spaced: install guest-update targets by platform and architecture - #1743
Install guest-update targets in one node catalog keyed by recovery contract and architecture. Linux and Windows authorities remain independent, so changing one does not cancel the other's receipts. Manager execution and CLI selection use the same catalog model.
The installer rejects noncanonical descriptor field order and malformed catalogs before publishing, verifies payload identities, publishes immutable bundles before atomically selecting policy, and preserves authorization on identical reinstall. Worker images carry their Linux bundle; node installation can add independent Windows targets. The catalog has no template-digest qualification list. Manager-owned maintenance requires a 0.8.2-or-newer guest with a recovery contract matching the trusted image profile; no template lookup is involved. This commit does not enable automatic admission.
Validation
Catalog selection and malformed-authority tests, 10 manager guest-update tests and the CLI policy-read test passed. A disposable installer exercise covered reinstall stability, mixed platforms, target replacement and corruption refusal. Reordered top-level and nested descriptor fields reproduced acceptance before the fix and refusal afterward; correctly ordered retries succeeded. Invalid catalogs now report a drain/remove/reinstall action without changing installed authority. Affected all-target/all-feature Clippy passed on macOS and aarch64 Linux musl.
Severity and risk
Severity: Medium: unstable or malformed authority can cancel in-flight maintenance and replenish retry budgets.
Install manager, CLI and catalog as one node release. There is one catalog format, with no single-target fallback. An invalid or incompatible entry fails closed. Restoring an older manager also requires its matching policy configuration; drain unfinished operations before replacing their authority.
AI assistance: Codex drafted code, tests, installer, documentation and this description.
Eligibility deliberately uses matching guest capability and a fixed maintenance floor. Template-attestation assertions were removed because publisher-independent qualification is outside this contract; baseline/platform and local-authority tests replace those assertions. Broken guest supervision can require manual repair.
Identical offline image builds derive the same UUIDv8 authorization from the full promotion. Preserved catalog entries are validated before publication. Direct installations merge entries; container deployments must bake the complete platform catalog into the image.
Synthetic installer checks reproduce the old cross-root authorization mismatch and verify identical new catalogs, mixed-platform replacement, and rejection of malformed preserved entries without publishing.
After investigation, --authorization explicitly authorizes another bounded attempt. Default independent image builds remain deterministic, and identical reinstalls preserve an explicit authorization. Catalog-only documentation already describes independent platform authorities.

Walkthrough
The changes add a catalog of installed guest-update policies keyed by recovery platform and architecture. A new installer validates bundles and publishes catalog entries. The worker image includes installed guest-update files. The CLI and guest update service select policies for requested targets and check platform and architecture compatibility. Guest qualification checks supported recovery contracts and version bounds instead of qualified-template membership.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 2684b
Installing over an old single-promotion policy file now fails with a clear instruction instead of a bare error, and nothing is published. The catalog-based guest-update install looks safe to merge.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 2684b
The catalog keeps platform authorities independent and preserves authorization across identical reinstalls. Updates remain restricted to authorized local operators and installed bundles. The main design tradeoffs are reliance on guest-reported recovery capability and the requirement to deploy compatible manager, CLI, and policy versions together.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — Catalog authority is node-scoped and can cover eligible customer executions of multiple platforms. Each admitted update remains bound to one sandbox execution. Maintenance entry points retain the root-or-local-operator restriction; catalog installation does not itself admit guest updates.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Guest status influences eligibility and CLI selection, but does not supply artifact paths or new authority. The manager uses fixed paths, rejects symlinked or group/other-writable root-owned artifact paths, and checks target digest, versions, platform, architecture, host compatibility, promotion, and authorization before permitting updates.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — A publication failure before catalog replacement leaves the previous authority selected and may leave an unselected immutable bundle that a retry can verify and reuse. Withdrawn authority cancels pending work or rejects trial confirmation. Existing settlement paths retain execution fencing, abort staged work, restore configuration, and release admission ownership.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Cache the catalog snapshot or accept the repeated blocking read per permits call.
permits calls load, and load calls catalog(). Each call parses policy.json through spawn_blocking. The cost is bounded by MAX_METADATA_BYTES and the path runs at Arm and Commit only. No defect exists today. Reread policy.json in permits deliberately, because it provides the fresh authority recheck.

156-157: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Low value
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Validate policy.json as a catalog before it is parsed as one, and handle malformed JSON.
read_json can raise json.JSONDecodeError. json.JSONDecodeError is a ValueError subclass, so the CLI catches it. The message is then only a raw JSON parse error, with no drain, remove, and reinstall instruction. A truncated or hand-edited policy.json triggers this. The installer already gives that instruction for a valid JSON file that is not a catalog. Catch the decode error at Line 156 and re-raise the same operator instruction.
Also, validate_catalog calls uuid.UUID(entry["authorization"]). A non-UUID string raises ValueError with a generic message, which is acceptable. A previous["promotion"]["target_version"] lookup at Line 186 is safe only because validate_catalog ran first.
