Handle a nil execErr and keep the original start error.
restart.Exec() does not return on success, but a platform implementation that spawns and returns nil makes fmt.Errorf("...: %w", execErr) format as %!w(<nil>). The returned error then names no cause. The rollback error err is also discarded, so the reason for the rollback never reaches the operator.

if errors.Is(err, updater.ErrRolledBack) {
+ log.Warn().Err(err).Msg("update rolled back, re-executing the restored version")

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Surface the quarantined marker to the user, not only to the log.
After a marker is quarantined, loadMarker returns errMarkerUnusable on every later boot while the .bad file exists. installStaged in pkg/service/updater/install.go treats that error as "an unresolved update" and refuses to install. Updates are then blocked permanently until an operator deletes the file by hand, and the only trace is a log.Warn in RunStartupWatchdog.
Record a durable result or an inbox message for this state, so the user learns that manual recovery is required. ReportLastUpdate already provides the delivery path.

Review findings on the install pipeline, none of which change the transaction design. The restart after a successful apply no longer depends on the response callback running. A guard arms a five second timer when the response is handed back; whichever of the callback and the timer fires first restarts the service and releases the media gate, and a sync.Once stops a late callback doing either a second time. Restart happens before the gate release on both paths. Re-exec after a rollback is one helper instead of seven near-copies. It preserves the rollback error alongside any exec error, and treats an exec that returns nil as a failure rather than a silent success, since a successful exec never returns. Rollback errors now carry the path of the restored executable, and the daemon re-execs that path instead of relying on ZAPAROO_APP being set. UserDB restore copying, renaming, sidecar removal and corrupt-marker clearing all go through the supplied afero.Fs rather than mixing it with host os calls. The SQLite quick_check stays an OS-path operation, now behind an injectable validator whose production path refuses anything but an OS-backed filesystem. The watchdog's stat, remove, read-directory and restore work moves behind one injected boundary, covered by MemMapFs tests. State handling separates strict reads from read-only fail-open reads, so result, acknowledgment and manifest writes refuse to overwrite a state.json they could not parse. An unusable quarantined marker records a durable recoveryRequired result and produces one manual-recovery inbox message, while pending.json.bad keeps blocking installs. Linux directory sync gains injected Open/Sync/Syncfs/Close seams and tests for the fallback and error paths. Windows treats ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION and ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED, like access-denied, as directory fsync being unsupported rather than a durability failure, and its updater-state replacement now uses the shared write-through replaceFile. Both release-conversion paths share one resolvedAssetCopies helper for asset copying, URL resolution and archive filtering without mutating the manifest, and updateConfirmDelay moves to the top declaration block.

AGENTS.md, which CLAUDE.md symlinks to, becomes a list of directives grouped by topic instead of prose about the project. It names the task commands, the testing and compatibility rules, the high-risk areas that need the OTA runbook read first, and the specialised validation each kind of change requires.
rolledBackError and its methods sat between defaultWatchdogFileOps and the functions that return it. Move the type and its Error/Unwrap methods up beside watchdogFileOps so the declarations come before the code that uses them. No behaviour change.
The OTA install pipeline landed with its recovery branches largely unexercised. These tests drive the ones that decide whether a failed update leaves a working device. installStaged now has a shared fixture for a staged release sitting beside a live binary, and tests for the guards that run before anything moves: a marker left unreadable by an earlier crash blocks a second install rather than being read as nothing pending, an orphaned binary backup is cleared only when the target it belongs to is still there, and neither reaches the database. When the marker cannot be armed the install undoes itself completely, with the old binary back in place and the backup, candidate, snapshot and staging directory all gone, and a database that then refuses to reopen is reported alongside the install failure instead of replacing it. An abort that itself fails reports both failures and keeps the backup it could not restore. The watchdog tests cover the two ways a rollback is refused rather than attempted: a snapshot that fails its integrity check and a marker that recorded no snapshot both leave the new binary installed and the marker resolved as blocked, because writing an unverified snapshot over a working database is worse than the failed update. Payload extras have no producer yet, but the restore path already handles them, so the ordering it promises is pinned: extras first, binary last, and a payload entry with no recorded backup blocks the rollback before anything is swapped. A marker from a newer schema survives confirmation byte for byte and is not quarantined. UserDB snapshot failures are tested for the property that matters to a running service: after a refused drain and after a failed snapshot the pool is reopened and the database is usable again. RestoreFileTo refuses a non-OS filesystem and refuses a backup that fails quick_check or reports corruption, leaving the live database alone in every case. The rest fills in around those: source selection by version resolves relative asset URLs without mutating the verified manifest and a read-only state directory still completes a check, the Linux directory sync falls back to syncfs only for errors that mean unsupported and never for EIO, Apply refuses to touch the network while an update is unresolved and reports cancellation, marker and state bookkeeping refuse to downgrade a newer schema or unreport a delivered result, update reports carry the right message per outcome, confirmPendingUpdate abandons its wait on shutdown, and restartExecConfig fails when the rollback target is missing rather than exec'ing a stale cache. TestApply_CancelledContext previously passed on missing options rather than on cancellation; it now supplies them so the cancelled context is what fails the call.
Summary
Operational notes
Automatic installation remains disabled. Real-device migration-crossing rollback validation remains a release gate.
