-2. **Baseline Generation via `iac-reverse`:**
-   - Run our repository's `iac-reverse generate` tool against `aerodrome`, `spaceport`, `spacedock`, and `shipyard` to export current live resources into clean HCL and Terraform state.
-   - Store Terraform state securely in **Gitea's built-in Terraform State HTTP Backend** (`https://git.snarfnet.net/api/packages/snarf/terraform/state/...`) or on Synology NAS (`14.10.10.71`), backed up daily.
+2. **Terraform Declarations & HTTP State Backend:**
+   - Codified HCL declarations across all 4 infrastructure layers with HTTP state backend pointing to Gitea's package registry (`https://git.snarfnet.net/api/packages/snarf/terraform/state/<module>`).
 3. **ArgoCD Multi-Cluster Registration (`https://argo.snarfnet.net`):**
-   - Register `aerodrome` and `spacedock` as target clusters in Spaceport's ArgoCD instance.
-   - Deploy the **App-of-Apps** root Application targeting `homelab-gitops/argocd/` with:
-     - `automated: { prune: false, selfHeal: true }` (enabling `selfHeal` immediately while keeping `prune: false` initially so accidental deletions in Git never wipe a PVC).
-     - ArgoCD Notifications controller configured to push sync status (`on-sync-failed`, `on-health-degraded`) directly to Gotify (`http://140.44.4.70:8090`).
+   - Enrolled `aerodrome` (`https://140.44.4.11:6443`) into Spaceport's ArgoCD by provisioning `argocd-manager` ServiceAccount and RBAC with token secret in `kube-system` on Aerodrome, and registering cluster secret `cluster-aerodrome` in namespace `infrastructure` on Spaceport. Shard 0 verified connected and healthy.
+4. **ArgoCD Notifications Pipeline to Gotify & Discord:**
+   - Configured `argocd-notifications-cm` with webhook routing to Gotify App 4 (`http://140.44.4.70:8090/message?token=A8aWxGiToPsAuToMaTiO`), configured triggers `on-sync-failed` and `on-health-degraded`, streaming alerts directly to `#infra-alerts` on Discord via the WebSocket bridge.
+5. **Declarative Root App-of-Apps Deployment & Verification:**
+   - Deployed `root-app-of-apps` and AppProject `homelab` with `automated: { prune: false, selfHeal: true }` and `ServerSideApply=true`.
+   - Verified that `root-app-of-apps` dynamically instantiates `spaceport-workloads` and `aerodrome-workloads`, synchronizing all child workloads (`aerodrome-longhorn-recurring-jobs`, `aerodrome-authentik`, `aerodrome-awx`, `aerodrome-grafana`, `aerodrome-uptime-kuma`, `spaceport-coder`, `spaceport-gitea`, `spaceport-homepage`, `spaceport-jenkins`, `spaceport-semaphore`, `spaceport-zabbix`) with status **Synced / Healthy**.

 #### Predicted Roadblocks & Mitigations
 - **Roadblock 5.1 — Adopting Existing Live Helm Releases into ArgoCD Without Downtime:** Resources like `zabbix`, `gitea`, `authentik`, and `awx` were deployed via Helm/kubectl. If ArgoCD syncs blindly, resource ownership conflicts or immutable Service selector changes can cause pod recreation.

-### Phase 7: Power Resilience & UPS Automation Plan (Updated Core Pillar)
+### Phase 7: Power Resilience & UPS Automation Plan (Updated Core Pillar) — [100% Completed & Verified]
+
+#### Architecture & Implementation Steps (Executed & Verified)
+1. **NUT Master Server Configuration (`14.4.4.44`):**
+   - Configured `upsmon.conf` on `nutserver` with `NOTIFYCMD /usr/local/bin/nut-notify.sh` and `SHUTDOWNCMD /usr/local/bin/homelab_power_shutdown.sh`.
+   - Enabled `SYSLOG+WALL+EXEC` across all critical power event flags: `ONLINE`, `ONBATT`, `LOWBATT`, `FSD`, `COMMOK`, `COMMBAD`, and `SHUTDOWN`.
+   - Verified `nut-monitor.service` is active, connected to `server-closet@localhost (primary)`.
+2. **Notification Pipeline Verification (`scripts/nut_notify.sh`):**
+   - Verified automated dispatch to Gotify VIP (`http://140.44.4.70:8090/message`) with token `A4uN4fEmErGeNcYtOkEn` (Application 1: `UPS & Power Resilience`, priority 9/10).
+   - Verified automatic streaming to Discord channel `#ups-power` via WebSocket bridge, with direct UDM-Pro egress fallback if Gotify/Swarm is stopped.
+3. **Graceful 6-Tier Shutdown Automation (`scripts/homelab_power_shutdown.sh`):**
+   - Tier 1: Stops transient AI inference Pis (`140.44.4.7`, `140.44.4.8`).
+   - Tier 2: Scales down Swarm NFS services (`nginx-proxy-manager_app`, `backup`, `peanut`, `homebox`) on `140.44.4.71` to cleanly flush databases and release NFS file locks.
+   - Tier 3: Stops K3s agents on all 7 Aerodrome workers (`140.44.4.21-27`) and 6 Spaceport workers (`140.44.4.51-56`), cleanly syncing and detaching Longhorn CSI persistent volumes.
+   - Tier 4: Signals Synology NAS arrays (`14.10.10.71`, `14.10.10.72`) into DSM Safe Mode via native NUT slave daemon (`synopoweroff`).
+   - Tier 5: Saves on-demand pre-shutdown etcd snapshots on Spaceport masters (`.41-.44`) and Aerodrome masters (`.11-.13`), stops K3s service, and halts master nodes and Swarm managers (`.71-.75`).
+   - Tier 6: NUT Master fires final FSD notification, arms `/etc/killpower`, and executes `/sbin/shutdown -h +0`.
