This was initally generated by ai, but later has been heavily edited.
The reason why it has been implemented is that there are plans to
implement more features to ui, but it becomes hard to add new features
to plain js, so I decided to rewrite it in typescript.
Yet because it is still ai slop, it is still possible to enable old
interface via configuration, even though new interface is turned on by
default to get feedback
It has been found that during cold start (e.g. in docker container),
some permissions are invalid. In order to handle that, some operations
are not guarded with RepositoryPaths.preserve_root guard
In addition, it has been also found that in some cases (e.g. web server
start) migrations are performed on empty repository identifier which may
lead to wrong data (see also 435375721d),
as well as some unexpected results during database operations. In order
to handle that, now all watcher instances have their own databases (and
configurations)
Add naive implementation of user password check by calling su command.
Also change some authentication method to require username to be string
instead of optional string
