1. Agent-side MkdirAll on the new-dir restore target. Restic creates
missing leaves but won't traverse multiple missing levels, and
under the systemd sandbox writes outside ReadWritePaths fail
anyway. Calling os.MkdirAll(target, 0700) before invoking restic
means the operator never has to pre-create the per-job subdir,
and a path the sandbox rejects surfaces as a clean
'restic restore: prepare target ...: read-only file system' error
in the job log instead of a cryptic restic-side stat failure.
2. tasks.md Phase 3 — Restore section refreshed:
- P3-X4 added (job log download dropdown — txt + ndjson)
- P3-X5 added (UK lint locale switch + 73-correction sweep)
- P3-X6 added (SIZE/FILES tooltip when host's restic < 0.17)
- P3-03 entry expanded to cover version-gated --no-ownership,
editable target, $HOME expansion, agent-side MkdirAll
- As-shipped sweep summary mentions custom-target restore +
download dropdown + tooltip in addition to the original walk
Test: TestRunRestoreNewDirAutoCreatesTarget seeds a multi-level
target the operator hasn't created and confirms RunRestore mkdir's
the chain before invoking restic.
Bug fixes from the Playwright sweep against the live smoke server:
1. Snapshot-picker layout. The .snap-row class was used in the wireframe
but never landed in web/styles/input.css; rows rendered as vertical
blocks instead of a 6-column grid. Added the token (mirrors host-row
shape with restore-specific column widths).
2. Tree expansion. hx-target='closest .tree-row + .tree-children' isn't
a valid HTMX selector — modifiers don't chain. Replaced HTMX-driven
expansion with a small window.__rmTreeToggle helper that uses plain
fetch + .tree-pair wrapper structure for trivial sibling lookup.
Caches loaded state per node.
3. --no-ownership flag dropped. Restic 0.17 introduced --no-ownership;
0.16 rejects it ('unknown flag') before doing any work. Since the
agent runs as root in the systemd unit, restored files keep their
original uid/gid either way and the parent dir is root-owned, so
the 'cp without sudo' rationale doesn't hold. Drop the flag entirely.
4. Default target dir moved to /var/lib/restic-manager/restore. The
systemd unit pins ReadWritePaths to /etc/restic-manager +
/var/lib/restic-manager (with ProtectSystem=strict making the rest
of /var read-only); writes to /var/restic-restore failed with
'read-only file system'.
5. Confirm summary HTML escaping. defaultTarget JS literal evaluates
to a string with literal angle brackets; insertion into innerHTML
must escape them. Added an inline HTML-escape pass.
tasks.md ticked for the Restore sub-phase with a sweep summary
covering the live end-to-end test.
Wires JobRestore and JobDiff end-to-end at the agent layer (the wizard
backend that drives this lands in the next slice).
- internal/api: JobRestore + JobDiff JobKind constants. CommandRunPayload
grows nullable Restore + Diff sub-payloads. RestorePayload carries
snapshot_id, paths, in_place, target_dir; DiffPayload carries
snapshot_a + snapshot_b.
- internal/restic.RunRestore wraps 'restic restore <sid> --target ...
[--no-ownership] [--include p]...' with --json. New pumpRestoreStdout
parses the per-line status / summary objects (drops raw status from
log.stream — the throttled job.progress envelope covers it). New
RestoreStatus + RestoreSummary types mirror restic's wire shape.
- internal/restic.RunDiff wraps 'restic diff --json <a> <b>'.
- internal/agent/runner: RunRestore translates RestoreStatus into
job.progress (mapping FilesRestored → FilesDone etc) with a small
estimateETA helper since restic doesn't provide ETA for restore.
RunDiff is a thin streamHandler wrapper.
- cmd/agent dispatcher gains JobRestore + JobDiff cases. Both reuse
the spawn() helper from P3-X1 so cancel just works.
- Drive-by fix: lastProgress was initialised to time.Now() so the
very first status event was suppressed by the 1s throttle if the
agent reported quickly. Initialise to time.Time{} (zero) so the
first event always emits. Affects backup + restore.
Tests:
- restore_test covers restore happy path (started → progress →
finished, kind=restore on the started envelope), in-place argv
asserts no --no-ownership, new-dir argv asserts --no-ownership +
--target + --include, diff produces the expected log.stream lines.
Restage block (CLAUDE.md) is deferred to the end of the restore
sub-phase so we restage once with all changes.
