 ## Gotchas
 
+- Guest modules are host-agnostic wiring, while host files own deployment-specific service configuration such as served volumes and host paths.
+  For example, `guests/copyparty.nix` should expose options and translate them into guest mounts/service settings, while `hosts/pikachu/default.nix` chooses `/inbox`, `/media`, and their backing paths.
+- `sops.secrets.<name>.owner` must name a user known on the decrypting host.
+  For guest-only service users, do not set the owner to the guest uid unless the host also declares that user.
+  Use a host-visible owner plus a shared group mode when an identity-mapped guest service can read through its group.
 - Actual Budget's NixOS service runs `actual-server` with `WorkingDirectory = services.actual.settings.dataDir`, and the `actual-server` CLI wrapper sets `ACTUAL_CONFIG_PATH=./config.json` when that current directory contains `config.json`, overriding the NixOS module's generated config path before the server loads configuration.
   When migrating old community-script state to the normal upstream `/data` shape, move or rewrite a copied `/data/config.json` so it cannot shadow the declarative module settings.
 - Subagent completion delivery is non-blocking through immediate spawn, milestone notifications, retained terminal entries, and `subagent_list` or `subagent_result` retrieval.

 - `home.sessionVariables` do **not** reach the Hyprland session, since UWSM does not source `hm-session-vars.sh`.
   The cursor is therefore set through Hyprland's own `env = KEY,VALUE` in `modules/desktop/hyprland/hyprland.nix`, sourced from `config.stylix.cursor`.
   Bibata ships XCursor format only (no `hyprcursor/` dir), rendered through Hyprland's XCursor fallback, so `XCURSOR_*` and `HYPRCURSOR_*` naming the same theme are both safe.
-- `neogaia`, the repo's only host, is a wifi laptop with a btrfs root and no ZFS pools, so it cannot honestly carry `modules.network`, `modules.zfs`, or a networked/pool-mounted guest.
+- `neogaia` is a wifi laptop with a btrfs root and no ZFS pools, so it cannot honestly carry `modules.network`, `modules.zfs`, or a networked/pool-mounted guest.
   Enabling networkd takes over its DNS, its CachyOS `zfs-kernel` build is marked broken, and it has no bridge or pool to attach to.
   Verify these against it ad hoc through `nixosConfigurations.neogaia.extendModules` (forcing a ZFS-capable `boot.kernelPackages` for the zfs case) plus `nix eval` of the derived values, never by committing the enablement.
-  A committed guest therefore leaves `vlan`, `mounts`, and `secrets` unset, and the standing enablement waits for the first wired server host with real storage.
+  Committed networked and pool-mounted guests belong on a wired storage host such as `pikachu`, not on `neogaia`.
 - Herdr key names for shifted punctuation are not interchangeable with the physical base key plus `shift`.
   The tab rename binding must use the produced literal, such as `prefix+<`, rather than `prefix+shift+comma`.
 - Flake-managed Pi extension, prompt, and skill directories may still be written directly for throwaway development or local experiments.

 - The current Steam desktop client is an XWayland application.
   Its CEF windows do not support Ozone and Steam composites them into an SDL surface with X11 extensions, so SDL Wayland selectors do not make the visible client native Wayland.
   Keep fractional scaling sharp with Hyprland's `xwayland.force_zero_scaling` and Steam's own `STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING` instead.
+- AdGuard's LAN wildcard rewrite for `*.alexion.dev` points names at the reverse-proxy guest, including non-HTTP ports.
+  Keep `git.alexion.dev:2022` working by proxying that TCP stream through the reverse-proxy guest to Gitea.
