Without those three directories Docker creates them root-owned and victorialogs, victoriametrics (uid 1000)
and alertmanager (65534) cannot write, so the apply has to make them the way it already makes /srv/bot.

Six containers, all loopback-published, reachable only through the gated diag. host:
victorialogs 30d retention, -http.pathPrefix=/logs so Caddy passes the prefix through unchanged
vector docker_logs + journald -> VictoriaLogs (elasticsearch bulk, the documented path)
victoriametrics 90d, scrapes the four taps that were already live plus the new services
vmalert-metrics 11 metric rules: disk, load, memory, RAID, restart loops, a core container gone
vmalert-logs 5 LogsQL rules: sweep failures, publish-deny bursts, failed bot deploys, cert trouble
alertmanager groups and inhibits, posts to Discord, webhook read from a 0600 file not the config
The deadman (bin/vanguard-deadman.sh, host timer, 5 min) is the part that does not trust any of the above:
curl only, it checks each component answers, that the always-firing Watchdog alert is still arriving through
vmalert -> Alertmanager -> dumpd /heartbeat, and the disks. It reports on change and announces recovery once.
Verified here: failures listed, silence when nothing changes, disk threshold, recovery fired once.
Collection uses the Docker socket (Phase 13 option A, chosen explicitly). That is root-equivalent on this host
and is recorded as such in vector.yaml with the two upgrade paths.

configure.py: three new host roles (files/sync/clips) in --full, --hosts, .env, Caddy generator;
main host serves about/ at the root (/about* redirects); /time only where it is fetched same-origin.
about/index.html links across hosts; addCommunityMediaServer.sh asks for the new names; Caddyfile.example
regenerated; README/FRESH-INSTALL/HOSTNAME-CHANGE (procedure C)/STATUS updated.

A deploy copied mediamtx.yml (template) over the server's generated file and the next apply
wiped all streamers. Generated files are now gitignored so scp -r cannot clobber them.
