v0.1.2: Config Checkpoints dialog, descriptions, daily auto-snapshot, docs (#3)
* Documentation: install/upgrade/uninstall guides + recipes incl. Zerto Adds a docs/ folder under the repo root with full operator documentation aimed at sysadmins (not webhook developers). The Zerto pre/post script recipe is the canonical "why does this exist" walkthrough; the GitHub HMAC, AD password reset, and UI-on-desktop recipes round out common patterns. Pages: - README.md (index) - concepts.md (5-minute "what is a webhook" explainer) - installation.md (interactive + silent install) - upgrading.md (single-click upgrade flow + edge cases) - uninstalling.md (clean removal + wiping ProgramData) - runas-modes.md (Service / InteractiveUser / SpecificUser decision flow) - service-account-and-ad.md (gMSA setup, delegated rights) - network-and-security.md (bind addresses, allowlists, HTTPS, secret storage) - troubleshooting.md (symptom -> first check, common errors) - recipes/zerto-pre-post-scripts.md (canonical use case) - recipes/github-style-hmac.md (GitHub / Stripe-shaped webhooks) - recipes/ad-password-reset.md (gMSA-backed self-service reset) - recipes/ui-on-desktop.md (InteractiveUser pattern) Top-level README.md restructured to point at docs/ as the source of truth, dropping the duplicated installation snippets. Installer ships docs/ alongside the binaries so they're available offline at C:\Program Files\WebhookServer\docs\. GUI Help menu gains a "Documentation" item that opens the docs site in a browser.

Config Checkpoints submenu replaced with a proper dialog. Lists checkpoints with timestamp/size/filename, has a "Take Checkpoint Now" button, and a "Roll Back" button that becomes enabled when a row is selected. The previous click-a-menu-entry-immediate-restore flow was too easy to fire by accident. 2. New CheckpointScheduler BackgroundService creates a checkpoint at midnight every day. Combined with the existing auto-on-save snapshots, this guarantees a daily rollback point even if the config wasn't edited that day. A new "create-checkpoint" admin op plus AdminPipeServer.CreateCheckpoint helper does the actual file copy; both manual (via the dialog) and the scheduler use it. 3. Installer: drop the post-install "Launch Webhook Server" wizard step. It tried to launch the GUI un-elevated, which fails because the GUI's manifest is requireAdministrator. The Start Menu shortcut handles elevation correctly, so the user can launch from there.

Replaced with a realistic Zerto post-failover example that's much closer to the project's purpose: - Update DNS A records for failed-over hostnames - Wait for the VM to come up at the DR site - PowerShell-remote into the VM and check / start critical services - Notify Teams with the result The flagship pattern is now: Zerto post-script (curl, fire-and-forget) calls an Async webhook endpoint -> 202 in milliseconds -> Zerto's failover sequence is never blocked. The server runs the actual work in the background, with full output captured in the daily log. A ready-to-use Zerto-side script ships at scripts/examples/zerto-post-failover.ps1 - pure curl.exe (no PowerShell modules), reads the bearer token from a file the ZVM service account can read. The installer now bundles scripts/examples/ alongside docs/ so the example is also available locally at C:\Program Files\WebhookServer\scripts\examples\. Removed: docs/recipes/ad-password-reset.md. Updated: docs/README.md, README.md, the recipe content itself.

Bring back the post-install "Launch Webhook Server" checkbox in the installer. The previous attempt failed because Inno Setup's postinstall flag launches via CreateProcess after Setup exits, bypassing the GUI's requireAdministrator manifest. Adding the shellexec flag switches to ShellExecute, which DOES honor the manifest and triggers a clean UAC prompt - so the post-install GUI launch works as expected. 2. Each checkpoint now carries a description, stored in a sidecar .meta.json file next to the snapshot. Defaults: - Auto-on-save: "Before save" - Midnight scheduler: "Nightly auto-checkpoint" - Manual: opens a small dialog so the user can type a meaningful description (defaults to "Manual checkpoint" if blank) The dialog and pruning both clean up sidecars alongside snapshots. The Config Checkpoints grid grows a Description column between When and Size.

With daily auto-checkpoints plus on-save snapshots, 30 entries could fill in a couple weeks of moderate use; 90 gives a comfortable ~3-month window.
