Updates that undo themselves
in this fork since v2.7.0Upstream promotes a new image the moment it boots, which proves the kernel started and nothing else. Here an image boots on trial and is kept only if the board answers properly afterwards.

The argument
Section titled “The argument”The gate asks three questions after a new image boots, not one. Two images this fork built would have passed "did it boot" while being broken, and one of them cut all four compute modules off the network. The one rollback on record was deliberate: an image with its staged note tampered to claim an older version, refused in about 35 seconds.
