Oikos Week 4: Console v0, approval hardening, docs pass, backlog
Oikos Console v0 (oikos/console/) — read-mostly, server-rendered FastAPI + Jinja2 web UI, no SPA build chain. Signals landing page, service grid + detail, node/blast-radius view, live Mermaid relationship graph, drift findings, approvals queue (approve/deny, destructive confirmation-phrase enforced), daily/weekly reports. Tested end-to-end via the preview tools against live production data, including a real click-through of the approve/deny flow. Found and fixed two bugs during that testing: - Severity-dot CSS classes didn't match the actual severity strings (dot-warn/dot-crit vs "warning"/"critical") — warning-severity signals rendered with no visible indicator at all. - The console's sys.path setup pointed at its own webhook checkout (/opt/oikos-console) rather than /opt/homelab-context, which would have made its oikos.* imports resolve to a SEPARATE copy of oikos/signal.py etc. than the scheduler and CLI use — silently forking signal/approval data into two locations in production. Fixed to match mcp/server.py's CONTEXT_DIR pattern. Also added _commit_push() so the console's writes (approval replies, signal ack/resolve) don't sit uncommitted against the 5-min-synced clone. Split oikos/gen_topology_lib.py out of oikos/gen-topology.py (hyphenated filenames aren't importable) so the console's /graph route can render live without shelling out. oikos/console/deploy/ — third webhook on dtoro/Homelab-Docs (port 9831), matching the homelab-mcp/secrets-issuance precedent. README documents the Caddy route and Gitea webhook registration this repo can't do for itself, and that Authentik step-up on /approvals needs a live instance to configure. Approval hardening: grants are now single-use (oikos/approve.py check_grant marks the request "executed" atomically, so a second call for the same id fails even within the TTL) — verified with a test. Per- agent age-key-signed requests, as originally planned, turned out not to be buildable as stated: age is encryption-only, no signing primitive. Documented the real alternative (SSH-key signing) and moved it to the 60/90-day backlog pending an inventory schema gap (no SSH pubkeys recorded today). Docs pass: added the Oikos command surface to operations/commands.md, new MCP tools to AGENTS.md. Found two more stale references while at it — commands.md and AGENTS.md both still pointed DNS at the destroyed LXC 124/dnsmasq instead of Technitium on dns (107), and a claudio-monitor reference deprecated since 2026-06-04 — fixed both. 60/90-day backlog written into OIKOS.md, derived from gaps actually observed this month, not guesswork.
