Juan DenisandClaude Opus 4.8 eab1a35794 docs: sync docs with dev, add CHANGELOG/SECURITY, document Windows agent
dev was ~149 commits ahead of the last release with no changelog and several
stale docs. This brings the user-facing docs in line with what actually ships.

New:
- CHANGELOG.md — curates the unreleased panel work (agent fleet, plugins,
  status pages, cloud provisioning, RHEL support, installer hardening).
- agent/CHANGELOG.md — the agent release workflow links to this on every
  published release; it was a broken link. Now documents the agent's
  independent release line.
- SECURITY.md — vulnerability reporting policy + agent trust model
  (agent.key is host-equivalent; Features.Exec off by default; single-worker).

Fixes:
- Stale version stamps: docs/README.md and docs/API.md said 0.9.0 -> 1.6.7.
- Supported OS: README/INSTALLATION said Ubuntu/Debian only; installer also
  covers Fedora and RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux.
- Dead links/placeholders: API.md wiki link, INSTALLATION.md "yourusername".
- Windows agent + short-code pairing were undocumented; added to README,
  agent/README.md, and docs/pairing.md (incl. corrected host-stable
  credential-key derivation — USERNAME was dropped in agent 1.6.14).
- Documented the single gevent-websocket-worker deployment constraint in
  CLAUDE.md and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: removed reference to a non-existent frontend test suite.

Security Policy

Supported Versions

ServerKit is under active development. Security fixes are applied to the latest release line and the main branch.

Version Supported
1.6.x ✅
< 1.6 ❌ (please upgrade)

The agent is versioned independently (agent-vX.Y.Z); always run a recent agent build, as several Windows service and credential-handling fixes landed in the 1.6.x line.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please report security issues privately — do not open a public issue for anything exploitable.

Please include affected version(s), reproduction steps, and impact. Coordinated disclosure is appreciated — give us a reasonable window to ship a fix before any public write-up.

Agent Trust Model

The multi-server agent is powerful by design — operators should understand its trust boundaries:

  • agent.key is a host-equivalent secret. Agent API credentials are stored AES-256-GCM encrypted under a key derived from host-stable identifiers (hostname + machine ID on Linux, hostname + computer name on Windows). Anyone who can read this file on the host — or recreate the host-derived key — can recover the credentials. Protect it like a root/SYSTEM secret.
  • Remote command execution is gated. Arbitrary command execution (system:exec) and interactive PTY sessions are controlled by the agent's Features.Exec flag, which is off by default. Enable it only on servers where you intend the panel to run shell commands.
  • Transport & connection controls. Agents authenticate to the panel with per-connection HMAC-SHA256 (with nonce/replay protection and a timestamp-skew check), and the panel enforces a per-server IP allowlist. Use wss:// (TLS-terminated) in production.
  • SERVERKIT_INSECURE_TLS=true disables certificate verification for all agent connections. It is intended for local development/testing only — never set it in production.

For a detailed internal audit of the panel, see SECURITY_AUDIT.md.

Deployment Note

The agent gateway keeps all connected-agent state in-memory in a single process. Run the panel with a single gevent-websocket worker; multi-worker deployments can misroute agent commands. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.
