Testnet servers are now in virgin 302 state and ready for rebuild once repos are stable. Pre-deployment health 303 check infrastructure is in place to prevent similar issues in the future. 304 305 The ac-dc integration provides a safety net for all future deployments, 306 checking environment health before installation. 307 308 Minor cleanup warnings on testnet001/002 are acceptable - servers are 309 functional and ready for fresh deployment.
