Chunk 12.1

In this chunk, the assistant addressed two critical production issues identified during the CIDgravity deal check loop: a 429 rate-limiting error from the `api.chain.love` Lotus gateway and a repair staging path error where the system tried to create a directory at `/data/repair-staging` on a read-only partition. The user directed switching the Lotus API endpoint to `pac-l-gw.devtty.eu` and placing the repair staging path under `RIBS_DATA`. The assistant updated the default endpoint in `configuration/config.go`, modified `deal_repair.go` to resolve the staging path relative to `RIBS_DATA` if left unset, and committed these changes. The Ansible config (`group_vars/all.yml`) was also updated to reflect the new default gateway. The assistant then rebuilt the binary, updated the environment configuration on both kuri nodes (replacing `api.chain.love` with `pac-l-gw.devtty.eu`), and redeployed the new binaries with a restart. Initial startup logs confirmed the repair workers launched successfully (4 workers using `/data/fgw/repair` as staging path). However, the CIDgravity deal check failed again with a "connection refused" error because the `pac-l-gw.devtty.eu` host was not listening on port 443 (or other tested ports like 1234 and 2346), indicating the gateway service itself is not yet operational at that address. **Key themes:** iterative production debugging, configuration default updates paired with environment overrides, path resolution cleanup for writable storage, and the challenge of verifying external API availability after endpoint migration. The deal check loop remains blocked, now due to the new gateway endpoint being unreachable rather than rate limiting.
