Fixes the "dead node shown NOMINAL" silent outage: node status was set only by events and never expired, so a node that crashed/lost connectivity stayed "online" forever (chelsty-infra was online for 16d, piha ~6d). The only thing that flipped status to offline was a node_offline event, which an unreachable node can never emit. Now node status is derived from freshness (now - last_seen), recomputed every observer cycle (incl. cycles with no new events): - always-on: fresh <=180s, stale 180-600s, dead >600s (3x the 60s heartbeat) - remote/LTE (chelsty-*): fresh <=900s, stale 900-3600s, dead >3600s Thresholds + tier logic live in ONE shared helper, services/control-plane/src/ liveness.py, imported by the observer and both operator UIs (bind-mounted into the agent-system webui image). No 3x copy. Transitions are not silent: the observer emits node_stale / node_offline / node_online (recovery) events tagged source=observer (skipped on re-ingest so they never reset last_seen), routed by the supervisor to alert_only actions. Read-time safety net: both UIs recompute liveness from last_seen at request time, so a stalled observer still surfaces dead nodes. Services inherit their node's liveness (cascade, variant B) without mutating services.json. Replaces the earlier binary NODE_OFFLINE_TTL_SECS flip. Tests: liveness unit tests, observer 3-state + transitions/recovery/baseline + self-event skip, operator_ui read-time net + cascade, supervisor node-event routing. 89 passed. docker compose config valid for both stacks.

Homelab Codex
GitOps-lite orchestration for a distributed homelab environment.
Architecture
The homelab consists of several nodes connected via a Tailscale internal mesh.
| Host | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SATURN | Primary Node | Development, orchestration, and git source of truth (commit node). |
| SOLARIA | Compute Node | GPU, inference, and heavy compute workloads. |
| PIHA | Infra Node | Core infrastructure services, automation, and monitoring. |
| VPS | Edge Node | Public ingress, reverse proxy, and edge services. |
Agent System
The homelab uses a multi-agent orchestration model with human-in-the-loop for destructive actions:
| Agent | Node | Role |
|---|---|---|
| stability-agent | all nodes | Per-node watchdog — monitors Docker, disk, Tailscale, MQTT; emits events |
| node-agent | all nodes | Publishes container health events to Redis pub/sub |
| observer | VPS | Synthesizes world state from events into /opt/homelab/world/*.json |
| supervisor | VPS | Detects drift between desired and actual state; writes pending actions |
| planner-agent | SOLARIA | LLM-powered diagnosis — listens to Redis, proposes remediation actions |
| executor | VPS | Executes actions only after operator approval |
| operator-ui + telegram-bot | VPS / PIHA | Operator reviews and approves/rejects pending actions |
Action approval flow: pending/ → operator approves → approved/ → executor runs.
