Three small follow-ups from review:
1. Restore target is now operator-editable. Default value is the
literal '\$HOME/rm-restore/<job-id>/' (agent expands \$HOME at
run time using os.UserHomeDir(); also handles \${HOME} and ~/
prefixes). Operator can replace with any absolute path.
- ui_restore.go validates the input is either absolute or starts
with one of the recognised prefixes; other env-var refs (\$PATH
etc.) are deliberately rejected so operator paths can't pick up
arbitrary agent env values.
- host_restore.html replaces the read-only mono-text display with
a real <input>; help text spells out that \$HOME resolves
agent-side and <job-id> is substituted on dispatch.
- install.sh + the systemd unit prep /root/rm-restore so the
default works under the sandbox: ReadWritePaths gains a soft
'-/root/rm-restore' entry (the '-' makes the bind-mount soft-fail
if missing, but install.sh pre-creates it root-owned 0700).
2. --no-ownership flag now gated on restic version. The flag was
added in restic 0.17 and 0.16 rejects it. Previously dropped it
wholesale — that meant new-dir restores silently preserved
ownership against design intent on 0.17+. Now the agent threads
its detected restic version (sysinfo already collects it) through
runner.Config -> restic.Env, and RunRestore appends --no-ownership
only when AtLeastVersion(0, 17) returns true. 0.16 hosts still
restore with original uid/gid; help text in the wizard explicitly
notes this. The previous 'Original ownership is preserved' copy
was wrong for new-dir mode and is corrected.
3. golangci-lint misspell locale switched US -> UK and the codebase
swept (73 corrections, mostly behaviour/serialise/recognise/honour).
Wire-format ErrorCode 'unauthorized' -> 'unauthorised' is a tiny
contract change but the agent doesn't parse those codes today and
no external API consumers exist yet. Tests passed before + after.
Tests:
- internal/restic/version_test.go covers Env.AtLeastVersion across
edge cases (empty, exact match, patch above, minor below, non-
numeric) and expandHome on \$HOME / \${HOME} / ~/, plus
pass-through for absolute paths and refusal of other env vars.
- ui_restore_test updated: TargetDir now starts '\$HOME/rm-restore/'
with the job_id substituted into the placeholder.
Live verified on the smoke env: default target restored to
/root/rm-restore/<job-id>/ as the agent's expanded \$HOME (2 files,
14 bytes); custom override '/tmp/custom-restore/<job-id>/' restored
into the agent's PrivateTmp namespace (1 file, 6 bytes); both jobs
'succeeded', exit 0.
P3-09 — snapshot diff dispatcher.
- POST /api/hosts/{id}/snapshots/diff (and the unprefixed HTMX-form
variant) takes {snapshot_a, snapshot_b}, validates both belong to
the host (long id / short id / prefix match), checks the agent is
online, mints a JobDiff, ships command.run with DiffPayload, writes
a host.snapshot_diff audit row, returns HX-Redirect to the live
job page (or JSON {job_id, job_url} for REST callers).
- Two-snapshot guard: POSTing diff(a,a) returns 422.
- UI: small panel on the host_detail right rail (visible when the
host has 2+ snapshots) with two short-id inputs and a Diff button.
Output renders on the standard live job page where the operator
reads the per-line diff text directly.
P3-X3 — recent-restores line.
- hostChromeData grows RestoreStatus / RestoreAt / RestoreJobID
populated via store.LatestJobByKind(host_id, 'restore') (already
exists, used by the init line).
- host_chrome.html renders a small line below the existing init-status
one with status-coloured copy + a link to the job log. Hidden when
no restore has ever run on this host.
Tests:
- diff_test covers happy path (correct DiffPayload + HX-Redirect),
same-id rejection (422), unknown-id rejection (422). Adds a
seedTwoSnapshots helper since ReplaceHostSnapshots is atomic-swap
(calling seedSnapshot twice would only leave the second).
Restage block (CLAUDE.md) deferred to the end of the restore phase.
