+description: Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change (Experimental)
+---
+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name (e.g., `/opsx:apply add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - `contextFiles`: artifact ID -> array of concrete file paths (varies by schema)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using `/opsx:continue`
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read every file path listed under `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! You can archive this change with `/opsx:archive`.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
+
+### Issue Encountered
+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+description: Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow
+---
+
+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx:archive` (e.g., `/opsx:archive add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Prompt user for confirmation to continue
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Spec sync status (synced / sync skipped / no delta specs)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success (No Delta Specs)**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** No delta specs
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Output On Success With Warnings**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete (with warnings)
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** Sync skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+**Warnings:**
+- Archived with 2 incomplete artifacts
+- Archived with 3 incomplete tasks
+- Delta spec sync was skipped (user chose to skip)
+
+Review the archive if this was not intentional.
+```
+
+**Output On Error (Archive Exists)**
+
+```
+## Archive Failed
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Target:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+
+Target archive directory already exists.
+
+**Options:**
+1. Rename the existing archive
+2. Delete the existing archive if it's a duplicate
+3. Wait until a different date to archive
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use the Skill tool to invoke `openspec-sync-specs` (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+description: Enter explore mode - think through ideas, investigate problems, clarify requirements
+---
+
+Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.
+
+**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER write code or implement features. If the user asks you to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first and create a change proposal. You MAY create OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) if the user asks—that's capturing thinking, not implementing.
+
+**This is a stance, not a workflow.** There are no fixed steps, no required sequence, no mandatory outputs. You're a thinking partner helping the user explore.
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:explore` is whatever the user wants to think about. Could be:
+- A vague idea: "real-time collaboration"
+- A specific problem: "the auth system is getting unwieldy"
+- A change name: "add-dark-mode" (to explore in context of that change)
+- A comparison: "postgres vs sqlite for this"
+- Nothing (just enter explore mode)
+
+---
+
+## The Stance
+
+- **Curious, not prescriptive** - Ask questions that emerge naturally, don't follow a script
+- **Open threads, not interrogations** - Surface multiple interesting directions and let the user follow what resonates. Don't funnel them through a single path of questions.
+- **Visual** - Use ASCII diagrams liberally when they'd help clarify thinking
+- **Adaptive** - Follow interesting threads, pivot when new information emerges
+- **Patient** - Don't rush to conclusions, let the shape of the problem emerge
+- **Grounded** - Explore the actual codebase when relevant, don't just theorize
+
+---
+
+## What You Might Do
+
+Depending on what the user brings, you might:
+
+**Explore the problem space**
+- Ask clarifying questions that emerge from what they said
+- Challenge assumptions
+- Reframe the problem
+- Find analogies
+
+**Investigate the codebase**
+- Map existing architecture relevant to the discussion
+- Find integration points
+- Identify patterns already in use
+- Surface hidden complexity
+
+**Compare options**
+- Brainstorm multiple approaches
+- Build comparison tables
+- Sketch tradeoffs
+- Recommend a path (if asked)
+
+**Visualize**

+
+## OpenSpec Awareness
+
+You have full context of the OpenSpec system. Use it naturally, don't force it.
+
+### Check for context
+
+At the start, quickly check what exists:
+```bash
+openspec list --json
+```
+
+This tells you:
+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status
+- What the user might be working on
+
+If the user mentioned a specific change name, read its artifacts for context.
+
+### When no change exists
+
+Think freely. When insights crystallize, you might offer:
+
+- "This feels solid enough to start a change. Want me to create a proposal?"
+- Or keep exploring - no pressure to formalize
+
+### When a change exists
+
+If the user mentions a change or you detect one is relevant:
+
+1. **Read existing artifacts for context**
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`
+   - `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
+   - etc.
+
+2. **Reference them naturally in conversation**
+   - "Your design mentions using Redis, but we just realized SQLite fits better..."
+   - "The proposal scopes this to premium users, but we're now thinking everyone..."
+
+3. **Offer to capture when decisions are made**
+
+    | Insight Type               | Where to Capture               |
+    |----------------------------|--------------------------------|
+    | New requirement discovered | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+    | Requirement changed        | `specs/<capability>/spec.md` |
+    | Design decision made       | `design.md`                  |
+    | Scope changed              | `proposal.md`                |
+    | New work identified        | `tasks.md`                   |
+    | Assumption invalidated     | Relevant artifact              |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When things crystallize, you might offer a summary - but it's optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+Propose a new change - create the change and generate all artifacts in one step.
+
+I'll create a change with artifacts:
+- proposal.md (what & why)
+- design.md (how)
+- tasks.md (implementation steps)
+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:propose` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` to start implementing."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+---
+
+Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **Select the change**
+
+   If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
+   - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
+   - Auto-select if only one active change exists
+   - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
+
+   Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
+
+2. **Check status to understand the schema**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
+   - Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
+
+3. **Get apply instructions**
+
+   ```bash
+   openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+
+   This returns:
+   - `contextFiles`: artifact ID -> array of concrete file paths (varies by schema - could be proposal/specs/design/tasks or spec/tests/implementation/docs)
+   - Progress (total, complete, remaining)
+   - Task list with status
+   - Dynamic instruction based on current state
+
+   **Handle states:**
+   - If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using openspec-continue-change
+   - If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
+   - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
+
+4. **Read context files**
+
+   Read every file path listed under `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
+   The files depend on the schema being used:
+   - **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
+   - Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
+
+5. **Show current progress**
+
+   Display:
+   - Schema being used
+   - Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - Remaining tasks overview
+   - Dynamic instruction from CLI
+
+6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
+
+   For each pending task:
+   - Show which task is being worked on
+   - Make the code changes required
+   - Keep changes minimal and focused
+   - Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
+   - Continue to next task
+
+   **Pause if:**
+   - Task is unclear → ask for clarification
+   - Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
+   - Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
+   - User interrupts
+
+7. **On completion or pause, show status**
+
+   Display:
+   - Tasks completed this session
+   - Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
+   - If all done: suggest archive
+   - If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
+
+**Output During Implementation**
+
+```
+## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
+
+Working on task 3/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+
+Working on task 4/7: <task description>
+[...implementation happening...]
+✓ Task complete
+```
+
+**Output On Completion**
+
+```
+## Implementation Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
+
+### Completed This Session
+- [x] Task 1
+- [x] Task 2
+...
+
+All tasks complete! Ready to archive this change.
+```
+
+**Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)**
+
+```
+## Implementation Paused
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
+
+### Issue Encountered
+<description of the issue>
+
+**Options:**
+1. <option 1>
+2. <option 2>
+3. Other approach
+
+What would you like to do?
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
+- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
+- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
+- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
+- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
+- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
+- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
+- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
+
+**Fluid Workflow Integration**
+
+This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
+
+- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
+- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

+Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
+
+**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
+
+   Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
+
+   Show only active changes (not already archived).
+   Include the schema used for each change if available.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
+
+2. **Check artifact completion status**
+
+   Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
+
+   Parse the JSON to understand:
+   - `schemaName`: The workflow being used
+   - `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
+
+   **If any artifacts are not `done`:**
+   - Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+3. **Check task completion status**
+
+   Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
+
+   Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
+
+   **If incomplete tasks found:**
+   - Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
+   - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
+   - Proceed if user confirms
+
+   **If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
+
+4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
+
+   Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
+
+   **If delta specs exist:**
+   - Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
+   - Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
+   - Show a combined summary before prompting
+
+   **Prompt options:**
+   - If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
+   - If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
+
+   If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
+
+5. **Perform the archive**
+
+   Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
+   ```
+
+   Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
+
+   **Check if target already exists:**
+   - If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
+   - If no: Move the change directory to archive
+
+   ```bash
+   mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
+   ```
+
+6. **Display summary**
+
+   Show archive completion summary including:
+   - Change name
+   - Schema that was used
+   - Archive location
+   - Whether specs were synced (if applicable)
+   - Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
+
+**Output On Success**
+
+```
+## Archive Complete
+
+**Change:** <change-name>
+**Schema:** <schema-name>
+**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
+**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs (or "No delta specs" or "Sync skipped")
+
+All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
+```
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
+- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
+- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
+- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
+- Show clear summary of what happened
+- If sync is requested, use openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven)
+- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting

+- If there are active changes
+- Their names, schemas, and status

+    | Assumption invalidated     | Relevant artifact              |
+
+   Example offers:
+   - "That's a design decision. Capture it in design.md?"
+   - "This is a new requirement. Add it to specs?"
+   - "This changes scope. Update the proposal?"
+
+4. **The user decides** - Offer and move on. Don't pressure. Don't auto-capture.
+
+---
+
+## What You Don't Have To Do
+
+- Follow a script
+- Ask the same questions every time
+- Produce a specific artifact
+- Reach a conclusion
+- Stay on topic if a tangent is valuable
+- Be brief (this is thinking time)
+

+```
+
+**User is stuck mid-implementation:**
+```
+User: /opsx:explore add-auth-system
+      The OAuth integration is more complex than expected
+
+You: [reads change artifacts]
+
+     You're on task 4: "Implement OAuth flow"

+
+     [draws diagram, explores options, suggests paths]
+
+     Want to update the design to reflect this?
+     Or add a spike task to investigate?
+```
+
+**User wants to compare options:**
+```
+User: Should we use Postgres or SQLite?
+
+You: Generic answer is boring. What's the context?
+
+User: A CLI tool that tracks local dev environments
+
+You: That changes everything.

+
+     Unless... is there a sync component?
+```
+
+---
+
+## Ending Discovery
+
+There's no required ending. Discovery might:
+
+- **Flow into a proposal**: "Ready to start? I can create a change proposal."
+- **Result in artifact updates**: "Updated design.md with these decisions"
+- **Just provide clarity**: User has what they need, moves on
+- **Continue later**: "We can pick this up anytime"
+
+When it feels like things are crystallizing, you might summarize:
+
+```
+## What We Figured Out
+
+**The problem**: [crystallized understanding]
+
+**The approach**: [if one emerged]
+
+**Open questions**: [if any remain]
+
+**Next steps** (if ready):
+- Create a change proposal
+- Keep exploring: just keep talking
+```
+
+But this summary is optional. Sometimes the thinking IS the value.
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- **Don't implement** - Never write code or implement features. Creating OpenSpec artifacts is fine, writing application code is not.
+- **Don't fake understanding** - If something is unclear, dig deeper
+- **Don't rush** - Discovery is thinking time, not task time
+- **Don't force structure** - Let patterns emerge naturally
+- **Don't auto-capture** - Offer to save insights, don't just do it
+- **Do visualize** - A good diagram is worth many paragraphs
+- **Do explore the codebase** - Ground discussions in reality
+- **Do question assumptions** - Including the user's and your own

+Propose a new change - create the change and generate all artifacts in one step.
+
+I'll create a change with artifacts:
+- proposal.md (what & why)
+- design.md (how)
+- tasks.md (implementation steps)
+
+When ready to implement, run /opsx:apply
+
+---
+
+**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
+
+**Steps**
+
+1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
+
+   Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
+   > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
+
+   From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
+
+   **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
+
+2. **Create the change directory**
+   ```bash
+   openspec new change "<name>"
+   ```
+   This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with `.openspec.yaml`.
+
+3. **Get the artifact build order**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>" --json
+   ```
+   Parse the JSON to get:
+   - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
+   - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
+
+4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
+
+   Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
+
+   Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
+
+   a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
+      - Get instructions:
+        ```bash
+        openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
+        ```
+      - The instructions JSON includes:
+        - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
+        - `template`: The structure to use for your output file
+        - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
+        - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
+        - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
+      - Read any completed dependency files for context
+      - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
+      - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
+      - Show brief progress: "Created <artifact-id>"
+
+   b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
+      - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
+      - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
+      - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
+
+   c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
+      - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
+      - Then continue with creation
+
+5. **Show final status**
+   ```bash
+   openspec status --change "<name>"
+   ```
+
+**Output**
+
+After completing all artifacts, summarize:
+- Change name and location
+- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
+- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
+- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks."
+
+**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
+
+- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
+- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
+- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
+- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
+- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
+  - Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
+  - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
+
+**Guardrails**
+- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
+- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
+- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
+- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
+- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

+# Log Upload Behavior in the RDKE Stack
+
+> **Explore mode document** — Researched from codebase and GitHub (rdkcentral/dcm-agent,

+
+## Purpose
+
+This folder documents the full behavioral picture of log upload across the RDKE device stack: who
+triggers it, what it does, what events it emits, which other components depend on its
+outputs, and how boot-time ordering is (or isn't) enforced.

+## Document Index
+
+| File | What It Covers |
+|------|----------------|
+| [callers-and-triggers.md](callers-and-triggers.md) | Every code path that initiates a log upload — who calls what, with what parameters |
+| [consumers-and-events.md](consumers-and-events.md) | IARM/RBUS events emitted by log upload and which components listen |
+| [boot-sequence.md](boot-sequence.md) | Boot-time ordering of backup_logs → reboot-manager → telemetry2_0 → uploadstblogs |
+| [repository-map.md](repository-map.md) | All repos involved, their roles, key files, and interface contracts |
+
+---
+
+## Core Engine: `uploadstblogs`
+
+`uploadstblogs` is simultaneously:
+- a shared library (`libuploadstblogs.la`) callable from C code
+- a standalone binary (`logupload`) callable from scripts or systemd
+
+**Entry points:**
+
+```c
+// Preferred API for C callers (dcm-agent daemon)
+int uploadstblogs_run(const UploadSTBLogsParams* params);
+
+// Legacy argc/argv entry (compatible with shell script calling conventions)
+int uploadstblogs_execute(int argc, char** argv);
+```
+
+**Trigger types recognised at runtime:**
+
+| Value | String arg | Set by |
+|-------|-----------|--------|
+| `TRIGGER_SCHEDULED` | `"cron"` | DCM scheduler callback |
+| `TRIGGER_ONDEMAND` | `"ondemand"` | UploadLogsNow, on-demand paths |
+| `TRIGGER_MANUAL` | `"manual"` | Manual invocation |
+| `TRIGGER_REBOOT` | `"reboot"` | Post-reboot boot sequence |
+| `TRIGGER_MEMCAPTURE` | `"MEMCAPTURE"` | Memory capture event |
+
+---
+
+## Key Signal Files (Runtime Coordination)
+
+These temporary files are the inter-process signaling mechanism between boot-time
+components. All are in `/tmp/`.
+
+| File | Written by | Read by | Meaning |
+|------|-----------|---------|---------|
+| `/tmp/.backup_logs_done` | `backup_logs` | `reboot-manager/reboot-helper`, `telemetry2_0`, `uploadstblogs` | Previous logs are safely archived |
+| `/tmp/Update_rebootInfo_invoked` | `reboot-manager/reboot-reason-fetcher` | `uploadstblogs` | Reboot reason metadata is ready |
+| `/tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_done` | `telemetry2_0` | `uploadstblogs` | Telemetry has scanned PreviousLogs |
+| `stt_received` (RBUS or file) | Network/STT service | `reboot-manager/reboot-helper`, `uploadstblogs` | STT (Set Top Type) identity received |
+| `/tmp/.log-upload.lock` | `uploadstblogs` (flock) | `uploadstblogs` | Single-instance guard |
+| `/tmp/logUploadStatus.txt` | `uploadstblogs` (UploadLogsNow path) | UI/apps querying status | Human-readable status string |

+# Boot-Time Log Upload Sequence
+
+> Part of `Logupload_Behavior/` — see [README.md](README.md) for the full ecosystem map.
+
+---
+
+## Context: Why Boot Order Matters for Log Upload
+
+After a device reboot, `uploadstblogs` must upload the **previous boot's logs** — not the
+current boot's logs. This requires four preparatory steps to complete before upload can
+begin:
+
+1. **Backup** — `backup_logs` must move current→previous logs before anything reads them
+2. **Reboot metadata** — `reboot-manager/reboot-reason-fetcher` must derive and write reboot
+   reason from PreviousLogs before the archive is uploaded (or the wrong reason is embedded)
+3. **Telemetry scan** — `telemetry2_0` must scan PreviousLogs for telemetry markers before
+   the directory is archived and cleared
+4. **Network/STT** — device identity (STT received) must be established so the upload
+   endpoint and filename are correct
+
+Without enforced ordering, these four steps race, producing the defects documented in
+XIONE-18338, DELIA-70285, and XIONE-18607.
+
+---
+
+## Signal File Protocol
+
+All four components coordinate via presence-check files in `/tmp/`. A component writes its
+marker file only after its preparatory work is fully complete. Downstream components poll
+for the file's existence rather than using IPC.
+
+```
+Component             Signal File Written         Condition to Write
+─────────────────     ──────────────────────────  ─────────────────────────────
+backup_logs           /tmp/.backup_logs_done      All previous-log rotation complete
+reboot-manager/       /tmp/Update_rebootInfo_     .backup_logs_done exists AND
+ reboot-reason-       invoked                     stt_received
+ fetcher
+telemetry2_0          /tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_   .backup_logs_done exists AND
+                      done                        PreviousLogs/ scan complete
+uploadstblogs         (none — begins upload)      ALL THREE above exist (120s timeout)

+
+---
+
+## Component Details
+
+### backup_logs (rdkcentral/dcm-agent)
+
+**Role:** The gate-keeper for the entire boot-time sequence.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Reads `LOG_PATH` from device properties
+- Rotates current logs into `$LOG_PATH/PreviousLogs/` using a 4-level rotation strategy
+  (for HDD-disabled devices) or a timestamped strategy (for HDD-enabled devices)
+- Creates a `last_reboot` marker file
+- Optionally runs `disk_threshold_check.sh`
+- Writes `/tmp/.backup_logs_done` when rotation is complete
+
+**Key source files:**
+- `backup_logs/src/backup_logs.c` — orchestration
+- `backup_logs/src/backup_engine.c` — rotation strategy
+- `backup_logs/src/sys_integration.c` — systemd integration
+
+**Timing:** Must complete before any component reads PreviousLogs. If it runs slowly on
+low-memory devices, the entire boot-time upload sequence is delayed proportionally.
+
+---
+
+### reboot-manager / reboot-reason-fetcher (rdkcentral/reboot-manager)
+
+**Role:** Derives and persists the reboot reason from post-reboot log evidence.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Waits for `/tmp/.backup_logs_done` (PreviousLogs is ready)
+- Waits for `stt_received` (device identity confirmed)
+- Reads PreviousLogs to find reboot reason evidence
+- Classifies reason as: `APP_TRIGGERED`, `OPS_TRIGGERED`, `MAINTENANCE_REBOOT`, `FIRMWARE_FAILURE`
+- Writes reboot metadata to:
+  - `/opt/logs/rebootInfo.log`
+  - `/opt/secure/reboot/reboot.info` (JSON)
+  - `/opt/secure/reboot/previousreboot.info` (for next-cycle cyclic loop detection)
+- Writes `/tmp/Update_rebootInfo_invoked`
+
+**Key defect:** DELIA-70285 — if this runs before `backup_logs` completes, PreviousLogs
+may contain the wrong boot's data, causing incorrect reboot reason classification.
+
+---
+
+### telemetry2_0 (rdkcentral/telemetry)
+
+**Role:** Extracts telemetry markers from the previous boot's logs.
+
+**What it does:**
+- Waits for `/tmp/.backup_logs_done`
+- Scans `$LOG_PATH/PreviousLogs/` for log marker patterns defined in telemetry profiles
+- Creates a seekmap of found markers
+- Writes `/tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_done` when scan is complete
+
+**Relationship with uploadstblogs:**
+- `uploadstblogs` produces T2 telemetry events (upload outcome markers)
+- `telemetry2_0` produces its own separate upload (report JSON) to the analytics backend
+- These are two separate upload mechanisms going to two different endpoints
+
+**Signal handling for upload trigger (telemetry's own mechanism):**
+
+| Signal | Effect |
+|--------|--------|
+| SIGUSR1 / kill -10 | Trigger log upload with seekmap reset |
+| Signal 29 (SIGIO) | On-demand log upload without seekmap reset |
+| SIGUSR2 / kill -12 | Reload XConf profile configuration |
+
+---
+
+### uploadstblogs reboot_setup() (rdkcentral/dcm-agent)
+
+**Role:** The actual log packager and uploader for the post-reboot case.
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Polls for all three signal files with 120-second timeout using `clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)`
+2. Archives `PreviousLogs/` into a timestamped `.tar.gz`
+3. Selects upload strategy (Direct or CodeBig fallback)
+4. Uploads via HTTPS or HTTP
+5. Verifies upload success via HTTP response code
+6. Cleans up archive
+7. Emits IARM events and T2 markers
+
+**Timeout behaviour:**
+- Uses `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` (immune to NTP clock jumps) for the 120-second window
+- If timeout expires: proceeds with upload using whatever metadata is available
+- Logs which signals were absent at timeout
+
+---
+
+## The Race Conditions (Current State Without Fix)
+
+Without the signal-file protocol being fully implemented, three defects exist:
+
+### DELIA-70285: Wrong reboot reason
+
+```
+boot
+  ├─ reboot-manager/reboot-helper reads PreviousLogs/
+  │     ← RACE: PreviousLogs not yet populated by backup_logs
+  │     → reads empty or wrong-boot logs
+  │     → derives wrong reboot reason (e.g., SOFTWARE_MASTER_RESET)
+  │
+  └─ backup_logs starts populating PreviousLogs/  (too late)
+```
+
+**Affected platforms:** LLAMA Gen1/Gen2, CELLO
+
+### XIONE-18607: Wrong archive filename timestamp
+
+```
+boot
+  └─ uploadstblogs starts immediately after backup_logs
+        ← RACE: NTP sync not yet complete
+        → clock returns 1970 or pre-NTP epoch
+        → archive filename: stblogs_..._00000000_000000.tar.gz
+        (wrong for days until device reboots again)
+```
+
+**Affected platforms:** XIONE ALPACA IT
+
+### XIONE-18338: UploadOnReboot=false despite XConf offering true
+
+```
+boot
+  └─ uploadstblogs reads DCM settings file for UploadOnReboot value
+        ← RACE: DCM daemon has not yet written settings file
+        → reads default false
+        → skips reboot upload entirely
+```
+
+**Affected platforms:** Alpaca IT / RDK 8.4
+
+---
+
+## Design Proposal (Logupload-Synchronization Change)
+
+The `Logupload-Synchronization` OpenSpec change proposes fixing all three races by
+implementing the full signal-file protocol:
+
+```
+backup_logs      → /tmp/.backup_logs_done
+reboot-manager   → /tmp/Update_rebootInfo_invoked  (polls .backup_logs_done + stt_received)
+telemetry2_0     → /tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_done   (polls .backup_logs_done)
+uploadstblogs    → polls ALL THREE (120s CLOCK_MONOTONIC timeout)
+```
+
+This requires a **coordinated 3-repo release** of:
+- `rdkcentral/dcm-agent` (backup_logs + uploadstblogs changes)
+- `rdkcentral/reboot-manager` (reboot-reason-fetcher signal file writing)
+- `rdkcentral/telemetry` (telemetry2_0 signal file writing)
+
+See `openspec/Logupload-Synchronization/` for full design, requirements, and tasks.

+# Callers and Triggers of Log Upload
+
+> Part of `Logupload_Behavior/` — see [README.md](README.md) for the full ecosystem map.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Log upload in RDKE is triggered from multiple independent paths across at least three
+repositories. Each path carries different parameters and semantics.
+
+---
+
+## Trigger 1 — DCM Agent Scheduler (Periodic / XConf-scheduled)
+
+**Repository:** `rdkcentral/dcm-agent`  
+**File:** `dcm.c` → `dcmRunJobs()`  
+**Interface:** C library API `uploadstblogs_run()`
+
+### How it works
+
+The DCM daemon (`dcmd`) receives a configuration bundle from XConf at boot. This bundle
+includes a cron-style schedule for log uploads. The built-in scheduler fires the
+`DCM_LOGUPLOAD_SCHED` job name when the time arrives, which calls directly into the
+`uploadstblogs` shared library.
+
+```c
+// dcm.c — dcmRunJobs()
+if (strcmp(profileName, DCM_LOGUPLOAD_SCHED) == 0) {
+    UploadSTBLogsParams params = {
+        .flag           = 0,
+        .dcm_flag       = 1,
+        .upload_on_reboot = false,
+        .upload_protocol  = pPrctl,   // from XConf
+        .upload_http_link = pURL,     // from XConf
+        .trigger_type     = TRIGGER_SCHEDULED,
+        .rrd_flag         = false,
+        .rrd_file         = NULL
+    };
+    int result = uploadstblogs_run(&params);
+}
+```
+
+### Parameters sourced from XConf (via DCM settings file)
+
+| XConf field | Maps to | Notes |
+|------------|---------|-------|
+| `LogUploadSettings:UploadRepository:uploadProtocol` | `upload_protocol` | `HTTP` or `HTTPS` |
+| `LogUploadSettings:UploadRepository:URL` | `upload_http_link` | Cloud endpoint URL |
+| `LogUploadSettings:UploadOnReboot` | `upload_on_reboot` | Boolean |
+| Cron expression | Schedule | Parsed by `dcm_cronparse` |
+
+### Blocking condition
+
+If `dcmSettingsGetMMFlag()` returns true (Maintenance Manager enabled), this path is
+suppressed — the Maintenance Manager owns the schedule instead.
+
+---
+
+## Trigger 2 — Maintenance Manager (Scheduled+Unscheduled Maintenance Window)
+
+**Repository:** `rdkcentral/rdkservices`  
+**File:** `MaintenanceManager/MaintenanceManager.cpp` → `task_execution_thread()`  
+**Interface:** Shell script invocation via `system()`
+
+### How it works
+
+The MaintenanceManager (a Thunder/WPEFramework plugin) orchestrates a fixed sequence of
+three maintenance tasks:
+
+```
+1.  /usr/bin/rfcMgr >> /opt/logs/rfcscript.log
+2.  /lib/rdk/swupdate_utility.sh
+3.  /lib/rdk/Start_uploadSTBLogs.sh        ← log upload
+```
+
+Each task is run sequentially. `Start_uploadSTBLogs.sh` wraps the `logupload` binary or the
+legacy `uploadSTBLogs.sh` and passes the DCM-sourced configuration as arguments.
+
+```cpp
+// MaintenanceManager.cpp
+string task_names_foreground[] = {
+    "/usr/bin/rfcMgr >> /opt/logs/rfcscript.log",
+    "/lib/rdk/swupdate_utility.sh",
+    "/lib/rdk/Start_uploadSTBLogs.sh"    // ← uploadstblogs
+};
+// Each task is launched with: system(task.c_str())
+```
+
+### Completion signaling
+
+`Start_uploadSTBLogs.sh` emits IARM events over `IARM_BUS_MAINTENANCE_MGR_NAME` when it
+finishes. The MaintenanceManager waits for `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE` or
+`MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR` before advancing its state machine.
+
+### When it fires
+
+- **Unsolicited (on-boot):** triggered automatically when the device comes online.
+- **Solicited (on-demand):** triggered via `startMaintenance` Thunder API call.
+- Guard condition: only fires when `internetConnectStatus == true`.
+
+### RFC control
+
+```
+Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.StopMaintenance.Enable
+```
+When this RFC is `true`, `stopMaintenance` API can abort the running upload task.
+
+---
+
+## Trigger 3 — SystemServices UploadLogs API (On-demand from App)
+
+**Repository:** `rdkcentral/rdkservices`  
+**File:** `SystemServices/uploadlogs.cpp`  
+**Interface:** Thunder JSON-RPC `org.rdk.SystemServices.uploadLogs`
+
+### How it works
+
+Apps and the RDK UI layer call the SystemServices plugin via JSON-RPC. SystemServices
+reads DCM configuration and calls the log upload binary:
+
+```cpp
+// uploadlogs.cpp — logUploadAsync()
+const char *argArray[] = {
+    "/bin/sh",
+    "/lib/rdk/uploadSTBLogs.sh",
+    tftp_server.c_str(),
+    "0",                     // FLAG
+    "1",                     // DCM_FLAG
+    "0",                     // UploadOnReboot
+    upload_protocol.c_str(),
+    upload_httplink.c_str(),
+    "1",                     // calledFromPlugin
+    0
+};
+pid_t pid = fork();
+if (pid == 0) execve(argArray[0], (char**)argArray, environ);
+```
+
+Upload parameters are read from:
+- `/etc/dcm.properties` or `/opt/dcm.properties` → `LOG_SERVER`
+- DCM settings temp file `/tmp/DCMSettings.conf` → protocol and URL
+- RFC `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.MTLS.mTlsLogUpload.Enable`
+  → controls mTLS / xPKI path selection
+
+
+### RFC control
+
+```
+Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.LogUploadBeforeDeepSleep.Enable
+```
+
+When `false` (default), this path is skipped entirely. When `true`, the device uploads
+logs at reduced priority (`nice -n 19`) immediately before entering deep sleep.
+
+---
+
+## Trigger 5 — UploadLogsNow (Immediate On-Demand Mode - From TR69hostif)
+
+**Repository:** `rdkcentral/dcm-agent`  
+**File:** `uploadstblogs/src/uploadlogsnow.c` → `execute_uploadlogsnow_workflow()`  
+**Interface:** `uploadstblogs uploadlogsnow` (special argv[1] value)
+
+### How it works
+
+When the binary is invoked with `argv[1] == "uploadlogsnow"`, a separate workflow runs
+that:
+1. Copies current logs to a staging area (excluding `dcm/`, `PreviousLogs/`, `PreviousLogs_backup/`)
+2. Creates a tar.gz archive
+3. Uploads to the configured cloud endpoint
+4. Writes human-readable status to `/tmp/logUploadStatus.txt`
+
+```c
+// uploadstblogs.c — parse_args()
+if (argc >= 2 && strcmp(argv[1], "uploadlogsnow") == 0) {
+    ctx->trigger_type        = TRIGGER_ONDEMAND;
+    ctx->uploadlogsnow_mode  = true;
+    ctx->dcm_flag            = 1;
+    ctx->upload_on_reboot    = 1;
+}
+```
+
+### Who calls this
+
+- Tr69hostif RFC : Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_xOpsDeviceMgmt.Logging.xOpsDMUploadLogsNow
+- Manual operator invocation
+- App-layer via Thunder → SystemServices → uploadlogsnow mode
+
+### Behavioural difference from other triggers
+
+- Skips IARM event emission (no MaintenanceManager state changes)
+- Writes `logUploadStatus.txt` for UI polling
+- Does not skip upload even if `UploadOnReboot=false`
+
+---
+
+## Trigger 6 — Post-Reboot Upload (Boot-Time Sequence)
+
+**Repositories:** `rdkcentral/dcm-agent` (backup_logs + uploadstblogs), `rdkcentral/reboot-manager`  
+**Interface:** Signal files in `/tmp/`
+
+### Boot-time ordering constraint
+
+This is the most complex trigger. Four independent processes must complete in order before
+`uploadstblogs` can upload the previous boot's logs:
+
+```
+boot
+ │
+ ├─► backup_logs (C binary, runs early in boot)
+ │       writes: /tmp/.backup_logs_done
+ │
+ ├─► reboot-manager/reboot-reason-fetcher (a.k.a. update-prev-reboot-info)
+ │       waits for: /tmp/.backup_logs_done + stt_received
+ │       writes: /tmp/Update_rebootInfo_invoked
+ │
+ ├─► telemetry2_0 daemon
+ │       waits for: /tmp/.backup_logs_done
+ │       scans: $LOG_PATH/PreviousLogs/ for telemetry markers
+ │       writes: /tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_done
+ │
+ └─► uploadstblogs reboot_setup()
+         polls ALL THREE:
+           /tmp/Update_rebootInfo_invoked
+           /tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_done
+           stt_received
+         timeout: 120 seconds (clock_gettime CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
+         then: executes upload with TRIGGER_REBOOT
+```
+
+### Known race conditions (defect history)
+
+| Defect | Symptom | Root Cause |
+|--------|---------|------------|
+| XIONE-18338 | `UploadOnReboot=false` even when XConf offers `true` | DCM config delivery races boot upload trigger |
+| DELIA-70285 | Wrong reboot reason recorded | `update-prev-reboot-info` reads PreviousLogs before `backup_logs` completes |
+| XIONE-18607 | Wrong filename timestamp for days | `uploadstblogs` archives before NTP clock sync |
+
+---
+
+## Trigger Comparison Table
+
+| Trigger | Who | Interface | Trigger Type | IARM Events | Lock |
+|---------|-----|-----------|--------------|-------------|------|
+| DCM scheduler | dcm-agent `dcmd` | C library `uploadstblogs_run()` | `TRIGGER_SCHEDULED` | yes | yes |
+| MaintenanceManager | rdkservices Thunder plugin | /usr/bin/logupload | `TRIGGER_SCHEDULED` | yes | yes |
+| SystemServices API | rdkservices Thunder plugin |  /usr/bin/logupload  | `TRIGGER_ONDEMAND` | no | yes |
+| UploadLogsNow | TR69hostif RFC | `uploadstblogs uploadlogsnow` | `TRIGGER_ONDEMAND` | no | yes |
+| Post-reboot | boot sequence |  C library `uploadstblogs_run() | `TRIGGER_REBOOT` | yes | yes |
+
+All paths use the `/tmp/.log-upload.lock` flock guard (matching the legacy shell `flock -n`)
+to prevent concurrent uploads.

+# Consumers and Events — Who Reads Log Upload Outputs
+
+> Part of `Logupload_Behavior/` — see [README.md](README.md) for the full ecosystem map.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+`uploadstblogs` produces outputs on three channels: IARM bus events, T2 telemetry markers,
+and filesystem artifacts (uploaded files, status files). Multiple other RDKE components
+subscribe to these outputs.
+
+---
+
+## Channel 1 — IARM Bus Events
+
+### Event bus: `IARM_BUS_MAINTENANCE_MGR_NAME`
+
+These events drive the MaintenanceManager state machine in `rdkcentral/rdkservices`.
+
+| IARM Event Constant | Integer | Meaning |
+|---------------------|---------|---------|
+| `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_INPROGRESS` | 16 | Lock acquired; another instance already running |
+| `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE` | 4 | Upload finished successfully or privacy-aborted |
+| `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR` | 5 | Upload failed after all retries |
+
+**Emitted from:** `uploadstblogs/src/event_manager.c`
+
+```c

+send_iarm_event_maintenance(MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE);   // success
+send_iarm_event_maintenance(MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR);       // failure
+send_iarm_event_maintenance(MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_INPROGRESS); // lock blocked
+```
+
+**Consumed by:** `MaintenanceManager.cpp` → `iarmEventHandler()`
+
+```cpp
+// MaintenanceManager.cpp — iarmEventHandler()
+case MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE:
+    SET_STATUS(g_task_status, LOGUPLOAD_SUCCESS);
+    SET_STATUS(g_task_status, LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE);
+    task_thread.notify_one();   // advance to next maintenance task / completion
+    break;
+case MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR:
+    SET_STATUS(g_task_status, LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE);

+case MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_INPROGRESS:
+    m_task_map[task_names_foreground[2].c_str()] = true;
+    break;
+```
+
+**MaintenanceManager state machine outcome:**
+
+```
+All 3 tasks complete → MAINTENANCE_COMPLETE (or MAINTENANCE_INCOMPLETE/ERROR)
+     ↓
+onMaintenanceStatusChange() fired
+     ↓
+Thunder event "onMaintenanceStatusChange" emitted to JSON-RPC subscribers
+     ↓
+App layer / RDK UI receives completion notification
+```
+
+### Event bus: `IARM_BUS_SYSMGR_NAME`
+
+| Event | Value | Meaning |
+|-------|-------|---------|
+| `LogUploadEvent` with data 0 | success | Emitted on successful upload via normal (non-uploadlogsnow) path |
+| `LogUploadEvent` with data 1 | failed | Upload failed |
+| `LogUploadEvent` with data 2 | aborted | Privacy mode aborted the upload |
+
+**Note:** `LogUploadEvent` is skipped when `ctx->uploadlogsnow_mode == true`.
+
+---
+
+## Channel 2 — T2 Telemetry Markers
+
+**Repository:** `rdkcentral/telemetry`  
+**Header:** `<telemetry_busmessage_sender.h>` (linked when `-DT2_EVENT_ENABLED`)
+
+`uploadstblogs` is a telemetry event *producer*. It notifies `telemetry2_0` of upload
+outcomes via the T2 bus. These markers are collected by the telemetry daemon, batched into
+reports, and uploaded to the cloud analytics backend.
+
+```c
+// uploadstblogs.c — t2_count_notify() / t2_val_notify()
+#ifdef T2_EVENT_ENABLED
+void t2_count_notify(char *marker) { t2_event_d(marker, 1); }
+void t2_val_notify(char *marker, char *val) { t2_event_s(marker, val); }
+#endif
+```
+
+| Marker | Type | When emitted |
+|--------|------|--------------|
+| `SYST_INFO_lu_success` | count | Upload succeeded (any path) |
+| (other markers TBD) | varies | From strategy_handler / upload_engine per failure mode |
+
+`telemetry2_0` is initialized and torn down around the upload:
+```c
+t2_init("uploadstblogs");    // before execution
+// ... upload ...
+t2_uninit();                  // after execution
+```
+
+### Telemetry's own upload mechanism
+
+`telemetry2_0` has **its own internal log upload** mechanism for telemetry reports —
+separate from the general log upload. It can be triggered by:
+- SIGUSR1 / signal 10 → `LOG_UPLOAD` with seekmap reset
+- Signal 29 (SIGIO) → `LOG_UPLOAD_ONDEMAND` without seekmap reset
+- SIGUSR2 / signal 12 → XConf configuration reload
+
+These are **not** managed by `uploadstblogs`. They go to a different endpoint
+(telemetry analytics backend, not the general log server).
+
+---
+
+## Channel 3 — Filesystem Artifacts
+
+### Uploaded archive
+
+The primary output: a `.tar.gz` file uploaded to the cloud endpoint. After successful
+upload the archive is deleted from local storage. The file naming convention uses:
+- MAC address of the device
+- Timestamp (NTP-synchronized — source of XIONE-18607 defect if NTP is not yet synced)
+- Device type / platform identifiers
+
+### Lock file
+
+`/tmp/.log-upload.lock` — created with `open()` + `flock(LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB)`. Released
+on process exit. Multiple concurrent callers (e.g., MaintenanceManager and DCM daemon)
+respect this lock.
+
+### Status file (UploadLogsNow mode only)
+
+`/tmp/logUploadStatus.txt` — written by `uploadlogsnow.c`:
+
+```c
+// uploadlogsnow.c — write_upload_status()
+FILE* fp = fopen(STATUS_FILE, "w");
+fprintf(fp, "%s %s\n", message, timebuf);
+```
+
+Contains a human-readable status string with timestamp. Polled by the app layer / UI
+through SystemServices to display upload progress.
+
+---
+
+## Channel 4 — RBUS (TR-181 parameter reads)
+
+`uploadstblogs` is a *consumer* of RBUS parameters, not a producer. It reads runtime
+configuration via `rbus_interface.c`:
+
+```c
+rbus_open(&g_rbusHandle, "UploadSTBLogs");
+rbus_get(g_rbusHandle, param_name, &paramValue);
+```
+
+TR-181 parameters read at runtime:
+
+| Parameter | Source component | Used for |
+|-----------|-----------------|---------|
+| `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.MTLS.mTlsLogUpload.Enable` | RFC manager | Select mTLS upload path |
+| `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.LogUploadBeforeDeepSleep.Enable` | RFC manager | Deep sleep trigger gate |
+| `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.AutoReboot.Enable` | RFC manager | Maintenance flow |
+| `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.StopMaintenance.Enable` | RFC manager | Allow `stopMaintenance` API |
+| `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.RDKFirmwareUpgrader.Enable` | RFC manager | Maintenance mode change during active maintenance |
+
+---

+
+## What Happens When Upload Fails
+
+### Lock contention (`MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_INPROGRESS`)
+
+Another upload instance holds the lock. `uploadstblogs` returns immediately:
+- Sends `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_INPROGRESS` (value 16) to IARM bus
+- MaintenanceManager marks LOGUPLOAD task map as in-progress (does not advance)
+
+### Upload failure after retries (`MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR`)
+
+All direct and CodeBig fallback attempts exhausted:
+- Sends `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR` to IARM bus
+- MaintenanceManager's `g_task_status` marks LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE (error path)
+- Maintenance cycle ends with `MAINTENANCE_ERROR` or `MAINTENANCE_INCOMPLETE`
+- `SYST_INFO_lu_success` marker NOT emitted
+
+### Privacy mode (`MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE`)
+
+Privacy opt-out active (log directory cleared):
+- Sends `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE` (same as success)
+- No archive created, no upload attempted
+- Maintenance state machine advances normally

+## Repositories Involved
+
+| Repository | GitHub URL | Role in Log Upload |
+|------------|-----------|-------------------|
+| `dcm-agent` | https://github.com/rdkcentral/dcm-agent | **Core engine** — DCM daemon scheduler, uploadstblogs library/binary, backup_logs |
+| `rdkservices` | https://github.com/rdkcentral/rdkservices | **Trigger layer** — MaintenanceManager, SystemServices (UploadLogs, deep sleep) |
+| `reboot-manager` | https://github.com/rdkcentral/reboot-manager | **Boot coordination** — reboot reason derivation, signal file for uploadstblogs |
+| `telemetry` | https://github.com/rdkcentral/telemetry | **Telemetry consumer/producer** — scans PreviousLogs, receives T2 markers |
+| `iarmmgrs` | https://github.com/rdkcentral/iarmmgrs | **Event bus** — IARM bus infrastructure; maintenanceMGR.h defines event constants |
+
+> **Note on `rdk-e`:** `https://github.com/rdk-e/` is an enterprise GitHub org
+> (Comcast internal) that requires SSO. Scripts such as `Start_uploadSTBLogs.sh`,
+> `uploadSTBLogs.sh`, and `update-prev-reboot-info` likely live there and are not
+> publicly accessible. The C migration underway in `dcm-agent` is intended to make the
+> critical logic independent of those private shell scripts.

+
+## rdkservices (rdkcentral/rdkservices)
+
+### Sub-component: `MaintenanceManager`
+
+| File | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `MaintenanceManager/MaintenanceManager.cpp` | Task orchestration, IARM event handler, Thunder API endpoints |
+| `MaintenanceManager/MaintenanceManager.h` | Class and state definitions |
+| `MaintenanceManager/maintenanceMGR.h` (from iarmmgrs) | IARM event constants |
+
+**Key constants:**
+
+```cpp
+#define LOGUPLOAD_TASK  BIN_PATH "Start_uploadSTBLogs.sh"   // /lib/rdk/Start_uploadSTBLogs.sh
+#define TASK_TIMEOUT    /* minutes; per-task watchdog timer */
+```
+
+**API surface (Thunder JSON-RPC `org.rdk.MaintenanceManager.1`):**
+
+| Method | Effect |
+|--------|--------|
+| `startMaintenance` | Triggers solicited maintenance cycle (RFC → FW update → log upload) |
+| `stopMaintenance` | Aborts current maintenance (RFC-gated) |
+| `getMaintenanceActivityStatus` | Returns status: IDLE/STARTED/COMPLETE/ERROR/INCOMPLETE |
+| `setMaintenanceMode` | FOREGROUND/BACKGROUND + opt-out setting |
+| `getMaintenanceStartTime` | Returns scheduled start time |
+
+**Event emitted:**
+
+```
+onMaintenanceStatusChange { "maintenanceStatus": "MAINTENANCE_COMPLETE" }
+```
+
+### Sub-component: `SystemServices/UploadLogs`
+
+| File | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `SystemServices/uploadlogs.cpp` | `logUploadAsync()`, `LogUploadBeforeDeepSleep()` |
+| `SystemServices/uploadlogs.h` | Function declarations |
+| `SystemServices/SystemServices.cpp` | Registers Thunder API endpoints that call into uploadlogs |
+
+**RFC flags consumed:**
+
+| RFC Parameter | Effect |
+|--------------|--------|
+| `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.MTLS.mTlsLogUpload.Enable` | Switch to mTLS/xPKI upload path |
+| `Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.LogUploadBeforeDeepSleep.Enable` | Enable pre-deep-sleep upload |
+
+---
+
+## reboot-manager (rdkcentral/reboot-manager)
+
+### Sub-component: `reboot-reason-fetcher` (formerly `reboot-checker`)
+
+| Directory | Role |
+|-----------|------|
+| `reboot-reason-fetcher/src/` | Reads PreviousLogs, derives reboot reason, writes signal file |
+| `reboot-reason-fetcher/include/` | Header declarations |
+
+**Signal file written:** `/tmp/Update_rebootInfo_invoked`  
+**Signal files polled:** `/tmp/.backup_logs_done`, `stt_received`
+
+### Sub-component: `reboot-helper`
+
+| Directory | Role |
+|-----------|------|
+| `reboot-helper/src/` | Coordinates early-boot helper tasks |
+| `reboot-helper/include/` | Header declarations |
+
+### Sub-component: `rebootnow` (binary)
+
+Handles software-initiated reboots. Relevant to log upload because:
+- Classifies reboot reason (written to `/opt/secure/reboot/reboot.info`)
+- Signals `telemetry2_0` and `parodus` during pre-reboot cleanup
+- Writes `previousreboot.info` for cyclic reboot detection
+
+**Classification categories used by log upload metadata:**
+
+| Class | Example triggers |
+|-------|-----------------|
+| `APP_TRIGGERED` | HtmlDiagnostics, XRE, browser restart |
+| `OPS_TRIGGERED` | Remote management, ACS |
+| `MAINTENANCE_REBOOT` | Firmware update, maintenance window |
+| `FIRMWARE_FAILURE` | Crash path, watchdog |
+
+---
+
+## telemetry (rdkcentral/telemetry)
+
+### `telemetry2_0` daemon
+
+| Directory | Role |
+|-----------|------|
+| `source/bulkdata/` | Profile and marker management |
+| `source/scheduler/` | Report scheduling and upload |
+| `source/xconf-client/` | Fetch telemetry profiles from XConf |
+| `source/dcautil/` | Log marker scanner (PreviousLogs scan) |
+
+**Signal file written:** `/tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_done`  
+**Signal files polled:** `/tmp/.backup_logs_done`
+
+**T2 RBUS data model:**
+
+| RBUS Parameter | Effect |
+|---------------|--------|
+| `Device.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_T2.ReportProfiles` | Persistent telemetry profiles |
+| `Device.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_T2.Temp_ReportProfiles` | Temporary profiles |
+| `Device.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_T2.UploadDCMReport` | Trigger on-demand report upload |
+
+**Important:** `telemetry2_0` uploads telemetry **reports** (analytics data) — not the
+same as `uploadstblogs` which uploads raw log files. They use different endpoints.
+
+---
+
+## iarmmgrs (rdkcentral/iarmmgrs)
+
+Provides the IARM bus event infrastructure. The `maintenance/include/` subdirectory
+contains `maintenanceMGR.h` which defines:
+
+```c
+// maintenanceMGR.h (from iarmmgrs)
+#define IARM_BUS_MAINTENANCE_MGR_NAME "MaintenanceMGR"
+#define IARM_BUS_MAINTENANCEMGR_EVENT_UPDATE  0
+
+typedef enum {
+    MAINT_RFC_COMPLETE       = (1 << 0),
+    MAINT_RFC_ERROR          = (1 << 1),
+    MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE = (1 << 2),   // = 4
+    MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR    = (1 << 3),   // = 5 (approx)
+    MAINT_FWDOWNLOAD_COMPLETE,
+    MAINT_FWDOWNLOAD_ERROR,
+    MAINT_REBOOT_REQUIRED,
+    MAINT_FWDOWNLOAD_ABORTED,
+    MAINT_CRITICAL_UPDATE,
+    MAINT_RFC_INPROGRESS,
+    MAINT_FWDOWNLOAD_INPROGRESS,
+    MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_INPROGRESS = 16,       // = 16
+} IARM_Maint_module_status_t;
+```
+
+Both `uploadstblogs` (sender) and `MaintenanceManager` (receiver) depend on these
+constants for correctness.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Sources (Cross-Cutting)
+
+| Source | What It Provides | Consumer |
+|--------|-----------------|---------|
+| XConf cloud service | `LogUploadSettings:UploadRepository:URL`, protocol, schedule, `UploadOnReboot` | `dcm-agent` → DCM settings file |
+| DCM settings file `/tmp/DCMSettings.conf` | Upload URL, protocol, UploadOnReboot flag | `uploadstblogs`, `SystemServices/uploadlogs.cpp` |
+| RFC / TR-181 | mTLS flag, deep sleep flag, stop maintenance, RDKV FW upgrader | `uploadstblogs`, `MaintenanceManager`, `SystemServices` |
+| `/etc/device.properties` | `DEVICE_TYPE`, `ENABLE_MAINTENANCE`, `BUILD_TYPE`, `FORCE_MTLS` | `uploadstblogs`, `SystemServices` |
+| `/etc/dcm.properties` or `/opt/dcm.properties` | `LOG_SERVER` (TFTP server, legacy) | `SystemServices/uploadlogs.cpp` |
+
+---
+
+## Interface Contracts Between Repos
+
+These are the precise contracts that must be maintained across the three repos involved
+in the boot-time upload sequence:
+
+### dcm-agent ↔ reboot-manager
+
+| Contract | Details |
+|----------|---------|
+| `backup_logs` writes | `/tmp/.backup_logs_done` present = PreviousLogs is fully populated |
+| `reboot-reason-fetcher` reads | PreviousLogs data (log content for reason derivation) |
+| `reboot-reason-fetcher` writes | `/tmp/Update_rebootInfo_invoked` = metadata written to disk |
+
+### dcm-agent ↔ telemetry
+
+| Contract | Details |
+|----------|---------|
+| `backup_logs` writes | `/tmp/.backup_logs_done` present = PreviousLogs is fully populated |
+| `telemetry2_0` reads | PreviousLogs log content for marker extraction |
+| `telemetry2_0` writes | `/tmp/.telemetry_prevlogs_done` = marker scan complete |
+| `uploadstblogs` writes | T2 markers via `t2_event_d()` / `t2_event_s()` |
+
+### dcm-agent ↔ rdkservices (MaintenanceManager)
+
+| Contract | Details |
+|----------|---------|
+| `uploadstblogs` writes | IARM event on `IARM_BUS_MAINTENANCE_MGR_NAME` bus |
+| Event values | `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_COMPLETE=4`, `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_ERROR=5`, `MAINT_LOGUPLOAD_INPROGRESS=16` |
+| `MaintenanceManager` expects | Exactly ONE terminal event (COMPLETE or ERROR) per upload invocation |
+| Breaking change risk | Changing event values or bus name requires synchronized release |

+# L2 Test Coverage Report - DCM Agent Repository
+
+Date: 2026-06-09
+Mode: Coverage cross-check against module functions and functional-test assets under test/functional-tests/
+
+## Summary
+
+Total source functions (approx): ~167
+Functions with direct L2 coverage: ~81
+Functions with indirect L2 coverage: ~31
+Functions with no L2 coverage: ~55
+
+Active L2 test functions: 158
+Disabled L2 test functions: 0
+Active feature scenarios: 69
+Proposed new test scenarios: 24
+
+- High priority: 10
+- Medium priority: 9
+- Low priority: 5
+
+Test files active: 19
+Test files disabled (commented out): 0
+
+Estimated current L2 functional coverage: ~67%
+Target L2 functional coverage: ~80%
+
+## Basis For These Numbers
+
+1. Total source functions is a repository-wide approximation based on function prototypes exposed in module header files, used as a stable proxy for the functional surface reviewed by L2 tests.
+2. Direct coverage means the function area is explicitly exercised by one or more pytest cases and matching feature scenarios in test/functional-tests/.
+3. Indirect coverage means the function area is not asserted in isolation but is exercised transitively through broader boot, configuration, upload, or cleanup flows.
+4. No coverage means no strong evidence was found in the current pytest and feature inventory that the function area is exercised by L2 functional tests.
+
+## Cross-Check Scope
+
+This review covers all current functional-test assets under test/functional-tests/ for these submodules:
+
+1. DCM core
+2. backup_logs
+3. uploadstblogs
+4. usbLogUpload
+
+## Cross-Check Snapshot By Submodule
+
+| Submodule | Approx source functions reviewed | Pytest L2 test functions | Feature scenarios | Directly covered functions (approx) | Indirectly covered functions (approx) | No coverage (approx) |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| DCM core | 36 | 31 | 7 | 23 | 7 | 6 |
+| backup_logs | 20 | 50 | 38 | 14 | 4 | 2 |
+| uploadstblogs | 97 | 70 | 17 | 38 | 17 | 42 |
+| usbLogUpload | 14 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 5 |
+| Total | 167 | 158 | 69 | 81 | 31 | 55 |
+
+## Detailed Pytest Coverage By Submodule
+
+### dcmd
+
+Pytest files reviewed: 7
+
+1. test_start_dcm-agent.py
+	Validates daemon startup, default configuration fetch, waiting-for-telemetry behavior, duplicate-start protection, and teardown.
+2. test_bootup_sequence.py
+	Validates RBUS event subscriptions, telemetry communication, receipt of Setconfig and Processconfig events, scheduler start, and parser output for protocol, URL, timezone, reboot flag, and cron values.
+3. test_existence_of_dcmsettingsFile.py
+	Checks presence of the DCM settings file and maintenance configuration file expected by the daemon.
+4. test_log_upload_onreboot_true_case.py
+	Covers upload-on-reboot enabled behavior, cron presence, firmware cron scheduling, upload cron scheduling, firmware update launch, and upload launch.
+5. test_log_upload_onreboot_false_case.py
+	Covers upload-on-reboot disabled flow, script-start behavior, and coexistence of upload and firmware cron scheduling.
+6. test_log_upload_onreboot_MM_case.py
+	Covers maintenance-manager-enabled behavior together with upload and firmware cron scheduling.
+7. test_log_upload_cron_NULL_case.py
+	Covers null-cron handling and validates that the upload path is not triggered incorrectly.
+
+Current strength:
+
+1. Strong boot and configuration-path validation.
+2. Good coverage of reboot flag and scheduling behavior.
+3. Partial but meaningful coverage of RBUS/telemetry interaction through daemon logs and end-to-end behavior.
+
+Main gaps:
+
+1. Negative-path validation for RBUS initialization and reconnection.
+2. Detailed cron parser edge conditions.
+3. Scheduler stop/remove and malformed-config branches.
+
+### backuplog
+
+Pytest files reviewed: 4
+
+1. test_backup_engine.py
+	Covers HDD-enabled strategy, HDD-disabled four-slot rotation, last_reboot marker creation, exclusion of backup_logs.log, and file pattern matching for .txt, .log, and bootlog files.
+2. test_backuplog_config_manager.py
+	Covers configuration loading, missing or invalid property handling, validation defaults, and reload-oriented configuration behavior.
+3. test_backuplogs_system_integration.py
+	Covers initialization success, backup execution lifecycle, strategy selection logging, completion logging, systemd notification attempts, cleanup behavior, and repeated-run rotation evolution.
+4. test_backuplogs_special_files.py
+	Covers special file configuration parsing, comments and empty-line handling, max-entry limits, copy/move behavior for named files, initialization logging, execute-all completion, and graceful handling of missing source files.
+
+Current strength:
+
+1. Good behavioral coverage across engine, config, integration, and special-file processing.
+2. Strong regression value around backup rotation semantics.
+3. Good validation of operational logging and graceful handling of missing files.
+
+Main gap:
+
+1. These pytest assets exist in the repository but are not currently executed by the active L2 runner scripts.
+
+### uploadstblogs
+
+Pytest files reviewed: 6 general uploadstblogs files, plus 1 uploadLogsNow-specific file documented separately below.
+
+1. test_uploadstblogs_error_handling.py
+	Covers corrupted device properties, malformed configuration, config error logging, invalid-config no-upload behavior, expected exit code behavior, oversized-file handling, partial-upload behavior, empty-log conditions, and telemetry/logging on error.
+2. test_uploadstblogs_normal_upload.py
+	Covers normal upload initialization and large-file collection behavior.
+3. test_uploadstblogs_retry_logic.py
+	Covers network failures, retry count, retry delay, interruption recovery, HTTP 500 handling, failure telemetry, server-error logging, and exit-code behavior.
+4. test_uploadstblogs_security.py
+	Covers mTLS certificate loading, valid certificate flow, telemetry markers, invalid server certificate rejection, handshake failure logging, missing client certificate handling, path traversal prevention, and symlink attack prevention.
+5. test_uploadstblogs_resource_management.py
+	Covers temporary archive cleanup, lock-file removal, file-handle closure, orphaned resource detection, cleanup on failure, memory reasonableness, no-leak expectations, memory release after completion, heavy-load behavior, and concurrent request locking.
+6. test_uploadstblogs_upload_strategies.py
+	Covers on-demand upload, reboot upload, DCM-scheduled upload, RBUS-triggered flows, strategy selection, parameter combinations, telemetry, and strategy logging.
+
+Current strength:
+
+1. Broadest behavioral spread in the repository across normal, error, retry, security, resource, and strategy dimensions.
+2. Good focus on operational risk areas such as network errors, certificate issues, and concurrency.
+3. Useful end-to-end validation of strategy selection and RBUS-triggered flows.
+
+Main gaps:
+
+1. Several tests validate behavior through logs and process return codes rather than direct state inspection.
+2. One strategy-path test can skip at runtime when rbuscli is unavailable.
+3. Some internal helper functions remain only indirectly covered.
+
+### usblogupload
+
+Pytest files reviewed: 1
+
+1. test_usb_logupload.py
+	Covers missing log path, archive creation attempts, MAC-address/file logging path, temporary-directory cleanup, successful USB upload completion, invalid command usage, and invalid mount-point behavior.
+
+Current strength:
+
+1. Good entry-point validation for CLI usage and mount-path outcomes.
+2. Includes both success and failure return-code checks.
+
+Main gaps:
+
+1. Assertions on archive contents and cleanup side effects are still relatively shallow.
+2. Coverage is concentrated in a single pytest file.
+
+### loguploadnow
+
+Pytest files reviewed: 1
+
+1. test_uploadLogsNow.py
+	Covers immediate-trigger behavior, RFC endpoint configuration through RBUS CLI, context initialization, test-log creation, upload success verification through logs and status files, and archive-processing evidence.
+
+Current strength:
+
+1. Good targeted validation of the on-demand upload trigger path.
+2. Stronger success verification than simple process-exit assertions because it also checks log and status evidence.
+
+Main gaps:
+
+1. Depends on environment readiness for RFC endpoint setup and command availability.
+2. Shares implementation surface with uploadstblogs, so some failures will still only be covered transitively.
+
+## Evidence Reviewed
+
+1. Functional pytest files under test/functional-tests/tests/: 19 active files
+2. Feature files under test/functional-tests/features/: 18 files with 69 active scenarios
+3. Commented-out pytest test functions found: 0
+4. Explicit skip markers found: 1 conditional runtime skip in test_uploadstblogs_upload_strategies.py when rbuscli is unavailable
+
+## Important CI Note
+
+The summary above is based on all pytest and feature files added under test/functional-tests/.
+
+Current CI execution is narrower:
+
+1. test/run_l2.sh executes 7 DCM-core test files
+2. test/run_uploadstblogs_l2.sh executes 7 uploadstblogs test files and 1 usbLogUpload test file
+3. backup_logs has functional-test assets in the repository, but those files are not currently invoked by the existing L2 runner scripts
+
+Because of that, repository-present L2 coverage is materially higher than current CI-executed L2 coverage.
+
+## Gap Areas Driving The Proposed New Scenarios
+
+### High Priority
+
+1. backup_logs runner integration gaps, so existing coverage becomes CI-active
+2. uploadstblogs uncovered APIs around retry, RBUS-trigger edge cases, and failure-path handling
+3. DCM core negative paths for RBUS, cron parsing, scheduling, and fallback configuration behavior
+
+### Medium Priority
+
+1. usbLogUpload failure and environment edge cases
+2. uploadstblogs resource cleanup and concurrent-trigger combinations not explicitly asserted today
+3. Orphan feature-to-pytest mappings where scenarios exist but do not prove full API-surface exercise
+
+### Low Priority
+
+1. Additional platform-variation checks
+2. Non-critical fallback and diagnostic branches
+3. Expanded observability assertions around logs and status files
+
+## Method Notes
+
+1. This is a functional coverage review, not a gcov or llvm-cov measurement.
+2. The source-function denominator uses header-level prototypes as the approximation baseline, not every internal static helper in .c files.
+3. If the denominator is expanded to include all internal/static implementation helpers, the percentage will be lower.
