# Orchestrator journal

This file is the **persistent handoff record** for the cc-ci orchestrator. Every orchestrator
session (whether Claude or opencode) reads this on startup and appends to it when handing off or
when something noteworthy happens. It survives conversation resets — it is the memory that
`--resume` can't provide for opencode, and a more readable supplement for Claude sessions.

**On startup:** read this file before doing anything else. The most recent `## Session` entry
is where the previous session left off. Carry that context forward.

**On handoff / end of session:** append a `## Session` block (see format below) summarising
what happened, the current state, and anything the next session needs to know.

**On significant events mid-session:** append a `### Event` sub-entry (no need to wait for
handoff).

## Session 2026-05-31 ~04:00 UTC — Claude Sonnet 4.6

**Left off:** Completed the orchestrator → Hetzner migration (cpx22, server 134487234, public
`168.119.126.100`, tailnet `cc-ci-orchestrator-1` @ `100.84.190.30`). The old Incus VM
(`100.116.55.106`) is still on the tailnet — cold standby, not yet deleted.

**Phase / loop state:** Phases 1c–1e, 2w, 2pc, 2, 2b, 3 all DONE. Phase 5 [11/11]
(upgrade-flow verify) in progress — loops running, actively verifying the `!testme`
end-to-end flow on the new Hetzner cc-ci server.

**Open items:**
- Phase 5 is in progress — loops need to finish V1–V9 and write `## DONE` to STATUS-5.md.
- Phase 4 (final review/polish) was deliberately **skipped** this session — it is queued
  at idx 9 in PHASE_IDX_FILE. Resume it after the weekly Opus credits reset.
- Phase 6 (reconcile-only over all 18 recipe mirrors) and Phase 7 (full upgrade on n8n +
  ghost + matrix-synapse) are planned but not yet started — run them after Phase 5 DONE.
- Old Incus orchestrator VM (`cc-ci-orchestrator`, `100.116.55.106`) is still running —
  stop it via the b1 Incus API once happy with the Hetzner box. mTLS certs at
  `/srv/incus-terraform-nix-vm-creator/terraform-secrets/`.
- DNS: `oc.commoninternet.net` A record → `100.84.190.30` still needs adding (operator step).

**Notes:**
- `cc-ci-loops.service` is **enabled** and wired with `reboot-log.sh` ExecStartPre — a reboot
  is a non-event; loops + watchdog auto-resume via RESUME_PHASE=1.
- The cc-ci **server** also moved to Hetzner (server 134485294, `ssh cc-ci` →
  `100.95.31.88`). It has authenticated Docker Hub pulls and 150 GB disk — the old OOM /
  disk-starvation / rate-limit issues are gone.
- All recipe mirrors currently reconcile correctly; no stale open PRs observed.
- `opencode` v1.15.13 installed at `/home/loops/.local/bin/opencode`. Tinfoil API key is in
  `.testenv` as `TINFOIL_API_KEY`. Backend switch: `LOOP_BACKEND=opencode
  LOOP_MODEL=tinfoil/deepseek-v4-pro RESUME_PHASE=1 cc-ci-plan/launch.sh start`.
- Launcher scripts rewritten to Python (`launch.py`, `launch-orchestrator.py`,
  `launch-upgrader.py`); bash wrappers are now one-liners that `exec python3 <script> "$@"`.

### Event 03:13 — migrated from old Incus VM to Hetzner
Loops were started manually during staging (not by the service); first systemd-managed
boot was later this session. `cc-ci-loops.service` now enabled.

### Event 05:23 — phase 3 (results-UX) completed
All R1–R8 Adversary-verified, no VETO. Watchdog auto-advanced to phase 4.

### Event 13:22 — phase 4 paused, jumped to phase 5
Operator deferred phase 4 (weekly Opus credits exhausted). Phase idx manually set to 10
(phase 5). Loops restarted on Sonnet.

### Event 17:29 — loops stopped pending restart on different model
Operator paused loops to reconfigure backend (opencode/tinfoil exploration). Phase 5
[11/11] was in progress — loops had verified V1/V2/V3/V7 (custom-html-tiny upgrade GREEN).
Phase idx = 10 (phase 5), loops stopped, watchdog stopped.
