 ### Stage 18 — Prod contour deploy
-Scope: the **production contour** on a remote host over SSH. Deploy by **container export/import**
-(`docker save` → `scp`/ssh → `docker load` → `docker compose up` on the remote), the SSH key + host IP
-in Gitea secrets; **strictly manual** (`workflow_dispatch`) after `development` is merged to `master`
-(the Stage 16 branch model: `feature/* → development → master`, merge gated green). Two-contour config
-uses **`TEST_`/`PROD_` secret/variable prefixes** — Gitea 1.26 has no deployment environments (verified:
-the `environments` API 404s), so a flat prefixed namespace is the convention.
-Reuses the Stage 16 `deploy/docker-compose.yml` as-is, mapping the **`PROD_`** set onto the same
-unprefixed compose vars. **No host caddy on prod**, so the contour's own caddy terminates TLS — set
-`CADDY_SITE_ADDRESS` to the prod domain so caddy does its own ACME (the Caddyfile is already
-parameterised for this; the test contour leaves it `:80` behind the host caddy).
-Open details (re-interview): export/import vs a registry trade-off; prod domain/cert source (ACME vs a
-provided cert) at the contour caddy; prod VPN; rollback.
+Scope: the **production contour** on **two remote hosts** over SSH — main (full stack, `erudit-game.ru`)
+and tg (the bot only). Resolved open details (re-interviewed):
+- **Transport: a registry** (not export/import) — build + push to `docker.iliadenisov.ru`, the hosts pull by tag.
+- **Cert: ACME** at the contour caddy (`CADDY_SITE_ADDRESS=erudit-game.ru www.erudit-game.ru`, no host caddy).
+- **No prod VPN** — the bot host has native Bot API egress (verified `api.telegram.org` → 200).
+- **Rollback** — rolling per-service deploy (least → most dependent), health-gated, auto-rollback to the
+  previous image tag; a maintenance window + consistent `pg_dump` only on a schema migration
+  (expand-contract keeps the auto-rollback image-only; the dump is a manual safety net).
+
+**Strictly manual** (`workflow_dispatch` from `master`, `confirm=deploy`) after `development → master`
+is merged green. `TEST_`/`PROD_` prefixed Gitea secrets/variables (Gitea 1.26 has no deployment
+environments — the `environments` API 404s). Hosts are provisioned by **`deploy/ansible/`** (docker, a
+non-sudo `deploy` user with the CI key, key-only sshd, ufw, fail2ban). The main host is **launch-sized**
+(2 vCPU / 1.9 GiB): `docker-compose.prod.yml` trims the R7 limits (`GOMAXPROCS=2`, smaller caps, 7d
+Prometheus retention) and adds `node_exporter` for host-memory monitoring (launch undersized, resize at
+Selectel reactively). `vpn`+`bot` are gated to a `telegram-local` compose profile (test only); the prod
+bot runs standalone from `docker-compose.bot.yml`. `GATEWAY_ABUSE_BAN_ENABLED=true`.
+
+**Built:** `deploy/ansible/` (both hosts provisioned + verified), the compose split + `node_exporter`,
+`.gitea/workflows/prod-deploy.yaml` + `deploy/prod-deploy.sh`, the full `PROD_` secret/variable set.
+**Remaining (acceptance):** the **first live cutover** — waits on the `erudit-game.ru` DNS delegation
+(`A`/`www` → the main host) that ACME requires; then run the workflow and verify the public site end-to-end.

-| TX | Telegram egress off the main host: split the connector into a home **validator** (Mini App / Login-Widget HMAC, no VPN, no Bot API — so game login no longer depends on Telegram being reachable) and a remote **bot** (Bot API long-poll + `sendMessage`) that holds **no inbound port** and dials the gateway over a reverse **mTLS bot-link** (`pkg/proto/botlink/v1`); the gateway funnels out-of-app push (fire-and-forget, at-most-once) and the backend admin broadcasts (a relay that awaits the bot's ack) down the link. The bot is Telegram-rate-limited; **one bot now**, with seams (a bot registry + `owns_updates` + command ids) for N later; **no webhook** (rejected: one URL per token, adds inbound + a static address). The **unified test contour** runs the split (the bot keeps its VPN sidecar and dials the gateway by its internal name; certs from `deploy/gen-certs.sh`).

The **main** bot gates write access in a channel's linked discussion chat. The chat **allows sending by default** and the bot only restricts (Telegram intersects the chat default with the per-user permission, so a per-user grant cannot exceed a deny-by-default group): it **mutes** a member who is not registered or is admin-suspended or holding a new **`chat_muted`** role, and **un-mutes** an eligible one it had muted, for a member currently in the chat (a `getChatMember` guard, since bots cannot list members). Eligibility = `registered AND NOT suspended AND NOT chat_muted` (the game suspension dominates), resolved once in the backend and reached two ways: the bot's `ResolveChatEligibility` on a `chat_member` event over the existing mTLS bot-link, and a backend `chat_access_changed` event → gateway → `ChatGate` command (emitted on block/unblock, a `chat_muted` change, a first registration, or a temporary-block expiry via a sweeper; idempotent). No schema change — `chat_muted` reuses `account_roles`. | owner ad-hoc | **done** |

+Re-run `ansible/` after a host resize — it is idempotent.
+
+**To roll out:** merge `development → master` (CI green), then run the **`prod-deploy`**
+workflow manually (Gitea → Actions → prod-deploy → run from `master`, input
+`confirm=deploy`). It builds + pushes the images to the registry, ships the
+compose/config/certs/env over SSH, deploys the main host with `prod-deploy.sh` (rolling,
+health-gated, **auto-rollback to the previous tag**), then the bot host, then probes the
+public site. After `master` is green this workflow is the **only** thing that touches
+prod — nothing auto-deploys there.
+
+**Migrations** must be **expand-contract** (backward-compatible; goose is forward-only):
+the automatic rollback is image-only and never restores the DB. A deploy that changes
+`backend/internal/postgres/migrations/` opens a maintenance window — the backend (sole
+writer) is stopped for a consistent `pg_dump` into `/opt/scrabble/dumps` before the new
+backend migrates. **Manual DB restore** (only if a migration was destructive):
+`docker exec -i scrabble-postgres psql -U scrabble -d scrabble -c 'DROP SCHEMA backend CASCADE'`,
+then pipe the dump into the same `psql`, and redeploy the matching old tag.
+
+**bot-link cert rotation:** regenerate (`deploy/gen-certs.sh /tmp/c --force`), reset the
+five `PROD_BOTLINK_*` secrets from `/tmp/c`, and re-run the workflow — both hosts redeploy
+together with the fresh CA.
+
+**Sizing / monitoring:** the main host launches undersized (2 vCPU / 1.9 GiB); the prod

+# Prod host provisioning (Stage 18)
+
+Idempotent Ansible that prepares the two production hosts. It installs Docker, a
+non-sudo `deploy` service account, SSH hardening, a default-deny firewall,
+fail2ban, unattended security upgrades and time sync. It does **not** deploy the
+application — that is `.gitea/workflows/prod-deploy.yaml`'s job, running as the
+`deploy` account this playbook creates.
+
+Hosts are referenced by `~/.ssh/config` aliases (`scrabble-main-ops`,
+`scrabble-tg-ops`), so no IPs or key paths live in the repo.
+
+## Prerequisites (controller)
+
+- `ansible` with the bundled collections (`community.general`, `community.docker`,
+  `ansible.posix`).
+- The two hosts reachable as root via the ssh-config aliases, host keys already
+  accepted into `known_hosts` (`host_key_checking = True`).
+
+## One-time: the CI deploy key
+
+The CI prod-deploy workflow logs into the hosts as `deploy` using a dedicated
+key. Generate it once on the controller, authorize its public half via the
+playbook, and store its private half **only** in the Gitea `PROD_SSH_KEY` secret:
+
+```sh
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -C scrabble-ci-deploy \
+  -f ~/.ssh/scrabble_ci_deploy_ed25519
+# private half -> Gitea secret PROD_SSH_KEY (set via API); never commit it
+```
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+cd deploy/ansible
+ansible-playbook site.yml
+```
+
+The playbook reads the public key from `~/.ssh/scrabble_ci_deploy_ed25519.pub` by
+default; override with `-e deploy_ci_pubkey_path=/path/to/key.pub`. Re-running is
+safe (idempotent) and survives a host resize.
+
+## What each host gets
+
+- **both** (`common`): docker-ce + compose plugin, `daemon.json` (live-restore,
+  10m×3 log rotation), `deploy` user (docker group, no sudo), key-only sshd,
+  `ufw` default-deny incoming + allow SSH, fail2ban sshd jail, unattended
+  upgrades, chrony, `/opt/scrabble/{config,certs,dumps,images}`.
+- **main**: `ufw` opens 80/443/9443; the external `edge` docker network.
+- **tg**: verifies direct `api.telegram.org` egress (the no-VPN assumption).
