+## Overview
+
+The Lab package is a sophisticated infrastructure management tool designed for home lab environments running NixOS. It provides:
+
+- **Infrastructure Status Monitoring**: Real-time status checking across multiple machines
+- **Deployment Automation**: Safe NixOS configuration deployment with multiple strategies
+- **Health Checking**: Comprehensive system health validation
+- **SSH-based Operations**: Secure remote command execution and file operations
+- **Error Handling**: Robust error reporting and recovery mechanisms
+- **MCP Integration**: Model Context Protocol server for IDE integration
+
+## Background on GNU Guile
+
+### What is GNU Guile?
+
+GNU Guile is the official extension language for the GNU Project and is an implementation of the Scheme programming language. Scheme is a minimalist dialect of Lisp, designed for clarity and elegance.
+
+### Why Guile for Infrastructure Management?
+
+**Advantages over traditional shell scripting:**
+
+1. **Rich Data Structures**: Native support for complex data manipulation with lists, association lists, and records
+2. **Error Handling**: Sophisticated condition system for graceful error recovery
+3. **Modularity**: Built-in module system for organizing large codebases
+4. **Functional Programming**: Immutable data structures and pure functions reduce bugs
+5. **REPL-Driven Development**: Interactive development and debugging capabilities
+6. **Extensibility**: Easy integration with C libraries and external tools
+
+**Scheme Language Features:**
+
+- **S-expressions**: Code as data, enabling powerful metaprogramming
+- **First-class functions**: Functions can be passed as arguments and returned as values
+- **Pattern matching**: Elegant control flow with the `match` macro
+- **Tail call optimization**: Efficient recursive algorithms
+- **Hygienic macros**: Safe code generation and transformation
+
+**Example of Scheme expressiveness:**
+
+```scheme
+;; Traditional imperative approach (pseudo-code)
+machines = get_machines()
+results = []
+for machine in machines:
+    status = check_machine(machine)
+    results.append((machine, status))
+
+;; Functional Scheme approach
+(map (lambda (machine)
+       `(,machine . ,(check-machine machine)))
+     (get-machines))
+```
+
+## Code Architecture
+
+The lab package follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:
+
+```
+packages/lab/
+├── core.scm              # Core infrastructure operations
+├── deployment.scm        # Deployment strategies and execution
+├── machines.scm          # Machine management and discovery
+├── monitoring.scm        # Health checking and status monitoring
+└── utils/
+    ├── config.scm        # Configuration management
+    ├── logging.scm       # Structured logging system
+    └── ssh.scm           # SSH operations and connectivity
+```
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Functional Core, Imperative Shell**: Pure functions for business logic, side effects at boundaries
+2. **Data-Driven Design**: Configuration and machine definitions as data structures
+3. **Composable Operations**: Small, focused functions that can be combined
+4. **Error Boundaries**: Comprehensive error handling with informative messages
+5. **Testable Components**: Functions designed for easy unit testing
+
+## Core Modules
+
+### core.scm - Main Infrastructure Operations
+
+The core module provides the primary interface for infrastructure management:
+
+```scheme
+(define-module (lab core)
+  #:export (get-infrastructure-status
+            check-system-health
+            update-flake
+            validate-environment
+            execute-nixos-rebuild))
+```
+
+#### Key Functions
+
+**`get-infrastructure-status`**
+
+- Retrieves comprehensive status of all machines or a specific machine
+- Returns structured data including connectivity, services, and system metrics
+- Supports both local and remote machine checking
+
+**`check-system-health`**
+
+- Performs comprehensive health checks including:
+  - SSH connectivity testing
+  - Disk space validation (< 90% usage)
+  - System load monitoring (< 5.0 load average)
+  - Critical service status (sshd, etc.)
+  - Network connectivity verification
+
+**`execute-nixos-rebuild`**
+
+- Safe NixOS deployment with comprehensive error handling
+- Supports multiple deployment modes (switch, boot, test)
+- Handles both local and remote deployments
+- Includes dry-run capabilities for testing
+
+#### Code Analysis Example
+
+```scheme
+;; Infrastructure status checking with error handling
+(define (get-infrastructure-status . args)
+  "Get status of all machines or specific machine if provided"
+  (let ((target-machine (if (null? args) #f (car args)))
+        (machines (if (null? args) 
+                     (get-all-machines) 
+                     (list (car args)))))
+    
+    (log-info "Checking infrastructure status...")
+    
+    (map (lambda (machine-name)
+           (let ((start-time (current-time)))
+             (log-debug "Checking ~a..." machine-name)
+             
+             ;; Gather machine information with error isolation
+             (let* ((ssh-config (get-ssh-config machine-name))
+                    (is-local (and ssh-config (assoc-ref ssh-config 'is-local)))
+                    (connection-status (test-ssh-connection machine-name))
+                    (services-status (if connection-status
+                                       (get-machine-services-status machine-name)
+                                       '()))
+                    (system-info (if connection-status
+                                   (get-machine-system-info machine-name)
+                                   #f))
+                    (elapsed (- (current-time) start-time)))
+               
+               ;; Return structured status data
+               `((machine . ,machine-name)
+                 (type . ,(if is-local 'local 'remote))
+                 (connection . ,(if connection-status 'online 'offline))
+                 (services . ,services-status)
+                 (system . ,system-info)
+                 (check-time . ,elapsed)))))
+         machines)))
+```
+
+This code demonstrates several Scheme/Guile idioms:
+
+1. **Optional Arguments**: Using `(args)` with `null?` check for flexible function signatures
+2. **Let Bindings**: Structured variable binding with `let*` for dependent calculations
+3. **Conditional Expressions**: Using `if` expressions for control flow
+4. **Association Lists**: Structured data representation with `assoc-ref`
+5. **Quasiquote/Unquote**: Building structured data with `` `((key . ,value))` syntax
+
+### utils/ssh.scm - SSH Operations
+
+Handles all SSH-related operations with comprehensive error handling:
+
+```scheme
+(define (test-ssh-connection machine-name)
+  (let ((ssh-config (get-ssh-config machine-name)))
+    (if (not ssh-config)
+        (begin
+          (log-error "No SSH configuration found for ~a" machine-name)
+          #f)
+        (if (assoc-ref ssh-config 'is-local)
+            (begin
+              (log-debug "Machine ~a is local, skipping SSH test" machine-name)
+              #t)
+            ;; Remote SSH testing logic
+            (let ((hostname (assoc-ref ssh-config 'hostname))
+                  (ssh-alias (assoc-ref ssh-config 'ssh-alias)))
+              (catch #t
+                (lambda ()
+                  (let* ((test-cmd (if ssh-alias
+                                      (format #f "ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 -o BatchMode=yes ~a echo OK" ssh-alias)
+                                      (format #f "ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 -o BatchMode=yes ~a echo OK" hostname)))
+                         (port (open-pipe* OPEN_READ "/bin/sh" "-c" test-cmd))
+                         (output (get-string-all port))
+                         (status (close-pipe port)))
+                    (zero? status)))
+                (lambda (key . args)
+                  (log-warn "SSH connection test failed for ~a: ~a" machine-name key)
+                  #f)))))))
+```
+
+### utils/config.scm - Configuration Management
+
+Provides structured configuration handling:
+
+```scheme
+(define default-config
+  `((homelab-root . "/home/geir/Home-lab")
+    (machines . ((congenital-optimist 
+                  (type . local)
+                  (hostname . "localhost")
+                  (services . (workstation development)))
+                 (sleeper-service
+                  (type . remote)
+                  (hostname . "sleeper-service.tail807ea.ts.net")
+                  (ssh-alias . "admin-sleeper")
+                  (services . (nfs zfs storage)))
+                 ;; Additional machines...
+                 ))))
+```
+
+### utils/logging.scm - Structured Logging
+
+Comprehensive logging system with color coding and log levels:
+
+```scheme
+;; ANSI color codes for terminal output
+(define color-codes
+  '((reset . "\x1b[0m")
+    (bold . "\x1b[1m")
+    (red . "\x1b[31m")
+    (green . "\x1b[32m")
+    (yellow . "\x1b[33m")
+    (blue . "\x1b[34m")
+    (magenta . "\x1b[35m")
+    (cyan . "\x1b[36m")))
+
+;; Log level hierarchy
+(define log-levels
+  '((debug . 0)
+    (info . 1)
+    (warn . 2)
+    (error . 3)))
+```

+## Development
+
+### Code Style Guidelines
+
+1. **Naming Conventions**:
+   - Use kebab-case for functions and variables
+   - Predicates end with `?` (e.g., `machine-online?`)
+   - Mutating procedures end with `!` (e.g., `set-log-level!`)
+
+2. **Module Organization**:
+   - One module per file
+   - Clear export lists
+   - Minimal external dependencies
+
+3. **Error Handling**:
+   - Use `catch` for exception handling
+   - Provide informative error messages
+   - Log errors with appropriate levels
+
+4. **Documentation**:
+   - Docstrings for all public functions
+   - Inline comments for complex logic
+   - Example usage in comments
+
+### Testing
+
+```scheme
+;; Example test structure
+(use-modules (srfi srfi-64)    ; Testing framework
+             (lab core))
+
+(test-begin "infrastructure-tests")
+
+(test-assert "validate-environment"
+  (validate-environment))
+
+(test-assert "machine-connectivity"
+  (test-ssh-connection "congenital-optimist"))
+
+(test-end "infrastructure-tests")
+```
+
+### REPL-Driven Development
+
+Guile's strength lies in interactive development:
+
+```scheme
+;; Reload modules during development
+scheme@(guile-user)> (reload-module (resolve-module '(lab core)))
+
+;; Test functions interactively
+scheme@(guile-user)> (get-machine-config "sleeper-service")
+
+;; Debug with modified log levels
+scheme@(guile-user)> (set-log-level! 'debug)
+scheme@(guile-user)> (test-ssh-connection "grey-area")
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+### Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
+
+The lab package includes MCP server capabilities for IDE integration, providing:
+
+- **Tools**: Infrastructure management operations

+# K.I.S.S Refactoring Summary
+
+## Applied Principles
+
+### 1. Modularization (Keep It Simple, Keep It Small)
+- **Before**: Large monolithic modules (138+ lines)
+- **After**: Small focused modules (each under 50 lines)
+- **Example**: SSH module split into 5 specialized modules
+
+### 2. Single Responsibility Principle (UNIX Philosophy: Do One Thing Well)
+- **connection-test.scm**: Only SSH connectivity testing
+- **remote-command.scm**: Only remote command execution  
+- **file-copy.scm**: Only file transfer operations
+- **retry.scm**: Only retry logic
+- **context.scm**: Only connection context management
+
+### 3. Functional Programming Patterns
+- **Pure Functions First**: All core logic implemented as pure functions
+- **Immutable Data**: Configuration and data structures remain immutable
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Pure functions separated from side effects
+
+### 4. Function-Level Modularity
+Each module exports both:
+- **Pure functions**: For testing, composition, and functional programming
+- **Impure wrappers**: For convenience and logging
+
+## Module Structure
+
+```

+
+## Benefits Achieved
+
+### 1. Testability
+- Pure functions can be tested in isolation
+- No side effects to mock or manage
+- Clear input/output contracts
+
+### 2. Composability  
+- Small functions can be easily combined
+- Pure functions enable functional composition
+- Reusable building blocks
+
+### 3. Maintainability
+- Single responsibility makes modules easy to understand
+- Changes are localized to specific modules
+- Clear separation between pure and impure code
+
+### 4. Code Reuse
+- Pure functions can be reused across different contexts
+- Both pure and impure versions available
+- Facade modules provide convenient interfaces
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Pure Function Composition
+```scheme
+;; Test connection and get config in one go
+(let ((ssh-config (get-ssh-config-pure config "machine-name")))
+  (if (test-ssh-connection-pure ssh-config)
+      (run-remote-command-pure ssh-config "uptime" '())
+      #f))
+```
+
+### Convenient Impure Wrappers
+```scheme
+;; Same operation with logging and error handling
+(with-ssh-connection "machine-name"
+  (lambda () (run-remote-command "machine-name" "uptime")))
+```
+
+### Functional Pipeline
+```scheme
+;; Pure validation pipeline
+(let* ((config (load-config-from-file "config.json"))
+       (valid? (validate-json-schema config machine-schema))
+       (machines (if valid? (get-all-machines-pure config) '())))
+  machines)
+```
+
+This refactoring transforms the codebase from monolithic modules into a collection of small, focused, composable functions that follow functional programming principles while maintaining practical usability.

+
+## Functional Programming Principles
+
+**Core Philosophy**: Functional programming is about actions, data, and computation - compose small, pure functions to build complex behaviors.
+
+### 1. Pure Functions First
+- Functions should be deterministic and side-effect free when possible
+- Separate pure computation from I/O operations
+- Use immutable data structures as default
+
+```scheme
+;; Good: Pure function
+(define (calculate-deployment-hash config)
+  (sha256 (scm->json-string config)))
+
+;; Better: Separate pure logic from I/O
+(define (deployment-ready? machine-config current-state)
+  (and (eq? (assoc-ref machine-config 'status) 'configured)
+       (eq? (assoc-ref current-state 'connectivity) 'online)))
+
+;; I/O operations separate
+(define (check-machine-deployment machine)
+  (let ((config (load-machine-config machine))
+        (state (probe-machine-state machine)))
+    (deployment-ready? config state)))
+```
+
+### 2. Data-Driven Design
+- Represent configurations and state as data structures
+- Use association lists (alists) and vectors for structured data
+- Leverage Guile's homoiconicity (code as data)
+
+```scheme
+;; Machine configuration as data
+(define machine-specs
+  `((grey-area 
+     (services (ollama jellyfin forgejo))
+     (deployment-method deploy-rs)
+     (backup-schedule weekly))
+    (sleeper-service
+     (services (nfs zfs monitoring))
+     (deployment-method hybrid-update)
+     (backup-schedule daily))))
+
+;; Operations on data
+(define (get-machine-services machine)
+  (assoc-ref (assoc-ref machine-specs machine) 'services))
+
+(define (machines-with-service service)
+  (filter (lambda (machine-spec)
+            (member service (get-machine-services (car machine-spec))))
+          machine-specs))
+```
+
+## Guile-Specific Idioms
+
+### 3. Module Organization
+- Use meaningful module hierarchies
+- Export only necessary public interfaces
+- Group related functionality together
+
+```scheme
+;; File: modules/lab/machines.scm
+(define-module (lab machines)
+  #:use-module (srfi srfi-1)    ; List processing
+  #:use-module (srfi srfi-26)   ; Cut/cute
+  #:use-module (ice-9 match)    ; Pattern matching
+  #:use-module (ssh session)
+  #:export (machine-status
+            deploy-machine
+            list-machines
+            machine-services))
+
+;; File: modules/lab/deployment.scm
+(define-module (lab deployment)
+  #:use-module (lab machines)
+  #:use-module (json)
+  #:export (deploy-rs
+            hybrid-update
+            rollback-deployment))
+```
+
+### 4. Error Handling the Scheme Way
+- Use exceptions for exceptional conditions
+- Return #f or special values for expected failures
+- Provide meaningful error context
+
+```scheme
+;; Use exceptions for programming errors
+(define (deploy-machine machine method)
+  (unless (member machine (list-machines))
+    (throw 'invalid-machine "Unknown machine" machine))
+  (unless (member method '(deploy-rs hybrid-update legacy))
+    (throw 'invalid-method "Unknown deployment method" method))
+  ;; ... deployment logic)
+
+;; Return #f for expected failures
+(define (machine-reachable? machine)
+  (catch #t
+    (lambda ()
+      (ssh-connect machine)
+      #t)
+    (lambda (key . args)
+      #f)))
+
+;; Provide context with failure info
+(define (deployment-result success? machine method details)
+  `((success . ,success?)
+    (machine . ,machine)
+    (method . ,method)
+    (timestamp . ,(current-time))
+    (details . ,details)))
+```
+
+### 5. Higher-Order Functions and Composition
+- Use map, filter, fold for list processing
+- Compose functions to build complex operations
+- Leverage SRFI-1 for advanced list operations
+
+```scheme
+(use-modules (srfi srfi-1))
+
+;; Functional composition
+(define (healthy-machines machines)
+  (filter machine-reachable?
+          (filter (lambda (m) (not (maintenance-mode? m)))
+                  machines)))
+
+;; Map operations across machines
+(define (update-all-machines)
+  (map (lambda (machine)
+         (cons machine (update-machine machine)))
+       (healthy-machines (list-machines))))
+
+;; Fold for aggregation
+(define (deployment-summary results)
+  (fold (lambda (result acc)
+          (if (assoc-ref result 'success)
+              (cons 'successful (1+ (assoc-ref acc 'successful)))
+              (cons 'failed (1+ (assoc-ref acc 'failed)))))
+        '((successful . 0) (failed . 0))
+        results))
+```
+
+### 6. Pattern Matching for Control Flow
+- Use `match` for destructuring and dispatch
+- Pattern match on data structures
+- Cleaner than nested if/cond statements
+
+```scheme
+(use-modules (ice-9 match))
+
+(define (handle-deployment-event event)
+  (match event
+    (('start machine method)
+     (log-info "Starting deployment of ~a using ~a" machine method))
+    
+    (('progress machine percent)
+     (update-progress-bar machine percent))
+    
+    (('success machine result)
+     (log-success "Deployment completed: ~a" machine)
+     (notify-success machine result))
+    
+    (('error machine error-msg)
+     (log-error "Deployment failed: ~a - ~a" machine error-msg)
+     (initiate-rollback machine))
+    
+    (_ (log-warning "Unknown event: ~a" event))))
+
+;; Pattern matching for configuration parsing
+(define (parse-machine-config config-sexp)
+  (match config-sexp
+    (('machine name ('services services ...) ('options options ...))
+     `((name . ,name)
+       (services . ,services)
+       (options . ,(alist->hash-table options))))
+    
+    (_ (throw 'invalid-config "Malformed machine config" config-sexp))))
+```
+
+### 7. REPL-Driven Development
+- Design for interactive development
+- Provide introspection functions
+- Make state queryable and modifiable
+
+```scheme
+;; REPL helpers for development
+(define (debug-machine-state machine)
+  "Display comprehensive machine state for debugging"
+  (format #t "Machine: ~a~%" machine)
+  (format #t "Status: ~a~%" (machine-status machine))
+  (format #t "Services: ~a~%" (machine-services machine))
+  (format #t "Last deployment: ~a~%" (last-deployment machine))
+  (format #t "Reachable: ~a~%" (machine-reachable? machine)))
+
+;; Interactive deployment with confirmation
+(define (interactive-deploy machine)
+  (let ((current-config (get-machine-config machine)))
+    (display-config current-config)
+    (when (yes-or-no? "Proceed with deployment?")
+      (deploy-machine machine 'deploy-rs))))
+
+;; State introspection
+(define (lab-status)
+  `((total-machines . ,(length (list-machines)))
+    (reachable . ,(length (filter machine-reachable? (list-machines))))
+    (services-running . ,(total-running-services))
+    (pending-deployments . ,(length (pending-deployments)))))
+```
+
+### 8. Concurrency with Fibers
+- Use fibers for concurrent operations
+- Non-blocking I/O for better performance
+- Coordinate parallel deployments safely
+
+```scheme
+(use-modules (fibers) (fibers channels))
+
+;; Concurrent machine checking
+(define (check-all-machines-concurrent machines)
+  (run-fibers
+    (lambda ()
+      (let ((results-channel (make-channel)))
+        ;; Spawn fiber for each machine
+        (for-each (lambda (machine)
+                    (spawn-fiber
+                      (lambda ()
+                        (let ((status (check-machine-status machine)))
+                          (put-message results-channel 
+                                     (cons machine status))))))
+                  machines)
+        
+        ;; Collect results
+        (let loop ((remaining (length machines))
+                   (results '()))
+          (if (zero? remaining)
+              results
+              (loop (1- remaining)
+                    (cons (get-message results-channel) results))))))))
+
+;; Parallel deployment with coordination
+(define (deploy-machines-parallel machines)
+  (run-fibers
+    (lambda ()
+      (let ((deployment-channel (make-channel))
+            (coordinator (spawn-fiber (deployment-coordinator deployment-channel))))
+        (par-map (lambda (machine)
+                   (deploy-with-coordination machine deployment-channel))
+                 machines)))))
+```
+
+### 9. MCP Server Implementation Patterns
+- Structured message handling
+- Capability-based tool organization
+- Resource management with caching
+
+```scheme
+;; MCP message dispatch
+(define (handle-mcp-request request)
+  (match (json-ref request "method")
+    ("tools/list" 
+     (mcp-tools-list))
+    
+    ("tools/call"
+     (let ((tool (json-ref request "params" "name"))
+           (args (json-ref request "params" "arguments")))
+       (call-lab-tool tool args)))
+    
+    ("resources/list"
+     (mcp-resources-list))
+    
+    ("resources/read"
+     (let ((uri (json-ref request "params" "uri")))
+       (read-lab-resource uri)))
+    
+    (method
+     (mcp-error -32601 "Method not found" method))))
+
+;; Tool capability definition
+(define lab-tools
+  `((deploy-machine
+     (description . "Deploy configuration to a specific machine")
+     (inputSchema . ,(json-schema
+                      `((type . "object")
+                        (properties . ((machine (type . "string"))
+                                     (method (type . "string") 
+                                            (enum . ("deploy-rs" "hybrid-update")))))
+                        (required . ("machine")))))
+     (handler . ,deploy-machine-tool))
+    
+    (check-status
+     (description . "Check machine status and connectivity")
+     (inputSchema . ,(json-schema
+                      `((type . "object")
+                        (properties . ((machines (type . "array")
+                                                (items (type . "string"))))))))
+     (handler . ,check-status-tool))))
+```
+
+### 10. Configuration and Environment
+- Use parameters for configuration
+- Environment-aware defaults
+- Validate configuration on startup
+
+```scheme
+;; Configuration parameters
+(define lab-config-dir 
+  (make-parameter (or (getenv "LAB_CONFIG_DIR") 
+                      "/etc/lab-tool")))
+
+(define deployment-timeout
+  (make-parameter (string->number (or (getenv "DEPLOYMENT_TIMEOUT") "300"))))
+
+(define ssh-key-path
+  (make-parameter (or (getenv "LAB_SSH_KEY")
+                      (string-append (getenv "HOME") "/.ssh/lab_key"))))
+
+;; Configuration validation
+(define (validate-lab-config)
+  (unless (file-exists? (lab-config-dir))
+    (throw 'config-error "Lab config directory not found" (lab-config-dir)))
+  
+  (unless (file-exists? (ssh-key-path))
+    (throw 'config-error "SSH key not found" (ssh-key-path)))
+  
+  (unless (> (deployment-timeout) 0)
+    (throw 'config-error "Invalid deployment timeout" (deployment-timeout))))
+
+;; Initialize with validation
+(define (init-lab-tool)
+  (validate-lab-config)
+  (load-machine-configurations)
+  (initialize-ssh-agent)
+  (setup-logging))
+```
+
+## Code Style Guidelines
+
+### 11. Naming Conventions
+- Use kebab-case for variables and functions
+- Predicates end with `?`
+- Mutating procedures end with `!`
+- Constants in ALL-CAPS with hyphens
+
+```scheme
+;; Good naming
+(define DEFAULT-SSH-PORT 22)
+(define machine-deployment-status ...)
+(define (machine-reachable? machine) ...)
+(define (update-machine-config! machine config) ...)
+
+;; Avoid
+(define defaultSSHPort 22)           ; camelCase
+(define machine_status ...)          ; snake_case
+(define (is-machine-reachable ...) ; unnecessary 'is-'
+```
+
+### 12. Documentation and Comments
+- Document module purposes and exports
+- Use docstrings for complex functions
+- Comment the "why", not the "what"
+
+```scheme
+(define (deploy-machine machine method)
+  "Deploy configuration to MACHINE using METHOD.
+   
+   Returns a deployment result alist with success status, timing,
+   and any error messages. May throw exceptions for invalid inputs."
+  
+  ;; Validate inputs early to fail fast
+  (validate-machine machine)
+  (validate-deployment-method method)
+  
+  ;; Use atomic operations to prevent partial deployments
+  (call-with-deployment-lock machine
+    (lambda ()
+      (let ((start-time (current-time)))
+        ;; ... deployment logic
+        ))))
+```
+
+### 13. Testing Approach
+- Write tests for pure functions first
+- Mock I/O operations
+- Use SRFI-64 testing framework
+
+```scheme
+(use-modules (srfi srfi-64))
+
+(test-begin "machine-configuration")
+
+(test-equal "machine services extraction"
+  '(ollama jellyfin forgejo)
+  (get-machine-services 'grey-area))
+
+(test-assert "deployment readiness check"
+  (deployment-ready? 
+    '((status . configured) (health . good))
+    '((connectivity . online) (load . normal))))
+
+(test-error "invalid machine throws exception"
+  'invalid-machine
+  (deploy-machine 'non-existent-machine 'deploy-rs))
+
+(test-end "machine-configuration")
+```
+
+## Project Structure Best Practices
+
+### 14. Module Organization
+```
+modules/
+├── lab/
+│   ├── core.scm          ; Core data structures and utilities
+│   ├── machines.scm      ; Machine management

+```
+
+### 15. Build and Development Workflow
+- Use Guile's module compilation
+- Leverage REPL for iterative development
+- Provide development/production configurations
+
+```scheme
+;; Development helpers in separate module
+(define-module (lab dev)
+  #:use-module (lab core)
+  #:export (reload-config
+            reset-state
+            dev-deploy))
+
+;; Hot-reload for development
+(define (reload-config)
+  (reload-module (resolve-module '(lab config)))
+  (init-lab-tool))
+
+;; Safe deployment for development
+(define (dev-deploy machine)
+  (if (eq? (current-environment) 'development)
+      (deploy-machine machine 'deploy-rs)
+      (error "dev-deploy only available in development mode")))
+```
+
+## VS Code and GitHub Copilot Integration
+
+### 16. MCP Client Integration with VS Code
+- Implement MCP client in VS Code extension
+- Bridge home lab context to Copilot
+- Provide real-time infrastructure state
+
+```typescript
+// VS Code extension structure for MCP integration
+// File: vscode-extension/src/extension.ts
+import * as vscode from 'vscode';
+import { MCPClient } from './mcp-client';
+
+export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
+    const mcpClient = new MCPClient('stdio', {
+        command: 'guile',
+        args: ['-c', '(use-modules (mcp server)) (run-mcp-server)']
+    });
+
+    // Register commands for home lab operations
+    const deployCommand = vscode.commands.registerCommand(
+        'homelab.deploy', 
+        async (machine: string) => {
+            const result = await mcpClient.callTool('deploy-machine', {
+                machine: machine,
+                method: 'deploy-rs'
+            });
+            vscode.window.showInformationMessage(
+                `Deployment ${result.success ? 'succeeded' : 'failed'}`
+            );
+        }
+    );
+
+    // Provide context to Copilot through workspace state
+    const statusProvider = new HomeLab StatusProvider(mcpClient);
+    context.subscriptions.push(
+        vscode.workspace.registerTextDocumentContentProvider(
+            'homelab', statusProvider
+        )
+    );
+
+    context.subscriptions.push(deployCommand);
+}
+
+class HomeLabStatusProvider implements vscode.TextDocumentContentProvider {
+    constructor(private mcpClient: MCPClient) {}
+
+    async provideTextDocumentContent(uri: vscode.Uri): Promise<string> {
+        // Fetch current lab state for Copilot context
+        const resources = await this.mcpClient.listResources();
+        const status = await this.mcpClient.readResource('machines://status/all');
+        
+        return `# Home Lab Status
+Current Infrastructure State:
+${JSON.stringify(status, null, 2)}
+
+Available Resources:
+${resources.map(r => `- ${r.uri}: ${r.description}`).join('\n')}
+`;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 17. MCP Server Configuration for IDE Integration

+# Replacing Bash with Guile Scheme for Home Lab Tools
+
+This document outlines a proposal to migrate the `home-lab-tools` script from Bash to GNU Guile Scheme. This change aims to address the increasing complexity of the script and leverage the benefits of a more powerful programming language.
+
+## 1. Introduction: Why Guile Scheme?
+
+GNU Guile is the official extension language for the GNU Project. It is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, a dialect of Lisp. Using Guile for scripting offers several advantages over Bash, especially as scripts grow in size and complexity.
+
+Key reasons for considering Guile:
+
+* **Expressiveness and Power:** Scheme is a full-fledged programming language with features like first-class functions, macros, and a rich standard library. This allows for more elegant and maintainable solutions to complex problems.
+* **Better Error Handling:** Guile provides robust error handling mechanisms (conditions and handlers) that are more sophisticated than Bash's `set -e` and trap.
+* **Modularity:** Guile supports modules, making it easier to organize code into reusable components.
+* **Data Manipulation:** Scheme excels at handling structured data, which can be beneficial for managing configurations or parsing output from commands.
+* **Readability (for Lisp programmers):** While Lisp syntax can be initially unfamiliar, it can lead to very clear and concise code once learned.
+* **Interoperability:** Guile can easily call external programs and libraries, and can be extended with C code if needed.
+
+## 2. Advantages over Bash for `home-lab-tools`
+
+Migrating `home-lab-tools` from Bash to Guile offers specific benefits:
+
+* **Improved Logic Handling:** Complex conditional logic, loops, and function definitions are more naturally expressed in Guile. The current Bash script uses case statements and string comparisons extensively, which can become unwieldy.
+* **Structured Data Management:** Machine definitions, deployment modes, and status information could be represented as Scheme data structures (lists, association lists, records), making them easier to manage and query.
+* **Enhanced Error Reporting:** More descriptive error messages and better control over script termination in case of failures.
+* **Code Reusability:** Functions for common tasks (e.g., SSHing to a machine, running `nixos-rebuild`) can be more cleanly defined and reused.
+* **Easier Testing:** Guile's nature as a programming language makes it more amenable to unit testing individual functions or modules.
+* **Future Extensibility:** Adding new commands, machines, or features will be simpler and less error-prone in a more structured language.
+
+## 3. Setting up Guile
+
+Guile is often available through system package managers. On NixOS, it can be added to your environment or system configuration.
+
+```nix
+# Example: Adding Guile to a Nix shell
+nix-shell -p guile
+```
+
+A Guile script typically starts with a shebang line:
+
+```scheme
+#!/usr/bin/env guile
+!#
+```
+
+The `!#` at the end is a Guile-specific convention that allows the script to be both executable and loadable into a Guile REPL.
+
+## 4. Basic Guile Scripting Concepts
+
+* **S-expressions:** Code is written using S-expressions (Symbolic Expressions), which are lists enclosed in parentheses, e.g., `(function arg1 arg2)`.
+* **Definitions:** `(define variable value)` and `(define (function-name arg1 arg2) ...body...)`.
+* **Procedures (Functions):** Core of Guile programming.
+* **Control Flow:** `(if condition then-expr else-expr)`, `(cond (test1 expr1) (test2 expr2) ... (else else-expr))`, `(case ...)`
+* **Modules:** `(use-modules (ice-9 popen))` for using libraries.
+
+## 5. Interacting with the System
+
+Guile provides modules for system interaction:
+
+* **(ice-9 popen):** For running external commands and capturing their output (similar to backticks or `$(...)` in Bash).
+  * `open-pipe* command mode`: Opens a pipe to a command.
+  * `get-string-all port`: Reads all output from a port.
+* **(ice-9 rdelim):** For reading lines from ports.
+* **(ice-9 filesys):** For file system operations (checking existence, deleting, etc.).
+  * `file-exists? path`
+  * `delete-file path`
+* **(srfi srfi-1):** List processing utilities.
+* **(srfi srfi-26):** `cut` for partial application, useful for creating specialized functions.
+* **Environment Variables:** `(getenv "VAR_NAME")`, `(setenv "VAR_NAME" "value")`.
+
+## Example: Running a command**
+
+```scheme
+(use-modules (ice-9 popen))
+
+(define (run-command . args)
+  (let* ((cmd (string-join args " "))
+         (port (open-pipe* cmd OPEN_READ)))
+    (let ((output (get-string-all port)))
+      (close-pipe port)
+      output)))
+
+(display (run-command "echo" "Hello from Guile"))
+(newline)
+```
+
+## 6. Error Handling
+
+Guile uses a condition system for error handling.
+
+* `catch`: Allows you to catch specific types of errors.
+* `throw`: Raises an error.
+
+```scheme
+(use-modules (ice-9 exceptions))
+
+(catch #t
+  (lambda ()
+    (display "Trying something that might fail...
+")
+    ;; Example: Force an error
+    (if #t (error "Something went wrong!"))
+    (display "This won't be printed if an error occurs above.
+"))
+  (lambda (key . args)
+    (format (current-error-port) "Caught an error: ~a - Args: ~a
+" key args)
+    #f)) ; Return value indicating an error was caught
+```
+
+For `home-lab-tools`, this means we can provide more specific feedback when a deployment fails or a machine is unreachable.
+
+## 7. Modularity and Code Organization
+
+Guile's module system allows splitting the code into logical units. For `home-lab-tools`, we could have modules for:
+
+* `lab-config`: Machine definitions, paths.
+* `lab-deploy`: Functions related to deploying configurations.
+* `lab-ssh`: SSH interaction utilities.
+* `lab-status`: Functions for checking machine status.
+* `lab-utils`: General helper functions, logging.
+
+**Example module structure:**
+
+```scheme
+;; file: lab-utils.scm
+(define-module (lab utils)
+  #:export (log success warn error))
+
+(define blue "")
+(define nc "")
+
+(define (log msg)
+  (format #t "~a[lab]~a ~a
+" blue nc msg))
+;; ... other logging functions
+```
+
+```scheme
+;; file: main-lab-script.scm
+#!/usr/bin/env guile
+!#
+(use-modules (lab utils) (ice-9 popen))
+
+(log "Starting lab script...")
+;; ... rest of the script
+```
+
+## 8. Example: Rewriting a Small Part of `home-lab-tools.nix` (Conceptual)
+
+Let's consider the `log` function and a simplified `deploy_machine` for local deployment.
+
+**Current Bash:**
+
+```bash
+BLUE=''
+NC='' # No Color
+
+log() {
+  echo -e "''${BLUE}[lab]''${NC} $1"
+}
+
+deploy_machine() {
+  local machine="$1"
+  # ...
+  if [[ "$machine" == "congenital-optimist" ]]; then
+    log "Deploying $machine (mode: $mode) locally"
+    sudo nixos-rebuild $mode --flake "$HOMELAB_ROOT#$machine"
+  fi
+  # ...
+}
+```
+
+**Conceptual Guile Scheme:**
+
+```scheme
+;; main-lab-script.scm
+#!/usr/bin/env guile
+!#
+
+(use-modules (ice-9 popen)
+             (ice-9 rdelim)
+             (ice-9 pretty-print)
+             (ice-9 exceptions)
+             (srfi srfi-1)) ;; For list utilities like `string-join`
+
+;; Configuration (could be in a separate module)
+(define homelab-root "/home/geir/Home-lab")
+
+;; Color Definitions
+(define RED "")
+(define GREEN "")
+(define YELLOW "")
+(define BLUE "")
+(define NC "")
+
+;; Logging functions
+(define (log level-color level-name message)
+  (format #t "~a[~a]~a ~a
+" level-color level-name NC message))

+(define (info . messages)

+
+(define (err . messages)

+  (exit 1)) ;; Exit on error
+
+;; Function to run shell commands and handle output/errors
+(define (run-shell-command . command-parts)
+  (let ((command-string (string-join command-parts " ")))
+    (info "Executing: " command-string)
+    (let ((pipe (open-pipe* command-string OPEN_READ)))
+      (let loop ((lines '()))
+        (let ((line (read-line pipe)))
+          (if (eof-object? line)
+              (begin
+                (close-pipe pipe)
+                (reverse lines)) ;; Return lines in order
+              (begin
+                (display line) (newline) ;; Display live output
+                (loop (cons line lines)))))))
+    ;; TODO: Add proper error checking based on exit status of the command
+    ;; For now, we assume success if open-pipe* doesn't fail.
+    ;; A more robust solution would check `close-pipe` status or use `system*`.
+    ))
+
+;; Simplified deploy_machine
+(define (deploy-machine machine mode)
+  (info "Deploying " machine " (mode: " mode ")")
+  (cond
+    ((string=? machine "congenital-optimist")
+     (info "Deploying " machine " locally")
+     (catch #t
+       (lambda ()
+         (run-shell-command "sudo" "nixos-rebuild" mode "--flake" (string-append homelab-root "#" machine))
+         (success "Successfully deployed " machine))
+       (lambda (key . args)
+         (err "Failed to deploy " machine ". Error: " key " Args: " args))))
+    ;; Add other machines here
+    (else
+     (err "Unknown machine: " machine))))
+
+;; Main script logic (parsing arguments, calling functions)
+(define (main args)
+  (if (< (length args) 3)
+      (begin
+        (err "Usage: <script> deploy <machine> [mode]")
+        (exit 1))
+      (let ((command (cadr args))
+            (machine (caddr args))
+            (mode (if (> (length args) 3) (cadddr args) "boot")))
+        (cond
+          ((string=? command "deploy")
+           (deploy-machine machine mode))
+          ;; Add other commands like "status", "update"
+          (else
+           (err "Unknown command: " command))))))
+
+;; Run the main function with command-line arguments
+;; (cdr args) to skip the script name itself
+(main (program-arguments))
+```
+
+## 9. Creating Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs) with Guile-Ncurses
+
+For more interactive command-line tools, Guile Scheme can be used to create Text User Interfaces (TUIs). The primary library for this is `guile-ncurses`.
+
+**Guile-Ncurses** is a GNU project that provides Scheme bindings for the ncurses library, including its components for forms, panels, and menus. This allows you to build sophisticated text-based interfaces directly in Guile.
+
+**Key Features:**
+
+* **Windowing:** Create and manage multiple windows on the terminal.
+* **Input Handling:** Process keyboard input, including special keys.
+* **Text Attributes:** Control colors, bolding, underlining, and other text styles.
+* **Forms, Panels, Menus:** Higher-level components for building complex interfaces.
+
+**Getting Started with Guile-Ncurses:**
+
+1. **Installation:** `guile-ncurses` would typically be installed via your system's package manager or built from source. If you are using NixOS, you would look for a Nix package for `guile-ncurses`.
+
+    ```nix
+    # Example: Adding guile-ncurses to a Nix shell (package name might vary)
+    nix-shell -p guile guile-ncurses
+    ```
+
+2. **Using in Code:**
+    You would use the `(ncurses curses)` module (and others like `(ncurses form)`, `(ncurses menu)`, `(ncurses panel)`) in your Guile script.
+
+    ```scheme
+    (use-modules (ncurses curses))
+
+    (define (tui-main stdscr)
+      ;; Initialize ncurses
+      (cbreak!)       ;; Line buffering disabled, Pass on ever char
+      (noecho!)       ;; Don't echo() while we do getch
+      (keypad stdscr #t) ;; Enable Fx keys, arrow keys etc.
+
+      (addstr "Hello, Guile Ncurses TUI!")
+      (refresh)
+      (getch) ;; Wait for a key press
+      (endwin)) ;; End curses mode
+
+    ;; Initialize and run the TUI
+    (initscr)
+    (tui-main stdscr)
+    ```
+
+**Resources:**
+
+* **Guile-Ncurses Project Page:** [https://www.nongnu.org/guile-ncurses/](https://www.nongnu.org/guile-ncurses/)
+* **Guile-Ncurses Manual:** [https://www.gnu.org/software/guile-ncurses/manual/](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile-ncurses/manual/)
+
+Integrating `guile-ncurses` can significantly enhance the user experience of your `home-lab-tools` script, allowing for interactive menus, status dashboards, and more complex user interactions beyond simple command-line arguments and output.
+
+## 10. Conclusion and Next Steps
+
+Migrating `home-lab-tools` to Guile Scheme offers a path to a more maintainable, robust, and extensible solution. While there is a learning curve for Scheme, the long-term benefits for managing a complex set of administration tasks are significant.
+
+**Next Steps:**
+
+1. **Install Guile:** Ensure Guile is available in the development environment.
+2. **Start Small:** Begin by porting one command or a set of utility functions (e.g., logging, SSH wrappers).
+3. **Learn Guile Basics:** Familiarize with Scheme syntax, common procedures, and modules. The Guile Reference Manual is an excellent resource.
+4. **Develop Incrementally:** Port functionality piece by piece, testing along the way.
+5. **Explore Guile Libraries:** Investigate Guile libraries for argument parsing (e.g., `(gnu cmdline)`), file system operations, and other needs.
+6. **Refactor and Organize:** Use Guile's module system to keep the codebase clean and organized.
+
+This transition will require an initial investment in learning and development but promises a more powerful and sustainable tool for managing the home lab infrastructure.
