+## [1.0.9] - 2026-08-06
+
+### Added
+
+- **Prometheus alerts mount**: `alerts.yml` mounted into prometheus container in both dev and prod compose files.
+- **Grafana provisioning**: Prometheus datasource + dashboard provider YAML configs in `monitoring/grafana/`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Prod prometheus**: Switched from empty named volume to bind mounts for config files (consistent with dev).
+- **CD pipeline**: Trigger on `push` (parallel with CI), removed `environment: production` (was causing silent abort).
+- **CI pipeline**: Removed redundant `release` job (handled by `release.yml`).
+- **Tag format**: Standardized on `*.*.*` (e.g. `1.0.9`), removed `v` prefix from existing tags.
+- **DEPLOYMENT.md**: Documented parallel CI/CD pipeline flow with workflow table.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Prometheus config mount**: Switched prod from bind mounts to named volume `prometheus-config`, populated via `docker run` on remote host. Fixes `not a directory` error when bind source path doesn't exist on deployment host.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `.github/MEMORY.md`, `.github/agents/`, `.github/instructions/` — tracking files migrated out of repo.
+
+## [1.0.8] - 2026-08-06
+
+### Changed
+
+- **API.md**: Added full HTTP status code matrix (table with 12 codes) and rate limit headers documentation.
+- **DEPLOYMENT.md**: Added troubleshooting table (8 common symptoms with check/fix).
+- **MONITORING.md**: Full rewrite with architecture diagram, 7 scrape targets, 8 alert rules, key metrics, troubleshooting.
+- **SECURITY.md**: Full rewrite with threat model diagram, TLS/HSTS config, network isolation, secrets management, incident response.
+- **Architecture docs**: Filled Level 2 building blocks (Mermaid diagram, 5 subsystems with code locations) and Level 3 module breakdowns (chat: 9 modules, playout: 6 modules, frontend: 10 modules).
+
+## [1.0.7] - 2026-08-06
+
+### Added
+
+- **Emergency slate fallback**: `scripts/generate-slate.sh` creates "We'll Be Right Back" slate video + pre-rendered HLS. Playout detects FFmpeg failures (>5 restarts/60s) and auto-switches to slate manifest. Health endpoint reports `degraded` mode. Auto-recovers when FFmpeg restarts successfully.
+- **Prometheus metrics**: `linearvoid_playout_restarts_total`, `linearvoid_playout_mode` (0=live, 1=slate), `linearvoid_chat_dms_total` exposed on playout + chat `/metrics`.
+- **Video normalization pipeline**: `scripts/normalize.sh` with env-configurable CRF/preset/audio-bitrate wrapping reference FFmpeg command.
+- **Strict ffprobe verification gate**: `ValidateVideo()` in playout parses ffprobe JSON, checks codec (h264/aac), framerate (30/1), resolution (1280x720 or 1920x1080), pix_fmt (yuv420p), sample_rate (48000), keyframe interval (≤2s). `ValidateVideoStrict()` returns `{valid, errors[]}`.
+- **Upload normalization enforcement**: `validateMediaNormalization()` runs on every admin upload (single + chunked). Non-conforming files get `needs_normalization` status. Visible in media library + playlist validation warnings.
+- **Chat history on room join**: `pushChatHistory()` sends last 50 messages via WebSocket on connect.
+- **DM offline delivery**: Private messages persisted to DB, appear in history when recipient reconnects.
+- **Online presence indicators**: Green dot per user in chat sidebar, updated via join/leave system messages.
+- **Schedule metadata overlay**: "Now Playing" + "Up Next" below viewer player, polling `GET /api/schedule` every 30s. Public `/api/schedule` endpoint added.
+- **Playlist drag-to-reorder**: Sortable list with drag-and-drop, per-entry remove buttons, validation warnings (missing files, needs_normalization).
+- **Schedule overrides**: `ScheduleOverride` model + `GET/POST/DELETE /api/admin/schedule/overrides` with conflict detection (409 on overlap). Admin UI with form + list.
+- **User management actions**: `POST /api/admin/users` with mute/unmute/ban/unban actions. Per-user action buttons in admin users table.
+- **Inline moderation**: Mute/Ban buttons on each chat log entry row in admin.
+- **CSV export**: `GET /api/admin/chat-log/export` returns CSV download.
+- **Analytics time range selector**: 1h, 6h, 24h, 7d dropdown on admin analytics page.
+- **Runtime config editor**: `GET/PUT /api/admin/config` for rate limit max + window. Admin system page with config form + restart buttons.
+- **Production target documentation**: `DEPLOYMENT.md` updated with two-environment model (test lab 192.168.88.0/24 vs Hetzner production TBD), CX22 specs, firewall requirements, DNS cutover plan.
+- **Network diagram**: Mermaid diagram in `SETUP.md` distinguishing test lab from planned production.
+- **E2E test script**: `scripts/test-playout-e2e.sh` for runtime validation in test lab.
+- **Redis pub/sub stub**: Architecture ready for multi-instance chat (pending implementation).
+
+### Changed
+
+- `docker-compose.yml` + `.prod.yml`: added slate volume mount (`./data/slate:/app/slate:ro`), Redis `--maxmemory 256mb --maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru`.
+- `backend/playout/Dockerfile`: added `/app/slate` directory.
+- `handleConnection`: added 30s presence heartbeat + WebSocket ping, banned/muted user checks, env-configurable rate limits (`CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_MAX`, `CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_S`).
+- `handleModerationCommand`: added moderator role check, mute duration parsing, Redis key enforcement.
+- `handlePrivateDM`: targeted delivery via `clientMeta` map instead of broadcast.
+- `initRedis`: added `redisReconnectLoop` with exponential backoff (2s→60s).
+- `handleAdminMedia` + chunked upload: normalization validation runs on every upload, sets `needs_normalization` status.
+- nginx: OPTIONS preflight → 204 on all 4 HLS locations. `/health` returns JSON. `/nginx-status` with stub_status (internal-network restricted).
+- CD workflow: health checks now IP-agnostic (`docker exec` instead of hardcoded IP curls).
+- `docker-compose.yml` + `.prod.yml`, `.gitea/workflows/cd.yml`, `DEPLOYMENT.md`, `SETUP.md`, `docs/architecture/README.md`, `README.md`: all annotated with test-lab vs production distinction, `192.168.88.0/24` flagged as internal test network.
+- `docs/architecture/README.md`: CI/CD deployment view updated to note test lab target, production pending.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- CD health check no longer hardcodes `192.168.88.40` in curl targets — uses `docker exec` for portability.
+- Playlist page no longer single-textarea — now shows sortable list with validation warnings.
+- Schedule page shows overrides alongside playlist timeline.

+## Environments
+
+Linear Void runs in two separate environments:
+
+| Environment    | Host                       | Docker Target              | Purpose                                        |
+| -------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| **Test Lab**   | `192.168.88.40` (internal) | `tcp://192.168.88.40:2375` | Integration testing, staging, CI/CD validation |
+| **Production** | Hetzner VPS (TBD)          | `tcp://<hetzner-ip>:2375`  | Public linearvoid.tv serving real viewers      |
+
+**Current state (2026-08-06):** Test lab is active and receives automated CD deploys. Production Hetzner VPS is **not yet provisioned**. The CD workflow (`cd.yml`) and `docker-compose.prod.yml` currently target the test lab. Switching to production requires only changing `DOCKER_HOST` — see [Production Deployment](#production-target-hetzner) below.
+
+## Production Target (Hetzner)
+
+**Status: Not provisioned.** The production deployment plan is documented and the pipeline is ready — only the VPS needs to be created.
+
+### Planned Infrastructure
+
+| Resource       | Spec                                             |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| Provider       | Hetzner Cloud                                    |
+| Region         | Ashburn, VA (us-east)                            |
+| Instance       | CX22 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD) or equivalent |
+| OS             | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12                    |
+| Bandwidth      | 20 TB included traffic/month                     |
+| Estimated cost | ~€7–10/month base                                |
+
+### Cutover Plan
+
+1. Provision Hetzner VPS (see [Production Deployment](#production-target-hetzner) section)
+2. Add production secrets to Gitea (`CI_PROD_*` prefix)
+3. Update `DOCKER_HOST` in CD workflow to Hetzner public IP
+4. Trigger deploy → validate health checks
+5. Update Cloudflare A record `linearvoid.tv` → Hetzner IP
+6. Enable HTTPS, WAF, cache rules on production zone
+7. Decommission test lab as public target
+
+### Firewall / Security Group
+
+| Port | Source                | Purpose                        |
+| ---- | --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| 22   | Admin IPs             | SSH management                 |
+| 80   | 0.0.0.0/0             | HTTP (redirect to HTTPS)       |
+| 443  | 0.0.0.0/0             | HTTPS (nginx)                  |
+| 2375 | Gitea runner IP only  | Docker remote API (TLS)        |
+| 9090 | Admin IPs or internal | Prometheus (or tunnel via SSH) |
+| 3001 | Admin IPs or internal | Grafana (or tunnel via SSH)    |
+
+### Pipeline Readiness
+
+Three Gitea Actions workflows drive the full pipeline:
+
+| Workflow      | Trigger          | Purpose                                                                                  |

+| `ci.yml`      | Push to `main`   | Lint, build frontend, vet Go, build & push Docker images (`:latest`, `:main`)            |
+| `cd.yml`      | Push to `main`   | Deploy to test lab (`192.168.88.40:2375`) — runs **in parallel** with CI                 |
+| `release.yml` | Tag push `*.*.*` | Build & push versioned Docker images (`:X.Y.Z`, `:X.Y`, `:latest`), create Gitea Release |
+
+CI and CD run simultaneously on every push to `main`. The deploy pulls whatever `:latest` images are available in the registry at that moment.
+
+The CD workflow (`cd.yml`) uses `DOCKER_HOST` to target the deployment host. To switch targets:
+
+```bash
+# Test lab (current)
+DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.88.40:2375
+
+# Production (when provisioned)
+DOCKER_HOST=tcp://<hetzner-public-ip>:2375
+```

 # Monitoring Guide

-This guide covers Prometheus and Grafana setup for Linear Void.
+Prometheus + Grafana monitoring for Linear Void.

-## Current Monitoring Components
+## Architecture

- Prometheus container: linearvoid-prometheus
- Grafana container: linearvoid-grafana
- Metrics target: chat service /metrics
- Base scrape config: monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.yml
-
-## Prometheus Configuration
-
-Current scrape config:
-
- Job chat -> chat:3000
- Job prometheus -> prometheus:9090
- Global scrape interval: 15s
-
-File:
-
- monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.yml
-
-## Start Monitoring Stack
-
-With compose stack up:
-
- Prometheus UI: <http://localhost:9090>
- Grafana UI: <http://localhost:3001>
-
-Compose services include prometheus and grafana in both docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.prod.yml.
-
-## Grafana Provisioning
-
-Current mount paths:
-
- Dashboards directory: monitoring/grafana/dashboards
- Datasources directory: monitoring/grafana/datasources
-
-Notes:
-
- The dashboards directory includes a Prometheus overview dashboard file.
- Datasource provisioning can be done with a YAML file in monitoring/grafana/datasources, or by configuring a datasource in Grafana UI.
-
-Example datasource provisioning file (create if needed):
-
-```yaml
-apiVersion: 1
-
-datasources:

- prometheus_tsdb_head_series
- prometheus_tsdb_wal_writes_failed_total
- prometheus_tsdb_compactions_failed_total
+## Dashboards

-## Suggested Alerts
+- **Linear Void app**: `monitoring/grafana/dashboard.json` — clients, messages, moderation, Redis, sessions, scrape health
+- **Prometheus ops**: `monitoring/grafana/dashboards/dashboard.json` — TSDB, CPU/memory, WAL, compactions, query latency

-Create a Prometheus rules file (for example monitoring/prometheus/alerts.yml) and wire it into Prometheus.
+## Key Metrics

-Recommended baseline alerts:
-
- Chat target down for 2m
- Prometheus target down for 2m
- Redis indicator down for 2m
- TSDB WAL/compaction failure rate above zero
- Elevated handler/query latency p99
-
-## Validate Monitoring End-to-End
-
-1. Verify /metrics through nginx:
-
- <https://linearvoid.tv/metrics>
-
-1. Confirm targets in Prometheus:
-
- Status -> Targets page in Prometheus UI
-
-1. Confirm dashboard data in Grafana:
-
- Import or open provisioned dashboards
+- `linearvoid_chat_connected_clients` — active WebSocket connections
+- `linearvoid_chat_messages_total` — total stored messages
+- `linearvoid_chat_dms_total` — private messages sent
+- `linearvoid_chat_redis_up` — Redis reachable (0/1)
+- `linearvoid_playout_restarts_total` — FFmpeg restart counter
+- `linearvoid_playout_mode` — 0=live, 1=slate, 2=degraded
+- `linearvoid_chat_admin_sessions_active` — active admin logins

 ## Troubleshooting

-### No chat metrics in Prometheus
-
- Check chat container health and logs.
- Confirm /metrics is reachable from Prometheus container.
- Verify scrape target is chat:3000 in prometheus.yml.

- Cloudflare edge
- nginx reverse proxy
- chat/admin backend
- container and host operations
+## Authentication & Sessions

-## Authentication and Sessions
+- Login: `POST /api/admin/login` → cookie `linearvoid_admin_session`
+- Cookie flags: `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict`, `Secure` (over HTTPS)
+- Server-side expiry via `ADMIN_SESSION_TTL_HOURS`
+- Rate limit: 5 attempts/IP/5min via Redis

-Admin access is session-cookie based.
+## Transport Security (TLS/HSTS)

- Login endpoint: /api/admin/login
- Session endpoint: /api/admin/session
- Logout endpoint: /api/admin/logout
- Cookie: linearvoid_admin_session
- Cookie flags: HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict, Secure over HTTPS
- Session expiry enforced server-side
+- Cloudflare TLS mode: **Full (strict)** — valid origin cert required
+- nginx listens on 80 internally; Cloudflare handles TLS termination
+- HSTS header set by Cloudflare: `max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload`
+- WSS upgrade path: `/ws` through nginx → chat:3000

-Best practices:
+## Network Isolation

- Set strong ADMIN_USERNAME and ADMIN_PASSWORD values.
- Rotate admin credentials periodically.
- Keep ADMIN_SESSION_TTL_HOURS aligned with operational policy.
-
-## Transport Security
-
- Enforce HTTPS for app/admin endpoints.
- Use WSS for chat WebSocket.
- Keep Cloudflare TLS mode strict and valid at origin.
+- All backend services on internal Docker network (`linearvoid-net`)
+- Only nginx port exposed to host (443/80)
+- Database, Redis, exporters inaccessible from outside
+- `docker-compose.prod.yml` keeps ports internal via `expose:` not `ports:`

 ## Reverse Proxy Controls

-nginx controls include:
+- `auth_request /api/admin/auth` gate on all `/admin` and `/api/admin` paths
+- Explicit `client_max_body_size 64m` for resumable upload chunks
+- WebSocket upgrade headers: `Upgrade`, `Connection` preserved
+- CORS headers on HLS: `Access-Control-Allow-Origin *`
+- XSS protection: CSP headers served by Cloudflare

- auth_request guard for /admin and /api/admin paths
- dedicated unauthorized behavior for admin API responses
- explicit websocket upgrade headers for /ws
- upload body-size limits for resumable media chunk uploads
+## Rate Limiting

-Best practices:
+| Resource          | Limit | Window |
+| ----------------- | ----- | ------ |
+| WebSocket connect | 5/IP  | 60s    |
+| Chat messages     | 10/IP | 10s    |
+| Admin login       | 5/IP  | 5min   |

- Keep proxy body-size and timeout settings aligned across all proxy layers.
- Avoid exposing backend service ports publicly unless required.
+Implemented via Redis `INCR` + `EXPIRE`.

-## Input Validation and Upload Safety
+## Secrets Management

-Server-side protections include:
+- `.env` — local dev only, **gitignored**
+- Gitea Actions secrets (`CI_*` prefix) for CI/CD
+- Never commit: passwords, tokens, API keys, R2 credentials
+- Production `.env` provisioned manually on host, never checked in
+- Rotate admin password quarterly

- extension allow-list for media uploads
- MIME checks
- file-size ceiling (2GB)
- resumable chunk bounds and chunk-index validation
- media path safety checks on delete
+## Data Protection

-Best practices:
-
- Keep upload chunk size bounded.
- Reject unsupported content types consistently.
- Monitor 4xx/5xx rates on upload routes.
-
-## Rate Limiting and Abuse Controls
-
- Chat rate limiting uses Redis INCR + EXPIRE windows.
- Current baseline: more than 10 messages in 10 seconds is throttled.
- Moderation actions are logged for auditability.
-
-Best practices:
-
- Tune thresholds by observed abuse patterns.
- Keep moderation logs reviewed and retained per policy.
-
-## Infrastructure and Secrets
-
- Store secrets in .env (not in committed source).
- Use Gitea Actions secrets for CI/CD credentials and admin credentials.
- Restrict Docker host control plane exposure.
- Limit who can read deployment environment files.
-
-## Cloudflare and Edge Security
-
-Recommended baseline:
-
- WAF enabled
- Rate limits on sensitive paths
- Bot protection where appropriate
- Cache rules scoped carefully to avoid caching private/control-plane content
-
-## Data Protection and Retention
-
- Persistent data: postgres, redis append-only, chat state, playlist/media metadata
- Backup and restore drills should be periodic
- Restore procedures should be tested in isolated environments
-
-## Logging and Monitoring for Security
-
-Track and alert on:
-
- repeated failed admin login attempts
- spikes in 401 and 403 responses
- sudden upload errors (413/400/500 patterns)
- unusual websocket disconnect or message-rate anomalies
+- PostgreSQL: chat history, moderation logs, media metadata
+- Redis: append-only persistence for presence, rate limits, sessions
+- HLS segments: ephemeral, regenerated by playout
+- Backups: `scripts/backup-db.sh` (daily), `scripts/backup-weekly.sh`, `scripts/verify-backups.sh`

 ## Hardening Checklist

- [ ] HTTPS/WSS enforced end-to-end
+- [ ] HTTPS/WSS enforced end-to-end (Cloudflare Full strict)
 - [ ] Strong admin credentials configured
- [ ] Secrets only in env/secrets stores
+- [ ] Secrets only in env/secrets stores (never committed)

- [ ] Upload limits and validation active
- [ ] Rate limiting active and tested
+- [ ] Upload limits and MIME validation active
+- [ ] Rate limiting active (WS, messages, login)
 - [ ] Cloudflare WAF/rate-limit rules active
 - [ ] Backup/restore drills completed
- [ ] Security-related monitoring alerts routed
+- [ ] Security alerts routed (Prometheus alertmanager)

-## Incident Response Baseline
+## Incident Response

-1. Detect issue (alerts/logs/user reports).
-2. Triage scope (edge, proxy, app, data plane).
-3. Contain impact (rate limit, credential rotate, route disable).
-4. Recover services and verify health.
-5. Record timeline and corrective actions.
+1. Detect — alerts (ChatDown, RedisDown, HighChatLatency) or user reports
+2. Triage — edge (Cloudflare), proxy (nginx), app (chat/playout), data (Redis/Postgres)
+3. Contain — rate limit, credential rotate, service restart, slate mode activation
+4. Recover — verify health endpoints, check Prometheus targets, validate HLS output
+5. Record — timeline + corrective actions in `docs/incident-runbook.md`

+#### Playout Service (`backend/playout/src/playlist.go`)
+
+- **Role**: Continuous HLS encoding loop using FFmpeg concat demuxer
+- **Input**: `data/playlist/playlist.txt` — ordered list of MP4 file paths
+- **Output**: HLS segments (`.ts`) + live manifest (`.m3u8`) written to `data/hls/`, mirrored to R2
+- **Resilience**: Restart counter (>5/60s → activate slate), Prometheus metrics on port 8081
+- **Validation**: ffprobe gate on all ingested files (codec, fps, resolution, keyframe interval)
+
+#### Chat Service (`backend/chat/src/main.go`)
+
+- **Role**: WebSocket chat with rooms, DMs, moderation, admin API
+- **Persistence**: PostgreSQL 15 via GORM (messages, moderation logs, media metadata). SQLite for dev fallback
+- **Redis**: Presence tracking, rate limiting, pub/sub for multi-instance fan-out
+- **Auth**: Session-cookie admin auth with Redis-backed expiry
+- **Metrics**: Connected clients, stored messages, DMs, moderation actions on `/metrics`
+
+#### Frontend SPA (`frontend/`)
+
+- **Viewer**: `src/main.ts` — hls.js player, WebSocket chat, presence indicators, schedule overlay
+- **Admin**: `src/admin.ts` — 9 dynamic tabs (dashboard, upload, playlist, schedule, moderation, chat-log, users, analytics, system)
+- **Build**: Vite → static output in `frontend/dist/`
+
+#### Reverse Proxy (`infrastructure/nginx/nginx.conf`)
+
+- auth_request gate on `/admin` and `/api/admin`
+- WebSocket upgrade for `/ws`
+- HLS CORS headers + OPTIONS preflight
+- `/health` JSON endpoint, `/nginx-status` stub_status

-**Next Steps**: After ADR-006 and ADR-007 are reviewed, mark the "Create ADRs for Data Storage, Caching, and Admin Capabilities" section as completed in TODO.md and move it to DONE.md. Then proceed with implementation of the Playout Service.

+# Incident Runbook
+
+Triage order for Linear Void incidents. Work top-to-bottom — each tier depends on the one above.
+
+## Triage Order
+
+1. Edge Reachability (Cloudflare)
+2. Origin Health (VPS/Docker)
+3. Playout Progression (HLS)
+4. Chat Connectivity (WebSocket)
+5. Data-Plane (Redis/DB)
+
+## 1. Edge Reachability (Cloudflare)
+
+**Symptoms:** `linearvoid.tv` not resolving, SSL errors, 5xx from Cloudflare.
+
+```bash
+# Check DNS
+dig linearvoid.tv
+dig www.linearvoid.tv
+
+# Check Cloudflare status
+curl -I https://linearvoid.tv/health
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+
+- DNS misconfiguration (A record pointing to wrong IP)
+- Cloudflare proxy disabled (grey cloud → origin exposed directly)
+- SSL certificate expired (check Cloudflare dashboard → SSL/TLS)
+- Cloudflare outage → check [https://www.cloudflarestatus.com](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com)
+
+**Mitigation:**
+
+- Verify A record: `linearvoid.tv` → origin IP (proxied, orange cloud)
+- Bypass Cloudflare temporarily: `curl -H "Host: linearvoid.tv" http://<origin-ip>/health`
+
+## 2. Origin Health (VPS/Docker)
+
+**Symptoms:** Cloudflare returns 502/504, containers down.
+
+```bash
+# Remote Docker (test lab)
+docker -H tcp://192.168.88.40:2375 ps
+docker -H tcp://192.168.88.40:2375 logs linearvoid-nginx --tail 50
+
+# Direct health check
+curl http://192.168.88.40/health
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+
+- Host out of disk space: `df -h`
+- Docker daemon stopped: `systemctl status docker`
+- Container restart loop: `docker ps -a --filter "status=exited"`
+- Resource exhaustion (OOM): `dmesg | grep -i oom`
+
+**Mitigation:**
+
+- Restart stack: `docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d`
+- Free disk: `docker system prune -f`
+- Check logs per service: `docker logs linearvoid-<service> --tail 100`
+
+## 3. Playout Progression (HLS)
+
+**Symptoms:** Viewer sees slate or buffering, playlist not advancing.
+
+```bash
+# Check playout health
+curl http://192.168.88.40:8081/health
+# Response includes "mode": "live" or "slate"
+
+# Check HLS output
+curl -I http://192.168.88.40/hls/playlist.m3u8
+ls -la data/hls/
+
+# Check playout logs
+docker logs linearvoid-playout --tail 100
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+
+- FFmpeg crash → slate fallback active (health shows `degraded`)
+- Playlist file empty/missing: `cat data/playlist/playlist.txt`
+- Media file missing from playlist: `ls data/media/`
+- Disk full → HLS segments can't write
+
+**Mitigation:**
+
+- Verify playlist has valid entries
+- Check media files exist at paths in playlist
+- Restart playout: `docker compose restart playout`
+- Generate demo playlist if empty: see `backend/playout/start-playout.sh`
+
+## 4. Chat Connectivity (WebSocket)
+
+**Symptoms:** Chat not loading, messages not sending, presence broken.
+
+```bash
+# Check chat health
+curl http://192.168.88.40:3000/health
+
+# Test WebSocket
+wscat -c ws://192.168.88.40/ws?username=test&room=main
+
+# Check chat logs
+docker logs linearvoid-chat --tail 100
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+
+- Redis down → presence/rate-limiting degraded (chat still works)
+- Database down → messages not persisting
+- Port not exposed: `docker port linearvoid-chat`
+
+**Mitigation:**
+
+- Restart chat: `docker compose restart chat`
+- Check Redis: `docker exec linearvoid-redis redis-cli ping`
+- Check DB: `docker exec linearvoid-db pg_isready -U linearvoid`
+- Chat works without Redis (graceful degradation) — check logs for "Redis connection warning"
+
+## 5. Data-Plane (Redis/DB)
+
+**Symptoms:** Chat works but no persistence/presence, admin stats empty.
+
+```bash
+# Redis
+docker exec linearvoid-redis redis-cli ping
+docker exec linearvoid-redis redis-cli info memory
+
+# PostgreSQL
+docker exec linearvoid-db pg_isready -U linearvoid
+docker exec linearvoid-db psql -U linearvoid -c "SELECT count(*) FROM messages;"
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+
+- Redis OOM (check `maxmemory` setting)
+- PostgreSQL connection limit reached
+- Disk full on volume mount
+
+**Mitigation:**
+
+- Redis: `docker compose restart redis` (AOF persist enabled)
+- PostgreSQL: `docker compose restart db`
+- Restore from backup: see `scripts/verify-backups.sh` for procedure
+
+## Escalation
+
+| Severity | When                                 | Action                                             |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| Critical | Slate active >30min, complete outage | Trigger DR plan, provision fallback host           |
+| Warning  | Redis down, high CPU >30min          | Investigate during business hours, restart service |
+| Info     | Single service blip                  | Monitor, no action unless recurring                |
+
+## Post-Incident
+
+1. Document timeline in incident channel
+2. Identify root cause
+3. Add prevention to docs if actionable
+4. Update this runbook if new failure mode discovered
+
+**Recovery targets:** RPO ≤24h, RTO ≤60min. Quarterly DR drill: simulate host loss, restore from backup.
