update-containers kept LOCAL_BUILD, a hand-written list of services whose
images are built on the machine, so it would not try to pull them. The
compose files already say this. A service with a build: stanza names a
local image, and there is nothing in a registry to pull.
images_for now drops the image of any compose service that has a build:
stanza. Those services resolve no images, and the run skips them without a
log line. The list, and the app names it carried, are gone. On the VPS,
--list resolves the same images as before for every other service.
A machine's role is now the interview's first question and the one answer
Panama records. Servers get the same shell minus the screen: core packages,
nvm, Bun, Claude Code and Codex (desktops get Codex too), linger, rootless
ports from 80, firewalld, the nginx-bridge network, and a nightly image
updater that replaced watchtower for cause.
server/containers/ carries junior's 23 compose services -- secrets moved to
per-machine .env files that never enter this public repo, every transformed
compose proven to render byte-identical to what is live. 'panama server'
enables, disables and relinks them; nothing here restarts a running service.
'boot --server' walks a fresh VPS from its root login to a normal install.
Five new contracts pin the secrets rule, the catalog's shape, panama-server's
behavior, the role plumbing, and the dotfile classification.
