* Hotspot captive portal: welcome page with the WROLPi's address
Devices that join the hotspot probe a fixed plain-HTTP URL to check for
Internet access. NetworkManager's shared-mode dnsmasq now resolves those
probe hostnames (and `wrolpi`) to the hotspot address via an include the
Controller writes when the hotspot starts, the probes land on the Controller
(port 80), and are redirected to /portal: "This is your WROLPi, its address is
10.42.0.1, open WROLPi / open the Controller".
Only the probe hostnames are hijacked so the hotspot keeps forwarding
everything else when the WROLPi has an uplink. The include is corrected and
the connection re-activated once if NetworkManager picked a non-default
subnet. Writing the include is best-effort; the hotspot starts regardless.
`hotspot.captive_portal` (controller.yaml, default true) toggles the probe
redirects and the include; like the other hotspot settings it applies on the
next hotspot start, so saving while the hotspot is up reports
restart_required and both Controller UIs say so. The status endpoint gains
the hotspot address and portal URL, shown in both UIs. repair.sh only
creates the include directory so a disabled setting survives upgrades.
Native only: Docker has no hotspot.

* captive portal: address review
* React: re-read the hotspot address whenever the HotspotToggle starts or
stops the hotspot, matching the fallback UI's refresh-on-status.
* A WPA3 start that reverts to WPA2 leaves the hotspot up, so it now gets
the captive portal address correction too.
* The corrective `nmcli connection up` logs a warning on a non-zero exit;
dnsmasq would otherwise keep the old address silently.
* HotspotStatusResponse.captive_portal defaults to true like everywhere else.
* Trim design narrative from the module docstring and React comments.
* The include-before-activate test now observes the include at the moment
of the `nmcli ... hotspot` call instead of inferring from call order.

* captive portal: never forward any record type for probe hosts
`address=` only synthesizes A/AAAA answers. iOS also asks for the HTTPS
record type; dnsmasq forwarded that upstream, Apple's answer aliased to
captive.g.aaplimg.com, and the phone fetched the genuine "Success" from
Apple instead of the portal. Each probe host now also gets `local=`, so
dnsmasq answers every type itself, and the CDN alias is a probe host too.
Observed with dnsmasq query logging on a hotspot with an eth0 uplink.

* captive portal: let acknowledged clients finish so the OS offers "Done"
A phone's sign-in sheet only shows "Done" once the OS re-probes and gets
the genuine success reply. The Controller now remembers each client (by
hotspot IP) that has loaded the portal page and answers its later probes
with the reply each OS expects (Apple "Success" HTML, Android 204, Windows
"Microsoft Connect Test", ...). The set is cleared when the hotspot
starts so a new session shows the page again.

* captive portal: acknowledge on Continue, not on view
iOS fetches the portal page in the background before opening the sheet,
then re-probes after the sheet's own navigation. Acknowledging on view
made that re-probe return "Success" as the sheet's content. Phones only
re-check the network (and offer "Done") after a full-page navigation, so
the welcome page now has a Continue button leading to /portal/continue,
which is the only place a client is acknowledged. The Continue page says
to tap Done and links to WROLPi and the Controller.
Also hijack clients3.google.com (older Android probe host).

* help: bump wrolpi-help to the captive portal and Speed Test docs

* captive portal: comments describe the Continue design; clear acks on stop
Three comments still described acknowledging on view, which c72a7f7b
removed. Acknowledged clients are now also cleared when the hotspot
stops, so a lease reused in a later session sees the portal page.

The database now lives at <media>/config/wrolpi.db so a library (files,
configs, AND database) travels with the drive between WROLPi systems.
Core:
- wrolpi/db.py: lazy SQLite engine factory (WAL, busy_timeout=30s,
foreign_keys=ON); get_db_curs yields a plain sqlite3.Cursor; native
sqlite3 paramstyle everywhere (no compatibility shims); global sqlite3
adapters keep raw-SQL datetime formats identical to the ORM's.
- wrolpi/fts.py: FTS5 external-content search replacing tsvector/GIN.
Injection-proof websearch->FTS5 translator, bm25(10,4,2,1) reproducing
A/B/C/D weighting, fast(abc)/deep column filtering, snippet headlines.
Stemming contract pinned by dedicated tests (watch/watches/watched/
watching are interchangeable).
- wrolpi/schema_ddl.py: SQLite triggers shared verbatim by the alembic
baseline and test DBs; fixes the channel video_count DELETE/UPDATE
bugs and a latent total_size bug (it used the video id as channel id).
- wrolpi/db_bootstrap.py: startup auto-create/migrate; refuses databases
written by a newer WROLPi (db_version_mismatch); SQLite 3.40 floor;
network-filesystem refusal; never creates/migrates/trusts a database
beneath an unmounted production media directory (shadow-DB guard).
- Alembic: 85 Postgres-era migrations squashed into one baseline;
revision ids are dates (2026_07_10_1350) so filenames self-sort and
alembic_version says when a schema was created; render_as_batch=True.
- All raw Postgres SQL rewritten (ANY->json_each IN, array_agg @> ->
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT), unnest->executemany/UPDATE..FROM,
generate_series histograms->strftime GROUP BY, DISTINCT ON->
row_number(), writable CTEs->two statements, jsonb_*->json_*, explicit
NULLS FIRST/LAST, LIMIT-before-OFFSET). Simple statements converted
to SQLAlchemy instead (flag upsert, download retry/summary/tag checks,
channel-by-tag estimate, Directory delete).
- Config imports count skipped entries; background dumps are blocked
after a lossy import so partial imports can never overwrite YAML
configs (they are the sole source of truth for rebuilds now).
- Search tolerates explicit JSON nulls for limit/offset (Postgres
treated OFFSET NULL as 0; SQLite errors).
- file_group.id/doc_section.id render as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY on SQLite
(BIGINT is not a rowid alias; FTS5 content_rowid requires it).
Ops teardown: docker-compose db service, CI postgres sidecars,
initialize_api_db.sh, controller postgresql service, psycopg2-binary all
removed. upgrade.sh stops/disables postgresql (data is NOT deleted;
`systemctl enable --now postgresql` restores it); systemd units no
longer Want postgresql.service.
Existing-user upgrade: first boot creates+migrates the DB, configs
import (tags recreate their FileGroups from disk), a refresh rebuilds
the library index. QA'd on the 10.0.0.8 RPi: rebuild matched the
Postgres baseline exactly; survived an uncontrolled hard reboot with
clean integrity checks.
Accepted behavior changes: FTS5 has no stopwords; bm25 length
normalization shifts some rank orders; fast-path d_headline is
un-highlighted; all-negative queries match nothing.
Deferred: Debian/trixie package lists (incl. sqlite3 CLI), Cypress
re-baseline, VACUUM INTO snapshots, exFAT/NTFS warning, auto-kicked
rebuild refresh with progress UX.

- Replace nginx with Caddy as the web server for both Docker and native
(RPi/Debian) deployments. Caddy handles HTTPS termination, reverse
proxying to all services (API, React app, Controller, Kiwix, Help, Map),
and serves the media/download file browsers.
- Generate a Root CA and signed leaf certificates for HTTPS. The Root CA
uses Name Constraints to restrict signing to local addresses only
(.local, localhost, and RFC 1918 private IP ranges), mitigating MITM
risk if the CA key is compromised.
- Add an HTTP landing page that guides users through one-time CA
certificate installation on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and
Firefox, with auto-redirect when the cert is already trusted.
- Add trailing-slash redirects for /controller, /docs, /media, and
/download so bare paths don't fall through to the React catch-all.
- Add a Root CA download link on the Settings page under Configs.
- Update help.sh diagnostics for IPv6 listener detection and HTTP/2
status codes.
- Remove all nginx config files and the https_proxy Docker container.
- Bump wrolpi-help submodule with certificate documentation.
