── Where the status page gets its data ──────────────────────────────────────
Asked in as many words, and fairly: the page for maintaining incidents exists
(console → Betrieb → Störungen) and nothing anywhere said so. The page now
carries the answer at the top — what is written there appears publicly at
once, the four components measure themselves, and there is a link straight to
the live status page.

── Automatic updates, inside a window, switchable ───────────────────────────
Tick it and name the days and hours; leave it alone and nothing changes. The
button stays either way: manual is always possible, at any hour.

It leaves exactly the same request the button leaves — same file, same agent,
same run. A second path into a deployment would be a second set of rules to
keep in step with the first, and the automation must not be able to do what an
operator is prevented from doing by hand: it checks the same three things the
button is disabled by (agent alive, something released, nothing running).

Nothing guards against having already updated by hand, and nothing needs to:
an installation that is current has nothing available, so pressing the button
at four leaves the five o'clock window with nothing to do. That was the
owner's own question and it answers itself.

Defaults are Tuesday to Thursday, 05:00–06:00. Not Monday — the week starts
and every fault costs double. Not Friday — nobody wants to repair a deployment
on a Friday afternoon. Not three in the morning: if it goes wrong, the person
who has to fix it is asleep.

A window whose end is before its start wraps past midnight, because 23:00 to
02:00 is a reasonable thing to ask for and reading it as an empty range would
silently mean "never". Switched on with no weekday selected is refused rather
than corrected — it is a configuration that reads as working and does nothing.

The clock is the wall clock (R19): an operator who writes 05:00 means five in
the morning where they live, and a window that drifts by an hour twice a year
is a window nobody trusts.

nexxo b85df4c141 Rebuild the status page as a status page
Asked for after looking at how real ones are built. The shape they all share
is a convention, and a convention is what lets somebody find the answer
without being taught the page: banner, components each with ninety days of
uptime, then the written record underneath. This page had only the banner —
the version that is of no use the morning after, because "Alle Dienste in
Betrieb" is true and says nothing to somebody who was locked out the evening
before.

Three things are new.

The ninety-day bar. It cannot be reconstructed after the fact: the monitoring
table holds the last verdict per instance, not a history. So a sampler
(clupilot:sample-status, every five minutes beside the monitoring sync)
writes counts into one row per component per day, and the page divides them.
A day with no row is drawn as a gap and says "nicht aufgezeichnet" — never
green. Degraded samples count as reachable in the percentage but still colour
the day: folding them into downtime reports a slow morning as an outage,
ignoring them loses the only trace of it.

The incident record. An operator reports a disruption in the console, posts
updates as it develops, and the entry that says "behoben" is the same action
that closes it — two separate steps is how a page ends up with a resolved
note under an incident that still reports as ongoing. There is deliberately
no way to edit an update: it is a statement made at a time, corrections are a
further entry. An open incident may make a component look worse than the
probes found it, never better.

Scheduled maintenance, from the windows the console already keeps rather than
a second list somebody has to remember to fill in.

The measurement moved out of the controller into ServiceHealth, shared with
the sampler, so the banner and the bars cannot disagree about what "healthy"
means.

The page now uses the shared design system and the site's header and footer.
Its self-contained stylesheet was there to survive a broken asset build; it
does not survive one — if the stylesheet cannot be served the application
serving this page is already failing, and mid-deployment every route answers
with the maintenance page. What the exemption bought was a third design
nobody maintained.

Found while building: durationMinutes had its operands the wrong way round,
and diffInMinutes is signed, so the public page printed "Dauer -86 Minuten".
