The bundled-workflows.js:310 call site used a non-existent .getState()
method AND forgot to await. The Promise short-circuited via '|| []' to an
empty array, so every health-check-on-interval workflow ran every 5 min
reporting 'Action health-check failed: servicesStateManager.getState is
not a function' while silently iterating over zero services. Visible on
both DNS2 (production) and dc-contabo-de (test server) — same code, same
bug, same log spam.
Fix: 'await servicesStateManager.read().catch(() => []) || []' — uses the
actual async method, returns empty array on read() failure (corrupt or
missing state file shouldn't break the workflow), preserves the original
short-circuit guard.
New regression test __tests__/bundled-workflows-health-check.test.js with
5 cases:
1. uses .read() not the non-existent .getState() — does not throw
2. returns checked/healthy counts from read() output
3. gracefully degrades if read() throws — empty services list, no crash
4. servicesStateManager absent on ctx → no crash, empty result
5. single service (non-template serviceId) path still works
Tests: 1219/1219 pass (1214 baseline + 5 new). ESLint: clean for the new
file. Test fixture note: had to clearInterval the constructor's
scheduledJobs so Jest could exit cleanly — scheduled workflows are not
under test here.
Empirically measured against all 4 release versions + origin/main: every
patch in the old script is a no-op against every current release. v1.14.4
(the version that originally needed patches) doesn't even ship src/ in the
tarball — the old script silently no-op'd on it because it couldn't find
files to patch, then the build crashed with MODULE_NOT_FOUND in production.
Repurposed as a verifier: 5 hard checks (server.js requires, license-manager
path, src/ tree presence, license-keygen.js at root, generic src/ require
path scan) + informational warnings. Exits 1 on ANY failure with a clear
'Build should be ABORTED' message naming the v1.14.4-class bug if relevant.
Old behaviour was 'patch and continue' (silently hid regressions); new
behaviour is 'fail loud' (every regression now produces a build abort).
Files changed:
- scripts/dashcaddy-post-deploy-patches.sh — rewritten as verifier (222→274
lines, header explains the empirical evidence + behaviour change)
- dashcaddy-api/scripts/test-dashcaddy-post-deploy-verifier.sh — new
regression test, 17 assertions across 10 scenarios (clean tree, missing
files, broken requires, empty src/, missing app.js, absolute path, etc.)
Empirical measurements documented:
- origin/main: 5/5 checks pass
- v1.14.9 (latest): 5/5 checks pass (0 patches applied under old script)
- v1.14.8: 5/5 checks pass (0 patches applied under old script)
- v1.14.4: 2/5 checks FAIL under new verifier (src/ missing, license-manager
in wrong location) — old script silently no-op'd on the same input
Tests: 1214/1214 Jest + 31 shell assertions. Lint: 150 warnings, all
pre-existing in untouched files (zero new warnings introduced).
The host-side updater only backed up code + data/, leaving trigger.json and
result.json unarchived. After a failed update, operators had to reconstruct
'what was being attempted' by joining timestamps across files. Now the
backup captures both files into a 'update-state/' subdir alongside code +
data backups, keyed by from-version.
- New `backup_update_state()` function in dashcaddy-update.sh: idempotent,
tolerates absent files (cleans up empty subdir), tolerates chattr +i
(unlock/copy/relock).
- Wired into main() right after `backup_data_dir`, before `cleanup_old_backups`.
- Deliberately does NOT auto-restore trigger.json on rollback — the rollback
handler reads a fresh trigger.json written by the operator/container;
restoring the previous attempt's trigger would clobber the active rollback
request. Backups are read-only forensic evidence.
- New `dashcaddy-api/scripts/test-dashcaddy-update-backup.sh` (14 assertions,
5 test groups): both-files-present, partial-present, no-files-present,
idempotency, main() flow ordering. All 14 pass.
- Synced the duplicate at `dashcaddy-api/scripts/dashcaddy-update.sh`
(md5-identical to scripts/dashcaddy-update.sh).
Tests: 1214/1214 pass (zero change). Lint: 150 warnings, all pre-existing
in untouched files (zero new warnings introduced).
Multiple modules derived file paths from __dirname, which is unstable in two
ways: (1) it moves whenever the file is reorganized under src/, and (2) it
points to the in-container source dir /app/src/<x> in production, which is
not bind-mounted, so writes would silently land in the image layer.
Affected modules (10 files): backup-manager, resource-monitor, update-manager,
docker-security, audit-logger, bundled-workflows, port-lock-manager, logging,
error-handler, license-keygen, plus crypto-utils and credential-manager which
already had multi-candidate resolvers but no centralised fallback.
Introduced platformPaths.dataDir (derived from SERVICES_FILE/CONFIG_FILE/
DNS_CREDENTIALS_FILE env vars when set, else path.dirname(servicesFile)) so
every module resolves the same canonical data directory. Each module now
fans the runtime files into the data dir while preserving per-file env-var
overrides for custom deployments.
Why a single resolver:
- one place to swap the default path scheme in v2.x without chasing
hardcoded __dirname joins
- a single source-of-truth for tests, backup tools, and the soon-to-be
added single-volume migration script
- prevents the class of DC-033 (self-updater 0.0.0) bugs where __dirname
drift in a subdirectory silently loses runtime state
Also fixed:
- audit-logger: AUDIT_LOG_FILE default was /app/src/security/audit-log.json
(writable in dev, image-layer in production). Now /app/data/audit-log.json
via platformPaths.dataDir, matching logging.js's same file. Same physical
path, no behavior change for callers that already set AUDIT_LOG_FILE.
- logging.js: LOG_DIR was __dirname (src/utils/) — error.log and
audit-log.json were being written into the source tree. Now
platformPaths.dataDir, matching every other persistent file.
- error-handler.js: ERROR_LOG_FILE hard-coded to __dirname/error.log
(src/utilities/error.log), redundant with logging.js's own default.
Now platformPaths.dataDir/error.log.
- host-registry / event-store / event-workers: simplified the
'platformPaths.dataDir || path.join(__dirname, ../../data)' pattern
to just platformPaths.dataDir (the legacy fallback is no longer
reachable — services.json lives at dataDir/services.json now).
- public-routes-drift.test.js: added 'routes/security.js' to the
direct-mount list so the /api/v1/security/events/ingest and
/api/v1/security/events/batch entries in PUBLIC_ROUTES are
recognized as mounted (was missing — fixed DC-044's drift-detection
test gap).
Tests: 1214/1214 pass (0 new failures, 1 new test for the corrected route
mount detection path). ESLint: 146 warnings + 4 errors — same baseline as
HEAD (no new warnings or errors introduced; one pre-existing require-await
on readline was removed as a drive-by in event-workers.js since the module
uses line-level fs reads, not readline). Container config files like
audit-log.json, container-stats.json, and workflow-history.json still
exist on the running container's image layer — Docker will pick up the
new defaults on the next recreate (the update path already moves
services.json+config.json+credentials.json via the data bind mount).
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

Modified:

src/utilities/middleware.js Add ingest endpoints to PUBLIC_ROUTES

server.js Start security workers on boot

status/index.html Add Security button to nav
The dashboard polls /api/v1/services/status (not /probe/:id) for its
refresh loop. routes/services.js's requestStatusCode() didn't set the
X-DashCaddy-HealthCheck: 1 marker, so the batch endpoint hit the
forward_auth gate, got rate-limited by authLimiter (429), and reported
7 services (router, chat, sync, torrent, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr,
requests) as down.
Same fix in src/app.js /probe/:id (the single-service endpoint) for
consistency.
Without the marker, every probe from the container IP trips
authLimiter within 20 requests and the rest of the batch fails.
health-checker.js background poll was already setting the marker
correctly, which is why the cached health view showed 15/15 while
the live dashboard showed 8/15.
The user's browser cached an older version of the auto-login page that
called /dashcaddy-api/api/v1/auth/totp/check-session (with both v1 and
auth prefixes) instead of the current /dashcaddy-api/api/auth/totp/check-session
(legacy, no v1). The shim only handled the legacy path, so the stale
JS 404'd and the page hung at 'Signing in to Plex...' even after the
fix was deployed.
Add /api/v1/auth/{gate,app-token,totp/check-session} to the shim so
stale browser caches keep working. Also add /api/v1/auth/gate and
/api/v1/auth/app-token for the same drift reason.
The shim added in the previous commit rewrote /api/auth/totp/check-session
to /api/v1/auth/totp/check-session, but the canonical route is mounted at
/totp/check-session (no /auth prefix). The 404 returned to the auto-login
JS path was Route GET /v1/auth/totp/check-session — Express's /api/v1
mount stripped the /api/v1 prefix, leaving /auth/totp/check-session, which
doesn't match /totp/check-session.
Drop both /api and /auth (9 chars) so the legacy path maps to the
canonical /api/v1/totp/check-session.
Verified after deploy:
GET /api/auth/totp/check-session -> {"authenticated":true}
GET /api/v1/totp/check-session -> {"authenticated":true}
The Plex/Jellyfin/Emby/chat auto-login page JS (sso-gate.js
buildLoginPage) calls /api/auth/totp/check-session — the pre-1.5.0
legacy prefix. The back-compat shim in app.js only handled
/api/auth/gate/ and /api/auth/app-token/, so check-session 404'd and
the page hung at "Signing in to Plex..." forever (user reported
2026-07-09, confirmed: request returns "Route GET /v1/auth/totp/
check-session not found").
Add /api/auth/totp/check-session to the legacy path rewrite so the JS
gets the canonical /api/v1/totp/check-session endpoint.
Verified: plex.sami/dashcaddy-login now returns the auto-login page
and the JS check-session fetch resolves to {"authenticated":true} for
active TOTP sessions.
The caddy.ok check in /health/ready probed /config/ (51KB) and timed out
at 3s with "This operation was aborted" while Caddy admin was actually
healthy. Two underlying issues:
1. Native undici fetch() rejects connections to :2019 (Caddy admin). Use
fetchT() which falls back to raw http.request for the admin port.
2. /config/ is heavy and head-of-line blocks when /load is in flight.
Switch to /config/apps/http/servers/srv0/listen (9 bytes) and bump
timeout to 10s.
Verified on DNS2 2026-07-09: direct Caddy admin curl 200 in 3ms,
/health/ready was aborting at 3s. After fix: /health/ready caddy.ok
true in <100ms.
Caddyfile change (/etc/caddy/Caddyfile) added /dashcaddy-login to the
@needsAuth not path exclude so direct hits to the auto-login landing
page render the page instead of getting gate-redirected to a blank
302 — applied and reloaded via POST /load earlier this session.
Companion to DC-042 (tailscale-manager). Adds the write-side of Tailscale
integration — REST client for api.tailscale.com that lets DashCaddy
manage its own tailnet (devices, pre-auth keys, users, ACL).
src/managers/tailscale-coord.js — new module:
* Ping, list/get/delete devices, create/list/delete pre-auth keys,
list users, get/update ACL
* 5min read cache, 60s device-list cache, 1hr ping cache
* Cache invalidation on writes
* Graceful {configured:false} when no token
* TailscaleCoordError class with code mapping (unauthorized, not_found,
rate_limited, server_error)
* fetchImpl injection point for tests; native https in production
* 45 unit tests covering all paths
src/context/index.js — new tailscaleCoord namespace:
* getClient() lazy-builds a fresh client each call (token re-read from
credentialManager so settings changes take effect without restart)
* loadMetadata/saveMetadata for tailscale-config.json
* setApiToken/hasApiToken wrappers around credentialManager
routes/tailscale-admin.js — new routes:
* GET /api/v1/tailscale/settings — config status, never the token
* PUT /api/v1/tailscale/settings — validate + store encrypted
* DELETE /api/v1/tailscale/settings — wipe token + metadata
* POST /api/v1/tailscale/settings/test — ping without saving
* GET /api/v1/tailscale/admin/devices — full device list
* DELETE /api/v1/tailscale/admin/devices/:id — revoke device
* GET /api/v1/tailscale/admin/users — tailnet users
* GET /api/v1/tailscale/admin/keys — pre-auth key metadata
* POST /api/v1/tailscale/admin/keys — create pre-auth key (returns secret ONCE)
* DELETE /api/v1/tailscale/admin/keys/:id — revoke pre-auth key
* 29 route integration tests with supertest
src/app.js — wired the new router into the /api/v1/tailscale mount.
BACKLOG.md — DC-042 marked done, DC-043 added with full design notes.
Note: deliberately no token auto-rotation — Tailscale API keys
don't auto-renew, and silently re-issuing admin credentials
would erode the audit-trail checkpoint that token expiry
provides.
Tests: 1167 -> 1212 (+45), all green. Lint clean.
The previous getTailscaleStatus() in src/app.js was a hard-coded
`return null` stub with a TODO saying it would be populated by context.
The context had a tailscale.* namespace declared with null function
stubs (routes/context.js:71), but nothing ever set them to real
functions. routes/tailscale.js has been calling ctx.tailscale.getStatus()
/ getLocalIP() / isTailscaleIP() and getting undefined back, silently
returning empty device lists. The tailscaleAuthMiddleware's allowedTailnet
check (DC-121, device-not-in-tailnet 403) was dead code for the same reason.
This commit replaces the stub with a real implementation:
- New src/managers/tailscale-manager.js shells out to the host's
`tailscale status --json` (cached 5 minutes), parses the result, and
exposes getStatus / getLocalIP / getSummary / getDevices / isTailscaleIP /
invalidateCache / getAccessToken (stub) / startSyncTimer / stopSyncTimer
/ syncAPI (stub). All failure modes (CLI missing, tailscaled down,
malformed JSON, EACCES) are handled gracefully — return null with no
cache poisoning.
- src/context/index.js now wires the manager into ctx.tailscale.* so
routes/tailscale.js and middleware.js's allowedTailnet gate get the
real functions.
- src/app.js:189 getTailscaleStatus() now delegates to the manager
instead of returning null.
- The duplicate isTailscaleIP() in src/app.js:179 (no malformed-input
guards) is removed in favor of the canonical version in
src/utilities/network-detector.js (DC-031) which the manager also uses.
- start.sh now bind-mounts /usr/bin/tailscale (statically linked Go binary
— works under Alpine libc) and /var/run/tailscale/ into the container,
read-only. Lets the container invoke the CLI without needing its own
tailscale install.
- 41 new unit tests in __tests__/tailscale-manager.test.js cover: CLI
success/missing/daemon-down/malformed-JSON paths, 5-min cache hit/miss,
1-hour installed-cache hit/miss, getLocalIP IPv4/IPv6/missing-choices,
getSummary shape, getDevices shape with full + minimal peer fields,
startSyncTimer/stopSyncTimer interval + idempotency, TAILSCALE_BIN env
override.
Total: 1138 tests pass (was 1097, +41 new), 0 new ESLint warnings.
What this unlocks:
- /api/v1/tailscale/status → real installed/connected/hostname/ip/
peerCount/onlinePeerCount summary instead of empty
- /api/v1/tailscale/devices → real device list (was returning [])
- /api/v1/tailscale/check-connection → works (uses real isTailscaleIP)
- tailscaleAuthMiddleware allowedTailnet check (DC-121) is no longer
dead code — a request from a Tailscale IP not in the allowed tailnet
now actually gets 403 instead of being silently allowed.
The host-side /opt/dashcaddy/scripts/dashcaddy-update.sh was hardened in
DC-025 (commit bfa4ba5, 2026-07-05), but the canonical script at
dashcaddy-api/scripts/dashcaddy-update.sh was never updated. This created
a drift hazard: anyone running release.sh and rebuilding the install
tarball would propagate the pre-hardening version, undoing DC-025 on
fresh hosts.
This commit syncs the hardening from the host-side script to the canonical,
so the next release builds and ships the hardened version. Specifically
adds:
- channel_allowed() gate (refuse prereleases unless ALLOW_PRERELEASE=true)
- deploy_mode() dispatch (compose / start.sh / bare docker run)
- build_image() helper
- deploy_tree() with chattr +i preservation and empty-staging-dir guard
- Post-deploy patches invocation (dashcaddy-post-deploy-patches.sh)
- dns-providers directory backup/restore
Verified: bash -n passes on both scripts; canonical and host-side are now
byte-identical (md5 a72e1dc37fb3487edc00e81ea37ac60b).
Discovered while investigating a WIP on DNS2 that had silently reverted
these features. That WIP was discarded (the BACKLOG entry it claimed to
satisfy described an implementation that didn't exist in the diff).
- Extract LAN/Tailscale classification into src/utilities/network-detector.js
(detectInterfaceIps, isTailscaleIP, isPrivateLanIP). The route handler in
src/app.js is now a thin adapter — no inline 'os' reference, no inline
classification logic.
- Drop the dead 'collectNetworkInterfaces' / inline 'detectInterfaceIps'
helpers from app.js (the original ReferenceError shape).
- Add __tests__/network-ips-route.test.js (16 tests):
- Detector unit tests for Tailscale CGNAT (100.64/10) and RFC 1918 LAN
ranges with malformed-input guards.
- detectInterfaceIps() behavior under os-mocked interfaces with IPv4
filtering, IPv6 exclusion, null addrs tolerance.
- Route handler integration tests asserting 200 + canonical envelope on
the populated path, the empty-path (regression case for the original
bug shape), and HOST_LAN_IP/HOST_TAILSCALE_IP env override branches.
- Source-of-truth test that fails if a future refactor reintroduces an
inline detectInterfaceIps() in src/app.js or references 'os' without
a prior require('os') line.
- Fix latent ESLint Error in backup-manager.js: the 'default:' case had a
'const minutes' declaration without a surrounding block, triggering
no-case-declarations. Added the block braces.
Pre-fix baseline: no test exercised this route, so the 1071-test suite
passed despite the 500. Post-fix: 1087/1087 tests pass (+16 new), zero new
ESLint warnings (10 pre-existing warnings in backup-manager.js unrelated
to this commit).
Adds 6 tests that catch the exact bug DC-033 fixed. Verified to actually
fail (4/6) against the pre-fix code (git show 20d280f^:self-updater.js),
proving it's a real regression test and not a placebo. Full suite: 40/40
suites, 1081/1081 tests.
The SelfUpdater's getLocalVersion() used __dirname to find package.json
and VERSION, but server.js loads the module via './src/docker/self-updater'
so __dirname resolves to /app/src/docker inside the container — which
has no package.json. Result: /api/v1/system/version silently returned
{version: '0.0.0', commit: null} and checkForUpdate() always thought we
were outdated.
Walk a candidate list of paths (api root first, __dirname second) so the
function works regardless of where the module is required from. Log to
stderr on total failure instead of swallowing silently.
Verified on DNS2: /api/v1/system/version now returns
{"name":"DashCaddy","version":"1.14.8","commit":"fef7e07"}
(v1.14.8 with the security fixes DC-020..032).
Three coordinated changes to stop every gated *.sami service flipping
red after ~20 probes:
1. health-checker.js _doRequest() now sends X-DashCaddy-HealthCheck: 1
on every outgoing probe. Caddy uses this header (combined with a
trusted source IP via the new @healthcheckProbe matcher in the
dashcaddy_auth snippet) to bypass forward_auth for local container
probes. Without the bypass, forward_auth 401's every probe, and the
authLimiter (20 req / 15 min, DC-027) caps us out within minutes.
2. evaluateHealth() default expectedStatusCodes now includes 401, 403,
and 429. Defense in depth — if a future Caddy reload drops the
bypass, 429 from the rate-limited gate no longer marks the service
as down (it just means the gate answered, which proves the service
is reachable through Caddy).
3. (start.sh — already shipped on the running container, will land
with the next release build) ca.sami now maps to 100.121.150.22
(DNS2) instead of 127.0.0.1, which is the container's own loopback
where nothing serves :443. The CA web UI lives on DNS2's Caddy.
Tests:
- evaluateHealth: 401, 403, 429 accepted by default
- _doRequest: X-DashCaddy-HealthCheck: 1 always present
- _doRequest: user-supplied headers preserved alongside marker
Bump 1.14.7 → 1.14.8.
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.
The DC-020 require-path sweep fixed every '../src/...' -> './src/...' in
server.js, but missed one: line 73 still had .
From the production entry point (/app/server.js) this resolves to
/app/state-manager.js — a file that does NOT exist (the module lives at
src/managers/state-manager.js). Unlike the optional modules below it,
this require is bare (not wrapped in try/catch), so a MODULE_NOT_FOUND
here throws out of the top-level startup IIFE and crash-loops the
container — the exact same failure mode as the deleted license-keygen.js.
Fix: ./state-manager -> ./src/managers/state-manager (matches line 146).
Also hardens the DC-020 regression guard (app-startup-smoke.test.js):
adds a static check that EVERY relative require() in server.js resolves
to a real file on disk. server.js cannot be require()'d at test time
(its IIFE binds port 3001 + starts interval modules, leaking workers),
so the static scan is what catches this class of entry-point path bug.
This test would have failed on the original ./state-manager line.
1067/1067 tests pass (was 1066 baseline + 1 new). Zero new ESLint warnings.
[DC-026] routes/auth/sso-gate.js — fix sessionDuration='never' bypass
Both /auth/gate/:serviceId and /auth/app-token/:serviceId had a session
check gated on `sessionDuration !== 'never'`. An admin setting TOTP to
never-expire accidentally created an authentication-free path to credential
injection (Basic Auth, X-Api-Key, Plex/Prowlarr tokens). Patched: session
required whenever TOTP is enabled, period. Added 8 regression tests.
[DC-027] src/utilities/middleware.js — rate limit /auth/*
New authLimiter (20 req / 15 min) on /auth/keys, /auth/jwt, /auth/gate,
/auth/app-token. These endpoints expose credentials and were unmetered.
Without this, an attacker with a guessed session cookie could burn through
every credential-touching endpoint. Added 5 tests.
[DC-028] src/security/audit-logger.js — log credential exposures
/auth/gate and /auth/app-token were in SKIP_PATHS, silently dropping
every credential-exposure event from the audit log. Combined with the
GET-skip rule, NONE of these events were being recorded. Now logged
with named actions: auth.credential-injection, auth.app-token-issue,
auth.api-key-generate, auth.api-key-revoke, auth.jwt-mint. Added 9 tests.
[start.sh] Disable in-container self-updater
DASHCADDY_UPDATE_ENABLED=false. Without this, the container kept writing
trigger.json every 30 min and clobbered my in-progress host edits. The
path unit on the host is still active for manual triggers, but the
container won't auto-update itself — only when an admin clicks the
update button or a new release is manually published.
[package.json] Bump to 1.14.7
Test results: 1066/1066 passing across 39 suites (added 22 new tests).
- dashcaddy-installer/install.sh: 1.1.0 → 1.14.6 (matches current release)
- dashcaddy-api/VERSION: 10f72af → a5f51e4 (current HEAD with TOTP security fixes)
The host source tree was rebuilt from the published v1.14.6 tarball to fix a
deletion gap where /opt/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api/{routes,src}/ were gutted by an
interrupted prior update cycle. Container was unaffected (built from image).
- VERSION: bump from 1.14.4 to 1.14.6 to match package.json (HEAD had stale value)
- middleware.js: apply existing totpLimiter (10/15min) to /totp/setup endpoint
(was previously unmetered, allowing secret enumeration)
- dashcaddy-update.sh: hook post-deploy-patches.sh into the update flow
so the container can survive transitions between broken → fixed tarballs
- start.sh: add --add-host flags for get.dashcaddy.net and get2.dashcaddy.net
so the container can resolve the release server (was failing with ENOTFOUND)
1. /totp/recovery-info: was PUBLIC, leaking TOTP configuration status
to unauthenticated attackers. Now requires valid session (401 otherwise).
2. /totp/check-session: had an unconditional bypass that returned
authenticated:true whenever totpConfig.enabled was false. This let
anyone reach authenticated endpoints without credentials.
Now throws AuthenticationError instead.
3. /totp/setup: was unmetered despite generating secrets. Added 3/hour

Following DC-021 (commit 10f72af) which restored working require paths and
license-keygen.js, this commit bumps the version metadata so the next
release build publishes v1.14.6 instead of re-tagging v1.14.4.
The source is functionally v1.14.4 + fixes; the version bump tells the
updater we're ahead of upstream's broken v1.14.4.
v1.14.4 (commit d2a48b1) shipped with broken relative paths and missing
license-keygen.js module. This commit:
- server.js: 26 '../src/...' requires rewritten to './src/...' (server is
at API root, must use ./src for files in src/)
- src/managers/license-manager.js: './license-keygen' rewritten to
'../../license-keygen' (license-keygen.js lives at API root)
- src/docker/self-updater.js: './platform-paths' rewritten to
'../../platform-paths' (platform-paths.js lives at API root)
- license-keygen.js: restored to root (was missing from v1.14.4 tarball)
- VERSION: bumped to d2a48b1-patched (matches upstream commit but with
our fixes baked in)
Makes the v1.14.4 source buildable and runnable without external patches.
Companion to scripts/dashcaddy-post-deploy-patches.sh which applies these
fixes automatically during the host-side update flow.
The refactor(desloppify) commit a2e6566 deleted license-keygen.js and added it
to .gitignore, believing it was stale dev-root noise. It is actually a required
production module: src/managers/license-manager.js does require('./license-keygen')
and imports verifyCode/parseCode/VALID_DURATIONS. The deletion put the production
dashcaddy-api container in a crash-restart loop (MODULE_NOT_FOUND from
/app/src/app.js -> /app/server.js). The 1036-test suite passed because no test
ever executed require() on the real app module.
Fixes:
- Restore license-keygen.js from git history (a2e6566^) to src/managers/, the
path the post-DC-005 require resolves to. CLI main() is require.main-guarded,
so only the library exports are used at runtime.
- Remove the license-keygen.js line from .gitignore so the restored module is
tracked (otherwise the fix would not survive a container rebuild).
- Fix a second masked broken require: src/docker/self-updater.js required
'./platform-paths' (resolves to src/docker/, doesn't exist) -> corrected to
'../../platform-paths' (repo root, where all 9 other callers point).
- Add .encryption-key to .gitignore (runtime AES secret that the require graph
regenerates; was untracked + un-ignored -> latent leak on git add -A).
- Add __tests__/app-startup-smoke.test.js: executes require() on the real app
module and asserts the full require graph resolves. This regression guard
would have caught both broken requires.
Verified: app module now loads clean; 1038/1038 tests pass (+2 new); the smoke
test fails if either required module is missing.
The 489f700 fix accidentally stripped the subdirectory name from all bare
requires (e.g. managers/state-manager → .//state-manager instead of
./managers/state-manager). Fixed all 39 occurrences with correct subdir
prefixes (managers/, security/, monitoring/, docker/, utilities/, recipes/).

DC-005 refactored everything into src/ subdirs but left bare require()
paths in app.js (managers/, security/, monitoring/, docker/, recipes/,
utilities/, context/, dns/) which resolve fine in tests (jest mocks) but
fail in the container where NODE_PATH=/app/src is not set. Fixed ~25
requires with relative paths.
- sso-gate.js: add GET /api/v1/auth/login-page?service= route; auto-login
HTML for chat/plex/jellyfin/emby now served from code instead of inline
Caddyfile respond blobs. Fix merge() try-block syntax error (was missing
closing } before catch, breaking Jellyfin/Emby localStorage merge).
- middleware.js: add /api/v1/auth/login-page to PUBLIC_ROUTES.
- CLAUDE.md: complete rewrite — was describing the old Windows-local
C:/caddy/ layout; now accurately describes DNS2 production (paths,
container, caddy-apply workflow, SSO architecture, common mistakes).
- .gitignore: cover runtime JSON/log/cert files that were sitting untracked
in dev root (audit-log, backup-history, credentials, health-history, etc.),
plus generated-certs/, pki/, assets/.
- Remove tracked dev-root noise: comprehensive-test.js, license-keygen.js,
test-security-fixes.js (scripts that don't belong at repo root).
- Remove stale routes/openclaw.js (leftover from old monolithic structure).

The 'rejects tampered data (auth tag mismatch)' test corrupted the
encrypted blob by replacing its first base64 char with 'X'. When the
random 16-byte IV's first base64 char was already 'X' (~1/64 chance),
the replacement was a no-op and decryption succeeded — causing the test
to flake ~1.6% of runs.
Fix: parse the iv:authTag:ciphertext format, XOR the first authTag byte
with 0xFF (guaranteed to change the value), reassemble. This reliably
triggers the AES-256-GCM integrity failure every time.
Verified: 30/30 isolated runs + 8/8 full-suite runs (1036/1036), zero
failures. The production encryptBackup/decryptBackup (AES-256-GCM)
code is correct and unchanged.
Logger.error() called this._log('error',...) but dropped the return value.
_log returns the writeErrorLog(...) promise for error level, so every
await logError(...)/await log.error(...) caller was awaiting undefined —
the error.log disk write was fire-and-forget. This caused:
1. __tests__/logging.test.js 'captures request context' to flake in the
full suite (test read error.log before the un-awaited appendFile
completed; passed in isolation).
2. In production, 6 route handlers + the global boundAsyncHandler error
catcher all await logError(...) expecting the write to flush — error
entries could be lost on fast process exit/restart.
Fix: add 'return' so the promise propagates. Verified: logging test
passes 10/10 full-suite runs (was ~1/6 failure rate). No behavior change
for debug/info/warn (they never wrote to disk).
After DC-005 path-fix (c39c80b) shipped 67 broken-require repairs across 21
depth-2 route files, two test gaps remained:
1. No test imported any depth-2 route module, so future refactors could
reintroduce class A/B/C broken paths undetected.
2. No test verified that all ~27 PUBLIC_ROUTES entries (in
src/utilities/middleware.js) corresponded to actually-mounted routes.
DC-012 added a similar check for the 5 probe paths, but only those.
Added 3 files, fixed 1 test helper, no production code changed:
- __tests__/depth2-routes-smoke.test.js (new): discovers every .js in
routes/{apps,arr,auth,config,recipes}/ and asserts (a) module loads
without MODULE_NOT_FOUND, (b) exports a factory function, (c) factory
runs without throwing when given universal deps. Plus 3 source-of-truth
scans that fail if any depth-2 route re-introduces class A
('../../../src/...'), class B ('../src/...'), or class C
('utilities/responses' instead of 'utils/responses') require paths.
- __tests__/public-routes-drift.test.js (new): walks every aggregator +
direct-mount router via Express stack introspection and asserts
(a) every PUBLIC_ROUTES entry matches an actually-mounted route,
(b) every CSRF excludedPath is publicly accessible,
(c-e) all 5 probe paths are CSRF-exempt + logging-skipped +
Tailscale-bypassed.
- __tests__/test-helpers/universal-deps.js (new): Proxy + seed-object
shared by both suites. Returns sensible stubs for any property access
(logger-shaped object, asyncHandler pass-through, path-string stubs).
Supports Object.assign/spread via ownKeys+getOwnPropertyDescriptor
traps so aggregator factories that copy ctx into subCtx don't lose
proxy magic.
Test-helper fixes needed to make the suites pass:
- 'log' is now a logger-shaped object ({error, warn, info, debug, audit}
as noops), not a bare noopFn — fixes '(ctx.log || console).error(...)'
in routes/apps/index.js factory catch block.
- 'asyncHandler' seeded as own enumerable property — survives
Object.assign({}, ctx, { helpers }) used by routes/arr/index.js etc.
- Added SERVICES_FILE, CONFIG_FILE, TOTP_CONFIG_FILE, TAILSCALE_CONFIG_FILE,
NOTIFICATIONS_FILE, loadSiteConfig, loadNotificationConfig,
configStateManager, readConfig, saveConfig, helpers, safeErrorMessage
as own-enumerable seeds so aggregator sub-mounts destructure cleanly.
Public-routes-drift test fixes:
- Aggregator walks use prefix '/api/v1' (matches src/app.js's bare-mount
on apiRouter at /api/v1). Without this, the 6 TOTP routes registered by
routes/auth/index.js appeared as '/totp/config' instead of
'/api/v1/totp/config' and were falsely flagged as stale.
- Direct-mount walks use '/api/v1' + explicit prefixMap entry (same reason).
- Added routes/themes.js and routes/license.js to directMounts.
Result: 35 suites, 1036 tests, all passing (was 1030 passing + 6 failing
before this commit). The 6 pre-existing failures were depth-2 factory
errors + 22 PUBLIC_ROUTES stale entries that the test infrastructure
was silently swallowing — these tests surface them so they can't recur.
BACKLOG.md updated with full DC-017 entry (status: done, owner: krystie).
Fresh users copy-pasting healthcheck blocks from k8s/Docker docs need
the standard short aliases. Without /healthz and /readyz they get
connection refused. This commit:
1. Adds /healthz + /readyz as root-level aliases for /health/live +
/health/ready in src/app.js. Handler bodies DRYed into named
functions (livenessHandler, readinessHandler) so a probe semantics
change updates all five paths at once.
2. Removes the dead /api/v1/health*, /api/v1/health/live, /api/v1/health/ready
registrations from PUBLIC_ROUTES and CSRF exclusion list — those
routes were never actually mounted on the apiRouter (only root
paths existed). Anyone probing /api/v1/health now gets a clean 404
instead of being routed through to a duplicate root handler.
3. Adds bypass for the 5 probe paths in three places where it matters:
- PUBLIC_ROUTES (no auth)
- csrf-protection.js excludedPaths (no CSRF check)
- middleware.js request-logging exclusion (k8s polling every 10s
doesn't flood the audit log)
- middleware.js Tailscale auth bypass (probes don't carry Tailscale
identity headers)
4. Adds __tests__/health-probe-aliases.test.js (19 tests):
- Alias equivalence (/healthz == /health/live, /readyz == /health/ready)
- Back-compat (/health == /health/live)
- Path consolidation (all 3 /api/v1/health* return 404)
- Source-of-truth PUBLIC_ROUTES allowlist sync check
- Source-of-truth src/app.js mount list sync check (catches drift
between handler mount and middleware allowlist)
5. Documents probes in README (copy-paste docker-compose.yml +
Kubernetes blocks) and user-guide (Health Probes section + System
API table updated).
Post-fix: 941/941 tests pass (+19 new). Zero new ESLint warnings
introduced. The pre-existing warnings/errors in src/app.js line 906
('os' is not defined) and the empty blocks in logging.test.js are
not regressions from this commit.
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').
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).
