Add restore-at-risk-work.ps1 and wire it into bootstrap Phase 6. Recreates local-only WIP rescued to the recovery bundle's at-risk-work/: re-applies the three guru-rmm stash patches back AS stashes (LIFO order preserved) and drops the guru-connect tmp-spec018.diff back as its untracked working file. Patches that won't apply cleanly are reported for manual git apply --3way. Updates RESTORE.md and the session log with the rescue details.

Session Log: Windows Bootstrap & Recovery Toolkit (GURU-5070)
Date: 2026-06-06 Mode: infra Topic: Build a full backup + bootstrap to rebuild this workstation after a clean Windows reset.
User
- User: Mike Swanson (mike)
- Machine: GURU-5070
- Role: admin
Context
The machine became unstable ("super broken all of the sudden") and a full OS reset is
planned. Goal: preserve everything that won't return from a git clone (identity +
secrets + select large data), and produce a clean, less-bloated reinstall path.
What was done
1. Inventory
Full read-only sweep of the environment:
- Tools/versions/paths (node 24, py 3.14, git 2.53, cargo 1.96, ollama 0.30.6, claude 2.1.x,
gemini 0.45, grok 0.2.x, jq, sops 3.7, age 1.3, op 2.33, VS Code 1.113).
ghwas missing. - Out-of-repo secrets: SOPS age key (
%APPDATA%\sops\age\keys.txt), SSH keys, Claude/grok/gemini auth. - Gitignored repo data, scheduled tasks, MCP config, ollama models, env vars, hosts file.
- Drives: E: FAT32 removable 14.6 GB · F: Ventoy exFAT 57.7 GB (26.8 GB free).
2. Backup (two-drive)
- E: redundant copy of the crown jewels (secrets + identity + config + manifests + bootstrap), ~10 MB.
- F: full bundle +
data\9.11 GB of large non-Gitea client/project data. - Bundle layout:
secrets\(age key, ssh, claude/grok/gemini auth, git config, PS profile, user-global~/.claudecommands+plugins),identity\(identity.json, settings.local.json, current-mode, .mcp.json, .claude/state, ticktick tokens, dataforth oauth),config\(Windows Terminal, hosts, quote-wizard .env.production),manifests\(tools, ollama models, scheduled-task XML, user-environment.reg). - Age key hash-verified identical across source/E:/F: (pubkey
age1qz7ct84...).
3. Bootstrap toolkit (committed to .claude/bootstrap/)
windows-bootstrap.ps1— 11-phase idempotent rebuild (winget core tools → AI CLIs → restore secrets → clone repos+submodules → restore identity → python/.NET deps → ollama models → scheduled tasks → optional data → verify).restore-secrets.ps1— restores home secrets + repo-local identity.backup-to-bundle.ps1— repeatable backup (re-run anytime to refresh the drives).RESTORE.md— human runbook.
Key findings folded into the bootstrap
- 47.8 GB of Ollama models live on
D:\OllamaModels(OLLAMA_MODELS env). If the reset only wipes C:, models + repos survive — bootstrap auto-detects and skips re-download. - Added missing tooling: .NET 8 SDK + WiX 5 (MSI builds), Protobuf/protoc (gururmm prost builds, PROTOC env), Poppler (dataforth PDF pipeline), Tailscale (fleet mesh), gh.
- Env vars restored:
OLLAMA_MODELS=D:\OllamaModels,OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434,PROTOC(resolved live). - Ollama model set trimmed to the proper two for a 12 GB-VRAM laptop:
nomic-embed-text(GrepAI) +qwen3:8b(prose_model). Heavyqwen3.6:latest/codestral:22b/qwen3:14bare opt-in. - Radio-show MP3s excluded from backup (they live on IX Web Hosting).
Notes / gotchas
D:\work\gururmmremote URL embeds the shared Gitea password in plaintext — rebuild uses Windows Credential Manager instead (flagged in RESTORE.md and machines/guru-5070.md).- Reset scope (C: only vs whole disk) is unknown → backup assumes worst case, safe either way.
- Created
machines/guru-5070.md(the only prior profile,acg-guru-5070.md, documents the old CachyOS install on the same Lenovo Legion Pro 7 hardware).
State at end of session
- E: and F: recovery bundles complete and verified.
- Bootstrap toolkit committed to repo (3rd copy, fleet-reusable).
- Part 2 (the actual reset + rebuild) pending — driven by
F:\claudetools-recovery\bootstrap\windows-bootstrap.ps1.
At-risk WIP rescued (addendum)
Checked the GuruRMM/GuruConnect repos for local-only work a reset would destroy.
All committed code was already pushed (every submodule HEAD is on origin), but found
uncommitted WIP and preserved it to at-risk-work\ on both E: and F:
- guru-rmm (3 stashes, exported as patches):
stash@{0}+119 linesdocs/FEATURE_ROADMAP.md;stash@{1}CONTEXT.md;stash@{2}agent/Dockerfile+docs/unraid-ca-template.xml. - guru-connect: untracked
tmp-spec018.diff(54 KB;agent/src/install.rs+ more). D:\work\gururmm: only a local deletion of a legacy file still on remote — no loss.
Original stashes left intact (not dropped). Added restore-at-risk-work.ps1 and wired it
into bootstrap Phase 6: on rebuild it re-applies the guru-rmm patches back as stashes
(LIFO order preserved) and drops the guru-connect diff back as its untracked file. Patches
that won't apply cleanly are reported and left for manual git apply --3way.
Follow-ups
- When ready to reset: run the bootstrap from the drive; verify vault decrypts via
vault.sh get-field projects/claudetools/database.sops.yaml credentials.password. - Re-auth interactive logins if tokens expired (claude /login, gh, op, gemini, grok).
