Change the copyright holder to Coffey Labs
119 SPDX-FileCopyrightText headers and the README's licence line. The distinction that matters here: LINUXexpert-org appears in this repository in two completely different roles. As a copyright holder in the SPDX headers, which is what changes, and as the GitHub organisation in the module path and 64 import statements, which does not -- the repository still lives at github.com/LINUXexpert-org/stalwart-migrator, and rewriting that would not be a licence change, it would break the build. Both replacements are anchored to their copyright forms, so an import path cannot match either. Import count is 64 before and after, and go.mod is untouched. LICENSE untouched: the FSF's copyright on the GPL text and the "<name of author>" placeholders are not ours to edit. go vet, go build and go test all clean. |

Fix the three defects that cost a production restore
A live migration on 2026-08-24 stopped a production mail server and then
discovered the host's stalwart-cli was 0.13.4 - present, but from when the
CLI shipped with the server, with no `apply` command. The migration needs
v1.0.2+ from the separately-versioned stalwartlabs/cli repository.
Recovery was closed in both directions. v0.16's recovery-mode boot had
already bumped the store schema to v6, so the 0.15.5 binary refused to
reopen it ("expected 5 or below, found 6"). Going forward needed
export.json, which this tool's own failure path had deleted - and
regenerating it required a settings dump from a live v0.15 instance that
could no longer start. The operator restored a day-old snapshot and lost a
day of mail across nine domains.
Three fixes:
1. preflight.CheckExternalTools verifies stalwart-cli exists and is v1.0.2
or later, and that python3 runs - before anything is touched. Every fact
needed to prevent this was available in under a second from a stopped
state. Skipped for a patch upgrade, which invokes neither tool.
2. A failed run no longer deletes its work directory. Cleaning up on every
exit path was right for a sandboxed rehearsal and catastrophic here:
once the service is stopped the settings dump cannot be regenerated, so
deleting it removes the only way forward. The failure now prints the
resume command instead.
3. `run --resume <id>` continues an interrupted run. The checkpoint
machinery existed but never engaged, because run created a new run every
invocation - so a retry re-ran preflight against a binary already moved
aside, and failed. Completed steps are skipped from the checkpoint.
Proven against a VM built to match the failure: stalwart-cli 0.15.5,
accounts and mail seeded.
* preflight refused, service still active, mail still accepted
* a stub CLI passing --version and failing apply left the run stopped
with all eight inputs intact and the resume command printed
* --resume carried it to a clean finish: five seconds of downtime,
listeners regenerated, admin role restored, quotas rebuilt
That failure-path test is the one that should have run before production.
Every earlier test had stalwart-cli installed from the start, and the one
failure I did exercise happened to leave its artifacts behind.

Add SPDX headers to every Go file
GPLv3's "How to Apply These Terms" asks for a notice in each source file; this is the modern two-line SPDX form of it rather than the full paragraph. 82 files, including tests. The blank line after the header is load-bearing. In Go a comment block immediately preceding `package X` becomes the package doc comment, so without the separator the SPDX lines would be absorbed into the doc for the eleven packages whose doc.go (or main.go) opens with one, and `go doc` would print them. Verified it doesn't. |

Add cutover; drop rollback in favour of operator-provided recovery
Two changes that arrived together: the cutover phase (ARCHITECTURE.md 4.5) is implemented, and the rollback phase is deleted. Recovery from a failed migration is now explicitly the operator's own snapshot or backup, and out of scope for this tool. internal/cutover implements 4.5 as seven checkpointed steps: verify the staged binary's version, install it, preserve and rewrite the service definition, reload, start, wait for a healthy JMAP session, recalculate quotas. The unit is rewritten in place rather than generated from a template. An operator's unit carries hardening options, limits and dependencies this tool has no business having an opinion about, and regenerating it would silently drop them. It repoints ExecStart (preserving systemd's -@:+! prefix characters and every argument after the executable), updates --config, and strips recovery-mode Environment lines - leaving STALWART_RECOVERY_MODE=1 set would recovery-boot the service on every restart, forever. It refuses on a unit with no ExecStart, and on an Environment line mixing a recovery variable with others: a line it only partly understands is one it must not edit. Quota recalculation is the one step allowed to fail without failing the phase. Its wire format is grounded in Stalwart's x:Task schema reference - Task/set creating one AccountMaintenance per account with maintenanceType recalculateQuota - but the upgrade guide only documents the WebUI path, so two details remain inferred and are called out in stalwartapi/task.go: whether the schema's "read-only" annotation on accountId/maintenanceType means "immutable after creation", and whether a finished task simply leaves the queue (TaskStatus documents Pending/Retry/Failed with no success state). Warning rather than failing is the honest response to that uncertainty, and stale counters are an accounting problem next to calling for a restore of a machine that is otherwise migrated and serving mail. Docker deployments are refused outright: cutting a container over means pulling an image and recreating it, not swapping a binary. On removing rollback. The implementation worked and was tested, and it was removed because restoring bytes correctly is not the hard part. It copied file contents and permissions and verified every restored file against a manifest - and did not preserve ownership. Run as root, as this tool requires, it would have produced a byte-perfect, checksum-verified, root-owned data directory that Stalwart, running as its own user, could not open, and it would have reported success. The PostgreSQL path was worse: pg_dump without --clean emits CREATE TABLE + COPY, which fails replaying into a database whose tables still exist, and the ON_ERROR_STOP=1 added so a half-applied restore couldn't be reported as success turned that into a hard failure. None of it had ever run against a real server. A filesystem snapshot has none of these failure modes, because it never lost the metadata to begin with. So cutover's gate is no longer rollback.CanRollBack but an explicit RecoveryPointConfirmed acknowledgement. That is an assertion, not a check - this tool cannot verify someone else's snapshot - and its only value is that nobody migrates a production mail server having never been asked the question. Two consequences are accepted deliberately: restoring any pre-migration recovery point discards mail delivered since, and a failed migration now stops and reports rather than undoing itself. What the tool still does to make a manual restore easier: the old binary is preserved and never deleted, the original service definition is preserved before the rewrite, the settings and principals dumps stay on disk, and every artifact path and checksum stays in the checkpoint where `status <run-id>` can print it. Also removed: the `confirm` command stub and RollbackWindowClosed, whose only purpose was closing a rollback window that no longer exists, and checkpoint.PhaseRollback. Old state.json files still load - JSON ignores the now-unknown field. Still open, and recorded in 8: cutover ignores systemd drop-ins, so an ExecStart or Environment override in stalwart.service.d/*.conf is invisible to the rewrite - including the recovery variable it exists to strip; nothing prevents concurrent runs on the same run-id; and nothing in this repo has ever run against a real Stalwart, real systemd, or a real store. |
