nexxo 0e25fe88d4 Keep a register of what was sent, and answer the customer from here
Three complaints, one shape: the console knew things and could not act on
them, so the work happened somewhere else and left no trace.

The header said "4 Hinweis(e)" and led nowhere. Whoever read it had to
know that the list was a card further down the same page, and then go
looking for the host or the failed run by hand. The count is a link now,
every notice carries the page that shows the thing it is about, and the
plural is a word rather than a bracket.

Nothing recorded what this installation had sent. "Hat der Kunde die
Zugangsdaten je bekommen, und wann?" was answered on the mail server — a
different machine, a different program, and nothing an operator can put
in front of somebody who says nothing ever arrived. Every mail now writes
a row: when, to whom, which mailable, and the customer it belongs to.
Written from MessageSent, so a row means the transport accepted it; that
is the strongest thing an application can honestly claim, and a column
called "delivered" would be pretending otherwise. Verification and reset
mails are left out on purpose — they go to unconfirmed addresses and
anybody who can type into a form can send them, so recording them would
hand the register to whoever wants to fill it.

And the customer list was the end of the road. There is a page behind it
now: what they bought, what they asked in their own words, what we sent
them, and a box to write the next message. It goes out from the support
mailbox and is recorded on the way — with its body, because an operator
typed it and "what exactly did I write to them in March" is a question
the mail server's log cannot answer either. Answering a request from here
closes it, which is the reason to answer from here at all: answering from
a mail client leaves it open for ever, because nothing tells it otherwise.

Found on the way, by a test that sent a real mail rather than asserting it
was queued: resources/views/mail/reset-password.blade.php was missing its
closing </x-mail.layout>. The component's contents were never terminated,
the layout's own @if ran off the end of the file, and the mail raised a
Blade syntax error instead of rendering. Password reset has therefore
never delivered a link since it was built. Closed, plus a test that
renders it and one that counts opening against closing tags across every
mail view.

Reading INCOMING mail in the console is not in this: it needs the mailbox
polled over IMAP, which is a credential and a dependency. Requests filed
through the portal appear here in full; a customer who writes by mail
instead still has to be read in the mail client.

nexxo ec8675861e Take the order, park it, and say when it will be delivered
tests / pest (push) Failing after 7m44s Details
tests / assets (push) Successful in 21s Details
tests / release (push) Has been skipped Details
A paid order that no host has room for used to FAIL at the reservation
step. The customer has paid by then, so that turned a sale into an
incident and left somebody holding money against nothing. The estate is
finite and booked thick, so "no host has room right now" is an ordinary
Tuesday — it means a machine has to be bought, which takes days.

So the order waits instead. poll(), not retry(): the wait is measured in
days and must not eat the run's attempt budget. It only fails after
PARK_DAYS (14) — long enough to buy, rack and onboard a server over a
weekend, short enough that a forgotten order surfaces instead of waiting
for ever.

Then say so, in the same words on both sides of the payment:

  - The price sheet marks each package "wird sofort ausgeliefert" or
    "Bereitstellung in 2-3 Werktagen", read from free capacity rather
    than written into the page.
  - The customer's own overview says their cloud is being prepared while
    it is parked, instead of a stepper standing still for two days under
    "wird eingerichtet" — which reads as broken.
  - The console front page shows the same per-package answer, so an
    operator can see what visitors are being promised.

And a capacity page for the decision that follows: who is waiting, what
the roomiest host still has, what the queue needs ("3x Start, 1x
Business" - the LARGEST parked package sets the minimum machine, because
an instance lives on one host), and what such a machine costs today from
the provider's live list. It orders nothing: buying a server is a
contract, and a bug in a capacity calculation must not sign one.

The operator can also say where each parked order goes. A pin is
honoured or it waits — never quietly redirected — because placing it
elsewhere answers a different question than the one they answered, and
they would find out from the finished instance.

Two things this shook out:

  - `current_step` is an INDEX into the pipeline, not the step's key, and
    it is cast to integer. `where('current_step', 'reserve_resources')`
    reads as correct and matches step 0 of EVERY pipeline instead. Both
    lookups go through HostCapacity::parkedRuns() now, which resolves the
    index and filters by pipeline.
  - The auction feed sends `hdd_hr` as a list, not a string. Casting it
    printed "Array" into the console and raised a warning that took the
    page down with it.

nexxo 98d884727a Warn that a package cannot be placed, before somebody pays for it
tests / pest (push) Failing after 7m55s Details
tests / assets (push) Successful in 23s Details
tests / release (push) Has been skipped Details
The platform books thick: a package reserves its whole disk_gb — the sold
quota plus the machine's own overhead — on ONE host at placement. That is the
right choice for a small operator, because nothing can quietly overfill. It
has one consequence nobody was being told about: the catalogue goes on
offering a package no host has room for, and the first anyone hears of it is a
PAID order failing at the reservation step.

On the machine this was found on the numbers are stark. 2 x 512 GB NVMe in a
mirror is about 400 GB usable; Start reserves 120, Team 540, Business 1050,
Enterprise 2100. Three of the four packages on sale cannot be placed at all,
and the fourth fits three times.

So the console says so now, per package, with the shortfall — "Team needs 540
GB, the roomiest host has 260" — because "buy a server" is not the decision.
"Buy a server big enough for what I am selling" is.

Two things it deliberately does not do. It does not warn on an installation
with no host at all: that is a machine nobody has onboarded yet, it has its
own notice, and without the guard a fresh console greeted its operator with
one warning per package before they had done anything. And it does not take
the overview down when the catalogue cannot be read — a capacity warning does
not get to break the page somebody opens when something is already wrong.

The largest FREE HOST, never the sum: an instance goes on one machine, so two
hosts with 300 GB each cannot take a 540 GB package between them.

And when placement does fail, the log now names the shortfall instead of only
'no_capacity'.

nexxo bd779f00e5 Show times on the operator's clock, keep storing them in UTC
tests / pest (push) Successful in 7m55s Details
tests / assets (push) Successful in 30s Details
tests / release (push) Successful in 6s Details
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.

APP_DISPLAY_TIMEZONE, default Europe/Vienna. 615 tests.

Claude de6821b53e Move the console off /admin, give the status page its own address, and measure monitoring
tests / pest (push) Successful in 7m43s Details
tests / assets (push) Successful in 19s Details
tests / release (push) Successful in 5s Details
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.

Claude 30a80b6c15 Report the estate from the database, and print the traffic that is sold
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.

nexxo 1aa7535fc4 feat(admin): dark Tactical-Terminal operator console
Separate admin console at /admin, gated to is_admin users (EnsureAdmin middleware
+ migration/seed; a plain customer user is seeded to prove the gate). Distinct dark
aesthetic achieved purely by token scoping: .theme-admin overrides every CSS design
token to a dark graphite / signal-orange palette, so ALL shared components (button,
card, badge, table, stat, chart) render dark with zero new markup (R3). Chart island
now reads tokens from its own element, so charts are theme-aware.

Sections (each full-page class-based Livewire, English routes R13, localized DE/EN):
- Overview: fleet KPIs, fleet-growth line, host-load bars, MRR bars, active runs, alerts.
- Customers: table + plan doughnut. Instances: fleet table (vmid/host/storage).
- Hosts: capacity cards (storage/CPU bars). Provisioning: runs table + live stepper.
- Revenue: MRR/ARR/ARPU/churn KPIs, MRR line, plan doughnut, recent payments.
- Locale-aware month labels/currency (Carbon/Number).

18 new Pest tests (guest redirect / non-admin 403 / admin render per section) → 44
green. R12 browser: all six admin pages HTTP 200, ZERO console errors (Chart.js dark).
Codex (R15) — clean.
