+  It resolves the release merge commit, waits for that commit's coverage-gate and for the GHCR image to resolve on the host, backs up the host's /tmp/butler-upgrade.mjs and /tmp/sanctuary-replay-gate.mjs to .bak-<previous>, stages the release's own copies, runs preflight, runs the release's gate against the live version (the baseline, log at /var/log/ouro-baseline-<version>.log), starts the gated upgrade detached with its log at /var/log/ouro-upgrade-<version>.log and OURO_REPLAY_BASELINE pointing at the baseline log, follows the case lines to a terminal line and runs verify. A candidate failure blocks the release only when that case did not fail on the live baseline; a case that fails on both is reported as failing-on-live-too and does not block. The safety checks (window-trusted, no-telegram, owner-policy-untouched) and a planted case always block. --no-baseline skips the live run, so every failure blocks. The last stdout line is one JSON result: {version, result: kept|rolled_back|refused|failed, running_image, cases, summary, baseline, comparison, verify, log}; comparison lists each case's live and candidate status and its verdict, and is also printed as a table above it. Exit 0 only when the result is kept and verify is green. --dry-run runs only the read-only steps. BUTLER_HOST overrides the default host alias.
 
   Manual fallback (the script automates exactly these): wait for coverage-gate and `docker manifest inspect ghcr.io/ourostack/ouroboros-butler:<version>` on the host; copy deploy/unraid/sanctuary-butler-upgrade.mjs to /tmp/butler-upgrade.mjs and deploy/unraid/sanctuary-replay-gate.mjs to /tmp/sanctuary-replay-gate.mjs; run `node /tmp/butler-upgrade.mjs preflight <version>`; start `setsid nohup /usr/local/bin/node /tmp/butler-upgrade.mjs upgrade <version> > /var/log/ouro-upgrade-<version>.log 2>&1 < /dev/null &`; read the log for GATE PASS, GATE FAIL (rolled back), UPGRADE done, REFUSING or FAILED; then run `node /tmp/butler-upgrade.mjs verify`. Check for a live upgrade with pgrep -f "[b]utler-upgrade.mjs upgrade" so the check does not match its own shell.
