Lets users create containers from the WebUI (image/name/ports/volumes/
env/network mode/restart policy/privileged) instead of only managing
existing ones, and adds a Templates panel to save/reuse those configs
as Unraid-Docker-compatible template XML, including browsing and
importing the host's own existing Docker Manager templates directly.
Also fixes bugs found via live testing along the way: container names
with spaces/invalid characters now get a clear client- and server-side
error with a suggested fix instead of podman's raw API error, the New
Container modal's backdrop no longer renders transparent (was being
appended outside the .podman-plugin CSS scope), and modal buttons now
have real visual hierarchy (ghost/primary/danger) after Unraid's own
site-wide button theme was found to override plain single-class rules.

- Package #9-11: catatonit (pod infra init), nftables (netavark firewall
backend), docker-compose (external compose provider for `podman compose`)
— all vendored prebuilt binaries, versions.env pinned, propagated through
build-packages.sh/release.sh/podman.plg/verify+update-packages.sh.
- Fix WebUI: every POST action was silently failing (empty response body)
because Unraid's own CSRF protection was never satisfied — app.js now
sends the page's csrf_token as X-CSRF-Token.
- Fix WebUI: PodmanClient::pullImage() assumed a single JSON response, but
/images/pull actually streams newline-delimited JSON — every successful
pull was throwing "Expected a JSON object/array response".
- Fix WebUI: compose.php's up/down status detection had the same
single-JSON-vs-NDJSON bug for `podman compose ps`, plus stderr was
corrupting the parse.
- Add cache-busting (?v=<mtime>) to Podman.page's script/style tags so a
redeployed JS/CSS fix isn't served stale from browser cache.
- Add a reusable modal dialog (app.js openFormModal) replacing
prompt()/alert() for New Volume/Network/Pull Image.
- Add host-path (bind-mount) support when creating a named volume.
- Add Create Container (image, name, network mode incl. custom networks,
ports, volumes, env, restart policy, privileged, start-after-create),
auto-pulling the image on first use since /containers/create doesn't.
All fixes verified live against a real podman system service and, where
reachable, via the actual WebUI over the real socket — not just unit-level.

- versions.env pins podman, conmon, crun, netavark, aardvark-dns, passt,
and fuse-overlayfs to verified upstream source checksums; SlackBuild
recipes, scripts/build-packages.sh, checksums.sh, release.sh, and
update-versions.sh implement the reproducible pipeline; GitHub Actions
workflows build in a Slackware container and publish releases without
committing any binaries.
- plugin/podman.plg installs/updates/removes all eight packages (the
seven components plus the plugin's own unraid-podman scaffolding
package) via upgradepkg, using the official Unraid array-event hook
mechanism (event/disks_mounted, event/stopping) instead of editing
/boot/config/go. rc.podman and the sbin/ helper scripts implement
storage creation, config seeding/sync, preflight checks, autostart
with per-container Safe-Mode, and package verify/update/rollback.
- webui/plugins/podman implements the Dashboard, Containers, Pods,
Images, Volumes, Networks, Logs, Terminal, Compose, and Settings
panels against the approved mockup (webui/mockups/prototype.html),
talking to podman system service exclusively via PodmanClient.php
(libpod REST API over the Unix socket), with two documented
exceptions: Terminal's one-shot exec model and Compose's use of the
podman compose CLI, since libpod has no REST equivalent for either.
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md and docs/ROADMAP.md record the design decisions
and honest current status (syntax-checked, unit- and
integration-tested against fake sockets/servers; not yet run against
a real Unraid/Podman/Slackware system).
