feat(homepage): recategorise on "do I open this?", collapse the API groups
The board mixed tools with endpoints. A vLLM seat whose href is a /docs page
sat in the same band as ComfyUI; the MQTT broker and the RustDesk relay, which
have no page at all, sat in Apps; and `Service Networking` was thirteen members
spanning three AdGuards, five Dockges, two Traefiks and four headless agents.
Every group is now one of two kinds and they never mix. TOOLS are expanded and
sit at the top of their tab. ENDPOINTS — an API, a broker, a background agent,
an href that is /docs or /ping or nothing — carry `initiallyCollapsed: true`
and sit at the bottom. Collapsed is not hidden: the eyebrow and its rule still
render, so the tab still says the thing exists and one click expands it.
A second rule fell out of the same pass and now shapes the group boundaries: a
group's members should all carry a widget or none should. A stat strip makes a
card ~50px taller, so one widget card in a row of plain ones opens a void under
the plain ones. That is why AdGuard and Traefik get their own groups rather
than sharing one with Dockge, and it is most of why the old Service Networking
band looked broken. AdGuard (ANA) was the last short card in its row and now
carries the same query/blocked/latency strip as its two siblings — one
infra-ops AdGuard login authenticates against all three instances, verified
against each; it lives in that stack's .env on the host and is vaulted.
The sixteen GPU-backed model seats were deliberately NOT relabelled.
`homepage.group` is read at container creation, so clearer names for
`AI - Inference` and friends would have cost a recreate on six vLLM seats, four
eval seats and four TTS engines — multi-minute model reloads on endpoints peers
reach through the gateway. Order plus `initiallyCollapsed` buys the same
separation for nothing, so those names stay as they are on purpose.
28 containers that ARE cheap to bounce were relabelled, across five hosts, via
rerunnable elway playbooks. Their label steps are gated on the old value still
being present, so a second run reports skipped rather than churning. Two verify
steps were wrong on first contact and are fixed with the reason recorded: the
traefik check raced its own recreate, and asserting a model seat is "running"
cannot answer "did I bounce it" when a seat may be legitimately stopped —
container age can, and now does.
The canonical stacks/ tree was synced to the deployed labels afterwards, so
intent and reality agree again on all fourteen tracked stacks.
Also documents the real nature of the post-recreate blank dashboard, which cost
~25 minutes here and an hour on 2026-08-19. `initialSettings":{}` in the served
HTML is the catch branch of the page's data loader, not a warm-up and not a
cache — and the error can vanish entirely, because the logger is assigned inside
the same try and the catch only logs if the logger exists. Ruled out by
measurement this time: all four API routes return 200 with correct content while
the page serves {}, and the previous known-good settings.yaml reproduces it
identically. The README now carries the one-command test and the next lead.

- **🟢 Homepage relaid out on a UNIFORM 4-column grid, and its remote-label discovery re-verified.** `/api/services` proves the board reads container labels off **all five** Docker engines — 74 of 107 cards are label-discovered and only 13 come from its own host. ⚠ **"columns = member count" is RETIRED**; per-group column tuning is what made the card width change five times down the page. Also fixed: long names printing under their own status pill (6 cards, AI tab), the `AI Systems`/Scriberr all-tabs leak, and grey-smudge icons. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-08-24-homepage-uniform-grid.md`

- **🟢 Homepage rebuilt in two passes: uniform 4-column grid, then recategorised on "do I open this?"** Groups are now either TOOLS (expanded, top of tab) or ENDPOINTS (`initiallyCollapsed: true`, bottom); `Service Networking` split four ways; 28 containers relabelled via rerunnable `playbooks/homepage-regroup-<host>.yaml`. Remote-label discovery re-verified — the board reads labels off **all five** Docker engines (74 of 107 cards, only 13 from its own host). ⚠ **The 16 GPU model seats were deliberately NOT relabelled** — order + collapse buys the same separation without a model reload. ⚠ **"columns = member count" is RETIRED.** ⚠ `initialSettings":{}` in the served HTML is a **swallowed exception**, not a warm-up. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-08-24-homepage-uniform-grid.md`

- **🔒 ana-gw's public admin surface is now ZERO open TCP ports**, and the box is scheduled for replacement by **OPNsense on a Dell R420** (which brings WireGuard onto the edge — so the downstream-WireGuard-VM design is moot, do not scope it). WAN admin was opened as a cutover contingency then closed on instruction; the FortiOS **ACME listener** on :80 was disabled too. **No out-of-band path to ana-gw remains** — if both tunnels drop it is console-only; re-open is two one-liners in auto-memory. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-08-24-ana-gw-admin-closed-acme-disabled.md`

## Recent decisions

- `[2026-08-24]` **Homepage reorganised on the axis "do I open this?" — UI groups expanded on top, API/agent groups collapsed at the bottom** (operator-delegated: "re-categorize however you want"). Load-bearing constraint: `homepage.group` is read at container CREATION, so the 16 GPU-backed model seats keep their unlovely names rather than eat a recreate — `initiallyCollapsed` + order is free. Second rule discovered here: **group members should all have widgets or none should**, because a stat strip adds ~50px and opens a void beside plain cards. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-08-24-homepage-uniform-grid.md`
|
||||
- `[2026-08-24]` **Homepage columns unified at 4 for every group; the 2026-08-18 "columns = member count" rule is retired.** It was avoiding dead cells in a short last row and bought a worse defect — card width changing at every group boundary. Also carries two CSS traps: `overflow: hidden` clips at the PADDING box (so a `padding-right` gutter is spill room, not a guard), and a `:root` override of a Homepage theme variable is silently outranked by `.theme-slate` on the same `<html>` element. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-08-24-homepage-uniform-grid.md`
|
||||
- `[2026-08-24]` **AES-128 adopted on both Anaheim tunnels; the per-flow ceiling root-caused to the UDM's software AES-CBC, exonerating the FortiGate.** Proven by an A/B/A cipher swap at identical CPU — hardware offload is not cipher-cost-sensitive. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-08-23-anaheim-ipsec-tunnel-ceiling.md`
|
||||
- `[2026-08-24]` **ana-gw's public admin surface closed to zero open ports, ACME listener included.** Two of my diagnoses were wrong first (an "ISP proxy" that was the FortiGate, and an "all-port VIP" alarm that was a parser gap) — both from reading config instead of measuring from outside. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-08-24-ana-gw-admin-closed-acme-disabled.md`
