* Add session notes for ratio boot fix and retrospective workflowCraig Jennings2026-01-221-0/+36
| | | | | Documented boot fix session including firmware requirement, GRUB configuration, and behavioral principles for future sessions.
* Add retrospective workflow and PRINCIPLES.org for continuous improvementCraig Jennings2026-01-223-14/+140
| | | | | | | | | - docs/PRINCIPLES.org: Behavioral lessons from retrospectives - docs/retrospectives/: Directory for retrospective records - docs/protocols.org: Add PRINCIPLES.org to session startup reading list Establishes pattern for learning from problem-solving sessions and capturing behavioral (not just technical) lessons.
* Update ratio session doc: kernel 6.15.2 now default with clean GRUB menuCraig Jennings2026-01-221-0/+66
| | | | | | | - Created custom GRUB entries for cleaner boot menu - Set kernel 6.15.2 as default, LTS as fallback - Pinned linux package in pacman.conf - Documented UUID gotcha with mirrored NVMe boot partitions
* Fix ratio boot issues: firmware, mkinitcpio, and document ZFS rollback dangersCraig Jennings2026-01-222-0/+334
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Root cause: Missing/outdated linux-firmware broke AMD Strix Halo GPU init. Fixed by installing linux-firmware 20260110-1. Changes: - install-archzfs: Fix mkinitcpio config (remove archiso.conf, fix preset) - todo.org: Add ZFS rollback + /boot mismatch issue, recommend ZFSBootMenu - docs/2026-01-22-ratio-boot-fix-session.org: Full troubleshooting session - docs/2026-01-22-mkinitcpio-config-boot-failure.org: Bug report - assets/: Supporting documentation and video transcript Key learnings: - AMD Strix Halo requires linux-firmware 20260110+ - ZFS rollback with /boot on EFI partition can break boot - zpool import -R can permanently change mountpoints
* Fix ZFS boot failure: set cachefile property after pool creationCraig Jennings2026-01-201-37/+47
| | | | | | | - Add zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache after pool creation - Without this, initramfs ZFS hook can't import pool at boot - Causes "cannot import '(null)': no such pool available" error - Add cachefile property test to full-test.sh
* Update session contextCraig Jennings2026-01-201-58/+30

* Fix hostid mismatch bug that prevented booting installed systemsCraig Jennings2026-01-191-24/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Root cause: The `hostid` command returns a value even without /etc/hostid, but `zgenhostid` generates a DIFFERENT random value. The install script was calling `hostid` for the GRUB kernel parameter, then later calling `zgenhostid` to create /etc/hostid - resulting in a mismatch. ZFS refuses to auto-import pools when spl.spl_hostid doesn't match /etc/hostid, causing "Failed to mount /sysroot" at boot. Fix: Generate hostid with zgenhostid FIRST (in configure_bootloader), then read the consistent value for the GRUB kernel parameter. The configure_zfs_services function now just copies the already-existing /etc/hostid to the installed system. Verified in VM: GRUB and /etc/hostid both show identical values after installation.
* Add TODO for Avahi on installed systems, mark live ISO Avahi as doneCraig Jennings2026-01-191-96/+24
| | | | | | - Live ISO Avahi implemented in 906cc6f (archzfs.local works) - Added TODO to implement Avahi on installed systems - Update session context

| | | | | | | - Add avahi and nss-mdns packages to live ISO - Enable avahi-daemon.service for mDNS discovery - Set hostname to "archzfs" so machines are accessible at archzfs.local - Fix ISP firmware path in install-archzfs: remove /mnt prefix for chroot
