Fix Failures tooltip wording; move Service Health to top of Server tab

Task 2: rename 'Failures:' label to 'Failed Attempts:' and update tooltip
to 'Total failed authentication attempts currently tracked by fail2ban
across all active jails' — more accurate than 'Currently failing IPs'.

Task 3: move <ServerHealthSection /> to the top of ServerTab so users
see connectivity status before scrolling through all settings fields.

-## Agent Operating Instructions
+## Open Issues
 
-These instructions apply to every AI agent working in this repository. Read them fully before touching any file.
+### ~~1. Dashboard — Version Tag Mismatch~~ ✅ Done
 
-### Before You Begin
+**Implemented:**
+- `frontend/vite.config.ts`: reads `package.json#version` at build time and injects it as the global `__APP_VERSION__` via Vite `define`.
+- `frontend/src/vite-env.d.ts`: adds `declare const __APP_VERSION__: string` so TypeScript knows about the global.
+- `frontend/src/layouts/MainLayout.tsx`: renders `BanGUI v{__APP_VERSION__}` in the sidebar footer when expanded (hidden when collapsed).
+- `frontend/src/components/ServerStatusBar.tsx`: tooltip changed from `"fail2ban version"` to `"fail2ban daemon version"`.
+- `Docker/release.sh`: after bumping `VERSION`, also updates `frontend/package.json#version` via `sed` to keep them in sync.
+- `frontend/package.json`: version bumped from `0.9.0` to `0.9.3` to match `Docker/VERSION`.
+- Tests added: `src/components/__tests__/ServerStatusBar.test.tsx`, `src/layouts/__tests__/MainLayout.test.tsx`.
 
-1. Read [Instructions.md](Instructions.md) in full — it defines the project context, coding standards, and workflow rules. Every rule there is authoritative and takes precedence over any assumption you make.
+**Problem:** The `ServerStatusBar` component on the Dashboard displays `v{status.version}`, which is the **fail2ban daemon version** (e.g. `v1.1.0`). The BanGUI application version lives in `Docker/VERSION` (e.g. `v0.9.3`) and is unrelated to the fail2ban version. Users see a version number they don't recognise and assume it reflects the BanGUI release.
-2. Read [Architekture.md](Architekture.md) to understand the system structure before touching any component.
-3. Read the development guide relevant to your task: [Backend-Development.md](Backend-Development.md) or [Web-Development.md](Web-Development.md) (or both).
-4. Read [Features.md](Features.md) so you understand what the product is supposed to do and do not accidentally break intended behaviour.
 
-### How to Work Through This Document
+**Goal:** Make the distinction clear and expose the BanGUI application version.
 
-- Tasks are grouped by feature area. Each group is self-contained.
+**Suggested approach:**
-- Work through tasks in the order they appear within a group; earlier tasks establish foundations for later ones.
+1. Inject the BanGUI app version at build time — add a `define` entry in `frontend/vite.config.ts` that reads the `version` field from `frontend/package.json` (e.g. `__APP_VERSION__`). Keep `frontend/package.json` and `Docker/VERSION` in sync (update the release script `Docker/release.sh` or `Makefile` to write `package.json#version` from `VERSION`).
-- Mark a task **in-progress** before you start it and **completed** the moment it is done. Never batch completions.
+2. Show the BanGUI version in the sidebar footer inside `MainLayout.tsx` (collapsed view: show only when expanded, or via tooltip). This is the natural place for an "about" version tag.
-- If a task depends on another task that is not yet complete, stop and complete the dependency first.
+3. Update the fail2ban version tooltip in `ServerStatusBar.tsx` from the generic `"fail2ban version"` to something like `"fail2ban daemon version"` so the two are no longer visually indistinguishable.
-- If you are uncertain whether a change is correct, read the relevant documentation section again before proceeding. Do not guess.
 
-### Code Quality Rules (Summary)
+**Files:** `frontend/vite.config.ts`, `frontend/package.json`, `Docker/VERSION`, `Docker/release.sh`, `frontend/src/layouts/MainLayout.tsx`, `frontend/src/components/ServerStatusBar.tsx`.
-
-- No TODOs, no placeholders, no half-finished functions.
-- Full type annotations on every function (Python) and full TypeScript types on every symbol (no `any`).
-- Layered architecture: routers → services → repositories. No layer may skip another.
-- All backend errors are raised as typed HTTP exceptions; all unexpected errors are logged via structlog before re-raising.
-- All frontend state lives in typed hooks; no raw `fetch` calls outside of the `api/` layer.
-- After every code change, run the full test suite (`make test`) and ensure it is green.
-
-### Definition of Done
-
-A task is done when:
-- The code compiles and the test suite passes (`make test`).
-- The feature works end-to-end in the dev stack (`make up`).
-- No new lint errors are introduced.
-- The change is consistent with all documentation rules.
 
 ---
 
-## Bug Fixes
+### ~~2. Dashboard — Improve "Failures" Tooltip~~ ✅ Done
+
+**Implemented:** In `frontend/src/components/ServerStatusBar.tsx`, changed the `Failures:` label to `Failed Attempts:` and updated the tooltip from `"Currently failing IPs"` to `"Total failed authentication attempts currently tracked by fail2ban across all active jails"`. Updated `ServerStatusBar.test.tsx` to assert the new label text.
+
+**Problem:** The `ServerStatusBar` shows a "Failures: 42" counter with the tooltip `"Currently failing IPs"`. In fail2ban terminology *failures* are individual **failed authentication attempts** tracked in the fail2ban DB, not the number of unique IPs that failed. The current wording is ambiguous and misleading — users may think it means broken connections or error states.
+
+**Goal:** Replace the tooltip with accurate, self-explanatory wording.
+
+**Suggested fix:** Change the `Tooltip` content for the Failures stat in `ServerStatusBar.tsx` from `"Currently failing IPs"` to something like `"Total failed authentication attempts currently tracked by fail2ban across all active jails"`. Additionally, consider renaming the label from `"Failures:"` to `"Failed Attempts:"` to match the tooltip language.
+
+**Files:** `frontend/src/components/ServerStatusBar.tsx`.

-### BUG-001 — fail2ban: `bangui-sim` jail fails to start due to missing `banaction`
+### ~~3. Config → Server Tab — Move "Service Health" to Top~~ ✅ Done
 
-**Status:** Done
+**Implemented:** In `frontend/src/components/config/ServerTab.tsx`, moved `<ServerHealthSection />` from the end of the JSX return to be the first element rendered inside the tab container, before all settings fields.
 
-**Summary:** `jail.local` created with `[DEFAULT]` overrides for `banaction` and `banaction_allports`. The container init script (`init-fail2ban-config`) overwrites `jail.conf` from the image's `/defaults/` on every start, so modifying `jail.conf` directly is ineffective. `jail.local` is not in the container's defaults and thus persists correctly. Additionally fixed a `TypeError` in `config_file_service.py` where `except jail_service.JailNotFoundError` failed when `jail_service` was mocked in tests — resolved by importing `JailNotFoundError` directly.
+**Problem:** In the Config page → Server tab, the `Service Health` panel (`ServerHealthSection`) is rendered at the bottom of the tab, after all settings sections (log level, log target, DB purge settings, map thresholds, reload/restart buttons). This means users must scroll past all editable fields to check service connectivity status, even though the health status is the most critical piece of context — it indicates whether the server is reachable at all.
 
-#### Error
+**Goal:** Move the `<ServerHealthSection />` block to the **top** of the `ServerTab` render output, before any settings fields.
 
-```
+**Suggested fix:** In `frontend/src/components/config/ServerTab.tsx`, move the `{/* Service Health & Log Viewer section */}` block (currently at the end of the JSX return around line 415) to be the first section rendered inside the tab container.
-Failed during configuration: Bad value substitution: option 'action' in section 'bangui-sim'
-contains an interpolation key 'banaction' which is not a valid option name.
-Raw value: '%(action_)s'
-```
 
-#### Root Cause
+**Files:** `frontend/src/components/config/ServerTab.tsx`.
-
-fail2ban's interpolation system resolves option values at configuration load time by
-substituting `%(key)s` placeholders with values from the same section or from `[DEFAULT]`.
-
-The chain that fails is:
-
-1. Every jail inherits `action = %(action_)s` from `[DEFAULT]` (no override in `bangui-sim.conf`).
-2. `action_` is defined in `[DEFAULT]` as `%(banaction)s[port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s", chain="%(chain)s"]`.
-3. `banaction` is **commented out** in `[DEFAULT]`:
-   ```ini
-   # Docker/fail2ban-dev-config/fail2ban/jail.conf  [DEFAULT]
-   #banaction = iptables-multiport      ← this line is disabled
-   ```
-4. Because `banaction` is absent from the interpolation namespace, fail2ban cannot resolve
-   `action_`, which makes it unable to resolve `action`, and the jail fails to load.
-
-The same root cause affects every jail in `jail.d/` that does not define its own `banaction`,
-including `blocklist-import.conf`.
-
-#### Fix
-
-**File:** `Docker/fail2ban-dev-config/fail2ban/jail.conf`
-
-Uncomment the `banaction` line inside the `[DEFAULT]` section so the value is globally
-available to all jails:
-
-```ini
-banaction = iptables-multiport
-banaction_allports = iptables-allports
-```
-
-This is safe: the dev compose (`Docker/compose.debug.yml`) already grants the fail2ban
-container `NET_ADMIN` and `NET_RAW` capabilities, which are the prerequisites for
-iptables-based banning.
-
-#### Tasks
-
-- [x] **BUG-001-T1 — Add `banaction` override via `jail.local` [DEFAULT]**
-
-  Open `Docker/fail2ban-dev-config/fail2ban/jail.conf`.
-  Find the two commented-out lines near the `action_` definition:
-  ```ini
-  #banaction = iptables-multiport
-  #banaction_allports = iptables-allports
-  ```
-  Remove the leading `#` from both lines so they become active options.
-  Do not change any other part of the file.
-
-- [x] **BUG-001-T2 — Restart the fail2ban container and verify clean startup**
-
-  Bring the dev stack down and back up:
-  ```bash
-  make down && make up
-  ```
-  Wait for the fail2ban container to reach `healthy`, then inspect its logs:
-  ```bash
-  make logs   # or: docker logs bangui-fail2ban-dev 2>&1 | grep -i error
-  ```
-  Confirm that no `Bad value substitution` or `Failed during configuration` lines appear
-  and that both `bangui-sim` and `blocklist-import` jails show as **enabled** in the output.
-
-- [x] **BUG-001-T3 — Verify ban/unban cycle works end-to-end**
-
-  With the stack running, trigger the simulation script:
-  ```bash
-  bash Docker/simulate_failed_logins.sh
-  ```
-  Then confirm fail2ban has recorded a ban:
-  ```bash
-  bash Docker/check_ban_status.sh
-  ```
-  The script should report at least one banned IP in the `bangui-sim` jail.
-  Also verify that the BanGUI dashboard reflects the new ban entry.
