The file covered the inference stack in detail and said almost nothing about
the repo it now lives in, so every session rediscovered the same handful of
conventions.
Adds the four hosts with their addresses, roles and package managers --
including that sctfw004 is US-government adjacent and stays on OpenAI and
local models only -- and the five things here that actually cost an hour: the
allowlist .gitignore, and why a new directory being invisible to git is
expected rather than broken; secrets living only in an untracked
~/.secrets.zsh and never in a tracked zshenv; ConditionHost as the guard that
keeps a one-machine timer from firing on all four; and dots / pkg-snapshot as
the maintenance pair, with the deliberate silence of dots --nag explained.
Also notes that ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md is a symlink into this repo, since
editing it silently edits tracked config, and sharpens the .pre-<thing> note:
that convention is for the untracked ~/config and ~/docs trees, where it is
the only backup those files get. Inside a tracked repo git already is the
backup and .gitignore excludes the pattern anyway.
