+# Scroll test — run in order, ~60s, tell me which pass/fail
+
+W1. Stay in this chat window: mouse wheel — does the chat scroll?
+W2. Same window: PgUp / PgDn keys — does the chat scroll?
+W3. Ctrl-A 1 → test shell with 200 numbered lines: wheel — does it scroll?
+W4. Ctrl-A 0 to come back. Anywhere: Ctrl-A [ then wheel or arrows; q exits.
+
+Notes:
+- Copy mode (Ctrl-A [) and PgUp/PgDn are keyboard-only paths that cannot
+  depend on mouse events. One of them surviving = reading is unblocked.
+- All buffers are now 10000 lines.
+- A deeper fix (termcapinfo in ~/.screenrc) activates on the next natural
+  relaunch — I am NOT restarting your live screens.

+# RCEO HUD — 2026-08-28 16:27
+
+| what | state |
+|---|---|
+| FOCUS | compact in progress → post-compact: confirm continuity, resume queue |
+| scroll | fixed-enough (polish optional); Work relaunched OK (pinned) |
+| RCEO-PMO | restarting → returns pinned 78cf63b8a72f4282, full memory |
+| RCEO-Work | up (pid 2664772), pinned e1079, idle, gate holds |
+| org | TSG stood down; STANDDOWN set |
+
+NEXT (Charles, in order): standing release + pilot Redmine scope → migration
+go → wire-tooling review → chipreverse→CTO
+NEEDS ROOT (20s): `sudo bash ~/.coordinate/scripts/root-rename-inbox.sh`
+Test bed RCEO-ScrollTest still up (kill anytime: `screen -S RCEO-ScrollTest -X quit`)

+# MIGRATION — ~/projects -> vertical accounts (mapping LOCKED 2026-08-28)
+
+Mechanics (two-phase, on Charles's go): rsync -a via root to target home ->
+chown -R target -> verify (du + counts + git status) -> originals deleted
+ONLY on second explicit go. .crush session data travels with dirs.
+
+| Project | Size | Target | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| PFVCluster | 89M (71M .crush) | TSGCOO: ~/projects/PFVCluster-rceo/ | side-by-side, COO has own copy |
+| hermes-rceo-streaming | 223M | TSGCOO | streaming infra |
+| KNEL-AIMiddleware | 512M | TSGCOO (FULL incl vendor/) | repo mirror already in tooling/knel-aimiddleware @2440188 (2.4M, no vendor) |
+| TSYSDevStack-SupportStack-Cloudron | 12M | TSGCOO | |
+| TSYSDevStack-SupportStack-LocalWorkstation | 52K | TSGCOO | |
+| WorkstationStack | 3.6M | TSGCOO | |
+| netbird | 11M | TSGCOO | |
+| TCTC | empty | TSGCOO | create empty dir |
+| org-buildout | 484K | TSGBOD | |
+| TSYSGroupAIOS | 6.8M | TSGBOD | |
+| dotfiles | 236K | STAYS (reachableceo) | Charles's personal dotfiles |
+| SITER-Solar | 520K | HOLD — likely COS (offstage) | 3-new-vertical chief-of-staff stack |
+| TSG | empty | skip | |
+
+Open: chipreverse (~/, not ~/projects) include? → CTO?
+Gone: TSYSDevStack-RandD in old session registry but not on disk.
+Hygiene: KNEL .env tracked at gitea origin — values empty; untrack someday.

+# SOR-BASELINE — reachableceo vertical (2026-08-28T11:55, verified live)
+
+| System | Endpoint | Path | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Gitea | git.knownelement.com | tea CLI (HTTPS+token), default login set | VERIFIED (repos listed; see caveat) |
+| Redmine | projects.knownelement.com | ~/.creds/redmine.env API key | VERIFIED (HTTP 200, user id 5 reachableceo, admin:false) |
+| Discourse | community.turnsys.com | ~/.creds/discourse.env API key | VERIFIED (HTTP 200, current_user reachableceo) |
+| Docker registry | git.knownelement.com | ~/.docker/config.json auth | VERIFIED (re-login succeeded) |
+
+Notes:
+- Gitea regression found+fixed: tea had no DEFAULT login ("no gitea login
+  detected" fallback on every call). Now default = git.knownelement.com.
+- Gitea SSH (port 29418): untested from agent runtime (ssh blocked); HTTPS
+  path via tea + git credential helper works. Founder tests SSH if needed.
+- No redmine/discourse SERVER containers on this host (docker ps -a: none,
+  never were on ultix-streaming). Services are remote; local images are
+  on-demand CLI/MCP clients (redmine-cli, discourse-cli, *-mcp).
+- Credentials live in ~/.creds/*.env (mode 600) — never copy into git or
+  crossfeed. CTO vertical blocker "SoR creds on reachableceo" — creds exist
+  and work here; wiring them into CTO stack is a founder decision.
