- Fix status flickering: Track databases in active/transient states (restarting, starting, created, paused) not just running
- Add isActiveOrTransient() helper to distinguish between active states and terminal states (exited, dead)
- Add safeguard: Protect updateNotFoundDatabaseStatus() from marking as exited when containers collection is empty
- Add restart_count tracking: New migration adds restart_count, last_restart_at, last_restart_type to all standalone database tables
- Update 8 database models with $casts for new restart tracking fields
- Update GetContainersStatus to extract RestartCount from Docker and update database models
- Reset restart tracking when database exits completely

Add preserveRestarting parameter to ContainerStatusAggregator to allow applications
and service sub-resources to display "Restarting" status instead of being marked as
"Degraded". This gives better visibility into container restart behavior.
- Update ContainerStatusAggregator to accept preserveRestarting parameter (defaults to false)
- Update GetContainersStatus to use preserveRestarting: true for applications and service sub-resources
- Update PushServerUpdateJob to use preserveRestarting: true for applications and service sub-resources
- Add comprehensive documentation explaining the parameter behavior and when to use it

Exited containers don't run health checks, so showing "(unhealthy)" is
misleading. This fix ensures exited status displays without health
suffixes across all monitoring systems (SSH, Sentinel, services, etc.)
and at the UI layer for backward compatibility with existing data.

- Introduced tests for ContainerStatusAggregator to validate status aggregation logic across various container states.
- Implemented tests to ensure serverStatus accessor correctly checks server infrastructure health without being affected by container status.
- Updated ExcludeFromHealthCheckTest to verify excluded status handling in various components.
- Removed obsolete PushServerUpdateJobStatusAggregationTest as its functionality is covered elsewhere.
- Updated version number for sentinel to 0.0.17 in versions.json.
This commit addresses container status reporting issues and removes debug logging:
**Primary Fix:**
- Changed PushServerUpdateJob to default to 'unknown' instead of 'unhealthy' when health_status field is missing from Sentinel data
- This ensures containers WITHOUT healthcheck defined are correctly reported as "unknown" not "unhealthy"
- Matches SSH path behavior (GetContainersStatus) which already defaulted to 'unknown'
**Service Multi-Container Aggregation:**
- Implemented service container status aggregation (same pattern as applications)
- Added serviceContainerStatuses collection to both Sentinel and SSH paths
- Services now aggregate status using priority: unhealthy > unknown > healthy
- Prevents race conditions where last-processed container would win
**Debug Logging Cleanup:**
- Removed all [STATUS-DEBUG] logging statements (25 total)
- Removed all ray() debugging calls (3 total)
- Removed proof_unknown_preserved and health_status_was_null debug fields
- Code is now production-ready
**Test Coverage:**
- Added 2 new tests for Sentinel default health status behavior
- Added 5 new tests for service aggregation in SSH path
- All 16 tests pass (66 assertions)
**Note:** The root cause was identified as Sentinel (Go binary) also defaulting to "unhealthy". That will need a separate fix in the Sentinel codebase.

Added detailed debug logging to all status update paths to help
diagnose why "unhealthy" status appears in the UI.
## Logging Added
### 1. PushServerUpdateJob (Sentinel updates)
**Location**: Lines 303-315
**Logs**: Status changes from Sentinel push updates
**Data tracked**:
- Old vs new status
- Container statuses that led to aggregation
- Status flags (hasRunning, hasUnhealthy, hasUnknown)
### 2. GetContainersStatus (SSH updates)
**Location**: Lines 441-449, 346-354, 358-365
**Logs**: Status changes from SSH-based checks
**Scenarios**:
- Normal status aggregation
- Recently restarted containers (kept as degraded)
- Applications not running (set to exited)
**Data tracked**:
- Old vs new status
- Container statuses
- Restart count and timing
- Whether containers exist
### 3. Application Model Status Accessor
**Location**: Lines 706-712, 726-732
**Logs**: When status is set without explicit health information
**Issue**: Highlights cases where health defaults to "unhealthy"
**Data tracked**:
- Raw value passed to setter
- Final result after default applied
## How to Use
### Enable Debug Logging
Edit `.env` or `config/logging.php` to set log level to debug:
```
LOG_LEVEL=debug
```
### Monitor Logs
```bash
tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log | grep STATUS-DEBUG
```
### Log Format
All logs use `[STATUS-DEBUG]` prefix for easy filtering:
```
[2025-11-19 13:00:00] local.DEBUG: [STATUS-DEBUG] Sentinel status change
{
"source": "PushServerUpdateJob",
"app_id": 123,
"app_name": "my-app",
"old_status": "running:unknown",
"new_status": "running:healthy",
"container_statuses": [...],
"flags": {...}
}
```
## What to Look For
1. **Default to unhealthy**: Check Application model accessor logs
2. **Status flipping**: Compare timestamps between Sentinel and SSH updates
3. **Incorrect aggregation**: Check flags and container_statuses
4. **Stale database values**: Check if old_status persists across multiple logs
## Next Steps
After gathering logs, we can:
1. Identify the exact source of "unhealthy" status
2. Determine if it's a default issue, aggregation bug, or timing problem
3. Apply targeted fix based on evidence

This commit fixes container health status aggregation to correctly handle
unknown health states and edge case container states across all resource types.
Changes:
1. **Preserve Unknown Health State**
- Add three-way priority: unhealthy > unknown > healthy
- Detect containers without healthchecks (null health) as unknown
- Apply across GetContainersStatus, ComplexStatusCheck, and Service models
2. **Handle Edge Case Container States**
- Add support for: created, starting, paused, dead, removing
- Map to appropriate statuses: starting (unknown), paused (unknown), degraded (unhealthy)
- Prevent containers in transitional states from showing incorrect status
3. **Add :excluded Suffix for Excluded Containers**
- Parse exclude_from_hc flag from docker-compose YAML
- Append :excluded suffix to individual container statuses
- Skip :excluded containers in non-excluded aggregation sections
- Strip :excluded suffix in excluded aggregation sections
- Makes it clear in UI which containers are excluded from monitoring
Files Modified:
- app/Actions/Docker/GetContainersStatus.php
- app/Actions/Shared/ComplexStatusCheck.php
- app/Models/Service.php
- tests/Unit/ContainerHealthStatusTest.php
Tests: 18 passed (82 assertions)

When all containers are excluded from health checks, display their actual status
with :excluded suffix instead of misleading hardcoded statuses. This prevents
broken UI state with incorrect action buttons and provides clarity that monitoring
is disabled.

Track container restart counts from Docker and detect crash loops to provide better visibility into application health issues.
- Add restart_count, last_restart_at, and last_restart_type columns to applications table
- Detect restart count increases from Docker inspect data and send notifications
- Show restart count badge in UI with warning icon on Logs navigation
- Distinguish between crash restarts and manual restarts
- Implement 30-second grace period to prevent false "exited" status during crash loops
- Reset restart count on manual stop, restart, and redeploy actions
- Add unit tests for restart count tracking logic
This helps users quickly identify when containers are in crash loops and need attention, even when the container status flickers between states during Docker's restart backoff period.
