fix: botched edit

- Fix 3 orphaned function bodies in main.go (handleAdminSchedule,
  handleAdminSystemSummary, probeMediaDurationSeconds) caused by
  insertions that split function headers from bodies
- Remove cache: true from setup-go and cache: npm from setup-node
  (Gitea runner times out 135s trying to reach GitHub cache API)
- Add go vet ./... step replacing placeholder echo
- Remove || echo fallback from lint (tsc --noEmit is working)

+## 2026-08-05: Chat Message Admin + CI/CD + Release 1.0.5
+
+**Completed**: Chat Message Admin, CI/CD, Release 1.0.5 committed + tagged + pushed.
+
+**Bug — nested admin page**: Fixed. Root cause: page HTML files were in `frontend/admin/` (Vite source root). Vite multi-page mode injected scripts/styles into every `.html` entry. `fetch("/admin/dashboard.html")` returned a full self-contained page, injected into `#tab-content-container`, nesting duplicate admin shell. Fix: moved all 9 page files to `frontend/public/admin/` — Vite serves `public/` contents verbatim with no processing. Fetch now returns raw HTML fragment.
+
+**Key lesson**: Page fragments loaded via `fetch()` must live under `public/` in Vite projects. Any `.html` in the project source root gets processed as a multi-page entry.

+# Caveman Agent — Linear Void
+
+Caveman mode always active. Terse, no fluff, no filler, no tool-call narration. Technical substance preserved exactly.
+
+## Scope
+
+This agent handles implementation tasks within linearvoid project boundaries:
+
+- Backend (`backend/chat/src/`, `backend/playout/src/`)
+- Frontend (`frontend/src/`, `frontend/admin/`, `frontend/public/`)
+- Infrastructure (`infrastructure/`, `.gitea/workflows/`)
+- Documentation (`docs/`, `*.md` at project root)
+- Config (`docker-compose*.yml`, `.env.example`, `package.json`, `go.mod`)
+
+Outside scope: secrets management (use Gitea UI), production deployment approval, external service configuration.
+
+## Output Rules
+
+Drop articles (a/an/the), filler words, pleasantries, hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms. Standard acronyms OK (API, DB, CI). Never invent abbreviations. Code blocks, error strings, technical terms verbatim. Never drop negations (not/never/no/only/except). Numbers and units exact.
+
+## Project Workflow
+
+**Documentation first. Always.**
+
+1. **Read docs before code** — Check `docs/architecture/README.md` and relevant ADRs (`docs/architecture/adr/`) for design decisions before touching files.
+2. **Propose ADR if architecture changes** — Any new endpoint pattern, data model, service dependency, or cross-cutting change needs an ADR proposal before implementation. Write to `docs/architecture/adr/ADR-XXX.md` following existing template.
+3. **Plan** — Write tasks to `.github/instructions/TODO.md` with checkboxes.
+4. **Confirm before acting** — Ask user. Accept `go`, `ok`, `yes`, `next`, `continue`. Abort on `no`, `stop`, `cancel`.
+5. **Do the work** — Edit files, run commands.
+6. **Track completion** — Mark `[x]` in TODO.md. When section done, move to `.github/instructions/DONE.md`.
+7. **Log changes** — Write entry to `CHANGELOG.md` for significant work.
+8. **Sync memory** — Update `.github/MEMORY.md` between major steps and at end of session. Record: current state, decisions made, lessons learned, file locations changed. This is the agent's persistent working memory across sessions.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Source of truth: `docs/architecture/README.md` and ADRs (`docs/architecture/adr/`). Follow project structure in root `README.md`.
+
+## Security
+
+Never commit raw secrets. Never print or log secrets. Use `CI_` prefix for Gitea secrets (never `GITEA_`). `.env` always gitignored.
+
+## Task Tracking
+
+Sync with `manage_todo_list` tool. Mirror state to `.github/instructions/TODO.md` checkboxes.

+### Added

+- **Emergency slate fallback**: `scripts/generate-slate.sh` creates "We'll Be Right Back" slate video + pre-rendered HLS. Playout detects FFmpeg failures (>5 restarts/60s) and auto-switches to slate manifest. Health endpoint reports `degraded` mode. Auto-recovers when FFmpeg restarts successfully.
+- **Prometheus metrics**: `linearvoid_playout_restarts_total`, `linearvoid_playout_mode` (0=live, 1=slate), `linearvoid_chat_dms_total` exposed on playout + chat `/metrics`.
+- **Video normalization pipeline**: `scripts/normalize.sh` with env-configurable CRF/preset/audio-bitrate wrapping reference FFmpeg command.
+- **Strict ffprobe verification gate**: `ValidateVideo()` in playout parses ffprobe JSON, checks codec (h264/aac), framerate (30/1), resolution (1280x720 or 1920x1080), pix_fmt (yuv420p), sample_rate (48000), keyframe interval (≤2s). `ValidateVideoStrict()` returns `{valid, errors[]}`.
+- **Upload normalization enforcement**: `validateMediaNormalization()` runs on every admin upload (single + chunked). Non-conforming files get `needs_normalization` status. Visible in media library + playlist validation warnings.
+- **Chat history on room join**: `pushChatHistory()` sends last 50 messages via WebSocket on connect.
+- **DM offline delivery**: Private messages persisted to DB, appear in history when recipient reconnects.
+- **Online presence indicators**: Green dot per user in chat sidebar, updated via join/leave system messages.
+- **Schedule metadata overlay**: "Now Playing" + "Up Next" below viewer player, polling `GET /api/schedule` every 30s. Public `/api/schedule` endpoint added.
+- **Playlist drag-to-reorder**: Sortable list with drag-and-drop, per-entry remove buttons, validation warnings (missing files, needs_normalization).
+- **Schedule overrides**: `ScheduleOverride` model + `GET/POST/DELETE /api/admin/schedule/overrides` with conflict detection (409 on overlap). Admin UI with form + list.
+- **User management actions**: `POST /api/admin/users` with mute/unmute/ban/unban actions. Per-user action buttons in admin users table.
+- **Inline moderation**: Mute/Ban buttons on each chat log entry row in admin.
+- **CSV export**: `GET /api/admin/chat-log/export` returns CSV download.
+- **Analytics time range selector**: 1h, 6h, 24h, 7d dropdown on admin analytics page.
+- **Runtime config editor**: `GET/PUT /api/admin/config` for rate limit max + window. Admin system page with config form + restart buttons.
+- **Production target documentation**: `DEPLOYMENT.md` updated with two-environment model (test lab 192.168.88.0/24 vs Hetzner production TBD), CX22 specs, firewall requirements, DNS cutover plan.
+- **Network diagram**: Mermaid diagram in `SETUP.md` distinguishing test lab from planned production.
+- **E2E test script**: `scripts/test-playout-e2e.sh` for runtime validation in test lab.
+- **Redis pub/sub stub**: Architecture ready for multi-instance chat (pending implementation).
+
+### Changed
+
+- `docker-compose.yml` + `.prod.yml`: added slate volume mount (`./data/slate:/app/slate:ro`), Redis `--maxmemory 256mb --maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru`.
+- `backend/playout/Dockerfile`: added `/app/slate` directory.
+- `handleConnection`: added 30s presence heartbeat + WebSocket ping, banned/muted user checks, env-configurable rate limits (`CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_MAX`, `CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_S`).
+- `handleModerationCommand`: added moderator role check, mute duration parsing, Redis key enforcement.
+- `handlePrivateDM`: targeted delivery via `clientMeta` map instead of broadcast.
+- `initRedis`: added `redisReconnectLoop` with exponential backoff (2s→60s).
+- `handleAdminMedia` + chunked upload: normalization validation runs on every upload, sets `needs_normalization` status.
+- nginx: OPTIONS preflight → 204 on all 4 HLS locations. `/health` returns JSON. `/nginx-status` with stub_status (internal-network restricted).
+- CD workflow: health checks now IP-agnostic (`docker exec` instead of hardcoded IP curls).
+- `docker-compose.yml` + `.prod.yml`, `.gitea/workflows/cd.yml`, `DEPLOYMENT.md`, `SETUP.md`, `docs/architecture/README.md`, `README.md`: all annotated with test-lab vs production distinction, `192.168.88.0/24` flagged as internal test network.
+- `docs/architecture/README.md`: CI/CD deployment view updated to note test lab target, production pending.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- CD health check no longer hardcodes `192.168.88.40` in curl targets — uses `docker exec` for portability.
+- Playlist page no longer single-textarea — now shows sortable list with validation warnings.
+- Schedule page shows overrides alongside playlist timeline.

 - Replaced legacy and Tailwind-based stylesheet rules with a custom design-token CSS system covering responsive layouts, forms, tables, and reduced-motion behavior.
 - Switched frontend theme to dark-mode-first token defaults with light-scheme override.
+- Applied new color palette (`#32292f` dark, `#b4c4ae` light, `#587792` brand, `#2ebfa5` focus, `#04650d` ok) across all 22 CSS custom properties in dark and light themes.
+- Replaced hardcoded admin sidebar and tab-trigger colors with CSS custom properties.
+- Optimized CI pipeline: removed duplicate `docker compose build --no-cache` from test job, removed broken playlist validation step, fixed Go module cache path, added Docker Buildx registry cache to docker/release jobs.
 - Bumped chat healthcheck `start_period` from 10s to 30s in `docker-compose.prod.yml`.
 - CD workflow now verifies nginx (port 8080) + chat (3000) + playout (8081); dumps container logs for all failing services.
 - Updated Prometheus scrape targets and Grafana dashboard queries to use live chat metrics.
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- Go module cache in CI now correctly references `backend/playout/go.sum` and `backend/chat/go.sum`.
+- Go module cache in CI now correctly references only `backend/chat/go.sum` (playout go.sum did not exist); added `go mod download` step to seed cache.
+- Removed broken playlist validation step (`go run src/playlist.go` without go.mod) from CI test job.
+- Converted nginx CI build from custom shell `docker buildx` to `docker/build-push-action@v5` for cache consistency.
 - Enforced 2GB upload ceiling plus server-side media file type/size validation for admin uploads.
 - Increased nginx `client_max_body_size` to allow resumable admin upload chunks without 413 errors.
 - Removed unused `data-admin-*` Vite env var attributes from admin HTML template.

+## Versioning and Releases
+
+### Version Scheme
+
+Linear Void follows **Semantic Versioning** ([SemVer](https://semver.org)): `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`.
+
+- **MAJOR** — breaking changes to the viewer, API, or deployment model.
+- **MINOR** — new features (endpoints, admin tabs, UI capabilities) that are backward-compatible.
+- **PATCH** — bug fixes, optimizations, documentation polish.
+
+Git tags use a `v` prefix: `1.0.2`, `1.1.0`, `v2.0.0`.
+
+### Where Versions Are Declared
+
+| File                           | Token          | Example                   |

+
+### Full Release Procedure
+
+#### Step 1: Bump version numbers
+
+Update these files to the new version (replace `X.Y.Z`):
+
+- [frontend/package.json](frontend/package.json)
+- [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) — add new section at top
+- [README.md](README.md) — version badge
+
+```bash
+# frontend/package.json
+"version": "X.Y.Z"
+
+# CHANGELOG.md — add new section at top
+## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD
+
+# README.md — version badge
+version-X.Y.Z-blue
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Write changelog
+
+Add entries under `## [X.Y.Z]` in `CHANGELOG.md` following [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com) format (`Added`, `Changed`, `Fixed`, `Removed`).
+
+#### Step 3: Commit and tag
+
+```bash
+# Stage all version bumps + changelog
+git add frontend/package.json CHANGELOG.md README.md .github/instructions/TODO.md
+
+# Commit
+git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"
+
+# Create annotated tag
+git tag -a X.Y.Z -m "Release X.Y.Z"
+
+# Push commit and tag
+git push origin main
+git push origin X.Y.Z
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Verify CI/CD
+
+- CI workflow (`ci.yml`) runs on push to `main` → builds & pushes `main`/`latest` images.
+- Release workflow (`release.yml`) triggers on `X.Y.Z` tag → builds images with semver tags (`X.Y.Z`, `X.Y`, `latest`), creates Gitea Release.
+- CD workflow (`cd.yml`) triggers after CI completes → deploys to production.
+
+Monitor at: [git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/actions](https://git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/actions)
+
+#### Step 5: Verify release
+
+Check the Gitea Releases page for the new tag:
+[git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/releases](https://git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/releases)
+
+### Manual Release (workflow_dispatch)
+
+If a tag push fails or a re-release is needed:
+
+1. Go to [Actions → Release workflow](https://git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/actions?workflow=release.yml)
+2. Click "Run workflow"
+3. Enter version (e.g. `1.0.2`)
+4. The workflow builds images, pushes semver tags, and creates the Gitea Release
+
+### Docker Image Tags
+
+Every release produces these tags in the Gitea Container Registry:
+
+| Image     | Tags                     |
+| --------- | ------------------------ |
+| `playout` | `X.Y.Z`, `X.Y`, `latest` |
+| `chat`    | `X.Y.Z`, `X.Y`, `latest` |
+| `nginx`   | `X.Y.Z`, `X.Y`, `latest` |
+
+Example for `1.0.2`:
+
+```text
+git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/chat:1.0.2
+git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/chat:1.0
+git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/chat:latest
+git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/playout:1.0.2
+git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/playout:1.0
+git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid/playout:latest
+```
+
+### Moving Completed Tasks
+
+After release, move completed sections from `TODO.md` to `DONE.md` and update `CHANGELOG.md` if needed. The `DONE.md` file serves as the historical record linking tasks to releases.
+

+## Environments
+
+Linear Void runs in two separate environments:
+
+| Environment    | Host                       | Docker Target              | Purpose                                        |
+| -------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| **Test Lab**   | `192.168.88.40` (internal) | `tcp://192.168.88.40:2375` | Integration testing, staging, CI/CD validation |
+| **Production** | Hetzner VPS (TBD)          | `tcp://<hetzner-ip>:2375`  | Public linearvoid.tv serving real viewers      |
+
+**Current state (2026-08-06):** Test lab is active and receives automated CD deploys. Production Hetzner VPS is **not yet provisioned**. The CD workflow (`cd.yml`) and `docker-compose.prod.yml` currently target the test lab. Switching to production requires only changing `DOCKER_HOST` — see [Production Deployment](#production-deployment-hetzner) below.
+
+## Production Target (Hetzner)
+
+**Status: Not provisioned.** The production deployment plan is documented and the pipeline is ready — only the VPS needs to be created.
+
+### Planned Infrastructure
+
+| Resource       | Spec                                             |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| Provider       | Hetzner Cloud                                    |
+| Region         | Ashburn, VA (us-east)                            |
+| Instance       | CX22 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD) or equivalent |
+| OS             | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12                    |
+| Bandwidth      | 20 TB included traffic/month                     |
+| Estimated cost | ~€7–10/month base                                |
+
+### Cutover Plan
+
+1. Provision Hetzner VPS (see `TODO.md` #92)
+2. Add production secrets to Gitea (`CI_PROD_*` prefix)
+3. Update `DOCKER_HOST` in CD workflow to Hetzner public IP
+4. Trigger deploy → validate health checks
+5. Update Cloudflare A record `linearvoid.tv` → Hetzner IP
+6. Enable HTTPS, WAF, cache rules on production zone
+7. Decommission test lab as public target
+
+### Firewall / Security Group
+
+| Port | Source                | Purpose                        |
+| ---- | --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| 22   | Admin IPs             | SSH management                 |
+| 80   | 0.0.0.0/0             | HTTP (redirect to HTTPS)       |
+| 443  | 0.0.0.0/0             | HTTPS (nginx)                  |
+| 2375 | Gitea runner IP only  | Docker remote API (TLS)        |
+| 9090 | Admin IPs or internal | Prometheus (or tunnel via SSH) |
+| 3001 | Admin IPs or internal | Grafana (or tunnel via SSH)    |
+
+### Pipeline Readiness
+
+The Gitea Actions CD workflow (`cd.yml`) already supports `DOCKER_HOST` as a configurable variable. To switch targets:
+
+```bash
+# Test lab (current)
+DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.88.40:2375
+
+# Production (when provisioned)
+DOCKER_HOST=tcp://<hetzner-public-ip>:2375
+```
+
+No code changes needed in the pipeline. See `TODO.md` #91 and #92–#99 for full production deployment checklist.
