Svestis and others added 9 commits September 28, 2026 19:54
app.conf is written by util.php saveSettings() as Python source and later
compiled/exec'd by the backend. String settings were emitted into
single-quoted Python literals with only ' encoded (as {s-quote}), so
backslashes were written raw. A regex such as 192\.0\.2\..* then produced
"SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\.'", valid Python escapes such as
\n were silently reinterpreted, and a trailing backslash made the file fail
to compile.

Move the encoder into a side-effect-free helper, app_conf_encode.php, as
encode_python_string(). It now doubles backslashes before the existing
{s-quote} replacement, so backslashes round-trip unchanged through app.conf
serialization and Python parsing, while single quotes keep using the legacy
{s-quote} placeholder. Both scalar string and array string serialization use
the helper.

Add regression tests that run the real PHP helper through the PHP CLI,
compile the generated source with warnings promoted to errors, and check
the scalar and array round trips.
Keep encode_python_string() in front/php/server/util.php, replacing
encode_single_quotes() in place, and remove the standalone
app_conf_encode.php helper file and its require.

Rework the regression test to dispatch the real util.php savesettings
path through the PHP CLI against temporary synthetic config, API and
session directories, covering both scalar string and array string
settings: the generated app.conf must compile with warnings as errors
and parse back to the typed values.

The existing {s-quote} lifecycle is preserved (single quotes are still
written as {s-quote} and converted back by the same consumers), and the
app.conf readers in initialise.py and plugin_helper.py are unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates Freebox presence processing and app configuration string escaping. It adds pending-settings indicators, changes device-table date rendering and labels, and revises development guidance, README content, and contributor information.

Changes

Freebox presence selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select and emit host entries
server/plugins/freebox/freebox.py, test/plugins/test_freebox.py
The selector returns reachable L3 entries or a fallback entry for an active host. Processing emits rows for selected entries and skips hosts without a MAC. Tests cover selection and row emission.

App configuration string escaping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Escape and verify saved strings
front/php/server/util.php, front/php/templates/security.php, test/backend/test_app_conf_string_escaping.py
Scalar and array settings use encode_python_string, which doubles backslashes and replaces apostrophes. Tests check compilation and value round trips. Configuration reads collapse doubled backslashes.

Pending settings indicators

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set and evaluate pending settings state
front/settings.php, front/js/common.js
After a successful save, the page sets a pending-reload cookie and displays the pending state. The page uses a shared timestamp check to determine whether settings are pending.
Render and clear pending indicators
front/php/templates/header.php, front/php/templates/footer.php, front/css/app.css, front/js/handle_pending_settings.js, front/js/handle_version.js, front/js/sse_manager.js, front/php/templates/language/*
The templates and scripts display and clear the settings indicator and navigation dot. The SSE state update clears the pending cookie and indicator when imported settings advance. Locale files add the new indicator keys.

Device-table date display

Layer / File(s) Summary
Render and label device dates
front/js/devices-table.js, front/php/templates/language/en_us.json
Date cells remain blank for empty values and localize non-empty values. The table labels change to “First Seen” and “Last Seen.”

Development and test workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update development and test workflows
.claude/skills/*, .gemini/skills/*, .github/skills/*, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/PLUGINS_DEV.md
Guidance adds test-first checks, code-reuse searches, stateful-UI planning, PHP/Python boundaries, and realistic-input simulations. Plugin guidance recommends tests for changed plugin logic.
Revise README guidance and sections
README.md
The Quick Start warning points older installations to the migration guide. Several headings lose emojis, and the donations content is removed.

Loading

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 61e6d

The settings page can proceed without its loading state while the backend is importing configuration. This is a bounded UI issue; the change is otherwise mergeable with a small follow-up.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 61e6d

The inspected change adds settings-status feedback without establishing a new privilege or access-control bypass. Confirmation uses shared timestamps rather than identifying individual saves, so concurrent-save and recovery guarantees remain limited. Deployment protection and broader security coverage are not fully established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The added operations affect pending feedback in browser tabs sharing the cookie scope. They do not themselves write backend configuration or grant additional authority; the inspected change does not establish expanded service or data-store exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — SSE retains token authorization before streaming state. Polling retains configuration-dependent PHP authentication. The new cleanup branch adds no remote input or privileged server operation; actual deployment protection settings remain unknown.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Recovery relies on SSE retries, bounded event replay, and polling fallback rather than durable per-save acknowledgement. These existing mechanisms provide recovery paths but do not establish guaranteed pending-status reconciliation after prolonged interruption. This is a coverage limitation, not a demonstrated new security failure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If applied-status feedback must confirm security-sensitive configuration changes, correlate acknowledgement with a configuration revision and reconcile against current authoritative state after reconnect. This would strengthen confirmation beyond the existing global timestamp comparison.

Review comments at @.claude/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md:
- Line 29: Update the pre-fix test guidance in
`.claude/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md` at line 29 and mirror the same change in
`.gemini/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md` at line 29 and
`.github/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md` at line 29: require a behavioral assertion
failure for regressions against existing behavior, while allowing the expected
missing-interface failure when testing a new contract.

Review comments at @front/js/devices-table.js:
- Line 505: Add a JSDoc block directly above the modified createdCell callback
in the Dates column group, documenting that it renders empty timestamps as blank
cells and non-empty timestamps as localized text.

Review comments at @front/php/templates/language/en_us.json:
- Line 243: The diff only shows the Device_TableHead_FirstSession entry, and the
comment provides no actionable code issue for that change; make no additional
changes based on it.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 43: Update the Migration guide link in the README’s Important notice to
point to the guide’s scenario list rather than directly to section 1.2, so users
can select instructions for their installed version.

Review comments at @server/plugins/freebox/freebox.py:
- Around line 90-98: Update the selector’s docstring to concisely describe its
current selection rule rather than its change rationale, including the
inactive-host and active-host-with-no-reachable-address outcomes.
- Around line 114-115: Update the fallback in the L3 selection flow to prefer
the first entry marked active when no L3 address is reachable. Preserve the
current behavior of returning the first entry when none are active; locate this
logic by the `l3` check and `l3[0]` return.
- Line 116: Update select_l3_entries_for_presence and its use in main so hosts
without L3 entries still produce a presence row, but do not write a placeholder
address to secondaryId or convert a null timestamp to Unix time zero; leave the
mapped scanLastIP and scanLastConnection fields empty.

Run the translation merge and include its generated locale updates.

This instruction applies because the PR changes two existing keys in en_us.json. The locale files already contain all 853 English keys, so no missing locale keys or translations are involved. However, the merge script sorts and rewrites locale files, and its output differs for ca_ca.json, de_de.json, es_es.json, fr_fr.json, and it_it.json. Include those generated changes.
