Stack Status
High-level architecture, public-safe VM telemetry, and selected project milestones. Enough context to show the work without exposing administrative detail.
Security posture: Internal hostnames, addresses, and administrative surfaces are not published here. Administration remains private, while public services enter through a controlled edge layer.
Trust Plane Model
Everything operates within one of four trust planes. Plane membership determines access rules, not role, not convenience.
Platform VM Telemetry
Public-safe virtualization state for applicable workloads. This feed does not represent physical hosts, logical roles, or application-level health.
Core Architecture State
Curated lifecycle state for foundational systems. These cards are intentionally independent of the VM telemetry feed.
Service & Domain Inventory
Workloads are separated by trust boundary and operational role. Public, internal, data, and support services are split where isolation, lifecycle, or recovery requirements justify it.
SKALD / Intelligence Layer
SKALD is the local intelligence and orchestration layer above Norn and approved infrastructure tools. Syd Prime is the primary orchestration role. ForgeGolem remains the separate configuration-management layer for repeatable configuration and policy enforcement across the Forge. Credential authority remains isolated from AI context and accessed only through controlled service boundaries.
Project Milestones
Selected outcomes that materially changed TekForge, its tools, or the way the environment operates.
-
SKALD reached a private runtime baselineSyd Prime established a working private SKALD service with local inference and Norn-aware context assembly. A known-good checkpoint is in place before the next agent-runtime phase.
-
Syd Prime entered build and stagingThe primary orchestration role entered build and staging, establishing the hardened local foundation for SKALD.
-
Endpoint-management service hardening completedCredential rotation, configuration review, and service validation strengthened the endpoint-management platform.
-
Norn established shared operational authorityNorn’s local-first clients now operate with shared authority and validated multi-device convergence across its core operational systems.
-
Network control foundation entered active useForgeCharon and managed switching established segmented trust zones, private name resolution, and controlled remote access as the working network foundation for later workload migration.
-
Arcenhammer reached private NornPrivate name resolution and trusted TLS were validated on the hardened mobile endpoint, allowing Norn to use its private access path without exposing the service publicly.
-
ForgeWorx released as a local-first open-source toolkitCompass, Vault, and Ember turn the action, memory, and health boundaries proven inside Norn into a portable toolkit that can be used without carrying personal data or infrastructure-specific state.
-
Sportsball released after real tournament useThe offline-first Android bracket manager supports single elimination, double elimination, pool play, and round robin. It ran a fifteen-team event from check-in through the final match before release under the MIT license.
-
Norn unified six personal-operations pillarsAtlas, Mimir, Fountain, Shop, Vault, and Ledger now operate as one suite for action, memory, health, procurement, inventory, and finance, with shared navigation across web and Android.
-
Duties deployed as a managed daily-support applicationA purpose-built Android application now supports daily tasks, planning, check-ins, and review on a managed device, reducing friction between the plan and the place where it is used.
-
UPS-backed graceful shutdown establishedThe primary virtualization host now monitors battery state and shuts workloads down in a defined order before power exhaustion, replacing a full-stack hard outage with a controlled stop.
-
Managed network segmentation introducedPublic, administrative, virtualization, server, and untrusted traffic now have explicit trust boundaries instead of sharing one flat network. Routing policy is being centralized at the firewall.
-
ForgeMind publishing surface launchedA separate public publishing environment created a home for Open Wavelength while keeping its identity and content distinct from TekForge and other operated domains.
-
React2Shell exposure reviewed and ruled outProbe activity against a critical React vulnerability triggered a full review of public services. The traffic was blocked at the edge, and the affected technology was not present in the exposed stack.
-
ForgeHound MDM enrolled its first managed endpointSelf-hosted Android management now provides device-owner enrollment, policy enforcement, application delivery, and a custom launcher for a real family support use case.
-
TekForge Commons launchedA private, invite-only community space now runs on TekForge infrastructure, giving collaboration and discussion a home without depending on a public social platform.
-
Ansible baseline extended across the VM fleetPackages, time synchronization, SSH hardening, connectivity checks, and firewall expectations now share one repeatable baseline across in-scope systems.
-
Backup recovery verified through restorationRecovery moved beyond having backup files: a restore test proved that protected systems could be brought back and their primary services validated.
