Gemini CLI GuruRMM Wolkin Tailscale macOS fix

In This Episode

Stood up the Mac as a second Gemini CLI fleet host for the AGY skill, fixed a macOS base64 bug in the GuruRMM onboarding diagnostic, ran a full security/health baseline on Wolkin’s FRONT PC (graded AMBER — 5 warnings), dispatched a reboot to clear a pending-update flag, and wrote up a Tailscale mesh-VPN plan for remote laptop-to-office printing.

Gemini CLI joins the fleet

Installed @google/gemini-cli v0.45.1 via Homebrew npm, added a gemini block to identity.json with full AGY capabilities, and flagged the Mac as a fleet host. One step left: run gemini once to finish Google OAuth.

Two sync cycles

Pulled 15 then 17 commits — new AGY + Mailprotector skills, sync-lock.sh per-machine locking, human-flow scanner v2, Cascades Tucson GPO scripts, and a new IX server wiki article.

Wolkin FRONT diagnostic AMBER

First onboarding baseline for FRONT (Win 11 Home 25H2, ASUS P500MV). 0 critical, 5 warning, 14 info. Probe chunked into 4×24KB uploads, ran as SYSTEM, exit 0. Immutable JSON + Markdown baselines written.

Remote printing — Tailscale plan

Office is on Verizon residential (CGNAT, dynamic IP), so traditional VPN and port-forwarding are out. Picked Tailscale mesh VPN (WireGuard, free ≤100 devices) over GuruConnect, ScreenConnect redirect, cloud print, and DIY VPN. Deployment plan documented.
