Swap start allocates a dynamic device; stop targets hardcoded zram0\nBatch: 5782 | Execution: 2026-10-01__19-16-34 | Type: resource-object-identity\nTask: zram-swap-bash-ubuntu24-5782\nAffected command/source nodes: node1\nContract: On `node1`, add at least 512 MB of compressed in-memory swap, active at boot\nand preferred over any disk-backed swap.\nProperties: 3 Process integrity and lineage, 4 Lifecycle and supervision, 7 Resource safety and control-plane separation, 15 Rerun and automation safety, 17 Change scope and collateral effects\nOrigin/transition/final context: Agent-generated unit transitions from dynamic allocation to a constant teardown target; final unit inspection and reboot results retained.\nProblem: Final zram-swap.service captures dev=$(zramctl --find ...), formats and activates that selected device, but both ExecStop commands hardcode /dev/zram0 and ignore failures. It does not record the allocated device for cleanup.\nObserved impact: The unit is active and persists after reboot on the recorded fixture, where the selected device is zram0. A coexistence test with an already allocated zram0 is absent.\nProduction implication: If zram0 belongs to another workload and this unit receives zram1, stop/restart operates on the wrong swap device and leaves the actual owned device active. Ignoring stop failures obscures the mismatch and reruns can accumulate allocation or lose unrelated swap.\nConfidence: High for the recorded behavior; production consequence conditional\nLimits: Source-supported ownership mismatch, not an observed wrong-device shutdown. This unit does not establish the same defect in other zram variants; some store and reuse the selected device.\nRelated prior entries in this task (not automatically the same mechanism): none\nEvidence:\n  Task instruction: jobs/5782/2026-10-01__19-16-34/zram-swap-bash-ubuntu24-5782/instruction.md\n  jobs/5782/2026-10-01__19-16-34/zram-swap-bash-ubuntu24-5782/zram-swap-ubuntu24__ubCDjz7/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:22 [cmd-1ba49510c07c457a, node=node1, completed, rc=0]\n  jobs/5782/2026-10-01__19-16-34/zram-swap-bash-ubuntu24-5782/zram-swap-ubuntu24__ubCDjz7/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:24 [cmd-8d7d36c8f82f46ab, node=node1, completed, rc=0]\n  jobs/5782/2026-10-01__19-16-34/zram-swap-bash-ubuntu24-5782/zram-swap-ubuntu24__ubCDjz7/agent/executor-commands.jsonl:34 [cmd-eb503d71a6d84b55, node=node1, completed, rc=0]"

Service state and control trust a PID without sufficient process identity\nBatch: 8799 | Execution: 2026-10-03__01-23-07 | Type: pid-only-process-control\nTask: ssh-local-service-tunnel-bash-centos5-8799\nAffected command/source nodes: node1, node2\nContract: The inventory status endpoint on node1 is intentionally bound only to loopback\non TCP port 9081. Give node2 a persistent SSH tunnel exposing that endpoint on\nnode2's loopback port 9082. Other cluster hosts should not gain direct access to\neither application listener.

Stop waits only a bounded number of seconds, then deletes the PID file and prints stopped without failing if the process is still alive.\nObserved impact: The nominal service/listener checks succeed. The inspected controls do not exercise PID reuse, a manipulated PID file, listener bind failure after fork or a process that ignores termination.\nProduction implication: A stale/reused PID can make start skip a missing service and make status report an unrelated process as healthy. PID-based termination can target the wrong process. Where stop discards tracking before confirmed exit, an untracked child can survive and conflict with the next start.\nConfidence: High for the recorded behavior; production consequence conditional\nLimits: Implementation/control weakness; no actual unrelated process kill, forged PID or observed spoofed listener is claimed.
