The Migrate tab carried two walls of explanation text — a 3-line hint
under the h2 ("Pulls a snapshot taken on another host…") and an even
longer empty-state paragraph ("Either no other LibrePortal has backed
up to a location this host can see, or this is the only host using its
locations…"). Both spelled out diagnosis the user can infer from the
empty list itself, and the tone didn't match the rest of the backup
page (cards elsewhere have a short title + a 4-6 word hint, with any
long explanation as a hover title attribute).
Three changes:
1. h2 down to "Cross-host migrate" with a small ℹ️ carrying the full
explanation as a title= tooltip — matches the existing tooltip
pattern in the Locations form (BACKUP_RETENTION_PRESET_META).
The short subtitle "Restore an app from another LibrePortal" stays
as backup-card-hint, mirroring "Per-app status / Latest backup per
app on this host" elsewhere on the page.
2. The empty state is now the standard `<div class="backup-empty-state">`
container (same shape Locations + Snapshots use), one trimmed line
("No backups from other hosts visible in any enabled location.
Add a shared backup location on both hosts to enable cross-host
migrate.") instead of two paragraphs.
3. Added an "Open Locations" CTA button inside the empty state — the
#1 next-step for a user staring at this empty list is to add a
shared location, which lives one tab over. New data-action
"go-to-locations" wired through the existing event-delegation
handler in backup-page.js calling switchTab('locations').
The renderMigrate JS still toggles #backup-migrate-empty.hidden — the
wrapper id is unchanged, only its inner markup tightened. No
behavioural change beyond the CTA + tab switch.

Phase 1 of the migration-system refresh. Surfaces Phase 0's kernel
(libreportal restore migrate ...) as a WebUI flow so users don't have
to drop to the CLI to pull an app from a peer's backups.
backend / data generator:
scripts/webui/data/generators/backup/webui_backup_migrate.sh
Walks every enabled backup location, lists every (other_host, app)
pair with snapshot count + latest id/date, and emits a single
destination summary block (installed apps, running apps, disk free)
so the frontend can compute collisions and warnings without per-row
API round-trips. Filters out our own hostname — we don't migrate to
ourselves. Output: data/backup/generated/migrate.json.
Hooked into the standard webuiLibrePortalUpdate refresh pipeline,
so 'libreportal regen webui' (and the periodic task-processor poll)
keep it fresh on their own.
frontend:
- New 'Migrate' sidebar tab on /backup, sits between Locations and
Configuration. Path-based URL: /backup/migrate.
- Per-source-host cards listing every available app, with snapshot
count + relative-time hint, collision dot when the app is already
installed here, and per-app + per-host migrate buttons.
- Confirm modal with two checkboxes matching the kernel's defaults:
[✓] Back up the destination's existing copy first (pre-migrate
backup; auto-disabled when there's nothing to back up)
[✓] Rewrite host-bound URLs to this host (URL rewrite
— uncheck only to keep source hostnames)
On confirm, runs 'libreportal restore migrate app/system …' via the
task system; opt-out checkboxes append --no-pre-backup / --keep-urls
only when the user un-ticks, matching the kernel's default-on flags.
- Empty state when no other hosts have visible backups, explaining
the shared-backup-location prerequisite.
The CLI dispatcher hooks (Phase 0) wire restore migrate app/system to
migrateApplyApp/migrateApplySystem, so the WebUI gets pre-backup safety,
URL rewrite, and structured progress (when --json-progress is set; not
needed here yet — the task system's log tail is enough for v1).

- Add .backup-system-card { margin-top: 20px } — the card stands alone below the
two-column cards row (which has no bottom margin), so it was butting against it.
- Add a server-stack icon to the card header (matches the nebula stroke-icon style).
- DEVELOPMENT.md: document the dashboard "System config" card + its last-backup
status (tag system=config → `system` in the dashboard JSON), the CLI/auto paths,
and that the libreportal app is excluded from the per-app grid.

Make the system config a tracked backup, not just action buttons:
- engine: resticSystemSnapshotsJson (tag system=config) + engineSystemSnapshotsJson
dispatcher — query the system snapshots the way per-app status is queried.
- webui_backup_dashboard.sh: emit a "system": { latest_snapshot, latest_time }
object (latest system snapshot on the primary location), and exclude the
libreportal WebUI app from the per-app grid (it's intentionally not backed up, so
it no longer shows a perpetual "No backup yet" tile).
- backup dashboard card: a status line (dot + "Last backed up <relative>" / "No
backup yet"), populated in renderDashboard from d.system — mirrors the app tiles.
Verified: shell + JS parse; dashboard content assembles to valid JSON with the
system key; engine query defined + dispatched; frontend reads d.system into the
#backup-system-status element.

Add a "System config" card to the backup dashboard with two actions wired through
the task processor (same path as "Backup all apps"):
- "Back up now" -> libreportal backup system
- "Restore…" -> libreportal restore system (confirm dialog explains it lands
in a staging folder and never overwrites live config)
Card copy explains why it matters (the backup-location creds otherwise live only on
the box). Click handlers + runBackupSystem/confirmRestoreSystem added; JS parses,
data-actions match handlers, commands match the CLI subcommands.

Drop the Export button from the config-backup warning banner — it's now just the alert + dismiss (x). On the Configuration tab the top-right primary action becomes an 'Export' dropdown (first item: Repository Passwords, reusing the existing export-passwords action) so more export types can be added later. Other tabs keep Backup all apps / Add location. Menu opens from the trigger and closes on outside click, item click, or tab switch.
