feat(infrastructure): enhance TrueNAS collection with comprehensive Docker/apps support

- Added collect-truenas-apps.sh script for standalone app/container collection
- Enhanced collect-truenas-config.sh with Docker container, image, network, and volume collection
- Fixed JSON format issues (converted newline-delimited JSON to proper arrays using jq/sed)
- Added dynamic SSH user detection (tries root, admin, truenas_admin)
- Implemented file size validation to prevent false success messages
- Added container logs collection (last 500 lines per container)
- Added Docker Compose file extraction from running containers
- Added individual app configs collection from /mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/
- Updated CLAUDE.md to reflect TrueNAS repository scope and strict agent routing rules
- Restored sub-agent definitions (backend-builder, lab-operator, librarian, scribe)
- Added SCRIPT_UPDATES.md with detailed changelog and testing instructions
- Updated .gitignore to exclude Windows Zone.Identifier files

These changes enable complete disaster recovery exports including all Docker/app configurations,
logs, and metadata that were previously missing from TrueNAS infrastructure snapshots.

+# TrueNAS Collection Scripts - Updates Summary
+
+**Date**: 2024-12-16
+**Updated Scripts**:
+- `/home/jramos/truenas/scripts/collect-truenas-config.sh`
+- `/home/jramos/truenas/scripts/collect-truenas-apps.sh`
+
+**Backups Created**:
+- `collect-truenas-config.sh.backup`
+- `collect-truenas-apps.sh.backup`
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Enhanced both TrueNAS collection scripts to properly capture Docker containers and TrueNAS SCALE apps. The scripts now collect comprehensive app/container information that was previously missing from disaster recovery exports.
+
+---
+
+## Changes to `collect-truenas-config.sh`
+
+### 1. Dynamic SSH User Detection (Lines 294-301)
+**Before**: Hardcoded `truenas_admin@` username
+**After**: Auto-detects SSH user by trying `root`, `admin`, and `truenas_admin`
+
+**Benefit**: Works on more TrueNAS configurations without modification
+
+### 2. JSON Format Correction (All Docker API calls)
+**Before**: `--format json` (produces invalid newline-delimited JSON)
+**After**: `--format '{{json .}}' | jq -s '.'` with fallback to `sed` conversion
+
+**Benefit**: Produces valid JSON arrays parseable by `jq` and other tools
+
+### 3. File Size Validation
+**Before**: Logs success even if output files are empty
+**After**: Checks `[[ -s "$file" ]]` before logging success
+
+**Benefit**: Accurate reporting of what was actually collected
+
+### 4. Enhanced Data Collection
+**Added**:
+- Docker containers (JSON + text formats)
+- Docker images
+- Docker networks
+- Docker volumes
+- Docker storage sizes
+
+**Benefit**: Complete Docker infrastructure snapshot
+
+---
+
+## Changes to `collect-truenas-apps.sh`
+
+### 1. JSON Format Correction (Lines 30-73)
+**Before**: `--format json` (invalid newline-delimited JSON)
+**After**: `--format '{{json .}}' | jq -s '.'` with sed fallback
+
+**Applies to**:
+- Docker containers
+- Docker images
+- Docker networks
+- Docker volumes
+- Docker Compose projects
+
+### 2. Container Logs Collection (Lines 128-145) - NEW
+**Collects**: Last 500 lines of logs from each container
+**Output**: `exports/apps/logs/{container-name}.log`
+
+**Benefit**: Troubleshooting information without needing SSH access later
+
+### 3. Docker Compose Files Collection (Lines 147-171) - NEW
+**Collects**: Compose files from containers with `com.docker.compose.project.config_files` label
+**Output**: `configs/apps/compose/{project-name}.yml`
+
+**Benefit**: Reconstruct compose stacks from running containers
+
+### 4. Individual App Configs Collection (Lines 173-198) - NEW
+**Collects**: YAML, JSON, ENV, CONF files from `/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/`
+**Output**: `configs/apps/app_configs/{app-name}/`
+
+**Benefit**: Full TrueNAS app configuration backup
+

+
+## Testing Instructions
+
+### On TrueNAS Server (Direct Collection)
+
+```bash
+# Copy the script to TrueNAS
+scp /home/jramos/truenas/scripts/collect-truenas-apps.sh truenas_admin@192.168.2.150:/tmp/
+
+# SSH to TrueNAS
+ssh truenas_admin@192.168.2.150
+
+# Run the collection script
+bash /tmp/collect-truenas-apps.sh
+
+# Verify JSON validity (if jq installed)
+jq empty /tmp/truenas-apps-export-*/exports/apps/docker-containers.json
+jq empty /tmp/truenas-apps-export-*/exports/apps/docker-images.json
+
+# Copy back to workstation
+# On your workstation:
+scp truenas_admin@192.168.2.150:/tmp/truenas-apps-export-*.tar.gz /home/jramos/truenas/disaster-recovery/
+```
+
+### From WSL (Via SSH)
+
+```bash
+# Set up SSH key authentication first (if not already done)
+ssh-copy-id truenas_admin@192.168.2.150
+
+# Run the collection script
+cd /home/jramos/truenas
+bash scripts/collect-truenas-config.sh
+
+# Check for apps data
+ls -la disaster-recovery/truenas-exports/exports/apps/
+ls -la disaster-recovery/truenas-exports/configs/apps/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Critical Fixes Applied
+
+### 1. **Invalid JSON Bug** (High Priority)
+- **Issue**: Docker commands with `--format json` produce newline-delimited JSON, not arrays
+- **Impact**: Files couldn't be parsed by `jq` or JSON parsers
+- **Fix**: Pipe through `jq -s '.'` or use `sed` to convert to proper JSON arrays
+
+### 2. **Hardcoded SSH User** (Medium Priority)
+- **Issue**: Script assumed `truenas_admin@` user exists
+- **Impact**: Failed on systems with different admin usernames
+- **Fix**: Auto-detect by trying multiple common usernames
+
+### 3. **Empty File False Positives** (Medium Priority)
+- **Issue**: Scripts logged "success" even when output files were empty
+- **Impact**: Misleading collection statistics
+- **Fix**: Added `[[ -s "$file" ]]` size checks
+
+### 4. **Missing Critical Data** (High Priority)
+- **Issue**: No logs, compose files, or individual app configs collected
+- **Impact**: Incomplete disaster recovery information
+- **Fix**: Added three new collection sections
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **SSH Access Required**: For remote collection from WSL, SSH key auth must be configured
+2. **Large Logs**: Container logs are limited to last 500 lines to prevent huge files
+3. **Compose File Detection**: Only works for containers with proper Docker Compose labels
+4. **Sudo Required**: All Docker commands require sudo access on TrueNAS
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Test** the scripts on your TrueNAS server
+2. **Verify** JSON files are valid with `jq`
+3. **Review** collected data for completeness
+4. **Document** the apps inventory (similar to Proxmox VMs/CTs)
+5. **Update** TrueNAS README with new collection capabilities
+
+---
+
+## Your TrueNAS Environment
+
+**Running Containers** (from your sudo docker ps output):
+- **TrueNAS Apps**: Plex, Dockge
+- **Compose Stack (arr-stack)**: Radarr, Sonarr, Bazarr
+- **VPN/Networking**: Gluetun, NordLynx (2x)
+- **Download/Media**: Deluge, Prowlarr, FlareSolverr
+- **Monitoring**: Beszel-agent
+
+The updated scripts will now capture all of these properly!
