enricobuehler 1e2b956de6 fix(web,tray,host): review follow-ups — pair the halves, and stop two comments overclaiming
Review of the parent commit. One real defect, the rest accuracy.

The resolver could hand back a MISMATCHED pair, which is the one invariant its
own header promised it never would: `nativeCert` came from `dirname(cert)` and
`nativeKey` from `dirname(key)`, two independent directories, so
("/a/cert.pem", "/b/key.pem") resolved to /a/native-cert.pem + /b/native-key.pem
— two unrelated files presented as a pair. No shipped launcher splits them, but
the guard is one comparison and it is the whole point of the module.

Rewritten off a suffix test instead of `node:path`, which fixes two more things
in passing. `node:path` resolves per-RUNTIME, so a POSIX CI runner reads
`C:\ProgramData\punktfunk\cert.pem` as one long filename and never swaps — and
Windows, where windows/service.rs hands us exactly that, is the platform the CI
job can never exercise. The suffix test gives the same answer everywhere and is
now covered by a win32 case. It also leaves the prefix VERBATIM, where
`join(dirname(p), …)` normalised /a/b/../cert.pem into a different directory the
moment `b` was a symlink.

Existence is no longer enough: `pf_paths::write_secret_file` is
create+truncate+write rather than temp+rename, so a console starting mid-write
could adopt a 0-byte cert and leave `Bun.serve` throwing on every restart. Not
every launcher retries forever — the Steam Deck unit is `Restart=on-failure`
under the default rate limit, i.e. permanently dead. The check is now a
non-empty stat, mirroring the host's own `!c.trim().is_empty()`. Verified: with
native-cert.pem truncated to 0 bytes the console starts and serves the legacy
pair.

Two comments of mine overclaimed and are corrected rather than left to mislead:

  * serve() said "cert.pem existing implies the native pair does too". False on
    an upgraded host whose native clients pinned the legacy cert — load_or_adopt
    returns it and writes no native files at all. The ordering claim that IS
    true is narrower: whenever that call writes a native pair, it does so before
    cert.pem appears.
  * the tray said the console entry "always opens the same URL regardless of the
    probe". True of the menu entry, but win.rs gates the tray-icon single-click
    on console_up. Also notes that the Windows probe was never pinned to begin
    with (punktfunk_config_dir is None off Linux), so that half is a no-op.

Rest is doc drift the parent commit annotated in two launchers but not the other
four: web.env.example, README, web-run.cmd, and the ci.yml comment that still
said the web test step was "Scoped to server/".

18/18 web tests (was 14), biome and rustfmt clean, and the runtime check re-run
against a fresh build: both pairs -> P-256 with SANs; 0-byte native cert ->
legacy RSA, console still serving.

punktfunk web — management console

The browser UI for the punktfunk host's management REST API (crates/punktfunk-host/src/mgmt.rs, OpenAPI at api/openapi.json). It shows live status, host capabilities, paired clients, the pairing-PIN flow, and session controls.

Stack: TanStack Start (full SSR) on Bun via Nitro v2 (bun preset) · React Query through orval codegen from the OpenAPI spec · @unom/ui — the shared punktfunk/unom design system the marketing site + docs are built on (Tailwind v4, animated components on the violet brand over dark chrome) · Paraglide i18n (en/de). Package manager + runtime: Bun.

The @unom registry mapping lives in .npmrc; the auth token comes from ~/.npmrc (or a CI secret).

Develop

# from web/  — Bun is the toolchain (https://bun.sh)
bun install               # runs `prepare` → codegen (orval + paraglide)
bun run dev               # http://localhost:47992

# The dev server proxies /api → https://127.0.0.1:47990 (the host's mgmt API; it serves HTTPS
# with the host's self-signed identity cert — the dev proxy uses `secure: false`).
# Point it elsewhere: PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_URL=https://<host>:47990 bun run dev

Start a host with the management API up:

# from the repo root — `serve` brings up the native punktfunk/1 plane + the mgmt API (the console
# only needs the mgmt API; add --gamestream too if you also want the Moonlight surface):
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-kde XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE \
  cargo run -rp punktfunk-host -- serve
# loopback :47990, no token (a token is mandatory for non-loopback binds).

The management token is server-side only — set PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKEN in the console's environment and the BFF injects it when proxying (server/routes/api/[...].ts). It never reaches the browser, so there is no token field in the UI; the browser only ever holds the session cookie.

Build & run (Nitro + Bun)

The console runs on bun (Bun.serve is a Bun API — node can't run it): Nitro's bun preset plus a custom entry (nitro-entry/bun-https.mjs) that calls Bun.serve({ tls }), so it serves HTTPS (HTTP/1.1 over TLS) with the host's own identity cert (the cert native clients already pin). One trust anchor across the data plane, the mgmt API, and this console. (No HTTP/2 — Bun.serve has no h2 server — and no HTTP/3, which a browser won't speak against this self-signed, no-SAN host cert; a browser-trusted, SAN-matching cert + a fronting server would be needed, out of scope for a LAN console.)

bun run build             # → .output/  (Nitro `bun` preset + our Bun.serve TLS entry)
PORT=47992 HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  PUNKTFUNK_UI_PASSWORD=PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKEN=\
  PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_URL=https://127.0.0.1:47990 \
  PUNKTFUNK_UI_TLS_CERT=~/.config/punktfunk/cert.pem \
  PUNKTFUNK_UI_TLS_KEY=~/.config/punktfunk/key.pem PUNKTFUNK_UI_SECURE=1 \
  bun run start           # = bun run .output/server/index.mjs
# PUNKTFUNK_UI_TLS_* unset ⇒ plain HTTP (local dev); both set ⇒ HTTPS (HTTP/1.1 over TLS).
# Naming cert.pem/key.pem serves native-cert.pem/native-key.pem instead when both sit beside them
# (the identity split — nitro-entry/tls-paths.mjs); the legacy pair is the fallback, not the target.
# The host's self-signed mgmt cert is accepted only for the proxy's loopback hop, scoped in code
# (Bun per-request TLS: server/routes/api/[...].ts) — no process-wide NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED.
# See .env.example.
bun run lint              # tsc --noEmit

The built Nitro bun server SSR-renders the app and is the only thing exposed on the LAN. Run it on the same box as the host; it serves the console over HTTPS on :47992 (or $PORT).

Auth (backend-for-frontend)

Single-user, login-gated. Config via env (see .env.example):

  • The console requires a login (PUNKTFUNK_UI_PASSWORD). On success the server sets a sealed session cookie (h3 useSession, AES-GCM). server/middleware/auth.ts gates every request — pages redirect to /login, /api returns 401 — and fails closed (503) if PUNKTFUNK_UI_PASSWORD is unset, so a misconfigured LAN server admits no one.
  • The bearer-token admin surface of the management API is loopback-only — the host honors a bearer token only from a loopback peer, so the admin API is never LAN-exposed. The web server holds PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKEN server-side and injects it when proxying /api/**PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_URL (loopback; server/routes/api/[...].ts). The token never reaches the browser; the browser only ever holds the session cookie. (The host also binds the read-only surface — host status + the game library — to the LAN so paired native clients can fetch it directly over mTLS; that path uses client certs, not the token, and never touches this console.)

So: browser ──password──▶ web server (session cookie) ──mgmt token, server-side──▶ mgmt API. Run the host with a matching token: cargo run -rp punktfunk-host -- serve + PUNKTFUNK_MGMT_TOKEN=… (or --mgmt-token …). vite dev has no gate (localhost-only) and proxies straight to the loopback mgmt API.

Toolchain notes (load-bearing): TanStack Start's start-plugin-core peer-requires Vite ≥ 7 — on Vite 6 the build's prerender/post-build hook silently doesn't run. @vitejs/plugin-react must match Vite (v5 ↔ Vite 7, v6 ↔ Vite 8); it's required even for dev (TanStack Start's dev mode needs the React Refresh runtime, else a blank screen). Nitro is the server target — without it vite build only emits client+SSR bundles, no deployable server. The Nitro bun preset makes .output/server/index.mjs Bun-runnable.

Codegen

Generated code is not committed (gitignored) — reproduced from sources:

  • bun run codegen — regenerate the API client (orval) + i18n runtime (paraglide). Runs on bun install (prepare) and before dev/build (pre* for orval; the Vite plugin compiles paraglide on dev/build).
  • After a management-API change, regenerate the spec on the Rust side first: cargo run -p punktfunk-host -- openapi > api/openapi.json, then bun run api:gen.
