fix(cluster): validate container IDs cluster-wide across all nodes

- Query /cluster/resources via pvesh to check all VMs/CTs on ALL nodes - Check /etc/pve/nodes/*/qemu-server and /etc/pve/nodes/*/lxc dirs - Handles pmxcfs sync delays that caused sporadic ID conflicts - Remove duplicate validate_container_id/get_valid_container_id definitions - Add max_attempts safeguard to prevent infinite loops

CanbiZ (MickLesk)	0957a23366	JSON-escape CPU and GPU model strings Apply json_escape to GPU_MODEL and CPU_MODEL before assigning to gpu_model and cpu_model to ensure values are safe for inclusion in API JSON payloads. Updated in post_to_api, post_to_api_vm, and post_update_to_api; variable declarations were adjusted to call json_escape on the existing environment values (fallbacks unchanged).

CanbiZ (MickLesk)	f23414a1a8	Retry reporting with fallback payloads (#11885 ) Enhance post_update_to_api to support a "force" mode and robust retry logic: add a 3rd-arg bypass to duplicate suppression, capture a short error summary, and perform up to three POST attempts (full payload, shortened error payload, minimal payload) with HTTP code checks and small backoffs. Mark POST_UPDATE_DONE on success (or after three attempts) to avoid infinite retries. Also invoke post_update_to_api with the "force" flag from cleanup paths in build.func and error_handler.func so a final status update is attempted after cleanup.	2026-02-13 13:49:49 +01:00

MickLesk	2b921736e6	fix(tools.func): fix GPG key format detection in setup_deb822_repo The previous logic using 'file \| grep PGP' was inverted — both ASCII-armored and binary GPG keys matched the pattern, causing ASCII-armored keys to be copied directly instead of being dearmored. This resulted in APT failing with NO_PUBKEY errors on Debian 12 (bookworm). Use 'grep BEGIN PGP' to reliably detect ASCII-armored keys and dearmor them, otherwise copy binary keys directly.	2026-02-12 22:30:34 +01:00
MickLesk	ddabe81dd8	fix(tools.func): set GPG keyring files to 644 permissions gpg --dearmor creates files with restrictive permissions (600), which prevents Debian 13's sqv signature verifier from reading the keyring files. This causes apt update to fail with 'Permission denied' errors for all repositories using custom GPG keys (adoptium, pgdg, pdm, etc.). Set chmod 644 after creating .gpg files in both setup_deb822_repo() and the MongoDB GPG key import in manage_tool_repository().	2026-02-12 22:24:24 +01:00

CanbiZ (MickLesk)	f7cf7c8adc	fix(telemetry): prevent stuck 'installing' status in error_handler.func (#11845 ) The catch_errors() function in CT scripts overrides the API telemetry traps set by build.func. This caused on_exit, on_interrupt, and on_terminate to never call post_update_to_api, leaving telemetry records permanently stuck on 'installing'. Changes: - on_exit: Report orphaned 'installing' records on ANY exit where post_to_api was called but post_update_to_api was not - on_interrupt: Call post_update_to_api('failed', '130') before exit - on_terminate: Call post_update_to_api('failed', '143') before exit All calls are guarded by POST_UPDATE_DONE flag to prevent duplicates.	2026-02-12 20:05:27 +01:00

Binary keys are copied directly; armored keys are dearmored as before. This also reverts unifi-install.sh back to using setup_deb822_repo for consistency with all other install scripts.	2026-02-12 20:03:33 +01:00

The noVNC console stalls after auditd checks.
