Three small bugs in the legacy git-update flow that all hung off the
same never-set variable:
1. backup_install_dir was referenced in 4 files (reset_git_backup,
install_git_backup, use_git_backup, config_git_check) but DEFINED
nowhere — never has been, in any branch or tag. Resolved to "", so
"$backup_install_dir/$backupFolder" became "/backup_<ts>" (filesystem
root, perm denied). Add it to libreportalDerivePaths beside the other
roots, point it at $backup_dir/install (a sibling of restic's per-
location subdirs at $backup_dir/<idx>), and add it to initFolders so
it exists on first install.
2. gitCleanInstallBackups' find expression was
find ... -mindepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.zip' -o -type d ! -name '*.zip' -exec rm -rf {} +
`-o` binds looser than the implicit -a, so the -exec only applied to
the second clause. That meant: every non-.zip DIR anywhere under the
tree got deleted; every non-.zip FILE got matched and ignored. Even
once $backup_install_dir resolved correctly the cleanup would've
wrecked unrelated dirs.
Collapsed to `-mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 ! -name '*.zip' -exec rm -rf {} +`
— direct children of $backup_install_dir, kill everything that isn't
a zip, let -rf take care of the dirs. Synthetic-tree smoke test
confirms only the .zip files survive.
3. use_git_backup.sh had a typo'd doubled var:
copyFolders "$backup_install_dir$backup_install_dir/$backup_file_without_zip/" ...
Reduced to the single $backup_install_dir/$backup_file_without_zip/.
All three only fire in the manual-update path (libreportal update apply
under git/local install mode); the install-blocking path is unaffected.

A manager-run 'update apply' refreshes code/apps/WebUI but CANNOT rewrite the
root-owned footprint (helpers/wrapper/uninstall/unit/sudoers) — that immutability
is the de-sudo boundary. Previously a release that changed those would silently
leave them stale. Make it explicit:
- init.sh: footprint_version=1 constant, baked at install into
/usr/local/lib/libreportal/.footprint_version (root:root 0644) by initRootHelpers.
Bump it whenever a root component changes.
- make_release.sh: publishes footprint_version in latest.json.
- fetch.sh: lpInstalledFootprintVersion (marker) + lpReleaseLatestFootprint (manifest).
- check_update.sh: 'update apply' REFUSES when the release's footprint_version
exceeds the installed one, directing to a root re-install (which fetches +
re-bakes everything atomically). No half-applied updates.
- webui_system_update.sh: badge sets footprint_update_needed + clears can_update so
the WebUI won't offer a one-click apply for a footprint-bumping release.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: the bump rule + the footprint exception explained.
Verified: manifest carries footprint_version; drift decision correct both ways
(no marker/older -> needs re-install; equal -> no drift).

The git-era recovery commands now do the right thing in release mode instead of
attempting a clone:
- gitReset (libreportal reset / update reset) and runReinstall (CLI/system reset,
missing-files recovery): a release branch re-fetches the verified tarball via
lpFetchRelease, then refreshes /root/init.sh + ownership.
- the CLI wrapper's clone_and_install (libreportal reset): sources fetch.sh and
re-fetches the release; falls back to directing the user to the install.sh
bootstrap if the helper isn't present.
git/local behaviour unchanged. Wrapper still bakes cleanly (no placeholders left).
Phases A–D (release build, bootstrap installer, fetch abstraction, release-aware
install + update + recovery) are complete and locally verified. Remaining: phase E
(host install.sh + channels + tarballs on get.libreportal.org) and a real fresh
install on a throwaway box.

Make the WebUI updater work off release versions, not git commits, in release mode
(git/local paths untouched):
- webui_system_update.sh: a release branch resolves latest_version from the channel
manifest (lpReleaseLatestVersion), computes update_available via lpVersionGt vs
the local VERSION, reuses the same throttle + the same update_status.json schema
(source="release"); reuses last-known latest when throttled so the badge
doesn't flicker.
- check_update.sh webuiRunUpdate: a release branch version-compares and, if newer,
lpFetchRelease (download + checksum-verify) the new tarball + dockerInstallApp
redeploy + regen. No config-backup dance — lpFetchRelease replaces only the
install tree; configs/logs are in the separate system tree.
Verified against a local server: latest-version read + the no-update / update-
available decision (0.2.0==0.2.0 no; 0.3.0>0.2.0 yes). Remaining: route the
reset/reinstall recovery paths through the release fetch.

The scoped sudoers grants the manager (root) and (dockerinstall) but NOT
(itself), so the many 'sudo -u $sudo_user_name <cmd>' calls (crontab,
git/update, reinstall, swapfile, …) failed with 'a password is required'
once per CLI command. runAsManager runs the command plainly when already
the manager (the runtime case) and only sudo -u's when root (install
time), so it's correct in both contexts and needs no sudoers self-grant.

The git-update backup helpers operate on the manager-owned $backup_install_dir:
use_git_backup unzip + config_git_check find -> runInstallOp; install_git_backup
standalone find -> runInstallOp (drop the nested -exec sudo rm), and its
cd && find | xargs rm pipeline drops its sudos (manager owns the dir). The
many 'sudo -u $sudo_user_name git/rm/zip' calls stay (already least-privilege).

FIX: dockerCommandRun rooted path is 'sudo $command' (unquoted word-split),
so 'docker ps --format "{{.Names}}"' was passing the format with LITERAL
quotes -> docker emitted '<name>' and the downstream grep never matched
(broken in rooted too). Switch all docker invocations to runFileOp, which
preserves args via "$@" in both modes (and runs as dockerinstall against
the rootless socket). Fixed monitoring.sh, dashy, tags_processor_network_mode.
Convert: jitsimeet (rm/wget/unzip/mv/sed/tee/gen-passwords on /docker ->
runFileOp/runFileWrite), authelia (config sed/mkdir/chmod/chown/secrets tee
-> runFileOp/runFileWrite; docker exec -> runFileOp docker, preserving
--password), reset_git (cp->/root runSystem, install-dir chown runInstallOp;
kept sudo -u manager). check_update/update_git_check need no change (all
sudo -u manager git, already least-privilege).

Propagate the ✓ Success / ✗ Error / ! Notice / ❯ Question glyphs (from markers.sh) through the rest of the pipeline: swap the inlined helpers in init.sh and generate_arrays.sh, and replace raw echo -e "${RED}ERROR:${NC}" calls with the isX helpers in config_check_missing.sh, check_success.sh, initilize_files.sh, and reset_git.sh.

Surface when LibrePortal is behind upstream and let users update from the
WebUI, reusing the proven git-update path instead of reinventing it.
Detection (host): webuiSystemUpdateCheck writes
frontend/data/system/update_status.json from a throttled git fetch +
behind-count + VERSION compare, off the existing per-minute
`webui generate system` cron. A new /VERSION file is the canonical version.
Display (frontend): update-notifier.js/.css render a global topbar badge
(every page) and a dashboard banner (prominent when behind, subtle "up to
date" with a manual check otherwise), plus a details panel.
Actions go through the task pipeline:
- `libreportal update apply` -> webuiRunUpdate (non-interactive: guards,
forced check, gitPerformUpdate, then dockerInstallApp libreportal)
- `libreportal update check` -> forced recheck
gitFolderResetAndBackup's body is extracted into gitPerformUpdate (no exit)
so the WebUI path can reuse it; the interactive CLI flow is unchanged.
Detection JSON verified against the repo (up-to-date and behind cases).
webuiRunUpdate's re-clone + redeploy still needs validation on a live host.
The latest-version source is git for now and is the single swap point for
get.libreportal.org later — the JSON contract and frontend stay unchanged.
