@@ -30,9 +30,9 @@ sourced as needed.
 | `lib/git-creds.sh` | Shared git credential helper configuration. `configure_git_creds([HOME_DIR] [RUN_AS_CMD])` — writes a static credential helper script and configures git globally to use password-based HTTP auth (Forgejo 11.x rejects API tokens for `git push`, #361). **Retry on cold boot (#741)**: resolves bot username from `FORGE_TOKEN` with 5 retries (exponential backoff 1-5s); fails loudly and returns 1 if Forgejo is unreachable — never falls back to a wrong hardcoded default (exports `BOT_USER` on success). `repair_baked_cred_urls([--as RUN_AS_CMD] DIR ...)` — rewrites any git remote URLs that have credentials baked in to use clean URLs instead; uses `safe.directory` bypass for root-owned repos (#671). Requires `FORGE_PASS`, `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`. | entrypoints (agents, edge) |
 | `lib/ops-setup.sh` | `setup_ops_repo()` — creates ops repo on Forgejo if it doesn't exist, configures bot collaborators, clones/initializes ops repo locally, seeds directory structure (vault, knowledge, evidence, sprints). Evidence subdirectories seeded: engagement/, red-team/, holdout/, evolution/, user-test/. Also seeds sprints/ for architect output. Exports `_ACTUAL_OPS_SLUG`. `migrate_ops_repo(ops_root, [primary_branch])` — idempotent migration helper that seeds missing directories and .gitkeep files on existing ops repos (pre-#407 deployments). | bin/disinto (init) |
 | `lib/ci-setup.sh` | `_install_cron_impl()` — installs crontab entries for bare-metal deployments (compose mode uses polling loop instead). `_create_forgejo_oauth_app()` — generic helper to create an OAuth2 app on Forgejo (shared by Woodpecker and chat). `_create_woodpecker_oauth_impl()` — creates Woodpecker OAuth2 app (thin wrapper). `_create_chat_oauth_impl()` — creates disinto-chat OAuth2 app, writes `CHAT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`/`CHAT_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` to `.env` (#708). `_generate_woodpecker_token_impl()` — auto-generates WOODPECKER_TOKEN via OAuth2 flow. `_activate_woodpecker_repo_impl()` — activates repo in Woodpecker. All gated by `_load_ci_context()` which validates required env vars. | bin/disinto (init) |
-| `lib/generators.sh` | Template generation for `disinto init`: `generate_compose()` — docker-compose.yml (uses `codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:11.0` tag; adds `security_opt: [apparmor:unconfined]` to all services for rootless container compatibility; Forgejo includes a healthcheck so dependent services use `condition: service_healthy` — fixes cold-start races, #665; adds `chat` service block with isolated `chat-config` named volume and `CHAT_HISTORY_DIR` bind-mount for per-user NDJSON history persistence (#710); injects `FORWARD_AUTH_SECRET` for Caddy↔chat defense-in-depth auth (#709); cost-cap env vars `CHAT_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_HOUR`, `CHAT_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_DAY`, `CHAT_MAX_TOKENS_PER_DAY` (#711); subdomain fallback comment for `EDGE_TUNNEL_FQDN_*` vars (#713); all `depends_on` now use `condition: service_healthy/started` instead of bare service names; all services now include `restart: unless-stopped` including the edge service — #768; agents service now uses `image: ghcr.io/disinto/agents:${DISINTO_IMAGE_TAG:-latest}` instead of `build:` (#429); `WOODPECKER_PLUGINS_PRIVILEGED` env var added to woodpecker service (#779); agents-llama conditional block gated on `ENABLE_LLAMA_AGENT=1` (#769); `agents-llama-all` compose service (profile `agents-llama-all`, all 7 roles: review,dev,gardener,architect,planner,predictor,supervisor) added by #801; agents service gains volume mounts for `./projects`, `./.env`, `./state`), `generate_caddyfile()` — Caddyfile (routes: `/forge/*` → forgejo:3000, `/woodpecker/*` → woodpecker:8000, `/staging/*` → staging:80; `/chat/login` and `/chat/oauth/callback` bypass `forward_auth` so unauthenticated users can reach the OAuth flow; `/chat/*` gated by `forward_auth` on `chat:8080/chat/auth/verify` which stamps `X-Forwarded-User` (#709); root `/` redirects to `/forge/`), `generate_staging_index()` — staging index, `generate_deploy_pipelines()` — Woodpecker deployment pipeline configs.

 | `lib/sprint-filer.sh` | Post-merge sub-issue filer for sprint PRs. Invoked by the `.woodpecker/ops-filer.yml` pipeline after a sprint PR merges to ops repo `main`. Parses `<!-- filer:begin --> ... <!-- filer:end -->` blocks from sprint PR bodies to extract sub-issue definitions, creates them on the project repo using `FORGE_FILER_TOKEN` (narrow-scope `filer-bot` identity with `issues:write` only), adds `in-progress` label to the parent vision issue, and handles vision lifecycle closure when all sub-issues are closed. Uses `filer_api_all()` for paginated fetches. Idempotent: uses `<!-- decomposed-from: #<vision>, sprint: <slug>, id: <id> -->` markers to skip already-filed issues. Requires `FORGE_FILER_TOKEN`, `FORGE_API`, `FORGE_API_BASE`, `FORGE_OPS_REPO`. | `.woodpecker/ops-filer.yml` (CI pipeline on ops repo) |
 | `lib/hire-agent.sh` | `disinto_hire_an_agent()` — user creation, `.profile` repo setup, formula copying, branch protection, and state marker creation for hiring a new agent. Requires `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FACTORY_ROOT`, `PROJECT_NAME`. Extracted from `bin/disinto`. | bin/disinto (hire) |
 | `lib/release.sh` | `disinto_release()` — vault TOML creation, branch setup on ops repo, PR creation, and auto-merge request for a versioned release. `_assert_release_globals()` validates required env vars. Requires `FORGE_URL`, `FORGE_TOKEN`, `FORGE_OPS_REPO`, `FACTORY_ROOT`, `PRIMARY_BRANCH`. Extracted from `bin/disinto`. | bin/disinto (release) |
-| `lib/hvault.sh` | HashiCorp Vault helper module. `hvault_kv_get(PATH, [KEY])` — read KV v2 secret, optionally extract one key. `hvault_kv_put(PATH, KEY=VAL ...)` — write KV v2 secret. `hvault_kv_list(PATH)` — list keys at a KV path. `hvault_get_or_empty(PATH)` — GET /v1/PATH; 200→raw body, 404→empty, else structured error + return 1 (used by sync scripts to distinguish "absent, create" from hard failure without tripping errexit, #881). `hvault_policy_apply(NAME, FILE)` — idempotent policy upsert. `hvault_jwt_login(ROLE, JWT)` — exchange JWT for short-lived token. `hvault_token_lookup()` — returns TTL/policies/accessor for current token. All functions use `VAULT_ADDR` + `VAULT_TOKEN` from env (fallback: `/etc/vault.d/root.token`), emit structured JSON errors to stderr on failure. Tests: `tests/lib-hvault.bats` (requires `vault server -dev`). | `tools/vault-apply-policies.sh`, `tools/vault-apply-roles.sh`, `lib/init/nomad/vault-nomad-auth.sh` |
-| `lib/init/nomad/` | Nomad+Vault installer scripts. `cluster-up.sh` — idempotent Step-0 orchestrator that runs all steps in order (installs packages, writes HCL, enables systemd units, unseals Vault); uses `poll_until_healthy()` helper for deduped readiness polling. `install.sh` — installs pinned Nomad+Vault apt packages. `vault-init.sh` — initializes Vault (unseal keys → `/etc/vault.d/`), creates dev-persisted unseal unit. `lib-systemd.sh` — shared systemd unit helpers. `systemd-nomad.sh`, `systemd-vault.sh` — write and enable service units. `vault-nomad-auth.sh` — Step-2 script that enables Vault's JWT auth at path `jwt-nomad`, writes the JWKS/algs config pointing at Nomad's workload-identity signer, delegates role sync to `tools/vault-apply-roles.sh`, installs `/etc/nomad.d/server.hcl`, and SIGHUPs `nomad.service` if the file changed (#881). Idempotent: each step checks current state before acting. Sourced and called by `cluster-up.sh`; not sourced by agents. | `bin/disinto init --backend=nomad` |
+| `lib/hvault.sh` | HashiCorp Vault helper module. `hvault_kv_get(PATH, [KEY])` — read KV v2 secret, optionally extract one key. `hvault_kv_put(PATH, KEY=VAL ...)` — write KV v2 secret. `hvault_kv_list(PATH)` — list keys at a KV path. `hvault_get_or_empty(PATH)` — GET /v1/PATH; 200→raw body, 404→empty, else structured error + return 1 (used by sync scripts to distinguish "absent, create" from hard failure without tripping errexit, #881). `hvault_ensure_kv_v2(MOUNT, [LOG_PREFIX])` — idempotent KV v2 mount assertion: enables mount if absent, fails loudly if present as wrong type/version. Extracted from all `vault-seed-*.sh` scripts to eliminate dup-detector violations. Respects `DRY_RUN=1`. `hvault_policy_apply(NAME, FILE)` — idempotent policy upsert. `hvault_jwt_login(ROLE, JWT)` — exchange JWT for short-lived token. `hvault_token_lookup()` — returns TTL/policies/accessor for current token. `_hvault_seed_key(PATH, KEY, [GENERATOR])` — seed one KV key if absent; reads existing data and merges to preserve sibling keys (KV v2 replaces atomically); returns 0=created, 1=unchanged, 2=API error (#992).

+| `lib/init/nomad/` | Nomad+Vault installer scripts. `cluster-up.sh` — idempotent Step-0 orchestrator that runs all steps in order (installs packages, writes HCL, enables systemd units, unseals Vault); uses `poll_until_healthy()` helper for deduped readiness polling; `HOST_VOLUME_DIRS` array now includes `/srv/disinto/docker` (for staging file-server, S5.2, #989, #992). `install.sh` — installs pinned Nomad+Vault apt packages. `vault-init.sh` — initializes Vault (unseal keys → `/etc/vault.d/`), creates dev-persisted unseal unit. `lib-systemd.sh` — shared systemd unit helpers. `systemd-nomad.sh`, `systemd-vault.sh` — write and enable service units. `vault-nomad-auth.sh` — Step-2 script that enables Vault's JWT auth at path `jwt-nomad`, writes the JWKS/algs config pointing at Nomad's workload-identity signer, delegates role sync to `tools/vault-apply-roles.sh`, installs `/etc/nomad.d/server.hcl`, and SIGHUPs `nomad.service` if the file changed (#881). `wp-oauth-register.sh` — S3.3 script that creates the Woodpecker OAuth2 app in Forgejo and stores `forgejo_client`/`forgejo_secret` in Vault KV v2 at `kv/disinto/shared/woodpecker`; idempotent (skips if app or secrets already present); called by `bin/disinto --with woodpecker`. `deploy.sh` — S4 dependency-ordered Nomad job deploy + health-wait; takes a list of jobspec basenames, submits each to Nomad and polls until healthy before proceeding to the next; supports `--dry-run` and per-job timeout overrides via `JOB_READY_TIMEOUT_<JOBNAME>`; global default timeout `JOB_READY_TIMEOUT_SECS` is 360s (raised from 240s for chat cold-start, #1036); invoked by `bin/disinto --with <svc>` and `cluster-up.sh`; deploy order now covers staging, chat, edge (S5.5, #992). Idempotent: each step checks current state before acting. Sourced and called by `cluster-up.sh`; not sourced by agents. | `bin/disinto init --backend=nomad` |

+# Part of the Nomad+Vault migration (S3.3, issue #936). Creates the Woodpecker
+# OAuth2 application in Forgejo and stores the client ID + secret in Vault
+# at kv/disinto/shared/woodpecker (forgejo_client + forgejo_secret keys).
+#
+# The script is idempotent — re-running after success is a no-op.
+#
+# Scope:
+#   - Checks if OAuth2 app named 'woodpecker' already exists via GET
+#     /api/v1/user/applications/oauth2
+#   - If not: POST /api/v1/user/applications/oauth2 with name=woodpecker,
+#     redirect_uris=["http://localhost:8000/authorize"]
+#   - Writes forgejo_client + forgejo_secret to Vault KV
+#
+# Idempotency contract:
+#   - OAuth2 app 'woodpecker' exists → skip creation, log
+#     "[wp-oauth] woodpecker OAuth app already registered"
+#   - forgejo_client + forgejo_secret already in Vault → skip write, log
+#     "[wp-oauth] credentials already in Vault"
+#
+# Preconditions:
+#   - Forgejo reachable at $FORGE_URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:3000)
+#   - Forgejo admin token at $FORGE_TOKEN (from Vault kv/disinto/shared/forge/token
+#     or env fallback)
+#   - Vault reachable + unsealed at $VAULT_ADDR
+#   - VAULT_TOKEN set (env) or /etc/vault.d/root.token readable
+#
+# Requires:
+#   - curl, jq
+#
+# Usage:
+#   lib/init/nomad/wp-oauth-register.sh

+# Host networking (issue #1031):

+#   127.0.0.1:<port> (forgejo :3000, woodpecker :8000, chat :8080).
+#   Staging uses Nomad service discovery (S5-fix-7, issue #1018).
+#
+# Host_volume contract:
+#   This job mounts caddy-data from nomad/client.hcl. Path
+#   /srv/disinto/caddy-data is created by lib/init/nomad/cluster-up.sh before
+#   any job references it. Keep the `source = "caddy-data"` below in sync
+#   with the host_volume stanza in client.hcl.
+#
+# Build step (S5.1):
+#   docker/edge/Dockerfile is custom (adds bash, jq, curl, git, docker-cli,
+#   python3, openssh-client, autossh to caddy:latest). Build as
+#   disinto/edge:local using the same pattern as disinto/agents:local.

+# (no old-stack secrets to import) still has per-key values for
+# CHAT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, CHAT_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, and FORWARD_AUTH_SECRET.

+# scripts are idempotent in the sense that re-running never rotates an
+# existing non-empty key.
+#
+# Uses _hvault_seed_key (lib/hvault.sh) for each key — the helper reads

+# atomically).
