fix(P05): final review fixes — PERSONAS.md body, config --addr precedence, migration 0007 dedup

Audit fix: PERSONAS.md body roster updated for v0.7 (was stale v0.6 content). Review P1-004: daemon --addr now uses cmd.Flags().Changed() to detect explicit flag, so config listen_addr only applies when --addr was not explicitly passed (correct flag>env>file>default precedence). Review P1-001: migration 0007 now dedups existing duplicate serial_hex rows before creating the UNIQUE index (backward-compat with v0.6 DBs that accumulated duplicates before the constraint existed). ---ci--- project: orca phase: 5 milestone: v0.7 status: execute requirements: covered: [REQ-053, REQ-054, REQ-055, REQ-056] partial: [] ---/ci---

+# Ideation: Orca v0.7 — Hardening & Completion
+
+Full autonomy mode: all ideas with confidence >= 0.60 are auto-accepted.
+The RESEARCH stage (commit `7c4b603`) surfaced 5 codebase gaps which are
+assessed below alongside 8 additional ideas generated by the 3-tier
+ideation process.
+
+Total generated: 13 ideas (5 Tier 1 + 5 Tier 2 + 3 Tier 3) plus 5
+inherited research findings = 18 considered. 13 accepted (all >= 0.60),
+0 skipped, 0 deferred. 4 of the accepted ideas are implementation
+refinements with no new REQ; 4 map to the v0.7 REQs (REQ-053..056)
+already declared in SPECIFY; the research findings confirmed the v0.7
+scope.
+
+## Tier 1: Mechanical Analysis (git + filesystem)
+
+### 1.1 Git-Native Pattern Mining
+
+- `git log --all --grep="lessons:"` — 1 lesson found (orch-engine P00
+  config.json schema reference). No repeated lessons in orca's own
+  history → no systemic process gap.
+- `git log --all --grep="escalation:"` — 0 escalations. The pipeline
+  has run clean across v0.1–v0.6.
+- `git log --all --grep="compound:"` — 0 compound learnings.
+- Low-confidence decisions (confidence < 0.7): none in `---ci---`
+  blocks. The lowest-confidence v0.7 decision is D-040 (pprof) at 0.85,
+  above threshold.
+
+### 1.2 Coverage Gap Analysis
+
+| ID | Idea | Source | Confidence | Status | Maps to |
+|----|------|--------|------------|--------|---------|
+| I-401 | `orca cert` command tree is unreachable — `NewCommand` in `internal/cli/cert.go` is never AddCommand'd to `rootCmd` | research §1.1 + `grep -rn "rootCmd.AddCommand"` (cert absent) | 0.98 | Accepted | REQ-053 |
+| I-402 | `internal/store/cert_repo.go` has no test file — every other repo has one | research §1.2 + `ls internal/store/*_test.go` | 0.95 | Accepted | REQ-053 (P01 companion) |
+| I-403 | `internal/engine` coverage 8.3% — only `scheduler_test.go` exists; executor, dispatcher, peer untested | research §1.3 + `go test -cover` | 0.90 | Accepted | REQ-055 |
+| I-404 | `internal/transport` coverage 26.3% — only `idempotency_test.go`; mtls, dispatch, handshake_log untested | research §1.3 | 0.90 | Accepted | REQ-055 |
+| I-405 | `internal/audit` has no test files — Emit, EmitWithErr, LogHandshake* untested | research §1.3 + `ls internal/audit/*_test.go` | 0.88 | Accepted | REQ-055 |
+
+### 1.3 Verification Layer Inversion (missing items)
+
+- **Structural**: `internal/cli/cert.go` defines a command that is
+  never wired in — a "documented but unreachable" component (I-401).
+- **Behavioral**: 4 packages below 50% coverage (I-403/404/405 + proxmox).
+- **Security**: no STRIDE gap — v0.7 adds no new trust boundary (pprof
+  is operator-only, addr-gated; cert registration exposes existing
+  security code).
+- **Quality**: no unresolved P1/P2 findings from v0.6 final review.
+
+## Tier 2: Backend-Enriched Analysis
+
+| ID | Idea | Source | Confidence | Status | Maps to |
+|----|------|--------|------------|--------|---------|
+| I-406 | HCL config file parser — `internal/config` package reusing `hclsimple.Decode` pattern from jobspec; D-009 promised it, never built | research §1.4 + D-009 | 0.92 | Accepted | REQ-054 |
+| I-407 | `--pprof <addr>` opt-in on `orca daemon` — I-308 deferred since v0.2; stdlib only, separate mux | research §1.5 + I-308 | 0.82 | Accepted | REQ-056 |
+| I-408 | Config precedence flag>env>file>default — table-driven test covering all 4 layers | backend-enriched (D-039) | 0.90 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-054; no new REQ) |
+| I-409 | pprof on separate `*http.Server` + `*http.ServeMux`, never on mTLS daemon listener | backend-enriched (AD-024) | 0.90 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-056; no new REQ) |
+| I-410 | CI coverage gate: `go test -cover ./internal/engine ./internal/transport ./internal/proxmox ./internal/audit` assert each ≥ 50% | backend-enriched (AD-025) | 0.85 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-055; no new REQ) |
+
+## Tier 3: Cross-Project Pattern Transfer
+
+| ID | Idea | Source | Confidence | Status | Maps to |
+|----|------|--------|------------|--------|---------|
+| I-411 | `orca version --json` already outputs structured `{version, commit, go_version, build_time}` (I-307 accepted v0.2) — verify still works, no new REQ | cross-project (carry-forward from v0.2 I-307) | 0.80 | Accepted (verification only) | (no new REQ; confirm in P03) |
+| I-412 | `orca cert` registration via `init()` co-located in `cert.go` — matches the self-registering pattern in `daemon.go`/`audit.go` | cross-project (orca's own convention) | 0.88 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-053; no new REQ) |
+| I-413 | No new direct dependencies in v0.7 — `net/http/pprof` (stdlib), `hashicorp/hcl/v2` (already direct) | cross-project (minimal-deps ethos) | 0.95 | Accepted | (constraint; no new REQ) |
+
+## Research-stage findings (assessed)
+
+| Finding | Verdict | Maps to |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| cert command unreachable (§1.1) | **Accepted** (I-401) | REQ-053 (P01) |
+| cert_repo has no test (§1.2) | **Accepted** (I-402) | REQ-053 (P01) |
+| low coverage: engine/transport/proxmox/audit (§1.3) | **Accepted** (I-403/404/405) | REQ-055 (P03) |
+| no HCL config parser (§1.4) | **Accepted** (I-406) | REQ-054 (P02) |
+| pprof deferred since v0.2 (§1.5) | **Accepted** (I-407) | REQ-056 (P04) |
+
+All 5 findings map to the v0.7 REQs declared in SPECIFY. The IDEATE
+stage confirms the scope and adds 8 implementation refinements
+(I-408..I-413) that inform the PLAN stage.
+
+## Dropped ideas (confidence < 0.60)
+
+None. The lowest-confidence accepted idea is I-407 (pprof) at 0.82.
+
+## Accepted Ideas (auto-accepted, full autonomy)
+
+13 ideas accepted (5 Tier 1 + 5 Tier 2 + 3 Tier 3). 4 map to net-new
+REQs (REQ-053..056, already declared in SPECIFY); 9 are implementation
+refinements recorded for the PLAN stage's benefit.
+
+## Resulting REQ additions
+
+| New REQ | Title | Phase | Source ideas |
+|---------|-------|-------|--------------|
+| REQ-053 | `orca cert` command tree registered + cert_repo tests | P01 | I-401, I-402, I-412 |
+| REQ-054 | HCL config file parsing (`internal/config`) | P02 | I-406, I-408 |
+| REQ-055 | Test coverage uplift — engine/transport/proxmox/audit ≥ 50% | P03 | I-403, I-404, I-405, I-410 |
+| REQ-056 | `--pprof <addr>` opt-in on `orca daemon` | P04 | I-407, I-409 |
+
+**Total net-new REQs**: 4 (REQ-053..056). All declared in SPECIFY;
+IDEATE confirms mapping and adds implementation refinements.
+
+## Deferred (recorded but not v0.7)
+
+None. I-308 (pprof) is no longer deferred — it is REQ-056 in P04.
+
+## Followup notes for PLAN stage
+
+- **P01** is the highest-impact, lowest-effort phase: a 1-line
+  `rootCmd.AddCommand` + a regression test + cert_repo_test.go. The
+  smoke test should run `cert ca-init` + `cert gen` + `cert show` +
+  `cert fingerprint` against a temp `ORCA_HOME` to catch any latent
+  bugs in the never-exercised cert subcommands.
+- **P02** config package must be a pure function (`Load(paths) ->
+  *Config`) with no package-level state. The `--config` flag on root
+  command loads the file and passes the merged `*Config` down via
+  cobra's `cmd.SetContext` or a struct field on the command.
+- **P03** coverage: target the interface seams (SSH dialer, peer
+  client) for mocks; use `httptest.NewTLSServer` for transport. Any
+  races uncovered by `-race` get fixed in P03, not deferred.
+- **P04** pprof: keep the daemon's mTLS listener untouched; start a
+  second `http.Server` only when `--pprof` is non-empty. Log a WARN
+  that the endpoint is unauthenticated.

 ### backend-engineer
 - **Domain**: backend

+- **Territory**: `**/config/**`, `**/api/**`, `**/*_handler*`, `internal/daemon/**` (non-pprof), `internal/cli/root.go` (config flag wiring)
 - **Active**: true
- **Reason**: Owns the `orca init` full-bootstrap orchestration (CA + cert + db + localhost node, idempotent) and the `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` SSH session sequence (dial, deploy pubkey, useradd, pveum, sudoers, visudo validate). Added `idempotent-bootstrap` constraint (D-036 — re-run must be skip-and-refresh) and `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh` to frameworks.
+- **Reason**: Owns `internal/config` package (P02 — HCL config file parsing, Load + MergeOverrides with flag>env>file>default precedence per D-039). No package-level state (AD-023). Config is a pure function passed explicitly to consumers.

 ### data-engineer

+- **Territory**: `**/store/**`, `**/model.go`, `**/migration*`, `migrations/**`, `internal/store/migrations/**`
 - **Active**: true
- **Reason**: Reactivated for v0.6. Owns migration `0006_node_kind_os.sql` (REQ-049 — nullable `kind`/`os` columns, backward-compatible) and `NodeRepo` schema extension (Insert/Get/List/Watch/scanNode column additions + new `GetByName`/`UpdateLastSeenAndOS` helpers). Added `nullable-column-handling` constraint (NULL → `""` in Go struct, not nil-deref).
+- **Reason**: Owns `cert_repo_test.go` (P01 companion — 11 tests covering Insert/Get/List/ListByNode/LatestForKind/PruneOlderThan/Delete + duplicate serial) and migration 0007 (UNIQUE index on `certs.serial_hex`). Co-owns `internal/proxmox/ssh_session_test.go` + `bootstrap_test.go` extension (P03 — transport/proxmox coverage).

Added `password-flag-redaction` constraint (D-031 — `--password` never echoed, prefer `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD`, zero after use).
+- **Active**: false (v0.7)
+- **Reason**: Deactivated — merged into lead-developer for v0.7. The cert registration is a 1-line AddCommand; the `--config` flag is root-command wiring; pprof is a daemon flag. No new CLI subsystem requiring a dedicated CLI persona.

 ### security-engineer

- **Territory**: `**/auth/**`, `**/audit/**`, `internal/security/**`, `internal/transport/**` (TLS config only), `internal/proxmox/**` (SSH + sudoers + PVE role)
- **Active**: true
- **Reason**: Reactivated for v0.6. Owns `internal/security/sshkey.go` (Ed25519 keygen, 0600/0644 mode enforcement per REQ-033 spirit), TOFU host-key pinning via `knownhosts.New`, sudoers least-privilege design (NOEXEC on pct/qm, exclude pvesh, no NOEXEC on apt-get/dpkg), password redaction (D-031), and audit logging of all bootstrap/join actions (REQ-052). Added `tofu-host-key-pinning` and `noexec-sudoers` constraints. Co-owns `internal/proxmox/**` with backend-engineer (security owns SSH auth + sudoers content; backend owns the session orchestration).
+- **Active**: false (v0.7)
+- **Reason**: Deactivated — v0.7 adds no new security surface. pprof is operator-only, addr-gated (AD-024); cert registration exposes existing security code, does not add new. The config package handles paths only (no secrets). Existing security constraints (file modes, redaction) are exercised by P01 smoke tests but not extended.

 ### devops-engineer
- **Active**: false (v0.6)
- **Reason**: Deactivated — v0.6 has no install.sh, Dockerfile, .coreci.yml, or release-pipeline surface. The Proxmox SSH bootstrap is backend + security work, not devops. Was active in v0.5 (distribution milestone).
+- **Active**: false (v0.7)
+- **Reason**: Deactivated — v0.7 has no packaging/distribution/release surface. Was active in v0.5 (distribution milestone).

 ### network-engineer
- **Active**: false (v0.6)
- **Reason**: v0.6 has no transport/mTLS surface. SSH is point-to-point bootstrap, not the mTLS mesh network-engineer owns.
+- **Active**: false (v0.7)
+- **Reason**: Deactivated — v0.7 has no transport/mTLS surface changes. P03 adds tests for existing transport code but no new network surface.

 ### frontend-engineer
- **Active**: false (v0.6)
+- **Active**: false (v0.7)
 - **Reason**: No web UI in Orca (unchanged from v0.1 onward).

 ## Territory Enforcement

 - **Mode**: `warn` (per `config.json`)
 - **Behavior**: Out-of-territory file changes log a warning but do not block.
- **Key overlaps in v0.6** (lead-developer adjudicates):
-  - `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.
+- **Key overlaps in v0.7** (lead-developer adjudicates):
+  - `internal/cli/root.go` — backend-engineer (config flag + context wiring) + lead-developer (existing root command). Boundary: backend owns `--config` flag + `configFromCtx`; lead owns all other root command behavior.
+  - `internal/cli/daemon.go` — lead-developer (pprof flag + config listen_addr wiring) + backend-engineer (config consumption). Boundary: lead owns the daemon command; backend's config package is consumed, not modified.
+  - `internal/store/migrations/` — data-engineer owns all migrations. No overlap in v0.7.

+# Phase 1 Verification Report — v0.7: Register `orca cert` Command Tree
+
+**Phase**: 1  
+**Branch**: `phase/01-cert-register`  
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-053  
+**Milestone**: v0.7 (Hardening & Completion)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/cli/cert.go` — added `init()` registering `NewCommand` on `rootCmd` (AD-022)
+- `internal/cli/init_test.go` — updated expected migration version 0006 → 0007
+- `internal/doctor/doctor_test.go` — relaxed DB check assertion to check `"migrations up to"` prefix (migration-version-agnostic)
+- `internal/store/migrate_test.go` — updated expected migration version 0006 → 0007
+
+### Files Created
+- `internal/cli/cert_test.go` — regression test for cert command registration + subcommand tree
+- `internal/cli/cert_smoke_test.go` — end-to-end smoke test (ca-init, gen, show, fingerprint, renew, file modes)
+- `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` — 11 tests covering Insert/Get/List/ListByNode/LatestForKind/PruneOlderThan/Delete + error paths
+- `internal/store/migrations/0007_certs_serial_unique.sql` — UNIQUE index on `certs.serial_hex` (I-107; migration-driven, not backfilled into 0004)
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### Test Results
+```
+go test ./...               → all PASS (exit 0)
+go test -race ./...         → all PASS (exit 0)
+go vet ./...                → clean
+make build                  → clean (v0.6.0)
+```
+
+### Coverage (store package)
+- Store total: 60.5% (up from 46.9%)
+- `cert_repo.go`: Insert 91.7%, Get 100%, LatestForKind 100%, PruneOlderThan 85.7%, Delete 85.7%, List/ListByNode 81.8%
+
+### CLI Smoke Test (manual)
+```
+./bin/orca cert                    → prints help (was: "unknown command")
+./bin/orca cert ca-init --cn X     → ✓ CA initialized, 0644/0600 modes
+./bin/orca cert fingerprint --which ca → 64-char hex SHA-256
+```
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- `orca cert show` redacts private key material (REQ-035) — verified in smoke test
+- Cert file modes enforced: 0600 keys, 0644 certs (REQ-033) — verified in smoke test
+- No secrets in logs — `cert.ca_init`/`cert.issued`/`cert.renewed` log events contain only fingerprints, never key bytes
+- Migration 0007 is additive (UNIQUE index), backward-compatible — no data loss
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No new dependencies added (`go.mod` unchanged)
+- No comments added (per project convention)
+- Test style matches existing `node_repo_test.go` / `root_test.go` patterns
+- All `---ci---` blocks present in commits
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `internal/cli/cert.go` — `init()` with `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(slog.Default()))`
+- [x] `internal/cli/cert_test.go` — regression test for registration + subcommands
+- [x] `internal/cli/cert_smoke_test.go` — e2e: ca-init, gen, show (redaction), fingerprint, renew, file modes
+- [x] `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` — 11 tests covering full CRUD + rotation history + duplicate serial
+- [x] `internal/store/migrations/0007_certs_serial_unique.sql` — UNIQUE index (I-107)
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers (structural, behavioral, security, quality) pass. REQ-053 is fully covered. The `orca cert` command tree is now reachable from the CLI, cert_repo has comprehensive tests, and the serial_hex UNIQUE constraint is enforced via migration.

+
+### API Surface
+```go

+func (c *Config) MergeOverrides(flags Flags, env Environ) *Config
+```
+- `Load` returns zero `&Config{}` if no file exists (no error)
+- `MergeOverrides` precedence: flag > env > file > default (D-039)
+- No package-level state (AD-023)
+
+### CLI Verification
+```
+./bin/orca --help → shows --config string flag
+```
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- Config file is read-only (no writes); parsed via `hclsimple.Decode` (no eval, no external commands)
+- No secrets in config (paths only; no tokens/keys in config.hcl)
+- Config file permissions not enforced (operator's responsibility; config contains no secrets)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No new dependencies (`hashicorp/hcl/v2` already in go.mod for jobspec)
+- No comments added (per project convention)
+- Test style matches existing `jobspec/spec_test.go` + `cli/root_test.go`
+- `go.mod` unchanged
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `internal/config/config.go` — Config struct + Load + MergeOverrides
+- [x] `internal/config/config_test.go` — 11 tests (all 4 precedence layers)
+- [x] `internal/config/testdata/config.hcl` — example fixture

+- [x] `internal/cli/daemon.go` — uses `cfg.ListenAddr` (flag still wins)
+- [x] `internal/cli/root_test.go` — config flag registration + load test
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers pass. REQ-054 is fully covered. The `internal/config` package provides HCL config file parsing with flag > env > file > default precedence, wired into the root command via `--config` and consumed by the daemon.

+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/transport/dispatch.go` — **bug fix**: `bytesReadCloser.Read` returned `fmt.Errorf("EOF")` instead of `io.EOF`, breaking HTTP request body transmission. This was a latent bug that prevented any client-side dispatch from working end-to-end.
+- `internal/proxmox/bootstrap_test.go` — extended with 10 new tests (mockSSHDialer, SSH auth failure, dial-addr/port/user propagation, SSH key generation, known_hosts, nil/custom logger, cancelled context, deployPubKey edge cases)

+All 4 packages exceed the 50% floor (AD-025).
+
+### Total new tests: 94 (37 engine+audit + 57 transport+proxmox)
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- The `dispatch.go` bug fix (`io.EOF` vs `fmt.Errorf("EOF")`) is a correctness fix — HTTP request bodies now terminate correctly. No security implications (the bug caused requests to fail, not to leak data).
+- No new dependencies added.
+- Test fixtures use temp dirs (`t.TempDir()`) — no persistent state.
+- No secrets in test code (SSH keys are test-generated Ed25519 pairs).
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No comments added (per project convention).
+- Test style matches existing patterns (`scheduler_test.go`, `node_repo_test.go`, `certgen_test.go`).
+- `go.mod` unchanged.
+- Bug fix in `dispatch.go` is minimal (1 line: `return fmt.Errorf("EOF")` → `return io.EOF` + `io` import).

+register the unreachable `orca cert` command, add HCL config file parsing,
+uplift test coverage in core packages, and add the long-deferred pprof
+endpoint.
+
+Branching: `phase/01-cert-register`..`phase/05-final-review-ship` on the
+`milestone/v0.7-hardening-completion` branch (numbering restarts per
+milestone per branch-strategy.md).

+## Phase 1: Register `orca cert` Command Tree + cert_repo Tests (Wave 1)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/01-cert-register`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-053
+**Persona leads**: lead-developer (cert registration + smoke test), data-engineer (cert_repo tests)
+**Source ideas**: I-401, I-402, I-412
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### lead-developer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/cert.go` — add `init()` that calls `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(slog.Default()))`. This is the one-line fix that makes the entire `cert ca-init | gen | show | renew | fingerprint` tree reachable. (AD-022)
+- [ ] `internal/cli/cert_test.go` (NEW) — regression test asserting `rootCmd.Commands()` contains a child whose `Use == "cert"`; assert each subcommand (`ca-init`, `gen`, `show`, `renew`, `fingerprint`) is present on the cert child.
+- [ ] `internal/cli/cert_smoke_test.go` (NEW) — end-to-end smoke test against a temp `ORCA_HOME`:
+  - [ ] `orca cert ca-init --cn test-ca` → succeeds, `ca.crt` + `ca.key` exist with modes 0644/0600
+  - [ ] `orca cert gen --cn test-server --san localhost --san 127.0.0.1` → succeeds, `server.crt` + `server.key` exist with modes 0644/0600
+  - [ ] `orca cert show` → outputs PEM with no `PRIVATE KEY` blocks (REQ-035 redaction)
+  - [ ] `orca cert fingerprint --which ca` → outputs a 64-char hex SHA-256
+  - [ ] `orca cert fingerprint --which server` → outputs a 64-char hex SHA-256
+  - [ ] `orca cert renew` → succeeds, server cert file mtime updates
+- [ ] `internal/cli/root_test.go` — extend the existing root test to assert `orca cert` is in the command tree (belt-and-suspenders with cert_test.go)
+
+#### data-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` (NEW) — table-driven tests for `CertRepo`:
+  - [ ] `Insert` a cert row → `Get` by serial returns matching row
+  - [ ] `Insert` duplicate `serial_hex` → returns error (UNIQUE constraint, I-107)
+  - [ ] `List` returns certs ordered by `issued_at desc`
+  - [ ] Rotation history: Insert 4 certs for the same node → only last N=3 retained (REQ-025); oldest is pruned
+  - [ ] `GetActive` returns the most-recent cert for a node
+  - [ ] `Delete` removes a cert by serial
+
+### Verification
+
+- `go build ./...` PASS
+- `go vet ./...` PASS
+- `go test ./internal/cli/... ./internal/store/...` PASS

+## Phase 2: HCL Config File Parsing (Wave 1)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/02-config-parser`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-054
+**Persona leads**: backend-engineer (config package), lead-developer (root command --config flag wiring)
+**Source ideas**: I-406, I-408
+**Depends on**: Phase 1 (cert registration lands first so the CLI surface is complete before config extends it)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### backend-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/config/config.go` (NEW package) — `Config` struct with HCL tags:
+  - [ ] `DBPath string `hcl:"db_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `ListenAddr string `hcl:"listen_addr,optional"``
+  - [ ] `CAPath string `hcl:"ca_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `ServerCertPath string `hcl:"server_cert_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `ServerKeyPath string `hcl:"server_key_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `NodeCapacity *CapacityConfig `hcl:"node_capacity,block"` (optional block)
+  - [ ] `Load(paths ...string) (*Config, error)` — loads the first existing file from `paths` via `hclsimple.Decode` (reuse the jobspec pattern, `internal/jobspec/spec.go:40`); returns a zero-value `Config` if no file exists (no error)
+  - [ ] `(*Config).MergeOverrides(flags Flags, env Environ) *Config` — applies precedence flag > env > file > default (D-039). Only non-zero flag values override; only set env vars override; file values are the base; missing fields fall back to `certpaths.*` defaults.
+  - [ ] No package-level state (AD-023). `Load` is a pure function.
+- [ ] `internal/config/config_test.go` (NEW) — table-driven tests:
+  - [ ] Load from a valid HCL file → all fields populated
+  - [ ] Load from a missing file → zero Config, no error
+  - [ ] Load from a malformed HCL file → error
+  - [ ] MergeOverrides: flag wins over env wins over file wins over default (all 4 layers exercised)
+  - [ ] MergeOverrides: empty flag does NOT override a set env value
+  - [ ] MergeOverrides: empty env does NOT override a set file value
+  - [ ] Optional `node_capacity` block parsed correctly
+
+#### lead-developer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/root.go` — add `--config string` persistent flag (default `""`). In `PersistentPreRunE`, if `--config` is set, call `config.Load(flag)` and stash the `*Config` in `cmd.Context()` via a context key. If `--config` is empty, `config.Load` is not called (zero overhead; existing flag/env behavior unchanged).
+- [ ] `internal/cli/daemon.go` — in the daemon command, if a `*Config` is present in the context, use `cfg.ListenAddr` as the default addr (flag still overrides per D-039).
+- [ ] `internal/cli/root_test.go` — extend with `--config <tmpfile>` test: pass a config file, assert the merged values reach the daemon command.
+- [ ] `testdata/config.hcl` (NEW) — example config file for tests:
+  ```hcl
+  db_path       = "/tmp/orca/test.db"
+  listen_addr   = "127.0.0.1:9999"
+  ca_path       = "/tmp/orca/ca.crt"
+  server_cert_path = "/tmp/orca/server.crt"
+  server_key_path  = "/tmp/orca/server.key"
+  ```
+
+### Verification
+
+- `go build ./...` PASS
+- `go vet ./...` PASS
+- `go test ./internal/config/... ./internal/cli/...` PASS
+- `go test -race ./...` PASS
+- `./bin/orca --config testdata/config.hcl daemon --help` → no error
+- Precedence test: flag value overrides config file value for the same key
+- No new direct deps (`hashicorp/hcl/v2` already in go.mod)
+

+
+## Phase 3: Test Coverage Uplift (Wave 1)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/03-coverage-uplift`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-055
+**Persona leads**: lead-developer (engine/transport/audit tests), data-engineer (store coverage)
+**Source ideas**: I-403, I-404, I-405, I-410
+**Depends on**: Phase 1 + Phase 2 (tests build on the now-reachable cert tree + config package)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### lead-developer territory — internal/engine
+- [ ] `internal/engine/executor_test.go` (NEW) — test `Executor.Start`/`Wait` lifecycle:
+  - [ ] Start a command (`/bin/echo hello`) → Wait → exit code 0, stdout captured
+  - [ ] Start a failing command (`/bin/false`) → exit code non-zero
+  - [ ] Cancel via ctx → process killed, `WaitDelay` honored (REQ-021)
+  - [ ] Env propagation: `Env=["FOO=bar"]` → child process sees `FOO=bar`
+- [ ] `internal/engine/dispatcher_test.go` (NEW) — test `Dispatcher.Submit`/`Dispatch`:
+  - [ ] Submit a job → dispatched to the correct peer (mock peer client)
+  - [ ] Idempotency key present → retry on transient failure (mock returns error twice then succeeds)
+  - [ ] Idempotency key absent → no retry (REQ-037)
+  - [ ] Bounded queue backpressure: fill the channel → Submit blocks (with timeout assertion)
+- [ ] `internal/engine/peer_test.go` (NEW) — test the peer HTTP client:
+  - [ ] `httptest.NewTLSServer` mock → peer client POSTs a dispatch request
+  - [ ] TLS handshake failure → structured error with `peer` + `err` fields
+
+#### lead-developer territory — internal/transport
+- [ ] `internal/transport/mtls_test.go` (NEW) — test mTLS handshake:
+  - [ ] `httptest.NewTLSServer` with a test CA → client with valid cert handshakes OK
+  - [ ] Client with expired cert → handshake fails with `event=mtls.handshake` log assertion
+  - [ ] Client with wrong CA → handshake fails
+- [ ] `internal/transport/dispatch_test.go` (NEW) — test `Dispatch` RPC:
+  - [ ] Successful dispatch → 200 OK
+  - [ ] Dispatch with `X-Orca-Idempotency-Key` → idempotent
+  - [ ] Dispatch without key → 400 (per REQ-037)
+- [ ] `internal/transport/handshake_log_test.go` (NEW) — assert `LogHandshakeOK`/`LogHandshakeFailed` emit the correct slog fields (`event`, `peer`, `cert_fp`, `err`)
+
+#### lead-developer territory — internal/audit
+- [ ] `internal/audit/audit_test.go` (NEW) — test the `Audit` wrapper:
+  - [ ] `Emit` with `ActionCertIssued` + `ResultSuccess` → `engine.Record` called with correct args (mock `engine.Audit`)
+  - [ ] `EmitWithErr` → `engine.Record` called with `result=failure` + err in metadata
+  - [ ] `LogHandshakeOK` → slog output contains `event=mtls.handshake`, `result=ok`, `peer`, `cert_fp`
+  - [ ] `LogHandshakeFailed` → slog output contains `result=failed` + `err`
+  - [ ] Nil-safe: `(*Audit)(nil).Emit(...)` → no panic
+
+#### data-engineer territory — internal/proxmox
+- [ ] `internal/proxmox/bootstrap_test.go` — extend the existing test:
+  - [ ] Mock the `sshDialer` interface (already present at `bootstrap.go:211`) → assert the full bootstrap sequence calls the right shell commands in order (user create, role create, role assign, sudoers drop, pubkey deploy)
+  - [ ] Idempotent re-run: mock returns "already exists" for user create → bootstrap succeeds without re-creating
+  - [ ] SSH auth failure → bootstrap returns wrapped error
+  - [ ] Assert no password is logged (D-031)
+
+#### CI gate (I-410)
+- [ ] `.coreci.yml` — add a `coverage-gate` step in the `test` pipeline that runs `go test -cover ./internal/engine ./internal/transport ./internal/proxmox ./internal/audit` and fails if any package < 50% (AD-025). Use a small shell snippet + `awk`/`grep` to parse coverage percentages.
+
+### Verification
+
+- `go build ./...` PASS
+- `go test -race ./...` PASS
+- `go test -cover ./internal/engine` → ≥ 50% (was 8.3%)
+- `go test -cover ./internal/transport` → ≥ 50% (was 26.3%)
+- `go test -cover ./internal/proxmox` → ≥ 50% (was 5.1%)
+- `go test -cover ./internal/audit` → ≥ 50% (was 0%)
+- CI coverage gate step passes
+- Any races uncovered by `-race` are fixed in this phase (not deferred)

+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-056
+**Persona leads**: lead-developer (daemon flag + pprof server)
+**Source ideas**: I-407, I-409
+**Depends on**: Phase 3 (daemon tests exist; pprof adds a new daemon path)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### lead-developer territory
+- [ ] `internal/daemon/pprof.go` (NEW) — `StartPprof(addr string, log *slog.Logger) (*http.Server, error)`:
+  - [ ] Create a dedicated `*http.ServeMux` (NOT `http.DefaultServeMux`)
+  - [ ] `import _ "net/http/pprof"` → register `pprof.Index`, `pprof.Cmdline`, `pprof.Profile`, `pprof.Symbol`, `pprof.Trace`, `pprof.Handler` on the dedicated mux
+  - [ ] Return a `*http.Server` listening on `addr` with the dedicated mux
+  - [ ] Log a WARN: `pprof endpoint exposed unauthenticated on <addr> — operator-only, do not expose publicly`
+  - [ ] Never touch the mTLS daemon listener (AD-024)
+- [ ] `internal/daemon/server.go` — add a `pprofAddr string` field to `Options` (default `""` = disabled). In `Start`, if `pprofAddr != ""`, call `StartPprof` and store the `*http.Server` for `Shutdown`.
+- [ ] `internal/daemon/pprof_test.go` (NEW) — test:
+  - [ ] `StartPprof("127.0.0.1:0", ...)` → server starts, GET `/debug/pprof/` returns 200
+  - [ ] GET `/debug/pprof/cmdline` returns the cmdline
+  - [ ] `Shutdown` stops the pprof server
+  - [ ] The mTLS daemon server (if running) is unaffected by pprof start/stop
+- [ ] `internal/cli/daemon.go` — add `--pprof string` flag (default `""` = disabled). Pass it into `daemon.Options.PprofAddr`. Document in `--help`: "enable pprof endpoint on <addr> (e.g. :6060); unauthenticated, operator-only".
+- [ ] `internal/cli/daemon_test.go` — extend: `--pprof 127.0.0.1:0` → daemon starts with pprof; flag absent → no pprof server.
+
+### Verification
+
+- `go build ./...` PASS
+- `go vet ./...` PASS
+- `go test -race ./internal/daemon/...` PASS
+- `./bin/orca daemon --pprof 127.0.0.1:0` (in background) → `curl http://127.0.0.1:<port>/debug/pprof/` returns 200
+- `./bin/orca daemon` (no `--pprof`) → no pprof listener, `/debug/pprof/` not reachable on the daemon port
+- pprof mux is separate from the mTLS daemon mux (asserted in test)

+The 5 v0.7 decisions (D-038..D-042) were auto-resolved at full autonomy
+within the `clarify_budget` (10):
+
+| ID | Question | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
+|----|----------|----------|-----------|------------|
+| D-038 | Config file format — HCL or YAML? | **HCL** | D-009 already specced `config.hcl`. HCL is already a direct dep (hashicorp/hcl/v2 for jobspec). Adding YAML would introduce a second parser dep — violates minimal-deps. Use the existing `hclparse` pkg from jobspec. | 0.93 |
+| D-039 | Config precedence order (flag vs env vs file vs default)? | **flag > env > file > default** | Standard layered config: the most explicit (flag) wins, then the runtime (env), then the persisted (file), then the built-in default. Matches cobra/viper convention without the viper dep. | 0.92 |
+| D-040 | pprof security — bind to localhost only, or operator-chosen addr? | **Operator-chosen `--pprof <addr>` (default disabled)** | Default disabled keeps the minimalist posture. Operator picks the addr — localhost for dev, unix socket for prod. Separate mux so it never touches the mTLS daemon listener. No auth (pprof is operator-only, addr is the gate). | 0.85 |
+| D-041 | cert command registration — where in root command order? | **After `cert` is unreachable today, append after `node` in rootCmd.AddCommand order** | Alphabetical-ish with the existing cluster (audit, daemon, doctor, init, job, node, cert, status, version). No behavior change to existing commands. | 0.88 |
+| D-042 | Coverage target — 50% floor or higher? | **50% floor per package, 70% target for new packages** | 50% is achievable for the concurrent packages (engine, transport) without heroic mock effort; 70% is the floor for new code in P02/P04. Avoids a "raise coverage everywhere" rathole. | 0.85 |
+
+## v0.7 Scope Summary — Hardening & Completion
+
+v0.7 is a 4-execution-phase **NFR milestone** that closes out gaps
+surfaced by the v0.7 IDEATE stage: an unreachable command tree, a
+missing config file layer, low test coverage in core packages, and the
+long-deferred pprof endpoint. The engine functionality from v0.1–v0.6
+is unchanged; this milestone is purely about **correctness, coverage,
+and operability**:
+
+- **P01 — Register `orca cert` command tree + cert_repo tests.** The
+  `internal/cli/cert.go` command (`cert ca-init`, `cert gen`, `cert
+  show`, `cert renew`, `cert fingerprint`) is fully implemented but
+  never wired into `rootCmd`. This phase adds the missing
+  `rootCmd.AddCommand(newCertCmd(...))` and adds the missing
+  `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go`. Covers REQ-053.
+- **P02 — HCL config file parsing (`config.hcl`).** D-009 specified
+  `~/.orca/config.hcl` and `/etc/orca/orca.hcl` as config locations,
+  but no HCL config-file parser exists — the CLI relies entirely on
+  flags and env vars. This phase adds a minimal `internal/config`
+  package that loads `config.hcl` (keys: `db_path`, `listen_addr`,
+  `ca_path`, `server_cert_path`, `server_key_path`, `node_capacity`),
+  merges with env/flag overrides (flag > env > file > default), and
+  surfaces it via `--config` flag on the root command. Covers
+  REQ-054.
+- **P03 — Test coverage uplift.** Adds tests for the lowest-coverage
+  packages: `internal/engine` (executor, dispatcher, peer — currently
+  8.3%), `internal/transport` (mtls, dispatch, handshake_log —
+  currently 26.3%), `internal/proxmox` (bootstrap SSH path —
+  currently 5.1%), and `internal/audit` (no tests). Target: every
+  package ≥ 50% coverage. Covers REQ-055.
+- **P04 — `--pprof` opt-in on `orca daemon`.** Adds the long-deferred
+  I-308 pprof endpoint behind an opt-in `--pprof <addr>` flag (default
+  disabled). `net/http/pprof` mounted on a separate mux so it never
+  touches the mTLS daemon listener. Covers REQ-056.
+- **P05 — Final review + ship + audit.** Milestone release.
+
+The vision ("minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration
+engine") is unchanged. v0.7 is a hardening milestone, not a direction
+change. Milestone type: NFR (all phases are fix/test/chore); the final
+phase's progressive patch IS the deliverable per `run.md` versioning
+logic. Tags run on the v0.6.x patch line: `v0.6.0` (P0) … `v0.6.5` (P05

+# Research: Orca v0.7 — Hardening & Completion
+
+## 1. Codebase audit findings (RESEARCH stage)
+
+A full codebase audit surfaced the gaps that define the v0.7 scope.
+Each finding is grounded in a specific file/coverage measurement.
+
+### 1.1 `orca cert` command tree is unreachable (critical)
+
+- `internal/cli/cert.go:44` exports `NewCommand(log *slog.Logger)
+  *cobra.Command` which builds the full `cert ca-init | gen | show |
+  renew | fingerprint` tree (5 subcommands, all implemented, all
+  spec-compliant per REQ-033/035/036).
+- **No file in the repo calls `NewCommand` or registers it on
+  `rootCmd`.** `grep -rn "rootCmd.AddCommand" internal/cli/` lists
+  daemon, init, audit, version, job, node, doctor, status — `cert` is
+  absent. `./bin/orca cert` returns `error: unknown command "cert"`.
+- The function is named `NewCommand` (not `newCertCmd`), so it is not
+  picked up by any init-based registration convention.
+- **Impact**: every cert operation the spec promises (REQ-023, REQ-025,
+  REQ-033, REQ-035, REQ-036) is unreachable from the CLI. Operators
+  cannot bootstrap a CA, issue a server cert, or rotate one without
+  hand-crafting calls into the `security` package. This is the single
+  highest-impact bug in the v0.1–v0.6 line.
+- **Fix**: one-line `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(log))` in
+  `internal/cli/cert.go` (or a new `init()`), plus a regression test
+  that asserts `rootCmd.Commands()` contains a child whose `Use ==
+  "cert"`.
+
+### 1.2 `internal/store/cert_repo.go` has no test file
+
+- `internal/store/cert_repo.go` exists (the `certs` table from
+  migration 0004) but `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` does not.
+- Every other repo in `internal/store/` has a `_test.go`:
+  `node_repo_test.go`, `job_task_repo_test.go`, `capacity_repo_test.go`,
+  `audit_repo_test.go`, `migrate_test.go`.
+- **Fix**: add `cert_repo_test.go` covering Insert/Get/List/rotation
+  history (N=3 per REQ-025) + serial_hex uniqueness.
+
+### 1.3 Low test coverage in core packages
+
+| Package | Coverage | Missing tests for |
+|---------|----------|-------------------|
+| `internal/engine` | 8.3% | `executor.go`, `dispatcher.go`, `peer.go` (only `scheduler_test.go` exists) |
+| `internal/transport` | 26.3% | `mtls.go`, `dispatch.go`, `handshake_log.go` (only `idempotency_test.go` exists) |
+| `internal/proxmox` | 5.1% | `bootstrap.go` SSH path (only `bootstrap_test.go` exists, exercises the no-op dry-run) |
+| `internal/audit` | no test files | `audit.go` (Emit, EmitWithErr, LogHandshake*) |
+
+- Target per D-042: 50% floor per package, 70% for new code in P02/P04.
+- Strategy: table-driven tests + `httptest.NewTLSServer` for transport;
+  interface-based mocks for the SSH dialer (already an interface in
+  `proxmox/bootstrap.go:211` `defaultSSHDialer` with `DialContext`).
+
+### 1.4 No HCL config file parser
+
+- D-009 specified `~/.orca/config.hcl` and `/etc/orca/orca.hcl` as
+  config locations. `find . -name "*.hcl"` returns only testdata
+  (`testdata/hello.hcl`, `testdata/fail.hcl`) used by jobspec tests.
+- The CLI relies entirely on flags + env vars (`ORCA_HOME`,
+  `ORCA_DB`, `ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD`). There is no `internal/config`
+  package.
+- `internal/jobspec/spec.go:40` already uses
+  `hclsimple.Decode(filename, data, nil, &spec)` — the exact same
+  pattern works for a `Config` struct. No new dep required (hashicorp/hcl/v2
+  is already a direct dep).
+- **Fix**: new `internal/config` package with a `Config` struct (HCL
+  tags: `db_path`, `listen_addr`, `ca_path`, `server_cert_path`,
+  `server_key_path`, `node_capacity`), a `Load(paths ...string)`
+  function, and a `--config` flag on the root command. Precedence per
+  D-039: flag > env > file > default.
+
+### 1.5 pprof endpoint (I-308, deferred since v0.2)
+
+- I-308 was deferred in v0.2 IDEATE ("keep v0.2 lean") and never
+  revisited. The daemon (`internal/daemon/server.go`) has no pprof
+  surface today.
+- `net/http/pprof` is stdlib — zero new deps. Mount on a separate
+  `*http.ServeMux` so it never touches the mTLS daemon listener.
+- **Fix**: `--pprof <addr>` flag on `orca daemon` (default disabled).
+  If set, start a second `http.Server` on `<addr>` with
+  `pprof.Index`/`pprof.Cmdline`/etc. registered. Log a WARN that the
+  endpoint is unauthenticated + operator-only.
+
+## 2. Prior art & patterns
+
+### 2.1 HCL config in HashiCorp tools
+
+Nomad, Consul, and Terraform all use HCL for config with the same
+`hclsimple.Decode` + struct-tag pattern. The precedence model (flag >
+env > file > default) is the de-facto standard; Viper implements it but
+adds a large dep. Orca's `internal/config` will implement the 4-layer
+merge by hand (~80 LOC) to stay minimal-deps.
+
+### 2.2 pprof in Go daemons
+
+Standard pattern: `import _ "net/http/pprof"` registers handlers on
+`http.DefaultServeMux`. Best practice for production daemons is a
+**separate listener** (not DefaultServeMux) so pprof is never exposed
+on the public port. Orca will use a dedicated `*http.ServeMux` +
+`http.Server` on the `--pprof` addr, default disabled.
+
+### 2.3 Test coverage for concurrent Go
+
+`internal/engine` (executor, dispatcher) and `internal/transport`
+(mtls, dispatch) are concurrent. Coverage strategy:
+- `httptest.NewTLSServer` for transport — exercise real TLS handshakes
+  against an in-process server.
+- Interface-based mocks for the SSH dialer (proxmox) and the peer
+  client (transport) — both already have interface seams.
+- `sync.WaitGroup` + channel assertions for executor/dispatcher
+  lifecycle.
+- `-race` is already on in CI (REQ-031) — new tests inherit it.
+
+## 3. v0.7 Architectural Decisions (AD-022..AD-026)
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| AD-022 | `orca cert` registered via `init()` in `cert.go` calling `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(slog.Default()))` | Keeps registration co-located with the command definition; matches the pattern in `daemon.go`/`audit.go` where each command file self-registers. Avoids a central registration function that would drift. |
+| AD-023 | `internal/config` package: `Config` struct + `Load(paths ...string) (*Config, error)`; no global singleton | Config is passed explicitly to `daemon.NewServer`, `cli` commands, etc. No package-level state — testable, no init-order surprises. |
+| AD-024 | pprof on a separate `*http.Server` + `*http.ServeMux`, default disabled | Never co-mingles with the mTLS daemon listener. Operator opts in via `--pprof :6060`. Matches Go daemon best practice. |
+| AD-025 | Coverage floor measured per-package via `go test -cover ./<pkg>` | No aggregate threshold (aggregates hide low-coverage packages). CI gate added in P03: `go test -cover ./internal/engine ./internal/transport ./internal/proxmox ./internal/audit` and assert each ≥ 50%. |
+| AD-026 | No new direct dependencies in v0.7 | `net/http/pprof` (stdlib), `hashicorp/hcl/v2` (already direct). v0.7 preserves the minimal-deps ethos. |
+
+## 4. PERSONAS assessment
+
+v0.7 is an NFR milestone touching CLI, config, tests, and daemon. The
+default 3-persona roster (lead-developer, backend-engineer,
+data-engineer) is sufficient:
+
+- **lead-developer**: owns P01 (cert registration) + P04 (pprof) — CLI/
+  daemon territory.
+- **backend-engineer**: owns P02 (config package) — internal/config +
+  CLI integration.
+- **data-engineer**: owns P01 cert_repo tests + P03 store coverage —
+  `internal/store` territory.
+- **lead-developer** also owns P03 engine/transport/proxmox/audit
+  coverage (test-only phase, no schema changes).
+
+No new personas needed. No phase-specific personas. Territory
+enforcement stays `warn`. See `.ciagent/PERSONAS.md` (updated).
+
+## 5. Dependencies
+
+v0.7 adds **zero** new direct dependencies:
+- HCL parsing: `hashicorp/hcl/v2` (already direct, used by jobspec).
+- pprof: `net/http/pprof` (stdlib).
+- Tests: `net/http/httptest` (stdlib), existing interfaces.
+
+`go.mod` is unchanged by v0.7.
+
+## 6. Risks
+
+- **P01 cert registration** may surface latent bugs in the cert
+  subcommands (they've never been exercised end-to-end). Mitigation:
+  P01 includes a smoke test that runs `cert ca-init` + `cert gen` +
+  `cert show` + `cert fingerprint` against a temp `ORCA_HOME`.
+- **P02 config precedence** is easy to get wrong (flag/env/file/default
+  merge order). Mitigation: table-driven test covering all 4 layers.
+- **P03 coverage** on concurrent packages may reveal race conditions
+  (already hidden by the 8.3% coverage). Mitigation: `-race` is on; P03
+  fixes any races it uncovers as part of the same phase.

Jon Chery	d7d6961261	fix(P05): final review fixes — PERSONAS.md body, config --addr precedence, migration 0007 dedup Audit fix: PERSONAS.md body roster updated for v0.7 (was stale v0.6 content). Review P1-004: daemon --addr now uses cmd.Flags().Changed() to detect explicit flag, so config listen_addr only applies when --addr was not explicitly passed (correct flag>env>file>default precedence). Review P1-001: migration 0007 now dedups existing duplicate serial_hex rows before creating the UNIQUE index (backward-compat with v0.6 DBs that accumulated duplicates before the constraint existed). ---ci--- project: orca phase: 5 milestone: v0.7 status: execute requirements: covered: [REQ-053, REQ-054, REQ-055, REQ-056] partial: [] ---/ci---	2026-08-04 00:28:48 +00:00
