Refinement pass on top of the validated v1.2 base.
Hardening / quick fixes
- Caddyfile.tpl: CSP / HSTS / X-Frame / Referrer-Policy / Permissions-Policy,
1 MiB request body cap, X-Forwarded-For pass-through; stock-Caddy compatible.
- auth.py: STUDENT_MAX_AGE 1y -> 30d.
- bootstrap.sh: stage 5 prepends `git config --add safe.directory` so the
re-bootstrap path no longer 'detected dubious ownership' faults.
- admin.js: drop the misleading `closedPayload?.state || session.state`
shim; state derives from session only.
Anti-cheat
- New `student_events` audit table; new POST /api/session/{sid}/event for
blur / visibility_hidden / focus / visibility_visible. quiz.js debounces
events at 1.5s and uses sendBeacon for visibility_hidden so the event
survives a navigation. Counts surface in admin presence + CSV export.
- First-claim-wins on join: add_participant raises DuplicateStudentId on
PK violation; route returns 409 + records a duplicate_join audit event
with attempted name + IP + UA. Admin dashboard surfaces a per-row red
badge for hits on real participants and a top-of-page alert for orphan
attempts.
- DELETE /admin/api/students/{id} as the recovery hatch: clears the
participant + submissions, kicks active WS sockets so a stale cookie
cannot continue submitting. quiz.js surfaces the FastAPI detail message
in the join form so users see the 'already in use' guidance.
Presence panel
- New presence_update WS message; in-process presence map keyed on
student_id tracks ws_count + last_seen_ms. Admin dashboard renders
per-student rows: connected/idle/dropped dot, blur+hidden+duplicate
badges, 'answered current Q' tick, and a clear-student button.
Projector view (public, read-only)
- /projector/?sid=..., GET /api/session/{sid}/projector, WS
/ws/projector/{sid}. Single self-contained projector_state snapshot
pushed on every state change. Public leaderboard strips student_id;
QR rendered server-side as data: URL (CSP-compliant).
- Includes per-Q answer histogram, 8-bucket response-time distribution,
10-bucket score distribution.
- static/projector.{html,css,js}: editorial-broadside design — masthead,
registration crosses, conic-gradient countdown ring, SVG stepped-area
score distribution with median tick, leaderboard row-stagger. Inherits
light/dark tokens from style.css; honours prefers-reduced-motion. No
scroll at 1366x768 / 1920x1080 / 3440x1440.
Tests
- tests/test_anti_cheat.py: blur logging + CSV count, unknown-kind 422,
unauthenticated event 401, duplicate-join 409 + audit, admin
clear-student happy + 404, server-side submit lockout regression.
- tests/test_projector.py: snapshot shape, leaderboard student_id
redaction, WS push on state change, 404 for unknown sid, page redirect
when no sid.
- Existing tests updated for the new presence_update snapshot frame +
CSV header columns + first-claim-wins refusal of re-key.
57/57 pytest green; smoke-tested locally end-to-end.
Local API stress (lib.mjs / api_stress.mjs):
- setupSession now does login -> /admin/api/reset and returns sid="main".
Drops the dead /admin/api/quizzes + /admin/api/sessions calls left over
from the multi-quiz codex era.
- bootServer writes the fixture pool (STRESS_POOL by default) to a tmp
file and passes QUIZ_POOL_PATH so the v1.2 server has a session at
startup.
- happyPath: drop the post-connect lobby_update wait (race with snapshot
dispatch) and stop double-driving the lifecycle (next() already opens
the next question, an explicit open() afterwards is a no-op).
- cross_session: rewritten as "cookie not honored on a non-existent sid"
since v1.2 hosts a single canonical session.
Live accuracy stress (live_accuracy.mjs):
- Per-student lobby-snapshot timeout (12s) with WS error/close rejection,
so a stalled handshake no longer hangs Promise.all until the outer
shell timeout (which produced the exit=124 cycles).
- Open all student WSs in parallel (mirrors what real students do); the
batch-of-8 throttle was masking the question we wanted answered.
- Instructor WS open also bounded by a 15s race so any failure surfaces
as actionable error text instead of a silent stall.
Bootstrap (deploy/bootstrap.sh):
- Stage 1 provisions a 2GB swap file (idempotent) with vm.swappiness=10.
1GB-RAM ECS instances OOM-kill uvicorn under WS-burst start-of-class
pressure; swap absorbs the spike without affecting steady state.
- Pool seeding prefers examples/demo10_pool.json over the 2-question
example so a fresh deploy boots with a usable demo.
Pool fixture (examples/demo10_pool.json):
- 10-question generic-knowledge demo pool, gitignore exception added.
Backend simplification:
- The server now loads ONE pool JSON from $QUIZ_POOL_PATH at startup and
upserts a single canonical session. The session id comes from the pool
JSON's optional "session_id" field, falling back to $QUIZ_SESSION_ID.
- The multi-quiz / multi-session CRUD API is gone:
DELETED GET/POST /admin/api/quizzes
DELETED POST /admin/api/quizzes/upload
DELETED GET/POST /admin/api/sessions
DELETED GET /admin/login (HTML stub)
DELETED GET /admin/api/sessions/{sid}/csv (replaced by /admin/api/csv)
Replaced with a single-session control surface:
GET /admin/ — serves admin.html unconditionally
GET /admin/api/state — admin-gated; pool meta + state + QR + join URL
POST /admin/api/reset — admin-gated; wipe submissions + back to lobby
POST /admin/logout — clear admin cookie
GET /admin/api/csv — single-session results
WS /ws/instructor/{sid} — kept; new commands "next" + "reset"
- Instructor "Next" button is now a single state-driving command
(RoomManager.advance_to_next): from lobby it opens Q0; from question_open
it closes the current Q and opens the next; from question_closed it
opens the next; if past the last question it ends the session.
- New RoomManager.reset wipes submissions, participants, and per-question
state, then broadcasts a clean lobby.
- Student GET / now redirects to /?sid=<canonical> when no sid is given,
so the QR / share URL is fully deterministic.
Frontend rewrite (functional baseline; visual polish to follow):
- /admin/ is now a single SPA: GET /admin/api/state decides login form
vs dashboard. No separate /admin/login URL bar.
- Admin dashboard is state-driven with one primary action per state.
QR code, join URL, and live participant list are always visible on the
left so the operator can leave the page on a projector.
- Student answer buttons are big and tappable; reveal screen highlights
correct/wrong choice + shows score, total, and rank.
- Static admin/student SPAs share a CSS palette with light/dark support.
Tests rewritten around the single canonical session id.
The auto-bootstrapped session lets each test fixture skip the old
quiz/session creation dance. 39/39 tests pass.
Cleanup:
- Deleted CODEX_PROMPT.md, IMPLEMENTATION_REPORT.md, NOTES.md, SPEC.md,
static/observer.html (obsolete codex-build artifacts and the unused
observer view).
- .gitignore now blocks /pool.json (the runtime file the operator drops
on the server) and the leftover .codex_done / codex_run.log / etc.
- bootstrap.sh seeds /opt/quiz/pool.json from examples/pool_example.json
on first deploy so a fresh box reaches a usable state without manual
intervention; .env now includes QUIZ_POOL_PATH.
Unconditional 'exec < /dev/tty' broke non-interactive SSH invocations
where /dev/tty isn't openable. Move the reattach into the env-prompt
branch and skip it cleanly if /root/.quiz.env was pre-populated, with
a clear error if both stdin and /root/.quiz.env are missing.
One-shot deploy for fresh Ubuntu 24.04 root SSH:
curl -fsSL https://gitea.ahkhan.me/apps/quiz/raw/branch/master/deploy/bootstrap.sh | bash
bootstrap.sh: idempotent stage-by-stage installer for Caddy, Python venv,
quiz system user, repo clone to /opt/quiz, env-var prompts, systemd unit,
Caddyfile, and a healthz check. Reattaches /dev/tty so curl|bash can read
the admin password interactively.
quiz.service: uvicorn under the quiz system user (no shell, no SSH),
ProtectSystem=full, ProtectHome=true, PrivateTmp=true, NoNewPrivileges=true.
Caddyfile.tpl: reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8001 with auto Let's Encrypt;
DOMAIN substituted at install time.
examples/pool_example.json: generic demo pool, schema reference only.
README rewritten around the deploy flow + class-day lifecycle.
