Research Update — August 29, 2026

Golang Role Repair Complete

The lab.franklin.golang Ansible role had three defects: incorrect golang_version default (1.24.0), broken Jinja double-paren syntax in two templates, and missing galaxy metadata. All fixed.

An integration test harness was scaffolded under tests/integration/targets/golang/. The Go 1.24.0 download + extract verify cycle passed clean.

FOKS Role Scaffolding Complete

The lab.franklin.foks role was built from scratch with full directory structure (meta, defaults, vars, tasks, templates, handlers). Tasks flow: install → configure → bootstrap → service. The upstream repo at https://github.com/foks-proj/go-focs.git is reachable.

FOKS Integration Test — Blocked, Not Failed

The harness works but the converge cannot reach a passing state. Three blockers:

• Go PATH injection in configure.yml requires golang_install_dir to be set by the converge playbook.
• Converge file drift — converge files landed under both a correct focs/ directory and a stale typo directory.
• Role name mismatch in one converge variant (lab.franklin.focs vs lab.franklin.foks).

Node1 Remediation Directive

node1 (RPi CM4/CM5 Ollama compute, 10.10.12.1) was stuck in [node_access_pending] because:

• The root user's authorized_keys had a key, but Ansible connects as franklin, not root.
• /home/franklin was a symlink to unmounted NFS (/mnt/clusterfs2).
• StrictModes silently rejected the connection due to missing franklin user + wrong ownership.

A remediation directive covering all four platform keys, NFS mount repair, local franklin account provisioning, and passwordless sudo was issued. Pending Franklin's execution.
