Closes HOST-6, one day after #702 opened it.

Why it did not need to be a question

HOST-6 asked whether /gdata/dm/2BM is readable from tomdet, because the durable-copy design rests on it and nobody had checked. The check turned out to be three read-only SSH commands over the hop CORA's scan probe already uses, so it cost the beamline nothing.

   arcturus  ->  tomdet  ->  /gdata/dm/2BM     readable

What was measured, 2026-08-21

  • Month directories run back to 2020-11
  • An experiment folder carries the documented {data,analysis,system} split
  • The GUP-number glob 2026-08/*-1015116 resolves to exactly one directory

The third is the one the design depends on. The experiment folder is named after the PI, and CORA deliberately holds no surname, so the durable copy has to be found from the proposal number and filename alone. That now has a measured baseline rather than an assumption.

The earlier reading behind HOST-2 covered arcturus, where no tier is visible. This is a different host, not a re-test.

What changed

The facts go beside the tier account in operations.md; the HOST-6 row comes off the questions page, which by its own convention carries only open items.

Docs only. make docs-build passes with --strict.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

HOST-6 went on the page yesterday because the durable-copy design rested
on /gdata/dm/2BM being readable from tomdet and nobody had checked. The
check turned out to be three SSH commands over the hop CORA's scan probe
already uses, so it did not need to cost the beamline anything.

It is readable. Month directories run back to 2020-11, an experiment
folder carries the documented data/analysis/system split, and the
GUP-number glob resolves to exactly one directory, which is the part the
design actually depends on: it means a reader can find the durable copy
without being told the PI surname the folder name carries.

Record it beside the tier account and drop the question. The earlier
reading behind HOST-2 covered arcturus, where no tier is visible, so
this is a different host rather than a re-test.
