Summarizes every server's agent-reported listening ports in one cross-server table (grouped by protocol+port, addresses merged, loopback-only flagged) - previously this only existed per-server on each server's own detail page. Adds a second table for ports this app has no way to see on its own: manually-recorded openings on a router, edge firewall, or cloud security group, each with a label, external port/protocol, an optional link to a tracked server (with its own internal port when NAT changes it) or a freeform destination, a free-text source, and a comment. Viewer-readable; adding/editing/deleting needs operator or admin. The agent-port grouping logic (dedupe by protocol+port, detect loopback-only sockets) was shared with the existing per-server Ports card via a new agentPorts.ts service instead of duplicating it. Verified with a real HTTP-level test: a genuine Express app with the actual routers, a scratch SQLite DB, and forged admin/viewer sessions, covering grouping correctness, the server-name join, input validation, and role enforcement - the real dev DB was confirmed untouched.

Roles & menu access
Homelab Manager has three roles, ranked lowest to highest: viewer, operator, admin. The first person to sign in becomes admin; everyone after that starts as viewer until an admin changes their role under Administration → Users.
A role can do everything the roles below it can, plus what's listed for it — operator includes everything viewer has, admin includes everything operator has.
Sidebar menu, by role
✅ = the menu item appears for that role · ❌ = it's hidden entirely (not just disabled) — a group that would end up with zero visible items disappears too, and a group left with exactly one just shows as that page's own top-level link.
| Menu item | Path | Viewer | Operator | Admin |

So in practice: every page is visible to every role except the five under Administration — Users, Sessions, and Diagnostic Log need admin; Audit Log needs operator or admin; Settings needs admin.
Being able to see a page isn't the same as being able to change things
Almost every page above is visible to viewers, but most of the buttons on them aren't — a viewer can look at everything but can't act on anything. Operators can use the page's normal working actions (starting a container, syncing DNS, adding a secret, opening a maintenance window…). Some actions on otherwise-viewer-visible pages are held back even further, to admin only:
- Integrations & DNS providers: any operator can use an integration once it's configured (start/stop a guest, run a template, sync DNS records, etc.), but adding, editing, testing, or deleting an integration or DNS provider is admin-only.
- Servers: registering a new server, rotating its agent token, and editing/deleting a server are admin-only; tagging a server and linking/unlinking it to a Proxmox guest just need operator.
- Tags: creating, renaming, recoloring, or deleting a tag is admin-only (applying an existing tag to a server needs operator).
- Ports: everyone can see both the agent-reported and manual tables; adding, editing, or deleting a manual port opening needs operator.
- Everything under Settings (notification channels, badge colors, display prefs, log retention, backup/restore) is admin-only, matching the page itself being admin-only.
If you need the exact role for one specific button rather than this
summary, check the corresponding route in server/src/routes/ — each
one that needs more than "signed in" calls requireRole("operator") or
requireRole("admin") right where that action is defined.
