# althing v3 — the post office. The fleet's message bus.
#
# MOVED nh3-dev -> nh3-docker on 2026-08-28 (operator: "I want it on the docker
# machine — that was always the goal"). It was deployed to nh3-dev at the U9b flag
# day because the herald lives there; but the herald is the piece that MUST be
# host-local (it reads route files and pokes FIFOs), and the post office is
# explicitly the piece that is not.
#
# Three reasons the dev box was wrong:
#   - our own server table calls nh3-dev "not a Docker-stack host", and NH-site
#     non-GPU services belong here.
#   - nh3-dev had three OOM events in fourteen days with the interval HALVING
#     (2026-08-14, -26, -28), and the confirmed hog is Claude Code sessions at
#     5-18 GB each, which is that box's actual job.
#   - `mem_limit` protects the fleet FROM the post office. It does nothing to
#     protect the post office from the box: oom_score_adj is 0, so it was an
#     ordinary kill candidate, and the 08-28 sweep took althing-herald and
#     uvicorn. A sweep that takes the post office takes mail for all 73 handles.
#
# ⚠ MOVING THE DATA: `docker stop` does NOT checkpoint the WAL. Measured on the
# 08-28 move: post_office.db was 155 KB / mtime 15:09 while post_office.db-wal
# was 4.1 MB / mtime 16:56 — every recent message lived in the WAL. Copying the
# .db alone yields a database that opens cleanly, passes a smoke test, and is
# missing the day's mail. Stop the container, then
# `PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)` explicitly, then verify row counts on BOTH
# sides before deleting anything.
#
# Deploy:  scripts/deploy-stack.sh nh3-docker althing-post-office
# Image:   built from the althing repo's Dockerfile (vh/althing @ v3.0.0), pushed to
#          the gitea registry 2026-08-28. Rebuild + republish:
#
#            cd ~/development/althing
#            docker build -t gitea.phasefinal.com/claude-bot/althing-post-office:<ver> .
#            echo $(cat ~/.config/claude-bot/gitea-token) | \
#              docker login gitea.phasefinal.com -u claude-bot --password-stdin
#            docker push gitea.phasefinal.com/claude-bot/althing-post-office:<ver>
#
#          then update the digest below and redeploy. Supersedes the
#          `docker save | ssh | docker load` hand-carry the move originally used.
#
# ⚠ NAMESPACE IS `claude-bot`, NOT `vh`. claude-bot's token carries write:package
#   but package namespaces are owned: pushing to `vh/...` returns
#   `unauthorized: authentication required` AFTER a successful `docker login`, which
#   reads like a credential fault and is actually an ownership one. Publishing under
#   claude-bot's own namespace also satisfies the standing directive to stop reusing
#   the operator's personal credentials for infra work. Both hosts are logged in as
#   claude-bot; a new host needs that login before it can pull.

    # spelling of "everything" that gets past it. A bridged container cannot
    # satisfy that guard honestly: inside its own netns the only reachable bind
    # is a wildcard, and publishing the port would move access control from the
    # address the application checks to a `-p` flag it cannot see.
