Bundle Change Log

2026-09-14

• Creation: Hermes-WebUI — new hermes-webui compose service on Dankclaw (the Hermex server): runs hermes-webui's bootstrap.py --foreground in the agent image, shares /home/dank/hermes-data with the gateway (identical rootless Podman uid mapping), publishes 127.0.0.1:8787 only, password-gated via HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD in the host .env.
• /dankclaw/compose.yaml, /dankclaw/.env.example — service definition and password placeholder; container-internal bind is 0.0.0.0 (Podman's port forwarder dials the bridge IP) while the host-side publish stays loopback so the SSH tunnel is the sole ingress.
• /scripts/deploy-plan.py, /scripts/deploy.sh, /scripts/deploy-remote.sh — hermes-webui registered as an isolated Dankclaw service in all three inventories; planner narrows edits to its compose block only.
• /tests/hermes_webui.bats — new seam: foreground entrypoint, loopback publish + auth, shared volume, /health healthcheck, env placeholder, planner narrowing (hermetic fixture repo), deployer dispatch.
• Remote access pattern documented: iPhone Termius local forward 127.0.0.1:8787 -> 127.0.0.1:8787 over the existing router port forward to Dankclaw :22; Hermex points at http://localhost:8787. No Tailscale, no Cloudflare.

• /dankclaw/Caddyfile — Both Plex vhosts now proxy to PMS over a TLS upstream (insecure_skip_verify); PMS drops plain-HTTP connections from non-loopback sources, which produced empty-body 502s.
• /docs/Infrastructure/Caddy.md — Documented the Plex TLS-upstream requirement and the /web/ vs / distinction.
• /tests/caddyfile.bats — Added a test pinning the TLS upstream transport on both Plex vhosts.
• /docs/Dankclaw/Gitea.md — Documented migration of Gitea web proxy ownership to canonical Caddy and retirement of the standalone proxy.
• /docs/Dankclaw/Dankclaw Stack.md — Updated boot-persistence and Caddy deployment descriptions for the two-unit Gitea stack.
• /docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md — Replaced the split-proxy safety description with the canonical Caddy ownership model.
• /dankclaw/gitea/quadlet/gitea-caddy.container — Retired the standalone Gitea Caddy Quadlet; deployment stages any live copy into home trash.
• /scripts/deploy-plan.py — Routes retirement of the legacy proxy to the canonical Caddy and removes it from the service inventory.
• /scripts/deploy.sh and /scripts/deploy-remote.sh — Removed standalone proxy dispatch and added idempotent retirement before canonical Caddy deployment.
• /tests/caddyfile.bats, /tests/deployment_scoping.bats, /tests/deployment_flow.bats, /tests/frank_large_config.bats — Added migration coverage and corrected the existing ubatch harness assertion.
• /docs/index.md — Bundle index remains the root navigation entry for the updated pages.
• Boot-persistence audit (post-reboot, 2026-08-26 evening): after Frank's reboot, Caddy and Pi-hole were both down. Caddy ran as a bare compose container (restart: unless-stopped does not survive shutdown's explicit stop; rootless Podman has no boot-time auto-start for bare containers). Pi-hole's quadlet existed but crash-looped (restart counter 1645): net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start was reset to 80 by two sources — a later-sorted sysctl drop-in (99-rootless-ports.conf) and a stale line in /etc/sysctl.conf, which systemd-sysctl applies after all of sysctl.d/ (the first deploy pass only fixed the drop-in; the runtime value stayed 80 until the /etc/sysctl.conf line was neutralized too).
• /AGENTS.md — new MANDATORY section "Boot Persistence & Self-Healing": every deployed, proven-working container must have a self-healing, boot-persistent quadlet unit (WantedBy=default.target + enabled + linger, Restart=always, repo-provenance .container), verified before a service is declared deployed.
• /dankclaw/caddy/quadlet/caddy.container, /dankclaw/caddy/env.example — Caddy is now a boot-persistent quadlet (caddy.service): joins dankclaw_default so container-name upstreams keep resolving, Pull=never (local-only image), Porkbun credentials via /home/dank/Containers/caddy/env (deploy writes it from .env), bare-IP-catch-all health check. The caddy service was removed from /dankclaw/compose.yaml.
• /dankclaw/pihole/sysctl/99-dnsmasq.conf — repo source of truth for ip_unprivileged_port_start=53; deploy_pihole installs it to /etc/sysctl.d/, stages conflicting drop-ins (value > 53) in the home trash, comments out a stale /etc/sysctl.conf line (applied after all of sysctl.d), and applies sysctl --system (the boot code path).
• /scripts/deploy-remote.sh — deploy_caddy installs/enables/starts the quadlet (retiring the bare container; all state is in host volumes); deploy_pihole enforces the sysctl prerequisite.
• /tests/caddy_quadlet.bats (new seam), /tests/caddyfile.bats, /tests/deployment_flow.bats, /tests/pihole.bats — quadlet boot-persistence, self-healing, network, env, and sysctl coverage; compose assertions repointed from the removed caddy service to the quadlet.
• /docs/Infrastructure/Caddy.md, /docs/Infrastructure/Pi-hole.md, /docs/Dankclaw/Dankclaw Stack.md — quadlet runtime facts, the 2026-08-26 incident, and the sysctl-conflict failure mode.
