Add the task log: recent tasks with status, Enter shows the log
l on the main screen opens "Tasks", the recent cluster tasks newest
first. l on the info screen shows only that guest's tasks. Columns:
start, duration (or "running"), node, type, VMID ("-" for node
tasks), user and status. A failed task gets a "!" in the leading
column. Enter opens the task's log in a plain-text widget, so the
output is never parsed as markup.

`task list -o json` has no start or end times, so the list comes from
`/cluster/tasks`. The upid is validated (it must start with "UPID:")
before it goes in as a positional argument.

Review fixes:
- A finished task without a start time no longer crashes the app; its
  duration shows "-".
- "running" now means there is no endtime. A finished task with an
  empty status shows "unknown" and is flagged.

Read-only live check: 25 tasks listed, and the log of the newest
(vzdelsnapshot 104) ends with TASK OK.

Closes #10

# Guest TUI MVP
## Problem
Manage Proxmox guests (VMs and LXC containers) from the terminal without remembering
`cv4pve-cli` syntax: list them, start/shutdown/stop/reboot, and change CPU cores,
memory and disk size.
## Approach
Thin subprocess wrapper around `cv4pve-cli` (tested against 2.4.0) plus a Textual app.
The app never handles credentials: it uses whatever context `cv4pve-cli config use`
selected.
Observed CLI behaviour the design relies on:
- `get guests -o json` -> list of dicts with `vmid`, `type` (`qemu`|`lxc`), `node`,
`name`, `status`, `maxcpu`, `maxmem` (bytes), `maxdisk` (bytes), ...
- `show vm|ct <node> <vmid> -o json` -> list of `{"key": ..., "value": ...}`.
- `api get /nodes/<node>/<qemu|lxc>/<vmid>/pending -o json` -> list of
`{"key", "value", "pending", "delete"}`; `pending` non-null means not yet applied.
- Async actions print a UPID and exit 0 **even when the task fails**. With `--wait`
the CLI waits for the task and exits non-zero (5) with the error text on failure.
Every mutating call therefore uses `--wait`.
- `do stop` refuses to run without `-y` (verified); `-y` is accepted by all four
lifecycle actions, so it is always passed.
- Errors: non-zero exit, message on stdout/stderr. Sync failures are multi-line
(`Error: ...` / `Call: ...` / `Alias: ...`). Success is judged by exit code only,
never by parsing UPID text.
- Each call costs ~0.5 s (.NET startup), so calls run in worker threads.
- `get guests` (`/cluster/resources`) lags a few seconds behind actions; after an
action the app reads the acted-on guest's live status from
`api get /nodes/<node>/<qemu|lxc>/<vmid>/status/current` (key/value list).
### Module `cv4pve_tui/cli.py`
- `CliError(Exception)` - `str()` is the CLI's combined, stripped output;
`.summary` is one line for the UI: the first non-empty line that is not a UPID,
`Error:`-prefix stripped, plus the following indented detail line if the first
line ends with `:`.
- `run(*args) -> str` - `subprocess.run(["cv4pve-cli", *args], capture_output=True,
text=True, stdin=DEVNULL, timeout=330)`; non-zero exit -> `CliError`.
- `kind(guest) -> "vm" | "ct"` - from `type` (`qemu` -> `vm`, `lxc` -> `ct`).
- `list_guests() -> list[dict]` - sorted by `vmid`.
- `guest_config(guest) -> dict` - key/value list flattened to a dict.
- `disks(config, kind) -> dict[str, str]` - resizable disks -> size string.
VM: `scsiN|virtioN|sataN|ideN` with a `size=`, excluding `media=cdrom` and
cloud-init. CT: `rootfs`, `mpN`.
- `ACTIONS = ("start", "shutdown", "stop", "reboot")`;
`action(name, guest)` -> `do <name> <kind> <node> <vmid> -y --wait`;
unknown name -> `ValueError`.
- `set_resources(guest, cores=None, memory_mb=None)` ->
`set <kind> config <node> <vmid> [--cores N] [--memory M] --wait`; values must be
positive ints; nothing to set -> `ValueError`.
- `resize_disk(guest, disk, grow_gb)` -> `do resize <kind> disk <node> <vmid> <disk>
+<grow_gb>G --wait`; `grow_gb` must be a positive int (growth only - Proxmox cannot
shrink, and an increment cannot shrink by construction).
- `pending_keys(guest) -> list[str]` - keys with a non-null `pending`.
### Module `cv4pve_tui/app.py`
- `DataTable` of guests: VMID, name, type, node, status, cores, memory (MiB),
disk (GiB). Cursor row = selected guest.
- Keys: `s` start, `S` shutdown, `x` stop (hard), `r` reboot, `e` edit,
`g` refresh, `q` quit.
- `shutdown`, `stop`, `reboot` open a confirm modal naming the guest; `stop` says it
is a hard power-off. `start` needs no confirmation.
- `e` opens an edit modal: cores, memory MiB, disk select + "grow by GiB".
Empty field = unchanged. Disk growth gets its own confirm (irreversible).
- After `set_resources`, if `pending_keys` contains `cores` or `memory`, notify that
the change applies at next reboot.
- All CLI calls in thread workers; results/errors via `notify` (errors show
`CliError.summary`); table refreshes after each action.
- A "working" notice is shown when an action starts (`--wait` can block minutes),
and a second action on a guest that is already busy is refused.
- Action keys on an empty table do nothing (no crash).
### UI contract (shared by tests and implementation)
- `app.py` does `from cv4pve_tui import cli` and always calls `cli.<function>(...)`,
so tests monkeypatch `cv4pve_tui.cli.<function>`.
- `class GuestApp(App)`; `def main()` runs it.
- Guest table: `DataTable` with id `guests`, one row per guest, row key = str(vmid),
in `list_guests()` order. Loaded on mount.
- `ConfirmScreen(ModalScreen[bool])`: buttons `#yes` / `#no`; its text names the guest
(name and vmid); for `stop` it contains the words "hard power-off".
- `EditScreen(ModalScreen)`: `Input#cores`, `Input#memory`, `Select#disk`,
`Input#grow`, buttons `#apply` / `#cancel`. Inputs are pre-filled with nothing
(empty = unchanged); placeholders show current values. Disk options come from
`cli.disks(cli.guest_config(guest), cli.kind(guest))`.
On apply: if cores/memory given -> `cli.set_resources(guest, cores=..., memory_mb=...)`
(only the given ones, as ints); if grow given -> `ConfirmScreen` first, then
`cli.resize_disk(guest, disk, grow_gb)`. Non-integer or <= 0 input -> `notify`
with severity "error" and no CLI call.
- Thread workers (`@work(thread=True)` or `run_worker(..., thread=True)`); tests wait
with `await app.workers.wait_for_complete()` then `await pilot.pause()`.
## Out of scope
Create/delete, snapshots, migration, console, backup, in-app context switching,
sockets/vCPU/hotplug settings, live auto-refresh.
## Steps
- [x] Project skeleton (`uv`, `pyproject.toml`, entry point `cv4pve-tui`) -
`uv run python -c "import cv4pve_tui"` succeeds.
- [x] Tests for `cli.py` with `subprocess.run` mocked - fail before implementation.
- [x] `cli.py` - tests pass.
- [x] Tests for the app with Textual `run_test` and `cli` functions mocked.
- [x] `app.py` - tests pass.
- [x] Read-only smoke test against the real cluster (listing, edit dialog disk options,
pending check).
- [x] Live edit (cores/memory), shutdown, start, reboot on CT 104 (mainframe), restored
to baseline afterwards. Disk resize not run live (irreversible).
## Open questions
None blocking.

# Context switching
## Problem
Several cv4pve-cli contexts (clusters) exist; switch between them inside the TUI
instead of quitting and running `cv4pve-cli config use`.
## Decision
Option A: switching runs `cv4pve-cli config use <name>`, which changes the **global**
current context (all shells and scripts follow) and stays after the app exits. cv4pve-cli
2.4.0 has no per-call context flag or env var (verified), so there is no app-local option.
Observed CLI behaviour:
- `config list` has no `-o json`. Text output, one line per context; current one
prefixed with `* `, others with two spaces:
`* mainframe mainframe.iot.home.arpa:8006 (api-token)`
` mainframe-edge mainframe-edge.home.arpa:8006 (api-token)`
- `config use <name>` -> exit 0 on success; unknown name -> exit 3,
`Error: Context '<name>' not found.`, current context unchanged.
### `cli.py`
- `contexts() -> list[dict]` - `run("config", "list")`, each line parsed to
`{"name", "host", "auth", "current": bool}` (regex
`^(\*)?\s*(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+\((.*)\)\s*$`); non-matching lines are ignored.
- `use_context(name)` - `run("config", "use", name)`.
### `app.py` (UI contract)
- The active context is always visible: `app.sub_title == f"context: {name}"`
(shown in the Header). Set on mount from `cli.contexts()` and after every switch.
If `contexts()` fails: error notify, sub_title `context: ?`.
- Key `c` opens `ContextScreen(ModalScreen[str | None])` with `OptionList#contexts`,
one option per context, option id = context name, current one marked with `*`.
Selecting an option dismisses with its name; `escape` dismisses with `None`.
- `c` while any guest is busy -> warning notify, no screen (VMIDs collide across
clusters, so the busy guard would point at the wrong cluster).
- Selecting the current context or dismissing -> no CLI call.
- A reload started before a switch must not refill the table (generation counter);
`g` and `c` are refused while a switch runs; the post-action reload finishes before
the guest stops being busy.
- Selecting another context: table cleared immediately (old cluster's guests must not
stay actionable), then in a worker `cli.use_context(name)`, sub_title updated, guests
reloaded. On `CliError`: error notify with summary, sub_title re-read from
`cli.contexts()`, guests reloaded.
## Out of scope
Adding/editing/deleting contexts, `config verify`, restoring the original context on exit.
## Steps
- [x] Tests for `contexts`/`use_context` and the UI contract above - red first.
- [x] Implementation - full suite green, ruff clean.
- [x] Live: open the list, switch to `mainframe-edge` and back to `mainframe`
(only `config use` and read-only listing; no guest actions); final context
is `mainframe`.

# LXC shell
## Problem
Open an interactive shell in a running LXC container from the TUI. cv4pve-cli 2.4.0 has
no console/shell/exec for LXC (verified: no command; the Proxmox API has no LXC exec),
so the app goes around it: SSH to the PVE node as root and run `pct enter <vmid>`.
## Decision
Option 1 from the discussion: `ssh -t root@<node> pct enter <vmid>`. The node name is
the SSH host (resolves via DNS here: `mainframe`, `mainframe-edge`); the user's key is in
root's `authorized_keys` (verified: `ssh -o BatchMode=yes root@mainframe pct status 104`
-> `status: running`). This bypasses cv4pve-cli and its API token.
## `app.py` (UI contract)
- Key `t` ("Shell") on the selected guest.
- Only for `type == "lxc"` and `status == "running"`; otherwise a warning notify that
says why (not a container / not running) and nothing runs. Empty table: nothing.
- Busy guest (action running) -> warning notify, nothing runs.
- Runs on the main thread inside `with self.suspend():` -
`subprocess.run(["ssh", "-t", f"root@{node}", "pct", "enter", str(vmid)])`
(no capture, no timeout: the user's terminal is handed over; `import subprocess` in
app.py so tests patch `cv4pve_tui.app.subprocess.run`).
- Exit 255 (ssh itself failed) -> error notify naming the guest and the code. Other
exit codes are the container shell's last status (`exit` after a failed command
gives 1) and are not errors.
- Inside `suspend()`, right before ssh, the terminal gets a full reset (`ESC c`, what
`reset` sends) so the container shell starts on a clean screen without leftover TUI
terminal modes (user request). Done locally, not in the container: no dependency on
`reset` existing there, and `pct enter` stays unchanged.
- `OSError` from `subprocess.run` is caught *inside* the `suspend()` block: Textual
8.2.8's `suspend()` has no try/finally, so an exception escaping it leaves the app
suspended.
- The guest table reloads after the shell returns (the user may have stopped or
rebooted the container from inside).
- `textual.app.SuspendNotSupported` (headless / unsupported driver) and `OSError`
(no `ssh` binary) -> error notify, app keeps running.
- Tests: `App.suspend` raises `SuspendNotSupported` under `run_test`, so tests replace
`app.suspend` with a no-op context manager (e.g. `contextlib.nullcontext`) unless
testing that error path.
## Out of scope
VM consoles (serial/VNC), configurable SSH user/host/options, termproxy/websocket.
## Steps
- [x] Tests for the UI contract above - red first.
- [x] Implementation - full suite green, ruff clean. README key table gets `t`.
- [x] Interactive test by the user: `t` on CT 104, `exit`, back in the table; screen
clean after the reset.
- [ ] Push `feat/lxc-shell`, merge to `main` (user-approved).

# Guest info screen: backups, backup now, network (read-only) - delivery A
## Problem
Per guest, see its latest backups and network setup, and start a backup now. Network
*editing* is delivery B (separate, live-tested), not part of this.
## Decisions (user-approved)
- Backup now uses the scheduled job's settings: `--mode snapshot --compress zstd`.
Storage is chosen from the node's backup-capable storages, preselected to the job's
storage (`truenas-backup` here), `local` as alternative.
- Manual backups get `--notes-template "{{guestname}} (manual)"` so they are
recognisable. Note for the user: `truenas-backup` has storage prune `keep-all=1`, but
the job has `keep-last 3` per guest; a manual backup there likely counts towards it at
the job's next run (not verified).
Observed CLI behaviour (cv4pve-cli 2.4.0, all read-only probes):
- `get node storages <node> -o json` -> list of dicts: `storage`, `content`
(comma list, e.g. `iso,snippets,import,backup,vztmpl`), `enabled`, `active`, `type`,
`avail` (bytes).
- `get cluster backup-jobs -o json` -> list of dicts: `id`, `enabled`, `storage`,
`schedule` (e.g. `mon,wed,fri 04:00`), `mode`, `compress`, `all` (1 = all guests),
`vmid` (comma list or null), `exclude` (comma list or null), `node` (null = all),
`next-run` (epoch), `prune-backups` (e.g. `{"keep-last":"3"}`).
- `get guest backups <node> <storage> <vmid> -o json` -> list of dicts: `volid`
(`truenas-backup:backup/vzdump-lxc-104-2026_11_02-04_11_47.tar.zst`), `ctime` (epoch),
`size` (bytes), `format`, `notes`, `protected`, `subtype` (`lxc`|`qemu`), `vmid`.
- `do backup guest <node> <vmid> <storage> [--key value]` - no `--yes` option.
vzdump params: `mode` snapshot|suspend|stop, `compress` 0|1|gzip|lzo|zstd,
`notes-template`.
- CT net config: `netN` = `name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,hwaddr=BC:24:11:36:DE:78,ip=dhcp,ip6=auto,type=veth`
(optional `gw`, `gw6`, `tag`, `firewall`, `rate`, `mtu`, ...).
- VM net config: `netN` = `virtio=02:24:A6:49:A8:25,bridge=vmbr0[,tag=..][,firewall=1]`
(first item is `<model>=<MAC>`); IP settings live in `ipconfigN` (cloud-init), e.g.
`ip=dhcp`.
- Runtime IPs, CT (running): `get ct interfaces <node> <vmid> -o json` -> list of
dicts: `name`, `hwaddr`, `inet` (e.g. `172.16.41.200/23`), `inet6` (may be absent/
null), `ip-addresses` (JSON string).
- Runtime IPs, VM (running, guest agent): `get vm agent network <node> <vmid> -o json`
-> `[{"key": "result", "value": "<JSON string>"}]`; the JSON is a list of
`{"name", "hardware-address", "ip-addresses": [{"ip-address", "prefix",
"ip-address-type": "ipv4"|"ipv6"}]}`. Fails when the agent is not running.
### `cli.py`
- `backup_storages(guest) -> list[str]` - storages on the guest's node whose `content`
contains `backup` and that are enabled and active, in API order.
- `backup_jobs() -> list[dict]`.
- `job_storage(jobs, guest) -> str | None` - storage of the first enabled job covering
the guest: (`all` truthy and vmid not in `exclude`) or vmid in `vmid`; and `node` null
or equal to the guest's node.
- `backup_jobs()` parses `prune-backups` when the CLI returns it as a JSON string
(real output: `'{"keep-last":"3"}'`).
- `backups(guest, storages) -> list[dict]` - all backups of the guest on those
storages, newest first (`ctime` desc). Each dict gets `storage` (from volid prefix).
- `backup_now(guest, storage)` -> `do backup guest <node> <vmid> <storage> --mode
snapshot --compress zstd --notes-template "{{guestname}} (manual)" --wait`.
- `parse_net(value: str) -> dict` - `netN` string to an ordered dict of key -> value
(insertion order kept, so B can re-serialise unchanged keys). VM: the first
`<model>=<MAC>` item is kept as is (key = model).
- `nets(config) -> dict[str, dict]` - `netN` keys (sorted by N) -> `parse_net(value)`.
- `interfaces(guest) -> list[dict]` - runtime interfaces as
`{"name", "mac", "ipv4": [cidr...], "ipv6": [cidr...]}`, loopback (`lo`) excluded.
CT via `get ct interfaces` (addresses from its `ip-addresses` JSON string - `inet6`
alone holds only one, e.g. link-local, and misses the global SLAAC address), VM via
`get vm agent network`. Only called when the guest's live status is running.
### `app.py` (UI contract)
- Key `i` on a guest opens `InfoScreen(guest)` (a `Screen` or `ModalScreen`). Empty
table: nothing.
- InfoScreen loads in a thread worker: config -> `cli.nets`, `cli.interfaces` (only if
status is `running`; a failure there is shown inline as "unavailable: <summary>", not
as a fatal error), `cli.backup_storages`, `cli.backup_jobs`, `cli.backups`.
- Shows:
- `DataTable#backups`: Date (local time, `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM`), Storage, Size (GiB, one
decimal), Format, Notes. Newest first. A `Static#jobs` line naming the job(s) that
cover the guest (schedule, storage, `keep-last` if present) or "No backup job
covers this guest".
- `DataTable#nets`: Iface (net0...), Bridge, VLAN (`tag` or `-`), MAC, IPv4 (CT `ip`,
VM `ipconfigN` `ip`, or `-`), IPv6 (CT `ip6`, VM `ipconfigN` `ip6`, or `-`),
Firewall (`yes`/`no`).
- `DataTable#addresses`: Interface, MAC, IPv4, IPv6 (runtime), or the unavailable
line.
- VMIDs are reused: a deleted guest's backups keep the VMID and are listed by the API
for the new guest. Backups whose notes (the job's `{{guestname}}`) are non-empty and
are neither the current name nor start with `<name> ` (e.g. `debian (manual)`) are
hidden by default; `Static#hidden` says how many; key `a` toggles showing them,
marked `(earlier guest)`. Backups without notes are always shown.
- Key `b` in InfoScreen: `BackupScreen` modal with `Select#storage` (options =
backup storages, preselected `job_storage` or the first), text saying mode snapshot,
zstd, and the guest; buttons `#yes` / `#no`; escape = no. On yes: guest marked busy
in `app.busy` (refuse with a warning if already busy), "backup started" notify, worker
runs `cli.backup_now`, then "backup done"/error notify, busy released, backup list
reloaded if the InfoScreen is still open.
- `escape` closes InfoScreen; `g` in InfoScreen reloads it.
- Every CLI failure -> error notify with `_message(exc)`, app keeps running.
## Steps
- [x] Tests (cli + UI contract) - red first.
- [x] Implementation - suite green, ruff clean, README keys `i` / `b`.
- [x] Read-only live check: open InfoScreen for CT 104 and VM 108, data shown.
- [x] User tests "Backup now" on CT 104 (`debian (manual)`, 2026-11-02 21:09).
- [ ] Push `feat/guest-info`, merge to `main` (user-approved after the test).

# Network editing - delivery B
## Problem
Change a guest's network settings from the info screen: bridge, VLAN, firewall, IPv4
and IPv6 (incl. SLAAC), without breaking what is not edited.
## Decisions (user-approved)
- VM IP settings go through cloud-init `ipconfigN`, only when the VM has a cloud-init
drive; they apply at the next boot. VMs without cloud-init: IP fields disabled with a
note (IP is configured inside the VM).
- IPv4 modes: DHCP / Static (CIDR + optional gateway) / None.
IPv6 modes: SLAAC / DHCP / Static (CIDR + optional gateway) / None.
- Undo key `u`: restores the values from before the last network change made in this
app session for that guest.
- Out of scope: adding/removing interfaces, MAC, mtu, rate, trunks, DNS.
API facts (Proxmox VE 9.2, `api usage ... config set -v`):
- LXC `net[n]`: `name=<string>[,bridge][,firewall=<1|0>][,gw=<IPv4>][,gw6=<IPv6>]
[,host-managed][,hwaddr][,ip=<IPv4/CIDR|dhcp|manual>][,ip6=<IPv6/CIDR|auto|dhcp|manual>]
[,link_down][,mtu][,rate][,tag=<int>][,trunks][,type=veth]`. `ip6=auto` = SLAAC.
Applied immediately on a running CT.
- VM `net[n]`: `[model=]<enum>[,bridge][,firewall=<1|0>][,link_down][,macaddr][,mtu]
[,queues][,rate][,tag=<int>][,trunks][,<model>=<macaddr>]`. Applied immediately.
- VM `ipconfig[n]`: `[gw=<IPv4>][,gw6=<IPv6>][,ip=<IPv4/CIDR|dhcp>][,ip6=<IPv6/CIDR|dhcp|auto>]`
(cloud-init; "no explicit gateway with dhcp"). Applies at the next boot.
- `delete=<list>` removes settings (used when `ipconfigN` ends up empty).
- `get node network <node> -o json` -> list of dicts with `iface`, `type`
(`bridge`, `OVSBridge`, `eth`, ...), `active`.
- Cloud-init drive: a disk value containing `cloudinit`
(`ide2 = local-lvm:vm-108-cloudinit,media=cdrom`).
### `cli.py`
- `bridges(guest) -> list[str]` - `iface` of entries with type `bridge` or `OVSBridge`
on the guest's node, sorted.
- `format_net(d: dict) -> str` - inverse of `parse_net`: `k=v` joined by `,`, order
kept. `format_net(parse_net(s)) == s` for the real samples.
- `has_cloudinit(config) -> bool`.
- `apply_link(net, bridge, tag, firewall) -> dict` - a copy of `net`: `bridge` set;
`tag` int 1-4094 or None (None removes `tag`); `firewall` True -> `"1"`, False ->
`firewall` removed. Existing keys keep their position; new keys are appended.
- `ip_mode(cfg, family) -> tuple[str, str, str]` - `(mode, cidr, gw)` read from a
parsed LXC net or VM ipconfig dict; family 4 uses `ip`/`gw`, 6 uses `ip6`/`gw6`.
Modes: `dhcp`, `static`, `none`, and for 6 also `auto`; `manual` reads as `none`.
- `apply_ip(cfg, family, mode, cidr="", gw="") -> dict` - copy with the family's keys
set: `dhcp`/`auto` -> `ip[6]=dhcp|auto`, gateway removed; `static` -> `ip[6]=<cidr>`,
`gw[6]` set if given else removed; `none` -> both removed. Validation (ValueError):
static needs a CIDR of the right family with a `/prefix`
(`ipaddress.ip_interface`); a gateway must be an address of the same family; `auto`
only for family 6.
- `set_net(guest, changes: dict[str, str | None])` -> one call:
`set <kind> config <node> <vmid> [--<key> <value> ...] [--delete <k1,k2>] --wait`;
`None` values go to `--delete`. Empty `changes` -> ValueError.
### `app.py` (UI contract)
- Key `n` in InfoScreen opens `NetScreen` for the guest (needs the loaded config;
nothing if the guest has no `netN`).
- `NetScreen(ModalScreen)`: `Select#iface` (netN keys), `Select#bridge`
(`cli.bridges`), `Input#tag` (empty = none), `Checkbox#firewall`, `Select#ipv4`
(`dhcp`/`static`/`none`), `Input#ipv4_cidr`, `Input#ipv4_gw`, `Select#ipv6`
(`auto` labelled SLAAC / `dhcp` / `static` / `none`), `Input#ipv6_cidr`,
`Input#ipv6_gw`, buttons `#apply` / `#cancel`; escape = cancel. Prefilled from the
current values of the selected interface; changing `#iface` prefills again.
VM without cloud-init: IP widgets disabled and `Static#ip_note` explains why.
- Apply: build the new netN (and for VMs the new ipconfigN) with `apply_link` /
`apply_ip`; ValueError -> error notify, screen stays open, no CLI call. No change ->
info notify, nothing else. Otherwise `ConfirmScreen` listing each changed key with
its old and new value (raw strings); for a running guest it says link changes apply
immediately, and for VM ipconfig that it applies at next boot.
- On yes: guest busy (refuse if busy), worker runs `cli.set_net(guest, changes)`,
done/error notify, busy released, InfoScreen reloads. On success the old values
(`None` for keys that did not exist) are stored as the guest's undo entry.
- Live finding (CT 104): Proxmox applies a changed `ip` on a running CT, but static ->
dhcp left the CT without IPv4 (no DHCP client restart) until the CT was rebooted.
The confirm therefore says, for IP changes on a running container, that a reboot of
the container may be needed. Proxmox re-orders keys when it stores `netN`.
- Review fixes: undo entries are cleared on a context switch (VMIDs repeat across
clusters); `has_cloudinit` only looks at disk keys; CIDR needs a decimal prefix
1-32 / 1-128 (no netmask form, no /0); fields the user did not touch are not rewritten
(e.g. `ip6=manual` stays).
- Key `u` in InfoScreen: no undo entry -> info notify. Otherwise `ConfirmScreen`
showing what will be restored, then `cli.set_net(guest, old_values)` the same way;
the undo entry is cleared after success.
## Steps
- [x] Tests - red first.
- [x] Implementation - suite green, ruff clean, README keys `n` / `u`.
- [x] Live on CT 104 (approved), each step reverted: firewall off->on->off; VLAN
none->99->none (undo key); IPv6 SLAAC->DHCP->SLAAC; IPv4 DHCP->static
172.16.41.200/23 gw 172.16.40.1->DHCP. Bridge change cannot be tested live: the
node has a single bridge (`vmbr0`). Final net0 string identical to the baseline.
- [ ] Push `feat/network-edit`, merge to `main` (ask first).

# Snapshots in the info screen (issue #8)
## Decision (user-approved)
Info screen section "Snapshots"; keys `p` take, `R` roll back, `D` delete. LXC and VM.
CLI facts (cv4pve-cli 2.4.0, read-only probes):
- `get guest snapshots <node> <qemu|lxc> <vmid> -o json` -> list of dicts: `name`,
`description`, `snaptime` (epoch or null), `parent`, VM also `vmstate`. Always
contains a pseudo entry `name == "current"` ("You are here!") - not a snapshot.
- `create ct|vm snapshot <node> <vmid> <snapname> <descr>` (+ `--vmstate 1` for VM RAM),
no `--yes`; with `--wait`.
- `do rollback ct|vm <node> <vmid> <snapname>` needs `-y`; API param `start` (bool)
starts the guest after a successful rollback.
- `delete ct|vm snapshot <node> <vmid> <snapname>` needs `-y`.
DANGER: `delete ct|vm <node> <vmid> -y` (without `snapshot`) DESTROYS THE WHOLE GUEST.
### `cli.py`
- `valid_snapname(name) -> str` - ValueError unless it matches
`[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_-]{0,39}` and is not `current` (case-insensitive).
- `snapshots(guest) -> list[dict]` - without `current`, newest first (`snaptime`
desc, null last).
- `take_snapshot(guest, name, description="", vmstate=False)` ->
`create <kind> snapshot <node> <vmid> <name> <description or "cv4pve-tui">
[--vmstate 1 (VM only)] --wait`; name validated first.
- `rollback_snapshot(guest, name, start=False)` ->
`do rollback <kind> <node> <vmid> <name> [--start 1] -y --wait`; name validated.
- `delete_snapshot(guest, name)` ->
`delete <kind> snapshot <node> <vmid> <name> -y --wait`; name validated first, and
the argv is asserted to contain `snapshot` right after the kind and the name right
after the vmid (defence against ever sending the guest-destroying form).
### `app.py` (UI contract)
- InfoScreen gets `Vertical#snapshots_section` (border_title "Snapshots") with
`DataTable#snapshots` (Name, Date `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM` or `-`, Description, and for VMs
RAM `yes`/`no`) and `Static#snap_note`. Loaded with the rest; a failure of
`cli.snapshots` is shown in `#snap_note` ("unavailable: <summary>"), the rest of the
screen still works. Empty list -> `#snap_note` "No snapshots".
- `p`: `SnapshotScreen` dialog (DialogScreen style, title "Take snapshot: <name>
(<vmid>)"): `Input#snapname` prefilled `tui_YYYYMMDD_HHMM` (local time),
`Input#snapdesc`, `Checkbox#vmstate` (VMs only; not shown for CTs), buttons
`#yes`/`#no`, escape = no. Invalid name -> error notify, dialog stays, no call.
Yes -> busy guard, worker `cli.take_snapshot`, done/error notify, info reloads.
- `R`: roll back the snapshot under the cursor of `#snapshots`. `ConfirmScreen`
titled "Roll back" naming snapshot and date and saying everything changed since then
is lost; if the guest is running (live status) it says it will be started again and
`start=True` is passed. Yes -> busy guard, worker, notify, info reloads.
- `D`: delete the snapshot under the cursor. `ConfirmScreen` titled "Delete snapshot"
naming it. Yes -> busy guard, worker `cli.delete_snapshot`, notify, info reloads.
- `R`/`D` with no snapshot -> info notify, no dialog.
## Steps
- [x] Tests - red first. - [x] Implementation - suite green, ruff clean, README keys.
- Review fixes: rollback reads the live status right before rolling back (if it cannot
be read, no rollback); the info screen scrolls; a description starting with `-` is
refused (positional argument).
- [x] Live on CT 104: take `tui_live_test`, listed; roll back (CT running -> started
again); delete; list back to the baseline (no snapshots); CT running.
- [ ] PR with `Closes #8`, merge after user OK.

# Live usage: CPU %, memory used, disk used (issue #12)
## Decision (user-approved)
Usage in the main table and in the info screen's Resources section. Values refresh with
the listing (`g`, after actions); no auto-refresh and no rrddata trend (out of scope).
CLI facts (read-only probes):
- `get guests -o json` per guest: `cpu` (fraction of the guest's CPUs, 0..1; the web UI
shows `cpu*100` %), `mem`, `maxmem` (bytes), `disk`, `maxdisk` (bytes). Stopped guests
have 0s. VMs report `disk: 0` (no guest-agent disk info) - shown as `-`, not 0.
- `api get /nodes/<node>/<qemu|lxc>/<vmid>/status/current -o json` -> key/value list:
`status`, `cpu`, `cpus`, `mem`, `maxmem`, `disk`, `maxdisk`, `uptime`; CTs also
`swap`, `maxswap`; VMs also `freemem`, `balloon`.
### `cli.py`
- `current(guest) -> dict` - the status/current key/value list as a dict.
- `status(guest)` keeps its behaviour (returns `current(guest)["status"]`), argv
unchanged.
### `app.py`
- Main table: two new columns at the end, "CPU %" and "Mem %": `cpu*100` and
`mem/maxmem*100`, one decimal; `-` for a guest that is not running or lacks the field.
- Info screen Resources table gets a header and a third column: Resource | Configured |
In use. The load uses `cli.current(guest)` (one call) for both the live status and the
usage. In use, only when running:
- CPU: `<cpu*100:.1f> %`
- Memory: `<mem MiB> MiB (<pct:.0f> %)`
- Swap (CT): `<swap MiB> MiB`
- Disk rootfs (CT): `<disk GiB:.1f> GiB (<pct:.0f> %)`; other disks and all VM disks `-`
- otherwise `-`.
A failure of `cli.current` keeps today's behaviour (inline "unavailable", status
unknown -> not running).

# Task log (issue #10)
## Decision (user-approved)
`l` on the main screen: all recent cluster tasks. `l` on the info screen: the tasks of
that guest. Enter on a task shows its log.
CLI facts (read-only probes):
- `task list -o json` lacks start/end times. `api get /cluster/tasks -o json` has them:
list of dicts `upid`, `type` (e.g. `vzdump`, `qmstart`, `vzsnapshot`), `id` (VMID as a
string, `""` for node tasks), `node`, `user`, `starttime`, `endtime` (epoch; missing
or null while running), `status` (`OK`, an error text, or missing while running),
`saved`, `tokenid`.
- `task log <upid>` prints the log as plain text lines (e.g. `TASK OK` at the end).
### `cli.py`
- `tasks() -> list[dict]` - `/cluster/tasks`, newest first by `starttime`.
- `task_log(upid) -> str` - `task log <upid>`; ValueError unless `upid` starts with
`UPID:` (positional argument).
### `app.py` (UI contract)
- `TasksScreen(ModalScreen)`, opened by `l` on the main screen (all tasks) and on the
info screen (`vmid` filter: only tasks whose `id == str(vmid)`). Frame `#tasks_section`
titled "Tasks" or "Tasks: <name> (<vmid>)". `DataTable#tasks` (row cursor): Start
(`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM` local), Duration (`1h 2m`, `3m 12s`, `45s`; `running` without
endtime), Node, Type, VMID (`-` for node tasks), User, Status (`OK`, the error text, or
`running`). A failed task (status present and not `OK`) gets a `!` in a leading
column. `Static#tasks_note` says "No tasks" when empty. Loaded in a thread worker;
failure -> error notify, screen stays. Keys: `enter` open the log, `g` reload,
`escape` close.
- `TaskLogScreen` (DialogScreen style, wide box), title "Log: <type> <vmid or node>",
a read-only plain-text log widget `#tasklog` (no markup parsing), loaded in a worker;
failure -> error notify. `escape` closes.
- Main-screen footer shows `l Tasks`.
