The pull substituted only HOSTN_, so bare HOSTN in comments kept tripping
conf_upgrade's own guard and no host conf had upgraded since the guard landed.
Merging the raw host.conf.template against a live host conf matched HOSTN_
against HOST1_, classified all 140 real keys as deprecated and would have
removed every credential on the host. Also points the Ollama model default
at a tag that still exists.
A copy truncates the live conf and writes into it, so anything sourcing load_config.sh
during that window reads a partial file with empty path variables.
Deployment/conf_templates/ had two stale files: host.conf.template was a copy of host1.conf
(not a HOSTN template), and master.conf had hardcoded hostnames and an old appdata DATA_DIR path.
The correct templates already exist in Configurations/ (master.conf.template, host.conf.template).
Updated varaverk.plg and git_pull_execute.sh to read from Configurations/ directly.
Removed TMPL_DIR variable from git_pull_execute.sh — CONF_DIR covers both.
