Transitions from Deferred.

Activation was set up at the bootloader level but the live switch was deferred because a critical component (dbus/systemd/kernel/init) cannot be live-swapped on a running system. The host stays Deferred until the operator reboots; on reboot the agent’s boot-recovery handshake observes current_closure == target_closure and CP’s handle_heartbeat synthesis (LIFT #1) drives the transition out via RemoteActivationCompleted.

Legal events from Deferred:

  • LocalActivationCompleted / RemoteActivationCompleted — post-reboot, the activation has actually taken; drives Deferred → Soaking (same target state as Activating → Soaking). LIFT #1’s CP-side synthesis is the typical emitter.
  • LocalActivationFailed / RemoteActivationFailed — operator rebooted but boot failed / verification failed. Drives Deferred → Failed. Rare; covered for completeness.

All other events are illegal from Deferred (probe events: probes aren’t running yet because activation hasn’t completed; rollback events: nothing to roll back from at the in-memory state level — the bootloader has the new target; rollback semantics for Deferred is a v0.3 design question).
