`libreportal app generate <name>` (and the menu's "g. Generate App" entry)
was broken three independent ways and incompatible with the per-app
architecture the project actually uses now:
1. Copies from $install_containers_dir/template/ which doesn't exist —
the only template/ in the tree was in scripts/unused/OLD_CONTAINERS/
and was never installed into the live tree. cp -r would just fail.
2. Every sed call used BSD/macOS syntax `sed -i '' -e …`. On Linux
(every distro this targets) the empty '' becomes a positional file
argument, so the substitutions never ran. 8 calls, all broken.
3. Even if it had run, the produced skeleton would have been a
pre-modular-tools / pre-per-port-subdomain app shape: no tools/,
no scripts/ subdir, HOST_NAME=test in the .config. Every active
containers/<app>/ today carries the modular layout the rest of the
framework expects.
Plus the recent cleanups (the prompt loop fix in 9ffc8e4, the per-port
subdomain refactor in 2e4f420) had been peeling pieces off it without
the root question — does the function still belong? — getting asked.
Delete the whole surface:
- scripts/app/app_generate.sh (157 lines, the function body)
- scripts/unused/OLD_CONTAINERS/template/ (the never-installed source
files appGenerate would have copied — stale enough to still carry
HOST_NAME=test, CFG_<X>_HOST_NAME, and 248 lines of compose template)
- menu entry "g. Generate App" + its dispatch in menu_main.sh
- "generate" case branch in cli_app_commands.sh
- `libreportal app generate` line in cli_app_header.sh
- The corresponding entries auto-drop from files_app.sh +
function_manifest.sh via regen.
New apps are added the way the catalog already grew — by hand-crafting
containers/<app>/{<app>.sh, <app>.config, docker-compose.yml,
tools/<app>.tools.json, scripts/<app>_*.sh}. Copying an existing app's
folder + renaming is the closest thing to a "generator" and it's a one-
command operation.
Net: -556 lines, no behaviour lost (the function never worked).

Each app now carries everything under containers/<app>/: Tools-tab actions in
tools/ (declaration <app>.tools.json + function <app>_<tool_id>.sh) and logic
helpers in scripts/ (e.g. <app>_auth.sh). The container scan live-sources every
.sh under the app (maxdepth 3, prunes only resources/) and webui_tools.sh
auto-merges the .tools.json, so an app is a true drop-in — no central edit, no
array regen.
- Empty the central webui_tools.sh heredoc; all 34 tools across 11 apps now
come from per-app declarations (verified byte-identical to the old output).
- Retire the orphaned mattermost tool scripts to scripts/unused (there is no
containers/mattermost; its install fn already lived in unused).
- Update the dispatch comment/error path, the auth-adapter doc, and
DEVELOPMENT.md to the new convention.
- Regenerate static arrays (files_app.sh no longer lists app/containers/*).
