MAIL_SCHEME=smtp is Symfony's opportunistic scheme (upgrade to STARTTLS
if offered, don't fail if not) — not a "no encryption" statement.
Mapping it to 'none' silently turned every existing MAIL_SCHEME=smtp
installation's encrypted-when-possible connection into an always-
plaintext one. Maps to 'tls' (STARTTLS required) instead: stricter than
smtp's own default, so a relay lacking STARTTLS now fails loudly rather
than leaking credentials.
saveServer() wrote host/port/encryption without touching any mailbox, so
the console kept showing every mailbox as verified against a server
nothing had tested since. Mirrors EditMailbox::save()'s existing guard on
a single mailbox's own identity, just at server scope: only clears when a
field actually changed, so re-saving unedited values leaves a real
verification alone.
Both places now delegate the actual clear to new Mailbox::
invalidateVerification()/invalidateAllVerifications() methods rather than
touching last_verified_at directly, sharing the mutation. The "did this
change" comparison stays separate in each caller - one diffs a loaded
model's attributes, the other diffs persisted settings against incoming
scalars, and forcing them through one function would add machinery no
actual duplication justifies.

MailboxTester required a usable SECRETS_KEY unconditionally, refusing an
unauthenticated relay's test-send on a fresh install with no key yet, even
though real sending never touches the cipher for that mailbox. Gated the
check on authenticates, same as the password-presence check beside it.
Comparison pass across MailboxTester and MailboxTransport turned up two more
of the same shape. MailboxTransport's delegate-cache fingerprint decrypted
$box->password unconditionally, even when unauthenticated and never going to
use it — a mailbox that once authenticated, stored a password, and later had
authenticates unchecked would crash real sending the moment SECRETS_KEY
became unusable. And MailboxTester had no guard against a stored port <1;
Symfony silently reinterprets that as port 25 rather than refusing it, so the
test button could reach whatever happens to listen there and report success
for a configuration MailboxTransport refuses outright.

An SMTP relay with a host and a from address but no username or password
- a trusted local or private-network relay - always used to be seeded as
a placeholder, because the takeover required a username to treat an
account as real, and Mailbox::isConfigured() always required a stored
password. Laravel's own SMTP mailer has supported unauthenticated relays
all along.
Add mailboxes.authenticates (default true, so every existing row keeps
its current behaviour) to tell "does not authenticate" apart from
"authenticates, but nobody has typed the password yet" - the same empty
password column used to mean both. The takeover migration now seeds the
real account off the host/address alone and marks it authenticates=false
only when neither a username nor a password resolved; isConfigured(),
MailboxTransport and MailboxTester all read it before requiring or
sending a password; the edit modal gets a checkbox for it with the
password field's hint updated to match, in both languages.
MAIL_SCHEME=smtps or an smtps:// MAIL_URL on a non-465 port used to be
downgraded to STARTTLS because mail.encryption was derived from the port
alone. Resolve the scheme first (from MAIL_SCHEME directly, or from the
URL's own scheme via the same ConfigurationUrlParser Laravel uses) and
only fall back to the port heuristic when nothing was actually stated -
which is also what keeps this machine's invalid MAIL_SCHEME=tls from
silently steering the result.
isUsable() checked only "is SECRETS_KEY nonempty", so a set-but-malformed
key (wrong length, garbage base64) read back as usable even though
encrypter() rejects it two lines below. EditMailbox::save() and
MailboxTester::run() both gate on isUsable() specifically to avoid an
uncaught RuntimeException reaching the operator; a lying isUsable() meant
that guard did not fire in exactly the configuration it exists for.
Both methods now read resolveKey() — the base64: prefix, the raw-base64
path, the 32-byte check — so they cannot disagree about a value either
one is given. SecretVault::isUsable() and the secrets console page's
"no key" banner both delegate down to this and are covered here too, not
assumed to inherit the fix correctly.
The seed migration read config('mail.mailers.smtp.host') and its three
siblings directly. An install configuring SMTP through MAIL_URL (the
other form config/mail.php supports) never sets those individual keys —
MailManager only substitutes the URL's components in at transport-build
time, inside its own protected getConfig(). Read raw, that left the
migration seeding config/mail.php's own placeholder defaults, which the
UNCONFIGURED_HOST/UNCONFIGURED_PORT guards then read as genuinely unset:
blank host, port 0, an unconfigured mailbox, for an install that was
sending mail successfully.
resolveSmtpConfig() calls the same Illuminate\Support\ConfigurationUrlParser
MailManager::getConfig() itself delegates to, so this is the same
resolution rather than a second copy of its merge order. Verified against
the real (protected) getConfig() via reflection: the URL wins for
host/port/username/password wherever it actually supplies one, and an
unset MAIL_URL leaves this a no-op.
The takeover migration seeded `address` from MAIL_USERNAME and left
`username` null unconditionally, conflating the SMTP login with the
sender address. Whenever the two differ — an API-key username, a
shared relay login — mail would go out From the login instead of the
address the system was actually configured to send from, exactly like
this installation: MAIL_USERNAME is no-reply@clupilot.com but
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS is hello@clupilot.local.
`address` now reads config('mail.from.address'), falling back to the
SMTP login only when that reads back config/mail.php's own unset
placeholder (env('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', 'hello@example.com') — the same
masking problem UNCONFIGURED_HOST already guards against for
MAIL_HOST). `username` is set to the SMTP login only when it actually
differs from the resolved address, since Mailbox::smtpUsername()
already falls back to address when username is null. display_name
now reads config('mail.from.name') instead of a hardcoded literal.
The placeholder domain for the four non-configured mailboxes still
comes from the SMTP login, not from mail.from.address — the two can
name different domains, and only the login's is proven to accept mail
for a given install.

savePurposes() only checked that each key was a nonempty string, so a
stale or tampered mailbox key (reachable by posting straight to
/livewire/update) saved successfully while MailboxResolver silently
returned null for it. Every purpose's key must now name a mailbox that
exists; system's must additionally be active, since every unmapped or
inactive OTHER purpose falls through to it.
EditMailbox::save() also cleared last_verified_at only when the
password changed, but smtpUsername() depends on address and username
too (falling back to address when username is blank) — changing
either while leaving the password untouched kept showing a successful
verification for an identity nothing had actually tested.
EsmtpTransport's autoTls (default true) and requireTls (default false)
are independent of the implicit-TLS constructor argument: 'tls' left
these at their defaults, so a server that omitted STARTTLS sent
mailbox credentials in the clear while reporting success, and 'none'
would silently upgrade the moment a server offered STARTTLS. Both
MailboxTransport and MailboxTester already duplicated the "ssl, or
port 465 ⇒ implicit" half of this decision independently; MailTlsPolicy
is now the one place both read, for both dimensions.
MailboxTester still builds through Mail::build() rather than a hand-built
transport: MailManager::createSmtpTransport() forwards the whole config
array to EsmtpTransportFactory as DSN options, which already reads
auto_tls/require_tls itself, so the same policy reaches this path
through keys the config array already supports.
I3: nothing stopped an operator unchecking Aktiv on the mailbox that
mail.purpose.system points at. MailboxResolver::active() filters an
inactive mailbox at BOTH the direct lookup and the system fallback, so
that one checkbox could take mail.purpose.system to null and every
purpose without its own mapping down with it — the existing
system_required guard on savePurposes() reads as if this were covered,
but it only blocks the empty-mapping path, not this one.
EditMailbox::save() now refuses active=false against the mailbox 'system'
currently points at, the same way savePurposes() already refuses to leave
'system' empty.
I4: Admin\Mail::saveServer() writes mail.host — the platform's outbound
relay for every purpose mailbox at once — and CloudReady::toMail() puts a
customer's Nextcloud admin password in cleartext in the message body. So a
signed-in mail.manage session was already a credential-interception
primitive, the same threat Admin\Secrets' second gate exists for. Both
saveServer() and EditMailbox::save() (only when a new password is actually
being typed) now also require passwordRecentlyConfirmed(), following the
ConfirmsPassword pattern Secrets.php and Settings.php's two-factor actions
already use — including their per-action UI shape (an inline confirm form
scoped to the gated action), not a whole-page lock, so address, display
name, username, no-reply, active and the purpose mapping stay reachable
without confirming, per the brief's capability split.
Both gated and ungated paths are covered by tests, and both guards were
mutated away and confirmed to fail before being restored.
Mail::to($x)->queue($mail) resolves the DEFAULT mailer, and
Illuminate\Mail\Mailer::queue() (vendor Mailer.php:482) does
`$view->mailer($this->name)->queue($this->queue)` — overwriting
MaintenanceAnnouncementMail/MaintenanceCancelledMail's own 'cp_maintenance'
with the default mailer's name ('array' in tests, 'log'/whatever
MAIL_MAILER is in prod) before the job is even built. Both mails kept
sending through the old .env account instead of MailboxTransport. CloudReady
was never affected — MailChannel.php:66 preserves a notification's own
mailer.
Fix: name the mailer before queueing — Mail::mailer($mail->mailer)->to(...).
$this->name on the resolved Mailer is then already $mail->mailer, so the
vendor overwrite becomes a no-op instead of a silent downgrade. Confirmed by
reading the vendor source, not assumed.
SenderAddressTest's "names the purpose mailer..." test asserted
$mail->mailer on a bare, never-queued mailable, which proves nothing about
what survives queueing — the constructor sets it right regardless of what
MaintenanceNotifier does with it. Replaced it with one that drives
MaintenanceNotifier::deliver() under Queue::fake() and inspects the pushed
SendQueuedMailable's mailable. Verified it fails against the pre-fix code
first (the pushed job carried mailer = 'array'), then verified the fix
makes it pass, then mutated the fix away and watched it fail again.
MailboxSeedMigrationTest.php had the actual .env MAIL_PASSWORD for
no-reply@clupilot.com hard-coded into a test fixture — replaced with an
obvious dummy. Grepped the whole branch (576cfca..HEAD) and the working
tree for that string and for every other real secret value in .env;
nothing else leaked.
Separately, the seed migration's SECRETS_KEY-missing warning claimed a
password "was NOT copied into the mailbox table" even when a vault row
already existed and its ciphertext WAS carried across a few lines below,
unconditionally on $canEncrypt. An operator debugging a live mail outage
would have been sent to re-enter a password that was already sitting in
the column. The warning now distinguishes the two cases and says which
one actually happened.
It only ever loaded the page and asserted the banner, never a password
save — but its name claimed the crash-on-save case, which is exactly the
promise that let that bug ship unnoticed once. The test that earns the
crash claim is its new neighbour, added for the same finding.
EditMailbox::save() now checks SecretCipher::isUsable() before touching a
typed password and reports it as a form error, instead of letting
SecretCipher::encrypt() throw all the way to Laravel's debug page. Also
switches the mail.manage migration to Role::findOrCreate, matching every
sibling capability migration, so a squashed replay can't hit
RoleDoesNotExist.
The vault's mail.password row is no longer deleted by this migration at
all, in either direction: deleting it unconditionally destroyed a real
password whenever MAIL_USERNAME was empty (nowhere to carry it to), and
even on a successful carry-over a later rollback had nothing left to fall
back to. Reproduced both against real MariaDB, along with a migrations-
table drift that crashed a retry on the mailboxes.key unique constraint —
fixed with Mailbox::firstOrNew() and a transaction around each direction.
down() now goes through the new Settings::forget() instead of a raw
delete, so it stops leaving the settings cache holding what it just
removed. A skipped .env password (SECRETS_KEY still unset) now prints an
operator-visible line instead of migrating clean and failing silently
later. Host/port that resolve to config/mail.php's own placeholder
defaults are treated as unset rather than as a real relay.
The seed migration also guards against SECRETS_KEY being unset at migrate
time (encrypting the .env password would otherwise throw and take the
whole migration down, on a fresh install as much as in the test suite),
and the four tests/Feature/Mail files written before this migration reset
the mailbox table in their beforeEach so they keep testing what they did
before mailboxes.key collided with the seeded rows.
A mutation the reviewer ran (if ($box !== null) -> if (true)) left every
test green: CloudReady hand-rolled the same null-mailbox guard as
SendsFromMailbox, but nothing exercised its null branch. Added the
missing test, then extracted the decision itself (null mailbox -> no
sender fields, no_reply -> no Reply-To) into one shared method so an
Envelope-shaped and a MailMessage-shaped consumer can no longer disagree.
Re-review of the previous fix round found the "cannot disagree" part of
finding 4 was still open. resolution() had unified the log/array/null/
mailbox decision, but inside the mailbox branch describe() returned
$box?->address unconditionally while delegate() additionally required
isConfigured() before using it. A mailbox with active=true, a real
address, and no password produced
'mailbox://support/support@clupilot.com' — reading as entirely healthy
— while send() threw. That is exactly the harm the original finding
named: the log says fine, the mail fails.
resolution() now decides "unconfigured" too, not just "which
non-delivering mode": it calls isConfigured() itself, once, and returns
that verdict alongside the box. describe() and delegate() both branch
on the SAME result again, the same way they already did for log/array/
null — a mailbox with no password now reads as
'support@clupilot.com [unconfigured]' rather than a plain address, and
the address stays visible so an operator can tell WHICH mailbox needs
fixing.
Also renamed a test the re-review flagged as promising more than it
checked: "registers a mailer per purpose without touching the database
at boot" only ever verified the config array's shape — the DB-touching
claim is a separate, already-passing test just below it
(defines every purpose mailer as a plain literal...). Renamed to
"registers a mailer for every purpose". No behaviour change.
Added a test creating a mailbox with no password and asserting the DSN
both names the address AND carries the marker, plus that send() still
throws — proving agreement, not just a matching label painted on
separately. Mutated describe()'s unconfigured branch to drop the
marker: the test failed exactly on the missing 'unconfigured' string
(DSN read as a plain, healthy-looking address again). Reverted, reran,
passes.
Full suite: 667 passed. vendor/bin/pint --test clean on both files.

The reviewer continued the mutation sweep from Task 4's own commit and
found three more unpinned lines in delegate(), plus two real behaviour
gaps, all inside the same 40-line method:
- The fingerprint refresh (the headline feature: a worker's mailer
must pick up a corrected password without a restart) had no test —
mutating its check to "delegate === null" left the suite green.
- The implicit-TLS third argument to EsmtpTransport had no test either
— mutating it to a hardcoded true left the suite green, because the
only assertion touching it was instanceof EsmtpTransport, which the
hanging variant also satisfies.
- isLogging() only ever checked for 'log', but phpunit.xml sets
MAIL_MAILER=array for the whole suite. Task 5 wires real mailables
to these mailers next; the first feature test that sends one without
Mail::fake() would have opened a real SMTP connection.
- describe() and delegate() each ran their own copy of that guard —
which is exactly how deleting it from ONLY delegate() passed the
whole suite in the first place: __toString() kept reporting "log"
from its own untouched copy.
- An unconfigured host/port (Settings::get('mail.host', '') and a
stored null port casting to 0) built a transport pointed at
smtp://:587 or silently downgraded to plaintext port 25, instead of
refusing the way a missing mailbox already does.
Fixes: replaced isLogging() with resolution(), the one place that now
decides "log, array, null-default, or a real mailbox" — describe() and
delegate() both branch on ITS result, so a guard broken in one cannot
look fine in the other. Added an explicit RuntimeException for a blank
host or non-positive port, guarded the same way as the missing-mailbox
case just above it.
Tests: added coverage for the fingerprint rebuild (reuses the same
delegate until the password actually changes, proven by object
identity), the exact DSN string for both the STARTTLS (587) and
implicit-TLS (465) cases, 'array' and unset-default both landing on a
non-delivering transport, and the blank host/bad port throwing.
Mutated each of these four in turn on the final code and confirmed:
fingerprint check removed -> the reuse test fails (same object handed
back after the password changed); TLS argument hardcoded true -> the
587 DSN test fails ('smtps://...' where 'smtp://...:587' was
expected); NON_DELIVERING narrowed back to ['log'] -> both the array
and unset-default tests fail (a real EsmtpTransport where a safe
transport was expected); host/port guards removed -> both throw
expectations fail. Reverted each, reran, all twelve tests pass again.
Replaced the two tests that reached into delegate() via Closure::bind
to check "log or SMTP" with one behavioural test: point Settings at a
closed loopback port (127.0.0.1:1, so refusal is instant and entirely
local — no DNS, no dependency on this environment's network egress
policy) and assert Log::shouldReceive('debug')->once() while sending
for real through Mail::mailer('cp_support')->raw(...). Mutated
NON_DELIVERING to drop 'log' specifically and confirmed this test
alone catches it: a real connection attempt to the closed port throws
TransportException (Connection refused) in under 300ms. Reverted,
reran, passes again.
Also: the two tests that only checked the config array's shape and a
snapshot of the resolved address promised more than they verified —
CLAUDE.md R19 names a test that recomputes the implementation as
checking nothing. Added a source-level test that the five cp_* config
entries are parenthesis-free literals (same technique
DisplayTimezoneTest/IconLayoutTest use: a property of the file, not of
one run) as the actual "no query at boot" proof, and renamed the
send-time test to what it verifies now that the fingerprint test above
covers the live-refresh claim properly.

Review of Task 4: MailboxResolver::for() only fell back on a missing
mapping or a missing row. Deactivating a mailbox — the operator's
explicit "do not use this" — left it resolvable anyway, so
MailboxTransport reached it, found isConfigured() false, and threw
instead of quietly using the next candidate the way every other
"this mailbox is unusable" case does. Worse, __toString() still
reported the deactivated address as though it were healthy.
named() now runs through a new active() filter at BOTH lookup sites —
the purpose's own mapping and the system fallback — so an inactive
system mailbox is refused exactly like a missing one, not handed out
as the last resort. A missing password stays deliberately unfiltered
here: that is a MailboxTransport concern (loud failure naming the
mailbox), not a resolver fallback trigger — silently rerouting mail
because a password hasn't been typed yet would hide the gap instead
of surfacing it.
Added two tests and mutated active() to a no-op filter to confirm they
catch it: both failed (one expected the system mailbox, got null; the
other expected null, got the inactive mailbox's full attribute dump).
Reverted, reran, both pass again.

Five purpose-named mailers (cp_maintenance, cp_provisioning, cp_support,
cp_billing, cp_system) land in config/mail.php as plain static entries —
no query runs to build them. Mail::extend('mailbox', ...) in
AppServiceProvider registers a transport that looks up its mailbox
through MailboxResolver only once a mailer is actually resolved, which
for queued mail is inside the worker at send time, never at boot.
Mutation-tested the brief's own three tests by deleting the MAIL_MAILER
guard from MailboxTransport::delegate(): all three stayed green. They
only exercise __toString()/describe(), a code path separate from the one
that actually sends. Added two tests that reach into delegate() itself
(a bound closure, since it's private) and assert the transport it
actually builds: LogTransport while MAIL_MAILER=log, EsmtpTransport once
it isn't. Re-ran the same mutation against the strengthened suite: it
now fails (EsmtpTransport where LogTransport was expected), then passes
again once reverted.
Verified two things against the installed versions before writing this:
LogTransport takes a Psr\Log\LoggerInterface and Log::channel(null)
resolves to the default channel rather than throwing, and
Mail::extend('mailbox', ...) is read by
MailManager::createSymfonyTransport() via $config['transport'] before it
would fall back to createSmtpTransport() — both matched the brief
exactly, no changes needed there.

The old test rotated app.key and expected the password to stay
readable, but Laravel's encrypter is a container singleton resolved
once — config()->set('app.key', ...) never rebuilds it, so the
rotation the test performed was invisible to any code path going
through it. Confirmed by mutation: rewiring Mailbox to Crypt::
encryptString/decryptString (genuinely APP_KEY-keyed, the exact
regression this constraint exists to forbid) left the old test green.
Replace it with two tests: a positive proof that rotating SECRETS_KEY
makes a stored password unreadable (the one that discriminates), and
a separate check that rotating APP_KEY does not, with
forgetInstance('encrypter') so that rotation is actually visible to
whatever the password accessor resolves.
Re-ran the same mutation against the new test: it fails (exit 1, the
SECRETS_KEY test reports the expected DecryptException was not
thrown), then passes again once the mutation is reverted.
Mailbox hand-rolled the same creating-time UUID assignment that
App\Models\Concerns\HasUuid already provides to 17 other models under
R11 (URLs address records by UUID, not integer PK), and skipped the
route-key binding that comes with it. Swap onto the trait, and cover
both the assignment and the route key with a test matching the
convention already used for Host/Order.
Also match MailboxFactory's @extends annotation to how the other
factories in the repo write it (Pint's fully_qualified_strict_types
rule turns a fully-qualified docblock reference into an import plus a
short name anyway, so this is what it would end up as either way).
Three things reported together.
── Editing belongs in a modal (R20)
The seats table grew its input fields into the row. It worked and it looked
broken: the row grew, the columns beside it jumped, and a table half in edit
mode reads as a rendering fault rather than as a form. The project already had
the answer — EditDatacenter, whose own header comment says it avoids exactly
that row-height jump — and the seats table simply did not use it.
EditSeat is now a ModalComponent. A modal is reachable WITHOUT the page's route
middleware, so it resolves the customer itself and re-reads the record rather
than trusting a hydrated property: a forged addressEditable would otherwise
open the address of an accepted seat, and the address is the person — editing
it hands one employee's access to another with nobody told. Only an invitation
still in flight can have its address corrected, which is the case that actually
comes up.
The actions column is now always drawn. It used to disappear when the only seat
was the owner, on the reasoning that there was nothing to act on. But every
seat can be renamed, and a column that vanishes does not read as "not
applicable here" — it reads as "this product cannot do that", which is how it
was reported, three times. The owner's row says "Geschützt" rather than leaving
an empty cell.
Also caught here: the edit fields carried class-wide #[Validate] attributes, so
an empty edit form made the INVITE button fail on a field the invite form does
not have. Rules for an action belong to the action.
── The update button
"I cannot run an update, it says everything is current." `behind` is a READING
taken by the agent every five minutes, not the state of the world — push a
commit and the console insists it is up to date and refuses to act. The agent
does its own fetch before deciding, so asking against a stale reading costs one
fetch and finds nothing; being locked out costs the deployment. The button is
now offered whenever an agent is alive and no run is in flight, labelled for
what it does rather than for what the last reading said.
── The update never announced that it had finished
Because the thing being watched restarts the thing doing the watching. Mid-run
every wire:poll request fails, and what answers afterwards is a new build being
questioned by the old page's JavaScript — so the card sat on "läuft" until
somebody reloaded by hand. A small Alpine watcher now asks a plain JSON
endpoint (no Livewire, no component state, no assets), treats a failed request
as the restart rather than as a fault worth giving up over, and reloads once
the build it is looking at is no longer the build it started with.
── Support
The page was a decorated placeholder: a button that raised a toast saying the
form was "only hinted at in the prototype", three invented ticket titles living
in the translation file, and no way to see what became of anything. It looked
thin because nothing on it was real.
It now leads with the customer's own requests — what somebody arriving here
wants to know is what they asked and whether anyone answered — with contact
details moved to the side where they belong. The form attaches the plan, the
instance and who is asking automatically: making a customer describe their own
server back to the people who built it is the part of support people hate. FAQ
answers end where the thing can actually be done, and "is it me or is it you"
is answered by a link to the status page.

The console announced an update for "spätestens um 15:21" while the clock on
the wall said 17:21. Not a formatting slip in one string: fourteen views and
four components printed database values straight out, so every absolute time in
the product was two hours out all summer and one hour out all winter.
Two of those views looked as though they had handled it. They called
->timezone(config('app.timezone'))
which reads like "convert to local time" and, app.timezone being the STORAGE
zone that must stay UTC, converts to UTC — a no-op wearing the costume of a
fix, which is worse than no call at all because it stops the next person
looking. That exact string is now banned by test.
Worse than the labels were two FORMS. Maintenance windows and plan versions
filled their datetime-local fields from UTC and parsed what came back as UTC. A
datetime-local field carries no offset — it is the digits a person reads off
their own clock — so an operator typing 21:00 scheduled a window for 23:00
their time, and nothing anywhere said so. App\Support\LocalTime now holds
toField() and fromField() side by side, because getting one end right is not
half a fix, it is a fresh bug.
The mechanism is one Carbon macro, ->local(). It copies before converting:
Illuminate\Support\Carbon is mutable, so without that, rendering a timestamp
would rewrite the model attribute as a side effect and anything comparing or
saving it afterwards would be an hour or two out. Both Carbon classes get the
same body — Carbon keeps macros in one global table, so the second registration
replaces the first for every Carbon class, and two different bodies meant the
immutable version, safe for itself, silently became the mutable one's
implementation too. My own test caught that.
The existing tests had not caught any of this because they built their expected
values with the same wrong call the views used — a test that recomputes the
implementation asserts nothing. They now assert the wall clock, and the queued
update additionally asserts that the UTC time is NOT shown.
Recorded as R19 in CLAUDE.md and enforced by tests/Feature/DisplayTimezoneTest:
no Blade or Livewire component may format an absolute time without ->local(),
the UTC no-op is banned, storage stays UTC, both sides of the DST boundary are
checked, ->local() must not mutate, and a form field must round-trip to the
same instant.

Availability is now counted from our own monitoring answers. Uptime Kuma knows
the figure, but the REST bridge in front of it only answers "healthy, yes or
no", and waiting for the bridge to grow an endpoint would have left the panel
without the number indefinitely. The sync already asks on a schedule; counting
the answers gives a percentage that is ours and explainable.
An unanswered check is not a failed one — the counter only moves when a real
answer arrived, so our monitoring going down does not become the customer's
outage on the one figure they are asked to trust. An instance nobody has ever
checked shows no availability rather than 100 %.
The downgrade path existed nowhere. Going down is not the mirror of going up:
it can ask an instance to hold more than the target plan allows. Smaller plans
are now listed even when they cannot be taken, with the obstacle in the
customer's own numbers — "you have 31 users, this package allows 10" — because
a greyed-out button that does not name what is in the way is the thing people
ring about. Storage is checked against the last real reading rather than the
contractual allowance, or anyone who once bought a large plan could never leave
it. The limit is re-checked in the action: a rule enforced only in markup is
not enforced.
And the smaller corrections from this round:
- The cloud tab carried a hardcoded "B" as the instance's initial, and the PHP
and MariaDB versions, which tell a tenant nothing they can act on.
- "EU — Serverstandort im Angebot festgehalten" under a label already reading
"Serverstandort" was two sentences saying nothing. It is the country.
- Support promised a reply "binnen 4 Std." with nothing behind it. What is true
everywhere else is an answer on the same working day.
- The actions column appeared even when no row in the table had an action.

The panel could not show the storage ring or the transfer trend because nothing
measured them. instance_traffic keeps one row per billing period — right for an
allowance, useless as a series — and storage consumption was never sampled at
all, so the card could only ever state what was sold rather than what is used.
instance_metrics holds one row per instance per day, written by the traffic
collector on the visit it already makes. A second scheduler entry against the
same Proxmox API would have doubled the load and the failure modes for no gain.
Disk usage comes from `df` inside the guest rather than from Proxmox's own disk
figure, which reports the allocated image: that would show every customer a full
500 GB from their first day.
The rule the whole thing is built on: a reading that could not be taken is not a
reading of zero. The disk columns are nullable and left untouched when the guest
agent does not answer, so yesterday's figure stands instead of the ring dropping
to empty — which would tell a customer their data had vanished. Missing days
stay missing in the series rather than being filled with zeroes, which would
draw an outage that never happened. Both are covered by tests.

The console was a second product. admin-tokens.css held a complete dark set —
its own surfaces, its own orange, its own status triad — so every shared
component had to work in two worlds, and the two halves of the application
drifted apart in ways nobody could see from inside either one. That file now
carries density and nothing else: smaller type, tighter rows, tighter corners.
Colour comes from one place.
The tokens themselves are rebuilt around what the redesign settled on:
- Radii scaled to object size (9/11/16/22) instead of one value everywhere,
which is what made the interface read as a design-system specification
rather than as a product.
- Warm, broad, low shadows. A neutral grey drop shadow belongs to a different
design language and reads as cold on this ground.
- --accent-press, which several rules already referenced and nothing defined.
An undefined var() does not make a browser skip the declaration; it computes
to , and for background-color that is transparent — the accent button
lost its fill on hover and left white text on white.
- No serif. A serif headline is what made every page read as a document, which
is the impression the whole redesign exists to remove. --font-serif now
points at the sans so nothing breaks while call sites are cleaned up.
The two shells are one shell with two configurations, and both finally have a
mobile navigation: the sidebar used to simply disappear below 900px, leaving no
way to move around the application at all on a phone.
The customer dashboard is bound to real records — instance, seats, traffic,
backups, contract — instead of the fixtures it shipped with. Where something is
not measured, storage consumption, it says what was contractually agreed rather
than inventing a figure. This is the sheet a customer forwards to their auditor.

The console has been unreachable over the VPN, and the cause was the readiness
probe rather than the tunnel. The gateway binds to the WireGuard hub address
alone; the probe asked 127.0.0.1, where nothing has ever listened. It could only
fail, so VPN_READY stayed false, and on that basis the application withheld the
`DNS = 10.66.0.1` line from every client config it issued. A phone then built
the tunnel, asked its normal resolver for the console hostname, got the public
address and had its connection closed — indistinguishable from "this site does
not exist", which is exactly what it looked like.
Probing over TLS on the bare address would not have worked either: the site
matches on the console's hostname, so a request without SNI is offered no
certificate. The gateway now answers a plain-HTTP health port on the hub
address, which removes TLS, SNI and name resolution from the question and
answers only what is being asked — is this gateway listening, in this network
namespace, right now. Caddy refuses to start when the certificate is unreadable,
so a health port that answers still proves the whole file loaded.
Also here, all found while looking:
- Icons pushed their label onto a second line and rendered a size larger than
asked for. Tailwind's preflight makes an svg display:block, and `.size-4` and
`.size-5` have equal specificity, so stylesheet order decided — and it emits
size-4 first. Every icon written as 16px was silently 20px. Recorded as R18.
- Four error pages printed `errors.404.hint` in place of a sentence: the lang
files give those codes a null hint and Laravel returns the key for a null line.
- The Developer role had no label in either language, so the dropdown showed
`admin_settings.role_developer`.
- The secrets area held one key, which is not worth a password gate. It now
carries the credentials that actually stop the business when they expire —
DNS, monitoring, SMTP — and the test button appears only where a checker
exists, instead of reporting on Stripe whatever was being looked at.
- The update button said nothing about when a queued run would start or where a
running one had got to; both are now shown, and a failure names its step.

An empty 404 is itself information: it says something terminates TLS here and
chose not to answer. The console and the websocket endpoint now close the
connection instead, which is what a hostname that serves nothing looks like.
The websocket endpoint answers a genuine upgrade — verified live, 101 — and
nothing else; a browser opening it gets a closed connection.
Reviewing that turned up two holes that mattered more than the thing being
reviewed.
The compose defaults published the application and Reverb on every interface.
Docker publishes ports ahead of UFW, so those backends were reachable from the
internet with the firewall closed — and reaching a backend directly skips the
proxy, and with it every hostname and address rule keeping the console private.
The defaults are loopback now, and an update rebinds an existing installation
that is behind a proxy actually running and holding 443. A development box
without one is left alone, because taking its port away would look like the
machine had broken.
And the console's own "open" switch was emitting 0.0.0.0/0 into the proxy's
allowlist. One click would have put the console on the public internet, which
is the exact state the owner's rule exists to prevent. Switching it off relaxes
the application's check; the proxy keeps its list, always.
The reference proxy config carries the arrangement: QUIC early data off, since
an address-based decision taken on 0-RTT can answer 425 and some browsers do
not retry — an intermittent lockout from the console is the worst kind — and
explicit handling for plain HTTP, whose automatic redirect otherwise announces
both hidden names to anyone who asks.

The owner's phone shows a blank page on the VPN. That page is the reverse proxy
refusing the request, and it refuses because the phone is not on the tunnel: the
client config routes only the management subnet, so a request to the console's
public hostname leaves over the mobile network and arrives from a carrier
address. It is also why the peer reads "last contact: never" — WireGuard only
handshakes when it has traffic to send, and nothing is ever routed in.
The obvious fixes are both wrong. Adding the server's public address to
AllowedIPs routes the WireGuard endpoint into the tunnel it is trying to
establish. A public DNS record pointing at 10.66.0.1 publishes the internal
subnet to anyone enumerating the domain — the owner raised that himself, and he
was right.
So the console is served INSIDE the tunnel instead. A small resolver and a small
gateway share the hub container's network namespace, which is where wg0 lives,
and answer on 10.66.0.1 directly. A client therefore needs no route beyond the
subnet it already has, the host's docker bridge is never exposed, and the
request reaches the application with its real 10.66.0.x source — which is what
the console's own allowlist checks. The gateway reuses the certificate the
public Caddy already renews: a certificate is bound to the name, not to the
address serving it, so nothing new is issued and nothing internal reaches a
public zone.
Most of this commit is the arithmetic of not lying about it. Review found
fourteen ways the arrangement could report itself working while it was not:
enabling the compose profile after the services were started rather than before;
starting a gateway with empty certificate paths, which can only crash; treating
"container created" as "container running"; carrying a stale readiness marker
through a failed restart; reusing the previous hostname's certificate after a
rename; leaving the profile enabled when the hostname was cleared, in a script
that exits early precisely when nothing else would fix it; reading the renewal
timestamp as a user who cannot traverse Caddy's storage; and a `find | head`
that aborts the whole installer under pipefail the moment two issuers hold a
certificate for the same name.
One of them was mine and worth naming: to let the container read the
certificate, I had made the TLS private key world-readable. On a multi-user host
that hands the console's identity to every local account.
The client is told about the resolver only when both services are confirmed
running, because a config naming a resolver that does not exist takes the
device's entire name resolution with it for as long as the tunnel is up.

The page shown while the site is hidden was still in the old style — a coloured
square and system fonts — on the two hostnames a visitor is most likely to try.
It now uses the site's own plate, typeface and registration marks, still
entirely self-contained because it is shown precisely when the asset build may
not exist. Both it and the error pages lighten the accent in dark mode: the tone
is chosen for contrast against paper, and on the ink plate the small text is the
first thing to stop being readable.
The VPN investigation ended somewhere useful, and not where it started.
The blank page on the phone is the reverse proxy refusing the request — `respond
404` sends no body. It refuses because the phone is not on the tunnel: the
client config lists only the management subnet in AllowedIPs, so a request to
the console's public hostname goes out over the mobile network and arrives from
a carrier address. It also explains "last contact: never", since WireGuard only
performs a handshake when it has traffic to send, and nothing is ever routed
into the tunnel.
The obvious fix — add the server's public address to AllowedIPs — is written
down here as a comment and a test rather than as code, because it cannot work.
The WireGuard endpoint is that same address, so routing it into the tunnel
routes the handshake packets into the tunnel they are trying to establish. The
result is a loop and a connection that never comes up: the same blank page, now
with no way in at all.
Reaching the console over the VPN needs an address INSIDE the subnet — the proxy
answering on the hub address, and a name that resolves to it. That is a
deployment change, not something a config line can express.

Changing a key meant a shell, a file edit and a cache rebuild — and the person
who owns the Stripe account is not necessarily the person who owns the server.
Two gates, not one. The capability decides who may open the page; every operator
has console.view, and that must not mean "can read the payment key". The
password decides whether this SESSION may see or change anything, because the
realistic threat is not a stranger but an unlocked machine, and a session is
exactly what that hands over. Both are re-checked server-side on every action —
a Livewire action is reachable by anyone who can post to /livewire/update.
The value is stored encrypted under a key of its own, SECRETS_KEY, and the vault
refuses to work without it rather than falling back to APP_KEY: rotating APP_KEY
is ordinary maintenance and would otherwise destroy every stored credential,
discovered when Stripe stops answering. It is read where it is used, not
overlaid onto config at boot — an overlay adds a query to every request
including the public site, and leaves queue workers holding whatever was true
when they started. It is never shown again, only outlined, and never enters a
Livewire property that would carry it to the browser and back in the snapshot.
A registry, not an env editor: a form that can set any environment variable is a
privilege-escalation primitive, and one bad value bricks the installation with
no way back through that same form.
The test button is the part that matters. It reports which Stripe account the
key belongs to, whether it is LIVE or test — the most expensive mistake here is
pasting one where the other belongs, and both look identical in a form — and
which webhook endpoints exist with the events each subscribes to. A key can be
perfectly valid while the endpoint listens for the wrong five events, and
nothing fails until a payment goes unrecorded.
The webhook signing secret deliberately stays in .env. It is read on every
incoming payment event; in the database, a database problem becomes silently
failing signature checks.

Clicking Save made every button on the console's settings page appear to fire.
Seven `wire:loading.attr="disabled"` had no `wire:target`, and without one
Livewire applies the loading state to ANY request on the component — so one save
put all of them into their disabled state simultaneously. Each names its own
action now.
Two-factor for customers. Fortify's endpoints already existed; only the screen
was missing. Setting up requires re-entering the password first, and every
action re-checks that server-side rather than relying on the button not being on
screen — a Livewire action is reachable by anyone who can post to
/livewire/update. The confirmation marker is Laravel's own session key, so it
and the framework's password.confirm middleware mean the same thing rather than
drifting apart.
The secret never enters a Livewire property. Component state travels to the
browser and back in the snapshot; the QR image is derived from the secret, the
secret is not in it — and there is a test that says so.
The status page moves to the ROOT of its hostname: status.clupilot.com/status
says the same word twice. That needed the domain-bound `/` registered BEFORE the
landing page, because Laravel takes the first match and the landing route is
host-agnostic — so the status host would have served the marketing site.

Three gaps, all of the "half-built" kind.
Nobody could change a password. Fortify's updatePasswords feature was switched
off, so an account created with a generated password kept it until someone
opened a shell on the server — including the owner's own. Both settings pages
have the form now, sharing one concern, because two copies of a password rule is
how one of them ends up weaker. It goes through Fortify's own action rather than
hashing here, and the current password is required: an unlocked machine should
not be two keystrokes away from locking its owner out.
The datacenter edit form had no active switch. The column and the scope existed,
and the list page has a toggle — but the form you open to change the thing did
not offer the one lifecycle action a location actually needs. Switching one off
now says what it does NOT do: existing hosts keep running. Once, on the actual
transition, and as the only message — the generic "saved" toast would otherwise
replace it, and an already-inactive location would have announced its own
deactivation every time its name was edited.
The staff table's actions cell is empty for your own row, because you cannot
revoke yourself. With a one-person team the column was therefore always blank
and read as broken rather than as a rule.

The console was unreachable, and not for the reason it looked like. Two causes,
both mine.
A failed `artisan optimize` — the one that hit duplicate route names — left a
broken route cache behind, so every request to the console host answered 500.
Rebuilt.
Underneath that: the reverse proxy has its own console allowlist, hard-coded,
and it runs BEFORE the application. Everything added on the console's own
access page was therefore ineffective, and when the owner's address changed
they were turned away by the proxy before reaching the page that would have
fixed it. The proxy now imports a fragment generated from the same list the
console manages, regenerated by the host agent and reloaded when it changes.
Getting that safe took most of the review. It refuses to rewrite an ambiguous
Caddyfile rather than replacing some other site's matcher; it never falls back
to a loopback-only list when the application cannot be reached, because that
list validates cleanly and locks out every remote operator; it retries a reload
that failed instead of assuming it worked; and an installation that upgrades
without rerunning the installer is told, because otherwise the whole mechanism
is invisibly absent.
Prices are entered in euros. The form asked for cents, so €799 was typed as
79900 and one slipped digit was a factor of ten on an invoice. Conversion
happens in one place, on the string rather than through a float — (float)
'79.90' × 100 is 7989.999… and casting truncates to 7989, one cent short on
exactly the prices people charge — and it refuses an amount the column cannot
hold instead of failing at the database.
Every error code has a page now, in the site's own language and typeface,
self-contained so it still renders when the asset manifest is the thing that
broke. There was only a bare white 404.
The VPN list stops being a seven-column table nobody could fit: names broke
across two lines and so did the headings. These are attributes of one access,
not quantities compared down a column, so each access is a row — identity on
one line, measurements in mono on the next.
The status page says what it measures rather than what it promises. "New orders
are delivered without failures" read as a marketing claim on a page whose only
job is to be believed, and said nothing about the last 24 hours.

Registering the console once per accepted hostname reused one set of route
names, and Laravel refuses to serialise two routes under the same name — so
`artisan optimize` failed on the live server the moment the separation was
switched on, mid-deploy.
Only the canonical registration carries the `admin.` names now; the alternates
answer under `admin.viaN.*`. They exist to be MATCHED — they are the addresses
someone locked out reaches for — never to have URLs generated for them, so
route() keeps producing the canonical hostname.
That renaming then broke every exact route-name check, which is how the console
navigation decides what is active: reached through a recovery address, nothing
in the sidebar was marked, exactly when something is already going wrong. The
check goes through AdminArea now and matches either form.

Fortify sends every successful sign-in to config('fortify.home') — /dashboard.
That is why an operator signing in ended up in the customer portal, and once
the console has a hostname to itself it stops being merely confusing:
/dashboard does not exist on that host, so signing in would land on a 404.
Three outcomes now, decided by where the sign-in happened and who signed in:
the console for an operator on the console, the portal everywhere else, and for
a non-operator on the console the session is taken away again at the moment it
was created — a guard that merely refuses each page afterwards leaves that
session in the browser.
Four things the review caught, each of which would have left a hole:
- Fortify never reaches LoginResponse when a two-factor challenge was involved.
Binding only that one left exactly the accounts most likely to be operators
on the old behaviour, so both exits are bound and share one decision.
- The JSON branch ran before the authorization check, so a JSON client kept a
session a browser would have lost.
- The two exits do not share a JSON success contract — an ordinary sign-in
answers {"two_factor":false}, a completed challenge answers an empty 204 —
and merging them breaks a client keying off the status code.
- In shared mode everyone posts to /login, so the request never looks like the
console even when /admin is the destination. The intended URL is read too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three things the owner asked for, and one the review found underneath them.
The console leaves /admin. It has its own route file now, registered before
routes/web.php because once it has a hostname to itself it sits at the ROOT of
that host — where `/` and `/settings` also exist for the portal, and the first
matching route wins. Where it mounts is one decision in one place: `/` on the
console hostname where it has one to itself, `/admin` on any host otherwise.
Names stay admin.* in both modes, so nothing that builds a URL has to know.
Exclusivity is its own switch, not a consequence of having a hostname. The
first attempt made "this host is the console" follow from ADMIN_HOSTS, and a
development machine lists its own IP there so the console works without DNS —
which took the public site and the portal off that machine entirely. The
switch also registers the console on every listed hostname, canonical last, so
the alternates that exist as recovery paths keep working.
The status page moves out of /legal, where it sat beside the imprint and the
terms. Nothing about the current health of the platform is a legal document. It
is a real page now: portal, instances, provisioning and backups, each derived
from records, aggregate only, and a component with no signal reports "unknown"
rather than "operational".
That last rule is what exposed the real bug. monitoring_targets.status was
written once — 'up', at provisioning — and nothing ever updated it. Both the
console's notices and the new public page read it, so an outage would have been
published as healthy indefinitely. There is a sync job now, on a five-minute
schedule, and a checked_at column so a verdict can go stale instead of standing
forever.
The monitoring contract had to grow a third state for that to be honest.
isHealthy() answers true when no monitoring is configured and false when the
monitor is unreachable; recording that boolean would have published either a
fleet-wide all-clear nobody measured or a fleet-wide outage that was really one
broken monitor. health() returns null for both, the recorder leaves the old
verdict to go stale, and isHealthy() keeps its forgiving semantics for the one
caller that wants them — the provisioning acceptance check, which must not fail
a delivery because monitoring is not set up.
Backups are counted from the instances that need protecting rather than from
the backup rows that exist, so an instance with no schedule at all cannot be
missing from the arithmetic that declares the estate protected.
Also: the update panel polls itself, offers the button only when there is
something to install, and opens the log while a run is in progress.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The panel had no way to update the installation, and could not have one on its
own: it runs as www-data inside a container, and the update restarts that
container. A button that shelled out would kill its own web server
mid-response, and would need the application to hold host-level credentials —
a far worse thing to own than an out-of-date checkout.
So the button is a mailbox. The panel writes a request into the checkout; a
systemd timer on the host, running as the service account, consumes it, runs
deploy/update.sh and writes back what happened. The same timer answers the
question the panel cannot answer alone — is there anything to update — which
needs a git fetch, and therefore credentials the application does not have.
The parts that were wrong before review, all of which would have shipped as a
button that looks fine and does nothing:
- The agent was only installed by install.sh, which the installed base never
runs again. Every existing server would have shown the button permanently
disabled. It has its own root entry point now, install.sh delegates to it,
and update.sh says so when the unit is missing.
- On a release-pinned server the checkout is detached, so it followed
"origin/HEAD" and then ran an update that deliberately stays on the pinned
tag: updates advertised, nothing applied. It now compares TAGS in release
mode and passes the target release through.
- On a branch other than main it advertised that branch's commits and then
deployed main's, because update.sh defaults to main.
- A request written while the agent was down was executed whenever the agent
next started, days later.
- A single status file meant the routine five-minute check overwrote a failed
update with "idle" before anyone saw it.
- An agent that had been stopped left the button enabled forever, because a
status file written once counted as an agent.
- The agent's error messages were German strings rendered into an English
interface; it reports codes now and the panel translates them.
Also: the add-address button in the console-access panel was as tall as the
field plus its hint, because the hint was a sibling inside the flex row.

Three console pages were fiction. The front page claimed 42 customers, 39
instances, four hosts named pve-fsn-1..3 and €7,842 a month, over a twelve-month
growth curve; the instance list held seven invented machines; the revenue page
reported churn and a trend for a business with no recorded history. All of it
was hard-coded. It read like a running company and measured nothing.
They now read the database. Two figures are gone rather than approximated —
the revenue trend, which needs a monthly history nobody records, and churn,
which needs a base the data cannot supply. ARR stays, labelled as the
projection it is. The green "all systems normal" badge is computed from the
notice list instead of asserted, and the notices themselves come from failed
runs, hosts reporting errors or gone quiet, and monitoring that is down.
Host load is the one number that had to agree with something else: placement
counts the VM disk allocation, ignores a failed instance that never got a VM,
and subtracts the host's reserve. A dashboard doing its own arithmetic would
show a host as comfortable while orders were already being refused on it, so it
uses the host's own accounting — with the filter moved into a scope both share,
and the sum preloaded so listing hosts stays one query.
The instance list drops the Nextcloud version column: that version is not
recorded anywhere, and a column filled with a plausible number is worse than no
column. Statuses the lifecycle writes but nobody had translated no longer
render as "admin.status.failed".
The price sheet also gains the included traffic, which the catalogue has always
carried and the page simply never printed.

The marketing page was a generic centred hero in the system font stack: it
neither used the design system the console is built on nor looked like the
product it sells. Rebuilt around what CluPilot actually promises — security you
can produce evidence for — so the page reads as a controlled technical
document: a specification plate instead of a hero image, numbered sections, an
audit register with rhythm and proof per measure, and a price sheet rather than
floating cards. IBM Plex Serif joins Sans and Mono as the display voice, self
hosted as static files so the public page renders even without the Vite build.
The prices were written into the page by hand, and the page and the catalogue
had already drifted apart on three of four plans: the site advertised 249 € for
a plan the checkout charges 399 € for. The sheet now reads the catalogue, like
every other caller — including the currency, which is configurable and was also
hard-coded here.
The catalogue fails loudly on purpose; a public website must not. A broken or
overlapping catalogue is caught in the controller alone: the page still
renders, the sheet is replaced by "on request", and nobody is quoted a number
the checkout would not honour.
The sign-in and registration panels shared a copy-pasted orange gradient. They
now share one component and the same ink plate as the site, so the two halves
of the product no longer look like two companies.
