Chuck 885fdeed62 feat(starlark): schema-driven config forms + critical security fixes
## Schema-Driven Config UI
- Render type-appropriate form inputs from schema.json (text, dropdown, toggle, color, datetime, location)
- Pre-populate config.json with schema defaults on install
- Auto-merge schema defaults when loading existing apps (handles schema updates)
- Location fields: 3-part mini-form (lat/lng/timezone) assembles into JSON
- Toggle fields: support both boolean and string "true"/"false" values
- Unsupported field types (oauth2, photo_select) show warning banners
- Fallback to raw key/value inputs for apps without schema

## Critical Security Fixes (P0)
- **Path Traversal**: Verify path safety BEFORE mkdir to prevent TOCTOU
- **Race Conditions**: Add file locking (fcntl) + atomic writes to manifest operations
- **Command Injection**: Validate config keys/values with regex before passing to Pixlet subprocess

## Major Logic Fixes (P1)
- **Config/Manifest Separation**: Store timing keys (render_interval, display_duration) ONLY in manifest
- **Location Validation**: Validate lat [-90,90] and lng [-180,180] ranges, reject malformed JSON
- **Schema Defaults Merge**: Auto-apply new schema defaults to existing app configs on load
- **Config Key Validation**: Enforce alphanumeric+underscore format, prevent prototype pollution

## Files Changed
- web_interface/templates/v3/partials/starlark_config.html — schema-driven form rendering
- plugin-repos/starlark-apps/manager.py — file locking, path safety, config validation, schema merge
- plugin-repos/starlark-apps/pixlet_renderer.py — config value sanitization
- web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py — timing key separation, safe manifest updates

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/secrets.json - API keys and secrets

API Documentation

The V3 API is available at /api/v3/ with the following 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/secrets - Save secrets configuration

Display Control

  • POST /api/v3/display/start - Start display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/stop - Stop display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/restart - Restart display service
  • GET /api/v3/display/status - Get display service status

Plugins

  • GET /api/v3/plugins - List installed plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> - Get plugin details
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config - Update plugin configuration
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable - Enable plugin
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/disable - Disable plugin

Plugin Store

  • GET /api/v3/store/plugins - List available plugins
  • POST /api/v3/store/install/<id> - Install plugin
  • POST /api/v3/store/uninstall/<id> - Uninstall plugin
  • POST /api/v3/store/update/<id> - Update plugin

Real-time Streams (SSE)

  • 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
