✅ STATUS: MULTI-SYSTEM SUCCESS ACHIEVED

12-hour debugging session ultimately successful - all systems working!

Final Resolution Status

✅ walter (OpenBSD): Config-detection functional, HTTP-Server stable
✅ karl (Arch): Config-regression RESOLVED! Development working
✅ POSIX-Compatibility: /bin/sh works across platforms
✅ Universal-Scripts: start.sh runs on OpenBSD + Linux
✅ Service-User-Support: _furt user can run services

Lessons Learned (Preserved)

Multi-Distribution-Challenges:

Shell-Compatibility: bash vs sh critical for OpenBSD
PATH-Detection: Different behavior across distributions
Package-Names: lua51 vs lua vs lua5.1 variants
Service-User-Context: Different PATH for system users

Working Solutions:

Config-Hierarchy: System → Project → Environment-Variables
POSIX-Scripts: /bin/sh compatibility mandatory
Absolute-Paths: More reliable than PATH-dependent detection
Environment-Loading: grep + xargs pattern works universally

Technical Implementation (WORKING)

Universal Config-Detection:

# Working on both OpenBSD + Linux:
if [ -f "/usr/local/etc/furt/environment" ]; then
    export $(grep -v '^#' /usr/local/etc/furt/environment | xargs)
elif [ -f "$REPO_ROOT/.env" ]; then  
    export $(grep -v '^#' $REPO_ROOT/.env | xargs)
fi

Cross-Platform-Compatibility:

walter: /usr/local/bin/lua → luasec SSL library
karl: /usr/bin/lua51 → luaossl SSL library
Both: smtp.lua detects available SSL implementation

Strategic Impact

Multi-System-Deployment: PROVEN functional
Development-Workflow: karl ↔ walter seamless
Production-Readiness: walter demonstrates production-stability
Config-Standards: Established through practical experience

Session-Outcome

Started: Config-detection problems across systems
Achieved: Universal config-loading working on all systems
Bonus: Production-stability proven on OpenBSD
Learning: Cross-system-compatibility requires patience but achieves robust solutions

Session Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Ultimate success after persistence)
