+## solvr Mac Server Restart Issue
+
+Investigated and began troubleshooting why the solvr Mac server failed to automatically come back online after a restart on Tailscale. The machine was hardened during previous setup but the hardening did not persist correctly across the restart cycle.
+
+**Problem statement**: The solvr Mac required manual intervention (client connecting mouse, keyboard, and monitor to log in) to come back online after the last restart. This is inconsistent with previous behavior where the machine automatically rejoined the Tailscale network after restart without manual intervention.
+
+**Expected behavior**: A properly hardened remote Mac server should auto-restart and rejoin Tailscale without requiring physical login. Power settings should keep the machine on, and Tailscale should auto-start on boot.
+
+**Next steps**: Use the mac-server-setup skill to run recon commands, identify which hardening settings didn't apply correctly (likely power/sleep settings, auto-restart on power loss, or boot-time service configuration), and regenerate the hardening script with correct idempotent configuration.
+
+The mac-server-setup skill provides reference hardening covering: power settings (no sleep, auto-restart), firewall, SMB shares, consumer service disabling, SSH key auth, and service deferral.
