Every run warned twice because of Steward's own inventory:
- 'Invalid characters were found in group names': the group 'Docker
Swarm' went into the inventory as typed. ansible_group_name() cleans it
to docker_swarm (lower case, [a-z0-9_], never a leading digit); two
names that clean alike get _2, _3 so neither folds into the other. The
group page says what plays call it. The display name is unchanged.
- Python interpreter discovery: ansible_env sets
ANSIBLE_PYTHON_INTERPRETER=auto_silent unless the environment already
sets one; a target or group's ansible_python_interpreter still wins.
Runs are scoped by target set (steward:group:<id>), not by group name,
and --limit is free text, so neither path depends on the name.

/ansible/inventory/ shows every target (address, its linked Steward host,
its groups) and every group (members, the schedules aimed at it) under a
verdict line. The whole row opens the target or group. Add target and
Add group open small dialogs; a failed add comes back with its dialog
open and what was typed. The red x leaves the rows: Delete is on the
target's or group's page, behind the confirm dialog, saying which
schedules would be left with nothing to run on.
The two list pages (/inventory/targets, /inventory/groups) are gone
with no redirect (rule 122); their URLs keep only the Add POST.

- /ansible/playbooks lists every playbook across sources: what it says it
does, its category and destructive flag, how it last ran; the whole row
opens the playbook. A source with none is one quiet line.
- /ansible/playbooks/<source>/<path>: the verdict (what it does, flagged
destructive, last ran), the run form in place (dry run beside the button,
options folded), the schedules that use it, its recent runs, the playbook
itself folded. ?from=<run> fills the form from that run: Run again on a
run's page.
- /ansible/browse, its view page and the /run-form fragment are gone, not
redirected (rule 122); every link points at the new pages.

- section_tabs macro; Runs · Playbooks · Schedules · Inventory on every
Ansible page, replacing each page's own set of header buttons.
- Runs: a verdict line (last 30 days, failures first with the latest named,
running now, the schedule due next); under each status what the run did
across its hosts (ansible/recap.py); a filter bar (playbook, status, who
started it) that swaps the table and carries into the scroll paging.
- Run page: status, duration, start and who started it in one line; each
host's result in words, worst first; the playbook it ran links to it;
the log and failures on classes rather than inline colours.

The all-rules page reads a Postgres shared with other tests, whose
Ansible-run events turn the column on.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
History (#5316):
- Transitions fold into episodes (steward/alerts/episodes.py): each stretch
out of quiet, the worst state it reached, how long it lasted, its worst
reading against the rule ('3m 21s (fires above 3m)'), who was told across
its changes, and its Ansible runs. The changes themselves fold under it.
- An episode cut by paging says so ('cleared later (above)', 'earlier').
- For one rule: a verdict ('Fired 4 times in the last 7d, 1h 2m in all') and
no Rule column. Notified and Action show only when the range has any.
Tests:
- The confirm guard looks for a confirm( call, not the word in the comment
that says it is gone (lesson #4365).
- The Hosts viewer test looks for the add-host dialog by id, since every page
now carries the confirm dialog.

Service page:
- The header carries the verdict, mode, stack, image and when it was reported.
'In trouble since' shows only while the service is in trouble; once recovered,
'Last failed X ago · its logs'.
- The failure card shows only while the service is down, degraded or crash-looping.
- The tile strip and the kv card are gone.
- One Tasks table: running tasks first with CPU, memory and since when, then
Swarm's record. The node is named as its Steward host throughout, and
'N failed in 24h' sits in the caption.
Container page:
- Same shape: header verdict, a 'Last exit' card only while it is stopped
after a failing exit, set-up and I/O in one kv card, and lifecycle as a table.
- A swarm task's breadcrumb goes through its service.
Both pages:
- Resource history is the one fragment (_usage_history.html): now and peak in
cores and bytes, drawn with a floor of 1 core / 1 GiB (sparkline_svg floor=),
so idle noise draws flat.
- The container page's old % sparklines, its private _sparkline and the unused
bucket()/container_history() helpers are removed.

Each `docker system df` report is now also recorded as metrics, with the host
as the resource: disk_total_bytes, its parts, and disk_reclaimable_bytes. An
alert rule can watch them. The Disk page starts with the hosts side by side,
showing how much each grew over the selected range with a line of it, then
gives each host its own section. An image's versions fold under its
repository, which is charged only for the layers its versions don't share.

render_plugin_template's first three arguments are positional-only, so the

overview.py holds the rows, filters and sort as plain functions. The filter
bar sits outside the polled fragment and the URL keeps its state. A service's
page reads every task container Steward still holds anything for, the live
ones and removed ones known by their events, so a failed task's logs are
reachable after Docker has removed it.

#5294 "Hosts list: search, group and status filters; sortable columns; a Groups column".
Ansible inventory groups are Steward's grouping system (operator's ruling): a host's
groups are its linked target's, and membership overlaps, so the list filters by group
rather than sectioning by it.
- Filter bar: search on name or address, a group (or "No group"), a status (Down,
Agent silent, Up, No monitors). The table swaps in alone and the URL keeps the filters.
- Name, Status, Latency, 30d uptime, CPU and Memory headers sort (sort_th in _macros);
problems-first stays the default, and a host with no value goes last either way.
- A Groups column of chips, each filtering to its group; shown when any group exists.
- A swap is keyed on HX-Target, so Back to a pushed URL still gets the page.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Hosts list:
- CPU and Memory are their own labelled columns (#5279); a silent
agent's last readings are greyed, and Status says "agent silent for 7m".
- One uptime figure, 30 days, with 24h and 7d on hover. The SLA tab
(/hosts/uptime) repeated it and is removed (#5280; one home per fact).
- Status is a word with how long ("Down for 12m"); host_status now carries
down_since. Edit and Delete live on the host's page only (#5281).
- Figures are right-aligned with tabular digits (.table .num), not a
monospace face.
Agent fleet (#5282): its add-host form is gone, so hosts are added only on
Hosts -> Add host. That form was also the only way to get a token for a
manual curl install, so that moves to the host's Agent card as "Install
manually" (POST /fleet/<host_id>/register), shown on the fleet page as
before. "Delete" there reads "Unregister".
Add host (#5283): laid out like the add-monitor form; a name clash comes
back inline with what was typed instead of a bare text 400; the address
is optional, as the host page already allowed.

Monitor page: a response-time chart for the last day with failed checks
marked; Edit / Pause / Delete as labelled buttons; the state tile says
"for 29m" instead of "for at least 29m 25s ago"; the check strip fills
its card; no failures is one line, not an empty box; Settings names the
type, target and the actual global interval, with readable field names.
Add monitor: a line under the fields says what the selected type checks
and when it counts as up; Name says it defaults to the target.

The fill bars were a share of the host's capacity, a sliver on hosts with
80 cores. Each figure now sits beside 24 bars of the last 6 hours (1h/24h
per widget), each row scaled to its own peak but never below 1 core or
1 GiB (configurable per widget), so a 0.05-core container reads flat and
a bar's height means real load. One grouped date_bin query feeds them.

CI 8551 integration: "integer out of range" for a 2099 timestamp.
The SQL in the log showed a second problem: `CAST(epoch AS INTEGER) / 60`
compiled to `/ CAST(60 AS NUMERIC)`, i.e. decimal division. Every scrape got
its own "bucket", so the request chart and the Traefik page's sparklines
never averaged anything. The int4 cast would also overflow in 2038.
Both now use date_bin from the epoch, as host_agent/metrics_query.py does.
The integration test adds a second scrape 30 s later in the same minute and
checks that the bucket averages the totals and weights the 5xx share over
both scrapes.

#5256 "Traefik — Request chart: blank on the live dashboard; time axis and honest labels".
- "Req/s" was the average of the routers, not the total. Each scrape is now
summed over routers, then averaged per bucket (request_history).
- The 5xx share is now weighted by each router's traffic. The axis is no
longer pinned at 0–100 (suggestedMax 5).
- The x axis shows times, in the viewer's local time. The tooltip shows
both series at that time.
- A verdict line comes first: now / peak req/s and the peak 5xx share. The
figures read even if the chart doesn't.
- The blank live chart's cause is still unknown. Chart.js and
chart-colors.js both load on the dashboard. A missing library or a thrown
error is now written into the widget instead of leaving it empty, so the
cause will show on the page.

#5254 "Traefik — Routers: current routers only, header row, certs on the router they serve".
- Router hosts come from Traefik's API (/api/http|tcp/routers), read
best-effort on each scrape. An optional api_url overrides it; the default
is /api on the metrics host. A certificate's expiry then shows in a TLS
column on the router whose host it covers. An expiring one makes that
router a problem, graded by Settings → Thresholds.
- Only current: routers and certificates must have appeared in the last
three scrapes. Certificates are upserted by serial and never deleted, so
renewed or retired ones lingered on the widget.
- Widget order: verdict, problem routers with the reason, then the busiest
healthy routers under one header (Router / Req/s / Bandwidth / p95 / TLS).
A missing value shows "—".
- If the API is unreachable, expiring certificates are listed after the
routers, not above them.
- The page splits certificates into served (with the routers using each,
plus SANs) and "No longer served".
- Latest row per router: an index walk (recursive CTE + LATERAL) replaces
DISTINCT plus a query per router.

The Hosts — Overview widget opens with a verdict ("VDNT-Util01: CPU high."
or "All 3 hosts healthy."), then one row per host under one header: CPU,
memory, disk / and load. Rows sort by host_glance: a down monitor, a
reading past critical, a quiet agent, a warning, then the healthy. Load
reads "16.8 / 8 cores", graded per core as Settings → Thresholds intends
(cores counted from the per-core CPU sub-resources, as on the host page).
A quiet agent's last figures are shown uncoloured, with when it last reported.
Ping and 24h uptime are gone from this widget: they belong to Monitors. So
are the unlabelled CPU sparkline and the 30-day uptime query it no longer
needs.

#5212 "Plain labels: no raw ids, scopes, metric keys or unexplained jargon",

the MCP tools. Migration 0031 backfills past runs from alert events,
schedules' last runs, and MCP audit entries.

The raw scope tooltip is gone.
- Run detail: no run id in the subtitle or body, Started by in words, and
the host summary lists failed and unreachable hosts first. The live

#5212 "Plain labels: no raw ids, scopes, metric keys or unexplained jargon",
batch 1:
- Audit log: each action reads as a sentence ("paused monitor"), with the
code as its tooltip. Detail shows flags as yes/no, lists joined, a run's
scope by name, spans as spans, and no ids the entity column already gives.
The filter is now a picker of areas.
- Alert rules, history and Status say the condition in words: "is down",
"Fullest disk >= 85%". Readings use metric_value, and history times use
|ago.
- Rule form: sources and metrics by name, the threshold's unit, "fires
when it is down/up" for an up/down metric instead of 0.5, and a metric
reference built from the catalog.
- Schedules and Maintenance: viewers no longer see Run now, Pause, Edit,
Delete or New. Intervals and next runs read as "every 2h" and "in 3h";
a scope reads "Every alert on Host agent".

#5211 "Lists load as you scroll: audit, alert history, Ansible runs"
(milestone 477), per preference 172.
- core/paging.py: keyset paging over (time, id), newest first, with an
opaque "<iso>|<id>" cursor; a page reads one row past itself to know
whether another follows. No OFFSET, so rows added while someone scrolls
never shift the pages after them.
- _macros.html scroll_more / scroll_end and static/scroll-more.js, written
once: an IntersectionObserver with a 600px margin fetches the next page
before the reader reaches the end; "Loading more…" while in flight,
"End of the list." at the end, and a failed page says so with a Retry
button instead of re-firing on every scroll.
- Audit log: no "Load more" link and no 500-row cap.
- Alert history: no 200-row stop with "pick a shorter range";
alert_svc.history takes the cursor, so the MCP tool and the page share
one query.
- Ansible runs: no silent cap of 50.

long it has been breaching (from the alert's events; acknowledging moves
last_transition_at) and, apart from that, who acknowledged it and when.
Rules show what each is doing now; disabled rules sort last. The current
value reads the latest-value table (#5208) instead of plugin_metrics.
- Monitors: a down monitor says "Down 12m · connection refused" in the list.
- Hosts: sorted down, agent gone quiet, pending, healthy. The agent column
shows "—" for a missing reading (was 0%) and a Stale badge with its age.
agent_metrics_by_host is gone; the list reads agent_overview_by_host.
- Schedules: failing first (failed or interrupted run, or a firing that could
not start one), then running, then the rest, paused last; status badge
from the shared states.
- Maintenance windows: active (ending soonest), then upcoming (starting
soonest), with expired folded away; each says when it ends/starts/ended.

Migration 0030 seeded plugin_metric_latest from the whole history: two index
probes per distinct metric key. On the live instance that held the first
boot for 7+ minutes with Steward down. The migration now only creates the
table. Live sources fill it on their next sample, and backfill_latest runs
after startup for resources that have history but no latest rows. Per
resource it does one backward probe for the last sample, then takes the
newest value per metric within the hour before it. Resources that already
have rows are skipped, so later boots only walk the resource names.

_last_n_results (Status, the monitors list, host monitors), host_status
(hosts overview, list_hosts) and the report's down-monitor list each
ranked every result a monitor ever recorded to keep the newest few. Each
monitor now gets ORDER BY checked_at DESC LIMIT n in a LATERAL subquery,
which walks ix_monitor_results_monitor_checked backwards and stops.
Also fixes the latest-table test, which read between two begin() blocks
and so autobegan a transaction the second block then refused.

The dashboard's host widgets took 18-60 s. Every "latest reading" query
(hosts overview, host-agent fleet, host page, vitals, SNMP, MCP get_host)
searched plugin_metrics for the newest row per metric. Postgres has no skip
scan, so each one read every raw sample in the 7-day window.
- plugin_metric_latest: one row per (source, resource, metric).
record_metrics upserts it in the same transaction, moving forward only and
in sorted key order. Migration 0030 seeds it by stepping the existing index.
- Retention drops a latest row once its sample leaves the raw window, so a
resource that stopped reporting disappears when its history does, as before.
Renames carry it along.
- A quiet host keeps its last values, marked stale. A time-bounded query
would have shown it as missing.
- Vitals sparklines span the 6 h they claim, averaged in SQL to ~120 points,
instead of fetching 6 h raw and drawing the last 120 samples.
- Dashboard and share-view cells: "Loading…" until the first answer; a 20 s
deadline per fetch; "Couldn't load (why)" with Retry now and an automatic
retry for cells that don't poll; "as of HH:MM" in the header, and
"couldn't refresh · as of" when a refresh fails over shown data.

- One run per host: start_run claims every host it touches (addresses read
from the inventory Steward wrote; a source's own inventory file is claimed
as that file) before it takes a run slot. The claim is all-or-nothing. A run
waiting on a host shows queued and names the run it waits for, honours a
cancel, and fails after HOST_WAIT_SECONDS (1 h) with which host and run.
- A due schedule whose previous run is still queued or running skips the
firing: last_run_at moves on, last_run_id still names the run going, and
last_error says "Skipped: the previous run was still going". The Schedules
page shows that beside the run (muted), and a launch error in red.
- An alert rule that fires while the action run from an earlier firing is
still going starts no new run; the event says so and names the run. An
in-process set closes the gap between the check and the run being linked.
- docs/core/ansible.md: queued/cancelled statuses and the overlap rules.
Tests: tests/core/test_ansible_overlap.py (claim keys, waiting, all-or-nothing,
cancel, deadline) and tests/integration/test_ansible_overlap.py (two real
runs on one host take turns; schedule skip then fire; alert action skip then
start).

- Output is read in 64 KiB chunks and split into lines here; a line past
64 KiB is cut and marked instead of raising out of readline's limit.
- ansible-playbook runs in its own session; whatever ends the read (finish,
an error, the task being cancelled) SIGTERMs then SIGKILLs its whole group,
so no ssh or worker it forked outlives the run.
- A run whose task is cancelled (shutdown) records 'cancelled' with
finished_at before re-raising, instead of staying 'running'.
- A cancel that lands after the process exited 0 no longer turns a
successful run into 'cancelled'.

- prune_by_age(column) registers a time-series column with the hourly cleanup;

read from Settings each run; Ansible run log files older than it are deleted.
- audit.retention_days (365) keeps the audit log longer, set on Settings > General.

raw/rollup seam is where the rollup put it (RAW_DAYS removed).

The agent (1.9.0) said nothing when Docker could not be asked and nothing
when Docker had no containers, so Steward could tell neither apart from the
other, and kept a host's last containers on screen as running either way.
- Agent: collect_docker returns (status, detail, containers). "ok" sends
docker: [] when there are none; "unavailable" (no socket, nothing
listening) and "error" (permission, timeout, bad answer) say why.
collect_swarm says whether /info answered, and a node that is not a
manager sends swarm_manager: false. A failed /info says nothing.
- Ingest: an empty docker list is a snapshot; the newest sample's status
goes to the Docker plugin with the rest.
- docker_host_status (docker_011): per host, status, detail, since and
last report. A host that never had Docker gets no row.
- An "ok" empty snapshot reaps the host's containers; an error keeps them.
swarm_manager: false drops the host's swarm services and nodes.
- Docker page: a "Docker not answering" card names each such host, why,
and since when; its containers read as stale. Duplicate header comment
in rows.html removed.

#5093 "Shared format filters and status_class driven by Settings → Thresholds".
- steward/core/formatting.py: human_bytes (binary units), human_rate,
human_duration (two largest units), ago (a <time> titled with the absolute
UTC time) and status_class(value, kind, thresholds) -> ok/warn/crit/unknown,
which raises on a kind the thresholds don't name.
- app.py registers them as the bytes, rate, duration and ago filters and the
status_class global; threshold_style is now graded by status_class (and caps
its weight at 500).
- Replaces the copies: docker's _human_bytes/_human_uptime, core alerts'
_duration, the host-agent fmt_bps/fmt_bytes macros, the Traefik and UniFi
byte-rate arithmetic, the swarm-failures ago macro and two uptime spans.
- Tests: a table per helper, and every template compiled against the app's
filters, so an unknown filter fails CI rather than a page.

#5065 "Renames carry their alerts". Alert rules, maintenance-window scopes

answers with `carried` (it used to return a warning naming stranded rules).
- A name another monitor of the same type, or another host, already has is
refused on create and rename: two would share one history.
- The rename is audited (monitor.updated / host.renamed) with what moved.
Tests: an integration test renames a firing monitor through the web route
and finds its rule still firing and cleared by a sample on the new name,
its window and raw+hourly history moved and an orphan's history dropped; a
host rename moves agent and container parts but not a longer-named host's
or another source's; a guard that every host_agent resource is "<host>" or
"<host>:…".

#5064 "Notifications that arrive":
- render_webhook: alert.* is escaped to sit inside a JSON string (a quote
or newline in a rule name no longer breaks the body); raw.* is the plain
value for |tojson; a missing value reads "no data"; the template runs
sandboxed and the body is checked to be JSON before it is sent.
- SMTP: 15s timeout; port 465 connects with implicit TLS, otherwise the
box means STARTTLS; a From address setting (falls back to the username).
- A webhook error no longer carries the URL, which is a secret.
- Settings → Notifications: "Send a test email" / "Send a test webhook"
send a sample alert with the form's values (unsaved) and show the result
and the body that went out; template help names alert.* and raw.*.
- Notification audits go through audit_request; the test send is audited
as settings.notification.tested, with the channel and outcome only.

CI 8343: the wait-for-all-tasks loop also waited on the executor's
5-minute run-output cleanup task (_schedule_cleanup) and hit its 120s
deadline. Wait on alerts._background, then poll the run to a final status.

Notifications and alert actions now start only once the evaluating
transaction commits, and never for one that rolls back. record_metrics
queues them on the session (_after_commit), and after_commit/after_rollback
listeners on the sync session spawn or drop them. Spawned tasks are held in a
module set so they cannot be garbage-collected before they run.
A maintenance window no longer skips evaluation. Alerts in its scope still
change state, but their notifications and actions are held, and each event
says so ("notification muted: maintenance window <name>"; also on no-data
and resume events). notify_after_maintenance, run every minute with the
silence check as the new core task alert_reconcile, sends one notification
for an alert still firing after its window ends and runs its action. The
event's note records the release.
Alert actions go through runner.trigger_run like every other run path, so
the playbook and the inventory must be ones the source lists (#5034 guards).
The firing event links to the run, or its note says why the action did not
start. The maintenance page and form wording now say what a window does.
Tests:
- integration: a rolled-back evaluation notifies nobody, and dispatch waits
for the commit; maintenance mutes while the state moves and notifies once
when the window ends; an action whose playbook is outside its source is
refused, with the note set;
- the alert-action test uses a listed inventory name and waits, with a
deadline, for the run the action starts;
- unit: _muted_by.

Agent offline is an ordinary rule now. The host_agent scheduler records
host_agent/<host>/seconds_since_seen every minute (from last_seen_at, or
registration time for an agent that never reported), replacing the task
that only logged stale agents. The catalog offers the metric, and picking
it on a new rule fills "> 180".
No data: each rule's state tracks its last sample and its usual gap,
smoothed so that an outage counts as at most three gaps. A core task,
alert_silence_check, runs every 60s and marks a rule no_data_since once its
series has had no sample for three usual gaps (at least 5 minutes; an hour
while the cadence is unknown). A never-sampled rule counts from when it
started watching. The mark sits beside the state, so a firing alert that
goes silent stays firing. Each silence records one event and sends one
notification (rule option notify_no_data, default on; muted in maintenance
windows). The next sample clears it with a "data resumed" event and
notification. Creating, changing, disabling or re-enabling a rule restarts
its watch.
Migration 0029 adds the columns and seeds each existing rule's last sample
and gap from its last day of data, so an upgrade does not flag every rule.
Shown on the Alerts page (a NO DATA badge with its start time), in MCP
list_alerts, list_alert_rules and get_host (state "no_data", no_data_since),
in get_overview findings (alert_no_data, or a firing alert marked silent)
and in the weekly report. The rule form has the notify option, and its
metric reference now matches what traefik records and lists host_agent.
Emails say "no data" and carry the event's note.
The metric-catalog guard also reads positional MetricBatch.add arguments.

Importing plugins.host_agent.models after the app loaded the plugin defines
host_agent_registrations twice (run 8310).

#5060 "One evaluation path: record_metrics batch API; host-agent ingest
evaluates rules".
- record_metrics(session, rows) writes metric rows and evaluates the rules
that watch them, reading rules, states and maintenance windows once per
batch. Each rule sees its key's samples oldest first, so an agent catching
up after an outage counts consecutive checks as they happened.
- Host-agent ingest now goes through it. Before, it wrote plugin_metrics
directly and no host_agent rule could ever fire. The catalog gains the
per-mount disk_used_pct ("<host>:<mount>").
- MetricBatch gathers a transaction's samples; the docker ingest, traefik,
unifi, snmp, monitor and self-monitor writers record one batch each instead
of a rule query per sample.

#5059 "Alert state machine: acknowledgement holds until resolve; N
consecutive OK to resolve; editing, disabling or deleting a rule resets it".
- The state machine is now next_step(), a pure function of one sample. An
acknowledged alert stays acknowledged while breached; before, the next
breaching sample re-fired it. Firing and acknowledged alerts resolve after
consecutive_ok_required OK checks in a row (new rule column, default 1;
rule form, rules list and MCP create/update_alert_rule clear_after_checks).
- Changing what a rule watches (source, resource, metric, operator,
threshold) or disabling it resets its alert to inactive; a firing or
acknowledged one records a resolved event whose new note says why, and
nobody is notified. Web and MCP edits share alerts.service.apply_rule_change.
- Migration 0028: consecutive_ok_required, consecutive_ok_count,
alert_events.note, and metric_value nullable (a reset has no sample).

#5036 "SSO and LDAP: users keep their auth source, no merging into local
accounts, is_active checked, LDAP TLS real and filter escaped".
- users gain auth_source (local/ldap/oidc) and external_id (migration 0027).
A provider account is found by (source, subject) only: the LDAP entry DN
or the OIDC sub. A first sign-in whose username or email another account
holds is refused with a message naming why; a disabled user stays out.
- Local passwords sign in local accounts only.
- LDAP: port 636 is LDAPS, otherwise StartTLS before any bind; the server
certificate is checked against the system CAs or a CA pasted in
Settings -> Auth. The login name is escaped into the filter (RFC 4515),
and an empty password is refused before the directory sees it.
- OIDC: the ID token must carry this sign-in's nonce and the userinfo sub.

The local import shadowed UserRole for the whole function, so its earlier
use read an unassigned name (ruff F823, CI run 8294).
