The 2026-08-03 cc-ci outage was recovered with ad-hoc tooling living in /tmp
(leftover from a PREVIOUS incident, half-evaporated). Promoted to the repo:
- scripts/recovery/hetzner.py — Hetzner API helper (status/actions/reboot/reset/
power/rescue-on|off/console), knows cc-ci=134485294 + orchestrator=134487234 by
name; token from HCLOUD_TOKEN or /srv/cc-ci/.hcloud-token (0600, never in git).
- scripts/recovery/hetzner-console.sh — shell-only VGA console: fresh console
session -> websocat bridge -> vncdotool (venv auto-bootstrapped in ~/.cache).
screenshot / key / type subcommands; encodes the reset-invalidates-session and
single-connection-bridge gotchas.
- scripts/recovery/README.md — the condensed 10-minute unreachable-server drill,
incl. the GRUB submenu 1>N ids + clear-grubenv-after-switch rule.
- hetzner-server-recovery skill: console/API sections now point at the repo tools
instead of describing /tmp rebuilds.
Smoke-tested: hetzner.py cc-ci status OK.
