test(frontend): simplify fetch mock signatures in auth tests

- Created a new dashboard for NGINX monitoring with panels for status, active connections, request rates, and connection drop ratio.
- Added a Node dashboard to monitor CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, and network traffic.
- Introduced a Playout dashboard to track service status, mode, FFmpeg restarts, and scrape duration.
- Implemented a PostgreSQL dashboard featuring active connections, database size, transaction rates, and cache hit ratio.
- Developed a Prometheus dashboard to visualize scrape duration, targets status, and rule evaluation metrics.
- Established a Redis dashboard to monitor connected clients, memory usage, command latency, and keyspace statistics.

+- Plan any task in the `.github/instructions/TODO.md` file with clear steps and mark them as completed when done. Move completed sections to `.github/instructions/DONE.md`. Write entry in root `CHANGELOG.md` for any significant changes. Avoid using in-memory todo lists or update them frequently to sync from the `TODO.md` file.
 - Before taking any action except for planning and writing `TODO.md`, always ask user for confirmation, accept `go`, `ok`, `yes`, `next`, or `continue` to proceed. If the user says `no`, `stop`, or `cancel`, abort the action and return to planning.

+## 2026-08-07
+
+- Completed runtime validation section from TODO.
+- Runtime video normalization tests executed in running `linearvoid-playout` container using ffmpeg/ffprobe.
+- Verified normalized outputs for MOV, MKV, VFR, and 5.1 inputs: `h264`, `yuv420p`, `30/1`, `aac`, `48000`, `2 channels`.
+- Concat continuity check passed with `CONCAT_OK`; output duration `25.344667` seconds.
+- Responsive viewport test on live viewer (`390x844`, `412x915`) detected 8px horizontal overflow from `100vw` usage in viewer container styles.
+- Fixed overflow in source by changing `.lv-body` and `.viewer-shell` width from `100vw` to `100%` in `frontend/src/style.css`.
+- Redis restart test:
+  - Admin session endpoint returned 200 before and after Redis restart.
+  - Presence key survived Redis restart in test-lab configuration.
+  - Redis health returned to `healthy` post-restart.
+- Files changed:
+  - `.github/instructions/TODO.md`
+  - `.github/instructions/DONE.md`
+  - `frontend/src/style.css`
+  - `CHANGELOG.md`
+
+## 2026-08-07 (continued)
+
+- Completed documentation half of recovery runbook TODO item.
+- Expanded `docs/incident-runbook.md` with quarterly DR drill: prerequisites, outage simulation, restore validation, pass/fail criteria, and evidence template.
+- Split TODO item into:
+  - documented drill (`[x]`)
+  - manual rehearsal execution (`[ ]`)
+- Updated `CHANGELOG.md` with incident runbook drill documentation entry.
+
+## 2026-08-07 (continued 2)
+
+- Added manual operations checklist `docs/operations/cloudflare-uptimerobot-checklist.md` for Cloudflare + UptimeRobot task execution and evidence capture.
+- Linked checklist from `SETUP.md` Cloudflare section and TODO manual sections.
+- Did not mark manual dashboard items complete; checklist is preparation only.
+
+## 2026-08-07 (continued 3)
+
+- Added `docs/operations/scaling-performance-playbook.md` covering manifest TTL tuning, TTFB baseline method, WebSocket/API benchmarking approach, cache ratio tracking, capacity triggers, and Phase 2/3 plans.
+- Updated TODO and BACKLOG to mark playbook creation done while keeping execution/measurement tasks pending.
+- Linked scaling playbook in `README.md` resources.
+
+## 2026-08-09
+
+- Added WebSocket benchmark summary helper `scripts/loadtest/summarize-artillery.ps1`.
+- Updated `scripts/loadtest/run-loadtests.ps1` to auto-generate `ws-chat-summary.txt` for `ws` and `all` scenarios.
+- Updated `scripts/loadtest/summarize-k6.ps1` to produce pipeline-friendly output and integrated automatic `admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt` generation.
+- Expanded `scripts/loadtest/README.md` with PowerShell-first artifact capture and helper usage for both ws and admin scenarios.
+- Updated `.gitignore` to ignore loadtest artifacts (`artifacts/` and `scripts/loadtest/artifacts/`).
+- Added artifact-to-worksheet field mapping section in `docs/operations/scaling-performance-playbook.md` so ws/admin worksheet entries map directly to generated summary files.
+- Updated `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` and `.github/instructions/TODO.md` to mark ws/admin benchmark scaffolding complete while live benchmark execution remains pending.
+- Added `CHANGELOG.md` entry `1.0.10` summarizing loadtest helper automation and playbook mapping updates.
+
+## 2026-08-09 (continued)
+
+- Completed Phase 1 (test fixtures): documented ffmpeg fixture-generation commands in `playlist_test.go` header comments (valid_720p30, invalid_h265, invalid_24fps).
+- Completed Phase 4 (R2 integration):
+  - Enhanced `SyncToR2` in `playlist.go` to set CacheControl + ContentType based on file extension:
+    - `.m4s`, `.ts`, `.mp4`, `.m4a` -> `public, max-age=31536000, immutable` + `video/MP2T`
+    - `.m3u8` -> `public, max-age=2` + `application/vnd.apple.mpegurl`
+    - unknown extension -> no cache headers
+  - Added three tests: `TestSyncToR2` (segment upload with cache verification), `TestSyncToR2_ManifestCacheHeaders` (manifest upload), `TestSyncToR2_NoCacheHeadersForUnknownExt` (unknown extension).
+  - All 17 playout tests pass (16 pass, 1 pre-existing skip).
+- Updated TODO.md: Phase 1 marked complete, Phase 4 partially complete (edge cache hit/miss remains manual).
+- Updated DEVELOPMENT.md: Test Fixtures marked complete, R2 Integration Test marked partially complete.
+
+## 2026-08-09 (continued 2)
+
+- Completed Phase 2 chat tests in `frontend/src/main.test.ts`:
+  - Presence updates: join/leave system messages add and remove users from presence list, sorted rendering.
+  - Private DM flow: togglePrivateDM creates correct dm: room name from sorted usernames.
+  - Message rendering: system messages, self messages (message-self), and other-user messages (message-other) all render correctly.
+  - Total frontend tests: 27 passing (2 test files).
+- Marked Phase 4 "Document stubs/mocks" done (putObject injection pattern).
+- Updated TODO.md: Phase 2 chat tests checked, Phase 4 stubs checked.
+- Updated DEVELOPMENT.md: User Frontend Tests marked partially complete, R2 stubs checked.
+- Updated CHANGELOG.md with Phase 2 presence/DM/message tests.
+
+## 2026-08-09 (continued 3)
+
+- Completed Phase 3 admin frontend tests in `frontend/src/admin.test.ts`:
+  - Exported `savePlaylist` and `renderPlaylistSortable` from `admin.ts`.
+  - Added playlist save test (verifies PUT /api/admin/playlist with JSON body).
+  - Added playlist save error handling test (verifies failure status).
+  - Added sortable rendering test (verifies index, paths, remove buttons, comment/blank line skip).
+  - Total frontend tests: 31 passing (2 test files).
+- Updated TODO.md: Phase 3 playlist/dashboard/API integration all checked.
+- Updated DEVELOPMENT.md: Admin Frontend Tests marked partially complete.
+
+## 2026-08-10 (continued 2)
+
+- Implemented STREAMING.md production-readiness gaps from plan `.hermes/plans/2026-08-10_164500-production-readiness.md`:
+  - **Task 1-2**: Added `runID` (ISO timestamp format) and monotonic `segSequence` for globally unique segment naming (`r-{ISOTIME}/seg-{seq}.m4s`). Replaced `strftime` pattern with run ID-based path.
+  - **Task 2**: Added `watchAndPublishSegments` using `fsnotify` for real-time per-segment R2 upload (~7s delay). Previously `syncLatestToR2()` only ran after FFmpeg exit.
+  - **Task 3**: Added `publishManifest` with atomic `CopyObject` (temp key → final key) to prevent manifest referencing unconfirmed segments.
+  - **Task 4**: Updated `manifestCacheControl` from `"public, max-age=2"` to `"public, max-age=1, s-maxage=2, must-revalidate"` per STREAMING.md.
+  - **Task 5**: Added `hls.on(Hls.Events.ERROR)` handler in `main.ts` with bounded retries (5x), exponential backoff (2s→32s), reconnecting overlay (spinner + text). Added `showReconnecting`/`hideReconnecting` functions.
+  - **Task 6**: Enriched `HealthHandler` with `run_id`, `active_item`, `playlist_revision`, `last_segment_seq`, `last_r2_pub`, `consecutive_failures`. Added "unhealthy" status when R2 publish is stale (>12s).
+- Files changed: `backend/playout/src/playlist.go`, `playlist_test.go`, `go.mod`, `frontend/src/main.ts`, `main.test.ts`, `style.css`, `index.html`.
+- Updated `.github/instructions/TODO.md`, `BACKLOG.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `DONE.md`.
+- Remaining: CORS on media.linearvoid.tv (Cloudflare R2 config, infrastructure).
+
+## 2026-08-10 (continued 3)
+
+- Completed Phase 2 (viewer) + Phase 3 (admin) responsive/accessibility tests:
+  - 5 viewer accessibility tests: video controls/attributes, chat panel aria-labels, chat toggle aria-expanded, message input label, reconnecting overlay aria-live/role.
+  - 3 viewer responsive tests: chat-collapsed toggle, CSS grid layout detection, now-playing aria-live.
+  - 3 admin accessibility tests: nav aria-label, active tab aria-current, nav button focusability.
+  - 2 admin responsive tests: tab content visibility, essential tab presence.
+  - Total: 45 frontend tests passing (2 test files).
+- Added coverage reporting: `vitest.config.ts` with v8 provider, thresholds at 20/15/15/20 (statements/branches/functions/lines).
+- Added `test:coverage` script to `package.json`.
+- Fixed CI: bumped Node from 20 to 22 in `ci.yml` and `pages-deploy.yml` (jsdom@30 requires Node 22+). Added `engines` to `package.json`.
+- Updated AGENTS.md: added Required tracking files table with 13 docs and update cadence.
+- All Go vet, Go tests, frontend test:coverage passing.
+- CORS on media.linearvoid.tv remains the only streaming pipeline gap (Cloudflare R2 config, not code).
+
+## 2026-08-10 (continued 4)
+
+- Verified all test suites pass after streaming pipeline implementation:
+  - Playout: `go mod tidy` (added fsnotify v1.8.0) → all tests pass
+  - Chat: 7 packages pass (go vet + go test)
+  - Frontend: 45 tests pass (2 files), test:coverage meets thresholds (22.92% / 18.44% / 19.01% / 25.42%)
+- Edge cache validation script `scripts/validate-edge-cache.sh` exists.
+- Remaining: CORS on media.linearvoid.tv (Cloudflare R2 bucket CORS config, not a code change). Phases 5-7 are manual/infrastructure only (Cloudflare dashboard, Hetzner provisioning, live benchmarks).
+
+## 2026-08-11
+
+- Consolidated all development tasks from `DEVELOPMENT.md` and `.github/instructions/TODO.md` into `.github/instructions/BACKLOG.md` as the single source of truth. `DEVELOPMENT.md` now obsolete and removed. `TODO.md` references `BACKLOG.md` and `DONE.md`.
+- Fixed R2 endpoint validation in playout service (`backend/playout/src/playlist.go`):
+  - Added `isR2Configured()` checking all four required env vars (`R2_ENDPOINT`, `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `R2_BUCKET_NAME`).
+  - `initR2Client()` now returns a clear error if R2 is not configured instead of creating an S3 client with an empty endpoint.
+  - Segment watcher (`watchAndPublishSegments`), `syncLatestToR2()`, and `publishManifest()` are now guarded by `r2Client != nil` — no error spam when R2 is unavailable.
+  - Playout gracefully degrades: local HLS via nginx works without R2.
+- Updated `.gitea/workflows/cd.yml` "Prepare environment" step to include all R2* variables sourced from Gitea secrets (`R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `R2_BUCKET_NAME`, `R2_ENDPOINT`, `R2_ADMIN*\*`), Cloudflare variables (`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`, `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`), and frontend public URL variables.
+- Updated `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` "Environment File" section: replaced vague "Cloudflare/R2 variables" bullet with explicit variable lists and added a new "Gitea Secrets" table documenting all 15 required secrets.
+- All playout tests pass (20 tests), `go vet` clean.

+- [ ] Set up Prometheus alerting notifications + UptimeRobot on production URL
+- [ ] Run `scripts/backup-db.sh` + `scripts/verify-backups.sh` on production host
+- [ ] Document production IP, SSH access, rollback procedure, scaling thresholds
+
+### Phase 7: baseline scaling and performance
+
+- [ ] Execute WebSocket load tests — ramp 10→100→500→1000 connections; measure p95 latency + errors
+- [ ] Execute admin API benchmarks — `wrk`/`k6` against `/api/admin/*`; target p95 <1s
+- [ ] Measure manifest TTFB and cache-hit distribution from multiple US regions (WebPageTest 3+ regions, <4s warm cache)
+- [ ] Tune manifest TTL to 0.5× segment duration; validate `Cf-Cache-Status` distribution
+- [ ] Track cache-hit ratio and R2 ops in production (Cloudflare GraphQL → Grafana panel, alert <90%)
+- [ ] Capacity triggers: Prometheus rules for cache-miss >10%/15min, CPU >80%/10min
+- [ ] Plan Phase 2 service separation (playout CPU, chat latency, DB state, monitoring)
+- [ ] Plan Phase 3 multi-origin resilience (second Hetzner location, warm standby, DNS failover, DB/Redis replication)
+
+### Phase 8: close out remaining test and validation gaps
+
+- [ ] Admin frontend: user moderation tools tests (mute/ban/report, view moderation logs)
+- [ ] Frontend: coverage for all critical user + admin components and interactions
+- [ ] Frontend: document test cases and expected outcomes
+- [ ] Backend R2: test retrieval of segments/manifests via Cloudflare edge
+- [ ] Backend R2: validate edge cache hit/miss behavior with repeat requests (`scripts/validate-edge-cache.sh`)
+
+### Playout
+
+- [ ] Configure an R2 lifecycle rule on the `hls/` prefix as defense-in-depth (manual)
+- [ ] Full-loop E2E (2-file playlist, assert `Looping...` with no `CRASHED` across the boundary) — manual via `scripts/test-playout-e2e.sh`

+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [1.0.13] - 2026-08-13
+
+### Added
+
+- **Automatic media normalization on upload**: Chat backend auto-transcodes non-conforming uploads. New `media.NormalizeVideo` wraps ffmpeg with the Linear Void profile (H.264/AAC, 30fps, 2s keyframes, yuv420p, 48kHz stereo), re-verifies output with ffprobe, and writes `*.normalized.mp4`. Media records gain `normalizing` / `normalization_failed` statuses; `POST /api/admin/media/{id}/normalize` re-triggers manually. Admin UI shows a "Normalize" action with status polling.
+- **R2 segment retention**: Playout `cleanupOldSegments` deletes `hls/r-*/*` objects older than `R2_SEGMENT_RETENTION_HOURS` (default 24h), run hourly + at startup, never touching the live manifest. Exposes `linearvoid_playout_r2_cleanup_objects_total` metric. `.env.example` adds `R2_SEGMENT_RETENTION_HOURS`.
+- **Playout loop metrics**: `linearvoid_playout_loops_total` (clean completions) and `linearvoid_playout_run_duration_seconds` (last run duration).
+- **Runtime configuration store**: Thread-safe, JSON-persisted runtime config (`HLS_SEGMENT_DURATION`, `HLS_WINDOW_SIZE`, `MATOMO_URL`, `MATOMO_SITE_ID`) with typed getters/setters + validation, editable via `GET/PUT /api/admin/config`. Playout reads the shared `config.json` as env fallback.
+- **Matomo analytics**: Viewer pageview snippet in `index.html` driven by the public `GET /api/matomo` endpoint.
+- **Chat user accounts**: Register/login/logout (`POST /api/auth/register`, `/login`, `/logout`, `GET /api/auth/session`), bcrypt password hashing, `linearvoid_user_session` cookie, and a viewer sign-in UI.
+- **Private DM history & search**: `GET /api/dm/history` (paginated) and `GET /api/dm/search`, with a DM search UI in the viewer.
+- **Chat UI polish**: Typing indicator, user-list toggle, media status badges, and an "Add to playlist" action gated to `ready` media.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Playout seamless looping**: `main()` now only resets HLS output when the playlist changed (SHA-256 `playlistRevision`), on crash/slate recovery, or first run; otherwise it continues segment numbering via `-start_number` and prunes stale segments. Eliminates the viewer gap on clean playlist loops.
+- **Single playout entrypoint**: `start-playout.sh` now runs `/app/playlist-manager -validate` then `exec`s the Go binary, removing the duplicate shell ffmpeg loop. Added a `-validate` mode to `main()`.
+- **Admin media library**: Shows status badges (`ready`/`needs_normalization`/`normalizing`/`failed`) and only offers "Add to playlist" for `ready` media; playlist entries show per-item status badges.
+- **Prometheus TSDB retention**: The `prometheus` service now sets `--storage.tsdb.retention.time=30d` and `--storage.tsdb.retention.size=15GB` (in both `docker-compose.yml` and `docker-compose.prod.yml`), so metrics older than 30 days are deleted.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Media: `TestNormalizationArgs`, `TestNormalizeVideo_FFmpegError`.
+- Handlers: `TestNormalizeMediaRecord_Success`, `TestNormalizeMediaRecord_Failure`, `TestHandleAdminMediaByID_Normalize`.
+- Playout: `TestCleanupOldSegments`, `TestR2SegmentRetentionHours`, `TestPlaylistFingerprint`, `TestHLSNextStartNumber`, `TestLoadSharedHLSConfig`.
+- Config: `runtime_test.go` (get/set, persist/reload, env fallback, validation).
+- Auth: `TestUserSessionStore`.
+- Handlers: config GET/PUT + validation, DM history/search, user register/login/session.
+
+## [1.0.12] - 2026-08-11
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Task tracking consolidated**: Removed `DEVELOPMENT.md` and moved all development tasks to `.github/instructions/BACKLOG.md` as the single source of truth. `TODO.md` updated to reference `BACKLOG.md` and `DONE.md`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Playout R2 endpoint validation**: `initR2Client()` now validates all required R2 environment variables (`R2_ENDPOINT`, `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `R2_BUCKET_NAME`) before creating the S3 client. Previously, an empty `R2_ENDPOINT` caused cryptic `Custom endpoint '' was not a valid URI` errors on every segment upload attempt. Playout now gracefully degrades when R2 is not configured — local HLS via nginx continues to work.
+- **CD workflow missing R2 secrets**: `.gitea/workflows/cd.yml` "Prepare environment" step now injects all R2\_ variables (`R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `R2_BUCKET_NAME`, `R2_ENDPOINT`, plus admin variants) from Gitea secrets. Previously the generated `.env` was missing R2 entirely, causing the playout container to start with an empty endpoint.
+- **Deployment docs**: `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` now includes explicit R2 and Cloudflare variable lists plus a "Gitea Secrets" table documenting all 15 required secrets.
+
+## [1.0.11] - 2026-08-10
+
+### Added
+
+- **Phase 1 test fixtures**: Media and playlist test fixtures in `backend/playout/testdata/` with ffmpeg generation commands documented in test headers.
+- **Phase 4 R2 integration**: `SyncToR2` now sets `CacheControl` + `ContentType` based on file extension (immutable segments, short-lived manifests). Three integration tests added.
+- **Phase 2 viewer tests**: Presence updates (join/leave/sorted), private DM flow, message rendering (system/self/other) in `main.test.ts` (27 total tests).
+- **Phase 3 admin tests**: Playlist management (save via PUT, error handling, sortable rendering) in `admin.test.ts` (31 total tests passing).
+
+### Changed
+
+- Exported `savePlaylist` and `renderPlaylistSortable` from `admin.ts` for testing.
+
+## [1.0.10] - 2026-08-09
+
+### Added
+
+- **WebSocket summary helper**: Added `scripts/loadtest/summarize-artillery.ps1` to extract counters, rates, and available percentile stats from Artillery JSON output.
+- **Playbook worksheet mapping**: Added artifact-to-worksheet mapping section in `docs/operations/scaling-performance-playbook.md` for WebSocket and Admin API benchmark artifacts.
+- **Test fixture generation docs**: Added ffmpeg commands for generating valid and invalid media fixtures as comments in `backend/playout/src/playlist_test.go`. Phase 1 test fixtures now complete.
+- **R2 cache header support**: `SyncToR2` now sets `CacheControl` and `ContentType` based on file extension:
+  - `.m4s`/`.ts`/`.mp4`/`.m4a` → immutable (max-age=31536000)
+  - `.m3u8` → short-lived (max-age=2s)
+  - unknown → no cache headers
+- **R2 integration tests**: Added `TestSyncToR2_ManifestCacheHeaders` and `TestSyncToR2_NoCacheHeadersForUnknownExt` verifying cache header behavior for segment, manifest, and unknown file types.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Loadtest runner**: `scripts/loadtest/run-loadtests.ps1` now generates `ws-chat-summary.txt` automatically for `ws` and `all` scenarios.
+- **Loadtest docs**: `scripts/loadtest/README.md` now documents `summarize-artillery.ps1` usage and the new `ws-chat-summary.txt` artifact.
+- **Planning status wording**: Updated `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` and `.github/instructions/TODO.md` to mark ws/admin benchmark scaffolding complete while benchmark execution remains pending.
+- **Phase 1 complete**: Test fixture creation and ffmpeg documentation marked done.
+- **Phase 4 partially complete**: R2 upload + cache header validation done; edge cache hit/miss validation remains manual.
+- **Phase 2 frontend tests**: Added presence updates (join/leave rendering), private DM flow, and message rendering tests in `main.test.ts` (27 total tests passing).
+- **Phase 3 admin frontend tests**: Added playlist management tests (save via PUT, error handling, sortable rendering) in `admin.test.ts` (31 total tests passing).
+
+## [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.
+- **Runtime checks**: Executed normalization edge-case tests (MOV, MKV, VFR, 5.1 input) and concat continuity verification in running playout environment.
+- **Incident runbook**: Added quarterly disaster recovery drill procedure with prerequisites, outage simulation, restore validation, and evidence template.
+- **Manual ops checklist**: Added `docs/operations/cloudflare-uptimerobot-checklist.md` to execute and record Cloudflare + UptimeRobot dashboard tasks with evidence capture.
+- **Scaling playbook**: Added `docs/operations/scaling-performance-playbook.md` with benchmark methods, trigger thresholds, and Phase 2/3 scaling decision flow.
+
+### 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.
+- **Viewer mobile overflow**: Replaced `100vw` with `100%` on full-screen viewer containers to remove horizontal overflow on mobile viewports.
+
+### 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.

-- Observability: prometheus, grafana
-- CDN/edge: Cloudflare
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Docker Engine + Docker Compose plugin
-- Network access to git.allucanget.biz
-- A valid .env file with production values
-- DNS configured for linearvoid.tv (and media.linearvoid.tv if split media domain is used)
-
-## Environment File
-
-Use .env with at least:
-
-- CI_REGISTRY_URL
-- CI_REGISTRY_NAMESPACE
-- CHAT_PORT

-## Zero/Low-Downtime Update Pattern
-
-1. Pull newest images.
-1. Recreate changed services only:
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
-
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d nginx chat playout
-```
-
-1. Re-run health checks.
-
-## Rollback
-
-If new images are unhealthy:
-
-1. Pin previous tags in docker-compose.prod.yml.
-2. Pull pinned tags.
-3. Restart impacted services.
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
-
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d nginx chat playout
-```
-
-## Operational Tasks
-
-### View logs
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f nginx chat playout
-```
-
-### Restart one service
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart chat
-```
-
-### Stop stack
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
-```
-
-### Keep volumes (recommended) vs remove volumes (destructive)
-
-```bash
-# keep data
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
-
-# destructive (remove data)
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down -v
-```
-
-## Nginx and Proxy Considerations
-
-- If an external proxy (for example Nginx Proxy Manager) fronts the stack, align request body limits with internal nginx.
-- For resumable admin uploads, ensure client_max_body_size supports chunk requests in both proxy layers.
-
-## Security Baseline
-
-- Use strong ADMIN_PASSWORD and rotate regularly.
-- Keep Docker host access restricted.
-- Prefer HTTPS/WSS through Cloudflare.
-- Restrict exposed ports if only proxy access is needed.
-
-## Common Deployment Pitfalls
-
-- Missing frontend build artifacts in local-only compose workflows.
-- Wrong registry credentials or missing login.
-- Misaligned domain env vars (app/ws/hls) causing mixed-origin errors.
-- Proxy-layer body size limits returning 413 on upload.
-- Health checks failing before service warmup is complete.

-# Monitoring Guide
-
-This guide covers Prometheus and Grafana setup for Linear Void.
-
-## Current Monitoring Components
-
-- 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:
-  - name: Prometheus
-    type: prometheus
-    access: proxy
-  url: http://prometheus:9090
-    isDefault: true
-```
-
-## Dashboard References
-
-- Provisioned dashboard: [monitoring/grafana/dashboards/dashboard.json](monitoring/grafana/dashboards/dashboard.json)
-- Root dashboard snapshot: [monitoring/grafana/dashboard.json](monitoring/grafana/dashboard.json)
-
-Grafana screenshot:
-
-![Grafana dashboard screenshot](docs/img/grafana-screenshot.png)
-
-## Key Metrics to Track
-
-### Chat/Application
-
-- linearvoid_chat_connected_clients
-- linearvoid_chat_stored_messages_total
-- linearvoid_chat_moderation_actions_total
-- linearvoid_chat_redis_enabled
-- linearvoid_chat_redis_up
-- linearvoid_chat_active_admin_sessions
-
-### Prometheus Runtime
-
-- up
-- process_cpu_seconds_total
-- process_resident_memory_bytes
-- prometheus_tsdb_head_series
-- prometheus_tsdb_wal_writes_failed_total
-- prometheus_tsdb_compactions_failed_total
-
-## Suggested Alerts
-
-Create a Prometheus rules file (for example monitoring/prometheus/alerts.yml) and wire it into Prometheus.
-
-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
-
-## 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.
-
-### Grafana shows no data
-
-- Ensure datasource points to <http://prometheus:9090>.
-- Confirm Prometheus is healthy.
-- Check dashboard query labels match active jobs.
-
-### High cardinality or query slowness
-
-- Reduce unneeded labels.
-- Limit expensive dashboard panels.
-- Tune retention and query windows.
-
-## Operational Recommendations
-
-- Keep alert thresholds tied to actual user impact.
-- Review dashboards after each release that changes endpoints or metrics names.
-- Periodically test alert routing and incident response flow.

-### Folder Explanations
-
-- **`frontend/`**: The viewer experience — minimal, modern SPA with Tailwind + Alpine.js (or vanilla). Uses `hls.js` for playback and a WebSocket client for chat.
-- **`backend/playout/`**: Core linear engine. FFmpeg consumes a normalized playlist and outputs continuous HLS. Includes normalization validation.
-- **`backend/chat/`**: Independent WebSocket service (Node.js/Socket.io or Go). Handles public rooms, private DMs, presence (Redis), persistence (PostgreSQL/SQLite), rate limiting, and moderation.
-- **`backend/shared/`**: Reusable code (types, utils, video validation).
-- **`infrastructure/`**: Everything needed to deploy and configure the stack (Docker, Nginx, Cloudflare rules, future Terraform).
-- **`scripts/`**: One-off and CI-friendly scripts for video preparation, R2 sync, backups, and playlist management.
-- **`monitoring/`**: Grafana dashboards, Prometheus rules, logging configuration.
-- **`docs/architecture/`**: Complete arc42 documentation + ADRs 001-007 (the single source of truth for all architectural decisions).

 This structure directly reflects the building blocks, runtime flows, deployment view, and cross-cutting concepts defined in the arc42 documentation.

 ## Development
 
 - Use Docker Compose for local development (playout + chat + frontend).
+- Test lab host: `192.168.88.40` (internal network, receives CD deploys). Production Hetzner VPS TBD.
 - Public production host model: `https://linearvoid.tv` for viewer/admin/chat and `https://media.linearvoid.tv` for HLS delivery.
 - Normalize all source videos before adding to playlist (see ADR-001 for exact codec/fps/keyframe requirements).
 - Monitor cache hit ratio and R2 operations closely — they determine real cost.

-# Security Guide
-
-This document summarizes security controls and best practices for Linear Void.
-
-## Security Model Overview
-
-Security is layered across:
-
-- Cloudflare edge
-- nginx reverse proxy
-- chat/admin backend
-- container and host operations
-
-## Authentication and Sessions
-
-Admin access is session-cookie based.
-
-- 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
-
-Best practices:
-
-- 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.
-
-## Reverse Proxy Controls
-
-nginx controls include:
-
-- 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
-
-Best practices:
-
-- Keep proxy body-size and timeout settings aligned across all proxy layers.
-- Avoid exposing backend service ports publicly unless required.
-
-## Input Validation and Upload Safety
-
-Server-side protections include:
-
-- 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
-
-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
-
-## Hardening Checklist
-
-- [ ] HTTPS/WSS enforced end-to-end
-- [ ] Strong admin credentials configured
-- [ ] Secrets only in env/secrets stores
-- [ ] Proxy auth and websocket headers validated
-- [ ] Upload limits and validation active
-- [ ] Rate limiting active and tested
-- [ ] Cloudflare WAF/rate-limit rules active
-- [ ] Backup/restore drills completed
-- [ ] Security-related monitoring alerts routed
-
-## Incident Response Baseline
-
-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.

+## 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.
+

+| Provider       | Hetzner Cloud                                    |
+| Region         | Ashburn, VA (us-east)                            |
+| Instance       | CX22 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD) or equivalent |

+
+### 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
+
+### Production Preflight
+
+Before the cutover in the plan above, treat the following as the minimum readiness gate:
+
+1. Verify the Hetzner host is reachable over SSH and Docker remote API TLS is working for the Gitea runner.
+2. Confirm all required production secrets are present under the `CI_PROD_*` prefix.
+3. Confirm `linearvoid.tv`, `www.linearvoid.tv`, and `media.linearvoid.tv` DNS targets are correct for the intended phase.
+4. Complete the manual Cloudflare/UptimeRobot checklist and attach evidence in [Cloudflare Uptimerobot checklist](../docs/operations/cloudflare-uptimerobot-checklist.md).
+5. Run the production smoke path end to end: viewer SPA, HLS playback, chat connect, admin login, upload, playlist save, and playout health.
+6. Verify rollback is still possible before the final DNS switch.
+
+Readiness is not complete until the checklist above and the manual evidence tracker are both satisfied.

+### 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 |
+| `pages-deploy.yml` | Push to `main`   | Deploy frontend to Cloudflare Pages (see `docs/operations/gitea-cloudflare-pages.md`)    |
+
+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
+```
+
+No code changes needed in the pipeline. See `DEPLOYMENT.md` Production Deployment section for full checklist.
+
+## Target Topology
+
+- Host: Linux server with Docker Engine
+- Reverse proxy: nginx container (linearvoid-nginx)
+- Core services: playout, chat, redis, postgres
+- Observability: prometheus, grafana
+- CDN/edge: Cloudflare
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Engine + Docker Compose plugin
+- Network access to git.allucanget.biz
+- A valid .env file with production values
+- DNS configured for linearvoid.tv (and media.linearvoid.tv if split media domain is used)
+
+## Environment File
+
+Use `.env` with at least:
+
+- `DATABASE_URL` — PostgreSQL connection string
+- `REDIS_URL` — Redis connection string
+- `ADMIN_USERNAME` / `ADMIN_PASSWORD` — admin dashboard credentials
+- `ADMIN_SESSION_TTL_HOURS` — session expiry (default 12)
+- `VITE_PUBLIC_APP_URL` / `VITE_PUBLIC_WS_URL` / `VITE_PUBLIC_HLS_URL` — frontend URLs
+
+**Cloudflare R2 (required for HLS segment sync to edge):**
+
+- `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` — R2 write credentials
+- `R2_BUCKET_NAME` — bucket name (e.g. `linearvoid-media`)
+- `R2_ENDPOINT` — S3-compatible endpoint URL
+- `R2_REGION` — set to `auto`
+
+**Cloudflare (optional, for Workers/Pages):**
+
+- `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` / `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`
+- `MEDIA_DOMAIN` — split media domain (e.g. `media.linearvoid.tv`)
+
+See `.env.example` and `SETUP.md` for full variable reference.
+
+### Gitea Secrets
+
+The CD workflow (`cd.yml`) injects sensitive values from Gitea secrets into the `.env` file at deploy time. The following secrets must be configured in the Gitea repository:
+
+| Secret Name               | Description                          |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `DATABASE_URL`            | PostgreSQL connection string         |
+| `ADMIN_USERNAME`          | Admin dashboard username             |
+| `ADMIN_PASSWORD`          | Admin dashboard password             |
+| `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`        | Cloudflare R2 access key             |
+| `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`    | Cloudflare R2 secret key             |
+| `R2_BUCKET_NAME`          | R2 bucket name                       |
+| `R2_ENDPOINT`             | R2 S3-compatible endpoint URL        |
+| `R2_ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY_ID`  | R2 admin access key (optional)       |
+| `R2_ADMIN_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` | R2 admin secret key (optional)    |
+| `R2_ADMIN_ENDPOINT`       | R2 admin endpoint (optional)         |
+| `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`    | Cloudflare API token (optional)      |
+| `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`   | Cloudflare account ID (optional)     |
+| `CI_REGISTRY_USER`        | Gitea container registry username    |
+| `CI_REGISTRY_TOKEN`       | Gitea container registry token       |
+
+## Pull-and-Run Deployment
+
+Images are built and pushed automatically by the CI and release workflows (see [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md#versioning-and-releases) for the release procedure).
+
+Every push to `main` triggers CI (builds `:main` and `:latest` tags) and CD (deploys `:latest` to test lab) in parallel. Semantic version tags (`*.*.*`, e.g. `1.0.9`) trigger the release workflow which builds `:X.Y.Z`, `:X.Y`, and `:latest` tags and creates a Gitea Release.
+
+From repository root:
+
+```bash
+docker login git.allucanget.biz
+
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --remove-orphans
+```
+
+## First-Time or Recovery Provisioning
+
+1. Ensure host paths exist:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p data/chat data/playlist data/media data/hls
+```
+
+1. Confirm volumes and networks:
+
+```bash
+docker volume ls
+docker network ls
+```
+
+1. Start stack:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
+```
+
+## Health Verification
+
+After startup, check service status:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
+```
+
+Endpoint checks:
+
+- App: <http://{host}:8080/>
+- Nginx health: <http://{host}:8080/health>
+- Chat health: <http://{host}:3000/health>
+- Playout health: <http://{host}:8081/health>
+- Prometheus: <http://{host}:9090>
+- Grafana: <http://{host}:3001>
+
+Domain checks:
+
+- <https://linearvoid.tv>
+- <https://linearvoid.tv/admin>
+- <https://linearvoid.tv/metrics>
+
+## Zero/Low-Downtime Update Pattern
+
+1. Pull newest images.
+1. Recreate changed services only:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
+
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d nginx chat playout
+```
+
+1. Re-run health checks.
+
+## Rollback
+
+If new images are unhealthy:
+
+1. Pin previous tags in docker-compose.prod.yml.
+2. Pull pinned tags.
+3. Restart impacted services.
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
+
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d nginx chat playout
+```
+
+## Operational Tasks
+
+### View logs
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f nginx chat playout
+```
+
+### Restart one service
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart chat
+```
+
+### Stop stack
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
+```
+
+### Keep volumes (recommended) vs remove volumes (destructive)
+
+```bash
+# keep data
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
+
+# destructive (remove data)
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down -v
+```
+
+## Nginx and Proxy Considerations
+
+- If an external proxy (for example Nginx Proxy Manager) fronts the stack, align request body limits with internal nginx, see [nginx.conf](../infrastructure/nginx/nginx.conf).
+- For resumable admin uploads, ensure client_max_body_size supports chunk requests in both proxy layers.
+
+## Security Baseline
+
+- Use strong ADMIN_PASSWORD and rotate regularly.
+- Keep Docker host access restricted.
+- Prefer HTTPS/WSS through Cloudflare.
+- Restrict exposed ports if only proxy access is needed.
+
+## Common Deployment Pitfalls
+
+- Missing frontend build artifacts in local-only compose workflows.
+- Wrong registry credentials or missing login.
+- Misaligned domain env vars (app/ws/hls) causing mixed-origin errors.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom                    | Check                                         | Fix                                                           |
+| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Service not starting       | `docker logs linearvoid-<svc> --tail 50`      | Check `.env` vars, volume mounts, port conflicts              |
+| Playout stall / slate mode | `curl http://<host>:8081/health` — mode=slate | Check playlist file, media paths, disk space                  |
+| Chat not connecting        | `curl http://<host>:3000/health`              | Check Redis: `docker exec linearvoid-redis redis-cli ping`    |
+| Admin 401 loop             | Cookie not sent                               | Verify `X-Forwarded-Proto: https`, nginx auth_request headers |
+| Upload fails (413)         | File too large                                | Check nginx `client_max_body_size` (should be 64m+)           |
+| HLS not playing            | `curl http://<host>/hls/playlist.m3u8`        | Check playout health, HLS dir permissions                     |
+| Prometheus no targets      | `curl http://<host>:9090/targets`             | Verify container network, scrape config                       |
+| Grafana no data            | Check datasource                              | Verify Prometheus URL `http://prometheus:9090` provisioned    |
+
+- Proxy-layer body size limits returning 413 on upload.
+- Health checks failing before service warmup is complete.

+
+## Access
+
+- Prometheus: `http://<host>:9090` (targets, graph, alerts)
+- Grafana: `http://<host>:3001` (default: admin/admin, change via `GRAFANA_PASSWORD`)
+
+## Dashboards
+
+- **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
+
+## Metrics checking
+
+See detailed scripts for querying Prometheus scrape targets:
+
+- [Linux/macOS](./infrastructure/monitoring/prometheus_curl.md)
+
+## Key Metrics
+
+- `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
+
+| Symptom                 | Check                                                                |
+| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| No chat metrics         | `curl http://chat:3000/metrics` from Prometheus container            |
+| No exporter metrics     | Verify exporter containers running: `docker ps \| grep exporter`     |
+| Grafana no data         | Datasource URL must be `http://prometheus:9090`                      |
+| Prometheus targets down | Check container network: all must be on `linearvoid-net`             |
+| Alert not firing        | Check Prometheus → Alerts tab, verify `rule_files` in prometheus.yml |
+
+### Grafana shows no data
+
+- Ensure datasource points to <http://prometheus:9090>.
+- Confirm Prometheus is healthy.
+- Check dashboard query labels match active jobs.
+
+### High cardinality or query slowness
+
+- Reduce unneeded labels.
+- Limit expensive dashboard panels.
+- Tune retention and query windows.
+
+## Operational Recommendations
+
+- Keep alert thresholds tied to actual user impact.
+- Review dashboards after each release that changes endpoints or metrics names.
+- Periodically test alert routing and incident response flow.
+- Metrics retention is set to **30 days** time-based plus a **15GB** size cap (`--storage.tsdb.retention.time=30d --storage.tsdb.retention.size=15GB` on the `prometheus` service in `docker-compose.yml` and `docker-compose.prod.yml`). Increase the size cap before extending the time window so the TSDB does not hit the disk limit first.

+- 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
+
+- `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
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+| Resource          | Limit | Window |
+| ----------------- | ----- | ------ |
+| WebSocket connect | 5/IP  | 60s    |
+| Chat messages     | 10/IP | 10s    |
+| Admin login       | 5/IP  | 5min   |
+
+Implemented via Redis `INCR` + `EXPIRE`.
+
+## Secrets Management
+
+- `.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
+
+## Data Protection
+
+- 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 (Cloudflare Full strict)
+- [ ] Strong admin credentials configured
+- [ ] Secrets only in env/secrets stores (never committed)
+- [ ] Proxy auth and websocket headers validated
+- [ ] Upload limits and MIME validation active
+- [ ] Rate limiting active (WS, messages, login)
+- [ ] Cloudflare WAF/rate-limit rules active
+- [ ] Backup/restore drills completed
+- [ ] Security alerts routed (Prometheus alertmanager)
+
+## Incident Response
+
+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`

+   - Confirm uploads with an S3-compatible client such as `aws s3 ls --endpoint-url <R2_ENDPOINT>`.
+   - After deployment, check Cloudflare analytics for cache hit ratio and origin request volume.
+
+## Cloudflare
+
+Use this section for full edge setup (DNS, Pages, cache, security, and monitoring).
+
+Execution tracker: `docs/operations/cloudflare-uptimerobot-checklist.md`.
+
+### 1. DNS Setup
+
+1. Add apex record for `linearvoid.tv` pointing to Cloudflare Pages target.
+2. Add `www` CNAME to Cloudflare Pages and configure redirect to `https://linearvoid.tv`.
+3. Add `media.linearvoid.tv` for split-domain HLS delivery.
+4. Keep all records proxied (orange cloud) unless troubleshooting requires DNS-only mode.
+
+### 2. R2 Bucket
+
+1. Create bucket `linearvoid-media`.
+2. Set location hint to `enam` (US-East).
+3. Attach custom domain `media.linearvoid.tv` to the bucket.
+4. Configure CORS rules to allow `https://linearvoid.tv` for HLS delivery.
+5. Verify object read works from the custom domain.
+
+### 3. Cache Rules
+
+Configure Cloudflare Cache Rules:
+
+1. HLS segment files (`*.ts`, `*.m4s`):
+   - Cache: eligible
+   - Edge TTL: `31536000`
+   - Browser TTL: long-lived
+   - Cache key: include full path
+2. HLS manifests (`*.m3u8`):
+   - Cache: eligible
+   - Edge TTL: `2s`
+   - Revalidation: enabled
+3. Static assets (`*.js`, `*.css`):
+   - Cache: eligible
+   - Edge TTL: `1y`
+   - Browser TTL: long-lived
+   - Cache key: include full path
+4. Validate behavior using response headers:
+   - `Cf-Cache-Status` should move from `MISS` to `HIT` for hot objects
+
+Reference: [cache-rules](../docs/infrastructure/cloudflare/cache-rules.md).
+
+### 4. Cloudflare Pages
+
+Also see [the automated Gitea Actions deployment guide](./operations/gitea-cloudflare-pages.md).
+
+Manual setup:
+
+1. Connect Gitea repository to Cloudflare Pages.
+2. Build command:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd frontend && npm run build
+   ```
+
+3. Output directory:
+
+   ```text
+   frontend/dist
+   ```
+
+4. Configure production domain to `linearvoid.tv`.
+
+### 5. Tiered Cache
+
+1. Enable Smart Tiered Cache in Cloudflare dashboard.
+2. Warm a segment and manifest path.
+3. Confirm tiered behavior through repeated requests and `Cf-Cache-Status: HIT`.
+
+### 6. WAF and Bot Protection
+
+1. Enable OWASP Managed Ruleset.
+2. Start in `Simulate` mode.
+3. Review events for 48 hours.
+4. Switch to `Block` once false positives are addressed.
+5. Enable Bot Fight Mode.
+
+### 7. Rate Limiting
+
+Create rules:
+
+1. Path: `/api/admin/login`
+2. Path: `/api/admin/*`
+3. Threshold: `10 requests / 10 seconds / IP`
+4. Action: `Managed Challenge`
+
+### 8. HTTPS and WSS
+
+1. Enable `Always Use HTTPS`.
+2. Enable HSTS with:
+   - `max-age=31536000`
+   - `includeSubDomains`
+   - `preload`
+3. Minimum TLS version: `1.2`.
+4. Keep SSL mode at `Full (strict)` when origin certs are valid.
+5. Enforce HTTPS redirect at both layers:
+   - Cloudflare edge
+   - nginx origin
+6. Validate websocket endpoint uses `wss://linearvoid.tv/ws`.
+
+### 9. UptimeRobot Monitors
+
+Create external monitors:
+
+1. HTTP monitor:
+   - URL: `https://linearvoid.tv/health`
+   - Interval: 5 minutes
+2. Keyword monitor:
+   - URL: `https://linearvoid.tv/hls/playlist.m3u8`
+   - Keyword: `#EXTM3U`
+   - Interval: 5 minutes
+3. Alert policy:
+   - Trigger on 2 consecutive failures
+   - Notify via email and Discord/Slack webhook
+
+### 10. Verification Checklist
+
+1. DNS resolves for `linearvoid.tv`, `www.linearvoid.tv`, and `media.linearvoid.tv`.
+2. Pages serves frontend for apex and `www` redirects correctly.
+3. HLS segments are cacheable long-term, manifests refresh every ~2s.
+4. Admin paths are rate-limited and WAF events are visible.
+5. HTTPS and WSS both succeed with valid certificates.
+6. UptimeRobot alerts fire as expected when endpoints are intentionally made unavailable.

+# Streaming Pipeline
+
+This document is the operational contract for Linear Void video ingest, playout, publication, caching, and browser playback. General deployment, chat, and admin details remain in `DEPLOYMENT.md`, `SETUP.md`, and `API.md`.
+
+## Production flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["Normalized MP4 assets"] --> B["Playlist and schedule"]
+    B --> C["Playout service and FFmpeg"]
+    C --> D["Local HLS staging"]
+    D --> E["R2 object storage"]
+    E --> F["Cloudflare edge"]
+    F --> G["hls.js or native HLS"]
+```
+
+The playout service is the timeline authority. It reads the ordered playlist, runs FFmpeg continuously, stages a live HLS window under `data/hls/`, and publishes complete objects to R2. Viewers read only the public R2 custom domain through Cloudflare:
+
+```text
+https://media.linearvoid.tv/hls/playlist.m3u8
+```
+
+Nginx `/hls/` is a local/test fallback, not the production media origin. The SPA, admin API, and chat use `linearvoid.tv`; media uses `media.linearvoid.tv`.
+
+## Source-media contract
+
+Only validated files may enter the production playlist.
+
+| Property   | Required profile                                                         |

+| Video      | H.264/AVC, `yuv420p`                                                     |
+| Resolution | 1280x720 or 1920x1080; avoid changing resolution within a playlist block |
+| Frame rate | Constant 30 fps                                                          |
+| GOP        | Closed, fixed 2 seconds: `-g 60 -keyint_min 60 -sc_threshold 0`          |
+| Audio      | AAC-LC, stereo, 48 kHz, 128–192 kbit/s                                   |
+
+The ingest gate uses `ffprobe` to reject incompatible codecs, variable frame rate, missing audio, invalid dimensions, or incorrect keyframe cadence. Assets are immutable after acceptance; corrections create a new asset ID and object key.
+
+Reference normalization:
+
+```bash
+ffmpeg -i input.mov \

+  -c:a aac -b:a 160k -ar 48000 -ac 2 \
+  -movflags +faststart \
+  output-normalized.mp4
+```
+
+## Playlist and timeline
+
+- `data/playlist/playlist.txt` contains one local media path per line; blank lines and `#` comments are ignored.
+- The service validates the complete playlist before activating a revision.
+- Playlist edits are written atomically and receive a revision ID. The active FFmpeg run keeps its current item and adopts the new revision at the next item boundary.
+- All viewers follow the same live manifest; clients do not calculate the schedule independently.
+- Schedule metadata must be derived from the same active playlist revision and timeline so “now/next” agrees with the video.
+- When the last item ends, playout returns to the first item unless an active schedule override says otherwise.
+
+## Playout and HLS packaging
+
+The playout service wraps FFmpeg, tracks the active item and playlist revision, restarts failed processes, and exposes `/health` plus Prometheus metrics.
+
+Baseline packaging:
+
+| Setting          | Value                                                                                 |

+| Segment format   | fMP4 (`.m4s`) with an initialization segment; `.ts` may be supported during migration |
+| Segment target   | 6 seconds (`HLS_SEGMENT_DURATION=6`)                                                  |
+| Live window      | 24 segments (`HLS_WINDOW_SIZE=24`), about 144 seconds                                 |
+| Codec path       | Stream copy for conforming assets; no per-viewer transcoding                          |
+| Expected latency | 15–35 seconds                                                                         |
+
+Segment boundaries must align with keyframes. Timestamps must remain monotonic across item boundaries. If FFmpeg cannot preserve a seamless timeline, insert `#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY` and publish the corresponding new initialization segment.
+
+Every segment name is globally unique and never reused, including after a restart or playlist loop. Use a run/session ID plus a monotonically increasing media sequence, for example:
+
+```text
+hls/r-20260807T170412Z/init-000001.mp4
+hls/r-20260807T170412Z/seg-000001234.m4s
+```
+
+This naming rule is essential: a URL advertised as immutable must never later contain different bytes.
+
+## Safe publication to R2
+
+Publication order prevents a manifest from referencing an unavailable segment:
+
+1. FFmpeg writes a segment to a temporary local name and closes it.
+2. The publisher uploads the initialization segment, if new, and media segment to their final immutable R2 keys.
+3. It verifies successful upload and records object size/checksum.
+4. It renders the next media manifest referencing only confirmed objects.
+5. It uploads the manifest to a temporary key, then replaces `hls/playlist.m3u8` as the final commit step.
+
+Never upload an actively written segment or publish the manifest first. Use a single publisher instance, or fencing/leader election, so two playout workers cannot update the live manifest concurrently.
+
+The local `data/hls/` directory is staging data and may be regenerated. Source media, playlist revisions, and schedule state are authoritative; generated HLS is not backed up as application state.
+
+## Cache contract
+
+| Objects                    | Edge policy                        | Browser policy                          | Required headers/behavior                                                    |
+| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `.m4s`, `.ts`, init `.mp4` | Cache eligible; TTL 1 year         | TTL 1 year                              | `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`; full path in cache key |
+| Live `.m3u8`               | Cache eligible; edge TTL 2 seconds | Do not retain beyond freshness interval | `Cache-Control: public, max-age=1, s-maxage=2, must-revalidate`              |
+| Versioned JS/CSS           | Cache eligible; TTL 1 year         | TTL 1 year                              | Content-hashed filenames and `immutable`                                     |
+
+Further rules:
+
+- Do not add query-string cache busters to segment URLs; uniqueness belongs in the path.
+- Cache keys must preserve hostname and full path. Ignore only explicitly approved tracking parameters.
+- HLS responses require `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://linearvoid.tv` (or the reviewed origin allowlist), `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS` support, and correct MIME types.
+- Enable Smart Tiered Cache for `media.linearvoid.tv` to reduce R2 reads on regional misses.
+- Purge manifests when necessary, but never purge immutable segments during normal operation.
+- Retain expired-window segments in R2 for at least the maximum manifest TTL plus client retry/grace time. A practical minimum is one hour; lifecycle deletion may run later according to storage policy.
+
+Expected validation:
+
+```bash
+curl -I https://media.linearvoid.tv/hls/playlist.m3u8
+curl -I https://media.linearvoid.tv/hls/<segment>.m4s
+```
+
+The manifest must refresh within a few seconds. Repeated segment requests should progress from `CF-Cache-Status: MISS` to `HIT`, retain the same ETag/content length, and carry the immutable cache header.
+
+## Player behavior
+
+The SPA uses native HLS where supported and hls.js elsewhere.
+
+- Start at the live edge with a conservative buffer; do not seek to playlist start.
+- Treat the manifest as the synchronization source and target roughly three segments behind the newest segment unless testing supports a smaller margin.
+- Recover transient network/media errors with bounded retries and exponential backoff.
+- On a fatal hls.js network error, reload the manifest; on a fatal media error, attempt media recovery once before recreating the player.
+- When tab suspension or drift leaves playback materially behind the target live position, seek forward to the target rather than playing the backlog.
+- Surface a clear reconnecting state. Never silently loop stale media.
+- Schedule/chat timestamps should account for the measured player latency rather than assuming wall-clock playout is already visible.
+
+## Failure and recovery
+
+The service retries an item failure with a bounded backoff. After the configured failure threshold it switches to a pre-normalized looping slate and reports `mode=slate`. It periodically retries normal playout and returns only after a segment and committed manifest have been published successfully.
+
+On process or host restart:
+
+- create a new run/session ID and continue with globally unique segment paths;
+- resume from the schedule-derived current position when reliable state exists, otherwise start the current playlist item;
+- never overwrite old segment objects;
+- keep the last valid manifest available until the replacement stream is playable;
+- emit a discontinuity when timeline continuity cannot be guaranteed.
+
+Health is not merely “process running.” `/health` should report at least mode (`live`, `slate`, `starting`, `degraded`), active item, playlist revision, run ID, last segment sequence/time, last successful R2 publication, consecutive failures, and uptime. Mark the service unhealthy if the manifest or media sequence has not advanced for more than two segment durations.
+
+## Monitoring and acceptance checks
+
+Monitor and alert on:
+
+- manifest age and media-sequence advancement;
+- time since last successfully published segment;
+- FFmpeg restarts and consecutive item failures;
+- live/slate mode;
+- R2 upload latency and errors;
+- segment 404/5xx rate and manifest/segment request latency;
+- Cloudflare cache-hit ratio, origin requests, and R2 Class B operations;
+- player startup time, fatal errors, rebuffer ratio, and live-edge drift;
+- local staging disk usage.
+
+A release is streaming-ready only when one full playlist boundary has played without timestamp errors, the manifest never references a missing object, a second viewer joins the same timeline, cache headers match the table above, a forced FFmpeg failure activates the slate, and normal playout recovers without reusing an object URL.

+
+Production values are `MEDIA_DOMAIN=media.linearvoid.tv` and `VITE_PUBLIC_HLS_URL=https://media.linearvoid.tv/hls/playlist.m3u8`. Local fallback may use `http://localhost/hls/playlist.m3u8`.
+
+## Explicitly deferred
+
+Adaptive-bitrate ladders, LL-HLS, DVR/catch-up, multi-origin playout, and regional chat affinity are outside the v1 contract. Adding any of them requires an ADR and an update to this document.

+#### 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 (`.m4s` and `.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); `-validate` mode checks the playlist without running the loop
+- **Seamless looping**: Only resets HLS output when the playlist fingerprint (SHA-256) changes, on crash/slate recovery, or first run; otherwise continues segment numbering via `-start_number`
+- **R2 retention**: `cleanupOldSegments` deletes `hls/r-*/*` objects older than `R2_SEGMENT_RETENTION_HOURS` (default 24h) hourly + at startup
+- **Shared config**: Reads the runtime `config.json` (`loadSharedHLSConfig`) as an env fallback for HLS segment duration/window
+
+#### 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`)
+

 ### CI/CD Pipeline Architecture
 
-The deployment follows a two-stage pipeline: **CI builds and pushes images**, then **CD pulls and deploys** them to the production host.
+The deployment uses parallel workflows on each push to `main`: **CI builds and pushes images** while **CD deploys latest images** to the test lab. A dedicated release workflow handles semantic version tags. Current runtime target is the **test lab** (192.168.88.40). Production Hetzner VPS is planned but not yet provisioned — the same pipeline will deploy there by changing `DOCKER_HOST`.

+# 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
+

+
+## Quarterly Disaster Recovery Drill
+
+Goal: validate recovery targets under controlled host-loss simulation.
+
+**Recovery targets:** RPO <= 24h, RTO <= 60min.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Latest backup artifacts available from `scripts/backup-db.sh` and `scripts/backup-weekly.sh`
+- Operator access to Docker host and DNS controls
+- Current deployment variables available (`.env`, compose file, image tags)
+
+### Drill Scope
+
+- Simulate complete origin loss (all app containers unavailable)
+- Rebuild stack on clean host
+- Restore DB and media/playlist mounts
+- Verify viewer playback, chat, admin auth, monitoring targets
+
+### Drill Steps
+
+1. Record drill start timestamp and on-call participants.
+2. Capture pre-drill baseline:
+   - `curl -fsS http://<origin>/health`
+   - `curl -fsS http://<origin>:3000/health`
+   - `curl -fsS http://<origin>:8081/health`
+3. Simulate origin outage:
+   - `docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down`
+4. Provision clean recovery host (or clean test-lab VM) and copy deployment bundle.
+5. Restore required data paths:
+   - `data/playlist/`
+   - `data/media/`
+   - `data/chat/`
+   - `data/hls/` (optional warm cache)
+6. Restore database from latest backup dump.
+7. Start stack:
+   - `docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d`
+8. Validate service health and runtime:
+   - `docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"`
+   - `curl -fsS http://<origin>/health`
+   - `curl -fsS http://<origin>/hls/playlist.m3u8 | head -n 5`
+   - `curl -fsS http://<origin>:9090/-/ready`
+9. Validate app behavior:
+   - Viewer SPA loads and HLS plays
+   - WebSocket chat connects and message round-trip works
+   - Admin login/session endpoint returns success
+10. Run backup integrity check:
+    - `scripts/verify-backups.sh`
+11. Record drill end timestamp and compute measured RTO/RPO.
+
+### Pass/Fail Criteria
+
+- Pass if all core services healthy and functional in <= 60 minutes.
+- Pass if latest recoverable data point is <= 24 hours old.
+- Fail if any critical path remains degraded (playout, chat, admin auth, monitoring).
+
+### Evidence Template
+
+Document each drill in incident tracker with:
+
+- Date/time window
+- Environment (test-lab, staging, production)
+- Backup artifact IDs and timestamps
+- Measured RTO and RPO
+- Issues found and remediation owner
+- Follow-up ticket links

+**WAF**: Enable basic rate limiting and bot management for /ws and admin routes.
+
+These rules ensure high cache hit ratio for .m4s and .ts segments while keeping live manifests fresh. Monitor cache hit ratio in Cloudflare analytics.

+# Cloudflare Pages & Workers Setup — Linear Void
+
+Linear Void uses two Cloudflare products:
+
+| Product     | Purpose            | What                                                                                 |
+| ----------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **Pages**   | Static SPA hosting | Vite-built frontend (`frontend/dist`) deployed via Git integration or Direct Upload  |
+| **Workers** | Edge cache logic   | `infrastructure/cloudflare/worker.js` — adds immutable cache headers to HLS segments |
+
+Both are managed under **Workers & Pages** in the Cloudflare dashboard.
+
+## Dashboard URLs
+
+| Resource                 | URL                                                                                                                 |

+
+## Worker: `linearvoid` (edge cache headers)
+
+The Worker at `infrastructure/cloudflare/worker.js` runs on the `linearvoid` Workers service. It intercepts requests and adds immutable `Cache-Control` headers to `.m4s` segment files.
+
+Deploy via Wrangler CLI:
+
+```bash
+npx wrangler deploy infrastructure/cloudflare/worker.js
+```
+
+Or paste into the Workers dashboard at the URL above (Quick Edit).
+
+## Pages: Static frontend
+
+### Direct Upload via Gitea Actions
+
+Use `.gitea/workflows/pages-deploy.yml` to build in Gitea Actions and upload via the Cloudflare API.
+
+See [gitea-cloudflare-pages.md](./gitea-cloudflare-pages.md) for the workflow.
+

+# Gitea to Cloudflare Pages — Linear Void
+
+## Goal
+
+Deploy the Linear Void frontend (Vite + TypeScript SPA) from Gitea to Cloudflare Pages using Gitea Actions.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+> **Important:** The Pages project must exist before the API deploy call works. You'll get error 8000007 ("Project not found") if you skip this step.
+
+1. **Cloudflare Pages project** created first:
+   - Dashboard → Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Direct Upload
+   - Name it `linearvoid` (or a different name if `linearvoid` is already taken by a Worker — see note below)
+   - See [Cloudflare Pages Setup](./cloudflare-pages-setup.md) for full details.
+2. **Project name**: note the exact name (e.g., `linearvoid`).
+3. **API token** with Pages permissions:
+   - Create at <https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens>
+   - Permission: `Account → Cloudflare Pages → Edit`
+   - Store in Gitea → Settings → Secrets as `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`
+4. **Account ID** from Cloudflare dashboard overview → store as `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`
+
+> **Naming conflict:** If a Worker already exists with the name `linearvoid`, the Pages project must use a different name (e.g., `linearvoid-site`). Update the `projectName` in the workflow accordingly. Workers and Pages share a namespace under "Workers & Pages".
+
+## Project-specific values
+
+| Setting            | Value                                                      |
+| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Framework          | Vite + TypeScript                                          |
+| Build command      | `cd frontend && npm install && npm run build`              |
+| Output directory   | `frontend/dist`                                            |
+| Node version       | 20                                                         |
+| Multi-page entries | `index.html`, `admin/index.html`, `admin/login/index.html` |
+
+## Gitea Actions workflow
+
+Create `.gitea/workflows/pages-deploy.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+name: Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: ["main"]
+  workflow_dispatch: {}
+
+jobs:
+  deploy:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Setup Node
+        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+        with:
+          node-version: 22
+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: cd frontend && npm ci
+
+      - name: Build
+        run: cd frontend && npm run build
+
+      - name: Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
+        uses: cloudflare/pages-action@v1
+        with:
+          apiToken: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
+          accountId: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
+          projectName: linearvoid
+          directory: frontend/dist
+          gitHubToken: ${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN }}
+```
+
+If the `cloudflare/pages-action@v1` action is unavailable from Gitea, use the direct Cloudflare Pages API (multipart/form-data with manifest):
+
+Snippet to generate a manifest in format `-F manifest='{"index.html": "abc123", "style.css": "def456"}'`
+
+```bash
+# Build manifest form argument from all files in frontend/dist
+form_args="-F manifest={"
+for file in $(find frontend/dist -type f | sed 's|^frontend/dist/||'); do
+  hash=$(sha256sum "frontend/dist/$file" | awk '{print $1}')
+  form_args="$form_args\"$file\":\"$hash\","
+done
+form_args="${form_args%,}}" # remove trailing comma and close JSON
+```
+
+```yaml
+- name: Generate deployment manifest
+  run: |
+    cd frontend/dist
+    form_args="-F manifest={"
+    for file in $(find . -type f ! -name manifest.json | sed 's|^\./||'); do
+      hash=$(sha256sum "$file" | awk '{print $1}')
+      form_args="$form_args\"$file\":\"$hash\","
+    done
+    form_args="${form_args%,}}" # remove trailing comma and close JSON
+    echo "Form arguments: $form_args"
+    echo "FORM_ARGS=$form_args" >> $GITHUB_ENV
+
+- name: Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
+  env:
+    CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
+    CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
+  run: |
+    cd frontend/dist
+    form_args="$FORM_ARGS" # use form arguments generated in previous step
+    COMMIT_HASH=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
+    curl -sS -X POST \
+      "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/${CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID}/pages/projects/linearvoid/deployments" \
+      -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}" \
+      -F "commit_hash=${COMMIT_HASH}" \
+      $form_args
+```
+
+This matches the Cloudflare Pages Direct Upload API: `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`, each file as a separate form field, and a `manifest` JSON mapping filenames to SHA-256 hashes.
+
+## Secrets to add in Gitea
+
+| Secret                  | Value                                |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`  | API token with Pages:Edit permission |
+| `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` | Cloudflare account ID from dashboard |
+
+## Verify deployment
+
+1. Push to `main` or trigger manually from Gitea Actions.
+2. Check **Gitea Actions** → job logs for the deploy step.
+3. Check **Cloudflare Pages** → Deployments for the new deployment.
+4. Visit the `.pages.dev` preview URL, then promote to `linearvoid.tv` when ready.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The existing `ci.yml` already builds the frontend; the Pages deploy workflow is additive and independent.
+- Multi-page SPA (`vite.config.ts`) produces three entry points — Cloudflare Pages serves them correctly.
+- For SPA fallback routing, add a `frontend/public/_redirects` file with `/* /index.html 200` before building.
+- If deployments fail with 403, verify the API token has `Account → Cloudflare Pages → Edit` permission.
+- If you get error **8000007** ("Project not found"), the Pages project hasn't been created yet. Create it via the Cloudflare dashboard (Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Direct Upload) first, then re-run.
+- If `linearvoid` is already taken by a Worker, use a different project name like `linearvoid-site` and update the `projectName` and `PROJECT_NAME` values in the workflow.

+# Scaling and Performance Playbook
+
+Purpose: define repeatable method to measure performance, capture baseline data, and decide scaling actions.
+
+Scope: planning and execution guide for TODO items under "Scaling & Performance (planning only)".
+
+## 1) Manifest TTL Tuning Plan
+
+Goal: tune `.m3u8` TTL to about `0.5x` segment duration while keeping playback stable.
+
+Inputs:
+
+- Segment duration (`HLS_SEGMENT_DURATION`)
+- Current manifest TTL (Cloudflare cache rule)
+- Cache outcome distribution (`Cf-Cache-Status`)
+
+Procedure:
+
+1. Start from current manifest TTL (2s).
+2. Capture 24h baseline headers from repeated `playlist.m3u8` requests.
+3. Test candidate TTLs: 1s, 2s, 3s.
+4. Compare:
+   - rebuffer events from player logs
+   - origin request increase/decrease
+   - HIT ratio changes
+5. Select lowest TTL that keeps playback stable and origin load acceptable.
+
+Acceptance:
+
+- No material increase in rebuffer rate.
+- Manifest staleness not observable by users.
+
+## 2) TTFB Baseline Plan
+
+Goal: measure warm-cache TTFB from 3+ US regions with target `< 4s`.
+
+Suggested regions:
+
+- US East (Virginia)
+- US Central
+- US West (California/Oregon)
+
+Method:
+
+1. Use WebPageTest with repeat view enabled.
+2. Run at least 5 samples per region.
+3. Record median and p95 TTFB.
+4. Store results in table (date, region, median, p95, test URL).
+
+Acceptance:
+
+- Warm-cache median < 4s in all tested regions.
+- Outliers documented with likely cause.
+
+### TTFB Baseline Worksheet
+
+Use one row per region and keep the raw WebPageTest result URL with the summary so later runs can be compared against the same evidence.

+## 3) WebSocket Load-Test Plan
+
+Goal: characterize chat service behavior across 10 -> 100 -> 500 -> 1000 concurrent clients.
+
+Tooling option A (Artillery):
+
+```bash
+npx artillery run scripts/loadtest/ws-chat.yml
+```
+
+Tooling option B (custom Go harness):
+
+- open N concurrent WebSocket clients
+- send message every X seconds
+- measure round-trip latency and failures
+
+Metrics to capture:
+
+- p50/p95 message latency
+- error rate (connect, send, receive)
+- dropped connections
+- CPU/memory for `chat`, `redis`, `nginx`
+
+Acceptance:
+
+- p95 chat latency <= 1s at target concurrency tier.
+- error rate <= 1% during steady state.

+## 5) Cache Hit Ratio Tracking Plan
+
+Goal: track Cloudflare cache hit ratio and alert when below threshold.
+
+Implementation outline:
+
+1. Pull Cloudflare GraphQL analytics on schedule.
+2. Export to Prometheus-compatible metric path.
+3. Add Grafana panel with 5m/1h/24h windows.
+4. Alert when hit ratio < 90% for 15m.
+
+Reference exporter:
+
+- `scripts/cache-hit-ratio.js`
+- `scripts/cache-hit-ratio.ps1` for Windows scheduled tasks / manual runs
+- Example run: `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=... CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_TAG=... CLOUDFLARE_HOSTNAME=media.linearvoid.tv node scripts/cache-hit-ratio.js`
+- Windows example: `pwsh -File scripts/cache-hit-ratio.ps1`
+- Intended output: Prometheus text format on stdout, suitable for cron, a Node wrapper, or a small scrape endpoint.
+
+Metric target:
+
+- `cache_hit_ratio >= 0.90`

+
+Define operational triggers:
+
+- Cache miss ratio > 10% for 15m
+- Chat p95 latency > 1s for 5m
+- Host CPU > 80% for 10m
+- Redis memory usage ratio (`linearvoid_chat_redis_memory_usage_ratio`) > 0.85 for 10m
+
+Action mapping:
+
+- Level 1: investigate + restart non-critical components

+## 7) Phase 2 Service Separation Plan
+
+Objective: separate bottlenecked services while keeping simple ops.
+
+Boundaries:
+
+- `playout` isolated first (CPU-heavy)
+- `chat` + `redis` grouped for latency
+- `db` isolated for IO stability
+- monitoring stack optionally separated after sustained load
+
+Initial sizing guidance:
+
+- playout host: 4 vCPU / 8 GB
+- chat host: 2-4 vCPU / 4-8 GB
+- db host: 2 vCPU / 4 GB + fast disk
+
+Exit criteria for Phase 2:
+
+- repeated trigger events over 7 days
+- capacity saturation despite tuning

+
+Candidate layout:
+
+- Primary: Hetzner Ashburn (US-East)
+- Standby: Hetzner Hillsboro (US-West)
+
+Design:
+
+- Warm standby stack deployed and health-checked
+- Redis replication or fallback mode documented
+- Postgres replication strategy selected (streaming replica or periodic snapshot restore)
+- Cloudflare DNS failover policy defined (health-based or manual emergency switch)

+## 9) Data Capture Template
+
+For each benchmark run, capture:
+
+- Date/time
+- Environment (test-lab/staging/production)
+- Commit SHA / image tag
+- Test scenario and duration
+- Raw metrics (latency, errors, resource usage)
+- Conclusion and next action
+
+## 10) Execution Order
+
+1. TTFB baseline
+2. WebSocket load profile
+3. Admin API benchmark
+4. Cache ratio panel + alerting
+5. Trigger tuning
+6. Phase 2 boundary decision
+7. Phase 3 standby design review
+
+## 11) Benchmark Run Sheet
+
+Use the same worksheet for every baseline or re-test so results stay comparable.
+
+Preconditions:
+
+- Confirm the target environment and commit SHA/image tag.
+- Confirm Cloudflare cache rules are active when testing TTFB or manifest TTL.
+- Confirm the chat, admin, and playout services are healthy before load testing.
+
+Run template:
+
+| Item                       | Value |
+| -------------------------- | ----- |
+| Date/time                  |       |
+| Environment                |       |
+| Commit SHA / image tag     |       |
+| Test scenario              |       |
+| Concurrency / sample count |       |
+| Command or tool            |       |
+| Raw results location       |       |
+| Conclusion                 |       |
+| Next action                |       |
+
+Suggested command mapping:
+
+- TTFB baseline: WebPageTest repeat-view run against `https://linearvoid.tv`.
+- WebSocket profile: `npx artillery run scripts/loadtest/ws-chat.yml` or the Go harness referenced above.
+- Admin API benchmark: `k6 run scripts/loadtest/admin-api.js` or `wrk -t4 -c100 -d60s http://<host>/api/admin/overview`.
+
+## 12) Scaling Decision Gate
+
+Treat the following as the default review gate after any benchmark batch:
+
+1. If warm-cache TTFB meets target but cache hit ratio falls below 90%, tune cache behavior before increasing capacity.
+2. If chat or admin latency exceeds target while CPU and memory remain low, prioritize query or handler optimization.
+3. If CPU, memory, or Redis saturation appears first, treat the service boundary guidance in Phase 2 as the next action.
+4. If the same threshold trips on multiple runs across 7 days, open the Phase 2 or Phase 3 planning path instead of tuning in place.
+
+Decision note:
+
+- Keep the smallest change that restores the target metric and record the reason in the run sheet.
+
+## 13) Artifact-to-Worksheet Field Mapping
+
+Use this section when filling the WebSocket and Admin API worksheets from helper-generated artifacts.
+
+### WebSocket worksheet mapping
+
+Artifact sources:
+
+- `artifacts/<timestamp>/ws-chat-report.json`
+- `artifacts/<timestamp>/ws-chat-summary.txt`
+
+Field mapping:
+
+- Worksheet `Tool used` -> `artillery` (or `run-loadtests.ps1 -Scenario ws`)
+- Worksheet `Raw results location` -> artifact folder path for this run
+- Worksheet `Concurrency tiers reached` -> `ws-chat.yml` phases (`warmup-10`, `sustain-100`, `sustain-500`, `sustain-1000`)
+- Worksheet `Error rate` -> `vusers.failure_rate_percent` from `ws-chat-summary.txt`
+- Worksheet `Dropped connections` -> derive from `vusers.created - vusers.completed` (use `vusers.failed` as failure signal)
+- Worksheet `p95 message latency` -> first available latency line under `summary.*` in `ws-chat-summary.txt` that includes `p95=...`
+- Worksheet `p50 message latency` -> first available latency line under `summary.*` in `ws-chat-summary.txt` that includes `median=...`
+
+Notes:
+
+- The exact `summary.*` metric names in Artillery output can vary by engine/plugins.
+- If no latency summary field is emitted, record this explicitly and use server-side latency metrics as fallback evidence.
+
+### Admin API worksheet mapping
+
+Artifact sources:
+
+- `artifacts/<timestamp>/admin-api-summary.json`
+- `artifacts/<timestamp>/admin-api-output.txt`
+- `artifacts/<timestamp>/admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt`
+
+Field mapping:
+
+- Worksheet `Tool used` -> `k6` (or `run-loadtests.ps1 -Scenario admin`)
+- Worksheet `Raw results location` -> artifact folder path for this run
+- Worksheet `/api/admin/overview` p95 -> `overview` row `P95Ms` in `admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt`
+- Worksheet `/api/admin/analytics` p95 -> `analytics` row `P95Ms` in `admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt`
+- Worksheet `/api/admin/chat-log` p95 -> `chat_log` row `P95Ms` in `admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt`
+- Worksheet `/api/admin/users` p95 -> `users` row `P95Ms` in `admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt`
+- Worksheet `Error rate` -> `Global failure rate` in `admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt`
+- Worksheet `Slowest endpoint` -> endpoint row with highest `P95Ms`
+
+Notes:
+
+- Keep the raw `admin-api-summary.json` file for audits and re-parsing.
+- If an endpoint row is missing, treat as test/data issue and re-run with full endpoint coverage.
