- One "Bitcoin" category: the service catalog distinguishes bitcoin-base
from bitcoin-apps, which surfaced as two sidebar menus and two tile
sections. The Hub now normalizes both into a single "Bitcoin" category
(nav item with combined count, one tile section). CATEGORY_ALIASES in
constants.js maps the catalog keys; server config sends one
("bitcoin", "Bitcoin") entry and the node role allowlist is updated
to match. The nix catalog is unchanged.
- "Self-Hosted Apps" is now "Personal Apps" — every service here is
self-hosted, so the label added no distinction.
- Restart and retry actions (topbar Reboot, Restart Entire System in the
update and rebuild dialogs and the restart confirmation, Retry Update,
Try Again) are now blue instead of amber — amber read as an error.
Status pills keep their semantic colors (amber = restart required).
- The service-modal domain section is no longer a checklist: it is titled
"Domain Status" and shows a single green "Domain is active" line with
the domain (or the backend's not-configured detail and Configure
Domain action when there is no domain yet). No "Step 1" wording.
- Systems Operational keeps the complexity hidden: the Router card now
shows just a verdict — green "Ports 80 and 443 are open" or red
"Ports 80 and 443 are not open" — derived from the same live backend
diagnostics. Port-forwarding instructions are gone (onboarding covers
them); on the Node-only role the card still explains that ports only
matter once BTCPay Server or Lightning Wallet Connections (LNURL) is
enabled.
Eight fixes from live testing:
Systems Operational modal:
- Drop the "test from your phone on mobile data" (hairpin NAT) sentence
from the router note — too technical for the intended audience.
- Node-only role: when BTCPay Server and Lightning Wallet Connections
(LNURL) are both off, the router card becomes a simple "No router
setup needed yet" note explaining that ports 80/443 only matter if
one of those services is turned on. When one is enabled, the card
shows the same port steps and live domain/port diagnostics as the
Desktop + Server role (diagnostics now poll only enabled services).
Service modals:
- The Domain Diagnostic Checklist now shows only the domain-active
step (Domain Configured). DNS and port diagnostics live in Systems
Operational, which shows the full checklist.
- Node-only role: BTCPay Server and Lightning Wallet Connections
modals gain a "Ports to Forward in Your Router" section with the
standard 80/443 wording and this computer's LAN address.
- Domain setup and reconfigure dialogs no longer contain router
port-forwarding instructions (already handled during Desktop +
Server onboarding and shown in Systems Operational).
Lightning Wallet Connections:
- Refresh and New Wallet toolbar buttons now share one height and
baseline (a leftover 12px top margin on Refresh was offsetting it).
- The header status chip has a proper gap between the status dot and
its label.
Zeus Connect / QR codes:
- QR codes render at the original 240px with the white frame and
pixelated upscaling, restoring scannability.
Brand:
- The sidebar logo loads via /static/sovran-hub-icon.svg (same as the
login page) instead of an inline <use> symbol — the gradient-heavy
symbol did not render reliably. The icon sprite is hidden with the
browser-safe zero-size pattern instead of display:none.
Apply the approved "The Hub" redesign to the web admin while keeping every
existing mechanic intact (polling, service-detail modals, Matrix and system
password management, NWC wallet manager, update/rebuild/backup/security/
reboot flows, feature manager, onboarding, role handling).
Layout (templates/index.html):
- Old header bar + IP bar replaced by a sidebar + topbar app shell.
Sidebar carries the brand (The Hub / Sovran_SystemsOS version), category
navigation with live counts, the System actions (Update System, Tech
Support, Manual Backup, Security, node-only Upgrade), Feature Manager /
Preferences, and the role badge.
- Topbar carries the page title, a service search box, the LAN | WAN
network chip (external IP always visible, one line), Reboot and Sign Out.
- New widgets row: Systems Operational summary (opens the new Systems
Operational modal) and Bitcoin Core sync progress with block/ETA.
- New Systems Operational modal: service counts, router port-forwarding
steps (80/443 to this machine's LAN IP), the live domain diagnostics
checklist, and which services use those ports.
New static/js/dashboard.js (namespaced IIFE, no new globals) renders the
nav, search filtering, widgets, and the Systems Operational modal; it is
driven by the existing /api/services payloads via a
window.dashboardServicesUpdated() hook called from buildTiles/updateTiles.
Visual design (static/css/*):
- New token set (softer dark surfaces, lifted contrast, Sovran green
reserved for status and actions) with legacy variable names aliased so
every secondary sheet re-skins automatically.
- Tiles, dialogs, buttons, inputs, toggles, tables, forms, overlays and
the login page restyled to the GNOME/libadwaita-flavored surfaces:
20px cards, 26px dialogs, pill buttons, libadwaita switches, mono value
pills with Copy buttons, consistent modal anatomy.
- Inline SVG symbol set for chrome/nav icons (monochrome, currentColor);
service icons still load from /static/icons/*.svg as before.
- Sidebar system buttons now use vector glyphs instead of emoji.
Behavioral details:
- Service detail modal header gains a status pill next to the version
chip; credentials render with pre-wrap for multiline values.
- First-login security banner now renders as a card inside the content
area instead of a full-width strip above the app.
- Search + category filtering hide/show sections and tiles without
touching the polling or update logic.
Onboarding and login pages rebranded to "The Hub" with aligned palette.
