## What this is

`deck-it` turns an Android tablet into a second monitor, a stream-deck and an
always-on control surface for a Slackware Hyprland desktop. The PC serves a web
page on a Unix socket and exposes it to the tablet with `adb reverse`; `wayvnc`
streams a headless output to AVNC. Python 3.11+ standard library, plus
`websocket-client` for obs-websocket. Plain HTML/CSS/JS frontend, bash launcher.
Keep the server dependency-free apart from that one package.

## How it fits together

- `deckit/server.py` is the stdlib HTTP server: it listens on
  `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/deck-it/http.sock`, serves `static/`, `/theme.css`,
  `/icons/<name>.svg` and `/api/<module>[/<action>]`.
- A module is `deckit/modules/<name>.py` exporting `make(cfg) -> Module`; the
  registry discovers files lazily. `state()` is read, `actions` are
  allow-listed, and the client sends ids, never commands.
- The page shell (`static/app.js`) builds tabs from each panel's `tab` property,
  mounts panels and polls `/api/<module>`.
- `deckit/theme.py` reads UDT's palette (`~/.config/rofi/udt/palette.rasi`) and
  `~/.cache/udt/udt-border.lua`; the frontend uses only those CSS variables.
  Text size is keystone's (`~/.config/keystone/fonts.json`, `override.deckit`
  else `base`) as `--udt-font-size` on `html`, so `deck.css` sizes text in
  `rem`. The shell re-reads `/theme.css` every 5s, so changes reach an open page.
- Launcher icons follow the icon theme Keystone sets (`gsettings
  org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme`); window icons resolve through the
  `.desktop` `Icon`/`StartupWMClass` mapping.
- `deckit/display.py` creates the headless output, centres it under the first
  monitor for `position = "auto-below"`, and paints it with the first monitor's
  swaybg image.
- The launcher (`deck-it`) handles USB and Wi-Fi (`pair`/`wifi`), the tunnels,
  wayvnc and AVNC. `adb mdns` may be unsupported; `deck-it wifi <ip:port>` takes
  an explicit address.

## Conventions

- New behaviour goes in a module under `deckit/modules/`, not in the server.
- Panels keep their scoped wrapper class (`.music`, `.sbb`, `.llm`, `.windows`)
  because the CSS is scoped to it.
- Hyprland Lua: a dispatcher must be wrapped in `hl.dispatch(...)` to execute.
  `hyprctl eval` alone only builds the dispatcher object.
- No personal data in code, docs, tests or commits; use placeholders.

## Testing

    python3 -m unittest discover -s tests

`node --check` any changed JS file. The real hardware paths (wayvnc, adb, OBS,
the tablet) are manual.
