amanita-probe — external last-alive from koopa
Why: amanita hard hangs leave no panic; internal HB stops with the box. External ICMP+SSH from koopa distinguishes:
| Pattern | Likely meaning |
|---|---|
| ICMP fail + SSH fail, long gap | hang, power cut, or PSU (shared wall outlet with rabbithole ≠ whole-circuit outage) |
| ICMP ok + SSH fail | kernel/userspace hang, sshd stuck, or vx lock |
| both ok, HB stamp stale vs wall | rare clock skew / forced-cmd path oddity |
| both ok, HB fresh | alive |
Log is hernani-readable on koopa (~/.local/state/amanita-probe/).
SSH key is vx-only on amanita, restricted to koopa LAN IP + forced cat of HB mirror.
Pieces
| Piece | Path |
|---|---|
| Script | scripts/amanita-probe/koopa-amanita-probe.sh → ~/.local/bin/koopa-amanita-probe |
| Timer | configs/systemd/user/koopa-amanita-probe.{service,timer} (~15 s) |
| Key | ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_amanita_probe (hernani on koopa) |
| Log | ~/.local/state/amanita-probe/amanita-probe.log (+ .last / .meta) |
| SSH Host | amanita-probe → vx@192.168.100.6 with that IdentityFile |
Install (koopa as hernani)
Laptop SoT: $HOME/git/admin-logs/local/koopa-admin-log. Live mirror: ~/src/koopa/koopa-admin-log (no git commit on koopa).
# on koopa after syncing the tree:
cd ~/src/koopa/koopa-admin-log
./scripts/amanita-probe/install-amanita-probe.sh --keygen
# copy the printed authorized_keys line → amanita vx (see below)
./scripts/amanita-probe/install-amanita-probe.sh # units + first probe
Linger already yes for hernani → timer survives logout.
amanita vx authorized_keys (one line)

192.168.100.95. - forced command: read-only HB mirror (world-readable on amanita).
- Fingerprint:
SHA256:R2i2nZfI1svR6Ts3DaSw5eZj2fvnGgm1R9PoMFS4Jj0 - hernani on koopa owns the private key and the probe log (live since 2026-09-18).

Verify
# koopa
systemctl --user list-timers koopa-amanita-probe.timer
koopa-amanita-probe status
koopa-amanita-probe show
ssh amanita-probe # should print one HB line, no shell
# gaps after a freeze: look for icmp=fail/ssh=fail with large gap_s=
Uninstall
systemctl --user disable --now koopa-amanita-probe.timer
rm -f ~/.local/bin/koopa-amanita-probe \
~/.config/systemd/user/koopa-amanita-probe.{service,timer}
systemctl --user daemon-reload
# optional: remove key + Host block + vx authorized_keys line
Do not
- Put this key on root authorized_keys.
modprobe ramoopswithout reserved mem (known hard reset 2026-09-16).- Expect this to replace internal HB — both are needed.
