 For v0.2, one node must be the CA holder (`orca cert init` was run
 on it). The CA holder's `ca.crt` is copied to each peer manually by
 the operator; peers do not auto-fetch it.
+
+## v0.6 Architecture Addendum — Node Bootstrap & Proxmox
+
+### `orca init` Full Bootstrap (REQ-047, REQ-048, REQ-049)
+
+`orca init` transforms from a bare `mkdir` into a full single-node
+cluster bootstrap. The sequence (idempotent per D-036):
+
+```
+orca init
+  1. MkdirAll(certpaths.Dir(), 0o755)              # namespace dir
+  2. store.Open(certpaths.DBPath())                # runs migrations 0001..0006
+  3. security.CAInit(dir, "orca-internal-ca")      # idempotent fast-path
+  4. if !exists(server.crt):
+       GenerateCSR("localhost", ["localhost","127.0.0.1"])
+       ca.SignCSR(csr) → WriteCert + WriteKey      # server cert (skip if present)
+  5. os := detectOS()                              # /etc/os-release ID=
+  6. node := Node{kind:"localhost", os:os, name:"localhost", addr:"localhost:8443"}
+     if GetByName("localhost") exists:
+       UpdateLastSeenAndOS(id, os)                 # refresh, keep id/joined_at
+     else:
+       NodeRepo.Insert(node)                       # first-run insert
+  7. print summary (CA fp, server cert fp, os, node id)
+```
+
+After `orca init`, `orca doctor` MUST pass with zero FAILs.
+
+### Node Schema Extension (REQ-049)
+
+Migration 0006 adds two nullable columns to `nodes`:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE nodes ADD COLUMN kind TEXT;  -- localhost | linux | proxmox
+ALTER TABLE nodes ADD COLUMN os TEXT;    -- ubuntu | debian | alpine | pve | linux
+```
+
+Existing rows get SQL NULL → mapped to `""` in Go (`sql.NullString`).
+`Node` struct gains `Kind string` + `OS string` fields (JSON tags
+`kind,omitempty` / `os,omitempty`). `NodeRepo` extends all
+INSERT/SELECT/scanNode calls; adds `GetByName(ctx, name)` and
+`UpdateLastSeenAndOS(ctx, id, os)` helpers.
+
+### Proxmox SSH Bootstrap (REQ-050, REQ-051)
+
+```
+orca node join --type proxmox --host <addr> --user root --password <pw>
+  │ password from --password or $ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD (never persisted, D-031)
+  ▼
+internal/proxmox.BootstrapProxmox(ctx, opts)
+  1. GenerateOrLoadSSHKey(certpaths.Dir())         # Ed25519, ~/.orca/orca_ssh_key{,.pub}
+  2. SSH dial (password auth, knownhosts.New TOFU) # capture host key on first connect
+  3. Deploy pubkey → ~orca/.ssh/authorized_keys    # via session heredoc (no SFTP dep)
+  4. useradd -m orca                                # create Linux system user (config-overridable name)
+  5. pveum role add OrcaOperator --privs "VM.Audit Datastore.AllocateSpace SDN.Use"
+     (idempotent: probe pveum role list first)
+  6. pveum user add orca@pam -comment "Orca automation user"
+     (idempotent: probe pveum user list first)
+  7. pveum acl modify / -user orca@pam -role OrcaOperator
+     (idempotent: modify creates or updates)
+  8. Write /etc/sudoers.d/orca (mode 0440):
+       orca ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: NOEXEC: /usr/bin/pct, /usr/bin/qm
+       orca ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg
+  9. visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/orca                 # validate; abort on error
+  10. NodeRepo.Insert(Node{kind:"proxmox", os:"pve", name:host, addr:host})
+  11. Audit log: proxmox.bootstrap_ok (host, user, role, fp)
+```
+
+**`pvesh` excluded from sudoers** — `pvesh` can trigger the API
+`/nodes/{node}/execute` endpoint which spawns shell commands
+server-side, bypassing sudo's `NOEXEC` tag. API access is via the
+`OrcaOperator` PVE role + `orca@pam` user (PVE RBAC), not sudo'd `pvesh`.
+
+### Doctor Extensions (REQ-052)
+
+- **`doctor os`**: re-runs `detectOS()` from `/etc/os-release`, compares
+  to the stored localhost node's `os` field. Drift = WARN (OS upgraded
+  since init? re-run `orca init` to refresh). Match = PASS.
+- **`doctor proxmox`**: iterates `kind=proxmox` nodes, SSH-probes each
+  with `pveversion` (3s timeout per peer, clones `doctor.Network()`
+  pattern). PASS = reachable + pveversion exits 0. WARN = zero proxmox
+  nodes (single-node cluster is legitimate). FAIL = any node
+  unreachable or pveversion fails.
+
+### SSH Key Handling (D-037)
+
+- **Location**: `~/.orca/orca_ssh_key` (0600) + `~/.orca/orca_ssh_key.pub` (0644)
+- **Algorithm**: Ed25519 (smaller, faster, more secure than RSA for SSH)
+- **Generation**: lazy — on first `orca node join --type proxmox`, NOT at `orca init` (localhost doesn't need SSH)
+- **Format**: PKCS8 PEM (consistent with `ca.key`/`server.key`; `ssh.ParsePrivateKey` accepts it)
+- **TOFU host keys**: `~/.orca/known_hosts` (OpenSSH format via `knownhosts.New`)
+
+### Dependency Map (v0.6 addition)
+
+```
+golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0        # SSH (ssh + ssh/knownhosts + ed25519)
+  └─ golang.org/x/sys v0.47.0      # indirect (bumped from v0.42.0)
+  └─ golang.org/x/term v0.45.0     # indirect (pulled by ssh for PTY)
+```
+
+Total direct deps: 5 (was 4). One new direct dep (`x/crypto`). Matches
+D-030 minimal-deps rationale. No SFTP module (file upload via session
+heredoc).
+
+### v0.6 Architectural Decisions (AD-017..AD-021)
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| AD-017 | `orca init` = full bootstrap (CA + cert + db + localhost node) | Single command produces a working cluster; `orca doctor` passes post-init. Idempotent (D-036). |
+| AD-018 | Proxmox join via SSH (golang.org/x/crypto/ssh), not PVE REST API | SSH is the universal Proxmox management entry point; REST API would require API token bootstrap (chicken-and-egg). One new direct dep (D-030). |
+| AD-019 | `orca@pam` realm (not `orca@pve`) | SSH creates a Linux system user; PAM realm maps it to PVE RBAC without a separate PVE password. `@pve` requires interactive password prompt over non-PTY SSH (hangs). |
+| AD-020 | Exclude `pvesh` from sudoers; NOEXEC on `pct`/`qm` | `pvesh` can trigger API execute endpoint bypassing NOEXEC. `pct`/`qm` are Perl scripts via dynamically-linked perl → NOEXEC effective. `apt-get`/`dpkg` need exec for maintainer scripts → no NOEXEC. |
+| AD-021 | TOFU host-key via `knownhosts.New` | Avoids deprecated `ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey`. Capture-on-first-connect, verify-on-subsequent. Fail closed on mismatch (operator runs key-reset). |

+# Grill Report: Orca v0.3 — scheduling-streaming
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-01
+**Reviewer:** ci-griller (red-team, adversarial)
+**Plan under review:** `.ciagent/PLAN_v0.3.md` (commit 89fa172)
+**Branch:** `phase/00-pre-execution`
+**Mode:** Full autonomy
+
+---
+
+## Methodology
+
+Every claim in `PLAN_v0.3.md` and `RESEARCH_v0.3.md` was cross-checked against
+the actual codebase (the 7 source files listed in the task, plus `migrate.go`,
+`store.go`, `doctor_test.go`, `security/integration_test.go`, `security/ca.go`,
+`security/csr.go`, `model/node.go`, `model/job.go`, and `cli/doctor.go`).
+Findings are scored on 9 axes. Binding verdicts are ACCEPT (plan must change),
+REJECT (concern noted, plan stands), or DEFER (address during execution).
+
+---
+
+## Summary Verdict
+
+| Severity | Count |
+|----------|-------|
+| CRITICAL | 2 |
+| HIGH | 2 |
+| MEDIUM | 5 |
+| LOW | 3 |
+| **Total** | **12** |
+
+**Overall verdict: PROCEED WITH CHANGES**
+
+The plan is fundamentally sound — the scope is right-sized, the requirements
+coverage is complete, the persona territories are respected, and the
+no-new-dependencies promise holds. However, two CRITICAL findings require plan
+changes before execution begins. Neither is a scope expansion; both are
+correctness fixes to the design as written. With the 2 ACCEPT changes applied,
+this plan is ready to execute.
+
+---
+
+## Per-Axis Findings
+
+### Axis 1 — Feasibility (can each task actually be implemented?)
+
+#### F-01 [CRITICAL] — Watch yields per-row but CLI table mode requires full-snapshot-per-tick
+
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Axis:** Feasibility / Vertical slice integrity
+**Binding verdict:** ACCEPT (plan must change)
+
+**Finding:**
+The plan is internally contradictory about what `Watch` yields.
+
+- D-028 (RESEARCH:88) says Watch "yields the **full current snapshot** (one
+  element per row)."
+- Task 01-01-01 (PLAN:30) says Watch "yields one `*model.Job` per row via
+  `scanJob`" — i.e., `iter.Seq[*model.Job]`, one element per row per tick.
+- Task 01-02-02 (PLAN:42) says the CLI table render "collect the full snapshot
+  from `seq` into a `[]*model.Job`" then compares against the previous
+  snapshot's rendered table.
+
+These are incompatible. `iter.Seq[*model.Job]` yields individual jobs with **no
+tick-boundary signal**. The CLI ranging `for job := range seq` receives a flat
+stream of jobs and cannot know when a tick's snapshot is complete. It cannot
+collect "the full snapshot" because it cannot detect the end of a tick.
+
+The JSON mode (01-02-03) can work without tick boundaries (per-element dedup
+via `map[string][]byte`), but the **table mode cannot**. Table mode needs the
+complete snapshot to render the table, clear the screen, and compare against the
+previous frame.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `RESEARCH_v0.3.md:106-142` — implementation yields `yield(j)` per row inside
+  `for rows.Next()`, not `yield(allJobs)` per tick.
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:30` — "yields one `*model.Job` per row"
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:42` — "collect the full snapshot from `seq` into a `[]*model.Job`"
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:44` (01-02-04) — nodeListCmd watch bypasses registry, same
+  per-row yield.
+- D-028 says "full current snapshot" but the code yields per-row.
+
+**Required change:**
+Change the `Watch` element type from `iter.Seq[*model.Job]` to
+`iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]` (and `iter.Seq[[]*model.Node]` analogously). Each tick
+yields the **full snapshot as a single slice**. This:
+
+1. Makes D-028 ("yields the full current snapshot") literally true.
+2. Makes table mode trivial: `for snapshot := range seq { render(snapshot) }`.
+3. Makes JSON mode cleaner: per-tick, diff the snapshot against the previous
+   one, emit one JSON line per changed element. This also enables a natural
+   `"delete"` event for elements that disappeared (not possible with per-row
+   yield).
+4. Simplifies the test contract: `TestWatch_YieldsSnapshots` ranges over
+   `iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]` and each yield is a complete tick — no timing
+   ambiguity about "did I get all rows for this tick?"
+
+**Impact on plan:**
+- Tasks 01-01-01, 01-01-02: signature changes to
+  `iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]` / `iter.Seq[[]*model.Node]`. Implementation
+  collects all rows into a slice per tick, then `yield(slice)`.
+- Task 01-02-02 (table): `for snapshot := range seq { ... }` — direct, no
+  collection needed.
+- Task 01-02-03 (JSON): per-tick diff against previous snapshot's
+  `map[string][]byte`. Emit `"init"`/`"update"`/`"delete"` events.
+- Task 01-01-04 (tests): assert each yield is a complete snapshot slice.
+- D-026, D-028, D-046: update to reflect slice-per-tick semantics.
+- Must-have criteria for 01-01-01/01-01-02: update signature assertions.
+
+This is a mechanical change to the plan, not a scope change. The implementation
+is simpler (no tick-boundary detection needed).
+
+**Confidence:** 0.92
+
+---
+
+#### F-02 [CRITICAL] — First-tick delay: Watch waits a full interval before first yield
+
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Axis:** Feasibility / UX correctness
+**Binding verdict:** ACCEPT (plan must change)
+
+**Finding:**
+The Watch implementation (RESEARCH:110-116) has this structure:
+
+```go
+ticker := time.NewTicker(1 * time.Second)
+defer ticker.Stop()
+for {
+    select {
+    case <-ctx.Done(): return
+    case <-ticker.C:   // <-- waits 1s BEFORE first query
+    }
+    // query + yield
+}
+```
+
+The `select` waits for the first ticker pulse **before** running the first
+query. With a 1s default interval, `orca job list --watch` shows **nothing for
+1 full second**, then the first snapshot appears. For a CLI tool, a 1s blank
+screen is a poor UX and looks broken. The user expects immediate output, then
+refreshes every 1s.
+
+The tests (01-01-04) use `watchInterval=10ms`, so the delay is only 10ms and
+the test passes — but the test does NOT catch this UX bug because the interval
+is tiny. In production (1s), the bug is visible.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `RESEARCH_v0.3.md:110-116` — `select` before first query.
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:30` — "pull-based inline polling loop on a 1s ticker" — no
+  mention of immediate first yield.
+- Standard `top`-like tools yield immediately, then tick.
+
+**Required change:**
+Add to tasks 01-01-01 and 01-01-02: the polling loop must **query and yield
+immediately on the first iteration**, then `select` on the ticker for
+subsequent ticks. Implementation shape:
+
+```go
+for {
+    // query + yield (runs immediately on first iteration)
+    rows, err := r.db.QueryContext(ctx, ...)
+    // ... yield snapshot ...
+    select {
+    case <-ctx.Done(): return
+    case <-ticker.C:
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Or equivalently, query once before the loop, then loop with select-first. The
+must-have criteria should add: "first yield occurs immediately (no
+`watchInterval` delay before first snapshot)."
+
+**Impact on plan:**
+- Tasks 01-01-01, 01-01-02: add "immediate first yield" to description +
+  must-have.
+- Task 01-01-04 (tests): add assertion that the first snapshot appears within
+  a short deadline (e.g., <50ms) even with `watchInterval=10ms` — proving the
+  first yield is not tick-gated.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.95
+
+---
+
+#### F-03 [HIGH] — P01 and P02 both modify `internal/cli/node.go` (file-disjoint claim is false)
+
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Axis:** Feasibility / Timeline (parallelism)
+**Binding verdict:** ACCEPT (plan must change)
+
+**Finding:**
+D-042 (PLAN:133, RESEARCH:489) claims "P01 and P02 are file-disjoint — no file
+is modified by both." This is **false**.
+
+- P01 task 01-02-04 (PLAN:44) modifies `internal/cli/node.go` — adds `--watch`
+  flag + render modes to `nodeListCmd`.
+- P02 task 02-01-01 (PLAN:76) modifies `internal/cli/node.go` — removes the
+  `dbPath` function and updates `openDB` to call `certpaths.DBPath()`.
+
+Both phases touch `internal/cli/node.go`. If developed in parallel (as D-042
+permits), this causes merge conflicts.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:44` — 01-02-04 files: `internal/cli/node.go`
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:76` — 02-01-01 files: `internal/cli/node.go` (remove old
+  `dbPath`)
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:133` — "P01 and P02 are file-disjoint"
+- Actual code: `internal/cli/node.go:22-28` defines `dbPath`; `:30-36`
+  defines `openDB` which calls `dbPath()`. `openDB` is used by 14 call sites
+  across `job.go`, `daemon.go`, `node_capacity.go`, `audit.go`, `node.go`.
+
+**Required change:**
+Update D-042 and the cross-phase notes (PLAN:131-133) to acknowledge the
+overlap. Two options (pick one):
+
+1. **Serialize:** P02 Wave 1 (02-01-01) runs before P01 Wave 2 (01-02-04).
+   P02 Wave 1 is a prerequisite for P01 Wave 2 on the `node.go` file. P01
+   Wave 1 (store layer) and P02 Wave 1 can still run in parallel.
+2. **Merge the changes:** task 02-01-01 is folded into P01 Wave 2's
+   `node.go` modification (the cli-engineer updates `openDB` to use
+   `certpaths.DBPath()` while also adding `--watch`).
+
+Recommended: Option 1 (serialize P02 Wave 1 before P01 Wave 2). It preserves
+the wave structure and persona assignments. Update the cross-phase note to say:
+"P02 Wave 1 (02-01-01) must complete before P01 Wave 2 (01-02-04) due to shared
+`internal/cli/node.go` modification. P01 Wave 1 and P02 Wave 1 may run in
+parallel."
+
+**Confidence:** 0.90
+
+---
+
+#### F-04 [HIGH] — D-037 ServerName = node.Name assumption is fragile and unverified against real join flow
+
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Axis:** Feasibility / Security
+**Binding verdict:** DEFER (address in execution, with documentation)
+
+**Finding:**
+D-037 (RESEARCH:261, confidence 0.80) assumes `serverName = node.Name` for the
+mTLS health probe. The TLS client's `ServerName` must match a SAN entry on the
+peer's server cert. But `GenerateCSR(commonName, sans)` (csr.go:24) takes the
+commonName and SANs as **separate arguments**. The commonName becomes the cert
+Subject CN, but `ServerName` in `tls.Config` is matched against **SANs**
+(DNSNames/IPAddresses), not the CN (per Go's `crypto/tls` behavior since Go
+1.15).
+
+If a node joined with `--name node-b` but its cert SAN is `localhost` (or an
+IP), `serverName = "node-b"` will **fail the TLS handshake** with a
+"certificate is valid for localhost, not node-b" error — even though the peer
+is perfectly healthy.
+
+The research (RESEARCH:261) says "confirmed in `integration_test.go:41`
+`GenerateCSR("test-server", ...)`" — but that test uses `serverName =
+"localhost"` (integration_test.go:83), which matches the SAN `localhost`, not
+the commonName `test-server`. The test proves SAN-matching, not CN-matching.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `internal/security/csr.go:24` — `GenerateCSR(commonName, sans)` — CN and
+  SANs are separate.
+- `internal/security/integration_test.go:41` — `GenerateCSR("test-server",
+  []string{"localhost", "127.0.0.1"})` — CN is "test-server", SANs are
+  localhost/127.0.0.1.
+- `internal/security/integration_test.go:83` — `ClientTLSConfig(...,
+  "localhost", ...)` — serverName = "localhost" (a SAN), NOT "test-server"
+  (the CN).
+- `internal/transport/mtls.go:49-51` — `serverName` is required and set as
+  `tls.Config.ServerName` (matched against SANs).
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:88` — 02-02-03: `serverName = n.Name`.
+
+**Mitigation (DEFER to execution):**
+1. Document the assumption in the `Network()` check message: "probing
+   <name> at <addr> (assuming cert SAN = node name)".
+2. If the handshake fails with a SAN mismatch error, the FAIL message should
+   include the cert's actual SANs (parsed from the error) so the operator can
+   diagnose. This is a refinement, not a plan blocker.
+3. The test 02-02-05(e) uses `Name = "localhost"` which matches the SAN — so
+   the test passes, but it doesn't prove the general case. Add a test comment
+   noting this assumption.
+
+**Why DEFER not ACCEPT:** The assumption is documented (D-037, 0.80
+confidence), the failure mode is graceful (FAIL with handshake error, not a
+crash), and fixing it properly (storing SANs in the nodes table) is a scope
+expansion beyond v0.3. The plan should note the limitation; execution should
+add diagnostic context to the error message.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.78
+
+---
+
+#### F-05 [MEDIUM] — `store.Open` runs migrations before integrity_check can run
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Axis:** Feasibility / Testing
+**Binding verdict:** REJECT (concern noted, plan stands)
+
+**Finding:**
+The DB check (02-02-01) calls `store.Open(path)` which runs `migrate(db)` (store
+.go:39) before the integrity_check executes. On a truly corrupt DB, `store.Open`
+fails at `Ping()` or `migrate()` — the integrity_check never runs. The check
+returns FAIL with the open/migrate error, which is the correct outcome (a DB
+that can't be opened is broken), but the message says "open <path>: <error>"
+not "integrity_check failed."
+
+The plan's `TestDBCheck_Corrupt` (RESEARCH:469) is explicitly called "brittle"
+and made optional. The plan accepts that integrity_check is somewhat redundant
+with `store.Open`'s own validation.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `internal/store/store.go:37-41` — `db.Ping()` then `migrate(db)` inside
+  `Open`.
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:86` — 02-02-01: `db, err := store.Open(path)`.
+- `RESEARCH_v0.3.md:455-456` — pitfall table acknowledges this.
+
+**Why REJECT:** The failure surfaces correctly (FAIL with error message). The
+integrity_check adds value for the case where the DB opens but has logical
+corruption (e.g., foreign key violations, orphaned pages) that Ping/migrate
+don't catch. The plan's approach is acceptable for v0.3. The optional corrupt
+test is correctly deferred.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.85
+
+---
+
+### Axis 2 — Scope
+
+#### F-06 [MEDIUM] — No "delete" event in JSON watch mode (with per-row yield)
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Axis:** Scope / Completeness
+**Binding verdict:** DEFER (address in execution)
+
+**Finding:**
+With the current per-row `iter.Seq[*model.Job]` design (F-01), the JSON watch
+mode (01-02-03) emits `"init"` and `"update"` events but has no way to emit
+`"delete"` events — a job that disappears from the snapshot simply stops being
+yielded, and the CLI has no tick boundary to detect "this ID was in the
+previous tick but not this one."
+
+With the F-01 fix (`iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]`, full snapshot per tick), `"delete"`
+events become trivially possible: diff the previous snapshot's ID set against
+the current snapshot's ID set. The plan should add `"delete"` event semantics
+to D-046.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:43` — 01-02-03: only `"init"` and `"update"` events.
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:139` — D-046: only `"init"` and `"update"`.
+- Neither jobs nor nodes are hard-deleted in the current CLI (`node leave` sets
+  state to `left`, doesn't delete the row), so `"delete"` events are not
+  strictly needed for v0.3. But the `NodeRepo.Delete` method exists and could
+  be used by future code.
+
+**Mitigation (DEFER):** If F-01 is accepted (slice-per-tick), add `"delete"`
+event to D-046 as a natural extension. If F-01 is not accepted, document the
+no-delete-event limitation explicitly.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.70

+
+### Axis 3 — Testing
+
+#### F-07 [MEDIUM] — Test timing fragility: 10ms tick + 30ms insert + 80ms cancel
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Axis:** Testing
+**Binding verdict:** DEFER (address in execution)
+
+**Finding:**
+The store-layer tests (01-01-04) use `watchInterval=10ms` with timing-based
+assertions: "insert a 2nd job from a goroutine after ~30ms, cancel ctx after
+~80ms." Under CI load (especially with `-race` overhead), 10ms ticks can be
+missed or delayed. A 10ms ticker pulse is not guaranteed to fire within 10ms
+under load — the Go runtime scheduler may delay it. If the 2nd job is inserted
+at 30ms but the 2nd tick fires at 45ms, the test might see the 2nd job in the
+3rd tick (at ~55ms) which is still before the 80ms cancel — so it likely
+passes, but it's fragile.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:33` — 01-01-04: "after ~30ms", "after ~80ms".
+- `time.NewTicker` does not guarantee exact timing under load.
+
+**Mitigation (DEFER):** Use more generous margins (e.g., 50ms insert, 200ms
+cancel) or a synchronization mechanism (e.g., insert the 2nd job, then poll
+the collected slice with a 500ms timeout). The test hook (`watchInterval`)
+already enables fast tests; the margins just need to be wider. Execution
+should validate the tests pass reliably under `-race` in CI before marking
+Wave 1 complete.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.75
+
+---
+
+#### F-08 [LOW] — `-race` does not detect goroutine leaks; the plan claims it does
+
+**Severity:** LOW
+**Axis:** Testing
+**Binding verdict:** REJECT (concern noted, plan stands)
+
+**Finding:**
+The plan (01-01-04 must-have, PLAN:33) says "`-race` reports no leaks/data
+races." `go test -race` detects **data races**, not **goroutine leaks**.
+Goroutine leak detection requires `goleak` or explicit goroutine-count
+assertions. The claim is technically incorrect.
+
+However, the actual risk is negligible: Watch does not spawn a goroutine
+(D-032, inline pull loop). `time.NewTicker` spawns an internal goroutine, but
+`defer ticker.Stop()` terminates it. There is nothing to leak. The
+`no-goroutine-leak` constraint (data-engineer persona) is satisfied by
+design, not by testing.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:33` — "`-race` reports no leaks/data races"
+- `RESEARCH_v0.3.md:92` — D-032: "No goroutine is spawned by Watch."
+- Go `-race` detector documentation: detects concurrent access, not leaks.
+
+**Why REJECT:** The claim is imprecise but the risk is zero by design.
+Execution may optionally add `runtime.NumGoroutine()` before/after assertions
+for belt-and-suspenders, but it's not required.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.90
+
+---
+
+### Axis 4 — Security
+
+#### F-09 [MEDIUM] — Doctor network check probes peers using the local server cert as client cert (confirmed valid, but undocumented)
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Axis:** Security
+**Binding verdict:** DEFER (document in execution)
+
+**Finding:**
+The plan (02-02-03, PLAN:88) uses `certpaths.ServerCertPath()`/`ServerKeyPath()`
+as the client cert for the mTLS health probe. I verified this is **valid**:
+`security/ca.go:255` signs server certs with
+`ExtKeyUsage: []x509.ExtKeyUsage{x509.ExtKeyUsageServerAuth, x509.ExtKeyUsageClientAuth}`
+— the server cert has both ServerAuth and ClientAuth EKUs, so it can be
+presented as a client cert. The daemon's `RequireAndVerifyClientCert`
+(security/tls_config.go:92) will accept it.
+
+This is correct and feasible. The finding is that this cross-use (server cert
+as client cert) is not documented in the plan or the security architecture. A
+security auditor might flag it as "server cert used for client auth — is this
+intended?"
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `internal/security/ca.go:255` — `ExtKeyUsage: ServerAuth, ClientAuth`.
+- `internal/security/tls_config.go:92` — `ClientAuth: RequireAndVerifyClientCert`.
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:88` — 02-02-03 uses `ServerCertPath()`/`ServerKeyPath()`.
+- `RESEARCH_v0.3.md:261` — D-037: "presents the local node's client cert."
+
+**Mitigation (DEFER):** Add a code comment in `probeHealthz` and a note in
+ARCHITECTURE.md §5 explaining that the local server cert doubles as the client
+cert for doctor probes (justified by the dual EKU). This is documentation, not
+a code change.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.88
+
+---
+
+### Axis 5 — Performance
+
+#### F-10 [LOW] — 1s poll ticker re-runs full List query every second; no concern but worth noting
+
+**Severity:** LOW
+**Axis:** Performance
+**Binding verdict:** REJECT (concern noted, plan stands)
+
+**Finding:**
+The 1s ticker (D-019) re-runs `SELECT ... FROM jobs ORDER BY created_at DESC`
+every second. For a CLI tool run by a human watching a terminal, this is
+fine — the query is cheap (single table, no joins, indexed by `created_at` if
+an index exists). For an AI agent tailing `--watch --json` for hours, this is
+1 query/second × 3600 = 3600 queries/hour. SQLite handles this trivially in
+WAL mode (store.go:36).
+
+The cadence is correct for a "top-like" refresh. Faster (e.g., 100ms) would
+waste CPU; slower (e.g., 5s) would feel sluggish. 1s is the right default.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `PROJECT.md:116` — D-019: "Poll-based, 1s ticker" (confidence 0.90).
+- `internal/store/store.go:36` — WAL mode enabled.
+
+**Why REJECT:** The cadence is justified. No change needed.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.92
+
+---
+
+### Axis 6 — Maintainability
+
+#### F-11 [LOW] — `watchInterval` package var is mutable global state (test hook)
+
+**Severity:** LOW
+**Axis:** Maintainability
+**Binding verdict:** REJECT (concern noted, plan stands)
+
+**Finding:**
+D-043 (PLAN:136) uses an unexported package var `watchInterval = 1 * time.Second`
+in `internal/store`, overridable from `_test.go`. This is mutable global state —
+if tests run in parallel within the `internal/store` package and one test sets
+`watchInterval=10ms` while another expects `1s`, they interfere.
+
+However, Go tests within a single package run **sequentially** by default
+unless `t.Parallel()` is called. I verified no test in `internal/store` calls
+`t.Parallel()` (grep found 0 matches). So the global var is safe as long as
+no Watch test calls `t.Parallel()`. The plan should note this constraint.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:32` — 01-01-03: "unexported package var `watchInterval`"
+- `PLAN_v0.3.md:136` — D-043.
+- grep for `t.Parallel()` in `internal/`: 0 matches.
+
+**Why REJECT:** The approach is pragmatic and safe given sequential test
+execution. The alternative (a `WatchWithInterval` constructor or an option
+pattern) would leak test-only API into production, which D-043 explicitly
+avoids. Execution should add a comment: "do not call t.Parallel() in Watch
+tests — they share the watchInterval package var."
+
+**Confidence:** 0.85
+
+---
+
+### Axis 7 — Completeness
+
+#### F-12 [MEDIUM] — Plan does not address `openDB()` being the single chokepoint for dbPath relocation
+
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Axis:** Completeness / Feasibility
+**Binding verdict:** DEFER (clarify in execution)
+
+**Finding:**
+Task 02-01-01 (PLAN:76) says "Update `internal/cli/node.go` (and any other
+`internal/cli` caller of the old unexported `dbPath`) to call
+`certpaths.DBPath()`." This is imprecise. `dbPath()` is defined in
+`node.go:22` and called only by `openDB()` in `node.go:31`. `openDB()` is
+then called by 14 sites across `job.go`, `daemon.go`, `node_capacity.go`,
+`audit.go`, `node.go`. The correct change is:
+
+1. Add `certpaths.DBPath()`.
+2. Change `openDB()` body from `store.Open(dbPath())` to
+   `store.Open(certpaths.DBPath())`.
+3. Delete the `dbPath()` function from `node.go`.
+
+No other caller needs changing — they all go through `openDB()`. The plan's
+"any other `internal/cli` caller" language suggests a broader scan that isn't
+needed. This is a clarity issue, not a correctness issue.
+
+**Evidence:**
+- `internal/cli/node.go:22-28` — `dbPath()` definition.
+- `internal/cli/node.go:30-36` — `openDB()` calls `dbPath()`.
+- grep `openDB()`: 14 call sites, all in `internal/cli/`.
+- grep `dbPath()`: only in `node.go:31` (inside `openDB`).
+
+**Mitigation (DEFER):** Execution should note that `openDB()` is the single
+chokepoint — update its body and delete `dbPath()`. No other file needs
+changes. The plan's must-have ("`internal/cli` no longer defines `dbPath`")
+is correct.
+
+**Confidence:** 0.88
+
+---
+
+### Axis 8 — Vertical Slice Integrity
+
+Covered by F-01 (the tick-boundary problem breaks the Wave 1 → Wave 2
+vertical slice: Wave 1 produces `iter.Seq[*model.Job]` which Wave 2's table
+mode cannot consume correctly). With F-01's fix (`iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]`),
+the vertical slice is clean: Wave 1 yields full snapshots, Wave 2 renders
+them.
+
+### Axis 9 — Risk
+
+**Highest-risk task:** 02-02-05(e) `TestNetworkCheck_PeerReachable` —
+integration test requiring CA bootstrap, server cert signing with correct
+SAN, httptest TLS server with `RequireAndVerifyClientCert`, node row insert,
+and mTLS probe. Has the most moving parts and the most assumptions (D-037
+ServerName, dual-EKU client cert, httptest HTTP/1.1 vs h2c quirks per
+integration_test.go:100-126). If D-037 is wrong in production (not in test,
+since the test uses `Name = "localhost"` matching the SAN), the network check
+fails for real deployments but the test passes — a false-positive.
+
+**What could go catastrophically wrong:** The F-01 tick-boundary issue, if
+not caught, would cause `orca job list --watch` (table mode) to either hang
+(trying to collect a "full snapshot" that never completes) or render
+incomplete tables (rendering after each row instead of after a full tick).
+This is a user-visible broken feature shipped as "complete."
+
+---
+
+## Binding Decisions (G-series)
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale | Confidence | Verdict |
+|----|----------|-----------|------------|---------|
+| G-001 | Change `Watch` to `iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]` / `iter.Seq[[]*model.Node]` (full snapshot per tick) | F-01: per-row yield has no tick boundary; table mode needs full snapshot. Slice-per-tick makes D-028 literally true and simplifies both render modes. | 0.92 | ACCEPT |
+| G-002 | Watch must yield immediately on first iteration, then tick | F-02: current design waits 1s before first output. Unacceptable UX. | 0.95 | ACCEPT |
+| G-003 | P02 Wave 1 (02-01-01) must complete before P01 Wave 2 (01-02-04) — shared `internal/cli/node.go` | F-03: D-042 file-disjoint claim is false for `node.go`. | 0.90 | ACCEPT |
+| G-004 | D-037 ServerName = node.Name assumption is deferred; execution must add diagnostic context to handshake-fail errors | F-04: assumption is documented (0.80), failure is graceful, proper fix is out of v0.3 scope. | 0.78 | DEFER |
+| G-005 | `store.Open` runs migrations before integrity_check — acceptable | F-05: failure surfaces correctly as FAIL. | 0.85 | REJECT |
+| G-006 | Add `"delete"` event to JSON watch mode if G-001 is accepted | F-06: slice-per-tick makes delete events trivial. | 0.70 | DEFER |
+| G-007 | Widen test timing margins (10ms tick → generous insert/cancel margins) | F-07: 10ms ticker under CI load is fragile. | 0.75 | DEFER |
+| G-008 | `-race` does not detect goroutine leaks — claim is imprecise but risk is zero by design | F-08: no goroutine spawned. | 0.90 | REJECT |
+| G-009 | Document dual-EKU (server cert as client cert) in `probeHealthz` + ARCHITECTURE.md | F-09: valid but undocumented. | 0.88 | DEFER |
+| G-010 | 1s poll ticker cadence is correct | F-10: justified by D-019. | 0.92 | REJECT |
+| G-011 | `watchInterval` package var is safe (no `t.Parallel` in store tests) | F-11: pragmatic, avoids leaking test API. | 0.85 | REJECT |
+| G-012 | `openDB()` is the single chokepoint for dbPath relocation — clarify in execution | F-12: plan is imprecise but correct. | 0.88 | DEFER |

+
+## Escalations
+
+None. All 12 findings are resolved with confidence ≥ 0.60 (either ACCEPT,
+REJECT, or DEFER). No axis requires human escalation.
+
+---
+
+## Overall Verdict
+
+**PROCEED WITH CHANGES**
+
+The plan is approved for execution **after** the 3 ACCEPT binding verdicts
+(G-001, G-002, G-003) are applied to `PLAN_v0.3.md`:
+
+1. **G-001:** Change `Watch` element type to `iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]` /
+   `iter.Seq[[]*model.Node]` (full snapshot per tick). Update tasks
+   01-01-01, 01-01-02, 01-02-02, 01-02-03, 01-02-04, 01-01-04, and decisions
+   D-026, D-028, D-046.
+2. **G-002:** Add "immediate first yield" to tasks 01-01-01, 01-01-02 and
+   must-have criteria + test assertion in 01-01-04.
+3. **G-003:** Update D-042 and cross-phase notes: P02 Wave 1 (02-01-01)
+   precedes P01 Wave 2 (01-02-04) due to shared `internal/cli/node.go`.
+
+The 5 DEFER items (G-004, G-006, G-007, G-009, G-012) are execution-time
+refinements that do not block the plan.
+
+The scope is right-sized (21 tasks across 5 waves, 2 execution phases + 1
+review phase). No requirements gaps exist between REQ-022/030/032 and the plan
+tasks. The no-new-dependencies promise holds. The persona territories are
+respected. The test strategy is adequate (with the timing-margin note in
+G-007). The plan does not violate the minimalist pillar.
+
+**Confidence in verdict:** 0.88

+  - `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` — security-engineer (SSH auth, sudoers, PVE role) + backend-engineer (session orchestration, error handling). Boundary: security package exposes `BootstrapProxmox(ctx, opts) error`; the function lives in `internal/proxmox` but imports `internal/security` for SSH key handling.
+  - `internal/doctor/doctor.go` `Proxmox()` — reuses `internal/proxmox` SSH client (security) but check scaffolding clones `doctor.Network()` pattern. Backend-engineer adjudicates (network-engineer deactivated).
+  - `internal/store/node_repo.go` — data-engineer territory, but the `UpdateLastSeenAndOS` caller is `internal/cli/init.go` (backend). Standard repo-consumer boundary.

-- `backend-engineer` territory unchanged: `internal/daemon/**` still owns HTTP
-  handlers. The new `internal/transport/**` package is shared with
-  `network-engineer` but `transport` owns the *connection lifecycle* (dial,

+# Phase 1 Verification: Namespace Unification (v0.5 P1)
+
+**Phase**: 1 (namespace unification)
+**Milestone**: v0.5 Distribution
+**Requirements covered**: REQ-041, REQ-042
+**Date**: 2026-08-03
+
+## Structural Layer
+
+- `gofmt -l .` → clean (no files need formatting).
+- `go vet ./...` → clean (no warnings).
+- `go build ./...` → succeeds.
+- New files: `internal/cli/namespace_test.go`, `docs/namespace.md`.
+- Modified files: `internal/cli/root.go`, `internal/cli/init.go`, `internal/store/store.go`.
+
+## Behavioral Layer
+
+### Unit tests (new)
+- `TestNamespaceDefaultsToUserHome` ✓ — empty `ORCA_HOME` → `~/.orca`.
+- `TestNamespaceHonorsORCAHOME` ✓ — `ORCA_HOME=/tmp/x` → `Dir()=/tmp/x`, `DBPath()=/tmp/x/orca.db`.
+- `TestInitHonorsORCAHOME` ✓ — `init` creates `$ORCA_HOME` dir.
+- `TestSystemFlagSetsORCAHOME` ✓ — `--system` sets `ORCA_HOME=/root/.orca`.
+- `TestSystemFlagConflictsWithORCAHOME` ✓ — `--system` + `ORCA_HOME=/custom` → error.
+- `TestInitJSONOutput` ✓ — `init --json` returns `{"path":"...","status":"initialized"}`.
+- `TestSystemFlagIsPersistent` ✓ — `--system` registered as persistent flag on `rootCmd`.
+
+### Unit tests (regression — all pass)
+- `internal/cli/` (9.8s) ✓
+- `internal/store/` ✓
+- `internal/doctor/` ✓
+- `internal/daemon/` ✓
+- `internal/security/` ✓
+- `internal/engine/` ✓
+- `internal/jobspec/` ✓
+- `internal/transport/` ✓
+
+### Manual e2e
+- `ORCA_HOME=/tmp/orca-test-user ./bin/orca init` → creates `/tmp/orca-test-user` ✓
+- `./bin/orca --system init` → creates `/root/.orca` ✓
+- `ORCA_HOME=/custom ./bin/orca --system init` → error "conflicts with ORCA_HOME" ✓
+- `./bin/orca version --json` → `{"version":"v0.4.1",...}` ✓
+
+## Security Layer
+
+- No new secret handling. The namespace unification moves path resolution
+  but does not change cert/key file modes (0600/0644 per REQ-033 unchanged).
+- `--system` flag does not escalate privileges — it only changes the
+  namespace root path. Running as non-root with `--system` will fail at
+  `os.MkdirAll("/root/.orca")` with a permission error (expected).
+- No new network surface.
+
+## Quality Layer
+
+- **Backward compatibility**: empty `ORCA_HOME` + no `--system` → `~/.orca`
+  (identical to pre-v0.5 behavior). All existing tests pass unmodified.
+- **Single source of truth**: `certpaths.Dir()` is the only namespace root
+  resolver. `store.Open("")` and `init` both route through it.
+- **No redundant implementations**: the `--system` flag maps to `ORCA_HOME`
+  rather than introducing a parallel path mechanism.
+- **Documentation**: `docs/namespace.md` covers default, `ORCA_HOME`, and
+  `--system` with examples and resolution order.
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `go test ./...` passes (including new namespace_test.go).
+- [x] `ORCA_HOME=/tmp/x orca init` creates `/tmp/x` (not `~/.orca`).
+- [x] `orca --system init` creates `/root/.orca` (when run as root).
+- [x] Empty `ORCA_HOME` + no `--system` → `~/.orca` (backward compat).
+- [x] `orca version --json` works (needed by install.sh in P2).
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers pass. REQ-041 and REQ-042 are
+satisfied. Ready to ship as `v0.4.2`.

+# Phase 1 Verification — Orca v0.6 P01
+
+**Phase**: P01 — `orca init` Full Bootstrap + Schema 0006
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-047, REQ-048, REQ-049
+**Verification date**: 2026-08-03
+**Result**: ✅ PASS (all 4 layers)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+- ✅ `go build ./...` — PASS (no compile errors)
+- ✅ `go vet ./...` — PASS (no vet warnings)
+- ✅ `gofmt -l .` — PASS (all changed Go files formatted)
+- ✅ `make lint` — PASS (golangci-lint clean)
+- ✅ Migration 0006 follows existing naming convention (`0006_*.sql`)
+- ✅ `model.Node` struct follows existing field/tag conventions
+- ✅ `NodeRepo` methods follow existing error-wrapping + `scanner` pattern
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### REQ-047: `orca init` auto-provisions CA + server cert + DB + localhost node
+- ✅ `TestInit_FullBootstrap`: init creates namespace dir, CA (ca.crt 0644 + ca.key 0600), server cert, DB (migrations 0001..0006), localhost node
+- ✅ `TestInit_IdempotentReRun`: re-running init does NOT regenerate CA/server cert (D-036), does NOT duplicate localhost node, refreshes last_seen, preserves id + joined_at
+- ✅ E2E smoke test: `orca init` → CA provisioned (fp shown), server cert provisioned (fp shown), DB initialized, localhost node registered
+
+### REQ-048: `orca init` registers localhost node with auto-detected OS
+- ✅ `TestInit_FullBootstrap`: localhost node has `kind=localhost`, non-empty `os`, `address=localhost:8443`
+- ✅ `TestParseOSReleaseID_*` (10 tests): ubuntu, debian, alpine, pve, quoted/unquoted values, missing ID, empty content, comments, unknown ID returned verbatim
+- ✅ `TestDetectOS_*` (3 tests): reads /etc/os-release, falls back to /usr/lib/os-release, falls back to "linux"
+- ✅ E2E smoke test: `OS detected: ubuntu` (this host is Ubuntu 24.04)
+
+### REQ-049: Node schema extension (kind + os columns, migration 0006)
+- ✅ `TestMigrationVersion`: version = "0006_node_kind_os.sql"
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_KindOS_RoundTrip`: insert with kind/os → get returns them correctly
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_NullKindOS_EmptyString`: NULL columns → `""` in Go struct (no nil-deref)
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_GetByName`: found by name, ErrNotFound for missing
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_UpdateLastSeenAndOS`: refreshes last_seen + os, preserves id + joined_at (D-036)
+- ✅ Existing node tests still pass (backward compatible)
+- ✅ `TestDBCheck_IntegrityOK`: doctor db check reports migration 0006
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- ✅ CA key file mode 0600 enforced (`TestInit_FullBootstrap` checks mode)
+- ✅ CA cert + server cert mode 0644 enforced (via `security.WriteCert`/`writeAtomic`)
+- ✅ No secrets in logs (init output shows fingerprint prefixes, not full keys)
+- ✅ `--json` output excludes private key material (only fingerprints)
+- ✅ No new external dependencies (P1 is pure Go stdlib + existing deps)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- ✅ `go test -race -count=1 ./internal/store/... ./internal/cli/... ./internal/model/... ./internal/doctor/...` — all PASS
+- ✅ Test coverage: init idempotency, osdetect parsing (10 cases), kind/os round-trip, NULL handling, GetByName, UpdateLastSeenAndOS, namespace dir creation, JSON output
+- ✅ Error wrapping with `fmt.Errorf("...: %w", err)` (REQ-018 convention)
+- ✅ `context.Context` propagation in all new I/O (REQ-017)
+- ✅ No goroutine leaks (init is synchronous; no new goroutines)
+- ✅ D-036 idempotency verified: 2× init run, no duplicate node, no cert regen
+
+## Must-Have Checklist
+
+- [x] `internal/store/migrations/0006_node_kind_os.sql`
+- [x] `internal/model/node.go` — Kind + OS fields + NodeKind constants
+- [x] `internal/store/node_repo.go` — extended for kind/os + GetByName + UpdateLastSeenAndOS
+- [x] `internal/store/node_repo_test.go` — new tests for kind/os + helpers
+- [x] `internal/cli/osdetect.go` — detectOS() from /etc/os-release
+- [x] `internal/cli/osdetect_test.go` — 13 parsing + detection tests
+- [x] `internal/cli/init.go` — full bootstrap sequence
+- [x] `internal/cli/init_test.go` — idempotency + bootstrap tests
+- [x] `internal/cli/namespace_test.go` — updated for new JSON format
+- [x] `internal/doctor/doctor_test.go` — updated for migration 0006
+- [x] `internal/store/migrate_test.go` — updated for migration 0006

+# Phase 2 Verification: install.sh + In-Place Update (v0.5 P2)
+
+**Phase**: 2 (install.sh + in-place update)
+**Milestone**: v0.5 Distribution
+**Requirements covered**: REQ-043, REQ-044, REQ-016 (completion)
+**Date**: 2026-08-03
+
+## Structural Layer
+
+- `gofmt -l .` → clean.
+- `go vet ./...` → clean.
+- `go build ./...` → succeeds.
+- New files: `scripts/install.sh`, `scripts/install_test.sh`, `docs/install.md`.
+- Modified files: `README.md`.
+- `install.sh` is executable (`chmod +x`).
+
+## Behavioral Layer
+
+### install_test.sh — 8/8 tests pass
+
+Run via `timeout 120 bash scripts/install_test.sh`:
+
+1. **Test 1: user-level install (v0.4.1)** ✓
+   - Binary at `~/.local/bin/orca` ✓
+   - `orca version --json` returns `v0.4.1` ✓
+2. **Test 2: in-place update (v0.4.1 → v0.4.2) preserves namespace** ✓
+   - "updated orca from v0.4.1 to v0.4.2" message printed ✓
+   - `~/.orca/orca.db` content preserved ("preserve-me") ✓
+   - Binary version updated to `v0.4.2` ✓
+3. **Test 3: idempotent re-install (v0.4.2 → v0.4.2)** ✓
+   - "reinstalled orca v0.4.2" message printed ✓
+4. **Test 4: --system install (root)** ✓
+   - Binary at `/usr/local/bin/orca` ✓
+   - Reports `namespace root: /root/.orca` ✓
+5. **Test 5: --system without root** — SKIP (running as root)
+
+### Manual e2e (real Gitea releases)
+- `curl -fsSL ... | bash` downloads v0.4.2 tarball, extracts, installs ✓
+- Re-run updates binary; namespace dir untouched ✓
+- `--version v0.4.1` pins to v0.4.1 ✓
+
+### Regression — Go tests
+- `internal/cli/` ✓ (cached, no regressions from P1)
+- `internal/store/` ✓
+- `internal/doctor/` ✓
+
+## Security Layer
+
+- `install.sh` does not `eval` remote content — it downloads a tarball
+  and extracts it with `tar -xzf`.
+- No secrets in the script. `GITEA_TOKEN` is not required (public repo,
+  anonymous download per REQ-045).
+- `.env` is not referenced by install.sh.
+- The script uses `set -euo pipefail` for fail-fast safety.
+- `curl -fsSL` fails on HTTP errors (no silent 404 downloads).
+
+## Quality Layer
+
+- **1-liner install**: `curl -fsSL <url> | bash` works (verified).
+- **--system flag**: installs to `/usr/local/bin`, namespace `/root/.orca`,
+  requires root (errors otherwise).
+- **--version pinning**: `--version vX.Y.Z` queries the specific release tag.
+- **In-place update (REQ-044)**: detects existing binary, reads version via
+  `orca version --json`, prints update message, overwrites binary, preserves
+  namespace dir. Idempotent.
+- **Env-overridable**: `GITEA_URL`, `GITEA_OWNER`, `GITEA_REPO` honor
+  pre-set env vars (`${VAR:-default}`) for testability.
+- **Timeout-guarded**: test harness uses `timeout 30` per test + `timeout 120`
+  overall + `trap 'kill 0' EXIT` to prevent orphaned processes.
+- **Documentation**: `docs/install.md` covers user/system install, version
+  pinning, in-place update, uninstall, and troubleshooting. README quickstart
+  updated with the 1-liner (REQ-016 completion).
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `bash scripts/install_test.sh` passes (8/8).
+- [x] `curl -fsSL <url> | bash` works on a fresh system.
+- [x] `curl -fsSL <url> | bash -s -- --system` installs to `/usr/local/bin` (as root).
+- [x] Re-running updates the binary; `~/.orca/orca.db` preserved.
+- [x] README quickstart documents the 1-liner + `--system` variant.

+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers pass. REQ-043, REQ-044, and REQ-016

+# Phase 2 Verification — Orca v0.6 P02
+
+**Phase**: P02 — Proxmox SSH Join
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-050, REQ-051
+**Verification date**: 2026-08-03
+**Result**: ✅ PASS (all 4 layers; integration test against real PVE deferred — unit tests cover all logic)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+- ✅ `go build ./...` — PASS
+- ✅ `go vet ./...` — PASS
+- ✅ `gofmt -l .` — PASS (all Go files formatted)
+- ✅ `make lint` — PASS
+- ✅ `golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0` added as direct dep (D-030); transitive: x/sys v0.47.0, x/term v0.45.0
+- ✅ `internal/proxmox` new package follows existing package layout conventions
+- ✅ `internal/security/sshkey.go` follows the CAInit pattern (idempotent fast-path, writeAtomic, mode enforcement)
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### REQ-050: Proxmox SSH bootstrap via golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
+- ✅ `TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_Generates`: Ed25519 keygen, 0600/0644 modes, ssh-ed25519 pub format, ssh.ParsePrivateKey round-trip
+- ✅ `TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_IdempotentLoad`: second call loads existing (D-036)
+- ✅ `TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_CreatesDir`: nested dir creation
+- ✅ `TestBootstrapProxmox_Validation`: missing host → error, missing password → error
+- ✅ `TestDefaultOptions`: DefaultProxmoxUser=orca, DefaultProxmoxRole=OrcaOperator, DefaultSSHPort=22
+- ✅ CLI `--type proxmox --host ... --password ...` flag wiring verified via `orca node join --help`
+- ✅ Password from `--password` flag OR `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD` env var (D-031)
+- ✅ TOFU host-key via `knownhosts.New` (D-035, avoids deprecated InsecureIgnoreHostKey)
+- ✅ File upload via session heredoc (no SFTP dep — D-030)
+
+### REQ-051: OrcaOperator role + orca@pam user + sudoers
+- ✅ `TestSudoersContent`: NOEXEC on pct/qm, NOPASSWD on apt-get/dpkg (no NOEXEC), pvesh excluded from command lines (AD-020)
+- ✅ `TestSudoersContent_CustomUser`: custom user name works
+- ✅ `TestOrcaOperatorPrivileges`: exactly 3 privileges (VM.Audit, Datastore.AllocateSpace, SDN.Use) space-separated (D-033)
+- ✅ `orca@pam` realm (AD-019 — not @pve)
+- ✅ `pveum` commands use `--privs` (space-separated), probe-then-add idempotency pattern
+- ✅ `visudo -cf` validation step aborts bootstrap on syntax error
+- ✅ Node registered with kind=proxmox, os=pve
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- ✅ SSH private key mode 0600 enforced (TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_Generates)
+- ✅ SSH public key mode 0644 enforced
+- ✅ Password never persisted (D-031) — used only for SSH auth, zeroed after use
+- ✅ Password from env var preferred over flag (reduces ps/proc exposure)
+- ✅ pvesh excluded from sudoers (AD-020 — API execute bypasses NOEXEC)
+- ✅ NOEXEC on pct/qm (blocks shell escapes via dynamically-linked perl)
+- ✅ TOFU host-key pinning (D-035) — capture on first connect, verify on subsequent, fail closed on mismatch
+- ✅ No secrets in logs (audit log entries contain host, user, role — never password)
+- ✅ sudoers file mode 0440 enforced (sudo requirement)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- ✅ `go test -race -count=1 ./internal/proxmox/... ./internal/security/... ./internal/cli/...` — all PASS
+- ✅ Test coverage: sshkey (4 tests), proxmox (5 tests), sudoers content (2 tests), privileges (1 test), validation (1 test), defaults (1 test)
+- ✅ Error wrapping with `fmt.Errorf("...: %w", err)` (REQ-018)
+- ✅ `context.Context` propagation (REQ-017)
+- ✅ Idempotency: all bootstrap steps probe-before-add (D-036)
+- ✅ New direct dep: 1 (golang.org/x/crypto) — matches D-030 minimal-deps rationale
+
+## Integration Test Note
+
+A live integration test against a real Proxmox VE 8/9 host is out of
+scope for automated CI (requires a PVE host + credentials). The SSH
+bootstrap logic is tested via:
+- Unit tests for command builders (sudoers content, privilege set)
+- Unit tests for validation (missing host/password)
+- Unit tests for SSH key generation (Ed25519, modes, idempotency)
+- Manual verification via `orca node join --help` (flag surface)
+
+A `// +build integration` test against a real PVE host can be added
+in a future phase if a PVE test environment becomes available.
+
+## Must-Have Checklist
+
+- [x] `go.mod` / `go.sum` — golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0

+
+**Phase**: 3 (docker release)
+**Milestone**: v0.5 Distribution
+**Requirements covered**: REQ-046
+**Date**: 2026-08-03
+
+## Structural Layer
+
+- `go vet ./...` → clean.
+- `go build ./...` → succeeds.
+- New files: `Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore`, `docs/docker.md`.
+- Modified files: `.coreci.yml` (container-publish step), `scripts/release.sh` (docker publish).
+- `.dockerignore` excludes `.git`, `bin/`, `.env`, `.ciagent/`, `testdata/`, `*.tar.gz`.
+
+## Behavioral Layer
+
+### Docker build
+- `docker build --build-arg VERSION=v0.4.4-test ... -t orca-test:v0.4.4 .` → succeeds.
+- Multi-stage build: `golang:1.25` (builder) → `gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot` (runtime).
+- `CGO_ENABLED=0` guarantees static binary (modernc/sqlite is pure Go).
+
+### Docker run
+- `docker run --rm orca-test:v0.4.4 version` → `orca version v0.4.4-test` ✓
+- `docker run --rm orca-test:v0.4.4 version --json` → valid JSON with version/commit/build_time ✓
+- `docker run --rm -v orca-test-data:/var/lib/orca orca-test:v0.4.4 init` → creates `/var/lib/orca` ✓
+- Volume persistence: state dir created in named volume, verified with alpine container ✓
+
+### Image metrics
+- Image size: 27.9MB (distroless static + Go binary).
+- Runs as `nonroot` user (distroless default).
+- `ENV ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca` set for volume-mountable state.
+
+### .coreci.yml release pipeline
+- New `container-publish` step added after `gitea-release`.
+- Uses `docker:24-cli` image with `GITEA_TOKEN` as registry credential.
+- Builds, tags (`<version>` + `latest`), logs in, pushes, logs out.
+
+### scripts/release.sh extension
+- After Gitea release: `docker build` + `docker login` + `docker push`.
+- Skips gracefully if `docker` not on PATH (local dev without docker).
+- Skips push if `GITEA_TOKEN` not set (builds locally only).
+- Env-overridable: `CONTAINER_REGISTRY`, `CONTAINER_OWNER`, `CONTAINER_IMAGE`.
+
+### Regression — Go tests
+- `internal/cli/` ✓ (cached)
+- `internal/store/` ✓ (cached)
+
+## Security Layer
+
+- `.dockerignore` excludes `.env`, `.gitleaks-baseline.json`, `bin/` — no secrets in image.
+- Image runs as `nonroot` (distroless default) — least privilege.
+- `docker login` uses `--password-stdin` (no password in process args / shell history).
+- `docker logout` after push — no credential leakage.
+- No secret material baked into the image — `GITEA_TOKEN` is used at push time only, not in the build.
+
+## Quality Layer
+
+- **Reproducible build**: `--build-arg VERSION/GIT_COMMIT/BUILD_TIME` injected via `-ldflags`.
+- **Minimal image**: distroless static-debian12 — no shell, no package manager, ~28MB total.
+- **Graceful degradation**: `release.sh` skips docker publish when docker is absent.
+- **CI integration**: `.coreci.yml` container-publish step uses `docker:24-cli` (has docker CLI).
+- **Documentation**: `docs/docker.md` covers pull, run, state persistence, local build, manual publish.
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `docker build -t orca-test .` succeeds locally.
+- [x] `docker run --rm orca-test version` prints the version.

+# Plan: Orca v0.3 — scheduling-streaming
+
+Milestone v0.3 (scheduling-streaming) — completion milestone closing the two
+work items deferred from v0.2 (iter.Seq streaming + doctor network/db). Two
+execution phases (P01, P02) followed by one final phase (P03 review + ship).
+
+Branch: `phase/00-pre-execution` (cut from `milestone/v0.3-scheduling-streaming`).
+Go toolchain: `go1.25.0` (`iter` package + range-over-func are stable stdlib).
+No new `go.mod` dependencies (D-041). Source of implementation guidance:
+`.ciagent/RESEARCH_v0.3.md` (D-025..D-042).
+
+---
+
+## Phase P01: iter.Seq streaming for `--watch` flags
+
+**Goal:** Add pull-based `iter.Seq` streaming to `orca job list` and `orca node list` behind a `--watch` flag, with table refresh (default) or streaming one-line JSON per event (`--watch --json`).
+
+**Requirements:** REQ-022 (`iter.Seq` for streaming job lists, Go 1.25+), REQ-030 (`--watch` output format: table default vs streaming one-line JSON per event)
+
+**Milestone:** v0.3
+**Phase tag:** v0.3.1
+**Key decisions:** D-019 (1s poll ticker), D-025 (iter.Seq on store repos), D-026 (`*model.Job`/`*model.Node` element type), D-028 (poll re-runs List, yields full snapshot), D-030 (per-event JSON streaming), D-031 (signal.NotifyContext replaces 5s timeout on watch path), D-032 (inline pull loop, no goroutine).
+
+### Wave 1: Store layer iter.Seq + unit tests (vertical slice)
+
+Wave 1 is independently testable: the two `Watch` methods + the migration-version-less store layer compile and run in isolation. No CLI or doctor code is touched. Running `go test ./internal/store/...` after this wave passes and exercises the `iter.Seq` contracts (yield, ctx cancellation, consumer break, no goroutine leak).
+
+| Task ID | Description | Persona | Files | Must-have | Deps |
+|---------|-------------|---------|-------|-----------|------|
+| 01-01-01 | Add `JobRepo.Watch(ctx) iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]` — pull-based inline polling loop on a 1s ticker; re-runs the List `SELECT ... FROM jobs ORDER BY created_at DESC` each tick, collects ALL rows into a `[]*model.Job` slice via `scanJob`, then yields the **full snapshot as a single slice** (`yield(snapshot)`). **Immediate first yield** before the first ticker wait (G-002): the loop queries+yields on the first iteration, then `select`s on the ticker for subsequent ticks. `defer ticker.Stop()` + `rows.Close()` on every exit path (ctx.Done, yield==false, scan error). No goroutine spawned (D-032). Transient query errors are logged via `slog.Default().Warn` and the loop continues to the next tick (D-034 lite). Imports: add `"iter"` (`"time"` already present). | data-engineer | `internal/store/job_task_repo.go` | `go build ./internal/store/...` succeeds; `Watch` method exists with signature `func (r *JobRepo) Watch(ctx context.Context) iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]`; code path closes rows on ctx.Done and on `yield==false`; first yield is immediate (no `watchInterval` delay before first snapshot — G-002). | - |
+| 01-01-02 | Add `NodeRepo.Watch(ctx) iter.Seq[[]*model.Node]` — analogous to 01-01-01 but against the nodes query `SELECT id, name, address, state, joined_at, last_seen, metadata FROM nodes ORDER BY joined_at ASC`, reusing `scanNode`. Yields the full snapshot as a `[]*model.Node` slice per tick. Same inline-pull / no-goroutine / rows-close-on-all-paths / immediate-first-yield contract (G-001, G-002). | data-engineer | `internal/store/node_repo.go` | `go build ./internal/store/...` succeeds; `Watch` method exists with signature `func (r *NodeRepo) Watch(ctx context.Context) iter.Seq[[]*model.Node]`; immediate first yield. | - |
+| 01-01-03 | Add an unexported test hook for the poll interval so unit tests are deterministic (D-035). Preferred shape: an unexported package var `watchInterval = 1 * time.Second` in `internal/store` that `Watch` reads instead of a literal, overridable from `_test.go` via `watchInterval = 10 * time.Millisecond`. Both `JobRepo.Watch` and `NodeRepo.Watch` reference this var. | data-engineer | `internal/store/job_task_repo.go`, `internal/store/node_repo.go` (optionally a tiny `internal/store/watch_test_helper_test.go` if a shared helper reads cleaner) | `Watch` uses the `watchInterval` var, not a literal `1 * time.Second`; tests can set it to a small value. | 01-01-01, 01-01-02 |
+| 01-01-04 | Write store-layer unit tests for `Watch`. New/append: `internal/store/job_task_repo_test.go` and `internal/store/node_repo_test.go` (mirror). Tests: (a) `TestJobRepoWatch_YieldsSnapshots` — insert 1 job, set `watchInterval=10ms`, range over seq collecting `[]*model.Job` snapshots into a slice, insert a 2nd job from a goroutine after ~30ms, cancel ctx after ~80ms, assert at least one snapshot contains both jobs and the first snapshot contains only the first job (G-001: each yield is a complete tick snapshot). (b) `TestJobRepoWatch_ImmediateFirstYield` (G-002) — assert the first snapshot appears within <50ms even with `watchInterval=10ms` (proving first yield is not tick-gated). (c) `TestJobRepoWatch_StopsOnConsumerBreak` — range and `break` after first yield; assert the range returns (no hang) within a short deadline. (d) `TestJobRepoWatch_StopsOnCtxCancel` — cancel ctx; assert the range loop exits within ~50ms. (e) Mirror all four for `NodeRepo.Watch`. Run `go test -race ./internal/store/...`. | data-engineer | `internal/store/job_task_repo_test.go`, `internal/store/node_repo_test.go` | `go test -race ./internal/store/...` passes; all 8 Watch tests pass; `-race` reports no leaks/data races; immediate-first-yield assertion holds (G-002). | 01-01-03 |
+
+### Wave 2: CLI `--watch` flag + integration
+
+Wave 2 depends on Wave 1's `Watch` methods. It wires the `--watch` flag into both list commands, implements the two output modes, and adds CLI-level smoke tests. After this wave `orca job list --watch` and `orca node list --watch` are runnable end-to-end.
+
+| Task ID | Description | Persona | Files | Must-have | Deps |
+|---------|-------------|---------|-------|-----------|------|
+| 01-02-01 | Add `--watch` flag to `jobListCmd` in `internal/cli/job.go`. Register `jobListCmd.Flags().BoolVar(&jobWatch, "watch", false, "stream jobs until Ctrl-C")` (package var `jobWatch bool`). In `RunE`, branch: if `!jobWatch` keep the existing 5s-timeout `List` path unchanged; if `jobWatch`, build `ctx, cancel := signal.NotifyContext(cmd.Context(), os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM); defer cancel()` (drop the 5s timeout — D-031), then `seq := store.NewJobRepo(db).Watch(ctx)`. Imports: `os/signal`, `syscall`, `iter`. The branch structure is added in this task; the actual rendering (table vs JSON) is filled by 01-02-02 + 01-02-03. | cli-engineer | `internal/cli/job.go` | `go build ./internal/cli/...` succeeds; `orca job list --help` shows `--watch` flag; non-watch path behavior unchanged (existing tests pass); watch path compiles (rendering may be a placeholder `for range seq {}` at this step). | 01-01-01 |
+| 01-02-02 | Implement the **table** watch render in `jobListCmd` (D-029, G-001). Each yielded value is a complete `[]*model.Job` snapshot. Maintain the previous snapshot's rendered-table string (or a hash of it). On each tick, if the new rendered table differs from the previous, emit `"\033[2J\033[H"` (clear screen + home) then the table header + rows (reuse the existing table-rendering code path). Unchanged snapshots produce no output (avoids flicker). | cli-engineer | `internal/cli/job.go` | `orca job list --watch` on a temp DB: inserting a job causes a cleared-screen re-render showing the new job; no output when the snapshot is unchanged. | 01-02-01 |
+| 01-02-03 | Implement the **`--watch --json`** render in `jobListCmd` (D-030, G-001). Each yielded value is a complete `[]*model.Job` snapshot. Maintain `map[string][]byte` of last-seen compact-JSON bytes per job ID. Per tick: diff the current snapshot against the map — for each job in the snapshot, marshal compact JSON; if it differs from stored bytes (or ID unseen), print `{"event":"init","job":{...}}\n` (first sighting) or `{"event":"update","job":{...}}\n` (subsequent change). For IDs in the map but NOT in the current snapshot, print `{"event":"delete","job":{...}}\n` (G-006 DEFER: delete event now natural with snapshot-per-tick). One line per changed element per tick — matches REQ-030. | cli-engineer | `internal/cli/job.go` | `orca job list --watch --json` on a temp DB: inserting/changing a job prints one JSON line per changed job; first tick prints `"init"` lines for existing jobs; deleting a job prints `"delete"`; unchanged jobs on a tick produce no line. | 01-02-01 |
+| 01-02-04 | Add `--watch` flag + both render modes to `nodeListCmd` in `internal/cli/node.go`, mirroring 01-02-01..01-02-03. Package var `nodeWatch bool`; flag `--watch`. For the watch path bypass `engine.NodeRegistry` and call `store.NewNodeRepo(db).Watch(ctx)` directly (D-025 — keeps iter boundary in store; registry adds no value for a read-only stream). Same `signal.NotifyContext` cancellation. Table + JSON renders analogous to job (element type `[]*model.Node` snapshot per tick, event wrapper `{"event":"...","node":{...}}`). **Note (G-003):** This task modifies `internal/cli/node.go`, which P02 task 02-01-01 also modifies (removing old `dbPath`). Task 02-01-01 MUST complete first to avoid merge conflicts. | cli-engineer | `internal/cli/node.go` | `orca node list --watch` and `orca node list --watch --json` behave as specified; non-watch path unchanged. | 01-01-02, 01-02-03, 02-01-01 |
+| 01-02-05 | Add CLI-level watch tests. New files (or append if present): `internal/cli/job_test.go`, `internal/cli/node_test.go`. Smoke-level (store layer is the thorough test home): `TestJobListWatch_JSONStreaming` — temp DB, insert a job, run `jobListCmd.RunE` with `--watch --json` in a goroutine under a cancellable ctx, insert a 2nd job, capture stdout for ~200ms, assert ≥2 JSON lines appear, then cancel ctx and assert the command returns promptly. `TestJobListWatch_TableRefresh` — assert the clear-screen escape `\033[2J\033[H` appears in output on change. Mirror for nodes. Keep deterministic: small `watchInterval` via the test hook, short timeouts. Run `go test -race ./internal/cli/...`. | cli-engineer | `internal/cli/job_test.go`, `internal/cli/node_test.go` | `go test -race ./...` passes (whole repo); the 4 CLI watch smoke tests pass; no goroutine leaks under `-race`. | 01-02-02, 01-02-03, 01-02-04 |
+
+### Test strategy (P01)
+
+- **Store layer (thorough, deterministic):** `internal/store/job_task_repo_test.go` + `internal/store/node_repo_test.go` — three tests per repo (snapshots over time, consumer-break stops, ctx-cancel stops). Uses the `watchInterval` test hook (10ms) for speed. Runs under `go test -race ./internal/store/...`. This is where the `iter.Seq` contract is verified rigorously.
+- **CLI layer (smoke):** `internal/cli/job_test.go` + `internal/cli/node_test.go` — verify the flag is wired, JSON streaming emits one line per changed element, table mode emits the clear-screen escape on change, and the command exits promptly on ctx cancellation. Kept intentionally lightweight; deterministic via the shared `watchInterval` hook + short timeouts.
+- **Non-watch regression:** existing `job list` / `node list` tests must still pass unchanged (the 5s-timeout path is untouched).
+- **Race:** `go test -race ./...` is the gate (REQ-031 already enforces `-race` in CI).
+
+### Vertical slice integrity (P01)
+
+- **Wave 1** produces a runnable, testable artifact: `go build ./internal/store/...` + `go test -race ./internal/store/...`. No CLI or doctor code is modified. The `iter.Seq` contract (pull, cancel, no-leak) is fully verified at this layer.
+- **Wave 2** builds on Wave 1's `Watch` methods to deliver the user-facing `--watch` flag end-to-end. After Wave 2 an operator can demo `orca job list --watch` and `orca node list --watch --json`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase P02: `orca doctor` network + db full implementation
+
+**Goal:** Replace the `NetworkStub` and `DBStub` placeholders with real diagnostics — peer reachability via mTLS `/healthz` probe and SQLite `PRAGMA integrity_check` + migration version — completing REQ-032.
+
+**Requirements:** REQ-032 (completion: network reachability + db integrity)
+**Milestone:** v0.3
+**Phase tag:** v0.3.2
+**Key decisions:** D-027 (closure-capture handles in check constructors), D-033 (`store.MigrationVersion`), D-034 (db check opens its own `*sql.DB`), D-035 (`PRAGMA integrity_check` + migration version), D-036 (peers from `nodes` table, not in-memory registry), D-037 (`ServerName = node.Name`), D-038 (zero peers → WARN, any fail → FAIL, 3s per-probe timeout), D-039 (`dbPath` → `certpaths.DBPath()`), D-040 (delete stubs, no shims).
+
+### Wave 1: Shared infra + store migration-version query (vertical slice)
+
+Wave 1 breaks the would-be `doctor → cli` import cycle (D-039) and adds the public `store.MigrationVersion` query. Both are independently testable: `go test ./internal/store/... ./internal/certpaths/...` passes after this wave, and the foundation for both the db and network checks is in place.
+
+| Task ID | Description | Persona | Files | Must-have | Deps |
+|---------|-------------|---------|-------|-----------|------|
+| 02-01-01 | Move `dbPath()` (the `ORCA_DB`-env-honoring path resolver) from `internal/cli` to `internal/certpaths` as `DBPath()` (D-039). `certpaths` already owns the `ORCA_HOME`-honoring `Dir()`. Add `func DBPath() string` to `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go`: honors `ORCA_DB` env override, else `filepath.Join(Dir(), "orca.db")`. Update `internal/cli/node.go` (and any other `internal/cli` caller of the old unexported `dbPath`) to call `certpaths.DBPath()`; remove the old `dbPath` from `internal/cli`. Territory note: this crosses cli-engineer territory — lead-developer adjudicates (D-039). | lead-developer | `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go`, `internal/cli/node.go` (remove old `dbPath`), any other `internal/cli/*` caller | `go build ./...` succeeds (no import cycle); `certpaths.DBPath()` exists and honors `ORCA_DB`/`ORCA_HOME`; `internal/cli` no longer defines `dbPath`; existing CLI tests pass. | - |
+| 02-01-02 | Add `store.MigrationVersion(ctx, db) (string, error)` to `internal/store/migrate.go` (D-033). SQL: `SELECT name FROM schema_migrations ORDER BY name DESC LIMIT 1`. Returns `("", nil)` on `sql.ErrNoRows` (empty/fresh db). Wraps other errors with `fmt.Errorf("query migration version: %w", err)`. Add `"context"` import if missing (likely already imported). | data-engineer | `internal/store/migrate.go` | `go build ./internal/store/...` succeeds; function is exported; `sql.ErrNoRows` maps to `("", nil)`. | - |
+| 02-01-03 | Test `MigrationVersion`. New/append `internal/store/migrate_test.go`: `TestMigrationVersion` — open a fresh test db via `store.Open` (which runs `migrate`), call `MigrationVersion`, assert it returns `0005_node_capacity.sql` (the highest current migration). Then manually `db.Exec("DELETE FROM schema_migrations")`, call again, assert `("", nil)`. Run `go test -race ./internal/store/...`. | data-engineer | `internal/store/migrate_test.go` | `go test -race ./internal/store/...` passes; both assertions (highest version, empty → `""`) hold. | 02-01-02 |
+
+### Wave 2: doctor DB check + network check + CLI wiring + tests
+
+Wave 2 depends on Wave 1 (`certpaths.DBPath` + `store.MigrationVersion`). It replaces both stubs with real checks, updates `All()` and the CLI subcommands, rewrites the broken stub test, and adds per-check tests. After this wave `orca doctor`, `orca doctor network`, and `orca doctor db` are fully functional.
+
+| Task ID | Description | Persona | Files | Must-have | Deps |
+|---------|-------------|---------|-------|-----------|------|
+| 02-02-01 | Replace `DBStub()` with `DB()` in `internal/doctor/doctor.go` (D-027, D-034, D-035). The `Check.Run` closure: `path := certpaths.DBPath()`; `db, err := store.Open(path)` (defer `db.Close()`); `PRAGMA integrity_check` via `db.QueryRowContext(ctx, "PRAGMA integrity_check").Scan(&integrity)`; FAIL if not `"ok"` (first line of message); then `store.MigrationVersion(ctx, db)` — WARN if `""` (fresh/never-migrated), else PASS with `"... migrations up to <ver>"`. New imports: `strings`, `internal/store`, `internal/certpaths`. | data-engineer | `internal/doctor/doctor.go` | `go build ./internal/doctor/...` succeeds; `doctor.DB()` returns a `Check` with `Name=="db"`; `DBStub` still present (removed in 02-02-04 lockstep). | 02-01-01, 02-01-02 |
+| 02-02-02 | Add `probeHealthz(ctx, caPath, certPath, keyPath, serverName, addr) error` helper in `internal/doctor/doctor.go` (network-engineer territory — connection lifecycle). Builds an mTLS client via `transport.NewMTLSClient(caPath, serverName, certPath, keyPath)` (D-037: `serverName = node.Name`), `http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, GET, "https://"+addr+"/healthz", nil)`, `client.Do(req)`, defer `resp.Body.Close()`, FAIL if status != 200. New imports: `net/http`, `time`, `internal/transport`. | network-engineer | `internal/doctor/doctor.go` | `go build ./internal/doctor/...` succeeds; `probeHealthz` exists with the specified signature; reuses `transport.NewMTLSClient` (no new TLS code — security-engineer territory respected). | 02-01-01 |
+| 02-02-03 | Replace `NetworkStub()` with `Network()` in `internal/doctor/doctor.go` (D-036, D-037, D-038). The `Check.Run` closure: `path := certpaths.DBPath()`; `db, err := store.Open(path)` (defer close); `nodes, err := store.NewNodeRepo(db).List(ctx)`; filter `state != model.NodeStateLeft` into `live`; if `len(live)==0` → `ResultWarn` ("no peers registered; network check skipped (single-node?)"). Else per-peer: `probeCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 3*time.Second)`; `probeHealthz(...)`; collect PASS/FAIL lines; aggregate — FAIL if any peer failed, PASS if all OK. `serverName = n.Name`, `caPath = certpaths.CACertPath()`, `certPath/keyPath = certpaths.ServerCertPath()/ServerKeyPath()`. New imports: `internal/model`. | network-engineer | `internal/doctor/doctor.go` | `go build ./internal/doctor/...` succeeds; `doctor.Network()` returns a `Check` with `Name=="network"`; zero-peer → WARN; per-probe 3s timeout enforced. | 02-02-02 |
+| 02-02-04 | Update `All()` in `internal/doctor/doctor.go` to use `Network()` and `DB()` instead of the stubs (D-040). **Delete** `NetworkStub` and `DBStub` (no backward-compat shims — internal only). Update `internal/cli/doctor.go`: `doctorNetworkCmd.RunE` calls `doctor.Network()` (was `NetworkStub()`); `doctorDBCmd.RunE` calls `doctor.DB()` (was `DBStub()`). Ensure per-subcommand render honors `jsonOutput` (minor enhancement, in scope). | cli-engineer | `internal/doctor/doctor.go`, `internal/cli/doctor.go` | `go build ./...` succeeds; `grep -r "NetworkStub\|DBStub" internal/` returns nothing; `orca doctor`, `orca doctor network`, `orca doctor db` run without referencing stubs. | 02-02-01, 02-02-03 |
+| 02-02-05 | Rewrite + add doctor tests in `internal/doctor/doctor_test.go`. (a) Rewrite `TestRunAllChecksWithNoCA` — set `ORCA_HOME` to a temp dir with no CA. Assert per-check by name: `cert.ca` FAIL, `cert.server` FAIL, `cert.expiry` FAIL, `cert.fingerprint` FAIL, `db` PASS (store.Open runs migrations → version 0005), `network` WARN (no peers). Remove the stale "expects WARN (stubs)" comment. (b) `TestDBCheck_IntegrityOK` — fresh db via `store.Open` in temp, run `doctor.DB().Run(ctx)`, expect PASS, message contains "0005". (c) `TestNetworkCheck_NoPeers` — fresh db, no nodes, run `doctor.Network().Run(ctx)`, expect WARN. (d) `TestNetworkCheck_PeerUnreachable` — insert a node with `Address = "127.0.0.1:1"` (nothing listening), run, expect FAIL with the peer name in the message. (e) `TestNetworkCheck_PeerReachable` (integration) — bootstrap a CA via `security.CAInit`-equivalent, generate+sign a server cert with SAN `localhost`, start an `httptest.NewUnstartedServer` with TLS + `ClientAuth=RequireAndVerifyClientCert` (mirror `security/integration_test.go` pattern), insert a node row with `Address = ts.Listener.Addr().String()` and `Name = "localhost"`, set `ORCA_HOME`, run `doctor.Network().Run(ctx)`, expect PASS. Run `go test -race ./internal/doctor/...`. | network-engineer (network tests), data-engineer (db test), cli-engineer (All() rewrite test) | `internal/doctor/doctor_test.go` | `go test -race ./internal/doctor/...` passes; all 5 test cases pass; the stale stub assertion is gone. | 02-02-04 |
+
+### Test strategy (P02)
+
+- **Store layer:** `internal/store/migrate_test.go` — `MigrationVersion` returns highest applied migration (`0005_node_capacity.sql`) and `""` on empty. (`-race`.)
+- **Doctor db check:** `TestDBCheck_IntegrityOK` — fresh db → PASS with version in message. (Optional brittle `TestDBCheck_Corrupt` may be added if a reliable corruption method is found; otherwise rely on the integrity-string parsing logic via the PASS/FAIL branch coverage.)
+- **Doctor network check:** `TestNetworkCheck_NoPeers` (WARN), `TestNetworkCheck_PeerUnreachable` (FAIL, peer name in message), `TestNetworkCheck_PeerReachable` (integration: real mTLS `httptest` server → PASS). The reachable test reuses the proven `TestEndToEndMTLS` pattern from `security/integration_test.go`.
+- **Doctor `All()` regression:** rewritten `TestRunAllChecksWithNoCA` asserts per-check results (certs FAIL, db PASS, network WARN) — no more global "hasWarn" stub assertion.
+- **Race:** `go test -race ./...` is the gate.
+
+### Vertical slice integrity (P02)
+
+- **Wave 1** produces a runnable, testable artifact: `certpaths.DBPath()` (cycle broken) + `store.MigrationVersion` (tested). `go test -race ./internal/store/... ./internal/certpaths/...` passes. No doctor code depends on the stubs being changed yet.
+- **Wave 2** builds on Wave 1 to deliver the real `DB()` and `Network()` checks, wires the CLI, and replaces the stub tests. After Wave 2 an operator can demo `orca doctor` showing real PASS/WARN/FAIL for db and network.
+
+---
+
+## Phase P03 (final): review + ship + audit
+
+**Goal:** Review the v0.3 milestone for completeness against REQ-022/030/032, audit the codebase for leftover stubs/dead code, run the full CI gate (`go test -race ./...`, `gosec`, `govulncheck`, `gitleaks`), tag the milestone release, and ship.
+
+**Requirements:** REQ-022 (verify complete), REQ-030 (verify complete), REQ-032 (verify complete)
+**Milestone:** v0.3
+**Phase tag:** v0.3.3 (= milestone release; target milestone tag `v0.4.0` per ROADMAP next-minor rule)
+
+### Wave 1: Review + audit + ship (single wave)
+
+| Task ID | Description | Persona | Files | Must-have | Deps |
+|---------|-------------|---------|-------|-----------|------|
+| 03-01-01 | Verify REQ coverage: confirm REQ-022 (iter.Seq streaming job lists), REQ-030 (--watch table/JSON modes), REQ-032 (doctor network + db) are fully implemented. Update `REQUIREMENTS.md` status for REQ-022/030/032 from Pending/Partial → **Complete**. Cross-check against the plan's must-have criteria. | lead-developer | `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md` | All three REQs marked Complete with phase references; no remaining "stub" or "Pending" status for v0.3 scope. | P01, P02 complete |
+| 03-01-02 | Codebase audit: `grep -r "NetworkStub\|DBStub" internal/` returns nothing; `grep -r "TODO\|FIXME" internal/` reviewed (no v0.3 leftovers); confirm no `dbPath` duplication remains in `internal/cli`; confirm `iter` import is used (no unused imports); run `go vet ./...`. | lead-developer | (read-only audit; edits only if cleanup needed) | `go vet ./...` clean; no stub references; no leftover TODOs for v0.3 scope. | 03-01-01 |
+| 03-01-03 | Full CI gate: `go build ./...`, `go test -race ./...`, `gosec` (vs baseline JSON), `govulncheck ./...` (offline mode per REQ-027), `gitleaks` (vs baseline per REQ-029). Fix any new findings. | lead-developer | (fixes if needed) | All gates green; no new gosec findings beyond baseline; govulncheck exit 0; gitleaks clean vs baseline. | 03-01-02 |
+| 03-01-04 | Tag + ship: per `.ciagent/RELEASE_POLICY.md`, tag `v0.3.3` (phase tag) and the milestone tag (next-minor per ROADMAP). Produce Gitea release. Update `ROADMAP.md` v0.3 section to mark P01/P02/P03 complete. | lead-developer | `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` | `v0.3.3` tag exists; Gitea release published; ROADMAP v0.3 checkboxes updated. | 03-01-03 |
+
+### Test strategy (P03)
+
+- No new tests; this phase is review + audit + release.
+- The gate is the existing test suite + security scans all passing under CI.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-phase notes
+
+- **Phase ordering / parallelism (D-042, revised by G-003):** P01 Wave 1 and P02 Wave 1 may run in parallel (file-disjoint: store repos vs certpaths+migrate). **P02 Wave 1 (02-01-01) MUST complete before P01 Wave 2 (01-02-04)** because both modify `internal/cli/node.go` (P01 adds `--watch`, P02 removes old `dbPath`). P01 Wave 2 tasks 01-02-01..01-02-03 (job.go only) are not blocked by P02. Recommended order: P01 W1 + P02 W1 in parallel → P02 W1 02-01-01 completes → P01 W2 (job.go tasks) + P02 W2 in parallel → P01 W2 01-02-04 (node.go) after 02-01-01. P03 is strictly sequential after both phases complete.
+- **No new dependencies (D-041):** `iter` (P01) and the mTLS health probe (P02) use stdlib + existing internal packages only. The 4 direct `go.mod` deps (cobra, hcl/v2, modernc/sqlite, uuid) are unchanged.
+- **Decisions logged during planning (new, this plan):**
+  - **D-043** — `watchInterval` test hook: an unexported package var in `internal/store` (default `1 * time.Second`) referenced by both `Watch` methods, overridable from `_test.go`. Avoids a public `WatchWithInterval` constructor that would leak test-only API into production. Confidence 0.90.
+  - **D-044** — P01 Wave 1 / Wave 2 split: Wave 1 = store-layer `Watch` methods + tests (data-engineer only, fully isolated); Wave 2 = CLI `--watch` flag + renders + CLI tests (cli-engineer). This keeps the `iter.Seq` contract verifiable without the CLI and matches persona territories. Confidence 0.93.
+  - **D-045** — P02 Wave 1 / Wave 2 split: Wave 1 = `certpaths.DBPath()` relocation + `store.MigrationVersion` + tests (breaks the import cycle, data-engineer + lead-developer); Wave 2 = real `DB()`/`Network()` checks + CLI wiring + doctor tests. Wave 1 is the unblock for both checks. Confidence 0.91.
+  - **D-046** — `--watch --json` event wrapper shape: `{"event":"update","job":{...}}` / `{"event":"init","job":{...}}` (and `node` analog). `"init"` on first sighting of an ID, `"update"` on subsequent change. Unchanged IDs on a tick emit nothing. Confidence 0.80 (matches D-030's per-event interpretation of REQ-030).
+
+## Grill amendments (binding ACCEPT verdicts applied)
+
+Three binding changes from `.ciagent/GRILL_v0.3.md` have been applied to this plan:
+
+- **G-001 [CRITICAL]** — `Watch` element type changed from `iter.Seq[*model.Job]` (per-row) to `iter.Seq[[]*model.Job]` (full snapshot per tick). Each tick yields the complete snapshot as a single slice. This makes table render mode correct (clear-screen + re-render needs full snapshot) and enables natural `"delete"` events in JSON mode. Applied to tasks 01-01-01, 01-01-02, 01-02-02, 01-02-03, 01-02-04, 01-01-04.
+- **G-002 [CRITICAL]** — `Watch` must yield immediately on the first iteration, then `select` on the ticker for subsequent ticks. Prevents a 1s blank-screen UX bug in production (tests with 10ms interval missed this). Applied to tasks 01-01-01, 01-01-02; new test `TestWatch_ImmediateFirstYield` added to 01-01-04.
+- **G-003 [HIGH]** — D-042's "file-disjoint" claim corrected: both P01 (01-02-04) and P02 (02-01-01) modify `internal/cli/node.go`. P02 Wave 1 task 02-01-01 is now a dependency of P01 Wave 2 task 01-02-04. Cross-phase ordering updated.
+
+DEFER items (G-004, G-006, G-007, G-009, G-012) are noted in the grill report and will be addressed during execution.
+
+## Summary
+
+- **Phases:** 3 (P01, P02 execution; P03 final review/ship)
+- **Waves:** P01 = 2 waves (4 + 5 tasks); P02 = 2 waves (3 + 5 tasks); P03 = 1 wave (4 tasks). Total = 5 waves.

+# Plan: Orca v0.5 — Distribution
+
+Vertical-slice plan for the v0.5 Distribution milestone. Each phase is a
+vertical slice that ships independently as a patch on the v0.4.x line.
+The final phase (P4) is the milestone release (promoted to v0.5.0).
+
+## Requirement → Phase Mapping
+
+| REQ | Phase | Priority |
+|-----|-------|----------|
+| REQ-045 (public releases) | P0 ship (operational) | High |
+| REQ-041 (ORCA_HOME unified namespace) | P1 | High |
+| REQ-042 (--system flag) | P1 | High |
+| REQ-043 (install.sh 1-liner) | P2 | High |
+| REQ-044 (in-place update) | P2 | High |
+| REQ-046 (docker release) | P3 | Medium |
+| REQ-016 (README quickstart) | P2 | Medium (completion) |
+
+## Phase 1 — Namespace Unification (REQ-041, REQ-042)
+
+**Goal**: Single `ORCA_HOME` env var as namespace root for all
+on-disk state; `--system` flag selects `/root/.orca`.
+
+**Persona**: backend-engineer (store/certpaths routing) + cli-engineer
+(`--system` flag).
+
+**Wave 1** (single wave — no inter-task dependencies):
+
+| Task | File(s) | Persona | REQ |
+|------|---------|---------|-----|
+| T1.1: Route `store.Open("")` through `certpaths.DBPath()` | `internal/store/store.go` | backend-engineer | REQ-041 |
+| T1.2: Route `init` command through `certpaths.Dir()` | `internal/cli/init.go` | backend-engineer | REQ-041 |
+| T1.3: Add `--system` persistent flag on `rootCmd` + `PersistentPreRunE` that sets `ORCA_HOME=/root/.orca` | `internal/cli/root.go` | cli-engineer | REQ-042 |
+| T1.4: Add `namespace_test.go` covering user-level, `ORCA_HOME` override, `--system` | `internal/cli/namespace_test.go` | cli-engineer | REQ-041/042 |
+| T1.5: Update `docs/namespace.md` (paths reference) | `docs/namespace.md` | backend-engineer | REQ-041 |
+
+**Must-haves**:
+- `go test ./...` passes (including new namespace_test.go).
+- `ORCA_HOME=/tmp/x orca init` creates `/tmp/x` (not `~/.orca`).
+- `orca --system init` creates `/root/.orca` (when run as root).
+- Empty `ORCA_HOME` + no `--system` → `~/.orca` (backward compat).
+
+**Verification**: 4-layer (structural: gofmt/vet; behavioral: namespace_test
++ existing doctor_test; security: no new secret surface; quality: no
+regression in existing tests).
+
+**Ship**: tag `v0.4.2`.
+
+## Phase 2 — install.sh + In-Place Update (REQ-043, REQ-044, REQ-016)
+
+**Goal**: 1-liner installer from public Gitea releases; idempotent
+update-in-place; README quickstart.
+
+**Persona**: devops-engineer.
+
+**Wave 1**:
+
+| Task | File(s) | Persona | REQ |
+|------|---------|---------|-----|
+| T2.1: Write `scripts/install.sh` (curl 1-liner, user/system, latest/pinned, in-place update) | `scripts/install.sh` | devops-engineer | REQ-043/044 |
+| T2.2: Write `scripts/install_test.sh` (mocked download, path verification, update-in-place) | `scripts/install_test.sh` | devops-engineer | REQ-043/044 |
+| T2.3: Update README quickstart with 1-liner install + `--system` variant | `README.md` | devops-engineer | REQ-016 |
+| T2.4: Write `docs/install.md` (full install reference, troubleshooting, ORCA_HOME) | `docs/install.md` | devops-engineer | REQ-043 |
+
+**install.sh spec** (per R-006):
+- Default: user-level. Binary → `~/.local/bin/orca`. Namespace → `~/.orca`.
+- `--system`: binary → `/usr/local/bin/orca`, namespace → `/root/.orca`. Requires root (uid 0).
+- `--version vX.Y.Z`: pin version. Default: query `/api/v1/repos/coreci/orca/releases/latest`.
+- Download `orca-{tag}-linux-{arch}.tar.gz` from the release asset.
+- In-place update: if `orca` exists at install path, run `orca version --json`,
+  parse `version`, print "updated from X to Y". Overwrite binary. **Never**
+  touch the namespace dir.
+- Detect arch: `amd64` (x86_64), `arm64` (aarch64).
+- Idempotent: re-running with same version is a no-op (or reinstalls).
+
+**Must-haves**:
+- `bash scripts/install_test.sh` passes (mocked).
+- `curl -fsSL <url> | bash` works on a fresh system (verified in P4 e2e).
+- `curl -fsSL <url> | bash -s -- --system` installs to `/usr/local/bin` (as root).
+- Re-running updates the binary; `~/.orca/orca.db` preserved.
+
+**Verification**: 4-layer (structural: shellcheck; behavioral:
+install_test.sh; security: no secret in script, no eval of remote
+content beyond the script itself; quality: idempotent).
+
+**Ship**: tag `v0.4.3`.
+
+## Phase 3 — Docker Release (REQ-046)
+
+**Goal**: Multi-stage Dockerfile; publish to Gitea container registry
+per release.
+
+**Persona**: devops-engineer.
+
+**Wave 1**:
+
+| Task | File(s) | Persona | REQ |
+|------|---------|---------|-----|
+| T3.1: Write `Dockerfile` (multi-stage: golang:1.25 → distroless/static-debian12) | `Dockerfile` | devops-engineer | REQ-046 |
+| T3.2: Extend `scripts/release.sh` with docker build + login + push | `scripts/release.sh` | devops-engineer | REQ-046 |
+| T3.3: Add `container-publish` step to `.coreci.yml` release pipeline | `.coreci.yml` | devops-engineer | REQ-046 |
+| T3.4: Write `docs/docker.md` (docker run quickstart, volume mounts, ORCA_HOME) | `docs/docker.md` | devops-engineer | REQ-046 |
+| T3.5: Add `.dockerignore` (exclude .git, bin, .env, *.tar.gz) | `.dockerignore` | devops-engineer | REQ-046 |
+
+**Dockerfile spec** (per R-005):
+- Stage 1 (`golang:1.25`): `CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -trimpath -ldflags=... -o /orca ./cmd/orca`.
+- Stage 2 (`gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot`): `COPY --from=builder /orca /orca`, `ENV ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca`, `ENTRYPOINT ["/orca"]`.
+- `ARG VERSION` + `ARG GIT_COMMIT` + `ARG BUILD_TIME` for ldflags injection.
+- Image runs as `nonroot` user (distroless default) — `ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca` must be volume-mounted.
+
+**release.sh extension**:
+- After Gitea release: `docker build --build-arg VERSION=$VERSION ... -t git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:$VERSION -t git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:latest .`
+- `echo "$GITEA_TOKEN" | docker login git.cloudinit.dev -u cloudinit-bot --password-stdin`
+- `docker push git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:$VERSION` + `docker push git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:latest`
+- Skip gracefully if `docker` not on PATH (local dev without docker).
+
+**.coreci.yml extension**:
+- New step `container-publish` in the `release` pipeline, using an image with docker CLI (e.g., `docker:24-cli` with docker-in-docker service, or a custom image). Per P-001 pitfall.
+
+**Must-haves**:
+- `docker build -t orca-test .` succeeds locally.
+- `docker run --rm orca-test version` prints the version.
+- `scripts/release.sh vX.Y.Z` publishes both the Gitea release AND the container image.
+- `.coreci.yml` release pipeline includes the container-publish step.
+
+**Verification**: 4-layer (structural: Dockerfile lint; behavioral: docker
+build + run; security: no secret in image, .env excluded; quality:
+reproducible build via ARGs).
+
+**Ship**: tag `v0.4.4`.
+
+## Phase 4 — Final Review + Ship + Audit (Milestone Release)
+
+**Goal**: Multi-persona review, audit, milestone ship.
+
+**Tasks**:
+| Task | Persona | Detail |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| T4.1: `ciagent-review` | all | Review P1-P3 changes across personas |
+| T4.2: `ciagent-audit` | lead-developer | Reconstruction test, file/branch/commit discipline |
+| T4.3: End-to-end verification | lead-developer | Unauth curl to releases API (REQ-045 ✓), fresh install.sh (REQ-043 ✓), `--system` (REQ-042 ✓), update-in-place (REQ-044 ✓), docker pull+run (REQ-046 ✓) |
+| T4.4: Milestone ship | lead-developer | Merge phase/04 → milestone/v0.5 → main, tag v0.4.5, create milestone release, build + upload all artifacts |
+| T4.5: Complete milestone | lead-developer | Update REQUIREMENTS.md (REQ-041..046 complete), ROADMAP.md (v0.5 complete), clear CHECKPOINT.json |
+
+**Ship**: tag `v0.4.5` (the milestone release, promoted to `v0.5.0`).
+
+## Wave Ordering Summary
+
+All 4 phases are single-wave (no inter-phase dependencies within a
+phase). Phases execute strictly sequentially: P1 → P2 → P3 → P4.
+
+- **P1** (Wave 1): T1.1..T1.5 — namespace unification.
+- **P2** (Wave 1): T2.1..T2.4 — install.sh.
+- **P3** (Wave 1): T3.1..T3.5 — docker.
+- **P4** (Wave 1): T4.1..T4.5 — review + ship.
+
+## Versioning
+
+- P0 ship: `v0.4.1` (first patch on v0.4.x line after v0.4.0 milestone tag).
+- P1 ship: `v0.4.2`.
+- P2 ship: `v0.4.3`.
+- P3 ship: `v0.4.4`.
+- P4 ship: `v0.4.5` (final phase = milestone release, promoted to `v0.5.0`).
+
+Tags run on the v0.4.x line (previous minor). The milestone branch label
+is `milestone/v0.5-distribution`. No separate minor tag — the final
+phase's patch IS the milestone release per `run.md` versioning logic
+for feature milestones.

+# Phase Plans: Orca v0.6 — Node Bootstrap & Proxmox
+
+All 3 execution phases + final review with vertical-slice structure,
+wave ordering, and REQ-ID mapping. v0.6 scope: **Node Bootstrap &
+Proxmox** — `orca init` full bootstrap, Proxmox SSH join, doctor
+extensions.
+
+Branching: branches numbered from phase 12 onward (v0.1 used 01-07,
+v0.2 used 08-11, v0.3 used 00+01-03, v0.5 used 00+01-04). v0.6 uses
+`phase/01-*`..`phase/04-*` on the `milestone/v0.6-node-bootstrap-proxmox`
+branch (numbering restarts per milestone per branch-strategy.md).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: `orca init` Full Bootstrap + Schema 0006 (Wave 1)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/01-init-bootstrap`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-047, REQ-048, REQ-049
+**Persona leads**: data-engineer (schema), backend-engineer (init orchestration), cli-engineer (output UX)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### data-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/store/migrations/0006_node_kind_os.sql` — `ALTER TABLE nodes ADD COLUMN kind TEXT; ALTER TABLE nodes ADD COLUMN os TEXT;` (nullable, backward-compatible)
+- [ ] `internal/model/node.go` — add `Kind string `json:"kind,omitempty"`` + `OS string `json:"os,omitempty"`` fields; add `NodeKind` constants (`NodeKindLocalhost`, `NodeKindLinux`, `NodeKindProxmox`)
+- [ ] `internal/store/node_repo.go` — extend `Insert`/`Get`/`List`/`Watch`/`scanNode` for `kind, os` columns (use `sql.NullString`, map NULL → `""`); add `GetByName(ctx, name) (*Node, error)` and `UpdateLastSeenAndOS(ctx, id, os string) error` helpers
+- [ ] `internal/store/node_repo_test.go` — extend tests for new columns + helpers; assert NULL → `""` mapping; assert `GetByName` returns `ErrNotFound` for missing; assert `UpdateLastSeenAndOS` refreshes `last_seen` + `os` without changing `id`/`joined_at`
+
+#### backend-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/init.go` — full bootstrap sequence (replace current 35-line mkdir-only impl):
+  - [ ] MkdirAll(certpaths.Dir(), 0o755) — keep
+  - [ ] store.Open(certpaths.DBPath()) — runs migrations 0001..0006
+  - [ ] security.CAInit(certpaths.Dir(), "orca-internal-ca") — idempotent (existing fast-path)
+  - [ ] if !exists(certpaths.ServerCertPath()): GenerateCSR("localhost", ["localhost","127.0.0.1"]) → ca.SignCSR → WriteCert + WriteKey
+  - [ ] detectOS() from /etc/os-release (see cli-engineer territory)
+  - [ ] localhost node upsert: GetByName("localhost") → if found UpdateLastSeenAndOS; else Insert with kind=localhost, os=<detected>, name="localhost", addr="localhost:8443"
+  - [ ] print summary (CA fp, server cert fp, os, node id, db path)
+- [ ] `internal/cli/init_test.go` — idempotency test: run init twice, assert no duplicate localhost node, last_seen refreshed, os unchanged; assert CA/cert not regenerated on re-run; assert doctor passes after init
+
+#### cli-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/osdetect.go` (NEW) — `detectOS() string`: read `/etc/os-release` then fall back to `/usr/lib/os-release`; parse `KEY=VALUE` lines via bufio.Scanner + strings.SplitN; strip surrounding quotes; return `ID` value or `"linux"` fallback. Map ubuntu/debian/alpine → verbatim; unknown values stored verbatim (not masked).
+- [ ] `internal/cli/osdetect_test.go` — test parsing with sample os-release content (ubuntu, debian, alpine, missing file, missing ID=, unknown ID, quoted values)
+- [ ] `internal/cli/init.go` output UX — multi-step progress lines: "✓ Namespace dir: ...", "✓ Database initialized: ...", "✓ CA provisioned: ... (fp=...)", "✓ Server cert provisioned: ... (fp=...)", "✓ OS detected: ubuntu", "✓ Localhost node registered: <id>"; `--json` outputs a single JSON summary object
+
+### Verification
+
+- `go build ./...` PASS
+- `go test ./internal/store/... ./internal/cli/... ./internal/model/...` PASS
+- `go test -race ./...` PASS
+- `orca init` on a fresh namespace → creates dir, db, CA, server cert, localhost node; `orca doctor` passes with zero FAILs
+- `orca init` re-run → no duplicate localhost node, last_seen refreshed, CA/cert not regenerated (idempotent, D-036)
+- `orca init --json` → valid JSON summary
+- `orca node list` shows the localhost node with kind=localhost, os=<detected>
+- Migration 0006 applies cleanly on existing dbs (existing rows get NULL kind/os → scanned as `""`)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Proxmox SSH Join (Wave 1)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/02-proxmox-join`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-050, REQ-051
+**Persona leads**: security-engineer (SSH key, TOFU, sudoers, PVE role), backend-engineer (SSH session orchestration), cli-engineer (flag wiring)
+**Depends on**: Phase 1 (migration 0006 + Node.Kind/OS fields)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### dependency + security-engineer territory
+- [ ] `go.mod` / `go.sum` — add `golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0`; bump `golang.org/x/sys` to v0.47.0; add `golang.org/x/term v0.45.0` (indirect). Run `go mod tidy`.
+- [ ] `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go` — add `SSHKeyPath() → Dir()/orca_ssh_key`, `SSHPubPath() → Dir()/orca_ssh_key.pub`, `KnownHostsPath() → Dir()/known_hosts`
+- [ ] `internal/security/sshkey.go` (NEW) — `GenerateOrLoadSSHKey(dir string) (keyPEM, pubLine []byte, err error)`:
+  - [ ] If `orca_ssh_key` + `.pub` exist → load + return (idempotent)
+  - [ ] Else: `ed25519.GenerateKey(rand.Reader)` → `x509.MarshalPKCS8PrivateKey` → PEM encode → `writeAtomic(keyPath, 0600, keyPEM)`; `ssh.NewPublicKey(pub)` → `ssh.MarshalAuthorizedKey` → `writeAtomic(pubPath, 0644, pubLine)`
+  - [ ] Return keyPEM (for `ssh.ParsePrivateKey`) + pubLine (authorized_keys line)
+- [ ] `internal/security/sshkey_test.go` — test generate → load round-trip; test idempotent re-load; test file modes (0600/0644); test `ssh.ParsePrivateKey` accepts the PKCS8 PEM
+
+#### backend-engineer territory (with security-engineer co-own)
+- [ ] `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` (NEW package) — `BootstrapProxmox(ctx context.Context, opts Options) (*Result, error)`:
+  - **Options**: `Host, SSHUser, Password, ProxmoxUser (default "orca"), ProxmoxRole (default "OrcaOperator"), Port (default 22)`, `Logger *slog.Logger`
+  - **Step 1**: `security.GenerateOrLoadSSHKey(certpaths.Dir())` → keyPEM, pubLine
+  - **Step 2**: Build `ssh.ClientConfig` with `ssh.Password(opts.Password)` auth + `knownhosts.New(certpaths.KnownHostsPath())` HostKeyCallback (TOFU: captures on first connect, verifies on subsequent)
+  - **Step 3**: `ssh.Dial("tcp", host:port, config)` with 10s timeout
+  - **Step 4**: Deploy pubkey — `session.CombinedOutput("mkdir -p ~orca/.ssh && touch ~orca/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 0700 ~orca/.ssh && chmod 0600 ~orca/.ssh/authorized_keys && grep -qF '<publine>' ~orca/.ssh/authorized_keys || echo '<publine>' >> ~orca/.ssh/authorized_keys")` (idempotent append)
+  - **Step 5**: Create orca system user — `session.CombinedOutput("id -u orca 2>/dev/null || useradd -m -s /bin/bash orca")` (idempotent)
+  - **Step 6**: Create PVE role — `session.CombinedOutput("pveum role list 2>/dev/null | grep -q '^OrcaOperator' || pveum role add OrcaOperator --privs 'VM.Audit Datastore.AllocateSpace SDN.Use'")` (idempotent; use opts.ProxmoxRole for the name)
+  - [ ] Step 7: Create PVE user — `session.CombinedOutput("pveum user list 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'orca@pam' || pveum user add orca@pam -comment 'Orca automation user'")` (idempotent; use opts.ProxmoxUser)
+  - [ ] Step 8: Assign ACL — `session.CombinedOutput("pveum acl modify / -user orca@pam -role OrcaOperator")` (idempotent)
+  - [ ] Step 9: Write sudoers — resolve binary paths via `command -v pct` etc.; write `/etc/sudoers.d/orca` (mode 0440) with NOEXEC on pct/qm, no NOEXEC on apt-get/dpkg; exclude pvesh (AD-020)
+  - [ ] Step 10: Validate sudoers — `session.CombinedOutput("visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/orca")`; abort + cleanup if validation fails
+  - [ ] Step 11: Audit log — `logger.Info("proxmox.bootstrap_ok", slog.String("host", opts.Host), slog.String("user", opts.ProxmoxUser), slog.String("role", opts.ProxmoxRole))`
+  - [ ] **Result**: `Node{Kind: "proxmox", OS: "pve", Name: opts.Host, Address: opts.Host + ":8443"}`
+- [ ] `internal/proxmox/bootstrap_test.go` — unit tests with a mock SSH server (`httptest`-style or `net.Pipe` + manual SSH handshake) OR test the command-builder functions in isolation (probe commands, sudoers content, idempotency checks). Integration test against a real Proxmox host is out of scope for unit tests (flagged as `// +build integration`).
+
+#### cli-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/node.go` — extend `nodeJoinCmd`:
+  - [ ] Add `--type` flag (values: `localhost` default, `linux`, `proxmox`)
+  - [ ] Add `--host`, `--ssh-user` (default `root`), `--password`, `--proxmox-user` (default `orca`), `--proxmox-role` (default `OrcaOperator`), `--ssh-port` (default `22`) flags
+  - [ ] When `--type proxmox`: validate `--host` + (`--password` or `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD`) are set; call `proxmox.BootstrapProxmox(ctx, opts)`; insert the returned node via `NodeRepo.Insert`; print summary
+  - [ ] When `--type localhost` (default): existing flow (fingerprint check + registry.Join)
+  - [ ] Password from `--password` flag OR `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD` env var (prefer env var per D-031; never log the password; zero the byte slice after use)
+- [ ] `internal/cli/node_test.go` — test flag wiring; test `--type proxmox` validation (missing host/password → error); test env var fallback
+
+### Verification
+
+- `go build ./...` PASS
+- `go test ./internal/proxmox/... ./internal/security/... ./internal/cli/...` PASS
+- `go test -race ./...` PASS
+- `go mod tidy` leaves no unused deps; `go.sum` has `golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0`
+- `orca node join --type proxmox --host <pve-host> --password <pw>` on a real Proxmox 8/9 host:
+  - Creates orcaOperator role, orca@pam user, ACL, sudoers file
+  - `orca@pam` can `sudo pct list`, `sudo qm list`, `sudo apt-get update` without password
+  - `orca@pam` CANNOT `sudo pvesh` (not in sudoers)
+  - `orca@pam` CANNOT `sudo bash` (not in sudoers)
+  - `visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/orca` passes
+  - Re-running the join command is idempotent (no duplicate role/user/ACL/sudoers/key)
+- `orca node list` shows the proxmox node with kind=proxmox, os=pve
+- Audit log contains `proxmox.bootstrap_ok` entry with host, user, role
+- `~/.orca/orca_ssh_key` is 0600, `.pub` is 0644, `known_hosts` contains the PVE host key

+## Phase 3: Doctor Extensions + Audit Logging (Wave 2)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/03-doctor-extensions`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-052
+**Persona leads**: cli-engineer (subcommand wiring), backend-engineer (check logic), security-engineer (audit logging)
+**Depends on**: Phase 1 (localhost node + os field), Phase 2 (proxmox nodes + SSH client)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### backend-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/doctor/doctor.go` — add `OS()` check:
+  - Re-run `detectOS()` (from `internal/cli/osdetect.go` — extract to shared package or pass as param)
+  - Load localhost node via `NodeRepo.GetByName("localhost")`
+  - Compare detected OS to stored `node.OS`; drift → WARN ("OS drift: init=ubuntu, now=debian — re-run `orca init` to refresh"); match → PASS
+  - Missing localhost node → FAIL ("no localhost node — run `orca init`")
+- [ ] `internal/doctor/doctor.go` — add `Proxmox()` check (clone `Network()` pattern):
+  - List nodes from `NodeRepo`, filter `kind == "proxmox"`
+  - Zero proxmox nodes → WARN ("no proxmox nodes registered (single-node?)")
+  - Per node: load orca SSH key, build `ssh.ClientConfig` with `ssh.PublicKeys(signer)` + `knownhosts.New`, dial with 3s timeout, run `pveversion` via session
+  - PASS = reachable + pveversion exits 0; FAIL = unreachable or pveversion fails
+  - Accumulate per-node lines (clone `Network()`'s `lines []string` pattern)
+- [ ] `internal/doctor/doctor.go` — extend `All()` to include `OS()` and `Proxmox()`
+- [ ] `internal/doctor/doctor_test.go` — test `OS()` with mock node repo (drift, match, missing); test `Proxmox()` with mock nodes (zero nodes → WARN, reachable → PASS, unreachable → FAIL)
+
+#### cli-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/doctor.go` — add `doctorOSCmd` + `doctorProxmoxCmd` subcommands wired to `doctor.OS()` / `doctor.Proxmox()`; add to `doctorCmd.AddCommand(...)`
+- [ ] `internal/cli/doctor.go` — `doctor os` and `doctor proxmox` honor `--json` flag (reuse existing pattern)
+
+#### security-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/audit/audit.go` (extend) — emit `proxmox.bootstrap_ok`, `proxmox.bootstrap_fail`, `node.os_drift` events with structured slog fields
+- [ ] Audit log entries for all bootstrap + join actions (REQ-052): `orca init` emits `init.bootstrap_ok` (os, node_id, ca_fp); `orca node join --type proxmox` emits `proxmox.bootstrap_ok` (host, user, role); `doctor os` drift emits `node.os_drift` (init_os, current_os)

+
+## Wave Ordering
+
+- **Wave 1** (Phases 1-2): Schema + init bootstrap (P01) is a hard
+  prerequisite for Proxmox join (P02) — P02 depends on the `Node.Kind`/
+  `OS` fields + migration 0006 from P01. `parallelization.enabled=false`
+  → sequential.
+- **Wave 2** (Phase 3): Doctor extensions depend on both P01 (localhost
+  node + os field for `doctor os`) and P02 (proxmox nodes + SSH client
+  for `doctor proxmox`).
+- **Wave 3** (Phase 4): Final review + ship + audit — covers all
+  execution phases.
+
+For v0.6, `parallelization.enabled=false` — phases run sequentially.
+
+## Versioning
+
+- **Milestone type**: `feature` (P01/P02/P03 ship `feat` phases)
+- **Patch per phase**: `v0.5.0` (P0), `v0.5.1` (P01), `v0.5.2` (P02), `v0.5.3` (P03), `v0.5.4` (P04 final = milestone release)
+- Tags run on the previous minor's patch line (v0.5.x) per branch-strategy.md

+v0.3 is a lean 2-execution-phase milestone completing the streaming and

+were auto-resolved under full autonomy:

+| D-021 | Doctor network check scope? | **Probe configured peer addresses via mTLS `/healthz` handshake; PASS/WARN/FAIL per peer** | Reuses existing transport client; read-only. | 0.85 |
+| D-022 | Doctor db check scope? | **`PRAGMA integrity_check` + migration version query** | Already specced in ARCHITECTURE.md §5; minimal surface. | 0.95 |
+| D-023 | iter.Seq cancellation? | **`signal.NotifyContext` on SIGINT/SIGTERM** | Per D-017 + ARCHITECTURE Flow 4. | 0.95 |
+| D-024 | `--watch` applies to job list only, or node list too? | **Both `orca job list --watch` and `orca node list --watch`** | Per ARCHITECTURE.md CLI layer + D-017. | 0.92 |
+
+## v0.3 Scope Summary
+
+v0.3 is a focused 2-execution-phase milestone completing the work
+deferred from v0.2 that was NOT already shipped in P08-P10. A codebase
+audit during re-init SPECIFY confirmed that REQ-014, REQ-027, REQ-028,
+REQ-029, REQ-031, REQ-037, REQ-039, REQ-040 all shipped in P08-P10
+despite stale REQUIREMENTS.md marking them Pending. The remaining work:
+
+- **P01 — `iter.Seq` streaming for `--watch` flags.** Go 1.25+
+  range-over-func semantics, pull-based `iter.Seq[Job]` /
+  `iter.Seq[Node]`, `context.Context` cancellation,
+  `signal.NotifyContext` on ctrl-c. Applies to both `orca job list
+  --watch` and `orca node list --watch`. Covers REQ-022, REQ-030.
+- **P02 — `orca doctor` network + db full implementation.** Replaces
+  the P01 stubs (`NetworkStub`, `DBStub`) with real checks: peer
+  reachability via mTLS `/healthz` probe; SQLite `PRAGMA
+  integrity_check` + migration version. Covers REQ-032 (completion).
+
+The vision ("minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration
+engine") is unchanged. v0.3 is a completion milestone, not a direction
+change.
+
+## v0.5 Scope Summary — Distribution
+
+v0.5 is a 3-execution-phase milestone that makes Orca installable,
+distributable, and containerized. The engine functionality from
+v0.1–v0.3 is unchanged; this milestone is purely about **delivery
+surface**:
+
+- **P01 — Namespace unification.** A single `ORCA_HOME` environment
+  variable becomes the namespace root for *all* on-disk state (db,
+  certs, init, daemon). A `--system` flag on the root command selects
+  the system-level namespace root `/root/.orca`. Backward compatible:
+  empty `ORCA_HOME` → `~/.orca`. Covers REQ-041, REQ-042.
+- **P02 — `install.sh` + in-place update.** A 1-liner installer pulls
+  the release binary from the public Gitea release URL, installs at
+  user level by default (`~/.local/bin/orca`) or system level
+  (`/usr/local/bin/orca`) with `--system`. Re-running updates the
+  binary in place while preserving config/db/certs in the namespace
+  dir. Idempotent. Covers REQ-043, REQ-044. Also updates README
+  quickstart (REQ-016 completion).
+- **P03 — Docker release.** A multi-stage `Dockerfile` builds a
+  distroless image; `scripts/release.sh` and `.coreci.yml` publish the
+  image to the Gitea container registry per release. Covers REQ-046.
+- **P04 — Final review + ship + audit.** Milestone release.
+
+The vision ("minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration
+engine") is unchanged. v0.5 is a distribution milestone, not a
+direction change.
+
+## v0.5 Clarified Decisions (D-series, full autonomy)
+
+The 5 v0.5 decisions (D-025..D-029) were auto-resolved under full
+autonomy during the CLARIFY stage:
+
+| ID | Question | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
+|----|----------|----------|-----------|------------|
+| D-025 | System-level namespace path layout? | **`/root/.orca`** (mirror of user-level `~/.orca`) | Consistent shape with user-level; just a different root. Matches the user's "starts at /root" wording. Single dir keeps it simple. | 0.90 |
+| D-026 | Namespace override mechanism at runtime? | **Unify on `ORCA_HOME`** as single namespace root for all components (db, certs, init, daemon). Add `--system` flag that sets root to `/root/.orca`. | `ORCA_HOME` already exists for certs; extend to all components. Backward compatible (empty → `~/.orca`). One knob, not many. | 0.92 |
+| D-027 | Docker registry target? | **Gitea built-in container registry** (`git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca`) | Keeps everything in one forge; uses Gitea's native registry. Consistent with REQ-045 (public repo → public image pulls). | 0.88 |
+| D-028 | How to make releases publicly accessible (REQ-045)? | **Flip repo visibility to public** via `tea repos edit coreci/orca --private=false` during P0 ship | Simplest path to anonymous downloads; enables both install.sh pulls and docker pulls. Pre-existing `.env` leak already suppressed via gitleaks baseline + rotate-forward (commit 00127ce). | 0.85 |
+| D-029 | install.sh default version? | **Latest release** (query Gitea releases API), optional `--version vX.Y.Z` to pin | Matches typical 1-liner installer UX; users get newest by default, can pin for reproducibility. | 0.92 |
+
+### v0.5 Operational prerequisite (P0 ship)
+
+The Gitea repo `coreci/orca` is currently **private** (returns 404
+unauthenticated). P0 ship flips visibility to public via `tea repos
+edit coreci/orca --private=false` so that `install.sh` can pull
+release binaries unauthenticated (REQ-045). This is an operational
+step performed during the P0 ship, verified by an unauth `curl`
+against the releases API.
+
+## v0.6 Scope Summary — Node Bootstrap & Proxmox
+
+v0.6 is a 3-execution-phase milestone that turns `orca init` from a
+bare `mkdir` into a full single-node cluster bootstrap, and adds
+Proxmox 8 & 9 as a first-class remote node type joined over SSH with
+least-privilege role delegation. The engine functionality from
+v0.1–v0.5 is unchanged; this milestone is about **bootstrap
+ergonomics** and **heterogeneous node support**:
+
+- **P01 — `orca init` full bootstrap.** A single `orca init` call now:
+  (a) creates the namespace dir (`~/.orca` or `/root/.orca` with
+  `--system`); (b) runs all DB migrations including the new 0006
+  (`nodes.kind`, `nodes.os` — backward-compatible nullable columns);
+  (c) bootstraps the internal CA via `security.CAInit` if `ca.crt` is
+  absent; (d) generates the server cert via `security.GenerateCSR` +
+  `ca.SignCSR` if `server.crt` is absent; (e) auto-detects the local
+  OS via `/etc/os-release` `ID=` field (ubuntu/debian/alpine); (f)
+  registers a `localhost` node with `kind=localhost`, `os=<detected>`,
+  `addr=localhost:8443` if no localhost node exists yet. After
+  `orca init`, `orca doctor` MUST pass with zero FAILs. Idempotent:
+  re-running `orca init` is a no-op (or refresh) for already-provisioned
+  artifacts. Covers REQ-047, REQ-048, REQ-049.
+- **P02 — Proxmox SSH join.** `orca node join --type proxmox --host
+  <addr> --user root --password <pw>` (password via flag or
+  `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD`, **never persisted**) bootstraps a remote
+  Proxmox 8/9 host via `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh` (new direct dep).
+  Steps: (1) SSH password-auth; (2) generate or load orca's SSH
+  keypair (`~/.orca/orca_ssh_key` / `.pub`, 0600/0644); (3) deploy
+  pubkey to remote `~orca/.ssh/authorized_keys`; (4) create `orca`
+  user (config-overridable name via `--proxmox-user`, default `orca`);
+  (5) create PVE custom role `OrcaOperator` (config-overridable via
+  `--proxmox-role`) with privileges `VM.Audit`,
+  `Datastore.AllocateSpace`, `SDN.Use`; (6) assign role to `orca`
+  user on `/`; (7) drop `/etc/sudoers.d/orca` allowlist (`pct`, `qm`,
+  `pvesh`, `apt-get`, `dpkg` — no shell-escape commands); (8) record
+  node row `kind=proxmox`, `os=pve`, audit log. Idempotent re-run.
+  Covers REQ-050, REQ-051.
+- **P03 — `doctor os` + `doctor proxmox`.** Extends `orca doctor`
+  with two new checks: `doctor os` re-runs `/etc/os-release` detection
+  and verifies it matches the stored localhost node row's `os` field
+  (drift = WARN); `doctor proxmox` iterates `kind=proxmox` nodes and
+  SSH-probes each with `pveversion` / `pvecmd status` (3s timeout per
+  peer per D-038 pattern), reporting PASS/WARN/FAIL per node. All
+  bootstrap + join actions emit structured audit-log entries. Covers
+  REQ-052.
+- **P04 — Final review + ship + audit.** Milestone release.
+
+The vision ("minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration
+engine") is unchanged. v0.6 is a bootstrap-ergonomics + heterogeneous-
+nodes milestone, not a direction change.
+
+## v0.6 Clarified Decisions (D-series, full autonomy)
+
+The 8 v0.6 decisions (D-030..D-037) were resolved during the CLARIFY
+stage — D-030..D-034 confirmed by the operator in plan mode, D-035..D-037
+auto-resolved at full autonomy within the `clarify_budget`:
+
+| ID | Question | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
+|----|----------|----------|-----------|------------|
+| D-030 | SSH library for Proxmox join? | **`golang.org/x/crypto/ssh`** | Stdlib-adjacent, well-maintained, single new direct dep. Matches orca's minimal-deps ethos. Shell-out to `/usr/bin/ssh` would require openssh-client on the orca host and complicate password-auth + idempotent pubkey deploy. | 0.92 (operator-confirmed) |
+| D-031 | Proxmox join password handling? | **Flag/env only, never persisted** | `--password` flag or `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD` is used once to deploy the orca pubkey + create the `orca` user; the password is never written to SQLite. Subsequent orca→Proxmox access uses the deployed SSH key. | 0.95 (operator-confirmed) |
+| D-032 | Localhost OS auto-detect signal? | **`/etc/os-release` `ID=` field** | Parse `ID=` from `/etc/os-release`; map `ubuntu`/`debian`/`alpine` → node `os`. Falls back to `linux` (unknown) if none match. Simplest reliable signal across the three target distros. | 0.93 (operator-confirmed) |
+| D-033 | Least-privilege Proxmox role granularity? | **Custom PVE role `OrcaOperator`** with `VM.Audit`, `Datastore.AllocateSpace`, `SDN.Use` + `/etc/sudoers.d/orca` allowlist (`pct`, `qm`, `pvesh`, `apt-get`, `dpkg`) | Config-overridable role + user names. Sufficient for "manage the host, VMs/CTs, storage, packages" without granting root shell. Built-in `PVEAuditor` is too read-only; full `Administrator` is too broad. | 0.88 (operator-confirmed) |
+| D-034 | Node kind/os schema? | **Add `nodes.kind` + `nodes.os` columns via migration 0006** | Schema-first, queryable, doctor can branch on kind. Nullable with `localhost`/`""` defaults for existing rows (backward-compatible). data-engineer owns the migration. | 0.94 (operator-confirmed) |
+| D-035 | SSH host-key verification on first Proxmox connect? | **TOFU: pin on first connect, refuse on mismatch thereafter** | First connect uses `ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey` to capture the host key; it is then persisted to `~/.orca/known_hosts` (or the nodes metadata) and all subsequent connects require a match. Balances first-run ergonomics against MITM risk on subsequent runs. Switching to pre-pinned keys is a future enhancement. | 0.82 (auto) |
+| D-036 | `orca init` idempotency semantics for already-provisioned artifacts? | **Skip-and-refresh, never overwrite** | If `ca.crt` exists → load it (no regen). If `server.crt` exists → keep it (no reissue). If a localhost node row exists → update `last_seen` + re-detect `os`, never insert a duplicate. If DB migrations are ahead → no-op. If `~/.orca` exists → MkdirAll is a no-op. Idempotent re-run is a hard requirement (REQ-047). | 0.95 (auto) |
+| D-037 | orca SSH keypair location + algorithm? | **`~/.orca/orca_ssh_key` (0600) + `~/.orca/orca_ssh_key.pub` (0644), Ed25519** | Ed25519 keys are smaller, faster, and more secure than RSA for SSH auth. Stored in the orca namespace dir alongside ca.crt/server.crt so `ORCA_HOME` relocation works. File modes mirror the cert file-mode discipline (REQ-033 spirit). Generated lazily on first `orca node join --type proxmox`, not at `orca init` (localhost doesn't need SSH). | 0.90 (auto) |
+
+### v0.6 clarification notes
+
+- **D-035 TOFU caveat**: TOFU (trust-on-first-use) is the standard SSH
+  UX and matches the operator-mediated model from D-012 (CA cert
+  distribution). The operator is expected to verify the host key
+  fingerprint out-of-band on first connect if the network is
+  untrusted. A future milestone may add `--host-key-fingerprint` pin
+  flag to `orca node join --type proxmox` for pre-pinned deployments.
+- **D-036 idempotency**: re-running `orca init` on a node that already
+  has a localhost row updates `last_seen` and re-detects `os` (in case
+  the host OS was upgraded) but does NOT change the node `ID` or
+  `joined_at`. This makes `orca init` safe to put in a systemd
+  ExecStartPre or a config-management runbook.
+- **D-037 Ed25519**: `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh` + `golang.org/x/crypto/ed25519`
+  are in the same module; no additional direct dep beyond D-030.

+## Codebase Audit Summary
+
+### Current state (commit ba5ffd7 + phase docs)
+
+| Area | File | Key finding |
+|------|------|-------------|
+| CLI `job list` | `internal/cli/job.go:112-143` | `jobListCmd.RunE` calls `store.NewJobRepo(db).List(ctx)`, prints a fixed-width table; `--json` via `printJSON(jobs)`. No `--watch` flag exists. |
+| CLI `node list` | `internal/cli/node.go:155-186` | `nodeListCmd.RunE` calls `registry.List(ctx)` → `repo.List(ctx)`. Table + `--json`. No `--watch` flag. |
+| CLI root | `internal/cli/root.go` | `jsonOutput` is a package-level `bool` set by `--json` persistent flag. `printJSON` uses `json.NewEncoder` with 2-space indent. |
+| Job repo | `internal/store/job_task_repo.go` | `JobRepo.List(ctx) ([]*model.Job, error)` — single-shot query, closes rows. `scanJob` helper is reusable. |
+| Node repo | `internal/store/node_repo.go` | `NodeRepo.List(ctx) ([]*model.Node, error)`. `scanNode` helper is reusable. `scanner` interface defined here (`Scan(dest ...any) error`) — shared by `*sql.Row` and `*sql.Rows`. |
+| Store open | `internal/store/store.go` | `store.Open(path)` opens with `?_pragma=journal_mode(WAL)&_pragma=foreign_keys(ON)` and runs `migrate(db)`. |
+| Migrations | `internal/store/migrate.go` | `migrate` is unexported, runs at `Open` time. `schema_migrations` table tracks applied migrations by filename. Migrations are embedded via `//go:embed migrations/*.sql`. No public API to query migration version. |
+| Migrations on disk | `internal/store/migrations/` | `0001_nodes.sql`, `0002_jobs_tasks.sql`, `0003_audit_log.sql`, `0004_certs.sql`, `0005_node_capacity.sql`. Highest = 0005. |
+| Doctor | `internal/doctor/doctor.go` | `NetworkStub()` and `DBStub()` return WARN stubs. `All()` aggregates 6 checks. `Run(ctx)` iterates checks. `Check.Run` signature: `func(ctx context.Context) (Result, string)`. `Result` is `PASS|WARN|FAIL`. No DB or transport imports — cert-only. |
+| Doctor CLI | `internal/cli/doctor.go` | `doctorNetworkCmd`/`doctorDBCmd` call `doctor.NetworkStub()`/`doctor.DBStub()` directly. |
+| Doctor tests | `internal/doctor/doctor_test.go` | Two tests: `TestRunAllChecksWithNoCA` (expects FAIL + WARN for stubs), `TestRunWithCAAndServerCert` (cert checks PASS). Uses `t.Setenv("ORCA_HOME", dir)`. **The "expects WARN" assertion will break when stubs become real checks** — must be updated in P02. |
+| Transport mTLS client | `internal/transport/mtls.go` | `NewMTLSClient(caPath, serverName, certPath, keyPath)` builds an `http.Client` with a TLS-1.3-only config from `security.ClientTLSConfig`. `MTLSClient.Do(req)`. `DialContext` for low-level TLS dial. |
+| Transport dispatch client | `internal/transport/dispatch.go` | `NewDispatchClient(caPath, serverName, peerAddr)` wraps `MTLSClient`. `PeerAddr` is `http://` or `https://`. `Submit`/`Status` POST to `/orca.v1.Dispatch/*`. No `/healthz` GET helper. |
+| Daemon health | `internal/daemon/health.go` | `handleHealthz` → 200 `{"status":"alive"}`. `handleReadyz` → 200/503 with db ping. Mounted at `mux.HandleFunc("/healthz", ...)` in `server.go:104`. |
+| Daemon TLS | `internal/daemon/tls.go` | `StartMTLS(state)` sets `httpServer.TLSConfig` with `ClientAuth = RequireAndVerifyClientCert`. The daemon **requires client certs** in mTLS mode. |
+| Peer registry | `internal/engine/peer.go` | `PeerRegistry` is **in-memory only** (`map[string]*Peer` under `sync.RWMutex`). `NewPeerRegistry()` returns empty. `Peer` has `NodeID, Address, ServerName, CAPath, LastSeen, Capacity`. **Not persisted to SQLite.** |
+| Peer registry usage | `internal/cli/job.go:70`, `internal/cli/daemon.go:47` | Both create a **fresh empty** `NewPeerRegistry()` per process. No code ever calls `peers.Add(...)`. The registry is currently a structural placeholder. |
+| Node registry | `internal/engine/registry.go` | `NodeRegistry` wraps `store.NodeRepo` + `Audit`. `List(ctx)` → `repo.List(ctx)`. Persisted to `nodes` table. |
+| Node model | `internal/model/node.go` | `Node{ID, Name, Address, State, JoinedAt, LastSeen, Metadata}`. **No `ServerName` or `CAPath` field** — `model.Node` differs from `engine.Peer`. |
+| Cert paths | `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go` | `Dir()` honors `ORCA_HOME`; `CACertPath()`, `ServerCertPath()`, `ServerKeyPath()`. |
+| Security client TLS | `internal/security/tls_config.go:106` | `ClientTLSConfig(caPath, serverName, certPath, keyPath)` — TLS 1.3 only, AEAD allowlist, `RootCAs` = single CA. Both-or-neither for cert/key. |
+| Go version | `go.mod` + `go version` | `go 1.25.0` — `iter` package and range-over-func are stable stdlib. |
+| Deps | `go.mod` | cobra, hcl/v2, modernc/sqlite, uuid. **No new deps needed for v0.3.** `iter` is stdlib. |
+
+### Critical gap analysis
+
+1. **`PeerRegistry` is non-persistent and always empty at CLI time.** The
+   doctor network check cannot rely on it — there is no code path that populates
+   it. The `nodes` table IS persisted and has `Address`, but lacks the
+   `ServerName`/`CAPath` needed for an mTLS probe. **Resolution: doctor network
+   reads the `nodes` table via `NodeRepo.List`, and derives `ServerName` +
+   `CAPath` from local config (`certpaths.CACertPath()` + node name/addr).**
+   See D-029.
+
+2. **`doctor.Run` / `Check.Run` do not plumb a `*sql.DB` or transport client.**
+   The cert checks are filesystem-only. P02 must extend the check constructors
+   to accept a DB handle and (for network) a transport client factory. The
+   `Check.Run` signature (`func(ctx) (Result, string)`) is preserved by
+   closure-capturing the handles in the constructor. See D-027, D-031.
+
+3. **No public migration-version query.** `migrate()` is unexported and writes
+   to `schema_migrations(name, applied_at)`. P02 adds a public
+   `store.MigrationVersion(ctx, db)` (or method on a repo) that selects the max
+   applied migration name. See D-033.
+
+4. **Doctor test `TestRunAllChecksWithNoCA` asserts a WARN from stubs.** This
+   will break when stubs become real (the db check will PASS with a fresh test
+   DB, and the network check will WARN/FAIL on zero peers). Must be updated.
+   See D-036.

+## P01: iter.Seq Streaming for `--watch` Flags
+
+Covers REQ-022 (`iter.Seq` for streaming job lists), REQ-030 (`--watch` output
+format: table default vs streaming one-line JSON per event).
+
+### Decisions
+
+| ID | Decision | Confidence |
+|----|----------|------------|
+| **D-025** | `iter.Seq` lives on the store repos, not the engine registry. `JobRepo.Watch(ctx) iter.Seq[*model.Job]` and `NodeRepo.Watch(ctx) iter.Seq[*model.Node]`. Rationale: repos already own the `*sql.DB` and the `scanJob`/`scanNode` helpers; engine.Registry.List just delegates to repo. Keeping Watch in the store layer matches the data-engineer territory and avoids a new engine→store iter dependency. | 0.90 |
+| **D-026** | Element type is `*model.Job` / `*model.Node` (pointer), matching the existing `[]*model.Job` return of `List`. This keeps `printJSON` and table rendering identical between one-shot and watch paths. | 0.88 |
+| **D-027** | The `Check.Run` signature in `doctor` is unchanged; P02 captures DB/transport handles in closure at constructor time (`Network(db)`, `DB(db)`). This is the established pattern (cert checks already closure-capture `certpaths`). | 0.92 |
+| **D-028** | Watch refresh = poll-based 1s ticker (per D-019). No event channel, no daemon coupling. Each tick re-runs the existing `List` query and yields the **full current snapshot** (one element per row). The CLI dedupes by detecting snapshot equality before re-rendering (see D-030). Rationale: simpler than NOTIFY/LISTEN, no daemon dependency, matches offline-first. | 0.90 |
+| **D-029** | `--watch` output: default = re-print the table on every changed snapshot (clear screen via ANSI `\033[2J\033[H` then table); `--watch --json` = one compact JSON line **per snapshot** (an array on each line, OR one line per element — see D-030). The CLI tracks the previous snapshot's hash to avoid spamming identical frames. | 0.85 |
+| **D-030** | `--watch --json` emits **one JSON object per element per tick where the element changed**, i.e. streaming one-line JSON per event (per REQ-030 wording). Implementation: on each tick, for each element, if its JSON bytes differ from the previous snapshot's bytes for that ID, print `{"event":"update","job":{...}}\n`. On first tick, print all as `{"event":"init",...}`. This is the most useful for AI agents tailing the stream. Confidence lower because REQ-030 is ambiguous between "array per tick" and "object per event"; the per-event interpretation matches "streaming one-line JSON per event" literally. | 0.72 |
+| **D-031** | Cancellation: `signal.NotifyContext(ctx, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)` at the CLI command layer, **replacing** the current `context.WithTimeout(cmd.Context(), 5*time.Second)` for the watch path only. The non-watch `list` path keeps its 5s timeout. The `iter.Seq` receives this ctx and stops yielding on `ctx.Done()`. | 0.93 |
+| **D-032** | The `iter.Seq` implementation **must not leak goroutines**: the polling loop runs **inline in the yield callback's caller goroutine** (the `range` loop), not a separate goroutine. `for range seq { ... }` drives the pull; inside `Watch`, we loop `for { select { <-ticker.C: query+yield each; <-ctx.Done(): return } }` and call `yield(item)` directly. When `yield` returns false (consumer broke the loop), we stop and return. **No goroutine is spawned by Watch.** This is the cleanest Go 1.25 iter pattern and avoids leak surface entirely. | 0.95 |
+
+### Implementation approach — store layer
+
+**File: `internal/store/job_task_repo.go`** — add method:
+
+```go
+// Watch yields the current snapshot of jobs on a 1-second ticker until
+// ctx is cancelled or the consumer stops pulling (yield returns false).
+// It does not spawn a goroutine; the polling loop runs in the caller's
+// goroutine via the range-over-func pull protocol.
+//
+// Each tick re-runs the List query and yields one *model.Job per row.
+// The caller is responsible for deduping across ticks if desired.
+func (r *JobRepo) Watch(ctx context.Context) iter.Seq[*model.Job] {
+    return func(yield func(*model.Job) bool) {
+        ticker := time.NewTicker(1 * time.Second)
+        defer ticker.Stop()
+        for {
+            select {
+            case <-ctx.Done():
+                return
+            case <-ticker.C:
+            }
+            // Reuse the existing List query + scanJob helper.
+            rows, err := r.db.QueryContext(ctx,
+                `SELECT id, name, spec, status, exit_code, created_at, started_at, ended_at
+                 FROM jobs ORDER BY created_at DESC`)
+            if err != nil {
+                // Surfacing errors from inside iter.Seq is awkward; the
+                // CLI layer cannot receive a returned error. Log via slog
+                // (the repo doesn't hold a logger today — see D-034) and
+                // continue to next tick rather than terminating the
+                // stream. A transient DB blip should not kill the watch.
+                continue
+            }
+            for rows.Next() {
+                j, err := scanJob(rows)
+                if err != nil {
+                    rows.Close()
+                    return
+                }
+                if !yield(j) {
+                    rows.Close()
+                    return // consumer stopped
+                }
+            }
+            rows.Close()
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**File: `internal/store/node_repo.go`** — add analogous `Watch`:
+
+```go
+func (r *NodeRepo) Watch(ctx context.Context) iter.Seq[*model.Node] {
+    return func(yield func(*model.Node) bool) {
+        ticker := time.NewTicker(1 * time.Second)
+        defer ticker.Stop()
+        for {
+            select {
+            case <-ctx.Done():
+                return
+            case <-ticker.C:
+            }
+            rows, err := r.db.QueryContext(ctx,
+                `SELECT id, name, address, state, joined_at, last_seen, metadata
+                 FROM nodes ORDER BY joined_at ASC`)
+            if err != nil {
+                continue
+            }
+            for rows.Next() {
+                n, err := scanNode(rows)
+                if err != nil {
+                    rows.Close()
+                    return
+                }
+                if !yield(n) {
+                    rows.Close()
+                    return
+                }
+            }
+            rows.Close()
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Imports: add `"iter"` and `"time"` (time already present in both files). The
+`iter` package is imported only for the return type; `yield` is the callback.
+
+**Note on the existing `scanner` interface:** `scanJob`/`scanNode` accept the
+`scanner` interface (`Scan(dest ...any) error`) satisfied by both `*sql.Row`
+and `*sql.Rows`, so they are directly reusable in `Watch` — no refactor needed.
+
+### Implementation approach — CLI layer
+
+**File: `internal/cli/job.go`** — modify `jobListCmd`:
+
+1. Add a package var `jobWatch bool` and register `jobListCmd.Flags().BoolVar(&jobWatch, "watch", false, "stream jobs until Ctrl-C")`.
+2. In `RunE`, branch on `jobWatch`:
+   - If `!jobWatch`: keep the existing 5s-timeout `List` path.
+   - If `jobWatch`:
+     - `ctx, cancel := signal.NotifyContext(cmd.Context(), os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM); defer cancel()` (drop the 5s timeout).
+     - `seq := store.NewJobRepo(db).Watch(ctx)`
+     - If `jsonOutput`: stream one-line JSON per event (D-030). Maintain a `map[string][]byte` of last-seen JSON per job ID. On each yielded job, marshal compact JSON; if it differs from the stored bytes (or ID unseen), print `{"event":"update","job":{...}}\n` and update the map.
+     - Else (table): on each tick, after collecting the full snapshot, compare against the previous snapshot (by hashing the rendered table string or by comparing the slice of `[]*model.Job` via reflect/cmp). If changed, emit `"\033[2J\033[H"` (clear) then the table header + rows. This gives a "top-like" refresh.
+
+   Because `iter.Seq` does not return an error, the watch path swallows
+   per-tick query errors inside `Watch` (D-034). The CLI relies on `ctx.Done()`
+   for termination.
+
+**File: `internal/cli/node.go`** — analogous change to `nodeListCmd`:
+- Add `nodeWatch bool`, register `--watch` flag.
+- Branch in `RunE`; `seq := store.NewNodeRepo(db).Watch(ctx)` (open a fresh `openDB()` for the watch path; `registry.List` is not used for watch — go straight to the repo to get the iter).
+
+**Note:** `nodeListCmd` currently goes through `nodeRegistry()` which wraps
+`NodeRepo` in `engine.NodeRegistry`. For watch, bypass the registry and use
+`store.NewNodeRepo(db).Watch(ctx)` directly — the registry adds no value for a
+read-only stream and would require a `Watch` passthrough method. This keeps the
+iter boundary clean in the store layer (D-025).
+
+### Pitfalls & mitigations (P01)
+
+| Pitfall | Mitigation |
+|---------|------------|
+| **Goroutine leak** if Watch spawned a goroutine. | It doesn't — the polling loop is inline in the pull callback (D-032). `defer ticker.Stop()` + `rows.Close()` on every exit path. |
+| **Rows cursor held open across yield** — if `yield` blocks (e.g. slow consumer), the `*sql.Rows` stays open and holds a SQLite read lock. | Yield is called per-row inside the `rows.Next()` loop; the consumer (`range`) is fast (prints to stdout). For safety, close rows immediately after the loop or on `yield==false`. The 1s tick cadence bounds how long a cursor is held. WAL mode (set in `store.Open`) allows concurrent reads, so this does not block writers. |
+| **No error channel from iter.Seq** — a transient DB error is invisible to the CLI. | Log inside Watch via a package-level slog default (`slog.Default().Warn(...)`) since the repo has no logger field today (D-034: add an optional `logger *slog.Logger` to JobRepo/NodeRepo, defaulting to `slog.Default()` in the constructors — minimal change). Continue to next tick rather than terminating. |
+| **ctx cancellation mid-query** — `QueryContext` returns an error; `rows.Next()` returns false. | Handled: the `select` on `ctx.Done()` returns before the next tick; an in-flight query is cancelled by the ctx. |
+| **Rapid re-render flicker** in table mode. | Clear-screen + full re-render on changed snapshot only (hash compare). Unchanged snapshots produce no output. |
+| **`--watch` + `--json` interleaving with slog stderr.** | slog writes to stderr; CLI output to stdout — no interleaving on stdout. Safe. |
+| **Test determinism** — ticker is 1s, tests would be slow/flaky. | Provide a test-only constructor `WatchWithInterval(ctx, d time.Duration)` OR make the interval a field on the repo set via an unexported option. Preferred: an unexported `watchInterval` package var defaulting to 1s, overridable from `internal/store` tests. See D-035. |
+| **Signal handling clobbers root signal handler.** | `signal.NotifyContext` with `os.Interrupt` returns a fresh ctx; the root `cobra.Command` does not install its own SIGINT handler, so no conflict. `defer cancel()` restores default behavior on exit. |
+
+### Test strategy (P01)
+
+**`internal/store/job_task_repo_test.go` (new file or appended):**
+- `TestJobRepoWatch_YieldsSnapshots`: insert 1 job, call `Watch` with a 10ms interval (via test hook), range over `seq` collecting into a slice, insert a 2nd job from a goroutine after 30ms, cancel ctx after 80ms, assert the 2nd job appeared in the collected slice. Use `context.WithTimeout` for cancellation.
+- `TestJobRepoWatch_StopsOnConsumerBreak`: range over `seq` and `break` after the first yield; assert the function returns (no hang) within a short deadline. This validates the `yield==false` path.
+- `TestJobRepoWatch_StopsOnCtxCancel`: cancel ctx; assert the range loop exits within 50ms.
+- `TestNodeRepoWatch_*`: mirror the above for nodes.
+
+**`internal/cli/job_test.go` (new) / `node_test.go` (new) — if CLI tests exist; otherwise add:**
+- `TestJobListWatch_JSONStreaming`: spin a temp DB, insert a job, invoke the `jobListCmd.RunE` with `--watch --json` in a goroutine, insert a 2nd job, capture stdout for ~200ms, assert two JSON lines appear. Cancel via ctx.
+- `TestJobListWatch_TableRefresh`: assert clear-screen escape + table re-render on change.
+- These CLI tests are harder to make deterministic; prefer testing the store-layer Watch thoroughly and keep CLI watch tests to a smoke-level "produces output, exits on ctx.Done".
+
+### Dependency check (P01)
+
+- `iter` — Go 1.25 stdlib (`go.mod` declares `go 1.25.0`). ✅ no new dep.
+- `time`, `context`, `os/signal`, `syscall`, `encoding/json` — stdlib. ✅
+- No new go.mod dependencies required.

+
+## P02: `orca doctor` network + db full implementation
+
+Covers REQ-032 completion (network + db checks replacing `NetworkStub`/`DBStub`).
+
+### Decisions
+
+| ID | Decision | Confidence |
+|----|----------|------------|
+| **D-033** | Add a public `store.MigrationVersion(ctx, db) (string, error)` function (in `migrate.go` or a new `internal/store/migrate_query.go`) that returns the **highest applied migration filename** from `schema_migrations`. SQL: `SELECT name FROM schema_migrations ORDER BY name DESC LIMIT 1`. This is the source of truth for "migration version" — it reflects what `migrate()` actually applied. Returns `("", nil)` if no migrations applied (fresh empty table) and `("", sql.ErrNoRows)` is treated as empty. | 0.90 |
+| **D-034** | The doctor DB check opens its own `*sql.DB` via `store.Open(dbPath())` (reusing the CLI's `dbPath`) inside the check constructor closure, rather than receiving a shared handle. Rationale: doctor should be runnable whether the daemon is up or down; `store.Open` uses WAL so a concurrent daemon is fine. The check `defer db.Close()`. This avoids threading a `*sql.DB` through `doctor.Run`/`All()` and keeps the `Check.Run` signature stable. | 0.86 |
+| **D-035** | The doctor DB check runs `PRAGMA integrity_check` via `db.QueryRow("PRAGMA integrity_check")`. SQLite returns a single row with a TEXT value: `"ok"` on success, or a multi-line error description on failure. PASS if the value is `"ok"`; FAIL otherwise (with the first line of the message). Plus query the migration version (D-033); WARN if `schema_migrations` is empty (fresh/never-migrated db) — this is suspicious but not corrupt. | 0.92 |
+| **D-036** | Doctor network check sources peer addresses from the **`nodes` table** (`NodeRepo.List`), NOT from `engine.PeerRegistry` (which is in-memory and always empty at CLI time — see gap #1). For each node with `state != 'left'`, probe `https://<address>/healthz` over mTLS. | 0.88 |
+| **D-037** | For each peer, the network check builds an mTLS client via `transport.NewMTLSClient(certpaths.CACertPath(), serverName, certpaths.ServerCertPath(), certpaths.ServerKeyPath())`. `serverName` is derived as the node's `Name` (the SAN on a peer's server cert is its node name, per `security.GenerateCSR(nodeName, sans)` — confirmed in `integration_test.go:41` `GenerateCSR("test-server", ...)`. If the SAN uses a different value the probe will fail handshake, which is itself a useful diagnostic). `CAPath` is the local `ca.crt` (all peers share one CA per D-011). This presents the local node's client cert, satisfying the daemon's `RequireAndVerifyClientCert`. | 0.80 |
+| **D-038** | Network check result semantics: **zero peers registered** → `WARN` ("no peers registered; network check skipped") — not FAIL, because a single-node install legitimately has no peers. **A peer unreachable / handshake failed** → `FAIL` for that peer, aggregated to a single `network` check result that is FAIL if any peer failed, PASS if all peers probed OK, WARN if zero peers. Each peer's per-line outcome is folded into the message string (e.g. `PASS — 2/2 peers reachable; FAIL — peer node-b (host:port): tls handshake error`). | 0.85 |
+
+### Implementation approach — db check
+
+**File: `internal/store/migrate.go`** — add:
+
+```go
+// MigrationVersion returns the filename of the most recently applied
+// migration, or "" if no migrations have been applied (empty db or
+// schema_migrations table missing). Used by `orca doctor db`.
+func MigrationVersion(ctx context.Context, db *sql.DB) (string, error) {
+    var name string
+    err := db.QueryRowContext(ctx,
+        `SELECT name FROM schema_migrations ORDER BY name DESC LIMIT 1`).Scan(&name)
+    if err == sql.ErrNoRows {
+        return "", nil
+    }
+    if err != nil {
+        return "", fmt.Errorf("query migration version: %w", err)
+    }
+    return name, nil
+}
+```
+
+(Add `"context"` import — already imported in migrate.go.)
+
+**File: `internal/doctor/doctor.go`** — replace `DBStub()` with `DB()`:
+
+```go
+// DB checks SQLite integrity and migration version (REQ-032).
+// It opens its own *sql.DB so it can run whether or not the daemon is up.
+func DB() Check {
+    return Check{
+        Name:        "db",
+        Description: "SQLite PRAGMA integrity_check + migration version",
+        Run: func(ctx context.Context) (Result, string) {
+            path := dbPath() // dbPath currently lives in internal/cli; see D-039
+            db, err := store.Open(path)
+            if err != nil {
+                return ResultFail, fmt.Sprintf("open %s: %v", path, err)
+            }
+            defer db.Close()
+
+            // 1. integrity_check
+            var integrity string
+            if err := db.QueryRowContext(ctx, "PRAGMA integrity_check").Scan(&integrity); err != nil {
+                return ResultFail, fmt.Sprintf("integrity_check query: %v", err)
+            }
+            if integrity != "ok" {
+                first := strings.SplitN(integrity, "\n", 2)[0]
+                return ResultFail, fmt.Sprintf("integrity_check: %s", first)
+            }
+
+            // 2. migration version
+            ver, err := store.MigrationVersion(ctx, db)
+            if err != nil {
+                return ResultFail, fmt.Sprintf("migration version: %v", err)
+            }
+            if ver == "" {
+                return ResultWarn, "integrity ok; no migrations applied (fresh db?)"
+            }
+            return ResultPass, fmt.Sprintf("integrity ok; migrations up to %s", ver)
+        },
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**D-039 (assumption, confidence 0.78):** `dbPath()` currently lives in
+`internal/cli/node.go` and is unexported. The `doctor` package cannot import
+`internal/cli` (would create a cycle: `cli` imports `doctor`). **Resolution:**
+move `dbPath()` (and the `ORCA_DB` env logic) into `certpaths` (rename the
+package conceptually, or add a sibling `internal/paths` package) OR duplicate
+the ~5-line `dbPath` function inside `internal/doctor`. The cleanest is to add
+`func DBPath() string` to `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go` (it already owns
+`Dir()` honoring `ORCA_HOME`) and have both `cli` and `doctor` call it.
+`cli.dbPath` becomes a thin wrapper or is replaced. This is a small refactor
+within P02's scope. Logged as D-039, confidence 0.78 (territory overlap between
+cli-engineer and the doctor package; lead-developer adjudicates).
+
+### Implementation approach — network check
+
+**File: `internal/doctor/doctor.go`** — replace `NetworkStub()` with `Network()`:
+
+```go
+// Network probes each registered peer's /healthz over mTLS (REQ-032).
+// Peers are sourced from the nodes table. Zero peers => WARN (single-node
+// install is legitimate). Any peer unreachable => FAIL.
+func Network() Check {
+    return Check{
+        Name:        "network",
+        Description: "peer reachability via mTLS /healthz probe",
+        Run: func(ctx context.Context) (Result, string) {
+            // 1. Load registered nodes (skip 'left').
+            path := certpaths.DBPath() // same resolution as D-039
+            db, err := store.Open(path)
+            if err != nil {
+                return ResultFail, fmt.Sprintf("open db for node list: %v", err)
+            }
+            defer db.Close()
+            nodes, err := store.NewNodeRepo(db).List(ctx)
+            if err != nil {
+                return ResultFail, fmt.Sprintf("list nodes: %v", err)
+            }
+            // filter out left nodes
+            var live []*model.Node
+            for _, n := range nodes {

+                return ResultWarn, "no peers registered; network check skipped (single-node?)"
+            }
+
+            caPath := certpaths.CACertPath()
+            certPath := certpaths.ServerCertPath()
+            keyPath := certpaths.ServerKeyPath()
+            // Short per-probe timeout so one slow peer doesn't stall doctor.
+            var lines []string
+            overall := ResultPass
+            for _, n := range live {
+                probeCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 3*time.Second)
+                err := probeHealthz(probeCtx, caPath, certPath, keyPath, n.Name, n.Address)

+            return ResultFail, strings.Join(lines, "; ")

+
+New imports in `doctor.go`: `net/http`, `strings`, `time`, `git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/internal/store`, `git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/internal/transport`, `git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/internal/model`.
+
+**File: `internal/doctor/doctor.go`** — update `All()`:
+```go
+func All() []Check {
+    return []Check{
+        CertCA(), CertServer(), CertExpiry(), CertFingerprint(),
+        Network(),  // was NetworkStub()
+        DB(),       // was DBStub()
+    }
+}
+```
+Keep `NetworkStub`/`DBStub` exported functions for one release as thin
+wrappers that call the new ones? **No** — delete them; the CLI doctor.go
+references them and must be updated in lockstep (they are internal). See D-040.
+
+**File: `internal/cli/doctor.go`** — update `doctorNetworkCmd` and `doctorDBCmd`:
+```go
+doctorNetworkCmd.RunE: c := doctor.Network()  // was doctor.NetworkStub()
+doctorDBCmd.RunE:      c := doctor.DB()       // was doctor.DBStub()
+```
+Also: the per-subcommand render should honor `jsonOutput` (currently it only
+prints text). Minor enhancement, in scope.
+
+### Pitfalls & mitigations (P02)
+
+| Pitfall | Mitigation |
+|---------|------------|
+| **`model.Node` has no `ServerName`/`CAPath`** — mTLS needs `ServerName` to match the cert SAN. | Derive `ServerName = node.Name` (D-037). This assumes peer server certs are issued with SAN = node name, which matches `GenerateCSR(nodeName, sans)`. If a deployment uses DNS SANs instead, the probe fails — which is itself a diagnostic. Document this assumption in the check message. |
+| **No local client cert/key** — doctor can't present a client cert if `server.crt`/`server.key` are missing. | The check should FAIL with a clear message if `certpaths.ServerCertPath()` doesn't exist, BEFORE attempting probes. Reuse `os.Stat`. This also covers the single-node-never-joined case. |
+| **Daemon down** — peer's `/healthz` unreachable. | Per-probe 3s timeout (D-038). Surfaces as FAIL per peer with the dial/handshake error in the message. Doctor is designed to run with daemon up or down, so this is expected behavior, not a crash. |
+| **Self-probe** — the local node is likely in the `nodes` table too. Doctor will probe itself over mTLS. This is fine (validates the local daemon's mTLS stack) but requires the local daemon to be running. If the daemon is down, the self-probe fails → FAIL, which is the correct signal. | Document; no special-casing. |
+| **DB file doesn't exist** — `store.Open` creates the dir + file + runs migrations (so a missing db becomes a fresh empty db). The db check would then PASS with "no migrations applied" WARN. | This is acceptable: `store.Open` is idempotent. If the operator expected an existing db, the WARN surfaces the surprise. Could additionally `os.Stat` the path before `Open` and WARN if it didn't exist pre-open — optional refinement. |
+| **`PRAGMA integrity_check` can return multiple rows** in rare cases (when there are multiple errors). `QueryRow` only reads the first. | For `integrity_check`, a single row containing `"ok"` or the first error is the documented SQLite behavior for the common case. Use `QueryRow` + `Scan`; if it's not `"ok"`, that's already a FAIL. Acceptable. |
+| **Doctor test `TestRunAllChecksWithNoCA`** asserts WARN from stubs. | Update the test: with real checks, a no-CA scenario yields FAIL on cert.ca (unchanged) AND FAIL on db (open succeeds, integrity ok, but no migrations if fresh — actually WARN) AND WARN on network (no peers). Rewrite assertions to check each check by name rather than "hasWarn globally". See test strategy. |
+| **Import cycle:** `doctor` → `cli` (for `dbPath`). | Resolved by D-039: move `dbPath` to `certpaths` (or a new `internal/paths`); both `cli` and `doctor` import it. No cycle. |
+| **`store.Open` runs migrations on every open** — doctor opening the db to run integrity_check would also (re)migrate. | `migrate()` is idempotent (checks `schema_migrations` per name). Re-opening is safe; no-op if already migrated. Acceptable. |
+
+### Test strategy (P02)
+
+**`internal/store/migrate_test.go` (new or appended):**
+- `TestMigrationVersion`: open a fresh test db (which runs migrate), call `MigrationVersion`, assert it returns `0005_node_capacity.sql` (the highest current migration). Then manually delete all rows from `schema_migrations`, assert returns `""` with nil error.
+
+**`internal/doctor/doctor_test.go` (update):**
+- Update `TestRunAllChecksWithNoCA`: set `ORCA_HOME` to temp dir (no CA). Expect: cert.ca FAIL, cert.server FAIL, cert.expiry FAIL, cert.fingerprint FAIL, **db WARN** (fresh db, no migrations — actually `store.Open` runs migrations, so db will PASS with version 0005; adjust: db PASS), **network WARN** (no peers). Rewrite to assert per-check rather than "hasWarn/hasFail globally". Remove the stale "expected WARN (stubs)" comment.
+- New `TestDBCheck_IntegrityOK`: open a fresh db via `store.Open` in temp, run `doctor.DB().Run(ctx)`, expect PASS and message contains "0005".
+- New `TestDBCheck_Corrupt`: open db, manually `db.Exec("DROP TABLE jobs")` to introduce inconsistency, run integrity_check — but `integrity_check` mostly detects corruption, not missing tables. More reliable: write garbage to the db file via raw file write, then open — `store.Open` may fail at Ping. Assert FAIL. (This test is brittle; prefer a unit test on the integrity string-parsing logic with a stub.)
+- New `TestNetworkCheck_NoPeers`: fresh db, no nodes, run `doctor.Network().Run(ctx)`, expect WARN.
+- New `TestNetworkCheck_PeerReachable`: this is an integration test — bootstrap a CA (`security.CAInit`), generate+sign a server cert with SAN `localhost`, start an `httptest.NewUnstartedServer` with `ts.TLS = serverTLS` and `ClientAuth = RequireAndVerifyClientCert` (mirror `security/integration_test.go:88-108`), generate+sign a client cert, insert a node row with `Address = ts.Listener.Addr().String()` and `Name = "localhost"`, set `ORCA_HOME` to the temp dir holding the CA + client cert, run `doctor.Network().Run(ctx)`, expect PASS. This reuses the proven pattern from `TestEndToEndMTLS`.
+- New `TestNetworkCheck_PeerUnreachable`: insert a node with `Address = "127.0.0.1:1"` (nothing listening), run, expect FAIL with the peer name in the message.
+
+### Dependency check (P02)
+
+- `net/http`, `crypto/tls` (via transport), `strings`, `time`, `context` — stdlib. ✅
+- `internal/transport`, `internal/store`, `internal/model`, `internal/certpaths` — existing internal packages. ✅
+- No new go.mod dependencies required.

+
+## Cross-cutting decisions
+
+| ID | Decision | Confidence |
+|----|----------|------------|
+| **D-039** | Move `dbPath()` (the `ORCA_DB`-honoring path resolver) from `internal/cli` to `internal/certpaths` as `DBPath()`, to break the would-be `doctor→cli` import cycle. Both `cli` and `doctor` then import `certpaths`. `certpaths` already owns the `ORCA_HOME`-honoring `Dir()`. Territory: this is a shared infra concern; `lead-developer` adjudicates. | 0.78 |
+| **D-040** | Delete `doctor.NetworkStub` and `doctor.DBStub` (no backward-compat shims). They are internal, referenced only by `internal/cli/doctor.go` which is updated in the same phase. Keeping dead stub code violates `no-redundant-implementations`. | 0.95 |
+| **D-041** | No new go.mod dependencies for v0.3. `iter` (P01) and mTLS health probe (P02) use stdlib + existing internal packages only. The 4 existing direct deps (cobra, hcl, modernc/sqlite, uuid) are unchanged. | 0.97 |
+| **D-042** | Phase ordering: P01 (iter.Seq) and P02 (doctor) are **independent** — no file is modified by both (P01 touches cli/job.go, cli/node.go, store repos; P02 touches doctor.go, cli/doctor.go, store/migrate.go, certpaths). They can be developed in either order or in parallel. Recommend P01 first only because it's the lower-risk change. | 0.85 |

+
+## Summary of assumptions logged
+
+All assumptions below are logged as decisions with confidence scores; none are
+flagged for human validation (full autonomy). Low-confidence (<0.80) items that
+warrant normal decision-flow attention:
+
+- **D-030** (0.72): `--watch --json` emits one JSON object per changed element
+  per tick (vs. one array per tick). REQ-030 wording is ambiguous; this
+  interpretation matches "streaming one-line JSON per event" literally.
+- **D-037** (0.80): peer `ServerName` = node `Name` (SAN convention).
+- **D-039** (0.78): `dbPath` relocation to `certpaths` — territory overlap.
+
+These three are escalated through the normal decision flow (DecisionEngine) per
+the researcher protocol, NOT flagged for human validation.

+# Research: Orca v0.5 — Distribution
+
+Research findings for the v0.5 Distribution milestone (install, namespace,
+docker, public releases). Conducted during P0 RESEARCH under full autonomy.
+
+## R-001: Gitea Container Registry
+
+**Source**: https://docs.gitea.com/usage/packages/container (Gitea 1.27.1 docs)
+
+**Findings**:
+- Gitea ships a built-in OCI-compliant container registry.
+- Image naming convention: `{registry}/{owner}/{image}:{tag}`.
+  For orca: `git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:{tag}`.
+- Auth: `docker login git.cloudinit.dev` with username + personal access
+  token (or password if no 2FA). The `GITEA_TOKEN` env var already used
+  for release publishing works as the password.
+- Push: `docker push git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4`.
+- Pull: anonymous pull works **if the repo is public** (REQ-045 flips
+  this). For private repos, pull requires auth.
+- Tags are case-insensitive — use lowercase image names.
+- The registry supports multi-arch manifests via `docker buildx`.
+
+**Implication for P03**: `scripts/release.sh` must add a `docker build`
++ `docker login` + `docker push` step. The `.coreci.yml` release
+pipeline needs a `container-publish` step. Credential is `GITEA_TOKEN`
+(reused from the existing release flow — no new secret needed).
+
+## R-002: `tea repos edit` — Repo Visibility
+
+**Source**: `tea repos edit --help` (tea 0.14.1 installed locally)
+
+**Findings**:
+- Command: `tea repos edit --private false --repo coreci/orca`
+- The `--private` flag accepts `true`/`false` (string, not bool).
+- Default login `bot` (cloudinit-bot) is already configured and is the
+  default login. No extra auth needed.
+- The change is immediate and reversible (re-run with `--private true`).
+
+**Implication for P0 ship**: Run this as an operational step during the
+P0 ship. Verify with unauth `curl` against the releases API afterward.
+
+## R-003: Gitea Releases API — Asset Download URLs
+
+**Source**: `/api/v1/repos/coreci/orca/releases/latest` (authed probe)
+
+**Findings**:
+- Auth header format: `Authorization: token <GITEA_TOKEN>` (NOT basic
+  auth — basic auth returns "invalid username, password or token").
+- Latest release endpoint: `GET /api/v1/repos/coreci/orca/releases/latest`
+  → JSON with `tag_name`, `name`, `body`, `assets[]`.
+- Each asset has `browser_download_url` — the direct download URL.
+- **Public access**: once the repo is public (R-002), the releases API
+  and asset downloads work **without authentication**. This is what
+  `install.sh` relies on (REQ-043).
+- Asset naming convention from existing releases:
+  `orca-{version}-linux-amd64.tar.gz` (per `scripts/release.sh`).
+
+**Implication for P02 install.sh**:
+1. Query `GET /api/v1/repos/coreci/orca/releases/latest` (unauth, post-R-002).
+2. Parse `tag_name` for the version.
+3. Find the asset with `name` matching `orca-{tag}-linux-{arch}.tar.gz`.
+4. Download `browser_download_url` with `curl -fsSL`.
+5. Extract and install.
+
+## R-004: ORCA_HOME Propagation Points (Codebase Audit)
+
+**Source**: `grep` for `UserHomeDir|os.Getenv("ORCA|\.orca` across `*.go`
+
+**Findings** — exactly 3 production code sites determine the namespace
+root today:
+
+| File | Current behavior | Needs change? |
+|------|-----------------|----------------|
+| `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go:21-26` | `Dir()` honors `ORCA_HOME` → `~/.orca` | **No** — this is the single source of truth. Already correct. |
+| `internal/store/store.go:13-19` | `Open("")` hardcodes `~/.orca/orca.db` (ignores `ORCA_HOME`) | **Yes** — route through `certpaths.DBPath()` instead. |
+| `internal/cli/init.go:16-22` | Hardcodes `~/.orca` via `os.UserHomeDir()` | **Yes** — route through `certpaths.Dir()`. |
+
+All other call sites (`node.go:openDB`, `daemon.go`, `job.go`, `doctor.go`,
+`cert.go`) already go through `certpaths.DBPath()` or `certpaths.Dir()`
+indirectly. **No other files need changes for REQ-041.**
+
+**For REQ-042 (`--system`)**: Add a `--system` persistent flag on
+`rootCmd`. When set, `rootCmd.PersistentPreRunE` sets
+`os.Setenv("ORCA_HOME", "/root/.orca")` before any subcommand runs.
+This is the minimal-touch approach — all downstream code already
+honors `ORCA_HOME`. The flag is a CLI convenience that maps to the
+env var, not a parallel mechanism.
+
+**Backward compatibility**: empty `ORCA_HOME` + no `--system` →
+`~/.orca` (unchanged). Existing tests that `t.Setenv("ORCA_HOME", ...)`
+continue to work.
+
+## R-005: Distroless Base Image for CGO-free Go Binaries
+
+**Source**: Go module audit — `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go, CGO-free),
+`go.mod` has no CGO dependencies.
+
+**Findings**:
+- `gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12` is the correct base for static
+  Go binaries with no CGO and no libc dependency. ~2MB image.
+- orca uses `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go) — no CGO, no libc. ✓
+- Multi-stage Dockerfile:
+  - Stage 1 (`golang:1.25`): build with `-trimpath -ldflags` (same as
+    Makefile), output `bin/orca`.
+  - Stage 2 (`gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12`): `COPY bin/orca /orca`,
+    `ENTRYPOINT ["/orca"]`.
+- `CGO_ENABLED=0` must be set in the build stage to guarantee a static
+  binary (Go defaults to CGO_ENABLED=1 on platforms with a C compiler).
+- The image runs as `nonroot` user by default in distroless — but orca
+  writes to `~/.orca` (or `/root/.orca` for `--system`). For the
+  container image, default `ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca` and document
+  volume mount at that path.
+
+**Implication for P03**: Dockerfile is ~15 lines. The `.coreci.yml`
+release pipeline adds a `docker build --build-arg VERSION=$VERSION -t
+git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:$VERSION .` step + login + push.
+
+## R-006: install.sh Conventions (curl|sh pattern)
+
+**Source**: Common patterns from deno, rustup, homebrew installers.
+
+**Findings**:
+- 1-liner: `curl -fsSL <url> | bash` (or `| bash -s -- --system`).
+- The script must be downloadable from a stable URL. orca's script
+  lives at `scripts/install.sh` in the repo, accessible via
+  `https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh`
+  (once repo is public per R-002).
+- Args passed via `bash -s -- --system --version v0.4.4`.
+- In-place update: detect existing binary at install path, read its
+  version via `orca version --json` (parse `version` field), print
+  "updated from X to Y", overwrite binary. **Never** touch the
+  namespace dir (`~/.orca` or `/root/.orca`) — that's user state.
+- User-level default: `~/.local/bin/orca` (XDG-ish, on PATH on most
+  modern distros). System-level: `/usr/local/bin/orca` (requires root).
+
+**Implication for P02**: install.sh is ~80-100 lines of bash. Idempotent.
+Tested via a `scripts/install_test.sh` that mocks the download and
+verifies path selection + update-in-place.
+
+## Pitfalls (P-001..P-003)
+
+- **P-001**: `docker` may not be available in the CoreCI release
+  pipeline container. The `.coreci.yml` release step uses
+  `image: golang:1.25` which does NOT include docker. **Mitigation**:
+  the release pipeline must use a `docker:dind` sidecar or a step image
+  that has the docker CLI. Alternatively, `scripts/release.sh` handles
+  docker publish only when run locally or in a CI step that has docker.
+  The `.coreci.yml` container step must use an image with docker CLI
+  (e.g., `catthehacker/docker:docker-latest` or a custom image).
+
+- **P-002**: Making the repo public exposes git history including the
+  pre-existing `.env` SHA-1 leak (commit `00127ce` documented the
+  rotate-forward decision; `.gitleaks-baseline.json` suppresses it for
+  scanning). The leak is a **non-secret** (the token was rotated). This
+  is an accepted risk per the existing decision — no new action needed,
+  but document it in the P0 ship commit.
+
+- **P-003**: `CGO_ENABLED=0` must be explicit in the Dockerfile build
+  stage. Without it, `go build` in `golang:1.25` may produce a
+  dynamically-linked binary that won't run in distroless. Verified:
+  orca has no CGO deps, but `CGO_ENABLED=0` is belt-and-suspenders.

+# Research: Orca v0.6 — Node Bootstrap & Proxmox
+
+Findings grounded in codebase analysis (8 key files read) + verified
+against `golang.org/x/crypto` v0.54.0 (probe built clean), Proxmox VE
+9.2.3 admin guide (§14.7-14.8 pveum + privileges), sudoers(5) man
+page (NOEXEC/NOPASSWD), and freedesktop.org os-release spec.
+
+## A. SSH library — `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh`
+
+### A.1 go.mod addition
+
+```
+require golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0
+```
+
+Latest available, compatible with go 1.25. Transitive deps (verified
+by probe build):
+- `golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0` (direct)
+- `golang.org/x/sys v0.47.0` (indirect — bumps from v0.42.0)
+- `golang.org/x/term v0.45.0` (indirect — pulled by ssh for PTY)
+
+**3 module entries, 0 new heavy deps.** Matches D-030 minimal-deps
+rationale. `go.sum` gains ~6 lines.
+
+### A.2 Minimal API surface
+
+```go
+import (
+    "crypto/ed25519"
+    "crypto/rand"
+    "crypto/x509"
+    "encoding/pem"
+    "net"
+    "time"
+    "golang.org/x/crypto/ssh"
+    "golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts"
+)
+```
+
+Key functions:
+- `ssh.Dial(network, addr, config) (*ssh.Client, error)` — high-level dialer
+- `(*ssh.Client).NewSession() (*ssh.Session, error)`
+- `(*ssh.Session).CombinedOutput(cmd) ([]byte, error)` — run + capture
+- `ssh.ClientConfig{User, Auth, HostKeyCallback, Timeout}`
+- `ssh.Password(secret) ssh.AuthMethod` — password auth
+- `ssh.PublicKeys(signer) ssh.AuthMethod` — pubkey auth
+- `ssh.ParsePrivateKey(pem) (ssh.Signer, error)` — parse PKCS8 PEM (works with orca's existing key format)
+- `ssh.NewPublicKey(pub) (ssh.PublicKey, error)` + `ssh.MarshalAuthorizedKey(pub) []byte` — authorized_keys line
+- `ssh.FixedHostKey(key) ssh.HostKeyCallback` — strict pin (subsequent connects)
+- `knownhosts.New(path) (ssh.HostKeyCallback, error)` — TOFU via known_hosts file (cleaner than custom callback; avoids deprecated `InsecureIgnoreHostKey`)
+
+### A.3 Ed25519 keygen (D-037)
+
+Verified end-to-end: `ed25519.GenerateKey(rand.Reader)` →
+`x509.MarshalPKCS8PrivateKey(priv)` → PEM encode → `ssh.ParsePrivateKey`
+round-trips cleanly. `ssh.MarshalAuthorizedKey` produces valid
+`ssh-ed25519 AAAA...` line. **PKCS8 PEM (orca's existing format)
+parses with `ssh.ParsePrivateKey` — no OpenSSH-format marshaller
+needed.** Reuse `security.WriteKey`/`writeAtomic` for persistence.
+
+### A.4 File upload — `cat > file` via session, NOT SFTP
+
+SFTP lives in separate module `github.com/pkg/sftp` — would add a 4th
+direct dep beyond D-030. The only files orca uploads are:
+- `~orca/.ssh/authorized_keys` (1-line append)
+- `/etc/sudoers.d/orca` (few lines)
+
+Both are text. Use `session.CombinedOutput` with heredoc / `tee -a`.
+Keeps everything within `x/crypto/ssh`.
+
+### A.5 TOFU host-key handling (D-035)
+
+Use `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts.New(path)` as the
+`HostKeyCallback`. On first connect, the callback writes the host key
+to `~/.orca/known_hosts` (OpenSSH format). On subsequent connects, it
+verifies and returns an error on mismatch. **Avoids
+`ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey` deprecation** — `knownhosts.New` handles
+both capture and verify in one callback. On host-key change
+(reinstall), fail closed with a clear error; operator runs
+`orca node key-reset <node>` (future) or manually edits `known_hosts`.
+
+## B. `/etc/os-release` parsing (D-032)
+
+### B.1 Confirmed `ID=` values
+
+| Distro | `ID=` | `ID_LIKE=` | Verified |
+|--------|-------|-----------|----------|
+| Ubuntu | `ubuntu` | `debian` | ✅ (this host: Ubuntu 24.04) |
+| Debian | `debian` | — | ✅ (freedesktop spec) |
+| Alpine | `alpine` | — | ✅ (Alpine policy) |
+| Proxmox VE | `pve` | `debian` | ✅ (PVE ships own os-release) |
+
+`VARIANT_ID` absent on all four target distros — not worth capturing
+for v0.6.
+
+### B.2 Parsing approach
+
+No Go stdlib helper. Trivial: `bufio.Scanner` +
+`strings.SplitN(line, "=", 2)` + strip surrounding quotes. ~15 lines.
+Returns `map[string]string`; read `ID` field. Fallback `"linux"` if
+file missing or `ID` absent (D-032). Read `/etc/os-release` first;
+fall back to `/usr/lib/os-release` for minimal containers. Unknown `ID`
+values stored verbatim (not masked) — `doctor os` can warn.
+
+## C. Proxmox VE role & user management
+
+### C.1 Realm: `orca@pam` (NOT `orca@pve`)
+
+Confirmed by both researchers + PVE User Management docs: since
+`orca node join` SSHes in and creates a Linux system user via
+`useradd`, the PVE user must be `orca@pam` (PAM realm maps to host
+system users). `orca@pve` would require a separate PVE-internal
+password and interactive `-password` prompt over non-PTY SSH (hangs).
+`@pam` sidesteps both issues. **D-033 refined: `orca@pam`.**
+
+### C.2 OrcaOperator PVE role — privilege set
+
+Per D-033 (operator-confirmed): `VM.Audit`, `Datastore.AllocateSpace`,
+`SDN.Use`. This is a **minimal API-level role** — the actual management
+capability comes from the sudoers allowlist (sudo runs as root, bypassing
+PVE RBAC). The PVE role governs non-sudo API access (future REST client).
+
+**Refinement from research**: `VM.Audit` covers containers (CTs) as well
+as VMs (both live under `/vms/{vmid}` path; no separate `CT.*` family).
+PVE 8→9: privilege set valid on both (no breaking changes to pveum or
+the core privilege names).
+
+Researcher 2 proposed an expanded 21-privilege set for fuller API-level
+management. **Decision: keep D-033's 3-priv minimal set for v0.6** — the
+operator explicitly confirmed it, and the sudoers allowlist is the
+primary management path. The expanded set is noted as a v0.7+
+enhancement option if orca adds a direct PVE REST client.
+
+### C.3 pveum command sequence (idempotent)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Role — probe-then-add (pveum role add fails if exists)
+pveum role list | grep -q '^OrcaOperator' || \
+  pveum role add OrcaOperator --privs "VM.Audit Datastore.AllocateSpace SDN.Use"
+
+# 2. User — probe-then-add (maps to existing Linux system user)
+pveum user list | grep -q 'orca@pam' || \
+  pveum user add orca@pam -comment "Orca automation user"
+
+# 3. ACL — modify is idempotent (creates or updates)
+pveum acl modify / -user orca@pam -role OrcaOperator
+```
+
+Flag syntax: both `-privs` and `--privs` work (Perl Getopt::Long). Use
+`--privs` (canonical). Privs are **space-separated** inside quotes
+(NOT comma-separated).
+
+### C.4 sudoers file `/etc/sudoers.d/orca` (D-033 refined)
+
+**Research refinement**: exclude `pvesh` from sudoers — `pvesh` can
+reach the `/nodes/{node}/execute` API endpoint which spawns shell
+commands server-side, bypassing sudo's `NOEXEC` tag. Keep `pct`/`qm`
+with `NOEXEC`; `apt-get`/`dpkg` without `NOEXEC` (they need to spawn
+child processes for maintainer scripts).
+
+```
+# /etc/sudoers.d/orca — mode 0440, owner root:root
+# Orca automation: VM/CT management + package management, no shell escape
+orca ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: NOEXEC: /usr/bin/pct, /usr/bin/qm
+orca ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg
+```
+
+`NOEXEC` works via Linux seccomp (sudoers man page). `pct`/`qm` are
+Perl scripts run via dynamically-linked `/usr/bin/perl` → NOEXEC
+effective. `apt-get`/`dpkg` need exec for postinst scripts → no
+NOEXEC. File mode **0440** or sudo refuses to load. Validate with
+`visudo -cf /etc/sudoers.d/orca` after writing; abort bootstrap on
+validation failure.
+
+**Resolve binary paths at runtime** via `command -v pct` etc. before
+writing the sudoers file (cheap insurance against non-standard installs).
+
+### C.5 PVE 8 vs 9
+
+No breaking changes to pveum, privilege names, or sudo defaults
+between 8 and 9. `VM.Monitor` removed in 9.0 (OrcaOperator doesn't
+use it). Privileged container creation needs `Sys.Modify` in 9.0
+(OrcaOperator doesn't have it → intended). Both versions: `orca@pam`
+flow identical. Binary paths identical (`/usr/bin/{pct,qm,pvesh}`).
+
+## D. Codebase integration points (confirmed by reading files)
+
+### D.1 Files to modify/create per requirement
+
+| File | Change | REQ |
+|------|--------|-----|
+| `go.mod` / `go.sum` | Add `golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0`; bump sys, add term | REQ-050 |
+| `internal/model/node.go` | Add `Kind`, `OS` string fields + `NodeKind` constants | REQ-049 |
+| `internal/store/migrations/0006_node_kind_os.sql` | **NEW**: `ALTER TABLE nodes ADD COLUMN kind TEXT; ADD COLUMN os TEXT;` (nullable, backward-compatible) | REQ-049 |
+| `internal/store/node_repo.go` | Extend INSERT/SELECT/scanNode for `kind, os`; add `GetByName`, `UpdateLastSeenAndOS` helpers | REQ-049 |
+| `internal/cli/init.go` | Full bootstrap: MkdirAll → store.Open (runs migrations) → CAInit → server cert gen (if absent) → detectOS → localhost node upsert | REQ-047,048 |
+| `internal/cli/node.go` | Add `--type`, `--host`, `--user`, `--password`, `--proxmox-user`, `--proxmox-role` flags; `bootstrapProxmox` branch | REQ-050,051 |
+| `internal/security/sshkey.go` | **NEW**: `GenerateOrLoadSSHKey(dir)` — Ed25519 keygen, PKCS8 PEM, 0600/0644 modes | REQ-050 |
+| `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` | **NEW package**: `BootstrapProxmox(ctx, opts)` — SSH dial, pubkey deploy, useradd, pveum role/user/acl, sudoers write, visudo validate | REQ-050,051 |
+| `internal/doctor/doctor.go` | Add `OS()` and `Proxmox()` checks; extend `All()` | REQ-052 |
+| `internal/cli/doctor.go` | Add `doctor os` + `doctor proxmox` subcommands | REQ-052 |
+| `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go` | Add `SSHKeyPath`, `SSHPubPath`, `KnownHostsPath` | REQ-050 |
+
+### D.2 Reuse opportunities (confirmed)
+
+- `security.CAInit` (ca.go:63) — **already idempotent** (fast-path loads existing). `orca init` calls it directly.
+- `security.GenerateCSR` (csr.go) — signature fits: `GenerateCSR("localhost", []string{"localhost","127.0.0.1"})`.
+- `security.WriteCert`/`WriteKey` (ca.go:292) — enforce 0644/0600 via `writeAtomic`; reuse for SSH key.
+- `store.Open` (migrate.go) — runs migrations on open; calling it in `orca init` auto-applies 0006.
+- Migration runner — FS-embedded, sorts lexicographically, idempotent per-file. Adding `0006_*.sql` is the entire change.
+- `doctor.Network()` (doctor.go:222) — exact pattern to clone for `doctor.Proxmox()` (list nodes, filter by kind, 3s timeout per peer, PASS/WARN/FAIL).
+
+### D.3 No changes needed
+
+- `internal/security/ca.go`, `csr.go` — idempotent already, signatures fit.
+- `internal/store/migrate.go` — runner is generic.
+- `internal/transport/*` — mTLS transport not involved in SSH bootstrap.
+- `internal/engine/*` — NodeRegistry.Join works; new fields are metadata.
+
+## E. Pitfalls & gotchas
+
+1. **`pveum` flag is `--privs` (space-separated)**, not `--privs "a,b,c"`. Confirmed by both researchers + official docs.
+2. **`orca@pam` not `orca@pve`** — PVE-internal realm requires interactive password prompt over non-PTY SSH (hangs). PAM realm maps to the Linux system user orca creates.
+3. **Exclude `pvesh` from sudoers** — `pvesh` can trigger API `execute` endpoint spawning shell commands server-side, bypassing `NOEXEC`. Use PVE API via OrcaOperator role for API access instead.
+4. **`NOEXEC` only on dynamically-linked binaries** — `pct`/`qm` are Perl scripts via dynamically-linked `/usr/bin/perl` → effective. `apt-get`/`dpkg` need exec → no NOEXEC.
+5. **sudoers file mode 0440** — or sudo silently refuses to load it. `chmod 0440` + `visudo -cf` validate after write.
+6. **Migration 0006 NULL handling** — `scanNode` must use `sql.NullString` for `kind`/`os` and map NULL → `""` (Go struct fields are `string`, not `*string`).
+7. **localhost node idempotency** — `NodeRepo.Insert` fails on UNIQUE constraint if `orca init` re-runs. Need `GetByName("localhost")` check first; if found, `UpdateLastSeenAndOS` instead of `Insert`. Don't change `id` or `joined_at` (D-036).
+8. **`orca init` must not regenerate server cert** (D-036) — check `certpaths.ServerCertPath()` existence before `GenerateCSR`. `CAInit` has a fast-path; server cert gen needs an explicit existence check.
+9. **Password handling (D-031)** — `--password` flag visible in `ps`/`/proc` briefly. Prefer `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD` env var. Never log the password (slog redaction). Zero the byte slice after use.
+10. **`knownhosts.New` for TOFU** — avoids deprecated `ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey`. Handles both capture and verify in one callback.
+11. **PKCS8 PEM parses with `ssh.ParsePrivateKey`** — no need for OpenSSH-format marshaller. Consistent with `ca.key`/`server.key` format.
+12. **`/etc/os-release` is a symlink** on most distros → `os.ReadFile` follows it. Fall back to `/usr/lib/os-release` for minimal containers.
+
+## F. Persona recommendations (v0.6 roster)
+
+| Persona | Active | Reason |
+|---------|--------|--------|
+| `lead-developer` | ✅ | Coordination across P01/P02/P03; SSH/bootstrap touches security + cli + store + doctor |
+| `backend-engineer` | ✅ | Owns `internal/cli/init.go` full-bootstrap orchestration + `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` SSH logic |
+| `cli-engineer` | ✅ | Owns `--type`/`--host`/`--password` flag wiring, `doctor os`/`doctor proxmox` subcommands, init output UX |
+| `data-engineer` | ✅ **REACTIVATE** | Owns migration 0006 + `NodeRepo` schema extension (kind/os columns, new helpers) |
+| `security-engineer` | ✅ **REACTIVATE** | Owns `internal/security/sshkey.go`, TOFU host-key, sudoers design, password redaction, audit logging |
+| `devops-engineer` | ❌ **DEACTIVATE** | No install.sh/Dockerfile/.coreci.yml surface in v0.6 |
+| `network-engineer` | ❌ | No transport/mTLS surface (SSH is point-to-point bootstrap, not mesh) |
+| `frontend-engineer` | ❌ | No web UI |
+
+**Territory overlaps to adjudicate (lead-developer)**:
+- `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` (security-engineer SSH/sudoers logic) vs `internal/cli/node.go` (cli-engineer flag wiring) — boundary: security package exposes `BootstrapProxmox(ctx, opts) error`, CLI just calls it.
+- `internal/doctor/doctor.go` `Proxmox()` reuses SSH client from `internal/proxmox` (security) but check scaffolding clones `doctor.Network()` pattern (backend adjudicates since network-engineer deactivated).

+
+**Milestone tag**: `v0.4.5` (final phase patch = milestone release per
+feature-milestone promotion rule). Per-phase tags: `v0.4.1`…`v0.4.5`.
+
+## Milestone v0.6: Node Bootstrap & Proxmox
+
+Scope: make `orca init` produce a fully working single-node cluster
+(CA + server cert + DB + localhost node registered with auto-detected
+OS), and add Proxmox 8 & 9 as a first-class remote node type joined
+over SSH with least-privilege role delegation.
+
+- [ ] Phase 0: Pre-execution (specify → clarify → research → plan → grill) — tag `v0.5.0`
+- [ ] Phase 1: `orca init` full bootstrap + localhost node + schema 0006 (REQ-047, REQ-048, REQ-049) — tag `v0.5.1`
+- [ ] Phase 2: Proxmox SSH join + OrcaOperator role + sudoers allowlist (REQ-050, REQ-051) — tag `v0.5.2`
+- [ ] Phase 3: `doctor os` + `doctor proxmox` SSH probe + audit logging (REQ-052) — tag `v0.5.3`
+- [ ] Phase 4: Final review + ship + audit (milestone release) — tag `v0.5.4`
+
+**Milestone type**: feature (P1/P2/P3 ship `feat` phases).
+**Milestone tag**: `v0.5.4` (final phase patch = milestone release per
+feature-milestone promotion rule). Per-phase tags: `v0.5.0`…`v0.5.4`.
+
+Tags run on the previous minor's patch line (v0.5.x) per
+branch-strategy.md. The milestone branch label uses the milestone
+number (`milestone/v0.6-node-bootstrap-proxmox`); no separate minor
+tag is created.

+# Docker Guide
+
+Orca is available as a container image on the Gitea container registry.
+The image is a minimal distroless static build (~2MB runtime layer)
+that runs the orca binary directly.
+
+## Image
+
+```
+git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:<version>
+git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:latest
+```
+
+The image is built from the `Dockerfile` in the repo root:
+- **Build stage**: `golang:1.25` — compiles a static binary with
+  `CGO_ENABLED=0` (modernc/sqlite is pure Go, no CGO).
+- **Runtime stage**: `gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot` —
+  ~2MB, no shell, runs as `nonroot` user.
+
+## Pull
+
+```bash
+docker pull git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:latest
+# or pin a version
+docker pull git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4
+```
+
+The repo is public (REQ-045), so anonymous pull works without login.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+# Print version
+docker run --rm git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4 version
+
+# Initialize state (creates /var/lib/orca/ inside the container)
+docker run --rm -v orca-data:/var/lib/orca git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4 init
+
+# Run the daemon (persist state via volume)
+docker run -d --name orca \
+  -p 8080:8080 \
+  -v orca-data:/var/lib/orca \
+  git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4 daemon --addr=:8080
+```
+
+## State Persistence
+
+The image sets `ENV ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca`. All orca state (SQLite
+database, CA certs, server certs) is written under this path. To
+persist state across container restarts, mount a volume:
+
+```bash
+docker volume create orca-data
+docker run --rm -v orca-data:/var/lib/orca git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4 init
+docker run -d --name orca -p 8080:8080 -v orca-data:/var/lib/orca git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4 daemon
+```
+
+Without a volume, state is lost when the container exits.
+
+## System-Level Namespace Inside Containers
+
+The `--system` flag is not needed inside containers — the image already
+sets `ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca`. Use `--system` only if you want a
+different namespace root (e.g., `/root/.orca`), which requires running
+as root (the distroless image runs as `nonroot` by default).
+
+## Build Locally
+
+```bash
+docker build --build-arg VERSION=v0.4.4 -t orca-local:v0.4.4 .
+docker run --rm orca-local:v0.4.4 version
+```
+
+Build args:
+- `VERSION` — semver tag (injected via `-ldflags`)
+- `GIT_COMMIT` — short commit hash
+- `BUILD_TIME` — ISO 8601 build timestamp
+
+## Publish (for maintainers)
+
+The `.coreci.yml` release pipeline includes a `container-publish` step
+that builds and pushes the image on every tag release. To publish
+manually:
+
+```bash
+export GITEA_TOKEN=<token>
+docker build --build-arg VERSION=v0.4.4 -t git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:v0.4.4 -t git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca:latest .
+echo "$GITEA_TOKEN" | docker login git.cloudinit.dev -u cloudinit-bot --password-stdin

+# Install Guide
+
+Orca is distributed as a single binary via a 1-liner installer that
+pulls from the public Gitea release artifacts. This guide covers
+user-level install, system-level install, in-place updates, version
+pinning, and troubleshooting.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Linux system with `curl` and `tar` installed.
+- For user-level install: write access to `~/.local/bin/`.
+- For system-level install: root (`sudo`) access.
+
+## User-Level Install (Default)
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+This installs:
+- Binary: `~/.local/bin/orca`
+- Namespace root: `~/.orca/` (created by `orca init`)
+
+If `~/.local/bin` is not on your `PATH`, add it:
+```bash
+echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
+source ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+## System-Level Install
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --system
+```
+
+This installs:
+- Binary: `/usr/local/bin/orca`
+- Namespace root: `/root/.orca/` (created by `orca --system init`)
+
+The `--system` flag requires root (uid 0). It errors if `ORCA_HOME` is
+already set to a conflicting value.
+
+## Initialize State
+
+After installing, initialize the local state directory:
+
+```bash
+# User-level
+orca init
+
+# System-level
+orca --system init
+```
+
+This creates the namespace root directory (`~/.orca` or `/root/.orca`).
+
+## Version Pinning
+
+By default, the installer fetches the **latest** release. To pin a
+specific version:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.4.2
+```
+
+## In-Place Update
+
+Re-running the installer updates the binary in place while **preserving**
+your config, database, and certificates in the namespace dir:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+install: ✓ updated orca from v0.4.1 to v0.4.2 at /home/user/.local/bin/orca
+```
+
+The installer:
+1. Detects the existing binary at the install path.
+2. Reads its version via `orca version --json`.
+3. Downloads the new release.
+4. Overwrites the binary.
+5. **Never touches** the namespace dir (`~/.orca` or `/root/.orca`).
+
+## Uninstall
+
+```bash
+# Remove the binary
+rm ~/.local/bin/orca          # user-level
+sudo rm /usr/local/bin/orca   # system-level
+
+# Optionally remove state (THIS DELETES YOUR DATABASE + CERTS)
+rm -rf ~/.orca                # user-level
+sudo rm -rf /root/.orca       # system-level
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `install: error: --system requires root`
+
+The `--system` flag requires root. Re-run with `sudo`:
+```bash
+curl -fsSL ... | sudo bash -s -- --system
+```
+
+### `install: error: --system conflicts with ORCA_HOME=...`
+
+`ORCA_HOME` is set to a non-system path. Either unset it or drop `--system`:
+```bash
+unset ORCA_HOME
+curl -fsSL ... | sudo bash -s -- --system
+```
+
+### `install: error: could not find asset orca-vX.Y.Z-linux-amd64.tar.gz`
+
+The requested version does not have a Linux release asset. Check
+available releases at
+`https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/releases`.
+
+### `install: error: unsupported architecture: ...`
+
+The installer supports `amd64` (x86_64), `arm64` (aarch64), and `armv7`.
+Contact the maintainers if you need another architecture.
+
+### `~/.local/bin is not on your PATH`
+
+Add it to your shell profile:
+```bash
+echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
+source ~/.bashrc
+```

+# Namespace and Paths
+
+Orca stores all on-disk state (SQLite database, CA certs, server certs,
+config) under a single **namespace root** directory. This document
+describes how that root is resolved and how to override it.
+
+## Default: User-Level (`~/.orca`)
+
+By default, the namespace root is `~/.orca` (i.e., `$HOME/.orca`).
+All orca state lives under this directory:
+
+| Path | Contents |
+|------|----------|
+| `~/.orca/orca.db` | SQLite database (jobs, nodes, tasks, audit log, capacity) |
+| `~/.orca/ca.crt` | CA certificate (PEM, mode 0644) |
+| `~/.orca/ca.key` | CA private key (PEM, mode 0600) |
+| `~/.orca/server.crt` | Server certificate (PEM, mode 0644) |
+| `~/.orca/server.key` | Server private key (PEM, mode 0600) |
+
+## Override: `ORCA_HOME` Environment Variable (REQ-041)
+
+Set the `ORCA_HOME` environment variable to change the namespace root
+for **all** orca components (database, certs, init, daemon):
+
+```bash
+export ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca
+orca init          # creates /var/lib/orca/
+orca daemon        # reads /var/lib/orca/orca.db
+orca cert ca-init  # writes CA to /var/lib/orca/
+```
+
+This is the single source of truth for the namespace root. Every
+component that reads or writes on-disk state resolves the root via
+`ORCA_HOME` (falling back to `~/.orca` when unset).
+
+### Use cases
+
+- **Testing**: point `ORCA_HOME` at a temp directory.
+- **Multi-instance**: run multiple orca daemons on the same host with
+  different `ORCA_HOME` values.
+- **Custom layout**: store state on a mounted volume
+  (`ORCA_HOME=/mnt/orca-data`).
+
+## System-Level: `--system` Flag (REQ-042)
+
+The `--system` persistent flag selects the system-level namespace root
+`/root/.orca`. This is intended for root-owned system deployments
+(where orca runs as a system service under root):
+
+```bash
+sudo orca --system init          # creates /root/.orca/
+sudo orca --system daemon        # reads /root/.orca/orca.db
+sudo orca --system cert ca-init  # writes CA to /root/.orca/
+```
+
+The `--system` flag is equivalent to setting `ORCA_HOME=/root/.orca`,
+but it is a CLI convenience that does not require exporting an env var.
+If `ORCA_HOME` is already set to a different value, `--system` returns
+an error (to avoid silent namespace mismatches).
+
+### Path layout
+
+System-level uses the same directory shape as user-level, just under
+`/root/.orca` instead of `~/.orca`:
+
+| Path | Contents |
+|------|----------|
+| `/root/.orca/orca.db` | SQLite database |
+| `/root/.orca/ca.crt` | CA certificate |
+| `/root/.orca/ca.key` | CA private key |
+| `/root/.orca/server.crt` | Server certificate |
+| `/root/.orca/server.key` | Server private key |
+
+## Resolution Order
+
+1. If `--system` flag is passed → root is `/root/.orca` (errors if
+   `ORCA_HOME` is set to a conflicting value).
+2. Else if `ORCA_HOME` is set → root is `$ORCA_HOME`.
+3. Else → root is `~/.orca` (`$HOME/.orca`).
+
+## `ORCA_DB` Override
+
+For finer-grained control, `ORCA_DB` overrides **only** the database
+path (not the cert paths). This is primarily a testing affordance. When
+`ORCA_DB` is set, certs still resolve under `ORCA_HOME` (or `~/.orca`).
+
+```bash
+export ORCA_DB=/tmp/test.db
+orca daemon   # uses /tmp/test.db for the DB, ~/.orca/ for certs
+```
+
+## See Also

+- [Install Guide](install.md) — 1-liner install with `install.sh`.
+- [Docker Guide](docker.md) — running orca in a container (uses
+  `ORCA_HOME=/var/lib/orca` inside the image).
