  • Impact: API integration code will work correctly

CLI Parameters

  • Before: Extensive --health-check-* parameters that don't exist
  • After: Removed all non-existent health check CLI parameters
  • Impact: Users won't try to use parameters that cause errors

Library API Methods

  • Before: Incorrect method names like start_process(), wait_for_ready()
  • After: Correct method names like start(), removed non-existent methods
  • Impact: Rust library integration will compile and work

Environment Variables

  • Before: 10+ fictional environment variables like PMDAEMON_LOG_LEVEL
  • After: Only PMDAEMON_HOME (the one that actually works)
  • Impact: Environment configuration will work as documented

WebSocket API

  • Before: Claimed bidirectional communication with command sending
  • After: Clearly marked as read-only for security
  • Impact: Prevents security vulnerabilities from attempted command injection

Watch Mode

  • Before: Working file watching examples throughout documentation
  • After: Marked as "not yet implemented" with current status

  • Impact: Shell scripts will handle errors correctly

🔒 Security Improvements

Removed Dangerous API Endpoint

# This dangerous endpoint has been removed for security
# POST /api/processes - Could execute arbitrary commands

Enhanced Authentication & API Key Management

  • Auto-generated API keys - Secure keys created and saved automatically on first web server start
  • Persistent storage - Keys saved to ~/.pmdaemon/api-key and reused automatically
  • Simple management - show-api-key and regenerate-api-key commands
  • Environment variable support - PMDAEMON_API_KEY still works if needed
  • Cross-platform compatible - Works reliably on Windows, Linux, and macOS
# Auto-generates secure API key on first run
pmdaemon web

# Key management commands
pmdaemon show-api-key        # Display current key
pmdaemon regenerate-api-key  # Generate new key

🐛 Critical Bug Fixes

Fixed Uptime Monitoring

Issue: All processes showed 0s for uptime values
Root Cause: Monitoring data collected but never applied to processes
Fix: Added proper monitoring data application in update_monitoring_data()

// Fixed in src/manager.rs
for (id, metrics) in monitoring_data {
    if let Some(process) = processes.get_mut(&id) {
        process.update_monitoring(metrics.cpu_usage, metrics.memory_usage);
    }
}
