Merge feature/dc-057-backups-route-cleanup: remove dead-shadow /backups/schedule route

The router previously registered two POST /backups/schedule handlers:
  - line 60: canonical appId-keyed handler with premiumGating + Joi schema
  - line 520: dead 'name'-keyed handler, no premiumGating, no validation

Express only matches the FIRST registered handler per METHOD+PATH, so the
line-520 handler was unreachable. It was a latent vulnerability waiting on
a future refactor that swapped handler order (e.g. a route-mount change
like the DC-052 audit-log shadowing fix). If ever reached, it would have
- skipped premium gating (licenseManager.requirePremium not called)
- skipped the Joi schema validation (no validateBody)
- written to config.backups[<name>] (different key shape) and silently
  corrupted the backup schedule config

Cleaned up:
  - 32 lines of dead code removed from dashcaddy-api/routes/backups.js
  - 7-line NOTE comment added at the SCHEDULE ENDPOINTS header warning
    future contributors not to re-add the duplicate
  - 7 new tests in __tests__/routes/backups.schedule.routes.test.js
    covering shadowing, legacy schema rejection, canonical success,
    premium gating, GET/DELETE collateral-safety

Verified:
  - jest 7/7 pass
  - full suite 1889/1889 (4 pre-existing pdfkit MODULE_NOT_FOUND unrelated)
  - eslint 0 errors (18 pre-existing warnings, none on touched lines)
  - frontend (status/js/backup-restore.js) only POSTs the canonical schema
  - 90s GLM-5.3 judge round 1: grade=A, 2 polish suggestions folded

+# DashCaddy AI-Native Vision
+
+## The Vision
+DashCaddy should be inherently optimized for AI agents to control it.
+Users should be able to self-host anything using natural language.
+
+## Core Principles
+1. **AI as first-class citizen** — not a bolt-on chatbot, but where the API itself is designed for AI consumption
+2. **Natural language → deployment** — "host a Plex server" → running container + reverse proxy + DNS + health check
+3. **Agent-friendly API** — structured responses, semantic error codes, state machines, idempotent operations
+4. **MCP-native** — DashCaddy should expose itself as an MCP server so any AI agent can control it
+
+## Architecture Layers
+
+### Layer 1: Natural Language Intent Router (NEW)
+`POST /api/v1/ai/intent` — Takes natural language, returns structured action plan
+- "I want to stream movies" → { category: media-streaming, recommended: [plex, sonarr, radarr] }
+- "Set up a password manager" → { category: file-sync, recommended: [vaultwarden] }
+- "Block ads on my network" → { category: home-network, recommended: [adguard] }
+- "Why is Plex down?" → diagnostics query → { action: health-check, service: plex }
+
+### Layer 2: MCP Server (NEW)
+Expose DashCaddy as a Model Context Protocol server so ANY AI agent (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Hermes) can:
+- List services, containers, health status
+- Deploy/stop/restart apps
+- Manage DNS records and Caddyfile routes
+- Run diagnostics and get structured results
+- Create backups and restore
+
+### Layer 3: Structured Action API (EXISTING — needs enhancement)
+366 existing routes already cover the CRUD surface. Enhancement needed:
+- Consistent response envelopes (already have `ok()` / `errorResponse()`)
+- All error responses include machine-readable codes (DC-086 done — 80 codes)
+- Idempotency keys for mutating operations
+- Operation receipts (UUID + status tracking)
+
+### Layer 4: Semantic Service Catalog (EXISTING — DC-104)
+76 templates with categories, auto-categorization, search.
+Enhancement: Add intent tags ("movie streaming", "password manager", "ad blocking")
+
+### Layer 5: Diagnostic Engine (NEW)
+`POST /api/v1/ai/diagnose` — Structured troubleshooting
+- "Why is X slow?" → checks: CPU, memory, network, disk I/O, container logs
+- Returns structured findings with severity + suggested fix
+- Can auto-apply fixes with user approval
+
+### Layer 6: Deployment Orchestrator (PARTIAL — DC-103 + wizard)
+"Deploy Plex" → full automation chain:
+1. Pull image
+2. Create container with optimal config
+3. Generate Caddyfile route (DC-106)
+4. Create DNS record
+5. Add to services list
+6. Start health monitoring
+7. Configure notifications
+8. Return ready-to-use URL

 - **DC-093: Workflow engine retry with exponential backoff.** Actions retry up to 3 times with 2/4/8s delay before giving up. Logs each retry attempt. `exhaustedRetries` field in failure result shows total attempts.
 - **DC-073: Debug request logger.** Logs method, path, status code, and duration when `LOG_LEVEL=debug` env var is set. Off by default in production.
 - **DC-066: End-to-end billing integration test.** Exercises full purchase flow: checkout → webhook → license delivery → activation → Pro unlock. 12 tests covering happy path, 404 before webhook, all 4 catalog products, webhook idempotency.
-- **DC-076: WebSocket real-time dashboard updates.** `ws://host/api/v1/ws` — bidirectional WebSocket server with subscribe/unsubscribe by event type, JSON message protocol, heartbeat ping/pong, and auto-cleanup of dead connections.
-- **DC-077: Internationalization (i18n).** Translation system supporting English, Spanish, French, German, and Arabic. `GET /api/v1/i18n/languages`, `GET /api/v1/i18n/translations/:lang`. Accept-Language header detection with quality values. RTL support for Arabic.
-- **DC-080: Plugin/extension system.** PluginManager loads extensions from `{dataDir}/plugins/` that can register custom service types, notification providers, workflow actions, dashboard widgets, and deploy hooks. Manifest-based with permission declaration.
-- **DC-071: Error tracking integration.** Sentry-compatible error tracker (opt-in via `ERROR_TRACKING_DSN` env var). Non-blocking, 5s timeout, Express error middleware included.
-- **DC-086: Structured error codes.** 80 machine-readable error codes across 12 modules (AUTH, CONTAINER, SERVICE, DNS, CADDY, CA, BACKUP, BILL, HEALTH, NETWORK, SYSTEM, GENERAL). Format: `DC-[MODULE]-[NUMBER]`. `errorResponse()` surfaces `code` at top level.
-- **DC-087: JavaScript SDK + TypeScript types.** Zero-dependency client library (326 lines) covering 39 methods across 7 resource namespaces. API key or session auth, automatic CSRF, 5xx retry with backoff.
-- **DC-100: Service discovery.** `GET /api/v1/discover` scans running containers, matches against 20 known image patterns, returns suggested service configs with port mappings and existing-service detection.
-- **DC-103: One-click auto-route adoption.** `POST /api/v1/discover/adopt` creates service entry + Caddyfile reverse_proxy route + DNS record from a discovered container.
-- **DC-104: App catalog.** `GET /api/v1/catalog` browses 76 curated templates with category filtering, search, and popular badges. 7 auto-detected categories.
-- **DC-105: Smart defaults wizard.** "What do you want to self-host?" — 6 categories (media, files, network, smart home, development, monitoring), hardware profile limits, cross-category dedup with priority sorting.
-- **DC-106: Caddyfile-as-code.** Visual reverse proxy builder API — generate Caddyfile blocks from JSON config (TLS, auth, CORS, headers, WebSocket, compression, strip prefix). 5 preset templates.
-- **DC-107: Disaster recovery.** Full-system backup (services, config, credentials, Caddyfile, themes, assets) with SHA-256 checksum verification. One-click restore with partial-failure handling.
-- **DC-108: Multi-host fleet management.** Register/deregister remote DashCaddy instances, parallel health probes, multi-host deployment plan generation. API keys stored as SHA-256 hashes.
 
 ### Changed
 - **DC-082: Command injection eliminated.** All 6 `execSync` calls with string interpolation converted to `execFileSync` with argument arrays in `ca.js` and `self-updater.js`.

+ *   1. The router registers exactly ONE POST /backups/schedule handler
+ *      (the canonical, appId-keyed one).
+ *   2. No handler references the legacy "backups-schedule-legacy" error code.
+ *   3. The legacy "name"-keyed schema now produces a 400 ValidationError
+ *      from the canonical Joi schema (dead handler is gone).
+ *   4. The canonical appId-keyed schema still succeeds (200).
+ *   5. premiumGating is enforced on the canonical POST.

+ *   - 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).

+ *   - Confirm=CLEAR gating on DELETE so an accidental click can't wipe
+ *     forensic context (matches the audit-log DC-050 hardening).

+/**
+ * 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
+ *

+ * Caddy upstream watcher
+ *
+ * Watches every `reverse_proxy <host>` directive in /etc/caddy/sites/* and
+ * independently probes each upstream every 60s. After 5 minutes of
+ * consecutive failures, emits a `caddy-upstream-dead` incident via the shared
+ * healthChecker so the dashboard can surface it.
+ *
+ * This is intentionally separate from Caddy's own `reverse_proxy` health
+ * checker: Caddy probes log every failure to syslog (the noisy spam the
+ * dashboard currently sees for `100.120.159.34:5000`), but Caddy never
+ * surfaces the result to the dashboard or to the API. This watcher gives
+ * the operator (a) a deduped view, (b) a 5-minute confirmation window so a
+ * one-off blip doesn't page, and (c) a mute toggle to silence known-dead
+ * upstreams without editing the Caddyfile.
+ *
+ * State persisted to <dataDir>/caddy-upstreams.json. Mute list is part of
+ * the same file so atomic-write semantics keep state + mutes consistent.
+ *
+ * The probe DOES NOT use Caddy's health_uri (that's Caddy's own probe and
+ * the source of the spam). The probe also stamps `X-DashCaddy-HealthCheck: 1`
+ * so the `dashcaddy_auth` forward_auth gate on *.sami bypasses for probes
+ * (same trick as src/monitoring/health-checker.js _doRequest).

+/**
+ * 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.
