- New Level 1 fix 4: archive-suggested stale nodes are archived outright via one
updateNode call (description -> '[ARCHIVED] ' + metadata state=archived).
The [REVIEW: archive] tag is retired.
- Fix 3 now tags refresh-suggested (living) nodes only; those are still escalated.
- Corrected the SSH claim: updateNode DOES accept state transitions and bumps
updated_at (verified 2026-09-11 archiving 7 nodes: #61#373#388#465#475#526#1476).
- Level 2 escalation 1 rescoped to refresh-suggested nodes.
- Checks section: any remaining [REVIEW: archive] means fix 4 was skipped.
Digest-pinned images (image: repo@sha256:...) are invisible to 'docker compose
pull' — the pin re-pulls the same digest forever, so new releases never appear.
Verified 2026-09-10: audiobookshelf ran 2.34.0 for 7 weeks despite weekly pulls;
un-pinned to :latest, now 2.36.0 (HTTP 200). Dockhand stack (also pinned) was
removed 2026-09-10 as unused (user decision). Weekly task qSOOVzsU now sweeps
for digest pins every run and flags them for user-approved un-pinning.
Captain ruling 2026-09-10: Mumuni moved off this host onto her own container
(kagentz CT 105 on minipve, 192.168.68.14, dedicated `hermes` user) and is
monitored from her side. This host must not monitor anything Mumuni.
The stale probes fired false alerts repeatedly:
* scripts/zulip-monitor.sh ssh'd to root@192.168.68.24 for the
decommissioned deployment's ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json, read "unknown"
on every run, and posted a 🔴 "Mumuni (Hermes) Zulip state: unknown" DM +
#agent-hub stream alert each cycle.
* scripts/daily-infra-report.py published a matching "mumuni:unknown" row in
every digest.
Changes:
* zulip-monitor.sh: delete the "Platform B: Hermes (Mumuni)" leg and its
notify; keep the Zulip-server, Platform A pi/Abiba (bridge), Platform B
Tanko and Platform C Agent Zero legs. A comment records why the leg is
retired so it is not re-added. Also fixes SC2155 so shellcheck is clean.
* daily-infra-report.py: delete the .24 ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json agent
probe, its hermes --version probe, and the now-dead mumuni render branch.
Abiba (CT 100, its own .24 address) and Tanko legs unchanged; the PVE API
token name is untouched.
* zulip-health.prose.md (v3.1.0): drop the Mumuni-only B4 gateway-process,
B5 heartbeat and B6 response-delivery steps and the stale 192.168.68.24
references; state explicitly that Mumuni is not monitored from this host.
Tanko/Agent-Zero/bridge steps retained.
* agent-health-check.py: correct the v2 changelog roster comment that still
placed mumuni at .24/CT100. No behavior change — the mumuni probe was
already absent from the AGENTS dict; v5 changelog notes the correction.
Tests: tests/test_mumuni_monitor_removal.py pins the removal structurally and
behaviorally — the shipped zulip-monitor.sh is run in a sandbox (only its LOG
constant rewritten) with stub ssh/curl on PATH; the ssh stub records every
target host, so "never reaches .24" and "no Mumuni notify even on the alert
path" are asserted from observed behavior. A mutation check (re-inject the old
leg) fails the suite, so the guarantee is not vacuous.
Second probe-drift correction pass after #65/#66/#68. All four legs were stale
consumer expectations, not live faults.
1. scripts/agent-health-check.py (v4)
- abiba declared pi-only runtime (harness purge): Hermes-era gateway, config
and wrapper legs are skipped instead of failing.
- koby declared report_only (captain ruling 2026-08-17, Rule 17): every koby
leg is detected and reported, never counted as a fleet failure or repaired.
- koby's CT 111 mapping corrected to storepve (.6); the old amdpve mapping
made `pct status 111` fail and read as ct-unreachable.
- wrapper check no longer FAILs .env-based wrappers that legitimately never
invoke infisical (koonimo).
- keys load in main() (load_agent_keys) so the module is importable/testable.
- every run prints absolute execution provenance (script + cwd), in the header
and in --json.
Before: 6 FAILURE(S). After: 0 failures, koby reported read-only.
2. infrastructure-monitoring.prose.md
- PVE API probe repointed from CT 116 (no pveproxy, 000) to the five real
nodes on https://<node>:8006/api2/json/version, all 401 = alive.
- any-HTTP-response liveness rule added (401/3xx alive; 000/timeout = DOWN).
- LiteLLM health documented as 301 -> /litellm/health/liveliness, not bare 200.
3. gpu-monitor.prose.md
- GPU health probes on :8080 (or router /health/unified); bare port 80 on a
GPU host is forbidden (no listener -> false DEGRADED).
- router /health/unified 301 -> /gpu/gpu-data documented as alive.
- port-discipline + liveness rule + direct-fallback execution step.
4. Report provenance (all contracts)
- docs/AUTHORING-GUIDE.md documents the rule; scripts/prose-lint.sh enforces
that any **Report format** contract states an absolute path (pwd -P).
- provenance added to gpu-monitor, infrastructure-monitoring, proxmox-monitor.
Tests: tests/test_probe_drift.py (23 passed); prose-lint.sh clean + shellcheck
clean; CI frontmatter validation passes. Evidence with per-leg before/after and
absolute paths: docs/probe-drift-round2-evidence.md.
The monitor's Abiba leg parsed the :9200/health payload at the top level
(d.get('connected',False)) while the pi Zulip extension serves connection
state NESTED at zulip.connected / zulip.last_error (verified against the
extension's startHealthServer handler and the live endpoint). PI_CONNECTED
was therefore always False and every run took the DISCONNECTED path,
restarting a healthy bot: pm2 restarts=8 with the process created
2026-09-09T09:35:09Z, four ❌ Abiba verdicts today (04:23/05:35/06:55/09:35
UTC) and zero ✅, while the Zulip server answered HTTP 200 and the bot kept
heartbeating. The watchdog was the fault, not the connection.
Changes (Abiba leg only; every other leg byte-identical):
- Read the real nested shape: zulip.connected, zulip.last_error and
zulip.messages_processed. The old retry_count branch is DROPPED — the
payload exposes no retry counter (the extension keeps retryCount internal
and never serialises it), so the branch is fabricated and cannot stay.
- Fail-safe restart decision: a fetch error (HTTP 000), non-2xx response,
empty/unparseable body, or payload missing a boolean zulip.connected is a
clearly-labelled PROBE FAILURE (🟠 alert + ⚠️ log line naming reason and
HTTP code) and NEVER calls pm2 restart. pm2 restart runs only on
affirmative zulip.connected=false (🔴/❌ path unchanged in wording).
connected=true with last_error keeps the degraded 🟡 warn-no-restart path.
Regression test (new tests/zulip-monitor-abiba.sh, 36 checks): extracts the
real Abiba leg from between the # -- abiba-leg-start/-end markers in the
shipped script and executes it verbatim with stubbed curl/notify/pm2 against
fixtures of the real payload shape — asserts connected=true → no restart,
connected=false → restart, and empty/garbage/missing-key/non-boolean/HTTP
000/HTTP 500 bodies → probe-failure alert with zero restarts. The suite
fails loudly on the pre-fix base and on a marker-intact top-level-parse
variant, so this class of bug cannot return silently.
The #agent-hub / zulip-health stream post in notify() encoded content with
python quote(str()) (always empty), so every stream alert posted empty
content and Zulip rejected it silently behind '|| true'. The merged body
also used backslash-escaped ampersands inside double quotes, which curl
transmits literally (type=stream\ -> Zulip 400 'Invalid type').
Stream post now percent-encodes the real message text by piping it through
the encoder (locale-proof: quote_from_bytes on stdin.buffer), uses plain &
separators, and on failure appends one WARN line to the monitor log with
the curl exit status instead of silently swallowing it. Delivery failure
stays non-fatal and unretried. DM path, probes, alive rule, exit codes and
log format unchanged.
The no-mistakes document step had auto-updated the .8 systemd unit name
(llama-server -> llama-chat-api.service) in gpu-fleet.prose.md and
infrastructure-control.prose.md. Those contracts are co-gated with another
agent and cannot be amended inside a script-scope task (firstmate decision
2026-09-08, key prose-doc-step-scope); the unit-name doc sync is separate
follow-up work. This restores both files to their origin/master content.
The litellm-self-heal.prose.md agent-health-check v3/env.sh description
update (same document commit) is intentional and kept.
- GPU unit repoint verified live 2026-09-08: .8 rtx3090 probes
llama-chat-api.service (stale llama-server unit read inactive -> false
UNREACHABLE for a healthy process); .110 keeps llama-server.service
(ocu-llm VM), .15 keeps strix-server.service. is-active no longer
swallowed as SSH failure (|| true).
- check_agents: bind pid before the summary f-string so the non-report-only
path (abiba/koonimo) no longer raises UnboundLocalError (line 305 crash).
- abiba key leg: read LITELLM_API_KEY from /root/.pi/agent/env.sh (#735
moved creds out of shared /root/.bashrc); 'abiba NO KEY' gone on healthy
setup.
Weekly Sunday 03:00 America/New_York run is now implemented as Agent Zero
scheduled task 'weekly-fleet-docker-update' (qSOOVzsU) with built-in
post-update service verification and old-image pruning.
Docker Stats and PVE Exporter are bound to 127.0.0.1 (localhost-only), not 0.0.0.0.
They must be probed from .116 via SSH. Prometheus and Grafana remain 0.0.0.0 (LAN-reachable).
Fixes false alarm from remote probe showing connection-refused (by design for localhost binds).
Root cause of the 2026-09-06 incident: 157 client-abandoned 408s against a
backend that was succeeding at 20-70s/call once clients stopped giving up.
Measured grounding: syslog-auto 28.8s avg / 25.4s TTFT over 888 calls;
nginx already allows 600s (Rule 5); the gap was entirely client-side.
Values: >=300s primary path, >=120s gpu-dense delegation, 2 retries with
15s/45s backoff, identified probes at 30s/hourly, batch jobs chunked +
day-scheduled. Verified live: Prometheus metrics, 0.56s syslog-auto probe,
gpu-fleet /health/unified topology.
