Summary

Fixes #887. The WebUI retag apply path stops or pauses and recreates the selected Compose services with no self-protection, so a retag of the socket proxy behind DOCKER_HOST=tcp://socket-proxy:2375 cuts WUDup off from Docker. Once that happens, health checks, recovery, and rollback all fail, which is the same failure as the production incident on the pending-update path that #888 guards. This PR adds the same guard to retag apply, built on #888's helpers.

  • New src/wudup/web_retag_scope.py: validate_retag_recreate_scope checks each stack's retagged services (retag recreates with --no-deps, so the scope is exactly those services). It blocks a retag when:
    • a scoped service runs a WUDup image (is_self_update_target)
    • a scoped running container is the WUD_WEB_RESTART_CONTAINER container
    • a scoped running container's name, network alias, or address matches the network DOCKER_HOST host (docker_endpoint_host, DockerCli.container_dns_details, container_dns_names)
  • It fails closed when the WUDup identity, compose ps, or the container inspect cannot be read. A unix-socket or unset DOCKER_HOST skips the endpoint check.
  • web_retag_apply._apply_retag_updates runs the guard for every selected stack before the first Compose rewrite, pull, stop, or recreate. If any stack is blocked, no stack is changed. The failure is recorded on the job and in the web-retag audit run. It is reported as a preflight failure event that names the blocked stack and services, because nothing was attempted.
  • Messages reuse fix(updater): block updates that would stop WUDup's Docker endpoint #888's plain-language text (_SELF_UPDATE_MESSAGE, _DOCKER_ENDPOINT_LOOKUP_MESSAGE, _docker_endpoint_message). _docker_endpoint_services now takes a DockerCli instead of the runner so both paths can share it.
  • Retag apply and rollback no longer pass --remove-orphans. Retag never removes services, so it has no orphans of its own, and the flag only acted when orphans existed. It could delete an orphaned WUDup or socket-proxy container that the guard does not see. The guard's scope is now exactly the retagged services. The pending-update path keeps orphan removal; that is tracked in Pending updates: Compose --remove-orphans can remove WUDup or its Docker endpoint proxy #891.

Checklist

  • Tests added or updated
  • README.md or docs/ updated if install, deployment, config, or user-facing behavior changed
  • docs/examples/template.env or docs/examples/webui.env.example updated if environment variables or example config changed: N/A, no new variables
  • Release Please/changelog impact considered; no manual CHANGELOG.md edit needed outside release prep

Test plan

  • tests/run-all.sh: N/A, ran the Python subset below
  • tests/run-all.sh --python (2201 passed, 1 skipped) and ruff check .
  • Focused test(s):
    • tests/test_python_web_retag_apply_scope.py: blocked when the endpoint proxy is in scope, blocked for WUDup by container identity and by image, unix-socket DOCKER_HOST skips the endpoint inspect (unit test, plus a full retag apply with a restart container set), inspect failure fails closed, identity lookup failure fails closed, and every stack is checked before any mutation. The three end-to-end guard tests fail when the guard is stubbed out, and also fail without the preflight-phase reporting.
    • tests/test_python_web_retag*.py: the existing retag tests still pass with the guard active.
  • Docker or Compose validation, if container behavior changed: N/A, fake Docker only

When DOCKER_HOST points at a network endpoint such as a socket proxy, the self-protection preflight now inspects the running containers in each stack's recreate scope and blocks the stack (docker-endpoint-recreate-blocked) if one of them serves that endpoint. Stopping it would cut WUDup off from Docker so it could not finish or roll back. Lookup failures fail closed; unix-socket DOCKER_HOST is unaffected and WUD itself stays updatable.
Retag apply now checks every selected stack before any Compose rewrite,
pull, stop, or recreate, and fails closed when the retagged services include
WUDup (by image or WUD_WEB_RESTART_CONTAINER identity) or the container
serving WUDup's network DOCKER_HOST. It reuses the pending-update preflight
helpers and messages.

📝 Walkthrough

Retag apply now checks every affected stack before changing Compose files or recreating services. If a selected service would recreate WUDup or its Docker endpoint container, the apply fails during preflight.

Changes: WebUI retag protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protected recreate-scope checks
src/wudup/web_retag_scope.py, src/wudup/updater_preflight.py, tests/test_python_web_retag_apply_scope.py
Before mutations begin, checked are selected services for WUDup images, WUDup container identity, and Docker endpoint use. When identity or endpoint inspection fails, the validator blocks the retag.
Apply preflight and failure reporting
src/wudup/web_retag_apply.py, tests/test_python_web_retag_apply_scope.py, tests/web_retag_test_helpers.py, docs/wiki/webui-container.md, src/wudup/AGENTS.md
Before the apply loop, validated are all affected stacks. A blocked scope produces a preflight failure with the stack and service names. Tests cover blocked and allowed updates, and the documentation describes the pre-rewrite checks.

The new retag guard checks only the services being retagged. Retag apply also removes orphaned containers in the same Compose project, which could include the Docker socket proxy or WUDup itself. If that happens, WUDup loses Docker access and recovery fails. Resolve this gap before merging.

Explanation

Issue #887 requires a fail-closed preflight before any retag Compose rewrite, pull, stop, or recreate. The reviewed code calls validate_retag_recreate_scope for every selected stack before the mutation loop. The guard checks WUDup image identity, WUD_WEB_RESTART_CONTAINER identity, and the Docker endpoint container. It reuses the pending-update guidance and records blocked scopes as preflight failures with stack and service data. The tests cover blocked scopes, fail-closed inspection, Unix-socket handling, and checking all stacks before mutation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #887. The updater_preflight helper change supports reuse of Docker endpoint inspection. The retag tests, WebUI documentation, and AGENTS ownership update support the guard and its behavior. No unrelated implementation change is shown.

Reviewer's Guide

Retag apply now performs a shared, fail-closed preflight across every selected stack before mutation, preventing retags that would recreate WUDup itself or the container providing its TCP Docker endpoint while preserving safe handling for Unix-socket or unset Docker hosts.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Add a fail-closed preflight guard for retag operations that could recreate WUDup or sever its Docker connectivity.
  • Inspect the exact services selected for each stack, matching retag’s --no-deps recreate scope.
  • Block WUDup image targets and configured restart-container identity targets.
  • Resolve TCP DOCKER_HOST container names, aliases, and addresses and block matching services; skip endpoint inspection for Unix-socket or unset hosts.
  • Treat identity, Compose service listing, and Docker inspection failures as blocking conditions.
  • Run validation across all stacks before any Compose rewrite, pull, stop, or recreate, and propagate failures to the job and audit run.
src/wudup/web_retag_scope.py
src/wudup/web_retag_apply.py
tests/test_python_web_retag_apply_scope.py
Share Docker endpoint lookup logic between pending-update and retag preflight paths.
  • Change endpoint-service discovery to accept a Docker client directly.
  • Reuse the existing user-facing protection and lookup error messages.
src/wudup/updater_preflight.py
src/wudup/web_retag_scope.py
Document the new retag protection behavior and assign ownership for the scope guard.
  • Explain that retag apply validates all selected services before modifying any Compose file.
  • Add the new module to the retag apply/recovery ownership entry.

Getting Help

A retag blocked by the recreate-scope guard now reports a preflight-phase
failure event naming the blocked stack and services, since nothing was
attempted. Adds an end-to-end retag apply test with a unix-socket
DOCKER_HOST and a configured WUDup restart container.

Retag apply passed --remove-orphans whenever the Compose project was not
shared, so an orphaned WUDup or socket-proxy container left running after
its service was removed from the Compose file could be deleted, cutting
WUDup off from Docker. Retag never removes services, so it has no orphans of
its own to clean up: drop orphan removal from retag recreate and rollback.
The recreate-scope guard's scope is now exactly the retagged services.
