 # Changelog

-## 2026-01-29 - 5.2.1 - fix(cli(ups-handler), systemd)
-add type guards and null checks for UPS configs; improve SNMP handling and prompts; guard version display
+## 2026-02-20 - 5.3.0 - feat(daemon)
+Add UPSD (NUT) protocol support, Proxmox VM shutdown action, pause/resume monitoring, and network-loss/unreachable handling; bump config version to 4.2

- Introduce a type guard ('id' in config && 'name' in config) to distinguish IUpsConfig from legacy INupstConfig and route fields (snmp, checkInterval, name, id) accordingly.
- displayTestConfig now handles missing SNMP by logging 'Not configured' and returning, computes checkInterval/upsName/upsId correctly, and uses groups only for true UPS configs.
- testConnection now safely derives snmpConfig for both config types, throws if SNMP is missing, and caps test timeout to 10s for probes.
- Clear auth/priv credentials by setting undefined (instead of empty strings) when disabling security levels to avoid invalid/empty string values.
- Expanded customOIDs to include OUTPUT_LOAD, OUTPUT_POWER, OUTPUT_VOLTAGE, OUTPUT_CURRENT with defaults; trim prompt input and document RFC 1628 fallbacks.
- systemd.displayVersionInfo: guard against missing nupst (silent return) and avoid errors when printing version info; use ignored catch variables for clarity.
+- Add UPSD client (ts/upsd) and ProtocolResolver (ts/protocol) to support protocol-agnostic UPS queries (snmp or upsd).
+- Introduce new TProtocol and IUpsdConfig types, wire up Nupst to initialize & expose UPSD client, and route status requests through ProtocolResolver.
+- Add 'unreachable' TPowerStatus plus consecutiveFailures and unreachableSince tracking; mark UPS as unreachable after NETWORK.CONSECUTIVE_FAILURE_THRESHOLD failures and suppress shutdown actions while unreachable.
+- Implement pause/resume feature: PAUSE.FILE_PATH state file, CLI commands (pause/resume), daemon pause-state polling, auto-resume, and include pause state in HTTP API responses.
+- Add ProxmoxAction (ts/actions/proxmox-action.ts) with Proxmox API interaction, configuration options (token, node, timeout, force, insecure) and CLI prompts to configure proxmox actions.
+- CLI and UI updates: protocol selection when adding UPS, protocol/host shown in lists, action details column supports proxmox, and status displays include protocol and unreachable state.
+- Add migration MigrationV4_1ToV4_2 to set protocol:'snmp' for existing devices and bump config.version to '4.2'.
+- Add new constants (NETWORK, UPSD, PAUSE, PROXMOX), update package.json scripts (test/build/lint/format), and wire protocol support across daemon, systemd, http-server, and various handlers.

+no changes
+
+- No files changed in the provided git diff; no commit or version bump required.
+
+## 2026-01-29 - 5.2.3 - fix(core)
+fix lint/type issues and small refactors
+
+- Add missing node:process imports in bin and scripts to ensure process is available
+- Remove unused imports and unused type imports (e.g. writeFileSync, IActionConfig) to reduce noise
+- Make some methods synchronous (service update, webhook call) to match actual usage
+- Tighten SNMP typings and linting: added deno-lint-ignore comments, renamed unused params with leading underscore, and use `as const` for securityLevel fallbacks
+- Improve error handling variable naming in systemd (use error instead of _error)
+- Annotate ANSI regex with deno-lint-ignore no-control-regex and remove unused color/symbol imports across CLI/daemon/logger
+
+## 2026-01-29 - 5.2.2 - fix(core)
+tidy formatting and minor fixes across CLI, SNMP, HTTP server, migrations and packaging
+
+- Normalize import ordering and improve logger/string formatting across many CLI handlers, daemon, systemd, actions and tests
+- Apply formatting tidies: trailing commas, newline fixes, and more consistent multiline strings
+- Allow BaseMigration methods to return either sync or async results (shouldRun/migrate signatures updated)
+- Improve SNMP manager and HTTP server logging/error messages and tighten some typings (raw SNMP types, server error typing)
+- Small robustness and messaging improvements in npm installer and wrapper (platform/arch mapping, error outputs)
+- Update tests and documentation layout/formatting for readability

 ## 2026-01-29 - 5.2.0 - feat(core)

+## Features Added (February 2026)
+
+### Network Loss Handling
+- `TPowerStatus` extended with `'unreachable'` state
+- `IUpsStatus` has `consecutiveFailures` and `unreachableSince` tracking
+- After `NETWORK.CONSECUTIVE_FAILURE_THRESHOLD` (3) failures, UPS transitions to `unreachable`
+- Shutdown action explicitly won't fire on `unreachable` (prevents false shutdowns)
+- Recovery is logged when UPS comes back from unreachable
+
+### UPSD/NIS Protocol Support
+- New `ts/upsd/` directory with TCP client for NUT (Network UPS Tools) servers
+- `ts/protocol/` directory with `ProtocolResolver` for protocol-agnostic status queries
+- `IUpsConfig.protocol` field: `'snmp'` (default) or `'upsd'`
+- `IUpsConfig.snmp` is now optional (not needed for UPSD devices)
+- CLI supports protocol selection during `nupst ups add`
+- Config version bumped to `4.2` with migration from `4.1`
+
+### Pause/Resume Command
+- File-based signaling via `/etc/nupst/pause` JSON file
+- `nupst pause [--duration 30m|2h|1d]` creates pause file
+- `nupst resume` deletes pause file
+- Daemon polls continue but actions are suppressed while paused
+- Auto-resume after duration expires
+- HTTP API includes pause state in response
+
+### Proxmox VM Shutdown Action
+- New action type `'proxmox'` in `ts/actions/proxmox-action.ts`
+- Uses Proxmox REST API with PVEAPIToken authentication
+- Shuts down QEMU VMs and LXC containers before host shutdown
+- Supports: exclude IDs, configurable timeout, force-stop, TLS skip for self-signed certs
+- Should be placed BEFORE shutdown actions in the action chain

 ## Architecture Notes

- **SNMP Manager**: Uses `INupstAccessor` interface (not direct `Nupst` reference) to avoid circular imports
+- **SNMP Manager**: Uses `INupstAccessor` interface (not direct `Nupst` reference) to avoid circular
+  imports
+- **Protocol Resolver**: Routes to SNMP or UPSD based on `IUpsConfig.protocol`
 - **CLI Handlers**: All use the `helpers.withPrompt()` utility for interactive input
 - **Constants**: All timing values should be referenced from `ts/constants.ts`
 - **Actions**: Use `IActionConfig` from `ts/actions/base-action.ts` for action configuration
+- **Config version**: Currently `4.2`, migrations run automatically
