BREAKING CHANGE: PASSWORD is gone and AUTH and CERTRESOLVER are required.
The server's compose.yaml and .env must be updated in the same deploy — the
new image ignores PASSWORD, and the old one refuses to start without it.
Authelia now sits in front of Traefik, so the app was asking for a second
password at the same door. Two prompts, and the weaker of the two was the one
holding a single shared secret with no sessions, no MFA and no revocation.
Deleting it is the whole change: Authelia already does this properly, once,
for every service on the host.
Gone: auth(), challenge(), the whole of throttle.go and its tests, and
golang.org/x/time with them. routes() returns the bare mux, /healthz is an
ordinary route on it, and the smoke script drops sixty -u flags. Roughly 230
lines removed and nothing written to replace them.
What holds the app up now, both asserted in compose.yaml:
- The router names the Authelia middleware through AUTH. Traefik takes a
router out of service when its middleware does not resolve, so a typo or an
unset variable fails shut rather than serving the app open.
- The container still publishes no ports, so the proxy is the only thing that
can reach it. Publishing 8080 would now bypass authentication outright, not
merely TLS — the comment there says so.
certresolver replaces the bare tls=true, parameterised as CERTRESOLVER: the
server had been carrying that label by hand since the first deploy. Naming a
resolver implies tls=true, so it stays one label.
TestAuth and TestHealthzSkipsAuth are replaced by one test asserting every
route answers without credentials — a 401 from here would now mean auth had
crept back in.
## Fixed
- Days older than the first entry ever logged can now be opened. Picking a
date from before anything was recorded landed on a dead end.
## Changed
- Releases are built by CI. Merging this pull request builds the image,
tags it `vYYYYMMDD-N` and `latest`, pushes both, and creates the git
tag. Nothing is built locally any more.
- `make image`, `push`, `release`, `seed`, `icons` and `vendor` are gone;
the Makefile is down from 151 lines to 71. The two rare commands are
written out in the README.
- Every push to `dev` now runs `make check` in CI.
## Deployment
No new or renamed environment variables, and `compose.yaml` is unchanged —
nothing to copy to the server this time. Pull the new image once CI reports
the build finished.

Showstopper. Adding, editing or deleting a dish redirected to /ruoat, which stopped existing when the tab was renamed to Ruuat — every one of those actions ended on a 404. Live in v20260905-4. The tests missed it because they asserted only a 303; a redirect to a dead URL is still a 303. They now assert the target.
The page no longer jumps. Deleting a dish partway down the catalog, or opening a day in Kirjaa, sent the browser to the top. Both now patch in place via Datastar — bin, pencil, day rows, dish pills, save, delete, cancel and Näytä lisää. Links stay links and forms stay forms, so it works without JavaScript.
Non-production tabs are labelled. ENV=dev gives dev · Foodster.
Contributing guide added, and commits now take Conventional Commit types.
⚠️ Breaking: rewrite the server's .env in this deploy. Environment variables lost the FOODSTER_ prefix; the app refuses to start on an unset PASSWORD.
REPO=… TAG=latest PASSWORD=… HOST=foodster.kessinen.com
ENV=prod PUID=1000 PGID=1000 TZ=Europe/Helsinki
PUID/PGID rather than UID/GID — UID is read-only in bash and would be silently overwritten.

Tähteet — leftovers. Not a dish: it exists so a day can be recorded as "we ate what was already there" without inventing a meal nobody cooked. A special-flagged row created by migration 0002; never in the catalog, never editable, and excluded from the stage-2 suggester outright. It gets its own mark, a grey lidded tub — which exposed a bug where no categories drew the same icon as several.
The real dish list. The seed bundle is now your December 2024 list: 37 mains, 9 sides. Letut and Pannari dropped as not-dinners, Kanakintut folded into Broilerin koipireidet, has_sides assigned by rule.
The day list stays put. Choosing a day used to swap a panel in above the list and drop that day out of it, so rows below jumped up under the tap. The list is now the page; the selected day expands where it sits, with anchors so the viewport lands on the day rather than the top.
Release pipeline fixed. The last release silently pushed the previous image: release declared image and push as prerequisites and your make runs -j16, so they raced. Also, push re-derived the tag by date-sorting, which is ambiguous when two tags share a commit. It now reads what image recorded, and verifies afterwards that the registry serves what was built.

Structure
- Kirjaa and Historia are one page. They were two views of the same thing — every history row already linked into the logger, and the logger had a day switcher. Two tabs instead of three. Also closed a gap: on an already-logged day there was no way to swap to a different dish, only to re-pick its sides.
- Ruoat → Ruuat, label and route.
- The catalog has a structure. It had no top-level headings at all — the mains simply began with "Liha". Both halves now carry a heading and a count, categories are visibly subordinate, and the add/edit forms collapse instead of filling the screen before any content.
Finding things
- Dishes grouped by category on both screens, Sekalaiset for multi-category ones. Derived from the stored set, not a fifth category, so one Tortillat still covers all four for the §8.1 suggester later.
- Live search on both lists, 250 ms after typing stops. Both remain plain GET forms, so they still filter with JavaScript off.
- History is paged 30 days at a time — it previously rendered every day back to the first entry, forever.
Correctness
- Future meals refused. The picker offered them and ?pvm= accepted them.
- today() wasn't midnight, so it never equalled a date parsed from ?pvm= — after saving, the card read "la 5.9. kirjattu" instead of "Tänään kirjattu".
- Deletes ask first, for dishes and logged meals. The meal is the more destructive: a dish is only soft-deleted.
- DB open failures name the path and uid, instead of unable to open database file (14).
Visual
- Category icons replace colour dots — steak, drumstick, fish, leaf, quartered circle.
- Row actions are a pencil and a bin; the header has a surface.
Housekeeping
- Datastar SDK dropped — one JSON decode was pulling in four modules including an HTTP compression stack. Five lines replace it.
- Release policy documented: main protected, releases arrive as PRs.

Three pieces of chrome that were missing or misleading.
A header with the bowl mark and the app name, on every page. The page title
bar below it is no longer sticky: on a phone a tall sticky header eats the
screen, and the bottom tab bar already handles navigation.
A theme toggle, remembered per device in localStorage, because a shared
instance with no accounts should let the kitchen phone and the laptop
disagree. Dark by default, and the default lives in the server-rendered
markup so it survives with JavaScript off and never flashes. The button shows
the theme that is on — moon while dark, sun while light — rather than the one
a click would bring, and its label names the state before the action. Both
icons ship on every page and CSS picks one, so the server never needs to know
what this device chose. Following the system was considered and dropped: a
third state costs a control harder to read than the choice is worth.
The checkbox chips no longer hide the native control behind opacity: 0. With
only a background colour to go on there was no way to tell "Tarjoillaan
lisukkeiden kanssa" on from off. Colour is not a state indicator; a checkbox
is. This covers the side, category and has_sides chips alike.
Smoke checks cover the parts that would regress silently: that dark is the
no-JS default, and that both theme icons are present for CSS to choose from.
The favicon is a bowl of soup: this household's catalog is half keitto, so it
is at least honest. favicon.svg follows the system theme in the tab strip.
Home-screen icons cannot do the same. They must be opaque and must not change
with the theme, so assets/icon.svg is a separate fixed-colour source, with the
artwork inside the central 80% for Android to mask to any launcher shape. The
same 512 is declared maskable in the manifest.
`make icons` rasterises with rsvg-convert and compresses with
`oxipng -o max --zopfli`, which beat `optipng -o7` at every size — 5860 bytes
against 6109 for the three files. Plain `oxipng -o max` was not an upgrade: it
won the two small icons and lost the 512, ending up larger overall. All output
verified pixel-identical to the rasterizer. The PNGs are committed so the
build needs no rasterizer.
Two things that only fail on a real device, so both are covered by smoke
checks: Go has no mime entry for .webmanifest and served it as octet-stream,
which browsers ignore; and a manifest fetch carries no credentials by default,
so behind Basic auth it needs crossorigin="use-credentials" or it 401s.
The catalog could only be filled by importing JSON, which is a poor way to
add the one dish you are about to eat.
Ruoat now covers PRD §7.3 in full: add and edit mains with their categories
and has_sides, add and edit sides, and delete either. Deletes are soft, so a
log entry keeps resolving the dish it used and the freed name can be reused.
Validation messages are Finnish and the rejected form comes back filled in
rather than blank. Bulk import moves into a details element, since it is now
the occasional path rather than the only one.
Kirjaa gets the same ability without the detour: a search that finds nothing
offers to add what was typed, and saving creates the dish and continues
straight to the sides step. An empty catalog shows the same card instead of
dead-ending on a link to another tab, and the search box is no longer hidden
behind the empty state.
The importer's own insert is gone; it and the UI both go through createMain
and createSide, so duplicate detection lives in one place and reason() can
match on errNameTaken instead of poking at driver strings.
Stage 1's point is collecting eating history, so the logging path is the one
that has to be frictionless: pick a dish, tick sides, done.
Kirjaa:
- dishes ordered and sized by how often they have been eaten, so the likely
answer is the biggest target on the screen
- picking a dish opens the sides step; a dish with has_sides false says so
instead of offering an empty list
- saving redirects, so a refresh cannot double-post
- a day already logged shows the entry with edit and delete. Editing reopens
the sides step with the existing sides ticked, which makes editing and
creating the same screen
- day switcher and a server-side search over the catalog
Historia walks back day by day to the oldest entry, so a day nobody wrote
down appears as an explicit gap rather than quietly missing.
No JavaScript is involved: every interaction is a link or a form, and the
checked-chip styling is :has(input:checked). Datastar stays loaded but unused
until an interaction genuinely needs to avoid a page load.
Also fix a Makefile ordering bug: lint did not depend on generate, so `go vet`
could run against templ output that was being rewritten. check now runs its
phases as sub-makes so `make -j` cannot interleave them.
Records two features that are specified but not built: dish CRUD in the UI
(§7.3, only import exists today) and a per-device light/dark switch (§7.4).
The switch must show the state that is active, not the one clicking produces.
Bring up the stage 1 skeleton described in the PRD, enough that the app
builds, serves, and can be populated with dishes.
- net/http server with shared-password Basic auth, /healthz outside it,
graceful shutdown, and TZ-aware calendar days
- SQLite via modernc (pure Go, static binary), opened with WAL and a single
connection
- migration runner: numbered SQL files embedded and applied once each inside
a transaction, recorded in schema_migrations
- bundle import (PRD §7.3) as a live feature on the Ruoat tab: paste JSON or
upload a file, get a per-row Finnish report. The same importer is reachable
as `foodster -import` for repopulating a scratch database
- templ views and hand-written CSS with light-dark() theming; the Datastar
v1.0.3 client is vendored, since the Go SDK ships no browser asset and a
CDN would break an offline LAN
Names are normalized to sentence case rather than title case: Finnish
capitalizes only the first word of a phrase, so "Keitetyt perunat" is right
and "Keitetyt Perunat" is not. PRD §6 and §7.3 are amended to match.
Testing is behind make targets rather than ad-hoc commands: `make check` runs
lint, unit tests and scripts/smoke.sh, which exercises auth, static assets
and every import path against a scratch database on a spare port.
