Bring the framework's global baseline (BASELINE-PROMPT.md, PATTERNS.md,
ADOPTING.md) into the repo — AGENTS.md referenced them but the files were
missing. AGENTS.md gains three rules adopted this session: TDD & Linting
(mandatory at the Ansible/IaC transition), IaC codification shadow-tracking
(every manual fleet change same-day ticketed to #454), and Redmine tracker
discipline (Support not Bug — the CLI default created nine misfiled
tickets, now corrected). Q10 records the direct-push vs PR conflict for
the founder to rule on.

pi-hole on netinfra-01/02 now conditionally forwards 192.168.0.0/16
reverse lookups to this node's Technitium over dnsnet, alongside the
existing knel.net + 100.64/10 pair. Technitium stays the single source
of truth; pollers (NetDisco, phpIPAM, UNPoller, Wazuh soon) resolving
via either node's :53 now get LAN PTRs. Both live revServer arrays and
this compose file are in sync; validated with forward, PTR (192.168 +
100.x), and external lookups against both nodes.

Fill the framework gaps the Makefile already referenced: scripts/test.sh
(wrapper over tests/run-tests.sh, now exercised by the pre-push full
audit) and up.sh/down.sh stubs for this non-compose repo. Extend
kuma-fleet-sync STATIC_GEAR with the fixed network/office devices

DOME) so future runs keep their ICMP monitors in sync; DOME added

router, APs, PDU, stor1, Reston VPSes) against Uptime Kuma ping
monitors over the socket.io API, and can create missing monitors with

engine.io polling pushes. First run closed the last 4 gaps: 84/84.

pfv-bms and tsys-umbrel were renamed in the Tailscale admin console,
so MagicDNS now serves the canonical names. The audit key switches
from the OS-reported hostname to the admin-assigned DNS name, which
retires the alias table. Reston VPS exclusion keyed to its MagicDNS

era stlpc uses root, pfvsvrpi is localuser not subodev [#446]
Probed root access on every host where localuser failed: all Proxmox
appliance VMs (PDM/PMG/PBS), stlpc-artroom/garage, pfv-jetson-nano-1,

Previous sessions used `qm guest exec` to back-door SSH keys into ~30 VMs,
bypassing sshd's audit trail in an ITAR/CMMC environment. Wire the ban deep
so it cannot recur:
- tests/remote.sh: remove the vm-guest mode + qm-guest-exec path entirely
- scripts/check-rules.sh: rule #11 fails on any `qm guest exec` / `vm-guest`
pattern in code (scans .sh/.bash/.py; docs may describe the ban freely)
- AGENTS.md: codify "Access-channel policy: SSH only" as non-negotiable;
add "Questions" rule banning harness question tools (use questions-v1.md)
- tests/vm-validation.sh: drop guest-agent key re-injection; SSH-only
- proxmox/perf/scripts/perf-matrix.sh + deploy-tuned-guests.sh: convert
guest-agent execution to SSH (vmroot) now that VMs have key + sudo
- bootstrap-all.sh: re-target the 8 remaining locked-out systems with
correct users/methods; print a console one-liner for publickey-only Pis
Guest-agent remains installable/checkable for Proxmox state visibility —
never as an execution or key-delivery path.
