-# Varaverk — Claude Code Context
-
-## Working Rules (read first)
-
-- **Dev workspace** — `/mnt/cloud-storage/Important Shit/Git/Development/Varaverk/`. All editing happens here.
-- **Prod** — `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/`. Never edited directly. Only updated via `git pull` (daily orchestrator or the pull button in the UI).
-- **No Co-Authored-By** in commit messages unless explicitly asked.
-- **No comments** unless the WHY is genuinely non-obvious.
-
-### Current workflow: dev/prod split
-
-Edit in dev, push to Gitea, pull prod when ready (daily orchestrator or manual UI trigger).
-Push is the only bridge — no deploy hooks, no rsync-on-save, no direct path references between dev and prod.
-
-`plugin_setup.sh` stays pointing at the prod path. Dev never touches `/boot/` directly.
-
-### Hard limits — do not cross these
-
-- **Never create or modify `.claude/settings.json`** in this repo. No workspace hooks, ever. The stale hook that existed here previously fired `Deployment/deploy.sh` (now deleted) on every file edit and caused unintended deploys. If you think a hook would help, ask first.
-- **Never change `HOST1_STORAGE_MODE_INTERNAL`** in `host1.conf`. Claude data belongs in `/mnt/user/appdata/claude-code/` — not inside this repo.
-- **Never move files between `Configurations/` and `Deployment/`** without explicit instruction. `Configurations/` = live runtime confs (gitignored). `Deployment/` = templates and setup tooling (tracked).
-

-
-## Project: What Varaverk Is
-
-Self-healing, self-maintaining, mutually-redundant two-server Unraid home media ecosystem.
-One codebase runs on both servers. No primary/standby — both run independently and cover each other.
-
-**HOST1 — unRAID-Gmer4Lfe** (`gmer4lfe@gmail.com`)
-- Hardware: Threadripper 1950X, 128 GB RAM, ZFS cache pools
-- Domain: Gmer4Lfe.com
-- Runs: full arr stack (Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr), auth stack (source of truth), Emby primary
-
-**HOST2 — unRAID-Jayred365**
-- Hardware: Intel i5 10th gen, 64 GB RAM
-- Domain: Gmer4Lfe.us
-- Status: being rebuilt — most host2.conf sections scaffolded, not yet fully online
-
-Networking between hosts: Tailscale mesh. No hardcoded IPs — hostnames resolve via Tailscale.
-
----
-
-## Configuration System (three-file model)
-
-Every script sources all three at startup:
-
-```
-master.conf   ← shared: thresholds, toggles, profiles, orchestrator job lists
-host1.conf    ← HOST1 credentials, shares, container names, keys
-host2.conf    ← HOST2 credentials, shares, container names, keys
-```
-
-Sparse checkout (git) means each server only pulls its own `host*.conf`.
-HOST1 never sees HOST2 credentials and vice versa.
-
-**Rule:** thresholds/toggles → `master.conf`; credentials/paths/container names → `host*.conf`.
-
-`detect_hosts()` in `common.sh` matches `$(hostname)` against `HOST1`/`HOST2` in `master.conf`
-and sets `MY_ID` / `REMOTE_ID` for the rest of the script.
-
----
-
-## Platform Adapter Layer
-
-`Plugin/unraid/adapter.sh` isolates all OS-specific calls.
-Scripts never branch on OS directly — always call adapter functions.
-This is intentional architecture — don't bypass it.
-
----
-
-## Key Paths
-
-| Path | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `master.conf` | Shared config — all thresholds, toggles, profiles |
-| `host1.conf` / `host2.conf` | Per-host credentials, shares, container lists |
-| `common.sh` | Shared functions — `detect_hosts()`, `log()`, `notify()`, etc. |
-| `load_config.sh` | Sources all three conf files + common.sh |
-| `State_Files/` | Runtime state (watchdogs, fallback, transcode) — survives reboots |
-| `data/` | Historical logs and stats |
-| `Plugin/unraid/` | Unraid WebGUI plugin (PHP pages, API endpoints, adapter) |
-| `Orchestrators/` | Top-level schedulers (array_started, daily, weekly, watchdog) |
-| `Watchdogs/` | docker_watchdog, system_watchdog, resource_watchdog, stability |
-| `Fallback/` | Mutual container failover logic |
-| `Rsync/` | rsync.sh + profile system |
-| `Media/` | Arr cleanup, discovery, permissions, play state sync |
-| `Tools/` | Manual one-off tools including `claude_startup.sh` |
-
----
-
-## Orchestrator Schedule
-
-| When | What |
-|------|------|
-| Array start | `Orchestrators/array_started.sh` → runs `ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS` |
-| Every minute | `watchdog_orchestrator.sh` → resource → docker → system → stability watchdogs |
-| Every 30 min | `critical_sync_maintenance.sh` → downloaders_reset, play_state_sync, critical rsync |
-| Every 4 hours | `intermediate_sync_maintenance.sh` → arr_sync, arrs_failed_stalled_recovery |
-| Daily 1am | `daily_sync_maintenance.sh` → git pull, permissions, cleaners, arr cleanup, docker updates |
-| Sunday 2:30am | `weekly_sync_maintenance.sh` → full Emby + Critical-Data sync, weekly restarts |
-| Sunday 3am+ | `monthly_maintenance.sh` (self-gated on 30-day uptime) → ZFS scrub, SMART tests |
-| Sunday 7am | `sunday_morning_coffee_report.sh` → ZFS, SMART, certs, backup verify, bandwidth, Emby report |
-
----
-
-## Rsync Toggle State (current)
-
-```bash
-RSYNC_ENABLED=true
-CRITICAL_RSYNC_ENABLED=true
-INTERMEDIATE_RSYNC_ENABLED=true
-DAILY_RSYNC_ENABLED=true
-WEEKLY_RSYNC_ENABLED=true
-FALLBACK_RSYNC_ENABLED=true
-```
-
----
-
-## Fallback System
-
-`fallback.sh` runs continuously from array start.
-States: `NORMAL | FALLBACK | NO_INTERNET | DARK`
-
-DDNS rules are absolute:
-- Internet loss → stop own DDNS immediately
-- Failover → start remote's DDNS as Tier 1 first
-- Handback → stop remote DDNS → rsync → start containers → start local DDNS last
-
-Tier delays before activating higher tiers are in `host*.conf` (`HOST1_TIER*_DELAY`, `HOST2_TIER*_DELAY`).
-
----
-
-## Port Notes
-
-- **NPM admin API (`HOST1_NPM_URL`)** — port **7818**. Port 81 is the partnership WebUI port (`HOST1_PARTNERSHIP_AUTH_WEBUIS`), not the API. Easy to confuse.
-- **HOST1_NETWORK_WATCHDOG_NPM_URL** — external HTTPS domain, completely separate from the admin API.
-
-## Known Gaps / Active Work
-
-- HOST2 NPM/lldap credentials (`HOST2_NPM_USER`, `HOST2_NPM_PASS`, `HOST2_LLDAP_PASS`) are empty in `host2.conf` — fill in when HOST2 is back online.
-- `PARTNERSHIP_ENABLED=false` — not yet active.
-- `FALLBACK_ENABLED=true` — fallback is running.
-
----
-
-## Claude Code Persistence on Unraid
-
-`/root` is a RAM filesystem — wiped on every reboot.
-`Tools/claude_startup.sh` runs at array start (via `ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS`) and:
-- Symlinks `/root/.claude` → `/mnt/user/appdata/claude-code/.claude`
-- Symlinks `/root/.local/share/claude` → `/mnt/user/appdata/claude-code/local/share/claude`
-- Symlinks `/root/CLAUDE.md` → `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/CLAUDE.md` (this file)
-
-This file lives on `/boot` (USB flash) and is always available regardless of array state.
-
----
-
-## Commit Style
-
-Plain, concise messages. No Co-Authored-By trailers. No bullet-point summaries in the body.
-One sentence on the why, not the what.

-# ==============================================================================================
-# ================================= Claude Code Startup ========================================
-# ==============================================================================================
-#
-# PURPOSE
-# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-# Restores Claude Code's persistent data after an Unraid reboot.
-# /root is RAM — wiped on every boot. This script re-creates symlinks so
-# Claude's memory, sessions, settings, and binary survive across reboots.
-#
-# Storage mode is read from the host conf file:
-#
-#   HOST*_STORAGE_MODE_INTERNAL=true   → Internal (boot) mode
-#       .claude data  → /boot/config/claude
-#       binary        → /boot/config/claude-bin
-#       No array dependency — runs even before array mounts.
-#
-#   HOST*_STORAGE_MODE_INTERNAL=false  → Appdata mode
-#       .claude data  → /mnt/user/appdata/claude-code/.claude
-#       binary        → /mnt/user/appdata/claude-code/local/share/claude
-#       Requires array to be mounted.
-#
-# On first run in either mode, migrates any existing live data to persistent
-# storage. Subsequent runs only re-create the symlinks.
-#
-# Standalone script — no common.sh dependency. Safe to run directly from
-# terminal or from array_started.sh.
-#
-# ==============================================================================================
-# DESIGN PRINCIPLES
-# ==============================================================================================
-#
-# Mode-Aware Paths
-#   Storage mode is read from host*.conf before any symlink is created. Internal
-#   mode (boot) requires no array — symlinks resolve immediately. Appdata mode
-#   requires the array to be mounted before symlinks are useful.
-#
-# Migrate on First Run
-#   If live data already exists at /root/.claude and the persistent store is
-#   empty, the live data is moved to persistent storage on first run. Subsequent
-#   runs only re-create the symlinks — migration is one-time.
-#
-# No common.sh Dependency
-#   Runs before load_config.sh is available (early in ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS).
-#   All logic is self-contained — no ecosystem functions used.
-#
-# ==============================================================================================
-# OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS
-# ==============================================================================================
-#
-#   Conf probe     — reads storage mode from Configurations/host*.conf directly
-#   Migration guard — only migrates if persistent store is empty; never overwrites
-#   Symlink-safe   — removes existing symlink before re-creating; won't error on re-run
-#
-# ==============================================================================================
-# RUNTIME MODES
-# ==============================================================================================
-#
-# claude_startup.sh
-#     Set up persistent symlinks only — default, used by array_started.sh on boot.
-#

-#     Set up persistent symlinks and launch Claude interactively.
