basicauth (2026-08-22 incident):
- the Caddyfile template carried its own $2a$14$ prefix and deploy.sh
substituted the full hash (prefix included), rendering an invalid
double-prefixed hash. Every basicauth vhost rejected every password
with 401 and Caddy logged nothing.
- template is now a bare REPLACE_WITH_HASH token; tests pin the render
contract (no prefix in template; rendered line is exactly 'dank <hash>').
open-webui (2026-08-22 incident):
- its slirp4netns helper process died, leaving the container running
with only 'lo' in its netns: port 3005 accepted TCP and reset every
request, so chat served empty responses for ~2 days, unlogged.
- move to a pinned bridge network (systemd-open-webui, 10.89.3.0/24,
gw 10.89.3.1) — no per-container helper to die.
- LLM endpoint reached via the gateway (host.containers.internal is
slirp-only): OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=http://10.89.3.1:52625.
- add a quadlet healthcheck: /health (app) + non-loopback interface
(network liveness; the dead-tap state leaves only 'lo').
- deploy script now copies the .network file too.
- docs updated (OpenWebUI History section, Caddy basic-auth contract).
