I diagnosed and verified the BT-027 problem end to end. Here is the solution, written to ~/BT-027-serve-upload-verification.md, with the live repro script at ~/bt027_e2e.sh.

Summary

Root cause. handleUpload only rejects a zero-board request when the combined count is zero:

total := len(boards) + len(s.cBoards)
if total == 0 { /* 400 */ }

With -C resolving a board, total >= 1, so a failed upload falls through and renders a clean 200 report of the -C board only. The status code isn't the bug by itself — the missing machine-readable signal is. A status-only probe is vacuously green because the prepended -C board always contributes.

Fix (13ed819). - internal/render/derive.go: add UploadNotice string \json:"upload_notice,omitempty"`toReportPayload. -cmd/boardctl/serve.go: after thetotal==0guard and before the413cap check, setuploadNotice = zeroBoardsNoticewhenlen(boards)==0 && len(s.cBoards)>0; assignpayload.UploadNoticeafterrender.BuildBoards.omitemptykeepsrenderpayloads byte-identical toboard-report/v1. -internal/render/template.go: banner leads with the notice instead of hiding when there are no parse warnings. - Error contract untouched: empty request →400, nothing anywhere →400,>cap→413`.

Verification performed. - go build ./... and full go test ./... green; all 6 TestBT027* pass. - RED proof: reverting just serve.go (keeping the payload field + banner so the test compiles) makes the notice assertions fail exactly as described, then green again after restore. - Live E2E battery of 15 assertions parsing the embedded JSON island (not status): zip no -C → 2; zip with -C → 3, cboard first, no notice; mis-named file=@stray.jsonl with -C → 1 + visible upload_notice; folder upload derived JSON-identical to render -C; empty → 400; Content-Length > 512MB → 413; sha256 before==after. Result: 15 passed, 0 failed. - Harness pitfalls avoided: server started from a script with all stdio redirected to a log, ephemeral <ip-address>:0 port read back from the log.

The durable law: assert len(payload.boards) (and upload_notice) for every case, never the status code.
