Move the delivery log from the ephemeral /var/log to /data/log/mail.log so
the lines that resolve a queued send-log row survive a container recreate.
postlogd writes it as postfix, the panel reads it through the selfpost group
(dir 2750, file 0640, normalised every start); backups exclude log/.
Close the residual gap with a queue sweep: rows queued for over two minutes
whose id postqueue -p no longer lists are marked bounced. The sweep waits
until the tailer has read the log to its end and does nothing when the queue
cannot be listed, so a message in flight is never touched.

The delivery page was a list of the fields the send-log table has no
column for, stacked one per line down the reading measure. Six values of
a few characters each — domain, application, queue id, journal id and two
timestamps — came to a page of mostly empty rows, and none of them
answered the question the log raises when a row is opened: what actually
happened to this message.
So the page states that instead. The subject heads it and the sender,
recipient and outcome are the line under it, which puts what the message
was and how it ended on the first line. Below, two columns: what the
journal recorded on the left, as a grid of tiles rather than a stack, and
on the right the two timestamps stated as the steps they stand for —
accepted and queued, then delivered, deferred, bounced, or refused before
queueing. Each step carries its status in the panel's own
ok/warn/error/unknown vocabulary, so a colour means here what it means on
the status page. A message still queued shows the report it is waiting
for as a step that has not happened, rather than dating it with the
moment the row was written.
Under both, at full width, the mail.log lines for the message's queue id.
The queue id was printed on this page as something to go and search the
system log for by hand; logtail.QueueLines does that search. It scans a
bounded tail of the current file — finding one message's lines means
reading rather than seeking — and anchors the match on the character
before the id, since queue ids are hexadecimal runs and a shorter one is
regularly the tail of a longer one. Send-log rows outlive mail.log
(retention ninety days, rotation fourteen files), so a message with
nothing left to show says so; that is the normal end state, not a fault,
and only a log that cannot be read at all is reported as one.
Two cards abreast and a block of raw log lines do not fit the reading
measure, so the page now declares itself wide — the opposite of what it
did when the column width was unified, where it was the page that stayed
prose. The mechanism is unchanged and is why the reversal costs one line:
how wide a page needs to be is the page's own property, not the
navigation entry's.

The tab icon carries the initials rather than the two-line wordmark
because the wordmark stops resolving below 32px, but it kept the
wordmark's weights, and those do not survive the size either. The S is
ExtraLight against the P's SemiBold: a 0.90 stem against 3.40, which at
16px is a quarter of a pixel against most of one. The pair rasterised to
a P with a smudge beside it, the S reaching no solid pixel at all at 16
or 32.
It is Medium now. That gives up the Self/Post weight play inside this
one variant, which is the right trade: the contrast needs more pixels
than the variant exists to work in, and the variants big enough to carry
it keep it.
The outlines come from IBM Plex Sans as before, at the same font-size
26, letter-spacing -1 and baseline — only the S's weight moved, and the
pair re-centres on its advances the way live text would, which shifts
the P 0.57 right. The reconstruction was checked by regenerating the
committed ExtraLight/SemiBold outlines from the same pipeline first;
they came back identical, so the new S is the font's, not a thickened
copy of the old one. A stroke was tried before the font was to hand and
is not what shipped: it thickens uniformly, where Medium is modulated at
the joins and keeps the apertures open, which is visible by 64px.
favicon.png is regenerated from the same source. Its border is unchanged
to the pixel and its alpha to the count; only the lettering moved.

SELF-HOSTED SMTP RELAY was set at font-size 7.2 with letter-spacing 2.8 —
a cap height of 5.2 in a 330-unit artwork, which puts its stems at about
half a device pixel where the mark is actually used. More than half the
line's ink came out as antialiasing: measured against the brown, the
typical tagline pixel reached 2.1:1 where the two colours are worth
7.3:1, and at 330px not one pixel reached full strength. The wordmark
above it renders 66% of its pixels solid.
It is now 11.5/0.15. The line keeps its footprint (154 units against
153) and its monospaced cells, fitted from the grid the outlines were
generated on; the width the tracking was spending went to the glyphs
instead, taking cap height to 8.3. Mean ink coverage goes 0.39 to 0.60
at the README's width and 0.33 to 0.47 at the 330px the login and setup
pages use.
opacity=".78" is gone with it. It cost 30% of the available contrast to
mark the line as secondary, which a 3.4:1 difference in size already
does, and it was multiplying the alpha of stems that were mostly alpha
to begin with.
A stroke to thicken the stems was measured and rejected: at 0.12-0.30 it
lifted mean coverage 0.59 to 0.63 while dropping the share of solid
pixels, since it adds antialiased edges rather than filling stems.
internal/web/static/logo.svg is a byte copy of the docs asset and stays
one. selfpost-proof.html carries the lockup as live text and is where
the metrics come from, so it moves too, or the next regeneration would
put the old spec back.

The delivery log now lists what identifies a message and nothing else —
time, sender, recipient, subject, status — and links each row to
/deliveries/{id}, which carries the rest: the sending domain, the
application it was submitted under, the Postfix queue id to search the
system log for, and when the status was last reported. Domain and
application were a column each; they were the widest thing in the table
after the addresses and repeat down every filtered page, and they remain
the log's two filters. Back returns to the page and filters the row was
opened from, rebuilt from the log's own parameters only.
Subjects are now decoded for display as well as on the way in. The milter
has decoded them since 8add005, but the rows it wrote before that still
hold the raw =?utf-8?Q?...?= header, and those are the ones an operator is
most likely to still be reading. The decoder moves to internal/mailhdr,
shared by the milter and the panel; it is idempotent, so a row decoded
once passes through unchanged.

The status page answered "are the components running" but said nothing
about the machine underneath them, so a server slowed to a crawl by a
busy processor or one about to have Postfix OOM-killed looked entirely
healthy until the queue backed up.
internal/health/machine.go reads the kernel's counters in /proc: the
aggregate processor times and core count from /proc/stat, the load
average from /proc/loadavg, memory and swap from /proc/meminfo, and
per-interface byte counters from /proc/net/dev.
CPU busy time and network throughput are rates, so a MachineSampler holds
the previous reading and each call reports the difference — one shared
sampler on the Server, since a per-request one would never have anything
to subtract. A window longer than a minute only re-baselines: a page
opened after the panel sat idle would otherwise average that whole
stretch and present it as the current load.
Memory is derived from MemAvailable rather than MemFree, because Linux
spends every spare page on cache and MemFree would report a permanent
emergency. A fully busy processor (>=90%) warns and an exhausted machine
(>=97%) errors, both counting towards the page's headline verdict, since
either delays or kills the mail path. Throughput has no comparable
threshold — what counts as a lot depends on the link — so it is reported
and never graded. Loopback is excluded: that traffic is the container
talking to itself.
Like every other check here, an unreadable counter degrades to "unknown"
with an explanation instead of failing the page, so the panel still runs
outside Linux for development.
The usage bars are <meter> elements. The panel's CSP has no inline-style
exemption, so a bar's length has to travel on an attribute; the element
also grades its own colour from low/high/optimum, and the percentage is
printed beside it for anything that does not render meters.

The review's plan is finished — phase 0 (bar the two release-commit steps),
1, 1.5, 2 and 3 are all closed — and what remained in the document was a second
copy of things that already live in architecture.md, security.md, roadmap.md or
the code comments: the GUI compromise table is in panel.css/panel.js/
middleware.go/handlers_auth.go, the single SQLite connection and the dual
cookie names are explained where they are implemented, the accepted gaps are in
security.md, and the model-routing table names progress.md and development.md
as its own source. A second copy of a fact is a place for it to go stale.
Four items were genuinely open and had no other home, so they moved to
roadmap.md rather than disappearing:
- splitting internal/web into subpackages (2.x) — with the reason to wait: the
flat package still reads at 47 files, and both 2.x features grow it, so the
cut is worth making before that growth, not now;
- a consolidated documentation index in the README (v1.x tail);
- the adaptive polling interval for a tab that is visible but idle — the hidden
case is already handled, and the remainder is explicitly allowed to end as
"decided not to";
- CONTRIBUTING.md, already moved to 2.x in the previous commit.
References retargeted: progress.md (7), roadmap.md (5), implementation-plan.md
(1). The CHANGELOG entries that cite the document are left as written — they
describe what happened at the time. The review text stays in git history at
522425a.

Codeberg is being retired as the project's public site, so every reference now
points at GitHub. That includes the Go module path (codeberg.org/mix/selfpost →
github.com/mixeme/selfpost): leaving an import path on a host that is going
away would break `go get` and `go install`, so this is not only a docs change.
Touches go.mod, test/e2e/go.mod, all imports, Makefile MODULE, the -ldflags
version stamp in build/Dockerfile and docs/development.md, the licence headers
in the SVG/HTML assets, and README (no more primary/mirror pair).
Comments no longer cite the archived specification. "spec 7.6.1", "spec 5.1"
and friends pointed into docs/archive/specification-v1.0.md, which is marked as
not a source of truth; each is now a reference to the live document that owns
the subject — architecture.md (with section), product.md, security.md or the
README. The review only asked for the 7.x refs (code-review.md § 4), but 4/5/6/
8/9 had the same defect, so they went too. Comments only, no behaviour change.
Also closes the remaining review items: architecture.md gained a Code layers
section with the layer diagram (A2), and TestParseDelivery gained the exotic
mail.log cases (§ 3).
Fixes a bug that last test found: the delivery-line pattern matched status=
greedily, taking the *last* occurrence on the line. Postfix appends the remote
server's reply verbatim, so a rejection whose reply quoted "status=sent" was
filed as a delivered message in the send log. It now takes the first status=
after the recipient, which is the real field.
R7 (CONTRIBUTING.md) moved to roadmap 2.x — one developer, no external PR flow,
so the file would have no audience yet. R1 (compose image tag) and the git tag
stay in roadmap § v1.x as the release-commit steps.
gofmt/go vet clean on both modules; go test ./... green except the three known
Windows-only failures (file perms, backslash paths, renaming an open file).
Not exercised on the dev server — no Docker locally.

- logtail: persist the read position (offset + fingerprint of the log's
first 512 bytes) in a new logtail_state table (migration 0003) and
resume from it on start, so delivery lines written while the panel was
down are parsed instead of skipped and their send-log rows no longer
stay "queued" forever. Fingerprint mismatch (rotated/recreated while
down) reads the file from the start — re-parsing is idempotent; a
first-ever start with nothing stored still begins at end-of-file.
Writes are throttled to one per 5s, forced on rotation and shutdown.
- milter: count messages that passed the level-2 check but have not
reached the send log yet (internal/milter/inflight.go), so concurrent
SMTP sessions cannot each spend the same last slot. A literal
count+insert transaction, as the review suggested, is not possible:
the count happens at MAIL FROM and the insert at end-of-message.
Reservations are released after the insert, on ABORT, and after a
10-minute TTL — a client that drops mid-transaction must not be able
to hold a slot, since the limiter is fail-open by design.
Docs: architecture.md (log tailer, persistence, L2 counting),
security.md and roadmap.md (restart gap closed, container recreate
remains), CHANGELOG, progress.md, code-review.md.

Both secret-bearing downloads can now be sealed with a password. Unticked, the
forms produce exactly the files they did before.
- internal/secretfile: envelope format — magic/type/scrypt params/salt/nonce
prefix header, then 64 KiB AES-256-GCM chunks each authenticated with the
header, its counter and an end-of-stream flag, so truncation, reordering and
tampering fail to open instead of restoring a plausible prefix. Streams both
ways, so a full backup never sits in memory.
- Panel: "Encrypt with a password" checkbox on the full-backup and
domain-export forms (shared partial, toggled from panel.js — no inline
script); domain import detects an encrypted export by magic bytes, not by
extension, and asks for the password.
- selfpost-backup: writes .spbk when given a password and converts one back
with -decrypt, which a restore needs. The password comes from
SELFPOST_BACKUP_PASSWORD or -password-file, never argv.
- Docs: README, security.md (+ accepted risk: encryption stays opt-in),
architecture.md, progress.md, CHANGELOG.
Verified locally: panel-encrypted archive decrypts through the CLI and unpacks;
wrong password and password mismatch are refused; UI checked in a browser.

Fable review of the full diff from the v1.0 audit (Phase 11, bd64e80) to

The four brand files were authored with live <text> set in IBM Plex Sans, and
the proof sheet closed on that being the one thing still to do before they were
used anywhere. It matters more than it sounds: the mark *is* the weight contrast
between Self at 200 and Post at 600, and a machine without Plex resolves neither
weight — browsers synthesise bold but never light, so the two words come out the
same and the wordmark stops being one. Almost no viewer has the font installed.
Laid out from the font's own metrics the way a browser would (advance widths
from hmtx, CSS letter-spacing after every character including the last, the
anchor centred on the result) and emitted as one path per text element, so the
files now render as drawn with no font installed at all. The note at the foot of
the proof sheet records that, and its file list is corrected to docs/assets/,
where these have lived since they were added.

The documentation is part of the deliverable (spec 11.5/11.7/11.9), so it has
to describe what the code does, not what was intended. Adds
docs/documentation-plan.md: the package inventory against the spec, the
per-claim sources of truth in the tree, the results of a first cross-check
pass (11 findings, most notably the missing "operations" section required by
spec 11.7, the absent env-var reference, .env.example's dangling link to a
README "Rate limiting" section, and the unwritten "tar while stopped" backup
path from spec 9), and tasks D1-D7 gating the next release tag.

Separate test/e2e Go module drives the shipped deploy/docker-compose.yml
(plus a test-only override: self-signed cert, low ports, isolated compose
project) against a fake DNS zone (CoreDNS) and an smtp-sink MX, exactly as
an administrator and their applications would over HTTP/SMTP — covering the
class of failure unit tests can't see (container wiring). Positive path:
setup -> login -> domain -> DKIM record published into the fake zone ->
application -> SMTP AUTH send -> DKIM verified against the DNS-published
key -> send-log queued->sent. Negative: no-AUTH/unauthenticated relay,
sender/login mismatch, L1 (anvil) and L2 (panel) rate limits, journal-milter
fail-open, SELFPOST_HOSTNAME gate, session survives docker restart.
release.yml moves off qemu to a native per-arch build (amd64/arm64), each
gated by this suite before its tag is pushed and merged into the version
manifest.

Unset or malformed hostname makes the panel and Postfix diverge on SASL
realm silently (auth breaks for every application) and breaks HELO/PTR
matching (spam), so entrypoint.sh now exits before postfix-config.sh /

missing dots, schemes, ports, and whitespace.

Replaces copytruncate with rename + `postfix reload` (the same mechanism
`postfix logrotate` itself uses), closing the up-to-one-second window where
copytruncate could drop in-flight delivery lines and leave a send-log row
stuck at "queued" forever.
logrotate-mail.conf keeps `create 0644 root root` rather than `nocreate` as
originally planned: verified on a live container that Postfix recreates the
file itself only lazily, on the next write after reload, and at mode 0600 —
unreadable by the unprivileged panel process. `create` hands the file back at
0644 immediately after rename, before Postfix ever touches it.
logtail.follow() re-drains the old file descriptor once more right before
switching to the rotated file, closing the residual gap between the last
poll's drain and the rotation check. readLogTail() treats a momentarily
missing mail.log as an empty screen rather than a logged error.

Sessions move from an in-memory map (absolute 12h TTL) to a `sessions`
table (migration 0002), storing only the SHA-256 of the token. Expiry is
now a sliding idle window (PANEL_SESSION_IDLE_DAYS, default 7, no
absolute cap), extended at most once an hour and never by the
monitoring screens' background polling (GET + HX-Request), so a
forgotten open tab doesn't keep a session alive indefinitely. A login
now survives a container restart or redeploy.

The plan holds undone work; an accepted risk is a decision, not a task
— it has no place in a queue, only a condition for revisiting it. Both
risks (POST with neither Sec-Fetch-Site nor Origin, no session-bound
CSRF tokens) move verbatim into a new docs/security.md, which also
states where D.5 findings land. Section letters and item numbering in
the plan stay as they were, since progress.md and the commit history
reference them; a note in their place points at the new file.

A single security pass once B.1-B.3 and C.4 are in, not four per-item
passes: those four rewrite authentication, log-file handling, the
entrypoint gate and the release workflow, so what matters is the final
state. Scope is the whole diff since v1.0.0 (phases 12-14 included)
plus a fresh walk over spec 7.6, run by Fable rather than Opus so the
reviewer is not the author. Findings are either fixed before the tag
or recorded in section A as accepted risks; together with the C.4 e2e
this gates tagging. The old section D (2.x pointer) becomes E, its
items renumbered 6 and 7.

2FA is dropped from the 2.x candidate list. "Multiple administrators"
is narrowed to one concrete role: an admin scoped to a single domain
(its applications, DKIM/DNS status, filtered send log), with the
globally scoped actions — domain add/delete, reload, full backup,
queue and mail.log tail — left out of it. Still 2.x: a second panel
subject contradicts the out-of-scope list in spec section 3, so it
needs agreement and a spec change before any code.

The unit tests all fake the process boundary, so the class of failure that
actually broke this project — container wiring: chroot vs DNS, milter socket
permissions, the SASL realm, the Postfix reload path, cap_add — is invisible
to them. Record the decision to close it with a hermetic containerised e2e:
a separate Go module under test/e2e/, driven against the shipped compose file
plus an override, with a fake DNS zone and an smtp-sink standing in for the
outside world.
It runs before tagging (make e2e on the dev server, plus workflow_dispatch)
and gates image publication on the tag itself, which pulls release.yml off
qemu onto a native amd64/arm64 matrix: build, test, push per-arch tags, merge
the manifest — so the bytes published are the bytes that were tested.

The soft fallback is worse than the plan's wording implied: the panel
falls back to realm "localhost" while postfix-config.sh falls back to the
container hostname, so with the variable unset accounts are written under
one realm and looked up under another — SMTP auth fails for every
application while the panel looks healthy. The second failure (EHLO =
container id, no PTR/SPF match) is invisible entirely. Both are silent
and delayed, which is exactly what a log warning cannot fix.
Decision: entrypoint.sh refuses to start without the variable, with an
explanatory message rather than a one-liner, plus a syntax check on the
value. Records why the "panel up with a banner, mail dead" variant was
rejected: it contradicts the Phase-4 crashexit invariant, cannot be fixed
without a restart anyway, and would let the panel persist SASL accounts
under the wrong realm.

copytruncate loses log records twice per rotation: everything written
since the tailer's last poll (kept in mail.log.1, but skipped because the
descriptor points at the truncated inode) and whatever lands between the
copy and the truncate (gone for good). Those records carry the final
delivery statuses the send log is reconciled from, so a dropped line
means a row stuck in "queued" — not just a gap in the monitoring view,
as the item previously assumed.
Decision recorded, implementation deferred to its own step.

Sessions move from the in-memory map to a `sessions` table (migration
0002), so a restart, a redeploy or a restore from a full backup no longer
signs the administrator out. The row holds a SHA-256 of the token rather
than the token itself: a stolen database file or backup archive cannot be
replayed into a login, while the browser that still holds the cookie keeps
working across a restore.
The 12-hour absolute TTL becomes a sliding 7-day idle window, configurable
through PANEL_SESSION_IDLE_DAYS (whole days, mirroring
SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS). No absolute cap: for an administrator who visits
regularly the session lasts indefinitely, which is the accepted trade-off.
The four `every 5s` monitoring fragments deliberately do not renew it —
otherwise a forgotten open tab would hold the session open forever and the
window would mean "seven days without an open tab" rather than "seven days
without the administrator".
Decision only; no code yet.

The plan holds only open work, but section A still retold what phase 14
implemented — security headers, the origin check, the __Host- cookie, the
setup-token documentation — which the CHANGELOG and git history already
describe in full. What is left of A is the two things deliberately *not*
closed: the POST that carries neither Sec-Fetch-Site nor Origin, and the
absence of session-bound CSRF tokens. The XSS note folds into the token item,
which is the only place it was doing work; the "proxy must pass Host through"
requirement is documented in the README and in the CHANGELOG, so it goes.
Section A's numbered items are gone with it, so B-D renumber from 1. Nothing
else in the file has been implemented: the README still says nothing about
restarts signing the admin out or about the copytruncate rotation window,
SELFPOST_HOSTNAME still falls back to localhost without a warning, and CI
still runs only vet and unit tests.

14.C needed no code: the setup link is already mirrored to /data/setup-token
at 0600 and removed once setup completes. What was missing is the reason to
prefer it — a deployment whose container logs ship to a central aggregator
otherwise leaves a live bearer token in that pipeline for ten minutes, and in
whatever retains it afterwards.
The reverse-proxy section gains the one requirement 14.A introduces: pass the
original Host header through. Everything else about security stays the
proxy's non-problem, which is the point of emitting the headers from the
panel.
Phase 14 leaves the plan (the file describes only unfinished work), but its
section A keeps what was deliberately left open: the accepted risk for clients
sending neither Sec-Fetch-Site nor Origin, the decision not to add
session-bound CSRF tokens and what would justify revisiting it, and the fact
that XSS inside the panel's own origin is answered by html/template and the
CSP rather than by either of those.

Records both decisions and, more usefully, what the item was actually about.
The prefix was filed as a free nicety ("мелочь, но бесплатная"), which is why
it sat undecided: nothing said what it prevents. It prevents the same-site
neighbour from the CSRF item using its other lever — setting a Domain-scoped
cookie of the same name. The browser then sends two, r.Cookie returns the
older one, and the admin logs in successfully into an endless login loop. That
is denial of service rather than compromise (no valid token can be forged with
a single account), but it is close to undiagnosable from the panel's side, and
the origin check decided in A.2 does nothing about it — the request comes from
the admin's own origin.
Phase 14 gains section B: the cookie name becomes conditional on CookieSecure,
because a __Host- cookie over plain HTTP is rejected outright and would break
the dev mode silently; logout clears both names; and requireAuth switches to
r.Cookies() so a duplicate is refused and logged instead of silently picked.
The setup-token documentation moves to 14.C.
