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.
The deceptive bodies were bare unstyled HTML — obvious to any human/scanner. Give each a
self-contained, offline-safe inline-CSS skin that mirrors the real thing (WordPress login grey
canvas + logo + blue button; phpMyAdmin blue theme + logo + fieldset; a clean generic admin card)
so the decoy is convincing enough to hold a probe. No external assets (CSP/airgap-safe).
Re-review (completeness sweep + Codex) found: Audit\Index::saveRetention wrote the global
audit_retention_days policy ungated (a non-admin could shrink retention and prune audit evidence)
-> manage-panel guard + @can-hidden control; Settings\Email::sendTest lacked the role guard that
mount/save already had -> manage-panel; DetectHoneytoken read only form-encoded bodies via post(),
missing a JSON {"api_key":"<canary>"} replay -> now scans json() too (still body-only, no query).
The in-panel help "First login" section still claimed you log in with the
literal default password `clusev` and that "the panel forces a password change
immediately". Both are false since this cycle: the installer generates a RANDOM
password shown once in the closing summary, and EnsureSecurityOnboarded only
nudges (skippable), never forces.
- help/overview.blade.php (en+de): rewritten — sign in with the initial
password from the installer summary; setting your own is recommended (a
banner reminds) but not forced.
- lang/{en,de}/auth.php: default-password banner → "Initial password still in
use" / "Initialpasswort noch aktiv".
- ResetAdmin.php: reset output "Einmal-Passwort" → "Neues Passwort".
- EnsureSecurityOnboarded.php: comment wording aligned.

The seeded-password rotation was forced before the panel was reachable. It is now a
nudge, not a wall: the prompt shows once per session and can be skipped, and a standing
warning banner keeps reminding while the default password is still in use.
- EnsureSecurityOnboarded redirects to the password page only when must_change_password
AND the session has not set onboarding.password_skipped (set by PasswordChange::skip,
which lands on the dashboard WITHOUT rotating — so the flag/banner persist).
- app layout shows a default-password warning banner while must_change_password is true.
- the metrics broadcast channel no longer gates on securityOnboarded() — a deliberately
un-rotated (but authenticated) operator would otherwise lose realtime metrics;
/broadcasting/auth still runs in the web group (guest = 403), so it stays auth-gated.
- 2FA was already optional (never enforced) — only the login copy was wrong: "2FA
required/enforced" → "recommended/optional" (de + en).
Browser-verified (R12): login → skippable prompt → dashboard banner → free navigation
(no re-redirect); login copy correct; zero console errors. Full suite 465 pass.

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.

Behind an external TLS proxy, Clusev's own Caddy only honors the upstream's
X-Forwarded-Proto when TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR is set. Without it the app saw http,
asset() emitted http:// URLs, and the HTTPS page's CSP ('self') blocked them —
the panel loaded with no CSS/JS over the domain. PanelScheme now forces the URL
root + scheme to https://<domain> whenever the active domain is being served,
regardless of the (possibly untrusted) request scheme. The bare-IP recovery
path returns earlier and stays on HTTP.

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.

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.
