Phase 2 unified the two query languages behind one endpoint and renamed
the request field, and the runbooks were never updated. Following them
today does not work:
{"sql": ...} -> 400 query must not be empty
POST /api :8080/search -> 404, the route no longer exists
Both appear in the Phase 0 and Phase 1 runbooks and in the
windows-fixture README. That matters more than a normal doc typo,
because status.md cites the Phase 0 runbook as the record of how Phase
0 was verified -- so the documented verification procedure is one
nobody can re-run as written.
The Phase 1 step is rewritten rather than search-and-replaced: it
checked the SQL and full-text paths against two different endpoints,
and its exit criterion (the same record_id from both) now has to be
expressed against /query twice, once with SQL and once with a bare
word.
Phase 0's expected output for SELECT 1 also gained a warnings field
since it was written.
Every command here was run against a live stack before being written
down, including confirming both paths return the same record_id.

windows-fixture
Sends synthetic Windows Event Log-shaped PushBatchRequests directly to
ingest's gRPC endpoint, bypassing the actual Windows agent entirely.
What this does and doesn't test
Tests: can the pipeline (ingest → ClickHouse → search → api → web)
correctly handle Windows-shaped data — the winevt.* attributes, the
record_id join between SQL and full-text search, Windows severity
levels mapping onto the right column values? This is exactly what's
automatable without a Windows host, and it's genuinely exercised: five
realistic, well-known Windows events (failed/successful logon, a service
state change, an application crash, an unexpected reboot) with real
EventIDs and providers.
Does not test: whether the real Windows agent's EvtSubscribe/ETW
integration actually works, whether Windows service registration
succeeds, whether ETW session creation/provider enabling works. Those are
fundamentally different questions — they need a real or virtualized
Windows host, and nothing here pretends otherwise. See
/docs/phase-1-runbook.md for exactly which is which.
Running
Requires the docker-compose stack up (ingest reachable, dev certs
generated):
cd hack/windows-fixture
go run . --count 5
sent 5 synthetic Windows-shaped records, ingest accepted 5
[SEVERITY_WARN] An account failed to log on. (event_id=4625 provider=Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing)
...
Then confirm both query paths see it:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8080/query -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"query": "SELECT host, severity, message, attributes['"'"'winevt.event_id'"'"'] AS event_id FROM logs WHERE host = '"'"'WIN-FIXTURE-01'"'"' ORDER BY timestamp DESC"}'
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8080/query -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"query": "notepad"}'
Flags: --addr (default localhost:4317), --ca/--cert/--key
(default to ../dev-certs/out/{ca,client,client-key}.pem), --count
(default 5, cycles through the fixed event list if higher).
