refactor(workshop): autodetect collections; drop input_mode form field
add_items now always calls expand_collections after parsing input, so a
single textarea accepts any mix of item IDs/URLs and collection IDs/URLs
without a mode toggle. The legacy "items vs collection" branching in the
handler is gone. Existing tests strip the now-ignored input_mode field;
two new tests cover the autodetect (collection-only) and mixed-paste
paths.

Plan deviation: rather than baking the expand_collections passthrough
into the _patch_steam helper (the plan's suggestion), uses a module-
autouse fixture _stub_expand_collections to stub it to identity by
default. The autouse approach handles the patch-shadowing problem the
helper version would have introduced for the new autodetect tests (which
need to assert specific args on a per-test expand_collections patch).

left4me

left4me is a local L4D2 server management platform with two planned components:

  1. l4d2host + l4d2ctl (host library + CLI)
  2. l4d2-web-app (Flask web app for users, blueprints, servers, jobs, and logs)

Status

Implementation plans remain the source of truth for architecture and task sequencing:

  • docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-22-l4d2-host-lib-v1.md
  • docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-23-l4d2-web-app-v1.md

Locked v1 Decisions

  • Naming is strictly l4d2 (not l4d).
  • Host library and web app are separate components.
  • Host CLI write commands are fixed to:
    • install
    • initialize <name> -f <spec.yaml>
    • start <name>
    • stop <name>
    • delete <name>
  • Host CLI read commands are available for the web/host boundary:
    • status <name> --json
    • logs <name> --lines <n> --follow/--no-follow
  • The web app calls host operations through l4d2ctl, not direct l4d2host imports.
  • Deployment uses /var/lib/left4me for runtime state, /opt/left4me for repository contents and the virtualenv, /etc/left4me for environment files, and global units under /usr/local/lib/systemd/system.
  • Overlay handling is directory-based; the web app populates each overlay (workshop downloads, managed-global refresh).
  • No lock manager, no rollback, no preflight checks in host library.
  • CLI propagates subprocess failures via stderr and return code.
  • delete on missing instance is no-op success.
  • Blueprint model (web app):
    • user-private in v1
    • servers are live-linked to blueprint
    • no per-server overrides
    • delete blueprint blocked when linked servers exist
    • blueprint changes apply on next action
    • server can reassign blueprint anytime

Planned Repository Layout

  • l4d2host/
  • l4d2web/
  • deploy/
  • docs/superpowers/plans/

Deployment

See deploy/README.md for the Linux test deployment contract, including the runtime user, target filesystem layout, systemd units, privileged helpers, sudoers rules, admin bootstrap, and overlay reference rules.

Local development

This repo is a uv workspace (l4d2host + l4d2web as members) with a committed uv.lock and a .python-version pinning Python 3.13 (matching the Debian Trixie production target).

One-time prereq: install uv (macOS: brew install uv; Linux: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shuv is not yet in Debian stable's apt).

  1. direnv allow once per fresh checkout (and after any .envrc change). .envrc uses use uv, which runs uv sync and activates .venv/ on cd.
  2. Without direnv: uv sync at the repo root creates .venv/, installs both workspace members editable, and pulls in dev deps (pytest) from the lockfile.
  3. Tests: uv run pytest (or just pytest once the venv is on PATH).

Tech Stack (planned)

  • Python 3.13+ (workspace uses uv + hatchling)
  • Typer, PyYAML, pytest
  • Flask, SQLAlchemy, Alembic
  • HTMX (vendored locally), custom CSS, SSE
  • systemd units, kernel overlayfs (mounted via the left4me-overlay privileged helper), steamcmd
  1. Implement l4d2host plan first.
  2. Implement l4d2web plan second.
  3. Keep tests green task-by-task (TDD flow from plans).
  4. Keep commits small and aligned with plan tasks.

Contributing Notes

  • Follow plan task order unless explicitly re-planned.
  • Keep contracts above unchanged unless the user asks to change them.
  • Update plan docs when scope or behavior changes.
