- NA's CAMPUS page (99): tap = acknowledge, hold = fix, at the campus shown. NA's settings page
turns the cell into that campus's key and writes the command into that campus's Companion
(sp_cmd), exactly as a press on its own deck does. Logged on both sides.
- coremidi.JXA_CONNECT: connect_peer in JavaScript for Automation, used when a Mac has no python
(no Command Line Tools): a MIDI hold now reconnects Woonsocket's Tracks, FOH and Lights.
- Woonsocket's MIDI links are on wired addresses now (Tracks to Lighting 10.2.2.2, Tracks to FOH
10.2.1.12; the other ends list Tracks at 10.2.1.219), and the wired-network rule is back on there.
- Auto-setup keeps one check per MIDI link (the end that reports the link's state): two pulled
links read 4 DOWN before.
Tried live: a hold sent from NA's page 99 reconnected the FOH link at Woonsocket.

From the WS Production Startup checklist (check.watersmedia.org):
- M32 (the "X32" there is a Midas M32 at 10.2.1.146): Woonsocket's Companion got the X32/M32
module (imported from NA's copy through Companion's own API) and an m32 connection; auto-setup
names a single M32 connection's key M32.
- SuperRack's link to the Waves SoundGrid server: a soundgrid check builder (SuperRack's control
connection on port 19000) inside every SUPERRACK key.
- MIDI ("Open Audio MIDI"): Macs without the Command Line Tools have their sessions read with
JavaScript for Automation (coremidi.JXA_SESSIONS) - by the watchdog every 2 s and by discovery. A
peer with no state (older macOS) counts as configured. A peer joined by name or IPv6 gets the
wired address of the Mac whose session it is (matched by session name), at that session's port.

Tracks had joined NA Ingest, Lighting PC and Studio B by Bonjour name: macOS picks the network
each time, so a reconnect could land on Wi-Fi or Dante. The wired check now also names a link
joined by name; holding MIDI moves it to the wired address its own MIDI check names (a hold
only: auto-fix never moves a working link). Reconnects prefer a wired address over a Wi-Fi or
by-name one they last saw. The settings refuse a MIDI link whose address is a name or off the
wired network, and the add-a-link screen fills in the wired address. Studio B's link now has its
wired address, and Tracks' link to NA Ingest is watched (TRK INGEST). All links on the four Macs
were moved and checked: wired IPv4, running.

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.

- 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.

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.

status_panel.py runs on NA Ingest as a LaunchAgent. Every second it reads
Companion's connection statuses and module variables, adds what Companion
cannot see (network MIDI peers, Bonjour sessions, pings, launchd services,
disk, Resi cloud, the Bible TV app), and writes one JSON custom variable that
page 19 renders. Buttons acknowledge alarms, mute them, and restart a stuck
Companion connection on a two second hold. If the watchdog stops, the page
turns purple instead of freezing on stale green.
make_page.py builds the page export from config.json; tests/ runs offline
against a fake Companion and a CoreMIDI loopback.
