- Post-update fio benchmark: random read +12.4%, write +15.9% IOPS
- Latency reduced 10-14% for random workloads
- SMART health unchanged: 0 media errors, 0 error log entries
- Firmware research status updated to complete
- Pre-benchmark checklist marked done
Comprehensive benchmark of Samsung PM9A1 NVMe SSD before firmware
update from GXA7401Q to GXA7802Q. Includes SMART health, hdparm,
and fio results (seq/rand read/write, 4K blocks, iodepth=32).
- Researched 7 component categories for available firmware updates
- NVMe SSD (PM9A1): update available GXA7401Q -> GXA7802Q
- Motherboard BIOS F53 is current (no update needed)
- SATA SSD 840 EVO, GPU GTX 1050 Ti: EOL, no updates
- NIC/CPU microcode: managed via kernel/firmware packages
- USB peripherals: no LVFS/fwupd support
- Recommend installing fwupd for future firmware management
- Created crash analysis for 2026-03-17 OOM event.
- Documented stability test results and memory tuning effects.
- Added PARA-structured workflows for EOD protocol.
- Updated workstation health report for current 16GB swap status.
- Delete deprecated CLAUDE.md
- Create root-level AGENTS.md for AI assistant guidance
- Create SDD constitution in .specify/memory/constitution.md
- Align documentation with PARA structure (docs/product/project-brief.md, docs/tech/stack.md, docs/plans/)
- Add standardized YAML frontmatter to all documentation files
- Update README.md with saTway branding and structure
- Synchronized Ansible roles with removed redundant packages.
- Performed system audit (performance, boot, disk usage).
- Organized home directory by removing 22 clean remote repositories.
- Reclaimed ~21GB of disk space in ~/Projects.
- Retained dirty repositories and those without remote origins for safety.
- Updated documentation (performance tuning, software stack, setup).
- Created NEXT_STEPS.md and documented learnings.
