docs(alloy): document the root journal-read cutover
Alloy page rewritten to the shipped root design (why root, the two mounts that make it work, deploy-pending status); Observability current state marks the log pipeline fixed-in-code, awaiting deploy.

installed from `shared/grafana/provisioning/`. The Loki datasource is how
|
||||
you read logs: Loki has no web UI of its own, so Grafana Explore is the

human surface (the guarded `loki.franksdank.cloud` vhost serves only the API).
|

* **Logs: configured, empty.** Alloy ships zero lines and Loki holds zero
|
||||
streams (`GET /loki/api/v1/labels` returns no label names; no chunk files on
|
||||
disk). The cause is source-side access, now proven, not a config bug: a
|
||||
rootless container cannot read the journal files (`system.journal` is
|
||||
`root:systemd-journal 0640`/`adm` and a rootless read of it returns DENIED),
|
||||
and the container-log globs point at a root-storage path that does not exist
|
||||
under rootless. Closing it is a permission/architecture decision, not an
|
||||
edit — see [[Alloy]] → Delivery state and [[Loki]] → Contents.
|

* **Logs: fixed in code, awaiting deploy.** The pipeline shipped nothing because
|
||||
a rootless Alloy cannot read the `0640` journal files, and the container-log
|
||||
globs point at a root-storage layout that does not exist here. The fix is built
|
||||
and tested in-repo (2026-10-20): Alloy is now a **root system service on
|
||||
`Network=host`**, reading `system.journal` + `user-*.journal` and pushing to
|
||||
Loki's `127.0.0.1:3100` loopback publish — a throwaway root probe read 31,825
|
||||
lines and pushed 26,966 with zero drops. The **live** instance is still the old
|
||||
rootless unit until `deploy.sh dankclaw --service alloy` runs. Detail in
