The Obsidian vault at `/Users/csader/Documents/Sader/` has the homelab docs at:

- `4 - Areas/Home/Homelab-2026/` — ACTIVE, canonical documentation
- `4 - Areas/Home/Homelab-New/` — STALE, mostly empty (only `Infrastructure/Docker-Swarm-Cluster/`)
- `4 - Areas/Home/Homelab/` — STALE, old archived content

**Why:** A second vault reorganization moved active docs from Homelab-New into Homelab-2026. Homelab-New and Homelab are kept for archive purposes.

**How to apply:** Always read from and write to `Homelab-2026`. Key files:
- `Homelab-2026/Infrastructure Overview.md` — Service inventory
- `Homelab-2026/Home Assistant Automations.md` — HA automation reference
- `Homelab-2026/Known Issues.md` — Active issues tracker
- `Homelab-2026/Hosts/` — Per-host documentation
- `Homelab-2026/Network/Topology.md` — Network topology
- `Homelab-2026/Archived Docs/` — Old Homelab and Homelab-New archives
