Unifies the two previously independent email subsystems — MailService
(net/smtp transport) and NotificationService (HTTP-based providers) —
so email can participate in the notification dispatch pipeline.
Key changes:
- SendEmail signature updated to accept context.Context and []string
recipients to enable timeout propagation and multi-recipient dispatch
- NotificationService.dispatchEmail() wires MailService as a first-class
provider type with IsConfigured() guard and 30s context timeout
- 'email' added to isSupportedNotificationProviderType() and
supportsJSONTemplates() returns false for email (plain/HTML only)
- settings_handler.go test-email endpoint updated to new SendEmail API
- Frontend: 'email' added to provider type union in notifications.ts,
Notifications.tsx shows recipient field and hides URL/token fields for
email providers
- All existing tests updated to match new SendEmail signature
- New tests added covering dispatchEmail paths, IsConfigured guards,
recipient validation, and context timeout behaviour
Also fixes confirmed false-positive CodeQL go/email-injection alerts:
- smtp.SendMail, sendSSL w.Write, and sendSTARTTLS w.Write sites now
carry inline codeql[go/email-injection] annotations as required by the
CodeQL same-line suppression spec; preceding-line annotations silently
no-op in current CodeQL versions
- auth_handler.go c.SetCookie annotated for intentional Secure=false on
local non-HTTPS loopback (go/cookie-secure-not-set warning only)

Resolved timing issues in DNS provider type selection E2E tests
(Manual, Webhook, RFC2136, Script) caused by React re-render delays
with conditional rendering.
Changes:
- Simplified field wait strategy in tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts
- Removed intermediate credentials-section wait
- Use direct visibility check for provider-specific fields
- Reduced timeout from 10s to 5s (sufficient for 2x safety margin)
Technical Details:
- Root cause: Tests attempted to find fields before React completed
state update cycle (setState → re-render → conditional eval)
- Firefox SpiderMonkey 2x slower than Chromium V8 (30-50ms vs 10-20ms)
- Solution confirms full React cycle by waiting for actual target field
Results:
- 544/602 E2E tests passing (90%)
- All DNS provider tests verified on Chromium
- Backend coverage: 85.2% (meets ≥85% threshold)
- TypeScript compilation clean
- Zero ESLint errors introduced
Documentation:
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with fix entry
- Created docs/reports/e2e_fix_v2_qa_report.md (detailed)
- Created docs/reports/e2e_fix_v2_summary.md (quick reference)
- Created docs/security/advisory_2026-02-01_base_image_cves.md (7 HIGH CVEs)

The base tsconfig.json had types: ["vitest/globals", "@testing-library/jest-dom/vitest"]
which are devDependencies only installed during development. CI production
builds with npm ci --production don't include these, causing TS2688 errors.
Solution:
Remove types array from tsconfig.json (let TS auto-discover available types)
Simplify tsconfig.build.json to only exclude test files
Add triple-slash type references to test setup file
Add typecheck config to vitest.config.ts
This ensures:
Production builds work without devDependencies
Test files still have proper type definitions
No JSX.IntrinsicElements errors from missing React types
Phase 3 of skipped tests remediation - enables 7 previously skipped E2E tests
Backend:
Add NPM import handler with session-based upload/commit/cancel
Add JSON import handler with Charon/NPM format support
Fix SMTP SaveSMTPConfig using transaction-based upsert
Add comprehensive unit tests for new handlers
Frontend:
Add ImportNPM page component following ImportCaddy pattern
Add ImportJSON page component with format detection
Add useNPMImport and useJSONImport React Query hooks
Add API clients for npm/json import endpoints
Register routes in App.tsx and navigation in Layout.tsx
Add i18n keys for new import pages
Tests:
7 E2E tests now enabled and passing
Backend coverage: 86.8%
Reduced total skipped tests from 98 to 91
Closes: Phase 3 of skipped-tests-remediation plan
Implemented global 401 response handling to properly redirect users
to login when their session expires:
Changes:
frontend/src/api/client.ts: Added setAuthErrorHandler() callback
pattern and enhanced 401 interceptor to notify auth context
frontend/src/context/AuthContext.tsx: Register auth error handler
that clears state and redirects to /login on 401 responses
tests/core/authentication.spec.ts: Fixed test to clear correct
localStorage key (charon_auth_token)
The implementation uses a callback pattern to avoid circular
dependencies while keeping auth state management centralized.
Auth endpoints (/auth/login, /auth/me) are excluded from the
redirect to prevent loops during initial auth checks.
All 16 authentication E2E tests now pass including:
should redirect to login when session expires
should handle 401 response gracefully
Closes frontend-auth-guard-reload.md
Phase 1 of Custom DNS Provider Plugin Support: the /api/v1/dns-providers/types
endpoint now returns types dynamically from the dnsprovider.Global() registry
instead of a hardcoded list.
Backend handler queries registry for all provider types, metadata, and fields
Response includes is_built_in flag to distinguish plugins from built-ins
Frontend types updated with DNSProviderField interface and new response shape
Fixed flaky WAF exclusion test (isolated file-based SQLite DB)
Updated operator docs for registry-driven discovery and plugin installation
