+
+## 2026-10-17
+
+### 1.12.0 — Recover AFK reservations before teardown (EC #151)
+
+- Advertise `afk.settlement` and drain durable AFK decisions only after confirming
+  the game process has stopped. Removal, rebuild and creation cancellation retain
+  runtime storage until the controller acknowledges every recovery decision.
+- Authenticate recovery with the assigned host and unfinished teardown operation;
+  never follow a journal URL or use a retired game credential. Keep uncertain
+  crash durations distinct from confirmed consumption.
+- Deploy before enabling the matching AFK scripts/plugins. Package and offline-sign
+  the release before publication; no deployment or signing is performed here.
+
+## 2026-10-15
+
+### 1.11.0 — Private player moderation configuration
+
+- Advertise `moderation.configure` and accept separate generation-bound game
+  credentials through private create/rebuild configuration or the typed
+  `instance.configure-moderation` operation. Existing servers preserve startup
+  through a fixed include in their verified private bank configuration; servers
+  without a verified bootstrap require rebuilding.
+- Keep moderation credentials out of file reads, logs, manifests, staged changes,
+  shared recipes and operation receipts. Configure loads only the fixed private
+  file, never restarts gameplay, and does not replay RCON after an unknown result.
+- Controller coverage remains unavailable until the game moderation runtime
+  connects and reports its capabilities. Older agents retain normal launches.
+- Package release artifacts for offline signing before publication; do not
+  publish unsigned artifacts.
+
+## 2026-10-14
+
+### 1.10.1 — Retain verified rebuild artifacts (EC #154)
+
+- Retain the complete verified replacement file set before stopping the current
+  container, including inline files and private bank configuration, within the
+  existing 64 MiB operation limit. Staged-file comparison, replacement validation
+  and writing reuse those bytes without further artifact downloads.
+- Keep prepared bytes local to the operation. Failed and held attempts discard
+  their files; later operations prepare a fresh set. Immutable specifications,
+  journal requests and container identity labels remain unchanged.
+- Preserve checksum, path, per-file size, player-safety, bank-settlement and
+  generation checks. Add regressions for preflight failures, lost connectivity
+  after preflight, file-set limits and operation isolation.
+- Package release artifacts for offline signing before publication. No protocol
+  change or controller migration is required.
+
+## 2026-10-13
+
+### 1.10.0 — Host temperature telemetry
+
+- Read supported Linux hwmon CPU package/core, AMD physical die/CCD, NVMe and
+  Intel PCH temperatures with the Python standard library. Sensor failures,
+  faults and disabled inputs are skipped independently; unsupported hosts report
+  an empty list. AMD Tctl control offsets are excluded from physical readings.
+- Include labeled, bounded sensors in heartbeats with the `host.temperatures`
+  capability. Physical device/channel identities survive hwmon renumbering.
+- The controller shows current CPU readings and expandable sensor details, and
+  adds temperature history to Capacity. Fleet history has one CPU line per host;
+  individual hosts can add NVMe composite and chipset lines. History retains
+  minute peaks using the host-resource retention setting; missing data stays
+  unavailable and no thermal alerts or placement rules are introduced.
+- Adds database migration 23. Existing agents remain compatible. Release
+  artifacts are packaged and the stale signature is removed. Offline signing
+  and host rollout are still required; neither was performed here.
+
+## 2026-10-12
+
+### 1.9.3 — Protect private bank configuration (EC #152)
+
+- Exclude the generated bank config from file manifests and reject file reads,
+  staged changes, stale activations, rollback snapshots and log reads targeting
+  it. Creation and rebuilding still inject the private instance credential.
+- Package and offline-sign this release, then update agents before resuming
+  drift recovery. Old private-file stages fail safely and require a fresh plan.
+
+### 1.9.1 — Public game-bank endpoint
+
+- Companion to [TWS scripts #13](https://gitea.thewrightserver.net/josh/tws-zombies-scripts/issues/13).
+  In `agent/ec_agent.py`, stop generating `tws_bank_url` in
+  `electric_cherry_bank.cfg`; continue injecting the private per-instance token.
+  Launch configuration still supplies `tws_server_id`. The host's enrolled
+  controller address and authentication remain unchanged.
+- Recognize journals for `https://ec.thewrightserver.net/api/bank` and the legacy
+  bank URL derived from the enrolled controller. Reject other URLs and preserve
+  unresolved storage. Settlement still goes only through the enrolled controller's
+  authenticated, operation- and instance-scoped API. Original transaction IDs and
+  commit/cancel decisions are preserved across lost replies and retries.
+- Compatibility: pair with T5/T6 bank scripts `2.0.0` and existing TWS plugins
+  `1.1.0+`. No new Python dependency, controller migration or protocol change.
+  Old scripts still fall back to the public endpoint when the dvar is absent.
+- Deployment: package and offline-sign the release, update/restart host agents,
+  then rebuild through EC when a server's bank endpoint changes. Rebuild stops
+  the game and drains old decisions before starting the replacement or deleting
+  storage. An endpoint that already matches needs only a map restart for the
+  script update. Follow the [bank rollout procedure](../docs/guides/bank.md#upgrading-from-a-controller-derived-game-endpoint).
+  Packaging refreshes `static/agent/ec-agent.py` and `manifest.json` and removes
+  the old signature; a new offline signature is required before publishing.
+  No signing or deployment was performed.
+- Regression coverage in `agent/tests/test_agent.py`: generated credentials,
+  public and legacy journals for both games, rebuild/removal, lost replies,
+  agent restart, unchanged identities and rejection of untrusted endpoints.
+  Live Windows/Plutonium endpoint migration and signed host rollout remain to
+  be validated.

+Free time is spent first. Its available amount is the allowance minus outstanding free reservations and confirmed free consumption charged within the preceding 24 hours. Consumption is charged at the controller's receipt of a durable stop, so free time replenishes 24 hours after that receipt. This deliberately conservative rolling window cannot grant more than the allowance in a rolling day, even with delayed delivery or inaccurate server clocks. Each charge expires independently; unused days never accumulate. Reads, reconnects, map changes, and changing game/server do not reset anything. An unclosed reservation never expires, even after 24 hours. Profile `freeRenewsAt` is the next known charge expiration, not a promise to release unresolved authorization.
+
+Active seconds and partial kill/headshot thresholds persist by GUID across matches and servers. Cumulative snapshots contribute only their increase over the last accepted snapshot for that originating immutable instance, match key, and GUID. Active play rewards use every completed interval. Participating rounds, kill thresholds, and headshot thresholds share one rolling 3600-_active-second_ budget: each performance grant occupies budget until another 3600 verified active seconds elapses. Kill and headshot rewards can stack. Spectating, AFK, idle connections, wall-clock waiting, and raw score increases do not advance this clock. Each legitimate successful teammate revive earns the full configured revive reward, including repeated revives of the same teammate; there is no revive count limit or performance cap. Only overall saved capacity applies.
+
+Capacity includes saved seconds currently reserved by sessions. Overflow rewards and performance bonuses above the rolling budget are discarded, while partial threshold progress persists; capacity does not bank deferred whole rewards. The scripts report only actual gameplay events, eligible active seconds, and rounds with participation. The backend requires `activity:"playing"`, rejects current reward submissions while a session is reserved or started (an unresolved, stopped crash may resume gameplay), enforces monotonic counters, and rejects cumulative active time above the match's wall duration plus a 60-second telemetry tolerance. This scoped trusted-server API cannot independently observe a game engine's successful revive or verify its eligibility. The native/GSC collection paths are part of the trust boundary.
+
+## Machine protocol
+
+Use `POST /api/afk/{balance,event,purchase,reserve,start,settle}` with `Content-Type: application/json` and `Authorization: Bearer <instance bank credential>`. The body limit is 4096 bytes; responses have `Cache-Control: no-store`. Purchases, reservations, start acknowledgments, and balance reads require the exact current active telemetry match and a present GUID on the authenticated server. Gameplay backlog can additionally reference a retained historical match containing that GUID when the immutable instance lifetime proves origin. Historical active time is bounded to the recorded match end or last received telemetry, and its grants still respect held saved capacity. Gameplay whose historical membership evidence has been removed is rejected without granting time. Settlement remains valid for the original instance after disconnect, match completion, or match/server history deletion.
+
+All requests contain `server`, `guid`, and `match` (the existing telemetry `reporter_match_key`, not a separate AFK match identifier). Mutations additionally require `request_id`. GUID, match, request and session IDs are 1–64 characters from `[A-Za-z0-9_.:-]`. Optional `event_time` is a parseable timestamp no more than five minutes in the future; it records the reported event time, while `created_at` records controller receipt time. Keep the complete body immutable across retries, including `event_time`.

+
+`end_reason` is one of `manual`, `disconnect`, `death`, `match_end`, `expired`, `never_started`, or `crash`. `expired` requires exact consumption of the authorization. `never_started` requires zero. An unknown crash duration uses `consumed_seconds:null,end_reason:"crash",confirmed_seconds:<last durable elapsed lower bound>`. Confirmed consumption must fit the original authorization and cannot fall below an already-recorded checkpoint.
+
+Every application result has:
+
+```json
+{
+    "ok": true,
+    "state": "reserved",
+    "code": "ok",
+    "request_id": "request-123",
+    "free_seconds": 0,
+    "saved_seconds": 600,
+    "available_seconds": 600,
+    "reserved_seconds": 1800,
+    "capacity_seconds": 21600,
+    "authorized_seconds": 1800,
+    "bank_balance": 20000,
+    "purchase_points": 10000,
+    "purchase_seconds": 600,
+    "max_purchase_packs": 2,
+    "session_id": "session-123",
+    "consumed_seconds": null
+}
+```
+
+`available_seconds` excludes held authorizations; `reserved_seconds` is held time for this GUID across all servers. `authorized_seconds` is meaningful for session results and is the original authorization, never an extension. `session_id` and `consumed_seconds` appear on session results; `awarded_seconds` appears on reward and purchase results. `max_purchase_packs` is the smaller of affordable packs and capacity, or zero when a bank transfer is prepared. Recheck the quote through `balance` before confirmation; changed pricing rejects with `price_changed` without spending points. There is no automatic purchase.
+
+States are `balance`, `rewarded`, `purchased`, `reserved`, `started`, `settled`, `unresolved`, `corrected`, and `rejected`. HTTP 200 can contain an application rejection (`ok:false`), such as `empty`, `session_pending`, `bank_pending`, `insufficient_balance`, `reserve_capacity`, `price_changed`, `invalid_active_time`, `invalid_consumption`, `progress_regression`, or `progress_conflict`. Authentication failures are 401/403; invalid syntax/amounts are 400. `not_in_match` is a nonreceipted HTTP 409 for unknown/current membership publication lag on new work, allowing the same immutable request to retry after telemetry catches up. Known completed/obsolete matches and recorded players who have departed (`present=0`) are terminal HTTP 200 rejections for new work. Only never-observed membership remains eligible for the publication-lag retry. Gameplay missing historical membership/origin proof is also a terminal HTTP 200 rejection so an unrecoverable old snapshot cannot block the durable queue; subsequent cumulative snapshots can still include its counters if membership is established. Changed request identity or ownership is HTTP 409 `request_conflict`/`session_conflict`. Transaction failures are 503 and can retry unchanged. Early authentication/body failures may contain only `ok` and `code`.
+
+Purchase debits the existing bank account and grants saved time in the same immediate SQLite transaction, with linked point/time ledger entries. A prepared bank transfer blocks purchase until its own existing commit/cancel workflow completes. No second points bank is created.
+
+## Ordering, authorization, and outages
+
+1. Native code durably writes the immutable request before sending it. Use one stable request ID per operation, with separate IDs for reserve, start, and settle. Stable session IDs bind all session operations.
+2. `reserve` atomically takes free time first and saved time second, authorizing `min(requested,available)` seconds. Only one outstanding session can hold a GUID's funds. An identical retry returns the saved result. A new operation referring to an already-known session cannot reset or extend it.
+3. Durable native state records the reservation and the start intent. `start` must return the `started` acknowledgment before protection is enabled. Scripts additionally recheck current player/map eligibility and activate only once. A delayed acknowledgment cannot reactivate an ended local session. The countdown uses the locally recorded authorization and elapsed clock; it does not require heartbeat renewal.
+4. Manual return, disconnect, death, match end, or zero countdown removes protection and restores controls before producing a durable stop. Native code records the confirmed elapsed seconds and immutable `settle` request, then retries delivery until acknowledged. Round elapsed time up to whole seconds and cap it to authorization. At zero the scripts immediately restore normal vulnerability and controls; there is no grace, automatic buy, or spectator transition. Manual `.back` retains its separate gameplay behavior.
+5. `settle` records confirmed consumption and releases unused reserved seconds exactly once. It accepts legitimate delayed reports after membership disappears. `never_started` settlement can arrive before its reserve and installs a tombstone; delayed reserve/start cannot reopen that session. Completed/corrected sessions remain terminal. A retry of an earlier operation returns that operation's original receipt, which may predate settlement; native terminal journal state must win over such an old response.
+6. If the controller is unavailable, an already-started session keeps its locally authorized countdown to zero. If reserve/start was never acknowledged, do not enable protection. A crashed process must first be proven stopped before recovery. A checkpoint is only a lower bound on elapsed time; an absent heartbeat or old checkpoint is never evidence for a refund. Recover unknown elapsed time as `unresolved`, retaining authorization until reliable stop evidence or an explicit administrator correction resolves it.
+
+Receipts bind the complete body and action to server, immutable instance, and request ID. Reusing an ID with any changed parameter is a conflict. Accepted same/lower-sequence gameplay counters award no additional time; same sequence with changed counters conflicts, a later sequence with a decreased total is rejected, and a lower sequence cannot introduce a higher counter. Native/GSC code must preserve cumulative per-GUID totals across reconnects within the same match. A distinct revive increments `revives` even for the same teammate; retrying a snapshot never increments it.
+
+For host teardown, `POST /api/agent/afk/settle` uses the assigned host credential and `{operationId,action,transfer}`. Only an unfinished `instance.remove`, `instance.rebuild`, or `instance.cancel-create` for that host/immutable instance is accepted. `action:"settle"` reconciles session evidence; `event` and `purchase` are receipt-only recovery and return `not_applied` if the original request never committed. Teardown cannot create a new purchase or reward. Instance retirement revokes normal game API credentials, including reads; the assigned host recovery path permits settlement after retirement without granting a replacement instance ownership of old sessions.
+
+## Crash correction and reporting
+
+An administrator can reconcile an explicitly stopped `unresolved` session with `POST /api/afk/corrections` using their browser session and same-origin protections:
+
+```json
+{
+    "session_id": "session-123",
+    "request_id": "admin-case-456",
+    "consumed_seconds": 120,
+    "reason": "Confirmed process stopped; reviewed native checkpoint and host logs.",
+    "stopped": true
+}
+```
+
+The selected charge must be at least the confirmed checkpoint and no more than authorization. Correction cannot release a live reserved/started session, and does not convert an uncertain duration into an exact one: `state` becomes `corrected`, `consumedSeconds` remains null, `chargedSeconds` records the accounting decision, and `confirmedSeconds` retains the evidence lower bound. The audit ledger records the actor, reason, charge, and release. The correction ID is idempotent and rejects changed parameters. A true confirmed stop report can instead settle an unresolved session with its verified exact duration.
+
+Open **Players → AFK** (`/afk`) to browse all AFK accounts, sessions, and time-ledger entries. The accounts view supports player-name and exact-GUID searches and links each account to its player profile. Session history includes unresolved reservations; session and ledger history can be filtered by game, server, and date. Filters and pagination remain in the URL when opening a player or retained match, so the back link restores the same overview. Refresh reads current balances without issuing grants, releasing reservations, or otherwise changing accounts. This reporting page has no purchase or correction controls.
+
+The AFK overview and player profiles use the same signed-in viewer access as Bank. Player profiles also retain balances and recent time-ledger entries alongside bank information. Reports distinguish cumulative verified active seconds, confirmed AFK duration, unresolved sessions, expiration count, manual returns, purchases, and corrected charges. Session starts, end reasons, operation/session IDs, server, match when retained, reported event time, receipt time, resulting balances, free grants, rewards, point-linked purchases, reservations, consumption, releases, and corrections survive match retention and server deletion.
+
+## Coordinated rollout and validation
+
+Back up the controller database and persistent game journals. Deploy EC first;
+migration 30 creates the AFK accounts, operations, progress, sessions, bonus budget
+and ledger tables without match/server cascading deletion. Install host agent
+**1.12.0+**, including its `afk.settlement` capability, before activating the game
+scripts. Package and offline-sign the agent release using the normal host update
+workflow; a local build does not sign or deploy it.
+
+Install TWS AFK scripts **2.0.0** with matching native plugins **1.4.0+** for both
+engines, common **1.4.0+**, telemetry **1.0.0+**, and Plutonium **r5334+**. Fully
+restart each game-server process for the plugin update. Keep the existing private
+bank credential configuration and persistent `tws-afk/t5/` / `tws-afk/t6/` storage.
+See the [scripts AFK guide](https://gitea.thewrightserver.net/josh/tws-zombies-scripts/src/branch/main/docs/afk.md)
+for commands, active-play criteria, protection ownership, game dvars and the
+in-game validation matrix.
+
+Run `npx vitest run tests/unit/afk.test.ts tests/unit/bank.test.ts tests/unit/ui-afk-profile.test.ts`,
+the normal EC checks/build, and `python3 -m unittest discover -s agent/tests -v`.
+The scripts repository supplies `node tools/check_afk.mjs` and
+`python3 tools/test_plugin_afk.py` with the pinned native JSON dependency headers.
+Portable native tests use sanitizers and engine adapters; script tests use engine
+shims. Neither proves Windows DLL linking or live game behavior.
+
+Before production rollout, exercise both T5 and T6 with a short test allowance:
+manual return, immediate zero-time expiry, downed/dead/spectator states, `.hud`
+hidden, repeated revives, partial reward thresholds across reconnects, explicit
+purchase confirmation and capacity rejection. Compare the center countdown to
+the authorized seconds, ensure controls/weapons and normal vulnerability return
+at zero, and confirm active-play metrics exclude AFK time (manual `.back` restores reward eligibility immediately, including during its separate protection grace). Test last-active
+death/disconnect and stock afterlife/Grief recovery on deployed maps.
+
+Drop reserve/start/purchase/settle responses, reorder deliveries, disconnect EC
+after authorization and restart game/controller/host processes. Confirm the local
+deadline survives the outage, durable stops release unused time once, and ambiguous
+crashes remain unconfirmed until an audited correction. Rebuild/remove an instance
+with both games' journals and a retired game credential; host recovery must retain
+files until acknowledged and must never create a new purchase or gameplay reward.
+Live T5/T6 gameplay and deployment validation require the actual game servers.

 Plutonium keys belong to a game pool shared by every map, manual launch, collection, beta, and autoscaling policy for that game. An eligible creation uses the lowest available lobby number from 1–20 and reserves any free game key atomically. Key labels do not select a map or lobby. The policy shows saved and available game keys; policy maxima can exceed pool size, and a policy can be saved before any keys are added. An empty or exhausted pool holds new growth with a clear reason; it does not prevent surplus removal. Queued launches reserve their key, stopped instances retain it, and confirmed cleanup returns it to the pool. Failed or uncertain launches keep their reservation until safely reconciled. Existing lobbies and unfinished operations must be healthy and settled before activation. Automatic removal also requires agent **1.7.0 or later** advertising `instance.autoscaling-remove` on each affected host.
 
-The desired count is `min(maximum, max(minimum, occupied lobbies + empty spare target))`. The controller evaluates policies every 15 seconds and requests at most one unresolved operation per policy. Game-wide policies allow one outstanding operation across their maps, prioritizing additions before removals. Once an operation settles, the next evaluation can act immediately on another eligible lobby. Surplus lobbies must still satisfy the configured continuous empty duration before removal.

+# Player bank
+
+The bank stores one points balance per exact GUID across T5 and T6. Players use
+`.b`, `.d <amount|all>` and `.w <amount|all>` with the TWS bank scripts. Deposits
+move spendable match points into the bank; withdrawals return bank points to
+the current match. Neither changes earned `score_total`. Bank-assisted games
+still count toward the existing leaderboards; the ledger records their match
+IDs. This release does not introduce separate bank-assisted rankings.
+
+## Setup and rollout
+
+1. Back up the controller database. Update every host agent to **1.9.1 or later**
+   before installing the public-endpoint bank scripts. This version settles both
+   public and legacy controller-derived journals before removing runtime storage.
+   Package and offline-sign the agent
+   release using the [host update workflow](native-hosts.md).
+2. Deploy Electric Cherry and restart the controller. Migration 20 creates
+   accounts, requests and the ledger; migration 21 adds instance credentials and
+   binds existing requests to their currently active native instance, if any.
+3. Set `EC_BANK_MAX_BALANCE` (default 250000, range 1–1000000). Invalid configuration
+   refuses new deposits. Lowering the limit preserves existing balances and
+   prepared deposits; withdrawals remain available.
+4. Build/install TWS plugins `t5-plugin`/`t6-plugin` 1.1.0 or later and restart
+   the **whole game-server process**. Install `tws_t5_bank.gsc` or
+   `tws_t6_bank.gsc` 2.0.0, common 1.0.0+ and telemetry 1.0.0+.
+   For existing servers changing endpoints, use the rebuild procedure below.
+5. Create or rebuild the servers through EC. Launch preparation generates a
+   cryptographically random `ec_bank_` credential for each immutable instance,
+   stores it in the private controller database, and injects it through
+   `configs/electric_cherry_bank.cfg`. The launch command executes this private
+   file and sets `tws_server_id`. The host agent writes only `tws_bank_token` in
+   that private file; it no longer generates `tws_bank_url`.
+
+Both game scripts always send bank requests to
+`https://ec.thewrightserver.net/api/bank`, even if an old `tws_bank_url` remains
+in configuration. The host agent's enrolled HTTPS controller URL is separate
+and continues to carry agent traffic, including authenticated bank settlement.
+It may differ from the public endpoint reachable by game containers.
+
+There is **no `EC_BANK_TOKENS` environment map** and no per-server secret setup.
+The private configuration is sent only in that host's authenticated operation
+payload. It is excluded from shared recipes, promoted files and blob downloads.
+Do not upload `electric_cherry_bank.cfg`: its filename is reserved. Protect the
+controller database, host operation journal and per-instance runtime directory,
+which contain private credentials.
+
+Drift scans exclude the exact generated configuration path for both games.
+A maintenance rescan resolves old bank-only incidents and retains other file
+changes in mixed incidents. Private-file campaign plans saved before this fix
+are rejected at activation; cancel them and rescan rather than retrying the old
+plan. Upgrade host agents to **1.9.3 or later** before resuming drift recovery
+so stages already saved on a host also reject private-file reads and changes.
+Legacy private bank-file campaign diffs and their blob downloads are blocked;
+this does not erase previously captured bytes from databases or backups.
+
+Retries, rebuilds and host moves of the same instance reuse its credential.
+Retiring the instance immediately revokes authentication. Creating another
+server with the same display name produces a new instance ID and secret; it
+cannot finish the old instance's requests. Accounts remain attached to player
+GUIDs, so balances survive the servers. Telemetry tokens and browser sessions
+cannot authorize bank requests. Host credentials can only settle decisions
+through the separate, operation-scoped teardown endpoint.
+
+For an upgrade from the initial static-token implementation, drain outstanding
+transfers while the old controller/configuration still runs, then deploy and
+rebuild. Remove the obsolete environment map and any manually supplied token.
+Do not replace identities or discard pending journals to force an upgrade.
+
+### Upgrading from a controller-derived game endpoint
+
+Update agents to `1.9.1+` first. If an existing server's `tws_bank_url` differs
+from `https://ec.thewrightserver.net/api/bank`, rebuild that server through EC
+with bank scripts `2.0.0`. The agent stops the old game, settles its pending
+commit/cancel decisions with their original request IDs, then starts the
+replacement and removes old storage. The server identity and instance credential
+are preserved. Lost acknowledgments can replay the same decisions; EC's retained
+request IDs prevent duplicate ledger changes. An outage or invalid journal
+retains storage and blocks replacement until recovery succeeds.
+
+Do not deploy the new scripts with only a map restart when the endpoint changes:
+native journals are keyed by server and endpoint, and the new scripts cannot load
+the old scope. Do not rename, rewrite or delete pending journals. Keep the
+agent's enrolled controller URL unchanged until legacy journals drain; the
+agent accepts only the fixed public endpoint and the legacy `/api/bank` URL
+derived from that enrolled controller. Other legacy URLs require recovery with
+their original configuration before switching. If the old URL already matches
+the exact public endpoint, existing journals retain their identity and a map
+restart is sufficient for the script upgrade. No new native plugin build is
+required beyond `1.1.0`.
+
+## Machine API

+application/json` and `Authorization: Bearer <server-bank-token>`. Responses
+are never cached. Bodies are capped at 4096 bytes. GUIDs and request IDs stay

+```json
+{
+    "server": "t5_zombie_theater_1",
+    "guid": "18446744073709551615",
+    "match": "reporter-match-key",
+    "request_id": "unique-process-token-17",
+    "operation": "deposit",
+    "amount": 2000,
+    "capacity": 995000
+}
+```
+
+`match` is the reporter's telemetry match key, **not** Electric Cherry's numeric
+match ID. `request_id` is unique for the server and at most 64 characters.
+`amount` is a positive integer up to 1000000; withdrawal also accepts `"all"`.
+The script resolves deposit `all` to its captured spendable points. `capacity`
+is the current room below the game's bank withdrawal cap of 1000000 points.
+An `all` withdrawal that exceeds this room is refused, rather than truncated.
+
+Preparation requires the GUID to be present in the server's latest active match,
+with the exact telemetry match key. Late joiners may need to wait for the next
+30-second heartbeat. Unknown/destroyed servers, absent players and old matches
+cannot prepare transfers. Settlement of an existing decision remains possible
+after match completion or retention. Host teardown can finish saved decisions
+after retirement; the retired game credential itself no longer authenticates.
+
+Successful application responses include `ok`, `state`, `code`, `request_id`,
+`amount` and `balance`. States are `balance`, `prepared`, `committed`, `cancelled`
+or `rejected`. For balance reads, `amount` is the available balance. A business
+rejection uses HTTP 200 with `ok: false`, `state: "rejected"` and a code such as
+`insufficient_balance`, `empty`, `bank_limit`, `points_limit`, `not_in_match` or
+`pending`. It never changes points. Authentication failures use 401/403,
+malformed input 400/413/415, identity conflicts 409, and unavailable service 503.
+
+Repeated requests return the saved result/state without applying a second
+change. Settled IDs never reopen; a committed result retains its original
+resulting balance even if later transfers change the account. Reusing an ID
+with different transfer fields returns 409. A GUID has at most one prepared
+transfer across all servers. SQLite transactions serialize checks, account
+updates and ledger insertion, so concurrent requests cannot overspend funds or
+deposit past the configured maximum.
+
+## Lost responses and recovery
+
+The game saves a cancellation decision **before** sending a prepare request.
+Only a validated prepared reply lets it recheck the player's life, current
+spendable points and withdrawal room. It then records a commit decision and
+updates spendable points without yielding. The sender retries settlement with
+the original identity, at delays of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, then 30 seconds. Invalid,
+truncated or uncorrelated replies never authorize points changes.
+
+A failed/uncertain prepare leaves game points unchanged and queues cancellation.
+Cancellation can arrive first: its tombstone blocks the delayed prepare. Death,
+respawn, disconnect or match end before application also cancels. After a commit
+decision, retries only finish the ledger; they never change game points again.
+These points now belong to the current match, so an applied withdrawal is not
+automatically refunded if that match ends or its server crashes.
+
+Keep `tws-bank/t5/` or `tws-bank/t6/`, relative to the game process working
+directory, on persistent writable storage with a
+single process per server/endpoint. Journals contain transfer data, not secrets.
+On a map/process restart, saved decisions settle before new bank commands.
+Unreadable storage disables the bank; failed writes prevent points changes.
+Pending decisions remain until acknowledged, even on credential errors. Bank
+holds do not expire automatically, because expiring a saved commit can lose a
+deposit or create a free withdrawal. Restore connectivity/configuration and the
+original journal to resolve holds; never delete a pending journal to unblock
+the bank. If storage is permanently lost, reconcile against the retained
+request and ledger records before any manual repair.
+
+During removal, rebuild, host migration or launch cancellation, agent 1.9.1+
+stops the game and drains its journals **before** deleting runtime files or
+starting a replacement. It uses its host credential at
+`POST /api/agent/bank/settle`; EC checks the assigned host, immutable instance,
+unfinished teardown operation, server and original request identity. This
+endpoint permits only commit/cancel, never new deposits or withdrawals. Journal
+URLs must match the public game-bank endpoint or that host's legacy
+controller-derived bank endpoint; the agent never follows a journal URL.
+Corruption, an unrecognized endpoint, failed acknowledgment or an
+outage retains storage and leaves the operation unresolved for retry. An
+interrupted rebuild uses the existing rebuild recovery workflow to retry with
+a fresh operation after settlement. Do not manually erase its old directory.
+
+The journal provides recovery from map/process restart. It cannot make live
+game memory and SQLite one atomic transaction or preserve match points after a
+machine/storage failure. Back up persistent storage and verify crash behavior
+in the actual Windows/Plutonium deployment before rollout.
+
+## History and validation
+
+The **Players → Bank** page shows fleet-wide balances, funded accounts, completed
+transfers in the last 24 hours and pending transfers. Accounts can be searched by
+player name or GUID, sorted by balance or recent completed activity, and filtered
+to funded accounts, accounts at or above the configured limit, or pending transfers.
+Balances always remain shared across both games.
+
+Transactions can be filtered by player, game, server, direction and inclusive UTC
+dates. Pending transfers show oldest first, with an attention indicator after five
+minutes and details explaining the reservation. This indicator does not expire or
+cancel a transfer. Both views retain historical server identities and match IDs
+after retention; unavailable matches have no live link.
+
+Selecting a player opens a drawer with their balance, available points, pending
+transfer and paginated history. Filters and pagination are retained in the URL,
+including when following a match or player-profile link. The page refreshes every
+30 seconds while visible. Summary counts always cover the whole fleet. Bank is
+read-only for all browser roles; transfers continue to originate in game.
+
+Player profiles show the shared balance, pending status and three newest ledger
+entries, with a **View bank history** link to the drawer. Entries include signed
+amounts, resulting balances, server, time and match.
+Accounts, request IDs and ledger entries have no cascading match/server foreign
+keys and are not deleted by match retention or server deletion. Retained IDs
+also keep old retries idempotent. Expired match links become plain historical
+IDs. Include these tables in normal database backups.
+
+Run `npx vitest run tests/unit/bank.test.ts tests/unit/bank-overview.test.ts tests/client/bank-page.test.ts`, then the usual lint, type checks,
+tests and build. TWS supplies `node tools/check_bank.mjs` and
+`python3 tools/test_plugin_bank.py`. Live validation must cover both games:
+deposit/withdraw amounts and `all`, insufficient funds and caps, joining before
+telemetry, `.help`, score HUD updates, death/respawn/disconnect during requests,
+lost prepare/commit replies, controller outage, disk failures and map/process
+restart with pending work. Confirm earned score and leaderboard behavior, and
+verify that another server's credential and the telemetry credential fail.
+For the endpoint upgrade, also test a different enrolled controller address and
+a stale `tws_bank_url`, `.b` with an empty balance, `.w all` with no funds, and
+rebuild/removal with both legacy and public journals. Drop a settlement reply,
+restart the agent and verify the original IDs settle without duplicate ledger
+changes before the replacement starts or runtime storage is removed.

+creates with valid timestamps, including queue time. Each create has equal weight.
+Without valid completed creates, these timings are unavailable, not zero. Verified
+readiness does not establish browser visibility or successful external joins.
+
+Scope uses the operation's recorded server name, which encodes its game and map
+variant. Game-wide policies do not combine different variants when filtering by
+map. Friendly map names, slugs, and unambiguous canonical map names are supported;
+an ambiguous engine label such as `zm_transit` is not assigned to a variant.
+History survives server removal and policy deletion, subject to Provisioning
+retention. Missing or purged operations are not estimated. The policy card's
+31-day spare-deficit measurements remain separate from this section.
+
+## Matches and groups
+
+**Matches started** counts retained matches whose recorded start falls within the
+selected period, including both endpoints. A missing start event uses the first
+recorded match observation, which may be later than the actual start. Active,
+completed, and interrupted matches all count, including matches that never reach
+round 2 and matches on removed servers. These counts do not use the leaderboard's
+completed-match or round qualification rules.
+
+**Average group size** is the average number of distinct recorded player GUIDs per
+match. A player counts once across all reports for that match, including late
+joins and players who left before its end. Each match has equal weight in the
+fleet average; the average is not an average of map averages. This measures
+recorded participation over the match's lifetime, not its starting squad or peak
+simultaneous occupancy. Active matches can change as more players are recorded.
+
+**Solo games** counts matches with exactly one distinct recorded player. Its share
+uses only matches with at least one recorded player. Matches with no recorded
+players still count as started, but their group size is unknown and they are
+excluded from both the average and solo-share denominator. If no matches have
+recorded players, those two values are unavailable rather than zero.
+
+The map table includes these same match statistics. A map with match history in
+the selected period remains visible even without occupancy samples; its match
+statistics do not establish lobby-hours, availability, or an autoscaling shortage.
+Match statistics cover the selected period only and have no previous-period
+comparison.
+
+## Players over time
+
+The player chart uses the lobby chart's periods: hourly for 24 hours, and UTC-aligned
+24-hour periods for 7 or 30 days. Labels use the report timezone. **Unique players**
+counts distinct player GUIDs in every period overlapped by their recorded match
+participation, from first to last sighting. Multiple matches in one period count
+once, and the same GUID across Black Ops I and II is one player. Matches that began
+before the range still contribute participation inside it. These are recorded
+participants, not concurrent player counts or the lobby chart's player-hours.
+
+**New players** counts a GUID at its earliest recorded sighting across both games.
+Game and Map filters limit unique players to matching retained matches; new players
+count only when their original sighting was in a matching match. A regular's first
+visit to another map or game does not make them new again. Period boundaries belong
+to the following period; a sighting exactly at the range's end counts in the final
+period. Range totals count distinct GUIDs across the entire window independently:
+daily unique counts cannot be added to get the range total.
+
+Periods before the earliest retained match are gaps, not zero players. This history
+boundary is fleet-wide, so filtering to a quiet map does not hide recorded zeroes.
+The chart notes limited history and marks periods clipped by the selected range or
+the retained-history boundary with hollow points. Totals cover available history
+only. Select a point, use Left/Right or Home/End, or open **Inspect a period** for
+the exact interval and counts. **View exact time data** provides the same values
+in a keyboard-accessible table, with missing history shown as a dash.
+
+History begins when leaderboard recording started; earlier play cannot be recovered.
+Players already playing then count as new when first recorded. Participation spans
+do not prove continuous presence between reports, and unrecorded matches are absent.
+Match retention removes participation, which can shorten or leave holes in this
+history. The durable first-seen player identities survive retention, so removing an
+old match cannot make a returning player new again. The original map cannot be
+recovered from an expired match. The chart remains available without occupancy samples.

-## Comparisons and hosting experiments
+The map table supports numeric sorting and local search. **Lobbies (avg · peak)**
+shows the time-weighted average and peak concurrent lobby count for each recorded
+game/map pair, with empty lobby-hours beneath. Sort this column by average count.
+The average divides all captured lobby-hours, including unknown occupancy, by
+that map's captured wall time; collection gaps and periods without recorded lobbies
+for that map are excluded. Peak is the largest captured concurrent count, not the
+number of distinct lobby names. Empty lobby-hours sum time with zero reported
+players across the map's lobbies. Unknown occupancy is not counted as empty;
+empty time is unavailable when no occupancy is known. Lobby counts are unavailable
+without captured time. Per-lobby match and activity history is available on server pages.
 
-**Explore this period** adds experimental decision aids below the main timeline:
+The map table's
+**No empty lobby** column uses occupancy alone and retains the known map-time
+denominator in its details. Unknown map availability stays distinct from zero
+time without a spare. Evidence can be limited by short observations or unknown
+occupancy, never by missing player limits.

+
+Policy settings may have changed during the selected period. Comparing historical
+counts against today's maximum does not establish which settings applied then or

+and game-key availability before changing targets.
 
 ## Definitions and collection
 
-- Utilized means a successful status response reported at least one player.
+- **With players:** a successful observation reported at least one player.
-- Idle means a successful response reported zero players.
+- **Empty spare:** an observation reported zero players.
-- Unknown covers failed checks, provisioning, and unavailable containers; it is excluded from utilization percentages.
+- **Unknown:** failed checks, provisioning, or otherwise unavailable occupancy.
-- Player-hours integrate the reported player count over observed time. Bots are included if the server counts them as players.
+- **Player-hours:** reported players × observed time. Bots count if the server includes them.
-- All lobbies full measures map wall time when every tracked lobby in that game/map group has a known capacity and is full. Missing capacity or status makes that interval unknown. This is a capacity-pressure indicator, not a count of rejected joins or unmet demand.
+- **Empty lobby available:** at least one lobby on the game/map reported zero players.
+- **No empty lobby:** at least one lobby reported occupancy, and none reported zero. Mixed positive and unknown counts mean no empty lobby was reported; an unknown lobby might actually have been empty.
+- **Unknown map availability:** every lobby on the game/map had unknown occupancy. This interval is excluded from the known-map denominator and is never counted as a spare shortage.
 
-Observations are recorded by the existing status worker. Each remains valid until the next collection, up to the 90-second freshness limit. Longer manager outages are excluded. Charts split time at UTC hour/day boundaries; partial periods remain partial. Map variants use the configured variant when it matches the reported map.
+Observations come from the existing status worker. Each complete collection stays
+valid until the next collection, up to the 90-second freshness limit. Longer gaps
+are excluded, not counted as unknown or zero lobbies. Captured wall time includes
+intervals with at least one recorded lobby in the selected scope. Unknown lobby
+time and unknown map time use different units: several unknown lobbies on one map
+contribute several lobby-hours but only one interval of unknown map availability.
 
-Capacity comes from `sv_maxclients` / `sv_maxClients` in the status response. When unavailable, the UI displays unknown rather than assuming a four-player limit. Capacity coverage is the map time for which every tracked lobby reported both occupancy and capacity.
+Charts split time at UTC hour/day boundaries; partial periods remain partial.
+Map variants use the configured variant when it matches the reported map. Player
+capacity may be retained in raw samples, but no metric or signal requires
+`sv_maxclients` or an assumed four-player limit.
 
-Collection begins after this feature is installed; previous occupancy cannot be reconstructed. Samples default to 31 days of retention; Admin → Settings can change this period. Cleanup runs during collection and in the background. They survive removal of a server and contain no player identities. The additive database table is created automatically on startup.

+change this period. Cleanup runs during collection and in the background. Samples
+survive removal of a server and contain no player identities.
+
+Match statistics use existing saved match history, independently of occupancy
+samples and raw telemetry diagnostics. **Match history retention** under
+**Admin → Settings → Matches & players** defaults to indefinite. Expiring a
+completed or interrupted match also removes its player participation and changes
+these statistics; active matches are protected. Increasing retention cannot

 ## API
 
-`GET /api/metrics` supplies the same report as the page and disables response
+`GET /api/metrics` supplies the same report as the page and disables HTTP response
 caching. Query parameters are `days` (1, 7, or 30), `game`, `map` (requires game),
 and `timeZone` (an IANA zone). Invalid ranges and zones fall back to the defaults;
 invalid scope syntax is normalized. Fleet collection timestamps remain separate
 from selected-scope evidence timestamps. Collection boundaries are determined
 before scope filtering, so samples from other groups still end a batch interval.
+
+`running` contains `average`, `peak`, and `capturedHours`; timeline points include
+their own `capturedHours`. Report-level `matches` and each map row's `matches`
+contain `started`, `withRecordedPlayers`, `averageGroupSize`, `solo`, and
+`soloShare`. `withRecordedPlayers` is the denominator for the group average and
+solo share; `soloShare` is a percentage from 0 to 100. When that denominator is
+zero, `averageGroupSize` and `soloShare` are `null`, `solo` is zero, and `started`
+retains the recorded number of starts. Match scope uses the exact saved `game` and `map_name`
+labels, and its time window uses the saved `started_at` timestamp. Occupancy
+collection and evidence timestamps remain independent of match history.
+
+`players` contains the separately deduplicated range totals `uniquePlayers` and
+`newPlayers`, plus `historyStartAt` (the earliest retained match, in epoch
+milliseconds). Every `points` entry also has `uniquePlayers`, `newPlayers`, and
+`playerHistoryPartial`. Counts before retained history are `null`; known periods
+with no scoped participation are zero. Player charts treat either `partial` or
+`playerHistoryPartial` as partial. Participation timestamp changes and durable
+first-seen identity changes invalidate the report cache.
+
+Map rows expose `noEmpty`, `availabilityObserved`, and
+`availabilityUnknown` durations, plus current `policy` context and
+`noEmptyAtMaximum` / `noEmptyBelowMaximum` durations. `pooledAvailability` combines
+map durations and coverage. `autoscalingPaused` reports the current global pause
+separately from each policy's own `pausedReason`. Policy edits and global pause changes invalidate
+cached metrics reports, as do changes to the match and player participation data
+used by the report.
+
+`autoscaling` contains `added`, `removed`, `failed`, `cancelled`, `readinessSamples`,
+`readinessMeanSeconds`, and `readinessMaxSeconds`. Counts use `finished_at` in the
+selected window; readiness uses `finished_at - started_at` for successful creates
+with nonnegative, valid durations. Both timing values are `null` when there are
+no readiness samples. Changes to Provisioning outcomes or autoscaling source
+links invalidate cached reports, including when no new occupancy is collected.

+# Player moderation
+
+**Players → Moderation** provides player search, warnings, private messages,
+kicks, announcements, bans, mutes, case records and private history. Restrictions
+can cover a server, a game or the fleet. Saving a restriction records the policy;
+the coverage table shows whether game runtimes have synchronized it.
+
+## Access
+
+Administrators manage all moderation controls and configure integrations.
+Moderators can read private history, create notes/cases, send live actions, and
+issue server/game restrictions lasting at most seven days. They can revoke their
+own server/game restrictions originally lasting at most seven days. Applying or
+revoking permanent, longer or fleet restrictions, and revoking another staff
+member's restriction, require Administrator access. These limits also apply after
+an administrator becomes a Moderator. Super Viewers can inspect
+moderation but cannot change it. Operators and Viewers cannot read private
+moderation data. Moderator does not grant fleet operation, script, plugin,
+credential or account-management privileges.
+
+Assign Moderator through **Admin → Users**. Existing users retain their roles;
+changing a role revokes that user's sessions. Each service rechecks current
+authorization, including immediately before delivering a queued live action.
+
+## Player identity and restrictions
+
+Select a player from Moderation, a live scoreboard or a player profile. Search
+matches known aliases as well as GUIDs. A display name never identifies a
+restriction target. Manually entered GUIDs can have case records and restrictions
+before gameplay is observed; their first/last seen dates remain **Not recorded**.
+
+IDs remain strings. Numeric game IDs are normalized without losing precision;
+T6 RCON hexadecimal IDs have a separate conversion rule. Historical chat links
+search for the raw log identity because its encoding is not assumed. Confirm a
+known player identity before applying a restriction. Fleet restrictions require
+the same numeric account ID to have been observed in both games. Otherwise use
+game scope.
+
+Every restriction has a player-visible reason, optional private note, scope,
+expiry, creator and revision. Reasons and live messages must fit in 240 UTF-8
+bytes. The native adapter replaces console control characters in displayed text.
+Overlapping restrictions remain independent: revoking one mute does not cancel
+another active mute. Revocation requires a reason and the current revision;
+concurrent changes require refreshing before another decision.
+
+Server scope follows a logical server registration across instance replacement
+or rebuild. Deleting and later registering the same server name creates a new
+registration, which does not inherit the old server-scoped restriction.
+Game/fleet policies apply to every connected compatible runtime in that scope,
+including newly provisioned servers. A new runtime must synchronize before it
+has a complete policy; provisioning readiness alone does not prove moderation
+coverage. The initial limit is 1,000 active restrictions across the controller.
+
+## Enable the game integration
+
+The controller requires `EC_PUBLIC_URL` to be a public HTTPS origin. The host
+agent must advertise `moderation.configure` (agent 1.11.0+). Install the matching
+TWS moderation script 1.0.0, common 1.2.0+, and TWS native plugin 1.3.0+ from
+`tws-zombies-scripts` for each game. New native plugins require a full
+game-server process restart. Use the normal release/beta workflow and validate
+one T5 Zombies and one T6 Zombies instance before fleet rollout.
+
+New launches/rebuilds on capable agents receive a private moderation config when
+`EC_PUBLIC_URL` is configured. Existing instances can use **Enable integration**
+in Moderation. This queues a typed operation that writes the fixed private config
+and loads its dvars, without restarting gameplay. Existing startup persistence
+uses the verified private bank config; older instances without that bootstrap
+must be rebuilt. Installed moderation scripts retry missing configuration.
+
+The private file `configs/electric_cherry_moderation.cfg` contains the HTTPS
+endpoint, generation and a separate per-instance credential. It is excluded from
+shared artifacts, file reads, drift scans, logs and operation receipts. Game
+credentials are distinct from bank, telemetry and host credentials. They only
+authorize the active immutable instance generation; retirement/rebuild revokes
+the previous generation's access. Older agents retain ordinary server launches,
+but cannot provide this integration.
+
+Coverage states describe runtime communication:
+
+- **Policy current:** a fresh runtime supports both bans and mutes and has
+  acknowledged the current policy revision.
+- **Pending:** the runtime is connected but has not acknowledged the latest revision
+  or does not support both bans and mutes.
+- **Offline:** no runtime synchronization has arrived for more than 15 seconds.
+- **Unavailable:** this instance generation has not connected.
+
+Policy current is not proof that an engine mute command took effect. The runtime
+reports supported capabilities; unsupported live actions stay unavailable.
+Native kick/mute command behavior and voice/text suppression require testing on
+the deployed Plutonium build. A disconnected host cannot receive a new ban or
+revocation until it reconnects.
+
+## Live actions and offline enforcement
+
+Live actions expire after 30 seconds and target the runtime's exact player
+connection. A reconnect, reused slot, changed generation or revoked moderator
+access prevents stale dispatch. Browser retries preserve the request identity.
+The native adapter journals one-time actions before dispatch and never executes
+the same action ID twice, including after restart.
+
+Queued actions can become delivered, confirmed, failed, expired or unknown.
+An expired undelivered action did not run. Unknown means delivery occurred but
+the result could not be established; do not assume the action failed. A durable
+late receipt can resolve an unknown outcome. Confirmation of a message means
+server dispatch, not proof the recipient read it. Kick confirmation requires an
+observed disconnect.
+
+The native runtime caches the complete applicable policy on persistent storage,
+scoped to the server, endpoint, generation and credential fingerprint. Cached
+bans/mutes continue through controller outages and expire using the host clock.
+Keep host time synchronized. A ban disconnects a player after connecting; it is
+not a pre-authentication admission filter. The shared connection handler and a
+500 ms reconciliation loop enforce it, retrying still-connected banned players
+every five seconds. No native `ban.txt` entries are rewritten.
+
+Preserve `tws-moderation/t5/` or `tws-moderation/t6/` in the game working directory.
+The cache includes an increasing runtime session counter that prevents an older
+process from replacing the active player roster. Losing or rolling back this
+cache requires a generation rebuild with a new credential before synchronization
+can resume; re-enabling the same integration does not reset the counter.
+Corrupt caches and failed durable writes stop new actions and require operator
+investigation. A controller restored to an older policy revision cannot silently
+replace a newer cached revision; review the restore and integration before
+resetting its cache or credentials.
+
+## Cases, evidence and review
+
+Create a case for a report, investigation or appeal. Each case has a dedicated,
+shareable page with the player identity, evidence, staff notes, linked restrictions,
+and an activity timeline. These pages require moderation access. Give a case a
+priority and assign it to an eligible administrator or moderator. Filter the case
+queue by status, priority, or assignment; active cases appear first, ordered by
+priority and most recent update.
+
+Use **Change status** to move a case between **Open**, **In progress**, and
+**Closed**, recording a reason for each transition. Assignment is separate:
+a case can have an owner at any stage. To resume a closed case, change its status
+to Open or In progress. Evidence, assessments, actions, and earlier decisions
+remain in its history. Editing case details does not change its status.
+
+Existing closed outcomes are migrated to Closed. Previously escalated cases
+become In progress. Their previous statuses are recorded in history; existing
+decision reasons, action references, assignments, and follow-ups are preserved.
+
+Use **Edit assessment** to keep a concise current summary, list the applicable
+rules, and record a finding for each concern: hate speech, harassment, threats,
+safeguarding, spam, cheating, or another concern. Each finding is **Substantiated**,
+**Inconclusive**, or **Unsubstantiated**, with a short rationale. Findings describe
+the evidence; case status tracks whether work remains. Record the decision and
+its rationale in the assessment summary.
+Every saved assessment retains its author, timestamp, and complete previous
+revision. Assessments can be revised after closure without reopening the case.
+
+Before opening a case, review existing cases for the same game and GUID. A case
+also shows same-player candidates; a shared archived match is a useful potential
+duplicate signal, not a finding that two reports are identical. Link cases as
+**Same incident**, **Appeal of**, or **Duplicate of**, recording why they belong
+together. Same-incident links may include different players; appeals and duplicates
+must concern the same game and player. Links appear from both cases with their
+direction made explicit. Self-links and circular appeal/duplicate chains are
+rejected. Removing a mistaken relationship requires a reason and preserves its
+history. Relationship changes do not close or reopen either case.
+
+Schedule a follow-up using a date and time, or **Review when a linked mute expires**.
+Custom date entry uses your browser's local time; displayed dates follow your time
+zone preference. Reviews remain scheduled after a case closes or reopens. Use
+**Overdue reviews** to find due work across open and closed cases, and clear the
+follow-up with a reason when the review is complete.
+

+retains a bounded log tail (up to 2,000 lines / 256 KiB); it is not a full historical
+log import. Already saved case excerpts survive later source cleanup.

+Case decisions, edits, and restrictions check the current revision; refresh before

+The public Electric Cherry repository is the authority for both the installer

+
+The URL is built into the trusted installer and updater. Controller configuration,

+HTTPS certificates, rejects redirects and incomplete, empty or oversized key
+responses, and requests revalidation with `Cache-Control: no-cache`. It uses the

+
+Use a separate offline publisher machine with GnuPG. Keep the private key and its
+GnuPG home outside the checkout, Docker build context, controller, and CI. For
+example, create a dedicated signing key and inspect its full fingerprint:
+
+```sh
+ec_signing_home=/secure/electric-cherry-signing
+install -d -m 0700 "$ec_signing_home"
+gpg --homedir "$ec_signing_home" --quick-generate-key 'Electric Cherry Release Signing' ed25519 sign 2y
+gpg --homedir "$ec_signing_home" --list-keys --with-fingerprint
+```
+
+Protect the key with a passphrase and keep its backup and revocation certificate
+outside release artifacts. Set the full fingerprint of the signing key, then
+export only its public key into the reviewed checkout:
+
+```sh
+ec_signing_fingerprint=REPLACE_WITH_FULL_SIGNING_KEY_FINGERPRINT
+gpg --homedir "$ec_signing_home" --export "$ec_signing_fingerprint" > agent/release-signing.gpg
+```
+
+Inspect the export with `gpg --show-keys --with-fingerprint agent/release-signing.gpg`
+and confirm the expected publisher fingerprint. Commit and publish that public
+file to the repository's `main` branch before enrolling hosts or releasing code
+signed by this key. Never export secret keys into the repository. A YubiKey-held
+signing key works with the same workflow: export its public certificate from your
+GnuPG home and use the full signing key/subkey fingerprint with the signer. Keep

+
+```sh
+npm run agent:package
+python3 agent/sign_release.py --gnupghome "$ec_signing_home" --fingerprint "$ec_signing_fingerprint"
+```
+
+The signer defaults to `static/agent`; `--release-dir` selects another packaged
+release directory. It checks that the manifest matches the agent, updater and
+installer bytes, then produces the ASCII-armored detached `manifest.json.sig`.
+The manifest records their SHA-256 hashes as `sha256`, `updaterSha256`, and
+`installerSha256`, along with version, platform and protocol metadata. The
+installer hash lets recipients check a publisher-distributed installer against
+the authenticated manifest before running it.

+Commit or distribute the finalized `static/agent` public artifacts together,

+manifest remains byte-for-byte identical and removes it after any covered source
+change. Repackage, review and sign again after such a change. Unsigned builds can
+run the controller, but hosts fail closed and leave their installed code intact.
+
+### Signing-key rotation and removal
+
+Review new fingerprints on the publisher workstation, then replace
+`agent/release-signing.gpg` on the repository's `main` branch. Every host uses the
+new keyring on its next update check; no host visits or controller changes are
+needed. For a planned transition, export both approved public keys into this file,
+publish the combined keyring, then publish releases signed by the new key. Remove
+the retired key once the controller serves the new signatures. Checks already in
+progress use the keyring they fetched at the start of that check.
+
+For a compromised key, remove it from the repository keyring immediately and
+publish releases signed by a replacement key. Hosts with the refreshed keyring
+reject the old signer even if the controller still serves its release. Publishing
+a revocation certificate or allowing a key to expire is insufficient: [GnuPG's
+`gpgv` documentation](https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/gpgv.html)
+states that it does not check key expiration or revocation. Keep the keyring's
+contents restricted to currently trusted keys. Removing all keys blocks new
+installations and updates; it does not stop or remove already installed agents.

+
+### AFK journals during server teardown
+
+Install agent **1.12.0+** before enabling [persistent AFK reserves](afk.md).
+The `afk.settlement` capability adds stopped-process recovery for
+`tws-afk/t5/` and `tws-afk/t6/` journals. The agent uses its enrolled controller
+and assigned unfinished teardown operation at `/api/agent/afk/settle`.
+Journal endpoints must match the fixed public AFK endpoint; they never control
+the destination of an agent request.
+
+Removal, rebuild and creation cancellation preserve runtime files until every
+decision is acknowledged. Prepared sessions that never activated return their
+reservation; confirmed stops retain their original elapsed seconds and IDs.
+Active sessions interrupted by a crash become unresolved, retaining their
+checkpoint and balance hold for administrator reconciliation. The agent does
+not invent a duration from the time of its next heartbeat. Pending purchase or
+reward requests only retrieve existing receipts during teardown; they cannot
+create new spending after the game stopped. Corrupt, oversized, symlinked or
+unacknowledged journals block runtime deletion.
