Phase 4: Frontend login gate and role-based UI
- Add auth-gate HTML overlay with passphrase form
- Implement checkAuthStatus, authLogin, authLogout functions
- Auth startup sequence checks /auth/session before connecting
- Apply role-based restrictions: hide PTT/TX controls for rx role
- Handle 401/403 errors in postPath, return to login screen
- Add logout button in About tab with auth role display
- Passphrase form shows generic error messages (no info leakage)
Phase 5: Documentation
- Update trx-client.toml.example with [frontends.http.auth] section
- All config fields with inline documentation and examples
- security notes about cookie settings
- Update README.md with HTTP Frontend Authentication section
- Role model explanation (rx vs control)
- Configuration example
- Security considerations for local, LAN, and remote deployments
- Architecture overview
UI Features:
- Login gate blocks main UI until authenticated
- Role badge shows authenticated status in About tab
- Error messages clear after 5 seconds
- Logout confirmation prevents accidental logouts
- Smooth transition from auth gate to main UI
All code compiles successfully. HTTP frontend build verified.
