Mystix, home lab troubleshooting, and a dashboard theme switcher

Quiet-ish day, split across a few personal projects and no actual code changes committed anywhere.

Mystix local vs. rebuild Picked back up on the “mystix local” effort, checked where things had been left off, and concluded that this older approach should be considered abandoned in favor of a rebuild. Updated notes/memory to reflect that, ran some baseline scripts to confirm the state of things, and then tore down the now-unneeded local containers.

Separately, kept working on the actual mystix rebuild effort — figuring out next steps, setting up SSH access to the remote host, generating a new SSH keypair (the old one wasn’t turning up), and sorting out whether IP access management was needed. Also worked through getting a “cowork” tool set up to operate on a specific piece of the project: figuring out what folder structure to use locally, whether a repo already existed or needed to be created, and how to sync work back and forth (including the reverse rsync command) once cowork was running.

Home lab Diagnosed why several self-hosted services (dashboard, Jellyfin, and others) weren’t running. Also fixed an authentication quirk where Home Assistant would open without a login prompt from the dashboard shortcut but required a manual login when opened directly as its own app.

Dashboard theming Added a theme switcher to an admin dashboard, with a handful of prebuilt themes based on popular open-source color schemes (Monokai Pro among them).
