Moved out of the Stats tab's side column into a new horizontal bar
shared by every frame page (Photos/Configuration/Stats), sitting
between the page title and the tabs so it's on screen regardless of
which tab is active.
_device_status_bar.html is a new partial included via a device_status
block in app_base.html; device_status_bar.js is the fetch/render/poll
logic extracted from frame_stats.js and adapted to a wrapping row of
label/value pairs instead of a stacked list. frame_stats.html's Device
card and now-single-card .side-col are gone -- Battery history and
Lifetime stats just stack directly.
Advanced configuration (Configuration tab, collapsed <details> section):
a color picker per ink color (black/white/yellow/red/blue/green),
overriding image_pipeline.DEFAULT_PALETTE_RGB for that frame's actual
panel -- different units can vary enough from the documented
approximations to be worth calibrating once you can compare a rendered
photo against the real hardware. Stored as Frame.palette_rgb (NULL =
default, schema migration v4), threaded through render_frame/
render_placeholder/_quantize_and_pack (which now builds the PIL palette
image per call instead of once at import) so both photos and the
unclaimed/unconfigured placeholder screen respect it. "Reset to
defaults" clears back to NULL. Config-save validates exactly 6 #rrggbb
values, rejecting anything else with a 400.
Also: each frame's sidebar entry now shows its last-reported battery
percent (🔋NN%) next to the name, using the frame_dot's existing
recently-seen indicator conventions -- silent when never reported
(mains-only frames, or before the first report), matching how battery
is hidden everywhere else it's not applicable.
Verified against the same live-shaped database as the SMTP work: the
v3->v4 migration, save/reload/reset round trip through the real HTTP
route, an actual rendered image using a custom palette (confirmed via
its packed panel-code bytes), input validation, and the sidebar badge
against real battery data -- plus the standing legacy-device curl suite.
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).
