BUILD_GUIDE.md wrongly said output goes to dist/ (actual: build-output),
mac builds produce .dmg (actual target: zip), and cited a nonexistent
win-unpacked portable path. Corrected to the verified config truth and
added the wine64+wine32:i386 cross-build requirement discovered today:
without wine32 the NSIS setup exe ships as a 211KB payload-less stub
while electron-builder exits 0. Documented the authoritative 7z payload
check + post-build secrets scan. Round1 judge B+5 polish, folded:
version placeholders, heuristic-vs-authoritative wording, distro/sudo
notes, mac zip wording. Judge: qwen3.8-max stand-in lane.
Also removes package.json.bak and index.js.bak (stale junk).
Batch 2 (installer). Root causes and fixes:
1. config-manager tests asserted stale layout (<path>/config/config.json);
canonical implementation writes flat <path>/config.json matching the
Docker volume-mount contract + REQUIRED_DIRS. Tests aligned to the
production contract (not the other way) + create testDir in beforeEach.
2. saveConfig ENOENT when the install dir didn't exist: now mkdirs the
parent before writing (implementation fix; wizard passes user-typed paths).
3. REAL BUG: saveDNSCredentials/loadDNSCredentials silently dropped the tld
field on round-trip (property test caught it). Now persisted plaintext
(non-secret, like server/username) and restored on load; type-normalized
to string-or-null (judge polish #4).
4. installDocker/installCaddy unit tests hit the real network via
DownloadManager (only child_process mocked) -> 5s timeouts. Now
jest.mock('./download-manager') with fail-fast stubs.
5. dependency-checker.property.test.js ran real exec/downloads (caddy is
installed on this box). Now hermetic: child_process + download-manager
mocked at file scope.
6. installDocker fallback message parroted raw downloader error; now steers
user to the manual instructions returned alongside (satisfies the test
contract AND improves UX).
Also: mkdtemp test dirs (judge polish #1), nested-mkdir regression test
(polish #7). Installer suite: 119/119 green, 7/7 suites (was 17 failed /
4 suites red). Judge: Qwen lane grade A, 0 blocking, 8 polish (1,3,4,7
applied here), verdict /tmp/judge-batch2-verdict.json.
- 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
- Add VM provisioning module (vm-provisioner.js) with 3 platform strategies:
* Windows: WSL2 distro with fixed VHDX
* macOS: Lima VM with fixed disk
* Linux: loopback ext4 image
- Add IPC handlers (vm-ipc.js) for Electron wizard integration
- Add disk budget wizard step (disk-budget-step.js) with presets
- Wire VM handlers into main process (index.js)
- Add preload bridges for VM operations
- Update install.sh with --disk-size flag and sandbox functions
- Add disk safety env vars to docker-compose template
- Add memory limits to prevent OOM during startup
Users can now pick a disk budget (10GB/30GB/100GB/custom) and DashCaddy
creates a sandboxed VM that physically cannot exceed that limit.
Uninstall cleanly removes the entire VM/disk with zero leakage.
ARCHITECTURE:
- Windows: dedicated WSL2 distro with fixed VHDX, Docker inside
- macOS: Lima VM with fixed disk, Docker inside
- Linux: sparse ext4 loopback image, Docker data-root inside
NEW FILES:
- vm-provisioner.js: core provisioning engine (create/start/destroy/export)
- Disk presets: Minimal(10GB), Balanced(30GB), Power(100GB), Custom
- Sparse images that grow on demand (start at ~0 bytes)
- Full lifecycle: provision → deploy DashCaddy → destroy (clean removal)
- Data export before uninstall for users who want to migrate
- vm-ipc.js: Electron IPC handlers connecting wizard to provisioner
- vm:provision, vm:destroy, vm:get-status, vm:export-data, vm:get-presets
- disk-budget-step.js: wizard UI step with preset cards + custom slider
- Real-time free space check against selected disk size
- Plain English description of what each tier handles
UPDATED:
- caddyfile-generator.js: docker-compose now includes disk safety env vars
(health retention, stats caps, memory limits) as defense-in-depth
even inside the VM sandbox
GUARANTEE: DashCaddy physically cannot exceed the storage budget.
The OS enforces the limit at the disk/image level, not our code.
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)
The 1.5.0 API cutover removed the legacy `/api` mount, but the
`dashcaddy_auth` Caddy snippet generated by the installer still called
`uri /api/auth/gate/{args[0]}`. forward_auth then hit the notFoundHandler
and propagated a DC-404 to the browser instead of a 401-redirect to the
login flow (seen on requests.sami).
