- Volatile frames are held in memory with a byte-bounded queue instead of
the /dev/shm ring scanned on every put; workers keep writing to the
directory, which is trimmed on a timer. A volatile upload no longer spools
to disk. ARTIFACT_VOLATILE_BYTES=0 turns the ring off.
- A device sends camera frames as binary messages on its socket, held and
published in one step and credited to its device node; refused frames are
logged and dropped. Its snapshot carries demand and the uplink (binary, or
http through the portal).
- One demand registry for every socket's wanted media, the tunnel's
included, plus what running flows read, mapped onto on-demand ports and
published as device_demand; at most 8 media names per socket.
- Per-message deflate off in serve and dev; a device may fetch the last 8
digests of a message; published dashboards cached per store revision; a
revoked device socket is closed with 1008.
- Media tiles want bytes only while on screen; the Devices tab previews a
wired camera; the device node warns when a flow reads an on-demand port.
Every call through the portal arrives off the tunnel, so the per-address limit
skips those (the hub limits them by the real address), and the cap of 50 counts
and evicts portal and local requests apart, so a portal flood never pushes out
a device waiting on this network.
- POST /devices/pair answers a 2-character `check`, listed by /devices/pending
and shown beside each waiting entry; five codes a minute per address, and at
50 waiting the oldest gives way instead of a 429
- portal-minted device tokens are asked for with the device's nonce (`pnc`) and
held against it, so unpair and delete revoke them; one without `pnc` stands
only while the nonce is 0
- a device credential acts as the device (`device_principal`), not as the
approving superuser, so deleting that account unpairs nothing
- the report is validated port by port: unknown enum values read as `unknown`,
unreadable ports and sections are left out and logged, `config` may name an
entry of `config_schemas`; 422 only for no schema 1 or no object
- devices.json is parsed once per change (cached by stat), delete drops the
report and keeps the nonce, a busy recheck runs in the background
- scope and io only from enabled flows (start/stop tells the devices), a port
bound twice gives one io row
- the Devices tab's saves cancel and hold back device refetches until settled
- A device credential that cannot be checked now (device store not running,
nonces unreadable) raises DeviceUnavailable: 503 over HTTP, and the
/flows/ws handshake and the tunnel stream accept and close with 1013.
1008 (a 403 before accepting) stays for a revoked or invalid one
- Device files are written through a temporary file, so a read mid-save no
longer looks like a deleted device
- The first report turns Touch friendly on only for a device paired since
pairings are noted (DeviceState.paired_at), so devices paired before keep
the switch they were given
- NodeDef reads `device`/`device_policy` from older clients as the worker
label, for a release
- Tests: transient vs revoked socket, the touch default, the old worker keys,
and a restart with a device node and a node_health rule sending no push
A device reports its board, screen, camera and ports from its own
credential (16 KB, schema 1, replacing the last report), and the flows
are validated against it again. The node panel turns a reported port's
config schema into a form, a reported screen is a canvas preset and a
touch screen's first report turns Touch friendly on. An offline device
node is degraded: amber on the canvas, a warning on Home, never a fault.
- NodeDef `device`/`device_policy` become `worker`/`worker_policy`, the
issue `ignored_device` becomes `ignored_worker`, and the SDK's `@node`
takes `worker=` and `worker_policy=`
- FlowStore._migrate renames the keys in published and draft documents
once, bumping their version; a queued run's `needs` reads the old key
- placement passes the label as `label`, client regenerated
- docs: worker placement wording, MCP issuer without DOMAIN, device rows in
the CLI data directory and the API table, device links in compose comments
- flow/nodes/device.py: `device` node with params `device` and `config`;
provides the device's `in` ports, requires its `out` ports without
waking anything, never run (Node.passive), down "Offline" from presence
- DeviceDef.io and DevicePort go; GET /devices/{id} computes `io` and
`bindings` from the device nodes of published flows, in a fixed order,
cached by FlowStore.revision; the credential's scope comes from them
- issues `unknown_device` and `device_port` (wired twice; against a report
the wrong direction or dtype, or unlisted as advisory), rechecked when a
device is created or deleted; ValidationIssue.advisory is a field
- a device publishing on a bound port is credited to its node by the
server; the panel endpoint kind is gone from `_endpoints` and the canvas
- a rebuild that moves a device's bindings sends `dashboard_changed` with
an empty name, which the firmware refetches on
- startup moves each device's `io` rows into device nodes in the flows
declaring their messages, draft and published, one commit; rows no
flow declares are logged and left out
- frontend: Device node settings (device, Publishes, Follows, a port
picker from a report), palette shortcuts per reported port, DeviceDetail
lists bindings with "Use in flow" in place of the I/O editor
- docs: devices, flow editor, node types, issues, API
- flow/devices.py: DeviceDef in FLOWS_DIR/_devices/<id>.json, committed under
the flow store's write lock, 409 on a stale version; nonces in DEVICES_FILE
outside git; in-memory presence announced as device_status
- api/routes/devices.py: CRUD, pairing with an optional {name, board,
firmware}, a pending list adopted without a code from the LAN only, unpair;
/panels/pair, /panels/pair/{code} and GET /panels/{id} kept as aliases,
PUT /panels/ gone
- _device_may replaces _panel_may, JWT claims unchanged
- panels.json moves into devices once at startup, then .migrated
- MCP list_devices, get_device; search category device
- Devices tab (list, detail with presence, pairing, ordered dashboards,
touch, I/O), PanelsDialog removed, serialised optimistic saves
Copy widget in the widget panel or mod+c keeps one widget in localStorage;
a paste button in the dock and mod+v insert it below the other widgets with
a fresh id. Placement is shared with adding a widget.
faster-whisper and piper as plain Function nodes, the mic -> STT -> logic ->
TTS -> speaker wiring, the Modules manifest they need (uv pip compile, av<19)
and measured sizes, memory and CPU times. Modules docs now say uv pip sync
installs no dependencies.
Changing dashboard kept the grid mounted, so every new tile rose at once.
The grid is drawn afresh per dashboard and its tiles come in row by row:
from below, top row first, for one further down the rail, and from above,
bottom row first, for one further up, as a round panel's dashboards slide.
A phone stacks a dashboard instead of drawing it on a canvas, and the canvas
was what carried the ground, so a stack had only the palette's colour. The
panel and the editor now draw the look's ground behind the stack, held still
while it scrolls. Glass's drift stops under reduced motion as it does on a
canvas.
A widget that fell off the panel, after the canvas was made smaller, was
drawn under the clip and could only be re-packed with Reflow. Editing, the
canvas now extends to the lowest widget and scrolls, with the panel's own
edge dashed and the area past it hatched, so the widget can be dragged
back. The scale stays the panel's, and view mode is unchanged.
The canvas states the look of the dashboard shown, so a neighbour beside it
and the one a turn leaves wore that look too. Each page now restates its own
look, theme and palette. The ring's paint moves from rules under
[data-look] to variables each look sets on its root, which stop at the
nearer root where a descendant rule reached into both.
A portal identity whose email a local user already has is still refused
on arrival. POST /cloud/members/{portal_sub}/link lets a superuser map it
onto that user, never a superuser's, after the portal confirms the
membership. GET /cloud/members marks such members linkable, and Admin →
Users offers "Link portal account" for them, saying that a linked user is
deleted with a removal at the portal or a Disconnect.
A local Disconnect deletes every portal-mapped user except the account the
instance was enrolled as and superusers, so no inert rows stay behind. The
confirm dialog says so, and Admin → Users refreshes.
The connector now serves /mcp, its OAuth documents and /hooks/ besides
/api/v1/, refuses any dot segment (httpx resolves them, which carried
/api/v1/../../mcp onto the MCP mount), addresses calls to the hub's host,
and bridges served sockets by calling the app with a websocket scope.
A hook without a secret answers the tunnel with the 404 (or 1008) of a
wrong secret. Requests through the hub get the hub's issuer, resource and
consent page in the OAuth metadata and the 401, and the MCP host check
admits the hub while enrolled.
The welcome frame's keys replace the set pinned at enrolment, but only
over wss:// or loopback, the rule enrolment applies to the portal
address. Portal tokens are verified against the key their kid names, so
the hub can publish a new key beside the old one. A welcome without keys,
from an older hub, leaves the pinned set alone.
GET /cloud/members asks the portal who it admits to this instance and
marks those with a local user. DELETE /cloud/members/{portal_sub} takes a
membership back. Admin → Users lists the members who have not arrived
yet, with Revoke, which also surfaces a membership left standing when a
local user was deleted while the portal could not be told.
On a member_removed frame the connector deletes the local user mapped to
that portal account, never the owner and never a superuser, since the
portal only ever creates ordinary accounts here. An instance offline at
the time keeps the inert row, as before.
The connector treats close code 4410 from the hub as final: it stops
dialling, keeps cloud.json so a new claim code replaces it, and reports
revoked in /cloud/status, which Settings → Remote access shows as Removed
at the portal. Enrolling again, or a restart, brings the link back. An
older hub still answers 403 and the link keeps retrying as before.
