Backend engine for guided LED-chase calibration, driven by the upcoming
auto-calibration UI (phase 3) and first-run wizard (phase 4).
- solve_calibration(): pure function mapping start corner + direction + 4
corner-tap indices to per-edge LED counts, consistent with EDGE_ORDER/
EDGE_REVERSE so it round-trips through build_segments().
- CalibrationChaseMixin.set_calibration_pixel(): light a specific LED index
(+ optional window) on a device, reusing the device_test_mode idle-client
send path.
- CalibrationSession: single-active session with start/position/stop/cancel,
a 60s idle-timeout watchdog, and a concurrency lock so interleaved calls
can't corrupt the stop/restore bookkeeping — start() stops + remembers any
running target on the device and stop/cancel/timeout always restore it
(never leaves the device dark or stuck in chase).
- Routes /api/v1/calibration/{session,session/position,session/stop,
session/cancel,session/state,solve} (all AuthRequired, bounds-validated);
calibration is persisted by reusing the existing PUT /color-strip-sources/
{id} (hot-reloads running streams) rather than a duplicate endpoint.
- Tests: 19 solver pure-logic + 19 route/bounds. docs/API.md updated.
Part of the edge-calibration + first-run-wizard feature (Big Bang; intermediate
phase — full build/suite gated at the final phase).
Add ordered, timed sequences of scene presets that auto-cycle — activating
each preset and holding it for its dwell duration before advancing.
Backend:
- ScenePlaylist / PlaylistItem models + SQLite store (new scene_playlists table)
- PlaylistEngine: cycles ONE playlist at a time (starting one stops any other),
loop/shuffle, re-reads the playlist each cycle so edits/deletes apply at the
boundary, skips missing presets, guards against busy-loops; reuses the shared
apply_scene_state path used by scene presets and automations
- REST API: CRUD + /start, /stop, /state with scene-preset reference validation
- Constructed in the app lifespan with a bounded stop on shutdown
Frontend:
- New "Playlists" sub-tab in the Automations tab with start/stop controls and a
running indicator; editor modal with ordered scene rows (reorder + per-item
duration), loop/shuffle toggles, and tags
- Live refresh via the playlist_state_changed WebSocket event
- i18n in en/ru/zh
Tests: new unit + API coverage for the store/model, engine (cycling,
single-active exclusivity, missing-preset skip, shuffle, and the
playlist_state_changed event contract), and routes. Full suite green;
ruff and tsc clean.
A new `template` value source evaluates a hardened, sandboxed Jinja
expression over the live values of other value sources — the system's
first float combinator.
Backend:
- Shared engine (utils/template_expr.py): ImmutableSandboxedEnvironment with
filters/tests and auto-injected globals stripped; only min/max/abs/round/
clamp exposed; rejects **, string/collection-literal repetition, attribute
access and non-global calls; NaN/inf-safe result coercion.
- TemplateValueSource model + TemplateValueStream runtime: compile-once,
primitives-only eval context, raw[name] exposure, eval_interval throttle,
ref-counted input acquire/release, rename-safe hot-update.
- Validation: unbound-variable + reserved-name rejection, reference
cycle/depth guards (depth-only at create, full cycle at update), runtime
acquire() depth backstop, and delete referential-integrity.
- API: Create/Update/Response schemas + discriminated unions, _RESPONSE_MAP,
and an advisory POST /value-sources/validate-template endpoint.
- Demo seed: a static source plus a template combinator example.
Frontend:
- Editor modal section: repeatable inputs list (EntitySelect rows), a
zero-dependency Jinja syntax highlighter, a hints/reference panel, and a
debounced live validator that gates Save (stale-response-safe).
- Graph editor: read-only template node with one edge per input.
- i18n (en/ru/zh), icon, and card rendering.
Tests: engine, stream, factory/cycle, validate endpoint, and demo seed.
README: add free & open-source (MIT) framing; add a Platforms table (Windows/Linux/macOS/Docker supported, Android-TV build marked experimental, scrcpy phone-capture retained); expand the LED device list to ~20 protocols; correct storage to SQLite, the auth model, and resource names (Output Targets, Automations); add a prebuilt-download section; remove the Architecture and Acknowledgments sections; embed dashboard, channels, live-preview, and device-picker screenshots.
docs/API.md: full rewrite from the live route modules — all 253 endpoints across 34 modules, grouped by resource with REST + WebSocket tables, accurate auth model and WS handshake, worked examples, and sensitive-endpoint markers. Replaces the stale v0.1.0 stub.
server/CLAUDE.md: storage is now SQLite (BaseSqliteStore / ledgrab.db / LEDGRAB_DATA_DIR / data_migrations.py); fix the auth description (loopback anonymous, LAN rejected with 401 — not all endpoints open); router registration happens in api/__init__.py.
ProcessorManager: replace all isinstance checks with property-based
dispatch via base TargetProcessor (device_id, led_client,
get_display_index, update_device, update_calibration).
Remove gamma/saturation from ProcessingSettings, ColorCorrection
schema, serialization, and migration — these were never used in the
processing pipeline and are handled by postprocessing template filters.
Delete dead apply_color_correction() function.
