The 31 containers/<app>/<app>.sh files each defined install<App>() with
the SAME 10-step sequence — ~4,000 lines of duplicated boilerplate.
Replaces all that with one generic driver + hook surface.
scripts/app/install/app_install.sh:
installApp <slug> [config_variables]
— Dispatches on $<slug> (c/u/s/r/i) the same way the per-app .sh
files did. Same convention; dockerInstallApp's existing
`declare $app=i` callsite needs no change.
— Runs the standard sequence: dockerConfigSetupToContainer →
dockerComposeSetupFile → optional .env copy → fixPermissions →
dockerComposeUpdateAndStartApp → standard post-install steps
(appUpdateSpecifics, setupHeadscale, databaseInstallApp,
webuiContainerSetup, monitoring registration) → final message.
— Hooks (all declare-f-gated, silent no-op when absent):
<slug>_install_pre / _post_setup / _post_compose / _post_start
<slug>_install_message_data (echoes extra args for menu)
<slug>_install_post
<slug>_uninstall_pre / _post
<slug>_stop_post
<slug>_restart_post
Hooks live in containers/<app>/tools/<app>_tools.sh (auto-sourced
per the modular-per-app-tools convention).
function_install_app.sh:
When no install<App>() function exists, fall through to
`installApp <app_name>` instead of erroring. So an app with no .sh
at all becomes a zero-byte addition — drop in <app>.config +
docker-compose.yml + <app>.svg, done.
containers/linkding/linkding.sh:
Deleted (canary). Linkding's body was 100% standard sequence;
fallback handles it identically. Smoke-tested with stubbed helpers
— dispatcher fires, generic runs full flow, monitoring integration
+ final-message hook plumbing all intact.
Wave B (next): delete the .sh for every other 'pure-boilerplate' app
(~15 candidates per the survey). Wave C: extract custom logic from
the 7 fat apps into hooks before deleting their .sh.

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/*).

dockerInstallApp built the installer name by upper-casing only the first
letter of the slug (libreportal -> installLibreportal), which can't match
camelCase installers like installLibrePortal. After the EasyDocker ->
LibrePortal rename this broke `libreportal` installs with
"installLibreportal: command not found".
If the naive name isn't a defined function, resolve it case-insensitively
against the function table (compgen -A function), and fail with a clear
message if nothing matches. Works for any compound brand/app name.
