The generated vector config is a snapshot of the app list and their sink properties, but it was only ever written by `logs:set` and `logs:vector-start`. Renaming an app left a source filtering on a label no container carries and gave the new name no source at all, so the app kept a sink with nothing feeding it. Cloning produced the same result for the clone, and destroying an app left its source and sink behind, the latter still pointing at an endpoint decommissioned along with the app. The global relabel transform embeds app names directly in generated VRL, so a rename also left behind a branch naming an app that no longer existed. Every case was silent, and the only repair was an operator running `logs:vector-start`. The `post-app-clone-setup`, `post-app-rename-setup` and `post-delete` triggers now rewrite the config, warning rather than failing so that a config write cannot abort the app operation whose state it is derived from.
Closes#8918.
The alias was only ever used to build the `include_labels` filter on the generated vector source, while dokku labels containers with `com.dokku.app-name` unconditionally. Setting the property therefore pointed the source at a label no container carries, and log collection stopped without any error. The source now always filters the label dokku applies, and a generated remap renames the field on its way to the sink, which is what the property was documented to do. An app whose own alias differs from the global one gets a branch in the global pipeline, so a per-app value is honored even when the app ships through the global sink.
Closes#8916.
Scheduled cron task output previously reached only the `dokku` user's cron mail, and could not be redirected because `app.json` rejects bare shell operators in a cron `command`. Setting `vector-cron-sink` on an app or globally routes that output to a dedicated sink instead, on both the `docker-local` and `k3s` schedulers, which keeps log destinations under operator control rather than in a deployed repository. Cron events carry `dokku_app` and `dokku_cron_id` fields so a sink can give each task its own destination. This also fixes a `k3s` bug where configuring a global `vector-sink` silently removed the vector prometheus exporter sink.
Every Go-implemented plugin's `:report --format json` now emits keys without the redundant `<plugin>-` head segment, matching the shape bash plugins have always emitted. The CLI flag names and `:set` semantics are unchanged. For backwards compatibility during the 0.38.x patch series, the legacy `<plugin>-<property>` keys are emitted side-by-side with the new keys, and a future major release will drop the legacy keys. `common.ReportSingleApp` is refactored to accept a `ReportSingleAppInput` struct with a `Validate()` method so the input is checked before any work runs, which also catches the latent `"docker options"` reportType bug at the API boundary.
Renames the existing `## Internal properties` umbrella section to `## Properties` across all plugin docs and adds a new `### Settable properties` subsection enumerating every property accepted by each plugin's `:set` command. Each row lists scope, default, the actual `:report` flag shapes that surface the value, and a one-line description. The buildpacks plugin is included even though it uses `:set-property`, with a note in the subsection clarifying the legacy command name. Property lists, scopes, and report flags were verified against plugin source and the live dokku binary.
The Docker daemon refuses any endpoint settings on the default bridge network and `docker compose` unconditionally attaches the service name as an alias on every joined network, so combining bridge with user-defined networks via compose's `networks:` block is impossible. When `vector-networks` is set, the compose template now joins only the configured networks; outbound to external sinks still works through user-defined network NAT. Additionally, `vector-image` and `vector-networks` are both global-only but `common.CommandPropertySet` silently accepts them at app level by merging global-only keys into the valid-property set, so both now reject explicitly in `validateSetValue`.
Adds a new global `vector-networks` property on the logs plugin that takes a comma-separated list of Docker networks. When set, the rendered compose file declares each network plus `bridge` as external and joins them on the vector service, so `docker compose up` reconciles attachments on every `logs:vector-start`. When unset, the existing `network_mode: bridge` template is preserved unchanged. The value is validated against `docker network inspect` at set time, rejects the reserved `bridge` entry, and is surfaced in `dokku logs:report` via `--logs-vector-global-networks`.
While it is unfortunate that we don't store logs locally, doing so is actually a fairly difficult ask. Rather than pretending the problem doesn't exist, we'll clarify how logs are currently fetched, as well as point users to integrations/tools that may make their lives easier.

This can be useful in cases where a developer wishes to see what error messages are available for a failed deploy, but does not wish to spelunk around `docker ps -a` output.
Note that the logs are not made available once a further deploy is triggered, or after the containers have been garbage collected.
