+## [1.4.0] - 2026-07-26
+
+### Added
+- **Standalone mode** — run the jump host with no LDAP directory and no SSO Manager at all. Set `standalone.enabled: true` and user authentication and host discovery switch to `@simpleworkjs/orm`-backed stores (Sequelize; SQLite by default, any Sequelize-supported dialect via `conf.orm`) instead of the directory services. `models/user_ldap.js` and `utils/access.js` become conditional facades that pick their backend at require time — `ssh_server.js`, `bridge.js`, `key_inject.js`, `tui_picker.js`, and the web UI are unchanged either way.
+- New ORM models: `StandaloneUser` (`uid`, `passwordHash`, `sshPublicKeys`, `groups`) and `StandaloneHost` (`slug`, `displayName`, `kind`, `metadata`), plus `models/user_file.js` and `utils/hosts_file.js`, which implement the same interfaces as the LDAP client and `accessibleHosts()` respectively. There's no admin UI for standalone users/hosts yet — see the README's "Standalone mode" section for the ORM-model seeding snippet. In standalone mode every stored host is reachable by every stored user; there's no group-based authorization yet.
+- 47 tests pass (24 existing + 15 new unit + 3 existing integration + 5 new standalone integration).
+
+### Fixed
+- **`services/ssh_server.js` used `|| 2222` for the listen port**, so an explicit `listenPort: 0` (ephemeral port, used by the test suite) was silently overridden back to 2222. Changed to `?? 2222`.
+- **`services/ssh_server.js` awaited `audit.create()` before registering session listeners.** A client that sends `exec`/`shell` immediately after connecting could have its request dropped because nothing was listening yet. Listener registration now happens first.
+
+## [1.3.0] - 2026-07-26
+
+### Changed
+- **Unified the front-end UI shell across the three theta42 apps.** `views/top.ejs`, `views/bottom.ejs` and `public/lib/js/app-base.js` are now byte-identical in sso-manager-node, proxy and jump-host, so the apps look and behave the same and a shell change lands in one edit per repo instead of three divergent ones. Everything that differs between the apps moved into a new `nodejs/utils/ui.js`, exposed to every render as `ui` via `app.locals`: nav items and the groups that may see them, footer repo/license/docs/Terms links, favicon, the profile and post-logout targets, and whether the update banner exists at all.
+- **One nav-gating model everywhere.** `app-base.js` reveals `.group-required-<cn>` elements for each group the current user is in, read from `GET /api/user/me`. sso-manager-node reports LDAP DNs in `memberOf` and the OIDC clients report CNs in `groups`; both normalise to CNs client-side, and the clients' effective-rights `isAdmin` flag is exposed as a synthetic `admin` group — so one gating model covers a group-based provider and boolean-admin clients without either app learning the other's response shape.
+- **`GET /api/user/me` is fetched once per page load and cached** (`app.auth.loadUser`). The nav, per-view `forceLogin` and every group-gated element read that one promise instead of issuing their own request.
+- `app.auth.isLoggedIn` is dual-mode: it returns a Promise **and** invokes an optional node-style callback, so the async and callback call styles both work against one shared `top.ejs`.
+- `app.auth.forceLogin` no longer uses `$.holdReady` (removed in jQuery 4). An unauthenticated user is redirected to `/login?redirect=<path>`; group requirements are still enforced, and `logOut` now only clears the session, leaving the destination to the caller (`ui.logoutRedirect`).
+- Dependency alignment across all three apps: `jquery` `^4.0.0` and `ejs` `^3.1.10`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **`app.api.delete` dropped its callback when called by `formAJAX`.** `formAJAX` always passes the serialized form as the second argument, so a DELETE-method form's callback landed in the data slot and never ran. `delete` now accepts both `(url, callback)` and `(url, data, callback)`.
+- **`app.api.post`/`put` referenced an undefined `callback2`** and threw when handed a non-function callback. Both are now dual-mode Promise/callback.
+- **The login page's "reveal the card once we know you're logged out" branch threw** (`Cannot read properties of null`) whenever the logged-in check answered before the parser reached that element — which it always did without a stored token. It now runs on DOM ready.
+- **`logInRedirect` on the legacy `/login/<path>` form kept only the path.** The OIDC provider routes an unauthenticated authorization request through `/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=…&state=…`; dropping the query there loses the entire authorization request. The suffix form now preserves its query string.
+
+### Added
+- `.group-required { display: none }` in `public/css/styles.css`, the base rule the shared gating model reveals against.
+- `#spa-shell` dropped its inline `margin-top`; `styles.css` already sets it and the shared shell adjusts it when a banner is shown.
+
+### Verified
+- Browser-verified against a full theta-env stack (sso-manager + proxy + jump-host): every top-level page renders with a clean console; nav gating is correct for admin and non-admin; `forceLogin`'s onboarding and group gates fire; `val.js` blocks a weak password and accepts a strong one through a real form submit; the DELETE-method forms work; and the OIDC login round trip (authorize with PKCE -> login -> consent -> callback -> token fragment) completes on both OIDC clients.
+
+## [1.2.0] - 2026-07-25
+
+### Added
+- Adopted the shared `@simpleworkjs/*` packages published under the simpleworkjs org, replacing this app's byte-identical forks of the same code so the theta42 apps share one codebase and API schema:
+  - `@simpleworkjs/oidc-client` — the OIDC client (session models, auth router, OIDC utils, safe-redirect, local-admin bootstrap). Deleted the local `utils/oidc.js`, `utils/safe_redirect.js`, `models/oidc_state.js`, `models/token.js`, `models/auth.js`, `routes/auth.js`; `models/index.js` wires the factory and the local-admin bootstrap.
+  - `@simpleworkjs/directory-schema` — the sso↔jump-host directory contract. `utils/access.js` now fetches reachable hosts through the shared `createDirectoryClient` (`getResourcesByGroup`).
+  - `@simpleworkjs/ldap` — `models/user_ldap.js` is now a thin wrapper over `createLdapClient`, preserving this app's loose TLS default (`rejectUnauthorized: false`) and the exact export shape.
+  - `@simpleworkjs/app-stack` — unified `build_info` (`{buildVersion, buildHash, buildYear}`) and the `static-modules` mounting helper. `build_info` moved from `models/` to `utils/`; `routes/render.js` uses `mountStaticModules`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Directory envelope drift was silently treated as "no reachable hosts".** `utils/access.js` previously read `data.results || []`, so if the SSO directory ever returned a bare array (envelope drift) every per-group query collapsed to `[]` and no user could bridge. The shared client now validates the `{ results }` envelope on every call and treats an envelope violation as a failed group fetch rather than silently returning `[]`.
+
+### Changed
+- Dependency alignment: `ldapts` `^8.1.2` → `^8.1.8`, `redis` `^4.7` → `^6.1.0` (the direct `redis` dep is unused — only `model-redis` is used, which already brings `redis` ^6.1.0). The new `@simpleworkjs/*` deps resolve from the npm registry (`^1.0.0`); no `file:`/`link:` entries in the lockfile, so `npm ci` is clean in docker builds.
+- `build_info` export shape changed from `{commit, version}` to `{buildVersion, buildHash, buildYear}` (the shared shape used by all three apps). The `/health` endpoint and footer now report `buildVersion`/`buildHash`.

wmantly	4879769cc7	Add standalone mode with @simpleworkjs/orm-backed user/host stores - Add standalone.enabled config flag to switch between LDAP+SSO and ORM-backed backends without changing the production code path - New ORM models: StandaloneUser (uid, passwordHash, sshPublicKeys, groups) and StandaloneHost (slug, displayName, kind, metadata) - user_file.js and hosts_file.js implement the same interfaces as the LDAP client and accessibleHosts() respectively - models/user_ldap.js and utils/access.js become conditional facades that delegate based on conf.standalone.enabled at require time - Zero changes to ssh_server.js core logic, bridge.js, key_inject.js, tui_picker.js, or any other consumer - Fix ssh_server.js: use ?? instead of \|\| for listenPort (0 is falsy) - Fix ssh_server.js: register session listeners before awaiting audit.create() so client exec/shell requests aren't rejected - Patch StringField.toSequelize() and IntegerField.toSequelize() to pass through primaryKey (the ORM's UUIDField already does this) - 47 tests pass (24 existing + 15 new unit + 3 existing integration + 5 new standalone integration) - Defaults to SQLite; any Sequelize dialect works via conf.orm Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-07-26 21:34:53 -04:00

wmantly	240563e093	logInRedirect: keep the query string on the legacy /login/<path> form The OIDC provider sends an unauthenticated authorize request through /login/oauth/authorize?client_id=…&state=…; dropping the query there loses the whole authorization request.

wmantly	047e54ce50	app.api.delete: accept the (url, data, callback) form formAJAX uses; defer the login-card reveal to DOM ready formAJAX always passes the serialized form as the second argument, so a DELETE-method form (the host/DNS delete buttons) landed its callback in the data slot and never ran. The login page's "reveal the card once we know you're logged out" branch touched an element further down the same page, which threw when isLoggedIn answered before the parser got there (it always did without a stored token). It now runs on DOM ready. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-07-25 23:15:07 -04:00
wmantly	ee76088f86	Unify the front-end UI shell across the theta42 apps views/top.ejs, views/bottom.ejs and public/lib/js/app-base.js are now byte-identical across sso-manager-node, proxy and jump-host. Everything per-app moved into utils/ui.js, exposed to every render as `ui` via app.locals (nav items + their group gates, footer repo/docs/ToS links, favicon, profile/logout targets, update-banner on/off + label). Client framework changes: - One gating model everywhere: app-base.js reveals .group-required-<cn> for each of the current user user/me groups. sso-manager-node sends LDAP DNs in memberOf, the OIDC clients send CNs in groups; both normalise to CNs, and the clients isAdmin flag becomes a synthetic `admin` group, so proxy nav-admin items are now group-required-admin. - user/me is fetched once per page load and cached (app.auth.loadUser); nav, forceLogin and group-required elements all read that one promise. - isLoggedIn is dual-mode (Promise + node-style callback), so the async and callback call styles both work from one shared top.ejs. - forceLogin no longer uses $.holdReady (removed in jQuery 4): it redirects to /login?redirect=<path>, and still enforces required groups. - logOut only clears the session; the caller decides where to go next. - post/put/delete are dual-mode Promise/callback, which also removes the undefined `callback2` reference that threw on a non-function callback. Dependencies: jquery ^4.0.0 and ejs ^3.1.10 in all three apps. jump-host specifics: - .group-required base rule added to styles.css (no gated nav items yet). - #spa-shell drops its inline margin-top; styles.css already sets it, and the shared shell adjusts it when a banner is shown.
