+Source of truth: [docs/assets/panel-ui/system.html](docs/assets/panel-ui/system.html) and `system.css`.
+
+Do not copy `internal/web/view/templates` into mockups. Do not mark `<main>` as `ops`/`form` to pick width. Do not fix empty columns, Host/Type height, or split Save/Delete with one-off CSS.
+
+Compose screens from `stack`, `pair`, `measure`, `fill`, `field-row`, `actions-row`:
+- Two peer jobs → `pair` (one child shrinks to `measure`).
+- Tables/logs/DNS → `fill` (nowrap + overflow-x on the card). Add-to-list is a `measure` row inside that card, not a second card above it.
+- Confirm/login/user form → `measure`.
+- Host ‖ Type and two equal inputs → `field-row` (shared grid row, not two `.code` paddings).
+- Save + Delete → `actions-row` inside the card; never submit inside `<form>` and danger after `</form>`.
+- Danger zone is the second column of the last `pair`, never a full-width `fill`.
+- Card chrome is title + optional `?` + body + actions. Help is not sprinkled later.
+- Phone: `pair` stacks; `field-row` does not; tables become lists.
+- One screen is one HTML file. Shared chrome is `shell.js`. Do not put every screen in one hash-SPA.

 ### Added
 
+- docs: roadmap candidates **send-log-retention** (panel Settings for delivery
+  journal retention) and **domain-stats-auto-ratelimit** (30-day send stats per
+  domain/application, auto level-2 rate limit from avg × multiplier) — plans in
+  [docs/plans/](docs/plans/).
+
+- Postfix queue under `/data/postfix/queue` — deferred and active mail survive
+  container recreate and are included in full backups.
+- Full backup archives the whole operator project: `data/`, `docker-compose.yml`,
+  `.env`, and `certs/` (requires `.:/selfpost-deploy:ro` in compose). Restore
+  by unpacking into an empty project directory.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Breaking:** full-backup archive layout — paths are prefixed with `data/`;
+  deploy files sit at the archive root. Old flat archives restore with
+  `tar xzf backup.tar.gz -C ./data` as before.
+- docs: operator guide, architecture, security, and backup UI updated for
+  self-contained backups and persistent queue.
+
+- docs: HTML mockups for a full panel UI refresh
+  ([docs/assets/panel-ui/](docs/assets/panel-ui/index.html)) — current screens,
+  agreed and candidate roadmap surfaces (queue-retries, inbound-relay,
+  dmarc-reports, panel-docs), a hybrid width (ops pages use the window, forms
+  keep a reading measure), and a 390px emergency layout. The stamp and brick
+  palette stay; extra nav icons are proposals only. Design artefact; the
+  running panel is unchanged.
+
+### Changed
+
+- docs: panel UI mockups after review — Status restored to live readings
+  (queue line, PTR, machine/process tables, Configuration); inbound MX DNS
+  check, recipient mode (list or any), and Danger zone beside recipients;
+  Backup and Settings as two-column ops pages; Save and Delete user on one
+  row; help «?» on domain cards; Host/name ‖ Type height matched to the live
+  panel (`b0ebe06`).
+
+- docs: panel UI design system and mockups rebuilt as separate pages
+  (`system.html`, `status.html`, `domain.html`, …), not one hash sheet.
+  Regions are `stack` / `pair` / `measure` / `fill`; Host ‖ Type is
+  `field-row`; Save + Delete is `actions-row`. Shared chrome is `shell.js`.
+
+- docs: panel UI mockups — add-domain sits in the list card (Domains and
+  Inbound); DMARC candidate screens drill into a domain roll-up and a
+  parsed aggregate report (aligned vs third-party fail), not a hub-only
+  summary.

+- panel (restore): after a backup is extracted and the version guard passes,
+  the panel runs one mail-path Resync on the first boot — OpenDKIM's tables
+  and Postfix's sender map are re-derived from SQLite and the daemons are
+  reloaded, so drift between the archive and the database is healed before
+  mail flows. Later starts skip that step; the Status page Reload button runs
+  the same Resync on demand. The `internal/backup` package comment now matches
+  this behaviour.
+
+- ci (GHCR): per-arch package tags (`X.Y.Z-amd64`, `X.Y.Z-arm64`) are dropped
+  after the manifest merge via the GitHub Packages API. The merge job had called
+  `docker buildx imagetools rm`, which is not a valid subcommand — cleanup failed

 ### Changed
 
+- docs: operator and as-built docs aligned with the code after a full
+  pass — [architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) route table now marks
+  **global** routes (404 for domain administrators) and documents the
+  one-time restore Resync in Persistence; session/password and restore-session

+  change vs admin reset, no "logout everywhere", immediate session restore on

+  volume wording fixed; [security.md](docs/security.md) CSRF ADR points at
+  `authz.go` for route gating. No behaviour change.
+
+- docs: [guide.md](docs/guide.md) reorganised into **Installation**, **Instance
+  administration**, and **Domain administration** — DNS setup, operations,
+  rate limiting, and backup sections follow the instance/domain boundary
+  instead of mixing them. **Installation** now reads Ports → Local trial →
+  Initial setup → Full deployment (with the fixed image tag nested under it) →
+  Environment variables → Reverse proxy; the step-by-step production deploy and
+  per-proxy TLS commands move here from README's "Reference deploy" (README
+  keeps a short pointer). Internal (non-operator) environment variables move
+  to [architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) § Configuration; the guide keeps
+  a one-line pointer. **Full backup and restore** gains worked commands for

-[deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf](deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf) into your
-vhost directory, replace `mail.example.com` with your hostname, enable the site,
-then issue a certificate:
-
-```sh
-sudo certbot --apache -d mail.example.com
-```
-
-Point `./certs` at the PEM files certbot wrote (symlink is fine):
-
-```sh
-ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com certs
-```
-
-**nginx (containerised).** From the `deploy/` directory, merge the nginx
-fragment and issue the first certificate before nginx can serve HTTPS:
-
-```sh
-docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f nginx/docker-compose.nginx.yml \
-  run --rm certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/certbot \
-  -d mail.example.com --email you@example.com --agree-tos --no-eff-email
-
-docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f nginx/docker-compose.nginx.yml up -d
-```
-
-Edit [deploy/nginx/nginx.conf.example](deploy/nginx/nginx.conf.example) and
-replace `mail.example.com` first. The fragment bind-mounts certbot's output into
-both nginx and SelfPost.
-
-**Caddy (containerised, automatic ACME).** Edit
-[deploy/caddy/Caddyfile](deploy/caddy/Caddyfile) and the `<hostname>` placeholders
-in [deploy/caddy/docker-compose.caddy.yml](deploy/caddy/docker-compose.caddy.yml),
-then:
-
-```sh
-docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f caddy/docker-compose.caddy.yml up -d
-```
-
-Verify Caddy's on-disk cert path for your version before relying on the
-default mount — see the comment at the top of the Caddy compose fragment.
-
-**Traefik (containerised).** Edit the `Host(...)` label and ACME email in
-[deploy/traefik/docker-compose.traefik.yml](deploy/traefik/docker-compose.traefik.yml),
-start the stack, then extract PEM files for Postfix whenever Traefik issues or
-renews a certificate:
-
-```sh
-docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f traefik/docker-compose.traefik.yml up -d
-./traefik/extract-cert.sh ./traefik/letsencrypt/acme.json mail.example.com ./traefik/extracted-certs
-```
-
-Schedule `extract-cert.sh` (cron or a timer) alongside Traefik's renewals.
-
-### 3. Start SelfPost
-
-If you used Apache on the host (step 2, first option), start only the base
-compose file from your `selfpost/` directory:
-
-```sh
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-The nginx/Caddy/Traefik fragments from step 2 already include `docker compose up
--d` — skip this if you ran one of those.
-
-**Get the setup URL** — open it in a browser to create the admin account
-([first boot](#quick-start)):
-
-```sh
-docker compose logs selfpost 2>&1 | grep -m1 'http'
-```
-
-```sh
-cat ./data/setup-token
-```
-
-The file is deleted as soon as setup completes. If logs are shipped to a
-central aggregator, prefer `cat ./data/setup-token` so the bearer token does
-not enter the log pipeline.
-
-### 4. DNS and sending
-
-Before sending real mail:
-
-1. Confirm PTR/rDNS for the server IP points at `SELFPOST_HOSTNAME` (Status
-   page → *Re-check*).
-2. For each domain you add in the panel, publish SPF, DKIM, and DMARC at the
-   same time ([DNS setup](docs/guide.md#dns-setup)).
-3. Warm up a new IP gradually ([IP warmup](docs/guide.md#ip-warmup)).
-
-### Ports and upgrades
-
-The compose file maps **465** (always) and **587** (when
-`SUBMISSION_ENABLE=true`). Bump the pinned image tag deliberately when
-upgrading — never use `:latest` ([why](docs/guide.md#fixed-image-tag)).
-
-Optional variables (`TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR`, rate limits, retention): see
-[Environment variables](docs/guide.md#environment-variables).

+but are not part of the operator interface — not meant to be changed in a

+- **Panel paths and tuning:** `SELFPOST_DATA_DIR` (`/data`), `SELFPOST_DB_PATH`

+  (`/data/postfix/sender_login_maps` — read by Postfix config only; the panel
+  always writes `<POSTFIX_DIR>/sender_login_maps`, so overriding this env alone
+  desyncs the map Postfix reads from the file the panel maintains),
+  `POSTFIX_QUEUE_DIR` (`/data/postfix/queue` — set in `build/postfix-config.sh`),
+  `SELFPOST_DEPLOY_ROOT` (`/selfpost-deploy` — operator project directory for
+  full backups; mount `.:/selfpost-deploy:ro` in compose).

+  `MILTER_COMMAND_TIMEOUT` (`15s`), `MILTER_CONTENT_TIMEOUT` (`30s`),
+  `MILTER_WAIT_TIMEOUT` (`30` seconds).
+- **Background maintenance:** `TLS_RELOAD_INTERVAL_SECONDS` (`86400` — daily
+  `postfix reload` to pick up renewed certificates),
+  `LOGROTATE_INTERVAL_SECONDS` (`21600` — check `mail.log` rotation every six
+  hours; logrotate keeps 14 rotated files on a daily schedule, and each

Знак и палитра из листа утверждения не меняются. HTML в <code>docs/assets/panel-ui/</code>, не вёрстка <code>internal/web</code>.</p>

+  <p>Навигация прижата влево. Ops-страницы (Status, Deliveries, очередь, лог, Backup, Settings, DMARC, inbound) занимают остаток до <strong>90rem (~1440px)</strong>. Backup — полный бэкап ‖ импорт. Settings — учётные данные ‖ DMARC (у domain-admin остаётся одна узкая карточка). Таблица Users — <code>fill</code>. Одиночные формы (подтверждения, форма пользователя) остаются <strong>42rem и выровнены влево</strong>. Login и setup — по-прежнему узкий центрированный блок.</p>

+  <h2>Зачем</h2>
+  <p>Первый макет скопировал грамматику живой панели: страница помечается <code>ops</code> или <code>form</code>, карточки стопкой, пара полей — два независимых <code>.code</code>, Save внутри <code>&lt;form&gt;</code>, Delete снаружи. Дальше каждая мелочь чинилась отдельно — как в <code>panel.css</code> годами. Новый интерфейс должен <strong>не давать собрать</strong> пустую колонку, разные высоты Host/Type и кнопки на двух строках.</p>
+  <p>Три оси, которые больше не выбираются «на глаз» у каждой страницы:</p>
+  <ol>
+    <li><strong>Регион</strong> — как блок занимает ширину окна.</li>
+    <li><strong>Карточка</strong> — заголовок, справка, тело, действия.</li>
+    <li><strong>Контрол</strong> — одно поле или пара полей одной высоты.</li>
+  </ol>
+</section>
+
+<section id="regions">
+  <h2>Регионы</h2>
+  <p>Страница — это <code>stack</code> регионов, не класс на <code>&lt;main&gt;</code>. Оболочка одна: навбар прижат влево, контент забирает остаток. Навбар не прыгает, когда меняется содержимое.</p>

+**GitHub Release vs GHCR.** The public [Releases](https://github.com/mixeme/selfpost/releases)
+page lists only **published** releases. A draft is visible to maintainers only —
+it looks like “no releases” to everyone else. CI does not create or publish the
+GitHub Release; you do that in the UI. Deleting a release’s git tag on GitHub
+(or re-pushing tags while cleaning the registry) converts a published release
+back into a **draft** — that matches “I published three times and it keeps
+disappearing”. After publish, leave the tag on GitHub; clean up only unwanted
+GHCR package versions, not the git tag.
+
+Push workflow and source changes to **github.com/mixeme/selfpost** before
+publishing — Actions reads that repo, not Gitea.
+
+**Gitea → GitHub tag mirror.** If every tag push from Gitea is mirrored to
+GitHub, two things follow:
+
+1. **GitHub Release tags must not be deleted on GitHub.** Many mirror setups
+   prune remote tags that are absent on Gitea (or re-push with `--force` /
+   `--prune`). Deleting `v1.0.0` / `v1.3.0` on GitHub converts a published
+   Release back to draft. Mirror **branches and new tags forward**; do not
+   delete release tags on the GitHub side. GHCR cleanup is package versions in
+   the UI — not `git push github --delete` and not tag prune on the mirror.
+
+2. **Tag push runs the workflow file at that tag's commit**, not `main`. `v1.0.0`
+   still points at a commit whose `release.yml` has `on: push: tags` and no
+   per-arch GHCR cleanup — every mirror (re)push of that tag can republish
+   `1.0.0-amd64` / `1.0.0-arm64`. Tags from `v1.3.0` onward only run
+   `release.yml` on **Publish release** (`release: published`), so mirroring
+   those tags alone does not start the image build.
+
+   Safe mirror: push tags to GitHub without deleting existing ones; keep release
+   tags on Gitea; publish the GitHub Release on github.com after the mirror has
+   the tag.

+### Initial setup
+
+On first start the one-time setup URL is printed in the container log
+(`docker compose logs -f`) and written to `/data/setup-token` inside the
+container — `./data/setup-token` on the host, mode `0600` — then deleted when
+setup completes. The link is `https://<SELFPOST_HOSTNAME>/setup/<token>` (path
+token, not a query string), valid for ten minutes. Open it to choose the
+administrator username and password — until then the panel has no login. If
+this host ships container logs to a central aggregator, prefer reading the
+file:
+
+```sh
+docker compose exec selfpost cat /data/setup-token
+```
+
+### Full deployment
+
+Production layout: one `docker-compose.yml`, a `.env`, persistent `./data`, and
+TLS PEM files at `./certs` (read by Postfix on 465/587). The panel is reached
+only through a [reverse proxy](#reverse-proxy-mandatory) on 443 — port 8080 is
+bound to localhost in the default compose file.
+
+| Artefact | Path |
+|---|---|
+| Compose file (fixed image tag) | [deploy/docker-compose.yml](../deploy/docker-compose.yml) |
+| Environment template | [deploy/.env.example](../deploy/.env.example) |
+| Apache vhost (recommended) | [deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf](../deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf) |
+| nginx | [deploy/nginx/](../deploy/nginx/) |
+| Caddy | [deploy/caddy/](../deploy/caddy/) |
+| Traefik | [deploy/traefik/](../deploy/traefik/) |
+
+**1. Fetch the base files.**
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p selfpost/data selfpost/certs && cd selfpost
+curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mixeme/selfpost/main/deploy/docker-compose.yml
+curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mixeme/selfpost/main/deploy/.env.example
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Edit `.env` — at minimum set `SELFPOST_HOSTNAME` to your mail hostname (bare
+FQDN, e.g. `mail.example.com`). It must match the PTR record you request from
+your provider and the certificate your proxy will obtain. See [Environment
+variables](#environment-variables) for the full list.
+
+**2. Reverse proxy and TLS.** Pick and set up one proxy — see [Reverse proxy
+(mandatory)](#reverse-proxy-mandatory) for the per-proxy commands. The same
+certificate must end up under `./certs` as `fullchain.pem` and `privkey.pem`
+so Postfix can serve it on 465 (and 587 if enabled).
+
+**3. Start SelfPost.** If you used Apache on the host (the recommended
+option), start only the base compose file from your `selfpost/` directory:
+
+```sh
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The nginx/Caddy/Traefik fragments already include `docker compose up -d` —
+skip this if you ran one of those.
+
+**Get the setup URL** — open it in a browser to create the admin account (see
+[Initial setup](#initial-setup)):
+
+```sh
+docker compose logs selfpost 2>&1 | grep -m1 'http'
+```
+
+```sh
+cat ./data/setup-token
+```
+
+**4. DNS and sending.** Before sending real mail:
+
+1. Confirm PTR/rDNS for the server IP points at `SELFPOST_HOSTNAME` (Status
+   page → *Re-check*) — see [Server-level DNS](#server-level-dns-ptrrdns).
+2. For each domain you add in the panel, publish SPF, DKIM, and DMARC at the
+   same time ([Domain-level DNS](#domain-level-dns-spf-dkim-dmarc)).
+3. Warm up a new IP gradually ([IP warmup](#ip-warmup)).
+
+#### Fixed image tag
+
+`deploy/docker-compose.yml` pins an explicit version (`ghcr.io/mixeme/selfpost:X.Y.Z`),
+deliberately never `:latest`. The current pin is `1.3.0`. Intermediate
+CHANGELOG sections (`0.2.0`…`0.6.0`) record development cuts from before that
+image was published. Pinning matters because of the backup version check (see
+[Full backup and restore](#full-backup-and-restore)): the panel binary's
+embedded version and the image tag that produced it are the same value by
+construction (the release CI stamps both from one git tag — see
+`.github/workflows/release.yml`), so the pin is what makes "restore into the
+same version" a checkable fact rather than a guess. Upgrade by bumping the tag
+deliberately, not by riding a moving target — see [Upgrading](#upgrading).

+service share one hostname — the common case — it's genuinely one certificate
+serving both.
 
-Two different scopes — don't confuse them:
+SelfPost isn't tied to a specific proxy; pick whichever fits your host:
 
-**Server level (once, for the machine itself):**
+| Proxy | Where certs live | Fragment |
-- **PTR/rDNS** for the server's IP, pointing at its mail hostname. Most
+|---|---|---|
-  receiving mail servers weigh this heavily; get it from whoever assigns the IP
+| **Apache** (default/recommended) | Host disk, via the certbot Apache plugin — PEM files ready to bind-mount, no extraction step. | [deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf](../deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf) |
-  (hosting provider's panel/support), not from your own DNS zone.
+| nginx | Host disk, via a certbot sidecar container — same PEM-ready shape as Apache. | [deploy/nginx/](../deploy/nginx/) |
+| Caddy | Automatic ACME, zero extra containers — simplest, but its on-disk cert path is versioned internal layout, not a stable API; verify it for the Caddy version you run. | [deploy/caddy/](../deploy/caddy/) |
+| Traefik | Bundled inside `acme.json` — needs a small extraction script to produce standalone PEM files. | [deploy/traefik/](../deploy/traefik/) |
 
-**Domain level (for *every* sending domain you add in the panel):**
+Apache is the recommended default because the certbot Apache plugin already
-- **SPF** — a TXT record on the domain authorizing this server to send on its
+writes plain `fullchain.pem`/`privkey.pem` files to a predictable path with no
-  behalf (e.g. `v=spf1 a mx ip4:<server IP> -all`, adjusted to your setup).
+extra moving parts between "certificate issued" and "Postfix can read it."
-- **DKIM** — a TXT record with the exact value the panel shows on that
-  domain's page (`domain page → DKIM TXT record`), one selector per domain.
-- **DMARC** — a `_dmarc` TXT record. The panel suggests `p=none` (monitoring
-  only, safe to publish immediately). On a send-only relay the sending domain
-  often has no inbox, so `rua=` is optional — configure a default report address
-  in *Settings* or per domain when you have a mailbox that receives inbound mail
-  elsewhere. If `rua=` points at another domain, publish `_report._dmarc` on that
-  hub domain too; the panel checks it. Public mail hosts (Gmail, Outlook, …)
-  cannot be used as external report destinations.
 
-Skipping any of the three per-domain records is the single most common reason
+**The proxy needs no security configuration of its own.** The panel emits its
-mail lands in spam even though SelfPost delivered it correctly — DKIM passing
+own `Content-Security-Policy`, `Strict-Transport-Security`, `X-Frame-Options`,

+and Traefik by default). A proxy that rewrites `Host` instead makes the panel
+reject every form submission as cross-origin — the log says so explicitly,
+printing the `Origin` and `Host` it compared.
 
-The panel checks both scopes for you and tells you what is actually published:

-(forward-confirmed reverse DNS), and each domain's page shows a *DNS status*
-card comparing the published DKIM record against the key this server signs with,
-plus the domain's SPF, DMARC, and (when configured) DMARC report-authorisation
-records. Results are cached for a few minutes;
-use *Re-check* right after publishing a record. The SPF check is deliberately
-shallow — it looks for a mechanism that literally covers this server's address
-and does not follow `include:` or `redirect=`, so a record that authorizes the
-server through an include is reported as "cannot tell" rather than as a failure.
 
-## IP warmup
+**Apache (recommended, on the host).** Install Apache with `ssl`, `proxy`, and
+`proxy_http` enabled. Copy
+[deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf](../deploy/apache/selfpost-vhost.conf) into your
+vhost directory, replace `mail.example.com` with your hostname, enable the site,
+then issue a certificate:
 
-A brand-new IP has no sending history, so receiving servers are cautious with
+```sh
-it regardless of how correct your DKIM/SPF/DMARC are. Start with low volume to
+sudo certbot --apache -d mail.example.com
-a domain, increase gradually over days/weeks rather than sending everything on
+```
-day one, and check the IP against major blocklists (Spamhaus and similar)
-before and during warmup. This is inherent to how mail reputation works on the
-public internet, not something SelfPost's configuration can shortcut.
 
-## Operations
+Point `./certs` at the PEM files certbot wrote (symlink is fine):
+
+```sh
+ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com certs
+```
+
+**nginx (containerised).** From the `deploy/` directory, merge the nginx
+fragment and issue the first certificate before nginx can serve HTTPS:
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f nginx/docker-compose.nginx.yml \
+  run --rm certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/certbot \
+  -d mail.example.com --email you@example.com --agree-tos --no-eff-email
+
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f nginx/docker-compose.nginx.yml up -d
+```
+
+Edit [deploy/nginx/nginx.conf.example](../deploy/nginx/nginx.conf.example) and
+replace `mail.example.com` first. The fragment bind-mounts certbot's output into
+both nginx and SelfPost.
+
+**Caddy (containerised, automatic ACME).** Edit
+[deploy/caddy/Caddyfile](../deploy/caddy/Caddyfile) and the `<hostname>` placeholders
+in [deploy/caddy/docker-compose.caddy.yml](../deploy/caddy/docker-compose.caddy.yml),
+then:
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f caddy/docker-compose.caddy.yml up -d
+```
+
+Verify Caddy's on-disk cert path for your version before relying on the
+default mount — see the comment at the top of the Caddy compose fragment.
+
+**Traefik (containerised).** Edit the `Host(...)` label and ACME email in
+[deploy/traefik/docker-compose.traefik.yml](../deploy/traefik/docker-compose.traefik.yml),
+start the stack, then extract PEM files for Postfix whenever Traefik issues or
+renews a certificate:
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f traefik/docker-compose.traefik.yml up -d
+./traefik/extract-cert.sh ./traefik/letsencrypt/acme.json mail.example.com ./traefik/extracted-certs
+```
+
+Schedule `extract-cert.sh` (cron or a timer) alongside Traefik's renewals.

-## Backup, restore, and moving a single domain
+**Restore** means unpacking that archive into an **empty project directory**
+(not into `./data` alone) and starting a container of the **exact same image
+version** that created it — SelfPost refuses to start otherwise and tells you
+which tag to use. On the first successful start after restore, `data/manifest.json`
+from the archive is **deleted** — it guards only that one boot, so a later
+in-place upgrade is not blocked. On that same first boot the panel also runs
+one **Resync** — OpenDKIM's tables and Postfix's sender map are re-derived from
+SQLite and both daemons are reloaded, healing any drift between the extracted
+files and the database (the Status page's *Reload configuration* button runs
+the same step on demand). This is why the compose file pins a fixed tag rather
+than `:latest`: without a known version, there'd be no way to tell which image
+restoring a given backup actually requires (see [Fixed image
+tag](#fixed-image-tag)).
 
-Two related but distinct operations

-  **Restore** means unpacking that archive into a fresh `/data` bind mount and
-  starting a container of the **exact same image version** that created it —
-  SelfPost refuses to start otherwise and tells you which tag to use. On the
-  first successful start after restore, `manifest.json` from the archive is
-  **deleted** — it guards only that one boot, so a later in-place upgrade is
-  not blocked. This is why the compose file pins a fixed tag rather than

-SelfPost can do for you.
 
-### Encrypting a backup or export
+A version mismatch at step 5 refuses to start and leaves `/data` untouched —
+the panel exits with a message naming the tag to use, e.g.:
+
+```
+backup: this backup was created by SelfPost 1.2.3 but this image is 1.3.0 — restore into the matching image (selfpost:1.2.3)
+```
+
+Fix the tag in `docker-compose.yml`, `docker compose pull && docker compose up
+-d` again — the manifest is still there because the failed boot never got to
+delete it.
+
+**Moving to a different host** is the same flow: create an empty project
+directory, unpack the backup there, edit `.env` (and `docker-compose.yml` if
+needed) for the new hostname or proxy, then `docker compose up -d`. The archive
+carries `certs/` from the old host — re-issue certificates when the hostname or
+IP changes. Set up the reverse-proxy vhost separately (not in the backup).
+
+**Restoring an encrypted (`.spbk`) backup** needs a running container to
+decrypt it first — any container with the `selfpost-backup` CLI works; decryption
+does not read `/data` and performs no version check. Start one normally
+(step 5, but on an empty project you have not unpacked yet), then:
+
+```sh
+docker exec -i <container> selfpost-backup -decrypt < backup.spbk > selfpost-backup.tar.gz
+```
+
+Stop it, wipe the project directory again, and continue from step 2 above with
+the resulting `.tar.gz` — see [Encrypting a backup or
+export](#encrypting-a-backup-or-export) for the decrypt command's password
+options.
+
+**Archives from older SelfPost versions** (flat layout: `manifest.json` and
+`selfpost.db` at the archive root, no `data/` prefix, no deploy files) restore
+with the previous procedure: `tar xzf backup.tar.gz -C ./data` into a project
+that already has `docker-compose.yml` and `.env`.
+
+Restoring an archive taken **before** a session row was removed can bring
+that session back: session rows travel with the backup, and a browser that
+still holds the matching cookie is signed in again on the next request if the
+restored row's idle expiry has not passed. `POST /logout` removes only the
+current session; there is no "logout everywhere". Changing your own password
+on `/settings` deletes your other sessions, but a global administrator
+resetting another user's password on `/users` does not invalidate that user's
+existing sessions.
+
+**Alternative: archive `./data` while stopped.** If the service can be taken
+offline, `docker compose down` then `tar czf selfpost-data.tar.gz ./data` on
+the host is safe — nothing is writing to SQLite. Unlike the panel/CLI backup
+this sweeps in `./data/log/` too, which is Postfix's raw log and usually the
+bulk of the archive; add `--exclude=./data/log` if you only want the state.
+Do **not** tar `./data` while the container is running: the database uses
+WAL mode and a naive copy can capture an inconsistent snapshot. The

+  domain's page (`domain page → DKIM TXT record`), one selector per domain.
-deliberately, not by riding a moving target.
+- **DMARC** — a `_dmarc` TXT record. The panel suggests `p=none` (monitoring
+  only, safe to publish immediately). On a send-only relay the sending domain
+  often has no inbox, so `rua=` is optional — configure a default report address
+  in *Settings* (see [Settings](#settings)) or per domain when you have a
+  mailbox that receives inbound mail elsewhere. If `rua=` points at another
+  domain, publish `_report._dmarc` on that hub domain too; the panel checks
+  it. Public mail hosts (Gmail, Outlook, …) cannot be used as external
+  report destinations.
+
+Skipping any of the three records is the single most common reason mail
+lands in spam even though SelfPost delivered it correctly — DKIM passing
+doesn't help if SPF/DMARC are absent. **Whenever you add a new domain in the
+panel, add its DNS records at the same time**, not later.
+
+Each domain's page shows a *DNS status* card comparing the published DKIM
+record against the key this server signs with, plus the domain's SPF,
+DMARC, and (when configured) DMARC report-authorisation records. Results are
+cached for a few minutes; use *Re-check* right after publishing a record.
+The SPF check is deliberately shallow — it looks for a mechanism that
+literally covers this server's address and does not follow `include:` or
+`redirect=`, so a record that authorizes the server through an include is
+reported as "cannot tell" rather than as a failure.
+
+Server-level DNS (the PTR/rDNS record) is a separate, once-per-machine scope
+— see [Server-level DNS](#server-level-dns-ptrrdns).
+
+### IP warmup
+
+A brand-new IP has no sending history, so receiving servers are cautious with
+it regardless of how correct your DKIM/SPF/DMARC are. Start with low volume to
+a domain, increase gradually over days/weeks rather than sending everything on
+day one, and check the IP against major blocklists (Spamhaus and similar)
+before and during warmup. This is inherent to how mail reputation works on the
+public internet, not something SelfPost's configuration can shortcut.
+
+### Rate limiting — level 2 (domain and application)
+
+Level 2 is optional, configured on each domain's page, and layers on top of
+the always-on [level-1 IP backstop](#rate-limiting--level-1-ip-backstop).
+Level-2 ceilings cannot exceed level 1 (the panel shows the level-1 values
+and rejects higher numbers). When a level-2 ceiling is exceeded, Postfix
+returns a 4xx and the refusal is recorded in [Deliveries](#deliveries) as
+`rejected`.
+
+**Level 2 — domain** — a message ceiling and window for **every** client IP
+sending as that domain. When unset, only level 1 applies for non-privileged
+senders.
+
+**Level 2 — application (trusted IPs)** — optional override on an
+application: list one or more client IPs and a ceiling **strictly above**
+the domain limit (still ≤ level 1). Connections from those IPs use the
+application ceiling and skip the domain check. Other IPs stay under the
+domain limit (or level 1 alone). An application override without trusted
+IPs is inactive.
+
+**Level 2 is best-effort, not a guarantee.** It runs inside the
+journal-milter and is deliberately fail-open: if the rate-limit lookup hits
+a store error, or the connecting client's IP is not available to the
+milter, level 2 is skipped and the message is accepted rather than held up.
+Level 1 is the backstop that keeps working even when level 2 cannot run.
+
+### Deliveries
+
+`/deliveries` is a searchable send log with server-side filters by domain
+and application. A row identifies its message and nothing more — time,
+sender, recipient, subject and status `queued` (accepted, not yet
+delivered), `sent` (handed off successfully), `deferred` (Postfix is
+retrying), `bounced` (final failure), or `rejected` (refused — for example
+by a [level-2 rate limit](#rate-limiting--level-2-domain-and-application));
+*Details* opens that row's own page (`/deliveries/{id}`). That page carries
+the sending domain, the application it was submitted under, the Postfix
+queue id and the journal id, beside the message's history — when it was
+accepted and what Postfix later reported for the recipient — and, under
+both, the `mail.log` lines for its queue id: the connection to the
+receiving server, the server's reply, and the status that reply was filed
+as. Rows outlive `mail.log`, so an older message's lines may have rotated
+away; the page says so. Retention is controlled by
+`SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS`.
+
+### Exporting and importing a single domain
+
+Domain page → *Export domain* to write the file, *Backup* → *Import a
+domain* to read it back in. This moves one domain — its DKIM key and its
+applications' **working** SASL passwords — to a different SelfPost instance
+without regenerating anything, so DNS (the DKIM TXT record) doesn't need to
+change. Unlike a full restore (see [Full backup and
+restore](#full-backup-and-restore)), this works across different
+hostnames/instances. *Import* is global-administrator only; *export* is
+available to any user who can access the domain, **including a domain-admin**
+for a domain assigned to them — so a domain-admin can walk away with that
+domain's working SASL passwords in the clear. Weigh that when deciding which
+domains to assign to a domain-admin account.
+
+A domain export is a secret in the same way a full backup is, and can be
+encrypted the same way — see [Encrypting a backup or
+export](#encrypting-a-backup-or-export).

+# Plan: domain-stats-auto-ratelimit
+
+**Status:** candidate  
+**Date:** 2026-08-17  
+**Version:** `1.x` MINOR; migrations must stay compatible with `1.0.0`.
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Give the operator **30-day sending statistics** per domain and per application
+(total volume, peak and average rate), and an optional **auto** level-2 rate
+limit that sets `max_messages` from the average rate (avg × multiplier) over the
+level-1 window.
+
+## Scope
+
+**In:**
+
+- Rolling **30-day** stats on each domain page (domain aggregate + per-app rows):
+  message count, peak msg/h, average msg/h.
+- Level-2 rate limit mode **manual** (today) or **auto** for domain and
+  application scopes.
+- Auto formula: `max_messages = ceil(avg_hourly × multiplier)`, window =
+  level-1 window (`RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_SECONDS`); capped at level 1.
+- Background recalculation (e.g. every 6 h, alongside send-log prune); milter
+  reads stored `max_messages` / `window_seconds` only (no aggregates on the
+  hot path).
+- Panel UI: stats card, manual/auto toggle, multiplier field, read-only computed
+  limit in auto mode, optional «Recalculate now».
+- RBAC: domain-admin sees stats and may configure auto/manual for assigned
+  domains only; same authz as existing rate-limit handlers.
+- Tests, [guide.md](../guide.md), [CHANGELOG.md](../../CHANGELOG.md); security
+  review (Fable) for rate-limit path changes.
+
+**Out:**
+
+- Changing level 1 (Postfix env) — auto only fills level 2 under the L1 cap.
+- Automated IP warmup schedules ([guide.md](../guide.md) § IP warmup stays
+  operator-driven).
+- Prometheus/Grafana, alerting, APIs.
+- Counting level-1 refusals or `rejected` rows as sent volume.
+- Per-client-IP analytics.
+
+## Data source
+
+All metrics come from SQLite `send_log`, same rules as
+[`CountMessages`](../../internal/store/ratelimits.go):
+
+- One message = one distinct `queue_id` (many recipients = one count).
+- `status != rejected` (level-2 refusals never queued).
+- Level-1 refusals are **not** in `send_log` — stats under-count refusals;
+  document in UI copy.
+
+Retention today is env `SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS` (default 90). Stats use the
+last **30 days** of rows still present. If retention < 30 days (after
+[send-log-retention](send-log-retention.md)), the stats window is
+`min(30, retention)` with a warning.
+
+### Metrics
+
+| Metric | Definition |
+|---|---|
+| **total** | `COUNT(DISTINCT queue_id)` in the stats window |
+| **peak rate** | maximum messages in any **hourly** bucket in that window (msg/h) |
+| **avg rate** | `total / hours_in_window`, where `hours_in_window = min(720, age of domain/app in hours, retention hours)` |
+
+Keys: `send_log.domain` (domain scope), `send_log.app_login` (application scope).
+
+## Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  milter["journal-milter"] --> sendLog["send_log"]
+  sendLog --> statsQuery["StatsQuery 30d"]
+  statsQuery --> domainPage["domain page stats card"]
+  statsQuery --> autoJob["auto recalc job"]
+  autoJob --> rateLimits["rate_limits"]
+  rateLimits --> milter
+```
+
+1. **[`internal/store/stats.go`](../../internal/store/stats.go)** — `SendStats`
+   with `Total`, `PeakPerHour`, `AvgPerHour`; `DomainSendStats(name, since)` /
+   `AppSendStats(login, since)`.
+2. Hourly buckets: `strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H', created_at)` + `GROUP BY`; subquery
+   for peak; total via distinct `queue_id`.
+3. Indexes `idx_send_log_domain` and `idx_send_log_created_at` exist; add
+   composite `(domain, created_at)` only if profiling shows need.
+4. **Auto recalc** — panel goroutine (same interval as send-log prune): for each
+   `rate_limits` row with `mode = auto`, recompute `max_messages`, set
+   `auto_updated_at`. Milter unchanged except reading new columns via existing
+   `RateLimit` lookup.
+
+### Auto rate limit
+
+Extend [`RateLimit`](../../internal/store/ratelimits.go):
+
+```go
+type RateLimit struct {
+    // existing: Scope, RefID, AllowedIPs, MaxMessages, WindowSeconds
+    Mode           string  // "manual" | "auto"
+    AutoMultiplier float64 // default 2.5 when Mode == "auto"
+    AutoUpdatedAt  time.Time
+}
+```
+
+**Formula:**
+
+```
+avg_hourly = total_messages_in_window / hours_in_window
+max_messages = ceil(avg_hourly * auto_multiplier)
+window_seconds = L1 window (not editable in auto mode)
+max_messages = min(max_messages, L1 max)
+```
+
+When `total == 0`: auto limit stays **inactive** (same as empty manual limit);
+UI explains that traffic is required before auto can apply.
+
+**Application overrides** ([`handlers_ratelimit.go`](../../internal/web/handlers/handlers_ratelimit.go)):
+
+- Trusted IPs required.
+- Auto app ceiling **strictly above** domain limit when domain limit is active.
+- Ceiling ≤ L1.
+
+**Fail-open:** store errors during recalc must not weaken enforcement of the
+last successfully written limit; recalc failures are logged only.
+
+### Migration (`0006_rate_limit_auto.sql`)
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE rate_limits ADD COLUMN mode TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'manual'
+  CHECK (mode IN ('manual', 'auto'));
+ALTER TABLE rate_limits ADD COLUMN auto_multiplier REAL;
+ALTER TABLE rate_limits ADD COLUMN auto_updated_at TEXT;
+```
+
+Existing rows → `manual`.
+
+### Domain export
+
+Today rate limits are **not** exported. This plan adds them (including
+`mode`, `auto_multiplier`) to domain transfer JSON — document as a boundary
+change in [guide.md](../guide.md) § Export.
+
+## Panel UI
+
+- Domain page ([`domain_detail.html`](../../internal/web/view/templates/domain_detail.html)):
+  - **Sending statistics (30 days)** — total, peak msg/h, avg msg/h.
+  - Per-application stats in the app list.
+  - Rate limit: Manual / Auto, multiplier (e.g. 1.5–5.0, default 2.5), read-only
+    computed max/window in auto mode, «Recalculate now».
+- Optional later: «30d» column on domain list (global admin only).
+
+## Tests
+
+- `internal/store/stats_test.go` — fixtures → total / peak / avg.
+- `internal/store/ratelimits_test.go` — auto recalc, L1 cap, app > domain.
+- Handler tests — auto form validation, multiplier bounds.
+- Milter tests — enforced limit matches last recalculated values.
+
+`go test` / `go vet` on touched packages.
+
+## Done when
+
+- Domain and app 30-day stats visible on the domain page; domain-admin scoping
+  enforced.
+- Manual/auto toggle works for domain and app; auto recalc updates `rate_limits`
+  and milter enforces stored ceilings.
+- Zero-traffic auto stays inactive with clear UI copy.
+- [guide.md](../guide.md) and [CHANGELOG.md](../../CHANGELOG.md) updated;
+  security review passed.
+
+## Risks
+
+- Heavy aggregation on large `send_log` tables — mitigate with indexes or
+  nightly rollups (phase 2).
+- Stats without level-1 visibility — mitigate with operator-facing caveat.
+- Auto limit too tight after a spike — multiplier is operator-tuned; show peak
+  alongside avg in auto UI.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- [`send-log-retention`](send-log-retention.md) is a separate roadmap item but
+  should land before or in parallel so operators can set retention ≥ 30 days
+  from the panel.

+# Plan: send-log-retention
+
+**Status:** candidate  
+**Date:** 2026-08-17  
+**Version:** `1.x` MINOR; no schema migration required (uses existing `settings` table).
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Let the **global administrator** change how long delivery journal rows
+(`send_log`, `/deliveries`) are kept, from the panel — without editing `.env`.
+
+## Context (as-built)
+
+Retention **already exists**, but only via environment:
+
+- `SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS` (default **90**) in `.env` / Compose.
+- [`cmd/panel/main.go`](../../cmd/panel/main.go) passes it to
+  [`logtail.Run`](../../internal/logtail/logtail.go).
+- [`retentionLoop`](../../internal/logtail/logtail.go) prunes via
+  [`DeleteSendLogBefore`](../../internal/store/sendlog.go) every **6 hours**.
+- No panel control; [`handlers_monitor.go`](../../internal/web/handlers/handlers_monitor.go)
+  hardcodes «ninety days» in copy.
+- Migration `0001_init.sql` describes `settings` as the place for «retention
+  overrides», but no UI writes that key yet.
+
+This plan moves the **effective** retention into SQLite `settings`, with env as
+bootstrap only.
+
+## Scope
+
+**In:**
+
+- Settings card on `/settings` (global administrator only): **Send log
+  retention (days)**.
+- Key `send_log_retention_days` in [`settings`](../../internal/store/settings.go).
+- Validation: integer range **7–365** (exact bounds fixed at implementation).
+- On first use: if setting missing, seed from env
+  (`SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS`, default 90) at panel start or first save.
+- Log-tailer reads the setting **each prune cycle** (no container restart).
+- Delivery pages and guide copy show the **current** retention, not a hardcoded
+  90.
+- Tests; [guide.md](../guide.md); [CHANGELOG.md](../../CHANGELOG.md).
+
+**Out:**
+
+- Per-domain retention (instance-wide only).
+- `mail.log` rotation (logrotate, 14 daily files — unchanged).
+- Immediate prune on save when lowering retention (next 6 h cycle is enough;
+  optional «Prune now» not in v1).
+- Domain-admin access to this setting.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  settingsPage["/settings form"] --> sqlite["settings.send_log_retention_days"]
+  env["SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS bootstrap"] --> sqlite
+  sqlite --> retentionLoop["logtail retentionLoop"]
+  retentionLoop --> prune["DeleteSendLogBefore"]
+```
+
+1. **Read path** — `GetSendLogRetentionDays()`: settings value if valid, else env
+   default.
+2. **Write path** — POST `/settings` (global admin): validate, `SetSetting`,
+   flash confirmation.
+3. **Prune path** — change [`logtail.retentionLoop`](../../internal/logtail/logtail.go)
+   to accept `func() int` or `RetentionReader` that queries settings each cycle
+   (same 6 h ticker).
+4. **Copy** — inject retention days into delivery list/detail templates and
+   remove hardcoded «ninety days».
+
+`SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS` remains documented in [guide.md](../guide.md) as the
+**initial default** until changed in Settings.
+
+## Relation to domain-stats-auto-ratelimit
+
+[domain-stats-auto-ratelimit](domain-stats-auto-ratelimit.md) uses a **30-day**
+stats window. Requires effective retention ≥ 30 for full accuracy. When
+retention < 30:
+
+- Stats UI shows a warning and uses `min(30, retention)` as the window, or
+- Settings validation warns when saving a value below 30 while stats/auto are
+  enabled (pick one at implementation; document in guide).
+
+Recommended roadmap order: **send-log-retention** before or parallel with
+domain-stats-auto-ratelimit.
+
+## Panel UI
+
+New card on [`settings.html`](../../internal/web/view/templates/settings.html)
+(global admin block, near rate limits or under a «Deliveries» heading):
+
+- Number input: retention days (7–365).
+- Muted copy: rows older than this are deleted from `/deliveries`; main driver
+  of `/data` growth; does not affect `mail.log` rotation.
+
+Domain administrators keep the narrow credentials-only settings page.
+
+## Tests
+
+- Save/load setting; reject out-of-range values.
+- `retentionLoop` uses updated value without process restart (mock reader).
+- Bootstrap: empty settings → env default used for prune.
+- Template/delivery copy reflects configured days.
+
+`go test` / `go vet` on touched packages.
+
+## Done when
+
+- Global admin can set retention on `/settings`; value persists in SQLite.
+- Prune uses the panel value on the next cycle; env remains bootstrap default.
+- Guide documents panel vs env; CHANGELOG entry added.
+- Hardcoded «ninety days» removed from delivery UI.
+
+## Risks
+
+- Operator lowers retention while bookmarking old delivery URLs — existing
+  behaviour; copy already notes pruned rows are gone.
+- Settings change without restart — must be tested so log-tailer never keeps a
+  stale int from panel start only.
