- `config/hosts.yaml` - git-versioned host registry

- `config/local-hosts.tsv` - DNS manifest exported for local resolvers

The product name is **Madagascar Local Authority**. The technical service, Unix user, repository path, and environment files still use `host-manager`.

The web UI is OTP-protected for all registry data, downloads, exports, and writes. Automation should consume this repository through git with dedicated read-only keys, not through unauthenticated HTTP.

Work on application code locally. Do not leave changes parked in a dirty working
50
tree; commit small, coherent changes so they cannot be lost during deploy,
51
reset, or context switches.

For live testing, push the committed code to the runtime checkout on jumper:
61

            
62
```bash
63
git push jumper-runtime HEAD:main
64
```
65

            
66
The jumper receive hook validates the Perl scripts, restarts `host-manager`,
67
writes `BUILD`, and checks `/healthz`.
68

            
69
For archival/canonical history, push the same commits to GitPrep:
70

            
71
```bash
72
git push origin main
73
```
74

            
75
`scripts/deploy_to_jumper.sh` remains available as an explicit rsync deploy
76
tool, but the normal development loop is commit plus push: `jumper-runtime` for
77
live testing, `origin`/GitPrep for archive and sharing.

`config/` is not deployed by default because `hosts.yaml`, `local-hosts.tsv`, and `work-orders.yaml` are operational data that may be changed on jumper by the application. Deploy config only when intentionally replacing runtime registry data:
80

            
81
```bash
82
scripts/deploy_to_jumper.sh --include-config
83
```

The default internal domain is `madagascar.xdev.ro`. Short aliases are derived automatically from FQDNs, so `autonas01.madagascar.xdev.ro` also publishes `autonas01` without declaring it separately.

Name removals with operational impact go through a Work Order. A WO records intent first; the operational checklist must be completed before confirmation can update `hosts.yaml`, mark the WO as confirmed, and regenerate `local-hosts.tsv`. Resolver sync remains an explicit operator step.

The local host CA stores private material outside git under `var/ca`. Initialize it on jumper with:
90

            
91
```bash
92
sudo scripts/ca_manager.sh init
93
```
