Two things the 2026.08.23.01 rollout showed.
`edge-pertento-bridge` is down and staying down for some days, and the deploy
agent had no way to know: it spent four attempts and up to sixty seconds apiece
before reporting it unreachable. Correct behaviour against a list that had not
been told, so `docs/servers.md` now has a Deliberately skipped section, with the
host's row kept verbatim inside it so restoring it is one move. A host there is
named as skipped in the report and costs nothing else.
And the procedure said `git pull --ff-only`, which follows `master` rather than
the tag being deployed. A docs commit landed mid-rollout, so every host came up on
`e6f1388a` — one past `deploy/2026.08.23.01` — and "deployed the tag" was true of
none of them. Harmless this time, and it need not have been: it is now fetch plus
`merge --ff-only <tag>`. A host that is AHEAD of the tag is reported, never reset.
Also lands the report itself, which the agent wrote and could not push.
