Clean sessions lose subscriptions on reconnect and a refused first connect
loses the retained discovery, so both now happen on every successful connect.
Adds reason codes 132-136 and behavioural tests.

config.json is re-rendered every deploy, so credentials go in
/etc/van-router-mqtt/credentials.json (seeded empty if absent, never
overwritten). The service logs MQTT connect/refuse/disconnect state changes,
and --post-check warns when the broker refuses the service.

Live R5C run: after the Armbian catch-all .network was removed, networkd kept its
in-memory claim on the uplink port (two addresses, extra proto dhcp default route)
until `networkctl reload`. The helper now reloads networkd after the forward apply
and after the rollback re-apply (not fatal, not gating; logs the port state and a
"networkd still manages" note on the forward path), the AN_* time budget includes
it, and --post-check warns when the netplan matches but networkd still lists the
uplink port configured/configuring.

- ap/50-van-wan.yaml: revert the comment to "see STARLINK_IFACE in deploy.conf" so the
rendered file is byte-identical to the Pi 5's installed netplan (it otherwise reports
"differs" forever); note in deploy.sh next to render_wan_netplan.
- check 14: baseline 3d117e7, keep byte-identity for wan.conf, assert no /etc/vanlink.conf;
the failure branch no longer aborts the suite under pipefail.
- helper restore(): restart van-br0-setup (unit present, timeout 30, non-fatal) after the
re-apply, before the connectivity re-check; asserted in the rollback sandbox scenario.

I-1 helper logs diagnostics (nmcli, DHCP routers, networkctl -n 0, ip addr, ip route; each
under timeout 5) before a stage 1/2 restore, and the port's networkctl list line on success
(information only, never gating).
I-2 ap/nm-uplink-pending.conf -> /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/zz-van-wan-pending.conf keeps NM
off STARLINK_IFACE while the WAN netplan is missing; installed before network-manager,
removed once the netplan matches, left as is when it differs (port already handed to NM).
apply_network backs it up as nm-pending.conf; the helper removes it + reloads NM conf right
before netplan generate/apply, restore() puts it back and reloads after the re-apply.
--wan-plan prints "uplink NM pending conf: ...".
I-3 nm_wan_state_netplan: "unreadable" (0600 file, non-root); --wan-plan and post-check say so
without warning.
I-4 apply_preflight_problems (+ hidden --apply-preflight, VANLINK_HOSTNAME test knob ignored as
root): port absent / conf of another host -> refused without --force. Stage 2 also needs
van-failover's own "proto static" default route on the port.
M-1 helper restarts van-br0-setup (if the unit exists) after the forward netplan apply.
M-3 nm_pkg_installed (dpkg-query Status) in deploy, --wan-plan and --apply-network.
M-5 header documents VANLINK_CONF; stale test comment fixed.
M-6 cellular_profile_exists ignores VANLINK_NM_DIR as root.
M-7 tests: NM-off files installed before network-manager; read-only sub-commands never apt-get.
M-8 an existing, differing WAN netplan is shown (redact_secrets now masks YAML password:) and
refused without --force.

Li3, NVMe watchdog, Home Assistant/ESPHome, Frigate and Cockpit are
installed, enabled and restarted only when their ENABLE_* flag is 1.
--diff shows what would change in /etc. A unit that fails to restart is
recorded as a warning instead of aborting the deploy.

nftables.conf hardcoded the R5C network, van-br0-setup.service the R5C
interfaces and several configs wlan0/eth0. All now come from the host
config; the onboard LAN port is skipped when ONBOARD_LAN_IFACE is empty.

SKIP_COCKPIT only existed in the deleted deploy.conf; under set -u the
cockpit block would abort with an unbound variable.

deploy.conf is replaced by one versioned file per host plus an example.
deploy.sh validates the config, renders every template with a generic
token loop, refuses to install output with leftover @TOKENs and gains
--check/--templates. LAN_USB_IFACE is renamed LAN_IFACE.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
van-ap-dnsmasq.conf and 21-van-br0.network carry @TOKEN@ placeholders but
were installed unrendered. Armbian's netplan-generated 10-netplan-* file
matched the LAN port before 22-van-lan.network, so it was never bridged.

Moves host-specific configuration out of the repo so the Pi 5 and R5C
can share one git checkout, with feature flags and template checks.

The eMMC is now the boot/root device and the SD card is a manual
failsafe. U-Boot has no persistent env and always prefers an SD with a
boot.scr, so the SD's boot script is kept dormant as
boot-failesafe-rename-to:boot.scr.
- Locate the SD by root UUID instead of /dev/mmcblk0p2
- Preserve the SD's dormant boot script; never create a live boot.scr
and refresh the dormant copy from the eMMC
- Copy fstab and armbianEnv.txt with the root UUID rewritten to the SD's
- Add rsync -x; drop the Pi-specific /boot/firmware exclude

SD card filesystem corrupted: ext4 journal version incompatible with
standard e2fsck (1.47.2 from Linux host). Filesystem inaccessible.
Root cause: Podman homeassistant container startup during network
instability and system reconfiguration caused unclean shutdown and
filesystem corruption.
Recovery: Flash fresh Armbian 6.18, run deploy.sh with fixes:
- DNS resolution fix added to HOMEASSISTANT.md
- resolv.conf fix should be added to deploy.sh post-processing
- Deploy containers after network is stable
All scripts and configs are ready and committed. Only need fresh SD card.

Root cause: /etc/resolv.conf was a broken symlink to systemd-resolved's
stub resolver, which doesn't exist after disabling the service.
Fixed by creating proper /etc/resolv.conf pointing to dnsmasq on 10.42.1.1
and upstream resolvers (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8).
This fix allows apt-get to work again and enables podman installation.
**Result: ✅ podman installed, homeassistant container starting**
Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Added HOMEASSISTANT.md with migration steps and configuration details.
Home Assistant config copied to R5C at /srv/homeassistant.
**BLOCKED**: podman installation fails on R5C due to extreme network latency
(1000+ ms Starlink connection) and DNS resolution failures. Package downloads
fail consistently.
Migration can proceed once R5C network is stable enough for apt-get to complete.

Added podman to REQUIRED_PACKAGES for running homeassistant and esphome
containers on R5C.
Created docker/start-containers.sh script to start both containers with
persistent /srv volumes for configuration.
Ready for migration of homeassistant + esphome from 10.42.0 to 10.42.1.
Configs can be copied from old vanrouter at /srv/homeassistant and
/srv/esphome, then containers started on R5C.
Ports:
- Home Assistant: 8123 (accessed via --network=host)
- ESPHome: 6052

systemd-resolved listening on port 53 (even localhost-only) blocks
dnsmasq from binding to port 53 globally, causing DHCP to fail on reboot.
Created drop-in systemd-resolved-disable.conf to prevent the service from
listening on DNS. dnsmasq becomes the sole DNS+DHCP server on bridge br0.
Critical fix: without this, clients don't receive DHCP after reboot.
Verified: 5+ active DHCP leases, clients receiving 10.42.1.x addresses.

Moved all packages from OPTIONAL_PACKAGES to REQUIRED_PACKAGES:
- rsync, mosquitto, python3-paho-mqtt
- mobile-broadband-provider-info, zerotier-one
- gpsd, gpsd-clients
Deploy will now fail if any package is missing, ensuring all
van-* services have their dependencies available.

Fixed two issues in nftables.conf:
1. Unsubstituted placeholder @GATEWAY_NETWORK@ - hardcoded to 10.42.1.0/24
2. Missing semicolon on masquerade rule
NAT now working - clients can access internet through R5C gateway.
Masquerade rule: traffic from 10.42.1.0/24 not destined for br0 is NATed
to the outgoing interface (Starlink/Ethernet uplink).
Verified:
- R5C gateway: 10.42.1.1/24
- Dual-band WiFi: 5GHz (ch 149) + 2.4GHz (ch 6)
- DHCP: 3+ active leases
- Internet: R5C can ping 1.1.1.1, clients ready for internet access

Fixed hostapd-2g.conf to properly specify interface wlx3c3332002066 (D-Link)
for 2.4GHz AP. Both APs now operational:
- 5GHz: wlp1s0 (MT7925E), channel 149, 802.11ac/ax
- 2.4GHz: wlx3c3332002066 (D-Link), channel 6, 802.11n
Both bridged to br0 (10.42.1.0/24), served by dnsmasq DHCP.
D-Link interface usb-modeswitch now working properly (no CDROM mode).
DHCP clients can connect to either band and receive addresses in
the 10.42.1.10-254 range with gateway 10.42.1.1.

Fixed three critical issues preventing DHCP from working:
1. Config file rendering: Placeholders (@GATEWAY_IP@, etc.) weren't being
substituted. Using direct heredoc writes instead of sed for reliability.
2. Service dependency blocking: van-br0-setup was blocked waiting for
hostapd.service to start, preventing bridge members from being added.
Changed to only depend on systemd-networkd so boot completes.
3. Port 53 conflict: systemd-resolved was listening on port 53, blocking
dnsmasq from binding. Disabled DNS in systemd-resolved config.
R5C now operational:
- 5GHz AP on channel 149
- Bridge: 10.42.1.1/24 with enP2p33s0 + wlp1s0
- DHCP: 10.42.1.10-254 (4+ active leases)
- van-ap-dnsmasq service: running and serving DHCP
- hostapd-2g: disabled (interface wlx3c3332002066 not available)
Disabled hostapd-2g.service until D-Link RTL8188GU is fixed (stuck in CDROM mode).
