Web UI now installs by default during first-time provisioning (fixed
port 8090, no prompt) instead of being opt-in, and can install/
reconfigure CUPS Printing, LMS Server, Squeezelite Player, and Asterisk
Intercom, and check for updates - the addons and Update action asked
for by name.
Privilege model: the web service itself still runs as $KIOSK_USER with
zero ambient sudo. A new narrow, allow-listed root helper
(menus/addon_webui.sh's webui_write_helper_script) is the only way it
ever gains privilege, reachable only via a single-path passwordless
sudo rule generated and validated with `visudo -c -f` before being
installed, and it re-checks its own fixed action allow-list before
dispatching anything. Each allow-listed action is the exact same
interactive action_* function the terminal menu already uses, driven
by piping the right answers on stdin - the same technique this
project's own bash tests already use, so no prompt/mutation refactor
of any addon file was needed. webui/lib/actions.js's stdin sequences
were cross-validated against the real bash functions (not just read),
which caught two real bugs (Squeezelite and Asterisk Intercom both
silently lost their "decline reconfigure" path).
Long-running installs stream live output via Server-Sent Events
(webui/lib/jobs.js), one action at a time.
Full visual redesign: a sidebar shell (Sites/Display/Lockout/Addons/
Update) replacing the single scrolling page, light+dark themes via
prefers-color-scheme, no external font/CDN dependency. Actually driving
the redesigned UI in a headless browser (not just reading the code)
caught a real bug: refreshing an addon's pill/button after a successful
install used to rebuild the whole card, racing (and usually losing to)
the success status/log that job had just written. Fixed to update
pill/buttons in place.
Uninstall-via-web is deliberately still not offered, for any addon.
