Merge feature/demo-mode: virtual hardware sandbox for testing

Demo mode provides a complete sandbox environment with:
- Virtual capture engine (radial rainbow test pattern on 3 displays)
- Virtual audio engine (synthetic music-like audio on 2 devices)
- Virtual LED device provider (strip/60, matrix/256, ring/24 LEDs)
- Isolated data directory (data/demo/) with auto-seeded sample entities
- Dedicated config (config/demo_config.yaml) with pre-configured API key
- Frontend indicator (DEMO badge + dismissible banner)
- Engine filtering (only demo engines visible in demo mode)
- Separate entry point: python -m wled_controller.demo (port 8081)

+# Feature Brainstorm — LED Grab
+
+## New Automation Conditions (Profiles)
+
+Right now profiles only trigger on **app detection**. High-value additions:
+
+- **Time-of-day / Schedule** — "warm tones after sunset, off at midnight." Schedule-based value sources pattern already exists
+- **Display state** — detect monitor on/off/sleep, auto-stop targets when display is off
+- **System idle** — dim or switch to ambient effect after N minutes of no input
+- **Sunrise/sunset** — fetch local solar times, drive circadian color temperature shifts
+- **Webhook/MQTT trigger** — let external systems activate profiles without HA integration
+
+## New Output Targets
+
+Currently: WLED, Adalight, AmbileD, DDP. Potential:
+
+- **MQTT publish** — generic IoT output, any MQTT subscriber becomes a target
+- **Art-Net / sACN (E1.31)** — stage/theatrical lighting protocols, DMX controllers
+- **OpenRGB** — control PC peripherals (keyboard, mouse, RAM, fans) as ambient targets
+- **HTTP webhook** — POST color data to arbitrary endpoints
+- **Recording target** — save color streams to file for playback later
+
+## New Color Strip Sources
+
+- **Spotify / media player** — album art color extraction or tempo-synced effects
+- **Weather** — pull conditions from API, map to palettes (blue=rain, orange=sun, white=snow)
+- **Camera / webcam** — border-sampling from camera feed for video calls or room-reactive lighting
+- **Script source** — user-written JS/Python snippets producing color arrays per frame
+- **Notification reactive** — flash/pulse on OS notifications (optional app filter)
+
+## Processing Pipeline Extensions
+
+- **Palette quantization** — force output to match a user-defined palette
+- **Zone grouping** — merge adjacent LEDs into logical groups sharing one averaged color
+- **Color temperature filter** — warm/cool shift separate from hue shift (circadian/mood)
+- **Noise gate** — suppress small color changes below threshold, preventing shimmer on static content
+
+## Multi-Instance & Sync
+
+- **Multi-room sync** — multiple instances with shared clock for synchronized effects
+- **Multi-display unification** — treat 2-3 monitors as single virtual display for seamless ambilight
+- **Leader/follower mode** — one target's output drives others with optional delay (cascade)
+
+## UX & Dashboard
+
+- **PWA / mobile layout** — mobile-first layout + "Add to Home Screen" manifest
+- **Scene presets** — bundled source + filters + brightness as one-click presets ("Movie night", "Gaming")
+- **Live preview on dashboard** — miniature screen with LED colors rendered around its border
+- **Undo/redo for calibration** — reduce frustration in the fiddly calibration editor
+- **Drag-and-drop filter ordering** — reorder postprocessing filter chains visually
+
+## API & Integration
+
+- **WebSocket event bus** — broadcast all state changes over a single WS channel
+- **OBS integration** — detect active scene, switch profiles; or use OBS virtual camera as source
+- **Plugin system** — formalize extension points into documented plugin API with hot-reload
+
+## Creative / Fun
+
+- **Effect sequencer** — timeline-based choreography of effects, colors, and transitions
+- **Music BPM sync** — lock effect speed to detected BPM (beat detection already exists)
+- **Color extraction from image** — upload photo, extract palette, use as gradient/cycle source
+- **Transition effects** — crossfade, wipe, or dissolve between sources/profiles instead of instant cut
+
+---
+
+## Deep Dive: Notification Reactive Source
+
+**Type:** New `ColorStripSource` (`source_type: "notification"`) — normally outputs transparent RGBA, flashes on notification events. Designed to be used as a layer in a **composite source** so it overlays on top of a persistent base (gradient, effect, screen capture, etc.).
+
+### Trigger modes (both active simultaneously)
+
+1. **OS listener (Windows)** — `pywinrt` + `Windows.UI.Notifications.Management.UserNotificationListener`. Runs in background thread, pushes events to source via queue. Windows-only for now; macOS (`pyobjc` + `NSUserNotificationCenter`) and Linux (`dbus` + `org.freedesktop.Notifications`) deferred to future.
+2. **Webhook** — `POST /api/v1/notifications/{source_id}/fire` with optional body `{ "app": "MyApp", "color": "#FF0000" }`. Always available, cross-platform by nature.
+
+### Source config
+
+```yaml
+os_listener: true           # enable Windows notification listener
+app_filter:
+  mode: whitelist|blacklist  # which apps to react to
+  apps: [Discord, Slack, Telegram]
+app_colors:                  # user-configured app → color mapping
+  Discord: "#5865F2"
+  Slack: "#4A154B"
+  Telegram: "#26A5E4"
+default_color: "#FFFFFF"     # fallback when app has no mapping
+effect: flash|pulse|sweep    # visual effect type
+duration_ms: 1500            # effect duration
+```
+
+### Effect rendering
+
+Source outputs RGBA color array per frame:
+- **Idle**: all pixels `(0,0,0,0)` — composite passes through base layer
+- **Flash**: instant full-color, linear fade to transparent over `duration_ms`
+- **Pulse**: sine fade in/out over `duration_ms`
+- **Sweep**: color travels across the strip like a wave
+
+Each notification starts its own mini-timeline from trigger timestamp (not sync clock).
+
+### Overlap handling
+
+New notification while previous effect is active → restart timer with new color. No queuing.
+
+### App color resolution
+
+1. Webhook body `color` field (explicit override) → highest priority
+2. `app_colors` mapping by app name
+3. `default_color` fallback
+
+---
+
+## Top Picks (impact vs effort)
+
+1. **Time-of-day + idle profile conditions** — builds on existing profile/condition architecture
+2. **MQTT output target** — opens the door to an enormous IoT ecosystem
+3. **Scene presets** — purely frontend, bundles existing features into one-click UX

 # Claude Instructions for WLED Screen Controller
 
+## Code Search
+
+**If `ast-index` is available, use it as the PRIMARY code search tool.** It is significantly faster than grep and returns structured, accurate results. Fall back to grep/Glob only when ast-index is not installed, returns empty results, or when searching regex patterns/string literals/comments.
+
+**IMPORTANT for subagents:** When spawning Agent subagents (Plan, Explore, general-purpose, etc.), always instruct them to use `ast-index` via Bash for code search instead of grep/Glob. Example: include "Use `ast-index search`, `ast-index class`, `ast-index usages` etc. via Bash for code search" in the agent prompt.
+
+```bash
+# Check if available:
+ast-index version
+
+# Rebuild index (first time or after major changes):
+ast-index rebuild
+
+# Common commands:
+ast-index search "Query"                  # Universal search across files, symbols, modules
+ast-index class "ClassName"               # Find class/struct/interface definitions
+ast-index usages "SymbolName"             # Find all places a symbol is used
+ast-index implementations "BaseClass"     # Find all subclasses/implementations
+ast-index symbol "FunctionName"           # Find any symbol (class, function, property)
+ast-index outline "path/to/File.cpp"      # Show all symbols in a file
+ast-index hierarchy "ClassName"           # Show inheritance tree
+ast-index callers "FunctionName"          # Find all call sites
+ast-index changed --base master           # Show symbols changed in current branch
+ast-index update                          # Incremental update after file changes

 **Whenever server-side Python code is modified** (any file under `/server/src/` **excluding** `/server/src/wled_controller/static/`), **automatically restart the server** so the changes take effect immediately. Do NOT wait for the user to ask for a restart.
 
-**No restart needed for frontend-only changes.** Files under `/server/src/wled_controller/static/` (HTML, JS, CSS, JSON locale files) are served directly by FastAPI's static file handler — changes take effect on the next browser page refresh without restarting the server.
+**No restart needed for frontend-only changes** — but you **MUST rebuild the bundle**. The browser loads the esbuild bundle (`static/dist/app.bundle.js`, `static/dist/app.bundle.css`), NOT the source files. After ANY change to frontend files (JS, CSS under `/server/src/wled_controller/static/`), run:
+
+```bash
+cd server && npm run build
+```
+
+Without this step, changes will NOT take effect. No server restart is needed — just rebuild and refresh the browser.
 
 ### Restart procedure
 
-1. Stop the running Python process: `powershell -Command "Get-Process -Name python -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Stop-Process -Force"`
+Use the PowerShell restart script — it reliably stops only the server process and starts a new detached instance:
-2. Start the server: `powershell -Command "Set-Location 'c:\Users\Alexei\Documents\wled-screen-controller\server'; python -m wled_controller.main"` (run in background)
+
-3. Wait 3 seconds and check startup logs to confirm it's running
+```bash
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "c:\Users\Alexei\Documents\wled-screen-controller\server\restart.ps1"
+```
+
+**Do NOT use** `Stop-Process -Name python` (kills unrelated Python processes like VS Code extensions) or bash background `&` jobs (get killed when the shell session ends).
+
+## IMPORTANT: Server Startup Commands
+
+There are two server modes with separate configs, ports, and data directories:
+
+| Mode | Command | Config | Port | API Key | Data |
+|------|---------|--------|------|---------|------|
+| **Real** | `python -m wled_controller.main` | `config/default_config.yaml` | 8080 | `development-key-change-in-production` | `data/` |
+| **Demo** | `python -m wled_controller.demo` | `config/demo_config.yaml` | 8081 | `demo` | `data/demo/` |
+
+Both can run simultaneously on different ports.
+
+### Restarting after code changes
+
+- **Real server**: Use the PowerShell restart script (it only targets the real server process):
+
+  ```bash
+  powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "c:\Users\Alexei\Documents\wled-screen-controller\server\restart.ps1"
+  ```
+
+- **Demo server**: Find and kill the process on port 8081, then restart:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Find PID
+  powershell -Command "netstat -ano | Select-String ':8081.*LISTEN'"
+  # Kill it
+  powershell -Command "Stop-Process -Id <PID> -Force"
+  # Restart
+  cd server && python -m wled_controller.demo
+  ```
+
+**Do NOT use** `Stop-Process -Name python` — it kills unrelated Python processes (VS Code extensions, etc.).

-### Select dropdowns
+## Documentation Lookup
 
-Do **not** add placeholder options like `-- Select something --`. Populate the `<select>` with real options only and let the first one be selected by default.
+**Use context7 MCP tools for library/framework documentation lookups.** When you need to check API signatures, usage patterns, or current behavior of external libraries (e.g., FastAPI, OpenCV, Pydantic, yt-dlp), use `mcp__plugin_context7_context7__resolve-library-id` to find the library, then `mcp__plugin_context7_context7__query-docs` to fetch up-to-date docs. This avoids relying on potentially outdated training data.
+
+## IMPORTANT: Demo Mode Awareness
+
+**When adding new entity types, engines, device providers, or stores — keep demo mode in sync:**
+
+1. **New entity stores**: Add the store's file path to `StorageConfig` in `config.py` — the `model_post_init()` auto-rewrites `data/` → `data/demo/` paths when demo is active.
+2. **New capture engines**: If a new engine is added, verify demo mode filtering still works (demo engines use `is_demo_mode()` gate in `is_available()`).
+3. **New audio engines**: Same as capture engines — `is_available()` must respect `is_demo_mode()`.
+4. **New device providers**: If discovery is added, gate it with `is_demo_mode()` like `DemoDeviceProvider.discover()`.
+5. **New seed data**: When adding new entity types that should appear in demo mode, update `server/src/wled_controller/core/demo_seed.py` to include sample entities.
+6. **Frontend indicators**: Demo mode state is exposed via `GET /api/v1/version` → `demo_mode: bool`. Frontend stores it as `demoMode` in app state and sets `document.body.dataset.demo = 'true'`.
+7. **Backup/Restore**: If new stores are added to `STORE_MAP` in `system.py`, they automatically work in demo mode since the data directory is already isolated.
+
+**Key files:**
+
+- Config flag: `server/src/wled_controller/config.py` → `Config.demo`, `is_demo_mode()`
+- Demo engines: `core/capture_engines/demo_engine.py`, `core/audio/demo_engine.py`
+- Demo devices: `core/devices/demo_provider.py`
+- Seed data: `core/demo_seed.py`

 ## Configuration
 
-Edit `server/config/default_config.yaml`:
+Edit `server/config/default_config.yaml` or use environment variables with the `LED_GRAB_` prefix:
 
 ```yaml
 server:
   host: "0.0.0.0"
   port: 8080
+  log_level: "INFO"
 
-processing:
+auth:
-  default_fps: 30
+  api_keys:
-  border_width: 10
+    dev: "development-key-change-in-production"
 
-wled:
+storage:
-  timeout: 5
+  devices_file: "data/devices.json"
-  retry_attempts: 3
+  templates_file: "data/capture_templates.json"
+
+logging:
+  format: "json"
+  file: "logs/wled_controller.log"
+  max_size_mb: 100
 ```
 
-## API Usage
+Environment variable override example: `LED_GRAB_SERVER__PORT=9090`.
 
-### Attach a WLED Device
+## API
 
-```bash
+The server exposes a REST API (with Swagger docs at `/docs`) covering:
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/devices \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
-    "name": "Living Room TV",
-    "url": "http://192.168.1.100",
-    "led_count": 150
-  }'
-```
 
-### Start Processing
+- **Devices** — CRUD, discovery, validation, state, metrics
+- **Capture Templates** — Screen capture configurations
+- **Picture Sources** — Screen capture stream definitions
+- **Picture Targets** — LED target management, start/stop processing
+- **Post-Processing Templates** — Filter pipeline configurations
+- **Color Strip Sources** — Audio, pattern, composite, mapped sources
+- **Audio Sources** — Multichannel and mono audio device configuration
+- **Pattern Templates** — Effect pattern definitions
+- **Value Sources** — Dynamic brightness/value providers
+- **Key Colors Targets** — KC targets with WebSocket live color stream
+- **Profiles** — Condition-based automation profiles
 
-```bash
+All endpoints require API key authentication via `X-API-Key` header or `?token=` query parameter.
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/devices/{device_id}/start
-```
 
-### Get Status
+See [docs/API.md](docs/API.md) for the full reference.
-
-```bash
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/devices/{device_id}/state
-```
-
-See [API Documentation](docs/API.md) for complete API reference.
 
 ## Calibration
 
-The calibration system maps screen border pixels to LED positions. See [Calibration Guide](docs/CALIBRATION.md) for details.
+The calibration system maps screen border pixels to physical LED positions. Configure layout direction, start position, and per-edge segments through the web dashboard or API.
 
-Example calibration:
+See [docs/CALIBRATION.md](docs/CALIBRATION.md) for a step-by-step guide.
-```json
-{
-  "layout": "clockwise",
-  "start_position": "bottom_left",
-  "segments": [
-    {"edge": "bottom", "led_start": 0, "led_count": 40},
-    {"edge": "right", "led_start": 40, "led_count": 30},
-    {"edge": "top", "led_start": 70, "led_count": 40},
-    {"edge": "left", "led_start": 110, "led_count": 40}
-  ]
-}
-```
 
-## Home Assistant Integration
+## Home Assistant
 
-1. Copy `homeassistant/custom_components/wled_screen_controller` to your Home Assistant `custom_components` folder
+Install via HACS (add as a custom repository) or manually copy `custom_components/wled_screen_controller/` into your HA config directory. The integration creates light, switch, sensor, and number entities for each configured device.
-2. Restart Home Assistant
+
-3. Go to Settings → Integrations → Add Integration
+See [INSTALLATION.md](INSTALLATION.md) for detailed setup instructions.
-4. Search for "WLED Screen Controller"
-5. Enter your server URL
 
 ## Development
 
-### Running Tests
-
 ```bash
 cd server
-pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Install with dev dependencies
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+
+# Run tests
+pytest
+
+# Format and lint
+black src/ tests/
+ruff check src/ tests/
 ```
 
-### Project Structure
+Optional extras:
 
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[perf]"     # High-performance capture engines (Windows)
+pip install -e ".[camera]"   # Webcam capture via OpenCV
 ```

-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Screen capture fails
-- **Windows**: Ensure Python has screen capture permissions
-- **Linux**: Install X11 dependencies: `apt-get install libxcb1 libxcb-randr0`
-- **macOS**: Grant screen recording permission in System Preferences
-
-### WLED not responding
-- Verify WLED device is on the same network
-- Check firewall settings
-- Test connection: `curl http://YOUR_WLED_IP/json/info`
-
-### Low FPS
-- Reduce `border_width` in configuration
-- Lower target FPS
-- Check network latency to WLED device
-- Reduce LED count

+# Chrome Browser Tools (MCP)
+
+**Read this file when using Chrome browser tools** (`mcp__claude-in-chrome__*`) for testing or debugging the frontend.
+
+## Tool Loading
+
+All Chrome MCP tools are deferred — they must be loaded with `ToolSearch` before first use:
+
+```
+ToolSearch query="select:mcp__claude-in-chrome__<tool_name>"
+```
+
+Commonly used tools:
+- `tabs_context_mcp` — get available tabs (call first in every session)
+- `navigate` — go to a URL
+- `computer` — screenshots, clicks, keyboard, scrolling, zoom
+- `read_page` — accessibility tree of page elements
+- `find` — find elements by text/selector
+- `javascript_tool` — run JS in the page console
+- `form_input` — fill form fields
+
+## Browser Tricks
+
+### Hard Reload (bypass cache)
+
+After rebuilding the frontend bundle (`npm run build`), do a hard reload to bypass browser cache:
+
+```
+computer action="key" text="ctrl+shift+r"
+```
+
+This is equivalent to Ctrl+Shift+R and forces the browser to re-fetch all resources, ignoring cached versions.
+
+### Zoom into UI regions
+
+Use the `zoom` action to inspect small UI elements (icons, badges, text):
+
+```
+computer action="zoom" region=[x0, y0, x1, y1]
+```
+
+Coordinates define a rectangle from top-left to bottom-right in viewport pixels.
+
+### Scroll to element
+
+Use `scroll_to` with a `ref` from `read_page` to bring an element into view:
+
+```
+computer action="scroll_to" ref="ref_123"
+```
+
+### Console messages
+
+Use `read_console_messages` to check for JS errors after page load or interactions.
+
+### Network requests
+
+Use `read_network_requests` to inspect API calls, check response codes, and debug loading issues.
+
+## Typical Verification Workflow
+
+1. Rebuild bundle: `npm run build` (from `server/` directory)
+2. Hard reload: `ctrl+shift+r`
+3. Take screenshot to verify visual changes
+4. Zoom into specific regions if needed
+5. Check console for errors

+# Frontend Rules & Conventions
+
+**Read this file when working on frontend tasks** (HTML, CSS, JS, locales, templates).
+
+## CSS Custom Properties (Variables)
+
+Defined in `server/src/wled_controller/static/css/base.css`.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** There is NO `--accent` variable. Always use `--primary-color` for accent/brand color.
+
+### Global (`:root`)
+| Variable | Value | Usage |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--primary-color` | `#4CAF50` | **Accent/brand color** — borders, highlights, active states |
+| `--primary-hover` | `#5cb860` | Hover state for primary elements |
+| `--primary-contrast` | `#ffffff` | Text on primary background |
+| `--danger-color` | `#f44336` | Destructive actions, errors |
+| `--warning-color` | `#ff9800` | Warnings |
+| `--info-color` | `#2196F3` | Informational highlights |
+
+### Theme-specific (`[data-theme="dark"]` / `[data-theme="light"]`)
+| Variable | Dark | Light | Usage |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `--bg-color` | `#1a1a1a` | `#f5f5f5` | Page background |
+| `--bg-secondary` | `#242424` | `#eee` | Secondary background |
+| `--card-bg` | `#2d2d2d` | `#ffffff` | Card/panel background |
+| `--text-color` | `#e0e0e0` | `#333333` | Primary text |
+| `--text-secondary` | `#999` | `#666` | Secondary text |
+| `--text-muted` | `#777` | `#999` | Muted/disabled text |
+| `--border-color` | `#404040` | `#e0e0e0` | Borders, dividers |
+| `--primary-text-color` | `#66bb6a` | `#3d8b40` | Primary-colored text |
+| `--success-color` | `#28a745` | `#2e7d32` | Success indicators |
+| `--shadow-color` | `rgba(0,0,0,0.3)` | `rgba(0,0,0,0.12)` | Box shadows |
+
+## UI Conventions for Dialogs
+
+### Hints
+
+Every form field in a modal should have a hint. Use the `.label-row` wrapper with a `?` toggle button:
+
+```html
+<div class="form-group">
+    <div class="label-row">
+        <label for="my-field" data-i18n="my.label">Label:</label>
+        <button type="button" class="hint-toggle" onclick="toggleHint(this)" title="?">?</button>
+    </div>
+    <small class="input-hint" style="display:none" data-i18n="my.label.hint">Hint text</small>
+    <input type="text" id="my-field">
+</div>
+```
+
+Add hint text to both `en.json` and `ru.json` locale files using a `.hint` suffix on the label key.
+
+### Select dropdowns
+
+Do **not** add placeholder options like `-- Select something --`. Populate the `<select>` with real options only and let the first one be selected by default.
+
+### Empty/None option format
+
+When a selector has an optional entity (e.g., sync clock, processing template, brightness source), the empty option must use the format `None (<description>)` where the description explains what happens when nothing is selected. Use i18n keys, never hardcoded `—` or bare `None`.
+
+Examples:
+- `None (no processing template)` — `t('common.none_no_cspt')`
+- `None (no input source)` — `t('common.none_no_input')`
+- `None (use own speed)` — `t('common.none_own_speed')`
+- `None (full brightness)` — `t('color_strip.composite.brightness.none')`
+- `None (device brightness)` — `t('targets.brightness_vs.none')`
+
+For `EntitySelect` with `allowNone: true`, pass the same i18n string as `noneLabel`.
+
+### Enhanced selectors (IconSelect & EntitySelect)
+
+Plain `<select>` dropdowns should be enhanced with visual selectors depending on the data type:
+
+- **Predefined options** (source types, effect types, palettes, waveforms, viz modes) → use `IconSelect` from `js/core/icon-select.js`. This replaces the `<select>` with a visual grid of icon+label+description cells. See `_ensureCSSTypeIconSelect()`, `_ensureEffectTypeIconSelect()`, `_ensureInterpolationIconSelect()` in `color-strips.js` for examples.
+
+- **Entity references** (picture sources, audio sources, devices, templates, clocks) → use `EntitySelect` from `js/core/entity-palette.js`. This replaces the `<select>` with a searchable command-palette-style picker. See `_cssPictureSourceEntitySelect` in `color-strips.js` or `_lineSourceEntitySelect` in `advanced-calibration.js` for examples.
+
+Both widgets hide the native `<select>` but keep it in the DOM with its value in sync. After programmatically changing the `<select>` value, call `.refresh()` (EntitySelect) or `.setValue(val)` (IconSelect) to update the trigger display. Call `.destroy()` when the modal closes.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** For `IconSelect` item icons, use SVG icons from `js/core/icon-paths.js` (via `_icon(P.iconName)`) or styled `<span>` elements (e.g., `<span style="font-weight:bold">A</span>`). **Never use emoji** — they render inconsistently across platforms and themes.
+
+### Modal dirty check (discard unsaved changes)
+
+Every editor modal **must** have a dirty check so closing with unsaved changes shows a "Discard unsaved changes?" confirmation. Use the `Modal` base class pattern from `js/core/modal.js`:
+
+1. **Subclass Modal** with `snapshotValues()` returning an object of all tracked field values:
+
+   ```javascript
+   class MyEditorModal extends Modal {
+       constructor() { super('my-modal-id'); }
+       snapshotValues() {
+           return {
+               name: document.getElementById('my-name').value,
+               // ... all form fields
+           };
+       }
+       onForceClose() {
+           // Optional: cleanup (reset flags, clear state, etc.)
+       }
+   }
+   const myModal = new MyEditorModal();
+   ```
+
+2. **Call `modal.snapshot()`** after the form is fully populated (after `modal.open()`).
+3. **Close/cancel button** calls `await modal.close()` — triggers dirty check + confirmation.
+4. **Save function** calls `modal.forceClose()` after successful save — skips dirty check.
+5. For complex/dynamic state (filter lists, schedule rows, conditions), serialize to JSON string in `snapshotValues()`.
+
+The base class handles: `isDirty()` comparison, confirmation dialog, backdrop click, ESC key, focus trapping, and body scroll lock.
+
+### Card appearance
+
+When creating or modifying entity cards (devices, targets, CSS sources, streams, audio/value sources, templates), **always reference existing cards** of the same or similar type for visual consistency. Cards should have:
+
+- Clone (📋) and Edit (✏️) icon buttons in `.template-card-actions`
+- Delete (✕) button as `.card-remove-btn`
+- Property badges in `.stream-card-props` with emoji icons
+- **Crosslinks**: When a card references another entity (audio source, picture source, capture template, PP template, etc.), make the property badge a clickable link using the `stream-card-link` CSS class and an `onclick` handler calling `navigateToCard(tab, subTab, sectionKey, cardAttr, cardValue)`. Only add the link when the referenced entity is found (to avoid broken navigation). Example: `<span class="stream-card-prop stream-card-link" onclick="event.stopPropagation(); navigateToCard('streams','audio','audio-multi','data-id','${id}')">🎵 Name</span>`
+
+### Modal footer buttons
+
+Use **icon-only** buttons (✓ / ✕) matching the device settings modal pattern, **not** text buttons:
+
+```html
+<div class="modal-footer">
+    <button class="btn btn-icon btn-secondary" onclick="closeMyModal()" title="Cancel" data-i18n-title="settings.button.cancel" data-i18n-aria-label="aria.cancel">&#x2715;</button>
+    <button class="btn btn-icon btn-primary" onclick="saveMyEntity()" title="Save" data-i18n-title="settings.button.save" data-i18n-aria-label="aria.save">&#x2713;</button>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Slider value display
+
+For range sliders, display the current value **inside the label** (not in a separate wrapper). This keeps the value visible next to the property name:
+
+```html
+<label for="my-slider"><span data-i18n="my.label">Speed:</span> <span id="my-slider-display">1.0</span></label>
+...
+<input type="range" id="my-slider" min="0" max="10" step="0.1" value="1.0"
+    oninput="document.getElementById('my-slider-display').textContent = this.value">
+```
+
+Do **not** use a `range-with-value` wrapper div.
+
+### Tutorials
+
+The app has an interactive tutorial system (`static/js/features/tutorials.js`) with a generic engine, spotlight overlay, tooltip positioning, and keyboard navigation. Tutorials exist for:
+- **Getting started** (header-level walkthrough of all tabs and controls)
+- **Per-tab tutorials** (Dashboard, Targets, Sources, Profiles) triggered by `?` buttons
+- **Device card tutorial** and **Calibration tutorial** (context-specific)
+
+When adding **new tabs, sections, or major UI elements**, update the corresponding tutorial step array in `tutorials.js` and add `tour.*` i18n keys to all 3 locale files (`en.json`, `ru.json`, `zh.json`).
+
+## Icons
+
+**Always use SVG icons from the icon system, never text/emoji/Unicode symbols for buttons and UI controls.**
+
+- Icon SVG paths are defined in `static/js/core/icon-paths.js` (Lucide icons, 24×24 viewBox)
+- Icon constants are exported from `static/js/core/icons.js` (e.g. `ICON_START`, `ICON_TRASH`, `ICON_EDIT`)
+- Use `_svg(path)` wrapper from `icons.js` to create new icon constants from paths
+
+When you need a new icon:
+1. Find the Lucide icon at https://lucide.dev
+2. Copy the inner SVG elements (paths, circles, rects) into `icon-paths.js` as a new export
+3. Add a corresponding `ICON_*` constant in `icons.js` using `_svg(P.myIcon)`
+4. Import and use the constant in your feature module
+
+Common icons: `ICON_START` (play), `ICON_STOP` (power), `ICON_EDIT` (pencil), `ICON_CLONE` (copy), `ICON_TRASH` (trash), `ICON_SETTINGS` (gear), `ICON_TEST` (flask), `ICON_OK` (circle-check), `ICON_WARNING` (triangle-alert), `ICON_HELP` (circle-help), `ICON_LIST_CHECKS` (list-checks), `ICON_CIRCLE_OFF` (circle-off).
+
+For icon-only buttons, use `btn btn-icon` CSS classes. The `.icon` class inside buttons auto-sizes to 16×16.
+
+## Localization (i18n)
+
+**Every user-facing string must be localized.** Never use hardcoded English strings in `showToast()`, `error.textContent`, modal messages, or any other UI-visible text. Always use `t('key')` from `../core/i18n.js` and add the corresponding key to **all three** locale files (`en.json`, `ru.json`, `zh.json`).
+
+- In JS modules: `import { t } from '../core/i18n.js';` then `showToast(t('my.key'), 'error')`
+- In inline `<script>` blocks (where `t()` may not be available yet): use `window.t ? t('key') : 'fallback'`
+- In HTML templates: use `data-i18n="key"` for text content, `data-i18n-title="key"` for title attributes, `data-i18n-aria-label="key"` for aria-labels
+- Keys follow dotted namespace convention: `feature.context.description` (e.g. `device.error.brightness`, `calibration.saved`)
+
+### Dynamic content and language changes
+
+When a feature module generates HTML with baked-in `t()` calls (e.g., toolbar button titles, legend text), that content won't update when the user switches language. To handle this, listen for the `languageChanged` event and re-render:
+
+```javascript
+document.addEventListener('languageChanged', () => {
+    if (_initialized) _reRender();
+});
+```
+
+Static HTML using `data-i18n` attributes is handled automatically by the i18n system. Only dynamically generated HTML needs this pattern.
+
+## Bundling & Development Workflow
+
+The frontend uses **esbuild** to bundle all JS modules and CSS files into single files for production.
+
+### Files
+
+- **Entry points:** `static/js/app.js` (JS), `static/css/all.css` (CSS imports all individual sheets)
+- **Output:** `static/dist/app.bundle.js` and `static/dist/app.bundle.css` (minified + source maps)
+- **Config:** `server/esbuild.mjs`
+- **HTML:** `templates/index.html` references the bundles, not individual source files
+
+### Commands (from `server/` directory)
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `npm run build` | One-shot bundle + minify (~30ms) |
+| `npm run watch` | Watch mode — auto-rebuilds on any JS/CSS file save |
+
+### Development workflow
+
+1. Run `npm run watch` in a terminal (stays running)
+2. Edit source files in `static/js/` or `static/css/` as usual
+3. esbuild rebuilds the bundle automatically (~30ms)
+4. Refresh the browser to see changes
+
+### Dependencies
+
+All JS/CSS dependencies are bundled — **no CDN or external requests** at runtime:
+
+- **Chart.js** — imported in `perf-charts.js`, exposed as `window.Chart` for `targets.js` and `dashboard.js`
+- **ELK.js** — imported in `graph-layout.js` for graph auto-layout
+- **Fonts** — DM Sans (400-700) and Orbitron (700) woff2 files in `static/fonts/`, declared in `css/fonts.css`
+
+When adding a new JS dependency: `npm install <pkg>` in `server/`, then `import` it in the relevant source file. esbuild bundles it automatically.
+
+### Notes
+
+- The `dist/` directory is gitignored — bundles are build artifacts, run `npm run build` after clone
+- Source maps are generated so browser DevTools show original source files
+- The server sets `Cache-Control: no-cache` on static JS/CSS/JSON to prevent stale browser caches during development
+- GZip compression middleware reduces transfer sizes by ~75%
+- **Do not edit files in `static/dist/`** — they are overwritten by the build
+
+## Chrome Browser Tools
+
+See [`contexts/chrome-tools.md`](chrome-tools.md) for Chrome MCP tool usage, browser tricks (hard reload, zoom, console), and verification workflow.
+
+## Duration & Numeric Formatting
+
+### Uptime / duration values
+
+Use `formatUptime(seconds)` from `core/ui.js`. Outputs `{s}s`, `{m}m {s}s`, or `{h}h {m}m` via i18n keys `time.seconds`, `time.minutes_seconds`, `time.hours_minutes`.
+
+### Large numbers
+
+Use `formatCompact(n)` from `core/ui.js`. Outputs `1.2K`, `3.5M` etc. Set `element.title` to the exact value for hover detail.
+
+### Preventing layout shift
+
+Numeric/duration values that update frequently (FPS, uptime, frame counts) **must** use fixed-width styling to prevent layout reflow:
+
+- `font-family: var(--font-mono, monospace)` — equal-width characters
+- `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` — equal-width digits in proportional fonts
+- Fixed `width` or `min-width` on the value container
+- `text-align: right` to anchor the growing edge
+
+Reference: `.dashboard-metric-value` in `dashboard.css` uses `font-family: var(--font-mono)`, `font-weight: 600`, `min-width: 48px`.
+
+### FPS sparkline charts
+
+Use `createFpsSparkline(canvasId, actualHistory, currentHistory, fpsTarget)` from `core/chart-utils.js`. Wrap the canvas in `.target-fps-sparkline` (36px height, `position: relative`, `overflow: hidden`). Show the value in `.target-fps-label` with `.metric-value` and `.target-fps-avg`.
+
+## Visual Graph Editor
+
+See [`contexts/graph-editor.md`](graph-editor.md) for full graph editor architecture and conventions.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** When adding or modifying entity types, subtypes, or connection fields, the graph editor files **must** be updated in sync. The graph maintains its own maps of entity colors, labels, icons, connection rules, and cache references. See the "Keeping the graph in sync with entity types" section in `graph-editor.md` for the complete checklist.

+# Visual Graph Editor
+
+**Read this file when working on the graph editor** (`static/js/features/graph-editor.js` and related modules).
+
+## Architecture
+
+The graph editor renders all entities (devices, templates, sources, clocks, targets, scenes, automations) as SVG nodes connected by edges in a left-to-right layered layout.
+
+### Core modules
+
+| File | Responsibility |
+|---|---|
+| `js/features/graph-editor.js` | Main orchestrator — toolbar, keyboard, search, filter, add-entity menu, port/node drag, minimap |
+| `js/core/graph-layout.js` | ELK.js layout, `buildGraph()`, `computePorts()`, entity color/label maps |
+| `js/core/graph-nodes.js` | SVG node rendering, overlay buttons, per-node color overrides |
+| `js/core/graph-edges.js` | SVG edge rendering (bezier curves, arrowheads, flow dots) |
+| `js/core/graph-canvas.js` | Pan/zoom controller with `zoomToPoint()` rAF animation |
+| `js/core/graph-connections.js` | CONNECTION_MAP — which fields link entity types, drag-connect/detach logic |
+| `css/graph-editor.css` | All graph-specific styles |
+
+### Data flow
+
+1. `loadGraphEditor()` → `_fetchAllEntities()` fetches all caches in parallel
+2. `computeLayout(entities)` builds ELK graph, runs layout → returns `{nodes: Map, edges: Array, bounds}`
+3. `computePorts(nodeMap, edges)` assigns port positions and annotates edges with `fromPortY`/`toPortY`
+4. Manual position overrides (`_manualPositions`) applied after layout
+5. `renderEdges()` + `renderNodes()` paint SVG elements
+6. `GraphCanvas` handles pan/zoom via CSS `transform: scale() translate()`
+
+### Edge rendering
+
+Edges always use `_defaultBezier()` (port-aware cubic bezier) — ELK edge routing is ignored because it lacks port awareness, causing misaligned bend points. ELK is only used for node positioning.
+
+### Port system
+
+Nodes have input ports (left) and output ports (right), colored by edge type. Port types are ordered vertically: `template > picture > colorstrip > value > audio > clock > scene > device > default`.
+
+## Keeping the graph in sync with entity types
+
+**CRITICAL:** When adding or modifying entity types in the system, these graph files MUST be updated:
+
+### Adding a new entity type
+
+1. **`graph-layout.js`** — `ENTITY_COLORS`, `ENTITY_LABELS`, `buildGraph()` (add node loop + edge loops)
+2. **`graph-layout.js`** — `edgeType()` function if the new type needs a distinct edge color
+3. **`graph-nodes.js`** — `KIND_ICONS` (default icon), `SUBTYPE_ICONS` (subtype-specific icons)
+4. **`graph-nodes.js`** — `START_STOP_KINDS` or `TEST_KINDS` sets if the entity supports start/stop or test
+5. **`graph-connections.js`** — `CONNECTION_MAP` for drag-connect edge creation
+6. **`graph-editor.js`** — `ADD_ENTITY_MAP` (add-entity menu entry with window function)
+7. **`graph-editor.js`** — `ALL_CACHES` array (for new-entity-focus watcher)
+8. **`graph-editor.js`** — `_fetchAllEntities()` (add cache fetch + pass to `computeLayout`)
+9. **`core/state.js`** — Add/export the new DataCache
+10. **`app.js`** — Import and window-export the add/edit/clone functions
+
+### Adding a new field/connection to an existing entity
+
+1. **`graph-layout.js`** — `buildGraph()` edges section: add `addEdge()` call
+2. **`graph-connections.js`** — `CONNECTION_MAP`: add the field entry
+3. **`graph-edges.js`** — `EDGE_COLORS` if a new edge type is needed
+
+### Adding a new entity subtype
+
+1. **`graph-nodes.js`** — `SUBTYPE_ICONS[kind]` — add icon for the new subtype
+2. **`graph-layout.js`** — `buildGraph()` — ensure `subtype` is extracted from the entity data
+
+## Features & keyboard shortcuts
+
+| Key | Action |
+|---|---|
+| `/` | Open search |
+| `F` | Toggle filter |
+| `F11` | Toggle fullscreen |
+| `+` | Add entity menu |
+| `Escape` | Close filter → close search → deselect all |
+| `Delete` | Delete selected edge or node |
+| `Arrows / WASD` | Spatial navigation between nodes |
+| `Ctrl+A` | Select all nodes |
+
+## Node color overrides
+
+Per-node colors stored in `localStorage` key `graph_node_colors`. The `getNodeColor(nodeId, kind)` function returns the override or falls back to `ENTITY_COLORS[kind]`. The color bar on the left side of each node is clickable to open a native color picker.
+
+## Filter system
+
+The filter bar (toggled with F or toolbar button) filters nodes by name/kind/subtype. Non-matching nodes get the `.graph-filtered-out` CSS class (low opacity, no pointer events). Edges where either endpoint is filtered also dim. Minimap nodes for filtered-out entities become nearly invisible (opacity 0.07).
+
+## Minimap
+
+Rendered as a small SVG with colored rects for each node and a viewport rect. Supports drag-to-pan, resize handles, and position persistence in localStorage.
+
+## Node hover FPS tooltip
+
+Running `output_target` nodes show a floating HTML tooltip on hover (300ms delay). The tooltip is an absolutely-positioned `<div class="graph-node-tooltip">` inside `.graph-container` (not SVG — needed for Chart.js canvas). It displays errors, uptime, and a FPS sparkline (reusing `createFpsSparkline` from `core/chart-utils.js`). The sparkline is seeded from `/api/v1/system/metrics-history` for instant context.
+
+**Hover events** use `pointerover`/`pointerout` with `relatedTarget` check to prevent flicker when the cursor moves between child SVG elements within the same `<g>` node.
+
+**Node titles** display the full entity name (no truncation). Native SVG `<title>` tooltips are omitted on nodes to avoid conflict with the custom tooltip.
+
+## New entity focus
+
+When a user adds an entity via the graph's + menu, a watcher subscribes to all caches, detects the new ID, reloads the graph, and uses `zoomToPoint()` to smoothly fly to the new node with zoom + highlight animation.

+# Feature Context: Demo Mode
+
+## Current State
+Starting implementation. No changes made yet.
+
+## Key Architecture Notes
+- `EngineRegistry` (class-level dict) holds capture engines, auto-registered in `capture_engines/__init__.py`
+- `AudioEngineRegistry` (class-level dict) holds audio engines, auto-registered in `audio/__init__.py`
+- `LEDDeviceProvider` instances registered via `register_provider()` in `led_client.py`
+- Already has `MockDeviceProvider` + `MockClient` (device type "mock") for testing
+- Config is `pydantic_settings.BaseSettings` in `config.py`, loaded from YAML + env vars
+- Frontend header in `templates/index.html` line 27-31: title + version badge
+- Frontend bundle: `cd server && npm run build` (esbuild)
+- Data stored as JSON in `data/` directory, paths configured via `StorageConfig`
+
+## Temporary Workarounds
+- None yet
+
+## Cross-Phase Dependencies
+- Phase 1 (config flag) is foundational — all other phases depend on `is_demo_mode()`
+- Phase 2 & 3 (engines) can be done independently of each other
+- Phase 4 (seed data) depends on knowing what entities to create, which is informed by phases 2-3
+- Phase 5 (frontend) depends on the system info API field from phase 1
+- Phase 6 (engine resolution) depends on engines existing from phases 2-3
+
+## Implementation Notes
+- Demo mode activated via `WLED_DEMO=true` env var or `demo: true` in YAML config
+- Isolated data directory `data/demo/` keeps demo entities separate from real config
+- Demo engines use `ENGINE_TYPE = "demo"` and are always registered but return `is_available() = True` only in demo mode
+- The existing `MockDeviceProvider`/`MockClient` can be reused or extended for demo device output

+# Feature: Demo Mode
+
+**Branch:** `feature/demo-mode`
+**Base branch:** `master`
+**Created:** 2026-03-20
+**Status:** 🟡 In Progress
+**Strategy:** Big Bang
+**Mode:** Automated
+**Execution:** Orchestrator
+
+## Summary
+Add a demo mode that allows users to explore and test the app without real hardware. Virtual capture engines, audio engines, and device providers replace real hardware. An isolated data directory with seed data provides a fully populated sandbox. A visual indicator in the UI makes it clear the app is running in demo mode.
+
+## Build & Test Commands
+- **Build (frontend):** `cd server && npm run build`
+- **Typecheck (frontend):** `cd server && npm run typecheck`
+- **Test (backend):** `cd server && python -m pytest ../tests/ -x`
+- **Server start:** `cd server && python -m wled_controller.main`

+# Phase 1: Demo Mode Config & Flag
+
+**Status:** ⬜ Not Started
+**Parent plan:** [PLAN.md](./PLAN.md)
+**Domain:** backend
+
+## Objective
+Add a `demo` boolean flag to the application configuration and expose it to the frontend via the system info API. When demo mode is active, the server uses an isolated data directory so demo entities don't pollute real user data.
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Task 1: Add `demo: bool = False` field to `Config` class in `config.py`
+- [ ] Task 2: Add a module-level helper `is_demo_mode() -> bool` in `config.py` for easy import
+- [ ] Task 3: Modify `StorageConfig` path resolution: when `demo=True`, prefix all storage paths with `data/demo/` instead of `data/`
+- [ ] Task 4: Expose `demo_mode: bool` in the existing `GET /api/v1/system/info` endpoint response
+- [ ] Task 5: Add `WLED_DEMO=true` env var support (already handled by pydantic-settings env prefix `WLED_`)
+
+## Files to Modify/Create
+- `server/src/wled_controller/config.py` — Add `demo` field, `is_demo_mode()` helper, storage path override
+- `server/src/wled_controller/api/routes/system.py` — Add `demo_mode` to system info response
+- `server/src/wled_controller/api/schemas/system.py` — Add `demo_mode` field to response schema
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- `Config(demo=True)` is accepted; default is `False`
+- `WLED_DEMO=true` activates demo mode
+- `is_demo_mode()` returns the correct value
+- When demo mode is on, all storage files resolve under `data/demo/`
+- `GET /api/v1/system/info` includes `demo_mode: true/false`
+
+## Notes
+- The env var will be `WLED_DEMO` because of `env_prefix="WLED_"` in pydantic-settings
+- Storage path override should happen at `Config` construction time, not lazily
+
+## Review Checklist
+- [ ] All tasks completed
+- [ ] Code follows project conventions
+- [ ] No unintended side effects
+- [ ] Build passes
+- [ ] Tests pass (new + existing)

+# Phase 2: Virtual Capture Engine
+
+**Status:** ⬜ Not Started
+**Parent plan:** [PLAN.md](./PLAN.md)
+**Domain:** backend
+
+## Objective
+Create a `DemoCaptureEngine` that provides virtual displays and produces animated test pattern frames, allowing screen capture workflows to function in demo mode without real monitors.
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Task 1: Create `server/src/wled_controller/core/capture_engines/demo_engine.py` with `DemoCaptureEngine` and `DemoCaptureStream`
+- [ ] Task 2: `DemoCaptureEngine.ENGINE_TYPE = "demo"`, `ENGINE_PRIORITY = 1000` (highest in demo mode)
+- [ ] Task 3: `is_available()` returns `True` only when `is_demo_mode()` is True
+- [ ] Task 4: `get_available_displays()` returns 3 virtual displays:
+  - "Demo Display 1080p" (1920×1080)
+  - "Demo Ultrawide" (3440×1440)
+  - "Demo Portrait" (1080×1920)
+- [ ] Task 5: `DemoCaptureStream.capture_frame()` produces animated test patterns:
+  - Horizontally scrolling rainbow gradient (simple, visually clear)
+  - Uses `time.time()` for animation so frames change over time
+  - Returns proper `ScreenCapture` with RGB numpy array
+- [ ] Task 6: Register `DemoCaptureEngine` in `capture_engines/__init__.py`
+
+## Files to Modify/Create
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/capture_engines/demo_engine.py` — New file: DemoCaptureEngine + DemoCaptureStream
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/capture_engines/__init__.py` — Register DemoCaptureEngine
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- `DemoCaptureEngine.is_available()` is True only in demo mode
+- Virtual displays appear in the display list API when in demo mode
+- `capture_frame()` returns valid RGB frames that change over time
+- Engine is properly registered in EngineRegistry
+
+## Notes
+- Test patterns should be computationally cheap (no heavy image processing)
+- Use numpy operations for pattern generation (vectorized, fast)
+- Frame dimensions must match the virtual display dimensions
+
+## Review Checklist
+- [ ] All tasks completed
+- [ ] Code follows project conventions
+- [ ] No unintended side effects

+
+**Status:** ⬜ Not Started
+**Parent plan:** [PLAN.md](./PLAN.md)
+**Domain:** backend
+
+## Objective
+Create a `DemoAudioEngine` that provides virtual audio devices and produces synthetic audio data, enabling audio-reactive visualizations in demo mode.
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Task 1: Create `server/src/wled_controller/core/audio/demo_engine.py` with `DemoAudioEngine` and `DemoAudioCaptureStream`
+- [ ] Task 2: `DemoAudioEngine.ENGINE_TYPE = "demo"`, `ENGINE_PRIORITY = 1000`

+- [ ] Task 4: `enumerate_devices()` returns 2 virtual devices:
+  - "Demo Microphone" (input, not loopback)
+  - "Demo System Audio" (loopback)
+- [ ] Task 5: `DemoAudioCaptureStream` implements:
+  - `channels = 2`, `sample_rate = 44100`, `chunk_size = 1024`
+  - `read_chunk()` produces synthetic audio: a mix of sine waves with slowly varying frequencies to simulate music-like beat patterns
+  - Returns proper float32 ndarray
+- [ ] Task 6: Register `DemoAudioEngine` in `audio/__init__.py`
+
+## Files to Modify/Create
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/audio/demo_engine.py` — New file: DemoAudioEngine + DemoAudioCaptureStream
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/audio/__init__.py` — Register DemoAudioEngine
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- `DemoAudioEngine.is_available()` is True only in demo mode
+- Virtual audio devices appear in audio device enumeration when in demo mode
+- `read_chunk()` returns valid float32 audio data that varies over time
+- Audio analyzer produces non-trivial frequency band data from the synthetic signal
+
+## Notes
+- Synthetic audio should produce interesting FFT results (multiple frequencies, amplitude modulation)
+- Keep it computationally lightweight
+- Must conform to `AudioCaptureStreamBase` interface exactly

+# Phase 4: Demo Device Provider & Seed Data
+
+**Status:** ⬜ Not Started
+**Parent plan:** [PLAN.md](./PLAN.md)
+**Domain:** backend
+
+## Objective
+Create a demo device provider that exposes discoverable virtual LED devices, and build a seed data generator that populates the demo data directory with sample entities on first run.
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Task 1: Create `server/src/wled_controller/core/devices/demo_provider.py` — `DemoDeviceProvider` extending `LEDDeviceProvider`:
+  - `device_type = "demo"`
+  - `capabilities = {"manual_led_count", "power_control", "brightness_control", "static_color"}`
+  - `create_client()` returns a `MockClient` (reuse existing)
+  - `discover()` returns 3 pre-defined virtual devices:
+    - "Demo LED Strip" (60 LEDs, ip="demo-strip")
+    - "Demo LED Matrix" (256 LEDs / 16×16, ip="demo-matrix")
+    - "Demo LED Ring" (24 LEDs, ip="demo-ring")
+  - `check_health()` always returns online with simulated ~2ms latency
+  - `validate_device()` returns `{"led_count": <from url>}`
+- [ ] Task 2: Register `DemoDeviceProvider` in `led_client.py` `_register_builtin_providers()`
+- [ ] Task 3: Create `server/src/wled_controller/core/demo_seed.py` — seed data generator:
+  - Function `seed_demo_data(storage_config: StorageConfig)` that checks if demo data dir is empty and populates it
+  - Seed entities: 3 devices (matching discover results), 2 output targets, 2 picture sources (using demo engine), 2 CSS sources (gradient + color_cycle), 1 audio source (using demo engine), 1 scene preset, 1 automation
+  - Use proper ID formats matching existing conventions (e.g., `dev_<hex>`, `tgt_<hex>`, etc.)
+- [ ] Task 4: Call `seed_demo_data()` during server startup in `main.py` when demo mode is active (before stores are loaded)
+
+## Files to Modify/Create
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/devices/demo_provider.py` — New: DemoDeviceProvider
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/devices/led_client.py` — Register DemoDeviceProvider
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/demo_seed.py` — New: seed data generator
+- `server/src/wled_controller/main.py` — Call seed on demo startup
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Demo devices appear in discovery results when in demo mode
+- Seed data populates `data/demo/` with valid JSON files on first demo run
+- Subsequent demo runs don't overwrite existing demo data
+- All seeded entities load correctly in stores
+
+## Notes
+- Seed data must match the exact schema expected by each store (look at existing JSON files for format)
+- Use the entity dataclass `to_dict()` / store patterns to generate valid data
+- Demo discovery should NOT appear when not in demo mode

+# Phase 5: Frontend Demo Indicator & Sandbox UX
+
+**Status:** ⬜ Not Started
+**Parent plan:** [PLAN.md](./PLAN.md)
+**Domain:** fullstack
+
+## Objective
+Add visual indicators in the frontend that clearly communicate demo mode status to the user, including a badge, dismissible banner, and engine labeling.
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Task 1: Add `demo_mode` field to system info API response schema (if not already done in Phase 1)
+- [ ] Task 2: In frontend initialization (`app.ts` or `state.ts`), fetch system info and store `demoMode` in app state
+- [ ] Task 3: Add `<span class="demo-badge" id="demo-badge" style="display:none">DEMO</span>` next to app title in `index.html` header
+- [ ] Task 4: CSS for `.demo-badge`: amber/yellow pill shape, subtle pulse animation, clearly visible but not distracting
+- [ ] Task 5: On app load, if `demoMode` is true: show badge, set `document.body.dataset.demo = 'true'`
+- [ ] Task 6: Add a dismissible demo banner at the top of the page: "You're in demo mode — all devices and data are virtual. No real hardware is used." with a dismiss (×) button. Store dismissal in localStorage.
+- [ ] Task 7: Add i18n keys for demo badge and banner text in `en.json`, `ru.json`, `zh.json`
+- [ ] Task 8: In engine/display dropdowns, demo engines should display with "Demo: " prefix for clarity
+
+## Files to Modify/Create

+- `server/src/wled_controller/static/css/app.css` — Demo badge + banner styles
+- `server/src/wled_controller/static/js/app.ts` — Demo mode detection and UI toggle

+- Demo badge visible next to "LED Grab" title when in demo mode
+- Demo badge hidden when not in demo mode
+- Banner appears on first demo visit, can be dismissed, stays dismissed across refreshes
+- Engine dropdowns clearly label demo engines
+- All text is localized

+# Phase 6: Demo-only Engine Resolution
+
+**Status:** ⬜ Not Started
+**Parent plan:** [PLAN.md](./PLAN.md)
+**Domain:** backend
+
+## Objective
+Ensure demo engines are the primary/preferred engines in demo mode, and are hidden when not in demo mode. This makes demo mode act as a "virtual platform" where only demo engines resolve.
+
+## Tasks
+
+- [ ] Task 1: Modify `EngineRegistry.get_available_engines()` to filter out engines with `ENGINE_TYPE == "demo"` when not in demo mode (they report `is_available()=False` anyway, but belt-and-suspenders)
+- [ ] Task 2: Modify `AudioEngineRegistry.get_available_engines()` similarly
+- [ ] Task 3: In demo mode, `get_best_available_engine()` should return the demo engine (already handled by priority=1000, but verify)
+- [ ] Task 4: Modify the `GET /api/v1/config/displays` endpoint: in demo mode, default to demo engine displays if no engine_type specified
+- [ ] Task 5: Modify the audio engine listing endpoint similarly
+- [ ] Task 6: Ensure `DemoDeviceProvider.discover()` only returns devices when in demo mode
+- [ ] Task 7: End-to-end verification: start server in demo mode, verify only demo engines/devices appear in API responses
+
+## Files to Modify/Create
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/capture_engines/factory.py` — Filter demo engines
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/audio/factory.py` — Filter demo engines
+- `server/src/wled_controller/api/routes/system.py` — Display endpoint defaults
+- `server/src/wled_controller/api/routes/audio_templates.py` — Audio engine listing
+- `server/src/wled_controller/core/devices/demo_provider.py` — Guard discover()
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- In demo mode: demo engines are primary, real engines may also be listed but demo is default
+- Not in demo mode: demo engines are completely hidden from all API responses
+- Display list defaults to demo displays in demo mode
+- Audio device list defaults to demo devices in demo mode
+
+## Notes
+- This is the "demo OS identifier" concept — demo mode acts as a virtual platform
+- Be careful not to break existing behavior when demo=False (default)
+- The demo engines already have `is_available() = is_demo_mode()`, so the main concern is UI defaults

 ## Frontend UI Patterns
 
+### Entity Cards
+
+All entity cards (devices, targets, CSS sources, streams, scenes, automations, etc.) **must support clone functionality**. Clone buttons use the `ICON_CLONE` (📋) icon in `.card-actions`.
+
+**Clone pattern**: Clone must open the entity's add/create modal with fields prefilled from the cloned item. It must **never** silently create a duplicate — the user should review and confirm.
+
+Implementation:
+
+1. Export a `cloneMyEntity(id)` function that fetches (or finds in cache) the entity data
+2. Call the add/create modal function, passing the entity data as `cloneData`
+3. In the modal opener, detect clone mode (no ID + cloneData present) and prefill all fields
+4. Append `' (Copy)'` to the name
+5. Set the modal title to the "add" variant (not "edit")
+6. The save action creates a new entity (POST), not an update (PUT)
+
+```javascript
+export async function cloneMyEntity(id) {
+    const entity = myCache.data.find(e => e.id === id);
+    if (!entity) return;
+    showMyEditor(null, entity);  // null id = create mode, entity = cloneData
+}
+```
+
+Register the clone function in `app.js` window exports so inline `onclick` handlers can call it.
+
