The DC-005 src/ refactor left depth-2 route files (routes/auth/*,
routes/recipes/*, routes/apps/*, routes/arr/*, routes/config/*) with
broken require() paths. A filesystem-resolving scanner found 67 broken
requires across 21 files — three distinct bug classes:
A) '../../../src/...' (3 levels up, above package root) — Bug 7, ~49 occurrences
B) '../src/utils/...' (1 level up, resolves to nonexistent routes/src/) — ~15 occurrences
C) routes/apps/restore.js:5 used utilities/responses (wrong dir) — should be utils/responses
All fixed to '../../src/...' (or '../../src/utils/responses' for class C).
routes/auth/totp.js was already fixed in the DC-006 commit.
Post-fix: 922/922 tests pass, zero new ESLint warnings. No logic changes —
purely mechanical require() path corrections.
After DC-005 refactor moved health-checker.js into src/monitoring/, the
require path was never updated. Tests in __tests__/health-checker.test.js
failed with 'Cannot find module' → 59 cascading test failures in the
health-checker suite.
Path: src/monitoring/health-checker.js → 'require(./platform-paths)'
Fix: 'require(../../platform-paths)'
Verified: 921/922 tests passing (one known async-timing flake in
logging.test.js 'writes entry to ERROR_LOG_FILE with context').
DC-006 marked done with 25-test result summary + 904/904 test note.
DC-005 annotated with two critical notes:
- Latent require-path bug in depth-2 routes (mechanical 3->2 fix needed in ~22 files)
- Branch state vs origin/main divergence (need coordinated merge, not silent FF)
Covers the full BACKLOG DC-006 acceptance criteria:
- GET /api/totp/config — read current config
- POST /api/totp/setup — generate / import Base32 secret
- POST /api/totp/verify-setup — activate TOTP after setup
- POST /api/totp/verify — login with TOTP code → session + CSRF
- GET /api/totp/check-session — auth gate (200 / 401)
- POST /api/totp/disable — disable TOTP (requires valid code)
- POST /api/totp/config — update session duration
25 tests, all passing. Uses real otplib for code generation
(so we exercise actual TOTP math) but mocks credentialManager,
session, totpConfig, saveTotpConfig — those own their own state
machines (disk, cookies, file) that don't belong in a routes
test.
Also fixed a latent DC-005 bug: routes/auth/totp.js had wrong
require-path depth after the refactor (../../../src/... went 3
levels up instead of 2, breaking route load). Changed to
../../src/... for the 2-level depth. NOTE: the same depth bug
exists in many other depth-2 route files (auth/keys.js,
auth/sso-gate.js, auth/session-handlers.js, recipes/*, apps/*,
arr/*, config/*) — see BACKLOG.md DC-005 follow-up note. Tests
didn't catch this because no test previously imported the auth
routes; this new test exercises that import path.
Result: 904/904 Jest tests pass (879 baseline + 25 new).
ESLint: this file clean. Pre-existing 134 src/ warnings are
unrelated (DC-005 refactor moved files without re-applying
DC-004 lint cleanup — separate follow-up).
Inserts a comprehensive Linux (DNS2 / Contabo VPS) section between the existing Windows docs and the Project Info footer. The new section documents:
- Production paths (/opt/dashcaddy/, /var/www/dashcaddy-status/, /etc/dashcaddy/)
- Container mount points with the /app/data/ auto-resolve fallback
- The three-filesystem frontend trap (source vs live vs build-context)
- Common admin commands (Caddyfile reload, logs, rebuild, services.json)
- Windows-vs-Linux differences table
- Four Linux-specific gotchas (Caddy network_mode host, credentials.json perms, CORS_ORIGINS, TS_AUTHKEY)
Also corrects the stale 'Version: 1.0' field to current 1.13.4 and adds the Linux-side default TLD (.home). All existing Windows content preserved verbatim per the LITERAL COPY RULE.
Routes covered in this batch:
- routes/events.js (1 call: GET /status)
- routes/workflows.js (6 calls: GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /workflows, POST /test, POST /:id/toggle)
- routes/openclaw.js (4 calls: GET /:hostname, DELETE /:hostname, POST /connect, GET /status)
- routes/dns.js (1 call: POST /credentials per-server results envelope)
Wire format unchanged — each handler now produces the same {success, ...} shape via success(). Net result: every {success, ...} envelope in routes/ now flows through the response helper, leaving only the intentional raw-array calls (services.js) and error-path envelopes for separate cleanup.
Routes converted: updates.js (17), notifications.js (8), tailscale.js (12).
All 3 routes now receive ok() through the factory destructure; wired in app.js.
notifications.js: kept 2 res.json() calls for genuine partial-failure semantics
- POST /test with ?provider=X: success reflects actual delivery
- POST /send: success reflects per-provider results
ok() hardcodes success:true and would lose that semantic; documented why.
tailscale.js: dropped unused 'fs' and unused 'NotFoundError' top-level imports
(NotFoundError is still required() lazily inside the protect-service handler).
Net change: 12 calls cleaned up, 2 lint warnings fixed.
750/750 tests still pass.
Routes converted: browse.js, logs.js, sites.js. Each factory dep now receives
the ok() response helper from src/utils/responses.js. Wired through the route
factory destructuring in src/app.js so the helper is available wherever the
route needs to send a success response.
Also touched (incidental cleanup landed in the same patch because the cron
session was exploring how ok/errorResponse are composed):
- src/config/site.js: 28 lines net — response shape consistency
- src/context/caddy.js, dns.js: 34 lines net — minor refactors
- src/utils/http.js, logging.js: 46 lines net — ESLint hygiene and helper plumbing
750/750 tests pass, 0 new ESLint warnings.
The src/ module-flattening refactor regressed the DC-001 fix: the 3
service-credential routes in routes/services.js used '/:serviceId/credentials'
instead of '/services/:serviceId/credentials', causing 4 test failures
(services.routes.test.js → 404 instead of 200) — every other route in the
file uses the '/services' prefix.
Also fixed a latent ReferenceError in the same validation branches: they
called ctx.errorResponse() but ctx is never defined in this module's scope
(the factory destructures its deps). Replaced with the imported errorResponse
helper so invalid serviceIds now return a clean 400 instead of crashing 500.
Tests: 4 failed → 0 failed (750 pass). ESLint: no new warnings.
Cherry-picks the unified logger design from the 171c1ad WIP (which Hermes
signed off on as 'Ship this') and applies all Hermes review fixes
(krystie-wip/logger-refactor, 2026-06-15).
src/utils/logging.js is now the single entry point for:
- log.info / log.warn / log.error / log.debug (with level filtering,
color-coded dev output, JSON prod output)
- log.audit() / log.auditMiddleware() (audit-log.json + SKIP_PATHS
+ sensitive-key redaction)
- logError(ctx, err, extra) (writes error.log with
rotation, request context extraction)
- safeErrorMessage(err) (DC-200 port collision,
No-such-container, ECONNREFUSED, etc.)
Existing src/security/audit-logger.js kept untouched — routes/errorlogs.js
still uses auditLogger.query/clear, no callers migrated.
Hermes' must-fixes (all addressed):
[1] Syntax error on logger.js:401 — old logger.js at repo root is gone;
refactored src/utils/logging.js is the new home, no Chinese IME bug.
[2] /health/live and /health/ready endpoints — untouched in src/app.js.
[3] Tests — added __tests__/logging.test.js (18 tests, all pass) covering
module loads, level filtering, sanitize/audit/auditMiddleware,
safeErrorMessage, and logError. Full suite: 897/897 pass across 31
suites (was 879 + 18 new).
Hermes' should-fixes:
[4] asyncHandler signature — KEPT 3-arg (logError, fn, context). 49 route
files still call it this way; src/app.js's boundAsyncHandler unchanged.
[5] platformPaths.pkiRootCert — UNTOUCHED, still used in src/app.js.
[6] Five managers (Dependency, AutoRestart, ConfigDrift, SSL, DNS) — ALL
FIVE still initialized at server boot (verified via test).
[7] ok(res, ...) helper — UNTOUCHED, all routes still use it.
[8] Network-intel helpers (isPrivateLan, isTailscaleIP) — UNTOUCHED in
src/app.js, no duplicate inline logic added.
- setLevel() now updates both GLOBAL_LEVEL and the singleton log._level,
so level-filter tests don't pollute later tests.
- Logger.audit() and Logger.error() now return promises so await works.
- Logger._log() awaits writeErrorLog so callers using await can rely on
the error.log being flushed.
- safeErrorMessage() handles null/undefined explicitly (regression fix —
String(null) returned 'null' before, now returns 'An internal error
occurred').
- src/app.js boundLogError() simplified to 3-arg form matching the
unified logError(ctx, err, extra) signature.
- createLogger(level) alias exported so existing src/app.js callers work.
- logError, safeErrorMessage, LOG_LEVELS still exported.
- asyncHandler still imported from ./utils/async-handler, not from logging.
- No changes to routes/* (audit-logger.js still consumed unchanged).
- jest: 897/897 tests pass across 31 suites
- node -e "require('./src/app.js')" loads cleanly
- node server.js boots through full init (all 5 managers start)
- Color-coded logger output visible in dev mode (no NODE_ENV)
- JSON output in production mode (NODE_ENV=production)
Three coordinated fixes for the System Overview widget:
1. routes/monitoring.js — flatten getAllStats() shape from
{current:{cpu:{percent},memory:{percent}}} to {cpu,memory,memoryUsage}
so the widget's Number() coercion actually produces numbers, not NaN.
Skill reference: references/totp-and-system-overview-pitfalls.md §3.
2. routes/health.js — add summary block to /health-checks/status response.
Widget looks for {healthy, unhealthy, total} but only per-service objects
existed. Permissive on healthy side (up|healthy|online), strict on
unhealthy (down|unhealthy|offline|error); anything else counted as
unknown. Same skill §3 reference.
3. middleware.js — add /api/v1/monitoring/stats to PUBLIC_ROUTES and the
rate-limit skip list. The widget polls it every 5s from the dashboard;
cookie-auth works but listing it explicitly makes it future-proof
against auth-cookie expiry and prevents per-second 429s.
End-to-end test (unauthenticated):
GET /api/v1/monitoring/stats -> {cpu: 8.71, memory: 0.37, ...}
GET /api/v1/health-checks/status -> {summary: {healthy:11, unhealthy:4, total:15}}
Three cascading bugs in server.js's workflow engine init block:
1. fetchT was referenced but never imported from ./src/utils/http
2. notification-manager was called as factory function but the module
now exports a class (NotificationManager) - need 'new'
3. servicesStateManager was referenced in workflowCtx but only created
later inside an async IIFE (out of scope at workflow init time)
Result: every container start logged
Workflow engine failed to initialize - fetchT is not defined
and the workflow engine never actually wired to resourceMonitor/
updateManager event sources. The 'app' context workflow engine
still ran but didn't get those connections.
Fix:
- Import fetchT at top of file
- Use 'new' for NotificationManager instantiation
- Hoist servicesStateManager creation before workflow init and
remove the duplicate inside the health-checker async IIFE
Verified: container restart shows
[server] Workflow engine initialized
[ResourceMonitor] Workflow engine configured
[UpdateManager] Workflow engine configured
in the log, no more errors at startup.
Also bumps VERSION to current SHA (bump from c64bbe2).
- status/js/totp-recovery.js: NEW. Wires up recovery panel on the TOTP
gate. Pastes Base32 -> /api/v1/totp/setup -> /verify-setup -> session.
Exposes window._refreshRecoveryLink() called by totp-auth.js.
- status/js/totp-auth.js: showTotpOverlay() now calls
_refreshRecoveryLink() so the recovery link hides when TOTP is healthy
and appears when it's broken.
- status/js/totp-settings.js: removed setupSection.style.display='none'
so 'Import existing secret' is always visible; added 'Download backup
file' button after setup that exports the Base32 + recovery
instructions as JSON.
- status/index.html: added 'Lost access? Recover with saved Base32
key ->' link to the TOTP overlay plus the recovery panel itself;
added title tooltip to the auth card reminding users to save the
Base32 on first setup.
- status/build.js: include JS('totp-recovery.js') in the core bundle
after totp-auth.js (since recovery registers a hook auth calls).
- credential-manager.js: add diagnose(key) method that distinguishes
ok | missing | unreadable | corrupt instead of silently returning null
- crypto-utils.js: silent fallback to .encryption-key.bak when primary
can't decrypt existing credentials; first-run bootstrap writes .bak;
rotateKey() backs up old key before swap
- routes/auth/totp.js: new public /api/v1/totp/recovery-info endpoint
returns {status, isSetUp, hint} so UI can show meaningful errors
- middleware.js: add /totp/recovery-info to PUBLIC_ROUTES so the
locked-out user can read the diagnostic without being logged in
Three logical changes grouped:
1. Widget bundle rebuild + sami-files logo (from previous session)
- status/dist/{init,core,features,onboarding}.js rebuilt from latest source
- status/sw.js cache bumped to dashcaddy-shell-594ec75648 to force SW refresh
- status/assets/sami-files.png added (Sami Files service card logo)
2. status/build.js: include monitoring-widgets.js in bundle
- The original build.js was missing monitoring-widgets.js from its JS()
bundle list — that's why the System Overview widget never showed up
in the live init.js until we ran the live /var/www/dashcaddy-status/
build.js. Now consistent.
3. dashcaddy-api/scripts/dashcaddy-update.sh restart_container(): preserve
TOTP secret across container recreates
- Was only setting SERVICES_FILE; container fell back to image-local
/app/credentials.json + /app/.encryption-key (auto-generated fresh
every recreate), which broke TOTP for the bind-mounted secret at
/app/data/credentials.json
- Added CREDENTIALS_FILE + ENCRYPTION_KEY_FILE env vars pointing at
/app/data/ so the container reads from the bind-mounted host data dir
- See skill: software-development/dashcaddy/references/totp-and-system-overview-pitfalls.md §9
4. Auto-updater integration (pulled from upstream release):
- dashcaddy-api/VERSION: dev → c64bbe2
- dashcaddy-api/health-checker.js, middleware.js, package.json,
routes/backups.js, src/app.js: new release code (bundled workflows,
/api/auth/ → /api/v1/ back-compat rewrite, backup storage limits)
Working tree accumulated 172 untracked/modified files from the auto-updater:
- 19 secret/runtime files in dashcaddy-api/data/ that should never be tracked
- 199 byte-identical duplicates of tracked files dumped at root by an
outdated rsync/cp step
- 6 scratch debug scripts (cm_check.js, login_test.js, full_test.js, ...)
- 7 .bak-* files from start.sh and dashcaddy-update.sh rollback branches
- Root-level routes/ directory: dead code, container COPYs dashcaddy-api/routes/
.gitignore now ignores:
- dashcaddy-api/data/ (runtime: credentials, secrets, history)
- start.sh.bak*, scripts/*.bak* (auto-updater rollback backups)
- updates/ (auto-updater runtime state)
- cm_check*.js, *_test.js (scratch debug scripts)
Removed dead code:
- routes/openclaw.js (replaced by dashcaddy-api/routes/openclaw.js)
Recreated runtime scripts that were deleted with their duplicates:
- start.sh (canonical container-start, 47-line full config)
- scripts/dashcaddy-update.sh was already untracked; fixed the tracked
dashcaddy-api/scripts/dashcaddy-update.sh instead (see next commit)
Net change: 172 → 17 files in working tree.
- Recreate status/js/monitoring-widgets.js with robust services count
(reads from window.APPS, #cards DOM, then live fetch as fallback)
- Add sami-files service to data/services.json (Sami Files card)
- Add sami-files template to app-templates.js under 'Files' category
with full systemd deployment docs and Caddy snippet
- Bundle monitoring-widgets.js into init.js
After the DC-005 module reorganization (41 files moved into src/ subdirs),
138 test suites failed because the refactor script's path-rewrite logic
missed three categories:
1. Files inside src/ doing 'require("./src/...")' — should be 'require("../...")'
2. Files in src/X/Y/ doing 'require("../../../src/...")' — should be 'require("../../...")'
3. Test files in __tests__/ with leftover 'require("../../../src/...")' paths
Root cause: the original refactor script ran before all files were moved,
so it computed relative paths against stale filesystem state.
Result:
- 30/30 test suites pass
- 879/879 tests pass (was: 18/30 suites, 614/687 tests)
Also fixed:
- routes/apps/restore.js: wrong responses import path
- routes/*/*.js: '../../src/utilities/X' → '../src/utilities/X' (depth 2 routes)
Removed unused imports (path, validateStartupConfig, platformPaths),
renamed unused destructures (_timeout, _logEntry), replaced nested
ternaries with lookup tables, added eslint-disable comments on
require-await functions that are intentionally async for API stability,
and extracted helper functions to reduce max-depth and complexity in
app.js, dns.js, provider-dns.js, and site.js. All 879 tests pass.
comprehensive-test.js and test-security-fixes.js are 875 lines of
ad-hoc security test scripts (not Jest tests). They have zero references
in code or docs. Moved to scripts/legacy/ to declutter repo root
without losing the content. All 759 Jest tests still pass.
- Updated root VERSION file from 1.13.0 → 1.13.4 to match package.json.
- scripts/release.sh now writes both files on every release bump, and
stages VERSION alongside package.json in the release commit.
- This prevents the drift that caused the stale VERSION in the first place.
The 3 credential endpoints (POST/DELETE/GET /:serviceId/credentials) were missing
the /services/ path segment, causing 404s when tests called /api/services/<id>/credentials.
Fixed routes now match the URL pattern used by the live frontend
(/api/v1/services/<id>/credentials) and the test suite.
All 759 tests pass.
Convert ~160 raw res.json()/res.status().json() calls across 32+ files
to use centralized helpers from src/utils/responses.js (ok, errorResponse,
successMessage, notFound, validationError, forbidden, unauthorized, conflict).
No behavior changes — response shapes are identical. Future schema changes
(e.g., requestId envelope) only need to update one module.
Fix error vs errorResponse signature mismatch in routes/health.js CA cert
endpoint where error(res, message, statusCode) was being called with
errorResponse(res, statusCode, message, extras) argument order.
Files changed: middleware.js, csrf-protection.js, error-handler.js,
license-manager.js, src/app.js, and 27 route files.
Test suite: 755 pass / 4 pre-existing failures (services credential tests).
Three small cleanups for v1.14.0:
1. /caddy/cas now uses standard success envelope
Was: { status: 'success', data: { cas: caList } }
Now: { success: true, cas: caList }
Updated frontend service-infrastructure.js to match.
2. /api/health/ca now uses standard envelope + meaningful HTTP codes
Was: { status, message, daysUntilExpiration } with 200 on every error
Now: { success, caStatus, message|error, daysUntilExpiration }
with 200 / 404 / 500 as appropriate
caStatus field preserves the original 'healthy'/'warning'/'critical'/'error'
semantic so any future consumer of the CA-health state still has it.
Tests updated to match.
3. Dead timeout: keys in fetchT opts are now a warning, not a silent strip
src/utils/http.js:41 used to do without telling
anyone. Callers that wrote fetchT(url, { timeout: 5000 }) got the default
5s timeout with no indication that their explicit value was ignored.
Now it logs a warning naming the call site, then strips the key.
Fixed 4 call sites that had stale timeout: keys:
- src/context/caddy.js
- src/context/dns.js
- src/context/provider-dns.js
- routes/dns.js (2 places)
Two cleanups in one pass for the v1.14.0 'works on any platform' theme:
1. Response helpers — merged src/utils/responses.js and the root-level
response-helpers.js into a single module at src/utils/responses.js.
The old module had a richer set (created, noContent, validationError,
unauthorized, forbidden, notFound, conflict) and is now re-exported
from the new location. Updated 15 routes to import from
src/utils/responses and deleted the root response-helpers.js.
2. Error logger — error-handler.js now uses the unified
src/utils/logging.js#logError (same one src/app.js uses), so all errors
go to one log file with one rotation policy. Removed the dead
asyncHandler export (the real one is in src/utils/async-handler.js
and is used everywhere). Deleted the legacy error-logger.js.
Both are invisible to users — same HTTP response shapes, same log file
path, same error format. Internal-only refactor.
The readiness probe was using asyncHandler directly, but this codebase's
asyncHandler has signature (logError, fn, context) — first arg is the logger.
Switched to boundAsyncHandler which is what every other route in src/app.js
uses. Verified working on both DNS2 (Docker) and Contabo (systemd).
8 new tests in __tests__/health-endpoints.test.js verify both endpoints.
The readiness probe was crashing with 'res.status is not a function' because
asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {...}, 'health-ready') was called directly,
but asyncHandler's signature is (logError, fn, context) — first arg is the
logger, not the handler. The fix uses boundAsyncHandler like all other routes
in the file do.
Added 8 unit tests for both /health/live and /health/ready:
- live always 200 (liveness ≠ readiness)
- ready returns 503 when config/services/docker fail
- no 'res.status is not a function' crash when dependencies fail
- all 4 check keys present in response
Also added MONITORING_PUBLIC env var (defaults true) and the new health
endpoints to PUBLIC_ROUTES so k8s probes can hit them without auth.
By default /api/v1/monitoring/stats and /api/v1/health-checks/status are
public (current behavior, dashboard needs them pre-login). Users deploying
DashCaddy on the open internet can now set:
MONITORING_PUBLIC=false
...or add 'monitoring: { public: false }' to config.json to require auth.
This prevents anonymous disclosure of CPU/memory/disk data.
The check uses env var first, then config.json, then defaults to true
(preserves current behavior for existing users).
When config.json schema changes between versions, register a migration
function in src/config/migrations.js. On startup, loadSiteConfig() detects
the stored version, runs all migrations forward, and writes the result back.
Users never see the migration — it runs silently and the rest of the app
only ever sees the current schema.
Includes:
- v0 → v1: normalize dns from string to object
- v1 → v2: add dns.provider field (default 'technitium')
- Forward compat: configs from future versions left untouched
- Idempotent: re-running on already-migrated config is a no-op
- Safe: no user data is removed during migration
21 unit tests covering edge cases: null input, forward compat, corrupt
JSON, missing parent dirs, idempotency, full migration chain.
