Anso 2d56ea958a fix(stack-activity): per-stack history integrity, attribution, sanitization (#1228)
* fix(stack-activity): per-stack history integrity, attribution, sanitization

Address the Stack Activity audit findings (PR 1 of 2):

- Per-stack history integrity: drop the per-insert 100-row prune in
  addNotificationHistory that evicted quieter stacks' history whenever
  another stack got chatty. Periodic cleanupOldNotifications now caps
  per (node, stack) at 500 rows and per-node unattached system events
  at 1000 rows, on top of the existing 30-day retention. Signature
  takes an options bag and returns a per-stage summary so MonitorService
  can log what actually ran each cycle.

- Actor attribution: thread req.user?.username through every
  notifyActionFailure call site and add synthetic actors at service
  emit sites (system:autoheal, system:scheduler, system:image-update,
  system:docker-events, system:blueprint, system:monitor, system:policy).
  The timeline renders system actors as "via <Label>" so an autoheal
  redeploy is no longer indistinguishable from a user redeploy.

- Message sanitization: new sanitizeNotificationMessage at
  NotificationService.dispatchAlert strips KEY=VALUE pairs whose key
  ends in TOKEN/KEY/PASSWORD/SECRET/CREDENTIALS/AUTH, scrubs HTTP basic
  auth in URLs and Bearer tokens, collapses COMPOSE_DIR paths, and
  truncates to 1000 chars. Applied to the stored history and to every
  downstream Discord/Slack/webhook channel. The ImageUpdateService
  recovery-path direct DB write also runs through the sanitizer.

- Composite pagination cursor: getStackActivity now accepts a
  (timestamp, id) cursor (?before=&beforeId=). The legacy timestamp-only
  form silently dropped events when a single compose up emitted many
  events sharing one millisecond. Route rejects beforeId without before.

- Frontend hardening: distinct error state with retry button (initial
  fetch failure no longer renders as the genuine empty state), strict
  positive-integer parsing on cursor params, overrequest-by-1 pagination
  so the last page does not leave a dead "Load more" click, runtime
  guard on liveEvents merge that validates the level union, per-minute
  day-bucket recompute so an open panel does not stay on "Today" past
  midnight.

No tier, role, or capability gate touched. Route permission gate
remains stack:read on the named stack.

* fix(stack-activity): sanitizer covers lowercase env vars and per-node compose dir

External review surfaced two leak paths in the message sanitizer:

- The sensitive-key regex was uppercase-only. Compose env names are
  conventionally uppercase but lowercase forms (db_password, jwt_secret,
  github_token) are valid and do leak through the same Docker and
  compose-parse error paths. Make the regex case-insensitive and tighten
  it to also catch bare TOKEN= / KEY= / PASSWORD= without a prefix word,
  while still leaving BYPASS, COMPASS, and similar non-secret keys alone.

- The compose-dir path collapse only read process.env.COMPOSE_DIR, but
  the real resolution chain is node.compose_dir (per-node DB override)
  -> process.env.COMPOSE_DIR -> /app/compose. A node with a custom
  compose_dir could still leak absolute paths into stored history and
  downstream channels. Route both the dispatchAlert call and the
  ImageUpdateService recovery-path direct write through
  NodeRegistry.getInstance().getComposeDir(localNodeId) so the
  collapse covers every resolution outcome.

Tests now assert lowercase keys are redacted and that BYPASS-style
non-secrets stay intact in both cases. notification-routing mock
extended to stub the new getComposeDir call.

* chore(stack-activity): a11y roles, visibility-aware tick, live-disconnect signal

Close three small follow-ups on the per-stack activity timeline:

- A11y: each day-group gets role="list" and each event row gets
  role="listitem" so screen readers traverse the timeline as a list
  instead of a wall of text. The day-group container also carries an
  aria-label naming the bucket.

- Visibility-aware day-bucket tick: the 60s setInterval that re-derives
  Today/Yesterday/Earlier now short-circuits when document.hidden, so a
  backgrounded panel does not re-render every minute for no visible
  effect.

- Live-disconnect signal: useNotifications dispatches a
  sencho:notifications-connection custom event on WebSocket open and
  close. The timeline listens and, when explicitly disconnected, shows
  a one-line "Live updates offline; reconnecting…" hint above the list.
  The sidebar ticker already surfaces fleet-wide connection state; this
  adds an in-context cue for users who are focused on a single stack.

Stack-name case normalization was considered and rejected: stack names
are case-permissive per the isValidStackName validator, and lowercasing
on read or write would silently rename or hide a user's "MyApp" stack.

* ci(stack-activity): drop unnecessary escape in URL_BASIC_AUTH regex

ESLint no-useless-escape errored on \- inside the character class
[a-zA-Z0-9+.\-] at notificationMessage.ts:14. Move the dash to the
end of the class so it's an unambiguous literal and the escape is no
longer required. Behavior is identical; sanitizer tests still pass.

* revert(stack-activity): drop unvalidated E2E spec from this PR

The spec was committed without ever running against a real Docker
daemon, then failed in CI when it ran for the first time: deploy
returned 200 but no notification appeared on the activity endpoint
within the polling window, suggesting either a deploy-notification
race or a node-id resolution mismatch in the CI environment.

Backend unit tests (route + composite cursor + sanitizer) and
frontend component tests cover the same logic. The E2E spec will
land in a dedicated follow-up once it has been authored against a
working CI environment.
