An infrastructure day with no training work, and the through-line is that
every fault was invisible to monitoring. NH3↔Anaheim had been crossing a
throttled DERP relay rather than a direct path for long enough to carry 78 GB;
`.internal` DNS was failing roughly one lookup in ten from two independent
causes; SearXNG had exactly one working general web engine. Nothing alarmed on
any of it. All three surfaced because tts-dev had a 1545 ms voice-loop budget
and chose to measure rather than adapt around the problem.
Also landed: althing v3.6.3, which makes hyphenated search work for the first
time on a fleet whose hostnames are nearly all hyphenated; FleetTools, a
capability index autoloaded by Claude, Codex and Grok from one symlinked file;
Miranda's Hermes plugin moved from a copy to a repo symlink; Worldtree's
env.sh secrets vaulted.
Six detail files. The in-flight section is rewritten and shrinks 142 lines to
64 — it opens on the one thing this session did NOT verify, lv-mccarthy's run
outcome, which was left untouched and must not be assumed good.
Two foot-guns recorded, both mine: the ESH egress experiment reverted on a
diagnosis the rollback itself falsified, and `!ENV` in searxng settings, which
has no constructor in that build and crash-looped the container ten times.
No archival this run. 165 of 169 dated entries are under the 14-day guard and
the remaining four all carry open deferred pointers, so the index stays over
the soft cap at 480 lines — an over-cap file that keeps live decisions beats a
scannable one that lost one.
