Client work

revisionisthistory.org paused 14d since touched

Infrastructure

Dashboard auth — parked pending a decision todo 0d since touched

**Status: PARKED 2026-08-31.** The dashboard is live on the LAN

@russell Decide: client-cert CA (A), SSO (B), or netbird-only (C)
Whichever — wire up `brain.rrmann.com` and confirm from the phone

Firecrawl — shared web scraping for every project todo 3d since touched

**Status: TO-DO, not urgent.** Captured 2026-08-28 so the design questions are settled

Decide cloud vs self-hosted
Create the account / deploy, put the key in LastPass, add a manifest entry
Install at user scope: `claude mcp add -s user firecrawl -- npx -y firecrawl-mcp`
Confirm it appears in a project that is not the one it was installed from
Add the MCP config path to `harvest-machine.ps1` and to `CUTOVER-MANN.md`

iffwatch server build notes reference 6d since touched

Build runbook for the iffwatch MediaWiki server: Ubuntu + Apache + MariaDB + PHP 8.3,

Confirm it is still alive and still billed: `ssh iffwatch 'uptime'` once the key is installed.
If live: rotate the MariaDB password — it was in plaintext on disk and on the NAS

Exported 2026-08-25 from MANN-DAD and verified **clean**: `.mxtsessions` is a plaintext
