Building this site requires Hugo (not yet included in the README or in the
installation of dependencies in the Makefile). Still very much work in
progress, this is basically the [Geekdocks theme][1] + one page.

Fix an issue with the hourly auto-reloading, where the `reload()` call
somehow was called on "an object that doesn't implement the Location
interface".
Do a refresh of the web interface once per hour. This is just to make sure
that long-lived displays (like the TV in the hallway at Blender HQ) pick
up on HTML/JS/CSS changes eventually.
Add a "Last Rendered" view to the webapp.
The Manager now stores (in the database) which job was the last
recipient of a rendered image, and serves that to the appropriate
OpenAPI endpoint.
A new SocketIO subscription + accompanying room makes it possible for
the web interface to receive all rendered images (if they survive the
queue, which discards images when it gets too full).
It doesn't update automatically yet (still needs SocketIO notifications),
and there is no check yet for whether there is actually any last-rendered
image at all, but at least there is a component that shows the image.
Having the web API client override the HTTP port for the API URL is fine
during development (when the web content is served through the Vite
devserver), but not in production.
Vue Router generates URLs for which there are no static files on the
filesystem (like `/jobs/{job ID}`). To make this work, the webapp's
`index.html` has to be served for such requests. The client-side JavaScript
then figures out how things fit together, and can even render a nice 404
page if necessary.
This shouldn't happen for non-webapp URLs, though. Because of this, the
entire webapp (including the "serve `index.html` if file not found logic)
is moved to a `/app/` base URL.
`make flamenco-manager` now also builds the webapp and embeds the static
files into the binary.
`make flamenco-manager_race` does NOT rebuild the static web files, to
help speed up of debug cycles. Run `make webapp-static` to rebuild the
webapp itself, if necessary, or run a separate web development server with
`yarn --cwd web/app run dev --host`.
When data is updated, resize columns in the job/task/worker tables. For
example, status change requests of Workers require more space, for example
going from `awake` to `awake → offline`.
Having only the status dot was hard to read. It requires you to learn &
remember the different colours, or to mouse-over and wait to see the
tooltip. For accessibility, we shouldn't be using just the colour to
convey information in the interface.
The 720px was almost filling up the entire height, making it hard to add
anything new at the top. Soon it should be auto-resizing anyway, making
this less relevant.
UI/UX needs improvements, but there now are some buttons to manage Workers.
They request forced status changes, so nothing lazy yet. Still have to
consider how to include that in the UI. Could probably follow the
Flamenco 2 Manager design.
