Changelog

All notable changes to DashCaddy are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Security

• TOTP recovery system (4-part defense against permanent lockout). Pre-lockout: .bak fallback credentials file checked at every TOTP init, used silently when primary fails. Diagnostic: /recovery-info endpoint + /recovery-panel UI on the entry screen with one-click "Import Backup" + "Download Backup" buttons. Post-lockout: friction-free .license-secret restore flow. (d230b39, 3dff49c, 7bbd969)

Added

• OpenClaw routes — full set under /openclaw prefix: connect, disconnect, status, host discovery. docker.client wrapper fixed; duplicate /apps/ paths stripped across sub-routers.
• Auto-backup scheduling (premium tier) + storage-limit enforcement (prune oldest when maxStorageBytes exceeded) + restore-from-backup on update rollback. Bundled workflows included out-of-the-box.
• Monitoring widget on main dashboard — CPU/mem data flattened, health summary added; /api/monitoring/stats exposed as a public route with rate-limit.
• Sami Files template — logPath wired into the template and mounted in start.sh.
• Unified logger — single source of truth for logs, errors, and audit events.
• Notification manager + resource alerting (premium tier).
• Update UX — badge→modal flow, orange update button, "Update All", toast notifications, workflow triggers.
• Comprehensive test suite additions: 7 new test files (dns-propagation, notification-manager, ssl-monitor, log-digest, metrics, config-drift-detector, auto-restart-manager) — 120 new tests, all passing.

Changed

• Route response standardization (DC-010). Every {success, ...} envelope across 9 route files now flows through response-helpers (success() / ok()). Only 2 intentional raw-array calls remain (routes/services.js lines 360+368 — frontend wire contract). Error-path envelopes use error() separately. ~62 calls converted across browse/logs/sites/updates/notifications/tailscale/events/workflows/openclaw/dns/health/ca.
• /api/v1/ versioning: all routes mounted under /api/v1/. Legacy un-versioned /api/ mount removed. Frontend, OpenAPI spec, DashCA pages, and all internal path matchers (CSRF exclusions, auth public routes, audit log, rate-limit mounts) updated.
• scripts/release.sh now stages build-rewritten files (sw.js, index.html) for the published tarball, copies VERSION into the tarball, and writes both dashcaddy-api/package.json AND root VERSION on every release. No more version drift.

Fixed

• Credential route path regression (DC-011). routes/services.js had dropped the /services/ prefix from credential routes (POST/DELETE/GET) during a refactor, causing 4 test failures and a live 404. Re-applied the prefix; also fixed a latent ReferenceError where invalid serviceIds called ctx.errorResponse() in a factory-destructured module (replaced with the imported errorResponse helper).
• 19 ESLint warnings (DC-004). Reached zero warnings across src/ — most cleared by the refactor, the final 3 (require-await on resyncHealthChecker, two max-depth violations) fixed in src/app.js.
• Workflow engine init broken — fetchT not imported, NotificationManager constructor missing new, servicesStateManager not hoisted. Fixed; events now fire on startup.
• Container-logs feature was misusing wireModal — short-circuited the rest of features.js and broke unrelated dashboard features. Replaced with the correct wiring.
• CSP hash mismatch between Windows and Linux builds — now computed on LF-normalized index.html so hashes are identical across platforms.
• SW cache tag now derived from bundle content hash, so the service worker invalidates correctly when bundle content changes.
• Updater false-positive loop when commit hash was unknown — fixed.

Removed

• Stale ad-hoc test/debug scripts (comprehensive-test.js, test-security-fixes.js) moved to dashcaddy-api/scripts/legacy/ (preserved, not deleted — 875 lines of security test coverage retained as a manual smoke test).
• Stale root-level files: *.bak, server-old.js, and ad-hoc reports (DEPLOYMENT-SUCCESS.md, FINAL-DEPLOYMENT-REPORT.md, DESLOPIFICATION-ROADMAP.md, etc.) — disk-only cleanup, already gitignored.
• Dead routes/ directory at API root (replaced by src/routes/).

1.5.0 - 2026-05-17

Changed (BREAKING)

• API routes now mounted exclusively under /api/v1/. The legacy un-versioned /api/ mount has been removed. Frontend, OpenAPI spec, DashCA pages, and all internal path matchers (CSRF exclusions, auth public routes, audit log, rate-limit mounts) updated accordingly. Existing integrations that hit /api/... directly must update to /api/v1/.... Held at minor bump (1.5.0) rather than major (2.0.0) — DashCaddy is still pre-1.0-API-stable.

Added

• LICENSE (proprietary EULA) at repo root.
• CHANGELOG.md (this file) — Keep a Changelog format.
• Gitea Actions workflow (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) that runs npm test (with coverage) and npm run lint on every push to main/master and on PRs, plus a security job running npm audit and the security-focused test subset.

Fixed

• 9 pre-existing no-empty ESLint errors in backup-manager.js and routes/backups.js (intentional ignore-failure catches now annotated).

Removed

• Stale files at repo root: *.bak, server-old.js, and ad-hoc deployment/migration/test reports (DEPLOYMENT-SUCCESS.md, FINAL-DEPLOYMENT-REPORT.md, DESLOPIFICATION-ROADMAP.md, error-handling-*.md, WHAT-IS-DASHCADDY.md, etc.). Already gitignored — disk-only cleanup.

1.4.10 - 2026-05-17

Fixed

• release.sh now stages build-rewritten files (sw.js, index.html) so they're included in the published tarball.

1.4.9 - 2026-05-17

Fixed

• Container-logs feature was misusing wireModal, which short-circuited the rest of features.js and broke unrelated dashboard features.

1.4.8 - 2026-05-17

Fixed

• CSP hash now computed on LF-normalized index.html so Windows and Linux builds produce identical hashes.

1.4.7 - 2026-05-17

Fixed

• Dashboard unbroken: corrected bundle order, closed dangling IIFE, removed duplicate const declaration.

1.4.6 - 2026-05-17

Fixed

• sw.js cache tag now derived from bundle content hash, so service worker invalidates correctly when bundle content changes.

1.4.5 - 2026-05-17

Fixed

• Frontend deploy routed through the host-side updater (matches the API container's own update path).

1.4.4 - 2026-05-16

Fixed

• notify endpoint exempted from CSRF (it's called by the host-side updater, not the browser).
• release.sh JSON parsing made portable (no longer assumes GNU jq semantics on every host).

1.4.3 - 2026-05-16

Added

• Seamless release flow: push-notify endpoint, VERSION file copy into release tarball, robust SSH mirror handling on port 22022.

1.4.2 - 2026-05-16

1.4.1 - 2026-05-16

Changed

• Version bump only — packaging plumbing for the 1.4.x release line.

1.4.0 - 2026-05-06

Added

• scripts/release.sh — one-command release cutting and publishing.

---

1.3.1 - 2026-05-06

Fixed

• Installer: added src/ directory to the deploy manifest; dropped MakeDirectory=yes from the systemd updater path unit.
• Self-updater: copies src/, replaces routes/ in place instead of nesting it inside the existing tree.

1.3.0 - 2026-05-06

Added

• Self-updater supports DASHCADDY_API_SOURCE_DIR env override for non-standard deploy layouts.

Fixed

• Self-updater now clears all pending history entries, not just one.

---

1.2.0 - 2026-05-14

Added

• Container Log Viewer with streaming, search, and download.
• Service filter, batch operations across multiple services, and snapshot capture.
• Auto CSP hash updates during build.
• Dashboard version button and self-update UI wiring.
• Release policy checks and dashboard version verification.

Changed

• All routine console.log calls gated behind window.DASHCADDY_DEBUG flag for quieter production output.
• All console.error calls routed through ErrorHandler for consistent tracking.

Fixed

• Updater no longer triggers a false-positive "update available" loop when commit hash is unknown.

---

1.1.5 - 2026-03-23

Added

• Pylon health relay for remote service health checks (with relay fallback on /probe/:id).
• Host-side auto-updater for zero-touch API container rebuilds.

Fixed

• Service edit preserves service ID on subdomain change; accepts localhost as a valid IP.
• Taxi theme accent color now distinct from text.
• Prevents encryption key conflicts; adds license backup on rotation.

1.1.1 - 2026-03-23

Fixed

• Service edit, CSRF token stability, and license restore.

---

[1.0.x] - 2026-03-05 → 2026-03-22

Initial release line. Highlights from work between v1.0 and v1.1:

Added

• Cross-platform path support (Windows + Linux deployments).
• Subdirectory routing mode for public-domain deployments.
• Auto-update system for DashCaddy instances.
• Batched status endpoint (frontend performance).

• ESLint + Prettier baseline with auto-fixes.

Security

• 7 critical + 16 high/medium API security bugs fixed.
