Registration is load-bearing, not cosmetic: deploy-plan.py refuses any service it does not know, so SERVICE_ORDER + DANKCLAW_SERVICES are what let `--only` and `--auto` address the pair at all; the dispatch case in deploy-remote.sh runs it; the requirement in check_prerequisites gates a manual deploy; and the dispatch regex in deploy.sh's host-mode branch decides whether a changed path dispatches a service or falls through to "no service mapped" — an omission there is silent, which is exactly how the AGENTS.md deployer-registration law was earned. The deploy seeds /home/dank/Containers/open-notebook/env (0600) from the host env and refuses to start the pair while OPEN_NOTEBOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY or OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD is blank: without the key no provider credential saves and without the password the API — including the episode-audio route — is open to the LAN with no auth. A seeded file is never rewritten, so re-deploying cannot clobber a rotated key, which would silently make every stored credential undecryptable. SURREAL_PASS is derived from SURREAL_PASSWORD in the same write. The gate names paths that answer, not invented ones: the database is judged by its own container health status (/surreal is-ready, verified against the pinned digest) and the app by wait_for_health on /health at the published 5056 mapping — the route is upstream's and is on the auth middleware's exclude list, so it stays 200 after the password is set. 180 s covers Next.js build + startup and a degraded-but-listening first boot, matching the sibling LLM deploys. Both digest pins are checked against local storage before restart, because Pull=never means a missing image would otherwise surface as a unit stuck in "Start request queued" (the 203/EXEC trap's sibling). The interim episode directory is created before the app starts: a missing bind source makes podman create it as root-owned and the app's mkdir would then fail.

AI Disclosures:
- Slop rating: 2/5 - Actively using, actively de-slopping, repository mostly human owned, lacks formal process.
- Completeness: Unfinished, planning planned, no plan yet
- Datacenter model/spend: Less than $20 of Deepseek 4.1 Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash
- Local model: Qwen 3.8 Flash Next
slop rating of 2 or lower indicates human reading is a worthwhile exercise, and that Frank has read the code and knows the architecture.
slop rating of 2 indicates that while this project is human owned, no human contribution process exists and/or release is agentically driven.
The single repository for the two homelab servers: the Podman container stacks and the LLM inference fleet. One repo, one checkout per host, one deploy script.
2026-08-22: the former
vllmScriptsrepository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Deployment
See serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md
and serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/deployment.md. Run
./scripts/deploy.sh <dankclaw|dankserver> after committing changes. It
plans and deploys only the changed services. Use --service NAME for an
explicit single-service retry; inference is restarted only when its own files
(or the shared chat template) changed.
Knowledge Base
The serverAppConfigs-docs/ directory is an Obsidian vault. Start at
serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md. The LLM fleet knowledge base lives at
serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/index.md.
Testing
Run ./tests/run.sh before every push. See
serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Testing Policy.md.
