A (host, service) pair is flapping once it exceeds flap_count warning or
critical notifications within flap_interval minutes. The notification that
trips the state carries "Now flapping!! No more messages!" and every later
one is dropped, including RECOVER. The state ends silently flap_interval
minutes after a RECOVER, provided no further alert arrived meanwhile.
Hooked into notify.send_notification, the single choke point for channel
delivery, so only outbound notifications are suppressed — eventlog keeps
recording, leaving the journal and /log with the full history of the flap.
Threshold alerts key on their metric path, so a flapping disk check cannot
silence a CPU alert; connectivity, boot and shutdown events key on the host
itself. State lives at module level in flap.py and is never pickled.
Flapping pairs surface in Host.stateinfo() and render as an amber badge on
the live dashboard. Config: flap_count (5), flap_interval (10 minutes),
0 in either disables; both editable on the settings page.

data.msgs grew without bound (eventlog appended forever, also persisted in
the pickle), and ws.py replayed the entire history to every dashboard
client on connect - one JSON frame per message - making page reloads
progressively sluggish. Cap the buffer in eventlog() (configurable via
msg_buffer_size, default 500) and slice the WebSocket replay to the last
30, matching the window the HTTP render already uses.

Notification channels are now managed through a proper web form instead
of a raw YAML textarea. Any authenticated user can create channels; private
channels (owner-scoped) are hidden from other users. The user profile
channel selector becomes a tag/chip picker with a "My Channels" CRUD section.
- settings.py: add CHANNEL_TYPE_SCHEMAS for all 6 notifier types; channel
section switches to section_mode="channels"; cards include owner/private/min_level
- configio.py: add apply_channel() and delete_channel() for per-entry CRUD
- notify.py: strip owner/private metadata before dispatching to drivers
- http.py: add GET/POST /api/0/notification_channels, PUT/DELETE /{name},
GET /api/0/notification_channel_types; visibility helper filters private
channels per user; PUT /api/0/users/me validates against visible channels
- settings.html: card grid with edit/delete per channel; add/edit modal
with type dropdown and dynamically rendered type-specific fields
- profile.html: chip picker replaces checkbox list; My Channels section
for creating/editing/deleting user-owned channels
- tests: update test_settings_sections, test_http_users_me; add
test_notification_channels_api (16 new tests, 46 total passing)

- Add regex filter input to the Alerts dashboard that filters displayed
hosts on every keystroke; invalid regex turns the border red
- Initialise the filter from ?filter= in the URL query string
- Change _build_url() to produce /alerts?filter=<hostname> so
notification links (Pushover, email, Matrix, etc.) land on the
alerts page pre-filtered to the alerting host

- eventlog() now stores {ts, host, level, service, message} dicts instead of strings
- WebSocket sends/broadcasts filter event log messages by the user's managed hosts
- live.html renders structured log entries with level-coloured spans
- Swiss railway clock minute hand now holds until second hand reaches 12, then steps

- fix: matrix/sms_voipms notifications blocked the event loop on timeout;
make send_notification async, dispatch all channel drivers as non-blocking
tasks (asyncio.to_thread for sync drivers, asyncio.wait_for for async);
update all call sites to fire-and-forget via create_task
- feat: add /about page with version, runtime, uptime counter, and repo link
- fix: hbc_mini plugin data format now matches full hbc client so Host
Overview displays memory, disk, and network metrics correctly

- AlertState.update() now resets last_notification when the alert level
changes, so a WARNING→CRITICAL escalation restarts the reminder interval
rather than inheriting a nearly-expired timer.
- _dispatch_to_channel() bypasses min_level for RECOVER, so recovery
notifications are delivered even after a server restart when
_alerted_channels is empty and the fallback dispatch path is used.

- Restructuring of the project directory into client and server components
- Renaming of modules and classes to better reflect their purpose and functionality
- Moving common utilities and configurations to a shared location
- Updating import statements to reflect the new structure
- Adding new documentation files for better clarity on various aspects of the project
- Removing deprecated or unused code to streamline the codebase
- Ensuring that all existing functionality is preserved and that the codebase remains functional after the refactoring.
