Options drained out of the pre-0.38.0 `DOCKER_OPTIONS_<PHASE>` files were copied verbatim rather than re-serialized the way `docker-options:add` stores them, so `docker-options:remove` compared the canonical string it builds against a stored value that could never match it and exited successfully without removing anything. Removal now matches stored options by shell word, and stored options are rewritten into the canonical form once on upgrade, which additionally splits an entry that carried several flags on a single line into one entry per flag so a single flag can be removed and so the readers that match on a flag prefix see one value per entry. The leftover `.migrated` sentinel drain is restored to running ahead of the global short-circuit that had made it unreachable, and the plugin's Go tests are added to the test target that had never run them.
Values supplied through docker options, `--ttl-seconds`, and `-e` flowed into a Bash `eval` during build, deploy, and run, letting a low-privileged user execute arbitrary commands on the host as the dokku user. These arguments are now tokenized and passed through to the container verbatim, without shell expansion. A one-time migration repairs stored labels whose backticks were saved with a stray backslash so Traefik-style rules stay valid on the next deploy.
`dokku ps:set <app> restart-policy` with no value erroneously returned `Invalid restart-policy specified` instead of unsetting the property like every other ps property. The restart policy is now managed as a normal app and global property surfaced through the `--ps-restart-policy`, `--ps-global-restart-policy`, and `--ps-computed-restart-policy` report flags, with the effective value applied at deploy time and existing values migrated on install. Because it is no longer stored as a Docker option it no longer appears in `docker-options:report`, and `--ps-restart-policy` now reports the raw value with the `on-failure:10` default available via `--ps-computed-restart-policy`.
Multi-flag inputs (e.g. `--build-arg X=Y --link a --link b`) used to be stored as a single line, which bypassed the per-line filter that drops `--link` and similar flags for dockerfile-based builders. Each `--flag [value]` group is now stored as its own entry, and a `--process` typed after the app name is lifted into the subcommand flag instead of being stored as a docker option.
The :list subcommand had `SetInterspersed(false)` which forced flags to come before positional arguments; in practice users invoke it as `docker-options:list <app> --process X --phase Y`. Drop the non-interspersed setting so flags can appear after the app name. Two existing buildpacks/dockerfile tests appended directly to the legacy `DOCKER_OPTIONS_DEPLOY` file - that path is no longer the source of truth, so switch them to `docker-options:add`. The new migration test invoked `dokku plugin:trigger install` which fans out to every plugin and trips on unrelated permission errors; call the docker-options install binary directly instead. Tighten the report and JSON assertions to match the actual output format (`.` becomes a space in the display key, and JSON values may concatenate options).
When developing Dokku, it is useful to use a real domain to test actual functionality. This is impossible if the domain is hardcoded to dokku.me in testing.
