With the radagast server flipped to OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=-1, /api/ps
returns expires_at as year 4001 (effectively forever), which the
old code rendered as "Hot: gemma2:9b — unloads in 17500000h". Add
a 7-day threshold to formatRemaining(); anything beyond that just
shows the model name with no expiry suffix.
The vim clipboard integration was unreliable across browsers
(library "+" register broken on Firefox; custom navigator.clipboard
actions worked on Chrome but hit chip prompts and Firefox config
edge cases). The modal dropdown layer added more state than it
saved keystrokes. Pulling both back out.
What remains of the vim work:
- CodeMirror + @replit/codemirror-vim in the input buffer
(i/Esc, hjkl, word/line motions, yy/p via vim's internal
register, undo, /, :)
- Shift-H / Shift-L focus navigation across controls, including
the H/L override inside the editor so it works from any focus
- Replace Vim.map("...", "\"+...", ...) with custom Vim.defineAction
handlers calling navigator.clipboard directly. The library's "+"
register implementation doesn't reliably write on Firefox.
Limitation: only yy/Y/visual-y reach system clipboard; bare
y<motion> still uses vim's internal register.
- Flip dropdown modal: default NORMAL (j/k arrows), `/` or `i`
enters search. Listener moved to document capture phase so closed
dropdowns receive keydown on Firefox.
- y/Y/yy and visual y now route through vim's "+" register, which
copies to the system clipboard via the synchronous document
.execCommand("copy") path — no permission prompt.
- p/P also remapped to "+ register for symmetry; replaces my custom
navigator.clipboard.readText() action. Browser may still show a
permission chip on first paste; granting once makes it silent.
- Source / target / model dropdowns get modal vim-style nav:
default is native typeahead, Esc → normal mode (accent border),
j/k move selectedIndex, i and / return to search, blur resets.
Disabled on coarse-pointer devices.
Vim's default p/P pastes from its internal unnamed register, which
is useless when the text to translate lives in another app's
clipboard. Override both in normal mode to read navigator.clipboard
.readText() and insert at (after) or before the cursor.
Caveats: requires browser clipboard permission (prompted on first
use), HTTPS or localhost. Both already satisfied — finrod is served
over the wildcard TLS cert.
The previous version only handled Shift-H/L when focus was outside
the editor; inside vim normal mode they were viewport top/bottom
and required Esc+Tab to escape. Now Vim.mapCommand overrides H/L
in normal-mode context to call the same moveFocus(±1) helper, so
the shortcut works uniformly regardless of focus position.
- .cm-editor pinned to font-size 1rem so the input matches the
output pane (CodeMirror 6 defaults smaller)
- refreshLoaded(isInitial=true) on first load picks the hot model
as the dropdown default — avoids the 5-15s disk reload on the
first translation. Subsequent refreshes don't override the user's
manual selection.
- document-level Shift-H / Shift-L cycle focus across controls
(source → target → model → editor → button), suppressed when
focus is inside CodeMirror so vim's viewport H/L still work.
- Replace the plain <textarea> with a CodeMirror 6 EditorView that
has @replit/codemirror-vim attached. Loaded from esm.sh, so no
build step — finrod stays no-bundler.
- vim() extension is conditionally omitted on coarse-pointer devices
(phones, tablets) where modal editing without a hardware Esc key
is unusable and IME composition fights the keymap.
- Ctrl-/Cmd-Enter shortcut and the typing-debounce that refreshes
the "Hot:" indicator both migrate to CodeMirror's keymap and
updateListener APIs respectively.
- Editor styled to match the existing .output pane.
CHANGELOG: note under [Unreleased].
- /api/loaded backend endpoint proxies Ollama /api/ps and returns
{models: [{name, expires_at}]}
- Status line under the controls shows "Hot: gemma2:9b — unloads in 4m"
with a glowing orange dot, or "No model loaded" in muted style
- Loaded models in the dropdown get a "● " prefix
- Refreshes on page load, after every translation, and 500ms after the
user pauses typing in the input box
- app.py: /api/models filtered to gemma+aya, /api/translate streams
NDJSON from Ollama with stream:true, /healthz for k8s probes
- static/index.html: dark-mode UI, three dropdowns (source/target/model),
live token streaming with spinner+pulse+timer indicators
- Dockerfile: two-stage uv build, slim Python 3.13 runtime
- .gitea/workflows/build.yml: multi-arch (amd64+arm64) build, push to
Scaleway registry on push to main
- build.sh: manual fallback if Gitea Actions isn't available
