From 8dc11dc05a35a5d64ba4d2c892ccc01c7bfae3da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Besson Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 18:26:22 +0200 Subject: feat(node): systemd service panel on the Node page, and a clean CLI restart MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add a status panel at the top of the Node page — always visible, even before an MNP connection exists — showing the meshbay-node systemd unit's own state (via `systemctl --user show`, main process only) with Start/Stop/Restart controls. This is the piece the rest of the page cannot provide: it has to work while the daemon is stopped or crash- looping, which the MNP-based sections require the daemon to already answer. While touching node lifecycle: `reload` and `restart-daemon` in the CLI shelled out to pgrep + SIGTERM/SIGHUP and respawned the process by hand, logging to a hardcoded /tmp path. That pattern already SIGHUPed a developer's own running node by accident once (see the old test_cli_dispatch.py comment). Both now delegate to `systemctl --user reload|restart meshbay-node`, which the unit already supports correctly (ExecReload=, Restart=on-failure).
