Mitchell-JohnsonandClaude Opus 5 fd88c4ff78 A KVM tab: paste an address, get the device's own page
Ham Lab proxies each KVM from its own origin, which is what makes the simple version
possible. A KVM that speaks only plain HTTP would otherwise be blocked outright as mixed
content in a TLS console; served from here it loads, it is behind this login rather than a
second one, and the iframe is same-origin.

Nothing in it knows anything about any particular device. The prefix /kvm/<id>/ is only the
entry point — a device UI asks for its assets by absolute path, which no prefix can rewrite
away, so any request Ham Lab does not serve itself is routed back to whichever KVM the
asking page belongs to, worked out from the Referer and from a cookie when there is no
Referer, as on a WebSocket upgrade. Ham Lab's own routes always match first, so a device can
never shadow the console, and the fallback is gated on a live session.

The list is hub-side on purpose: a KVM earns its keep when the machine is down, which is
when that machine's own Ham Lab cannot answer.

On the keyboard, a page cannot forward keys into an iframe and does not need to — one with
focus receives them directly. Fullscreen plus navigator.keyboard.lock() is what takes
Escape, Tab and Ctrl-W back from the browser; that is Chromium-only and the tab says so
rather than pretending otherwise.

// IP-KVMs: a device's own web page, shown inside Ham Lab.
//
// The whole difficulty is that Ham Lab is served over TLS and a KVM usually is not, so a
// browser refuses to put the device's page in an iframe — mixed content, blocked before
// anything loads. The fix is to serve the device from Ham Lab's own origin, which also
// means it inherits Ham Lab's login instead of needing a second one, and makes the iframe
// same-origin.
//
// Proxying an arbitrary web app under a path prefix is the hard part, and nothing here
// knows anything about any particular device. A device UI asks for its assets by absolute
// path — "/assets/app.js", "/api/whatever" — which a prefix cannot rewrite away. So the
// prefix is only the entry point: any request Ham Lab does not serve itself is routed to
// whichever KVM the asking page belongs to, worked out from the Referer, and from a cookie
// when there is no Referer (a WebSocket upgrade, say). Ham Lab's own routes always win, so
// a device can never shadow the console.
