A gated-off section left nothing failed, so the weekly could run for hours and report "all
complete" beside "0 shares synced"; skipped is now derived from what was expected rather than
self-reported, and the verdict degrades to PARTIAL instead of flattering.
Every orchestrator invoked its children differently — four near-duplicate
run_job() copies, a differently-shaped run_watchdog(), or plain inline bash
calls, each with its own take on path resolution, pass/fail naming, and
dry-run threading. Extracted one shared run_orch_child() into common.sh so
there's a single place to fix or extend this behavior going forward.
Along the way: watchdog_orchestrator.sh and monthly_maintenance.sh were
checking $VERBOSE, a variable nothing in the codebase ever assigns, so --log
silently did nothing beyond basic logging on those two. Fixed to
$ENABLE_LOGGING. watchdog_orchestrator.sh and array_started.sh had no
trailing exit, so their exit codes reflected whatever the last command
happened to return rather than actual success/failure. transcode_management.sh
had no failure notification and no summary at all. Also made
transcode_management.sh's two-script pipeline config-driven
(TRANSCODE_MANAGEMENT_SCRIPTS in master.conf) instead of hardcoded, for room
to extend it later without editing the orchestrator itself.
Every script now has the established header format: PURPOSE with ─────── separator,
OPERATIONAL MODEL, DESIGN PRINCIPLES, OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS, CONFIGURATION, and
RUNTIME MODES — structured with full ====== banner sections throughout.
Orchestrators converted from compact ── inline format to full banners. Stale
emby-fallback and dirty sync references removed from Plugin/user_script_plug-in.sh.
- Move SCRIPTS_DIR/DATA_DIR/STATE_DIR from appdata to /boot/config/plugins/varaverk
- All state files now in STATE_DIR (no more /tmp or /boot/config root writes)
- Bootstrap: Gitea-first clone with GitHub fallback, no array dependency
- varaverk.cfg seeded with Gitea connection settings
- .gitignore: add State_Files/, varaverk.cfg, varaverk-*.txz
- Partnership/transcode/fallback scripts use STATE_DIR variables
- PHP config.php: DATA_DIR/STATE_DIR constants, VV_SETUP_STATE_FILE dynamic
- deploy.sh PROD_ROOT updated to plugin flash dir

Previously ran daily at 3am with internal self-gating. Now scheduled directly
on the 15th — uptime and interval gates still apply; a skip means next month's 15th.
Two-gate design: server must have ≥30 days uptime AND last run must
be ≥30 days ago. Both gates must pass before any scripts fire. Called
daily at 3am via cron — script self-gates, calling more often is safe.
State file on /boot/config (survives reboots): the interval gate is
independent of uptime. A reboot resets uptime but does not reset when
maintenance last ran — both gates must independently pass.
MONTHLY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS added to master.conf in ORCHESTRATORS
section. zfs_pool_scrub.sh and smart_long_test.sh listed but commented
(neither script exists yet). Also commits mesh_monitor.sh move to
Monitors/ that was staged from prior session.
Supports --force to bypass both gates for manual runs.
