+| **v1.9.2** | 2026-07-19 | **Bugfix:** Caddy bare-path redir footgun — inside `handle` use `redir * /path/ 302` (not `redir /path/ 302`, which becomes `Location: 302` and bare URLs fall through to merchant **code 21**). Snippet + ROOT-APPLY: absolute apply path (`/home/hernani/koopa-caddy/…`, not `~` as root). |
 | **v1.9.1** | 2026-07-19 | **Bugfix:** stale path confusions in repo — sticky `pages_i3` no longer lists mail/mattermost/aptdeploy mon pages; lib.sh/android-test drop `scripts/taler-monitoring/`; monpages/host-agent hints match v1.8 layout; clarify GIT vs GUI vs CLI `*AUTOMATION-NOTES.md` (three files by design). |
 | **v1.9.0** | 2026-07-19 | **monpages content:** ERROR if page missing or markers incomplete — top (sticky-bar/status-bar/generated) + bottom (footer/`taler-mon:bottom`); mid-run (progress <100% / incomplete meta) relaxes bottom only. Surface required on normal GOA runs with meaningful body (not progress-only). HTML emits `taler-mon:top` / `taler-mon:bottom:complete|incomplete`. |
 | **v1.8.0** | 2026-07-19 | **Simplified public pages:** only `/taler-monitoring-surface(+_err)` on `taler.hacktivism.ch` for ecosystem software/versions; **9 landing stacks** each keep `/monitoring(+_err)`. Mail (firefly.gnunet.org + anastasis.taler-systems.com) and Mattermost folded into surface job; separate mail/mattermost mon pages + timers deprecated. **nmap** OS fingerprinting on surface (`SURFACE_NMAP`); **ERROR** when packages are behind (`TALER_PKG_BEHIND=error` default) or OS fingerprint is EOL. |
