Server: Frame.panel_type (new column + migration) is auto-derived from
the device's reported board (X-Frame-Board), never user-set -- the
panel is a property of the hardware, not a picker in the UI.
image_pipeline's packing/render pipeline is parameterized by panel
geometry instead of hardcoded 800x480 globals, with the real confirmed
13.3in geometry (1600x1200) registered alongside the original 7.3in
panel. Existing 7.3in frames are unaffected (column default + board
mapping both resolve to the original panel).
Board identifiers are also renamed (devkit/xiao -> devkit_esp32c6/
xiao_esp32c6, plus new "ee02") since the EE02 board also carries a XIAO
module -- "xiao" alone stopped disambiguating hardware. The server
keeps accepting the legacy bare names indefinitely for already-flashed
devices.
Firmware: scaffolds a third build target (ee02, ESP32-S3 -- a real
chip-target change, not just a same-chip Kconfig variant like xiao) and
a new epd13in3e driver component skeleton. The actual panel init/LUT/
refresh register sequence isn't ported from vendor demo code yet (none
was available), so that component deliberately fails to compile
(#error) rather than risk sending unverified register values to real
hardware -- devkit/xiao are unaffected and build identically to before.
CI's ee02 build step is continue-on-error for the same reason.
Server: migration 41 drops the pre-widget-system Frame columns
(mode/album_id/current_asset_id/queue/calendar_*/whiteboard_*, etc)
docs/widgets.md flagged as the deliberately-deferred Phase 6 cleanup,
with a raw-SQL backfill safety net for any frame that still somehow
lacks a Widget. Also drops legacy_token_enabled and the shared
MANAGEMENT_TOKEN fallback it gated in require_device/require_browser --
the per-frame manage_token/device_token flow (and the /m/ page) fully
supersede it now; MANAGEMENT_TOKEN's only remaining role is the
optional pre-setup claim gate. Confirmed with the maintainer that the
deployed frame is already off the shared token before removing the
server-side fallback.
Firmware: the captive portal's "Access Token" field and its NVS/
build_url plumbing only ever mattered for pointing new firmware at an
old pre-multi-frame server -- gone along with the server-side fallback
it fed. Version bump to publish the change.
The root logger previously had no handler at all, so every module's
logger.info() call (user creation, claims, password resets, ...) was
silently dropped, not just unviewable. Adds a RotatingFileHandler
writing into the existing /data volume so log content also survives
container restarts/redeploys, plus /admin/logs (tail + line-count
picker + full-file download) alongside the existing Users & Frames
admin page.
Once set, device_token_ack permanently locks out id-only requests
(auth.require_device) -- fine for a device that still has its token,
but a reprovisioned device has wiped its own token locally and had no
way back in short of a manual DB edit. The device's captive portal
always redirects the phone to /claim?device_id=... after
(re)provisioning, so reopen the handshake window there instead,
scoped to a logged-in owner/linked user of that frame.
File picker: an optional WebDAV browse root in Settings
(User.webdav_base_url) plus a plain-PROPFIND directory listing
(webdav_client.list_directory) power a "Browse..." panel on a frame's
Whiteboard tab, so a file can be clicked into rather than typing its
exact WebDAV URL. Manual URL entry still works unchanged either way.
Force-refresh: get_or_refresh_whiteboard takes a force flag that skips
the fetch throttle entirely; the Whiteboard tab's refresh button now
passes it, so clicking it always re-fetches and re-renders instead of
possibly just re-showing the same cached image from within the last
~20 minutes.
New third mode alongside photos/calendar: fetches a .whiteboard file
over plain WebDAV (Basic auth -- generic, not Nextcloud-specific) and
renders it via a small Node.js sidecar using Excalidraw's own real
export code (@excalidraw/utils + @resvg/resvg-js, no headless browser),
since a .whiteboard file turns out to be Excalidraw scene JSON, not an
image. The sidecar runs as a second process inside this same container
(Dockerfile installs Node, start.sh backgrounds it before exec'ing
uvicorn) rather than a separate docker-compose service -- lightweight,
stateless, reachable only at 127.0.0.1 from the Python process, nothing
worth independently scaling.
The rendered PNG is treated exactly like a photo from there on --
composed/quantized through the existing image_pipeline (letterboxed,
never cropped) rather than a second parallel rendering pipeline.
WebDAV credentials support the common "it's actually the same Nextcloud
account as my CalDAV" case (an explicit opt-in checkbox, not silently
inferred) while still working with any WebDAV server generically.
Frame-level source (URL + owning account) follows the same owner-
controls-their-own-data permission split as calendar sources and the
week view's task list: only the account owner can point a frame at it,
anyone linked can clear it.
Honest limitation: this environment has no Node.js/npm, so
render-service/ is written carefully against each library's documented
API (verified via the npm registry, including transitive dependency
licenses after the CalDAV/AGPL surprise earlier this session) but has
never actually been executed. First real docker build is the first
true test -- see render-service/README.md.
Calendar rule/grid lines were light gray, which dithers away to
near-invisible on the 6-color e-ink palette -- now black.
CalDAV accounts (Nextcloud, Fastmail, iCloud, ...) can now be linked
alongside the existing single ICS subscription, since one account can
expose several calendars. A frame's Calendar tab now lists calendars
per person rather than one opt-in per person: your own row shows every
calendar you have available with a full add/remove toggle, while other
linked users' rows show only calendars they've included, toggleable
off (mute) but not on -- only a calendar's owner can add it to a
shared frame. FrameCalendar replaces the old single-boolean
UserFrame.calendar_included; existing opt-ins are migrated forward.
calendar_feed.py/calendar_render.py: fetch/merge per-user ICS feeds,
render agenda/week/month views. manage_overlay.py: composites the
manage-button overlay server-side (QR, battery, location/date,
share-QR, face labels), reused by every render mode. device.py/common.py
wire both together: mode dispatch for /frame/image+advance+back, and
the &manage=1 flag. Plus UI (frame_config.html Calendar card, settings
calendar URL field) and the icalendar/recurring-ical-events deps.
Two real fixes to app/mail.py, both found by testing against an actual
mail server rather than just a fake stub:
- Replaces the STARTTLS-only smtp_use_tls boolean with a three-way
smtp_encryption ("none"/"starttls"/"ssl"). Implicit TLS (port 465,
what Purelymail and most providers offer alongside 587/STARTTLS) is a
different handshake entirely -- TLS from the first byte, not a
plaintext connection that gets upgraded -- so it needs its own
smtplib.SMTP_SSL code path, not just a skipped starttls() call.
Schema migration v3 adds the column, backfills it from the old
boolean, and drops the boolean (safe on a live, populated DB).
- Outgoing mail was missing Date and Message-ID headers -- email.mime
doesn't set either automatically, and a missing Message-ID in
particular is enough for a strict content filter (confirmed via a
real Postfix+Amavis mail server's logs: SPF/DKIM/DMARC all passed
cleanly, but Amavis quarantined the message as "BAD-HEADER-0" purely
for the missing id) to silently swallow an otherwise-legitimate
email, even though smtplib reports success -- the send genuinely
succeeds to the relay, it just never survives the recipient's own
filtering. Both headers are now set, with the Message-ID's domain
matching the From address.
Verified: SMTP_SSL path against a hand-rolled implicit-TLS fake server
(self-signed cert, client-side verification relaxed only in the test
harness -- production code keeps ssl.create_default_context()'s real
verification), the v2->v3 migration against live data, the full admin
SMTP-save + test-email round trip over HTTP, and the standing legacy-
device curl suite.
Admin-configured SMTP (server/port/username/password/from address/
STARTTLS, a singleton server_settings row set from /admin -- not env
vars, since it's operator infrastructure a household admin sets up
once through the UI) powers two features, both requiring the relevant
user to have an email set in their own Settings:
- "Forgot password?" on /login emails a one-hour single-use reset link
(password_reset_tokens table). The endpoint always returns the same
generic "check your email" response regardless of whether the address
matched an account, so it can't be used to enumerate registered users.
- A frame's Configuration tab can set a battery-alert threshold
(Frame.battery_alert_threshold_pct, -1 = disabled); POST /frame/battery
emails the owner the first time a report drops to or below it, then
stays quiet for the rest of that discharge cycle (battery_alert_sent,
reset alongside battery_history whenever the existing recharge-jump
detection fires) -- not once per wake.
New app/mail.py wraps stdlib smtplib (no new dependency); send_email()
never raises, so a broken mail server can't 500 a battery report or a
password-reset request. Schema migration v2 adds users.email and the
two frame columns via ALTER TABLE (safe against the live, already-
populated database) plus the two new tables via the existing
create_all-based migration runner.
Verified against a real (already-migrated, real user/frame data)
database: the v1->v2 migration, admin SMTP config + test-email button,
full forgot/reset-password roundtrip (including single-use token
invalidation and the no-enumeration response), and the battery alert
firing exactly once per crossing against a hand-rolled fake SMTP
server -- all via curl end-to-end, plus the standing legacy-device
curl suite to confirm the device protocol is untouched.
The web UI grows into the multi-frame world: a left sidebar lists the
user's frames (with an online dot driven by the same overdue math as
the Device panel; collapsible off-canvas with a hamburger on mobile),
and each frame gets three tabs -- Photos (album picker, now displaying,
the drag-to-reorder upcoming grid), Configuration (name/order/
orientation/refresh/quiet hours/timezone/smart crop + the firmware
card), and Stats (device telemetry, lifetime counters, battery chart).
Settings and Admin adopt the same shell. / becomes a routing hub:
first frame, empty-state onboarding page, setup/login, or the
manage-QR redirect.
The JSON API moves to /api/frames/{id}/... behind require_frame_view /
require_frame_control: any linked user (admins see all) can view; 404
for frames outside your view so ids aren't confirmed; mutations 409
with the holder's name unless you hold the soft control lock, and
POST take-control always flips it to you. Config saves are now partial
updates -- each tab posts only its own fields (checkboxes always sent
explicitly), so the split forms can't clobber each other.
All CSS moves to static/theme.css and the old 680-line inline script
block splits into static/*.js -- the Pointer Events drag-drop state
machine and the canvas battery chart ported intact, not rewritten. The
CSRF fetch wrapper now reads a <meta> tag. No build step, still vanilla.
Verified end-to-end: page/static/API suites, control-lock handoff in
both directions, partial-save field preservation, non-admin frame
isolation, and the legacy-device curl suite (still byte-identical
responses for the deployed frame).
The frame-claiming pipeline, end to end. Firmware: every request now
carries ?id=<12-hex STA MAC> via build_url (mirrored in build_ota_url),
and the captive portal's success page became a redirect that hands the
user's browser to <server>/claim?device_id=... after ~7s -- enough time
for the phone to drop the provisioning AP while the device reboots.
The server pushes a per-frame device token through /frame/config during
a one-time handshake; the firmware persists it to NVS (a dedicated
single-key write that deliberately doesn't reset the connected-once
flag or WiFi cache) and prefers it over the provisioned shared token
from the next request on. Config response buffer grows 256->512. Both
board variants compile clean; new firmware also works against an old
server (which ignores ?id=) and old firmware against this server (the
phase A legacy mapping), so either deploy order survives.
Server: /claim lands the captive-portal redirect -- claim-gated signup
(a valid unclaimed/unregistered device id IS the enrollment invitation),
pending claims for the user-beats-the-frame race (auto-attached at
self-registration, 24h expiry), and a waiting page that refreshes until
the frame checks in. Unclaimed/unconfigured frames get a rendered
instruction placeholder with a QR from /frame/image (200, never an
error loop) -- new qrcode dep, placeholder shares the exact
quantize/pack path photos use.
The on-frame manage QR now resolves to a limited no-login page: scans
of / carrying device credentials (new ?id&token or the legacy shared
token) 303 to /m/<manage_token>, which allows exactly view queue,
show-next, advance, back, and scoped thumbnails -- no settings, no
removal, no other frames. Full control means logging in.
One real protocol hole found by simulating full wake cycles: after
self-registration the device could never authenticate again (the wake
cycle fetches the image BEFORE /frame/config delivers its token).
require_device now treats the id itself as the credential until the
first authenticated request flips device_token_ack -- the same trust
level as open registration, closing permanently once the handshake
completes.
Real identity on top of phase A's schema: scrypt-hashed passwords
(stdlib, no new deps -- parameters baked into each stored hash),
server-side sessions (sha256 of the cookie value stored, 30-day rolling
expiry), and per-session CSRF tokens enforced on every mutating
session-authed request -- via X-CSRF-Token for the JSON API (a fetch()
wrapper in base.html injects it, so the existing page scripts didn't
need touching) and a hidden form field for the HTML forms.
/setup runs once while no users exist: creates admin #1, links every
existing frame to them (owner + controller), and inherits the migrated
Immich creds onto their account -- per-user creds are now the primary
source, with env vars still winning as the operator fallback. /login,
/logout, /settings (display name, Immich creds, password change), and
/admin (enroll users, reset passwords, link users to frames, close a
frame's legacy-token window, delete) round out the pages, all in the
existing template/card style.
The legacy shared token stays accepted on browser routes so the
deployed frame's on-panel manage QR keeps working until phase C swaps
it for the limited manage page; token access renders without nav or
CSRF shim and is exempt from CSRF (explicit credential, not an ambient
cookie). Device routes untouched -- the legacy curl suite passes
verbatim.
Identity is provider-pluggable (identity_provider/provider_subject
already modeled) so OIDC can land later without schema surgery.
