Removes 26 console.log calls, including contacts.html dumping whole data
structures and sample contact records on every render. Variables and
callback parameters that existed only to feed those logs go with them
(deviceTypes, anyNewDevices, an availableEdges debug block, and a
realtime status handler whose body was nothing but a log), so no new
no-unused-vars warnings are introduced — the count drops 60 to 59.
console.warn and console.error are kept. One console.log survives in
realtime.html: the decoder key-count line is a one-time startup message
with real diagnostic value, and removing it would mean deleting two
counters and their increments inside a loop.
Also normalizes the mesh page's user-visible "Neighbours" strings to
match the project's American spelling. The option value stays
"neighbors", so evidence-mode filtering is untouched.
- Added a function to strip ANSI color codes from log lines for better display in SocketIO web clients, improving log readability.
- Implemented dark mode styles for dropdown menus and other UI components to enhance user experience in dark theme.
- Updated the contacts template to include a new overflow menu for additional actions, improving accessibility and usability.
- Enhanced the login page with a more visually appealing layout and improved theme handling to prevent flash of unstyled content.
- Refined log level toggles in the logs template for better user interaction and visibility of log levels.
These changes improve the overall functionality and aesthetics of the web viewer.
- Added new CSS styles for live message metadata badges and layout adjustments for better visual organization.
- Reorganized the HTML structure of the real-time message and packet stream sections for improved responsiveness and clarity.
- Updated JavaScript functions to support new channel key normalization and hashing for enhanced message handling.
- Modified test cases to reflect changes in message entry templates and ensure proper functionality of new features.
Auth (BUG-001):
- Optional password via web_viewer_password in [Web_Viewer]; /login and
/logout; Flask session guard on all routes and SocketIO handlers
Contact management and export:
- Star contacts of any type; purge-preview + purge inactive contacts
- GET /api/export/contacts and /api/export/paths: CSV/JSON with time-range
Config tab and maintenance:
- /config page: SMTP, log rotation, DB backup settings in bot_metadata
- Nightly email digest (uptime, contacts, DB size, log errors); SMTP
timeout=30s; pre-rotation log attachment hook
- GET /api/maintenance/status: Maintenance Status card
DB backup, restore, and purge:
- POST /api/maintenance/backup_now; GET /api/maintenance/list_backups;
POST /api/maintenance/restore (SQLite magic-byte validation)
- POST /api/maintenance/purge: remove rows older than threshold
- Scheduled backups: daily/weekly/manual with retention pruning
- Config save validates db_backup_dir exists; 400 on missing path
Live streaming and realtime monitoring:
- Live Activity panel: colour-coded SocketIO feed with pause/clear
- capture_channel_message() feeds packet_stream; message_data event
- /realtime page: three independent stream panels; [#channel] prefix
- /logs page: subscribe_logs/log_line; log-tail thread; level colouring
- History replay: last 50/50/200 items on connect
- Werkzeug 3.1 WebSocket fix: _apply_werkzeug_websocket_fix()
- BUG-029: db_path resolved via config_base = Path(config_path).parent;
stored as self._config_base; dead _get_db_path() removed
Scroll/filter controls and connected agents:
- Scroll-to-top/bottom on Live Activity and all realtime panels
- Type-filter checkboxes (Packets/Commands/Messages) with applyFilters()
- GET /api/connected_clients: agent count clickable; Bootstrap modal
- Shortened the title in the mesh graph visualization from "Mesh Graph Visualization" to "Mesh Graph" for conciseness.
- Removed the subtitle from the real-time monitoring header to streamline the display.
- Updated `send_dm` and `send_channel_message` methods to include an optional `command_id` for tracking message repeats.
- Integrated transmission tracking to record and manage repeat messages, improving message handling and response accuracy.
- Enhanced `capture_command` method in `BotIntegration` to store repeat information for better analysis in the web viewer.
- Added favicon support and improved web viewer templates to display repeat information effectively.
- Implemented JavaScript updates in the web viewer to handle command updates and display repeat counts dynamically.
- Implemented comprehensive light mode styles for various components in the web viewer, including modals, segment cards, and tables.
- Enhanced visual consistency by applying theme-based background and text colors across different UI elements.
- Updated styles for header and message content to ensure readability and aesthetic appeal in light mode.
- Updated `config.ini.example` to include a new option for additional hashtag channels to decode in the packet stream.
- Modified `BotDataViewer` to retrieve and display additional decode-only channels from the configuration.
- Improved packet handling in `message_handler.py` to capture full packet data for web viewer integration.
- Enhanced the web viewer's JavaScript to support detailed packet analysis and display, including color-coded hex breakdowns and improved user interface elements.
- Added new styles and scripts to the web viewer templates for better visual representation of packet data and improved user experience.
- Add Flask + Flask-SocketIO web viewer with dashboard (modules/web_viewer/app.py and related)
- Add web viewer templates: index, realtime, tracking (contacts), cache, purging, stats (modules/web_viewer/templates/)
- Add integration hooks and utility functions for web viewer (modules/web_viewer/integration.py, modules/utils.py)
- Add command to launch web viewer from bot CLI (modules/commands/webviewer_command.py)
- Update .gitignore: ignore db/log files, test scripts, and web viewer artifacts
- Add restart_viewer.sh helper script for standalone web viewer restart/troubleshooting
- Add guidance and documentation for modern viewer in WEB_VIEWER.md and docs/
- Various code structure and import improvements to core bot and command modules to support integration
- Add ACL support for sensitive commands
- Example config updates
Benefits:
- Decouples monitoring/UI from bot core process
- Enables real-time browser dashboard and unified contact/repeater tracking
- Easier integration, dev, and troubleshooting
