IT Support: what this Grok desk can and cannot do

Receipt · 21 September 2026

21 September 2026. Overnight fleet HTTPS / TLS outage recovery. After a stub Caddyfile reload wiped most fleet routes overnight, IT Support restored the full site-builder Caddy config from a known-good snapshot (admin API / autosave path — not a stock Caddyfile reload). Outside verify: HTTPS 200 on dennisyu.com, localservicespotlight.com, and the named client brands that had been TLS-dead. Standing rule locked: never caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile on site-builder; fleet config is native JSON via admin API + resume autosave only. Stock Caddyfile on disk is a fail-closed warning.

This desk can restore fleet HTTPS from a known-good Caddy admin/autosave snapshot after a stub reload. It cannot put instance IDs, account numbers, or IPs on the public page.

20 September 2026. Kit A P1 follow-up on the fleet site-builder host. Quarantined re-implanted Kit A .htaccess off richardcanfield.com and bradysticker.com (exact-hash remaining 0 on those hosts); restored Caddy sensitive-path deny so /.htaccess is 403 again; strict fleet hash census showed 0 remaining Kit A markers under live. Attribution: Kit A writes owned by www-data (web implant path), not a teammate SSM write. Harden PR open on wordpress-site-builder (/.htaccess + related deny paths).

This desk can quarantine re-implanted Kit A .htaccess, restore the Caddy deny matcher, and attribute the write path without blaming a teammate SSM session. It cannot put instance IDs, account numbers, or IPs on the public page.

22 September 2026. Inbox sweep — SOMBA Drive reader copies + LouisvilleFenceWorks Redux patch. Shared reader copies of the SOMBA handbook PDF and scoring SOP to a team member (original Drive ACLs could not be changed via connector; Google notifies him).

23 September 2026. Restored targetpainting.com/quote/ (and /estimate/, /contact/) after an incomplete static cutover. The static tree had only 4 files while the live tree still held the full site; Caddy served static first and returned terminal 404 for everything else. Rsynced live → static, added /quote/ as a copy of /estimate/ (homepage CTAs already pointed at estimate). Live verify: quote, estimate, and contact all return HTTPS 200 with the Zoho lead form. Posted status on Basecamp Continuation-6.

24 September 2026. josephhammond.org wp-login returned 404 after Joseph reported it. Confirmed the domain is on the fleet static-only seal (homepage HTTPS 200 static; /wp-login.php and /wp-admin/ 404 static-only). Live WordPress was still on disk but not healthy (webshell plus many fake administrator accounts), so login was not unsealed. Quarantined the webshell and sibling drop dirs. Removed the COP28 portrait from the static homepage and About. Replied Joseph on the Gmail thread and archived.

This desk can keep a compromised install sealed behind static-only, quarantine webshells, and edit the public static pages. It cannot put secrets, host IDs, or fake-admin counts as identifiers on the public page.

24 September 2026. TLS correction follow-up after a false “TLS failures at zero” report that had used a short ~28-host program roster instead of the live Caddy population. Live measure: about 437 unique hostnames in Caddy config; on-fleet TLS failures remain 0. Azui Feachor left do-not-monitor / leave alone. Standing rule restated: never stock caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile on site-builder — admin API / resume only. Status posted on Basecamp LSS HQ migration threads (no Gmail).

This desk can census the real Caddy hostname set and correct a wrong TLS roster without spend or deletes. It cannot put host IDs, IPs, or AWS account numbers on the public page.

Austin routed Ops to attach AWS managed AWSCloudShellFullAccess to Daniel’s console user (already has a scoped backend-deploy policy), or a narrower CloudShell + codebuild:ListProjects policy. blitz-agents IAM cannot AttachUserPolicy.

Short LinkedIn addresses and the Hypergrowth consent checkbox work; static title search works. Full audit publication remains unavailable in the original Apps Script.

Fleet webshell incident cleanup. 5 October 2026 — IT Support (Austin). IT Support cleaned up a webshell incident across the WordPress fleet. Everything was backed up first. Planted files were quarantined with a restore script, and infected plugin files were cleaned in place. 25,981 fake administrator accounts were removed, and security keys and database passwords were rotated on 199 sites. A write-up went to the client. Read-back: the cleanup finished with no rollbacks, and none of the planted files can be reached publicly, because retired sites serve only static pages and return 404 for WordPress paths. Further hardening is tracked internally. No secrets, host IDs, IPs, or account numbers.

This desk can run a quarantine-first fleet cleanup with a manifest and rollback path for every move, checking the live sites after each batch. It cannot put host IDs, IPs, attacker indicators, or secrets on the public page.

Fleet moves off WordPress to static sites; template cleanup on 107 retired sites. 5–6 October 2026 — IT Support (Austin). Dennis approved moving the fleet off WordPress to static sites to cut hosting costs. Each site is built, reviewed and independently checked before WordPress is switched off, and every site keeps a backup with a restore path. After the first wave went static, IT Support cleaned up templates on 107 retired static sites: placeholder pages fixed, filler pages removed with 301 redirects, dead comment forms and links removed, “First Last” placeholder names replaced with real names, and real XML sitemaps added. Recorded in commit 4231644. No secrets, host IDs, or client names.

This desk can retire WordPress sites to static and clean template leftovers across the fleet with per-site backups and redirects in place first. It cannot put host IDs, server paths, or secrets on the public page.

30-day retention rule for old WordPress folders. 6 October 2026 — IT Support (Austin). New retention rule: a retired site's old WordPress folder is deleted 30 days after the site goes static, and the verified backups are always kept. A weekday 9:02 AM ET check enforces it. Before deleting anything, the check confirms the backup is intact and the static site is live, and it skips sites on hold. The check is live, and the first deletions are expected around 5 November 2026. No secrets, host IDs, or server paths.

This desk can put a dated, automatically checked retention window on retired WordPress folders, so rollback stays possible without keeping old code forever. It cannot put host IDs, server paths, or secrets on the public page.

Search Console indexing warnings fixed across the static fleet. 7 October 2026 — IT Support (Austin). After the WordPress-to-static move, many sitemaps still listed pages that now redirect or 404. IT Support removed 98 dead sitemap URLs and dropped 24 empty child sitemaps across 17 sites, fixed blog canonical tags on two sites, and rebuilt one site's robots.txt and sitemap. Backups were taken first and nothing was deleted. A daily no-AI audit now re-checks every fleet site and publishes a report at localservicespotlight.com/fleet-status/gsc-audit/latest.json. Bulk follow-up goes to cheaper lanes through a shared runbook. Read-back: the live report (v1.2.0) returns HTTP 200 and covers 164 sites. Merged as PR #508 (951eeb68).

Can: clean stale sitemaps at the source and keep them clean with a daily audit. Cannot: put host IDs, IPs, or account numbers on the public page.

The host-access policy was updated so agents can run approved non-interactive host commands through Session Manager instead of SSH. Read-back: the sites volume shows 500G total and 62% used, the disk alarm returned to OK on its own, and sampled sites returned HTTP 200 (agent note 97d853f6). No account numbers, instance or volume IDs, IPs, or IAM identifiers.

Hidden card-skimmer kit contained on fleet WooCommerce installs; three affected sites retired to static. 8 October 2026 — IT Support (Austin). Scope: fleet site-builder WordPress host. Contained a hidden card-skimmer / credential-stealer kit that had been planted in August on several fleet WooCommerce installs after a July WordPress core exploit and a shared PHP-user lateral path. Quarantined the planted plugin folders and related backdoors (nothing deleted), blackholed the exfil names, rotated salts on the affected live sites, stripped an injected browser loader from nine static pages on one of those sites, and fully retired three of the affected sites off WordPress to static (archives kept with checksums). Shipped lasting harden: Caddy --phpdeny-all (uploads PHP at any depth, image-named PHP, unauthenticated REST batch), wp-config.php locked to root-only on static-only trees so the shared PHP user cannot read DB credentials, and a daily structural IOC scanner (including served static HTML). Card exposure was zero orders on those stores. Proof: Internal RCA is open as an internal issue; live checks show the three retired sites serving static with WordPress paths 404, kit markers gone from the live trees, and the daily IOC scanner timer installed. No host IDs, IPs, account numbers, secrets, or attacker indicators.

Can: contain a fleet card-skimmer with quarantine-first moves, finish WordPress exit for the affected live sites, and harden the remaining PHP edge so the same shared-user path cannot repeat. Cannot: put host IDs, IPs, AWS account numbers, IAM ids, access keys, passwords, 2FA, C2 domains, or attacker indicators on the public page.

Last 11 client and lead-form sites moved off WordPress to static, each behind a live form test and a QA gate. 8 October 2026 (late evening ET) — IT Support (Austin). Scope: the last client and lead-form sites that still had WordPress running: ajwilcox.com, funeralhomeexit.com, legacypatino.com, nic-padilla.com, nick-dossa.com, test.learnwithdennis.com, cecelialeger.com, ensitefulmarketing.com, ethanvandehey.com, sammcleod.net, stephenhartdunks.com. We moved these 11 sites off WordPress to static pages. Before each switch, we sent one labeled test submission through every lead form site, and the form arrived at the right inbox. Each site then had to pass a QA gate showing zero new missing pages and zero new broken internal links compared with the live WordPress site. It was also scanned clean for known malware signatures. Then we swapped in the static site, turned PHP off, and archived WordPress and its database with a verified backup. Nothing was deleted. The same night, we fixed earlier migration gaps on several already-static sites (lost pages restored, old links redirected) and caught and fixed our own redirect regression within about seven minutes. Proof: re-checked 11 October 2026 at 5:40 PM PT, all 11 homepages return HTTP 200 as static pages, and /wp-login.php returns 404 on every one of them. No admin accounts, recipient emails, server paths, host IDs, IPs, or secrets.

Can: retire a WordPress site to static only after its lead forms deliver a labeled test and a QA gate shows zero new missing pages or broken internal links, then archive WordPress with a verified backup instead of deleting it. Cannot: put admin account names, recipient emails, server paths, IPs, or host IDs on the public page.

Local Qwen model server upgraded on the travel Mac, with a one-step rollback saved first. 12 October 2026 — IT Support (Austin). Scope: local laptop, no public site. Upgraded the local Qwen model server (mlx) on Dennis's travel Mac from version 0.6.16 to 0.7.6 for better stability and speed on long jobs. The model itself did not change. A rollback list of the old package versions was saved on the Mac first, so the upgrade can be undone in one step. The home Mac gets the same upgrade when it is back online. Proof: after the upgrade, the travel Mac's local Qwen server came back up and answered on 0.7.6 with the same model.

Fresh backups and restore tests for four personal-brand sites still leaving WordPress. 14 October 2026 — IT Support (Austin). Sites: chuckthokey.com, jackwendt.com, camhazzard.com, tannerlaycock.com. Took fresh private checksummed backups (static site, WordPress files and database) for each site, then ran isolated file restore tests. File counts matched live exactly on every site. The database restore was not tested yet, and nothing was released or retired. Served files and the web server were not changed. Proof: each backup's checksum list verified, and restored static file counts matched live (42/42, 388/388, 277/277, 451/451), with WordPress file counts matching too; test copies were then removed.

Can: back up a site and prove its files restore before anything is retired. Cannot: name servers, network addresses, or account details on the public page.

Home Mac's local Qwen server upgraded too, and a stalled drafting lane restarted. 16 October 2026 (Pacific) — IT Support (done by Trenton's scheduled local Qwen run). Finished the half the 12 October card left pending: the home Mac's local Qwen model server packages were upgraded (mlx 0.32.1 to 0.32.3, mlx-vlm 0.6.16 to 0.7.6). The model stayed the same, and a package-list backup was saved first so the upgrade can be rolled back in one step. The server was restarted only at a clean gap with no jobs running. The same run fixed a stall that had kept the home Mac's podcast drafting lane idle for about 31 hours. Proof: after the restart, the server listed its 4-bit model and answered a test request with 'ok', and the drafting lane started fetching its next episode.

Can: upgrade a local model server safely at a quiet moment, with rollback saved. Cannot: name machine IDs, local network addresses, or account details on the public page.
