+## Session 2026-09-07 19:30 UTC — Claude Fable 5.1 orchestrator (re)launch, startup check
+
+**What happened:** Orchestrator relaunched on the `claude` backend (`agents.toml` now says
+`backend = "claude"`, `model = "claude-fable-5-1"`, operator change today, uncommitted). Ran the
+AGENTS.md on-startup routine. NOT a reboot: host uptime 15 days, REBOOTS.md still shows 5 reboots
+(last 2026-08-23 03:11 UTC). `cc-ci-loops.service` was restarted at 14:50 and 15:14 UTC today by a
+`nixos-rebuild test --flake /srv/notplants-nix#notplants-orchestrator`, which re-ran `launch.sh start`;
+the phase sequence immediately re-concluded (all 15 phases DONE, "entire build finished"), so
+builder/adversary/watchdog being stopped is the expected terminal state. Did NOT relaunch the loops.
+
+**Current state:**
+- Weekly `/upgrade-all` 2026-09-04 completed: 8 upgrade PRs extended (custom-html, ghost,
+  lasuite-docs/drive/meet, matrix-synapse, mattermost-lts, n8n), 0 failed, nothing merged. Report
+  `week-2026-09-04.html` returns 200. Next timer run Fri 2026-09-11 02:00 UTC.
+- Hourly supervisor (XX:07) fires and stands down in ~1s — nothing to drive.
+- Open operator items from the 09-04 run: review/merge the 8 PRs; `warm-gitea` canonical
+  crash-looping on read-only `/etc/gitea` (pre-existing); deployed `/root/cc-ci/tests` on the CI host
+  lags server-repo `main` (missing `tests/wordpress`).
+- Uncommitted in this checkout (left alone, operator WIP): `agents.toml` backend switch,
+  auto-appended 2026-08-23 line in `REBOOTS.md`, and the untracked `plan-agent-orchestrator.md` /
+  `plan-phase-ao*.md` / `cc-ci-conc/` set.
+
+## Session 2026-09-07 20:00 UTC — start of the cc-ci + orchestrator consolidation onto one Hetzner host
+
+**Operator request:** move the cc-ci CI server AND the orchestrator to a new Hetzner box
+(`195.201.88.249`, 8 GB), leave everything notplants-side on this host, keep cc-ci's nix in the
+cc-ci repo and the orchestrator's in cc-ci-orchestrator with the latter including the former,
+add `archive/` + a from-scratch deploy README, and (last) move to `autonomic.zone` subdomains.
+Plan + live log: `cc-ci-plan/plan-cc-ci-combined-host.md` (on the branch; copy here).
+
+**Done this session:**
+- New ssh key `notplants-orchestrator` (`/secrets/files/notplants-orchestrator-ed25519`), on the new box.
+- nixos-infect on the new box (Debian 13 → NixOS 26.05). Gotcha: `/tmp` is tmpfs on that image,
+  nixos-infect's temp swapfile fails → `NO_SWAP=true`. It built and rebooted ~19:50 UTC and had
+  NOT come back by 20:00 (no ping) — operator to check the Hetzner console / give an API token.
+- cc-ci branch `feat/nixos-module-export` (9b99f81, pushed): `nixosModules.cc-ci-server`
+  (`nix/modules/default.nix`), options `cc-ci.publicIPv4` + `cc-ci.sopsFile`; standalone `#cc-ci`
+  drv byte-identical before/after.
+- cc-ci-orchestrator branch `feat/combined-cc-ci-host` (31af820, pushed): flake input `cc-ci`
+  (follows), `nixosConfigurations.cc-ci`, `nix/modules/orchestrator-host.nix`, `nix/hosts/cc-ci/`
+  (hardware/networking PROVISIONAL until the infect output is captured), README deploy guide,
+  `archive/` (old host configs, terraform, migration plans), AGENTS.md + update-skill refs.
+  `#cc-ci` evaluates. Work is in git worktrees under the session scratchpad, not in this checkout.
+
+**Next:** box reachable → capture hardware/networking → stage secrets → `nixos-rebuild test`
+→ data copy → DNS cutover → move the orchestrator → notplants-nix PR dropping cc-ci → autonomic.zone.
+
+## Session 2026-09-07 20:30 UTC — new combined host is UP, pre-cutover
+
+- nixos-infect trouble root-caused from Hetzner rescue mode (operator gave an API token, stored
+  at `/srv/cc-ci/.hcloud-token`, server id 165014541, cpx32 nbg1): (1) `NO_SWAP=true` for tmpfs
+  /tmp; (2) 26.05's systemd initrd did NOT lustrate — Debian's units shadowed NixOS's, every
+  service failed; fixed by moving the old root to `/old-root` by hand; (3) bare-string
+  `defaultGateway` → no default route; fixed + chroot `nixos-rebuild boot --option sandbox false`.
+  All documented in the new README §2a.
+- cc-ci PR #32 merged (module export). cc-ci-orchestrator PR #19 merged (combined host). Both
+  branches scanned clean by the commit hook.
+- New box: `nixos-rebuild test` → verified → `switch`; reboot test OK. Data restored: acme (+
+  acme-dns account), acme-dns, ci-certs, reports, runs, ci-warm, /root/.abra, Drone volume (with
+  drone scaled to 0 during the copy). Dashboard/reports/drone answer on the new IP with the valid
+  LE cert; acme-dns answers on public 53.
+- Pre-cutover quarantine on the new box: `ccci-bridge_app` scaled to 0, both cc-ci timers
+  `mask --runtime`, cc-ci-orchestrator/loops units stopped (these do NOT survive a reboot — redo).
+- Staged for loops: ~/.claude, opencode config+state, ssh keys, .testenv, upgrader.env,
+  .sops/master-age.txt, .cc-ci-logs; nginx oc-* files (root:nginx 0640).
+- Open: tailscale auth key revoked (`invalid key: API key does not exist`) → operator issues a
+  new one. DNS cutover at Gandi (ci, *.ci, ns-acme → 195.201.88.249) → operator.
