Docker panel (#5276): problems first, then the 8 busiest running
containers by CPU; the other running and the stopped fold behind one
"+N more running · M stopped" line. Containers that are not swarm tasks
read the way the Docker page reads them: CI jobs as "CI: workflow · job",
buildx builders as "BuildKit builder · name".
Monitors card (#5277): the edit/delete icon buttons and the inline add
form are gone. Each row links to its monitor's page; "Add monitor" opens
the add form filed under this host, starting from its address, with the
host in its breadcrumbs and Cancel back to it.
Agent card (#5278): Full metrics stays in view; Update, Rotate token,
Unregister agent (was "Remove") and Re-provision sit under "Manage agent".

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 8548: '<th' also matched '<thead', and the certificate test's clock was
read before its certificates were built, so 10 days came out as 10.00…
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The widget names the busiest container in a verdict ("Busiest: tdarr on
VDNT-Docker03, 1.6 of 8 cores."), then a fixed-layout table (container,
host, CPU in cores, memory in bytes) with each figure's share drawn as
shading behind it: of the host's cores, and of the memory limit or the
host's memory.
The numbers were already rendered, but each row grew as wide as its longest
name. A grid item won't shrink below its content, so Gitea CI container
names pushed the figures out of view and the cell scrolled sideways. Names
now come from display_name(): a swarm task by its service (no slot number),
an Actions job container as "CI: <workflow> · <job>". They cut off with …
and show whole on hover.

A verdict line (services healthy · other containers running · failed in
24h), then "Needs a look": troubled services with why (crash-looping, N of
M running), since when and the last error, and troubled containers
(unhealthy, restarting, exited with an error, out of memory). Then "Failed
in the last 24h" by name, with how often, when and where. Then the healthy
rest one line each (name · hosts · replicas) in as many columns as the
widget is wide, collapsing after 40 to "+N more healthy".
Per-container CPU is gone from this widget: Busiest Containers owns it.

#5212 "Plain labels: no raw ids, scopes, metric keys or unexplained jargon",
batch 3:
- Disk page: each tile says what it holds. "Writable layers" becomes
"Container files" and Build cache says it is safe to clear. Shared is
"Shared with other images" with a tooltip, and "dangling" is gone.
Untagged images show by id instead of "<none>", a capped list says
"The 50 largest of N images", and each host shows "as of" its report.
- Traefik: an expired certificate reads "expired 12 days ago", not "-12
days" (cert_left). The Traffic empty state knows whether the access log
is on: off points to Settings → Plugins → Traefik; on says to check the
mounted log path.
- Moments use |ago with an exact UTC tooltip: UniFi last seen, alarms,
events, speed test and DPI; AI token last used.
- Settings: the Auth tab is "Authentication" like its breadcrumb, plugin
fields read "Metrics URL" not metrics_url (field_label), a source's pull
interval is "every 1h", and the last report time drops the ISO "T".

failing_services filtered on `(service_trouble(s) or 9) <= 2`; a crash loop
ranks 0, which is falsy, so the worst kind of trouble was left out. Test the

#5209 "Docker views: readable names, CPU/memory in cores and bytes, failures
listed with since-time" (milestone 477 "UI problems first").
- A swarm task reads as its service and slot ("codex_db · 1", or the node
for a global service), with the raw name in the title: Docker page, host
panel, busiest widget, container detail.
- CPU reads in cores (Docker's 100% = one core), toned by its share of the
host's CPUs from the agent's per-core series. Memory reads in bytes, against
a limit only when one is really set (Docker reports host RAM otherwise).
- Exit 137/143 without an OOM kill is a stop, not a failure: no
exited_nonzero, no crash-loop death, no "failed (24h)", dim exit code.
- "Failed (24h)" is a list (Docker page #failures, linked from the widget
and the tile): plain containers by their deaths, swarm services by Swarm's
failed tasks; a second manager's copy of a task death counts once.
- Failing swarm services lead Needs attention; services sort problems first
with since-times on the page, the widget and the Swarm page; nodes that
are down or drained sort first.
- Busiest widget orders by a 5-minute CPU average so the list holds still.
- Host panel: a table, problems first with what is wrong and since when;
replaced swarm tasks hidden and counted.
- Container detail: node hostname, I/O labelled "since start", Restarts
hidden for swarm tasks with a note on where task failures are.
- Widget names: "Docker — Services & failures", "Docker — Busiest containers".

Agent 1.11.0 sends finished_at (State.FinishedAt) and reads a stopped
container's logs once per stop: since its cursor if it was being read, or
its last 200 lines when first seen already crashed (non-zero exit, stopped
in the last 10 min). Cursors and finals are forgotten once a container is no
longer listed.
Ingest gives a container first seen already exited non-zero a die event, and
dates die/stop events by finished_at when the agent sends it.

- The status test imported the plugin's models after the app had mapped
them ("already defined"); it reads docker_host_status with SQL.
- The swarm-expiry count awaited inside a generator expression.
- The page test's since came from the module's NOW, so |ago said "5m 4s";
it is built at test time and the assertion checks the minutes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Agent: started_at comes from inspect's State.StartedAt (nanoseconds
trimmed; Docker's zero time is "never started"), not the list's Created,
so a restarted container's uptime counts from its restart.
- A rising restart_count between two snapshots emits a "restart" event
("restart #3", or "3 restarts, now #5"), said instead of a start; a
restart then a death gives both. A count that falls (recreated under the
same name) says nothing. The timeline draws it as ↻.
- Network and disk I/O count what the kernel calls physical: interfaces
not under /sys/devices/virtual/net (bridges, docker0, veth, vxlan, tun),
block devices with a device behind them (not dm, md, zram), so a byte is
not counted twice. Where /sys calls everything virtual (an agent in LXC)
the name-filtered set is kept rather than reporting no traffic.
- Agent tests updated for #5152's (status, detail, containers) and
(is_manager, topology) shapes; the no-Docker disk test now states the
case it was passing for by accident.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Docker page opens with a "Needs attention" card: every container
with something wrong, worst problem first — restarting, crash-looping,
unhealthy, OOM-killed, exited non-zero — each with what it does ("is
restarting and keeps dying · exit 1 · since 8m ago"), linked to its page.
It is ranked by the same code as the MCP tools: container_problems,
problem_since and the per-container ranking move from mcp_tools into
service.py (ranked_containers, needs_attention), and mcp_tools' _rows and
findings now read them from there.
Counts follow as stat tiles: needs attention, unhealthy, restarting (or
crash-looping), running, stopped, stale, services, hosts.
A container whose last report is older than the host agent's staleness
window (stale_after_seconds, 180 s by default) carries a Stale badge with
when it last reported, instead of a live-looking green dot.
The per-container CPU and memory history columns are gone from the
overview, and with them one history query per container per refresh; the
container's own page keeps its charts. With nothing left to range over,
the time-range control goes too, and the page now refreshes on the poll
interval. CPU and memory are graded by Settings → Thresholds rather than
50/80 and 70/90 written into the template.

#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.

#5013 "Overview findings for containers and Swarm services carry since=null"
- Container problems are dated from their own evidence: a crash or restart
loop from its first death in the hour, an OOM kill or error exit from the
death that ended it, a failing healthcheck from its last turn to unhealthy.
list_containers and get_container carry problem_since / problem_age_s.
- Swarm services carry trouble_since: a crash loop's first failure in the
hour, a short service's oldest troubled task in each failing slot, a
recovered service's first failure in 24h. list_swarm_services shows it.
- get_overview findings from the docker plugin now have since and age_s,
so they rank by how long they have stood.

Milestone 465 "Swarm task awareness". Fixes three defects from the live MCP
review #4973:
- #5008 "Swarm task history read as live state"
- #5009 "Crash-loop detection is blind to Swarm services"
- #5011 "Swarm task errors are not captured"
Agent and ingest (agent 1.8.0):
- A manager's agent now reports each service's newest tasks: slot, node,
desired and current state, Swarm's Err/Message, exit code and time.
- They are stored in docker_swarm_services.tasks_json (migration
docker_010_swarm_tasks).
Swarm view (pure):
- A task container is "replaced" when Swarm set its task's desired state off
`running`. Without the task on record, a newer or running task in the same
slot decides.
- Replaced containers are no longer replicas or crashes.
- Each service gets, from the task records:
- failures_1h and failures_24h (failed or rejected tasks);
- crash_looping (Settings → Thresholds count);
- last_error, in Swarm's own words.
MCP:
- New findings: swarm_service_crash_looping (critical) and swarm_task_failed
(warning, on a healthy service with a failure in 24h).
- Down and degraded findings name the last task error.
- list_swarm_services carries the failure fields.
- Container rows mark swarm_replaced and give a replaced task no problems.
Web:
- The containers page swarm cards and the Swarm topology page show crash
loops, recent failures and the last task error.
- The dashboard widget flags a crash loop, and its "failed (24h)" count no
longer counts a rolling update's killed task.

MCP-6 #4970 "Automation tools: playbooks, runs, schedules, alert actions".
Viewer: list_playbooks, get_playbook (secret defaults masked), list_inventory
(variable names only), list_ansible_runs, get_ansible_run (log tail + grep),
list_schedules, wait_for_run (polls, 120s cap).
Operator: run_playbook (check mode unless check=false; a steward:confirm
playbook applies only with confirmed=true; secret variables reach the run
but are never stored, audited or returned), cancel_ansible_run, and
create/update/delete_schedule (secrets refused, check by default).
Admin: set_alert_action, and the docker plugin's prune_docker, which
previews from the disk report unless check=false (Ansible's check mode
skips the prune commands, so a check run would show nothing).
Every write is audited as "<user> via MCP" with the token id; the audit
tool's user filter includes those rows. prune_extra_vars moves to the
docker service so the page and the tool share it.

MCP-5 of milestone 461 "MCP server: Steward as an LLM-inspectable,
LLM-operable hub". Contributed through each plugin's register_mcp_tools
hook, so they exist only while the plugin is enabled.
docker (viewer, read-only):
- list_containers: filter by host, status, compose project, or problem
(restarting, crash_looping, unhealthy, oom_killed, exited_nonzero);
problems sort first and each row names what is wrong.
- get_container: state, CPU/memory history across the raw/hourly seam,
lifecycle events. A unique part of a swarm task name is enough.
- list_swarm_services: replicas per node (agent-less placements as ghosts)
and the swarm's nodes.
- search_container_logs: text (% and _ literal), stream, range, context
lines, paging by a full-precision `before` cursor; over-long lines keep
both ends and say how much of the middle was cut.
- get_docker_disk_usage: bytes per host, reclaimable first.
- mcp_overview: failing containers and under-replicated swarm services
join get_overview.
host_agent: list_agents (reporting / stale / pending, version, OS), and an
overview finding for agents registered over 30 minutes ago that never
checked in.
Settings > Thresholds gains the TLS-expiry warn/crit days (were 14/3 in
code) and the crash-loop deaths-per-hour count (3), which get_overview
and the docker tools now read.

MCP-3 of milestone 461 "MCP server: Steward as an LLM-inspectable,
LLM-operable hub". The /mcp tools run outside Quart's request pipeline, so
the queries they share with the pages now live in plain functions that take
an open session:
- steward/hosts/service.py: uptime, status, monitors, agent metrics,
agent overview (stale threshold passed in, not read from current_app),
CPU sparks.
- plugins/docker/service.py: bucket, container_history, host_map,
list_containers, container_events, query_logs.
- steward/alerts/service.py: active_alerts (also used by core/reports),
list_rules, list_maintenance_windows.
- steward/monitors/service.py: monitor_rows (was routes._rows_data).
Routes are repointed and render the same data. One behavior fix rides
along: the container-log search now escapes % and _ so they match
literally instead of acting as LIKE wildcards.

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.

Ingest side of container logs. The host_agent ingest route extracts
sample["docker_logs"] as time-series batches (append every line, each carrying
its own Docker ts with recorded_at as fallback) and hands them to the docker
capability alongside the existing container/swarm/disk data — still under the
begin_nested SAVEPOINT so a logs failure can't sink host metrics.
- ingest.py: _persist_logs + pure _log_rows(batches, host_id) that shapes/filters
records (drops the _steward truncation marker, malformed + lineless records,
normalises unknown stream → stdout); persist_host_docker gains a logs= param
- routes.py: accumulate docker_log_batches, add to the guard + capability call
- unit test for _log_rows shaping/filtering; integration push→store→query test

M78 step 2. The /disk page surfaced reclaimable space + stopped counts but
said "prune deferred to a later milestone" — this wires the cleanup.
Adds POST /plugins/docker/disk/<host_id>/prune (admin only) that resolves
the host's linked AnsibleTarget → steward:target:<id> scope and fires the
bundled maintenance/docker_prune.yml through the ansible.run_playbook
capability (audited runner; the collection agent stays read-only). Mirrors
the host_agent update route. `target` ∈ {containers, images, system}:
- containers → docker container prune -f
- images → docker image prune -af (prune_all_images)
- system → docker system prune -f (conservative)
The disk() route now resolves each host group's linked target + capability
availability; disk.html renders three confirm-gated buttons per host, shown
only to admins when Ansible is available and the host has a linked target,
otherwise a clear "link a target" / "runner unavailable" hint (rules 24/26/27).
Tests: the prune_target→extra_vars mapping (the -af-only-for-images rule) is
extracted to a pure helper and unit-tested; disk_prune added to the module
smoke; disk.html covered by the existing template-parse test.

The container list and dashboard widget listed each swarm task as its own cryptic
row (svc.1.<taskid>) and could only show tasks on nodes that run a Steward agent.
Make both views service-centric and cluster-complete.
- swarm_view.build_swarm_services(): model-free builder that merges real container
rows (collected local-per-node, so host_id = the node a task runs on) with the
managers' placement (DockerSwarmService.placement_json). Where placement counts
exceed the local rows on a node — i.e. nodes with no agent — it synthesizes
"ghost" replicas so the replica list matches the cluster. Non-swarm containers
pass through grouped by host.
- /rows + rows.html: a Swarm-services panel collapses each service to one block,
every replica a host chip (status + cpu); ghosts render dashed "N · no agent".
Non-swarm/compose containers keep the per-host table below. New Services stat.
- /widget + widget.html: same service collapse with host chips; standalone
containers stay grouped by host.
- Unit tests for the builder (real+ghost merge, full coverage, partial agent-less,
synthesized service, down state).
No migration — node_id, placement_json and swarm-node hostnames are already stored.

CI never renders docker templates through the app (the unit-lane app uses
testing=True, which skips plugin loading), so a Jinja syntax error could ship
green. Add unit tests that parse every docker template, smoke-import the routes
module + confirm the #942 view functions exist, and cover the _human_bytes /
_human_uptime presentation helpers. Closes the render-regression gap the new UI

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.

Wires the agent's enriched + swarm payloads through the docker.persist_host_
samples capability:
* Swarm topology — persist sample["swarm"] into docker_swarm_services /
docker_swarm_nodes (upsert + prune stale, host-scoped so two managers don't
clobber). Migration docker_005 adds services.placement_json for the
task→node placement the agent now reports.
* Lifecycle events — _derive_events (pure, unit-tested) diffs the newest
snapshot against stored per-container state: start / stop / die (non-zero
exit) / oom / health_change → docker_events rows. Skipped on a host's first
snapshot so the baseline doesn't emit a start per existing container.
* Alerts — record restart_count (always) and is_healthy (1.0/0.0, only when a
HEALTHCHECK exists) alongside cpu/mem, under host-scoped resource names;
METRIC_CATALOG[docker] gains restart_count + is_healthy so they're alertable.
host_agent ingest captures the newest sample's swarm object and threads it to
the capability (now persist_host_docker(session, host, snapshots, swarm=None));
invoked when containers OR swarm are present, under the same SAVEPOINT. Unit
tests cover the event-diff matrix; integration tests cover event derivation
across two snapshots and swarm topology round-trip (incl. placement).
