The backend image now builds the SPA and serves it on the API's own origin
(fluksio/spa.py), so an instance is a single container with no proxy, DNS,
port 80 or .env: `docker compose up -d` with the new compose.yml runs it on
localhost:8080. It starts on fluksio serve (persisted secret key, first
admin printed once) and brings its own Redis when REDIS_HOST is unset.
Slimmer: python:3.13-slim, no dev group, uv once, fastapi without the cloud
CLI. Optional features are per-feature extras (mqtt, influx, email, sentry,
ml, server for all) picked with the EXTRAS build argument; numpy moved to
`ml`. ffmpeg left the image for imageio-ffmpeg via the Modules screen.
The operator stack runs the same image with app. and api. routed to it; the
nginx frontend service, the LAN nginx proxy and DOMAIN in the backend are
gone, and the MCP issuer is FRONTEND_HOST.
WebKit takes *.localhost to loopback through GLib and ignores /etc/hosts, so
the container shares Traefik's network namespace. The webkit project only
exists with PLAYWRIGHT_WEBKIT=1, so test-frontend stays Chromium only.
The suite creates and deletes flows, dashboards and users, and ran against
whatever stack was up, which is the dev instance's data. make test-stack starts
the compose project fluksio-test (compose.test.yml over the local stack's
files) with its own containers, volumes and image tags, served by the local
Traefik on app.test.localhost and api.test.localhost, and leaves it running.
The hostname is fixed, so it no longer comes off the running dev stack, and a
LAN stack makes no difference. The suite's default origin is the test stack.
`tests/utils/api.ts` took the API origin from `VITE_API_URL`, which
`tests/config.ts` loads out of `app/.env`. In a checkout configured for a
deployment that names the deployment — so the browser went to the local stack
while every setup and teardown call, `deleteAll` included, went to the live
one. `privateApi.ts` had the same reading, and it creates users.
Both origins now come from one place: `PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL`, with the API
derived from it (`app.<domain>` → `api.<domain>`) or named outright by
`PLAYWRIGHT_API_URL`, which is what CI and the compose service set. Nothing in
the suite reads `VITE_API_URL` any more.
Belt and braces, since a stack served under a real domain answers to the same
names its production instance does: a global setup resolves both origins and
refuses anything that is not loopback or a private range, before a test runs.
`PLAYWRIGHT_ALLOW_PUBLIC=1` says you meant it.
`make test-frontend` is now that safe run — the Playwright image on the proxy
network with both names mapped onto Traefik by address, as the host user so it
does not leave root-owned results behind.
The canvas lays itself out: a layered graph, left to right on a desktop and
top to bottom on a phone, with room reserved for the value each edge carries.
Nodes cannot be dragged and `NodeDef.position` is gone from the document —
a graph nobody can arrange is one worth keeping small, which is what keeps
flows atomic. Endpoints join the same layout, so their lanes and the
localStorage that remembered where they were dragged go too.
Mobile, per the new Responsive section of DESIGN-GUIDELINES.md: the dock caps
its width and wraps instead of running off the screen, the dashboard stacks
into one column rather than shrinking a wall panel to a fifth of its size, and
Home stops widening its grid track past the viewport. A Playwright project at
a phone's width fails the build when a screen no longer fits.
Along the way: publish is the checkmark that was already there rather than a
button that appears and disappears, with discard beside it on both the flow
and the dashboard; the brain reveals a neuron's name on the first tap; and the
port sparklines get room to breathe.
pytest was deleting every user on teardown against the development
database. The engine is built at import time, so tests/__init__.py pins
POSTGRES_DB before app.core.config loads; the fixture creates the schema
and drops the database again, guarded against a name that is not _test.
Playwright now defaults at the integrated stack, which is the origin the
API allows, so a bare `bunx playwright test` works without a dev server.
The four template specs that asserted copy we no longer ship are gone,
along with the helpers they were the last callers of. The admin edit
assertion was page-wide and only ever passed on a fresh database.
The browser half of M3. Flows open on a full-bleed canvas with their chrome
floating over it: flow tabs top, dock bottom, node settings in a panel on the
right that leaves the graph visible and running behind it.
- Connections are derived, not stored. A node declares the messages it reads
and publishes; every matching pair draws an edge, so two producers of one
message converge on their consumer. Dragging output to input is shorthand
for pointing that input at the producer's message, and asks before it
replaces an existing one.
- Values land on the edges as they flow, over a websocket that feeds a store
outside React, so a value arriving re-renders its own chip and nothing else.
Clicking an edge shows the last payload and when it arrived.
- Node source is edited in Monaco, loaded only when a panel opens and themed
from the design tokens.
- Edits autosave; identical documents are skipped server-side, so a quiet
canvas writes nothing.
- Validation from the API shows on the node it belongs to and is summarised in
the dock, where each entry pans to its node.
- Works on a phone: touch-connect, 44px dock targets, and the node panel
becomes a full-screen sheet.
Two new tokens (--status-success, --font-mono) are mirrored in the website repo
and recorded in DESIGN-GUIDELINES.md.
The submodule collapse was only half applied: .gitmodules was deleted but
backend/ and frontend/ were still recorded as gitlinks, so none of their
files were tracked. Replace the gitlinks with the real trees.
Also untrack .env (it carried placeholder secrets) in favour of a tracked
.env.example, drop the committed __pycache__, and narrow the blanket *.png
ignore that would have swallowed design assets.
