 we have some documentation on the static mirroring system here:

 https://help.torproject.org/tsa/howto/static-component/

 it's mostly procedural and minimal: add a component, remove a component
 and that's it. it doesn't explain at all how the system works, how to
 create or remove a new node in the network, how onion services interact
 with it, and how it actually works in puppet.

 all this should be better documented. for example, I should be able to
 resolve #34396 without asking weasel. :)
