Four new standalone reference documents with Mermaid diagrams (renderable
on Gitea), built from live ground-truth data gathered 2026-07-30:
- NETWORK-TOPOLOGY.md: physical topology diagram, complete switch port
maps (core-sw01 + tor3-stor), VLAN/subnet tables, cross-rack trunk
analysis with Mermaid, NFS data-flow diagram, per-host NIC reference
- STORAGE-ARCHITECTURE.md: tier definitions, all 14 physical disks
inventoried with SMART/size/tier, NFS export→mount map with Mermaid,
per-spindle VM placement (IOPS hotspot analysis), capacity summary
- HOST-REFERENCE.md: one-page-per-host for all 7 nodes with hardware,
network config, storage, tuning state, role, and running VMs
- VM-INVENTORY.md: VM placement diagram, all 28 running VMs with
disk/CPU/RAM/config details, optimization audit (cache mode, CPU type,
qga, disk controller, k8s wnode sizing), stopped VM reference
Updated docmap.md with all four new entries.

Architecture
- Proxmox hosts: 7 standalone PVE installs managed via PDM
- DNS: Technitium (authoritative) + Pi-hole (recursive) on pfv-netinfra-01/02
- NTP: pfv-netinfra-01/02 (redundant, LAN IPs, stratum 2/3)
- Production: Cloudron VPS in Reston VA (this cluster is R&D only)
- Backups: Proxmox Backup Server (PBS)
