The former live-only stream.waow.tech canary was decommissioned on 2026-07-22. No Stream workload or archive volume remains on the Indigo node, and the hostname has no authoritative DNS record.

The retired canary ran zat.dev/stream build bff8139 in the Indigo k3s cluster with a dedicated 500 GB Hetzner volume. It established useful real-network evidence for TLS, firehose ingestion, verification, public V1/V2 WebSockets, bounded archive serving, metrics, and restart recovery. It did not run historical bootstrap, delete compaction, or failed-repository healing, and its archive was intentionally destroyed during teardown.

The next deployment is a timeboxed full-network experiment on separate infrastructure. experiment/ contains the isolated host, cost gate, automatic destruction watchdog, application bundle, monitoring, and dashboard path. It is pinned to the exact admitted Stream build and uses temporary hostnames; stream.waow.tech remains retired until a full experiment earns a later promotion decision.

Source and the current semantic receipts live in zat.dev/stream, especially:

docs/semantic-parity.md;
docs/bootstrap-semantic-parity.md;
docs/configuration-parity.md; and
docs/full-network-experiment-2026-07.md.

The retired canary automation and the Terraform definition that attached a volume to Indigo have been removed so they cannot be accidentally recreated.
