pve1.sweet.home is production; scripts/env.sh now also defines
PVE_TEST_HOST for a separate sandbox node, individually targetable via
--node/PROXMOX_HOST. Tooling defaults are unchanged (still pve1) -- the
new restriction (Claude defaults to pve-test unless explicitly told to
use pve1) is documented as policy in CLAUDE.md, not enforced in the
scripts.

scripts/ had grown to 10 top-level scripts covering three distinct
concerns (sops/age + SSH host-key management, Proxmox deployment, and
repo-wide bootstrap/CI) with no grouping. Move the key-management scripts
(backup-admin-key.sh, rotate-admin-key.sh, prepare-host-key.sh,
sync-host-keys.sh) into scripts/secrets/, and the Proxmox scripts
(create-proxmox-resource.sh, configure-nix-cache-client.sh) into
scripts/proxmox/; leave env.sh, codex-setup.sh, codex-maintenance.sh, and
bump-nixpkgs-release.sh at the top level (frequently hand-typed or pure
shared config) and scripts/lib/ as-is.
Updates every cross-reference: each moved script's repo_root computation
(now one directory deeper), shellcheck source= directives, inter-script
paths (create-proxmox-resource.sh's call into sync-host-keys.sh and its
remote bootstrap of configure-nix-cache-client.sh on the Proxmox node),
and every doc/module mention (CLAUDE.md's Scripts section reorganized to
match, README.md, docs/auto-installer.md, docs/proxmox-images.md,
modules/installer/common.nix, modules/platforms/lxc.nix). CI workflows
need no change -- they only invoke codex-maintenance.sh, which didn't
move. Verified via bash -n, shellcheck (no new warnings beyond the
pre-existing SC1091/SC2029/SC2095 baseline), and live dry-runs of
sync-host-keys.sh --all and create-proxmox-resource.sh --list from their
new paths.

create-proxmox-resource.sh no longer builds locally and scp's a
multi-gigabyte image over -- it now clones/pulls this repo onto the
Proxmox node itself (bootstrapping build tooling via the existing
codex-setup.sh on first use) and runs the nix build / disko image
script there, staging the result straight into the node's own import
directory. host-keys/ (gitignored) is copied over separately since a
git pull doesn't carry it. --image still uploads an explicit local
file for the case where you don't want a build at all.

Two compounding bugs, confirmed live on the running lxc-docker
container (vmid 102 on pve.sweet.home):
1. x-systemd.automount never works inside any Linux container --
systemd logs "Starting of <unit>.automount unsupported" for every
share and never mounts them. modules/docker/mount-data.nix and
modules/raspi/mount-data.nix now key off config.boot.isContainer
(set true by nixpkgs' proxmox-lxc.nix) to mount eagerly with
`nofail` there instead, while VM-based docker targets keep automount
unchanged.
2. The container's Proxmox `features` never included `mount=nfs`, so
AppArmor blanket-denies the nfs/rpc_pipefs mount syscalls NFS
needs ("permission denied"). scripts/env.sh's
PROXMOX_DEFAULT_LXC_FEATURES now includes mount=nfs;nfs4 for future
lxc-* containers -- the semicolon required quoting the --features
value in create-proxmox-resource.sh's remote pct-create command,
since it's sent as a raw string for the remote shell to parse and an
unquoted `;` would be read as a command separator.
The already-running container needs a matching `pct set --features`
plus a restart to pick this up -- that's an operator step outside this
repo.
The reachability check used `cat < /dev/tcp/${NIX_CACHE_HOST}/22`, which
blocks forever reading for EOF that never comes -- sshd sends its banner
and then holds the connection open waiting for the client to speak next.
Every single check hit the 3s timeout and reported "unreachable"
unconditionally, regardless of whether the remote builder was actually up.
Confirmed live: a plain TCP connect (`exec 3<>/dev/tcp/...`, no read)
returns in ~60ms against a healthy nix-cache instead of always timing out.
Fixing that exposed a second, previously-dormant bug: `printf -v
NIX_EXTRA_OPTS '%q ' "${NIX_OPTS[@]}"` on a genuinely empty NIX_OPTS array
still runs one format pass and yields the literal `'' ` rather than an
empty string. A subprocess (e.g. sync-host-keys.sh) reusing this
process's decision via `eval "NIX_OPTS=(${NIX_EXTRA_OPTS})"` then rebuilt
a 1-element array holding an empty string instead of a 0-element array,
which broke `nix-shell "${NIX_OPTS[@]}" -p <pkg>` with a bogus positional
argument the moment NIX_OPTS was legitimately empty (nix-cache reachable)
-- something the first bug had made impossible to ever hit before.
Also adds a couple of retries (1s apart) to both checks as a secondary
safety net against genuine multi-second blips, on top of fixing the
checks themselves.

Found and fixed live against a real test container (VMID 100, lxc-nix-cache
on pve.sweet.home) after the previous pct-restore-to-pct-create fix still
produced a container that booted into garbled console output:
1. pct create's own CLI default for --unprivileged is privileged (unlike
the web UI, whose checkbox defaults the other way), but
modules/platforms/lxc.nix sets proxmoxLXC.privileged = false, so the
image assumes it's running unprivileged. Real mismatch -- now passes
--unprivileged 1 explicitly.
2. The actual root cause of the garbled console: modern (v247+) systemd
routinely uses nested user namespaces and credential mounts (even
plain getty units, via LoadCredential=-style mechanisms), which
AppArmor's default LXC confinement denies without --features
nesting=1,keyctl=1. Confirmed via the host's kernel audit log: every
getty unit was crash-looping on a denied /run/credentials/* mount
every ~3s, and core services like nsncd failed userns_create the same
way -- the system never finished activating. Fixed live (pct set +
restart on the running test container) before committing the script
change: systemctl is-system-running went from never completing to
"running" with zero failed units.
3. --memory doesn't touch swap -- confirmed live it silently stayed at
Proxmox's own 512M default with --memory 2048. Now defaults --swap to
whatever --memory resolves to.
docs/auto-installer.md's manual pct create walkthrough gets the same
fixes, with the "why" for each flag, since a human following it by hand
would hit the identical bugs.

Two independent problems found while actually running the script:
1. nix build/nix-shell retry each unreachable substituter/builder up to
5x with backoff, per store path -- with nix-cache down this compounds
into minutes of noise. scripts/env.sh gains nix_extra_opts(), which
probes http://nix-cache and nixremote@nix-cache:22 once via plain
curl/TCP (bypassing Nix's own retry logic entirely -- confirmed
nix store ping still retries 5x even with a short connect-timeout)
and exports the decision so create-proxmox-resource.sh and the
sync-host-keys.sh subprocess it shells out to both reuse it instead
of probing independently.
2. The actual failure: "archive contains no configuration file". pct
restore expects a vzdump backup archive with embedded config;
config.system.build.tarball is a plain CT template tarball -- wrong
Proxmox mechanism entirely. Fixed to pct create against it as a vztmpl
template instead, uploaded to /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ rather than
/var/lib/vz/dump/. This same wrong claim had propagated into
docs/auto-installer.md, README.md, and CLAUDE.md from when the script
was first written -- corrected everywhere.
Also: checks for an already-uploaded image on the node (fixed
<flake_target>.tar.xz/.raw naming) before building, skipping build+upload
entirely if found (--force-rebuild to always rebuild).

sync-host-keys.sh: generates/registers SSH host keys and their
.sops.yaml/secrets/*.yaml recipients for flake targets, idempotently.
--all, <target>, --remove, --regenerate-all-keys, all with --dry-run
(verified zero-side-effect via a sandboxed git-status check across every
mode). Only ever touches anchors with a corresponding host-keys/ file --
&admin and any hand-registered real-host anchor are never listed,
removed, or regenerated. Supersedes running prepare-host-key.sh one host
at a time for any target that already has a flake entry.
create-proxmox-resource.sh: builds a lxc-*/proxmox-* target's
tarball/disk image and creates it on a real Proxmox node, or reconfigures
an existing resource's cores/memory/disk (--modify, always requires
typing the VMID back to confirm). Refuses to create a new resource for a
VMID that already exists, and refuses to duplicate a host identity that
already has a real deployment elsewhere (variables.nix's new
deployedTargets, checked by hostName so it also catches cross-platform
duplicates) unless --allow-duplicate-host is passed. --dry-run throughout.
scripts/env.sh centralizes the Proxmox connection config both scripts
(and future ones) share. Also fixes an unrelated gap found along the way:
proxmox-* Disko image builds write their .raw file straight into the
repo root, and .gitignore never covered it.
