# Castopod ops scripts (koopa)

Live stack: `/home/hernani/koopa-castopod/` (podman-compose).  
These scripts live in admin-log and should be **copied** to the host when changed.

## Hang-avoidance rules (learned 2026-07-09)

| Failure mode | What hung | Fix in scripts |
|--------------|-----------|----------------|
| `php spark shield:user activate` | interactive `[y,n]` without TTY → **TypeError / hang** | SQL: `UPDATE cp_users SET active=1` via `cp_activate_users` |
| bare `curl` / image pulls | no deadline → agent waits forever | `curl --connect-timeout` + `--max-time`; `timeout(1)` around `podman-compose pull` |
| health loops | infinite `sleep` | capped `CP_HEALTH_TRIES` + fail |
| Wikimedia/random downloads | slow/blocked CDN | local/known files only; always `--max-time` |
| empty optional file fields | Castopod validates empty transcript/chapters | send real `.srt` / `.json` **or** omit fields carefully |

## Usage (on koopa as `hernani`)

```bash
# copy once
mkdir -p ~/koopa-castopod/bin
cp /path/to/koopa-admin-log/scripts/castopod/{lib.sh,status.sh,up.sh} ~/koopa-castopod/bin/
chmod +x ~/koopa-castopod/bin/*.sh

~/koopa-castopod/bin/status.sh
~/koopa-castopod/bin/up.sh
```

Env overrides: `CP_MAX_TIME`, `CP_PULL_TIMEOUT`, `CP_HEALTH_TRIES`, `CP_BASEURL`.

Passwords stay in `~/koopa-castopod/.env` and `users.env` (mode 600) — never in admin-log.
