+AFTERNOON RETEST — 2026-06-08 (after Jonah's broker fix)
+=========================================================
+
+Context: Jonah recreated the omnibase-infra-stability-test-redpanda broker and
+reported broker 0 now advertised at 100.109.203.94:39092 from his side. He asked
+Bret to rerun the broker check and Phase 2 from the WSL/Tailscale seat.
+
+Pre-retest setup done earlier this afternoon:
+- SEA contractor clone pulled June 5 build (80dc069) -> current dev (27f4f03).
+- uv sync ran clean (Resolved 242 packages). Resolver canary PASS: 24576.
+
+Run context for the retest:
+  branch: dev
+  SHA:    27f4f03  (fix(OMN-12816): raise SEA generation retry budget #218)
+  python: 3.12.13
+
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+PHASE 1 — BROKER REACHABILITY  ->  GREEN (advertised host fixed)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+For contrast, this morning (17:14Z, before the fix) the raw-socket metadata parse
+returned:  node=0 ADVERTISED_HOST=192.168.86.201 port=39092  (the LAN redirect).
+
+Retest tooling note: ad-hoc probes via confluent_kafka and a raw-socket parse both
+hung / timed out on the MetadataRequest, but NOT with this morning's _TRANSPORT
+"following the LAN address" signature. librdkafka was now talking to
+thrd:100.109.203.94:39092/0 directly and timing out on the request itself. That is
+the auto-API-version-negotiation quirk the stability-test overlay explicitly warns
+about ("KAFKA_API_VERSION 2.8.0 ... auto fails .201 metadata bootstrap"). The
+sanctioned client path resolves it.
+
+Authoritative check — aiokafka (the real pipeline client):
+  $ KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS=100.109.203.94:39092 KAFKA_API_VERSION=2.8.0 \
+    python -c "<aiokafka AIOKafkaProducer.start(); print cluster.brokers()>"
+  brokers: [(0, '100.109.203.94', 39092)]
+  RESULT: bus reachable, metadata OK
+
+=> Broker 0 now advertises the Tailscale-routable host. Phase 1 GREEN, confirmed
+   from the WSL/Tailscale seat. Jonah's fix holds from our side.
+
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+PHASE 3 — DIRECT InferenceClient DELEGATION SMOKE  ->  PASS (proof-quality)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(This morning this phase failed at aiokafka bus.start() with InfraTimeoutError —
+ the LAN-redirect blocker. It now completes the full round-trip.)

+         GOOGLE_API_KEY. Select a local ADK tier in contract.local.yaml or
+         provide the configured credential.
+
+  Reading:
+    - Broker is NO LONGER the blocker: probe ready, transport bus_backed,
+      bootstrap 100.109.203.94, fresh correlation, no direct-mode fallback,
+      routes local-first.
+    - Run stops at the agent-loop ADK backend selection (defaults cloud_gemini,
+      needs a key). This is the SEPARATE finding flagged this morning, now
+      reproduced cleanly on the far side of the broker fix. It is a config
+      choice, not a broker/runtime defect; the error is typed and actionable.
+    - Note: probe readiness was 38135ms (vs ~9s this morning) — freshly recreated
+      broker, slower initial metadata sync; it did become ready.
+
+  Classification: diagnostic (bus-backed, fresh correlation, no fallback, then
+  typed ADK-backend stop). NOT discarded (correct host/overlay, no mutation).
+
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+SUMMARY
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Phase 1 broker ........ GREEN  (advertises 100.109.203.94 from our seat)
+Phase 3 inference ..... PASS   (proof; correlation 8c0ddf2a; content healthy=true)
+Phase 2 --agent ....... broker cleared; stops at out-of-scope ADK backend (cloud_gemini)
+
+Jonah's specific blocker (broker LAN-advertise) is confirmed cleared from the
+WSL/Tailscale seat. A complete --agent generation proof remains gated on the ADK
+reasoning backend: either a local ADK tier (in scope, needs config) or a cloud key
+(out of today's scope per the verification plan).
+
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+APPENDIX — CONTRACTOR DIAGNOSTIC EXPERIMENT (off-plan, Bret-approved): can Phase 2
+run FULLY LOCAL with no cloud key?  ->  NO (local server 400s the ADK request)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+NOT part of Jonah's plan; a self-initiated in-scope experiment. Overlay created and
+deleted; clone left clean.
+
+Setup: created a gitignored contract.local.yaml next to
+src/nodes/node_agent_orchestrator/contract.yaml with
+  config.agent_runtime.adk_model_ref: local_deepseek_reasoning
+(the loader supports this overlay seam; contract.py:103). This repoints the agent's
+ADK reasoning backend from the default cloud_gemini to the local vLLM tier at :8001.
+
+What worked (no cloud key needed):
+  - overlay loaded, deep-merged over the default contract;
+  - ADK selected the local OpenAI-compatible adapter (_OpenAICompatibleLlm,
+    Authorization: Bearer EMPTY);
+  - endpoint rewrite via SEA_LOCAL_INFERENCE_BASE_URL resolved to
+    http://100.109.203.94:8001/v1/chat/completions (the same proven endpoint);
+  - got PAST the cloud_gemini key stop entirely.
+
+What failed:
+  - httpx.HTTPStatusError: 400 Bad Request from the local endpoint, raised inside
+    google/adk/models/apigee_llm.py during the agent loop ->
+    "RuntimeError: ADK runner background thread failed".
+
+Root cause ISOLATED (captured the exact request + 400 body via httpx instrumentation,
+2026-06-08T18:3xZ; full capture in local-adk-400-capture.json):
+
+  400 response body from the local llama.cpp server (:8001):
+    "Unable to generate parser for this template. Automatic parser generation
+     failed: JSON schema conversion failed: Unrecognized schema: {\"type\":\"STRING\"}"
+     (repeated for each tool parameter)
+
+  The request the ADK adapter sent serializes every tool-function parameter with
+  GEMINI-DIALECT JSON Schema types — UPPERCASE — e.g.
+    "parameters":{"properties":{"description":{"type":"STRING"}},"type":"OBJECT"}
+  Gemini's function-calling schema uses STRING/OBJECT/INTEGER. The local
+  OpenAI-compatible server (llama.cpp build b9206) requires standard lowercase
+  JSON Schema ("string"/"object") and rejects the uppercase types when building its
+  tool-calling grammar -> 400.
+
+  Why earlier probe got 200: my direct probe used a hand-written lowercase tool
+  ({"type":"object"/"string"}), which the server accepts. The agent's REAL tools come
+  from ADK FunctionDeclaration objects (Gemini Schema), serialized uppercase. So it
+  is specifically the Gemini->OpenAI tool-schema dialect that is not converted.
+
+  Where: SEA's _OpenAICompatibleLlm adapter / build_http_chat_completions_model in
+  src/nodes/node_agent_orchestrator/adk_backend_adapters.py passes the request
+  through Google ADK's CompletionsHTTPClient (apigee_llm) WITHOUT normalizing the
+  function-declaration schema types to lowercase for the OpenAI-compatible target.
+  The Gemini backend works because Gemini accepts uppercase natively.
+
+  Likely fix: when targeting an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, lowercase the JSON Schema
+  "type" values (and any other Gemini->OpenAI schema normalization) on the tool
+  function parameters before sending. Candidate site: the _OpenAICompatibleLlm
+  adapter path. (Could not isolate without authorization to dig; observation only.)
+
+Conclusion: fully-local SEA --agent generation fails because the local-ADK adapter
+ships Gemini-dialect (uppercase) tool schemas to the OpenAI-compatible local server,
+which rejects them (400). The local INFERENCE path is proven (Phase 3). The local
+ORCHESTRATION path (ADK agent loop on a local model) is blocked on this single schema
+conversion. Cloud Gemini remains the only orchestrator backend that completes today,
+and that is out of today's scope. Not a demo blocker; a gap in the advertised
+local-ADK fallback.

+
+=> No projection row for our --agent generation.
+
+--- WHY (root cause, code-confirmed) ---
+This is BY DESIGN, not a projection defect:
+
+  src/__main__.py:819-839 — after the agent loop completes, --agent builds the
+  node-generation-requested/completed envelopes and records them to a LOCAL
+  event-chain capture file via EventChainCapture.record()/.save():
+      capture = EventChainCapture(output_dir=Path(".onex_state/hackathon/event_chains"))
+      capture.record(REQUESTED_TOPIC, request_envelope)
+      capture.record(COMPLETED_TOPIC, completion_envelope)
+      capture.save(correlation_id)
+  EventChainCapture writes a local JSON file; it does NOT publish to the bus.
+
+  Source snippet captured from the SEA dev worktree:
+
+      capture = EventChainCapture(output_dir=Path(".onex_state/hackathon/event_chains"))
+      request_envelope = build_envelope(
+          source_node="onex_agent_runner",
+          correlation_id=correlation_id,
+          causation_id=None,
+          payload={"task_description": task_desc, "session_id": session_id},
+      )
+      capture.record(REQUESTED_TOPIC, request_envelope)
+      completion_envelope = build_envelope(
+          source_node="onex_agent_runner",
+          correlation_id=correlation_id,
+          causation_id=request_envelope["envelope_id"],
+          payload={
+              "summary": final_text,
+              "session_id": session_id,
+              "contract_passed": _contract_passed,
+              **latest_scaffold_artifact,
+          },
+      )
+      capture.record(COMPLETED_TOPIC, completion_envelope)
+      chain_path = capture.save(correlation_id)
+
+  grep confirms there is no bus.publish() of the generation-completed topic
+  anywhere in the --agent path. The only publisher of GENERATION_REQUESTED is the
+  server-side ingress node (node_kafka_ingress_effect/handlers/handler_kafka_ingress.py).
+  The generation_events projection is fed by the server-side omnimarket generation
+  node, reached via the runtime/dashboard/API path — NOT by the contractor CLI.
+
+  Verification command:
+      rg -n "bus\.publish\(|publish_envelope\(|GENERATION_COMPLETED|node-generation-completed|COMPLETED_TOPIC" src/__main__.py src -g "*.py"
+
+  Relevant stdout:
+      src/__main__.py:158:COMPLETED_TOPIC = _PIPELINE_TOPICS["generation_completed"]
+      src/__main__.py:826:    capture.record(REQUESTED_TOPIC, request_envelope)
+      src/__main__.py:838:    capture.record(COMPLETED_TOPIC, completion_envelope)
+      src/pipeline/topics.py:1:GENERATION_COMPLETED_TOPIC = "onex.evt.omnimarket.node-generation-completed.v1"
+      src/pipeline/consumer.py:394:        topic = COMPLETED_TOPIC if result.contract_passed else FAILED_TOPIC
+
+  The command output contains capture.record() and consumer/server-side topic
+  references, but no bus.publish() or publish_envelope() call for the
+  node-generation-completed topic in the --agent path.
+
+  Corroboration: local capture file exists for our run —
+  .onex_state/hackathon/event_chains/0cdc2410-3fa5-4da6-b561-52d4a7075352.json
+  with both events captured_at 2026-06-08T20:20:45Z (same second; built back-to-back
+  at end of run, not emitted across the 64s generation).
+  That capture file is local runtime output and is not committed in this PR;
+  the committed evidence is the terminal transcript plus the projection readback
+  above showing row_count 0 for the same correlation.
+
+--- Conclusion ---
+The Phase 2b generation is runtime-observed (terminal output + local event chain),
+bus-backed for delegated inference, but NOT projection-backed. A projection row
+requires the server-side runtime path, which the contractor seat cannot trigger
+(no raw bus publish / runtime trigger per plan rules). Projection confirmation
+needs operator-side capture. This is a scope/architecture boundary, not a defect.

+**Plan executed:** `2026-06-08-bret-verification-plan.md` (8 phases)
+**SEA branch/SHA:** `dev` / `27f4f03` for the afternoon retest (Phases 1–3). Morning preflight (Phase 0) ran on `dev` / `80dc069` before the contractor clone was pulled to current dev. Python 3.12.13.
+**New since the previous baseline:** `27f4f03` raises the SEA generation retry budget (#218), plus #215 retiring legacy demo nodes.

+
+## Final verdict — partially green / projection limited
+
+The broker blocker (OMN-12832) is **cleared and confirmed from the contractor seat**. After Jonah's OMN-12834 fix, the contractor-seat `--agent` generation completes **end to end, fully local, with no cloud key** — bus-backed (for delegated inference), generate → register → invoke, fresh correlation, contract-valid node, correct terminal result (`{"is_healthy": true}`, PASS, attempts 1, Cost $0.0000). Local delegated inference is independently proven (Phase 3 PASS), and the projection API is reachable.
+
+**This is runtime-observed, not projection-backed.** The `--agent` path records its `node-generation-requested/completed` events to a local event-chain file; it does not publish them to the bus, so they never reach the `generation_events` projection (queried for our correlation `0cdc2410`: row_count 0). A projection-backed generation row is produced only by the server-side runtime path (dashboard/API-triggered). The contractor seat cannot exercise that path — both because `--agent` records locally and because triggering the server path would require a raw bus publish or runtime trigger the plan forbids. So projection confirmation needs operator-side capture. This is a scope/architecture boundary, **not a projection defect** (root cause code-confirmed in `__main__.py:819-839`; see the Phase 4 transcript).
+
+Scope note: the proven generation path uses the supported local-ADK overlay (local reasoning backend); the default cloud-Gemini orchestrator path still requires a key and was not exercised (out of scope today). Prod and cloud/escalation were not verified (out of scope).
+
+**Day timeline:**
+- **AM:** blocked at broker reachability (metadata advertised `192.168.86.201`). Filed OMN-12832.
+- **Midday:** Jonah recreated the stability broker. Retest from our seat: Phase 1 green, Phase 3 PASS. Phase 2 broker-cleared but stopped at the ADK backend; filed OMN-12834 for the local-ADK schema-dialect defect.
+- **Afternoon:** Jonah merged the OMN-12834 fix (#219, `56d5a45`). Retest: fully-local `--agent` generation completes, PASS.

+## Findings
+
+**1. OMN-12832 — broker advertised LAN address (cleared).** AM: broker at `100.109.203.94:39092` accepted TCP over Tailscale but advertised `192.168.86.201` in metadata, unreachable from our seat; every bus round-trip failed after the handshake. PM, after Jonah recreated the broker: the sanctioned aiokafka client (api 2.8.0) reports `brokers: [(0, '100.109.203.94', 39092)]`, and the Phase 3 round-trip — which had failed at `bus.start()` with `InfraTimeoutError` — now completes in 2.8s. Retest confirmation posted to the ticket.
+
+**2. Phase 0 endpoint override defect (observed, not closed here).** The three unit failures are not a `model_registry.local.yaml` false alarm. `phase0-unit-tests.txt` shows endpoint resolution returning `http://100.109.203.94:8000/v1/chat/completions` where tests expected `localhost` or the `LOCAL_INFERENCE_BASE_URL_ENV` override. The failing `test_load_default_registry_honors_env_override` specifically verifies the env override path and shows it being ignored, so this report does not claim "no code regression" for Phase 0.
+
+**3. OMN-12834 — local-ADK orchestrator backend sends Gemini-dialect tool schemas (new, medium).** Phase 2 keyless stops with "Select a local ADK tier in `contract.local.yaml`." Following that path (a contractor-created local overlay, since removed): the agent routes to the local `:8001` endpoint with no cloud key, then the local llama.cpp server returns HTTP 400 — `JSON schema conversion failed: Unrecognized schema: {"type":"STRING"}`. The request serializes every tool parameter in Gemini dialect (uppercase `STRING`/`OBJECT`); the OpenAI-compatible server requires lowercase JSON Schema. Confirmed it is the dialect: a hand-written lowercase tool returns 200 from the same endpoint; the agent's ADK-serialized tools return 400. Candidate site: `_OpenAICompatibleLlm` / `build_http_chat_completions_model` in `adk_backend_adapters.py`, which forwards the request without normalizing schema types for the OpenAI target. **Fixed same day:** Jonah merged #219 (`56d5a45`, adds `normalize_openai_tool_schema`). Retest from our seat: the 400 no longer reproduces and the fully-local generation completes (table row 2b; correlation `0cdc2410`).
+
+**4. Phase 2 generation — runtime-proven fully local (not projection-backed).** After the OMN-12834 fix, the local-ADK orchestration path completes a full generation with no cloud (row 2b). Both the local *inference* path (Phase 3) and the local *orchestration* path (the agent loop) are runtime-proven from the contractor seat. The result is runtime-observed (terminal + local event-chain capture), not projection-backed: `--agent` records its generation events to a local file rather than publishing to the bus, so no `generation_events` projection row is created (root cause code-confirmed; see verdict and the Phase 4 transcript). Producing a projection row needs the server-side runtime path, which is out of the contractor seat's allowed scope. The default cloud-Gemini orchestrator path remains out of scope today (needs a key).

+## Phase 6 — dashboard claim classification (omnidash dev `6b0a6b6`, file mode)
+
+| Surface | Authority | Safe claim |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| cost-savings-overview | fixture, provisioned, `captured_at` 2026-05-20 | safe with date disclosure |
+| delegation-model-output (new this sprint) | fixture, `provisioned=false`, `captured_at` 2026-05-05 | degraded / disclosure only |
+| most other delegation + cost widgets | fixture, no freshness metadata | degraded — do not present as live |
+| delegation savings / model-routing / quality-gate / token-usage / control-plane | no fixture (OMN-12662 gap) | out-of-scope / no claim |
+| cloud escalation, prod | gated / none today | not claimed |
+
+Net: file mode is fixture-fallback-with-disclosure; the only date-backed cost surface is the savings overview.

+## Phase 8 — answers to the 2026-06-06 feedback ledger
+
+- **OMN-12719 (SubagentStop verifier):** no longer blocks the routine; agents stop cleanly. Did not re-patch; reporting observed behavior only.
+- **OCC #2203:** merged 2026-06-07. Keyless run marked no-correlation/diagnostic; raw transcript annotated rather than rewritten (CodeRabbit's unsupported-ID finding corrected).
+- **OMN-12700 cloud-tier:** not verified today (cloud out of scope). Post-deploy verification on v0.38.3 still showed the two-URL 404; filed OMN-12790 with the topic-binding hypothesis and source location.
+- **OMN-12662 / cost widgets:** no cost/savings claims made; surfaces classified degraded or out-of-scope above.
+- **Linear inbox digest:** ran (step 0); process hygiene, not evidence.
+
+---
+
+## Not verified today (explicit)
+
+Prod deployment; cloud/Gemini/OpenRouter escalation; the full self-extension loop (generate → register → expose as MCP → invoke); receipt-honesty gate; URL authority remediation beyond observing sanctioned overlay values.
