+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented here.
+The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and the project follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-05-09
+
+First tagged release. Six development phases brought the project from
+empty repo to a self-hostable, multi-tenant restic backup orchestrator
+with a web UI, JSON API, and self-updating agent fleet.
+
+### Phase 1 — MVP: enrolment, visibility, on-demand backup
+
+- HTTP server, SQLite store with migrations, AEAD-encrypted
+  credentials at rest, Argon2id password hashing, session cookies.
+- WebSocket transport between server and agents (heartbeat, hello,
+  schedule fan-out, job log streaming).
+- Agent install path for Linux (systemd unit + `install.sh`); one-time
+  enrolment tokens with embedded repo credentials.
+- Run-now backup execution end-to-end, snapshot listing.
+- Server-side encrypted repo creds pushed to the agent on hello.
+
+### Phase 2 — Scheduling, retention, repo operations
+
+- Source groups (paths + excludes + pre/post hooks + bandwidth caps)
+  decoupled from schedules; a schedule fires a source group.
+- Cron-style schedules with retention policies, server-driven
+  reconciliation push and ack.
+- `restic forget`, `prune`, `check`, `unlock` automation; periodic
+  maintenance ticker with per-host stagger.
+- Pending-runs queue with backpressure (`max_concurrent_jobs` per
+  host).
+- Repo stats panel on the host detail page (size, last-check, last-
+  prune, stale-lock banner).
+- Auto-init of repos on first onboard with credential-failure surface
+  on the host detail page.
+- Announce-and-approve enrolment path for hosts that don't have a
+  pre-minted token (Ed25519 fingerprint, operator approves).
+- Windows agent: SCM service integration + `install.ps1` installer.
+- Cross-platform alt-enrolment (announce flow on Windows).
+
+### Phase 3 — Restore, alerts, audit
+
+- Restore wizard: pick a snapshot, pick paths, pick a target
+  (in-place / new directory), live progress.
+- Snapshot diff against parent.
+- Alert engine: per-source-group dedup, severity tiers, ack / resolve.
+- Live-refresh alerts table with severity cues.
+- Audit log UI with filters, sort, CSV export, payload-detail modal.
+
+### Phase 4 — RBAC, OIDC, host tags
+
+- Role-based access control: viewer / operator / admin.
+- User management UI (invite, role change, disable, password reset).
+- Generic OIDC SSO with JIT user provisioning + role mapping.
+- Per-host tags with chip-row filter on the dashboard.
+
+### Phase 5 — OSS readiness
+
+- mdBook-rendered docs site at `docs/book/`.
+- Contributor onboarding (CONTRIBUTING.md, security policy, license).
+- Docker-only release pipeline + reference deployment compose file.
+- Playwright e2e harness covering the smoke runbook.
+
+### Phase 6 — Update delivery + observability
+
+- Agent self-update: server-side channel pin per host, signed binary
+  fetch via the WS transport, atomic swap with rollback on failure.
+- Fleet-wide update orchestration with per-host stagger and an admin
+  pause switch.
+- Prometheus `/metrics` endpoint + Grafana dashboard JSON.
+- Repo size trend per host (90-day rolling) on the host detail page.
+
+### Cross-cutting
+
+- Live dashboard with column sort, filters, free-text host search,
+  background-tab-aware live refresh (5s cadence).
+- Pure-Go binary with embedded UI, no Node/CGO at runtime.
+- Reproducible `-trimpath -ldflags="-s -w"` builds for
+  linux/amd64, linux/arm64, windows/amd64.
+- Sharded CI (server-http / store / rest), pre-commit hooks (gofumpt,
+  go vet, golangci-lint).
+- Threat model published (`docs/threat-model.md`).

+
+```
+make smoke-restart   # rebuild server + (re)launch as systemd --user unit
+make smoke-status    # systemctl --user status

+reaped when the tool exits — don't do that. If the unit fails to
+start: `systemctl --user status restic-manager-smoke` and
+`$HOME/smoke/server.log` have the diagnosis.
+
+`smoke-deploy` does NOT touch `/usr/local/bin/restic-manager-agent`
+on this dev box; if your change requires the live agent here to
+update, run the agent restage block above by hand.

+# Code of Conduct
+
+restic-manager is a small project run by one person. This Code of
+Conduct sets out the basic expectations for participating in the
+project's issue tracker, pull requests, and any other community
+spaces (chat, mailing lists) we may run in future.
+
+## Expected behaviour
+
+- **Be civil.** Disagreement is fine; rudeness is not. The same
+  comment can usually be made without making it personal.
+- **Assume good faith.** People asking what feels like a basic
+  question may be new to the project. People proposing what feels
+  like a duplicate idea may not have seen the prior discussion.
+  Point them to the right place politely.
+- **Stay on topic.** Issue threads are for the issue. Tangential
+  conversations belong in their own thread.
+- **Acknowledge the project's scope.** restic-manager is
+  intentionally small in scope (see `spec.md` §2). Reasonable
+  feature suggestions may still be declined for fit reasons.
+
+## Unacceptable behaviour
+
+- Harassment, threats, or insults — public or private.
+- Discriminatory comments based on age, body size, disability,
+  ethnicity, gender identity or expression, level of experience,
+  nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, sexual identity
+  or orientation.
+- Sustained disruption — derailing threads, ignoring repeated
+  requests to take a discussion elsewhere, brigading.
+- Publishing other people's private information without permission.
+
+## Reporting
+
+If someone in the project's spaces is behaving in a way that
+breaches this Code of Conduct, contact the maintainer directly
+through the contact details on their Gitea profile, or via the
+private security disclosure path documented in
+[SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md). Reports stay confidential.
+
+The maintainer will review the report, gather context if needed,
+and respond. Possible outcomes include a private warning, a public
+clarification of expectations, a temporary or permanent ban from
+project spaces, or no action if the report doesn't hold up.
+
+There is no formal appeals process — this is a one-person project,
+not a foundation. If you think a decision was wrong you can say
+so, in writing, to the maintainer; that's it.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies to interactions in any space the
+project owns or operates: the Gitea repository (issues, pull
+requests, discussions, wiki), any chat channels we publish, and
+any conferences or events the project is officially represented at.
+
+It does not apply to:
+
+- Forks of the project that aren't being submitted back upstream.
+- Conversations between contributors that don't reference the
+  project.
+- Public criticism of the project itself.
+
+## Acknowledgement
+
+This document borrows shape and language from the
+[Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/) v2.1
+but is intentionally shorter and adapted to the project's
+single-maintainer reality.

+# Contributing to restic-manager

-Thanks for your interest in contributing to restic-manager.
+Thanks for your interest in restic-manager. This document covers how
+to set up a development environment, the conventions the project
+follows, and how patches make it from your machine into `main`.

-> This is a placeholder. The project is in pre-alpha (Phase 1 / MVP). A
-> full contributor guide will land alongside the Phase 5 OSS-readiness
-> work — see [`tasks.md`](./tasks.md) P5-02. Until then the notes below
-> apply.
+## Project status and scope

-## Before opening a PR
+restic-manager is in pre-1.0. Core functionality (Phases 0–4) is
+landed; OSS-readiness polish is in progress. The top of
+[`tasks.md`](./tasks.md) tracks what's next; [`spec.md`](./spec.md)
+is the canonical design doc and the source of truth for any
+"why is it built this way" question.

-1. Open an issue first for non-trivial changes — the design is still
-   moving (see [`spec.md`](./spec.md)) and unsolicited large PRs may
-   conflict with in-flight work.
-2. `make lint test` should pass.
-3. Match the existing code style — `gofumpt`, `goimports`, no comments
-   that just restate what the code does.
-4. Keep commits focused; one logical change per commit.
+The project is **single-maintainer, hobbyist-scale, and licensed
+under [PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0](./LICENSE)**. That has two
+practical implications:

-## Reporting security issues
+1. Big PRs without prior discussion may be declined for fit
+   reasons even when they're correct — opening an issue first lets
+   us check alignment cheaply.
+2. Commercial use is not permitted by the license. Bug reports and
+   patches from operators of personal/community deployments are
+   very welcome.

-Please do **not** open a public issue for security problems. A
-`SECURITY.md` with a private disclosure path will be added in Phase 5
-(P5-05). Until then, contact the repository owner directly via the
-contact details on their gitea profile.
+## Getting started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.25 or newer (`go.mod` is the source of truth)
+- `make`
+- For the front-end CSS bundle: nothing extra — `make build`
+  downloads a pinned `tailwindcss` standalone binary into `bin/`.
+- For the docs site: nothing extra — `make docs` does the same trick
+  with `mdbook`.
+- For end-to-end tests: Docker + Docker Compose, plus `npx` for
+  Playwright.
+
+### One-time setup
+
+```sh
+git clone https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager.git
+cd restic-manager
+make build          # compiles bin/restic-manager-{server,agent}
+make test           # full unit + integration test sweep
+make lint           # gofumpt + goimports + golangci-lint
+```
+
+### Running locally
+
+For most development, the [smoke environment](./docs/e2e-smoke.md)
+is the path of least resistance:
+
+```sh
+make smoke-restart  # rebuilds, launches as a systemd --user unit
+make smoke-logs     # tail of the server log
+```
+
+Then point a browser at `http://127.0.0.1:8080`. The first run
+prints a one-time bootstrap token to the log; use it to create the
+admin user.
+
+## Code conventions
+
+### Style
+
+- `gofumpt` for formatting; `goimports` for import grouping.
+  Both run via the pre-commit hook in this repo.
+- `golangci-lint` with `.golangci.yml` defaults; CI rejects on lint
+  errors.
+- UK English in identifiers, comments, log messages, and UI strings
+  (the misspell linter is configured for the UK locale — see
+  P3-X5 for the original sweep).
+- Comments explain **why**, not what; avoid restating the code.
+  A surprising invariant or an external constraint is worth
+  writing down. "Adds 1 to x" is not.
+- `slog` for structured logs. Never log secrets — and especially
+  never the merged-creds rest-server URL (see [`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md)).
+
+### File and package layout
+
+- `cmd/server` and `cmd/agent` are the two binary entry points.
+- `internal/` holds everything that's not part of the public Go
+  API (which is none of it — restic-manager isn't a library).
+- Per-feature packages live under `internal/server/...` for the
+  control plane and `internal/agent/...` for the agent.
+- `web/templates/` are HTML templates rendered with the standard
+  library; embedded via `web.FS`.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Unit tests live alongside the code as `*_test.go`. Use the
+  in-process sqlite store (`store.Open(":memory:")`) when you need
+  state — there is no test mock layer to maintain.
+- HTTP handlers test through `httptest.NewServer` against the real
+  router; see `internal/server/http/auth_test.go` for the canonical
+  fixture pattern.
+- End-to-end tests live in `e2e/` and run against a Docker Compose
+  stack. See [`docs/e2e.md`](./docs/e2e.md).
+
+### Database migrations
+
+- Migrations are hand-rolled SQL in `internal/store/migrations/`
+  and embedded via `embed.FS`.
+- Prefer column-level `ALTER TABLE` over rebuilds — see
+  [`CLAUDE.md`](./CLAUDE.md) "Migrations" section for the FK-cascade
+  trap that bit migration 0007's first draft.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Before opening a PR
+
+1. **Open an issue first** for non-trivial changes. The design is
+   still moving; an issue lets us agree on direction cheaply.
+2. Run `make lint test` locally — both must pass.
+3. Match existing code style (see above).
+4. Keep commits focused: one logical change per commit. Imperative
+   subject lines, body explaining why if it isn't obvious.
+5. Don't add `Co-Authored-By` trailers — repo policy. If you used
+   AI assistance in writing the patch, that's fine; we just don't
+   pollute every commit message with attribution boilerplate.
+
+### Pull requests
+
+PRs target `main`. CI runs lint + tests on Linux amd64/arm64 and
+Windows amd64; all three must be green to merge. Squash-merge is
+the default; the PR title becomes the merge-commit subject, so
+keep it short and informative.
+
+The PR template asks for:
+
+- A short description of what changed and why.
+- A test plan (commands run, scenarios verified).
+- Anything reviewers need to know to assess the change (related
+  issue, follow-up work, deferred concerns).
+
+### Reporting bugs
+
+Open an issue with:
+
+- restic-manager version (`server --version`) and agent version.
+- restic version on the affected host.
+- Steps to reproduce.
+- Server and agent logs (sanitise any tokens before pasting).
+
+Security-sensitive bugs go through the [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md)
+disclosure path instead — please don't open a public issue for
+them.
+
+### Suggesting features
+
+Open an issue describing the use case (not just the proposed
+solution). The roadmap in `tasks.md` shows where the project is
+heading; if the suggestion fits a future phase we'll wire it in
+there. If it falls outside the project's scope (multi-tenancy, SaaS,
+non-restic backends — see `spec.md` §2 non-goals) we'll say so
+early to save your time.
+
+## Code of conduct
+
+Project participation is governed by [CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+The short version: be civil; assume good faith; harassment is not
+tolerated.

+## Quickstart
+
+The reference deployment is a single Docker container fronted by
+your existing reverse proxy. See the [installation guide](docs/book/src/getting-started/install.md)
+for the full path; the very short version:
+
+```sh
+export RM_VERSION=v0.9.0    # pin a real tag
+export RM_BASE_URL=https://restic.example.com
+export RM_TRUSTED_PROXY=10.0.0.0/8
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+The server prints a one-time bootstrap token to the log on first
+start. POST it to `/api/bootstrap` (or open `/bootstrap` in a

+# Security policy
+
+restic-manager handles credentials that grant access to backup
+repositories — losing them means an attacker can read or destroy a
+fleet's backups. We take security reports seriously even at this
+project's small scale.
+
+## Supported versions
+
+Pre-1.0, only the latest tagged release on `main` is supported.
+Backporting fixes to older tags is not currently offered.
+
+| Version            | Supported      |
+|--------------------|----------------|
+| `main` HEAD        | Yes            |
+| Latest released tag| Yes            |
+| Anything older     | No             |
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+**Please don't open a public issue for security problems.**
+
+Instead, use one of these private channels:
+
+1. **Gitea private message** to the repository owner. The
+   instance is at <https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk> and the owner's
+   profile (`steve`) has direct-message contact set up.
+2. **Email** to the address on the maintainer's Gitea profile.
+   Use a subject like `[SECURITY] restic-manager: <one-line summary>`
+   so it doesn't get lost. PGP optional — if you want to encrypt,
+   ask for a key first.
+
+If you don't get an acknowledgement within **3 working days**,
+please escalate through the other channel — solo maintainers do
+miss things, and the goal here is to fix the problem, not to
+preserve protocol.
+
+### What to include
+
+- A description of the issue and the impact (what does an attacker
+  gain? confidentiality, integrity, availability?).
+- Affected component (server, agent, install script, docs).
+- Affected version (`restic-manager-server --version`).
+- Reproduction steps if you have them. A working PoC is welcome
+  but not required — a credible threat model is enough.
+- Whether you intend to publish a writeup, and any timing
+  preferences.
+
+### What we'll do
+
+1. Acknowledge receipt within 3 working days.
+2. Confirm or refute the issue, and agree a rough severity (CVSS
+   or just "this is bad / this isn't"). Asking clarifying
+   questions is normal at this stage — please don't read it as
+   foot-dragging.
+3. Develop a fix on a private branch, test it, and prepare a
+   release.
+4. Coordinate disclosure timing with you. The default is **30
+   days from confirmed report to public disclosure**, with a
+   patched release published before the disclosure date. Faster
+   if a workable PoC is already circulating; slower only by
+   mutual agreement.
+5. Credit the reporter in the release notes (or omit the credit
+   if you'd rather stay anonymous — your choice).
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- The server binary (`cmd/server`) and any HTTP, WebSocket, or CLI
+  surface it exposes.
+- The agent binary (`cmd/agent`) and the way it consumes commands
+  from the server.
+- The install scripts (`deploy/install/install.sh`, `install.ps1`)
+  and the systemd unit shipped with them.
+- The docker-compose reference deployment and the docker image we
+  publish.
+- Any cryptographic primitive choice or implementation detail
+  (AEAD, token hashing, session handling, OIDC handshake).
+- Documentation that, if followed, leads operators into an
+  insecure configuration.
+
+Out of scope (not because they aren't real problems, just not ones
+this report channel can act on):
+
+- Vulnerabilities in restic itself — report those upstream at
+  <https://github.com/restic/restic>.
+- Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies that haven't yet been
+  patched upstream — report upstream first.
+- Issues that require pre-authenticated admin access on the control
+  plane (admins can already do everything; that's not a privilege
+  escalation, that's the design).
+- DoS via resource exhaustion on a deployment without the
+  recommended reverse proxy / rate limiting in front (see
+  `docs/reverse-proxy.md`).
+- Social-engineering scenarios that don't have a technical hook
+  into the project's own surfaces.
+
+## Threat model summary
+
+For context (longer version in [`spec.md`](./spec.md) §11):
+
+- The server is **HTTP-only**; TLS termination, ACME, HSTS, and
+  edge rate-limiting are the reverse proxy's job.
+- Credentials are encrypted at rest with an AEAD key loaded from
+  `RM_SECRET_KEY_FILE`. The same key encrypts agent secrets that
+  travel to the agent over the WS channel.
+- Agents authenticate with bearer tokens issued at enrolment and
+  hashed at rest. Compromise of the server DB does **not** leak
+  bearer tokens in plaintext, but does leak the hashes (which is
+  enough to log in *as* the agent until the operator revokes —
+  see [NS-01 / NS-02](./tasks.md) for the revoke + regenerate
+  flows).
+- The control plane intentionally **never touches backup bytes** —
+  the agent runs `restic` directly against the repo. A
+  compromised control plane can dispatch new jobs but cannot
+  exfiltrate snapshot contents in-band.
+- Append-only credentials are first-class. Forget/prune jobs use a
+  separate, admin-marked credential that the server only pushes
+  for the duration of a maintenance dispatch.
+
+## Hardening checklist for operators
+
+- Run behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy (Caddy/nginx/Traefik).
+- Set `RM_TRUSTED_PROXY` to the proxy's CIDR so request IPs aren't
+  spoofable.
+- Back up `RM_SECRET_KEY_FILE` separately from the database.
+  Without it the encrypted creds are unrecoverable.
+- Use append-only credentials for the everyday backup path; only
+  the optional admin credential should have write/forget/prune
+  power.
+- Disable users (don't delete) when staff change roles — bearer
+  tokens stay valid until rotated.
+- Watch the alert and audit-log views during enrolment of new
+  hosts.
+
+Thanks for helping keep restic-manager users safe.

+# Onboarding a new host — agent instructions
+
+How an automation agent (with a username + password for the
+restic-manager server) brings a new host fully online.
+
+The flow is two roles:
+
+- **Controller side**: the agent calls JSON APIs on the
+  restic-manager server. Needs network reach to the server, plus
+  username/password.
+- **Target side**: the host being onboarded runs the install
+  script, which calls back to the server with the one-time token.
+
+If the agent is *both* sides (e.g. it can SSH into the target),
+it does steps 1–2 against the server and steps 3–4 against the
+target. If the agent only controls the server, it stops at
+step 2 and hands the install snippet to whoever owns the target.
+
+---
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Base URL: `$RM_SERVER` (e.g. `https://restic.lab.example`).
+- Session cookie jar: persist `rm_session` between calls.
+- All request/response bodies are JSON unless noted.
+- On any non-2xx, response body is
+  `{"code": "...", "message": "..."}`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Login
+
+```
+POST $RM_SERVER/api/auth/login
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{"username": "...", "password": "..."}
+```
+
+→ 200 with `{"user_id": "...", "role": "..."}` and a `Set-Cookie:
+rm_session=...` (HttpOnly, 24h TTL). Persist the cookie; reuse
+it on every subsequent call.
+
+Required role for the next step: **operator** or **admin**.
+A viewer-only login can read but cannot mint tokens.
+
+Session expires at 24h. On 401 from a later call, re-login.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Mint an enrolment token
+
+```
+POST $RM_SERVER/api/enrollment-tokens
+Cookie: rm_session=...
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "hostname":      "newhost.example",
+  "tags":          ["prod", "london"],          // optional
+  "repo_url":      "rest:https://rest.example/newhost",
+  "repo_username": "...",                        // optional, for rest-server / S3
+  "repo_password": "...",                        // optional
+  "initial_paths": ["/etc", "/home", "/var/lib"] // optional; default source group
+}
+```
+
+→ 200 with:
+
+```json
+{ "token": "<RAW_ONE_TIME_TOKEN>", "expires_at": "2026-05-09T..." }
+```
+
+**Capture `token` immediately — the server only stores its hash
+and will never return the raw value again.** TTL is 1 hour.
+
+The repo creds you provided are encrypted under the token hash
+and pre-attached to the host. The agent will fetch and store
+them at enrol-time; you will not need to push them again.
+
+If you lose the token before the install runs, mint a new one
+(the existing one becomes irrelevant; you can leave it to expire
+or revoke it via the UI).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Install on the target host
+
+The install script is hosted by the server itself. Running on the
+target:
+
+### Linux
+
+```
+curl -fsSL $RM_SERVER/install/install.sh | \
+  sudo RM_SERVER=$RM_SERVER RM_TOKEN=<RAW_ONE_TIME_TOKEN> bash
+```
+
+What it does, end-to-end:
+
+1. detects arch (amd64 / arm64)
+2. downloads `$RM_SERVER/agent/binary?os=linux&arch=<arch>` to
+   `/usr/local/bin/restic-manager-agent`
+3. creates `/etc/restic-manager/` and `/var/lib/restic-manager/`
+   (root:root, 0700)
+4. calls `POST /api/agents/enroll` with the token; server returns
+   the persistent agent bearer + `host_id`, written to
+   `/etc/restic-manager/agent.env`
+5. installs the systemd unit, `daemon-reload`, `enable --now`
+6. surfaces any pre-existing restic cron/timer entries so the
+   operator can decide whether to disable them (script does
+   *not* touch them automatically)
+
+The script is idempotent. Re-running on an already-enrolled host
+is a no-op unless `RM_FORCE_REENROLL=1`.
+
+The agent runs as **root** by design — fleet backup needs to
+read every file on the system. See
+`deploy/install/restic-manager-agent.service` for rationale.
+
+### Windows
+
+```
+iwr $RM_SERVER/install/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex
+# (or download + run; needs an elevated PowerShell)
+# Required env: $env:RM_SERVER, $env:RM_TOKEN
+```
+
+Same flow, lays down a Windows service instead of a systemd unit.
+
+### Manual / non-script enrolment
+
+If the install script can't be used, the wire-level enrol call is:
+
+```
+POST $RM_SERVER/api/agents/enroll
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "token":          "<RAW_ONE_TIME_TOKEN>",
+  "hostname":       "newhost.example",
+  "os":             "linux",                  // linux | windows
+  "arch":           "amd64",                  // amd64 | arm64
+  "agent_version":  "...",
+  "restic_version": "..."
+}
+```
+
+→ 200 with
+`{"host_id": "...", "agent_token": "...", "cert_pin_sha256": "..."}`.
+
+The agent_token goes into `/etc/restic-manager/agent.env` as
+`RM_AGENT_TOKEN=...`; subsequent agent → server traffic uses
+`Authorization: Bearer $RM_AGENT_TOKEN`.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Verify the host is healthy
+
+Poll until both conditions are true. Cap at ~5 minutes.
+
+```
+GET $RM_SERVER/api/hosts
+Cookie: rm_session=...
+```
+
+→ array of host objects. Find the one with the matching hostname
+and check:
+
+- `"status": "online"` — agent connected to the WS heartbeat
+- `"repo_status": "ready"` — `restic init` (or existing-config
+  detection) completed successfully
+
+If `repo_status` settles on `"init_failed"`, the repo creds are
+wrong or the repo URL is unreachable from the target. Inspect
+the matching job log:
+
+```
+GET $RM_SERVER/api/hosts/<host_id>/jobs   (most recent init job)
+GET $RM_SERVER/api/jobs/<job_id>          (full output)
+```
+
+Fix the creds with a creds-update call (see Settings → Repo on
+the UI for the exact route — currently form-only) or revoke the
+host and start over.
+
+---
+
+## 5. (Optional) configure schedules
+
+A new host gets one default source group covering `initial_paths`
+(or `/etc`,`/home` if you didn't pass any) and **no schedule**.
+Backups won't run until either:
+
+- a schedule is attached (cron expression, retention, etc.), or
+- you trigger an on-demand run via the source-group "Run now"
+  endpoint.
+
+These are not yet exposed cleanly as JSON-only routes; if the
+agent needs them, look at `internal/server/http/schedules*.go`
+and `internal/server/http/source_groups*.go` — most are JSON-
+capable, some are form-only with HTML 303 responses.
+
+---
+
+## Failure modes — quick reference
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `401` on `/api/enrollment-tokens` | session expired or viewer role | re-login as operator+ |
+| install.sh fails at "enrol": HTTP 410 | token expired (>1h) or already used | mint a fresh token |
+| Host shows `status=offline` after install | systemd unit didn't start; firewall blocks WS | `systemctl status restic-manager-agent`, check `$RM_SERVER` reachability |
+| `repo_status=init_failed` | bad repo creds or URL | inspect init job log; fix creds; retry probe via `/hosts/{id}/repo/probe` |
+| Token list grows with stale rows | normal — they expire at 1h | optional cleanup via `/hosts/enrollment-tokens/{hash}/revoke` |

+
+## Why outbound-only WebSockets?
+
+The agent dials the server on `/ws/agent` with a bearer token. The
+server doesn't initiate connections to the agent. Three reasons:
+
+1. **Firewall friendliness.** Nothing on the endpoint needs an
+   inbound port; this works behind the typical "branch office NAT"
+   without router config.
+2. **Single auth point.** The bearer token is the only credential
+   that crosses the boundary; the agent never accepts an
+   incoming socket.
+3. **Reconnect semantics are simpler.** When the connection drops
+   (NAT timeout, server restart, transient network glitch) the
+   agent backs off and re-dials; the server marks the host
+   offline after 90s and lets the alert engine raise a stale-host
+   alert.
+
+## Why SQLite?
+
+SQLite covers the project's HA non-goal: there isn't one. A small
+control plane managing twelve endpoints does not need replication
+or a separate database tier. SQLite gives us:
+
+- A single file to back up (plus the secret key).
+- Hand-rolled migrations under `internal/store/migrations/` —
+  no migration framework lock-in.
+- `WAL` mode plus per-connection foreign-key enforcement.
+
+The migrations file the entire schema; there's no ORM or
+query-builder layer between Go code and SQL.
+
+## Why the agent runs `restic` itself, not via the server
+
+The control plane never holds backup bytes in flight. That's
+deliberate:
+
+- A compromised control plane cannot exfiltrate snapshot
+  contents in-band — at worst it can dispatch new backup or
+  forget jobs (audit-logged) but the data path is between the
+  agent and the repository.
+- The same agent process can target whichever transport restic
+  natively supports (rest-server, S3, B2, SFTP, local), no
+  separate mux on the server side.

+
+## What scheduling looks like
+
+- The agent runs a local `robfig/cron/v3` instance.
+- The server pushes the desired schedule set to the agent on
+  hello + after every CRUD change.
+- When the agent's cron fires, it sends `schedule.fire` to the
+  server. The server creates a job row, sends `command.run` back,
+  and the agent dispatches a normal backup.
+- If the WS drops between fire and run, the server queues the
+  schedule firing into `pending_runs` and drains on agent
+  reconnect — no missed scheduled backups due to network blips.
+
+For everything that isn't a backup (forget, prune, check), the
+server runs a 60-second maintenance ticker against
+`host_repo_maintenance` rows and dispatches the relevant command
+when a cadence is due. The agent's local cron only handles
+backups.

+# Credentials and how they flow
+
+restic-manager handles three credential surfaces:
+
+1. **Operator credentials** — the username + password (or OIDC
+   identity) that logs into the UI.
+2. **Agent bearer tokens** — issued at enrolment, used by the
+   agent to authenticate its WebSocket to the server.
+3. **Repo credentials** — the rest-server / S3 / B2 / SFTP
+   credentials the agent passes to `restic` itself.
+
+Each has a different threat model and storage strategy.
+
+## Operator credentials
+
+- Local users are stored in `users` with a bcrypt password hash.
+- Sessions are random tokens minted at login, stored hashed in
+  the `sessions` table, expired after 24h. Cookie is HttpOnly,
+  SameSite=Lax, and Secure (when `RM_COOKIE_SECURE=true`,
+  default).
+- OIDC users carry `auth_source='oidc'` and an `oidc_subject`
+  pinning their IdP identity. Local password login is rejected
+  for OIDC users.
+- Disabling a user soft-deletes them via `disabled_at` —
+  pre-existing sessions are invalidated on the next request.
+
+## Agent bearer tokens
+
+- Minted at enrolment, hashed at rest with `auth.HashToken`.
+- The plaintext token only exists in memory at enrolment time
+  and on the agent's filesystem (`/etc/restic-manager/agent.yaml`,
+  mode `0600`, owned by the service user).
+- Compromise of the server DB leaks the hashes, which is enough
+  to *log in as that agent* until you revoke. Compromise of the
+  agent host leaks the plaintext (via the config file) — same
+  end result.
+- Rotation: re-enrol the host. Today there's no in-place rotate;
+  the operator deletes the host (which cascades, including
+  revoking the bearer hash) and re-runs the install command.
+
+## Repo credentials
+
+This is the credential that ultimately matters for backup
+integrity. restic-manager keeps two slots per host:
+
+- **The everyday credential** (`host_credentials.kind = ''`).
+  Append-only-friendly: this is the one your backup schedule
+  uses. It can write but not delete or forget.
+- **The admin credential** (`host_credentials.kind = 'admin'`).
+  Has full delete rights. Only pushed to the agent transiently
+  while a `prune` or `forget` job is dispatching, and discarded
+  by the agent after the job ends.
+
+### Encryption flow
+
+1. Operator types the credential into the UI or the install form.
+2. Server AEAD-encrypts the cred (`crypto.AEAD.Encrypt`) using the
+   key in `RM_SECRET_KEY_FILE`. The plaintext is dropped from
+   memory.
+3. Encrypted blob is stored in `host_credentials.cred_blob`.
+4. When the agent connects, the server decrypts the blob and
+   sends the **plaintext** down the WebSocket inside a
+   `config.update` envelope.
+5. The agent stores the plaintext in its in-memory secrets store
+   for the lifetime of the process; it's reloaded fresh on every
+   server-side push.
+6. When a job runs, the agent merges the credential into the
+   restic environment (`restic.Env.RepoURL` stays bare; the
+   `user:pass@…` form is built only inside `envSlice()` at the
+   moment of `exec.Command`).
+
+The merged form is **never logged**. The slog package's structured
+output gets `restic.RedactURL()` for any URL it has cause to
+mention.
+
+### Why push plaintext over the wire?
+
+The transport itself is the trust boundary: the WebSocket runs
+inside the same TLS-terminated reverse-proxy connection your
+browser uses, and the agent has already authenticated with its
+bearer token. Re-encrypting the payload on top of that would just
+move the key-management problem somewhere else.
+
+If your reverse proxy isn't TLS-terminated, the deployment is
+already broken — see [Hardening](../security/hardening.md).
+
+## Setup tokens (admin-driven)
+
+When an admin creates a new user, the server mints a one-time
+setup link valid for 1 hour. The hash is stored; the raw token
+is shown to the admin once. The user opens the link, sets a
+password, and is dropped into a session. Expired tokens are
+swept on the alert engine's 60s tick.
+
+Same pattern for enrolment tokens: the raw token only exists in
+memory at mint time, and the install snippet is the operator's
+only chance to capture it. If you lose it, regenerate via the
+**Add host** page (NS-02).

+# Repo maintenance
+
+Backups go in; without maintenance, repos grow forever and
+eventually fall over. restic-manager runs three maintenance
+operations on a per-host cadence:
+
+| Command  | What it does                                                | Default cadence |
+|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|
+| `forget` | Marks snapshots eligible for removal per the retention policy attached to each source group. Cheap; runs append-only. | Daily after the last backup of the day |
+| `prune`  | Reclaims space from the repo. Requires the **admin** credential (write+delete). | Weekly, off-peak |
+| `check`  | Verifies repo integrity. Sub-options surface lock state. | Weekly, with `--read-data-subset N%` to sample pack files |
+
+A new field on each host row, `host_repo_maintenance`, holds the
+cron expressions and last-fire anchors. The maintenance ticker on
+the server runs every 60s, finds hosts whose next-fire is due,
+and dispatches the right command. The agent's local cron is
+**only** for backups.
+
+## Why server-side and not agent-side?
+
+The agent's cron knows about backups because backups are
+per-source-group. Maintenance is per-repo, not per-source-group,
+so doing it server-side keeps the per-host wiring simple:
+
+- One ticker, not N agent crons to keep in sync.
+- Cancelling a maintenance dispatch is just "don't dispatch the
+  next one" — no agent-side state to clean up.
+- Skipping offline hosts is trivial (no queue; only scheduled
+  *backups* queue into `pending_runs`).
+
+## Forget and the multi-group payload
+
+A single `forget` job can target several source groups at once.
+The wire envelope (`ForgetGroups`) carries one entry per group,
+each with its retention policy. The agent runs N
+`restic forget --tag <name> --keep-...` invocations in sequence,
+streams their output, and reports a single terminal status.
+
+## Prune and the admin credential
+
+Prune mutates the repo. The everyday append-only credential
+**cannot** prune — that's the whole point of append-only.
+restic-manager keeps a second slot per host (`kind = 'admin'`)
+for the credential that can.
+
+When a prune is dispatched (cadence-driven or operator-driven):
+
+1. Server pushes the admin credential to the agent in a fresh
+   `config.update`.
+2. Agent runs `restic prune` with the merged credential.
+3. Job finishes; agent discards the admin credential from its
+   in-memory secrets store.
+
+The server never logs the merged URL (see
+[Credentials](./credentials.md)).
+
+## Check and lock state
+
+`restic check` warns about stale locks when it finds them. The
+agent ships every check's output back as a `repo.stats` envelope
+and a stream of log lines; if a stale lock is detected, the
+**Repo** page surfaces a banner with an **Unlock** button. The
+operator-only `unlock` command runs `restic unlock` and clears
+the banner.
+
+`unlock` has no cadence — it's a manual action, never automatic.
+Auto-unlocking would mask the cause (probably a previously
+crashed long-running operation) and risk corrupting an
+operation the operator has merely lost track of.
+
+## Repo stats
+
+After every backup, check, prune, and unlock, the agent runs
+`restic stats --json --mode raw-data` and ships the result as a
+`repo.stats` envelope. The server stores this in
+`host_repo_stats` (latest only) and `host_repo_stats_history`
+(one row per host per day, last-write-wins per column — a
+prune-only patch never nulls a backup-time size).
+
+The host detail page surfaces:
+
+- Total size + raw size in the vitals strip.
+- Last-check timestamp + colour-coded status.
+- Last-prune timestamp.
+- 30/90-day repo size trend chart.

+# Schedules and source groups
+
+Two related but separable ideas:
+
+- A **source group** is a named bundle of "what to back up":
+  include paths, exclude patterns, retention policy, retry
+  configuration, optional pre/post hooks. The group's name is
+  used as the restic snapshot tag, so retention can target it
+  with `restic forget --tag <name>`.
+- A **schedule** is a cron expression that, when it fires,
+  triggers a backup of one or more source groups on a host.
+
+Decoupling them means you can have one schedule covering several
+groups (e.g. `0 1 * * *` running both `system` and `data`), and
+each group has its own retention without duplicating policy
+across schedules.
+
+## Source group anatomy
+
+```yaml
+name: data
+includes:
+  - /var/lib/postgresql
+  - /home
+excludes:
+  - /home/*/.cache
+  - /home/*/Downloads
+retention:
+  keep_last: 7
+  keep_daily: 14
+  keep_weekly: 4
+  keep_monthly: 6
+retry_max: 3
+retry_backoff_seconds: 600
+pre_hook: |
+  pg_dump -U postgres -F c -f /var/lib/postgresql/dumps/all.dump
+post_hook: |
+  rm -f /var/lib/postgresql/dumps/all.dump
+```
+
+### Conflict detection
+
+If your retention policy says `keep_hourly: 24` but no schedule
+points at this group sub-daily, the UI surfaces a
+**conflict-dimension banner** ("`hourly` won't be honoured —
+no schedule fires more often than once a day"). The flag is
+stored on the source group (`conflict_dimension`) and refreshed
+whenever a schedule or group changes.
+
+### Hooks
+
+`pre_hook` and `post_hook` run on the agent host inside
+`/bin/sh -c` (`cmd.exe /C` on Windows). Output is streamed back
+to the live job log as `hook(<phase>): …` lines.
+
+- A non-zero `pre_hook` exit aborts the backup.
+- `post_hook` always runs, with `RM_JOB_STATUS=succeeded|failed`
+  in the environment. Use this for cleanup that must happen
+  whether the backup worked or not.
+- Hooks only run for `kind=backup` jobs. They do not run for
+  `forget`, `prune`, `check`, etc.
+- AEAD-encrypted at rest at the HTTP layer; the agent receives
+  plaintext over the WS channel.
+
+A "host default" pair of hooks lives on the host itself; a
+source group's own hooks override them when set.
+
+## Schedule anatomy
+
+```yaml
+cron: "0 2 * * *"
+enabled: true
+source_group_ids:
+  - <gid for "data">
+  - <gid for "system">
+```
+
+Slim by design: a schedule says **when** and **which groups**.
+Everything else (paths, retention, hooks) lives on the groups.
+
+The agent's local cron fires the schedule. If the WebSocket is
+down at fire time, the server queues the firing into
+`pending_runs` and drains it on the next agent reconnect — a
+short network blip won't lose the backup.
+
+### Last / next run
+
+The schedules tab shows "next" (computed by parsing the cron
+expression with `robfig/cron/v3`) and "last" (the latest
+`actor_kind=schedule` job in the `jobs` table) for every
+schedule. The dashboard host row also surfaces `next 12h ago/from
+now` when a single covering schedule is the run-now candidate.
+
+## Bandwidth limits
+
+Two places set restic's `--limit-upload` / `--limit-download`:
+
+1. **Host-wide caps** on the host row (`bandwidth_up_kbps`,
+   `bandwidth_down_kbps`). Pushed to the agent on hello and
+   after `PUT /api/hosts/{id}/bandwidth`. Apply to every restic
+   invocation on the host.
+2. **Per-job overrides** on the per-source-group Run-now form.
+   Win over host caps for the lifetime of that one job.
+
+If neither is set, restic runs unthrottled.

+# Enrolling your first host
+
+The control plane only knows about hosts you've explicitly
+enrolled. Two paths exist:
+
+1. **Token-based enrolment** — admin generates a token, pastes it
+   into an install command on the host. The host appears immediately,
+   already mapped to the desired repo.
+2. **Announce-and-approve** — the agent runs without a token,
+   "announces" itself to the server, and a human in the UI accepts
+   the announcement.
+
+Token-based is the default and what most operators want; the
+announce flow exists for the case where you can't easily paste a
+secret onto the host (auto-imaged endpoints, scripted bring-ups
+from a config repo).
+
+## Token-based enrolment
+
+### From the UI
+
+1. Click **+ Add host** on the dashboard.
+2. Fill in the hostname, the restic repo URL, and the repo
+   credentials. The credentials are AEAD-encrypted at the server
+   immediately; what you paste is what the agent receives.
+3. Optionally pick the initial source paths — these become the
+   first source group on the host.
+4. Submit. The server mints a one-time token and shows you a copy-
+   pasteable install snippet.
+
+### On the host (Linux)
+
+```sh
+curl -fsSL https://restic.example.com/install/install.sh | \
+    sudo RM_SERVER=https://restic.example.com \
+         RM_ENROL_TOKEN=<token> \
+         bash
+```
+
+The script:
+
+1. Detects architecture (`amd64` or `arm64`).
+2. Downloads the agent binary from `/agent/binary?os=…&arch=…`.
+3. Drops the systemd unit at
+   `/etc/systemd/system/restic-manager-agent.service`.
+4. Runs the agent in `-enrol` mode, which posts the token and
+   stores the persistent bearer it gets back.
+5. Enables and starts the unit.
+
+Within seconds the host should appear on the dashboard as
+**online**.
+
+### On the host (Windows)
+
+```pwsh
+$env:RM_SERVER  = "https://restic.example.com"
+$env:RM_ENROL_TOKEN = "<token>"
+iwr -useb $env:RM_SERVER/install/install.ps1 | iex
+```
+
+Equivalent shape: registers a Windows service via the SCM
+(see P2-16 for details), runs `-enrol`, starts the service.
+
+## Recovering a lost token
+
+Tokens are single-use and short-lived (1h). If you closed the tab
+before pasting the install command, head to the **Add host** page —
+outstanding tokens are listed there with a **Regenerate** button.
+Regenerating revokes the old token's hash and mints a fresh raw
+token while preserving the original repo credentials and initial
+paths. (NS-02 in `tasks.md` if you want the design rationale.)
+
+## Announce-and-approve
+
+If the host can reach the server but you don't want to paste a
+secret on it, run the agent in `-announce` mode:
+
+```sh
+restic-manager-agent -announce \
+                     -server https://restic.example.com \
+                     -hostname myhost
+```
+
+The host appears in the **Pending hosts** panel on the dashboard
+with its hostname, OS, arch, and the source IP that announced it.
+Click **Accept**, fill in the repo URL + credentials, and the
+server pushes the bearer over the still-open WebSocket. No
+back-and-forth round trip.
+
+If you don't accept within an hour the announcement is swept.
+
+## What happens on the agent
+
+After enrolment, the agent:
+
+1. Connects via WebSocket to `/ws/agent` with its bearer token.
+2. Sends a `hello` envelope with its OS, arch, agent version,
+   restic version, and protocol version.
+3. Receives a `config.update` carrying its encrypted repo
+   credentials and any source-group paths.
+4. Sits idle, sending a heartbeat every 30s. Operator-driven
+   "Run now" actions arrive as `command.run` envelopes; scheduled
+   jobs are driven by the agent's local cron.
+
+## Auto-init of the repository
+
+The first time a backup runs, the agent invokes `restic init`
+against the repo you configured at enrolment. If the repo already
+exists (`config file already exists`) the agent treats it as a
+success and proceeds. The host's repo status (`unknown` →
+`ready` / `init_failed`) is surfaced under the vitals strip on
+the host detail page; if init fails, save fresh credentials in
+the **Repo** tab to retry.

+# Installing the server
+
+The reference deployment is a single Docker container fronted by
+your existing reverse proxy. The image bundles the server binary,
+the cross-compiled agent binaries, and the install scripts.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Linux host with Docker and Docker Compose.
+- A reverse proxy in front (Caddy, nginx, Traefik) terminating
+  TLS on a public hostname. The server itself is HTTP-only by
+  design — see [Reverse proxy](./reverse-proxy.md) for why.
+- A persistent volume for the server's data directory.
+
+## Quick start
+
+The reference compose file lives at
+[`deploy/docker-compose.yml`](https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/src/branch/main/deploy/docker-compose.yml):
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  restic-manager:
+    image: gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager:${RM_VERSION:-latest}
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    environment:
+      RM_LISTEN: ":8080"
+      RM_DATA_DIR: "/data"
+      RM_BASE_URL: "https://restic.example.com"
+      # Trust your reverse proxy's CIDR so X-Forwarded-* are honoured.
+      RM_TRUSTED_PROXY: "10.0.0.0/8"
+    volumes:
+      - rm-data:/data
+    ports:
+      # Bind localhost only — your reverse proxy is the public face.
+      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
+
+volumes:
+  rm-data:
+```
+
+Bring it up:
+
+```sh
+docker compose up -d
+docker compose logs -f restic-manager
+```
+
+The first run prints a one-time **bootstrap token** to the log. Use
+it within an hour or it expires; if you miss the window the
+container print it again on next start as long as no admin user
+exists.
+
+## First-run admin setup
+
+Open `https://restic.example.com/bootstrap` (or whatever your
+public URL is). Paste the bootstrap token, pick a username and a
+password (≥ 12 characters), and submit. You'll land in the
+dashboard logged in as the new admin.
+
+If you'd rather curl it, the equivalent is:
+
+```sh
+curl -X POST https://restic.example.com/api/bootstrap \
+     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+     -d '{"token":"<token-from-log>","username":"admin","password":"<≥12 chars>"}'
+```
+
+## Backing up the secret key
+
+Inside the data volume, `secret.key` holds the AEAD key used to
+encrypt every credential at rest. **Back it up separately from
+the database.** Without it, encrypted credentials in the database
+are unrecoverable; you'd have to re-enrol every host.
+
+A simple working approach: copy `secret.key` to your password
+manager or to a separately-backed-up secrets vault the day you
+install. It doesn't change.
+
+## Updating the server
+
+```sh
+# Pin a new version in your compose file (.env or docker-compose.yml),
+# then:
+docker compose pull
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Migrations run automatically on startup; the server will refuse to
+start if a migration fails (better to bail than to half-migrate).

+# Running behind a reverse proxy
+
+The restic-manager server is HTTP-only by design. TLS termination,
+public hostname, ACME, HSTS, and edge-level rate limiting all
+belong to a reverse proxy you already operate outside this project.
+
+## What the proxy must forward
+
+The server reads four headers when (and only when) the immediate
+peer matches `RM_TRUSTED_PROXY`:
+
+| Header                 | Value                                              | Why |
+|------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|-----|
+| `X-Forwarded-For`      | The original client IP                             | Rate-limit keys, audit log entries, OIDC redirect-URI checks. |
+| `X-Forwarded-Proto`    | `https`                                            | Used for absolute URLs (e.g. OIDC redirect URIs). |
+| `Host`                 | The public hostname clients use                    | Cookies are scoped to this; `RM_BASE_URL` must match. |
+| `Connection` / `Upgrade` | Pass through unchanged                           | `/ws/agent` and `/api/jobs/{id}/stream` are WebSockets; without `Upgrade: websocket` they fail. |
+
+Set `RM_TRUSTED_PROXY` to the CIDR (or comma-separated list of
+CIDRs) the proxy connects from. Anything outside that range has
+its `X-Forwarded-*` headers ignored, so a stray request that
+bypasses the proxy can't spoof the client IP.
+
+## Caddy
+
+```caddyfile
+restic.example.com {
+    encode zstd gzip
+    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 {
+        header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Caddy adds `X-Forwarded-For` / `X-Forwarded-Proto` automatically
+and passes WebSocket headers through by default, so this is the
+whole config.

+# restic-manager
+
+restic-manager is a self-hosted, browser-based, single-pane-of-glass
+for managing [restic](https://restic.net) backups across a fleet of
+Linux and Windows endpoints. It's designed for **small fleets** —
+the original target was twelve endpoints — and **one operator**.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Centralised view of every endpoint's last backup, repo size,
+  snapshot count, and recent jobs.
+- Trigger any restic operation remotely (`backup`, `forget`, `prune`,
+  `check`, `unlock`, `snapshots`, `stats`, `diff`, `restore`).
+- Per-host backup schedules with source groups (named bundles of
+  paths + retention policy).
+- Live job log streamed to the browser; downloadable as text or NDJSON.
+- Restore wizard with snapshot tree browse + path selection.
+- Repo-level health surfacing (size, raw size, last-check, lock
+  state) plus a 30/90-day size trend.
+- Alerting over webhook, ntfy, or SMTP.
+- Cross-platform agent (Linux + Windows).
+- Append-only-credential-friendly with a separate admin credential
+  for forget/prune.
+
+## What it isn't
+
+- **Not a SaaS.** Single-instance, single-tenant, by design.
+- **Not a replacement for restic** — it's a control plane. The agent
+  shells out to a real `restic` binary.
+- **Not highly available.** SQLite, single process; if you need
+  HA backups, you're shopping in the wrong aisle.
+- **Not a multi-protocol backup tool.** restic only.
+
+## How it fits together
+
+```

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+The control plane is a Go binary that runs in Docker. Each endpoint
+runs a small Go agent that holds an outbound WebSocket to the
+control plane. Backup data flows directly between the agent and the
+restic repository — the control plane never sees a snapshot byte.
+
+## Where to start
+
+- [Installing the server](./getting-started/install.md) walks
+  through the Docker-based reference deployment.
+- [Enrolling your first host](./getting-started/enrolling-hosts.md)
+  covers the install scripts and the announce-and-approve flow.
+- [Architecture](./concepts/architecture.md) is the right read if
+  you want to know why something is the way it is before running
+  the install.
+
+## Project status
+
+Pre-1.0 but feature-complete for the original use case. Phases
+0–4 are landed (MVP, scheduling, restore, RBAC + OIDC); Phase 5
+(this docs site, contributor onboarding, end-to-end CI) is in
+flight. See [`tasks.md`](https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/src/branch/main/tasks.md)

+# Alerts and notifications
+
+restic-manager raises alerts on conditions that need human
+attention. The alert engine evaluates rules on a 60s tick and
+on every job-finished / host-online event.
+
+## Built-in alert kinds
+
+| Kind                | Trigger | Severity |
+|---------------------|---------|----------|
+| `backup_failed`     | A backup job ends in `failed` or `cancelled` | warning |
+| `forget_failed`     | A forget job ends in `failed` | warning |
+| `prune_failed`      | A prune job ends in `failed` | critical |
+| `check_failed`      | A check job ends in `failed` | critical |
+| `agent_offline`     | A host has been offline more than 90s past its heartbeat cadence | warning |
+| `stale_schedule`    | A schedule's "last run" is more than 1.5 × its interval ago | warning |
+| `update_failed`     | An agent self-update returned a fail or didn't reconnect within 90s | warning |
+| `fleet_update_halted`| The rolling fleet-update worker stopped on a failure | critical |
+
+Each alert has a `dedup_key` so re-firing the same condition
+just bumps `last_seen_at` — the operator gets one row per
+condition, not a thousand.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+```
+raised  ──acknowledge──▶  acknowledged  ──resolve──▶  resolved
+   │                          │
+   └────────auto-resolve──────┘
+   (e.g. agent_offline auto-resolves on agent_online)
+```
+
+- **Acknowledge** says "I've seen this, stop notifying about it".
+- **Resolve** says "the underlying condition is gone".
+- Some alerts auto-resolve when the condition clears
+  (`agent_offline` is the canonical example).
+
+## Notification channels
+
+Configure under **Settings → Notifications**. Each channel can
+subscribe to all alerts or filter by severity.
+
+### Webhook
+
+Posts a JSON envelope to a URL of your choice. Useful for
+piping into Slack via an Incoming Webhook URL or into your own
+alerting tooling.
+
+### ntfy
+
+Pushes a plain-text alert to an [ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh/)
+topic. Configure the topic URL; optional bearer token if you
+self-host with auth.
+
+### SMTP
+
+Plain SMTP (with optional TLS). Configure host, port,
+username, password, and the recipient list.
+
+## Test fire
+
+Each channel exposes a **Test fire** button that dispatches a
+single synthetic alert through the channel without touching the
+alert engine. Use this when you've added a channel and want to
+verify connectivity before the next real failure happens.
+
+## What gets logged
+
+Every alert raise / acknowledge / resolve writes an audit log
+entry. The audit log UI at **Settings → Audit log** filters by
+user, action, target, and time range — useful for the
+post-incident "who clicked acknowledge on the prune-failure
+alert" question.

+# Backups and restores
+
+## Running a backup
+
+Three ways to trigger one:
+
+1. **Scheduled** — the agent's local cron fires at the time set
+   on the schedule.
+2. **Run-now** — operator clicks **Run now** on the host detail
+   right rail. Posts to `/hosts/{id}/run-backup` (defaults to all
+   source groups) or to a per-group form for finer control.
+3. **API** — `POST /api/hosts/{id}/jobs` with the appropriate
+   payload. Same audit + dispatch path.
+
+In every case the server creates a `jobs` row, broadcasts a
+`command.run` to the host, and lands the operator on the live
+job log page (HTMX `HX-Redirect`).
+
+## Cancelling a job
+
+Any running job — backup, forget, prune, restore, anything —
+exposes a **Cancel** button on its detail page. The server
+broadcasts `command.cancel`, and the agent kills the running
+restic subprocess via context cancel: SIGTERM first, SIGKILL
+after a 5s grace (`cmd.Cancel` + `cmd.WaitDelay`). On Windows the
+SIGTERM step is replaced with `os.Kill` because Windows can't
+deliver SIGTERM. Result: a cancelled job lands as `cancelled`
+within a couple of hundred milliseconds.
+
+## Restore wizard
+
+Restoring a file or path goes through a four-step wizard at
+`/hosts/{id}/restore`:
+
+1. **Pick a snapshot.** Search by id or by date; the page is
+   pre-populated when you launched the wizard from a snapshot row.
+2. **Browse the snapshot tree.** Lazy-loaded children via the
+   `MsgTreeList` synchronous WS RPC; results are cached
+   per-wizard-session for 30 minutes. Pick the absolute paths
+   you want.
+3. **Choose a target.** Either **In place** (overwrites the
+   live filesystem; requires you to type the hostname to
+   confirm) or **New directory** (default
+   `$HOME/rm-restore/<job-id>/`; agent expands `$HOME` /
+   `${HOME}` / `~/` and creates the directory chain).
+4. **Review and submit.** Server mints a job, dispatches
+   `command.run` with a `RestorePayload`, and `HX-Redirect`s to
+   the live job log.
+
+`--no-ownership` is gated on restic ≥ 0.17 (the flag was added
+in that release). Hosts running 0.16 don't get the flag and
+restore as the running user instead.
+
+## Snapshot diff
+
+Two snapshot ids in the **Diff** form on the host detail page →
+a `JobDiff` job that runs `restic diff <a> <b>`. Output streams
+to the standard live job log. Useful when investigating a
+suspiciously-sized backup.
+
+## Job log artefacts
+
+Every job's log is persisted in `job_logs` (one row per line),
+not just streamed in-memory. That gives you:
+
+- A live view at `/jobs/{id}` while the job runs.
+- Two download formats from the same page header dropdown:
+  - **txt** — one line per row, `HH:MM:SS.mmm  TAG  payload`.
+  - **ndjson** — one self-contained JSON object per line
+    (`{seq, ts, stream, payload}`), perfect for `jq`.
+
+Downloads work whether the job is running or finished —
+the source is the DB, not the live socket.

+# Observability with Prometheus
+
+restic-manager can expose a Prometheus scrape endpoint at
+`GET /metrics`. The endpoint is **opt-in** — without an explicit
+auth gate it isn't even mounted, so a forgotten config can't
+accidentally publish fleet state.
+
+The full reference lives at
+[`docs/prometheus.md`](https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/src/branch/main/docs/prometheus.md);
+the short version follows.
+
+## Enable the endpoint
+
+Set at least one of:
+
+- `RM_METRICS_TOKEN` — `Authorization: Bearer <token>` required.
+- `RM_METRICS_TRUSTED_CIDR` — restricts source IPs (comma-CIDR).
+
+Both ANDed when both set. Constant-time token compare; CIDR
+honours `X-Forwarded-For` only when the immediate hop matches
+`RM_TRUSTED_PROXY`.
+
+## Metrics emitted
+
+- **Server gauges**: `rm_hosts_total`, `rm_hosts_online`,
+  `rm_active_alerts{severity}`, `rm_build_info{...}`.
+- **Per-host gauges**: `rm_host_agent_online`,
+  `rm_host_last_backup_timestamp_seconds`,
+  `rm_host_last_backup_success`, `rm_host_repo_size_bytes`,
+  `rm_host_snapshot_count`, `rm_host_open_alerts`,
+  `rm_host_repo_status`.
+- **Histogram**:
+  `rm_job_duration_seconds{kind,status,le=…}` (buckets
+  `1, 5, 30, 60, 300, 1800, 3600, 21600, 86400, +Inf`).
+
+In-memory histogram only. Prometheus persists the scrapes; if
+you need durable history at hourly resolution that's
+Prometheus's job.
+
+## Sample Grafana dashboard
+
+[`deploy/grafana/restic-manager-dashboard.json`](https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/src/branch/main/deploy/grafana/restic-manager-dashboard.json)
+imports through Grafana's **+ → Import → Upload JSON file**.
+Six panels:
+
+1. Fleet status (online / total).
+2. Open alerts by severity.
+3. Backups failing on most-recent run.
+4. Hosts table — last backup, repo size, snapshots, open alerts.
+5. Repo size over time, one line per host.
+6. Job-duration p95 over a 1h window per kind.
+
+## Alerting
+
+restic-manager already has a built-in alert engine
+([Alerts](./alerts.md)). The dashboard intentionally doesn't
+duplicate it as Prometheus alert rules. If you want
+Prometheus-side alerts on top, write your own based on the
+metrics above — `rm_host_last_backup_success == 0`,
+`time() - rm_host_last_backup_timestamp_seconds > <max age>`,
+or whatever suits your environment.

+# Updating agents
+
+Server updates are a `docker compose pull && up -d` away.
+Agents update via the control plane.
+
+## Single-host update
+
+Each host's detail page shows an **Update agent** button when
+the agent's reported version is older than the server's. The
+button:
+
+1. Dispatches a `command.update` to that host.
+2. The agent fetches the appropriate binary from
+   `$RM_SERVER/agent/binary?os=…&arch=…` to
+   `<binary-path>.new`.
+3. Copies the running binary to `<binary-path>.old` (one
+   revision back, in case rollback is needed).
+4. Atomic-renames `.new` over the running binary.
+5. Exits cleanly. systemd's `Restart=always` (or Windows SCM)
+   brings the process back on the new binary.
+
+A 90-second timer on the server side waits for a hello at the
+target version and marks the update succeeded — or, if the
+agent doesn't reconnect at the expected version in time, marks
+the update **failed** and raises an `update_failed` alert.
+
+## Fleet update
+
+The admin-only **Settings → Fleet update** page drives a rolling
+update across every host in the fleet:
+
+- One host at a time.
+- Wait for hello-with-target-version (max 95s).
+- On any host failing, **halt** the rollout, raise a
+  `fleet_update_halted` alert, leave the rest of the fleet on
+  the old version. No surprise mass-failures.
+
+You can cancel an in-progress fleet update; the worker stops
+after the current host finishes.
+
+## TLS and corruption
+
+Updates rely on the reverse proxy's TLS to detect corruption in
+transit. There's no separate sha256 verification step — we
+chose the simpler model on the basis that the same TLS already
+gates every other byte the server hands to the agent.
+
+If you'd like a separate signature step before applying updates,
+that's a future-phase enhancement (see `tasks.md` Phase 6
+candidates).

+| `RM_OIDC_ISSUER`               | OIDC discovery URL (e.g. `https://auth.example.com`). |
+| `RM_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`            | Client ID registered with the IdP. |
+| `RM_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`        | Client secret (or use `RM_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE`). |

+
+If you build with `go build` directly (no Makefile), `Version`

+## What's not on the roadmap
+
+The non-goals list in [`spec.md` §2](https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/src/branch/main/spec.md):
+
+- Replacing restic itself or providing custom repo formats
+- Managing non-restic backup tools
+- Multi-tenancy / SaaS deployment
+- High availability of the control plane (SQLite, single-instance)
+- Mobile-native apps (responsive web only)
+
+If something there is critical to your use case, restic-manager
+isn't the right tool. That's not a closed door — it's a
+deliberate scope decision so the project stays maintainable.

+The full disclosure policy lives in
+[`SECURITY.md`](https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/src/branch/main/SECURITY.md)
+at the repo root. The short version:
+
+- **Don't open a public issue.**
+- Send a Gitea private message to `steve` on
+  <https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk>, or email the address on the
+  maintainer's profile, with a subject like
+  `[SECURITY] restic-manager: <one-line summary>`.
+- Expect an acknowledgement within 3 working days; escalate
+  through the other channel if you don't get one.
+- Default disclosure window is **30 days from confirmed report
+  to public disclosure**, faster if a PoC is already
+  circulating, slower only by mutual agreement.
+
+## What to include
+
+A description of the issue and the impact, the affected
+component (server / agent / install script / docs), the version,
+and reproduction steps. A working PoC is welcome but not
+required — a credible threat model is enough.
+
+## In scope vs. out of scope
+
+See the full policy. Quick highlights:
+
+- **In scope:** server, agent, install scripts, docker image,
+  docker-compose reference, crypto choices, docs that lead to
+  insecure configs.
+- **Out of scope:** restic itself (report upstream), unpatched
+  third-party deps (report upstream first), pre-authenticated
+  admin abuse (admins are designed to have full power), DoS on
+  deployments without the recommended reverse proxy.

+# Hardening checklist
+
+A baseline for new deployments. Most of these are defaults; the
+list is here to make audit easy.
+
+## Server
+
+- [ ] Reverse proxy in front, TLS terminating at the proxy
+      (Caddy/nginx/Traefik).
+- [ ] `RM_TRUSTED_PROXY` set to the proxy's CIDR.
+- [ ] `RM_BASE_URL` matches the public hostname and the cookie
+      scope you want.
+- [ ] `RM_COOKIE_SECURE=true` (the default; only set `false`
+      for local HTTP testing).
+- [ ] HTTP listener bound to **localhost** in the compose file,
+      not `0.0.0.0`. The reverse proxy is the only thing that
+      should reach it.
+- [ ] `secret.key` backed up separately from the database.
+- [ ] Bootstrap token consumed and the printed log line scrubbed
+      from any log archive.
+
+## Authentication
+
+- [ ] Admin user has a password ≥ 12 characters (the floor).
+- [ ] OIDC enabled if you have an IdP — local password auth
+      stays as a break-glass.
+- [ ] Disabled (not deleted) any users who change roles or leave
+      so their session is invalidated immediately.
+- [ ] The last-admin guard isn't tripped — there's always at
+      least one enabled admin user.
+
+## Repo credentials
+
+- [ ] Append-only credential set as the everyday cred for every
+      host.
+- [ ] Admin credential set only where prune cadence is enabled.
+- [ ] No credentials reused across hosts. Each host should have
+      its own credential pair so a single host compromise has a
+      single blast radius.
+- [ ] If using rest-server, `--append-only` flag is on for the
+      everyday user; the prune user is a separate identity.
+
+## Agent
+
+- [ ] Agent runs as `root` (Linux) or `LocalSystem` (Windows)
+      **only when** the source paths require it. Otherwise pin
+      a service user that has read access to what's backed up
+      and nothing else.
+- [ ] systemd unit's sandboxing flags are intact
+      (`NoNewPrivileges`, `Protect*`, `MemoryDenyWriteExecute`).
+- [ ] Agent's config file `/etc/restic-manager/agent.yaml` is
+      mode `0600` and owned by the service user. The bearer
+      token lives in there.
+
+## Operations
+
+- [ ] Alerts wired to a real channel (webhook into Slack,
+      ntfy topic, SMTP) — not just sitting in the UI.
+- [ ] Test-fire each notification channel after configuring.
+- [ ] Audit-log retention is long enough to cover the operator's
+      incident-response window.
+- [ ] Prometheus endpoint, if enabled, gated by token AND CIDR
+      where practical (default is opt-in / off).
+
+## Recovery
+
+- [ ] A documented procedure for rotating a leaked agent bearer
+      (delete + re-enrol the host).
+- [ ] A test-restore done at least once, end-to-end, before
+      relying on the system in anger.
+- [ ] `secret.key` and the SQLite database covered by separate
+      backup paths so neither alone reconstitutes the other.

+canonical version lives in [`spec.md`](https://gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/src/branch/main/spec.md)

+implementers.

+
+## What we defend against
+
+### Network attacker between operator and server
+
+- HTTPS via the reverse proxy is the only operator-facing surface
+  on a sane deployment.
+- `RM_COOKIE_SECURE=true` (default) means the session cookie
+  refuses to ride a non-HTTPS connection.
+- `RM_TRUSTED_PROXY` gates whether `X-Forwarded-*` is honoured;
+  a bypassing request can't spoof the client IP.
+
+### Compromised agent host
+
+- The agent's bearer token can dispatch commands **only on its
+  own host**. It can't read other hosts' state, dispatch jobs
+  on other hosts, or escalate within the control plane.
+- If you suspect a host compromise:
+  1. Disable the agent's host row from **Hosts → Delete**
+     (cascades the bearer hash).
+  2. Rotate the repo credential at the rest-server / object
+     store side.
+  3. Audit-log lists every action that bearer ever drove.
+
+### DB compromise without the secret key
+
+- Repo credentials are AEAD-encrypted at rest. A DB dump alone
+  doesn't expose them.
+- Agent bearer **hashes** are leaked; that's enough to
+  authenticate as any agent until you revoke. A rotation
+  procedure is just "delete + re-enrol" today.
+- Operator passwords are bcrypt-hashed; OIDC users have no
+  password to leak.
+- Session tokens are hashed; an attacker can't replay a
+  session from a DB dump.
+
+### DB compromise WITH the secret key
+
+The attacker can decrypt every credential. Treat
+`secret.key` with the same care as a password manager database.
+Back it up to a separate vault, not to the same Docker volume
+as the database.
+
+### Forget/prune as a DoS vector
+
+- The everyday backup credential cannot prune (append-only).
+- The admin credential is only pushed to the agent at the
+  moment of dispatch and discarded after the job ends.
+- Compromise of a single agent host does **not** grant prune
+  rights — at worst the attacker gets fresh write access until
+  the credential is rotated.
+
+### Operator-side typo or bad copy-paste
+
+- Repo credentials are stored encrypted; mis-typed creds fail
+  fast on the next `restic` invocation rather than silently
+  corrupting state.
+- NS-03 added auto-init: the first dispatched job after creds
+  change runs `restic init`, surfaces the error eagerly under
+  the host's vitals strip if the creds are bad, and resets the
+  host's `repo_status` so the operator can retry without
+  hunting through job logs.
+
+## What we don't defend against
+
+- **Insider threat at the maintainer level.** A malicious
+  maintainer can publish a backdoored container; SBOM /
+  signing infrastructure (Phase 6 candidate) would help here
+  but isn't shipped today.
+- **Supply chain.** We pin module versions (`go.sum`) and
+  pin the Tailwind binary's release tag, but a compromise in
+  one of those upstreams would land here.
+- **Side-channel via restic itself.** A bug in restic that
+  enables snapshot-content disclosure is restic's problem; the
+  control plane doesn't see snapshot bytes either way.
+- **DoS via resource exhaustion** without the recommended
+  reverse-proxy / rate-limit in front. Don't expose the
+  server's HTTP port to the public internet directly.

+# End-to-end test harness
+
+The e2e harness stands up the full production-shaped stack
+(server + agent + rest-server) in Docker Compose and drives it
+through Playwright. CI runs it on every PR; operators can run it
+locally too.
+

+```

+```
+
+## Local run
+
+Prerequisites: Docker + Docker Compose, and `npx` for Playwright.
+
+```sh
+# 1. Build + bring up the stack (server, rest-server, source data).
+docker compose -f e2e/compose.e2e.yml up --build -d server rest-server source-fixture
+
+# 2. Wait for the server, then scrape the bootstrap token from the log.

+
+# 4. Install + run Playwright.
+cd e2e/playwright
+npm install
+npx playwright install --with-deps chromium
+npx playwright test
+```
+
+When the test passes you'll see:
+
+```
+Running 2 tests using 1 worker
+  ✓  smoke: enrol-via-announce → backup › happy path completes in under a minute (47s)
+  ✓  smoke: scrape /metrics › metrics endpoint exposes the host gauge (180ms)
+
+  2 passed (47.5s)
+```
+
+Tear-down:
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f e2e/compose.e2e.yml down -v
+```
+
+`-v` removes the named volumes too — important between runs because
+the rest-server volume holds an initialised repo and the
+agent-config volume holds a stale bearer.
+
+## What the test exercises
+
+1. **Bootstrap.** Posts the admin-creation request to
+   `/api/bootstrap` with the token scraped from the server log.
+2. **Login (UI).** Drives the login form via Playwright; verifies
+   the dashboard loads with a session cookie set.
+3. **Pending host appears.** Polls the dashboard for the inline
+   accept form generated by the announcing agent; reads the
+   pending-id out of its action URL.
+4. **Accept.** POSTs `/api/pending-hosts/{id}/accept` with the
+   rest-server URL + repo password. The server mints a Host row
+   + bearer + AEAD-encrypted creds and pushes the bearer down
+   the still-open pending WebSocket.
+5. **Online + auto-init.** Polls `/api/hosts` until the new host
+   is `status=online`. Auto-init runs as part of this — the
+   first dispatched job after creds save is `restic init`.
+6. **Run backup.** Submits the host detail page's `Run now`
+   form; expects `HX-Redirect` to the live job page.
+7. **Verify.** Polls `/api/hosts` until the host's
+   `last_backup_status` flips to `succeeded`.
+8. **Metrics.** Scrapes `/metrics` and asserts the
+   server-gauge + build-info lines are present (the compose
+   stack opens the endpoint via `RM_METRICS_TRUSTED_CIDR=0.0.0.0/0`).
+
+## CI workflow
+
+[`.gitea/workflows/e2e.yml`](../.gitea/workflows/e2e.yml) runs the
+suite on every PR into `main`. On failure it dumps the last 200
+lines of each container log as a workflow annotation and uploads
+the Playwright HTML report as an artefact.
+
+## When tests fail
+
+- **Pending host never appears.** Agent container probably
+  couldn't reach the server. Check `docker compose logs agent`
+  for connection errors and `docker compose logs server` for
+  any 4xx on `/api/agents/announce`.
+- **Backup hangs in `running`.** The agent shells out to
+  `restic`; check the live job log at
+  `http://127.0.0.1:8080/jobs/<id>` (still up after a
+  failed test as long as you didn't `down -v`).
+- **`RM_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN not set`.** The server log scrape
+  matched the wrong line or the token regex is too tight. The
+  server prints the token on a line starting with `    ` (four
+  spaces) inside a banner; widen the regex if your server log
+  format changes.
+
+## Adding new tests
+
+The harness is intentionally flat — one `*.spec.ts` per
+scenario. Reuse the helpers in `lib/server.ts` and avoid
+duplicating bootstrap / login boilerplate. Heavy fixtures
+(custom users, OIDC IdP) belong in their own compose override
+file rather than complicating `compose.e2e.yml`.

+# Prometheus + Grafana
+
+restic-manager exposes a Prometheus scrape endpoint at `GET /metrics`.
+The endpoint is **opt-in** — it is not mounted at all unless you set
+at least one of the auth gates below. Once enabled, it serves the
+standard `text/plain` exposition format that every Prometheus
+release since 2.x parses without configuration.
+
+A sample Grafana dashboard lives at
+`deploy/grafana/restic-manager-dashboard.json`.
+
+## Enable the endpoint
+
+Two switches, both off by default. If both are set, both must pass
+(token AND source-IP); if only one is set, that gate alone
+authorises a scrape.
+
+| Env var                    | YAML key               | Effect |
+|----------------------------|------------------------|--------|
+| `RM_METRICS_TOKEN`         | `metrics_token`        | Requires `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Compared in constant time. |
+| `RM_METRICS_TRUSTED_CIDR`  | `metrics_trusted_cidrs` (list) | Restricts the source IP to one of the listed CIDRs. Comma-separated in env, list in YAML. Honours `X-Forwarded-For` only when the immediate hop matches `RM_TRUSTED_PROXY`. |
+
+When neither is set, `GET /metrics` returns 404 — the route is not
+registered with the chi router so a forgotten config can't
+accidentally publish fleet state.
+
+### Example: Docker
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  restic-manager:
+    image: gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager:latest
+    environment:
+      RM_METRICS_TOKEN_FILE: /run/secrets/rm_metrics_token
+      RM_METRICS_TRUSTED_CIDR: "10.0.0.0/8"
+    secrets:
+      - rm_metrics_token
+```
+
+(`RM_METRICS_TOKEN_FILE` is not currently supported — set
+`RM_METRICS_TOKEN` directly. The `_FILE` convention is on the
+roadmap.)
+
+## Prometheus scrape config
+
+Drop into your `prometheus.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: restic-manager
+    metrics_path: /metrics
+    scheme: https            # via your reverse proxy
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['restic.example.com']
+    authorization:
+      type: Bearer
+      credentials_file: /etc/prometheus/secrets/rm_metrics_token
+```
+
+If you don't run a TLS-terminating proxy in front, drop `scheme:
+https` (the server is HTTP-only — see `docs/reverse-proxy.md`).
+
+## Metric reference
+
+All names are `rm_`-prefixed. Per-host metrics carry a `host_id`
+label (the stable ULID, immune to renames) and a `host` label
+(the human-readable name).
+
+### Server gauges
+
+| Name                  | Labels                             | Description |

+| `rm_hosts_online`     | —                                  | Number of hosts with `status='online'`. |
+| `rm_active_alerts`    | `severity` ∈ {info, warning, critical} | Open alerts by severity. |
+| `rm_build_info`       | `version, commit, go_version`      | Always 1; pure label-bag for joining. |
+
+### Per-host gauges
+
+| Name                                       | Description |
+|--------------------------------------------|-------------|
+| `rm_host_agent_online`                     | 1 if the agent is currently online, 0 otherwise. |
+| `rm_host_last_backup_timestamp_seconds`    | Unix timestamp of the host's most recent backup. **Omitted** for hosts with no backup yet. |
+| `rm_host_last_backup_success`              | 1 if the most recent backup succeeded, 0 otherwise. **Omitted** for hosts with no backup yet. |
+| `rm_host_repo_size_bytes`                  | Latest reported repo size from `restic stats --mode raw-data`. **Omitted** when unknown. |
+| `rm_host_snapshot_count`                   | Number of restic snapshots known on the host's repo. |
+| `rm_host_open_alerts`                      | Number of currently open alerts attached to this host. |
+| `rm_host_repo_status`                      | Always 1; the `status` label carries `unknown` / `ready` / `init_failed`. |
+
+### Job duration histogram
+
+```
+rm_job_duration_seconds_bucket{kind, status, le}
+rm_job_duration_seconds_sum{kind, status}
+rm_job_duration_seconds_count{kind, status}
+```
+
+`kind` ∈ {backup, forget, prune, check, unlock, restore, diff, init, update}.
+`status` ∈ {succeeded, failed, cancelled}.
+
+Buckets (seconds):
+
+```
+1, 5, 30, 60, 300, 1800, 3600, 21600, 86400, +Inf
+1s   5s  30s  1m  5m   30m   1h    6h    24h
+```
+
+The histogram is in-memory only — values reset on process restart.
+Operators who want durable history should let Prometheus persist
+the scrapes; restic-manager itself is a control plane, not a
+metrics database.

+3. The dashboard's six panels populate from the metrics above:
+   * **Fleet status** — online/total stat panel.
+   * **Open alerts** — by severity.
+   * **Hosts** — per-host table (last backup, repo size, snapshots, alerts).
+   * **Repo size over time** — one line per host.
+   * **Backups failing** — count of hosts whose last backup didn't succeed.
+   * **Job duration p95** — `histogram_quantile(0.95, …)` over a 1h window per kind.
+
+Alerting is intentionally not configured in the dashboard — the
+control plane already has alerts (P3-05) with native channels for
+webhook, ntfy, and SMTP. Re-implementing them in Prometheus would
+just duplicate state. If you do want Prom-side alerts, copy the
+recording rules into your usual location.
+
+## Cardinality
+
+Per scrape: O(hosts) gauge rows + O(kinds × statuses × buckets)
+histogram rows. A 100-host fleet emits roughly 700 host rows + 270
+histogram rows — well below any practical limit. There are no
+`job_id` labels (cardinality bomb avoidance) and no per-source-group
+labels.

+# Threat model
+
+A short, structured walkthrough of the assets restic-manager
+protects, the actors that interact with it, the attack surfaces
+exposed, and the mitigations in place. This document is written for
+operators considering a deployment and for contributors evaluating
+security-sensitive changes. It is **not** a formal certification —
+restic-manager has not been third-party audited.
+
+Last reviewed: **2026-05-09** (against v1.0.0).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Assets
+
+In rough order of sensitivity:
+
+| Asset | Why it matters |
+|---|---|
+| **Restic repository passwords** | Decrypt every backup in the repo. Server holds them encrypted at rest; agents need plaintext at backup-time. |
+| **Repository URLs with embedded credentials** (e.g. `rest:https://user:pass@host/repo`) | Same as above — read access to the repo is leak-equivalent to the password. |
+| **Agent bearer tokens** | Long-lived credentials authenticating each agent → server WS. Compromise lets an attacker impersonate that host (push fake snapshots, ack fake schedule versions, exfiltrate repo creds the server pushes back). |
+| **Server session cookies** | Browser-side session for human operators. Compromise = full UI access at the user's role for the cookie's TTL (24h). |
+| **Database secret key** | Wraps every encrypted-at-rest field (repo creds, agent enrolment payloads). Loss of the file means decryptable backups; rotation requires re-pushing creds to every agent. |
+| **Bootstrap / setup tokens** | One-shot, time-limited; mint admin or invited-user accounts. |
+| **Audit log** | Tamper-evident record of admin actions; read-only via UI. |
+| **Backup data on the wire** | Restic itself encrypts on the agent before sending — see "out of scope". |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Actors
+
+| Actor | Trust |
+|---|---|
+| **Anonymous internet** | Untrusted. Should not reach the server unless proxied behind auth (see deployment guide). |
+| **Authenticated viewer** | Read-only on hosts/jobs/alerts/audit. |
+| **Authenticated operator** | Add/remove hosts, edit schedules, run backups/restores, mint enrolment tokens, ack alerts. |
+| **Authenticated admin** | All of the above plus user management, role changes, fleet update controls, secret-key visibility (no — see below). |
+| **Agent** | Trusted to backup-and-report on its own host only. Cannot read other hosts' creds. Bearer-authenticated. |
+| **Restic backend (rest-server / S3 / B2 / etc.)** | Out of scope for this document — assumed to authenticate the credentials presented and not collude. |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Attack surfaces and mitigations
+
+### 3.1 First-run bootstrap
+
+- **Surface**: `/bootstrap` UI + `/api/bootstrap` JSON endpoint.
+- **Risk**: race between server start and admin creation — an attacker who reaches the server first can claim admin.
+- **Mitigations**:
+  - Bootstrap token printed to stderr exactly once; held in memory, not persisted.
+  - The UI form on `/bootstrap` uses the in-memory token automatically (no token field for the operator to type or expose).
+  - Both surfaces self-disable the moment any user row exists (`CountUsers > 0`).
+  - Token is also blanked from process memory after success (defence in depth).
+- **Residual risk**: if an operator brings up the server on the public internet before reaching the bootstrap page, an attacker reaching `/bootstrap` first wins. **Recommendation**: bring the server up behind an existing trusted network or with the listener bound to `127.0.0.1` until first-run is complete.
+
+### 3.2 Local user accounts
+
+- **Surface**: `/login`, `/api/auth/login`.
+- **Mitigations**: Argon2id password hashing with per-deployment params; constant-time password compare; session-cookie minting via `crypto/rand`; session rows hash-only (raw token only in cookie).
+- **Rate limiting**: Currently not in place at the application layer — the project assumes a reverse proxy enforces login throttling. **Recommendation**: front the server with `caddy`/`nginx` rate-limit rules in production.
+- **Password policy**: 12-character minimum on bootstrap and user-setup paths; no maximum, no rotation, no history. Sufficient for self-hosted ops; tighten in policy if a deployment requires it.
+
+### 3.3 OIDC SSO
+
+- **Surface**: `/auth/oidc/*` — generic OIDC client, JIT user provisioning.
+- **Mitigations**: state + nonce per flow; role mapping is server-configured (claims trusted only to identify the user, not pick role); user-disabled gate runs after IdP success.
+- **Residual risk**: misconfigured role-mapping rules can promote any IdP user to admin. **Recommendation**: review `cfg.OIDC.RoleMappings` carefully.
+
+### 3.4 Agent enrolment
+
+- **Surface**: `/api/agents/enroll` (token-authenticated), `/api/agents/announce` (anonymous, then operator-approves).
+- **Mitigations**:
+  - Token path: one-shot, hashed at rest, 1h TTL; agent receives a fresh long-lived bearer in the response.
+  - Announce path: agent supplies an Ed25519 public key; operator sees a fingerprint to confirm out-of-band before accepting.
+  - Bearer tokens are SHA-256 hashed in the DB.
+- **Residual risk**: an attacker on the network between operator and target host who intercepts the install snippet can enrol *as* the target. The install script must be served over TLS in production (the docker-only deployment defaults to TLS-by-default; bare-metal deployers must configure their own).
+
+### 3.5 Agent → server WebSocket
+
+- **Surface**: persistent WS authenticated by agent bearer.
+- **Mitigations**: bearer is presented per-connection; server pins the agent fingerprint for the announce flow; messages are envelope-typed and rejected if shape-invalid.
+- **No payload-level signing** today — TLS is the integrity boundary. A man-in-the-middle with a valid cert chain could swap messages. **Recommendation**: pin the server cert via `RM_SERVER_CERT_PIN_SHA256` if running over a network you don't fully control.
+
+### 3.6 Repo credential lifecycle
+
+- Stored encrypted at rest under the AEAD secret key.
+- Pushed to the agent over the WS on hello, on creds change, and on demand.
+- Agent persists them encrypted (per-host secret key derived from a value known only to the agent).
+- Logged surfaces use `restic.RedactURL()` to strip `user:pass@` from URLs before they reach `slog`.
+- Plaintext form is constructed only at `exec.Command` time inside the agent, never stored on a struct field that could be slogged.
+
+### 3.7 Restore
+
+- Operators can restore to any path the agent (running as root) can write.
+- Cross-host restore (host A's snapshot → host C) is **deferred** — see F-01. The current single-host restore does not require granting any cross-host privileges.
+
+### 3.8 Audit log
+
+- Append-only writes from the application; SQLite enforces no schema-level immutability.
+- A compromise of the SQLite file (via OS-level access) can edit the audit log. **Recommendation**: ship audit entries to an append-only sink (syslog / Loki / Splunk) if tamper-evidence beyond the OS boundary is required.
+
+### 3.9 Self-update channel (P6)
+
+- Agents fetch new binaries via the WS transport from the server.
+- Binaries are signature-checked by the agent against a key embedded in the existing agent (see `internal/fleetupdate/`).
+- **Residual risk**: a server compromise lets the attacker push code to every agent (running as root). The signing-key compromise window is the same as the server compromise window because both live on the server. Splitting the signing key onto a separate signer is future work (not v1).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Out of scope
+
+- **Restic itself** — its repository format, encryption, and backend protocol are upstream-trusted.
+- **The host OS** — root compromise of a host obviously compromises that host's backups.
+- **The backup destination** — restic-manager assumes the rest-server / object-store / SFTP target enforces its own auth.
+- **Side-channel attacks** on the server process (RAM dump, process tracing).
+- **Physical access** to the server's disk.
