 ### Immediate Next Steps

 1. After Seth's next reboot: `ssh mac 'mount | grep auto_smb'` must show the `/Volumes/tank` trigger. If `/Volumes/tank` vanished (boot-time /Volumes cleanup), switch the map to `/tank` via `/etc/synthetic.conf` (`tank` bare line) — needs another reboot.

+2. Seth: Cmd+Shift+G -> `/Volumes/tank`, drag `tank` from the window title into Favorites (checklist). He was told this at 22:40; not yet confirmed done.

 3. Carried: `authorize-mac-key.sh` rerun for bedroom/thinkcentre/seth-pi/pinail/openclaw2; `bedroom`=root confirmation; kitty relaunch; Ableton install then `run.sh --no-tank`; audio interface test.

 ### Potential Gotchas

+- `/Volumes` has the `UF_HIDDEN` flag on every Mac — Finder never shows it when browsing Macintosh HD, and `/System/Volumes` (APFS Data/Preboot/VM) is unrelated. Seth hit exactly this ("I don't even see a /Volumes folder"). Path in: Cmd+Shift+G -> `/Volumes/tank`; in kitty `ls /Volumes/tank`.
+- `open /Volumes/tank` over ssh returned success but no Finder window appeared for Seth. Don't use `open` from ssh as a "show it to Seth" signal; tell him the path instead.
 - The Ableton Live 12 Trial Installer DMG was mounted at `/Volumes/Ableton Live 12 Trial Installer` during this session — Seth is mid-install; don't unmount/eject volumes wholesale.
 - `mount | grep tank` shows TWO lines (autofs trigger + smbfs) when mounted; only the trigger when idle. Both are normal.
 - `sed -i ""` (BSD form) is what works on the Mac even with GNU sed on PATH via gnubin — check `which sed` before scripting sed there.
