docs: fix pre-existing broken links surfaced by docs-lint
Problem: docs-lint (added in the wiki-hq reorg) surfaced 126 broken relative
links that predated this session — a container rename, incident/plan docs
that moved into archive/done subfolders without their inbound links being
updated, and a handful of relative-depth bugs in files nested under
containers/archive/ and plans/done/.
Fixes applied, by category:
- 124-authentik.md -> 106-auth-outpost.md (container was renamed; ~40 refs).
- investigations/{2026-04-21-hubris-crash-loop,2026-05-31-authentik-vps-migration}.md
-> archive/ prefix (both moved to investigations/archive/ previously).
- plans/{2026-06-01-slate-ax-to-sodola-migration,2026-06-04_130000-deprecate-claudio-bot,
2026-06-25-yuvomi-deployment}.md -> plans/done/ prefix.
- Depth bugs in files nested one level deeper than their siblings assumed
(investigations/archive/*, knowledge/wiki/containers/archive/*,
plans/done/*) — corrected relative-path depth.
- Destroyed containers with no surviving page (126-plato) delinked to the
containers/index.md archaeology row instead of a 404.
- ludo-mini.yaml -> strong.yaml (host was renamed, same physical machine).
- netbird-vps.md (no narrative page exists) -> netbird-vps.yaml (substrate
record, matching the existing convention for hosts without a wiki page).
- runbook-dpkg-interrupted.md refs -> .agents/skills/runbook-dpkg-interrupted/SKILL.md
(missed in the phase-4 runbook move because the referencing files used a
bare filename, not a runbooks/ prefix).
- One dangling forward-reference to a never-written investigation delinked
to the actual incident record it was describing.
Left alone: two links in knowledge/wiki/containers/101-jellyfin.md into
devops/homelab-authentik-admin/ — an intentional reference to a sibling repo,
not present in this checkout.
Verification: broken-link count 126 -> 2 (real remainder is the cross-repo
reference above); gen-topology.py --check still exit 0; build_host_files.py
still idempotent; all inventory.yaml doc_page targets still resolve.

## Summary

||||
|
||||
[`hubris`](../hosts/hubris.md) hard-locked repeatedly on 2026-04-21 (silent CPU hangs, no panic, no OOM, no MCE). Two contributors identified: idle CPU sitting at ~95 °C on the `performance` governor, and a USB-attached external SSD whose UAS interaction with the AMD USB4/Thunderbolt PCIe tunnel triggered hard locks. CPU thermal addressed via `cpu-epp.service`; drive removed 2026-04-22 as an A/B test. As of 2026-04-28 the host has 3+ days uptime — the drive looks like the primary contributor; `cpu-epp` remains as belt-and-suspenders.

### 2026-04-22 — `cpu-epp.service` design bug fixed

Was `After=multi-user.target` + `WantedBy=multi-user.target` — queued behind `pve-guests.service`. The hottest window of every boot (20 LXCs + 1 VM coming up) ran on the `performance` governor. Fixed: now `After=sysinit.target` + `Before=pve-guests.service`.

### 2026-04-22 — drive removed (A/B test)
|
||||
User physically removed the external USB drive. [Backup timers disabled](../infrastructure/backups.md#status), fstab entry commented, drive de-authorized. Goal: confirm whether the drive + UAS + AMD USB4 PCIe-tunnel interaction is the dominant root cause.

Cold-boot baseline (3 min uptime): nvme0n1 35 °C composite / sensor1 (controller) **53 °C**; nvme1n1 36 °C composite / both sensors ≤36 °C. Lifetime warning-time counters at install: nvme0n1 709 min warn + 5 min crit; nvme1n1 778 min warn + 45 min crit — both drives had spent real time in thermal warning historically.

The NetBird management server (on the [VPS](../infrastructure/ingress.md)) crash-looped 1200+ times because it fetches the Authentik OIDC discovery document on startup, and Authentik was only reachable via the NetBird mesh — which was down *because* mgmt couldn't start. A classic bootstrap deadlock: **mgmt needs OIDC → OIDC needs the mesh → the mesh needs mgmt.**

1. **Redirect URI error.** The restored DB had redirect URIs in `REGEX` matching mode; in Authentik 2026.5.x they failed to match. Fixed by switching to `STRICT` exact matching (Django ORM, `RedirectURIMatchingMode.STRICT`). Set all four: `http://localhost:53000/` (CLI), `https://netbird.hubris.network/{peers,nb-auth,nb-silent-auth}`.

3. **"Request has been denied. Unknown error."** Several overlapping causes: wrong password (reset via Django shell), reputation lockout after repeated failures (`Reputation.objects.all().delete()` — see [124-authentik](../containers/124-authentik.md)), and **broken default expression policies**. The restored DB carried 8 default policies authored in old `return`-style syntax incompatible with 2026.5.x's eval context; `ak apply_blueprints` re-applied the current defaults.
