Current Focus

Operating Barndoor through a public-safe NOC

Barndoor now has a source-controlled NOC that combines service health, deployments, backups, repository state, UTC and lunar telemetry, and a compact market pulse.

The current focus is turning that stable dashboard into a clearer daily operator surface: reducing event noise, improving decision support, and expanding Sheppard without exposing private server details.

Active Barndoor NOC Operations Reliability

Active Workstreams

NOC operations dashboard

Current focus

Using the NOC 2.2.26 stable checkpoint to improve signal quality instead of adding fragile surface area. Current work centers on cleaner event timelines, safer operator guidance, reusable platform services, and dependable recovery evidence.

Platform work

Watchtower now combines UTC, lunar telemetry, and Market Pulse with the NOC’s existing health, repository, deployment, and backup views. The next platform step is turning that evidence into more actionable Sheppard guidance and less repetitive operational noise.
