fix(plugin): align downgrade request flow

[SimonFair]

Summary

The plugin downgrade page now follows the current endpoint request contract through the supported two-step POST flow.

Why This Exists

The endpoint accepts POST requests and separates preparation from confirmation. The page still sent the previous single GET request with the version in the query, so the action did not reach the current handler. This follows up OS-907.

Resolution

Send a POST prepare request, read the JSON nonce, then send the confirmation POST with the nonce, explicit confirmation, and target version. Keep the existing route and diagnostics download calls unchanged.

Reviewer Considerations

• Check the request order and payload fields against the endpoint contract.
• This PR changes the API repository caller only. The endpoint implementation remains in the WebGUI repository.
• No test files are included.

Behavior Changes

The downgrade page now refreshes after the endpoint accepts the POST confirmation flow. Diagnostics download behavior is unchanged.

Implementation Summary

• Updated plugin/source/dynamix.unraid.net/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/Downgrade.page to use the prepare and confirm POST requests.
• Preserved the existing endpoint path and version value.

Verification

• php -l plugin/source/dynamix.unraid.net/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/Downgrade.page — passed.
• git diff --check — passed.
• Confirmed the downgrade caller emits two POST requests.

Risk

Low; the change only updates the caller to match the existing endpoint contract.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Downgrades now go through a preparation step before confirmation, and the page refreshes after a successful completion. If either step fails, the loading indicator is dismissed and an available error message is displayed, with a fallback message shown when no specific error is provided. This makes failures clearer and avoids leaving the page showing an active loading state.

Walkthrough

The downgrade flow sends a JSON prepare request before confirmation. It uses the returned nonce and previous version in a second JSON request. If either request fails, the flow hides the spinner and displays the server error or a fallback message. After confirmation succeeds, the page refreshes.

Downgrade confirmation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Two-step downgrade confirmation plugin/source/dynamix.unraid.net/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/Downgrade.page	startDowngrade sends a JSON prepare request, then sends a confirmation request with the returned nonce and previous version. Either request failure hides the spinner and displays the server error or a fallback message. Successful confirmation refreshes the page.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in plugin/source/dynamix.unraid.net/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/Downgrade.page: startDowngrade replaces its single GET request with a JSON prepare POST followed by a JSON confirmation POST containing the prepared nonce and previous version. It calls refresh() after the confirmation request succeeds.

First prepare, then confirm it right.

Errors show when calls mislay.
