 - 110 no-secret artifact `/home/wooo/reboot-recovery/reboot-auto-recovery-slo-20260703-163131` 證明 collector 未讀 secret、未 remote write、未 VM power change；但 host probe 同時顯示 `111 reachable=0`，而舊 Windows99 default target 卻是 `110 / 188 / 120 / 121 / 112`。
 - 修正 source-of-truth：`windows99-vmware-autostart.ps1`、CLI scorecard、API scorecard fallback、console validator default、check-mode package tests 全部改為 `111 / 188 / 120 / 121 / 112`；110 回到 P0 host / control-plane truth，不再當 99 VMware guest default。
+- 修正 runtime verifier：`windows99-vmware-autostart.ps1` 預設不再遞迴掃 VM roots，避免 111 VMX 缺失時讓 no-secret collector timeout；`reboot-auto-recovery-slo-exporter.sh` 的 Windows99 fallback 只接受 alias set 完全符合 `111 / 188 / 120 / 121 / 112` 的 artifact，避免舊 `110` artifact 回灌假讀回。
+- live bounded collector 證明新版行為：`VMX alias=111 present=0`、`VM_POWER alias=111 vmx_present=0 running=0`、`VMWARE_AUTOSTART_CONFIG_READY=0`、`VMWARE_AUTOSTART_VERIFY_READY=0`，且 `secret_value_read=false`、`remote_write_performed=false`、`vm_power_change_performed=false`。
 - `FULL-STACK-COLD-START-SOP`、`REBOOT-RECOVERY-SOP`、`PUBLIC-MAINTENANCE-FALLBACK-RUNBOOK` 與 P0 workplan 已整合這次經驗，避免舊 `110` default 再遮蔽 `111 unreachable`。

 **仍維持**：
 - 這不代表 10 分鐘重啟自動恢復 SLO 完成；目前 primary blocker 仍是 `reboot_event_required_host_unreachable`，且 `111` 仍需新版 Windows99 collector / production readback 確認。
 - 沒有讀 secret / token / `.env` / raw sessions / SQLite / auth；沒有使用 GitHub / gh；沒有啟動或關閉 VM，沒有重啟 Windows host / VMware service，沒有 Docker / Nginx / K3s / DB / firewall restart / reload，沒有 DROP / TRUNCATE / restore / prune / delete / force push。
 
 **下一步**：
-- commit / push 到 Gitea main；CD deploy 後受控安裝新版 110 SLO exporter 並重跑 no-secret collector，讀回 production `required_vm_aliases` / `powered_off_aliases` / check-mode package 均以 111 為 Windows99 VM target。
+- commit / push 到 Gitea main；CD deploy 後受控安裝新版 110 SLO exporter 並重跑 no-secret collector，讀回 production `missing_vmx_aliases=["111"]`、`powered_off_aliases` 含 111 且不含 110。
