Fleet-wide live monitor with streaming, filterable logs

[devalade]

Summary

• monitor watches the whole fleet. No --on needed: a fleet overview of every app on every server (release skew marked behind, unreachable replicas keep their row, per-server CPU/mem/disk and deploy locks), with drill-down to the per-replica panels. Rollback from the monitor is refused for multi-server apps.
• Real log streaming. PM2, systemd and Caddy logs are followed over the existing SSH connections (pty + abort signal, so nothing lingers remotely), merged across servers, with reconnect backoff and replay de-duplication. Replaces the 2s pm2 logs --nostream poll.
• Filters. Server / app / process / level, text, /regex/ and !exclude search, hide or dim mode, live ERR/WARN counts, pause and scrollback. Applied to the local buffer, so a filter change never reconnects.
• shipnode logs --follow, plus --level / --grep on one-shot logs.
• TUI redesign on a small visual system: titled-border panels, aligned tables that drop columns on narrow terminals, breadcrumb header with freshness, alert line, key-hint footer.
• Also carries the init / first-deploy fixes already on local v3 (c969793).

Test plan

• pnpm lint / pnpm build clean
• pnpm test: 790 passing (new: log classification, assembler, replay guard, filters, stream reconnect/backoff, fleet rows, view reducer, column fitting)
• Rendered the real App against a fake 3-server fleet at 80×24, 100×28, 140×36
• Run shipnode monitor and shipnode logs -f against a real multi-server workspace; confirm stopping a follow leaves no pm2 logs process on the server

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Monitor multiple servers and app replicas in a live dashboard, with status, release, and activity details.
  • Stream and filter logs across servers using follow mode, severity, and text search.
  • Simplify project setup with host and domain options; first deploy can upload a local .env file or create an empty default file.
  • Initial setup can fall back to root when the configured deploy account is unavailable.
  • Health checks without a configured path accept responses below 500; configured paths require a 2xx or 3xx response.
• Documentation
  • Updated setup, monitoring, logging, and health-check guides with the new workflows and options.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request changes initialization, health checks, setup, and first-deploy environment handling. It also adds fleet-wide monitoring and merged log streaming with filters, reconnect handling, and new monitor views.

Changes

Initialization and first deploy

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Initialization and generated configuration src/cli/commands/init.ts, src/cli/index.ts, tests/unit/init.test.ts, website/src/content/docs/docs/commands/init.md, website/src/content/docs/docs/quick-start.md	init accepts host and domain options and generates configurations with fixed deployment, database, and Redis defaults. The interactive flow asks for app type, host, optional backend port and domain, database type, and Redis.
Health-check defaults and status rules src/config/schema.ts, src/shared/types.ts, src/services/health.service.ts, src/cli/commands/config.ts, src/cli/commands/deploy.ts, tests/unit/health.test.ts, tests/unit/builder.test.ts, README.md, CHANGELOG.md	An omitted path resolves to /health with non-strict checks. A specified path defaults to strict checks. Strict checks accept 2xx/3xx responses; non-strict checks accept statuses below 500.
Initial SSH access and environment provisioning src/cli/runner.ts, src/cli/commands/setup.ts, src/domain/deploy/backend-strategy.ts, src/domain/deploy/dotenv.ts, src/cli/commands/env.ts, tests/unit/runner.test.ts, tests/unit/backend-strategy.test.ts, README.md, docs/adr/*, website/src/content/docs/docs/quick-start.md, .claude/skills/shipnode/SKILL.md	Setup can retry a refused deploy login as root. Outside CI, the first deploy uploads a local environment file when the remote file is absent. If no local default .env exists, it uploads an empty file. The shared upload helper writes files with mode 600.

Fleet monitoring and log streaming

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Log parsing, filtering, and streaming src/domain/observe/*, src/services/observe/log-stream.ts, src/domain/remote/executor.ts, src/infrastructure/ssh/connection.ts, tests/unit/observe-logs.test.ts	The log pipeline plans PM2, systemd, and Caddy sources; parses and filters lines; suppresses replayed output; and reconnects sources while maintaining a bounded merged buffer.
CLI log filters and follow mode src/cli/commands/logs.ts, src/cli/index.ts, tests/unit/observe-logs.test.ts, website/src/content/docs/docs/commands/logs.md, .claude/skills/shipnode/SKILL.md	logs supports live follow, level and text filters, and server, app, and process targeting. Follow output labels its sources and closes the stream and fleet connections when it stops.
Fleet observation and monitor navigation src/cli/observe.ts, src/cli/commands/monitor.ts, src/cli/monitor/App.tsx, src/cli/monitor/fleet-model.ts, src/cli/monitor/hooks/*, src/cli/monitor/log-view-state.ts, tests/unit/monitor-fleet.test.ts	The monitor connects to planned hosts, builds fleet and replica views, and supports scoped logs, navigation, and replica-specific restart and rollback actions.
Monitor panels, shared components, and presentation src/cli/monitor/components/*, src/cli/monitor/layout/*, src/cli/monitor/panels/*, src/cli/monitor/theme.ts, tests/unit/monitor.test.ts, website/src/content/docs/docs/commands/monitor.md, website/src/components/Commands.astro	The monitor adds shared panels, tables, key hints, and theme utilities. Its views present fleet, server, process, release, accessory, activity, and log information.

Loading

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 81b13

The new fleet monitor and log streaming are largely sound, but a few narrow defects remain. After a reconnect, live logs can occasionally drop, duplicate, or merge lines. Separately, an unusual --domain value can produce a config file that does not load. These are small fixes and can be made before or shortly after merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 81b13

Fleet access remains tied to configured servers and identities, but continuous log following lacks an end-to-end memory bound. Automatic environment provisioning can also overwrite a concurrent operator update. These changes warrant review of observation failure containment and credential ownership.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · observed: Continuous log commands retain every received byte in the SSH executor despite the bounded display buffer. This accumulation predates the PR, but indefinitely running fleet followers newly make it session-long. A noisy or attacker-influenced followed source can exhaust the local monitor's resources and remove visibility across the observed fleet; filters and buffer clearing do not bound the SSH capture.
• Medium · security · inferred: Automatic first-deploy provisioning checks for a missing remote environment file and later replaces that path unconditionally. A concurrent shipnode env upload between these operations can be overwritten with older local configuration or an empty file. Deployment locking serializes deployments, but does not coordinate this operator writer; atomic replacement prevents truncation, not credential-update loss. The resulting authentication impact depends on the deployed application.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The log-retention concern crosses from one followed remote source into the local fleet-wide CLI process. An actor able to generate sufficient log output could disrupt observation of other configured hosts without gaining their SSH authority. The environment race is confined to the targeted app/server file, but that shared file supplies configuration to subsequent releases.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — Every SSH data chunk is appended to captured stdout or stderr before stream parsing and presentation filtering. No capture byte limit is applied to continuous followers. The line assembler also retains an incomplete line without a byte bound.
• inferred — A concrete stale-writer sequence is possible: provisioning observes no file, an operator uploads credentials, then provisioning performs its forced rename. This can undo the operator's update, including by installing an empty file. Credential loss is supported by the write ordering; an authentication bypass is not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Observation selects declared server targets and connects using each target's configured SSH identity. Root fallback is an explicit setup-command policy, not inherited by fleet observation. Follow-command namespaces, units, and log paths are shell-quoted.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Monitor rollback switches the release symlink before restarting processes and reports restart failure without restoring that symlink. This partial-transition behavior already existed for PM2 in v3; head adds a sequential systemd restart path. The comparison does not establish a new security consequence from this behavior.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Give continuous execution an explicit bounded or capture-disabled mode, and bound partial-line bytes as well as display retention so one source cannot consume fleet-session memory indefinitely.
• proposed — Make initial environment installation atomically create-if-absent, or coordinate all environment writers under a shared ownership lock. For security-sensitive applications, explicitly require credential validation and an appropriate readiness endpoint before accepting empty environment provisioning.

src/cli/monitor/hooks/use-log-stream.ts (1)

31-73: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The stream can be created after unmount and then never stops.

The planning IIFE awaits planLogSources for every host. If the dashboard unmounts during planning, the cleanup sets cancelled = true, and the unmount effect at Lines 76-81 sees streamRef.current === null. The IIFE then returns early, so no stream starts. That case is handled.

A second problem remains. The effect depends on hosts. If hosts changes identity while planning is in progress, the cleanup sets cancelled = true. startedRef.current stays true, so the effect does not run again. As a result, streaming never starts for the rest of the session. App passes connection.hosts, which is stable today, so this is a latent risk. If you want to guard against it, reset startedRef.current = false in the cleanup when streamRef.current === null.

src/domain/observe/log-source.ts (1)

71-78: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The Watt unit-to-process mapping assumes one unit per declared process, in the same order.

processes[index] assumes resolveWattUnits returns exactly one unit per declared process, in declaration order. With colors: 'active', this holds today. If colors: 'all' is ever used here, the mapping breaks: there are two units per port process, so lines get the wrong process label, and processes[index] becomes undefined and throws. Build the label next to the unit, or document this coupling.

Review comments at @src/cli/commands/init.ts:
- Around line 106-111: Validate `--domain` in both the CLI option checks beside
`--host` and the interactive prompt in `init`, using the existing
`isValidIpOrHostname` validator. Allow an empty or whitespace-only value to skip
the domain, and reject other invalid values before `generateConfig` writes them.

Review comments at @src/cli/commands/logs.ts:
- Around line 48-52: Update textFilter to retain the last detected log level and
use it for lines where isContinuation(line) is true, matching LogStream.follow
behavior so non-follow level filtering keeps stack frames with their preceding
log entry.

Review comments at @src/domain/observe/log-line.ts:
- Around line 192-204: Update LogLine.accept to suppress replayed lines as a
contiguous run: before the first match, locate a replay entry; after matching,
compare each line only with the next replay entry and suppress it only when it
matches. End replay on the first mismatch, and ensure a repeated new line cannot
skip ahead to a later replay entry.

Review comments at @src/services/observe/log-stream.ts:
- Around line 192-209: Reset the LineAssembler at the start of each reconnect
attempt in the stream loop so a partial line from a rejected exec cannot be
combined with data from the next connection. Update the assembler initialization
in the loop containing executor.exec; preserve the existing push and flush
behavior for each attempt.
