Audience line and note were LandingController::COPY, a hardcoded array
keyed on exactly the four plan keys the seed migration created — a plan
made under any other key rendered with no copy at all. They move onto
the family for the same reason the recommendation mark does: they are a
stance about the product line, not a capability that changes with a
price, so they must not be frozen per version.
Backfilled in the migration from the controller's own strings, so the
public page prints exactly what it printed a moment ago. A family with
no copy yet renders without the audience line rather than an empty gap.
Feature labels (managed_updates, daily_backups, ...) stay in the
controller: they name catalogue features, not individual plans, so
there is no per-plan or per-version place to hang an editable
customer-facing label without re-introducing a shared feature table.
That table existed once and was deliberately removed when the plan
catalogue closed its pricing split-brain; bringing it back for wording
alone is a bigger, separate decision.
Recommended lives on the plan family, not a version: it is a stance about
the product line ("which plan we point a visitor towards"), not a
capability that changes with a price, and freezing it per version would
make the mark silently vanish every time a new version publishes.
Setting a plan recommended clears whichever other plan carried the mark,
inside one transaction locking the whole table — two operators
recommending two different plans at once must not both win. The public
price sheet already had the highlighted-card treatment for this (it was
driven by a hardcoded "team" constant); it now reads the family instead.
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".

IssueInvoice now rejects free-grant orders before it will consume an invoice
number for them — a full gift produces no invoice at all, while a discounted
grant still charges something and is invoiced exactly like an ordinary sale.
Keyed on the linked subscription/add-on's own provenance, not on the amount
being zero, so a genuinely fully-discounted Stripe checkout is unaffected.
Revenue excludes granted contracts from MRR/ARR/ARPU and the contracts count
— a gift at 0 must not drag the average down — and shows their number as its
own KPI instead of folding it in, since the owner measures himself on it.
The portal (Cloud, Billing) shows a granted package or module without a
price at all: not "free", not struck through, just the service, so a later
conversion to paid does not read as a negotiation.
Setting a NAS up to collect the invoice archive meant three machines and a
dozen commands: generate a keypair there, carry the public half to the server,
write it into authorized_keys with a restriction, install rsync, and get every
path right on the first try. Every one of those steps was a place to be told
"permission denied" with no clue which of the three was wrong. It was, and
several times over.
One button now. The panel asks, the host does it — because the host is where
all of it lives: the home directory, ssh-keygen, rrsync, and the archive itself.
The panel is www-data in a container and owns none of that, so it uses the
mailbox it already uses for updates. The private half is shown exactly once,
alongside the finished rsync command, and is never written to the database: it
exists to be copied into a NAS, and storing it "for convenience" would put a
working credential in every backup of that database.
rrsync does the restricting, not a pinned rsync option string. That string
differs between rsync versions and fails silently — a refusal with no reason
given, which is the shape of the afternoon this replaces. If rrsync is missing
the agent refuses rather than issuing an unrestricted key while the panel says
it is restricted.
rsync now comes with install-agent.sh, which already runs as root once per
machine. It has to be on the HOST: a NAS connects by ssh and sshd starts
`rsync --server` here, so without it the pull fails with "command not found"
from a NAS whose own setup is perfectly correct.

Reported as "the folder arrives empty". It was not empty. The folder was 0700
and owned by the account that wrote it, so the account that COLLECTS — an rsync
over ssh, a backup agent, anything that is not the writer — could not enter it,
and an unreadable directory looks exactly like an empty one. The invoice had
been sitting in it the whole time.
The cause is that the default follows the process umask, so under a restrictive
one 0755 quietly becomes 0700. The permissions are declared on the disk now
rather than left to inherit, and a test writes under umask 0077 and asserts the
mode — the ordinary umask hides this completely, which is why it was found on a
server and not here.
Two mistakes of mine on the way to it, both worth recording. I read the folder
as the wrong user, got no entries back, and concluded the file had been deleted
— it was a permission failure reading as an unprivileged account, not a missing
file. And the first fix was a chmod on a variable that does not exist in that
method, silenced by an @ so it failed without a word. Flysystem takes its
permissions from configuration; a chmod afterwards was the wrong layer even
before it was the wrong variable.

Two destinations doing two jobs. A handover directory a NAS collects from wants
a folder per day and wants emptying — thirty days is enough to notice a NAS that
stopped collecting, and keeping more only hides it. An archive on the NAS itself
wants a folder per year and wants nothing deleted, ever. So both are per
destination rather than global.
Deleting is safe here in a way it usually is not, and that is worth saying
plainly: the invoice is a frozen document in the database and its PDF is
rendered from that on demand. Nothing is moved anywhere — it is copied, and
anything removed from a directory can be produced again and re-exported. The
directory is a handover point, not the record.
keep_days is null by default and stays null unless somebody sets it: a retention
rule nobody asked for is a deletion nobody expected. The prune only touches
folders whose NAME is one of the two shapes this application writes, and leaves
everything else alone — a prune that deletes what it does not recognise is how
an archive loses something nobody was watching. It also skips a destination
whose path is missing rather than acting on whatever is underneath an absent
mountpoint.
The shape is matched with a pattern before parsing rather than by handing
nonsense to Carbon: under strict mode createFromFormat throws instead of
returning false, so one folder somebody made by hand would have ended the whole
prune instead of being skipped. The test with a foreign folder in it found that.

A destination is a kind of connection, not a product. The wording said "Hetzner
Storage Box" and the host field suggested one particular provider's hostname
format, which reads as a requirement rather than an example — and the whole
point of the directory kind is that whatever is behind it is nobody's business
here.
Both kinds stay. A directory is how an NFS 4.1 mount is used: the mount is made
on the server, and the application writes into the path it produces. SFTP is for
a destination that is not mounted.

The first version put it in the credential vault. The vault refuses it, and
correctly: it keeps a registry of fixed, documented credentials so the Secrets
page can describe each one, and a per-destination password is not that. Forcing
a dynamic key into that registry would have made the registry meaningless.
Encrypted onto the row with the same cipher instead — the same key, so it is no
more readable in a database dump than anything the vault holds, and it lives
with the record it describes. A rotated SECRETS_KEY now says so by name rather
than surfacing as an authentication failure against a host that is perfectly
fine.
Also answers the question that prompted this: the host, port and user fields are
there, and appear once SFTP is chosen. A mounted directory has no host on
purpose — the mount is made on the server with mount(8), and the application
only names the directory it writes into. A test asserts both halves, because
"the fields are there, you just cannot see them yet" is not something anybody
should have to take on trust.

One path and one exported_at could not say "on the office NAS, not yet on the
off-site box" — which is the only interesting question once there is more than
one destination, and the reason for a second is precisely that any single one
can fail. A row per destination now, and a row per (invoice, destination) pair.
Two kinds, and the difference is where the protocol lives. 'local' is a
directory this machine can already write to: a NAS mounted over NFS 4.1, a bind
mount, a disk. The application knows nothing about the protocol, the target
changes without code changing with it, and the whole thing stays testable
against a temporary directory. 'sftp' is for something reachable with
credentials — a Hetzner Storage Box being the obvious one — and the password
goes into the secret vault with only its key on the row, because a credential
in a settings table is a credential in every database dump. An empty password
field on an existing target means unchanged, not cleared: the field cannot show
what is stored, so blank-means-delete would wipe it on every unrelated edit.
One job per pair rather than one per invoice. A job writing to both would retry
the one that worked every time the other did not, and report one outcome for
two different things.
The ordering fix the tests found: Laravel's local adapter creates its root when
it is CONSTRUCTED, so the "never create the root" guard was checking a
directory the disk had just made for it. It runs before the disk is built now.
That guard is the difference between an archive and a hole in the ground — mkdir
on an absent mountpoint succeeds, writes onto the container's own disk and
reports success, and an archive that silently is not the archive is worse than
none.
The single path from the previous commit is migrated into a destination called
"Archiv" rather than dropped.

The application knows nothing about NFS and should not. It writes to a
directory; whether that is a local disk, a bind mount or a NAS over NFS 4.1
belongs to the mount. No protocol library, the target changes without code
changing with it, and the whole thing is testable against a temp directory.
The finding that shaped it: mkdir -p on a path whose mount is NOT there
succeeds. It creates the empty directory beneath the mountpoint, writes the
invoice onto the container's own disk and reports success — so an unmounted NAS
would quietly collect invoices locally while every check said it worked. An
archive that silently is not the archive is worse than none. The root is
therefore never created, only used: a missing root means a missing mount, and
that is a failure. Only the year subdirectory is created, inside a root already
proven to exist.
Written to a .part and renamed. A rename within one filesystem is atomic, so
whatever watches that folder never sees a truncated PDF and takes it for a
finished invoice. The size is read back afterwards rather than the write being
trusted: over a network mount a short write can report success, and an archive
of truncated files looks exactly like one that worked.
Queued, not done during the request. A network mount can block for its whole
timeout, and an invoice must not fail to be issued because a NAS is rebooting.
Dispatched after the commit, or a worker could look for an invoice that has not
landed yet.
And copy-on-issue is not enough on its own: an invoice issued while the office
connection was down never arrives, the queue eventually gives up, and nobody
opens an archive to check whether last Tuesday is in it. An hourly sweep
re-queues whatever is still missing, the failure is recorded on the invoice
rather than only in a log, and the Finance page says how many are outstanding.

One invoice per purchase rather than per order: a customer who buys a plan and
two add-ons in one go has bought once, and three invoices for one purchase is
three times the paperwork for the same money. Each order becomes a line, which
is also how the add-ons get listed individually.
Everything the document says is copied into the snapshot at the moment the
number is assigned — issuer, recipient, lines, rate, the reason for the rate.
A test changes the company name and the customer name afterwards and asserts
the invoice still says what it said. That is the whole reason no PDF is stored.
The number and the invoice commit in one transaction. A number taken and then
lost to a failure is a gap in a series that must not have one, and the refusal
test asserts that a rejected invoice leaves the counter where it was.
It refuses outright until the company details are complete. An invoice without
a registered name, an address or a VAT number is not a valid invoice here, and
issuing one consumes a number that can never be handed out again.
VAT comes from TaxTreatment, which already existed and already handles a
verified EU VAT ID correctly — including the reverse-charge note, without which
a zero-rated invoice says nothing about why no VAT was charged.
The billing address is carried as the lines it was written as. It is one
free-text field today, and guessing which line is the postcode would put it
where the street belongs, on a document nobody can correct afterwards.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Finance tab wrote a rate into settings while TaxTreatment kept reading one
from config — two sources for one number, added by me two commits ago. It had
not bitten yet only because both happened to say 20.
TaxTreatment now takes the domestic rate from CompanyProfile, which falls back
to the .env-derived config until an operator saves one. Same shape as
ProvisioningSettings, which already solves this for the deployment values, and
the same reason: an operator can change a settings page and cannot change a
config value, so a page that appears to set the rate and does not is worse than
no page at all.
Reverse charge and the seller country stay where they are. That logic already
existed, already handles a verified EU VAT ID correctly, and nothing here
needed to know about it — which is exactly why it should not have been
duplicated.

Second correction to the same block, and this one came from the right place: a
line reading 202,50 beside "Rabatt 10 %" does not say whether the discount is
in that number or still to come. It was unreadable, and unreadable on the one
figure a customer checks.
Lines are at full price now. Discounts are still entered per line — that is
where they belong and where somebody decides them — but they are summed and
shown once, in euros, under a subtotal that the "Gesamt netto" column adds up
to. Subtotal, one subtraction, VAT, total: a sum anybody can follow without
being told which figures are already adjusted.
The gross line-total column is gone and a gross UNIT price takes its place.
Full-price gross totals would sum to 315,60 against a total of 288,60 — the
same contradiction in a different column. Nobody adds up unit prices, and a
consumer reading this wants to know what one of the things costs.
lineTotal() and adjustmentLabel() went with it. Nothing calls them any more,
and a helper kept for a layout that no longer exists is the next person's
wrong turn.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With one discount applied under the table, the gross column summed to 315,60
against a total of 284,04. Nothing was miscalculated — the discount simply came
after — but a reader who adds up a column found a document that does not agree
with itself, and no way to tell which figure was the real one. On an invoice
that is not a presentation detail.
A discount or surcharge now sits on its line, percentage or fixed amount, and
is inside that line's total. The label under the line is built from the same
value that did the arithmetic, so the words cannot end up describing a
different number than the one printed beside them.
The invoice-wide adjustment stays in the arithmetic for anything that genuinely
applies to the whole document, but nothing uses it by default.

Everything the console has no field for is still real — MAIL_*, DB_*,
APP_KEY, whichever key nobody has built a form for yet — and without a way to
touch it from here, the operator needs a shell and the console page misses
its own point. EnvFileEditor is the net, not just the warning:
1. Validates before writing. A line that is neither blank, nor a comment, nor
KEY=value is rejected outright, and an empty file (syntactically "valid" by
that rule, but not survivable) is refused too. write() never touches the
file before checking the new content.
2. Backs up before every write that actually happens — a timestamped copy
beside .env, before the new content lands. Never pruned automatically; the
page says so, next to where it says where they land.
3. Names the keys a mistake here can lock an operator out with — APP_KEY,
DB_*, REDIS_*, SESSION_* — rather than a blanket warning nobody reads.
4. Gated by secrets.manage and the same confirmed password the vault entries
use — this is the one place on the page that can reach every credential
the vault otherwise keeps write-only.
5. Says plainly what saving does not do: queue, queue-provisioning, scheduler
and reverb only read .env at their own startup, and names the restart
command plus config:clear.
6. Marks which .env keys SecretVault currently overrides, so editing a line
that a stored vault value already shadows does not look broken.
Two issues surfaced by Codex review and fixed before this commit: the raw
file content stayed in the Livewire component snapshot after the password
confirmation window expired on its own (not only on an explicit re-lock), and
the first save on an installation with no .env yet failed trying to back up a
file that was never there.

The footer is four columns of three lines, as designed — but the specimen only
filled the fields an invoice legally needs, so two of the four columns came out
empty and it read as a missing footer rather than as missing data. Reported
that way, which is the correct reading of what was on the page.
A specimen exists to show the layout. Every field now carries an obvious
placeholder, so the shape is visible before any real detail has been entered,
and what is still a placeholder is obvious at a glance.

TCPDF 6, deliberately, after installing 7 and finding out what it is. Version 7
is not a newer TCPDF; it is a compatibility shim over tc-lib-pdf whose own
mapping table lists 115 of 293 methods as stubs, and whose font package ships
no font files at all — the first render died on a missing helvetica.json. The
6.x line carries a hundred and sixty-five fonts, a working writeHTML and real
header and footer hooks, and is what everybody means by TCPDF.
The body is a Blade template handed to writeHTML rather than a hundred Cell()
calls with millimetre coordinates, because this table has to be adjusted the
first time somebody sees it on paper, and nobody adjusts the second kind.
InvoiceMath is integer cents end to end, and rounds once. A percentage applied
line by line and rounded each time drifts from the same percentage applied to
the sum — three lines at 3,33 € less 10 % is 99 cents that way and 100 cents
the honest way, and the customer's calculator is what finds it. Gross is always
derived from net and never the reverse: taking VAT back out of a gross figure
returns a different number often enough to matter. A discount and a surcharge
are one operation with opposite signs, so nothing has to remember which of two
flags means which.
Quantities are thousandths, because hours, gigabytes and part-months are all
real, and are printed with the trailing zeroes stripped — "12,000 Std." reads
as a defect.
Every line shows quantity, unit price net, total net AND total gross: this goes
to businesses and to consumers, and each reads a different column first.
Verifying it took two goes and both failures were mine. `strings` over a PDF set
in a Unicode font finds nothing, because the text is stored as subset glyph ids
— the check has to render in a core font to be a check at all. And two of the
strings I then declared missing were simply expectations I had got wrong.

An invoice is a tax document, so two things drive the shape of this.
It is frozen at issue. Everything the finished document says — issuer address,
VAT number, bank details, customer address, every line, the rate, the totals —
is copied into the invoice row when the number is assigned. The PDF is rendered
from that and never stored, which is what was asked for; rendering it from
today's settings instead would have been simpler and wrong, because an address
changed in 2028 would rewrite an invoice from 2026. The width of this table IS
the feature.
Numbers are gapless and ascending, which is a legal requirement rather than a
preference, and that is why none of it is derived from the invoices table.
"Highest number plus one" hands the same number to two sales that land together
and hands a used number back out after a row is removed — a number already
printed on a document somebody holds. The counter is a column, read and advanced
under a row lock inside the caller's transaction, and taking one outside a
transaction throws rather than quietly working.
Four Rechnungskreise seeded — Rechnung, Gutschrift, Storno, Anzahlung — each
with its own prefix and its own counter, because a credit note is not an
invoice with a minus sign in front of it. Seeded rather than left to the
operator: an installation with no series cannot issue anything, and discovering
that at the first sale is the worst possible moment.
TCPDF added, for the renderer that comes next.
There is deliberately no test for the outside-a-transaction guard, and a note
where it would have been: RefreshDatabase opens a transaction around every
test, so the guard cannot fire and a green test for it would be green for a
reason that has nothing to do with the guard.

The SSH private key CluPilot deploys to every host is now stored through
SecretVault (ssh.private_key), preferred over CLUPILOT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY(_PATH)
at all three real consumers — SshTraefikWriter and HostStep::keyLogin.
kuma.password/kuma.totp stay in .env: they authenticate a separate Python
container at boot, and nothing in this app reads them, so the vault would
have nothing to wire them to.
A new /admin/infrastructure page, backed by App\Support\ProvisioningSettings,
makes the non-secret deployment settings that used to force a shell —
DNS zone, WireGuard hub endpoint and public key, Traefik's dynamic-config
path, the SSH public key, and the monitoring bridge URL — visible and
editable from the console, each wired to every real consumer. WG subnet/hub
IP and Kuma's own connection details stay in .env: the compose file and a
separate container read those before this application ever does.
Two of the Zugangsdaten page's three entries were decorative: whatever an
operator typed was encrypted and stored, but HttpHetznerDnsClient and
HttpMonitoringClient still read config() directly, so the stored value never
reached an outgoing request. Both now resolve through SecretVault::get() at
the point of use, matching how the Stripe client already worked.
Completes the device work: the warning mail now has somewhere to send people.
A warning whose only advice is "if this was not you, take action" names a
problem and hands back nothing to do about it.
Both sides get their own component rather than one shared with the guard passed
in. Operators and customers are two guards and two tables (R21) — a component
taking the guard as input is one forged property away from listing and ending
the other side's sessions. Every query in SessionRegistry is scoped by guard as
well as by id for the same reason, and three tests hold that line, because the
unscoped version looks exactly like a working feature while doing it.
TouchLoginSession keeps each row pointing at the session it describes. Both
sign-in paths raise the Login event BEFORE session()->regenerate(), so the row
is written against an id that is dead a moment later — and the once-a-minute
throttle would have held the correction back for the first minute of every
session, hiding the session its reader is sitting in. A changed id is therefore
never throttled.
A session counts as live only if the framework's row exists AND was touched
within the session lifetime. The join alone is not enough: Laravel collects
expired sessions by lottery, so on a quiet installation rows sit there for days
and the list would offer somebody a laptop they shut last month.
Ending the others goes through the product's own modal (R23) and leaves the
asking session alone: signing somebody out of the page they are using to sign
other people out is not what the button says.

Sessions lived in Redis, where they cannot be enumerated — one key per session,
no index by user — so "where am I signed in" and "end that one" were not
answerable at all. The database driver keeps a row per session and makes ending
one a delete. It costs every currently signed-in person one forced sign-in,
once, which is why it is happening now rather than later.
The warning is only worth anything if it is rare, so the two obvious signals
are deliberately not used. Not the IP: it changes on every train, every café,
every mobile handover, and behind a VPN it is not theirs to begin with. Not the
user-agent: Chrome ships every four weeks and the string changes each time,
which would be twelve warnings a year per customer, describing nothing. A
device is a long-lived signed cookie holding a random token, and nothing else
is consulted. The honest cost — cleared cookies, a private window, a second
browser — is written into the mail itself, because a reader who thinks the
warning is wrong stops reading the next one.
Three things the tests found or hold:
The first device on an account is new and must not warn. Replying to somebody
creating an account by telling them they signed in from a new device is noise
on the one message that has to stay worth reading.
token_hash was globally unique, and the shared-browser test failed on it. Two
people on one machine share one cookie and must each own a device row against
it; the obvious repair — issue a fresh token for the second — would orphan the
first person's row and warn them about their own desk. Unique is now per
identity.
Recording a device may never block a sign-in. A safeguard that locks the owner
out when it breaks has stopped being one, so the listener logs and swallows,
and a test drops the tables to prove it.
Sessions are linked by a uuid carried inside the session payload rather than by
the session id, which Laravel rotates on every sign-in and every regenerate().
Laravel's own sessions.user_id cannot carry the link either: it is filled from
the default guard, while operators and customers are two guards and two tables
(R21) — operator 1 and customer 1 would each be offered the other's sessions.
Also lands the shared mail layout the rest of the templates will use: tables
and inline styles for Outlook, no image and no web font because half of all
clients block remote content, and the button in --accent-active rather than the
brand orange, which is 2.9:1 against white.
Not tagged: the session list is not built yet, and without a tag no server can
install this.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Asked for directly: a commit on main must change nothing on a server, and only
a tag whose version is higher than the installed one may be installed.
The agent asked two different questions before this. A pinned server compared
tags; everything else counted commits on its branch — so a console following
main offered an update for every push, verified or not, and "Jetzt
aktualisieren" meant "take whatever is on the branch right now". Landing on main
and being released are different events, and only the second is a decision
somebody made.
It is one question now, regardless of what the checkout is attached to: is there
a tag whose version is higher than the deployed one? Compared with sort -V
against the version in the deployment manifest — not the VERSION file, which an
update moves before it migrates, so a run that failed in between would leave the
checkout claiming a version it never finished installing. A run always targets
that tag; the branch path is gone. A request that arrives with nothing to
install is answered rather than obeyed, before anything announces a run.
The console follows: the button is disabled with nothing released, says so in a
line rather than leaving a grey button to be guessed at, names the version it
would install rather than a count, and refuses the action server-side as well —
a Livewire action is a public endpoint, and one place a rule may not live is
only in the disabled attribute of a button.
VERSION becomes 1.1.0, to be tagged as the first release this mechanism can see.

Checking for updates was a request written into the same mailbox as a real
update, collected by the same agent on the same systemd timer — so asking what
was new was answered on the next tick, and the console, having nothing else to
show, counted down to it. An operator who asked a question was told an update
would start in 3:44.
A systemd path unit now wakes the agent the moment the request file is written,
for a check and for a run alike. PathChanged, not PathExists: PathExists re-arms
as soon as the service goes inactive, so a request the agent could not consume —
it holds a lock for the length of an update — would restart it in a tight loop.
The timer stays as the fallback, and a drop-in disables systemd's start rate
limit, because two triggers on one oneshot service can otherwise wedge the unit
and leave neither of them able to run.
The countdown is gone from both the settings card and the maintenance overlay.
It could not be made honest: its target was recomputed on every poll, and where
the interval the agent reports is shorter than the timer actually installed on
that host it had already gone by, so the fallback moved it forward again each
time. It ran backwards four seconds and snapped back to a full minute, forever —
reported exactly that way. A queued run says it is starting; a queued check says
nothing beyond its badge, because a check starts nothing.

A blocked outbound port (587 filtered at a firewall, as on the live
server) left both MailboxTester and MailboxTransport blocking until
PHP's default_socket_timeout (60s) or the reverse proxy cut the
request — a 504 with no error the operator ever saw. Mail::build()
honours a 'timeout' config key by calling SocketStream::setTimeout()
(confirmed by reading MailManager::configureSmtpTransport() and by an
end-to-end run against a genuinely unroutable host), so MailboxTester
now passes 'timeout' => 10 through it. MailboxTransport builds its
EsmtpTransport directly rather than through Mail::build(), so it sets
the same call on the transport's stream, at 30s — a queue worker can
afford to wait longer than an operator watching a browser, and a
timed-out send is retried rather than lost.
The test button also now shows a visible "sending" state while the
request is in flight, matching the wire:loading span pattern already
used on admin/host-create's save button — previously only
wire:loading.attr="disabled" fired, leaving a greyed-out button with
no other sign anything was happening.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

VERSION at the repository root is the release number and the only place it is
written down — a file rather than `git describe`, because a source archive, a
shallow CI checkout and a container built without .git have no tags to
describe. Cutting a release is editing that file and merging it; CI creates the
annotated v<VERSION> tag once green, only on the commit that raised the number,
and never moves it. Servers are pinned to these.
Two modes, and the difference is the point. RELEASE=v1.0.0 pins a server to an
immutable tag, checked out detached: it moves when someone decides it moves.
BRANCH=main follows the edge, where CI tags a commit only after it is pushed.
The mode is remembered, so re-running the updater on a pinned box does not
quietly walk it back onto main.
Going backwards is refused, by commit ancestry rather than by comparing version
strings — a tag can be cut from anywhere, and only ancestry says whether history
is going back. The schema has already moved forward by then, and the migrations
needed to reverse it are not in the older checkout at all.
What the console reports comes from a manifest written atomically after every
step succeeded, never from live git: git says what the files are, not whether
the deployment came up. So a failed update keeps reporting the version that is
actually serving — including its version number, not the newer one the checkout
has already moved to. A deployment pinned to the tag reads "1.0.0 (abc1234)";
anything else reads "1.0.0-dev (abc1234) · main", because every commit after the
tag still carries VERSION=1.0.0 and is not that release. Reporting it as one is
how a bug gets filed against the wrong code.
Codex reviewed the design before it was written and the result six times after.
Its findings, all real: the version had to come from the manifest too, not just
the commit; branch names need JSON escaping or the manifest silently vanishes; a
`case` glob does not anchor and accepted 1x.2y.3garbage; pinning to the commit a
server already sits on skipped recording the mode, and then skipped detaching;
a manifest that failed to write would never be repaired; an unparseable
timestamp would 500 every admin page; and an empty tag list read as a
connectivity failure.
466 tests green.
