- `[2026-07-15]` **esh-docker-vm NFS fstab fix = `x-systemd.before=docker.service`** (the prior `After=remote-fs.target` drop-in was silently defeated by `nofail`). Reached only after a REBOOT (D-state phantom containers uptime-kuma + paperless-web that no `docker`/`ctr`/daemon-restart could clear). Committed `21d9a07` + playbook updated. See Tried and abandoned.
