Lab external connectivity evaluation

When to use

Operator wants external (internet or read-only public DB) connector checks alongside LAB_SMOKE_MULTI_HOST; or chat token external-eval.

Steps

1. Read docs/ops/LAB_EXTERNAL_CONNECTIVITY_EVAL.md (EN) or .pt_BR.md.
2. Do not paste third-party credentials into tracked files or issues. Private copies: docs/private.example/homelab/config.external-eval.example.yaml → docs/private/.
3. Run .\scripts\lab-external-smoke.ps1 from repo root (quick HTTPS probe). Optional -TcpHost / -TcpPort after firewall open toward hub.
4. Optional: deploy/lab-smoke-stack/docker-compose.mongo.yml for local MongoDB seeds.
5. Full Data Boar: uv run python main.py --config ... per USAGE.md — include at least one E2E-OK and one E2E-FAIL-EXPECTED target per session.

Guardrails

• Respect rate limits and ToS of public APIs.
• RNAcentral and similar: credentials only from the provider help page; never commit.
