Completes dba54b2 (which staged deletions only — pathspec'd add missed
the content edits). Layout table, Key Scripts, DNS discipline, conman
section now point at KNEL/netinfra|facilities|perf|monitoring|inventory;
conman example switched from IP literal to pfv-tsys4 (DNS-names rule).

Clickable-refs mandate from Charles: ticket comments link commits,
commit bodies link the Redmine comment URL, Discourse links both —
one click between Redmine/Gitea/Discourse (GLPI/CMDB change control
will extend this). Mechanical body-URL check queued under #441.

Founder rule: every Technitium/DNS/DHCP change ends with a same-session
SoR sync — zone-snapshot.sh then drift-check green, then commit. Added
the tool (tar-pulls the DZ store from the primary via the chokepoint),
wrote the rule into AGENTS.md (DNS change discipline + Key Scripts rows),
refreshed 4 stale snapshots (knel.net, 1/3.168.192 reverse, 119.70.100
— incl. the deleted ultix-offstage PTR). drift-check: ALL IN SYNC.
Also: last tsrouter mentions retired (AGENTS.md, setup.sh header).
How to read and rename founder todo-list items via HA REST for the

Archive the non-ported remainder of the legacy KNELServerBuild repo
under archive/KNELServerBuild/ with its original structure intact,
completing the legacy repo merge for everything except the live
LibreNMS patterns (ported in the previous commit).
Exclusions:
- .git history (superseded; legacy repo remains at its original path)
- ported files (Agents/librenms, Modules/OAM/oam-librenms.sh,
ConfigFiles/SNMP/snmp-sudo.conf)
- vendored KNELShellFramework tree (byte-identical duplicate of the
copy already vendored at vendor/ in this repo)
- SSH authorized-keys files (live access-control material; carrying
them in an archive invites drift — key policy lives elsewhere)
The whole tree is skip-listed in tests/shellcheck.sh (archived legacy
code, not maintained — same standing as vendor/); check-rules.sh
already prunes archive/. Rule 9 (conflict markers) now also excludes
archive/ staged files: preserved-verbatim legacy scripts contain
decorative "====" banners that false-positive as conflict markers
(same archive exclusion precedent as rule 11).
AGENTS.md: note archive/KNELServerBuild and oam/librenms-agent in the
Repository Layout, and fix the stale KNELIAC path to
/home/reachableceo/projects/KNEL/KNELIAC.

The ticket gate required the single .crush/active-ticket file, so two
concurrent sessions overwrote each other's ticket mid-work. The gate now
accepts any non-empty .crush/active-ticket* file; each session keeps its
own (e.g. active-ticket-plant, active-ticket-core). Also prune .crush/
session scratch from both shellcheck scanners so one session's throwaway
probe scripts cannot block the other session's commits. Documented in
AGENTS.md Task Tracking.

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.

Adds a mandatory second gate (step 8) after the rule-summary gate. The
agent must now present the handoff's priority list and wait for the user
to name the target ticket before doing any work. Prevents the agent from
scanning the full Redmine queue and autonomously picking work outside the
session's intended scope.

Replace soft "ssh may be blocked" note with hard non-negotiable rules:
ALL SSH must route through remote.sh/remote-dns.sh chokepoints, and ALL
host references must use DNS names — never IP literals. Eliminates the
per-session discovery tax of finding the right IP for each host. Updates
session-start gate summary, quick-reference examples, and conman config
to purge IP addresses in favor of DNS names.

Mechanically enforces the Agent Authority policy: blocks all modifying
operations (bash, edit, write, multiedit) until an active ticket is set
via: echo '#NNN' > .crush/active-ticket
Exempts read-only tools, ticket management (redmine-cli/discourse-cli),
repo hygiene (check-rules, shellcheck), and monitoring commands.
Also: un-ignore .crush/crush.json so the hook config is tracked in git.

New NON-NEGOTIABLE rule: agents may suggest closing a ticket when the
result is clearly scoped and delivered, but must never close without
explicit user permission. Added to both PFVCluster AGENTS.md (Agent
Authority section + Task Tracking section) and the meta template
(~/daytoday/meta/AGENTS.md Systems of Record section).
Also reopened#407 — KNELCredsManager is not complete (only beginnings
in place). Corrected Vault understanding: deployed on Cloudron, not SITER k8s.

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.

Add non-negotiable "Agent Authority" section to AGENTS.md codifying that
no system work is permissible without an approved Redmine ticket, and that
security/access changes are policy decisions owned by the user — never
autonomously implemented by the agent.
Also add the access bootstrap toolkit:
- agent-bootstrap.sh: in-guest key + sudo setup (localuser sudo only per policy)
- bootstrap-all.sh: workstation-side push to remaining NO-KEY systems
- access-matrix.sh: full fleet SSH/sudo probe
- probe-ssh.sh, probe-ssh-localuser.sh, probe-ga.sh, pivot-probe.sh,
ga-push-key.sh: diagnostic scripts used during access audit

Make operational instructions portable across AI harnesses (Crush,
Hermes, OpenWebUI). Previously lived in .crush/memory/operational.md
which is Crush-specific.
New sections added to AGENTS.md:
- Switch Console Access (conman): server, script, console map, usage
- Mandatory Documentation Protocol: every infra change must be ticketed
+ logged in Discourse before moving on
- Tooling: available tools, shellcheck, HTTP write constraints
- Key Commands Quick Reference: common commands for all access patterns
- Credential Management: current state + Vault migration goal
Updated:
- "SSH in Crush" generalized to "SSH access" (harness-agnostic)
- Key Scripts table updated with new audit/tuned scripts
The .crush/memory/operational.md file is now redundant; all its content

Both tracking systems have read/write CLI wrappers in ~/daytoday/ (Docker
containers backed by gitignored .env files). Fold the key access details,
command examples, IDs, and gotchas into AGENTS.md so any agent session can
create tickets and edit wiki topics without rediscovering the tooling.
All knowledge docs (architecture, runbooks, references, audits, policies)
have been migrated to community.turnsys.com as wiki topics in the VP
TechOps category. Discourse is now the canonical source of truth for
documentation; git edit history no longer serves as the doc changelog.
37 .md files converted to short pointers linking to their Discourse
topics. AGENTS.md updated with new documentation workflow policy.
Code (scripts, configs, playbooks) remains authoritative in git.
Replace STATUS.md checklists with a Redmine ticket index. All work
status, completion tracking, and issue management now lives in Redmine
(version: Potential to Kinetic Ready, due 2026-09-30). AGENTS.md gains
a Redmine Tracking Policy section with rules for ticket references,
closing procedures, and STATUS.md's new read-only role.
Read-only audit (nmap/SNMP/SSH/API) reconciling the repo and fleet after the
operator's module/subproject restructure and infrastructure changes. New
authoritative audit doc captures: 4 switches up / 1 down (r2-tor-top offline),
63 VMs (was 28), 167 DNS zones (was 124), 753 DHCP leases (was 333), tsys5
storage now configured, tsys4 upgraded to 9.2.5, k8s cluster DOWN (cnode wiped,
no etcd quorum), netinfra-02 wiped, 3-tier Tailscale fleet (80 nodes).
Index files (README, AGENTS, docmap, STATUS) updated to the new layout
(provisioning→archive, powerman/console/ups→dcinfra, dns-cluster-setup/switches/
dhcp→netinfra, perf→proxmox/perf) and all stale root-level path references fixed.
