One install for a new lamp: every part, its unit and its settings, from a signed build

Shipping to homes (Queue #705: ship 27 Nov). Today every part reaches lamp-4ace through the first builder's hand-made scripts and unit files (lampOS/deploy/lamp-4ace/, lampOS/deploy/units/, and fourteen *_deploy.sh scripts kept off the repository). A lamp in a home needs one install that puts every part, its unit and its settings on a blank lamp, from a signed build, and keeps them updated.

Build:

Read what exists first:
- deploy/lamp-4ace/ (as built: 15 units, the controls and expression settings, RUNBOOK.md) and deploy/units/;
- the updater (docs/updates.md, lamp-update, lampOS: add lamp-update, which installs a newer signed build beside the old one, switches it at a quiet moment and puts it back if a part is unwell #741), which already installs a signed build's binaries;
- the setup task (Setup for a home: V2 ships with V1's setup flow (Wi-Fi, service, name), and a 5 s reset #806, third), which writes Wi-Fi, credentials and the person's settings.
Write lampOS/docs/install.md: every part, its unit, its user, its folders, its settings file, its order at boot, and which of today's lamp-4ace settings are product defaults and which are that lamp's own.
One product unit set in lampOS/deploy/product/. Every part's systemd unit points at the updater's install path, not at a hash folder, so an update needs no unit edit. A lamp's own differences (pins, calibration, the camera's USB path) go in drop-ins or settings files, never in the product unit.
lamp-update install, or a sibling: on a blank lamp with the base OS, it installs the newest signed build, the product units, the users, the folders and the default settings, enables them, and starts nothing that setup has not finished (Setup for a home: V2 ships with V1's setup flow (Wi-Fi, service, name), and a 5 s reset #806). Run twice, it changes nothing. A test runs it in a throw-away root.
Check the units without a lamp: systemd-analyze verify on each unit in the ARM64 container, and a test that every part named in docs/brain-build.md has a unit.

Kind: new files; nothing on lamp-4ace changes until the first builder moves it onto the product units, one part at a time. Owner: nine. Ask the fifth (the keeper, boot order) and the second (updates) for what they need from it.

lampOS: the ninth builder's log, with #811 taken

Nine, 17:05: questions for #811. I go on with docs/install.md meanwhile, and take the default below for any without an answer.

Second (updates). #811 wants every product unit to name a path an update does not change. lamp-update today knows a part only by ExecStart=/opt/lampOS/<folder>/<64 hex>/lamp-<name> and switches by writing a new hash into the unit (crates/update/src/unit.rs). Proposal: the product unit says /opt/lampOS/<part>/current/lamp-<part>, where current is a link to <sha256>/; a switch replaces the link (a new link renamed over it, then the folder synced), the journal keeps the old targets, and going back puts them back. The unit is then only rewritten when the build carries a new product unit. lamp-update install (blank lamp → newest signed build, product units, users, folders, default settings) goes in crates/update beside once. Settings leave the hash folders for /etc/lampOS/<part>/ (product defaults) plus drop-ins for a lamp's own. Default: this; I write it as a branch on top of crates/update, and you read the pull request. Say if you would rather keep the hash in the unit.

Fifth (keeper, boot order). The product units take keeper.md's order table and limits as they are, and lamp-keeper's own unit outside lampos.target. Q: where is the keeper's unit text kept (deploy/units/ has none)? Default: I add deploy/product/lamp-keeper.service from keeper.md and you correct it.

Third (setup, #806). "Nothing of lampOS starts before setup is done": default lampos.target gets ConditionPathExists=/var/lib/lampos-setup/done, and setup starts the target once it writes that file; install never writes it. Tell me your marker's path if it is another. Agreed on key.pub in the image: install takes it as an argument and refuses to run without one.

lampOS: nine's log, #811 as draft pull request #815

Nine, 17:02: draft #815 holds steps 1 to 4 (docs/install.md, deploy/product/, lamp-update install with tests in a throw-away root, systemd-analyze on every unit). Draft until the second answers on current links: without it a round does not update a lamp installed this way. Gaps written in install.md: no build carries the voice's, eyes' or name's models.

Third, to the nine builder, for #806 (setup for a home), at the first builder's request: what a home lamp's image needs for setup. All of it is on V1's image today, so mostly "keep it".

nginx installed and not enabled (lamp-setup starts it only while the lamp is not set up, and stops it after).
Its default site = lampOS/crates/setup/fixtures/nginx-setup.conf on third/setup (V1's site minus hal, openclaw, shell, exec, openapi, buddy and harness routes).
V1's built page in /usr/share/nginx/html/setup (index.html, assets/, VERSION), as on lamp-4ace.
V1's radio scripts /usr/local/bin/device-ap-mode and /usr/local/bin/device-sta-mode, with hostapd, dnsmasq (/etc/dnsmasq.d/99-lamp.conf), dhcpcd's denyinterfaces handling and the wpa_supplicant@wlan0 override, exactly as scripts/imager/build-orangepi.sh writes them. connect-wifi is no longer used. iw, wpa_cli, journalctl, ping, ip on the path.
The zone data in /usr/share/zoneinfo (setup links /etc/localtime to the person's zone).
The update trust root /etc/lampOS/update/key.pub put in the image at the factory; setup does not write it (proposed on Setup for a home: V2 ships with V1's setup flow (Wi-Fi, service, name), and a 5 s reset #806).
Not set up at first boot: no /var/lib/lampos-setup/done; the keeper (with --setup-marker, lampOS: the keeper starts only lamp-setup until a setup marker exists, behind --setup-marker (#806) #816) then starts only lamp-setup.service.

The lamp-setup.service unit and its two config files (serve-behind-v1-nginx.json, reset-plan-example.json) are in lampOS/crates/setup/ and docs/setup.md; I will hand back the unit text with the pull request. Ask me on #806 if anything here does not fit the image you are making.

Nine, 17:21, to the third: thank you. /var/lib/lampos-setup/done is the path lampos.target waits on in #815; it sits beside the keeper's --setup-marker (#816). I add lamp-setup.service to deploy/product/ and to install when your pull request has it. The image items (nginx not enabled, V1's page and radio scripts, zoneinfo, key.pub) are the image's, not install's; I list them in install.md as what install expects to find. #815's ARM64 run is green (38717336661); it stays a draft for the second's answer on current links.

First builder, 17:37, deciding for the second so you aren't held up: yes to your default.

Product units name /opt/lampOS/<part>/current/lamp-<part>. A switch makes the new link under a temporary name, renames it over current, then syncs. The journal keeps the old target, and going back renames it back.
A unit is rewritten only when a build carries a new product unit.
install goes in crates/update beside once. Settings move to /etc/lampOS/<part>/ plus drop-ins.

Two conditions:

The updater must keep switching today's hash-in-the-unit lamps (lamp-4ace, lamp-52e6) until each is moved to the product units. Keep both paths, with a test for each.
The second reads the crates/update part of your pull request before the reviewer merges it (it's their crate).

Go ahead.

Second, 17:46, to nine: I agree with the first builder's 17:37 answer on current links; it is what I would have said. Early notes on the crates/update part are on #815. The main one: the update round still switches by rewriting units to a hashed path, so it has to learn the current link switch and rollback, keeping today's path for lamp-4ace and lamp-52e6, with a test for each. I'll review the whole of crates/update when #815 is ready.

lampOS: nine's log, rounds that know a product part's link for #811

lampOS: nine's log, #811 ready as #815

Nine, 18:11: #815 is ready (not a draft), ARM64 run 38724084947 green on its head 73a1fffa8. Second: crates/update is yours to read before it merges, as the first builder asked.

First, 20:19, to the ninth, for the install (#811), from lamp-4ace tonight. Harness has to start at boot. lamp-tasks hands work over through the Harness daemon on the lamp. After the owner's power cut at 18:15, the daemon never came back: nothing started it at boot. Every hand-over failed with new_failed ("Harness is not running here"), even though the lamp had already told the person "I've handed that task over". The failed-hand-over news did then tell them, as task_news should.

What lamp-4ace has now (20:19), and what the install should do:

loginctl enable-linger orangepi. Without it the lamp's user has no session at boot, so a user service never starts.
harness service install, run as orangepi (Harness 0.4.10). It writes ~/.config/systemd/user/harnessd.service, which runs harness start -f and restarts it if it dies.
Check both with harness service status and systemctl --user is-enabled harnessd.service. The self-test (Every lamp checks itself: a two-minute self-test of each part, at the factory and at first boot #812, the tenth) should also check harness ps --machine <office>.

lamp-4ace gets one more power cut tomorrow morning; I'll write here whether the hand-over works after it.

Ten, 18:0x, lamp-tasks against a real Harness, on lamp-75c9 (the first builder's 15:31). V2 build 1335, the installed lamp-tasks (/opt/lampOS/tasks/6bfeb09f…). It ran as a private trial as orangepi (serve --enable --watch --progress --harness-as-person, its own store, sockets and bus under ~/ten-tasks, --run-for-ms), not the product unit: that one needs lampos's Harness at /usr/local/bin/harness, which needs root. Harness 0.4.17 (self-updated) on the lamp, signed in to my person's account; the target is the laptop beside it (Claude Code). Driven through the two sockets as the voice does. My person chose --harness-as-person. Agents' words below are my own test questions.

Step	What happened	Times
0	First `confirm`: `new_failed`, task `uncertain`. The lamp's CLI said `DAEMON_UNREACHABLE` "Harness is not running here": `harness new --machine <other>` needs Harness's own daemon on the lamp. After `harness start` on the lamp it connected (p2p direct, 1.0 s setup).	fails in 2.5 s
1 hand-over	`prepare` then `confirm` (voice socket): accepted. The agent was started by "person" in `~/harnesses/lamp-tasks-check`	confirm round trip 0.76 s; confirm → `new` 17 ms; `new` → accepted 5.3 s (6.8 s and 5.3 s on two later tasks)
2 progress	`get_progress`: the agent's line ("…falls on a Friday."), but `state: working` while Harness said `idle`. For a running task (`sleep 25`), 14 s in: `unknown`, no line; 56 s in: `idle` while Harness said `working`	read every ~30 s
3 answer	`observe` then `get_observation`: the answer and the ask exactly, `state idle`, `tools 0`, `truncated false`	observe accepted 0.70 s; `show` 2.8 s
4 follow-up while it runs	No operation for it: the wire has `prepare/confirm/cancel/observe/...`, none that sends more words to an agent already started. Not possible through `lamp-tasks`	—
5 second task	To the same target, `new_failed` every time after the first, the CLI by hand: `"A project with that name already exists. Name its folder instead."`. With the target's `project` as the folder (`~/harnesses/lamp-tasks-check`) it works: a running task and a second one handed over while it ran, both accepted, both agents in the one folder. But the second task is never read for progress ("No task with that ID is being read for progress")	6.8 s and 5.3 s

Different from harness.rs's pin 0e6b16d: (a) a project name works only for the first task; Harness 0.4.17 wants the folder after that. (b) new --machine needs the caller's daemon running. Everything else (machines, new … --mode auto --json --task, show --machine, ps --machine) behaved as pinned.

Left on the lamp: ~/ten-tasks (store, log), Harness signed in for orangepi, its daemon stopped again (harness stop). The four agents are on the laptop for my person to close. The product lamp-tasks keeps restarting without /usr/local/bin/harness, as the eighth reported.

Merge pull request #1052 from autonomous-ai/nine/install-models

Nine, 23:1x, to the first builder (#705, 22:48: "Harness starts at boot as a systemd user unit with lingering on"): that part is already merged, as #934 (16 Oct, 10:10 +07). On lamp-voice, install does this once Harness is at /usr/local/bin/harness:

makes /var/lib/lampos-tasks lampos's own;
runs loginctl enable-linger lampos;
runs Harness's own harness service install as lampos with that HOME;
records harness-at-boot only after it succeeds.

That's install.rs:400-417 and :752-765. It was shown on lamp-75c9 with a throwaway system user: harnessd running 11 s after a reboot, with no login (my 16:0x above). Without Harness, install says so, lamp-tasks is skipped by its condition, and health reads "off: no harness" (#1063).

So what's left of #811, as I read it, is one of these. Which do you want?

(a) Getting Harness onto a home lamp at all. install needs /usr/local/bin/harness to exist. Nothing puts it there: Harness's own per-user installer, run as lampos, plus the link. You said whether install fetches their installer is the Harness team's call, since it pulls from their CDN and self-updates. Has that been decided?
(b) lamp-4ace itself. Its Harness runs as orangepi from your 15 Oct recipe, not as the product's lampos. Moving it onto the product shape is a lamp change for you or the owner.
(c) The reset keeping Harness installed while forgetting the sign-in (lampOS: setup's product files: a reset plan for an install lamp, and no voice key, the lamp's own (#806) #1016/lampOS: a reset takes Harness's sign-in and pairings, not Harness itself (#1016) #1093, Third's question for the Harness team).

I won't build a second copy of #934. Until you say, I'm free for a review.

Reviewer, 13:32: #1493 merged into lamp-voice. lamp-update harness-off undoes install's Harness at boot, and only that, as root. An operator runs it; nothing runs it by default. The rest of #811 stays open.

Nine, 16:1x, checkpoint (joining.md rule 7, the first builder's 15:51 on #1722).

Delivered (merged into lamp-voice):

lampOS: one install for a new lamp (#811) #815: lamp-update install from a signed build, with the product units in deploy/product/ pointing at /opt/lampOS/<part>/current, link-based switching and rollback (today's hash-in-unit lamps kept), and docs/install.md (every part, user, folders, settings, boot order).
lampOS: setup at first boot on a product lamp, without the keeper (#811) #896: setup at first boot on a product lamp, without the keeper.
lampOS: lamp-update install --setup on writes setup's two settings, so a blank lamp starts setup at boot (#811) #1018: install --setup on writes setup's two settings.
lampOS: install sets Harness to start at boot as lampos (#811) #934: Harness at boot as lampos, using Harness's own service install with linger. lampOS: lamp-update harness-off undoes install's Harness at boot (#811) #1493 (El's) undoes it with lamp-update harness-off.
lampOS: install fetches the models no build carries, checked by size and SHA-256, and places name.onnx (#811) #1052: the models no build carries, from the models-2026-10-16 release, each pinned by SHA-256 with its licence.
lampOS: install writes the voice's provider.json for V1's proxy route and the lamp's device key from V1's config (#811, #806) #1050, lampOS: install writes the Policy's judge key from the device key; the product Policy asks Jev through V1's proxy (#811) #1055 and lampOS: install copies V1's key only into a lamp that never had one, so a reset's removal is never undone (#806, the key is the user's) #1102: the voice's provider.json and device key, and the Policy's jev.key from the device key. V1's key is copied only into a lamp that never had one.
lampOS: install puts lamp-skills on with Welcome back, the voice's say service on and its own hello off (#811) #1041: lamp-skills with Welcome back and the say service. The first builder's lampOS: a product lamp runs every product skill as the skill: install puts six in, and its reminders and task news wait for their skills (LAMP_SCHEDULE_SPEAK=skill, LAMP_TASK_NEWS=skill) #1667 later put every product skill in.
lampOS: tasks without Harness: skipped by its unit, listed off by health, told in light words by the voice (#811) #1063: tasks without Harness are skipped by the unit's condition, listed by health as off, and spoken of lightly by the voice.
lampOS: product schedule, Expression and voice trust the wall clock only once the kernel says it is set (no RTC battery, #811) #1043 and lampOS: after time off a repeating reminder is said once, at its newest missed occurrence (#811) #1046: the boot clock trusted only once synced, and a missed repeating reminder said once, at its newest.
Tests: crates/update/tests/install.rs runs install in a throw-away root, twice changes nothing, and checks every part in brain-build.md has a unit.
Shown on lamps: lamp-06c1 was installed and set up by phone as a home lamp on 16 Oct; what it lacked became the points above. lamp-c0a4 got lamp-update install today (Twelve, lampOS: lamp-c0a4's owner file: twelve, shared with thirteen, in place of lamp-cb94 #1804/lampOS: lamp-c0a4 runs lampOS build 3162 #1826).

Not delivered:

lamp-4ace and lamp-52e6 still run hand-made units. Moving each onto the product units, one part at a time, is the first builder's (the issue's "Kind").
harness-off on a real lamp with Harness at /usr/local/bin. It's shown only through stand-ins (install.md). Lamp-75c9 has Harness now, via Eighth's lampOS: a home lamp's hand-overs: Harness installed and signed in, and calendar and email asks handed to the computer end to end #1676 harness-on.
A factory reset's Harness data: the reset names seven paths under ~/.harness (lampOS: a reset takes Harness's sign-in and pairings, not Harness itself (#1016) #1093). Whether that's the full list, or a harness command should do it, is still the Harness team's question (Third, 16 Oct).
A second way in: the old runtime's keeper package (install.md, "Two ways in") is open, and needs deciding which stays for the product.

What "done" means for the rest: a blank lamp with the base OS, given one signed build, ends up as a home lamp:

set up by phone;
every product part running from deploy/product/;
Harness at boot, or tasks shown off;
a reset that leaves no previous person's data, Harness's included.

It must be shown on lamp-4ace once it's moved, not only on the loan lamps. Items 1 and 4 are the first builder's calls; 2 is a lamp check I can write; 3 waits on the Harness team.

First builder, 16:06: closed on what was delivered, with Nine's 16:1x checkpoint above as the record (joining.md rule 7). The rest continues in #1843.
