role&vpn / role&direct, and the same state read back off a pasted job title.
Own separator rather than more + words: + is the onion axis, and one
separator meaning two things could not be read back unambiguously.
An image bump in a provider redeployed every variant of every consumer,
including the variants that switch that provider off and therefore never
deploy the bumped image at all. The diff-derived whitelist now narrows each
affected role to the variants whose own round closure still reaches a seed,
emitted as `role#0,2` selection tokens. That closure is walked on the same
variant-merged services maps the matrix planner builds its rounds from, so the
narrowing follows a parent's variant choice across every generation of the
chain. It covers every auto-derived whitelist: the weekly update PRs,
Dependabot, and any other diff-driven run.
The narrowing never shrinks the matrix on partial information. A seed role
keeps every variant, because its own files changed. A role reached only
through a run_after edge keeps every variant too, because the round closure
does not follow that edge and a role whose hits are empty is therefore
unnarrowed rather than dropped.
A pinned token naming a role the discovery query does not return now warns
instead of aborting the run. The diff-derived whitelist legitimately names
roles the lifecycle envelope filters out, and once it pins variants such a
token would abort every chunk; role names are still checked against roles/
before the run starts, so a typo is caught one layer earlier.
The round's variant merge moves out of the deploy inventory package into
utils/roles/applications/variants.py. The CI selection has to build the same
maps, and importing the deploy package for them pulls in a module that reads
INFINITO_SRC_DIR at import time, which the runner host does not set.

A run-wide draw proved one distribution and said nothing about the other four, while reporting green. Both are matrix-row axes now, assigned by the same deterministic rotation mode and tor already use, so one sweep exercises every distribution and every filesystem.
The two read the row's position like an odometer, the distro as the low digit. Turning both on the position directly covers only n of the n x m pairs whenever the pools are the same length, and no sweep unlocks it.
Both are part of a row's identity: glyphs in the job label, columns in the plan table, shards in the artifact name. Both are selectable through %distro and /filesystem, and a retrigger replays the distro off a failed title. It leaves the filesystem out, because a title states the kind the matrix assigned and a deploy may have fallen back from it.
A row's filesystem is a preference unless a human names it, on the run or in a token. Reading the matrix's own narrowing as a demand would fail rows for every transient condition the applying step is built to tolerate.

The regular rows began wherever (sweep * capacity) % count pointed. On run 210
that was offset 68: chunk 0 opened at candidate 69, the coverage-first head of
the list went undeployed, and no two runs could be compared because the window
moved with the run number. A run that looked wrong turned out to be merely
rotated, and finding that out meant recomputing the arithmetic by hand.
The rotation is gone. Chunk 0 reads the ranking from the top unless an offset
says otherwise, and the offset is an input now, threaded from the manual form
through the orchestrator and the deploy call down to the matrix builder. The
plan renderer takes the same flag, so the table shows the window the run will
take.
The offset is a row count or a selection token. A token is the honest form:
the ranking shifts whenever a variant appears, so 'offset 84' means something
different tomorrow while 'web-app-nextcloud#5' still means the same row. Axes
the token leaves open match anything, so a bare role name starts at its first
row and a pasted job label starts at exactly the job it names. A token that
matches no regular row aborts rather than silently starting at the head an
operator meant to skip.
The run title carries it as ⏩ followed by the value, and only when one was
asked for, so a rotated-looking run says so in its own name and the retrigger
reads it back from there when a job log has expired.
resume_from_chunk leaves the manual form with it. Skipping whole chunks was
the coarse way to say 'carry on further down'; the offset says it exactly and
keeps the rest of the chain intact. The orchestrator input stays for the other
entry points.
What this gives up is automatic tail coverage. Rows beyond the budget are
reached by moving the offset, widening the budget or narrowing the selection,
not by waiting for consecutive sweeps to walk the list.

Two tokens naming one row is the case the axes exist for: a variant that
failed in compose and in swarm comes back as web-app-x#1@compose+tor and
web-app-x#1@swarm+tor, and both have to deploy. The applier could not express
it. It walked the rows, took the first pin that matched and broke out, so the
second token matched nothing, counted as a typo, and aborted the chunk's
discovery with 'matches no discovered row'.
Two CI runs died on it before the cause was clear, both reporting a token that
was perfectly valid.
Pins and rows are now paired both ways round: every pin that matches a row
yields its own entry. Two tokens that narrow a row identically collapse into
one, so a duplicate in the input cannot become two jobs racing for a single
artifact name, and a bare role name loses to any token that narrows the same
row -- asking for role#1@swarm should not also deploy a rotation-picked
variant of that role.
The old unit test paired two pins on two different variants, which is why it
stayed green; the collision on one variant now has its own.

A whitelist or priority entry was a role name and nothing else, so a run
could not ask for "this variant, on swarm, behind the onion". It either
covered everything the role offers or waited for the rotation to come
around to the combination that broke.
An entry is now a token that may carry the axes, either as
web-app-x#0,2@swarm+tor or as the job label pasted straight back out of
the run that failed. What a token leaves open still belongs to the line
it stands in: priority covers every remaining combination in one sweep,
whitelist keeps the rotation and its position in the matrix. A pin the
row cannot take aborts the matrix rather than dropping the row, because
a dropped row reports a green run for a combination that never ran.
The onion state spells out as +clearnet, not as a -tor suffix: svc-net-tor
would otherwise read as role svc-net on the clearnet.
Chunk membership still follows the discovery ranking, which is what
decides who makes the budget cut, but the rows inside a chunk are sorted
by display name, variant, mode and onion state, so a chunk's job list
reads like the plan table instead of like the sweep's rotation.
