Twenty-five prompts asked only "Are you sure?", and on the storage page
one handler asked the same before every button, Start and Enable
included. Each destructive button now names its object and says what
happens: a stopped network cuts running VMs off, a deleted pool keeps
its files, a deleted volume loses its data, a reverted snapshot loses
the changes made since. Saves no longer ask, and disabled buttons lose
prompts they could not show. The VM QoS messages said to restart the
network where the VM has to be powered off and on.

Column offsets without a breakpoint applied below it, where the column
is already full width, so the change password, compute, user, VM
create and VM settings forms ran past the right edge on a phone. Each
offset now starts at its column's breakpoint. The interface and network
detail lists were rows directly inside rows and sit in a column now;
the compute form loses a Bootstrap 3 thumbnail padding that broke its
gutters, and the add-rule dialog's hint is no longer cut off. The page
test checks both grid rules on every page.

Twenty tables had no .table-responsive wrapper, so on a phone the user
list, compute list, VM lists, network and network filter pages scrolled
sideways as a whole. Each table now scrolls inside its box, as the
other ten already did. The page test walks the network page too, and
checks that every table on every page has the wrapper.

The pool, network and interface cards had a solid green or red header
with light text, and status words (Connected, ON, OFF, the DRBD state)
were in the theme's green or red text colour. axe found them below the
WCAG AA 4.5:1 contrast on the live theme (4.29:1, 3.52:1), on the
default zephyr theme, whose green is light (2.5:1), and on dark themes
(darkly 1.18:1).
The card headers, and the status words as badges, are now the theme's
pale status background with its dark status text (bg-*-subtle with
text-*-emphasis). Bootstrap derives the pair from each theme's palette,
and it does not depend on the page's background: the dark Bootswatch
themes keep light-mode emphasis colours, which on their own would be
dark text on a dark page. The card border keeps the status colour.
An accessibility scan with every modal opened found 49 fields without a
name: the labels of the instance create forms (custom, template and each
flavor's modal), the interface, network, secret and storage pool modals
did not point at their fields. Each label now has a for= and its field an
id, prefixed per form (and per flavor), so a click on the label focuses
the field too. The "Advanced" collapse buttons and the memory and
processing bars are named.
The VCPU config select had id="vcpu_mode" in each of these forms, nine
times on the create page; the unique-ID test did not see it as the test
driver reports no CPU modes. The id goes (nothing used it), and the test
now renders that branch.
An accessibility scan (axe-core, WCAG 2 A/AA) of every page found 87
elements without a name. Icon-only buttons and links (the navbar's
administration menu on every page, the add/create buttons, the flavor
delete and back buttons) get a title, which is also their tooltip; the
labels of the language, architecture, chipset and filter selects point
at them; the memory bar is named. The shared delete confirmation page
had an empty <title> and heading, as no view passes "title": it says
"Delete <object>". The power-off form's aria-label was misspelled.
Rendered through every URL on libvirt's test driver, the pages had
duplicate IDs and markup browsers repaired silently:
- Each flavor modal's "Advanced" button toggled #flav-add-collapse, the
first modal's section; every modal now has its own. The flavor and
template copies of the custom tab's control IDs, and the template
tab's unused images input, are gone.
- The VM page's action icons and the XML editors were styled by
repeated IDs; they use classes.
- Modal forms opened inside modal-body and closed after modal-footer;
they wrap both. Stray end tags and duplicate attributes are removed,
paragraphs no longer hold modals or rows, table heads have a row, and
the create page closes its row and column.
- html lang is the active language instead of "en".
A test walks every URL as a superuser and fails on a repeated ID. The
console page still has no doctype: its full-height layout relies on
quirks mode and needs its own check.
libvirt's udev interface backend (RHEL 9 and later, Debian 12) only reads
interfaces, so the create form and the start, stop and delete buttons
only failed there. The pages ask the host with an invalid definition,
which defines nothing: a backend without define refuses it as not
supported. There they show the interface state and a note instead, and
posts change nothing; the host's devices, needed only by the create
form, are not read. Any other answer keeps the pages as they were.
The IPv4 address and gateway were required even for DHCP or no IPv4, so
such an interface could not be created; malformed addresses passed and a
missing prefix crashed the XML builder. They are validated like the IPv6
fields now (netmask notation accepted, IPv6 scope ids rejected), and a
static address without a gateway gets no empty route. Interface names
follow the Linux rule (up to 15 letters, digits, . _ -). A bridge member,
or the device an ethernet interface configures, must be a device of the
host (the page no longer falls back to made-up names), a bridge cannot
contain itself, and needs STP and a non-negative delay.
The form checked both with re.match("^[0-9a-f./:]+|^$"), which tests
only how a value starts: "2001:db8::10/64'/><evil/>" passed and went
into the interface XML, which is built with f-strings, while upper-case
hex was refused. An address without a prefix passed too and then failed
with a ValueError when the XML was built.
The address is parsed with ipaddress.IPv6Interface and stored as
address/prefix (/128 when none is given), the gateway with
IPv6Address. A static configuration needs an address, and the XML gets
a route only when a gateway is given instead of gateway=''. The HTML
patterns accept upper-case hex.
Eight of the ten form and XML checks fail on the previous code.
