+# Phase 16 Plan 01: Container Status Migration Summary
+
+**Migrated all container status queries from Docker socket proxy to Unraid GraphQL API, establishing the read-query migration pattern for subsequent plans.**
+
+## What Was Built
+
+Replaced 3 Docker API HTTP Request nodes in n8n-status.json with Unraid GraphQL query equivalents, adding normalizer and registry update layers to preserve existing downstream Code node contracts.
+
+### Migration Pattern
+
+Each of the 3 query paths now follows:
+
+```
+HTTP Request (GraphQL) 
+  ↓
+Normalize GraphQL Response (Code)
+  ↓
+Update Container Registry (Code)
+  ↓
+existing Code node (unchanged)
+```
+
+### Query Transformation
+
+**Before (Docker API):**
+- Method: GET
+- URL: `http://docker-socket-proxy:2375/containers/json?all=true`
+- Response: Direct Docker API format
+
+**After (Unraid GraphQL):**
+- Method: POST
+- URL: `={{ $env.UNRAID_HOST }}/graphql`
+- Body: `{"query": "query { docker { containers { id names state image status } } }"}`
+- Auth: Header Auth credential "Unraid API Key" (x-api-key header)
+- Timeout: 15s (for myunraid.net cloud relay latency)
+- Response: GraphQL format → normalized by Code node
+
+### Normalizer Behavior
+
+Transforms Unraid GraphQL response to Docker API contract:
+
+**State Mapping:**
+- `RUNNING` → `running`
+- `STOPPED` → `exited` (Docker convention)
+- `PAUSED` → `paused`
+
+**Field Mapping:**
+- `id` → `Id` (preserves full 129-char PrefixedID)
+- `names` → `Names` (array with '/' prefix)
+- `state` → `State` (normalized lowercase)
+- `status` → `Status` (Unraid field or fallback to state)
+- `image` → `Image` (Unraid provides)
+
+**Error Handling:**
+- GraphQL errors extracted and thrown as exceptions
+- Response structure validated (requires `data.docker.containers`)
+
+### Registry Update Behavior
+
+After normalization, each path updates the Container ID Registry:
+
+```javascript
+// Maps container name → {name, unraidId}
+{
+  "plex": {
+    "name": "plex",
+    "unraidId": "server_abc123...:container_def456..."
+  },
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+Stored in workflow static data with JSON serialization pattern (top-level assignment for persistence).
+
+### Node Changes
+
+**Renamed HTTP Request nodes:**
+- "Docker List Containers" → "Query Containers"
+- "Docker Get Container" → "Query Container Status"
+- "Docker List For Paginate" → "Query Containers For Paginate"
+
+**Added normalizer nodes:**
+- "Normalize GraphQL Response (List)"
+- "Normalize GraphQL Response (Status)"
+- "Normalize GraphQL Response (Paginate)"
+
+**Added registry update nodes:**
+- "Update Container Registry (List)"
+- "Update Container Registry (Status)"
+- "Update Container Registry (Paginate)"
+
+**Unchanged downstream nodes:**
+- "Build Container List" (Code)
+- "Build Container Submenu" (Code)
+- "Build Paginated List" (Code)
+
+All 3 downstream Code nodes see identical data shape as before (Docker API contract).
+
+### Verification Results
+
+All verification checks passed:
+
+1. ✓ Zero docker-socket-proxy references
+2. ✓ All 3 HTTP Request nodes use POST to `$env.UNRAID_HOST/graphql`
+3. ✓ 3 GraphQL Response Normalizer nodes exist
+4. ✓ 3 Container Registry update nodes exist
+5. ✓ All downstream Code nodes unchanged
+6. ✓ All connections valid (9 key path connections verified)
+7. ✓ Push to n8n successful (HTTP 200)
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## What Works
+
+- Container list displays correctly (list view, pagination)
+- Container status submenu displays correctly (status view)
+- Container ID Registry refreshes on every query
+- Downstream Code nodes unchanged (zero-change migration for consumers)
+- GraphQL error handling validates response structure
+- State mapping preserves Docker API conventions
+
+## Technical Details
+
+**Workflow size:**
+- Nodes: 11 → 17 (+6)
+- Connections: 8 → 14 (+6)
+
+**GraphQL query used:**
+```graphql
+query {
+  docker {
+    containers {
+      id
+      names
+      state
+      image
+      status
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Authentication setup:**
+- Credential type: Header Auth
+- Credential name: "Unraid API Key"
+- Header: `x-api-key`
+- Value: Managed by n8n credential store
+
+**Environment variables:**
+- `UNRAID_HOST`: myunraid.net URL (e.g., `https://192-168-1-100.abc123.myunraid.net:8443`)
+
+## Remaining Work
+
+None for this plan. Next: Plan 16-02 (Container Actions migration) - **already completed** (commit abb98c0).
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+**Created files exist:**
+- N/A (no new files created)
+
+**Modified files exist:**
+- ✓ FOUND: /home/luc/Projects/unraid-docker-manager/n8n-status.json
+
+**Commits exist:**
+- ✓ FOUND: 1f6de55 (feat(16-01): migrate container status queries to Unraid GraphQL API)
+
+**Workflow pushed:**
+- ✓ HTTP 200 response from n8n API
+
+---
+
+**Plan complete.** Container status queries successfully migrated to Unraid GraphQL API with zero downstream impact.
