# Fleet: replica floors, monitor, pause, restart

Runtime copies of middleware workers, WORM archives, and **tree nodes** are declared in `packages/verae-fleet/fleet.json` (how many) and `packages/verae-fleet/services/*.json` (how each one runs).

```text
operator  --HTTP 127.0.0.1:3850-->  fleet control
                                      | spawn workers with /health
          tree-node min=3 keepFloor   |
          archive-worm min=3          |
          paused ≠ available          |
          unhealthy → restart         v
                               replicas on loopback health ports
```

- **list** — `node src/cli.js list`
- **monitor** — `serve` probes `/health` and reconciles
- **restart** — crash or 503 → same instance id respawned
- **pause / off** — pause does not count toward `min`; keepFloor starts another tree-node. `stop` on a service disables it.
- **tree-node floor** — `fleet.json` `tree-node.min` (default 3). Do not drop this without changing the spec; bulk-summary leaf queries need several bloom-filtered nodes.

Zapier cloud is not spawned. NATS is monitored, not bound publicly.
