[Unreleased]

• ops: mail.log rotation switched from copytruncate to rename + postfix reload (the same mechanism postfix logrotate itself uses), eliminating the up-to-one-second window in which copytruncate could drop in-flight delivery lines — a lost line meant a send-log row stuck at queued forever. logrotate-mail.conf keeps create 0644 root root rather than nocreate: verified on a live container that letting Postfix recreate the file itself on reload produces 0600, which the unprivileged panel process cannot read, breaking the mail-log view until the next restart. The panel's log-tailer (internal/logtail) re-drains the old file descriptor once more right before switching to the rotated one, closing a similar small window between polls; a missing mail.log right after rotation is now a normal empty screen rather than a logged error.
• panel: login sessions now persist in SQLite instead of memory, so an administrator's login survives a container restart or redeploy. Only the SHA-256 of the session token is stored, never the token itself. The absolute 12-hour TTL is replaced by a sliding idle timeout (PANEL_SESSION_IDLE_DAYS, default 7 days, no absolute cap): the monitoring screens' background polling does not count as activity, so a forgotten open tab does not keep a session alive forever. Changing the password still signs out every other session.
• panel: security headers on every response — Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Strict-Transport-Security where the deployment is HTTPS-only. They are emitted by the panel itself, so the reverse proxy still needs no security configuration of its own.
• panel: state-changing requests are now checked against the panel's own origin (Sec-Fetch-Site, falling back to Origin vs Host). This closes cross-site request forgery from a neighbouring host on the same domain — a CMS or a forgotten staging subdomain next to the panel — which the session cookie's SameSite=Lax counts as same-site and therefore cannot stop. A request that sends neither header is still let through, so genuinely ancient browsers keep working. The reverse proxy must pass the original Host header through (every shipped fragment already does); one that rewrites it makes the panel refuse every form submission, and the log line names both the Origin and the Host it compared.
• panel: the session cookie is now named __Host-selfpost_session wherever it is Secure (the standard deployment), which makes the browser enforce that no other host can set or overwrite it. Upgrading signs the administrator out once. With PANEL_COOKIE_SECURE=false the old name is kept, because the prefix is invalid without TLS. Signing out clears both names.
• panel: if a request arrives with two cookies of the session cookie's name — what a neighbouring host does when it overwrites the session — the request counts as signed out and the log says so, instead of the panel silently picking the other host's value and looping back to the login form forever.
• panel: the layout's stylesheet moved to /static/panel.css and the confirmation prompts on destructive buttons moved into /static/panel.js. No visible change; the panel's CSP allows no inline script or style, and this is what keeps that policy free of exemptions.
• docs: the first-run setup link is also written to /data/setup-token (0600) — documented in the README as the way to read it without the token passing through a container-log pipeline.
• panel: new Status page — supervised processes, mail queue, TLS certificate expiry, milter sockets and the server's own hostname/reverse-DNS (FCrDNS) check — and it is now the panel's landing page. The local checks refresh by polling; the DNS lookup is cached with a Re-check button.
• panel: the domain page shows a DNS status card: the published DKIM record compared against the key this server actually signs with, plus SPF and DMARC. The SPF check is deliberately shallow — it looks for a mechanism literally covering this server's address and does not follow include:/redirect=, so a record that authorises the server through an include is reported as "cannot tell", not as a failure.
• panel: the domain list moved from / to /domains; / redirects to the status page. The Reload button moved from the domain list to the status page and now explains what it regenerates and when to use it.
• fix: the panel could never read the mail queue in the documented deployment. postqueue relies on its setgid-postdrop bit, which no-new-privileges (set in the shipped compose file) disables, so the Queue screen always said "Could not read the mail queue". The panel user is now a real member of postdrop.
• panel: navigation bar is now rendered once from the shared layout, so every authenticated page has it — including the domain page and the delete confirmation, which had no navigation links at all — and the current page is highlighted instead of silently missing from the list.
• panel: new Account page to change the administrator's username and/or password (the current password is required, throttled on the same limiter as the login form). Changing the password invalidates all other sessions.
• panel: Backup & migration moved off the domain list onto its own Backup page, with the full backup and the domain import as two separate cards.
• panel: the domain page now shows the Sending server settings (server, port and encryption) needed to configure a mail client; port 587 is listed only when SUBMISSION_ENABLE=true for this deployment.
• panel: Copy buttons on the DKIM record, on a newly issued application login/password and on the sending server name.
• panel: the Addresses field is hidden while an application's address mode is Any address of the domain, where the server ignores it.
• ci: disable provenance attestation on release image push, so the ghcr.io manifest list shows only linux/amd64/linux/arm64 (no unknown/unknown).
• ci: run go vet and go test ./... on every push to main and every pull request, not only the image build on a release tag.
• security: optionally honour X-Forwarded-For for login/setup rate-limiting when the request's direct peer is in the new TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR list, giving real per-client limits behind a reverse proxy instead of one global bucket. Unset by default (unchanged RemoteAddr-only behaviour).

[0.1.0] - 2026-07-15

Initial feature-complete implementation of the v1.0 specification (phases 0-11 of docs/implementation-plan.md).

Added

• Panel (Go, single static binary) with SQLite persistence, one-time crypto-random setup link, bcrypt admin auth, session cookies.
• Domain management with per-domain DKIM (RSA-2048, generated in pure Go) and OpenDKIM KeyTable/SigningTable regeneration + privilege-safe reload.
• Application (sender identity) management: SASL credentials via sasldb2, smtpd_sender_login_maps enforcing sender/domain ownership, no open relay.
• Full Postfix relay config generated from env at container start: SMTPS 465, optional STARTTLS submission 587, SASL auth, TLS for outbound delivery, anvil-based rate limiting (level 1).
• Journal milter (pure Go, go-milter) recording every send to send_log; fail-open by design so a milter fault never blocks mail.
• Monitoring UI: send log, Postfix queue, and mail.log tail, all HTMX-polling, HTML-escaped.
• Per-domain/per-application sending rate limit (level 2), enforced in the journal milter at MAIL FROM, fail-open on the limiter's own errors.
• Full backup/restore (tar.gz of /data, consistent SQLite snapshot via VACUUM INTO) with a version guard that refuses to start on a manifest/binary version mismatch. Per-domain export/import for moving a single domain between hosts without re-issuing DNS records.
• Deployment: Docker image + compose, reverse-proxy fragments for Apache (default), nginx, Caddy, and Traefik; CI workflow publishing tagged, multi-arch images to ghcr.io on vX.Y.Z tags.
• Security pass against spec 7.6 (exec safety, config-write sanitization, server-side validation, rate limiting, session/cookie hardening, output escaping, non-root panel) — full compliance, no code changes required.
• Live production deployment on selfpost.mixfed.ru with a real Let's Encrypt certificate; end-to-end delivery confirmed (DKIM pass, SPF pass).
