# Tux-Dock Development Log

## 0.2-beta

This release introduces `tuxreaperd`, a micro init system for containers.

### Micro init

- Added `tuxreaperd.c`, a small C daemon used as PID 1 inside containers created by tux-dock.
- Runs as a subreaper (`PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER`) with a SIGCHLD handler that reaps every reparented/terminated descendant, so orphaned processes never accumulate as zombies.
- Forwards SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP to the primary workload and propagates its exit status (128 + signal for signal deaths).
- `compile.sh` statically builds it (`gcc -O2 -static -Wall -Wextra tuxreaperd.c -o build/tuxreaperd`) alongside the rest of the tree.
- `DockerManager::createContainer` bind-mounts `tuxreaperd` into the container as PID 1 and resolves the binary next to the `tux-dock` executable when it is not in the current directory.

### Tests

- Added `tuxreaperd-zombie-tests`, an in-container test suite that boots a container with `tuxreaperd` as PID 1 and verifies orphaned grandchildren are reaped (zero zombies), exit status is propagated, and `docker stop` cleanly shuts down via forwarded SIGTERM (exit 143).
- The HTML web test view now includes a "Tuxreaperd Zombie Reaping" section alongside the Docker integration and TUI transcript sections.

## 0.1.2-beta

This release adds signal trapping to prevent state corruption during long-running Docker operations.

### Reliability

- Added SIGINT (Ctrl+C) signal trapping during busy operations to prevent premature exit and socket corruption
- Added SIGTSTP (Ctrl+Z) signal trapping during busy operations to prevent suspension mid-operation
- Signals chain to previous handlers when not busy, preserving normal exit and suspend behavior
- Trap re-installs after terminal I/O restoration cycles to maintain protection through Attach Shell sessions
- Used SA_RESTART flag to prevent EINTR on blocking socket reads during signal delivery

### TUI

- Added visual feedback in busy modal when signals are trapped
- Shows "Ctrl+C ignored: operation in progress" when SIGINT is trapped
- Shows "Ctrl+Z ignored: operation in progress" when SIGTSTP is trapped

## 0.1.1-beta

This release establishes the first beta-quality Docker integration and TUI workflow.

### Docker integration

- Added direct Docker Engine API access through `/var/run/docker.sock`.
- Added startup Docker preflight using `GET /_ping` before launching the TUI.
- Added synchronous initial container and image loading.
- Added asynchronous cache refreshes after mutations and interactive sessions.
- Preserved cached state when a refresh fails.
- Added structured container/image JSON mapping with exited-container support.

### Process execution

- Replaced `system()` and `popen()` with a `fork`/`exec` process runner.
- Added captured stdout/stderr and inherited terminal I/O modes.
- Kept direct CLI execution for interactive terminal handoffs.

### Reliability

- Added HTTP response parsing for Content-Length, chunked transfer, and bodyless responses.
- Added robust handling for Docker `204` and idempotent `304` responses.
- Added tri-state stop polling: stopped, running, and unknown.
- Added bounded stop retries after transport timeouts.
- Stop completion now refreshes cached state before showing the result modal.

### TUI

- Replaced the persistent status panel with a centered actions panel.
- Added busy-operation modals with spinner feedback.
- Blocked input during long-running Docker operations.
- Added structured, scrollable container and image list dialogs.

### Tests

- Added HTTP response parser tests.
- Added container JSON mapping tests.
- Added operation-state tests.
- Added stop polling and timeout-sequence regression tests.
