# Portability audit — what in Ham Lab is specific to this lab (2026-10-09)

Goal: Ham Lab drops onto any set of Linux machines and works. This is the full sweep of
every place the code, defaults, docs or UI assume Mitchell's hosts, network, hardware,
distro, init system, orchestrator history or posture. **Nothing here is fixed yet** — this
is the list to work from. Each item: where, what it assumes, what the general form is.

Virtualization was cut from the app 2026-10-15 (kept on the `virtualization` branch); its
items — 1.8, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6.14 and the Incus halves of 5.3, 5.7, 6.15, 10.3 — went with it.

Severity key: **A** breaks or misbehaves on an ordinary host · **B** works but is wrong by
default or phones home to this lab · **C** cosmetic (placeholder text, comments, docs).

## 1. Hard-wired lab identifiers

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | **B** | `internal/selfupdate/selfupdate.go:36` `DefaultURL = "https://git.bigham.dev/api/v1/repos/mitchell/hamlab"` | Every install with no `update.url` checks **this** Gitea 90 s after boot and daily (`internal/api/update.go:1951, 2016`). A stranger's install phones home here by default. | Default should be **off** (or a build-time `-X` variable set at release). Installer asks or `install.sh` passes `HAMLAB_URL` through into `update.url`. |
| 1.2 | **B** | `install.sh:4, 27` `HAMLAB_URL` default; `README.md:23-25, 31` | The curl one-liner and the install source are this Gitea. | Default comes from the release that served the script (`@URL@` filled by `make release`), or is required. |
| 1.3 | **B** | `scripts/gitea-release.sh:14` `REPO` default | Publishing goes to `mitchell/hamlab` on this Gitea. | Require `HAMLAB_REPO`; no default. |
| 1.4 | **C** | `README.md:100` "On `core` it is public at `https://hamlab.bigham.dev` behind Nginx Proxy Manager" | Lab deployment fact in the product README. | Move to `hamlet/docs/hosts.md`. |
| 1.5 | **C** | `examples/external-demo/index.html:8` `base: 'http://10.0.0.234:8100'` | Demo config names the hub's LAN IP. | `http://<hamlab-host>:8100`. |
| 1.6 | **C** | `SENSORS.md:149` Prometheus target `10.0.0.234:8100`; `:187` `&machine=grid`; `:196-208` Glance examples at `hamlab.bigham.dev`, `zfs.tank.used_pct`, `/api/nodes/grid/...`; `:218-220` `grid,wyse`, `{"core":…,"grid":…,"mac":…}` | Docs use real host names, pool and domain. | Generic placeholders (`<host>`, `<machine>`, `<pool>`). |
| 1.7 | **C** | `PLAN.md:3-4` "bare-metal Debian 13 host. First target: `core` (10.0.0.234)"; decisions table rows (Listen `10.0.0.234:8100`, Data `/home/core/apps/hamlab/`, Ingress NPM/`hamlab.bigham.dev`, Repo) | Product plan is written as this lab's plan. | Keep as history, or split lab facts out to `hamlet`. The repo is public. |
| 1.9 | **C** | `BUGS.md` throughout | Bug bashes narrate `core`, `grid`, `wyse`, `hamtv`, `gate`, the Mac. | History; fine to leave, but it is public. |
| 1.10 | **C** | `cmd/hamlab/main.go:1` "Proxmox-style web console for a bare-metal Debian host"; `internal/hardware/hardware.go:5` "what Debian and its kin already have"; `internal/hardware/hardware.go:29` `// "GMKtec NucBox G3"`; `internal/metrics/metrics.go:1358` "did, on grid, 2026-10-02"; `internal/api/server.go:1382-1383` `["grid", …]`, `?machines=grid,wyse`; `internal/api/stacks.go:10` `/home/core/apps/dockhand/stacks/…`; `internal/api/dockersched.go:5` "unbound, nginx and pihole"; `internal/api/zfs.go:5` "grid already runs zfSnap"; `internal/storage/snapshots.go:6` "grid has run zfSnap v1.11.1"; `internal/api/guests.go:8` "Mitchell, 2026-09-27"; `internal/network/network.go:306` "the public address here is a DHCP lease"; `internal/metrics/gpu.go:17` "Asahi, today"; `internal/metrics/pciids.go:4-6` "the router's GPU"; `web/src/Top.tsx:522, 576`; `web/src/hashsel.ts:1-9`; `web/src/Embed.tsx:3` `&machine=grid` | Comments explain decisions by naming lab hosts. | Harmless, but rewrite the ones in package doc comments so a reader of the source doesn't need the lab to understand the code. |

## 2. UI placeholders and defaults that are this lab's

| # | Sev | Where | Text | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | **C** | `web/src/Machines.tsx:116-118` | `placeholder="grid"`, `"https://10.0.0.214:8100"`, `"core"` | `nas`, `https://192.0.2.10:8100`, `admin` or the hub's own user. |
| 2.3 | **C** | `web/src/Settings.tsx:242` | `placeholder="cpu.*, temp.*, zfs.tank.*"` | `cpu.*, temp.*, fs.*`. |
| 2.4 | **C** | `web/src/Settings.tsx:225` | read-only token default name `'glance'` | Empty, or `dashboard`. |
| 2.5 | **C** | `web/src/Alerts.tsx:38, 40` | `"Tank nearly full"`, `"zfs.tank.used_pct"` | `"Disk nearly full"`, `"fs.root.used_pct"`. |
| 2.6 | **C** | `web/src/StackNew.tsx:110, 113, 114` | `/home/core/apps/whoami:/data`, `TZ=America/Los_Angeles`, `com.example.owner=mitchell` | `./data:/data`, `TZ=UTC`, `com.example.owner=you`. |
| 2.7 | **C** | `web/src/Gallery.tsx:69`, `web/src/WidgetPicker.tsx:36` | `"find — gitea, temp, enp3s0…"`, `"filter sensors — cpu, temp, fan, enp3s0…"` | Drop the container and NIC names. |
| 2.8 | **C** | `web/src/VPN.tsx:105` | default DNS for a new device `1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1` | Fine as a public default, but should offer the tunnel's own address (the home resolver) first. |
| 2.9 | **B** | `web/src/ZFS.tsx:212` `BLANK` | new schedule defaults `at: '02:30'`, `keep_for: '6w'` — `grid`'s old zfSnap cron line | Neutral defaults (`03:00`, `4w`), or none. |
| 2.10 | **A** | `web/src/ZFS.tsx:302` `adopt()` | `/\b(tank[\w/-]*)\b/` — the dataset of an adopted external job is found by looking for the word **`tank`** | Parse the dataset from the command as the last `zfs`-shaped argument, or match against the datasets the page already has. On any other pool name adopt silently picks the fallback. |

## 3. Topology inherited from the lab (hub `core`, Dockhand, `tcp://:2375`)

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.1 | **done** 2026-10-10 | `internal/api/stacks.go` `nodeDocker()` (removed) | For every node whose stacks aren't editable locally, the hub **probes `tcp://<node-host>:2375`** with `docker -H … version` and, if it answers, deploys to the node over an unauthenticated Docker socket. This is the Dockhand-era layout; on any other network an open 2375 is either absent or a security problem the console should not quietly use. | Remove the probe. The node's own Ham Lab deploys its stacks (the files live on the node, under its data dir). `PLAN.md` "To do" already names this decision. |
| 3.2 | **done** 2026-10-10 | `hubStacks()`, `taskOnHub()`, the hub-side `/api/nodes/{node}/docker/…` routes, `Stack.remote`/`held_by` (all removed; the generic node proxy carries those requests) | A hub can hold compose files for a node and run compose remotely; new stacks for a node may be created **on the hub**. Only true here because Dockhand on `core` deployed `grid` and the Mac. | Same as 3.1: one machine, one set of files, one Docker. Hub-held stacks become an import path (copy to the node) rather than a steady state. |
| 3.3 | **done** 2026-10-10 | `internal/api/stacks.go` `homesOf()` — `<DataDir>/stacks` is always offered first and default; the `~/stacks` fallback is gone; `TestHomesDefaultToDataDir` | Where new stacks go is **discovered** from where ≥2 stacks already are (Dockhand's `stacks/<machine>` habit), else `~/stacks`. Neither is Ham Lab's data directory, which the project's own rule says everything managed must live under. | Default home = `<DataDir>/stacks`. Discovered homes stay as *additional* places, never the default. |
| 3.4 | **B** | `internal/api/stacks.go:100-203` remembered mounts, `internal/api/dockersched.go:772-795` `repoint()` | Machinery exists to find compose files **inside a removed orchestrator container's filesystem**. Generic in form, but it exists because of Dockhand and is exercised only here. | Keep (it is general), but it is not a reason to keep 3.1/3.2. |
| 3.5 | — | `internal/api/stacks.go` `stackAction`, `internal/compose/compose.go` | Inside a `Via` container the command is literally `docker compose`. | **Checked 2026-10-10, no change:** the CLI inside an orchestrator's container is that container's own `docker`, independent of what the host runs; the host's tool only chooses the `exec`. Both places now say so in a comment. |
| 3.6 | **B** | `internal/api/stacks.go:908` `docker buildx imagetools inspect` | Update checks need the **buildx** plugin. Docker CE on Debian has it; Podman and minimal Docker installs do not → every image reports "the registry didn't answer". | Fall back to `skopeo inspect` or a direct registry `HEAD` for the digest. |
| 3.7 | **B** | `Makefile:445-448` `deploy` | The machine you build on **is** the hub: installs locally, then `push-nodes`. | Fine for a developer; document that `deploy` means "I am the hub". A plain `make install` target for a single box. |
| 3.8 | **B** | `internal/nodes/nodes.go:316-323` | A hub pushes other architectures only if `<prefix>/hamlab-<arch>` siblings exist, which only `make deploy`/`install.sh`-from-dist put there. | A hub without siblings should fetch the right build from `update.url` instead of erroring. |

## 4. Init system: systemd assumed where the product promises procd and OpenRC too

The installer supports systemd, procd and OpenRC (`internal/setup/setup.go:217-262`). These paths do not.

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.1 | **A** | `internal/updates/updates.go:537-543` `Power()` | `systemctl reboot` / `systemctl poweroff`. On OpenWrt (`gate`) and OpenRC the Power dialog fails. | Try `systemctl`, else `reboot` / `poweroff` (busybox, OpenRC, sysvinit all have them). |
| 4.3 | **A** | `internal/services/services.go:163-170` | Services tab is systemd-only ("says so cleanly"). `gate` (procd) and any OpenRC/runit/s6 box have no Services tab. | `rc-service`/`rc-status` (OpenRC), `/etc/init.d/<x> status` + `ubus call service list` (procd), `sv` (runit) backends. Noted as "not done" in `PLAN.md:487-489`. |
| 4.4 | **A** | `internal/cron/cron.go:353-373, 401, 442, 532-534, 669-670` | Jobs tab reads `/etc/crontab`, `/etc/cron.d`, `/var/spool/cron{,/crontabs}` (Debian/cronie), `/usr/sbin/anacron`, last-runs from **journald**, timers via `systemctl`; writes only `/etc/crontab` and `/etc/cron.d`. Busybox crond (OpenWrt, Alpine) keeps crontabs in `/etc/crontabs/<user>` and has no `cron.d` → the Jobs tab is empty on `gate` and schedules written by 4.5 never run. | Add `/etc/crontabs/*` as a source; last-runs from syslog/logread when there is no journal. |
| 4.5 | **A** | `internal/storage/snapshots.go:402` `/etc/cron.d/hamlab-zfs`; `internal/api/dockersched.go:65` `/etc/cron.d/hamlab-docker` | ZFS snapshot and image-update schedules are cron.d files. No cron.d on busybox crond; no cron at all on a systemd-timer-only host (Fedora Server, CoreOS). | Detect: cron.d → cron.d; busybox → a line in `/etc/crontabs/<user>`; none but systemd → a timer unit. The daemon-side runner already exists (`hamlab zfs-snapshot`, `docker-update`). |
| 4.6 | **B** | `internal/hardware/hardware.go:333` `systemd-detect-virt` | Virtualisation detection is systemd-only. | Fall back to `/sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor`, `/proc/cpuinfo` `hypervisor` flag, `/sys/devices/virtual/dmi`. |
| 4.7 | **B** | `internal/api/server.go:1129`, `internal/updates/updates.go:187` | `/run/reboot-required` is Debian/Ubuntu-only. `updates.Status` falls back to a kernel check for other distros; `/api/me.reboot_needed` (the Machines badge, the header's amber power button) does not. | Share one function. |
| 4.8 | **B** | `install.sh:154-157, 164, 375-378`; `internal/setup/setup.go:284` | The wizard's init detection knows systemd and OpenRC only: on OpenWrt it warns "no systemd or OpenRC: nothing starts it at boot" although `hamlab install` then installs a procd script fine; the "logs" hint and the "isn't answering yet" hint have no procd case. | Add procd to both. |
| 4.9 | **B** | `internal/setup/setup.go:609-641` `firewall()` | Only firewalld and ufw are detected. OpenWrt fw4/nftables, plain nftables, iptables, Alpine awall are not. | Detect `fw4`/`nft`/`iptables`; on OpenWrt add a LAN-zone rule or say what to open. |
| 4.10 | **B** | `internal/setup/setup.go:568-605` `quietSudoers()`; `internal/services/services.go:176-185` | The sudoers quieting list is tuned to what the lab polls (`smartctl`, `pwrstat`, `journalctl`, `zpool`, `zfs`). A host with NUT or apcupsd gets `upsc`/`apcaccess` lines in its auth log at 10 s intervals; a host without `/etc/sudoers.d` (OpenWrt) gets nothing, which is correct. | Build the list from what the collector actually probes. |

## 5. Distro and package assumptions beyond init

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.3 | **B** | `DEBIAN_FRONTEND`, `apt-get … -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold` in `internal/updates/updates.go:78, 432` | Debian-isms exported unconditionally. Harmless elsewhere. | Fine; note only. |
| 5.4 | **B** | `scripts/pci-ids-gpu.sh:7, 41` default `/usr/share/misc/pci.ids` | Debian's path for `pci.ids`; Fedora/Arch keep it in `/usr/share/hwdata/`. Build-time only. | Try both. |
| 5.5 | **B** | `internal/api/status_sensors.go:283`, `internal/api/docker.go:133` | Container memory/CPU read from three cgroup paths: cgroup v2 + systemd driver, cgroupfs, libpod. cgroup v1 hosts (older Debian/Ubuntu, some Alpine, OpenWrt) get no `container.*.mem/cpu`. | Add the v1 `memory/docker/<id>` and `cpu,cpuacct` paths, or fall back to `docker stats --no-stream` once in a while. |
| 5.6 | **B** | `internal/metrics/metrics.go:1064` `clkTck = 100` | USER_HZ assumed 100. True on every mainstream build; wrong on a kernel built otherwise. | `sysconf` via `getconf CLK_TCK` once at start. |
| 5.7 | **B** | `internal/space/manager.go:578-585` `timeout -s KILL` | GNU `timeout`. | Busybox has `timeout` too but flag spelling differs — use the context deadline. |

## 6. Hardware and vendor assumptions

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.1 | **B** | `internal/metrics/gpu.go:343-383` `read()` | Busy/clock/VRAM are read for **i915, xe, amdgpu** only — the three GPUs in this lab. Nouveau, nvidia-drm, panfrost, v3d, Asahi are listed but never measured. `PLAN.md:317`: "No NVIDIA path: nothing here has one to test against." | `nvidia-smi --query-gpu` where present; `/sys/class/drm/*/device/gpu_busy_percent` for nouveau; `devfreq` for the ARM drivers. |
| 6.2 | **B** | `internal/metrics/pciids_gpu.txt`, `scripts/pci-ids-gpu.sh:12-15` | Embedded PCI ID table trimmed to Intel, AMD, NVIDIA and three virtual vendors. Matrox, ASPEED (every server BMC), Moore Threads, etc. fall back to `lspci` or "Vendor GPU <id>". | Include the full display-class device list, not three vendors. |
| 6.3 | **B** | `internal/metrics/gpu.go:237-241` | "Integrated" = PCI bus `0000:00:`. Wrong on multi-domain or APU boards where the iGPU hangs off a bridge; cosmetic. | Use `boot_vga` + `PCI_SUBSYS` heuristics, or drop the flag. |
| 6.4 | **B** | `internal/metrics/metrics.go:189-196, 917-968` | UPS probe order **pwrstat (CyberPower) first**, then NUT, then apcupsd; pwrstat's `....`-separated output is parsed bespoke. A host with both pwrstat and NUT shows pwrstat only. | Prefer NUT (the vendor-neutral one), then the vendor tools; or list every UPS found. |
| 6.5 | **B** | `internal/metrics/metrics.go:1179-1182` `cpuTemp()` | CPU temperature from `coretemp`, `k10temp`, `thermal`/`cpu`, `cpu_thermal`, `soc_thermal`. Misses `zenpower`, `acpitz` as the only sensor, Apple `macsmc` names, many ARM SoC zone names. | Broaden; fall back to the hottest zone when none matches. |
| 6.6 | **B** | `internal/hardware/hardware.go:617-627` `jedec` | JEDEC IDs for "the memory makers who turn up in a homelab" — 14 entries. | Embed the JEDEC JEP106 bank list (public, small). |
| 6.7 | **B** | `internal/storage/storage.go`, `internal/api/zfs.go`, `internal/storage/arc.go`, `web/src/ZFS.tsx` | A whole **ZFS** tab and ZFS-aware Space/Disks logic; **no btrfs or LVM equivalent** (snapshots, subvolumes, scrub, balance). Not wrong, but the tab list reflects a ZFS NAS. | Later: a Btrfs tab with the same shape, or a generic "Filesystems" tab that shows what the host has. |
| 6.8 | **B** | `internal/storage/snapshots.go:1-16, 966-968` | Snapshot naming is **zfSnap's** (`2026-09-24_02.30.01--6w`) because `grid` ran zfSnap. A sanoid/zfs-auto-snapshot user's existing snapshots (`autosnap_…`, `zfs-auto-snap_daily-…`) are detected (`internal/api/zfs.go:1764-1798`) but can never be expired by Ham Lab, and new schedules write a third convention beside them. | Make the naming a per-schedule choice (zfSnap / sanoid / zfs-auto-snapshot), or at least document the convention as the product's rather than inherited. |
| 6.9 | **B** | `internal/network/speedtest.go:64-67` `downSources` | Fallback download source is **`speedtest.seattle.linode.com`** — chosen because the lab is in the Pacific Northwest. Everywhere else it reads low. | Pick the nearest of several mirrors, or drop the fallback and report the refusal. |
| 6.10 | **B** | `internal/network/speedtest.go:70-74, 604`, `internal/network/network.go:323-334` | Public IP, edge and speed come from **Cloudflare** endpoints, polled every 15 min with no off switch. Air-gapped or privacy-minded installs have no way to disable the outbound probe. | A `network.outside: off` setting; honour it in the watcher. |
| 6.11 | **B** | `internal/vpn/edit.go:5-7, 419-421` | Peers can be **created/edited only through OpenWrt UCI** "because that is where the server here is configured". A wg-quick server (the common case everywhere else) is read-only. | Write wg-quick `.conf` too (append a `[Peer]` block + `wg set`), guarded the same way. |
| 6.12 | **B** | `internal/vpn/vpn.go:251-253` | Peer names come from wg-quick comments or UCI descriptions — "which between them cover every machine here". NetworkManager and systemd-networkd WireGuard configs are not read. | Add `.nmconnection` and `.netdev` readers. |
| 6.13 | **B** | `internal/vpn/edit.go:515` `profile()` | Split-tunnel routes hard-code `10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12` on top of the tunnel's own prefix. | Offer the host's actual LAN prefixes (from `TakenPrefixes`-style route reading), with RFC 1918 as the fallback. |
| 6.15 | **B** | `internal/network/network.go:170-199, 303-314`; `internal/vpn/edit.go:558-595`; `internal/tlsauto/tlsauto.go:533-537`; `install.sh:114-120`; `internal/setup/setup.go:648-666` | **IPv4 everywhere**: default route from `/proc/net/route` only, outside view v4 only, peer allocation v4 only, cert SANs v4 only, installer lists v4 addresses only. | `/proc/net/ipv6_route`, v6 SANs, v6 peer addresses. An IPv6-only host today has no gateway, and no cert SAN. |

## 7. Privilege and deployment posture (the lab's NOPASSWD-everywhere model)

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.1 | **A** | `internal/priv/priv.go`; every tab that calls `priv.Available()`; `web/src/Updates.tsx:2144` "give its user passwordless sudo or doas"; `web/src/Jobs.tsx:1883` | Full function needs the service user to have **unrestricted passwordless sudo**, which `hamlet/CLAUDE.md` grants on every host here. The installer neither creates nor offers a sudoers rule, so on a fresh box most tabs are read-only and the UI tells the user to go fix sudoers by hand. | `hamlab install --sudo` writes a **scoped** `/etc/sudoers.d/hamlab` naming the commands Ham Lab runs (smartctl, zpool, zfs, systemctl, docker, journalctl, tee for its cron files, `hamlab fs|space-walk|drm-clients|cpu-energy|replace`), or installs as root. Either way the console works out of the box. |
| 7.2 | **A** | `internal/api/server.go:1069-1080` `clientKey()`, `:1083-1092`, `:431-433` `secure()` | The **first `X-Forwarded-For` hop is trusted unconditionally**, because here Ham Lab always sits behind Nginx Proxy Manager. On a host exposed directly, a client sets the header and defeats the per-client login rate limiter and the session IP check. | Trust `X-Forwarded-*` only from configured proxy addresses (`trusted_proxies` in config), else use the socket peer. |
| 7.3 | **B** | `internal/api/server.go:1324` `X-Accel-Buffering: no` "nginx (NPM)" | Harmless header; comment names the lab's proxy. | Keep header; generalise comment. |
| 7.4 | **B** | `internal/api/guests.go:1-9`, `PLAN.md:21` | Guest logins are full-power ("he gives these to people he trusts"). A product default. | Keep, but it is a posture decision taken for this household; a read-only guest is the generic expectation and was cut. Document as a deliberate choice in README. |
| 7.5 | **B** | `internal/api/users.go:1-6` | "a household console, not a tenancy": any signed-in user can add users, make tokens, open a root shell. | Same as 7.4 — fine, but say so where a stranger installs it. |

## 8. Resource tuning from the lab's smallest host

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.1 | **B** | `cmd/hamlab/main.go:451` `debug.SetMemoryLimit(160 << 20)`; `PLAN.md:11` "`core` has ~370 MiB free RAM" | A fixed 160 MiB soft heap limit sized for `core`. On a 64 GiB NAS it forces needless GC under a big Space scan; on a 512 MiB Pi it is still half the box. | Scale from `MemTotal` (e.g. 2–5 %, floor 64 MiB, ceiling 1 GiB), or make it a config key. |
| 8.2 | **B** | `internal/space/walk.go:893` `workers := 32`; `internal/space/manager.go:578` 3-minute `zfs diff` patience | Tuned on `grid` (16 cores) and `core`. | Workers from `GOMAXPROCS`; patience configurable. |
| 8.3 | **C** | `internal/metrics/metrics.go:32-43` intervals, `History = 300` | Reasonable generic defaults; listed only because 8.1 made them look lab-tuned. | None. |

## 9. Data directory and legacy paths

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9.1 | **B** | `internal/config/config.go:115-117` `Candidates()`; `internal/setup/setup.go:413-422`; `README.md:38` | `~/apps/hamlab/config.json` is searched as a legacy location — the lab's pre-v0.2 path, kept so `core`, `grid` and the Mac keep working. | Keep for one more release with a one-time migration log line, then drop. A stranger never had it. |
| 9.2 | **done** 2026-10-10 | 3.3 above; `PLAN.md:24` "`grid`'s and the Mac's stacks at `~/stacks/<machine>/` are the standing exception" | The "everything under DataDir" rule has a lab-shaped exception baked into the stacks code. | Default to DataDir; treat `~/stacks` as a discovered home like any other. |
| 9.3 | **C** | `internal/setup/setup.go:351` `ownFiles` | Correctly scoped; note only. | None. |

## 10. Build and release

| # | Sev | Where | Assumes | General form |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.1 | **B** | `Makefile:60-61, 442-443`; `scripts/gitea-release.sh` | Publishing is Gitea/Forgejo-only (release API shape). `selfupdate` also understands a static directory, so publishing could too. | `make release` + any static host is already enough; add a GitHub/Forgejo-agnostic `release-dir` note. |
| 10.2 | **C** | `scripts/gitea-release.sh:500-515` | Needs `python3` on the publishing host. | `jq`, or do it in Go (`hamlab publish`). |
| 10.3 | **C** | `Makefile:392` `ARCHES ?= amd64 arm64 arm 386 riscv64` | Fine. | — |

## 11. Things that are already general (checked, no change needed)

Listed so the sweep is known to be complete, not because they need work.

- `internal/priv` (root / sudo / doas), `internal/setup` service templates, `IP_FREEBIND` listen, self-update atomic replace and re-exec.
- `internal/updates`: apt, dnf, zypper, pacman, apk with refresh/upgrade/install.
- `internal/storage` block devices: `lsblk -J` with a `/sys/block` fallback, eMMC health, NVMe namespace folding, SMART only when `smartctl` exists.
- `internal/metrics` CPU/mem/hwmon/thermal/net/disk/fs from `/proc` and `/sys`; remote-FS and pseudo-FS lists; filesystem statfs with a timeout.
- `internal/hardware`: every reader may come back empty with a note; device-tree fallbacks for non-SMBIOS boards.
- `internal/nodes`, `internal/tlsauto`: hub ↔ node pairing, pinned certs, proxy, push.
- `internal/sensors`, alerts, widgets, embeds, Prometheus: machine-agnostic by design.
- `internal/files`, `internal/term`, `internal/tasks`, `internal/auth`, `internal/store`.
- `internal/compose` (modulo 3.5).
- The React UI: machine-switcher model, hash routing, per-account prefs, themes.

## Suggested order of work

1. **Posture and safety first (A):** 7.2 trusted proxies; 7.1 installer-written scoped sudoers; ~~3.1 drop the `:2375` probe (with 3.2 as its consequence)~~ done 2026-10-10.
2. **"Any Linux" promises the README already makes (A):** 4.1 power, 4.4/4.5 cron on busybox and timer-only hosts, 4.3 a Services backend for OpenRC/procd, 2.10 the `tank` regex.
3. **Lab defaults that phone home or mislead (B):** 1.1–1.3 update/install URLs, 2.9 schedule defaults, 6.9/6.10 speed-test sources and an off switch, 8.1 memory limit, ~~3.3/9.2 stack home = DataDir~~ done 2026-10-10.
4. **Breadth (B):** 5.5 cgroup v1, 6.1/6.2 GPUs beyond Intel/AMD, 6.4 UPS order, 6.11/6.12 wg-quick/NetworkManager, 6.15 IPv6.
5. **Cosmetics (C):** every placeholder and comment in §1.10 and §2, then split lab facts out of `PLAN.md`, `SENSORS.md`, `README.md`.
