menzeljandClaude Opus 5.5 d6cebb3371 Fix what a review of the whole app found, end to end (0.67.1)
CI / check (push) Successful in 4m9s
CI / build-and-push (push) Failing after 16m10s
A pass over every feature against a real Docker daemon, then clicking
through the UI as admin and read-only user, on a desktop and a phone.

Security. /ws/deploy ran compose up for the read-only role; it is
admin-only now. A container's inspect view, a stack's compose file
(POSTGRES_PASSWORD: hunter2) and the viewer's .env tab no longer show
credentials to that role. Git branch and URL values that git would read
as options (-x, ext::) are refused. SFTP host keys are checked: pinned
on first use or entered by hand (key line or SHA256 fingerprint), a
different key is refused before the password is sent. A backup name
from the API can no longer reach outside the destination folder. The
file browser refuses to move or rename a browse root, as delete did.

Docker lifecycle. Closing the deploy console released the stack lock
while compose was still running and logged rc=None as success; deploys
and updates are now background runs that hold the lock to the end,
report the real exit code and can be re-attached to. Every closed log
view left a `compose logs -f` behind. A dozen open tabs exhausted the
default thread pool and hung the API; event and exec streams have their
own threads. Auto-update and the update endpoint ignored failed pulls.
A deleted git stack was recreated and started by the next webhook or
poll; deleting a stack now drops its git source, auto-update policy and
schedule entries. Deleting no longer walks into mounted shares, is
refused while a backup runs, and removes the containers even when the
compose file is broken. Stack folders compose has to normalise
(Nextcloud -> nextcloud) work everywhere and group correctly on the
volumes, networks and images pages.

Detection. Host port conflicts read the container's own network
namespace; /proc/1/net is read instead. Images referenced as docker.io/…
were never update-checked; local builds no longer report "needs
credentials". NVIDIA GPUs are read from the driver's procfs. The backup
dialog's "path mismatch" warning came from mountinfo's filesystem-relative
root and fired for any stacks folder on its own disk, ZFS dataset or
btrfs subvolume; the host path now comes from Docker's mounts.

Backups and destinations. The download ignored the folder/volume
selection (axios sent binds[]). Restoring under a new name kept the old
one. A report header past nginx's buffer turned a good backup into a
502. SFTP/S3 errors were bare 500s and "Test" did not try to write.
A destination used by a schedule could be deleted. Backup file names
are in the schedule's or the browser's time zone instead of UTC.

Editor and converter. `docker run` conversion produced invalid compose
for --network host, named volumes and -dit; --gpus and --mount were
dropped; a multi-line command pasted into the one-line field became
`image: ' '` (now a textarea, and flattened continuations are read).
Validation failed for env_file stacks. The editor overwrote unsaved
edits on every container event, lost them on a stray click (now asks),
threw when closing the diff, and its helper panel listed the starter
service "app" for every existing stack. Monaco is bundled instead of
loaded from jsdelivr, so the editor works offline (and monaco-editor
0.57 drops the dompurify advisory; axios and react-router updated).

UI. All times were two hours off: offset-less UTC from SQLite was read
as local time, and "next run" always said "just now". A token refresh
mid-session duplicated deploys, reset terminals and doubled logs. A
backend restart (update, self-update) signed everyone out on reload; the
page now waits for it. The editor was unusable on a phone, tables and
tabs overflowed, dialog text was black on the dark theme, and the file
browser opened on an error with the default roots. Read-only users get
"Admin only" pages instead of 403s; in-use networks offer no delete;
"Scan all" covers StackPilot's own stacks only and runs in the
background instead of timing out at 600s.

Deployment. nginx passes the port in Host (the OIDC redirect URI lost
:5009) and keeps an outer proxy's X-Forwarded-Proto. The frontend waits
for a healthy backend (healthcheck probes every 2s while starting). The
frontend image builds with npm ci. Secrets are 0644 in a 0700 folder so
non-root containers can read them; existing files are fixed at startup.
The test suite no longer starts real containers on a host with Docker.

menzeljandClaude Opus 5 052a85067b Stop handing StackPilot's own settings to the stacks it deploys (0.66.3)
CI / check (push) Successful in 13m48s
CI / build-and-push (push) Successful in 4m5s
docker compose ran with StackPilot's whole environment, and compose
resolves ${VAR} from the calling environment before a stack's own .env.
A stack whose compose file says SECRET_KEY: ${SECRET_KEY} therefore ran
with StackPilot's SECRET_KEY instead of the one in its .env — and with
its own again whenever it was started from a shell. AnsiblePilot hit
exactly this: credentials saved under one key became unreadable under
the other, twice.

config.child_env() is os.environ minus every StackPilot setting
(SECRET_KEY, DATA_DIR, STACKS_DIR, PORT, ...); the docker CLI and git
subprocesses now get that instead.

menzeljandClaude Opus 5 9247ff9621 Deploy stacks from a Git repository (0.58.0)
CI / check (push) Successful in 13m10s
CI / build-and-push (push) Successful in 3m50s
StackPilot's stacks were already plain folders on disk, which makes GitOps less
of an architectural change than it would be elsewhere: a sync is "make these
files match that repo, then compose up". Almost all of the design effort went
into the word "these", because getting it wrong destroys data.

A stack folder is not just the compose file. Compose creates bind-mount
directories in it — ./config, ./data — and those hold the live state of whatever
is running. So the obvious implementation, clone into the stack folder and
git reset --hard, is a data-loss bug waiting for its first `git clean`. Instead
the clone lives in a cache under ${DATA_DIR}/git/<stack> where reset and clean
are safe, and the configured subtree is copied across. No .git ends up in the
stack folder, so backups and the file browser are unaffected too.

Deletion is the other half. Making a folder "match" a repo naively means
removing what the repo does not have, which is exactly the application data
above. So each sync records the paths it wrote, and the next sync may delete
only those — a file the repository never provided cannot be touched by any code
path here. Tested directly: a database file and a hand-written .env survive a
sync that replaces the compose file and removes a file the repo dropped.

What the repo does provide is overwritten, hand edits included. That is the
point of GitOps rather than a wart, but it is a surprise if you attach a repo to
a stack you have been editing, so the connect form says it before the first sync
and the first sync is never automatic.

The webhook is the only route in StackPilot with no bearer token, because a Git
forge has none to present. It authenticates with an HMAC over the body —
X-Hub-Signature-256 for GitHub/Gitea/Forgejo, X-Gitlab-Token for GitLab, both
compared in constant time — and answers 404, not 403, to anything unsigned. A
403 would confirm that a given stack exists and is connected to a repository,
which an unauthenticated caller has not earned. The authorization matrix test
caught this route being public and made me write that reasoning down in it,
which is exactly what that test is for.

Credentials never reach a command line: ps is readable by every process on the
host, and this runs in a container next to everything else. The HTTPS token goes
to git through GIT_ASKPASS and the environment, the SSH key through a 0600 file
kept outside the working tree, and everything git prints is scrubbed of both —
plus any credential-carrying URL — before it is stored in last_error or shown.

Auto-deploy takes the same per-stack lock as every other lifecycle action, so a
webhook firing mid-deploy reports "files synced, stack busy" instead of racing a
second compose run at the same project.

The image needed git and openssh-client, which is the only reason this release
touches the Dockerfile.

26 tests against real repositories created with the real git binary, none of
them touching the network — mocking git would mostly test the mock. Verified end
to end as well: connect, sync, a push that changes one file and deletes another,
a wrongly signed webhook, a correctly signed one, and the live data still there
afterwards.
