-
-**Keyboard Controls Status:**
-- **Services Panel**: 
-  - R (restart) ✅ Working
-  - s (start) ✅ Working  
-  - S (stop) ✅ Working
-- **System Panel**: R (nixos-rebuild) ✅ Working with --option sandbox false
-- **Backup Panel**: B (trigger backup) ❓ Not implemented
-
-**Visual Feedback Implementation - IN PROGRESS:**
-
-Context-appropriate progress indicators for each panel:
-
-**Services Panel** (Service status transitions):
-```
-● nginx          active    →  ⏳ nginx      restarting  →  ● nginx          active
-● docker         active    →  ⏳ docker     stopping    →  ● docker         inactive  
-```
-
-**System Panel** (Build progress in NixOS section):
-```
-NixOS:
-Build: 25.05.20251004.3bcc93c    →    Build: [████████████     ] 65%
-Active users: cm, simon               Active users: cm, simon
-```
-
-**Backup Panel** (OnGoing status with progress):
-```
-Latest backup:              →    Latest backup:
-● 2024-10-23 14:32:15            ● OnGoing  
-└─ Duration: 1.3m                 └─ [██████       ] 60%
-```
-
-**Critical Configuration Hash Fix - HIGH PRIORITY:**
-
-**Problem:** Configuration hash currently shows git commit hash instead of actual deployed system hash.
-
-**Current (incorrect):** 
-- Shows git hash: `db11f82` (source repository commit)
-- Not accurate - doesn't reflect what's actually deployed
-
-**Target (correct):**
-- Show nix store hash: `d8ivwiar` (first 8 chars from deployed system)  
-- Source: `/nix/store/d8ivwiarhwhgqzskj6q2482r58z46qjf-nixos-system-cmbox-25.05.20251004.3bcc93c`
-- Pattern: Extract hash from `/nix/store/HASH-nixos-system-HOSTNAME-VERSION`
-
-**Benefits:**
-1. **Deployment Verification:** Confirms rebuild actually succeeded
-2. **Accurate Status:** Shows what's truly running, not just source
-3. **Rebuild Completion Detection:** Hash change = rebuild completed
-4. **Rollback Tracking:** Each deployment has unique identifier
-
-**Implementation Required:**
-1. Agent extracts nix store hash from `ls -la /run/current-system` 
-2. Reports this as `system_config_hash` metric instead of git hash
-3. Dashboard displays first 8 characters: `Config: d8ivwiar`
-
-**Next Session Priority Tasks:**
-
-**Remaining Features:**
-1. **Fix Configuration Hash Display (CRITICAL)**:
-   - Use nix store hash instead of git commit hash
-   - Extract from `/run/current-system` -> `/nix/store/HASH-nixos-system-*`
-   - Enables proper rebuild completion detection
-
-2. **Command Response Protocol**:
-   - Agent sends command completion/failure back to dashboard via ZMQ
-   - Dashboard updates UI status from ⏳ to ● when commands complete
-   - Clear success/failure status after timeout
-
-3. **Backup Panel Features**:
-   - Implement backup trigger functionality (B key)
-   - Complete visual feedback for backup operations
-   - Add backup progress indicators
-
-**Enhancement Tasks:**
-- Add confirmation dialogs for destructive actions (stop/restart/rebuild)
-- Implement command history/logging
-- Add keyboard shortcuts help overlay
-
-**Future Enhanced Navigation:**
-- Add Page Up/Down for faster scrolling through long service lists
-- Implement search/filter functionality for services
-- Add jump-to-service shortcuts (first letter navigation)
-
-**Future Advanced Features:**
-- Service dependency visualization
-- Historical service status tracking
-- Real-time log viewing integration

-## Core Architecture Principles - CRITICAL
+## Core Architecture Principles
 
 ### Individual Metrics Philosophy
-
-**NEW ARCHITECTURE**: Agent collects individual metrics, dashboard composes widgets from those metrics.
+- Agent collects individual metrics, dashboard composes widgets
+- Each metric collected, transmitted, and stored individually
+- Agent calculates status for each metric using thresholds
+- Dashboard aggregates individual metric statuses for widget status
 
 ### Maintenance Mode
-
-**Purpose:**
-
-- Suppress email notifications during planned maintenance or backups
-- Prevents false alerts when services are intentionally stopped
-
-**Implementation:**
-
 - Agent checks for `/tmp/cm-maintenance` file before sending notifications
 - File presence suppresses all email notifications while continuing monitoring
 - Dashboard continues to show real status, only notifications are blocked
 
-**Usage:**
-
+Usage:
 ```bash
 # Enable maintenance mode
 touch /tmp/cm-maintenance
 
-# Run maintenance tasks (backups, service restarts, etc.)
+# Run maintenance tasks
 systemctl stop service
 # ... maintenance work ...
 systemctl start service
@@ -211,102 +84,29 @@ systemctl start service
 rm /tmp/cm-maintenance
 ```
 
-**NixOS Integration:**
-
-- Borgbackup script automatically creates/removes maintenance file
-- Automatic cleanup via trap ensures maintenance mode doesn't stick
-- All cinfiguration are shall be done from nixos config
-
-**ARCHITECTURE ENFORCEMENT**:
-
-- **ZERO legacy code reuse** - Fresh implementation following ARCHITECT.md exactly
-- **Individual metrics only** - NO grouped metric structures
-- **Reference-only legacy** - Study old functionality, implement new architecture
-- **Clean slate mindset** - Build as if legacy codebase never existed
-
-**Implementation Rules**:
-
-1. **Individual Metrics**: Each metric is collected, transmitted, and stored individually
-2. **Agent Status Authority**: Agent calculates status for each metric using thresholds
-3. **Dashboard Composition**: Dashboard widgets subscribe to specific metrics by name
-4. **Status Aggregation**: Dashboard aggregates individual metric statuses for widget status
-   **Testing & Building**:
-
-- **Workspace builds**: `cargo build --workspace` for all testing
-- **Clean compilation**: Remove `target/` between architecture changes
-- **ZMQ testing**: Test agent-dashboard communication independently
-- **Widget testing**: Verify UI layout matches legacy appearance exactly
-
-**NEVER in New Implementation**:
-
-- Copy/paste ANY code from legacy backup
-- Calculate status in dashboard widgets
-- Hardcode metric names in widgets (use const arrays)
-
-# Important Communication Guidelines
-
-NEVER write that you have "successfully implemented" something or generate extensive summary text without first verifying with the user that the implementation is correct. This wastes tokens. Keep responses concise.
-
-NEVER implement code without first getting explicit user agreement on the approach. Always ask for confirmation before proceeding with implementation.
-
-## Commit Message Guidelines
-
-**NEVER mention:**
-
-- Claude or any AI assistant names
-- Automation or AI-generated content
-- Any reference to automated code generation
-
-**ALWAYS:**
-
-- Focus purely on technical changes and their purpose
-- Use standard software development commit message format
-- Describe what was changed and why, not how it was created
-- Write from the perspective of a human developer

 # CM Dashboard
 
-A real-time infrastructure monitoring system with intelligent status aggregation and email notifications, built with Rust and ZMQ.
+A high-performance Rust-based TUI dashboard for monitoring CMTEC infrastructure. Built with ZMQ-based metric collection and individual metrics architecture.
 
-## Current Implementation
+## Features
 
-This is a complete rewrite implementing an **individual metrics architecture** where:
+### Core Monitoring
+- **Real-time metrics**: CPU, RAM, Storage, and Service status
+- **Multi-host support**: Monitor multiple servers from single dashboard  
+- **Service management**: Start/stop services with intelligent status tracking
+- **NixOS integration**: System rebuild via SSH + tmux popup
+- **Backup monitoring**: Borgbackup status and scheduling
+- **Email notifications**: Intelligent batching prevents spam
 
-- **Agent** collects individual metrics (e.g., `cpu_load_1min`, `memory_usage_percent`) and calculates status
-- **Dashboard** subscribes to specific metrics and composes widgets
-- **Status Aggregation** provides intelligent email notifications with batching
-- **Persistent Cache** prevents false notifications on restart
+### User-Stopped Service Tracking
+Services stopped via the dashboard are intelligently tracked to prevent false alerts:
 
-## Dashboard Interface
+- **Smart status reporting**: User-stopped services show as Status::OK instead of Warning
+- **Persistent storage**: Tracking survives agent restarts via JSON storage
+- **Automatic management**: Flags cleared when services restarted via dashboard
+- **Maintenance friendly**: No false alerts during intentional service operations
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Individual Metrics Philosophy
+- **Agent**: Collects individual metrics, calculates status using thresholds
+- **Dashboard**: Subscribes to specific metrics, composes widgets from individual data
+- **ZMQ Communication**: Efficient real-time metric transmission
+- **Status Aggregation**: Host-level status calculated from all service metrics

+
+### Service Control Flow
+
+1. **User Action**: Dashboard sends `UserStart`/`UserStop` commands
+2. **Agent Processing**: 
+   - Marks service as user-stopped (if stopping)
+   - Executes `systemctl start/stop service`
+   - Syncs state to global tracker
+3. **Status Calculation**: 
+   - Systemd collector checks user-stopped flag
+   - Reports Status::OK for user-stopped inactive services
+   - Normal Warning status for system failures

-## Collectors
+## Technical Implementation
 
-The agent implements several specialized collectors:
+### Collectors
 
-### CPU Collector (`cpu.rs`)
+#### Systemd Collector
+- **Service Discovery**: Uses `systemctl list-unit-files` + `list-units --all`
+- **Status Calculation**: Checks user-stopped flag before assigning Warning status
+- **Memory Tracking**: Per-service memory usage via `systemctl show`
+- **Sub-services**: Nginx site latency, Docker containers
+- **User-stopped Integration**: `UserStoppedServiceTracker::is_service_user_stopped()`
 
-- Load average (1, 5, 15 minute)
-- CPU temperature monitoring
-- Real-time process monitoring (top CPU consumers)
-- Status calculation with configurable thresholds
+#### User-Stopped Service Tracker
+- **Storage**: `/var/lib/cm-dashboard/user-stopped-services.json`
+- **Thread Safety**: Global singleton with `Arc<Mutex<>>`
+- **Persistence**: Automatic save on state changes
+- **Global Access**: Static methods for collector integration
 
-### Memory Collector (`memory.rs`)
+#### Other Collectors
+- **CPU**: Load average, temperature, frequency monitoring
+- **Memory**: RAM/swap usage, tmpfs monitoring  
+- **Disk**: Filesystem usage, SMART health data
+- **NixOS**: Build version, active users, agent version
+- **Backup**: Borgbackup repository status and metrics
 
-- RAM usage (total, used, available)
-- Swap monitoring
-- Real-time process monitoring (top RAM consumers)
-- Memory pressure detection
+### ZMQ Protocol
 
-### Disk Collector (`disk.rs`)
+```rust
+// Metric Message
+#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct MetricMessage {
+    pub hostname: String,
+    pub timestamp: u64,
+    pub metrics: Vec<Metric>,
+}
 
-- Filesystem usage per mount point
-- SMART health monitoring
-- Temperature and wear tracking
-- Configurable filesystem monitoring
+// Service Commands
+pub enum AgentCommand {
+    ServiceControl {
+        service_name: String,
+        action: ServiceAction,
+    },
+    SystemRebuild { /* SSH config */ },
+    CollectNow,
+}
 
-### Systemd Collector (`systemd.rs`)
+pub enum ServiceAction {
+    Start,           // System-initiated
+    Stop,            // System-initiated  
+    UserStart,       // User via dashboard (clears user-stopped)
+    UserStop,        // User via dashboard (marks user-stopped)
+    Status,
+}
+```
 
-- Service status monitoring (`active`, `inactive`, `failed`)
-- Memory usage per service
-- Service filtering and exclusions
-- Handles transitional states (`Status::Pending`)
+### Maintenance Mode
 
-### Backup Collector (`backup.rs`)
+Suppress notifications during planned maintenance:
 
-- Reads TOML status files from backup systems
-- Archive age verification
-- Disk usage tracking
-- Repository health monitoring
+```bash
+# Enable maintenance mode
+touch /tmp/cm-maintenance
+
+# Perform maintenance
+systemctl stop service
+# ... work ...
+systemctl start service  
+
+# Disable maintenance mode
+rm /tmp/cm-maintenance
+```
 
 ## Email Notifications
 
 ### Intelligent Batching
+- **Real-time dashboard**: Immediate status updates
+- **Batched emails**: Aggregated every 30 seconds
+- **Smart grouping**: Services organized by severity
+- **Recovery suppression**: Reduces notification spam
 
-The system implements smart notification batching to prevent email spam:
-
-- **Real-time dashboard updates** - Status changes appear immediately
-- **Batched email notifications** - Aggregated every 30 seconds
-- **Detailed groupings** - Services organized by severity
-
-### Example Alert Email
-
+### Example Alert
 ```
-Subject: Status Alert: 2 critical, 1 warning, 15 started
+Subject: Status Alert: 1 critical, 2 warnings, 0 recoveries
 
 Status Summary (30s duration)
 Host Status: Ok → Warning
 
-🔴 CRITICAL ISSUES (2):
-  postgresql: Ok → Critical
-  nginx: Warning → Critical
+🔴 CRITICAL ISSUES (1):
+  postgresql: Ok → Critical (memory usage 95%)
 
-🟡 WARNINGS (1):
-  redis: Ok → Warning (memory usage 85%)
+🟡 WARNINGS (2):
+  nginx: Ok → Warning (high load 8.5)
+  redis: user-stopped → Warning (restarted by system)
 
 ✅ RECOVERIES (0):

 ```
 
-## Individual Metrics Architecture
-
-The system follows a **metrics-first architecture**:
-
-### Agent Side
-
-```rust
-// Agent collects individual metrics
-vec![
-    Metric::new("cpu_load_1min".to_string(), MetricValue::Float(2.5), Status::Ok),
-    Metric::new("memory_usage_percent".to_string(), MetricValue::Float(78.5), Status::Warning),
-    Metric::new("service_nginx_status".to_string(), MetricValue::String("active".to_string()), Status::Ok),
-]
-```
-
-### Dashboard Side
-
-```rust
-// Widgets subscribe to specific metrics
-impl Widget for CpuWidget {
-    fn update_from_metrics(&mut self, metrics: &[&Metric]) {
-        for metric in metrics {
-            match metric.name.as_str() {
-                "cpu_load_1min" => self.load_1min = metric.value.as_f32(),
-                "cpu_load_5min" => self.load_5min = metric.value.as_f32(),
-                "cpu_temperature_celsius" => self.temperature = metric.value.as_f32(),
-                _ => {}
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Persistent Cache
-
-The cache system prevents false notifications:
-
-- **Automatic saving** - Saves when service status changes
-- **Persistent storage** - Maintains state across agent restarts
-- **Simple design** - No complex TTL or cleanup logic
-- **Status preservation** - Prevents duplicate notifications
-
