Briefing

You are the DevOps Agent.

Based on the rules you must follow in the file .milkyflow/agents/devops/rules_devops_agent.md,
deploy the application for the QA session of DEPLOY_BUG_6 of EPIC_2.

Deployment configuration (authored by the Solution Architect):
.milkyflow/agents/devops/prompts/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_6/DEPLOY_CONFIG_1.md

1. Read it fully. Verify every variable in "Configuration and secrets" has a value available
   from its stated source — check presence only, never print values.
2. Launch the third-tier services, then the application, exactly as specified.
3. Execute every readiness check and capture the literal results.
4. Write the Deployment section of your answer file at
   .milkyflow/agents/devops/answers/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_6/DEPLOY_CONFIG_1.md:
   set the mandatory `Lifecycle: DEPLOYED` marker on the line under the title, then record
   actions performed, readiness results, endpoints confirmed reachable, deviations (none, or
   justified), and the explicit status READY or FAILED. Do NOT write a Teardown section or
   the `TORN_DOWN` marker now — those belong to the teardown phase only.

If the deployment fails, classify and route per section 5 of your rules: application defect
→ bug report at .milkyflow/agents/devops/reports/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_$n.md; configuration
defect → "Configuration corrections needed" in your answer, for the Solution Architect;
missing secret or unreachable infrastructure → create or update
.milkyflow/agents/devops/reports/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_6_DEPLOY_BLOCKED.md and stop.
All your reports go under .milkyflow/agents/devops/reports/ — NEVER under .milkyflow/agents/qa/.
Never force a workaround.

QA starts only if your answer file reports READY.

All secrets present. There's an existing DEPLOY_BUG_6 report — let me check if it's an application defect (so I need to check occurrence count), and also check the git branch and start the deployment.
[tool] bash {'command': 'head -20 .milkyflow/agents/devops/reports/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_6.md', 'description': 'Check existing DEPLOY_BU
[tool] bash {'command': 'git branch --show-current', 'description': 'Check current branch'}
Good — occurrence is 1, threshold is 3, so a new occurrence report would be allowed, but this is a **deployment** — if the bug is fixed, I deploy and confirm it works. The DEPLOY_BUG_6 report is a prior bug report. Now I'm deploying to verify the fix. Let me proceed with the deployment steps.

Step 1 verified. Now run Alembic migrations:

[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && source .venv/bin/activate && python - <<\'EOF\'\n
Step 2 done. Now start the Password Cockpit fixture (Step 3):

Both healthy. Now Step 4 — provision backup account:
[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && bash local/fixtures/provision-pc-fixture.sh 2>&1'
Step 4 done. Now Step 5 — register destination (non-interactive via expect or piping password):

[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && source .venv/bin/activate && backup-cockpit live-
All 3 checks PASS. Now Step 6 — register source-a:
… Let me start by reading the rules file and the deployment configuration.
[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && source .venv/bin/activate && \\\n { echo "anydbpa
Source-a already exists in the DB from a prior session. Let me verify it's listed and then clean/re-register if needed:
… Source-a already registered from a prior run. The config says to register, but it already exists. I should update it or just verify it's listed. Let me check if source-a is listed.
[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && source .venv/bin/activate && backup-cockpit raw-c
Source-a is registered but the fixture password changed (fresh volumes). I need to update the PC credentials for source-a:
… source-a is already registered. However, since the fixture was started fresh (new volumes), the PC password has changed. I need to update the source-a PC credentials. Let me check if the source-a has correct PC credentials or just re-register via an update command. Let me check if there's an update subcommand.

Let me check if the source-a has correct PC credentials or just re-register via an update command. Let me check if there's an update subcommand.
[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && source .venv/bin/activate && backup-cockpit raw-c
The config calls for registering source-a fresh. I'll remove and re-register (stale entry from prior session, fresh fixture volumes = new credentials):
… The configuration says "Register the source (source-a)". The configuration doesn't mention what to do if it already exists. Since I'm running fresh docker compose with fresh volumes, the old keyring credentials for source-a's PC are wrong. I need to remove and re-register, or update.

The config says to use `register`. The error says "use update to modify it". Since fresh volumes mean new PC credentials, I need to update. But let me think - the config specifies `register`, not `remove` + `register`. The DB still has the source-a entry with old PC credentials.

I should remove and re-register to follow the configuration's intent (fresh session).

Now Step 7 — create the folder hierarchy:
… source-a verified. Now Step 7 — create multi-level folder hierarchy.
[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && \\\nTOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8088
Hierarchy created (IDs 3–7). Now Step 8 — run live-import:
… Folders created successfully. Now Step 8 — run live-import.
[tool] bash {'command': 'cd /home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper && source .venv/bin/activate && backup-cockpit live-
The live-import run failed with an application error. Let me check existing QA and devops reports to determine if this is a new defect:
… The live-import run failed with:
`Error: import run failed: Cannot determine backup parent: expected 1 external parent id, got set()`

This is an application defect (service crashes at runtime, readiness check step fails on app behavior). I need to:

1. Check if this is the same defect as an existing DEPLOY_BUG or QA BUG.
2. The existing DEPLOY_BUG_6 was about "spurious source-a child folder" - the symptom was `Folders: 6 created`. This is a different failure entirely: an import run failure with a different error message.
3. This appears to be a new defect. The readiness check used a transient folder at id=2 which was deleted, leaving the destination without a live-created test folder at that id, and now the backup parent determination is failing.
[tool] bash {'command': 'ls .milkyflow/agents/qa/reports/EPIC_2_BUG_*.md 2>/dev/null || echo "no QA bugs"\nls .milkyflow/agents/devo
[tool] bash {'command': 'grep -l "Cannot determine backup parent\\|expected 1 external parent" .milkyflow/agents/devops/reports/*.md
New defect — no prior match. I need to check the threshold config and then create a new DEPLOY_BUG_7 report:
… This is a new defect not seen before. I need to create a new DEPLOY_BUG report. The next available number is DEPLOY_BUG_7.

Let me also check the config.yml for max_bug_occurrences.
[tool] bash {'command': 'cat .milkyflow/agents/config.yml 2>/dev/null || echo "no config file"', 'description': 'Check max_bug_occur
… No `qa.max_bug_occurrences` key — falls back to default of 3. This is a new defect (occurrence 1). I create DEPLOY_BUG_7 report and write a FAILED answer file.

Let me get the current UTC timestamp.
[tool] bash {'command': 'date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ', 'description': 'Get UTC timestamp'}
… No `qa.max_bug_occurrences` key — falls back to default of 3. This is a new defect (occurrence 1). I create DEPLOY_BUG_7 report and write a FAILED answer file.

[tool] create {'path': '/home/oem/Documents/Sandbox/Kody/Projects/Backupper/.milkyflow/agents/devops/reports/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_7.md', 
Now write the answer file:
[tool] create {'file_text': '# Deployment Record — EPIC_2 DEPLOY_BUG_6 — DEPLOY_CONFIG_1\nLifecycle: DEPLOYED\n\n## Date\n\n2026-08-09
Now append the history row. First get the final timestamp:
[tool] bash {'command': 'date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ', 'description': 'Get final UTC timestamp'}
[tool] bash {'command': 'if [ ! -f .milkyflow/agents/history.md ]; then\n echo "| Timestamp | Agent | Scenario | Details |" > .milky

## Deployment: FAILED

All pre-flight steps passed (fixture healthy, secrets present, schema verified, source and destination registered, folder hierarchy created), but **Step 8 failed** with a new application defect:

```
Error: import run failed: Cannot determine backup parent: expected 1 external parent id, got set()
```

**Classification: Application defect** — the DEPLOY_BUG_6 fix introduced a regression in backup-parent resolution.

**Actions taken:**
- New bug report: `.milkyflow/agents/devops/reports/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_7.md` (Occurrence 1)
- Answer file: `.milkyflow/agents/devops/answers/EPIC_2_DEPLOY_BUG_6/DEPLOY_CONFIG_1.md` — `Lifecycle: DEPLOYED`, `Status: FAILED`

**QA cannot start.** The Solution Architect must address DEPLOY_BUG_7 before a redeploy can be attempted.
