version 5.3.4

HTTP config-mutating endpoints (publish, rollback, channel CRUD, user
self-update) were calling config.reload() directly, which only refreshed
the in-memory config dict. This skipped re-applying host.dyn/host.watched
flags to live Host objects, so enabling dyndns via the UI had no effect
until a SIGHUP was sent.

Wire a reload_callback through http.start() that calls the same
reload_configuration() function used by the SIGHUP handler, ensuring
host attributes, notify module, users, and threshold checker are all
updated on every config publish.

Also fix unmatched quote in udp.py f-string log message.

 ### Nagios Integration
 
 The `nagios_runner` plugin provides seamless integration with the vast Nagios plugin ecosystem. You can run any Nagios-compatible plugin and have the results automatically parsed and stored:
 
-- Executes plugins via subprocess with timeout protection
+- Executes plugins asynchronously (non-blocking) with timeout protection
+- Captures both stdout and stderr; if stdout is empty, stderr is used as the status message
+- Handles signal-killed processes (negative exit code → UNKNOWN status)

 - Parses exit codes (OK/WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN)
 - Extracts performance data with thresholds
-- Reports aggregated status across all configured checks
+- Reports per-check status, exit code, and output; no aggregate rollup field

+### Display Format Templates
+
+Each threshold entry accepts an optional `display` field — a Python format string shown in notifications and on the Alerts dashboard:
+
+```yaml
+nagios_runner:
+  status_code:
+    warning: 1
+    critical: 2
+    operator: ">="
+    display: "{check_name}: exit {value} (expected < {threshold_value})"
+```
+
+Available variables:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `{value}` | Current metric value |
+| `{threshold_value}` | Threshold that was crossed |
+| `{op_symbol}` | Comparison operator (`>`, `<`, `>=`, …); `"nagios"` for the nagios operator |
+| `{check_name}` | Prefix stripped by generic matching (see below) |
+| `{metric_name}` | Full field name within the plugin data |
+| `{output}` | For `nagios_runner` generic matches: the matched check's status text (alias for `{check_name}_output`) |
+| `{status}` | For `nagios_runner` generic matches: the matched check's status name — OK/WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN (alias for `{check_name}_status`) |
+| any plugin field | Any other field present in the plugin's data |
+
+### Generic Threshold Matching
+
+When a metric name has no exact threshold entry, the server progressively strips leading underscore-separated segments and re-tries the lookup. This lets a single generic entry cover an entire family of metrics.
+
+The classic use case is `nagios_runner`, which names each metric after the command that produced it:
+
+```
+nagios_runner.check_disk_root_status_code    → no exact match
+nagios_runner.disk_root_status_code          → no match
+nagios_runner.root_status_code               → no match
+nagios_runner.status_code                    → matched ✓
+```
+
+Configure the generic threshold once using the `nagios` operator, which maps exit codes directly to alert severity without requiring numeric warning/critical values:
+
+```yaml
+nagios_runner:
+  status_code:
+    operator: "nagios"   # 0=OK  1=WARNING  2=CRITICAL  3=UNKNOWN
+    display: "{check_name}: {output}"
+```
+
+The stripped prefix (`check_disk_root` in the example above) is available as `{check_name}` in the display template, so you can identify which check triggered the alert without writing a separate threshold entry per command.
+
+Exact matches always take priority. A generic entry only applies when no specific one is defined.
+
+### Per-Host Threshold Profiles
+
+Named threshold configurations let different hosts use different limits. A host's `threshold_config` can be a single name or a **list** — lists are applied left-to-right so profiles compose without duplication:
+
+```yaml
+threshold_configs:
+  default:
+    thresholds:
+      cpu_monitor:
+        cpu_percent: {warning: 80, critical: 90}

+        memory_percent: {warning: 85, critical: 95}

+      cpu_monitor:
+        cpu_percent: {warning: 60, critical: 75}
+
+  db_disk:             # add a database partition check
+    thresholds:
+      disk_monitor:
+        partitions:
+          /var/lib/postgresql:
+            percent: {warning: 75, critical: 88}
+
+hosts:
+  web-01:
+    threshold_config: default          # single profile
+
+  db-01:
+    threshold_config: [tight_cpu, db_disk]   # layered: CPU override + extra disk check
+```
+
+Each named config's overrides are applied in order on top of the defaults. Metrics not mentioned in a profile are inherited unchanged.

 All monitoring plugins default to 5-minute (300 second) intervals, but can be customized as needed.
 
+**Connection retry:** If a server is temporarily unreachable, `hbc` retries `open()` indefinitely on every heartbeat interval. IPv6 connections that never succeeded during early startup are dropped after 3 consecutive failures (to handle hosts without IPv6 routing), while IPv4 connections always retry.
+
+**Daemon logging:** When running with `-d`, `hbc` routes all log output to syslog (`LOG_DAEMON` facility) after daemonizing. Without `-d`, logs go to stderr as usual.

+
+`scripts/hbc_mini.py` is a self-contained version of the heartbeat client that requires only Python 3.8+ and no external packages. Copy it to any host and run it directly — no virtualenv, no `pip install`.
+
+```bash

+| `memory_monitor` | Linux | `/proc/meminfo` |
+| `disk_monitor` | Linux, macOS, BSD | `df -P` subprocess |
+| `network_monitor` | Linux | `/proc/net/dev` |
+
+**What is not available compared to the full `hbc`:**
+
+- No YAML config (use JSON instead)
+- No `filesystem_info` plugin
+- No `zfs_monitor` plugin (requires `zpool(8)` and the full plugin loader)
+- `cpu_monitor` does not report per-core usage or CPU frequency (no psutil)
+- Plugins cannot be loaded from external `.py` files — all plugins are compiled in
+- No IPv6 early-fail protection — connections that fail to open at startup are silently skipped rather than retried
+
+Everything else — heartbeat protocol, ACK/CMD/UPD handling, `hb_install.sh`-based self-update, daemonize, syslog — is identical to the full client.

-   
-2. **Clearer Architecture**: Explicit separation of concerns
-   - Client: System monitoring and data collection
-   - Server: Heartbeat reception, web UI, notifications
-   - Common: Shared protocol and utilities
-
-3. **Independent Evolution**: Client and server can evolve separately
-   - Different release cycles possible
-   - Clear API boundaries via common/
-
-4. **Smaller Footprint**: Reduced dependency installation
-   - Client: ~1 dependency (psutil)
-   - Server: ~4 dependencies (websockets, aiohttp, Jinja2, mattermostdriver)
-
-## Migration Guide
-
-### For Existing Installations
-
-1. **Reinstall the package**:
-   ```bash
-   pip install -e ".[all]"  # For development
-   # or
-   pip install hbd[all]     # For production
-   ```
-
-2. **Configuration files remain unchanged**:
-   - Both client and server read from `~/.hb.yaml`
-   - All existing config keys are supported in both configs
-   - Server has additional keys (journal, websocket, email, etc.)
-   - Client has minimal keys (interval, plugins, thresholds)
-
-3. **Commands remain the same**:
-   - `hbc` command works identically
-   - `hbd` command works identically
-
-### For New Deployments
-
-1. **Client-only system** (monitoring host):
-   ```bash
-   pip install hbd[client]
-   hbc server1.example.com server2.example.com
-   ```
-
-2. **Server-only system** (monitoring daemon):
-   ```bash
-   pip install hbd[server]
-   hbd -c /etc/hbd.yaml -f
-   ```
-
-3. **Combined system** (dev/test):
-   ```bash
-   pip install hbd[all]
-   ```
-
-## Testing
-
-All imports and entry points have been tested and validated:
-- ✅ Package imports work correctly
-- ✅ `hbc` command entry point functional
-- ✅ `hbd` command entry point functional
-- ✅ Optional dependencies properly configured
-- ✅ All internal imports updated
-
-## Files Archived
-
-The following files were renamed to avoid conflicts:
-- `hbd/config.py` → `hbd/config.py.old` (split into client/server configs)
-- `hbd/hbc_old.py` → `hbd/hbc_old.py.bak` (backup file)
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Test client functionality with a monitoring host
-2. Test server functionality with web UI and notifications
-3. Update documentation (README.md) with new structure
-4. Consider publishing to PyPI with new structure
-5. Update any deployment scripts/Dockerfiles to use optional dependencies

 ```
 
+## Server-initiated InfoPlugin refresh
+
+When a heartbeat packet arrives from a host the server has no plugin data for (e.g. after a server restart), the server sets `request_update = 1` in the ACK reply. The client detects this flag and immediately re-runs all InfoPlugins — clearing their cached results first — then resends the data as PLG messages.
+
+This means InfoPlugin data will always reach the server as soon as possible without requiring a client restart. No action is needed from plugin authors: the framework handles cache invalidation and re-collection automatically.
+
+The lifecycle for this case looks like:
+
+```
+Server restarts, host reconnects
+   └─> hbd receives HTB with no existing plugin_data for host
+   └─> hbd sets request_update=1 in ACK
+
+Client receives ACK
+   └─> Detects request_update flag
+   └─> Clears _cache on every registered InfoPlugin
+   └─> Calls collect() on each InfoPlugin
+   └─> Sends fresh PLG messages to server
+```
+
+If you write an `InfoPlugin` with side effects in `_collect_info()` (opening connections, writing files, etc.), be aware it may be called more than once per client session when this mechanism triggers.

 ## Multi-Threshold Configuration
 
-**New in version 2.0**: Support for multiple named threshold configurations with per-host mapping.
+Support for multiple named threshold configurations with per-host mapping and composable layering.
 
 ### Overview
 
 The multi-threshold feature allows you to:
-- Define multiple sets of threshold configurations
-- Map different hosts to different threshold sets
+- Define multiple named threshold configurations
+- Assign one or more configurations to each host
+- Compose configurations by layering — each named config's overrides are applied in order on top of the defaults
 - Use different sensitivity levels for different environments
-- Maintain a default configuration for unmapped hosts
 
 ### Configuration Structure
 
+Named configurations are defined under `threshold_configs`. Each host selects which ones to use via `threshold_config` in the `hosts` section (a string for a single config, or a list to layer multiple):
+

+### Composable Configurations (list form)
+
+`threshold_config` can be a list. Configs are applied **left to right**: the defaults are the base, then each named config's overrides are layered on top. Later entries in the list win on any metric they define.
+
+```yaml

+    threshold_config: default
+
+  # Gets tighter CPU limits, default memory and disk

+
+  # Layers both: tighter CPU AND tighter disk, default memory
+  db-01:
+    threshold_config: [high_cpu_load, busy_disk]
+
+  # Three layers: busy_disk overrides high_cpu_load if they conflict
+  storage-01:
+    threshold_config: [default, high_cpu_load, busy_disk]
+```
+
+**How layering works:**
+
+Starting from the `default` thresholds:
+
+| Layer | Applied config | Effect |
+|-------|---------------|--------|
+| Base  | `default` | all default thresholds |
+| +1    | `high_cpu_load` | cpu_percent overridden to 60/75 |
+| +2    | `busy_disk` | disk percent overridden to 70/85; cpu_percent stays at 60/75 |
+
+Each named config only overrides the metrics it explicitly defines. Metrics not mentioned in a config inherit from the layers beneath.

-2. **Default config**: Use `default_threshold_config` 
-3. **First alphabetically**: If default not found, use first config alphabetically
-4. **Legacy fallback**: If `threshold_configs` not present, use `thresholds`
+1. **Host `threshold_config` (list)**: Layer each named config's overrides left-to-right on top of the defaults
+2. **Host `threshold_config` (string)**: Use that single named config directly
+3. **`host_threshold_mapping`** (legacy): Same as above, string only
+4. **`default_threshold_config`**: Used for hosts with no mapping
+5. **First alphabetically**: If the default config is not found, use the first config alphabetically
+6. **Legacy `thresholds` section**: Used when `threshold_configs` is absent entirely

+### Client-declared host ownership
+
+A host can declare its own owner directly in the hbc or hbc_mini client configuration. This is useful for hosts that are not listed in the server config, or during initial setup before a server-side config entry has been created.
+
+**`~/.hbc.yaml`** (hbc):
+```yaml
+owner: andreas
+```
+
+**`~/.hbc.json`** (hbc_mini):
+```json
+{ "owner": "andreas" }
+```
+
+When set, the value is included in the `os_info` plugin data sent to the server. The server applies it as `host.owner` the first time `os_info` arrives, provided no owner has been configured server-side for that host. Server-configured ownership always takes precedence.

+# Plugin Error Checking Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Improve plugin error checking in hbc, especially for nagios_runner, and fix logger messages silently discarded in daemon mode.
+
+**Architecture:** Three focused changes across three files: (1) `hbd/client/plugin.py` gains a `skip_reason` attribute on Plugin and updated PluginLoader messaging; (2) `hbd/client/plugins/nagios_runner.py` gains async subprocess execution, stderr capture, signal-killed process handling, and init-time command path validation; (3) `hbd/client/main.py` gains proper post-fork logging reconfiguration to syslog.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.11+, asyncio, `logging.handlers.SysLogHandler`, pytest
+
+---
+
+## File Map
+
+| Action | Path | What changes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Modify | `hbd/client/plugin.py` | `Plugin.__init__` gains `skip_reason`; `PluginLoader` checks it |
+| Modify | `hbd/client/plugins/nagios_runner.py` | async subprocess, stderr, signal codes, init validation, `skip_reason` |
+| Modify | `hbd/client/main.py` | `_reconfigure_logging_for_daemon()` helper; remove redundant syslog calls |
+| Create | `tests/test_plugin.py` | PluginLoader messaging tests |
+| Create | `tests/test_nagios_runner.py` | NagiosRunnerPlugin behaviour tests |
+
+Run tests throughout with:
+```bash
+python -m pytest tests/test_plugin.py tests/test_nagios_runner.py -v

+Expected: FAIL — `plugin.skip_reason` is `None`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Set skip_reason in NagiosRunnerPlugin.initialize()**
+
+In `hbd/client/plugins/nagios_runner.py`, replace the early-return block in `initialize()` (around line 96):

+Expected: all FAIL — current implementation ignores stderr and doesn't handle negative codes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update imports in nagios_runner.py**
+
+Replace the import block at the top of `hbd/client/plugins/nagios_runner.py`:
+
+```python
+import asyncio

+import re
+from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Tuple
+
+from hbd.client.plugin import MonitorPlugin
+```
+
+(Remove `import subprocess`; add `import asyncio` and `import os`.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Upgrade collection log level from DEBUG to INFO**
+
+In `hbd/client/plugins/nagios_runner.py`, in `_collect_metrics()`, change the debug log (around line 144) so results are visible at INFO level:
+
+```python
+                self.logger.info(
+                    f"Executed {name}: {STATUS_NAMES.get(status_code, 'UNKNOWN')} - {output[:50]}"
+                )
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Replace `_run_nagios_plugin` with async implementation**
+
+Replace the entire `_run_nagios_plugin` method in `hbd/client/plugins/nagios_runner.py`:

+
+Also remove the now-unused `self.shell` line from `__init__` (the `shell` config key is no longer used since `create_subprocess_shell` always uses a shell):
+
+In `NagiosRunnerPlugin.__init__`, remove:
+```python

+## Task 5: Daemon mode logging — route to syslog after fork
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hbd/client/main.py` (new helper + updated daemon block)
+
+No automated test for daemonization itself (fork behaviour is hard to unit-test). Manual verification steps are provided below.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add `_reconfigure_logging_for_daemon` helper**
+
+In `hbd/client/main.py`, add this function just before `def build_parser()` (around line 589):
+
+```python
+def _reconfigure_logging_for_daemon(log_level: int) -> None:
+    """Replace StreamHandlers (now writing to /dev/null) with a SysLogHandler."""
+    from logging.handlers import SysLogHandler
+
+    root = logging.getLogger()
+    for handler in root.handlers[:]:
+        root.removeHandler(handler)
+        handler.close()
+
+    try:
+        syslog_handler = SysLogHandler(
+            address="/dev/log",
+            facility=SysLogHandler.LOG_DAEMON,
+        )
+    except OSError:
+        syslog_handler = SysLogHandler(
+            address=("localhost", 514),
+            facility=SysLogHandler.LOG_DAEMON,
+        )
+        # Attach the fallback first so the warning reaches syslog
+        syslog_handler.setFormatter(
+            logging.Formatter("hbc[%(process)d]: %(name)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s")
+        )
+        root.addHandler(syslog_handler)
+        root.setLevel(log_level)
+        logging.warning("/dev/log not found, using syslog UDP localhost:514")
+        return
+
+    syslog_handler.setFormatter(
+        logging.Formatter("hbc[%(process)d]: %(name)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s")
+    )
+    root.addHandler(syslog_handler)
+    root.setLevel(log_level)
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update the daemon block in `main()`**
+
+In `hbd/client/main.py`, replace the entire `if args.daemon:` block (lines 664–675):
+
+```python
+    if args.daemon:
+        print("Daemonizing...")
+        daemonize()
+        _reconfigure_logging_for_daemon(log_level)
+        logging.info(f"hbc starting, sending heartbeat to {', '.join(args.hosts)}")
+```
+
+This removes the `import syslog`, `syslog.openlog()`, and `syslog.syslog()` calls (now handled by the logging system) and removes the no-op second `logging.basicConfig()` call.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run existing test suite to confirm no regressions**
+
+```bash
+python -m pytest tests/test_plugin.py tests/test_nagios_runner.py -v
+```
+Expected: all tests still PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Manual smoke test — verify syslog output in daemon mode**
+
+```bash
+# In one terminal, tail syslog
+sudo journalctl -f -t hbc
+
+# In another terminal, start hbc in daemon mode (replace HOST with a real or dummy host)
+python -m hbd.client.main -d -v localhost
+
+# Expected in journalctl output:
+#   hbc[<pid>]: hbc.main INFO: Starting hbc for <hostname> -> ['localhost']
+#   hbc[<pid>]: hbc.main INFO: hbc starting, sending heartbeat to localhost
+#   hbc[<pid>]: plugin.loader INFO: ...
+
+# Stop the daemon
+pkill -f "hbd.client.main"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hbd/client/main.py
+git commit -m "fix: reconfigure logging to syslog after daemonize() instead of no-op basicConfig"
+```

+# Gitea OAuth2 Authentication Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add Gitea as an OAuth2 login provider that coexists with password auth, auto-provisioning new users on first login.
+
+**Architecture:** A new `oauth.py` module owns all Gitea-specific logic (CSRF state, URL building, token exchange, user-info fetch). `users.py` gains one function to upsert an OAuth-sourced user. `http.py` gets two new route handlers and a small login-page change. No new dependencies — `aiohttp.ClientSession` is already used in the codebase.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.12, aiohttp 3.x, pytest, pytest-asyncio

+
+## Task 5: HTTP routes — redirect and callback
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hbd/server/http.py`
+
+`http.py` defines all handlers inside `async def start(...)`. The two new handlers go in the same block, just before the `app = web.Application()` line (~line 900). The import goes at the top of the file.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the import**
+
+In `hbd/server/http.py`, add after the existing local imports (after `from . import users as users_mod`):
+
+```python
+from . import oauth as oauth_mod
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the two route handlers**
+
+In `hbd/server/http.py`, add the two handlers immediately before the `app = web.Application()` line:
+
+```python
+    async def oauth_gitea_redirect(request):
+        """GET /login/oauth/gitea — kick off the Gitea OAuth2 flow."""
+        if not oauth_mod.is_enabled(config):

+        state = oauth_mod.make_state()
+        redirect_uri = f"{request.url.origin()}/login/oauth/gitea/callback"
+        raise web.HTTPFound(oauth_mod.authorization_url(config, state, redirect_uri))
+
+    async def oauth_gitea_callback(request):
+        """GET /login/oauth/gitea/callback — handle Gitea's redirect back."""
+        if not oauth_mod.is_enabled(config):
+            return web.Response(status=404, text="OAuth not configured")
+        code = request.rel_url.query.get("code", "")
+        state = request.rel_url.query.get("state", "")
+        if not code or not state:
+            return web.Response(status=400, text="Missing code or state")
+        if not oauth_mod.validate_state(state):
+            raise web.HTTPFound("/login?error=1")
+        redirect_uri = f"{request.url.origin()}/login/oauth/gitea/callback"
+        try:
+            token = await oauth_mod.exchange_code(config, code, redirect_uri)
+            profile = await oauth_mod.fetch_user(config, token)
+        except oauth_mod.OAuthError as exc:
+            logger.warning("OAuth error: %s", exc)
+            raise web.HTTPFound("/login?error=1")
+        user = users_mod.provision_oauth_user(
+            profile["login"],
+            profile["full_name"],
+            profile["avatar_url"],
+        )
+        session_token = users_mod.create_session(user.username)
+        resp = web.HTTPFound("/")
+        resp.set_cookie(
+            SESSION_COOKIE,
+            session_token,

+            httponly=True,
+            samesite="Lax",
+        )
+        raise resp
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Register the routes**
+
+In `hbd/server/http.py`, add to the route list after the existing auth routes (after `web.post("/api/0/auth/logout", api_logout)`):
+
+```python
+            web.get("/login/oauth/gitea",          oauth_gitea_redirect),
+            web.get("/login/oauth/gitea/callback", oauth_gitea_callback),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Manual smoke test**
+
+Start the server locally with OAuth configured in `~/.hb.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+oauth:
+  gitea:
+    url: https://your-gitea-instance.example.com
+    client_id: your-client-id
+    client_secret: your-client-secret
+```
+
+Visit `http://localhost:50004/login/oauth/gitea` — confirm you are redirected to Gitea's authorization page.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hbd/server/http.py
+git commit -m "feat: add Gitea OAuth2 redirect and callback routes"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Login page — "Sign in with Gitea" button
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hbd/server/http.py` (update `login_page` handler, ~line 625)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the login page HTML**
+
+In `hbd/server/http.py`, find the `html = f"""` block inside `login_page` and replace it with:
+
+```python
+        gitea_button = ""
+        if oauth_mod.is_enabled(config):

+  </div>
+</body>
+</html>"""
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the `_gitea_cfg_url` helper**
+
+Add this small helper in `hbd/server/http.py` just before the `login_page` handler (around line 600) so the template can read the Gitea display URL without importing internal oauth details:
+
+```python
+def _gitea_cfg_url(config: dict) -> str:
+    return config.get("oauth", {}).get("gitea", {}).get("url", "")
+```
+
+Also update the `login_page` handler's `error` logic to show the error when the `?error=1` query param is present (set by the callback on OAuth failure):
+
+```python
+    async def login_page(request):
+        """GET /login — show login form; POST /login — process and redirect."""
+        if not users_mod.users_enabled():
+            raise web.HTTPFound("/")
+
+        error = ""
+        if request.method == "POST":
+            form = await request.post()
+            username = form.get("username", "")
+            password = form.get("password", "")
+            user = users_mod.authenticate(username, password)
+            if user:
+                token = users_mod.create_session(username)
+                redirect_to = request.rel_url.query.get("next", "/")
+                resp = web.HTTPFound(redirect_to)
+                resp.set_cookie(
+                    SESSION_COOKIE,
+                    token,
+                    max_age=users_mod.SESSION_TTL,
+                    httponly=True,
+                    samesite="Lax",
+                )
+                raise resp
+            error = "Invalid username or password."
+        elif request.rel_url.query.get("error"):
+            error = "Sign-in failed. Please try again."
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Manual verification**
+
+Start the server with OAuth configured. Visit `/login`. Confirm:
+- The "Sign in with Gitea" button appears (green, below a divider)
+- Clicking it redirects to Gitea
+- After authorising on Gitea, you are redirected back and land on `/` with a valid session cookie
+
+Without OAuth configured, confirm the button does not appear.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hbd/server/http.py
+git commit -m "feat: add Sign in with Gitea button to login page"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review Notes
+
+- All 5 spec requirements covered: coexist ✓, auto-provision ✓, regular user ✓, any Gitea user ✓, config-driven ✓
+- `exchange_code` signature in Task 4 matches usage in Task 5 (`config, code, redirect_uri`) ✓
+- `fetch_user` returns `{login, full_name, avatar_url}` — matched in callback handler ✓
+- `validate_state` removes state on use (replay protection) ✓
+- `provision_oauth_user` skips empty strings so existing avatar/name aren't erased ✓
+- `_gitea_cfg_url` is a plain `def`, not `async` — safe to call in template prep ✓

+# Host Overview Info Section — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add an always-visible info section to each host card on `/plugins`, showing owner, managers, agent version/type, last packet timestamp, and effective thresholds; move hbc_version/hbc_type out of the os_info accordion.
+
+**Architecture:** A new `_build_host_info` module-level helper in `http.py` assembles the info dict from the host object and threshold_checker. A new `GET /api/0/hosts/{hostname}/info` closure inside `serve()` calls it and returns JSON. The `plugins.html` template adds a static placeholder div per host; JS fetches the endpoint on first card expand, caches the result, and renders it.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python/aiohttp (backend), Jinja2 (template), vanilla JS/HTML/CSS (frontend). Tests with pytest and unittest.mock.
+

+        return web.json_response(_build_host_info(host, threshold_checker=threshold_checker))
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Register the route**
+
+In the route list (around line 1271, after the existing `/api/0/hosts/{hostname}/access` routes):
+
+```python
+            web.get("/api/0/hosts/{hostname}/info", api_host_info),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the full test suite still passes**
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/ -q
+```
+
+Expected: all tests PASS (no regressions).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Smoke-test the endpoint manually** (if a dev server is running)
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:50004/api/0/hosts/<hostname>/info | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+Expected: JSON with `owner`, `managers`, `hbc_version`, `hbc_type`, `last_packet`, `thresholds` keys.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hbd/server/http.py
+git commit -m "feat: add GET /api/0/hosts/{hostname}/info endpoint"
+```
+

+
+### Task 3: Info section HTML and CSS in `plugins.html`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hbd/server/templates/plugins.html`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add CSS for the info section**
+
+In the `<style>` block (find the closing `</style>` tag around line 391 and insert before it):
+
+```css
+    /* ── Host info section ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── */
+    .host-info-section {
+      padding: 12px 16px;
+      background: #fafafa;
+      border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
+      font-size: 0.85em;
+    }
+    .info-meta {
+      display: grid;
+      grid-template-columns: max-content 1fr;
+      gap: 3px 14px;
+      margin-bottom: 10px;
+    }
+    .info-label { font-weight: 600; color: #555; white-space: nowrap; }
+    .info-value { color: #222; }
+    .info-thresholds-title {
+      font-weight: 600;
+      color: #555;
+      margin-bottom: 6px;
+    }
+    .info-note { color: #888; font-style: italic; }
+    .info-loading { color: #bbb; font-style: italic; }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add info section placeholder to each host card**
+
+Inside the host loop, at the very start of `.host-body` (before the `{% set plugin_order %}` line, around line 438):
+
+```html
+          <div class="host-body">
+            <div class="host-info-section" id="info-{{ host.name }}">
+              <div class="info-loading">Loading…</div>
+            </div>
+```
+
+The existing `{% set plugin_order %}` line and everything after stays unchanged. Only add the two new lines between `<div class="host-body">` and `{% set plugin_order %}`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the page still renders without JS errors**
+
+Start the dev server and open `/plugins` in a browser. Expand any host card — you should see the "Loading…" italic line above the plugin accordions (it will not be replaced yet, that comes in Task 4).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hbd/server/templates/plugins.html
+git commit -m "feat: add host info section placeholder and CSS to plugins.html"
+```
+

+
+### Task 4: JS — `infoCache`, `fetchHostInfo`, `renderInfoSection`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hbd/server/templates/plugins.html` (JS `<script>` block)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add `infoCache` constant**
+
+After the `pluginCache` declaration (after `const pluginCache = {};`, around line 489), add:
+
+```javascript
+      // infoCache[hostname] = info data object from /api/0/hosts/{hostname}/info
+      const infoCache = {};
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add `fetchHostInfo` function**
+
+After the existing `fetchPlugin` function (around line 522, before `fetchHostGlance`), add:
+
+```javascript
+      async function fetchHostInfo(hostname) {
+        const r = await fetch(`/api/0/hosts/${encodeURIComponent(hostname)}/info`);
+        if (!r.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${r.status}`);
+        return r.json();
+      }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add `renderInfoSection` function**
+
+After `fetchHostInfo` (before `fetchHostGlance`), add:
+
+```javascript
+      function renderInfoSection(hostname, data) {
+        const el = document.getElementById(`info-${hostname}`);

+
+### Task 5: Wire `fetchHostInfo` into `toggleHost`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hbd/server/templates/plugins.html` (the `toggleHost` function, around line 643)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace `toggleHost` with the updated version**
+
+Find the existing `toggleHost` function:
+
+```javascript
+      function toggleHost(hostname) {
+        const card = document.querySelector(`.host-card[data-hostname="${hostname}"]`);

+            });
+          }
+        }
+      }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Test in browser**
+
+Open `/plugins`, expand a host card. Verify:
+- The info section appears above the plugin accordions.
+- Owner, managers (or "—"), agent version, agent type, last packet render correctly.
+- Threshold table renders (or the appropriate "not configured" / "none defined" message).
+- Collapsing and re-expanding does not re-fetch (no second network request).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hbd/server/templates/plugins.html
+git commit -m "feat: fetch and render host info section on card expand"

+
+### Task 6: Remove `hbc_version` and `hbc_type` from `renderOsInfoTable`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hbd/server/templates/plugins.html` (the `renderOsInfoTable` function, around line 794)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update `renderOsInfoTable`**
+
+Find the existing function:

+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify in browser**
+
+Expand a host card, then expand the "Os Info" accordion. Confirm:
+- `hbc_version` no longer appears in the os_info table.
+- `hbc_type` no longer appears in the os_info table.
+- Both values are shown correctly in the info section at the top.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the full test suite**
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/ -q

+
+Expected: all tests PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash

+# Plugin Error Checking & Daemon Logging — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-25  
+**Scope:** hbc client — daemon mode logging, nagios_runner plugin robustness, PluginLoader messaging  
+**Files affected:** `hbd/client/main.py`, `hbd/client/plugins/nagios_runner.py`, `hbd/client/plugin.py`
+
+---
+
+## 1. Daemon Mode Logging
+
+### Problem
+In `main()`, `logging.basicConfig()` is called before `daemonize()` (establishing a StreamHandler to stderr), then called again after `daemonize()`. The second call is a no-op — Python ignores `basicConfig()` when handlers are already configured. After daemonization, stderr is redirected to `/dev/null`, so all subsequent log output is silently discarded.
+
+The existing `syslog.openlog()` / `syslog.syslog()` calls (lines 666–668) write a single startup message but do not integrate with the `logging` system, so plugin and connection log messages never reach syslog.
+
+### Fix
+After `daemonize()`, explicitly reconfigure the root logger:
+
+1. Remove all existing handlers (they now write to `/dev/null`).
+2. Add `logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address='/dev/log', facility=LOG_DAEMON)`.
+3. Set formatter: `hbc[%(process)d]: %(name)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s`
+4. Preserve the `log_level` already determined from `-v`/`-x` CLI flags.
+
+Remove the redundant `syslog.openlog()` / `syslog.syslog()` calls — the logging system handles routing.
+
+**Fallback:** If `/dev/log` does not exist (containers, some BSDs), fall back to `SysLogHandler(address=('localhost', 514))`. Log one warning (to stderr, before handlers are replaced) so the operator knows.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Nagios Runner Improvements
+
+### 2a — Async Subprocess
+`_run_nagios_plugin()` is declared `async def` but calls `subprocess.run()` synchronously, blocking the event loop for the full command duration.
+
+**Fix:** Replace with `asyncio.create_subprocess_shell()` + `await proc.communicate()`. Enforce timeout with `asyncio.wait_for(..., timeout=self.timeout)` and catch `asyncio.TimeoutError`.
+
+### 2b — Stderr Capture
+Subprocess stderr is currently discarded (`capture_output=True` only captures stdout in the sync call; stderr content is lost).
+
+**Fix:** Pass `stderr=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE` to `create_subprocess_shell`. After `communicate()`, if stdout is empty but stderr has content, use stderr as the output message. If both have content, append stderr to the output for visibility.
+
+### 2c — Negative Return Codes
+A negative `returncode` means the process was killed by a signal (SIGKILL, OOM, etc.). The current code treats these as-is, which may produce unexpected status values.
+
+**Fix:** If `returncode < 0`, map to `NAGIOS_UNKNOWN` with message `"Process killed by signal {-returncode}"`.
+
+### 2d — Command Path Validation at Init
+`initialize()` currently only checks that the commands list is non-empty.
+
+**Fix:** For each command entry during `initialize()`:
+- Warn and skip the entry if `name` or `command` is missing.
+- Extract the executable (first whitespace-delimited token of the command string).
+- If the executable is an absolute path, check `os.path.isfile()` and `os.access(..., os.X_OK)`. Log a `WARNING` if either check fails.
+- Commands with relative paths or shell builtins are not checked (they may be on PATH) — just noted.
+- Validation warns only; all original entries in `self.commands` are retained and still attempted at collection time (where the existing missing-name/command guard already skips them). The plugin initializes successfully as long as the commands list is non-empty.
+
+---
+
+## 3. PluginLoader Messaging
+
+### Problem
+When `initialize()` returns `False`, the loader always logs:
+> `WARNING: Plugin X failed initialization, skipping`
+
+This is alarming when the real reason is simply "no commands configured". There is no API to distinguish "not configured" from "genuinely broken".
+
+### Fix
+Add an optional `skip_reason` attribute to `Plugin.__init__()` (defaults to `None`).
+
+In `PluginLoader.load_from_directory()`, after `initialize()` returns `False`:
+- If `plugin.skip_reason` is set → `logger.info(f"Plugin {plugin.name} skipped: {plugin.skip_reason}")`
+- If `plugin.skip_reason` is `None` → `logger.warning(f"Plugin {plugin.name} failed initialization, skipping")` (existing behaviour)
+
+In `NagiosRunnerPlugin.initialize()`, when no commands are configured:
+```python
+self.skip_reason = "no commands configured (add nagios_runner.commands to config)"
+return False
+```
+
+Genuine failures (exceptions) continue to go through the existing `except` block in the loader, logging at `ERROR` with traceback — unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Topic | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Daemon log destination | syslog only (LOG_DAEMON facility) |
+| Syslog fallback | localhost:514 UDP if `/dev/log` absent |
+| Nagios result log level | INFO for all statuses (OK/WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN) |
+| Invalid command handling at init | Warn and continue; still attempt at collection time |
+| PluginLoader API change | `skip_reason` attribute on Plugin base class, checked by loader |

+# Gitea OAuth2 Authentication — Design Spec
+
+Date: 2026-05-08
+
+## Overview
+
+Add Gitea as an OAuth2 login provider alongside the existing username/password
+authentication. Any user on the configured Gitea instance can sign in; their
+local account is auto-provisioned on first login as a regular (non-admin) user.
+Password login continues to work unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Config
+
+A new optional `oauth.gitea` block in `~/.hb.yaml`. OAuth is disabled when the
+block is absent or any of the three required keys is missing.
+
+```yaml
+oauth:
+  gitea:
+    url: https://git.example.com   # Gitea base URL, no trailing slash
+    client_id: <gitea-app-client-id>
+    client_secret: <gitea-app-client-secret>
+```
+
+**Gitea setup:** Create an OAuth2 application in Gitea under
+*Settings → Applications → OAuth2*. Set the redirect URI to
+`https://<hbd-host>/login/oauth/gitea/callback`.
+
+`config.py` default:
+
+```python
+"oauth": {},
+```
+
+---
+
+## New module: `hbd/server/oauth.py`
+
+Owns all OAuth2 logic. No new dependencies — uses `aiohttp.ClientSession`
+already present in the codebase.
+
+### CSRF state store
+
+```python
+# state -> expires (float)
+_states: dict[str, float] = {}
+STATE_TTL = 600  # 10 minutes
+```
+
+`_states` is an in-memory dict. Entries are created on redirect and deleted on
+use or expiry. A purge runs on every new state generation.
+
+### Public API
+
+| Function | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `is_enabled(config)` | Returns `True` when url, client_id, and client_secret are all set |
+| `make_state()` | Generates a random state token, stores it with TTL, returns it |
+| `validate_state(state)` | Returns `True` and removes the state if valid and unexpired |
+| `authorization_url(config, state, redirect_uri)` | Builds the Gitea `/login/oauth/authorize` redirect URL with `client_id`, `redirect_uri`, `scope=user:email`, `state` |
+| `exchange_code(config, code, redirect_uri)` async | POSTs to Gitea `/login/oauth/access_token` with code and redirect_uri, returns the access token string or raises `OAuthError` |
+| `fetch_user(config, token)` async | GETs Gitea `/api/v1/user` with Bearer token, returns `{"login", "full_name", "avatar_url"}` or raises `OAuthError` |
+
+### Error handling
+
+`OAuthError(message)` is a module-level exception. The callback route catches it
+and renders the login page with an error message — identical to an invalid
+password error in UX terms.
+
+Network timeouts use a 10-second `aiohttp` timeout. Any non-2xx response from
+Gitea raises `OAuthError`.
+
+---
+
+## Change: `hbd/server/users.py`
+
+One new function added to the public API:
+
+```python
+def provision_oauth_user(username: str, full_name: str, avatar: str) -> User:
+```
+
+- If the username does not exist in the live `users` dict, creates a `User`
+  with no `password_hash` (so password login is impossible for this account)
+  and inserts it.
+- If the username already exists (e.g. was defined in config with a password),
+  updates `full_name` and `avatar` from the OAuth profile and returns the
+  existing user unchanged in all other respects (preserving admin flag,
+  notification channels, etc.).
+- Logs a one-line INFO message on first provision.
+
+---
+
+## Changes: `hbd/server/http.py`
+
+### Two new route handlers
+
+**`GET /login/oauth/gitea`**
+
+1. Checks `oauth.is_enabled(config)` — returns 404 if not.
+2. Calls `oauth.make_state()`.
+3. Constructs `redirect_uri` as `{request.url.origin()}/login/oauth/gitea/callback` using aiohttp's `request.url.origin()`.
+4. Redirects the browser to `oauth.authorization_url(config, state, redirect_uri)`.
+
+**`GET /login/oauth/gitea/callback`**
+
+1. Reads `code` and `state` query params; returns 400 if either is missing.
+2. Calls `oauth.validate_state(state)` — redirects to `/login` with error if
+   invalid (CSRF or replay protection).
+3. Reconstructs the same `redirect_uri` as the redirect handler (required by OAuth2 spec for token exchange).
+4. Calls `await oauth.exchange_code(config, code, redirect_uri)` to get the access token.
+4. Calls `await oauth.fetch_user(config, token)` to get the Gitea user profile.
+5. Calls `users_mod.provision_oauth_user(login, full_name, avatar_url)`.
+6. Calls `users_mod.create_session(username)` to get a session token.
+7. Sets `hbd_session` cookie (same flags as password login: httponly, Lax,
+   24h TTL).
+8. Redirects to `/`.
+9. Any `OAuthError` re-renders the login page with a generic error message.
+
+### Login page change
+
+When `oauth.is_enabled(config)` is `True`, the existing login form gains a
+separator and a "Sign in with Gitea" link button pointing to
+`/login/oauth/gitea`. The password form is always rendered regardless.
+
+### Route registration
+
+```python
+web.get("/login/oauth/gitea",          oauth_redirect),
+web.get("/login/oauth/gitea/callback", oauth_callback),
+```
+
+Added alongside the existing `/login` and `/logout` routes.
+

+## Testing
+
+- `test_oauth_state`: `make_state` + `validate_state` happy path; expired state
+  returns False; replay (double-use) returns False.
+- `test_provision_oauth_user_new`: new username creates User with no password.
+- `test_provision_oauth_user_existing`: existing config user updates name/avatar,
+  preserves admin flag and notification_channels.
+- `test_oauth_callback_invalid_state`: callback with bad state redirects to login.
+- Integration: mock Gitea endpoints with `aiohttp_client` fixture; full
+  redirect → callback → session cookie flow.
+
+---
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Restricting login to specific Gitea organisations or teams.
+- Making OAuth users admin automatically.
+- Multiple OAuth providers.
+- Token refresh (Gitea access tokens are long-lived; the hbd session TTL governs
+  re-authentication).

+# Config Editor — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-09
+**Status:** Approved
+
+## Goal
+
+Allow admins to edit the full `.hb.yaml` config through the Settings page UI, and allow regular users to manage their own notification channels and profile fields through the Profile page. The YAML file remains the single authoritative source; comments are preserved on every write.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+```
+Browser (admin)                     Browser (user)
+  staged edits (JS state)             form fields
+        │                                  │
+        │ POST /api/0/config               │ PUT /api/0/users/me
+        ▼                                  ▼
+  http.py handlers ────────────────────────┘
+        │
+        ▼
+  configio.py   ←── ruamel.yaml (round-trip, comment-preserving)
+        │
+        ├── backup .hb.yaml.bak.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS  (keep last 10)
+        ├── write atomically (temp file → os.replace)
+        └── ReloadableConfig.reload()
+```
+
+---
+
+## New Dependency
+
+Add `ruamel.yaml>=0.18` to `[project.optional-dependencies] server` in `pyproject.toml`. `PyYAML` stays (used by the client and config loader for reads); `ruamel.yaml` is used only for write-back.
+
+---
+
+## New Module: `hbd/server/configio.py`
+
+Single responsibility: all YAML read/write for `.hb.yaml`.
+
+```python
+_write_lock = threading.Lock()
+
+def read_roundtrip(path: str) -> CommentedMap:
+    """Load .hb.yaml with ruamel.yaml, preserving comments and ordering."""
+
+def write_config(path: str, data: CommentedMap) -> None:
+    """Backup current file, then atomically write data.
+
+    Backup naming: {path}.bak.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
+    Rotation: keep the 10 most recent backups, delete older ones.
+    Atomic write: write to {path}.tmp, then os.replace({path}.tmp, path).
+    Acquires _write_lock for the full backup+write sequence.
+    """
+
+def list_backups(path: str) -> list[str]:
+    """Return backup paths sorted newest-first."""
+
+def apply_structured_section(data: CommentedMap, section: str, values: dict) -> None:
+    """Merge a dict of scalar/list values into data[section], key by key.
+    Preserves comments on unmodified keys.
+    """
+
+def apply_yaml_section(data: CommentedMap, section: str, yaml_text: str) -> None:
+    """Replace data[section] entirely by parsing yaml_text.
+    Used for YAML-editor sections (notification_channels, thresholds, hosts, dns).
+    """
+```
+
+---
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+All endpoints require authentication. Admin-only endpoints return 403 for non-admins.
+
+| Method | Path | Auth | Purpose |
+|--------|------|------|---------|
+| GET | `/api/0/config` | admin | Full config as JSON (secrets masked) |
+| POST | `/api/0/config` | admin | Publish staged changes to `.hb.yaml` |
+| GET | `/api/0/config/section/{name}` | admin | Raw YAML text for one section (for YAML editors) |
+| GET | `/api/0/config/backups` | admin | List of backup timestamps, newest first |
+| POST | `/api/0/config/rollback` | admin | `{"backup": "…"}` → restore backup and reload |
+| PUT | `/api/0/users/me` | any user | Update own `full_name`, `avatar`, `notification_channels`, `password` |
+
+### `POST /api/0/config` payload
+
+```json
+{
+  "server":                 { "hbd_port": 50004, "interval": 20, ... },
+  "users":                  { "alice": { "full_name": "Alice", "admin": true, ... }, ... },
+  "oauth":                  { "gitea": { "type": "gitea", "url": "...", ... }, ... },
+  "notification_channels":  "<raw yaml text>",
+  "thresholds":             "<raw yaml text>",
+  "hosts":                  "<raw yaml text>",
+  "dns":                    "<raw yaml text>"
+}
+```
+
+Only sections present in the payload are updated; omitted sections are left unchanged in the file.
+
+**Section-to-key mapping:** Most config fields are top-level keys in `.hb.yaml` (not nested under a section key). The API uses logical section names that map to specific top-level keys:
+
+| Logical section | Top-level YAML keys covered |
+|---|---|
+| `server` | `hbd_port`, `hbd_host`, `ws_port`, `wss_port`, `hb_port`, `interval`, `grace`, `base_url`, `threshold_renotify_interval`, `logfile`, `pidfile`, `pickfile`, `journal_enabled`, `journal_dir`, `journal_max_size`, `journal_max_backups`, `default_owner` |
+| `users` | `users` (top-level dict) |
+| `oauth` | `oauth` (top-level dict) |
+| `notification_channels` | `notification_channels` (top-level dict, YAML text) |
+| `thresholds` | `threshold_configs` (top-level dict if present, YAML text) |
+| `hosts` | `hosts` (top-level dict, YAML text) |
+| `dns` | `nsupdate_bin`, `dyndomains`, `dyndnshosts`, `drophosts` (YAML text of just these keys) |
+
+`apply_structured_section` for `server` iterates the known key list and updates each present key individually, preserving comments on unchanged keys. `apply_yaml_section` for dict-valued sections (notification_channels, hosts, oauth) replaces the entire subtree. For `dns`, it replaces each of the four top-level keys listed.
+
+### `PUT /api/0/users/me` payload
+
+```json
+{
+  "full_name": "Alice Smith",
+  "avatar": "/avatars/alice.png",
+  "notification_channels": ["pushover_ops", "matrix_alerts"],
+  "password": { "current": "oldpass", "new": "newpass" }
+}
+```
+
+All fields are optional. `password` change requires `current` to match; server re-hashes with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 before writing. Both `full_name`/`avatar`/`notification_channels` and password can be sent in one request or separately.
+
+---
+
+## Settings Page Changes (`/settings`)
+
+### Section split
+
+| Section | Edit mode | Notes |
+|---------|-----------|-------|
+| Server settings | Form | Scalar fields: ports, intervals, base_url, grace, renotify interval, log/pid/pickle paths, journal settings |
+| Users | Form | CRUD list: add/edit/delete users; fields: username, full_name, avatar, admin toggle, notification_channels multiselect. Password field: leave blank to keep existing hash; enter a new plain-text password to replace it (server hashes before writing). New users require a password. |
+| OAuth providers | Form | CRUD list: add/edit/delete providers; fields: name (slug), type, url, client_id, client_secret, label, logo |
+| Notification channels | YAML editor | Too many provider-specific credential shapes for typed forms |
+| Thresholds | YAML editor | Complex nested rules |
+| Hosts | YAML editor | Complex per-host config |
+| DNS / DynDNS | YAML editor | nsupdate settings, dyndomains, drophosts |
+
+### Publish flow
+
+1. Each section has a **"Stage changes"** button. Clicking it stores that section's current form/editor values in browser JS state. A banner appears: *"N pending changes — not yet saved to .hb.yaml"*.
+2. **"Publish to .hb.yaml"** sends `POST /api/0/config` with all staged sections.
+3. On success: banner clears, page reloads to show current saved state.
+4. **"Discard all"** clears JS state and reloads from server without writing.
+
+### Rollback UI
+
+A "View backups / rollback" link at the bottom of the settings sidebar opens a modal listing available backups (timestamp + approximate age). Clicking a backup shows a confirmation prompt before calling `POST /api/0/config/rollback`.
+
+### `settings.py` changes
+
+- Set `"editable": True` on all fields that now have form inputs.
+- The existing field descriptor structure (`key`, `type`, `label`, `value`, `sensitive`) is already designed for this — no structural changes needed.
+- Add `"section_mode": "form" | "yaml"` per section, used by the template to render the appropriate editor.
+
+---
+
+## Profile Page Changes (`/profile`)
+
+New editable fields alongside the existing read-only display:
+
+**Identity card** (saves via `PUT /api/0/users/me`):
+- Display name — text input, current `full_name`
+- Avatar — text input, current `avatar` URL or path
+- Save button → immediate write, no publish step
+
+**Change password** (saves via `PUT /api/0/users/me`):
+- Current password, new password inputs
+- Save button → validates current password server-side, re-hashes new password, writes
+
+**Notification channels** (saves via `PUT /api/0/users/me`):
+- Checkbox list of all globally-defined channels (from `config["notification_channels"]`)
+- Shows channel type and `min_level` as secondary text
+- Pre-checked based on user's current `notification_channels` list
+- Save button → writes user's channel list immediately
+
+Host access list remains read-only (existing behaviour).
+
+---
+
+## Write Safety
+
+- `configio._write_lock` serializes all writes (admin publish and user self-service can race if multiple requests arrive simultaneously).
+- All writes are atomic: temp file written in same directory as `.hb.yaml`, then `os.replace()`. A crash mid-write leaves the backup intact and the original file unchanged.
+- If `.hb.yaml` cannot be written (permissions, disk full), the API returns `500` with an error message; no partial write occurs.
+
+---
+
+## Secrets Handling
+
+- `GET /api/0/config` masks sensitive fields (passwords, tokens, API keys) with `"•••"` — same logic as the existing read-only settings page.
+- `GET /api/0/config/section/{name}` for YAML-editor sections returns the raw YAML text including real credential values, since the admin needs to edit them. This endpoint requires admin auth and must only be served over HTTPS in production.
+- Secrets in backups are unmasked (they are copies of the real file). Backup directory should have the same file permissions as `.hb.yaml` itself.
+
+---
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Conflict detection if `.hb.yaml` is modified externally between page load and publish (the last write wins; the previous state is always recoverable from a backup)
+- Multi-admin concurrent edit awareness
+- Config validation UI beyond what the server returns as errors
+- Diff view before publish
+- Audit log of who published what (beyond the event log entry already added for login/logout)
+- Per-host threshold editing via UI (thresholds section uses YAML editor)

+# Multi-Provider OAuth2 — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-09
+**Status:** Approved
+
+## Goal
+
+Allow multiple OAuth2 providers to be configured simultaneously. All enabled providers appear as login buttons on the login panel. Supported provider types: Gitea, GitHub, Nextcloud. Existing single-Gitea configs continue to work without changes.
+
+---
+
+## Config Format
+
+Each entry in the `oauth` dict is a named provider instance. The dict key becomes the route slug.
+
+```yaml
+oauth:
+  work-gitea:          # /login/oauth/work-gitea
+    type: gitea        # optional — defaults to "gitea" when absent (backward compat)
+    url: https://git.example.com
+    client_id: xxx
+    client_secret: yyy
+    label: "Work Gitea"   # optional display name; falls back to provider default
+    logo: https://…       # optional logo URL for button
+  github:
+    type: github       # no url needed — fixed SaaS endpoints
+    client_id: xxx
+    client_secret: yyy
+  nextcloud:
+    type: nextcloud
+    url: https://cloud.example.com
+    client_id: xxx
+    client_secret: yyy
+```
+
+**Backward compatibility:** The existing `oauth.gitea.{url,client_id,client_secret}` config (no `type` field) is treated as `type: gitea`. No migration required.
+
+**Validation:** Entries missing `client_id`, `client_secret`, or `url` (when the provider type requires it) are skipped with a warning log. This prevents a misconfigured entry from disabling all OAuth.
+
+---
+
+## Provider Registry (`oauth.py`)
+
+A `PROVIDER_DEFS` dict holds static knowledge about each supported provider type:
+
+| | gitea | github | nextcloud |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| authorize URL | `{url}/login/oauth/authorize` | `https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize` | `{url}/apps/oauth2/authorize` |
+| token URL | `{url}/login/oauth/access_token` | `https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token` | `{url}/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token` |
+| profile URL | `{url}/api/v1/user` | `https://api.github.com/user` | `{url}/ocs/v2.php/cloud/user?format=json` |
+| scope | `user:email` | `read:user` | *(empty)* |
+| username field | `login` | `login` | nested: `ocs.data.id` |
+| display name field | `full_name` | `name` | nested: `ocs.data.display-name` |
+| avatar field | `avatar_url` | `avatar_url` | *(absent — left empty)* |
+| requires `url` | yes | no | yes |
+| default label | `Gitea` | `GitHub` | `Nextcloud` |
+
+Nextcloud's profile response is nested (`ocs → data`). The registry entry includes a `profile_data_path: ["ocs", "data"]` that is navigated before field extraction.
+
+---
+
+## New / Changed API in `oauth.py`
+
+### `ResolvedProvider` (new dataclass)
+
+All endpoint URLs are pre-computed strings (no more template substitution at call time):
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class ResolvedProvider:
+    name: str            # route slug (dict key)
+    type: str            # "gitea" | "github" | "nextcloud"
+    label: str           # display name for login button
+    logo: str            # URL or ""
+    authorize_url: str
+    token_url: str
+    profile_url: str
+    scope: str
+    client_id: str
+    client_secret: str
+    field_map: dict      # {"username": "<provider_field>", "full_name": ..., "avatar": ...}
+    profile_data_path: list[str]  # e.g. ["ocs", "data"] or []
+```
+
+### `get_providers(config) → list[ResolvedProvider]` (new)
+
+Iterates `config.get("oauth", {})`, resolves each valid entry against `PROVIDER_DEFS`, skips invalid entries. Returns providers in config declaration order (determines button order on login page).
+
+### `build_auth_url(provider, state, redirect_uri)` (updated signature)
+
+Takes a `ResolvedProvider`. Uses `provider.authorize_url`, `provider.scope`, `provider.client_id`.
+
+### `exchange_code(provider, code, redirect_uri)` (updated signature)
+
+Takes a `ResolvedProvider`. Sets `Accept: application/json` on all token requests (required for GitHub, harmless for others).
+
+### `fetch_user(provider, access_token)` (updated signature)
+
+Takes a `ResolvedProvider`. After fetching the profile JSON, navigates `provider.profile_data_path` before applying `provider.field_map`. Missing fields (e.g., Nextcloud avatar) are mapped to `""`.
+
+### `is_enabled(config)` (updated)
+
+Returns `True` if `get_providers(config)` returns at least one provider.
+
+---
+
+## Routes (`http.py`)
+
+Replace the two hardcoded Gitea routes with generic ones:
+
+```
+GET /login/oauth/{name}            initiate OAuth flow
+GET /login/oauth/{name}/callback   receive code, provision user, set session
+```
+
+Both handlers resolve `{name}` via `get_providers(config)`. If the name is not found, return 404. Existing `/login/oauth/gitea` URLs continue to work as long as the config has a `gitea` key.
+
+---
+
+## Login Page (`http.py`)
+
+The "or" divider appears once if any providers are configured. Below it, one button per provider stacks vertically. Button appearance mirrors the current Gitea button (same CSS class, optional logo img). Button `href` is `/login/oauth/{provider.name}`.
+
+---
+
+## Tests (`tests/test_oauth.py`)
+
+**Updated:** Existing tests for `build_auth_url`, `exchange_code`, `fetch_user`, `is_enabled` ported to new `ResolvedProvider`-based signatures.
+
+**New:**
+- `get_providers()` with old single-Gitea config (no `type`) → one provider, backward compat confirmed
+- `get_providers()` with Gitea + GitHub + Nextcloud → correct count, types, and labels
+- `get_providers()` skips entry missing `client_id` or `client_secret`
+- `get_providers()` skips Gitea/Nextcloud entry missing `url`
+- `get_providers()` skips entry with unknown `type` (logs warning)
+- `build_auth_url` for each provider type → correct authorize URL
+- `exchange_code` for GitHub → `Accept: application/json` header present
+- `fetch_user` for Nextcloud → `ocs.data` navigation, missing avatar handled as `""`
+- Login page HTML → one button per provider; no buttons when `oauth` is empty
+
+---
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Generic/custom provider with user-specified endpoints
+- OIDC / token introspection
+- Restricting login to specific GitHub orgs or Nextcloud groups
+- Automatic admin promotion from OAuth
+- Token refresh

+# Host Overview Info Section
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-10  
+**Status:** Approved
+
+## Summary
+
+Add an always-visible info section to each host card on the Host Overview (`/plugins`) page. The section shows owner, managers, agent version/type, last packet timestamp, and the host's effective alert thresholds. The fields `hbc_version` and `hbc_type` are moved out of the `os_info` plugin accordion into this section.
+
+---
+
+## Backend: New API Endpoint
+
+**Route:** `GET /api/0/hosts/{hostname}/info`
+
+**Auth:** Same as other per-host endpoints (`_can_view_host`).
+
+**Response schema:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "owner":       "alice",
+  "managers":    ["bob", "carol"],
+  "hbc_version": "5.3.0",
+  "hbc_type":    "full",
+  "last_packet": 1746894000.0,
+  "thresholds": [
+    {
+      "metric":    "cpu_monitor.cpu_percent",
+      "warning":   80.0,
+      "critical":  95.0,
+      "operator":  ">"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Field details:**
+
+- `owner` — `host.owner`, or `null` if unset.
+- `managers` — `host.managers` list (may be empty).
+- `hbc_version` — from `host.get_latest_plugin_data("os_info")`, key `hbc_version`; `null` if no os_info data.
+- `hbc_type` — same source, key `hbc_type`; `null` if unavailable.
+- `last_packet` — `max(conn.lastbeat for conn in host.connections.values())`, or `null` if no connections.
+- `thresholds` — list derived from `threshold_checker.get_thresholds_for_host(hostname)`, sorted by `metric` ascending. Each entry includes `metric`, `warning` (null if unset), `critical` (null if unset), `operator`. Returns `null` (not `[]`) if no `threshold_checker` is configured, so the frontend can distinguish "not configured" from "configured but empty".
+
+**Location:** `hbd/server/http.py`, added alongside the other `api_host_*` functions. Registered as `web.get("/api/0/hosts/{hostname}/info", api_host_info)`.
+
+---
+
+## Frontend: Info Section
+
+### HTML structure
+
+Inserted as the first child of `.host-body`, before the plugin accordions. It is not a collapsible accordion — it is always visible when the host card is expanded.
+
+```html
+<div class="host-info-section" id="info-{hostname}">
+  <div class="loading">Loading…</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Fetch lifecycle
+
+- Fetched once per host on the first expansion of the host card (same trigger as the glance/plugin data).
+- Result cached in a new per-host `infoCache` object (parallel to `pluginCache`).
+- On subsequent expansions the cached data is rendered immediately without a new request.
+
+### Rendered layout
+
+Two logical areas rendered client-side from the JSON:
+
+**Meta row** — a CSS-grid or simple `<dl>` showing:
+
+| Label         | Value                        |
+|---------------|------------------------------|
+| Owner         | alice (or "—" if null)       |
+| Managers      | bob, carol (or "—" if empty) |
+| Agent Version | 5.3.0 (or "—")               |
+| Agent Type    | full (or "—")                |
+| Last Packet   | localized datetime string (or "—") |
+
+**Threshold table** — rendered with the existing `data-table` CSS class:
+
+| Metric | Operator | Warning | Critical |
+|--------|----------|---------|----------|
+| cpu_monitor.cpu_percent | > | 80 | 95 |
+| … | … | … | … |
+
+- If `thresholds` is `null`: show "Threshold alerting not configured."
+- If `thresholds` is `[]`: show "No thresholds defined."
+- Numeric threshold values rendered as-is (no units); `null` warning/critical shown as "—".
+
+### CSS
+
+New `.host-info-section` styles added in the `<style>` block of `plugins.html`. The section gets a subtle background (e.g. `#fafafa`) and a bottom border to separate it visually from the plugin accordions below. The meta row uses a two-column grid layout for compactness.
+
+---
+
+## Changes to `renderOsInfoTable()`
+
+- Remove `hbc_version` from the `ORDER` array.
+- Add `hbc_type` to the `SKIP_FIELDS` set (or the local `shown` set) so it is excluded from the os_info table.
+
+Both fields will now appear only in the info section.
+
+---
+
+## Data Flow Summary
+
+```
+User expands host card
+  → toggleHost()
+    → fetchGlanceData(hostname)   [existing, unchanged]
+    → fetchInfoData(hostname)     [new]
+        GET /api/0/hosts/{hostname}/info
+        → renderInfoSection(hostname, data)
+          → writes into #info-{hostname}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If the info fetch fails (non-200), show a one-line error message in the info section ("Could not load host info.").
+- If `hbc_version`/`hbc_type` are null (host has never sent os_info), display "—".
+- If `last_packet` is null (no connections recorded), display "—".

+---
+

-Plan the following changes, ask questions to clarify before implementing
-
-Re-factor the notification system:
-- use available libraries for pushover, matrix, email and sms notifications.
-- notifications have a title/subject:  alert_type (recover/warning/critical), a body (info from threshold check) and a link to the host plugin metrix page
-- define a list of notification channels for each user
-- notifications are dispatched to users that are listed as managers for the host

-1 - correct
-2 - for now channels are defined globaly 
-3 - matrix-nio)sounds good, homeserver URL, access token, room ID per channel?
-4 - use the REST api provided by https://voip.ms/api/v1/rest.php
-5 - The page does not exist yet, point at the host tab in the /plugins
-6 - per-channel minimum severity is a good idea, go fo it
-7 - yes
-
-1 - use base_url, there might not have been any incoming requests yet
-2 - use same asyncio loop for matrix-nio
-3 - for now, just silently do nothing
