- 8 HA event types mapped to existing action types - ha_websocket_dead → container_restart (homeassistant), 30-min cooldown - 6 events → alert_only (entity_unavailable, integration_failed, automation_failing, update_available, recorder_lag, system_health_degraded), 1-hour cooldown - ha_websocket_recovered → cancels matching pending container_restart - state-aware suppression: skip HA events when homeassistant has an active containers_not_running incident < 5 min ago (avoids alert storms during HA restarts/updates) - location_tag preserved through action pipeline for per-house telegram alerts - executor: alert_only acknowledged as no-op success - 18 tests covering all 8 event types, suppression, cooldown, dedup, location_tag, recovery cancellation - CLAUDE.md: supervisor event routing table added Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
What This Repo Is
GitOps-lite orchestration for a distributed homelab. The repo is the source of truth for infrastructure definitions; runtime state lives at /opt/homelab/ on each execution node and is never committed.
Node Roles
| Host | Role |
|---|---|
| SATURN | Primary control node — only node where commits are made |
| SOLARIA | GPU/compute/AI workloads |
| PIHA | Infra, monitoring |
| VPS | Public ingress, reverse proxy, control plane host |
| CHELSTY-INFRA | LTE edge hypervisor (site: chelsty); Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto, stability-agent — offline-first |
| CHELSTY-HA | LTE Home Assistant VM (site: chelsty); connects to CHELSTY-INFRA MQTT broker — offline-first |
All nodes communicate over Tailscale. CHELSTY-INFRA and CHELSTY-HA have an intermittent LTE uplink; their services must never depend on SATURN, VPS, or Forgejo at runtime. Full node capabilities: hosts/<node>/capabilities.yaml.
Deployment
scripts/deploy/deploy.sh # fresh deploy on current node
scripts/deploy/deploy.sh --resume # resume after interruption
scripts/deploy/deploy.sh --stage verify # specific stage only
scripts/deploy/deploy.sh --service mosquitto # specific service only
./scripts/deploy/deploy-control-plane.sh --ssh # SATURN/SOLARIA → VPS
./scripts/deploy/deploy-node.sh chelsty-infra # CHELSTY nodes (individually)
./scripts/bootstrap/prepare-node.sh # general node bootstrap
./scripts/bootstrap/chelsty-runtime.sh # CHELSTY-specific bootstrap
Pipeline stages: prepare → validate → deploy → verify → diagnose (on failure) → complete. Stage state persisted in /opt/homelab/state/deploy/.
Service Structure
Every service must follow this layout:
services/<service>/
├── docker-compose.yml
├── service.yaml # Machine-readable contract (primary source of truth for agents)
├── README.md
├── env.example # Template — never commit actual secrets
└── healthcheck.sh # Returns 0 (healthy) or 1 (unhealthy)
service.yaml defines owner_node, exposure, dependencies, healthcheck, restart_policy, persistence.paths, and runtime.env_vars. This is what AI agents read to understand how to manage a service.
Host-specific runtime config and secrets live at /opt/homelab/config/<service>/ on the target node (not in Git). Docker Compose overrides are version-controlled at hosts/<node>/runtime/<service>/docker-compose.override.yml in this repo and applied during deployment.
Agent System Architecture
The platform uses a multi-agent model with human-in-the-loop for destructive actions:
- Stability Agent (
services/stability-agent/) — Per-node watchdog. Monitors Docker containers, disk, Tailscale, MQTT. Emits filesystem events. Does NOT restart services autonomously. - Observer (
services/control-plane/src/) — Synthesizes world state from events into/opt/homelab/world/{nodes,services,deployments,incidents}.json. - Supervisor — Detects drift between desired state (from
hosts/*/services.yaml) and actual state (from Observer output). Writespendingaction JSON files. - Executor — Executes actions only after they transition to
approved. - Operator UI + Telegram Bot — Operators review and approve/reject pending actions.
Action approval flow
Agent → /opt/homelab/actions/pending/<id>.json
→ Telegram notification → Operator approves
→ /opt/homelab/actions/approved/<id>.json
→ Executor runs → completed / failed
Agents must never execute destructive actions (restarts, deploys, config changes) without a corresponding approved action file.
Event System
Events are append-only JSON lines at /opt/homelab/events/YYYY-MM-DD/<node>/events.jsonl.
Emit via scripts/lib/events.sh (shell) or scripts/lib/events.py (Python).
Normalized event types: deployment_started/completed/failed, service_unhealthy/recovered, node_offline/online, healthcheck_failed, remediation_started/completed.

HA events are routed directly from the events directory by the supervisor (not via world-state drift loop) to avoid conflicts with stability-agent's independent container health tracking. HA events are suppressed if homeassistant had a containers_not_running incident within the last 5 minutes (planned restart/update in progress).
Discovery Entry Points for Agents
When exploring the system, use these files in order:
inventory/topology.yaml— node list, roles, mesh typehosts/<node>/capabilities.yaml— hardware and software constraintshosts/<node>/services.yaml— desired services and exposure classes for that hostservices/<service>/service.yaml— operational contract for a service
CHELSTY-Specific Rules
- Zigbee coordinator is SLZB-06U over TCP (
192.168.1.105:6638,ezspadapter). Never use/dev/ttyUSB0. - CHELSTY nodes run docker-compose v1 (1.29.2) — use
docker-compose(hyphenated), notdocker compose. - Critical backup sets: HA config+data, Zigbee2MQTT config+db+network key, Mosquitto config+persistence, SLZB-06U coordinator state.
Runtime Path Conventions
/opt/homelab/ layout on each node:
data/<service>/— persistent volumesconfig/<service>/— secrets and host-local overrides (not in Git)logs/<service>/— service logsstate/— deployment stage markers, agent heartbeatsevents/— append-only event storeworld/— Observer output (synthesized state)actions/— pending / approved / running / completed / failed
Naming Conventions
- Hosts: ALL CAPS (
SATURN,PIHA) - Services: kebab-case (
stability-agent,zigbee2mqtt) - Container names must match service names
- Always
