Summary

Refs #2680. Upstream #2599 (merged while this branch was open) fixed the reported class at its root — packaged builds now serve the web UI to LAN devices via OMNIVOICE_FRONTEND_DIST, redirect to the dev UI only for loopback browsers, and answer everyone else with a 503 explanation. This branch absorbs that and keeps the two residual defects #2599 left in the no-UI fallback:

  1. The local dev-UI bounce dropped ?pin=, signing the browser out of the share it just opened.
  2. A request already aimed at the UI port bounced onto itself forever — the defaults put the share listener there (share base = backend + 1 = UI port).

Changes

  • _no_web_ui (backend/main.py): appends the request query to the dev-UI redirect target, and answers terminally (the 503 explanation) when the request port already equals the UI port instead of redirecting to self.
  • Two route tests in tests/test_packaged_lan_frontend.py (PIN preserved; no self-loop). Both fail on current upstream.
  • One CHANGELOG line; also dropped 10 lines the upstream merge had duplicated from the released 0.5.7 section.

Tests

  • tests/test_packaged_lan_frontend.py + tests/test_spa_inject.py + tests/test_changelog_style.py + tests/test_router_smoke.py: 61 passed.

Review notes (bots, second round)

  • Greptile P1 / CodeRabbit Major (redirect-to-self loop): fixed as suggested in spirit — redirecting onto the share listener itself can no longer happen; the terminal answer is the existing 503 explanation rather than a new UI proxy, because with no built UI and no dev server there is no UI endpoint to proxy to. Binding Vite to LAN while sharing is out of scope: vite.web.config.ts pins server.host: 'localhost' and production installs have no Vite at all.
  • CodeRabbit test-scope note: kept module scope — it mirrors tests/test_router_smoke.py, tests/test_api_route_inventory.py and others, and these tests are read-only GETs sharing no mutable state. No repo rule requires function scope (checked AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/docs).
  • CodeRabbit skip-on-non-307 note: applied — the helper now skips only on a served SPA (200 + HTML) and asserts 307 otherwise, so unexpected statuses fail loudly.

The no-UI fallback now preserves ?pin= on local dev-UI redirects and returns 503 when a request already targets the UI port. This prevents PIN loss and a self-redirect loop while keeping the existing explanation for unavailable web UI. The supplied evidence does not include test execution results.

…ebpalash#2680)

When no built SPA is present, GET / bounces to the UI dev server with a
hardcoded absolute localhost URL. The LAN share listener serves that same
route table on 0.0.0.0, so a remote client opening a share link was bounced
at its own loopback: http://localhost:3901/ plus ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on
their machine, while Tailscale (which proxies the API port) kept working.

_dev_fallback now preserves the request host and query string, via a pure
dev_fallback_url() helper in core/spa_inject.py next to frontend_dist_dir().
Loopback behavior is byte-identical; a LAN client lands on its own host with
?pin= intact for the PIN gate.

Regression tests fail before the change; the reporter's exact symptom
(redirect target host) is asserted.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The missing-web-UI fallback preserves the request query string when redirecting to the development UI. It returns 503 instead of redirecting when the request already uses the configured UI port. Tests cover both cases.

Make the no-build LAN fallback target a LAN-reachable UI.

A LAN request can be redirected to http://<request-host>:_ui_port(), but the Vite server binds that port to localhost; remote clients can still receive ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Bind Vite to an appropriate LAN interface only while sharing is enabled, or proxy the dev SPA through the 0.0.0.0 share listener and use that reachable endpoint.

Do not skip an unexpected fallback response. If / returns a non-307 response, _location skips the integration test instead of reporting a failed redirect. Skip only when the built SPA is known to be present; otherwise assert the 307 status. As per path instructions, “the test would fail before the fix and pass after.”

Summary

The no-UI fallback preserves the request query on local redirects and returns 503 when the request already targets the UI port.

  • The earlier self-redirect finding is addressed.
  • No new merge-blocking findings were identified.

debpalash#2680)

Review follow-up on debpalash#2682 (Greptile P1 + CodeRabbit Major): preserving the
host is not enough. With default ports the share listener sits on the UI
port, so a preserved-host redirect points at the share listener itself —
an infinite redirect loop; and a remote client has no UI dev server to
reach at all.

dev_fallback_url() now returns None for a non-loopback client or a request
already aimed at the UI port, and _dev_fallback answers those with a 404
naming the absent frontend/dist instead of redirecting. Only a loopback
client aimed elsewhere still gets the dev-server bounce, so the dev flow
is unchanged and a redirect can never point at its own route.
… guard (debpalash#2680)

Upstream debpalash#2599 (merged while this branch was open) fixed the reported
class at its root: packaged builds now serve the web UI to LAN devices via
OMNIVOICE_FRONTEND_DIST, redirect to the dev UI only for loopback
browsers, and answer everyone else with a 503 explanation. Absorb that and
keep the two residual defects it left:

- the local dev-UI bounce dropped ?pin=, signing the browser out of the
  share it just opened;
- a request already aimed at the UI port (the defaults put the share
  listener there) bounced onto itself forever.

Both covered by route tests that fail on upstream. Also drop 10 CHANGELOG
lines the merge duplicated from the released 0.5.7 section.

Rebased onto upstream #2599 (absorbed — it fixed the reported class at its root) and rescoped this PR to the two residual defects, per the review threads:

  • Greptile P1 / CodeRabbit Major (self-loop): fixed. A request already aimed at the UI port now gets the terminal 503 explanation instead of a bounce onto itself — which is also what the share listener serves with default ports. I did not add a UI proxy: with no built UI and no dev server there is no reachable UI endpoint to proxy to, so the honest answer is the existing explanation page. Vite stays loopback-bound per vite.web.config.ts.
  • Query dropped: fixed — ?pin= now survives the local dev-UI bounce (was silently signing the browser out of the share).
  • Fixture scope: kept module scope (mirrors test_router_smoke.py et al.; read-only tests, no shared mutable state; no such repo rule found).
  • Skip-on-non-307: applied as suggested — skips only when a real SPA is served, asserts 307 otherwise.

Route tests for both fail on current upstream; 61 tests green across the touched suites.
