First full run on the KVM host surfaced three harness bugs and two stale image URLs; all fixed here. Harness bugs: - Liveness probe used `bot-bottle --version`, which the CLI does not implement (unknown args die non-zero) — so every SUCCESSFUL install was misreported as "no runnable entry point". Switched to `bot-bottle --help`, which exits 0 before any DB/migration/network work. - cmd_down never removed serial.log, so its rmdir failed and every run left an orphan scratch dir behind. Added serial.log to the cleanup. - The teardown trap was armed AFTER cmd_up, but cmd_up's wait_for_ssh can fail with QEMU already running (a guest that never opens SSH) — leaking the VM. Arm the trap before cmd_up. Stale image URLs: - Fedora 41 is EOL and 404s; bumped to Fedora 44 (44-1.7). - Alpine bumped to 3.21.7; its cloud images ship a .sha512 only (this verifier is sha256), so SUM_URL is now empty (skip) with a note. Validated on delphi (QEMU 11.0.2): ubuntu/fedora/arch pass BOTH test and test-ready. Alpine (cloud-init seed not applied → no SSH) and NixOS (no upstream cloud qcow2) remain blocked on image provisioning, documented in the research note as follow-ups.

Docs
How this project records what it builds and why — and a guide to picking the right document for what you're capturing.
When to write which document
| Artifact | For |
|---|---|
Design workflow (docs/design-workflow.md) |
How discussion becomes canonical design, how dependencies are recorded, and when implementation may begin. |
Glossary (docs/glossary.md) |
Canonical term definitions — what words mean in this project. |
PRD (docs/prds/) |
A feature: what to build, scope, success criteria. |
Research note (docs/research/) |
A landscape/tradeoff investigation. |
Decision record (docs/decisions/) |
A decision that isn't itself a feature — a policy, a convention, a "we will / won't do this," or a load-bearing choice made inside a larger PRD that deserves to be discoverable on its own. |
A decision that's fully specified by a PRD doesn't need duplicating in a decision record. Write one when the decision would otherwise be buried in prose, lost in an issue thread, or have no in-repo home at all (small requests that don't merit a PRD; non-feature choices like merge strategy or a trust posture).
