Drop the em-dashes, and repair the table one of them was holding up
House style across the organisation, and the punctuation most reliably read as
machine-written. The shell in this repository already used " - " throughout;
only the prose disagreed. Replaced by what each one stood in for rather than by
a single substitute: a colon where an explanation follows, a comma before a
conjunction, brackets where a pair was fencing a parenthetical.

A blind pass corrupted the firewall rule table. Its "not applicable" cells were
em-dashes, so `| - | - |` became `|: |: |` in the one table documenting the
primary control, and nothing about the rendered page looked wrong enough to
notice. Repaired to ASCII hyphens, with a test for cells holding punctuation
and nothing else.

Two more artefacts the same pass introduced, both at line wraps, where the
conjunction rule could not see across the break: a colon before "and", and a
dash that opened a line becoming a colon that opened one.

The em-dash test builds the character from its bytes rather than writing it,
since a check containing what it looks for reports itself and can only pass by
exempting the file it lives in.

1 Baseline, for a devbox built before versions existed none none none

v1: the baseline

Nothing to do. This version exists so that "no version recorded" has a name and a place to be written down, rather than being a gap the tooling has to guess about.

Every devbox built before VERSION existed is a v1 devbox. That is true whether it was built the week this repository started or the week before the change that introduced versioning, because until then there was one supported state: the tip of main, and no way to be at any other.

Establishing where you are

dejima-devbox-upgrade status on a host with no /etc/dejima-devbox/state will tell you it predates version tracking and stop there. It does not assume v1, because a host that is actually at v1 and a host whose state file somebody deleted are the same thing from in here, and picking the friendlier reading is how a check comes to be believed when it does not know.

To record it, run the guest half of the next upgrade. dejima-devbox-bootstrap writes guest_version from this repository's VERSION file, so a host that has been bootstrapped from a checkout is at that checkout's version by construction: there is nothing to type and nothing to get wrong.

For the node half, read 0002 and the ones after it, do the console work each one describes, and record it with dejima-devbox-upgrade mark-node. There is no shortcut, because there is nothing in the guest that can read the hypervisor.

If you are not sure your host is at v1

Then say so with the tool rather than assuming, and check the two things a v1 host is most likely to be wrong about:

sudo dejima-devbox-audit          # both halves, as they stand

A v1 host in good order reports PASS on the v4 half. It has no v6 half at all, because that check arrived in v2, so an old audit reporting a clean PASS is reporting on less than a current one would. That is precisely the situation versions exist to make visible.
