Two next steps in the backup area claimed more than the evidence behind
them supports, reported by @Vaso73 while reviewing the pattern.
A failed run is now treated as unsuccessful with a copy to confirm,
rather than asserted to have produced nothing usable — the task log does
not establish that. And a missing host-configuration record says no
backup is recorded here, leaving room for one this node cannot see.

The 41 keys added for the audit explanations, disk exclusions and idle
disk state existed only in English, so build_i18n_messages had work to do
on a clean checkout and the offline suite rejected it.
Fills them in the six remaining locales with argos, which joins the
provider list here as it already had in build_translation_cache: it runs
locally with no quota, and this script stores the English on a provider
failure, where a remote quota refusal would have been recorded as a
translation.

Adds the OCI manager: an engine that turns a Docker Compose file into an
LXC definition, a catalog of 365 applications drawn from LinuxServer.io
and other container image sources, and a per-instance registry recording
what each container was built from. Reachable from the main menu.
Catalog text is translated like every other string in the project: the
taglines go through translate() and land in lang/*.json, so the entries
read in all eight languages instead of only English.
Translation cache builder:
- a failed translation leaves the key absent rather than writing English,
which previously made the string count as translated forever
- a result identical to a 3+ word source is rejected, catching a provider
that silently returns the text it was given
- strings that are nothing but glossary terms keep their source spelling
instead of being discarded as failures
- no backoff between attempts when the provider is deterministic
- application names are protected so "HAOS One" survives translation
- argos joins the provider list, and the workflow reads the OCI sources
Audit & Report:
- findings that moved in the wrong direction between runs are reported
alongside the ones that improved
- an accepted risk can carry a review date and is flagged when it falls due
- backup checks explain in plain language what they looked at and what to
do next
Monitor:
- disks can be excluded from periodic reads, and an idle disk says so
instead of showing a stale temperature
- per-disk identity survives a controller or enclosure change
- scheduled Borg backups resolve their SSH key from the repository entry
- PVE upgrades log the package list and the resulting dpkg changes
The web build no longer copies scripts/ into public/: the documentation
links to GitHub, so nothing read that folder.

The change journal exists so a sysadmin sees what ProxMenux changed on the host — its own configuration, packages and services — not how it uses the host or configures a guest. Several scripts recorded operations that are neither: disk passthrough to a VM, container conversions, VM import/export, mounting a share into an LXC. Those are restored to their original, uninstrumented form. Scripts that operate on the host while also installing a package now record only the package: format-disk keeps its exFAT-tools install, the UUP ISO builder its build dependencies, and the share/host scripts their packages, services and /etc/fstab writes, while the mount and unmount operations they used to log are dropped.
The page now reads in three sections: what ProxMenux optimized after install (each function under its menu name), what its other host scripts changed (by script), and what it installed (packages and utilities, each referencing the script that installed it). A file reads as created or modified with its diff, a service shows its state transition, and the undo line appears only when a revert is possible.
ProxMenux modifies the host: it rewrites configuration files, installs packages, enables services. Until now nobody could say afterwards what had changed, and showing the script does not answer that question — a four-hundred-line function may alter two values, and the reader has no way to know which two. This adds the two halves of an answer.
The change journal records what ProxMenux does as it does it. Eleven bash primitives capture the previous state, apply the change and record it in the same step, writing to a spool that the Monitor reads back. One hundred and thirteen functions across twenty-five scripts are instrumented, covering post-install, shared storage, security tooling, container conversions, disk operations and the PVE 8 to 9 upgrade path. The page shows the difference — rotate 7 becoming rotate 14 — and never the script. Restore and backup scripts are deliberately left out: a restore puts the host back to a state some other script already recorded.
The Audit and reports page answers the other half: what state is this host in, regardless of who put it there. Forty-three checks across seven areas read the host and classify each result as critical, warning, observation, conformant, unverified or not applicable, with the evidence they read attached to each one. A declared policy lets the reader say what this particular host is expected to do — which guests must have a backup, which storages are essential — so the report judges the host against its own intent rather than a generic template. An inventory records the hardware, network and guest topology behind those readings, a comparison shows what moved between two runs, and six report profiles produce a printable document scoped to what the reader needs. Everything is available in the eight supported languages.
