+# M3 Test Run Report — Prosody 13.0.6, Lua 5.4
+
+## Summary
+
+| Run | Passed | Skipped | Failed |
+|-----|--------|---------|--------|
+| Compose harness (`run-compose-tests.sh`) | 80 | 6 | 0 |
+| External deployment (`run-all-tests.sh`) | 61 | 25 | 0 |
+
+**Zero failures in both runs.** All skips are infrastructure prerequisites, not M3 regressions.
+
+---
+
+## Compose harness — 80 passed, 6 skipped
+
+Image: Prosody 13.0.6, Lua 5.4.8, Alpine 3.23.4. Fresh database, mock auth/FCM/file-share
+backends, `SMACKS_HIBERNATION_TIME=10`.
+
+### Skips (6)
+
+| Test | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| `test_01_core::test_rest_message_carbon_copied_to_second_resource` | Requires both clients to share the same bare JID; compose uses two distinct accounts (`user1@` / `user2@`) |
+| `test_02_muc::test_hidden_lib_rejects_public_override` | Requires an admin JID; compose test user is not an admin |
+| `test_03_vnctalk::test_vcard_fallback` | `mod_vnc_vcard_fallback` not enabled in config template |
+| `test_10_smacks::test_smacks_hibernation_expiry` | `smacks_hibernation_time` too large for an automated expiry test (threshold: 30s) |
+| `test_10_smacks::test_smacks_offline_queue_after_expiry` | Same — hibernation time threshold |
+| `test_11_smokes::test_telnet_reachable_on_non_loopback` | `ADMIN_TELNET_HOST` is `localhost` (loopback); can't prove wildcard bind from the same host |
+
+---
+
+## External deployment — 61 passed, 25 skipped
+
+Target: `xmpp.microlab.zimbra-vnc.de:30522` (Prosody 13.0.6). SSH tunnel to PostgreSQL
+(port 14322) and kubectl port-forward for telnet (port 5582) auto-started by the script.
+
+### Skips (25)
+
+| Category | Count | Tests | Reason |
+|----------|-------|-------|--------|
+| Needs `docker compose exec` | 9 | `test_08_image_patches` (all) | External deployment is not a compose stack; can't grep files inside the container |
+| Needs `docker compose exec` | 4 | `test_12_image_runtime` (all) | Same — healthcheck execution and config rendering checks need container access |
+| Needs `MOCK_URL` | 4 | `test_09_http_sideeffects` (4 of 5) | External deployment has real backends, not a capture mock; side-effect assertions can't run |
+| Hibernation time too large | 2 | `test_10_smacks` (2 of 4) | Production `smacks_hibernation_time=300s` (>30s threshold) |
+| BOSH/WS URL without explicit port | 2 | `test_11_smokes::test_host_meta_json`, `test_11_smokes::test_presence_endpoint` | External URLs use default HTTPS port 443 (no `:port`); `_http_base()` requires an explicit port |
+| Telnet on loopback only | 1 | `test_11_smokes::test_telnet_reachable_on_non_loopback` | `ADMIN_TELNET_HOST=127.0.0.1`; kubectl port-forward is loopback |
+| Same bare JID required | 1 | `test_01_core::test_rest_message_carbon_copied_to_second_resource` | External run uses two distinct accounts |
+| Admin JID required | 1 | `test_02_muc::test_hidden_lib_rejects_public_override` | Test user is not an admin |
+| Module not enabled | 1 | `test_03_vnctalk::test_vcard_fallback` | `mod_vnc_vcard_fallback` not in `modules_enabled` |
+
+### Notable: telnet and PostgreSQL tests passed externally
+
+With the auto-started SSH tunnel and kubectl port-forward, all 6 `test_04_infra` tests
+(telnet port, banner, healthcheck, c2s/http ports) and all 11 `test_06_postgres` tests
+(connection, schema, MAM, kick store, store-user inversion) passed — previously these were
+skipped when the tunnel/port-forward wasn't set up.
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+M3 (0.12.6 → 13.0.6) is verified. The compose harness covers 80 of 86 tests; the external
+deployment covers 61. The 25 external skips are all infrastructure prerequisites (no docker
+exec, no mock, no low hibernation time, default-port URLs) — not regressions. No test failed
+in either run.
