//! Is the backend reachable at the port its service record advertises? — the
//! half [`collate_workspace_ingress`](crate::validate::collate_workspace_ingress)
//! deliberately cannot answer (R844-F16).
//!
//! **Read [§What this does not prove](#what-this-does-not-prove) before
//! treating a green result as a deploy gate.** That question is narrower than
//! "does the front door work", and on 2026-09-03 the difference took yah.dev
//! down for four minutes.
//!
//! `yah cloud ingress collate` is pure: no network, no credentials. That purity
//! is load-bearing — it is what lets `xtask/tests/mirror_ingress.rs` plan this
//! camp's real `.yah/services/` tree as a unit test — but it means the
//! `100.64.0.3:8080` it prints is an **echo of declarations**: the mirror's
//! `upstream_host` pin, or since R844-F12 the placement machine's declared
//! `[registration].mesh_ipv4`. Collate attests that the mirrors *cohere*. It
//! has never attested that anything answers.
//!
//! That distinction is not academic in this repo. The apex's `upstream_host`
//! was once left at `127.0.0.1` after a second front door existed, and collate
//! rendered it exactly as confidently as it renders a correct one — for the
//! nineteen days the site was frozen.
//!
//! ## Four claims, and this module measures only the third
//!
//! | claim | evidence | who says it |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | "the mirrors agree on what fronts what" | the declaration tree | `collate` |
//! | "a ready record exists for it" | `GET /service-records?ready=true` | [`ServiceRecordFanout`] |
//! | "that record's address answers" | a TCP connect | **this module** |
//! | "the front door is configured to dial it" | an HTTPS GET of the hostname, compared against the backend | **this module**, [`apply_public_path`] (R844-F18) |
//!
//! The second is *yubaba's opinion*, and R844-B11 is the proof it can be wrong
//! while looking right: us-west-001 advertised `100.64.0.3:4325` as `Ready`
//! while the workload answered on `100.64.0.1:4325`. The record was healthy,
//! the record's own address refused connections, and every layer above it
//! reported success. A connect is the only step that can catch that, because it
//! is the only step that asks the world instead of asking a declaration.
//!
//! ## What this does not prove
//!
//! **Updated by R844-F18 — the gap this section describes is now closed by
//! [`apply_public_path`], and the history below is why that check exists and
//! what it is still not.** [`verify_collation`] alone proves **the backend is
//! reachable at the port the record advertises**; on its own it never proves
//! **the front door is configured to dial that port**. Those two coincide only
//! while a pin forces them to — so that pass is *weakest in exactly the
//! portless configuration it was built to certify*.
//!
//! That is not a theoretical gap. R844-T10 deleted the apex's `port` pin on the
//! strength of a green run from this verb, on 2026-09-03:
//!
//! * kamaji allocated a **new** port for the redeployed workload — 34759;
//! * the service record correctly advertised 34759;
//! * this verb dialed 34759, found it open, and printed
//! *"2 rule(s) … 2 proven to serve, 0 not"*;
//! * the public got **HTTP 503** for four minutes, because the running passway
//! was still configured for 8080 and **nothing reconfigures it**.
//!
//! So the verb reported success during the live outage it was built to prevent.
//! The prior measurement that authorised the edit was green for a reason that
//! did not survive a real deploy: it stripped the pins from a *copy* of the
//! config while the old workload was still bound to 8080, which is the one
//! arrangement in which the record and the front door cannot disagree.
//!
//! This is [`collate`]'s own limitation one level up — collate attests
//! coherence and not reachability; a dial attests reachability of a *record*,
//! and not that the front door agrees with that record.
//!
//! [`apply_public_path`] closes it by traversing the **public path** and
//! comparing: it fetches the publish beacon
//! ([`publish_beacon`](crate::reconciler::publish_beacon)) from
//! `https://<hostname>/` and from each discovered backend, and fails the rule
//! when the two serve different publishes. A bare `GET /` would not have done —
//! a door pointed at the wrong backend answers 200 with a plausible page, which
//! is how the apex stayed frozen for nineteen days. The beacon is the only
//! object on either side that says *which publish this is*.
//!
//! **Two things that check is still not.** It is a **detector of the current
//! state**, not a simulation of a pending edit — run it before and after an
//! apply and require both green. And the public fetch goes wherever **DNS**
//! sends it, so a hostname on two front doors is measured at one of them; the
//! verdict says so in a note rather than implying it covered both.
//!
//! **So: a green [`verify_collation`] alone is necessary, not sufficient. Do
//! not use it without the public-path pass as the gate on removing a pin.**
//!
//! [`collate`]: crate::validate::collate_workspace_ingress
//!
//! ## Why this is a separate verb and not a flag on `collate`
//!
//! Because the purity above is the feature. A `--live` flag would put a network
//! read inside the function eleven offline tests call, and the pressure to make
//! those tests pass would then push the network read towards being optional in
//! a way that silently degrades. A sibling verb costs nothing that flag would
//! not cost more.
//!
//! ## Pure, like everything else on this seam
//!
//! Nothing here opens a socket. The caller does the fanout read and the dial,
//! and hands both in as data — the fifth instance of the shape
//! [`resolve_ingress_placements`](crate::reconciler::resolve_ingress_placements),
//! [`IngressPlan::resolve_upstreams`], [`IngressPlan::resolve_ports`] and
//! [`IngressPlan::resolve_upstreams_from_config`] already use. So the verdict
//! logic — which is where the interesting mistakes live — is unit-testable
//! against a fake fleet with no network at all.
//!
//! ## A subset renders like a success, so a subset is a failure
//!
//! The failure class this whole relay exists to remove is a partial answer that
//! looks complete. A rule placed on two nodes that resolves one address is
//! *half a front door*: it renders, it dials, it serves — and half the fleet's
//! traffic capacity is silently absent. [`RuleVerdict`] therefore fails a rule
//! whose resolved backends do not cover its whole declared placement, and names
//! the node that went missing along with why.

That may still be enough — run it before and after an apply and require both green — but say so explicitly rather than letting a future reader assume it gates the edit. The failure that started this was precisely someone (twice) treating a green from the wrong vantage point as authorisation.")
//! @yah:next("A SHAPE FOR THIS, from @Ashguard:griffin (session:75f87e36, the session that caused the outage behind it) — offered as a starting point, not a settled design. The open question on this ticket is whether an HTTPS GET is a pre-flight GATE or only an outage DETECTOR. I think it is only ever a detector, and that the ticket is really TWO checks answering two different questions:\n\n 1. PRE-FLIGHT, and it is not a probe at all — it is a COMPARISON. Read what the front door is actually configured to dial, FROM THE DOOR, and compare it against what the service record says the backend is. That is the check that would have caught tonight's outage BEFORE it happened, because the two disagreed (passway held 8080, the record advertised 34759) at a moment when every probe of either side in isolation was green. Note what makes it different from R844-F16's verify: verify reads the record and dials the port the record names, so both of its inputs come from the same side of the disagreement. The door's own configured value is the input nobody currently reads, and it is the only one that makes the comparison possible.\n\n 2. POST-CONDITION, which is where the HTTPS GET belongs — an unauthenticated GET of the public hostname through the real front door, asserted AFTER an apply, once R844-B19 guarantees the door has actually been repointed. Today that assertion cannot be trusted to mean anything, because B19's ordering bug means the door may never have been updated at all; the GET would just be re-measuring the old configuration and calling it a pass.\n\nWHY THIS PAIRS F18 WITH B19 RATHER THAN DUPLICATING IT: B19 makes the front-door update reliably HAPPEN; (2) is the assertion that it DID; (1) is the only one of the three that can speak before a change is applied. Sequencing follows from that — do not land (2) before B19, or it encodes today's broken ordering as the expected one.\n\nTHE CAVEAT I CANNOT RESOLVE AND WHOEVER TAKES THIS SHOULD NOT ASSUME AWAY: even (1) compares two CURRENT states. It does not simulate what a config change is about to do, which is what we actually wanted to know tonight. It catches an existing divergence, and it would catch this specific class because the divergence appears the moment the workload is redeployed — but it is not a general \"is this edit safe\" oracle, and nothing in this design is. If someone needs that, it is a different and much larger ticket, and it should be filed as one rather than smuggled in here.")
//! @yah:handoff("LANDED. `yah cloud ingress verify` now takes the fourth step, on by default. For every hostname in the collation it fetches `https://<hostname>/.well-known/yah-publish.json`, for every discovered backend it fetches the same object over the mesh, and it FAILS the rule when the two name different publishes. Verdict logic is `apply_public_path` in oss/yubaba/crates/cloud/src/reconciler/ingress_verify.rs, pure like the rest of that seam — the CLI does both fetches and hands them in as `PublicReadings`, so the interesting mistakes are unit-testable against a fake fleet. New surface: `BeaconFetch`, `PublicReadings`, `apply_public_path`, three `VerifyFinding` arms, `fetch_beacon` and `--skip-public` in app/yah/cli/src/cloud.rs.")
//! @yah:handoff("THE COMPARISON IS THE CONTENT, NOT THE GET — this is the design decision, and the ticket title's \\\"HTTPS GET\\\" understates it. A bare `GET /` proves only that something answered: a door pointed at the wrong backend returns 200 with a plausible page, which is exactly how the apex stayed frozen for nineteen days with every signal green. The publish beacon (`publish_beacon.rs`, `BEACON_KEY = .well-known/yah-publish.json`, R703-B4) is the one object on either side of the door that says WHICH PUBLISH THIS IS, so fetching it from both and comparing digests is what turns \\\"something answered\\\" into \\\"the front door is serving the backend the records name\\\". Reused rather than invented — the object already exists, `mesofact serve` already answers it out of the bundle, and R2 static publishes already write it.")
//! @yah:handoff("THE TICKET'S OWN OPEN QUESTION — GATE OR DETECTOR — ANSWERED, AND ANSWERED THE WAY ITS FILER EXPECTED: **detector**, and the code says so in its own output rather than leaving a reader to infer it. `apply_public_path`'s doc, the CLI `--help`, the summary line printed on every run, W267 and the service-toml guide all now carry the same sentence: it compares two CURRENT states, cannot simulate an edit you have not applied, and the protocol is run-before-and-after-and-require-both-green. That is enough for the failure it was built for — the divergence appears the moment the workload is redeployed onto a new port — and it is deliberately NOT sold as an \\\"is this edit safe\\\" oracle. @Ashguard:griffin's caveat on this ticket was right and is preserved as the design, not assumed away.")
//! @yah:handoff("GRIFFIN'S PART (1), THE PRE-FLIGHT \\\"READ THE DOOR'S OWN CONFIG AND COMPARE\\\", IS NOT WHAT SHIPPED — say so plainly rather than letting the ticket read as fully covered. Their shape proposed reading what passway is CONFIGURED to dial, from the door, and comparing that against the record. This ships the equivalent comparison one layer out: what the door ACTUALLY SERVES versus what the backend serves. Why that substitution rather than the config read: the running passway holds its upstreams in container env (`PASSWAY_UPSTREAMS`, `PASSWAY_UPSTREAM_SOURCE=static` — oss/passway/crates/passway/src/main.rs), so reading it means an SSH or a docker inspect per door, i.e. credentials and a shell on a production box inside a read-only verb. The served comparison needs neither, catches the same divergence class (it is true exactly when the door is dialing something else), and additionally catches a stale edge cache, which a config read cannot see. What the config read would still buy is naming WHY they diverge; that is a genuinely separable ticket and is not smuggled in here.")
//! @yah:handoff("A FAILURE IS ONLY A FAILURE WHEN SOMETHING WAS ACTUALLY COMPARED — the design care, and the thing a careless version of this gets wrong in the direction that matters. Three arms produce a NOTE and leave the rule clean rather than a finding: a hostname that answers 200 with no beacon (it fronts something that is not a mesofact publish — a limit on the check, not a fault of the host, and failing it would red every non-bundle hostname in the fleet); a public 200 with no comparable backend (the note says verbatim that this proves the hostname is up and NOT that it is fronting the discovered backend); and a hostname nobody measured. Two arms fail: a transport failure, and a non-2xx. One arm is the point: `PublicBackendDivergence`, which names both digests and the backend address it compared against. And a backend that answers without a beacon adds nothing — `verify_collation` already dialed it and said what it found, so a second opinion phrased as an error would double-count one fact.")
//! @yah:gotcha("THE LIMIT I COULD NOT DESIGN AWAY, AND DID NOT HIDE: the public fetch goes wherever DNS sends it, so a hostname published through two front doors is measured at ONE of them and this pass cannot say which. A divergence affecting only the other door reads as clean. Every verdict for such a hostname carries a note saying so — but only once a comparison actually happened, since on a rule where nothing could be compared that note is noise stacked on the finding. Closing it needs a fetch pinned to each door's public address with a `Host` override, which needs a public IP per door that nothing in the `Collation` carries today.

The other seven cover the stale-serve shape (200 serving a different digest than the backend), a transport failure, a hostname with no beacon, a public 200 with nothing to compare, an unmeasured hostname, a hostname on two doors, and the fully-clean case where the two digests match and NOTHING is caveated.
