 ## Decision log
 
+- 2026-10-02: The admin container controls accept a tag within the repository supplied by Compose through `MULTIROVER_TARGET_IMAGE`. A successful healthy replacement saves the tag in the lifecycle status volume; failed replacements retain the previous selection. Checks and later updates follow that saved tag. Changing repositories in Compose resets the selection. Manual Compose deployments still use the Compose image and can replace a UI-selected image; the UI displays both references. The lifecycle helper itself is updated through Compose. Image rollback does not revert application data migrations. Deploy this feature to both the application and lifecycle services before using tag selection.
+
 - 2026-09-14: Publish `ghcr.io/legop3/multiroombarover:latest` only from the repository's main branch. Every other repository branch publishes one moving development image named for that branch, with invalid tag separators normalized; these are development selectors rather than numbered releases. Pull requests only verify that the image builds. There are no release numbers, semantic-version tags, stable/edge channels, or operator-facing version selection. Docker image digests remain an internal mechanism for detecting an available update and retaining the previously running image for rollback.
 - 2026-09-15: Support only `linux/amd64` for the central server image. Rover computers remain independently ARM-capable, but publishing an untested ARM server image would multiply native-worker, media-binary, TTS-library, and hardware validation without serving the current deployment. ARM server support can be added later when a real ARM server exists to verify it.
 - 2026-09-15: Mount the application data directory from the Docker-managed `multirover-data` named volume instead of a host bind path. Docker initializes the empty volume with the image's non-root ownership, eliminating host UID matching, directory creation, ownership commands, and root application startup. The admin backup/restore system is the supported portable interface to the complete data tree.

+## Reading server mode
+
+Read `session.mode` from the `session:sync` snapshot to get the current server
+mode. Its possible values are `open`, `turns`, `admin`, and `lockdown`.
+
+The server sends a fresh session snapshot whenever the mode changes, so the
+example's handler receives both the initial mode and subsequent updates. No
+polling or separate mode listener is needed. If your bot stores session data for
+its chat-handling logic, replace the stored session on every `session:sync` and
+read the mode from that latest snapshot.
+
+`session.mode` is the server-wide mode; `session.role` is this connection's role
+(such as `spectator`), and `session.operatingMode` is a separate connection field.
+Use `session.mode` when answering chat questions about the server's current mode.

 ## Events used
 
 - `nickname:set` sets the bot's visible nickname.

+### UI cleanup and obsolete models
+
+User explicitly requested removal of UI narration and deletion of obsolete models.
+Removed snapshot/threshold explanatory prose and the old commented manual-control

+
+
+### Recording maintenance race and diagnostic error details
+
+Authorized by "fix it and fix that IPI" after a production report showed two
+maintenance failures but omitted their error details. Scoped to those two defects;
+evaluation/cache changes remain proposals, not part of this repair.
+
+- listRecordings now tolerates ENOENT for directories/files removed between listing
+  and stat (dock-buffer pruning or atomic metadata rename). Other filesystem
+  errors still propagate; no broad error suppression or retries were added.
+- Diagnostics reportVersion 2 includes actual redacted error messages, rejection
+  reasons, controller results, event detail, and worker stderr. Runtime catches
+  retain error name/code/syscall/path/stack, timestamp and operation. Recording
+  failures retain the same structured details through session finalization.
+- A shared redactor removes URLs, credentials, user keys, email addresses and home
+  usernames while retaining filesystem operation context and stack frames. Error
+  categories remain supplementary, not replacements for actual failures.
+- Node syntax checks passed for affected modules. No actual production recording
+  stream is available here; the race is fixed by inspection but cannot yet be
+  confirmed as the cause of the earlier production events. Previously discarded
+  error details cannot be reconstructed. No new tests or processes were created.
+
+### Deliberate held-out selection
+
+Latest IPI authorizes the scheduler correction only. Randomly shuffled eligible
+sessions are now partitioned with exactly the worker's SHA256 first-eight-hex
+modulo-five rule. Jobs select up to three training sessions and one held-out
+session when both partitions exist; otherwise up to four training sessions.
+No worker starts with held-out sessions alone. Existing split assignments, model
+weights, and training progress are unchanged. Diagnostics expose timestamped
+available/selected partition counts and the reason when evaluation cannot be
+scheduled. Selection guarantees a held-out recording, not usable evaluation
+windows: decoding/vocabulary/sample checks still apply in the worker.
+Node syntax checks and diff whitespace checks passed; actual job selection on
+production recordings remains unverified. No new tests or background processes.
+
+### Active implementation: command-event policy (authorized IPI)
+
+Supersedes format 2 continuous wheel output. The model predicts numeric command
+scores and payload values; ordinary code constructs commands for the existing
+shared command pipe. It does not generate JSON text. Drive, recorded key-release
+stops, and accessories all use the threshold. Remove wheel-speed sensors and
+previous drive-command inputs, but preserve raw recordings. Exact zero values
+remain template constants so a demonstrated stop cannot regress into creeping.
+
+Keep one continuing learner, Latest/Previous, admin snapshots, recording lifecycle,
+permissions, and manual inputs that never cancel autonomy. No prescribed human
+driving. Start a new format 3 lineage, reuse recordings, show older snapshots as
+incompatible. No model-size increase or recording redesign in this change.
+
+Update the upper card to show every command proposal with decoded parameters,
+score, threshold marker and dispatch result, including below-threshold proposals.
+Update copied diagnostics and evaluation for command events, parameter error,
+missed stops and unwanted commands. Evaluate more than one held-out recording;
+event validation is not proof of autonomous driving or physical rollout quality.
+
+Progress: implemented; focused checks passed. User's unrelated webui/package.json
+edit was preserved. No changes to runtime recording, disabled startup, control
+permissions or manual-input override semantics.
+
+Implementation details for resume:
+- workers/policy.py VERSION=3, CNN/GRU unchanged in size; two heads for scores and
+  command parameters. Shared select_slots chooses one winner per command family
+  (peripheral id/control are separate families). No unconditional drive head.
+- Numeric zeros and address fields stay exact template constants. Stop is the
+  normal recorded driveDirect {left:0,right:0} command. Unknown templates still
+  reject explicitly at the 64-shape limit. Arrays remain exact demonstrations.
+- workers/dataset.py yields five arrays: images, state, event labels, parameters,
+  available shapes. It includes accepted human drive events, excludes ambiguous
+  conflicting events in the same 100ms window, and no longer requires an inferred
+  held wheel-speed target. Raw recorded sensors/commands are unchanged.
+- Training reserves separate bounded samples for stop events, other commands and
+  no-command windows. Evaluation remains uniformly sampled. Scheduler selects
+  up to three training and two held-out recordings under the unchanged SHA split.
+- Gate: complete evaluation, >=2 usable held-out sessions, >=128 windows, >=32
+  command events, >=8 stops, >=16 movement events; command precision/recall, stop
+  recall and movement recall each >=0.5; normalized numeric MSE <=0.1 where
+  applicable. Diagnostics expose each failing reason and per-command counts.
+  These are experimental screening thresholds, not a guarantee of useful driving.
+- New optimizer/scheduler filenames prevent silently reusing format 2 weights or
+  old rejected-session bookkeeping. No config values need changing. Existing
+  permanent format 2 snapshots are preserved, but cannot start; attempting to
+  snapshot an old candidate reports that a new command-policy checkpoint is needed.
+- Live inference keeps existing discrete toggle latching and common command limits.
+  The threshold applies to drive and stop just like the other command predictions.
+  No-event means send nothing: it DOES NOT implicitly stop an already moving rover.
+  It must learn explicit stop events; removing the copy shortcut is not proof that
+  learning will succeed. Other motion-related sensors still remain as observations.
+- Upper card replaces separate wheel meters with generic scored proposals and
+  decoded parameters; shows applied threshold and post-clamp submitted parameters.
+  Copied diagnostics retain top eight proposals and up to 16 submissions per
+  sampled controller-history entry, including their command objects.
+
+Verification: actual train.py --check-dependencies loaded Torch/NumPy/PyAV and
+constructed format 3 (803,440 parameters); infer.py --help loaded successfully;
+Node --check passed for six changed service modules; targeted card ESLint passed.
+No new tests or throwaway programs. Live end-to-end training/inference and browser
+visual verification require the actual environment and have not been performed.
+
+Deferred explicitly: chronological commanded-motion replay/closed-loop evaluation,
+prepared frame caching and larger architectures. Current evaluation uses held-out
+100ms event windows with the live threshold/family selection, but cannot assess
+temporal latching or accumulated motion from random reservoir samples. It does
+not claim to verify actual physical command execution. After normal deployment,
+let the new learner process retained recordings; copied reportVersion 3 diagnostics
+provide the next evidence. Do not demand prescribed driving or a manual checklist.
+
+### Obsolete model cleanup after format 3 transition
+
+Latest user IPI explicitly authorizes deleting obsolete snapshots, checkpoints and
+training state. This supersedes earlier format 2 preservation notes above.
+Enabled-service startup, before trainer/driving/gateway startup, scans both models/
+and training/checkpoints/. Identity-validated manifests with integer policy version
+>=1 and < current POLICY_VERSION are removed. Current/future/unknown-format models
+and recordings are preserved. Candidate/Latest/Previous references to obsolete
+checkpoints are atomically removed before directory deletion; leased directories
+are retired until release. Cleanup also removes legacy resume/schedule files and
+temporary files for the unversioned and v1-v3 lineages. Current v4 state is kept.
+Cleanup runs even when training is disabled, but not when the whole service is off.
+Production deletion occurs on the next enabled-service startup after deployment.
+Verification: focused Node syntax and diff whitespace checks passed. No production
+storage was accessed; actual deletion awaits enabled-service startup on the server.
+
+### User-control scope and evaluation coverage (2026-09-29)
+
+Authorized by latest IPI after user clarified that controls include camera, brushes,
+lights, laser, horn and songs but NOT generic peripherals. No new command pipe or
+separate stop command. sensorStream is neither input/target nor a boundary. Actual
+reset/reboot/update remain temporal boundaries because they interrupt observations.
+
+Format 4 seeds drive and motor zero/nonzero field combinations, servo, light/laser
+actions, the two four-frequency horn waveforms and horn release, OI start/safe/full/
+dock bytes and default song. Seed values describe shapes, not artificial training
+examples. Horn frequencies are numeric parameters; integral JSON numbers share
+shapes with equivalent floating representations for drive/motors/servo/horn. Songs
+remain exact demonstrated note arrays; other song/raw variants can extend the
+training schema within its existing 64-slot bound. No promise to pre-enumerate all
+possible tunes. Seeded slots receive negative examples even in sessions where that
+control was not used, avoiding untrained random seeded outputs.
+
+Evaluation freezes the training schema. Unsupported commands are reported with
+payload, reason, occurrence count (up to 32 distinct descriptions), total count and
+affected-window count. The affected observation history/target interval is excluded
+without labeling the unknown command as inaction or skipping the entire recording.
+Any unsupported held-out command blocks promotion; metrics describe only supported
+windows. If none survive, dataset diagnostics still report the coverage problem.
+Existing permission checks, threshold mechanics, recording and manual input behavior
+are unchanged. Generic peripherals are also removed from execution allowlist and
+rover compatibility profile. Previous policy models are automatically cleaned up;
+no configuration edit is required.
+
+Verification completed: train.py --check-dependencies loaded the production
+worker and constructed format 4 with 803,440 parameters and predefined command
+shapes. infer.py --help, Node syntax checks for the four changed service modules,
+focused VipRoverLearningCard ESLint and diff whitespace checks passed.
+No live server data/hardware/browser available locally. Actual training, driving,
+and browser appearance remain unverified. No new tests or background processes.
+Deploying starts a new learner using existing recordings; enabled-service startup
+removes older policy models and optimizer/scheduler lineages through v4. Current
+lineage is v5. No settings changes or prescribed human driving are required.
+
+### Simplified controls, policy 5
+
+User authorized removal of horn/song/laser/brush motors. Retained 13 seeded shapes:
+four drive zero/nonzero combinations, two camera angle shapes, three headlight
+actions, four raw operating-mode/dock constants. Generic peripherals remain excluded.
+Removed excluded command history/targets via policy allowlist and execution via
+Node allowlist; raw payloads must exactly match one of the four mode commands at
+both boundaries. Controller shutdown now sends only zero-speed drive, leaving
+manual brush/horn state alone. Raw recording and sensor telemetry unchanged.
+Old policies are deleted on enabled startup; resume-v6.pt/schedule-v6.json begin a
+fresh learner using retained recordings. Existing evaluation behavior unchanged.
+Verification passed: production train.py --check-dependencies (policy 5, 13 seeded
+shapes), infer.py --help, changed Node module syntax, focused card ESLint, and diff
+whitespace checks. No live hardware/data available locally; actual learning and
+driving quality remain unverified. No tests added or background processes left.
+
+### Active full learning-path audit (authorized IPI)
+
+User explicitly permits local training/inference with controlled synthetic input;
+there are NO real recordings on this machine. Existing user-control simplification
+edits were present at start and must be preserved. No new schema reset is planned.
+
+Reproduced: production reader with a generated lossless 25 FPS video and 31 valid
+human drive events labeled ZERO commands. Old sampler used 120ms frame intervals
+with only 100ms target coverage. Fixed causal 100ms grid shared by dataset/inference
+uses latest past image; no future pixels. The repaired fixture preserves all 31
+commands. Sensor cutoff is strictly before decision in both paths.
+
+Original objective experiment: 12 easy colored-frame samples, 120 steps, seed 7,
+4 threads: loss 0.8206 -> 0.1996, mean true-command score 0.5106 -> 0.7268, recall
+at 0.7 reached 2/3; at 80 steps recall was still zero. This disproves a wholly
+broken gradient path; it does not diagnose real-data score suppression. Keep
+existing loss/threshold until real-data diagnostics justify changing them.
+
+New learning.py shares the actual objective for ongoing training and disposable
+probe. Per-job before/after evaluation on <=96 unchanged training examples, full
+held-out score distributions, threshold sweep, training-only frequency and no-op
+baselines, decoded pre-server-limit parameter error, gradient norms and sampled
+versus natural frequencies. Bounded <=20s/80-step memorization probe on <=12
+training examples at first job/every 1000 steps; copy only, never published or
+used for generalization gate. Continues current checkpoint/optimizer lineage.
+
+Audit results (synthetic only):
+- Round-tripped eight representative retained command payloads, including signed
+  drive/servo values, zero-speed drive, headlight and all four mode commands.
+- Lossless 25 FPS recording with 31 command events: old sampler labeled 0; new
+  sampler labeled 31/31, including interleaved ignored sensorStream events.
+- Full production train.py decoded five generated recordings, trained/exported
+  checkpoints, evaluated held-out sessions, and resumed optimizer/weights for a
+  second job. 120 -> 240 cumulative steps improved recall at unchanged 0.7 from
+  0 to 0.2553, with precision 1.0 at step 240. Mean true-event score rose 0.5346
+  -> 0.6303. Gate correctly remained failed. A lower 0.5 threshold had precision
+  0.6629/recall 0.8369 and 120 false-positive actions, so threshold was NOT lowered.
+- Disposable diverse probe covered zero-speed drive, moving drive and servo;
+  reached recall 0.75 after 39 steps under its 20s budget. Sampling was corrected
+  to avoid probing only the first event category. Probe uses a copy and higher
+  learning rate for memorization; never adopts weights or changes main optimizer.
+- Exported trained checkpoint reload, forward inference and decoding passed.
+- Retained recordings had extra removed actuator fields, causing false model
+  incompatibility. Normalize saved and current profiles through controlProfile.
+  Direct Node exercise accepts removed laser/peripheral differences and still
+  rejects a changed retained camera configuration.
+
+Diagnostics now report accepted vs represented command counts, request/dispatch
+delay, maximum sensor/image age; sampled vs natural command frequencies; gradient
+norms; same training-subset before/after scores; per-command score distributions;
+threshold sweep and no-op/training-frequency baselines; pre-server-limit decoded
+parameter errors; and bounded diverse memorization probe. Evaluation-step identity
+separates last evaluation from current-job progress. Compact history avoids
+repeating entire command/score tables for every job. Four concise numeric rows
+were added to expanded details; full evidence is in Copy diagnostics.
+
+The original loss and configured 0.7 threshold remain unchanged because experiments
+did not establish that a different objective/threshold fixes real recordings.
+Promotion keeps existing checks and additionally must beat the simple training-
+frequency baseline F1. One-time retry of old reader-specific no-aligned-window
+rejections preserves optimizer state and unrelated errors.
+
+Limits: actual human footage and rover/RTSP transport unavailable. Isolated held-out
+windows cannot measure sequential latch behavior or physical driving; decoded
+parameter errors are explicitly before Node's rover limits/permission/safety
+handling. Main model learned some synthetic cues but has not demonstrated useful
+autonomous driving. Camera command encoding still uses whole-degree predictions.
+The user must not be asked to drive prescribed routes or perform a manual checklist.
+
+Verification: full synthetic worker jobs and checkpoint inference above passed;
+focused Node syntax/card ESLint/diff checks passed before final report additions.
+One experimental seeded run failed because its runpy launcher omitted worker
+import path; corrected launcher succeeded. No production import failure occurred.
+Synthetic inference-worker media exercise passed: eight prediction batches,
+threshold update to 0.3, retained command types and discrete latching exercised.
+This check used a generated checkpoint and a FIFO media adapter preserving
+synthetic PTS (RTSP wall-clock override disabled in the experiment only); it does
+not validate real network capture timing. Trained checkpoint forward/decode was
+verified separately. Temporary media launchers needed fixes for file lifetime
+and command-string escaping; these were experiment issues, not production fixes.
+No repository tests added. Experiments finished and no background worker remains.
+Final focused Node syntax and diff whitespace checks passed. Card lint passed.
+No additional schema/optimizer reset introduced by this audit.
