# Investigation Findings: Remote Add Failure and Updater Errors

## Executive Summary

This investigation identified **two critical issues** in the Tauri application:

1. **Remote add failure**: The `add_proxmox_cluster` command is defined and registered, but the error "Failed to add remote" occurs due to missing error handling in the frontend.
2. **Updater errors**: The updater commands (`check_app_updates`, `get_update_channel`, `set_update_channel`) are **NOT registered** in the Tauri command handler, causing "Command not found" errors.

## Issue 1: Remote Add Failure

### Root Cause Analysis

The error "Failed to add remote" occurs in `/src/pages/Proxmox/RemotesPage.tsx` at line 64 and is propagated from the backend `add_proxmox_cluster` command.

#### Code Flow:

1. **Frontend**: `RemotesPage.tsx` → `handleAddRemote()` (line 55-76)
   - Calls `addProxmoxCluster()` from `proxmoxClient.ts`
   - Catches error and displays toast notification

2. **Frontend Wrapper**: `proxmoxClient.ts` (line 17-33)
   ```typescript
   export async function addProxmoxCluster(
     id: string,
     name: string,
     clusterType: ClusterType,
     connection: { url: string; port: number },
     username: string,
     password: string
   ): Promise<ClusterInfo> {
     return await invoke<ClusterInfo>("add_proxmox_cluster", {
       id, name, cluster_type: clusterType, connection, username, password
     });
   }
   ```

3. **Backend Command**: `src-tauri/src/commands/proxmox.rs` (line 35-105)
   - **IS registered** in `lib.rs` at line 226
   - Stores credentials encrypted in database
   - Creates in-memory client pool (unauthenticated)

#### Current Implementation Status:

- ✅ Command is registered: `commands::proxmox::add_proxmox_cluster` (line 226)
- ✅ Command implementation exists in `proxmox.rs`
- ✅ Database migration 034 added `username` column
- ⚠️ Error handling: Frontend catches and displays error, but backend error details may not be descriptive

#### Recent Changes (Commit 87ccbb64):
- Removed live authentication requirement during cluster add
- Credentials are now stored encrypted and used on first API call
- Added `username` column to database schema

## Issue 2: Updater Errors

### Root Cause Analysis

The updater commands are **DEFINED** but **NOT REGISTERED** in the Tauri command handler.

#### Missing Commands:

| Command | Location | Status |
|---------|----------|--------|
| `check_app_updates` | `system.rs:498` | ✅ Defined ❌ NOT REGISTERED |
| `get_update_channel` | `system.rs:589` | ✅ Defined ❌ NOT REGISTERED |
| `set_update_channel` | `system.rs:598` | ✅ Defined ❌ NOT REGISTERED |
| `install_app_updates` | `system.rs:579` | ✅ Defined ❌ NOT REGISTERED |

#### Current Command Registration:

**File**: `src-tauri/src/lib.rs` (lines 243-258)

```rust
// System / Settings
commands::system::check_ollama_installed,
commands::system::get_ollama_install_guide,
commands::system::list_ollama_models,
commands::system::pull_ollama_model,
commands::system::delete_ollama_model,
commands::system::detect_hardware,
commands::system::recommend_models,
commands::system::get_settings,
commands::system::update_settings,
commands::system::get_audit_log,
commands::system::get_app_version,
commands::system::set_sudo_password,
commands::system::get_sudo_config_status,
commands::system::test_sudo_password,
commands::system::clear_sudo_password,
```

**MISSING**:
- `commands::system::check_app_updates`
- `commands::system::get_update_channel`
- `commands::system::set_update_channel`
- `commands::system::install_app_updates`

#### Frontend Usage:

**File**: `src/lib/tauriCommands.ts` (lines 652-662)

```typescript
export const checkAppUpdatesCmd = async (): Promise<UpdateCheckResult> =>
  invoke<UpdateCheckResult>("check_app_updates");

export const installAppUpdatesCmd = async (): Promise<void> =>
  invoke<void>("install_app_updates");

export const getUpdateChannelCmd = async (): Promise<string> =>
  invoke<string>("get_update_channel");

export const setUpdateChannelCmd = async (channel: string): Promise<void> =>
  invoke<void>("set_update_channel", { channel });
```

**File**: `src/pages/Settings/Updater.tsx` (lines 32, 52)
- Calls `checkAppUpdatesCmd()` and `setUpdateChannelCmd()`
- Both will fail with "Command not found" error

#### Recent Changes (Commit 87ccbb64):

**Before**: Used `tauri-plugin-updater` with `app.updater().check()`

**After**: Direct Gitea HTTP API call (lines 498-576 in `system.rs`)

```rust
let response = client
    .get(
        "https://gogs.tftsr.com/api/v1/repos/sarman/tftsr-devops_investigation/releases?limit=20",
    )
    .header("Accept", "application/json")
    .send()
    .await
```

Key improvements:
- Added update channel filtering (stable vs beta)
- Returns full release info (version, URL, notes)
- Uses `tauri-plugin-opener` for browser launch

## Files to Modify

### Fix 1: Updater Commands Registration

**File**: `src-tauri/src/lib.rs`

**Location**: Lines 253-258 (after `get_app_version`)

**Required Addition**:
```rust
commands::system::check_app_updates,
commands::system::install_app_updates,
commands::system::get_update_channel,
commands::system::set_update_channel,
```

### Fix 2: Remote Add Error Handling (Optional Enhancement)

**File**: `src-tauri/src/commands/proxmox.rs`

**Location**: Lines 35-105 (`add_proxmox_cluster`)

**Current Behavior**: Returns generic error from database or encryption failures

**Recommended Enhancement**: Add more descriptive error messages for:
- Invalid URL format
- Duplicate remote name
- Database connection issues
- Encryption failures

---

## Verification Steps

After applying fixes:

1. **Build the application**:
   ```bash
   cd src-tauri
   cargo build --release
   ```

2. **Test updater commands**:
   - Navigate to Settings > Updater
   - Verify channel selection works
   - Verify "Check Now" button works
   - Check browser opens on "Download Update"

3. **Test remote add**:
   - Navigate to Remotes page
   - Click "Add Remote"
   - Fill in configuration
   - Verify remote is added successfully
   - Check database entry in `proxmox_clusters` table
