First-run setup status + admin-form prefills

GET

/setup/status

• Local development behind nginx (port 8088 by default)

Returns whether the system still needs first-run setup, plus read-only deployment info (DB host/port, storage backend) and any prefill values the admin’s deploy environment provided via AA_SETUP_DEFAULT_* env vars. Anonymous access — this is the first thing a brand-new install renders.

public_mode

required

True when the install serves its public read surface to anonymous visitors. The frontend reads this to decide whether a signed-out visitor may stay on a public route or must be sent to the sign-in page; the server enforces the same setting independently, so this field is a rendering hint and never the access decision.

It rides on this endpoint because the frontend already calls it first on every navigation, before it knows whether a session exists — so the flag is available at the moment the routing decision is made, without a second request.

500

Unexpected server error
