fix(editor): capture-phase keydown + popup leak + cache warmup
Addresses Critical #1 + Important #2/#3/#4 from the Task 9 code review.

CRITICAL — Tab/Enter were stolen by CodeJar before the popup handler
saw them. CodeJar registers its keydown listener during construction
(line ~159), so it ran first in bubble order: Tab handler
preventDefaulted and inserted 2 spaces, Enter handler preventDefaulted
+ stopPropagation'd (with leading indent), so the popup-accept either
ran on corrupted state or never fired at all. Fix: register the popup
listener with {capture: true} and call stopPropagation on the keys we
own — that way capture phase fires before CodeJar's bubble listener
and the key is fully consumed by the popup while it's visible. Normal
typing (popup hidden) early-returns without stopPropagation, so
CodeJar's tab-indent + enter-preserve-indent still work when there's
no autocomplete to accept.

IMPORTANT — destroy() leaked the popup <ul> into document.body. Each
mount/destroy cycle (e.g. modal close/reopen) left an orphan popup.
Fix: pop.remove() in destroy().

IMPORTANT — async refreshPopup could race in stale renders if the
first keystroke fired the vocab fetch and the second keystroke
captured a different ctx before the fetch resolved. Fix: warm the
cache with a fire-and-forget loadVocab(language) at mount, so the
first user keystroke hits cache. Eliminates the only realistic window
for the race.

IMPORTANT — acceptCompletion's Range.setStart could throw
IndexSizeError on pathological state (caret inside a tokenized span
where the fragment isn't fully upstream). Fix: try/catch the entire
DOM mutation block, log + dismiss on failure. Plus an inline comment
documenting the single-text-node invariant the current grammars hold.

Plan source updated for the capture-phase fix (most important for
future regeneration); the other fixes are smaller and only mirrored
into the actual code.

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
