-# 🔒 Security Architecture
+## 📊 Observability & NOC
 
-CedOps prioritizes **secure observability**.
+The CedOps NOC dashboard monitors the entire VPS stack in real-time.
 
-### No Public Prometheus Exposure
+### Executive Health Panel
+- **Synthos VPS Status** — UP/DOWN state with instant alerting
+- **Public Services Up** — count of healthy endpoints (target: 5/5)
+- **NOC Health Score** — composite platform health percentage
+- **VPS Uptime** — continuous uptime tracking in days
 
-Infrastructure metrics are collected using:
+### VPS Resource Health
+- CPU Usage % — `synthos-node-1` CPU time series
+- Memory Utilization % — real-time memory pressure
+- Disk Used % — current at 27%
+- Network Traffic — RX/TX bandwidth graphs (30s refresh)
 
-**Tailscale private networking**
+### Public Service Availability
 
-Benefits:
+Tracked via **Blackbox Exporter** HTTP probes:
 
-- Encrypted communication
-- Zero Trust access
-- No public metrics exposure
-- Private infrastructure scraping
+| Service | Endpoint | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| cedshomelab | cedshomelab.com | ✅ UP |
+| n8n | n8n.synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
+| cedops | ops.synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
+| paperclip | paperclip.synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
+| synthos-website | synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
 
-### Monitoring Stack
-
-| Tool | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| Prometheus | Metrics collection |
-| Grafana | Visualization |
-| Blackbox Exporter | Uptime checks |
-| Node Exporter | Linux system metrics |
-| Tailscale | Secure networking |
-| Docker | Service deployment |
-| Proxmox | Virtualization |
+### Reliability Metrics
+- HTTP Status Codes per endpoint (all returning `200`)
+- Public Endpoint Response Time (ms) — time series graph
+- SSL Expiry Days — tracked per certificate with warning thresholds

-# 📂 Repository Structure
+## 🔒 Security Architecture
 
-```text
+CedOps is designed with **zero public infrastructure exposure**.
+
+| Control | Implementation |
+|---|---|
+| No open ports | Cloudflare Tunnel handles all ingress |
+| No public Prometheus | Metrics stay private; only Grafana is exposed |
+| SSL everywhere | NPM handles termination for all services |
+| Container isolation | Docker network segmentation via Portainer |
+| Secret management | No secrets in this repo — handled via environment variables |

+## 🤖 AI Agent Roster
+
+All agents run inside **Paperclip** — the AI Agent Orchestration Platform at `paperclip.synthossystems.com`.
+
+| Agent | Role | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Suge** | CTO / Operations (Hermes Agent) — also deployed as SugeBot on Telegram | ✅ Live |
+| **CEO** | Executive decision-making and strategic oversight | ✅ Live |
+| **ClaudeCoder** | Software engineering and code generation | ✅ Live |
+| **Engineer** | Infrastructure and systems engineering | ✅ Live |
+| **Marketing** | Marketing strategy and content | ✅ Live |
+| **Offer Builder Agent** | Sales offer generation and pipeline | ✅ Live |
+| **Research** | Market research and intelligence gathering | ✅ Live |
+| **Sales Agent** | Lead qualification and outreach | ✅ Live |
+
+> **Suge** serves dual duty — the primary Hermes-style ops agent inside Paperclip, and the external-facing **SugeBot** on Telegram for real-time operational commands.
+
+---
+
+## 🖥️ Infrastructure Layer
+
+All services run on a **Hetzner VPS** (`synthos-node-1`) behind Cloudflare Tunnels with zero exposed ports.
+
+| Service | Role | URL |
+|---|---|---|
+| **VPS / Portainer** | Docker container management | Internal |
+| **Nginx Proxy Manager** | Reverse proxy + SSL termination | Internal |
+| **Homepage** | CedOps command center dashboard | `ops.synthossystems.com` |
+| **Synthos Website** | Business-facing website | `synthossystems.com` |
+| **Ced's Home Lab** | Homelab / Portfolio platform | `cedshomelab.com` |
+
+**Traffic Flow:**
+```
+Internet → Cloudflare Edge → Tunnel → Nginx Proxy Manager → Docker Services
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Observability & NOC
+
+The CedOps NOC dashboard monitors the entire VPS stack in real-time.
+
+### Executive Health Panel
+- **Synthos VPS Status** — UP/DOWN state with instant alerting
+- **Public Services Up** — count of healthy endpoints (target: 5/5)
+- **NOC Health Score** — composite platform health percentage
+- **VPS Uptime** — continuous uptime tracking in days
+
+### VPS Resource Health
+- CPU Usage % — `synthos-node-1` CPU time series
+- Memory Utilization % — real-time memory pressure
+- Disk Used % — current at 27%
+- Network Traffic — RX/TX bandwidth graphs (30s refresh)
+
+### Public Service Availability
+
+Tracked via **Blackbox Exporter** HTTP probes:
+
+| Service | Endpoint | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| cedshomelab | cedshomelab.com | ✅ UP |
+| n8n | n8n.synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
+| cedops | ops.synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
+| paperclip | paperclip.synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
+| synthos-website | synthossystems.com | ✅ UP |
+
+### Reliability Metrics
+- HTTP Status Codes per endpoint (all returning `200`)
+- Public Endpoint Response Time (ms) — time series graph
+- SSL Expiry Days — tracked per certificate with warning thresholds
+
+---
+
+## 🔒 Security Architecture
+
+CedOps is designed with **zero public infrastructure exposure**.
+
+| Control | Implementation |
+|---|---|
+| No open ports | Cloudflare Tunnel handles all ingress |
+| No public Prometheus | Metrics stay private; only Grafana is exposed |
+| SSL everywhere | NPM handles termination for all services |
+| Container isolation | Docker network segmentation via Portainer |
+| Secret management | No secrets in this repo — handled via environment variables |

+## 🔮 Roadmap
+
+### V2 Dashboard
+- [ ] Agent activity metrics (Paperclip runs, success rate, token spend)
+- [ ] SugeBot command log panel
+- [ ] Per-agent health monitoring
+- [ ] n8n workflow execution tracking
+- [ ] Telegram alert integration via SugeBot
+
+### Platform Enhancements
