Moved MOTD/SSH setup for dev mode in LXC containers to run after installation and when containers are kept for debugging, improving reliability and clarity. Updated journalctl cleanup to avoid using $STD and suppress errors if systemd-journald is not initialized. Also refactored indentation in misc/api.func for consistency.
Introduces a new msg_dev function in core.func to standardize development/debugging messages. Updates build.func to use msg_dev for clearer dev mode output, replacing previous msg_custom and msg_info usages for MOTD/SSH setup and container debugging steps.
Introduces granular dev_mode flags (motd, keep, trace, pause, breakpoint, logs, dryrun) with a parser and exports for container builds. Enables persistent log directories when logs mode is active, supports dryrun and trace modes, and adds MOTD/SSH setup and breakpoint shell for debugging. Refactors related logic in build.func, core.func, and install.func for improved developer experience and debugging.
Introduces distinct BUILD_LOG and INSTALL_LOG variables for host and container operations, ensuring logs are properly captured and retrievable. Refactors silent execution and error handling to use the active log file, improves log copying after failures, and enhances context detection for log management. Also adds fallback logic for INSTALL_LOG initialization in install.func.
Expanded inline documentation and section headers across misc/api.func, misc/build.func, misc/core.func, misc/error_handler.func, and misc/install.func for improved maintainability and clarity. Refactored error handling to use centralized explain_exit_code and updated API telemetry/reporting logic. Enhanced modularity and structure of utility, validation, and setup functions, and improved comments for user guidance and developer onboarding.
Changed indentation from 4 spaces to 2 spaces for all functions in misc/core.func to improve consistency and readability. No functional changes were made.
Introduces a SESSION_ID variable for log file naming and tracking, updates log file paths to include timestamps and session IDs, and enhances error handling output to use custom message functions when available. Also improves log file management and user guidance for viewing logs, and refactors error handler to better support containerized environments.
Replaces many msg_info calls with msg_custom for more consistent and expressive status messages in build.func. Refines SSH client detection in core.func to better distinguish local, subnet, and external connections, and adds additional warnings for external SSH usage.
Introduced a new cleanup_lxc function in core.func to standardize and enhance system cleanup across scripts. Updated debian.sh and debian-install.sh to use this function instead of inline cleanup commands, improving maintainability and consistency. Also updated author and copyright information.
The ssh_check function was moved from build.func to core.func and enhanced to allow an override and to skip warnings for localhost connections. The shell_check function was simplified to directly check for Bash and provide clearer messaging. These changes centralize environment checks and improve user experience.
Enhanced the shell_check function to handle both 'bash' and '-bash' as valid shells, added a debug message to display the detected shell, and changed the exit code to 1 for clearer error signaling.
Reworks the app defaults save/update logic in misc/build.func to support updating existing defaults with a diff and interactive menu, and adds robust var_* parsing and whitelisting. Removes legacy error and curl handler functions from misc/core.func, streamlining error handling and reducing code duplication.
Expanded explain_exit_code with more exit codes for various tools (APT, Node.js, Python, databases) for better diagnostics. Updated silent() to set BASH_COMMAND on failure for improved error context.
