docs/PHASE0-PLAN.md:
- Lab topology mirroring production 1:1 - two minimum-shape sites
(console + 2 cockpits) + hub, hub-and-spoke WireGuard over a
host-only "WAN" net with netem as the simulated internet.
- Lab IP conventions (strawman seat map; flagged for alignment with
real bay numbering before Phase 1).
- VM inventory: full 9-VM set and a 5-VM minimum-viable start.
- VM management recommendations: VMware Workstation Pro 17 (free
personal; host is Win11 Home so no Hyper-V) for the first pass,
Proxmox VE on a spare box as the persistent lab / future hub
staging; gold images + linked clones, snapshot-per-experiment
discipline, config-as-code under lab/, one-knob netem sweep script.
- Experiments E1-E9 with pass criteria mapped to the brainstorm's
open questions: routed fabric + console RPC over WAN, broadcast
locality, FS directed join + port matrix, latency cliff table,
WAN-drop behavior, MTU, BT411 cross-subnet egg push, hub host +
stream rehearsal, event-day dry run (SiteConfigMerge gate).
- Risks: MW4-in-VM rendering (physical-host fallback), vPOD fidelity
limits, firewall discipline.
