The legend said "§12 lists the one field this still applies to", but the last
inert field (spec.storage.retainOnDelete) was removed rather than implemented
(§13), and §12 has said "every field below is read by a controller" since.
Reworded so a reader whose change looks ignored follows the condition question
instead of hunting for a dead field.
Provisioning is create-if-absent, so a field the desired spec gained after an
install (spec.rcon, spec.startup.healthHTTPPort, a derived env key) never
reaches the existing login/lobby CR while every re-run of setup reports
success — the reported 'configuration updates never reach an installed
deployment' symptom. converge is the explicit pass: it fills exactly the
zero-valued whitelist fields and the derived env (including a missing key,
which refreshDerivedEnv deliberately never adds), and never overwrites a
non-zero value. The timing stays with the operator because enabling RCON or
the HTTP readiness gate on a pre-listener image would wedge that server in
Starting until it was marked Failed.
Tests: fills predated fields while operator edits survive / non-zero values
left alone / absent + foreign + unset-image guards. usage table updated so the
router-parity test passes; troubleshooting gains §12b.
On a completed install 'felis setup' never re-runs the installer: its host-bootstrap phase only runs while an install marker is missing, so it opens the config console and moves no component. Live on the audit box, a clean 'felis setup' run left /opt/felis/velocity/velocity.jar's mtime and hash untouched while an installer re-run logged 'resolving the newest Velocity 3.5.1 build'. The 'felis update' guidance was wrong three ways accordingly: 'run: sudo felis setup' for panel/velocity/plugins, the 'felis setup is idempotent and re-runs the installer' trailer, and the felis-api-only exception block, whose scoping taught the same false model for velocity.
Point every planner-backed selector at the tested path -- re-running the installer (the README's install one-liner) -- and replace the scoped caveat with one trailer: the channel is not persisted (pass FELIS_VERSION_BOOTSTRAP=dev on a host that tracks main), the private repo's one-liner needs the README's token'd form, and 'felis setup is not this path'. troubleshooting.md SS15 drops the same false alternative and gains the channel caveat.
Gates: gofmt, go vet, go test ./..., deploy/bootstrap_test.sh all clean. Green live (v0.0.0+fix54 installed to /usr/local/bin over the fix52 backup, sha 0bd49467...): --panel and --velocity print the installer one-liner plus the single trailer, --mc stays command-free, --all prints the trailer once.
Both the §8e mirror recipe and the §13b re-mirror step run docker tag/push,
and a fresh install (or re-run) ends with the daemon stopped. One line each so
the runbook does not fail on 'Cannot connect to the Docker daemon'.
