#+TITLE: Session Context - Active Session #+DATE: 2026-01-25 * Session: Sunday 2026-01-25 @ 00:15 CST (continued to ~05:45) ** Current Task: LUKS Automated Testing - Almost Working *** Summary Implementing automated LUKS passphrase handling for reboot tests. Using hybrid approach: sendkey for GRUB prompt + keyfile for initramfs. *** What's Working 1. sendkey for GRUB passphrase - WORKING - Monitor socket added to VM - handle_luks_passphrase() detects prompt and sends keystrokes - GRUB successfully decrypts (serial shows "Slot 0 opened") - Kernel and initramfs load successfully 2. Keyfile setup - WORKING - setup_luks_testing_keyfile() creates keyfile - Adds keyfile to LUKS slot 1 - Embeds in initramfs via FILES= - Updates crypttab to use keyfile *** Bug Just Fixed configure_btrfs_initramfs() was overwriting HOOKS and removing the encrypt hook. Just fixed by checking if LUKS is enabled and including encrypt hook. The fix (in btrfs.sh line ~815-825): #+begin_src bash local encrypt_hook="" [[ "$NO_ENCRYPT" != "yes" && -n "$LUKS_PASSPHRASE" ]] && encrypt_hook="encrypt " # Then include ${encrypt_hook} in HOOKS sed command #+end_src *** Next Step Run the test again to verify the fix works: ./scripts/test-install.sh btrfs-luks *** Files Modified This Session - custom/lib/btrfs.sh - Added setup_luks_testing_keyfile() function - Modified configure_crypttab() for keyfile support - Modified configure_luks_initramfs() for keyfile in FILES= - Fixed configure_btrfs_initramfs() to preserve encrypt hook - custom/archangel - Added call to setup_luks_testing_keyfile() in LUKS flow - scripts/test-install.sh - Added monitor socket to start_vm_from_disk() - Added handle_luks_passphrase() function - Added send_key_to_monitor() function - Integrated LUKS handling into reboot test flow - scripts/test-configs/btrfs-luks.conf - Added TESTING=yes - scripts/test-configs/btrfs-mirror-luks.conf - Added TESTING=yes - docs/TESTING-STRATEGY.org - New file documenting approach *** Commits Made This Session - a099f50: Add ISO naming task, update session context *** Test Results Before Fix - btrfs-single: PASS - btrfs-mirror: PASS - btrfs-stripe: PASS - btrfs-luks: FAIL (encrypt hook missing - just fixed) - btrfs-mirror-luks: FAIL (same issue) *** Technical Details LUKS Boot Flow: 1. GRUB decrypts /boot with GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK (sendkey provides passphrase) 2. GRUB loads kernel and initramfs 3. Initramfs encrypt hook decrypts root (keyfile provides passphrase) 4. Root mounted, boot continues sendkey Implementation: - QEMU monitor socket: -monitor unix:$VM_DIR/monitor-${test_name}.sock,server,nowait - Watch serial log for "Enter passphrase for" - Send passphrase char-by-char via "sendkey" monitor command - Character mapping (a-z, 0-9, special chars to QEMU key names) Keyfile Implementation: - Random 2KB keyfile at /etc/cryptroot.key - Added to LUKS slot 1 (passphrase stays in slot 0) - Embedded in initramfs via mkinitcpio FILES=() - crypttab uses keyfile path instead of "none" *** Decision Rationale Chose hybrid approach (sendkey + keyfile) over: - Option A (unencrypted /boot): Tests different code path than production - Option B (accept limitation): Would miss integration bugs like empty grub.cfg Documented in docs/TESTING-STRATEGY.org. *** ISO on Ventoy archzfs-vmlinuz-6.12.66-lts-2026-01-25-x86_64.iso (2.1G) Updated on Ventoy flash drive. *** Remaining Work 1. Verify encrypt hook fix works 2. Run full btrfs test suite including LUKS configs 3. If passing, commit all changes 4. Continue to Phase 5 (CLI tools) or Phase 6 (documentation)
