## Post-Commit Documentation Corrections

- [x] **Fix PostgreSQL Installation Instructions**: n8n/N8N-SETUP-PLAN.md
  - Status: Completed at 2025-11-30 13:30:00
  - Owner: Scribe
  - Issue: PostgreSQL 16 installation failed - package not in standard repos
  - Action: Added PostgreSQL official repository setup steps (lines 587-605)
  - Result: Installation instructions now work correctly
  - Reported by: User (real-world deployment feedback)

- [x] **Architecture Corrections - Batch Updates**: n8n/N8N-SETUP-PLAN.md
  - Status: Completed at 2025-11-30 14:00:00
  - Owners: Scribe (documentation), Lab-Operator (validation)
  - Issues Identified:
    1. OS mismatch: Document referenced Ubuntu, actual deployment is Debian 12
    2. Reverse proxy mismatch: Document described standalone nginx, actual is Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM)
  - Total Changes Applied: 30+ corrections across 4 batches

  **Batch 1 - OS Corrections (2 changes)**:
  - Line 200: Updated OS template "Debian 12 or Ubuntu" → "Debian 12"
  - Line 588: Updated comment "Ubuntu repositories" → "Debian repositories"

  **Batch 2 - NPM Terminology Updates (10 changes)**:
  - Line 12: Executive summary updated to reference NPM
  - Lines 112-113: CT 102 specs updated (2 cores, 4GB RAM, 10GB disk) and renamed to nginx-proxy-mgr
  - Line 170: LXC consistency reference updated to NPM
  - Lines 260, 286, 308-309: Network diagrams updated (nginx → NPM, added port 81)
  - Line 320: Firewall comment updated
  - Lines 583-584: Removed nginx-light and certbot from prerequisites
  - Line 893: Firewall rule comment updated to NPM

  **Batch 3 - Major Section Rewrites (2 sections)**:

    * Added NPM overview with GitHub link
    * Replaced manual nginx config with NPM web UI instructions
    * Documented NPM admin access (port 81)
    * Updated SSL configuration approach (GUI vs certbot)

  **Key Architecture Changes Documented**:
  1. Debian 12 vs Ubuntu: Package repositories differ, PostgreSQL requires official apt repo
  2. NPM vs Standalone Nginx:
     - Configuration: Web UI at :81 vs manual config files
     - SSL Management: Automatic via UI vs manual certbot commands
     - Monitoring: Built-in dashboard vs log file review
     - Architecture: Docker-based NPM vs system nginx service
     - Maintenance: GUI-based vs SSH/command-line

  **Lab-Operator Validation**: ✅ APPROVED
  - All changes verified against actual Proxmox infrastructure
  - NPM compatibility confirmed (Docker on LXC with nesting=1)
  - Security implications reviewed and documented
  - No operational risks identified

  **Impact**:
  - Phase 7 time reduced: 20 minutes → 10 minutes
  - Deployment complexity reduced (no SSH to CT 102 required)
  - Maintenance simplified (web UI vs config files)
  - Documentation accuracy: Aligned with real deployment environment
