DC-023: operational fixes — DNS, rate limiter, version sync

- 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)

+# Build Pipeline Fix — Complete Source in Tarballs
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-01
+**Bug:** Every published release tarball at `get.dashcaddy.net/release/` was missing `dashcaddy-api/src/` — the directory holding ~80% of the application code (app.js, all managers, monitoring, docker, security, utilities modules). Hosts had to run a post-deploy patches script after every update to fix 23+ broken `require('./src/...')` paths.
+
+---
+
+## What was broken
+
+`/opt/dashcaddy-release/build-release.sh` (the script triggered by the Gitea webhook on push to `main`) assembled the tarball using these copy commands:
+
+```bash
+cp -f dashcaddy-api/*.js "$staging/dashcaddy-api/"          # root-level only
+cp -rf dashcaddy-api/routes/* "$staging/dashcaddy-api/routes/"
+cp -f dashcaddy-api/package.json ...                       # misc root files
+```
+
+It never copied `dashcaddy-api/src/`, even though `server.js` does:
+
+```js
+const { createApp } = require('./src/app');
+const authManager    = require('./src/managers/auth-manager');
+const selfUpdater    = require('./src/docker/self-updater');
+const healthChecker  = require('./src/monitoring/health-checker');
+// ...and 20+ more require('./src/...') calls
+```
+
+**Result:** every published tarball was missing 60+ source files. The post-deploy script `dashcaddy-post-deploy-patches.sh` existed only to paper over this gap.
+
+The shipped tarball filename pattern (`dashcaddy-${version}.tar.gz`), the webroot path (`/var/www/get.dashcaddy.net/release/`), and existing `version.json` field names were preserved — only an additive fix.
+
+---
+
+## What changed
+
+### 1. `build-release.sh` — tarball assembly (lines 45–63)
+
+Added three copy blocks after the existing API files section:
+
+```bash
+# Application source (this is the bulk of the code: app.js, managers, monitoring, etc.)
+if [ -d "dashcaddy-api/src" ]; then
+  cp -rf dashcaddy-api/src "$staging/dashcaddy-api/"
+else
+  log "FATAL: dashcaddy-api/src/ not found in repo — refusing to build incomplete tarball"
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+# Optional app assets / scripts if they exist
+[ -d "dashcaddy-api/assets" ] && cp -rf dashcaddy-api/assets "$staging/dashcaddy-api/"
+[ -d "dashcaddy-api/scripts" ] && cp -rf dashcaddy-api/scripts "$staging/dashcaddy-api/"
+```
+
+Also simplified the routes copy from `cp -rf dashcaddy-api/routes/*` to `cp -rf dashcaddy-api/routes` — the previous form silently dropped dotfiles/hidden routes and would fail entirely on an empty directory under `set -e`.
+
+### 2. `build-release.sh` — verification step (lines 83–88)
+
+After the tarball is built, a self-check refuses to publish if `src/` isn't in it:
+
+```bash
+if ! tar tzf "$tarball" | grep -q "^dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api/src/"; then
+  log "FATAL: tarball is missing dashcaddy-api/src/ — refusing to publish"
+  exit 1
+fi
+log "Tarball contains src/: OK"
+```
+
+This makes the missing-src bug structurally impossible to recur.
+
+### 3. `build-release.sh` — `src_sha256` field (lines 95–99, 108)
+
+Added computation of a deterministic SHA-256 over the `src/` directory contents (files in sorted order, hashed with sha256sum, then the resulting block rehashed):
+
+```bash
+src_sha256=$(cd "$BUILD_DIR/repo" && find dashcaddy-api/src -type f | sort | xargs sha256sum | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1)
+```
+
+This is written into `version.json` as a new `src_sha256` field alongside the existing `sha256` (tarball hash). The self-updater at `dashcaddy-api/src/docker/self-updater.js` can now compare its locally-extracted `src/` hash to the remote `src_sha256` and detect drift between tarball-level metadata and actual source contents.
+
+`version.json` schema after the change:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.14.6",
+  "commit": "abc1234",
+  "date": "2026-07-01T08:45:52Z",
+  "sha256": "<tarball sha256>",
+  "src_sha256": "<deterministic src/ sha256>",
+  "changelog": "...",
+  "breaking": false,
+  "tarball": "dashcaddy-1.14.6.tar.gz"
+}
+```
+
+`src_sha256` is **additive only** — no existing field was renamed or removed.
+
+### 4. Idempotency & safety
+
+- `set -euo pipefail` preserved.
+- All new copies are guarded (`[ -d ... ]` for optional dirs; explicit `if [ -d ... ]` for `src/` with a fatal exit).
+- Tarball filename pattern (`dashcaddy-${version}.tar.gz`) unchanged.
+- Webroot path (`/var/www/get.dashcaddy.net/release/`) unchanged.
+- Mirror rsync step unchanged — destination server will receive the new (complete) tarballs automatically.
+
+---
+
+## How to verify locally
+
+The script can be smoke-tested without contacting Gitea or the mirror:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Snapshot the repo into a scratch dir (avoid touching /opt/dashcaddy)
+mkdir -p /tmp/verify/repo
+tar --exclude='.git' --exclude='updates' --exclude='backups' \
+    -C /opt/dashcaddy -cf - . | tar -C /tmp/verify/repo -xf -
+
+# 2. Replicate the assembly from build-release.sh against the snapshot
+cd /tmp/verify/repo
+mkdir -p /tmp/verify/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api/routes /tmp/verify/dashcaddy/status /tmp/verify/dashcaddy/scripts
+STG=/tmp/verify/dashcaddy
+cp -f dashcaddy-api/*.js "$STG/dashcaddy-api/" 2>/dev/null || true
+cp -rf dashcaddy-api/routes "$STG/dashcaddy-api/"
+cp -f dashcaddy-api/package.json "$STG/dashcaddy-api/"
+cp -f dashcaddy-api/package-lock.json "$STG/dashcaddy-api/" 2>/dev/null || true
+cp -f dashcaddy-api/Dockerfile "$STG/dashcaddy-api/"
+cp -f dashcaddy-api/openapi.yaml "$STG/dashcaddy-api/" 2>/dev/null || true
+[ -d dashcaddy-api/src ] && cp -rf dashcaddy-api/src "$STG/dashcaddy-api/"
+[ -d dashcaddy-api/assets ] && cp -rf dashcaddy-api/assets "$STG/dashcaddy-api/"
+[ -d dashcaddy-api/scripts ] && cp -rf dashcaddy-api/scripts "$STG/dashcaddy-api/"
+# ... status/ + scripts/ as in build-release.sh ...
+
+# 3. Build the tarball and run the verification step
+cd /tmp/verify
+tar czf test.tar.gz dashcaddy/
+tar tzf test.tar.gz | grep -q "^dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api/src/" && echo "src/ present: OK"
+
+# 4. Confirm src_sha256 is deterministic
+find dashcaddy-api/src -type f | sort | xargs sha256sum | sha256sum
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+- `src/ present: OK`
+- `src_sha256` identical across two runs (no timestamps or non-deterministic ordering).
+
+The local dry-run on 2026-07-01 produced an 18 MB tarball with **74 `src/` entries** (was 0 before), and verified that all of `src/app.js`, `src/docker/self-updater.js`, `src/managers/auth-manager.js`, `src/managers/resource-monitor.js`, `src/monitoring/health-checker.js`, `src/utilities/startup-validator.js`, and `src/utils/http.js` are present.
+
+---
+
+## Migration note for existing installations
+
+Hosts already running the old (src-less) release format will need to pick up one of the new tarballs to get the complete source tree:
+
+- **Option A (recommended):** trigger a normal update from `get.dashcaddy.net/release/latest.tar.gz`. Because the new tarball includes `src/`, no post-deploy patching is needed — `server.js` will resolve every `require('./src/...')` directly. The post-deploy-patches.sh script remains in place and is still safe to run (it's a no-op on a complete tree).
+- **Option B (no network):** leave the host on its current release. The post-deploy-patches.sh script continues to function as before — it patches the broken `require()` paths after every update. Nothing changes for offline hosts.
+
+There is no database migration, no config-file change, and no restart ordering change required. The next tarball published after this commit will simply contain the missing `src/` directory.
+
+---
+
+## Files modified
+
+| Path | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `/opt/dashcaddy-release/build-release.sh` | Added `src/`, `assets/`, `scripts/` copies + verification step + `src_sha256` field |
+| `/opt/dashcaddy/BUILD-PIPELINE-FIX.md` | This document |
+
+## Files NOT modified (and why)
+
+- `dashcaddy-api/src/docker/self-updater.js` — `src_sha256` is now published in `version.json`, but the self-updater doesn't need a code change to *receive* it. Adding the comparison logic in the updater is a separate, optional task that should be done when ready to consume the new field.
+- `dashcaddy-post-deploy-patches.sh` — kept as a safety net; now a no-op for fresh installs but still useful for legacy hosts.
+- Any `version.json` already on disk at `/var/www/get.dashcaddy.net/release/` — overwritten automatically on the next release build.

+# DashCaddy Post-Deploy Patch Script
+# Runs AFTER the host-side update script copies staging files into the API source
+# directory, but BEFORE the Docker build. Fixes upstream bugs in the released
+# tarball so the build succeeds and the container starts cleanly.
+#
+# Why this exists:
+#   v1.14.4 (commit d2a48b1) shipped with broken relative require paths:
+#     - Root server.js: `require('../src/...')` instead of `require('./src/...')`
+#     - Many src/**/*.js: `require('./module-name')` instead of
+#       `require('../module-name')` (files were moved into src/ but requires
+#       not updated to point at root-level modules)
+#     - Missing license-keygen.js at root
+#   Without these patches, every auto-update results in a crash-looping container.
+#
+# Idempotent: safe to run multiple times, only changes files that match the
+# broken pattern. Reports what was already OK so you can confirm health.
+#
+# Usage: dashcaddy-post-deploy-patches.sh <api_source_dir>
+#   api_source_dir: e.g. /opt/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api
