Move the WebUI-updater settings out of general_terminal into their own
advanced webui-category file (webui_logs precedent): new
configs/webui/webui_updater holds CFG_UPDATER_SCAN_INTERVAL and the
migrated CFG_HOTFIX_AUTO, listed in webui/.category.
The move only reaches existing installs if the config convergence
machinery works, and three pieces of it silently didn't:
- checkConfigFilesMissingFiles walked a stale hardcoded category list
('general features network' — features doesn't exist; webui/backup/
security never healed). Derive the categories from the template tree
instead, and heal .category metadata too: copy it when absent and
merge missing SUBCATEGORY_ORDER entries when present, so healed files
actually appear in the WebUI Config editor. core_categories removed.
- Option reconciliation never touched ANY nested config file: configs_dir
carries a trailing slash, so rel stripping missed ('configs//'), the
template lookup failed, and reconcileConfigFile early-returned for
every file. Strip the slash before matching.
- reconcileConfigFile's AUTO_DELETE=false branch read a never-populated
live_line array, losing the dropped keys it promised to keep. Populate
it alongside live_value.
Also exclude *.bak from config sourcing (reconciliation writes <file>.bak
next to live configs — now that it runs, sourcing backups would resurrect
deleted keys), and add 'libreportal config check' as a non-interactive
front door to the converge pass (was only reachable via install flows and
the interactive menu).

Organise the system footprint outside /docker:
- All LibrePortal executables now live together in /usr/local/lib/libreportal/
(root:root): the 7 root helpers AND the CLI wrapper. /usr/local/bin/libreportal
becomes a symlink onto $PATH. run_privileged._runRootHelper, init.sh
(initRootHelpers + scoped-sudoers Cmnd_Alias + command setup) all point there.
The wrapper is now root-owned too (manager can't tamper with its entrypoint).
- Fix a real bug: rootless sysctl settings were written to /etc/sysctl/99-custom.conf,
a dir does NOT read, so net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start /
kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone never persisted across reboot. Moved to
/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-rootless.conf (the existing
reload now actually applies them). Consistent libreportal* naming.
- Drop dead fqdn_file=/root/libreportal-fqdn.txt global (never used).
- Add FOOTPRINT.md: a manifest of every file LibrePortal places outside /docker
(doubles as an uninstall checklist).
