v2.13.2
tab URL persistence
Active tab is now in the URL. Refresh, bookmark, or share a link to a specific view of the rig.
v2.13.1
boot-init regression fix
Boot initialization had been silently broken since v2.10. Fixed, plus diagnostics now distinguishes 'not installed' from 'inactive' for the systemd services.
v2.13.0
visual identity pass
Geist Sans/Mono, tungsten accent, animated tab indicator, mono eyebrow labels, filament dot. The interface finally feels like the product.
Q4 2025·Shipped
4 items
First public cut. Headless Pi controller with ENTTEC DMX USB Pro support.
QLC+ running in minimal-Qt mode, served over the network on port 9999.
lights.local — zero-config access from any laptop on the studio LAN.
stunnel + iptables + mkcert wired up by lightsctl. Real TLS on a Pi.
Q1 2026·Shipped
3 items
First pass at speaking the rig in plain English. Performance + reliability work underneath.
One-command snapshot of QLC+ workspace + fixtures, with restore.
Chauvet D-Fi Hub 2 signal-path documented end-to-end. Pi → ENTTEC → wireless → fixtures.

Editorial dark interface, mobile breakpoints, Pi-friendly bundle sizes. Foundation for everything that follows.
Single long-lived QLC+ connection on a background asyncio loop. Reads .qxf fixture defs for authoritative channel roles — no more guessing RGB vs warm/cool/amber.
Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at :5001/mcp. Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-capable agent can now drive the rig via structured tool calls.
Group + scene CRUD, blackout, identify_fixture, batch_action. Twelve new MCP tools — the agent can finally manage the workspace, not just play it.
test_dmx, get_logs (allowlisted journals), get_system_info (CPU temp, load, USB, service status). An agent can triage a misbehaving rig without SSHing in.
color_temperature(kelvin, …) with per-fixture-type dispatch — WWA, RGB, RGBA, RGBW. Say '3200K tungsten' and have it Just Work.
palette({ key: 3200, fill: 5600, back: 'magenta' }) — three-point lighting in a single call. Composes mixed Kelvin + color presets.
strobe(rate, intensity?, groups?) — 0–20Hz abstraction over per-fixture strobe channels. No more set_channel with magic offsets.
Time-based programming via QLC+'s native chase engine. Create, start, stop, chain ordered sequences of saved scenes.
QLab / ETC Ion 'cue stack' model. Ordered cues at absolute timestamps — press GO at the moment the track starts.
Q3 2026·Shipped
3 items
Every Tier 1–3 capability now lives in the browser. Full feature parity with MCP — anything an agent can do, a human can do in the web UI.
Full Claude/ChatGPT conversation built into the web UI. 48 MCP tools exposed to the model. Speak the rig directly — no separate desktop client.
Comprehensive mobile redesign. Installable as a native app via Add-to-Home-Screen. 180-test pytest suite plus GitHub Actions CI running three parallel jobs on every push.

Q1 2027·Planned
4 items
Map physical faders and pads (Akai MIDI Mix, Launchpad, etc.) to fixtures, groups, scenes, and chases. Top priority for the next thrust.
Talk to TouchOSC and QLab over OSC. Tablet-as-control-surface, plus integration with audio cue stacks already in use.
Shared password + session cookie. Stop relying on 'it's only on the studio LAN'.
End-to-end coverage across Flask, MCP, and cue playback — not just unit tests against mocks.
Q2 2027·Planned
5 items
Beat-pulse and BPM-synced chases driven by audio input — for music videos and live performance.
Drag-and-drop timeline for arranging cues against an audio track. The missing tool for show building.
JSON logs, /healthz with USB/DMX/QLC+/MCP rollup. Observability that survives a long shoot day.
Scheduled snapshots of fixtures, scenes, chases, cue lists. Rotated, restorable from the web UI.
Agentic chat that remembers prior conversations and the state it left the rig in.
Beyond·Future
5 items
Automatic failover between LLM providers. Production redundancy for the AI layer.
Develop against a virtual rig — no Pi, no ENTTEC, no fixtures required.
Tap a key in time with the music. Chase steps lock to the implied BPM.
Drag fixtures onto a stage map. Spatial reasoning for the agent + a faster mental model for humans.
Thumbnails for every saved scene, generated server-side from the channel values.
