hubs.json — schema

The stateful artifact recording how to reach each Hubitat hub for code operations (deploy, pull, log-tail). Owner: scripts/hubs_config.py (sole writer; owns migration). Readers: scripts/hubclient.py (load_hubs, resolve_hub) via hub_pull.py / hub_deploy.py.

Shape (schema_version 1)

{
  "schema_version": 1,
  "default": "main",
  "hubs": {
    "main":     { "ip": "192.168.30.2",  "port": 8080 },
    "upstairs": { "ip": "192.168.30.17", "port": 8080 },
    "garage":   { "ip": "192.168.30.16", "port": 8080 }
  }
}

• schema_version (int, required) — stamped on every write; readers that see a version they don't accept treat the file as no-usable-state (they never migrate — the owner script does).
• default (string or null) — the hub used when a command names none. The first hub added becomes the default automatically.
• hubs (object) — name → {ip, port}. port defaults to 8080.

Contract

• Secrets never live here. Only IPs and ports. Maker API app_id/token, if used, come from the environment (MAKER_API_APP_ID, MAKER_API_TOKEN), matching the tg-hubitat-bot convention — so a committed hubs.json leaks nothing.
• Hints, not authority (stateful-artifacts rule): an IP here is a last-seen value. If a hub call fails to connect, the IP may have changed — reconcile against the network, don't trust the file blindly.
• Migration: only hubs_config.py migrates. On reading an older/absent schema_version it upgrades and rewrites; a newer version than it supports is an error telling the user to upgrade the plugin.
