 # Changelog

 ## [Unreleased]

-### Added
- **Full-screen backup screen** (`view=runbackup`) for both pre-update and manual backups, modelled on Akeeba's Backup-on-Update — replaces the earlier popup-modal approach. Clicking Joomla's **Install the update** now redirects (server-side, Akeeba-style) to a dedicated full-page backup screen that runs the stepped backup with a real progress bar and then **automatically continues the update** via a validated `returnurl` (flagged `is_backed_up=1` so the backup isn't repeated). Crucially, **no backup runs synchronously inside the update request** — which is what white-screened large sites. The dashboard **Backup Now** now opens the same full-screen screen instead of an inline modal. (#196)
- Retention now prunes **remote** copies too: when a backup is pruned by age/count, its archive is deleted from every enabled remote destination (SFTP / FTP / S3 / Google Drive), not just the local copy. Each uploader gained an idempotent `delete()` method (already-absent file = success), and removal is best-effort — a failing destination is logged but never blocks local pruning. The shared standalone `restore.php` is intentionally left in place (every backup overwrites it, so newer backups still depend on it). (#229)
+## [02.54.00] --- 2026-07-04

-### Changed
- Consolidated backup plumbing into shared helpers (#230):
-  - New `RemoteUploaderFactory` replaces the `createUploaderFromParams()` copy that was duplicated in `BackupEngine` and `SteppedBackupEngine`.
-  - `RetentionManager` is now the single retention authority — it takes the global `max_age_days`/`max_backups` fallback and gained `pruneOrphans()`; the system plugin's hourly cleanup delegates to it and its duplicate `deleteBackupRecord()` logic is removed.
-  - The backend controller, Web Services API controller, and legacy `cli/mokosuitebackup.php` now run backups through the shared `BackupRunner` (gaining the normalized complete/warning/fail status) instead of instantiating `BackupEngine` directly.
+## [02.53.00] --- 2026-07-04

-### Fixed
- Package installer is now **honest about success**: the postflight no longer prints "installed successfully" / next-steps when the install actually failed or only partially completed. Joomla logs a failed child extension but still runs the package postflight, so the postflight now (a) verifies every bundled child declared in the manifest actually registered in `#__extensions` (matched by element + type, and folder/group for plugins) and (b) verifies the component's schema tables — derived dynamically from the installed `install.mysql.sql` — actually exist. If anything is missing it enqueues an error listing what's missing and stops before the success message. Fail-open: any manifest/DB/IO glitch is treated as "nothing missing" so a transient error never turns a good install into a false failure. Unconditional housekeeping (e.g. download-key restore) still runs regardless.
- Pre-update full-screen backup screen now actually triggers on **Joomla 6** (and 4/5). The redirect matched only the legacy `update.install` task, which Joomla 4/5/6 don't use — they server-side-redirect to the **updating page `view=update`**, which then extracts the downloaded package from JavaScript. The plugin now intercepts the `view=update` page **load** (the last point before any files change) and returns the browser there flagged `is_backed_up=1` so the extraction proceeds after the backup. (`update.finalise` is intentionally not intercepted — by then the files are already extracted.)
- Pre-update/uninstall backup no longer **white-screens** the update on large sites. The synchronous backup that runs inside the extension update/uninstall request now raises `max_execution_time`/`memory_limit` (and `ignore_user_abort`) like the web-cron path, so it can't exhaust the request's default limits mid-backup. (Core Joomla updates additionally get a full-screen backup screen — see below.)
- Archive names for **CLI/console-triggered backups** no longer come out as `joomla.invalid_…`. The `[HOST]` placeholder took `$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']` verbatim, but Joomla's console fills that with the reserved sentinel host `joomla.invalid`; the resolver now treats that (like empty/`localhost`) as unusable and falls back to the configured `live_site` host, then the system hostname. (Set the site's *live_site* to get the exact domain in CLI-built names.)
- Standalone restore script generation no longer aborts backups with `str_replace() expects at least 3 arguments, 2 given`. `MokoRestore::generateStandaloneScript()` had a `str_replace()` call (the "Backup Archive" pre-check rewrite) that was missing its `$php` subject argument, so **every** standalone-mode backup fatally errored while "Generating standalone restore.php…" — the archive still finalized and uploaded, but no `restore.php` was ever produced (the true root cause behind #226). (#226)
- Remote upload: the standalone restore script upload is no longer silent — its result is now checked and logged, and a failed restore-script upload marks the backup as `warning` (previously the result was discarded, so a missing restore script on the remote went unreported while the archive still showed success). (#226)
+## [02.53.00] --- 2026-07-04

-## [02.58.00] --- 2026-07-06
+## [02.52.24] --- 2026-06-30

-### Added
- SFTP destinations: **upload an SSH private key file** in the Add/Edit Destination modal instead of pasting it (reads the file into the key field client-side; pasting still works).

-### Changed
- Add/Edit Destination modal: wrap the content in a Bootstrap `.container-fluid` and give it a 1rem padding frame via the WAM stylesheet (Bootstrap's `.modal-content` has no padding of its own).
-
-### Fixed
- Pre-update backup now shows an admin notification on **every** outcome (success / warning / failure) — previously a *successful* pre-update backup fired nothing, so it looked like the notification wasn't working. (#192)
-
-### Changed
- Component admin CSS now loads via the Joomla **Web Asset Manager** (`media/com_mokosuitebackup/` + `joomla.asset.json`) instead of an inline `<style>` block.
- "Keep local copy" is configured **per remote destination** (in the Add/Edit Destination modal); the redundant profile-level field and its "Remote" tab are removed.
- Add/Edit Destination modal: cleaned up the cramped padding/margins.
-
-### Fixed
- Admin menu / duplicate-component fallout: (a) the orphaned `com_component-mokosuitebackup` is now removed in **preflight** too, so its "Backup" menu no longer collides on install ("The alias backup is already being used"); (b) `ensureSubmenuItems()` **recreates the top-level "Backup" menu** if it was deleted, instead of giving up — so Backup no longer disappears from the admin menu (and the cPanel module / MokoSuiteClient can find it again); (c) the component menu label now uses the short constant `COM_MOKOJOOMBACKUP_SHORT`. (#213 fallout)
- Installer no longer aborts on MySQL 8 with "This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet" (error 1295). The legacy remote-column purge migration (`02.56.01.sql`) used `PREPARE`/`EXECUTE`/`DEALLOCATE`, which Joomla's installer rejects; the drop now runs in the package installer script via an INFORMATION_SCHEMA-gated plain `ALTER` (portable across MariaDB and MySQL 8). (#213 update path)
-
-## [02.57.00] --- 2026-07-05
-
-### Added
- `BackupRunner` service — a single synchronous entry point for backups that unifies final status and notification gating across the pre-update, web-cron, pre-install, scheduled-task and CLI triggers (delegates to `BackupEngine`; no double-notify). Returns a normalized result including the real complete/warning/fail status. Dashboard "Backup Now" (AJAX) unchanged; installer progress popup deferred to #196. (#214)
-
-### Fixed
- Release automation: the changelog-promote step is now idempotent — it only inserts a `## [version]` header when that version isn't already present, preventing the empty, duplicated version headers that repeated/same-version builds were producing. (workflow)
-
-## [02.56.11] --- 2026-07-05
-
-### Fixed
- Package `postflight` now removes the orphaned `com_component-mokosuitebackup` registration (stray extension record, admin menu items, schema rows, and `administrator/` folder) left behind by the old "Type - Name" component `<name>` — self-healing on update so affected sites reconcile to the real `com_mokosuitebackup`. (#213 follow-up)
-
-## [02.56.08] --- 2026-07-05
-
-### Fixed
- Component manifest `<name>` reverted to the element-safe `MokoSuiteBackup`. The "Type - Name" convention derived element `com_component-mokosuitebackup`, registering a duplicate component and leaving the real `com_mokosuitebackup` orphaned on the old version. (#213)
-
-## [02.56.07] --- 2026-07-05
-
-### Security
- Mask the FTP password in `AjaxController::maskSecrets()`/`mergeExistingSecrets()` — stored FTP remotes no longer leak their password via `listRemotes`. (#169)
- Stop the API single-item view (`Backups/JsonapiView`) leaking the server `absolute_path`. (#187)
- SFTP uploader uses `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` instead of `no`. (#182)
-
-### Fixed
- `DatabaseDumper` writes a real newline after `DROP TABLE` (was a literal `\n`). (#179)
- Profile-picker forms order by `id` instead of the dropped `ordering` column. (#180)
- `uninstall.mysql.sql` now drops the snapshots table. (#181)
- CLI snapshot delete uses the `data_file` column (was non-existent `file_path`). (#184)
- Remove the duplicate pre-update backup (content plugin no longer subscribes to `onExtensionBeforeUpdate`). (#186)
- `DatabaseImporter` collects non-fatal statement errors (`getErrors()`/`hasErrors()`). (#188)

- * Every non-interactive trigger — the web-cron handler, the pre-install /

- * (The dashboard's AJAX "Backup Now" is the interactive equivalent, driven by

- * BackupEngine::run() already sends notifications (gated by the profile's

- * DELEGATES rather than reimplementing that logic — there is exactly one
