Active household operating platform
Homelab AnalyticsThe household data and decision platform that owns long-lived semantics, scenarios, policies, and approvals. keeps household reporting, planning, simulation, policy, trust, and agent-facing retrieval in one semantic model. Home Assistant is the device-facing partner, not the system of record for household reasoning.
Phase 0 initialized
BoxA contract-first platform scaffold for testing a small reusable service kernel before implementing its runtime. is a contract-first platform scaffold that fixes a small service kernel before runtime convenience can blur its boundaries. Scenario packs stay as overlays, and local validation checks their coherence before a runtime exists.
Guiding claim · Current · Architecture practice
Architectural ambition is delivering the strongest version of a system's purpose with the fewest independently meaningful mechanisms that can become wrong.
Exploratory claim · Current · Organizational systems
A solo operator's tooling keeps adopting controls that look stolen from an organization. The controls are not for headcount; they are for coordination between actors who share neither memory nor judgment, which describes one operator across time as much as it describes a team.
Guiding claim · Current · Architecture practice
A reference architecture is a set of ideas to test, not a target to copy. It can suggest capabilities, controls, and common failure modes; local strategy and evidence decide which parts survive.
Exploratory claim · Current · Organizational systems
Senior analysts rarely start with complete information or a blank strategic canvas. Their job is to produce a recommendation that holds together when other people challenge it; AI can help maintain that reasoning without making the decision.
Guiding claim · Current · Software architecture
homelab-analyticsThe household data and decision platform that owns long-lived semantics, scenarios, policies, and approvals. enforces its named layer seams with pytest. A documented architecture is a request; a tested one is a constraint — and the note now shows a violation failing, plus where the check stops.
Archival claim · Archived · Authentication architecture
Homelab analytics had enough auth surface to accidentally grow a second identity product. The useful decision was to keep identity proof upstream, keep authorization local, and demote local login to a narrow break-glass path.
