Summary

This adds a shared, structured first-boot and lifecycle validation flow for Pelican Panel.

  • reuse one environment-check service in the web installer and CLI to validate PHP, required extensions, actual path writability, the encryption key, database connectivity, migrations, cache, administrator state, and queue processing
  • verify a real queued job after migrations and before administrator creation, then mark the installation complete only after required first-boot work and run a final health check
  • add p:environment:preflight and p:environment:health for explicit pre-install and post-install/update validation with actionable failure messages
  • register the queue worker check in the existing health scheduler
  • add guarded p:maintenance:prepare-update and p:maintenance:finish-update commands that check the target release's locked Composer platform requirements, capture a protected pre-update state snapshot, provide database-backup guidance, and point to exact rollback instructions when post-update validation fails

The update preparation command does not replace application files or run migrations. Non-SQLite databases receive backup guidance without exposing credentials; SQLite is copied into the private snapshot. Environment snapshots are stored below storage/app/private, with the .env copy restricted to mode 0600.

Validation

  • vendor/bin/pint on every changed PHP file
  • vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --no-progress
  • 14 focused tests / 47 assertions covering installer ordering, queue failure behavior, CLI results, complete health checks, target compatibility, and update snapshots
  • full local suite: 471 passed, 3 skipped; 4 pre-existing Windows-only failures in NormalizeEggCommandTest because its temporary path loses backslashes (C:\Users\... becomes C:Users...). No Egg normalizer files are changed in this PR.

CLI examples

php artisan p:environment:preflight --with-database --with-queue
php artisan p:environment:health
php artisan p:maintenance:prepare-update --source=/path/to/extracted/release --target-version=v1.x.y
php artisan p:maintenance:finish-update

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds centralized installation health checks, queue-worker probes, installer validation, environment commands, and update preparation and rollback workflows.

Changes

Installation health and update safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Health contracts and queue probing
app/Enums/EnvironmentCheckStatus.php, app/ValueObjects/EnvironmentCheckResult.php, app/Jobs/QueueWorkerProbeJob.php, app/Services/Environment/QueueWorkerProbeService.php, app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php, app/Console/Kernel.php
Defines environment check statuses and results. Adds queue-worker marker probing, health monitoring, and scheduled queue checks.
Installation health evaluation
app/Services/Environment/InstallationHealthService.php, tests/Integration/Services/Environment/*
Checks system requirements, application state, database, migrations, administrator, cache, and queue health.
Installer health validation
app/Livewire/Installer/PanelInstaller.php, app/Livewire/Installer/Steps/*, lang/en/installer.php, tests/Filament/Installer/PanelInstallerTest.php
Uses shared health checks during installation. Queue verification runs before administrator creation, and final checks run before installation completion.
Environment command workflows
app/Console/Commands/Environment/*, app/Traits/Commands/DisplaysEnvironmentChecks.php, lang/en/commands.php, tests/Integration/Console/Commands/EnvironmentCommandsTest.php
Adds preflight and health commands. Existing settings setup now validates requirements and returns explicit command status codes.
Update preparation and rollback guidance
app/Console/Commands/Maintenance/*, app/Services/Maintenance/*, app/ValueObjects/UpdateSnapshot.php, lang/en/commands.php, tests/Integration/Services/Maintenance/UpdateSafetyServiceTest.php
Validates target releases, captures update snapshots, records database guidance, and reports rollback instructions after post-update health checks.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 21db3

Update preparation can misidentify a named database connection and omit the protected SQLite snapshot, weakening rollback protection for affected installations. The PR is not merge-ready until the configured connection is resolved before selecting backup behavior and recording metadata.

Inline comments:
In `@app/Services/Maintenance/UpdateSnapshotService.php`:
- Around line 141-145: Update the rollback step in UpdateSnapshotService to
explicitly restore the environment file from the snapshot path
`{$snapshotPath}/.env`, while preserving its original ownership and restrictive
permissions.
- Around line 28-50: The snapshot capture flow must reject incomplete snapshots
by checking every required File::copy and File::put result, including database
backup and guidance artifacts, and throwing on failure instead of returning an
UpdateSnapshot. Update latest() and fromPath() to validate all required
artifacts before returning a snapshot, and add tests covering failed writes and
invalid snapshot paths.
- Around line 106-111: Update the SQLite snapshot branch in
UpdateSnapshotService to capture WAL-mode databases consistently instead of
copying only the main database file. Use SQLite’s Online Backup API or VACUUM
INTO; alternatively, quiesce writes and checkpoint the WAL before copying, while
preserving the existing destination and permissions behavior. Add a test
covering committed data stored in the WAL.

104-118: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve the configured connection before selecting backup behavior.

database.default is a connection name, not necessarily a PDO driver. InstallationHealthService correctly passes this value to DB::connection(). If the default connection is named primary and uses SQLite, this code writes generic guidance, skips the SQLite backup, and records primary instead of sqlite in metadata.

Resolve the driver with the configured connection. Read the SQLite database path from that same connection. Record the resolved driver in metadata.json. Add a test with a non-sqlite connection name that uses the SQLite driver.

Proposed fix
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
+
-        $driver = (string) config('database.default');
+        $connection = (string) config('database.default');
+        $driver = DB::connection($connection)->getDriverName();

         if ($driver === 'sqlite') {
-            $database = config('database.connections.sqlite.database');
+            $database = config("database.connections.{$connection}.database");

Can we please split this into separate pull requests so we can merge them easier?

(a) installer requirements refactor + shared checks,
(b) the QueueCheck + scheduler registration (two lines, merge-ready today),
(c) the update snapshot/rollback tooling

Instead of ValueObjects can you please simply do Data and extend and utilize spatie/laravel-data that we already have required?

I don't believe we can just simply assume that composer lives in the PATH. I would love to, but I don't think it's reasonable.

Need some sort of built in pruning because these snapshots will keep growing and also contain .env and database.sqlite files too.
