Four cross-linked documents under docs/mbse/, structured after Jon Holt's
Systems Engineering Demystified (2nd ed.): Framework = Ontology + Viewpoints,
producing a Model made of Views.
- framework.md — the Ontology (SE meta-concepts + Oikos's domain ontology)
and an 11-entry Viewpoint catalog (two repeating: Component, Ontology).
- README.md — the Model's 9 concern-based Views (mission, requirements,
functional/physical architecture, interfaces, behavior, V&V, risk, roadmap).
- components.md — 8 per-component Views going one layer deeper into each
running part of the system's own internal structure.
- ontology.md — 4 Views on the domain ontology itself: entity type
hierarchy (split into 9 digestible per-domain diagrams), full relationship
catalog, lifecycle state machines with their requires: gates, and concrete
population.
Grounded in direct verification against source (grep/read), not just
existing docs — every finding is graded verified vs. per-research-pass.
Surfaced several real, previously undocumented findings along the way:
the policy kill-switch (global.auto_act/never_auto_act) is checked only by
dead code and an unstarted actuator package, so it doesn't gate the live
run path; internal/actuator and internal/learning are compiled but never
started by any process; the relationship catalog grew from 34 to 47 types
since ADR-0014; and task has no registered lifecycle_defs entry despite
having a documented, code-enforced state machine.

Documentation and repo-hygiene pass following the client/server split:
Plan drift (audited all other active plans against current code):
- oikos-gaps-and-improvements.md: mark Section C and D.5 resolved (both
described cmd/hermes, renamed to cmd/nomos with a real LLM loop since);
refresh ~10 stale file:line citations; fix tool-count (33, not 28).
- liveness-drift-and-ux-cohesion.md: fix stale default-model claim (now
deepseek-v4-pro since 2026-07-10) and "not yet deployed" status.
- nomos-agent-code-review.md: fix C1's citation (one unauthenticated route
to nomos now, not two, after the client/server split).
- wails-desktop-app.md: record the production deploy outcome.
Repo structure: added missing directories to README/CONTRIBUTING layout
tables (checks/, tools/, cmd/webhook/, docs/operations/), fixed a broken
link, added ADR 0015 documenting the auth/CORS/client-split model (there
wasn't one despite CONTRIBUTING's own process requiring it), normalized
ADR 0013/0014's format drift, added an Authentication section to
AGENTS.md/CLIENTS.md (every example call was missing the now-required
bearer header).
Retired the Goose+Nomos workstation flow (bootstrap.sh --with-nomos,
tools/setup-nomos-soul.sh, .agents/operations/nomos-agent.md) and the
Caveman auto-install tooling (tools/setup-caveman.sh, tools/caveman/) —
both superseded by the production containerized Nomos agent, which has
never used either. Kept .agents/shared/caveman.md itself (the terse
writing-style convention agents still follow by reading it).
Deleted the orphaned legacy Python oikos/ directory — nothing imports it,
and bin/homelab (the CLI it was kept for) no longer exists in the repo.
Rewrote .agents/operations/agent-enrollment.md (365 -> ~110 lines) and
commands.md to match the current architecture instead of the retired
`homelab` CLI; migrated the still-true networking prerequisites (Netbird,
split-horizon DNS, SSH key distribution) into the knowledge base as a
runbook via upsert_knowledge rather than duplicating them in markdown.
Updated all 10 .agents/skills/ runbooks referencing the dead CLI with
their real MCP tool / REST API equivalents, or flagged them as needing
verification where no equivalent is confirmed yet.
Two real bugs found and fixed, not just docs:
- The tools/setup-*.sh auto-setup glob was tools/*.setup.sh in THREE
places (tools/post-pull.sh, bootstrap.sh, and internal/httpapi/impl.go's
GetClientContext handler) since the mechanism's introduction on
2026-06-02 — never matched any real filename, so no client has ever
picked up an auto-setup script via git-pull or the context-poller sync.
Fixed all three; the Go server-side fix is the one that actually matters
since it's what the current context-poller mechanism depends on.
- bootstrap.sh removed dead vestigial --gitea-token/--gitea-user flags
(parsed, never consumed) left over from an earlier clone-based model.
Also flagged, not fixed (documented as an open gap in
client-enrollment/SKILL.md): bootstrap.sh tells a freshly-enrolled client
to call POST /api/v1/clients/{slug}/activate to finish enrollment, but
that route doesn't exist in api/openapi.yaml — EnrollClient sets entities
to provisioning and nothing currently transitions them to active.

Add docs/signal-triggers.md covering:
- End-to-end sequence diagram (Nomos → API → Scheduler → target host)
- Two paths: autonomous collection (scheduler) + query (MCP)
- All 6 check kinds and 17 available scripts
- Script deployment flow via sync timer
- Signal lifecycle, threshold evaluation, data flow through DB tables
- Prerequisites for SSH checks in Docker
Plan #1 at 98% (code complete). Three fixes applied to remaining cutover items:
1. watchdog.sh — dual-path health checking (LAN 192.168.8.175 + mesh/Caddy
proxy). Only pages when BOTH paths fail. Partial failure logged but not
paged (distinguishes stack problem from mesh/Caddy issue).
2. deploy.sh — pre-deploy pg_dump before each deploy saves to
/opt/oikos/backups/pre-deploy-<sha>.sql. Rollback script now has a
guaranteed recovery point.
3. docs/operations/rollback.md — runbook documenting automated rollback,
manual recovery, decision tree, backup schedule, and rehearsal log.
Two operational items remain (require operator on Proxmox/Gitea):
- Remove Gitea webhooks ids 10, 11 from dtoro/Homelab-Docs
- Archive apps/105 LXC (pct stop 105 + archive)
All active config (seeds, compose, scripts) is already clean of apps/105 refs.
Infisical bootstrap code is complete (bootstrap-infisical.sh + Go backend).
