fix(editor): drop prism.css to unblock dark-mode rendering
Prism's stock theme has

    code[class*=language-] { color:#000; background:transparent; }

at specificity (0,1,1), which beats our .editor-code (0,1,0). Result:
the editor's background was transparent and base text was #000, leaving
black-on-dark text in dark mode (unreadable).

We override every Prism token class we use (.token.comment / .string /
.keyword / .number / .operator / .identifier) via theme-aware
--color-* tokens defined in both :root and the
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) block of tokens.css, so prism.css
contributes nothing of value. Drop the <link> from _editor_assets.html.
Flip the form-contract tests to assert prism.css is NOT in the body so
a future accidental re-add is caught.

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
