kenpat is building a cyberpunk-style live wallpaper on samurai (Windows desktop) using
Rainmeter + Steam Wallpaper Engine (already installed). It should display:
- Homelab Commands quick reference (from obsidian-vault `Homelab Commands/Quick Reference.md`)
- Live system metrics for samurai, T14s/monk, and kscloud1, running at all times

**Why:** Wants an always-on visual dashboard for the KiteStacks homelab while using
the desktop day-to-day.

**How to apply:** Metrics source is Prometheus running on monk (per device-setup
CLAUDE.md). Pull/expose metrics via Prometheus HTTP API (or a small bridge script)
for the Rainmeter skin to consume. See [[project-claude-memory-sync]] for the shared
memory setup that motivated adding this command to the homelab quick reference.

## Architecture findings (2026-06-12)
- Prometheus on monk (`100.85.209.116:9090`) is reachable directly from samurai over
  Tailscale - confirmed via `curl http://100.85.209.116:9090/api/v1/targets`.
- Current scrape jobs: `t14-node` (monk's own node-exporter container) and
  `kscloud1-node` (kscloud1 node-exporter, public IP - do not commit this IP anywhere).
  Config lives at `~/kitestacks-live/docker/prometheus/prometheus.yml` on monk.
- samurai has NO exporter yet - needs windows_exporter installed (port 9182) and a
  new `samurai-node` scrape job targeting `100.74.0.109:9182` added to prometheus.yml.
- Neither Rainmeter nor a windows_exporter is installed on samurai yet.
- Wallpaper Engine IS installed, but at a non-default Steam location:
  `C:\Program Files (x86)\steam2\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine` (note "steam2" dir name).
- monk also runs `kitestacks-metrics-api` (FastAPI/psutil, source at
  `/home/kenpatmonk/kitestacks-live/docker/.../main.py` inside container `/app/main.py`)
  exposing `/api/metrics`, `/api/weather`, `/api/activity` as JSON - a reference
  pattern, but the wallpaper plan uses Prometheus directly as the unified data source
  for all 3 hosts instead.

## SSH access notes
- `ssh monk` now works for general shell (port 22, user kenpatmonk, key id_devman) -
  added as a Host alias in samurai's ~/.ssh/config. Separate from the
  `100.85.209.116` config block used for Forgejo git (port 2222, user git,
  id_ed25519_forgejo) - both entries must coexist, do not collapse them.
