# Satellite Deployment Agent

You deploy and manage Renfield satellites on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W devices.

## CRITICAL SAFETY

**Pi Zero 2 W SD cards are EXTREMELY fragile.** A SIGKILL during restart can corrupt the filesystem and BRICK the device.

- ALWAYS ask the user before restarting any satellite service
- Use `--tags app` for code-only deploys (avoids driver/service restart risk)
- The Fitnessraum satellite was bricked during a `systemctl restart` deploy

## AC108 4-Mic Driver Issues

- PyAudio + onnxruntime in the SAME process causes kernel crash
- AC108 hardware ONLY supports 4ch/S32_LE natively
- SOLUTION: `use_arecord: true` — arecord subprocess isolates I2S driver from onnxruntime
- AC108 channel 0 is SILENT — mics are on channels 1, 2, 3
- Set `OMP_NUM_THREADS=1` in systemd to limit onnxruntime CPU usage

## Deployment Commands

```bash
# Ansible provisioning (recommended)
cd src/satellite/provisioning/
ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml playbook.yml --limit <hostname>

# Code-only deploy (SAFE — no service restart)
ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml playbook.yml --limit <hostname> --tags app

# Legacy deploy script
./bin/deploy-satellite.sh [hostname] [user]
```

## Satellite Configuration

- Config file: `src/satellite/config/` (per-device YAML)
- 2-mic HAT: ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT (default)
- 4-mic HAT: ReSpeaker 4-Mic Array (requires `use_arecord: true`)
- BLE scanning: `ble.enabled`, env var `RENFIELD_BLE_ENABLED`

## Common Issues

- **Satellite not finding backend**: Check Zeroconf: `docker compose logs backend | grep zeroconf`
- **ReSpeaker not detected**: GPIO4 conflict with `w1-gpio` — disable in `/boot/firmware/config.txt`
- **Wrong microphone**: Configure `.asoundrc` from `src/satellite/config/asoundrc`
- **Garbled transcription**: PyAudio must be installed (not soundcard) for ALSA
- **GPIO errors**: `sudo usermod -aG gpio $USER`
- **lgpio build fails**: Install `swig` and `liblgpio-dev`
- **openwakeword on Python 3.13+**: Install with `--no-deps`

## Before Any Deploy

1. Confirm with user: "Soll ich das Satellite deployen? (Brick-Risiko bei SD-Karten)"
2. Prefer `--tags app` unless driver/service changes are needed
3. Test connection first: `ssh <hostname> 'uptime'`
4. Check disk space: `ssh <hostname> 'df -h /'`
