docs(P01): verify — APPROVE_WITH_NOTES, 4 P0 fixed, 18/20 REQ covered

Verification layers:
  Structural: PASS (all scripts executable, syntax clean, Dockerfile valid)
  Behavioral: PASS (121 bats, 77 pytest, docker build succeeds, compose valid)
  Security: PASS (no secrets committed, .dockerignore excludes .env*, env_file pattern)
  Quality: PASS (coreci patterns followed, no coreci refs, G-104/G-105/G-106 verified)

P0 issues found and auto-fixed:
  1. docker-compose.yml: removed invalid restart_policy key, fixed env_file syntax
  2. pyproject.toml: added fastapi + uvicorn deps (v0.1 gap exposed by Dockerfile)
  3. timing.sh: renamed coreci_deploy_timing → praxis_deploy_timing (TASK-03-07)
  4. firstboot-hook.sh: fixed idempotency check (/opt/praxis/.git not /usr/local/bin/praxis-deploy)

P1+ issues: 8 (1 fixed: lxc-config.sh default alignment, 7 noted for post-hoc review)
REQ coverage: 18/20 covered, 2 deferred (live first-boot timing + live E2E require cluster)
Must-haves: 25/28 pass, 2 partial (comment-only diffs, no Makefile), 1 deferred

-## Overall Verdict
+## 1. Structural Verification
 
-| | |
-|---|---|
-| **Verdict** | **PASSED (with documented gaps)** |
-| **Confidence** | 0.82 |
-| **REQ coverage** | 15 / 15 P1 REQ-IDs covered by code |
-| **Exit criteria** | 8 / 10 fully verified; 2 pending live API keys (documented gap, not a failure) |
-| **Tests** | 73 passed, 9 skipped (pending-keys), 0 failed |
-| **P0 fixes applied** | 2 (cosmetic-typo + dead-code cleanup; no logic/behavior change) |
-| **P1+ flagged** | 6 (post-hoc review) |
-| **Escalations** | 0 |
+| Item | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| All 20 REQ-IDs have implementation files | ✅ PASS | All 16 REQ-DEPLOY-* + 4 REQ-NFR-DEPLOY-* mapped to files |
+| All scripts executable (chmod +x) | ✅ PASS | 12 scripts in `scripts/proxmox/` + `scripts/install-service.sh` all `-rwxr-xr-x` |
+| All shell scripts pass `bash -n` | ✅ PASS | 13/13 scripts syntax-valid |
+| Dockerfile valid (stages, COPY ordering, CMD) | ✅ PASS | Multi-stage `node:22-slim` → `python:3.12-slim`; G-105 fix applied (copy pyproject.toml + README.md before `pip install .`); `CMD ["python", "-m", "server"]` |
+| docker-compose.yml valid YAML | ✅ PASS (after P0 fix) | `docker compose config --quiet` exits 0 after removing invalid `restart_policy` + making `env_file` optional |
+| .dockerignore excludes secrets | ✅ PASS | `.ciagent/` excluded; `.env`, `.env.secrets`, `.env.*` excluded with `!.env.example` exception; `scripts/`, `*.db`, `*.onnx` excluded |
+| .gitignore excludes .env.secrets, allows .env.example | ✅ PASS | `git check-ignore .ciagent/.env.secrets` → matches; `git check-ignore .env.example` → no match; `!.env.example` exception present (D-038) |
 
-**One-line summary:** Phase 1 is structurally complete, behaviorally verified (all offline-testable paths green), and secure for a single-learner tech-validation harness. The two unverifiable exit criteria (live audio session + live latency measurement) are blocked on voice-service key provisioning, not on code defects — auto-generated tests in `tests/test_pending_keys.py` will exercise them when keys are present. Two risk-free cosmetic P0 fixes were applied (a misspelled constant `_DEBRIFF_` → `_DEBRIEF_` and a dead-code line in `debrief.py`); neither changed runtime behavior (verified by re-running the full suite).
+**Structural result: PASS** (1 P0 fixed: docker-compose.yml `restart_policy` invalid key)

-## Layer 1 — Structural ✅ PASS
+## 2. Behavioral Verification
 
-### 1.1 Files referenced in PLAN.md exist on disk
+| Item | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| Bats tests: `bats scripts/proxmox/test/` | ✅ PASS | **121/121 tests pass** across 10 .bats files (api, e2e-deploy, firstboot-hook, health-check, lxc-clone, lxc-config, lxc-deploy, lxc-start, rollback, stage-snippet) |
+| Python tests: `pytest tests/ -x -q` | ✅ PASS | 77 passed, 9 skipped (live voice-service key tests — expected, no keys provisioned); v0.1 tests still pass after `db/store.py` + `db/migrate.py` PRAXIS_DB_PATH changes |
+| Dockerfile builds: `docker build -t praxis:verify .` | ✅ PASS (after P0 fix) | Build completes in ~105s; **required adding `fastapi` + `uvicorn` to pyproject.toml** (they were undeclared v0.1 deps — image failed to start without them) |
+| FastAPI StaticFiles mount doesn't break API routes | ✅ PASS | `GET /health` → `{"status":"ok",...}`; `GET /` → `<!doctype html>` (index.html); `GET /nonexistent` → 404; routes registered before mount (correct ordering) |
+| PRAXIS_DB_PATH env read works | ✅ PASS | `db/store.py:28` reads `os.environ.get("PRAXIS_DB_PATH", "praxis.db")`; `db/migrate.py:10` reads same; G-102 fix applied |
+| Image contains `client/dist/index.html` | ✅ PASS | `docker run --rm praxis:verify ls /app/client/dist/index.html` → exists |
+| Image does NOT contain `client/node_modules` | ✅ PASS | `ls /app/client/node_modules` → No such file |
+| Image does NOT contain `.ciagent/` (secrets) | ✅ PASS | `.ciagent/` excluded by .dockerignore |
+| `import server; import pipecat; import fastapi` in image | ✅ PASS (after P0 fix) | Prints `ok` |
 
-All 26 task deliverables verified present:
-
-| Slice | Expected artifact | Present? |
-|---|---|---|
-| SLICE-01 | `scripts/probe_deepgram.py`, `probe_cartesia.py`, `probe_ollama.py`, `probe_e2e.py`, `docs/latency-report.md` | ✅ all 5 |
-| SLICE-02 | `server/services/{base,registry,__init__}.py`, `server/tts/{cartesia_tts,piper_tts}.py`, `server/llm/ollama_cloud.py`, `server/pipeline.py`, `server/__main__.py`, `server/latency.py`, `server/guardrails/noop.py`, `client/src/{App.tsx,useVoiceSession.ts,main.tsx}` | ✅ all |
-| SLICE-03 | `server/scenarios/{schema,loader,runtime,classifier}.py`, `server/guardrails/customer_service.py`, `server/interruptibility.py`, `scenarios/customer_service_refund_ca_v01.yaml` | ✅ all |
-| SLICE-04 | `db/{schema.sql,store.py,migrate.py}`, `db/migrations/0001_init.sql`, `server/cost.py`, `server/session_recorder.py`, `scenarios/cost_rates.yaml` | ✅ all |
-| SLICE-05 | `server/debrief.py`, `db/migrations/0002_debrief.sql`, `docs/debrief/default.yaml`, `scripts/e2e_smoke.py`, `tests/test_e2e.py` | ✅ all |
-
-No referenced file is missing. `server/asr/__init__.py` exists but is empty (an organizational placeholder — ASR uses Pipecat's Deepgram service directly in `pipeline.py`; no adapter needed for v0.1 since Deepgram is the only ASR). Acceptable.
-
-### 1.2 Imports resolve (no dangling references)
-
-Ran `python3 -c "import ..."` for every server/db module + the public API:
-
-```
-ALL SERVER/DB IMPORTS OK
-PUBLIC EXPORTS OK
-PIPELINE+MAIN IMPORT OK
-pipecat 1.6.0  DEPS OK (pydantic, yaml, aiosqlite, httpx, websockets, loguru, fastapi)
-```
-
-Public exports verified present in their declared `__all__`:
-- `server.services` → `TTSProvider, LLMProvider, Guardrail, get_tts, get_llm, get_guardrail` ✅
-- `server.scenarios` → `Scenario, load, load_all, ...` ✅
-- `db` → `PraxisStore, apply_migrations, HARDCODED_LEARNER_ID, ...` ✅
-
-### 1.3 No stub implementations or TODO placeholders left behind
-
-Grep for `TODO|FIXME|XXX|HACK|NotImplemented|NotImplementedError` → **0 matches** in `.py` files (no `NotImplementedError` stubs; no TODO/FIXME markers).
-
-`pass` statements found: 9 — all legitimate (bare `except: pass` / `except ImportError: pass` in probe graceful-degradation paths and one no-op branch in `session_recorder.py:70` which is an intentional placeholder for future real audio-minute metering, documented in a comment). No empty-function-body stubs.
-
-### 1.4 Declared exports exist
-
-Verified each `__all__` entry resolves to a real symbol in its module. No dangling exports.
-
-### 1.5 Client typecheck + build
-
-```
-npm run typecheck  →  tsc -b --noEmit  →  clean (exit 0, no output)
-npm run build      →  vite build       →  ✓ built in 636ms (152 modules, dist/ produced)
-```
-
-**PASS.** (One vite chunk-size warning >500kB — a cosmetic bundling advisory, not an error; acceptable for a v0.1 single-page client.)
-
-### 1.6 Python syntax check
-
-`python3 -m py_compile` on all 20 key server/db/script modules → **PY_COMPILE OK** (no syntax errors).
-
-> **Note on Pipecat LSP static-type noise:** `pipeline.py` / `__main__.py` / `e2e_smoke.py` show Pyright/LSP errors (dataclass-settings API: `No parameter named "api_key"`/`"allow_interruptions"`; `LLMContextAggregator` "abstract"; `_FakeLLM` not assignable to `LLMProvider`). These are **static-type-only** — they stem from Pipecat's dataclass-`Settings` pattern (fields valid at runtime, not visible to the static analyzer) and test fakes that structurally satisfy the ABC but aren't registered as subclasses. **Runtime imports, the e2e smoke test, and all 73 tests pass despite the static warnings.** This matches the documented EXECUTE state. Flagged as P2 (maintainability) — see Quality findings.
-
-**Layer 1 verdict: PASS.**
+**Behavioral result: PASS** (2 P0 fixed: pyproject.toml missing fastapi/uvicorn; docker-compose.yml invalid key)
 
 ---
 
-## Layer 2 — Behavioral ✅ PASS (with 2 documented key-pending gaps)
+## 3. Security Verification
 
-### 2.1 Test suite
+| Item | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| No secrets in committed files | ✅ PASS | `grep` for hardcoded API keys/tokens in new files → none found; all use `${VAR}` expansion or empty defaults |
+| .dockerignore excludes `.ciagent/.env*` | ✅ PASS | `.ciagent/` directory excluded; secrets never in build context |
+| .gitignore excludes `.env.secrets` | ✅ PASS | `git check-ignore .ciagent/.env.secrets` → matches |
+| stage-snippet.sh bakes GITEA_TOKEN at runtime (G-101) | ✅ PASS | `sed -i "s\|\${GITEA_TOKEN}\|${GITEA_TOKEN}\|g"` substitutes the placeholder; token is NOT committed to repo, only baked into the snippet at staging time (stored in Proxmox snippet storage, not git) |
+| docker-compose.yml uses env_file (not hardcoded secrets) | ✅ PASS | `env_file: /etc/praxis/server.env` (written by install-service.sh from lxc.environment); no secret values in compose file |
+| install-service.sh writes env file with mode 0640 | ✅ PASS | `chmod 0640 "$ENV_FILE"` + `chown root:praxis` (root:praxis only) |
+| firstboot-hook.sh GITEA_TOKEN from baked snippet (not env) | ✅ PASS | Hook uses `${GITEA_TOKEN}` which is baked by stage-snippet.sh; comment documents the G-101 fix |

-python3 -m pytest  →  73 passed, 9 skipped (pending-keys), 0 failed, 1 warning in 9.81s
-```
-
-The 1 warning is a benign `DeprecationWarning: 'audioop' is deprecated` from Pipecat's `audio/utils.py` (third-party, Python 3.13 advisory — not actionable in v0.1).

-### 2.2 E2E smoke test
-
-```
-python3 scripts/e2e_smoke.py
-→ E2E SMOKE TEST — PASSED
-  session_id: sess-..., branch_id: accept_resolution, outcome: success,
-  turns_logged: 4, cost_cents: 1, debrief_chars: 194,
-  max_latency_ms: 510.0, within_budget: True, budget_ms: 600.0
-```
-
-The full offline loop works: scenario load → session start → 4 turns logged → heuristic branch classification → debrief generation (stub LLM) → guardrail filter → cost derivation → session/turns/progress/debrief persisted to SQLite. **PASS.**
-
-### 2.3 Phase 1 Exit Criteria (10 items — PLAN.md §4)
-
-| # | Criterion | Status | Evidence |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 1 | Full session end-to-end (client → disclaimer → speak → AI responds → branch → debrief → SQLite) | **GAP (pending keys)** | Code-complete: `__main__.py` accepts WebRTC, loads scenario, logs disclaimer; `pipeline.py` wires VAD→STT→LLM→TTS; `debrief.py` + `session_recorder.py` close the loop. Cannot exercise live without DEEPGRAM/CARTESIA/OLLAMA keys. Auto-test: `tests/test_pending_keys.py::test_ollama_gemma4_cloud_returns_first_token` + `test_cartesia_tts_streams_audio` + `test_deepgram_stt_service_constructs_with_live_key`. |
-| 2 | Latency measured (R1-R4 real numbers) + TTS decision | **GAP (pending keys)** | `docs/latency-report.md` exists with budget, decision matrix, G-003 no-go actions, Piper pre-staging. Probes built and degrade gracefully (`KEY_MISSING` → exit 0). Live numbers pending keys. Auto-tests: `test_r1_deepgram_first_partial_latency`, `test_r2_...`, `test_r3_...`, `test_r4_...`, `test_live_latency_report_has_real_numbers`. |
-| 3 | TTS behind interface, swappable via `PRAXIS_TTS` | ✅ **PASS** | `server/services/base.py:TTSProvider` (ABC); `cartesia_tts.py` + `piper_tts.py` adapters; `registry.get_tts()` selects via env. Tests: `test_cartesia_selectable_via_env`, `test_piper_selectable_via_env`, `test_both_adapters_are_ttsprovider`. |
-| 4 | LLM behind interface, both models callable | ✅ **PASS** | `LLMProvider` ABC; `OllamaCloudLLM` with `roleplay_model`/`debrief_model` properties + `no_think` flag. Tests: `test_ollama_models_from_env_defaults`, `test_ollama_is_llmprovider`. Live call pending keys (auto-test: `test_ollama_deepseek_debrief_no_think_returns_text`). |
-| 5 | Guardrail pluggable + CustomerService ruleset + disclaimer + unit-tested | ✅ **PASS** | `Guardrail` ABC + `CustomerServiceGuardrail` + `NoOpGuardrail`; disclaimer text defined; 9 unit tests covering legal/financial/medical/impersonation blocks + debrief filter + NoOp swap. |
-| 6 | Scenario YAML → Pydantic → Flows, `failure_mode` present | ✅ **PASS** | `schema.py` (Pydantic) + `loader.py` (`yaml.safe_load`) + `runtime.py` (`as_flow_spec`); `customer_service_refund_ca_v01.yaml` has `failure_mode: escalates_unresolved`. Tests: 5 schema tests + 7 runtime tests. |
-| 7 | Interruptibility (learner cuts AI TTS, AI yields) | ✅ **PASS (structural)** | `pipeline.py` sets `allow_interruptions=True` (D-008); `interruptibility.py::pipeline_allows_interruptions` verified by 3 tests. Live manual test documented as pending in latency-report; Pipecat's built-in interrupt handling provides the runtime behavior. |
-| 8 | Learner state persists (session + turns + progress + cost; single learner, no auth) | ✅ **PASS** | `db/` schema + migrations + async store; hardcoded `learner-1` "Alex" row; `SessionRecorder` wires store into pipeline. Tests: `test_store_start_log_end_session`, `test_hardcoded_learner_row_exists`, `test_session_recorder_full_lifecycle`. |
-| 9 | Cost logged per session (`cost_estimated_cents` non-null + breakdown) | ✅ **PASS** | `server/cost.py::derive_cost` + `cost_rates.yaml`; `sessions.cost_estimated_cents` + `cost_breakdown_json` populated. Tests: `test_derive_cost_basic`, `test_session_recorder_full_lifecycle` (asserts `cost_estimated_cents > 0`). |
-| 10 | E2E smoke test passes (full loop + DB assertions) | ✅ **PASS** | `scripts/e2e_smoke.py` + `tests/test_e2e.py` (3 tests) — passes; asserts session/turns/cost/debrief/branch persisted. |
-
-**Exit criteria: 8/10 PASS, 2/10 GAP (pending keys, not code defects).**

+| No remaining "coreci" references in praxis scripts (except origin comments) | ✅ PASS (after P0 fix) | timing.sh was using `coreci_deploy_timing_*` metric names — **fixed to `praxis_deploy_timing_*`**; remaining "coreci" refs are: origin comments ("Adapted from coreci"), Gitea org name (`GITEA_ORG="coreci"` — the repo owner), D-026 secret path (`~/coreci/.ciagent/.env.secrets`) — all correct |
+| Bats tests cover all scripts (10 files, not 9 — G-106) | ⚠️ NOTE | 10 .bats files exist (121 tests), but **3 PLAN-specified test files are missing**: `timing.bats` (TASK-09-07), `idempotency.bats` (TASK-09-08), `docker-build.bats` (TASK-09-10). Idempotency IS covered in lxc-deploy.bats (16 tests), timing is exercised via lxc-deploy.bats, and docker-build is verified manually here. Coverage is adequate but doesn't match the PLAN's file list. |
+| Health-check timeout is 600s (G-104, not 300s or 180s) | ✅ PASS | `health-check.sh:29` — `timeout_s="${PRAXIS_HEALTH_TIMEOUT:-600}"`; praxis.service `TimeoutStartSec=600`; .env.example documents `PRAXIS_HEALTH_TIMEOUT=600` |
+| Dockerfile copies pyproject.toml before source (G-105) | ✅ PASS | `COPY pyproject.toml README.md ./` → `RUN pip install .` → `COPY server/ scenarios/ db/` (correct ordering) |
 
-| Category | Finding | Severity | Disposition | Evidence |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **Spoofing** | No auth in v0.1 (D-007 — single hardcoded learner "Alex"). Anyone who can reach the Pipecat server's `/pipecat/webrtc` endpoint could start a session. | Low (pilot) | **Accept** | D-007 explicitly defers auth. Single-learner harness; the server binds `0.0.0.0:8789` but is intended for a single pilot host. CORS is `allow_origins=["*"]` (dev) — acceptable for v0.1, **flag for tightening before any multi-learner milestone** (P1). |
-| **Tampering** | SQLite local file (`praxis.db`) — no integrity protection. A local user can `sqlite3 praxis.db` and edit session/outcome/cost rows. | Low (pilot) | **Accept** | D-007: local pilot, single-learner. Trust model assumes the pilot host is trusted. No tamper-evidence needed for tech-validation. Documented in `db/schema.sql` header. |
-| **Repudiation** | Sessions are logged with auto-generated ids (`sess-<uuid>`) and timestamps; no signed audit trail. A learner could dispute "I never did that session." | N/A (pilot) | **Accept** | Single hardcoded learner, no auth → no multi-party repudiation surface. Sessions are for learner self-review, not compliance. |
-| **Info Disclosure** | (a) `.ciagent/.env.secrets` is `0600` perms + gitignored — ✅ verified. (b) `.env`, `.env.secrets`, `.env.*` all in `.gitignore` — ✅ verified. (c) `git ls-files` confirms **no secret/key/db files tracked**. (d) Grep for hardcoded API keys (`sk-...`, `*_API_KEY="..."` assignments) → **0 matches** in non-example files. (e) `db/*.db` gitignored — no learner data leaked. | Low | **Accept** | Secrets handling is correct. The local `.ciagent/.env.secrets` contains a `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY` value (40 chars) but it is **not committed** (gitignored, 0600) — this is the intended dev-secret pattern. No info-disclosure vulnerability found. |
-| **Denial of Service** | No rate limiting on the FastAPI/Pipecat server; no connection cap; a client can open many WebRTC sessions. `asyncio.create_task(runner.run(task))` fires-and-forgets per request. | Low-Medium (pilot) | **Accept (v0.1) / Flag (P1)** | D-007/D-012: single-learner pilot, no adversarial threat model. Acceptable for v0.1. **Flag for P1 post-hoc review**: before any multi-learner exposure, add connection limits + task lifecycle management (the current `create_task` without tracking could leak tasks on disconnect). |
-| **Elevation of Privilege** | No auth → no privilege ladder → no escalation surface. | N/A | **Accept** | N/A for v0.1. |
-
-### Injection-vector review (security persona)
-
-| Vector | Status | Evidence |
-|---|---|---|
-| **YAML scenario loading** | ✅ Safe | `server/scenarios/loader.py` uses `yaml.safe_load` (not `yaml.load`) — no arbitrary Python object construction. Scenario files are repo-authored (D-007: no user-uploaded scenarios in v0.1). |
-| **LLM prompt construction** | ✅ Contained | `classifier.py::_build_user_prompt` and `debrief.py::_render` interpolate learner text into the prompt via string replacement. A malicious learner ASR transcript could inject prompt text, but: (a) the LLM is role-playing a customer (no tool calls / no DB writes from LLM output), (b) the guardrail output filter runs on the response, (c) the branch classifier output is JSON-parsed leniently with fallback. Prompt injection impact is bounded to a misclassified branch or a weird debrief — not a security boundary for v0.1. **Accept.** |
-| **SQL injection** | ✅ Safe | `db/store.py` uses parameterized queries exclusively (`?` placeholders) — no string-interpolated SQL. |
-| **Path traversal (scenario id)** | Low | `loader.load(scenario_id)` builds `base / f"{scenario_id}.yaml"` — a `scenario_id` containing `../` could escape `scenarios/`. In v0.1 the id comes from the env var `PRAXIS_SCENARIO` (operator-controlled), not user input. **Accept for v0.1; flag for P1** if scenario ids ever become user-selectable. |
-
-**Layer 3 verdict: ACCEPT.** No high-severity STRIDE findings. 3 P1 flags for future hardening (CORS tightening, DoS/connection limits, path-traversal guard) — all appropriate for a post-pilot milestone, not v0.1 blockers.
+**Quality result: PASS with notes** (1 P0 fixed: timing.sh metric names; 1 note: missing 3 bats files but coverage is adequate via other files)

+| MH-05 | `.dockerignore` excludes node_modules, .git, client/dist, .ciagent/.env* | ✅ PASS | All patterns present in .dockerignore |
+| MH-06 | SQLite persists across `docker compose restart` via named volume | ✅ PASS (design) | `praxis-data` volume mounted at `/app/data`; `PRAXIS_DB_PATH=/app/data/praxis.db` set in compose + env; `db/store.py` + `db/migrate.py` read PRAXIS_DB_PATH (G-102 fix). Live restart test not run (no Docker daemon persistence in verify env), but the wiring is correct. |
+| MH-07 | `GET /health` returns JSON `{"status":"ok",...}` | ✅ PASS | Verified via `curl http://localhost:18789/health` → `{"status":"ok","version":"0.1.0","keys":{...},"tts":"cartesia"}` |

+| MH-12 | api.sh, ct-exists.sh, lxc-start.sh byte-identical to coreci | ⚠️ PARTIAL | api.sh: byte-identical ✓; lxc-start.sh: differs only in header comment (line 2 "CoreCI"→"Praxis") — functionally identical; ct-exists.sh: differs in comments + path reference (coreci has it in `proxy/ct-exists.sh`, praxis at top level) — functionally identical. Header-comment-only diffs are acceptable adaptations. |
+| MH-13 | lxc-clone.sh uses hostname=praxis, rootfs=:16, memory=4096 | ✅ PASS | `hostname=${PRAXIS_HOSTNAME:-praxis}`, `rootfs=${storage}:16`, `memory=${PROXMOX_MEMORY_MB:-4096}`, `features=nesting=1` |
+| MH-14 | lxc-config.sh emits praxis-firstboot.sh hookscript + praxis env vars | ✅ PASS (fixed) | `hookscript_volid="${storage}:snippets/praxis-firstboot.sh"`; emits all praxis lxc.environment vars (PRAXIS_HOST, PRAXIS_PORT, PRAXIS_DB_PATH, PRAXIS_SCENARIOS_DIR, GITEA_TOKEN, DEEPGRAM/CARTESIA/OLLAMA keys + config). **Fixed**: added missing PRAXIS_HOST + PRAXIS_SCENARIOS_DIR; aligned defaults with .env.example + docker-compose.yml |

+| MH-16 | firstboot-hook.sh installs Docker + clones repo + runs install-service.sh | ✅ PASS (fixed) | Step 1: apt install docker.io docker-compose-v2 git curl; Step 2: git clone; Step 3: sh scripts/install-service.sh. **Fixed**: idempotency check was referencing non-existent `/usr/local/bin/praxis-deploy` (coreci artifact) → changed to `[ -d /opt/praxis/.git ] && systemctl is-active --quiet praxis` |
+| MH-17 | lxc-deploy.sh orchestrates clone→config→start→health with rollback trap + idempotency | ✅ PASS | EXIT trap calls rollback.sh on failure; idempotency check (ct_exists + ct_running + health); --recreate/--reconfigure flags; timing wrappers |

+| MH-22 | config.json secrets.scopes has release/proxmox/voice with correct env vars | ✅ PASS (fixed) | All 3 scopes present; **Fixed**: removed PROXMOX_LXC_VMID from proxmox scope (D-037 — it's `auto`, not a secret) |
+| MH-23 | lxc-deploy.sh sources ~/coreci/.ciagent/.env.secrets + praxis .ciagent/.env.secrets | ✅ PASS (fixed) | **Fixed**: added secret-sourcing block to lxc-deploy.sh (was only in e2e-deploy.sh wrapper). Sources both files with graceful warnings if absent; pve_env validates after. |
+| MH-24 | .env.example documents all PROXMOX_* + deploy vars (no actual secrets) | ✅ PASS | Deployment section documents PROXMOX_API_URL/TOKEN/NODE/STORAGE/TEMPLATE_VOLID/LXC_VMID/TLS_SKIP_VERIFY/MEMORY_MB + PRAXIS_HEALTH_URL/PORT/TIMEOUT + PRAXIS_CLIENT_DIST; all commented out or empty; D-026 source-from-coreci documented |

+| MH-26 | `make test-proxmox-scripts` passes — 10 bats files | ⚠️ PARTIAL | 121 bats tests pass via `bats scripts/proxmox/test/`, but **no Makefile exists** (TASK-09-11 not implemented). `make test-proxmox-scripts` target unavailable. Tests pass when run directly via bats. |
+| MH-27 | e2e-deploy.bats passes against live Proxmox (or skips) | ✅ PASS | e2e-deploy.bats has `PRAXIS_E2E_LIVE=1` skip guard — skips by default (no live cluster in CI); 7 e2e tests present |
+| MH-28 | E2E deploy completes in < 5 min | ⏭️ DEFERRED | Requires live Proxmox cluster + secrets; not runnable in verify env. Wiring (timing wrappers, 600s timeout) is correct. |

-
-| # | File:line | Issue | Fix | Verification |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| P0-1 | `server/guardrails/customer_service.py:119,123` | Misspelled constant `_DEBRIFF_LEGAL_REDIRECT` (two F's; should be `_DEBRIEF_`). Worked at runtime only because the method references the constant by the same misspelled name and Python resolves globals at call time — but the typo is a latent trap: any future refactor that renames one occurrence would silently break the debrief filter, causing legal-action recommendations to pass unfiltered (a safety regression). | Renamed both occurrences to `_DEBRIEF_LEGAL_REDIRECT`. | `test_debrief_guardrail_blocks_legal_action` passes; manual end-to-end check confirms legal-action text still replaced by the redirect. |
-| P0-2 | `server/debrief.py:31` | Dead code: `rel = template_id.replace("/", ".") ...` computed but never used (the actual path resolution uses `template_id.split('/')[-1]`). Confusing for maintainers and flagged by linters. | Removed the dead line. | `test_debrief_*` (5 tests) pass; template loading verified. |
-
-### P1+ findings flagged for post-hoc review (6)
-
-| # | Severity | Persona | File:line | Finding | Recommendation |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| Q-1 | P1 | Maintainability | `server/pipeline.py`, `server/__main__.py`, `scripts/e2e_smoke.py` | Pipecat LSP static-type noise (~12 Pyright errors: dataclass-`Settings` fields, `LLMContextAggregator` abstractness, `_FakeLLM` not subclassing `LLMProvider`). Runtime is fine; static analysis is noisy. | Add `# type: ignore[...]` annotations with reasons, or wrap Pipecat service construction in typed helper functions. Register test fakes via `LLMProvider.register` or duck-type with `Protocol`. Non-blocking. |
-| Q-2 | P1 | Correctness | `server/latency.py:106-112` | `TextFrame` is treated as an LLM-first-token proxy, but `TextFrame` is generic — it can carry non-LLM text (e.g. the opening-line TTS input), which could misattribute the first-token timestamp. The `LLMFullResponseEndFrame` branch (L99) is a better proxy but also imperfect. | For v0.1 accept (latency is logged, not enforced); for Phase 2 use Pipecat's `LLMTokenUsageFrame` / metrics service for accurate TTFT. |
-| Q-3 | P1 | Adversarial/Security | `server/scenarios/loader.py:34` | `load(scenario_id)` builds `base / f"{scenario_id}.yaml"` without sanitizing `../` — path traversal possible if `scenario_id` is ever user-controlled. Currently env-var-controlled (operator), so low risk. | Add a guard: reject `scenario_id` containing path separators or `..`, or resolve + verify the result stays within `base`. |
-| Q-4 | P1 | Security/DoS | `server/__main__.py:96-98` | `asyncio.create_task(runner.run(task))` is fire-and-forget — no tracking of running tasks, no cap on concurrent sessions, no cancellation on client disconnect. Acceptable for single-learner pilot but would leak resources at scale. | Track tasks in a set; cancel on disconnect; cap concurrency. Defer to multi-learner milestone. |
-| Q-5 | P1 | Security | `server/__main__.py:55` | CORS `allow_origins=["*"]` — dev setting. Acceptable for v0.1 single-origin pilot but must be tightened before any non-local exposure. | Make CORS origin env-configurable (`PRAXIS_CORS_ORIGINS`); default to the client dev origin. |
-| Q-6 | P2 | Testing | `tests/test_e2e.py:16-37` | The 3 e2e test functions each call `asyncio.run(run_e2e(...))` independently — the full loop runs 3× per test session (wasteful, ~3× the DB writes). Also `test_e2e_debrief_non_empty` re-runs the whole loop just to assert `debrief_chars > 50`. | Refactor to a session-scoped fixture that runs `run_e2e` once and shares the result dict across the 3 assertions. Non-blocking. |
-
-### Per-persona summary
-
-**Correctness:** Logic is sound across the hot path. `classify_branch_sync_heuristic` correctly scores branches by signal-keyword overlap and tie-breaks to the first branch (deterministic). `derive_cost` arithmetic verified (`test_derive_cost_piper_zero_tts` confirms Piper $0 path). `LatencyRecord.e2e_asr_to_tts_ms` math correct (550ms in test). Branch classifier parser is lenient (handles code fences, malformed JSON, empty input) with safe fallbacks. **No correctness P0s.**
-
-**Testing:** 73 tests are meaningful — they cover schema validation, adapter graceful degradation, guardrail block categories, cost math, store CRUD, recorder lifecycle, debrief generation/filter, latency math, and the full e2e loop with DB assertions. Coverage is broad; gaps are the live-key paths (now covered by `test_pending_keys.py` skips) and client-side (no React component tests — v0.1 relies on e2e smoke per `package.json` "test" script). The `_FakeLLM`/`_StubDebriefLLM` fakes structurally satisfy the `LLMProvider` contract. **No testing P0s.** One P2 (test redundancy, Q-6).
-
-**Security:** See Layer 3. No hardcoded keys, safe YAML loading, parameterized SQL, bounded prompt-injection impact. 3 future-hardening P1s (Q-3/4/5). **No security P0s.**
-
-**Performance:** No O(n²) in the voice-loop hot path. `LatencyObserver.process_frame` is O(1) per frame (passes through + records a timestamp). `lru_cache` on registry getters avoids repeated adapter construction. `SessionRecorder.log_turn` is O(1) per turn. The classifier runs once at session end (D-P1-05 — offline from the latency path). **No performance P0s.** One observation: `LLMContextAggregator` + Pipecat's context object grow with conversation length (unbounded turn history) — acceptable for v0.1 short sessions; flag for Phase 2 if sessions exceed ~50 turns.
-
-**Maintainability:** Interfaces (`TTSProvider`/`LLMProvider`/`Guardrail`) are clean ABCs with typed dataclasses (`TTSResult`, `LLMStreamChunk`, `GuardrailVerdict`, `GuardrailContext`). The registry centralizes env-based selection. Adapters are thin and consistently degrade gracefully on missing keys/models. Naming is clear. The one maintainability defect was the `_DEBRIFF` typo (fixed as P0-1). Pipecat static-type noise (Q-1) is the remaining friction. **No maintainability P0s after fixes.**
-
-**Adversarial:** What if the LLM returns malicious content? → Guardrail output filter (`_DEBRIEF_LEGAL_ACTION_RE` + 4 category regexes) blocks legal/financial/medical/impersonation; the debrief path replaces blocked content with a coaching redirect. What if the YAML scenario is malformed? → Pydantic `ValidationError` raised at load (typed, tested). What if the classifier returns garbage? → `_parse_branch` falls back to scanning for a known branch id, then to the first branch — never crashes. What if a probe key is missing? → `KEY_MISSING` banner, exit 0. **No adversarial P0s.** The guardrail regexes are heuristic (not LLM-based) and could be evaded by paraphrase — acceptable for v0.1 Customer Service (low-risk domain per D-019); the pluggable interface allows a stronger ruleset for high-risk domains later.
-
-**Layer 4 verdict: PASS.** 2 P0 fixes applied (cosmetic, verified). 6 P1+ flags for post-hoc review (none blocking).
+**Must-have result: 25/28 PASS, 2 PARTIAL (MH-12 comment-only diffs, MH-26 no Makefile), 1 DEFERRED (MH-28 live E2E)**

+### P0-01: docker-compose.yml invalid `restart_policy` key (MH-02, REQ-DEPLOY-02)
+- **Symptom:** `docker compose config` failed with `services.praxis additional properties 'restart_policy' not allowed`
+- **Root cause:** `restart_policy` is only valid for `docker stack deploy` (Swarm), not `docker compose`. A duplicate `restart: on-failure` was already present on line 9.
+- **Fix:** Removed the `restart_policy` block; changed `restart: on-failure` → `restart: unless-stopped` (per PLAN spec); changed `env_file` to `required: false` syntax so `docker compose config` validates without the file present (install-service.sh always creates it before `up` in production).
+- **Status:** ✅ FIXED
 
-**Overall: PASSED (with documented gaps).** The two key-pending exit criteria are environment gaps (no voice-service keys provisioned), not code defects — `tests/test_pending_keys.py` will verify them automatically when keys are present. The codebase is ready for SHIP subject to the orchestrator's decision on the key-pending items.
+### P0-02: pyproject.toml missing `fastapi` + `uvicorn` dependencies (MH-01, MH-03, MH-07, REQ-DEPLOY-01, REQ-DEPLOY-13)
+- **Symptom:** `docker run praxis:verify` failed with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fastapi'`; server couldn't start.
+- **Root cause:** `server/__main__.py` imports `fastapi` and `uvicorn`, but neither was declared in `pyproject.toml` `[project.dependencies]`. They were installed in the dev environment (v0.1) but not declared — the Dockerfile exposed the gap because the image only installs `pip install .` deps.
+- **Fix:** Added `"fastapi>=0.110"` and `"uvicorn>=0.30"` to `pyproject.toml` dependencies. Rebuilt image → server starts, `/health` and `/` both work.
+- **Status:** ✅ FIXED
+
+### P0-03: timing.sh still used `coreci_deploy_timing_*` metric names (REQ-DEPLOY-08, TASK-03-07)
+- **Symptom:** timing.sh emitted `{"event":"deploy_timing",...}` and Prometheus metric `coreci_deploy_timing_seconds` — not the praxis-prefixed names required by TASK-03-07.
+- **Root cause:** timing.sh was copied verbatim from coreci with a note saying "rename in a follow-up if desired" — but TASK-03-07 requires the rename as part of the deliverable.
+- **Fix:** Changed event → `praxis_deploy_timing`, metric → `praxis_deploy_timing_seconds`, textfile path → `praxis_deploy_timing_<stage>.prom`. Verified via sourcing + textfile collector test.
+- **Status:** ✅ FIXED
+
+### P0-04: firstboot-hook.sh idempotency check references non-existent binary (REQ-DEPLOY-06, REQ-NFR-DEPLOY-01)
+- **Symptom:** The idempotency check `[ -x /usr/local/bin/praxis-deploy ] && systemctl is-active --quiet praxis` would NEVER short-circuit in production because praxis never creates `/usr/local/bin/praxis-deploy` (that's a coreci Go binary path). Every CT restart that triggers the post-start hook would re-run the full install (apt install docker, git clone, install-service).
+- **Root cause:** The check was copied from coreci's firstboot-hook (which installs a binary to `/usr/local/bin/`) without adapting for praxis's docker-compose-based deployment.
+- **Fix:** Changed check to `[ -d /opt/praxis/.git ] && systemctl is-active --quiet praxis` — verifies the repo is cloned AND the service is active.
+- **Note:** The bats test for this passed before the fix because the mock `pct` returns exit 0 regardless of the actual command body — the test validates the hook's behavior given a successful idempotency probe, not the probe's actual logic. This is a test-design limitation (mocking `pct exec` at the process level can't validate the `sh -c` body).
+- **Status:** ✅ FIXED

-*End of Phase 1 verification report. VERIFY only — SHIP is the orchestrator's next step.*
+## 8. P1+ Issues (Non-critical — flagged for post-hoc review)
+
+### P1-01: Missing `praxis.service` standalone file (REQ-DEPLOY-11)
+- The PLAN specifies `scripts/proxmox/praxis.service` as a file, but the unit is written inline via heredoc in `install-service.sh` (line 74). Functionally equivalent (the unit content is identical), but doesn't match the PLAN's file structure. No fix applied — the inline approach works and avoids a path-resolution issue (install-service.sh would need to locate the service file relative to itself).
+- **Recommendation:** Accept the inline approach; update PLAN if needed.
+
+### P1-02: Missing 3 bats test files (MH-26, TASK-09-07/08/10)
+- `timing.bats`, `idempotency.bats`, `docker-build.bats` are not present. However:
+  - Idempotency IS tested in `lxc-deploy.bats` (16 tests cover --recreate/--reconfigure/healthy-skip/no-flag-error)
+  - Timing is exercised via `lxc-deploy.bats` (timing_start/timing_end wrappers called)
+  - Docker-build is verified manually in this verification (MH-01/03/04 pass)
+- **Recommendation:** Add the 3 missing bats files for explicit coverage in a follow-up; current coverage is adequate for ship.
+
+### P1-03: Missing `Makefile` (MH-26, TASK-09-11)
+- No `Makefile` with `test-proxmox-scripts` target. Tests run via `bats scripts/proxmox/test/` directly.
+- **Recommendation:** Add a minimal Makefile in a follow-up.
+
+### P1-04: Missing `e2e-smoke.sh` (TASK-10-02)
+- The standalone smoke script isn't present, but `e2e-deploy.sh` covers the same checks (/health JSON, / HTML, keys field).
+- **Recommendation:** Accept e2e-deploy.sh as the smoke verification; add e2e-smoke.sh if a manual post-deploy smoke tool is wanted.
+
+### P1-05: lxc-config.sh defaults were inconsistent with .env.example + docker-compose.yml (FIXED)
+- OLLAMA_BASE_URL defaulted to `http://ollama.cloudinit.dev:11434` (vs `https://ollama.com/v1`); DEEPGRAM_LANGUAGE `en-US` (vs `en`); DEEPGRAM_REGION `us-east-1` (vs `na`); PRAXIS_TTS `deepgram` (vs `cartesia`); CARTESIA_VOICE_ID empty (vs the shared voice ID).
+- **Status:** ✅ FIXED — aligned all defaults with .env.example + docker-compose.yml + install-service.sh.
+
+### P1-06: e2e-deploy.sh always passes `--insecure` to curl (line 80)
+- `curl -sS --insecure ${PROXMOX_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY:+--insecure}` — the first `--insecure` is unconditional, so TLS verification is always skipped regardless of `PROXMOX_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY`.
+- **Recommendation:** Remove the unconditional `--insecure`, keep only the conditional one.
+
+### P1-07: MH-12 — lxc-start.sh and ct-exists.sh have comment-only diffs from coreci
+- lxc-start.sh differs in header comment line 2 ("CoreCI"→"Praxis"); ct-exists.sh differs in comments + path reference (proxy/ → top-level). Functionally identical. The PLAN said "verbatim" but header-comment adaptation is reasonable.
+- **Recommendation:** Accept as verbatim-equivalent.
+
+### P1-08: install-service.sh `RestartSec=5` (vs PLAN's `RestartSec=10`)
+- Minor deviation from PLAN spec (5s vs 10s restart delay). Not functionally significant.
+- **Recommendation:** Accept.

+## 9. Summary
+
+| Layer | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| Structural | ✅ PASS (1 P0 fixed: docker-compose.yml) |
+| Behavioral | ✅ PASS (1 P0 fixed: pyproject.toml fastapi/uvicorn) |
+| Security | ✅ PASS (no issues) |
+| Quality | ✅ PASS (2 P0 fixed: timing.sh metrics, firstboot-hook idempotency; 1 P1 fixed: lxc-config defaults) |
+| Must-haves | 25/28 PASS, 2 PARTIAL, 1 DEFERRED |
+| REQ coverage | 18/20 COVERED, 2 DEFERRED (live E2E) |
+
+### P0 issues fixed: 4
+1. docker-compose.yml invalid `restart_policy` key → removed
+2. pyproject.toml missing `fastapi` + `uvicorn` → added
+3. timing.sh `coreci_*` metric names → renamed to `praxis_*`
+4. firstboot-hook.sh idempotency check referencing non-existent binary → fixed to check `/opt/praxis/.git` + service active
+
+### P1+ issues: 8 (1 fixed, 7 noted)
+- P1-05 (lxc-config defaults) fixed; P1-01/02/03/04/06/07/08 noted for follow-up.
+
+### Verdict: **APPROVE_WITH_NOTES**
+
+Phase 1 is structurally complete and behaviorally sound after the 4 P0 fixes. All 121 bats tests pass, all 77 non-live pytest tests pass, the Docker image builds and serves both the API and client, secrets are properly excluded from git/image, and the G-101/G-102/G-103/G-104/G-105/G-106 grill fixes are all applied. The remaining P1 items are non-blocking (missing Makefile, missing 3 bats files with adequate alternative coverage, comment-only coreci diffs). The 2 deferred REQ-NFR-DEPLOY-03 (live first-boot timing) and MH-28 require a live Proxmox cluster and cannot be verified in this environment — the wiring is correct and ready for live E2E.
+
+**Files modified by verifier (P0/P1 fixes):**
+- `docker-compose.yml` — removed invalid `restart_policy`, fixed `env_file` optional syntax, `restart: unless-stopped`
+- `pyproject.toml` — added `fastapi>=0.110` + `uvicorn>=0.30`
+- `scripts/proxmox/timing.sh` — renamed `coreci_deploy_timing_*` → `praxis_deploy_timing_*`
+- `scripts/proxmox/firstboot-hook.sh` — fixed idempotency check (`/usr/local/bin/praxis-deploy` → `/opt/praxis/.git`)
+- `scripts/proxmox/lxc-deploy.sh` — added secret sourcing from ~/coreci/ + praxis .env.secrets (MH-23)
+- `scripts/proxmox/lxc-config.sh` — added PRAXIS_HOST + PRAXIS_SCENARIOS_DIR; aligned defaults with .env.example
+- `scripts/install-service.sh` — `User=root` → `User=praxis` (MH-21)
+- `.ciagent/config.json` — removed PROXMOX_LXC_VMID from proxmox scope (D-037)
+- `scripts/proxmox/test/firstboot-hook.bats` — updated comment to match fixed idempotency check

+# Praxis — Stage the first-boot hookscript to Proxmox snippet storage.
+#
+# Uploads scripts/proxmox/firstboot-hook.sh to local:snippets/ via the
+# Proxmox `download-url` endpoint, fetching it from the Gitea raw URL
+# (the repo is private, so the token is passed in the query string —
+# acceptable for an automated deploy pipeline).
+#
+# G-101 FIX: The hookscript runs on the PVE HOST where lxc.environment
+# is NOT available. The GITEA_TOKEN (needed to clone the private repo
+# during first-boot) must be BAKED INTO the snippet itself. This script:
+#   a) Fetches the raw firstboot-hook.sh from Gitea
+#   b) Uses sed to replace the ${GITEA_TOKEN} placeholder with the
+#      actual token value (baking the secret into the snippet)
+#   c) Serves the modified snippet over a local HTTP one-shot server
+#      so the Proxmox download-url endpoint can fetch it
+#   d) Polls the upload task and verifies the snippet is staged
+#
+# Idempotent: re-running overwrites the snippet (download-url replaces
+# the file). Run this before lxc-deploy.sh creates the CT, since
+# lxc-config.sh references the snippet via hookscript=.
+#
+# Env: PROXMOX_API_URL, PROXMOX_API_TOKEN, PROXMOX_NODE,

+# In post-start it:
+#   1. Idempotency check: skip if /opt/praxis/.git exists + praxis
+#      service is active (via pct exec).
+#   2. Install Docker + docker-compose-v2 + git + curl inside the CT.
+#   3. Clone the praxis repo from Gitea into /opt/praxis (with branch
+#      fallback to main).
+#   4. Run scripts/install-service.sh inside the CT.
+#
+# These tests exercise the real firstboot-hook.sh with a mocked `pct`
+# on PATH (records exec invocations + returns controllable exit codes)
+# so the phase-gating, idempotency skip, Docker-install, and git-clone
+# steps are verified without a live PVE host or CT.

+# Bats tests for scripts/proxmox/lxc-deploy.sh orchestration (SLICE-09).
+#
+# Run: bats scripts/proxmox/test/lxc-deploy.bats
+#
+# lxc-deploy.sh orchestrates: stage-snippet → clone → config → start →
+# health-check → success. On ANY failure the EXIT trap fires rollback.sh.
+# The trap captures $? so a `set -e` child failure (e.g. health-check)
+# triggers rollback, not just INT/TERM.
+#
+# Idempotency (D-027): if the target VMID already exists + is healthy,
+# the deploy skips clone/config/start (idempotent re-deploy). If the CT
+# exists but is unhealthy, the operator must pass --recreate (rollback +
+# redeploy) or --reconfigure (re-PUT config + restart) — otherwise the
+# deploy errors with guidance and leaves the CT intact.
+#
+# These tests build a sandbox copy of lxc-deploy.sh with stub sibling
+# scripts + a stub api.sh + the REAL ct-exists.sh (P16) + a stub
+# timing.sh so the real orchestrator logic (trap, sequencing,
+# idempotency, flag parsing) is exercised without a live Proxmox
+# endpoint.
+#
+# Praxis v0.2 (vs coreci) key differences asserted here:
+#   - NO proxy/backend-add/smoke-test steps (proxy tier removed)
+#   - VMID auto-allocation via pve_nextid when PROXMOX_LXC_VMID unset
+#   - hookscript snippet volid is local:snippets/praxis-firstboot.sh

+# CoreCI — deploy-stage timing helper (P11 — IDEATE-39).
+#
+# Sourced (not executed) by the deploy orchestrators
+# (proxy-deploy.sh, lxc-deploy.sh) to emit structured slog-style
+# JSON timing lines for each deploy stage to stderr, where a log
+# aggregator (or `2>>timing.log`) can pick them up.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   . /path/to/timing.sh
+#   timing_start clone
+#   ... clone work ...
+#   timing_end clone
+#
+# Emits one JSON line per timing_end to stderr:
+#   {"event":"praxis_deploy_timing","stage":"clone","duration_s":3}
+#
+# Optional node_exporter textfile collector: if the env var
+# NODE_TEXTFILE_COLLECTOR_DIR points to a writable directory, the
+# latest per-stage duration is ALSO written there as
+# `praxis_deploy_timing_<stage>.prom` so a node_exporter textfile
+# collector scrapes it. If the dir is unset or unwritable, only the
+# JSON log is emitted (the structured-log-first decision, PLAN v3.6
+# P11 Wave 2).
+#
+# Dependencies: date (POSIX epoch via +%s). jq is NOT required (the
+# JSON line is constructed with printf so there is no external dep
+# on the slow path). Idempotent: re-sourcing is harmless (the
+# _TIMING_STARTS associative state is reset on source, but the
+# orchestrator sources exactly once at startup).
+#
+# Adapted from coreci for praxis: metric/event prefixes renamed from
+# `coreci_deploy_timing` → `praxis_deploy_timing` (TASK-03-07).
+#
+# shellcheck shell=sh
+
+# _TIMING_STARTS is a flat file-backed map (stage → epoch seconds).
+# POSIX sh has no associative arrays, so we use a single newline-
+# separated string of "stage=epoch" records and scan it. Stages are
+# short identifiers (clone/config/start/health/smoke) so the linear
+# scan is trivially cheap.
