Follow-up to the backup-refresh throttle/dedupe, cutting the cost of the
remote pulls that do still happen.
* restic stats now runs in --mode raw-data (restic_check.sh). The default
restore-size mode walks every snapshot's tree to sum logical file sizes —
the slowest restic op — just to fill a size readout. raw-data reads the
index only and reports the repository's actual deduplicated on-disk size,
which is exactly what the dashboard already labels "deduplicated,
encrypted". raw-data omits total_file_count, so the per-location card now
shows that location's snapshot count (already loaded client-side, and more
useful for a backup repo) instead of a file count.
* engineLocationStats now shares the same per-refresh memoiser as
engineSnapshotsJson (engine_dispatch.sh). Both the locations and dashboard
generators call it per location, so repo stats went from two restic calls
per location per refresh to one. Factored the cache into _engineCachedPull.
* SSH connection reuse for SFTP locations (backup_ssh.sh): ControlMaster=auto
with a self-reaping ControlPersist master, so the several restic
subprocesses a refresh/backup spawns against one location share a single
authenticated connection instead of a fresh handshake each — the dominant
per-call cost on a high-latency link. Toggle via CFG_BACKUP_SSH_MULTIPLEX.

The "Refreshing backup data..." step on every WebUI update fired one
`restic stats` (restore-size mode — the slowest restic op) plus ~4
identical unfiltered `restic snapshots --json` pulls per enabled
location (dashboard, snapshots, app-status, migrate each pulled their
own), all over a fresh SSH connection for remote repos, on every pass
with no throttle — the slow, "frozen"-looking line users hit on poor
links.
Two fixes:
1. Dedupe. engineSnapshotsJson transparently memoises the first
unfiltered whole-repo pull per location to a shared cache dir
(LP_SNAP_CACHE_DIR, set by webui_updater around the chain), so the
four generators reuse one restic call instead of four. Filtered and
failed/empty pulls always fall through to a live call.
2. Throttle. Backups and location changes already regenerate this data
live when they happen, so the routine pass is only a drift catch-up.
Split the cheap local-only generators (engines/schema/passwords —
no remote I/O) out to always run, and gate the remote pull behind
CFG_BACKUP_DASHBOARD_REFRESH_INTERVAL (minutes, default 30, 0 =
every update). A completed backup touches a dirty marker that forces
the next pass to pull; WEBUI_UPDATER_FORCE still forces a full
refresh.
Net: N locations x 5 remote restic calls every update -> 1 call per
location, only when something actually changed.

Config sections (Basic, Mail, DNS, Firewall, …) rendered as a bare name. Add a
small data-driven icon before each: config files now carry a `# @icon <emoji>`
directive in their header, the config generator surfaces it as the subcategory's
`icon`, and the config editor prepends it to the section <h3> (covers every
render path — regular/master/toggle/domains/catalogs/whitelist — since they all
drop displaySubcategory straight into the heading).
- webui_generate_configs.sh: parse `# @icon` (first 10 lines) → emit "icon".
- config-manager.js: prepend subcategoryData.icon to the section title.
- configs/**: added an @icon to all 23 base config files (backup/general/network/
security/webui). The live install's config files get the same directive + a
configs.json regen so existing installs show the icons too.

Introduce scripts/source/paths.sh as the canonical path resolver for three
independently-relocatable roots:
LP_SYSTEM_DIR manager-owned control plane (configs/logs/install/db/ssl/ssh/migrate)
LP_CONTAINERS_DIR container-user-owned live app data
LP_BACKUPS_DIR container-user-owned backup repos (own mount-able)
Roots come from the environment when set (install bakes them; CLI/app inherit
from init.sh), else default to /libreportal-*. A transitional compat default
keeps EXISTING installs (legacy single /docker tree, by config marker) on /docker
until a deliberate reinstall, so deploying this never strands a running box.
- init.sh derives the same vars inline (self-contained for the bare /root/init.sh
reinstall case); paths.sh mirrors it for the standalone task/check processors,
which now self-locate their scripts dir and source it.
- Replace functional /docker literals with the derived vars across runtime,
install, backup, crontab, crowdsec/restic, headscale, and reinstall paths;
clean the inert '== /docker/containers/*' guard fallbacks to the variable form.
- backend: CONTAINERS_DIR now from LP_CONTAINERS_DIR (compose env, filled at
generation via a new CONTAINERS_DIR_TAG), legacy-safe default for un-recreated
containers.
- backup default path falls back to the backups root; exclude paths.sh from the
sourced-file arrays (bootstrap file, sourced explicitly).
The CLI-wrapper heredoc + root helpers still reference /docker; those get baked
in phase 3. No layout/ownership change yet (phase 2).

Expose the existing location_ssh.sh key store through the backup CLI:
'backup location ssh-key-set|ssh-key-generate|ssh-key-public|ssh-key-delete <idx>'
(the WebUI runs these as tasks). The locations generator now emits
ssh_key_exists + ssh_public_key (public key only — the private key never
leaves the per-location ssh.key file), so the editor can show the key state.
Also fix the stale SSH_AUTH label (~/.ssh/id_rsa -> managed per-location key).

Adds a logical-dump path so apps with a database can be backed up with zero
downtime and full consistency, instead of stopping the container.
- backup_db.sh: dump each declared DB live (mysqldump --single-transaction /
pg_dump / sqlite3 .backup), exclude the raw data dir from the snapshot, and
replay the dump on restore (pre-start rehydrate for sqlite, post-start load
for server engines).
- Databases are declared via a 'libreportal.backup.db' compose label so the
metadata travels with the app in the snapshot.
- New 'auto' strategy (now the default): live where a DB is dumpable or the app
is marked live-safe, stop-snapshot-start otherwise. Explicit stop/pause/live
remain as overrides.
- restic/borg/kopia adapters honour an exclude list on the live path.
- Manifest records the resolved per-app strategy and dumped databases.

Automatic path mode hardcoded /docker/backups/<id>, baked into the Path Mode
dropdown label. Add a CFG_BACKUP_DEFAULT_PATH option in the Backup Engine
config ("Default Backup Location", default /docker/backups) and have
backupLocationResolvedPath build the auto path from it (<base>/<id>, trailing
slash tolerated). Defaults to the old path, so existing auto locations are
unchanged.
Path Mode's option is now just "Automatic" (no inline path); its tooltip
points at the Default Backup Location config option instead.

The backup engine is an implementation detail — LibrePortal picks a sensible
default and handles it — so it doesn't belong next to Name/Type on the
Connection tab. Add ENGINE to LOC_ADVANCED_SUFFIXES and mark it **ADVANCED**
in the location.config template + seed so it's metadata-driven.
Since the engine select now lives in the Advanced tab while SSH-auth and
path-mode stay on Connection, refreshInlineTypeFields re-applies the dynamic
behaviors (engine filtering, SSH/path visibility) against the shared
.task-details scope rather than a single panel.
Also fixed the live per-location engine label (restic -> Restic) which now
surfaces in the dropdown via the generator-emitted options.

The config generator only scanned flat per-category files, so the dynamic
CFG_BACKUP_LOC_N_* keys carried no titles/descriptions/options — the Locations
editor had to hardcode that metadata in backup-page.js. Add a pass that
descends into configs/backup/locations/<n>/location.config and emits each key
(value/title/description/options) into the config map, plus an "advanced"
flag parsed from a **ADVANCED** token in the field comment (stripped from the
user-facing description).
These keys use subcategory "backup_locations", which isn't in any category's
subcategory_order, so the generic /config page ignores them — only the custom
Locations editor consumes them. URI, SSH port, and append-only are marked
advanced. Verified: configs.json stays valid JSON and /config subcategories
are unchanged.

- Display the restic engine as "Restic" to match BorgBackup/Kopia. The
lowercase name lived in scripts/backup/engines/restic.json (drives the
location-row engine pill, per-location engine select, and engine modal),
the hardcoded per-location dropdown options, the engine-list fallback, and
the config-option metadata. All set to "Restic".
- In each location's Engine dropdown, float the system-default engine
(CFG_BACKUP_ENGINE) to the top and tag it "(default)", mirroring the
retention-preset pattern.
Repo config metadata is the install template (add-only reconciliation), so
the live /docker/configs/backup/backup_engine label was updated in place too
for the global Configuration-tab dropdown on this install.

Drive the section title from the filename instead of the JS display-override
added earlier: rename configs/backup/backup_advanced -> backup_engine, update
the category SUBCATEGORY_ORDER and the file's header comment, and revert the
formatSubcategoryName override. The CFG_BACKUP_* keys are unchanged.

Application backups were driven by one crontab entry per app, each offset by
id * CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL minutes. That minute offset is written
straight into cron's 0-59 minute field, so past ~20 apps it overflowed into
an invalid entry that silently never fired, and the fixed spacing could not
serialize backups that ran longer than the gap.
Replace it with a single daily entry (`libreportal backup scheduled`) that
enqueues a backup task per enabled app. The existing systemd task processor
drains them serially — no minute overflow, real serialization, and backups
are now visible/cancellable in the Tasks UI. Per-app enable is read from
CFG_<APP>_BACKUP at schedule time instead of being mirrored into crontab.
Removes the stagger machinery (timing/setup/check/remove scripts), the
now-unused cron_jobs table + insert, and the CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL
config knob and its WebUI field.
