Root cause of "asks permission but never acts": the approved pct_create
execution failed to parse because the LLM emitted `"privileged":0` /
`"nesting":1` (numbers) into strict `bool` fields, so the container was
never created. Compounded by a hardcoded template name (debian-13.0-1)
that no longer exists on the host, and no way for the agent to read the web.
- flexBool: accept 0/1, "true", bool for privileged/nesting (the exact prod failure)
- pct_create template pre-flight: list host cache, validate/auto-pick newest debian
- pct_create services[] + post_install: one approval provisions a working service
- new http_get MCP tool (sanitized, size-capped, SSRF-guarded) — agent can read repos/sites
- request_execution description: target=host, full JSON schema + example
- SOUL.md: agent CAN fetch the web; prefer one-step provisioning
- default model deepseek-v4-flash -> v4-pro; maxIterations 15 -> 25
- unit tests for flexBool, template resolve, pkg sanitize, HTML sanitize + SSRF block
Verified live on host:strong with a throwaway VMID 999: template auto-resolved,
container created + booted, services installed, post_install ran, then destroyed.

- InsertMetricSample now includes ts=now() (TimescaleDB hypertable requires it)
- ssh-script: pass host and port separately (ssh uses -p flag, not host:port)
- ssh-script: use OIKOS_SSH_USER from config/env, default root
- Add -o LogLevel=ERROR to suppress SSH warnings polluting JSON output
- Use Output() (stdout only) instead of CombinedOutput()
- Set OIKOS_SSH_USER=root in scheduler docker-compose service
- Switch Dockerfile from distroless/static to alpine:3.21
- Install openssh-client-default in runtime image
- Mount SSH key in scheduler service (docker-compose)
- Add NET_RAW capability for ping checks
- Wire OIKOS_SSH_KEY_PATH and OIKOS_SSH_USER env vars in scheduler
- sshExec uses configured key path with StrictHostKeyChecking=no
- phase3.go: RequestExecution now calls InsertEntity before InsertExecution
(executions.entity_id references entities.id via FK constraint).
- mcp/server.go: request_execution MCP tool same fix — inserts entities row
with slug 'exec:<target>:<id8>' before executions insert.
- docker-compose.yml: fix seed OIKOS_SEEDS_DIR from /app/seeds to /seeds
(distroless image COPY destination).
Review of aa2ca0a found and fixed:
- re-ingest duplicated ALL edges (upsert conflicted on valid_from=now(),
never fired) — migration 007 dedupes + partial unique index on current
edges; upsert now targets it. Regression-tested.
- export was a stub that overwrote seeds/*.yaml with 11-byte "version: 1"
files — implemented real deterministic export (ontology/inventory/policy,
cognition-layer excluded); round-trip is byte-stable (tested)
- DB password leaked in startup logs (slog JSON bypasses String()) —
Config now implements slog.LogValuer; regression-tested
- docker-compose had literal '***' as DB password — env-interpolated
- uuid.New() (v4) → uuid.NewV7() per ADR-0005
- no ontology validation on ingest — internal/ontology TypeTree: abstract
instantiation rejected, relationship endpoints hierarchy-validated,
cardinality enforced in-transaction, lifecycle states checked, default
state applied (Phase 1 gate items, R3-1)
- getOrCreateEntityID swallowed non-ErrNoRows errors
- migration runner now holds a session advisory lock on one connection
- Makefile: hardcoded /opt/homebrew/bin/go → go; test-db target
Tests: 4 unit suites + 7 integration tests (env-guarded, throwaway DB per
run): migrate idempotent, seed idempotent + no dup edges, abstract/edge/
cardinality rejection, blast_radius cycle termination, export round-trip.
