Mac Mini M4

The always-on box: herdr server, four Codex seats, Bifrost, sleep prevented. Reachable right now over Tailscale (ssh answered at 20:43); the Cloudflare WARP private route is present but does not carry ping or ssh today. Every fact below carries the probe that produced it.

Cloudflare WARP private routeroute present · no replybin/mini-probe: "MINI unreachable: ping=fail warp_route=ok ssh=fail". Same verdict as estate/MINI-STATUS.md on 5 Sep. Pilot note: cloudflared runs on the Mini as a token-managed system daemon; the Mini's current interface address differs from the historical destination; origin certificate absent on both machines so advertised routes could not be inspected.

Make WARP carry traffic again (the Mini's interface address moved; cloudflared runs) and keep it alive across sleep; until then every doc that says "WARP is primary" describes intent, not today.ESTATE.md row "Private inter-node link"; pilot warpFollowup; two probes 5 and 6 Sep

Read a memory figure (vm_stat) and a rate_limits event in the same probe so "budget left" stops being unmeasured.the U22 question "What is the budget left?" has no receipt today

Limits

No IP address, tunnel address or hostname appears on this page; routes are named by their ssh/herdr aliases only.
The Mini's free memory was last read at 00:05 (6 GB); the 20:43 probe did not run vm_stat.
Oracle VPS and Client VPS #2 were not probed; ESTATE.md marks the second UNVERIFIED.
