Session resume after update-reboot — context recovery + Safesite mis-dispatch correction

Session Summary

Short orientation session to recover context after Howard-Home rebooted from a Windows update. Howard asked to "pick up where we left off." Initial context load mis-identified the live thread: the most recent log surfaced was Mike's 2026-06-09-mike-dataforth-freepbx-safesite-forensics.md (GURU-5070), and the coord API carried a fleet auto-followup todo (5766a59f) for the Safesite recalled-PDF forensic sweep. I treated that as the resume target and re-dispatched the interrupted forensic sweep to one of the two remaining Safesite machines.

Howard corrected: he never worked Safesite — that was Mike's thread. Re-ran recovery scoped to Howard's own work: the two HOWARD-HOME syncs on 2026-06-09 (10:33 + 17:08) corresponded to two Cascades-of-Tucson client logs that lived under clients/cascades-tucson/session-logs/2026-06/ (not the root session-logs/ glob I first searched), so the 06-09 work was saved. The latest, 2026-06-09-howard-cascades-accounting-scan-folder.md (17:08, immediately pre-reboot), is the real "where we left off."

That Cascades scan-to-folder build is essentially complete (svc-scan account vaulted, \\CS-SERVER\AcctDept share locked to Lauren/Chris/Zachary, Brother MFC-L8900CDW profile configured, test scan succeeded, drive maps pushed). Surfaced its three open items to Howard; the clear resume candidate is the ASSISTNURSE-PC 1.0h onsite billing on Syncro #32303, paused at preview awaiting Howard's go. Awaiting Howard's direction at session end.

Key Decisions

• Left the queued Safesite sweep in place rather than cancelling it. The re-dispatch (cmd 7e835f51) is a legitimate fleet auto-followup for Mike's thread and is harmless queued — it helps complete todo 5766a59f whenever DESKTOP-3USU20B reconnects. No reason to cancel.
• Scoped recovery to Howard-authored artifacts (HOWARD-HOME sync commits + *howard* logs) after the first pass conflated a fleet todo with Howard's personal thread.

Problems Encountered

• Mis-identified the resume thread. "Where we left off" was read against the newest fleet log + coord todo (both Mike/Safesite) instead of Howard's own recent work. Root cause: the initial ls session-logs/**/*.md recursive glob did not surface the client-scoped logs under clients/cascades-tucson/session-logs/2026-06/, so the latest visible logs were all Mike's. Resolved by recovering via git log --author=Howard + the HOWARD-HOME sync commit file lists, which pointed at the Cascades client-folder logs. Saved as feedback memory for future resumes.
• GuruRMM vault path guess wrong. First attempt to read an RMM token from msp-tools/gururmm-api failed; the correct path is infrastructure/gururmm-server.sops.yaml via the /rmm skill's rmm-auth.sh. Used the skill bootstrap instead of hand-rolling auth.

Configuration Changes

• None to code/config. One GuruRMM command dispatched (see below). This session log created.

Credentials & Secrets

• None created or discovered this session. (Cascades svc-scan creds remain vaulted at clients/cascades-tucson/svc-scan.sops.yaml from the 06-09 session.)

Infrastructure & Servers

• DESKTOP-3USU20B (Safesite, lennyg): GuruRMM agent f9a86061-a4a4-42ee-8c82-7848f95693a4, now enrolled, WS-disconnected (last_seen 2026-06-10T16:22:26Z, status offline). Queued sweep cmd 7e835f51-71c0-4b52-8fec-4fd4b3db7619 (timeout 1800) pending its next reconnect.
• DESKTOP-LOPKB4G (Safesite, jeremiahw): still NOT enrolled in GuruRMM (absent from /api/agents) — blocker for the second Safesite machine; needs Datto/Intune or agent install.
• CS-SERVER (Cascades): 192.168.2.254, RMM agent c39f1de7-d5b6-45ae-b132-e06977ab1713. Share \\CS-SERVER\AcctDept → D:\Shares\Accounting (from 06-09 work).

Commands & Outputs

• RMM history for DESKTOP-3USU20B showed prior sweep 1cf8dfea = interrupted (agent restarted mid-run — same update-reboot wave), earlier two = failed (timeouts) → no results yet, so re-dispatched the identical sweep script with timeout_seconds=1800. Returned pending (agent offline/queued). Bot alert posted to #dev-alerts.

Pending / Incomplete Tasks

• Howard's real resume thread — Cascades, from 2026-06-09-howard-cascades-accounting-scan-folder.md:
  1. ASSISTNURSE-PC 1.0h onsite billing on Syncro #32303 — paused at preview, awaiting Howard's go (primary).
  2. (optional) Normalize the three accounting drive maps to one consistent letter (Lauren X:, Chris Y:, Zachary Y:).
  3. (optional) Lock down legacy Main\Company Web Docs\Accounting Everyone:Full folder — HIPAA cleanup.
• Fleet (not Howard's): Safesite todo 5766a59f still open — DESKTOP-3USU20B sweep queued (7e835f51); DESKTOP-LOPKB4G unenrolled. Any free session completes both, then posts to Jonathan on #32395 and marks the todo done.
