The "Clusev host" terminal resolves to an SSH login now (resolve never returns kind:'host'), so the
sidecar's local-shell path was unreachable:
- docker/terminal/server.js: drop startHost(), the spec.kind==='host' branch, the node-pty require
and HOST_SHELL/HOST_CWD constants — the sidecar only ever opens an SSH PTY.
- Dockerfile: drop the python3/make/g++ toolchain (only there to compile node-pty's native addon);
package.json: drop the node-pty dependency. Leaner, faster image.
- compose (dev+prod): drop the now-unused TERMINAL_HOST_CWD env and the .:/workspace:ro mount.
- remove grep-confirmed-unused lang keys (settings 2FA/stub-tab keys, accounts twofa/cannot_remove,
auth recovery_done/regenerate_confirm, common back/retry/more/loading, servers firewall/fail2ban
unavailable variants) and the unused x-server-item Blade component.
Verified: lean sidecar rebuilds + the server terminal still connects/runs; full suite 467 pass; all
pages 200 with no raw-key leaks and no console errors.

The "Clusev host" terminal was a shell inside the sidecar container (node@clusev, no
sudo, not the host). It is now a REAL SSH login into the host machine, like any fleet
server — so it shows the real root@<host> prompt with full rights.
- HostCredential (encrypted singleton) holds the host SSH login; a HostShell modal lets
the operator set host/port/user + password|key. The clear-text secret is never echoed
back; on edit a blank secret keeps the stored one, and switching auth method requires a
fresh secret (no password silently reused as a key).
- open('host') mints a kind=host token only when a login is configured, else opens the
setup modal; the internal resolve endpoint returns a server-shaped SSH spec (decrypted,
internal-net only) for kind=host, or 404 when unconfigured.
- compose: extra_hosts host.docker.internal:host-gateway so the sidecar reaches the host
sshd; Caddy now 404s /_internal/* at the public edge (the sidecar uses app:80 directly).
- rail gains a debounced search box past 5 servers; removed the now-obvious PTY hint line.
Browser-verified (R12): host tile shows "not configured" + gear → modal → SSH login as
root runs commands, zero console errors; search filters; resolve returns the host spec.
15 terminal tests pass.

The host terminal is a shell in the sidecar container; it opened in the read-only
repo mount (/workspace) with the prompt showing the random container id, so it read
like a stray container rather than "the Clusev host".
- give the sidecar a stable `hostname: clusev` (dev + prod) → prompt host is `clusev`
- land the host PTY in /home/node (a real, writable home) and set HOME to it, so the
shell opens at ~ like a normal terminal instead of /workspace
Server (SSH) terminals are unchanged. Verified in-browser: prompt reads node@clusev,
pwd is /home/node, HOME=/home/node, no container hash / no /workspace; server terminal
still connects and runs; zero console errors.

A dedicated /terminal page with a target rail: one terminal per fleet server (SSH)
plus one for the Clusev host itself. php-fpm cannot hold an interactive PTY, so a
small Node sidecar (ws + ssh2 + node-pty) bridges xterm.js to the PTY.
Flow: the Livewire page mints a single-use, 60s TerminalSession token and dispatches
it to an Alpine xterm island; the browser opens a same-origin WS (/terminal/ws,
proxied by nginx in dev / Caddy in prod to terminal:3000); the sidecar burns the
token at an internal resolve endpoint (shared-secret header, private network only)
for a connection spec, then opens an SSH PTY (decrypted credential, never sent to the
browser) or a local host PTY. Real shell = native Tab/Shift-Tab completion.
Security:
- token burned ATOMICALLY (single conditional UPDATE) — no double-open race
- resolve endpoint guarded by hash_equals shared secret, exempt from CSRF + PanelScheme
host enforcement (private net only), returns decrypted creds over the internal net
- sidecar enforces same-origin on the WS upgrade (hostname match, port-agnostic)
- single-use 60s tokens, swept daily so the table can't grow unbounded
Verified in-browser (R12): host + server terminals connect, accept keyboard input,
run commands, Tab-complete; cross-origin WS rejected; zero console errors. 9 feature
tests cover minting, the resolve spec, single-use burn, expiry, and locked creds.
