Problem: Repo had no developer guide, no client onboarding doc, no agent
dev instructions. Stale files (675KB SQL dump, one-off convert script,
legacy MCP builder) cluttered the tree. Client enrollment was a documented
intention with no Go implementation.
Changes:
- New docs: CONTRIBUTING.md (dev setup), CLIENTS.md (client onboarding),
.agents/dev/CONTRIBUTING.md (agent codebase map)
- New plan: plans/2026-07-07-client-lifecycle-in-go.md — full client
lifecycle (planned→provisioning→active→deprecated→destroyed) in Go,
replacing archived Python secrets-issuance, adding client API endpoints
and 6 missing MCP tools
- Cleanup: deleted archive/convert-wiki.py (one-off), archive/mcp/
build_host_files.py (legacy), backups/pre-deploy-7f7d039.sql (local)
- Fixes: plans/index.md duplicate row removed, README.md repo layout
updated for current state, AGENTS.md header points to new guides
Risk: low. Docs only + stale file deletion. No code changes. New plan is
proposal, not implementation.
Verification: git diff reviewed, all changes are prose/docs/plans.
- Rewrote README from 'living documentation' to 'Oikos — agentic homelab
operating system written in Go.'
- Added quick start, architecture diagram, component ports table.
- Added Phase 1-6 status table with checkmarks.
- Added API usage examples, Hermes query examples, CLI reference.
- Added repo layout table.
- Note: Gitea repo path (dtoro/Homelab-Docs → dtoro/oikos) requires
Gitea UI rename — references in oikos/cards/, bootstrap.sh, and
deploy scripts will need updating after the rename.
The operating-model diagram in README was ASCII box art in a plain code
fence, not an actual Mermaid diagram — it wouldn't render as a graph on
Gitea/GitHub. Replaced with a `flowchart TD` matching the convention already
used by oikos/gen-topology.py's generated topology.md.

Problem: README listed specific IPs, container IDs, and per-host counts (e.g.
"hubris (15 active): 102 nfs-export, 103 paperless..."). This duplicates
inventory.yaml and the wiki index pages, and goes stale every time a node
moves, gets added, or is destroyed — exactly what happened during the strong
migration.
Fix: Replaced the Proxmox Hosts / VMs / LXC Containers / Cross-Cutting
Infrastructure subsections with plain pointers to their authoritative index
pages (knowledge/wiki/{hosts,vms,containers,infrastructure}/index.md).
Also dropped the "Last refreshed against live state" date line — another
claim that goes stale without a mechanism to keep it honest.
README's job is navigation, not a live topology snapshot.

The previous naming guide was incomplete. The actual convention is:
**Foundational docs:** ALL-CAPS
- Root entry-points: AGENTS.md, README.md (discovery paths)
- Agent instruction: .agents/OIKOS.md, .agents/HERMES.md (docs agents read first)
- Reference docs: GLOSSARY.md (like classic repo files: LICENSE, CHANGELOG)
**Content pages:** lowercase-with-dashes
- Containers: <id>-<name>.md (ID from inventory)
- Infrastructure: <topic>.md (system description)
- Plans/investigations: YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md (date-sorted)
- Section indices: README.md (conventional)
**Skills:** special pattern
- <name>/SKILL.md where <name> is lowercase-with-dashes
- SKILL.md filename is always uppercase — signpost for tools and humans
Uppercase is reserved for foundational/signpost docs; all paths otherwise use
lowercase with hyphens (no underscores).
Updated page-templates.md with expanded explanation, and updated AGENTS.md +
README.md to reference the corrected convention.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Added explicit file-naming rules to page-templates.md so agents know:
- Root entry-points: ALL-CAPS (AGENTS.md, README.md)
- Containers: <id>-<name>.md (e.g., 101-jellyfin.md)
- Infrastructure: lowercase-with-dashes (dns.md, auto-deploy.md)
- Plans/investigations: YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
- Skills: lowercase-with-dashes/ folder containing SKILL.md
Updated AGENTS.md section 4 (Wiki conventions) to link to page-templates.md
and provided quick reference for file naming, page locations, and changelog format.
Updated README.md conventions section to mention file naming and link to
page-templates.md for the full rules.
All agents now have a clear reference chain:
1. AGENTS.md (entry point) → points to conventions
2. page-templates.md (structure) → has file naming + page templates
3. writing-style.md (prose) → has voice, vocabulary, linking rules
4. llm-wiki.md (organization) → has sources/wiki/index/log model
Verified: no broken links, all conventions documented, consistency check passes.

Problem: after the wiki-hq reorg, agent-instruction and human-doc domains
were still scattered across the repo root, with three now-redundant stub
files cluttering it. The organizing principle wasn't visible in the layout.
Change — enforce three clear buckets:
- .agents/ = how agents operate: OIKOS.md, HERMES.md (moved from root),
shared/ conventions, domains/ schemas, skills/, and operations/ (operator
cheatsheet + enrollment + hermes-agent, moved from root).
- knowledge/ = what exists + evidence: wiki/, GLOSSARY.md, and sources/ now
including investigations/ (incident records are evidence/sources).
- root = substrate + two entry points (AGENTS.md, README.md), plus plans/
as its own design-intent domain.
Moves:
- investigations/ -> knowledge/sources/investigations/ (incl. archive/, index).
- operations/ -> .agents/operations/.
- HERMES.md -> .agents/HERMES.md.
- Deleted unreferenced root stubs CAVEMAN.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and OIKOS.md
(its 7 remaining linkers repointed to .agents/OIKOS.md).
Consumers updated:
- inventory.yaml doc_page (agent-enrollment) + regenerated hosts/*.yaml + cards.
- tools/setup-hermes-soul.sh and bootstrap.sh (x2) -> .agents/HERMES.md.
- bin/homelab help string -> .agents/operations/hermes-agent.md.
- knowledge/operations schemas, llm-wiki, page-templates, incident-investigation
skill, AGENTS.md/README nav -> new investigations/operations paths.
- All markdown links rewritten via the path-resolving mapper.
Left in place (substrate/executable/separate-domain): hosts/, ledger/, tools/,
plans/, oikos/, mcp/, secrets/, bin/, inventory.yaml.
Verification: docs-lint at baseline (2 intentional cross-repo refs, no new
breakage); gen-topology.py --check exit 0; build_host_files.py idempotent; all
doc_page targets resolve; Hermes provisioning scripts point at the new path.

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.

New off-host backup job replacing the disabled restic-on-USB backup: LXC 132
`rclone` mirrors selected /mnt/library folders to Proton Drive (plain rclone
sync, Proton's built-in E2E, no crypt overlay) on a monthly timer, with
rclone's Web GUI for LAN-only browsing/ad-hoc runs and live job status.
- containers/132-rclone.md: full design, Proton auth gotcha (TOTP secret vs
live code), pct exec PATH gotcha, rc-API job-visibility runner rewrite,
selected folder set (cloud/documents/repos), deferred tracked-repo note.
- infrastructure/backups.md: restic-on-USB marked DEPRECATED/superseded,
leads with the new job now.
- containers/index.md, README.md, infrastructure/media-permissions.md:
register the new container.
Reformatted the ludo-mini workstation to Proxmox VE 9.2.3 and joined it
to hubris's existing single-node "Homelab" cluster (2 nodes, no QDevice
yet). Added a second NVMe as its own LVM-thin pool (ludo-lvm). Renamed
the wiki/inventory identity from ludo-mini to strong to match the OS/
cluster hostname, since bootstrap's client-enrollment lookup depends on
that match. Also regenerated hosts/grimmory.yaml, which was missing from
git despite being referenced by inventory.yaml.

LXC 126 stopped and destroyed on hubris. Remove all live references:
inventory, container doc, host file, README, containers index, auto-deploy
pipeline, DNS entry, SSH access table, nfs-export mount list.

Adds infrastructure/homelab-context.md as the architecture reference for
the cross-client context + MCP + secrets-issuance system. Updates:
- 105-apps.md: two new ## Stacks sections (homelab-mcp, secrets-issuance)
with their deploy pipelines + a row each in the public-hostname table;
changelog entry.
- auto-deploy.md: both new pipelines added to the table (one repo, two
webhooks, same push); per-pipeline notes covering the clone-per-service
pattern and the deploy.sh self-restart caveat; changelog entry.
- README.md: link to the new infrastructure page.
Operational walkthrough already lives at operations/agent-enrollment.md;
this commit is the architecture side of the same story.

Captures the full enrollment flow validated during Phase 2 rollout: per-OS
dep install (dnf/apt/brew), Gitea PAT prerequisite, DNS gotchas, the
bootstrap command, post-bootstrap verification, the homelab client add
ceremony for new inventory entries, secret grant/revoke, and a
troubleshooting table mapping every failure mode we hit during validation
to the commit that fixed it.

Container had been stopped since 2026-04-21 and was never re-enabled.
pct destroy 109 --purge cleaned up vm-109-disk-0 on local-lvm and the
config file. /mnt/library/syncthing subtree was already empty at the
time of destruction and is retained as an empty dir (no real data to
migrate or back up).
- README.md, containers/index.md: removed row, moved to "recently
destroyed" table
- hosts/hubris.md: dropped from /mnt/library subtree list, updated
containers/index summary line, added changelog entry
- infrastructure/media-permissions.md: dropped from membership table
and onboarding example, generalised pct-exec gotcha hostname,
added changelog
- vms/100-zimaos.md: dropped from "existing fleet" enumeration
- containers/102-nfs-export.md: dropped from bind-mount sibling list
(7 LXCs now, not 8)
- containers/109-syncthing.md: deleted

After Files-UI evaluation passed (library renders as folder, thumbnails
work), flipped /etc/exports from ro to rw on LXC 102. Tested: write from
ZimaOS appears on /mnt/library as www-data:media, confirming the
all_squash,anonuid=33,anongid=10000 design works.
Documented two architectural findings discovered this session:
- ZimaOS Drives panel sources from GET /v2/local_storage/storages (read-only
API). Network shares cannot become Drives — Files-as-folder is supported.
- Mesh peers reach ZimaOS via hubris's existing 192.168.8.0/24 netbird subnet
advertisement; no new infra needed, just DNS (Management nameserver group
for hubris.network or per-device /etc/hosts override).
User destroyed the heaper LXC on 2026-05-14. Removed it from the
container index, README quicktable, hubris host doc, and
media-permissions membership table; moved to the "recently destroyed"
archaeology list. /mnt/library/heaper retained (224 MiB).

Same-day-as-deploy upgrade: image swapped to seafileltd/seafile-pro-mc:13.0-latest, elasticsearch:8.15.0 added as new compose service for Pro's full-text search. Free Pro tier (<=3 users, no license). Existing data + users survived.
Also documented the Caddy patch stripping IETF resumable-upload headers (Upload-Draft-Interop-Version etc.) so the iOS Seafile Pro 4.0.2 app falls back to plain multipart upload; without it large uploads stalled and cancelled after ~60s.
LXC 125 stood up as a Seafile CE 13.0 docker-compose deployment, behind
files.hubris.network. Authentik OAuth wired up via ak shell. No data
migration — exploration alongside Nextcloud (114).
Initial documentation of the hubris Proxmox homelab as a cross-linked
markdown wiki. Per-node pages, cross-cutting infrastructure pages, an
investigation log, and an operations cheatsheet. Each node and topic
ends with a Changelog section so changes can be tracked in-place going
forward.
Refreshed against live state on 2026-04-28 — 14 active LXCs (109
syncthing currently stopped) + 1 VM (108 haos). Reflects post-A/B-test
state of the 2026-04-21 hubris crash-loop investigation.
