The window editor is path-first, which is exact but slow for the case that is nearly all of them.
The chips only offer whole shares; a subpath already in the window marks its share partial rather
than offering to widen it, and the path box stays the only way to express a subpath or a profile.
fallback.sh starts covered containers with docker start and never creates them, so a coverage list
the partner has never been sent is a promise nothing can keep — all twelve were missing. Adds the
push and remove paths, a readiness card that checks rather than infers, and the fallback state the
assistant needs to answer for it.
The card described the machine and said nothing about the thing whose dashboard
it is. Cache size matters most: VV_CACHE_ROOT is under /tmp, which on Unraid is
RAM, so it is shown against the rootfs percentage it counts against. Jobs are
locks with a live process — four lock files were sitting there and one job was
actually running.
Local stays the default and the cheap path; mesh asks each partner for its own
sessions over SSH, live rather than cached, because a stream is true for
minutes and a cached one would be confidently wrong about the only thing the
card exists to say.
Curated state copied to every node is state that can disagree, so the index,
the model and the shared memory stay on the owner and each node reaches them
over the SSH trust onboarding already builds. Chats stay on the node that had
them; memory and bug reports stay the owner's to write.
Comments asserting a partner is down, being rebuilt or not yet installed are true on the day they are written and wrong afterwards, and nothing prompts anyone to revisit them. Behaviour is described generically; current state belongs in operator memory, not in tracked files.
It existed to render two fields that live in master.conf's HOST IDENTITIES group, which the shared renderer now includes — one settings surface for the page rather than two both editing the same file.
The .plg hardcoded the flash path and runs every boot, so an appdata node served a stale copy that never receives pulls — fixes appeared to do nothing, indefinitely.
A first seed is ~28 TB behind a 12.5 MB/s bwlimit, and it ran inline as Step 9d, so the
phase-2 flag every status reader depends on was written only after it finished.
Phase 1 exists to hand the partner its identity before the install, but the push refused any
host without varaverk.cfg — so the conf could only ever reach a node that no longer needed it
to be told who it was. It now resolves the remote's conf directory across both install layouts
and creates the internal one when neither exists.
A low uptime figure, a refused login and a certificate that stopped
renewing all looked the same from the row: a number, with the reason
split across NPM, an Authelia config and the directory.
The why-check goes and looks — TCP to the forward target, HTTP through
the proxy, a second handshake with verification off to tell a broken
certificate from a broken service. Forward hosts are docker names that
only resolve on NPM's network, so an unresolvable one is redirected to
the container address and the substitution is reported; a check that
could not be made must never read as a check that failed.
The access simulator walks the rules the way Authelia does and shows the
ones it stepped over, reading whichever instance the chosen host points
at rather than the one conf names — there are two here.
Cert triage counts runs rather than log lines and orders by rotation
suffix rather than mtime, both of which change the answer.
NPM's access log only describes hosts somebody visited; the host most likely to be quietly broken
is the one nobody does. Probes carry a User-Agent npm_access_stats.sh drops — unmarked, this
monitor would be fifty thousand requests a day in the very logs it reports on.
NPM writes an access log per host and counts nothing, so 475 MB of logs held the only answer to
"is anything using this". Aggregated on a schedule and read from a few kB of JSON; the row also
now says whether an auth_request block is in front of the site, which nothing showed before.
NPM knows what a certificate is today and nothing about what it was, so ten of them could fail
renewal for months — 1001 certbot runs, zero successes — without anything on any page saying so.
Counts start at zero and are only ever observed; only first_seen is seeded, from NPM's own date.
Authentik is the likely destination and the page had Authelia and lldap wired in at every
level, so the seam goes in now: the panels and every endpoint action route off one conf value,
and a stack that cannot be driven yet says so rather than drawing controls with nothing behind.
lldap lets you edit five things about a user and one about a group; the page reached two of
them, so correcting a surname or a group's name still meant opening the container's own WebUI.
The block is rebuilt from the parsed model on every save and the parser discarded comments,
so one press of Save deleted the five ## lines that are the only thing in the file saying
what each rule is for — which inline editing was about to make far easier to press.
vv_is_ai_host() was `=== 'host1'`, which made a physical fact — that is where the
GPU is — look like a rule. AI_OWNER_HOST declares it, so the card can move to a
rebuilt host3 or a friend's spare.
The gate was also doing two jobs. Assistant docks and findings strips now ask
whether a model is reachable, so a node without a GPU gets them by borrowing;
the AI tab asks whether this is the owner, because that page carries the bug
reports, the index and the model configuration — the surface where the
vocabulary assumes you built the mesh.
Resolution is local, then owner, then anyone else declaring a model, pinned once
it answers. Pinned rather than re-derived per call: a mesh that re-decides every
request eventually decides differently mid-conversation, and a chat whose second
turn lands on another machine has no history there. Cleared only on a transport
failure, and only when there is somewhere else to go — a single-node mesh whose
model is down should say so, not report AI as unconfigured.
Declared in PHP rather than in each bash header, against scriptinfo's usual rule
that the header next to the code is authoritative: it is authoritative about what
the script does, and an enhancement is something else reading its output, gated
by a flag the script has never heard of. A description of PHP inside a file that
cannot enforce it would drift the first time either changed.
Shown with its switch, so "there is an enhancement" and "it is running" are never
the same claim. Discovery is listed even though nothing acts on its output — it
takes the first accessible root folder with no regard for content, and the
classification scan is what notices that night. That relationship explains where
misfiled series come from and was written down nowhere.
The triage could say Narcos is filed under anime and offer nothing to do about
it. Findings that recorded a destination now carry a Move action, which the AI
tab renders as a button on its own — actions are read from the server, so no UI
knew this existed. Armed like Fix and Dismiss, because it is the only action in
that card that relocates files rather than settings and the undo is another move.
Offered only where the triage said misfiled, never for uncertain: three
narrowings before a file is touched. Re-reads the series from Sonarr first, so a
finding gone stale cannot undo a move made by hand in the meantime.
Retyping two paths and nine checkboxes correctly every time is where the
mistakes come from, and "one-off" described how a transfer is scheduled rather
than how often it is run. Pinned entries are exempt from the rotation — the
command used twice a year is both the most worth keeping and the first that ten
ordinary runs evict. Stored server-side, so the list is there from any screen,
and loading one fills the form and stops rather than running it.
last_sync reads the maintenance orchestrators' run records, and those do git
pull, permissions, cleaners and docker updates on schedule whether or not the
global gate is open — so the page reported a healthy 56-minute "daily sync"
while nothing had transferred since 16 July. Both cards also compared status
against 'success' while being fed 'ok', so every clean run rendered in the
failure colour. Adds the assistant, scoped to the tab.
The tab collected over SSH on every 30s poll — 8.3s a load with HOST2 down.
vv_parse_conf_scalar() captured to end of line, so a commented toggle parsed as
"true # HOST2 back online": every threshold read right because (int) stops at
the first non-digit, and 38 booleans read wrong. The Fallback tab has been
showing failover disabled while it was on.
docker_update.sh runs bare in daily, --weekly in weekly and --remainder in
monthly, so switching it off in monthly disabled the daily run and reported
success.
