 - authoritative Pangolin cleanup was then completed by rewriting the audited Serenity target set to `10.5.30.5` for both routing and health checks, removing the need for any legacy-IP workaround

+Live execution on 2026-05-25 established:
+- `Huntarr` and `omegabrr` were low-risk stale stopped containers and were removed from Serenity
+- the recent non-running `Created` containers (`calibre-web`, `SuggestArr`, `Cleanuparr`, `calibre`, `agregarr`) were not blindly pruned because their metadata was touched recently and they may represent intentional but inactive templates
+- `Unraid-Cloudflared-Tunnel` is not currently dead: it still has a live tunnel token and active Cloudflare edge registrations, so removal requires a separate usage audit first
+- the Serenity Pi-hole HA stack is also not safe to remove blindly yet: `10.5.30.53` is still answering DNS and Serenity is running a backup `keepalived`/Pi-hole stack, so Pi-hole retirement must stay gated on the broader DNS cutover verification

 ### Unraid-Cloudflared-Tunnel
-- Dead container, should be removed
+- Older notes called this dead, but live inspection on 2026-05-25 showed active Cloudflare QUIC edge registrations and a configured tunnel token.
+- Treat it as a live service pending usage audit, not a safe blind-removal candidate.

+### Serenity Wave 1 cleanup guardrails
+- Do not assume `Unraid-Cloudflared-Tunnel` is dead just because it looked obsolete in older notes; live inspection on 2026-05-25 showed active Cloudflare tunnel registrations, so audit usage before removal.
+- Do not remove Serenity's Pi-hole HA containers blindly while `10.5.30.53` still answers DNS; verify the full Technitium cutover path first.
+- Recent `Created` containers on Unraid may represent intentionally retained templates rather than stale debris; distinguish them from long-dead exited containers before pruning.
 
 ### Serenity Newt / Pangolin stale health-check IP drift
 - Several Serenity Newt-backed Pangolin targets were corrected to `ip=localhost`/`10.5.30.5` but still retained stale `hcHostname=10.5.1.5`, so Newt health checks failed with `no route to host`
