+# Building and Flashing the Frontend
+
+The Calendink Provider uses a modern Svelte 5 frontend, built with Vite and TailwindCSS. The frontend is served directly from the ESP32's `www_0` or `www_1` LittleFS partition, allowing the user interface to be updated completely independently from the underlying firmware.
+
+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+Before you can build the frontend, make sure you have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed on your machine. All frontend code is located inside the `frontend/` directory.
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+npm install
+```
+
+## 2. Development Mode
+
+During development, you don't need to rebuild and reflash the ESP32 every time you change a button color! You can run the Vite development server on your PC, and it will proxy API requests to the ESP32 over WiFi.
+
+1. Ensure the ESP32 is powered on and connected to your local network.
+2. Update `frontend/.env.development` with the IP address of your ESP32 (e.g., `VITE_API_BASE=http://192.168.50.216`).
+3. Start the dev server:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+## 3. Building for Production (ESP32)
+
+When you are ready to deploy your frontend changes to the ESP32, you must package everything into a single file and compress it. Our custom build script handles this for you.
+
+Run the following command inside the `frontend/` folder:
+
+```bash
+npm run build:esp32
+```
+
+**What this does:**
+1. Runs Vite's production build.
+2. Inlines all CSS and JS into `index.html` (thanks to `vite-plugin-singlefile`).
+3. Runs `scripts/gzip.js` to heavily compress `index.html` down to an `index.html.gz` file (~15-20KB).
+4. Outputs the final files to the `frontend/dist/` directory.
+
+## 4. Flashing the Filesystem
+
+Now that `frontend/dist/` contains your compressed web app, you must tell the ESP-IDF build system to turn that folder into a LittleFS binary image and flash it.
+
+In your standard ESP-IDF terminal (from the project root, not the `frontend/` folder):
+
+1. **Enable Web Deployment via Menuconfig (if not already done):**
+ ```bash
+ idf.py menuconfig
+ # Navigate to: Calendink Configuration -> Deploy Web Pages
+ # Make sure it is checked (Y)
+ ```
+
+2. **Build and Flash:**
+ ```bash
+ idf.py build
+ idf.py flash
+ ```
+
+Because `CONFIG_CALENDINK_DEPLOY_WEB_PAGES` is enabled, CMake will automatically:
+1. Detect your `frontend/dist/` folder.
+2. Run `mklittlefs` to package it into `www.bin`.
+3. Flash `www.bin` directly to the active `www_0` partition on the ESP32!
+
+## 5. Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates
+
+Once the backend supports it (Phase 2+), you can update the frontend without using USB or `idf.py`.
+
+1. **Build the assets**: `npm run build:esp32`
+2. **Package the image**: `npm run ota:package`
+ - This generates a versioned binary in `frontend/bin/` (e.g., `www_v1.0.5.bin`).
+ - **Configuration**: If the tool is not in your PATH, add its path to `frontend/.env`:
+ ```env
+ MKLITTLEFS_PATH=C:\path\to\mklittlefs.exe
+ ```
+ *(Note: The script also supports `littlefs-python.exe` usually found in the `build/littlefs_py_venv/Scripts/` folder).*
+3. **Upload via Dashboard**:
+ - Open the dashboard in your browser.
+ - Go to the **Frontend Update** section.
+ - Select the `www.bin` file and click **Flash**.
+ - The device will automatically write to the inactive partition and reboot.

### Stability & Performance Fixes
+- **A/B Partition System**: Implemented a redundant frontend storage system using `www_0` and `www_1` partitions. The backend dynamically selects the boot partition based on NVS state, providing a robust "fail-safe" update mechanism where the active UI is never overwritten.
+- **OTA Status Reporting**: The backend now exposes detailed partition telemetry (total size, used, and free space) to help the frontend provide accurate storage feedback to the user.
- **Persistent Daemon**: Addressed an issue where `app_main` executed to completion immediately, causing the web server daemon to drop. Implemented a non-blocking `vTaskDelay` keep-alive loop to persist the application state and keep the HTTP server listening indefinitely without spinning the CPU.
- **Static File Fallbacks**: The LittleFS static file handler correctly falls back to `index.html` (and `.gz` variants) to seamlessly support Svelte's Single Page Application (SPA) routing patterns.
### Observability Benchmarks
- **Heap Usage**: The system info endpoint natively tracks free heap availability. Observed typical runtime footprint leaves roughly **247 KB free heap** with active WiFi, API handling, and active HTTP server routing.

+Instead of updating individual files, the build process generates a single, pre-packaged `.bin` image of the entire `www` directory. This image is streamed directly to the inactive flash partition (`www_0` or `www_1`), ensuring that the current UI remains fully functional until the update is confirmed and the device reboots.
-## 3. Why Dual-Partition Image Flash?
+## 3. Design Decisions & Trade-offs
-### Image Flash vs. Individual File Uploads
-| | Image Flash (LittleFS .bin) | Individual File Uploads |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Integrity** | High (Flash whole partition, verify, switch) | Low (A failure mid-upload leaves a broken site) |
-| **Simplicity (Backend)** | Easy: Stream bytes to raw flash partition | Hard: Manage file creation, deletion, truncation |
-| **Speed** | Faster (One contiguous flash write) | Slower (Multiple HTTP requests, VFS overhead) |
+### 3.1. Why Dual-Partition (A/B)?
+- **Safety**: A failed or interrupted upload never "bricks" the UI. The ESP32 simply remains on the current working slot.
+- **Flash Allocation**: With 16MB of total flash, allocating 2MB for UI (1MB per slot) is highly efficient given it provides zero-downtime potential.
-### Dual-Partition (A/B) vs. Single Partition
-| | Dual-Partition (A/B) | Single Partition |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Rollback** | ✅ Yes: Revert to previous slot if new one fails | ❌ No: Broken update bricks the UI |
-| **Flash Usage** | Higher (Requires 2x space) | Lower |
+### 3.2. Explicit Reboot vs. Hot-Swap
+We chose an **explicit reboot** to switch slots.
+- **Pros**: Guarantees a clean state, flushes NVS, and restarts all network/VFS handles.
+- **Cons**: Brief ~3s downtime.
+- **Verdict**: The safety of a clean boot outweighs the complexity of live-mounting partitions at runtime.
-**Decision**: Because we have a 16MB flash chip, allocating two 1MB partitions for the frontend (`www_0` and `www_1`) is trivial and provides crucial safety guarantees.
+### 3.3. Semantic Versioning & Auto-Increment
+We implemented a `major.minor.revision` versioning system stored in `version.json`.
+- **Decision**: The `ota:package` script automatically increments the `revision` number on every build.
+- **Value**: This ensures that every OTA binary is unique and identifiable (e.g., `www_v0.1.6.bin`), preventing confusion during manual testing.
-## 4. Architecture & Workflow
+## 4. Final Architecture
### 4.1. The Partition Table
-The `partitions.csv` will be modified to include two 1MB data partitions for LittleFS:
-- `www_0`
-- `www_1`
+```csv
+# Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size
+nvs, data, nvs, , 0x6000
+otadata, data, ota, , 0x2000
+www_0, data, littlefs, , 1M
+www_1, data, littlefs, , 1M
+```
### 4.2. State Management (NVS)
-The active partition index (0 or 1) will be stored in Non-Volatile Storage (NVS).
-- On factory flash via serial, `www_0` is populated.
-- During boot (`app_main`), the ESP32 reads the NVS key. If the key is empty, it defaults to `0` and mounts `www_0` to the `/www` VFS path.
+The active partition label (`www_0` or `www_1`) is stored in NVS under the `ota` namespace with the key `active_slot`.
+- On boot, `main.cpp` checks this key. If missing, it defaults to `www_0`.
+- The `api_ota_frontend_handler` updates this key only after a 100% successful flash.
-### 4.3. The Update Process (Backend)
-1. **Identify Slot**: The ESP32 determines which slot is currently *inactive*.
-2. **Stream Upload**: The new LittleFS image (.bin) is `POST`ed to `/api/ota/frontend`.
-3. **Write to Flash**: The HTTP handler streams the payload directly to the raw, unmounted inactive partition using `esp_partition_erase_range` and `esp_partition_write`, bypassing LittleFS entirely to save RAM and CPU.
-4. **Switch**: Once the upload completes successfully, the NVS pointer is updated to point to the newly flashed partition.
-5. **Reboot**: The ESP32 reboots. The bootloader reads the new NVS value, mounts the updated partition, and the new frontend is served.
+### 4.3. Resilient Auto-Reload (The "Handshake")
+To solve the "post-reboot-disconnect" problem, we implemented a two-part recovery logic:
+1. **Targeted Polling**: The frontend registers an `onReboot` callback. When the OTA succeeds, the `App` enters a `rebooting` state.
+2. **Resilience**: A dedicated `$effect` in Svelte uses a "stubborn" polling loop. It ignores all connection errors (common while the ESP32 is resetting/reconnecting WiFi) and only refreshes the page once a 200 OK is received from `/api/system/info`.
-*Design Note: We chose an explicit reboot over a hot-swap (unmounting and remounting at runtime) because a reboot is very fast (~2-3 seconds) and guarantees a clean state, closing any open file handles.*
+## 5. UI/UX Implementation
-### 4.4. Security Decisions
-Authentication and security for the `/api/ota/frontend` endpoint are deferred. The device operates exclusively on a local, trusted network, making immediate authentication overhead unnecessary for this iteration.
+### 5.1. Layout Separation
+- **Frontend Info Card**: Extracted into a standalone component to provide high-level observability (Version, Active Slot, Partition Free Space).
+- **Advanced Tools**: OTA controls are hidden behind a toggle to prevent accidental triggers and reduce UI clutter.
-## 5. Implementation Steps
+### 5.2. OTA Polling & Stats
+- **Partition Space**: The `GET /api/ota/status` endpoint was expanded to return an array of partition objects with `size`, `used`, and `free` bytes.
+- **Progressive Feedback**: A progress bar provides visual feedback during the partition erase/flash cycle.
-1. **Partition Table**: Update `partitions.csv` with `www_0` and `www_1` (1MB each).
-2. **Boot Logic**: Update `main.cpp` and `http_server.cpp` to read the active partition from NVS and mount the correct label.
-3. **API Endpoints**:
- - Add `GET /api/ota/status` to report the current active slot.
- - Add `POST /api/ota/frontend` to handle the binary stream.
-4. **Frontend UI**: Create a standalone "Update" page in the Svelte app that fetches the status and provides a file picker and progress bar for the upload.
-5. **Build Automation**: Add `mklittlefs` to the Node.js build pipeline to generate `www.bin` alongside the standard `dist` output.
+## 6. Implementation Results
+
+### 6.1. Benchmarks
+| Metric | Result |
+|---|---|
+| **Binary Size** | ~19kB (Gzipped) in a 1MB partition image |
+| **Flash Duration** | ~3-5 seconds for a full 1MB partition |
+| **Reboot to UI Recovery** | ~15-20 seconds (including WiFi reconnection) |
+| **Peak Heap during OTA**| Small constant overhead (streaming pattern) |

+4. **Resilient UX**: The Svelte app implements "Resilient Recovery Polling" — it enters a dedicated `isRecovering` state during reboot that ignores connection errors until the device is confirmed back online.
