handleLogin rejected all credentials when ALLOW_ADMIN_BYPASS=1 because
it validated against config AuthUser/AuthPass directly without checking
the bypass flag. This made dev-mode browser testing impossible after a
backend restart with bypass env vars — the API middleware accepted all
requests but the login page could never obtain a session cookie.
When bypass is enabled, accept any credentials and create a session as
'admin'.
1. Add Impact field to findingView struct — was completely missing from
the unified findings API response serialization.
2. Expand generateImpact() to cover all ~25 alert types the system
produces. Previously only 7 had curated impact text.
3. Fix naming mismatches: poweredOff/nodeOffline never matched actual
alert types powered-off/host-offline.
4. Expand TypeCategoryMap with all missing alert types.
TCP probes to fast local-network services can complete in under 1ms,
causing latency.Milliseconds() to return 0. Combined with omitempty on
the poller status struct, this made some probes show 'Online' with no
latency in the settings panel. Now successful probes always report at
least 1ms.
When a monitor reload was triggered by node auto-registration, the
reloadFunc in server.go recreated the monitor (and its notification
manager) but never re-applied system settings. The new notification
manager started with an empty webhook private CIDR allowlist, causing
webhook notifications to private IPs to fail until the allowlist was
manually re-saved in Settings.
Fix: call router.ReloadSystemSettings() at the end of reloadFunc,
after the new monitor references are set. This re-applies all
persisted system settings — including the webhook CIDR allowlist —
to the freshly created notification manager.

The /api/health endpoint gated scheduler health on
DeadLetterCount()==0, causing a 503 whenever any single monitored
node became unreachable. Dead-lettered tasks are the scheduler
working as designed — after repeated failures the task is moved to
the dead-letter queue to prevent infinite retries.
In the live lab this manifested as a persistent 503 on /api/health
because the Pi node (192.168.0.2) times out on every poll cycle,
dead-lettering its task while the other 20+ tasks continue normally.
The scheduler is healthy when the monitor is running. Dead-letter
counts remain available as diagnostic info via the
/api/monitoring/scheduler/health endpoint.
Agentless availability checks (ICMP/TCP/HTTP) were always minting
standalone network-endpoint resources, leaving them disconnected from
the known Proxmox/Docker guest they actually monitor. This made
availability evidence invisible on the platform resource row where the
user expects it, per the performance-and-scalability bounded-row
contract.
Backend (unified-resources ingest):
- Add LinkedResourceID field to AvailabilityData and AvailabilityTarget
- resolveAvailabilityLink: explicit link first, then exact-IP unambiguous
correlation; skip hostname-only (lossy); guard against overwriting a
different target's facet
- Unlinked/unmatched probes still mint network-endpoint (fallback)
Frontend:
- Relax getAvailabilityProbePresentation for any resource with availability
- Add compact protocol badge to UnifiedResourceHostTableCard name cell
- Add optional 'Link to resource' field to availability target form
- Add linkedResourceId to frontend types
Contracts: api-contracts, unified-resources, monitoring,
performance-and-scalability, storage-recovery.
Governance: coverage_gap + candidate_lane in status.json.
Treat browser-encoded comma-separated resource type lists the same as literal comma filters so Docker and platform pages keep canonical inventory rows.
The alert AI button now offers a manual targeted Patrol check alongside the
existing context-only Pulse Assistant handoff, so the take-the-lead intent routes
to Patrol (the investigator) instead of overloading Assistant (the explainer).
POST /api/ai/patrol/run (HandleForcePatrol) accepts an optional scope body and
routes through the same TriggerScopedPatrol engine and scoped run record as
automatic alert-triggered work, not a new trigger route; empty body keeps the
legacy fleet-wide run. Scoped runs honour Patrol readiness but bypass the
full-run cadence gate, consistent with the existing scoped-cadence rule, and
carry resource identity only (no command or remediation payload).
Frontend: triggerPatrolRun(scope?) and a split AI button (patrolOption) on the
alert overview card whose menu runs the scoped check; icon/history rows stay
single-purpose. Contract updates land in the touched/dependent subsystem docs
(ai-runtime, api-contracts, agent-lifecycle, storage-recovery, frontend-primitives,
security-privacy, patrol-intelligence, alerts); subsystem_lookup_test line
expectation refreshed for the api-contracts shift.
Z.ai keys on the coding subscription get 429 'Insufficient balance' on the standard /api/paas/v4 endpoint. Add a per-provider BaseURLField to the Z.ai registry entry, a ZaiBaseURL override on AIConfig (returned by GetBaseURLForProvider when set, else the standard default), the handler request/response/apply plumbing, and a 'Custom Base URL' field on the Z.ai provider card so operators can point at /api/coding/paas/v4. Mirrors the existing OpenAI custom-base-URL override; the standard endpoint remains the default for pay-as-you-go users. Adds config/handler/frontend proofs and updates the ai-runtime, api-contracts, frontend-primitives, agent-lifecycle, and storage-recovery contracts.
Add a registry-backed provider model for runtime metadata and chat-compatible transports.
Support Z.ai, Groq, Mistral, Cerebras, Together, and Fireworks through the shared chat-compatible client path while keeping native providers on their existing adapters. Expose provider metadata through settings and render the expanded provider set in the frontend.
Manifest-backed MCP tools, prompts, and resources with surface affordance contracts; agent capability manifest and governance projection; API contract tests and capability route projection; operations-loop and intelligence-funnel telemetry; release-control subsystem documentation, registry, and tooling; licensing and configuration.
The liveness handler called SchedulerHealth(), which refreshes provider
instance caches under the monitor's write lock and snapshots queues and
breakers on every probe — it only needed the dead-letter count. Add
Monitor.DeadLetterCount() (queue-local mutex only) and use it.
The hot-dev watchdog killed the backend after 2 missed 3s probes; on a
dev box running race-detector test suites and builds that is routine
CPU starvation, and each kill destroyed any in-flight Assistant chat
stream (observed repeatedly during the chat-feel audit). Default the
miss threshold to 4 (~20s) — genuine wedges still die quickly.
A full local go test run on 2026-06-11 failed pkg/metrics while vite
builds were saturating the machine. Reproduced under synthetic 8-core
load: only the TestSLO_* wall-clock p95 assertions failed, never the
functional tests. A latency budget measured on a shared dev machine
cannot distinguish host contention from a code regression; load storms
inflated medians up to ~4x with no code change, so no absolute
threshold separates the two.
Route the latency SLO assertions (pkg/metrics, internal/api,
internal/monitoring) and the load/stress perf assertions (internal/api)
through helpers that keep strict enforcement on GitHub Actions runners
(controlled environment, existing hosted-runner envelopes unchanged)
and skip locally on overrun, printing the full p50/p95/p99
distribution in the skip message. A local pass still means the budget
was genuinely met. Error-response and correctness checks remain hard
failures. CI -race runs are unaffected: these tests already skip under
the race detector.
Verified: pkg/metrics, internal/api, and internal/monitoring all pass
with 8 CPU burners saturating the host, the scenario that previously
turned TestSLO_RollupTierBatchedFleet and four other budget tests red.
TestLogHandlers_HandleStreamLogs_SendsEvents raced the handler
goroutine against a broadcaster write and a 10ms sleep. The global
broadcaster is shared with every concurrently running test and drops
messages to full subscriber channels, so under CI load the test's
line could be dropped and the body stayed empty; it never failed
locally because the flood only exists during a full package run on a
slow runner (first CI execution of the Go steps in ~100 runs exposed
it).
Write the line into broadcaster history first and run the handler
synchronously with a pre-cancelled context: Subscribe replays history
before the live select loop, so subscription, SSE formatting, and
context cancellation are all exercised with no goroutine, no sleep,
and no dependence on concurrent traffic. Live-channel delivery stays
covered by the broadcaster's own package tests.
workloadSummaryStatusIsRunning treated every status except StatusOnline as
not running, so a guest at StatusWarning landed in the Stopped bucket.
Warning is an attention state on a running workload: statusFromGuest maps
degraded guest states to it (power-off maps to StatusOffline), and since
53faa4e46 the registry stale pass degrades online resources with stale
source sightings to it as well. That stale pass surfaced the bug as
provider-backed (VMware) VMs counting Total:1 Running:0 Stopped:1 in
TestContract_WorkloadChartsUseCanonicalWorkloadIDsForProviderBackedVMs and
TestHandleWorkloadsSummaryCharts_UsesCanonicalWorkloadIDsForVMwareVMs,
which seeded sightings older than the VMware stale threshold. Both pass
again with warning counted as running.
Two silent-downgrade paths in the v5→v6 migration are now visible and
self-healing:
License load/decrypt failure (was: one log line, no UI state): when
license.enc exists but cannot be read, getTenantComponents now persists
a terminal commercial_migration state with reason
persisted_license_unreadable, so the licence panel and global banner
tell the customer to re-enter their v5 key instead of leaving them to
discover missing Pro features.
Failed startup exchange (was: once per process, Community until manual
restart): exchange failures classified as pending — license-server
blips, DNS failures, rate limits — now schedule a background retry loop
with backoff (30s → 30m cap) that re-attempts the exchange until it
succeeds, hits a terminal classification, or the org's service activates
through another path. The loop stops cleanly on manual activation and
StopAllBackgroundLoops.
Registers the new files in the subsystem registry (cloud-paid
commercial-migration verification policy + shared ownership) and pins
both behaviors in the cloud-paid and api-contracts contracts.
Two regressions surfaced by generating a real-mode agent report after a
backend restart:
- Report subject lookups used Monitor.GetUnifiedResources (the raw
resource store), but the raw store's canonical IDs depend on per-boot
ingest order for merged-source hosts: after a restart the same host
resolved to a different agent-<hash> than the one the UI and
/api/state advertise, so reports lost the resource name, availability,
and metrics translation entirely. Subject enrichment now reads
Monitor.UnifiedResourceSnapshot and MetricsTargetForResource resolves
through GetUnifiedReadStateOrSnapshot first (raw store as fallback) -
the same re-ingested registry every other read surface uses.
- The performance summary card grid positions cards absolutely and never
paginated: an agent host reporting 8+ metric families walked off the
page bottom, fought fpdf's auto page break, and scattered one orphan
element per page (a 7-day delly report rendered 18 pages, ten of them
near-blank). The grid now starts a new page before a row that will not
fit; the same report renders 9 pages with intact cards.
Verified live: real-mode delly report shows name, 288 data points,
availability, charts, and correctly paginated cards. The underlying
canonical-ID instability (raw store vs re-ingested view, and the
resource_changes journal fragmenting across boot eras) is a separate
root issue tracked for its own fix.
Performance reports answered 'what were the averages' but never 'was my
infrastructure up' - the question a managed-service client reads a
monthly report for. Reports now carry an Availability summary derived
from the recorded resource change timeline (state_transition entries
keyed by the canonical unified ID):
- uptime percent over the observed portion of the window, outage count,
total downtime, and longest outage, rendered in the executive summary
with an explicit semantics note; fleet summaries gain a per-resource
Uptime column and CSV exports gain availability header lines
- absent/unknown spans are unobserved time: excluded from the uptime
math entirely and disclosed as coverage, never counted as downtime.
The journal records a registry absence for every monitor restart, so
treating gaps as outages would invent fleet-wide downtime every time
the operator restarts Pulse
- warning states count as up (the resource is reachable and serving);
the uptime label clamps rounding so any real downtime can never
display as a clean 100%
- resources with no timeline render no availability section at all
rather than a fabricated number
Verified live against a real 7-day window: uptime/outage/downtime
figures reconcile with the raw resource_changes journal.
Performance reports were structurally disconnected from the v6 ID
space: the UI (and any API caller working from /api/state) addresses
resources by canonical unified ID, while the metrics store is keyed by
each platform's native source ID (the resource's metricsTarget). The
engine queried the store with the unified ID verbatim, so every report
rendered 'Data Points: 0' regardless of how much history existed, and
covers showed raw hash IDs a report reader cannot map to a machine.
- MetricReportRequest gains MetricsResourceID: handlers resolve the
unified ID through the tenant monitor's resource store (new
Monitor.MetricsTargetForResource accessor; the registry computes
targets on demand, they are not persisted on snapshot structs) and
the engine uses it for store queries only. Recovery points and
Patrol findings stay keyed by the unified ID.
- Legacy snapshot models and their alerts are keyed by the metrics
target ID, so enrichment now matches either ID space and resource
names/status resolve again on covers, headers, and fleet rows.
- Fleet summaries mirror the single-report guard: zero data points
across the fleet renders a muted NO DATA card instead of a green
HEALTHY 'All systems operating normally' - false reassurance is the
worst failure mode for a client-facing stability report.
- Em dashes in PDF-bound literals become hyphens; fpdf core fonts are
cp1252 and rendered them as mojibake.
Two gaps found by exercising the MSP pilot path live on a throwaway
multi-tenant instance:
1. CheckAccess granted any authenticated principal access to the default
org, so a token bound to a client org could read the provider's own
default-org estate if it leaked from a client site. Org-bound tokens
now fall through to the explicit binding check for the default org;
authenticated users and legacy unbound tokens keep default-org access,
and binding "default" explicitly still grants it.
2. The webhook private-target allowlist (instance-wide system setting)
only ever reached the default org's notification manager on
startup/reload, and only the request-context org on settings update.
Tenant orgs' webhooks to private targets (per-client Gotify over VPN,
the canonical MSP alert route) failed SSRF validation with no org-side
remedy, and any allowlist died with a restart. Settings updates and
reloads now fan out to every live tenant manager via the new
MultiTenantMonitor.ForEachMonitor, and tenant monitors inherit the
persisted allowlist and public URL at creation.
Both fixes verified live: org-bound token vs default org returns 403;
client-org webhooks to a private target succeed after restart and for
orgs created after the allowlist was saved. MSP.md validation checklist
gains the default-org probe and the allowlist guidance; MULTI_TENANT.md
documents the binding semantics. Contracts updated for api-contracts,
security-privacy, and monitoring with adjacency notes for
agent-lifecycle, storage-recovery, and performance-and-scalability.
Adds TestContract_MetadataGetPayloadsUseZeroRecordsInsteadOf404: empty
guest/docker metadata maps must serialize as {} (never null) and a
missing resource must return a 200 zero record echoing the requested ID
(never a 404). This is the proof companion to the
metadata_handlers_shared.go consolidation in the previous commit — it
was authored with that change but lost to a shared-index race at commit
time.
golangci-lint run ./... failed on ~190 pre-existing errcheck violations and
5 unformatted files, burying any new regression in noise. Fix all of them:
- Test files that hand-rolled mock-mode set/restore (vmware, truenas, and
friends) now use the canonical setMockModeForTest/testutil.SetMockMode
helper instead of drift copies that ignored SetEnabled errors.
- internal/mock and internal/monitoring tests get package-local
mustSetEnabled/mustSetMockEnabled/mustSetMonitorMockMode helpers that
fail the test on toggle errors.
- pkg/auth/sqlite_manager.go, pkg/metrics/store.go, pkg/server/server.go:
rollbacks in defers use the explicit-discard idiom, migration renames and
rollup commits log failures, the hosted reaper goroutine logs an error
exit, shutdown mock-disable logs failures.
- Remaining test sites check errors with t.Fatalf/t.Errorf or explicitly
discard best-effort calls (restore-chmods, handler-closure unmarshals)
per existing repo style.
- gofmt: internal/api/maintenance_verification.go, internal/ai/demo.go and
three findings test files.
Only dupl findings remain (44 pre-existing production-code duplication
pairs) — those need real refactors, not mechanical fixes.
Full test suites pass for every touched package.
An agent enrolled for metrics but whose token the server doesn't recognise (or
that lacks the agent:exec scope, or is bound to a different agent) was rejected
on the command-exec WebSocket with a bare 'Invalid token' and — for the
token-not-found case — no server log at all. The agent then retried forever,
logging only 'Invalid token', so the operator had no signal that discovery
deep-scan was failing or why. (Confirmed live: delly/minipc agents pointed at a
backend that didn't recognise their token retried thousands of times; discovery
abstained for every guest as a result.)
- agentexec/server.go: the registration-rejection message the agent logs
verbatim now says 'agent token not authorized for command execution — re-run
the agent installer to enroll an agent:exec-scoped token'.
- api/agent_exec_token_binding.go: the previously-silent token-not-recognised
branch now logs the specific reason with the agent hostname.
Contract-neutral: same rejection behaviour, just legible. Regression test:
TestHandleWebSocket_RejectionMessageIsActionable. Verified live end-to-end.
Per maintainer decision: the cloud-context-privacy feature was bloat. The real
fix for the "useless Assistant on cloud" problem was the earlier sensitivity
recalibration (ordinary workloads = Internal, not redacted); the dial layered a
configurable knob on top of an already-solved problem, guarding mostly-non-secret
data on a destination the operator opted into, and demanded every model-bound path
stay dial-aware (a standing leak surface). The privacy control users actually
understand is the choice of model — cloud provider vs. local Ollama.
Removed entirely:
- AIConfig.CloudContextPrivacy dial + constants + GetCloudContextPrivacy /
NormalizeCloudContextPrivacy, AND the now-dead legacy
ShareOperationalContextWithCloud boolean + ShouldShareOperationalContextWithCloud
(internal/config/ai.go); the config-load migration (persistence.go).
- Both fields from the /api/settings/ai request/response, validation, and sync
(ai_handlers.go) + the JSON contract snapshots.
- The "Cloud model privacy" 3-option UI control, form field, presentation copy,
and CloudContextPrivacy type (frontend), plus their tests.
- The dial branching in the seam: chat/service.go cloudPrivacyLevel,
CloudContextPolicy.Level + local_only suppression + the localOnly directive
(context_prefetch.go), the inventory resourceLabel dial logic (resource_context*),
and the modelboundary RedactLocalOnlyResourcesOnly option.
Fixed lean posture (no setting): a cloud-routed model receives real infrastructure
context, with two always-on invariants enforced by the model-boundary sanitizer —
credentials are always stripped, and local-only/Restricted resources (the floor)
never leave the local trust boundary. Local (Ollama) always full. The sanitizer's
default is now the local-only floor; it remains the universal backstop installed on
EVERY model-bound path (chat, session compaction, discovery/report/analysis via the
shared helper). Kept the two standalone fixes from this effort: compaction now
routes through the sanitizer, and directives no longer inject the "redacted by
policy" placeholder.
Governance: ai-runtime contract rewritten to a fixed-posture rule; api-contracts /
frontend-primitives / agent-lifecycle / storage-recovery dial references removed.
Tests updated to the floor-only behavior (local-only redacted, Sensitive flows,
secrets stripped). Full internal/ai/..., config, api suites green; frontend
type-check + tests + lint green.
Introduce the single privacy dial that will govern what infrastructure context
cloud models may see, replacing the binary share_operational_context_with_cloud
toggle as the canonical operator control. This increment adds and surfaces the
setting; it does not change the redaction seam (that is increment 2).
Config (internal/config/ai.go): add AIConfig.CloudContextPrivacy with the
full|redacted|local_only levels, default "full", plus NormalizeCloudContextPrivacy
and the nil-safe GetCloudContextPrivacy getter. NewDefaultAIConfig defaults a fresh
self-hosted install to "full" so the Assistant answers with real resource detail
out of the box. The legacy ShareOperationalContextWithCloud boolean is retained as
the field the redaction seam still reads until it is wired into the dial directly.
Migration (internal/config/persistence.go): LoadAIConfig derives the dial from the
legacy toggle for pre-dial configs (legacy on -> full, off/absent -> redacted) and
persists it, leaving the legacy boolean untouched so existing installs keep their
current cloud behavior byte-for-byte. Fresh installs (no config file) default to full.
API (internal/api/ai_handlers.go): round-trip cloud_context_privacy through
/api/settings/ai field-by-field like discovery_enabled. The response always
serializes GetCloudContextPrivacy() (no omitempty) so the UI binds a 3-option
control to the concrete value; the update request carries an optional *string
validated against NormalizeCloudContextPrivacy (unknown values -> 400). When the
dial is provided it supersedes and re-syncs the legacy boolean (full -> true,
redacted/local_only -> false) so the existing seam honors the dial's full/redacted
axis without new redaction code paths.
Frontend: replace the binary "Share operational context with cloud models" toggle
with a "Cloud model privacy" 3-option FormSelect in AIRuntimeControlsSection.tsx,
bound to state.form.cloudContextPrivacy and the cloud_context_privacy payload via
useAISettingsState. CloudContextPrivacy type + payload fields in types/ai.ts;
label/help/option/summary copy in aiSettingsPresentation.ts.
Governance (ai-runtime + frontend-primitives substantive deltas; dependent
api-contracts, agent-lifecycle, storage-recovery notes): the contracts now name the
dial as canonical with the legacy boolean as the synced/migrated seam field.
Proofs: ai_config_test.go (getter/normalize/default), persistence_ai_test.go
(migration cases), ai_handlers_test.go (round-trip + legacy sync + 400),
contract_test.go JSON snapshots, settingsArchitecture + aiSettingsPresentation tests.
Live-verified in the preview drawer: dial renders with all three levels, the
migrated value (redacted) is selected, the summary updates reactively, and an
end-to-end UI save round-trips full (legacy sync true) then restores redacted.
Wire AIConfig.ShareOperationalContextWithCloud through /api/settings/ai so the
existing chat-path opt-in (commit 32d597267) is operator-reachable, not
config-file-only.
Backend (internal/api/ai_handlers.go): add share_operational_context_with_cloud
to the AI settings response (always serialized so a toggle can bind to the
concrete value) and to the update request as an optional *bool, applied
field-by-field exactly like discovery_enabled (omitted = persisted opt-in
unchanged).
Frontend: add a 'Share operational context with cloud models' toggle to the
Assistant runtime controls, bound to the canonical useAISettingsState form and
the api/ai.ts AISettings/AISettingsUpdateRequest payload. Help/summary copy
(PII-free scope, hostnames/IPs/aliases stay redacted, default off, local Ollama
always gets full context) lives in aiSettingsPresentation.ts.
Governance: substantive ai-runtime + frontend-primitives deltas plus
dependent-contract notes (api-contracts, agent-lifecycle, storage-recovery);
path-policy proofs in ai_handlers_test.go (round-trip), settingsArchitecture
and aiSettingsPresentation tests. JSON snapshot contracts updated for the new
always-serialized field.
Use neutral assistant wait status while keeping selected model route metadata visible. Make transient retry copy explicit that Pulse retries the selected route rather than switching providers.
