refactor(repo): uv workspace + hatchling + layout restructure
Migrate from pip-install-e + setuptools to a uv workspace with a
committed uv.lock for deterministic deps. Switch both members to
hatchling, and move package sources into nested standard layout
(l4d2host/l4d2host/, l4d2web/l4d2web/) so builds work from a
read-only source tree — setuptools wrote egg-info to source under
the old layout, which broke uv sync on the root-owned /opt/left4me/src.

Local dev install: `pip install -e ./l4d2host -e ./l4d2web` -> `uv sync`.
.envrc switches from `layout python python3.13` to `use uv`. Python
pinned to 3.13 via .python-version.

l4d2web now declares its cross-dep on l4d2host explicitly via
[tool.uv.sources] (workspace = true). l4d2web/alembic.ini and
l4d2web/alembic/ stay at the project root (standard alembic layout).

Test fixes:
- tests/__init__.py added to both test dirs so pytest doesn't shadow
  l4d2host as a namespace package via outer-dir walk.
- 3 CWD-relative paths in tests (l4d2web/static/css/{tokens,layout}.css
  and js/sse.js) anchored to Path(__file__) so they survive layout
  changes.
- Two test_install.py tests now monkeypatch HOME to tmp_path so they
  stop silently mutating ~/.steam/sdk32 on every run.

628 tests pass under sandboxed `uv run pytest`.

Per docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-15-uv-workspace-execution.md;
prereq for the ckn-bw bundle's uv-sync action (queued).

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
