Docker container baseline drift: 107 running vs expected 117

What

CTO heartbeat container-health check found 107 running Docker containers against the configured baseline of 117. Delta is -10.

Evidence

  • docker ps -q | wc -l = 107
  • Expected baseline in HEARTBEAT.md = 117
  • docker ps --filter health=unhealthy -q | wc -l = 0
  • docker ps -a count = 107; no exited, dead, created, paused, or restarting containers found

Severity

Operational anomaly, not critical. Critical threshold for this check is unhealthy containers >=2; current unhealthy count is 0.

Likely Interpretations

  1. Baseline count is stale after deliberate container removals.
  2. Ten containers were removed or never recreated, rather than stopped/crashed.
  3. Expected container inventory needs reconciliation against current MCP/platform registry.

Action Required

Reconcile Docker running inventory against the authoritative expected-service registry, then either restore missing services or update HEARTBEAT.md baseline from 117 to the validated count.
