Use the helper script to deploy or generate commands. The script uses explicit Tailscale IPs for remote targets (piha, chelsty, vps) and runs locally for solaria.
- **Redis empty after compose down**: The `agent-system-redis` on PIHA uses transient storage if not configured with a volume. If it restarts, agents must republish their state (they do this automatically every `CHECK_INTERVAL`).
- **Secrets**: `.env` files and local secrets are not committed to the repo. Ensure `MQTT_HOST` and other specific secrets are set via overrides if needed.
- **Telegram**: Telegram bot notifications can remain disabled if `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` is absent.
- **Docker Socket**: If the agent reports `unavailable` for Docker, ensure `/var/run/docker.sock` is mounted and the user has permissions.
