The refresh/retry button called fetchVersion() without clearing
versionInfo first, so the old value stayed displayed with no feedback.
On manual refresh it now immediately sets versionInfo to null (shows
spinner) then fetches with ?_t=Date.now() to bypass any browser cache
of the API response.
Bump version to 0.4.5 to include all fixes since 0.4.4 (day/night
toggle, uptime/kill allowlist, auto-retry on version error).
Layout.tsx: when versionError is true, automatically retry fetchVersion
after 5 s. This handles the case where the initial fetch runs during
the service-restart window after an upgrade (server not yet up), which
caused the sidebar footer to permanently show 'Version unavailable'
even though the server came back online shortly after.
exec.ts: add 'uptime' and 'kill' to ALLOWED_COMMANDS. 'uptime' was
missing, causing exec('uptime', ['-p']) in GET /api/nixserver/system/info
to throw 'Command not allowed', which rejected the entire Promise.all
and returned 500 — leaving Hostname and OS as '...' on the dashboard.
Plain axios was called without the Authorization header, so the
requireAdmin middleware rejected every request with 401. The catch
block set versionError but the error state was also not yet deployed,
leaving the spinner stuck on 'Checking version…' forever.
Switch both axios.get('/api/nixserver/system/version') and
axios.post('/api/nixserver/system/upgrade') to the api client from
../api/client, which automatically attaches Bearer token from
localStorage on every request.
Adds a compact info strip at the top of the NixPanel dashboard showing
Username, Hostname, OS, NixPanel Version, Load Averages (live via
WebSocket), and Server Monitoring alert count. Alert count is derived
from GET /api/nixserver/services — green "All Clear" when all services
are running, amber "N Alerts" for any stopped/failed service.
Also fixes the version footer error state in Layout.tsx (versionError
→ "Version unavailable" fallback with retry button) so the spinner no
longer hangs indefinitely when the version API is unreachable.
Add version badge to sidebar footer showing installed vs latest version,
fetched from /api/nixserver/system/version. Badge shows green when up to
date or amber with target version when an update is available.
Upgrade button triggers POST /api/nixserver/system/upgrade which spawns
scripts/update.sh detached (git pull + npm install + prisma migrate +
build + restart). Response is returned before the service restarts so
the client receives confirmation. Panel comes back online in ~60 s.
Replace the flat 14-item nav with a full category sidebar matching
the WHM layout. 29 collapsible categories, ~210 menu items, live
search that filters across all categories and auto-expands results,
active route auto-expands the matching category, sidebar toggle
hides/shows the full panel.
