Homelab Hero · No. 015: your result

Green light, no brakes. 0 Hero Points.

A fresh green check from the same chain that just failed a restore proves nothing — it is the same job, the same code path, the same blind spot. Starting the rebuild on its word erases your margin: if the array stumbles mid-rebuild, the backups you were counting on are the ones that do not restore.

The lesson: Never let the system that failed the test grade its own retest. Restore first, rebuild later.
