+# recover-hosts.sh — Fix sops/SSH-key/GitHub-token issues on deployed NixOS hosts
+# and trigger a Switch-nix rebuild on each.
+#
+# Run from the repo root on the workstation (nixos@nixos):
+#   bash scripts/recover-hosts.sh [<hostname> ...]
+#
+# With no args it discovers and checks every known hostname.
+# With args it checks only those hostnames:
+#   bash scripts/recover-hosts.sh tor-relay
+#
+# Fixes applied automatically (then prompts before rebuilding):
+#   1. SSH host key drift — live key no longer matches host-keys/<target>_ssh_host_ed25519_key
+#      Fix: scp the registered key back and restore it (needs sudo once per host).
+#   2. Stale/invalid GitHub access token — the rendered nix-github-token.conf has
+#      a token GitHub rejects (401), blocking any rebuild that fetches disko or
+#      other public GitHub flake inputs.
+#      Fix: empty the rendered file so nix makes unauthenticated requests instead.
+#      Public repos (disko, nixpkgs, etc.) work fine without auth. sops-nix
+#      re-renders the correct new token automatically after the first successful
+#      rebuild.
+#
+# Both fixes need one interactive sudo session per host. The script opens a
+# single ssh -t per broken host so you enter the password once and all steps
+# run in sequence.
