docs: adopt wiki-hq conventions + separate agent instructions (phases 1-2)
Problem: the narrative docs lacked an enforceable style standard, and
agent-facing instruction (OIKOS/CAVEMAN/CONTRIBUTING) was interleaved with
human content at the repo root.
Change:
- Add .agents/shared/{writing-style,llm-wiki}.md — a lint-checkable prose
standard (with an imperative-voice exception for runbooks/recipes) and the
sources/wiki/index/log layer model.
- Move CAVEMAN.md -> .agents/shared/caveman.md,
CONTRIBUTING.md -> .agents/shared/page-templates.md,
OIKOS.md -> .agents/OIKOS.md; leave thin root stubs so old links resolve.
- Add .agents/domains/{knowledge,operations}/schema.md; operations schema
codifies "plans always live in plans/".
- Repoint live references (AGENTS, README, GLOSSARY, OIKOS) and fix OIKOS.md's
internal relative links for its new depth.
Risk: none to the operational substrate — inventory.yaml, hosts/*.yaml,
oikos/, mcp/, secrets/, bin/ untouched (verified via git status).
Verification: relative-link check across .agents/ clean; substrate churn empty.

## Voice
|
||||
Documentation conventions are now split across `.agents/shared/`:
|
||||
|
||||
Concise, technical, sysadmin-to-sysadmin. No marketing prose, no exclamation marks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Page templates
|
||||
|
||||
### Container page (`containers/<id>-<name>.md`)
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# <id> — `<name>`
|
||||
|
||||
One-sentence purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
## At a glance
|
||||
- **Hostname:** `<name>`
|
||||
- **IP:** `192.168.8.x`
|
||||
- **Privilege:** privileged | unprivileged
|
||||
- **Resources:** N cores / M GiB RAM / D GiB rootfs
|
||||
- **Mounts:** `/mnt/library` ↔ `/mnt/library` (if any)
|
||||
- **Public hostname:** `<sub>.hubris.network` (if proxied)
|
||||
|
||||
## Role
|
||||
What it does, what it talks to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Service / port map
|
||||
| Service | Listen | Notes |
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage / config paths
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-deploy
|
||||
(if any) — link to [auto-deploy](../infrastructure/auto-deploy.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Related
|
||||
- [Caddy](121-caddy.md) (if proxied)
|
||||
- [DNS](../infrastructure/dns.md) (if has subdomain)
|

## Open questions

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Linking discipline
|
||||
|
||||
- Every container page links to every cross-cutting page it participates in.
|
||||
- Every cross-cutting page lists the nodes that participate.
|
||||
- Every investigation links to the nodes it implicates *and* gets back-linked from each node's changelog.
|
||||
- Every plan links to the infrastructure pages it affects. When done, update the plan's status in `plans/index.md` and write changelog entries on affected node pages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changelog hygiene
|
||||
|
||||
- Reverse-chronological (newest first).
|
||||
- One entry per discrete change, even if you make several in one day.
|
||||
- If a change spans nodes, repeat the entry on each affected page (different perspective is fine).
|
||||
- Don't rewrite history — entries are append-only. Mistakes get a follow-up entry that supersedes them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Same-session update rule
|
||||
|
||||
When you make a change to a node — migrate an LXC, update an IP, change a
|
||||
mount, deploy a new service — **update every relevant doc page in the same
|
||||
session.** A change that touches a container page must also update:
|
||||
|
||||
- The `containers/index.md` table (IPs, host, mounts, status)
|
||||
- The `README.md` table (if the change affects listed columns)
|
||||
- The Caddy page site list (if the change affects `*.hubris.network` routing)
|
||||
- The DNS / ingress infrastructure pages (if the change affects routing)
|
||||
- The `hosts/{hubris,strong}.md` host page (if container count changes)
|
||||
- The `inventory.yaml` host entry (source of truth for the `hosts/*.yaml` generation)
|
||||
- The `infrastructure/topology.md` (generated from inventory, but regen if needed)
|
||||
|
||||
The pattern of updating only one page and leaving stale references on others
|
||||
is a bug. If you're doing a multi-step migration, document the intermediate
|
||||
state with a changelog entry that says "pending — will finalize after Phase
|
||||
N."
|
||||
|
||||
This rule is why Phase 2 of the strong migration (2026-07-05) caused
|
||||
widespread stale data: individual container pages were updated in the
|
||||
changelog but never had their At-a-glance sections, IPs, mount paths, or
|
||||
host attribution updated. Don't repeat that.
|
||||
- [`page-templates.md`](.agents/shared/page-templates.md) — per-page-type structural templates, linking discipline, changelog hygiene, same-session update rule.
|
||||
- [`writing-style.md`](.agents/shared/writing-style.md) — prose voice, banned vocabulary, page shape.
|
||||
- [`llm-wiki.md`](.agents/shared/llm-wiki.md) — the sources / wiki / index / log layer model.
