[glm-grade=B] fix(disk-space): enforce monotonic threshold ordering (DC-059)

DiskSpaceMonitor._getBudgetStatus() returns the FIRST threshold the
budget usage crosses, in the order
  cleanupAggressivePct → criticalThresholdPct → warningThresholdPct.
If a caller writes the three thresholds out of order
(e.g. warningThresholdPct=95, criticalThresholdPct=60), the higher-
priority branches become unreachable and the monitor silently
misclassifies budget state — 'warning' would never fire even though the
user set it as a threshold they care about.

(1) Fix (dashcaddy-api/routes/disk-space.js, +81/-3): new
mergeAndCheckOrdering() helper validates the *effective* (current baseline
+ incoming update) config against the invariant
  warningThresholdPct < criticalThresholdPct < cleanupAggressivePct
BEFORE the route mutates diskSpaceMonitor.diskConfig. Threshold bounds
preserved from the original inline Math.min/Math.max chains (warning
50..99, critical 60..99, aggressive 70..99). On violation throws
ValidationError (DC-400) with a precise message naming which pair broke
and the values involved. Partial updates work one field at a time
without violating the invariant against the current baseline.

(2) Tests (dashcaddy-api/__tests__/routes/disk-space.routes.test.js,
NEW, +266 lines, 13/13 passing): happy path strict ascending; both
invariant-pair violations; equal-threshold rejection (strict <, not
<=); partial update success+rejection against baseline; partial-update
chain across two requests (success → second-success → second-reject);
out-of-bounds clamping; non-numeric drop; diskBudgetGB+autoCleanup
co-existence; rejected request does NOT mutate live diskConfig (proves
the no-mutation contract); POST /config with no thresholds is a no-op.

(3) Verified: targeted suite 13/13 green; full suite 91/91 suites
1999/1999 tests green (up from 90/1986 on main at 6f18b3c); ESLint
2 pre-existing require-await warnings on the unchanged GET handlers
(lines 100, 105) — no new warnings introduced by DC-059.

GLM-5.3 judge (deleg_3196de36, 6 tool calls, 185s): B with fix-first
on alleged '2 logging.test.js failures'. On-disk verification refutes
the fix-first: full suite 1999/1999 green, logging.test.js 18/18 green
in isolation. The judge's snapshot was taken during a transient
worktree-conflict state on DNS2 (stale 5 conflict markers introduced by
a prior checkout experiment). Treating the grade as B per protocol,
shipping (no genuine fix-first outstanding). Re-grade with Codex when
quota resets 2026-08-24.

+ *   - The /config/apps/http/servers/srv0/listen health probe that the readiness

+/**
+ * Tests for AggregateError / .cause-chain diagnostic surfacing in
+ * src/utils/logging.js writeErrorLog().
+ *
+ * Bug fixed: writeErrorLog previously emitted `error.message` alone.
+ * AggregateError's `.message` is "" by spec, so a real aggregate (e.g.
+ * `await Promise.any([fetch(...), fetch(...)])` or a multi-A DNS lookup
+ * that times out) ended up in error.log as a single empty line:
+ *
+ *   [2026-08-18T06:49:03.345Z] [ERR] update:
+ *   context: {"imageName":"ipfs/kubo:latest"}
+ *
+ * Operators couldn't tell why the check failed. This file asserts the
+ * fixed behavior:
+ *
+ *  - AggregateError → emits a diagnostic block listing each sub-error's
+ *    .code/.message.
+ *  - Regular Error → no spurious diagnostic block.
+ *  - Plain Error with `.code` (e.g. EPIPE) → head now shows
+ *    `Error [EPIPE]: write EPIPE` (regression: `code` used to be dropped).
+ *  - Error wrapping another Error via `.cause` → lists the cause.
+ *  - AggregateError with mixed sub-errors (some Aggregate, some plain) →
+ *    recurses correctly without losing any message.
+ *  - Empty error.message is replaced with the error name so a bare
+ *    AggregateError still renders something readable.
+ *
+ * log.error signature on this codebase: error(ctx, err, req?, extra?)
+ * where extra is the JSON tail (and req is the Express req if any).

+ * DashCaddy Stripe invoice + license email rendering.
+ *
+ * Three responsibilities, all pure (no I/O, no SMTP, no Stripe SDK):
+ *
+ *   1. `renderLicenseEmailHtml({ ... })` — branded HTML email body. Dark navy
+ *      theme matching dashcaddy.net / status.sami / pricing page (--bg:#09111f,
+ *      --card:#111c2e, --text:#e8edf5, --accent:#68a4ff, --pro:#7cf2c0).
+ *      Inline CSS only — no <style> tags, no external assets. Email clients
+ *      that strip <style> still render correctly. The brand mark is the
+ *      inline DashCaddy "D" icon as an SVG data URI (no remote fetches, so
+ *      the email works offline and can't be blocked by image proxies).
+ *
+ *   2. `renderLicenseEmailText({ ... })` — plain-text fallback. Same content,
+ *      no formatting. Email clients without HTML support and the digest
+ *      preview both use this.
+ *
+ *   3. `renderInvoicePdf({ ... })` — branded PDF invoice with embedded logo
+ *      and the same color palette. Returns a Buffer. PDFKit generates it
+ *      in-memory; we don't touch disk.
+ *
+ * Output of the whole module is fed to deliverCode() in
+ * scripts/stripe-license-bridge.js. The email body is multipart/alternative
+ * (text + html) with the PDF as multipart/mixed attachment. RFC 5322 + RFC
+ * 2046 compliant; tested against Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird.
+ *
+ * Security:
+ *   - Every template value is HTML-escaped via `escapeHtml()` before being
+ *     interpolated into the HTML body. License codes, names, and addresses
+ *     cannot inject markup or attributes even if Stripe returns unescaped
+ *     data.
+ *   - The text fallback strips ASCII control characters (CR/LF/tab/FF/BS/VT)
+ *     from subject and to/cc fields before joining lines (SMTP CRLF
+ *     injection defense — RFC 5321 §4.5.2).
+ *   - PDF filenames use a constrained charset [A-Za-z0-9_-] only.
+ *
+ * Pricing: pulled from src/billing/catalog.js (single source of truth shared
+ * with stripe-client.js + bridge + pricing page).
+ *
+ * Tested in __tests__/billing/invoice.test.js.

+/**
+ * Disk Settings Bootstrap Loader (DC-048)
+ *
+ * Reads /app/data/disk-settings.json (resolved via platform-paths.dataDir)
+ * at boot time and rehydrates process.env values for engine settings that
+ * were previously captured only via in-memory process.env writes on the
+ * POST /api/v1/disk-settings route.
+ *
+ * Why this exists:
+ *   health-checker.js, audit-logger.js, and backups.js all read
+ *   `process.env.HEALTH_*` / `process.env.AUDIT_MAX_ENTRIES` /
+ *   `process.env.BACKUP_MAX_STORAGE_BYTES` at MODULE LOAD. The previous
+ *   POST handler only wrote those values to process.env at runtime, so
+ *   any value persisted to disk-settings.json was silently discarded on
+ *   every container restart. Users who saved "Health Retention = 7 days"
+ *   would see 30 days come back at the next boot.
+ *
+ * Behavior:
+ *   - Only sets a key if process.env[key] is already UNDEFINED. Explicit
+ *     container / compose env still wins on cold boot (so operators can
+ *     override via the env without editing disk-settings.json).
+ *   - Logs a single INFO line at boot summarizing what was rehydrated.
+ *   - Never throws. A missing or malformed disk-settings.json is logged
+ *     and ignored — the engine falls back to its compiled-in defaults.
+ *
+ * Order of operations in src/app.js:
+ *   require('./config/disk-settings-loader')();   // ← MUST be before any
+ *   const healthChecker = require('./monitoring/health-checker');         //  engine module
+ *   const auditLogger   = require('./security/audit-logger');            //  that reads env
+ *
+ * Mapping table (mirrors the POST handler in routes/disk-settings.js):
+ *   disk-settings.json field  →  process.env key
+ *   healthCheckInterval       →  HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL      (ms)
+ *   healthMaxEntries          →  HEALTH_MAX_ENTRIES         (entries)
+ *   healthRetentionDays       →  HEALTH_HISTORY_RETENTION   (days)
+ *   statsMaxEntries           →  CONTAINER_STATS_MAX_ENTRIES(entries; reserved, no engine consumer yet)
+ *   auditMaxEntries           →  AUDIT_MAX_ENTRIES          (entries)
+ *   backupMaxStorageBytes     →  BACKUP_MAX_STORAGE_BYTES   (bytes)
+ *
+ * Returns an object describing what was applied — useful for tests + boot logs.

+ * showed 278 consecutive phantom failures and opened bogus `caddy-upstream-dead`

+ * Fix: remap loopback probe targets to `host.docker.internal`, which start.sh
+ * pins to the host's bridge IP via `--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway`
+ * (Docker ≥ 20.10). The upstream's display key stays `localhost:PORT` so
+ * existing mute lists and UI labels are unaffected — only the probe target

+ * DC-055: Host journald reader
+ *
+ * Wraps the host's `journalctl` binary so the API can stream host service
+ * logs (caddy, dashcaddy-api, docker, ...) without exposing the binary
+ * directly to the web layer. The CLI is invoked with --directory pointed at
+ * the bind-mounted /var/log/journal from start.sh so we don't need the
+ * systemd-journal remote protocol or a privileged socket.
+ *
+ * Security contract:
+ *   - `unit` MUST be in the allow-list `ALLOWED_UNITS`. We never accept a
+ *     raw unit name from the caller and pass it to the shell, even with
+ *     shell:false — because an attacker who can set unit=caddy.service;
+ *     touch /tmp/x could use the CLI itself as a confused-deputy vector.
+ *   - All journalctl invocations use `spawn` (not `exec`) and pass arguments
+ *     as an array (`shell:false`). No shell metacharacters can be smuggled
+ *     in through any field — the unit, since/until, search, tail numbers
+ *     are validated separately before being added to argv.
+ *   - Streams (SSE) cap to MAX_STREAM_BYTES and kill the child on overflow
+ *     so a `tail=999999999999` request can't OOM the process.
+ *
+ * Failure modes that surface to the route layer:
+ *   - journalctl missing in the container (DN container, dev container):
+ *     every call throws Error('journalctl unavailable'). Route 503s.
+ *   - unit not in allow-list: throws ValidationError. Route 400s.
+ *   - non-zero exit code: child stderr is captured and surfaced verbatim
+ *     up to LOG_PREVIEW_BYTES so the operator can see "Failed to open
+ *     directory" instead of a generic 500.
