refactor(datetime): introduce UtcDateTime, remove naive-strip workarounds 
Adds a UtcDateTime TypeDecorator (models.py) that enforces aware-UTC on
write and stamps tzinfo=UTC on read. Replaces 26 DateTime column
declarations. Removes 5 production sites that defensively stripped tzinfo
to match SQLite's lossy round-trip. auth.py now coerces legacy session
cookies upward (stamp UTC on parsed naive marker) instead of stripping
live aware markers downward.

The change is Python-side only: UtcDateTime.impl = DateTime, so DDL and
emitted SQL are unchanged. No Alembic migration needed.

Adds 2 unit tests in test_models.py pinning the decorator's contract
independently of the column declarations.

The three deliberately-naive test_timeago.py fixtures (lines 67, 73, 113)
remain naive on purpose -- they exercise _ensure_utc's normalize-up path
at the public filter boundary, which stays as belt-and-braces defense.

See docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-16-tz-aware-datetime-design.md.

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
