Phases 2 and 3 of plan/23-monitor.md. /api/summary adds: server online/MOTD/
version, players online with NMSR heads, registered-account count, disk free on
the world volume, backup freshness, join/leave history, and TPS.
Each tile has its own TTL cache and its own failure mode. A failed collector
keeps serving its last good value and reports the reason in a sibling *_err
field, so the page goes stale-with-a-warning rather than blank. The five
collectors refresh concurrently: sequentially, one request during an outage
would cost the sum of every timeout (~15s), and an outage is exactly when
someone is looking at this page. Measured with a dead dependency: 0.24s.
TPS needs RCON, so the monitor now holds RCON_PASSWORD. Read-only survives
because the allowlist is a compile-time constant and no HTTP input reaches a
command string — the UI cannot run commands because the server cannot be asked
to. The Source RCON client is implemented in-repo rather than added as a
dependency precisely to keep that property local and auditable.
Two things the real server corrected:
- `neoforge tps` prints "Overall: 20.000 TPS (0.357 ms/tick)", not the older
Forge "Mean tick time / Mean TPS" wording the plan assumed. main_test.go
pins the real captured output so a format change fails a test instead of
silently zeroing the tile.
- Rosters come from mc-status, which already holds the Drasl admin credentials
and exposes a sanitized list, so this container does not get a second copy.
Also fixes a phase-1 bug: the UI's level regex assumed itzg's console timestamp
([12:34:56]) but the file uses [01Aug2026 22:55:34.358], so every line was
classified INFO and the ERROR/WARN chips did nothing. It now matches on shape.
The container runs as root deliberately — /data is drwxr-x--- owned by uid 1000,
so a non-root user cannot traverse it and the tailer would silently read
nothing. The :ro mounts and absent port are what bound the damage.
