# PGS - Changelog

## [1.5] - 2026-03-07

### Added
- Added `pgs cleanup` to scan image storages for orphan/stale `vm-*-state-suspend-YYYY-MM-DD.raw` volumes and remove them safely

### Fixed
- Stopped VMs are no longer classified as "already suspended to disk" from config flags alone; `bin/pgs` now requires `lock: suspended`, `vmstate:`, and a resolvable backing saved-state volume
- Added cleanup for inconsistent suspend artifacts on stopped VMs, including stale suspend locks, stale `vmstate:` metadata, and orphaned saved-state volumes on storage
- `pgs suspend` now runs suspend-artifact cleanup as a preflight, reducing same-day collisions with stale `state-suspend` volumes
- Cleanup explicitly ignores `vm-*-state-cp*.raw` checkpoint files and only targets `vm-*-state-suspend-YYYY-MM-DD.raw`
- Repeated `pgs suspend` runs now merge with the existing state file instead of discarding prior `to_resume` intent
- State now records `vm_details.suspend_volume` and `vm_details.suspend_file_date`, and `resume` skips auto-restore when a VM's suspend artifact changed after the state was saved

## [1.4] - 2026-03-06

### Changed
- Standardized install layout around `xdev` paths for uninstall, documentation, and runtime state
- Added dedicated `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/uninstall.sh` and reduced `setup.sh` to a local/remote wrapper
- Updated `bin/pgs` to migrate legacy state from `/var/lib/pve-manager/pgs-state.json` to `/var/lib/xdev/pve-guests-state/pgs-state.json`
- Promoted `bin/pgs` as the canonical executable and removed the duplicate top-level `pgs` file
- Marked `systemd/` artifacts as legacy reference material instead of active install targets

### Fixed
- Fixed documentation to reflect the current manual workflow and the standardized host layout

## [1.2] - 2026-03-05

### Added
- LXC container (CT) support: graceful shutdown before maintenance, auto-start after maintenance
- New `ct_to_start` array in state JSON for CT restoration
- `load_ct_info()` function using single `pct list` call
- `shutdown_ct()` function with 120s timeout for graceful shutdown
- `start_ct()` function for post-maintenance startup
- TODO placeholder for critical VM/CT migration support

### Changed
- State file now includes `ct_to_start` array
- Suspend operation processes VMs then CTs
- Resume operation resumes VMs then starts CTs

### Fixed
- Fixed `pct list` column parsing (Status/Lock/Name column order)
- Handle empty Lock column in `pct list` output

## [1.1] - 2026-03-05

### Fixed
- Fixed `load_state()` outputting log messages to stdout, corrupting JSON parsing
- Fixed empty arrays in JSON state file (was generating `[""]` instead of `[]`)
- Fixed paused VMs being treated as "running" - now properly detects `paused` status

### Changed
- Optimized VM info loading: single `qm list` call instead of per-VM calls
- Optimized suspend lock detection: read config files directly, no extra `qm` calls
- Optimized status checking: only verify actual status for "running" VMs, rest trust `qm list`
- Reduced scan time from ~180 seconds to ~2.5 seconds for 30+ VMs

### Added
- Proper systemd service setup for manual suspend before maintenance
- Proper systemd service setup for manual resume after maintenance
- Better handling of paused VMs: suspend to disk but don't auto-resume
- Comprehensive journal logging with severity levels (INFO, WARNING, ERROR, SUCCESS)
- Dry-run mode for testing without effects

## [1.0] - 2026-03-05

### Initial Release
- Basic suspend/resume functionality
- State file preservation
- Manual testing scripts

## Performance Improvements

| Operation | v1.0 | v1.1 | Improvement |
|-----------|------|------|-------------|
| Scan 30 VMs | ~180s | ~2.5s | **72x faster** |
| System calls | Per-VM qm calls | Single qm list + file I/O | **Drastically reduced** |

## Known Limitations

- Requires passwordless SSH for cluster-wide operations
- No critical VM/CT migration support yet (TODO)

## Testing

Tested on:
- Proxmox VE 8.x with 30+ VMs and CTs
- Mixed VM configurations (4GB-16GB RAM)
- LXC containers with running services
- Storage: local-dir, NFS mount points

## Future Enhancements

- [ ] Support for LXC container shutdown
- [ ] Configurable exclusion list for VMs
- [ ] Metrics/performance monitoring
- [ ] Multi-node coordination for cluster-wide operations
- [ ] Backup integration for backup snapshots before suspend
