Use this page when you know what role you are in but do not yet know which document should lead.
Open these in order:
Use this path when you are turning a fresh machine into the appliance or validating that a node is actually ready for public use.
Open these first:
- OPERATOR_DRILL_CARD.md
- maintenance.md
- participant-prompt-card.md
- PRESENCE_SENSING.md before enabling presence sensing
Use this path when you need to recover the machine quickly, check whether intake or playback is paused, remove something from circulation, or help a participant revoke a recording later.
Practical reminder:
- the
/ops/audio monitor proves the current steward browser's local routing - it does not certify the separate kiosk recorder path
- it does not certify the full room playback machine
Open these first:
Use this path when you are changing ingest, retention, playback, steward controls, or deployment-specific behavior and need to know which layer actually owns the decision.
Open these first:
Use this path when you are deciding whether a new behavior belongs in the machine at all, not just whether it can be implemented.
If the machine is already installed and you only need to confirm it is serviceable:
- Run
./scripts/check.shin the repo clone you deploy from. - Run
./scripts/status.sh. - Run
./scripts/doctor.sh. - Open
/ops/. - Confirm
/kiosk/,/room/, and/revoke/are reachable from their intended machines.
