+## [v2.3.0] - 2026-08-10
+
+Rolls up **theta-directory v2.4.0**, **jump-host v2.1.0**, **theta-agent v2.1.2**. Live catalog replication and a real gateway-to-gateway WireGuard mesh land in the same pass — multi-site directory sync stops being a one-time snapshot, and site-to-site networking becomes real infrastructure instead of a documented-but-unbuilt design. See `docs/MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md` for the full architecture and an explicit TODO list of what's still open (Windows/macOS mDNS, routing directory traffic over the mesh, `theta-proxy` no-inbound relay automation).
+
+### theta-directory v2.4.0
+
+#### 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 `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 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 wired to `selfUrl`, which the join API already supported but the UI never sent; the promote button's success toast now reports the actual handoff result.
+
+#### Fixed
+- **`site-promote`'s god_admin check was dead on arrival** — it read `req.user.groups`, a field nothing in the codebase ever populates, so the check silently evaluated to an empty array on every request. Promotion returned 403 for every user, including a real god_admin, since it shipped in v2.0.0. Only surfaced by live two-container testing, 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.
+- **`GET /api/site/config` was returning live credentials** (`masterJoinKey`, `replicationPushToken`) directly to the browser on every admin session. Replaced with boolean derivatives.
+
+### jump-host v2.1.0
+
+#### Added
+- **Gateway-to-gateway WireGuard mesh** (`routes/mesh.js`) — real site-to-site tunnels between theta-gateway instances, distinct from the existing roaming-client/exit-node WireGuard feature. Join-token bootstrap, mesh-index addressing (172.24.\<idx\>.0/16 + 10.\<idx\>.0.0/16).
+- **In-kernel WireGuard with a userspace fallback** (`utils/wg_iface.js`) — prefers `ip link add type wireguard`, falls back to `wireguard-go` when the kernel module isn't available.
+- **mDNS local-discovery announcer** (`services/mdns_announce.js`) — advertises which public hostnames this site fronts so a `theta-agent` on the same LAN segment can skip the relay/WAN path.
+- **Mesh UI** (`/mesh`) — gateway identity, join-token minting, remote-join form, meshed-gateways table.
+
+Verified with real two-container tests: an actual encrypted WireGuard tunnel passing ICMP traffic end to end (0% loss), and the mDNS announce/discover/apply/revert cycle over real multicast. Two real bugs found and fixed: `wg set ... allowed-ips` doesn't add a kernel route (a real handshake completed with zero routing until `setPeer()` was fixed to add it); mDNS's default IPv6 query aborting the entire lookup after a valid IPv4 response had already arrived.
+
+### theta-agent v2.1.2
+
+#### Added
+- **Linux mDNS local-discovery** (`local_discovery.go`, `hosts_override.go`) — opt-in via `prefer_local_directory`; skips the relay/WAN path when a local `theta-gateway`/`theta-proxy` announces it fronts this agent's `server_url` host. Never touches TLS/certificate validation — only changes where the agent connects, never whether it trusts what answers.
+
+#### Fixed (found via live two-container testing over real multicast)
+- `mdns.Lookup()`'s default IPv6 query aborted the whole lookup — discarding an already-valid IPv4 response — when IPv6 wasn't available. Fixed by disabling IPv6 querying explicitly.
+- Hosts-file writes used write-tmp-then-rename; `/etc/hosts` is frequently a bind mount (every container runtime does this) and `rename()` onto one fails with `EBUSY`. Switched to truncate-and-rewrite in place.
+
+Windows/macOS local-discovery remain unbuilt — see `docs/AGENT_LOCAL_DISCOVERY_SPEC.md`.
+
+Also backfills v2.1.0/v2.1.1 changelog entries (Windows agent, WireGuard client, installer, CI) in theta-agent's own CHANGELOG.md, which were tagged and released earlier but never documented there.
+
+## [v2.2.0] - 2026-08-10
+
+Multi-site join is now end-to-end: theta-directory can adopt an existing
+master's directory as a read-only spoke (v2.3.0), and setup.sh wires it into a
+first-run bring-up.
+
+### theta-directory v2.3.0
+- **Master Site modal**: "Join an Existing Site" form (fresh installs only),
+  Site Join Keys manager (mint/revoke/list), live WAN Sync Health via
+  `POST /api/site/ping`.
+- **Spoke read-only**: directory writes (resources/edges/groups/secrets/grants/
+  driver actions/discovery merges) return 403 pointing at the master.
+- **Fresh-install guard**: `/api/site/join` refuses unless no users beyond the
+  bootstrap admin and no enrolled agents; `site-status` exposes `canJoin`.
+- (Server endpoints, join keys, persisted role shipped in theta-directory v2.2.0.)
+
+### theta-suite (this repo)
+- **First-run site join**: `setup.sh` step 5b runs `bootstrap/site-join.js`
+  (logs in as the admin, calls `/api/site/join`) when `setup.env` sets
+  `CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_URL` + `CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_JOIN_KEY`. Honored only on
+  first run (once `./config/` exists it is ignored), so a populated directory
+  can never be merged. Idempotent — an already-joined node reports "already a
+  spoke".
+- `setup.env.example` documents the two vars; the lint job (branch-protected
+  name "Syntax check bootstrap.js") now also `node --check`s `site-join.js`.
+
+## [v2.1.1] - 2026-08-10
+
+Fresh-install fixes for the v2.1.0 Windows rollout.
+
+### theta-agent v2.1.1
+- **Silent installs wrote an empty `server_url`.** `CurPageChanged` fires even when the wizard is walked programmatically in silent mode, so it read the (empty) edit boxes and clobbered the `/SERVER_URL` `/JOIN_KEY` command-line params. Now guarded with `WizardSilent()` — silent installs keep the params (this was also why the service exited at first connect and the Directory showed the agent as a placeholder version).
+- **Tray post-install launch had `skipifsilent`** — a silent install (the common path from the Directory's Windows command) never started the tray. Removed.
+- **`theta-agent update` 404'd** — it downloaded from the SSO `/resources` path, which no longer serves binaries (they are GitHub release artifacts). Pointed at `releases/latest/download/`.
+
+### theta-directory v2.1.1
+- **"Master Site" button error** (`app.modal.show is not a function`) — the multi-site status modal used the legacy `app.modal.show()` signature; now `app.modal.open({ title, bodyHtml, size })`.
+- **Agents with no discovery showed a fake `v2.0.0`** — hardcoded fallbacks now report `unknown`.
+
+## [v2.1.0] - 2026-08-10
+
+Rolls up **theta-agent v2.1.0** and **theta-directory v2.1.0**: the theta-agent
+Windows client is now a first-class citizen (Windows service, WireGuard mesh,
+IAM, tray, fully-offline installer) and the Directory can hand a Windows host
+the same one-command install it has always handed Linux.
+
+### theta-agent v2.1.0
+- **Windows agent** (`feat/windows-agent`): platform ops (shutdown.exe / sc.exe /
+  PowerShell / Get-WinEvent), Windows service wrapper (`install-service` starts it
+  immediately), session helper (lock/display/logout/staged self-update), signed
+  `wireguard_apply`/`wireguard_remove` + auto-VPN, IAM via local groups + OpenSSH
+  keys, tray icon fix (PNG→ICO), and the fully-offline Inno installer with a
+  wizard page (Theta Directory URL + join key + "open install-agent page").
+- **Release pipeline**: `.github/workflows/release.yml` builds every binary on
+  GitHub Actions and attaches them to the GitHub release as artifacts (with
+  optional Azure Trusted Signing); nothing binary is committed to the repo.
+  `install.sh` and the Directory modal download from `releases/latest/download/`.
+
+### theta-directory v2.1.0
+- **Windows install commands in the Install Agent modal.** PowerShell one-liners
+  for the join-key / pre-register / custom-config flows (download the offline
+  `setup.exe`, pass `/SERVER_URL`, `/JOIN_KEY`, `/AUTH_TOKEN`, `/PUBLIC_KEY` or
+  `/B64_CONFIG`).
+- **Dropped the committed binaries** from `nodejs/public/resources/theta-agent/`
+  (they are GitHub release artifacts now); the small `install.sh` bootstrap
+  script remains.
+
+## [v2.0.2] - 2026-08-09
+
+Rolls up **theta-directory v2.0.2**, **proxy v2.0.1**, **jump-host v2.0.1**. Unifies the GitHub Pages docs site: the SSO/Proxy/Jump Host pages, their nav labels, and each component's own README now consistently say Theta Directory / Theta Proxy / Theta Gateway, drop marketing sections ("Why this over the alternatives", "Get it", "Related projects") that don't apply to a suite component, remove every standalone/bare-metal install path, and link to `theta42.github.io/theta-suite/...` instead of the old per-repo Pages sites.
+
+### theta-directory v2.0.2
+- **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.
+- **Docs site (`docs/sso/`)**: full rewrite of the landing page — dropped "Why this over the alternatives" / "Get it" / "Related projects", refreshed all screenshots, added the two agent screenshots, and swept "SSO Manager" → "Theta Directory" across every sub-page (configuration, OAuth, LDAP, directory, agents, replication, vault, concepts-*).
+
+### proxy v2.0.1
+- Finishes the pending v2.0.0 Docker-only rewrite (README's Quick start already trimmed to one Docker Compose path via Theta Suite).
+- Removed "Why this over the alternatives"; trimmed Requirements to actual Docker-host requirements (was still listing bare-metal items: root access, directly-installed OpenResty/Redis).
+- Fixed stale links to the old per-repo GitHub Pages site; synced `package-lock.json`'s version (missed by the earlier 2.0.0 bump commit).
+- Docs site (`docs/proxy/`): renamed to Theta Proxy, dropped the same three sections, refreshed screenshots, relative links within the unified site. Deleted a stale `docs/proxy/README.md` meta-doc left over from when this repo had its own separate Pages site (wrong live URL, referenced a deleted `installation.md`).
+
+### jump-host v2.0.1
+- Rebranded docs to Theta Gateway (matches the repo's own README/package.json naming).
+- Removed the "Standalone Docker" and "Bare metal" install paths, which contradicted the Deployment section's own "exclusively via Docker Compose within Theta Suite" claim.
+- Fixed stale links to the old per-repo GitHub Pages sites.
+- Docs site (`docs/jump-host/`): same section removal, added a WireGuard mesh-routing feature bullet, refreshed screenshots, fixed three more stale absolute links in `architecture.md`. Deleted the same kind of stale `docs/jump-host/README.md` meta-doc.
+
+## [v2.0.4] - 2026-08-10
+
+Rolls up **theta-directory v2.0.4**.
+
+### Changed
+- **`Dockerfile.openldap` no longer compiles OpenLDAP from source.** Extracted the from-source compile (nestgroup overlay, ~5 min, dependent on `git.openldap.org` being reachable — it 502'd twice tonight, blocking two PRs) into its own image, `ghcr.io/theta42/openldap-nestgroup:<pinned commit>`, published by a new workflow whenever the pin changes. `Dockerfile.openldap`'s `ldapbuild` stage now just pulls it. Cut CI's "Build LDAP test image" step from ~5-6 minutes to ~1.5 minutes total per matrix run; every local build of this Dockerfile gets the same speedup.
+
+## [v2.0.3] - 2026-08-09
+
+Rolls up **theta-directory v2.0.3**.
+
+### 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` — 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).
+
+### Chore
+- **Untracked `nodejs/config/inventory.sqlite`** in theta-directory — the app's default runtime DB, not a fixture; had been committed by mistake across 13 prior releases.
+
+## [v2.0.2] - 2026-08-09
+
+Rolls up **theta-directory v2.0.2**, **proxy v2.0.1**, **jump-host v2.0.1**. Unifies the GitHub Pages docs site: the SSO/Proxy/Jump Host pages, their nav labels, and each component's own README now consistently say Theta Directory / Theta Proxy / Theta Gateway, drop marketing sections ("Why this over the alternatives", "Get it", "Related projects") that don't apply to a suite component, remove every standalone/bare-metal install path, and link to `theta42.github.io/theta-suite/...` instead of the old per-repo Pages sites.

+
+## [v2.0.1] - 2026-08-09
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v2.0.1** and **theta-agent v2.0.1**.
+
+### Added
+- **Non-Root Secrets Group Access**: Set up `theta-secrets` and `theta` system groups in `setup.sh` and set permission flags to `0750` on `/etc/theta42` and `0640` on `agent.yml` to allow non-root users in the group to request secrets.
+- **Autostart Tray Icon Companion**: Configured `/etc/xdg/autostart/theta-agent-tray.desktop` in `setup.sh` to automatically launch the desktop tray icon companion.
+- **OpenBao / OpenBoa Resource Exclusion**: Skipped internal secret/renewer services from populating the directory resources catalogue.
+- **Full Docker Integration Tests**: Rewrote the integration test runner (`test-integration.sh`) to support full env-mode LDAP seeding (`seed-test-user.sh`) and pass test environment configs/parameters reliably inside Docker containers.
+
+## [v2.0.0] - 2026-08-09
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v2.0.0**, **theta-agent v2.0.0**, **jump-host v2.0.0**.
+
+### Added
+- **Theta Gateway (\`jump-host\` v2.0.0)**: WireGuard mesh exit node management, QR code profiles, \`.conf\` file downloads, and automatic X25519 keypair bootstrap.
+- **Theta Agent (v2.0.0)**: System tray status companion badge, systemd logind desktop session detection, and real-time CPU / disk / process telemetry stream.
+- **SSO Directory (\`sso-manager-node\` v2.0.0)**: Live telemetry dashboard cards, desktop session power controls (lock, display off, logout, sleep), and site reconciler.
+
+## [v1.48.0] - 2026-08-08
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v1.33.0**, **theta-agent v1.8.0**, **proxy v1.35.1**, **jump-host v1.19.1**.
+
+### Added
+- **Directory Key Badges & Secret Search/Filter.** Added key badges `🔑 Secret` to resources with stored OpenBao secrets, secret key search filtering, and a `With Secrets` tree toggle.
+- **Discovered Inventory Merge & Ignore Actions.** Supported merging discovered network devices into existing Directory resources and ignoring unmanaged entries.
+- **Kind-Specific Resource Creation Modals.** Added dedicated `+ Add Site`, Host, and Service creation workflows.
+- **Optional Child Secret Key Name on Inheritance.** Made key name optional when inheriting parent secrets — defaulting to the original parent secret key name if left blank.
+- **Agent Tab Versioning, Logged Users & Desktop Operations.** Added Agent Version badge (`v1.8.0`), physical partitions table, active logged-in sessions list (`who` / `host.Users()`), and desktop session/power controls (Lock, Display Off, Log Out, Sleep Host).
+
+## [v1.47.0] - 2026-08-08
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v1.32.0**, **theta-agent v1.7.0**, **proxy v1.35.1**, **jump-host v1.19.1**.
+
+### Added
+- **Subtype Management & Metrics Drivers Architecture.** Implemented a 4-tier 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.
+- **Explicit Secret Inheritance Mode.** Enforced strict upward ancestor lineage (`Resource -> Host -> Cluster -> Site`) for secret inheritance with explicit pointer resolution (`INHERIT:<parentSlug>:<parentKey>`).
+- **Cross-Platform Theta Agent Binaries.** Compiled native zero-dependency Go binaries for **Linux (amd64, arm64, armv7)**, **Windows (amd64, arm64)**, and **macOS (Intel, Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4)**.
+- **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 Support.** Supported multiple secret keys per resource in OpenBao `secret/data/resources/<slug>/conf` with per-key merging and deletion.
+- **Automated Integration Testing.** Fixed `test-integration.sh` to use modern `docker compose` syntax and added driver test coverage.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Ancestry Lineage Querying.** Fixed `Resource.findAllAncestors(id)` memory filtering over `ResourceEdge.list()` to resolve deep ancestor lineage across all graph depths.
+- **Dockerfile Driver Staging.** Added `COPY nodejs/drivers ./drivers` to `Dockerfile.openldap` and `Dockerfile.test-runner` for clean container execution.
+
+## [v1.46.0] - 2026-08-07
+
+Rolls up **theta-agent v1.6.0**, **sso-manager-node v1.31.0**, **jump-host v1.19.1**.
+
+### Added
+- **On-demand CLI Secret Fetching.** `theta-agent get-secret <key>` and `theta-agent get-secrets [--env|--json]` for dynamic secret resolution without plaintext files on disk.
+- **Resource Secrets Engine & Zero-View Security.** OpenBao KV-v2 encrypted secrets for directory resources with strict regex validation (`^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$`), password generator, and multi-level hierarchy secret inheritance.
+- **OpenBao `sso-broker` Policy.** Granted `secret/data/resources/*` and `secret/metadata/resources/*` permissions to `sso-broker`.
+- **Zero-Trust LDAP WebSocket Tunnel.** Auto-starts local `/run/theta/ldap.sock` and `127.0.0.1:3890` loopback listeners on managed nodes.
+- **Agent Self-Update & Service Control.** Added `theta-agent update` and `theta-agent reinitialize` CLI commands with automated service restarts (`sssd`, `sshd`).
+
+## [v1.45.0] - 2026-08-06
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v1.30.2**, **proxy v1.35.1**, **jump-host v1.19.1**.

+**`host_theta-proxy` / `host_theta-jump` were synthetic `kind: 'host'` resources that never should have existed.** "Host" means a real, independently-existing machine — something with its own OS and sshd. A Docker container backing one of this stack's own services is never that: it has no sshd, no independent network identity. Proxy and jump-host are two of this stack's five containers, running on the one real stack host — not machines of their own.
+
+A 2026-08-05 change gave them their own `host` resources to fix their services being parented to the stack host, solving that parenting problem with the wrong tool — the correct one, `kind: 'container'`, already existed one layer below `service` (same as `sso-manager` and `openbao` already used correctly). Beyond being conceptually wrong, this had a real functional consequence: jump-host resolves its "hosts you can reach" list from exactly `kind: host` resources, so it could offer `theta-proxy`/`theta-jump` as SSH targets — machines that don't exist and can't be reached.
+
+Fixed: `bootstrap.js` no longer creates the synthetic hosts. Proxy's and jump-host's services parent directly onto the stack host, like every other component. On an install seeded between 2026-08-05 and this release, the fix self-heals on the next `./setup.sh` run — existing children are re-parented onto the real host and the now-empty synthetic host resources are removed automatically; a fresh install never creates them.
+
+### Docs
+
+- `README.md`'s architecture diagram and "Repo layout" section described a stale 2-service (sso-manager + proxy) architecture from before jump-host and OpenBao existed — updated to match the (already-accurate) `docs/architecture.md`, and listed only 2 of 5 git submodules — added the rest.
+- `docs/fixtures.md` (new) — the canonical demo-fixtures reference: exact users/groups/hosts for a consistent homelab/small-business demo dataset, so future screenshot passes only need to re-capture pages whose UI actually changed.
+- `docs/screenshots.md` (new) — the screenshot-capture workflow, including two gotchas hit while building it: a stale-browser-cache issue with `app.modal.js`, and never touching a login form that autofills a real saved credential.
+- `bootstrap/seed-demo-users.sh` (new) — idempotent script seeding the fixtures.md user/group list via direct LDAP writes matching the app's own schema.
+
+## [v1.44.0] - 2026-08-06
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v1.30.1**.
+
+### sso-manager-node v1.30.1
+
+**Test Email and Test SMS could never have worked, and all SMS delivery was broken.**
+
+- Test Email threw `Email.send is not a function`: `models/email.js` exports `{Mail}`, and the handler required the module and called `.send` on it directly.
+- Test SMS threw `Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "...`: it POSTed to `https://api.voip.ms/v1.0/sms/send`, an endpoint that does not exist. VoIP.ms's REST API is a GET against `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.
+- **Every SMS was broken, not just the test.** `models/sms.js` called `PluginInstance.find({…})`, but the ORM has no `find` — the query method is `list({where})`. It threw 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. A test that reimplements delivery proves nothing about whether real delivery works — which is how two independently broken paths went unnoticed. Failures report as `400` with the underlying reason instead of an opaque `500`.
+- New guard suite fails the build on any call to a non-existent ORM static, on requiring `models/email` without destructuring `{Mail}`, and on any reference to the bogus `api.voip.ms` host.
+
+**Install Agent offers the join-key flow.** v1.43.0 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. It now leads with "Join key" — mint one, copy a single install command, and the host enrolls itself.
+
+### Release note
+
+Tagged with GitHub Actions in a major outage. CI could not run (every job failed at *Set up job* with `Failed to resolve action download info: Service Unavailable`, before reaching any test). Verified locally instead, on the exact merged commit: the full Docker suite — same LDAP + Redis service containers CI uses — passed **299/299**, plus proxy 176/176, jump-host 43/43 and theta-agent green. The Node 18/20/22 matrix was not exercised.
+
+## [v1.43.0] - 2026-08-06
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v1.30.0**, **theta-agent v1.5.1**, **proxy v1.35.0**. Fixes what a fresh `setup.sh` install actually produced under v1.42.0.
+
+> **No manual step to re-enroll agents.** v1.42.0 required an admin to pre-register every host. `setup.sh` now mints a **join key** and the agent enrolls itself, so installing the agent is once again all it takes to add a host.
+
+### Fixed — theta-suite orchestration
+
+- **The stack's own theta-agent could never connect.** `setup.sh` generated a random token locally and wrote it into `agent.yml`. The SSO only accepts credentials it issued, so that token was rejected on every attempt and the agent looped on `close 4001: Unauthorized` forever. It now writes a join key the SSO minted; the agent exchanges it for its own token and the SSO's public key on first connect and rewrites its own config.
+- **`agent.yml` was left holding literal placeholders.** The `REPLACE_WITH_ISSUED_AGENT_TOKEN` / `REPLACE_WITH_SSO_PUBLIC_KEY` strings were shipped as-is when the seds no longer matched the renamed fields, so the file on a fresh install contained no credential at all. The file is also `chmod 600` now that it holds one.
+- **A fresh install presented its own five containers as unmanaged discoveries** (`theta-proxy`, `theta-jump`, `sso-manager`, `bao-renewer`, `openbao`). The compose project name is now passed to the Docker discovery plugin, which recognises them as ours and links each to the service it implements.
+- **`openbao` and `bao-renewer` had no directory entries**, so their containers had nothing to attach to and appeared as parentless roots. Both are seeded as services now — they are part of what the stack deploys and belong in the directory like every other component.
+
+### Added
+
+- The bootstrap mints a theta-agent join key and hands it to `setup.sh` (`AGENT_JOIN_KEY`), reusing the `setup`-labelled key across runs.
+
+---
+
+### sso-manager-node v1.30.0
+
+**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 to pin. The join key is a bootstrap credential, never the host's identity — one key stays convenient without becoming a fleet-wide skeleton key, every host remains individually revocable, and revoking a key stops new hosts joining without touching enrolled ones.
+
+**Collapsing the Directory tree did nothing.** `applyTreeCollapse` found the caret with `.tree-caret i` and returned early when absent — Font Awesome's SVG-with-JS mode rewrites `<i>` to `<svg>`, so that selector matched nothing and the early return skipped setting `hideBelowDepth`, meaning no row was ever hidden. State now lives on the caret button, rotated by CSS.
+
+**Discovery Plugins.** The delete button called `deleteDiscoveryPlugin()`, which was never defined. The pane also had no `.actionMessage`, and confirmations render into one — without it the promise never settles, so an awaited confirmation hangs forever and the gated action silently never happens. Instances can now be edited (secrets shown blank rather than prefilled with the mask).
+
+**Discovery.** Docker container slugs came from the container id, which changes on recreate, so every deploy minted a new resource and orphaned the old one; they now derive from compose project + service.
+
+**Docs.** `/docs/discovery` 404'd; new `docs/discovery.md`. The `agents` slug pointed at `plugins.md`, leaving `docs/agents.md` unreachable in-app.
+
+### theta-agent v1.5.1
+
+- `join_key` config field, presented while `auth_token` is empty. The agent persists the issued token + public key into its own `agent.yml` — line-based, so comments, capabilities and formatting survive — and blanks the join key.
+- Sends `?hostname=` so a self-enrolling host is named after itself; refuses to connect with no credential rather than presenting an empty one.
+- `install.sh --join-key`.
+- **v1.5.1 rebuilds the prebuilt `theta-agent-linux-amd64`.** `setup.sh` installs that committed binary rather than building from source, and the v1.5.0 one predated join-key support — it would have received a `join_key` it did not understand. Same trap as the v1.3.0 heartbeat fix.
+
+### proxy v1.35.0
+
+- Permission entries can be **edited**; previously only Delete existed, so changing a role meant delete-and-re-add. Because a permission's id is derived from (subjectType, subject, scope, domain), changing any of those replaces the record — the endpoint creates the new grant and removes the superseded one in that order, so an edit can never leave the old grant conferring access.
+
+## [v1.42.0] - 2026-08-05
+
+Rolls up **sso-manager-node v1.29.0**, **theta-agent v1.4.0**, **proxy v1.34.0** and **jump-host v1.19.0**.
+
+> **Breaking — re-enroll your theta-agents.** The SSO now rejects agent tokens it
+> did not issue. Any agent installed before this release carries a token
+> generated in the browser that the server never recorded, and will be refused
+> with close code `4001` until re-enrolled from **Directory → Install Agent**.
+>
+> **Re-run `./setup.sh`.** The `sso-broker` OpenBao policy needs the new
+> `secret/agent/*` grant, or the SSO cannot persist its agent signing key and
+> will refuse every high-risk agent command.
+
+### Fixed — theta-suite orchestration
+
+- **Per-host SSO returned `400 redirect_uri is not registered for this client`.** The bootstrap registered only the proxy's own management callback (`https://<proxy-host>/api/auth/oidc/callback`), but per-host SSO calls back to `https://<protected-host>/__proxy_auth/callback` — a different URL for every host the proxy fronts, all against that one OAuth client. It now also registers `https://**.<domain>/__proxy_auth/callback` and the bare apex, and `ensureRedirectUris()` backfills them onto an existing client so upgraded stacks are fixed too, not just fresh installs. (The SSO's wildcard matcher already supported this; nothing was ever registered to use it.)
+- **Seeded services were parented to the wrong host.** `theta-proxy` and `theta-jump` were created as host resources and then left childless, while the Proxy, OpenResty Edge and SSH Jump Host services hung off the stack host instead. They now parent to the host that runs them. `reparent()` corrects existing installs on the next run, and only when the current parent is exactly the one the old code set — a layout an operator arranged deliberately is left alone.
+- The directory-edge fetch added for re-parenting is tolerated separately from the resource list, so losing it can't skip seeding the resources themselves.
+
+### Added — theta-suite orchestration
+
+- **The proxy gets a read-only SSO API token.** Minted by the bootstrap and written into `proxy-secrets.js` (before the OpenBao snapshot, so the running proxy actually receives it), backing the per-host SSO group autocomplete. Idempotent: only mints when `sso.apiToken` is still empty.
+- `setup.sh` writes an `sso: { url, apiToken }` block into the generated `proxy-secrets.js`.
+- The `sso-broker` OpenBao policy grants `secret/agent/*` for the persistent theta-agent signing key.
+- `docs/secrets.md` documents the signing key, why it must be stable, and what happens when the grant is missing.
+
+---
+
+### sso-manager-node v1.29.0
+
+**Security — the theta-agent channel authenticated nothing.** `/api/agent/ws` accepted any token string; there was no agent registry, because tokens were generated in the *browser* and never recorded server-side. Anyone who 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 they guessed.
+
+- 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/revoked → close `4001`, audited.
+- `POST /api/agent/enroll` mints the token server-side and returns it once; only its hash is stored. Rotate/revoke/delete drop the live socket immediately (`4004`/`4003`).
+- Commands are addressed by agent **id**, never by token.
+- The Ed25519 signing key was generated in the `AgentManager` constructor, so it changed on every restart and the `public_key` pinned in an agent's `agent.yml` stopped matching. It now lives in OpenBao at `secret/agent/signing-key`; if it can't be loaded the SSO refuses high-risk commands rather than signing with a key no agent has seen.
+- Enroll/update/rotate/revoke/delete, every command, and every rejected connection are audited with the acting user.
+
+**Directory & agents.** Agents bind to a host resource instead of being matched by hostname; a bound agent's discovery is written onto that resource (`discovery_sources: ["theta-agent"]`) — previously the one source running *on* the host contributed nothing. Enrollments survive restarts, so "installed but offline" (red) is now distinguishable from "no agent" (grey). The Install Agent modal enrolls first and emits `--public-key`, which was never written into `agent.yml` before.
+
+**Directory tree.** Collapsible, with per-browser persisted state; an active search overrides collapse so matches inside folded subtrees aren't hidden.
+
+**Discovery — found by running against a live 3-node Proxmox cluster.**
+
+- MACs and IPs were collected into two flat lists and zipped by index, attributing addresses to the wrong NIC on multi-NIC guests. NICs are now keyed by MAC.
+- A Proxmox endpoint resource now parents its nodes (one endpoint = one subtree), carrying no IP — giving it the address it's reached at made the reconciler merge it with the node answering there, producing a resource that was **its own parent**. Self-edges and cycle-closing edges are refused.
+- Hosts were named after their MAC address, because `bestName` preferred the longer string. Names are ranked hostname > IP > MAC.
+- `isIp` never matched anything (`\\.` in a regex literal matches a backslash, not a dot).
+- Guests carry `sourceId`/`node`/`vmid`/`macAddress`; container and overlay interfaces (`docker0`, `veth*`) are filtered out; stopped VMs still report a MAC; DHCP LXCs get an address; nodes report their own IP/MAC; offline nodes are recorded rather than skipped.
+- Cross-kind merges prevented; the inventory is read once per run instead of once per incoming resource.
+
+**Other.** The Profile page's API Tokens card is no longer wider than every other card (it sat outside the page container). `Dockerfile.test-runner` never copied `nodejs/plugins`, so every plugin test suite had been failing in CI as "Cannot find module" — suites 27 → 29, 296 tests passing.
+
+### theta-agent v1.4.0 (protocol v1.2.0)
+
+- **Fail-closed verification.** `verifySignature` returned `true` when no `public_key` was configured — and the installer never wrote one, so a default install executed `reboot`, `configure_ldap`, `arbitrary_bash` and `update_binary` **unverified**.
+- **Canonicalization disagreed with the server.** Go's `encoding/json` escapes `<`, `>` and `&`; `JSON.stringify` does not. Any payload containing them failed verification — for `arbitrary_bash` that is most real scripts (`>` redirection, `&&`). Now uses `SetEscapeHTML(false)`.
+- Handles the SSO's enrollment close codes and backs off 5 minutes instead of retrying a dead credential every 5 seconds forever.
+- The connect log no longer prints the URL, which carried `?token=`.
+- `install.sh --public-key`, and a loud warning when none is configured.
+
+### proxy v1.34.0
+
+- The per-host SSO **Allowed groups** field autocompletes from the SSO directory's groups. It previously suggested only local groups — the one set of values that can never match, since the allow-list is checked against the SSO's `groups` claim. New `conf.sso` block; degrades silently when unset.
+- Authenticates with `Authorization: Bearer`, not the `auth-token` header.
+
+### jump-host v1.19.0
+
+- **Only catalog hosts are jump targets.** The filter treated a missing `managed` flag as permission, so unpromoted discovery results — Proxmox guests, UniFi clients — appeared in the TUI picker and were accepted by the username grammar. It now mirrors the SSO Directory's own rule.
+
+## [v1.41.0] - 2026-08-05
+
+### Fixed
+- **The Local Docker daemon discovery plugin no longer errors** — the sso-manager container had no access to the host docker socket, so the seeded `docker-local` plugin (socketPath `/var/run/docker.sock`) failed with `ENOENT` and showed "Last run: error". `docker-compose.yml` now mounts `/var/run/docker.sock` into the container. Recreate the container (`docker compose up -d sso-manager`) and hit "Run now" on the plugin.
+- **theta-agent ships the rebuilt binary with the heartbeat fix** (v1.3.1, gitlink `51750d0`) — the prebuilt `theta-agent-linux-amd64` predated the v1.3.0 `heartbeat_ack` fix, so the installed agent still logged "Unknown command type: heartbeat_ack". Now rebuilt + tested.
+
+## [v1.40.0] - 2026-08-05
+
+### Fixed
+- **No more spurious "Invalid Credentials, login failed" during LDAP enrollment** (ldap-client v1.25.0, gitlink `68fcdb5`) — `index.sh` self-registered the host in the Directory when `sso_token` was *declared but empty* (it checked `[[ -v ]]`), POSTing an empty Bearer token and getting a misleading `LDAPLoginFailed`. It now only registers with a real token; the stack host (already seeded by the bootstrap) skips registration.
+- **The `cn=ldapclient` service account now shows in the SSO Users UI** — it was created as a bare `organizationalRole` (invisible to the `posixAccount` user filter) and never joined `app_sso_service_account`, so it never appeared as a service account. The bootstrap now creates it as a `posixAccount` (uid 10001, above the regular-user reserved floor) and adds it to `app_sso_service_account`; for an existing account it best-effort adds the `posixAccount` shape (auxiliary, so it can't conflict with the structural `organizationalRole`) + the group membership.
+
+## [v1.39.0] - 2026-08-05
+
+### Fixed
+- **Plain LDAP (389) now reachable from the host** — `docker-compose.yml` published only LDAPS (636); plain LDAP (389) was deliberately not mapped, so the stack host's own enrollment (`setup.sh` → ldap-client, which configures sssd against `ldap://localhost:389` and `ldaps://localhost:636`) could not reach the directory over loopback. Both 389 and 636 are now published to the host (bind 0.0.0.0; `LDAP_BIND`/`LDAPS_BIND=127.0.0.1` to lock to the host only).
+
+## [v1.38.0] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **LDAP enrollment no longer reaches for the public domain** — `setup.sh` generated `ldap.vars` with `ldap_host` defaulting to the public SSO host (`sso.<domain>`), which the NAT/firewall blocks on the LDAP ports (389/636). It now defaults to `localhost` (the LDAP server is co-located on the stack host; `ldap_tls_reqcert=never` makes this safe), overridable with `CFG_LDAPS_HOST` for an internal hostname/IP.
+- **SSH access groups match the SSO group model** (ldap-client v1.24.0) — the generated `sssd.conf` access filter and `ldap-ssh-key.sh` referenced the legacy names (`<location>_access`, `app_super_admin`); they now use `site_<location>_hosts_access` (all-hosts aggregate), `site_<location>_host_<hostname>_access`, and `god_admin`. GROUPS.md §8's example updated to match.
+
+## [v1.37.0] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Changed
+- **Group naming corrected to match docs/GROUPS.md** — per-resource groups are `{site}_{kind}_{name}_{level}` (kind always present; a host `host_theta-env` → `site_local_host_theta-env_access`, a service → `site_local_app_sso-manager_access`). The spec's §3 text was updated to state this explicitly.
+- **Roll up sso v1.27.0** — group names match the docs, a site carries only god + site-wide groups, duplicate group links removed, `/api/agent/*` no longer 404s, shared-secrets POST/GET fixed, Vault Apps tab lists minted tokens, discovery promote + plugin run logs fixed. See the [sso changelog](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+## [v1.36.1] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **`setup.sh` no longer aborts with `CFG_BASE_DN: unbound variable`** — the ldap-client `ldap.vars` generation read the CFG_* first-run vars, which `ensure_config` only derives once (it returns early on a re-run once `sso-secrets.js` exists). It now reads the real values from the operator-owned `./config/sso-secrets.js` when the CFG_* vars are unset, so LDAP enrollment works on re-runs too. The generated `ldap_access_groups` now references `god_admin` (the legacy `app_super_admin` is gone).
+- **Roll up sso v1.26.1** — drops the legacy `app_super_admin`: `SUPER_ADMIN_GROUP` is now `god_admin` (nested into every resource's `_admin` group), and `docker-entrypoint.sh` no longer seeds/nests `app_super_admin`. See the [sso changelog](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+## [v1.36.0] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Added
+- **`god_admin` seeded + site groups auto-provisioned** (sso v1.26.0) — `god_admin` exists from first boot; every site gets `{site}_super_admin`, `{site}_hosts_*`/`{site}_apps_*` aggregates and `{site}_everyone`; per-resource groups (`{site}_{slug}_{level}`) nest into the site aggregates (the inheritance lattice now exists in LDAP, not just the resolver). See the sso changelog for the full group-model completeness + server-side naming enforcement + Directory god_admin management.
+- **Docker discovery plugin configured out of the box** — the bootstrap seeds a `docker-local` plugin instance pointed at `/var/run/docker.sock`, so a fresh stack discovers its own containers into the Directory immediately (idempotent; an operator-created instance is left alone).
+
+### Fixed
+- **ldap-client enrollment no longer fails** — `setup.sh` was calling `ldap-client/index.sh`, which refuses to run without a gitignored `ldap.vars` that nothing ever created (the "ldap.vars file not found!" + "enrollment failed" you saw). It now generates `ldap-client/ldap.vars` from the stack's own config (LDAPS host, base DN, `cn=ldapclient` bind + service password, SSO URL, site name) before enrolling; an operator-provided `ldap.vars` is always kept.
+- **theta-agent no longer logs `Unknown command type: heartbeat_ack`** every minute — the server's ack of the agent's own heartbeat is now silently ignored instead of falling through to the unknown-command handler (which also answered with a spurious error).
+
+### Changed
+- **Roll up sso v1.26.0 + theta-agent v1.3.0** — gitlinks point at the version-tagged commits for both submodules (sso-manager-node → 8a9de94, theta-agent → 52379c2). Full changelogs: [sso](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md), [theta-agent](https://github.com/theta42/theta-agent/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+## [v1.35.18] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Changed
+- **Sync proxy + jump-host gitlinks to their version-tagged commits** — proxy v1.33.0 and jump-host v1.18.0 bumped their package.json to match their tags; this release picks up those corrected gitlinks so a fresh deploy reports the matching versions.
+
+## [v1.35.17] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Added
+- **Group & Permission Model spec** — canonical documentation of the hierarchical group schema (`god_admin`, `{site}_super_admin`, per-site/per-resource host+app `admin`/`access`/`<capability>` groups, meta `everyone`/`{site}_everyone`), the inheritance resolver, Directory-only group management, multi-site isolation, host-side SSSD GID mapping (groups are `groupOfNames`, no `gidNumber`), downstream-app consumption, and migration from the legacy `app_*` groups. See [GROUPS.md](GROUPS.html).
+- **sso v1.25.0** — the resolver + schema implemented in the SSO (see its changelog); the standalone Groups page removed.
+
+## [v1.35.16] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Added
+- **theta-proxy + theta-jump as first-class managed host resources** — the bootstrap now seeds them as managed `host`-kind resources in the Directory (in addition to the existing stack host and its service entries), so a fresh install shows them as hosts.
+
+## [v1.35.15] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **theta-agent re-install failed with "Text file busy"** — setup.sh copied the prebuilt binary over a running agent service, which cp refuses. It now stops the service before copying.
+
+## [v1.35.14] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **The recurring `/vault` 403 "permission denied" is actually dead this time — it was never a policy problem.** sso's `/api/vault` proxy declared its request hook with http-proxy-middleware **v3** syntax (`on: { proxyReq }`) while the app installs HPM **v2**, which silently ignores the unknown key — so `X-Vault-Token` was never injected and every vault call reached OpenBao unauthenticated. All the policy work of v1.35.10/v1.31.1 was correct and is unchanged; the requests just never carried a token. Ships as **sso v1.23.0** (see its changelog for the companion `fixRequestBody` header-ordering fix and the initORM schema heal that unbreaks the plugin scheduler on upgraded databases).
+
+### Added
+- **OpenBao token lifecycle — nothing expires by surprise anymore.**
+  - New **`theta-svc` token role** (periodic 768h): `SSO/PROXY/JUMP_VAULT_TOKEN` are now minted through it instead of as plain orphan tokens with a hard ~32-day death date. `ensure_token` renews periodic tokens on every `setup.sh` re-run and detects, revokes, and re-mints valid-but-non-periodic tokens from older installs (detection is the token's `role` — OpenBao token lookup does not expose a `period` field).
+  - New **`bao-renewer` sidecar** (docker-compose): renews the three service tokens every 12h while the stack runs, logging each result. Recreated on every `setup.sh` run so it always holds the current tokens.
+  - New **`sso-app` token role** (periodic 768h): external-app tokens minted from the vault UI go through it instead of the broker's 24h role, and sso now stores each app token's *accessor* and auto-renews it (boot + every 6h) — a downstream app's credential stays valid as long as sso runs, with no renewal code in the downstream app.
+  - `sso-broker` policy gained `update` on `auth/token/create/sso-app` and `auth/token/renew-accessor`/`revoke-accessor`/`lookup-accessor`.
+  - `docs/secrets.md` rewritten around the new lifecycle (roles table, renewal layers, disaster recovery).
+
+## [v1.35.13] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Added
+- **sso v1.22.0** — new **Agents** page (live list of connected theta-agent hosts with CPU/RAM/disk/ZFS/GPU telemetry + online status) and a security fix gating the `/api/agent` REST routes. Bumped the sso-manager-node gitlink to v1.22.0.
+
+## [v1.35.12] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **theta-agent crash-looped (`cannot unmarshal !!bool 'true' into []string`)** — setup.sh's "full control" edit wrote `service_control: true`, but that field is a `[]string` allowlist, so the agent failed to decode the config and restart-loop. Removed the invalid edit; `service_control` now stays as its allowlist (default `[]` = deny all) and the operator can list specific services.
+
+## [v1.35.11] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **`setup.sh` aborted with `UNSEAL_KEY: unbound variable` on re-runs** — when OpenBao was already unsealed, the unseal block was skipped and `UNSEAL_KEY` was never set, so the later `if [[ -n "$UNSEAL_KEY" ]]` crashed under `set -u`. Guarded with `${UNSEAL_KEY:-}`.
+
+## [v1.35.10] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Added
+- **`--reset-openbao`** — full clean OpenBao reset for clearing stale policies/tokens (re-inits the store, flushes the Redis vault-token cache). Use when the vault UI shows a recurring `403 permission denied` on the secrets list.
+- **sso v1.21.0** — shared secrets: users publish secrets to `secret/shared/<owner>/<slug>` and grant read access to other users and apps; plus a durable fix for the recurring vault 403 (broker now always reconciles policy content before serving a cached token). Bumped the sso-manager-node submodule gitlink to v1.21.0.
+
+### Fixed
+- **theta-agent was never installed** — `setup.sh` tried to `go build` from an incomplete source-file list (omitting `executor.go`/`telemetry.go`), which failed silently and skipped install. It now installs the prebuilt `theta-agent-linux-amd64` binary from the submodule and writes config to `/etc/theta42/agent.yml` (the path the agent actually reads).
+
+## [v1.35.9] - 2026-08-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **sso & proxy version strings now match their release tags** — The v1.20.2 / v1.32.0 release tags were created but their `nodejs/package.json` version fields were left behind (1.20.1 / 1.14.3), so the deployed apps' update-check banner falsely reported a newer version. Bumped submodules to the corrected commits so `buildVersion` matches the deployed tag.
+
+## [v1.35.2] - 2026-08-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **Unbound `CFG_CREATE_ALL_HTTP` variable in `setup.sh`** — Fixed unbound variable error during host registration in `setup.sh` when `ensure_secrets_files()` is skipped on pre-configured installations.
+
+## [v1.35.1] - 2026-08-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **Directory & Configuration UI enhancements** — Live Cytoscape graph update on parent/child edge modifications, improved discovery reconciler host matching, updated configuration sidebar layout, relocated discovery and messaging plugins to Directory and Configuration pages.
+- **Managed Host Target Filter** — Filter SSH connection targets in Jump Host to managed hosts only.
+
+## [v1.35.0] - 2026-08-02
+
+### Added
+- **Non-interactive theta-agent configuration** — Added three `setup.env` variables
+  to control theta-agent installation and configuration without interactive prompts:
+  - `CFG_THETA_AGENT_ENABLE` (default: 1) — Enable theta-agent installation
+  - `CFG_THETA_AGENT_LDAP_AUTH` (default: 1) — Configure LDAP authentication via ldap-client
+  - `CFG_THETA_AGENT_FULL_CONTROL` (default: 1) — Enable all agent capabilities
+
+### Changed
+- **`setup.sh`**: Made theta-agent setup fully non-interactive, driven by `setup.env`
+  variables. Defaults preserve existing behavior (all features enabled).
+
+## [v1.34.0] - 2026-08-02
+
+### Added
+- **theta-agent**: Added the agent submodule and C2 WebSocket endpoint integrations to the suite.
+- **PKI Certificates**: Integrated PKI certificate generation and management capabilities.
+
+### Changed
+- **Submodules bumped**:
+  - `sso-manager-node` updated to `v1.19.2` (Includes Discovery graph merge fix).
+  - `proxy` updated to `v1.14.1` (Removed invalid documentation copy from Dockerfile).
+  - `jump-host` updated to `v1.16.1`.
+- **`setup.sh`**: Added robust `|| true` fallback to Redis `LASTSAVE` and `CONFIG GET` commands to gracefully bypass snapshoting if the target container is in a crash-loop.
+- **Docs**: Removed all standalone deployment documentation to officially deprecate standalone mode.
+- **CI/CD**: Removed redundant submodule unit test jobs from the main orchestration pipeline.
+
+## [v1.33.0] - 2026-08-02
+
+### Changed
+- **Submodules bumped** for OpenBao secret integration.
+
+## [v1.32.0] - 2026-08-01
+
+### Added
+- **CI/CD**: Added robust GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows for the suite.
+- **Docs**: Updated plugin ecosystem documentation.
+
+## [v1.31.1] - 2026-08-01
+
+Pairs the sso v1.17.2 post-deploy fixes with the theta-suite half of the
+`/vault` secrets-list 403 fix (the `sso-admin` OpenBao policy grant that lives
+in `setup.sh`), and rolls the `sso-manager-node` submodule gitlink to v1.17.2.
+`proxy` (v1.13.1), `jump-host` (v1.14.1), and `ldap-client` (v1.23.0) are
+unchanged.
+
+### Changed (theta-suite)
+- **`setup.sh` — `sso-admin` policy**: added a `list` grant on the bare KV mount
+  root `secret/metadata` so an admin can list the top-level dirs in the `/vault`
+  UI. `secret/metadata/*` already covered nested paths, but not the mount root
+  itself — so the secrets list 403'd. (The matching per-user/per-app directory
+  grants ship in sso v1.17.2's `vault_broker.js`.)
+- **`setup.sh` — `ensure_policy`**: now always (re)writes the policy instead of
+  skipping when it exists. `bao policy write` is an idempotent overwrite, so a
+  re-run applies policy edits (like the new grant above) instead of stranding
+  the old HCL with "already exists — keeping."
+
+### Changed (submodule gitlinks)
+- **sso-manager-node**: `v1.17.1` → `v1.17.2` — the post-deploy fixes (auto-slug
+  plugins, schedule dropdown, `/profile` rendering, plugin-edit persistence,
+  nmap in the image, the sso-side `/vault` policy grants) plus the SMS (VoIP.ms)
+  and Terms-of-Service configuration on `/conf`. Full changelog below.
+
+### Deploy
+Operators upgrading from v1.31.0:
+1. `git pull` and `git submodule update --init --recursive`.
+2. Re-run `./setup.sh` — **required**: applies the new `sso-admin`
+   `secret/metadata` list grant and the `ensure_policy` always-write refresh
+   (idempotent). Per-user vault policies self-heal on the next `/vault` visit
+   (sso v1.17.2 re-writes them).
+3. `docker compose build && docker compose up -d` — the rebuild installs `nmap`
+   in the sso image (fixes the nmap plugin "not found" error).
+
+### Bundled submodule release notes
+
+#### sso-manager-node v1.17.2 — post-deploy fixes + SMS/TOS on /conf
+
+Post-deploy fixes from testing the v1.31.0 stack, plus the SMS (VoIP.ms) and
+Terms-of-Service configuration the `/conf` page was missing.
+
+##### Fixed
+- **Plugin slug is now auto-generated** from the instance name — the New Plugin
+  modal no longer asks for a Slug (it derives a stable, unique handle from the
+  name, appending `-2`, `-3`, … on collision). The generated slug still shows in
+  the table and the Edit (read-only) modal. `POST /api/plugins` `slug` is now
+  optional; an explicit slug is still accepted and validated.
+- **Plugin schedule is a dropdown**, not a raw cron box: Hourly / Daily /
+  Weekly, plus **Custom** which reveals the raw 5-field cron input. Stored value
+  is still a cron string, so the server is unchanged.
+- **`/vault` secrets list no longer 403s.** The per-user, per-app, and admin
+  OpenBao policies granted `list` only on `secret/metadata/.../*` (nested
+  paths), never on the directory path itself — so listing a directory's
+  *contents* (which checks `list` on the directory, e.g.
+  `secret/metadata/users/<uid>` or the mount root `secret/metadata`) was denied.
+  `vault_broker.js`'s `userPolicyHcl`/`appPolicyHcl` now also grant `list` on the
+  bare directory path, and `ensurePolicy` now always re-writes the policy
+  (idempotent) so already-created `user-<uid>` policies pick up the new grant on
+  the next vault-page visit. The matching `sso-admin` mount-root grant ships in
+  theta-suite v1.31.1 (`setup.sh`), where `ensure_policy` is likewise made
+  always-write so re-running `./setup.sh` applies policy edits.
+- **`/profile` no longer shows literal `{{…}}` tags.** Three template fragments
+  sat outside the `jq-repeat="user"` scope, so they rendered raw: the card
+  header `Profile: {{user.uid}}`, the `Members of {{user.uid}}'s Group` tab
+  label, and the Admin Actions block's `{{#isActive}}`/`{{#isInactive}}`
+  buttons. The header/label are now populated by JS (the `Members` label
+  already had a setter pointing at a missing id); the Admin Actions block is
+  moved inside the scope so `{{uid}}`/`{{#isActive}}`/`{{#isInactive}}` render
+  and the correct Activate/Deactivate button shows.
+- **Editing a plugin now persists.** The Edit modal had been prefilled with the
+  masked secret values and rendered them as fields, but `PUT /:id` only saves
+  non-secret config — so an edited secret was silently dropped. The Edit modal
+  now shows **non-secret fields only** (secrets have their own Edit-Secrets
+  modal), removing the confusion.
+- **nmap plugin: "NMAP not found at command location: nmap"** — the `nmap`
+  binary was not installed in the app image. `Dockerfile.openldap` now `apk
+  add`s `nmap` in the runtime stage, and `plugins/discovery/nmap.js` translates
+  the opaque node-nmap spawn-missing error into an actionable `lastError`.
+
+##### Added
+- **SMS (VoIP.ms) configuration on `/conf`.** The existing VoIP.ms SMS sender
+  (`models/sms.js`, used for 2FA OTP delivery) was configurable only via env /
+  config files. It now has an SMS card on `/conf` (API username, DID, API
+  password), saved to OpenBao at `secret/sso-manager/conf` under `voipms`, with
+  the API password masked (`********`) and leave-blank-to-keep — mirroring the
+  SMTP card exactly. `models/sms.js` reads `conf.voipms.*` at call time, so a
+  saved change takes effect live without a restart.
+- **Terms of Service editor moved to `/conf`** from the admin Overview
+  dashboard, where it never belonged. The same `app.tos.get`/`update` flow,
+  the "require all users to re-accept" checkbox, and the `app_sso_admin` gate
+  (matching `routes/tos.js`'s PUT gate) are preserved. The Overview page keeps
+  stats, notifications, and metrics.
+
+## [v1.31.0] - 2026-08-01
+
+Roll-up release: bumps the composed submodules to their latest tags so a fresh
+`git clone` + `./setup.sh` deploys the SSO Manager plugin system, the `/conf`
+SMTP/OAuth secret masking, and the ldap-client changelog. `proxy` (v1.13.1) and
+`jump-host` (v1.14.1) were already at latest and are unchanged.
+
+### Changed (submodule gitlinks)
+- **sso-manager-node**: `v1.16.1` → `v1.17.1` (the plugin system shipped in
+  v1.17.0, plus the v1.17.1 `/conf` secret-masking hardening).
+- **ldap-client**: `v1.1.1` → `v1.23.0` — a CHANGELOG-only release (the new
+  `CHANGELOG.md` documenting v1.1.0/v1.0.0; **no code change** — the "UI polish"
+  tag message is misleading, the v1.1.1…v1.23.0 diff is `CHANGELOG.md` only).
+
+### Deploy
+Operators upgrading from a prior release:
+1. `git pull` and `git submodule update --init --recursive` (or a fresh clone).
+2. Re-run `./setup.sh` — this is **required** if you haven't yet applied the
+   v1.30.1 `sso-broker` OpenBao policy grant for `secret/plugins/*` (idempotent;
+   it grants the existing `SSO_VAULT_TOKEN` access live, so plugin-secrets
+   storage works).
+3. `docker compose build && docker compose up -d`. Existing
+   `conf.discovery.plugins` setups auto-migrate into `PluginInstance` rows +
+   OpenBao secrets on first boot of sso v1.17.x.
+
+### Bundled submodule release notes
+
+#### sso-manager-node v1.17.0 — real plugin system (loadable instances + OpenBao secrets)
+
+## [1.17.0] - 2026-08-01
+
+A real **plugin system**: the half-built discovery plugins (statically
+configured in `sso-secrets.js`, only toggleable for cron/enabled) become
+**configurable, loadable/unloadable plugin instances** you manage from a
+dedicated **Plugins** page and the `/api/plugins` API, with multiple runtime
+copies of each type and per-instance secrets stored in OpenBao.
+
+### Added
+- **Plugin instances** — a new `PluginInstance` ORM model
+  (`nodejs/models/plugin_instance.js`, Sequelize) is the registry of
+  configured, scheduled plugin copies. Each has a `pluginType`, a unique
+  `slug` (the discovery source name), a cron schedule, an `enabled` flag
+  (load/unload), non-secret `config` (JSON), and last-run bookkeeping. Multiple
+  instances of the same type are supported.
+- **Plugin registry** (`nodejs/services/plugin_registry.js`) — generalizes the
+  one-shot discovery-plugin scan in `scheduler.js`. Plugin types are modules
+  under `nodejs/plugins/<category>/<type>.js` exporting a manifest
+  (`type`, `category`, `name`, `description`, `configSchema`, `validate`,
+  `run`/`discover`). Exposes `getTypes`, `getModule`, `splitConfig` (secret vs
+  non-secret), `mask`, and required-field helpers for the UI/API.
+- **Per-instance secrets in OpenBao** (`nodejs/utils/plugin_secrets.js`) —
+  `configSchema` fields flagged `secret:true` (e.g. a Proxmox `tokenSecret`,
+  UniFi `password`) are stored at `secret/plugins/<instance-id>/conf`, never in
+  the DB. The UI only ever sees masked (`********`) values. Plugins run
+  in-process (BullMQ workers), so they need no OpenBao token of their own — the
+  SSO reads/writes via the `sso-broker` token. **Requires theta-suite ≥ v1.30.1**
+  for the `sso-broker` policy grant on `secret/plugins/*`; the API fails-soft
+  with a clear error if absent.
+- **`/api/plugins` API** (`nodejs/routes/api_plugins.js`, replaces the old
+  `routes/plugins.js`) — `GET /types`, list/get/create/update/update-secrets/
+  test/load/unload/run/delete/runs. Admin-only
+  (`app_sso_admin` / `app_sso_directory_admin` / `app_super_admin`).
+- **Plugins page** (`/plugins`, `views/plugins.ejs`) + nav entry — instance
+  table with New/Edit/Edit-Secrets/Test/Run-now/Load/Unload/Delete, config forms
+  rendered from each type's `configSchema`.
+- **`validate`** ("Test" button) on the built-in Proxmox/UniFi/Nmap plugins.
+
+### Changed
+- `services/scheduler.js` now schedules from the `PluginInstance` table instead
+  of static `conf.discovery.plugins` + a Redis override hash. Each instance owns
+  a stable BullMQ JobScheduler id (`plugin:<instanceId>`) so load/unload
+  upsert/remove one schedule without disturbing the rest. Discovery plugins
+  reconcile results under the instance's `slug`.
+- The three discovery plugins (`plugins/discovery/{proxmox,unifi,nmap}.js`)
+  gained manifests (`configSchema`, `validate`, `run` alias). `nmap`'s
+  `targetRange` is non-secret; Proxmox `tokenSecret` and UniFi `password` are
+  secret.
+- The `/plugins` page route renders the page instead of redirecting to
+  `/directory`; the **Agents & Scheduler** tab was removed from `/directory`
+  (plugins are now managed on the Plugins page). The `/docs/agents` link is
+  aliased to `/docs/plugins`.
+- `docs/plugins.md`, `docs/vault.md`, `docs/_config.yml` (nav), and `API.md`
+  (Plugin Endpoints section) document the new system.
+
+### Legacy migration
+On first boot of v1.17.0, if the `PluginInstance` table is empty **and**
+`conf.discovery.plugins` has entries, one instance per configured type is seeded
+automatically (secret fields copied into OpenBao). After that the static
+config is ignored — manage plugins from the UI/API. Idempotent (guarded by the
+empty-table check).
+
+### Prerequisite
+**theta-suite ≥ v1.30.1** — re-run `./setup.sh` after upgrading so the
+`sso-broker` OpenBao policy is granted `secret/plugins/*`. Without it, storing
+plugin secrets fails with a clear error.
+
+
+#### sso-manager-node v1.17.1 — mask SMTP/OAuth secrets + leave-blank-to-keep on /conf
+
+## [1.17.1] - 2026-08-01
+
+Hardens the **runtime SMTP/OAuth secret handling** on the `/conf` admin page to
+match the plugin-secrets discipline: the SMTP password and OAuth JWT secret are
+no longer returned in cleartext by `GET /api/conf` or round-tripped through the
+form. They remain saved in OpenBao at `secret/sso-manager/conf` at runtime
+(unchanged) — only how they're surfaced to the admin changes.
+
+### Changed
+- **`GET /api/conf`** now masks `smtp.pass` and `oauth.jwtSecret` to `********`
+  (was: returned in cleartext). Non-secret fields (host, port, user, from,
+  secure, issuer, token lifetimes) are returned as before.
+- **`POST /api/conf`** now treats a blank or `********` secret-field submission
+  as "keep the current stored value" — so an admin editing the From address or
+  token lifetimes no longer has to re-enter (or leak) the SMTP password / JWT
+  secret. Only a genuinely new, non-blank value overwrites. The preserved values
+  are re-applied to live `conf` immediately, as before.
+- **`/conf` page** (`views/conf.ejs`): the Password and JWT Secret fields carry
+  a "leave unchanged to keep the current value stored in OpenBao" hint; the page
+  copy notes secret fields are masked. No JSON-textarea editing is involved —
+  SMTP is and remains configured through structured form fields.
+
+### Notes
+- SMTP (and OAuth) config was **already** saved to OpenBao at runtime before
+  this release (via `POST /api/conf` → `baoConf.set('sso-manager/conf')`, and
+  overlaid back at boot by `bao-conf.init`). This release closes the
+  cleartext-exposure gap; it does not move the storage path.
+- No theta-suite policy change required — `secret/sso-manager/conf` was already
+  granted to the `sso-broker` policy.
+
+
+#### ldap-client v1.23.0 — CHANGELOG-only (no code change)
+
+Adds a `CHANGELOG.md` documenting v1.1.0 (`app_super_admin` / `app_jump_admin`
+group support in SSSD access filters; the sso/jump-host TLS-validation
+divergence) and v1.0.0 (initial SSSD LDAP auth release). No source changes vs
+v1.1.1; the v1.23.0 tag commit only adds this file.

-## Configuration
-
-`setup.sh` automates the first-run glue between subprojects:
-- Asks for your domain once (in `setup.env`) and fills it in across all config files.
-- Registers the proxy as an OIDC client of the SSO.
-- Persists submodule commit hashes in `.env` for reproducibility (e.g., `SSO_GIT_COMMIT`, `PROXY_GIT_COMMIT`). This ensures future `docker compose` runs use the same submodule versions.
-
-**Why use this instead of running the two separately?** The two only become useful once the proxy is registered as an OIDC client of the SSO and pointed at the SSO's LDAP directory — and the SSO's domain has to match across half a dozen config fields or logins silently fail with `Invalid Credentials`. Doing that by hand is fiddly and easy to get wrong. `setup.sh` handles this automatically and snapshots state before every rebuild — so you get a working SSO + proxy stack in one command and a safe way to upgrade it.

+# theta-agent: Local-Discovery Spec (mDNS "prefer local directory")
+
+**Audience**: implementer on Windows/Mac (this was authored on Linux; Windows/Mac-specific network and hosts-file behavior needs to be built and tested there, not assumed here).
+**Repo**: `theta-agent` (Go). Signing/config mechanism referenced below: `websocket.go`, `config.go`.
+**Parent doc**: [`MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md`](./MULTI_SITE_SPEC.md) §5.3 — read that section for the "why," this doc is the "what," precisely enough to implement without re-deriving the reasoning.
+
+## Problem
+
+A no-inbound spoke site's public hostname (e.g. `sso-staten-island.theta42.com`) resolves, from the internet, to the master's IP, which relays over WireGuard to the spoke. A device physically on that spoke's LAN resolving the same hostname takes the same path — out to the master, back over the tunnel — even though the real service is a few feet away. This is wasted latency, not a correctness bug, but it's the kind of thing users notice.
+
+## What to Build
+
+### 1. Announcer (gateway/proxy side — may already be scoped elsewhere, confirm before duplicating)
+The spoke's `theta-gateway` or `theta-proxy` periodically advertises itself via mDNS on the local segment:
+- Service type: `_theta-suite._tcp.local`
+- TXT records: `site=<slug>`, `hosts=<comma-separated list of public hostnames this site fronts>`
+- Advertised address: the service's own local LAN IP
+
+### 2. Listener + Override (this doc's actual scope — theta-agent)
+- New config field in `agent.yml`, e.g. `prefer_local_discovered_directory: bool` (default `false` — opt-in, not automatic, since it changes name resolution behavior on the host).
+- When `true`, the agent runs an mDNS browser for `_theta-suite._tcp.local` in the background.
+- On receiving an announcement whose `hosts` TXT list includes a hostname the agent cares about (at minimum: the hostname the agent itself is currently configured to connect to for its WS connection), the agent installs a **local override** redirecting that hostname to the discovered local IP.
+- No announcement seen (agent off-site, or flag disabled) → no override installed, normal DNS resolution applies. Nothing else about the agent's behavior changes in this case.
+- If a previously-discovered site's announcement stops being seen (TTL expiry / agent moved networks), the override must be **removed**, not left stale. Don't let a laptop that left the office keep resolving the old office hostname to a now-unreachable LAN IP.
+
+### 3. Override Mechanism — Platform-Specific, Needs Real Investigation
+
+This is the part that most needs Windows/Mac-native work; do not assume the Linux/Unix approach ports directly:
+
+- **Windows**: hosts file lives at `%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`; writing to it requires elevation, and Windows caches DNS results independently (`ipconfig /flushdns` needed after an edit, or the change won't take effect immediately — verify whether theta-agent already runs elevated on Windows, since if it doesn't, this whole approach may need a different mechanism, e.g. a local proxy/resolver instead of hosts-file edits).
+- **macOS**: hosts file at `/etc/hosts`, also requires root; macOS's mDNSResponder/DNS caching behavior differs from Windows and Linux (`dscacheutil -flushcache; killall -HUP mDNSResponder` territory) — confirm whether an installed hosts entry is actually honored promptly, or whether the built-in mDNSResponder needs to be told directly instead of fighting it with a hosts-file edit (macOS already *has* native mDNS support baked into resolution — it may be simpler/more idiomatic there to register via the OS's own Bonjour APIs rather than hand-roll hosts-file mutation).
+- **Linux**: `/etc/hosts`, requires root, comparatively straightforward, `systemd-resolved` caching considerations may apply depending on distro.
+
+Given the platform divergence, seriously consider whether a **local stub resolver** (theta-agent listens on `127.0.0.1:<port>`, answers matching hostnames from its own discovery cache, forwards everything else upstream — with the OS's DNS pointed at it only for the duration this feature is active) is actually simpler and more uniform across all three platforms than hosts-file mutation, despite the extra moving part. Recommend evaluating both before committing to an implementation; this doc intentionally doesn't prescribe one, since that call needs platform testing this environment can't do.
+
+## Hard Security Rule (non-negotiable, applies regardless of mechanism chosen)
+
+mDNS is **unauthenticated** on a local network — anyone on the same LAN segment can broadcast a spoofed announcement. This feature may only ever change **where** the agent connects (which IP a hostname resolves to). It must **never** change **whether** the agent trusts what answers there. Concretely:
+- TLS certificate validation and hostname verification against the redirected IP must remain fully enforced — no exceptions, no "local network so it's fine" carve-out.
+- A spoofed rogue announcement pointing a hostname at an attacker's local IP should produce a TLS handshake failure (cert won't match), not a silent connection. If your chosen mechanism has *any* code path where local-discovery bypasses or weakens cert checking, that's a bug, not an optimization — fix it before shipping.
+
+## Out of Scope for This Piece
+
+- The announcer side's exact library/implementation on the gateway/proxy (Linux — can be built where this spec was authored, not blocked on Windows/Mac).
+- Anything about the master-relay mechanism itself (§5.2 of the parent spec) — this doc is purely the "skip the relay when local" optimization layered on top of it.
+
+## Definition of Done
+
+- Flag exists, defaults off.
+- Enabling it on a machine physically on a spoke's LAN measurably routes traffic to the local spoke instead of through the master relay (verify via a network capture or the proxy's own access logs on each side, not just "it feels faster").
+- Leaving that LAN (or disabling the flag) reliably reverts to normal resolution — no stale overrides.
+- A test with a spoofed/rogue mDNS announcement (a second, non-legitimate advertiser) results in a TLS failure, not a successful connection to the impostor.
+- Behavior verified on both Windows and macOS, not just Linux.

+title: Group & Permission Model
+nav_order: 3
+---
+
+# 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.
+- **The `S` site segment is the site resource's slug verbatim** (`site_local`),
+  NOT re-slugified (which would corrupt the delimiter: `site_local` → `site-local`).
+- **Per-resource groups are `{S}_{kind}_{name}_{level}`.** `kind` is `host` or
+  `app`; `name` is the resource's **name slug with the kind prefix stripped** — a
+  host resource `host_theta-env` has name `theta-env`, so its groups are
+  `site_local_host_theta-env_access` / `_admin`. A service (the group model's
+  `app`, docs §11) `sso-manager` gives `site_local_app_sso-manager_access`. The
+  kind segment is always present, which is what makes a resource's name
+  unambiguous even if a host and a service share a name.
+- **Within a segment, normalize to lowercase** — spaces and stray `_` → `-`; strip
+  other non-`[a-z0-9-]`. A host named `Web 01` and a site `Main Office` (resource
+  slugs `host_web-01` and `site_main-office`) yield groups `site_main-office_host_web-01_*`.
+- **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
+    # resource.name is the resource's name slug (kind prefix stripped); the kind
+    # is its own segment. A host `host_theta-env` has name `theta-env`, kind `host`.
+    specific = f"{site}_{resource.kind}_{resource.name}_{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` (site resource slug `site_main-office`) imports:
+
+```
+(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(|(cn=site_main-office_host_web01_access)
+                               (cn=site_main-office_host_web01_admin)
+                               (cn=site_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

+# Theta Suite Multi-Site Architecture & VPN Specification
+
+**Specification Version**: `2.2.0`
+**Status**: Mostly shipped. Read the status table at the bottom before trusting any section's detail as current behavior — this document accumulated across several build passes and earlier sections describe things that were aspirational when written and real by the time later sections were added.
+**Target Suite Version**: `v1.50.0+`
+**Repository**: [`theta-suite`](https://github.com/theta42/theta-suite)
+
+> ## Shipped today
+> - **Join, live replication, promotion** (`sso-manager-node`): a spoke joins via a one-time export over a site join key (`POST /api/site/join-keys` / `/export` / `/join`), then registers its own endpoint so the master can push live resync pings on every catalog write — no longer a one-time snapshot. Promotion (`POST /api/directory-admin/site-promote`) coordinates a real handoff, demoting the old master as one action. Identical agent-signing keys ride the same export/resync path. Read [`sso-manager-node/docs/site-join.md`](https://github.com/theta42/theta-directory/blob/master/docs/site-join.md) and `directory_spec.md` §11 for the endpoint-level detail.
+> - **Gateway-to-gateway WireGuard mesh** (`theta-gateway`): real site-to-site tunnels via `POST /api/mesh/register`/`/join`, kernel WireGuard with a userspace `wireguard-go` fallback. Verified with an actual two-container encrypted tunnel passing traffic, not a mock.
+> - **Not yet connected to each other**: the mesh is a transport layer that exists on its own; `sso-manager-node`'s HTTPS-based join/replicate calls don't route over it yet. That wiring, plus the no-inbound relay it would enable (mechanism verified, automation not built — see status table), is the next layer.
+> - **mDNS local-discovery, Linux**: shipped and verified end-to-end — `theta-gateway` announces (`services/mdns_announce.js`), `theta-agent` discovers and applies a hosts-file override, cleanly reverts when the announcement disappears. Windows/macOS remain unbuilt — see the TODO list.
+
+Design scale: a handful of sites (dozen max, 254 hard ceiling — see §4), a few hundred users/hosts total. This is a deliberate, small, trusted-operator deployment, not a hyperscale/adversarial-tenant one — several decisions below (fire-and-forget replication, identical directories) trade blast-radius for simplicity *because* the scale allows it. Don't generalize these choices past that scale without re-deriving them.

+
+## 2. Every Directory Is Identical
+
+Master and every spoke run the **same LDAP data, the same OpenBao secrets, and the same agent-signing key**. Hitting any site's `sso-manager-node` for read/auth purposes is equivalent to hitting any other. The only asymmetry is **write authority** (§3).
+
+This is a deliberate tradeoff, not a default: it means compromising *any single spoke* — including the smallest, least-secured one — grants an attacker the same agent-command authority (`update_binary`, `arbitrary_bash`, service control) as compromising the master, because every site holds the same Ed25519 signing key (`sso-manager-node/nodejs/utils/agent_keys.js`). Accepted here because the deployment scale is small and trusted. Do not extend this pattern to a larger/adversarial-tenant deployment without revisiting it.
+
+Consequence: `theta-agent` needs **no change** to support multi-site — it already does TOFU pairing against a single trusted key (`websocket.go:341-351`), and since that key is identical everywhere, any site's `sso-manager-node` can validly sign a command for any agent, anywhere, without agents needing a keyring.
+
+### 2.1 What Replicates, and How
+
+| Data | Mechanism | Direction |
+|---|---|---|
+| LDAP (users, groups) | OpenLDAP MMR syncrepl | master (write) → spokes (read-only) |
+| OpenBao secrets (incl. agent-signing key at `secret/agent/signing-key`) | **New**: custom replicator (OpenBao has no built-in multi-site replication — Performance Replication is Vault-Enterprise-only, confirmed absent from OpenBao as of this writing) | master (write) → spokes (read-only) |
+| Directory catalog (Resources: hosts, apps, sites) | Existing catalog change events | master (write) → spokes (read-only) |
+| Audit log | Async batch worker, already speced (§6) | spokes → master |
+
+### 2.2 Replication Delivery: Fire-and-Forget
+
+Master is the sole writer (§3), so there is exactly one producer per data type — no conflict resolution, no consensus, no vector clocks needed. On every write, master pushes the change to all connected spokes **concurrently** (not sequentially — spokes are independent WG peers, none blocks on another) and does **not** wait for acks. A spoke that's offline queues nothing on the master's side; on reconnect, the spoke pulls (or master replays) missed versions.
+
+This is a deliberate choice over "wait for all spokes to ack": with a dozen spokes, concurrent push completes in low hundreds of milliseconds on the happy path, but *waiting* for acks makes every write's latency bounded by the slowest/offline spoke — reintroducing the split-brain-adjacent stall that §3's explicit-promotion design exists to avoid. Never make a master write block on spoke reachability.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Explicit Master Control & Human `god_admin` Authority
+
+Automatic failover across WAN is explicitly disabled — 0% split-brain risk by design:
+
+```
+                          WAN OUTAGE DETECTED
+                                   │
+                                   ▼
+             Spoke Node Unconditionally Retains SPOKE Mode
+                                   │
+                                   ▼
+             Requires Human god_admin Promotion Action
+```
+
+1. **Unreachable master**: a spoke that loses the master unconditionally stays a spoke. No auto-election.
+2. **Promotion is a single coordinated action, not two steps**: `POST /api/directory-admin/site-promote` (god_admin-gated) calls out to the *current* master over the WG tunnel and demotes it as part of the same operation — there's never a window with two masters. (Requires the old master to be reachable; if it isn't, that's an operator-visible failure to resolve manually, not a silent partial-promotion.)
+3. Because every directory is identical (§2), promotion carries **no agent re-keying cost** — this was the main risk in earlier drafts of this design and is now moot.
+4. Site state (name, slug, `isMaster`, `masterUrl`, `wanConnected`) lives on the site's own `kind:'site'` Resource (`metadata.multiSite`), not in server memory — it must survive restarts and be visible via the same directory API as everything else.
+
+---
+
+## 4. `spoke.env` vs `setup.env`
+
+A spoke shares almost none of `setup.env`'s concerns (it doesn't mint LDAP admin/JWT/service-account secrets — those arrive via replication, §2) so it gets its own, much shorter file:
+
+```
+CFG_DOMAIN=theta42.com          # REQUIRED, must match the master's exactly — this is the shared LDAP base DN (dc=theta42,dc=com). Never per-site.
+CFG_SITE_NAME=staten-island     # this site's name/slug
+CFG_SPOKE_INBOUND=false         # true: this site has a public IP and serves its own traffic directly (standalone-style). false: no inbound path exists; master relays (§5).
+CFG_PUBLIC_DOMAIN=              # only used when CFG_SPOKE_INBOUND=true — this site's own domain, own DNS, own ACME cert, independent of the master's domain.
+CFG_JOIN_TOKEN=                 # one-time token from the master, used for WG mesh auto-registration (§4.1) and initial catalog/secret pull.
+CFG_MASTER_ENDPOINT=            # master's WG endpoint (host:port) to join through.
+```
+
+`CFG_DOMAIN` is the identity namespace (LDAP DN) and must be identical across every site — MMR replicas cannot diverge on base DN. `CFG_PUBLIC_DOMAIN` is a *web-hostname* concern, unrelated to LDAP, and only exists at all for inbound spokes.
+
+### 4.1 WireGuard Mesh Auto-Registration
+
+1. A new `theta-gateway` boots with `CFG_JOIN_TOKEN` + `CFG_MASTER_ENDPOINT`, generates its Curve25519 keypair, and calls `POST /api/mesh/gateway/register` on the master over an initial bootstrap tunnel.
+2. Master assigns the next free **site index** (one octet, used identically in both `172.24.<site>.0/16` and `10.<site>.0.0/16` per the reference topology in Appendix A) and returns full mesh peer config.
+3. **Site index ceiling is 254** (0 and 255 excluded) — a hard technical limit of this addressing scheme, not an arbitrary cap. Real deployments target a dozen or fewer; no need to cap lower than the real ceiling.
+4. Each `theta-gateway` applies the new peer set to its running `wg0` via `wgctrl` without dropping existing connections.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Inbound vs. No-Inbound Spokes
+
+Whether a spoke has a public IP determines everything about how its traffic reaches the outside world — these are two distinct, documented operating modes, not a single universal mechanism.
+
+### 5.1 Inbound Spoke (`CFG_SPOKE_INBOUND=true`)
+Behaves like a standalone install. Own `CFG_PUBLIC_DOMAIN`, own DNS pointed at its own public IP, own ACME cert. `theta-proxy` and `theta-gateway` serve public web + SSH traffic directly — no relay involved. The only WAN-facing traffic to the master is replication (§2) and audit shipping (§6).
+
+### 5.2 No-Inbound Spoke (`CFG_SPOKE_INBOUND=false`)
+No public IP exists, so *any* external access must go through the master:
+
+1. Master mints a public hostname for the spoke's services (e.g. `sso-{slug}.{master's public domain}`) and creates the corresponding `theta-proxy` route (already dynamic/DB-backed — `proxy/nodejs/models/host.js` — no new plumbing needed there).
+2. Master **terminates TLS** for that hostname and relays to the spoke over the WG tunnel — both `theta-proxy` (any site-hosted web app) and `theta-gateway` (SSH jump) traffic relay this way, not just SSO.
+3. Terminating at the master (rather than SNI passthrough) is fine here specifically because master↔spoke already rides an encrypted WG tunnel — there's no unencrypted hop being introduced.
+
+### 5.3 Local-Direct Resolution (Skip the Relay On-LAN)
+
+A client physically on a no-inbound spoke's LAN would otherwise hairpin out to the master and back to reach its own local site. Solved via **mDNS local-service-discovery**, not directory-side network topology:
+
+1. The spoke's `theta-gateway`/`theta-proxy` announces itself on the local segment via mDNS (`_theta-suite._tcp.local`, TXT records: site slug, public hostnames it fronts, local IP).
+2. `theta-agent`, when a config flag (`preferLocalDiscoveredDirectory` or similar — see the agent-side spec, Appendix B) is enabled, listens for this announcement and overrides local resolution for matching hostnames to the discovered local IP.
+3. No match (off-site, or flag disabled) → normal public DNS → master relay. Multicast is link-local by nature, so "on-site or not" needs no explicit detection logic — presence/absence of the announcement *is* the signal. This also solves roaming-admin access (§ formerly "5", folded in here) for free: same laptop, same flag, local-fast-path at the office and relay-path everywhere else.
+4. **Hard rule**: mDNS is unauthenticated on a LAN. It may only ever change *where* the agent connects, never *whether* it trusts what answers — TLS/hostname validation against the redirected IP must stay intact, so a spoofed rogue announcement produces a TLS failure, not a silent MITM.
+
+This piece needs Windows/Mac-specific implementation and testing that can't be done from this (Linux) environment — see Appendix B for the standalone spec handed off for that work.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Non-Canonical Audit Logging
+
+Unchanged from prior draft: OAuth logins, SSH session events, proxy access, and agent execution events write to local site audit tables without blocking on WAN. An async worker flushes batches to master via `POST /api/directory-admin/audit/ingest` when reachable.

+
+## Status of This Spec vs. Code (as of this revision)
+
+| Piece | Status |
+|---|---|
+| Site role persisted (not in-memory) | **Shipped** — `/config/site.json` on `sso-manager-node`, survives restarts (v2.2.0) |
+| Join key issuance + one-time directory adoption | **Shipped** — `/api/site/join-keys`, `/api/site/export`, `/api/site/join`, fresh-install-gated (v2.2.0–v2.3.0) |
+| Spoke read-only enforcement | **Shipped** — directory-write routes 403 toward the master once joined (v2.3.0) |
+| WAN health check | **Shipped** — `/api/site/ping`, live in the Master Site modal (v2.2.0–v2.3.0) |
+| `setup.env` / `setup.sh` join wiring | **Shipped** — `CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_URL` / `CFG_MASTER_DIRECTORY_JOIN_KEY`, `bootstrap/site-join.js` (theta-suite v2.2.0) |
+| Continuous/live replication (vs. one-time export-on-join) | **Shipped** (`sso-manager-node`) — a spoke registers its own endpoint at join time (`POST /api/site/spokes`), and every successful master catalog write fires a fire-and-forget push (`utils/site_replicate.js`) at every registered spoke, which re-pulls a fresh export. Verified end-to-end in `docker-compose.multisite-e2e.yml`. |
+| Identical-directory signing key | **Shipped** — `POST /api/site/export` includes the master's agent-signing key; a spoke adopts it via `agent_keys.adopt()` on join and every resync. OpenBao secret replication *beyond* this one key is still not built. |
+| Coordinated master promotion (demote the old master as one action) | **Shipped** — `POST /api/site/demote` + `site-promote`'s handoff logic. Fixed two real pre-existing bugs while wiring this in: `site-promote`'s god_admin check read a `req.user.groups` field nothing ever populated (permanently 403'd for everyone), and the read-only write-gate 403'd `site-promote` itself before the handler could run. |
+| WireGuard gateway-to-gateway mesh (`theta-gateway`) | **Shipped** — `POST /api/mesh/register`/`/join` (join-token bootstrap), `utils/wg_iface.js` (kernel WireGuard, falls back to userspace `wireguard-go`). Verified with a real two-container test: actual encrypted tunnel, real ICMP traffic across it, 0% loss. This is the mesh transport layer only — nothing in `sso-manager-node`'s replication yet routes traffic *over* it; today's site-to-site HTTPS calls (join/export/resync) still go over whatever network path already reaches the target, same as before this layer existed. |
+| No-inbound-spoke relay (master proxies a spoke with no public IP) | **Mechanism verified, automation not built.** Confirmed with a standalone test (not `theta-proxy`'s actual Lua/Redis engine, which needs its own dedicated pass to wire safely): a spoke with zero published ports, reachable only via its WG mesh IP, served a request that an external client sent to the master's public port — the master terminated the connection and relayed over the tunnel. So the underlying idea works; what's missing is `theta-proxy` automatically creating that relay route when a no-inbound spoke registers (needs a real service-to-service credential between `sso-manager-node` and `theta-proxy`/`theta-gateway` that doesn't exist yet — a new integration, not a small wiring task), and today's HTTPS-based join/replicate still requires the spoke to reach the master's API directly (and vice versa for export), so a spoke with zero inbound *and* zero outbound path still can't join at all. |
+| mDNS local-discovery (Linux) | **Shipped** — `theta-gateway` announces (`services/mdns_announce.js`, opt-in via `THETA_LOCAL_DISCOVERY_HOSTS`), `theta-agent` discovers and applies a hosts-file override (`local_discovery.go`, opt-in via `prefer_local_directory`). Verified end-to-end with real containers over real multicast: announce → discover → apply → clean revert on disappearance, all confirmed. Caught two real bugs along the way (`mdns.Lookup()`'s IPv6 query aborting the whole lookup even after a valid IPv4 response arrived; `rename()` failing with EBUSY over a bind-mounted `/etc/hosts`, common in every container runtime) — see the commit messages in `theta-agent`. |
+| mDNS local-discovery (Windows, macOS) | Not built — needs platform-native testing this environment can't do (hosts-file vs. stub-resolver tradeoff, elevation, DNS-cache behavior per OS — see Appendix B §3). This is now the **only unbuilt piece** of the original design. |
+
+### TODO — what's actually left, in rough dependency order
+
+1. **mDNS local-discovery, Windows + macOS** — needs platform-native testing this Linux environment cannot do (hosts-file vs. stub-resolver tradeoff, elevation, DNS-cache quirks per OS — see Appendix B §3). Blocked on a Windows/Mac dev environment, not on design. The Linux side (announcer + agent listener) is done and verified — this is the only remaining piece of the original design with no Linux-buildable path forward.
+2. **Route `sso-manager-node`'s HTTPS traffic (join/export/resync) over the WireGuard mesh** instead of the open internet, now that the mesh exists as its own transport layer. Currently the two subsystems don't know about each other.
+3. **`theta-proxy` automation for the no-inbound relay** — mechanism is verified (see status table), but nothing creates the relay route automatically when a no-inbound spoke registers. Needs a new service-to-service credential between `sso-manager-node` and `theta-proxy`/`theta-gateway` — a real design decision (who mints it, what it authorizes), not just wiring.
+4. **OpenBao secret replication beyond the one agent-signing key** — LDAP admin creds, JWT secret, other per-deployment secrets that currently differ per site.
+5. **`theta-proxy`/`theta-gateway` service-to-service auth model in general** — items 2 and 3 both need it; worth designing once rather than inventing a credential per integration.
+6. **Mesh peer removal cleanup** — `wg_iface.removePeer()` doesn't remove the kernel routes `setPeer()` adds (flagged in code, not yet exercised because nothing removes a mesh peer today).

-[OpenBao](https://openbao.org/) secrets store — on one Docker network. It
-does not fork or patch the components; it composes and configures them.
+Theta Suite 2.0 is a production-grade **composition repository**: it composes applications from git submodules and provides the automated first-run orchestration, secrets initialization, and container networking for a complete zero-trust infrastructure stack.

+
+## Plugin Ecosystem
+
+The SSO Manager utilizes a dynamic plugin registry (`nodejs/services/plugin_registry.js`) that automatically loads any `.js` file placed in the `nodejs/plugins/<category>` folders.
+
+### Discovery Plugins
+Discovery plugins (e.g., `nmap.js`, `proxmox.js`, `docker.js`) run on a defined cron schedule to sync external assets into the centralized directory catalog.
+
+### Messaging Plugins
+Messaging plugins (e.g., `twilio.js`, `webhook.js`) provide on-demand delivery capabilities for alerts, 2FA tokens, and notifications. 
+- **Universal REST Webhook:** Sends custom JSON payloads to platforms like Slack, Teams, or custom API endpoints securely.
+  - *Discord Example:* To send alerts to a Discord channel, create a new plugin instance of type "Universal REST Webhook". Set the **Webhook URL** to your Discord webhook URL (e.g., `https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...`), the **HTTP Method** to `POST`, and the **Payload Template** to `{"content": "Alert for {{to}}: {{message}}"}`. Leave the Headers and API Secret blank.
+- **Twilio SMS:** Sends standard SMS codes.
+- **Fallback:** If no messaging plugins are enabled, the system falls back to the legacy `voipms` integration configured in the SSO secrets.
+
+Secrets belonging to plugins are automatically pushed to OpenBao (`secret/plugins/<id>/conf`) and are never written to the local database, following the global secrets architecture.

+screenshots or demos, so every future pass seeds the *same* data and a
+screenshot diff only shows what actually changed in the UI — not incidental
+differences in who/what happened to exist that day.
+
+Persona: a single admin/power-user running theta42 across a **big homelab and
+a small business** — mix of self-hosted infra (Proxmox, Pi-hole, Plex) and
+office-y apps (invoicing, helpdesk, wiki) with real department structure.
+
+Domain: `laptop-dev.vm42.us` (real public DNS pointing at this machine — see
+"Domain" below). Update this doc if the domain ever changes again.

+
+Idempotent — re-running skips anything that already exists. If you add a
+fixture below, add it to `bootstrap/seed-demo-users.sh` too and keep the two
+in sync.
+
+## Proxy hosts
+
+All under `*.laptop-dev.vm42.us`. `setup.sh` itself creates the first two
+(sso, proxy) — everything else below is added by hand through Hosts → Add
+host (Proxy UI, currently no seed script — see note at the bottom).
+
+| Host | Target | Auth | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `sso` | `sso-manager:3001` | — | created by `setup.sh` |
+| `proxy` | `127.0.0.1:3000` | — | created by `setup.sh` |

+| `pbs` | `10.0.10.6:8007` (HTTPS) | Basic — realm "Proxmox Backup Server", user `dkim` | |
+| `grafana` | `10.0.10.12:3000` + LB target `10.0.10.13:3000` | SSO — group `engineering` | load-balancing example |
+| `nextcloud` | `10.0.10.20:80` | SSO — any authenticated user | empty allow-lists |
+| `ha` | `10.0.10.30:8123` | Basic — realm "Home Assistant", user `jwilson` | |
+| `jenkins` | `10.0.10.40:8080` | SSO — group `engineering` | |
+| `gitea` | `10.0.10.41:3000` | Off (public) | has its own login |
+| `plex` | `10.0.10.50:32400` | Off (public) | has its own login |
+| `nas` | `10.0.10.60:5001` (HTTPS) | Basic — realm "Synology NAS", user `jwilson` | |
+| `pihole` | `10.0.10.61:80` | Basic — realm "Pi-hole Admin", user `dkim` | |
+| `wiki` | `10.0.10.70:3000` | SSO — any authenticated user | |
+| `invoices` | `10.0.10.80:8000` | SSO — group `finance` | small-business flavor |
+| `helpdesk` | `10.0.10.81:3000` | SSO — group `support` | small-business flavor |
+
+Basic-auth passwords used: `dkim:HomeLab!2024`, `schen:Engineering!24`,
+`jwilson:HomeOwner!24`.
+
+## Domain
+
+`CFG_DOMAIN=laptop-dev.vm42.us` in `setup.env`, real public DNS (CNAME
+through `718it.biz`) that resolves back to this machine. `CFG_LDAPS_HOST`
+is pinned to the LAN IP of the interface holding the default route
+(`ip route get 1.1.1.1`), not just any active interface — this machine had
+two (wifi + USB ethernet) and only one was actually externally reachable
+through the existing port-forward/prod-proxy setup.
+
+A production reverse proxy in front of this host handles TLS/ACME for
+`*.718it.biz`-family domains (to avoid hitting Let's Encrypt's rate limits
+re-provisioning a cert every time this dev stack rebuilds) — if a fresh
+rebuild's Host records don't resolve correctly from the public domain right
+after `setup.sh`, that's the layer to check, not this stack's own nginx/lua
+routing. `curl -sk -D - https://sso.laptop-dev.vm42.us/` from the host
+machine is the fastest way to confirm whether the issue is server-side.
+
+## Known-good login shortcuts
+
+Skip SSO's self-signed-cert dance entirely for admin/screenshot work — every
+app ships a local anti-lockout admin account for exactly this:
+
+```sh
+# SSO Manager admin (bootstrap account, uid "admin")
+node -e "console.log(require('./config/sso-secrets.js').bootstrap.adminPass)"
+
+# Proxy — username proxyadmin2
+node -e "console.log(require('./config/proxy-secrets.js').auth.localAdminPass)"
+
+# Jump-host — username jumpadmin
+node -e "console.log(require('./config/jump-secrets.js').auth.localAdminPass)"
+```
+
+Ports (from `setup.env` — check it, these are operator-configurable):
+SSO `3001`, Proxy management UI `3010` (`MGMT_PORT`), Jump-host `3002`.
+
+A freshly-bootstrapped `admin` account hits the onboarding flow (accept ToS,
+enter a DOB) before the rest of the UI is usable — expect that on a stack
+that was just rebuilt from scratch.
+
+## Jump-host access (SSO Directory resource)
+
+Jump-host's dashboard ("Hosts you can reach") is **not** driven by Proxy's
+Host records — it resolves access via the SSO Manager's own Directory
+(`kind: host` resources), filtered by the logged-in user's LDAP group
+membership. This is a completely separate system from Proxy's HTTP-routing
+hosts above; a Proxy host existing does not make it SSH-reachable through
+jump-host.
+
+For a `dkim`-can-reach-something screenshot, one Directory host resource was
+added:
+
+- **Directory → Add Resource**: name `proxmox-node`, kind `Host`, IP
+  `10.0.10.5`, parent resource `local (site_local)`.
+- **Associated LDAP Groups → `site_local_host_proxmox-node_access` →
+  Members → Add member → `dkim`** (added the individual user directly, not
+  the `engineering` group — the resource's own auto-generated `_access`
+  group's member picker only offers individual users).
+
+To reproduce: repeat those two steps for `proxmox-node` if it's missing, or
+add more Directory host resources the same way for a richer "Hosts you can
+reach" list.
+
+**To screenshot as a real fixture user** (not the `jumpadmin` local
+anti-lockout admin, whose "My hosts" list is always non-empty by virtue of
+infra ownership, not a real access grant): log out, click "Log in with
+Jump" on the login page, and sign in as `dkim` / `DemoPass123!` through the
+real SSO flow. This exercises the actual OIDC redirect through
+`sso.laptop-dev.vm42.us` — by this point in the session it worked cleanly in
+the browser; if it doesn't (stale cookies/redirect loop from an earlier bad
+state), see `docs/screenshots.md` §2 for the fallback.
+
+## What's not yet automated
+
+Proxy hosts are still added by hand (no `seed-demo-hosts.sh` equivalent) —
+the Proxy UI has no simple LDIF-style bulk-import path the way LDAP does, and
+scripting it means either driving the browser or reverse-engineering the
+session-cookie login flow for curl. If this list changes often enough to be
+annoying, that's the next thing worth building — a small node script run via
+`docker compose exec proxy node ...` calling the `Host` model directly,
+mirroring how `setup.sh`'s own step 7 registers the sso/proxy hosts.
+
+## Screenshot workflow
+
+See `docs/screenshots.md` for the full screenshot-capture workflow
+(save-to-disk, where each doc image lives, the app.modal.js browser-cache
+gotcha). Once fixtures match this doc, only re-screenshot pages whose UI
+actually changed since the last pass — the data itself shouldn't be the
+reason a screenshot looks different.

 description: A unified, one-command SSO Manager + OIDC proxy stack for home labs and small businesses. Wires together a self-hosted identity provider and a reverse proxy with one setup.sh.

-# theta-suite
+# Theta suite
 
-The whole theta42 identity, access, and secrets stack in one repo, brought up
-with a single command — for home labs and small businesses.
+Theta Suite is your one-line solution to replacing fragmented, hard-to-wire
+authentication setups with a unified security stack. It wires together OIDC
+authentication, LDAP user directories, automated host enrollment, and
+centralized secret management in a single command. It eliminates the manual
+configuration friction so you get secure access, auditability, and multi-site
+replication running in seconds.
 
-It composes four applications around a shared secrets store:
-[SSO Manager](https://theta42.github.io/sso-manager-node/) (OIDC provider +
-LDAP directory), [Proxy](https://theta42.github.io/proxy/) (an OIDC-protected
-reverse proxy that can also look users up directly in LDAP),
-[Jump Host](https://theta42.github.io/jump-host/) (directory-driven SSH access
-through one public entry point), and
-[ldap-client](https://theta42.github.io/ldap-client/) (enrolls your Linux
-hosts into the directory for PAM/SSSD, sudo, and SSH keys). All of them read
-their secrets at boot from [OpenBao](https://openbao.org/), the central secrets
-store. `setup.sh` automates the fiddly part: registering the proxy as an OIDC
-client of the SSO, pointing every component at the right LDAP directory and
-the OpenBao token it needs, and generating hostnames and secrets from one
-`setup.env`.
+##  Who This Is For
+* **Self-Hosters & Homelab Engineers:** Anyone running local bare metal,
+  Proxmox, or private VPS nodes who wants enterprise-grade OIDC, multi-master
+  LDAP, PAM/SSSD host enrollment, and OpenBao secret management without spending
+  days manually wiring glue code.
+* **Small-to-Medium Businesses (SMBs):** Infrastructure teams that need a
+  unified, directory-driven access plane across both web apps and Linux boxes,
+  but want to bypass per-user SaaS taxes (Okta, Azure AD) and cloud vendor
+  lock-in.
+* **DevOps & Systems Operators:** Engineers who value idempotent, single-command
+  deployments (`./setup.sh`) and need a production-grade baseline supporting
+  zero-trust proxying, SSH jump-host access control, and multi-site replication

-## Why this over running them separately
-
-The components are designed to integrate — they're only useful together once
-the proxy is registered as an OIDC client of the SSO *and* pointed at the
-SSO's LDAP directory — and the domain has to match across half a dozen config
-fields, or logins silently fail. Doing that by hand is fiddly. `setup.sh`
-asks for your domain once, generates both apps' config with it filled in
-everywhere, registers the proxy as an OIDC client automatically, and
-snapshots state before every rebuild.
-
 ## What you get
 
-- **SSO Manager**, fronted by the proxy under TLS — manage users, groups,
-  and OAuth clients.
-- **Proxy** — add the hosts you want to protect with OIDC login.
-- **LDAPS** for direct binds — Linux hosts (PAM/SSSD, sudo, SSH keys) and
-  LDAP-native apps authenticate against the same directory.
-- **ldap-client** — enroll Linux hosts into the directory (PAM/SSSD login,
-  sudo, SSH keys); the host inventory shows up in the SSO UI and drives
-  jump-host routing.
-- **SSH Jump Host** — `ssh uid_-_host@jump.<domain>` (WinSCP-friendly)
-  or an interactive picker; access is driven by directory group membership, with
-  a web UI for audit + metrics.
-- **Central secrets (OpenBao)** — every component loads its secrets from one
-  [OpenBao](https://openbao.org/) instance at boot; each user gets personal
-  secret storage, and admins mint scoped tokens for external apps. See
+- **Unified SSO Manager**: An OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider and OAuth 2.0
+  authorization server fronted by TLS. Includes a web dashboard for managing
+  users, groups, and OAuth apps, plus automated invitation and password reset
+  flows.
+- **Identity-Aware Reverse Proxy**: Intercepts HTTP/HTTPS traffic to protect
+  upstream applications with OIDC login and direct LDAP group authorization,
+  featuring automatic TLS certificate issuance and automated host routing.
+- **Embedded LDAPS Directory**: A bundled OpenLDAP core acting as your single
+  source of truth for POSIX accounts, SSH public keys, and sudo roles. Native
+  apps, legacy infrastructure, and Linux machines authenticate directly over
+  encrypted LDAPS (port 636) or StartTLS.
+- **Hierarchical Directory Group & Permission Model**: Every adopted application
+  and machine automatically inherits dedicated `admin`, `access`, and
+  `capability` groups generated directly from the LDAP directory. These map
+  cleanly to real POSIX groups for fine-grained sudo and SSH privilege controls. 
+  See [Group & Permission Model](GROUPS.html).
+- **Automated Linux Host Enrollment (ldap-client)**: A lightweight host agent
+  that enrolls Linux machines into the central directory. It configures system
+  PAM/SSSD for login, applies sudo policies, distributes SSH public keys, and
+  registers host telemetry in the primary inventory dashboard.
+- **Directory-Driven SSH Jump Host**: A centralized bastion host that routes
+  inbound terminal traffic (`ssh uid_-_host@jump.<domain>`) using active
+    directory group memberships. Supports WinSCP, file transfers, interactive
+    host pickers, and a dedicated audit interface for tracking user sessions and
+    connection metrics.
+- **Central Secrets Engine (OpenBao integration)**: Bootstraps every component
+  against an embedded [OpenBao](https://openbao.org/) instance to load tokens
+  and cryptographic keys at runtime. Provides per-user secret vaults and enables
+  administrators to mint scoped API tokens for external services. See
   [Secrets](secrets.html).
-- **Self-service API tokens** in both apps' UIs, for scripting/CI without a
-  browser session.
-- **Multi-Site Support (Geo-Location Scaling)** — built-in support for N-Way Multi-Master LDAP replication across physical locations.
-- **Multi-target load balancing** — built-in proxy support for round-robin load balancing across multiple application servers.
+- **Self-Service & CI/CD API Tokens**: Granular, personal access token
+  management built directly into the web interface, allowing operators to drive
+  system administration and automation pipelines programmatically without an
+  active browser session.
+- **Multi-Site Geo-Replication**: Built-in support for N-Way Multi-Master LDAP
+  replication, allowing directory states to sync across geographically separated
+  physical hardware or remote data centers for high availability and low-latency
+  local reads.
+- **Multi-Target Load Balancing**: Native reverse-proxy load balancing that
+  distributes traffic across multiple application backends using customizable
+  health checks and round-robin strategies.

+title: Architecture
+description: How the jump host authenticates users, resolves reachable hosts from the directory, injects per-user keys, and bridges SSH — plus the web UI and audit model.
+---
+
+# Architecture
+
+The jump host is a Node.js service (using [`ssh2`](https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2)
+as both an SSH **server** and **client**) with two faces: the SSH front door
+(default `:2222`) and a web UI/API (`:3002`). It holds no user database of its
+own — identity, authorization, and onward credentials all come from the shared
+directory.
+
+```
+      ┌────────────────────── jump host ──────────────────────┐
+ ssh  │  ssh2 Server (:2222)                                   │  ssh2 Client
+ ─────┼─▶ 1. authenticate user  ──▶ LDAP (sshPublicKey / bind) │  ───────────▶  downstream
+ user │  2. resolve target      ──▶ SSO /api/discovery         │                sshd (as the
+      │  3. inject key          ──▶ LDAP (add sshPublicKey)    │                real user)
+      │  4. bridge channels ◀───────────────────────────────▶ │
+      │  web UI/API (:3002)  ──▶ audit + metrics (redis)       │
+      └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## 1. Inbound authentication
+
+When a user connects, the jump host authenticates them against LDAP:
+
+- **Public key** — it looks up the user's `sshPublicKey` values in the directory
+  and matches the offered key (handling ssh2's probe-then-sign two-phase
+  publickey auth). The jump host's *own* injected key (identified by its comment
+  marker) is deliberately excluded from this match — only the jump host may hold
+  that private key, so accepting it inbound would be a bypass.
+- **Password** — an LDAP simple bind as the user's DN. Policy is configurable:
+  `off` (keys only — recommended for a public host), `local` (passwords only
+  from loopback/RFC1918 clients, keys-only from the internet), or `all`.
+
+Every attempt — success or failure, with method and reason — is audited.
+
+## 2. Access & target resolution
+
+The hosts a user may reach are computed from the directory, not a local list:
+
+1. The user's LDAP group memberships (`(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(member=…))`).
+2. For each group, the SSO's
+   `GET /api/discovery/resources?group=<cn>` (authenticated with an API token),
+   unioned and filtered to `kind: host`.
+
+Each host's dial address is `metadata.ip` (or the hostname from
+`metadata.address`) and port `metadata.sshPort` (default 22). Results are cached
+briefly per user and shared by both the grammar path and the TUI picker.
+
+Target matching tries, in order: exact slug → `host_`-prefixed slug → display
+name → IP → address hostname. A raw IP that isn't an accessible directory host
+is refused unless explicitly allowed.
+
+> The directory auto-creates `<slug>_access` / `<slug>_admin` groups for every
+> host and service (see Theta Directory's
+> [Directory & Inventory](../sso/directory.html)
+> docs), which is exactly what this authorization reads.
+
+## 3. Upstream Authentication (PKI or LDAP Keys) {#upstream-authentication}
+
+To connect downstream *as the user* without asking them for a password, the jump host uses one of two methods (configured in `conf.ssh`):
+
+**Option A: PKI Certificates (Recommended)**
+The jump host securely calls the OpenBao (Vault) SSH Secrets Engine API to request a short-lived (e.g. 5-minute), signed SSH certificate for the target user. 
+- **Zero Touch on Target:** The target host simply trusts the OpenBao CA (`TrustedUserCAKeys /etc/ssh/ca.pub`). No public keys are synced or managed.
+- **Ephemeral:** The certificate expires automatically.
+- **Transparent:** The jump host passes `cert: signedCert` to `ssh2.Client`, authenticating instantly.
+
+**Option B: Legacy LDAP Key Injection**
+If PKI is not configured, the jump host falls back to its legacy method: it holds **one** keypair. On a user's first connection, the jump host appends its own public key to that user's `sshPublicKey` attribute in LDAP (comment-marked) so the downstream host's `AuthorizedKeysCommand` will accept it, then connects with its private key.
+- Idempotent: the key is added once; a redis flag skips the LDAP round-trip afterwards.
+- The jump host's bind account needs **write access** to the `sshPublicKey` attribute.
+- Because the marker key is excluded from inbound auth (step 1), it grants only the jump host's onward path.
+
+## 4. Bridging
+
+Once the upstream connection is ready, the jump host splices SSH channels
+between the two connections:
+
+- **shell / exec** — piped both ways, with window-change and exit-status
+  forwarded.
+- **SFTP subsystem** — the two subsystem channels are raw-piped as opaque bytes;
+  no SFTP protocol parsing is needed, which is why WinSCP and `sftp` work
+  unchanged.
+- Channel requests that arrive before the upstream is ready are buffered and
+  replayed, so nothing is dropped during the connect.
+- The downstream host key's SHA256 fingerprint is recorded in the audit event
+  (trust-on-use in v1).
+
+Byte counts per direction are tallied cheaply for the audit record.
+
+## Web UI, API & audit
+
+An Express + EJS + Bootstrap app on `:3002` — the same front-end stack and
+look/feel as Theta Directory and Theta Proxy. Login is OIDC against the SSO plus a
+local anti-lockout admin (`auth.adminUsers`), with admin access gated by
+`auth.adminGroups`. It exposes:
+
+- `GET /health` — open; `{status, activeSessions, version}`
+- `GET /api/sessions` — active sessions
+- `GET /api/audit?page=&uid=&target=&status=` — the paged audit log
+- `GET /api/metrics` — counters (total, failures, top users/hosts)
+
+Audit events and counters live in redis. Each event captures: user, auth method,
+mode (grammar/picker), target slug/address/port, channel type, client IP,
+success + failure reason, downstream host-key fingerprint, timing, and bytes in/out.
+
+## Where it sits in the stack
+
+- **[Theta Directory](../sso/)** — provides the
+  OpenLDAP directory (users, groups, `sshPublicKey`) and the inventory API this
+  jump host reads.
+- **[ldap-client](https://github.com/theta42/ldap-client)** — enrolls the
+  downstream Linux hosts (SSSD/PAM + `AuthorizedKeysCommand`) that the jump host
+  connects into.
+- **[Theta Proxy](../proxy/)** — fronts the jump host's web UI
+  under TLS.
+- **theta-suite** — wires it all together.

+title: Connecting
+description: How to reach downstream hosts through the jump host — the username grammar, the interactive picker, SFTP/WinSCP, and what access you get.
+---
+
+# Connecting
+
+You reach a downstream host two ways: name the target in your username, or log
+in plain and pick it from a menu. Either way you authenticate **once**, to the
+jump host, with your directory credentials.
+
+## The username grammar
+
+```
+{uid}_-_{target}
+```
+
+- `{uid}` — your directory username.
+- `_-_` — the separator (legal in an SSH username everywhere, including WinSCP).
+- `{target}` — the host to reach: a directory **slug** (`host_web01` or just
+  `web01`), the host's **display name**, its **IP**, or the hostname in its
+  directory `address`.
+
+```bash
+ssh alice_-_web01@jump.example.com          # by slug (host_ prefix optional)
+ssh alice_-_10.0.0.10@jump.example.com      # by IP (must be a host you can reach)
+```
+
+If the target matches a host your directory groups grant, you're bridged
+straight to its `sshd` — same as if you'd SSH'd directly, but through the
+audited jump host.
+
+## SFTP / WinSCP / scp
+
+Because the whole route is encoded in the username, file transfer tools that
+only take one connection string work with no extra configuration:
+
+```bash
+sftp -P 2222 alice_-_web01@jump.example.com
+scp -P 2222 file.txt alice_-_web01@jump.example.com:/tmp/
+```
+
+**WinSCP:** set Host name to `jump.example.com`, Port to `2222`, and User name
+to `alice_-_web01`. SFTP is bridged as an opaque byte stream, so all operations
+(browse, upload, download, rename) work normally.
+
+## The interactive picker
+
+Log in with just your username and you get a TUI list of every host you can
+reach:
+
+```bash
+ssh alice@jump.example.com
+```
+
+- **↑ / ↓** move the selection
+- **type** to filter the list incrementally
+- **Enter** connect to the highlighted host
+- **number keys** jump straight to that row
+- **q** or **Ctrl-C** to quit
+
+Pick a host and you're bridged into it. The picker only ever lists hosts your
+directory access allows — it doubles as "what can I reach from here?"
+
+## What you can reach
+
+The set of hosts is computed per login: your LDAP group memberships intersected
+with the SSO directory's hosts (via the `host_<name>_access` groups the
+directory auto-creates for each machine). To get access to a new host, an admin
+adds you to that host's access group in the SSO — nothing on the jump host
+changes.
+
+Targets that don't resolve to a host you're allowed to reach are refused (and
+audited). Raw IPs that aren't a known directory host are denied by default.
+
+
+## Authentication
+
+The jump host authenticates **you** against the directory:
+
+- **Public key** — matched against your `sshPublicKey` entries in LDAP. Use your
+  normal SSH key; the client picks it automatically.
+- **Password** — your directory password (LDAP bind). Password auth is often
+  restricted to local networks or disabled entirely on a public jump host
+  (keys-only) — check with your operator.
+
+You never manage a separate credential for the downstream host: the jump host
+handles onward authentication for you (see
+[Architecture](architecture.html#per-user-key-injection)).
+
+## First connection to a host
+
+The very first time you reach a given downstream host, the jump host provisions
+its access key for you behind the scenes. If that first attempt races the
+directory's key-cache refresh you may see a brief
+
+```
+jump-host: first-time key propagation, retrying…
+```
+
+and it reconnects automatically. Subsequent connections are immediate.

+---
+
+# Theta Gateway
+
+The SSH jump host component of [theta-suite](../). Users SSH into **one**
+public host and land on any downstream host they're entitled to —
+authenticated against the shared LDAP directory, authorized from
+[Theta Directory](../sso/)'s inventory graph, and audited end to end.
+
+No per-host accounts, no distributing keys, no VPN. The same people who log in
+to Theta Directory are the people who can reach your machines — and only the
+machines their directory groups grant.
+
+Theta Gateway is deployed as part of theta-suite, alongside
+[Theta Directory](../sso/) and [Theta Proxy](../proxy/) — it isn't installed
+or run on its own. See the [Quickstart](../quickstart.html) to stand up the
+whole stack with one command.

+
+**Direct (WinSCP/SFTP-friendly):**
+
+```bash
+ssh alice_-_web01@jump.example.com
+sftp -P 2222 alice_-_web01@jump.example.com
+```
+
+The username grammar is `{uid}_-_{target}` — `target` is a directory host slug
+(with or without the `host_` prefix), a bare hostname, or an IP. One username
+string, no interactive step, so it works cleanly in WinSCP and scripts.
+
+**Interactive picker:**
+
+```bash
+ssh alice@jump.example.com
+```
+
+A plain login shows a TUI list of the hosts you can reach; arrow-key or type to
+filter, Enter to connect.
+
+See **[Connecting](connecting.html)** for the full usage guide.
+
+## Why a jump host (and why this one)
+
+A bastion/jump host is the standard way to give SSH access to internal machines
+through a single audited entry point. What's usually painful is *authorization*
+and *credentials*: who may reach which host, and how the bastion authenticates
+onward without you copying keys everywhere.
+
+Theta Gateway answers both from your directory:
+
+- **Authorization is your directory graph.** The hosts you can reach are the
+  union of your LDAP groups × Theta Directory's inventory (the
+  `host_<name>_access` groups the directory already auto-creates). Add
+  someone to a group; they can reach the host. No bastion-side allow-list to
+  maintain.
+- **Onward auth is automatic.** Theta Gateway holds one key and injects its
+  public half into your `sshPublicKey` on first use, then connects downstream
+  **as you**. Downstream hosts already serve keys from LDAP (via
+  ldap-client's `AuthorizedKeysCommand`), so nothing downstream needs
+  configuring.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Username-grammar routing** (`uid_-_target`) — straight-through to the host,
+  SFTP included (WinSCP works)
+- **Interactive TUI host picker** on plain login, scoped to your access
+- **LDAP inbound auth** — public key or password (keys-only policy recommended
+  for a public host)
+- **Directory-driven access** — reachable hosts come from the Theta Directory
+  inventory, not a static list
+- **Per-user key injection** — no downstream changes, no key distribution
+- **Shell, exec, and SFTP** bridging
+- **WireGuard mesh routing** — cross-site network access alongside SSH
+- **Web UI + HTTP API** for auditing and metrics — active sessions, a searchable
+  audit log, per-user/per-host counters
+- **Full audit trail** — who, target, method, result, bytes, duration, and the

+title: API Reference
+description: The proxy's management REST API — hosts, DNS providers, users, groups, and permissions.
+---
+
+# API Documentation
+
+[← Back to Home](index.html)
+
+All API endpoints require authentication unless otherwise noted. Three
+authentication methods are supported:
+
+- **`auth-token` header** — a browser-session token from `POST /api/auth/login`
+  or the OIDC flow (below).
+- **`Authorization: Bearer <token>` header** — a self-service API token (PAT,
+  see [API Tokens](#api-tokens)), for scripts/CI without a browser session.
+- **OIDC (browser)** — if the proxy is configured as an OIDC client of an SSO
+  (`app_oidc__*` / `conf.oidc`, see [DEPLOYMENT.md](https://github.com/theta42/proxy/blob/master/DEPLOYMENT.md)),
+  users can log in via `GET /api/auth/oidc/start` instead of posting a
+  username/password.
+
+The proxy can also be configured as a **direct LDAP client** (`app_ldap__*` /
+`conf.ldap`) for looking up/validating users, independent of the OIDC flow —
+see DEPLOYMENT.md for the full configuration reference.
+
+Authenticated requests also carry **RBAC** (role-based access control):
+global admins can manage everything; other users are scoped to `viewer` or
+`manager` rights on specific domains via [Permissions](#permissions) and
+[Groups](#groups).
+
+Base URL: `https://your-proxy-host.com/api`
+
+---
+
+## Authentication
+
+### Login
+
+**POST** `/api/auth/login`
+
+Authenticate a user and receive an auth token.
+
+```bash
+curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -X POST \
+  -d '{"username": "myuser", "password": "mypassword"}' \
+  https://proxy-host.com/api/auth/login
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `200` `{"login": true, "token": "027d3964-7d81-4462-a6f9-2c1f9b40b4be", "message": "myuser logged in!"}`
+- `401` `{"name": "LoginFailed", "message": "Invalid Credentials, login failed."}`
+
+### Logout
+
+**ALL** `/api/auth/logout`
+
+Invalidate the current auth token.
+
+```bash
+curl -H "auth-token: your-token-here" \
+  -X POST \
+  https://proxy-host.com/api/auth/logout
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `200` `{"message": "Bye"}`
+
+### OIDC Login (start)
+
+**GET** `/api/auth/oidc/start`
+
+Begin the OIDC authorization-code flow: creates a PKCE + state challenge and
+redirects the browser to the configured SSO's authorize endpoint. Only
+available when `conf.oidc.enabled` is true.
+
+**Query Parameters:**
+- `redirect` - Internal path to return to after login (optional; sanitized to same-origin)
+
+```bash
+curl -i "https://proxy-host.com/api/auth/oidc/start?redirect=/hosts"
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `302` Redirect to the SSO's authorization endpoint
+- `404` `{"name": "OidcDisabled", "message": "OIDC login is not enabled."}`
+
+### OIDC Callback
+
+**GET** `/api/auth/oidc/callback`
+
+Redirect target for the SSO after login. Validates the one-time `state`,
+exchanges the authorization `code` for tokens, reads identity from the
+userinfo endpoint, establishes a session, and redirects the browser back to
+the login page with the app's own `auth-token` in a URL fragment.
+
+**Query Parameters:**
+- `code` (required) - Authorization code from the SSO
+- `state` (required) - State value from the `start` step
+
+```bash
+# Not called directly — the SSO redirects the browser here after login.
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `302` Redirect to `/login#token=...&redirect=...`
+- `400` `{"name": "OidcCallbackInvalid", "message": "Missing code or state."}` or expired/unknown state
+
+---
+
+## API Tokens
+
+Self-service personal access tokens (PATs) for scripting/CI without a browser
+session. Every endpoint is owner-scoped: a user only sees/manages tokens they
+created. Mounted at `/api/api-token`.
+
+### List API Tokens
+
+**GET** `/api/api-token`
+
+List the current user's API tokens.
+

+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `200` `{"results": [{"id": "...", "name": "ci", ...}, ...]}`
+
+### Create API Token
+
+**POST** `/api/api-token`
+
+Create a new API token. The raw token string is only returned once, at
+creation.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `name` (required) - Display name
+- `description` (optional)
+- `expires_in_days` (optional) - `0` or omitted means no expiry
+
+```bash
+curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "auth-token: your-token-here" \
+  -X POST \
+  -d '{"name": "ci", "expires_in_days": 90}' \
+  https://proxy-host.com/api/api-token
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `200` `{"results": {...}, "token": "prx_<id>_<secret>", "message": "API token 'ci' created. Save it now — it will not be shown again."}`
+
+### Get API Token
+
+**GET** `/api/api-token/:id`
+
+Get a token's metadata (not the raw secret, which is never stored/returned again).
+
+```bash
+curl -H "auth-token: your-token-here" \
+  https://proxy-host.com/api/api-token/<id>
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `200` `{"results": {...}}`

+curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "auth-token: your-token-here" \
+  -X PUT \
+  -d '{"name": "ci-updated"}' \
+  https://proxy-host.com/api/api-token/<id>
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `200` `{"results": {...}, "message": "API token 'ci-updated' updated."}`
+
+### Delete (Revoke) API Token
+
+**DELETE** `/api/api-token/:id`
+
+Revoke a token immediately.
+
+```bash
+curl -H "auth-token: your-token-here" \
+  -X DELETE \
+  https://proxy-host.com/api/api-token/<id>
+```
+
+**Responses:**
+- `200` `{"id": "<id>", "message": "API token 'ci' revoked."}`
+
+### Rotate API Token
+
+**POST** `/api/api-token/:id/rotate`
+
+Issue a new secret for an existing token (same id, new raw value shown once).
+
+```bash
+curl -H "auth-token: your-token-here" \
+  -X POST \
+  https://proxy-host.com/api/api-token/<id>/rotate
+```

+```
+
+### Redis (Data Store)
+
+**ORM:** [model-redis](https://www.npmjs.com/package/model-redis) - A lightweight Redis ORM for Node.js with schema validation, relationships, and automatic key management.
+
+**Stored Data:**
+- Host configurations (domain, IP, port, SSL settings)
+- User accounts and hashed passwords
+- Authentication tokens
+- SSL certificates (for wildcard domains)
+- DNS provider credentials
+- Domain-to-provider mappings
+
+**Key Prefixes:**
+```
+proxy_Host_<hostname>           # Host configuration
+proxy_User_<username>           # User account
+proxy_AuthToken_<token>         # Auth tokens
+proxy_DnsProvider_<id>          # DNS provider
+proxy_Domain_<domain>           # Domain info
+<hostname>:latest               # SSL certificate cache
+```
+
+## Request Flow
+
+### Standard HTTP/HTTPS Request
+
+1. **Client** sends HTTPS request to `app.example.com`
+2. **OpenResty** receives request, terminates SSL
+3. **Lua script** (`targetinfo.lua`) queries **Redis first** for host config
+4. If **found in Redis**, jump to step 7 (Node.js not involved)
+5. If **not in Redis**, Lua queries Node.js via Unix socket as fallback
+6. **Node.js** performs host lookup (supports wildcards), caches result in Redis
+7. **OpenResty** proxies request to backend service using target IP and port
+8. **Response** proxied back to client
+
+**Resilience**: If Node.js goes down, all hosts already cached in Redis continue to work. Only new/uncached hosts will fail until Node.js recovers.
+
+### Wildcard SSL Certificate Request
+
+1. **User** creates wildcard host (`*.example.com`) via API
+2. **Node.js** validates domain has DNS provider configured
+3. **Let's Encrypt** DNS-01 challenge initiated
+4. **DNS provider** API creates TXT record (`_acme-challenge.example.com`)
+5. **Let's Encrypt** validates TXT record
+6. **Certificate** generated and stored in Redis
+7. **DNS provider** cleans up TXT record
+8. **Background scheduler** monitors expiration, renews 30 days before expiry
+
+## Host Lookup Algorithm
+
+The lookup tree enables sophisticated domain matching:
+
+```
+Input: "api.v1.example.com"
+
+Tree Structure:
+{
+  "com": {
+    "example": {
+      "*": {          // Matches api.example.com
+        "#record": {...}
+      },
+      "v1": {
+        "api": {      // Matches api.v1.example.com (exact)
+          "#record": {...}
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+Priority: Exact > Single wildcard (*) > Double wildcard (**)
+```
+
+**Wildcard Types:**
+- `example.com` - Exact match only
+- `*.example.com` - Matches `sub.example.com` (single level)
+- `**.example.com` - Matches any depth (`sub.deep.example.com`)
+- `api.*.example.com` - Matches `api.v1.example.com`, `api.v2.example.com`
+
+## Security Architecture
+
+### Authentication Flow
+
+1. User sends credentials to `/api/auth/login`
+2. Credentials validated against stored hash (bcrypt)
+3. Token generated and stored in Redis with TTL
+4. Token returned to client
+5. Subsequent requests include token in `auth-token` header
+6. Middleware validates token before processing request
+
+### SSL Certificate Security
+
+- **Private keys** stored only in Redis (memory/disk based on config)
+- **Fallback certificates** used when SNI unavailable
+- **Let's Encrypt** rate limiting respected
+- **DNS provider credentials** marked as `isPrivate` (not returned in API)
+
+### Unix Socket Communication
+
+- Socket file: `/var/run/proxy_lookup.socket`
+- Permissions: `777` (container-safe, single-use deployment)
+- Protocol: JSON over Unix stream socket
+- Buffer handling: Accumulates partial messages until complete JSON
+
+## Performance Optimizations
+
+### Caching Strategy
+
+The system uses a multi-tier caching approach:
+
+1. **Redis (L1 Cache)** - OpenResty checks Redis FIRST for every request
+   - Primary host configuration storage
+   - Survives Node.js restarts/failures
+   - Shared across all OpenResty workers
+
+2. **Node.js Lookup Tree (L2 Cache)** - In-memory host lookup with wildcard matching
+   - Only queried when Redis has no entry
+   - Rebuilt automatically when hosts change
+   - Supports complex wildcard resolution
+
+3. **Wildcard Parent Caching** - Resolved wildcard matches stored back to Redis
+   - Subsequent requests to `api.example.com` hit Redis directly
+   - No repeated wildcard resolution needed
+
+### Unix Socket vs HTTP API
+
+Unix socket chosen over HTTP for host lookups:
+- **Lower latency** - No TCP overhead
+- **Higher throughput** - No HTTP parsing
+- **Simpler** - Direct JSON communication
+- **Secure** - Filesystem permissions, no network exposure
+
+## Scalability Considerations
+
+### Current Architecture
+
+- **Single instance** - OpenResty + Node.js + Redis on one server
+- **Vertical scaling** - Add CPU/RAM as needed
+- **Limitations** - Unix socket ties OpenResty to Node.js on same host
+
+### Future Scaling Options
+
+- **Redis cluster** - Distribute data storage
+- **Multiple OpenResty instances** - Load balance incoming requests
+- **Stateless Node.js** - Run multiple API instances
+- **Replace Unix socket** - Use TCP/HTTP for cross-host communication
+- **Separate cert management** - Dedicated service for wildcard SSL
+
+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+### Logs
+
+- **OpenResty**: `/var/log/nginx/access.log`, `/var/log/nginx/error.log`
+- **Node.js**: `journalctl -u proxy.service`
+- **Redis**: `redis-cli MONITOR`
+
+### Health Checks
+
+- Node.js API: `curl http://localhost:3000/api/host`
+- Redis: `redis-cli PING`
+- OpenResty: `systemctl status openresty`
+- Unix socket: `ls -la /var/run/proxy_lookup.socket`
+
+### Metrics to Monitor
+
+- Request rate and response times
+- SSL certificate expiration dates
+- Redis memory usage
+- Host lookup cache hit rate
+- Background service execution times

+
+# Users, Groups & Permissions
+
+This page explains, in plain language, who can manage what in this app. For
+the deeper system-design detail, see [Architecture](architecture.html).
+
+## Two different ways to log in
+
+Most people who use apps you've proxied through this app never see this
+app's own login at all — they use whatever authentication you set up on
+the *individual host* (basic auth, or single sign-on through your SSO
+Manager). This page is about a different, smaller group: the people who
+manage the proxy itself — adding hosts, registering DNS providers, and so
+on.
+
+There are two ways someone gets into the proxy's own management UI:
+
+- **A local account**, created on the **Users** page — a username and
+  password specific to this app.
+- **Single sign-on**, if you've connected this proxy to Theta Directory (or
+  another OIDC provider) — the same login your other connected apps use.
+
+Either way, once logged in, what they're actually *allowed to do* here is
+controlled by permissions, described below.
+
+## Groups
+
+A **group** here is just a named list of local usernames, used to grant
+the same permission to several people at once instead of one at a time.
+If you're using SSO instead of local accounts, group membership normally
+comes from your identity provider instead — local groups exist mainly for
+the local-account case.
+
+## Permissions: scope + role
+
+Each **permission** entry grants one subject (a user or a group) one
+**role**, at one **scope** — the two are independent choices:
+
+**Scope** — *where* the role applies:
+
+- **Domain** — only hosts under one specific domain (e.g. someone can
+  manage everything under `example.com`, but can't see or touch a
+  completely different domain you also proxy).
+- **Global** — everywhere, across every domain this proxy manages.
+
+**Role** — *what* they can do within that scope:
+
+- **Viewer** — read-only. Can see hosts and their settings, but not
+  change anything.
+- **Manager** — full control over hosts (create, edit, delete) within
+  that scope.
+- **Admin** — same host control as Manager, **plus**, but *only when
+  granted at Global scope*, the ability to manage other people's
+  permissions, DNS providers, and local user accounts. An Admin role
+  granted at Domain scope instead of Global behaves exactly like Manager
+  for that one domain — it does not unlock those extra admin-only pages.
+
+In practice: give someone **Manager** on just the domain(s) they're
+responsible for to delegate day-to-day host management without handing
+them the keys to everything. Reserve **Global Admin** for people who
+should be able to change anything, anywhere, including who else has
+access.
+

+This page doesn't cover the exact permission-checking implementation or
+how SSO group membership maps into this system internally — for that, see
+[Architecture](architecture.html).

+title: API Tokens
+description: A plain-language guide to personal access tokens in theta42/proxy.
+---
+
+# API Tokens
+
+This page explains what an API token is and when you'd want one. For the
+full list of API endpoints a token can call, see the
+[API reference](api.html).
+
+## What's an API token, in plain terms?
+
+Normally, you interact with this app by logging in through a web browser.
+An **API token** (also called a personal access token, or PAT) is an
+alternative way in — a long, random string that a script, a scheduled job,
+or another program can use instead of a username and password, to act on
+your behalf without a human typing a login in each time.
+
+If you've ever set up a script to talk to GitHub, GitLab, or a similar
+service using a "token" instead of your real password, this is the same
+idea.
+
+## When would you actually need one?
+
+Most people never need to create one of these — you'll only want a token
+if you're automating something, for example:
+
+- A script that registers or updates hosts automatically (say, spinning up
+  a new service and wanting the proxy entry created for it without a
+  manual step).
+- A monitoring or backup job that checks this app's health via its API.
+- A configuration-management tool that keeps your host list in sync with
+  something else.
+
+If you're not doing any of that, you don't need an API token — just log in
+normally through the web UI.
+
+## How it works
+
+Create a token from your Profile page, give it a name so you remember what
+it's for later, and optionally an expiry. You'll be shown the token's
+value **exactly once** — copy it somewhere safe immediately, because it
+can't be viewed again afterward (only revoked or rotated). Whatever script
+or tool you're using it with sends it along with each request, the same
+way a browser sends your login session.
+
+A token acts **as you**, with **your** [permissions](concepts-access.html)
+— if you're only a Manager on one domain, a token you create can't touch
+any other domain either. If you ever suspect a token has leaked (ended up
+somewhere it shouldn't have, like a public script or log file), revoke it
+immediately from your Profile page; it stops working right away.
+
+## Want more detail?
+
+This page doesn't attempt to list every API endpoint or show request/
+response examples — for that, see the full [API reference](api.html).

+description: A plain-language guide to why theta42/proxy needs a DNS provider, and only for wildcard certificates.
+---
+
+# DNS Providers
+
+This page explains, in plain language, what a "DNS provider" is for in this
+app and when you actually need one. For setup steps, see
+[Installation](installation.html).
+
+## Do you need this at all?
+
+**Only if you want a [wildcard host](concepts-hosts.html)** (something like
+`*.example.com` covering every subdomain with one certificate). A normal,
+single-name host doesn't need a DNS provider configured at all — skip this
+page entirely if that's all you're setting up.
+
+## Why a wildcard cert needs this extra step
+
+To prove you actually own `example.com` before issuing a certificate that
+covers *every* possible subdomain of it, Let's Encrypt needs to see a
+specific, temporary DNS record appear on that domain — something only the
+real owner of the domain could add. A normal single-host certificate
+doesn't need this because it can prove ownership a simpler way (by
+responding to a web request instead).
+
+So: to get a wildcard certificate, this app needs to be able to add (and
+later remove) that one temporary DNS record on your domain automatically,
+which means it needs your domain registrar or DNS host's API credentials —
+that's what registering a **DNS provider** here does.
+
+## What you're actually giving it access to
+
+A DNS provider entry only needs enough access to add/remove TXT records —
+it's not given your registrar account's full login, and it can't do
+anything to your domain besides that one narrow task (and, for some
+providers, keeping a dynamic A record updated if you use that feature
+separately). Check your specific provider's page in the
+[Installation guide](installation.html) for exactly what kind of
+credential to generate and how narrowly you can scope it.
+
+## Want more detail?

+DuckDNS, etc.), see [Installation](installation.html).

+description: A plain-language guide to hosts, HTTPS certificates, and wildcards in theta42/proxy.

+
+# Hosts & HTTPS
+
+This page explains, in plain language, what a "host" is and how this app
+gets you working HTTPS without you having to think about certificates. For
+the deeper system-design detail, see [Architecture](architecture.html); for
+step-by-step setup, see [Installation](installation.html).
+
+## What's a "host"?
+
+A **host** is one entry telling the proxy: "when someone requests *this*
+public address, send them to *that* server." For example: requests for
+`photos.example.com` get sent to the little box in your closet running your
+photo app on port 8080. Each app or service you want to reach from outside
+your network — a home automation dashboard, a media server, this proxy's
+own management UI — gets its own host entry.
+
+Two settings on a host are easy to mix up:
+
+- **Incoming host name** — the public address people type in their
+  browser (`photos.example.com`).
+- **Target IP/port** — where the proxy actually sends the request behind
+  the scenes (`10.0.0.5:8080`, or a hostname like `photo-server`).
+
+Everything else on the host form (traffic limits, access rules,
+authentication) is optional — a bare host with just those two fields
+already works.
+
+## HTTPS certificates: mostly automatic
+
+Every public website needs an HTTPS certificate so browsers show the lock
+icon instead of a scary warning. This app gets one for you automatically
+from [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) the first time a host is
+actually requested — you don't manually request, install, or renew
+anything for a normal host. This happens behind the scenes using a method
+called **HTTP-01**, and it's the default for every new host.
+
+## Wildcards: one certificate for a whole family of hosts
+
+Sometimes you want *every* subdomain under one name to work — `app1.`,
+`app2.`, `anything.example.com` — without registering each one by hand and
+waiting for its own certificate. That's what a **wildcard** host does: a
+single host entry named `*.example.com` gets one certificate that covers
+the whole family at once. Setting one up needs one extra piece of
+information the automatic method above doesn't need — see
+[DNS Providers](concepts-dns.html) for why.
+
+Once a wildcard exists, you have two ways to actually use it:
+
+- **Register nothing else, and turn on "Match any subdomain"** on the
+  wildcard host itself — *any* subdomain that doesn't already have its own
+  entry gets automatically routed to the wildcard's target the first time
+  it's requested. Convenient, but it means literal typos and random scan
+  traffic get routed too, not just the subdomains you meant to use.
+- **Register each subdomain as its own host, as a "Parent Wildcard"
+  child** — more setup, but each subdomain can point at a different
+  target/server while still reusing the one wildcard certificate instead
+  of getting its own. This is the recommended default and is what
+  "Match only subdomains defined here" (the host form's default) does.
+
+You'll see the **"Parent Wildcard"** option light up automatically on the
+host form whenever the name you're entering already has a matching
+wildcard available to reuse — including the wildcard's own bare base
+domain (e.g. `example.com` itself, not just `something.example.com`).
+
+## Load Balancing
+
+If you have multiple servers running the same application, you can load balance traffic across them. When editing a host, you can specify **Additional Targets** (one `IP:port` per line). The proxy will automatically distribute incoming requests across your primary target and all additional targets using a round-robin strategy, providing simple high availability and load distribution without extra configuration.
+
+## Want more detail?

+and the exact install steps. For those, see

+# Contributing Guide
+
+[← Back to Home](index.html)
+
+Thank you for considering contributing to the Proxy project! This guide will help you get started.
+
+## Development Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 18+ (18.x, 20.x, or 22.x recommended)
+- Redis server
+- Git
+
+### Local Development
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/theta42/proxy.git
+   cd proxy/nodejs
+   ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies**
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+3. **Start Redis** (if not already running)
+   ```bash
+   redis-server
+   ```
+
+4. **Run in development mode**
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+   This starts the Node.js API with nodemon for auto-reload on file changes.
+
+5. **Access the API**
+   - API: `http://localhost:3000/api`
+   - Web UI: `http://localhost:3000`
+
+## Testing
+
+The project uses Node.js built-in test runner (requires Node 18+).
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+npm test
+
+# Run only unit tests
+npm run test:unit
+
+# Run only integration tests
+npm run test:integration
+
+# Watch mode for development
+npm run test:watch
+```
+
+### Test Structure

+└── helpers/                    # Test utilities
+    └── dns_provider_contract.js
+```
+
+### Writing Tests
+
+We test **custom logic**, not third-party libraries:
+
+**DO test:**
+- Host lookup algorithm
+- Socket buffering logic
+- DNS provider contracts
+- Custom utility functions
+
+**DON'T test:**
+- Express.js routing
+- Redis ORM
+- External DNS APIs (use mocks instead)
+
+### Adding DNS Provider Tests
+
+When adding a new DNS provider, you **must** add contract tests:
+
+```javascript
+describe('NewProvider Provider', () => {
+    const NewProvider = require('../../models/dns_provider/newprovider');
+
+    test('should meet DNS provider contract', () => {
+        const mockCredentials = {api_key: 'mock-key'};
+        const instance = validateDnsProviderContract(NewProvider, mockCredentials);
+        assert.ok(instance);
+    });
+
+    test('should have valid method signatures', () => {
+        const instance = new NewProvider({api_key: 'mock'});
+        validateMethodSignatures(instance);
+    });
+
+    test('should validate key mapping', () => {
+        const instance = new NewProvider({api_key: 'mock'});
+        validateKeyMapping(instance);
+    });
+
+    test('should validate type checking', () => {
+        const instance = new NewProvider({api_key: 'mock'});
+        validateTypeChecking(instance);
+    });
+});
+```
+
+See `test/integration/dns_provider.test.js` for examples.
+
+## Code Style
+
+### General Guidelines
+
+- Use strict mode: `'use strict';`
+- Use tabs for indentation
+- Clear, descriptive variable names
+- Comment complex logic
+- No trailing whitespace
+
+### File Organization
+
+```javascript
+'use strict';
+
+// 1. Node.js built-ins
+const fs = require('fs');
+const path = require('path');
+
+// 2. Third-party modules
+const express = require('express');
+const redis = require('redis');
+
+// 3. Local modules
+const {Host} = require('./models');
+const middleware = require('./middleware/auth');
+
+// 4. Code...
+```
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- Classes: `PascalCase`
+- Functions: `camelCase`
+- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`
+- Private methods: `__privateMethod` (double underscore prefix)

+The project uses [model-redis](https://www.npmjs.com/package/model-redis) as the ORM for Redis data storage. All models extend the `Table` class and use a declarative schema via `_keyMap`.
+
+**Example Model:**
+```javascript
+const Table = require('../utils/redis_model');
+
+class Host extends Table {
+    static _key = 'host';  // Primary key field
+    static _keyMap = {
+        'host': {isRequired: true, type: 'string', min: 3, max: 500},
+        'ip': {isRequired: true, type: 'string', min: 3, max: 500},
+        'targetPort': {isRequired: true, type: 'number', min: 0, max: 65535},
+        'forcessl': {default: true, type: 'boolean'},
+        'created_on': {default: () => Date.now(), type: 'number'}
+    };
+}
+```

+## Adding Features
+
+### Adding a DNS Provider
+
+1. **Create provider file** in `models/dns_provider/yourprovider.js`
+
+2. **Extend DnsApi base class**
+   ```javascript
+   const {DnsApi} = require('./common');
+
+   class YourProvider extends DnsApi {
+       static _keyMap = {
+           api_key: {isRequired: true, type: 'string', isPrivate: true}
+       };
+
+       // Implement required methods
+       async listDomains() { }
+       async getRecords(domain, options) { }
+       async createRecord(domain, options) { }
+       async deleteRecords(domain, options) { }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Add to provider list** in `models/dns_provider.js`
+
+4. **Add contract tests** in `test/integration/dns_provider.test.js`
+
+5. **Test your provider**
+   ```bash
+   npm run test:integration
+   ```
+
+### Adding API Endpoints
+
+1. **Add route** in appropriate file (`routes/`)
+2. **Update API documentation** (`nodejs/api.md` and `docs/api.md` — keep them in sync)
+3. **Test the endpoint** manually and add integration tests if needed

+description: Theta Proxy — a reverse proxy and HTTPS termination service built on OpenResty/nginx, with automatic Let's Encrypt certs, OIDC login, and direct LDAP access control per host.
+---
+
+# Theta Proxy
+
+The reverse proxy and HTTPS termination component of [theta-suite](../), built
+on OpenResty/nginx. It puts any of your apps behind single sign-on (OIDC) and
+can also look users up directly in LDAP — so the same people who log in to
+[Theta Directory](../sso/) are the people allowed to reach your proxied apps.
+
+Automatic HTTPS from Let's Encrypt (including wildcards), routing by hostname,
+and per-host access control tied to your identity provider — managed from a
+web UI or a REST API, with no downtime on config changes.
+
+Theta Proxy is deployed as part of theta-suite, alongside
+[Theta Directory](../sso/) and [Theta Gateway](../jump-host/) — it isn't
+installed or run on its own. See the [Quickstart](../quickstart.html) to stand
+up the whole stack with one command.

+- Automated HTTPS via Let's Encrypt — HTTP-01 and DNS-01 (wildcard) challenges
+- Multiple DNS providers (Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, PorkBun, DuckDNS — free)
+- Dynamic host routing with wildcard domain matching (`*`, `**`)
+- **Multi-target load balancing** — configure multiple backend targets per host with built-in round-robin load balancing
+- **OIDC login** and **direct LDAP lookups**, independently of each other, against [Theta Directory](../sso/)
+- Per-host **basic auth** as an alternative to SSO (mutually exclusive, so
+  it's never ambiguous which one gated a request)
+- **Role-based access control** — global admins, local groups, and
+  per-domain permissions (viewer/manager)
+- Self-service API tokens for scripting/CI without a browser session
+- Web UI and a full REST API

+
+# Updating gitpages screenshots
+
+How to refresh the docs/images/*.png screenshots across sso-manager-node,
+proxy, jump-host, and theta-env's own docs. This comes up periodically as the
+UI changes — this doc + `docs/fixtures.md` + `bootstrap/seed-demo-users.sh`
+exist so it doesn't have to be re-figured-out from scratch each time. Once
+fixtures match `docs/fixtures.md`, you only need to re-screenshot pages whose
+UI actually changed since the last pass.
+
+## 1. Seed realistic demo data
+
+Screenshots should show a believable homelab/small-business setup, not empty
+tables or `test`/`vaulttest` accounts, and the **same** cast every time — see
+`docs/fixtures.md` for the canonical list (exact users, groups, hosts,
+passwords) and keep it in sync with what's actually seeded. Seed users +
+groups with:
+
+```sh
+docker cp bootstrap/seed-demo-users.sh sso-manager:/tmp/seed-demo-users.sh
+docker compose exec -T sso-manager bash /tmp/seed-demo-users.sh
+```
+
+Idempotent — safe to re-run, existing entries are skipped. Proxy hosts have
+no equivalent script yet — add them by hand through the Proxy UI (Hosts →
+Add host), following `docs/fixtures.md`'s host table exactly (same hostnames,
+targets, auth config every time).
+
+## 2. Logging in without fighting SSO/TLS
+
+The SSO's own domain goes through real DNS + a production reverse proxy in
+front of this dev stack (see `docs/fixtures.md` → Domain) — logging in via
+"Log in with SSO" from Proxy/Jump-host round-trips through that whole path
+and can hit stale-cookie/redirect-loop artifacts in an automation browser
+profile that a real browser wouldn't. Don't fight this — every app ships a
+local anti-lockout admin for exactly this situation. Read the password
+straight out of the mounted secrets:
+
+```sh
+# SSO Manager admin (bootstrap account, uid "admin")
+node -e "console.log(require('./config/sso-secrets.js').bootstrap.adminPass)"
+
+# Proxy — username proxyadmin2
+node -e "console.log(require('./config/proxy-secrets.js').auth.localAdminPass)"
+
+# Jump-host — username jumpadmin
+node -e "console.log(require('./config/jump-secrets.js').auth.localAdminPass)"
+```
+
+Log in at `http://localhost:<port>/login` for each app — plain HTTP on the
+mapped port, no cert/cookie issues at all. Ports come from `setup.env`
+(operator-configurable) — check it rather than assuming defaults; e.g. this
+deployment maps the Proxy UI to `3010` (`MGMT_PORT`), not the usual `3000`.
+
+**Don't touch the login form if it autofills a real saved username/password**
+(Chrome profile password manager) — clear the fields and type the local admin
+credentials above instead. Never submit a real saved credential on the
+user's behalf.
+
+A freshly-bootstrapped `admin` account hits the onboarding flow (accept ToS,
+enter a DOB) before the rest of the UI is usable — expect that right after a
+from-scratch rebuild.
+
+## 3. Known gotcha: stale `app.modal.js` in the browser cache
+
+If "Add host" (or any `app.modal`-based modal) opens with tabs/fields but no
+Save/Cancel footer, check the console for
+`TypeError: app.modal.on is not a function`. That means the browser has an
+HTTP-cached copy of `@simpleworkjs/frontend/lib/app.modal.js` from before a
+method (`on`, `showTab`, etc.) was added — `curl`-ing the same URL returns the
+current file, so it's a caching artifact, not a real app bug. Fix it in-page
+without a full hard-reload cycle:
+
+```js
+// via the browser automation JS tool, in the page context
+const res = await fetch('/static-modules/@simpleworkjs/frontend/lib/app.modal.js', {cache: 'reload'});
+await res.text(); // {cache:'reload'} both bypasses AND refreshes the cache entry
+```
+
+Then reload the page normally — the fresh file sticks for the rest of the
+session.
+
+## 4. Capture screenshots
+
+Use `save_to_disk: true` on the browser screenshot action so files land on
+disk instead of just being viewed inline. One screenshot per doc image:
+
+| File | Page |
+|---|---|
+| `sso-manager-node/docs/images/dashboard.png` | SSO Catalog (`/`) |
+| `sso-manager-node/docs/images/users.png` | SSO Users → People (`/users`) |
+| `sso-manager-node/docs/images/directory.png` | SSO Directory (`/directory`) |
+| `sso-manager-node/docs/images/groups.png` | A user's profile → "My Groups" tab |

+| `jump-host/docs/images/sessions.png` | Jump-host active sessions |
+| `jump-host/docs/images/audit.png` | Jump-host audit log |
+| `theta-env/docs/images/sso-dashboard.png` | same as SSO Catalog above |
+| `theta-env/docs/images/proxy-hosts.png` | same as Proxy Hosts above |
+| `theta-env/docs/images/jump-dashboard.png` | same as Jump-host dashboard above |
+
+## 5. Where to save them
+
+Only update the **top-level active clones** —
+`/home/william/dev/theta42/{sso-manager-node,proxy,jump-host,theta-env}` (all
+on `master`). The copies nested under `theta-env/sso-manager-node`,
+`theta-env/proxy`, `theta-env/jump-host` are git submodules pinned to a
+release tag (`HEAD detached at vX.Y.Z`) — those update automatically the next
+time theta-env's release/tag-bump workflow rolls the submodule pointer
+forward, not by hand-editing the pinned checkout.
+
+```sh
+convert screenshot.jpg /home/william/dev/theta42/<repo>/docs/images/<name>.png
+```
+
+(`convert` from ImageMagick — the browser tool saves JPEGs, but the repos
+track PNGs.)
+
+Commit each repo separately, same as any other change to that component.

@@ -8,48 +8,9 @@ description: theta-suite's central secrets architecture — OpenBao as the singl
 
 theta-suite keeps **every secret in one place: [OpenBao](https://openbao.org/)**
 (a Vault-community fork), running on the `theta-net` docker network at
-`http://openbao:8200`. The three apps (SSO Manager, proxy, jump host) load
-their boot secrets from it; end users get personal per-user secret storage
-through the SSO UI; and external apps get scoped, self-contained access to
-their own namespace.
-
-This page is the operator reference. For the package API, see
-[@simpleworkjs/bao-conf](https://simpleworkjs.github.io/bao-conf/).
-
-## Why a central store
-
-Before this, secret handling was partial and inconsistent: only the SSO read
-one path from OpenBao; the proxy and jump host read bind-mounted
-`./config/*-secrets.js` files; the bootstrap wrote generated OAuth creds to
-those files on disk; and the SSO `/api/vault` UI was an ungated, broken
-pass-through. Centralising on OpenBao gives every app the same fail-soft load
-path, makes per-user secret storage possible, and lets external apps get
-least-privilege access without anyone handing them the root token.
-
-## The load path (every app)
-
-1. `@simpleworkjs/conf` **synchronously** loads the bind-mounted
-   `./config/<app>-secrets.js` at require time — the file is the operator-edit
-   layer and the fail-soft fallback.
-2. `@simpleworkjs/bao-conf`'s `init({ path: '<app>', conf })` **deep-merges**
-   `secret/data/<app>/conf` from OpenBao over the live `conf` object. It is
-   **fail-soft**: if OpenBao is unreachable or the path is absent, boot
-   continues with the file-loaded config.
-3. A few secrets are **captured at require time** (notably the OIDC
-   `clientSecret`, consumed inside `createOidcClient` during
-   `require('../models')`). So `init()` must resolve *before* that
-   `require()`. Each app's `bin/www` handles this:
-   - **proxy** — defers `require('../app')` (which transitively loads models)
-     behind `bao-conf.init()`.
-   - **jump host** — gates the explicit `require('../models')` behind
-     `bao-conf.init()`.
-   - **SSO** — swaps the old `conf_manager.init()` call (same position in its
-     existing `.then()` boot chain) for `bao-conf.init()`; nothing in the SSO
-     captures a secret at require time, so no reordering was needed.
-
-`VAULT_TOKEN` (a scoped per-app token, **not** the root token) and
-`VAULT_ADDR=http://openbao:8200` are passed to each container via
-`docker-compose.yml`. The `./config/*-secrets.js` mounts stay as the fallback.
+`http://openbao:8200`. The SSO Manager acts as management and abstraction point
+for secrets management. Via the directory, secrets can be set, cycled, revoked

-The three per-app tokens (`SSO_VAULT_TOKEN`, `PROXY_VAULT_TOKEN`,

-re-run `./setup.sh` and the `ensure_token` helper re-mints it (the old one
-expires on its own). Automated renewal is a planned follow-up, not yet built.
+Directory resources (Services, Hosts, Containers, Sites) manage their application secrets at `secret/data/resources/<resource_slug>/conf` in OpenBao KV-v2.
+
+### 1. Zero-View Security Model
+* **API Metadata Only**: `GET /api/directory-admin/resources/:id/secrets` returns
+  key names and metadata (`hasValue: true`, `isInherited: true`, `parentSlug`),
+  but **NEVER returns raw secret values**.
+* **Browser Isolation**: Secret values are never exposed in HTML DOM templates,
+  JSON admin APIs, or browser dev tools.
+* **Agent-Exclusive Delivery**: Raw secret values are fetched exclusively over
+  TLS by authenticated `theta-agent` instances using machine authorization tokens
+  (`POST /api/v1/agent/secrets`).
+
+### 2. Multi-Level Hierarchy Secret Inheritance
+Resources inherit secrets across any level of the directory hierarchy
+(`Services / Apps → Hosts / Nodes → Global Sites`):
+* An inherited secret reference is stored as `INHERIT:<parent_slug>:<parent_key>`
+  (or `INHERIT:<key>`).
+* When requested by `theta-agent`, SSO Manager resolves the inheritance chain
+dynamically, fetching the final secret value from the parent Site or Host's
+OpenBao store.
+
+### 3. Key Validation & Generator
+* **Key Format**: Secret keys are strictly validated against `^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$`
+(Standard Environment Variable format, e.g. `DB_PASSWORD`).
+* **Cryptographic Generator**: The UI includes a client-side cryptographic
+secret generator (`window.crypto.getRandomValues`) with length choices from 8 to
+128 characters. Populating the input field displays an inline security warning
+notifying operators to save immediately before values are hidden.
+
+## On-Demand CLI Secret Delivery (`theta-agent get-secret`)
+
+`theta-agent` delivers secrets on demand directly to local processes, shell
+scripts, Systemd services, and Docker containers without writing plaintext
+secret files to disk.
+
+```bash
+# Fetch single raw secret value (stdout, no trailing newline):
+theta-agent get-secret DB_PASSWORD
+
+# Assign directly to shell environment variables:
+export DB_PASSWORD=$(theta-agent get-secret DB_PASSWORD)
+
+# Export all host/resource secrets for Systemd EnvironmentFile:
+theta-agent get-secrets --env
+
+# Format all secrets as JSON for automation scripts:
+theta-agent get-secrets --json
+```
+
+**Token roles** — three, all orphan + renewable:
+
+- `sso-broker` — `allowed_policies=sso-admin`, `allowed_policies_glob=user-*,app-*`,
+  `token_period=24h`. The SSO mints per-user and per-admin tokens *through*
+  this role at runtime, so it never needs the root token to issue scoped
+  access. The 24h period is fine here because the broker re-mints these from
+  its Redis cache transparently.
+- `sso-app` — `allowed_policies_glob=app-*`, `token_period=768h`. External-app
+  tokens minted from the vault UI's Apps tab go through this role: they are
+  long-lived credentials, so they get a monthly period instead of a daily one.
+- `theta-svc` — `allowed_policies=sso-broker,proxy,jump-host`,
+  `token_period=768h`. The services' own tokens (below).
+
+### Token lifecycle — nothing expires by surprise
+
+Periodic tokens never hit a max TTL, but they die if nothing renews them
+inside a period window. Renewal is automated at every layer:
+
+- **Service tokens** (`SSO_VAULT_TOKEN`, `PROXY_VAULT_TOKEN`,
+  `JUMP_VAULT_TOKEN`, minted via `theta-svc`, stored in `./.env`): the
+  `bao-renewer` sidecar (docker-compose) renews all three every 12 hours, and
+  every `setup.sh` re-run renews them too. A valid-but-non-periodic token from
+  an older install is detected, revoked, and re-minted as periodic on the next
+  `setup.sh` run.
+- **External-app tokens** (minted in the SSO vault UI): the SSO stores each
+  token's **accessor** (which can renew/revoke but not authenticate) and
+  renews it every 6 hours and at boot — a downstream app's credential stays
+  valid as long as the SSO is running, with no renewal code in the downstream
+  app. Re-minting an app's token revokes the previous one via its accessor, so
+  exactly one credential per app is ever live.
+- **Per-user / admin tokens**: 24h TTL by design; the broker re-mints them
+  transparently, so there is nothing to renew.
+
+Worst case (the whole stack was down for >32 days): re-run `./setup.sh` — it
+re-mints anything that lapsed; external-app tokens are re-minted from the
+Apps tab (the app's policy and stored secrets are kept).

+## The theta-agent signing key
+
+The SSO signs high-risk theta-agent commands (`reboot`, `configure_ldap`,

+
+If the SSO cannot read or write that path it refuses to send high-risk commands

+
+# Discovery Agents
+
+Theta Directory supports a robust agent architecture for auto-discovering devices, hosts, and services across your home lab or data center. Agents run on a scheduled cron and feed their data into a central **Reconciliation Engine** that smartly merges information based on MAC addresses and IPs.
+
+## Writing a Custom Agent
+
+Agents are simple JavaScript files placed in `nodejs/agents/discovery/`.
+
+A agent must export a single `discover` async function that returns a standardized graph of `resources` and `edges`.
+
+### Agent Skeleton
+
+```javascript
+// nodejs/agents/discovery/my_custom_agent.js
+module.exports = {
+  discover: async (config) => {
+    const { url, apiKey } = config; // Provided by your configuration
+    
+    const resources = [];
+    const edges = [];
+
+    // 1. Fetch your data from an API
+    // const data = await fetch(...);
+
+    // 2. Map data to Resources
+    resources.push({
+      kind: 'network_device', // 'host', 'service', 'network_device', 'unmanaged_device'
+      name: 'My Switch',
+      slug: 'my-switch-01',
+      metadata: {
+        make: 'Vendor',
+        model: 'Model X',
+        interfaces: [
+          { mac: '00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E', ip: '10.0.0.5' }
+        ]
+      }
+    });
+
+    // 3. Map relations to Edges (optional)
+    edges.push({
+      parentSlug: 'my-switch-01',
+      childSlug: 'some-connected-client-slug',
+      relation: 'connected_to' // 'hosts', 'exposes', 'connected_to'
+    });
+
+    return { resources, edges };
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Agents are automatically loaded and executed by the internal BullMQ job scheduler. You configure them in your `config/sso-secrets.js`:
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  // ... existing config ...
+  discovery: {
+    agents: {
+      my_custom_agent: {
+        enabled: true,
+        cron: '*/30 * * * *', // Run every 30 minutes
+        url: 'https://api.example.com',
+        apiKey: 'secret-key'
+      },
+      nmap: {
+        enabled: true,
+        cron: '0 * * * *',
+        targetRange: '192.168.1.0/24'
+      }
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## The Reconciliation Engine
+
+When your agent returns its graph, the Reconciliation Engine takes over:
+1. **Matching:** It tries to find an existing device in the database matching any MAC address provided in the `interfaces` array. If no MAC matches, it falls back to IP address, and then to `slug`.
+2. **Merging:** If it finds a match, it gracefully merges the metadata (so your agent can add CPU info to a host that NMAP previously found).
+3. **Source Tracking:** It records your agent's filename in the `discovery_sources` array on the resource, and updates the `last_seen` timestamp.
+4. **LDAP Spam Prevention:** Brand new devices are marked as `managed: false`. They will not pollute your LDAP directory until an admin explicitly promotes them.

+description: A plain-language guide to users, service accounts, personal groups, and managers in Theta Directory.
+---
+
+# Accounts, Groups & Managers
+
+This page explains the concepts behind the Users and Groups pages in plain
+language. If you want the technical schema/attribute-level detail instead,
+see the [LDAP reference](ldap.html).
+
+## What's an account?
+
+Every person (or app) that can sign in through Theta Directory has an
+**account** — a username, a display name, maybe an email address, and a
+password (or, for service accounts, no password at all — see below).
+Accounts live in the directory this app manages, and any other app you've
+connected (Gitea, Home Assistant, your Wi-Fi, whatever) checks against these
+same accounts instead of keeping its own separate list of users and
+passwords.
+
+## Two kinds of account: people and service accounts
+
+Most accounts belong to an actual person — check **Users → People** to see
+them. But sometimes you need an account for something that *isn't* a
+person: a media server, a backup script, a bind account another app uses to
+look people up. These are **service accounts**, listed separately under
+**Users → Service Accounts**, and they're different from a person's account
+in two ways that matter:
+
+- **No email required.** A service account doesn't need a mailbox, so the
+  form doesn't ask for one.
+- **A password is optional.** If you leave it blank, nobody can log in as
+  that account — which is exactly what you want for something that only
+  ever gets used programmatically (a script authenticating with an API
+  token, or another app binding with a fixed, separately-configured
+  password you set yourself). Only give it a password if the account
+  genuinely needs to log in or bind somewhere as itself.
+
+Aside from those two differences, a service account is a completely normal
+account under the hood — it can belong to groups, have a manager, and so
+on, just like anyone else's.
+
+## Groups: who can do what
+
+A **group** is just a named list of accounts, used to control access. This
+app has a handful of built-in groups that grant admin powers (e.g. only
+people in the `app_sso_admin` group can see the Users/Groups/Directory/Overview
+pages at all), but you can also make your own groups for any app you
+connect — say, a group listing everyone who should be allowed into your
+photo server. Once a group exists, add or remove members from the
+**Groups** page, and point the other app's "who's allowed in" setting at
+that group's name.
+
+### Groups inside groups
+
+A group can contain another group, not just people — the *Nested* tab on any
+group card. Everyone in the inner group counts as a member of the outer one,
+however many levels deep it goes.
+
+This is mostly a way to stop repeating yourself. Make one `developers` group,
+nest it into the handful of things developers should reach, and adding a new
+developer to that one group grants all of them at once — instead of adding them
+to each individually and slowly drifting out of sync. The app already does this
+for itself: super admins are nested into every resource's admin group, and each
+admin group into its access group, so "can administer it" always implies "can
+use it".
+
+Two things it won't let you do: put a group inside itself (directly or round a
+longer loop), and empty a group completely — every group must keep at least one
+member.
+
+A note if you also manage the directory by hand: a group's member list shows
+what is *directly* listed on it. Someone who gets in through a nested group is
+a real member but won't appear there — the **Nested** tab shows what is nested,
+and the API's `effective` view lists everyone who actually gets in.
+
+## Every account's personal group
+
+Separately from the groups above, every single account — person or
+service account — automatically gets its own small, personal group when
+it's created, named after the account itself. Most of the time you'll
+never think about this; it exists so that, on a Linux system connected to
+this directory, each account "owns" its own files by default the same way
+a normal Unix user account would.
+
+Occasionally you'll want to share that ownership with someone else — for
+example, letting a second account also have write access to files a
+service account owns. That's what the **"Members of `<uid>`'s group"**
+section on a profile page is for: add another account there, and the
+underlying Linux permissions treat them as if they belong to that same
+personal group too.
+
+## What's a "manager"?
+
+Every account has one or more **managers** — the people allowed to edit
+that account's profile (phone number, SSH key, home directory, and so on)
+without needing full admin rights. By default, whoever created an account
+(the admin who added it, or whoever sent the invite) becomes its first
+manager, but you can add or remove managers later from the account's Edit
+form.
+
+This is useful for service accounts especially: if a service account
+belongs to a particular project or person, make them its manager so they
+can maintain it — rotate its SSH key, adjust its description — without
+needing to be a full SSO administrator.
+
+## Inviting someone vs. adding them yourself
+
+From the Users page you can either fill in someone's details yourself
+("Add new user"), or send them an **invite** — an email (or a link you copy
+and send however you like) that lets them pick their own username and
+password. Either way, the resulting account is identical; invites are just
+a convenience so you don't have to know someone's preferred username or
+handle their password directly.
+
+## Want more detail?
+
+This page deliberately leaves out LDAP schema names, attribute types, and
+protocol-level detail. If you're connecting a third-party app directly to
+the LDAP directory, or you just want to know exactly what's stored where,
+see the [LDAP reference](ldap.html).

+title: API Tokens
+description: A plain-language guide to personal access tokens in Theta Directory.
+---
+
+# API Tokens
+
+This page explains what an API token is and when you'd want one. For the
+full list of API endpoints a token can call, see the
+[API reference](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/blob/master/API.md).
+
+## What's an API token, in plain terms?
+
+Normally, you interact with this app by logging in through a web browser.
+An **API token** (also called a personal access token, or PAT) is an
+alternative way in — a long, random string that a script, a scheduled job,
+or another program can use instead of a username and password, to act on
+your behalf without a human typing a login in each time.
+
+If you've ever set up a script to talk to GitHub, GitLab, or a similar
+service using a "token" instead of your real password, this is the same
+idea.
+
+## When would you actually need one?
+
+Most people never need to create one of these — you'll only want a token
+if you're automating something, for example:
+
+- A script that syncs users or groups from somewhere else into this SSO
+  Manager on a schedule.
+- A backup or monitoring job that checks this app's health via its API.
+- A CI/CD pipeline that needs to register or update an OAuth client
+  automatically.
+
+If you're not doing any of that, you don't need an API token — just log in
+normally through the web UI.
+
+## How it works
+
+Create a token from your Profile page, give it a name so you remember what
+it's for later, and optionally an expiry. You'll be shown the token's
+value **exactly once** — copy it somewhere safe immediately, because it
+can't be viewed again afterward (only revoked or rotated). Whatever script
+or tool you're using it with sends it along with each request, the same
+way a browser sends your login session.
+
+A token acts **as you**, with **your** permissions — if you're not an
+admin, a token you create can't do admin-only things either. If you ever
+suspect a token has leaked (ended up somewhere it shouldn't have, like a
+public script or log file), revoke it immediately from your Profile page;
+it stops working right away.
+
+## Want more detail?
+

+response examples — for that, see the full [API reference](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/blob/master/API.md).

+title: Connecting Apps (Single Sign-On)
+description: A plain-language guide to OAuth/OIDC clients and single sign-on in Theta Directory.
+---
+
+# Connecting Apps (Single Sign-On)
+
+This page explains, in plain language, what happens when you "connect" an
+app to Theta Directory so people can log into it with their existing
+account. For the technical endpoint/token detail, see the
+[OAuth reference](oauth.html).
+
+## What does "single sign-on" actually mean?
+
+Instead of every app you run having its own separate list of usernames and
+passwords, they all check with Theta Directory instead. You log in once,
+here, and any connected app trusts that login — no separate password to
+remember or manage for each one. If you ever need to lock someone out
+everywhere at once, you do it in one place (deactivate their account here)
+instead of hunting down every app individually.
+
+The technology behind this is called **OAuth 2.0** and **OpenID Connect
+(OIDC)** — you'll see both names used, often together, referring to the
+same thing. You don't need to understand the protocol to use this page;
+what matters practically is the handful of concepts below.
+
+## What's a "client"?
+
+Every app you connect is registered here as a **client** — a single entry
+in the Directory representing that one app. Registering a client
+gives you a **Client ID** and **Client Secret**: think of these like a
+username and password, but for the *app itself* rather than for a person.
+You paste them into the other app's own "Single Sign-On" or "OIDC" setup
+screen, along with the discovery URL shown at the top of this page, and
+that app is now able to ask Theta Directory to authenticate people on its
+behalf.
+
+**Treat the Client Secret like a password** — anyone who has it can
+impersonate that app when talking to Theta Directory. If you ever suspect
+it's leaked, rotate it from the client's card.
+
+## What are "scopes"?
+
+**Scopes** control what information a connected app is allowed to ask for
+about the person logging in — their username, email, group memberships,
+and so on. Most apps tell you exactly which scopes they need in their own
+setup instructions; when in doubt, the default set (`openid`, `profile`,
+`email`, `groups`) covers what nearly every app expects.
+
+## "Restrict to Groups"
+
+By default, *any* account with a Theta Directory login can sign into a
+connected app. If that's not what you want — say, a home automation
+dashboard that only certain family members should reach — set **Restrict
+to Groups** on that client to one of your [groups](concepts-accounts.html).
+Only members of that group will be allowed to log into that particular
+app; everyone else gets turned away at the login step, even though their
+Theta Directory account still works everywhere else.
+
+## Redirect URIs
+
+A **Redirect URI** is the exact web address the connected app wants people
+sent back to once they've logged in here — it's a security measure so an
+attacker can't trick the login flow into redirecting somewhere else. The
+app's own setup instructions will tell you this value; copy it in exactly
+as given. If the app is reachable via more than one hostname (for example,
+because it sits behind [theta42/proxy](https://theta42.github.io/proxy/)),
+this field supports wildcard patterns — see the inline help under the
+field itself for the exact syntax.
+
+## Want more detail?
+
+This page intentionally skips the protocol-level detail (exact endpoint
+URLs, token formats, claim names). If you're troubleshooting a connection
+or building something against the API directly, see the
+[OAuth reference](oauth.html).

+2. `conf/<NODE_ENV>.js` — optional, environment-specific.
+3. `conf/secrets.js` — gitignored; secrets + per-deployment values.
+4. **`app_*` environment variables** — the highest-precedence layer.
+
+Any env var whose name starts with `app_` overrides the merged config. The rest
+of the name splits on **double-underscore** (`__`) into a nested path. Values are
+`JSON.parse`-coerced when possible (numbers, booleans, null, JSON) and kept as
+raw strings otherwise.
+
+## Examples
+
+| Env var | Sets | Type |
+|---------|------|------|
+| `app_ldap__url=ldap://host:389` | `conf.ldap.url` | string |
+| `app_ldap__bindPassword=secret` | `conf.ldap.bindPassword` | string |
+| `app_ldap__userBase=ou=people,dc=…` | `conf.ldap.userBase` | string |
+| `app_ldap__uidGidMin=1500` | `conf.ldap.uidGidMin` | number (new-user id floor) |
+| `app_ldap__uidGidReservedFloor=9000` | `conf.ldap.uidGidReservedFloor` | number (ids at/above this are ignored when allocating) |
+| `app_ldap__ldapsHost=ldap.internal.example.com` | `conf.ldap.ldapsHost` | string (hostname shown on `/integrations` for LDAPS binds; empty = derive from `oauth.issuer`) |
+| `app_ldap__ldapsPort=636` | `conf.ldap.ldapsPort` | number (port shown on `/integrations`) |
+| `app_oauth__jwtSecret=...` | `conf.oauth.jwtSecret` | string |
+| `app_oauth__issuer=https://sso.example.com` | `conf.oauth.issuer` | string |
+| `app_oauth__token_lifetime__access_token=3600` | `conf.oauth.token_lifetime.access_token` | number |
+| `app_smtp__secure=false` | `conf.smtp.secure` | boolean |
+| `app_smtp__host=smtp.example.com` | `conf.smtp.host` | string |
+| `app_name=My SSO` | `conf.name` | string |
+| `app_redis__host=redis.local` | `conf.redis.host` | string (external Redis) |
+
+## The `app_*` env layer requires conf >= 1.1.0
+
+The `app_*` environment-variable override layer was added in
+`@simpleworkjs/conf` **1.1.0**. On 1.0.0 the app ignores all `app_*` vars and only
+reads `base.js` / `<NODE_ENV>.js` / `secrets.js`. The Docker image will not honor
+`app_*` env on 1.0.0. Refresh the lock from the `nodejs/` directory:
+
+```bash
+cd nodejs && npm install @simpleworkjs/conf@^1.1.0
+```
+
+## Inspecting the merged config
+
+From the `nodejs/` directory:
+
+```bash
+node -e "console.log(require('@simpleworkjs/conf').ldap)"
+node -e "console.log(require('@simpleworkjs/conf').oauth)"
+node -e "console.log(require('@simpleworkjs/conf'))"   # everything
+```
+
+Or, inside the running container:
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec sso-manager node -e "console.log(require('@simpleworkjs/conf').ldap)"
+```
+
+`app_*` env vars override `secrets.js`, which overrides `base.js` — if a value
+isn't what you expect, check those layers in that order.
+
+## Migrating an existing instance to the generic defaults
+
+The committed `nodejs/conf/base.js` ships **generic** defaults
+(`dc=example,dc=com`, `localhost`, `SSO Manager`). Previously it carried
+Theta42-specific values (LDAP bind DN/bases, SMTP host/user/sender, OAuth
+issuer). If you run an existing instance off this repo:
+
+- Move per-deployment, non-secret values (bind DN, user/group bases, SMTP
+  host/user/sender, OAuth issuer, org name) from `base.js` into your gitignored
+  `conf/secrets.js`, **or** set them as `app_*` env vars.
+- Secret values (LDAP bind password, SMTP password, JWT secret) already belong
+  in `secrets.js`.
+
+## Troubleshooting `app_*` env vars
+
+### `app_*` vars seem to do nothing
+
+You're on `@simpleworkjs/conf` 1.0.0. Bump to 1.1.0+ (above).
+
+### LDAP operations 401 / "Invalid Credentials"
+
+Check the merged LDAP config the app actually sees:
+
+```bash
+cd nodejs && node -e "console.log(require('@simpleworkjs/conf').ldap)"
+```
+
+Confirm `url` / `bindDN` / `bindPassword` / `userBase` match your directory.

+title: Directory Management
+description: Managing your Home-Lab infrastructure, services, and LDAP access relationships via the SSO Directory API.
+---
+
+# Directory Management
+
+Theta Directory ships with a built-in **Directory & Inventory Management** feature. Instead of just managing bare LDAP groups for your homelab, the Directory allows you to map out your infrastructure graph and assign rich metadata to your services.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The Directory models your homelab infrastructure using a parent-child graph (e.g. `Site -> Host -> Service`).
+
+There are three primary **Kinds** of resources you can define:
+- **Site**: A physical location, datacenter, or root node (e.g., `us-east`). Sites do not require parents.
+- **Host**: A physical machine, Proxmox node, virtual machine, or LXC container. A Host **must** have a parent Site or another Host.
+- **Service (App)**: An application, web service. A Service **must** have a parent Host or another Service.
+- **OAuth Integration**: An OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect client application. An OAuth integration **must** have a parent Service.
+
+By defining this hierarchy, Theta Directory builds a queryable graph of your infrastructure.
+
+## Automatic LDAP Group Creation
+
+When you create a new **Host** or **Service** in the Directory via the web UI (or API), Theta Directory will automatically provision two LDAP groups in your directory to govern access to that resource:
+
+1. `<slug>_access` (Member level access)
+2. `<slug>_admin` (Owner level access)
+
+For example, if you create a Service named "Emby" with the slug `app_emby`, the system will create the LDAP groups `app_emby_access` and `app_emby_admin`. You can then assign users to these groups, and they will immediately see the service populate on their "My Services" dashboard.
+
+## Resource Metadata
+
+Resources carry a flexible `metadata` JSON object that can store essential context for your applications. The UI natively supports the following metadata fields:
+
+### Common Metadata
+- **Sub Type**: Free-form text to categorize the resource (e.g., `proxmox_node`, `linux`, `lxc`, `web`).
+- **IP Address**: The internal IP address of the resource.
+- **MAC Address**: The hardware address of the primary interface.
+- **Host / URI Address**: The FQDN or URL of the resource (e.g., `https://emby.home.arpa`).
+- **Production Environment**: A boolean toggle indicating if the resource is in production.
+
+### Host Metadata
+- **VMID**: The hypervisor VM or Container ID (e.g. `101`).
+- **OS**: The operating system name (e.g. `Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS`).
+- **Kernel**: The kernel version string (e.g. `5.15.0-100-generic`).
+
+### Service Metadata
+- **Internal Port**: The local port the service binds to (e.g. `8080`).
+- **External Port**: The reverse-proxy or external port (defaults to Internal Port if left blank).
+- **Public (No Auth)**: Indicates if the service is exposed publicly without authentication.
+- **External Reachable**: Indicates if the service is accessible outside the VPN/local network.
+- **Git Repo**: The source code repository for the service (e.g. `https://github.com/...`).
+- **Install Path**: The filesystem path where the service is installed (e.g. `/opt/app`).
+- **Systemd Service**: The systemd unit name for the service (e.g. `app.service`).
+
+### Who sees which metadata
+
+Metadata keys are declared in `@simpleworkjs/directory-schema` with an `admin` flag, and every API response is passed through its projection. There are three tiers:
+
+- **Public** — returned to any authenticated caller, including machine (`ServiceToken`) callers: `ip`, `address`, `sshPort`, `fqdn`, `dnsNames`, `port`, `externalPort`, `portMappings`, `isExternalReachable`, `os`, `gitRepo`, `subType`, `icon`, `tagline`, `isPublic`, `isProduction`, `requestable`, `isCurrentSite`.
+- **Admin-only** — only for members of `app_sso_directory_admin` / `app_sso_admin`: `vmid`, `macAddress`, `installPath`, `systemdService`, and the OAuth config keys (`redirect_uris`, `scopes`, `allowed_groups`, `token_lifetime`).
+- **Never returned** — `client_secret_hash`, plus any key matching `/secret|password|privatekey/i`. Stripped on every path, admins included.
+
+Note that machine tokens are deliberately *not* admins, so anything a machine consumer needs (the firewall generator reads `port` / `externalPort` / `isExternalReachable`) has to be in the public tier. A metadata key that isn't declared at all is treated as admin-only and will silently vanish for normal users — if you add a field to the admin form, declare it in the schema package too.
+
+## Catalog & access requests
+
+The site root (`/`) is the end-user catalog — the only ungated page in the nav. It shows:
+
+- **My Access** — everything the signed-in user can reach (`GET /api/discovery/me`), each card carrying a **how to reach it** block: the URL for a service, or the SSH invocation for a host. When `directory.jumpHost` is set in the config, host cards render the jump-host form `ssh <uid>_-_<slug>@<jumpHost>`; otherwise they fall back to a direct `ssh <uid>@<ip>`.
+- **Discover More** — everything else in the directory, with a **Request access** button.
+- **My Requests** / **Awaiting My Approval** — pending requests, and the approve/deny queue for anyone who owns a requested resource.
+
+A request is a proposal to join an LDAP group. It targets the resource's `member`-level group (the `_access` one, never `_admin`), and approving it performs the LDAP group add — so LDAP stays the single access-control truth and the table is just the audit trail. Approvals are idempotent: approving for someone already in the group succeeds rather than erroring.
+
+Requests are decided by the resource's `owner`, or by any directory admin. Mark a resource `metadata.requestable = false` to keep it out of self-service.
+
+## Navigating the UI
+
+The Directory Management interface provides a **Tree View** toggle that visually nests your resources, making it easy to comprehend your network topography at a glance. You can also filter, search, and sort your entire infrastructure inventory. From the tree view, you can click the green `+` icon next to any resource to instantly add a child resource beneath it.
+
+<a href="images/directory.png" target="_blank"><img src="images/directory.png" alt="Directory & inventory list view" width="80%"></a>
+
+## Slug conventions
+
+Slugs are the stable identifiers automation keys off, so the tooling around Theta Directory follows a shared convention:
+
+- **Sites**: `site_<name>` — e.g. `site_local`, `site_us-east`
+- **Hosts**: `host_<hostname>` — e.g. `host_pve1`, `host_web01`
+- **Services/apps**: a plain slug or `app_<name>` — e.g. `sso-manager`, `app_emby`
+
+The auto-created LDAP groups derive from the slug (`<slug>_access` / `<slug>_admin`), so keep slugs stable once access groups are in use.
+
+## Automatic registration
+
+You don't have to build the graph by hand — the theta42 tooling registers itself:
+
+### The stack itself (theta-env)
+
+[theta-env](https://github.com/theta42/theta-env)'s `./setup.sh` seeds the directory on every run with the stack it deploys:
+
+- a **site** (name from `CFG_SITE_NAME` in `setup.env`, default `local` → slug `site_local`) marked as the current site
+- the **host** the stack runs on (`host_<hostname>`), with IP, MAC address, OS, and kernel collected from the machine
+- the **services** it composes — Theta Directory, Proxy (management UI), OpenLDAP Directory (the LDAPS endpoint Linux hosts and LDAP-native apps bind to), and OpenResty Edge (the 80/443 data plane) — each with its address, internal port, and git repo
+- the proxy's auto-registered **OAuth client**, linked under its service
+
+The seed is idempotent and non-destructive: a resource whose slug already exists is considered operator-owned — the seed only fills in metadata fields you haven't set, and never overwrites your values.
+
+### Linux hosts (ldap-client)
+
+The `ldap-client` join script enrolls a Debian/Ubuntu machine for LDAP login (SSSD/PAM), LDAP-backed `sudo`, and SSH keys from the directory — and, when given an SSO API token, registers the machine as a `host_<hostname>` resource with its IP, MAC, OS, and kernel, parented to the site named by its configured location.
+
+## Consumers of the directory
+
+The inventory graph isn't just documentation — other components read it to make decisions:
+
+- **[Jump Host](https://theta42.github.io/jump-host/)** — an SSH jump host that resolves which downstream machines a user may reach from their LDAP groups × the directory's `host` resources (`GET /api/discovery/resources?group=<cn>`), then bridges them in. The `host_<hostname>` slugs and `host_<slug>_access` groups this directory creates are exactly what it keys off; a host's `metadata.ip` / `metadata.sshPort` tell it where to connect. So a machine registered here (by theta-env or ldap-client) becomes reachable through the jump host the moment a user is in its access group.
+
+Planned consumers (end-user catalog, firewall/DNS generation) and the model/API gaps they need are tracked in [`directory_spec.md`](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node/blob/master/directory_spec.md) §9.
+
+## API
+
+All of the above uses the same admin API the UI does (group `app_sso_directory_admin` or `app_sso_admin`):
+
+- `GET/POST /api/directory-admin/resources`, `PUT/DELETE /api/directory-admin/resources/:id`
+- `GET/POST/DELETE /api/directory-admin/edges` — parent/child links (`hosts`, `oauth` relations)
+- `GET/POST/DELETE /api/directory-admin/groups` — resource ↔ LDAP group links
+- `GET /api/directory-admin/access-summary` — per-resource group + member counts (the Access column)
+- `GET /api/directory-admin/user-access/:uid` — the reverse lookup: every resource a given user can reach, and via which group
+- Read-only graph views (any authenticated user): `GET /api/discovery/resources`, `/api/discovery/resources/:slug`, `/api/discovery/graph`, `/api/discovery/me`
+
+Access requests are open to any authenticated user; deciding is gated per-resource inside the router (resource owner or directory admin):
+
+- `POST /api/access-requests` — `{slug | resourceId, groupCn?, note?}`
+- `GET /api/access-requests/mine` — the caller's own history
+- `GET /api/access-requests` — pending requests the caller may decide
+- `POST /api/access-requests/:id/approve` · `POST /api/access-requests/:id/deny`
+- `DELETE /api/access-requests/:id` — the requester withdraws their own pending request

+# LDAP Directory
+
+[← Back to Home](index.html)
+
+> Looking for a plainer explanation of accounts, groups, and managers
+> instead of schema/attribute detail? See
+> [Accounts, Groups & Managers](concepts-accounts.html).
+
+Theta Directory runs an OpenLDAP directory holding your users and groups. The app
+authenticates against it over `localhost:389` (inside the all-in-one container)
+and exposes **LDAPS** (`ldaps://…:636`, TLS) for anything that binds LDAP
+directly — Linux hosts (PAM/SSSD, sudo rules, SSH keys), Gitea, Emby, the
+theta42/proxy, etc.
+
+## Directory layout
+
+```
+dc=yourdomain,dc=com
+├── ou=people          users (inetOrgPerson + posixAccount + …)
+├── ou=groups          groups (groupOfNames)
+└── ou=policies        password policies (pwdPolicy)
+    └── cn=ppolicy     default policy
+```
+
+### Users
+
+User entries are `cn=<uid>,ou=people,<base>` and carry the objectClasses:
+
+- `inetOrgPerson` (cn, sn, mail, …) — identity / contact attrs.
+- `posixAccount` (uid, uidNumber, gidNumber, homeDirectory) — the SSO's
+  `userFilter` is `(objectClass=posixAccount)`, so a user is "a real account"
+  iff it has `posixAccount`.
+- `ldapPublicKey` — SSH public keys (`sshPublicKey`).
+- `sudoRole` — per-user sudo rules (`sudoCommand`, `sudoHost`, `sudoUser`).
+- `theta42Person` (custom auxiliary; `dateOfBirth`).
+
+Every user (person or service account) also carries a `manager` attribute
+(the standard COSINE `manager`, `SUP distinguishedName`) — one or more DNs of
+the people who created/administer that account. Set automatically to the
+creator's DN on signup (whoever an admin was logged in as, or whoever sent
+the invite), and reassignable later from the account's Edit form. Anyone
+listed as a `manager` can edit that account (same fields an admin can:
+mobile, description, SSH key, date of birth, home directory, login shell,
+and the manager list itself) without needing `app_sso_admin`.
+
+Passwords are stored as `{SSHA512}` (8-byte salt, sha512(pass+salt), base64),
+verified by the `pw-sha2` module. The app's `hashPasswordSSHA512` is the
+canonical hasher; if you provision users out-of-band, hash passwords the same
+way or use `slappasswd -h '{SSHA512}'`.
+
+### Groups
+
+Groups are `cn=<name>,ou=groups,<base>` (`groupOfNames`) with a `member`
+attribute listing member DNs. The `memberOf` overlay populates reverse
+membership (`memberOf` on the user); `refint` keeps it consistent on
+add/remove.
+
+Note that `groupOfNames` requires **at least one member**, which has two
+consequences worth knowing: whoever creates a group is automatically seeded
+into it, and removing the last member (user *or* nested group) is refused with
+a 409 rather than leaving an invalid entry behind.
+
+### Nested groups
+
+A `member` DN may be another group's, not just a user's — that is how nesting
+is stored, with no extra schema. Everyone in the nested group is a member of
+the outer one, at any depth. Manage it on the **Groups** page under each
+group's *Nested* tab, or via the API:
+
+```
+PUT    /api/group/:group/nested/:child    nest :child inside :group
+DELETE /api/group/:group/nested/:child    un-nest
+GET    /api/group/:group/effective        direct users, nested groups, and the
+                                          full transitive set of users
+```
+
+Cycles are refused (409) rather than truncated — a loop makes "who is in this
+group" unanswerable. Two standing relationships are wired automatically: the
+cross-app `app_super_admin` is nested into every resource's `<slug>_admin`
+group, and each `<slug>_admin` into its `<slug>_access` group, so administering
+something implies being able to use it.
+
+**Resolving nesting is a client-side job on stock OpenLDAP.** No 2.6.x release
+can evaluate nested groups; `memberOf` and a `(member=X)` filter both return
+direct membership only. The bundled slapd is therefore built from source with
+the `nestgroup` overlay (see *Modules + overlays* below), and the app is told so
+via `ldap.nestedGroupsServerSide`. Against any other server the app computes the
+closure itself — same answers, more queries. Either way, **never read `memberOf`
+directly to make an access decision**; use `utils/user_groups.js`'s `groupCns()`,
+which is correct in both modes.
+
+### Personal groups
+
+Every user (person or service account) also gets a **personal Unix group**
+at creation — `cn=<uid>,ou=groups,<base>`, `objectClass: posixGroup` (RFC
+2307), holding just `cn` and `gidNumber` (the user's primary GID). This is a
+different schema than the `groupOfNames` groups above — its membership
+attribute is `memberUid` (a bare username, not a DN), and unlike
+`groupOfNames` it's valid with zero members. It's excluded from the
+`/groups` page (which filters on `objectClass=groupOfNames`) and managed
+instead from the owning user's own profile page ("Members of `<uid>`'s
+group", admin-only) — add other accounts as supplementary members, e.g. to
+share write access to files owned by this group.
+
+The SSO seeds these groups automatically (entrypoint / `install.sh`):
+
+| Group | Grants |
+|-------|--------|
+| `app_super_admin` | cross-app super admin. Nested into the three below, so its members hold those rights transitively rather than by a special case in app code — and the privilege is visible to LDAP-native consumers (SSSD, sudo) too. |
+| `app_sso_admin` | full admin (users, groups, settings) |
+| `app_sso_oauth_admin` | OAuth client management |
+| `app_sso_invite` | invitation management |
+| `app_sso_service_account` | not a permission — marks a `posixAccount` as a non-person service account (see *Service accounts* below). Deliberately **not** nested into, since it changes how an account is displayed rather than what it may do. |
+
+## TLS (LDAPS / StartTLS)
+
+The bundled slapd generates a **self-signed cert** on first start (CN =
+`LDAP_CERT_CN`, valid 10y, SAN = CN + `localhost` + `127.0.0.1`) and listens on:
+
+- `ldaps:///` — **636**, TLS (the port to expose for direct-LDAP clients).
+- `ldap:///` — **389**, plain + StartTLS (not mapped to the host by default).
+
+The cert lives on the `ldap-certs` volume so it persists across container
+recreation.
+
+### Trusting the self-signed cert
+
+Copy it out and add it to the client's CA store:
+
+```bash
+docker compose cp sso-manager:/etc/openldap/certs/ldap.crt ./ldap.crt
+```
+
+…or, for quick LAN use, set `TLS_REQCERT never` on the client (the theta42/proxy
+sets `app_ldap__tlsOptions__rejectUnauthorized=false` for the same effect).
+
+### Using your own cert
+
+Replace the `ldap-certs` named volume with a bind mount containing your own
+`ldap.crt` + `ldap.key`:
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ./certs:/etc/openldap/certs   # must contain ldap.crt + ldap.key
+```
+
+The entrypoint leaves existing certs untouched (idempotent).
+
+## Choosing the LDAPS hostname
+
+The `/integrations` page advertises an **LDAPS URL** for direct LDAP binds. By
+default it derives that URL from the public OAuth issuer (e.g.
+`https://sso.example.com` → `ldaps://sso.example.com:636`). That is convenient,
+but it implies LDAP clients reach your directory through the same public
+hostname — which usually means port-forwarding 636 through your router.
+
+**Do not port-forward LDAPS (636) to the public internet.** LDAP simple binds
+have no rate limiting and are a brute-force target. Instead, use one of these
+internal-only patterns and set `conf.ldap.ldapsHost` (or
+`app_ldap__ldapsHost`) so the `/integrations` page shows the right URL.
+
+### 1. Same Docker / local network host (best for apps on this machine)
+
+If the LDAP client runs on the same Docker network as Theta Directory (for
+example, the bundled `theta-suite` stack), use the internal service name:
+
+```
+ldaps://sso-manager:636
+```
+
+In `conf/secrets.js`:
+
+```javascript
+ldap: {
+  ldapsHost: 'sso-manager',
+  ldapsPort: 636,
+}
+```
+
+The proxy in theta-env already uses this internally. The bundled slapd cert
+includes `sso-manager` in its SAN when `LDAP_CERT_CN` is left at its default,
+so hostname verification works without extra setup.
+
+### 2. LAN host behind your router (best for separate home-lan machines)
+
+Create an internal-only DNS record — e.g. `ldap.internal.example.com` →
+`192.168.1.10` — using your router, Pi-hole, or a local `hosts` file. Then get
+or generate a cert whose SAN/CN matches that internal name:
+
+- **Let's Encrypt wildcard** (`*.internal.example.com`) works if you own the
+  public domain and can complete DNS-01 challenge; the record itself can stay
+  private/routable only inside your LAN.
+- **Internal CA** is fine for a pure LAN: run a small CA, issue a cert for
+  `ldap.internal.example.com`, and distribute the CA cert to clients.
+- **Self-signed** with `LDAP_CERT_CN=ldap.internal.example.com` also works; copy
+  the generated `ldap.crt` to each client and trust it.
+
+In `conf/secrets.js`:
+
+```javascript
+ldap: {
+  ldapsHost: 'ldap.internal.example.com',
+  ldapsPort: 636,
+}
+```
+
+The URL on `/integrations` becomes `ldaps://ldap.internal.example.com:636`.
+
+### 3. Public hostname (acceptable only behind a VPN/firewall)
+
+If a remote host must bind LDAP, put it behind a VPN (Tailscale, WireGuard,
+etc.) or a tightly locked-down firewall rule. In that case the public hostname
+may be appropriate, but the LDAPS port should still not be reachable from the
+open internet.
+
+### Why not just use the LDAP server's IP address?
+
+TLS clients verify the server name against the certificate. Connecting to
+`ldaps://192.168.1.10:636` with a cert issued for `*.internal.example.com`
+will fail hostname verification unless you disable cert checks — which removes
+most of the security benefit of LDAPS. Always use a hostname that matches the
+cert.
+
+## Service accounts
+
+A service account is a normal `posixAccount` for something that isn't a
+person: a media manager, a torrent client, a service like Emby, or a
+read-only bind account an app uses to look users up — anything that needs a
+real `uidNumber`/`gidNumber` to own files, or that other accounts join via a
+group for write access (e.g. a `stuff_manager` group granting write rights
+to a media library). There's only one kind — every account, person or
+service, is a real `posixAccount` with a UID.
+
+Create one from the **Users → Service Accounts** tab's "Add new user" form
+with **This is a service account** checked — it skips the birthday/
+Terms-of-Service fields a real person's account needs and asks for just an
+account name. It's flagged (via membership in the `app_sso_service_account`
+group) so it's listed separately from real people and excluded from "all
+users" notification broadcasts.
+
+Email and password are both optional for a service account:
+
+- No `mail` is set unless you give it one (it never needs a mailbox).
+- Leaving the password blank is fine — no `userPassword` attribute is set at
+  all, and an entry with no `userPassword` simply can't bind with any
+  password (standard LDAP simple-bind behavior). Only set a password if the
+  account actually needs to authenticate as itself (e.g. a bind-only account
+  an app uses to look users up).
+
+theta-env's bootstrap creates its own `cn=ldapclient` bind account directly
+against LDAP (independent of this app), and the proxy binds as it — that
+account won't show up in the Service Accounts tab since it isn't managed
+through this app, but it keeps working unchanged.
+
+Either way: don't reuse the admin DN, and give a service account only the
+group memberships and `manager`s it actually needs.
+
+Example bind test (a service account with a password set):
+
+```bash
+ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://sso.example.com:636 \
+  -D "cn=ldapclient,ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com" -W \
+  -b "ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com" '(objectClass=posixAccount)' cn mail
+```
+
+## Connecting a 3rd-party app or container
+
+Most self-hosted apps with an "LDAP authentication" settings page — Gitea,
+Nextcloud, Grafana, Emby, Jenkins, etc. — or containers configured via
+`LDAP_*` env vars, all ask for the same handful of values. These are the
+`conf.ldap` values from [Configuration](configuration.html), applied to
+*your* domain:
+
+| Field the app asks for | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Host / URL | `ldaps://<your-sso-host>:636` (preferred), or `ldap://<host>:389` + StartTLS |
+| Bind DN | a dedicated service account — e.g. `cn=ldapclient,ou=people,<base>` (see above) |
+| Bind password | that service account's password |
+| User search base | `ou=people,<base>` |
+| User search filter | `(objectClass=posixAccount)` |
+| Username attribute | `uid` |
+| Email attribute | `mail` |
+| Group search base | `ou=groups,<base>` |
+| Group membership attribute | `memberOf` (on the user entry — populated by the `memberof` overlay) |
+| TLS | required for 636 (LDAPS); if using the bundled self-signed cert, either trust it (see *TLS* above) or set the app's "don't verify cert" option for LAN-only use |
+
+### Worked example: Gitea
+
+Gitea's **Admin → Authentication Sources → Add Authentication Source** (type
+LDAP, "Bind DN/Password") maps directly:
+
+- Security Protocol: `LDAPS`
+- Host / Port: your SSO host / `636`
+- Bind DN: `cn=ldapclient,ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com`
+- Bind Password: the service account's password
+- User Search Base: `ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com`
+- User Filter: `(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%s))`
+- Username Attribute: `uid`
+- E-mail Attribute: `mail`
+
+Other apps with an LDAP settings UI follow the same shape — the field names
+above are the constants; only the base DN and hostname change per deployment.
+
+### Generic Docker container (`LDAP_*` env vars)
+
+For images that take a flat env-var LDAP config (there's no single standard,
+but most look like this):
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  LDAP_URL: ldaps://sso.example.com:636
+  LDAP_BIND_DN: cn=ldapclient,ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com
+  LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD: <service-account-password>
+  LDAP_USER_BASE: ou=people,dc=yourdomain,dc=com
+  LDAP_USER_FILTER: (objectClass=posixAccount)
+  LDAP_GROUP_BASE: ou=groups,dc=yourdomain,dc=com
+```
+
+Check the specific image's docs for its actual variable names — the values
+you plug in are still the ones from the table above.
+
+### Full Linux host auth (SSH, sudo, login) instead of a single app
+
+If you want a *host* (not just one app) to authenticate logins, SSH keys, and
+sudo against this LDAP directory — not just one application — that's a
+different integration (SSSD + PAM + NSS, not a single bind). See
+[theta42/ldap-client](https://github.com/theta42/ldap-client): a script that
+configures SSSD on Ubuntu/Debian hosts against this directory, including
+group-based access control and SSH public key retrieval from LDAP.
+
+## Modules + overlays (external LDAP servers)
+
+If you point the app at your own LDAP server instead of the bundled slapd, it
+needs:
+
+- **Modules:** `pw-sha2` (the app stores user passwords as `{SSHA512}`),
+  `ppolicy`, `memberof`, `refint`.
+- **Optional — `nestgroup`:** server-side nested-group evaluation. Not in any
+  released OpenLDAP (added to master as ITS#10161 in March 2024; 2.7 is still
+  unreleased), so the bundled image builds slapd from a pinned upstream commit.
+  Without it the app resolves nesting itself and everything still works — leave
+  `ldap.nestedGroupsServerSide` at `false`. With it, set that to `true` and
+  configure:
+
+  ```
+  overlay         nestgroup
+  nestgroup-base  ou=groups,<base>
+  nestgroup-flags member-filter memberof-filter memberof-values
+  ```
+
+  Flags are **space-separated**; the comma form the man page's `{a, b, c}`
+  notation suggests is rejected. `member-values` is deliberately omitted — it
+  expands the `member` attribute when reading a group, which destroys the
+  distinction between "listed here" and "reachable through a nested group", and
+  the raw values are then unrecoverable. Transitive answers come from the filter
+  flags and from `GET /api/group/:group/effective`.
+
+  One more consequence of building from master: it ships **LMDB 1.0.0**, whose
+  on-disk format is mutually unreadable with the 0.9.x in 2.6.x
+  (`MDB_INVALID: File is not an LMDB file`). Moving a directory between the two
+  is a `slapcat` → `slapadd` reload, not a restart.
+- **Custom schema:** the `theta42Person` auxiliary objectClass with
+  `dateOfBirth` — see `ops/ldap-setup.sh` for the LDIF.
+- **Directory tree:** `ou=people`, `ou=groups`, `ou=policies` under the base DN,
+  a default `pwdPolicy` at `cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,<base>`.
+- **Required groups:** `app_sso_admin`, `app_sso_invite`, `app_sso_oauth_admin`,
+  and `app_super_admin` (the cross-app super-admin group; the bundled entrypoint
+  also nests it into the first three).
+
+`ops/ldap-setup.sh -p <admin-password>` configures all of the above
+idempotently against a running slapd (auto-detects the database holding your
+base DN, and verifies `pwdAccountLockedTime` is live — the attribute the app's
+active/inactive toggle depends on).
+
+## Backups and restore
+
+`ops/backup.sh` automates this (LDAP + Redis + `./config/`, with retention)
+— see the *Backups and restore* section of
+`DEPLOYMENT.md`. The manual LDAP-only steps below are what it does under the
+hood, useful if you want just the directory without Redis/config.
+
+**Backup** (while slapd is running):
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec sso-manager slapcat -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf \
+  -b "dc=yourdomain,dc=com" > ldap-backup-$(date +%F).ldif
+```
+
+Store the `.ldif` off the host — it contains every user's password hash.
+
+**Restore** into a stopped directory. The SSO image uses a static `slapd.conf`
+(slapd starts with `-f`, not cn=config `-F`), so restore uses `slapadd -f`:
+
+```bash
+docker compose stop sso-manager
+docker compose run --rm --no-deps --entrypoint sh sso-manager -c \
+  'rm -f /var/lib/ldap/* && slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -l /dev/stdin' \
+  < ldap-backup-<date>.ldif
+docker compose start sso-manager
+```
+
+Verify: `docker compose exec sso-manager ldapsearch -x -b "dc=yourdomain,dc=com"`.
+
+Redis state (OAuth clients, tokens) and `./config/` secrets are backed up
+separately — see the *Backups and restore* section of `DEPLOYMENT.md` for the
+full (LDAP + Redis + secrets) runbook.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `503 OpenLDAP ppolicy overlay is not configured`
+
+The ppolicy overlay isn't attached to the database holding your users, so the
+active/inactive toggle can't set `pwdAccountLockedTime`:
+
+```bash
+sudo ./ops/ldap-setup.sh -p 'admin-password' -b dc=yourdomain,dc=com
+```
+
+### LDAP connection refused
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec sso-manager sh -c 'ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost:389 -b "" -s base'
+systemctl status slapd   # bare metal
+```

+description: Theta Directory's OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 provider — discovery document, client registration, and token endpoints.
+---
+
+# OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect
+
+[← Back to Home](index.html)
+
+> Looking for a plainer explanation of clients/scopes/redirect URIs instead
+> of endpoint-level detail? See
+> [Connecting Apps (Single Sign-On)](concepts-oauth-apps.html).
+
+Theta Directory is an **OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 provider**: it issues its own
+access, refresh, and ID tokens that your apps can consume to authenticate
+users and authorize API calls. It also runs a full OpenLDAP directory, so it
+can be both your SSO and your user directory at once.
+
+## Discovery
+
+The provider publishes a standards-compliant discovery document:
+
+```
+GET https://<sso-host>/.well-known/openid-configuration
+```
+
+It advertises the `issuer`, `authorization_endpoint`, `token_endpoint`,
+`userinfo_endpoint`, `end_session_endpoint`, supported scopes, and token
+lifetimes. OIDC clients (e.g. the theta42/proxy) can read their endpoint URLs
+from here rather than configuring each one.
+
+The `issuer` advertised is `conf.oauth.issuer` — set it to the **browser-facing**
+HTTPS URL the SSO is served at (e.g. `https://sso.example.com`), either in
+`conf/secrets.js` or via `app_oauth__issuer` / `OAUTH_ISSUER`.
+
+## OAuth clients
+
+An OAuth client represents an app that authenticates against the SSO. Each has:
+
+- `client_id` (UUID) + `client_secret` (bcrypt-hashed; the **raw secret is
+  shown once** when the client is created or rotated — save it immediately).
+- `name`, `description`, `created_by` (the admin uid that created it).
+- `redirect_uris` — allowed callback URLs. Each entry matches exactly, or may
+  use `*` (one hostname label) / `**` (any number of labels) as a wildcard —
+  e.g. `https://*.example.com/__proxy_auth/callback` covers every host
+  theta42/proxy fronts under `example.com`, so you don't have to register
+  each proxied host's callback individually.
+- `scopes` — requested scopes (default `openid profile email groups`).
+- `allowed_groups` — restrict the client to members of specific SSO groups
+  (empty = any valid user).
+- `token_lifetime` — `access_token` / `refresh_token` lifetimes (seconds).
+
+### Managing clients
+
+Clients are managed directly from the **Directory** tab in the web UI. They are modeled as resources of `kind: oauth` and must belong to a parent Service.
+
+| Action | How to do it |
+|--------|--------------|
+| **Create** | Click the green **+** on a parent Service to add a child resource. Choose **OAuth Integration**. The raw `client_secret` is shown once upon creation. |
+| **Edit** | Click the edit pencil on the OAuth resource in the Directory list or tree. You can update redirect URIs, scopes, allowed groups, and token TTLs. |
+| **Delete** | Click the trash can on the OAuth resource in the Directory list. |
+| **Rotate Secret** | Open the edit modal for the OAuth resource and click **Rotate Client Secret**. The new raw secret is shown once. |
+
+> All client-management actions use the standard Directory API (`/api/directory-admin/resources`) and are gated by the `app_sso_directory_admin` group.
+
+<a href="images/oauth-clients.png" target="_blank"><img src="images/oauth-clients.png" alt="Editing an OAuth client resource" width="80%"></a>
+
+## Scopes
+
+| Scope | Claims / access |
+|-------|-----------------|
+| `openid` | OIDC ID token + discovery |
+| `profile` | `preferred_username`, display name, etc. |
+| `email` | the user's `mail` |
+| `groups` | the user's group memberships (the `groups` claim) |
+
+The `groups` claim is what relying parties (e.g. the proxy's
+`app_auth__adminGroups`) use to map group membership to roles.
+
+## Token lifetimes
+
+Defaults (overridable per-client via `token_lifetime`, or globally via
+`app_oauth__token_lifetime__access_token` /
+`app_oauth__token_lifetime__refresh_token`):
+
+- access token: 3600s (1 hour)
+- refresh token: 2592000s (30 days)
+
+## Admin gating
+
+SSO admin actions are gated by LDAP group membership (checked via the group's
+`member` list, not `memberOf` on the user):
+
+- `app_sso_admin` — full admin (users, groups, settings).
+- `app_sso_oauth_admin` — OAuth client management.
+- `app_sso_invite` — invitation management.
+
+The bootstrap in [theta-env](https://github.com/theta42/theta-env) creates your
+first admin and adds them to `app_sso_admin` + `app_sso_oauth_admin`
+automatically.
+
+## JWT signing
+
+Tokens are signed with `conf.oauth.jwtSecret` (`app_oauth__jwtSecret` /
+`JWT_SECRET`). **Persist this secret** — if it changes, every issued token
+stops validating. The all-in-one Docker image auto-generates one if none is set,
+but that generated value does not survive container recreation unless you
+persist it (set `JWT_SECRET` in your `.env`).

+
+# Geo-Location Scaling (Replication)
+
+Theta Directory bundles its own identity provider, but if you have multiple physical sites, you may want a local copy of the directory at each site to ensure low latency and high availability.
+
+## Why and when to use this?
+- **High Availability (HA)**: If your primary site goes completely offline, your other sites can still authenticate users locally without depending on a WAN link.
+- **Low Latency**: Applications at a remote site can bind directly to their local LDAP server (`localhost` or LAN IP) instead of traversing the internet to query the primary site, making logins blazing fast.
+- **Independent Failure Domains**: By replicating only the LDAP directory (the source of truth) and keeping session state (Redis) independent, you prevent complex "split-brain" scenarios in the web UI. A failure at Site A won't bring down Site B.
+
+By default, the `sso-manager` Docker container runs a single, independent OpenLDAP instance. However, you can enable **N-Way Multi-Master Replication** via environment variables.
+
+## How it works
+
+In an N-Way Multi-Master setup, every site runs a fully active OpenLDAP server (`slapd`).
+- **Reads and Writes anywhere**: A user can change their password or update their profile at Site A, Site B, or Site C.
+- **Conflict Resolution**: OpenLDAP's `syncrepl` engine uses Context Sequence Numbers (CSN) to track changes. If Site A goes offline and a user changes their password at Site B, Site A will automatically pull the newest changes the moment it rejoins the cluster.
+- **Independent Redis**: Session data, API Tokens, and OAuth Clients are stored in Redis. By design, Redis is NOT replicated in this geographic setup. This ensures that a failure at Site A never causes Site B's Redis to become read-only, which would break the web UI at Site B. OAuth clients must be configured per-site.
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable replication, you must pass two environment variables to the `sso-manager` container:
+
+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.
+
+### Example using `theta-env` / Docker Compose
+
+**Site 1 (`setup.env` or `docker-compose.yml`)**
+```env
+LDAP_SERVER_ID=1
+LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS="ldaps://sso.site2.com:636 ldaps://sso.site3.com:636"
+```
+
+**Site 2 (`setup.env` or `docker-compose.yml`)**
+```env
+LDAP_SERVER_ID=2
+LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS="ldaps://sso.site1.com:636 ldaps://sso.site3.com:636"
+```
+
+**Site 3 (`setup.env` or `docker-compose.yml`)**
+```env
+LDAP_SERVER_ID=3
+LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS="ldaps://sso.site1.com:636 ldaps://sso.site2.com:636"
+```
+
+Once configured, the container's entrypoint will automatically load the `syncprov` module, enable `mirrormode`, and generate the necessary `syncrepl` blocks in `/etc/openldap/slapd.conf`.
+
+## User Locations
+
+When creating or editing a user, you can specify their **Location (Site)**. This maps directly to the standard LDAP `l` (localityName) attribute, allowing you to track which physical site a user belongs to natively within the directory.

+
+# Secrets Vault
+
+Theta Directory integrates natively with **OpenBao** (a Vault fork) to securely manage and store sensitive data, configuration, and API keys.
+
+The Vault proxy endpoint is exposed directly through Theta Directory at `/api/vault/v1/`, which safely authenticates and authorizes requests before forwarding them to the internal OpenBao container.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The secrets engine uses a persistent file backend (`/var/lib/docker/volumes/theta-env_openbao-data/_data`) to ensure high availability and durability.
+
+When the environment is initialized via `setup.sh`, OpenBao is automatically unsealed and seeded with a root token that the application uses for authentication. The root token is kept securely inside the container environment.
+
+## Accessing the Vault
+
+The Theta Directory Vault can be accessed in two ways:
+
+1. **Via the Theta Directory UI**: Go to the **Admin Configuration** page (`/conf`) to edit the application's configuration secrets directly. SMTP and OAuth settings are edited through structured form fields (not a raw JSON blob) and saved to OpenBao at `secret/sso-manager/conf` at runtime, taking effect immediately. Secret fields — the SMTP password and the OAuth JWT secret — are returned masked (`********`); leave the field unchanged (or blank) to keep the stored value, or enter a new value to replace it.
+2. **Via the REST API**: Send requests to `/api/vault/v1/...` with your Theta Directory session or API Token.
+
+### API Example
+
+To read secrets from the default key-value store, issue a `GET` request to:
+`/api/vault/v1/secret/data/sso-manager/conf`
+
+Only administrators with `app_sso_admin` or `admin` permissions can query the vault endpoints.
+
+## Namespaces and Paths
+
+Currently, secrets are maintained at `/v1/secret/data/sso-manager/conf` using the `kv-v2` backend. When configurations are edited via the admin UI, Theta Directory performs a deep-merge so that partial updates don't overwrite unrelated keys (such as SMTP vs OAuth configurations).
+
+## Plugin Integration
+
+Plugin instances store their per-instance secrets in OpenBao at
+`secret/plugins/<instance-id>/conf` (configured, loaded/unloaded, and run from
+the **Plugins** page — see [Plugins](plugins.html)). The plugin process runs
+in-process, so Theta Directory reads/writes those secrets server-side through
+the `sso-broker` token; the admin UI only ever sees masked values, and external
+apps can retrieve API tokens via the `/api/vault` proxy to keep permissions
+consistently enforced instead of hardcoding them.

-`app_sso_admin` group is ever misconfigured, deleted, or otherwise broken.
-
-It is **not** derived from any `setup.env` value, and it does **not** create a
-user by itself — the name is only a username match. To actually use the
-bypass, create a user with uid `proxyadmin2` in the SSO (it does not need to
-be in `app_sso_admin` or any other group) and log in through the proxy as that
-user.
-
-To change or disable it, edit `auth.adminUsers` directly in
-`./config/proxy-secrets.js` after the first `./setup.sh` run (re-running
-`setup.sh` will not overwrite an existing `proxy-secrets.js`):
-
-- **Rename** it to a less guessable username: `adminUsers: ['your-break-glass-uid']`.
-- **Add more** anti-lockout accounts: `adminUsers: ['proxyadmin2', 'another-admin']`.
-- **Disable** it entirely: `adminUsers: []` (global admin then comes only from
-  `auth.adminGroups` membership — make sure at least one real admin group is
-  reachable before doing this).

-## Wiring components together by hand
-
-If you have a specific reason to run the components on separate hosts instead
-of through `./setup.sh` (and accept that you lose the shared OpenBao secrets
-store), the four wiring steps are documented in both projects' deployment
-guides:
-
-1. One Docker network (or reachable hostnames) so the proxy can reach the SSO
-   internally for token/userinfo + LDAPS.
-2. Set the SSO's `oauth.issuer` (in its `secrets.js`) to the browser-facing HTTPS
-   URL the proxy serves the SSO at.
-3. Register the proxy as an OIDC client in the SSO, with `redirectUri` matching
-   the proxy's callback; put the resulting `clientId`/`clientSecret` in the
-   proxy's `secrets.js`.
-4. Point the proxy's `ldap.url` at the SSO's LDAPS + create a dedicated
-   `cn=ldapclient` service account; set the same password as `bindPassword`.
-
-`./setup.sh` exists to do all of this for you — and to add the OpenBao secrets
-store, jump host, and ldap-client on top. Unless you need the components on
-separate hosts, prefer the integrated stack.
