# Internet Use Control — Control Service The **Control Service** is the brain and the single source of truth for the Internet Use Control project (`SYSTEM_MAP.md`). It holds schedules, blocklists, per-device state and usage, and serves the web dashboard. Only it publishes device config. **Project status: 9 of 10 phases done.** Phases 1–3 and 5–10 are complete (Phase 10, this documentation set, included). **Phase 4 — the Windows computer client — is deliberately deferred and is NOT built.** There is no Python computer client and no Windows process blocking in this repository. The only enforcement client is the kids' Android app in `android/`. See `AGENTS.md` §11. This repository contains **Phases 1–3 and 5–10** (AGENTS.md §11): - Go service with its own image (`Dockerfile`) and compose file. - SQLite schema for the whole data model (§7), applied through versioned migrations. - Configuration from the process environment (`environment.d`); no secrets in the repo. - A separate session login for Sam. - `GET /health`. - HTMX + server-rendered dashboard styled with the Family Home Lab design system (`tokens.css` copied in). - **Device registry**: add and edit a device, assign it to a child, choose its platform. Persisted in `devices`. - **Dashboard cards**: name, child, platform, status, current state, time left. - **Manual lock/unlock** from the dashboard, persisted in `state` and written to the append-only `audit` log (FR-15). - **MQTT**: each device's desired state is published *retained* on `restrict//config`; device status and telemetry are subscribed and written to SQLite; presence comes from the broker's Last Will and Testament. The broker is transport only — SQLite stays the source of truth. - **Weekly schedules**: a per-device grid of blocking windows, Monday to Sunday, including windows that cross midnight. The Control Service computes the *effective* state — manual lock or active window — and republishes it at each window boundary, so a schedule turns on and off with nobody touching it. - **Blocklist / allowlist**: per-device `app` (Android package or Windows process) and `site` (hostname) entries. While a device is blocked, the device blocks every blocklist value **except** the allowlist values (Spotify at night). That allow decision is in the published config. - **Usage**: telemetry reports are stored per device, day, app and domain and rolled up into a daily summary. The dashboard shows a week at a time — the daily total plus the top apps and top sites — with dark mode and phone-sized touch targets. - Every edit is written to the append-only audit log (FR-15). - **Overrides**: a versioned admin HTTP API for the separate Kotlin admin app (`lock`, `unlock`, `grant`, query state) guarded by a bearer token, plus the shared device keycode (one code, every device) that a kid's client can redeem for a short exemption. Both are recorded in `overrides` and `audit`, and a state change is published retained before the API responds. - **Hub API**: the project side of the frozen contract (`central_ai_llm_master/docs/ask-contract.md`) — `GET /capabilities`, read-only `POST /ask`, and `POST /notify` — all behind the Hub bearer token. `/ask` answers from SQLite and writes nothing. - **Alerts**: a background engine tells Sam through the house Apprise API when a device reaches its limit (a blocking window turns on, or a manual lock is applied) or has been offline too long. Every alert is recorded in `alerts` and the audit log, with its delivery outcome. Nothing here touches the router, Pi-hole, or DNS. Enforcement is device-side and kids-only. ## Architecture ![Internet Use Control architecture](docs/diagrams/architecture.png) ```mermaid flowchart LR SAM["Sam

Sign in with `CONTROL_ADMIN_USERNAME` and `CONTROL_ADMIN_PASSWORD`. ## Configuration All configuration is environment variables. Docker Compose loads them from `environment.d/control-service.env` (gitignored). The variables can also be exported from `~/.config/environment.d/10-secrets.conf` instead; the service reads only the process environment. | Variable | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---| | `CONTROL_ADDR` | `:8791` | Listen address | | `CONTROL_DB_PATH` | `/data/control.db` | SQLite file | | `CONTROL_SESSION_SECRET` | — (required) | Signs the session cookie, ≥ 16 chars | | `CONTROL_SESSION_TTL` | `12h` | Session lifetime | | `CONTROL_COOKIE_SECURE` | `true` | Secure cookie flag; keep true behind HTTPS | | `CONTROL_ADMIN_USERNAME` | `sam` | Dashboard login | | `CONTROL_ADMIN_PASSWORD` | — | Plaintext password (option A) | | `CONTROL_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH` | — | bcrypt hash (option B, preferred) | | `CONTROL_ADMIN_API_TOKEN` | — | Bearer token for the versioned admin API (Phase 8); empty disables it with 503 | | `CONTROL_DEVICE_KEYCODE_HASH` | — | bcrypt hash of the shared device keycode, seeded into SQLite at start-up | | `CONTROL_APP_ENV` | `production` | Label shown in the footer | | `CONTROL_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | `debug`/`info`/`warn`/`error` | | `CONTROL_TIMEZONE` | `Australia/Sydney` | IANA zone weekly windows are evaluated in | | `CONTROL_MQTT_ENABLED` | `true` | Turn the broker link on or off | | `CONTROL_MQTT_BROKER` | `tcp://host.docker.internal:1883` | Broker URL; `tls://…:8883` once the TLS listener exists | | `CONTROL_MQTT_CLIENT_ID` | `control-service` | MQTT client id | | `CONTROL_MQTT_USERNAME` | — | Control Service broker account | | `CONTROL_MQTT_PASSWORD` | — | its password | | `CONTROL_MQTT_CA_FILE` | `/etc/webrestrict/tls/ca.crt` | PEM bundle that verifies the broker (TLS only) | | `CONTROL_MQTT_INSECURE` | `false` | Allow a plaintext, credential-less broker.

The escape hatch exists for a broker that has no TLS listener; the running deployment on `.13` does not use it. Since 2026-10-13 the shared Mosquitto also serves a TLS listener on 8883 with per-device credentials and a topic ACL (`tls://host.docker.internal:8883`), so `CONTROL_MQTT_INSECURE=false`. `deploy/mosquitto/README.md` is the design, the apply runbook and the rollback. ## MQTT (Phase 3) Broker: the shared **Mosquitto on `.13`**. A second broker is not added (§10 rule 6). **The broker has two planes. They are separate listeners on the same container, and only one of them is trusted.** | Plane | Port | Security | Who uses it | |---|---|---|---| | **Plain** | **1883** | Plain text, **anonymous** | Legacy and other house consumers. Unchanged, and not used by this project. | | **TLS** | **8883** | **TLS**, per-device credentials, topic ACLs | The Control Service and every kid device. | On the 8883 plane a device may read **only** its own `restrict//config` topic, and write **only** its own `restrict//status` and `restrict//telemetry` topics. The Control Service is the only identity that may publish config. Without that ACL a child could publish a fake "unlocked". The listener, the password file and the ACL are in `deploy/mosquitto/conf.d/webrestrict.conf` and `webrestrict.acl`; `deploy/mosquitto/README.md` holds the design, the live apply and the rollback. Caveat to carry forward: `per_listener_settings true` is deprecated in Mosquitto 2.1 and is removed in 3.0. Pin the broker image tag before an upgrade. | Topic | Direction | Retained | Payload | |---|---|---|---| | `restrict//config` | service → device | yes | desired state | | `restrict//status` | device → service | yes | presence (`online`) | | `restrict//telemetry` | device → service | no | usage totals for a day | - `` is `restrict/_` from `devices.topic`, which is stored when the device is created and never changes. `` is its MQTT username. - The service publishes each device's config **retained** on startup, after every lock, unlock, expiry, create and edit, and again every 15 minutes so a broker that lost its retained store is repaired from SQLite. - Devices use the **8883 TLS listener** with one account each; the broker's ACL lets a device read only its own config and write only its own status and telemetry, and the Control Service is the only identity that may publish config. - A device registers the will `{"online": false}` on its status topic, so the broker reports the drop the moment the connection dies. That is presence (FR-6); no polling. - Reports are written to SQLite. Telemetry is a rolling daily total per (device, day, app, domain), so a repeated report replaces the row rather than adding to it (migration 002). ### Config payload (v1) ```json {"v":1,"device_id":1,"name":"Harry's phone","platform":"android", "locked":true,"until":"2026-10-13T21:00:00Z", "allow":["com.spotify.music"],"block":["com.youtube.android","roblox.exe"], "reason":"schedule","generated_at":"2026-10-13T03:30:27Z"} ``` `allow` and `block` are always arrays, never `null`. `locked` and `until` are the **effective** state: a `reason` of `schedule` means a weekly window is active, `manual` means a lock was set from the dashboard or the admin API, and `grant` means a time-limited exemption is active, in which case `grant_until` (RFC3339) is set and `locked` is false. While `locked` is true the device blocks every `block` value **except** the `allow` values (FR-4), so the allowlist is the exception list. A client must ignore unknown fields, so this shape can grow. ### Status payload (device → service) ```json {"online":true,"app":"com.spotify.music","at":"2026-10-13T03:30:27Z"} ``` The will the device registers on the same topic is `{"online":false}`. A report with no `online` field counts as online, because the device just talked to us. ### Telemetry payload (device → service) ```json {"day":"2026-10-13", "apps":[{"name":"com.spotify.music","seconds":600}], "domains":[{"name":"youtube.com","seconds":120}]} ``` A flat single-row form (`{"app":"…","seconds":600}`) is also accepted. Seconds are totals for `day`, in `YYYY-MM-DD`; a missing or malformed day uses today. List the MQTT identity of every device (tokens, no secrets): ```bash docker exec webrestrict-control /app/control mqtt-clients ``` ## Endpoints (Phase 2–9) | Method | Path | Notes | |---|---|---| | `GET` | `/health` | JSON. `status: ok`, database check. No auth. | | `GET` | `/login` | Session login form. | | `POST` | `/login` | Verifies credentials, sets a signed session cookie. | | `POST` | `/logout` | Clears the session. | | `GET` | `/` | Dashboard: service status, device cards, recent activity. | | `GET` | `/partials/status` | HTMX fragment, polled every 10 s. | | `GET` | `/devices/new` | Add-device form. | | `POST` | `/devices` | Creates a device. | | `GET` | `/devices/{id}/edit` | Edit-device form. | | `POST` | `/devices/{id}` | Updates name, child, platform. | | `POST` | `/devices/{id}/lock` | Locks now; optional `minutes` (0 = until unlocked). | | `POST` | `/devices/{id}/unlock` | Unlocks now. | | `GET` | `/devices/{id}/schedule` | Weekly schedule editor (grid of windows). | | `POST` | `/devices/{id}/schedule` | Replaces the device's windows; `clear=1` clears them. | | `GET` | `/devices/{id}/lists` | Blocklist / allowlist editor. | | `POST` | `/devices/{id}/lists` | Adds one entry (`table=block|allow`, `kind=app|site`, `value`). | | `POST` | `/devices/{id}/lists/{entryID}/delete` | Removes one entry. | | `GET` | `/devices/{id}/usage` | Usage for one device: a week of daily totals, top apps and top sites. `?week=YYYY-MM-DD` selects the week (any day in it; default today). | ### Admin API (Phase 8) All admin endpoints are under `/api/v1`, use JSON, and require `Authorization: Bearer $CONTROL_ADMIN_API_TOKEN`. This token is **separate** from the dashboard session login. Responses use one envelope: ```json {"ok":true,"action":"lock","device":{"id":1,"name":"Harry's phone", "child":"Harry","platform":"android","topic":"restrict/harry_s_phone_1/config", "online":true,"last_seen":null,"locked":true,"until":"2026-10-13T21:00:00Z", "grant_until":null,"reason":"manual","updated_at":"2026-10-13T10:29:59Z"}} ``` | Method | Path | Body | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `GET` | `/api/v1/admin/devices` | — | Every device with its effective state. | | `GET` | `/api/v1/admin/devices/{id}` | — | One device. `404` if unknown. | | `POST` | `/api/v1/admin/devices/{id}/lock` | `{"minutes":30}` or `{"until":"2026-10-13T21:00:00+11:00"}` or `{}` | Lock now. `{}` means until unlocked; the two time fields are mutually exclusive. | | `POST` | `/api/v1/admin/devices/{id}/unlock` | `{}` or empty | Clear the manual lock and any grant. | | `POST` | `/api/v1/admin/devices/{id}/grant` | `{"minutes":30}` or `{"until":"…"}` | Grant time: unlocked until then, even during a schedule window, then the schedule re-applies. A time is required. | | `POST` | `/api/v1/device/override` | `{"device_id":1,"keycode":"…","minutes":15}` | The on-device keycode path. **No bearer token.** Wrong codes are throttled and audited. | `minutes` is capped (grants at 24 h, locks at 7 days). Errors are `{"ok":false,"error":"…"}` with `400` (bad body), `401` (bad token or keycode), `404` (unknown device), `429` (keycode throttled) or `503` (admin API or keycode not configured). A `200` means the state was stored **and** the retained config was accepted by the broker, so the device changes without a poll. Every form POST needs the `csrf` field from the session cookie. State changes append to the `audit` table and republish the device's retained config. Devices are never hard-deleted (§10 rule 10). ## Hub API (Phase 9) The project side of the frozen contract (`central_ai_llm_master/docs/ask-contract.md`). All three endpoints require `Authorization: Bearer $CONTROL_HUB_TOKEN`, a shared token separate from the dashboard session and the admin API. With no token set they answer `503`. | Method | Path | Notes | |---|---|---| | `GET` | `/capabilities` | `{"project":"internet_control","topics":[…],"people":[…]}`. The Hub reads it to route a question; the name matches the Hub's `routing.md` row. | | `POST` | `/ask` | Read-only. Body is the contract's `AskRequest`; the reply is always `200` with an `answer` or `answer:null` plus a `reason`. | | `POST` | `/notify` | Accepts the contract's `{"from","level","message","person"}` and delivers it to Sam through Apprise. | `/ask` answers these intents from SQLite, deterministically and without an LLM: ```bash curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $CONTROL_HUB_TOKEN" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"question":"how long have the kids been on screens today?","asker":"sam"}' \ http://127.0.0.1:8791/ask # {"answer":"The kids have had 1h 22m of screen time today.", # "data":{"day":"2026-10-13","total_seconds":4925, # "by_device":[{"device":"Harry's phone","child":"Harry", # "seconds":4925,"app_seconds":4925,"domain_seconds":4800}]}, # "expires":"2026-10-13T05:52:33Z"} ``` - **Screen time**: a device-day is measured by its foreground-app total; the domain total is used only when a device reports no apps at all, so a report that carries both is not double-counted. - **What is blocked**: the currently blocked devices and until when. - **Presence**: which devices are online, and for how long an offline one has been down. - **One person at most**: the `person` field (or a child named in the question) scopes the answer; only `sam` may ask. `/ask` is **read-only** (AGENTS.md §10 rule 9). It calls only store read methods and writes nothing, including no audit row; `TestAskWritesNothing` asserts it. ## Alerts (Phase 9) A background engine (`internal/alert`) evaluates device state every `CONTROL_ALERT_INTERVAL` and raises one alert per transition: - **Limit hit** — a device became blocked (a weekly window turned on, or a manual lock was applied), or - **Offline too long** — presence is false and the last report is older than `CONTROL_ALERT_OFFLINE_AFTER`. A device that has never reported is not alerted. The alert is recorded in `alerts` **before** delivery, then sent through Apprise. The `delivered` flag and any error are written back, so a delivery failure is visible rather than silent. The dedup state in `alert_state` makes an alert fire once per transition, and a restart seeds that state without replaying an old limit. `POST /notify` uses the same Apprise path for on-demand messages (a tamper report from a phone client, FR-17, will use it). Operational views of the same data: ```bash docker exec webrestrict-control /app/control alerts --limit 10 docker exec webrestrict-control /app/control usage --day 2026-10-13 --detail ``` ## Telemetry and usage (Phase 7) Usage arrives on `restrict//telemetry` and is stored in `telemetry`: one row per (device, day, app, domain), where a repeat report for the same key replaces the earlier total (a rolling daily total, not a delta). `telemetry_daily` is the **daily rollup** — one row per (device, day) — written together with the detail row and rebuildable from it with `control rollup`. Apps and domains are summed into separate columns on purpose: a report may carry both for the same session, so a single total would double-count the time. The rollup is derived data, never a second source of truth. `GET /devices/{id}/usage` shows one Monday-to-Sunday week: the app total and the site total per day, then the top 10 apps and top 10 sites for the week. The screen uses the Family Home Lab tokens, follows the OS light/dark preference (there is a toggle in the nav bar), and works on a phone browser. Retention: - The daily rollup is kept long; the detail table is small and kept too. Nothing is hard-deleted (AGENTS.md §10 rule 10). - The append-only `audit` log is **size-capped** at 20 000 rows by the service's maintenance loop, oldest first (§7). It is never edited in place. Rebuild the rollup from the detail table at any time (idempotent, safe while the service is up; the service also does it at start-up and every 15 minutes): ```bash # inside the container docker exec webrestrict-control /app/control rollup # or against a database file on the host /app/control rollup --db /data/control.db ``` ## Schedules, blocklists and allowlists (Phase 6) A **schedule** is a set of weekly blocking windows per device: a weekday (Monday = 0 … Sunday = 6), a local `HH:MM` start and end, and an end earlier than the start means the window crosses midnight (Monday 20:00–07:00 ends Tuesday 07:00). A window means restrictions are **ON** during that time. The **effective state** is a manual lock, an active window, or neither. The Control Service computes it and publishes it retained. A manual lock with no end time (“until I unlock”) never lifts; otherwise the later of the manual end and the covering window's end is used. A background loop republishes at the next window boundary, so a window starts and ends on time without a poll. A **blocklist** entry is blocked while a window is active or the device is locked. An **allowlist** entry (each entry is `app` or `site`) is the exception list: the device blocks every blocklist value *except* the allowlist. For example, with `com.spotify.music` allowlisted and `com.youtube.android` blocked, Spotify stays available and YouTube does not. Hostnames are lower-cased; app values keep their case. ## Overrides (Phase 8) An **override** is a deliberate change to a device's desired state. There are two paths (AGENTS.md §4 FR-10): 1. **The admin app**, over the versioned HTTP API above. It is the remote lock/unlock/grant surface. 2. **The device keycode**, entered on the kid's device. One code is shared by every device (§10 rule 3). A correct code grants a short exemption through `POST /api/v1/device/override`; the clients in Phases 4–5 will call it. Semantics: - **lock** sets the manual lock (`state.locked`). With no end it never lifts; with an end it lifts at that time. - **unlock** clears the manual lock and any grant, returning the device to its schedule. - **grant** unlocks the device until its end, even inside a schedule window, and records `grant_until`. When the grant ends the weekly schedule applies again — the Control Service treats the grant end as a republish boundary, so the device re-locks on time. Every override is written to the `overrides` table and to the append-only `audit` log (FR-15), with the actor: `admin-api`, `device-keycode`, or `sam` from the dashboard. A lock clears a grant and a grant clears a lock, so the two cannot contradict each other. ### The shared device keycode The code is never stored or logged in plaintext. It is a bcrypt hash in SQLite. `CONTROL_DEVICE_KEYCODE_HASH` seeds the first run; after that the stored code is authoritative, so a change made with `control keycode` survives a restart: ```bash # Set a code you choose (read from stdin, so it never reaches the process list). docker exec -i webrestrict-control /app/control keycode <<< '246810' # Or generate a random six-digit code and print it once to put on each device. docker exec webrestrict-control /app/control keycode --generate ``` The keycode endpoint is throttled: five wrong codes from one address freeze that address for five minutes, and every attempt is audited. It returns `503` when no keycode is configured. ### Prove a lock reaches a device in under a second The Phase 8 definition of done. `make verify-phase8` issues a lock through the API and measures the time until a broker subscriber receives the retained `restrict//config` message: ```bash make verify-phase8 ``` It needs the `control-service` broker credentials (`deploy/mosquitto/clients.env`) and a device that exists. It never restarts or reconfigures anything shared. ### Prove the Hub answers and the alerts deliver The Phase 9 definition of done. `make verify-phase9` calls `/capabilities` and `/ask`, checks the answer against an independent count from the telemetry detail table, triggers a limit alert and an offline-too-long alert, and posts a notification: ```bash make verify-phase9 ``` Each alert is checked in the `alerts` table for `delivered`; a recorded but undelivered alert fails the script with the delivery error shown. It needs `CONTROL_HUB_TOKEN`, `CONTROL_ADMIN_API_TOKEN`, a working Apprise destination and the device broker credentials. It leaves the device unlocked and online. ## Development There is no host Go toolchain on `.13`; use the cached builder image. ```bash make test # go test ./... in golang:1.25-alpine make vet # go vet ./... make build # build the container image make up # docker compose up -d --build make logs # follow container logs make mqtt-verify # prove TLS + credentials + ACLs on a throwaway broker make verify-phase8 # prove an API lock reaches a device in under a second make verify-phase9 # prove the Hub answers and the Apprise alerts deliver ``` `make test` and `make vet` run the container as your own user and keep the module cache in `.gocache/` (gitignored), so nothing in the repository ends up owned by root. `make mqtt-verify` never touches the shared Mosquitto: it stages a scratch broker on `127.0.0.1:18883` and removes it afterwards. ## Kids' Android client (Phase 5.1) `android/` is the kids' phone app: a normal Gradle project with its own `gradlew`. It blocks by **interruption** — an Accessibility Service sees the foreground package and a full-screen overlay covers any app on the blocklist while the device is locked (FR-16). There is **no Device Owner**, no factory reset and no managed profile; the child can disable it, and the enforcement is the tamper alert (FR-17). - **Telemetry** comes from **Usage Access** (`UsageCollector.kt`), reported per app and per day over the device's own telemetry topic. - **Site filtering** uses a device-local **`VpnService`** (`SiteFilterVpnService.kt`, `SiteFilter.kt`, `DnsMessage.kt`, `IpPacket.kt`). No router, no Pi-hole, no change to the house DNS (FR-18). - **The block decision** is in `BlockEngine.kt`, from the config payload in `DeviceConfig.kt`. A tamper report rides the device's own status topic, because that is the only topic its broker ACL may write: ```json {"online":true,"tamper":{"kind":"accessibility_disabled","detail":"the service was destroyed"}} ``` `internal/mqtt` parses it, `internal/alert` records a `tamper` alert and delivers it through Apprise, so it reaches Sam. The client also reports a revoked overlay permission and a force-stop on the next start. It keeps the last config on disk, so a broker-less device keeps its rules (FR-14). The block path and the tamper alert are proven on the headless `pixel35` emulator on `.27`; see `android/README.md` and `android/tools/emu-proof.sh`. ## Layout ``` cmd/control/ service entry point (+ hash-password, mqtt-clients, rollup, keycode, alerts, usage) android/ kids' Android client (Gradle, Kotlin; Accessibility + overlay) app/src/main/java/… Accessibility Service, overlay, block rule, MQTT, tamper report tools/emu-proof.sh headless emulator proof (block overlay + tamper) internal/config/ environment configuration internal/store/ SQLite open, migrations, audit, devices + state devices.go device registry, desired state, lock + grant expiry schedules.go weekly windows and the effective state (incl. grants) reports.go presence, telemetry, the daily rollup, top lists, audit cap alerts.go alert records and per-device dedup state lists.go allow/block lists and device lookup by topic overrides.go override history + the shared device keycode migrations/001_init.sql … 005_alerts.sql internal/auth/ signed-cookie session login + CSRF internal/apprise/ Apprise API client (alerts and notifications) internal/alert/ the limit/offline alert engine (transition -> Apprise) internal/hub/ the Hub contract: capabilities, read-only answers, notify internal/mqtt/ the broker link: retained config out, reports in payload.go topic and payload contract for the kids' clients link.go paho client, subscriptions, publish, TLS verification internal/web/ HTTP handlers, templates, static assets devices.go device registry + manual lock/unlock handlers admin_api.go versioned admin API + the device keycode endpoint hub_api.go /capabilities, /ask (read-only), /notify schedules.go weekly schedule and block/allow editors usage.go usage screen: week grid, top apps, top sites templates/ login, dashboard, device form, editors, usage, partials static/ tokens.css (Family Home Lab), app.css, theme.js, htmx, fonts Dockerfile own image (multi-stage, CGO-free) docker-compose.yml own container, port 8791 environment.d/ control-service.env.example (real file gitignored) deploy/caddy/ Caddy vhost for webrestrict.lab.audasmedia.com.au deploy/mosquitto/ TLS listener, credentials, topic ACL, verifier deploy/verify-phase8.sh lock latency proof deploy/verify-phase9.sh Hub + alerts proof docs/architecture.mmd Mermaid source for the diagram in this README docs/diagrams/ rendered Mermaid PNG docs/archify/ Archify specification for the interactive map docs/architecture-map.html interactive Archify map (published to the maps site) docs/outline/ AI-context collection (Simplified Technical English) docs/vikunja-tasks.json copy of the Vikunja board tasks ``` ## Caddy `deploy/caddy/webrestrict.caddy` holds the vhost for `webrestrict.lab.audasmedia.com.au`. The terminating Caddy runs on `.35` (sam-Ubuntu1); see that file for the two proxy patterns and the apply commands. ## Non-goals (Phase 10) - **Phase 4, the Windows computer client, is not built.** It is deliberate. The Python client, process blocking, and the Windows overlay warning do not exist. The project stands at **9 of 10** because of this single gap. - No grant button in the dashboard. Grant is on the admin API; the dashboard has lock and unlock. Adding the button is a later UI change. - No per-child or per-device keycode. One code, every device (§10 rule 3). - No HTTP telemetry ingest. Telemetry arrives over MQTT only. The kids' phone client exists (Phase 5). The kids' computer client does not (Phase 4, deferred). - No Alerts screen in the dashboard yet. The alert history is in `alerts` and is readable with `control alerts`; the screen is a later UI change. - The Hub is wired to this service: the running Hub on `.13:8788` routes screen-time questions here and returns the answer. Registration is host configuration, not code: the project is in the Hub's `HUB_PROJECTS` and `HUB_PROJECT_INTERNET_CONTROL_TOKEN`, and the Hub's human-owned `routing.md` row already names the project `internet_control` (which is why `/capabilities` uses that name).
