Operator saw the `http` plugin -- deleted when ping/dns/http were unified into
the Monitor entity -- still reported as enabled, with no way to clear it.
It was never an orphaned row. `plugin.http` was hardcoded in core DEFAULTS, so
deleting the app_settings row did nothing: the default reasserted it on the
next settings load. That is precisely why no cleanup UI could have fixed it.
Rule 22 says the removed subsystem should have taken its setting with it.
Purged the surviving references -- the DEFAULTS key, "http" in
CAPABILITY_PLUGINS, the stale plugin_manager docstring example, and the
capabilities blurb still advertising HTTP/uptime as a bundled capability --
plus a migration dropping any stored plugin.http row. Untouched: `http` as a
MONITOR TYPE (icmp/tcp/dns/http) everywhere it appears, and http_001_initial,
which is kept deliberately so existing DBs resolve the revision graph.
For the general case, cleanup splits by provenance rather than being uniformly
automatic or uniformly manual:
Bundled plugins ship in the image and version atomically with core, so they
cannot be transiently missing -- a plugin.* default with no bundled directory
is unambiguously a bug. Guarded by a unit test that fails CI, which is the
only part safe to automate.
External plugins live in operator-mounted /data/plugins, where absence is
ambiguous: unmounted volume, failed install, mid-upgrade. Auto-deleting their
config would silently destroy unrecoverable credentials on a transient
condition, so Settings now lists them under "Configured but not installed"
with an explicit, confirmed, audit-logged Remove. The section hides entirely
when empty, and the remove route refuses if the plugin is actually installed.
Orphan detection reads STORED rows, never the DEFAULTS-merged view -- offering
to remove a default-only key would be a lie -- and returns names only, since
plugin config can hold credentials and listing orphans never needs their values.

The user-facing half (rule 27). Per-container log viewer + admin controls, so
container logs are something the operator can actually touch.
Viewer (plugins/docker):
- /container/<host>/<name>/logs full page + /logs/lines HTMX fragment polled
every 5s (near-live follow); stream filter (all/stdout/stderr) + case-insensitive
text search; newest-first so the latest lines survive the poll's scroll reset;
empty/loading states; a "View logs" link from the container detail page.
Jinja auto-escapes log content (no markup injection).
Settings (Thresholds & Retention tab):
- global on/off toggle, comma-separated exclude list, retention days + max MB
per container — DB-backed, no restart. The toggle + exclude are enforced
authoritatively at ingest (_persist_logs drops disabled/excluded lines), since
the push model has no channel to tell an agent to stop.
Tests: route-defined smoke; template-parse covers the new templates; integration
test for the ingest-time toggle + exclude enforcement.

The schedule and host run forms opened their Source/Playbook <select>s on a
"— choose … —" placeholder, forcing an extra click. Default them to the first
item and cascade the dependent fields so the initial state is real:
- Remove the placeholder options (schedules source+playbook, host source+
playbook, and the shared _playbook_options fragment).
- schedules(): pass sel_source (first source, or the edited schedule's) and
that source's pre-rendered playbooks so the playbook dropdown starts populated
(create mode too, no longer the all-sources union).
- Cascade on load/change: the source <select> fires playbook-options then
(hx-on::after-settle) re-triggers the playbook <select>, which loads that
playbook's variable fields. Host form drives the whole chain from a load
trigger; schedule create mode loads vars via the playbook <select>'s own load
trigger, while edit mode keeps its server-rendered prefill untouched.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Ansible Schedules form only offered a free-form extra-vars textarea,
unlike the browse/host run forms which auto-populate a field per declared
playbook variable (vars:/vars_prompt:) plus the playbook description. Wire
the schedule form to the same shared `_playbook_vars.html` partial:
- Playbook <select> now loads /ansible/playbook-vars?schedule=1 on change
into a #sch-playbook-vars container (mirrors the host detail form).
- Edit mode pre-renders the saved playbook's variables server-side with
their stored values; the extra-vars textarea keeps only leftover
(non-declared) vars.
- Partial gains optional `values` (prefill) and `schedule` flags. In the
schedule context secret vars render disabled ("secrets can't be
scheduled") since they're dropped downstream, and the destructive-confirm
gate is shown but not required.
Backend already parsed var__* fields for schedules, so this is the
front-end/partial parity fix.

SNMP devices are config-defined by IP/hostname, not Steward Host records, so
they had no presence on a host's page. Map them by address and embed a fragment
(mirrors the Docker per-host fragment).
- _devices_for_host(devices_cfg, address, name): case-insensitive match of a
device's configured host to the Steward host's address or name (tolerates
non-dict / host-less entries).
- Route /plugins/snmp/host/<id>: renders the matched device(s) + latest readings,
or nothing when none map (so hosts without SNMP carry no empty card).
- snmp/host_panel.html: per-device card (name · address · reachability) with a
readings grid (K/M scaling) and a History link to the full device page.
- hosts/detail.html embeds it after the Docker fragment, gated on snmp enabled.
- Unit test for the matching helper (by address, by name, no-match, blank).

plugin_metrics grows by (sources × resources × ~30s cadence); keeping 90d of raw
is a large table. Add a raw→hourly rollup (mirroring the Docker plugin) so only a
short raw window is kept at full resolution, with hourly averages archived longer.
- PluginMetricHourly model + core migration 0024 (plugin_metrics_hourly: avg/max/
count per source/resource/metric/hour, unique bucket constraint + lookup index).
- steward/core/metrics_retention.rollup_plugin_metrics: date_trunc('hour') agg of
raw older than the hour-aligned raw window, idempotent pg upsert into hourly,
delete the rolled raw, prune hourly beyond the rollup window.
- cleanup.py: plugin_metrics is no longer blanket-deleted at data.retention_days;
_run_metrics_retention drives the rollup with windows read live from settings.
- Settings: metrics.retention.raw_days (7) + rollup_days (90), tunable on the
Thresholds & Retention page (new "Host metrics retention" card).
- Chart read: _history_for_host merges the hourly rollup (older part of the range)
with raw date_bin (recent part, capped ≤1h), so 30d charts keep working —
recent at full resolution, older at hourly. Route passes raw_days from settings.
- Tests: unit (cutoff helpers) + integration (rollup aggregates/prunes; history
merges hourly + raw) against Postgres.
Speed was already handled by the indexes + SQL aggregation; this is the storage
lever (raw window ~10x smaller).

Realizes the chosen host-summary layout: a thin live vitals bar at the very top,
separate from the agent management panel (no more duplicated CPU/MEM/DISK/LOAD).
- New fragment _host_vitals.html + route /plugins/host_agent/vitals/<id>: compact
CPU / Memory / Disk(/) / Load-per-core (threshold-coloured + sparkline) +
Pressure + live/stale·version·last-seen. Polled every 15s; renders nothing
until the agent reports.
- The metric computation (latest snapshot + 6h sparkline query + load/core + PSI)
moves from host_panel into host_vitals. host_panel slims to management only
(reg/target/reporting/stale/ansible) and no longer queries metrics; panel.html
drops the gauge row + pressure block, keeping status + lifecycle actions.
- hosts/detail.html: vitals strip on top (full width, live), then a 2-col
[Monitors | Agent] grid, Ansible full width below, docker fragment last.
UI only. Templates parse; plugin-template parse test covers the new fragment.

- Mobile toggle is now a real toggle: aria-controls/aria-expanded kept in sync,

The host detail page stacked three full-width cards (Monitors, Agent, Ansible)
left-aligned, using only ~40% of the width with lots of vertical whitespace.
Rework toward the operator-chosen "vitals on top + 2-column" layout:
- The agent panel (CPU/MEM/DISK/LOAD vitals + sparklines + lifecycle) moves to
the top, full width, so a host's vitals lead the page.
- Monitors and Ansible sit side by side in a responsive 2-column grid
(auto-fit, stacks under ~420px), filling the width.
- The Docker per-host fragment moves below, full width.
Note: the vitals live in the host_agent fragment (loaded across the plugin
boundary) and uptime in the host-detail context, so a single literal top "strip"
mixing both isn't clean — the agent card on top is the faithful, contained
realization. UI-only.

Plugin UIs had no nav home (only dashboard widgets / typed URLs). Add an
optional get_nav() plugin export and surface it in the sidebar.
- plugin_manager: _PLUGIN_NAV registry + get_plugin_nav() getter + a tolerant
_collect_plugin_nav() (missing hook = fine; raising/malformed = logged &
skipped; idempotent per plugin so hot-reload re-runs cleanly). Collected in
both the startup load path and the hot-reload path.
- app.py: inject plugin_nav into the template context, filtered to enabled
plugins so a hot-disabled plugin's link can't linger before restart.
- base.html: render plugin links under the Infrastructure group, with the same
request.path active-state treatment as core links.
- docker/snmp/unifi/traefik: each exports get_nav() → its /plugins/<name>/ view.
- Tests: collector behavior (collect, missing hook, reload-replace, malformed
item, raising hook, sorted output).
With docker enabled, "Docker" now appears under Infrastructure → its fleet view.

The flat top bar was a set of ungrouped peers and gave plugin data no home.
Move to a persistent left sidebar with grouped sections, per the navigation
redesign (operator-chosen shell).
- base.html: top <nav> → left <aside class="sidebar"> + content column.
Groups: Overview (Dashboard, Status), Infrastructure (Hosts; plugin links
arrive in slice 2), Monitoring (Monitors, Alerts), Automation (Ansible),
Admin (Settings, Audit; admin-only). Brand on top, user/logout at the bottom.
- Active link highlighted by request.path prefix (aria-current).
- Responsive: sidebar slides off-canvas under 900px via a ☰ toggle + scrim
(inline class toggle, no new JS deps). Candle-glow preserved.
- Logged-out pages (login/setup) render without the sidebar (gated on
session.user_id), content area full-width and centered as before.
- Add tests/test_templates_parse.py: syntax-parses every steward template so a
broken tag fails the unit lane (only the login page renders there today).
Plugin nav links (Docker/SNMP/UniFi/Traefik) come next in slice 2 via a get_nav
hook. UI-only; no behavior/route changes.

Follow-up to the incident where an unwritable /data made Steward silently mint a
fresh ephemeral secret key on every boot, orphaning all encrypted secrets — only
discovered when an Ansible run failed. Make both failure modes loud and visible.
- config._resolve_secret_key: if a new key must be generated but can't be
persisted (no STEWARD_SECRET_KEY, unwritable /data), raise RuntimeError and
refuse to start, with an actionable fix (set STEWARD_SECRET_KEY, or make /data
writable by uid 1000). Also raises a clear error if an existing key file can't
be read. First-run on a writable volume still generates + persists normally.
- core.settings: detect secrets stored as ciphertext that won't decrypt with the
current key (scan_undecryptable_secrets at startup; _is_undecryptable helper).
Cached in memory; set_setting discards a key on a fresh write so the banner
clears without a restart.
- app.py: run the scan after migrate_plaintext_secrets, log a warning, and inject
undecryptable_secrets into the template context.
- base.html: admin banner naming which secrets to re-enter, each linked to its
settings tab.
- compose.deploy.yml: document the uid-1000 /data write requirement and the
STEWARD_SECRET_KEY option for multi-node Swarm.
- Tests: secret-key resolver (reuse existing file, generate when writable, raise
when unpersistable) and the undecryptable-secret detection helper.

The page-top chrome was inconsistent: most nested views used the breadcrumb
kicker + page-title pattern, but plugin sub-pages used ad-hoc "← back" links,
~11 pages stacked a breadcrumb AND a redundant ancestor back button, and two
(monitors/edit, hosts/uptime) had a back button but no breadcrumb. The
settings/plugin_detail page stacked all of it at once.
Unify on the breadcrumb-led model:
- settings/_tabs.html: drop the hardcoded "Settings" h1; the breadcrumb
("Settings › …") plus the tab strip is the header.
- settings/plugin_detail: drop the "← Plugins" back button.
- docker container_detail/swarm/disk + snmp/device: replace ad-hoc back links
with the standard crumbs() breadcrumb.
- host_agent, ansible/*, alerts/maintenance: remove redundant ancestor back
buttons (the breadcrumb's parent crumbs already link there); keep lateral
shortcuts (Inventory/Schedules/Browse/Targets/Groups/New).
- monitors/edit, hosts/uptime: add the missing breadcrumb, drop the back link.

Bounds Docker time-series growth (the main scaling concern). New
docker_metrics_hourly table + docker_006 migration; a plugin retention module
(docker.run_retention capability) rolls raw docker_metrics older than the raw
window into hourly averages (idempotent upsert), deletes the rolled raw rows,
then prunes stale rollups + lifecycle events. Core cleanup.py drives it each
hourly run via the capability (no plugin-model import), reading the three
retention windows fresh from settings so changes apply without restart (rule 25).
Settings → "Thresholds & Retention" gains a Docker retention card (raw /
rolled-up / events windows, working defaults 7/90/30 days). Unit tests cover the
hour-aligned cutoff/bucketing helpers; integration test exercises the real
rollup-average + prune across both windows.

Docker collection moves off the central single-socket scrape onto the host
agent, giving Docker a real per-host dimension. The Steward host now reports
its own containers like any other host, and same-named containers on different
hosts no longer collide.
- agent: stdlib UDS Docker client (AF_UNIX HTTP/1.1, Connection: close,
chunked-aware), collect_docker() ports the cpu%/mem math; sample["docker"]
added best-effort (silent-skip on absent/unreadable socket). AGENT_VERSION
1.2.0 → 1.3.0; optional docker_socket config key.
- ingest: host_agent ingest hands per-host container snapshots to the docker
plugin via a new "docker.persist_host_samples" capability (no hard import,
no-op when docker disabled), inside a SAVEPOINT so a docker failure never
sinks the host metrics. Resource names are host-scoped ("<host>/<name>").
- schema: docker_containers re-keyed (host_id, name); docker_metrics gains
host_id; docker_002 migration DROP+recreates (dev-only, rule 122).
- ui: Docker page + widgets grouped by host with host links; new per-host
Docker panel embedded on the Hosts hub (gated on docker enabled via a new
enabled_plugins template context). Replaces the SQLite-only strftime
bucketing with DB-agnostic Python bucketing.
- provisioning: install/provision playbooks add steward-agent to the docker
group (best-effort) so the agent can read the socket.
- removed central scrape: docker scheduler.py + scraper.py deleted; plugin.yaml
socket_path/scrape_interval_seconds/include_stopped dropped (plugin 2.0.0).
- tests: agent docker collector units (math, chunked decode, silent-skip,
sample shape, config) + integration (host-scoped schema + persistence).

Collapse the three former check types into a single core `Monitor` entity
with one management surface (/monitors), one result table (monitor_results),
and a single scheduled task. Every type can now watch a free-standing custom
destination (optional host_id) — not just a registered Host.
- models: Monitor + MonitorResult replace PingResult/DnsResult; Host loses its
ping/dns facet columns (now Monitor rows linked by host_id).
- checks: monitors/{ping,dns,http}.py pure probes + runner.run_monitor
dispatcher; one monitor_check scheduler with a per-monitor due-filter.
- status: single monitor_status_source replaces the three sources.
- UI: /monitors blueprint (type-aware add/edit/list/widget); host hub shows a
host's linked monitors + "add monitor for this host"; nav + widget registry
+ alert metric catalog rewired. http plugin folded into core and removed.
- migration 0022 merges the http branch, data-migrates host facets +
http_monitors + all three result histories, drops the old tables/columns.
Resolves the per-host ping/dns auto-attach issue (#275): monitors are now
explicit, never auto-added to every host.

Move the hardcoded warn/crit cutoffs into Settings -> Thresholds (DB-backed,
live, no restart). New thresholds.* keys + to_thresholds_cfg() + a
threshold_style(value, kind) jinja global that reads them; latency reuses the
existing ping good/warn keys, uptime is direction-aware (floors).
Replace the _macros metric_style/uptime_style macros (now removed) with the
global across Hosts-Overview, host_agent fleet + panel, Uptime/SLA widget, and
the ping page uptime column — all now honor the configured cutoffs. Uptime keeps
its green 'good' look when not degraded.

Operator chose a single canonical summary. Repurpose the status_overview
widget into 'Overview' (host count + monitor up/down/pending + Alerts link;
key kept so existing dashboards upgrade in place) and remove the redundant

now-unused PingResult/DnsResult imports (rule 22).

- Hosts-Overview: move the CPU sparkline inline next to the cpu % value it
represents (was floated far right on the name line, reading as unrelated).
- Host Agent history widget: caption the chart with the host it represents
(the panel title is generic) — links to the host hub.
- History widget: snap the y-axis to a stable 0..next-10%-band ceiling instead
of auto-scaling to the exact peak, so the 'zoom' no longer jumps each poll.

Address graphical issues raised from the dashboard screenshot:
- No more truncated host names. Hosts-Overview and Host-Agent-Resources put the
host name on its own line (full, wraps if needed) with its data grouped beneath
it; ping/dns (.ping-name) and uptime widget names wrap instead of ellipsis.
Prefer vertical overflow over cramming/truncating a row.
- History graph fills the panel: drop the fixed 0–100 y-axis ceiling (beginAtZero
+ 8% grace) so the lines use the vertical space instead of hugging the bottom;
axis labels still show real %.
- Container-query breakpoints: the widget body is now a query container, so
fragments restyle to their OWN panel width. Host-list widgets flow into 2 cols
≥520px and 3 cols ≥900px (.host-blocks) — use the width, remove vertical
deadspace — and collapse to one column when narrow. Mirrored into the share view.

Milestone 72 phase D — the dashboard view IS the edit surface (operator ask):
- /d/<id> renders the grid via Gridstack in STATIC mode — positioned exactly like
before, live HTMX widget bodies keep polling. An "Edit" button flips the same
grid interactive (grid.setStatic(false)) in place, so you drag/resize over real
data. "Done" flips it back. Layout autosaves on change.
- The widget picker is now a bottom drawer (position:fixed overlay) revealed by
body.dash-editing — so the dashboard width is identical entering/leaving edit.
- Add: POST returns a single grid item; JS inserts it + grid.makeWidget +
htmx.process so it loads live data. Remove: POST 204 + grid.removeWidget.
Per-panel drag handle + remove ✕ are in the DOM for editors, shown only while
editing.
- Gridstack loads for everyone (viewers get the static grid); edit wiring is
gated on can_edit. Mobile collapses to one column.
- Removed the separate /d/<id>/edit route + edit.html + _edit_panels.html
(rule 22). Dashboard-list Edit and new-dashboard create now deep-link
/d/<id>?edit=1 which opens edit mode on load.
Browser-only behaviour — CI can't exercise it; needs an operator visual check.

Milestone 72 phase C — bring the host-view graphs onto the dashboard:
- host_resource_history widget reworked into a real host-view chart: epoch-ms
linear axis (no Chart.js date adapter), themed like the host-detail charts,
maintainAspectRatio:false so it fills the resized panel, unique canvas per
widget instance (wid), and empty states ("pick a host" / "no metrics yet").
Was previously unusable — it had a broken time axis and no way to choose a host.
- Add a "host" param type: the edit form renders a live dropdown of hosts
(dashboard routes now pass the host list to the editor); the chosen host_id is
stored in config and fed to the widget.
- Hosts-overview widget gains a per-row CPU sparkline (last hour) via the shared
sparkline_svg helper — the host-view at-a-glance trend, on the main widget.
Charts/sparklines render only in the browser, so CI can't exercise them — needs
an operator visual check.

Milestone 72 phase B — Grafana-style drag-resize grid for dashboard widgets:
- DashboardWidget: replace `position` with a 12-col grid placement
(grid_x/grid_y/grid_w/grid_h). Migration 0021 backfills the old position
order into a 3-up grid (4 cols x 4 cells each) and drops position.
- View + share render a static CSS grid from x/y/w/h: fixed cell height
(h * 70px) with the body scrolling, so the arranged layout is what's shown;
collapses to a single column under 820px.
- Edit view: Gridstack.js 12.6.0 (vanilla, CDN, pinned) — drag the title bar
to move, drag a corner/edge to resize; every change autosaves to a new
/d/<id>/edit/layout endpoint. Replaces the SortableJS position reorder.
- add_widget appends at the bottom-left; remove no longer renumbers.
_get_widgets now orders by grid position (drives DOM + mobile fallback order).
Note: Gridstack drag-resize is browser-only, so CI can't exercise it — needs an
operator visual check of the edit experience.

Milestone 72 phase A (clarity wins, no schema change):
- Add shared metric_style() macro in _macros.html: colours a numeric metric
amber (>=warn) / red (>=crit) on the value ITSELF, not just the status dot.
Defaults 80/90 for percentage gauges; load /core uses warn 80 / crit 100.
Applied to CPU/mem/disk across host_agent panel + fleet widget + the unified
hosts-overview widget.
- Link every host reference to the host hub (/hosts/<id>) in ping, dns,
hosts-overview, host_agent fleet, and uptime widgets; status widget entries
link to their own detail_url. All guarded on session.user_id so the public
share view degrades to plain text (the bare href carries no share token).
- Fix truncation: title= tooltips on all names that ellipsis, plus a hover
underline affordance on the now-clickable ping-name links.

- Host agent panel (reporting state) gains a "Re-provision" collapsible (admin +
linked target + managed key): bootstrap user/password → provision.yml, which
reinstalls the steward account + managed key + agent. This is the missing path
after regenerating the managed key — Update alone can't fix a broken key.
- Remove the Ansible sections (run-playbook + target link) from the host EDIT
page — they were the stale free-text version and the wrong place. They live on
the host detail hub (dropdown + discovered variables). Edit page now links to
the host page; edit_host route simplified (no ansible fetch).

When a session has expired, require_role now bounces to /login?next=<path> and
sends the user back there after re-login.
- middleware: safe_next_url() (same-site relative path/query only; rejects
off-site, protocol-relative, javascript:, and the auth pages — no open
redirect). _login_redirect() builds the next param; for HTMX requests it uses
HX-Current-URL (the page, not the fragment) and HX-Redirect so the whole
browser navigates instead of swapping the login page into a fragment.
- login GET/POST carry `next` (hidden field), validated, used on success for
local + LDAP; OIDC stashes it in session across the IdP round-trip.
- login.html: hidden next field + next on the SSO link.
- tests for safe_next_url.

Run UX: when start_run throws before/around launch (e.g. ENOSPC creating the
temp dir — the box is out of disk), the run was marked "failed" with empty
output. Now the exception is broadcast + written to the run output/results so
the run view shows e.g. "[run error] OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on
device" instead of a blank failure.
Widget audit follow-ups (no broken links were found; these are consistency):
- host_resource_history widget now charts root (/) disk, consistent with the
host panel (was the opaque "disk worst").
- host_resources widget: tooltip on the health dot explaining it warns on the
worst mount while the number shows root.
- status_overview widget detail_url /status → /status/ (avoid redirect).
- Normalize ad-hoc widget empty-states to the shared .empty style (wording,
which distinguishes "configured" vs "data yet", preserved).

- New core "Hosts — Overview" widget (/hosts/overview/widget): one row per host
combining monitor status (ping dot + latency, uptime 24h) with the agent
glance (CPU / memory / disk root + stale flag), each row linking to the host
hub. Reads agent data from the generic PluginMetric table via a core-safe
_agent_overview_by_host helper (no host_agent import); freshness vs the
plugin's stale window. The granular Ping/DNS/Uptime/Agent widgets stay.
- Group the add-widget picker into Core monitors / Monitoring capabilities /
Integrations (a `group` field on every WIDGET_REGISTRY entry + section
headings in _edit_panels.html), matching the Settings → Plugins taxonomy.
- Fix the agent fleet widget rows to link to the host hub (/hosts/<id>) instead
of the old /plugins/host_agent/<id>/ page.

Extend the playbook metadata convention with a namespaced `# steward:<key>:`
comment block:
- steward:category — free-text grouping label, shown as a badge in the browse
list and on the run form.
- steward:confirm — true/yes/1/on marks a playbook destructive; the run form
then requires a confirmation tick (required checkbox in the shared vars
fragment) before it can launch.
sources.discover_playbook_meta() parses description + category + confirm (first
match per key; `# description:` still primary, `# steward:description:` alias).
discover_playbook_description() now delegates to it. The browse list reads
per-playbook meta to show category badges + descriptions; the run-form and
playbook-vars fragments render the badge + confirm gate.
Bundled playbooks tagged: docker_prune → category maintenance + confirm true;
provision/install/update → category host-agent.
Docs: docs/reference/playbook-authoring.md updated (keys now implemented) and a
quick reference added next to the code at steward/ansible/PLAYBOOK_CONVENTIONS.md.
Tests added for category/confirm/alias parsing.

Playbooks can ship a human description Steward reads and shows when one is
selected. Convention: a `# description: <text>` magic comment (Ansible rejects
unknown play keys, so a comment is the portable place — works for third-party
playbooks too); falls back to the first play's name:. sources
.discover_playbook_description().
Surfaced at the top of the shared _playbook_vars.html partial, which loads on
playbook selection in the host run form, schedules form, and browse run form.
All four bundled playbooks (provision/install/update/docker_prune) now carry a
description line. Unit tests added.

A fresh install had no prompt for general.public_base_url, so first-run agent
installs/share links silently used the request Host header. Add a "Steward URL"
field to the first-run /setup page (create-admin), pre-filled with the current
address, with help text. setup_post saves general.public_base_url and applies
it to app.config immediately (no restart). Editable later in Settings → General.

Stop making operators type playbook paths and guess extra-var names.
- Reusable infra: shared ansible/_playbook_vars.html (the discovered-variable
fields) + ansible/_playbook_options.html; two HTMX endpoints —
/ansible/playbook-options (a source's playbooks, optional ?selected for edit)
and /ansible/playbook-vars (a playbook's vars:/vars_prompt: as fill-in
fields). browse _run_form.html refactored to include the shared partial.
- Host "Run a playbook against this host": source dropdown → playbook dropdown
→ variable fields, all chained via HTMX. Handler reuses _parse_run_params so
var__/secret__ fields flow through extra_vars_map + the unpersisted
secret_vars channel.
- Schedules: playbook free-text+datalist → source-dependent dropdown; fixed the
extra-vars edit pre-fill to read extra_vars_map (stale list key after the
earlier JSON-extra-vars change).

Dev-only instance, no bookmarks — per family rule 22, fully remove old paths
instead of shimming them.
- Delete the /plugins/host_agent/ (index) and /plugins/host_agent/settings/
redirect routes; delete the now-dead host_list.html fleet template.
- Move the remaining management POST routes off /settings/ to /fleet/
(add-host, rotate-token, delete) — single canonical prefix.
- Repoint real callers to canonical URLs: dashboard widgets (host resources →
/hosts/, history → /plugins/host_agent/fleet/), the full-metrics page
breadcrumb + back link (→ the host hub), Settings→Ansible link, and the
agent panel's curl-install link.

Final phase of the host-IA unification (milestone 70).
- Settings → Plugins split into two tiers: "Monitoring capabilities"
(host_agent, http, snmp, docker — built-in host facets, surfaced via
Hosts/Status, on by default) and "Integrations" (traefik, unifi — external
systems, off until configured). Presentation only: a CAPABILITY_PLUGINS set
(overridable by plugin.yaml `kind:`) tags each plugin; module loading,
optional deps, and migrations are untouched.
- Drop the "default-enable a plugin" framing in the UI copy — capabilities are
described as built-in, not optional add-ons.
- Nav: remove the standalone "Uptime" item (folded into Hosts; still reachable
via the SLA button on the Hosts list).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Hosts list: new Agent column (latest CPU/mem read from the generic
PluginMetric table — no host_agent import) + an admin "Agent fleet" button.
- /plugins/host_agent/ (old fleet page) now redirects to /hosts/ (folded into
the hub; kept as a redirect so widgets/links don't 404).
- Agent management moved off the "settings" URL: the management page is now
/plugins/host_agent/fleet/ ("Agent fleet" — bulk provision/install/update +
registrations + curl install), reachable from the Hosts list. Old
/plugins/host_agent/settings/ redirects there. Per-host management lives on
the host detail page; this page is now explicitly the bulk/fleet view.
Milestone 70 phases 2-3. Phase 4 (plugins capability/integration split + nav
cleanup) next.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Make Hosts the front-and-center hub. A host now has a real detail page at
/hosts/<id> that pulls its facets into one view, instead of management being
scattered across a nav-less Host-Agents area and the edit form.
- hosts: new GET /hosts/<id> detail route + hosts/detail.html. Shows the
monitors summary (ping/DNS status + latency + uptime 24h/7d/30d), an Ansible
section (linked target, link/create, run-playbook), and an embedded Agent
panel. Hosts list name links here; ansible-link redirects here.
- host_agent: GET /plugins/host_agent/panel/<host_id> — a self-contained HTMX
fragment embedded into the core hub across the plugin boundary (core never
imports plugin models). Shows live agent metrics + Update/Rotate/Remove when
installed, or the provisioning path when not: inline "generate managed key"
warning, a prompt to link an Ansible target first, then Provision (bootstrap
password) / Install (managed key) tied to the host's target scope.
Part of milestone 70 (Hosts hub). Phase 2+ will enrich the list, redirect the
old fleet/settings pages, and re-taxonomize plugins into capabilities vs
integrations.

Provisioning review corrections + the matching frontend, plus breadcrumb
header integration.
- provision.yml: authorize the managed pubkey with a regexp match on the
' steward-managed' comment so rotating the key REPLACES the host's steward
key in place instead of stacking a second authorized entry. Hand-added keys
(other comments) are untouched.
- update.yml (new): refresh agent.py + restart only. Does NOT rotate the token
or rewrite /etc/steward-agent.conf — the host keeps its identity. Asserts the
agent is already installed and fails clearly otherwise.
- host_agent /update route: runs update.yml as the managed steward user (no
token minting). Token rotation stays a deliberate action.
- settings/ansible/generate-key honors a safe relative `next` redirect, so an
inline trigger elsewhere returns to its page.
- Host Agents settings: reworked into a clear lifecycle — an intro card that
explains it runs Ansible to deploy the agent (+ inline "generate managed key"
warning/trigger when none exists), then three labelled cards: 1 Provision,
2 Install/enroll, 3 Update. Each explains what it does.
- base.html: breadcrumb now renders as a kicker line directly above the page
title (moved below alerts, tightened margin) so nested and top-level views
share one consistent header.

When you click Run, Steward now parses the playbook and renders a field
for each declared variable instead of a blank extra-vars textarea. The
form loads on demand via HTMX (/ansible/run-form/<source>/<playbook>).
- sources.discover_playbook_variables: parse vars: defaults + vars_prompt:
(vars_prompt wins on name collision; non-scalar vars skipped; role/include
vars not traversed). Flags secret-looking names + vars_prompt private.
- Run-time values flow through a JSON extra-vars file (-e @file), which is
space/quote-safe — fixes a latent shlex-split bug in the old -e key=value
textarea path. executor.build_extra_vars_file (pure) + start_run merge.
- Secret-flagged fields are masked AND routed through an unpersisted
secret_vars channel (runner.trigger_run → start_run), so passwords entered
at run time never land in the DB / run history.
- Defaults shown as placeholders (not prefilled): an untouched field falls
through to the inventory/play default instead of overriding it.
- routes: run_form HTMX endpoint; _parse_run_params now returns
(params, secret_vars, err) and reads var__/secret__ fields. Schedules drop
secret vars (can't prompt unattended).
- templates: ansible/_run_form.html fragment; browse.html rewired to HTMX,
static JS run-form removed. Advanced section keeps limit/tags/check + a
free-form extra-vars escape hatch.
- tests: test_playbook_variables.py (discovery + extra-vars file).

Turn the agent-install playbook into a full provisioning + maintenance
path. Solves the bootstrap chicken-and-egg: first contact uses an
operator-supplied password (one run, never stored), which creates a
dedicated `steward` login account with NOPASSWD sudo + Steward's managed
public key. Every run thereafter connects as `steward` with the managed
key — fully unattended (scheduled prune, agent updates).
- core/crypto: generate_ssh_keypair() — ed25519, OpenSSH formats.
- settings: ansible.ssh_public_key (non-secret, displayed) + ansible.ssh_user
(default steward); to_ansible_cfg extended.
- settings UI + route: "Generate managed key" (private encrypted, public
shown to copy) + SSH-user field.
- executor: build_bootstrap() writes a 0600 vars file (-e @file) for the
per-run user/password — never argv, never DB, never logged; drops the
managed key when a bootstrap password is given; --user floor from the
global ssh_user when no override.
- runner.trigger_run: pass-through `connection` kwarg, deliberately NOT
persisted on AnsibleRun.params (password stays out of the DB).
- bundled/host_agent/provision.yml: create steward user + authorized_keys
+ /etc/sudoers.d/steward (visudo-validated) + agent install.
- host_agent: /provision route + "Provision a fresh host" card (bootstrap
user/password; injects pubkey + user + token as space-safe JSON hostvars).
- Dockerfile: add sshpass (Ansible shells out to it for password SSH).
- tests: keypair generation + build_bootstrap (secret stays off argv).

Closes#550 (all four):
- Cancellation: track live subprocesses; POST /ansible/runs/<id>/cancel
(operator) SIGTERMs then SIGKILLs after a grace; new 'cancelled' status
(+ migration 0019, ALTER TYPE in autocommit). Queued runs cancel cleanly
before launch. Cancel button on run detail.
- Concurrency: global semaphore (ansible.max_concurrent_runs, default 3,
Settings→Ansible) caps simultaneous runs; excess show 'queued' (new status)
until a slot frees. Semaphore bound lazily per running loop.
- Structured results: parse PLAY RECAP into per-host ok/changed/unreachable/
failed/skipped + capture failed-task lines, stored in new results JSON
column (migration 0020); rendered as a host-summary table on run detail.
Keeps live streaming (no json-callback swap).
- Retention: full output written to a persistent log artifact
(/data/ansible/runs/<id>.log, env-overridable) beyond the 1 MB DB cap and
across restarts; in-memory replay buffer bounded + GC'd after completion;
Download-log route. Boot reconciliation now also sweeps stale 'queued'.
Unit tests for recap parsing + cancel flagging. Status colors updated across
run list / detail / schedules.

Adds a breadcrumb trail to nested views for orientation. Mechanism: a
{% block breadcrumb %} slot in base.html (+ styling) and a shared crumbs()
macro in templates/_macros.html; each nested page fills the block with its
trail (root→current, last item is the current page). Pages without the block
render no bar, so top-level nav roots stay clean.
Applied to: Ansible (browse, schedules, playbook editor, run detail) +
inventory (targets/groups + detail), host_agent (fleet, host detail,
settings), hosts form, settings tabs (ansible/auth/notifications/plugins/
reports + plugin detail), dashboard (list, edit), and alerts (rule form,
maintenance + new). Dynamic labels (host/target/run/dashboard names) come
from the page context — no route changes. All 60 templates Jinja-compile.
Task #873.

The inventory CRUD UI (/ansible/inventory/targets + /groups) existed but was
unreachable from the main Ansible pages — only a buried text hint pointed to
it. Add an "Inventory" button to the Runs, Browse, and Schedules headers, and
"← Ansible" back-links on the inventory target/group pages, so the targeting
features (manual runs, schedules, Deploy-via-Ansible) are findable.

Adds create/edit/delete of playbooks from the UI (admin only), so a homelab
user without a git workflow can author automation in-app. A new always-present
writable local source "steward-local" (/data/ansible/playbooks, env-overridable,
created on first save) is editable alongside operator local-dir sources; the
bundled and git sources stay read-only (git is GitOps, clobbered on pull).
sources.py: write_playbook / delete_playbook (traversal-guarded, .yml/.yaml
only) + validate_playbook_yaml (YAML + play-list check) + is_editable_source.
routes.py: /playbooks/new, /edit, /save, /delete (admin). Browse gains a
"New playbook" button and per-playbook + view-page Edit/Delete for editable
sources. Plain textarea editor with save-time YAML validation. Unit tests for
write/delete/guard/validate.
Task #579 — completes milestone #37 (Ansible automation).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds cron-like recurring runs (the engine the maintenance-automation work
needs). New AnsibleSchedule model + migration 0018; a core ScheduledTask
(ansible_scheduled_runs, 60s) fires due schedules, each creating a
system-triggered AnsibleRun (triggered_by=None). Centralises the
resolve-inventory → create-run → launch flow in ansible/runner.trigger_run,
shared by the manual route (refactored to use it) and the scheduler.
Schedules UI under /ansible/schedules: create/edit/pause/delete/run-now,
with interval presets, scope targeting (all / group / target), extra-vars /
limit / tags / dry-run, and last-run status (resolved via last_run_id) +
next-run. Unit test for the due-check.
Task #549 (milestone #37).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a Kuma-style "is everything up?" surface that aggregates heterogeneous
monitor types via a status-source registry (steward/core/status.py): each
type registers an async source(db) -> [StatusEntry]. Core registers ping/DNS;
the http plugin registers its own from setup() so core never imports plugin
tables. Per entry: current up/down, last-30 heartbeat bar, uptime %
(24h/7d/30d), latest latency + response sparkline, and TLS expiry countdown
(HTTP). New /status page (live htmx refresh) + a status_overview dashboard
widget + nav link. Pure-function unit tests for registry + sparkline.
First deliverable of milestone #68 (task #866).
