feat(files): scaffold files-overlay/core.js with helpers + action registry
Step 1/12 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-17-files-overlay-rewrite.md.

Pure scaffolding — no behavior change. core.js is loaded with defer in
overlay_detail.html before the existing files-overlay.js script tag
(both with defer, so execution order follows document order). Both
files run the same .files-manager guard, both attach document-level
click listeners on the action selector. The legacy file's switch-case
still owns dispatch; core.js's listener dispatches into an empty
registry until Steps 2–4 populate handlers.

window.__filesOverlay exposes:
  * manager / overlayId / baseUrl / treeRoot / csrfToken (manager-
    element-derived state, computed once)
  * helpers.{joinPath, parentOf, basename, escapeHtml, humanSize,
    fetchJson, postJson, postForm, refreshFolder, findRowByPath,
    cssEscape, scheduleRefresh} (duplicated from legacy file for the
    duration of Phase A; de-duplicates as feature modules migrate out)
  * registerHandler(op, fn) / handleAction(op, path, actionEl) — the
    action-dispatch registry that Steps 2–4 populate

Per the canonical plan's errata commit (d76ee05), the script tag goes
in overlay_detail.html (not base.html as the original plan said) and
uses defer to match the existing pattern.

Verified live on /overlays/2 in Chromium: both <script> tags present
in DOM order; window.__filesOverlay shape matches expectation (8
top-level keys, 12 helpers); overlayId="2", baseUrl="/overlays/2",
treeRoot resolved; joinPath('foo/','/bar') === 'foo/bar' smoke test
passes; no console errors; existing 3-file/1-folder tree still
renders. pytest still 573 passed, 1 skipped, 3 deselected.

left4me

left4me is a local L4D2 server management platform with two planned components:

  1. l4d2host + l4d2ctl (host library + CLI)
  2. l4d2-web-app (Flask web app for users, blueprints, servers, jobs, and logs)

Status

Implementation plans remain the source of truth for architecture and task sequencing:

  • docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-22-l4d2-host-lib-v1.md
  • docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-23-l4d2-web-app-v1.md

Locked v1 Decisions

  • Naming is strictly l4d2 (not l4d).
  • Host library and web app are separate components.
  • Host CLI write commands are fixed to:
    • install
    • initialize <name> -f <spec.yaml>
    • start <name>
    • stop <name>
    • delete <name>
  • Host CLI read commands are available for the web/host boundary:
    • status <name> --json
    • logs <name> --lines <n> --follow/--no-follow
  • The web app calls host operations through l4d2ctl, not direct l4d2host imports.
  • Deployment uses /var/lib/left4me for runtime state, /opt/left4me for repository contents and the virtualenv, /etc/left4me for environment files, and global units under /usr/local/lib/systemd/system.
  • Overlay handling is directory-based; the web app populates each overlay (workshop downloads, managed-global refresh).
  • No lock manager, no rollback, no preflight checks in host library.
  • CLI propagates subprocess failures via stderr and return code.
  • delete on missing instance is no-op success.
  • Blueprint model (web app):
    • user-private in v1
    • servers are live-linked to blueprint
    • no per-server overrides
    • delete blueprint blocked when linked servers exist
    • blueprint changes apply on next action
    • server can reassign blueprint anytime

Planned Repository Layout

  • l4d2host/
  • l4d2web/
  • deploy/
  • docs/superpowers/plans/

Deployment

See deploy/README.md for the Linux test deployment contract, including the runtime user, target filesystem layout, systemd units, privileged helpers, sudoers rules, admin bootstrap, and overlay reference rules.

Local development

This repo is a uv workspace (l4d2host + l4d2web as members) with a committed uv.lock and a .python-version pinning Python 3.13 (matching the Debian Trixie production target).

One-time prereq: install uv (macOS: brew install uv; Linux: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shuv is not yet in Debian stable's apt).

  1. direnv allow once per fresh checkout (and after any .envrc change). .envrc uses use uv, which runs uv sync and activates .venv/ on cd.
  2. Without direnv: uv sync at the repo root creates .venv/, installs both workspace members editable, and pulls in dev deps (pytest) from the lockfile.
  3. Tests: uv run pytest (or just pytest once the venv is on PATH).

Tech Stack (planned)

  • Python 3.13+ (workspace uses uv + hatchling)
  • Typer, PyYAML, pytest
  • Flask, SQLAlchemy, Alembic
  • HTMX (vendored locally), custom CSS, SSE
  • systemd units, kernel overlayfs (mounted via the left4me-overlay privileged helper), steamcmd
  1. Implement l4d2host plan first.
  2. Implement l4d2web plan second.
  3. Keep tests green task-by-task (TDD flow from plans).
  4. Keep commits small and aligned with plan tasks.

Contributing Notes

  • Follow plan task order unless explicitly re-planned.
  • Keep contracts above unchanged unless the user asks to change them.
  • Update plan docs when scope or behavior changes.
