installer/SQLInsight.wxs (WiX 3 syntax) builds on Linux with wixl
(installer/build-msi.sh) and in Forgejo CI on every v* tag. Agent and Web
are installed self-contained as Windows services under virtual service
accounts (or a gMSA), with a settings page in the wizard or MSI
properties for silent installs; the values go to sqlinsight.ini, read
after appsettings.json. The data folder is locked to SYSTEM,
Administrators and the agent account, the event log source is
registered, the web port is opened in the firewall, and the automatic
update task is an optional feature. Upgrades happen in place, keep
edited settings and the chosen features; uninstall keeps the settings.
msi-tables.py writes what wixl lacks (component and feature conditions,
Permanent/NeverOverwrite, vital services, REG_EXPAND_SZ) and
verify-msi.py checks the result (sequencing, deferred actions, ASCII
only). test-msi-wine.sh runs install, upgrade and uninstall under Wine.
Installations made with the MSI get new versions as MSI packages run by
the update task, so Windows Installer stays in charge of the files.
The example instance is removed from the shipped appsettings.json, and
the CLI writes UTF-8 to the console.

The hub records when an instance changes build and works out which
findings went away within three days of an update and which were still
there a week later (version rules excluded). Staff see every effect in
the portal; effects seen at three or more customers, resolved more
often than not, are served to licensed agents as anonymous counts
(rule, major version, build, CU, customers, instances). The agent
fetches them every six hours and the web UI shows them on matching
findings: 'at 3 customers this went away after updating to CU21'.
Data processing documentation covers the aggregation.

Rules can now be data: a JSON file with one read-only SELECT where every
row is a finding, with {column} templates, server or per-database scope,
minimum version, sensitive columns and references. Community rules live
in rules/community (reviewed via pull request), ship with every build
and with the signed rule pack; local rules are read from the agent's
data folder every five minutes. Queries are checked for anything that
could write, run with the least-privilege login, and a missing
permission makes the rule not measurable rather than failing. The
rule engine picks up catalog changes without a restart. Authors get
'rules validate' and 'rules test --instance'. Four example community
rules (sa active, orphaned database owners, default trace off,
untrusted foreign keys).

A PDF report for management and auditors (PDFsharp/MigraDoc, MIT, with
the Inter font embedded): key figures, a plain-language summary,
compliance controls backed by rules (met, not met, not measured),
instances and the critical and high findings. Downloadable from the
web UI (/rapporter) and mailed monthly by the agent with the PDF
attached, once per month, across daylight saving changes.

Hub: nightly retention of resolved findings, the submission log and
silent instances; delete-customer erases a customer's data and blocks
its licenses; persistent data protection keys and trusted reverse
proxies. Docker image and compose file with PostgreSQL. The agent
refuses to send the license to a non-https hub. Documentation for the
hub, for data processing (GDPR basis for a data processing agreement)
and the README roadmap for phase 3.

- Managed Instance reports 12.0.2000.8 but is evergreen: treated as the
newest engine with all capabilities; new SelfManagedInfrastructure
capability so backup, CHECKDB, files, tempdb, memory, patch level and
lifecycle rules report 'handled by Azure' instead of false findings
- Microsoft Entra ID login (managed identity, service principal, default
credential chain) via SqlConnection.AccessTokenCallback
- Least-privilege script recognizes Managed Instance; deadlock collector
falls back to the ring buffer when event files cannot be read
- Web UI shows the right release for Managed Instance
- README and installation docs: notifications and Managed Instance
- Catalog test: 61 rules with unique, well-formed ids
Integration suite green on SQL Server 2017 and 2022.

SQLI-VER-002 flags instances behind the newest known CU, security update
or final service pack (catalog as of 2026-09-29, shipped as rule pack
data and called out when older than 120 days).

- .NET 10 solution with Core, Connectivity, Rules, Contracts, Agent, Web and Hub
- Capability model gating collectors and rules by SQL Server version (2000 and later);
rules that cannot run are reported as not measurable, never as passed
- Connectivity via Microsoft.Data.SqlClient with ODBC fallback for legacy instances,
hardened monitoring session settings valid back to SQL Server 2000
- Support lifecycle rule (SQLI-VER-001) with lifecycle data shipped as a rule pack
- Version-aware least-privilege permissions script, verified by integration tests
against SQL Server in Docker (reads monitoring sources, cannot read customer data)
- Forgejo Actions CI, contributing guide, code of conduct, issue templates,
legacy version notes

Least-privilege permissions per version, collector overhead safeguards,
separate repository instance, controlled/offline updates, container test
matrix, and SQL Server 2016 marked as out of support.
