Customer-facing professionalism tier (AUDIT-2026-10-27.md findings 34-39):
- CHANGELOG.md rebuilt to Keep-a-Changelog: ONE Unreleased section, the
2026-08-12 hardening sprint folded into 1.17.0 (no v1.16.0 tag exists,
verified via git tag -l), ALL 7 judge-grade/URN lines moved out of
customer copy into RELEASE-EVIDENCE-internal.md, missing DC-166/169
entries added, full DC-170 sweep entry written, DC-171 DNS-parity
ticket recorded, date order strictly descending across all 22
sections (1.1.5 restored with its true content after the re-sort ate
the heading), compare-link chain filled (Unreleased from v1.17.0,
1.17.0 from v1.14.6-patched, 18 missing version links added)
- VERSION 1.15.0 -> 1.17.0 + openapi.yaml 1.15.0 -> 1.17.0 (three-way
drift closed: VERSION=package.json=openapi; start.sh build stamps
single-sourced)
- README: quickstart endpoints rewritten against the live router (the
fictional /api/caddy/{config,reload} section replaced with the real
/api/v1/caddy/* routes from routes/sites.js), 50+ -> 78 templates
(proven in VERIFY-OUTPUT.txt via require of src/docker/app-templates),
version badge 1.17.0, yourusername links -> sami7777, roadmap
reconciled with shipped features (multi-user DC-048, DNS UI DC-166,
backup automation marked shipped), verification note scoped to the
MCP drift gate's actual coverage
- API-SURFACE.md regenerated: 443 handler rows / 368 unique paths / 441
unique operations / 88 public rows, Known Limitations section (static
extraction, line-oriented, may omit multiline/computed/chained
registrations), exact duplicate registrations with file:line
- VERIFY-OUTPUT.txt: verbatim command/output transcript proving all
version + count claims (sha256 of the generated doc recorded and
matching)
- state-manager test mock extended for the atomic tmp+rename contract
Judge rounds: r1 D -> r2 D -> r3 D -> r4 D -> r5 C -> r6 C -> r7 C ->
r8 C -> r9 C -> r10 A (each round fixed blockers in-lane; no bypasses).
r10 independently reproduced all counts and the generated doc hash
against the live repository.
The caddy tail worker (DC-112) was 100% dead in prod: no /var/log/caddy
mount, no CADDY_ACCESS_LOG env, no global access log in the Caddyfile.
Store census 45,912 events, 100% source_type 'api', ZERO 'caddy'.
- createTail: firstStartMaxBytes (5 MiB) bounds first-ever-start replay
against a long-lived access.log; multi-chunk partial-line discard on
the jump; normal restarts resume at exact persisted offset (judge r1
fix-first fold)
- worker: self-noise filter drops our own probe UAs
(DashCaddy-Probe/1.0, DashCaddy-HealthCheck/1.0) from the derived
store — raw log keeps everything; ~50-100 events/min of probe noise
would otherwise bury perimeter signal in the 100k-cap store
- worker: metadata.host reads request.host (real caddy JSON nests it;
verified against live /var/log/caddy/seeds.log — the DC-112 read was
always null on live lines); top-level fallback kept
- worker: onAppear recovery log (DC-112 judge polish fold)
- start.sh: -v /var/log/caddy:/var/log/caddy:ro + CADDY_ACCESS_LOG env
- README: dead caddy-api/ dir refs -> dashcaddy-api/ (queue item e)
- tests: +12 DC-113 pins (hermetic, real worker + store); DC-112
fixtures corrected to the real nested request.host shape
126 suites / 2841 tests green. Judge: GLM-5.3 round-1 B, round-2 A
(SHIP). Verdict urn:ump:mccln523fptotuvrmddlqpf4zpkrxf273tg4kyytuyy3776rj3pq
DC-095 masks emails at every live log sink; the rotated archive was the
remaining belt-and-braces gap — any future sink that forgets masking would
persist raw PII in error.log.1 for a full rotation cycle. appendErrorLog
now scrubs the freshly rotated archive with the SAME canonical mask
(sa****@example.com) via atomic rewrite (sibling .redact-<pid> temp, wx
open preserving mode else 0600, fsync, rename). Scrub failure is caught
and logged; the new error line is still appended. Stale crash-leftover
.redact-<pid> temps are swept best-effort on every rotation. Also
documents scripts/redact-log-pii.js usage in README (queue item e).
Judge: GLM-5.3 cold read (deleg_e7cd7f8c), round-1 grade B ship — both
nits addressed in-commit: stale-temp sweep (new 5th test pins it),
quoted-local-part mask edge deferred as pre-existing DC-095 primitive.
Tests: 122 suites / 2790 green (+5 DC-108 pins; was 2785 post-DC-107).
The README showed MIT license and version 1.0.0 — both wrong. LICENSE
file is a 125-line proprietary EULA (added at v1.5.0). Version badge
was stale from initial release.
Refs: DashCaddy audit 2026-08-02
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.
Full codebase including API server (32 modules + routes), dashboard frontend,
DashCA certificate distribution, installer script, and deployment skills.
