Add total upstream count retrieval to UpstreamService

- Added transaction support in `add_upstream_target`, `remove_upstream`, `remove_upstream_target`, `update_upstream`, and `update_upstream_target` functions to ensure atomicity of operations.
- Updated the `NginxService` to include methods for validating and applying configurations using the agent service.
- Enhanced error handling in agent service interactions, returning appropriate internal server errors when agent communication fails.
- Introduced mock agent service for testing, allowing for simulation of agent interactions without actual network calls.
- Refactored tests to cover scenarios where agent operations fail, ensuring that internal server errors are returned as expected.

+# yanpm-agent Documentation
+
+This directory contains in-depth documentation for the yanpm agent daemon (the binary built from `apps/agent`). The agent exposes a unix-socket HTTP API for writing nginx configuration fragments, validating them, and reloading nginx safely.
+
+Docs included:
+
+- `architecture.md` — Detailed explanation of the program flow and components.
+- `configuration.md` — CLI flags, environment variables, defaults, and permission handling.
+- `usage.md` — How to run the agent, curl examples, and systemd/docker hints.
+- `api.md` — HTTP API endpoints, request and response schemas, examples.
+- `deployment.md` — Deployment considerations, permissions, and systemd socket/unit examples.
+- `troubleshooting.md` — Common errors and solutions.
+
+For implementation details, see the source in `apps/agent/src` (notably `main.rs`, `routes.rs`, and the `commands/` submodule).
+
+Integration notes
+
+- The agent is intended to run as a companion agent for the API service in `apps/api`. The API service calls the agent over the unix-domain socket to write nginx fragments, validate them, and trigger reloads.
+- A production Docker image is provided by `apps/agent/Dockerfile`. That Dockerfile packages nginx + the `yanpm-agent` binary and s6-overlay service scripts so a single container can run nginx and the agent alongside each other.

+
+Base: HTTP over a unix-domain socket. Example using curl: `curl --unix-socket /path/to/socket -X POST http://localhost/<path>`
+
+1) GET /status
+
+   - Response: 200 OK
+   - Body: JSON `{ "ok": true }`
+
+2) POST /validate
+
+   - Request JSON:
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "config_name": "example",
+     "timestamp": 1234567890
+   }
+   ```
+
+   - Behavior: validates the fragment file named by `config_name` and `timestamp` under the agent's internal subdirectory inside the configured nginx config directory. Delegates to `ValidateCommand::validate`.
+   - Success: 200 OK, body is `[rc, output]` tuple serialized as JSON (actual shape is `(i32, String)` returned from the command; examine responses for exact formatting).
+   - Error cases:
+     - 400 Bad Request: invalid or malformed JSON
+     - 500 Internal Server Error: validation error or missing fragment file
+
+   - Request JSON:
+
+   ```json
+   {
+      "config_name": "example",
+      "timestamp": 1234567890
+   }
+   ```
+
+   - Behavior: validates the fragment file named by `config_name` and `timestamp` under the agent's internal subdirectory inside the configured nginx config directory. Delegates to `ValidateCommand::validate`.
+   - Success: 200 OK, body is a JSON array `[rc, output]` where `rc` is the integer return code and `output` is the combined stdout/stderr string from the validation command (the command returns an `(i32, String)` tuple).
+   - Error cases:
+      - 400 Bad Request: invalid or malformed JSON
+      - 500 Internal Server Error: validation error or missing fragment file
+
+3) POST /validate_and_reload
+
+   - Request JSON same as `/validate`.
+   - Behavior: runs validation and, on success, attempts to reload nginx. Returns an object with `rc` and `ro` (return code and combined stdout/stderr output).
+   - Success: 200 OK with body: `{ "rc": <int>, "ro": "<output>" }`
+   - Errors: 400 for malformed JSON, 500 if the validate-and-reload command fails (body presents error text).
+
+4) POST /write_config
+
+   - Request JSON:
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "config_name": "example",
+     "timestamp": 1234567890,
+     "content": "server { ... }"
+   }
+   ```
+
+   - Behavior: writes the provided `content` into an agent-managed fragment file named from `config_name` and `timestamp` in the internal subdirectory under `nginx_config_dir`.
+   - Success: 200 OK with empty body
+   - Error: 400 for malformed JSON, 500 if writing the file fails
+
+Notes
+
+- The agent expects callers to choose a `config_name` and `timestamp` that together form a unique filename. The concrete filename encoding is performed by `commands::run::to_file_name` in source.
+- On validation failures the returned output often contains the full `nginx -t` output; inspect `ro` or the returned JSON error messages.

+# Architecture and Runtime Flow
+
+Overview
+
+- The agent is an async HTTP server (axum) listening on a Unix domain socket and exposes a small JSON API to manage nginx configuration fragments.
+- Core lifecycle is implemented in `apps/agent/src/main.rs`:
+  - parse CLI args and environment variables
+  - ensure the socket path and directory exist and have permissive but secure defaults
+  - bind a `tokio::net::UnixListener` to the socket
+  - create an `NginxService` (shared state) and an in-process cron `JobScheduler`
+  - mount axum routes (`/status`, `/validate`, `/validate_and_reload`, `/write_config`) and serve HTTP over the Unix socket
+
+Key components
+
+- `main.rs` — Bootstrapping, argument handling, socket setup and permission handling, scheduler start, and axum server startup.
+- `routes.rs` — axum handlers for the HTTP API. It deserializes JSON payloads and delegates to `NginxService` methods. Handlers return appropriate HTTP status codes and JSON on error or success.
+- `commands/` — Implementation of lower-level actions (writing fragment files, running `nginx -t`, validating, reloads). The `validate.rs` command contains sophisticated behavior to handle permission-limited environments by:
+  - creating wrapper nginx configs that include a single fragment
+  - trying `nginx -t` directly, attempting a privileged wrapper via `sudo` if available, and finally passing a writable PID override via `-g pid ...;` to avoid permission failures
+
+Concurrency and state
+
+- A single shared `NginxService` instance is stored in axum `State` and cloned into handlers; it holds the scheduler and the configured nginx config directory path.
+- The JobScheduler is created with `tokio_cron_scheduler::JobScheduler` and started before serving requests.
+
+Error handling and best-effort behavior
+
+- Socket permission changes, GID changes, and directory creations are best-effort and log warnings on failure rather than failing hard.
+- Most command failures are converted into JSON errors with appropriate HTTP status codes so callers can inspect command output.
+
+Integration and packaging
+
+- The agent is intended to run as a companion to the API server in `apps/api`. The API calls the agent over the unix socket to write fragments, validate them, and trigger reloads.
+- `apps/agent/Dockerfile` builds a runtime image that includes `nginx` and the `yanpm-agent` binary (the Dockerfile uses s6-overlay to run multiple services). This image is suitable for deployments that prefer nginx and the agent colocated in a single container.

+  - If the final digit is greater than `0` a warning is logged because that allows "others" access.
+
+- `--sock-gid` / `YANPM_AGENT_SOCK_GID` (default: current user's primary group)
+  - GID to set on the socket file (best-effort).
+
+Validation rules and behavior
+
+- `sock_perm` must be exactly 3 octal digits (characters 0-7). The agent rejects invalid values at startup.
+- When an existing path exists at the socket location the agent verifies it is a unix socket; if so it removes it before binding. If the path exists and is not a socket, startup fails.
+- Setting permissions (`set_permissions`) and changing GID (`chown`) are attempted but non-fatal: failures are logged as warnings and the agent continues.
+
+Notes about nginx config directory
+
+- The agent writes fragments into a subdirectory (internal) of the configured `nginx_config_dir`. Ensure nginx is configured to include that subdirectory so fragments are picked up, or use `write_config` then trigger a reload.

+# Deployment and Permissions
+
+Socket location and permissions
+
+- The agent binds a unix socket at the path given by `--sock` or `YANPM_AGENT_SOCK`. The agent will:
+  - create the parent directory (best-effort) and attempt to set its permissions to `0770`
+  - remove an existing socket file if it is a socket, or fail if the path exists and is not a socket
+  - apply the `sock_perm` (3-digit octal) to the socket file and optionally change its GID to `sock_gid`
+
+Systemd socket/unit example
+
+Create a `yanpm-agent.socket` unit that creates and owns the unix socket, and a `yanpm-agent.service` that runs the agent. Ensure the socket path used by systemd matches `--sock`.
+
+Docker / container notes
+
+- If running the agent inside a container and writing to host nginx config, bind-mount the host nginx config directory into the container at the path provided to `--nginx-config-dir`.
+- Consider running the agent as a user with permission to write the nginx config directory or use a shared group and `sock_gid` so clients can access the socket.
+- The repository provides a runtime image built by `apps/agent/Dockerfile` which packages `nginx` together with the `yanpm-agent` binary and s6-overlay service scripts. This image runs nginx and the agent in one container which is useful when the agent is acting as the runtime companion for the API (`apps/api`).
+
+Privilege escalation for validation
+
+- In many systems `nginx -t` may fail due to inability to access `/run/nginx.pid` or other privileged files. The agent attempts a best-effort sequence:
+
+ 1. Run `nginx -t` directly.
+ 2. If that fails with permission errors, try a privileged wrapper (e.g. `/usr/local/sbin/yanpm-nginx-validate` or `yanpm-nginx-validate-file`) via `sudo -n`.
+ 3. If wrapper is unavailable or fails, retry `nginx -t` with a writable PID override via `-g 'pid /tmp/yanpm-validate-<pid>.pid;'`.
+
+Security considerations
+
+- Avoid setting `sock_perm` to allow world access unless explicitly intended.
+- Prefer controlling socket group membership via `sock_gid` rather than making the socket world-writable.
+
+s6 init scripts, wrappers and sudoers (runtime)
+
+- Purpose: The image built by `apps/agent/Dockerfile` uses `s6-overlay` as PID 1 (the Dockerfile sets `ENTRYPOINT ["/init"]`). The repository includes `docker/s6/cont-init.d` scripts that run at container startup (one-shot) and `docker/s6/services.d` entries to run long-lived services (nginx and the agent). The cont-init scripts prepare runtime users, permissions, and helper wrappers the agent uses for privileged operations.
+
+- Key cont-init scripts (in the repo):
+  - `docker/s6/cont-init.d/10-create-app-user` — ensures the `yanpm-agent` user and group exist (honoring `YANPM_AGENT_UID`, `YANPM_AGENT_GID`, and `YANPM_AGENT_SOCK_GID`), adds the user to the `nginx` group, and attempts to chown runtime directories like `/var/run/yanpm` and `/app/yanpm-agent` (logs warnings if chown fails for bind mounts or rootless containers).
+  - `docker/s6/cont-init.d/20-install-reload-wrapper` — installs three helper wrappers and a sudoers entry so the `yanpm-agent` user can perform narrowly-scoped privileged operations without a password.
+
+- Wrapper scripts installed by `20-install-reload-wrapper`:
+  - `/usr/local/sbin/yanpm-nginx-reload` — runs `nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -s reload` (used for reloading the running nginx master process).
+  - `/usr/local/sbin/yanpm-nginx-validate` — runs `nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t` (validates the main nginx config).
+  - `/usr/local/sbin/yanpm-nginx-validate-file` — securely validates a single nginx config file: it resolves the absolute path, ensures the target is a regular file (not a symlink), checks the file is owned by the `yanpm-agent` user, enforces it's not world-writable, then runs `nginx -c <file> -t`. This defends against symlink and race attacks when an unprivileged agent requests privileged validation.
+
+- Sudoers entry:
+  - The init script writes `/etc/sudoers.d/yanpm-agent` with a rule allowing the configured agent user (default `yanpm-agent`) to run only the three wrappers with `NOPASSWD`. This gives the agent a limited, auditable privilege escalation surface; the agent code attempts to use these wrappers via `sudo -n` before falling back to less privileged strategies.
+
+- Relevant environment variables (settable in the Dockerfile or at runtime):
+  - `YANPM_AGENT_SOCK` — unix socket path (default set in Dockerfile: `/var/run/yanpm/yanpm-agent.sock`).
+  - `YANPM_NGINX_CONFIG_DIR` — nginx config dir (default `/etc/nginx/conf.d`).
+  - `YANPM_AGENT_SOCK_PERM` — socket permissions (octal string, default `660`).
+  - `YANPM_AGENT_SOCK_GID` — desired GID for the socket (optional).
+  - `YANPM_AGENT_UID`, `YANPM_AGENT_GID` — runtime UID/GID used to create the `yanpm-agent` user in the container.
+
+- How the agent uses these runtime helpers:
+  - `ValidateCommand` and `ReloadCommand` in the agent code try `nginx` operations directly; when permission problems occur they attempt the privileged wrappers via `sudo -n /usr/local/sbin/yanpm-nginx-validate` or `...-validate-file` and `...-reload`. The cont-init script's wrappers plus the sudoers entry implement that intended secure upgrade path.
+
+- Notes and recommendations:
+  - The `validate-file` wrapper performs ownership and permission checks; ensure written fragments are created by the `yanpm-agent` user (the agent writes files as that user when running inside the container due to `10-create-app-user`).
+  - The cont-init scripts attempt to install `sudo` if missing; in minimal images you may prefer providing `sudo` at build time to avoid runtime installation attempts.
+  - If you bind-mount host directories (e.g., `/etc/nginx/conf.d`) into the container, ensure ownership and permissions are compatible with the agent user and `YANPM_AGENT_SOCK_GID` so the socket and files are accessible as intended.

+# Troubleshooting
+
+Common issues and how to resolve them
+
+- Socket path exists but is not a socket
+  - Symptom: startup fails with an error that the socket path exists and is not a socket.
+  - Fix: remove the file at the socket path or choose a different `--sock` path.
+
+- Permission denied on socket directory or socket
+  - Symptom: socket creation or permission setting logs warnings; clients cannot connect.
+  - Fix: ensure the socket directory exists and has correct ownership/group and that `sock_perm` and `sock_gid` are configured appropriately. Consider using `chown`/`chmod` from a privileged context.
+
+- `nginx -t` fails with `/run/nginx.pid: Permission denied`
+  - Symptom: validation fails; output contains permission denied for `/run/nginx.pid`.
+  - Fixes (tried by the agent):
+    1. If available, provide a privileged validation wrapper (e.g. `/usr/local/sbin/yanpm-nginx-validate`) that runs `nginx -t` with appropriate privileges.
+    2. Ensure the agent-runner has permission to read the main nginx configuration and `/run/nginx.pid` or allow the agent to use a writable PID override.
+
+- Fragment file not found during validation
+  - Symptom: validate returns 500 with message `Config file not found`.
+  - Fix: make sure the fragment has been written via `/write_config` to the agent's internal subdirectory under `NGINX_CONFIG_DIR`, using the same `config_name` and `timestamp` as the validate call.
+
+- Wrapper or sudo not available
+  - Symptom: attempts to run `sudo -n /usr/local/sbin/yanpm-nginx-validate` fail.
+  - Fix: install a wrapper script that allows unprivileged `sudo -n` validation or configure proper permissions on nginx state files.
+
+If none of the above solves the problem, collect the logs produced by the agent (it uses `tracing`/`tracing_subscriber`) and include the exact command outputs from the validation steps when asking for help.

+# Usage and Examples
+
+Running locally (development)
+
+1. Build the agent (from repository root):
+
+   ```sh
+   cargo build -p agent
+   ```
+
+2. Run the agent with defaults (socket in current directory):
+
+   ```sh
+   ./target/debug/yanpm-agent
+   ```
+
+3. Run with explicit socket and nginx config directory:
+
+   ```sh
+   ./target/debug/yanpm-agent --sock /run/yanpm/yanpm-agent.sock --nginx-config-dir /etc/nginx/conf.d
+   ```
+
+HTTP over unix-socket examples (using `socat` / `curl` helper)
+
+If you want to call the API from the shell, you can use `socat` to convert the unix socket to an HTTP stream, or use tools that support unix sockets directly (e.g. `curl --unix-socket`). Examples below use `curl --unix-socket`.
+
+Validate a fragment by name and timestamp:
+
+```sh
+curl --unix-socket ./yanpm-agent.sock -X POST http://localhost/validate \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"config_name":"example","timestamp":1234567890}'
+```
+
+Validate and reload (returns `rc` and `ro`):
+
+```sh
+curl --unix-socket ./yanpm-agent.sock -X POST http://localhost/validate_and_reload \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"config_name":"example","timestamp":1234567890}'
+```
+
+Write a fragment (create or update):
+
+```sh
+curl --unix-socket ./yanpm-agent.sock -X POST http://localhost/write_config \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"config_name":"example","timestamp":1234567890,"content":"server { listen 80; server_name example.local; }"}'
+```
+
+Status endpoint (health)
+
+```sh
+curl --unix-socket ./yanpm-agent.sock http://localhost/status
+```
+
+Notes
+
+- Use the `config_name` and `timestamp` fields consistently: `timestamp` is typically a monotonic update ID from the caller ensuring unique file names.
+- When running in containers, mount the host nginx config dir if you want the agent to write directly to host nginx configuration.
+- The repository includes a runtime Docker image built by `apps/agent/Dockerfile` which bundles `nginx` and the `yanpm-agent` binary (via s6-overlay). Use that image when you want nginx and the agent colocated (the agent is intended as a runtime companion to `apps/api`).
