Operator ruling: remove the groups and see what breaks. Nothing did. ana-docker llmuser sudo+docker -> none; irv-ml1 llmuser sudo -> none (it was never in docker there). 45 containers on ana-docker and 18 on irv-ml1 all still running with zero unhealthy, and lora-training-worker stayed active. Extended to irv-ml1 because it is the same account with the same defect and gpasswd -a reverses it in one command; ana-docker was only the host the audit happened to run against first. The durable lesson is why it was safe, and it is a measurement trap rather than a permissions one. reported 19 processes on ana-docker and 3 on irv-ml1, which reads as a busy service account. Nearly all of them were CONTAINER processes whose in-image UID is 1001 and therefore collides with llmuser on the host — /proc/<pid>/cgroup shows docker-*.scope. A container's runtime UID is unrelated to host group membership, so the groups were buying those workloads nothing. The single real host workload sets User=/Group= explicitly through systemd, which does not consult the sudo group either. Recorded in the conventions doc so the next audit checks the cgroup before concluding a host account is busy — otherwise a UID collision blocks a cleanup that carries no risk.

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/.
