Security
- Default bind 127.0.0.1; first-run bootstrap generates random api_token
and refuses to bind non-loopback without auth unless explicitly opted in
- Path-traversal hardened: BrowserService.validate_path rejects absolute
paths, drive letters, UNC, NUL bytes. /api/browser/{play,metadata,
thumbnail} now require folder_id and a folder-relative path
- Pydantic validators on links: http(s) URLs only, mdi:<slug> icons only
- Scripts/callbacks/links create/update/delete gated by *_management flags
- Strict CSP, X-Frame-Options DENY, Referrer-Policy no-referrer,
X-Content-Type-Options nosniff
- CORS locked to localhost:<port> + 127.0.0.1:<port> by default; configurable
- config.yaml writes atomic (tmp + os.replace) and 0o600 on POSIX
- Subprocesses spawned in their own process group / new session so timeout
kills the whole tree (Windows CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, POSIX
start_new_session=True)
- Frontend XSS: monitor name + details escapeHtml'd; power button moved to
delegated data-action handler; remote MDI SVGs parsed and sanitized
(strip script/foreignObject/on*/javascript: hrefs) before innerHTML
- All dynamic URL segments now wrapped in encodeURIComponent
Bugs
- WebSocket reconnect: close previous socket before opening new, clear
ping interval per-socket, clear reconnectTimeout up-front, retry on
online/visibilitychange, try/catch JSON.parse
- Artwork fetch race: AbortController + generation guard
- _broadcast_after_open: initialize status, swallow per-poll errors,
background tasks tracked in a strong-ref set with done-callback cleanup
- Audio analyzer: sticky _unavailable flag prevents infinite start/stop
spin when no loopback device exists; cleared by set_device()
- Volume short-circuit cache invalidated when server reports remote volume
- Browser thumbnail race: per-folder generation counter + isConnected
checks; aborts in-flight fetches on navigation
- Track-skip uses cached title instead of full WinRT status round-trip
Performance
- Linux MPRIS/pactl and /api/display DDC-CI handlers wrapped in
asyncio.to_thread so blocking IO never stalls the event loop
- browse_directory moved off the event loop (SMB shares could freeze it)
- Windows status poll caches one asyncio loop per worker thread via
threading.local instead of new_event_loop/close on every 0.5s tick
- broadcast() serializes JSON once and uses send_text to all clients
- Hourly thumbnail cache cleanup scheduled in lifespan (was never invoked
— cache grew unbounded)
- Progress drag listeners attached only while dragging
Quality
- All asyncio.get_event_loop() in coroutines → get_running_loop()
- ThreadPoolExecutors shut down cleanly during lifespan teardown
- config_manager dedup: 12 near-identical methods collapsed onto generic
_upsert/_delete helpers (~290 lines removed)
- Service worker no longer pass-throughs every fetch
- M3U playlist written via NamedTemporaryFile (no fixed-path symlink
clobber race)
- __version__ now prefers live pyproject.toml in dev checkouts so
pip install -e . users see the source-of-truth version, not the stale
package-metadata version baked in at install time
UI/UX (Studio Reference)
- Green leftover focus rings (rgba(29,185,84,...)) all replaced with
copper accent (rgba(var(--copper-rgb),...))
- Dialogs: square corners, copper top hairline, unified with editorial
chrome
- .browser-item: transparent with copper hover border (was filled card)
- Audio device select uses var(--sans) instead of generic system font
- Mobile container padding tuned for ≤480px screens
- Breadcrumb home is a real <button> with aria-label; aria-current on root
- i18n: filled display.msg.power_*, execution.*, scripts.params.execute,
callbacks.empty in both en + ru
Backend (routes/display.py, services/display_service.py):
- Probe DDC/CI capabilities per monitor at enumeration time
- New endpoints POST /api/display/{contrast,input_source,color_preset,picture_mode}/{id}
- Picture mode goes through raw VCP 0xDC since monitorcontrol has no
high-level wrapper; labels follow MCCS spec with vendor-friendly fallbacks
- Each capability reports a *_supported flag so the UI can hide rows that
the hardware does not advertise
Frontend (links.js, app.js, styles.css, locales):
- Monitor cards grow a contrast slider (same editorial copper treatment
as brightness) and a "PICTURE TUNING" section beneath
- Picture tuning uses the IconSelect widget (matching the audio device
selector): per-port icons (HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, USB-C),
thermometer for color temps, per-mode icons (movie reel, gamepad,
ball, etc.) for picture modes
- Humanizers turn SHOUT_CASE enum names into readable labels
(COLOR_TEMP_6500K -> "6500 K", HDMI1 -> "HDMI 1")
- 14 new i18n keys per locale (en/ru)

- New display service with DDC/CI brightness and power control via screen_brightness_control and monitorcontrol
- New /api/display/* endpoints (monitors, brightness, power)
- Display tab in WebUI with per-monitor brightness sliders and power toggle
- EDID resolution parsing to distinguish same-name monitors
- Throttled brightness slider (50ms) matching volume control pattern
