`leak_gate.py` scans `\b(Surface)\b`. Any character inserted inside a name defeats
that pattern outright, so a mangled occurrence is unrenameable by rename.py AND
unreportable by the gate. lv-mccarthy's 2026-09-17 tree passed at "0 of 75
renameable and 0 of 37 sub-threshold" while carrying 13 occurrences of Bell,
Chigurh, Moss, Toadvine and Glanton in all six copies:
B ell C higurh M oss T oadvine a small-caps drop cap kept as its own token
Toad-vine Glan-ton a print line-break hyphen kept by the extractor
Every visible occurrence HAD been renamed, which is what made the residue invisible
to a spot-read. Fixed at three levels, all three of which must stay:
build_corpus_mccarthy.py rules 4 and 5 repair the source text — 32 split initials
with a lowercase remainder, 5 hyphen-split names, each with an expected count so a
master change fails the build. Rule 4's letter class is consonants only: `I` opens
1,966 paragraphs, `A` 143 and `Y` 32 (Spanish `y`); folding any would corrupt 2,141
lines to fix 32.
leak_gate.py gains a separator-tolerant pass with its own positive and negative
controls, and it FAILS the gate. Validated against the pre-fix tree: reports all
five surfaces, exits 1. Its fragment filter is what makes it usable — a naive scan
returns 18 false positives on Hemingway (`God damn`, `I run`) against 3 real ones;
requiring one fragment to be a non-word of the corpus cleared all 18 and kept all 3.
The whole D1→D3 chain is reproduced byte-identically before and after, so the fix
is the only delta: 6 works, the entity map, the final map and all 36 copy files.
Cross-checked on the shipped corpora: lv-bronte is clean of this class, lv-hemingway
carries 3 (`Primi tivo`, `Pasionar ia`, `Chi cote`) and is live on fv-ml1.
Also in build_sft_pairs.py, both needed before lv-mccarthy's pairs:
DEFECT 4, hard-wrap reflow. Measured on the SHIPPED lv-bronte adapter, which emits
mid-sentence line breaks at 12.46 per 1k chars against 0.00 for its own base control
and 0.00 for every Hemingway arm. McCarthy is the mixed case — The Road is wrapped,
the other five works are not — so the corpus teaches the break as a coin flip. The
obvious fix (join every interior newline) corrupts 46 two-speaker exchanges whose
blank line was lost, and unmarked dialogue is the one thing this adapter exists to
learn; the rule splits on sentence-final punctuation instead and takes the cheaper
error. Self-targeting and off by default, so every shipped pair set is unchanged.
A `mccarthy` register, which names the punctuation deliberately: the eval drives the
base control arm with this same prompt, so tics left out of it are a surface trick
only the adapter can perform, and delta_cb is a character-bigram measure.
drop_leading_heading now also consumes Blood Meridian's dash-separated chapter
arguments — 131 paragraphs, 0 in every other work of all three corpora.
And a RUNBOOK, because the D1→D3 session recorded nothing and the chain had to be
recovered by rebuilding candidates and matching sha256 against the artifacts on disk.
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 |
| fv-ml1 restic | ✅ configs/restic/fv-ml1/ — 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.
