* feat(nodes): add capability-based node compatibility negotiation Each Sencho instance now exposes /api/meta with its version and supported capabilities. When the user switches nodes, the frontend fetches this metadata and disables features the remote node doesn't support via a CapabilityGate overlay. Version is shown in the node switcher dropdown and connection test results. - Backend: CapabilityRegistry with static capability list and fetchRemoteMeta helper - Backend: /api/meta (public) and /api/nodes/:id/meta (auth) endpoints - Frontend: NodeContext enhanced with per-node meta caching (5min TTL) - Frontend: CapabilityGate component with typed Capability union - Frontend: 13 features wrapped with capability gates - Docs: node-compatibility.mdx + OpenAPI spec updates * fix(nodes): revert to require() for package.json version reading The static import fails in the Docker multi-stage build because the root package.json is not copied into the backend-builder stage. The require() call resolves at runtime when the file is available.

Quick Start
services:
sencho:
image: saelix/sencho:latest
container_name: sencho
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "3000:3000"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- ./data:/app/data
# 1:1 Compose Path Rule: host path MUST match container path
- /opt/docker:/opt/docker
environment:
- COMPOSE_DIR=/opt/docker
- DATA_DIR=/app/data
docker compose up -d
Then open http://your-server:3000 and create your admin account.
See the full documentation for configuration details, multi-node setup, and more.
Development
# Backend (Express + TypeScript)
cd backend && npm install && npm run dev
# Frontend (React + Vite)
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev
The frontend dev server proxies /api requests to the backend on port 3000.
