Web-based Modbus relay control system for managing 8-channel relay modules over TCP.

> **⚠️ Development Status**: This project is in early development. Core features are currently being implemented following a specification-driven approach.

## Overview

STA will provide a modern web interface for controlling Modbus-compatible relay devices, eliminating the need for specialized industrial software. The goal is to enable browser-based relay control with real-time status updates.

## Current Status

### Phase 1 Complete - Foundation
- ✅ Monorepo structure (backend + frontend at root)
- ✅ Rust web server with Poem 3.1 framework
- ✅ Configuration system (YAML + environment variables)
- ✅ Modbus TCP and relay settings structures
- ✅ Health check and metadata API endpoints
- ✅ OpenAPI documentation with Swagger UI
- ✅ Rate limiting middleware
- ✅ SQLite schema and repository for relay labels
- ✅ Vue 3 + TypeScript frontend scaffolding with Vite
- ✅ Type-safe API client generation from OpenAPI specs

### Phase 0.5 Complete - CORS Configuration & Production Security
- ✅ T009: CorsSettings struct with comprehensive unit tests (5 tests)
- ✅ T010: CorsSettings implementation with restrictive fail-safe defaults
- ✅ T011: Development YAML configuration with permissive CORS
- ✅ T012: Production YAML configuration with restrictive CORS
- ✅ T013: From<CorsSettings> for Cors trait unit tests (6 tests)
- ✅ T014: From<CorsSettings> for Cors implementation with security validation
- ✅ T015: Middleware chain integration using From trait
- ✅ T016: Integration tests for CORS headers (9 comprehensive tests)

#### Key CORS Features Implemented
- Environment-specific CORS configuration (development vs production)
- Wildcard origin support for development (`allowed_origins: ["*"]`)
- Multiple specific origins for production
- Credentials support for Authelia authentication
- Security validation (prevents wildcard + credentials)
- Configurable preflight cache duration
- Hardcoded secure methods and headers
- Structured logging for CORS configuration
- Comprehensive test coverage (15 tests total)

### Phase 2 Planned - Domain Layer
- 📋 Domain types with Type-Driven Development (RelayId, RelayState, RelayLabel)
- 📋 100% test coverage for domain layer

### Planned - Phases 3-8
- 📋 Modbus TCP client with tokio-modbus (Phase 3)
- 📋 Mock controller for testing (Phase 3)
- 📋 Health monitoring service (Phase 3)
- 📋 US1: Monitor & toggle relay states - MVP (Phase 4)
- 📋 US2: Bulk relay controls (Phase 5)
- 📋 US3: Health status display (Phase 6)
- 📋 US4: Relay labeling (Phase 7)
- 📋 Production deployment (Phase 8)

See [tasks.md](specs/001-modbus-relay-control/tasks.md) for detailed implementation roadmap (102 tasks across 9 phases).

## Architecture

**Current:**
- **Backend**: Rust 2024 with Poem web framework
- **Configuration**: YAML-based with environment variable overrides
- **API**: RESTful HTTP with OpenAPI documentation
- **CORS**: Production-ready configurable middleware with security validation
- **Middleware Chain**: Rate Limiting → CORS → Data injection

**Planned:**
- **Modbus Integration**: tokio-modbus for Modbus TCP communication
- **Frontend**: Vue 3 with TypeScript
- **Deployment**: Backend on Raspberry Pi, frontend on Cloudflare Pages
- **Access**: Traefik reverse proxy with Authelia authentication
- **Persistence**: SQLite for relay labels and configuration

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Rust 1.83+ (edition 2024)
- Just command runner

### Development

```bash
# Run development server
just run

# Run tests
just test

# Run linter
just lint

# Format code
just format

# Watch mode with bacon
bacon          # clippy-all (default)
bacon test     # test watcher
```

### Configuration

Edit `backend/settings/base.yaml` for Modbus device settings:

```yaml
modbus:
  host: "192.168.0.200"
  port: 502
  slave_id: 0
  timeout_secs: 5

relay:
  label_max_length: 50
```

Override with environment variables:
```bash
APP__MODBUS__HOST=192.168.1.100 cargo run
```

#### CORS Configuration

**Development Mode** (frontend on `localhost:5173`):

```yaml
# backend/settings/development.yaml
cors:
  allowed_origins:
    - "*"  # Permissive for local development
  allow_credentials: false  # MUST be false with wildcard
  max_age_secs: 3600
```

**Production Mode** (frontend on Cloudflare Pages):

```yaml
# backend/settings/production.yaml
cors:
  allowed_origins:
    - "https://sta.yourdomain.com"  # Specific origin only
  allow_credentials: true  # Required for Authelia authentication
  max_age_secs: 3600
```

**Security Notes:**
- Wildcard `"*"` origin is **only allowed with `allow_credentials: false`**
- Production **must** use specific origins (e.g., `https://sta.example.com`)
- Multiple origins are supported as a list
- Credentials must be enabled for Authelia authentication to work

**Hardcoded Security Defaults:**
- **Methods**: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS (all required methods)
- **Headers**: content-type, authorization (minimum for API + auth)

**Fail-Safe Defaults:**
- `allowed_origins: []` (restrictive - no origins allowed)
- `allow_credentials: false`
- `max_age_secs: 3600` (1 hour)

See [CORS Configuration Guide](docs/cors-configuration.md) for complete documentation.

## API Documentation

The server provides OpenAPI documentation via Swagger UI:
- Swagger UI: `http://localhost:3100/`
- OpenAPI Spec: `http://localhost:3100/specs`

**Current Endpoints:**
- `GET /api/health` - Health check endpoint
- `GET /api/meta` - Application metadata

**Planned Endpoints (see spec):**
- `GET /api/relays` - List all relay states
- `POST /api/relays/{id}/toggle` - Toggle relay state
- `POST /api/relays/all/on` - Turn all relays on
- `POST /api/relays/all/off` - Turn all relays off
- `PUT /api/relays/{id}/label` - Set relay label
