 2026-10-26, Gitea issue 14.

ClamAV is optional and off unless CLAMAV_HOST is set; when set, an unreachable scanner refuses uploads (fail closed). Confirmed by Spencer (IT) on 2026-10-18, Gitea issue 19: the limits stay, and ClamAV stays off in both stacks because every workstation that uses Packet Station runs Microsoft Defender. The `clamav` profile stays in the build, unused.

Confirmed by Spencer (IT) on 2026-10-18, Gitea issue 20: 85 percent stays, and the alert goes to PS-Admins. Phase 9 seeds the `assets_quota` notification rule with PS-Admins as its recipient.

Default: computed, not copied. Confirmed by SethD on 2026-10-26, Gitea issue 21: the marks stay with the packet as it moves on, and a department that receives the packet (for example weld assembly after parts weld) adds its welds to the same weld map, so the data book carries one map.

Phase 9 (2026-10-21) applied the default. Replaced by change C8: a template change applies to new packets only. Built on 2026-10-30: a stage freezes its list at START, so a change reaches only stages not yet started.
+53. A failed archive copy at filing (phase 10, Gitea issues 7 and 57). Answered by Spencer on 2026-11-03 (issue 57): the copy must succeed before the packet counts as filed. FILE checks the folder and copies the packet inside the filing transaction. If the check or the copy fails, the whole filing rolls back, so the packet stays in its previous stage and can be filed again. The person filing gets 503 `archive_failed` with the reason. In a transaction of its own the server writes an `archive.filing_blocked` audit row and raises the `archive_failed` condition to Admin (subject `filing:<packet id>`, critical) with the packet, who tried, the archive folder and the error. A retry that fails again only counts on the open condition, and the next successful filing of that packet clears it. With `ARCHIVE_ROOT` unset or no folder saved, the archive is not in use and filing goes ahead. The worker job still copies the filings made while the archive was off, with its retries and its own `archive_failed` condition (subject `archive`). The earlier default (never block, retry in the worker) is replaced.

+Changes decided by SethD on 2026-10-26. Each replaces a default above. All five were built on 2026-10-30 (branch `seth-changes`):
 
-- C1 (issue 1, Q1 and Q38): the station timer stays and is shown as today, but "over target" is decided by the VISUAL ticket hours against the work-order target, not by the timer.
-- C2 (issue 24, Q27): a Q.C. reject always needs a detailed reason; an NCR number no longer stands in for it. A rejected item cannot be accepted until an NCR number is entered. Q.C. can upload the NCR document to the packet, and it goes into the data book.
-- C3 (issue 25, Q28): a packet whose unit has an ITP that is not complete cannot be filed, so no data book is built. The packet goes back to have the ITP completed.
-- C4 (issue 27, Q32): prints go straight to the browser's print dialog from the page, as the old build did, with no new tab. The stamped pages stay the same.
-- C5 (issue 31, Q36): filing is blocked, not warned, while VISUAL still shows a work order open. The packet waits in a Clerical "Ready to close" column until the feed sees VISUAL closed, then moves to "Ready for data book". This applies to both routes unless Seth says Shipping is different.
+- C1 (issue 1, Q1 and Q38): the station timer stays and is shown as today, but "over target" is decided by the VISUAL ticket hours against the work-order target, not by the timer. Built 2026-10-30: `domain/pm.py` `is_over()` flags a packet when its ticket hours are above a target above zero, so a packet with no ticket hours is never over. The hours tables, the "Packets over target" table, the KPI, the summary line, the CSV and the report PDF follow, with columns named "Ticket h / target" and "Over target (tickets)". The timer column stays.
+- C2 (issue 24, Q27): a Q.C. reject always needs a detailed reason; an NCR number no longer stands in for it. A rejected item cannot be accepted until an NCR number is entered. Q.C. can upload the NCR document to the packet, and it goes into the data book. Built 2026-10-30: QC_REJECT needs a reason of 8 characters and may also carry an NCR number. When a reject since the last accept has no NCR number, QC_ACCEPT and QC_ACCEPT_AND_ROUTE need one in the request (precondition `ncr_given`, 422 `ncr_required`); the number is stored on the accepting inspection and in the log. The packet read has `ncr_required`, and the Q.C. bar shows the NCR field as required. An `ncr` packet document is in section 5 of the data book.
+- C3 (issue 25, Q28): a packet whose unit has an ITP that is not complete cannot be filed, so no data book is built. The packet goes back to have the ITP completed. Built 2026-10-30: precondition `itp_complete` on FILE. An ITP that is not complete (open, signed or reopened) blocks; a unit with no ITP does not. The reason shows under File in the close panel.
+- C4 (issue 27, Q32): prints go straight to the browser's print dialog from the page, as the old build did, with no new tab. The stamped pages stay the same. Built 2026-10-30: every print in the app goes through `frontend/src/lib/printPdf.ts`, which renders the stamped PDF with pdf.js into a hidden print area and opens the print dialog. Viewing a PDF (data book, traveler, ITP PDF, PM report) still opens a tab. The server did not change.
+- C5 (issue 31, Q36): filing is blocked, not warned, while VISUAL still shows a work order open. The packet waits in a Clerical "Ready to close" column until the feed sees VISUAL closed, then moves to "Ready for data book". This applies to both routes unless Seth says Shipping is different. Built 2026-10-30: precondition `closed_in_visual` replaces `vclosed_if_databook`. On a VISUAL packet the feed is the one writer of `vclosed_at`: it sets it when every leg is closed or cancelled and clears it when a leg shows open again, so the Clerical board moves the packet by itself. FILE needs it and no open leg, on both routes. A hand packet has no feed state, so Clerical still confirms the close by hand (SET_VCLOSED, Data Book route only); SET_VCLOSED is refused on a VISUAL packet. `confirm_open_wos` and the 409 `open_work_orders` are gone.
+  Asked on issue 31 on 2026-10-30, open until answered: (a) a work order deleted from VISUAL while open keeps its last status, so its packet can never file. Should a leg gone for 2 runs count as closed, or should an Admin close it with a reason? (b) Shipping packets now wait for the VISUAL close too. Is that right for Shipping, or should Shipping file without it? Until Seth answers, both stay as built.
+
+Changes decided by SethD on 2026-10-28. All six were built on 2026-10-30 (branch `seth-changes`):
+
+- C6 (issue 8, Q9, D7): the data book leaves out the packet history pages. It is the one copy, and it goes to the customer. History stays readable in Packet Station. Built 2026-10-30: section 7 "Record history" is gone and the data book has six sections. The change-order table it held moved to a "Change order record" page at the end of section 1, only when the packet has change orders. Say if that page should go too.
+- C7 (issue 18, Q21): every received short also needs the department supervisor's approval, one short at a time. The supervisor checks the part and its heat number against what the warehouse issued. A packet cannot be marked complete until every short is received and approved. Built 2026-10-30: migration 0011 adds `short_approvals` (append-only, one row per receipt). New action SHORT_APPROVE: the supervisor of the packet's current department (a lead is not enough), Admin through the bypass, any status but filed, signature "Approve a received short", at `POST /api/packets/{id}/shorts/receipts/{receipt_id}/approve`. Precondition `shorts_approved` on QC_ACCEPT and FILE, not on QC_ACCEPT_AND_ROUTE. The Materials tab shows each receipt with who received it and who approved it. There is no list of receipts to approve on the supervisor board yet.
+- C8 (issue 23, Q26 and Q52): checklists become per department. Each department supervisor edits their own department's checklist, Admin edits any, and Q.C. does not edit department checklists. A change applies to packets not yet started, never to packets already started. Built 2026-10-30: a department's own list is the settings row `checklist:<code>`; without one it uses the default for its kind (the weld or plain list in `checklist_templates`). `GET /api/checklists`, `GET` and `PUT /api/checklists/{dept}` with version compare-and-set. The department's Supervisor (not a lead) and Admin may save, in a password session. `packet_stages.checklist_template` (migration 0011) freezes the list at START, and every reader uses the frozen list when set. New screen `/checklists`.
+- C9 (issue 32, Q37): the stamp check is open to Admin, Q.C. and Clerical. Built 2026-10-30: `POST /api/stamp-verify` and `POST /api/stamp-verify/pdf` for Admin and every Q.C. and Clerical level, in a password session. The `/api/admin` paths stay as aliases. New screen `/stamp-check`.
+- C10 (issue 33, Q39): the PM screen and its reports are for PS-ProjectMgmt and Admin only. Built 2026-10-30: every `/api/pm/*` endpoint is 403 for anyone else. No other screen calls `/api/pm`. The PM screen entry shows only for those roles.
+- C11 (issue 36, Q42): the Stall screen shows a welder the packets assigned to him, each at the stall the supervisor picked when assigning. The welder does not pick a stall. Moving a welder to another stall is a re-assign by the supervisor. Built 2026-10-30: `GET /api/stall/mine` lists the packets assigned to the person (assigned, in progress, in review), each with the station the supervisor picked, across stations. The Stall screen has no station picker, and the stall's Mine no longer needs a station. Someone with nothing assigned sees "Your supervisor assigns packets to you."
+
+Known edges of C1 to C11 at deploy:
+
+- Packets in flight. Every short receipt recorded before the deploy has no approval, so the supervisor approves it before the next Q.C. accept, or before filing a packet that is already complete. A Q.C. reject since the last accept that has no NCR number needs one at the next accept. Nothing is backfilled.
+- Stages started before migration 0011. The migration freezes the open stage of every packet in progress, in review or at Q.C. to the default list for its kind, from the `checklist_templates` row. A department edit does not reach those stages. When that row is missing, such a stage has no frozen list and reads its department's live list until it closes. A packet whose stages all closed before 0011 also reads the live list, so a later edit changes what its checklist shows.
+- The feed sets `vclosed_at` in any status before filed, so a packet can come back from Q.C. straight into "Ready for data book".

 4. **System.** A system-only action refuses every person (`system_only`). The system principal passes only system-only actions (`forbidden`).
 5. **Admin bypass.** An admin who is not allowed by the rule's Who passes who and custody when an IT reason of at least 8 characters is given. Without one the code is `it_reason_required`. SET_DATABOOK_AT needs no reason. The decision is marked `admin_bypass`, and the write marks the log row as an IT edit.

 7. **Who and custody.** Code `forbidden`. For a step: "Your access doesn't allow this step." For an edit: "Your access doesn't allow changing (what) on this packet. It's with (holder) right now." PM fails here for everything.

 ## Phase 7: close, file, PDFs and prints
 
-Nothing in the rule table changes in phase 7. FILE, ADMIN_REOPEN, SET_VCLOSED and SET_DATABOOK_AT keep their rows.
+Nothing in the rule table changes in phase 7. FILE, ADMIN_REOPEN, SET_VCLOSED and SET_DATABOOK_AT keep their rows. Changes C2, C3, C5 and C7 (built 2026-10-30) changed FILE and SET_VCLOSED, as below.
 
 ### Close in VISUAL
 
-SET_VCLOSED is Clerical, in status complete, only when the packet is routed to the data book (`POST /api/packets/{id}/vclosed` `{closed}`). Confirming sets `vclosed_at` and `vclosed_by`. Taking it back clears both ("Not closed in VISUAL, move back"). A packet routed to Shipping files without it.
+`packets.vclosed_at` is the one record of "closed in VISUAL" (Gitea issue 31, change C5, built 2026-10-30). Who writes it depends on the packet:
 
-The packet read carries `vclose_check`, outside the seal. It is null for a hand packet. For a feed packet: `observed_at` and `closed_at` from the feed's VISUAL state, `open_wos` (the legs whose status is not `C` and not cancelled, as `wo_base/lot` text, never cast), and `agrees` (true when the Clerical confirm and the feed's closed state say the same). The feed state is a hint. Clerical's confirm is the record, and the precondition `vclosed_if_databook` reads only the confirm.
+- A VISUAL packet: the feed alone. It sets `vclosed_at` (with `vclosed_by` null) when every leg is closed or cancelled, and clears it when a leg shows open again (see [FEED.md](FEED.md), "The apply"). The Clerical board reads it, so the packet moves from "Ready to close" to "Ready for data book" by itself. SET_VCLOSED on a VISUAL packet is refused as `wrong_status`: "The VISUAL feed marks this job closed when it sees every work order closed."
+- A hand packet has no feed state. SET_VCLOSED is Clerical, in status complete, only when the packet is routed to the data book (`POST /api/packets/{id}/vclosed` `{closed}`). Confirming sets `vclosed_at` and `vclosed_by`. Taking it back clears both ("Not closed in VISUAL, move back"). A hand packet routed to Shipping files without it.
+
+The packet read carries `vclosed` (`{at, by}`; `by` is null when the feed set it) and `vclose_check`, outside the seal. `vclose_check` is null for a hand packet. For a feed packet: `observed_at` and `closed_at` from the feed's VISUAL state, `open_wos` (the legs whose status is not `C` and not cancelled, as `wo_base/lot` text, never cast), and `agrees`. The precondition `closed_in_visual` reads `vclosed_at` and, on a VISUAL packet, the open legs.
 
 ### Filing
 
-FILE is Clerical, from complete, held by an open change order, signed ("File in the data book"), with the precondition `vclosed_if_databook` ("Close the job in VISUAL first.").
+FILE is Clerical, from complete, held by an open change order, signed ("File in the data book"), with three preconditions. `blocked.file` lists every one that fails, so the close panel says why.
 
-When `vclose_check.open_wos` is not empty, the transition must carry `confirm_open_wos: true`. Without it the answer is 409 `open_work_orders` "VISUAL still shows 2 work orders open on this packet: L489052/1, L489052/2. File anyway?" with `work_orders` in the body. It is a warning, not a block, on both routes. The check runs after the policy and before the signature, so a cancelled confirm costs no PIN attempt. With the confirm, the seal keeps the work orders in `open_wos` and the log note says so. A hand packet has no feed state and no warning.
+- `closed_in_visual` (Gitea issue 31, change C5). A VISUAL packet, on both routes: no work order open in the feed's state and `vclosed_at` set by the feed. While a work order is open: "VISUAL still shows work orders open on this packet: L489052/1, L489052/2. Filing waits until VISUAL closes them." With none open but the close not yet seen: "Filing waits until the VISUAL feed sees the job closed." A hand packet: "Close the job in VISUAL first." on the Data Book route until Clerical confirms; none on Shipping.
+- `itp_complete` (Gitea issue 25, change C3): the unit's ITP is complete. An ITP that is open, signed or reopened blocks with "Complete the unit's ITP first. Q.C. signs it off on the ITP page." A unit with no ITP does not block.
+- `shorts_approved` (Gitea issue 18, change C7): no open short and every receipt approved by the supervisor.
+
+Filing is blocked, not warned. The phase 7 second confirmation (`confirm_open_wos` and the 409 `open_work_orders`) is gone; the server ignores `confirm_open_wos` if a client still sends it. New seals never record `open_wos`; older seals keep theirs.
 
 In one transaction, filing sets status filed and `databook_at`, writes the seal, builds the data book, stores it as an asset on the seal, and writes the log and audit rows. A data book that cannot be built answers 500 `databook_failed` "The data book could not be built: <reason>. Nothing was filed." and nothing is written. A part that cannot be read (a missing file, an unreadable MTR) does not fail the filing: it becomes a warning row in the data book index.

 | The screen limited removing an ITP line's initials to the same inspector or an admin, and refused it while the block was signed. Nothing else checked. | The server enforces both (open question 18). | The initials are that inspector's record. The screen alone could be skipped. | Yes |
 | Any Q.C. user could remove a block signature. | Only the signer or an admin, while the ITP is open (open question 30). | A signature is that person's record. | Yes |
+| Clerical marked a job closed in VISUAL by hand, and nothing checked VISUAL. | On a VISUAL packet the feed sets the close when it sees every work order closed, and FILE is blocked while VISUAL shows one open, on both routes. Clerical confirms only hand packets (Gitea issue 31, change C5). | The data book should not be filed for a job still open in VISUAL. | No (decided by SethD) |
+| A packet could be filed while its unit's ITP was still open. | FILE needs the unit's ITP complete when the unit has one (Gitea issue 25, change C3). | The data book should not be built from an incomplete ITP. | No (decided by SethD) |
+| A received short needed no further check. | The department supervisor approves each receipt with a signature. Q.C. accept to complete and filing wait for every approval (Gitea issue 18, change C7). | The supervisor checks the part and its heat number against what the warehouse issued. | No (decided by SethD) |
+| One checklist for weld departments and one for the rest, the same in every department of a kind. | Each department has its own checklist, edited by its supervisor or Admin. A stage keeps the list it started with (Gitea issue 23, change C8). | Each department knows its own work. A list changed during a stage would ask for items the work did not plan for. | No (decided by SethD) |

-Status: phases 1 to 4 built (identity, organisation, projects, packets, change orders, documents, jobs, VISUAL and drawing caches, the warehouse columns in use, the `notification_events` placeholder). Phase 5 adds the shop columns, the checklist templates and the clock rules (migration 0006). Phase 6 adds the Q.C. columns, the Q.C. check items, the Q.C. folder metadata, the ITP header, line and block details and the ITP log (migration 0007). Phase 7 adds the print log and the data book on the seal (migration 0008). Phase 8 adds no table and no migration: the PM report exports use new `print_log` kinds and presence uses two new session events. Phase 9 adds the notification rules and delivery, the integrity findings and the Admin profile switch (migration 0010). The DDL is in `server/packetstation/migrations/`; this file explains it.

 - `bom_shorts`: one open short per line at most. Opening a short sets the line's `issued` to `qty` minus the short quantity and ticks it pulled. `qty` is what was short in total, `qty_open` what is still missing. `reason` is one of the closed short reasons, `ref` the PO or requisition, `eta` the expected date. Editing an open short keeps what was already received in `qty`. "Not short after all" closes it (`closed_at`) and sets `issued` to the line's `qty`. While a short is open, the line's heat, issued and location change only through the short.

Indexed on `packet_id`. A second approval of a receipt breaks the unique key; the API answers 409 `already_approved`. The packet read and the board cards count `shorts_unapproved`: open shorts plus receipts with no row here.
+- `packet_stages.checklist_template` (jsonb, new; Gitea issue 23, change C8): the checklist the stage froze at START, as a list of `{group, key, text}` with the placeholders not filled. NULL means the stage has not started and reads its department's live list. START sets it once, only when NULL. Every reader uses it when set. 0011 backfills it on the open stage of every packet in progress, in review or at Q.C. with the default list for the stage's kind from the `checklist_templates` row, so a department edit does not reach work already started. When that row is missing or its list is not an array, the stage stays NULL and reads the department's live list until it closes.
+- Settings rows `checklist:<dept code>` (no migration; for example `checklist:03`): one department's own checklist, `{"items": [{group, key, text}, ...]}`. `{"items": null}` sets the department back to the default for its kind and keeps the row's `version` for compare and set. A row that does not parse is logged and the default applies. A department with no row uses the default for its kind: the `weld` or `plain` list of `checklist_templates`, else the code's defaults. The department's Supervisor or an Admin saves it through `PUT /api/checklists/{dept}` (see [POLICY.md](POLICY.md), "Checklists").
+- `packets.vclosed_at` and `vclosed_by` (no migration; Gitea issue 31, change C5): on a VISUAL packet the feed is now the one writer. It sets `vclosed_at` (with `vclosed_by` null) when every leg is closed or cancelled and clears both when a leg shows open again. On a hand packet Clerical still sets them.

A done row must have `folder` and `done_at` (CHECK). Indexed on (`next_try_at`, `id`) where not done, and on `packet_id`. `ps_app` has SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE; DELETE and TRUNCATE are revoked, so a copy record is never removed. The worker queues a row for every unbroken seal that has a data book and no row yet, so turning the archive on later also copies earlier filings. A refile after a reopen is a new seal and a new row.
+- `job_schedule` gains the `archive-copy` row.
+- Settings row `files` (no migration): `{"archive_dir": "<folder relative to ARCHIVE_ROOT>"}`, saved by the Admin on File locations with compare and set on `version`. No row, or no `archive_dir`, means no folder is saved and nothing is copied.
+- Audit actions: `admin.file_locations_updated` (detail `archive_dir: {from, to}`), `archive.checked` (every check: `source` admin, save, doctor or job, with `archive_dir`, `ok`, `resolved`, `free_bytes`, `message`; the job records its own check only when the result changes), `archive.copied` (`seal_id`, `folder`, `files`, `manifest_sha256`), `archive.copy_failed` (`seal_id`, `attempts`, `error`), `admin.archive_retry` (the "Retry now" job request).

+How the server build of Packet Station is protected, and where each production requirement stands. The old browser build's security document is in the old repo (`C:\Users\spencerm\Coding\PacketStation\docs\SECURITY.md`). Its Part 3 is the source of the requirement IDs. The design comes from [BRIEF.md](BRIEF.md) and [PLAN.md](PLAN.md).
 
-Status: phase 9. The identity controls (sessions, PIN, rate limits, audit, Origin check, derived group map) and the policy controls (server policy on every write, workflow steps as compare-and-set, server-side validation and limits, IT edit reasons, the filed lock, the upload pipeline for drawings and documents) are built and tested. Phase 3 adds the worker controls (read-only VISUAL and M-Files reads, stack guard, advisory locks, redacted errors, audited system writes). No requirement ID closes in phase 3. Phase 4 completes the upload pipeline (a kind per upload with its own types and limit, XLSX and CSV by content, the optional ClamAV scan, the assets volume quota alert) and adds the warehouse rules (the heat gate on release, closed hold and short reasons, receive by custody). Phase 4 closes D5. Phase 5 adds the shop rules (the server as the clock of record, server-assigned mark numbers under the packet row lock, insert-only change-order verifications with a signature, VOID sheets never edited). Phase 6 adds the Q.C. rules (server gates on accept, block sign and sign-off, NCR numbers checked by pattern, Q.C. documents never deleted, the append-only ITP log, server-verified signatures on every Q.C. and ITP sign-off). No requirement ID closes in phase 6. Phase 7 adds the close and file controls (the HMAC seal with the data book filed on it, the controlled-copy and print stamps signed with the seal key, `print_log` and audit rows for every print and export, the CSV formula guard, PDF metadata, escaping in the PDFs). Phase 7 closes M2, S6, S7 and S8. Phase 8 adds the Project Management reads and exports, the server-side find bar filters and the presence rules (display name and role only, locked and revoked sessions dropped). No requirement ID closes in phase 8. Phase 9 adds the nightly AD reconcile and the 15-minute role refresh, the integrity job with its alert, email notifications over verified STARTTLS with security events nobody can mute, the security alerts and the Security tab settings, the Admin tabs (every change audited), nightly backups with a rehearsed restore, and dependency scanning in CI. Phase 9 closes the app part of I6, M3, O1, O2 and S3. Every other control names the phase that builds it.
+Status: phase 10. Every requirement ID is closed, superseded, deferred with a hook left, or owned by IT. Phase 10 closes O3 (paper fallback) and O4 (incident notes), closes D6 with the archive, tunes S1 (the CSP pass) and moves the host rows to the native VMs. S4 (the penetration test) stays IT's, before go-live.

-## Part 1: the old layers, moved to the server
+Owners: **Dev** builds and keeps Packet Station (Spencer, with Claude Code). **IT** is PESCO IT (Spencer is IT too, so "IT" here means the work done as host and domain admin, not in the app). **Eng** is Seth and engineering. **Q.C.** is the Q.C. department.
 
-The M: drive build had 20 layers of protection, most of them enforced in the browser. Every layer that still applies moves to the server. The rest are dropped or replaced.
+## Part 1: requirement IDs
+
+The IDs and the requirement wording are from Part 3 of the old SECURITY.md. The status follows [PLAN.md](PLAN.md), "SECURITY.md Part 3", with phase 10 applied.
+
+### Hosting and network
+
+| ID | Requirement | Status | Owner |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| H1 | Decide production hosting | Closed. Production and test each run natively on their own Linux VM inside the PESCO network, no Docker (Spencer, 2026-10-27, Gitea issue 37; built in phase 10, see "Hosts"). `docker-1` keeps CI, Gitea and the proxy. The VM names, addresses and size are still open on issue 37 (Spencer decides). | Dev + IT |
+| H2 | Internal-only hosting, no internet exposure | Closed, phase 0, kept in phase 10. Internal DNS only (`pescoinc.biz` AD-integrated zone). The app is reached only through Nginx Proxy Manager on `docker-1`. On the VMs, PostgreSQL listens on its local socket only, and an nftables rule written by `deploy/vm/install.sh` lets only NPM on `docker-1` reach the app port. Limiting SSH and anything else on the VMs is IT's. | IT |
+| H3 | HTTPS only, internal certificate, HSTS, TLS 1.2+ | Closed at the proxy, phase 0: NPM terminates TLS with the internal certificate, the app sends HSTS. The hop from NPM on `docker-1` to the VM crosses the LAN. Whether it is plain HTTP or TLS to the VM is open on Gitea issue 37 (Spencer decides). | IT |
+| H4 | Separate test and production environments | Closed, phase 0 (two stacks). Phase 10 moves them to two VMs, test first, so the test VM rehearses the production install, backups and restore. The `docker-1` test stack runs until the test VM is ready. The test stack never points at VISUAL production. | IT + Dev |
+| H5 | Server hardening and patching schedule | IT's: patching and hardening of both VMs, `docker-1` and the QNAP. The app's part is built: the services run as an unprivileged user under systemd hardening ([DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md), "Native VM install"). | IT |
+
+### Identity and sign-in
+
+| ID | Requirement | Status | Owner |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| I1 | Entra ID single sign-on for office users | Partly closed, phase 1: sign-in with the AD domain password. No SSO. Entra SSO is deferred; the session layer does not change if it comes. | Dev + IT |
+| I2 | MFA for office and IT accounts | Deferred (MFA with Entra). | IT |
+| I3 | Kiosk tablets: managed device, device certificate, PIN checked on the server | Closed for "PIN checked on the server", phase 1. Registered devices use a device cookie. No device certificate is planned (Spencer, 2026-10-18, Gitea issue 3). | Dev + IT |
+| I4 | Server-side lockout and rate limits on PIN attempts | Closed, phase 1. | Dev |
+| I5 | Separate IT admin accounts with MFA; second-admin approval to grant admin | Superseded for the app: there is no in-app admin grant, so second-admin approval has nothing to approve. Separate IT admin accounts with MFA remain IT's. | IT |
+| I6 | Joiner, mover, leaver; quarterly access review | App part closed, phase 9: roles only from AD groups; the nightly `ad-reconcile` marks disabled and gone users inactive, ends their sessions and flags employee ID problems; `session-refresh` re-reads every live session's groups and account state every 15 minutes and ends the sessions of anyone disabled, gone or left with no role. The quarterly access review is IT's. | IT + supervisors |
+| I7 | PIN re-entry (electronic signature) at sign-off steps, verified on the server | Closed, phase 1. | Dev |

+
+The brief's wording for the identity IDs, which the table follows: I4 and I7 are closed by this build. I8 is closed for the app's part. I6 is closed for the app's part by the AD groups, the nightly reconcile and the 15-minute role refresh, and the quarterly access review is still IT's. I3 is closed for "PIN checked on the server" and open for "managed device, device certificate". I1 is partly closed by AD sign-in. I5 is superseded.

Packet Station has no delete path for filed records, documents or the audit. At filing, the sealed data book, the packet's documents and a manifest are copied to the archive folder on the QNAP share (see "Archive"). No minimum period was set, because nothing is ever removed.

Phase 10 bumped pypdf to 6.21.4, certifi to 2026.10.23 and pyasn1 to 0.6.5, and the scan is clean. | Dev |

-## Part 2: the new build's controls
+## Part 3: the controls
+
+### Hosts (phase 10)
+
+- Production and test each run on their own Linux VM (Debian 12, the same base as the image), natively, with no Docker (Gitea issue 37). The test VM is built first from the same steps. The VMs do not exist yet. Their names, addresses and size are open on issue 37 (Spencer decides). Spencer runs every step that needs root.
+- The app, the worker and the one-shot migrate run as systemd services under the unprivileged service user `packetstation`, with systemd hardening (no new privileges, a read-only system, write access only to the folders they need). The exact unit settings are in `deploy/vm/` and [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md), "Native VM install".
+- PostgreSQL 16 runs on the same VM and listens on its local socket only. The roles are the same as in Docker (`ps_migrate`, `ps_app`).
+- NPM on `docker-1` (192.168.101.12) proxies `packetstation.pescoinc.biz` and `packetstation-test.pescoinc.biz` to their VMs over the LAN. The app trusts `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Forwarded-Proto` only from the host named by `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST` (see "Rate limits"), which is NPM's IP address on `docker-1` on the VMs.
+- Port 8000 (the app) answers only NPM and the VM itself: `install.sh` writes an nftables table from `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST` (which must be NPM's IP address), loaded by `packetstation-firewall.service`. Without it, a machine on the LAN could talk to the app without TLS. Nothing else is filtered by that table; limiting SSH to IT's machines is IT's.
+- The `docker-1` test stack keeps running until the test VM is ready, then it is stopped. CI stays on `docker-1` in Docker, with its own throwaway domain controller.
+- Host patching and hardening, disk encryption and the VM backups by Proxmox Backup Server are IT's (H5, D3, O1).
 
 ### Sessions (phase 1)

 - The session cookie token is stored only as an HMAC with the session key. The AD password is used for the bind and discarded.
 - The group-to-role map is derived from the department table and the `PS-` naming convention at startup. No screen edits it, so nobody can promote a group or themselves inside the app.
 - The browser reports hidden tabs and idle time; the server records `locked_since` and refuses a locked session with 423 until a step-up unlock. The server also locks a session itself when no request arrived for the lock interval (3 minutes, as the old build's screen lock; 60 for Admin and Clerical, issue 45), and when a tab stayed hidden for over a minute (the old build's background lock). A reload or an in-app navigation never locks.
+- A person can end their own other sessions on Account settings (password session, audited as `auth.signout_others`). An Admin has no button that ends another person's sessions. That is done in AD (see "Incident notes" in [GO-LIVE.md](GO-LIVE.md)).
 
 ### PIN (phase 1)
 
 - Optional, per user, set by the user in Account settings after a password sign-in. Setting or changing it needs the domain password in the same request.
-- 6 to 12 digits, hashed with Argon2id on the server. Never visible to Admin. Admin can clear a PIN (audited), not set one.
-- PIN sign-in uses the employee ID and works only on registered devices. Devices are registered by an Admin or a shop department Supervisor in a password session.
+- 6 to 12 digits, hashed with Argon2id on the server. Never visible to Admin. Admin can clear a PIN with a reason (audited as `pin.cleared`), not set one. Clearing a PIN does not end the person's sessions.
+- PIN sign-in uses the employee ID and works only on registered devices. Devices are registered by an Admin or a shop department Supervisor in a password session, on Account settings, "Register this device".
 - Five wrong PIN attempts in a row, across sign-in, unlock and signature, disable the PIN. Three wrong attempts at unlock or signature end the session. A guessed PIN never touches AD.
 - A PIN sign-in still checks AD with the service account: a disabled account, or one removed from every group, is refused.
-- The device cookie is a random token stored as an HMAC; revoking a device ends every PIN session on it.
+- The device cookie is a random token stored as an HMAC with the session key. Revoking a device on the Admin Devices tab ends every PIN session on it. A password session on the same device is not ended by the revoke.
 
 ### Rate limits (phase 1)
 
 - Checked before any bind to AD, so the app can never lock a domain account out.
 - Defaults: 5 failed password sign-ins per account per 5 minutes, then a 10-minute cooldown. 30 failed attempts per client address per 5 minutes. Successful sign-ins never count.
 - The domain's own lockout (20 attempts in 5 minutes) stays the last line. From phase 9 the limits can be changed on the Security tab, and the per-account limit is capped at 15, always under AD's 20.
-- The client address comes from `X-Forwarded-For` only when the request comes from `npm_app_1` itself, re-resolved on change. Other containers on `npm_default` are not trusted.
+- The client address comes from `X-Forwarded-For` only when the request comes from the host named by `TRUSTED_PROXY_HOST`, re-resolved every 60 seconds. In Docker that is `npm_app_1` itself; other containers on `npm_default` are not trusted. On the VMs it is the IP address of `docker-1`, where NPM runs.
 - A refused attempt answers 429 with `Retry-After`, is recorded as `rate_limited` and never counts toward the limits itself.
 - Failed sign-ins answer one message for an unknown account, a wrong password and a disabled account, so accounts cannot be enumerated. The audit and `signin_attempts` keep the real reason.

 - One policy in Python on the server (`server/packetstation/policy/`), pure functions with no I/O. Every write goes: session, policy, transition, validation, version check, packet log row, audit row, NOTIFY, in one transaction with the packet row locked. Nothing in the browser decides.

 - The type is read from the content, never from the file name or the browser's type. A drawing is a PDF. An MTR or a document is a PDF, PNG or JPEG. A BOM is an XLSX or a CSV. A wrong type for the kind is 415 `unsupported_type` with a message that names the allowed types.
 - An XLSX must be a zip that lists `[Content_Types].xml` and `xl/workbook.xml`; a plain zip is refused. A CSV has no magic, so it is accepted only as a BOM, and only when its first 64 KB decode as UTF-8 with no NUL and no control character other than tab, CR and LF.
 - Limits per kind: 25 MB (`upload_max_bytes`) for drawing, mtr and document, 5 MB (`upload_max_bytes_bom`) for a BOM. The Content-Length is checked first, then the bytes as they are read. Over the limit is 413 `too_large`.

 - Optional ClamAV (requirement D5). When `CLAMAV_HOST` is set, every upload and every file the worker stores (drawings from M-Files) is streamed to clamd with `zINSTREAM` after it is read in full and before it is deduped or placed. A hit is 422 `infected`, nothing is stored, and an `asset.rejected` audit row keeps the signature, size and type. A scanner that cannot be reached refuses the upload with 503 `scan_unavailable` (fail closed). With `CLAMAV_HOST` empty there is no scan. IT decided on 2026-10-18 (Gitea issue 19) to leave the scan off in both stacks: every workstation that uploads runs Microsoft Defender. Drawings the worker fetches from M-Files are not scanned on the way in. They come from PESCO's own vault.
-- Quota alert. After every stored file and in the housekeeping job, the assets volume usage is checked against `ASSETS_QUOTA_WARN_PCT` (85 by default).

Admin sees usage, the alert and the scanner on the Storage tab and can acknowledge an alert (`alert.acknowledged`). From phase 9 the alert and its "Cleared" notice are mailed through the `assets_quota` rule, to PS-Admins by default (Gitea issue 20).

+### Archive (phase 10)
+
+The archive closes D6 (Gitea issue 7). It is a copy of every filed packet on the QNAP share, outside Packet Station. Nothing in Packet Station is deleted because of it.
+
+- The share is mounted by NFS on the production VM at a fixed folder, `ARCHIVE_ROOT`. With `ARCHIVE_ROOT` unset the archive is off: the API says so, nothing is queued, and `doctor` reports SKIP. The mount, its owner and the export settings are in [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md). Spencer sets up the share and the mount.
+- An Admin picks the archive folder in the File locations section of the Admin page (setting `files.archive_dir`, versioned with compare and set like the security settings). The folder is a path under `ARCHIVE_ROOT`. The server refuses an empty path, `..`, an absolute path outside the root, a NUL, a path whose real location is outside the real root (a symlink out), and a folder that does not exist. It never creates folders.
+- "Check" writes a probe file in the folder, syncs it to disk, reads it back, compares it and deletes it. It shows the result, the resolved path and the free space. A save runs the same check first and is refused when it fails. `doctor` runs the check on the saved folder.
+- Every setting change (old and new value), every check (passed or not) and every copy (done or failed) writes an audit row. Admin writes need a password session and pass the Origin check, as every Admin write does.
+- At filing, FILE copies the sealed data book, every document of the packet and a `manifest.json` into `<project>/<unit>/<data book name>-seal<seal id>/`. The manifest names the packet, project, unit, seal id, seal hash, key id, who sealed and filed it and when, the build, and for every file its name, kind, sha256, size and source asset. Anyone can check the copy against the manifest without Packet Station.
+- Each file is written under a temporary name, synced and renamed. A different file is never overwritten; an identical file counts as done. Nothing in the archive is ever deleted by Packet Station. A refile after a reopen gets a new seal and a new folder, so both copies stay.
+- The copy must succeed before the packet counts as filed (Spencer, 2026-11-03, Gitea issue 57; open question 53 in [PLAN.md](PLAN.md)). FILE checks the folder and copies inside the filing transaction. A failed check or copy rolls the filing back, so the packet stays in its previous stage. The server then writes an `archive.filing_blocked` audit row and raises the critical Admin alert `archive_failed` for that packet, with who tried, the folder and the error. Filing it again once the archive works clears the alert.
+- When the archive is turned on later, the worker job `archive-copy` copies every earlier filing that has no copy yet. It runs every 15 minutes, retries a failed copy after 5, 15 and 60 minutes, then hourly, and raises `archive_failed` when a copy has failed 3 times or the folder check fails. "Retry now" on the File locations section asks for a run at once.
+- The archive is a plain copy outside the app's access control. The files are not encrypted by the app (D1 is deferred). Who can read or change the share, the NFS export rule (the production VM only), snapshots and the share's own backup are IT's.

+- The worker listens on no port. It reaches out to VISUAL, M-Files, AD, the mail relay and the archive share only; nothing reaches in. Admin and Clerical reach it only through rows in PostgreSQL (`job_requests`, the `feed` settings row) and NOTIFY.
 - It reads VISUAL through VisualKit as `visualkit_ro` and M-Files through MFilesKit as `mfileskitRO`. Both libraries are read-only in their own code. Nothing in Packet Station writes to either.
 - Stack guard at start and again before every feed run: the test stack refuses a production VISUAL target, production refuses an implicit one, and production refuses a fixture source.
 - One run per job at a time, by a PostgreSQL advisory lock per job name. Feed writes run in one transaction with a lock timeout and skip rows a person has locked.
 - Job errors are redacted (connection strings, `password=`, `Authorization:` and the VISUAL and M-Files passwords themselves) and cut to 20 entries of 500 characters before they are stored or shown.
 - Every feed write goes through the server policy as the system principal, which can take only the `vis_*` actions. Each one writes a packet log row and an audit row with role `system`. Each run writes a `feed.run` audit row with its counts, and each drawing fetch a `drawing.fetched` row with the sha256. Feed settings and resource map changes are audited with before and after.

 - The data book is built on the server inside the filing transaction and stored as an asset on the seal. A data book that cannot be built fails the filing; nothing is filed half way.
-- Filing while the feed shows a work order open in VISUAL needs a second confirmation. The work orders are kept on the seal and in the packet log.
+- Filing a VISUAL packet needs the feed's own observation that VISUAL closed every work order (change C5). It is a block, not a warning. The work orders are kept on the seal and in the packet log.
 - A reopen by Admin needs a reason and a signature. It marks the seal broken with who, when and why, and keeps the row and its data book. Filing again writes a new seal beside it.
 - The integrity job re-verifies every seal of a filed packet every night (see "Integrity job").
+- There is one seal key at a time. A seal made under an earlier key cannot be checked by the app after the key changes; the integrity job reports it as "sealed with another key". The rotation steps and their effect are in [GO-LIVE.md](GO-LIVE.md), "Incident notes".
 
 ### PDFs, prints and exports (phase 7)
 
 - Every PDF and the CSV are built on the server. The browser only opens the URL. Reads need a signed-in session; every role that can open the packet may read them, PM included.
 - Controlled-copy stamp (S7): every exported page carries `Controlled copy - exported by Name (emp) <UTC time>`, the seal's first 12 hex or `not yet filed`, and ` - stamp <sig>`. The filed data book is the stored copy, served as it was built.
 - Printed-copy stamp (S8): every printed page carries `PRINTED COPY - <what> - printed by Name (emp) <UTC time> - <project> Lot <unit> dwg <drawing> R<rev> - verify revision before use` and the stamp signature, in a white box at the bottom of the page.
-- Stamp signature: 16 hex of HMAC-SHA256 with the seal key over the packet, the kind (a printed copy signs `print:<kind>`, so a print and an export of the same thing in the same minute never share a signature), the seal hash, the user and the time. A copy can be checked against the server with `verify_stamp`; from phase 9 the Admin Stamp check tab does it from a pasted line or a PDF.
+- Stamp signature: 16 hex of HMAC-SHA256 with the seal key over the packet, the kind (a printed copy signs `print:<kind>`, so a print and an export of the same thing in the same minute never share a signature), the seal hash, the user and the time. A copy can be checked against the server with `verify_stamp`; from phase 9 the Admin Stamp check tab does it from a pasted line or a PDF, and from 2026-10-30 Q.C. and Clerical can too, on the Stamp check screen (Gitea issue 32, change C9).
 - Logging (S7, S8): every print and export writes one `print_log` row (who, when, session, packet, unit or ITP, kind, what, pages, the stamp line, the stamp signature, the client address) and one audit row (`print` or `export`). `print_log` is append-only: the app role has SELECT and INSERT only, and a trigger refuses updates, deletes and truncate.
 - CSV formula guard (S6): a cell that starts with `=`, `+`, `-`, `@`, a tab or a CR gets a leading `'`. A cell with a quote, a comma or a line break is quoted with the quotes doubled.
 - PDF metadata: title, subject and keywords name the packet and the stamp signature; Author is PESCO and Producer is Packet Station.
 - Output escaping (S5): every text drawn into a PDF goes through `clean` (control characters removed, characters outside Latin-1 replaced) and is XML-escaped where a Paragraph renders it, so data from VISUAL, M-Files or a person cannot inject markup.
 - Responses carry `Content-Disposition` (inline, or attachment with `?download=1`), `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` and `Cache-Control: no-store`. A print of a document checks that the asset belongs to the packet, its unit or project folder, or its filed data book; anything else is 404.
+- Prints go to the browser's print dialog from the page (change C4): the stamped PDF is rendered with the bundled pdf.js into a hidden print area. The stamped pages are the same as before.
 - The signed ITP PDF is built and filed in the sign-off transaction. A PDF that cannot be built fails the sign-off.
 
 ### Project Management, find bar and presence (phase 8)
 
-- Project Management reads only. Every endpoint under `/api/pm` is a GET and needs a signed-in session. Any role may read them, as any role may open any packet. The PM role passes no write action anywhere. The reports read PostgreSQL only, never VISUAL or M-Files.
+- Project Management reads only. Every endpoint under `/api/pm` is a GET and needs a PS-ProjectMgmt or Admin session; every other role is 403 (Gitea issue 33, change C10). The PM role passes no write action anywhere. The reports read PostgreSQL only, never VISUAL or M-Files.
 - Every PM export is built on the server and logged: one `print_log` row (kind `report-csv` or `report-pdf`, no packet, the scope label in `what`, the page count for the PDF) and one audit row with the action `report exported` and the detail `{name, format, scope, period}`. `print_log` stays append-only.
 - The PM CSV has the formula guard on every cell (S6), a BOM and CRLF line ends. The PDF report carries the controlled-copy stamp on every page and the PDF metadata. Both answer with `Content-Disposition`, `nosniff` and `no-store`, as the phase 7 exports do.
-- Filters never widen access. The search, the status, flag, station, worker and Mine filters are applied by the server inside each list's and board's own scope (a supervisor's departments, the stall's station). A filter can only narrow what the person may already read.

 - Search words are bound parameters, matched with ILIKE and the LIKE escape. A query keeps at most 8 words of at most 60 characters each. IDs are matched as text, never cast.
 - Mine is decided on the server from the person's AD roles and the screen they name. Nothing the browser keeps can widen it.
 - Presence shows the display name and the role only (the user id, screen, packet id and since travel with it). No employee ID, no email, no other personal data. The server builds it from the session, not from what the browser says about itself.

It lists the PacketStation OU, reports mapped groups missing from it and extra groups in it, reads every mapped group's members through `LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN` (nested) in pages of 500, and upserts users on their objectGUID.

AD is read first, then everything is written in one transaction.
 - A user disabled in AD, or gone from AD, is marked inactive and every session they have is ended (`ad_disabled`, `ad_gone`). A user still in AD but in no mapped group loses their roles and their sessions (`roles_lost`). Each ended session writes an `auth.session_ended` audit row with the reason and `by: ad-reconcile`.
 - Missing and duplicate employee IDs are flagged on the user (`directory_flags`) and listed on the Admin Profiles tab. A PIN sign-in by a duplicate employee ID is refused, as in phase 1.
 - Safety guard: the reconcile refuses and changes nothing when no mapped group is found in the OU (a wrong `LDAP_GROUP_BASE_DN`) or when every mapped group is empty while active users exist (PLAN.md open question 44). AD unreachable fails the run and changes nothing.
 - `session-refresh` runs every 15 minutes (the `roles_refresh_minutes` setting, 5 to 60). For every user with a live session it reads the account by objectGUID and its groups again, rebuilds the roles and each session's role snapshot, and ends the sessions of anyone disabled, gone or left with no role. AD unreachable makes the run degraded and ends nothing.
-- A request still re-reads the roles when its session's snapshot is older than the refresh interval, as in phase 1. Between the two, a person removed from a group loses the role within 15 minutes, and a person disabled in AD is signed out within 15 minutes.
+- A request still re-reads the roles when its session's snapshot is older than the refresh interval, as in phase 1. Between the two, a person removed from a group loses the role within 15 minutes, and a person disabled in AD is signed out within 15 minutes, or at once after "Refresh from AD now".

 ### Integrity job (phase 9)
 
-- `integrity` runs every night at 04:00 site time. It re-verifies every unbroken seal of a filed packet with the seal key (a seal under another key id is a finding), rehashes asset files (uploads of the last 7 days every night, every asset on Sundays) and records `hash_checked_at` and `hash_ok`, finds asset rows with no file and files under the assets volume with no asset row (older than an hour; reported, never deleted), and walks the audit hash chain.

 - Each finding is a row in the append-only `integrity_findings` (at most 500 per kind per run, the full count in the run). Any finding raises the `integrity_failure` alert, a security event that nobody can opt out of. A clean run clears it with a "Cleared" message. The Admin Security tab shows the last run and its findings.
 - A missing seal key makes the run degraded and leaves the seals unchecked, never "clean".
+- To run it at once, outside the schedule: `sudo ps-run job run integrity` on the VM (`ps-run` runs a `packetstation` command as the service user with the stack's settings; see [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md)), or `POST /api/jobs/integrity/run` as an Admin in a password session. The Admin page has no button for it.

It dumps each stack with `pg_dump -Fc` inside the postgres container over the local socket (no password read or passed), checks each dump with `pg_restore --list`, keeps 7, and writes `last-success` or `last-failure`.
-- The roles are dumped with `--no-role-passwords`. A password hash in a file is an offline cracking target, and the file lands in PBS. The restore script refuses a globals file that holds a password hash. The role passwords stay in the stack secrets.
-- Dumps and globals are mode 0600. The production folder is `root:10001` 0750, so only root and the worker (read-only mount) see it.
+- Stamp check (Gitea issue 32, change C9): `POST /api/stamp-verify` and `/api/stamp-verify/pdf` (and the `/api/admin` aliases) are for Admin, every Q.C. role and every Clerical role, in a password session. A PIN session is 403 `password_session_required`; every other role is 403. Each check is audited (`admin.stamp_verified`). The seal key never leaves the server, and the check never trusts the pasted text.
+- Project Management (Gitea issue 33, change C10): every `/api/pm/*` endpoint, the CSV and PDF exports included, is for PS-ProjectMgmt and Admin only. Tests try every endpoint as Clerical, worker, Q.C., Warehouse and shop supervisor and expect 403.
+- Department checklists (Gitea issue 23, change C8): any session reads them. A save needs that department's Supervisor or an Admin, in a password session (a PIN session is 403 `password_session_required`), with the version it started from. A lead, Q.C. and the office roles cannot save. Each save writes an audit row `checklists.dept_updated` with the list before and after. A stage keeps the list frozen at its START, so an edit cannot change what an open stage must tick.
+- Short approvals (Gitea issue 18, change C7): the department supervisor approves each receipt with a signature. `short_approvals` is append-only (triggers, and `ps_app` has SELECT and INSERT only), one row per receipt by a unique key.
+- Filing (Gitea issues 25 and 31, changes C3 and C5): FILE needs the unit's ITP complete and, on a VISUAL packet, the feed's own observation that VISUAL closed every work order. Clerical cannot mark a VISUAL packet closed by hand. Neither can be bypassed, Admin included.
+- Q.C. (Gitea issue 24, change C2): a reject always needs a reason of 8 characters; the accept after a reject without an NCR number needs one, checked by pattern on the server.
+- The data book without the history pages (D7; Gitea issue 8, change C6): the one data book goes to the customer and leaves out the packet log. The history stays in Packet Station, readable by anyone who can open the packet, and in the audit.
+- The Stall screen (Gitea issue 36, change C11): `/api/stall/mine` lists only the packets assigned to the signed-in person. The request names no station; the session decides.

+### Backups (phase 9, rewritten for the VMs in phase 10)
+
+- A nightly backup script runs as root from a systemd timer at 02:00 Denver time, an hour before the Proxmox Backup Server run. It dumps the database with `pg_dump -Fc` over the local socket, with no password read or passed, checks each dump with `pg_restore --list`, keeps 7, and writes a `last-success` or `last-failure` marker. On the VMs it runs as the postgres OS user, with no `docker exec`. The `docker-1` test stack keeps the Docker version until it is stopped. The scripts and the install steps are in `scripts/` and [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md).
+- The roles are dumped with `--no-role-passwords`. A password hash in a file is an offline cracking target, and the file lands in PBS. The restore script refuses a globals file that holds a password hash. The role passwords stay in the secret files.
+- Dumps and globals are mode 0600. The backup folder is closed to other users; the worker only reads it.
+- The assets folder, the env file and the secret files are not in the dump. The PBS backup of the VM covers them (IT's). IT also keeps a copy of the secret files apart from the VM, so a restore onto a new VM does not depend on the old one. Without the seal key, the seals and stamps cannot be checked after a restore.
 - The worker's `backup-check` job raises `backup_stale` when the newest dump is missing, empty, older than 26 hours, or followed by a failure.
-- The restore was rehearsed on the test stack on 2026-10-21 into a separate database: every table's row count matched and all 189 asset files matched their recorded sha256 ([DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md), "Restore rehearsal 2026-10-21").

 ### Dependency scanning (phase 9)
 
 - Every CI run scans the dependencies. `pip-audit` (pinned, in its own virtual environment) checks every pin in `server/requirements.txt` without resolving and fails on any known vulnerability, which is stricter than high or critical. `npm audit --audit-level=high` fails on a high or critical finding in the frontend, dev dependencies included.
 - `visualkit` and `mfileskit` come from PESCO's own index and are not audited. Their dependencies that we install are pinned in `requirements.txt` and are.
 - No finding is ignored. If one ever has no fix, the way out is `--ignore-vuln <ID>` with a comment and a date.
-- The first scan (2026-10-21) found `pypdf` 6.21.0 (GHSA-5hx5-vpf9-5wcv) and `certifi` 2026.7.22 (PYSEC-2026-4320). Both were bumped. This closes S3.

-- The app sets HSTS, CSP and the other security headers itself. NPM's own HSTS is off.
-- The CSP allows nothing external. It is tuned again in phase 10.
+- The app sets HSTS, CSP and the other security headers itself (`server/packetstation/security.py`). NPM's own HSTS is off.
+- Other headers: `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `Referrer-Policy: same-origin` (not `no-referrer`, under which Firefox sends `Origin: null` and the Origin check refuses it), `Permissions-Policy` with camera, microphone and geolocation off, `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin`, and `Cache-Control: no-store` on every API answer.
+- The CSP allows nothing external: `default-src 'self'`, `script-src 'self'`, `style-src 'self'`, `img-src 'self' blob:`, `font-src 'self'`, `connect-src 'self'`, `worker-src 'self'`, `frame-src 'none'`, `object-src 'none'`, `frame-ancestors 'none'`, `base-uri 'self'`, `form-action 'self'`.
+- The phase 10 pass tightened it. `style-src` has no `'unsafe-inline'`: React style props and pdf.js set CSSOM properties, which CSP allows, and pdf.js adds fonts through the FontFace API. `img-src` dropped `data:` and keeps `blob:` for the page images the print path draws. `worker-src` dropped `blob:`, since the pdf.js worker is a file from the build. `frame-src 'none'` and `object-src 'none'` were added: PDFs are drawn on a canvas by pdf.js, never in a frame.
+- One exception: a PDF opened in its own tab gets the same policy with `object-src 'self'`, because Chrome checks the PDF's own URL against `object-src` and would show a blank tab. The PDF runs none of the app's script. `security.py` is the record, with a comment on each directive.
+- The Playwright bench fails a test on any CSP violation, so a page that breaks the policy fails CI.

-- Docker secrets only. Production: files under `/etc/packetstation/prod/secrets`, owner `root:10001`, mode `0440`. Test: files under `/home/spencerm/packetstation/test/secrets`, mode `0444`, behind two `0750` folders owned by spencerm (Gitea issue 38).
-- Read through `*_PASSWORD_FILE` settings. MFilesKit's password is exported by the entrypoint from its secret file.
-- Never in the repo, `.env`, logs or chat. See [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md).
+- `GET /api/version` reports the build. A screen remembers the build it loaded and asks again when the window gets focus, when the event stream reconnects, and every 5 minutes.
+- When the build changed, a banner across the top says "Packet Station was updated. Reload to get the new version." with a Reload button. The screen never reloads by itself, so an open form is not lost. The server rules apply to every request whatever build the screen is on, so an old screen can never do more than the server allows.

-| S5 | Closed, phase 2 (React escapes output; server messages are plain text); phase 7 adds escaping in the PDF builders |
-| S6 | Closed, phase 7 (the CSV formula guard on every export) |
-| S7 | Closed, phase 7 (the controlled-copy stamp on every exported PDF, signed with the seal key; PDF metadata; every export logged in `print_log` and the audit) |
-| S8 | Closed, phase 7 (the PRINTED COPY stamp with "verify revision before use" on every printed page, signed with the seal key; every print logged in `print_log` and the audit). PLAN.md lists S8 under phase 5, but the print stamps come with the PDFs in phase 7, so S8 closes there. |
-| O1, O2 | Closed, phase 9 (nightly `pg_dump` of each stack at 02:00 Denver time from a systemd timer, checked with `pg_restore --list`, 7 kept, before the 03:00 PBS run of the VM; the `backup-check` job alerts on a missing, empty, stale or failed backup; restore rehearsed on the test stack on 2026-10-21 with every row count and asset hash matching); quarterly restore test IT's |
-| O3, O4 | Closed, phase 10 |
-| O5 | Superseded (no migration; M: retired read-only) |
-
-The brief's wording for the identity IDs, which the table above follows:
-
-- **I4 and I7** (PIN lockout, PIN signatures verified on the server) are closed by this build.
-- **I8** is closed for the app's part. The kiosk device lock policy in I8 is IT's, via Intune or GPO.
-- **I6** (joiner, mover, leaver) is closed for the app's part by the AD groups, the nightly reconcile and the 15-minute role refresh. The quarterly access review is still IT's.
-- **I3** is closed for "PIN checked on the server" and open for "Intune-managed, device certificate". Registered devices use a device cookie for now.
-- **I1** is partly closed by AD sign-in. There is no SSO yet.
-- **I5** is superseded. No in-app admin grant exists, so second-admin approval has nothing to approve. Separate IT admin accounts with MFA remain IT's.
-
-Out of scope for this build, with hooks left: writing to VISUAL or M-Files (never), Entra ID sign-in and MFA (I1, I2), envelope encryption with Key Vault (D1, D2), true `.xlsx` exports, scheduled report emails.
+- On the VMs: root-owned files in `/etc/packetstation/secrets/`, readable by the service group only, read through the `*_PASSWORD_FILE`, `SESSION_KEY_FILE` and `SEAL_KEY_FILE` settings. A small launcher exports MFilesKit's password as `MFILES_PASSWORD` from its file, as the image's entrypoint does. Settings without secrets are in `/etc/packetstation/packetstation.env`.
+- In Docker (CI, and the test stack on `docker-1` until the test VM is ready): Docker secrets. Test: files under `/home/spencerm/packetstation/test/secrets`, mode `0444`, behind two `0750` folders owned by spencerm (Gitea issue 38).
+- The secrets: the PostgreSQL role passwords, the `visualkit_ro`, `mfileskitRO` and `svc-packetstation` passwords, the session key (session and device tokens) and the seal key (seals and stamps). Each key is at least 16 characters; a shorter one is refused at start.
+- Never in the repo, an env file, a log or chat. See [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md) for the files and [GO-LIVE.md](GO-LIVE.md), "Incident notes", for rotation.

It installs it and validates it before anything is bound. The validation checks the key provider and KeySpec from the certificate's own key property, the key size, the signature, the dates, the EKU, and the SAN DNS names as whole names. It grants only the selected instances' service accounts read on the private key, then binds the thumbprint and reads it back.

-- `-CerFile` continues a request that was pending. `-Thumbprint` binds a certificate already installed. `-Instances` limits the run (`DEV`, `MSSQLSERVER`). `-RestartInstances` restarts them and starts SQL Server Agent again if it ran. The running dependents are written to `dependents-<service>.json` before the stop and the file is removed once they run again, so after a failed restart the next restart of that service starts them too.
-- Each deployment writes a new `deploy-<time>.json` in `C:\ProgramData\PacketStation\vsql-cert` with the values it replaced. Instances already bound to the thumbprint are left alone and get no snapshot, so a rerun never hides the useful one. A pending request writes `request-<time>.json` with its request id. A registry value that cannot be read stops the run; only a value confirmed absent is saved as absent.
-- `-Rollback` restores the newest snapshot not yet rolled back, each instance on its own, verified by reading back, and records it in `rollback-<time>.json` with which restarts succeeded. A snapshot stays open while an instance is unrestored or its restart failed, so `-Rollback -RestartInstances` again retries exactly those. `-Snapshot` picks another. Failures are listed and the run exits with an error.
-- Instances are read from the value names of `Instance Names\SQL`, so a name starting with `PS` (for example `PSREPORTING`) is found.

-<#
-.SYNOPSIS
-Requests a SQL Server TLS certificate for vsql from PESCO-PSYLOCKE-CA and binds it to the instances.
-
-.DESCRIPTION
-Run on the SQL Server host (the machine behind vsql.pesco.com) in an elevated PowerShell, as a
-domain account that may enroll from the chosen template. Works on Windows PowerShell 5.1 and
-PowerShell 7. Steps:
-
-1. Resolve the SQL Server instances to configure and their service accounts. Unknown names
-   in -Instances are an error, nothing is touched.
-2. Write a certreq INF with what SQL Server requires (Microsoft certificate requirements):
-   a legacy CryptoAPI provider, Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider, with KeySpec
-   AT_KEYEXCHANGE; RSA 2048; SHA-256; Server Authentication EKU; key usage digital signature
-   and key encipherment; subject CN=vsql.pesco.com; subject alternative names vsql.pesco.com,
-   vsql, the host FQDN and short name; machine store; exportable.
-3. certreq -new, -submit and -accept, each confirmed through ShouldProcess. A pending request
-   is saved in its own request-<time>.json; issue it on the CA, retrieve it, then rerun with
-   -CerFile (or -Thumbprint once installed).
-4. Validate the installed certificate before anything is bound: a private key from a CSP
-   (provider type 12) with KeySpec AT_KEYEXCHANGE, read from the certificate's own key
-   provider property; 2048 bits or more; SHA-256 family signature; valid for 30 more days;
-   Server Authentication EKU; digital signature and key encipherment if key usage is set;
-   every required DNS name, decoded from the SAN extension and compared as whole names.
-5. Grant the selected instances' service accounts read on the private key. A declined or
-   failed grant cancels the run before any instance is changed.
-6. Instances already bound to this thumbprint are left alone. For the others, save their
-   current Certificate values in a new deploy-<time>.json (never overwritten), then bind the
-   thumbprint (the registry value SQL Server Configuration Manager sets) and read it back.
-   ForceEncryption is left as it is. A failure restores every instance changed in this run,
-   each on its own, verified.
-7. Print the restart commands, or restart with -RestartInstances (a short VISUAL outage).
-   Services that depend on the instance (SQL Server Agent) are started again if they ran.
-
--WhatIf previews every step without changing anything. -Confirm asks before each change.
--Rollback restores a saved deployment snapshot.
-
-.PARAMETER CertificateAuthority
-CA config string host\name. Default DC-02.PESCO.COM\PESCO-PSYLOCKE-CA.
-
-.PARAMETER Template
-Certificate template name. Default WebServer. The template must allow Server Authentication
-and must not force a Key Storage Provider.
-
-.PARAMETER DnsNames
-Names the certificate must carry. The first is the subject CN. The host FQDN and short name
-are always added.
-
-.PARAMETER Instances
-Instance names to configure (MSSQLSERVER for the default instance, DEV for vsql\DEV).
-Default: every instance on this host.
-
-.PARAMETER CerFile
-Continue from an issued certificate file (after a pending request was issued and retrieved).
-
-.PARAMETER Thumbprint
-Continue from a certificate already in the machine store; skips the request.
-
-.PARAMETER RestartInstances
-Restart each configured instance so the certificate (or the rollback) takes effect.
-
-.PARAMETER Rollback
-Restore the Certificate values saved by a deployment snapshot and stop. Each instance is
-restored on its own and read back; only verified instances count as restored. The default
-snapshot is the newest one with instances not yet restored (a rollback-<time>.json records
-what was restored), so each -Rollback steps back one deployment. Run it with -WhatIf first
-to see which one it picks.
-
-.PARAMETER Snapshot
-With -Rollback: the snapshot file (name or path) to restore instead of the default.

 # Backup and restore
 
-Host scripts for docker-1. They run outside the app, so a broken app still backs up.
+Scripts for the native VMs (production and test). They run outside the app, so a broken app still backs up. `deploy/vm/install.sh` installs them; the steps and the restore procedure are in [docs/DEPLOY.md](../../docs/DEPLOY.md), "Backups on a VM" and "Restore on a VM".
 
-| File | What it is |
-|---|---|
-| `ps-backup.sh` | Nightly `pg_dump -Fc` of each stack's database plus `pg_dumpall --globals-only --no-role-passwords`, checked with `pg_restore --list`, 7 kept, `last-success` and `last-failure` markers. |
-| `ps-restore.sh` | Restores a dump into a fresh database, applies the globals, copies assets into a volume, checks asset hashes, prints row counts. |
-| `packetstation-backup.service` | systemd oneshot that runs `ps-backup.sh` as root. |
-| `packetstation-backup.timer` | 02:00 America/Denver every day, `Persistent=true`. |
-| `backup.conf.example` | The stack list for `/etc/packetstation/backup.conf`. |

+|---|---|---|
+| `ps-backup.sh` | `/usr/local/sbin/ps-backup` | Nightly `pg_dump -Fc` plus `pg_dumpall --globals-only --no-role-passwords`, as the postgres OS user on the local socket. Checked with `pg_restore --list`, 7 kept, `last-success` and `last-failure` markers. |
+| `ps-restore.sh` | `/usr/local/sbin/ps-restore` | Restores a dump into a fresh database, applies the globals, copies stored files into an assets folder without overwriting, checks every file's sha256 against the database, prints row counts. |
+| `packetstation-backup.service` | `/etc/systemd/system/` | Oneshot as root, sandboxed, writes only `/var/backups/packetstation`. |

-Test: `tests/server/test_backup_scripts.py` runs `ps-backup.sh` with a fake `docker` on PATH.
+Tests: `tests/server/test_backup_scripts.py` runs both scripts with fake PostgreSQL tools (`PG_BINDIR`) and a fake user switch (`PG_AS`).
 
 ## What a backup is
 
-In each stack's folder (`/var/backups/packetstation/prod`, `/home/spencerm/packetstation/test/backups`):
+In `/var/backups/packetstation` (root:packetstation 0750):
 
 - `ps-<UTC stamp>.dump`: the app database, custom format. Mode 0600.
 - `ps-<UTC stamp>.globals.sql`: the roles, without passwords. Mode 0600.
-- `last-success`, `last-failure`: one line, `<ISO UTC time> <dump name>` (a failure adds the reason). Mode 0644. The worker's backup-check job compares their modification times.
+- `last-success`, `last-failure`: one line, `<ISO UTC time> <dump name>` (a failure adds the reason). Mode 0644. The worker's backup-check job reads them through the folder's group.
 
-Each dump is written under a temporary name (`.ps-….partial`), checked, then renamed. A failed run leaves no partial file and writes `last-failure`. The script tries every stack and exits 1 if any failed, 2 for a usage or config error.
+Each dump is written under a temporary name (`.ps-….partial`), checked, then renamed. A failed run leaves no partial file and writes `last-failure`. Exit 1 if any stack failed, 2 for a usage or config error.
 
-The script connects inside the postgres container as `postgres` over the local socket, which the image trusts. It reads no password.
+Not in the dump: the stored files (`/var/lib/packetstation/assets`), `/etc/packetstation` (env file, secrets, CA) and the archive share. The PBS backup of the VM covers the first two; the archive is on the QNAP.
 
-Why `--no-role-passwords`: a password hash in a backup file is something to crack offline, and the file also lands in the PBS copy of the VM. The role passwords are in the stack's secrets already. On a fresh volume `deploy/postgres/initdb/01-roles.sh` creates the roles with them. On an existing cluster the roles are already there.
+## The docker-1 test stack
 
-Ownership: run as root, the new files take the owner and group of the stack's folder, so the test folder stays spencerm's. The worker mounts the folder read-only as uid 10001. It only needs to list the folder and stat the dumps, plus read the markers, so dumps can stay 0600.
-
-## Install (Spencer, with sudo, on docker-1)
-
-Copy the files from the synced checkout in `~/packetstation/repo`. The installed copies are root's, so a later sync of the checkout does not change what root runs.
-
-```bash
-cd ~/packetstation/repo
-sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 scripts/backup/ps-backup.sh  /usr/local/sbin/ps-backup.sh
-sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 scripts/backup/ps-restore.sh /usr/local/sbin/ps-restore.sh
-sudo install -d -o root -g root -m 0755 /etc/packetstation
-sudo install -o root -g root -m 0644 scripts/backup/backup.conf.example /etc/packetstation/backup.conf
-sudo install -o root -g root -m 0644 scripts/backup/packetstation-backup.service /etc/systemd/system/
-sudo install -o root -g root -m 0644 scripts/backup/packetstation-backup.timer   /etc/systemd/system/
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-sudo systemd-analyze verify /etc/systemd/system/packetstation-backup.service
-sudo systemctl enable --now packetstation-backup.timer
-systemctl list-timers packetstation-backup.timer       # next run 08:00 or 09:00 UTC, 02:00 in Denver
-sudo systemctl start packetstation-backup.service      # one run now
-journalctl -u packetstation-backup.service -n 20 --no-pager
-ls -la ~/packetstation/test/backups
-```

-```bash
-sudo install -d -o root -g root  -m 0755 /var/backups/packetstation
-sudo install -d -o root -g 10001 -m 0750 /var/backups/packetstation/prod
-sudoedit /etc/packetstation/backup.conf                 # uncomment the prod line
-sudo systemctl start packetstation-backup.service
-```
-
-Group 10001 lets the production worker (uid 10001, group 10001) list the folder and read the markers. Its `stack.env` sets `BACKUP_DIR=/var/backups/packetstation/prod`.
-
-After changing a script in the repo, install it again with the same `install` line.
-
-## Run by hand
-
-As spencerm (in the docker group), against the test stack:
-
-```bash
-scripts/backup/ps-backup.sh --stack test project:packetstation-test packetstation /home/spencerm/packetstation/test/backups
-```
-
-`--stack NAME CONTAINER DATABASE FOLDER` can repeat. CONTAINER is a container name or `project:<compose project>`. `--keep N` (or `KEEP=N`) changes the 7.
-
-## Restore
-
-The script never stops, restarts or reconfigures a stack. Restore into a new database, check it, then decide how to switch.
-
-```bash
-B=/home/spencerm/packetstation/test/backups
-D=$(ls $B/ps-*.dump | tail -1)
-
-# 1. Into a fresh database (refuses an existing one; --replace drops it first, and DROP refuses while anyone is connected).
-ps-restore.sh --project packetstation-test --dump "$D" --globals "${D%.dump}.globals.sql" --db ps_restored
-
-# 2. Assets: from a folder or a tar (for example a file-level restore out of PBS of the assets volume).
-#    Existing files are never overwritten. Files end up owned by 10001:10001.
-ps-restore.sh --project packetstation-test --assets /path/to/assets.tar --assets-volume packetstation-test_assets
-
-# 3. Check every asset row's sha256 against the files in the volume.
-ps-restore.sh --project packetstation-test --verify-assets --db ps_restored --assets-volume packetstation-test_assets
-
-# Row counts of any database, for comparing.
-ps-restore.sh --project packetstation-test --counts-only --db packetstation
-```
-
-To put the restored database into service, stop the app and worker of that stack, rename the databases as `postgres` (`ALTER DATABASE packetstation RENAME TO packetstation_old; ALTER DATABASE ps_restored RENAME TO packetstation;`), start the stack again, and drop the old one once the app is checked. That step is deliberate and manual.
-
-The globals file holds no passwords. If a role had to be created from it on a new cluster, set its password from the stack's secret file with `\password` in psql, or start the stack on an empty volume so initdb creates the roles.
+These scripts no longer talk to Docker. The docker-1 test stack keeps the copies installed in `/usr/local/sbin/ps-backup.sh` and `ps-restore.sh` (the phase 9 versions, in git history up to commit 3fdf063) until it is stopped. Do not install the new scripts on docker-1: its `backup.conf` has the old four-column format, which the new script refuses.
