egocap: add station settings, task catalogs and camera roles - #1463
Add station settings, task-catalog management, camera-role assignments and a protected deployment view directly on main. Settings persist in a hidden configuration directory, and the recording task editor offers the selected catalog while preserving task details.
Opening Settings suspends recording keyboard and voice commands. Settings/catalog writes are serialized and atomic, corrupt settings can be repaired, and the selected catalog cannot be removed or replaced underneath the task picker. Catalog import uses browser uploads.
This settings PR is based directly on main. Role assignments use main's current CaptureServer cameras. LiveKit-specific role wiring, credential display and tile statistics remain separate from this PR because their implementation branches have not merged. Calibration tools remain disabled stubs.
Review fixes in 31e95fce313b454f7eec24247634fd3204509e03 bound mutation request bodies before JSON parsing, authenticate browser writes with a header, keep exception details in server logs, move/contain/restore modal focus, remove an assert side effect and document the new frontend functions. Regression tests cover the security and accessibility behavior.
Validation on this head (GitHub CI is pending):
Backend: 445 passed.
Frontend: 303 passed; type checking and production build passed.
CaptureServer: 679 passed.
Full repository pre-commit hooks passed with SKIP=check-copyright-year.
Recording: 433 passed, 3 skipped, 1 unchanged encoder shutdown test failed locally (SIGTERM exit where SIGKILL is asserted); 100% branch coverage.
Recording service: 47 passed, 100 skipped, 47 teardown errors from the unchanged Linux /proc leak-check fixture on macOS. Real-episode acceptance remains unverified.
Merge gate: awaiting Shawn's personal testing and explicit merge approval. Do not merge or enable auto-merge before that approval. No new hardware/Orin calibration or JetPack build was run.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a Settings panel for station setup, task catalogs, tools, display preferences, and deployment details.
Operators can configure camera roles, import and remove task catalogs, and select tasks for recording.
Camera grids use configured roles to choose and label the primary camera.
Added a read-only view of effective settings, with sensitive values redacted.
Bug Fixes
Recording shortcuts and voice commands are blocked while Settings is open, preventing unintended recording actions.

Walkthrough
This PR adds backend APIs for effective settings, persistent operator settings, and imported task catalogs. It adds a tabbed frontend settings modal for station setup, task catalogs, tools, display controls, and deployment settings. Camera-role assignments affect camera-tile selection and labels. The recording task editor can load, select, and prefill tasks from a catalog. Recording keyboard and voice interactions are blocked while the settings modal is open. Tests and documentation cover these changes.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 98d52
The change looks mergeable with follow-up. Before exposing the backend beyond a trusted network, cap request-body sizes on the settings and catalog write endpoints, and add focus management to the Settings dialog for keyboard and screen-reader users. The PR description also asks that merge wait for personal testing and explicit approval.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 98d52
The new APIs share the recording-control process. Writes require the recording token and use guarded file updates, but JSON bodies are parsed before authentication or an ingress size limit. Callers able to reach the service can therefore pressure resources used by recording controls. Production network exposure and upstream request limits are not established.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · observed: New catalog-import and settings-write endpoints materialize JSON bodies before validating the recording token, without an application-level ingress bound on those paths. The catalog size check occurs afterward. This introduces an unauthenticated resource-consumption path into the process serving recording controls; effective remote exposure depends on deployment configuration.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated resource-exhaustion path requires service reachability but no recording credential. Its independently attackable scope is the reachable backend process, including recording-control responsiveness and connected viewers sharing that process; fleet-wide or cross-tenant propagation is not established.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
observed — The retained import finding is supported by full-body JSON parsing before token validation. The new settings PUT follows the same order. The catalog's 2 MiB parser limit and worker-thread filesystem execution do not bound this earlier receive/decode step. The existing recording channel checks message size before JSON decoding, so it is not an equivalent counterexample.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The existing per-run recording credential now also authorizes preference writes, catalog import/removal, and effective-settings inspection. Its comparison semantics remain unchanged: malformed candidates are rejected before timing-safe comparison. Catalog mutations constrain names to eligible top-level CSV files rather than accepting browser-selected server paths.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — The shared lock and whole-worker transaction preserve selected-catalog checks through same-process concurrent operations and request cancellation. Atomic replacement prevents ordinary readers from observing partially written files. These controls do not establish cross-process serialization or directory-entry durability across power loss.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Authenticate write requests through a header before consuming their bodies, and enforce a bounded HTTP body receive before JSON decoding, including chunked requests. Keep the catalog parser limit as a separate storage control and document any complementary proxy limits.

🤖 Automated first-pass review (Claude, for Dejun) — I'll follow up personally where needed.
Summary — This PR adds an operator Settings dialog to egocap: camera type, camera roles, picking, importing and removing task catalogs, a read-only deployment view and a tools registry. It also adds a catalog picker in the task editor and role badges plus measured fps/latency on LiveKit tiles. A separate commit makes the Argus-only sensing build work on JetPack 6.2. The new endpoints are token-gated and have good tests. Three things block it: the branch carries stale copies of the stack and conflicts with its own base, the recording shortcuts stay live under the dialog, and home-directory paths have landed in public code.
Must fix
Branch content. 63 of the 65 commits are stack commits that gmorgan/Argus no longer contains; the base has moved 48 commits since the merge-base. So the diff is 118 files and +16k lines, most of it not yours. A merge would re-apply what are very likely superseded versions of that stack, and the local 3-way merge already conflicts in 15 files. Rebase so that only b30cb62bb and 944697a06 remain, then split them, since they are unrelated:
the JetPack 6.2 build fix goes onto gmorgan/Argus (#1429);
the egocap settings go onto the branch that carries the egocap LiveKit work they build on (#1426/#1459).
RecordingPanel.tsx:558 — the Settings dialog is aria-modal (SettingsPanel.tsx:737), but this window-level s/w/a/r/t listener still fires while it is open, because focusOwnedByInput() only skips INPUT/TEXTAREA/SELECT. Say the operator clicks a tab, Save, Remove or Close (Chrome keeps focus on a clicked button), or clicks plain text. Pressing a then discards the running take with no confirmation (line 282), w stops it and s starts one, all hidden behind the dialog; Space also toggles voice. Gate both listeners on the dialog: either pass its open state down, or treat focus inside [aria-modal="true"] as owned. Add a test for it.
Internal names (hostnames, paths, internal-forge remnants). The whole repository is public. All six HARD hits are home-directory paths added by this PR:
examples/egocap/frontend/src/SettingsPanel.tsx:472 — home-directory path in the import field's placeholder, which ships in the UI — added here — use a bare file name or a tilde-relative example (the backend already expands ~).
The SOFT hits are private-range IPs on five test lines, two of them yours. They are generic remote-host fixtures and can stay.
Suggestions
SettingsPanel.tsx:365 — removing the imported catalog that the editor uses clears task_file only in the dialog's own state. The DELETE route (task_file_routes.py:151) never touches the operator settings. As a result, the dialog shows the catalog as chosen again on the next open, and the editor either silently falls back to free text or offers the shipped catalog the import was shadowing. Clear task_file and preselected_task on the server and test that; the test's fake backend currently hides the problem.
CameraGrid.tsx:208 — when an ego camera is assigned, the grid keeps the name-based equal-heads layout (line 216). Only the ego tile then spans the rows, so the other head tile is likely auto-placed into a single cell. The ego camera also gets no more room than the dialog's "main tile" wording promises. No CameraGrid test passes cameraRoles.
settings_routes.py:76 — GET /api/settings has no token or origin check, yet it returns the station-file path, data dir, recording root, catalog dir, head-model path and operator name. app.py:348 deliberately keeps the station path backend-only. Report whether each value is set instead of the path, or gate the route the way the writes are gated.
task_file_routes.py:112 — the path import opens and reads any path before is_catalog_name runs. Check the name and is_file() first; a FIFO, for example, would park a worker thread. The upload option covers the same need, so consider dropping path import. Also, "on this machine" in the UI actually means the backend's machine.
app.py:390 — operator settings and imported catalogs default to the recording output root. They therefore show up in the recordings browser and travel with session data. A dot-prefixed subdirectory (already hidden by recordings._hidden) or a separate config location would keep them apart.
Comments and docs that no longer match the code:
settingsApi.ts:10 says nothing here is written back, but PUT/POST/DELETE calls now live in this file.
operator_settings.py:231 — PUT does load, update, save with no lock and a fixed .tmp file name. Two concurrent saves can drop one change or fail in os.replace. An asyncio.Lock around the whole sequence fixes both.
The description is the empty template and the title is the branch name. Please say what each commit does and how the JetPack 6.2 build and the UI were tested. Nit: test_operator_settings.py:191 overrides the file location, so it does not actually test "beside its recordings".
Conflicts
With gmorgan/Argus: the branch is 48 commits behind, and the local 3-way merge conflicts in 15 files: examples/egocap/frontend/src/RecordingPanel.tsx (1 hunk) and 14 sensing files (for example argus_capture.cpp with 18 hunks and app/main.cpp with 6). A rebase is needed (see must-fix 1). After it, only RecordingPanel.tsx and the files the JetPack commit touches should still need resolving.
With open PRs (all by gareth-morgan-nv):
#1437 (same base) has textual conflicts with this PR in 13 sensing files, nearly all from the stale copy. Whichever of the two lands second rebases.
#1459 adds latency and fps to the same LiveKit tiles. That duplicates your liveKitFrameStats.ts, LiveKitCameraTile.tsx and captureProtocol.ts fps work, so agree on one implementation before either merges.
#1426 and #1457 share app.py, CameraGrid.tsx and LiveKitCameraTile.tsx. They sit on other bases, so conflicts were not computed; expect conflicts in the app.py lifespan.
The rest (#1461, #1429, #1428, #1443, #998, #1078, #1440 and eight plugin PRs that share only the top-level CMake files) overlap only through the stale stack copy.

Add protected deployment inspection, persistent operator setup and browser-uploaded task catalogs directly on main. Suspend recording keyboard and voice commands while Settings is open, serialize catalog/settings mutations, and keep configuration hidden from recording downloads. Use main’s available capture cameras for role assignments; LiveKit integration remains with its separate unmerged work.

Add the required docstrings to the named functions.
Many named functions and components in this file have no docstring. Examples are errorMessage, onOff, list, Row, TokenHint, StationTab, CameraTypeChoice, TasksTab, CatalogList, ImportCatalog, PreselectedTask, ToolsTab, DisplayTab, AdvancedTab and LoadState. settingsApi.ts has the same gap in failureOf, parseOperatorSettings, parseListing and the fetch*/save*/import*/remove* functions. The same gap exists in useOperatorSettings (useOperatorSettings.ts). This is production code, so the repository rule applies.
As per coding guidelines: "Every named function, method, class, and public property needs a docstring describing its purpose. No exceptions in production code."

@NVshawnhwang two minor observations from a read-through of the backend changes in this PR (backend routes and persistence only; I did not run the tests or review SettingsPanel.tsx closely). Neither is serious, and there is no need to open a second PR to fix them. They are noted for awareness and can be folded into any later change that touches these files.
Unauthenticated callers can make the server read a large body before the token check. In read_authorized_json (backend/egocap_web/request_body.py), a request without the X-Control-Token header is read to the end (bounded by max_bytes) and only then checked against the legacy control_token body field. For catalog import that bound is 6 * MAX_FILE_BYTES + 1024, about 12 MiB per request. It is bounded and the backend is meant for a trusted network, so the exposure is small. Requiring the header for writes, and keeping the body token only if older clients need it, would reject these before reading the body.
GET /api/operator-settings needs no token.read_operator_settings (backend/egocap_web/operator_settings.py) returns the saved camera type, camera roles, selected catalog and preselected task to any caller, while GET /api/settings (paths, operator identity, origin policy) is behind the control token. The saved values contain no secrets or paths, so this is consistent with the unauthenticated catalog listing. If the intent is to keep operator configuration behind the credential as well, gate it the same way.
