feat: pre-boot firmware self-update + public endpoints

Kiosk checks for stable firmware update before pairing. If available,
downloads + verifies + swaps binary and restarts. No auth needed.

Server: GET /api/firmware/public/check (stable channel, no auth)
        GET /api/firmware/public/download/:id (rate-limited, no auth)

Kiosk: check_public() + apply_public() in firmware.rs. Called from
ui.rs worker thread before entering pairing loop. kiosk_app_version
made pub for access from ui.rs.

Also includes kiosk_id deserialization fix (Value instead of String).

# BSB Framework — Practical Learnings
Lessons learned building BetterFrame on BSB v9. Intended for updating
bsbcode.dev/llms.txt so future LLM sessions don't repeat these mistakes.
---
## Container Runtime
### Base Image
- Image: `betterweb/service-base:9` (Docker Hub)
- Alpine-based (use `apk` not `apt-get`)
- Entrypoint: `/root/entrypoint.sh` — runs as root, drops to unprivileged user
- **DO NOT** set `USER` in child Dockerfiles — BSB entrypoint handles privilege dropping
- **DO NOT** override `CMD` or `ENTRYPOINT` — BSB handles startup
### Production Environment
- Set `ENV NODE_ENV=production` and `ENV BSB_LIVE=true` in Dockerfile
- Without `BSB_LIVE=true`, BSB warns about non-production and tries to write sec-config.yaml
### Plugin Discovery
- BSB searches: `/home/bsb/node_modules/<package>/lib/plugins/<type>-<name>/index.js`
- Also searches: `/mnt/bsb-plugins/node_modules/...` but this is a VOLUME — build-time COPY gets shadowed by empty anonymous volume at runtime
- **USE `/home/bsb/node_modules/`** for build-time plugin installation
- Working directory is `/home/bsb`
### Plugin Registration in Config
```yaml
services:
service-my-plugin:
package: my-npm-package-name # <-- REQUIRED for container mode
plugin: service-my-plugin
enabled: true
config: {}
```
Without `package:`, BSB only finds built-in plugins (config-default, events-default, log-default).
The `package` value must match the `name` field in the plugin's `package.json`.
---
## Config Schema
### Schema Extractor Limitations
- `bsb-plugin-cli build` extracts config schemas from TypeScript source **statically**
- **Cannot resolve cross-file imports** — imported schema variables show as "not defined"
- Workaround: inline anyvali schema definitions in each plugin's ConfigSchema
- Type-only imports (`import type { ... }`) are fine — only runtime value imports break extraction
```typescript
// BAD — schema extractor can't resolve this:
import { dbConfigSchema } from "../../shared/db/config.js";
const ConfigSchema = av.object({ db: dbConfigSchema, ... });
// GOOD — inline the schema:
const ConfigSchema = av.object({
db: av.object({
driver: av.enum_(["sqlite", "postgres"] as const).default("postgres"),
host: av.string().default("postgres"),
// ...
}, { unknownKeys: "strip" }),
// ...
});
```
### Nested Config Objects
- Config supports nested `av.object()` — use for grouping related fields:
```yaml
config:
db:
driver: postgres
host: postgres
host: 0.0.0.0
port: 18080
```
- Access via `this.config.db.driver`, `this.config.host`
### Config Defaults
- BSB does NOT apply anyvali schema defaults for keys missing from sec-config.yaml
- Always declare config values explicitly in sec-config.yaml
- Defaults in the schema are documentation, not runtime fallbacks
### No Environment Variable Access
- Application code should **never** read `process.env`
- All config comes from sec-config.yaml via `this.config.*`
- For Docker/Coolify: use build-time `envsubst` on a template to generate sec-config.yaml
- sec-config.yaml should be baked into the image or bind-mounted — not generated at runtime
---
## Plugin Architecture
### What Should Be a Plugin
- Services with own port, lifecycle, independent scaling
- Examples: HTTP server, WebSocket server, API server
### What Should NOT Be a Plugin
- Database access layer (just a library — no port, no lifecycle)
- Shared utilities, crypto helpers, auth logic
- Anything that's just a function other plugins call
### Cross-Plugin Communication
- Plugins should have **zero runtime imports** from other plugins
- Type-only imports (`import type { ... }`) are acceptable
- Communication between plugins: BSB event bus (emitBroadcast, emitReturnableEvent)
- Shared code goes in `src/shared/` — imported by multiple plugins as a library
### Plugin Init Order
- `initAfterPlugins` / `initBeforePlugins` control order
- Not needed when plugins are independent (each inits own DB, etc.)
---
## Build System
### Build Command
```bash
cross-env NODE_OPTIONS="--import tsx" bsb-plugin-cli build
```
- BSB build needs `tsx` for schema extraction from TypeScript source
- Build output: `lib/` directory with compiled JS + `bsb-plugin.json`
### bsb-plugin.json
- Auto-generated by build, lists all discovered plugins
- Must match the plugins present in `src/plugins/`
- If a plugin is removed, this file must be regenerated
### Dev Mode
```bash
cross-env NODE_OPTIONS="--import tsx" bsb-plugin-cli dev
```
- Hot reload, runs TypeScript directly
- Creates `.bsbdevwatch` file for include/exclude patterns
---
## Logging
### Log Message Format
- `obs.log.info("text {tag}", { tag: value })` — structured logging
- Message strings **MUST be string literals** (BSB SmartLogMeta extracts placeholders from literal type)
- String concatenation (`"a " + "b"`) widens to `string` and breaks SmartLogMeta placeholder extraction
- Template literals in log messages work for the value, not the message key
```typescript
// BAD:
obs.log.info("connecting to " + url, {});
// GOOD:
obs.log.info("connecting to {url}", { url });
```
---
## Docker Deployment Pattern
### Dockerfile Structure
```dockerfile
# Builder — compile TypeScript + native deps
FROM node:24-trixie-slim AS builder
WORKDIR /app
# ... npm ci, npm run build ...
# Runtime — BSB container
FROM betterweb/service-base:9
# Install extras (Alpine)
RUN apk add --no-cache gettext ffmpeg
# Copy built plugin into BSB's node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/server/package.json /home/bsb/node_modules/<pkg>/package.json
COPY --from=builder /app/server/bsb-plugin.json /home/bsb/node_modules/<pkg>/bsb-plugin.json
COPY --from=builder /app/server/lib /home/bsb/node_modules/<pkg>/lib
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules /home/bsb/node_modules/<pkg>/node_modules
# Generate config from template
COPY sec-config.template.yaml /tmp/sec-config.template.yaml
RUN envsubst < /tmp/sec-config.template.yaml > /home/bsb/sec-config.yaml \
&& chmod 444 /home/bsb/sec-config.yaml \
&& rm /tmp/sec-config.template.yaml
ENV NODE_ENV=production
ENV BSB_LIVE=true
```
### sec-config.template.yaml Pattern
- Template with `${VAR}` placeholders (NOT `${VAR:-default}` — envsubst doesn't support defaults)
- Defaults come from Dockerfile `ARG` declarations
- Secrets set as Coolify build args (not in git)
- Template committed to public repo (safe — no secrets)
- Generated sec-config.yaml baked into image at build time
---
## Common Pitfalls
1. **`betterweb/service-base:node` is v8, `:9` is v9** — use the correct tag
2. **VOLUME declarations in base image shadow build-time COPY** — don't write to `/mnt/bsb-plugins`
3. **`USER node` blocks BSB entrypoint** — entrypoint is at `/root/entrypoint.sh`, needs root access
4. **Schema extractor can't follow imports** — inline schemas in plugin ConfigSchema
5. **`package:` required in sec-config** — without it, BSB won't find external plugins
6. **Alpine = apk, not apt-get** — base image is Alpine Linux
7. **sec-config.yaml must be writable in dev, read-only in prod** — BSB_LIVE=true skips write attempts

# Multi-Tenant Architecture
## Current Design
- **Single admin user** — global admin, full access to all tenants
- **No per-tenant logins** — one admin manages everything
- **Tenant = data isolation boundary** — each tenant gets its own PG schema
- **Admin switches tenants** via dropdown in topbar (session-stored)
- **User management deferred** — if/when we want per-tenant user logins, that's a separate feature
## How It Works
1. `PUBLIC_MIGRATIONS` create `tenants` + `global_admins` tables in `public` schema
2. Each tenant gets a PG schema: `tenant_<slug>` (e.g. `tenant_acme`)
3. `TENANT_MIGRATIONS` run inside each tenant schema (full table set per tenant)
4. Admin creates tenants from the admin UI
5. Middleware sets `search_path = tenant_<slug>` per request based on selected tenant
6. All repo queries automatically scope to the active tenant's schema
## What's NOT Happening
- No per-tenant admin users (single global admin for now)
- No tenant-specific auth (global session, tenant is just a context switch)
- No tenant billing/limits enforcement (max_kiosks/max_cameras columns exist but unenforced)
- No tenant API keys (all API keys are global)
## Future: Per-Tenant Users
When needed, add:
- Per-tenant `users` table (already in TENANT_MIGRATIONS)
- Login scoped to tenant (tenant slug in login URL or selection)
- Role-based access per tenant
- Separate from global admin
