Overview (problems in the room with the hold action, the live deck, one line per computer),
Keys (both pages, what each key will say and what holding does), Computers (map with the keys
that turn red, cards with a light per thing that runs there from the watchdog's snapshot and a
read-only probe, Gear, Setup), Logs, History (the installer's copies for now), Help (four cards,
the generated key guide, cheat sheet and Where things are, glossary, Companion facts), Site setup
and Fixes read-only. The editing code is checked (with a lockout) but nothing can change yet.
Also: faults are attributed to the computers their check is about; the installer refuses while a
HyperDeck is recording (--now overrides); the Lighting PC's MIDI session is listed; the probes read
sudo's answer correctly and expand $HOME outside the quotes.

- settings/server.py: read-only routes (overview, keys, computers, gear, companion, logs, history,
help facts, key guide / cheat sheet / where things are), the editing-code check with a lockout,
LAN-only binding with a per-minute rebind
- settings/probes.py: fixed read-only probes per computer; whole lists fetched and matched locally
- settings/keyguide.py: the generated teaching pages
- settings/ui: the page, every screen read-only
- status_panel.py: snapshot.json every 5 s for the page; the Companion database lookup prefers the
running build's folder and skips a database that will not open (a stale v5.1 folder was breaking it)
- config.json: every computer's record (what runs there, network ports, done-by-hand ticks), the
editing code (kept in the repo, the user's choice), an empty gear list
- install.sh: the settings page as a second LaunchAgent; settings/ and schema.py deployed
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- schema.py: every setting with type, default, help, owner screen and the rules a config must
pass; tests/test_schema.py keeps it in step with the code (every key the code reads is declared,
every default matches, check types and fix kinds agree, the glossary covers every word a key can
show, today's config still builds today's pages apart from the key notes)
- status_panel.py: VERSION + started.json; SIGTERM lets a running fix finish and starts nothing new
(RESTARTING SOON); fixes-running.json and live-now.json for the settings page; state.json keeps
the ALARMS override, acknowledgements, auto-fix tries and fix times across restarts, keyed by
what a check is about rather than its position; 'test' and 'resurvey' commands; queued commands
dropped at start; overnight windows; a HyperDeck switched off is always switched back on;
the spotify fix kind (playlist set once, in config 'spotify'); Windows remote checks batched for
cmd.exe with conditional echoes; every fix's kind and host validated; never_auto; wording and
numbers from config (site block, timing, page_hold_ms, auto-fix keep_months); hyperdeck_probe
removed; --check and --exit-timeout
- make_page.py: numbers from config, markers on every key, nav templates per Companion version,
--out; push_page.py: a page is overwritten only when every key carries a marker (foreign keys
named by position), secret-free fetch, host from the site; nav_keys.py: host from the site;
netgear.py: switches and the shared-port limit from config
- install.sh: validates with the new code first, keeps prev/ for --rollback, --keep-config,
derived ExitTimeOut, wider deploy list, waits for the start stamp
- config.json: site, timing, spotify sections; Windows hosts marked; deployed to NA Ingest and
both pages re-imported once (--force) so every key carries its marker

Plan for the settings page on NA Ingest (every setting editable, what runs
where, multi-campus), built with a plan-and-audit workflow and consolidated
against a decisions list; the audit's 157 findings and their dispositions;
the 544-item inventory of everything configurable today.

atem_watch.js (run with Companion's node + its atem-connection) keeps one
connection to the switcher and compares, every second, every Fairlight
source's mix option and fader and every camera's settings with
atem-reference.xml (the 2026-10-07 14:59:55 restore file). ATEM shows
ATEM AUDIO WRONG / ATEM CAMERA WRONG; the hold and Sunday auto-fix send
back only what differs. ATEM SW MIDI ON is fixed by quitting ATEM Software
Control, switching midiEnabled off and reopening it. Live check: switcher
matches the file (0 differences, 1440 camera values).

New 'pref' check reads an app setting on NA Ingest (defaults read) every
10 s; ATEM shows ATEM SW MIDI ON if midiEnabled is not 0.

A LaunchAgent helper on that Mac (Accessibility) reads Options > Solo Mode
every second into a status file and ticks AFL/Latch on request. APPS
alarms PT SOLO NOT AFL (hold fixes it; in the Sunday auto-fix list) and
PT SOLO CHECK OFF when the helper is not running or not allowed.

- NA Tracks and the ProPresenter Mac: one long-lived ssh each streams the
MIDI sessions (checked twice a second, sent on change) instead of an ssh
login every 5 s; a silent stream gives no verdict after 12 s.
- NA Ingest's own session is read twice a second (was every 2 s).
- MIDI links show a drop after 1 s (was 3 s); everything redraws twice a
second (was once).

At 07:45:55 the six tcp-HyperDeck helper connections (behind the 'reboot
all' button, watched by no tile) flickered together; each counted as its
own group, so NET showed a blip and auto-fix paused, though the real
HyperDeck connections and everything else stayed up.

Only files named exactly '<YYYY-MM-DD> <Weekday> Auto-Fix.log' in that

~/Desktop/Auto-Fix Logs/<YYYY-MM-DD Weekday> Auto-Fix.log, written line by
line as it happens: auto-fix on/off, each problem and what was done (try n
of 2), the result, when the fault cleared, give-ups, and when it held back
(network problem, several Dante devices gone). Tests write to a temp
folder.

Sundays 06:30-13:30, with ALARMS on, a fault that has lasted 20 s is fixed
by itself if the fix is gentle (reconnects, HyperDeck off/on, Tascam, MIDI,
rtpMIDI, starting a closed Vista/Resolume/OBS/Ableton/Translate, DVS on one
Mac). At most 2 tries 90 s apart; key shows AUTO-FIXING. Anything that
closes a running program stays a hold (load_config refuses it).
A review before going live (2 lenses, each finding verified) confirmed and
this fixes: a Dante-wide "gone" (Ingest's view) would restart DVS on every
Mac every minute - several devices gone at once now means hands off; the
try limit reset whenever a fix made its fault blink - tries are kept until
the fault has been gone 10 min; DVS on Ingest kills ProdCom - removed from
the auto list; restarting dead connections looked like a network burst -
only a connection good in the last 30 s counts; a restart key could kill
an app auto-fix was starting; concurrent MIDI reconnects overwrote each
other - now one worker. Auto-fix errors are caught so the panel keeps
running. 105 tests.

The Bible TV PC's Wi-Fi dropped for ~30 s at 06:17 on 2026-10-11; the
hold could not reach it and showed FIX FAILED, though nothing on the PC
was broken. An ssh fix that cannot reach its machine now shows e.g.
"BIBLE APP NOT REACHABLE".

After a deck restarts, Companion's HyperDeck connection does not come back
by itself and a plain restart of the connection does not help; switching
it off and on does. Each HD key's hold now does exactly that (even when it
looks green), waits 15 s and checks: DONE, STILL OFFLINE (deck pings) or
NO NETWORK. Decks are no longer rebooted by the panel; a recording deck is
left alone. Tested live on HD2 (off/on, reconnected in 17 s).

- A Restart page key flashes red "HOLD TO FIX" while any check that its
fix (or a fix/connection in its "watch") covers is down, e.g. DVS
TRACKS when DANTE misses NA-Tracks.
- Ableton's start and restart reopen the set Live last opened (read from
its Log.txt before quitting; templates skipped) instead of the default
template. Tested live: ABLETON and TRANSLATE restart keys.

After the network test SuperRack sat in NA Ingest's session as
"initializing"; the hold saw it listed and did nothing ("already").
connect_peer now drops a listed-but-not-live peer and adds it back,
building the second write from the first so a slow re-read cannot leave
it dropped. Tested live today: DVS x4, APPS and INGEST holds, NET clear,
CAPTIONS and BRIDGE restart keys.

- The remembered network blip is a flashing amber warning (new "notice"
level, not counted as DOWN): press NET to stop the flashing, hold NET 2 s
to clear it, otherwise it goes by itself after 5 minutes (was 3, solid).
- The user moved the Restart page to page 20: config, the RESTART PAGE key
on page 19 and both pages re-pushed. A scan of all pages finds no other
button pointing at the old page.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Page 23 "Restart": hold a key 2 s to restart DVS (4 Macs), ProPresenter,
Ableton, Church Translate, ProdCom, ProdDash, captions, the bridge or the
Tascam connection even when the status page says it is fine ("force",
shared 60 s guard). RESTART PAGE key on page 19, STATUS PAGE back.
- Holds carry Companion's clock; ones queued while the watchdog was down
are dropped instead of firing together later.
- TASCAM hold always reconnects and checks again after 20 s: HUNG - POWER
CYCLE IT (pings, control port hung), NO NETWORK, or turns a disabled
connection on. Tascam pinged at its Companion address.
- INGEST: ProdCom (:24480), ProdDash's page (:24500), the caption screen;
DVS on Ingest restarts ProdCom afterwards. RESI: the encoder (10.1.10.202).
- Windows starts check the app really started (FIX FAILED otherwise); OBS's
start task runs elevated (OBS is "Run as administrator"); setup script
does that for any such app and gives sshd restart-on-failure.
- push_page.py checks what is on the target page, not its name (pages 22
and 97 are named "PAGE" but hold buttons); --which restart.
- Companion custom variables are written in the request body (no URL limit).
Reviewed by a 3-lens review with per-finding verification; 7 confirmed
issues fixed. Tested live: OBS hold opens OBS; Restart page TASCAM key.

lighting-midi (Companion's MIDI out through NA Ingest's session) on MIDI;

It flickers to "warning" every 15-20 minutes and made APPS blink for

A power-off test today took 18-27 s to show on RF (Companion's Shure
modules' own timeout). Each Axient, ULXD and PSM receiver is now pinged
every 3 s: "AXIENT 1 NO PING" in about 6-9 s. A ping check may name a
Companion "conn"; its address is read from Companion's settings database
(read-only, every 60 s), with "host" as the fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found in today's power-off test: a Shure/PSM check reports "conn" while its
connection is down and per-channel results once it is back, so the
"AXIENT 1 OFFLINE" tracker never saw OK. The button looked green, but no
CLEAR was logged and a hold on RF would still have restarted the Shure
connections. A tracker missing from a round now gets an OK update.

The Art-Net heartbeat moves from APPS to a VISTA tile ("VISTA / SILENT";
"VISTA SILENT" on SHOW and ALL), hold starts Vista if it is not running.
SHOW now groups MIDI, APPS and VISTA. Tested live before the move: closing
Vista and Resolume alarmed, and each hold brought them back (Vista 5 s,
Arena 9 s after the hold).

- Hold MIDI on "LIGHT PC MIDI GONE" starts the rtpMIDI service, then its tray
app, only if they are not running (a restart drops every session).
- The Lighting PC's rtpMIDI service now has Windows recovery actions
(restart after 5 s, 5 s, 30 s); windows-setup.ps1 sets the same.
- coremidi.disconnect_peer (Disconnect in Audio MIDI Setup), used to test the
alarms: all six links dropped and came back (four by themselves, two by
the hold).
- Audio MIDI Setup need not be open: quitting it on NA Ingest left the
session connected.

Adds Tracks -> Livebox, Tracks -> Studio B and ProPresenter -> Lighting
(read on the ProPresenter Mac over SSH), each with the hold-to-reconnect fix.
coremidi.py now recognises the network MIDI driver on macOS 26.2 too
("AppleMIDIRTPDriver"; 26.5 calls it "AppleMIDINetworkDriver"), which is why
the ProPresenter Mac's session looked empty before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
macOS's MIDINetworkSession API only reaches the default session (blank and
disabled on NA Ingest and NA Tracks), so coremidi.connect_peer writes the
named session's "apple.midirtp.session" settings with the peer added, as
Audio MIDI Setup's Connect does. Existing peers are passed back unchanged.
The watchdog remembers each peer's last address (config "address" is the
fallback) and runs it locally for NA Ingest's session or over SSH on the
Tracks Mac for NA Tracks' (FX lights). Checked live: both Macs answer
"already" while the Lighting PC is connected.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tracks sends the FX lighting cues to the Lighting PC through NA Tracks'
network MIDI session. A midi_peer check may now name a "host": the watchdog
reads that Mac's sessions over SSH every 5 s, sending this folder's
coremidi.py over stdin (nothing installed there). Unreachable = no verdict;
the Tracks Mac's own ping check covers that.

Its Bonjour firewall rules only allow Public; switched to Private it dropped
out of the MIDI directory and could not rejoin NA Ingest's session.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tested live: restarting rtpMIDIService brought the Lighting PC's Bonjour
advert back but dropped it from the NA Ingest and NA Tracks sessions, and it
did not rejoin them. macOS only exposes the default network session to
scripts, not NA Ingest's named one, so there is no safe automatic reconnect.
MIDI now has no hold fix; the README says how to reconnect by hand.
ssh fixes run with LogLevel=ERROR so warnings stay out of the log.

- OBS: start OBS on the LiveStream PC if it is not running, then reconnect
Companion. If the PC does not answer, send Wake-on-LAN and show WAKING PC.
- ARENA: start Resolume Arena on the Lighting PC if it is not running, then
reconnect Companion. VISTA SILENT: start Vista if it is not running.
A running OBS, Arena or Vista is never closed.
- MIDI (LIGHT PC): restart the rtpMIDI service; it reconnects to its saved
peers (NA Ingest, NA ProP, NA Tracks).
- Fixes may set "reconnect" (restart the check's Companion connection after
the command succeeds); hosts may set "mac"/"wake_broadcast" for Wake-on-LAN.
- windows-setup.ps1 finds OBS on any drive and Vista, and leaves Wake-on-LAN
alone when it is already on (changing it can reset the adapter).
- Tests stub the fix executors so a hold in a test never reaches a machine.

The Startup-folder shortcut on the Sanctuary TV PC is switched off in
Startup apps, so the app stayed closed after a restart. The StatusPanel
task now has a logon trigger (set live on that PC over SSH too), and a
re-run of the script keeps it.

Windows' OpenSSH firewall rule covers Private networks only, so SSH timed out

Add-WindowsCapability can finish without registering the sshd service until

- The hold-to-fix deck probe takes each HyperDeck's IP from its Companion
connection's "ip" variable, so the config no longer repeats them.
- APPS shows "VISTA SILENT" when the Lighting PC's Art-Net poll (every 0.5 s)
is not heard for 5 s: a crashed or closed Vista shows in seconds, not the
minute macOS takes to drop a network MIDI peer.
- tascam-quiet/ builds the Tascam DA-6400 module 1.3.1-quiet: the recorder's
"Illegal Status" warning is logged once a minute, not 5 times a second.
- README: hold-to-fix table fixed and updated.

Every 10 minutes the watchdog maps each Dante device: name and IP from
Companion, MAC from NA Ingest's ARP table, switch port and PoE state from
the Netgear switches in dante_switches, saved to dante-map.json. A DANTE hold
on a missing PoE-powered device power-cycles the port it is on now (found
live by MAC, or its last known port if it has aged out and nothing else is
there); never a port with more than 2 devices. Re-patching, adding or
renaming devices needs no config change. First live map: 19 devices, the 4
Studio B boxes on PoE.
