-# CrowdSec Dashboard Integration — Implementation Specification
+# CrowdSec Hub Bootstrapping on Container Startup
-**Issue:** #26
-**Version:** 1.1
-**Status:** Draft — Post-Supervisor Review
+## Problem Statement
----
+After a container rebuild, CrowdSec has **zero collections installed** and a **stale hub index**. When users (or the backend) attempt to install collections, they encounter hash mismatch errors because the hub index bundled in the image at build time is outdated by the time the container runs.
-## 1. Executive Summary
+The root cause is twofold:
-### What We're Building
+1. `cscli hub update` in the entrypoint only runs if `.index.json` is missing — not if it is stale.
+2. `install_hub_items.sh` (which does call `cscli hub update`) is gated behind `SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE=local`, an env var that is **deprecated** and no longer set by default. The entrypoint checks `$SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE`, but the backend reads `CERBERUS_SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE` / `CHARON_SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE` — a naming mismatch that means the entrypoint gate never opens.
-A metrics and analytics dashboard for CrowdSec within Charon's existing Security section. This adds visualization, aggregation, and export capabilities to the CrowdSec module — surfacing data that today is only available via CLI or raw LAPI queries.
+## Current State Analysis
-### Why
+### Dockerfile (build-time)
-CrowdSec is already operationally integrated (start/stop, config, bouncer registration, decisions, console enrollment). What's missing is **visibility**: users cannot see attack trends, scenario breakdowns, ban history, or top offenders without SSH-ing into the container and running `cscli` commands. A dashboard closes this gap and makes Charon's security posture observable from the UI.
+| Aspect | What Happens |
+|---|---|
+| CrowdSec binaries | Built from source in `crowdsec-builder` stage, copied to `/usr/local/bin/{crowdsec,cscli}` |
+| Config template | Source config copied to `/etc/crowdsec.dist/` |
+| Hub index | **Not pre-populated** — no `cscli hub update` at build time |
+| Collections | **Not installed** at build time |
+| Symlink | `/etc/crowdsec` → `/app/data/crowdsec/config` created as root before `USER charon` |
+| Helper scripts | `install_hub_items.sh` and `register_bouncer.sh` copied to `/usr/local/bin/` |
-### Success Metrics
+### Entrypoint (`.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh`, runtime)
-| Metric | Target |
-|--------|--------|
-| Issue #26 checklist tasks complete | 8/8 |
-| New backend aggregation endpoints covered by unit tests | ≥ 85% line coverage |
-| New frontend components covered by Vitest unit tests | ≥ 85% line coverage |
-| E2E tests for dashboard page passing | All browsers (Firefox, Chromium, WebKit) |
-| Dashboard page initial load time | < 2 seconds on cached data |
-| No new CRITICAL/HIGH security findings | GORM scanner, CodeQL, Trivy |
+| Step | What Happens | Problem |
+|---|---|---|
+| Config init | Copies `/etc/crowdsec.dist/*` → `/app/data/crowdsec/config/` on first run | Works correctly |
+| Symlink verify | Confirms `/etc/crowdsec` → `/app/data/crowdsec/config` | Works correctly |
+| LAPI port fix | `sed` replaces `:8080` → `:8085` in config files | Works correctly |
+| Hub update (L313-315) | `cscli hub update` runs **only if** `/etc/crowdsec/hub/.index.json` does not exist | **Bug**: stale index is never refreshed |
+| Machine registration | `cscli machines add -a --force` | Works correctly |
+| Hub items install (L325-328) | Calls `install_hub_items.sh` **only if** `$SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE = "local"` | **Bug**: env var is deprecated, never set; wrong var name vs backend |
+| Ownership fix | `chown -R charon:charon` on CrowdSec dirs | Works correctly |
----
+### `install_hub_items.sh` (when invoked)
-## 2. Requirements (EARS Notation)
+The script itself is well-structured — it calls `cscli hub update` then installs individual parsers, scenarios, and two collections (`crowdsecurity/http-cve`, `crowdsecurity/base-http-scenarios`). It does **not** install `crowdsecurity/caddy`.
-### R1: Metrics Dashboard Tab
+### Backend (`crowdsec_startup.go`)
-**WHEN** the user navigates to `/security/crowdsec`, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** display a "Dashboard" tab alongside the existing configuration interface, showing summary statistics (total bans, active bans, unique IPs, top scenario).
+`ReconcileCrowdSecOnStartup()` checks the database for CrowdSec mode and starts the process if needed. It does **not** call `cscli hub update` or install collections. The `HubService.runCSCLI()` method in `hub_sync.go` does call `cscli hub update` before individual item installs, but this is only triggered by explicit GUI actions (Pull/Apply), not at startup.
-### R2: Active Bans with Reasons
+## Proposed Changes
-**WHEN** the Dashboard tab is active, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** display a table of currently active decisions including IP, scenario/reason, duration, type (ban/captcha), origin, and time remaining.
+### File: `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh`
-### R3: Scenarios Triggered
+**Change 1: Always refresh the hub index**
-**WHEN** the Dashboard tab is active, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** display a breakdown of CrowdSec scenarios that have triggered decisions, with counts per scenario, sourced from LAPI alerts.
+Replace the conditional hub update (current L313-315):
-### R4: Ban History Timeline
-
-**WHEN** the Dashboard tab is active, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** display a time-series chart showing ban/unban events over a configurable time range (default: last 24 hours; options: 1h, 6h, 24h, 7d, 30d).
-
-### R5: Top Attacking IPs
-
-**WHEN** the Dashboard tab is active, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** display a horizontal bar chart of the top 10 IP addresses by number of decisions, within the selected time range.
-
-### R6: Attack Type Breakdown
-
-**WHEN** the Dashboard tab is active, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** display a pie/donut chart breaking down decisions by scenario type (e.g., `crowdsecurity/http-probing`, `crowdsecurity/ssh-bf`).
-
-### R7: Alert Notifications
-
-**WHEN** a new CrowdSec decision is created, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** dispatch a notification via the existing notification provider system (Gotify/webhook) if the user has enabled CrowdSec decision notifications. *(Partially implemented — this PR enriches the payload with scenario and structured data.)*
-
-### R8: Ban Export
-
-**WHEN** the user clicks the "Export" button on the Dashboard tab, **THE SYSTEM SHALL** export the current decisions list as CSV or JSON, with the user's choice of format and time range.
-
-### Non-Functional Requirements
-
-- **NF1:** Aggregation queries SHALL complete within 200ms for tables up to 100k rows.
-- **NF2:** Dashboard data SHALL be cached server-side with a 30-second TTL.
-- **NF3:** All new endpoints SHALL require admin authentication.
-- **NF4:** No LAPI keys SHALL appear in API responses (except the existing `GetBouncerKey` endpoint).
-- **NF5:** The dashboard SHALL be accessible: keyboard navigable, screen-reader compatible, WCAG 2.2 AA contrast.
-
----
-
-## 3. Architecture & Design
-
-### 3.1 Data Sources
-
-The dashboard draws from two data sources:
-
-| Source | Data | Access Method |
-|--------|------|---------------|
-| **CrowdSec LAPI** (`/v1/decisions`, `/v1/alerts`) | Active decisions, alerts with scenarios, timestamps, IP addresses | HTTP via `network.NewInternalServiceHTTPClient` with SSRF-safe URL validation |
-| **SQLite `security_decisions` table** | Historical decisions persisted by Charon's middleware | GORM queries with aggregation |
-
-### 3.2 New Backend Endpoints
-
-All endpoints are prefixed with `/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/` and require admin auth.
-
-```
-GET /admin/crowdsec/dashboard/summary → DashboardSummary
-GET /admin/crowdsec/dashboard/timeline → DashboardTimeline
-GET /admin/crowdsec/dashboard/top-ips → DashboardTopIPs
-GET /admin/crowdsec/dashboard/scenarios → DashboardScenarios
-GET /admin/crowdsec/alerts → ListAlerts (LAPI wrapper)
-GET /admin/crowdsec/decisions/export → ExportDecisions (CSV/JSON)
+```sh
+# CURRENT (broken):
+if [ ! -f "/etc/crowdsec/hub/.index.json" ]; then
+ echo "Updating CrowdSec hub index..."
+ timeout 60s cscli hub update 2>/dev/null || echo "⚠️ Hub update timed out or failed, continuing..."
+fi
```
-### 3.3 SecurityDecision Model Enrichment
+With an unconditional update:
-The existing `SecurityDecision` model needs new indexed fields to support scenario-based aggregation without requiring LAPI for historical queries:
-
-```go
-// backend/internal/models/security_decision.go
-type SecurityDecision struct {
- ID uint `json:"-" gorm:"primaryKey"`
- UUID string `json:"uuid" gorm:"uniqueIndex"`
- Source string `json:"source" gorm:"index"`
- Action string `json:"action" gorm:"index"`
- IP string `json:"ip" gorm:"index"`
- Host string `json:"host" gorm:"index"`
- RuleID string `json:"rule_id" gorm:"index"`
- Details string `json:"details" gorm:"type:text"`
- CreatedAt time.Time `json:"created_at" gorm:"index"`
-
- // NEW FIELDS (PR-1)
- Scenario string `json:"scenario" gorm:"index"` // e.g., "crowdsecurity/http-probing"
- Country string `json:"country" gorm:"index;size:2"` // ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (best-effort, see below)
- ExpiresAt time.Time `json:"expires_at" gorm:"index"` // When this decision expires
-}
+```sh
+# NEW: Always refresh hub index on startup (stale index causes hash mismatch errors)
+echo "Updating CrowdSec hub index..."
+if ! timeout 60s cscli hub update 2>&1; then
+ echo "⚠️ Hub index update failed (network issue?). Collections may fail to install."
+ echo " CrowdSec will still start with whatever index is cached."
+fi
```
-**Country field population (I3 clarification):** The `Country` field is populated on a best-effort basis. CrowdSec LAPI alerts include a `source.cn` field (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, e.g., `"CN"`, `"RU"`, `"US"`) when GeoIP data is available in the CrowdSec hub enrichment. No additional GeoIP lookup by Charon is required. When `source.cn` is absent (e.g., local IPs, LAPI unavailable, manual bans), the field is stored as an empty string `""`. The frontend treats empty-string country values as "Unknown" in display.
+**Change 2: Always install required collections (remove env var gate)**
-**Migration:** GORM `AutoMigrate` will add columns non-destructively. No manual migration needed. Existing rows will have empty `Scenario`/`Country`/`ExpiresAt` fields.
+Replace the conditional hub items install (current L322-328):
-**Composite Indexes:** In addition to the single-column indexes defined via struct tags, the following composite indexes are required for performant aggregation queries on 100k+ row tables. Define them via GORM `compositeIndex` tags or a custom `Migrator.CreateIndex()` call in the model's `AfterAutoMigrate` hook:
-
-| Composite Index Name | Columns | Covers |
-|----------------------|---------|--------|
-| `idx_sd_source_created` | `(source, created_at)` | All time-range filtered queries: summary counts, timeline bucketing |
-| `idx_sd_source_scenario_created` | `(source, scenario, created_at)` | Scenario breakdown, top-scenario ranking |
-| `idx_sd_source_ip_created` | `(source, ip, created_at)` | Top-IPs ranking, unique IP counts |
-
-**GORM definition (compositeIndex tag approach):**
-
-```go
-type SecurityDecision struct {
- // ...
- Source string `json:"source" gorm:"index;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_created;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_scenario_created;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_ip_created"`
- Scenario string `json:"scenario" gorm:"index;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_scenario_created"`
- IP string `json:"ip" gorm:"index;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_ip_created"`
- CreatedAt time.Time `json:"created_at" gorm:"index;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_created,sort:desc;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_scenario_created,sort:desc;compositeIndex:idx_sd_source_ip_created,sort:desc"`
- // ...
-}
+```sh
+# CURRENT (broken — env var never set):
+if [ "$SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE" = "local" ]; then
+ echo "Installing CrowdSec hub items..."
+ if [ -x /usr/local/bin/install_hub_items.sh ]; then
+ /usr/local/bin/install_hub_items.sh 2>/dev/null || echo "Warning: Some hub items may not have installed"
+ fi
+fi
```
-Alternatively, define via explicit `Migrator` calls in a post-migration hook if tag complexity is too high:
+With unconditional execution:
-```go
-db.Migrator().CreateIndex(&SecurityDecision{}, "idx_sd_source_created")
+```sh
+# NEW: Always ensure required collections are present.
+# This is idempotent — already-installed items are skipped by cscli.
+# Collections are needed regardless of whether CrowdSec is GUI-enabled,
+# because the user can enable CrowdSec at any time via the dashboard
+# and expects it to work immediately.
+echo "Ensuring CrowdSec hub items are installed..."
+if [ -x /usr/local/bin/install_hub_items.sh ]; then
+ /usr/local/bin/install_hub_items.sh || echo "⚠️ Some hub items may not have installed. CrowdSec can still start."
+fi
```

+**Change 3: Add `crowdsecurity/caddy` collection**
+
+Add after the existing `crowdsecurity/base-http-scenarios` install:
+
+```sh
+# Install Caddy collection (parser + scenarios for Caddy access logs)
+echo "Installing Caddy collection..."
+cscli collections install crowdsecurity/caddy --force 2>/dev/null || true
```
-### 3.5 Caching Strategy
+**Change 4: Remove redundant individual parser installs that are included in collections**
-A simple in-memory cache with TTL per endpoint. The cache instance is owned by `CrowdsecHandler`:
+The `crowdsecurity/base-http-scenarios` collection already includes `crowdsecurity/http-logs` and several of the individually installed scenarios. The `crowdsecurity/caddy` collection includes `crowdsecurity/caddy-logs`. Keep the individual installs as fallbacks (they are idempotent), but add a comment noting the overlap. No lines need deletion — the `--force` flag and idempotency make this safe.
-```go
-// backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go — add field to existing struct
-type CrowdsecHandler struct {
- // ... existing fields (DB, Executor, CmdExec, BinPath, etc.)
- dashCache *dashboardCache // Dashboard analytics cache (initialized in constructor)
-}
-```
+### Summary of File Changes
-`dashCache` is initialized in `NewCrowdsecHandler()` (or the factory function that creates the handler). `BanIP` and `UnbanIP` call `h.dashCache.Invalidate("dashboard")` after successful operations to ensure stale data is not served.
+| File | Change | Lines |
+|---|---|---|
+| `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh` | Unconditional `cscli hub update` | ~L313-315 |
+| `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh` | Remove `SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE` gate on hub items install | ~L322-328 |
+| `configs/crowdsec/install_hub_items.sh` | Add `crowdsecurity/caddy` collection install | After L60 |
-```go
-// backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard_cache.go
-type dashboardCache struct {
- mu sync.RWMutex
- entries map[string]*cacheEntry
-}
+## Edge Cases
-type cacheEntry struct {
- data interface{}
- expiresAt time.Time
-}
-```
+| Scenario | Handling |
+|---|---|
+| **No network at startup** | `cscli hub update` fails with timeout. The `install_hub_items.sh` also fails. Entrypoint continues — CrowdSec starts with whatever is cached (or no collections). User can retry via GUI. |
+| **Hub CDN returns 5xx** | Same as no network — timeout + fallback. |
+| **Collections already installed** | `--force` flag makes `cscli collections install` idempotent. It updates to latest if newer version available. |
+| **First boot (no prior data volume)** | Config gets copied from `.dist`, hub update runs, collections install. Clean bootstrap path. |
+| **Existing data volume (upgrade)** | Config already exists (skips copy), hub update refreshes stale index, collections install/upgrade. |
+| **`install_hub_items.sh` missing/not executable** | `-x` check in entrypoint skips it with a log message. CrowdSec starts without collections. |
+| **CrowdSec disabled in GUI** | Collections are still installed (they are just config files). No process runs until user enables via GUI. Zero runtime cost. |
-| Endpoint | TTL | Rationale |
-|----------|-----|-----------|
-| `/dashboard/summary` | 30s | High-level counters, frequent access |
-| `/dashboard/timeline` | 60s | Aggregated time-series, moderate computation |
-| `/dashboard/top-ips` | 60s | Aggregated ranking |
-| `/dashboard/scenarios` | 60s | Scenario grouping |
-| `/alerts` | 30s | LAPI-sourced, changes frequently |
+## Startup Time Impact
-Cache is invalidated on any `BanIP` or `UnbanIP` call.
+- `cscli hub update`: ~2-5s (single HTTPS request to hub CDN)
+- `install_hub_items.sh`: ~10-15s (multiple `cscli` invocations, each checking/installing)
+- Total additional startup time: **~12-20s** (first boot) / **~5-10s** (subsequent boots, items cached)
-### 3.6 Frontend Component Tree
+This is acceptable for a container that runs long-lived.
-```
-CrowdSecConfig.tsx (existing — add tab navigation)
-├── Tab: Configuration (existing content, unchanged)
-└── Tab: Dashboard (NEW)
- └── CrowdSecDashboard.tsx
- ├── DashboardSummaryCards.tsx (4 stat cards)
- ├── BanTimelineChart.tsx (Recharts AreaChart)
- ├── TopAttackingIPsChart.tsx (Recharts BarChart horizontal)
- ├── ScenarioBreakdownChart.tsx (Recharts PieChart)
- ├── ActiveDecisionsTable.tsx (table with sort/filter)
- ├── AlertsList.tsx (LAPI alerts feed)
- ├── DashboardTimeRangeSelector.tsx (1h/6h/24h/7d/30d toggle)
- └── DecisionsExportButton.tsx (CSV/JSON export)
-```
+## Acceptance Criteria
-### 3.7 Charting Library: Recharts
+1. After `docker compose up` with a fresh data volume, `cscli collections list` shows `crowdsecurity/caddy`, `crowdsecurity/base-http-scenarios`, and `crowdsecurity/http-cve` installed.
+2. After `docker compose up` with an existing data volume (stale index), hub index is refreshed and collections remain installed.
+3. If the container starts with no network, CrowdSec initialization logs warnings but does not crash or block startup.
+4. No env var (`SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE`) is required for collections to be installed.
+5. Startup time increase is < 30 seconds.
-**Decision:** Add `recharts` as a frontend dependency.
+## Commit Slicing Strategy
-| Criterion | Recharts | Chart.js/react-chartjs-2 | Nivo |
-|-----------|----------|--------------------------|------|
-| React integration | Native (built on React components) | Wrapper around imperative API | Native |
-| Bundle size (tree-shaken) | ~45 KB gzipped (only imported charts) | ~65 KB gzipped | ~80+ KB |
-| TypeScript support | Built-in | @types package | Built-in |
-| D3-based | Yes (composable) | No (Canvas-based) | Yes |
-| Accessibility | SVG-based, supports ARIA labels | Canvas (limited a11y) | SVG, good a11y |
-| Tailwind compatibility | SVG renders, style via props | Canvas, no CSS styling | SVG renders |
-| Maintenance | Active, 24k+ stars, MIT | Active | Active |
-| SSR/SSG | Works | Requires client-only | Works |
+**Decision**: Single PR. Scope is small (3 files, ~15 lines changed), low risk, and all changes are tightly coupled.
-**Rationale:** Recharts is React-native (no imperative bridge), renders SVG (accessible, inspectable, screen-reader friendly), tree-shakeable, and has the best Tailwind CSS compatibility. Bundle impact is minimal since only the chart types we use are imported.
-
-**Install:** `npm install recharts` in `frontend/`.
-
-### 3.8 Build & Config File Changes
-
-**`frontend/package.json`** — add `"recharts": "^2.15.0"` to `dependencies`.
-
-**`Dockerfile`** — No changes needed. `npm ci` at line 113 will install Recharts from the updated `package-lock.json`.
-
-**`.gitignore`** — No changes needed. `node_modules/` is already ignored.
-
-**`codecov.yml`** — No changes needed. Frontend coverage flags already cover `frontend/src/**`.
-
-**`.dockerignore`** — No changes needed. Build context already includes `frontend/`.

-```
-
-**`decisions_trend` calculation:** Percentage change vs. the previous period of equal length. For a `24h` range: compare total decisions in the last 24h against the total decisions in the 24h before that. Formula: `((current - previous) / previous) * 100`. If `previous = 0`, return `0.0` (no trend data). If `current = 0` and `previous > 0`, return `-100.0`. Value is a float rounded to 1 decimal place. Positive = increase, negative = decrease.
-
-**Backend Implementation:**
-
-```go
-// File: backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard.go
-// Function: func (h *CrowdsecHandler) DashboardSummary(c *gin.Context)
-
-// HYBRID APPROACH (B7): active_decisions comes from LAPI; historical metrics from SQLite.
-//
-// Existing Cerberus middleware callers of SecurityService.LogDecision() do not
-// populate ExpiresAt. Rather than modifying all middleware callers in PR-1, we
-// use the authoritative LAPI source for active decision counts and SQLite for
-// historical aggregations only.
-//
-// From CrowdSec LAPI (real-time, authoritative):
-// GET /v1/decisions → len(decisions) = active_decisions
-//
-// From SQLite (historical aggregation):
-// SELECT COUNT(*) as total FROM security_decisions WHERE created_at >= ? AND source = 'crowdsec'
-// SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ip) as unique_ips FROM security_decisions WHERE created_at >= ? AND source = 'crowdsec'
-// SELECT scenario, COUNT(*) as cnt FROM security_decisions WHERE created_at >= ? AND source = 'crowdsec' GROUP BY scenario ORDER BY cnt DESC LIMIT 1
-//
-// Fallback: If LAPI is unreachable, active_decisions = -1 (frontend shows "N/A").
-// The ExpiresAt field is still added to the model for future enrichment when
-// Cerberus middleware callers are updated in a subsequent PR.
-```
-
-### 4.2 `GET /admin/crowdsec/dashboard/timeline`
-
-Returns time-bucketed decision counts for the timeline chart.
-
-**Query Parameters:**
-
-| Param | Type | Default | Description |
-|-------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `range` | string | `24h` | Time range |
-| `interval` | string | auto | Bucket interval: `5m`, `1h`, `1d` (auto-selected based on range if omitted) |
-
-**Auto-interval mapping:**
-
-| Range | Default Interval | Max Buckets |
-|-------|-----------------|-------------|
-| `1h` | `5m` | 12 |
-| `6h` | `15m` | 24 |
-| `24h` | `1h` | 24 |
-| `7d` | `6h` | 28 |
-| `30d` | `1d` | 30 |
-
-**Response (200):**
-
-```json
-{
- "buckets": [
- { "timestamp": "2026-03-25T00:00:00Z", "bans": 5, "captchas": 1 },
- { "timestamp": "2026-03-25T01:00:00Z", "bans": 12, "captchas": 0 }
- ],
- "range": "24h",
- "interval": "1h",
- "cached": true
-}
-```
-
-**Backend Implementation:**
-
-```go
-// File: backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard.go
-// Function: func (h *CrowdsecHandler) DashboardTimeline(c *gin.Context)
-
-// SQLite time bucketing via strftime for all 5 intervals:
-//
-// 5m: strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:', created_at) ||
-// printf('%02d:00Z', (CAST(strftime('%M', created_at) AS INTEGER) / 5) * 5)
-//
-// 15m: strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:', created_at) ||
-// printf('%02d:00Z', (CAST(strftime('%M', created_at) AS INTEGER) / 15) * 15)
-//
-// 1h: strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:00:00Z', created_at)
-//
-// 6h: strftime('%Y-%m-%dT', created_at) ||
-// printf('%02d:00:00Z', (CAST(strftime('%H', created_at) AS INTEGER) / 6) * 6)
-//
-// 1d: strftime('%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z', created_at)
-//
-// Example (1h bucket — default for 24h range):
-// SELECT strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:00:00Z', created_at) as bucket,
-// SUM(CASE WHEN action = 'block' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as bans,
-// SUM(CASE WHEN action = 'challenge' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as captchas
-// FROM security_decisions
-// WHERE created_at >= ? AND source = 'crowdsec'
-// GROUP BY bucket ORDER BY bucket ASC
-```
-
-The `intervalToStrftime(interval string) string` helper function maps the interval parameter to the appropriate SQLite `strftime` expression. The 5-minute and 6-hour roundings use integer division to snap to the nearest bucket boundary.
-
-### 4.3 `GET /admin/crowdsec/dashboard/top-ips`
-
-Returns top attacking IPs ranked by decision count.
-
-**Query Parameters:**
-
-| Param | Type | Default | Description |
-|-------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `range` | string | `24h` | Time range |
-| `limit` | int | `10` | Max results (capped at 50) |
-
-**Response (200):**
-
-```json
-{
- "ips": [
- { "ip": "203.0.113.42", "count": 47, "last_seen": "2026-03-25T09:15:00Z", "country": "CN" },
- { "ip": "198.51.100.7", "count": 23, "last_seen": "2026-03-25T08:30:00Z", "country": "RU" }
- ],
- "range": "24h",
- "cached": true
-}
-```
-
-> **Design Decision (B3):** `top_scenario` was removed from the per-IP response. Computing the most frequent scenario per IP requires a correlated subquery or two-pass query, adding significant complexity for marginal UX value. The scenario breakdown chart (Section 4.4) already provides scenario visibility. If per-IP scenario data is needed later, it can be added as a detail view.
-
-**Backend Implementation:**
-
-```go
-// File: backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard.go
-// Function: func (h *CrowdsecHandler) DashboardTopIPs(c *gin.Context)
-
-// SELECT ip, COUNT(*) as count, MAX(created_at) as last_seen, country
-// FROM security_decisions
-// WHERE created_at >= ? AND source = 'crowdsec'
-// GROUP BY ip ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT ?
-```
-
-### 4.4 `GET /admin/crowdsec/dashboard/scenarios`

-**Backend Implementation:**
-
-```go
-// File: backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard.go
-// Function: func (h *CrowdsecHandler) ListAlerts(c *gin.Context)

-// req.Header.Set("X-Api-Key", apiKey)
-// Falls back to `cscli alerts list -o json` on LAPI failure.

-
-**CSV Columns:** `uuid,ip,action,source,scenario,rule_id,host,country,created_at,expires_at`
-
-**Security — CSV Formula Injection (CWE-1236):** CSV field values MUST be sanitized to prevent formula injection. Fields starting with `=`, `+`, `-`, `@`, `\t`, or `\r` SHALL be prefixed with a single quote (`'`) before writing to the CSV output. This applies to all user-influenced fields: `ip`, `scenario`, `rule_id`, `host`, and `details`. Reference: [OWASP CSV Injection](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/CSV_Injection).

-## 5. Frontend Component Design
-
-### 5.1 New Files
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `frontend/src/pages/CrowdSecDashboard.tsx` | Dashboard tab content (orchestrator) |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/DashboardSummaryCards.tsx` | 4 summary stat cards |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/BanTimelineChart.tsx` | Area chart for ban timeline |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/TopAttackingIPsChart.tsx` | Horizontal bar chart |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/ScenarioBreakdownChart.tsx` | Pie/donut chart |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/ActiveDecisionsTable.tsx` | Enhanced decisions table |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/AlertsList.tsx` | LAPI alerts feed |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/DashboardTimeRangeSelector.tsx` | Time range toggle (1h/6h/24h/7d/30d) |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/DecisionsExportButton.tsx` | Export dropdown (CSV/JSON) |
-| `frontend/src/api/crowdsecDashboard.ts` | API client for dashboard endpoints |
-| `frontend/src/hooks/useCrowdsecDashboard.ts` | React Query hooks for dashboard data |
-
-### 5.2 Integration into Existing Page
-
-`CrowdSecConfig.tsx` currently renders configuration UI directly. We add tab navigation using Radix UI Tabs (already in `package.json` as `@radix-ui/react-tabs`):
-
-```tsx
-// CrowdSecConfig.tsx — modified
-import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger, TabsContent } from '../components/ui'
-import { CrowdSecDashboard } from './CrowdSecDashboard'
-
-// Inside the return:
-
-
- Configuration
- Dashboard
-
-
- {/* ... existing configuration content (moved here) ... */}
-
-
-
-
-
-```
-
-### 5.3 API Client
-
-```typescript
-// frontend/src/api/crowdsecDashboard.ts
-
-import client from './client'
-
-export type TimeRange = '1h' | '6h' | '24h' | '7d' | '30d'

-
-### 5.4 React Query Hooks
-
-```typescript
-// frontend/src/hooks/useCrowdsecDashboard.ts
-
-import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'
-import {
- getDashboardSummary,
- getDashboardTimeline,
- getDashboardTopIPs,
- getDashboardScenarios,

- type TimeRange,
-} from '../api/crowdsecDashboard'
-
-const STALE_TIME = 30_000 // 30 seconds — matches backend cache TTL
-
-export function useDashboardSummary(range: TimeRange) {
- return useQuery({
- queryKey: ['crowdsec-dashboard-summary', range],
- queryFn: () => getDashboardSummary(range),
- staleTime: STALE_TIME,
- })
-}
-
-export function useDashboardTimeline(range: TimeRange) {

- return useQuery({
- queryKey: ['crowdsec-alerts', params],
- queryFn: () => getAlerts(params),
- staleTime: STALE_TIME,
- })
-}
-```
-
-### 5.5 Accessibility Considerations
-
-- **Charts:** Each Recharts component gets `role="img"` and `aria-label` describing the chart content. Recharts SVG output supports `` and `<desc>` elements.
-- **Tables:** Use semantic `<table>`, `<th>`, `<td>` with proper headers. Sort controls use `aria-sort`.
-- **Time Range Selector:** Uses Radix Tabs pattern (roving tabindex, arrow key navigation).
-- **Color:** All chart colors meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast (4.5:1 minimum). Patterns/shapes supplement color for colorblind users.
-- **Keyboard:** All interactive elements (tabs, buttons, table rows) keyboard navigable. Focus indicators visible.
-- **Screen Reader:** Summary cards use `aria-live="polite"` for dynamic updates when time range changes.

-## 6. Implementation Phases
-
-### Phase 1 / PR-1: Backend Aggregation APIs + Model Enrichment
-
-**Scope:** Backend only. No frontend changes.
-
-**Files to create:**
-
-| File | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard.go` | New handler file with all 6 dashboard/export endpoints |
-| `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard_cache.go` | In-memory cache with TTL |
-| `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard_test.go` | Unit tests for all new endpoints |
-
-**Files to modify:**
-
-| File | Change |
-|------|--------|
-| `backend/internal/models/security_decision.go` | Add `Scenario`, `Country`, `ExpiresAt` fields |
-| `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go` | In `RegisterRoutes`, add 6 new route registrations |
-| `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go` | In `BanIP`, after successful `cscli decisions add`, call `h.Security.LogDecision()` to persist a `SecurityDecision` record with `Source: "crowdsec"`, `Action: "block"`, `Scenario: "manual"`, `ExpiresAt` computed from the duration parameter, and `Country: ""` (empty for manual bans). This ensures manual bans appear in dashboard aggregations. |
-| `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go` | In `UnbanIP`, after successful unban, call `h.dashCache.Invalidate("dashboard")` to clear cached dashboard data |
-
-**New Route Registrations (in `RegisterRoutes`):**
-
-```go
-// Dashboard analytics endpoints (Issue #26)
-rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/dashboard/summary", h.DashboardSummary)
-rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/dashboard/timeline", h.DashboardTimeline)
-rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/dashboard/top-ips", h.DashboardTopIPs)
-rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/dashboard/scenarios", h.DashboardScenarios)
-rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/alerts", h.ListAlerts)
-rg.GET("/admin/crowdsec/decisions/export", h.ExportDecisions)
-```
-
-**Key Functions:**
-
-```go
-func (h *CrowdsecHandler) DashboardSummary(c *gin.Context)
-func (h *CrowdsecHandler) DashboardTimeline(c *gin.Context)
-func (h *CrowdsecHandler) DashboardTopIPs(c *gin.Context)
-func (h *CrowdsecHandler) DashboardScenarios(c *gin.Context)
-func (h *CrowdsecHandler) ListAlerts(c *gin.Context)
-func (h *CrowdsecHandler) ExportDecisions(c *gin.Context)
-func parseTimeRange(rangeStr string) (time.Time, error)
-func (c *dashboardCache) Get(key string) (interface{}, bool)
-func (c *dashboardCache) Set(key string, data interface{}, ttl time.Duration)
-func (c *dashboardCache) Invalidate(prefixes ...string)
-```
-
-**Database Indexes:** GORM will create single-column indexes via struct tags and composite indexes via `compositeIndex` tags (see Section 3.3). Verify after migration:
-
-- **Single-column:** `idx_security_decisions_scenario`, `idx_security_decisions_country`, `idx_security_decisions_expires_at`
-- **Composite:** `idx_sd_source_created`, `idx_sd_source_scenario_created`, `idx_sd_source_ip_created`
-
-See Appendix C for verification queries.
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-
-- [ ] All 6 endpoints return valid JSON with correct schemas
-- [ ] `parseTimeRange` rejects invalid inputs (returns 400)
-- [ ] Aggregation queries use parameterized GORM (no raw SQL concatenation)
-- [ ] Cache returns stale data within TTL, fresh data after TTL expires
-- [ ] Export produces valid CSV with proper escaping and JSON
-- [ ] Alerts endpoint falls back to `cscli alerts list` when LAPI unreachable
-- [ ] No LAPI keys in any response body
-- [ ] Unit test coverage ≥ 85%
-- [ ] GORM security scanner passes with 0 CRITICAL/HIGH

-| `tests/security/crowdsec-dashboard.spec.ts` | Playwright E2E tests (new file, follows existing `tests/security/crowdsec-*.spec.ts` convention) |
-
-**Files to modify:**
-
-| File | Change |
-|------|--------|
-| `frontend/package.json` | Add `recharts` dependency |
-| `frontend/src/pages/CrowdSecConfig.tsx` | Wrap content in Radix Tabs; add Dashboard tab |
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-
-- [ ] Dashboard tab renders when CrowdSec page visited and tab clicked
-- [ ] All 4 summary cards display data from `/dashboard/summary`
-- [ ] Timeline chart renders with Recharts AreaChart
-- [ ] Top IPs chart renders as horizontal BarChart
-- [ ] Scenario breakdown renders as PieChart/DonutChart
-- [ ] Time range selector switches all charts simultaneously
-- [ ] Loading states show skeletons (consistent with existing patterns)
-- [ ] Error states show user-friendly messages
-- [ ] Vitest unit test coverage ≥ 85%
-- [ ] Playwright E2E tests pass on Firefox, Chromium, WebKit
-- [ ] All interactive elements keyboard navigable
-- [ ] Chart colors meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast requirements
-- [ ] Tab labels use i18n: `t('crowdsec.tabs.config')` and `t('crowdsec.tabs.dashboard')` with keys added to all locale files
-- [ ] `CrowdSecDashboard` is loaded via `React.lazy()` with `<Suspense>` fallback to avoid loading Recharts bundle on the Configuration tab
-
----
-
-### Phase 3 / PR-3: Alerts Feed, Enhanced Notifications, Ban Export
-
-**Scope:** Frontend alerts UI + notification enrichment + export functionality.
-
-**Files to create:**
-
-| File | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/AlertsList.tsx` | Alerts feed with filters |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/DecisionsExportButton.tsx` | Export dropdown (CSV/JSON) — moved from PR-2 for coherent slicing (button + tests in same PR) |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/__tests__/AlertsList.test.tsx` | Unit tests |
-| `frontend/src/components/crowdsec/__tests__/DecisionsExportButton.test.tsx` | Unit tests |
-
-**Files to modify:**
-
-| File | Change |
-|------|--------|
-| `frontend/src/pages/CrowdSecDashboard.tsx` | Add AlertsList component |
-| `backend/internal/services/enhanced_security_notification_service.go` | Enrich `crowdsec_decision` payload with scenario and structured data |
-
-**Notification Enrichment:** Currently the notification service dispatches a generic event for `crowdsec_decision`. This PR enriches the payload to include scenario, IP, action, and duration in a structured format.
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-
-- [ ] Alerts list displays LAPI alerts with scenario, IP, events count, timestamps
-- [ ] Alerts list supports filtering by scenario
-- [ ] Export button downloads valid CSV or JSON file
-- [ ] Export filename includes timestamp
-- [ ] Notification payload includes scenario name and structured data
-- [ ] E2E tests cover export flow and alerts display
-- [ ] Unit test coverage ≥ 85%

-## 7. Testing Strategy
-
-### 7.1 Backend Unit Tests
-
-**File:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_dashboard_test.go`
-
-| Test | What It Validates |
-|------|-------------------|

-| `TestDashboardTimeline_Buckets` | Correct time bucketing for 24h/1h interval |
-| `TestDashboardTimeline_EmptyRange` | Returns empty buckets array |
-| `TestDashboardTopIPs_Ranking` | IPs ordered by count descending |
-| `TestDashboardTopIPs_LimitCap` | Limit parameter capped at 50 |
-| `TestDashboardScenarios_Breakdown` | Correct percentage calculation |
-| `TestListAlerts_LAPISuccess` | Parses LAPI response correctly |
-| `TestListAlerts_LAPIFallback` | Falls back to cscli on LAPI failure |
-| `TestExportDecisions_CSV` | Valid CSV output with headers |
-| `TestExportDecisions_JSON` | Valid JSON array output |
-| `TestExportDecisions_InvalidFormat` | Returns 400 for unsupported format |
-| `TestParseTimeRange_Valid` | Accepts 1h, 6h, 24h, 7d, 30d |
-| `TestParseTimeRange_Invalid` | Rejects arbitrary strings, negative values |
-| `TestDashboardCache_TTL` | Entries expire after configured TTL |
-| `TestDashboardCache_Invalidation` | Cache cleared on BanIP/UnbanIP |
-
-**Test Fixtures:** Use GORM's `sqlite://file::memory:?cache=shared` in-memory DB with seeded `SecurityDecision` records spanning multiple scenarios, IPs, and time ranges.
-
-### 7.2 Frontend Unit Tests (Vitest)
-
-| Test File | Key Tests |
-|-----------|-----------|
-| `DashboardSummaryCards.test.tsx` | Renders 4 cards, shows loading skeleton, handles error |
-| `BanTimelineChart.test.tsx` | Renders Recharts AreaChart, handles empty data |
-| `TopAttackingIPsChart.test.tsx` | Renders BarChart, shows correct IP labels |
-| `ScenarioBreakdownChart.test.tsx` | Renders PieChart, shows percentages |
-| `ActiveDecisionsTable.test.tsx` | Renders table rows, sorts by column |
-| `AlertsList.test.tsx` | Renders alert items, filters by scenario |
-| `DecisionsExportButton.test.tsx` | Triggers correct API call for CSV/JSON |
-| `useCrowdsecDashboard.test.ts` | Hooks return data, handle loading/error states |
-
-**Mocking:** Use `vi.mock('../api/crowdsecDashboard')` with typed mock data matching the API schemas defined in Section 4.
-
-### 7.3 E2E Tests (Playwright)
-
-**File:** `tests/security/crowdsec-dashboard.spec.ts`
-
-```typescript
-test.describe('CrowdSec Dashboard', () => {
- test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
- await page.goto('/security/crowdsec')
- })
-
- test('Dashboard tab is visible and clickable', async ({ page }) => {
- await test.step('Navigate to dashboard tab', async () => {
- await page.getByRole('tab', { name: 'Dashboard' }).click()
- })
- await test.step('Verify summary cards are visible', async () => {
- await expect(page.getByTestId('dashboard-summary-cards')).toBeVisible()
- })
- })
-
- test('Time range selector updates all charts', async ({ page }) => {
- // Click Dashboard tab, select 7d range, verify charts re-render
- })
-
- test('Export button downloads CSV file', async ({ page }) => {
- // Click Dashboard tab, click Export, select CSV, verify download
- })
-
- test('Active decisions table displays data', async ({ page }) => {
- // Verify table headers and at least one row (requires seed data or ban)
- })
-})
-```
-
-**Test Data:** E2E tests run against the Docker container which has CrowdSec running. Tests that require specific decision data should use the existing `POST /admin/crowdsec/ban` endpoint to create test bans. Because `BanIP` now calls `SecurityService.LogDecision()` (see B1 fix), these bans will be persisted as `SecurityDecision` records and will appear in dashboard aggregation queries. Seed at least 3 bans with distinct IPs and the default duration to populate summary cards and top-IPs chart.
-
-### 7.4 Test Execution Order
-
-1. **GORM Security Scanner** — Before any commit (manual stage, PR-1 only)
-2. **Backend unit tests** — `cd backend && go test ./internal/api/handlers/ -run TestDashboard -v -count=1`
-3. **Frontend unit tests** — `cd frontend && npm run test`
-4. **E2E Playwright** — Via task `Test: E2E Playwright (FireFox) - Security Suite`
-

-
-## 8. Commit Slicing Strategy
-
-### Decision: 3 PRs (Multi-PR)
-
-**Trigger reasons:**
-
-- Cross-domain changes (backend + frontend + new dependency)
-- Risk isolation (new dependency in separate PR aids rollback)
-- Review size (estimated ~2500 lines total; 800-1000 per PR is reviewable)
-- Testing gates (backend APIs must exist before frontend can E2E test against them)
-
-### PR Slices
-
-| Slice | Scope | Files (est.) | Dependencies | Validation Gate |
-|-------|-------|-------------|--------------|-----------------|
-| **PR-1** | Backend: model enrichment + 6 API endpoints + cache + unit tests | ~800 LOC across 3 new files + 2 modified | None | Backend unit tests pass ≥ 85% coverage; GORM scanner clean |
-| **PR-2** | Frontend: Recharts dependency + dashboard page + charts + Vitest + E2E (no export button) | ~1100 LOC across 11 new files + 2 modified | PR-1 merged | Vitest ≥ 85% coverage; E2E pass all browsers |
-| **PR-3** | Alerts feed + notification enrichment + export button + export UI | ~600 LOC across 4 new files + 2 modified | PR-2 merged | Unit + E2E pass; export produces valid files |
-
-### Rollback & Contingency
-
-- **PR-1 rollback:** Drop new columns via migration or tolerate empty columns (GORM ignores unknown columns). Remove new routes.
-- **PR-2 rollback:** Revert frontend changes. Remove `recharts` from `package.json`. The backend endpoints remain harmlessly unused.
-- **PR-3 rollback:** Revert frontend components. Notification changes are backward-compatible (extra fields in payload are ignored by existing formatters).

-## 9. Risk Assessment
-
-| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
-|------|-----------|--------|------------|
-| **LAPI unavailable** when CrowdSec stopped | High | Dashboard shows incomplete data | All endpoints return graceful empty states; summary uses SQLite-only data; alerts endpoint falls back to cscli |
-| **SQLite performance** on large `security_decisions` tables | Medium | Slow dashboard loads | Indexed columns, time-range scoping, 30s cache TTL, LIMIT clauses |
-| **Recharts bundle size** increases frontend load | Low | Slower initial page load | Tree-shaking (only import used charts), code-split dashboard tab via `React.lazy` |
-| **LAPI API changes** between CrowdSec versions | Low | Parsing failures | Defensive parsing with fallback to cscli; version-agnostic field access |
-| **Country lookup accuracy** | Medium | Inaccurate country data | Country field is best-effort from LAPI's `source.cn` field; clearly labeled as approximate |
-| **SSRF via LAPI URL** | Low | Internal network scanning | Reuse existing `validateCrowdsecLAPIBaseURL` with internal-only allowlist |
-| **Sensitive IP data exposure** | Medium | Privacy concern | All dashboard endpoints behind admin auth; no public access; export requires admin role |
-
----
-
-## 10. Out of Scope
-
-| Item | Rationale |
-|------|-----------|
-| **Full CrowdSec management clone** (à la crowdsec_manager) | Charon embeds CrowdSec as one module, not a standalone manager |
-| **Hub browser expansion** | Existing preset system is sufficient; hub browsing is a separate feature |
-| **Real-time SSE/WebSocket decision streaming** | Adds significant complexity; polling with 30s cache is adequate for v1 |
-| **GeoIP map visualization** | Requires map rendering library + GeoIP database; future enhancement |
-| **CrowdSec Traefik/Nginx integration** | Charon uses Caddy only |
-| **Custom scenario creation** | Users manage scenarios via CrowdSec Hub/CLI, not Charon UI |
-| **Decision auto-expiry cleanup** | CrowdSec handles decision lifecycle; Charon only displays |
-| **i18n for chart data labels** | Deferred; chart data labels use English scenario names from CrowdSec. Tab labels (`Configuration`, `Dashboard`) are i18n'd in PR-2 (see acceptance criteria). |
-| **Dark mode chart theme** | Deferred; initial charts use Charon's existing color palette |
-
----
-
-## Appendix A: Time Range Validation
-
-```go
-func parseTimeRange(rangeStr string) (time.Time, error) {
- now := time.Now().UTC()
- switch rangeStr {
- case "1h":
- return now.Add(-1 * time.Hour), nil
- case "6h":
- return now.Add(-6 * time.Hour), nil
- case "24h", "":
- return now.Add(-24 * time.Hour), nil
- case "7d":
- return now.Add(-7 * 24 * time.Hour), nil
- case "30d":
- return now.Add(-30 * 24 * time.Hour), nil
- default:
- return time.Time{}, fmt.Errorf("invalid range: %s (valid: 1h, 6h, 24h, 7d, 30d)", rangeStr)
- }
-}
-```
-
-## Appendix B: Dashboard Color Palette
-
-Colors chosen for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance against both light and dark backgrounds:
-
-| Use | Color | Hex | Contrast vs White | Contrast vs #1a1a2e |
-|-----|-------|-----|-------------------|---------------------|
-| Bans (primary) | Blue | `#3b82f6` | 4.5:1 | 5.2:1 |
-| Captchas | Amber | `#f59e0b` | 3.1:1 (large text) | 7.8:1 |
-| Top scenario 1 | Indigo | `#6366f1` | 4.6:1 | 4.8:1 |
-| Top scenario 2 | Emerald | `#10b981` | 4.5:1 | 5.9:1 |
-| Top scenario 3 | Rose | `#f43f5e` | 4.5:1 | 5.7:1 |
-| Top scenario 4 | Cyan | `#06b6d4` | 4.5:1 | 6.1:1 |
-| Top scenario 5+ | Slate | `#64748b` | 4.6:1 | 4.5:1 |
-
-## Appendix C: SQLite Index Verification
-
-After migration, verify indexes exist:
-
-```sql
-SELECT name, tbl_name FROM sqlite_master
-WHERE type = 'index' AND tbl_name = 'security_decisions';
-```
-
-Expected new **single-column** indexes: `idx_security_decisions_scenario`, `idx_security_decisions_country`, `idx_security_decisions_expires_at` — in addition to existing indexes on `source`, `action`, `ip`, `host`, `rule_id`, `created_at`.
-
-Expected new **composite** indexes (see Section 3.3 for rationale):
-
-| Index Name | Columns | Purpose |
-|------------|---------|---------|
-| `idx_sd_source_created` | `(source, created_at DESC)` | All time-range filtered aggregation queries |
-| `idx_sd_source_scenario_created` | `(source, scenario, created_at DESC)` | Scenario breakdown, top-scenario ranking |
-| `idx_sd_source_ip_created` | `(source, ip, created_at DESC)` | Top-IPs ranking, unique IP counts |
-
-**Verification query for composite indexes:**
-
-```sql
-SELECT name, sql FROM sqlite_master
-WHERE type = 'index' AND tbl_name = 'security_decisions'
- AND name LIKE 'idx_sd_%';
-```
-
-**strftime interval reference** (used in timeline bucketing, Section 4.2):
-
-| Interval | SQLite Expression |
-|----------|-------------------|
-| `5m` | `strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:', created_at) \|\| printf('%02d:00Z', (CAST(strftime('%M', created_at) AS INTEGER) / 5) * 5)` |
-| `15m` | `strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:', created_at) \|\| printf('%02d:00Z', (CAST(strftime('%M', created_at) AS INTEGER) / 15) * 15)` |
-| `1h` | `strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:00:00Z', created_at)` |
-| `6h` | `strftime('%Y-%m-%dT', created_at) \|\| printf('%02d:00:00Z', (CAST(strftime('%H', created_at) AS INTEGER) / 6) * 6)` |
-| `1d` | `strftime('%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z', created_at)` |

-## Revision History
-
-| Version | Date | Author | Changes |
-|---------|------|--------|---------|
-| 1.0 | 2026-03-25 | — | Initial draft |
-| 1.1 | 2026-03-25 | — | Supervisor review remediation: 7 blocking fixes (B1–B7) + 5 important items (I1–I5). **B1:** Added `LogDecision()` call in `BanIP` for manual ban persistence. **B2:** Added composite indexes for aggregation query performance. **B3:** Removed `top_scenario` from per-IP response (simplicity). **B4:** Added `strftime` format strings for all 5 timeline intervals. **B5:** Added CSV formula injection sanitization requirement. **B6:** Specified `dashCache` field wiring on `CrowdsecHandler` struct. **B7:** Hybrid approach — `active_decisions` from LAPI, historical metrics from SQLite. **I1:** Tab labels use i18n keys. **I2:** Defined `decisions_trend` formula. **I3:** Clarified country field population from LAPI `source.cn`. **I4:** `React.lazy()` for dashboard tab. **I5:** Confirmed `tests/security/` convention. Moved `DecisionsExportButton.tsx` to PR-3. |
+**PR-1**: CrowdSec hub bootstrapping fix
+- **Scope**: `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh`, `configs/crowdsec/install_hub_items.sh`
+- **Validation**: Manual docker rebuild + verify collections with `cscli collections list`
+- **Rollback**: Revert PR; behavior returns to current (broken) state — no data loss risk

+# QA Report: CrowdSec Hub Bootstrapping Fix
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-05
+**Scope:** `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh`, `configs/crowdsec/install_hub_items.sh`, `scripts/crowdsec_startup_test.sh`
+**Status:** PASS
+
+---
+
+## 1. Shell Script Syntax Validation (`bash -n`)
+
+| File | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh` | ✓ Syntax OK |
+| `configs/crowdsec/install_hub_items.sh` | ✓ Syntax OK |
+| `scripts/crowdsec_startup_test.sh` | ✓ Syntax OK |
+
+**Verdict:** PASS — All three scripts parse without errors.
+
+---
+
+## 2. ShellCheck Static Analysis (v0.9.0)
+
+| File | Findings | Severity |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh` | SC2012 (L243): `ls` used where `find` is safer for non-alphanumeric filenames | Info |
+| `configs/crowdsec/install_hub_items.sh` | None | — |
+| `scripts/crowdsec_startup_test.sh` | SC2317 (L70,71,84,85,87-90): Functions in `trap` handler flagged as "unreachable" (false positive — invoked indirectly via `trap cleanup EXIT`) | Info |
+| `scripts/crowdsec_startup_test.sh` | SC2086 (L85): `${CONTAINER_NAME}` unquoted in `docker rm -f` | Info |
+
+**Verdict:** PASS — All findings are informational (severity: info). No warnings or errors. The SC2317 findings are false positives (standard `trap` pattern). The SC2086 finding is pre-existing and non-exploitable (variable is set to a constant string `charon-crowdsec-startup-test` without user input).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Pre-commit Hooks (Lefthook v2.1.4)
+
+| Hook | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| check-yaml | ✓ Pass |
+| actionlint | ✓ Pass |
+| end-of-file-fixer | ✓ Pass |
+| trailing-whitespace | ✓ Pass |
+| dockerfile-check | ✓ Pass |
+| shellcheck | ✓ Pass |
+
+**Verdict:** PASS — All 6 applicable hooks passed successfully.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Security Review
+
+### 4.1 Secrets and Credential Exposure
+
+| Check | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| Hardcoded secrets in changed files | None found |
+| API keys/tokens in changed files | None found |
+| Gotify tokens in logs/output/URLs | None found |
+| Environment variable secrets exposed via `echo` | None — all `echo` statements output status messages only |
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+### 4.2 Shell Injection Vectors
+
+| Check | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| User input used in commands | No user-controlled input enters any command. All variables are set from hardcoded paths |
+| `eval` usage | None |
+| Unquoted variable expansion in commands | All critical variables are quoted or hardcoded strings |
+| Command injection via hub item names | Not applicable — all `cscli` arguments are hardcoded collection/parser names |
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+### 4.3 `timeout` Usage Safety
+
+The entrypoint uses `timeout 60s cscli hub update 2>&1`:
+
+- `timeout` is the coreutils version (Alpine `busybox` timeout), sending SIGTERM after 60s
+- Prevents indefinite hang if hub CDN is unresponsive
+- 60s is appropriate for a single HTTPS request with potential DNS resolution
+- Failure is handled gracefully — logged as warning, startup continues
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+### 4.4 `--force` Flag Analysis
+
+All `--force` flags are on `cscli` install commands:
+
+- `--force` in `cscli` context means "re-download and overwrite if already installed" — functionally an upsert
+- Does NOT bypass integrity checks or signature verification
+- Does NOT skip CrowdSec's hub item hash validation
+- Ensures idempotent behavior on every startup
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+### 4.5 Error Visibility Changes
+
+The diff changes `2>/dev/null || true` patterns to `|| echo "⚠️ Failed to install ..."`:
+
+- **Before:** Errors silently swallowed
+- **After:** Errors logged with descriptive messages
+- This is a security improvement — silent failures can mask missing detection capabilities
+
+**Verdict:** PASS — Improved error visibility is a positive security change.
+
+### 4.6 Deprecated Environment Variable Removal
+
+| Check | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| `SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE` removed from entrypoint | ✓ env var gate deleted |
+| `CERBERUS_SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE=local` removed from startup test | ✓ removed from `docker run` |
+| No remaining references in changed files | ✓ only documentation files reference it (as deprecated) |
+| Backend config still reads `CERBERUS_SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE` | ✓ backend uses different var names via `getEnvAny()` |
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+---
+
+## 5. Dockerfile Consistency
+
+### 5.1 `install_hub_items.sh` Copy
+
+```dockerfile
+COPY configs/crowdsec/install_hub_items.sh /usr/local/bin/install_hub_items.sh
+RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/install_hub_items.sh /usr/local/bin/register_bouncer.sh
+```
+
+Copy path matches entrypoint invocation path (`-x /usr/local/bin/install_hub_items.sh`).
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+### 5.2 Build-Time vs Runtime Conflict Check
+
+| Concern | Analysis |
+|---------|----------|
+| Build-time `cscli hub update` | Not performed in Dockerfile |
+| Build-time collection install | Not performed in Dockerfile |
+| Conflict with runtime approach | None — all hub operations deferred to container startup |
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+### 5.3 Entrypoint Reference
+
+```dockerfile
+COPY .docker/docker-entrypoint.sh /docker-entrypoint.sh
+RUN chmod +x /docker-entrypoint.sh
+```
+
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+---
+
+## 6. Related Tests and CI
+
+| Test | Location | Status |
+|------|----------|--------|
+| `scripts/crowdsec_startup_test.sh` | Modified in this PR | Updated — no longer passes deprecated env var |
+| Backend config tests | `backend/internal/config/config_test.go` | Unchanged, still valid |
+| CrowdSec-specific CI workflows | None exist | N/A |
+
+The startup test script is the primary validation mechanism for hub bootstrapping. The E2E Playwright suite covers CrowdSec UI but not hub bootstrapping directly.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Change Summary and Risk Assessment
+
+| Change | Risk | Rationale |
+|--------|------|-----------|
+| Unconditional `cscli hub update` on startup | Low | Adds ~2-5s. Prevents stale-index hash mismatch. `timeout 60s` prevents hangs. Failure is graceful. |
+| Removed `SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE` env var gate | Low | Env var was deprecated and never set. Collections are idempotent config files with zero runtime cost. |
+| Added `crowdsecurity/caddy` collection | Low | Standard CrowdSec collection for Caddy. Installed via `--force` (idempotent). |
+| Removed `2>/dev/null` from `cscli` install commands | Low (positive) | Errors now visible in container logs. |
+| Removed redundant `cscli hub update` from `install_hub_items.sh` | Low | Prevents double hub update (~3s saved). |
+| Removed deprecated env var from startup test | Low | Test matches actual container behavior. |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Overall Verdict
+
+| Category | Status |
+|----------|--------|
+| Shell syntax | ✅ PASS |
+| ShellCheck | ✅ PASS (info-only findings) |
+| Pre-commit hooks | ✅ PASS |
+| Security: secrets/credentials | ✅ PASS |
+| Security: injection vectors | ✅ PASS |
+| Security: `timeout` safety | ✅ PASS |
+| Security: `--force` flags | ✅ PASS |
+| Dockerfile consistency | ✅ PASS |
+| Deprecated env var cleanup | ✅ PASS |
+| CI/test coverage | ✅ PASS |
+
+**Overall: PASS — No blockers. Ready for merge.**
