README: rewrite to lead with differentiation rather than a flat
feature list. Add "Why Sencho?" section covering the four key
competitive advantages (Pilot Agent NAT traversal, auto-heal
self-healing, atomic deployments, automation-first model). Expand
feature coverage from 8 bullets to six grouped domains reflecting
the full 38-feature surface. Add architecture note, docker run
one-liner, tier comparison table (Community/Skipper/Admiral), and
docs link section. Drop stale CI badge; add Docker Pulls badge.
CONTRIBUTING: add project layout reference, tier-gate usage guide,
TypeScript strictness reminder, and pointer to CLAUDE.md for full
coding standards.
SECURITY: update supported versions table from stale "0.2.x+" to
current "latest release" policy with a note on self-hosted update
cadence.
Updates the backend listen port, Vite dev proxy target, Docker EXPOSE,
compose port mapping, .env.example default, GitHub Actions smoke-test
default, healthcheck URLs, and every doc/example reference. Test fixtures
that include example URLs were updated for consistency, though their
assertions are port-agnostic.
The rate-limit value of 3000 in middleware/rateLimiters.ts and the
3000 entry in WEB_UI_PORTS (which detects user containers like Grafana)
are intentionally untouched.
Audit cleanup of CHANGELOG.md accumulated over 43 releases:
- Delete 23 orphaned `[Unreleased]` sections. Release-please does not
consolidate manually-added Unreleased content into the next release, so
each previous contributor's notes were left stranded between release
blocks. The auto-generated release sections above each orphan already
captured the commits.
- Sanitize internal implementation details that should not be in a
public changelog: internal service/class/middleware names, library
names, container file paths, internal endpoint paths, exact rate-limit
thresholds, encryption primitives, and CVE/version-specific remediation
details.
- Normalize tier naming throughout: legacy "Team Pro" / "Personal Pro" /
"Sencho Pro" / "(Pro)" references rewritten to "Skipper" / "Admiral" /
"Skipper and Admiral" per current product tiering.
- Deduplicate the v0.39.0 bulk dump and other sections where
release-please swept the same commit subjects in multiple times.
- Rewrite the v0.1.0 section from a raw engineering log (with file
paths, attack payloads, and internal module names) into user-facing
release notes organised by Security / Added / Fixed / Changed /
Removed.
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md to tell contributors not to edit CHANGELOG.md
directly, matching the actual release-please flow. This is the root
cause that created the 23 orphan Unreleased sections in the first
place.
Verification:
- `## [Unreleased]` count: 0
- Legacy tier name count: 0
- Internal service/library name count: 0
- CVE IDs: 0
- File shrunk from 1,599 to 901 lines
* feat: add RBAC viewer accounts, atomic deployments, and fleet-wide backups (Pro)
Introduces three Pro-tier features:
- RBAC: Multi-user system with admin/viewer roles, user management UI,
automatic migration from single-admin credentials, viewer restrictions
across the entire UI (read-only editor, hidden action buttons)
- Atomic Deployments: Pre-deploy file backup to .sencho-backup/, automatic
rollback on health probe failure, manual rollback button, health probes
added to stack updates, webhook-triggered deploys use atomic rollback
- Fleet-Wide Backups: Point-in-time snapshots of compose files across all
nodes (local + remote), stored centrally in SQLite, per-stack restore
with optional redeploy, graceful handling of offline nodes
* fix(settings): use correct ProGate prop name in UsersSection
* fix(settings): remove unused isPro prop from UsersSection
* fix(auth): fetch user info after login and setup so isAdmin is set correctly
* feat(pricing): revise pricing strategy and enforce variant-based seat limits
Raise Personal Pro from $49/yr to $69/yr with 3 viewer seats (up from 1).
Add $15/mo billing option for Team Pro. Mark lifetime pricing as a
90-day early-adopter offer. Store Lemon Squeezy variant_name on
activation/validation and enforce seat limits server-side per variant.
* feat(licensing): add Lemon Squeezy checkout, webhook, and billing portal integration
Server-side checkout URL generation (POST /api/checkout) with admin email
pre-fill and instance_id custom data. HMAC-SHA256 verified webhook endpoint
(POST /api/webhooks/lemonsqueezy) handling order, subscription, and payment
lifecycle events for automatic license activation. Customer billing portal
link stored from webhook events and exposed via GET /api/billing/portal.
In-app checkout buttons in Settings with manual license key fallback.
* fix(licensing): exempt Lemon Squeezy webhook from auth middleware
The catch-all auth middleware on /api/* was blocking the public webhook
endpoint. Added /webhooks/lemonsqueezy to the exemption list alongside
/auth/* and /webhooks/:id/trigger.
* feat(pricing): update pricing to final live rates
Personal Pro: $7.99/month, $69.99/year, $249 lifetime.
Team Pro: $49.99/month, $499.99/year, $1,499 lifetime.
Added personal_monthly checkout variant across backend, frontend, and website.
* refactor(licensing): remove server-side checkout/webhook for self-hosted model
Sencho is self-hosted — each user runs their own instance, so there is
no central server to receive webhooks or hold the store API key. Replaced
in-app checkout buttons with a "View Pricing" redirect to sencho.io and
kept manual license key activation as the primary flow.
- Delete LemonSqueezyService (checkout, webhook, HMAC verification)
- Remove POST /api/checkout, GET /api/billing/portal, POST /api/webhooks/lemonsqueezy
- Remove raw body parser and auth exemption for webhook route
- Remove all LEMONSQUEEZY_* env vars from .env.example
- Replace checkout buttons in SettingsModal with single "View Pricing" button
- Simplify LicenseContext checkout to open sencho.io pricing page
- Update licensing docs to reflect website-based purchase flow
