Pre-fix, every dashcaddy-api container startup logged:
[nesting-guard] Skipped: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
because src/utilities/nesting-guard.js does require('../config/paths') and
calls paths.dataDir — but src/config/paths.js imported platformPaths and
only re-exported its specific files (SERVICES_FILE, CONFIG_FILE, etc);
dataDir was never re-exported, so paths.dataDir was undefined.
Result: path.join(undefined, 'data') threw TypeError, the outer try/catch
swallowed it, and the entire nesting-guard became a silent no-op. The
cleanup that prevents recursive data/data/data/... directory duplicates
never ran on any startup. Bug class is 'silent functional no-op' (same
family as DC-056 AggregateError visibility).
(1) src/config/paths.js (+11): re-export dataDir as
SERVICES_DIR-derived (with platformPaths.dataDir fallback). dataDir is
the dirname of SERVICES_FILE in container (env override wins), which
equals /app/data — same value platform-paths.dataDir computes for the
default config. Either path is fine; SERVICES_DIR is preferred because it
respects env-override.
(2) src/utilities/nesting-guard.js (+13/-2): defensive fallback to
require('../../platform-paths').dataDir if paths.dataDir is missing
(any future export-shape drift or older caller). Explicit skip-warn
instead of silent catch when both paths fail.
(3) __tests__/nesting-guard.test.js (NEW, 112 lines, 4/4 passing):
isolates module cache per test, exercises (a) cleanup when nested
data/data exists, (b) no-op when clean, (c) dataDir export contract,
(d) dataDir === dirname(SERVICES_FILE) under env override. No jest.doMock
leaks across tests (verified via 4-call probe sequence).
Verified: 4/4 tests passing. Full repo suite: 100/104 suites / 2335/2335
tests passing (4 pre-existing failures in __tests__/billing/* are
unrelated module-resolution issues in src/billing/invoice.js, confirmed
unaffected by this change via stash+rerun).
GLM-5.3 round 1: B (ship, one polish nit — trailing newline on test
file, folded in same commit per multi-round-fix-first protocol).
Deploy plan: container rebuild + atomic swap via /opt/dashcaddy/start.sh
on DNS2; live-verify status.sami=200, dashcaddy-api=Up+healthy, and
absence of [nesting-guard] Skipped log line in container logs.
AI Intent Router:
- Wired /api/v1/ai/intent and /api/v1/ai/capabilities into app.js
- Pattern matching works offline, no API key needed
- Handles: deploy, recommend, diagnose, backup, health, list
- AI chat floating button on dashboard (🤖)
- Suggestion chips: Deploy Plex, Stream movies, Block ads, System health
- Deploy buttons in chat launch the app selector
TOTP Fix:
- secureFetch() was missing credentials: same-origin
- Session cookie was not being sent on API calls
- Added credentials: same-origin to all fetch calls
- Users no longer prompted for TOTP on every action
Nesting Guard:
- Fixed logging module path (../utils/logging not ./logging)
- Switched to console.log to avoid module export mismatch
MCP Server:
- 551-line JSON-RPC server ready at src/mcp/mcp-server.js
- Configurable via DASHCADDY_URL + DASHCADDY_API_KEY env vars
- Cleaned 242MB of recursive data/data/data/ nesting
- Added nesting-guard.js: auto-detects and removes recursive duplicates at startup
- Wired VM sandbox cleanup into uninstall wizard (calls vmDestroy before regular uninstall)
- Container stats, health data, and VM disk all cleaned on uninstall
