The old proxmox-nix-cache VM was destroyed and nix-cache is being
redeployed as an LXC container going forward. Without this update,
create-proxmox-resource.sh's duplicate-host check (which only reads this
static list, not live Proxmox state) kept refusing to create
lxc-nix-cache even though nothing named nix-cache actually exists on the
node anymore.

New build type dedicated to Tailscale exit-node capability, wired up for
linode/proxmox/lxc like every other build type (the lxc variant is the one
actually intended for deployment). Kept separate from the "server" host
rather than bundling exit-node capability onto it.
Trimmed modules/tailscale/exit-node.nix down to pure exit-node behavior:
dropped the old --advertise-routes=${vars.lanCidr} bundling (meaningless
for a Linode-hosted VPS with no path to the LAN), and switched
extraUpFlags -> extraSetFlags. Confirmed against nixpkgs' tailscale.nix
that extraUpFlags is only applied by tailscaled-autoconnect, which itself
only runs when services.tailscale.authKeyFile is set -- nothing in this
repo sets one, so the old flags would never have actually been applied.
extraSetFlags runs unconditionally via tailscaled-set on every boot, so
--advertise-exit-node self-reapplies once the operator has done the
one-time manual `tailscale up` auth.
Verified: all three new targets eval cleanly, nixpkgs-fmt/statix clean,
and a dry-run build of lxc-tailscale-exit-node's tarball resolves its full
closure including tailscaled-set.service.

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.

Adds nested vars.nfsShares (subpath + mountpoint per dataset, previously
duplicated independently across server.nix's NFS exports, mount-data.nix's
client mounts, docker.nix's tmpfiles rules, traefik's log rotation path,
and hosts/server/host.nix's beszel config), vars.ports (every literal port
in modules/ and hosts/, kept as separate entries per service even where
numbers coincide so changing one can't silently change another), plus
vars.proxmoxImageSize, vars.nixCacheGcMaxAge, vars.traefikLogRotate, and
raspberryPiHost/raspiNfsPath/raspiMountpoint for the Pi's own NFS export.
Also fixes docker.nix/minimal.nix/gui.nix hardcoding the literal "nixos"
username instead of the existing vars.primaryUser, found during the sweep.
system.stateVersion is deliberately left untouched everywhere -- per
NixOS's own docs that value must stay fixed from first install, not
follow any shared variable.

Linode provisions and sizes /dev/sda (root) and /dev/sdb (swap) itself
as whole, unpartitioned block devices before the OS ever boots.
modules/disko/linode.nix declares them with destroy = false (skips
Disko's wipe stage for these disks entirely) and a bare filesystem/swap
content type matching that existing layout, so re-running it against an
already-provisioned disk only mkfs/mkswaps if blkid shows it isn't
formatted yet -- never repartitions or destroys data.
With every host reachable through the installer menu now carrying a
Disko config, auto-install.sh no longer needs to probe the flake and
branch between `disko --mode destroy,format,mount` and a bind-mount
fallback -- it just always runs Disko.

Both existed only so the installer could boot as an LXC container and
nixos-install some other host from within it, but lxc-* targets are
already excluded from the install menu (nixos-install can't touch its
own running root filesystem), and now have their own direct tarball
path anyway. That left the installer's own LXC form with no real use
case, and packages.all with only two members worth bundling.

Both check-nixos.yml workflows (GitHub + Gitea) now call
scripts/codex-maintenance.sh instead of a hand-rolled eval-only loop,
closing a real gap: CI previously enforced none of the secret grep,
nixpkgs-fmt, or statix checks that codex-maintenance.sh already runs
locally — nothing was stopping that from regressing. One script now
backs both, instead of two copies that can drift from each other.
codex-maintenance.sh itself is extended to cover buildable surface
that wasn't validated anywhere before: packages.x86_64-linux.*, plus
config.system.build.tarball (lxc-* hosts) and
config.system.build.diskoImagesScript (proxmox-*, excluding the
installer's own proxmox-lxc target, which has no disko config).
Also:
- scripts/prepare-host-key.sh: dropped the redundant
[path-to-nixos-repo] parameter — it always defaults to the repo the
script itself lives in now, so a second argument never made sense
after the nix-auto-installer migration.
- Removed prepare.sh (dead pre-disko manual parted/mkfs/mkswap
partitioning, fully superseded) and
scripts/create-linode-installer-disk.sh (incomplete draft for an
abandoned dd-via-rescue-mode approach; Linode hosts already deploy
fine through the normal auto-installer flow).
- docs/pxe-boot.md: fixed a stale `nixosConfigurations.pxe-boot` eval
command (pre-refactor flat name, not a real flake attribute
anymore) and added a cross-reference to docs/auto-installer.md.
- CLAUDE.md/README.md: full documentation pass reconciling this
session's changes — modules/installer/, modules/pxe-boot/, the
LXC/Proxmox image-building deployment paths, corrected the
password-hash/SSH-key locations in the safety-rules section (both
had drifted to reference files/paths that no longer exist), and
added session-workflow guidance to prefer targeted host evals over
full-repo sweeps for incremental changes (explicitly scoped to
interactive sessions, not CI).

Finishes the nix-auto-installer migration: scripts/prepare-host-key.sh
and the local host-keys/ directory (gitignored, private key material,
never committed — moved as plain files, not through git history)
weren't carried over in the initial migration.
Also implements automatic key staging, replacing the manual
scp-after-boot step:
- modules/installer/host-keys.nix reads host-keys/ via
builtins.getEnv, which Nix silently returns as "" under normal
(non---impure) evaluation — the module is a no-op by default, safe
for CI, until explicitly opted into:
NIXOS_HOST_KEYS_DIR=$(pwd)/host-keys nix build .#iso --impure
When built this way every key present gets baked into the image at
/etc/host-keys/, and auto-install.sh installs whichever one matches
the flake target selected at install time — no manual per-host scp.
- This deliberately includes the PXE netboot variant, even though
pxe-boot serves it unauthenticated over LAN HTTP: accepted
explicitly as a reasonable trade-off for a network that sits behind
LAN-only infrastructure, not the open internet. auto-install.sh
still falls back to /root/host-keys (manual scp) if a key isn't
baked in, so images built without --impure keep working exactly as
before.
- docs/auto-installer.md replaces nix-auto-installer's README,
updated for in-repo paths and the new build flow.
Verified: normal `nix eval` (no --impure) evaluates identically across
all 19 nixosConfigurations + 4 packages with zero host-keys/* entries
(CI-unaffected); with --impure + the env var set, all three installer
variants (installer/ISO, proxmox-lxc, pxe) correctly embed every key
in host-keys/.

One file (variables.nix) holding every value that was previously
hardcoded and repeated across modules: LAN domain/CIDR, home/tailnet
domains, cross-host references (nix-cache substituter hostname, NFS
server hostname, remote-builder user), PXE/PBS IPs, timezone, and the
primary username.
Wired in via flake.nix's specialArgs (and home-manager's
extraSpecialArgs for the two home.nix files), so any module picks it
up by just adding `vars` to its function arguments — no explicit
import needed. Two hosts (nix-cache, server) now derive their own
networking.hostName from the same variable other hosts use to reach
them, so there's exactly one place to change either identifier.
Purely mechanical: every substituted value matches what was already
there, confirmed by identical toplevel .drv paths for all 17 targets
before and after.

Audited the working tree and full git history for committed secrets
(gitleaks + trufflehog + manual grep, see secrets-inventory.md, kept
local/gitignored per the spec). Found: a password hash shared by root
and the nixos user across every host, two live Beszel monitoring
tokens, and a GitHub fine-grained PAT embedded in a home-manager
nix.conf.
Migrates all of them to sops-nix:
- .sops.yaml + secrets/*.yaml, encrypted for admin + the age keys
derived (via ssh-to-age) from each live host's existing SSH host
key — no new key material transferred to any machine.
- users.users.{root,nixos}.hashedPasswordFile replaces the inline
hashedPassword shared by every target.
- The GitHub PAT moves from a home-manager-managed, store-visible
nix.conf to a sops.templates-rendered file included via nix.conf's
native !include, system-wide instead of per-user.
- Beszel TOKEN moves from `environment` (store-visible) to
`environmentFile` (runtime-only via sops.templates); the dead
commented-out docker token is removed from the tree entirely.
Added a tracked pre-commit hook (gitleaks protect --staged, wired via
core.hooksPath) so a secret can't be committed by accident again, and
documented the sops workflow in README.md.
Structural verification only: all 17 flake targets evaluate, and
`nix build --dry-run --no-link` succeeds for the three currently
deployed hosts. Per CLAUDE.md, actual `nixos-rebuild switch` — the
step that confirms secrets decrypt and services start on a real
machine — is left for manual verification.
Git history still contains the original plaintext secrets; scrubbing
history (Milestone 3) and rotating every credential (Milestone 4) are
separate, deliberately gated steps per remove-sensetive-info-refactor.md.

Generates all nixosConfigurations from mkTarget(platform, buildType,
hostPath) instead of hand-written per-host blocks, so adding a new
platform or build type is a one-line addition. Per-machine identity
(hostname, hostId, secrets, stateVersion) moves into hosts/<name>/host.nix;
platform-specific config (hardware, boot, networking) into
modules/platforms/*.nix; build-type config (minimal/server/docker/gui/
nix-cache/pxe-boot) into modules/build-types/*.nix.
Old flat targets (nixos, docker, server, nix-cache, nix-minimal, pxe-boot)
are replaced by the 17-target <platform>-<buildtype> matrix; each new
target was verified to evaluate before its old counterpart was removed.
CI workflows and docs/aliases now discover hosts dynamically via
nixosConfigurations attrNames and /etc/flake-target instead of hardcoded
lists, so they can't drift from flake.nix again.

Remove the nonexistent kuma host and add the missing linode-minimal
host across README, AGENTS.md, docs, and CI eval workflows so they
match flake.nix's nixosConfigurations. Also add CLAUDE.md with
architecture/safety guidance for future Claude Code sessions.
