feat: expose app config and render fields via the installations API - #886
Conversation
Follows tronbyt#783, which brought the schedule fields across from the web UI. The same gap remained for everything else the app config page writes: config itself, autoPin, colorFilter and showFullAnimation were reachable only through a session, so an API-driven setup could install and schedule an app but never configure it. PATCH /v0/devices/{id}/installations/{iname} gains all four. autoPin, colorFilter and showFullAnimation are added to the GET payload too, so a client can diff current state before writing. config is write-only. It holds whatever the app's schema defines, which for many apps means API keys and OAuth tokens, and a device API key is a lower bar than a logged-in session — so it can be set but is never read back. It replaces the whole map, matching handleConfigAppPost; there is no per-key merge. Two behavior changes worth calling out: - PATCH previously encoded data.App directly, which carried the app's entire config — tokens included — into the response body, while GET deliberately omits it. It now answers with the same AppPayload shape GET uses. This changes the response from snake_case to camelCase for anyone reading it; TestHandlePatchInstallationSchedule was asserting on the old shape and is updated. - An unknown colorFilter is now a 400 rather than being stored. The validity list is the one the config page already offers. API.md: document the new fields, and correct the installations example, which still showed iname/display_time/u_interval/last_render and a config key that AppPayload has never returned.

Validate the complete update before changing installation state.
If a request sets pinned: true and an invalid colorFilter, line 851 saves the pin before line 947 returns HTTP 400. If a request disables an app and has an invalid render field, the handler can also delete WebP files before it returns HTTP 400.
Validate ColorFilter and ShowFullAnimation before any mutation or file operation. Apply the update only after all request fields pass validation.

handlePatchInstallation applied fields as it walked them, so a request
carrying one good field and one bad one left the good half in place: a
`{"pinned": true, "colorFilter": "chartreuse"}` PATCH saved the device
pin and then answered 400, and disabling an app deleted its rendered
webp files before a later field could reject the request.
Move the two blocks with effects outside the in-memory app -- the
enabled block's file deletion and the pinned block's device save -- to
the end, after every validating field. The app itself is loaded per
request, so the staged in-memory changes are discarded when a validation
returns early and only the final Save persists anything.
Also address review feedback on the new test: use testify per AGENTS.md,
and rename the `clear` local, which the predeclared linter rejects.

Disabling an app deleted its webp files and then saved the row, so a failed save left the app enabled in the database with its renders gone. The pin was a separate write for the same reason: it landed even when the app save that followed it failed. Write the app row and the device's pinned_app in one transaction, using the same column-scoped update handleDeleteApp already uses, and move the render cleanup after the commit. Cleanup is now post-commit reconciliation: it can only leave stale files behind, so it logs instead of failing a request whose state change already succeeded. A pin write that fails now reports "Failed to update app" rather than "Failed to update device pin status" -- there is one operation to fail.

GORM v1.31.2 Generics API Updates Select("*") zero values Save omitted documentation
💡 Result:
In GORM v1.31.2, the behavior regarding zero values, Select(""), and the Save operation in the context of the Generics API is as follows: 1. Save Method Status: The Save method is intentionally omitted from the Generics API [1][2]. GORM maintainers have stated that they do not plan to implement Save or FirstOrCreate in the generics API because these convenience methods are prone to misuse and concurrency issues [2]. It is recommended to use more explicit operations like Create or Updates instead [2]. 2. Updating Zero Values: When using the Generics API to perform updates with a struct, GORM will only update non-zero fields by default [3][4]. To update fields to their zero values (e.g., 0, false, ""), you must explicitly include those fields in your update operation [3]. 3. Using Select("") and Omit: - Select("") with Updates: You can use Select("") in conjunction with the Updates method to instruct GORM to include all fields—including those with zero values—in the generated SQL update statement [3]. - Omit: You can use the Omit method alongside Select("") to include all fields except for specific ones you wish to exclude [3]. Example usage with the Generics API: // Select all fields (including zero values) gorm.GUser.Where("id =?", 111).Select("").Updates(ctx, User{Name: "jinzhu", Role: "admin", Age: 0}) // Select all fields but omit specific fields gorm.GUser.Where("id =?", 111).Select("*").Omit("Role").Updates(ctx, User{Name: "jinzhu", Role: "admin", Age: 0}) GORM v1.31.2 was released on June 25, 2026 [5][6], and the documentation for updating with the Generics API is available on the official GORM website [3].

Every iname the UI and the API create is a server-generated number, but
handleImportDeviceConfig creates apps straight from an uploaded config
and stores whatever iname it carries. That value then reaches the
filesystem twice during disable cleanup:
- filepath.Glob(webpDir + "*-" + iname + ".webp"): an iname of "*"
matches, and deletes, every render on the device.
- filepath.Join(webpDir, "pushed", iname + ".webp"): an iname of
"../../victim" resolves out of the device directory entirely, into
the sibling directory holding another device's renders.
Reject an iname that is not a plain path component, and match renders by
name rather than by glob, so metacharacters cannot widen the pattern.
TestRemoveAppRendersRejectsUnsafeIname covers both; each half fails
against the previous implementation.
This only hardens the disable path. The root cause is that the import
handler stores an unvalidated iname, and the other code that builds
paths from one is untouched here.

Hi - sending this along in case there's any desire to expose a bit more of the config via the API (rather than the UI). I'm mostly interested in being able to script more of my interactions with tronbyt!
Also caught a minor issue where it looks like PATCH was returning data that GET was omitting deliberately. Changing PATCH to return the GET shape does change the API response shape; can drop it if you're concerned. Caught by Claude; description from the commit below:
Follows #783, which brought the schedule fields across from the web UI. The same gap remained for everything else the app config page writes: config itself, autoPin, colorFilter and showFullAnimation were reachable only through a session, so an API-driven setup could install and schedule an app but never configure it.
PATCH /v0/devices/{id}/installations/{iname} gains all four. autoPin, colorFilter and showFullAnimation are added to the GET payload too, so a client can diff current state before writing.
config is write-only. It holds whatever the app's schema defines, which for many apps means API keys and OAuth tokens, and a device API key is a lower bar than a logged-in session — so it can be set but is never read back. It replaces the whole map, matching handleConfigAppPost; there is no per-key merge.
Two behavior changes worth calling out:
PATCH previously encoded data.App directly, which carried the app's entire config — tokens included — into the response body, while GET deliberately omits it. It now answers with the same AppPayload shape GET uses. This changes the response from snake_case to camelCase for anyone reading it; TestHandlePatchInstallationSchedule was asserting on the old shape and is updated.
An unknown colorFilter is now a 400 rather than being stored. The validity list is the one the config page already offers.
API.md: document the new fields, and correct the installations example, which still showed iname/display_time/u_interval/last_render and a config key that AppPayload has never returned.
