A folder-rename pass ran on the media array with no journal anywhere: no
jsonl on the array, no bash history, no cron/timer/job artifact, no other
host ever authenticating. The door was GNOME Files mounting the array over
SFTP (gvfsd-sftp -> sftp-server as dank): rename() with no shell and no
journal, bumping only the renamed directory's ctime. Copyparty cannot do
this (its bind is ro at the mount) and the *arr stack has no route to the
array at all (no SMB, no NFS, mini asleep).
Two laws fall out for the prune pipeline: re-verify survivors by size
rather than by the path a stale artifact recorded, and Plex extras rows
naming a held path survive a second section pass.
The crypttab entry named the md RAID array UUID (61bd6eaf-...) where a luks
entry takes the LUKS container UUID (cd86c728-...), so
systemd-cryptsetup@entropy.service could never produce /dev/mapper/entropy and
the fstab entry could not resolve either; the volume only appeared when a
desktop session let udisks2 unlock it, which kept the broken boot path hidden
for a year. The keyfile was wrong as well: 27 bytes, i.e. the 26-character
passphrase plus a trailing newline, and cryptsetup hashes the file whole.
Records the host config as dankserver/host/{crypttab,fstab} (the dankclaw/host
precedent), rewrites the Entropy Volume page to own the chain, the UUID law and
the keyfile contract, and comments out the now-unmountable /dev/md0 line.
Proven on the host: /etc/{crypttab,fstab} byte-identical to the repo copies,
reboot into 7.0.0-42-generic mounts /mnt/entropy from /dev/mapper/entropy, all
12 containers returned, frank-archon back to 141 t/s (was 6.7 t/s on a wedged
amdgpu queue). ./tests/run.sh: ALL TESTS PASSED (749).
All in-repo path references (AGENTS.md, README, old scripts, report artifacts,
test code paths) rewritten in the same commit; focused-test map extended for
.gitignore, old/scripts/*, dankclaw/comfyui/*, and report/* per this repo's
own convention ('add one before committing'). Obsidian wikilinks are
title-based and unaffected.
