- New upgrade_kiosk() function in Core Settings menu (option 10)
- Auto-exports config, timers, and addon configs before reinstall
- Auto-imports everything after reinstall completes
- User just needs to press Enter through installer prompts
- Also fixed SUDO_USER unbound variable issues
- Use ${SUDO_USER:-} to avoid unbound variable error with set -u
- Fall back to USER, then /tmp if neither is set
- Validate home_dir exists and is writable
- Use whoami instead of $USER in scp hint
The script uses 'set -euo pipefail' which causes ((var++)) to exit
when var is 0, since the expression evaluates to 0 (falsey).
Changed to var=$((var + 1)) which always succeeds.
Export now includes:
- WireGuard: /etc/wireguard/*.conf files
- Netbird: config.json, state directory (machine keys), user config
- OpenVPN: /etc/openvpn/ directory
- Tailscale: notes installation status (requires re-auth)
Import restores all VPN configs and auto-enables services.
Warns if VPN software not installed after restore.

- configure_easy_asterisk() function for non-existent addon

Result: Clean implementation with only the working GitHub-based
Easy Asterisk Intercom installer that properly manages versions
and preserves configurations.
Features:
- Download and install latest Easy Asterisk from GitHub repository
- Automatic version detection using GitHub API
- Smart update checking with user confirmation
- Configuration preservation during updates and reruns
- Backup and restore functionality for configs
- Safe re-run capability without breaking existing setup
Menu changes:
- Added "Install/Update Intercom (Easy Asterisk)" option

- Enhanced configuration interface with file editing support
README updates:
- Added Communication section with Easy Asterisk Intercom
- Documented installation, update, and configuration workflows
- Updated version to 0.9.9
- Added installation locations and management commands
The intercom addon integrates with outis1one/easy-asterisk repository
and follows the pattern of easy-asterisk-v*.sh version files.
This release fixes critical issues with rotation behavior and user interaction:
ROTATION LOGIC FIXES:
- Rotation now properly pauses when user interacts with any URL
- Added manualNavigationMode check to rotation logic
- User interaction (touch, scroll, type) sets manualNavigationMode=true
- "Return to Rotation" button resets manualNavigationMode=false
- Prevents unwanted auto-rotation when user is actively using content
USER INTERACTION IMPROVEMENTS:
- markActivity() now sets manualNavigationMode=true for actual user interaction
- Differentiates between content interaction and prompt responses
- Time extensions continue to be honored during user interaction
- Inactivity prompt closes when user interacts with content
EDGE CASE HANDLING:
- Fixed return to rotation when home URL exists but all URLs have 0 time
- Return to home URL still works even with no rotation configured
- Inactivity prompt properly fires on home URL in no-rotation scenario
PASSWORD/LOCKOUT PRECEDENCE:
- Verified password prompt blocks all interaction on boot
- Lockout properly blocks rotation and prompts
- System resume, screen lock trigger password protection correctly
Technical changes:
- Line 3913: Added !manualNavigationMode check to rotation condition
- Lines 3647-3651: Set manualNavigationMode on user content interaction
- Line 4086-4090: Enhanced returnToHome() documentation for no-rotation case
- Updated VERSION constants and release notes
All existing functionality preserved including:
- Time extensions honored
- Manual tab switching clears extensions
- Prompt only appears on interacted sites
- Password takes precedence on boot/resume/lockout
Password Protection Enhancements:
- Password prompt now appears on bootup if lockout enabled
- Password prompt on system suspend/resume (via powerMonitor)
- Password prompt on screen lock events
- Ensures kiosk is always protected when password feature is enabled
Critical Inactivity Popup Fix:
- Fixed popup not appearing on rotation sites (major UX bug)
- Auto-rotation now preserves userInteractedWithCurrentSite flag
- Added isAutoRotation parameter to attachView()
- Only resets interaction flag on manual navigation
- Inactivity check moved BEFORE rotation check
- Rotation pauses while inactivity prompt is displayed
Lockout Timer Independence:
- Lockout timer now uses lastLockoutCheck instead of lastUserInteraction
- Responding to inactivity prompts no longer resets lockout timer
- Added resetLockoutTimer parameter to markActivity()
- Only actual user interactions (touches, swipes, keyboard) reset lockout
- Ensures lockout fires even if user keeps responding to prompts
Other Fixes:
- Fixed script bailing on manual electron update (graceful error handling)
- Changed "Nuclear reinstall" to "Reinstall complete! System is fresh."
- Moved Session Lockout from Sites menu to Core Settings menu (option 7)
All markActivity() calls updated with proper resetLockoutTimer flags
Critical fix:
- Rotation now pauses completely when session is locked
- Previously rotation would continue running in background while lockout screen displayed
- This caused the lockout screen to disappear after ~1 minute when rotation occurred
- Added sessionLocked check to rotation logic (line 3888)
- Added sessionLocked check to inactivity prompt logic (line 3836)
- Password lockout screen now stays visible until correct password is entered
Major improvements:
- Moved Session Lockout configuration from Sites menu to Core Settings menu
- Now accessible as option 7 in Core Settings for easier access
- Removed from Sites menu to reduce clutter
- Fixed critical inactivity popup bug on rotation sites
- Popup now appears on ALL sites where user has interacted
- Previously only worked on manual (0-timed) sites
- Inactivity check now happens BEFORE rotation check
- Prevents sites from rotating away before popup can appear
- Rotation pauses while inactivity prompt is displayed
Version bump: v0.9.8 → v0.9.9
