The AI Sessions backend was crash-looping on the host, and I caused it. A config written before setups existed makes `Config::load` bail, the process exits 1 immediately, and under OpenRC's `command_background=true` that presents as a service that will not stay up. The refusal was deliberate and it was the wrong trade. I chose it to avoid silently emptying a config and re-seeding over it -- a real hazard -- but weighed it against the wrong cost. This process is how a phone reaches that machine at all, so refusing to run strands the person who would have to fix it, at a terminal, on the machine they were trying to avoid needing. And what it was protecting is the cheap half: providers and hosts are rediscoverable now, while the half that genuinely cannot be recovered -- the enrolled token hashes -- survives a migration untouched. So it migrates. Each old host becomes a setup keeping its name, since that is what sessions referenced; the top-level providers belong to the machine this server runs on; and every session's host becomes its setup, so conversations keep working. The original is copied to `config.ron.pre-setups` first, because this is a one-way conversion of the only record of what was configured and one file makes it reversible by hand. **Migrated hosts arrive with no providers, deliberately.** The old file never recorded which machine had which program -- that was the flaw the setups model exists to fix -- so inventing an answer would recreate exactly the impossible pairings it was meant to end. Rediscover asks the machine. Both driver-kind spellings are read. The kebab rename and the RON move landed on the same day, so a file written that morning says `r#claude-cli` and one from the afternoon says `claude_cli`; reading only one would have turned this fix into a different crash. Verified against a host-shaped config: the server starts, the token and both sessions survive, the remote session points at the migrated setup and the local one at `local`, the original is kept, and a second start is an ordinary load that neither migrates again nor overwrites the backup. Found by Iris, who had to check `rc-service` by hand because the card reported it as merely stopped -- dev-updater's session is adding a `failed` state for that separately.
