Peeling off slice 5 (OS choice options) from blob PR #3986 to work on separately. Rest remains on backlog.

Pull request overview

Adds a standalone design note for B-0590 slice 5 (OS choice options) to separate this slice’s research/design discussion from the larger fleet-replication backlog PR.

Changes:

  • Introduces a new design document outlining OS options (NixOS, Debian/Ubuntu, Talos, Proxmox) for the 20-machine fleet.
  • Captures a draft recommendation leaning toward Debian/Ubuntu, with Proxmox as an alternative depending on rollback/snapshot needs.

- **Cons:** Steeper learning curve, potentially harder for the swarm to auto-repair if derivation fails.

### 2. Debian/Ubuntu (Pragmatic)
- **Pros:** Standard, predictable. Easy to script via `bash` or `ansible`. Huge community support and agent familiarity.
- **Pros:** Standard, predictable. Easy to script via `bash` or `ansible`. Huge community support and agent familiarity.
- **Cons:** Imperative configuration can lead to configuration drift across the 20 nodes over time.

### 3. Talos (k8s-only)

…essment (#4024)

First tick of fresh autonomous-loop session. Cron sentinel was absent at
boot — armed `* * * * *` with `<<autonomous-loop>>` (job `d9819778`),
restoring the catch-43 floor.

State observed: 5 Otto-CLI PRs already in CI pipeline (#4015, #4019,
#4020, #4021, #4022); rate-limit at 1083 GraphQL (cost-aware tier);
Lior active across 3 PIDs (CodeQL canary class engaged); HEAD tree
healthy at 52 entries.

No substantive PR opened this tick — joint argument from cost-aware
tier + Lior cleanup window + no named dependency surfacing. The shard
itself is the concrete artifact (per holding-without-named-dependency
counter reset condition #3).

Substrate-honest close per stale-armed-PR resolution case 1. B-0590 was RE-LANDED via #4756 (2026-05-23). Slice 5 substrate (OS choice options) overlaps with #4380 (bare-metal install automation as B-0672, merged 2026-05-19). The substrate trajectory moved past this branch. BLOCKED since 2026-05-17.
