The stale-backup card could not be built as designed, and the reason is more important than the card. Dedup means an unchanged configuration writes no revision, so collectedat moves only on a CHANGE. A machine stable for six months has a six-month-old newest revision and is perfectly healthy. Keying a staleness card on revision age would have flagged most of the fleet - exactly the noise that makes a board worth ignoring. Underneath that: ShopDB could not distinguish those cases at all. On a no-op the server returned "unchanged" and wrote nothing, so "we checked yesterday and it matched" was discarded. That fact is the one thing a backup system must be able to prove, and the only record of it was a line in a log file on the PC. lastseenat records the check rather than the change. Touched on every matching post including the no-op; set on creation, since a new revision has by definition just been seen; backfilled from collectedat or createdat so existing rows start from the last moment the config can be PROVEN current, rather than from now - claiming a check that never happened would be worse than silence. The card keys on it, one row per CHAIN rather than per asset: a machine with two part markers can have one still reporting while the other stopped, and a per-asset view would report the machine as fine. It stays deliberately silent about assets never backed up, because whether one SHOULD be is a question only the manifest can answer, and guessing would list a hundred healthy machines. The rule lives in services/staleness.py rather than the route, so it is testable without an auth layer in the way - the same split retention.py uses. Threshold is backups_staledays, default 3, and 0 disables the card.
