## Session Flush: 08:17 AM - March 31, 2026

*   **Cloud Node Initialization:** Mark successfully initiated the creation of the cloud-based Ava node. He purchased a 4GB RAM Ubuntu 24.04 server on Hetzner (Ashburn, VA location) for approximately $10.59/month to serve as a globally accessible, secure intelligence core linked to his Unstoppable Domain.
*   **Initial Server Access:** Successfully guided Mark through his first SSH login (`root@178.156.192.22`) via WSL on Hub1. Overcame a minor Linux terminal quirk where pasted hidden newlines bypassed the mandatory initial password change, and successfully manually reset the root password.
*   **Security Hardening (Absolute Boundary):** Successfully installed Tailscale on the new cloud node. Awaiting Mark's execution of `tailscale up` to authenticate the node to the Zero-Trust Tailnet, effectively locking the server behind the "Absolute Boundary" before installing the OpenClaw architecture.
*   **Pending Tasks:** Broken links in the HQ pages (ADK dashboard) were reported by Mark but explicitly deferred until the cloud hosting setup is fully complete.
