 # Changelog
+
 ## [Unreleased]

-## [01.45.00] --- 2026-06-28

-
-## [01.45.00] --- 2026-06-28
-
-## [01.43.35] --- 2026-06-28
+## [02.58.00] --- 2026-07-06

 ### Added
- Customizable restore script filename per backup profile (reduces discoverability on remote servers)
- MokoRestore standalone mode: multi-ZIP selector when multiple backup archives are present
- MokoRestore preflight: Joomla installation detection warning before overwriting an existing site
- MokoRestore error handling: try/catch on fetch calls, HTTP status checks, JSON parse recovery
- Download button on individual backup record detail toolbar
- Profile column in backup records list links to the profile edit view
+- 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
- Moved download, browse archive, and view log actions from backup list rows into the individual backup record view
- Removed "Run Backup" / "Backup Now" buttons from profiles list, profile edit toolbar, and backup records view (backups are triggered from the dashboard only)
- Removed ordering field from profiles; default sort is now by ID ascending
- MokoRestore cleanup and security messages now reference the actual script filename instead of hardcoded "restore.php"
+- 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
- SSH key indicator detection and missing delete language key
- Bootstrap 5 modal conversion for snapshots view (data-bs-dismiss, modal-footer, getOrCreateInstance)
- ntfy default URL changed from ntfy.sh to ntfy.mokoconsulting.tech
- Untranslated JFIELD_ORDERING_ASC / JFIELD_ORDERING_LABEL language keys replaced with component-specific keys
- Options page title now shows "MokoSuiteBackup Options" instead of raw language key
- Profile dropdown IDs in backup records and dashboard show "#ID — Title (type)" format
- MokoRestore stalling: unhandled promise rejections from network errors or non-JSON responses left UI in loading state
+- 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)

-## [01.43.00] --- 2026-06-24
+### 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.

-## [01.42.00] --- 2026-06-23
+### 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

-## [01.42.00] --- 2026-06-23
+### 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)

+-- portably across MariaDB and MySQL 8. `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS` is MariaDB-only
+-- (errors on MySQL 8); plain `DROP COLUMN` errors when a column is absent. The
+-- previous version gated the ALTER on INFORMATION_SCHEMA and ran it via
+-- PREPARE/EXECUTE/DEALLOCATE — but those statements are rejected by Joomla's
+-- installer SQL path (MySQL error 1295: "This command is not supported in the
+-- prepared statement protocol yet"), which ABORTED the whole component install.
+--
+-- The drop is now done in PHP (INFORMATION_SCHEMA gate + a plain ALTER for only the
