Conversation
The startup gate speaks once about the path as it was when the daemon started. A second gate re-validates the opened inode before every invocation, and until now it refused in total silence: the daemon knew the script had not run, while the operator saw an ordinary green backup with no line anywhere to tell the two apart. The mute starters now return the refusal instead of dropping it, and personal_scripts_gate.go - the file that already owns every loud thing about this feature - writes one WARNING naming the variable and the specific reason, bracketed by the usual debug Start/End pair. What the script itself does is still discarded: its output, its exit code, a timeout kill, and a fork that failed on its own account. Also document what clears a READY WITH WARNING. A hard link into a root-owned directory removes the cause; a bind mount hides it without removing it. Neither weakens the per-run gate, which revalidates the opened inode either way.
The per-run refusal warning was filed under 0.37.0, which meant squeezing it past the eight-highlight cap by merging two lines that were fine as they were. It belongs to the next line instead: 0.38.0 opens with it, and 0.37.0 goes back to the eight it had. The rule that avoids the next squeeze is written down rather than remembered. An operator-visible change adds its note in the same commit, because what a change meant to the person running ProxSave is known while it is being made and reconstructed badly afterwards. CONTRIBUTING.md carries it for the repo; CLAUDE.md is gitignored, so the copy there is local to one machine and below the gitnexus:end marker analyze rewrites.
The release notes screen offered "enter continue - esc cancel", and the two keys did the same thing. Since the seen-flag is written however a person closes the screen, esc resolved a different error and reached the same outcome, while the footer promised a cancel over a screen with nothing to cancel. Esc and q are now swallowed there, and the footer stops offering them. Enter is the only key that closes Screen 0; Ctrl+C is untouched, being the router's emergency exit above every screen. The option is per-screen, never a change of default: the restore plan opts into nothing and keeps esc declining the restore, which a reflex dismiss must never turn into acceptance. WithPagerNoAbort is deliberately not WithPagerAbort(nil), which would leave both keys resolving while the footer no longer named them - a key that works unadvertised is the same lie as a key advertised and inert. Also correct the whatsnewRender comment, which still described esc and q as ways out, and say why requiring one key to LEAVE a screen is not the trap issue #305 was about: that one was a warning left armed behind a gesture nobody knew they owed.
PBS keeps the ACME account registrations as one JSON document per account under /etc/proxmox-backup/acme/accounts/, created 0700 root:root. ProxSave looked for a file acme/accounts.cfg that no PBS release writes (#313), which cost three things: - every PBS run with ACME configured logged "ACME accounts: not configured", counted a missing file and, through the warning counter, promoted an otherwise clean backup to a non-zero exit code; - BACKUP_PBS_ACME_ACCOUNTS=false excluded "**/acme/accounts.cfg", a pattern that cannot match the directory, so the ACME private keys stayed in the archive while the operator was told the toggle removed them; - the pbs_host restore category listed the same phantom file, so the accounts were never staged and never applied, while the restore plan promised the operator they would be. The manifest entry now describes the directory. collectPBSConfigFile cannot: os.Stat succeeds on a directory and safeCopyFile then skips it as a non-regular file, so the entry would have read "collected" for something never copied. setPBSManifestDirEntry reuses describePathForManifest, the same way the PVE manifest describes its directories, and reports what the /etc/proxmox-backup snapshot actually captured. On restore the directory is mirrored, not merged: an account on the node that the backup does not carry is removed, matching what the other pbs_host applies do to the contents of the file they rewrite. A stage without the directory carries no information about accounts (an older archive, or the toggle off at backup time) and leaves the node untouched. Modes are set explicitly, because /etc/proxmox-backup is 0700 backup:backup and inheriting from it would hand the account keys to the backup service account. Verified on PBS 4.2.5: acme/accounts is a directory present from install, and there is no accounts.cfg anywhere.
…ge leaves Three faults of ours, found while investigating a duplicated CUSTOM_BACKUP_PATHS on a live PVE host. The duplicate itself came from an operator edit that dropped the leading C of the key, but what followed was all ours. A name one character away from a real variable is now reported as a probable typo, naming the variable it was meant to be, and it counts as an issue. Until now "USTOM_BACKUP_PATHS is not a known variable and is ignored" was the same sentence used for settings that were simply retired, at the same INFO level, filed among six obsolete names. On that host it meant two custom backup paths were silently left out of every run for months. The audit already had the vocabulary for this: a legacy name set alongside its canonical twin earns a WARNING because one of the two lines has no effect, and a typo is that same harm under another shape. Detection is Damerau distance one - dropped, added, changed, or two adjacent characters swapped - which is what an editor slip produces; anything further apart is a different name and stays a plain unknown. Checked against the host's real files: it fires on the damaged one and on neither current one. The upgrade merge now writes a missing key INSIDE the section that documents it. It anchored on the previous key and inserted immediately after it, which put the key above its own header: the operator found a variable detached from the block explaining it, and a header documenting nothing. The insertion point now walks past the template's own intervening comment lines for as long as the file repeats them verbatim, and stops at the first line that differs, so a file that moved those comments keeps today's placement instead of having the merge guess. --upgrade-config and its dry run now report what the merge cannot fix. The merge only adds what the template has and the file lacks, so a variable assigned twice is invisible to it - and the repair command answered "already up to date with the embedded template" over a file that every backup run warns about. It now names the duplicate, its winning line and the discarded ones, and any probable typo. It only reports: removing the discarded lines is an edit to the operator's file, and that decision is not taken here.
SKIP_PERMISSION_CHECK shipped in backup.env and was listed in envOverrideKeys, so it could be set from the file or the environment and was read back into the raw map. No code ever carried it any further: configurePreBackupChecker built the CheckerConfig without it, and GetDefaultCheckerConfig's false was the only value the checker saw. A host that set it true still ran the permission check, and nothing said so. Read the key into Config alongside the other knobs the checker consumes, and copy it into CheckerConfig where the disk-space minimums and the I/O timeout are copied. Also drop "for internal use by --upgrade" from the --show-whatsnew help. The flag is re-invoked by --upgrade, but it is also the way an operator clears the unseen-notes warning after an unattended upgrade, which every doc already documents and which whatsnew_warn.go really emits.
…ere they belong The docs still read as a flag manual with a dashboard bolted on: INSTALL.md recommended proxsave --upgrade with no caveat, cron examples were the normal way to schedule, and the restore guide opened on --restore. That is not how an operator is meant to use ProxSave, and it is what issue #314 read back to us. Every operator-facing document now leads with the dashboard row that does the job and keeps the flag as the automation or emergency form: headless hosts, cron, scripts, and recovery when the TUI cannot run. No flag documentation was removed. The daemon is the scheduler and cron is the opt-out, in every file that mentions either. The pass also corrected what the code contradicted: cron examples invoking the build path with no flag instead of /usr/local/bin/proxsave --backup, a Check row that is labelled Re-check, "the last 10 issue lines" for a recap that shows the first 10, and the upgrade story itself. The config merge is always run by the freshly installed binary, and from 0.36.0 the whole finalize is delegated to it, so only a host below that floor has its migration decided by the binary being replaced. CONFIGURATION.md gains the dashboard form field map, the PBS variables that were missing from a reference that called itself complete, and SKIP_PERMISSION_CHECK.
The type detection walks a ladder of markers and returns at the first one that fires, so a single leftover directory on a PVE-only host is enough to produce a dual verdict - and the run then aborts on proxmox-backup-manager, a command that host never had (issue #315). Nothing in any log said what detection had looked at, so a wrong verdict could only be explained with access to the host. Detection now records every rung it reaches: the marker, the exact target (path or command, re-anchored under SYSTEM_ROOT_PREFIX), and the answer. The trace travels on EnvironmentInfo with the marker that decided each product, and the bootstrap logger writes it at debug, which reaches the log whether debug comes from the flag or from backup.env. The ladder stops at its first hit and so cannot say what ELSE is on the host. MarkerSnapshot answers that: the full marker table, the same one the detection failure debug file has always written, now shared by both and logged at debug once the run level is known. It restats every marker, so it runs on debug runs only. Nothing branches on any of this; the verdict is unchanged.

guaranteed-missing path beneath t.TempDir(), and pass that path instead of the
host-dependent "/usr/local/bin/whatever" literal; keep the existing validation
and refusal assertions unchanged.
In `@docs/DAEMON.md`:
- Around line 123-129: Update the in-place proxsave --upgrade description to
state that, from release 0.36.0 onward, the freshly installed binary also
performs post-install finalization such as daemon migration and restart, not

- Line 1112: Update the daemon healthcheck wording in the relevant documentation
sentence to avoid claiming a fixed count of four checks; use “four check
families” or remove the total while preserving the explanation of one
notification check per channel.

Apply the host prefix to each reported probe.
When RootPrefix is set, Line 797 labels the result with resolveUnderPrefix(bin) but isExecutable(bin) stats the unprefixed appliance path. The snapshot can therefore report that a host binary is executable based on a different local file. The command checks on Lines 790-791 also run against the appliance even though prefixed detection skips those probes.
Resolve the executable path before statFunc. Report command probes as skipped when hostRooted() is true.

…ccount The staged ACME apply mirrors: it writes the accounts the backup carries and removes from the node the ones it does not. A staged entry that was not a regular file - a symlink, a nested directory - was logged and skipped, and the skip also skipped recording the name as applied. The mirror then deleted the live account of that name. The node lost a working registration and its private key, while the staged replacement it was meant to get was never written either, and the removal was logged as "not present in the backup", which it was. Neither end of the pipeline normalizes those entries away: the collector preserves a symlink as a symlink and recreates a subdirectory as a directory, and the extractor materializes both. A symlink pointing outside the stage fails extraction and never reaches the apply, but a relative one and a directory do. The whole staged set is now validated before the destination is touched, and any entry that is not a regular account file refuses the apply. That is already the rule one level up, where a staged accounts path that is a file instead of a directory is a hard error; skipping was the odd one out. The caller records the item as failed, so the restore ends with warnings and every live account is left exactly as it was - including the account directory itself, which is no longer created for an archive that was rejected. The tests now pin what a refused stage does to the node rather than only what it does not carry onto it: a same-named live account survives, so do the others, and the destination directory is not created.
The merge places a missing key by walking forward from the last key the user's file actually has, over the section header and the comments the template puts between the two, for as long as the file repeats them. The walk covered the whole span between the anchor and the key, and that span includes the lines of any OTHER key missing in between. Those are lines the file cannot have - that is what missing means - so the comparison failed on the first of them and the walk stopped at the anchor. With two variables deleted from the same section, the second one therefore got the same insertion point as the first and was written beside it, above its own comments. Where the anchor is the last key of the previous section the miss is wider: on the shipped template, dropping SAFE_KERNEL_PROCESSES and MIN_DISK_SPACE_PRIMARY_GB put the disk-space variable inside the security section, nineteen lines above its own header. Nothing is lost and no value changes - the file still parses and the defaults are correct - but the variable is filed where nobody would look for it, and the comment block above it is left documenting nothing. The walk now steps over the template span of each intermediate missing entry without consuming a user line, then goes on matching the comments the two files do share. One entry between anchor and key or five makes no difference. Deleting the variables is the case this fixes. Commenting them out instead leaves the disabled line in the file, which matches nothing in the template, so the walk still stops there and the placement is the one it was before: the merge does not guess, by design.
… the upgrade adds Deleting a variable and commenting it out are the same thing to the merge - both read as missing, and both get the template line written back - but they are not the same thing to the walk that decides WHERE it goes. A commented-out line stays in the file and matches nothing in the template, so the walk stopped on it, and the previous fix only covered the file where the variable had been deleted outright. Two adjacent variables switched off with a # still came back stacked together, above the comments of the second one. The walk now steps over the disabled copy of a missing entry along with that entry's template span. Recognition is exact: the line after the marker, inline comment and all, has to equal the template line. A disabled line whose value the operator also edited is therefore NOT a copy, the walk stops there as before, and the line is preserved untouched - the merge still does not guess. A block value is matched line by line and all or nothing, so a half-commented block is not mistaken for a disabled one, and a file that deleted the variable consumes nothing and behaves exactly as it did. The tests cover both spellings of missing in the same file, in both orders, with and without a space after the marker, plus the edited-line case that must keep today's placement.
The table exists to explain a detection that came out wrong, so every line has to be evidence about the machine the line names. Three were not, and all three were verified on a live PVE 9.1.9 + PBS 4.2.5 node. Under SYSTEM_ROOT_PREFIX the ladder refuses to run pveversion and proxmox-backup-manager, and says why: a command run inside the appliance answers for the appliance, not for the mounted host. The snapshot ran them anyway. On the test host the ladder recorded six PBS markers as missing on the mounted host while the table, in the same output, printed the appliance's own /usr/sbin/proxmox-backup-manager. Someone reading that to find out why PBS was not detected is told it is there. The probes are now reported as skipped, with the reason on each line, because each line leaves as its own log entry. isExecutable stat-ed the bare literal while the line carried the re-anchored path, the only one of the marker helpers that did not re-anchor. Both directions showed up on the test host at once: /usr/bin/pveversion read "exists: NO, executable: YES" off the appliance's copy, and /usr/sbin/pveversion, present and 0755 on the mounted host, read "exists: YES, executable: NO". The section also carried its own hardcoded list of three paths, which named /usr/bin/proxmox-backup-manager and not /usr/sbin. PBS 4.2.5 installs it in /usr/sbin, so on a real PBS host, with no prefix in play, the table reported the binary absent while the offline section two blocks below found it. That list is now its own named set, kept a superset of the offline candidates for the two probed binaries by a test, so the two cannot drift apart again unnoticed. None of this ever changed a verdict: isExecutable has one caller, the table, and the ladder skips the command probes already. What it changed is the answer the table gives to the person holding a wrong verdict.
…ilesystem The test asserted that a path which does not exist is refused, and named /usr/local/bin/whatever to be that path. Nothing makes it so: the name belongs to the host the test runs on. If a file of that name were there, root-owned and 0755, the gate would accept it and the assertion would fail for a reason with nothing to do with what the test pins, which is that stdin, stdout and stderr are left nil. Not a hypothetical directory: on the PVE test node /usr/local/bin holds twelve operator-installed entries, symlinks to Go tooling and to proxsave itself among them. The name happens to be free there; the test should not need it to be. It now builds the path under t.TempDir(), which the sibling test seventy lines below was already doing. No production code changes, and the eleven-case gate matrix behind the assertion was checked unchanged on that node as root: missing path, relative path, 0700, 0755, group-writable, other-writable, non-executable, symlink, directory, fifo and a script owned by uid 34 all answer as before.
Each one was checked against the code that decides it, and three against a live PVE 9.1.9 + PBS 4.2.5 node. SECURITY.md said a dashboard Backup runs in its own process. It does not: menu.ActionBackup stashes the graphical session and returns, and runBackupMode adopts it, so the run happens in the process that drew the menu. NOTIFICATIONS.md already said so, and the two contradicted each other. DAEMON.md said that on an in-place --upgrade only the backup.env merge runs under the new binary, and that the daemon-migration decision is therefore always the replaced binary's. From 0.36.0 the whole finalize is handed over - merge, docs, symlinks, legacy cron, migration and restart - so the new binary decides. The paragraph now says which release the handover starts at, what never moves (release check, download, signature and checksum, install), and that the externally fetched route hands over regardless. EXAMPLES.md called the healthcheck set "four checks" and then listed one of the four as being per notification channel. There are three fixed checks - alive, backup, updates - plus one per channel. Two more mentions of the same wrong total, in the EXAMPLES.md link list and in CONFIGURATION.md, are gone with it. PROVENANCE_VERIFICATION.md promised that an upgrade restarts the resident daemon. It restarts one only when there is one running: the restart is guarded on daemonIsActive, and a cron host has no daemon. DASHBOARD.md already qualified it. NOTIFICATIONS.md offered one cause for "no notify-* sensor ever appears" and sent every reader toward the scheduler. A daemon host with HEALTHCHECK_ENABLED=false has no sensors either, and the fix is a different one - the healthchecks screen does not write that variable, only the installer and --daemon-setup do. INSTALL.md advertised manual installation for hosts with no outbound GitHub access, then told them to git clone and go mod tidy, and offered it for non-amd64 architectures while downloading go1.26.8.linux-amd64. The scope now matches the commands. It also told everyone to edit configs/backup.env, which is the wrong file on an install made with --config; it now points at the path the install banner prints. No release-notes line: nothing an operator can observe changed in the product, and the registry has never carried documentation entries.
A self-mode host can name its service-alive check two ways: the full ping URL in HEALTHCHECK_ALIVE_URL, or the check id in HEALTHCHECK_ALIVE_ID, which the daemon assembles against HEALTHCHECK_PING_ENDPOINT. The endpoint defaults to a public host, so the id alone is a complete configuration and the backups of such a host ping a real check and exit 0. The dashboard's healthcheck screen read the full URL alone and reported that same host as NOT CONFIGURED. Both sides shipped that way in 0.37.0, and HEALTHCHECKS.md documented the disagreement rather than resolving it: it told the operator their working host would read as unconfigured and to set the full URL to satisfy both. The resolution now lives in one place, config.HealthcheckSelfPingURL, and both sides call it. The daemon's selfURLs keeps its behaviour and loses its private copy of the assembly; the setup bootstrap resolves the alive target the same way before deciding eligibility. Checked on the PVE test node against a written backup.env, six configurations: id alone and id with a ping key both resolve and the screen runs its reachability check; a full URL still wins over an id; and an id with the ping endpoint explicitly emptied resolves to nothing and reads NOT CONFIGURED, which is now the only case where the screen is stricter than the run - the run's start-up check only looks for a non-empty id and would then have nothing to ping. HEALTHCHECKS.md says so in place of the old note. The two skip messages named a missing URL; they name a missing check now, and say that an id with a ping endpoint is the other way to supply one. Release notes: the two ACME account lines were one subject and are merged into one, which is what makes room for this fix's line without dropping anything.
…carry Three places describe the PBS Merge behavior, and they promised more than the code does. The two selection screens are already precise - they say Merge avoids "API-side" deletions - but the documentation dropped the qualifier and read as "Merge does not delete", which is what a reviewer flagged and what an operator choosing between the two would believe. What Merge actually leaves alone is the API-applied categories. Seven files have no stable API and are written straight from the stage in both modes, whole-file, so a section the backup does not carry is gone afterwards: acme/plugins.cfg, metricserver.cfg, proxy.cfg, and the four of pbs_tape. The acme/accounts/ directory goes further and is mirrored, so an ACME account registered on the node and absent from the backup is removed in Merge too, taking its private key with it. RESTORE_GUIDE.md already carried the accurate paragraph, immediately under the bullet that contradicted it; the bullet now points at it. CONFIGURATION.md had the bullet and no paragraph, and gets one. RESTORE_TECHNICAL.md said "Merge creates/updates only (no deletions)" flat out, and now says through what. The behavior is unchanged and deliberate: the file-only items cannot be merged section by section without a parser for the PBS .cfg format, and the ACME mirror exists so a restored node.cfg is not left referencing an account set the backup never described. This commit makes the operator able to know that before choosing, which is the part that was missing.
rootPrefix is a package-level variable with no lock on it. What makes that safe is that exactly two functions set it, each for one call and each restoring the previous value, and both are reached only from the sequential process bootstrap, so the two never overlap. A reviewer read the same code and called it a race: concurrent callers would inspect paths under each other's prefix and return a snapshot, or a verdict, for the wrong machine. They are right about the mechanism and it is not reachable. The only entry points are main_runtime.go:37, :109 and :210 and main_runtime_log.go:34, all in bootstrap; nothing in the daemon or the dashboard calls this package at all. Threading the prefix through the detection helpers instead - 15 functions, 34 resolveUnderPrefix calls, some 89 call sites - would remove one package-level seam and leave statFunc, readFileFunc, lookPathFunc and runCommandFunc exactly as they are, so the package would still not be safe to call concurrently. What was actually wrong is that the guarantee lived in a comment that had gone stale: it named DetectWith as the only setter, and MarkerSnapshot had become the second one without anyone updating it. The comment now states the argument in full, names both setters, and says what breaks it. The test reads the package's own source and fails when a third function assigns the variable. It is a prompt, not a prohibition: the message says to re-read the sequential-bootstrap argument for the new call site and update the comment, or to stop using a global. Verified by adding a third setter and watching it fail. No release-notes line: a comment and a test change nothing an operator sees.
The troubleshooting row added yesterday said the installer and --daemon-setup are the only things that write the variable. applyCronMode writes it too, to false, in the same setBackupEnvKeys call as SCHEDULER_MODE=cron, which is what --daemon-remove and the dashboard's Disable run. An operator reading the row after a revert would assume their own value was still in the file. Nothing rewrites the key afterwards - maybeAutoMigrateDaemon returns early once SCHEDULER_MODE is recorded - so a false left by a revert survives every later upgrade. The row says that now.

Greptile Summary
This release substantially expands ProxSave’s dashboard-first workflows, configuration diagnostics, PBS backup and restore handling, healthcheck setup, personal-script reporting, environment detection, documentation, and release-note presentation.
--daemon-removeas a writer ofHEALTHCHECK_ENABLED.Confidence Score: 4/5
The PR is not yet safe to merge because merge-mode PBS restores can still delete live ACME accounts absent from the backup.
The outstanding PBS restore finding remains valid:
maybeApplyPBSConfigsFromStagecallsapplyPBSAcmeAccountsFromStageforpbs_hostregardless of restore behavior, and that helper mirrors the staged directory by removing destination accounts outside its keep set even in merge mode. The environment-detection thread was manually resolved without explanation. The notification-writer thread was manually resolved after the latest change documented--daemon-remove.Files Needing Attention: internal/orchestrator/pbs_staged_apply.go
