Changelog

[3.2]

Changed

• Job progress messages now include the job’s queue type alongside the ID (for example > 29440036 (daemon): Pending: ...), and the final Completed state is rendered in green to match the colouring already applied to Pending and Running. (ops/sth-console!22)

Fixed

• Fixed a recurring warning: cache containers add: containers prime had per-row failures: row server_id mismatch error when listing containers on a server that had been rebuilt under the same name. The container cache now trusts the per-row server ID from the API, places rows under their actual ID, and clears stale rows still cached under the old ID in the same transaction. (ops/sth-console!22)
• Fixed server <name> boot, reboot, shutdown, rescue enable, and rescue disable printing a single Waiting for job to start line and never updating progress thereafter. The state-change endpoint now uses v1.5 of the API, which returns the job-queue type alongside the ID, so the progress monitor polls whichever queue (daemon or scheduler) the job actually landed on instead of the previously hardcoded daemon queue. (ops/sth-console!22)

[3.1]

Added

• Added a guided first-run bootstrap that fires when no ~/.sth-console/config.yml exists. Running sth-console with no arguments on a fresh install now drops the operator into a single-prompt setup (contact ID) for the production environment, SSHes to MySth to create the API key, verifies it works, and lands in the REPL ready to use. (ops/sth-console!21)
• Added a debug: true config flag that appends one line per API request attempt to ~/.sth-console/debug.log with the apikey query parameter, API-key field name variants (apikey, api_key, api-key), and sensitive POST-body fields (password, token, secret, auth) replaced with REDACTED. A startup notice tells you where the log lives when the flag is enabled. With the flag absent or false, behaviour is unchanged. (ops/sth-console!21)

Changed

• Improved env add reliability across the board: a pre-flight SSH check with retry surfaces access problems before the operator types anything; reseller:create and reseller:modify stderr is now surfaced verbatim; the safety confirm shows the modules and (on production) IP allow-list; Contact ID rejects up to three times before bailing; the new API key is verified via GetInfo before config.yml is written; reseller:modify retries on transport failure; partial-create failures surface the reseller ID and API key on stderr for manual recovery; new environment entries carry a # reseller_id: <id> audit comment; config.yml is now written at mode 0o600 (was 0o644) to match credential-file convention. (ops/sth-console!21)
• Cache failures now render exactly once in interactive mode; previously the same failure could surface twice (once from the cache wrapper and once from the consuming handler) or be silently dropped depending on the path. The new contract surfaces a single yellow warning: line and the command continues by falling through to the API.
• One-shot commands now exit non-zero on failure in both human (sth-console <command>) and script (SCRIPT=1 sth-console <command>) modes. Wrapping scripts that previously relied on sth-console returning 0 even after an error - including for unknown commands such as sth-console foobar - will now observe $? == 1 and should be updated accordingly. Successful invocations and degraded successes (cache miss with working API) continue to exit 0.

Fixed

• Fixed ip info <ip> not showing the server(s) using the address; the Servers row under the MySth column is now rendered with label, name, and id (or N/A when the address is unused).
• Fixed hydration of server records crashing when the Admin API returned false for primary_ip instead of a string.
• Fixed ssh <server> to a server with no usable primary IP showing a misleading “Server Not Found” message; now reports that the server has no primary IP and refuses to connect on 0.0.0.0.
• Fixed the first-run bootstrap routing to the interactive path when stdout was redirected (e.g. sth-console | tee log.txt), which previously stranded the operator at an invisible prompt; piped invocations now bail out with a clear stderr message. (ops/sth-console!21)

Removed

• Dropped support for the pre-2.0 config file formats (the flat url: + apikey: single-environment shape and the legacy multi-key map with no environments: wrapper). Any operator still on those formats will be routed to the first-run bootstrap on next start. Configurations written by 2.0 and later are unaffected. (ops/sth-console!21)
