Previously a POST to a fake login hit a Laravel 419 (CSRF) or 405, unmasking the framework, and the
phpMyAdmin/generic forms even posted to real paths (/index.php, /login). Now: the decoy paths are
CSRF-exempt (bootstrap/app.php) and drop BlockBannedIp (an already-banned prober stays inside the
deception, always fed a fake — never a revealing 403 — while the ban still blocks them from the REAL
login). Every fake form posts back to its own decoy, so a submit re-serves the fake page (looks like a
failed login) and trap() records the guessed username + password as threat intel (meta.tried_user /
tried_pass). DetectHoneytoken stays on the group, so a submitted canary is still caught.
Fixes from the security audit (the brute-force/rate-limiting angle matters more now that the
password policy is min(6)/no-complexity, so IP-keyed throttles must not be spoofable):
- bootstrap/app.php: trustProxies(at: '*') → trust only PRIVATE ranges in prod. Caddy reaches
app:80 from the docker bridge (private IP) so it stays trusted, but a public/off-network source
can no longer forge X-Forwarded-For to spoof request()->ip() and bypass the login/2FA/forgot
throttles + the brute-force ban.
- TerminalSession + HostCredential: replace $guarded=[] with an explicit $fillable allowlist; add
$hidden=[secret,passphrase] to HostCredential so it never serializes its credential fields.
- nginx /terminal/ws: access_log off — the single-use session token rode the query string into the
access log.
Verified: full suite 467 pass; all panel pages 200 with zero console errors; server terminal still
connects + runs commands.

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.

The withExceptions render hook called SetLocale::apply(), which resolves the
user via the DB — if the original error was a DB/user-provider failure, that
second access would throw inside the renderer and prevent the custom error page
from rendering (exactly when it's needed). Wrap it so any failure is swallowed
and the page renders in the default locale.

CSRF (419), unmatched-route 404 and maintenance (503) errors are thrown before
the web-group SetLocale middleware runs, so the custom error pages rendered in
the default locale for EN users. Extract SetLocale::apply() (session-guarded, so
it is safe pre-session) and call it from a withExceptions render hook that falls
through to the normal renderer — the error views now honour the user's language
where it is known.

Two fixes/hardenings on top of v0.4.0:
1) Blade raw-block bug (R17). The topbar's @php block had a COMMENT containing the literal
tokens @php/@endphp; Blade's non-greedy raw-block matcher took the @endphp in the comment
as the block end and dumped the remainder ("$title ??= …") as plain text into <header> on
every authenticated page (and left the page title empty). R12 missed it: the page still
returned 200 with no console error and the <title> comes from the Livewire component. Fixed
the comment; added rule R17 (no directive tokens in Blade comments; block over inline @php;
R12 must inspect the rendered DOM, not just status/console) to rules.md + CLAUDE.md.
2) Broadcast channels are now PRIVATE (security hardening — closes the follow-up flagged in
v0.4.0). MetricsTicked rides a PrivateChannel authorized via /broadcasting/auth
(withBroadcasting + routes/channels.php), so fleet metrics can no longer be subscribed to by
anyone holding the bundled app key — including over a stale Caddy host after a domain change.
The channel callback requires User::securityOnboarded() (rotated password + 2FA), mirroring
the panel's EnsureSecurityOnboarded gate — authentication alone is not enough. Echo sends the
CSRF token for the auth handshake. Convention documented (CLAUDE.md §3 / channels.php): every
channel is private.
Bump 0.4.0 -> 0.4.1; CHANGELOG.
Verified: Pint clean; npm build; R12 all routes 200 + 0 console errors (both locales); topbar
<header> rendered text clean (no @/{{ }}/$var/key leaks); private broadcast publishes to
reverb:8080 and /broadcasting/auth + the onboarding-gated callback authorize correctly; Codex
review clean.

The panel domain is editable on the System page again — safely this time. It is
stored in the DB (Setting `panel_domain`, overriding install-time APP_DOMAIN) and
APPLIED ON RESTART, never mid-session: a snapshot file (storage/framework/active-domain)
is frozen at container start by the entrypoint (`clusev:snapshot-domain`), so saving a
new domain only takes effect after `docker compose ... restart`.
How it works
- DeploymentService: pending (configuredDomain, DB) vs active (domain(), snapshot file);
setDomain() persists; restartPending() drives the UI notice. Snapshot reads the DB
DIRECTLY (cache-independent) and retries until the settings table is readable; if it
never is, it freezes the env fallback so the active domain is always a FIXED value
(never a live one that could shift after startup).
- AppServiceProvider: derives app.url from the active domain at boot; pins server->Reverb
publishing to the internal reverb:8080 (domain/cert-independent).
- Caddy: on-demand TLS gated by /_caddy/ask (issues a cert only for the configured
domain); HTTP always served for bare-IP recovery; /app,/apps forced to HTTPS for any
hostname (plaintext only on a bare IP).
- Reverb client endpoint is derived from the live request and rides the same front door
(/app tunnel — Caddy in prod, nginx in dev), so realtime follows a domain change with
no JS rebuild and no stale .env value.
- System page: domain form + R5 confirm + "restart required" notice with the exact
command; DE/EN strings (R16).
Anti-lockout / security
- session.secure + the HTTPS redirect follow the real request scheme; bare-IP HTTP is
always a recovery path. trustProxies('*') only in production (dev can't be tricked into
faking HTTPS via X-Forwarded-*). When a domain is active only that domain (HTTPS) and
the literal server IP (HTTP) serve the panel; any other/stale host is refused (404),
and IP-recovery redirects stay on the IP.
Bump 0.3.0 -> 0.4.0; CHANGELOG. Follow-up tracked: make the public `metrics` broadcast
channel private (wire broadcasting auth).
Verified: Pint clean; npm build; Caddyfile validates; R12 all routes 200 + 0 console
errors; Echo connects via the unified /app tunnel; domain set/clear + restart-gating +
/_caddy/ask (200 active / 403 other) + host-enforcement matrix all confirmed in dev;
Codex review iterated to no actionable in-scope findings; 14-agent adversarial
lockout/security review (real trustProxies finding fixed).

Security pivot — make server hardening, SSH access, firewall, dashboard domain/TLS
and the release channel controllable from the dashboard (no SSH needed), with guards
so a remote change can never lock the operator out.
Foundation
- ssh_credentials gains name + disabled_at + last_used_at; CredentialVault refuses a
disabled credential. New key/value Setting model. FleetService::runPrivileged() /
runPlain() — central sudo-aware exec (base64-wrapped sh -c), live-verified as root.
A · control-plane self-hardening
- SecurityHeaders middleware: env-aware CSP (allows the Vite dev origin in dev, strict
same-origin in prod), X-Frame-Options DENY, nosniff, Referrer/Permissions-Policy,
HSTS when secure. 2FA brute-force throttle (5/60s). install.sh sets
SESSION_SAME_SITE=strict + EXPIRE_ON_CLOSE + SECURE_COOKIE (only behind TLS).
B · SSH credential management
- name/label on the access; a credential card on the server page with Bearbeiten /
Sperren-Entsperren (kill-switch) / Löschen (R5), all audited.
C · server hardening from the dashboard (guards + confirmation)
- HardeningService (PermitRootLogin no, PasswordAuthentication no, fail2ban,
unattended-upgrades) + FirewallService (UFW). HardeningAction modal previews the
exact root commands before applying. GUARDS: refuse to disable password-login when
Clusev itself logs in by password or no key exists; UFW opens the real sshd port +
80/443 before enabling. Live-verified non-destructively (previews, the password
guard refusing, ufw status read).
D+E · System page (/system)
- Dashboard Domain + Let's-Encrypt email (Setting) -> DeploymentService renders the
matching Caddy site block (honest: stages the file + shows the reload command, never
fakes TLS). Release channel (stable|beta|dev) configurable; Versions reads it.
Built largely by 4 parallel agents into disjoint files; shared files integrated + the
security-critical bits hardened by hand (the password-auth lock-out guard + env-aware CSP).
Verified (R12): /system + server detail + all 8 routes 200 / 0 console errors (CSP does
not break Livewire/Alpine/Vite); credential card + 5 hardening "Anwenden" buttons render;
the hardening modal opens with the command preview; System persists domain/channel +
renders valid Caddy config; runPrivileged runs as root + the vault refuses disabled creds.
