Post-DHCP-incident hardening per HARDEN.md.
- apply guard: refuse (ConflictError, `force` overrides) when a
network-managed interface would end up in no zone; absent
`interfaces` key = hands-off, explicit `[]` = unassign-all
- surface `uncovered_interfaces` in firewall state (lo/wg* filtered)
+ advisory in /api/status/pending; zones.js banner + interfaces-picker
last-zone confirm
- target drift (Option A): absent or default-normalizing target is
unmanaged: not diffed, never re-set by apply; create_zone runs
--new-zone first and sets non-default targets only; importer omits
the target key for default zones
- FirewallToDhcpSync keeps stale DHCP ranges and flags them instead of
deleting; `dnsmasq` affected only on a real gateway mutation
- real pre-apply recovery snapshot in data/firewall/rules.json
({timestamp, default_zone, zones, config}); drop the empty post-apply
skeleton
- daemon shutdown: bounded grace for in-flight tasks + suppressed
teardown exception noise on SIGTERM
- also carries the firewall service-descriptions feature
(get_service_descriptions + service_descriptions state field + UI)
- tests + docs across firewall/status/state/sync/schema; ruff clean,
867 passing
- lib/common: stamp_applied() now records a _last_applied_config
snapshot alongside the hash; strip_apply_meta() centralizes
bookkeeping-key stripping; deep_diff() reports field-level changes
- state collectors (dnsmasq/nginx/wireguard/networkd) expose
pending_diff so the dashboard can show exactly which fields
changed since the last apply (wireguard diff excludes
private_key paths)
- dashboard pending-changes card renders per-change lines with a
generic fallback when no snapshot is recorded
- firewall: firewalld built-in zones no longer flagged as
unmanaged; public-zone masquerade skipped in pending changes
since apply drives it via nftables propagation
- schema: PendingChange TypedDict; pending_diff on DnsmasqStatus /
WgStatus; tests in test_common.py, test_firewall.py, test_state.py
systemd: pre-create volatile /run paths so vacuum-walld's ProtectSystem=strict namespace setup cannot fail with 226/NAMESPACE — RuntimeDirectory=vacuum-wall nginx plus a tmpfiles.d spec (installed to /etc/tmpfiles.d/) covering /run/firewalld and /run/nginx.pid. Drop /run/sudo from ReadWritePaths: NOPASSWD children never need it, and its absence crash-looped restarts after sudo removed /run/sudo.
webui: run the auth session check before mounting the shell so logged-out visitors never flash the sidebar or a protected page; router guard and sidebar now react to auth state, and the login page renders full-bleed.
ws: cap refresh->reconnect episodes at 2 consecutive failures; if the WS path stays dead after a token refresh, abandon reconnection instead of looping refreshAuth forever (UI keeps working via REST until reload).
api: GET /api/network/interfaces now includes loopback and returns per-interface {config, runtime}; dashboard reads runtime.state (carrier counts as up) and the interfaces page filters lo client-side.
daemon: re-collect nginx state after lazy config migration (cached list went stale when the on-disk format changed under it), skip system_import.nginx when config.json already exists (re-parsing vacuum-wall's own generated sites is lossy), and poll nginx (60s) / acme (300s) state so file drift self-heals.
- update-vendor.sh now creates webui/vendor symlinks (htm.js)
- install.sh calls update-vendor.sh after package install
- Add vendor/.empty and webui/vendor/.empty as directory placeholders in git
- Register, view, and deactivate ACME accounts via API and UI
- 16-check validation framework for certificate issuance readiness
- DNS resolution, port, nginx, and firewall pre-flight checks
- External IP detection with NAT support and fallback providers
- Account card and settings modal in certificates page
- Guard certificate issuance behind account registration
- Update modal CSS to overlay-based approach
- 1000+ lines of tests for validation and account handlers
