-      test alert fires.

+- [x] **Monitors** (#85, done 2026-07-12): a fresh Uptime-Kuma runs on
+      ONE (`kuma.101010.cloud`, `/home/DOCKER/uptime-kuma/`, bound to
+      127.0.0.1:8130 behind Caddy). All four Prod monitors from
+      `deploy/monitoring.md` are live and green (`prod web`,
+      `prod api ready`, `prod api degraded` keyword, `prod collab`
+      via the `/collab/healthz` fallback). Alerting goes to the existing
+      Trinity Matrix room (`!RtztXRBVkQJgUwpGXx`, same channel as the
+      website monitoring, target `@stwaidele:trinity.101010.cloud`); a
+      test DOWN alert was confirmed delivered. Kuma admin login and the
+      Matrix access token live on the host (admin-password.txt); no
+      off-host Kuma yet (a host-total outage won't self-report).
+- [x] **Backups verified on Prod** (#87, done 2026-07-12): the drill's
+      `DRILL_SOURCE_VOLUME` now points at `dorfteich-prod_backups`
+      (commit `a35f713`). An on-demand drill against the fresh Prod set
+      `20260712-183629` restored green — readyz ok, `2 users, 16 pages`
+      (logged on issue #98). Note: the very first Prod backup
+      (`20260712-135349`) predated the wizard and had no users, so a
+      drill needs a backup taken *after* real content exists — trigger
+      "Back up now" once after go-live, as was done here.
