+# Fleet staging — 9 accounts, 2 hosts, one container per account (prod 0700 Mon)
+
+Morning sequence (Charles wires TSGCOO first, then iterate/explore/test):
+1. ROOT on each host: scripts/fleet/root-create-accounts.sh streaming|offstage
+2. Stage bundle to each account: make release in harness repo, tar repo+binary
+   as fleet-stage.tgz, scp/copy to ~/mopac/ of each account.
+3. AS each account: bash scripts/fleet/bootstrap-account.sh (edit ~/mopac/env
+   0600 first: keys from Bitwarden; long-term only BW access stays on disk).
+4. Verify: docker compose -p mopac-<user> ps; Redmine claims show
+   "claimed by <vertical>@<host>" (harness 530 landing tonight).
+
+Prereqs landing tonight: 529/528 turn pool, 530 Redmine-claim dispatch
+(race-tested), lanes: gitea/rest/discourse/imap clients.
