justin f00ee0cf3a 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 dialog + daily auto-checkpoint; drop installer GUI launch

Three fixes:

1. 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.

* Docs: replace AD-reset recipe with realistic Zerto failover walkthrough

The AD password reset endpoint was a poor fit for what people actually
need this server for. 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.

* Restore installer GUI launch (via shellexec) + checkpoint descriptions

Two follow-ups to the previous Config Checkpoints commit:

1. 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.

* v0.1.2: bump checkpoint retention 30 -> 90

Each checkpoint is a few KB of JSON plus a tiny sidecar; even at 90
entries on a config with hundreds of endpoints the on-disk footprint
is negligible (worst case ~20 MB). 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.

justin 7d94535d5d v0.1.1: GUI auto-elevates, installer handles upgrades cleanly (#2) 
* v0.1.1: GUI auto-elevates, installer stops service before file copy

Two fixes for the v0.1.0 install experience:

1. Embed app.manifest with requestedExecutionLevel=requireAdministrator
   so the GUI always elevates. The named pipe is ACL'd to SYSTEM and
   the Administrators group, but UAC token splitting puts Admins in
   deny-only on the standard token, so launching the GUI from the
   Start Menu fails to connect with "Access is denied". The manifest
   forces UAC to elevate, surfaces the shield icon on the shortcut,
   and matches the reality that the GUI cannot function without
   admin rights.

2. Add a [Code] PrepareToInstall hook to webhook-server.iss that runs
   `sc stop WebhookServer` before file copy. Upgrade installs were
   failing on locked binaries because the running service held the
   exes open. sc returns non-zero on fresh installs (no service yet)
   which we ignore.

Bumps Version to 0.1.1.

* Rename "Backups" menu item to "Config Checkpoints"

User-facing copy only; internal API names (Backups collection,
BackupEntry, list-backups op, etc.) stay the same to avoid churn
through the wire protocol and existing on-disk files. The new
phrasing makes the auto-snapshot-before-save model more discoverable.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Installer: synchronous service stop + kill stray GUI/Service processes

The previous sc.exe stop is fire-and-forget; on slower machines the
file-copy step started before the service had actually released its
binaries, leaving the upgrade in a broken state. Switch to net.exe
stop which blocks until the service reports STOPPED.

Also taskkill any running WebhookServer.Gui.exe (the user might have
left the tray running) and any orphan WebhookServer.Service.exe (from
deploy.ps1 dev runs) so all copies of the binaries are unlocked
before [Files] runs.

Pre-flight ServiceExists() check via sc query so the installer only
calls "net stop" when there is actually a service to stop, rather
than relying on net's error code.

justin a808964cf1 Phases 1-7: GUI polish, icons, tray, backups, installer, CI (#1) 
* Phase 3: app icon (multi-resolution ICO + master PNG)

scripts/generate-icons.ps1 renders the icon programmatically with
System.Drawing - rounded teal square (#0E7C66) with a stylized white
hook glyph - at 16/24/32/48/64/128/256 px and assembles a proper
multi-resolution Microsoft ICO. The PNG and ICO outputs land in
resources/. The script is the source of truth; re-run after editing
the design.

GUI csproj uses ApplicationIcon for the EXE icon and embeds the .ico
+ .png as Resources so MainWindow and AboutDialog can use them via
WPF's resource URI scheme.

* Phase 5: tray icon with minimize-to-tray and context menu

GUI csproj enables UseWindowsForms (NotifyIcon lives in WinForms even
in .NET 8). New Services/TrayIcon.cs wraps NotifyIcon with a context
menu (Open / Restart service / Exit) and the embedded webhook-server
icon. MainWindow creates the TrayIcon, hides itself on minimize and
restores on tray double-click.

Adds GlobalUsings.cs to alias the WPF defaults for types that exist
in both WPF and WinForms (Application, MessageBox, TextBox, Binding,
etc.) so existing code keeps compiling without per-file changes.

* Phase 6+7: Inno Setup installer + GitHub Actions release pipeline

installer/webhook-server.iss is an Inno Setup 6 script that:
- Installs to %ProgramFiles%\WebhookServer
- Creates Start Menu folder + GUI shortcut (and optional desktop icon)
- Runs install-service.ps1 post-install to register the Windows Service
- Runs uninstall-service.ps1 pre-uninstall to remove it
- Bundles the webhook-server icon for the installer / uninstaller

scripts/build-installer.ps1 is the local build helper: publishes both
projects, finds ISCC.exe (PATH or standard install path), compiles the
installer with the version pulled from Directory.Build.props, drops the
output in dist/.

.github/workflows/ci.yml runs build + test on every push/PR to main.
.github/workflows/release.yml triggers on v* tags (or manual dispatch),
runs tests, installs Inno Setup via choco, builds the installer, and
attaches the .exe to a GitHub Release. Pre-1.0 versions are flagged
prerelease automatically.

* Phase 4: backups + import/export config

ConfigStore.SaveAsync now snapshots the previous config to
%ProgramData%\WebhookServer\backups\config-<timestamp>.json before
overwriting, retaining the last 30. Failures are silent so a
backup-write hiccup never blocks an actual save.

Three new admin pipe ops:
- list-backups: returns newest 50 entries with timestamps and sizes
- restore-backup: takes a fileName, refuses path-traversal chars,
  loads the named backup over the live config (which itself triggers
  a fresh backup of the current state via the SaveAsync hook)
- import-config: replaces the current config with a GUI-supplied
  ServerConfig, merging encrypted secrets where the GUI didn't supply
  new plaintext

GUI File menu items are wired:
- Import config: file picker -> ImportConfigAsync
- Export config: SaveFileDialog writes the current config as JSON
- Backups: dynamic submenu auto-refreshed when opened, listing
  backups with timestamp + size; click to confirm-and-restore

justin a45d994c18 Phase 1: versioning, menu bar, About dialog, right-click context menu 
- Directory.Build.props sets Version=0.1.0 (semver pre-1.0 = beta) plus
  Authors / Product / RepositoryUrl, picked up by all three projects.
- MainWindow gets a real menu bar (File / Server / Help) replacing the
  old toolbar. File: New endpoint / Import / Export / Backups (last
  three are stubs for the next phase) / Exit. Server: Settings /
  Restart service. Help: About.
- Drop the Refresh button - the 3 s polling loop covers it.
- DataGridRow gets a right-click context menu: Edit / Copy URL /
  toggle Enabled / Delete.
- New About dialog reads AssemblyInformationalVersion at runtime and
  links jpaul.me + the GitHub repo via clickable hyperlinks.
- Ctrl+N input binding for new-endpoint.

justin 28479272d5 Configurable bind addresses + display host in Server Settings 
ServerConfig grows two fields:
- BindAddresses: list of IPs Kestrel binds to (empty = all interfaces,
  current behavior). Listening only on a subset is useful when the host
  has multiple NICs and the webhook should not be reachable on all of
  them.
- DisplayHost: the hostname/IP the GUI splices into the URL column and
  Copy URL button. Cosmetic; doesn't affect what the server accepts.

Server Settings dialog gains a "Network" section: a checkbox for "all
interfaces" plus per-NIC checkboxes auto-detected via NetworkInterface.
GetAllNetworkInterfaces, and an editable ComboBox for the display host
pre-populated with detected IPs and the machine name.

Listener restart fires on BindAddresses change but not on DisplayHost
change (cosmetic).

justin 87bcb6807f GUI UX, secret visibility, browser-friendly hooks, deploy script 
GUI:
- URL column in endpoint grid + Copy URL toolbar button so the full
  http://host:port/hook/<slug> is one click away
- Double-click a row to open the edit dialog
- Bearer/HMAC sections in the editor hide when the auth mode doesn't
  use them, and reappear with previously-entered values when switched
  back
- Log panel auto-scroll checkbox (default on) plus 3s polling so log
  entries stream in without manual refresh
- Secret fields are now plain text with a Copy button. Anyone who can
  open the admin-pipe-ACL'd GUI is already SYSTEM-equivalent on the
  host, so masking the value just made recovery harder. PFX password
  in Server Settings gets the same treatment.

Service:
- Admin pipe ops log info-level lines on every mutation
  (create/update/delete/enable/disable/update-config/bind-https) so
  GUI activity is visible in the Serilog file
- /hook/{slug} accepts GET as well as POST so a browser smoke-test
  works without curl
- /favicon.ico returns 204 so browser hits don't pollute logs with 404s
- AdminPipeServer no longer strips plaintext secrets when sending
  config to the GUI; the pipe ACL already restricts to SYSTEM/Admins

Scripts:
- New deploy.ps1: stops + republishes + copies binaries to
  C:\Program Files\WebhookServer + (re)installs the Windows Service
- install-service.ps1 now uses sc.exe argv splatting consistently for
  both create and config paths

justin 8ecfe84540 Initial WebhookServer implementation 
Add the .NET 8 solution scaffolded against PLAN.md. Three projects share
WebhookServer.Core (models, auth, execution, storage, IPC, callbacks)
and WebhookServer.Service hosts an embedded Kestrel listener plus the
named-pipe admin server. WebhookServer.Gui is a thin MVVM client over
the pipe. Includes 25 unit tests covering HMAC verification, bearer
auth, IP allowlist parsing, arg-template rendering, DPAPI round-trip,
and the encrypt-on-save config store.

Install/uninstall PowerShell scripts default to LocalSystem and accept
a domain user or gMSA via -ServiceAccount.
