ChuckBuildsandClaude Opus 5 37fc1b56b5 fix(composer): coerce prefixed colour channels, non-finite numbers, marquee ids
Three more routes into the generated source, plus a fix to one of my own tests
that was checking the wrong branch.

Prefixed colour channels were interpolated raw
----------------------------------------------
Five tuples were built without coercion:

    p['fill_tuple']  = f"({el.get('r', 100)}, {el.get('g', 200)}, ...)"
    p['empty_tuple'] = f"({el.get('emptyR', 50)}, ...)"
    p['label_tuple'] = f"({el.get('labelR', 200)}, ...)"

so progress_bar, pips, sparkline and gauge took arbitrary expressions the same
way width/height did. Confirmed: every one of the five put __import__ into the
generated source. They now go through a new _rgb_tuple helper, which _rgb_expr
also delegates to.

The pre-existing colour test only covered r/g/b on a text element, which is why
the prefixed channels and these four types were never exercised.

Non-finite numbers escaped as a 500
-----------------------------------
json.loads accepts Infinity/-Infinity/NaN by default and Flask's get_json
passes them straight through, so a payload can hand _safe_int a non-finite
float. int(inf) raises OverflowError, which is neither ValueError nor
ComposerInputError, so it escaped both handlers and surfaced as a 500 with a
traceback rather than a 422. Verified end to end through Flask's parser.

Marquee ids reached the source as identifiers
---------------------------------------------
data_key is spliced UNQUOTED into variable names (_{{ data_key }}_text = ...)
and only '-' was normalised. A punctuated id landed in the generated source as
code. ast.parse caught it, so this was not exploitable, but the caller got an
opaque "Generated code has a syntax error" instead of being told the id was
unusable -- the same failure mode as the empty-block bug. Now restricted to
identifier characters and bounded to 64.

The line-anchor test was testing the wrong branch
-------------------------------------------------
test_line_branch_applies_the_anchor_offset searched the whole file for
"case 'line': {". getBoundingBox has one too and comes first, so the assertion
was reading the bounding-box branch: stripping the anchor offset from
_drawElement left all 11 checks green. Both line tests are now scoped to their
own function via tree-sitter, so they cannot be satisfied by the same branch.

Tests: 35 of the injection suite's checks fail against the reverted fixes; the
scoped line test fails when _drawElement's offset is removed. Full suite 4059
passed, the one failure being test_install_lowmem (pre-existing, awaiting #492).

LED Matrix Web Interface V3

Modern, production web interface for controlling the LED Matrix display.

Overview

This directory contains the active V3 web interface with the following features:

  • Real-time display preview via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Plugin management and configuration
  • System monitoring and logs
  • Modern, responsive UI
  • RESTful API

Running the Web Interface

Standalone (Development)

From the project root:

python3 web_interface/start.py

Or using the shell script:

./web_interface/run.sh

As a Service (Production)

The web interface can run as a systemd service that starts automatically based on the web_display_autostart configuration setting:

sudo systemctl start ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl enable ledmatrix-web  # Start on boot

Accessing the Interface

Once running, access the web interface at:

Configuration

The web interface reads configuration from:

  • config/config.json - Main configuration
  • config/config_secrets.json - API keys and secrets

API Documentation

The V3 API is mounted at /api/v3/ (app.py:144). For the complete list and request/response formats, see docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md. Quick reference for the most common endpoints:

Configuration

  • GET /api/v3/config/main - Get main configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/main - Save main configuration
  • GET /api/v3/config/secrets - Get secrets configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/raw/main - Save raw main config (Config Editor)
  • POST /api/v3/config/raw/secrets - Save raw secrets

Display & System Control

  • GET /api/v3/system/status - System status
  • POST /api/v3/system/action - Control display (action body: start_display, stop_display, restart_display_service, restart_web_service, git_pull, reboot_system, shutdown_system, enable_autostart, disable_autostart)
  • GET /api/v3/display/current - Current display frame
  • GET /api/v3/display/on-demand/status - On-demand status
  • POST /api/v3/display/on-demand/start - Trigger on-demand display
  • POST /api/v3/display/on-demand/stop - Clear on-demand

Plugins

  • GET /api/v3/plugins/installed - List installed plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=<id> - Get plugin config
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/config - Update plugin configuration
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=<id> - Get plugin schema
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/toggle - Enable/disable plugin
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/install - Install from registry
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url - Install from GitHub URL
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall - Uninstall plugin
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/update - Update plugin

Plugin Store

  • GET /api/v3/plugins/store/list - List available registry plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status - GitHub authentication status
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/store/refresh - Refresh registry from GitHub

Real-time Streams (SSE)

SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the Flask app (app.py:607-619 — includes the CSRF exemption and rate-limit hookup alongside the three route definitions), not on the api_v3 blueprint:

  • GET /api/v3/stream/stats - System statistics stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/display - Display preview stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/logs - Service logs stream

Development

When making changes to the web interface:

  1. Edit files in this directory
  2. Test changes by running python3 web_interface/start.py
  3. Restart the service if running: sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web

Notes

  • Templates and static files use the v3/ prefix to allow for future versions
  • The interface uses Flask blueprints for modular organization
  • SSE streams provide real-time updates without polling
