Podman fails even with chroot isolation on this runner. The environment
is too restricted for standard container tools (Docker, Buildx, Podman).
Solution: Use 'img' by Jess Frazelle, designed specifically for truly
unprivileged environments:
- No root/sudo required for builds
- No user namespaces required
- No special capabilities required
- Pure userspace implementation
- Built for restricted CI environments
This is the last resort tool for environments where Docker/Podman
cannot run at all.

Podman fails with 'cannot clone: Operation not permitted' on this runner
because it cannot create namespaces. The runner environment lacks the
capabilities for namespace-based container isolation.
Solution: Add --isolation=chroot flag to use chroot instead of namespaces.
This works in restricted environments without CAP_SYS_ADMIN or user
namespace support.
Trade-off: Chroot isolation is slower but functional on unprivileged
runners.

Kaniko doesn't provide standalone binary downloads - it's distributed as a
container image. The download URL returns 404.
Solution: Use Podman which:
- Available as standard apt package
- Runs rootless without daemon
- Works on unprivileged runners
- Docker-compatible CLI
This avoids both the Docker namespace issue and the missing Kaniko binary.

BuildKit (used by build-push-action and buildx) requires privileged mount
operations that fail on unprivileged runners with vfs storage driver.
Solution: Replace build-push-action with plain 'docker build' and 'docker push'
commands with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 to use the legacy builder.
Trade-offs:
- Works on unprivileged runners without privileged access
- Slower builds (no BuildKit caching/parallelism)
- No build attestations/provenance (already disabled)

The build-push-action was trying to use docker-container driver by default,
which requires privileged mount operations. This fails on unprivileged runners
with vfs storage driver.
Solution: Explicitly configure buildx to use 'docker' driver, which uses the
regular Docker daemon that's already running with vfs storage. This avoids
the need for privileged container mounts.
Resolves: operation not permitted during buildkit mount

Remove the setup-buildx-action step that was failing with unshare errors
when trying to create a docker-container builder.
Instead, use the default buildx that comes with dockerd and disable
attestation features (provenance and sbom) that require additional
mount operations.
This simpler approach should work within the constraints of the
unprivileged CI runner.

The docker/build-push-action@v5 requires proper BuildKit configuration

Kaniko approach doesn't work on unprivileged runners because even

Kaniko itself doesn't need Docker, but we use 'docker run' to execute

build images, so we use minimal flags (--iptables=false, --bridge=none,

Phoenix.PubSub.Redis 3.1.0 automatically appends sync_connect: true to the
redis_opts before passing to Redix.PubSub.start_link. Our configuration was
also passing sync_connect: false, creating a duplicate key that NimbleOptions
rejected with a confusing error message.
The error showed:
NimbleOptions.ValidationError: unknown options [:sync_connect],
valid options are: [..., :sync_connect, ...]
This happened because sync_connect appeared twice in the keyword list,
and NimbleOptions rejects duplicate keys.
The fix removes our sync_connect option entirely, letting phoenix_pubsub_redis
control the sync_connect behavior.
This completes the phoenix_pubsub_redis 3.1.0 migration started in cd660387.
Fixes production pod crash on startup.

The recent dependency update to phoenix_pubsub_redis 3.1.0 introduced
breaking changes in the configuration API. The new version no longer
accepts connection options at the top level - they must be nested in
:redis_opts.
Changes:
- Move Redix connection options into :redis_opts keyword list
- Keep only :node_name at top level per v3.1.0 requirements
- Maintains all resilience settings (timeouts, backoff, keepalive)
Before (invalid for v3.1.0):
[node_name: node(), host: "...", port: 6379, timeout: 5000, ...]
After (valid for v3.1.0):
[node_name: node(), redis_opts: [host: "...", port: 6379, timeout: 5000, ...]]
This fixes the production crash with error:
NimbleOptions.ValidationError: unknown options [:timeout, :backoff_initial,

The previous dependency update left mix.lock with references to the
"oban" hex repository for vendored packages (oban_pro, oban_web, oban_met).
This caused production deployment failures with error:
"Unknown repository 'oban', add new repositories with the mix hex.repo add task"
Since these packages are vendored from vendor/ directory, they should not
have hex repo references in the lock file. Removed the hex entries entirely
and regenerated the lock file with only the vendored path dependencies.

The production deployment was failing with "operation not permitted" errors
when BuildKit tried to perform bind mounts during Docker image builds.
Root cause:
- The workflow starts Docker with --storage-driver=vfs for unprivileged runners
- VFS storage driver doesn't support the advanced mount operations needed by BuildKit
- The Dockerfile uses --mount=type=cache for build performance
- Using buildx driver=docker tried to use the daemon's VFS storage directly
Solution:
- Switch to driver=docker-container which runs BuildKit in an isolated container
- This container has its own storage layer that properly supports BuildKit features
- BuildKit container uses overlay2 internally regardless of host storage driver
This is the recommended approach for CI/CD environments with storage limitations.

Fixes FunctionClauseError when DashboardLive receives {:alert_changed, org_id}
message broadcast by user_auth hooks.
The user_auth module subscribes all LiveViews to the
"organization:#{org_id}:alerts" topic and broadcasts {:alert_changed, org_id}
messages when alerts are created or resolved. DashboardLive was missing a
handle_info/2 clause to handle this message format, causing crashes in
production.
Solution:
- Added handle_info/2 clause for {:alert_changed, _org_id} message
- Uses existing debounced reload pattern to update dashboard
- Added test to verify message is handled without crashing
- Updated both technical and user-facing changelogs
All tests pass. The fix follows the same pattern used in AlertLive.Index

Replace sequential multi-GET with true batched SNMP GET support.
Previously, Client.get_multiple/2 sent N individual SNMP GET PDUs
for N OIDs. Now sends a single PDU with multiple varbinds, reducing
network round-trips by ~80% for multi-OID operations.
Implementation:
- Add get_multiple/3 callback to SnmpBehaviour
- Implement batched GET in Manager using PDU.build_get_request_multi/2
- Update Client.get_multiple/2 to use batched GET with sequential fallback
- Return map format %{oid => {type, value}} for batched results
- Convert to ordered list for backward compatibility
- Handle SNMP exceptions (noSuchObject, noSuchInstance) in result map
Testing:
- Update all test mocks to use get_multiple expectations
- Add individual get stubs for categorize_device_speed and optional fields
- 2249/2251 tests passing (99.87%)
This addresses F1 from LibreNMS feature parity analysis:
"Replace sequential multi-get with batched GET support."
Impact:
- Discovery system info (6 OIDs): 1 SNMP request instead of 6
- Storage polling (3 OIDs/entry): 1 request per entry instead of 3
