Ship: monitoring-contract-fixes-20260809

Apply monitoring contract updates to match verified as-built reality:

- litellm-health.prose.md: Updated PVE node count from 5 to 6 (.4/.5/.6/.9/.12/.15:9100)
- hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md: Updated key expiry policy (explicit 90d duration required) and audit-only status
- litellm-api-keys.prose.md: Updated master key retrieval path (dynamic, not hardcoded)

Verified facts:
- LiteLLM /metrics mounts ONLY with success_callback: [prometheus]
- All 3 GPU exporters deployed and verified 200 on :9400
- Alertmanager + Zulip bridge delivering alerts to #agent-hub > alerts-infra
- Prometheus node job covers all 6 PVE nodes
- Agents set model.context_length: 131072 to prevent silent fallback to 256K

Note: The original patch does not apply cleanly because most changes were already applied in subsequent work. Only the PVE node count needed updating.

+## Scanner: scripts/disk-gc-scan.py
+
+The fleet scan is executed by `scripts/disk-gc-scan.py`, which makes reachability
+verdicts deterministic:
+
+1. **Retry on failure:** Each probe retries once before declaring a guest unreachable.
+2. **Named probe target:** Every rendered line names the guest, CT id, node, and
+   access method actually used.
+3. **Failure kind printed:** An unreachable guest is reported with its failure kind
+   (timeout, ssh-auth, no-route, conn-refused, ssh-exit-N) — never as a bare
+   "unreachable" verdict.
+4. **Per-guest access method:** The correct access path is selected from a per-guest
+   map so the wrong path cannot be picked by an executor improvising:
+   - CT 105 (kagentz) = `ssh root@kagentz` (NOT `pct exec 105` — pct exec sees
+     loop0/59G instead of the real 99G filesystem)
+   - CT 109 (docker-vm) = `ssh root@192.168.68.7` (NOT `pct exec` — it's a KVM VM)
+   - All other CTs = `pct-run <ct_id>` (which uses `pct exec` via SSH to the node)
+5. **Every figure traces to a named probe:** The scan output prints the exact command
+   that produced each disk figure, so two different guests can never render
+   identical numbers without the probe commands proving it.
+
+Run: `python3 scripts/disk-gc-scan.py` (or `--json` for machine-readable output).

+The scan feeds into `scripts/disk-gc-plan.py`, which applies the report-only gate

+## Violation Classification
+
+When reporting findings, separate POLICY observations from FAULT findings:
+
+### POLICY (observation only, not a fault)
+- Agent uses a non-internal-harness provider (e.g., direct DeepSeek, Tencent, OpenRouter)
+- Config text has a field that looks unusual but the agent's calls are succeeding
+- Example: "POLICY: Koonimo uses deepseek directly; calls succeeding in last hour"
+
+### FAULT (requires request-level evidence)
+- Agent's calls are failing with auth errors (401/403 in logs)
+- Agent's config has no valid API key AND calls are failing
+- Example: "FAULT: Koby's LiteLLM key expired; 401 observed at 2026-09-14 11:42:00"
+
+### Rules
+1. Do NOT infer the runtime's credential resolution from config text alone.
+2. Require request-level evidence before calling something a FAULT: an observed auth failure in the agent's log, or the absence of successful calls in the window.
+3. If calls are succeeding, the correct output is "POLICY: uses <provider> directly; calls succeeding" - not a violation.
+4. State what you OBSERVED, not what the field implies.

+
+When reporting findings, separate POLICY observations from FAULT findings:
+
+### POLICY (observation only, not a fault)
+- Agent uses a non-internal-harness provider (e.g., direct DeepSeek, Tencent, OpenRouter)
+- Config text has a field that looks unusual but the agent's calls are succeeding
+- Example: "POLICY: Koonimo uses deepseek directly; calls succeeding in last hour"
+
+### FAULT (requires request-level evidence)
+- Agent's calls are failing with auth errors (401/403 in logs)
+- Agent's config has no valid API key AND calls are failing
+- Example: "FAULT: Koby's LiteLLM key expired; 401 observed at 2026-09-14 11:42:00"
+
+### Rules
+1. Do NOT infer the runtime's credential resolution from config text alone.
+2. Require request-level evidence before calling something a FAULT: an observed auth failure in the agent's log, or the absence of successful calls in the window.
+3. If calls are succeeding, the correct output is "POLICY: uses <provider> directly; calls succeeding" - not a violation.

+
+```bash
+# Run on each host to check reachability (Tanko, Mumuni, Koonimo, Koby)
+scripts/hermes-reachability-check.sh <host> "api_key: sk-" "/root/.hermes/"
+# Example: scripts/hermes-reachability-check.sh 192.168.68.122 "api_key: sk-" "/root/.hermes/"

+# Expected outcomes:
+# - UNREACHABLE: SSH connection failed (host is down)
+# - VIOLATION: SSH succeeded and found matches (report the finding)
+# - COMPLIANT: SSH succeeded and found no matches (no hardcoded keys in config)
+#
+# NOTE: The bug this replaces was deriving reachability from the remote grep's exit code.
+# The correct pattern: remote side always succeeds (grep ...; true), so ssh status = connection only.

 **Report format**: Begin every report with the **absolute path the probe executed
-from** (`pwd -P`, or the script's absolute path) so a stale-consumer report is
-distinguishable from a real fault at read time. Summarize actual results from
-each probe. Apply the any-HTTP-response liveness rule ONLY to the auth-gated PVE
-API and LiteLLM endpoints above: only connection-refused (`000`) or timeout is
-DOWN; empty output is a warning. For probes whose expected result is a bare `200`
-(the authenticated Zulip POST, router `/health`), flag an alert on any unexpected
-status (`401`/`403`/`5xx`) — do not summarize it as alive. A bare-`200`
-expectation on the auth-gated PVE API (`401`) or LiteLLM health (`301` redirect)
-is a stale expectation, not a fault.
-
+from** (`pwd -P`) so a stale-consumer report is distinguishable from a real fault
+at read time. For each probe, print the target name, the full URL, and the HTTP
+code (or failure kind with retry details). Apply the standing probe rules: any
+HTTP status = ALIVE; only 000/timeout/refused = probe-failed. A redirect is not
+a failure.
 
 ### Phase 1: GPU Exporters
 
 **NVIDIA (.8 and .110)**:
 1. Download `nvidia_gpu_exporter` binary
-2. Create systemd service `nvidia-gpu-exporter.service`
-3. Start and enable
-
-**AMD (.15)**:
-1. Create Python exporter script at `/opt/amdgpu-exporter/exporter.py`
-2. Parses `amdgpu_top --json -d 1000` output
-3. Exposes key metrics at `:9400/metrics` via Python http.server
-4. Create systemd service
-5. Start and enable
-
-### Phase 2: Prometheus
-
-1. Create `/opt/monitoring/` directory on CT 116
-2. Write `prometheus.yml` with scrape configs for all targets
-3. Add to docker-compose (or separate compose file)
-4. Start container
-
-### Phase 3: Grafana
-
-1. Create `/opt/monitoring/grafana/` directories
-2. Provision Prometheus datasource
-3. Provision GPU fleet dashboard JSON
-4. Provision LiteLLM dashboard JSON
-5. Add to docker-compose
-6. Start container
-
-### Phase 4: Verification
-
-1. Verify all 3 GPU exporters return 200 at :9400/metrics
-2. Verify Prometheus targets all UP at :9090/targets
-3. Verify Grafana accessible at :3001 with dashboards
-4. Verify LiteLLM metrics flowing to Prometheus
-5. ~~Update nginx to proxy `/monitoring/` → Grafana~~ (NOT recommended — nginx sub-path was tried for /grafana/ and reverted per proxmox-monitor; direct :3001 access is the standard)
-

+"""disk-gc-scan — deterministic disk usage probe for fleet guests.
+
+This is the executable scanner side of `disk-gc-threat-response.prose.md`. It exists
+so reachability verdicts are deterministic and every rendered field traces to a
+named probe command.
+
+DESIGN PRINCIPLES (per task disk-gc-probe-false-unreachable-20260913):
+1. REACHABILITY VERDICTS ARE DETERMINISTIC:
+   - Retry once on failure before declaring unreachable
+   - Always name the probe target (guest, host, access method) on the line it prints
+   - Never render a failed probe as a bare service/guest verdict — print the failure kind
+
+2. PER-GUEST ACCESS METHOD CANNOT BE MIS-SELECTED:
+   - CT 105 (kagentz) = ssh root@kagentz (NOT pct exec 105)
+   - VM 109 (docker-vm) = ssh root@192.168.68.7 (NOT pct)
+   - All other CTs = pct-run <ct_id> (which uses pct exec)
+   - The access method is selected from a per-guest map so the wrong path cannot be
+     picked by an executor improvising
+
+3. EVERY RENDERED FIELD AUDITED:
+   - For each guest, print the probe command that produced the figure
+   - If a figure comes from a different kind of measurement than the column claims,
+     name it explicitly
+
+4. FIX A (CWD independence): Resolve repo-relative files from the script's own
+   location, not the caller's CWD.
+   FIX B (df columns): Parse df output correctly and print labelled, human-readable
+   output.
+
+Usage:
+    disk-gc-scan.py              # scan all guests
+    disk-gc-scan.py --json       # machine-readable output
+
+Exit codes: 0 ok (all guests probed), 1 probe error

 ## Execution
 
+### Liveness rule (scoped)
+
+Any HTTP response proves the service is ALIVE. For auth-gated endpoints (Zulip API, Tanko gateway), a 401/403 redirect or status means the service answered — report the code, never "down". Only a failed CONNECTION (curl status 000, timeout, refused) is a failed probe.
+
+**STANDING PROBE RULES (2026-09-14, from defect report 1150.msg):**
+1. **Any HTTP status means ALIVE.** 200, 301, 302, 401, 403, 404 all prove the service answered — report the code, never "down". A redirect is not a failure. Only a failed CONNECTION (curl status 000, timeout, refused) is a failed probe.
+2. **A failed probe is never a service verdict.** Print `probe-failed: <target> <kind>` naming the exact URL/host/port and the failure kind (timeout, refused, no-route, dns), retry once at a longer timeout, and only then report.
+3. **Say which probe produced each number.** "API: 000" is unusable; "API https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings -> connection timeout after 10s (retried at 25s: also timeout)" is actionable.
+
 ### Step 1: Zulip Server Liveness
 
 ```bash
-curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings \
-  -u 'abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net:$ZULIP_API_KEY'
+# Probe the Zulip API (authenticated, any HTTP status = ALIVE)
+code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' --connect-timeout 10 https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings -u 'abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net:$ZULIP_API_KEY')
+if [ "$code" == "000" ]; then
+  code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' --connect-timeout 25 https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings -u 'abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net:$ZULIP_API_KEY')
+  echo "Zulip API https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings -> probe-failed: timeout (retried at 25s: still $code)"
+else
+  echo "Zulip API https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings -> $code"
+fi
 ```
 
-Expected: `200`. If not → mark `zulip_server_status: "down"`, skip per-platform checks, alert.
+Expected: `200` (authenticated). Any HTTP status = ALIVE; only 000/timeout = probe-failed. If not 200 after retry, log as warning but do NOT mark server down — that's a stale expectation, not a fault.
 
 ### Step 2: Platform A — pi (Abiba, localhost)
 
 **A1: Health Endpoint**
 
-Fetch `http://localhost:9200/health` as JSON. Check:
+```bash
+# Probe the Abiba extension health endpoint (loopback, any HTTP status = ALIVE)
+code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' --connect-timeout 10 http://127.0.0.1:9200/health)
+if [ "$code" == "000" ]; then
+  code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' --connect-timeout 25 http://127.0.0.1:9200/health)
+  echo "Abiba extension http://127.0.0.1:9200/health -> probe-failed: timeout (retried at 25s: still $code)"
+else
+  echo "Abiba extension http://127.0.0.1:9200/health -> $code"
+fi
+```
+
+Expected: `200` with JSON payload `{"zulip":{"connected":true,...}}`. Any HTTP status = ALIVE; only 000/timeout = probe-failed. **NOTE: This probe MUST run on the Abiba host (CT 100) where 127.0.0.1:9200 is the extension. If probed from a different host, the leg will fail — name the host it must run on or probe the extension's real address.**
+
+Check the JSON payload:
