Step 12/12 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-17-files-overlay-rewrite.md.
End of Phase C — end of the rewrite plan.
Two cleanups in one commit:
1. Delete GET /overlays/<id>/files/content.
The legacy openEditorForFile in files-overlay.js was its only caller,
and Step 9 deleted that code path. grep confirms no remaining live
callers (the matches in .claude/worktrees/* are other in-flight
branches; matches in docs/ are plan/spec text describing the route's
history). Removed:
* The @bp.get route function (was already a thin wrapper around
_load_file_for_editing from Step 11)
* The endpoint's mention in the module docstring
* test_content_returns_text
* test_content_returns_415_for_binary
* test_content_404_for_non_files_overlay
* The /files/content entry in the batched "non-files-overlay 404s
everywhere" test
The _load_file_for_editing helper from Step 11 becomes single-caller
(only the edit route uses it now). Kept because the function name
gives the prelude a useful named concept and inlining would add ~17
lines of low-density logic into overlay_file_edit_page.
2. Extract _apply_optional_rename.
overlay_file_save and overlay_file_replace had near-identical rename
branches: safe_resolve_for_move → 422-on-traversal, 409-if-dst-exists,
mkdir-parents, os.rename → echo_path = new_path. Extracted into
_apply_optional_rename(overlay, path, new_path) → (write_target,
echo_path) | Response.
The helper handles both cases:
* Rename: atomic rename, returns (dst, new_path)
* No rename: safe_resolve_for_write, mkdir parents, returns
(write_target, path)
Save's "destination is not a file" 409 (creation branch) stays inline
in overlay_file_save — it's save-specific behavior that doesn't apply
to /replace (which assumes a file exists or creates one).
Subtle behavior change in /save: the prior code called
safe_resolve_for_write(new_path or path) upfront and then potentially
overrode write_target via safe_resolve_for_move. The new code only
calls one validator per branch. Confirmed equivalent: per
overlay_files.py:36-58 (safe_resolve_for_write) vs. lines 76-106
(safe_resolve_for_move), the dst-side checks are identical (root
escape, symlink refuse, parent-is-dir) and safe_resolve_for_move adds
strictly more (src must exist, cycle check for directory moves). pytest
covers the save/replace paths and stays green.
pytest: 580 → 577 passed, 1 skipped, 3 deselected. The -3 is the 3
deleted /files/content tests.
files_routes.py: ended at 735 lines. The plan estimated ~450 — the
delta is the new /files/new route (~43 lines, Step 5), the binary
template branch (Step 7), the _load_file_for_editing helper (Step 11),
and module-header expansions. The structural goal (no dead routes,
shared helpers across paths) is met.
End-of-plan summary:
* 1091-line files-overlay.js → 4 focused modules totaling 1191 lines
(core.js 247, editor.js 309, dialogs.js 212, uploads.js 423)
* Editor flows (text edit, binary replace, create new) all run
through URL-addressable modals (?modal= deep-linkable)
* Legacy <dialog id="files-editor-modal"> deleted
* /files/content deleted (dead endpoint)
* Shared helpers _load_file_for_editing + _apply_optional_rename
* pytest stayed green at every step
* Chromium-verified every step

left4me
left4me is a local L4D2 server management platform with two planned components:
l4d2host+l4d2ctl(host library + CLI)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.mddocs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-23-l4d2-web-app-v1.md
Locked v1 Decisions
- Naming is strictly
l4d2(notl4d). - Host library and web app are separate components.
- Host CLI write commands are fixed to:
installinitialize <name> -f <spec.yaml>start <name>stop <name>delete <name>
- Host CLI read commands are available for the web/host boundary:
status <name> --jsonlogs <name> --lines <n> --follow/--no-follow
- The web app calls host operations through
l4d2ctl, not directl4d2hostimports. - Deployment uses
/var/lib/left4mefor runtime state,/opt/left4mefor repository contents and the virtualenv,/etc/left4mefor 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.
deleteon 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 | sh — uv is not yet in Debian stable's apt).
direnv allowonce per fresh checkout (and after any.envrcchange)..envrcusesuse uv, which runsuv syncand activates.venv/oncd.- Without direnv:
uv syncat the repo root creates.venv/, installs both workspace members editable, and pulls in dev deps (pytest) from the lockfile. - Tests:
uv run pytest(or justpytestonce 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-overlayprivileged helper), steamcmd
Recommended Implementation Order
- Implement
l4d2hostplan first. - Implement
l4d2webplan second. - Keep tests green task-by-task (TDD flow from plans).
- 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.
