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.

Bose Flex 2 — stalled power-on connect handshake (watchdog service)
Symptom: Powering the speaker on, it announces "Omarchy" then just beeps — BlueZ never completes the Connect handshake, so audio doesn't come through.
Fix (2026-09-14): bt-bose-watch systemd user service — ~/.local/bin/bt-bose-watch polls BlueZ every 2s and auto-retries Connect when the speaker is known-but-disconnected. Installed + enabled 2026-09-14.
- Pause temporarily:
touch ~/.config/bt-bose-watch.disabled - Stop for good:
systemctl --user disable --now bt-bose-watch.service
Operational lesson (Hermes): never run disconnect/reconnect tests on live audio without warning the user first.
