The update source used to be three things - a remote name or an address, plus an
optional branch - and unset it followed whatever this directory's remotes and
upstream happened to say. That asked people to understand git topology before
they could update, and the person it was built for could not tell what "follow
the remote this tree tracks" meant. It is now one field: config.yaml update.repo,
an address, empty meaning the official repository
(https://github.com/AIPentest/CyberStrikeAI.git). Point it at a mirror (GitHub is
hard to reach in some places) or at your own fork and that is the whole
configuration.
The branch nothing is any more: an update follows the source repository's own
default branch, resolved from the source itself (ls-remote --symref HEAD), so a
fork whose default is not "main" still works and nobody has to name a branch.
Remote names, the mine/origin/upstream ranking, @{upstream} tracking and the
adopt flow's branch argument are all gone with it.
The console page loses two input fields: the source section is one address, a
hint that empty means the official repository, and a save button; clearing the
address is the way back to the default. The install facts drop the remote name,
the check section shows the source's default branch once the network answer
arrives, and the adopt entry no longer requires saving an address first - the
official default makes connecting a tarball install a zero-configuration action.
The CLI now reads the same update.repo field the page saves (LoadUpdateRepo reads
just that field, without validating the rest of the file - a broken unrelated
section must not block the path that fixes the tree), so the keyboard and the
button cannot update from different repositories. -check-update prints the source
it is about to use.
Tests: the source suite now pins the default (official), the single-address save
(including the empty-string reset), and that the followed branch comes from the
source's own default branch rather than a hardcoded "main"; the console suite
posts the one field and renders the default hint; docs, config.example.yaml and
upgrade.sh describe the one-field story.
The console now knows what it is running: the status endpoint compares the binary
identity captured at startup (size + nanosecond mtime) with the file on disk, so
an update, a rollback or a CLI run that swapped the binary without a restart is
reported as needsRestart (with the build time) - a state that used to live only in
one job's result and vanished with the process. That state grows a persistent
banner and POST /api/system/update/restart (409 when there is nothing to activate
or a job owns the tree, 400 without a hook), so a forgotten tick is one click
instead of a shell login.
The restart tick defaults to on exactly where it is safe: launchd/systemd leave
markers in the environment (XPC_SERVICE_NAME, INVOCATION_ID/JOURNAL_STREAM) and
the box follows them; an operator's own choice is never second-guessed afterwards.
While the process is down the console becomes a recovery view that probes the
status endpoint every 2 seconds: 200 means the old process still answers, a dead
socket means it is on its way out, and a 401 - only a new process can fail to know
the session - reloads the page back to #system-update. A job poll that dies during
a requested restart is the restart in flight, not a failure to toast.
Also fixed: updateT now asks i18next not to escape interpolated values, because
the console escapes at render time - the apply confirm dialog has been showing
branch names with / ever since they contained a slash, and the new banner
showed dates the same way.
Tests: 7 new console contract tests (36 total: banner, tick default, restart
confirm/refusal, watchdog 200-vs-401, timeout copy, the in-flight poll death) plus
handler tests for the stamp and the endpoint, all mutation-probed; docs describe
the pending-restart state and the self-recovery.
config.yaml gains an optional update section (remote / remote_url / branch). The
resolver keeps its default - whatever remote this tree already tracks - and the
explicit choice wins when set, which is also what lets a tarball installation
that never saw git get on the update rails at all.
- RemoteURL is fetched straight into a ref namespace of its own, so a URL source
cannot be shadowed by a same-named remote's stale refs. ValidRemoteURL allowlists
https/http/ssh/git/file and local absolute paths, and rejects git's ext::
transport (which executes commands) before anything reaches argv.
- Adopt connects a plain directory to the source. Preview is side-effect free (the
fetch happens in a throwaway bare repository) and lists every local file whose
content the target would replace, plus the operator content that is put aside.
The confirmed run inits, adds origin, stashes operator content, keeps every
replaced file under .update-backup/<ts>/overwritten/ so "the update ate my edit"
has an address, lands the target content, sets upstream, rebuilds the binary.
A failure removes only the .git it created itself; once the content has landed
the tree stays adopted even if the build fails.
- Console/API: the status envelope carries the configured source;
POST /system/update/source writes it through the same config path every other
setting uses (validated, audited); POST /system/update/adopt is preview-then-job,
with the job's kind recorded. OpenAPI updated; RBAC rides the existing
update:apply prefix and the route inventory stays green.
Tests: URL-mode check/apply against real repositories (including the address
beating a remote name), URL validation table, and the full adoption story -
preview touches nothing, operator content survives, the replaced edit is in the
backup, and the adopted tree updates and rolls back like any other installation.
An operator running a fork has no honest way to upgrade: upgrade.sh downloads the
Release tarball of one hard-coded third-party repository and rsyncs it over the
tree, so "upgrade" means "overwrite yourself with somebody else's code", and the
safe alternative is to pull by hand and remember the build command.
internal/update drives the remote the directory already tracks: fetch, fast-forward,
go build into .update-staging, atomic rename of the binary (the previous one kept as
cyberstrike-ai.prev), and a .update-state.json so a rollback has a target that is
not guessed at. Refusals are the point - local source edits and a diverged branch
stop with the file names and commit counts in the error rather than being reset to
match, and operator-owned content (roles/skills/tools/agents/data/config.yaml) is put
aside before the merge and restored over it, with what was kept listed in keptContent
instead of quietly dropped.
Consumers: GET/POST /api/system/update* behind update:read / update:apply (mutations
are process-global, so they need a global-scope session); a console page at
#system-update with an apply button that names why it is blocked, a job polled from
the server and a rollback control; the same three actions as -check-update / -update
/ -update-rollback on the binary; OpenAPI entries for all five endpoints. Permission
gating no longer re-enables a control a page disabled for a reason of its own
(data-state-disabled), which every state-disabled, permission-gated button in the
console was subject to. upgrade.sh becomes a thin shell over the same implementation
and only falls back to the tarball path for installs that are not git work trees.
Docs and the zh/EN/RU dictionaries are updated. The package runs 13 tests against
real temporary git repositories; the HTTP layer, RBAC and the console page each
carry their own contract tests.
