End-to-end forget plumbing — operator can create a forget schedule
with keep-* values, agent runs restic forget --keep-* … on the
schedule's cron (or via per-row Run-now), snapshot list shrinks,
UI updates.
* api.CommandRunPayload gains retention_policy json.RawMessage so
the agent doesn't need a typed copy of the server-side struct.
* restic.ForgetPolicy mirrors restic's --keep-* flags. Empty()
reports zero dimensions; restic wrapper RunForget refuses to
run an empty policy (would delete every snapshot). Does NOT
pass --prune — pruning lives behind a separate admin-only
credential (P2-06); forget just rewrites the snapshot index.
* runner.RunForget mirrors RunBackup's envelope shape so the
live log viewer works without special-casing. On success
triggers reportSnapshots (forget shrinks the index, the host's
snapshot count almost certainly changed).
* cmd/agent dispatcher handles MsgCommandRun with kind=forget,
decodes RetentionPolicy from the wire, builds restic.ForgetPolicy.
* Server dispatchScheduleNow marshals the schedule's
RetentionPolicy into the wire payload for kind=forget jobs.
Refuses to dispatch a forget schedule with empty retention.
* validateSchedule rejects kind=forget without at least one keep-*
dimension (new error code: missing_retention).
* UI schedule edit form gains a Kind dropdown (backup or forget;
immutable on edit). Paths block toggles by kind via inline
data-kind attributes. Form help-text explains the prune
separation.
Other kinds (prune, check, unlock) deferred to P2-06..08; the
Kind dropdown only offers backup and forget today.

Agent runs as root (HOME=/root from systemd) with ProtectHome=
read-only, so restic's `mkdir /root/.cache/restic` fails on the
first call. Backups still completed (restic falls back to no-cache)
but every job log started with a noisy red "unable to open cache"
warning.
Default to /var/lib/restic-manager unconditionally — that's already
in the unit's ReadWritePaths and survives ProtectHome. ExtraEnv
overrides still win for tests / unusual setups.

Re-running restic init on a repo that's already initialised exits
non-zero with "Fatal: ... config file already exists". Semantically
that's a no-op, not a failure — the repo IS initialised, the
caller's intent is satisfied. Sniff stderr for the magic string
and swallow the exit code in that case, emitting an event line
so the operator-facing log says what happened.
Caught while smoke-testing P2-04.5: I'd init'd the repo manually
during a debug session, then the operator clicking the UI's
Init-repo button would hit this and the host's repo_initialised_at
would never flip.

Cohesive batch from a smoke-test session against a real rest-server.
Themed bullets:
* Agent runs as root, sandboxed via systemd. CapabilityBoundingSet
drops to CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH + restore caps; ProtectSystem=strict
with ReadWritePaths confined to /etc + /var/lib/restic-manager;
NoNewPrivileges blocks escalation. Install script no longer
creates a service user. spec.md §4.2 / §14.1 / §14.3 explain the
rationale (matches UrBackup / Veeam / Bareos defaults; trying to
back up "everything" as an unprivileged user creates silent skips
on /home, /root, /var/lib/* with no upside vs the threat model
the agent already implies).
* Init-repo end-to-end. New JobKind="init" wired through agent
runner, restic.Env.RunInit, server dispatcher, and a UI button
(red "Initialise repo" in the run-now panel). hosts.repo_initialised_at
flips on init success, on backup success, or on a non-empty
snapshots.report. The "Run now" / "Init" / "Retry" branching now
drives both the dashboard host row and the host-detail panel.
Migrations 0004 (column), 0005 (jobs.kind CHECK widened — using
the safe create-new-then-rename pattern; first version corrupted
job_logs.job_id FK), 0006 (cleans up job_logs FK on already-
affected DBs).
* rest-server creds embedded at exec time only. restic.Env gains
RepoUsername; mergeRestCreds() builds the user:pass@-prefixed URL
inside envSlice() and never assigns it back to the struct, so
nothing slog-able ever sees the cleartext form. RedactURL helper
for any future surface that needs to log a URL safely. Both
helpers tested.
* Add-host UX. Repo password is now optional — server mints a
24-byte URL-safe random one and surfaces it once, alongside an
htpasswd snippet ("echo PASS | htpasswd -B -i ... USERNAME") so
the operator pastes one command on the rest-server host and one
on the endpoint. Result page also links the install snippet at
/install/install.sh (was /install.sh — 404'd before) and pipes
to bash (not sh — script uses set -o pipefail and other
bashisms; on Debian/Ubuntu sh is dash).
* Late-subscriber race in JobHub. A fast-failing job could finish
(DB write + Broadcast) before the browser's HX-Redirect → page
load → WS-connect path completed, so the JS sat forever waiting
on a job.finished that already passed. JobHub split into
Register + Send + Run; handleJobStream now subscribes first,
re-fetches the job, and sends a synthetic job.finished if the
state is already terminal.
* HTMX error visibility. New toast partial listens to
htmx:responseError and surfaces the response body as a
bottom-right toast — every server-side validation error now
becomes visible without per-handler JS wiring. Also handles
custom rm:toast events for future server-pushed notifications
via the HX-Trigger header. Themed via existing CSS vars.
* Dashboard rows are now whole-row clickable to host detail
(CSS card-link pattern: absolute-positioned anchor + .row-action
z-index restoration so the action button stays clickable).
"View →" on a running job links to /jobs/<id> rather than
/hosts/<id> since the row click already covers the host page.
* "Run first" / "Run first backup" → "Run now" everywhere for
consistency.
* runbook (docs/e2e-smoke.md) updated — live-log streaming step
now reflects P1-26; mentions the browser-driven Run-now flow.
* _diag/dump-creds — moved out of cmd/ so go build doesn't pick
it up; .gitignore now excludes /_diag/ entirely.

Two fixes that close the loop on dashboard run-now and harden the
agent's restic invocation.
Default paths (interim until P2-01 schedules):
- 0003 migration adds default_paths TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '[]'
to hosts and to enrollment_tokens.
- Operator types paths in the Add-host form (textarea, one per
line). They ride on the enrol_token row alongside the
encrypted creds (paths aren't secret — plain JSON column).
- On consume, ConsumeEnrollmentToken still just burns the token;
the new GetEnrollmentTokenAttachments returns both the
re-bindable creds and the path list in one round trip, the
handler transfers them onto the new host row inside CreateHost.
- The dashboard's Run-now and host-detail's "Run backup now"
button now read Host.DefaultPaths and pass them to dispatchJob.
A host with no default paths returns 400 with a friendly
"no paths set" message instead of dispatching a doomed
`restic backup` with no positional args.
- Doc comments explicitly call this out as a Phase 1 interim —
schedules supersede.
Restic env hygiene:
- envSlice() previously omitted HOME / XDG_CACHE_HOME, which
bit the smoke runs whenever the agent was launched outside
systemd (restic refused to start: "neither $XDG_CACHE_HOME
nor $HOME are defined"). Now both are set explicitly: prefer
Env.ExtraEnv overrides, fall back to the agent process's own
HOME, and finally to /var/lib/restic-manager.
- Comment makes the env policy explicit: parent's RESTIC_* /
AWS_* / B2_* env is filtered out by design — control-plane
is the unambiguous source of truth.
JS bug fix in the live log page:
- {{$job.ID | printf "%q"}} produced a literal-quoted JS string,
which then went into the WS URL as ".../jobs/"<ID>"/stream"
→ 404. Switched to '{{$job.ID}}' inside the literal so
html/template's auto-escape does the right thing. Verified
end-to-end: dashboard "Run now" → live progress + log lines
arrive over the WS → succeeded pill renders.

Lands the operator → server → agent → restic → server roundtrip for
on-demand backups. The flow:
POST /api/hosts/{id}/jobs {kind:"backup",args:["/path"]}
→ server creates a queued Job row
→ server emits command.run over WS to the host's agent
→ agent dispatcher spawns runner.RunBackup in a goroutine
→ runner spawns `restic backup --json`, parses each line
→ forwards: job.started, log.stream (every line), job.progress
(throttled to 1/sec), job.finished (with summary stats blob)
→ server WS handler persists those into jobs / job_logs
P1-16 internal/restic: thin Locate + Env wrapper that runs `restic
backup --json`, scans stdout/stderr, parses BackupStatus +
BackupSummary, calls back into a LineHandler so the agent can fan
out to log.stream + job.progress. Treats exit code 3 as
"succeeded with issues" (matches restic's contract).
P1-18 store: jobs accessors (CreateJob, MarkJobStarted,
MarkJobFinished, AppendJobLog, GetJob).
P1-19 server: POST /api/hosts/{id}/jobs creates the Job row,
validates kind, dispatches via Hub.Send, audit-logs the action.
P1-20 agent runner: wraps restic.RunBackup with throttled progress
emission. Sender abstraction was added to wsclient.Handler so
background goroutines can keep replying after dispatch returns.
P1-21 server WS: dispatchAgentMessage now persists job.started,
job.finished, log.stream into the database. Browser fan-out for
live tailing lands with the UI work.
Agent gets repo_url + repo_password from agent.yaml in plaintext
for now (mode 0600, owned by service user); spec.md §7.3's keyring
storage moves there in P2. config.update over WS overrides the
in-memory copy (does not persist).
Build clean; all tests pass. End-to-end with a real restic still
needs a host that has restic installed — wire shape verified by
the existing hello/heartbeat round-trip test.
