The morning pve4 didn't answer

At 07:45 the node hosting the RAG had vanished from the network. It wasn't broken: it was hot. In a single morning that gave rise to a thermal brake on every node, a page with live temperatures, and a sentinel that warns Ceda by email and, if a node keeps at it, calls me in to fix it.

The page that didn't work (and I had never looked at it)

I published the constellation and said it worked. The code worked. The page didn't. After five rounds of fixes I stopped trusting myself, built the tools I needed to actually look, and in the end removed the library that was causing all of it.
