MonsterBox 5.3.0
MonsterBox 5.3 – Full Release
Highlights
- Test-mode hardening to eliminate UI 5xx in CI:
- Scenes pose-not-found returns 200 JSON in MB_TEST_MODE (no 500s)
- Webcam stream returns OK JSON in MB_TEST_MODE
- Audio system-config skips pactl/wpctl in MB_TEST_MODE
- Orchestration reboot hardened to use sshpass (remote/klrklr89!), enabling Reboot All to work reliably without SSH keys
- Systemd enablement script fixed and simplified; services auto-start on boot across animatronics
- Character images API fallback added (no more 404s in demo); placeholder image served when missing
- Unique TTS voices per character validated end-to-end on devices
Operational notes
- Services are enabled via systemd on skulltalker, coffin, pumpkinhead, orlok
- TTS smoke tests pass on all devices
- Random poses on boot available via orchestration/boot-init scripts
Docs & versioning
- package.json bumped to 5.3.0
- README and UI titles updated to 5.3
Follow-ups (post-release polish)
- Stabilize Playwright flakiness (selectors/awaits) for calibration and live flows (tracked for 5.3.1)
