1. routes/apps/restore.js: backupManager was being passed by the
aggregator (routes/apps/index.js:58) but never destructured in the
factory signature. Every apps/restore request 500'd with
ReferenceError. Added backupManager to the destructure + an explicit
throw if missing so the next regression surfaces at startup instead
of at the first call.
2. routes/dns.js:555: file imports { success, error } from
../src/utils/responses but used ok(res, ...) (defunct alias). DNS
credential save path 500'd. Changed to success() to match the rest
of the file.
3. src/utilities/middleware.js: deleted /api/v1/billing/checkout from
PUBLIC_ROUTES — dead entry, no route mounted. Drift test caught it
(DC-017 guard). Updated the comment to cover both checkout + webhook
as removed.
Tests: 1428/1428 pass (drift test now green).
Lint: 0 no-undef errors across src/ + routes/ (was 7).

- public-routes-drift.test.js:
- Add 'routes/billing.js' to prefixMap ('/billing') — production mounts
apiRouter.use('/billing', billingRoutes({...})) so the walker must
walk under /billing, not bare /api/v1.
- Add 'routes/services.js' to directMounts — production bare-mounts
serviceRoutes({...}) on apiRouter, so /api/v1/services and
/api/v1/services/status were flagged as stale drift.
- src/utilities/middleware.js:
- Remove dead /api/v1/billing/webhook PUBLIC_ROUTES entry. Webhooks
are handled out-of-process by scripts/stripe-license-bridge.js;
the merchant webhook secret never enters the API process.
- Rewrite the dangling auth-gate comment that was originally paired
with the removed /me + /admin comment (Codex polish #1).
1486/1486 tests pass, zero new ESLint errors. Drift test catches
re-introduction of the dead /api/v1/billing/webhook entry.
Codex grade A (direct codex exec invocation — wrapper's read-only
sandbox conflict prevented wrapper write; live-state verification
1486 tests green, ESLint baseline unchanged).
DC-044 fix is already merged (be798a9, '[grade=B] fix(workflows)'), tests 16/16 pass (bundled-workflows-health-check.test.js), live DNS2 logs over the last 10min show zero getState/health-check spam. Only the BACKLOG status header was stale.
DC-056: clarify result to match actual shipped state (status.sami/legal only, legal.dashcaddy.net deferred to v1.x).
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.

The original DC-044 fix (b492e1c) repaired servicesStateManager.getState() but
missed two latent bugs at the same code path that were still spamming DNS2
every 15 minutes:
1. notify-on-failure fired unconditionally. The comment said 'Only send if
previous action failed' but executeAction never checked. Every
health-check-on-interval cycle ran notify regardless of outcome.
2. {{serviceId}} template never interpolated. healthCheckService returned
{ checked, healthy, results } with no serviceId in scope, so the
production alert 'Health check failed for {{serviceId}}' stayed literal
in every notification.
3. checkContainerHealth compared info.State.Health (an object) to the string
'unhealthy' — always true, so any container with an explicit HEALTHCHECK
was always reported healthy.
Fix:
- Extract _runActions(actions, triggerData) from executeWorkflow so the
per-action result threading and failingServices context surface are
testable in isolation.
- Gate notify-on-failure on previousResult.success === false. Returns
{ skipped: true, reason: 'no previous failure' } when no preceding failure.
- healthCheckService throws an Error with .failingServices attached when
any service is unhealthy, surfacing IDs into the next action's context.
- checkContainerHealth now reads info.State.Health.Status: 'healthy' or
'starting' → healthy, 'unhealthy' or no health check + stopped → unhealthy.
- Update bundled health-check-on-interval template from {{serviceId}} to
{{failingServices}} (the variable now in scope).
Tests (12 new, 16 total in file):
- 5 _runActions tests (gate, interpolation, multi-service batch, first-action
no-op, plain notify regression guard)
- 1 end-to-end executeWorkflow test against bundled health-check-on-interval
asserting no literal {{...}} tokens reach notification.send
- 3 checkContainerHealth tests (running-but-unhealthy, no-healthcheck, stopped)
- 1 healthCheckService throw test with failingServices attached
- 2 updates to existing assertions for new return shape

Both were committed in the 2026-03 DNS2 sync (d76644d) and ignored ever
since. Zero references in any code, frontend, Docker mount, or test
fixture. The dashcaddy-api/assets/ directory is in .gitignore but the
files were still tracked from the pre-ignore era. Safe to remove.
Sanity-checked this commit boundary doesn't contain any unrelated work —
the keygen refactor in the previous commit (592a9fd) and the asset
cleanup here are independent. The 7b1c2ba contamination that mixed
these two previously is fully resolved.
Round-trip cleanup of dashcaddy-api/license-keygen.js:
- Export generateCodes({secret, durationDays, count, startId, counterFile})
alongside generateCode and loadSecret for the Stripe webhook bridge.
- Replace the duplicate counter-write logic in main() with a single call
through generateCodes(), so the CLI and the programmatic API share the
same atomic allocator.
- _atomicWriteCounter() writes a uniquely-named .tmp file (pid+ts+rand
suffix) and renames over the destination. POSIX rename is atomic on the
same filesystem; the .tmp suffix prevents collisions across the event
loop. Stale .tmp files are unlinked if rename fails.
- Numeric counter validation: reject non-numeric content in the counter
file at startId read time (e.g. operator mucked up the file by hand).
- startId range-check: 0..0xFFFFFFFF, non-integer values rejected with a
clear error. Uses Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(opts, 'startId')
to distinguish 'caller passed startId' from 'caller omitted startId',
so the CLI's omitted --start-id path hits the auto-counter branch.
- 32-bit codeId overflow check: startId + count - 1 must fit.
- CLI: --tier pro added as a cosmetic label (only valid with --duration
or --lifetime); --lifetime added as a synonym for --duration 0.
--lifetime and --duration are mutually exclusive. --start-id override
skips the counter write.
- fix comment at top of file: code format is 5 groups of 5 base32 chars
encoding 120 bits (40-bit HMAC) — not 4 groups / 128 bits (48-bit HMAC).
- Add __tests__/license-keygen.test.js — 28 tests covering the public
API, the counter allocator, validation, monotonic counter (100-call
stress test), counterFile override, env var override, loadSecret
error path, and CLI integration via execFileSync against the actual
binary.
Caddy handle_path /dashcaddy-api/* only strips the /dashcaddy-api prefix, so
the login-page fetch to /dashcaddy-api/api/auth/sso-exchange arrived at the
app as /api/auth/sso-exchange - one path segment short of the canonical
/api/v1/auth/sso-exchange mount, so it 404d (masked by isPublicRoute never
even being reached). Add it to the same narrow gate/app-token rewrite case.
Caught by an end-to-end curl replay of the actual handoff flow before
asking for another live retest.
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.
The never-trap fallback commit (fb638f6) left an extra closing brace after
the fail() call in the plex/jellyfin/emby page bodies (JSON.stringify(j))}
followed by another }).catch(...) on the next line - one brace too many,
since unlike the chat body these have no try/catch needing the extra scope).
This threw a SyntaxError parsing the inline <script>, which silently killed
the ENTIRE script - including the 15s failsafe redirect - leaving the page
stuck on "Signing in to ..." forever with zero console output explaining
why. Confirmed via node --check on the actual generated <script> contents
for all four services.
Sami reported plex.sami/dashcaddy-login hangs at 'Signing in to Plex...'
indefinitely. Earlier commit (210c208) added 8s/15s timeouts at the SHELL
template level, but the per-service page bodies in buildLoginPage()'s
pages object had their own dead-end behavior: when app-token/:svc
returned an error or no token, the body called fail() showing an error
message but DID NOT redirect anywhere. With check-session still
returning authenticated, the SHELL's 15s failsafe timer never fires
because the script is still 'running' (in the failed .then chain).
Fix in each body (plex/jellyfin/emby/chat):
- After app-token returns no token, check localStorage for a stale token.
If present, redirect to /web/?direct=1 — Plex/Jellyfin/Emby may still
accept it for the session, and the user is unblocked either way.
- If no stale token, the fail() message now includes a manual link to
/web/?direct=1 (not just status.sami re-auth), so the user always has
an exit. fail() also shows the actual API response body (truncated)
for easier debugging when something is genuinely wrong.
- catch() handlers get the same manual-link treatment.
- Removed the chat body's debug spam (Status: code + body dump to #d)
that was making the UI look broken even when it wasn't.
Verified: 133/133 auth/sso/csrf/session tests pass; served page on
plex.sami/jellyfin.sami/emby.sami/chat.sami all contain
myPlexAccessToken/jellyfin_credentials/emby_credentials/token fallback
checks + Open X manually links.
buildLoginPage() in routes/auth/sso-gate.js shipped with bare fetches
(no signal). When app-token/:serviceId hung in the browser (slow upstream,
no response after 30s+, etc.), the page sat on 'Signing in to Plex...'
indefinitely. Verified on DNS2 2026-07-22: user reported 'still doing the
same thing' even after cookie + XFF fixes were verified working end-to-end.
Hardening:
- check-session fetch: 5s AbortSignal timeout
- app-token/:svc fetch (via ft()): 8s AbortSignal timeout
- 15s hard overall timer: if nothing succeeds, force-redirect to
status.sami?auth=required so the user can re-auth
- try/catch around fail() to prevent DOM exception from breaking flow
Verified live: 133/133 auth/sso/csrf/session tests pass; container
healthy; served page contains 'withTimeout' + 'overallTimer' + '15000'.
Auto-login can no longer hang the page.
isSessionValid previously checked verifyIPSession() first, falling back to
verifySessionCookie() only if IP miss. Under Caddy --network host forward_auth,
req.ip arrived as 100.121.150.22 (DNS2 tailnet) instead of the user's real IP,
causing every cross-subdomain auto-login (plex/jellyfin/emby/chat) to 401 even
with a valid cookie. Now cookie-only; the IP cache write-back is kept as a
no-op for telemetry compat.
Verification on DNS2: /dashcaddy-login renders in 184ms (was 7s).
app-token/plex with the TOTP-issued cookie returns 200 with a real Plex token.
First pricing enforcement. Per PRODUCT-SPEC-DECISIONS.md:
- Free = up to 3 users, no share features
- Pro = unlimited users + Tailscale-mediated share + public share links
- LIFETIME keys are creator-only (Sami runs --lifetime on his dev
machine; production API rejects LIFETIME codes at activate())
- Free has NO trial; Pro is a deliberate paid choice
Changes:
- src/managers/license-manager.js:
- isPro() shorthand (active + non-expired = true; LIFETIME counts)
- allowsLifetimeLicense() reads ALLOW_LIFETIME_LICENSE env var
- activate() rejects LIFETIME codes with a clear error unless the
env flag is set (so Stripe webhook can't accidentally issue one)
- src/security/user-store.js: countUsers() helper for the tier gate
- src/utilities/errors.js: PaymentRequiredError (HTTP 402, code DC-402)
- routes/auth/admin.js:
- _requireProIfUserLimitReached middleware on POST /admin/users
and POST /admin/invites (throws 402 at count >= 3 + Free)
- /invites/:token/accept also gated — burns the invite at cap so
it can't be replayed later
- routes/auth/index.js: bridge licenseManager + userStore onto
req.app.locals so the gate middleware can find them; pass
licenseManager into the provider registry for future use
Tests: 19 new (license-tier-enforcement.test.js) covering isPro(),
allowsLifetimeLicense(), LIFETIME accept/reject paths, countUsers(),
PaymentRequiredError shape, and end-to-end admin-route gating.
Full suite: 1317/1317 passing across 50 suites.
Defer to DC-053 (share routes), DC-054 (Stripe bridge), DC-055
(pricing page), DC-056 (ToS).
Sami's explicit decisions:
- Free is completely free — no Pro trial, no time-limited upsells.
Pro is a deliberate paid choice. Update pricing language in
PRODUCT-SPEC-DECISIONS.md so anyone reading it doesn't assume
there's a hidden trial period.
- Lifetime keys are creator-only (Sami runs license-keygen.js
--lifetime on his dev machine; the API rejects LIFETIME codes
at verifyCode time). No paid customer can ever buy or receive
a lifetime key — they get 30/90/180/365-day keys. Update both
PRODUCT-SPEC-DECISIONS.md and DC-052 in BACKLOG.md to spell
this out so the Stripe webhook (DC-054) doesn't accidentally
generate a LIFETIME for a buyer.
Captures the 14 product-spec decisions locked today with Sami:
- Time-based pricing: 30/90/180/365 day tiers at $20/$50/$70/$99
- Free = up to 3 users, Pro = unlimited
- Free = local-only; Pro adds Tailscale-mediated share + public share links
- Stripe Checkout, USD-only, optional dashcaddy.net account
- LIFETIME keys are creator-only (no public exposure)
- Use existing license-keygen, no new auth system
- Invitees MUST use email magic link (email = identity for non-host users)
BACKLOG gets 5 new build tickets:
- DC-052: License-tier enforcement (cap Free at 3 users, gate share on Pro)
- DC-053: Public + Tailscale-mediated share routes (the killer Pro feature)
- DC-054: Stripe webhook bridge for auto-issuing license keys
- DC-055: dashcaddy.net/pricing page + Stripe Checkout
- DC-056: ToS + Privacy Policy pages (GDPR-aware)
No code changes — pure planning artifacts. Code work begins next.
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).
