Plan 1 copy review: the new sentences on design-self-serve-offline-moves open

On branch design-self-serve-offline-moves

Paul, these are every new user-facing sentence plan 1 added (console answers and the cutover door). The nine from the plan were approved on 2026-10-22; the rest are new and need your eye. Two carry a capital T that the voice rule says should be lower case; I left them as written for you to rule.

Approved in the plan (Task 3):

  • another change to this instance is still settling. try again in a minute
  • could not confirm the instance was created. check again in a minute
  • could not confirm the hostname was attached. check again in a minute
  • could not confirm the copy was started. check again in a minute
  • could not confirm the upload was stored. check again in a minute
  • this hostname cannot be created again on this deployment
  • could not read the app. try again
  • the app is in the trash
  • the app changed. try again

New, Task 0 (cutover door and gate):

  • the console is switching on instance lifetimes. try again in a minute
  • the console is starting. try again in a minute
  • this console runs host claims; lifetimes are not for it
  • the cutover marker exists but cannot be read. repair control/lifetimes-cutover.json by hand
  • could not write the cutover marker. Try again. (capital T)
  • the fleet's edges files could not all be read. try again

New, Task 4 (delete door and box floor):

  • the instance changed while it was being deleted. check it and try again
  • could not confirm the instance was deleted. check again in a minute
  • box <label> does not publish lifetimes-1; every box must run this release before the cutover
  • box <label> has not reported in 10 minutes
  • could not confirm box <label>. Try again in a minute. (capital T, adapted from seedfloor's wording)
  • box <label> regressed below the lifetimes floor (hourly page, operator log)

New, docs (docs/site/cli.md, the lifetimes cutover section): the rollout paragraphs, including the final-review additions that an older box must never be started, restarted or rolled back once the marker exists, and the note on the roll window.

Reply with approvals or rewrites; I will apply them as one commit.

Paul approved every sentence above on 2026-10-24, taking the recommendation on the two with a capital T: both are lower-cased ("could not write the cutover marker. try again", "could not confirm box <label>. try again in a minute"). Being applied as one commit on design-self-serve-offline-moves with the copy record updated; this thread closes when it lands.
