 ## Launch blockers
 
 1. Restrict monitoring endpoint exposure.
-   - Prometheus currently listens on `*:9090`.
-   - Grafana currently listens on `*:3000`.
-   - node_exporter currently listens on `*:9100`.
-   - UFW is inactive and nftables policy is accept.
-   - Required fix: bind to loopback/management VLAN only or firewall to trusted admin/monitoring sources.
+   - Prometheus previously listened on `*:9090`.
+   - Grafana previously listened on `*:3000`.
+   - node_exporter previously listened on `*:9100`.
+   - UFW was inactive and nftables policy was accept in the prior audit.
+   - Prometheus no longer scrapes node_exporter or any `:9100` jobs, but listener exposure still needs verification/removal or firewalling.
+   - Required fix: bind Prometheus/Grafana to loopback or management VLAN only, remove/disable any unneeded node_exporter listener, and/or firewall to trusted admin/monitoring sources.
 
-2. Remove or fix remaining stale/static targets.
-   - `alloy-dev-6076` is still hardcoded/down.
-   - `cadvisor`, `10.60.0.11:8081`, is down/no route.
-   - `zerolaghub-nodes`, `10.60.0.19:9100`, is down/connection refused.
-   - Acceptance: remaining down targets are either removed, fixed, or explicitly documented as intentional disabled targets.
-
-3. Install/provision Grafana dashboards.
-   - Dashboard JSON exists under `/etc/zlh-monitor/grafana/dashboards`.
-   - Grafana DB previously had no dashboards installed.
-   - Acceptance: dashboards visible in Grafana and queries return live data.
-
-4. Add API health scrape.
-   - Observed `/health` returns `404 Cannot GET /health`.
+2. Add API health scrape or equivalent application-level health signal.
+   - Observed `/health` previously returned `404 Cannot GET /health`.
    - Acceptance: Prometheus has an API app health target or equivalent application-level health signal.
 
-5. Add launch-debug lifecycle telemetry.
+3. Add launch-debug lifecycle telemetry.
    - Missing/incomplete: `ready`, `connectable`, `operationInProgress`, `operationType`, backup/restore state, code-server state.
    - Acceptance: dashboards or Prometheus queries can answer what a game/dev container is doing and why it is not ready.
 
-6. Add centralized logs.
-   - No Loki, Promtail, or log-ingesting Alloy config found.
+4. Add centralized logs.
+   - No Loki, Promtail, or log-ingesting Alloy config found in prior audit.
    - Acceptance: API, Agent, provisioning, backup/restore, delete/teardown, Velocity/DNS/edge, and discovery-sync logs are queryable from the monitoring surface.
 
-7. Tighten bearer token storage.
+5. Tighten bearer token storage.
    - Token previously appeared in Prometheus YAML, backup configs, and `/etc/zlh-monitor/game-dev-discovery.env`.
    - Acceptance: token stored in tight-permission env file or systemd credentials; not world-readable; not leaked in labels/URLs/logs.
 
-8. Run lifecycle smoke test once remaining blockers are controlled enough.
+6. Run lifecycle smoke test once remaining blockers are controlled enough.
    - Create a game container and/or dev container.
    - Confirm target appears.
    - Delete it.
