ultix-streaming optimization — tracking HUD

One table, updated in place at each checkpoint. States: done ✅ / doing 🔄 / blocked ⛔ / next ⏳

id	lane	state	item
OPT-1	guest	✅	recon: system + ukrrs fleet (REPORT §1)
OPT-2	guest	✅	REPORT.md + staged configs + questions-v1.md
OPT-3	host	✅	audit parsed → REPORT §8 (T7500, CPU2 empty, clean IOMMU, Q4000 skip)
OPT-4	host	⏳	#601 ~OCT 2026: 2× X5675 + 6× 16GB → 24T/192G (NFS outage for -02 first; USB3 reseat; q35/20c/128G). PRESUME 8 vCPU/48G until then
OPT-5	host	✅	one-shot landed + verified post-reboot; net multiqueue in qm config, activates at next VM start (bounce approved for tonight)
OPT-6	guest	✅	guest prep applied + verified (bbr, THP, slices, timers, noatime, daemon.json, autologin)
OPT-7	guest	⏳	#603: root growth MANUAL ONLY, GROW-ROOT-RUNBOOK.md, user-executed
OPT-8	repos	✅	PMO backpressure design note in ukrrs/docs/harness; code = ticketed
OPT-9	integ	⏳	#604: node_exporter svc + gateway pressure scrape (Q10)
OPT-10	integ	⏳	#605: k8s join (Q11, blocked by #601) + proxmox-ctl token (Q12); GPUs #606

Inbox (mid-task interrupts): none.

Decisions log (latest wins):

• 2026-08-31 (night): docs synced post-pass: REPORT v1.1 (status banner, per-item STATUS tags, §6/§8 truth), RUNBOOK amended for the Oct replan, all paths ~/optimize → ~/projects/ultix (repo moved). Human ruling: system idle tonight → multiqueue bounce approved for this session, after remaining tasks. Agent-stack teardown prepped as 6-remove-agent-stacks.sh (kills boot-time RCEO/TSG screen respawn + the 5-min supervisor self-heal; unit/launcher backups to removed-agent-stacks/; root also quits leftover root screen ukrrs-gateway-final, leaves 'boot' alone).
• 2026-08-31 (late): Redmine replan complete: #601 Oct window (due 10-31, High, version october-2026-window; Redmine API refuses start_date on update — Oct-1 start recorded in the note instead), NEW #608 cgroup_parent wiring (High; THE starvation fix on 8 vCPU), NEW #609 Fri 09-04 troubleshooting-only outage (USB SDR reseat + socket/PSU/BIOS checks; NO upgrades; host down → this VM auto-starts via onboot=1, gateway auto-recovers). #605/#606 noted. docs repo pushed (main 9eb324e).
• 2026-08-31 (eve): HARDWARE WINDOW → ~OCT 2026; presume 8 vCPU/48G operating values; cpuset reservation deferred → cgroup_parent wiring = the starvation fix; one VM-5111 reboot owed for multiqueue (5-activate-multiqueue.sh, human-timed; crush may roll OTHER VMs on pfv-tsys5 anytime).
• 2026-08-31 (eve): PUSH AS YOU GO standing permission (human monitors gitea/redmine/discourse, not ssh/crush). House rules updated + pushed (86d8565).
• 2026-08-31 16:5x: Redmine = record: perf pass + RCA filed as #602 (project 55, tracker Support, left New for human review); open items #601 (Fri window, Urgent, due 09-04) #603 root growth #604 metrics #605 k8s+proxmox (blocked by #601) #606 GPUs (relates #601). mred = docker exec wrapper (~/.local/bin/mred → mopac-cli-mred container).
• 2026-08-31 16:40: net multiqueue CLOSED: queues=4/2 written to live qm config via crush ssh (user authorized non-disruptive host mods); activates at next VM start; guest oneshot enables channels on that boot. Earlier silent no-op explained: the 15:59 run used a pre-fix script copy.
• 2026-08-31 16:3x: crush CAN ssh to the host from this workspace (old "hard-banned" note obsolete); still human-gated for disruptive ops.
• 2026-08-31 (post-reboot validation): prod gateway down at boot ROOT-CAUSED twice over: (a) port bind to tailscale IP lost the dockerd-vs-tailscaled race (docker never retries failed starts), (b) live-restore dropped the container's network endpoint (host resolver → gateway-db unresolvable → crash loop). Recovered via compose --force-recreate (healthy, mode=normal). Permanent fix staged: ukrrs-gateway-ensure unit, BOTH lanes, MUST be enabled before Friday's bounces.
• 2026-08-31: multiqueue host flags verified live (ROTA=0 + discard 1G on all 3 disks), but guest still runs 1 queue/NIC: ethtool not installed; 3-post-reboot-fixes.sh staged (installs ethtool + oneshot unit, sets 4/2 queues).
• 2026-08-31: mopac-demo/mcli fake containers left DOWN (restart=no, exited at first bounce); prometheus/harness daemons not deployed on this box (pre-existing; belongs to OPT-9).
• 2026-08-31: STORAGE OPS MANUAL ONLY: boot-time auto-grow service removed, qm resize removed from the one-shot, grow-root.sh deleted. Runbook = GROW-ROOT-RUNBOOK.md, every command typed by the human.
• 2026-08-31: KDE autologin into UNLOCKED always-alive session (Relogin=true); autolock OFF (instant Jump/iPad attach outranks lock). XFCE only if Sunshine capture disappoints post-GPU.
• 2026-08-31: streamlined to 1-guest-prep.sh + 2-host-one-shot.sh (one reboot wave; no post-reboot steps; no storage).
• 2026-08-31: constraint: host pfv-tsys5 NEVER reboots casually (NFS server for -02); Friday CPU swap needs a planned NFS outage first.
• 2026-08-31: GPUs are COMPUTE cards; Quadro 4000 skipped (Fermi: no NVENC, no kernel-6 driver, no modern CUDA); clean IOMMU groups verified.
• 2026-08-31: day/night = runtime-only cgroup flips 22:00/05:00; NO cpufreq driver exists host or guest.
• 2026-08-31: zram rejected; no docker data-root move; skip tuned (sysctl.d + units).
• 2026-08-31: second USB3 SDR card missing on host (only one Renesas visible); Friday reseat/check.
