Orion vault — clean initial history

Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on
2026-10-01. Deliberately orphaned: prior history contained a plaintext
password and stays local-only on branch archive/pre-boilerplate-history.
Secrets and live Hermes state are gitignored.

+## Known Problems and Fixes
+
+> Extracted from the meeting notes processed 2026-09-05 (27 meetings, 2026-03-20 to 2026-08-31).
+> Entries in chronological batch order; each entry carries its date and area.
+<!-- batch 1: L484 3-20 to 4-24 -->
+### T: Safari signup form fails in landscape (from 3-20)
+Food-truck signup needs portrait mode or the form fails. Fix: Zaza to debug; interim: staff tell people to tilt their phone.
+
+### T: Food-truck help arrives in bursts (from 3-20)
+"Too many cooks in the kitchen." Fix: define explicit roles; Farmer Sam is standing backup.
+
+### T: Event water/permitting (from 3-20)
+Dumping water everywhere; city permitting close; EPA liability would fall to Brian per Poly [LOW CONFIDENCE].
+
+### T: Event calendar empty (from 4-10)
+No events at Secure.castlecathedral.com. Fix: log all events; "don't let the calendar be a bottleneck" (Izzy).
+
+### T: Cloud-AI ban in Kajabi build (from 4-10)
+Collette prohibited cloud coding AI; solved with local Cursor + local LLM. Constraint: sleep (Corbin).
+
+### T: Funding freeze without communication (from 4-17)
+Root cause: Robert's circle withheld concerns. Workaround: resignation letter first; new investor search. Lesson: silence forces the team to guess.
+
+### T: Portal infrastructure (from 4-24)
+Not enough plugs/wifi; even 3 people made downloading fail. Rule: >5 people → don't use Portal.
+
+### T: castlecathedral.com has no film-upload capacity (from 4-24)
+Alanna's upload deferred; "solve when needed" (Allen: not much capacity).
+
+### T: Syntropy continuity during 3-month gap (from 4-24)
+Dr. Brothers leaving ~first week May. Fix: remote scan→appointment flow; machine runner TBD (Eliza/Allen).
+
+### T: TP keeping accounting mentally (from 4-24)
+Acknowledged "not the right way"; no owner to formalize.
+
+<!-- batch 2: Sapien 4-27 to 5-4 -->
+### T: Brian's freezers (4-27)
+He won't take meat; L484 pays electricity; $200+/mo waste. Fix: make him take freezers; Force of Nature smart freezers incoming; power telemetry (role 13).
+
+### T: Untracked food/event income (5-4)
+Venmo/cash/BTC to individuals. Fix: LLC → Square POS; interim sole-prop + cash box.
+
+### T: No merchant account (5-4)
+Blocked on L484 not being an LLC. Fix: form 484 LLC or use Asif's LLC + DBA.
+
+### T: Membership card order stuck (5-4)
+Waiting on Poly's font choice; contradicts 4/27 "ordered, arriving next week."
+
+### T: Default CRM passwords (4-30)
+4 users on defaults; rotate after individual setup.
+
+### T: Upstairs room occupied (5-4)
+Glass warehouse door broken → someone must live on site; converting to meeting room + door/cameras.
+
+### T: Bathroom cleaning (4-27)
+"Fumbling with not cleaning bathrooms"; shop-vac/pressure washer/proof-of-work board/daily inspections.
+
+<!-- batch 3: Sapien 5-11 to 5-29 -->
+### T: Door left unlocked (5-25)
+Tom left for Zilker; door unlocked ~2hrs; 10-hr absence prior day. Fix: staff chat + weekly accountability.
+
+### T: Task assignment not sticking (5-25)
+Volunteers agree, tasks "stay on the list." Fix: named asks + Friday check-ins; CRM assignment proposed (Tom) not built.
+
+### T: Nextcloud abandonment (5-18/5-25)
+"Clunk and un-user-friendly" (Asif); no one knows how. Fix: onboarding (Collette teaches) + usage expectations.
+
+### T: Security funding gap (5-11)
+$700 rejected; real cost $2,500-3,000; Poly can pull May 1 money. No owner.
+
+### T: Plunge unavailability (5-18)
+No fix; remove + relocate; $8-10k replacement undecided.
+
+### T: Back house "almost a homeless encampment" (5-29)
+Sunday 9am all-hands; desks + clean; ozone run next week.
+
+### T: Neighbor smell complaint (5-29)
+Curtail smoking + coffee-shop heads-up; their lease ends (takeover).
+
+### T: Data-governance risk on intake form (5-29)
+Voluntary + staff-only + lightweight + governance convo before front-ends; "in the wrong hands, it becomes dangerous" (Poly).
+
+<!-- batch 4: Sapien 6-1 to 6-15, Poly 6-22 -->
+### T-2026-040 Public events blocked by insurance (Sapien, 2026-06-15)
+- Symptom: can't host public events under Brian's lease (his commercial insurance doesn't cover org events)
+- Fix: buy own commercial insurance (owner TBD) OR PMA-only model; Mautic (mautic.l484.com) = compliant member-notification DB
+- Related: D-2026-062
+
+### T-2026-041 Zack won't sign LOI without assurance (2026-06-22)
+- Symptom: 5-year hook risk ("what if Poly dies? No one can replicate")
+- Fix: $250k BTC war-chest wallet as assurance (not insurance); deadline 6/26
+- Related: D-2026-066
+
+### T-2026-042 No walk-away power in lease negotiation (2026-06-22)
+- Symptom: Daniel knows we have no other choice
+- Fix: find second location ($21k/mo benchmark), show investors both options, "finish lease with Brian or walk" (pending Blaze)
+
+### T-2026-043 Space doesn't sell itself to investors (2026-06-22)
+- Symptom: "Nothing is really specially captivating"
+- Fix: Lunar Punk rebrand, same-day choreography, AI visualizations, door-lock demo (Ali)
+
+<!-- batch 5: L484 7-10, SolLunar 7-17/7-20, L484 7-24 -->
+### T-2026-050 Sapien lease unsigned; old lease missing (2026-07-10→)
+- Symptom: Brian can't find the old lease ("he probably deleted it"); sign/utilities/fence/food trucks all gated
+- Fix: 30-day rent hold; Blaze meets Daniel in Prague (7-17); Angel/Blaze/Poly negotiate; Shadrach = guarantor
+- Status: still open at 7-20 (month-to-month on rent)
+
+### T-2026-051 Yellow-house server room power shortfall (2026-07-10/24)
+- Symptom: "not enough power to utilize shelves yet"
+- Fix: find + relocate Indra's electrical bundle (Ali hunting; may be in AIW-space box); crawl space usable with landlord consent; 3 desks + machines now, 2x4 wood shelf
+- Related: Ali's server-shelf build (7-24)
+
+### T-2026-052 Brian's mountain of stuff + 15yo freezers + unsafe outdoor shower (2026-07-17)
+- Symptom: food-prep risk, mold/jagged shower, no drain, +1000 sqft locked in dead freezers
+- Fix: deep clean day (next week, date TBD); meat → big freezer; pull freezers; remove shower (can't permit); bus → driveway kitchen; line set post-lease
+- Note: "He'll take it well from Angel"
+
+### T-2026-053 Noderunner "walk in and see what we have today" (2026-07-17)
+- Symptom: no CS/fulfillment/scalability
+- Fix: Hakeem's open-source back-end
+
+<!-- batch 6: SolLunar 7-27/8-10/8-17, L484 8-14 -->
+### Lease still unsigned after 4+ meetings (7-10 → 8-10), now gated on Ben — chase; everything downstream waits.
+### Form → spreadsheet not auto-updating — re-sync hack now; Poly's results-display software (quote).
+### CO 49-person cap vs launch scale — temp use permit OR outdoor CO ~150 + 700 sqft tent.
+### Electricity shortage — prioritize paying customers; power additions.
+### Network 8-gig → 2MB — provider change (Ali).
+### Contributions "only exist in Poly's head" — Kyle's one-on-one sessions by month-end.
+### Trust disengagement — organization + comms plan; "look at ourselves first".
+### Hakeem out (rib) — affiliate terms still flow; programming contracts queued.
+### Free-giving habit — stop; co-op food (Jay).
+### Fence = lease violation — trellis/gate/hoop tunnel.
+### Data-center onboarding gatekeeping — home data center demo; sell storage.
+
+<!-- batch 7: SolLunar 8-24/8-31, Sapien Opening/Closing -->
+### "Recurring event signage failure at Solarpunk" (2026-08-24 / 2026-08-31)
+- Problem: last year, attendees didn't know when things were happening; cabanas hard to find.
+- Workaround: hologram fans + big TV with rotating ads; programmable/reusable signage over static; "visible and cool, but restricted access" for the lounge (password + scavenger hunt).
+- Status: mitigation decided; execution unverified.
+
+### "Sapien inventory list missing + ordering ownership unknown" (undated checklist)
+- Problem: weekly duty "check inventory" has no list ("(List needed)"; known items: TP, napkins, plates) and no named orderer ("ordering more or finding out who is ordering them").
+- Workaround: none recorded.
+- Status: open; natural fix = write the list + name an owner.
+
+### "Seth Blaustein (arcade contact) reliability risk" (2026-08-31)
+- Problem: Angel's experience — he says yes to anything, then ghosts; only engages when aligned with what he's doing "in this moment."
+- Workaround: don't build plans on him; pitch only tightly aligned ideas.
+- Status: open; arcade also has fallbacks (Jeremy Champagne building it; Jessie's mini-Nintendo).
+
+### "Summit volunteer coordination unowned" (2026-08-31)
+- Problem: Jessie is workshop liaison, NOT volunteer coordinator; no one owns Summit-level volunteers; known pattern of interested people "not getting added to anything."
+- Workaround: volunteers self-book tickets at solarpunksummit.com; visible status tracking (12-installation tracker with Stephanie); directed steps for show-ups.
+- Status: open.
