Replace in-memory atomic AppConfig caching with direct DB queries via db.GetConfig across application and page layers. This simplifies state management and ensures all components always operate on the latest persisted configuration. Key changes: - Remove Application.Config atomic cache and refreshCache mechanism - Eliminate PageCtx.CfgPtr and pass DB handle instead - Replace all cfg reads with db.GetConfig(app.DB) - Update mixer, audio, UI pages, and initialization paths accordingly - Explicitly set AppConfig table name to avoid GORM pluralization issues - Reduce DB connection pooling (SetMaxIdleConns(1)) - Standardize application font to SpaceMonoNerdFont-Regular - Lower default audio volume (1.0 → 0.2) - Add Unicode checkmark glyph to font map Behavioral impact: - Configuration is no longer cached in memory - Every config access now hits the DB (more consistent, slightly more overhead)
Radiantwave & KioskConfig Development & Release Pipeline
Radiant Wave
Full Pipeline Workflow (Detailed)
Development Phase
- Create a new branch for the issue
- Implement the changes for the issue
Integration to dev
- Open a pull request to
dev - CI: Run
nix buildto verify no errors - CI: Run linting and unit tests
- CI: Auto-update
rhemawave-devflake input - CI: Build all
devVMs in parallel (Kiosk, Commercial, RPi) - Merge the pull request to
devafter CI passes
Testing Phase
- Run all VMs (Kiosk, Commercial, RPi) and test all functionality of the application on each VM
- Install
dev-isoto a test machine and verify installation and application functionality
Release to main
- Open a pull request from
devtomain - CI: Build all
mainVMs in parallel (Kiosk, Commercial, RPi) - CI: Build all ISO images in parallel
- CI: Auto-rename ISO images to format
radiantwave-{system}-{YYYY-MM-DD}-{git-hash}.iso - CI: Upload ISO images to file server
- CI: Move old ISO images to
archives/on file server - Merge the pull request to
mainafter CI passes - Tag the release (optional, for traceability)
Automation Opportunities
This section describes which parts of the workflow can be automated via CI/CD, and how.
Group 1: Development Validation (Steps 3-8)
What to automate: PR triggering,nix build, linting, unit tests, flake updates, dev VM buildsHow: GitHub Actions workflow triggered on PR todevWhy: Catch integration errors before manual testing; ensuredevis always buildable
Group 2: Testing (Steps 9-10)
What to automate: VM functionality testing, ISO installation verificationHow: Scripted test suites, automated ISO installation in VMsWhy: Reduce manual toil; increase test coverage and consistency
Group 3: Release Pipeline (Steps 11-16)
What to automate: Main VM/ISO builds, ISO renaming, file server uploads, archivingHow: GitHub Actions workflow triggered on PR tomainWhy: Ensure consistent releases; eliminate human error in naming/uploading
