JakeBreath a93500154c Ask where the backend lives on first start (runtime setup)
Replaces the build-time VITE_API_BASE knob with a runtime setup screen so
one build works same-origin and cross-origin:

- frontend/src/lib/backend.ts stores the API origin in localStorage
  (empty = same origin). DEFAULT_BACKEND_URL is the clearly marked,
  easily edited prefilled default — the matrix.org equivalent; set it to
  your public API origin.
- Production builds show /setup before anything else on first start,
  with a connection test against /health (or leave it blank for this
  server). The route stays reachable from Account -> Backend connection;
  switching backends clears the previous backend's token and reloads.
- Input normalisation: scheme defaulted (https, http for localhost),
  trailing slashes trimmed; a failed cross-origin test points at
  CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS.
- Dev keeps defaulting to the same-origin Vite proxy; /setup can be
  visited manually.

Verified: normalisation cases in Node, /health returns CORS headers for
an allowed origin, tsc/oxlint/build clean.

For anything touching e621 endpoints or payloads (posts, pools, tags, users, favorites, IQDB, blacklists, uploads), consult the e621 OpenAPI spec first: https://e621.wiki/openapi.yaml

Download it once per session (it is ~450 KB YAML), then grep it for the exact path/parameter/schema names instead of guessing:

curl -sL https://e621.wiki/openapi.yaml -o /tmp/opencode/e621-openapi.yaml
grep -n "^  /pools.json" /tmp/opencode/e621-openapi.yaml

Notes learned from the spec (verify before trusting):

  • Index endpoints often return a bare array (e.g. GET /pools.json) while the show endpoint returns the object directly (e.g. GET /pools/{id}.json) — not always wrapped in a named key.
  • Pools index supports search[order] (id_asc, id_desc, name, created_at, post_count), search[name_matches], search[category], search[is_active].
  • Own settings (including user[blacklisted_tags]) are updated with PATCH /users/{id}.json as form-encoded data; /users/me.json returns the user object at the top level.

Project constraints (do not regress):

  • Backend is Django 6 + DRF with token auth (no session auth on the API); MariaDB/Redis come from docker-compose.yml.
  • Deployment will be Docker-based (compose); do not add systemd/cron unit files for scheduling — use the container setup for timers/workers.
  • Same-origin and cross-origin frontends both work: a production build asks for the backend origin on first start (/setup, stored in localStorage; DEFAULT_BACKEND_URL in frontend/src/lib/backend.ts is the prefilled default), the backend allows extra origins via CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS (plus CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS for the admin), and API media URLs are absolute (built from the request host), so signed files load cross-origin too. TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=true is required behind a TLS-terminating proxy.
  • No server-side media processing: the home server cannot handle it. Compression/optimization runs client-side (WebCodecs + WASM in a worker) and the server only applies the result via POST /api/files/J-x/optimize/.
  • Do not use imgdd; perceptual hashing is imagehash server-side.
  • Chat/messaging features are out of scope.
