# Issue #693 Verification

## Status: ✅ ALREADY IMPLEMENTED ON MAIN

Issue #693 asked for an encrypted backup pipeline for fleet state with three acceptance criteria:
- Nightly backup of ~/.hermes to encrypted archive
- Upload to S3-compatible storage (or local NAS)
- Restore playbook tested end-to-end

All three are already satisfied on `main` in a fresh clone of `timmy-home`.

## Mainline evidence

Repo artifacts already present on `main`:
- `scripts/backup_pipeline.sh`
- `scripts/restore_backup.sh`
- `tests/test_backup_pipeline.py`

What those artifacts already prove:
- `scripts/backup_pipeline.sh` archives `~/.hermes` by default via `BACKUP_SOURCE_DIR="${BACKUP_SOURCE_DIR:-${HOME}/.hermes}"`
- the backup archive is encrypted with `openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -pbkdf2 -iter 200000`
- uploads are supported to either `BACKUP_S3_URI` or `BACKUP_NAS_TARGET`
- the script refuses to run without a remote target, preventing fake-local-only success
- `scripts/restore_backup.sh` verifies the archive SHA256 against the manifest when present, decrypts the archive, and restores it to a caller-provided root
- `tests/test_backup_pipeline.py` exercises the backup + restore round-trip and asserts plaintext tarballs do not leak into backup destinations

## Acceptance criteria check

1. ✅ Nightly backup of ~/.hermes to encrypted archive
   - the pipeline targets `~/.hermes` by default and is explicitly described as a nightly encrypted Hermes backup pipeline
2. ✅ Upload to S3-compatible storage (or local NAS)
   - the script supports `BACKUP_S3_URI` and `BACKUP_NAS_TARGET`
3. ✅ Restore playbook tested end-to-end
   - `tests/test_backup_pipeline.py` performs a full encrypted backup then restore round-trip and compares restored contents byte-for-byte

## Historical trail

- PR #707 first shipped the encrypted backup pipeline on branch `fix/693`
- PR #768 later re-shipped the same feature on branch `fix/693-backup-pipeline`
- both PRs are now closed unmerged, but the requested backup pipeline is present on `main` today and passes targeted verification from a fresh clone
- issue comment history already contains a pointer to PR #707

## Verification run from fresh clone

Commands executed:
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_backup_pipeline.py' -v`
- `bash -n scripts/backup_pipeline.sh scripts/restore_backup.sh`

Observed result:
- both backup pipeline unit/integration tests pass
- both shell scripts parse cleanly
- the repo already contains the encrypted backup pipeline, restore script, and tested round-trip coverage requested by issue #693

## Recommendation

Close issue #693 as already implemented on `main`.
This verification PR exists only to preserve the evidence trail cleanly and close the stale issue without rebuilding the backup pipeline again.
