Good news: descaling with white vinegar for 2 hours, removal and cleaning of the igniter, and cleaning the debris screen worked. It runs reliably again. Hot water galore!
BAD news: the heat exchanger filled with water is slowly leaking into the gas manifold.
Better news: I have a phone to call the repair guy and a car to drive to the beach!
