+"""Sprint 14: per-disk temperature history.
+
+Mirrors the CPU ``temperature_history`` infrastructure in flask_server,
+but keyed by disk name so each physical drive gets its own time series.
+Same SQLite DB (``/usr/local/share/proxmenux/monitor.db``), same 30-day
+retention, same downsampling buckets the CPU history endpoint uses
+(hour=raw / day=5min / week=30min / month=2h).
+
+The sampler is a single function meant to be called once per minute
+from flask_server's existing ``_temperature_collector_loop``, so we
+don't add another background thread.
+
+Performance — three caches keep the steady-state cost flat on big JBODs:
+
+  * ``_disk_list_cache``    — lsblk + USB filter, refreshed every 5 min.
+  * ``_disk_probe_cache``   — remembers which ``smartctl -d <type>``
+                              variant works for each disk so we skip
+                              the 4-attempt fallback chain.
+  * ``_disk_fail_backoff``  — drives that never report a temperature
+                              are rate-limited to one re-probe per hour
+                              instead of every minute.
+
+The actual smartctl calls run in a ThreadPoolExecutor, so a 24-disk host
+spends ~max(per-disk time) per sample instead of sum.

+"""User-configurable Health Monitor thresholds.
+
+Until now every threshold the Health Monitor (and the notification stack
+that hangs off it) compares against was a hardcoded constant in
+``health_monitor.py`` and a few helper modules. Operators repeatedly
+asked for the ability to tune them per host — for example, a small
+homelab user is fine with the rootfs filling to 92 % before being
+nagged, while a production node owner wants the alert at 80 %.
+
+This module is the single source of truth for those thresholds. The
+JSON file at ``/usr/local/share/proxmenux/health_thresholds.json``
+holds only the *overrides* the user has made; anything missing falls
+back to the recommended default below. That keeps forward compatibility
+trivial: new thresholds added in a later version are absent from older
+JSON files and just resolve to their recommended value.
+
+Public surface:
+
+    DEFAULTS          — nested dict of recommended values + per-field metadata
+    get(section, key) — read effective value (override or default)
+    load()            — return the user-configured overrides (no defaults applied)
+    load_effective()  — return a fully-merged config (defaults + overrides)
+    save(payload)     — validate & persist a partial or full config
+    reset_section(s)  — clear all overrides for one section
+    reset_all()       — wipe every override
+    invalidate_cache()— force the next ``get`` to re-read from disk
+
+Every public function is safe to call from request handlers and from
+the background health collector concurrently. A 5-second in-memory
+cache avoids disk reads on the hot path; the cache is invalidated on
+save/reset.

+"""Sprint 13.29: per-LXC mount points enumeration.
+
+The Mount Points tab in the LXC modal calls
+``GET /api/lxc/<vmid>/mount-points`` which delegates here. We parse the
+container config (``/etc/pve/lxc/<vmid>.conf``) for ``mpX:`` entries —
+the rootfs is intentionally excluded (the user asked for *user-added*
+mounts, not the container's own disk).
+
+Each ``mpX:`` is classified into one of three types based on the source
+syntax:
+
+  * ``pve_volume`` — ``storage_id:vol-id`` (block device assigned from a
+    PVE storage; appears as a separate volume, not a path)
+  * ``pve_storage_bind`` — absolute path under ``/mnt/pve/<storage>``
+    that resolves to a registered PVE storage (typical NFS/CIFS share
+    bound into the container)
+  * ``host_bind`` — any other absolute path on the host
+
+For each entry we resolve the source-side capacity (so the value is
+available even when the LXC is stopped) and, when the LXC is running,
+enrich with runtime fields read from ``/proc/<pid>/mounts``: the
+filesystem actually mounted on the target, mount options, and a
+stale-detection stat with timeout.
+
+Ad-hoc mounts done inside the container (NFS/CIFS mounted from inside
+the CT, not via ``mpX:``) are listed alongside the configured ones with
+a ``ad_hoc`` type so the user sees the complete picture.

+"""Sprint 13: detect remote mount issues that PVE storage monitoring misses.
+
+Parses ``/proc/mounts`` filtering NFS/CIFS/SMB entries, then for each
+one runs a timeout-bounded ``stat`` to catch stale handles. Stale NFS
+is the typical failure mode that broke a user's LXC: the mount looks
+present in ``/proc/mounts`` but any access either blocks indefinitely
+or returns ``ESTALE``. Meanwhile any app in the LXC that keeps writing
+to that path appends to the underlying directory on the local
+filesystem (because the mount is effectively gone), which silently
+fills up the LXC's root disk and eventually kills the container.
+
+This module sits next to ``proxmox_storage_monitor.py`` (which only
+covers PVE-registered storages) and complements it for arbitrary
+remote mounts done outside PVE (e.g. ``/etc/fstab`` entries, ad-hoc
+``mount -t cifs``, etc.).
+
+Scope for Sprint 13:
+- Host-only. Mounts done inside running LXCs are out of scope —
+  reaching them needs ``pct exec`` per container which is slow and
+  can hang on a corrupted guest. That's tracked as a follow-up.
+- Detects: stale (timeout/ESTALE), unexpected read-only, plain
+  reachable.

+    Discord / Email channels), so installs that already have a working
+    native channel don't need to migrate — Apprise is opt-in for users
+    who want to reach a service we don't support natively.

+"""Sprint 12A: Detect ProxMenux post-install function updates.
+
+Parses /usr/local/share/proxmenux/scripts/post_install/{auto,customizable}_post_install.sh,
+extracting the ``# version: X.Y`` and ``# description: ...`` comments
+declared inside each top-level function. Compares the parsed versions
+against the per-tool entries in ``installed_tools.json`` and returns the
+list of tools where the on-disk script has bumped past what the user
+installed.
+
+The detection runs once at AppImage startup, before the rest of the
+update-check pipeline kicks in, and the result is cached in memory and
+persisted to ``updates_available.json`` so the bash menu and the
+notification poller can read it without re-parsing.
+
+Backward compatibility: ``installed_tools.json`` was originally a flat
+dict of ``{key: bool}``. Sprint 12A adds the structured
+``{key: {installed, version, source}}`` shape. Legacy booleans are read
+as installed (true) at version ``1.0`` with source unknown. Unknown
+source means the detector still flags an available update, but the UI
+falls back to asking the user which flow (auto vs custom) to run.

+Este documento es la hoja de ruta para llevar ProxMenux y
+ProxMenux Monitor a un estado **listo para producción**. Está basado
+en las dos infografías que un colaborador preparó y enriquecido con
+una auditoría real del código actual.
+
+## 🖼️ Infografías de origen
+
+Las dos infografías son obra de
+**[@pitiriguisvi](https://github.com/pitiriguisvi)** y resumen
+visualmente las dos grandes áreas de trabajo — gracias por dedicarle
+el tiempo:

+
+## 🎯 Visión
+
+> *"La prioridad no es añadir más métricas ni más scripts, sino mejorar
+> seguridad, alertas, permisos, auditabilidad e integración real con
+> Proxmox."*
+
+ProxMenux ya es una herramienta para gestionar los nodos. El siguiente salto es convertirlo en una
+herramienta **apta para entornos de producción y para clientes**:
+
+* El operador tiene que poder dar **acceso de solo lectura** a
+  terceros sin miedo a que toquen nada.
+* Tiene que existir un **historial auditable** de qué pasó y quién
+  lo hizo.
+* Los cambios destructivos tienen que poder **previsualizarse y
+  revertirse**.
+* La instalación tiene que poder operarse en **modo conservador**
+  cuando el nodo no es un laboratorio.
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Estado actual
+
+### ProxMenux Monitor (Dashboard)
+
+#### 1️⃣ Modo solo lectura
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Separar monitorizar de controlar | 🔴 | El dashboard mezcla ambos hoy |
+| Dashboard 100 % read-only | 🟡 | El scope `read_only` existe en los API tokens, falta exponerlo al usuario web |
+| Sin acciones de start/stop por defecto | 🔴 | Requiere lo anterior |
+| Ideal para clientes y producción | 🔴 | Llega cuando el modo solo lectura esté completo |
+
+#### 2️⃣ Permisos y tokens
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Roles viewer / operator / admin | 🔴 | Single-user hoy |
+| Tokens con scopes | 🟡 | 2 scopes (`read_only`, `full_admin`), no granulares |

+| Rate limits y bloqueo anti-fuerza bruta | 🟡 | Hay cooldown en login; no es un panel configurable. Fail2Ban es opcional |
+
+#### 4️⃣ Logs y auditoría
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Registrar login, logout e intentos fallidos | 🟡 | Se notifica `auth_fail`; no hay panel histórico |
+| Guardar IP, usuario y token usado | 🟡 | Llega a notificación, no se persiste para auditar |
+| Auditar accesos sobre VM/LXC | 🔴 | Las acciones de control no se registran |
+| Historial claro con resultado y error | 🔴 | No hay pestaña "Audit" |
+
+#### 5️⃣ Alertas útiles
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| CPU, RAM, disco y temperatura altos | 🟢 | Health Monitor + thresholds configurables |
+| Snapshot / backup confirmado | 🟢 | Eventos `vzdump_complete` |
+| SMART warnings y predicción | 🟢 | `disk_failure_predicted` + tiers de `disk_io_error` (1.2.1.2) |
+| Telegram, Gotify, ntfy, email, webhook | 🟢 | 7 canales activos |
+
+#### 6️⃣ PBS y cluster
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Último backup por VM/LXC | 🔴 | No se muestra en ningún sitio; tampoco hay integración con PBS para listar/consultar backups |
+| VMs sin backup y jobs fallidos | 🟡 | Detección **pasiva** de líneas `vzdump .* finished` en syslog (notificación), pero **no hay vista** de "VMs sin job de backup" ni integración con la API de jobs de PVE |
+| Quorum, nodos, estado global | 🟡 | Detección **pasiva** de `quorum lost` / `split brain` en syslog. **No hay** panel de cluster ni consulta activa a la API (`pvecm status`, `/cluster/status`) |
+| Dashboard de salud del entorno | 🔴 | El Health tab es del **nodo local**. No existe vista multi-nodo del cluster |
+
+---
+
+### ProxMenux (Scripts y Post-install)
+
+#### 1️⃣ Seguridad operativa
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Dry-run / previsualización antes de aplicar | 🔴 | No existe como flag general |
+| Avisos delante de cambios críticos | 🟡 | Algunos diálogos, no uniforme |
+| Verificación posterior de la acción | 🟡 | `update_component_status` registra el resultado |
+| Confirmación reforzada en tareas sensibles | 🟡 | Hay `whiptail --yesno` en algunos scripts; no es regla |
+
+#### 2️⃣ Rollback y recuperación

+|---|---|---|
+| Listas, hashes y firma | 🔴 | Se ejecutan sin verificación |
+| Fijar versión / commit / hash | 🔴 | Helper-scripts traídos en vivo del upstream |
+| Etiquetar nivel de riesgo | 🟡 | El menú nuevo añadió "richer context"; falta etiqueta formal |
+| Mostrar script antes de ejecutarlo | 🔴 | Sin paso de preview |
+
+#### 4️⃣ Logs y trazabilidad
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Registrar acción, usuario y fecha | 🟡 | Logs en `/var/log/proxmenux/`, no estructurados |
+| Guardar comandos y archivos modificados | 🔴 | No hay tracking de qué tocó cada script |
+| Errores claros con código de salida | 🟡 | Algunos scripts sí; no es regla |
+| Historial de cambios reciente | 🔴 | No hay UI "qué hizo ProxMenux en este host" |
+
+#### 5️⃣ Modo producción
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Perfil conservador para todo el nodo | 🔴 | El concepto no existe |
+| Bloquear acciones destructivas por defecto | 🔴 | Tampoco |
+| Limitar cambios de red sin confirmación | 🟡 | Algunos scripts piden confirmación |
+| Más validaciones y avisos | 🟡 | Mejoras incrementales, no como modo |
+
+#### 6️⃣ Entornos reales
+| Item | Estado | Notas |
+|---|---|---|
+| Salida tipo "esto pasó" clara y multilingüe | 🟡 | `translate()` + `msg_*` funcionan; falta resumen final |
+| Visibilidad de quorum / almacenamiento | 🔴 | El Monitor lo muestra, pero los **scripts** no inspeccionan ni reportan el estado de quorum/almacenamiento antes de actuar |
+| Postinstall Proxmox Backup Server | 🔴 | No existe un script de instalación/configuración de PBS (sí existe el `Proxmox_Backup_Client.AppImage` que es el cliente, no el servidor) |

+
+This document is our roadmap to bring ProxMenux and ProxMenux Monitor
+to a **production-ready** state. It is based on the two infographics
+a community member prepared, enriched with a real audit of the
+current codebase.
+
+## 🖼️ Source infographics
+
+The two infographics that seeded this roadmap are the work of
+**[@pitiriguisvi](https://github.com/pitiriguisvi)** and summarise
+the two main areas of work visually — thank you for the time and
+for giving us such a clear starting point:
+
+| ProxMenux Monitor (Dashboard) | ProxMenux (Scripts) |
+|---|---|
+| <img src="images/proxmenux_phases_1.png" alt="ProxMenux Monitor phases" width="380"/> | <img src="images/proxmenux_phases_2.png" alt="ProxMenux phases" width="380"/> |

+
+**How we use this document:**
+
+* The **Current state** table reflects what we already have today.
+* The **Plan by version** marks what goes into each release.
+* The **Shipped changes** section gets filled in as we close items,
+  with the version they shipped in.
+
+Symbols:
+
+* 🟢 — Done and in production
+* 🟡 — Partial (foundation exists, UI or full feature missing)

+
+## 🎯 Vision
+
+> *"The priority is not to add more metrics or more scripts, but to
+> improve security, alerting, permissions, auditability and real
+> integration with Proxmox."*
+
+ProxMenux is already a powerful tool for sysadmins running their own
+node. The next leap is making it a tool **fit for production
+environments and customers**:
+
+* The operator must be able to give **read-only access** to third
+  parties without worrying that they will touch anything.
+* There must be an **auditable history** of what happened and who
+  did it.
+* Destructive changes must be **previewable and revertible**.
+* The install must be operable in **conservative mode** when the
+  node is not a lab.
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Current state
+
+### ProxMenux Monitor (Dashboard)
+
+#### 1️⃣ Read-only mode
+| Item | Status | Notes |

+|---|---|---|
+| Dry-run / preview before applying | 🔴 | No general flag |
+| Warnings before critical changes | 🟡 | Some dialogs, not uniform |
+| Post-action verification | 🟡 | `update_component_status` records the result |

+
+#### 5️⃣ Production mode
+| Item | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Conservative profile for the whole node | 🔴 | Concept does not exist |
+| Block destructive actions by default | 🔴 | Same |
+| Limit network changes without confirmation | 🟡 | Some scripts ask for confirmation |
+| More validations and warnings | 🟡 | Incremental improvements, not as a mode |
+
+#### 6️⃣ Real environments
+| Item | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Clear, multilingual "this happened" output | 🟡 | `translate()` + `msg_*` work; final summary missing |
+| Quorum / storage visibility | 🔴 | The Monitor shows it, but the **scripts** don't inspect or report quorum/storage state before acting |
+| Proxmox Backup Server post-install | 🔴 | No PBS install/configuration script (the `Proxmox_Backup_Client.AppImage` is the client, not the server) |
+| Fast failure detector for scenarios | 🟡 | Health Monitor; no "preflight" before each change |
+

+
+## 🗺️ Plan by version
+
+> Items are grouped by **value / effort** ratio, not strict order.
+> The plan can be reordered based on feedback from the group's
+> testers.
+
+### v1.2.2-beta — *Cheap and high-impact*
+
+Goal: close the gaps that already have a foundation in code and
+deliver visible security gains without touching architecture.
+
+* [ ] **Read-only mode for the web user.** Bind the existing JWT
+      `read_only` scope to the interactive session. The UI hides
+      action buttons (start/stop, run scripts, terminal) when the
+      scope is not `full_admin`.
+* [ ] **Audit log table + dashboard tab.** New SQLite table
+      `audit_log(ts, user, ip, action, target, result, error)`.
+      Hook into `flask_security_routes` and `flask_script_runner`.
+      Render as a simple "Audit" tab.
+* [ ] **IP allowlist.** New field in `Settings → Security →
+      "Limit access to these IPs"`. `@require_allowed_ip` decorator
+      applied to all blueprints.
+* [ ] **Configurable API-token expiry.** `expires_at` field on the
+      token metadata; honour it in `verify_token`.
+
+### v1.2.3-beta — *Medium effort*
+
+Goal: provide serious operational tools before applying changes.
+
+* [ ] **Granular token scopes.** Minimum four: `read_only`,
+      `vm_control`, `script_runner`, `full_admin`. The frontend
+      shows which scopes the current token has.
+* [ ] **Dry-run for post-install scripts.** `--dry-run` flag
+      supported across all `scripts/post_install/` scripts. Output
+      shows exactly what would change without touching the host.
+* [ ] **Diagnostic bundle (`proxmenux bug-report`).** Tar.gz of
+      `/var/log/proxmenux/`, `journalctl -u proxmenux-monitor`,
+      `dmesg --since=24h`, `dpkg -l | grep -i proxmenux`,
+      `managed_installs.json` and the `errors` / `disk_observations`
+      tables. Tokens and secrets obfuscated in the output.
+* [ ] **Aggregated "VMs with no backup" view.** New card in the
+      Backups tab listing every VM/CT without a recent backup job,
+      with direct shortcuts to PBS.
+
+### v1.3.0 — *Major scope*
+
+Goal: the leap to production. Requires a major release due to data
+model and UX changes.
+
+* [ ] **RBAC with viewer / operator / admin roles.** Multi-user,
+      per-user password, per-session role. Migration from
+      `auth.json` to a `users(id, username, password_hash, role,
+      created_at, last_login)` table. Review every blueprint to map
+      endpoints → minimum role.
+* [ ] **Production mode.** Global flag in `/etc/proxmenux/profile`
+      that toggles:
+  * Reinforced confirmations
+  * More aggressive anti-cascade
+  * Destructive actions hidden or disabled
+  * IP allowlist forced non-empty
+  * `full_admin` tokens disabled in favour of `vm_control` + ack
+* [ ] **Granular rollback per subsystem.** Building on the existing
+      `backup_restore` infra, allow reverting only "Network", only
+      "Post-install", only "Groups and permissions", etc.
+* [ ] **Change history visible in the Monitor.** "Changes" tab
+      listing every modification ProxMenux made on the host
+      (file, before / after, responsible script).
+
+### Probably out of scope
+
+* **Cryptographic signing of upstream scripts.** Depends on the
+  community-scripts pipeline (we don't control it). Maintaining our
+  own signed mirror would be high effort for limited benefit.
+  Closed unless an external decision changes it.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Shipped changes
+
+> This section is updated with every release. Without touching the
+> plan above: here we note which items moved from pending (🔴 / 🟡)
+> to done (🟢) and in which version.

+
+## 💬 How to contribute
+
+Anyone in the group can:
+
+* Comment on the item they consider a priority or notice missing.
+* Propose a new item using the table format
+  (category + description + why it matters).
+* Suggest moving items between versions if the ordering doesn't
+  match their real use.
+
+The roadmap is alive and gets reordered. The only rule is:
+**items only change state 🔴/🟡 → 🟢 when there is code backing them
+in a published release**.

+#  - Switch Mode: detects GPU bound to vfio-pci (VM) and

+#  - Automatic dev-node enumeration (DRI, KFD, NVIDIA)
+#  - GID alignment (video / render) between host and CT
+#  - Distro-aware driver install inside the container
+#    (Alpine / Arch / Debian-Ubuntu / NVIDIA .run fallback)
+#  - NVIDIA userspace version matched to host driver
+#  - Container memory bump during NVIDIA install (restored)

-#
-#   • Coral M.2 / Mini-PCIe (vendor 1ac1 on PCIe)
-#       → build and install `gasket` + `apex` kernel modules via DKMS
-#         (feranick/gasket-driver fork; google as fallback with patches)
-#       → create apex group + udev rules
-#       → reboot required to load the fresh kernel module
-#
-#   • Coral USB Accelerator (USB IDs 1a6e:089a / 18d1:9302)
-#       → add the Google Coral APT repository (signed-by keyring)
-#       → install libedgetpu1-std (Edge TPU runtime)
-#       → udev rules come with the package
-#       → no reboot required
-#
-#   • Both present → both paths are run in sequence
-#   • Neither present → informative dialog and clean exit
-#
-# The script is idempotent: reruns on already-configured hosts skip work
-# that is already done and recover from broken gasket-dkms package state
-# (typical after a kernel upgrade on PVE 9).
+# Features:

 # Copyright   : (c) 2024 MacRimi
-# License     : (GPL-3.0) (https://github.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux/blob/main/LICENSE)

+# License     : GPL-3.0
+# Version     : 1.5
+# Last Updated: 27/05/2026
 # ==========================================================
 # Description:
-# This script automates the configuration and installation of
-# Coral TPU and iGPU support in Proxmox VE containers. It:
-# - Configures a selected LXC container for hardware acceleration
-# - Installs and sets up Coral TPU drivers on the Proxmox host
-# - Installs necessary drivers inside the container
-# - Manages required system and container restarts
+# Configures and installs Coral TPU passthrough (USB and
+# M.2 / PCIe) in a Proxmox LXC container. Writes the needed
+# dev / cgroup / mount entries into the LXC config, then
+# boots the container and installs the Edge TPU runtime
+# inside it so apps like Frigate can actually use the TPU.
 #
-# Supports Coral USB and Coral M.2 (PCIe) devices.
-# Includes USB passthrough enhancement using persistent udev alias (/dev/coral).
+# Scope:
+#  - This script is TPU-only. GPU / iGPU passthrough (Intel
+#    Quick Sync, AMD VA-API, NVIDIA) is delegated to
+#    add_gpu_lxc.sh — the script suggests running it first
+#    when a host GPU is detected but the container has no
+#    GPU configured.
 #
-# Changelog v1.3:
-# - Fixed Coral USB passthrough: mount /dev/bus/usb instead of /dev/coral symlink
-#   The udev symlink /dev/coral is not passthrough-safe in LXC; mounting the full
-#   USB bus tree ensures the real device node is accessible inside the container
-#   regardless of which port the Coral USB is connected to.
-#
-# Changelog v1.2:
-# - Fixed symlink detection for /dev/coral (create=dir for symlinks)
-# - Fixed /dev/apex_0 not being mounted in PVE 9 (device existence not required)
-# - Fixed grep patterns to avoid matching commented lines
-# - Improved device type inference for non-existent devices
-# - Added duplicate entry cleanup
-# - Better error handling and logging
+# Features:
+#  - Container picker via `dialog` (matches add_gpu_lxc.sh)
+#  - Coral USB passthrough only when a Coral USB device is
+#    actually present on the host (avoids leaving orphan
+#    cgroup/mount entries when only M.2 is used)
+#  - Auto-detects M.2 via lspci (Global Unichip)
+#  - USB passthrough mounts /dev/bus/usb (not the dynamic
+#    /dev/coral symlink) so the CT sees the real node even
+#    if the user replugs the device
+#  - PCIe/M.2 uses the PVE dev API (devN: /dev/apex_0,gid=apex)
+#    which handles cgroup2 permissions automatically for
+#    privileged and unprivileged containers
+#  - Migrates legacy Coral entries (old cgroup2 + bind mount
+#    pairs) to the PVE dev API on every run
+#  - Inside container: adds Google Coral APT repo and
+#    installs libedgetpu1-std (default) or -max (optional)
+#  - Idempotent: duplicate entries in the LXC config are
+#    cleaned up on every run

+# Description:
+# Installs and manages the NVIDIA proprietary driver on a
+# Proxmox VE host. Detects hardware, picks a kernel-compatible
+# driver version and handles the full lifecycle
+# (install / update / remove).
+#
+# Features:
+#  - GPU detection + VFIO passthrough safety check
+#  - Kernel-aware driver version filter (5.15 → 6.17+)
+#  - Nouveau blacklist + module unload
+#  - DKMS-backed install (survives kernel upgrades)
+#  - udev rules + nvidia-persistenced service
+#  - Optional keylase/nvidia-patch (NVENC session limit)
+#  - LXC container driver propagation (Alpine/Arch/Debian)
+#  - Complete uninstall path
+# ==========================================================

 # Version     : 1.0
 # Last Updated: 05/04/2026
 # ==========================================================
+# Description:
+# Moves an already-assigned GPU between the two modes it can
+# live in on a Proxmox host:
+#   - VM mode  (bound to vfio-pci, exclusive to one VM)
+#   - LXC mode (bound to the native driver, shared with CTs)
+#
+# Detects the current mode of each selected GPU and applies
+# the host-side changes needed to switch (vfio.conf,
+# blacklist.conf, /etc/modules, initramfs). Also handles the
+# VM/LXC side so the switch doesn't leave dangling config
+# pointing at a GPU the workload can no longer access.
+#
+# Features:
+#  - Multi-GPU selection (uniform current mode enforced)
+#  - SR-IOV guard (blocks VF / active-PF passthrough)
+#  - Blocked-ID policy list (e.g. Intel Arc A770)
+#  - IOMMU-group aware ID collection (sweeps siblings)
+#  - Conflict policy per affected VM/LXC
+#    (keep + disable onboot  OR  remove from config)
+#  - Orphan audio cascade: when a GPU leaves a VM, offer
+#    to remove companion audio hostpci entries and clean
+#    vfio.conf if no other VM still uses those IDs
+#  - Precise BDF regex for hostpci removal
+#    (no substring collision between unrelated GPUs)
+#  - NVIDIA stack sanitize/restore (udev, module-load,
+#    hard-blacklist) depending on target mode
+#  - Rebuilds initramfs only if host config actually changed
+#  - Reboot prompt at the end
+# ==========================================================

 # Description:
-# This script is part of the central ProxMenux VM creation module. It allows users
-# to create virtual machines (VMs) in Proxmox VE using either default or advanced
-# configurations, streamlining the deployment of Linux, Windows, and other systems.
+# Central VM creation dispatcher for ProxMenux. Presents the user
+# with OS-family options (NAS, Windows, Linux, macOS, Others) and
+# routes to the matching ISO selector and configuration wizard.
 #
-# Key features:
-# - Supports virtual disks, import disks, and Controller + NVMe passthrough.
-# - Automates CPU, RAM, BIOS, network and storage configuration.
-# - Provides a user-friendly menu to select OS type, ISO image and disk interface.
-# - Automatically generates a detailed and styled HTML description for each VM.
-#
-# All operations are designed to simplify and accelerate VM creation in a 
-# consistent and maintainable way, using ProxMenux standards.
+# Features:
+# - Dispatches to ISO selectors: NAS / Windows / Linux / Others.
+# - Default vs Advanced flows: CPU, RAM, BIOS, network, storage.
+# - Virtual disks, disk import, and Controller+NVMe passthrough.
+# - Optional GPU passthrough wizard post-creation.
+# - Auto-generates a styled HTML description for each VM.
+# - macOS path is external: launches the OSX-PROXMOX installer.

 # Description:
-# This script provides a simple and efficient way to access and execute Proxmox VE scripts
-# from the Community Scripts project (https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/).
+# Front-end for the community-scripts/ProxmoxVE catalog
+# (https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/) —
+# the spiritual continuation of tteck's helper scripts.
 #
-# It serves as a convenient tool to run key automation scripts that simplify system management,
-# continuing the great work and legacy of tteck in making Proxmox VE more accessible.
-# A streamlined solution for executing must-have tools in Proxmox VE.
+# Loads a curated JSON cache (helpers_cache.json) maintained
+# by ProxMenux on GitHub, lists categories + scripts with
+# search and type filters, and executes the chosen script
+# via "bash <(curl -s <url>)".
+#
+# Features:
+# - Browse scripts by category (Container, OS, Network, …).
+# - Free-text search across name and description.
+# - Per-script details: description, notes, default credentials,
+#   default port, website.
+# - Choice of source (GitHub or Mirror) per script.
+# - Type labels: LXC / VM / PVE / ADDON / TK / GEN.
+#
+# Requires: curl, jq, dialog. Internet access mandatory.

-# Advanced network management and troubleshooting tool for Proxmox VE.

+# Network management and troubleshooting tool for Proxmox VE.
+# Operates exclusively on the classic Debian/Proxmox network stack
+# (/etc/network/interfaces). Aborts safely on netplan / systemd-networkd
+# / NetworkManager hosts to avoid corrupting unsupported configurations.
+#
+# Features:
+#   - Read-only diagnostics: routing table, connectivity tests, advanced
+#     network statistics, bridge and interface configuration analysis.
+#   - Real-time monitoring launchers (iftop, iptraf-ng).
+#   - Guided repair flows for invalid bridge ports and orphaned interface
+#     configurations, with mandatory backup and step-by-step preview.
+#   - Persistent network interface naming via systemd .link files
+#     (MAC-based, survives hardware changes and PCI re-enumeration).
+#   - Manual backup / restore of /etc/network/interfaces under
+#     /var/backups/proxmenux/.
+#   - Network service restart with confirmation.
+#   - Curated community scripts (e.g., NIC offloading fix for Intel e1000e).
+#
+# Acknowledgements:
+# Persistent network naming function originally contributed by
+# @Andres_Eduardo_Rojas_Moya.
