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both superseded by the production containerized Nomos agent, which has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.

Phase 0 of plans/2026-07-12-wails-desktop-app.md. The control-room SPA
is no longer embedded (web/embed.go deleted); it's a standalone static
build served separately (make ui / make deploy-ui). The api process
adds CORS and drops the dev-open auth bypass — every route now needs a
real bearer token, including SSE (?token= query param, EventSource
can't set headers) and api's own /agent proxy to nomos (previously
unauthenticated by omission).
nomos was an unauthenticated client of api's /mcp and approval-decision
endpoints; closing dev-open would have broken it, so it now sends
Authorization: Bearer $OIKOS_MCP_BEARER_TOKEN on every call back to api.
SPA gets a runtime config module (config.ts) and a Config.svelte
first-launch/reconfigure page, reachable afterwards via a "Connection"
entry in the sidebar footer. Every fetch() in api.ts routes through
fetchWithAuth so the same build works same-origin (browser prod, Vite
dev proxy) or cross-origin (future Wails webview, remote access).
Six gaps found against the plan and the live Caddy topology while
implementing — documented in the plan's "Plan review" section, most
notably: api's own /agent mount was never behind combinedAuth (fixed),
and production's Authentik forward-auth needs a bearer-token bypass for
API routes that this repo's Caddyfile.oikos reference copy now has, but
the real dtoro/caddy-conf deploy does not yet.
Verified live: cross-origin static SPA + API, CORS, bearer auth, SSE
query-token auth, and localStorage persistence all confirmed working
in-browser. Full Go test suite and npm run build pass with no
regressions against the pre-change baseline.

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.
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.

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.
