+# v2.7.0 - 2026-08-11
+
+### Added
+- **OpenLDAP N-way multi-master replication auto-config.** `SiteSpoke.ldapServerId` is now auto-assigned at registration (next free from 2 upward, 1 reserved for the master -- same pattern as jump-host's mesh index), and each site's LDAP URL is derived from its already-known HTTP(S) endpoint rather than a separately-configured field. New `utils/ldap_replication.js`, `GET /api/site/ldap-peers` (spoke-facing, Bearer site join key) and `GET /directory-admin/ldap-replication-config` (master-local). Operators no longer hand-maintain `LDAP_SERVER_ID`/`LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS` for a `theta-suite`-joined cluster (see `theta-suite`'s `bootstrap/site-ldap-register.js`). Verified against real running containers (`docker-compose.multisite-e2e.yml`).
+
+# v2.6.0 - 2026-08-11
+
+### Fixed
+- **Duplicate access/admin groups on repeated resource promotion.** Three independent copies of the same bug (`routes/discovery.js`'s `POST /discovery/promote/:slug` -- the actual "Promote" button in the UI -- and `services/discovery_reconciler.js`'s `autoPromote` path both called `ResourceGroup.create()` directly with no existence check, unlike `routes/api_directory_admin.js`'s own `ensureResourceGroup`, which already carried a comment describing this exact bug). A resource promoted more than once (a retried click, or the same LXC discovered from multiple Proxmox cluster nodes) silently accumulated duplicate rows every time. Consolidated into `ResourceGroup.ensure()` on the model, used everywhere.
+- **`GET /api/directory-admin/resources` ran a full LDAP group self-heal fan-out on every single list** (`ensureSiteGroups` per site + `provisionResourceGroups` per resource, each several sequential LDAP round-trips), unconditionally -- confirmed as the actual bottleneck once a directory has more than a handful of resources, not data volume. Moved healing to where resources actually change instead (`POST`/`PUT /resources`, `POST /discovery/promote/:slug` -- `PUT` had none at all before this), and added `POST /resources/heal-groups` as an explicit on-demand equivalent for backfilling a directory seeded before this change.
+- **An nmap discovery scan that completed successfully could be reported as a failed run with zero hosts found.** `node-nmap` (the vendored library) treats any stderr output from the nmap binary as fatal -- including nmap's own harmless RTT-calibration warning ("RTTVAR has grown to over N seconds..."), which it prints *during* a scan that goes on to complete normally, discarding valid results already sitting in the library's `rawData`. Our plugin now recognizes this specific benign message and manually completes the scan from the data that's already there; any other error still rejects as before.
+- **The Multi-Site modal's "Theta Gateways" count was measuring the wrong subsystem.** It counted this app's own unrelated WireGuard roaming-client/exit-node Resources, not jump-host's actual gateway-to-gateway mesh registry. New `utils/jump_client.js` (same self-service-token pattern as `utils/proxy_client.js`) queries jump-host's real `GET /api/mesh/gateways`, reporting a distinct "unknown" state instead of a misleading 0 when the integration isn't configured. Also added help links to the published multi-site/mesh docs on the modal.
+
+# v2.5.0 - 2026-08-10
+
+### Added
+- **No-inbound relay automation.** A spoke with no public IP of its own can now register as such (`noInbound`/`meshIp`/`publicHost` on `POST /api/site/spokes`, forwarded through `POST /api/site/join` for the real operator join flow), and the master auto-creates/updates the relay route on its own `theta-proxy` via `utils/proxy_client.js` — a new self-service `prx_...` API token client, reusing `theta-proxy`'s existing token system rather than inventing a new credential type. Verified against a real running `theta-proxy` container (`GET /api/host/:item`'s actual `{item, results: {...}}` response shape, not the flat shape first assumed).
+- **Replication traffic prefers the mesh.** `utils/site_replicate.js`'s fire-and-forget resync push now tries a registered spoke's `meshIp` first (falling back to its public `endpoint` on failure) — cross-component routing over the gateway-to-gateway WireGuard mesh instead of the open internet, for any spoke that's registered one.
+- `POST /api/site/join` surfaces the resulting relay status in its response (`relay.note`), and `theta-suite`'s bootstrap flow (`CFG_SPOKE_NO_INBOUND`/`CFG_SPOKE_PUBLIC_HOST`, `bootstrap/site-relay-register.js`) drives all of this from the real operator-facing setup script, not just the API.
+
+# v2.4.0 - 2026-08-10
+
+### Added
+- **Live catalog replication.** A spoke now stays in sync after joining instead of only getting a one-time snapshot: it registers its own endpoint with the master at join time (`POST /api/site/spokes`, Bearer the site join key), and every successful master catalog write fires a fire-and-forget push (`utils/site_replicate.js`) at every registered spoke, concurrently — one unreachable spoke never blocks or delays delivery to another. The spoke's `POST /api/site/resync` handler re-runs the same tested export-pull-and-import path used at join time rather than applying a partial diff.
+- **Identical-directory agent-signing key.** `POST /api/site/export` now best-effort includes the master's agent-signing key; a spoke adopts it via `agent_keys.adopt()` on both join and every resync, so any site's `sso-manager-node` can validly sign a command for any agent enrolled at any other site (a deliberate blast-radius tradeoff for this deployment's small, trusted scale — see `theta-suite`'s `docs/MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md` §2).
+- **Coordinated master promotion.** `POST /api/directory-admin/site-promote` now demotes the previous master as part of the same action (mints it a fresh join key, calls its new `POST /api/site/demote`) instead of leaving a manual two-step gap where two nodes could both believe they're master. Best-effort: an unreachable old master (the WAN-outage scenario this control exists for) never blocks the local promotion — the response's `handoff` field reports what happened.
+- **Master Site modal UI**: new "Live Replication" (spoke) / "Registered Spokes" (master) status rows; the join form gained a "this site's own reachable URL" field (prefilled from the browser origin) wired to the `selfUrl` the join API already supported but the UI never sent — a UI-driven join previously never registered for live replication, only the `setup.sh` bootstrap path did; the promote button's success toast now reports the actual handoff result.
+- New `nodejs/models/site_spoke.js` (registered spokes + their push tokens) and `docker-compose.multisite-e2e.yml` + `test/multisite_join_e2e.js` (real two-container master+spoke regression test covering join, live replication, promotion, and demotion end to end).
+
+### Fixed
+- **`site-promote`'s god_admin check was dead on arrival.** It read `req.user.groups`, a field nothing in the codebase ever populates (every other admin gate resolves membership live via `permission.byGroup()`/`Group.list(user.dn)`, which also handles nested-group membership) — the check silently evaluated to an empty array on every request, so promotion returned 403 for every user, including a real god_admin, since it shipped in v2.0.0. Only surfaced by the live e2e test, not by inspection.
+- **The read-only write-gate blocked `site-promote` on a spoke before its handler could run** — the one mutating request a spoke must be able to make to itself. Exempted `/site-promote` from the gate.
+- **`GET /api/site/config` was returning `masterJoinKey` and `replicationPushToken`** — live credentials — directly in the JSON response to any admin session. Replaced with boolean derivatives (`hasMasterJoinKey`, `liveReplication`).
+
+# v2.3.0 - 2026-08-10
+
+### Added
+- **Multi-site join — UI + enforcement** (completes the join layer started in v2.2.0):
+  - **Master Site modal**: a fresh install (no users beyond the bootstrap admin, no agents) gets a **"Join an Existing Site"** form (master URL + site join key); a master gets a **Site Join Keys** manager (mint/revoke/list, key shown once, copy button); **WAN Sync Health** now reflects a live probe of the master.
+  - `POST /api/site/ping` (Bearer site-join-key): lightweight master reachability probe for WAN health.
+  - **Spoke read-only**: directory-write routes (resources, edges, groups, secrets, grants, driver actions, discovery merges) return `403` pointing at the master once a node is a spoke.
+  - **Fresh-install guard**: `/api/site/join` refuses unless the directory has no users beyond the admin and no enrolled agents (`siteIsFresh`); `site-status` exposes `canJoin` so the UI only offers join when it's actually allowed.
+  - The spoke persists the join key (`masterJoinKey`) in `/config/site.json` for WAN health + future write-proxy.
+- **Unit tests**: `siteIsFresh` cases (admin-only, second user, enrolled agent, service accounts ignored).
+
+### Fixed
+- **Branch-protection check name**: the lint job that `master` requires is literally named "Syntax check bootstrap.js"; the multi-site bootstrap script is checked by that same job.
+
+# v2.2.0 - 2026-08-10
+
+### Added
+- **Multi-site join — server endpoints.** A spoke can join an existing master directory:
+  - **Site join keys** (`stj_…`): mint/revoke/delete under `/api/site/join-keys` (hashed at rest, shown once — same model as agent join keys).
+  - `POST /api/site/export` (master, Bearer site-join-key, no admin session): returns the LDAP tree (`slapcat` LDIF) + resource catalog + siteSlug + baseDn.
+  - `POST /api/site/join` (spoke, admin): `{ masterUrl, joinKey }` pulls the master export, imports resources (upsert by slug) + LDAP (`ldapadd -c`), and persists the spoke role. Refused if already a spoke.
+  - **Persisted site role**: `isMaster`/`masterUrl`/`siteSlug` now live in `/config/site.json` (env seeds defaults) instead of Node memory, so a restart no longer silently reverts a spoke to master. `site-status`/`site-promote` read/write it.
+  - Docs: `docs/site-join.md` (flow, endpoints, planned `setup.env` vars) registered in the docs router.
+  - The UI + `setup.sh` wiring for join is the next layer; this pass is server-only.
+- **Unit tests** for the join helpers (`tests/site_join.test.js`) and persisted config (`tests/site_config.test.js`) — pure logic, in-memory stubs, added to `npm test`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Multi-site modal text was mojibake.** The Master/Spoke emojis (👑/⚡) in `views/directory.ejs` were UTF-8 that had been round-tripped through cp1252; restored. All other views verified byte-accurate clean.
+
+# v2.1.1 - 2026-08-10
+
+### Fixed
+- **"Master Site" button errored with `app.modal.show is not a function`.** The multi-site status modal used the legacy `app.modal.show()` signature; the app exposes `app.modal.open({ title, bodyHtml, size })`. The site-status request itself worked — only the rendering call was wrong.
+- **Agents with no discovery yet showed a fake `v2.0.0`.** Three hardcoded fallbacks now report `unknown` instead, so a host whose agent hasn't connected isn't presented as an old version.
+
+# v2.1.0 - 2026-08-10
+
+### Added
+- **Windows install commands in the Install Agent modal.** The Directory → Install Agent modal now emits PowerShell one-liners alongside the bash ones for the join-key, pre-register, and custom-config flows. Each downloads the fully-offline theta-agent `setup.exe` from its GitHub release and passes the same values the bash flow uses (`/SERVER_URL`, `/JOIN_KEY`, `/AUTH_TOKEN`, `/PUBLIC_KEY`, or `/B64_CONFIG`), so a Windows host enrolls with the same one-command flow as Linux. Complements the theta-agent v2.1.0 Windows release.
+
+### Removed
+- **Large binaries from `nodejs/public/resources/theta-agent/`.** The agent/tray/helper/setup binaries are now built on GitHub Actions and attached to the theta-agent GitHub release as artifacts; `install.sh` and the modal download them from `releases/latest/download/`. Nothing binary lives in this repo anymore (the small `install.sh` bootstrap script remains).
+
+# v2.0.4 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Changed
+- **`Dockerfile.openldap` no longer compiles OpenLDAP from source.** Its `ldapbuild` stage now pulls `ghcr.io/theta42/openldap-nestgroup:<pinned commit>` (built once by `.github/workflows/build-openldap-image.yml` from the new `Dockerfile.openldap-builder`) instead of cloning `git.openldap.org` and running `./configure && make` on every build. Cuts ~5 minutes off every build of this Dockerfile, including 3x per CI run's test matrix, and removes the runtime dependency on that mirror being up (it 502'd twice tonight, blocking two PRs). Verified locally end-to-end before merging: built the app image against the published base, ran it, confirmed slapd boots healthy with the nestgroup overlay loaded and the correct pinned commit.
+
+# v2.0.3 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **Directory tab showed unpromoted discoveries.** `GET /api/directory-admin/resources` unconditionally admitted every `kind: 'host'` resource, and every discovery plugin (UniFi, Proxmox, nmap) creates its finds as `kind: 'host'` — so unchecking "Auto-promote to Directory" on a plugin never actually kept undiscovered/unpromoted devices out of the Directory tab, only out of the LDAP-group auto-provisioning. Now only `site` resources are unconditionally shown; anything else that discovery ever touched requires `metadata.managed === true` (set by promotion, an agent, or merging into an already-managed resource).
+- **`GET /api/directory-admin/site-status` 500'd.** Queried `Resource.list({ where: { subType: 'wireguard' } })`, but `subType` only ever lives in `metadata.subType` (every driver/discovery plugin reads it that way) — never a top-level DB column, so SQLite raised `no such column: Resource.subType`. Filters in JS over `metadata.subType` now.
+- **Discovered Inventory had no way to review ignored devices.** Added a "Show ignored" toggle (off by default) to the tab, so `metadata.ignored === true` rows stay hidden from routine triage but remain reachable.
+
+### Chore
+- **Untracked `nodejs/config/inventory.sqlite`.** It's the app's default runtime DB (`nodejs/models/index.js` falls back to this path when no external DB is configured), not a fixture — it had been committed by mistake across 13 prior releases, churning on every local run. Removed from tracking and gitignored.
+
+# v2.0.2 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **README rebranding & standalone-install cleanup.** Removed the "Why this over the alternatives" section and stale links to the old per-repo GitHub Pages site (`theta42.github.io/sso-manager-node/`); documentation and secrets links now point at the unified `theta42.github.io/theta-suite/` site. Made explicit that Theta Directory is deployed as part of Theta Suite and isn't installed or run on its own. Added the agent capability/install screenshots to the gallery.
+
+# v2.0.1 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **OpenBao / OpenBoa Container Exclusion**: Skip discovery of internal secret management/renewer containers so they don't populate resources catalog.
+- **Agent Version API Collection**: Added `version` tracking to Agent model and discovery handlers to record and report agent version dynamically.
+- **Console Log Cleanup**: Removed leftover `console.log` debug statements in frontend assets.
+- **Resource Save & User Cache Invalidation**: Fixed metadata merge on resource updates to prevent losing system fields, and added User cache clear to propagate user/group edits instantly.
+- **Site Status 500 Fix**: Replaced invalid ORM `Resource.findAll()` call with `Resource.list()`.
+- **Secret Filtering**: Fixed the "With Secrets" filter checkbox by ensuring `hasSecret` / `secretKeys` states are written to resource metadata and checked by EJS views.
+- **Auto-Group Spawning Prevention**: Set default `autoPromote` to false in UniFi, Docker, Proxmox, and Nmap plugins and restricted auto group creation to managed resources to prevent duplicate LDAP group generation.
+
+# v2.0.0 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Added
+- **Multi-Site Master Architecture.** Multi-Site Master badge, `/api/directory-admin/site-status` API, and Master site promotion UI.
+- **Full Telemetry Dashboard Cards.** Rendered active `logged_users`, physical partitions, host details, and desktop session/power controls (Lock, Display Off, Log Out, Sleep Host).
+- **Theta Directory Rebranding.** Rebranded SSO Manager UI and documentation to Theta Directory.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Agent Action Parameter Resolution.** Standardized top-level and nested parameter parsing for agent driver actions (`api_directory_admin.js`).
+
+# v1.33.0 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Added
+- **Directory Key Badges & Secret Filtering.** Added a gold `🔑 Secret` badge next to resources with stored OpenBao secrets and a `With Secrets` filter checkbox to filter the directory tree by secret presence.
+- **Kind-Specific Resource Creation Modals.** Added dedicated `openAddSiteModal()`, `openAddHostModal()`, and `openAddServiceModal()` modal handlers for Site, Host, and Service resources.
+- **Top Toolbar Reorganization.** Updated top tree button to **"+ Add Site"** and removed legacy `Plumbing` slider.
+- **Optional Child Secret Key Name on Inheritance.** Made key name optional when inheriting parent secrets — automatically defaulting to the original parent secret key name if left blank.
+- **Discovered Inventory Merge & Ignore Actions.** Added `Merge` (merge IP/interfaces/OS metadata into target resource) and `Ignore` (dismiss discovered item) endpoints (`/api/directory-admin/discovered/merge` & `/api/directory-admin/discovered/ignore`) and table action buttons.
+- **Agent Tab Telemetry & Desktop Controls.** Rendered Agent Binary Version badge (`v1.8.0`), all physical disks and filesystems table, Active Logged-in Users card, and Desktop Session & Power Operations card (Lock, Display Off, Log Out, Sleep Host).
+
+# v1.32.0 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Added
+- **Subtype Management & Metrics Drivers Engine.** Built a 4-tier driver resolution engine (`services/driver_registry.js`) binding resource `subType` metadata (`systemd`, `docker`, `proxmox`, `wireguard`, `postgresql`, `redis`, `unifi`, `k8s`) to operational telemetry, log streaming, and remote lifecycle control.
+- **Subtype Operations APIs.** Exposed `/api/directory-admin/resources/:id/driver-metrics`, `driver-action`, and `driver-logs` endpoints.
+- **Explicit Secret Inheritance Mode.** Enforced strict upward ancestor lineage (`Resource -> Host -> Cluster -> Site`) for secret inheritance, resolving explicit pointers (`INHERIT:<parentSlug>:<parentKey>`) without exposing sibling directory secrets.
+- **Consolidated External App Tokens.** Relocated external OpenBao App Token minting into the **Configuration** page (`/conf` -> External App Tokens tab) and deprecated standalone `/vault` navigation item.
+- **Multi-Secret Key Support.** Supported multiple secret keys per resource in OpenBao `secret/data/resources/<slug>/conf` with per-key merging and deletion.
+- **Cross-Platform Agent Packaging.** Built multi-architecture Dockerfile staging and documentation for Linux ARM (arm64, armv7), Windows (amd64, arm64), and macOS (Intel, Apple Silicon).
+
+### Fixed
+- **Ancestry Lineage Querying.** Fixed `Resource.findAllAncestors(id)` memory filtering over `ResourceEdge.list()` to resolve deep ancestor lineage across all graph depths.
+- **Dockerfile Module Inclusion.** Included `COPY nodejs/drivers ./drivers` in `Dockerfile.openldap` and `Dockerfile.test-runner` for clean container execution.
+
+# v1.31.0 - 2026-08-07
+
+### Added
+- **Resource Secrets Engine & Zero-View Security.** OpenBao KV-v2 encrypted secrets for directory resources (`secret/data/resources/<slug>/conf`). Zero-View UI & API model — secret values are never returned to admin browsers or UI templates, and delivered exclusively to authenticated `theta-agent` instances.
+- **Strict Secret Key Regex Validation.** Secret keys are validated against `^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$` (Standard Environment Variable format, e.g. `DB_PASSWORD`).
+- **Field-Populating Password Generator.** Cryptographic secret generator (`window.crypto.getRandomValues`) with length selector dropdown (8–128 chars) populating input fields with security notices.
+- **Multi-Level Secret Inheritance.** Dynamic secret resolution across any depth of the resource tree (`Services / Apps -> Hosts / Nodes -> Global Sites`).
+- **Non-Blocking UI Confirmations.** Replaced browser blocking dialogs with async `app.messages.confirm()` banners.
+- **UI Directory Layout Improvements.** Fixed Directory table resource name and badge order for enhanced readability.
+
+### Fixed
+- **SSSD `sshPublicKey` Mapping.** Included `ldap_user_ssh_public_key = sshPublicKey` in generated agent `sssd.conf` template.
+
+# Unreleased — LDAP-over-HTTPS API + agent LDAP byte-pump relay
+
+### Added
+
+- **`POST /api/v1/ldap/bind` and `POST /api/v1/ldap/search`** — an LDAP-over-HTTPS
+  API (DESIGN.md §3). A client stops speaking LDAP and instead does an HTTPS call
+  to the SSO, which performs the real bind/search against its own OpenLDAP. This
+  kills the hostname / cross-network / LDAPS-cert-chain pain. Caller auth is a
+  Bearer token: an agent token or a self-service API token (PAT). `/search` is
+  restricted to agent callers (the SSSD user/group-resolution use case) and runs
+  under the admin bind — see DESIGN.md §9.5 for the scoped-service-account
+  follow-up.
+- **LDAP byte-pump relay** (`utils/ldap_tunnel.js`) — the SSO relays raw LDAP
+  bytes from an agent's local socket into its real OpenLDAP and pipes the
+  response back, over the existing agent WSS channel (`ldap_tunnel` messages).
+  The SSO does not parse LDAP; it is a transparent socket relay. See DESIGN.md §4.
+- **`POST /api/v1/agent/secrets`** — an agent fetches its own node-scoped OpenBao
+  secrets (DESIGN.md §5). The agent may only read under `secret/data/nodes/<id>/*`;
+  the SSO fetches with its own OpenBao access, so the agent never holds a Vault
+  token. Agent-token authed (not admin-gated).
+- **`iam_apply` command** — the SSO pushes node-scoped IAM config (sudo rules,
+  SSH keys, access control, revocation) to an agent as a signed high-risk
+  command (DESIGN.md §6). Added to `HIGH_RISK_COMMANDS`.
+- **Agent capabilities in the Directory UI** — the agent reports its enabled
+  capabilities in its `discovery` frame; the SSO stores them and the host's
+  Metrics tab renders them as green/gray badges, so an operator can see at a
+  glance what each agent is allowed to do.
+- **`GET /api/agent/join-keys/:id/agents`** — which hosts enrolled through a
+  given join key. Matches on the trace `Agent.enroll` already leaves in
+  `description` ("Self-enrolled with join key `<prefix>`") rather than a stored
+  relation.
+- **Join key management in the Install Agent modal** — a table (label, prefix,
+  created date, hosts joined, status) alongside the existing mint/select
+  dropdown, with **Revoke** and **Delete** actions and a click-through to see
+  which hosts joined via a given key. Previously these were API-only. Revoke
+  and Delete confirm inline within the row ("Revoke? Yes/No") rather than a
+  blocking native `confirm()` (freezes the whole tab) or the shared
+  `app.messages.confirm()` banner (a single `.actionMessage` shared by the
+  whole card, so a second click before the first resolves leaves a dangling
+  `$('body').one('click', ...)` handler from the first call and desyncs which
+  row the banner is actually confirming for).
+
+# v1.30.2
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Outbound mail (test email, invites, password resets, OTP-by-email, notifications) could be rejected by the SMTP relay with `554 5.7.1 ... Sender is not same as SMTP authenticate username`.** Many authenticated relays require the `From` address to match the authenticated account or they refuse the send outright. `models/email.js` fell back to a hardcoded `noreply@theta42.com` when `smtp.from` wasn't set, which no relay ever authorized this account to send as. It now falls back to `smtp.user` first — the address the account can actually prove it owns — before the hardcoded placeholder.
+- **Catalog page card titles read icon-then-name.** Swapped to name-then-icon so the resource name leads.
+
+### Docs
+
+- `docs/configuration.md` didn't mention that OpenBao + the live Configuration UI sit above the four file/env config layers and win the merge — added.
+- `docs/plugins.md` listed 3 of 4 discovery plugin types (missing `docker`) and didn't mention the `messaging` plugin category (`twilio`, `webhook`) at all — added both.
+- `docs/vault.md` had no navigation (no frontmatter, no back-link, unreachable from the docs index) and described OpenBao as running in dev mode with API access via the root token — both wrong for a real deployment. Fixed navigation and corrected to describe the actual production setup (unsealed OpenBao, server-side scoped-token injection, personal API tokens for programmatic access).
+- `docs/discovery.md` was unreachable from the docs index and missing its back-link — both fixed.
+- `README.md`'s required-groups list was missing `app_sso_directory_admin` (gates Directory/Plugins/Agent admin).
+
+# v1.30.1
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Test Email always failed with `Email.send is not a function`.** `models/email.js` exports `{Mail}`; the handler required the module and called `.send` on it directly. Every other caller destructures it. The button could never have worked.
+- **Test SMS failed with `Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "...`.** It POSTed to `https://api.voip.ms/v1.0/sms/send` with Basic auth — an endpoint that does not exist. VoIP.ms's REST API is a GET against `https://voip.ms/api/v1/rest.php` with `api_username`/`api_password` and `method=sendSMS`, so the fabricated URL returned an HTML page and `response.json()` threw. It could never have sent anything.
+- **All SMS delivery was broken, not just the test button.** `models/sms.js` called `PluginInstance.find({…})`, but @simpleworkjs/orm has no `find` — the query method is `list({where})`. It threw "is not a function" on every send, before it could even fall back to the direct VoIP.ms path, so OTP-by-SMS and notifications were dead too.
+- Both test endpoints now send through the **same senders every real message uses** (`Mail.send`, `SMS.send`). A test that reimplements delivery proves nothing about whether real delivery works — which is exactly how two broken paths went unnoticed.
+- The SMS credential check no longer demands `conf.voipms` when a messaging plugin is loaded; the plugin supplies its own credentials, and requiring both blocked a working setup from testing itself.
+- Both endpoints report a failure as a `400` with the underlying reason (`VoIP.ms error: invalid_credentials`, `connect ECONNREFUSED …:587`) instead of an opaque `500`. A misconfiguration is the operator's to fix and the UI should be able to show it.
+- test: a guard suite that fails the build on any call to a non-existent ORM static (`find`/`findOne`/`findAll`/`where`), on requiring `models/email` without destructuring `{Mail}`, and on any reference to the bogus `api.voip.ms` host.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Install Agent offers the join-key flow.** The modal now leads with "Join key" — mint one, copy a single install command, and the host enrolls itself. Pre-registering a specific host moved to a second tab. v1.30.0 shipped join keys in the API and documented the modal as the place to get one, but the modal itself still only did the pre-register flow.
+
+# v1.30.0
+
+Adds **join keys**: installing the agent with one key is now all it takes to add a host. Fixes a set of Directory/discovery defects found on a fresh `setup.sh` install.
+
+### theta-agent — enrollment without pre-registering
+
+- feat: **join keys.** `POST /api/agent/join-keys` mints one credential an operator hands out. A host presenting it is enrolled automatically and immediately issued **its own** per-agent token plus the public key it must pin, delivered in the `config` frame; the agent persists both and blanks the join key. v1.29.0 required an admin to pre-register every machine before its agent would be spoken to, which made adding a host a two-system chore — the security model was right, the workflow was not.
+- feat: a join key is a bootstrap credential, never the host's identity, so one key stays convenient without becoming a fleet-wide skeleton key: every host remains individually revocable and a compromised host yields nothing that works elsewhere. Revoking a join key stops new hosts joining and leaves already-enrolled agents alone.
+- feat: join keys support a label and optional expiry, record their use count, and are stored as a SHA-256 (`AgentJoinKey`). Issue/revoke/delete and every self-enrollment are audited.
+
+### Directory
+
+- fix: **collapsing the tree did nothing.** `applyTreeCollapse` located the caret with `$row.find('.tree-caret i')` and returned early when it found nothing. Font Awesome runs in SVG-with-JS mode and its mutation observer rewrites every `<i class="fa-…">` into an `<svg>`, so moments after a render that selector matched nothing — and the early return skipped setting `hideBelowDepth`, so no row was ever hidden. Collapse state now lives on the caret *button* and is rotated by CSS, and the hide decision is made from the collapsed set alone. Never key behaviour to an element another library is free to replace.
+- fix: **the Discovery Plugins delete button did nothing.** It called `deleteDiscoveryPlugin()`, which was never defined — clicking it only threw a `ReferenceError`.
+- fix: the plugins pane had no `.actionMessage` element, and `app.messages` confirmations render into one. Without it the returned promise **never settles**, so an awaited confirmation hangs forever and the action it gates silently never happens. Added, along with a note that any pane asking for confirmation needs it.
+- feat: **discovery plugin instances can be edited.** Name, schedule, loaded state and configuration, with secrets on their own endpoint and left blank ("unchanged") rather than prefilled with the mask — submitting `********` back would otherwise store the asterisks as the secret.
+
+### Discovery
+
+- fix: **a fresh install no longer presents its own containers as things to triage.** The Docker plugin recognises containers belonging to the stack's own compose project, records them as managed, and attaches each to the service it implements. `setup.sh` deploys `sso-manager`, `proxy`, `jump-host`, `openbao` and `bao-renewer`; all five arrived as unmanaged discoveries awaiting promotion.
+- fix: **Docker container slugs were derived from the container id**, which changes on every recreate — so each `docker compose up` minted a brand-new resource and orphaned the previous one. Slugs now come from compose project + service, falling back to the container name.
+- feat: discovered containers carry `composeProject`, `composeService`, `containerName` and `sourceId`.
+
+### Docs
+
+- fix: `/docs/discovery` 404'd — the slug had no entry, though the Discovery tab's help icon linked to it. New `docs/discovery.md` covering the catalog/discovered distinction, how sources are matched and merged, naming precedence, promotion and garbage collection.
+- fix: the `agents` slug pointed at `plugins.md`, so `docs/agents.md` was unreachable in the app.
+
+# v1.29.0
+
+**Breaking:** theta-agent enrollment is now mandatory. Agents installed before this release carry a browser-generated token the server never recorded and will be rejected until re-enrolled. Requires theta-suite ≥ v1.42.0 (the `sso-broker` OpenBao policy must grant `secret/agent/*`); re-run `./setup.sh`.
+
+### Security — theta-agent channel
+
+- **sec: `/api/agent/ws` accepted any token.** There was no agent registry, so the endpoint authenticated nothing: any client that could reach the SSO could register as a node, publish discovery/telemetry into the admin view, and receive commands — including a signed `arbitrary_bash` — addressed to a token it guessed. Tokens were generated in the *browser* (`generateRandomHexToken`) and never recorded server-side, so there was nothing to validate against and no way to revoke one. Agents are now rows in a new `Agent` table, authenticated by SHA-256 token hash before the connection is registered or the welcome payload is sent; unknown or revoked tokens are closed with `4001` and audited.
+- **sec: the command signing key was ephemeral.** `AgentManager` generated an Ed25519 pair in its constructor, so it changed on every process start and the `public_key` an agent pinned in `agent.yml` stopped matching immediately. The key now lives in OpenBao at `secret/agent/signing-key` and survives restarts. If it cannot be loaded the SSO **refuses** to send high-risk commands rather than signing with a key no agent has seen (`signingAvailable: false` on `GET /api/agent/nodes`).
+- **sec: commands are addressed by agent id, not token.** A credential has no business in a URL, an access log or browser history.
+- **sec: agent actions are audited.** Enroll, update, rotate, revoke, delete, every command (with `signed`), and every rejected connection are emitted as structured `"component":"agent"` log records carrying the acting user.
+
+### theta-agent — enrollment & resource binding
+
+- feat: `POST /api/agent/enroll` mints the token server-side and returns it **once**; only its SHA-256 is stored. Plus `PUT /nodes/:id` (rename/rebind), `POST /nodes/:id/rotate`, `POST /nodes/:id/revoke`, `DELETE /nodes/:id`. Rotate, revoke and delete drop the live socket immediately (`4004`/`4003`) instead of waiting for a reconnect.
+- feat: an agent binds to a **host resource** (`resourceId`). The Directory reads that link instead of guessing by hostname — the old `agentsByHost[name]` match silently failed whenever a Directory name differed from the machine's hostname, and aliased two hosts that shared one.
+- feat: **agent discovery reaches the Directory.** A bound agent's facts (`os`, `kernel`, `cpu`, `ram_total_gb`, `disk_total_gb`, `ip`) are written onto its host resource, tagged `discovery_sources: ["theta-agent"]` with an `agentId` back-reference. An unbound agent goes through the normal reconciler. Previously `handleDiscovery` wrote to an in-memory record and updated nothing — the one source actually running *on* the host contributed nothing to the directory.
+- feat: agent state is persisted, so an agent that is installed but **offline** is now distinguishable from one that never existed; enrollments survive a restart. The Directory status dot reflects this: red means "enrolled and not connected" (a fault), grey means no agent enrolled / revoked / service unreachable. Red previously covered both, making an ordinary directory of hosts look like an outage.
+- feat: the Install Agent modal enrolls first and builds the install command from the result, including `--public-key`. `public_key` was never emitted into the generated `agent.yml` before, so no installed agent could verify anything.
+- fix: `registerAgent` is synchronous. Awaiting a database write before attaching the WebSocket `message` listener lost every agent's first `discovery` frame, which it sends the instant the socket opens (`ws` drops events emitted with no listener attached).
+
+### Directory
+
+- feat: **the resource tree is collapsible.** Any row with children has a caret; the toolbar collapses/expands everything. State persists per browser, so the shape survives the self-heal reload that follows most edits. An active search overrides collapse so matches inside a folded subtree are never hidden.
+- fix: **the Proxmox plugin mismatched MAC addresses to IPs.** It collected MACs and IPs into two flat lists and zipped them by index, so on any multi-NIC guest — or any guest where one NIC had no address — the directory recorded an address against the wrong MAC. NICs are now keyed by MAC, so a pairing can only come from the source that observed both together.
+- feat: Proxmox discovery emits an **endpoint resource** (named from `/cluster/status`) with every node parented beneath it, so one endpoint is one subtree instead of several orphan roots. It deliberately carries no IP: giving it the address it is reached at made the reconciler merge it with the node answering on that address, producing a resource that was its own parent.
+- feat: discovered guests carry `sourceId` (`<node>/qemu/<vmid>`), `node`, `vmid` and `macAddress`, so a row traces back to the exact guest on the exact hypervisor. Against a live 3-node cluster this took MAC coverage to 53/54 resources and `sourceId` to 54/54.
+- fix: Proxmox interfaces belonging to something running *inside* a guest (`docker0`, `veth*`, `br-*`, VPN tunnels) are filtered out — one Home Assistant VM reported 16 of them alongside its single real NIC, and their 172.x addresses gave the reconciler spurious matches.
+- fix: a stopped VM still reports its MAC (read from the VM config), a DHCP-configured LXC gets its address from the running container's interface list, and Proxmox **nodes** report their own IP/MAC (recovered from `enx<mac>` predictable names, since `/nodes/*/network` carries no `hwaddr`). Offline nodes are recorded with `status` instead of skipped, so a hypervisor that is down no longer looks decommissioned and get garbage-collected after a week.
+- fix: **the reconciler could make a resource its own parent.** Two slugs in one payload can resolve to the same row once merged; the resulting self-edge renders as an infinitely nested tree and defeats every ancestor walk in the app. Self-edges and cycle-closing edges are now refused and logged.
+- fix: **hosts were named after their MAC address.** `bestName` preferred the *longer* name, so UniFi's `ac:16:2d:b3:da:80` (17 chars) beat Proxmox's real hostname `dl380-0` (7). Names are now ranked (hostname > IP > MAC) with length only as a tie-break within a rank.
+- fix: `isIp` never matched anything — `\\.` inside a regex literal matches a backslash, not a dot — so an IP-shaped placeholder name was never replaced by a real hostname a later source discovered.
+- fix: a discovered device can only merge into a resource of the same kind. A VM named `gitea-runner` could match a hand-created *service* of the same name on the name rule and overwrite it.
+- perf: the reconciler reads the inventory once per run instead of once per incoming resource — a ~55-resource Proxmox payload against a similar-sized inventory was doing quadratic full-table reads every run.
+- fix: the Discovered Inventory table showed "Unknown IP" for almost everything, because it read `metadata.ip` while any source that enumerates interfaces stores addresses per-NIC. It now falls back to the first NIC address, and shows `vmid`, slug, `sourceId` and per-interface MAC/name.
+
+### Profile
+
+- fix: the API Tokens card is no longer wider than every other card on the site — the section sat outside the page's `.container`.
+
+### Build & docs
+
+- fix: `Dockerfile.test-runner` never copied `nodejs/plugins`, so every plugin test suite failed in CI as "Cannot find module" and plugin code was effectively untested. Suite count goes 27 → 29.
+- docs: `docs/agents.md` rewritten for enrollment, the close-code table, resource binding, the persistent signing key, and a corrected `public_key` example (the documented `MCowBQYDK2VwAyEA...` was an SPKI PEM body — 44 bytes decoded — where the agent requires the raw 32).
+- docs: `docs/directory.md` covers the collapsible tree and the corrected seed hierarchy; `docs/plugins.md` documents what the Proxmox plugin produces and why the endpoint has no IP.
+
+# v1.28.0
+- fix: `/api/agent/nodes` no longer 404s — the previous "unconditional mount" was still inside the post-listen `onListen` hook, so the REST router landed *behind* app.js's terminal 404 catch-all and every `/api/agent/*` request 404'd. The router is now mounted synchronously in `app.js` before the 404 handler; only the agent WebSocket setup runs on `onListen`.
+- feat: promoting a discovered inventory resource now opens the resource form pre-filled with the discovered data (name, kind, IP, subtype, …) for review; the modal's Save confirms the promote (creates the LDAP groups + marks it managed) instead of silently promoting.
+- fix: Directory table no longer goes stale after add/remove edge — `addEdge`/`removeEdge` called an undefined `loadData()`, which threw and left the host/parent linkage stale until a manual refresh; they now call `loadResources()`. `addGroup`/`removeGroup` also refresh so the Access column stays accurate.
+- feat: Vault page states it's powered by OpenBao (header badge linking to openbao.org).
+
+# v1.27.0
+- fix: Directory group names now match `docs/GROUPS.md` exactly — per-resource groups are `{site}_{kind}_{name}_{level}` (`site_local_host_theta-env_access`, `site_local_app_sso-manager_access`), with the kind always present and the resource name slug stripped of its kind prefix. Services map to the `app` kind. The access-request + resolver tests were updated to the documented convention.
+- fix: a site resource now carries only `god_admin` + the site-wide groups (`{site}_super_admin`, `{site}_everyone`); the kind-scoped aggregates are still created for nesting but are no longer surfaced on the site's modal.
+- fix: groups no longer appear 3× under a resource — the Directory self-heal (which runs on every load) was creating duplicate `ResourceGroup` links; linking is now idempotent (check-then-create).
+- fix: `/api/agent/nodes` no longer 404s — the agent REST router is mounted unconditionally instead of being gated on the WebSocket server being up.
+- fix: `POST /api/shared-secrets/` rejected valid slugs — the slug regex now allows underscores (was hyphens-only).
+- fix: `GET /api/shared-secrets/` crashed with `s.path is not a function` — the list spread dropped the instance's `path()` method; now uses the static `SharedSecret.pathFor`.
+- fix: promoting a discovered inventory resource crashed with `Resource.update is not a function` — `update` is an instance method; the promote handler now loads an instance and calls `update()` on it.
+- feat: Vault → Apps tab now lists minted app tokens (the "Minted apps" list) — each is a scoped OpenBao credential for an external service; sso renews them and the list shows renewal state, so a minted credential no longer vanishes after its once-only token display. New `GET /api/vault/apps`.
+- feat: Vault page documents itself — a `/docs/vault` help icon in the header, and the doc now covers the Apps + Shared tabs.
+- feat: discovery plugin cards show last-run time + status (ok/error) and a Logs button that opens the captured run log.
+
+# v1.26.1
+- fix: the legacy `app_super_admin` group is gone — `SUPER_ADMIN_GROUP` (nested into every resource's `_admin` group by auto-provisioning) is now `god_admin`, and `docker-entrypoint.sh` no longer seeds or nests `app_super_admin` (god_admin is nested into the `app_sso_*` groups directly). `isSuperAdmin` still recognizes a pre-existing `app_super_admin` as a migration alias, so an old deployment isn't stripped of rights until it's rebuilt.
+
+# v1.26.0
+- feat: complete the group model (docs/GROUPS.md) — `god_admin` is now seeded into LDAP and nested into `app_super_admin`; every site auto-provisions `{site}_super_admin`, `{site}_hosts_*`/`{site}_apps_*` aggregates and `{site}_everyone`; per-resource `_admin`/`_access` groups (named `{site}_{slug}_{level}`, the kind carried in the resource slug) are nested into the site aggregates so the inheritance lattice exists in LDAP, not just in the resolver. Site/aggregate groups are self-healed idempotently on every Directory load, so a directory seeded by an older release picks them up without a rebuild.
+- feat: the naming convention is now enforced server-side — `POST /api/directory-admin/groups` rejects a group CN that isn't a valid group for the target resource (its own `_admin`/`_access`/capability, a site aggregate, a site-level group, or `god_admin`), so the free-text field can no longer mint `*_accessmember`-style names
+- feat: `god_admin` is managed from the Directory — the site resource modal surfaces `god_admin` + the site-level groups as associated groups, so its members (and the site's) are editable right there
+- fix: Directory agent status dots no longer paint every host red when the `/api/agent/nodes` endpoint is unreachable (older app or transient outage) — they now show a neutral grey "agent service unreachable" instead of a false alarm
+- fix: Profile + API Tokens cards are both full-width on the profile page (the API card was a narrower centered block)
+- fix: in-app `/docs/<slug>` pages returned 500 — `Dockerfile.openldap` never copied the `docs/` tree into the image (only the root README/CHANGELOG/API/directory_spec), so every page but those few hit a missing-file error; the whole `docs/` dir now ships, and doc images are served at `/docs/images`
+- test: group resolver tests now cover the prefixed site-slug convention (`site_local_...` is kept verbatim, not re-slugified to `site-local`)
+
+# v1.25.0
+- feat: hierarchical group & permission model (docs/GROUPS.md) — god_admin, {site}_super_admin, {site}_hosts_*/{site}_apps_* aggregates, and per-resource {site}_host_<slug>_admin/access/<capability>; inheritance resolver (admin implies access, capabilities explicit), meta everyone/{site}_everyone groups
+- feat: remove the standalone Groups page — group management is tied to adopted Directory resources (help link to the model in the Directory toolbar)
+- feat: console admin recognizes god_admin and site-scoped super/app-admin groups (legacy app_sso_admin/app_super_admin kept as migration aliases)
+
+# v1.24.0
+- feat: Agents merged into the Directory — removed the standalone Agents page. Host rows show a green/yellow/red theta-agent status dot (healthy / high-load / not connected) and the resource modal gained a Metrics tab with live telemetry + discovery
+- feat: Discovery Plugins New-plugin modal — slug is now derived from the name (field removed), the cron field is a dropdown (hourly/daily/weekly + custom), and per-plugin settings are collected from the configSchema (e.g. Proxmox url/tokenId/tokenSecret) instead of an empty config
+- feat: Directory resource slug is now read-only and derived from the name
+- feat: Vault page restyled to match the rest of the site (bounded container, card + nav-tabs header, h4)
+- feat: navbar — the username is no longer underlined; only the active nav link is bold + underlined
+
+# v1.23.0
+- fix: /api/vault proxy never injected X-Vault-Token — the true root cause of the recurring vault 403 "permission denied". The proxy declared its hook with http-proxy-middleware v3 syntax (`on: { proxyReq }`), which the installed HPM v2 silently ignores, so every request reached OpenBao unauthenticated (and the client's sso auth headers were never stripped). Rewritten as v2 `onProxyReq`.
+- fix: vault proxy header injection ordered before `fixRequestBody` — the body write flushes headers, so setting X-Vault-Token after it silently failed on every POST/PUT (writes would still 403 even with the hook fixed)
+- fix: initORM add-only schema heal — `sequelize.sync()` never ALTERs existing tables, so columns added by newer releases (e.g. `PluginInstance.lastLog`, which crashed the scheduler on every boot of an upgraded deployment) are now detected via describeTable and added with addColumn (additive only, per-column fail-soft)
+- feat: external-app vault tokens are long-lived and auto-renewed — minted via the new `sso-app` token role (periodic 768h, falls back to sso-broker's 24h role until theta-suite setup.sh is re-run); sso stores each token's accessor (new VaultAppToken model — an accessor can renew/revoke but not authenticate) and renews all of them at boot + every 6h via auth/token/renew-accessor, so a downstream app's credential stays valid as long as sso runs with zero renewal code in the app
+- feat: re-minting an app token revokes the app's previous token via its stored accessor — exactly one live credential per app, no zombies
+- test: wire-level tests for the vault proxy (real HTTP round-trip asserting token injection, auth-header stripping, path rewrite, and POST body integrity) + app-token accessor lifecycle tests
+
+# v1.22.0
+- feat: Agents page — live list of connected theta-agent hosts with telemetry (CPU/RAM/disk/ZFS/GPU) + online status, updating via socket.io
+- security: auth + admin-gate the /api/agent REST routes (previously unauthenticated)
+
 # v1.21.0
 - fix: always reconcile OpenBao policy content before serving a (possibly cached) token, so stale stored policies can no longer cause a recurring vault 403 "permission denied"
 - feat: shared secrets — users can publish secrets to secret/shared/<owner>/<slug> and grant read access to other users and downstream apps (OpenBao ACL policy edits, applied live)

-A self-hosted **OpenID Connect provider** with a bundled **OpenLDAP directory**

-identity provider instead of a hosted one.
+A production-grade, self-hosted **OpenID Connect provider**, **Resource Directory & IAM Engine**, and bundled **OpenLDAP directory** with a modern web console — designed for home-labs and enterprise infrastructure that demand total sovereignty over their identity, secrets, and resource catalog.
 
-It gives you one place to manage your users and groups, one login (OIDC) that
-your modern apps can use, and one LDAP directory your older or odder apps can
-bind to directly. Everything runs on your own hardware; there is no
-phone-home, no hosted control plane, and no per-user pricing.
+It provides a single source of truth for identity (OIDC + LDAP), host/service directory inventory, access control groups, and secrets management running entirely on your own hardware without third-party cloud lock-in.

-## Why this over the alternatives
-
-Tools like Keycloak, Authentik, Authelia, or Zitadel are OIDC providers, but
-LDAP is either a paid feature, a federation target you have to run separately,
-or absent. If your stack already has apps that speak LDAP directly (or you just
-want one real directory as the source of truth), you end up running *two*
-identity systems and keeping them in sync.
-
-SSO Manager bundles the OpenLDAP directory with the OIDC provider, so OIDC
-apps and LDAP apps read from the same users and groups. The trade-off is
-scope: it is intentionally small and self-hosted, not an enterprise IAM suite
-— no fancy workflow engine, no hosted SaaS. If you want a lightweight,
-self-contained identity provider with a real LDAP backend, that is the niche.
-
-## Quick start
-
-Three ways to run it, in order of how much it sets up for you:
-
-### 1. As part of the unified stack (recommended)
-
-[theta-env](https://github.com/theta42/theta-env) composes this SSO Manager with
-the [theta42/proxy](https://github.com/theta42/proxy) (an OIDC-protected reverse
-proxy) and generates all the config from a single `setup.env` — you enter your
-domain once and it fills in the LDAP DNs, hostnames, OAuth issuer, and random
-secrets consistently:
-
-```bash
-git clone --recursive https://github.com/theta42/theta-env.git
-cd theta-env
-cp setup.env.example setup.env   # set CFG_DOMAIN to your domain
-./setup.sh                       # generates ./config/, builds + bootstraps + starts both
-```
-
-See the [theta-env README](https://github.com/theta42/theta-env) for the full
-first-run flow, DNS/port requirements, and backups.
-
-### 2. Standalone, in Docker
-
-The all-in-one image bundles the app, OpenLDAP, and Redis. Copy the example
-secrets file, fill in your values, and build:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node.git
-cd sso-manager-node
-mkdir -p config && chmod 700 config
-cp secrets.js.example config/sso-secrets.js
-$EDITOR config/sso-secrets.js     # set ldap.bindPassword, oauth.jwtSecret, ...
-docker compose up -d --build
-```
-
-The web UI comes up at `http://localhost:3001`. To kick the tires with no
-config file at all, the entrypoint falls back to safe defaults
-(`dc=example,dc=com`, admin password `admin`, an auto-generated JWT) — fine for
-a local test, not for production.
-
-Your domain is entered once, as the LDAP base DN (`stack.ldapBaseDn`); the other
-LDAP DNs and the OAuth issuer derive from it and must stay consistent. See
-[DEPLOYMENT.md](DEPLOYMENT.md) for the full config reference, the `app_*` env
-vars, LDAPS/TLS, and backups.
-
-### 3. Bare metal on Debian/Ubuntu
-
-An automated installer installs Node.js, Redis, and (on first run) OpenLDAP —
-configuring the directory (modules, overlays, schema, the SSO groups) and
-seeding `/etc/sso-manager/secrets.js` with a generated admin password and JWT
-secret — then deploys the app to `/opt/theta42/sso-manager` and starts a
-systemd service:
-
-```bash
-wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/master/install.sh | sudo bash
-```
-
-That's it — LDAP and the app are both live afterward. Edit
-`/etc/sso-manager/secrets.js` (org name, SMTP, a non-default base DN, ...) and
-restart the service to customize. It's idempotent and safe to re-run —
-re-running it updates the app in place (never touching LDAP or the secrets
-file again) and prints the version you're updating from and to (e.g. `Updated
-v1.1.13 -> v1.1.14`), or `Already up to date` if there's nothing new. Full
-details, including env var overrides (`LDAP_BASE_DN`, `SKIP_LDAP`, ...), in
-[DEPLOYMENT.md](DEPLOYMENT.md) under *Method 2: Bare metal*.

+### 4-Tier Driver Resolution Engine
+1. **Direct Agent Execution**: If `theta-agent` is connected directly to the target resource.
+2. **Subtype-Specific Driver**: Executes specialized protocol driver (e.g. Proxmox API, Docker Engine API, DB Driver).
+3. **Ancestor / Hypervisor Fallback**: If an LXC/KVM guest lacks a direct agent, queries its parent Proxmox hypervisor node for metrics and power controls.
+4. **Unmanaged Fallback**: Reports unmanaged status cleanly without breaking UI/API contracts.
+
+### Subtype Operations Endpoints
+- `GET /api/directory-admin/resources/:id/driver-metrics` — Real-time telemetry payload
+- `POST /api/directory-admin/resources/:id/driver-action` — Execute management action (`{ action, params }`)

 # Theta Agent & Endpoint Management
 
-The **Theta Agent** (`theta-agent`) is a unified, 2-way Command & Control (C2) endpoint management daemon written in Go for Linux hosts across your home lab, infrastructure, or data center. It connects outbound via a long-lived WebSocket connection to the central **SSO Manager** (`wss://<sso-host>/api/agent/ws`), enabling real-time host telemetry, automated host discovery, and local-first administrative management.
+The **Theta Agent** (`theta-agent`) is a unified, 2-way Command & Control (C2) endpoint management daemon written in Go with native cross-platform binaries for **Linux (x86_64, ARM64, ARMv7)**, **Windows (x86_64, ARM64)**, and **macOS (Intel, Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4)**. It connects outbound via a long-lived WebSocket connection to the central **SSO Manager** (`wss://<sso-host>/api/agent/ws`), enabling real-time host telemetry, automated host discovery, and local-first administrative management.
+
+---
+
+## Supported Architectures & Operating Systems
+
+The agent is compiled for 7 target platform binaries with zero external runtime dependencies:
+
+| Operating System | Architecture | Binary Name | Typical Target Devices |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Linux** | `amd64` (x86_64) | `theta-agent-linux-amd64` | Intel/AMD Servers, Cloud VMs, Proxmox Hypervisors |
+| **Linux** | `arm64` (aarch64) | `theta-agent-linux-arm64` | Raspberry Pi 4/5, Graviton, Ampere Altra |
+| **Linux** | `armv7` (32-bit ARM) | `theta-agent-linux-armv7` | Raspberry Pi 2/3/Zero 2W, ARM IoT Gateways |
+| **Windows** | `amd64` (x86_64) | `theta-agent-windows-amd64.exe` | Windows Server, Windows 10/11 Desktop |
+| **Windows** | `arm64` | `theta-agent-windows-arm64.exe` | Windows on ARM, Surface Pro |

+| **macOS** | `arm64` | `theta-agent-darwin-arm64` | Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3/M4) |
+
+The `install.sh` script automatically detects `uname -s` and `uname -m` to download the exact binary for the host.
+
+---
+
+## Enrollment
+
+An agent is only real if the SSO issued its credential. **Tokens the server did
+not issue are rejected** at the WebSocket handshake.
+
+There are two ways to get a host enrolled, and the first is the normal one.
+
+### Join key — install the agent and the host appears
+
+Hand the machine a **join key** and nothing else. On first connect the SSO
+enrolls the host, issues it its own per-agent token plus the public key it must
+pin, and the agent **writes both into its own `agent.yml`** and blanks the join
+key. From then on it authenticates as itself.
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://<SSO_HOST>/resources/theta-agent/install.sh | sh -s -- \
+  --url "https://<SSO_HOST>" --join-key "tjk_..."
+```
+
+That is the whole procedure — no pre-registering the machine, no copying a
+public key by hand. `setup.sh` mints a key and configures the stack's own host
+this way automatically.
+
+The join key is a *bootstrap* credential, not the host's identity. That
+distinction is what keeps one key convenient without making it a fleet-wide
+skeleton key: every host still ends up individually revocable, and a compromised
+host does not yield a credential that works anywhere else.
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `GET /api/agent/join-keys` | List keys (prefix + usage only; never the key) |
+| `POST /api/agent/join-keys` | Mint one — returned **once** |
+| `POST /api/agent/join-keys/:id/revoke` | Stop it enrolling new hosts |
+| `DELETE /api/agent/join-keys/:id` | Remove it |
+| `GET /api/agent/join-keys/:id/agents` | Which hosts enrolled through this key |
+
+Revoking a join key does **not** disconnect hosts that already joined; they hold
+their own tokens by then. Revoke the agent itself to cut a specific host off.
+
+**Reuse.** Yes — a join key is not consumed on use. `AgentJoinKey.authenticate`
+only checks `revoked` and `expires_on`; it never invalidates the key itself.
+Every use increments `use_count` and stamps `last_used_on`, but the key keeps
+working until you revoke or delete it (or it expires) — "one key works for as
+many hosts as you like" above is literal, not a figure of speech.
+
+**UI.** The **Install Agent** modal (Directory → Install Agent → Join key tab)
+has a **Manage join keys** table below the mint/select dropdown: label, prefix,
+created date, hosts joined, status, and **Revoke**/**Delete** actions per key.
+Clicking a key's "N hosts" link expands the list of hosts that joined through
+it (name, online status, joined date, last seen).
+
+**Audit.** Yes, both halves are logged as structured `"component":"agent"`
+lines, and the hosts-joined list in the UI above is queryable directly:
+- Minting: `action: "join_key_issued"` records the acting admin (`actor`),
+  `label`, and `keyPrefix`.
+- Each enrollment through that key: `action: "join"` records `agentId`,
+  `agentName`, `remoteAddr`, `joinKeyLabel`, and `joinKeyPrefix`.
+- `GET /api/agent/join-keys/:id/agents` returns the same "which hosts did key
+  X add" answer the UI shows — it matches on the trace `Agent.enroll` leaves in
+  each agent's `description` ("Self-enrolled with join key `<prefix>`") rather
+  than a stored foreign key, since a join key is exchanged for a per-agent
+  token immediately and from then on the agent's own identity is what matters.
+
+### Pre-registering a host
+
+When you want the agent bound to a specific Directory host up front, enroll it
+from **Directory → Install Agent**:
+
+1. Give the agent a name and **bind it to a host resource**. The binding is what
+   links telemetry, status and commands to a Directory entry.
+2. Press **Enroll & issue token**. The SSO mints a 256-bit token, stores only its
+   SHA-256, and shows the raw value **once**.
+3. Copy the generated install command — it already carries the token and the
+   server's public key.
+
+A host that self-enrolls with a join key arrives unbound; bind it afterwards with
+`PUT /api/agent/nodes/:id` or from the Directory.
+
+Or via the API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<SSO_HOST>/api/agent/enroll \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <admin-api-token>" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"name": "web01", "resourceId": "<host-resource-uuid>"}'
+```
+
+The response contains `token` (once only) and `publicKey`.
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `GET /api/agent/nodes` | Every enrolled agent, connected or not, plus the server public key |
+| `POST /api/agent/enroll` | Mint an agent + token |
+| `PUT /api/agent/nodes/:id` | Rename, or bind/unbind the host resource |
+| `POST /api/agent/nodes/:id/rotate` | Issue a new token; the old one stops working immediately |
+| `POST /api/agent/nodes/:id/revoke` | Disable the enrollment |
+| `DELETE /api/agent/nodes/:id` | Remove the enrollment |
+| `POST /api/agent/nodes/:id/command` | Send a command (signed automatically when high-risk) |
+
+Revoke, rotate and delete **drop any live connection immediately** — they do not
+wait for the agent to reconnect. Commands are addressed by agent **id**, never by
+token: a token is a credential and has no business in a URL or a log.
+
+Enrollment, revocation, rotation, every command, and every rejected connection
+are written to the application log as structured `"component":"agent"` records
+with the acting user.
+
+> **Lost the token?** It cannot be recovered — only its hash is stored. Rotate
+> the agent to issue a new one.

+## Viewing in the SSO Manager
+
+Agent status and telemetry live on the **Directory** page — there is no separate
+Agents page. For each **host** resource that has a connected theta-agent, the
+Directory shows a status dot in the row:
+
+| Color | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **Green** | Connected, healthy (CPU/RAM/disk within limits). |
+| **Yellow** | Connected but under high load (CPU > 80% or RAM > 80% or disk > 90%). |
+| **Red** | **Enrolled but not connected.** The agent exists and is expected — this is a fault. |
+| **Grey** | No agent enrolled for this host, the enrollment is revoked, or the agent service is unreachable. |
+
+Red and grey used to be the same colour, which made an ordinary directory of
+hosts look like an outage. Because the enrollment now outlives the connection,
+"installed but down" is distinguishable from "never had an agent".
+
+Opening a host's resource modal reveals a **Metrics** tab with the agent's live
+telemetry (CPU/RAM/disk/ZFS/GPU) and discovery info (OS, kernel, IPs, location).
+
+An agent attaches to its host by its **enrollment binding** (`resourceId`), set
+when you enroll it or later via `PUT /api/agent/nodes/:id`. Agents enrolled
+without a binding fall back to matching their reported hostname against the
+resource name — the old behaviour, kept only as a fallback, because it silently
+failed whenever a Directory name differed from the machine's hostname and
+aliased two hosts that happened to share one.
+
+### Agent discovery feeds the Directory
+
+A bound agent's discovery payload is written onto its host resource (`os`,
+`kernel`, `cpu`, `ram_total_gb`, `disk_total_gb`, `ip`), tagged with
+`discovery_sources: ["theta-agent"]` and an `agentId` back-reference. An agent
+runs *on* the host it describes, so it is the most authoritative source the
+directory has. An unbound agent goes through the normal discovery reconciler
+instead, matching like any other source.

 2. The payload is signed with the SSO Manager's Ed25519 private key.
 3. The Base64 signature is appended to the message payload.
 4. The agent verifies the signature against the configured `public_key` in `/etc/theta42/agent.yml` before executing the action.
 
+**The signing key is persistent.** It lives in OpenBao at
+`secret/agent/signing-key` and survives restarts, so the `public_key` you pin in
+`agent.yml` keeps matching. (It used to be generated in memory at boot and
+changed on every restart, which made pinning impossible.) If the SSO cannot load
+or store a key it **refuses** to send high-risk commands rather than signing with
+one no agent has seen — `GET /api/agent/nodes` reports this as
+`signingAvailable: false`.
+
+This requires the `sso-broker` OpenBao policy to grant `secret/agent/*`. Re-run
+`./setup.sh` from theta-suite if you are upgrading.
+
+**Verification is fail-closed on the agent.** An agent with no `public_key`
+configured rejects every high-risk command. Earlier versions logged "skipping
+signature verification" and executed them, so an agent installed without a key
+would run `reboot`, `configure_ldap` and `arbitrary_bash` unverified.
+
+---
+
+## Secrets Engine — rendering OpenBao secrets to local files
+
+The agent can render OpenBao secrets to local files that any process on the
+host — a bash script, a systemd unit, a Node app, whatever — reads like an
+ordinary env file. The agent never holds a Vault token: it asks the SSO for the
+values over its existing WSS channel, and the SSO fetches them from OpenBao
+using its own access, scoped so the agent can only ever read its own node's
+secrets.
+
+**Node scope.** Every path an agent can request must start with
+`secret/data/nodes/<this-agent's-id>/`. The SSO enforces this server-side
+(`POST /api/v1/agent/secrets`); a request for any other node's path is
+rejected:
+
+```
+$ curl -sk https://sso.example.com/api/v1/agent/secrets \
+    -H "Authorization: Bearer <agent-token>" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+    -d '{"paths":["secret/data/nodes/some-other-node-id/db"]}'
+{"status":"error","message":"path outside node scope: secret/data/nodes/some-other-node-id/db"}
+```
+
+A compromised agent can therefore never reach another host's secrets, or
+anything outside `secret/data/nodes/*`.
+
+### Walkthrough: a 3rd-party app reads a secret the agent rendered
+
+This walks through the whole path end to end, on a stack freshly brought up
+from theta-suite's own `docs/fixtures.md` demo data — the same steps work on
+any theta-suite install.
+
+**1. Enroll the host.** Directory → Install Agent → mint a join key, run the
+install command on the target host as root.
+
+<a href="images/agent-install-join-key.png" target="_blank"><img src="images/agent-install-join-key.png" alt="Install Theta Agent modal with a freshly minted join key and install command" width="80%"></a>
+
+On first connect the agent exchanges the join key for its own token + the
+SSO's public key and writes both back into `/etc/theta42/agent.yml`. Note the
+agent's id from `GET /api/agent/nodes` (or the Directory URL) — you need it for
+the next step.
+
+**2. Turn on the `secrets` capability and point it at a template.** Add to the
+host's `/etc/theta42/agent.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+secrets:
+  - template: /etc/theta/templates/db.env.tpl
+    target: /etc/theta/rendered/db.env
+    reload: ""          # optional: e.g. "systemctl reload myapp"
+
+capabilities:
+  secrets: true
+```
+
+And the template itself, `/etc/theta/templates/db.env.tpl` — placeholders are
+`{{ bao "secret/data/nodes/<agent-id>/<name>#<key>" }}`:
+
+```
+DB_USER="{{ bao "secret/data/nodes/f9a30ab0-7d8a-4b77-a4c4-6a6383d084db/db#username" }}"
+DB_PASS="{{ bao "secret/data/nodes/f9a30ab0-7d8a-4b77-a4c4-6a6383d084db/db#password" }}"
+```
+
+Restart the agent to pick up the config change.
+
+**3. Seed the secret.** From `theta-suite/` (theta-env), as the operator:
+
+```
+./setup.sh --seed-node-secret f9a30ab0-7d8a-4b77-a4c4-6a6383d084db db \
+  username=demoapp password=CorrectHorseBattery42
+```
+
+This writes to `secret/nodes/<agent-id>/db` in OpenBao (the CLI path — the HTTP
+API the agent uses sees it as `secret/data/nodes/<agent-id>/db`, matched by the
+node-scope check above). It's idempotent: it skips silently if that path is
+already seeded.
+
+**4. Trigger the render.** The Directory UI doesn't have a button for this yet
+— push it the same way any admin command goes out, `POST
+/api/agent/nodes/:id/command`. It's in the high-risk list, so the SSO signs it
+automatically:
+
+```
+curl -X POST https://sso.example.com/api/agent/nodes/f9a30ab0-7d8a-4b77-a4c4-6a6383d084db/command \
+  -H "auth-token: <admin session token>" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"command": "render_secrets", "payload": {}}'
+```
+
+The agent logs `Received command: render_secrets` / `Rendering secret
+templates...` and atomically writes the target file at mode `0600`:
+
+```
+$ cat /etc/theta/rendered/db.env
+DB_USER="demoapp"
+DB_PASS="CorrectHorseBattery42"
+```
+
+Back in the Directory, the host's Metrics tab shows **Secrets** lit up green
+among the reported capabilities:
+
+<a href="images/agent-capabilities-metrics.png" target="_blank"><img src="images/agent-capabilities-metrics.png" alt="Directory Metrics tab showing live telemetry and the agent's reported capability badges, with Telemetry and Secrets lit green" width="80%"></a>
+
+**5. Read it from a bash app on the same host.** The rendered file is just an
+env file — no agent involvement needed to consume it:
+
+```sh
+#!/bin/sh
+. /etc/theta/rendered/db.env
+echo "DB_USER=$DB_USER"
+echo "DB_PASS=$DB_PASS"
+```
+
+**6. Read it from a Node app on the same host:**
+
+```js
+const fs = require('fs');
+const env = fs.readFileSync('/etc/theta/rendered/db.env', 'utf8');
+const db = {};
+for (const line of env.split('\n')) {
+  const m = /^(\w+)="(.*)"$/.exec(line.trim());
+  if (m) db[m[1]] = m[2];
+}
+console.log('DB_USER=' + db.DB_USER);
+console.log('DB_PASS=' + db.DB_PASS);
+```
+
+Both print the same values the template resolved — `demoapp` /
+`CorrectHorseBattery42` in this walkthrough. `theta-agent/demo/` in the
+theta-agent repo has these two scripts ready to run.
+
+### Alternative: calling the API directly
+
+Rendering to a file is the normal path — it works for any app regardless of
+language, and the secret never touches an HTTP client the app itself controls.
+But an app can also fetch its node's secrets directly, bypassing the template
+engine entirely (useful for debugging, or a process that wants to hold the
+value only in memory). This uses the **agent's own bearer token**, not an admin
+token — the same node-scope enforcement applies:
+
+```sh
+curl -sk https://sso.example.com/api/v1/agent/secrets \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer <agent-token>" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"paths":["secret/data/nodes/f9a30ab0-7d8a-4b77-a4c4-6a6383d084db/db"]}'
+```
+

+## Troubleshooting: agent is rejected (`close 4001`)
+
+If the agent logs that the server rejected its token, the enrollment — not the
+network — is the problem. The SSO accepts the WebSocket upgrade and then closes
+with an application code:
+
+| Code | Meaning | Fix |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `4001` | Token unknown, or never issued by this server | Enroll the host and put the issued token in `agent.yml` |
+| `4002` | Superseded — another connection authenticated as this agent | Normal; two copies of the agent are running |
+| `4003` | Enrollment revoked or deleted | Re-enroll |
+| `4004` | Token rotated; `agent.yml` has the old value | Copy the new token |
+
+The agent backs off for 5 minutes on `4001`/`4003`/`4004` rather than retrying
+every 5 seconds — a credential that is wrong will not fix itself, and hammering
+the SSO only floods its audit log.
+
+An agent installed before protocol v1.2.0 carries a token generated in the
+browser that the server never recorded, so it will be rejected with `4001` until
+re-enrolled. The quickest fix is to put a **join key** in its `agent.yml` as
+`join_key` and blank `auth_token` — it will re-enroll itself on the next
+reconnect.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting: agent can't connect (`dial tcp ... i/o timeout`)
+
+If the agent host logs `Dial error: dial tcp <ip>:443: i/o timeout` while
+connecting to `wss://<sso-host>/api/agent/ws`, the WebSocket path is usually
+fine — this is a **network/NAT** problem, not an agent or SSO bug. A host behind
+the same NAT that owns the SSO often cannot reach its own **public IP** (no
+hairpin/loopback NAT on many home routers), so the TCP dial times out even
+though the same address works from outside.
+
+Fix options:
+1. Point `agent.yml` `server_url` at an address the host can reach directly —
+   e.g. the SSO host's LAN IP (`http://<lan-ip>` or `http://<lan-ip>:3001` for a
+   no-TLS direct path).
+2. Enable **NAT reflection / hairpin NAT** on the router so LAN hosts can reach
+   their own public IP:443.
+3. Add a local route/firewall rule on the agent host for its public IP.
+
+> Note: on a deployment where the theta42 proxy fronts `sso.suite.example`, make
+> sure the proxy has a **persistent Host record** for the real SSO domain — not
+> just the `localtest.me` placeholder — so routing survives a proxy restart
+> (an in-memory lookup cache can mask a missing Redis record for up to ~1h).

+## Subtype Management & Metrics Drivers Architecture
+
+The Directory includes a **4-tier Driver Resolution Engine** (`services/driver_registry.js`) that binds a resource's `subType` metadata to specific operational protocols for real-time telemetry, log streaming, and remote lifecycle management:
+
+1. **Direct Agent Execution** (`ThetaAgentDriver`): Used when a `theta-agent` daemon is connected to the resource (`systemd`, `docker`, `zfs_pool`, `desktop_linux`, `openrc`, `wireguard`).
+2. **Specialized Subtype Drivers**:
+   - `ProxmoxDriver`: Proxmox VE hypervisors & `lxc` / `kvm` guest controls.
+   - `DockerSocketDriver`: Docker Engine API & `docker_compose` stacks.
+   - `DbDriver`: `postgresql`, `redis`, `openbao_vault`.
+   - `NetworkDriver`: `wireguard`, `unifi_ap`, `unifi_switch`, `pfsense`.
+   - `K8sDriver`: `k8s_pod`, `k8s_deployment`.
+3. **Ancestor / Hypervisor Provider Fallback**: If an LXC/KVM guest lacks a direct agent, the engine automatically queries its parent Proxmox hypervisor node for VMID telemetry and power controls.
+4. **Unmanaged Fallback**: Reports unmanaged status cleanly.
+
+### Subtype Operations API
+- `GET /api/directory-admin/resources/:id/driver-metrics` — Real-time telemetry payload
+- `POST /api/directory-admin/resources/:id/driver-action` — Execute management actions (`{ action, params }`)

+
+## Explicit Secret Inheritance Mode
+
+Resource secrets stored in OpenBao (`secret/data/resources/<slug>/conf`) use **Explicit Secret Inheritance Mode** with strict upward ancestor lineage:
+
+- **Strict Ancestor Lineage**: When viewing candidate secrets for inheritance, the dropdown strictly filters to **direct upward ancestors** in the directory hierarchy (Resource $\rightarrow$ Parent Host $\rightarrow$ Cluster $\rightarrow$ Site). Sibling resources across the directory are never exposed.
+- **Explicit Assignment**: Secret pointers (`INHERIT:<parentSlug>:<parentKey>`) are explicitly saved per resource, guaranteeing precise secret scoping across hosts, LXC/KVM containers, and services.

+# Discovery & Inventory
+
+[← Back to Home](index.html)
+
+The Directory holds two different kinds of thing, and the distinction matters
+for every consumer of the directory:
+
+- **Catalog resources** — what you have declared. Created by hand, seeded by
+  `setup.sh`, or *promoted* from a discovery result. These get LDAP access
+  groups, appear in the Catalog, and are the only hosts the
+  [jump host](https://github.com/theta42/jump-host) will connect you to.
+- **Discovered resources** — what the network reports. Produced by
+  [discovery plugins](plugins.html) and shown on the **Discovered Inventory**
+  tab. They are a queue of "this exists, do you want to manage it?", not
+  infrastructure you have committed to.
+
+A resource is discovery-only when its `metadata.discovery_sources` is non-empty
+and it has never been promoted. Promoting sets `metadata.managed = true`, at
+which point it becomes catalog content like any other resource.
+
+> Nothing grants access to a discovered resource. It carries no groups until it
+> is promoted, and the jump host applies the same rule — an unpromoted Proxmox
+> guest is not a jump target.
+
+---
+
+## Where discovered data comes from
+
+| Source | What it reports |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| [Proxmox](plugins.html) | The cluster endpoint, its nodes, and every VM/LXC with NICs, `vmid` and node |
+| [UniFi](plugins.html) | Network devices and connected clients, by MAC |
+| [nmap](plugins.html) | Hosts and open ports on a target range |
+| [Docker](plugins.html) | Containers on a local or remote daemon |
+| [theta-agent](agents.html) | The host it runs on — OS, kernel, CPU, RAM, disk, addresses |
+| [ldap-client](directory.html) | A Linux host registering itself when it joins |
+
+An agent is the most authoritative of these: it runs *on* the machine it
+describes. A network scan is the least — it only knows what answered.
+
+---
+
+## How results are matched to existing resources
+
+Every source runs through one reconciler, so two sources seeing the same
+machine converge on one resource instead of creating duplicates. Matching is
+tried in order of precision:
+
+1. **MAC address** — the strongest signal, compared across every interface.
+2. **IP address** — any address on any interface, plus `metadata.address`.
+3. **Slug, name, or base hostname** — last resort.
+
+A candidate must also be **the same kind**. Without that guard a discovered VM
+named `gitea-runner` would match a hand-created *service* of the same name on
+rule 3 and overwrite it. (`template` counts as `host`: converting a VM to a
+template is the same machine.)
+
+When a match is found the metadata is merged, interfaces are unioned by MAC, and
+the source is added to `discovery_sources` — so a resource can legitimately read
+`["unifi", "proxmox"]`, meaning two independent sources agree it exists.
+
+### Naming
+
+Sources disagree about names, so the most human one wins: a **hostname** beats
+an **IP-shaped** name, which beats a **MAC-shaped** name; length is only a
+tie-break within a rank. This is why a device UniFi knows only as
+`ac:16:2d:b3:da:80` is renamed `dl380-0` once Proxmox reports it.
+
+### Relationships
+
+Plugins emit edges as well as resources (a Proxmox node under its cluster
+endpoint, a guest under its node). The reconciler refuses any edge that would
+make a resource its own parent, or that would close a loop — a cycle renders as
+an infinitely nested tree and breaks every ancestor walk in the app.
+
+---
+
+## Promoting a discovered resource
+
+On the **Discovered Inventory** tab, press **Promote**. The resource form opens
+pre-filled with what was discovered — name, kind, address, subtype — so you can
+correct it before committing. Saving marks it managed and provisions its
+[LDAP groups](groups.html).
+
+Each row shows what the directory knows about the device: its source(s), its
+`vmid` where applicable, the identifier it has at that source (`sourceId`, e.g.
+`dl380-0/qemu/234`), and every interface with its MAC and address. If a row
+looks wrong, that detail is where to start.
+
+---
+
+## Stale results
+
+Resources that are *only* auto-discovered are garbage-collected: if a source
+stops reporting one for long enough it is marked
+`lifecycle_state: "archived"` rather than deleted. Anything you created or
+promoted is never touched — `manual` in `discovery_sources` exempts it.
+
+A Proxmox node that is powered off is still reported (with its `status`), so
+downtime does not look like decommissioning.
+
+---
+
+## What the stack discovers about itself
+
+`setup.sh` seeds its own components as catalog resources — the site, the stack
+host, `theta-proxy` and `theta-jump`, and the services under them. The Docker
+discovery plugin then finds the containers backing them. Containers belonging to
+the theta-suite compose project are recognised and attached to the service they
+implement rather than appearing as unmanaged strangers, so a fresh install has an
+empty Discovered Inventory rather than five things demanding attention.

+
+# Theta42 Group & Permission Model
+
+This is the canonical reference for how **groups and permissions work** across the
+theta42 suite (SSO Manager, Proxy, Jump-Host) and how **downstream apps and Linux
+hosts** should read and use them. It is written to be implementable by both humans
+and LLM agents.
+
+Everything below assumes LDAP is the single source of truth for identity and group
+membership. Group membership is managed in the **SSO Manager Directory**, generated
+from adopted resources — there is **no standalone "Groups" page**.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Principles
+
+1. **Groups are a projection of the resource graph.** Every adopted host and app
+   in the Directory gets its own groups, auto-created from its identity. Group
+   membership is managed on the resource's modal.
+2. **Two orthogonal resource namespaces: `host` and `app`.** A host administers
+   hosts; an app administers apps. They do not inherit from each other.
+3. **Three levels per resource: `admin`, `access`, and opaque `capability`.**
+   `admin` implies `access`. Capabilities are explicit and never implied by
+   `admin`.
+4. **Multi-site by prefix.** Each site's groups are fully independent, scoped by
+   the site slug.
+5. **Hosts map, LDAP stays clean.** Directory groups are `groupOfNames` (RBAC)
+   with **no `gidNumber`**. A Linux host uses SSSD to import only the groups it
+   needs and generate their GIDs on the fly (see §8) — no mass import, no GID
+   bloat. Only the meta groups are never imported by hosts.
+6. **The directory is the only place groups are created.** `god_admin` is the sole
+   group that does not belong to a resource or site.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Group schema
+
+`S` = site slug (see §7 for normalization). `<host>`/`<app>` = the resource slug.
+`<capability>` = an opaque, app-defined capability token (see §4).
+
+| Group | Scope | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `god_admin` | global | **Everything, everywhere** (all sites, hosts, apps, consoles, all capabilities). The only non-site group. |
+| `S_super_admin` | site | Everything on site `S` (all hosts, apps, consoles, all capabilities at `S`). |
+| `S_hosts_admin` | site | Admin on **all hosts** at `S`. |
+| `S_hosts_access` | site | Access to **all hosts** at `S`. |
+| `S_hosts_<capability>` | site | Capability `<capability>` on **all hosts** at `S`. |
+| `S_host_<host>_admin` | host | Admin on host `<host>`. |
+| `S_host_<host>_access` | host | Access to host `<host>`. |
+| `S_host_<host>_<capability>` | host | Capability `<capability>` on host `<host>`. |
+| `S_apps_admin` | site | Admin on **all apps** at `S`. |
+| `S_apps_access` | site | Access to **all apps** at `S`. |
+| `S_apps_<capability>` | site | Capability `<capability>` on **all apps** at `S`. |
+| `S_app_<app>_admin` | app | Admin on app `<app>`. |
+| `S_app_<app>_access` | app | Access to app `<app>`. |
+| `S_app_<app>_<capability>` | app | Capability `<capability>` on app `<app>`. |
+
+### Meta groups (implicit membership — not POSIX, no gidNumber)
+
+| Group | Scope | Meaning |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `everyone` | global | **All authenticated users**, any site. |
+| `S_everyone` | site | **All authenticated users** at site `S`. |
+
+These are resolved by the directory (any authenticated user passes), never
+enumerated as LDAP members, and cannot be used as Unix groups.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Naming, normalization & reserved rules
+
+- The **structural delimiter is `_`**. It appears only between the fixed segments
+  of a group name.
+- **Site, host, and app slugs never contain `_`.** Normalize to lowercase;
+  spaces and `_` → `-`; strip other non-`[a-z0-9-]`. A host named `Web 01` and a
+  site `Main Office` produce slugs `web-01` and `main-office`.
+- **Aggregate groups use the plural kind** (`hosts`, `apps`); per-resource groups
+  use the singular (`host`, `app`). This makes `S_hosts_admin` unambiguous even
+  if a host were named `admin` (that host would be `S_host_admin_admin`).
+- **The last segment is the level.** If it is `admin` or `access` it is a known
+  level; any other value is an **opaque capability** owned by a downstream app.
+- **Total length budget:** keep a group cn under ~120 chars; reject group
+  creation that would exceed it.
+- Groups are **`groupOfNames`** (RFC 2307bis) with **no `gidNumber`**. GIDs are
+  generated on the host by SSSD for only the groups that host imports (see §8).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Levels and opaque capabilities
+
+- **`admin`** — manage (create/update/delete/config) the resource.
+- **`access`** — use/read the resource.
+- **`<capability>`** — an arbitrary token the SSO does **not** interpret. The SSO
+  manages membership and exposes the group to the app; **the downstream app
+  defines and enforces what the capability means** (e.g. `emby_admin`,
+  `gitea_maintain`, `reboot`, `backup`).
+
+The directory recognizes `admin`, `access`, `super_admin`, and the meta groups.
+Everything else on a resource group is treated as an opaque capability group and
+passed through to consumers.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Permission resolution (inheritance)
+
+Define a user's **effective permission** on a resource by checking, from most
+specific to most general, whether they are a member of any applicable group. The
+rule: a higher group implies everything below it.
+
+### On host `H` at site `S`
+
+| Wanted | Granted if the user is a member of **any** of |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **admin** on `H` | `god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_hosts_admin` · `S_host_H_admin` |
+| **access** on `H` | (any admin rule above) · `S_hosts_access` · `S_host_H_access` |
+| **capability `C`** on `H` | `god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_hosts_C` · `S_host_H_C` |
+
+### On app `A` at site `S`
+
+Identical, with `app`/`apps` substituted for `host`/`hosts`.
+
+### Management console (SSO / Proxy / Jump-Host)
+
+Each console is registered as an **app** on its site, so console admin is:
+
+`god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_app_<console>_admin`
+
+### Pseudocode
+
+```
+def effective(resource, level_or_cap, site):
+    if user in "god_admin":                  return True
+    if user in f"{site}_super_admin":        return True
+    if level_or_cap in ("admin","access"):
+        agg = f"{site}_{resource.kind}s_{level_or_cap}"
+        if user in agg:                      return True
+    specific = f"{site}_{resource.kind}_{resource.slug}_{level_or_cap}"
+    if user in specific:                     return True
+    if level_or_cap == "access":             return effective(resource, "admin", site)
+    if level_or_cap == "admin":              return False          # access does not imply admin
+    return False
+```
+
+`everyone` / `S_everyone` are a special grantee: if a resource grants a group to
+`everyone` (or `S_everyone`), any authenticated user (at that site) passes.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Where groups live — the Directory, generated from adopted resources
+
+- There is **no standalone Groups page.** Group creation/management happens on an
+  **adopted resource** in the Directory.
+- When a host or app is **adopted** (promoted from Discovered Inventory to
+  managed), the directory auto-creates its `_admin` and `_access` groups (and
+  site aggregates if configured). Capability groups are created on demand.
+- Membership (add/remove users) and capability grants are managed on that
+  resource's modal.
+- Deleting a resource removes its per-resource groups.
+- The `S_super_admin`, `S_hosts_*`, `S_apps_*`, `S_everyone` site groups and the
+  global `god_admin`/`everyone` are managed at the site level (not on a single
+  host/app resource).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Multi-site isolation
+
+One LDAP tree can serve many sites ("Main Office", "Branch Office", "co-lo",
+"Mikes Homelab", …). Each site `S` has its own fully independent set of `S_*`
+groups behind its prefix. A `main-office_super_admin` or `main-office_hosts_admin`
+touches nothing in `branch-office_*` or `steves-homelab_*`. Only `god_admin` and
+`everyone` cross site boundaries.
+

+## 8. Unix/POSIX groups — mapped on the host, not in LDAP
+
+Directory groups are **`groupOfNames`** (RFC 2307bis) and carry **no `gidNumber`**.
+There are hundreds of them and only a handful matter on any given host, so we do
+**not** bloat LDAP with GIDs. Instead, each Linux host uses SSSD to import only the
+groups it cares about and map them to GIDs **on the fly** (algorithmic ID mapping).
+This keeps the directory clean and the per-host surface tiny.
+
+### SSSD — generate GIDs on the fly, import only what you need
+
+```ini
+[domain/example]
+id_provider = ldap
+auth_provider = ldap
+ldap_uri = ldaps://ldap.example
+ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
+
+# groupOfNames (RFC 2307bis) schema
+ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
+ldap_group_object_class = groupOfNames
+ldap_group_member = member
+
+# Map GIDs mathematically from the LDAP UUID — no gidNumber in LDAP
+ldap_id_mapping = true
+ldap_group_uuid = entryUUID
+
+# Import ONLY the groups this host needs (e.g. a naming convention or an OU)
+ldap_group_search_filter = (&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(cn=linux-*))
+```
+
+Key ideas:
+- `ldap_id_mapping = true` + `ldap_group_uuid = entryUUID` make SSSD derive a
+  stable GID for any group it imports, so **no `gidNumber` attribute is required**
+  in LDAP.
+- `ldap_group_search_filter` is the gatekeeper: SSSD imports only groups that
+  match, discarding the other hundreds. After changing the filter, clear the
+  cache (`sss_cache -E`; `rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/*`; restart sssd) and verify with
+  `getent group <cn>`.
+
+### What filter to use — the naming convention is the answer
+
+A host should import its **own** resource groups (plus any explicitly granted
+ones). Because the schema is predictable, `ldap-client` can generate the per-host
+`ldap_group_search_filter` from the enrolled host's identity, e.g. a host `web01`
+at site `main-office` imports:
+
+```
+(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(|(cn=main-office_host_web01_access)
+                               (cn=main-office_host_web01_admin)
+                               (cn=main-office_host_web01_sudo)))
+```
+
+So the operator (or ldap-client) selects a small allowlist of the host's `_access`
+/ `_admin` / capability groups to feed sudoers, SSH `AllowGroups`, and filesystem
+ACLs. **Only those groups are imported** — no GID bloat, no mass import.
+
+### Aliasing an LDAP group into a local group (e.g. `input`)
+
+SSSD cannot merge an LDAP group into a local group whose GID varies per host.
+Two host-side mechanisms cover it:
+
+- **pam_exec** — a script in the login stack adds the user to the local group for
+  the session:
+  ```sh
+  #!/bin/bash
+  if id -Gn "$PAM_USER" | grep -q "host_input"; then usermod -a -G input "$PAM_USER"; fi
+  ```
+  `session optional pam_exec.so /usr/local/bin/add_to_input.sh` in
+  `/etc/pam.d/common-session`.
+
+- **nss-groupmerge** — merge an LDAP group into a local group at NSS time
+  (`/etc/groupmerge.conf`: `input: host_input`, then `group: files sssd groupmerge`
+  in `/etc/nsswitch.conf`), so any service querying `input` sees the LDAP group's
+  members regardless of the local GID.
+
+### Meta groups
+
+`god_admin`, `everyone`, and `S_everyone` are NOT imported by hosts — they have
+implicit membership and are resolved by the directory only.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Downstream-app consumption guide
+
+A downstream app (Emby, Gitea, a custom service, a shell script) reads group
+membership from LDAP and interprets it as follows:
+
+1. **Discover the user's groups** — bind with the user's credentials (or use a
+   service account + `memberOf`). Groups are `groupOfNames` (member DN), so query
+   by the user's DN, e.g. `(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(member=<user_dn>))`, or use
+   the `memberOf` reverse attribute on the user's entry.
+2. **Match each group to a scope:**
+   - `god_admin` → the user is a global administrator.
+   - `{site}_super_admin` → site administrator for that site.
+   - `{site}_hosts_*` / `{site}_app_*` (aggregate) → applies to all hosts/apps at the site.
+   - `{site}_host_<host>_*` / `{site}_app_<app>_*` → applies to that one resource.
+   - `everyone` / `{site}_everyone` → the user is implicitly a member.
+3. **Interpret the last segment:**
+   - `admin` → full control of that resource.
+   - `access` → read/use.
+   - anything else → a capability **you** define; act on it or ignore it.
+4. A user with `{site}_host_web01_access` can reach `web01`; a user with
+   `{site}_host_web01_reboot` (if you define `reboot`) may reboot it; a user with
+   `{site}_app_emby_emby_admin` administers Emby.
+
+The app must **never** treat an unknown last segment as `admin` or `access`.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Migration from the legacy `app_*` groups
+
+The current global groups (`app_sso_admin`, `app_super_admin`,
+`app_sso_directory_admin`, `app_jump_admin`) are replaced by the new model:
+
+| Legacy | New |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `app_super_admin` | `god_admin` |
+| `app_sso_admin` | `S_app_sso_admin` (+ `S_super_admin` for site admins) |
+| `app_sso_directory_admin` | `S_app_sso_admin` |
+| `app_jump_admin` | `S_app_jump_admin` |
+
+During the transition the legacy groups may be kept as short-lived aliases that
+resolve to the same effective permission; once everything is moved, remove them.
+
+---
+
+## 11. The management consoles are apps
+
+The SSO, Proxy, and Jump-Host each register themselves as an app on their site and
+receive their auto-generated groups (`S_app_sso_admin`, `S_app_proxy_admin`,
+`S_app_jump_admin`, plus `_access`). Their admin UIs gate on
+`god_admin` · `S_super_admin` · `S_app_<console>_admin`. This keeps everything
+self-consistent: the SSO is "just another app."

+
+Every guest carries:
+
+- `interfaces[]` — one entry per NIC with its own `mac`, `ip`/`ips` and `name`.
+  The MAC and the address on it are read from the same source, so they cannot be
+  mismatched (an earlier version collected MACs and IPs into two flat lists and
+  zipped them by index, which attributed addresses to the wrong NIC on any
+  multi-NIC guest).
+- `macAddress` / `ip` — the primary NIC's values, preferring one that actually
+  has an address.
+- `vmid`, `node` and `sourceId` (`<node>/qemu/<vmid>` or `<node>/lxc/<vmid>`), so
+  a directory row traces back to the exact guest on the exact node.
+
+Interfaces belonging to something running *inside* a guest — `docker0`, `veth*`,
+`br-*`, VPN tunnels — are filtered out. They are not NICs of the host, and their
+172.x addresses would otherwise give the reconciler spurious matches.
+
+A stopped VM still reports its MAC (read from the VM config rather than the
+guest agent), and a DHCP-configured LXC gets its address from the running

-To enable replication, you must pass two environment variables to the `sso-manager` container:
+The container's entrypoint reads two environment variables to configure this
+-- `LDAP_SERVER_ID` (a unique integer for this node) and
+`LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS` (a space-separated list of every **other** node's
+LDAP URL) -- and, when both are set, automatically loads the `syncprov`
+module, enables `mirrormode`, and generates the necessary `syncrepl` blocks
+in `/etc/openldap/slapd.conf`.
 
-1. `LDAP_SERVER_ID`: A unique integer for this node (e.g., `1`, `2`, `3`). This MUST be unique across the cluster.
-2. `LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS`: A space-separated list of the LDAP URLs of all **other** nodes in the cluster.
+**If you're using `theta-suite`'s `setup.sh`, you don't set these by hand.**
+The master assigns each spoke a unique `LDAP_SERVER_ID` at join time (the
+same way it assigns a WireGuard mesh index), and `LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS` is
+derived automatically from every site's already-known HTTPS endpoint
+(`ldaps://<same-host>:636`) -- see `GET /api/site/ldap-peers` (spoke) and
+`GET /api/directory-admin/ldap-replication-config` (master), and

+# Multi-Site: Joining a Spoke to the Master Directory
+
+The Directory can be deployed across multiple sites. The **master** site holds
+single write authority for the shared catalog; **spoke** sites run a read-only
+copy for local latency and autonomy (see the root `MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md` for the
+full architecture). This page covers the server endpoints that make a spoke
+"join" an existing master.
+
+> Status: **server endpoints + UI + setup.sh wiring, live replication, coordinated promotion.** A fresh bring-up can adopt a master directory via the Directory UI or via `setup.env`; a joined spoke is read-only with live WAN health, stays in sync after joining (not just a one-time snapshot), and can be promoted to master with the old master demoted as part of the same action.
+
+## The flow
+
+1. On the **master**, an admin mints a **site join key** (`stj_…`, shown once,
+   stored hashed, revocable) — Directory → the Master Site modal → **Site Join Keys**.
+2. On the **spoke** (a fresh install), either:
+   - **UI**: Directory → the Master Site modal → **Join an Existing Site**, or
+   - **setup.sh**: set `CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_URL` + `CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_JOIN_KEY`
+     in `setup.env` before the first run.
+3. The spoke pulls the master's directory export (LDAP tree + resource
+   catalog + agent-signing key), imports it, and persists its own spoke role
+   (`isMaster: false`, `masterUrl`, `siteSlug`) in `/config/site.json`.
+4. If the spoke also knows its own reachable URL (`selfUrl` — `setup.sh` passes
+   `https://$CFG_SSO_HOST` automatically), it registers itself with the master
+   (`POST /api/site/spokes`) so the master can push live updates back to it
+   afterward — see **Live replication** below. Without `selfUrl` the join still
+   succeeds; the spoke just stays a one-time snapshot.
+
+Joining is allowed only on a **fresh install** (no users beyond the bootstrap
+admin, no enrolled agents) — the join endpoint enforces this, so a populated
+directory can never be merged into a master's.
+
+## Live replication (not a one-time snapshot)
+
+A registered spoke stays in sync: every successful catalog write on the
+master fires a fire-and-forget push (`utils/site_replicate.js`) at every
+registered spoke, concurrently — one unreachable spoke never blocks or delays
+delivery to another. The spoke's `POST /api/site/resync` handler (called by
+that push) re-runs the same export-pull-and-import logic used at join time,
+so there's exactly one tested code path for "make my catalog match the
+master's," not a separate diff-application mechanism.
+
+The agent-signing key travels the same path: `POST /api/site/export`
+best-effort includes it, and the spoke adopts it via `agent_keys.adopt()` on
+both join and every resync. Every site holding the same signing key means any
+site's `sso-manager-node` can validly sign a command for any agent enrolled
+at any other site — a deliberate tradeoff (see `MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md` §2)
+accepted for this deployment's small, trusted scale. Don't extend this
+pattern to a larger/adversarial-tenant deployment without revisiting it.
+
+## Coordinated master promotion
+
+`POST /api/directory-admin/site-promote` (`god_admin` only) promotes this
+node to master as **one coordinated action**, not a manual two-step
+demote-then-promote:
+
+1. If this node currently has a master on file, it mints a fresh join key and
+   calls that master's `POST /api/site/demote` (authenticated with the join
+   key this node already holds), handing over the new key so the demoted node
+   can keep talking to the new master afterward.
+2. This step is **best-effort** — an unreachable old master (the WAN-outage
+   scenario this whole control exists for) never blocks the local promotion.
+   The response's `handoff` field reports what happened
+   (`"previous master demoted"`, an HTTP failure, or "unreachable, promoted
+   locally anyway") so the operator can reconcile it manually if needed.
+3. Every known spoke gets a fire-and-forget `master-promoted` resync ping so
+   they pick up the new master on their next sync.
+
+The Master Site modal's **Promote to Master** button surfaces the `handoff`
+result in a toast so the operator sees immediately whether the old master was
+actually reached.

+| `POST` | `/api/directory-admin/site-promote` | Promote this node to master, coordinating demotion of the old one (`god_admin` session) |
+
+## Behavior after joining (spoke)
+
+- **Read-only**: directory-write requests (resources, edges, groups, secrets,
+  grants, driver actions, discovery merges) are rejected with `403` pointing at
+  the master. Writes must go to the master.
+- **WAN health**: `site-status` pings the master over the stored site join key
+  and reports `wanConnected`; the Master Site modal shows live Online/Offline.
+- **Role persists**: `isMaster`/`masterUrl`/`siteSlug` live in `/config/site.json`
+  (the env vars `IS_MASTER`/`MASTER_URL`/`SITE_SLUG` only seed the defaults), so
+  a restart never silently reverts a spoke to master.
+
+## Deployment (setup.sh)
+
+`setup.env` carries the intent so the join runs only on a **fresh** bring-up:
+
+```
+# Honored ONLY on first run; re-runs ignore it once ./config/ exists.
+CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_URL=https://sso.master.example.com
+CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_JOIN_KEY=stj_9f2e...
+```
+
+`setup.sh` runs `bootstrap/site-join.js` inside the sso-manager container after
+the bootstrap; it logs in as the admin and calls `/api/site/join`. A node that
+already joined reports "already a spoke" and setup continues (idempotent).
+
+## Security
+
+- Join keys are single-use-intent credentials: shown once, stored as a SHA-256
+  hash, revocable/expirable — the same model as agent join keys.
+- The export/ping endpoints return only the directory tree/catalog (no admin
+  secrets) and require a valid join key.
+- Join is admin-gated on the spoke, key-gated on the master, and fresh-install
+  gated on both sides.
+- The join key is stored on the spoke only so it can reach the master for WAN
+  health (and, in a later layer, write-proxy).
+- `pushToken` (the credential a spoke stores so it can recognize a legitimate
+  resync push from its master) is minted fresh per spoke registration and, by
+  design, kept in retrievable form on the master — unlike a join key, it's a
+  credential the master must keep *presenting*, not just verifying, so it
+  can't be one-way hashed. Compare `models/site_spoke.js`'s doc comment for
+  why that's the correct tradeoff, not an oversight.
+- Every site sharing one agent-signing key (see **Live replication** above)
+  means a compromised spoke — including the smallest, least-secured one — has
+  the same agent-command authority as the master. Accepted for this
+  deployment's scale; see `MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md` §2 before reusing this pattern
+  somewhere that assumption doesn't hold.
+
+## Not yet built
+
+- Traffic between sites (join/export/resync) still goes over the open
+  network path that already reaches the target — it does not route over the
+  WireGuard mesh `theta-gateway` can now establish (see `MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md`).
+- A no-inbound spoke (no public IP at all) still can't join — the mechanism
+  for a master to relay through the mesh to such a spoke is verified as
+  working, but nothing automates creating that route yet.
+- OpenBao secret replication covers only the agent-signing key; LDAP admin
+  creds, JWT secret, and other per-deployment secrets aren't synced.

 # Vault Secrets Management
 
+[← Back to Home](index.html)
+
 The Vault Secrets feature integrates with OpenBao to provide a secure key-value store for your environment. It allows you to store sensitive information like passwords, API keys, and credentials, ensuring they are encrypted and access-controlled.
 
-## Usage
+## Location & Access
 
-You can access the Vault UI from the application's top navigation bar. 
+- **External App Tokens**: Managed under **Configuration** (`/conf` -> **App Tokens** tab). Admins can mint and view periodic OpenBao app tokens scoped to `secret/apps/<name>/*`.
+- **Resource Secrets**: Managed under **Directory** (`/directory`) inside each resource's modal under the **Secrets** tab. Stored in OpenBao under `secret/data/resources/<slug>/conf`.
 
-### Creating Secrets
+## External App Tokens (Admin)
 
-1. Click on the **New Secret** button.
-2. Enter a **Secret Path**. This acts as the name/identifier of your secret (e.g., `db-credentials`).
-3. Enter the **Secret Data** in JSON format. For example:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "username": "admin",
-     "password": "supersecretpassword123"
-   }
-   ```
-4. Click **Save Secret**.
+The **App Tokens** tab in **Configuration** (`/conf`) mints a scoped OpenBao token for an **external application** or script so it can read its own configuration out of OpenBao.
 
-### Reading and Editing Secrets
+1. Enter an app **name** (e.g. `build-agent`) and click **Mint token**.
+2. A token is shown **once** — copy it into the external app now; it cannot be recovered later. The app uses it as the `X-Vault-Token` header against `secret/apps/<name>/*`.
+3. The **Active App Tokens** list shows every token created (metadata only — the token itself is never stored). sso-manager keeps each token alive by renewing it periodically.
 
-* To view a secret, click on its name in the **Secrets List**.
-* To update an existing secret, select it and click the **Edit** button. You can then modify the JSON data and save your changes.
+The token is strictly scoped to `secret/apps/<name>/*` (policy `app-<name>`), so a compromised token can't touch any other secret.
 
-### OpenBao Integration
+## Shared tab
 
-The secrets are stored in an OpenBao backend configured in development mode. The default KV (Key-Value) version 2 engine is mounted at `secret/`. The built-in UI uses the `/api/vault/secret/` API endpoints to interact with OpenBao.
+The **Shared** tab lets you share a secret with another user (or app) without copying the value around.
+
+1. **New** — give the secret a name (slug) and its JSON data. The owner has full read/write on `secret/shared/<uid>/<slug>`.
+2. Open a secret and use **Grants** to share it with a user or app; the grantee's OpenBao policy is edited immediately so the share takes effect with no token re-mint. Revoking a grant removes access at the ACL.
+3. The data itself is read through the normal Vault proxy using each user's own session, so OpenBao enforces read access per-request.
 
 ## API Access
 
-If you need to programmatically access the secrets, you can interact directly with the OpenBao API using the root token (in dev mode):
+To read your own secrets programmatically, call the `/api/vault` proxy with
+a [personal API token](concepts-api-tokens.html) — **not** a raw OpenBao
+token. The server authenticates the request, resolves your own scoped
+OpenBao access, and injects the real `X-Vault-Token` itself:
 
 ```bash
-# Example: Read a secret via the API
-curl -H "X-Vault-Token: root" -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-sso-token>" http://<your-sso-host>/api/vault/secret/data/<your-secret-path>
+# Example: Read a secret via the API (KV-v2, so the path includes /data/)
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sso_<id>_<secret>" \
+  https://<your-sso-host>/api/vault/secret/data/<your-secret-path>
 ```
+
+An **external app** reading its own config uses the scoped token minted for
+it on the **Apps** tab instead of a personal token — see *Apps tab (admin)*
+above for how that token is minted and what it's confined to.
+
+Using the OpenBao **root token** directly (bypassing the SSO entirely) is
