The dashboard could only show what was powered on this instant, so it could
not answer "did the last build pass?" — and no local execution history exists
to answer it from (`report job` reads a PowerShell-era JSONL path that nothing
writes on this host, and the recent artifact dirs are empty).
Recent runs now come from Gitea's Actions API (`operations/executions.py`):
`/api/v1/admin/actions/runs` for every repo on the instance, falling back to
`/api/v1/user/actions/runs` when the token is not admin-scoped. One list call
per refresh, cached 10s, so the card's 5s htmx poll costs Gitea at most one
call per window. Live VMs are grouped under the run that spawned them — the
job id is `{run_id}-{run_attempt}[-suffix]` and the clone name carries it — so
a matrix run collects several VMs on one row. Every failure mode (no token,
401, unreachable Gitea, malformed payload) degrades to a notice plus the plain
VM rows, each keeping its Remove button, so the card is never less useful than
the table it replaces. Orphans stay where they were: the sweep in Maintenance,
the count in the status-header tile.
Auth reuses the access token from the operator's own OIDC login, which
`auth.py` previously discarded. SECURITY: that token is kept server-side only
(`app.state.gitea_tokens`, dropped on logout) and never written into the
session — `SessionMiddleware` signs the session cookie but does not encrypt
it, and this service is deployed over plain HTTP on the LAN, so a bearer token
in there would be readable in the browser and on the wire. An expired token is
refreshed once; `[web] gitea_token_cred` names an optional keyring PAT for the
cases a login token cannot cover (service restart, non-admin operator).
`GET /vms` and `partials/vms.html` are gone; `POST /vms/{id}/remove` and
`POST /vms/cleanup` are untouched.
Design: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-25-executions-card-design.md
Adds operations/services.py: a fixed ManagedService allow-list (act-runner, act-runner-rust, vmware-host, ci-web) with find_service/service_states/control_service. control_service builds an argument list only (never shell=True), validates the action against ALLOWED_ACTIONS (ValueError->400), refuses stop on restart-only services (ci-web, allow_stop=False) without building a command, and defers ci-web's own restart via 'sudo -n systemd-run --on-active=2 systemctl restart ci-web.service' so the HTTP response returns first.
Route POST /services/{service_id}/{action} in web/routes.py mirrors vms_remove: require_user + require_csrf + two-step confirm gate + one audit entry per stage; unknown id / bad action / disallowed-stop short-circuit to 400 before any subprocess or audit; the vmware-host confirm step warns with the active-VM count. New /services read partial with state-aware Start/Stop/Restart buttons, polled every 15s.
deploy/sudoers.d/ci-web grants ci-runner exact-command NOPASSWD for exactly these nine systemctl lines plus the systemd-run deferral — no wildcards, no bare systemctl, no ci-web stop; setup-web-linux.sh installs it mode 0440 and validates with 'visudo -cf', rolling back on failure. Config gains [web].managed_services override; docs/WEB-UI.md documents the panel + security model.
Gates: 1044 tests pass (46 new security/unit tests), coverage 94.20%, ruff + mypy --strict clean. Not yet deployed: sudoers install + prod-venv reinstall + ci-web restart are a human privilege-boundary step.
CLAUDE.md and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md were still missing the operations/ and web/ packages added by the web-UI plan (W0-W7). Also records that ci-web.service is now live on this host (LAN + Gitea OIDC) in docs/WEB-UI.md and closes plans/web-ui-management-plan.md with a status header.
Restyles every template with a hand-written dark Gitea-style theme
(web/static/app.css, ~270 lines: badges, buttons, cards, focus rings,
prefers-reduced-motion) and completes the htmx polling wiring for all
four dashboard cards. Adds the repeatable setup-web-linux.sh installer
(idempotent: pip install '[web]' non-editable, render ci-web.service,
template [web]/[web.oidc] into config.toml, prompt for keyring secrets,
print Gitea OIDC registration steps, enable/restart the unit) plus
deploy/systemd/ci-web.service and docs/WEB-UI.md.
