#5816 "Restoring mode": while a backup goes back in, the scheduler holds,
ingest and HTMX answer 503 with Retry-After (agents keep their samples),
and every page says what is happening. A safety backup of Steward as it
stands is made first, to /data/backups and the bucket. The backup's key
is put in place, the restore audited, and Steward exits with code 3 so
Swarm, compose or systemd starts it fresh. A failed in-place restore
changes nothing and says why on Backups; a full replace that fails after
the wipe restarts into first-run setup.
#5817 "Settings → Backups: Restore": a Restore button on each sent backup
and on the file card. The chosen backup is checked (the same comparison
as Check, now a shared partial) and held server-side for an hour under a
token; it starts only once the admin types "restore", and an older
backup also needs "Replace everything" ticked. A newer backup, or one
whose key can't open its secrets, gets no button.

#5768 "A maintenance cadence: a group's updates and reboots, one host at a
time, on a schedule". A plan names an inventory group, a weekday and time
in a time zone, a window and a reboot policy (only when required by
default). At its slot a run takes the group's hosts in order and gives each
a #5767 maintenance job. The next host starts only when the last is back in
service: its agent is posting and, for a swarm node, the node is active and
every replicated service is at its replicas. A failure stops the run, and
no host is started once the window has passed. A host's latest failure
shows as host_agent/<host>/maintenance_failed, for an ordinary alert rule.
The page is Hosts → Maintenance.

CI 9146 on 22b0be2:
- integration: host_agent_007 ran before core 0010 created maintenance_windows
(its window_id foreign key), so the schema never built. It now
depends_on 0010_maintenance_windows.
- unit: host_maintenance_jobs is named in the backup's EXCLUDED (run
history, like ansible_runs and host_downtime), and the
host_agent.maintenance audit action has its wording.

#5740 "A metric that departs from its normal is recorded as an anomaly to
review, and is findable after it ends", milestone 513.
- Every minute each learned key's last 15 minutes is judged against its
hour's normal: above the usual hold x1.25 and by the metric's floor opens
an occurrence, which ends when the level comes back.
- metric_anomalies holds one row per item to review; a repeat while it
still waits joins it as an occurrence (metric_anomaly_spans).
- An ended row nobody reviews within anomalies.review_days (14, Settings ->
Thresholds) lapses; an ongoing one never does.
- Learning skips every hour an occurrence covers unless its anomaly was
marked normal: no normal is learned without review.
- Alerts -> Anomalies lists those to review first, then the reviewed and
lapsed under day dividers; marking is operator/admin and audited.
- The Overview widget and get_overview warn of open ones and count those
to review; the host page shows its own; the weekly report lists the
week's and the lapsed; MCP list_anomalies and review_anomaly.
- Reviewed and lapsed rows are pruned at data.retention_days, and kept
in backups like alert history.

Run 9093: test_every_logged_action_is_worded wanted the three
prometheus.template_* actions in ACTIONS, and the list's verdict wrote
"doesn't" as a Jinja string literal, which autoescape turns into '.

#5673 "S3 client and the backup job: settings, schedule, history, metrics":
- steward/backup/s3.py: SigV4 over httpx, path-style; put and list only
(an append-only key is enough; retention is the bucket's). Signing is held
to AWS's published examples.
- steward/backup/job.py: a 15-minute tick. The daily backup goes at the hour
chosen on the reader's clock; a missed day is made up, and a failure is
retried an hour later. History of the last 30 runs, audit
(backup.made / backup.failed), and backup_age_secs / backup_bytes under
"Steward itself", resource backup, for alert rules.
- Settings → Backups: verdict first, then the bucket (secret sealed; a
blank box keeps it), the schedule, Test the bucket, Back up now, and the
recent runs.
#5675 "Docs: backing up to Archives, and restoring": docs/core/backups.md.
Also: the audit page now words the Prometheus target actions from #5668,
which showed as codes, and a guard fails on any logged action without
wording.

#5466 "Send test: check a rule's delivery from the rule". A rule's page gets
a Send test button (operator role), and MCP gets send_test_alert. Each sends
a TEST alert for that rule now, by email to everyone who gets alerts and by
webhook. The alert carries the rule's name and condition, at the latest
reading of what it watches; a rule covering hosts uses its first host. The
result for each channel shows under the button, or "Nothing is set up to
send to". Nothing fires, no event is written, and the test is audited as
alert_rule.tested. An alert with no reading now says "has no reading yet"
instead of "is None".
Docs: alerting.md also gains the burst email from #5465 "One email per burst
of alerts".

Step #5428 "Account page: change your own password" of milestone 497
"Passwords: change your own, and reset it by email". A Password section
in the page's one form, for local accounts: current, new, again. Blank
keeps the password; a new one signs out every other browser
(sessions_since) and keeps this one. A wrong current password counts
toward the login throttle. Audited as account.password_changed.

The operator's ask: an invite link sent by mail, the key in the URL, and
the new user choosing their own username, password and email.
- user_invites (migration 0037): the key's sha256 only, the address, the
role and days the admin chose, who sent it, used/revoked.
- core/invites: create (revokes an older open invite to the address),
renew (new key, new clock), find_pending, the four states, signup checks.
- /invite/<key>, outside sign-in and throttled like login: the invitee's
username, email (prefilled, theirs to change) and password; the account
takes the admin's role, the key is used up in the same transaction and
they are signed in. A bad key gets one plain message.
- Settings › Users: Invite by email (address, role, 1/7/30 days), sent from
the admin in their zone; without a mail server, or if sending fails, the
link is shown once to copy. Invites not yet used are listed with Resend
and Withdraw.
- Audit: user.invited, user.invite_resent, user.invite_revoked, user.joined.

Milestone 495 "Email goes to each account, in its own time zone", on the
operator's ruling (System 156): notifications go to each user, times in
their zone, defaults on, toggled per user or per role.
- users.notify_alerts / notify_report (migration 0036): None follows the
role's default, notify.<kind>.<role> in settings, all on to start.
- mail.pick_recipients: active accounts that want the email and have an
address mail can reach (an SSO placeholder like name@oidc is skipped and
flagged), each in its own zone with no UTC beside it, then the Also send
to addresses in their chosen zone with UTC beside. One copy per address,
all over one SMTP connection.
- Alerts, the weekly report and the test email (to you, in your zone, plus
the typed addresses) send that way. The save-time smtp.tz capture is gone.
- Notifications: a role × email table of defaults, who each email reaches
and who can't be reached, and Also send to with its own zone, which starts
as the first admin's to open the page.
- Account page: your address and your two switches. Users: an Emailed
column, and an admin sets an account's switches on its page.
- The Alerts page counts the accounts it emails. zone_select macro and
formatting.zones_by_region shared by Account and Notifications.

#5336 "Users page: list accounts, change role, disable, reset a local
password, create a local user".
- Settings › Users (admin only, a Settings tab): every account with how it
signs in, its role, last sign-in (from the audit log) and working AI
tokens; disabled accounts last. A row opens the account.
- An account's page: rename (any account), role and password (local
accounts; an LDAP or single sign-on role comes from the provider at
every sign-in, and the page says so), disable or enable, and Delete
behind the confirm dialog.
- Refusals are said beside the control: nobody disables, demotes or
deletes themselves, the last active admin stays, and an account that
made alert rules, maintenance windows or playbook runs is disabled
rather than deleted (those records keep who made them).
- Add user: a local account with a role and a password of 8+ characters.
- Every change is audited as user.*, and the audit log names and links the
account.

The operator, reviewing SNMP on #5214: "this system looks incomplete like
there's something missing from it". The one device shown was plugin.yaml's
example (core-switch 192.168.1.1, community public), polled every minute;
devices could only be defined by editing YAML in the image; a failed poll was
logged at DEBUG and stored nowhere, so the page said "waiting for the next
poll" forever; v3 ran as v2c; counters showed as lifetime totals.
- Devices are rows (snmp_devices, migration snmp_001): address, port,
v1/v2c community or a v3 user with auth/priv protocols and keys (secrets
encrypted), presets plus custom readings, an optional host binding, and
the newest poll's outcome. The YAML device list and its example are gone.
- The SNMP page adds, edits and deletes them (admin, audited, with
get_audit_entities so the audit log names and links a device). Readings
come from presets (system uptime, interface traffic by number, UPS-MIB,
Linux net-snmp) and custom "OID name [unit]" lines.
- One GET per device with every OID, devices polled at once. The outcome is
written to the row in words ("No reply from … within 5 s. Check the address
and port, that SNMP is on, and the community"), with readings it lacks.
v1's whole-request error drops that OID and asks again. SNMPv3 signs in
with USM (MD5/SHA-1/SHA-2, DES/3DES/AES).
- Test asks the unsaved form's device for its name, description, uptime and
interfaces by number. It is an admin's explicit action; every page reads
only stored rows (System 178's ruling).
- Each reading has a unit; a counter is stored as a per-second rate (bytes as
bit/s), a reset or wrap skipped. The page, widget and host panel say values
in units and why a device is silent; the device page draws a chart per
reading on a dated axis.
Tests: readings and presets, the form and its secrets, v3 checks, rates,
the poller against a stand-in pysnmp (one GET, v1 retry, timeout wording,
USM), the pages, and an integration test of the poll writing outcomes and
rates on Postgres.

The operator found "Today 08:03" in place of a date odd on the audit log,
and asked for the recency groups as dividers instead. |when now always
writes the date ("Thu 8 Oct 08:03"); mark_day_groups gives each entry its
group in the reader's zone, and a divider row opens each group. A scrolled
page carries the group the last one ended in, so it is not opened twice.

- users.time_zone (0034). An account without one takes the browser's zone
on its first page (POST /account/time-zone/adopt, never over a choice made
by hand); the session follows the account on every request.
- /account: who you are and the zone every page writes its times in,
reached from your name in the sidebar.
- formatting.when: 'Today 06:58', 'Yesterday 23:41', 'Tue 6 Oct 14:12',
'6 Oct 2025 14:12', 24-hour, in the reader's zone; |ago's hover is the
exact local moment instead of UTC; tz_label() for column headers.
- Audit log: When (EDT) with exact times, one detail fact a line, on classes.
- tzdata in the image, and the airgapped smoke checks a zone resolves.

#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.

Traefik: routers are graded from their latest scrape (router_state: crit on
any real 5xx share, warn on p95 past the latency critical cutoff or a high
4xx share). Failing and slow routers lead as cards that say why; healthy
ones fold into one table that stays open or shut across polls. Proxy
counts are stat tiles; certificates are graded by Settings -> Thresholds
(tls_days).
UniFi: WAN health is a stat strip (latency graded by the thresholds),
devices carry status dots, event categories and firewall actions are
badges, the alarm count reuses .count-badge (renamed from .nav-count).
SNMP: each device wears a status badge and its readings are stat tiles.
Agent fleet: the table comes first, with a Status column (Reporting /
Silent / Never reported, by the host page's stale_after_seconds), silent
agents first, hosts linked, last seen as |ago.
Audit: entries name their entity (one query per type, steward/audit/
service.py) and link it; something deleted since keeps the name its entry
recorded and says "(deleted)".
Tokens: charts read colours through chart-colors.js (stewardColor resolves
a token to the rgb the browser computed; Chart.js defaults take the page's
text and border colours), so host, history, Traefik and SNMP charts drop
their hex. Template hex colours reach 0 (HEX_CEILING = 0), the last rgba
pills go, and heavy weights (600/700/bold, 60 of them) become 500, the
house pair being 400/500; a guard keeps templates there.

Renames the Python package directory, CLI command, env var prefix,
docker-compose service/container/image, Postgres role/db, and all
visible branding. Marketing form is "Fabled Steward".
Clean break from the previous rebrand: drops the fabledscryer→roundtable
import shim in __init__.py and the FABLEDSCRYER_* env var fallback in
config.py and migrations/env.py. Env vars are now STEWARD_* only.
Heads-up for existing deployments:
- Postgres user/db renamed fabledscryer → steward in docker-compose.yml.
Existing volumes need the role/db renamed inside Postgres, or override
POSTGRES_USER/POSTGRES_DB to keep the old names.
- Host-agent systemd unit is now steward-agent.service. Existing agents
keep running under the old name; reinstall to switch.
