Adds the missing diagnostic + onboarding tools so an agent (AI or
human) handed a fresh lab host can get to "shipping data" without
re-deriving every step from logs.
tools/cis490_doctor.py — one-shot health check that walks the full
stack from the bottom up. Each row is green/yellow/red with an
exact fix command for the red rows. Checks:
- repo: branch, tree-clean, distance from origin/main
- install: /opt/cis490, .venv python, /etc/cis490/{lab-host,receiver}.toml,
/etc/cis490/lab-host.env
- mTLS: /etc/cis490/certs/{wg-ca,lab-host}.{pem,key}, openssl chain verify
- systemd: cis490-{shipper,orchestrator,receiver} active state
- net: receiver.url DNS, TCP reach, mTLS handshake to collector.wg
- vm prereqs: /dev/kvm, qemu-system-x86_64, zstd, alpine-baseline.qcow2,
cidata.iso
- tier3 prereqs: msfrpcd, metasploitable2.qcow2 (warn-level)
- end-to-end: cis490-shipper --ping
Modes: --role {lab-host,receiver}, --json (machine-readable),
--no-tier3 (skip optional checks). Exits non-zero on any red row.
ANSI color (auto-disabled on non-tty / NO_COLOR).
AGENTS.md gains a "How a lab host gets to shipping data" canonical
flow at the top: cert delivery via wg-pki/deploy-cis490-cert.sh →
install-lab-host.sh → cis490-doctor → systemctl enable. Plus an
"on-demand episode" recipe + a "smallest E2E test" snippet for
agents that need to verify the pipe without waiting on the timer.
The strict "cloning the repo by itself does nothing" callout makes
the failure mode mu and elliott-lab hit explicit.
scripts/install-lab-host.sh prints a 5-step banner on first install
that points at cis490_doctor.py + the deploy-cis490-cert.sh flow,
plus an always-printed footer warning that "cloning + running
launchers manually is NOT enough." Same message the AGENTS.md
section reinforces.
Refs spectral/CIS490#8 (the "Tier-2 is shipping in the meantime"
claim that turned out to be untrue because no cis490-shipper
service was running on elliott-lab — exactly the case this
diagnostic tool targets).
