Two additions:
1. secrets-issuance backup: daily timer snapshots /var/lib/secrets-issuance
to /mnt/library/.secrets-issuance-backup/ as a date-stamped tar.gz,
keeping the last 14 days. Closes the catastrophic-fail-mode where an
LXC 105 loss wipes every client's age key with no recovery path.
Caveat: privileged LXCs that mount /mnt/library can read the backup
(root-uid maps to host root); encrypted-tarball variant is a future
refinement.
2. homelab doctor: 10 invariant checks for an enrolled client — clone
present, sync timer/launchd job active, age key perms, CLI symlinked,
AGENTS.md linked, inventory entry exists, MCP reachable, secrets
/health responds, sops canary decrypts, git creds present. Returns
nonzero on any 'fail'. Useful after enrollment or whenever something
smells off.

Hubris is Netbird-only and LXC 105 is Tailscale-only; they share LAN
but not a mesh, so on-host \`curl http://192.168.8.205:9820/issue\`
arrives with source IP 192.168.8.77. In a homelab LAN with no
untrusted devices the trust boundary is reasonable; if that changes
later, narrow this.

Add the foundation for distributing homelab context to every client
(LXCs, VMs, workstations including republic-laptop, mac-mini, ludo-mini)
with a single source of truth, structured query layer (MCP), and per-client
age-key issuance for secrets:
- inventory.yaml — canonical topology (hosts, services, mesh addresses)
- hosts/*.yaml — per-host identity files generated from inventory by
mcp/build_host_files.py; do not edit by hand
- AGENTS.md — orientation doc symlinked to /root/AGENTS.md on every client
- bootstrap.sh — one-shot enroll (Linux + macOS), clones repo, fetches age
key from issuance, installs sync timer/launchd job, drops the homelab CLI
- bin/homelab — single-binary Python CLI: whoami, list, ssh, pct, logs,
restart, open, status, secret, sync, mcp, client add/remove, nuke
- mcp/server.py — FastMCP server: context tools + read-only management
tools (no mutations exposed); shell-outs use mcp-reader restricted ssh key
- mcp/deploy/ — claudio-monitor-style gitea webhook deploy scaffold for the
MCP service on LXC 105 (ports 9810 mcp, 9811 webhook)
- secrets-issuance/ — per-client age key auto-provisioning over the mesh;
source-IP gated against inventory, with denylist for revoked clients
(ports 9820 issue, 9821 webhook)
- secrets/, .sops.yaml — SOPS recipient scaffolding; the operator fills in
age public keys after Phase 3a generates them
- scripts/sync/ — systemd timer (Linux) + launchd plist (macOS) pulling
/opt/homelab-context every 5 min
Mesh: both Netbird (preferred, 100.122.0.0/16) and Tailscale accepted
during the in-flight migration; no client is gated on completing the move.
