Step 3/12 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-17-files-overlay-rewrite.md.
dialogs.js owns the three inline <dialog> modals that surround the
file manager:
* #files-new-folder-modal — "+ folder" / mkdir prompt
* #files-delete-modal — delete-confirm for files and folders
* #files-conflict-modal — overwrite / keep-both / cancel choice
Pattern change: the legacy file used clone-and-rebind
(replaceWith(cloneNode(true)) + fresh addEventListener) to drop stale
state-bearing click listeners between dialog opens. dialogs.js replaces
that with a single delegated listener per dialog, reading per-dialog
state from module-scope nullable variables (conflictState,
deleteState, newFolderState). The state is set when the dialog opens
and cleared on the 'close' event so dismissals don't leave stale
references. Listener attaches once per page load.
Dialog opens go through window.modals.openInline()/closeInline()
instead of dialog.showModal()/close() directly, completing the inline-
modal convention from commit

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
l4d2ctlvia a local host command runner, not directl4d2hostimports
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 examplesqlite:////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
