"why": "Stripe billing go-live box work (Claude session over the operator tunnel + Paul's own terminal): verified fleet convergence on the new build; found the control binary had self-downgraded onto a pre-self-update stable build (bake-expiry trap — guard tracked in issue #1117) and restored it from the staged version store via a lingering root console tty left by the 2026-07-15 rescue session (tty closed after; ufw/sshd posture unchanged); ran the first live sibling-service converge (connect/push/home all healthy with rollbacks kept); deployed + pinned chat.paulca.com twice (the second carrying the account-id fix, recycled via the hibernate off/on toggle); removed two stale /data leftovers. Session ended with the space's Stripe account linked live.",
