The dashboard's /api/* proxy hardcoded 127.0.0.1 as the target host.
That works when the API binds to a wildcard or to loopback, but
breaks the moment an operator binds the API to a specific address —
e.g. a Tailscale IP for tailnet-only deploys: the API stops listening
on loopback entirely and the proxy gets ECONNREFUSED on every request.
The web command now reads DECNET_API_HOST and falls back to loopback
only when the API is on a wildcard (0.0.0.0 / :: / unset). A new
--api-host flag overrides at the CLI level.
The web bundle proxy handled GET/POST/PUT/DELETE but not PATCH or
preflight OPTIONS, which broke browser calls to PATCH endpoints behind
the static-bundle server. CORS middleware had the same gap.
The 1,878-line cli.py held every Typer command plus process/HTTP helpers
and mode-gating logic. Split into one module per command using a
register(app) pattern so submodules never import app at module scope,
eliminating circular-import risk.
- utils.py: process helpers, _http_request, _kill_all_services, console, log
- gating.py: MASTER_ONLY_* sets, _require_master_mode, _gate_commands_by_mode
- deploy.py: deploy + _deploy_swarm (tightly coupled)
- lifecycle.py: status, teardown, redeploy
- workers.py: probe, collect, mutate, correlate
- inventory.py, swarm.py, db.py, and one file per remaining command
__init__.py calls register(app) on each module then runs the mode gate
last, and re-exports the private symbols tests patch against
(_db_reset_mysql_async, _kill_all_services, _require_master_mode, etc.).
Test patches retargeted to the submodule where each name now resolves.
Enroll-bundle tarball test updated to assert decnet/cli/__init__.py.
No behavioral change.
