 **LOGAR** is an enterprise-grade log aggregation, normalization, and centralized provisioning system built for heterogeneous server fleets (Windows & Linux). It pairs ultra-lightweight, zero-state edge forwarders with a secure centralized server hub that enforces mutual TLS 1.3 (**mTLS**) authentication, dynamic PKI fleet licensing with cryptographic seat leasing, 12-hour temporal persistence tracking, and direct anomaly pass-through—delivering clean, structured, verified log telemetry directly to **Hermes AI** for autonomous deep reasoning, contextual root-cause analysis, and operational decision-making.

-# LOGAR Release v0.3.2
+# LOGAR Release Notes

-### 🪟 Windows Installer Fixes
+## [v0.3.4.2] - 2026-09-30
+
+### 🔒 Exclusive Hardware Host-Binding & Reassignment Controls
+- **Automated Host Binding on First Activation**: Licenses now automatically lock to the specific server hardware fingerprint (`server_fingerprint`) and hostname upon first activation/enrollment, preventing multi-host cloning or license hijacking.
+- **Manual Host Reassignment Control**: Added `🔓 Reset Host Binding` button to the Master License Authority dashboard (`licenseDetailsModal`), allowing administrators to unbind a license so it can be cleanly transferred or reassigned to a new server instance.
+- **REST & CLI Management**: Added `POST /api/license/reset-binding` and CLI argument `--reset-binding LIC_ID` for automated provisioning pipelines.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.3.4.1] - 2026-09-27
+
+### 🎨 Installer Dialog UI Spacing & Branding Enhancements
+- **NSIS Client Config Profile Dialog Fix**: Adjusted vertical coordinates and label boundaries in the Windows Client NSIS installer (`installer_client.nsi`) to prevent input field overlap and ensure multi-line instructional text renders without visual clipping.
+- **Installer Footer Branding Clean-Up**: Escaped ampersands in Windows installer branding labels (`BrandingText`) to avoid character truncation in native win32 footer panels.
+- **License Authority UI Clean-Up**: Simplified table ACTIONS column in the Licensing Authority portal to exclusively display `⚙️ Manage`, keeping secondary actions (`Reinstate`, `Delete`) inside the dedicated management modal.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.3.4] - 2026-09-27
+
+### 🔄 In-Place Installer Upgrades & Mutual Exclusion Guards
+- **Seamless In-Place Upgrades**: Windows (Inno Setup & NSIS) and Linux installers now detect existing installations automatically. In upgrade mode, installers stop background services, update core binaries and runtime in-place, and restart services without overwriting configuration files (`server_config.json`, `client_config.json`), database state (`logar_state.db`), state tracking (`client_state.json`), or mTLS certificates.
+- **Host Mutual Exclusion Validation**: Added pre-installation validation across all installers to prevent accidental co-installation of LOGAR Server and LOGAR Client on the same host, showing descriptive guidance to administrators.
+
+### 🛡️ WebUI 2FA & Telemetry Stability
+- **Server Hub TOTP Two-Factor Authentication**: Implemented RFC 6238 TOTP 2FA for the LOGAR Server Hub web portal (`:8443`), featuring interactive QR code setup, secret generation, and secure session validation.
+- **Telemetry Stream UI Buffer Capping**: Limited the live verified telemetry stream view to the latest 50 events in the Server Hub dashboard for enhanced browser performance and UI stability.
+
+### 🔑 Licensing Authority Management & Registry Tooling
+- **Revocation, Reinstatement & License Deletion**: Enhanced the Master Licensing Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) with instant license revocation, reinstatement of revoked licenses, and conditional permanent deletion of revoked records.
+- **Interactive Capability Explorer**: Added interactive implementation breakdown modals across core capabilities on the public project landing page.
+- **Automated Gitea Container Pruning**: Added `prune_images.py` utility to maintain clean container registries by keeping only the latest active image versions.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.3.3] - 2026-09-27
+
+### 🎨 Brand Identity, Centralized Asset Library & Design System
+- **Centralized `/assets` Repository**: Added official vector graphics (`logo.svg`, `logo_transparent.svg`, `logo_dark.svg`, `logo_banner.svg`), high-resolution master PNGs (16px to 512px), multi-resolution Windows ICOs (`logo.ico`, `favicon.ico`), and installer dialog bitmaps (`wizard_header.bmp`, `wizard_small.bmp`, `wizard_sidebar.bmp`).
+- **Official Wiki Branding Guide**: Published comprehensive visual identity standards on the Gitea Wiki at `https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR/wiki/Branding-Guide` detailing logo anatomy, color palettes (Cyber Cyan `#00E5FF`, Emerald `#00FFA3`, Dark Navy `#0E1A2E`), typography, clear-space rules, dos and don'ts, and strict non-SIEM positioning.
+- **Unified Interface & Tab Branding**: Implemented transparent vector logos on all web navigation bars and browser tabs across both the LOGAR Server Hub (`:8443`) and Master Licensing Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`).
+- **Clean Installer Bitmaps**: Regenerated 24-bit RGB header bitmaps with seamless white backgrounds (`#FFFFFF`) matching native Windows Inno Setup wizard dialogs.
+- **Automated Asset Pipeline**: Enhanced `compilation/generate_branding_assets.py` to deterministically compile and distribute assets across main repo, compilation subdirectories, and the licensing submodule without third-party graphics dependencies.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.3.2] - 2026-09-27
+
+### 🪟 Windows Installer & Web Portal Enhancements
+- **Project Showcase Landing Page**: Deployed high-impact public homepage at `GET /` on the licensing authority with architecture diagrams, quickstart commands, and direct navigation to Gitea, Wiki, and the Licensing Portal (`/licensing`).
 - **Standalone Windows Binaries & Python Runtime**: Resolved issues with standalone Windows executable execution and bundled runtime paths.
 - **Data Directory Selection & Permissions**: Added custom data directory selection during setup and fixed permissions for background Windows services.
 - **Service Lifecycle & Clean Uninstallation**: Resolved service startup issues and ensured complete cleanup of state files upon uninstallation.

-# LOGAR Linux Edge Forwarder
-
-Standalone compiled binary and automated systemd service distribution for Linux edge servers.
-
---
-
-## Overview
-`Linux_Client.bin` is a self-contained, pre-compiled executable that queries `systemd-journald` via `journalctl`, filters logs directly at the source, auto-enrolls with the central LOGAR hub, and streams candidate events over mutual TLS 1.3 (**mTLS**) to the central hub.
-
-### Key Capabilities
- **Pre-compiled & Dependency-Free**: Ships as a standalone native binary (`Linux_Client.bin`). No Python environment, pip packages, or GnuPG binaries are required on the host.
- **Mutual TLS 1.3 (mTLS) Ingestion**: Streams directly over hardware-authenticated TLS 1.3 sockets with machine-bound client certificates.
- **Automated Client Enrollment**: On first run with an `enrollment_secret`, the client automatically calls `POST /api/client/enroll` on the hub, saves its certificates into `/etc/logar/certs/`, and establishes secure mTLS streaming.
- **Proactive Expiry Check & Reactive Self-Healing**: Before each run, the client evaluates `client.crt` validity. If within 30 days of expiry, it automatically contacts the hub to renew certificates. If the server Root CA rotates or a TLS handshake error occurs, the client catch-heals by re-enrolling immediately and re-establishing connection without human intervention.
- **Source-Level Filtering**: Retains events spanning `INFO`, `WARNING`, and `ERROR` (`journalctl -p warning`). Drops debug noise and skips events older than 24 hours.
- **State Tracking & Deduplication**: Maintains persistent client state in `client_state.json` (tracking systemd journalctl cursors and microsecond timestamps) so every log record is forwarded exactly once without duplicates.
- **Fleet Seat Accounting & License Revocation**: Each enrolled client consumes 1 seat from the hub's master license. If revoked by an administrator via the hub WebUI, socket connections are immediately dropped and blocked until reactivated.
- **Dynamic Seat Expansion & Automatic Hub Synchronization**: The forwarder benefits from the hub's dynamic seat quota expansion; as the hub's license seats are increased and synced with the master authority (`logar.eibl.tech`), edge capacity expands automatically without requiring forwarder configuration changes.
- **Master Authority High Availability (Portainer GitOps)**: The authoritative license server at `logar.eibl.tech` runs containerized via Portainer GitOps with automated pipeline builds, ensuring high availability for client seat verification and renewals.
-
---
-
-## 1. Automated Installation via Script (Recommended)
-
-Run the automated installer script:
-```bash
-sudo ./compilation/install_linux_client.sh "http://<HUB_HOST>:8443" "<ENROLLMENT_SECRET>"
-```
-This script:
-1. Installs the binary to `/opt/logar-client/Linux_Client`.
-2. Creates `/etc/logar/certs` with strict permissions.
-3. Automatically queries `/etc/machine-id` and enrolls with the hub via `curl`.
-4. Deploys, enables, and starts the systemd service unit `/etc/systemd/system/logar-client.service`.
-
---
-
-## 2. Generating & Deploying the Configuration File
-
-### Step 1: Generate `client_config.json` on the Server
-Run the following command on your central LOGAR server:
-```bash
-python src/Server.py --create-client-config --server-host <SERVER_IP_OR_DNS> --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json
-```
- Replace `<SERVER_IP_OR_DNS>` with the reachable IP address or FQDN of your central LOGAR server hub.
- Default mTLS socket port is `9443`; Hermes REST API port is `8443`.
-
-### Step 2: Configuration Structure
-The generated `client_config.json` contains:
-```json
-{
-  "server_host": "192.168.1.100",
-  "server_port": 9443,
-  "hermes_host": "192.168.1.100",
-  "hermes_port": 8443,
-  "enrollment_secret": "a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
-  "cert_dir": "certs",
-  "server_fingerprint": "375388960531264EA0648EC0D2C4E4ABC6F22AC2",
-  "server_public_key": "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----\n...",
-  "auth_token": "a1b2c3d4e5f6..."
-}
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The configuration contains **no host-specific names or site names** to ensure client anonymity and easy redistribution.
-
-### Step 3: Copy to Edge Node
-Place `Linux_Client.bin` and `client_config.json` into the target directory (e.g. `/opt/logar/`):
-```bash
-sudo mkdir -p /opt/logar
-sudo cp Linux_Client.bin client_config.json /opt/logar/
-sudo chmod +x /opt/logar/Linux_Client.bin
-```
-
---
-
-## 3. Running Manually
-
-Test the forwarder interactively:
-```bash
-cd /opt/logar
-./Linux_Client.bin --hours 24
-```
-On first run, the client contacts `http://<hermes_host>:<hermes_port>/api/client/enroll`, downloads `ca.crt`, `client.crt`, and `client.key` into `certs/`, and streams logs over mTLS.
-
-### Command-Line Arguments
-| Argument | Default | Description |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `--config` | `client_config.json` | Path to client configuration file |
-| `--hours` | `24` | Lookback window in hours for journal logs |
-| `--state-file` | `client_state.json` | Path to persistent state file |
-| `--no-state` | `False` | Disable state tracking and send all events matching lookback window |
-
---
-
-## 4. Manual Systemd Service & Timer Setup
-
-### Step 1: Create the Systemd Service Unit
-Create `/etc/systemd/system/logar-client.service`:
-```ini
-[Unit]
-Description=LOGAR Edge Log Forwarder
-After=network-online.target
-Wants=network-online.target
-
-[Service]
-Type=simple
-WorkingDirectory=/opt/logar
-ExecStart=/opt/logar/Linux_Client.bin --hours 24
-Restart=always
-RestartSec=5s
-User=root
-StandardOutput=journal
-StandardError=journal
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-
-### Step 2: Enable and Start the Service
-```bash
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-sudo systemctl enable --now logar-client.service
-```
-
-### Step 3: Check Logs
-```bash
-sudo journalctl -u logar-client.service -n 50 -f
-```
-
---
-
-## 5. Uninstallation & Removal
-
-```bash
-sudo systemctl disable --now logar-client.service
-sudo rm -f /etc/systemd/system/logar-client.service
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-sudo rm -rf /opt/logar-client /opt/logar /etc/logar

-# LOGAR Linux Server Hub
-
-Standalone compiled binary and automated systemd service distribution for Linux server environments (`Server.bin`).
-
---
-
-## Overview
-
-`Server.bin` is a self-contained, pre-compiled Linux ELF executable that operates as the central coordination, log analysis, dynamic PKI, and reporting hub of the LOGAR telemetry architecture.
-
-### Key Architecture & Capabilities
- **Pre-compiled & Dependency-Free**: Ships as a standalone native Linux ELF binary (`Server.bin`). No Python runtime, pip dependencies, or GnuPG binaries are required on the host system.
- **Mutual TLS 1.3 (mTLS) Ingestion (Port 9443)**: Enforces mutual TLS 1.3 authentication for all incoming edge connections. Validates client certificates against an internal Subordinate CA and verifies active licensing in SQLite.
- **Master License Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) & Seat-Bearing CA**: Integrates with the upstream authority. Subordinate CA certificates embed exact seat quotas via custom enterprise X.509 OID `1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.1`.
- **Zero-Touch mTLS Renewals**: Once initial signed CA cert is imported, the server hub automatically executes in-flight mTLS renewals with `https://logar.eibl.tech/api/license/renew` when nearing expiration (< 30 days).
- **Fleet Management & WebUI Dashboard (Port 8443)**: Modern browser WebUI accessible at `http://localhost:8443/webui` to monitor seat quotas, export `.lic` request files, copy CA CSRs, activate signed CA certs, and revoke/reactivate forwarder seats with immediate socket enforcement.
- **Direct Hermes Intelligence & Temporal Telemetry**: All ingested actionable anomalies (`WARNING`, `ERROR`, `INFO`) are immediately promoted to `VERIFIED` and surfaced directly to Hermes with rich temporal metadata (run counts, timestamps) across a rolling 12-hour evaluation window, allowing Hermes AI to perform all contextual reasoning and decisions.
- **Embedded Hermes Reporting API (Port 8443)**: Integrated REST API exposing `/api/hermes/report`, `/api/clients`, and `/api/client/enroll`.
- **State Database**: Stores issue lifecycle records, client telemetry, and licensing quotas in a local SQLite database (`logar_state.db`).
-
---
-
-## 1. Automated Installation via Script (Recommended)
-
-Deploy using the automated installer:
-```bash
-sudo ./compilation/install_linux_server.sh
-```
-This script:
-1. Installs the server binary to `/opt/logar-server/Server`.
-2. Creates `/etc/logar` and `/var/log/logar`.
-3. Deploys, enables, and starts the systemd service unit `/etc/systemd/system/logar-server.service` with `LimitNOFILE=65536`.
-
---
-
-## 2. Initializing & Generating Server Configuration
-
-### Step 1: Automatic First-Run Generation
-When launched without an existing `server_config.json`, `Server.bin` automatically generates:
-1. An internal Root CA (`certs/ca.crt` and `certs/ca.key`).
-2. A server TLS certificate (`certs/server.crt` and `certs/server.key`) with SANs.
-3. An OpenPGP RSA-2048 keypair (`private_key` and `public_key`).
-4. Cryptographically random authentication tokens and enrollment secrets.
-5. Default network socket coordinates (mTLS 9443, Hermes API 8443).
-
-Run `Server.bin` once to initialize:
-```bash
-./Server.bin
-```
-Output:
-```
-[!] Config 'server_config.json' not found. Initializing first-run configuration...

-## 3. Exporting Client Configurations
-
-Generate a client configuration bundle to deploy onto Windows or Linux forwarders:
-```bash

-```
-The WebUI provides:
-1. **Real-time Seat Quota Meter**: Visual meter displaying active clients against approved seat quota.
-2. **Export .lic Request**: 1-click download of `logar_server.lic` containing your Subordinate CA CSR and machine fingerprint for `logar.eibl.tech`.
-3. **Import License (.lic / ca.crt)**: Modal to paste or upload the activated `.lic` package or `ca.crt` issued by `logar.eibl.tech`. Activating updates your seat limit immediately and reloads mTLS context in-flight.
-4. **Sync & Renew via mTLS**: Button to test or trigger immediate mTLS renewal against `logar.eibl.tech` and pull seat quota increases without restart.
-5. **Client Seat Management**: View all enrolled nodes; click **Revoke Seat** to immediately drop and block an edge node at the socket layer, or **Reactivate** to restore access.
-
-### CLI Licensing Utilities
-Export a `.lic` request file via CLI:
-```bash
-./Server.bin --export-lic server.lic
-```
-Import an activated `.lic` license package or signed CA certificate via CLI:
-```bash
-./Server.bin --import-lic activated.lic
-# Or alternatively with --import-ca:
-./Server.bin --import-ca ca.crt
-```
-Synchronize license and check for seat quota increases against the master authority:

-# LOGAR Windows Edge Forwarder
-
-Standalone compiled executable and installer distribution for Windows Server and workstation environments.
-
---
-
-## Overview
-`Win_Client.exe` is a self-contained executable that queries the Windows Application Event Log, filters candidate events at the source, auto-enrolls with the central LOGAR hub to receive signed mTLS certificates, and streams records over mutual TLS 1.3 (**mTLS**) socket connection.
-
-### Key Capabilities
- **Pre-compiled & Dependency-Free**: Ships as a standalone native Windows executable (`Win_Client.exe`) or full installer (`LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe`). No Python installation, pip packages, or GnuPG binaries are required on the host.
- **Mutual TLS 1.3 (mTLS) Ingestion**: Streams directly over hardware-authenticated TLS 1.3 sockets with hardware/machine-bound client certificates.
- **Automated Client Enrollment**: On first run with an `enrollment_secret`, the client automatically calls `POST /api/client/enroll` on the hub, saves its certificates into `certs/`, and establishes secure mTLS streaming.
- **Proactive Expiry Check & Reactive Self-Healing**: Before each run, the client evaluates `client.crt` validity. If within 30 days of expiry, it automatically contacts the hub to renew certificates. If the server Root CA rotates or a TLS handshake error occurs, the client catch-heals by re-enrolling immediately and re-establishing connection without human intervention.
- **Source-Level Filtering**: Retains events spanning `INFO`, `WARNING`, and `ERROR`. Strips audit events and debug noise, skipping events older than 24 hours.
- **State Tracking & Deduplication**: Maintains persistent client state in `client_state.json` (tracking event record numbers and timestamp signatures) so every log record is forwarded exactly once without duplicates.
- **Fleet Seat Accounting & License Revocation**: Each enrolled client consumes 1 seat from the hub's master license. If revoked by an administrator via the hub WebUI, socket connections are immediately dropped and blocked until reactivated.
- **Dynamic Seat Expansion & Automatic Hub Synchronization**: The forwarder benefits from the hub's dynamic seat quota expansion; as the hub's license seats are increased and synced with the master authority (`logar.eibl.tech`), edge capacity expands automatically without requiring forwarder configuration changes.
- **Master Authority High Availability (Portainer GitOps)**: The authoritative license server at `logar.eibl.tech` runs containerized via Portainer GitOps with automated pipeline builds, ensuring high availability for client seat verification and renewals.
-
---
-
-## 1. Automated Installation via Inno Setup (Recommended)
-
-Run the self-contained installer built from `compilation/installer_client.iss`:
-```powershell
-.\LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe
-```
-This installer:
-1. Installs `Win_Client.exe` and bundled `nssm.exe` to `C:\Program Files\LOGAR\`.
-2. Sets up directory permissions in `C:\ProgramData\LOGAR\`.
-3. Registers and starts the `LOGAR_Client` Windows service automatically via NSSM.
-4. Redirects stdout and stderr logs to `C:\ProgramData\LOGAR\client.log` and `client_err.log`.
-
---
-
-## 2. Generating & Deploying the Configuration File
-
-### Step 1: Generate `client_config.json` on the Server
-Run the following command on your central LOGAR server:
-```bash
-python src/Server.py --create-client-config --server-host <SERVER_IP_OR_DNS> --server-port 9443 --client-out client_config.json
-```
- Replace `<SERVER_IP_OR_DNS>` with the reachable IP address or FQDN of your central LOGAR server hub.
- Default mTLS socket port is `9443`; Hermes REST API port is `8443`.
-
-### Step 2: Configuration Structure
-The generated `client_config.json` contains:
-```json
-{
-  "server_host": "192.168.1.100",
-  "server_port": 9443,
-  "hermes_host": "192.168.1.100",
-  "hermes_port": 8443,
-  "enrollment_secret": "a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
-  "cert_dir": "certs",
-  "server_fingerprint": "375388960531264EA0648EC0D2C4E4ABC6F22AC2",
-  "server_public_key": "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----\n...",
-  "auth_token": "a1b2c3d4e5f6..."
-}
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The configuration contains **no host-specific names or site names** to ensure client anonymity and easy redistribution.
-
-### Step 3: Copy to Edge Node
-Place `client_config.json` next to `Win_Client.exe` (e.g. `C:\Program Files\LOGAR\` or `C:\LOGAR\`):
-```powershell
-New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "C:\LOGAR" -Force
-Copy-Item "Win_Client.exe", "client_config.json" -Destination "C:\LOGAR\"
-```
-
---
-
-## 3. Running Manually
-
-Test the forwarder interactively from PowerShell or Command Prompt:
-```powershell
-cd C:\LOGAR
-.\Win_Client.exe --hours 24
-```
-On first run, the client contacts `http://<hermes_host>:<hermes_port>/api/client/enroll`, downloads `ca.crt`, `client.crt`, and `client.key` into `certs/`, and streams logs over mTLS.
-
-### Command-Line Arguments
-| Argument | Default | Description |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `--config` | `client_config.json` | Path to client configuration file |
-| `--hours` | `24` | Lookback window in hours for event logs |
-| `--state-file` | `client_state.json` | Path to persistent state tracking file |
-| `--no-state` | `False` | Disable state tracking and send all events matching lookback window |
-
---
-
-## 4. Manual Service Installation (NSSM or Scheduled Task)
-
-### Method A: Windows Service via Bundled NSSM
-```powershell
-# From the compilation directory or with bundled nssm.exe:
-.\nssm.exe install LOGAR_Client "C:\LOGAR\Win_Client.exe" "--hours 24"
-.\nssm.exe set LOGAR_Client AppDirectory "C:\LOGAR"
-.\nssm.exe set LOGAR_Client AppStdout "C:\ProgramData\LOGAR\client.log"
-.\nssm.exe set LOGAR_Client AppStderr "C:\ProgramData\LOGAR\client_err.log"
-.\nssm.exe start LOGAR_Client
-```
-
-### Method B: Windows Scheduled Task via PowerShell
-```powershell
-$Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "C:\LOGAR\Win_Client.exe" -Argument "--hours 24" -WorkingDirectory "C:\LOGAR"
-$Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Once -At (Get-Date) -RepetitionInterval (New-TimeSpan -Hours 3)
-$Settings = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -AllowStartIfOnBatteries -DontStopIfGoingOnBatteries -StartWhenAvailable -ExecutionTimeLimit (New-TimeSpan -Minutes 15)
-
-Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "LOGAR_Forwarder" `
-                       -Action $Action `
-                       -Trigger $Trigger `
-                       -Settings $Settings `
-                       -User "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" `
-                       -RunLevel Highest `
-                       -Description "LOGAR Windows Edge Log Forwarder Service"
-
-Start-ScheduledTask -TaskName "LOGAR_Forwarder"
-```

-# LOGAR Windows Server Hub
-
-Standalone compiled executable and installer distribution for Windows Server environments (`Server.exe`).
-
---
-
-## Overview
-
-`Server.exe` is a self-contained, pre-compiled native Windows PE executable that serves as the central log aggregation, temporal persistence analyzer, dynamic PKI certificate authority, and reporting hub of the LOGAR infrastructure.
-
-### Key Architecture & Capabilities
- **Pre-compiled & Dependency-Free**: Ships as a standalone Windows executable (`Server.exe`) or full installer (`LOGAR-Server-Setup.exe`). No Python installation, pip packages, or GnuPG binaries are required on Windows Server.
- **Mutual TLS 1.3 (mTLS) Ingestion (Port 9443)**: Enforces mutual TLS 1.3 authentication for all incoming edge connections. Validates client certificates against an internal Subordinate CA and verifies active licensing in SQLite.
- **Master License Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) & Seat-Bearing CA**: Integrates with the upstream authority. Subordinate CA certificates embed exact seat quotas via custom enterprise X.509 OID `1.3.6.1.4.1.59999.1.1`.
- **Zero-Touch mTLS Renewals**: Once initial signed CA cert is imported, the server hub automatically executes in-flight mTLS renewals with `https://logar.eibl.tech/api/license/renew` when nearing expiration (< 30 days).
- **Fleet Management & WebUI Dashboard (Port 8443)**: Modern browser WebUI accessible at `http://localhost:8443/webui` to monitor seat quotas, export `.lic` request files, copy CA CSRs, activate signed CA certs, and revoke/reactivate forwarder seats with immediate socket enforcement.
- **Direct Hermes Intelligence & Temporal Telemetry**: All ingested actionable anomalies (`WARNING`, `ERROR`, `INFO`) are immediately promoted to `VERIFIED` and surfaced directly to Hermes with rich temporal metadata (run counts, timestamps) across a rolling 12-hour evaluation window, allowing Hermes AI to perform all contextual reasoning and decisions.
- **Embedded Hermes Reporting API (Port 8443)**: Integrated REST API exposing `/api/hermes/report`, `/api/clients`, and `/api/client/enroll`.
- **State Database**: Stores issue lifecycle records, client telemetry, and licensing quotas in a local SQLite database (`logar_state.db`).

-
-Run the self-contained installer built from `compilation/installer_server.iss`:
-```powershell

-This installer:
-1. Installs `Server.exe` and bundled `nssm.exe` to `C:\Program Files\LOGAR-Server\`.
-2. Registers and starts the `LOGAR_Server` Windows service automatically via NSSM.
-3. Redirects stdout and stderr logs to `C:\ProgramData\LOGAR-Server\server.log` and `server_err.log`.
-
---
-
-## 2. Initializing & Generating Server Configuration
-
-### Step 1: Automatic First-Run Generation
-When launched without an existing `server_config.json`, `Server.exe` automatically initializes:
-1. An internal Root CA (`certs/ca.crt` and `certs/ca.key`).
-2. A server TLS certificate (`certs/server.crt` and `certs/server.key`) with SANs.
-3. An OpenPGP RSA-2048 keypair (`private_key` and `public_key`).
-4. Cryptographically random authentication tokens and enrollment secrets.
-5. Default network socket coordinates (mTLS 9443, Hermes API 8443).
-
-Open PowerShell and run:
-```powershell
-.\Server.exe
-```
-Output:
-```
-[!] Config 'server_config.json' not found. Initializing first-run configuration...
-[+] Successfully generated new server config and OpenPGP keypair.
