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.
