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.

- scripts/dns-sync.py: reconcile Technitium named A-records -> NetBird managed
zone via API (cron */10 on dns LXC 107). Single authoring source; kills the
manual drift behind the auth/sso/nfs-export saga.
- secrets/netbird-pat.yaml: sops-encrypted NetBird API PAT for the sync.
- dns.md / 107-dns.md: document the sync model + why forward-to-Technitium was
abandoned (NetBird self-IP / nameserver-group quirks).
- Cleanup: removed inert Mac secondary; reverted primary AXFR; home-lab-dns ->
[192.168.8.2] (1/1 Available); deleted vestigial Proxmox Names group.

`bootstrap.sh --with-hermes` installs the Goose CLI, drops a Goose
config pinning the OpenRouter provider + Nous Hermes model + the
homelab MCP extension, symlinks `bin/hermes` and HERMES.md, and links
HERMES.md as `.goosehints` so the persona is injected as the system
prompt every session.
`bin/hermes` decrypts `secrets/openrouter-api-key.yaml` via the existing
`homelab secret` flow and execs `goose session`.
`homelab client add --with-hermes` grants the new sops secret to the
host's age_pubkey at finalize time (parallel to the existing
shared-secrets grant). `client remove` revokes it.
`operations/hermes-agent.md` covers the end-to-end flow, verification,
troubleshooting, and queues one follow-up: the MCP server still runs
SSE-only but Goose 1.x deprecated SSE — the Goose config targets
`streamable_http` and the `homelab` extension won't connect until
`mcp/server.py` migrates. The `developer` extension (shell + edit +
`homelab` CLI) carries the agent in the meantime.

The IONOS netbird VPS held two credentials in plaintext that were the last
holdouts from the homelab's sops+age secrets pattern:
- /root/turn-pass.txt (coturn long-term-credential password)
- PKCEAuthorizationFlow.ProviderConfig.ClientSecret inline in
/opt/management.json (Authentik OIDC client secret)
This commit moves both into sops-encrypted YAML in the repo and adds a render
command that recreates the VPS config files from templates + decrypted secrets:
* secrets/turn-shared-secret.yaml — encrypted `password: <coturn pwd>`
* secrets/netbird-authentik-oidc.yaml — encrypted `client_secret: <...>`
Both recipients = hubris + apps + republic-laptop (same 3 as hello.yaml).
* vps/turnserver.conf.tmpl + vps/management.json.tmpl — templates with
{{TURN_PASSWORD}} + {{AUTHENTIK_CLIENT_SECRET}} placeholders.
* bin/homelab new subcommand `render-vps-configs`:
- Decrypts both secrets locally (works on any recipient).
- Substitutes placeholders into templates.
- Diffs against current VPS state via ssh, prompts, applies atomically
(write `.new` then mv), restarts coturn + netbird-mgmt.
- --dry-run + -y flags. Hops through hubris when not running on hubris
itself, since VPS sshd is locked to hubris's pubkey.
* inventory.yaml adds the VPS as `kind: external` (new kind; reserved for
ssh-managed hosts that aren't homelab clients themselves — no age key,
no /opt/homelab-context). hosts/netbird-vps.yaml regenerated.
* SHARED_SECRETS list includes both new secrets so re-keys on enrollment
changes pick them up automatically.
After this lands + the 5-min sync propagates to hubris, run from hubris PVE
shell (or any client; hubris just skips the extra ssh hop):
homelab render-vps-configs --dry-run # see plan, no changes
homelab render-vps-configs -y # apply + restart services
Once verified working, the plaintext `/root/turn-pass.txt` should be deleted
on the VPS (the rendered /etc/turnserver.conf no longer needs it as a
reference).
Adds secrets/gitea-pat.yaml (SOPS-encrypted, dtoro PAT with read+write
scopes) so any enrolled client can push to dtoro/Homelab-Docs — not just
where I have SSH. Recipient set = hello.yaml's (hubris, apps, republic);
expand alongside hello.yaml when enrolling new clients.
bin/homelab gains 'refresh-creds': decrypts gitea-pat.yaml, rewrites
/etc/homelab-context/git-credentials with the write token, repoints
git's --system credential helper. Re-execs via sudo for non-root callers
(same pattern as 'homelab secret').
After this lands, 'homelab client add/remove' and wiki edits can run
from any client. The initial bootstrap still needs an operator-supplied
read-only PAT (chicken-and-egg); 'refresh-creds' upgrades the client
to write afterwards.

Phase 2 first workstation enrolled. age1vf8... is republic-laptop's
issued pubkey; added as a recipient on hello.yaml so the post-bootstrap
decrypt test works there.

Encrypted to hubris + apps; expand recipients as new clients enrol via
'sops updatekeys -y secrets/hello.yaml'. Tests the full sops + age path.

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.
