webui: add a recovery mode restart to the maintenance page

[jens-maus]

Original OpenCCU rootfs patch: 0012
Original filename: 0012-WebUI-RecoveryButton.patch
Original patch: https://github.com/OpenCCU/OpenCCU/blob/559a5a504/buildroot-external/package/openccu-base/rootfs-patches/0012-WebUI-RecoveryButton.patch (as prepared by OpenCCU/OpenCCU#4433 and fixed by OpenCCU/OpenCCU#4434 and OpenCCU/OpenCCU#4435)
Original changes: OpenCCU/OpenCCU@184a2311e
Preparation before migration: OpenCCU/OpenCCU#4433 (moves get_platform from rootfs patch 0001 to 0012)
Fixes before migration: OpenCCU/OpenCCU#4434 (platform check and flag handling in RecoveryMode.enter) and OpenCCU/OpenCCU#4435 (reject an unknown platform), both found in the review of this PR

The maintenance page ("Systemsteuerung > Zentralen-Wartung") offers a restart in safe mode, but no way to start the recovery system. OpenCCU's boot loaders (grub.cfg/boot.cmd of all bootable boards) start the recovery system when /usr/local/.recoveryMode exists. This applies the patch 1:1:

• src/webui/www/api/methods.conf and the new src/webui/www/api/methods/recoverymode/enter.tcl: a RecoveryMode.enter API method with LEVEL ADMIN, modeled on SafeMode.enter (CRLF line endings, ISO-8859-1). It returns error 501 on the oci and lxc platforms and error 500 if PLATFORM cannot be read from /VERSION, saves the ReGa state with system.Save(), creates /usr/local/.recoveryMode and reboots. If saving fails, the flag is not created; if the flag cannot be written or the restart cannot be started, it is removed again. The platform check and the flag handling come from fix(webui): harden the recovery mode API of rootfs patch 0012 OpenCCU#4434 and fix(webui): reject recovery mode when the platform is unknown OpenCCU#4435.
• src/webui/www/config/cp_maintenance.cgi: a "Recovery Modus" row with a "Neustart im Recovery Modus" button below the safe mode row. OnEnterRecoveryMode() asks for confirmation, shows the restart message and calls RecoveryMode.enter, like OnEnterSafeMode(). The row is hidden when get_platform returns oci or lxc, which have no recovery system.
• src/webui/www/tcl/eq3_old/common.tcl: the get_platform helper, which reads PLATFORM from /VERSION. refactor(webui): move get_platform from rootfs patch 0001 to 0012 OpenCCU#4433 moved it from rootfs patch 0001 to 0012, so it comes to this repository together with its first user.
• src/webui/www/webui/js/lang/{de,en}/translate.lang.js: the labels, hint and dialog texts of the new row. dialogQuestionRemoveProgram gets the '%s' placeholder for the program name. programlist.htm already calls translateKey('dialogQuestionRemoveProgram').replace(/%s/, _name_) (webui: show the program name in the delete program confirmation #134), so the name now actually appears in the confirmation. The placeholder had been moved to 0012 in build(openccu-base): move the program name of the delete program prompt to patch 0012 OpenCCU#4379.

Line endings and encodings are preserved. The root www/ copies are unused legacy files and are left unchanged.

Other OpenCCU rootfs patches also modify methods.conf (0038, 0044, 0057, 0109, 0131 and 0205), cp_maintenance.cgi (0001, 0007, 0031, 0163, 0164 and 0165) and the language files. They still apply with zero fuzz.

Validation

• OpenCCU scripts/base-patch-migration.py validate with the canonical Buildroot 2026.08 git4 archive of this branch (0b7e897c, sha256 e0b912d6e8d98926a7067a165c87d8565146c321481fc773225de2f1219c5b65) and --skip-patch 0012, on the branch of fix(webui): reject recovery mode when the platform is unknown OpenCCU#4435 (b25c34dbf, identical to OpenCCU master 559a5a504 after its merge; current pin 072f4e2b): PASS (the other 56 rootfs patches apply with zero fuzz).
• compare against a validation of the current pin 072f4e2b with all 57 patches on that branch: IDENTICAL (4666 entries).
• RecoveryMode.enter was tested with tclsh and stubs for rega/jsonrpc_* (oci/lxc rejected, unknown platform rejected, normal case, failing save, failing restart); see fix(webui): harden the recovery mode API of rootfs patch 0012 OpenCCU#4434 and fix(webui): reject recovery mode when the platform is unknown OpenCCU#4435.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds an admin API method that marks the system for Recovery Mode and starts a reboot. The maintenance page exposes the action outside OCI and LXC platforms, with confirmation and restart messages in English and German.

Changes: Recovery Mode

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Recovery Mode API src/webui/www/api/methods.conf, src/webui/www/api/methods/recoverymode/enter.tcl	Adds the RecoveryMode.enter admin method. Its script checks platform support, saves system settings, writes /usr/local/.recoveryMode, starts a delayed reboot, and returns true.
Maintenance page and platform support src/webui/www/tcl/eq3_old/common.tcl, src/webui/www/config/cp_maintenance.cgi, src/webui/www/webui/js/lang/{en,de}/translate.lang.js	Adds platform detection and a Recovery Mode action for platforms other than OCI and LXC. The page confirms the request and displays a restart message. English and German translations add related labels, prompts, and hints.

Recovery Mode restart works as intended in the normal case. Two edge cases remain. If the platform cannot be detected, the restart could run on an unsupported platform. If two admin requests overlap and one fails, it could remove the recovery marker that the other request still needs. Both are low-likelihood cases that the owner should be aware of.

- Around line 15-17: In the recovery-mode entry flow, save state with `rega
system.Save()` before creating the recovery marker. If the reboot command fails,
remove the marker before returning the error so a later restart does not enter
Recovery Mode unexpectedly.
- Line 12: Update RecoveryMode.enter to check get_platform before creating the
recovery marker; reject requests on oci and lxc without saving or rebooting, and
preserve the existing flow on supported platforms.

- Line 15: Update the platform-detection catch in the recovery-mode request
handler to return an error when `/VERSION` cannot be opened or read or leaves
`platform` empty. Perform this validation before saving settings, writing the
marker, or starting a reboot; proceed only when platform detection succeeds.
- Line 37: Update cleanup of FLAG_FILE so a request deletes the marker only if
it still owns the exact file it created; capture its identity after creation and
re-check that identity immediately before deletion. Alternatively, serialize
marker creation, reboot initiation, and cleanup so overlapping requests cannot
replace or remove one another’s marker.
