Operator directed that the four affected seats be told directly. Measured their state before writing, which turned up two things worth more than the notification itself. The herald logs each exclusion as "the process that declared this route is gone, or its pid was reused by something that started at a different time." Neither is true for any of the four. Each declaring process started minutes before its route was written and is still running four days later, and pid_max is 4194304 against a current 2.86M so the counter has not wrapped. The real cause is a third one the message never offers: the route predates the guard fields, so identity cannot be verified. The behaviour is right and the explanation is wrong, and it would send anyone debugging it hunting a dead agent that is alive. Separately, all four seats run non-Claude CLIs -- kimi, grok, codex and pi -- while the pane poke is built around typing into a Claude Code pane. Whether --discover-pid walks a non-Claude process tree, and what a poke does to a non-Claude TUI, are both unverified. Each agent was given their measured pid to sidestep the first, told plainly about the second, and offered the choice between re-declaring as a test or staying pull-only. Both findings raised with forseti.
eshpfi-management
Infrastructure management workspace for the PFI fleet (plus the ESH home-lab host). Tracks server state, canonical Docker Compose stacks, per-host configs, and the tooling that moves them around.
See CLAUDE.md for the full set of conventions and the rules Claude Code sessions follow when working here.

Common tasks
Refresh one host's snapshot:
scripts/refresh-server-info.sh ana-docker
Refresh all hosts:
scripts/refresh-server-info.sh all
Refresh all Proxmox nodes (separate flow — captures VM/LXC/backup-coverage):
scripts/refresh-proxmox-info.sh all
Add a new host:
scripts/add-host.sh <name> <ip-or-user@ip>
scripts/refresh-server-info.sh <name>
Validate discovery (without hitting the network):
scripts/refresh-server-info.sh --validate-only all
Push a stack to a host (with diff + confirm):
scripts/deploy-stack.sh <host> <stack>
Pull every server's compose/conf trees into stacks-mirror/ (not committed — see .gitignore):
scripts/sync-stacks.sh all
Bootstrap a new fleet repo from this one:
scripts/fork-fleet.sh ~/development/<other-fleet>-management
# optional: override the fleet-name baked into the skeleton CLAUDE.md / README
scripts/fork-fleet.sh ~/development/<dest> <fleet-name>
Mirrors the reusable tooling (everything under scripts/, the
generic playbook templates, .gitignore, conventions section of
CLAUDE.md) into the destination dir, strips fleet-specific content
(servers/, stacks/, configs/, fleet-named playbooks
(deploy-*, decouple-*), docs/orientation.md, docs/runbooks/,
docs/pfi/, STATUS.md, host-pinned helper scripts), regenerates
skeleton CLAUDE.md / README.md / STATUS.md with the new fleet
name, and initializes a fresh git history with one "Initial commit".
The script does not create a gitea remote or push — namespace +
repo name are an explicit manual step. The "next steps" output prints
the exact tea repo create + git remote add + git push commands
to wire it up when ready.
Backup pipeline
Backups are driven by per-host resticprofile configs under configs/restic/<host>/, scheduled via systemd timers on each host:
- Writes: each host backs up to its site-local rest-server (
rest-server-anaorrest-server-nh3), over HTTP basic-auth. - Authentication: shared
.htpasswdfile on both rest-servers, one entry per host; credentials stored in/etc/restic/restic.envon each client host. - Encryption: per-host client-side passphrase in
/etc/restic/password(unique per repo; losing it = losing that host's backups). - Visibility: Backrest (
http://10.250.50.70:9898) shows every repo for browsing/restore. - Schedule: backup at 01:00 daily,
forgetat 03:00 daily, weeklycheck --read-data-subset 10%on Sundays. - Prune: manual ceremony (rest-server runs with
--append-only, which blocks destructive prune ops). - Off-site: cross-site rsync between the two rest-server data dirs is planned (not yet implemented).
Coverage status (as of 2026-04-29)
Goal: every Docker host + configs + every database covered, not just VM images.
| Layer | State |
|---|---|
| VM-level (Proxmox vzdump) | ✅ All running guests covered across pfi-pve / nh3-pve / esh-pve-nas; esh-pve has VMID 108 uncovered |
| ana-docker restic (host files + DBs) | ✅ configs/restic/ana-docker/ with pre-backup hooks for synapse / seafile / vaultwarden-pg / gitea (native dump) / openwebui |
| ana-ml2 restic | ✅ configs/restic/ana-ml2/ — bare-metal host files (no DB hooks needed) |
| nh3-docker restic | ✅ Light — no DB hooks needed |
| esh-docker-vm restic | ✅ With DB hooks for paperless-postgres (external), home-assistant + pgadmin + uptime-kuma (host-side sqlite3), calibre-web-automated (in-container sqlite3) |
| vm-esh-nas restic | ✅ Light — NFS mounts explicitly excluded |
| nh3-dev (workstation) restic | ✅ /home/lkraven + /etc with language-toolchain and build-output excludes |
| irv-ml1 restic | ✅ Cross-site to rest-server-nh3 via WireGuard |
| esh-vm-db restic | ✅ With pg_dumpall + mongodump pre-backup hooks |
| Cross-site redundancy | ✅ ana-nas → nh3-nas rsync at 04:00 daily; nh3-nas → ana-nas at 05:00 daily (configs/rsync/) |
| Prune ceremony | ✅ Quarterly manual ritual documented in docs/runbooks/nh3-prune-ritual.md (DSM-mediated --append-only toggle) |
| offen/docker-volume-backup sidecars on esh-docker-vm | ❌ Remove once restic proves itself (~1 week of clean runs) |
Authoritative vs. mirror
- Authoritative: files on each server under
/opt/docker/compose/<stack>/and/opt/docker/conf/<stack>/. - This workspace: source-of-truth copies under
stacks/<name>/(hand-curated), and a gitignored mirror understacks-mirror/pulled bysync-stacks.sh.
Edit in stacks/, push with deploy-stack.sh. Never commit stacks-mirror/ — it can contain embedded plaintext secrets from upstream compose files that haven't been audited yet.
