The reboot-survival gate is a test no operator can stand inside: the machine
under test is the machine running the session. So the machine records its own
recovery.
openfut-boot-evidence.service polls until the anchor, Core and host agree on
a namespace (or a 180s deadline expires), then writes a JSON file with the
boot id, anchor/Core/host pids and netns inodes, unit states, restart counts,
whether the reconciler had to act this boot, mount count, four non-mutating
probes, route ownership, and the full economy snapshot — plus the journal for
the boot so ordering is read from real timestamps rather than inferred from
unit dependencies.
It observes only; it never starts, stops or repairs anything, and carries no
Requires= or ordering that anything else waits on, so it cannot affect the
boot it is measuring. If the chain is broken the file says so, which is the
point.
Polling rather than a fixed sleep means a boot-time reconcile retry is
recorded as "settled late" rather than as a failure.
