Four fixes that make the auto-updater a trustworthy background system:
* CFG_UPDATER_WINDOW (default 06:00-08:00 host time, right after the
05:00 backup cron; HH:MM-HH:MM wraps midnight, 'always' = any time).
Gates only the enqueue — scans keep running all day, so the Updates
page stays current and pending updates visibly wait for the window.
Malformed values fail closed and are rejected by the WebUI validator.
* "Check now" actually checks: an explicit `updater check` sets
UPDATER_REGISTRY_FORCE=1. The flag existed but nothing ever set it,
so the button silently reused the 6h digest cache and could not find
a build the user knew had shipped. Force also overrides interval 0,
which now means "manual-only" as documented in the roadmap.
* Registry stamp moved from /tmp to <system>/logs: the task processor
runs under PrivateTmp, so daemon and CLI each kept a separate 6h
clock and the daemon's reset on every service restart.
* A failed automatic attempt is no longer invisible: the scan emits
auto_attempted_digest (the one-shot no-retry stamp), and when it
matches the available build the UI stops promising an install that
will never come — per-app detail explains, the fleet row gets an
"auto failed" chip, and the Overview board counts it as needing you.
Also corrects the CFG_TIMEZONE label: it sets the containers' TZ only;
scheduled tasks follow the host clock (timedatectl), and the old
"Timezone for scheduled tasks" wording promised a knob that never
existed. The window + auto_window display state plainly WHEN updates
land, answering "how does the user know when the next update happens".

Adds the decision half of the app updater. Detection (P2) and the
snapshot-first apply/revert (P3) were already real, but nothing ever
pressed the button — every update waited for a click.
CFG_<APP>_UPDATE_TYPE=auto|manual per app, default auto (33 templates)
CFG_UPDATER_AUTO=true|false master switch, default true
updaterAppPolicy resolves the two the way backupResolveStrategy already
resolves backup strategy: the global switch can only make things more
manual. updaterApplyAuto runs at the end of `updater check` and enqueues
the ordinary updater_apply task for each auto app that has an update —
never applies inline, so an automatic update is the same code path, task
log, History entry and Roll back button as a manual one.
Safety: each attempt stamps its target digest under generated/auto/, so a
build that fails is rolled back and then left alone rather than retried on
every scan; in-flight updater tasks are skipped so scans can't stack.
Tracked end to end: updates.json carries each app's resolved update_type,
History entries carry trigger=manual|auto. The WebUI says whether updates
install themselves, chips only the apps that opted out, labels automatic
history, and — since an auto app's pending update needs no decision — keeps
it off the Overview board's "Needs action" view.
Also fixes artifactApplyAuto enqueueing without --detach: it runs inside
the single-threaded task processor's own poll, so following the new task in
the foreground waits for a task that cannot start until it returns.

webuiUpdaterScan now tells the truth instead of hardcoding update_available=false.
Per app it resolves three facts (see roadmap §2): the running RepoDigest (one
`docker inspect` of the anchor image), the display version (OCI label →
versioned tag → channel·shortdigest), and — throttled — the registry's current
index digest for the channel tag (`docker buildx imagetools inspect`, the same
identity as RepoDigest, verified exact). update_available = the two digests
differ. Emits type (versioned|rolling), channel, current/available digests +
versions, and a services[] array (every image line, anchor flagged).
- Registry lookups throttled separately from the scan: CFG_UPDATER_REGISTRY_
INTERVAL (min, default 360; 0 = local-only), own /tmp stamp, reuse of the
prior available_digest between windows so the app list still refreshes every
scan. UPDATER_REGISTRY_FORCE=1 forces a live pull (the Check-now button).
Registry failure (offline/rate-limited) = "unknown", never a false "changed".
- Digest-compare fully detects rolling apps' new builds; for versioned apps it
catches rebuilds of the pinned tag (newer-version enumeration is a later
step) — honest per type, and versioned apps are user-picked via P1b anyway.
- Fixes a P1b regression: updaterPrimaryImage now strips the trailing version
sentinel comment (`s/ #.*//`) via _updaterCleanImageRef — without this the
anchor ref (and the live CVE scanner's image arg) carried the comment.
- JSON built with jq for safe escaping; jq-less fallback keeps output valid.
Verified via a simulated 2-app install: navidrome → "0.62.0" (OCI label) +
detected update; rolling app → channel·shortdigest + update; throttled re-run
reuses the prior digest; all output valid JSON.

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.

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).
