Who last built the collector
Did the last collector build actually work?
A green build receipt is a claim, not proof the service is healthy. Ask Quox to check both: it reads the build daemon's receipt, then verifies the running container on its own, and tells you first where the two disagree.
What you get: the difference between “the build reported ok” and “the service is healthy”, answered in one question. In this run the build daemon’s receipt said ok and the container was up, but the collector’s own health report said degraded. Quox led with that, explained why, and did not call it good.
Host names are replaced with their role; everything else is from the recorded run.
The setup
Section titled “The setup”You want to know whether the last build of the collector, the service at the heart of Quox, really worked. You ask Quox to check the build daemon’s receipt, then verify the container independently, and to lead with anything that disagrees. This is the exact question from the recorded run:
Did the last collector build actually work? Check the build daemon's own receipt, then independently verify the collector container is really up and healthy before you call it good. If anything disagrees, lead with that.

Mostly agrees, with one caveat that matters: the collector is up, but its own health report says "degraded", not "ok". The receipt. Build receipt 947 (target collector, terminal WAZUH-AUDIT, stream wazuh-500, host dev-box) reports ok after 200 seconds. The log tail shows the image built, quox-collector was recreated and started, and quox-auth was healthy. The compose warnings about volumes created under the web-app project are noise, not failures. The independent check. • Container: quox-collector is running and Docker reports it "Up About an hour (healthy)". That fits the 16:05 UTC rebuild. • HTTP: /health returned 200 in 699 ms, but the body says "status":"degraded" . The verifier's "verified: true" only means the container is alive and answering. It does not mean the service is healthy. • Version: the collector reports 16e83dd06 . The receipt carries no commit hash, so I could not confirm this is the build you meant. The build daemon can coalesce requests and skip your commit while still reporting ok, so check the commit before relying on this (memory 01M64G…). Why it is degraded. • Evidence reconciliation: state is failed , with 182,941 open incidents. Almost all are integrity incidents (182,937 of 195,938 sources checked). Completeness has 19. It is still ticking (last tick 17:17:50 UTC) with no error, so this looks like a standing backlog and not a crash. I can't tell from this read whether the rebuild caused it. • Agent auth rejections: 17 of 40 tracked hosts are being rejected. All 17 have never succeeded. The incident is open, with 2,506 rejections in total. Auth gate posture is enforce , and 23 agents are connected. • Execution ledger: 27 executions have an unknown outcome. Nothing is in flight and no receipts are owed. What looks fine. Storage has 43% free (about 514 GB). Audit writes show no failures. WARD hooks are ready, with signing on and nothing dropped. My read. The build worked and the container is running. I would not call the collector good. The degraded status looks like an existing integrity backlog plus unenrolled agents being rejected, not a build fault. I can ask sentinel to look at the 17 rejected hosts and whether the integrity incidents predate this build. Do you want me to? Grounding check: a page is not the total: "2,506 rejections (the tool's total is 23)". Treat these as unverified.

The work
Section titled “The work”The whole job took 31 seconds and two tool calls, both read-only. Nothing was rebuilt or changed, so nothing needed your approval.
- Quox takes the question. The request passed Quox’s control checks (who is asking, and whether policy lets it go ahead) before any model ran. Out of 317 tools, 16 were offered for the job.
- It reads the build daemon’s receipt.
bob_build_statusfor the collector returned in 4.8 seconds: build receipt 947, status ok, after 200 seconds of building. The log tail showed the image built and the collector container recreated and started. - It verifies the deploy on its own.
bob_verify_deployfor the collector returned in 5.2 seconds: the container was running and Docker reported it healthy, and the/healthendpoint answered 200 in 699 milliseconds. - It reads the health body, not just the status code. The 200 carried
"status":"degraded". Quox treated “the container answered” and “the service is healthy” as two different claims, and only one of them held. - It checks what the receipt cannot prove. The collector reported commit
16e83dd06, but the receipt carries no commit hash, so Quox said it could not confirm this was the build you meant. - It explains, then offers, but does not act. It broke down why the service was degraded and offered to hand the follow-up to another Quox agent, sentinel. It started nothing on its own. Each tool call was written to the audit record as an evidence envelope.
The result
Section titled “The result”- Who built it: receipt 947 was raised by the WAZUH-AUDIT session, on stream wazuh-500, on the dev box.
- The build: worked. Receipt 947 says ok, and the container is running and reports healthy to Docker.
- The service: degraded, not ok. That is the part that disagrees, and Quox put it first.
- Why it was degraded: evidence reconciliation was in a failed state with 182,941 open incidents, almost all of them integrity incidents, and still ticking with no error, which looks like a standing backlog rather than a crash. 17 of 40 tracked hosts were being refused at agent sign-in, all of them hosts that had never signed in successfully. 27 executions had an unknown outcome, with nothing in flight.
- What looked fine: 43% of storage free, no failed audit writes, and evidence signing ready with nothing dropped.
- Quox’s read: the build worked and the container is running, but it would not call the collector good. The degraded status looks like existing problems, not a build fault.
- What Quox flagged about itself: its own grounding check marked one figure, the 2,506 refused sign-ins, as unverified, because the tool returned a page of results rather than the total. The answer shows that flag rather than hiding it.
What that got you: you did not take a green receipt on trust. You learned the build was fine and the service was not, and where to look next, from one question.
Do it yourself
Section titled “Do it yourself”The build daemon’s receipts are on the CLI too, all read-only:
quox build latestquox build historyquox build latest shows the newest receipt for each build target, and quox build history lists the witnessed receipts, newest first. A receipt tells you the build finished. Check the service’s own health before you call it good.
How it is checked
Section titled “How it is checked”The proof engine asked the question through chat and checked what Quox actually did, not only what it said:
- Quox read the build daemon’s receipt for the collector, and the answer reported it;
- Quox ran the independent deploy check, and the answer reported the container’s health;
- no shell command ran, and Quox never queued a build or marked a build’s outcome itself.
All checks passed, in order.
Receipts
Section titled “Receipts”The run is public at ev_mw2dt5vi_107282, recorded on 4 November 2026. The receipt is the evidence, not this page.
The evidence bundle for the published run (ev_mw2dt5vi_107282) is yours to download and check: every step, check and tool with its verdict, the CLI record each step was judged against where it read one (host names replaced by their role) and the transcript above. Save it with the verifier, index.json and index.receipt.json, then run node verify-journey-bundle.mjs ev_mw2dt5vi_107282.json. It passes only if the bundle is the copy we published and witnessed, unchanged.
Quox-verified, not independently audited: the run was checked by Quox’s own proof engine against the running system, and the evidence id is published so you can recompute it. It is not a third-party audit.
