M3 work package: ui (the dashboard SPA)

Branch worktree-wf_287eb68b-e67-3, on top of 3e52e5a. Everything lives in web/; the shared files touched are Makefile (web-* targets, fmt and clean cover web), .github/workflows/ci.yml (a web job), .gitignore, go.mod (ignore ./web/node_modules), NOTICE and this report.

What was built

web (Go package)

• web.FS (fs.FS, //go:embed all:dist, rooted at the bundle) and web.Built() (false while dist/index.html is the committed placeholder).
• web.Handler(web.Options{BasePath, FS, ContentSecurityPolicy}): serves the bundle with Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable for the content-hashed assets/, no-cache plus the SPA fallback (index.html) for every extension-less path, 404 for missing files and for anything under api/, gzip (cached per file) when accepted, ETags, GET/HEAD only, and Content-Security-Policy (web.DefaultCSP), X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, X-Frame-Options: DENY, Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy. The <base href> of index.html is rewritten (HTML-escaped) to the base path, which is how one bundle serves under any prefix.
• Tests: TestFSServesIndex (the task's assertion: FS has index.html and the handler serves it), TestIndexAssetsPresent (fails when index.html references assets that are not embedded, i.e. a built index.html committed over the placeholder), a routing table, gzip/ETag, base-path escaping and placeholder detection. go test -race ./web passes with the placeholder and with a real bundle.

web/ (the SPA, D69 stack)

Bun 1.4.3 + Vite 8 (rolldown) + React 19.3 + TypeScript 6 strict (noUncheckedIndexedAccess, verbatimModuleSyntax) + Astryx 0.6.8 (@astryxdesign/core; the Kudurru brand theme and neutral, stone and the fun y2k as local themes in web/src/themes, built with astryx theme build and wired through the generated src/astryx-themes.ts; prebuilt CSS, built themes only, pinned exactly) + TanStack Query 5 / Table 8 / Virtual 3 + uPlot 1.6.32 + ECharts 6.1 (tree-shaken, dynamically imported) + lucide icons. No CDN, no inline script, relative asset URLs.

Pages (all in the side navigation, each a lazily loaded chunk; src/routes.tsx):

Cross-cutting:

• Node scope (§10 principle 9): the top-bar selector ("All nodes (N)" or one node, persisted per browser) appears on every stats/log page and every stats/log request sends scope=cluster or scope=node&node=<name>; the scope block of responses is shown under each page title.
• Colour code (principle 4): q-permitted / q-cached / q-blocked / q-error classes reading the --q-* theme tokens (the same values in every theme, D131); charts resolve the CSS colours at draw time and redraw on theme, mode, contrast or OS scheme changes. Auto/light/dark modes, a high-contrast setting (the themes' --q-*-strong tokens, borders in the text colour), the Kudurru (default), neutral, stone and y2k themes, all in the initial load.
• Path prefix: <base href> rewritten by the handler; the router, API base, downloads and OIDC links derive from it; API URLs are never treated as client routes.
• Accessibility: AppShell skip link and landmarks, labelled controls, combobox pattern for suggestions, keyboard row navigation in the log (Enter/Space expand, arrows move), data tables behind every chart, polite live regions for counts and countdowns, reduced-motion respected.
• Permissions: GET /auth/me permissions drive disabled buttons with a tooltip naming the missing resource.verb (verbs of permissions.yaml: blocking.toggle, cache.flush, node.config, ...); 403s show the missing permission from the error hint; any 401 outside /auth/* returns to the login page.

API client (web/src/api)

types.ts holds every wire type (objects field for field from api/v1alpha1, stats and log from internal/querylog/sqlitelog); client.ts is the fetch wrapper (same-origin cookies, X-Kudurru-CSRF on mutating requests, ApiError{status,key,message,hint,retryAfter} with missing and owner accessors); endpoints.ts has one function per route; context.tsx the session, permission check and node scope. When the api package commits api/openapi.json, bun run gen:api writes src/api/generated.ts and the types in types.ts become aliases of components['schemas'][...]; nothing else names a schema, so the swap is one file.

Mocks (web/src/mocks)

MSW 3 handlers for the whole contract (error envelope, 401/403 with missing, 409 managed_by, 412 on If-Match, keyset cursors, SSE tail, processed{success,errors}, merge-patch settings with host_only) over deterministic fixtures (fixed seed and clock): 3 zones with 50 records, 6 lists including the starter list, 4 groups, 3 policies, 24 h of 5-minute series, 500 query rows, 2 nodes, diagnosis messages, audit entries, the real settings schema. The permission matrix follows permissions.yaml (admin = all verbs, viewer = the viewer role plus querylog.read). bun run dev:mock serves them in the browser; ?mockUser=admin skips the form.

Pages, wizards and dialogs

The information architecture of the dashboard (UX round 2, 2026-10-11). Every new screen follows it; web/src/components/Wizard.tsx, web/src/components/FormDialog.tsx and web/src/components/fields/ are the building blocks.

• Dedicated page for every object a user configures or inspects. It has a URL, a current-state header (enabled, health or ready, managedBy, counts), sections, and actions. List pages are tables whose rows link to the detail page. Routes: /policies/:ns/:name, /lists/:ns/:name, /groups/:ns/:name, /clients/:key, /zones/:zone, /upstreams/:group.

• Creation wizard in a modal over the page you are on, for creating anything with more than about four fields or several concepts: policies, lists, groups, zones and upstream groups (web/src/components/wizards/). Dedicated pages are for objects, not for the flow that creates one. The modal (WizardDialog, composed like Astryx's form-wizard-dialog template) pins the title, ✕ and a compact Stepper above the step and Cancel, the step's message, Back and Next (Create on the last step) below it, so nothing scrolls out of reach; only the step body scrolls. ✕, Escape and Cancel close it; once anything was entered they ask "Discard the new …?" first, and the backdrop never closes it. Focus moves to the step's heading on every step change. Create closes the modal and opens the new object's page. List pages open their wizard with "New …" and ?new=1 (closing drops it), and the old routes /policies/new, /lists/new, /groups/new, /zones/new and /upstreams/new redirect there, so bookmarks and links keep working; the word new is therefore not a usable object name on those routes (the zone and upstream wizards refuse it). A detail page opens a related wizard in place where that is the natural next step, e.g. "New policy" on a group's page with the group chosen. A wizard never opens another dialog (Astryx: no nested dialogs), apart from the discard question. Editing an existing object happens on its detail page, in inline sections with their own Save.

• Dialog (FormDialog) only for short, single-purpose actions: confirmations, adding one source or entry, adding domains to allow/deny, cache flush, the blocking timer, password change, token creation, appearance, the record editor (a small typed form), zone file import and the block page preview. Nothing that scrolls more than one screen.

• Typed controls. Never a free-text box for:

  • a value from a closed set: SelectField/EnumSelect (an Astryx Selector, with the chosen option's help under it) or, for a wizard's first choice, ChoiceCards (a RadioList);
  • a duration: DurationField (presets from the settings schema's presets, "Custom…" for anything else); TTLs and SOA timers in seconds: SecondsField;
  • a reference to another object: ObjectRefPicker or UpstreamGroupSelect;
  • a boolean: Switch / SwitchField, or CheckboxField in a form that is saved as a whole;
  • a number with bounds: NumberField (Astryx NumberInput, the range in its help and an inline range error); a size: BytesField (number and unit);
  • a date and time: Astryx DateTimeInput; a time: TimeInput;
  • a list: StringListField (rows with add/remove, "Paste many", a per-row check); lists of objects and maps: the row editors of ShapeField.

  Free text stays for names, domains, URLs, addresses and CIDRs, each with format validation and an example (fields/formats.ts: ip, ipv4, ipv6, cidr, hostport, url, domain, upstream, email), in TextField / TextAreaField.

• Astryx controls only, help under the control. Every control is an Astryx component through the wrappers of components/fields/; no raw <select>, <input> or <textarea> (an ESLint rule rejects them, and description on the Astryx inputs, outside components/fields/). A field reads label, control, helper text, then the status message: Astryx's description renders between label and control, so the wrappers take help instead, render it as supporting Text after the control and link it with aria-describedby (fields/FieldHelp.tsx; Switch and CheckboxInput keep their own description, which sits beside the control). Labels stay on one line so a row of fields lines up on its controls.

• Settings are rendered from the schema (contract C1): GET /settings/_schema gives each key its control (enum, min/max, presets, format, ref, items/keys/values/fields shapes), its section (group, in the order of config.Groups) and its label (the path is shown small underneath). Each row is 60% explanation (label, path, help, badges) and 40% value (the control, then the default or Save, Reset and Edit as JSON), one column under 900px; every row has help, the server's or, when it is missing or a few words, a sentence about the value's type from the shape. Raw JSON is only the "Edit as JSON" escape hatch of list and map keys. A key that differs from its default shows "changed" and offers "Reset to default" (null in the merge patch). A 400 names the failing parts of a value inline (error.fields). Keys without metadata (servers before C1) fall back to a control from the bare type.

• Read-only objects (managedBy file, bootstrap or Kubernetes) show the same page with the controls disabled and the reason (readOnlyReason).

Wiring for serve (integrator)

cmd/kudurru/serve.go has no API listener yet; the api package adds the /api/v1 handler on cfg.Listeners.API.Address. Mount the dashboard on the same mux, after the API so /api/ never reaches the SPA (the handler also 404s api/* on its own):

import "github.com/robertherbaugh/kudurru/web"

mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.Handle("/api/", apiHandler)                       // api package (huma), incl. /api/v1/docs
mux.Handle("/", web.Handler(web.Options{}))           // dashboard at the root
if !web.Built() {
	logger.Warn("dashboard bundle not built into this binary; serving a placeholder page (make web-build)")
}
// in the runner list, next to "ops" and "metrics":
// {"api", false, func(ctx context.Context) error { return serveHTTP(ctx, cfg.Listeners.API.Address, mux, logger, "api") }},

Behind a reverse proxy that keeps a prefix (e.g. /kudurru/), mount both under it and strip it for the SPA:

prefix := "/kudurru" // no config key yet, see follow-ups
mux.Handle(prefix+"/api/", http.StripPrefix(prefix, apiHandler))
mux.Handle(prefix+"/", http.StripPrefix(prefix, web.Handler(web.Options{BasePath: prefix})))

The handler sets its own CSP (web.DefaultCSP: script-src 'self', connect-src 'self', style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' because Astryx inserts its popover position rules and React/uPlot set geometry through style attributes; no script source is relaxed). If the API middleware also sets a CSP, it must not apply to the dashboard routes or must be identical. /api/v1/docs (Scalar) needs its own CSP from the api package.

API routes and shapes the contract did not fully specify

The client and mocks assume the following; the api package should match them or tell the integrator so types.ts can follow:

1. GET /settings/_schema → {items:[{path,type,scope,default,help,hostOnly?,envLocked?,restartRequired?,writeOnly?}]} in lowerCamel (internal/config.Key has no JSON tags). GET /settings and GET /node/config return nested objects keyed by the dotted path segments; PATCH bodies are application/merge-patch+json; a host-only key is rejected with 400 key host_only.
2. GET /auth/me → permissions uses the verbs of permissions.yaml (read, write, delete, toggle, flush, refresh, purge, config, transfer, own, ...), * accepted as a wildcard resource or verb. POST /auth/login returns the same body as /auth/me (the UI needs the CSRF token without a second call). GET /auth/status localLogin may be a boolean or enabled|admins-only|disabled. GET /auth/oidc/{idp}/start?next=<route> returns to next; a failed callback redirects to the SPA with ?error=<message>.
3. GET /queries/stream: events named query, id = the row id, data = one QueryRow JSON (same shape as /queries), same filters and scope parameters as /queries, cookie auth (withCredentials). Resume is Last-Event-ID (EventSource reconnects) and also ?lastEventId= on a fresh connection, because EventSource cannot set headers.
4. GET /queries/suggestions?field=domain|client|upstream|list|zone&prefix= → {field, values:[...]}; POST /queries/{id}/actions → {processed:{success:[{item}],errors:[{item,error}]}}.
5. GET /stats/top and GET /stats/timeseries accept from/to (RFC 3339) as well as window (long-term page); GET /stats/upstreams?window= (in the §10 surface, not the task contract) → UpstreamsResult of sqlitelog for the upstream donut.
6. GET /zones rows carry an optional transfer object {zoneTransfer, notify, lastNotify?{at,targets,ok,error?}, lastTransfer?{at,peer,kind:AXFR|IXFR,ok}} for the transfer/NOTIFY status; GET /zones/{zone} returns the same row shape.
7. GET /zones/{zone}/records rows carry managedBy (the record set's manager) and namespace; DELETE /zones/{zone}/records/{name}/{type} accepts ?recordSet= to pick one of several record sets; POST /zones/{zone}/notify → {targets:[...]}; POST /zones/{zone}/import → {imported, recordSet?, skipped?:[{line,error}]}.
8. POST /{kind}:batchDelete body {names, namespace?} (the UI sends one call per namespace); returns processed.
9. GET /blocklists/_search?domain= → {items:[{list,namespace,rule,mode}]}; POST /blocklists/{ns}/{name}/refresh → 202/204.
10. GET /clients?window=24h → {items:[{ip,name?,mac?,groups:[...],lastSeen?,queries24h,blocked24h}]} (§10 lists the route, not the shape).
11. GET /dns/blocking → {blocking, timer?, until?} (both when disabled with a deadline); POST /dns/blocking with {blocking:false, timer} or {blocking:false, until} or {blocking:true} returns the new state. POST /cache/flush → {flushed}.
12. POST /dns/query → {rcode,status,status_class,answer,authority,additional:[{name,type,ttl,class?,data}],upstream?,list?,rule?,zone?,cname_chain?,ede?{code,text?},took_ms,node?}.
13. GET /nodes rows {name,version,roles,ready,leader,vipMaster?,qps,snapshotAge?,address?,storeDriver?,startedAt?}; GET /nodes/{name}/health → {name,checks:[{name,ok,message?}]}; GET /cluster → {mode,leader,nodes,epoch?,readOnly?}; GET /edge → {backends:[{name,address,up,qps?}],vip?:[{address,owner?}]}; GET /version → {version,commit,date,go?}.
14. GET /info/messages items {id,severity:error|warning|info,reason,message,object?{kind,namespace?,name},hint?,node?,since?}.
15. POST /apply accepts application/yaml or application/json bodies and returns {items:[ApplyResult]}; GET /objects/{kind} is linked as a JSON download.
16. POST /auth/tokens body {name, expiresIn?} → token row plus token (the kdr_ secret); rows {id,name,createdAt,expiresAt?,lastUsedAt?,lastUsedIP?}. GET /audit → {items,cursor_next?} rows {id,ts,actor,action,kind,namespace?,name,outcome,authzPath?}; GET /audit/export is a download. IAM rows: users {name,displayName?,local,roles?,disabled?}, service accounts {name,namespace?,tokens?}, role bindings {name,role,subjects:[{kind,name}]}, identity providers {name,issuer,clientID?}.
17. Comment and enabled on every object (principle 6): v1alpha1 has no such fields, so the UI writes the annotations kudurru.io/comment and kudurru.io/enabled: "false". The server and controllers do not honour kudurru.io/enabled yet (follow-up). Ownership comes from kudurru.io/managed-by (api, bootstrap, file:<path>, kubernetes/kubectl, integration:<name>, system).

Decisions and deviations

• Own 150-line router instead of a router library: a dozen flat routes, search params as the single source of filter state, prefix aware and plugged into Astryx's LinkProvider; saves ~60 KB.
• Native <select> for enums (status, type, theme, record type, settings enums) next to Astryx inputs: fully keyboard/AT accessible and trivial to test; Astryx Selector is a popover listbox.
• Charts keep an accessible twin: every uPlot chart has a data table with drill-down links and every donut an HTML legend; canvas is skipped when unavailable (tests) without losing the data.
• Doctor in the browser composes existing endpoints; a GET /doctor would let it match kudurru doctor (follow-up).
• Licence file: scripts/licenses.ts writes dist/third-party-licenses.txt (all 28 production packages, licence texts and the Apache ECharts NOTICE; fails on copyleft licences); it is embedded and linked from Tools. Astryx 0.6.8 ships no LICENSE file in its npm tarball, so the script writes the MIT text with Meta's copyright for it.
• React is 19.3 (architecture.md names 19.2; 19.3 was current when the lockfile was created).

Measurements

Surprises

• The previous attempt's WIP commits were not on the branch (it had been reset to the initial commit); they were found as dangling commits and the branch fast-forwarded to 5740c25 before continuing.
• MSW 3 renamed onUnhandledRequest to onUnhandledFrame, and sse() throws at construction where EventSource is missing (jsdom), so the SSE handler is registered only in browsers.
• jsdom does no layout: TanStack Virtual renders zero rows unless the test setup gives the scroller an offsetHeight.
• Astryx buttons disable with aria-disabled (not disabled) and render field errors twice (visual and live region); tests query accordingly.
• Rolldown names a shared chunk after its first module (format-*.js holds shared Astryx code); vendor groups pin react and tanstack-query.
• make web-build overwrites the tracked placeholder web/dist/index.html by design (the task wants it committed); TestIndexAssetsPresent catches an accidental commit of the built file.
• Headless Chrome's --screenshot returns before the MSW service worker starts; screenshots were taken with a small CDP driver instead.

Follow-ups

Added to docs/followups.md under "Dashboard (web/)":

• api package: match the shapes above (especially the settings schema JSON names, the SSE event name and ?lastEventId=, transfer on zone rows, managedBy on record rows, /clients); then generate src/api/generated.ts from api/openapi.json and alias the types.
• Honour kudurru.io/enabled: "false" (and show kudurru.io/comment) in the controller, policy compiler and list resolver, or add comment/enabled to the v1alpha1 specs (decision needed).
• A config key for the URL prefix (e.g. listeners.api.pathPrefix) feeding web.Options.BasePath and the API mount.
• GET /doctor so the Tools page shows the same checks as kudurru doctor.
• Embed pre-compressed assets (gzip at build time, decompress only for the rare client without gzip) to cut the binary impact from 1.8 MB to ~0.55 MB.
• Playwright end-to-end run against a real kudurru serve (skipped here; the CDP screenshots covered layout, dark mode and mobile by hand).
• Replace the window.confirm on record delete with an Astryx AlertDialog; GET /queries/export link in the query log once the route exists; cluster join wizard, Integrations page and IAM writes are v0.2 (§10 principle 13).
• Adopt @astryxdesign/charts once stable and drop uPlot/ECharts.
