docs: dpkg-interrupted runbook + apt-fleet ops + non-apt-binary pattern + Claude Code settings + chat-sudo gotcha

Bundles the documentation slice of the apt-sweep backlog:

* operations/runbook-dpkg-interrupted.md (NEW) — Path A (ssh-reachable
  recovery) + Path B (PVE web Shell when the netbird mesh broke
  alongside the dpkg state, as happened during Wave 6 on hubris).
  Closes B2.

* operations/commands.md — new "Fleet apt operations" section
  documenting `homelab apt-audit` and `homelab apt-upgrade`
  (--status / --safe / --force). Adds the dpkg-interrupted runbook to
  Related.

* operations/agent-enrollment.md —
  - new "Claude Code permissions for fleet ops" section with the
    `permissions.allow` snippet (`Bash(ssh -p 22022 *)`,
    `Bash(homelab *)`) for `~/.claude/settings.json`. Closes A3.
  - two new Troubleshooting rows: chat-mode `!` sudo no-tty gotcha
    (G2) and the cosmetic netbird DNS-probe warning.

* infrastructure/auto-deploy.md — new "Custom-built binaries that
  overlap apt-managed paths" section describing the two acceptable
  patterns (epoch-versioned .deb à la caddy 1:2.11.3-hubris1; or
  apt-mark hold) and the discovery path via `homelab apt-audit`'s
  NONAPT column. Closes D3.

Remaining backlog after this commit: A4 (upstream OpenSSH/netbird mux
bug), D1 (apt-mark hold caddy in caddy-conf bootstrap — superseded
in practice by the epoch .deb), E1/E2 (LXC DNS fallback for
tailscale-managed resolv.conf), F1/F2 (vzdump fallback doc; F3 already
shipped).

@@ -130,6 +130,37 @@ For Claude Code: start a new session — the `homelab` MCP server appears
in `~/.claude/.mcp.json` and registers 14 tools (8 context, 5 management,
1 secrets-metadata).
## Claude Code permissions for fleet ops
By default Claude Code's auto-mode classifier asks for confirmation on every
ssh into the mesh. The bootstrap already installs the ssh ControlMaster block
so subsequent in-session sshes multiplex, but the *first* ssh of each session
still gets classifier-evaluated. Pre-authorize the common fleet ssh patterns
by adding to `~/.claude/settings.json`:
```json
{
"permissions": {
"defaultMode": "auto",
"allow": [
"Bash(ssh -p 22022 *)",
"Bash(homelab *)"
]
}
}
```
The first rule covers any ssh to a mesh peer on the homelab netbird port; the
second covers all `homelab` CLI invocations. Both are scoped tight enough that
the classifier doesn't gate them but loose enough to handle the variety of
arguments.
If you also want the netbird `--ssh-jwt-cache-ttl` flag rationale to be
visible to the classifier (it's not actually durable in 0.71.2, but the
ControlMaster block is — see [runbook-dpkg-interrupted](runbook-dpkg-interrupted.md)
for context), drop a free-text rule into `autoMode.allow` describing the
authorization. Optional.
## Adding a new client to inventory

| `homelab: no age key at /etc/age/key.txt` even after bootstrap | `/etc/age` is 0700 root, so non-root users couldn't even stat the key file; existence check returned False under regular users | Fixed in commit `df6aca8`: the CLI re-execs `sops -d` via sudo when invoked as a non-root user. On older deployments, re-link the CLI with `sudo ln -sfn /opt/homelab-context/bin/homelab /usr/local/bin/homelab` after the 5-min sync. |
| `homelab` CLI doesn't pick up repo updates | Pre-`02db…` bootstrap copied the binary instead of symlinking | One-time migration: `sudo ln -sfn /opt/homelab-context/bin/homelab /usr/local/bin/homelab`. New bootstraps use the symlink, which auto-tracks the synced repo. |
| `homelab-context-sync.service` journal shows `fatal: could not read Username for 'https://git.hubris.network'` | Pre-fix bootstrap set the gitea credential helper via `git config --global`, which writes to `/root/.gitconfig` — invisible to the systemd timer's git process (no HOME set). | One-time migration: `sudo git config --system credential.helper "store --file=/etc/homelab-context/git-credentials"`. New bootstraps store the helper in `/etc/gitconfig` instead. |

For commands the agent issues repeatedly, configure passwordless sudo for the narrow set (e.g. `/etc/sudoers.d/homelab-self` with `<user> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/dnf upgrade -y, /usr/bin/apt-get *`). |
