[`docs/roadmap.md`](docs/roadmap.md) is the narrative — what is outstanding and
why it is in that order.

turns the firewall's restore runbook from a hypothesis into something rehearsed.
The current top items: rack the shelf switch, and rehearse the firewall restore
on the spare ProDesk — ordered 2026-09-08 — which turns that runbook from a
hypothesis into something rehearsed.
The UPS is finished — a pack went into `mjolnir` on 2026-08-28, passed its
self-test, and the card is set to test itself every fortnight
([#93](https://github.com/Gerrrt/HomeLab/issues/93)) — but the switch between
the monitoring host and the network still has no battery at all, so both laptops
stay running and go deaf on a mains cut
([#110](https://github.com/Gerrrt/HomeLab/issues/110)); and the config export
itself now leaves the monitoring host nightly, so the spare is what is left

what to record. **The spare is ordered**, 2026-09-08: the same ProDesk 600 G4
model with the same i5-8500T and 32 GB, a 512 GB SSD where `morpheus` has
1 TB (a pfSense config is kilobytes, so nothing turns on that), in transit.
It still needs a USB NIC of its own for the switch-management LAN, which the
runbook calls out. When it arrives: bench rehearsal first, then the #110
shelf, powered off. Writing that procedure found the runbook's own decrypt
command had never been run: it passed `--input-type binary`, which sops
rejects on the first byte of a real export, so a restore following the
runbook would have stopped at step one. Fixed, and it is the kind of thing
