Superseded by a feature in compose-homelab-starter, but the standalone job still works if you want just the restore test.

A small, annoying task that was eating time and attention every week. We measured it before touching anything.

One focused change, reproducible, with a guardrail and an obvious way to turn it off. No magic, no vibes.
$ ./run --dry-run

$ ./run --applyThe receipts
Before/after benchmarks, the failure modes we hit, and the tradeoffs we accepted. The repo has the full runbook.
Convinced? The repo is one command away.
