Timestamp now sits on its own line above each event so it's visually
separate from the change description. Field names use a friendly label
map (hardware_acceleration → hw acceleration, tailscale_ip → tailscale ip,
etc.). The created event reads "instance created" in accent colour instead
of a raw "created / —". Padding between rows increased.

Add a Display section to the settings modal with a timezone dropdown.
Selection is persisted to localStorage and applied to all timestamps via
fmtDate (date-only) and fmtDateFull (date + time + TZ abbreviation, e.g.
"Mar 28, 2026, 2:48 PM EDT"). Changing the timezone live-re-renders the
current page. Defaults to UTC.

Adds an instance_history table that records every field change:
- createInstance logs a 'created' event
- updateInstance diffs old vs new and logs one row per changed field
(name, state, stack, vmid, tailscale_ip, all service flags)
- History is stored under the new vmid when vmid changes
New endpoint: GET /api/instances/:vmid/history
The 'timestamps' section on the detail page is replaced with a
grid timeline showing timestamp | field | old → new for each event.
State changes are colour-coded (deployed=green, testing=amber,
degraded=red). Boolean service flags display as on/off.

Stacks are always just production/development — counting them adds
no useful information to the dashboard summary.

Removing the :first-child { padding-top: 0 } override lets every
section use the same padding: 16px 0, so the gap above Export matches
the gap above Import (and any future sections).

The modal-body's 22px padding-top created a visible gap between the
header divider and the Export section title.

padding-top on the first .settings-section created a visible gap
above the Export title. Fixed with :first-child { padding-top: 0 }.

Adds a gear button to the nav that opens a settings modal with:
- Export: GET /api/export returns all instances as a JSON backup file
with a Content-Disposition attachment header
- Import: POST /api/import validates and bulk-replaces all instances;
client uses FileReader to POST the parsed JSON, with a confirm dialog
before destructive replace

Multi-line python3 -c "..." had unindented code outside the run: | block,
causing 'yaml: line 83: could not find expected :'. Collapsed to a single
indented line so the YAML parser sees it correctly.

cache: npm caused ~4min ETIMEDOUT on every run (cache service unreachable).
Commit messages containing backticks were shell-expanded inside the
curl -d "..." string, causing 'sha: No such file or directory'. Fixed by
writing release notes to a temp file and using python3 to build the JSON
payload, then passing it to curl with --data @file.

$GITEA_SHA is unset on Gitea runners — the nav showed "dev-" with an
empty SHA. git rev-parse --short HEAD works regardless of runner env vars.

The Gitea runner's cache service is unreachable, causing a ~4 minute
ETIMEDOUT on every run before falling back to a cold install anyway.

Production images continue to display the semver (v1.x.x). Dev images
built by CI now receive BUILD_VERSION=dev-<7-char-sha> via a Docker ARG,
and app.js skips the v prefix for non-semver strings.

.badge lacked text-align: center. Inside the card's flex-end right
column, badge text was left-justified within each pill, making state
labels (deployed / testing / degraded) appear skewed to the left.
TDD: CSS regression test added to tests/helpers.test.js — reads
css/app.css directly and asserts the rule is present, so this
cannot regress silently in future.

Vitest runs test files in parallel workers. Each worker imports server/db.js,
which triggered module-level init(DEFAULT_PATH) unconditionally. Two workers
racing to open the same SQLite file caused "database is locked", followed
by process.exit(1) killing the worker — surfacing as:
Error: process.exit unexpectedly called with "1"
Fix: guard the boot init block behind NODE_ENV !== 'test'. Vitest sets
NODE_ENV=test automatically. Each worker's beforeEach(() => _resetForTest())
initialises its own :memory: database, so no file coordination is needed.
process.exit(1) is also guarded by the same condition — it must never
fire inside a test runner process.
TDD: two regression tests added to tests/db.test.js documenting the
expected boot behaviour and proving the module loads cleanly in parallel.

Root cause of the 500 on create/update/delete: the non-root app user in
the Docker container lacked write permission to the volume mount point.
Docker volume mounts are owned by root by default; the app user (added
in a previous commit) could read the database but not write to it.
Fixes:
1. Dockerfile — RUN mkdir -p /app/data before chown so the directory
exists in the image with correct ownership. Docker uses this as a
seed when initialising a new named volume, ensuring the app user
owns the mount point from the start.
NOTE: existing volumes from before the non-root user was introduced
will still be root-owned. Fix with:
docker run --rm -v catalyst-data:/data alpine chown -R 1000:1000 /data
2. server/routes.js — replace bare `throw e` in POST/PUT catch blocks
with console.error (route context + error) + explicit 500 response.
Add try-catch to DELETE handler which previously had none. Unexpected
DB errors now log the route they came from and return a clean JSON
body instead of relying on the generic Express error handler.
3. server/db.js — wrap the boot init() call in try-catch. Fatal startup
errors (e.g. data directory not writable) now print a clear message
pointing to the cause before exiting, instead of a raw stack trace.
TDD: tests written first (RED), then fixed (GREEN). Six new tests in
tests/api.test.js verify that unexpected DB errors on POST, PUT, and
DELETE return 500 with { error: 'internal server error' } and call
console.error with the route context string.

Adds a build-dev job to ci.yml that fires after tests pass on direct
pushes to dev (not PRs). Pushes two tags to the registry:
:dev — mutable, always the latest integrated dev state
:dev-<sha> — immutable, for tracing exactly which commit is running
Staging servers can pull :dev to test before a release PR is opened.

Merges the initial ci.yml + release.yml workflow changes onto dev.
This is the first merge under the new feature-branch → dev → main model.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Splits the single workflow into two with distinct responsibilities:
ci.yml — runs tests on push/PR to dev and main. Powers the required
status check for branch protection on both branches.
release.yml — triggers on push to main (merged PR). Reads version from
package.json, asserts the tag doesn't already exist, creates
the git tag, generates patch notes from commits since the
previous tag, builds and pushes the Docker image, and creates
the Gitea release. No more manual git tag or git push --tags.
build.yml deleted — all three of its jobs are covered by the new files.
