When unauthenticated (TOTP gate active), the dashboard was polling
/api/v1/services/status every few seconds and reconnecting SSE every
2-8s indefinitely. Now: 401/403 sets _dcAuthLost flag to skip the
polling interval entirely (no fallback to direct probes which
misleadingly mark services as healthy), SSE exposes _sseClose()
coordinated with _dcAuthLost, and queued refreshes are guarded.
When unauthenticated (TOTP gate active), the dashboard was polling
/api/v1/services/status every few seconds and reconnecting SSE every
2-8s indefinitely. Now: 401/403 sets _dcAuthLost flag to skip the
polling interval, and SSE stops after 5 consecutive failures.
The Skip button awaited saveConfigToServer() which fails with 403
when TOTP is required, preventing the wizard from dismissing.
Fix: hide wizard FIRST (localStorage-only), then fire server save
as fire-and-forget with .catch().

Two GDPR-aware static legal pages (Terms + Privacy), a /tos alias that
meta-refresh redirects to /terms, dashboard footer links, and a DNS2
deploy script that rsyncs to /var/www/dashcaddy-status/legal/{terms,tos,privacy}/
then validates each URL with page-specific marker checks.
Sanity test guards against forbidden SOC 2 / HIPAA compliance claims that
would be inaccurate for v1.0 launch. Regex covers SOC[ -]?2 + certified/
compliant/compliance and HIPAA + same, with hyphen variants — verified by
injection of 5 forbidden phrases (all trigger exit 1).
Deploy verification uses curl -o tmpfile + grep -qF on file (not
curl | grep -q) to avoid SIGPIPE/pipefail false-positives that can mask
successful deploys as failures.
Routes: status.sami/legal/{terms,tos,privacy}
Aspirational legal.dashcaddy.net subdomain deferred to v1.x — needs DNS,
Caddy vhost, LE cert infra. Single canonical host covers launch.

Domain=.sami cookies are silently rejected by real browsers - .sami is an
unregistered custom TLD, so browsers treat sami itself as the effective
public suffix and refuse to set a cookie scoped to it (the same rule that
stops a site from setting a supercookie for all of .com). Confirmed via
curl verbose (cookie dropped, domain must not set cookies for sami) and
via the Firefox console on the actual device (Cookie rejected for invalid
domain) for the same cookie. The session cookie set on status.sami after
TOTP verify could never reach plex.sami/jellyfin.sami/emby.sami/chat.sami
no matter how the cookie itself was built - prior fixes tonight left this
mechanism untouched, which is why the loop persisted.
Fix: /totp/verify mints a short-lived (60s) single-use opaque token. The
status.sami frontend appends it to the redirect URL when bouncing the
user back to a gated service. That services login page exchanges the
token via the new public GET /api/v1/auth/sso-exchange for a host-only
session cookie (no Domain attribute - always accepted). isSessionValid
only checks the cookies HMAC signature, never its Domain, so the host-only
cookie validates identically to the cross-domain one on every existing
check with zero changes to that logic.
When only TOTP is enabled (today's production state for everyone),
auth-gate.js was falling through to the legacy TOTP overlay with no
visible path to the email provider. The email method was unreachable
from the UI even when configured. Fixed: append a small 'Or sign in
with email instead ->' link to the bottom of the TOTP card. Clicking
swaps the body to the email challenge form.
Why this matters even for the single-totp path: email is the
phone-friendly, no-app-required recovery path. Operator forgets their
TOTP secret at 2am, they can request a link without touching the
authenticator app. The link just wasn't reachable before.
Renders the link only when the methods response includes both totp
and email — preserves the truly-single-provider case unchanged.
New module status/js/auth-gate.js owns the Caddy ?auth=required flow.
On load it queries GET /api/v1/auth/login/methods to discover which
AuthProviders are configured. Three branches:
* 0 providers → legacy TOTP overlay (delegates to window._showTotpOverlay)
* 1 provider (totp only) → legacy TOTP overlay (delegates, no UI change)
* 2+ providers → provider selector with 'Sign in with …' buttons
Email provider challenge is a single email input + 'Send sign-in link'
button. POST to /api/v1/auth/login/email/initiate. On success the UI
shows 'check the server logs' message if deliveredVia == 'dev-console'
(production hosts without SMTP fall back gracefully) or 'check your
inbox' when SMTP is configured.
TOTP button just calls window.location.reload() — simplest path because
totp-auth.js wires the 6-digit input handlers at module-load time, and
a reload re-runs all IIFEs with the original markup. Same behavior as
the legacy single-provider path.
Coordination with totp-auth.js: auth-gate.js sets window.__dc_049_handled
= true at IIFE entry. totp-auth.js's top-level ?auth=required check
reads that flag and skips its own UI when set — eliminates the flicker
in multi-provider installs. Single-provider installs still work because
the legacy code path is unchanged (auth-gate delegates to it).
Bundle order in build.js: auth-gate.js BEFORE totp-auth.js so the flag
is set in time.
Webpack-style bundle markers verified offline: __dc_049_handled,
auth-gate-email-input, provider-btn, _showAuthGate, totp_redirect all
present in dist/core.js (now 20 files, 248KB raw / 153KB min). New SW
cache hash dashcaddy-shell-680e230383 (was 743f9c17b0).
Introduces a unified security event store and HTTP API that ingests events
from any of the configured sources (API audit, Caddy access log, fail2ban,
shared_bans, future remote agents) and surfaces them in the dashboard.
New files:
src/security/event-store.js JSONL-backed store + in-memory query index
src/security/host-registry.js Registered hosts with per-host API keys
src/security/event-workers.js Tail-followers for Caddy/fail2ban/shared_bans logs
routes/security.js Events, hosts, ingest, SSE stream endpoints
status/js/security-center.js Dashboard modal with Overview/Events/Hosts tabs
SECURITY-FEATURE.md Full feature documentation
DEAD-CODE.md, DUP-CODE.md, HARDENING.md Prior audits
Modified:
src/app.js Mount /api/v1/security/*
src/utilities/middleware.js Add ingest endpoints to PUBLIC_ROUTES
src/security/audit-logger.js Mirror audit events into security store
server.js Start security workers on boot
status/build.js Bundle security-center.js
status/index.html Add Security button to nav
The DC-027 rate limiter on /api/v1/auth/* shipped with skip: () => isTest,
which counted every request — including those from a logged-in TOTP session.
Caddy's forward_auth fires /auth/gate/* on every page-load asset (HTML, JS,
CSS, XHR), so a normal browser session exhausted the 20-req/15-min budget
within ~3 page loads and started getting 429 'Too many auth requests' even
with a valid session cookie.
Fix: extend skip to also return true when req.auth.type is 'session',
'jwt', or 'apikey' (set by jwtApiKeyAuthMiddleware, which runs upstream
of the limiter). The unauthenticated path is still rate-limited — DC-027's
credential-scraping defense is preserved.
Also closes the uncommitted working-tree changes for:
- DC-026: routes/auth/sso-gate.js — pre-auth check in buildLoginPage,
redirected error fallbacks to status.sami?auth=required&return=...
- DC-022: dashcaddy-api/VERSION bumped to fef7e07
- status/index.html + status/js/tailscale-devices.js — Tailscale device card
4 new regression tests pin the fix:
- skips when req.auth.type === 'session'
- skips when req.auth.type === 'jwt'
- skips when req.auth.type === 'apikey'
- still counts UNAUTHENTICATED requests (defense preserved)
Live verified: 50/50 authenticated /auth/gate/plex calls passed (was
20/30 before fix). plex.sami/dashcaddy-login returns 200 with no redirect
loop. Plex auto-login token round-trips end-to-end.
- 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).
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)
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)
- dns-providers/: adapter base class + registry with auto-discovery
- technitium.js: wraps existing Technitium API calls into adapter interface
- cloudflare.js: Cloudflare API v4 adapter (zones, records, credentials)
- rfc2136.js: RFC 2136 dynamic DNS via nsupdate (BIND, PowerDNS, etc.)
- manual.js: no-op adapter for external DNS management with instructions
- provider-dns.js: provider-aware DNS context, resolves active adapter from config
- Universal helper methods: universalCreateRecord/Delete/ResolveRecord
- All 7 route files updated to use universal methods instead of raw dns.call()
- Setup wizard: provider dropdown (Technitium, Cloudflare, RFC 2136, Manual)
- DNS template selector: added Cloudflare and External/Manual options
- Config schema: validates dns.provider field
- Capability gating on Technitium-specific endpoints (logs, restart, update)
- Backward compatible: no provider set = auto-detect (technitium if dns.ip exists)
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
- Remove legacy /api/ mount; all routes now under /api/v1/ only
- Update path matchers (CSRF excludes, public routes, audit log, rate limits)
- Move standalone routes (/api/network/ips, /api/docs, /api/docs/spec) to v1
- Update openapi.yaml (110 paths), CA pages, and 4 lingering frontend files
- Add LICENSE (proprietary EULA), CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format)
- Add .gitea/workflows/ci.yml (test+lint and security audit jobs)
- Fix 9 pre-existing no-empty lint errors so CI starts green
- Drop ad-hoc scratch reports and *.bak files from repo root
All 739 jest tests pass. Lint is clean.

build.js rewrites three things during `node build.js`:
- status/dist/*.js (bundle output)
- status/index.html (CSP hash for inline bootstrap)
- status/sw.js (cache name derived from bundle content)
release.sh was only staging status/dist/. Result: when a release didn't
touch index.html or sw.js source, the post-build modifications to those
two files were left unstaged, the commit included only dist/, and the
tarball shipped the stale sw.js. Clients then kept the previous SW
cache name -> activate handler never wiped the cache -> precached old
bundles served forever even after they were "updated" on disk.
Now stage index.html and sw.js too. They're tracked (not gitignored)
so a plain `git add` is enough; the commit is a no-op when nothing
actually changed.
container-logs.js called `wireModal(modal, null, closeModal)` — passing
the local `closeModal()` function as a third arg where wireModal expects
button elements. wireModal then did `closeModal.addEventListener('click',...)`,
threw TypeError, and because each module's IIFE is a top-level statement
in the concatenated features.js bundle, every IIFE *after* container-logs
silently skipped: snapshot, smart-arr-connect, notification-settings,
panel-tabs, backup-restore, resource-monitor, health-check, update-
management, docker-resources, compose-import, container-exec, audit-log,
weather, clock, card-badges, theme-builder, and license. Symptoms:
"Customize Theme" did nothing on click, license badge stuck at "FREE TIER"
(because license.js never ran), no weather, etc.
- container-logs.js: drop the wireModal call, wire backdrop click directly
to the local closeModal so the SSE log stream actually stops on close.
- globals.js: harden wireModal — skip any closeBtn that isn't a real
EventTarget. One typo upstream shouldn't take down the rest of features.js
init silently.
When the build runs on a Windows checkout, fs.readFileSync returns the
file with CRLF intact, and the hash of the inline bootstrap script's
body reflects those CRLFs. The release tarball / git transport / Linux
file system strip CRLF on the publishing host, so the browser sees the
LF-only version and computes a different sha256. CSP then blocks the
script — disabling the version widget, theme switcher, and any other
DOM bindings set up in that inline block.
Normalize CRLF -> LF before computing the hash (the on-disk file keeps
its native line endings; only the hash input is normalized). The CSP
allowlist now matches whatever Caddy actually serves.
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.
