The Annex runs the same Proxmox VE baseline as the Manor, but as a single standalone host rather than a cluster member. It carries the heavy, I/O-bound work — build pipelines, source forges, public-facing web traffic — where raw throughput matters more than surviving a node failure.

Same framing technique, different posture: where the Manor trades capacity for resilience, the Annex spends it on power. If this box goes down, its rooms go down with it — an accepted trade for the workloads it holds. What runs where is detailed in the Hardware Manifest.

Has anything touched?

If reading this made you want to argue with it, extend it, or notice what's missing, that's the signal to show up.
