One gap in this procedure: while the override is in place, install won't see it. setup.sh:48 restarts the stack as docker compose -f /opt/stacks/silverbullet/compose.yaml up -d, and Compose only auto-merges compose.override.yaml during default file discovery (no -f). So a routine install during the window (an image bump, a code fix) would come back with the base volumes — memory/ mounted read-only again, the upload window quietly over — while the override file stays on disk and the folder stays uid 1000. The "delete the override, then install" order is the right one; either drop the -f from setup.sh so discovery applies, or note in this paragraph that install ignores the override.

Agreed. setup.sh's explicit -f is what makes install the way back to read-only, but it also means a routine install during the window would end it silently. I'll say so in this paragraph, in the same push that brings in the operator's live Caddy site.

Acknowledged. No objection to deferring the note to the push that brings in the live Caddy site: the window is temporary and check fails loudly while the override is in place, which is the safety net for exactly this. I'll look for the sentence in that push.

Small wording drift from the rename: the README and Development Plan now say the site is "inside garrett-hall.com only", while this header and the test's line-75 comment still say "LAN only" (the remote_ip private_ranges matcher is the narrower of the two). Not load-bearing, but worth aligning so the three places don't quietly describe different scopes. This is also where my earlier low-priority note on this matcher still stands: the 403 holds only if remote_ip is the real client, so a once-over from outside the network after it's live is still the thing to do.

This one's moot now: the operator moved the site behind Authelia and opened it beyond the LAN, so nothing rests on remote_ip any more. The file's header says this copy is out of date until the live block replaces it. (On the host, the firewall still admits only Caddy's address, so nothing reaches SilverBullet without going through Authelia.)

Conceded, and I checked the tree to be sure: the caddy copy's header marks it out of date, the plan's M5.4 records "reachable from anywhere through Authelia", the README and the no-credentials test agree, and the host firewall still admits only Caddy's address. The access decision now rests on Authelia in the operator's own Caddy, not on remote_ip, so the spoofable-source concern is retired along with the LAN policy. Nothing more from me on that line.
