 - `pkg/` – shared lib (inventory, imaging, injectors, platform abstraction)
 - `docs/` – user/operator docs (this will stay light; working notes live in AGENTS.md untracked)
 - `AGENTS.md` – local, untracked working notes (do not add to git)
+
+## Current modes
+- `metis plan --inventory inv.yaml --node titan-13 --device /dev/sdz --cache /tmp/metis-cache` prints the burn plan (respects `--boot/--root` or `METIS_*` envs for injection steps).
+- `metis burn ... --yes` downloads/verifies the golden image, writes it (dd for `/dev/*`, file copy otherwise), and injects node config when mounts are provided.
+  - Pass `--boot /mnt/boot --root /mnt/root` (or set `METIS_BOOT_PATH`/`METIS_ROOT_PATH`) to drop hostname, k3s config, ssh keys, NoCloud user-data, and a debug `etc/metis/node.json` into the mounted card. If unset, injection is skipped (write-only).
+  - `--auto-mount` attempts to mount `/dev/*` partitions (or loop images) automatically for injection on Linux (requires privileges).
+- `metis image --inventory inv.yaml --node titan-13 --output artifacts/titan-13.img` produces a fully injected raw image artifact without writing to removable media.
+- `metis serve` runs the operator-facing Metis service:
+  - web UI for build/flash workflows
+  - Prometheus metrics on `/metrics`
+  - internal sentinel snapshot + watch endpoints
+- Container images are split for gentler cluster operation:
+  - `metis` carries the flash/build toolchain and is intended to run on `titan-22`
+  - `metis-sentinel` stays slim for the DaemonSet that samples node facts
+- Class overlays: define `boot_overlay`/`root_overlay` on a class to merge static files into boot/root at burn time (e.g., cloud-init/netplan drop-ins, GPU driver configs). Per-node config still injects hostname/IP/k3s/SSH/Longhorn.
+- Linux loop-mount helper (losetup/mount) exists for automation; wiring into CLI burn is next. Windows writer/GUI stub forthcoming.
+- Vault: Metis can read per-node secrets from `secret/data/nodes/<hostname>` using VAULT_ADDR plus either VAULT_TOKEN or AppRole (VAULT_ROLE_ID/VAULT_SECRET_ID). Expected fields: ssh_password, k3s_token, cloud_init, extra map.
+- Sentinel: `metis-sentinel` collects host facts and can either print them, write local history, or push them into the Metis service. The intended deployment shape is a DaemonSet on cluster nodes plus an Ariadne-triggered Metis watch that recomputes recommended class targets and drift history.
+- Facts aggregation: `metis facts --inventory inv.yaml --snapshots ./snapshots` reads sentinel snapshot JSON files and prints per-class drift summary (kernels, containerd, k3s, package samples). Use exported ConfigMaps or `METIS_SENTINEL_OUT` history as input.
+- `metis config --inventory inv.yaml --node titan-13` prints the merged node config (hostname/IP/k3s labels/taints/Longhorn UUIDs).
+
+## Service direction
+- Deployed UI protected by Atlas SSO headers (`admin` / `maintainer`)
+- Default flash host support for `titan-22`
+- Recent build / flash / sentinel change history
+- Ariadne-driven sentinel watch cadence
+- Prometheus/Grafana visibility for Metis runs and tests
+  - CI test metrics share the `ariadne_ci_*` series and are distinguished by `repo="metis"`
+
+Current deployment note: the service can fetch and verify the rpi4 base image from an official URL via `METIS_IMAGE_RPI4_ARMBIAN_LONGHORN` and `METIS_IMAGE_RPI4_ARMBIAN_LONGHORN_SHA256`, then cache it locally on the flash host. A mirrored Harbor-backed base image is still preferable long term, but it is no longer a prerequisite for Texas-side builds.
+
+Next steps: publish the service images, add the SCM remote/repo for Metis, and broaden inventory coverage beyond the current Titan recovery classes.

+# Titan rpi4 Longhorn Recovery
+
+This flow is for `titan-13`, `titan-15`, `titan-17`, and `titan-19`.
+
+## Why this works
+
+- The replacement card is burned from a plain Armbian rpi4 image.
+- Metis injects the original node identity, k3s config, SSH key, and Longhorn disk UUIDs.
+- The image also carries a static NetworkManager profile for the node IP plus local `k3s` and `open-iscsi` payloads sourced from a healthy rpi4 Longhorn node.
+- An Armbian first-boot hook finishes the host bootstrap automatically:
+  - enables SSH on port `2277`
+  - mounts `/mnt/astreae` and `/mnt/asteria`
+  - ensures the iSCSI initiator identity exists
+  - starts `open-iscsi`
+  - starts `k3s-agent`
+- For this Armbian flow, the important recovery files live on the root partition; boot NoCloud files are optional and not required for node recovery.
+
+## Before burning
+
+For a same-name replacement, remove the old node object first so k3s can re-register the node cleanly.
+
+```bash
+kubectl delete node titan-13
+kubectl delete node titan-19
+```
+
+Then export the live cluster join token:
+
+```bash
+export METIS_K3S_TOKEN="$(ssh titan-0a 'sudo cat /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token')"
+export METIS_IMAGE_RPI4_ARMBIAN_LONGHORN="file://${HOME}/Downloads/Armbian_25.8.1_Rpi4b_noble_current_6.12.41.img"
+```
+
+## Burn commands
+
+Inspect the merged config first:
+
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/metis config --inventory inventory.titan-rpi4.yaml --node titan-13
+go run ./cmd/metis config --inventory inventory.titan-rpi4.yaml --node titan-19
+```
+
+If you want ready-to-flash artifacts before inserting SD cards, build them first:
+
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/metis image \
+  --inventory inventory.titan-rpi4.yaml \
+  --node titan-13 \
+  --cache "${HOME}/.cache/metis" \
+  --output artifacts/titan-13.img
+
+go run ./cmd/metis image \
+  --inventory inventory.titan-rpi4.yaml \
+  --node titan-19 \
+  --cache "${HOME}/.cache/metis" \
+  --output artifacts/titan-19.img
+```
+
+Burn the cards:
+
+```bash
+sudo -E go run ./cmd/metis burn \
+  --inventory inventory.titan-rpi4.yaml \
+  --node titan-13 \
+  --device /dev/sdX \
+  --cache "${HOME}/.cache/metis" \
+  --auto-mount \
+  --yes
+
+sudo -E go run ./cmd/metis burn \
+  --inventory inventory.titan-rpi4.yaml \
+  --node titan-19 \
+  --device /dev/sdY \
+  --cache "${HOME}/.cache/metis" \
+  --auto-mount \
+  --yes
+```
+
+## After boot
+
+Because the hardware stays the same, the Pi should keep the same MAC address and reclaim the same DHCP reservation.
+
+Validate:
+
+```bash
+kubectl get nodes | grep 'titan-13\|titan-19'
+kubectl -n longhorn-system get nodes.longhorn.io
+kubectl -n longhorn-system get replicas.longhorn.io -o wide | grep 'titan-13\|titan-19'
+```

+# Titan rpi4 Remote Replacement
+
+This is the low-touch replacement flow for `titan-13` and `titan-19` when the
+person onsite can only:
+
+1. insert an SD card into the flashing machine
+2. swap the card into the Pi
+3. power-cycle the Pi
+
+The remote operator does everything else.
+
+## What the image does by itself
+
+After the stale Kubernetes node object is deleted and the replacement image is
+flashed, the booted Pi is expected to do the rest automatically:
+
+- bring up SSH on port `2277`
+- set the node hostname
+- bring up the node's static `192.168.22.x` address on `end0`
+- mount `/mnt/astreae` and `/mnt/asteria`
+- start `open-iscsi`
+- start `k3s-agent`
+- rejoin the cluster with the baked-in node token and server URL
+
+## Version clarification
+
+As of **March 31, 2026**, the live cluster reports:
+
+- control plane: `k3s v1.33.3+k3s1`
+- healthy rpi4 Longhorn workers (`titan-15`, `titan-17`): `k3s v1.31.5+k3s1`
+
+The `6.6.63` and `6.12.41` numbers are Linux kernel versions, not Kubernetes
+versions.
+
+Kubernetes' official version skew policy says a `kubelet` may be up to three
+minor versions older than the `kube-apiserver`, so `1.31` workers against a
+`1.33` control plane are supported today:
+
+- https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/
+
+The replacement images intentionally keep the rpi4 worker `k3s` version aligned
+with the healthy HDD-backed rpi4 workers to avoid introducing a Kubernetes minor
+change during node recovery.
+
+## Remote flashing flow
+
+Run these commands from the machine that has the `metis` repo and your SSH
+access.
+
+### 1. Build the image and delete the stale node object
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Development/metis
+./scripts/prepare_titan_rpi4_replacement.sh titan-13 titan-22
+./scripts/prepare_titan_rpi4_replacement.sh titan-19 titan-22
+```
+
+This does all of the following:
+
+- fetches the current cluster node token from `titan-0a`
+- deletes the stale Kubernetes `Node` object
+- builds the replacement image under `artifacts/`
+- copies it to `titan-22:/tmp/metis-images/`
+
+### 2. Ask the onsite helper to insert the SD card into `titan-22`
+
+When the card is inserted, identify the target device:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/remote_sd_candidates.sh titan-22
+```
+
+### 3. Flash the card remotely
+
+```bash
+./scripts/remote_flash_titan_image.sh titan-22 titan-13 /dev/sdX
+./scripts/remote_flash_titan_image.sh titan-22 titan-19 /dev/sdY
+```
+
+The remote machine will ask for its `sudo` password during the flash.
+
+### 4. Ask the onsite helper to swap the card and power-cycle the Pi
+
+That should be the end of the onsite work.
+
+### 5. Validate remotely
+
+```bash
+kubectl get nodes -w
+kubectl -n longhorn-system get nodes.longhorn.io
+kubectl -n longhorn-system get replicas.longhorn.io -o wide | grep 'titan-13\|titan-19'
+ssh titan-13
+ssh titan-19
+```
+
+## USB boot
+
+Raspberry Pi 4 supports USB mass storage boot via its EEPROM bootloader:
+
+- https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#usb-mass-storage-boot
+
+That means the same general recovery image approach can be used on a USB device
+instead of an SD card.
+
+For this cluster, the safer rollout is:
+
+1. first recover `titan-13` and `titan-19` to known-good SD cards
+2. pilot USB boot on one non-critical rpi4
+3. only then migrate the Longhorn HDD-backed rpi4s
+
+USB boot is attractive for wear reduction, but it adds EEPROM boot-order,
+adapter, and power-delivery variables. The emergency replacement process above
+should stay SD-based until the USB path has been tested on your actual hardware.

+
+# For software iscsi (iscsi_tcp) and iser (ib_iser), each session
+# has a thread used to transmit or queue data to the hardware. For
+# cxgb3i, you will get a thread per host.
+#
+# Setting the thread's priority to a lower value can lead to higher throughput
+# and lower latencies. The lowest value is -20. Setting the priority to
+# a higher value, can lead to reduced IO performance, but if you are seeing
+# the iscsi or scsi threads dominate the use of the CPU then you may want
+# to set this value higher.
+#
+# Note: For cxgb3i, you must set all sessions to the same value.
+# Otherwise the behavior is not defined.
+#
+# This is done by scanning /proc/PID/stat, and this doesn't work in
+# newer kernels (6.* on), as the workqueue transmit thread can be
+# passive, and not show in in the process table when not actively
+# doing work. If the proper workqueue process is found, and the
+# priority value is non-zero, then the priority of that process will
+# be modified when a session is created.
+#
+# Note: as mentioned above, the default value is now zero, which means
+# that we don't do anything to the transmit workqueue process priority,
+# by default. If you wish to get the previous behavior, set this value
+# to -20. In the future, this functionality will be removed, once this
+# functionality is no longer needed or works.

+#
+# This script umounts mounted iSCSI devices on shutdown, if possible.
+# It is supposed to catch most use cases but is not designed to work
+# for every corner-case. It handles LVM and multipath, but only if
+# one of the following stackings is used:
+#   LVM -> multipath -> iSCSI
+#   multipath -> iSCSI
+#   LVM -> iSCSI
+#   LVM -> LUKS -> multipath -> iSCSI
+#   LVM -> LUKS -> iSCSI
+#   LUKS -> LVM -> multipath -> iSCSI
+#   LUKS -> multipath -> iSCSI
+#   LUKS -> LVM -> iSCSI
+#   LUKS -> iSCSI
+# It does not try to umount anything belonging to any device that is
+# also used as a backing store for the root filesystem. Any iSCSI
+# device part of the backing store of the root filesystem will be noted
+# in /run/open-iscsi/shutdown-keep-sessions, so that the session not be
+# closed on shutdown.
+#
+# KNOWN ISSUES:
+#    - It doesn't handle submounts properly in all corner cases.
+#      Specifically, it doesn't handle a non-iSCSI mount below an
+#      iSCSI mount if it isn't also marked _netdev in /etc/fstab.
+#    - It does not handle other things device mapper can do, such as
+#      RAID, crypto, manual mappings of parts of disks, etc.
+#    - It doesn't try to kill programs still accessing those mounts,
+#      umount will just fail then.
+#    - It doesn't handle more complicated stackings such as overlayfs,
+#      FUSE filesystems, loop devices, etc.
+#    - It doesn't handle swap.
+#
+# LONG TERM GOAL:
+#    - In the long term, there should be a solution where for each part
+#      of the stacking (device mapper, LVM, overlayfs, etc.) explicit
+#      depdendencies are declared with the init system such that it can
+#      be automatically dismantled. That would make this script
+#      superfluous and also not be a layering violation, as it
+#      currently is.
