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.
