Three user-facing notification features were silently dead from contract
drift between the settings UI and the backend:
1. SMTP auth never applied: the UI sent email.user/email.pass while the
manager read username/password. Route now normalizes aliases; legacy
config files canonicalize at load.
2. Event toggles were cosmetic: UI sent camelCase keys (containerDown),
the send() gate read kebab-case ('container-down'). EVENT_ALIASES now
folds every known spelling (manager gate, route store, legacy files);
UI sends and reads canonical keys.
3. Deploy/auto-restart notifications always dropped: deploy-success/
deploy-failed/auto-restart were missing from DEFAULT events, and
send('test') was itself gated -> the Test button was a no-op. Defaults
added; 'test' bypasses the gate.
Also: strict boolean contract (string 'false' for secure/enabled rejected
— previously coerced truthy, silently forcing TLS), SMTP port bounds,
non-destructive credential merge (blank password no longer clobbers the
stored one), GET /config returns port/secure/to/username + hasPassword
(password never returned), full form prefill + keep-hint placeholder.
Verified live pre-fix: send('test')/'deploymentSuccess'/'auto-restart'
all returned 'not enabled'. Post-fix: +20 tests (route + manager),
full suite 2641/2641 (112 suites).
Judge: GLM-5.3 cold read via delegate_task (deleg_ad765d63), grade B,
ship, zero blockers; judge independently ran the DC-092 suites (38/38).
Polish #1 (canonical event for provider titles) folded in. Remaining
emitters with the same gate-miss class (recipeRemoved, workflow,
ssl-cert-expiry, dns-propagation, drift-detected, dependency-restart-*)
noted for a follow-up tick.
Adds a dedicated dashboard surface for host journald logs (caddy, docker,
dashcaddy-api, ssh, ...) via a read-only bind-mount of /var/log/journal +
journalctl. Closes queue item #2: the only way to see the recurring
'100.120.159.34:5000 i/o timeout' spam in Caddy's health_checker logs was
SSH into DNS2.
Backend (dashcaddy-api/):
- src/monitoring/journald-reader.js (NEW, ~320 lines) wraps journalctl
with allow-listed unit names (caddy, docker, dashcaddy-api, ssh,
systemd-journald, tailscaled, networkd-dispatcher), validates
since/until/search before argv assembly, and uses spawn() with an argv
array (no shell). Clamps tail at MAX_TAIL_LINES=5000 and stdout at
MAX_OUTPUT_BUFFER=2MB; streaming also caps at MAX_STREAM_LINES=5000
via a closure-scoped counter. Maps ENOENT cleanly to 'journalctl
unavailable'.
- routes/logs.js (+102 lines): three new routes mounted under the
existing auth-gated apiRouter: GET /api/v1/logs/journal/units,
GET /api/v1/logs/journal (bounded tail read), and GET
/api/v1/logs/journal/stream (SSE). Stream route pre-validates unit
with assertUnitAllowed BEFORE writing SSE headers so an invalid unit
returns 400 JSON instead of an open stream with an error frame.
- 41 new tests across 2 files covering allow-list enforcement, shell-meta
rejection in unit/since/until/search, MAX_OUTPUT_BUFFER cap, ENOENT
mapping, non-zero exit stderr surfacing, and route-level 400-on-bad-unit.
Full local suite 1831/1831 (+41 net).
Container plumbing (start.sh):
- Two new bind mounts:
-v /var/log/journal:/var/log/journal:ro
-v /usr/bin/journalctl:/usr/bin/journalctl:ro
Bind-mount chosen over privileged systemd-journal remote to keep the
container unprivileged and the journal access read-only.
Frontend (status/js/):
- journald.js (NEW, ~285 lines) self-contained modal mirroring the
existing Container Logs modal. SSE via EventSource, debounced search
(200ms), overflow hint when stream cap is hit, unit dropdown from a
fixed allow-list that mirrors the backend. Hooked via the new
'#view-journald-logs' button in the Tools dropdown (next to Container
Logs).
- build.js (+4 lines) adds journald.js to the features bundle. Bundle
rebuild succeeded (features.js 27 files, 466 KB raw / 1229 KB min).
CSP hash unchanged (no inline script changes).
GLM judge (round 1, 178s, 14 tool calls, cold diff + 8 file reads):
GRADE=B. Shell injection fully defended (all four attacker inputs
rejected before spawn). Route-level allow-list holds (streamEntries not
called for bad unit). SSE cleanup correct. Round-2 fix-first applied
same commit: the round-1 stream's 5000-line cap was dead code (counter
on function object never incremented) moved to closure scope and now
actually fires. Also dropped deprecated req.on('aborted') listener
(Node 18+ fires 'close' for both clean and abort).
Container live HEAD 901df86 [glm-grade=B]; deploy via start.sh atomic
swap. Live verify: status.sami=200, container Up + healthy, the new
bundle and index.html served.
Backend (dashcaddy-api/routes/errorlogs.js):
- GET /error-logs: server-side filter chain (level, context substring,
free-text search across error/context/detail/IP, ISO since/until),
real pagination via limit/offset with hasMore reporting, MAX_LIMIT=500
clamp, newest-first sort.
- New endpoint GET /error-logs/contexts returns distinct contexts with
occurrence counts for the frontend dropdown.
- Robust entry parser handles malformed blocks as raw entries so nothing
silently disappears from the operator's view.
- DELETE /error-logs requires { confirm: 'CLEAR' } body and audits the
wipe itself (mirrors DC-050 hardening).
- DC-052 fix: removed legacy /audit-logs GET/DELETE handlers that lived
here before DC-050. errorLogsRoutes is mounted in src/app.js (L733)
BEFORE auditLogRoutes (L789), so Express router.use() semantics meant
the legacy proxies shadowed DC-050's hardened versions — DELETE
without confirm=CLEAR would silently wipe the audit log, and
/audit-logs/actions was unreachable. The hardened routes/audit-log.js
is now the single source of truth.
Frontend (status/js/error-logs.js):
- Level / Context / Search / Since / Until filter row mirroring the
audit-log UI (DC-050).
- Load More pagination with abort-on-filter-change.
- Click-to-expand stack frames in <pre> with scroll-cap.
- Contexts dropdown populated from /error-logs/contexts (refreshes on
every modal open and after a clear).
- confirm=CLEAR clear with success/error notification.
Tests (__tests__/routes/errorlogs.routes.test.js — 20 cases, all pass):
- Endpoint shape, newest-first, level/context/search/since/until filters,
invalid-since + unknown-level 400s, pagination + hasMore, MAX_LIMIT
clamp, /contexts distinct list, confirm=CLEAR gating + audit emission,
missing-file empty results, malformed entry fallback, /contexts
missing-file empty, search-by-IP, huge since/until, combined filters.
Full suite: 86 suites / 1910 tests, all green.
GLM judge round 1 (372s, 50 tool calls): grade D — HIGH audit-log
shadowing + MEDIUM coverage gaps + LOW tofu glyph.
GLM judge round 2 (114s, 25 tool calls): grade A — all findings fixed,
no new regressions, ship recommendation: ship.
Service categories (described in README roadmap, never wired):
- Backend: POST /services now persists category/containerId/port/ip/tailscaleOnly
- Backend: POST /services/update accepts category for in-place changes
- Frontend: category <select> in add-service modal (local + external)
- Frontend: category <select> in edit-service modal with current value
- Frontend: All Categories dropdown in service filter bar (auto-populated
from both API categories and any categories present on rendered cards)
- Frontend: colored category badge (icon + name) on service cards
- Frontend: filter auto-refreshes after buildGrid
Monitoring on main dashboard (replaces orphaned monitoring-dashboard.html):
- New monitoring-widgets.js embeds a 5-card System Overview panel above
the filter bar: Services, Containers Up, Avg CPU, Avg Memory, Health
- Pulls /api/v1/monitoring/stats + /api/v1/health-checks/status
- Auto-refreshes on DC.POLL.STATS (5s), color-coded bars (warn >=65%, bad >=85%)
Build:
- Added monitoring-widgets.js to init.js bundle in build.js
- Rebuilt dist/ bundles (core.js, features.js, init.js)
- sw.js cache version bumped automatically
- CSP hash regenerated
Three merge-fallout bugs that combined to leave the services grid empty
and most UI inert:
1. error-handler.js was bundled into onboarding.js (loaded 3rd), but
globals.js in core.js (loaded 1st) does `const errorHandler = new
ErrorHandler()` at top level. ErrorHandler was undefined when core.js
ran -> ReferenceError -> globals.js stopped, so window.APPS,
_showTotpOverlay, loadServices, etc. were never set, and init.js
blew up on every call into core's exports.
Moved error-handler.js to the start of the core.js bundle so the
class is on window before any other script touches it.
2. setup-wizard.js also declared `const errorHandler = new ErrorHandler()`
at top level. Classic scripts share the document's top-level lexical
environment, so this collided with globals.js's declaration ->
redeclaration SyntaxError in features.js. Removed setup-wizard.js's
copy; it picks up the global one.
3. tooltip-definitions.js closed its `(function(window){...})(window);`
IIFE at line ~171 ("Validation module loaded"), then the TOOLTIP_
DEFINITIONS array, getter helpers, window.TooltipDefinitions export,
and final `debug(...)` log all sat at top level — outside the IIFE,
where `debug` was no longer in scope. Removed the early close and
added one at EOF so the whole file is in one IIFE.

Cloud backups (Dropbox / WebDAV / SFTP):
- backup-manager.js: save + load handlers per provider, credential
resolution via credentialManager, destination probe.
- routes/backups.js: /credentials/{provider} (masked GET, POST, DELETE),
/test-destination, scheduling endpoints.
- status/js/backup-restore.js: destination picker, provider-specific
credential forms, test button wired to backend probe.
- npm deps already present (dropbox 10.34.0, webdav 5.7.1,
ssh2-sftp-client 11.0.0).
Resource history:
- resource-monitor.js: three-tier rollup storage — raw 10s samples
(7-day retention), hourly rollups (30-day), daily rollups
(365-day). getHistoryByRange() auto-selects the appropriate tier.
- routes/monitoring.js: /monitoring/history/:containerId now supports
startTime/endTime range mode (legacy ?hours=N still works).
- status/js/resource-monitor.js + dashboard.css: "History" tab with
range buttons (1h/24h/7d/30d/1y), SVG sparklines for
CPU / memory / network. Renderer handles raw and rolled-up shapes.
status/dist/features.js rebuilt from source via build.js.
Lifted out of wip/cloud-backups-and-history; the half-finished
app-deps feature from that branch (frontend calls /api/v1/apps/
check-dependencies but the endpoint doesn't exist) is preserved
separately on wip/app-deps for later.
