Summary

infra/forgejo/SWITCH-DAY.md, step 1 (the freeze):

+VPS_ADMIN_TARGET=$(sed -n 's/^VPS_ADMIN_TARGET=//p' ~/.config/chess-gitlab-vps/wizard.env)
 glab mr list --repo amaurycoudr/chess-project              # prints no merge request
-ssh "$VPS_ADMIN_TARGET" "docker ps --format '{{.Names}}'" | grep -c chess-pr-   # 0
+ssh "$VPS_ADMIN_TARGET" "docker ps --all --format '{{.Names}}'" | grep -c chess-pr-   # 0

Step 1 runs before the Forgejo wizard, so "Before you start" has not loaded VPS_ADMIN_TARGET yet; the GitLab wizard's state holds it. --all also counts stopped preview containers.

Evidence

Before: run during #498's freeze, the check printed ssh: Could not resolve hostname : and then 0, a pass that checked nothing.
After: with the target from the GitLab wizard's state, docker ps --all … | grep -c chess-pr- printed 0 after the reap (outputs on #498).

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Blast Radius: docs
