Site posture

Included from Basic tier

A site posture is the durable record that a whole site is quiesced: every server node whose configured site matches drains and holds — offers stop, in-flight drives hand over to the other site's replicas, and the site's stamped dispatch work falls back so it never strands. Postures survive restarts and holds apply at boot; only the explicit, audited resume lifts one. With a site configured, a posture read error holds the node — site scoping fails closed.

Served by RunnerService.ListSitePostures (the response also carries the answering node's own site identity and current held state) and written by QuiesceSite/ResumeSite — opschain admin server site list|quiesce|resume. Every transition lands in the audit lane as info:server:site_quiesced / info:server:site_resumed.
