- daemon: send full snapshot on connect; versions/tick now carry the
full state of one subsystem (subsystem + data); no legacy
updated/subsystems payloads; refresh_state and POST /status/refresh
broadcast per-subsystem versions with data
- client: modelSet() patches models in place; onMessage/topic refresh
retired; 3s initial-load fallback via new POST /api/status/refresh
- schema: lib/schema.py TypedDicts + hoover/schema.js defaults +
docs/state-model.md as single source of truth for state shapes
- system: poll at 1s, volatile metrics registered, dashboard uses a
dedicated system model (status model removed)
- firewall: refuse to strip both https and ssh from the default zone
(409, force override via UI confirm); set_zone_services persists
services to the declarative config; collector exposes default_zone
- UI: pages migrate to flat state shapes; post-mutation modelFetch
refreshes removed (WS delta covers it)
- tests: ws snapshot/delta/broadcast, refresh-state, schema types,
model-set/js ws handler and reconnect fallback
Refresh/logout and token robustness
- drop the post-rotation refresh_tokens row delete in auth_refresh so
logout blacklists the current (rotated) refresh token; remove the
dead _clear_refresh_token_after_rotation helper and clear_active_refresh_token
- reject non-object JWT payloads in _extract_unverified_sub so crafted
Authorization headers return 401 instead of crashing with 500
SQLite user store
- make builtin-admin seeding idempotent: on a concurrent first start the
losing seeder re-checks, finds the winner, and returns instead of
raising IntegrityError
- per-thread sqlite connections + busy_timeout so Flask worker threads
don't hit cross-thread ProgrammingError / SQLITE_BUSY
- add LogsDirectory + /var/log/vacuum-wall to ReadWritePaths in both
systemd units so the fallback admin password actually lands on disk
Frontend
- skip apiFetch 401-recovery for public auth endpoints so a failed
login no longer logs out a valid session
- add /passkeys to the nav (passkey registration was unreachable);
remove the dead checkWebAuthnCapable export
- drop the CSP-blocked inline WS-URL script and the
__WS_URL_PLACEHOLDER__ plumbing; the WS URL is derived from location
Daemon / WS
- parse Sec-WebSocket-Protocol manually (web.Request.get_subprotocols
does not exist in aiohttp 3.13); X-Auth-Token is a custom-nginx
fallback only — docstring and security docs corrected
Install / system
- bootstrap_auth.py is now idempotent: preserves existing auth config
and syncs the admin password on re-runs (new reset_password helper)
- WebUI server block renders auth_basic off (the UI is JWT-protected)
- install.sh chown/chmod skips .git to avoid git dubious-ownership
breakage
- tolerate unreadable /etc/wireguard during system import
Contracts / docs
- create_user returns 409 on duplicate username per docs/api.md
- correct docs/api.md response shapes, docs/security.md blacklist
cleanup wording + one-refresh-per-user caveat, stale WS-URL
references, and the .htpasswd description
Tests: +7 regression tests (rotation/logout revocation, crafted-token
401, concurrent seeding); placeholder-substitution tests replaced with
serve-as-is SPA root tests.
- Move get_all_credential_counts import to top-level in daemon/handlers/auth.py
- Remove unused PROJECT_DIR in scripts/bootstrap_auth.py
- Fix leading space in api.js tryRefreshToken function
- Document WebSocket session binding limitation in docs/security.md
- Add session_id to refresh tokens and enforce it during validation,
preventing stolen refresh tokens from being usable without the
originating browser session
- Set router.isAuthenticated via auth:login event after successful
login (previously only set at page load)
- Add console.warn logging to WS message parse/handler errors
- Improve _refreshPromise error handling in token refresh flow
- Document rate limiter in-memory limitation and CSP connect-src
same-origin requirement
- Add 3 tests for session-bound refresh token validation
- Truncate admin password in logs; write full password to data/auth.log (0o600)
- Persist access token in sessionStorage so it survives page reloads
- Simplify tryRefreshToken to use GSAP-style promise deduplication
- Remove spurious POST redirect on 401 during token refresh
- Guard passkey button reference in login finally block
- Make session_id parameter optional in validate_token — only enforced when
provided, allowing WebSocket auth which cannot carry custom headers
- Remove decode_token round-trip from daemon WS handler
- Override WebAuthn registration username from JWT user_ctx to prevent users
from registering credentials under another user's account
- Frontend no longer sends username for WebAuthn registration
- Redirect to login on 401 after token refresh fails for POST requests
- Remove redundant auth session check from login page load
- Add tests for session_id semantics and WebAuthn ownership guard
Session binding was bypassable: if the X-Session-Id header was absent,
validate_token skipped the check entirely, allowing a stolen JWT to be
used without the originating session.
Server-side: reject 401 early in Flask middleware and daemon WebSocket
handler when X-Session-Id is missing, before calling validate_token.
Updated validate_token to always enforce session_id matching for access
tokens (refresh tokens are unaffected as they carry no session_id claim).
Frontend: removed dead if (stored.session_id) guards in api.js since
the header is now always required. Added X-Session-Id to logout request
headers and always store session_id on login/refresh.
Drop ?v=N version pins from all JS imports and HTML <link>/<script> tags.
Cache invalidation is now handled solely by server-side cache-control headers.
Update docs and AGENTS.md accordingly.
The token refresh callback in websocket.js ignored its ok parameter, causing
an infinite reconnect loop when the server rejected the refresh attempt. On
failure, redirect to login instead of reconnecting with a cleared token.
clearAuthTokens() now also removes vw:permissions from sessionStorage to
prevent stale permissions from persisting across logout/login cycles. Also
removed duplicate vw:user removeItem call.
Aligns user and permissions storage with the existing sessionStorage-based
token model. Eliminates the dual-write pattern and stale cross-session data.
webui/static/hoover/api.js
Guard retryRes.json() with .catch(() => null) so non-JSON
responses (e.g. nginx 502/503) don't throw and lose the
actual status code. Falls back to 'HTTP <status>' error string.
lib/db_sqlite.py
Replace unsafe sql.split(';') loop with conn.executescript()
which properly handles semicolons inside string literals.
webui/server.py
Add _AUTH_PERSONAL set and _is_personal_auth() so personal
auth operations (session, password, logout, webauthn creds)
skip subsystem permission checks. Users with only firewall:read
can now manage their own credentials without needing auth:rw.
- websocket: clear tokens on refresh failure to prevent infinite 401 loop
- api: write vw:user to sessionStorage on refresh for consistency with WS
- api: remove vw:user from sessionStorage in clearAuthTokens
- login: guard listener setup with flags to prevent duplicate attachment
- modal: skip inline button disable when handler uses processing state
- users: remove unused requestUpdate import
Add EventBus with loop guards to keep firewall, dnsmasq, wireguard,
and network configs consistent. Handlers emit SyncEvent after mutations;
subscribers compute diffs and write JSON without manual cascade loops.
Add hoover model.js as a central reactive store per subsystem, replacing
per-component data fetching with a single source of truth.

subscribe/unsubscribe)

- Rewrite all pages to use getModel() instead of inline data fetching
- Bootstrap model registrations in app.js
- Add GET /api/firewall/state endpoint
