#5212 "Plain labels: no raw ids, scopes, metric keys or unexplained jargon",
batch 2:
- A run records where it came from: AnsibleRun.origin ("schedule", "alert"
or "mcp") and origin_id, set by the scheduler, Run now, alert actions and
the MCP tools. Migration 0031 backfills past runs from alert events,
schedules' last runs, and MCP audit entries.
- The runs list has a Started by column: "schedule nightly", "alert rule
nas down", "alice via MCP" or "alice", linked where there is a page.
The raw scope tooltip is gone.
- Run detail: no run id in the subtitle or body, Started by in words, and
the host summary lists failed and unreachable hosts first. The live
output only follows new lines while the reader is at the bottom, and
when the run finishes the page reloads once so the badge and summary
are final.
- list_ansible_runs and get_ansible_run report origin and origin_id.

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

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

#5210 "Problems first, with since-time, across every list" (milestone 477),
first batch.
- Alerts: the Active list reads firing, no data, acknowledged, pending, the
longest-running first, and re-polls itself. An acknowledged alert says how
long it has been breaching (from the alert's events; acknowledging moves
last_transition_at) and, apart from that, who acknowledged it and when.
Rules show what each is doing now; disabled rules sort last. The current
value reads the latest-value table (#5208) instead of plugin_metrics.
- Monitors: a down monitor says "Down 12m · connection refused" in the list.
- Hosts: sorted down, agent gone quiet, pending, healthy. The agent column
shows "—" for a missing reading (was 0%) and a Stale badge with its age.
agent_metrics_by_host is gone; the list reads agent_overview_by_host.
- Schedules: failing first (failed or interrupted run, or a firing that could
not start one), then running, then the rest, paused last; status badge
from the shared states.
- Maintenance windows: active (ending soonest), then upcoming (starting
soonest), with expired folded away; each says when it ends/starts/ended.

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

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

Runs read "update.yml on web-1" (run_title over the scope label, beside
describe_scope) on the runs list, the run page's title and breadcrumb, and
the run-started panel. The list shows started |ago (full time on hover),
|duration (counting "so far" while a run is going) and a dry-run tag.
Run statuses join STATES, so the list and the run page use status_badge:
queued dim, running info (blue, so work in progress doesn't read as a
problem), success ok "Succeeded", failed crit, interrupted warn, cancelled
dim. run_started.html leaves its hard-coded colours for tokens; the run
page's facts move to the .kv list and its failures to var(--red). Template
hex colours: 54 -> 47.
Also fixes#5124's sidebar count, which CI run 8389 failed on: the stylesheet
guard allows no weight above 500, and .nav-count asked for 600.

#5099 "A name containing a quote runs script when an admin clicks Delete".
Inline handlers like onclick="return confirm('Delete {{ rule.name }}?')" are
HTML-decoded before the JavaScript is parsed, so autoescaping did not stop a
name such as x');fetch(…);// from running.
- Every prompt (22 handlers, plus the docker prune and token revoke ones)
is now data-confirm="…", read through dataset by one submit listener in
base.html; nothing rendered is parsed as JavaScript.
- The remaining inline handlers take integers only (|int), and the time
range buttons pass this.dataset.range.
- tests/test_inline_handlers.py fails on any {{ }} in an inline handler that
is not |int, with a self-test; tests/_templates.py is the one template
walker the template guards now share.

#5092 "Tokens". base.html's inline palette was its own: white text on the
gold button (1.81:1), a red at 3.26:1 on a card, a warning yellow at hue
42 beside the gold accent at 46, a lavender page title, serif labels at
13px and weights up to 700.
- static/theme.css is design system 6's generated sheet (FabledSword + the
Steward accent). static/steward.css is base.html's stylesheet moved out,
with :root now aliases onto those tokens (--bg, --text-muted, --green…)
so every template keeps rendering; it states no colour of its own.
- Status text colours are Steward overrides recorded in the design system
(tokens 182-184): success #5FB87A, warning #E08A3C, error #EC7A6C. The
house -fg mixes read "up" as grey hint text (dE 8.2) and warning as the
accent (dE 11.5); these are >= 4.5:1 on page, card, hover and their own
15-25% tints. --orange is now the midpoint of warning and error.
- Primary button and active range button: dark text on gold (7.82:1).
Danger button on the house destructive fill. Badges and alerts take the
-fg colour on a tint; the gold badge uses --fs-accent-fg.
- Type: Inter body, Fraunces only for page titles and h1/h2, JetBrains
Mono for code; section and widget titles become the tiny caps label in
the body face; weights capped at 500.
- Removed: the lavender title and share-view gradient, #606080, and the
undefined --card-bg, --accent-faint, --accent-bg, --bg-alt, --border-low
and --row-alt (now real tokens); the dead settings/index.html.
- Guards (tests/test_style_tokens.py): every var(--x) used is defined;
steward.css states no colour or weight over 500; hex colours in
templates may only go down (ceiling 75, from 81 before this change),
each with a self-test that it can fail.

#5031 "Forged-request protection: SameSite cookie, per-session CSRF token

logged-in browser POST to Steward with the session cookie attached.
- steward/auth/csrf.py: a per-session token, checked in one before_request
for every POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE (header X-CSRF-Token or form field
csrf_token, constant-time compare). The bearer-authenticated host-agent
ingest is exempt; /mcp never reaches Quart.
- Every POST form renders {{ csrf_field() }}; base.html carries the token
in a meta tag and adds it to every HTMX request; the dashboard's fetch()
calls send it.
- The session cookie is SameSite=Lax; login issues a fresh token.
- PUBLIC_BASE_URL is now loaded from Settings at startup (it was only set
when Settings → General was saved).
- tests/test_csrf.py: refusal, acceptance, rotation, the ingest exemption,
and a guard that every POST form in the templates carries the field.

#5014 "Ansible run scope is shown as a raw id"
- inventory_gen.describe_scope / scope_labels turn "steward:target:<uuid>"
into "target web-1", "steward:group:<uuid>" into "group Docker Swarm",
and a deleted one into "target abcdef01 (deleted)".
- MCP run and schedule rows carry scope_label beside the stored scope; the
ansible.run.started audit detail records it too.
- The web run page and schedules table show the name, with the stored
scope as the tooltip.

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.

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.

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.
Scribe #900.

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).
Scribe #895.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).

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.

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.

- dry-run checkbox -> --check --diff
- executor.py: pure build_ansible_command(playbook, inventory, params); start_run

- models/ansible.py + migration 0013: nullable params JSON column
- routes.py: create_run parses + validates (extra-var lines need '='), stores
params on the run, passes to the executor
- browse.html run form: Extra vars / Limit / Tags / Dry-run fields
- run_detail.html: shows the params used
- tests/test_ansible_command.py: unit coverage of the builder; integration test

Foundation for the Ansible automation milestone (#37) — makes the existing
manual playbook runner actually executable and the schema automation-ready.
- pyproject: [ansible] extra (full ansible package, batteries-included, pinned)
- Dockerfile: pip install .[ansible]; add openssh-client for remote runs
- models/ansible.py + migration 0012: AnsibleRun.triggered_by now nullable so
automated (alert/schedule) runs need no human actor
- ansible/routes.py + run_detail.html: show 'Triggered by' (username or 'system')
- CI: integration lane installs .[dev,ansible]; new tests/integration/
test_ansible_foundation.py runs a real connection:local playbook end-to-end,
asserts success+output, and round-trips a NULL-triggered run
No extra-vars/limit/credentials/scheduling here — those are their own #37 tasks.

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