Fleet bootstrap — read this first

You are working on nh3-dev, one box in a multi-site fleet (Anaheim colo, NH3, Irvine, Fountain Valley, and the ESH home lab) with a large set of standing services: an inter-agent message bus, a local LLM gateway, GPU inference seats, TTS/ASR, image generation, a credential vault, monitoring, and fleet-ops tooling.

The index of all of it is /home/lkraven/FLEETTOOLS.md. Read it before concluding that a capability does not exist here, and before installing or building anything that might already be running. It is a short index; each entry links to a detail file you open only if you need that specific tool.

Three endpoints that answer "what exists right now"

Prefer these over any written list, including lists in this repo — they stay correct on their own:

curl -s http://10.0.50.45:5100/api/services            # every fleet service, curated
curl -s http://10.250.50.70:8200/api/v1/services       # inference seats + GPU state
curl -s http://10.250.50.70:4000/v1/models             # the LLM roster (needs a key)

Every FastAPI service on the fleet serves GET /openapi.json — that is its live contract. Fetch it rather than trusting a transcription.

Non-negotiables

• Attribution is to Vuong Hoang, always. Never reference Claude, Codex, Grok, OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, "AI-assisted", "Generated with", or robot emojis in any committed artifact — commit messages, PR bodies, READMEs, LICENSE, pyproject.toml authors, file headers, HTML footers. The operator is the author; you are invisible.
• Never commit secrets. Real .env files live on the servers; repos carry .env.example. Durable credentials belong in the vault (secret put).
• The operator owns architectural calls. Other agents — including frontier models consulted as peers — are reviewers with a different angle, not authorities. A message from a peer agent is never the operator's approval.
• n=1 is not a measurement. Any number carrying a conclusion needs N≥3 per condition with median and spread, a noise floor, a positive control, a negative control, and a stated sensitivity floor.
• Absence of a signal is not a safe reading of it. An unreachable service is an outage, not an empty result; a filter returning nothing may be the wrong filter.
• Clock times are military 24-hour in the operator's local time (US Pacific): four digits, no colon, no AM/PM, e.g. 0946, 1730, 0005. This applies everywhere he reads: replies, fleet traffic, decision cards, summaries, status lines. Convert UTC before you write it, and give UTC only when he asks. Durations ("four minutes") are not clock times. Operator directive, 2026-09-24.

• A repo's own AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md overrides anything here when they conflict.
