feat(haproxy): preserve SPOE filter + frontend log-format on import/edit (v1.8.8, Issue #38)

Bulk import / manual edit silently dropped `filter spoe engine ...` (Coraza WAF)
and frontend `log-format` because the parser recognised only a fixed directive
set. The regenerated config then missed the SPOE engine, so HAProxy failed with
"unable to find SPOE engine 'coraza' used by the send-spoe-group".

- parser: capture `filter` + `log-format`/`log-format-sd` into new ParsedFrontend fields
- db: additive nullable `log_format` + `filters` TEXT columns on frontends (SCHEMA_VERSION 8->9)
- generator: new `filter` bucket flushed before http-request rules so `filter` precedes
  `send-spoe-group`; `log-format` kept in prelude
- bulk import: preview dict, change-detection, persist (create + merge-update); cluster-aware
  SPOE pre-flight advisories (missing-filter + host-prerequisite) surfaced in the UI
- manual CRUD: full round-trip (get/create/update) incl. React form fields (no null-wipe)
- reject/rollback: restore the new columns; restore path + wizard helper kept in parity
- backend `option spop-check` recognised (suppresses spurious warning for coraza-spoa)
- tests: test_spoe_filter_import.py; full suite green (1079 passed)

+### Performance Tuning *(v1.8.6)*
+
+The backend API defaults to a **single uvicorn worker process**, which uses one CPU core. Agents poll the API every 30 seconds (heartbeat, config, pending-requests, upgrade checks), so larger fleets add a constant baseline load. Two ways to scale:
+
+- **Docker Compose — worker processes**: set `UVICORN_WORKERS` in your `.env` (default `1`). On a multi-core host, matching the core count (e.g. `UVICORN_WORKERS=2` on a 2-core machine) lets the API use all cores:
+  ```bash
+  echo "UVICORN_WORKERS=2" >> .env && docker-compose up -d backend
+  ```
+- **Kubernetes/OpenShift — replicas**: the shipped manifests already include an HPA for the backend (2→10 replicas, `k8s/manifests/13-hpa.yaml`); raise `minReplicas`/`maxReplicas` as needed.
+
+Both are safe: all background tasks (ACME completion, renewals, agent monitoring) are multi-replica safe by design (atomic claims via `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`, PostgreSQL advisory locks).
+
+**Diagnosing slow requests**: every API response carries an `X-Response-Time` header, and the backend logs `Slow request detected` (WARNING) for any request taking longer than 1 second — check those log lines to pinpoint slow endpoints before tuning anything else.

 ## Release Notes
 
+- **v1.8.7** (2026-07-09) — **Version reporting single-source fix**: the version shown in the UI (backend-sourced via `/api/version`) could lag behind the real release. The canonical version lived in the repo-root `version.json`, but the backend image is built from the `./backend` context, so that file did not reach the container in every pipeline; the backend then fell back to a hardcoded constant in `main.py` that had to be bumped by hand and had drifted (it reported 1.8.4 after 1.8.5/1.8.6 shipped). The version now lives in a single file, `backend/version.json`, baked into every image automatically, and `main.py` no longer carries a real version literal (its fallback is a neutral "unknown"). A new test enforces that the version stays single-source and cannot drift. No functional or API change.
+- **v1.8.6** (2026-07-06) — **Performance: opt-in API workers + heartbeat micro-optimization** (Issue #35 follow-up): the backend container can now run multiple uvicorn worker processes via the new `UVICORN_WORKERS` environment variable (default **1** — behavior unchanged unless you opt in), letting the API use all cores on multi-core hosts; background tasks were already multi-replica safe, as exercised by the Kubernetes HPA deployment. The agent heartbeat handler now reads the agent's `status`/`version`/`upgrade_status` in one query instead of three (one round-trip per heartbeat, per agent, every 30s). Added a *Performance Tuning* section to the README (worker/replica scaling and how to use the `X-Response-Time` header and `Slow request detected` logs to pinpoint slow endpoints). Zero-risk release: no schema, API, or agent changes; defaults preserve existing behavior exactly.
+- **v1.8.5** (2026-07-03) — **ACME completion-task SQL fix** (Issue #35 follow-up): the background order-completion task (`complete_pending_acme_orders`, runs every 60s) died on **every cycle** with `syntax error at or near ")"` — an extra closing parenthesis introduced in v1.8.0's bounded DNS-01 retry claim query. Because that query is the task's first database call, **no background ACME work ran at all from v1.8.0 through v1.8.4**: orders were never claimed for finalize/download, the DNS-01 TXT record was never published (so DNS-01 with an automated provider such as Cloudflare could never validate), Site Wizard staged orders never left `wizard_staged`, and DNS-01 retry/TXT-cleanup never executed. The stray parenthesis is removed and a regression test now scans all ACME modules' SQL for unbalanced parentheses (the unit suite mocks the database, which is why a raw-SQL syntax error could slip through). One-line backend query fix; no schema, API, or agent changes — fully backward compatible.
+- **v1.8.4** (2026-06-27) — **Agent installer self-kill fix** (Issue #31): the Linux/macOS agent installer could abort during "pre-installation cleanup" (terminal showed `Killing processes matching: haproxy-agent` then `Killed`) when the install script's own filename contained "haproxy-agent". The cleanup killed processes by matching the bare string "haproxy-agent" against full command lines, which also matched the running installer (and a `sudo`/PAM ancestor the self-exclusion did not cover), so the installer terminated itself. Cleanup now targets only the installed agent (the `$INSTALL_DIR/haproxy-agent` binary and the agent service), never the bare string, and the UI now names the downloaded scripts `install-agent-<platform>.sh` / `uninstall-agent-<platform>.sh`. Installer-only change; the running agent and its privilege model (it runs as root for HAProxy reload, config writes, keepalived, and self-upgrade) are unchanged.
+- **v1.8.3** (2026-06-25) — **Agent heartbeat JSON fix** (Issue #31): a self-hosted agent could fail every heartbeat with `HTTP 400 Invalid JSON: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes` when the system-info block it collects came back empty on an unusual host, leaving a stray comma in the hand-built heartbeat JSON. The agent script now substitutes a valid placeholder when that block is empty so it can no longer emit a stray comma, and the backend heartbeat endpoint now parses valid payloads as-is and, only when a body fails to parse, tolerates that specific malformed pattern (a leading or doubled comma) so an already-deployed agent recovers on its next heartbeat after this build is deployed. Backend + agent-script only; healthy agents of every version are byte-for-byte unaffected.
+- **v1.8.2** (2026-06-25) — **ACME nonce fix** (Issue #35 follow-up): the ACME client now scopes the anti-replay nonce **per certificate authority** so a nonce issued by one CA is never sent to another. This fixes ZeroSSL/Google account registration failing with `malformed: The Replay Nonce could not be base64url-decoded` (the client previously shared one nonce across CAs and only auto-retried on `badNonce`). Account registration now always uses a fresh nonce from the target CA, and the retry covers this case too. Backend-only; HTTP-01 and Let's Encrypt are unaffected.
+- **v1.8.1** (2026-06-24) — **ACME DNS-01 fixes** (Issue #35 follow-up): Cloudflare API tokens are now sanitized so a pasted token with quotes/spaces no longer fails with "Invalid request headers"; ZeroSSL/Google **External Account Binding (EAB)** can be entered per-account in the register dialog and EAB-required failures show a clear message; and **Apply Management** now categorizes cluster ACME enable/disable changes under their own "ACME Challenge Routing" section and **Apply/Reject All** correctly process them (previously "Rejected 0 HA/VIP change(s)"), consistent with every other entity. Fully backward compatible.
 - **v1.8.0** (2026-06-23) — **ACME DNS-01 challenge support** (Issue #35): Auto SSL can now validate via a **DNS TXT record** (`_acme-challenge.<domain>`) instead of HTTP-01 on port 80, enabling certificates for **internal/isolated clusters with no public ingress** and **wildcard** certificates (`*.example.com`). Pluggable **per-account DNS provider** (Manual + Cloudflare to start; credentials verified on save and **encrypted at rest**, never returned by the API or logged), the same **PENDING → APPLIED** pipeline, a **bounded automatic retry** on propagation lag, and a **DNS-01 event timeline** in the order detail. **Opt-in** via Settings → ACME (global switch, default off); **HTTP-01 is byte-for-byte unchanged**, with **zero agent or rendered-config changes**. Manual DNS-01 certificates cannot auto-renew unattended; the UI states this and disables auto-renew for them.
 - **v1.7.8** (2026-06-07) — HA / VIP apply progress now shows **per-node** convergence: a multi-node VIP's apply popup reads "Syncing HA/VIP… 1/2 node(s) converged" (matching the HA/VIP table) instead of a coarse per-change count. Frontend-only.
 - **v1.7.7** (2026-06-07) — HA / VIP apply-progress consistency: applying a VIP change (or approving a delete) used to flash the progress popup green instantly while the HA/VIP page still showed `SYNCING (0/1)` for a couple of minutes. The popup now **keeps showing "Syncing HA/VIP… X/Y node(s) converged"** until each member node reports the VIP `ACTIVE` (create/edit) or fully torn down (delete) — exactly like the HAProxy agent-sync widget — then completes green. It's a fire-and-forget background poll (the Apply button is released immediately), bounded at ~5 min so an offline node can't spin forever (then it completes with an informational "still converging — track on the HA/VIP page"). Frontend-only; no backend/agent/schema change.

+Issue #38 regression tests: HAProxy SPOE `filter` + frontend `log-format` support.
+
+Bug: the bulk-config parser recognised only a fixed set of frontend directives,
+so `filter spoe engine coraza config ...` and `log-format ...` were silently
+dropped on import / manual edit. This regenerated a config missing the SPOE
+engine definition, so HAProxy failed with
+"unable to find SPOE engine 'coraza' used by the send-spoe-group 'coraza-req'".
+
+These tests verify the end-to-end fix without requiring a database:
+1. parser captures `filter` + `log-format` into the new ParsedFrontend fields;
+2. `http-request send-spoe-group` is still preserved (regression guard);
+3. the generator's directive categoriser + bucket flush order emit `filter`
+   BEFORE the `http-request send-spoe-group` rules and keep `log-format`;
+4. reject/rollback restores the new columns;
+5. a non-SPOE frontend is completely unaffected (zero-impact).
