+# docker-standalone.sh — Turnstone Docker setup (no Compose)
+#
+# For hosts running Docker (not Podman). The container restarts automatically
+# on boot via Docker's built-in restart policy — no systemd unit needed.
+# Turnstone is a diagnostic log intelligence layer — glean service logs,
+# search by symptom, and view incidents in a lightweight web UI.
+#
+# ── Prerequisites ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+#   1. Clone the repo:
+#        git clone https://git.opensourcesolarpunk.com/Circuit-Forge/turnstone.git ~/turnstone
+#        (or wherever you prefer — update REPO_DIR below)
+#
+#   2. Build the image:
+#        cd ~/turnstone && docker build -t localhost/turnstone:latest .
+#
+#   3. Create data and patterns directories, then copy config files:
+#        mkdir -p ~/turnstone/{data,patterns}
+#        cp ~/turnstone/patterns/default.yaml ~/turnstone/patterns/
+#        cp ~/turnstone/patterns/sources.yaml ~/turnstone/patterns/
+#        # Edit sources.yaml — set log paths that exist on this host.
+#
+#   4. Set any env vars (see sections below), then run this script:
+#        bash ~/turnstone/docker-standalone.sh
+#
+# ── After setup ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+#   The container starts with --restart=unless-stopped so it survives reboots.
+#   To upgrade: git pull && bash ~/turnstone/docker-standalone.sh
+#
+# ── Gleaning logs ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+#   All service logs under /opt are accessible inside the container.
+#   Sources are configured in patterns/sources.yaml (bind-mounted at /patterns/).
+#
+#   To glean all sources (run manually or via cron):
+#
+#     docker exec turnstone python scripts/glean_corpus.py \
+#       --sources /patterns/sources.yaml --db /data/turnstone.db
+#
+#   Example cron (every 15 minutes, add with: crontab -e):
+#     */15 * * * * docker exec turnstone python scripts/glean_corpus.py \
+#       --sources /patterns/sources.yaml --db /data/turnstone.db >> /var/log/turnstone-glean.log 2>&1
+#
+#   To add a new log source: edit patterns/sources.yaml — no restart needed.
+#
+# ── Adding Caddy reverse proxy ────────────────────────────────────────────────
+#   Add to /etc/caddy/Caddyfile on this host:
+#
+#     turnstone.yourdomain.tld {
+#       import protected
+#       reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8534
+#       import cloudflare
+#     }
+#
+#   Then: sudo systemctl reload caddy
+#
+# ── Ports ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+#   Turnstone UI  → http://localhost:8534/turnstone/
+#
+set -euo pipefail
+
+# ── Paths — update to match your clone location ──────────────────────────────
+REPO_DIR="${HOME}/turnstone"
+DATA_DIR="${REPO_DIR}/data"
+PATTERNS_DIR="${REPO_DIR}/patterns"
+HF_CACHE_DIR="${REPO_DIR}/hf-cache"   # persists downloaded ML models across restarts
+
+TZ="${TZ:-America/Los_Angeles}"
+
+# ── Bundle push configuration ────────────────────────────────────────────────
+# Set TURNSTONE_BUNDLE_ENDPOINT to enable the "Send Bundle" button in the
+# Incidents UI:
+#
+#   export TURNSTONE_BUNDLE_ENDPOINT=https://turnstone.circuitforge.tech/turnstone/api/bundles
+#   bash ~/turnstone/docker-standalone.sh
+#
+
+# ── Orchard submission (opt-in telemetry) ────────────────────────────────────
+# Set TURNSTONE_SUBMIT_ENDPOINT to push pattern-matched log entries to a CF
+# receiving instance after each glean run. Only matched entries are sent —
+# no raw log content. Used to build Avocet training data.
+#
+#   export TURNSTONE_SUBMIT_ENDPOINT=https://harvest.circuitforge.tech/daniel
+#   bash ~/turnstone/docker-standalone.sh
+#
+
+# ── Multi-agent diagnose pipeline ────────────────────────────────────────────
+# Enable the 5-stage ML pipeline to get smarter diagnose results.
+# Requires WireGuard connectivity to Heimdall (<YOUR_HOST_IP>) for LLM synthesis.
+#
+# For Daniel's instance (Huginn) — Heimdall's cf-orch via WireGuard:
+#   export GPU_SERVER_URL=http://<YOUR_HOST_IP>:7700
+#   export TURNSTONE_MULTI_AGENT_DIAGNOSE=true
+#   bash ~/turnstone/docker-standalone.sh
+#
+# ML models are downloaded on first diagnose run and cached in HF_CACHE_DIR.
+# First run takes a few minutes (downloading ~400MB of CPU-only models).
+# Subsequent runs are instant (models served from hf-cache/).
+#
+
+# ── Build image from current source ─────────────────────────────────────────
