The startup normalize and _run_acme_preflight covered daemon startup and issue/renew, but the recurring collector poll called lib.acme.list_certs() without normalizing ACME_HOME. A non-daemon run (e.g. a manual run as the WebUI user) re-creating account.conf owner-only made every acme.sh --list exit 2, so the collector returned certs=[] and the UI showed no certs until the next issue/renew or daemon restart.
- collector: normalize_acme_home() before list_certs() so the poll self-heals
- issue pre-check: normalize before the direct lib.acme.list_certs()
- _parse_account_conf: read acme.sh v3 account.conf (not just .account.conf)
- _collect_acme: actionable status.error for the account.conf perm case
- install.sh: chown ACME_HOME conf files to the daemon user
- move state collectors from lib/state.py to daemon/collectors/ (7
modules, registration side-effect; daemon/server.py imports the
package before the first populate())
- webui/api: new daemon_route() decorator factory in common.py
collapses the try/except daemon-proxy boilerplate in all 8
blueprints (rules/params/body/transform keep responses identical)
- firewall: interface-coverage invariant — config is the source of
truth for zone interfaces (absent key = empty, no hands-off
zones); pure validate_coverage() enforced at save (400) and apply
(409, force: true overrides), top-level `unmanaged` exemption
- lib: get_config() reads are now pure (no dir creation or writes);
new lib/bootstrap.py creates runtime dirs and persists the
one-shot nginx legacy migration at daemon start, after
system_import (lib.nginx.migrate_config_file)
- lib/common: compute_pending() apply-bookkeeping helper
- daemon: emit_and_refresh() handler helper; refresh_state(bump=) so
/status/refresh no longer bumps versions (poll/mutation only)
- acme: move --log last so acme.sh never treats a real arg as the
log-file argument
- docs: AGENTS.md, config.md, state-model.md, api.md updated;
HARDEN.md dropped (plan implemented); apply-confirm force wording
Tests: 917 passed; ruff check + format clean.
