802-line playbook becomes 68 lines (three plays: the role, the Caddy dashboard,
the Stratum socket proxy) plus a 345-line role. datum_gateway_vars.yml is
deleted; its content is the role's defaults.
Verified after a real run with zero miners connected: datum-gateway restarted
cleanly onto the reformatted config, deployed config.json semantically identical
to what was there (pool_address bc1qvrj3g84..., pool_pass_* false, ports
unchanged), health check timer firing, and the Knots side untouched - bitcoind
still up since 2026-08-19 with blocknotify intact.
TWO PIECES OF DRIFT WHERE THE NODE WAS RIGHT, both confirmed with the operator:
- datum_mining_address: the vault held bc1qdse9dsg... while the node had been
mining to bc1qvrj3g... since 2026-08-08. This is WHERE BLOCK REWARDS ARE PAID.
And unlike fulcrum and bitcoin-knots, the `Restart datum-gateway` handler here
was never gated, so the stale value would have applied immediately rather than
sitting inert on disk.
- pool_pass_workers / pool_pass_full_users: false on the node, true in the vars
file.
Both corrected in the vault and role defaults with notes recording why.
Comparing this config needs semantics, not text: the live file is single-line
JSON and the template renders pretty-printed, so a textual diff is pure noise.
Rendering it and comparing parsed JSON is what surfaced both differences.
config.json carries bitcoind.rpcpassword and api.admin_password, and --diff
prints rendered content - so `--check --diff` put them on the terminal. The task
now sets diff: false by default (-e datum_reveal_config=true to opt in). Those
two should be rotated.
I also mis-reported pool_pass_workers/pool_pass_full_users as exposed credentials
because my masking matched "pass" in the key name. They are BOOLEANS, and
mining.pool_address is a Bitcoin address, public by nature. Only the two real
passwords above were exposed.
`Configure cmake build` and `Compile datum_gateway` are bare command: tasks with
no changed_when, so they recompile on every run. The build is reproducible -
Install datum_gateway binary sees identical content and leaves the installed
binary's timestamp alone - but it is wasted work each time. Documented as the
idempotent floor.
Ownership parity checked mechanically against `git show HEAD:` keyed by task
name: 7/7 match, 9 Kuma tasks dropped.
This completes Plan 6 Stage 2: all six services in the list are roles.
