## [Unreleased]

## [26.0-alpha] - 2026-04-13

First tagged snapshot. Pre-alpha — the installer does not yet boot, but the design is locked and the prototype components are shaped.

### Added

- **Installer webapp prototype** (`webinstaller/`) — Flask app with 3-step wizard (hostname → drive → overview), serves drive list via `drives.py::list_scored_devices()`.
- **Drive scoring module** (`webinstaller/drives.py`) — scores attached disks by type (NVMe/SSD/HDD), SMART health (`smartctl -H`), and size. Consumed by the installer and usable as a CLI.
- **Base archinstall configuration** (`archinstall/user_configuration.json`) — systemd-boot, ext4, Docker + Compose preinstalled, server profile, SSH. Credentials template at `archinstall/user_credentials.example.json` (real credentials gitignored).
- **Installer wireframes** (`docs/installer-wireframes.md`) — Robert's hand-drawn 4-screen UX sketches.
- **Competitor analysis** (`docs/competitors.md`) — CasaOS, Umbrel, YunoHost reviewed across install flow, hardware detection, app store UX, reverse proxy/SSL, user complaints. Key finding: device-aware wizard + managed gateway are uncontested differentiators.
- **Wizard flow spec** (`docs/wizard-flow.md`) — 8-screen first-boot flow extending Robert's wireframe with YunoHost-style domain/SSL/diagnostic/confirm screens. Locked tech picks with rejected alternatives.
- **Project README** — vision, principles, architecture, key decisions, landscape, roadmap.

### Decisions locked

- **Reverse proxy:** Caddy (auto Let's Encrypt, simplest config)
- **Identity provider:** Authentik (bundled SSO, every app auto-wired at install)
- **Managed gateway DNS:** NS delegation to `ns1.homebase.cloud` / `ns2.homebase.cloud` (wildcard cert via Let's Encrypt DNS-01)
- **Local HTTPS:** Local CA installed by user once (no browser warnings on `*.proksi.local`)
- **Base OS:** Arch (rolling, Debian remains fallback)
- **Containers:** Docker + Compose
- **License:** AGPL-3.0
