Audit
-----
- create_task.py verify failed on a DEFAULT install. hook_status.json emitted a
per-file entry for the nested module with ok:false whenever the feature was
switched off -- the default -- so verify printed [FAIL] and exited 1, right
after the README tells users to run it. Status is now per MODULE with an
`active` flag, and verify renders an inactive module as [SKIP].
- A partial apply suppressed the middlewared restart. The exit code conflated
"nothing applied" with "one module applied, one failed", so a failing providers
patch would prevent the restart that a freshly-applied nested patch needs,
leaving it on disk and never loaded. Exit 2 now means partial and the restart
still fires.
- The native-nested probe could never fire. It scanned crud.py for the guard
message, but our own injected block quotes that message, so once applied the
probe would always conclude the guard was still present. It now reads only the
stock portion of the file.
- recover.sh did not unmount staging trees, so an emergency recovery left bind
mounts pinning ZFS snapshots that could then never be destroyed.
- uninstall.sh deleted sidecar files without reading them. A sidecar is the only
record that an interrupted run's snapshot tree is still on disk; both scripts
now name the snapshot before clearing it.
- Removed a dead branch in the restart gate (unreachable: the kill switch exits).
Refactor
--------
- Staging teardown had been copy-pasted into uninstall.sh and recover.sh -- two
untested shell copies of the fiddly depth-ordering and lazy-umount logic. Both
now call `python3 patch/truecloud_nested.py cleanup`, so there is exactly one
implementation and it is the one under test.
- Dropped the in-memory ACTIVE dict. The sidecar file was already the source of
truth; a second in-process record could only desync -- and it is precisely the
middlewared-restart case (which empties it) that must not orphan a snapshot
tree. One record, on disk, or none.
Not done: the overlay-unmount loop is duplicated across apply.sh/uninstall.sh/
recover.sh. It is pre-existing, and apply.sh runs at PREINIT under a tight
timeout -- giving it a source dependency would trade 10 lines of duplication for
a boot-time failure mode.
74 tests, ruff and shellcheck clean.
