The target Pi only has MariaDB, and SQL Server has no ARM64 build at
all - not a config problem, a real gap discovered during deployment
setup. Swapped the EF Core provider, regenerated every migration,
updated connection strings and the backup script everywhere they
appear.
Took two tries to land on a provider that actually works: Pomelo
builds fine against this project's EF Core 10 packages but fails at
runtime (it's compiled against 9's internal API surface, which moved
in 10 wherever Identity/DataProtection force the newer packages).
Oracle's official provider builds and migrates fine but has a real
MariaDB bug in its own migration-lock code, reproduced against a live
database. Kept Oracle's provider and worked around just that one
broken method - everything else it does is correct - rather than
give up more of the stack to chase a workaround.
Verified against a real local MariaDB end to end: all three
migrations applied, both hosts start clean, full suite still green.
U4. Console logging plus Sentry, a same-origin tunnel so ad blockers cannot
silence browser errors, Umami on the admin SPA, and six security events that
alert rules can actually be built on.
The correlation id is the W3C trace id from the ambient Activity, enabled by
one line of ActivityTrackingOptions so every entry from every category carries
it without touching a call site. It propagates across the master/slave
boundary via traceparent, which TraceIdentifier cannot do at all, and it is
the same value ProblemDetails already returns to the browser.
The security events use source-generated LoggerMessage with constant
templates. Sentry groups log events by message, so interpolating an email
address would give every address its own issue and "more than 20 failed
logins in five minutes" could never fire — the events would arrive, be
visible, be tagged, and the alerting would silently be impossible. A test
asserts the rendered message is identical across argument values.
Scrubbing happens in-process, before transmission, and covers Set-Cookie as
well as Cookie: the login response issues the refreshToken there, so
scrubbing only the request side would protect nothing. Transactions are
scrubbed too, because they carry request data and are the channel nobody
thinks of.
The tunnel derives its destination from the DSN once at startup and reads
nothing from the request, which is what separates a tunnel from a
server-side request forgery primitive. Size is capped by a bounded read
rather than by trusting Content-Length, and the endpoint is rate limited.
Two things found along the way. Zod 4's url() hands the value to the URL
constructor, which accepts any scheme — so the existing frontend validation
would have accepted the exact "htp://" typo BR-U4-24 names, and the SPA
would have called a nonexistent origin. Now constrained to http(s). And the
new appsettings comments are verified against the real configuration
provider, because the failure mode if it rejected them is both hosts
refusing to start after a release switch.
One deviation. IAdminTokenValidator was meant to gain a reason-reporting
overload; implemented that way, a substitute returning false by default
silently inverted the access decision while both methods compiled. Two
methods whose difference is invisible at the call site is the defect, so it
is now a single Validate returning AdminTokenResult.
Touches two files from already-committed units: DatabaseMigrationExtensions
(U2) gains a flush before the rethrow, or the one Critical event in the
system dies with the process; AdminTokenValidator (U1) classifies why a
bypass was refused.
Build 0 errors; 366 backend tests pass, up from 315, and 237 frontend tests,
up from 213. tsc clean, eslint clean on every changed file.

U3. These headers normally come from nginx, but the deployment target does
not allow server configuration, so the application emits them itself. That
changes the failure mode: a bad nginx config fails loudly at reload, while a
middleware that never runs sends nothing and says nothing.
Two policies, defined in code. Strict for /admin, /api/v1 and /health;
relaxed for the public website, which is authored elsewhere by someone who
has never seen this policy. Configuration decides where a policy applies and
which external origins are permitted; it cannot invent a policy that is
subtly permissive.
script-src 'self' under Strict has no 'unsafe-inline' and no 'unsafe-eval',
asserted by a test so that loosening it means deleting a test that says why.
style-src does carry 'unsafe-inline' and cannot not: Radix positions its
overlays with inline style attributes, which nonces cannot reach at all.
Two traps handled explicitly. StartsWithSegments rather than string
StartsWith, because "/administrator".StartsWith("/admin") is true and a
public page would silently lose its inline scripts with no server-side trace.
And all decision logic sits in a static writer rather than in the middleware,
because DefaultHttpContext.Response.OnStarting is a no-op — the obvious
middleware test observes nothing and an assertion that nothing was written
passes for entirely the wrong reason.
An unknown policy name fails ValidateOnStart, so the process exits rather
than quietly serving /admin under the relaxed policy. Origin format is
validated too, beyond what the design asked: a CSP source list silently
ignores a malformed source, so a URL with a path would look configured and
block the script anyway.
BR-U3-22's Umami startup warning is withdrawn (REF-U3-01) — the backend
never sees VITE_UMAMI_WEBSITE_ID. It becomes a blocking CI gate in U5.
Build 0 errors; 315 tests pass, up from 253.

Nothing here is visible in normal operation. Its whole purpose is that
swapping the release directory on deploy cannot silently destroy state.
Data Protection secures the API keys that authenticate master/slave
communication. Two separate defaults would each have destroyed them:
keys are held on the filesystem, which a release swap discards, and the
application discriminator is derived from the content root path, which
changes with every release directory — so even keys stored in a database
would have stopped being derivable. Keys now live in
ApplicationDbContext and the discriminator is a fixed constant.
Losing them produces no error. It produces stored keys that no longer
decrypt, which presents as an apparent network fault between a Master
and its slaves and is easily misdiagnosed. That is also why the tests
assert the resulting configuration rather than the registration: the
XmlRepository must be the EF one and the discriminator must be the
constant, plus a round-trip proving a value encrypted before a deploy is
readable after one. A test that only checked "Data Protection is
registered" would have passed in the broken case too.
Both modules previously called AddDataProtection() themselves. Module
registration runs after the host's, so those calls re-registered the
configuration chain and would have overridden the persistent store while
IDataProtector still resolved. They are removed, with a comment at each
site — the deletion otherwise looks like a regression. Each module's own
test project now guards against it being reintroduced.
ApplicationDbContext also migrates itself at startup. Deploy targets
offer no CLI, so migrations cannot be a manual step on the server.
Failures are classified rather than treated alike: a connection failure
means the database is not up yet, normal when the app and the database
start together after a reboot, and is retried with backoff; a migration
failure means something is broken and fails at once. Either way the
process does not start, which is what makes the liveness health check
trustworthy — an application that cannot reach its schema never answers
/health, so monitoring goes red instead of reporting a healthy instance
that cannot serve a request.
The cost of migrating without a human gate is that migrations must stay
forward-compatible and non-destructive, since rollback is "redeploy the
previous release". The new migration is purely additive.
Also wires this and the preceding hosting commit into both hosts, as
they touch the same lines of Program.cs.
Two constraints are enforced by documentation rather than code, and
belong in the deployment instructions: the key table must never be
pruned, and only one instance may migrate a given database at a time.

Prepares the single-host layout for deployment. The customer's public
website moves from wwwroot/ to wwwroot/web/, so a CMS deploy can no
longer overwrite content it does not own: with the website in its own
directory, the release directory can be swapped without touching it.
Each front-end gets its own file provider, and both tolerate a missing
directory at startup — a fresh deployment has no website until a
separate workspace deploys one, and the CMS must still serve /admin and
the API. When the website's index.html is absent, an embedded
placeholder is served instead of a 404, which also doubles as proof the
CMS itself is running. The placeholder is embedded in the assembly
rather than shipped into wwwroot/web/, because that directory is owned
and overwritten by the website workspace.
Adds GET /health for uptime monitoring. It reports infrastructure
liveness only and is deliberately NOT the same thing as
/api/v1/Availability/status or /api/v1/System/capabilities: those are
CMS domain state that also serve the master/slave protocol. A healthy
instance can be switched off by design, and a switched-on instance can
be unhealthy, so conflating them would alert on business state and stay
silent on real outages. /health is on the availability gate's bypass
list for the same reason.
Fixes a real defect in the gate's admin bypass. It parsed the bearer
token with ReadJwtToken, which reads claims without verifying the
signature, so an unauthenticated caller could forge an unsigned token
carrying an Owner role claim and bypass the gate that suspends a
customer's site. Protected endpoints still rejected them, so nothing
leaked — but the gate itself was bypassable. The token is now fully
validated against the same parameters as the bearer scheme, resolved
from one shared source so the two cannot drift apart.
Host wiring for these changes lands with the data-durability commit,
since both units touch the same lines of Program.cs.

Relocates ModuleOrchestrator, ServiceCollectionExtensions, and
ApiPrefixConvention from SlpModularCms.Api into SlpModularCms.Core.Hosting
so a new Master-less SlpModularCms.Api.Slave host project (ports 5285/7222)
can share the same bootstrap code without duplicating it. This lets a
developer run a master instance and a slave instance side by side locally
to test the master/slave connection, without touching the existing
master/slave protocol itself.
Relocates the two orchestrator/convention test files from
Modules.Identity.Tests to Core.Tests, dropping an incidental
ProjectReference to SlpModularCms.Api that existed only for those tests.
