Owner decisions recorded: the archive destination stays a directory/UNC
(no object-storage client; share + permissions named at enablement),
parquet-tools-only reading (no re-import), unsigned like the chain (#107).
AuditLog:Archive:RetentionDays (default 0 = never delete; else must exceed
AuditLog:RetentionDays, counted from the archived month's end) and
DeleteSupersededStaleArchives (default true) run after every purge tick.
A retried purge's stale Archived archive is deleted only when a later,
verifying, Purged archive of the same partition provably holds every row:
same prior anchor and the stale chain-end hash at its chain-end sequence
(row or tombstone), every unchained row present by EventId; otherwise it is
reported KeptStale. A sole copy left at Archived is never touched. Deletion
removes only the archive name's own three files in its folder, manifest
first, never a manifest-supplied path. `audit archive cleanup [--dry-run]`
= CleanupAuditArchives (Administrator).
AuditLogArchiveCleanupTests (MSSQL) cover retried purge, kept stale copy,
sole copy, retention and the path guard; each safety rule mutation-checked.
Follow-ups filed: #113, #114, #115.

Item 1 (owner decision: no signing). AuditLog:HashChain:HeadExport (default
off): both centrals periodically read every month's chain head (LastSeq,
LastHash, purge anchor, chained rows, tombstones; one snapshot under the
chain lock SHARED) and append the changed heads to a sink the DB login cannot
write - File (append-only JSONL per node per day, local or UNC) or Syslog
(RFC 5424 over UDP / TCP octet counting). `audit verify-heads --path` reads
those records back (file or syslog-collector lines) and the new
VerifyAuditChainHeads command checks each against the database: Matches /
Extended / Purged, or Mismatch / Regressed / MissingHead / MissingLink /
CountMismatch (exit 3). AuditChainHeadStoreTests forges a chain with the
production hasher: verify-chain says Intact, verify-heads says Mismatch.
Item 3. AuditLog:MaintenanceConnectionString (${secret:}-capable, unset =
today's single login) runs the chain job, chain verify / head export, the
partition switch-out + archive and the per-channel purge on
AuditMaintenanceContext (keyed audit-maintenance repository/archive, purge
actor prefers them). AuditMaintenanceLoginTests runs the hardened setup on
SQL Server: writer (datareader/datawriter/audit_writer) ingests and is
refused chaining and deleting; the chainer+purger login does the full cycle.
Two-login grants documented in Component-AuditLog.md.

Owner decision (b), 2026-11-09. An inbound API method has no site
affinity, so the F2 route-time scope only bounded routed SITE traffic;
the method's central-side effects (Database.*, ExternalSystem,
notifications) still ran for a scoped Deployer. FlowDebugRunner now
refuses FlowDebugRunMethodCommand for a site-scoped caller (site ids,
not Administrator) before the script executes, audits the refusal as a
failed InboundRequest under the operator's name, and raises
SiteScopeViolationException -> ManagementUnauthorized, so the Central
UI and the CLI (same /management command) share the gate.
The page disables the "Inbound API method" entry for scoped Deployers
with the reason (tooltip + inline note), starts them on script entry,
and ignores ?methodId= / a stored method choice. Replay and the
instance-scoped script / value-change Live runs are unchanged. The
route-time scope is kept as defence in depth.
Tests: scoped refused (in- and out-of-scope routing; script never runs,
refusal audited), unscoped/Administrator allowed, scoped Replay allowed,
scoped in-scope value-change Live still runs; bUnit for the disabled
entry, the drill-in, and the unscoped control. Mutation-proven (gate
and UI flag reverted -> 4 red).

Component-AuditLog Retention & Purge describes the archive: directory and
layout, the three files, consistency with the hash chain (SHARED read,
guarded switch, anchor = archived chain end), fail-closed purge, retention
interplay (per-channel overrides are not archived, their tombstones are),
verify/read, and the AuditLog:Archive configuration. alog.md §13.6/§15.2/§16,
CLAUDE.md, HighLevelReqs AL-12, Component-CLI, Component-ManagementService,
docs/components/{CLI,ManagementService}.md and the CLI README drop the
"deferred / 501" wording and document `audit archive list|verify` and the
parquet export.

Component-AuditLog Security & Tamper-Evidence describes the per-month chain,
the chaining job and its lock, both purge paths (checkpoint anchor,
tombstones), pre-existing rows, verification and what an unsigned chain does
not prove. alog.md §11.4/§16, CLAUDE.md, HighLevelReqs AL-11/12,
Component-CLI, Component-ManagementService, docs/components/CLI.md and the
CLI README drop the "no-op placeholder" wording.

The data plane answers a broken inbound method with the generic "Script
compilation failed for this method"; the Roslyn diagnostic reached only the
central log, and the known-bad cache could not be observed or reset per method.
- InboundScriptExecutor keeps the diagnostics with each known-bad record and
exposes GetCompileState(name, currentScript): IsCompiled / IsKnownBad /
LastCompileError, judged against the current script text (a record for older
text is reported as not compiled yet).
- Management: ValidateApiMethodCommand (compile the stored script, return
ApiMethodCompileResult, register nothing, cache untouched) and
RecompileApiMethodCommand (CompileAndRegister without re-sending the entity,
drops the node's ApiMethodCache row, audited "Recompile"). Both Designer, like
UpdateApiMethod; dispatched through the shared ApiMethodCompileOperations.
GetApiMethod keeps the entity fields top-level and adds isCompiled,
isKnownBad, lastCompileError and compileStateNode. Compile state is per
central node and every result names the node.
- CLI: api-method validate --id, api-method recompile --id.
- Central UI: the API-method edit page shows the saved script's compile state
and last error, with Validate and Recompile actions (same operations, same
Designer gate, fresh DI scope).
- RequiredRoleMatrixTests entries; ManagementSurfaceParityTests covers the new
CLI leaves; ApiMethodCompileDiagnosticsTests + an executor CompileState test.
- Docs: CLI README, Component-CLI/ManagementService/InboundAPI, components/*.

Health page gains PendingUpdatesHealthTiles (stale instances / sites with stale
artifacts, Deployer+Administrator only, site-scope narrowed, shared cache). New
GetPendingUpdates management command (Deployer) and 'health pending-updates' CLI
leaf. Flatten/cache computation untouched; the command reads
IPendingUpdatesEvaluator directly because the UI cache is not reachable from
ManagementService.
