fulcrum: convert to a role, de-Uptime-Kuma the health check 685-line playbook becomes 33 lines plus a 426-line role (install/service/healthcheck phases, six templates, one handler). fulcrum_vars.yml is deleted; its content is the role's defaults. Verified: fulcrum untouched - active since 2026-07-29 (no restart), 192G datadir, height 966842, bitcoind and db_mem unchanged on disk. Second run changed=1 (the arming run, changed_when: false aside). vipy changed=0. THREE PRE-EXISTING LANDMINES the check-mode diff caught, any of which a faithful extraction would have detonated: - bitcoin_rpc_host was "192.168.1.140", commented "IP of knots_box_local". But .140 is fulcrum-box ITSELF; knots-box is .135. The DHCP leases had reshuffled - the fifth instance of this same disease in this estate. The live config had been hand-corrected to knots-box; running the playbook would have reverted it and pointed Fulcrum at itself. Now addressed by Tailscale name. - The `Restart fulcrum` handler was guarded by uptime_kuma_enabled, so the three tasks that notify it (SSL cert, fulcrum.conf, systemd unit) could not restart anything. A config change applied to disk, reported success, and silently never took effect. That is worse than the other banner casualties: it makes the deployment itself lie. Ungated. - db_mem was about to go 2048 -> 4448 (75% of 5931MB RAM), leaving ~1.4GB for the OS and Fulcrum's non-cache memory. The live value had been hand-tuned down. fulcrum_db_mem_mb_override pins it. Note set_fact outranks role defaults, so the calculation itself has to honour the override. MY OWN ERROR, third instance: retyping `copy:` as `template:` lost `owner:` on the banner and on fulcrum.conf. Rather than keep catching these by eye, every managed path's owner/group/mode is now compared against `git show HEAD:` mechanically - 12/12 match. The health check timer had not fired since 2026-02-17 while reporting `active` and `enabled`. It is OnBootSec + OnUnitActiveSec with no OnCalendar: OnBootSec elapses once, and OnUnitActiveSec needs the SERVICE to have run this boot to have anything to schedule from. Restarting the timer does not supply that; running the service does, so the role now runs the check once after enabling. Also dropped `Requires=fulcrum.service` from the timer - on a timer that means "stop watching when the watched thing stops". Diagnostic note: NextElapseUSecRealtime is always empty for a monotonic timer, so it reads as broken even when healthy. I misread it once and wrongly called the timer dead. Use NextElapseUSecMonotonic or systemctl list-timers. fulcrum_ssl_port and fulcrum_tailscale_hostname moved to services_config.yml - the socket-proxy play on the edge host needs them and a role default cannot reach a second play.

# Everything here answers "is Fulcrum healthy" and records the answer. The
# Uptime Kuma specifics that used to follow — an embedded Python script creating
# monitors over the API, a /tmp credentials file, push-URL extraction and a
# systemd Environment= rewrite — are gone. Where it reports is now one variable,
# healthcheck_push_url. See the role README.

uptime kuma: remove every live reference, repoint the probes to Gatus Nothing in the repo pushes to, authenticates against, or is gated by Uptime Kuma any more. ── The sixth instance of the banner bug ──────────────────────────────────── memos had `Restart memos` guarded by `uptime_kuma_enabled`, because the deprecation banner was placed immediately above it and swept it in. It is a HANDLER, so every memos config change since 2026-09-11 applied to disk and silently never restarted the service. Ungated. That is the same failure found in forgejo-runner's self-assert, phoenixd's timer enable, mempool's three timer enables, fulcrum's restart handler and bitcoind's restart handler. Every guard was read and asked "monitoring or deployment?" before being deleted, which is the only reason this was caught. ── What was removed ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 30 uptime_kuma_enabled guards across 7 unconverted service playbooks, and the 29 Kuma monitor-creation tasks they gated (embedded Python that drove the Kuma API, temp credential files, cleanup) 7 dead uptime_kuma_api_url definitions 7 stale DEPRECATED banners uptime_kuma_enabled and subdomains.uptime_kuma from group_vars/all healthcheck_push_urls from the vault - 30 push tokens services/ntfy/setup_ntfy_uptime_kuma_notification.yml -> archive/ The explanatory comments in the six converted roles are KEPT on purpose. They record why a handler is ungated, and deleting the explanation invites someone to helpfully re-add the guard. ── The probes moved rather than died ─────────────────────────────────────── Eight per-service health checks were still pushing to Kuma. They are not superseded by infra/401: that answers "is the unit running", these answer "does the service actually respond" - an RPC call to bitcoind, a TCP connect to Fulcrum's Electrum port, an HTTP fetch from Mempool's backend. A process can be perfectly `active` and useless. So they were repointed, not deleted. Gatus external endpoints take a POST with a bearer token and success=true|false where Kuma took a GET with ?status=up, so report() now maps up/down to true/false internally and no call site changed. Registered by infra/403 as the `probe` group, one token per host. Two bugs fixed while in there: * forgejo-runner's check only ever reported SUCCESS - it exited before pushing when the runner was down, so a failure was invisible until the heartbeat window expired. Reporting the failure is the entire point of a check. * All six healthcheck .service units were mode 0644 and now carry a bearer token. They are 0600. Verified: 91 endpoints, 91 UP, 0 DOWN. Every probe triggered by hand and confirmed arriving. Zero Kuma URLs left in the vault, zero live references in any playbook or role. Still standing, deliberately: the Kuma container on watchtower, its Caddy vhost, and the uptime.contrapeso.xyz DNS record. Turning the service off is a separate decision from removing the code that talked to it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# This timer is OnBootSec + OnUnitActiveSec with no OnCalendar. OnBootSec is
# monotonic and had long since elapsed; OnUnitActiveSec schedules relative to the
# SERVICE last being active, and the service had not run since 2026-02-17 — so
# there was no reference to schedule from and the timer sat `active` and
# `enabled` with NextElapseUSecMonotonic=infinity. Restarting the timer alone
# does not supply that reference; running the service does.
#
# (Diagnosing this is easy to get wrong: NextElapseUSecRealtime is always empty
# for a monotonic timer, so it looks broken even when it is fine. Read
# NextElapseUSecMonotonic, or just use `systemctl list-timers`.)
