steve 1d36dcd668 v1 readiness: CHANGELOG + threat model + first-run onboarding polish
- CHANGELOG.md: Keep-a-Changelog format, v1.0.0 entry summarising
  what each phase delivered.
- docs/threat-model.md: structured walkthrough of assets, actors,
  attack surfaces and residual risks; reviewed against v1.0.0.
- cmd/server/main.go: at first-run startup, print a clickable
  $RM_BASE_URL/bootstrap URL alongside the existing one-shot
  bootstrap token (or a fallback hint when RM_BASE_URL is unset).
- web/templates/pages/bootstrap.html: visible "Minimum 12 characters"
  hint under the password field so the rule is communicated
  before the operator submits.
- tasks.md: close X-01, X-04, X-05 with notes.

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).
