chore: add docs/ to .gitignore and untrack personal files
docs/ contains session history, personal workflows, and private protocols that shouldn't be in a public repository.

-* About This File
-
-This file contains archived session history entries older than 2 weeks from the current date. Sessions are automatically moved here during the wrap-up workflow to keep notes.org at a manageable size.
-
-Sessions are listed in reverse chronological order (most recent first).

-
-*Status:* COMPLETE
-
-*What We Completed:*
-- Diagnosed and fixed ratio (Framework Desktop, AMD Strix Halo) boot failures
-- Root cause: missing linux-firmware 20260110 caused amdgpu to freeze at boot
-- Installed linux-firmware 20260110-1, fixed ZFS mountpoints, fixed hostid mismatch
-- Configured kernel 6.15.2 as default (pinned), created clean GRUB menu
-- Created retrospective workflow for continuous improvement
-- Added PRINCIPLES.org with behavioral lessons learned
-- Documented full troubleshooting session
-
-*Key Decisions:*
-- linux-firmware version is critical for AMD Strix Halo (20260110+ required)
-- ZFS rollback with separate /boot partition is dangerous - recommend ZFSBootMenu
-- Established retrospective workflow for major problem-solving sessions
-- Behavioral lessons go in PRINCIPLES.org, technical facts in session docs
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- [[file:../custom/archangel][custom/install-archzfs]] - Fixed mkinitcpio configuration
-- [[file:../todo.org][todo.org]] - Added ZFS rollback + /boot issue, ZFSBootMenu task
-- [[file:PRINCIPLES.org][docs/PRINCIPLES.org]] - New file with behavioral lessons
-- [[file:protocols.org][docs/protocols.org]] - Added PRINCIPLES.org to session startup
-- [[file:retrospectives/2026-01-22-ratio-boot-fix.org][docs/retrospectives/]] - Retrospective for this session
-- [[file:2026-01-22-ratio-boot-fix-session.org][docs/2026-01-22-ratio-boot-fix-session.org]] - Full technical session doc
-
-*Commits Made:*
-- c46191c: Fix ratio boot issues: firmware, mkinitcpio, and document ZFS rollback dangers
-- 9100517: Update ratio session doc: kernel 6.15.2 now default with clean GRUB menu
-- e5aedfa: Add retrospective workflow and PRINCIPLES.org for continuous improvement
-
-*Next Steps:*
-- Implement ZFSBootMenu on ratio to solve /boot rollback issue
-- Consider adding ZFSBootMenu to install-archzfs as alternative to GRUB
-

-
-*Status:* COMPLETE
-
-*What We Completed:*
-- Completed RESCUE-GUIDE.txt with all 8 sections fully documented
-- Added final round of utility packages to ISO:
- - Disk tools: ncdu, tree
- - Hardware diagnostics: iotop
- - Network: speedtest-cli, mosh, aria2, tmate, sshuttle
- - Security: pass (password manager)
-- Removed AUR-only packages that broke build: safecopy, ms-sys, dislocker, nwipe
-- Successfully rebuilt ISO (5.1GB)
-- Copied ISO to truenas.local:/mnt/vault/isos and ~/downloads/isos
-- Wrote ISO to USB drives (/dev/sda 1TB, /dev/sdb 240GB)
-- Ran all tests:
- - zfs-snap-prune unit tests: 22/22 PASSED
- - VM install test (single-disk): PASSED
- - VM install test (mirror): PASSED
- - VM install test (raidz1): PASSED
-- Marked "Add common recovery tools" TODO as DONE
-
-*Commits Made:*
-- 36aa130: Add utility tools and rescue guide documentation
-- 6f4fd68: Remove AUR-only packages from ISO build
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- [[file:../build.sh][build.sh]] - Added utility packages, removed AUR-only packages
-- [[file:../custom/RESCUE-GUIDE.txt][custom/RESCUE-GUIDE.txt]] - Completed all 8 sections
-- [[file:../TODO.org][TODO.org]] - Marked recovery tools task as DONE
-- [[file:session-context.org][docs/session-context.org]] - Updated session state
-
-*Key Technical Notes:*
-- AUR packages cannot be included in mkarchiso builds without custom AUR handling
-- Documented AUR tools (safecopy, ms-sys, dislocker, nwipe) in RESCUE-GUIDE with install instructions
-- ISO now doubles as a comprehensive rescue/recovery disk
-
-*Next Steps:*
-- Test booting from physical USB drive on real hardware
-- Consider CI/CD pipeline for automated ISO builds
-- Consider adding ISO to GRUB boot menu for on-disk recovery

-*Status:* IN PROGRESS
-
-*What We Completed:*
-- Fixed ZFS kernel module mismatch by switching to linux-lts + zfs-dkms
-- Fixed bootloader to use linux-lts kernel (was defaulting to regular linux)
-- Fixed broadcom-wl dependency (switched to broadcom-wl-dkms)
-- Updated mkinitcpio preset for linux-lts with archiso config
-- Fixed install-archzfs bugs:
- - =[[ ]] && error= pattern causing early exit with =set -e= (changed to if/then)
- - 50G reservation on 50G disk (now dynamic: 20% of pool, capped 5-20G)
- - sanoid not in official repos (moved to archsetup)
- - grub-mkfont needs freetype2 package (added to pacstrap)
-- Removed sanoid/syncoid from install-archzfs (archsetup will handle)
-- Created inbox item for archsetup with full sanoid/syncoid config
-- ISO now 4.8G (was 5.4G) - only linux-lts kernel
-
-*Key Technical Insights:*
-- =broadcom-wl= depends on =linux= kernel specifically - use =broadcom-wl-dkms= instead
-- archiso releng profile has linux.preset in airootfs that needs renaming to linux-lts.preset
-- With =set -e=, =[[ test ]] && command= returns exit code 1 if test is false, causing script exit
-- =grub-mkfont= requires =freetype2= package (not installed by default with grub)
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- [[file:../build.sh][build.sh]] - major updates for linux-lts, bootloader configs, mkinitcpio preset
-- [[file:../custom/archangel][custom/install-archzfs]] - multiple bug fixes, removed sanoid/syncoid
-- [[file:~/code/archsetup/inbox/zfs-sanoid-detection.txt][archsetup inbox]] - sanoid/syncoid config for archsetup to implement
-
-*Current State:*
-- ISO builds successfully with linux-lts + zfs-dkms
-- ZFS module loads correctly in live environment
-- install-archzfs runs through most steps
-- Last error: grub-mkfont missing freetype2 (now fixed, needs rebuild/test)
-
-*Next Steps:*
-- Rebuild ISO with freetype2 fix
-- Complete full install-archzfs test in VM
-- Test booting the installed system
-- Git commit all changes

-
-*Status:* COMPLETE (continued above)
-
-*What We Completed:*
-- Initialized git repository
-- Created .gitignore (excludes work/, out/, profile/, zfs-packages/)
-- Initial commit with all build scripts
-- Added docs/ to git (decided to track publicly)
-- Built fresh ISO (archzfs-claude-2026.01.17-x86_64.iso, 4.9G)
-- Tested ISO in QEMU VM
-- Documented project goals and design decisions in notes.org
-
-*Key Decisions Made:*
-- Use linux-lts + zfs-dkms from archzfs.com (DKMS ensures kernel compatibility)
-- Less aggressive snapshot policy (TrueNAS handles long-term backups)
-- All install questions upfront, then unattended installation
-- Root account only (archsetup creates user post-reboot)
-- 32px GRUB font for HiDPI displays
-- WiFi config tested before install starts
-
-*Files Modified:*
-- [[file:../.gitignore][.gitignore]] - created
-- [[file:../build.sh][build.sh]] - major rewrite
-- [[file:../custom/install-archzfs][custom/install-archzfs]] - complete rewrite
-- [[file:../scripts/test-vm.sh][scripts/test-vm.sh]] - added serial console
