Two recorded runs against PROD (CONF_ENV=prod, context k3s-prod):
20260913T014321Z-19fc8bc egress-class-render (L1) proven
20260913T014437Z-19fc8bc vpn-killswitch (L3) proven, but git_sha -dirty
The L3 run PASSED for real on prod — every declared sentinel present
(NS_PRIVILEGED_OK, TUNNEL_HEALTHY_OK, NO_LEAK_OK, INTERNET_UNAFFECTED_OK,
TUNNEL_SELF_HEAL_OK, TUNNEL_RECOVERED_OK), tunnel stopped 01:44:48Z and
recovered unaided by 01:46:25Z.
Its row is nevertheless NOT usable as proof: git_sha carries `-dirty`, so
status.py's ancestry check cannot resolve it and the row degrades to
stale-proof. Cause is a harness flaw, not the cluster:
lib/record_run.py's git_sha() ignores UNTRACKED files (so a run's own
runs/<id>/ does not mark it dirty) but conformance/runs/ledger.jsonl is
TRACKED — so the FIRST --record run of a session appends a row, dirties the
tree, and every SUBSEQUENT --record run in that same session is stamped
-dirty. Recording one test poisons the proof of the next.
Committed as-is rather than rewritten: the ledger is append-only and this is
honest evidence of a real run. A clean re-run follows and supersedes it by
latest-wins (lib/status.py latest_by_test).
