# Godstrument — Claude context

Music-instrument web app; hosted at godstrument.pro on the **botchat** VPS (`humanjing@100.71.119.27`, exposed via Cloudflare Tunnel — NOT dealgod, despite earlier notes). App dir `/home/humanjing/godstrument` (not a git checkout). Deploy = rsync git-tracked files only (`--files-from=<(git ls-files)`, never `--delete`, never push `godstrument_users.db`/`auth_secret`/`patches/`) then `sudo -n systemctl restart godstrument`. Origin is Gitea `ssh://git@100.71.119.27:222/monster/Godstrument.git`. See [[godstrument-pro-deploy]].

- **Canon gotcha:** the real spec prose lives in `viz/index.html` (grimoire text around line ~950); `GODSTRUMENT_MANUAL_SOURCE.md` claims to be exhaustive but has drifted before (Earth Echo / Schumann layer was missing). When they disagree, **viz/index.html is truth** — update the manual to match, not the other way.
- Secrets (Cloudflare token etc.): read from `.env`/local files, never from chat. A CF token was pasted in chat once and rolled — don't repeat that.
- First page load after a deploy is slow (cold start) — wait before declaring it broken.
