esh-pve-nas and esh-vm-db join esh-docker-vm on 4411:b105, at :50:55 and :50:60 respectively, each applied by the same prefix-deriving if-up.d hook so the last two groups read straight off the IPv4 address. Two obstacles are recorded because both will recur. The Proxmox node had link-local only despite every relevant sysctl appearing correct, because its bridge carries per-interface forwarding and the kernel ignores router advertisements on a forwarding interface unless accept_ra is explicitly two rather than one. The fix takes the advertised prefix while declining the default route, so the hypervisor gains an address without any change to how it routes; this was verified after applying, with the v6 default route count still at zero. The database VM refuses key authentication for the privileged accounts and its unprivileged login cannot escalate without a password, so the hook went in through the QEMU guest agent from the hypervisor, which executes as root inside the guest. The document notes the base64 indirection needed to get a multi-line script through intact.

Navigation map for the documentation tree. New session? Read
orientation.md first — it's the narrative overview
of the fleet, backup architecture, governing principles, and gotchas,
and it points at everything else.

What goes where
runbooks/— step-by-step ops procedures. Anything you'd reach for during an incident or while standing up new infrastructure. Examples: disaster recovery (blast-radius tiers + restoration steps), PBS deployment (9-phase rollout). New runbook → new file here.pfi/— PFI-specific reference material that's too narrow for the top-level CLAUDE.md but doesn't change incident response. AI model inventory, recommended inference settings, Matrix bridge config, Proxmox VM map. New stable reference → new file here.- Top-level (
docs/orientation.md,docs/README.md) — narrative guides about the workspace itself, not about specific infra.

Conventions
- Markdown, GitHub-flavored. CommonMark renders fine in most viewers.
- File names are lowercase-kebab-case, descriptive. No dates in filenames — git history covers that.
- One topic per file. If a file grows past ~500 lines, look for a natural split before adding more.
- No checked-in binaries or checksums. Build/release artifacts belong
in a build pipeline or
tools/, notdocs/.
