mixandClaude Opus 5.5 98e09fef4a health: sockets dialled, the certificate Postfix serves, "deferred" only for the queue
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
Audit 2026-10-12, stage 2c, "Health says what is served"; the pages of
ea8b6bf's mockup.

Sockets (A-38). A unix socket's file outlives a killed OpenDKIM or panel
and refuses every connect() (unix(7)); Health said "Listening" from a
stat. CheckSocket and CheckMilter's unix case now dial: refused is
"Nothing listens on the ... socket: the program that made it has
stopped", EACCES is unknown (the panel may not connect), anything else
"does not answer". The probe closes before a byte, which no milter logs:
libmilter takes the EOF as SMFIC_EOF without a line (sendmail
8.17.1.9-2+deb12u2, the image's libmilter1.0.1, libmilter/comm.c
mi_rd_cmd(), engine.c mi_engine() - its source is now in dev/upstream),
OpenDKIM's mlfi_close() has no connection to free, go-milter v0.4.1
returns quietly on io.EOF (session.go, HandleMilterCommands()). The page
polls every 5 s while in view, so this mattered.

Certificate (A-65). Postfix serves build/postfix-config.sh's copy,
refreshed by cert-reload every TLS_RELOAD_INTERVAL_SECONDS. The panel now
reads smtpd_tls_cert_file from postconf -h at its start (as the retry
policy) and TLS_RELOAD_INTERVAL_SECONDS; CheckServedCertificate checks the
served copy and, when the mounted file differs byte for byte (cert-reload's
own cmp -s), names it as Renewal: its expiry and mtime, two facts on the
card. Waiting is fine for the interval: a nearing expiry of the served one
is then no warning (an expiry still an error); past interval + 1 h it is a
warning pointing at cert-reload's lines. The notifier sends no expiry
notice while a renewal waits on time.

Wording (D-P1, D-P3, and the same for the spam filter): Sender check
note, help topics sender-check, upstream, filter, certificate - word for
word as in the mockup; the filter row's detail too.

Tests: stale socket file (Linux) refused for CheckSocket and CheckMilter;
CheckServedCertificate (same, waiting, late, expired + waiting, no served
path); intervalText; the card's facts; the notifier quiet while a renewal
waits, speaking once it is late. Stand (2026-10-15, make e2e, exit 0):
new health_shows_what_is_served - the three sockets dialled ok by the
panel's user; a certificate mounted without its key is refused by
cert-reload ("do not belong together") and the card shows the served
expiry, "Renewal expires" with the mounted one's, "Renewal mounted", and
"Postfix still serves the certificate above."; a matching pair is then
served again. go vet and go test ./... pass on the server (24 packages).

mixandClaude Opus 5.5 ce363f48dd logtail, health, panel: cite the source of what they rely on (assumptions part A)
Comments only, no behaviour changed. Each place the log tailer, Health and
cmd/panel rely on another program now says where that is written, for the
version the image runs: Postfix 3.7.11 (log_adhoc(), msg_logger_print(),
smtpd_whatsup(), cleanup_milter.c, qmgr_active.c, postlogd.c, showq.c,
pipe.c), logrotate 3.21.0, supervisor 4.2.5, proc(5). Measurements stay
measurements and say where and when; test fixtures say whether they were
seen or composed.

Where the source contradicts the code the comment does not bless it but
names the register entry (A-8 expiry, A-12 the ISO stamp no Postfix writes,
A-15 the last recipient, A-21/A-23 sasl_username, A-33 postlogd's old
inode, A-38 a socket file is not a listener, A-65 the certificate served);
those are fixed in their own commits.

mixandClaude Opus 5.5 c171fb5bc7 from-header-binding: the sender check, what it costs, its pages; guide, architecture, security
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
A message's From: line is held against the application that sends it, under
the rule Postfix holds the envelope sender to. OpenDKIM chooses the key by
that line, so until now an application could have mail signed as another
domain of the server or as the server itself.

The check (internal/milter/sender.go)
- A role of the panel on a socket of its own (SENDER_CHECK_SOCKET), first in
  smtpd_milters and strict: default_action=tempfail. The journal milter keeps
  its socket and stays fail-open. postfix-wrapper waits for the new socket.
- It reads no database: what an application may send as comes from Postfix's
  own sender_login_maps, what the server signs for from OpenDKIM's
  SigningTable. Both are read again when they change; one that cannot be
  read defers mail.
- One From: field, one address, allowed by the envelope's lookup; then no
  other name of the SigningTable may appear anywhere in the raw line.
  Refused: 550 5.7.1 naming the line, reduced to printable ASCII.
- A refusal is a send-log row with reason "from" and the header address
  (migration 0006), written by another goroutine and not waited for. The
  journal's refusals record their reason too (limit, client), and the
  notifier takes only a limit's.

What it costs (docs/plans/from-header-binding.md, Statistics)
- The role marks itself alive every 2 s; at start the gap since the mark is
  downtime, counted from Postfix's start if later and not at all when
  supervisord says Postfix is not running.
- The log tailer counts the connections Postfix turned away: a warning that
  names the socket, then milter-reject "Service unavailable" from the same
  smtpd. Seen on the stand: the client is refused from CONNECT on and leaves
  at AUTH (454), so no MAIL line is ever written.
- sender_check_days, a row per UTC day, kept a year.

Pages
- Health: the card "Sender check", the socket's row, and the cards layout -
  boxes numbered by importance in two stacks read in rows; the left stack
  polls, the three readings of the right one are swapped in by id.
- Outbound log: a refused row says why in its tag (wrong From, wrong client,
  rate-limited); the message's page shows the From: line and what the
  application may send as.
- Help: topic "Sender check", word for word the mockup's.

Found by the stand, fixed here: the names for the second look came from the
sender bindings, and a domain with a key and no application yet was not
among them.

e2e: negative_journal_milter_fail_open is gone - it proved that mail passes
with the panel down, which is no longer so. In its place
sender_check_holds_the_from_line (another domain's From:, the hostname's, a
stranger's, an address off the list, another sender in the display name -
refused; own addresses - delivered) and panel_down_defers_mail (4xx with the
panel stopped, the container alive, mail again after, downtime and one
deferred message on Health, the card warning).

Test server, this tree before the last cosmetic edits (a fixture row, a
fact's size, docs): go vet ok, go test 23 packages ok, make e2e ok (337 s).
Locally after them: internal/web/view ok.

mixandClaude Opus 5.5 baa053d250 panel-redesign: three things the first look at the deployed panel showed
Seen by the owner on the test server, on real data (2026-10-10).

  - Overview's Processes card said "7 of 7 running" with six programs
    running and postfix-reload idle. The card counts the programs that
    are meant to stay up; a one-shot helper (health.Process.OneShot) is
    left out of both numbers and named only when it is in trouble.
  - The Milter sockets card clipped its second line ("OpenDKIM,
    send-log,...") once the spam filter was the third socket. The line
    names the sockets that do not answer when some do not; with all
    answering it is their names, or "incl. the spam filter" - the
    mockup's words - when the filter is among them.
  - A real 2048-bit DKIM value did not fit the three rows of its field
    and scrolled inside it. The field is as tall as the value needs
    (3 to 12 rows).

The fixtures had a shortened key, two sockets and no one-shot program,
so none of this showed in the evidence screenshots.

  go test -count=1 ./internal/health/... ./internal/web/...: ok

mixandClaude Opus 5.5 f37424d9fc panel-redesign: the spam filter's socket is one of the milter sockets
The owner's decision of 2026-10-10, as the plan has it (Who sees what:
for the global administrator the filter's socket is one of the milter
sockets on Health and Overview). Written by Sonnet, reviewed by Opus.

  - internal/health: CheckMilter probes an address in Postfix's two
    forms. unix:/path is the existing stat; inet:host:port is a TCP
    dial with a 1 s cap, closed at once, nothing written. An address in
    neither form is reported as not checkable, never as fine. Details
    are plain sentences ("No answer from antispam:11332 within 1 s.",
    "Connection to ... refused.", "The name ... could not be
    resolved.") and never the Go error text.
  - Health: with the filter on, a third row "Spam filter - inbound"
    with the configured address; it counts in the socket status and in
    Overview's Milter sockets card. A filter that does not answer is an
    error when INBOUND_ANTISPAM_MILTER_ACTION is tempfail (inbound mail
    is deferred) and a warning otherwise (mail goes through
    unfiltered), and the row says which. With the filter off nothing
    changes.
  - Both pages are global-only; a test checks a domain administrator
    never receives the address.

The dial runs with the other checks on every request and poll of
Overview and Health (5 s active, 30 s idle, none while the tab is
hidden): a dead filter costs a poll at most 1 s, and a live one sees a
connect-and-close at that rhythm per open tab.

Not changed: fixtures and screenshots (the mockup draws two sockets),
help texts. The CHANGELOG line comes with the documentation step, which
is editing that file now.

  go test -count=1 ./internal/health/... ./internal/web/... ./cmd/panel
    ok (seven packages)
