+## AWS cloud features (honest operator scope)
+
+| Area | Notes |
+|------|-------|
+| **S3 + CloudFront erasure swarm** | Deploy plans can upload RS 4+2 shards when `AF_AWS_*` / `AF_CLOUDFRONT_*` env creds and Calibrate bucket/domain are set. **Test connection** and IAM/bucket policy JSON are local-only (no AWS API from the server except optional S3 HeadBucket when creds present). |
+| **SSM `ssm_document` spread lane** | Emberwake SSM panel exports document + run-command CLI for owned EC2; agents execute curl against your deck. Requires operator AWS CLI + IAM on instances (managed instance profile). |
+| **Launch Template strain genesis** | Crucible/forge exports `launch-template.json`, `user-data.sh`, ASG example for horizontal EC2 genesis auth (`join_lane=launch_template`). Operator applies in their AWS account. |
+| **Cloud spread kits** | Emberwake Cloud Spread panel ZIPs templates (S3/CloudFront, MinIO, Cloud Map snippets). Connection test is HTTP reachability only. |
+| **Policy snapshot / EventBridge fan-out** | Public `policy-snapshot/{token}` + fan-out ZIP for degraded agents; relay URL is operator-deployed Lambda/EventBridge—server does not call AWS APIs. |
+| **Fargate burst campaign** | Optional burst seeder task definition export; **not** auto-provisioned—operator ECS/Fargate + creds required. |
+| **Live AWS validation** | Full gate needs operator IAM (`s3:PutObject`, CloudFront signing keys, SSM SendCommand on fleet). CI/automation covers mocks; no shared AWS account in repo. |
+
 ## Manual / live / honest partial
 
 | Item | Notes |
 |------|-------|
-| **Erasure-coded multi-lane propagation** | **Partial foundation** — server `internal/erasure/` RS 4+2 + shard API; deploy plans attach `erasure_plan` when Calibrate `server.erasure_lanes_enabled`; agent `deploy/erasure_staging.go` reassembles from parallel lane URLs as fallback when primary staging fails. **Fleet Torrent (partial):** `fleet_torrent_enabled` adds shard DHT gossip, primary seeder election, BGP swarm magnets, and C2 torrent manifest — **not shipped:** live peer HTTP shard serving on agents, UDP/magnet tracker, or erasure-first spread E2E. **AWS Erasure Swarm (partial):** operator `aws_s3_shard_bucket` + `aws_cloudfront_domain` + `AF_AWS_*` / `AF_CLOUDFRONT_*` env; deploy plans upload shards + signed `edge_url` / `xs=` magnets; agents prefer LAN → CloudFront → C2 — **not shipped:** live S3/CloudFront E2E without real operator creds or automated distribution provisioning. |
-| **Onion contingency miner (partial)** | **Partial** — when `ai_control_enabled`, auth pushes `contingency_policy`; agent `ContingencyTreeRunner` walks `inprocess`→`container`→`gpu_subprocess`→`idle_tune`→`self_surgery` with local persona ghost forks (no lateral spread); each hop ships `onion_miner_log` WS + Seer; server `ContingencyOrchestrator` freezes winners and pushes `contingency_branch_params` from graft **mining** genome (not spread tiers) on exhaustion; hospice retires strain after 12 cycles; operator `pause` stops tree. Crucible **ONION N** badge. **Not shipped:** live LLM court invoke on every exhaust tick (deterministic compose today). |
-| **P2 remaining (manual only)** | Live Docker/Podman container start on operator host; real WinRM/GPO/systemd/crontab on remote owned hosts; live BITS/curl against non-mock C2; live multi-hop discover→spread without Playwright stub; live TLS/mesh beacon; full `wg_setup` on real Windows hosts. |

 ## Adaptive Strategy
 
-The server **adaptive strategy engine** (`server/internal/strategy/`) learns from your fleet only: OS fingerprint, Docker/WSL/GPU probes, subnet, `lotl_attempts`, and `mining_hashrate`. On agent auth it pushes `adaptive_strategy` with a personalized `tier_order`, optional `skip_tiers`, and a human-readable `strategy_reasoning[]` trace (weighted scoring — not a black-box LLM). Background rescoring runs every 5 minutes from `stats_batch` / `tier_report` ingestion into SQLite `tier_outcomes`. Adaptive overrides **order and skip hints** only; it does not change wallet, `patch_first`, or other triple-onion gates. Disable via Calibrate `server.adaptive_strategy_enabled` (default `true`). Manual refresh: `POST /api/v1/strategy/recompute`. Crucible **Access Depth → Strategy** shows reasoning bullets and an **Adaptive** badge when the server order differs from default.

 ### Gaps (hard to unit-test)
 
-- **Real Docker/Podman container start** — requires OCI runtime on host; covered by chain logic mocks only.
-- **`DetectContainerRuntime` CLI probe** — depends on `exec.LookPath`; execution mode tests use `SetRuntimeDetector` inject instead.
-- **Live pool + GPU binary on host** — `MiningChainRunner` lifecycle covered in `mining_chain_lifecycle_test.go` with mock container exec + injected hooks; no live Docker daemon or T-Rex download required.
-- **Real WinRM/GPO/systemd/crontab spread execution** — requires elevated Windows domain or Linux init; template export + lane dispatch covered in P2 tests above.
-- **Real BITS/curl/certutil download** — network + OS tooling; injectable staging hooks in `staging_chain_test.go` cover assembly without live transfers.
-- **E2E Crucible lotl_tier badge** — covered in `crucible-command.spec.ts` (stub sends `lotl_tier` + `lotl_attempts` via WS `stats`; requires live server — phase 8 or `AETHERFORGE_URL`).
-- **Playwright fleet recon flow** — Probe & Join POST + stub join_lane ack in `discover-spread.spec.ts`; real lateral spread execution still not E2E.

 ### Agent logs (not a missing API)
 
-- **`get_log` command** — Fleet Roster → Remote Control → Fetch Log (or `GET /api/v1/agents/{id}/log?refresh=1` triggers the command and returns cached tail)
-- **`upload_log` AI tool** — when AI autonomy is enabled, the agent reports log content via `/api/v1/agent/report` after an Ollama tool call

 Unit tests cover `AgentRemoteActions` offline gating and mining live-stats in `components.test.tsx`; Playwright `e2e/remote-actions.spec.ts` mocks an offline agent and asserts disabled buttons.
 
 ### Frontend types (`types/index.ts`)
 
-TypeScript interfaces in `server/web/src/types/` are compile-time contracts only — no runtime JSON schema guards. Validation lives in forms, forge preflight, and server-side handlers.
