Split into a FastAPI backend and a React frontend, add case state and SSO
The single-file stdlib server became the limit: no way to track what had been
done about an alert, no accounts, and a UI that had to be hand-rolled in
template strings. This restructures it into something deployable.

Backend (FastAPI)
- app/ holds config, database, auth, delivery and the routers; triagelib keeps
  the triage engine unchanged, so the validated screening and runbook logic is
  untouched.
- Cases persist per alert fingerprint with a status workflow (investigating,
  customer contacted, escalated to Infra, waiting, remediated, resolved, won't
  fix, false positive), an assignee, notes and an append-only history. An alert
  that stops and re-fires lands back on the same case and counts as a reopen.
- Suppression rules move from a JSON file into the database.

Auth
- Signed session cookies over PBKDF2 local accounts, plus an OIDC flow ready for
  Authentik: users are created on first login and admin follows a group claim.
  Local login can be switched off entirely once SSO is live.

Zendesk and Jira
- Delivery is now implemented, behind three gates: the integration must be
  configured, its feature flag on, and CX_FEATURE_SEND_ENABLED on. A demo
  instance leaves the last off and cannot mail anyone. Both search before
  creating, so re-diagnosing an alert updates one ticket rather than opening
  several, and a rolling daily cap stops a loop mailing everybody.

Deployment
- Multi-stage Dockerfile builds the bundle and serves it from the API origin.
- docker-compose for local and single-host use; Gitea Actions runs the tests,
  builds the image and renders deploy/k8s with envsubst.

Two fixes found while testing: assigning a case returned a null assignee, and
add_event could leave an already-loaded history collection stale.

Known gap: the engine reaches OpenStack via `docker exec <region>-osc`, which
does not work in a pod without the CX-Tools containers alongside it.
docs/DEPLOYMENT.md sets out the three ways to close that.

# Deployment
## Local
```bash
cp .env.example .env # set CX_SECRET_KEY and CX_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD
docker compose up --build
```
<http://localhost:8080>, sign in with the bootstrap admin.
Without Docker:
```bash
cd backend && pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8080 # terminal 1
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev # terminal 2 -> :5173, proxies /api
```
## Kubernetes via Gitea Actions
`.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml` runs tests → builds the image → renders
`deploy/k8s/*.yaml` with `envsubst` → applies them.
### Repository **variables** (not secret)
| Variable | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `CX_DOMAIN` | `cx-triage.ngbackend.cloud` | Ingress host; `CX_BASE_URL` derives from it |
| `K8S_NAMESPACE` | `cx-triage` | Target namespace |
| `REGISTRY` | `git.ngbackend.cloud` | Image registry |
| `IMAGE_NAME` | `parham.monfared/cx-ui` | Image repository |
| `CX_PROMETHEUS_BASE` | `http://10.11.254.250:9090` | Alert source |
| `CX_OIDC_ENABLED` | `true` | Authentik on |
| `CX_OIDC_ISSUER` | `https://sso…/application/o/cx-triage/` | Discovery base |
| `CX_OIDC_ADMIN_GROUP` | `cx-triage-admins` | Group granting admin |
| `CX_FEATURE_SEND_ENABLED` | `false` | **Master send switch** |
| `CX_FEATURE_ZENDESK` / `CX_FEATURE_JIRA` | `false` | Per-integration flags |
| `CX_FEATURE_LINKAGE_SCAN` | `true` | Expensive scan on/off |
| `CX_SEND_DAILY_CAP` | `25` | Rolling 24h send limit |
| `CX_JIRA_PROJECT` / `CX_JIRA_BASE` | `INFRA` | Jira target |
| `INGRESS_CLASS` / `TLS_ISSUER` | `nginx` / `letsencrypt-prod` | Ingress wiring |
| `REPLICAS` | `1` | See the caveat below |
### Repository **secrets**
`KUBECONFIG` (base64), `REGISTRY_USERNAME`, `REGISTRY_TOKEN`, `CX_SECRET_KEY`,
`CX_DATABASE_URL`, `CX_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, `CX_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`,
`CX_ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN`, `CX_ZENDESK_EMAIL`, `CX_ZENDESK_TOKEN`,
`CX_JIRA_EMAIL`, `CX_JIRA_TOKEN`, `CX_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD`.
## Authentik
1. **Applications → Providers → Create → OAuth2/OpenID Provider**
- Client type: **Confidential**
- Redirect URI: `https://<CX_DOMAIN>/api/auth/oidc/callback`
- Scopes: `openid`, `email`, `profile`
2. Create the Application and bind the provider.
3. Copy the client ID/secret into the Gitea secrets above.
4. Create a group `cx-triage-admins`; its members get admin rights.
5. Set `CX_OIDC_ISSUER` to the provider's OpenID configuration base URL — the
app appends `/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
Users are created on first login. `CX_AUTH_LOCAL_ENABLED=false` in the cluster
config turns off password login entirely once SSO works.
## Two things to plan for
**Reaching OpenStack.** The diagnosis engine shells out to
`docker exec <region>-osc openstack …`, and the internal Prometheus is only
reachable from inside those containers. That works on a laptop with CX-Tools
running; it does **not** work in a pod by default. Options, cheapest first:
1. Run the app on a host that already has the CX-Tools containers, mounting the
Docker socket (what `docker-compose.yml` does).
2. Run the `*-osc` containers as sidecars in the pod.
3. Replace `cxbridge.os_json` with direct authenticated OpenStack API calls and
give the pod a network route. Cleanest, most work.
Until one of those is in place, a cluster deployment can read Prometheus (if
routable) but per-alert diagnosis will fail. That is a real gap, not an
oversight.
**`REPLICAS` should stay at 1** for now. The Prometheus caches, the background
triage jobs and the linkage scan are per-process, so a second replica would
duplicate the work and serve inconsistent job IDs. Moving jobs into the database
or a queue is what unlocks scaling out.
