anoracleofra-code c81d81ec41 feat: real-time gate messages via SSE + faster push/pull intervals
- Add Server-Sent Events endpoint at GET /api/mesh/gate/stream that
  broadcasts ALL gate events to connected frontends (privacy: no
  per-gate subscriptions, clients filter locally)
- Hook SSE broadcast into all gate event entry points: local append,
  peer push receiver, and pull loop
- Reduce push/pull intervals from 30s to 10s for faster relay sync
- Add useGateSSE hook for frontend EventSource integration
- GateView + MeshChat use SSE for instant refresh, polling demoted
  to 30s fallback

Latency: same-node instant, cross-node ~10s avg (was ~34s)

ShadowBroker Frontend

Next.js 16 dashboard with MapLibre GL, Cesium, and Framer Motion.

Development

npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:3000

API URL Configuration

The frontend needs to reach the backend (default port 8000). Resolution order:

  1. NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL env var — if set, used as-is (build-time, baked by Next.js)
  2. Server-side (SSR) — falls back to http://localhost:8000
  3. Client-side (browser) — auto-detects using window.location.hostname:8000

Common scenarios

Scenario Action needed
Local dev (localhost:3000 + localhost:8000) None — auto-detected
LAN access (192.168.x.x:3000) None — auto-detected from browser hostname
Public deploy (same host, port 8000) None — auto-detected
Backend on different port (e.g. 9096) Set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://host:9096 before build
Backend on different host Set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://backend-host:8000 before build
Behind reverse proxy (e.g. /api path) Set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://yourdomain.com before build

Setting the variable

# Shell (Linux/macOS)
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://myserver:8000 npm run build

# PowerShell (Windows)
$env:NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL="http://myserver:8000"; npm run build

# Docker Compose (set in .env file next to docker-compose.yml)
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://myserver:8000

Note: This is a build-time variable. Changing it requires rebuilding the frontend.

Theming

Dark mode is the default. A light/dark toggle is available in the left panel toolbar. Theme preference is persisted in localStorage as sb-theme and applied via data-theme attribute on <html>. CSS variables in globals.css define all structural colors for both themes.
