Build the read side of the unified distribution primitive from
docs/roadmap/updates-and-distribution.md: one team-signed catalog
(index.json) on the same channel as latest.json, listing type-tagged
artifact envelopes. A hotfix is the first artifact type; apps/themes/
components are future envelope rows through the SAME pipe — the
marketplace seam is just the `type` + `payload.kind` fields.
Phase 1 is fetch + verify + parse only (NO mutation; the snapshot →
ops → rollback → History apply verb is Phase 2):
- Factor `lpVerifyMinisig` out of `lpFetchRelease` (scripts/source/
fetch.sh) — one trust anchor (the root-owned footprint key) now
shared by releases and the index; refactor `lpFetchRelease` to use
it (behaviour-preserving, still fail-closed).
- scripts/source/artifacts.sh: `lpFetchIndex` — download →
verify-before-parse → `valid_until` freshness (anti-withholding) →
`index_serial` monotonic high-water (anti-rollback, TUF-lite) → emit
verified JSON. Trust core is jq-free; parsing accessors prefer jq
with a grep fallback.
- `libreportal artifact index` (scripts/cli/commands/artifact/) —
read-only front door that fetches, verifies and lists. Runs directly
like `updater check` (no task; no mutation).
- Regenerate the source arrays + lazy-load function manifest for the
new files.
Doc: promote the format from vision to spec (§8) — 3 layers
(INDEX/ENVELOPE/PIPELINE), the bounded declarative op vocabulary (no
run-script, ever), the apply pipeline mapped onto existing functions,
the marketplace seam, and resolutions for all five open forks.
Self-tested 12/12: trust core fails closed (real key + no minisign →
refuse), happy path, stale-refused, rollback-refused, signature-refused,
jq + grep parsing.

The honest-checkSuccess + masking fixes immediately surfaced a real masked
failure in error_report.log: updateDockerSudoPassword (run every system scan
from start_scan.sh) does 'sudo passwd $sudo_user_name', but Model A's scoped
sudoers grants only LP_HELPERS/LP_SYSTEM + run-as-install-user — not passwd.
So at runtime (manager, non-root) it failed exit 1 every scan, masked until now.
The password is set at install (root, chpasswd) and admin login is key-based,
so the runtime re-sync is legacy + impossible under de-sudo: guard it to skip
unless EUID 0. (Validates the surfacing mechanism working as intended.)

'local result=$(cmd)' resets $? to 0 (the local builtin's own exit), so the
following checkSuccess always saw success regardless of cmd's real exit — the
mechanism that masked the de-sudo write failures. Split declaration from
assignment ('local result; result=$(cmd)') across all 235 active-code sites
(84 files) so the command's exit reaches checkSuccess. No behaviour change
beyond $? now being accurate (no set -e in runtime code; multi-line
assignments transform safely).

checkSuccess silently reported '✓ Success' for failed commands, which is how
the de-sudo write gaps (throttle stamp, passwords, updater) hid. Rework it:
- Capture the real exit code up front; success path unchanged.
- On failure, ALWAYS append to a greppable $logs_dir/error_report.log tagged
with the caller's script:line + exit code — a failure can't hide behind a
green check anymore.
- New CFG_REQUIREMENT_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR (default true): log + continue so one
failure doesn't abort the run and we surface EVERY issue in a single pass.
Flip it off later for strict abort/prompt (the prior behaviour, preserved).
Documents the 'local VAR=$(cmd); checkSuccess' footgun (local resets $?), which
the next commit fixes across the tree.

Two more cases of the manager writing directly into the container-owned
/libreportal-containers tree (same class as the regen-poll stamp), both masked
by a '✓ Success' that printed anyway:
- Password replacers (config/password/*): used 'runInstallOp sed -i' (manager)
on app configs copied into the container tree, so sed -i EACCES'd its temp
file and the substitution silently failed — the adguard.config 'couldn't open
temporary file', leaving the literal RANDOMIZEDPASSWORD placeholder. Added
runCfgOp (picks runFileOp vs runInstallOp by the target file's location) and
routed every $file grep/sed/awk through it: password, username, hex, vapid,
appkey, and bcrypt.
- Updater generator (webui_updater_scan): 'runFileOp cp <manager-tmp>' can't
read the manager's 0600 mktemp as the container user, so it fell through to a
manager 'cp' that EACCES'd on the container-owned out_dir. Switched the three
writes to 'runFileWrite < tmp' (manager shell reads the tmp; container user
tees the write).
Both deploy via the normal quick path (relocatable scripts) — no footprint bump,
no reinstall.

A self-referential array — files_source.sh enumerates the arrays/ files — only
picks up a newly-created arrays/ file on the next regen pass. The task-folder
move created files_task.sh; this pass adds it to source_scripts so the committed
arrays match a fresh regen (and make_release's stale-array guard stays happy).

maybeRegenPoll truncates $REGEN_POLL_STAMP (.regen_poll_at) to throttle the
self-heal 'regen webui' poll, but the stamp lives in the docker-install-owned
TASK_DIR — the manager-run processor can't write there, so the truncate
EACCES'd every poll (swallowed by || true). The stamp never updated, so the
throttle read last=0 forever and 'regen webui' ran on every idle tick (and
spammed the journal ~16x/min).
Fix: pre-create the stamp world-writable in setupTaskDir, exactly like the
lock file and FIFO already are (runFileOp install -m 666). Truncate then
lands, the mtime advances, and the poll throttles to REGEN_POLL_INTERVAL.

The task processor is a systemd-service daemon, not a cron job — move it out
of the misleadingly-named scripts/crontab/task/ to scripts/task/.
To stop the systemd unit from baking the processor's in-tree path (the footprint
coupling that forces a reinstall on every reorg), the unit now ExecStarts the
stable wrapper: /usr/local/bin/libreportal __task-processor. start.sh intercepts
that early (after paths.sh, before the heavy load), exports install_scripts_dir,
and exec's the processor with start_script. Future moves/renames need only the
one hand-off updated + a regen — no footprint bump.
- git mv scripts/crontab/task -> scripts/task (filenames kept; cron-watchdog grep
+ function names unchanged)
- libreportal-svc: ExecStart -> stable wrapper launcher
- start.sh: __task-processor internal launcher (export install_scripts_dir; exec)
- crontab_task_processor.sh: fix self-location ../.. -> .. for the new 1-level
depth (latent bug the move would otherwise have introduced)
- regen files_*/function_manifest; add task_scripts to the app/cli aggregates

The config-category icons sat at admin/config/icons/CONFIG/ — the inner config/
duplicates the subsystem name; they belong in the icons root. Moved all 6
(backup, features, general, network, security, webui) up to
components/admin/config/icons/ and updated the two consumers (config-manager.js
header icon, config-sidebar.js category icons).
Also fixed the backup-engine logos: scripts/backup/engines/{restic,kopia,borg}
.json pointed 'logo' at /icons/config/backup.svg — a path that 404'd on two
counts (missing the components/admin/config prefix AND the now-removed config/
nesting), so the engine-details modal logo silently hid. Repointed to the real
served path /components/admin/config/icons/backup.svg.
(Left the meaningful icon groupings alone — admin/system/icons/{cpu,os} and
apps/core/icons/vpn are vendor/OS/provider logo sets, not redundant nesting.
The backup engines borrowing an admin-config icon is a minor smell; a dedicated
backup-engine icon could replace it later if wanted.)

The frontend modularization moved icons to frontend/core/icons/ and updated the
frontend JS, but the host-side generators were never updated — they wrote the
apps.json/categories 'icon' field as /icons/apps/<app>.svg and /icons/categories/
<cat>.svg, and webui_app_icons.sh / webui_config.sh synced icon files into the
non-existent frontend/icons/apps. Those served paths 404 (text/html catch-all),
so every app card fell back to default.svg (the generic box) instead of its real
logo.
Repointed to /core/icons/... (where the SVGs actually live and serve as
image/svg+xml):
- webui_config.sh: icon dir + emitted apps.json icon path
- webui_app_icons.sh: icon sync dir + comment
- webui_container_setup.sh: comment
- webui_create_app_categories.sh: 11 category icon paths
Source fix only — the live apps.json refreshes on the next host-side regen
(lpRegen). NOT touched: scripts/backup/engines/*.json '/icons/config/backup.svg'
(that SVG lives at the oddly-nested components/admin/config/icons/config/ and
serves at neither path — needs a placement decision, flagged separately).

Replaces the read-only "Largest images" top-10 table with a Tasks-style list of
ALL Docker images, with select-one / select-multiple / clear-all removal that
mirrors the Tasks page UX (row checkboxes, master select-all, a button that
morphs Clear All ↔ Delete Selected (N), an eo confirm modal).
Deletion routes through the task system, NOT a new web API: a new
`libreportal system image rm [--force] <ids>` CLI subcommand (validates each
ref, loops runFileOp docker image rm, reports a tally) is invoked via the
system_image_rm task action — same pattern as Reclaim. The web backend change
is read-only (uncap the existing /storage image list). In-use images are
skipped by default with an opt-in "force-remove" toggle (warned). The page
stays put, toasts, and refreshes on the task's completion event.

Docker only tracks where an app's data lives (its bind mounts), not how
big a bind-mounted host dir is — so named-volume accounting reads ~0 for
LibrePortal, whose app data lives in bind mounts. Add a generator that
reads each app's mount map from `docker inspect` and `du`s the directories
(via runFileOp, so it runs as the data-owning user and isn't blocked by
rootless UID mapping). `du -x` keeps each measurement on its own
filesystem, so data on a separate disk is reported as a distinct
"external" total. The generator self-throttles to ~10 min since du is
heavier than the per-minute metrics. Surfaced as a "Storage by app"
section on the Storage page.

Adds per-file integrity attestation on top of the existing signed-tarball
release flow. make_release now generates a SHA256SUMS manifest over the shipped
tree and (when a key is configured) signs it, riding both inside the release
tarball so they land in the install tree with no extra download.
lpVerifyInstall (scripts/source/verify.sh) re-hashes the install tree against
that manifest and verifies the manifest's minisign signature against the
root-owned footprint pubkey, yielding states: verified / modified / tampered /
unsigned / unverifiable / development. webuiSystemVerify writes verify_status.json
(throttled daily, force on demand, also after each update apply), surfaced as an
Integrity line + "Verify now" button on the Admin → Overview Updates card and a
row in the update details panel. `libreportal verify` exposes the same check on
the CLI.
Honest framing: this is a self-check (run by the software it verifies), so red
fires only for genuine modified/tampered states; the badge tooltip points to
out-of-band `minisign -Vm` for an independent guarantee.

Three fixes from testing the storage page:
- Placement: the "Reclaim space" button moves into the page header,
top-right (matching the metric page), instead of sitting in the body.
- It now actually reclaims: build cache needs -a to drop (docker reports
0 B "reclaimable" without it, but it's pure cache — safe to clear), so
the CLI uses `docker builder prune -af`. Previously the safe scope
freed ~nothing on a box whose reclaimable was mostly cache.
- Honest "Reclaimable" number: /api/system/storage was counting the
whole build cache AND unused tagged images, overstating what the safe
prune frees (e.g. 340 MB shown, ~96 MB per docker, button cleared 0).
Reclaimable now = dangling images + build cache only; stopped
containers and volumes are never counted (the safe prune never touches
them). Headline now matches the button's effect.
Also simplify the CLI output (drop the jargony scope notice and the
reclaimed-total greps) and re-enable the now-persistent header button
after the post-reclaim refreshes.

Adds a `libreportal system reclaim` CLI command and an orange "Reclaim
space" button on /admin/config/system/storage (the v2 prune control the
page always hinted at).
Scope is deliberately SAFE: build cache + dangling (untagged) images
only (docker builder prune -f + docker image prune -f via the
rootless-aware runFileOp). It never touches volumes (app data) or
tagged/in-use images, so nothing an app relies on is removed.
Wiring mirrors system_update: a systemReclaim() action + system_reclaim
route case run the command verbatim through the task processor. The
button confirms via showConfirmation, shows a spinner, and re-reads
storage usage as the prune lands. Button styled with --status-warning to
match the Reclaimable stat it sits under, with a note clarifying scope.

Tap the Advanced card 10 times and a full-width "Dev mode activated"
strip slides in beneath the two cards — the same 10-tap pattern as the
topbar logo and services-manager unlocks, now at install time. The
choice rides the setup payload (dev_mode) so setup_apply.sh persists
CFG_DEV_MODE=true, and it's mirrored in-process via LpUi.dev so the
next surface already reflects it. 10 more taps toggles it back off.
Counting the Advanced radio's click (not the label's) sidesteps the
label->input double-fire; the radio is pointer-events:none, so each tap
reaches it exactly once. The strip is [hidden] by default (no phantom
gap in the flex column) and replays its entrance keyframes each reveal.

The uninstall branch of webuiUpdateAppLog removed the per-app WebUI log
with a bare `rm`. The log lives in the container data plane and is owned
by the container user, often without a write bit. A bare rm (run as root
via `sudo init.sh uninstall`) prompts interactively for write-protected
files — which hangs an otherwise-unattended deploy: the uninstall phase
of a `full` redeploy stopped dead at "rm: remove write-protected regular
file '.../frontend/logs/apps/<app>.log'?".
Route it through runFileOp rm -f (as the container-data owner, force) to
match the neighbouring uninstall_app.sh and the install branch's
owner-aware createTouch/runFileWrite helpers. No prompt, correct owner.

Adds the install-time Beginner/Advanced choice the user described, with
the linked dev-mode escape hatch and global body-class machinery that
any surface can hang advanced/dev-only DOM off.
Three-tier mental model, two flags in the data model:
Beginner default. nothing extra shown.
Advanced .lp-advanced DOM revealed; advanced wizard steps shown
Adv+Dev .lp-dev DOM also revealed; dev-only fields visible
Linking rule (enforced inside LpUi):
- enabling dev auto-enables advanced (dev w/o advanced is incoherent)
- disabling advanced auto-disables dev
Wire shape:
CFG_INSTALL_LEVEL beginner | advanced (general_basic)
CFG_DEV_MODE existing, unchanged behaviour
window.LpUi.{advanced,dev} {get(), set(), apply()}
localStorage keys lp.ui.advanced, lp.ui.dev, lp.ui.seeded
body classes lp-ui--advanced, lp-ui--dev
events lp-ui-advanced-changed, lp-ui-dev-changed
global CSS gates body:not(.lp-ui--advanced) .lp-advanced { hide }
body:not(.lp-ui--dev) .lp-dev { hide }
Setup wizard:
- New step 1 "Choose your experience" with Beginner/Advanced cards.
Beginner is preselected so race-through gets the safe default.
- Picking a level updates totalSteps live (4 for beginner, 5 for
advanced) so the progress bar reflects the choice.
- Metrics step (Prometheus + Grafana) is gated to Advanced — beginner
never sees it, never gets asked, never installs them by accident.
- Submit payload now carries install_level; setup-routes.js validates
it against the enum (beginner|advanced).
- scripts/setup/setup_apply.sh writes it to CFG_INSTALL_LEVEL via
updateConfigOption.
- On submit, LpUi.advanced.set is called immediately so the next
surface (running-tasks page) is already in the right mode — no
refresh needed.
WebUI bootstrap:
- js/utils/lp-ui.js loads first thing in index.html (before any other
bootstrap) so body.lp-ui--advanced is applied pre-paint — no FOUC
of advanced content on a fresh tab.
- On first run, seeds lp.ui.advanced from CFG_INSTALL_LEVEL.
Subsequent loads honour the user's per-browser override.
- Mirrors CFG_DEV_MODE → lp.ui.dev on the seed pass.
Dev-mode unlock:
- Existing 10-click LibrePortal-logo easter egg unchanged.
- NEW: same 10-click unlock on the Advanced toggle (in services-manager).
Reuses the countdown-toast pattern; on the 10th click delegates to
the topbar's _setDevMode so there's one canonical setter and the
config_update task path stays singular.
- TopbarComponent now exposes its instance as window.topbar so the
toggle's tap handler can reach _setDevMode.
- topbar._setDevMode also calls LpUi.dev.set(enabled) so the body
class flips immediately (no reload needed to see dev-only DOM).
Convention rolled out:
- Services tab's .service-rich panel was already gated on
body.lp-ui--advanced.
- .lp-advanced / .lp-dev are now first-class hide classes any
component can tag DOM with — see style.css globals.

Two small uninstall-output tweaks.
1. dockerComposeDownRemove now ALWAYS calls dockerRemoveApp (the
`docker ps -aqf name=…` → stop + rm sweep) as a fallback, even when
the compose-down step is skipped because the app dir is missing.
Before, a partial prior uninstall (compose file gone but containers
still running) produced "App directory not found. Skipping container
shutdown." and then proceeded as if the uninstall were complete —
leaving the actual containers running. The name-based sweep also
runs after a successful compose-down to catch anything compose
wouldn't pick up (renamed services, orphans from earlier failures).
While here: the OS_TYPE gate (only Ubuntu/Debian) is gone too —
`docker compose down` works on any OS with docker, and gating it
meant Arch/etc. users got NO compose teardown at all.
2. The step-2 header "Keeping Docker images (pass --delete-images to
remove)" trimmed to just "Keeping Docker images". The `isNotice`
line below already explains the reuse-on-reinstall behaviour; the
CLI-flag hint reads as noise in the WebUI task log where users
can't act on it anyway. CLI users can still pass --delete-images
(cli_app_commands.sh wires it as before) or tick the WebUI's
"Also delete docker image" checkbox.

dockerDeleteData (uninstall) and the wipe-before-restore step in
restoreAppStart both did `runFileOp rm -rf $containers_dir$app_name`,
which runs as $CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER (dockerinstall, uid 1002 on
rootless). That user owns app-template files but CANNOT remove
container sub-UID dirs created by the daemon's userns mapping —
postgres data at uid 232070, nextcloud html at uid 33, etc. The rm
therefore silently failed with
rm: cannot remove '/libreportal-containers/invidious/postgresdata':
Permission denied
while still reporting "<app> successfully uninstalled" — leaving the
sub-UID directory tree on disk to confuse the next install and leak
storage.
Fix: route the wipe through a new `app-data-remove` action in the
root-owned libreportal-ownership helper. Root can rm sub-UID files
unconditionally. The helper validates the app name (alphanumeric +
. _ -, no traversal), refuses the WebUI's own slot (libreportal), and
is idempotent when the dir is already gone.
Two callers updated:
- scripts/docker/app/uninstall/delete_data.sh
- scripts/restore/restore_app_start.sh
The helper itself ships root-owned at /usr/local/lib/libreportal/, so a
fresh install or release upgrade is needed to pick up the new action.
Bumped init.sh footprint_version 2 → 3 so the runtime updater
prompts a root re-install on the next release.

checkApplicationsConfigFilesMissingVariables does a `find $containers_dir
-maxdepth 2 -type f -name '*.config'` to enumerate every app's live
config. runFileOp drops privileges to $CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER
(dockerinstall), which is intentionally the *manager* for the rootless
data plane — but doesn't own the per-app container sub-UID dirs (e.g.
invidious/postgresdata uid 232070, nextcloud/html uid 33).
At maxdepth 2 find doesn't actually need to descend into those dirs to
satisfy the name filter, but it tries to anyway and emits chatter like
find: '.../invidious/postgresdata': Permission denied

start / restart). Cosmetic only — the actual .config files are at the
right depth and ARE found — but it shows up in the live CLI output
during installs.

load_sources.sh calls checkConfigFilesMissingFiles() after init.sh +
variables.sh but BEFORE initilize_files.sh sources the function
manifest. checkConfigFilesMissingFiles uses runInstallOp (in
docker/command/run_privileged.sh) to copy missing config templates —
under LP_LAZY=1 that's an autoload stub that only exists once the
manifest is sourced. So when any template is genuinely missing, the
copy call hits "runInstallOp: command not found" and the file silently
never gets copied.
Symptom on a fresh CLI invocation (foreground or processor subprocess
inheriting LIBREPORTAL_TASK_EXEC=1) where a new config category was
added:
config_check_missing.sh: line 33: runInstallOp: command not found
✓ Success 1 config files were missing and have been added to the
configs folder. ← false success: the count incremented but the
copy itself didn't happen
Fix: source run_privileged.sh directly in load_sources.sh just before
the missing-files check. The file is pure function definitions (runAsManager
/ runFileOp / runFileWrite / runInstallOp / runInstallWrite), no side
effects, ~150 lines — safe to source unconditionally and idempotent
with the eager/lazy load that happens later. Adds <1ms to every CLI
invocation; saves silent failures on the rare path that calls it.

WebUI-created tasks emit camelCase initial fields (createdAt, startedAt,
completedAt, heartbeatAt, exitCode, errorMessage) per
tasks-manager.js / task-manager.js conventions, with createdAt in
ISO-UTC-with-ms (`2026-05-27T13:01:26.345Z`). The processor then layers
snake_case status fields (started_at, heartbeat_at, …) on top as the
task runs.
The CLI's cliTaskRun was writing snake_case only — `created_at` with
local-tz offset. The task panel's renderer reads `task.createdAt`
directly (no alias), so CLI-queued tasks showed blank Created/Started
columns until the processor wrote its own snake_case overlay
(which doesn't include createdAt at all). Visible symptom: dates
"broken" on CLI-queued tasks.
Now the initial JSON cliTaskRun writes matches what the WebUI's
"Install" button writes:
{
id, command, status: queued,
createdAt: "<ISO-UTC-with-ms>",
startedAt: null, completedAt: null, heartbeatAt: null,
exitCode: null, errorMessage: null,
type, app
}
Processor side is unchanged (still adds snake_case overlay on
status transitions — that's how WebUI tasks already work). No JSON
shape change for in-flight tasks.
ALSO (out-of-repo): /home/user/Documents/Scripts/update.sh now restarts
the systemd `libreportal.service` task processor after the docker
`libreportal-service` container restart. Same reason — both pre-load
code at startup, both need a restart to pick up changes. Without this,
deploys silently kept a stale processor running old code while the

The Features section was a grab-bag of ~27 toggles, most of which are
either category-specific (firewall, SSL, Docker network, SSH hardening)
or install-time choices that brick the box if flipped on a live
install (the WebUI / config / CLI / Docker requirements). One page
made auditing easier but flattened the risk hierarchy.
Reorganised so each toggle lives where it conceptually belongs, and
the dangerous install-time set is double-gated:
network_docker (Advanced) DOCKER_NETWORK, DOCKER_NETWORK_PRUNE,
DOCKER_SWITCHER
network_firewall (Advanced) UFW, UFWD, WHITELIST_PORT_UPDATER [new]
network_domains (field-Adv) SSLCERTS
security_ssh (Advanced) SSHKEY_DOWNLOADER, SSH_DISABLE_PASSWORDS,
BCRYPT_SAVE, GLUETUN_FOR_ALL [new]
general_terminal (Advanced) CRONTAB, CONFIGS_CHECK,
CONFIGS_AUTO_UPDATE, CONFIGS_AUTO_DELETE,
MISSING_IPS, CONTINUE_PROMPT,
SUGGEST_INSTALLS, SUGGEST_METRICS
general_install (Adv+DEV) CONFIG, COMMAND, WEBUI, WEBUI_SERVICE,
DATABASE, PASSWORDS, DOCKER_CE,
DOCKER_COMPOSE
The install-time eight are marked **ADVANCED** **DEV** — invisible
unless Developer Mode is on AND "Show Advanced Options" is expanded.
Each field's description was updated to note "Disabling on an existing
install will brick the system" / "install-time choice only" so a user
who does get to the toggle understands the gun before pulling the
trigger.
Other cleanup that fell out:
- Removed `configs/features/` directory entirely.
- Added the two new subcategories to SUBCATEGORY_ORDER in
network/.category and security/.category.
- Dropped the `category === 'features'` Danger Zone header special-case
in config-manager.js and its .danger-zone-section--header-only CSS
variant (sole user).
- Trimmed an obsolete "Edit the features config" notice in
check_requirements.sh.

Extends the install-routing spike (e5273a4) to every long-running CLI
command, so CLI and WebUI now share one execution path everywhere:
app install ← already done
app uninstall
app start / stop / restart / up / down / reload
app backup
app restore
update apply
backup app create (matches `app backup` — same end target)
Each handler now has the same shape:
if [[ "$LIBREPORTAL_TASK_EXEC" == "1" ]]; then
<inline call> # processor's recursive invocation
else
cliTaskRun "<cmd>" <type> <app> # user invocation: enqueue + follow
fi
Processor change — crontab_task_processor.sh:
Adds `export LIBREPORTAL_TASK_EXEC=1` next to LIBREPORTAL_NONINTERACTIVE.
Universal bypass: every task command the processor runs (CLI-queued OR
pre-existing WebUI-queued like `libreportal app install adguard`)
inherits the env var, so the inline branch fires and we never
re-enqueue. This also lets us drop the env-var prefix the install spike
was baking into the command string (e5273a4) — cleaner task files +
one place to think about the bypass.
`backup app schedule` (the cron-driven path that already enqueues via
createTaskFile in backup_app_schedule.sh) is left alone — different
entry point, different runtime context, already correctly task-routed.
Why route the fast ones too (start/stop/restart/up/down):
Consistency beats the ~1s task-roundtrip latency for a CLI button.
Locking now serialises a CLI `app stop foo` against a WebUI restart of
the same app; the audit trail covers every state change. Cheap to
revert any individually if the latency turns out to bother someone.
Validated live earlier with `libreportal app install dashy` — task file
written, processor dispatched, follower streamed install live, exit 0
propagated. Same machinery now powers the other 9 handlers.

Spike — closes the gap where the CLI install bypassed the very task system
the WebUI uses. Now both surfaces hit the same path:
user types `libreportal app install dashy`
→ CLI enqueues a task file in $TASK_DIR (identical shape to the
WebUI's createTaskFile)
→ pokes $TASK_DIR/.queue.fifo so the processor dispatches in <100ms
instead of waiting up to IDLE_POLL_SECS
→ CLI tails the task log + polls .status, exits with the task's
exit_code on terminal state
→ Ctrl-C detaches the follower without killing the task — the
WebUI's tasks panel keeps showing it
Bypass: the recursive command in the task file is prefixed
`LIBREPORTAL_TASK_EXEC=1 libreportal app install <name>`. The install
branch in cli_app_commands.sh honours that env var by running inline,
which is what the processor's eval invocation hits. No processor
changes — the bypass travels with the task.
Wins:
- one log file per install, shared by CLI + WebUI (audit trail + replay)
- locking serialises CLI + WebUI installs (no more two-frontend race)
- WebUI's "current task" indicator now reflects CLI work too
- free `--detach` for fire-and-forget queueing
New: scripts/cli/task/cli_task_run.sh
cliTaskRun <cmd> [type] [app] [--detach]
Enqueues + follows; --detach prints the task id and exits 0.
cliTaskFollow <task_id>
`tail -F` the log + jq-poll the status; returns the task's exit_code.
Designed to be reused for `libreportal task log <id>` reattach later.
Trade-off: ~200-500ms latency before the first byte (write task file,
processor wakes, opens log, follower starts tailing). Negligible for
install/update/backup — fast commands (list/status/config get) still
run inline. The current branch only changes `app install`; uninstall +
update + backup can be moved on the same pattern once this lands clean.

Finishes the installApp refactor started in d941f59 (Wave A). Every app
whose <app>.sh was either pure boilerplate (Wave B) or boilerplate +
small custom logic (Wave C) now routes through the generic driver in
scripts/app/install/app_install.sh; bespoke logic moved to declarative
hooks in containers/<app>/scripts/<app>_install_hooks.sh.
Net: ~4,000 lines of duplicated 10-step sequence gone. From 31 per-app
.sh files (pre-Wave-A) down to 2 intentional keepers.
DELETED outright (pure boilerplate — driver replaces them identically):
jellyfin, mastodon, focalboard, ipinfo, speedtest, dashy, invidious,
nextcloud, ollama, vaultwarden, pihole
DELETED + hook-extracted (small bespoke step preserved in a hook):
bookstack, moneyapp, owncloud, trilium, searxng, gitea, headscale,
unbound, prometheus, grafana, gluetun, wireguard, jitsimeet, authelia,
traefik, adguard, onlyoffice
KEPT (intentional special cases):
crowdsec — host-app pattern (no docker compose, runs as apt+
systemd via installCrowdsecHost; uninstall/stop/
restart hooks already live in this file and are
invoked by dockerUninstall/Stop/RestartApp directly).
libreportal — WebUI bootstrap. Pre-compose image build + post-install
webuiLibrePortalUpdate + bootstrap-time suppression of
menuShowFinalMessages don't fit the generic flow.
Driver change — scripts/app/install/app_install.sh:
Moved monitoringToggleAppConfig "$app_name" "docker-compose.yml" from
the post-start integrations block into the install body at post-compose
(right after dockerComposeSetupFile, before docker-compose up). The
toggle edits the compose file on disk — running it after start meant
the container had already been brought up with the unmodified compose,
so the metrics endpoint wouldn't reflect CFG_<APP>_MONITORING until
the next restart. Matches the original ordering in every per-app .sh
that used to call it inline.
Hook surface (declare-f-gated, silent no-op when absent):
<slug>_install_pre before any install work
<slug>_install_post_setup after dockerConfigSetupToContainer
<slug>_install_post_compose after dockerComposeSetupFile (+ the
shared monitoring toggle on the compose)
<slug>_install_post_start after dockerComposeUpdateAndStartApp
<slug>_install_message_data echoes extra argv for menuShowFinalMessages
<slug>_install_post very last thing, after the final message
+ the existing _uninstall_pre/_post, _stop_post, _restart_post
Notable extractions:
bookstack — _install_post_start: probe :PORT_1/login until 200/302,
then `bookstack:create-admin` inside the container with
CFG_BOOKSTACK_ADMIN_{EMAIL,PASSWORD}; falls back to the
seeded admin@admin.com on timeout.
adguard — _install_post_start drives the wizard's HTTP API
(POST /control/install/configure) so the admin doesn't
click through five pages, then pins the admin bind back
to 0.0.0.0:3000 (matches the compose mapping) and health
checks. _install_message_data echoes user/password to
menuShowFinalMessages.
authelia — _install_pre requirements; _install_post_compose copies
configuration.yml + users_database.yml, substitutes
theme/domain/host, generates JWT/session/storage secrets,
toggles monitoring on configuration.yml; _install_post_start
argon2-hashes the admin password via the container, writes
users_database.yml, restarts; _install_post echoes creds.
traefik — _install_pre prompts for the LE email if CFG_TRAEFIK_EMAIL
is unset; _install_post_compose copies static + dynamic
configs, wires CFG_TRAEFIK_DASHBOARD_ACCESS (local-only /
domain-only / public), toggles monitoring on traefik.yml,
then traefikUpdateWhitelist + traefikSetupLoginCredentials.
wireguard — _install_pre host-conflict guard (/etc/wireguard/params);
_install_post_compose persists CFG_WIREGUARD_SUBNET,
resolves WG_HOST (domain+traefik → host_setup, else IP),
runs runAppCfg wireguard-ip-forward; _install_post_start
restarts after wg-easy installs its iptables rules.
jitsimeet — _install_post_setup downloads the tagged release zip from
GitHub; _install_post_compose mass-edits the .env and runs
gen-passwords.sh; _install_post_start rewrites nginx
default site to usedport1/2 + restart.
prometheus — _install_post_compose seeds prometheus.yml under
$containers_dir/prometheus/prometheus/; _install_post_start
sets 0777 on storage dirs so the container TSDB can write
regardless of host UID mapping.
grafana — _install_pre requirements; _install_post_start 0777 on
grafana_storage.
gluetun — _install_post_start refreshes the provider snapshot,
reattaches every routed app (the netns container ID is
stale after gluetun gets recreated), then prompts to
onboard any existing apps.
+ the smaller bookstack-shape extractions for owncloud (version scrape),
trilium / searxng (wait-for-first-boot-config), gitea (Prometheus
bearer token sync), headscale / unbound (config copy), moneyapp
(Auth.js AUTH_URL), onlyoffice (compose-resolved user/pass into the
final message).
Manifest + arrays regenerated. Verified end-to-end:
- bash -n on every hook file + the driver: clean
- Each hook file sources cleanly in a subshell, exposes only the
intended functions, flagged lazy-loadable (not eager)
- Smoke-stubbed install run for jellyfin (pure), nextcloud (pure),
bookstack (hooked), crowdsec (kept): correct dispatch in all cases —
deleted apps route to installApp, kept apps still hit their real
function

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.

The advanced field was carrying a four-clause explanation walking through
"quiesce", "live dump", "stop fallback", and the live-option eligibility
rules — useful background for engineers, overwhelming as a hover tooltip
for the typical user picking from the dropdown.
New tooltip:
"How the app is prepared before each backup. Automatic is recommended;
pick Live only if you need zero downtime."
Two lines, plain language, points at the right default. The dropdown's
own labels (Automatic (recommended) / Stop→snapshot→start / Pause→snapshot
→unpause / Live — no downtime) carry the technical specifics; the
tooltip no longer has to.

Symptom (reported on adguard install):
sed: couldn't open temporary file /libreportal-containers/adguard/sedZaGX2H:
Permission denied
✗ Error Updated CFG_ADGUARD_BACKUP to true
! Notice Non-interactive mode: aborting on error.
Root cause: updateConfigOption ran a raw `sed -i` regardless of which tree
the config file sits in. Works fine for /libreportal-system/configs/*
(manager-owned) but breaks on /libreportal-containers/<app>/<app>.config
(dockerinstall-owned in rootless mode) — sed -i writes its temp file next
to the target, inheriting the directory's perms, and the manager can't
write inside dockerinstall dirs. EVERY app installer that mutates a
CFG_<APP>_* value (the autogenerated random password, BACKUP toggle,
PORT override, etc.) goes through this function, so this was a latent
ticking bomb across all containers.
Fix: pick the helper based on path —
- under $containers_dir → runFileOp (escalates to
dockerinstall in rootless, runs as manager in rooted)
- otherwise → runInstallOp (always manager)
Read paths (grep / source) stay unwrapped — both dirs are world-readable;
only the write needs the privilege swap.
Net: no more 'Permission denied' on app installs; the de-sudo pattern is
now respected end-to-end for CFG writes.

`webuiSystemUpdate` was calling `webuiSystemMetrics` and getting
"command not found": the lazy-load manifest was missing it (and
`webuiSystemApps`), even though both are defined in
webui_system_metrics.sh.
Cause: the manifest scanner's awk-based depth tracker is line-based.
The first function in that file, `_metricsReadCpu`, contains an
embedded awk script:
_metricsReadCpu() {
awk '/^cpu /{ <-- the open brace runs to end-of-line, depth += 1
...
}' /proc/stat <-- the close brace is mid-line, NOT counted
} <-- depth-- but we started one too high
The increment rule fired for the `/^cpu /{` line (open brace at EOL),
the matching close on the `}' /proc/stat` line was not counted because
the existing depth>0 branch only decremented when stripped was EXACTLY
`}`. Result: depth ended at 1 instead of 0 after _metricsReadCpu, and
every subsequent funcname() header was treated as "still inside a
function" and silently dropped. Same pattern across the ~6 files the
lazy-loader memory called out as "false-positive eager".
Fix: in the depth>0 branch, count open AND close braces per line
symmetrically and apply the net delta. Drops the redundant "exactly
`}`" special-case rule, clamps depth at 0 as a sanity backstop. False
positives from braces inside string literals could under/over-count
locally, but the clamp + the next legitimate `funcname()` header at
depth-0 re-anchors the tracker.
Result on a full regen:
- 858 → 876 functions indexed (+18 previously-stranded)
- webuiSystemMetrics + webuiSystemApps now correctly autoloaded
- eager-file count: 9 → 11 (two files that genuinely have both
function defs and top-level side effects are now correctly seen
both as eager AND get their functions indexed — net win on
every axis)
Verified live: the WebUI updater that was failing with "command not
found" now prints "Updated system information..." cleanly.

Existing installs were locked out of template-side description /
options / marker changes because reconciliation kept the user's whole
`CFG_KEY=value # comment` line verbatim. So new metadata like the
**DEV** marker I'm adding for the developer-mode feature wouldn't take
effect on already-deployed boxes — only fresh installs.
Updated reconcileConfigFile to split each line into value-part and
comment-part. User value is still sacred; the comment (title,
description, [options], **ADVANCED**/**DEV** markers) now comes from
the template. Field renames, label tweaks, marker additions/removals
shipped in a release reach existing installs on the next CLI
invocation (which runs the reconciler).
Specifically unblocks: the developer-mode WebUI feature (CFG_DEV_MODE
field gets added by the existing add-only path; CFG_INSTALL_MODE and
CFG_RELEASE_CHANNEL now pick up their new **DEV** markers and the
'Release - Stable' / 'Bleeding Edge' labels).

`libreportal app generate <name>` (and the menu's "g. Generate App" entry)
was broken three independent ways and incompatible with the per-app
architecture the project actually uses now:
1. Copies from $install_containers_dir/template/ which doesn't exist —
the only template/ in the tree was in scripts/unused/OLD_CONTAINERS/
and was never installed into the live tree. cp -r would just fail.
2. Every sed call used BSD/macOS syntax `sed -i '' -e …`. On Linux
(every distro this targets) the empty '' becomes a positional file
argument, so the substitutions never ran. 8 calls, all broken.
3. Even if it had run, the produced skeleton would have been a
pre-modular-tools / pre-per-port-subdomain app shape: no tools/,
no scripts/ subdir, HOST_NAME=test in the .config. Every active
containers/<app>/ today carries the modular layout the rest of the
framework expects.
Plus the recent cleanups (the prompt loop fix in 9ffc8e4, the per-port
subdomain refactor in 2e4f420) had been peeling pieces off it without
the root question — does the function still belong? — getting asked.
Delete the whole surface:
- scripts/app/app_generate.sh (157 lines, the function body)
- scripts/unused/OLD_CONTAINERS/template/ (the never-installed source
files appGenerate would have copied — stale enough to still carry
HOST_NAME=test, CFG_<X>_HOST_NAME, and 248 lines of compose template)
- menu entry "g. Generate App" + its dispatch in menu_main.sh
- "generate" case branch in cli_app_commands.sh
- `libreportal app generate` line in cli_app_header.sh
- The corresponding entries auto-drop from files_app.sh +
function_manifest.sh via regen.
New apps are added the way the catalog already grew — by hand-crafting
containers/<app>/{<app>.sh, <app>.config, docker-compose.yml,
tools/<app>.tools.json, scripts/<app>_*.sh}. Copying an existing app's
folder + renaming is the closest thing to a "generator" and it's a one-
command operation.

initilize_files.sh's load-comment said "Phase 6 will tackle this with a
precompiled cache file" — but Phase 6 deliberately shipped a different
(simpler) win, and Phase 7 was reconsidered and rejected (the ~30 ms
saving doesn't justify the invalidation complexity across every CFG
write site). Rewrite the comment to describe current behaviour: the two
config scans run because bash can't lazy-load variables, and the
precompile was looked at and dropped.
app_generate.sh had a `read -p "" host_name` inside a `while true` with
no break — anyone who actually ran `libreportal app generate` would
have hung at the hostname prompt forever. The value was then fed into
a `sed 's/HOST_NAME=test/HOST_NAME='"$host_name"'/g'` against the new
app's .config file, but the post-2e4f420 template no longer carries
HOST_NAME=test (per-port subdomains in the PORT row drive routing now).
So the prompt was infinite-looping to gather a value that fed a no-op
sed. Drop both — the function loses no real capability since the
subdomain field is set per-port via the standard PORT row.

The Debian-shipped passt AppArmor profile (/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.passt)

- ptrace_read on the rootlesskit child to enter its user namespace
- read /run/user/<uid>/dockerd-rootless/netns (the netns file)
- read /proc/<pid>/net/{tcp,tcp6,udp,udp6} for implicit port forwarding

New installRootlessApparmorForPasta() — idempotent fixup.

2. Writes /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.passt with the four rules
pasta needs. The /local/ pattern is the standard Debian AppArmor
hook for site-managed overrides — survives `apt upgrade passt`
because it's outside the package's managed paths.
3. Reloads via apparmor_parser -r.
Called from installDockerRootless after the override.conf write, gated
on $rootless_net == pasta. slirp4netns installs skip it.
This box was already manually patched while debugging the pasta swap —

applies the same fix on any other host that installs rootless docker
with pasta as the net driver.

Two webui-data generators wrote to a temp file via bare `cat > "$temp_file"`
then `runFileOp mv` to the final path. The temp file's path sits inside
$containers_dir/libreportal/frontend/data/<x>/generated/ — owned by the
dockerinstall user (the data plane). The generators run as the manager,
who can't open paths under that tree for write, so every WebUI update
hit:
webui_backup_migrate.sh: line 125: …/migrate.json.tmp.<pid>: Permission denied
mv: cannot stat '…/migrate.json.tmp.<pid>': No such file or directory
webui_peers.sh: line 23: …/peers.json.tmp.<pid>: Permission denied
mv: cannot stat '…/peers.json.tmp.<pid>': No such file or directory
Pipe the heredoc through `runFileWrite "$output_file"` instead — same
shape the 5 sibling generators in this dir (backup_app_status,
backup_locations, backup_passwords, backup_snapshots, backup_dashboard)
already use. runFileWrite routes the write via the install user that
owns the data tree, so the file lands on disk in one step (no temp +
mv dance needed). The unused `local temp_file=...` declarations dropped
out cleanly.
The trailing `runFileOp chmod 644 "$output_file"` stays — it's the only
guarantee the WebUI container (which reads these files RO) sees them as
world-readable regardless of dockerinstall's umask.

CrowdSec's host-side install (the agent + nftables bouncer the LibrePortal
Traefik plugin talks to) had stayed on blanket sudo throughout the rootless +
de-sudo hardening: `sudo apt-get install crowdsec`, `curl | sudo bash`,
`sudo sed -i /etc/crowdsec/config.yaml`, `sudo touch + sudo chmod /var/log/
crowdsec*.log`, `echo $key | sudo tee /etc/crowdsec/traefik_bouncer.key`,
plus `sudo cscli capi register / console enroll / bouncers add`. None of
those are in the scoped LP_HELPERS / LP_SYSTEM sudoers grant the manager
now holds, so any user who enabled crowdsec would have hit hard sudo
failures on every privileged step.
Follow the libreportal-appcfg / libreportal-bininstall pattern: one new
root-owned helper at /usr/local/lib/libreportal/libreportal-crowdsec
that does every privileged op behind a fixed action vocabulary with strict
argument validation. The manager calls in via runCrowdsec — the scoped
sudoers grants exactly one binary, the same trust boundary the other
helpers rely on.
Actions:
install apt repo + agent + firewall-bouncer + enable +
crowdsecurity/{linux,sshd} collections + reload
(idempotent — skips parts already in place)
services <verb> enable | disable | restart
capi <verb> register | unregister | status
console <verb> enroll <token> | disenroll | status
token format strictly validated
bouncer-traefik-init cscli register + write the manager-owned key file
atomically (returns EXISTS or GENERATED:<key>)
bouncer-priority bouncer yaml nftables priority → -100
(moved from libreportal-appcfg; one helper for
every crowdsec root op)
bind-lapi flip listen_uri to 0.0.0.0:8080 in config.yaml
prometheus <on…|off> flip the prometheus block (validated addr/port)
touch-host-logs create + chmod 0644 /var/log/crowdsec*.log so the
libreportal container can tail them
Wired in via:
- new sudoers Cmnd_Alias entry for the helper in LP_HELPERS
- new helper baked alongside the others by initRootHelpers
(replaces __SYSTEM_DIR__ / __CONTAINERS_DIR__ / __MANAGER__ at
install, with safe runtime fallbacks if unbaked)
- new runCrowdsec dispatch in scripts/docker/command/run_privileged.sh
containers/crowdsec/scripts/crowdsec_install_host.sh now drives the whole
flow through runCrowdsec — every `sudo …` is gone, the compose-toggle sed
uses runFileOp, and the security_crowdsec CFG mirror uses runInstallOp
(configs/ is manager-owned). Net: install script shrinks ~80 lines while
gaining a single auditable trust boundary. crowdsec_fix_priority.sh swung
over to runCrowdsec bouncer-priority too — the appcfg crowdsec_priority
action drops out cleanly.

runBackupOp dropped privileges to $docker_install_user with `sudo -E`,
which preserves the CALLER's environment — including HOME. The caller is
the manager (libreportal), so restic-running-as-dockerinstall ended up
with HOME=/home/libreportal and tried to mkdir
`/home/libreportal/.cache/restic` for its cache. dockerinstall can't
write into libreportal's home, so every backup ran with:
unable to open cache: mkdir /home/libreportal/.cache/restic: permission denied
twice (once in backup, once in the verify-via-scratch-restore step), with
restic falling back to a no-cache run that's a few × slower than it
should be.
Add `-H` (sudo's "reset HOME to target user's home"). Now restic sees
HOME=/home/dockerinstall, creates ~/.cache/restic there (dockerinstall
owns its own home, no help needed), and the warning is gone. Confirmed
live: a `backup app create linkding` round-trip is silent on cache, and
the dir lands at /home/dockerinstall/.cache/restic, mode 0700, correctly
owned.
All restic/borg/kopia calls funnel through runBackupOp, so this single
character fix covers every backup-tool invocation.

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.

Tree-wide audit (working tree + deployed install + every local/remote ref
+ every reachable commit + unreachable objects via git fsck) found zero
external callers. Existed dead since v0.1.0 — never wired in.
The function set DOMAINSUBNAME, TIMEZONE, DOCKER_NETWORK (all duplicates
of fills that happen elsewhere) plus the two unique-to-it CONFIGS_DIR_TAG
+ CONTAINERS_DIR_TAG. Those two are already wired directly into the
standard tag-fill block in dockerConfigSetupFileWithData (commit 521f08b),
so dropping the source file leaves no behavioural gap.
Also tighten the comment that explained why we inlined the two tags —
don't reference the function we're deleting in the same change. Describe
the current behaviour, not the history (per repo convention).
Regenerated the auto arrays + function_manifest.sh: the 3 stale entries
referencing this function drop out cleanly. files_cli.sh / files_config.sh
/ files_source.sh also rebuilt — no net content change beyond dropping
this one path.

The location_loader's find ran through runFileOp (sudo -u libreportal),
which forks a sudo shell purely for the find call. configs/backup/
locations/ is already manager-owned (not in the dockerinstall-owned
containers tree), so the sudo step adds ~50 ms of process-creation
overhead for zero security benefit.
Plain `find` now, with a tiny [[ ! -r || ! -x ]] guard that falls
back to runFileOp if someone relocates the dir to a non-traversable
location. Same observable behaviour, ~50 ms saved per CLI invocation.
This is the simpler half of Phase 6 — the libreportal_configs scan
itself was already plain-find (only ~11 ms total for 22 files). The
remaining costly scan is app_configs against /libreportal-containers/,
which legitimately needs sudo because dockerinstall owns that tree.
Precompiling its content is possible but adds invalidation complexity
(updateConfigOption writes happen at runtime) — deferred for now;
better return on simpler interventions.

The early loop in sourceInitilize() sources every .sh under source/files/
recursively — including the new arrays/function_manifest.sh, which now
carries ~860 autoload stub definitions (~50 ms parse cost). Even in
eager mode where lazy infrastructure is never touched, every invocation
was paying that cost up front.
The manifest is only needed in lazy mode, where it's sourced explicitly
at the top of the lazy branch. Excluding it from the early loop:
- Eager mode: drops the ~50 ms regression introduced by Phase 5.
- Lazy mode: unchanged — the explicit source still runs.
This brings eager back to the pre-Phase-5 baseline and lets the lazy
container-stub gain (skipping sourceScanFiles containers, ~70 ms) show
through as a real saving.

Containers used to be eager-loaded via `sourceScanFiles "containers"`
even under LP_LAZY=1 — sourcing all ~160 installer functions up front.
Phase 5 brings them into the autoload-stub mechanism.
generate_function_manifest.sh now scans BOTH scripts/ AND containers/
(maxdepth 3, matching sourceScanFiles' existing prune), with a per-entry
root selector so stub emission uses the right base directory:
scripts/peer/peer_add.sh → source "${install_scripts_dir}peer/peer_add.sh"
containers/linkding/linkding.sh → source "${install_containers_dir}linkding/linkding.sh"
New manifest exports:
LP_FN_MAP funcname → relpath (existing)
LP_FN_ROOT funcname → scripts|containers NEW
LP_EAGER_FILES "<root>:<relpath>" entries NEW format
~860 autoload stubs (was ~700; +160 from containers)
Loader changes (initilize_files.sh):
- Parses LP_EAGER_FILES entries as `root:path`, dispatches to the
right install_*_dir. Pre-Phase-5 entries without a colon default to
scripts (backwards-compatible).
- sourceScanFiles "containers" is skipped when LP_LAZY=1 AND
LP_FN_MAP is loaded (manifest-driven autoload covers it).
Eager mode and lazy-with-missing-manifest both still run the scan.
Measurement target: ~70 ms saved on top of Phase 4. Verified separately
in the commit message of the next deploy.

scripts/source/load_sources.sh — when init_run_flag=false (one-shot CLI
invocation), default LP_LAZY=1 before sourceCheckFiles runs. Honours an
explicit `LP_LAZY=0 libreportal …` override for debugging or for working
around a stale manifest.
Long-running processes (init_run_flag=true → task processor, WebUI
service) stay unchanged — they want eager loading because they keep
running and benefit from every function being already-hot.
Measured on this box, 3 runs each:
EAGER (default before this commit):
real 0.91s / 1.12s / 0.94s avg ~0.99s wall
user 0.40s / 0.41s / 0.42s avg ~0.41s CPU
LAZY (new default for CLI):
real 0.63s / 0.65s / 0.66s avg ~0.65s wall
user 0.26s / 0.27s / 0.26s avg ~0.26s CPU
Wall: ~340ms saved per invocation (34%).
User: ~150ms saved per invocation (37%).
Files actually sourced at startup: 455 → 8 (the manifest itself + 7
side-effect files: setup_lock, the two crontab processors, backup_db,
backup_files, swap_docker_type, migrate_url_rewrite).
Safety nets:
- Missing manifest auto-falls-back to eager loading (init.sh check
in the lazy branch sets LP_LAZY=0 if function_manifest.sh is absent).
- Stub for a function not in the manifest still produces a clean
'command not found' rather than weird behaviour, so a stale manifest
surfaces immediately. `libreportal regen arrays` regenerates both
files_*.sh and function_manifest.sh.
Smoke-tested (lazy mode active): `libreportal help`, `peer list`,
`peer` (shows full help), `restore` (shows full help), `debug load-
trace peer list` (traces a lazy run and shows the 8 files loaded). All
output identical to eager mode.
