Remote backend: firewall check in server config, log redaction, model-review fixes - #453
Follow-up to #452 (the remote backend). Three things:
The firewall is now part of the server's config and is checked. The server reads the one rule that admits SSH to sheds, and the network around it, and refuses to create or start a VM while they are not as expected.
Credentials in URLs no longer reach logs. The agent, the SSH server, the exec audit record, clone output and provisioning-hook output redact URL userinfo. Commands still run exactly as sent.
Fixes from four independent reviews (GPT Sol, Gemini 4 Carbon, Kimi K3.1 Pro, and CodeRabbit on this PR), each finding verified against the code before it was fixed.
Firewall check
remote.firewall gains source_ranges, source_ranges_env and echo_urls beside mode.
Mode
Expected sources
Server changes the rule
static
the configured list (file or environment variable)
never
auto
the server's own public address, as a /32
only that rule's source ranges
any
not compared
never
The check runs at start-up, in every periodic pass, before each create and start, and again just before the cloud is asked for a VM (a resumed or queued job can be much later than its request).
It verifies the rule's shape (ingress, allow, tcp:22 only, the environment's tag, enabled), its sources, that no other ingress allow rule on the network reaches sheds, and that the network is not the project's default one or another project's.
While it fails, create and start answer 503 FIREWALL_CHECK_FAILED; stop, delete, list and exec keep working, and nothing is stopped or deleted because of it. A service client's 503 carries no address or rule name.
auto learns the address from at least two echo services on different hosts that must agree on one public IPv4 address. It refuses private, reserved and shared ranges, patches at most once in five minutes, and patches only a rule that is otherwise correct.
auto needs two extra custom roles, printed by gce-setup.sh --print --firewall-auto. One is bound with an IAM condition naming the single rule.
Limits, also in the docs: the check reads VPC firewall rules only, not hierarchical or network firewall policies, and no rule filters a shed's outbound traffic.

The larger ones:
A restart could destroy a finished shed whose ready label was written before the local record (Sol).
Guest output was read without a bound: provisioning config, hook output, the proxy reply (Sol) and clone output (Kimi).
A guest that never reads could block stop, delete and shutdown (Sol).
A VM left in creating with no local record was never cleaned up; it is now destroyed after 15 minutes (Gemini and Kimi).
An outgoing job could discard its successor's queued start (Sol).
A streamed create could follow another owner's replacement shed of the same name (Sol).
Instances with an unknown label schema could be stopped or destroyed (Sol).
Unknown keys under remote: were silently dropped; they are now refused at load (Gemini and Kimi).
One echo service could supply auto mode's whole quorum (Sol), including through an IDNA alias (Kimi); reserved ranges were believed (Gemini).
Redaction missed the CLI's '\'' quoting (Sol) and stopped at a backslash, quote or brace before the @ (Gemini and Kimi).
Shed VMs now set enable-oslogin=FALSE (Gemini and Kimi).
A create or start whose instance cannot be read is no longer treated as failed, which would destroy or stop the VM. It stays starting with the new reason cloud_unreadable, nothing is changed, and the periodic pass looks again (CodeRabbit).
A delete the API answered as failed could still be carried out by a later pass (CodeRabbit).
The second of two URLs with no space between them kept its password, and a stream that ended inside a URL passed on its userinfo (CodeRabbit).
Confirmed and left for a later change: an egress deny rule for isolated, reading firewall policies, disabling the guest agent's metadata scripts in the image, a start that finds another label schema being recorded stopped until the next pass, and several low-severity two-fault cases.
Test plan
make build, make lint (0 issues), SHED_REQUIRE_SSHD=1 make test (51 packages), make test-integration-units (59 passed), make test-gce-image, go test -race ./internal/remote/..., GOOS=darwin go build ./... at the head.
Remote dev server on real cloud VMs, three live runs (the last at a782c92 with a freshly baked image):
Smoke: create 49 to 65 s, exec 0.2 s, stop 28 s, start 40 to 50 s, delete 31 to 33 s.
Static mode: a wrong source and a stray rule each give 503 FIREWALL_CHECK_FAILED and no VM; recovery needs no restart.
Auto mode: a wrong source was patched back in 45 to 47 s; a rule with the wrong port was left untouched; the server's key was refused an update of another rule.
Fault paths: a late-failing create ends in error and its VM and disk are destroyed; a destroy the cloud refuses keeps its marker, keeps counting against the limit and completes once allowed; the run limit stops the VM and a start gives a fresh limit.
A hand-made creating VM was left alone for 15 minutes, then destroyed; creates in flight were untouched.
Redaction: a made-up credentialed URL reaches the command intact and appears 0 times in the guest journal, the server log and instance metadata.
A server restart in the middle of a create and of a start: both resumed to running on the same instance, nothing stopped or destroyed.
With another label schema set on an instance mid-create, the shed stayed starting (cloud_unreadable) untouched; restoring the label let it reach running, and a delete freed the name.
Two credentialed URLs in one command, six forms: 0 occurrences of either made-up password in the guest journal, the server log and the audit record.
tests/integration/test_remote_lifecycle.py and test_remote_refusals.py: 12 passed.
Firecracker, dev build at a782c92 with rebuilt images: 113 passed, 0 failed, 39 skipped; mtls modules 36 passed; agent_p50 1902 ms (release: 1902 ms).
VZ, dev build at a782c92 with rebuilt rootfs: 124 passed, 2 failed, 137 skipped. The two failures are on main too (test_bus_and_connect_on_single_listener, test_warn_admits_offlist). agent_p50 1403 to 1653 ms across runs (before: 1503 to 1603 ms).
Not verified live: auto mode's refusal of reserved-range and IDNA answers, the clone output bound under a large clone, the channel log flood limit, a kept create or start after a read that really fails (seen live only through the label-schema case), the firewall gate's 10 s bound, and whether compute.networks.updatePolicy is needed by the patch. The head adds one docs-only commit after a782c92.
Added remote firewall checks with static, automatic, and explicitly acknowledged open-access modes. Failed checks block new shed creation and starts, while existing sheds remain manageable.
Added automatic firewall setup guidance and cleanup for abandoned VM creations.
Security & Privacy
Redacted URL credentials from command logs, audit records, hook output, and error messages.
Setup now avoids overwriting an existing SSH key file.
Bug Fixes
Improved recovery from cloud-read failures and reporting when deletion fails; waits no longer follow replacement sheds.
Added safeguards against oversized guest output and stalled connection shutdowns.
Documentation
Expanded remote-backend setup and configuration guidance, including firewall modes and requirements.
…variable
Static mode now needs its expected source ranges: remote.firewall.source_ranges
in the file, or remote.firewall.source_ranges_env naming a variable that holds
a comma-separated list (default SHED_REMOTE_SOURCE_RANGES), so a config kept in
a public repository holds no address. Exactly one is used. A range wider than
a /24 needs acknowledge_any, and acknowledge_any anywhere brings the guards
mode any already had (refused beside service clients and the isolated default
profile).
Adds the 503 code FIREWALL_CHECK_FAILED and its sentinel for the check that
follows.

String replaces the userinfo of every scheme://user[:pass]@host token
with a fixed marker, wherever it sits in the string, and copies every
other byte unchanged; Args does the same for an argv copy; Writer does
it line by line for a stream. SCP-like git remotes have no scheme and
are left alone. Linear time, no allocation when nothing changes, and a
fuzz test for idempotence, bounded growth and UTF-8 safety.

The agent logged the argv of every command, so a clone URL carrying a
user and token landed in the guest journal. The log now gets a
redacted copy; the command still runs exactly as sent, and env was and
is never logged. Start-failure messages are redacted too.

The sshd "Executing in shed" line, the exec.end audit record (argv0,
or the full argv with audit.exec_argv: full) and git clone's output
streamed to the server log now pass through redact. SanitizeRepoURL,

often the user alone (https://TOKEN@host/...). What runs is unchanged.

… rule's sources
Provider gains EnvFirewallRule (the environment's rule, found by its derived
name) and NetworkIngress (the network and every ingress rule on it). The GCE
client serves both from firewalls.list, which the base role already allows.
FirewallSourceSetter is optional: SetEnvFirewallSources takes no rule name, so
it cannot be aimed at another rule, and refuses anything but canonical IPv4
CIDRs no wider than a /24. On GCE it is firewalls.patch with a body holding
only sourceRanges, and its global operation is waited for.
The fake carries a firewall, and the conformance suite covers the reads and
the patch on both providers.

The connection was closed on cancel only after OnConnect had returned.
OnConnect writes the health handshake, and a far end that accepts the
connection and never reads leaves that write blocked: Stop then waited
for ever, and on the remote backend so did the stop, the delete and the
server shutdown that call StopListener first. The close-on-cancel is now
installed before OnConnect.

Three reads grew with whatever the guest sent:
- the provision config and the provisioning state file were read whole,
so a config path that is a link to an endless device grew the server's
memory until it died. Both are now capped at 1 MiB; passing the cap
ends the exec and fails the load, without a retry;
- a hook's whole output was kept to quote its last five lines. Only the
last 64 KiB is kept now;
- the tcpproxy's CONNECT reply was read to a newline that a hostile
proxy need never send. The line is bounded at 4 KiB.

The backend now reads its environment's firewall rule and the network's other
ingress rules: the rule exists, is an enabled ingress rule on the shed network
allowing tcp:22 only to exactly the environment's tag, admits by address only,
and its sources equal the expected set; no other enabled ingress allow rule
reaches the shed tag or every instance; the network is not the project's
default one.
The check runs at start-up, in every periodic pass, and before a create or
start whose last result is older than 60 s. While it fails, create and start
answer 503 FIREWALL_CHECK_FAILED with the rule, what was expected and what was
found. Stop, delete, list and exec are untouched, the server still starts, and
nothing is stopped or deleted for it.
Auto mode learns the server's public IPv4 address from the echo URLs (https,
no redirects, 64 bytes, one address) and believes it only when two agree. It
then patches the rule's sources to that /32, at most once per five minutes,
only when the rule is otherwise exactly right, and never to a private,
loopback, link-local or unspecified address. After fifteen minutes with no
agreement it refuses new work and leaves the rule alone.

nextStep matched the record by shed ID only. A start job that had
published "running" and not yet left could already have a successor (a
stop registers its own job over it), and a start queued behind that stop
was taken by the old job, found unusable in status "stopping", and
thrown away: the client had been told its start was queued.
nextStep now acts only for the job the shed is registered to, and a job
with no next step gives the shed up in the same critical section, so an
action queued a moment later starts its own job instead of waiting on
one that has already looked.

The start-up pass reports an instance whose shed_schema label it cannot
read and leaves it alone, but the check every job makes before a start,
stop or destroy compared only the shed ID and the environment. After a
rollback from a version with a newer label set, a surviving record or
delete marker could still stop or destroy such an instance.
verify now refuses it. The error is not ErrForeign, so a delete keeps
its marker: the delete is still owed, by a server that reads the labels.

A create's last two writes are the shed_state=ready label and the local
Ready flag. A server that died between them left a finished shed whose
record still held the create, and the next server resumed it. If the VM
had stopped meanwhile (its run limit, a shutdown in the guest), the
resumed create failed waiting for it to run, and a failed create is
cleaned up by destroying the VM and its disk: a finished shed was
destroyed with no delete request.
The ready label is now the commit point. The start-up pass repairs such
a record from the list, as it would adopt the shed, and never starts a
create job for it.
A resumed create also goes back to the instance it was given before it
sends the insert again. Create places an instance where the server is
configured now, so a server restarted with another zone made a second
instance and overwrote the reference to the first, which then ran
unseen. The insert is sent again only when the saved instance is gone.

…sked
Auto mode patches the firewall rule, which needs compute.firewalls.update and
compute.firewalls.get on the rule, compute.networks.updatePolicy on its
network and compute.globalOperations.get for the wait. None of them joins the
base role: a server in static mode still cannot change any rule.
--firewall-auto prints two more custom roles. The rule's own permissions are
bound with an IAM condition on resource.name, so they hold for the one derived
rule; Google documents the Firewall resource type as one a condition can name.
Networks and operations are not, so those two permissions are bound without a
condition. The script says what a holder can do, and that the split comes from
the documentation and has not been run against a live project.

A record or a delete marker was written to a temp file, fsynced and
renamed, but the directory was never flushed, so after a power cut the
rename (or an unlink) could be gone although the call had returned. The
server acts in the cloud on those writes: a lost record leaves an
accepted insert with nothing to resume or clean it up, and a lost marker
takes back an acknowledged delete. Renames and removals now fsync the
directory.

The API's gate lets exactly ["off"] through to a backend without egress
profiles, because it asks for none. The remote backend then refused any
non-empty selection, so a documented way to say "no profile" failed the
create. It now reads the selection the way the gate does.

The stream waited on the shed's name with the request's context, and the
create route is a collection route, so the context carried no owner. If
the shed was deleted and another client created one under the same name
while the stream was open, the wait followed the replacement and sent
its progress and its final state to the first caller.
The wait is now bound to the owner and creation time of the shed the
create returned; when that shed is gone the stream ends with not found.

WaitSettled answered not found as soon as a shed's delete job ended, and
the SSE delete reads that as success. A job that ended because its
destroy failed leaves the VM running, with its marker standing for the
periodic pass, so the client was told "deleted" about a VM that still
billed. The same answer came back when the job had already failed before
the wait began.
WaitSettled now returns ErrDeleteOwed in both cases: when the job it
waited on ended without the instance gone, and when a delete marker
stands with no job. Another client still sees nothing under the name.

The dev template uses static mode with source_ranges_env
(SHED_REMOTE_SOURCE_RANGES), so the address stays in the private env file,
and shows auto mode commented out. A test keeps the template loadable both
ways and free of addresses.
The reference page gains a section on the check: every clause and its reason,
when it runs, what a failure refuses and what it leaves alone, the three
modes, the two extra roles auto needs and what their holder can do, and what
an operator does for each reason. The statements that the server never reads
the firewall rule are gone.

Both are gated on SHED_GCE_LIVE=1 like the existing live read test, create
nothing and change nothing, and log no address. The provider test confirms the
real API's rule shape parses and that the base role's firewalls.list is enough
for both reads; the backend test runs the whole check in static mode.

The network gives a shed no route to another shed and no private route to

The config counted echo_urls entries and the agreement counted answers, so
the same service listed twice (or two paths on one host) supplied the whole
quorum and could point the firewall rule at an address of its choosing. The
config now refuses two entries on one host name, and the agreement counts at
most one answer per host and port whatever built the list.

The shed CLI sends an argv element holding an apostrophe as '\'' inside its
single quotes, and the scanner ended a URL's authority at the backslash. A
password with an apostrophe in it therefore stopped the scan before the '@'

sequence; the tests go through the CLI's quoting and the sshd wrap.

…a start
Only the request was gated. A create saved before a restart was resumed
before the new server's first check and sent its insert whatever that check
found, and a start queued behind a stop was sent however long ago it had
been let in. The create and start jobs now ask the gate just before the
cloud call. A refused create ends in error and a refused start leaves the
shed stopped, both with the new reason "firewall"; a VM that is already up
is never stopped or recorded as stopped because of the check.

net/url puts the whole URL into the error of a failed parse, and the piece
it choked on into the reason (a bad escape, a password it read as a port).
ValidateGitRepoURL wrapped that error, so a create with a URL whose
userinfo was malformed got a 400 INVALID_REPO_URL that repeated the
password, and the CLI printed it. A URL that does not parse cannot be
trusted to redact either: the userinfo is often the part that is wrong.
The refusal now carries net/url's reason only when the reason quotes
nothing, and a fixed sentence otherwise. Seen live with a made-up URL
whose password held a backslash.

The changes add remote firewall checks in static, auto, and any modes; URL-credential redaction; and updates to VM recovery, deletion, and state durability. They also add bounded guest I/O, connection handling changes, and GCE setup and metadata controls.
Changes: Remote firewall checks
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Configuration and setup internal/config/*, Makefile, configs/server.dev-remote.yaml.tmpl, scripts/remote/gce-setup.sh, docs/*, CHANGELOG.md
Remote configuration validates firewall modes, source ranges, and echo URLs. Setup output and documentation describe static and auto settings and permissions.
Provider interfaces and fake and GCE implementations read firewall rules and network ingress. GCE can patch the environment rule’s source ranges and wait for the global operation.
Firewall checks and API handling internal/remote/firewall.go, internal/remote/publicaddr.go, internal/remote/lifecycle.go, internal/remote/jobs.go, internal/api/*
Firewall checks validate rules and network ingress. Auto mode queries HTTPS echo services and can update source ranges. Create and start use the check; API errors map failures to 503 and hide details from service clients.
Create jobs resume against recorded instances. Unreadable cloud state keeps jobs pending for retries. Create waits are bound to the created shed’s owner and creation time.
Abandoned-create cleanup and schema handling internal/remote/reconcile.go, internal/remote/sweep.go, internal/remote/stale_create_test.go, internal/remote/schema_gate_test.go, internal/remote/schema_start_test.go
Startup and periodic passes clean up eligible stale creating instances. Unknown label schemas prevent VM changes and keep applicable jobs pending.
Deletion and state durability internal/remote/lifecycle.go, internal/remote/state/*, internal/remote/limits.go, internal/remote/delete_owed_test.go, internal/remote/marker_write_test.go
Waits distinguish owed deletion from unknown delete state. State writes and removals flush their directories. Limit errors include stuck-deletion counts.
Credential redaction

Summary
Bounded guest reads and output internal/vmutil/bounded.go, internal/vmutil/provisioning.go, internal/vmutil/service.go, internal/vmutil/bounded_test.go
Guest reads and proxy reply lines have size limits. Hook output retention uses bounded buffers.
Connection cancellation and refusal logs internal/vmutil/notify.go, internal/vmutil/notify_test.go, internal/remote/transport/sshlink/sshlink.go, internal/remote/transport/sshlink/sshlink_test.go

A streamed delete can report success when a delete marker file is unreadable or corrupt after a failed destroy, while the VM still exists. This is a narrow edge case but gives a false success signal. Make an unreadable marker report ErrDeleteUnknown and add a test for an individually unreadable marker file before merging.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title names three themes: a firewall check in server config, log redaction, and model-review fixes. The changeset centers on a remote-backend firewall check (config validation, runtime gate, auto mode, 503 FIREWALL_CHECK_FAILED) and URL-credential redaction across logs and output. The firewall and redaction parts match the main changes. The phrase 'model-review fixes' is vague and covers a wide set of follow-up fixes, such as bounded guest output, cleanup, and label-schema handling. The title is partially related and overly broad, but it still refers to real, primary changes.

- Line 60: Update the URL-scanning logic that advances `from` after an authority
scan: resume at the boundary without skipping a separator that overlaps it, so
credentials in the next URL are redacted. Add the provided two-URL input as a
regression case and verify that `v:secret` does not remain in the output.
Review comments at @internal/redact/writer.go:
- Line 56: Update Writer.Write to feed input through the existing buffering and
skip logic in chunks no larger than maxPending, preserving the total input byte
count on success. Extract the per-chunk handling into a helper if needed,
keeping the mutex held and propagating emit or Dropped write errors; ensure an
oversized unbroken token still emits only one Dropped marker.
Review comments at @internal/remote/firewall.go:
- Line 259: Update firewall gate ownership acquisition around b.fw.run so the
gate deadline begins before waiting and a canceled request can stop waiting to
acquire ownership. Preserve the active check’s independent completion; establish
a cancellation-aware acquisition mechanism without interrupting or canceling the
check that currently holds the lock.
Review comments at @internal/remote/jobs.go:
- Around line 633-635: Update the error handling for `b.prov.Get` in the start
flow so a failed follow-up observation preserves the unresolved start state and
retries observation without invoking `failStart` or stopping the running VM.
- Around line 297-298: Update the resumed-create `Get` error handling in
`runCreate` so lookup errors other than `provider.ErrNotFound` leave the record
unfinished and do not call `failCreate` or create a cleanup marker. First verify
that the create-job loop retries a plain error from `runCreate`; if it does not,
establish a retry path that preserves this behavior without scheduling deletion
of the referenced instance.
- Around line 299-305: In the non-ready resume path of the create flow, call
b.verify with the recorded instance reference and job ID before setting the
pending running state; on verification failure, route the error through
failCreate with the existing create-failed status reason. Leave the
ready-instance path and subsequent resume behavior unchanged.
Review comments at @internal/remote/provider/fake/fake.go:
- Around line 279-280: Update cloneRule to deep-copy each Allowed and Denied
entry’s Ports slice after copying the outer slices, so stored and returned rules
do not share nested port backing arrays with their inputs or other copies.
Review comments at @internal/remote/state/store.go:
- Around line 321-322: Update the errors.Is(err, os.ErrNotExist) branch to sync
the containing directory with syncDir before returning success, propagating any
sync failure. Update the missing-marker test expectation to reflect that this
path now performs a directory sync.
- Around line 313-314: Resolve the post-rename sync failure semantics across
writeJSON, saveMarkerLocked, DeleteShed, and reconcile: choose whether an
installed but unsynced marker counts as an acknowledged delete, then ensure the
API result and restart reconciliation/sweep behavior consistently enforce that
choice. A failed delete must not leave a marker that restart treats as
authorization to remove the shed.
Review comments at @internal/vmutil/repo.go:
- Around line 65-66: Update the shared Writer.Flush path so an incomplete
trailing URL authority is masked before emission, including fragments ending
mid-password before the @host; preserve the existing behavior for other text and
allow over-masking after an unterminated :// in the final fragment. Add a test
that ends the stream inside a password and verifies the password is absent from
output.

String jumped to the end of an authority after redacting it. An authority
ends at the first '/', which is the first slash of the next "://" when two
URLs stand with no white space between, as in a JSON-encoded argv:
["https://u:p@one","https://v:q@two/r"]. The jump stepped over that
separator and the second URL kept its user and password, in the exec log
line and in the audit record's argv.
The search now goes on from just after each "://". The tests check every
"://" of the output on its own, for two URLs joined by each possible byte,
and the fuzz target does the same.

…ite brings
Write appended the whole of p to its buffer before it applied the 64 KiB
bound. A guest's data frame can be 16 MiB: one with no space or line break
was copied in full and then dropped, and the buffer kept that capacity for
as long as the writer lived. One with a line end after the long token was
passed on whole.
Write now takes p in pieces of at most 64 KiB through the same logic. A
token longer than the bound is replaced by the one notice wherever it
stands in a Write.

…erinfo
Flush sent the last, unterminated piece of a stream through String, which
needs the '@' to know a userinfo. A clone or hook whose output stopped
inside a credentialed URL (the exec timed out, the link dropped) had the
piece before the '@' written to the server log as it stood:
"https://user:s3c".
Flush now writes a URL whose authority is still open at the end of the
stream as scheme://REDACTED, the host with it. If more is written after a
Flush, it is discarded up to the next space or line break: it is the rest
of a token that can no longer be redacted. Tested with a Flush at every
byte of five lines, with and without the stream going on, and by a new
fuzz target.

… the directory
A removal that unlinked the file and failed to flush its directory
returned an error. The retry found no file and returned success without a
flush, so a caller that retried would take for durable a removal a power
cut could still undo. The directory is now flushed on that path too.
No caller in the tree retries today (a failed removal is logged), so this
closes the contract, not a live failure.

A state write is a temp file, a rename and a flush of the directory. When
the flush failed the write reported an error with the file already in
place. DeleteShed took that for "no marker": it answered the delete as
failed and kept the shed listed. But the marker was on disk, where the
periodic pass reads every marker with no job (the VM was destroyed within
two minutes, under a shed still listed as running) and where the next
start-up drops the record and destroys the VM. A test that makes the
directory writable and unreadable showed it: "the delete was refused and
the VM was destroyed all the same".
The store now names that outcome (state.ErrNotDurable): the file is in
place, only its flush failed. The backend treats it as a written file,
which is what every reader of the directory does. The delete is
acknowledged and carried out; any other write error leaves no marker, so a
refused delete has nothing a later pass could act on. The same goes for a
create's first record: one that is in place is resumed by the next server,
so the create carries on instead of answering 500 for a shed a restart
would have built.
DeleteShed also changed the marker of a failed create's clean-up job in
memory before it had written the change; it now writes first.

… progress
firewallGate took the check's lock with sync.Mutex.Lock and started its 10 s
budget only once it had it. A periodic check may hold the lock for 30 s, so
a create or start with a stale result could wait 40 s, past the time a
client waits for the reply, and a request whose client had gone could not
leave the wait at all.
The lock is now a one-slot channel. The gate's budget runs from the moment
it is asked: a caller whose turn does not come in 10 s is refused with
FIREWALL_CHECK_FAILED like any other failed check, and one whose context
ends leaves at once. The check in progress is never interrupted, and a
caller that waited for it uses its result when it is fresh.

…nothing
A create resumed after a restart reads the instance its first attempt was
given. Any error of that read but "not found" failed the create, and a
failed create writes a clean-up marker whose delete job destroys the VM
without asking what it is. So one failed read, of an instance the server
knew nothing about at that moment, queued a VM for destruction: a create
half done, or a shed the server that died had already labelled ready and
that the list did not show (a server back with another zone). The same
went for the read that precedes the ready label, with everything else
done.
A read that fails is now not an answer. The create is kept: nothing is
changed in the cloud, no marker is written, and the record stays
"starting" with its job and the new reason cloud_unreadable. The periodic
pass runs it again (one read per pass), as do a start call and the next
server start; once the cloud answers it carries on, or is recorded as the
finished shed it is. A stop asked for meanwhile stays queued behind it. A
delete ends it like any shed, VM included, so it cannot hold its name or
bill for ever; until then it counts under the limits, since its VM may
run.
"Not found" still sends the insert again and "another environment's"
still fails the create, which destroys nothing of someone else's.

…es the guest
An instance labelled by another version of the label set is reported and
never touched. The start-up pass keeps to that (it cannot read whose the
instance is and leaves it alone), which means the record's unfinished
create is resumed, and the create read only the shed ID and environment
before it went on: it waited for the instance, connected to its agent,
set up credentials, cloned and provisioned, and met the schema check only
before the ready label. An instance already labelled ready was recorded
as finished and probed.
The schema is now read with the ID, before anything else. On a mismatch
the create is kept as it is (reason cloud_unreadable) and nothing is
connected to, written or marked. It is not failed: a failed create leaves
a clean-up marker, and the server that does read these labels would
destroy the VM on the strength of it, finished shed or not. That server
carries the create on instead. A delete still ends it (its marker waits
for a server that reads the labels, as before).

…nning VM
A start resumed after a restart may find its VM already up. When the
firewall check failed, the job read the instance to see whether to follow
it; when that read failed too, the start was failed, and a failed start
whose cause is not a refusal stops the VM. If the cloud answered again a
moment later, a running VM was stopped because one read had failed. The
read that precedes the start call ended the same way.
Both reads now keep the start instead (as a resumed create is kept):
nothing is sent, nothing is stopped, the shed stays "starting" with
reason cloud_unreadable, and the periodic pass, a start call or the next
server start looks again. A VM that turns out to be stopped while the
firewall check still fails is then recorded stopped (firewall), as
before; "not found" still drops the record. A start the cloud accepted
and that then fails is still stopped: that is not a failed read.

…loud answers
A create or start that was kept because its instance could not be read kept
the reason cloud_unreadable after the cloud had answered and the job had
gone on: through the wait for the insert or the start, the boot, the wait
for the agent, the clone and the provisioning. For all of that time the
shed read "starting (cloud_unreadable)" to whoever listed it, as if the
server were still waiting for the cloud and nothing were happening. Only
the job's end cleared it.
The reason is now taken off as soon as the read the job was kept for has
been answered and the job carries on. A job that is kept a second time gets
the reason and its log line again. A create kept for another label schema
is not affected: its read is answered and it is kept all the same.

The live run saw it: the create path keeps such a shed with reason
cloud_unreadable, the start path records it stopped and the next periodic
pass corrects the status. Nothing is stopped or destroyed either way.

Propagate marker-read errors instead of reporting deletion as complete.
If destruction failed and its job has ended, the marker is the remaining evidence that deletion is incomplete. If Markers then fails, this branch returns false. WaitSettled consequently returns not-found, which deleteAndWait accepts as successful deletion even though the VM remains.
Propagate the storage error through WaitSettled. Based on learnings, keep an unreadable backend state distinct from a confirmed missing resource.

… failed
A start reads its instance before the start call. When the instance carried
the shed's ID under another label schema, verify answered ErrInvalid, which
runStart took for a failed start: the record went to "stopped" with no job
while the VM might be running, and the clean-up tried a stop that only the
stop's own label check refused. Seen on a real VM: the log read "failed ()"
and the shed was listed stopped until the next periodic pass.
verify now returns a typed error for that case (still an ErrInvalid for the
callers that only refuse), and runStart keeps the start for it, as runCreate
does: starting, reason cloud_unreadable, nothing sent to the cloud or the
guest, one look per periodic pass, logged once. The provider's own ErrInvalid
(a start the cloud turns down) still fails the start.
The read that follows a failing firewall check is unchanged and says why: it
uses the instance's state only, which is no label. A VM that is not up is
refused (stopped, firewall); one that is up goes on to the label check and is
kept there.
The reference page's cloud_unreadable row says again that a create or start
is kept in both cases.

The read before the ready label is the second place a create can meet labels
of another version (the first, at the start of a resumed create, already
keeps it). There the create was failed: inside the fast-fail window the
client got an invalid-request error and the record was dropped, and in every
case a clean-up marker was left that a server reading those labels would act
on by destroying a VM that is set up and good. It is kept now, by the same
typed error the start uses.

…cannot be read
After a destroy failed and its job ended, the delete marker on disk is the
only evidence that the delete is unfinished. WaitSettled read the markers to
find it, and took a read that failed for "no marker": it answered not-found,
which a streamed delete (deleteAndWait) reports as a finished delete while
the VM still exists.
The read's failure is now returned as ErrDeleteUnknown, which is not
not-found, so the stream ends in an error. The cause names the state
directory and goes to the server log, not to the caller. Markers are still
read only when one is known to stand, so a name that never existed is
answered not-found without touching the disk in the ordinary case.

…s as t.Run cases
store_durable_test.go: the read-only-directory case skips as root, and its
t.Skip marked the whole test skipped, flush checks that had already run
included. The three outcomes are cases of one table now, each on its own
store, and only the permission case skips.
unread_test.go: the delete and the stop asked of a kept create shared their
set-up line for line; they are two cases of TestKeptCreateStaysUsable.

… labels
Seen on a real VM: the delete is recorded and answered with an error, the
shed leaves the list and the VM keeps running until its labels can be read.

On the outside-diff comment (internal/remote/lifecycle.go, marker read in WaitSettled): confirmed and fixed in 54a88e3. A failed marker read is returned as ErrDeleteUnknown, not not-found, so a streamed delete ends in an error. Test nitpicks: store_durable_test.go is now three t.Run cases so only the permission case skips, and two kept-create tests share a table (88eb2dd); the three firewall gate tests are left as they are because their bodies differ.

- Line 629: Update Store.Markers and the deleteAndWait handling so an unreadable
pending marker cannot reach the return false, nil path as a completed delete;
propagate the marker-read failure or check known pending markers explicitly, and
report ErrDeleteUnknown when the marker state cannot be determined. Add coverage
for an unreadable marker file, preserving the existing directory-listing failure
behavior.

…ile cannot be read
The store leaves out a marker file it cannot read or parse, without an
error, so a wait for a shed whose destroy had failed answered not-found,
which a streamed delete reads as done while the VM still exists. A marker
the server knows to stand that does not come back from the read is now an
unknown outcome (ErrDeleteUnknown), as a failed read of the directory is.

Summary
Follow-up to #452 (the remote backend). Three things:
Firewall check
remote.firewallgainssource_ranges,source_ranges_envandecho_urlsbesidemode.staticautoany503 FIREWALL_CHECK_FAILED; stop, delete, list and exec keep working, and nothing is stopped or deleted because of it. A service client's 503 carries no address or rule name.autolearns the address from at least two echo services on different hosts that must agree on one public IPv4 address. It refuses private, reserved and shared ranges, patches at most once in five minutes, and patches only a rule that is otherwise correct.autoneeds two extra custom roles, printed bygce-setup.sh --print --firewall-auto. One is bound with an IAM condition naming the single rule.Limits, also in the docs: the check reads VPC firewall rules only, not hierarchical or network firewall policies, and no rule filters a shed's outbound traffic.
