runStagedApplySteps re-checks ctx BETWEEN staged-apply steps, and its own comment says why: a step that swallows a context.Canceled into a warning must not let the loop go on applying later sensitive steps on a system the operator already aborted. The PVE step is one step, and none of its seven arms looked at ctx, so after an abort it still wrote datacenter.cfg and vzdump.cron straight into pmxcfs (cluster-wide) and still pushed storage definitions through pvesh. The gate now lives in one place. applyArm runs one arm behind a ctx re-check and records the failure with the per-arm wording, unchanged; an abort stops the remaining arms and returns ctx.Err() rather than the failedItems aggregate, so input.IsAborted matches it and the run ends as aborted instead of "completed with warnings". A first check sits before the root gate so nothing is inspected after an abort either. Two tests: the cancelled restore returns context.Canceled and leaves pmxcfs untouched, and an AST assertion pins that every *FromStage arm is reached through applyArm. The behavioural test can only cover the first gate (the arms sit behind a root check this suite cannot pass), so the shape assertion is what keeps an eighth arm from being added as a bare `if err := applyX(...)`.
personalScriptDiagnosticFromRuntime declared a local named "components" in a file that imports internal/ui/components. It compiles only because the function never reaches for the package, and the next line added to it that does would fail on a name that looks correct. Renamed to pathComponents, with the reason on the declaration.
The Log levels table already records that the threshold is a console filter since 0.34.0, but an operator whose wrapper gates on exit codes reads the Exit Codes section, and that section did not say the interaction had changed. A warning raised under --log-level error used to be dropped before the counters and the run exited 0; it is now counted and promotes the run to 1 on the same hosts.
The set fallback strips --storage and --type, so a staged block carrying nothing else reached pveshSetStorageDroppingCreateOnly with an empty argument list. It ran `pvesh set /storage/<id>` with no option anyway, the live node refuses that, and applyStorageCfg counted the block as a failure - for a definition that already matched everything the restore could change. The helper now returns (changed, err). It sends nothing and succeeds when there is no settable key, which is the entry-point twin of the len(trimmed) == 0 case it already handled inside the loop, and both log the reason at Debug rather than passing silently. changed also fixes the second half: both no-send shapes used to be announced as "Updated existing storage definition", claiming a write that never happened. They now say the definition already matches every settable key, and still count as applied. Not fixed here, still open in the same function: the retry bound reads the SHRINKING args, so `attempt <= len(args)` runs out of attempts before it converges once more than half the keys are refused (nfs with server + export + content is enough), and the real pvesh error is then replaced by "did not converge".
runDashboardDaemonStatus leaves cfg nil when the config file cannot be loaded, and inspectPersonalScripts read that as two empty settings. The daemon-status screen then stated two falsehoods about a daemon that was fine: the current side rendered NOT CONFIGURED, which asserts the operator left both settings empty, and the comparison measured the running daemon's real config path against "" and answered OUT OF SYNC with "restart the daemon to apply current personal-script configuration". The remedy it named could not have worked; the file was the problem. The sibling screen already refuses to gloss this - runDashboardDaemonAdmin renders CONFIG UNREADABLE - so the status screen names it too. A nil config now yields the unknown state with one shared reason, and the comparison checks the current side FIRST: with nothing to compare against, no synchronization statement is available whatever the daemon is doing. Both renderers name the new state instead of falling through to their NOT CONFIGURED arm, and personalScriptDiagnosticFromRuntime still rejects it, because unknown is the reader's verdict about a missing config and never a state a running daemon can publish. Still discarded at the call site: the underlying load error. The screen says the configuration could not be read, not why.
The unknown current-script verdict said only that the configuration could not be read, which leaves the operator with no file to go and fix. runDashboardDaemonStatus is the one caller that reaches the collector without a config, and it is the one that holds the loader's error, so it now hands it over instead of dropping it on the floor. collectDaemonDiagnostics takes cfgErr next to cfg, kept separate on purpose: a caller that never attempted a load passes nil for both, and runDaemonStatus does exactly that because the run bootstrap already exited on an unreadable config. unknownPersonalScripts is the single builder of the verdict, so the two ways in - a nil config and a caller with the cause - cannot word it differently.
The fallback existed for one failure: the update schema refusing a key filterGuestCreateOnlyArgs did not know to drop, where the staged conf file is the fidelity net. It fired on ANY pvesh set error instead. No quorum, permission denied, a 500 from a payload the API understood - each one led to the staged bytes being written into pmxcfs verbatim, cluster-wide. The API's rejection is the only validation those bytes ever get, so a fallback on every error is exactly how an invalid conf lands on every node. pveshSchemaRefusal separates the two from the shapes measured on PVE 9.1.9: "Parameter verification failed" / "property is not defined in schema" for a refused payload, "Unknown option:" / "unable to parse option" for a refused key. It reads both the error and the output because the reason lands on either depending on the endpoint, which is also why runPvesh gained an output-returning sibling. This narrows a deliberate decision: TestStoppedGuestFallsBackToTheConfFile said "fails for any reason" in as many words. Narrowed on the maintainer's explicit instruction (2026-09-05). The fake grew schemaRefuseSet next to failSet so the two shapes are testable apart, the four fallback-path tests moved to it, and a new test pins that a 500 never reaches the file and never even probes the status.
0.35.0 accepts a foreign-owned ancestor as an administrator trust decision, and SECURITY.md described that decision without ever saying what makes it survivable. The per-run gate is what holds it: openPersonalScriptForExecution opens the final component O_NOFOLLOW, validates the OPENED inode, and execs /proc/self/fd/3, so a pathname swapped after the check cannot change the inode that runs. Its whole strength is the ownership check, and that check has exactly one bypass - the ancestor owner cannot chown to root, but they could hard-link an existing root-owned executable into the name. fs.protected_hardlinks=1 forbids that; with it at 0 the check stops nothing. The advisory now carries the setting's live value in the same reason string as the ownership warning, so the operator reads the dependency instead of inferring it. Not a policy change: the path stays enabled either way, as decided. SECURITY.md gains the per-run gate, the sysctl dependency, and the two limits worth stating - OpenFileUnderRoot roots at the parent so an ancestor symlink swap is still possible (it just cannot make a non-root-owned file pass), and the check is per-run, so it proves nothing about later runs.
Measured on the live PVE 9.1.9 test node on 2026-09-05, with the locale as the only variable: baseline rc=0 stdout=548B stderr=0B parse OK LC_ALL=xx_YY.UTF-8 rc=0 stdout=548B stderr=548B parse FAILED pvesh exits 0 and writes intact JSON to stdout either way; Perl writes "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." to stderr. CombinedOutput merges them, the bytes handed to json.Unmarshal start with 'p', and the parse fails. loadPVEGuestInventory answers that with failed = len(entries), so EVERY guest config is refused; a failed pveshGuestStatus skips the conf-file fallback for the guest it was probing. Reachability, checked on the same node rather than assumed: sshd_config ships the stock `AcceptEnv LANG LC_*`, only 4 locales are generated, and macOS Terminal forwards LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 by default - which reproduces it on its own. An operator running a restore over ssh from a Mac is the whole setup. osCommandRunner grows RunStdout, reached through the same optional-capability shape runRestoreCommandStream already uses, so no test fake has to grow a method. On failure stderr is folded into the error, because that is where pvesh puts its reason; on success it is dropped, which is the point. Run is untouched: its callers read their output, and nine availability gates depend on its ErrWaitDelay translation. Same family, NOT fixed here: other pvesh readers in this package parse output that still comes from Run. They need the same census before being moved.
… as schema refusals Two defects in the same retry, one old and one mine. The bound `attempt <= len(args)` measured the SHRINKING slice, so the attempts ran out before convergence as soon as more than half the keys were refused. `nfs: id / server / export / content` reaches it: 3 settable keys, 2 create-only, 2 attempts allowed against the 3 needed. The storage was then reported as "the set fallback did not converge" - a message that also replaced pvesh's real error - on a definition the retry would have applied. The bound is now taken once, before the loop. Verified by mutation: reverting the condition fails the new test with that exact message. pveshSchemaRefusal, added in 7ab678e, listed "parameter verification failed" as a marker. PVE opens VALUE errors with the same sentence - "400 Parameter verification failed. cores: value does not match the regex pattern" - and that means the staged conf carries a value the API rejects. Since the API's rejection is the only validation those bytes ever get, matching it would have written exactly the conf PVE had just refused into pmxcfs, cluster-wide: the harm the commit was written to stop. Narrowed to the key-absent phrasings, with the value error pinned as a negative case.
0.35.0 dropped the UpgradeAutoYes arm from shouldRunWhatsnewAfterUpgrade on the reading that the flag "controls only the initial confirmation", leaving the terminal check to decide alone. It cannot: a pty is routinely allocated where no human is watching - `ssh -tt`, Ansible with a pty, `script -c` - so isTerminalInteractive() is true there, and the child opened by runWhatsnewAfterUpgrade then waits for a keypress until whatsnewScreenTimeout, which is 10 minutes. That is 10 minutes added to every SUCCESSFUL automated upgrade, at the end, after the binary is already in place. Auto-yes is the operator stating nobody will answer prompts, so it has to mean that for this prompt too. The cost is accepted and stated in the comment: someone typing `--upgrade y` at a real terminal no longer gets the notes opened for them, and `proxsave --show-whatsnew` renders them on demand. The doctrine row in TestShouldRunWhatsnewAfterUpgrade flips with it.
filterGuestCreateOnlyArgs knows two create-only keys by name while the storage arm reads them from pvesh's own refusal. Two opposite doctrines in one file, and the hardcoded one drifts silently: the set schema varies by PVE version, so a third create-only key appearing costs the WHOLE config apply on a guest the conf file cannot rescue - a running one, where the file must not win (2026-09-02). The retry is now shared. pveshSetDroppingRefusedKeys is one implementation of "the refusal is the authoritative list", used by both arms; pveshSetStorageDroppingCreateOnly is a thin wrapper over it. pveshRefusedKeyFrom names the key across the two measured shapes - "Unknown option: <key>" on the storage endpoint, "Parameter verification failed. <key>: property is not defined in schema" on the guest one - and reads the second ONLY when the message says the property is absent, because PVE opens value errors with the same sentence and dropping the key there would discard a staged value the operator asked to restore. The hardcoded list stays as a PREFILTER, not as the mechanism: `meta:` is on every VM created since PVE 7.2, so dropping it up front saves a round trip on every guest of every restore. Composition with the decisions already taken, stated so it can be vetoed: a stopped guest still gets the conf file, unchanged, because full fidelity is available there. Running or status-unknown now retries through the API without the refused keys instead of failing, so the guest loses that key rather than every key, and the dropped names are logged at WARNING - a partial apply reported as a plain success would be the same silence this arm exists to remove.
--upgrade ran from start to finish in the process already running, i.e. the binary being REPLACED, and only the config merge was delegated. So every change to the finalize policy - which keys the merge adds, whether the daemon is migrated, what the footer says - took effect one upgrade late: the upgrade that installs release N was decided by release N-1. --upgrade-finalize is the whole finalize phase as an entry point, and --upgrade re-invokes the freshly installed binary with it. Download, signature and checksum verification and installBinary itself deliberately stay in the old binary: the downloaded binary is untrusted until that binary has verified it, so it cannot be the party that verifies itself. Changes to THOSE still land one release late, and always will. The gate is a version comparison against 0.36.0 and it fails closed - unparsable, empty or older keeps the in-process path, so nothing changes for an upgrade to a release without the flag. A probe flag was rejected: a binary that does not know the flag prints usage and exits non-zero, which cannot be told from "the flag exists and failed". Try-then-fall-back on the exit code was rejected too: it cannot tell "no such flag" from "the finalize ran and failed", and being wrong either skips the finalize or runs the config merge twice. A child that never STARTS falls back to an in-process finalize, so the host is left no worse than before the split. A child that runs and exits non-zero is reported and NOT retried here. The log level travels with it, or the half that moved would go silent under exactly the flag someone uses to watch it. Stated because the parent-child shape invites the assumption: this cannot roll the binary back. installBinary renames the new file over the old one and keeps no copy, so no rollback capability exists to inherit. Keeping the replaced binary aside is the prerequisite for one, and is a separate decision - recorded in diagnostics/todo-upgrade-runs-in-the-old-binary-2026-08-30.md along with the rest of what this does and does not close. 0.36.0 is the release that introduces the mechanism, so the upgrade TO 0.36.0 still runs entirely in the old binary. The first upgrade that benefits is 0.36.0 to its successor.
Eight highlights, the registry's ceiling, so two pairs are merged: the storage arm's two fixes (already-matching definitions, and blocks whose create-only keys outnumber the rest) read as one line, and the upgrade's two (finalize in the new binary, no notes screen under auto-yes) as another. The actions carry what an operator has to do rather than know: --show-whatsnew replaces the screen auto-yes no longer opens, the upgrade TO 0.36.0 still finalizes from the old binary so the new path only starts with the one after it, and a personal script under a user-owned home now has an fs.protected_hardlinks value printed at startup that is worth reading.
Three helpers whose output a caller parses as JSON captured stdout and stderr merged. Anything the tool writes to stderr lands in front of the JSON and the parse fails on a byte the tool never meant as data. runPveshSensitive is the proven one. Measured on a live PVE 9.1.9 node (2026-09-05), with the locale as the only variable: control rc=0 stdout=3B stderr=0B parse OK LC_ALL=xx_YY.UTF-8 rc=0 stdout=3B stderr=542B parse FAILED Its one output-keeping caller is the cluster resource mapping read-back in applyPVEClusterResourceMapping. When that parse dies the function reports the mapping as unreadable, surfaces the create error as the cause, and never merges the live entries with the backup ones. The reported cause names the wrong problem. The mutation test reproduces it verbatim: "invalid character 'p'", which is "perl:". The same node also reproduces it for pveum, so both PVE tiers of the email recipient detection in internal/notify die together under one locale. That is fixed separately. runPBSManagerRedacted and the two notification list readers get the same capture, on the invariant rather than on a reproduction: proxmox-backup-manager is Rust and wrote 0 bytes to stderr on that node for datastore list, disk list and user list even under a missing locale. The mechanism is identical, the reachability is not demonstrated. internal/backup already keeps the streams apart for this binary and names a real trigger at collector_deps.go:15. No diagnostics are lost. Every mutating caller writes `_, err :=` and drops the output; on failure runCommandStdout folds stderr into the error, which is where those callers read the reason from. Census behind this: 59 JSON parse sites repo-wide, 14 exposed, 10 already correct, 35 reading from disk, archive members or HTTP bodies. The remaining exposed sites are internal/notify/email.go and internal/orchestrator/decrypt.go.
Both PVE tiers of the email recipient auto-detection parsed a capture that
merged stdout and stderr, so a byte the tool never meant as data lands in front
of the JSON and the parse dies.
Measured on a live PVE 9.1.9 node (2026-09-05), locale as the only variable:
pvesh get /access/users/root@pam control rc=0 stdout=74B stderr=0B merged parses
LC_ALL=xx_YY.UTF-8 rc=0 stdout=74B stderr=542B merged FAILS
pveum user list control rc=0 stdout=89B stderr=0B merged parses
LC_ALL=xx_YY.UTF-8 rc=0 stdout=89B stderr=542B merged FAILS
Both exit 0 with intact JSON. Both are the same Perl, so one locale the node
lacks takes out tier 1 and tier 2 together and the recipient is only found
because tier 3 parses /etc/pve/user.cfg directly. That node ships the stock
`AcceptEnv LANG LC_*`, so an operator sshing in with a locale it does not have
is the whole reproduction.
runCombinedOutput becomes runCapturedOutput, returning the two streams apart,
the same shape internal/backup/collector_deps.go already uses for this reason.
It is a var so tests can drive it.
Diagnostics improve rather than degrade. The failure paths logged the merged
text; they now log stderr, which is where the reason is, falling back to stdout
when stderr is empty. That fallback is commandDiagnostic, deliberately not a
merge.
Three tests. Two stub the runner and pin what the callers do with two streams.
The third puts a real script on PATH that writes the measured Perl warning to
stderr and JSON to stdout, and runs it through the real runner: that is the one
that fails when the capture goes back to merging, with the same signature the
defect produces, "invalid character 'p'".
inspectRcloneMetadataManifest parsed a merged capture. rclone writes NOTICE and
WARNING lines to stderr while the file content goes to stdout, so those lines
land in front of the JSON and json.Unmarshal fails on a byte rclone never meant
as data. readRcloneManifestStreaming, thirty lines above in the same file,
already keeps the streams apart; this function was the outlier.
The damage is the worst of this family, which is why it is repaired despite the
weakest evidence: a failed parse does not fail the call. It falls through to the
legacy KEY=VALUE branch, which finds no "=" in JSON and returns a manifest
carrying only ArchivePath. The mutation test prints exactly that:
&{ArchivePath:gdrive:backup.tar.xz ArchiveSize:0 SHA256: ... EncryptionMode:plain}
No sha256, no archive size, no error. The loss is silent.
Reachability is honestly thin, and the comment says so. Measured on a live node
(2026-09-05): `rclone cat` on a real JSON file wrote 0 bytes to stderr with a
config present, under a broken locale included. With the config MISSING it wrote
102 bytes of NOTICE and the merged bytes stopped parsing, but a missing config
also makes a `remote:path` read fail outright, so that route exits at the error
branch instead. Other NOTICEs on a successful cat (deprecations, token refreshes
on cloud backends) were not measured. This is a repair on the invariant.
The legacy KEY=VALUE branch stays: it is a real older format, not a bug. What
changes is only that valid JSON no longer reaches it. On success a non-empty
stderr is now logged at debug rather than discarded.
Closes the census opened in 7100490: all 14 exposed sites now read the stream
their caller actually parses.
Two text parsers, the same defect the JSON census closed in 7100490..93c6024: output a caller parses is read from a merged capture, so anything the tool writes to stderr is ingested as data. The census enumerated json.Unmarshal sites only, and said so nowhere; these are the two text sites worth repairing out of the ten that exist. listPVEPoolIDs is the proven one. Measured on a live PVE 9.1.9 node (2026-09-05): `pveum pool list` under LC_ALL=xx_YY.UTF-8 exits 0 and writes 556 bytes of Perl locale warning to stderr. Running the function's own loop over the merged bytes yields 17 phantom pool IDs, one per variable the warning enumerates: perl:, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_NUMERIC, LC_COLLATE, LC_TIME, LC_MESSAGES, LC_MONETARY, LC_ADDRESS, LC_IDENTIFICATION, LC_MEASUREMENT, LC_PAPER, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_NAME, LANG, are. The real IDs survive alongside them, so nothing is lost. What breaks is pvePoolAlreadyExists: a backup pool named like one of those tokens is reported as already present and skipped. LANG, LC_TIME and are are all valid PVE pool IDs. discoverRcloneBackups is a repair on the invariant and the comment says so twice. The measured route is not reachable: `rclone lsf` prints its "Config file not found" NOTICE while exiting 0, but the function always builds a remote:path form, so a missing config fails the command instead. And a realistic NOTICE is invisible at that boundary anyway, because the classifier matches on HasSuffix and drops a line ending in prose. Its test therefore uses a stderr payload CHOSEN to be observable, and labels it as such: what the test pins is the capture, not a field failure. Both error branches of the rclone listing keep reporting the merged text. There it is a transcript for a human and rclone puts its reason on stderr. measuredPerlLocaleWarning was an abridged four-variable sample. It is now the verbatim 556-byte capture, because the line count is itself the evidence: abridged it understated the phantom count by a factor of four, and the test demonstrated 6 where the code comment claimed 17. They agree now. Eight further text sites were measured and left alone. Six write nothing to stderr on a successful run (ip route get/show, ip -o link, ip -o addr, udevadm info) and their callers return before parsing when the command fails. Two would be BROKEN by this change: `crontab -l` reports "no crontab for <user>" on stderr with an empty stdout and rc=1, and daemon_setup.go detects that string in the merged buffer to tell "no crontab" from a real failure; `zpool import` always writes "no pools available to import" to stderr, which parseZpoolImportOutput ignores because it only matches a "pool:" prefix, while detectImportableZFSPools returns the merged text as the diagnostic where that line is the whole explanation.
The line read "Guest config restore survives a locale warning from pvesh instead of refusing every guest on the node". That was true when it was written and is now too narrow: the same repair reached the cluster resource mapping read-back and both PVE tiers of the email recipient auto-detection, all measured on a live PVE 9.1.9 node. It now reads "Restores and notification emails no longer break when your ssh session forwards a locale the node does not have", which names the cause an operator can recognise (their own ssh client forwarding LC_*) and the two effects they would actually see. No line is added. The registry caps highlights at 8 and 0.36.0 is already at 8, and nothing here deserves a slot taken from something else: the remaining fixes in this line (PBS list readers, rclone manifest and listing, pveum pool list) are repairs on the invariant whose reachability was NOT demonstrated, and the file's own rules exclude hardening from this section. Actions are unchanged. There is no step the operator must take for this: a run that used to fail now succeeds, and a workaround of pinning LC_ALL on the client simply stops being needed.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 4 included reviews per hour; 3 remain after this review.
All four are on code this release introduced, three on the upgrade split and one on the staged-apply cancellation gate. Each was verified against the code before being accepted, and one of the four was mis-attributed. 1. Unparsable versions delegated anyway (CodeRabbit, upgrade.go). compareVersions degrades a non-numeric component to 0 instead of rejecting it, so "999.not-a-version" reads as [999,0] and sorts ABOVE the 0.36.0 floor. The existing table already covered "not-a-version", which only ever passed because it degrades to [0], below the floor; the case with a first component ABOVE the floor was missing, and that is the one that delegates. delegateUpgradeFinalize documented itself as failing closed on a version that does not parse. It did not: no such path existed. parsableVersionCore is that path, and the comment is now true. compareVersions itself is untouched, because its other caller (upgradeAcquireBinary) wants exactly that degradation, where a malformed remote version simply means "not newer". Damage when it fired: delegation to a binary without the flag, which exits on an argument error, which delegateUpgradeFinalize reports as a finalize failure and does NOT retry in process. Config merge, docs, symlinks and daemon migration all skipped, upgrade reported as failed. 2. The daemon was restarted twice from the dashboard (Greptile, upgrade.go). upgradeRestartsDaemon is a package var. upgRun sets it false because the dashboard drives the single restart itself. A child PROCESS cannot see that: it starts at the package default true, and the restart at upgradeFinalizePhase sits AFTER the !args.UpgradeFinalize delegation guard, so the child reaches it. Two service interruptions, and the second waits out any backup that started in between. --upgrade-finalize-skip-daemon-restart forwards the parent's decision, the same shape --upgrade-finalize-skip-whatsnew already uses. It fires from 0.36.0 to 0.37.0, not on the upgrade TO 0.36.0 which runs from the 0.35.0 binary: the defect would have shipped now and gone off next release, which is the one-release delay this split exists to end. The child half is pinned structurally rather than through a new seam. Driving runUpgradeFinalize for real runs the whole finalize, and adding a production seam for one assertion buys surface with test money. 3. --dry-run silently upgraded (Greptile, main_modes.go). MIS-ATTRIBUTED. Not one line of cmd/proxsave/upgrade.go reads args.DryRun, so `--upgrade --dry-run` has ALWAYS merged the configuration, refreshed docs and symlinks, repointed cron, possibly restarted the daemon and normalized permissions, while saying nothing would change. The finalize mode inherited the gap; it did not create it. Greptile presents it as introduced here, which is wrong about the history and right about the fact. The combination is refused, not implemented. A truthful dry run would have to model every one of those effects and a partial one is worse than none, because it teaches the operator the flag is honoured here. This turns a previously accepted invocation into an error, which is the point: it used to lie. A whatsnew action says so. 4. Cancellation could still write mid-arm (CodeRabbit, pve_staged_apply.go). applyArm gates cancellation BETWEEN arms, which was the scope of that gate. applyPVEVzdumpConfFromStage and applyPVEVzdumpCronFromStage took no ctx at all and applyPVEDatacenterCfgFromStage ignored the one it took, so the window in which a cancelled restore could still write was a whole arm: read the staged file, trim it, then write. All three now take ctx and check it immediately before removeIfExists, writeFileAtomic and pmxcfsWriteFile. This narrows the window, it does not close it, and the comment says so: cancellation can still land between the check and the write, and no atomic "write unless cancelled" exists to reach for. Each fix is mutation-verified: reverting it fails its test. Reverting the parse gate fails four of the new table cases; dropping the forward fails the flag assertion; dropping the child block fails the shape test; dropping the refusal fails both refusal cases; removing the four ctx checks fails all four cancellation subtests.
golangci-lint blocked the previous push on QF1001 in the ordering check added with the daemon-restart wiring test: `!(a < c && b < c)` is now `a >= c || b >= c`. No behaviour change; the test still fails when the suppression stops preceding upgradeFinalizePhase. Caught by CI, not locally, because `make lint` runs go vet plus two grep guards and a golint that is not installed, and never runs golangci-lint at all. CI's blocking gate is golangci-lint, so the two disagree by construction.

Regression from the previous commit, found by Greptile on PR 308. Giving the staged-apply helpers a ctx created a new way for an arm to fail: it can now return the caller's cancellation. applyArm recorded that in failedItems like any other failure. For the LAST selected arm, vzdump.cron in the pve_jobs branch, no later gate runs to set aborted, so the tail returned "1 PVE config item(s) failed to apply" instead of context.Canceled. The operator's own abort came back as a staged-apply failure, and input.IsAborted, which matches context.Canceled, would not have recognised it. The discriminator is the PARENT ctx, not the error. Keying on errors.Is(err, context.Canceled) would misread an arm's own inner deadline: maybeApplyPVEStorageMountGuardsFromStage derives mountCtx with mountGuardMountAttemptTimeout, and that timeout expiring on a live restore is an item failure, not an operator abort. ctx.Err() cannot confuse the two. The test is structural and says so. The arms sit behind isRealRestoreFS and a root check, so a behavioural test would need two production seams added for one assertion. What it pins is the ordering inside the error branch: ctx.Err() is consulted and aborted is set before anything reaches failedItems. The four cancellation subtests alongside it prove the helpers actually return the cancellation this branch classifies. Mutation-verified: dropping the classification fails the shape test.

Greptile P2 on PR 308, correct about the loss and wrong about the remedy. The loss is real: applyArm read ctx.Err() and returned, so an arm that failed for a reason of its own exactly as the parent was cancelled had its name dropped. The restore reported the abort with no trace of which configuration item had also failed. The proposed remedy was to classify by the error instead of the ctx. That is the option this code already refuses, and for a reason the previous commit recorded: maybeApplyPVEStorageMountGuardsFromStage derives mountCtx with mountGuardMountAttemptTimeout, so an arm can return a context error of its OWN while the restore is perfectly alive. Keying the abort on the error type reads that inner timeout as an operator abort and stops every remaining arm. They are two questions, not one, and each gets its own source of truth: is the restore aborting -> the PARENT ctx, never the error did THIS arm also fail on its own -> the error, via errors.Is(err, cerr) So the item is recorded and aborted is set, unless the arm's error IS the abort propagating out of it. The tail already prints both shapes: "aborted: X (N item(s) had already failed: ...)". Nothing is lost and the inner deadline still reads as an item failure. The shape test grew two assertions, and the second exists because the first missed the mutation it was written for: setting aborted inside an errors.Is guard was only checked in the if body, so moving it to the else slipped through. It now inspects both branches, and the mutation Greptile proposes fails the test. Mutation-verified both ways: dropping the item append fails "an abort discards the failed item name"; keying aborted on the error type fails "aborted is set inside an errors.Is guard".
Greptile P2 on PR 308, named for jobs.cfg. The same shape is in storage.cfg, so both are fixed rather than the one reported. Two arms count their per-item outcome and turn it into a FORMATTED STRING: applyPVEBackupJobsFromStage returns "applied=N failed=M" and the caller of applyStorageCfg returns "storage.cfg applied with N failure(s)". Neither wraps anything, so errors.Is cannot match them against context.Canceled. On an aborted restore the loop is the cause of two separate problems. It keeps calling pvesh for every remaining item, each failing instantly on the dead context, and the aggregate it finally returns makes applyArm record the arm as an item that failed on its own. The restore aborts correctly but its diagnostic blames the job or storage configuration for the operator's own abort. Both loops now check ctx at the top of each iteration and return the cancellation. applyStorageCfg returns the counts alongside it, so what really landed before the abort is still reported. This is the root the previous two commits kept circling. applyArm can only classify what an arm hands it; an arm that swallows the cancellation into a count gives it nothing to classify. Fixing it here is what makes the errors.Is guard in applyArm meaningful. Not fixed, and stated so it is not mistaken for an oversight: maybeApplyPVEStorageMountGuardsFromStage always returns nil, so a cancellation there silently skips the remaining guards and never reaches failedItems at all. That is a different defect (a silent skip, not a mislabelled one) and it is not what this commit is about. Mutation-verified: removing either check fails its test, on the error identity and on the loop having kept going.
The third and last of the aggregating arms, and the only one whose cancellation was SILENT rather than mislabelled. Every outcome in its loop is a warning and a continue and the function ends with return nil on purpose, because a mountpoint that could not be guarded must not fail the restore. A cancellation is not one of those outcomes. Without a check the loop walks the whole candidate list while the operator is aborting, and each iteration can mkdir, activate storage, mount, bind read-only and set chattr +i. Those are exactly the effects an abort is meant to stop. Returning nil also hid the abort from applyArm, which saw a clean arm and carried on to the next one. The mutation test does not argue this, it demonstrates it: with the check removed the run fails on "a cancelled restore created a guard directory" before it even reaches the error assertion. The parent ctx is what is read, not the error: mountCtx inside the loop derives its own deadline, and that timeout expiring is a per-item failure with a live restore. Per-item guard failures are unchanged. They stay warnings and the arm still returns nil for them; only the cancellation propagates. This closes the family. All six arms now honour the caller's cancellation, each directly or through what it delegates to: vzdump.conf 2 checks (write and remove) storage.cfg via applyStorageCfg mount guards this commit datacenter.cfg 1 jobs.cfg 1 vzdump.cron 1

Summary by CodeRabbit
UNKNOWNstates and reasons.--dry-runwhen used with upgrade operations.Greptile Summary
This release hardens restore cancellation and schema-aware application, isolates parsed command output from stderr diagnostics, improves daemon configuration reporting, and delegates post-install finalization to the newly installed binary.
Confidence Score: 5/5
The PR appears safe to merge, with all previous findings resolved and no actionable new defects established by the latest changes.
The latest cancellation change stops the mount-guard loop before processing further candidates, and the previously reported upgrade-finalization and staged-apply cancellation issues are resolved in the current code. No blocking correctness, security, or repository-rule issue remains.
