feat(files): migrate binary-replace JS flow to URL-addressable modal
Step 8/12 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-17-files-overlay-rewrite.md.

The "edit" action handler in editor.js now ALWAYS opens the URL-
addressable modal — both editable text files and binary files. The
server's /files/edit route picks the template branch (text editor vs.
binary-replace panel) based on is_editable(target); data-editable on
the action element becomes informational only.

Binary-replace handlers extended in editor.js to cover the routed
modal (the panel that .files-editor-binary now lives inside):

  * routedReplacement (module-scope nullable) — the queued File for
    routed binary mode. Cleared on modal-container close so reopening
    starts fresh.
  * setRoutedReplacement(mc, file) — updates idle/queued markup,
    populates name/size labels, calls updateRoutedBinarySaveEnabled.
  * isRoutedBinaryMode(mc) — true when #modal-content holds a binary
    panel; used by the click delegation to route Save → replace.
  * updateRoutedBinarySaveEnabled(mc) — enables Save when a file is
    queued OR the filename input has been edited. Mirrors the legacy
    binary-mode updateSaveEnabled logic.

The existing dragover / dragleave / drop / change / click delegated
listeners gained routed-mode branches alongside the legacy branches,
gated by inLegacyEditor / inRoutedEditor (mutually exclusive — the
selectors only match inside one editor at a time).

routedReplaceClicked added, mirroring legacy binary save:
  * Queued file present → POST /files/replace (multipart, with optional
    new_path for rename-on-replace)
  * Queued file absent but filename edited → POST /files/move (rename
    only)
  * Neither → no-op (Save was disabled, shouldn't be reachable)

Filename-input delegated listener re-evaluates Save enablement when
the user types in routed binary mode (so rename-only is reachable
without queueing a file).

The legacy openEditorForFile function in editor.js is now unreachable
from a user action (the "edit" handler no longer calls it). It stays
in this file until Step 9 deletes the legacy dialog block wholesale.

Verified live on /overlays/2 in Chromium:
  * Click test.png (binary, data-editable="0") → URL becomes
    ?modal=%2Foverlays%2F2%2Ffiles%2Fedit%3Fpath%3Dtest.png
  * Routed modal opens with binary panel; Save labeled "Replace" and
    disabled
  * Synthetic drop event with a File → Save enables, idle label hides,
    queued label shows "new.png · 18 B"
  * Clear button → idle restored, Save disables
  * Type new filename without queueing → Save enables (rename-only)
  * Revert filename → Save disables
  * No console errors
  * pytest still 579 passed, 1 skipped, 3 deselected (no Python changes
    in Step 8)

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
