Sanitize codebase, reorganize docs, and add missing deploy files

Remove dead code identified in docs/SANITIZATION-REVIEW.md:
- app/blueprints/content_old.py and app/blueprints/playlist.py
- app/models/group.py, app/utils/nginx_config_reader.py
- orphaned templates (content_list, edit_content, upload_content,
  player_page) and the related group/Template references

Result: 6 blueprints, 82 routes, no dead modules or orphan templates.

Add files that deploy.sh and docker-entrypoint.sh already require but
which were never tracked:
- https_manager.py       (referenced by deploy.sh, migrate_network.sh,
                          docker-entrypoint.sh)
- Caddyfile.example      (seeded by deploy.sh; its absence aborts deploy)

Relocate generated Graphify artifacts from graphify-out/ to
docs/graphify-out/ (110 files, no content change) and archive the
superseded docs under docs/.

Ignore hygiene:
- ignore ad-hoc .env backups (.env.bak*) — they contain live secrets
- keep the pre-sanitization snapshots (docs/legacy code/,
  docs/old_code_documentation/) on disk but out of the repo

Fix .env.example: drop a duplicated config block, genericize the
hardcoded host IP, and document HOSTNAME_INTERNAL.

-        - HTTPS disabled / no domain → HTTP-only on port 80 (initial deploy mode).
+        ------------
-        - HTTPS enabled + real domain → Caddy auto-provisions a Let's Encrypt cert
+        * **One HTTP endpoint** (port 80) that always answers, whatever the Host
-          for that domain; HTTP redirects to HTTPS automatically.
+          header is — so ``http://<ip>`` and ``http://<hostname>`` both work.
-        - HTTPS enabled + IP only (no domain) → TLS with Caddy's internal CA
+        * **HTTPS on port 443** for the same names when it is enabled.
-          (self-signed, trusted within the Docker network).
+        * If HTTPS is disabled or never configured, port 80 simply serves the
+          app — there is no separate "HTTP mode" to configure.
+
+        Behaviour by configuration
+        --------------------------
+        * HTTPS off, or no address configured → plain HTTP on ``:http_port``.
+        * HTTPS on → the app is served on port 80 for every configured name and
+          on port 443 over TLS. Whether port 80 *serves* or *redirects* to
+          HTTPS is controlled by ``http_fallback``.
+
+        Which certificate each name gets
+        --------------------------------
+        * ``domain`` (when set) → Caddy obtains a certificate automatically
+          (Let's Encrypt/ACME). Only valid for a **publicly resolvable** name.
+        * ``ip_address`` / ``hostname`` → ``tls internal`` (Caddy's local CA).
+          This needs no public DNS and no ACME, which is the right choice for an
+          intranet name such as ``digiserver.sibiusb.harting.intra``.
+
+        Args:

@@ -8,12 +8,25 @@ Admins use the "Build player files" admin page to:
 
 The SSH deployment flow then ships this staged directory to player devices, so
 the version admins build here is exactly what gets deployed.
+
+Performance note
+----------------
+The player repository is large (~200 MB) and a full clone takes ~90 s. Because
+the build runs inside an HTTP request, that would exceed gunicorn's worker
+timeout and the worker would be killed mid-clone, leaving a broken checkout.
+Two mitigations are used together:
+
+  * **Shallow clones** (``--depth 1``) — only the tip of the requested branch is
+    fetched, which is all a deployment needs. Drastically reduces transfer size.
+  * **Background execution** — the admin route starts the build in a daemon
+    thread and the page polls for progress, so no worker ever blocks on git.

+4. Run the **migration chain** (idempotent, ordered — table-creating migrations run before those that alter them):
+

+add_player_user_table.py

+5. Start **Gunicorn**: `--bind 0.0.0.0:5000 --workers 4 --timeout 120 app.app:create_app('production')`.

 ## 6. HTTPS Setup (Caddy)
 
-HTTPS is configured through the **Admin → HTTPS Configuration** page, which:
+Three equivalent entry points drive the **same** code path
+(`HTTPSConfig` + `CaddyConfigGenerator`) so CLI, env bootstrap and UI cannot diverge:
+
+1. **Env bootstrap (deploy time)** — the container entrypoint runs
+   `python /app/https_manager.py bootstrap`, which reads `HOSTNAME_INTERNAL` and
+   `HOST_IP` from the environment and configures Caddy for HTTPS automatically.
+2. **CLI** — `python /app/https_manager.py enable … | verify | status | disable`
+3. **UI** — *Admin → HTTPS Configuration* (reloads Caddy live; the ongoing source of truth)
+
+### Addressing model — one HTTP endpoint, one HTTPS endpoint
+
+| Port | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| **80** | Always answers. A catch-all `:80` block serves **any** Host header, plus explicit blocks for the IP and hostname so both work. |
+| **443** | HTTPS for the same names, using the internal CA (or ACME for a public domain). |
+
+If HTTPS is disabled or never configured, port 80 simply serves the app — there is
+no separate "HTTP mode" to set.
+
+> ⚠️ **`default_sni` is required for IP access.** Browsers send **no SNI** when the
+> URL is an IP address (an IP is not a valid SNI hostname). Caddy then identifies the
+> connection by the container's own internal IP and aborts the handshake with
+> `no certificate available for '<container-ip>'`. To prevent this, the generator emits
+> `default_sni <ip>` whenever internal-CA mode is used, so `https://<ip>` works in a
+> plain browser. This was found by end-to-end testing — see
+> `docs/tools/test_http_https_runtime.sh`.
+
+### Mode selection
+
+| Condition | Result |
+|---|---|
+| HTTPS off, or no IP/domain | Plain HTTP on port 80 |
+| HTTPS on + `ip_address` / `hostname` | `tls internal` per name (no DNS, no ACME) |
+| HTTPS on + `domain` set | Let's Encrypt for that name |
+
+### Automatic fallback if HTTPS does not work
+
+After applying a config, `https_manager.py` probes the HTTPS endpoint
+(`/api/health`, certificate validation deliberately disabled). If the TLS listener
+does not come up, the configuration is **automatically reverted to plain HTTP** so a
+failed certificate can never make the site unreachable:
+
+```
+enable HTTPS → reload Caddy → probe https://<host>:<port>/api/health
+                               ├─ OK   → keep HTTPS
+                               └─ FAIL → revert to HTTP-only, log a warning
+```
+
+Disable the probe with `HTTPS_VERIFY=false` (or `enable --no-verify`).
+Re-check at any time with `python /app/https_manager.py verify`.
+
+### Deploy-time bootstrap via `.env`
+
+Copy `.env.example` → `.env` and set the host address. `docker-compose.yml`
+forwards these to the app container:
+
+| Variable | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `HOSTNAME_INTERNAL` | Hostname served (both HTTP and HTTPS) |
+| `HOST_IP` | IP served and certified |
+| `DOMAIN` | **Leave empty for an intranet name** → internal CA. Set only for Let's Encrypt |
+| `SSL_EMAIL` | ACME contact (ignored by internal CA) |
+| `HTTP_PORT` / `HTTPS_PORT` | Host ports mapped to Caddy's 80/443 (default `80`/`443`) |
+| `HTTPS_HTTP_FALLBACK` | `true` (default) also serves plain HTTP; `false` redirects instead |
+| `HTTPS_VERIFY` | `true` (default) probe HTTPS and auto-fall back on failure |
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# set HOSTNAME_INTERNAL and HOST_IP
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+> **If either `HOSTNAME_INTERNAL` or `HOST_IP` is missing the bootstrap is a no-op** —
+> the app starts on plain HTTP and stays reachable. HTTPS can then be enabled from
+> *Admin → HTTPS Configuration*, which regenerates the Caddyfile and reloads Caddy
+> **without a restart**.
+
+### Who owns the config (env vs admin UI)
+
+The admin UI is the **ongoing source of truth**. The bootstrap runs on every container
+start, so it guards against silently overwriting an admin's change by tracking
+provenance in `HTTPSConfig.updated_by`:
+
+| Current config | Bootstrap behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| *(none — first deploy)* | Apply from env ✅ |
+| Written by env/CLI (`updated_by='deploy.sh'`) | Apply from env ✅ — so editing `HOST_IP` and redeploying works |
+| Written by a user (`updated_by='<username>'`) | **Skip** — the admin's setting is preserved |
+
+So an admin change made in the UI survives restarts even while the env vars remain set.
+
+### Why internal CA (and not Let's Encrypt) for `.intra`
+
+An intranet name such as `digiserver.sibiusb.harting.intra` is **not resolvable from the
+public internet**, so Let's Encrypt's HTTP-01/TLS-ALPN challenge cannot succeed. Setting
+`DOMAIN=` empty makes Caddy sign the certificate itself with its local CA — no external
+dependency at all.
+
+**Trust caveat:** the internal CA is not in any client trust store, so browsers show a
+warning and a Kivy player with `verify_ssl: true` will **reject the connection**. Options:
+
+1. **Use HTTP** — port 80 always serves the app, so players need no trust configuration.
+2. **Install the root CA** on each device:
+   ```
+   docker compose cp caddy:/data/caddy/pki/authorities/local/root.crt ./caddy-root.crt
+   ```
+
+### Ports
+
+| Host → Container | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `80 → 80` | HTTP (always available) |
+| `443 → 443` | HTTPS |
+| `5000 → 5000` | Direct app access (bypasses Caddy; dev/testing) |
+
+> Ports are configurable via `HTTP_PORT`/`HTTPS_PORT` so the stack also works where
+> 80/443 are already taken (e.g. `HTTP_PORT=8080 HTTPS_PORT=8443`).
+
 
-1. Saves `HTTPSConfig` (hostname, domain, IP, email, port, enabled).
-2. `CaddyConfigGenerator.generate_caddyfile(config)` picks a template:
-   - **HTTP-only** → `:80` reverse proxy
-   - **Domain** → automatic Let's Encrypt
-   - **IP** → internal CA self-signed
-3. Writes `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` and reloads Caddy via `POST http://caddy:2019/load`.
 
-The current `data/Caddyfile` (HTTP mode) includes: admin API on `0.0.0.0:2019`, `:80` block → `digiserver-app:5000`, 2 GB body limit, gzip, security headers, access log.

+# DigiServer v2 — Code Sanitization Review
+
+**Generated:** 2026-09-10
+**Snapshot:** `docs/legacy code/` (1.7 MB, 171 files, 49 Python files) — full restore point.
+
+Analysed **42 Python files / 240 functions / 104 routes / 32 templates** under `app/` and `migrations/`.
+
+> Review each section below and reply with the IDs you want deleted (e.g. `A1, A2, B1`).
+> Nothing is deleted until you confirm. Everything is recoverable from `docs/legacy code/`.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Status — Applied 2026-09-10
+
+**Removed (A1, A2, D1, D2):**
+
+| ID | Removed | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| A1 | `app/blueprints/content_old.py` | + 3 templates orphaned by its removal |
+| A2 | `app/utils/nginx_config_reader.py` | |
+| D1 | 5 group functions + their `__init__.py` exports | `get_player_status_info` kept (live) |
+| D2 | `app/models/group.py`, `Content.groups`, `Content.group_count` | |
+
+**Extra cleanup triggered by A1/D2:**
+- Deleted orphaned templates: `upload_content.html` (278), `edit_content.html` (11)
+- Removed the dead `groups` key from `/api/system-info` and `group_count` from `/api/content`
+- Removed the `'group_id': getattr(player, 'group_id', None)` compat shim from `/api/player-status`
+- Updated 8 documentation files
+
+**Also removed (B1, B2) — applied in a second pass:**
+
+| ID | Removed | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| B1 | `app/blueprints/playlist.py` (310 LOC) + its registration in `app.py` | Whole legacy blueprint; its only real route redirected to `content.manage_playlist_content` |
+| B2 | 3 routes in `players.py`: `reorder_content`, `reorder_playlist`, `remove_from_playlist` (~103 LOC) | Two queried nonexistent columns (`Content.player_id`, `Content.position`, `Player.playlist_version`) → guaranteed 500s |
+
+**Extra cleanup triggered by B1:**
+- Deleted `content_list.html` (202 lines) — its only remaining reference was `url_for('playlist.manage_playlist')`. It was **already orphaned** (no Python file rendered it) after `content_old.py` was deleted, so it has been removed for real this time.
+- Deleted `players/player_page.html` (227 lines) — it was **never rendered** by any view (the `players.player_page` route redirects to `manage_player`), so it was dead UI. Corrects the earlier "false positive" note below.
+
+> ⚠️ **Functional note:** `players.regenerate_auth_code` (`POST /players/<id>/regenerate-auth`) is now
+> referenced by **no template** — `player_page.html` was its only caller. The endpoint still works if
+> invoked directly. The equivalent control lives in `manage_player.html` via the quickconnect flow.
+> Restore `player_page.html` from `docs/legacy code/` if you want that button back.
+
+**Result (A + B + D combined):**
+```
+42 → 38 Python modules      9,311 → 8,296 LOC
+104 → 82 routes             32 → 28 templates
+7 → 6 blueprints            dead modules: 2 → 0, orphan templates: 0
+```
+
+**Verified:** all files compile; smoke test passes on a fresh DB (every API endpoint + key UI route returns
+< 500); `db.metadata` no longer registers `group`/`group_content`; app boots against a migrated copy of the
+real `dashboard.db` with all data intact; `app.blueprints` no longer contains `playlist`.
+
+> ⚠️ **Still open:** the real `data/instance/dashboard.db` predates the `original_filename` migration.
+> On startup the entrypoint now applies it automatically. To fix locally, run:

+## Section B — Legacy duplicate route surface  — ✅ **REMOVED**
+
+Two blueprints exposed **parallel implementations of the same operations**. Only the `content.*`
+versions were wired to the UI; the legacy ones had no template references.
+
+| ID | Target | LOC | Evidence | Risk |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **B1** ✅ | `app/blueprints/playlist.py` (whole file + registration) | 310 | Entire file was legacy per-player playlist. Its `manage_playlist` route did nothing but **redirect** to the modern `content.manage_playlist_content`. The other 6 routes had **no template reference**. | **Low–Med** |
+| **B2** ✅ | 3 routes in `players.py`: `reorder_content`, `reorder_playlist`, `remove_from_playlist` | ~103 | Superseded by `content.*`. Two queried nonexistent columns (`Content.player_id`, `.position`, `Player.playlist_version`) → guaranteed HTTP 500 if called. | **Low** |
+
+**Duplicate operation matrix**
+
+| Operation | Modern (LIVE) | Legacy (DEAD) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Add content | `content.add_content_to_playlist` | `playlist.add_to_playlist` |
+| Remove content | `content.remove_content_from_playlist` | `playlist.remove_from_playlist`, `players.remove_from_playlist` ⚠️broken |
+| Reorder | `content.reorder_playlist_content` | `playlist.reorder_playlist`, `players.reorder_content` ⚠️broken, `players.reorder_playlist` ⚠️broken |
+| Set duration | `content.update_playlist_content_duration` | `playlist.update_duration` |
+| Mute audio | `content.update_playlist_content_muted` | `playlist.update_muted` |
+| Toggle edit | `content.update_playlist_content_edit_enabled` | — |
+| Clear | — | `playlist.clear_playlist` |
+
+---
+
+## Section C — Broken code: references to columns that do not exist
+
+Confirmed against the live DB schema. These raised `AttributeError`/`OperationalError` at runtime.
+**All resolved by deleting A1 + B2.**
+
+| ID | Location | Broken reference | Reachable? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **C1** ✅ | `players.py:768,775` (`remove_from_playlist`) | `player.playlist_version` | Via route only (no UI link) |
+| **C2** ✅ | `players.py:~700` (`reorder_playlist`) | `Content.player_id`, `Content.position` | Via route only (no UI link) |
+| **C3** | `content_old.py:189-190` | `player.playlist_version` | No (dead module) |
+| **C4** | `content_old.py:50,57` | `content.player_id`, `player.group` | No (dead module) |
+
+> ✅ **Resolved by deleting A1 + B2.** If you keep those files, they must be rewritten.
+
+**Not a bug (verified by hand):** `Content._playlist_duration` /
+`._playlist_position` / `._playlist_muted` in `api.py` are set **dynamically** by
+`Playlist.get_content_ordered()`. These are intentional and work correctly — the
+static analyzer flags them because it only sees model class attributes.
+
+---
+
+## Section D — Legacy groups subsystem
+
+Groups are fully deprecated (0 rows, `/api/groups` already commented out), but the code lingers.
+
+| ID | Target | LOC | Evidence | Risk |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **D1** | 5 group functions in `app/utils/group_player_management.py`: `get_group_statistics`, `assign_player_to_group`, `bulk_assign_players_to_group`, `get_online_players_count`, `get_players_by_status` + their `__init__.py` exports | ~130 | **Zero callers outside the module.** All three group functions reference `player.group_id`, **which does not exist** → broken. | **Low** |
+| **D2** | `app/models/group.py` (Group model + `group_content` table) | 71 | Retained only because `Content.groups` FK relationship and `Content.group_count` reference it. Requires touching the Content model. | **Medium** |
+
+> ⚠️ **Keep:** `get_player_status_info()` (top of the same file) is **live** — used at
+> `players.py:28` and `players.py:432`. Only the group functions should go.
+
+---
+
+## Section E — Legacy redirect stubs
+
+Thin compatibility shims that only redirect to the modern UI. They're harmless but keep dead
+URL surface alive.
+
+| ID | Target | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| **E1** | `players.player_page` (`/players/<id>`) | Body is a single `redirect(url_for('players.manage_player'))`. Still `url_for`-referenced by 2 templates, so keeping it is fine. |
+| **E2** | `playlist.manage_playlist` (`/playlist/<id>`) | Part of B1 — already covered by deleting that file. |
+
+---
+
+## Section F — Orphan templates / assets
+
+| ID | Target | LOC | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| — | (none) | — | After the B1/B2 pass the codebase has **0 orphan templates**. |
+
+---
+
+## Recommended batches — ✅ **ALL APPLIED**
+
+| Batch | Contents | Total removed | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Batch 1 — Safe clean** | **A1, A2** | ~620 LOC | ✅ done |
+| **Batch 2 — Legacy playlist** | **B1, B2** | ~413 LOC | ✅ done |
+| **Batch 3 — Groups** | **D1** | ~130 LOC | ✅ done |
+| **Batch 4 — Group model** | **D2** | ~71 LOC | ✅ done |
+
+**Every batch was followed by:** compile-all + app-factory boot + route smoke test, so hidden
+dependencies were caught before moving on.
+
+---
+
+## How I verified this (so you can trust it)
+
+| Check | Method |
+|---|---|
+| Module reachability | AST import extraction + `register_blueprint` cross-reference |
+| Route usage | `url_for('endpoint')` **and** literal path matching against all templates/JS |
+| Broken columns | Compared every `var.attr` access against live SQLite `PRAGMA table_info` |
+| Dynamic attributes | Manually inspected `get_content_ordered()` to rule out false positives |

+## ⚠️ Rollback / hygiene notes
+
+1. **`docs/legacy code/` is excluded from the Docker image** (via `legacy code/` and
+   `**/legacy code/` in `.dockerignore`) so it never
+   ships to production or bloats the build.
+2. It is **not** git-ignored, so it will appear in `git status`. Decide:
+   - commit it as a recovery point, or
+   - add `legacy code/` to `.gitignore` if you'd rather rely on git history.
+3. Deleting files listed here is **not** recoverable from git unless committed first — the
+   `docs/legacy code/` copy is your safety net.
