Move X-BanGUI-Request header name/value to backend/app/utils/constants.py as single source of truth. Add GET /api/v1/config/security-headers endpoint. Update csrf middleware, frontend api client, and docs to use shared constants.
Models in app/models/ are now pure data classes with no cross-layer dependencies.
This ensures the models layer remains a true leaf node in the dependency graph.
Changes:
- Create app/models/_common.py with shared types (TimeRange, bucket_count, constants)
- Move TimeRange and time-range constants from ban.py to _common.py
- Update history.py, routers, and services to import from _common.py
- Remove imports from app.config and app.utils from config.py models
- Move field validators from models to router layer:
- Add log_target validation in config_misc router
- Add log_path validation in jail_config router
- Update test_models.py to reflect validators moved to router layer
- Update documentation (Architekture.md, Backend-Development.md) with model layering rules
- Fix import ordering and type annotations in affected files
Model layering rule: Models may only import from:
✓ Standard library and third-party packages (Pydantic, typing)
✓ Other models in app/models/ (sibling models)
✓ app.models.response (response envelopes)
✗ app.services, app.config, app.utils, or any application layer
Validation requiring app-level state (settings, allowed directories) now happens
at the router or service layer, not in model validators.
Fixes: Models were not true leaf nodes due to circular imports and app-layer dependencies

This commit standardizes how API responses are wrapped, solving issue #24.
Problem:
- Inconsistent response envelopes (jails vs items vs bans vs no wrapper)
- Frontend required multiple field name variants
- Integration bugs from branching logic
- No clear pattern for different response types
Solution:
- Created response.py with base classes: PaginatedListResponse,
CollectionResponse, CommandResponse
- Standardized all list/collection responses to use 'items' field
- Domain-specific field names for detail and aggregation responses
- Updated all backends routers and mappers
- Updated frontend types and hooks to match
Changes:
Backend:
- backend/app/models/response.py (new): Base response models
- backend/app/models/ban.py: Updated responses to inherit from bases
- backend/app/models/jail.py: Updated JailListResponse, JailCommandResponse
- backend/app/models/config.py: Updated collection responses
- backend/app/services/jail_service.py: Updated return statements
- backend/app/mappers/ban_mappers.py: Updated 'bans' to 'items'
- backend/tests/test_mappers/test_ban_mappers.py: Updated tests
Frontend:
- frontend/src/types/jail.ts: Updated response interfaces
- frontend/src/types/config.ts: Updated response interfaces
- frontend/src/hooks/useActiveBans.ts: Updated selector
- frontend/src/hooks/useJailList.ts: Updated selector
- frontend/src/hooks/useJailConfigs.ts: Updated selector
- frontend/src/hooks/useConfigActiveStatus.ts: Updated field access
- frontend/src/hooks/useJailAdmin.ts: Updated field access
Documentation:
- Docs/Backend-Development.md: Added § 4.1 API Response Envelope Policy
The policy defines:
1. Paginated lists use PaginatedListResponse (items, total, page, page_size)
2. Non-paginated collections use CollectionResponse (items, total)
3. Detail responses use entity-specific field names (jail, status, settings)
4. Command responses use CommandResponse (message, success, optional target)
5. Aggregations use domain-specific fields (jails, countries, buckets, bans)
All responses now follow one of these patterns, reducing frontend complexity.

- Extract path validation logic into shared helper function in
backend/app/utils/path_utils.py (validate_log_path)
- Refactor AddLogPathRequest to use the helper function
- Apply the same validation to DELETE /api/config/jails/{name}/logpath
endpoint by validating the log_path query parameter
- Return HTTP 422 with descriptive error if validation fails
- Add comprehensive unit tests for path validation
- Update Backend-Development.md with usage examples
This prevents path-traversal attacks on the delete_log_path endpoint
by ensuring all log paths are within allowlisted directories.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- Add LogLevel Literal type: CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG
- Add log_target validation to accept special values (STDOUT, STDERR, SYSLOG)
or validated file paths within allowed directories
- Update GlobalConfigResponse to use LogLevel type
- Add field_validator for log_target in both GlobalConfigUpdate and
GlobalConfigResponse following the same pattern as AddLogPathRequest
- Add @autouse fixture to test_config_service.py to mock get_settings
- Update existing tests to use uppercase log level values
- Add 12 comprehensive tests for new validation in test_models.py
- Update Features.md to document valid log_target and log_level values
- Add section to Backend-Development.md documenting Literal types and
field_validator patterns with examples

Restrict monitored log paths to a configurable allowlist of safe directories
to prevent authenticated users from instructing fail2ban to monitor arbitrary
files on the system, which could leak contents via fail2ban logging.
Changes:
- Add 'allowed_log_dirs' setting to Settings (defaults to /var/log, /config/log)
- Add @field_validator to AddLogPathRequest to validate log paths at request time
- Validator resolves paths to canonical form and checks against allowed prefixes
- Use Path.is_relative_to() to prevent prefix bypass attacks like /var/log_evil
- Add comprehensive tests for valid/invalid paths and symlink handling
- Update Features.md and Backend-Development.md with security documentation
Security improvements:
- Blocks access to sensitive files (/etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, etc.)
- Resolves symlinks before validation to prevent escape routes
- Uses proper path comparison instead of string prefix matching
- Configurable via BANGUI_ALLOWED_LOG_DIRS environment variable

- Add has_local_override field to InactiveJail model
- Update _build_inactive_jail and list_inactive_jails to compute the field
- Add delete_jail_local_override() service function
- Add DELETE /api/config/jails/{name}/local router endpoint
- Surface has_local_override in frontend InactiveJail type
- Show Deactivate Jail button in JailsTab when has_local_override is true
- Add tests: TestBuildInactiveJail, TestListInactiveJails, TestDeleteJailLocalOverride
Task 1: Move Configuration to last position in sidebar NAV_ITEMS
Task 2: Add automatic rollback when jail activation fails
- Back up .local override file before writing
- Restore original file (or delete) on reload failure, health-check
failure, or jail not appearing post-reload
- Return recovered=True/False in JailActivationResponse
- Show warning/critical banner in ActivateJailDialog based on recovery
- Add _restore_local_file_sync and _rollback_activation_async helpers
- Add 3 new tests: rollback on reload failure, health-check failure,
and double failure (recovered=False)
Task 3: Color pie chart legend labels to match their slice color
- legendFormatter now returns ReactNode with span style={{ color }}
- Import LegendPayload from recharts/types/component/DefaultLegendContent
Task 2: adds a new Log tab to the Configuration page.
Backend:
- New Pydantic models: Fail2BanLogResponse, ServiceStatusResponse
(backend/app/models/config.py)
- New service methods in config_service.py:
read_fail2ban_log() — queries socket for log target/level, validates the
resolved path against a safe-prefix allowlist (/var/log) to prevent
path traversal, then reads the tail of the file via the existing
_read_tail_lines() helper; optional substring filter applied server-side.
get_service_status() — delegates to health_service.probe() and appends
log level/target from the socket.
- New endpoints in routers/config.py:
GET /api/config/fail2ban-log?lines=200&filter=...
GET /api/config/service-status
Both require authentication; log endpoint returns 400 for non-file log
targets or path-traversal attempts, 502 when fail2ban is unreachable.
Frontend:
- New LogTab.tsx component:
Service Health panel (Running/Offline badge, version, jail count, bans,
failures, log level/target, offline warning banner).
Log viewer with color-coded lines (error=red, warning=yellow,
debug=grey), toolbar (filter input + debounce, lines selector, manual
refresh, auto-refresh with interval selector), truncation notice, and
auto-scroll to bottom on data updates.
fetchData uses Promise.allSettled so a log-read failure never hides the
service-health panel.
- Types: Fail2BanLogResponse, ServiceStatusResponse (types/config.ts)
- API functions: fetchFail2BanLog, fetchServiceStatus (api/config.ts)
- Endpoint constants (api/endpoints.ts)
- ConfigPage.tsx: Log tab added after existing tabs
Tests:
- Backend service tests: TestReadFail2BanLog (6), TestGetServiceStatus (2)
- Backend router tests: TestGetFail2BanLog (8), TestGetServiceStatus (3)

Task 4: Fix banaction interpolation error when activating jails
- _write_local_override_sync now includes banaction=iptables-multiport
and banaction_allports=iptables-allports in every .local file
- PUT /api/config/filters/{name}: updates failregex/ignoreregex/datepattern/
journalmatch in filter.d/{name}.local; validates regex via re.compile();
supports ?reload=true
- POST /api/config/filters: creates filter.d/{name}.local from FilterCreateRequest;
returns 409 if file already exists
- DELETE /api/config/filters/{name}: deletes .local only; returns 409 for
conf-only (readonly) filters
- POST /api/config/jails/{name}/filter: assigns filter to jail by writing
'filter = {name}' to jail.d/{jail}.local; supports ?reload=true
- New models: FilterUpdateRequest, FilterCreateRequest, AssignFilterRequest
- New service helpers: _safe_filter_name, _validate_regex_patterns,
_write_filter_local_sync, _set_jail_local_key_sync
- Fixed .local-only filter discovery in _parse_filters_sync (5-tuple return)
- Fixed get_filter extension stripping (.local is 6 chars not 5)
- Renamed file_config.py raw-write routes to /raw suffix
(PUT /filters/{name}/raw, POST /filters/raw) to avoid routing conflicts
- Full service + router tests; all 930 tests pass
- Add list_filters() and get_filter() to config_file_service.py:
scans filter.d/, parses [Definition] + [Init] sections, merges .local
overrides, and cross-references running jails to set active/used_by_jails
- Add FilterConfig.active, used_by_jails, source_file, has_local_override
fields to the Pydantic model; add FilterListResponse and FilterNotFoundError
- Add GET /api/config/filters and GET /api/config/filters/{name} to config.py

- Backend: jail_service.get_jail_detail() fetches 7 bantime.* socket commands
(increment, factor, formula, multipliers, maxtime, rndtime, overalljails)
and populates bantime_escalation on the returned Jail object
- Backend: config_service.get_jail_config() fetches same 7 commands;
update_jail_config() writes escalation fields when provided
- Frontend: Add BantimeEscalation + BantimeEscalationUpdate interfaces to
types/config.ts; extend JailConfig + JailConfigUpdate; extend Jail in
types/jail.ts
- Frontend: JailDetailPage.tsx adds BantimeEscalationSection component that
renders only when increment is enabled (shows factor, formula, multipliers,
max_time, rnd_time, overall_jails)
- Frontend: ConfigPage.tsx JailAccordionPanel adds full escalation edit form
(Switch for enable/disable, number inputs for factor/max_time/rnd_time,
text inputs for formula/multipliers, Switch for overall_jails);
