v0.5.45

Security hardening, bandwidth savings, router card identity pills, log history

Added

• Router card identity pills (src/collectors/system.js, src/index.js, public/app.js) — each router card on the Routers page now shows up to three additional footer pills: Architecture (violet, e.g. arm64), Serial Number (amber, SN: XXXX), and License Level (emerald, L6). Architecture comes from /system/resource/print; serial and license are fetched once via /system/routerboard/print and /system/license/print respectively. CHR/virtual routers gracefully omit the serial pill when the routerboard API is unavailable. Closes issue #70
• Historical log import on connect (src/collectors/logs.js, public/app.js) — when MikroDash first connects to a router (and on every reconnect), it fetches the current RouterOS log buffer via /log/print and seeds the ring buffer before starting the /log/listen stream. The Logs page and dashboard log card now show existing entries immediately rather than waiting for new events. Ring buffer is cleared on reconnect so stale entries from a prior session are never interleaved with fresh ones. Closes issue #57

Fixed

• Wireless detection bug — Ethernet rows filtered (src/collectors/wireless.js) — on certain RouterOS builds, the wireless registration-table endpoint returns interface metadata rows (including Ethernet interfaces) alongside genuine wireless clients. The collector now filters to only rows containing at least one wireless-specific field (signal, signal-strength, rx-signal, ssid, tx-rate, rx-rate, tx-rate-set). Closes issue #54
• Router deletion leaves orphan session (src/index.js) — deleting a router via DELETE /api/routers/:id now tears down any live pool entry (cancels idle timer, calls teardownSession(), removes from _routerSessions), preventing a dangling TCP connection to the deleted router. Closes issue #48
• Duplicate Socket.IO connections on page refresh (src/index.js) — Socket.IO ping interval tightened from 25 s / 20 s to 10 s / 5 s, reducing the stale-socket detection window from ~45 s to ~15 s. A concurrent-sendInitialState() race on fetchInterfaces() is fixed by caching the in-flight Promise in session._ifacesFetch. Closes issue #51
• First-run wizard bypassed on Basic Auth migration (src/index.js) — _migrateBasicAuth() previously fell back to authMode:'none' for Basic Auth deployments with no credentials. It now falls back to authMode:'modern', triggering the first-run wizard. Closes issue #47

Changed

• HTTP Basic Authentication removed (src/auth/basicAuth.js, src/index.js, src/settings.js, public/index.html, public/app.js) — the legacy BASIC_AUTH_USER/BASIC_AUTH_PASS env-var auth layer and authMode:'basic' have been removed. The dashboard now supports two modes only: none (open, with startup warning) and modern (cookie sessions, scrypt-hashed passwords, admin/viewer roles). Existing Basic Auth deployments are migrated to modern on first start. Closes issue #46

Performance

• Reduced RouterOS API payload size (src/collectors/interfaces.js, dhcpLeases.js, dhcpNetworks.js) — three collectors now request only the fields they use via =.proplist= filtering, reducing per-poll bandwidth on busy routers. Closes issue #49

Tests

• 4 new tests covering log history seeding, wireless Ethernet-row filtering, system collector identity fields, and log _loadInitial() behaviour
• Test count raised from 233 to 237 (all passing)
