Live re-run: the per-image systemctl start/stop docker cycles tripped systemd's
start rate limit after three fast pushes — "Start request repeated too
quickly / start-limit-hit" — and the fourth image (the paper base) silently
never reached the registry while the installer aborted. docker.service is
socket-triggered, so every cycle counts against the burst limit twice.
push_images_to_registry now starts docker once for the whole batch and stops it
once at the end; push_image_to_registry itself no longer touches systemd.
bootstrap_test.sh pins the wrap (exactly one start, one stop, four pushes).
Same class as 765a892, same table-level amnesia: [archive] retention /
warn_before / max_local_bytes are the reaper's runtime knobs (read from the
config Secret at job time; built-ins 90d / 3d,1d / no cap), and write_felis_toml
rewrote the whole table as store+local_path on every re-run. An operator who
narrowed the retention window silently got the 90d built-in back.
persisted_archive_block carries the three keys forward; store and local_path
stay installer-owned (FELIS_ARCHIVE_LOCAL_PATH must equal the mount the render
passes). Extends the bootstrap_test carry case with the archive keys and the
installer-owned exclusion.
§15's upgrade path is "re-run the installer", but write_felis_toml rewrote the
[registry] table from scratch — url + build_namespace only. Everything else an
operator put there (the §8e build-lane executor mirrors, the resource caps, the
uploads backend stamped by the storage wizard, [registry.s3]) was silently
reverted on every re-run: builds went back to the denied upstream executors and
an S3-backed install flipped to local storage, with nothing pointing at why.
Found while landing the registry-hosting work, which depends on those same
keys surviving.
- persisted_registry_block carries the operator-owned [registry] keys and the
[registry.s3] subtable forward, same first-readable-file rule as
persisted_smtp_block; url/build_namespace stay installer-owned (they must
match REGISTRY_URL/BUILD_NS, so a stale value must NOT survive).
- The s3 subtable header is re-emitted with its keys, so nothing carried lands
as an unknown key under [registry].
- bootstrap_test.sh pins the carry, the installer-owned exclusion, and
idempotence (a second re-run writes a byte-identical file).
