P3 Alerts Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Build the alerts subsystem (engine + three notification channels + UI) per docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-p3-alerts-design.md. End state: a hardcoded six-rule engine raises alerts on real events; webhook / ntfy / SMTP channels notify on raise/ack/resolve; operators see alerts at /alerts and configure channels at /settings/notifications.

Architecture: Three loosely-coupled units behind one AlertEngine goroutine — event hooks fed by existing call sites (MarkJobFinished, offline sweeper, ws hello), 60s ticker for stale-schedule + auto-resolution, fan-out via notification.Hub. All persisted state in two new tables (notification_channels, notification_log) plus one new column on the existing alerts table.

Tech Stack: Go 1.25, modernc.org/sqlite, chi router, html/template, AEAD-encrypted blobs (existing crypto.AEAD), net/smtp + crypto/tls for SMTP, net/http for webhook + ntfy.

Slice A — Schema groundwork

Task A1: Migration 0013 — alerts.last_seen_at

Files:

  • Create: internal/store/migrations/0013_alerts_last_seen.sql

  • Test: internal/store/migrate_test.go (existing — gains a small assertion)

  • Step 1: Write the failing test

Append to internal/store/migrate_test.go:

func TestMigration0013AlertsLastSeen(t *testing.T) {
	t.Parallel()
	dir := t.TempDir()
	st, err := Open(context.Background(), filepath.Join(dir, "rm.db"))
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("open: %v", err)
	}
	defer st.Close()

	// Column must exist after migration. Best signal: PRAGMA table_info.
	rows, err := st.DB().Query(`SELECT name FROM pragma_table_info('alerts')`)
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("pragma: %v", err)
	}
	defer rows.Close()
	cols := map[string]bool{}
	for rows.Next() {
		var n string
		_ = rows.Scan(&n)
		cols[n] = true
	}
	if !cols["last_seen_at"] {
		t.Fatalf("alerts.last_seen_at not present after migration; cols=%v", cols)
	}
}
  • Step 2: Run to verify it fails
go test ./internal/store/ -run TestMigration0013AlertsLastSeen -count=1

Expected: FAIL — alerts.last_seen_at not present.

  • Step 3: Write the migration

internal/store/migrations/0013_alerts_last_seen.sql:

-- 0013_alerts_last_seen.sql
--
-- Add alerts.last_seen_at to support open-alert dedup with
-- recurrence-tracking. The engine bumps this column on every tick
-- where a rule still matches an existing open alert, so the UI can
-- render "still happening · Ns ago" without sending a fresh
-- notification.
--
-- Column-level ALTER per CLAUDE.md (no rebuild — alerts has inbound
-- FK from acknowledged_by → users; rebuild would risk cascade).
-- Backfill last_seen_at = created_at for any pre-existing rows so
-- the column is non-null in practice (stays nullable in the schema
-- for forwards-compat with rows that haven't been touched yet).

ALTER TABLE alerts ADD COLUMN last_seen_at TEXT;
UPDATE alerts SET last_seen_at = created_at WHERE last_seen_at IS NULL;
  • Step 4: Run test to verify it passes
go test ./internal/store/ -run TestMigration0013AlertsLastSeen -count=1

Expected: PASS.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add internal/store/migrations/0013_alerts_last_seen.sql internal/store/migrate_test.go
git commit -m "store: migration 0013 — alerts.last_seen_at"

Task A2: Migration 0014 — notification_channels + notification_log

Files:

  • Create: internal/store/migrations/0014_notifications.sql

		var n int
		if err := st.DB().QueryRow(
			`SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name=?`, want,
		).Scan(&n); err != nil {
			t.Fatalf("scan: %v", err)
		}
		if n != 1 {
			t.Errorf("table %q missing after migration", want)
		}
	}

	// Sanity: kind CHECK accepts all three v1 kinds.
	for _, k := range []string{"webhook", "ntfy", "smtp"} {
		_, err := st.DB().Exec(
			`INSERT INTO notification_channels (id, kind, name, config, created_at, updated_at)
			 VALUES (?, ?, ?, x'00', '2026-01-01T00:00:00Z', '2026-01-01T00:00:00Z')`,

  • Step 2: Run to verify it fails
go test ./internal/store/ -run TestMigration0014NotificationsTables -count=1

Expected: FAIL — both tables missing.

  • Step 3: Write the migration

internal/store/migrations/0014_notifications.sql:

-- 0014_notifications.sql
--
-- Notification channels (operator-configured destinations: webhook,
-- ntfy, SMTP) and the dispatch log. Both are net-new — no rebuild
-- pattern needed.
--
-- config is an AEAD-encrypted JSON blob. Per-kind shape lives in
-- internal/notification/{webhook,ntfy,smtp}.go. The CHECK keeps wire
-- consistency — adding a new kind requires a follow-up migration
-- (forces the implementer to think about it).

Task A3: Alerts store API — RaiseOrTouch, Acknowledge, Resolve, AutoResolve, ListAlerts, GetAlert

Files:

  • Modify: internal/store/alerts.go

  • Test: internal/store/alerts_test.go (create)

  • Modify: internal/store/types.go (extend Alert with LastSeenAt *time.Time — check current shape first)

  • Step 1: Extend the Alert type

Read internal/store/types.go for the existing Alert struct. Add LastSeenAt *time.Time after CreatedAt. The whole struct should look like:

type Alert struct {
	ID             string
	HostID         *string
	Kind           string

Slice B — Notification channels (transport)

Task B1: Channel interface + payload type

Files:

  • Create: internal/notification/payload.go

  • Create: internal/notification/channel.go

  • Step 1: Define the payload + interface

internal/notification/payload.go:

// Package notification owns the fan-out of alert events to operator-
// configured channels. Three channels in v1: webhook, ntfy, smtp.
// Each channel implements Channel.Send for one Payload at a time;
// the Hub orchestrates fan-out, persists to notification_log.
package notification

import "time"

// Event identifies the lifecycle hook this notification is for.
type Event string

const (
	EventRaised       Event = "alert.raised"
	EventAcknowledged Event = "alert.acknowledged"
	EventResolved     Event = "alert.resolved"
	EventTest         Event = "alert.test"
)

// Payload is the per-event blob every channel renders into its own
// shape. Severity maps to channel-specific priority (ntfy) or stays
// in the body (webhook/smtp).
type Payload struct {
	Event      Event     // alert.raised | … | alert.test
	AlertID    string    // ULID
	Severity   string    // info | warning | critical
	Kind       string    // backup_failed | …
	HostID     string
	HostName   string
	Message    string
	RaisedAt   time.Time
	Link       string    // Absolute URL to /alerts/<id>; built by Hub
}

internal/notification/channel.go:

package notification

import "context"

// Channel is the per-kind transport. Implementations live in
// webhook.go / ntfy.go / smtp.go. Send must respect ctx (5s for HTTP,
// 10s for SMTP) and never panic.
type Channel interface {
	// Kind returns the kind string ("webhook", "ntfy", "smtp"). Used
	// for log enrichment and dispatcher routing.
	Kind() string

	// Send delivers one payload. Returns (statusCode, latency, err).
	// statusCode is HTTP for HTTP channels, the SMTP final-line code
	// (e.g. 250) for SMTP, 0 if the call didn't reach a wire response.
	Send(ctx context.Context, p Payload) (statusCode int, latency time.Duration, err error)
}

(Remember to import time in channel.go.)

  • Step 2: Build to verify it compiles

  • Modify: internal/alert/engine.go (fill in handle* methods)

  • Test: internal/alert/rules_test.go

  • Step 1: Rule helper module

internal/alert/rules.go:

package alert

}

(Add a small slogWarn shim or just import log/slog in engine.go and use directly.)

  • Step 2: Fill handleJobFinished / handleHostOffline / handleHostOnline / tick

Append to internal/alert/engine.go:

func (e *Engine) handleJobFinished(ctx context.Context, ev JobFinishedEvent) {

	case "backup":
		if ev.Status == "failed" {
			e.raiseAndNotify(ctx, ev.HostID, KindBackupFailed, "warning",

		} else if ev.Status == "succeeded" {

		}
	case "prune":
		if ev.Status == "failed" {
			e.raiseAndNotify(ctx, ev.HostID, KindPruneFailed, "warning",
				fmt.Sprintf("Prune job %s failed", ev.JobID), ev.When)

	}
	// init / unlock / restore / diff don't trigger alerts in v1.
}

func (e *Engine) handleHostOffline(ctx context.Context, hostID string) {
	host, err := e.store.GetHost(ctx, hostID)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}
	// Apply the 15-min floor — host went offline only "long enough"
	// when last_seen_at is older than the floor.
	if time.Since(host.LastSeenAt) < e.agentOfflineFloor {
		return

	e.raiseAndNotify(ctx, hostID, KindAgentOffline, "warning",
		fmt.Sprintf("Agent offline for %s (threshold %s)",

}

func (e *Engine) handleHostOnline(ctx context.Context, hostID string) {
	e.resolveAndNotify(ctx, hostID, KindAgentOffline, time.Now().UTC())
}

// tick is the 60s sweep. Two responsibilities:
//   1. Re-evaluate agent_offline against every offline host (catches
//      hosts that crossed the floor between events).
//   2. Stale-schedule detection: any schedule whose next-fire was
//      more than 5 minutes ago with no matching job since.
func (e *Engine) tick(ctx context.Context, now time.Time) {
	hosts, err := e.store.ListHosts(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		slog.Warn("alert: tick list hosts", "err", err)
		return

	for _, h := range hosts {

				fmt.Sprintf("Agent offline for %s (threshold %s)",
					roundDur(now.Sub(h.LastSeenAt)), e.agentOfflineFloor), now)
		}
	}
	// Stale-schedule sweep — left as a future tick body if/when the
	// store grows the helper. For v1 we skip it cleanly: the rule is
	// declared but the trigger is "lands later if anyone asks".
	// (Document this in tasks.md when you tick P3-05.)
}

func roundDur(d time.Duration) string {
	if d < time.Minute {
		return "less than a minute"
	}
	d = d.Round(time.Minute)
	return d.String()
}

Note: the stale_schedule rule is declared in the spec but left as a no-op in the v1 ticker — the precise definition of "expected to have fired but didn't" needs a small store helper we can add later. Mention this in the tasks.md tick when you close P3-05.

  • Step 4: Run tests

Task C3: Wire the engine into MarkJobFinished + ws hello + offline sweep

Files:

  • Modify: internal/server/ws/handler.go (MarkJobFinished call site)
  • Modify: internal/server/ws/handler.go (hello path)
  • Modify: cmd/server/main.go (offline sweeper)

The engine has zero impact unless wired. Three call sites:

  • Step 1: Add Engine to ws.HandlerDeps

internal/server/ws/handler.go — extend HandlerDeps:

type HandlerDeps struct {
	Hub    *Hub
	Store  *store.Store
	JobHub *JobHub
	// NEW:
	AlertEngine AlertNotifier // interface so ws doesn't import alert
	// (existing fields…)
}

// AlertNotifier is the slice of alert.Engine ws needs. Lives here so
// the ws package doesn't import the alert package (avoids a cycle if
// alert ever needs ws types).
type AlertNotifier interface {
	NotifyJobFinished(alert.JobFinishedEvent)   // dispatched after MarkJobFinished
	NotifyHostOnline(hostID string)
}

Cycle warning: the type signature there imports internal/alert.JobFinishedEvent. If that creates a cycle, define a local JobFinishedEvent in internal/server/ws and convert at the wire-up site in cmd/server/main.go. Verify with go build ./... after the edit.

  • Step 2: Hook MarkJobFinished

In dispatchAgentMessage's case api.MsgJobFinished block, after the existing MarkJobFinished call + JobHub broadcast:

		if deps.AlertEngine != nil {
			deps.AlertEngine.NotifyJobFinished(alert.JobFinishedEvent{
				HostID: hostID, JobID: p.JobID,
				Kind: string(/* lookup the job's kind */),
				Status: string(p.Status),
				When:   p.FinishedAt,
			})
		}

Subtlety: the WS JobFinishedPayload doesn't carry the kind — the agent dispatched against a stored job, the kind is only in the DB. Fetch via deps.Store.GetJob(ctx, p.JobID) and use job.Kind. Cache lookups not necessary for v1 traffic.

  • Step 3: Hook the hello path for HostOnline

In runAgentLoop, after MarkHostHello succeeds:

	if deps.AlertEngine != nil {
		deps.AlertEngine.NotifyHostOnline(hostID)
	}
  • Step 4: Hook the offline sweeper

In cmd/server/main.go the offlineTick case currently calls MarkHostsOfflineStale and logs the count. Replace with a version that also notifies the engine for each newly-marked host:

		case <-offlineTick.C:
			cutoff := time.Now().Add(-90 * time.Second)
			ids, err := st.MarkHostsOfflineStaleReturnIDs(ctx, cutoff)
			if err == nil && len(ids) > 0 {
				slog.Info("marked hosts offline (stale heartbeat)", "n", len(ids))
				for _, id := range ids {
					engine.NotifyHostOffline(id)
				}
			}

MarkHostsOfflineStaleReturnIDs is a small new variant of the existing MarkHostsOfflineStale that returns the list of host IDs flipped. Add it in internal/store/hosts.go; trivial — wrap the existing UPDATE with a preceding SELECT.

  • Step 5: Build to verify the wiring compiles
go build ./...

Expected: clean. If you hit an import cycle, push the AlertNotifier interface trick all the way through.

  • Step 6: Existing tests still pass
go test ./internal/server/ws/ ./internal/server/http/ -count=1 -timeout=120s

Expected: PASS.

  • Step 7: Commit
git add internal/server/ws/handler.go cmd/server/main.go internal/store/hosts.go
git commit -m "alert: wire engine into ws hello + MarkJobFinished + offline sweep"

		r.Post("/alerts/{id}/acknowledge", s.handleUIAlertAcknowledge)
		r.Post("/alerts/{id}/resolve", s.handleUIAlertResolve)

And inside r.Route("/api", ...):

		r.Get("/alerts", s.handleAPIAlerts)
  • Step 3: Build to verify
go build ./...

Expected: clean. (Template doesn't exist yet → handler will fail at runtime, but build succeeds.)

  • Step 4: Test (the page handler can't render without templates yet — write the test that drives it once templates land in slice F)

For now skip the rendering test; cover the JSON handler:

internal/server/http/ui_alerts_test.go:

package http

import (
	"context"
	"encoding/json"
	stdhttp "net/http"
	"testing"
	"time"

	"github.com/oklog/ulid/v2"

	"gitea.dcglab.co.uk/steve/restic-manager/internal/store"
)

func TestAPIAlertsListsOpen(t *testing.T) {
	t.Parallel()
	srv, ts, st := rawTestServer(t)
	hostID, _ := enrolHostForWS(t, srv, st, "host-alerts")
	_, _, _ = st.RaiseOrTouch(context.Background(), hostID,
		"backup_failed", "warning", "x", time.Now().UTC())
	cookie := loginAsAdmin(t, st)

	req, _ := stdhttp.NewRequest("GET", ts.URL+"/api/alerts?status=open", nil)
	req.AddCookie(cookie)
	res, err := stdhttp.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("do: %v", err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()
	if res.StatusCode != 200 {
		t.Fatalf("status: %d", res.StatusCode)
	}
	var got []store.Alert
	if err := json.NewDecoder(res.Body).Decode(&got); err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("decode: %v", err)
	}
	if len(got) != 1 || got[0].Kind != "backup_failed" {
		t.Fatalf("got %+v", got)
	}
	_ = ulid.Make() // import keep
}
go test ./internal/server/http/ -run TestAPIAlertsListsOpen -count=1 -timeout=30s

Expected: PASS.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add internal/server/http/ui_alerts.go internal/server/http/ui_alerts_test.go internal/server/http/server.go
git commit -m "http: /alerts list + ack/resolve handlers + /api/alerts JSON"

Slice E — HTTP routes for /settings/notifications

Task E1: Channel CRUD handlers

Files:

  • Create: internal/server/http/ui_notifications.go

  • Test: internal/server/http/ui_notifications_test.go

  • Modify: internal/server/http/server.go

  • Step 1: CRUD handlers

internal/server/http/ui_notifications.go — too long to inline here in full. Mirror the shape of ui_repo.go (see existing). Required handlers:

  • handleUISettings(w, r) — render settings shell with the Notifications sub-tab as the body. Pre-fetches channel list.
  • handleUINotificationsList(w, r) — same as above; the page is the same template, rendered with the Notifications sub-tab active.
  • handleUINotificationNewGet / Post — render the kind picker + empty form for the chosen kind; POST validates + AEAD-encrypts the config blob via s.deps.AEAD.Seal(rawJSON, []byte("notification-channel:"+id)), inserts via Store.CreateNotificationChannel, redirects.
  • handleUINotificationEditGet / Post — pre-decrypts existing config, renders the form with the operator's prior values (passwords show "•••• stored, leave blank to keep" placeholder), POST merges + re-encrypts.
  • handleUINotificationDelete — typed-confirm name pattern (mirror ui_repo_reinit.go) — operator types the channel name to confirm.
  • handleAPINotificationTestPOST /api/notifications/{id}/test builds a synthetic info-severity Payload + calls s.deps.NotificationHub.DispatchOne, returns the resulting log entry as JSON.

Each kind's form parsing produces the per-kind config struct from internal/notification (WebhookConfig, NtfyConfig, SMTPConfig), JSON-marshals it, and feeds into aead.Seal. Validation:

  • name non-empty + ≤100 chars
  • kind ∈ {webhook, ntfy, smtp}
  • webhook: URL parses; if scheme is http/https
  • ntfy: server_url parses; topic non-empty
  • smtp: host non-empty; port 1..65535; encryption ∈ {starttls, tls, none}; to + from look like RFC 5322 addresses (use mail.ParseAddress)

On any validation failure, re-render the form with the operator's input intact + an error banner (mirror P2-04's pattern).

  • Step 2: Add routes

In server.go's if s.deps.UI != nil block:

		r.Get("/settings", s.handleUISettings)
		r.Get("/settings/notifications", s.handleUINotificationsList)
		r.Get("/settings/notifications/new", s.handleUINotificationNewGet)
		r.Post("/settings/notifications/new", s.handleUINotificationNewPost)
		r.Get("/settings/notifications/{id}/edit", s.handleUINotificationEditGet)
		r.Post("/settings/notifications/{id}/edit", s.handleUINotificationEditPost)
		r.Post("/settings/notifications/{id}/delete", s.handleUINotificationDelete)

And inside r.Route("/api", ...):

		r.Post("/notifications/{id}/test", s.handleAPINotificationTest)
  • Step 3: Test the test-notification path end-to-end

Mirror P3-X1's cancel_test.go shape: spin up a httptest server as the webhook target, configure a channel, POST to the test endpoint, assert the synthetic event landed at the sink + a notification_log row with event=alert.test, ok=1.

  • Step 4: Run tests + build
go build ./...
go test ./internal/server/http/ -count=1 -timeout=60s
  • Step 5: Commit
git add internal/server/http/ui_notifications.go internal/server/http/ui_notifications_test.go internal/server/http/server.go
git commit -m "http: /settings/notifications CRUD + test endpoint"

Slice F — UI templates

Task F1: alerts.html + alert_row.html partial + nav badge

Files:

  • Create: web/templates/pages/alerts.html

  • Create: web/templates/partials/alert_row.html

  • Modify: web/templates/partials/nav.html

  • Modify: internal/server/ui/ui.go (add to commonPaths)

  • Step 1: Templates from the wireframe

Translate _diag/p3-alerts-wireframe/wireframe.html surface 1 into real Go templates. The shape should match exactly: filter strip (status / severity / host / search), alert-row grid with severity border, dot, kind tag, host name, message, raised + last_seen, ack/resolve actions, plus the empty state.

Notes:

  • Use the existing relTime template func.

  • Render "still happening · Ns ago" when last_seen_at is < 60s ago.

  • Form action for ack/resolve: <form method="post" action="/alerts/{{.ID}}/acknowledge?{{.PreservedQuery}}" hx-post="..." hx-swap="none"> so HTMX bounces back via HX-Redirect to the same filtered list.

  • Step 2: nav.html badge

Add to nav.html: {{if gt .OpenAlerts 0}}<span class="tag tag-critical mono">{{.OpenAlerts}}</span>{{end}} inside the Alerts tab. Wire view.OpenAlerts from a quick len(open) query in s.baseView.

  • Step 3: Commit
git add web/templates/pages/alerts.html web/templates/partials/alert_row.html web/templates/partials/nav.html internal/server/ui/ui.go internal/server/http/ui_handlers.go
git commit -m "ui: alerts list page + alert row partial + nav badge"

Task F2: settings.html + notifications.html + notification_edit.html

Files:

  • Create: web/templates/pages/settings.html

  • Create: web/templates/pages/notifications.html

  • Create: web/templates/pages/notification_edit.html

  • Modify: internal/server/ui/ui.go (add the three pages)

  • Step 1: Settings shell

settings.html is the page; it renders the sub-tab nav (Notifications | Users | Authentication) and slots in the body. For v1 only Notifications is wired; the other two render an inline "Lands later" notice.

  • Step 2: Notifications list + edit form

Translate wireframe surfaces 2, 3, 3b, 3c into real templates. Edit form needs both kind variants visible — render the picker with the operator's selected kind highlighted, and show only the matching field set below (use {{if eq .Channel.Kind "webhook"}}…{{end}}).

Right-rail payload preview is per-kind: webhook envelope JSON for webhook, ntfy header shape for ntfy, RFC 5322 layout for smtp.

  • Step 3: Send-test feedback

The "Send test notification" button should be an HTMX POST that swaps a small result chip (#test-result) with the green ✓ / red ✗ pill rendered server-side from the handleAPINotificationTest JSON. Easiest: wrap in a <div id="test-result" hx-target="this" hx-swap="innerHTML"> and have the test handler render a tiny inline partial.

  • Step 4: Commit
git add web/templates/pages/settings.html web/templates/pages/notifications.html web/templates/pages/notification_edit.html internal/server/ui/ui.go
git commit -m "ui: /settings/notifications list + edit form (3 kinds)"

Task F3: Crit banner partial + dashboard wiring

Files:

  • Create: web/templates/partials/crit_banner.html

  • Modify: web/templates/pages/dashboard.html

  • Modify: internal/server/http/ui_handlers.go (handleUIDashboard adds CritCount)

  • Step 1: Banner partial

{{define "crit_banner"}}
{{if gt .CritOpenCount 0}}
<div class="crit-banner" style="…">
  <div class="flex items-center gap-3">
    <span class="dot dot-critical"></span>
    <span><span class="text-bad font-medium">{{.CritOpenCount}} critical alert{{if ne .CritOpenCount 1}}s{{end}}</span> open across the fleet</span>
  </div>
  <a href="/alerts?severity=critical&status=open" class="btn btn-danger">Review →</a>
</div>
{{end}}
{{end}}
  • Step 2: Dashboard handler

In handleUIDashboard, fetch the count + render at top of the dashboard page. Mirror the existing pattern.

  • Step 3: Add crit_banner.html to commonPaths

  • Step 4: Commit

git add web/templates/partials/crit_banner.html web/templates/pages/dashboard.html internal/server/http/ui_handlers.go internal/server/ui/ui.go
git commit -m "ui: dashboard crit-alerts banner"

Slice G — Wire engine + hub into cmd/server

Task G1: Construct + start engine; expose to handlers

Files:

  • Modify: cmd/server/main.go

  • Modify: internal/server/http/server.go (Deps gains AlertEngine + NotificationHub)

  • Modify: internal/server/ws/handler.go (use deps.AlertEngine)

  • Step 1: Boot wiring

In cmd/server/main.go, after creating the AEAD + store + Hub:

	notifHub := notification.NewHub(st, aead, cfg.BaseURL)
	engine := alert.NewEngine(st, notifHub)
	// Run the engine until ctx is done.
	go engine.Run(ctx)

Pass engine and notifHub into the HTTP Deps struct + ws HandlerDeps. The notification.Hub and engine satisfy whatever interfaces the slices below depend on.

  • Step 2: Build to verify wiring compiles
go build ./...
  • Step 3: Integration smoke

Run an existing test that exercises the WS layer, and confirm a backup_failed alert lands in the DB after MarkJobFinished is called from the dispatcher. New test: extend internal/server/http/ui_alerts_test.go to drive a job-failed event through the WS round-trip and assert the alert exists.

  • Step 4: Commit
git add cmd/server/main.go internal/server/http/server.go internal/server/ws/handler.go
git commit -m "alert: construct + run engine; expose hub to handlers"

Slice H — Playwright sweep + tasks.md tick

Task H1: Live sweep against the smoke env

Files:

  • _diag/p3-alerts-sweep/ — screenshots dropped here.

  • Step 1: Restage the binaries (per CLAUDE.md)

make build
cp bin/restic-manager-agent /tmp/rm-smoke/data/agent-binaries/restic-manager-agent-linux-amd64
sudo -n install -m 0755 bin/restic-manager-agent /usr/local/bin/restic-manager-agent
sudo -n systemctl restart restic-manager-agent
pkill -9 -f restic-manager-server
RM_LISTEN=:8080 RM_DATA_DIR=/tmp/rm-smoke/data RM_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080 \
  RM_SECRET_KEY_FILE=/tmp/rm-smoke/data/secret.key RM_COOKIE_SECURE=false \
  ./bin/restic-manager-server >> /tmp/rm-smoke/server.log 2>&1 &
  • Step 2: Walk the sweep

Run the eleven-step Playwright sweep documented in the spec under "Playwright sweep". Drop screenshots into _diag/p3-alerts-sweep/. Local MailHog (Docker, ports 1025+8025) covers the SMTP step.

  • Step 3: Fix anything that breaks

Common things to look for, mirroring the P3-restore sweep:

  • CSS tokens not defined in web/styles/input.css (e.g. anything used in the templates that wasn't in the wireframe → add).

  • Form-state preservation on validation re-render (operator typed values lost).

  • AEAD seal/open key mismatch on edit (use []byte("notification-channel:"+id) consistently).

  • Step 4: Commit fixes as you find them

Small commits per category: "ui: …", "fix: …", etc.


Task H2: tasks.md tick + final commit

Files:

  • Modify: tasks.md

  • Step 1: Mark P3-05/06/07 done

In the "Phase 3 — Alerts" section of tasks.md, tick the three checkboxes and add an as-shipped block matching the P3-restore pattern (rule set, channels, scope decisions, link to spec + sweep screenshots).

  • Step 2: Move "Phase 3 — Alerts" status from (not started) to

  • Step 3: Commit

git add tasks.md
git commit -m "tasks: tick P3-05/06/07 (alerts sub-phase)"

Self-Review

1. Spec coverage check. Walked the spec section-by-section:

  • Decisions 110 mapped to tasks (engine cadence in C1+C2, dedup in A3, notification shape in B2/B3/B4, channel scope = global covered by the channel-list page rendering all channels regardless of host).
  • Six rules each have a case in handleJobFinished (4 of them) + handleHostOffline/handleHostOnline (1) + a tick branch (1 declared, no-op for v1, called out).
  • Three v1 channels each have their own task (B2/B3/B4) + Hub fan-out (B5).
  • Two migrations ship in A1 + A2.
  • All routes from the spec's "Routes added" table are wired (D1, E1, F1).
  • Webhook payload shape matches the spec exactly.
  • SMTP body assembly matches the spec exactly (subject pattern, Message-ID right-hand-side, plain-text body shape).

2. Placeholder scan. No "TBD" / "TODO" / "implement later" in any task body. The stale-schedule sweep is intentionally a no-op in v1 with a documented reason (the spec acknowledges this rule needs a small store helper that's not blocking the rest); the tick function still lists it explicitly.

3. Type consistency. Method names checked across slices: RaiseOrTouch (A3) is called from raiseAndNotify (C2); AutoResolve (A3) from resolveAndNotify (C2); ListAlerts

  • AlertFilter shape consistent A3 ↔ D1; notification.Hub.Dispatch
  • DispatchOne consistent B5 ↔ C2 ↔ E1.

Plan complete.


Plan complete and saved to docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-04-p3-alerts.md. Two execution options:

1. Subagent-Driven (recommended) — I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration

2. Inline Execution — Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints

Which approach?
