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.
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.
Runtime artifacts (agent workspaces, tool-output spill, C2 payloads, chat
uploads, workflow checkpoints, diagnostic logs) previously accumulated
without bound: most were only removed when a conversation or project was
deleted, and tmp/c2 plus workflow checkpoints were never removed at all.
Add a storage cleaner with named per-category tasks (Gitea-style), a
settings page tab, and a background sweep that is off by default so
upgrading never deletes existing data.
Safety properties, since mis-deleting live task data costs far more than
the disk saved:
- dry-run is the default; a real cleanup requires dry_run=false together
with confirm=true at the API layer, not just a frontend dialog
- sessions active within active_grace_hours are always skipped, and a
failed activity lookup skips conservatively (fail closed)
- directories whose conversation/project no longer exists are reclaimed
as orphans after orphan_grace_days
- scanners never follow symlinks and every candidate path is confined to
its category root; deletion renames to a .tmp-for-deletion marker first
so a crash leaves recoverable residue instead of a half-deleted dir
- storage:* permissions are admin-only; without the grantSystemRolePermissions
skip the default branch would have given operators an irreversible
file-deletion right
Also fix two confirmed leaks: DeleteConversation left chat_uploads files
on disk (their rows already vanished via ON DELETE CASCADE), and workflow
checkpoints had no deletion path at all.
