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 SNMP plugin ships in the image but logged "pysnmp not installed — SNMP
polling disabled" on every poll, so polling never worked. Two coupled defects:
1. The Dockerfile installed only `.[ansible]`, so the `snmp` extra (pysnmp)
was never bundled even though the plugin is first-party and shipped.
2. poller.py used the synchronous pysnmp HLAPI (`next(getCmd(...))`), which
pysnmp-lextudio 6.x removed — it's asyncio-only now — so even with the dep
present, polling would have thrown and silently returned nothing. The 5.x
line that still has the sync API isn't safe on the image's Python 3.13.
Fix:
- Dockerfile: install `.[ansible,snmp]`.
- poller.py: `poll_device_sync` → `async def poll_device` on the asyncio HLAPI,
with a dual-version import (pysnmp 7.x `pysnmp.hlapi.v3arch.asyncio`/`get_cmd`
+ async `UdpTransportTarget.create`; pysnmp-lextudio 6.2.x
`pysnmp.hlapi.asyncio`/`getCmd` + direct `UdpTransportTarget`) so a dependency
bump can't silently re-break it.
- scheduler.py: await poll_device directly; drop the run_in_executor wrapper
and the now-unused asyncio import.
- Add tests/plugins/snmp/test_poller.py covering the version→mpModel mapping,
that the poller is a coroutine, and the graceful no-pysnmp path.
Note: CI confirms import/load and the no-pysnmp path, but has no SNMP target —
live polling against real devices is verified after deploy.

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.

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

Container list now sub-groups each host's containers by compose project (or
swarm service) with a small subheading, preserving the running-first order;
hosts with no such labels render flat as before. The dashboard status widget
links each container to its detail page and surfaces enriched state inline —
health dot (healthy/unhealthy), restart count, and last non-zero exit code for
stopped containers. Completes the #942 UI surface.

Two new read-only sub-pages, linked from the Docker index header only when the
data exists (non-swarm / Docker-less installs aren't offered empty pages):
- /plugins/docker/swarm — services with replica health (running/desired,
colour-coded green/amber/red), Swarm nodes (role/availability/status, leader
badge), and task→node placement with node ids resolved to hostnames. Grouped
by reporting manager host. Empty state explains manager-only collection.
- /plugins/docker/disk — per-host reclaimable space, image/layer/container/
volume/build-cache sizes, stopped-container count, and a per-image table
(size, shared, ref count, reclaimable badge). Notes prune actions are deferred.

status/health badge, uptime, CPU/mem, restart count, last exit code (+OOM),
net + block I/O (humanised), image/compose/swarm-service/node/ports, a
range-toggled CPU/mem history graph (HTMX fragment reusing the time-range
selector), and a lifecycle timeline rendered from docker_events (glyph+colour

Container names in the main list and the per-host hub panel now link to it.

Backend for the image/disk panel (milestone 77 #942). Agent gains
collect_disk_usage() — one /system/df call (gated on containers existing, so
Docker-less hosts pay nothing), surfacing reclaimable bytes (image size held by
unreferenced images), layers/containers/volumes/build-cache sizes, and the top
50 images by size. Emitted as sample["docker_disk"]; host_agent ingest tracks
the newest sample's copy and hands it to the docker capability as a 5th arg.
New current-state tables docker_disk_usage (one row/host) + docker_images
(per-host image rows), docker_007 migration; ingest upserts the summary and
replaces the image set per host (stale images pruned). Unit tests for the df
parsing/reclaimable math + build_sample gating; integration test for
persistence + image-set replacement.

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).

Adds collect_swarm(socket_path) to the host agent. Self-detects a Swarm
manager via /info (Swarm.ControlAvailable) — workers and non-swarm daemons
return None and never touch the manager-only endpoints (one cheap /info call,
no 503s). On a manager it queries /services, /tasks, /nodes and emits
sample["swarm"] = {services, nodes}:
* services roll desired-vs-running replicas up from the task list (replica
health isn't on the service object), handle replicated + global mode, strip
the @sha256 image digest, and carry cross-node task→node placement.
* nodes normalise role / availability / status + the manager leader flag.
build_sample omits the swarm key entirely off managers, same silent contract
as collect_docker. Unit tests cover manager detection, replica roll-up +
placement (replicated & global), node normalisation, worker silent-skip, and
build_sample wiring.

Adds the milestone-77 storage that doesn't fit on the per-container row:
* docker_events — lifecycle (start/stop/die/oom/health_change), to be
derived by diffing consecutive host snapshots; host-scoped, indexed for
timeline lookups (host_id, container_name, at) and retention pruning (at).
* docker_swarm_services / docker_swarm_nodes — manager-reported Swarm
topology (desired-vs-running replicas, node role/availability/status).
Migration docker_004 extends the docker branch (down_revision docker_003);
purely additive, no DROP+recreate. event/mode/role are plain strings (no
CHECK whitelist), matching how docker_containers models status. Integration
guard asserts the three new host-scoped tables exist.

First slice of milestone 77 (Docker monitoring depth). Surfaces real per-container
stats beyond basic state, all read-only on the existing push model.
- agent (→1.4.0): collect_docker now inspects each container (health, restart
count, exit code, OOM) and reads net + block I/O from the stats payload; pulls
compose project + swarm service/task/node from container labels. Per-container
inspect+stats calls run over a small bounded ThreadPool so the ~1s-per-stats
blocking doesn't stretch the sample on a busy host.
- schema (docker_003): additive columns on docker_containers — health, exit_code,
oom_killed, compose_project, service_name, task_id, node_id, and BigInteger
net/blk byte counters.
- ingest: persists the enrichment + restart_count (.get keeps older agents working).
- ui: Docker page rows now show health badge, uptime ("up 3d 4h"), restart count,
exit code (+OOM) for stopped containers, and compose/service grouping label.
- tests: agent helpers (grouping, inspect fields, net/IO sum) + collect_docker
assembly incl. inspect; integration asserts enrichment round-trips.

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.

The agent already collects + ingests net throughput, disk I/O, and temps;

- 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.

Restore the host_agent fleet-glance widget to one horizontal row per host
(name left, metric cells + sparklines right) instead of the multi-column

The agent reports every few seconds, so multi-hour history series were hundreds–
thousands of points — a dense, noisy line (esp. CPU). Bucket-average server-side
to ~120 points (keeps the shape, drops the noise) for both the history-graph
widget and the host-detail charts. Also fix the chart tooltip title showing the
raw epoch-ms (e.g. 1,781,720,471,459) — format it as HH:MM.

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.

Operator ask: show the graphs next to their fields in the fleet widget, like the
host page's AGENT panel. Each row now renders cpu/mem/disk/load as a value with a
trend sparkline beneath it (1h window), instead of bare numbers.
- _fleet_rows fetches a per-host recent series (cpu/mem/load host-level, disk from
the root mount) in one 1h query and attaches a sparkline per metric to each row.
- widget_table.html lays out a metric cell (label + threshold-coloured value +
sparkline) per field, mirroring panel.html. Threshold colour is computed in the
loop and passed into the cell macro (keeps Jinja macro scope clean).

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.

New maintenance/system_update.yml: cross-distro OS package upgrade (apt +
dnf/yum) with two run-form flags:
- restart_services: restart every service that needs it after the upgrade
(Debian via needrestart -r a, installed if missing; RHEL via
needs-restarting -s → systemctl try-restart).
- reboot_if_required: reboot the host only when a reboot is actually pending
(Debian /var/run/reboot-required; RHEL needs-restarting -r). Never reboots
otherwise.
Tagged steward:category=maintenance and steward:confirm=true (significant /
reboot-capable), so it shows in the run UI with the confirm gate and both flags
as fill-in fields. No code changes — auto-discovered from the builtin source.

- 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.

When ansible.ssh_private_key can't be decrypted (app secret key changed),
decrypt_secret returns the ciphertext unchanged; the executor was writing that
enc:v1: blob as the SSH key file → cryptic "Load key ...: error in libcrypto"
→ Permission denied. Now:
- build_credentials skips a still-encrypted key value (never writes ciphertext
as a key file).
- start_run broadcasts a plain-language run error: "The managed SSH key could
not be decrypted (the app secret key changed). Regenerate it in Settings →
Ansible and re-provision the host(s)."
The run still fails (no usable key), but the reason is now obvious instead of a
libcrypto error. Operator remedy: regenerate the managed key + re-provision.

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).

Bring the dashboard in line with the unified host IA + improved displays.
- 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.

A self-contained guide (docs/reference/playbook-authoring.md) to the contract
between a playbook and Steward's run UI — the `# description:` comment,
vars/vars_prompt → fill-in fields, secret naming, hosts: all targeting,
managed credentials, and idempotency. Includes a "what Steward reads" summary
table, the metadata/extensibility note (only `# description:` today; reserved
`# steward:<key>:` namespace for future keys), and an annotated example.
Meant to be fed to another session authoring Steward-friendly playbooks.

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.

- Each at-a-glance metric (CPU, Memory, Disk /, Load) now shows a 6h sparkline
(reused core.status.sparkline_svg + a recent-series query; disk uses the root
mount sub-resource) so trend/consistency is visible, not just the instant.
- Load is now normalized: "Load /core" = 1m load ÷ CPU cores as % (100% = run
queue matches capacity), comparable across different hardware. Cores derived
from the per-core CPU metrics already collected — no agent change. Raw load
in the tooltip.
- Added a "Pressure 10s" line: PSI cpu/mem/io (some, avg10), the
hardware-independent saturation signal already collected by the agent.

The "Disk (worst)" number was opaque at a glance. Show the root filesystem (/)
usage instead — what people actually care about — on the host panel and the
dashboard widget. "Worst" is kept only for the widget's health dot (so a full
/var or /data still warns) and on the full-metrics page (per-mount + worst
trend). Added hover tooltips defining CPU / Memory / Disk / Load.

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.

The assertion failed ("Pass steward_url/token/pubkey") because those were
injected as inventory HOST vars, but the playbooks declared them in the play
`vars:` block — and play vars OUTRANK inventory host vars, so the empty
defaults won and the injected values never reached the play.
- Pass globals (steward_url, steward_pubkey, steward_user, agent_interval) as
extra-vars via the JSON -e @file (highest precedence, space-safe). Keep only
the per-host steward_token as an inventory host var.
- provision.yml / install.yml: drop steward_token from `vars:` so the host var
isn't shadowed; assertions use `| default('')` for the un-defaulted token.
This was the next layer under the inventory-format fix — first the inventory
wouldn't parse, now the injected vars actually apply.

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).

A failed provision looked successful in two ways:
1. The host panel showed the agent as deployed (metrics + Update/Rotate/Remove)
because provision/deploy mint the registration row BEFORE the playbook runs
and the panel keyed "installed" on that row. Now gated on the agent actually
checking in (reg.last_seen_at). Three states: reporting (metrics + lifecycle),
pending (token minted but no check-in → "no metrics yet, deploy may be
running/failed" banner + retry + Clear pending registration), and none
(install path).
2. The run reported success though nothing ran — ansible-playbook exits 0 on
"no hosts matched"/empty inventory. The executor now treats an empty PLAY
RECAP (returncode 0 but no hosts executed) as failed, with a clear failure
note. Non-zero exits and recap failed/unreachable were already caught.

generate_inventory() emits Ansible's dynamic --list shape (all.hosts is a
LIST, vars under _meta) — valid only as an executable inventory script's
stdout. We were writing it to a static file and passing -i, so Ansible's yaml
plugin rejected it ("Invalid 'hosts' entry for 'all' group, requires a
dictionary, found ...list...") and fell back to implicit localhost → "no hosts
matched". Affected every steward:* scope run; surfaced on the first real
provision.
- New inventory_to_yaml(inv): convert the --list dict → a valid static YAML
inventory (all.hosts dict keyed by host, groups under all.children, group
vars preserved, injected per-host vars like steward_token retained).
- Wire it into runner.trigger_run, host_agent deploy + provision.
- executor writes the file as inventory.yml so the yaml plugin's extension
check reliably claims it.
- generate_inventory unchanged (still the --list dict); conversion happens at
write time. Unit tests added.

The "could not decrypt a stored secret" warning was generic, so an operator
couldn't tell which of the six secret settings was encrypted under an old key.
Thread the setting key through _decode → decrypt_secret(context=...) so the log
now reads e.g. "Could not decrypt stored secret smtp.password (wrong/rotated
key — re-enter it)". Pure diagnostic; decrypt behaviour unchanged.

fetch_scope_targets() runs a SELECT that autobegins the session transaction
(SQLAlchemy 2.0), so the following `async with db.begin()` raised
"A transaction is already begun on this Session" → 500 on both
/plugins/host_agent/deploy and /provision.
Mint registrations directly into the autobegun transaction, build the
inventory while the ORM objects are still live, then await db.commit().
Escaped CI because unit tests use a mock db_sessionmaker; no integration
test exercises these routes (follow-up noted in Scribe issue #884).
