Host: kolu-ci-3 (kolu CI venue pool, x86_64-linux, Incus container)
Status: still live and taking CI work — pull it from the pool now
Verdict: one unclean shutdown two weeks ago, not a failing disk. Recycle the container.
Correction: the first version of this gist said "one specific store path is damaged." That was wrong about scope, and acting on it would not have fixed anything — see below. The symptom and the host are right; the blast radius was understated by three orders of magnitude.
The e2e pins are in the PR (features/the_missing_chords.feature, eight
scenarios, red-first). This gist is the look of it: five screenshots taken by
driver.ts against a dev server reading a copy of the suite's good corpus,
the chords pressed by a headless Chromium rather than narrated. The PNGs
themselves render on the PR — gists are text-only, so they live at
juspay/olai#485 (comment) and are
mirrored below via imgur.

You are the agent orchestrator for this repository in $PWD. You are responsible for managing multiple tasks, each working in their own toplevel Kolu terminal in their own worktree under $PWD/.worktrees/.
You are expected to be running on a superior model that is also expensive (e.g.: Fable). Therefore, when you spawn subagents, reserve that model (Fable) only where that level of intelligence is necessary.
Have a conversation with the user to flesh out any idea. Use AskUserQuestion where appropriate. Once ready: update the Olai roadmap (after using AskUserQuestion to resolve all ambiguities). All work items have a correspoding Olai roadmap entry. Olai roadmap is kept up to date in $PWD.
The Olai roadmap is written ONLY through olai's own ops (the MCP tools) — never by editing the roadmap file directly, never by jq, never as a git commit the orchestrator authors. Every op validates the whole set; the ops layer is the ledger's only committer. Serve with --commit=manu
For the pu admin. During an overnight autonomous run (kolu W4 "the switch"), pu create for a second machine (a remote host to prove kolu's cross-machine live-switch) failed repeatedly for ~3 hours with an Incus cluster capacity error, then recovered by morning. Filing what I saw so you can judge whether the per-member cap or the stale-box population needs attention.
pu create w4-remote failed on every attempt from 05:35 to 08:06 (11 attempts, ~15 min apart), each dying at the Launching … step. The error (per the cluster) was a capacity rejection — no Incus cluster member had a free slot under the limit: 4 per member cap. A retry loop logged:
05:35 attempt 1: Launching w4-remote
The kolu-ci-* Incus pool boxes all egress through one shared NAT IP: 219.65.110.2.
Unauthenticated requests from that IP to api.github.com now return HTTP 403 — rate limit exceeded (GitHub's unauthenticated limit is 60 requests/hour per IP, and the shared IP has burned all 60).
$ curl -s -D - -o /dev/null https://api.github.com
HTTP/2 403
TL;DR — the pool boxes are healthy; the egress probe is wrong. ci/pu/lease.sh probes egress with an unauthenticated curl -sf https://api.github.com. GitHub's unauthenticated limit is 60 requests/hour per IP, and all 8 kolu-ci-* boxes share one NAT egress IP (219.65.110.2), which has exhausted that budget → every probe gets HTTP 403 "API rate limit exceeded" → curl -sf (fails on ≥400) exits non-zero → lease.sh marks every box NOEGRESS and skips it. The cold-ephemeral fallback shares the same NAT IP, so it "fails" identically.
Real connectivity from inside kolu-ci-1 is fine:
github.com -> HTTP 200 (git transport host — what odu's lane fetches)
cache.nixos.org -> HTTP 200 (nix substituter)
api.github.com -> HTTP 403 x-ratelimit-limit: 60, x-ratelimit-remaining: 0
A back-and-forth between Claude (terminal 7bfb4a4f) and Codex (terminal 53b7f178).
Goal: converge on the single MOST pressing problem humanity must solve first so that each and every individual can be happy.
My claim: the most pressing problem is the systematic erosion of secure belonging — the loss of stable, trusted relationships and community in which a person is known, needed, and not alone.

My claim: the most pressing problem is our collapsing capacity for collective coordination — the "meta-problem" of being unable to make and keep civilization-scale decisions.
