"summary": "The build machine (vulcan, Arch Linux) has clock drift. NTP is not running because the service was disabled during a noisy audit period and never re-enabled. The clock is 40 minutes behind. As a result, pacman signature verification is failing — GPG signature timestamps appear to be in the future, which pacman treats as invalid. The player gets a ticket saying builds are broken and package installs fail. They need to diagnose the actual cause (clock drift), fix it (enable and start systemd-timesyncd or ntp), and then refresh the keyring.",

"description": "pacman -Syu fails with signature errors. gpg --verify on a downloaded package shows the signature timestamp is in the future relative to local time. timedatectl shows NTP is inactive and the local clock is significantly behind. journalctl -u systemd-timesyncd shows the service was stopped and disabled.",

The use of `or` on the NTP objective allows systemd-timesyncd, ntpd, or chronyd — any of them fixes the problem. The explicit check on package installs requires the player to confirm things work, not just that NTP is running."
