mwiegand 052ddcb4f0 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.

README.md

l4d2-web-app

Flask web app for managing L4D2 servers through user-private blueprints.

Key v1 behaviors

Local username/password login; no public signup
Admin-managed overlay catalog
Private blueprints per user
Server creation from blueprints (live-linked; no per-server blueprint overrides)
Async job model with persisted command logs in job_logs
Desired vs actual state model
Live logs for jobs and servers via SSE endpoints
Host operations go through l4d2ctl via a local host command runner, not direct l4d2host imports

Frontend constraints

Server-rendered templates (Jinja)
Vendored HTMX (static/vendor/htmx.min.js)
Custom CSS only
Tokenized, consistent link and accent colors

Development

From the workspace root (../):

uv sync          # creates .venv, installs l4d2host + l4d2web editable, plus dev deps
uv run pytest l4d2web/tests -q

Configuration

The web app reads these settings from the environment:

DATABASE_URL: SQLAlchemy database URL, for example sqlite:////var/lib/left4me/left4me.db.
SECRET_KEY: Flask secret key used for sessions and CSRF-sensitive state.
JOB_WORKER_THREADS: number of background job worker threads.

In the systemd deployment, environment is loaded from /etc/left4me/host.env and /etc/left4me/web.env.

Admin Bootstrap

Create the first admin account with the Flask CLI. Provide the password through LEFT4ME_ADMIN_PASSWORD:

LEFT4ME_ADMIN_PASSWORD='change-me' flask create-user <username> --admin
