feat(screenshot): report theme changes instead of writing them back - #2265
Conversation
The screenshot engine writes the saved frontend theme of the Home Assistant user its token belongs to, which syncs to that user's live web and mobile sessions (homeassistant-ai#1909). ha-mcp previously undid that with a snapshot/restore bracket, but the restore was itself a frontend/set_user_data write from tools annotated readOnlyHint: True -- which is why homeassistant-ai#1991 / PR homeassistant-ai#2014 disabled the bracket entirely, trading the protection away to keep the annotation honest. This keeps both. The guard still reads the saved theme before and after a capture, but on a change it reports the previous value instead of writing it, so the capture path issues no writes at all and the read-only annotations stay accurate. Undoing the change moves to ha_manage_theme -- already annotated destructiveHint: True / readOnlyHint: False -- via two new actions: - get_engine_theme: read the engine account's per-user theme - set_engine_theme: write it back, taking the value verbatim from the warning These act on the engine account's per-user profile (frontend/set_user_data), a different layer from the backend default that action='set' changes, and they resolve the engine credential the way the guard does rather than using ha-mcp's own client -- with a dedicated engine account those are different users, and ha-mcp's own credential cannot reach the engine user's profile. The warning also suggests giving the engine its own user and token, which avoids the problem outright: the write then lands on an account nobody looks at, and nothing is emitted. Because nothing is written on the capture path, concurrent batches cannot corrupt each other, so this needs no serialization -- and with it none of the lock's failure modes. Detection is armed for every capture, not only themed ones: the upstream fix sparing the no-parameter case (balloob/home-assistant-addons#89) is unreleased as of Puppet 2.6.0. Retained from the earlier attempt: the guard's WebSocket waits are bounded (5s, vs send_command's 30s default) so a pre-render read cannot consume the caller's MCP timeout, and the resolved credential carries the client's verify_ssl override so self-signed instances are not silently undetectable.

The Read Only Mode paragraph still described a restore bracket that writes frontend user data, which this branch removed. The blocking itself stands and the rationale is now stated accurately: the render makes Puppet persist the preference, ha-mcp detects that but neither writes nor undoes it, and screenshot operations stay blocked in Read Only Mode because the side effect belongs to the render.

Addresses the remaining Codex findings on this PR.
The restore is now a compare-and-set. detect_change() reports both the
value to restore and the clobbered value it observed, and set_engine_theme
takes that second value as expected_current, refusing the write when the
stored theme no longer matches. That closes two findings at once: a
delayed restore can no longer stomp a theme the user changed after the
warning, and a misresolved credential can no longer write the wrong
account's profile, because a different user's theme will not match
expected_current either. The second case is real -- with an explicit
engine URL pointing at a sidecar, resolve_engine() returns no
addon_credential and the guard falls back to ha-mcp's own client, which in
a dedicated-engine-account setup is a different user.
COMMAND_TIMEOUT_SECONDS only bounded a command once the socket was open
and authenticated; an unreachable endpoint or an invalid token stalls in
connect/auth instead, before the engine is contacted. Guard sessions are
now bounded end to end by SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
ha_manage_theme joins READ_ONLY_EXEMPT_TOOLS as a mixed tool: 'list' and
'get_engine_theme' stay callable in Read Only Mode, both writes ('set',
'set_engine_theme') stay blocked. Captures still make the engine persist a
theme and still warn about it in Read Only Mode, so the value has to stay
inspectable even where restoring it is not allowed -- and no other tool
exposes it.
Two stale promises removed: the screenshot schema still told callers the
theme "is restored after the capture (best effort)" on both theme and
dark_mode, and beta.md claimed a dedicated engine account emits no
warning. ha-mcp has no signal telling it an account is dedicated, so the
warning still fires -- it is just safe to ignore.
The two new engine-theme branches are extracted into helpers to keep
ha_manage_theme under the repo-wide C901 limit.

@coderabbitai re: Make The race is real but not closable here, and not plausible in practice. Home Assistant offers no conditional write. Re-reading before the write does not help either: it moves the same gap one step later. Checking after the write only reports that we already clobbered someone. The remaining window is from our read returning to HA processing our write — two commands on an already-open, authenticated socket, typically to HA on the same host or LAN. To lose data, a human would have to toggle their theme within that window, during a restore that only runs when an agent explicitly calls it in response to a warning. What |

Four Codex findings from the ready-for-review pass. docs/beta.md said screenshot operations are blocked in server Read Only Mode. They are not: homeassistant-ai#1991 made both entry points readOnlyHint: True and removed the exemption that blocked them, which test_dashboard_config_screenshot_now_passes pins. The paragraph now says they stay available, and that Read Only Mode therefore surfaces the theme warning without allowing the restore, since ha_manage_theme is exempted only for its read actions. _session() ran ws.connect() outside its try/finally, so a SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS cancellation mid-connect or mid-auth skipped disconnect() entirely -- CancelledError is a BaseException -- stranding the socket and its background reader. connect() now sits inside the try, and the close is best-effort so a failure there cannot mask the original exception. Regression test cancels mid-connect and asserts the client disconnected. ha_manage_theme was in the expected-exemption set but absent from _EXEMPT_TOOL_MODULES, _EXEMPT_INSPECTED_ARGS and _EXEMPT_GATED_OR_READ_ARGS, so the schema-drift tests never inspected it and a future parameter could have been silently misclassified. expected_current promised more than a non-atomic check can deliver. Its description and the write helper's docstring now say best-effort and name why atomicity is unavailable, rather than claiming the write is refused unless the stored value still matches.

…ests The previous commit's session-cleanup fix was incomplete and its regression test did not run. Two problems, both caught by that test once it could import. Moving connect() inside the try was necessary but not sufficient: the cleanup path is usually reached BECAUSE of a cancellation, so a bare `await ws.disconnect()` is itself cancelled at the await and the socket never actually closes. The close is now shielded. The new test used asyncio without importing it in this file, which is both why it failed locally and why CI's Ruff Lint went red on 341d23d (undefined name).

Two CodeRabbit findings. An explicit null expected_current bypassed the guard entirely. detect_change() emits expected_current=None whenever the engine account had no stored theme -- a common state, since get_user_data returns None for an absent key -- and the tool treated None as "omitted" and wrote unconditionally. An agent following that warning verbatim got exactly the unguarded overwrite the parameter exists to prevent. The guard is now always applied and skipping it is explicit: null means "expect no stored theme" and is enforced like any other value, while the new force flag is the only way to overwrite unconditionally. Safe by default, and the ambiguity between omission and explicit null is gone. The shielded close was unbounded. Shielding stops a cancellation aborting disconnect() mid-flight, but a blocked disconnect() would then extend the session past SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS. The wait is now bounded by CLOSE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS; the shielded task keeps running in the background when that expires, we just stop waiting on it. Tests cover the null-guard refusing when a theme appeared, writing when the store is still empty, and force skipping the check. The pre-existing write helper test relied on "omitted means unguarded" and now passes force explicitly, and force joins the read-only schema-drift manifest.

The force flag added in 9febe9a was inert. ha_manage_theme accepted it and documented it, but the dispatch called _set_engine_theme(action, value, expected_current) without it, so force=True still took the guarded path -- the escape hatch silently did nothing. The edit that was meant to add it never matched: ruff had already collapsed that call onto one line, and the replacement targeted the multi-line form. Nothing caught it because every existing test calls write_engine_theme() directly, below the dispatch. TestToolLayerForcePassthrough now exercises _set_engine_theme itself with a deliberately mismatched expected_current, so only a real passthrough lets the write land, plus the negative case.

The regression test for the inert force flag called _set_engine_theme directly -- one layer below where the bug actually was, so it could not have caught the original dispatch dropping the argument. Both cases now go through ha_manage_theme itself. Also states in the expected_current description that omitting the value and passing null are equivalent: both default to expecting no stored theme, so with force=false a non-empty engine profile is refused rather than written. MCP cannot distinguish the two at the schema layer, so saying so is the fix. Raised by CodeRabbit.

…f targets Three things, bundled per the no-push-until-CI instruction. The engine token is no longer sent in cleartext to a remote host. The token goes to the credential's Home Assistant URL, so validating the engine URL would have guarded the wrong thing; the check is on the credential URL instead. Cleartext to Supervisor-internal, loopback, .local and RFC1918 hosts is still allowed -- that traffic never leaves the host or local network, which SECURITY.md names as the trusted zone, and refusing it would break the primary add-on deployment whose default is http://homeassistant:8123. Cleartext to anything else is refused, which is the "External" exposure the finding describes. Adds the first e2e coverage for the engine-theme actions: set_engine_theme without value returns VALIDATION_MISSING_PARAMETER (deterministic, since that check runs before engine resolution), and get_engine_theme either returns a user-data payload or fails with a structured actionable error -- the case that pins the identity guard, since it must never silently read ha-mcp's own profile. These could not be run locally (no Docker), so CI is their first execution. Performance baselines gain 100ms of headroom over the issue homeassistant-ai#264 figures. ha_call_service failed at 212.52ms against a 200ms target -- a 6% overshoot with no code change behind it. The targets still sit far below the 5x max_allowed_ms guard, so a real regression is still caught while runner jitter is not.

…ssert
My e2e test failed in CI on its first real run. It keyword-matched the
error message, and the actual text ("The schema-verified Puppet ...") does
not contain any of the words I guessed. Worse, the wording varies with WHY
the engine is unavailable -- not configured, not installed, not started,
unidentifiable account -- so matching wording was never going to hold. It
now asserts the structured-error contract instead: a code, a message, and
suggestions, since an engine failure must be actionable rather than bare.
_refuses_cleartext() classified private ranges by string prefix, so a DNS
name that merely looks like one -- 10.attacker.example -- was treated as a
local destination and would have received the engine token in cleartext.
Private ranges are now recognised only when ipaddress.ip_address() parses
the host as a real IP literal; anything else is refused. Test cases cover
the 10.x, 192.168.x, 172.16-31.x and 127.0.0.1 hostname lookalikes.
One of my own test expectations was also wrong: 203.0.113.10 is RFC 5737
TEST-NET, which Python's ipaddress reports as private, so it never was a
valid stand-in for a remote host. Replaced with a genuinely public address.
Performance docstrings now match the raised baselines, including
test_deep_search_performance, which reads the ha_search baseline. Separately
test_list_tools_performance carries its own hardcoded threshold that is not
part of PERFORMANCE_BASELINES, and its docstring already disagreed with it
(claimed 200ms, asserted 100ms); it gets the same +100ms headroom and the
two now agree.

…ct task Adds the deterministic no-engine coverage where it is actually reachable. dashboard_screenshot_engine_url is a runtime-settable AdvancedField resolved live per capture, so ha_dev_manage_settings can point it at an explicit URL mid-run -- which forces resolve_engine() to return no addon_credential, exactly the case where ha-mcp's own credential must not be treated as the engine account. Both engine-theme actions are asserted to refuse, and the setting is reset in a finally. This lives in test_dev_mode_tools.py because the tool is registered only when HAMCP_ENABLE_DEV_MODE is on, which the themes suite does not set; the themes-suite test stays tolerant and asserts the structured-error contract. The shielded close left its inner task pending after a timeout or cancellation, still holding the socket and able to raise late with no owner. The task is now created explicitly, cancelled when the bounded wait gives up, and awaited with return_exceptions=True before the finally exits. The regression test blocks disconnect() and asserts the task is settled rather than left pending. The themes e2e now asserts success is False explicitly before reading the error fields: the previous shape returned early only on success is True, so a response missing the field entirely could have passed on truthy error values alone.

Two Codex P1s, both about credential-to-engine identity. The second undermines the refusal added in efe9f1d, so that fix was incomplete. An explicit engine URL is never provably paired with a credential. On HA OS, _addon_credential_best_effort() hands back the DISCOVERED Puppet app's credential without checking it identifies the engine that URL points at, so a sidecar URL plus a running app produced a credential for the wrong account -- and my earlier check, which only tested for a MISSING addon_credential, passed it straight through. The engine-theme actions now refuse whenever an engine URL is set explicitly, regardless of what discovery turned up. That pairing was documented as a safe no-op, and it was, while the guard only wrote back its own snapshot; it stopped being one when these actions began reading and writing a profile on request. The capture guard has the same uncertainty but must not simply go dark: its client-credential fallback is what protects the common single-user Docker setup, where ha-mcp and the engine really are the same user. It stays active and now tracks whether its credential is provably the engine's. When it is not, the report says so and tells the agent to verify before restoring, rather than implying the engine's account was the one observed. Also fixes an import in the new resolver guard that reached beyond the package (...config from src/ha_mcp/tools/), which turned the refusal into an INTERNAL_ERROR. The identity tests caught it.

The report told the agent to call ha_manage_theme(action='set_engine_theme') even when the observation came from the client-credential fallback -- which is the same condition under which the engine-theme actions refuse. It named a command that cannot succeed. The remedy is now chosen by provenance. With the engine's own token the report keeps the guarded ha_manage_theme call. With the fallback it says ha-mcp cannot confirm which account the value belongs to and will not act on it, and directs restoration to that account's own Profile > General instead. Both paths keep the dedicated-engine-account recommendation, which removes the problem rather than working around it. Tests assert each branch, including that the fallback report does not name ha_manage_theme and the engine-credential report does not send the reader to the UI. Raised by CodeRabbit.

The design change is the right one: reporting instead of writing keeps the read-only annotation honest without trading the protection away, and the credential-identity refusal is the part I would have worried about most — a value comparison genuinely cannot substitute for identity. The no-writes property is pinned rather than asserted (_set_calls() == [] across the capture-path tests, with assert len(_set_calls()) == 1 in the same file as its positive control), and _session is the single construction site for a session carrying the engine credential, so the cleartext policy covers the new tool actions and the capture guard alike. The 10s bound is applied at each of the four bounded entry points rather than by the chokepoint, so a new one that opens a session without wrapping it would inherit the refusal but not the timeout.
[Concern 1]: the cleartext refusal keys on scheme == "http", and the transport keys on scheme == "https", so every other scheme is allowed and sent in the clear.
_refuses_cleartext returns False for every scheme that is not http; the WebSocket client derives scheme = "wss" if parsed.scheme == "https" else "ws". Measured at 46faa6da:
| engine URL | _refuses_cleartext |
resulting ws_url |
|---|---|---|
http://ha.example.com:8123 |
True | refused |
https://ha.example.com:8123 |
False | wss://ha.example.com:8123/api/websocket |
wss://ha.example.com:8123 |
False | ws://ha.example.com:8123/api/websocket |
ws://ha.example.com:8123 |
False | ws://ha.example.com:8123/api/websocket |
The wss:// row is the one I would not dismiss. It is the scheme that looks secure, it is a natural thing to type into a field about a WebSocket endpoint, and it is silently downgraded to cleartext while the guard waves it through — whereas the honest http:// spelling of the same mistake is correctly refused. Reachability is end to end: the upstream add-on schema declares home_assistant_url: str (balloob/home-assistant-addons, puppet/config.yaml), so the Supervisor accepts any scheme, and addon_credential_from_options passes it through unvalidated. The _client_credential fallback is closed, gated on startswith(("http://", "https://")). Refusing unless the scheme is https, or http to a local host, makes the two rules agree. TestCleartextRefusal's parametrised table is 12 http:// cases and one https:// one, so no scheme outside those two is pinned either way.
[Concern 2]: the warning quotes Python reprs, and the parameters it tells the agent to copy take JSON.
detect_change builds the remedy with value={restore_value!r}, expected_current={current!r}, and both fields carry JSON_STRING_COERCION. For a real theme payload the result is not copy-pasteable:
warning: … call ha_manage_theme(action='set_engine_theme', value={'theme': 'default', 'dark': True}, expected_current={'theme': '', 'dark': False}) -- that guard re-checks …
coerced: ValueError: Invalid JSON at line 1 column 2: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes
Single quotes are not JSON, so an agent following "Pass the expected_current value quoted in the screenshot tool's warning" gets a validation error for every value except an empty dict. json.dumps on both would make the instruction literally true. The warning test asserts only that value= and expected_current= occur in the string, which is how the shape got through.
Two smaller things in files this PR already edits: tests/src/e2e/utilities/performance.py's module docstring carries a Baseline targets block in which every line is now wrong — the never-enforced - ha_search: < 300ms, plus the four figures this PR just moved by +100ms — while the PR edits PERFORMANCE_BASELINES a few lines below it; and ha_manage_theme's action field description still reads "list installed themes or set the default theme" although ThemeAction now has four members — the new actions are explained in the tool docstring but not where an agent picks the action.
The rest checks out. All sixteen required checks are green on 46faa6da and all twenty-five review threads are resolved; the read-only exemption is an allowlist that fails closed, with action a required parameter so a missing one is malformed rather than an implicit read; and the enforced performance baselines each moved by exactly +100ms — the 300ms in test_search_entities_performance's docstring was never an enforced target.
… JSON Patch76's review. Both concerns were reachable end to end. The cleartext refusal keyed on scheme == "http" while the transport maps ONLY https to wss and everything else to ws, so wss:// was silently downgraded to cleartext AND waved through -- while the honest http:// spelling of the same mistake was correctly refused. The Supervisor accepts any scheme (home_assistant_url is a bare str in Puppet's config.yaml) and addon_credential_from_options passes it through unvalidated, so nothing upstream caught it either. The check is now an allowlist: https always passes, http passes only to a local host, everything else is refused. The parametrised table gains wss, ws, a non-web scheme, a scheme-less string and the empty string, none of which were pinned before. The remedy quoted Python reprs for two parameters that carry JSON_STRING_COERCION, so an agent following "pass the expected_current value quoted in the warning" hit a validation error for every value except an empty dict -- single quotes are not JSON. Both are json.dumps now, and the test parses the quoted values rather than asserting the field names appear, which is how the shape got through. Two documentation defects in files this PR already edits: the performance module docstring repeated every baseline figure and every line was wrong, including a never-enforced ha_search entry, so it now points at PERFORMANCE_BASELINES as the single source rather than duplicating it; and ha_manage_theme's action description still described two actions when ThemeAction has four, which is where an agent picks the action.

@Patch76 all four are fixed in 3cf4fcc, green on that head. Both concerns were reachable exactly as you described, and I verified each at the source rather than taking the report on trust. Concern 1 — the scheme allowlist. Confirmed at Concern 2 — repr vs JSON. Also confirmed. Both parameters carry Both smaller items are in files this PR already edits, so they were in scope and are fixed rather than deferred. The performance module docstring duplicated every baseline figure and every line was wrong — including the never-enforced On your note about the 10s bound being applied at four entry points rather than at the chokepoint: that is accurate, and a new entry point would inherit the cleartext refusal ( One finding I did not apply, flagged for visibility: CodeRabbit raised WebSocket redirect revalidation. The mechanics are real, but reaching it requires the trusted local endpoint itself to redirect outward, which SECURITY.md § Local network is the trusted zone places outside the model. Reasoning is in a separate comment above. |
The 10s deadline was applied at each of the four bounded entry points rather than by the chokepoint, so a new entry point would inherit the cleartext refusal -- _session is the single construction site for a session carrying the engine credential -- but silently not the timeout. Patch76 flagged the asymmetry on review. The bound now lives in _session itself, spanning connect, auth and the caller's body, so both properties arrive together. Cleanup stays outside it: a slow close must not be cancelled by the session deadline, and it already has its own CLOSE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS bound. The four callers no longer wrap anything. The regression test opens a session directly with a hanging connect and no timeout of its own -- standing in for a future entry point -- and asserts it is still bounded and still disconnects.

All four items from my last pass are fixed at the root, and the timeout asymmetry I only flagged in passing went further than I asked. _refuses_cleartext is an allowlist now, and its table pins the schemes that previously pinned nothing — wss://, ws://, a non-web scheme, a scheme-less string, the empty string. The remedy runs both parameters through json.dumps, with test_engine_credential_report_carries_no_caveat parsing both quoted values back through json.loads rather than only asserting a field name appears. performance.py's docstring now points at PERFORMANCE_BASELINES instead of restating it, and the action field describes all four ThemeAction members at the point an agent picks one.
3428242 then moved the 10s deadline into _session rather than leaving it as a note. I checked the property it rests on: _session really is the only site that builds a session on the engine credential — the other two constructions in src/ are helpers.py:217 and the pooled factory at websocket_client.py:1302, neither of which ever carries it — and the two bodies that run inside it do nothing but issue their WebSocket commands, each of which waits at most COMMAND_TIMEOUT_SECONDS for its response. All sixteen required checks are green on 3428242.
Two minor notes, both in paths this PR already changes:
[Note 1]: the cleartext refusal's stated reason is wrong for a local wss://. wss://homeassistant:8123 is refused as "cleartext to a remote host ... use https://", but homeassistant is in _LOCAL_HOSTS, and the transport maps that URL and the allowed http://homeassistant:8123 to the same ws://homeassistant:8123/api/websocket — identical on the wire, opposite verdicts. "use https://" is also not available advice for a Supervisor-internal endpoint. Refusing an unknown scheme is the right default; it is the reason given that misleads.
[Note 2]: there is a third condition under which the engine-theme actions refuse, and the remedy does not know about it. _theme_write allows only list and get_engine_theme, so in Read Only Mode set_engine_theme is blocked at call time in on_call_tool — while detect_change still emits "To restore it, call ha_manage_theme(action='set_engine_theme', ...)". ha_get_dashboard_screenshot is readOnlyHint: True, so the capture still runs and still reaches that branch with the flag on. This is the case 46faa6d handled for the client-credential branch, and its comment states the rule: recommending them would send the agent at a command that cannot succeed. dashboard_screenshot/ consults no read-only flag anywhere, and get_global_settings().read_only_mode is the same one read_only.py reads, so the Profile > General wording already in the other branch would fit.
Neither blocks. Both are small, in files the PR already edits.
…ad-only Patch76's two notes, both in paths this PR already changes. The cleartext refusal's stated reason was wrong for a local wss://. wss://homeassistant:8123 was refused as "cleartext to a remote host ... use https://", but homeassistant is in _LOCAL_HOSTS and the transport maps that URL and the ALLOWED http://homeassistant:8123 to the same ws://homeassistant:8123/api/websocket -- identical on the wire, opposite verdicts -- and "use https://" is not available advice for a Supervisor-internal endpoint. Refusing an unknown scheme stays the default; _refusal_reason now explains which of the two rules fired, so an unsupported scheme says the transport maps only https to wss rather than borrowing the remote-host wording. The remedy did not know about a third condition that blocks it. _theme_write allows only list and get_engine_theme, so Read Only Mode blocks the theme writes at call time, while ha_get_dashboard_screenshot is readOnlyHint: True and keeps capturing -- reaching the branch that told the agent to call set_engine_theme. That is the rule 46faa6d established for the client-credential branch: never name a command that cannot succeed. The report now checks the same flag read_only.py reads and, when it is on, names no action at all and points at Profile > General, the wording the other blocked branch already uses. The flag is read through a _read_only_mode() helper so the report has a single seam rather than an inline import inside detect_change.

Both notes from the last pass are fixed at the root rather than papered over. _refusal_reason separates the two refusals now, measured across the schemes it has to tell apart: wss://homeassistant:8123 and ws://homeassistant:8123 are refused as unsupported schemes, http://homeassistant:8123 and https://ha.example.com:8123 pass, and http://ha.example.com:8123 keeps the cleartext reason — so the message matches the reason, and "use https://" no longer lands on a Supervisor-internal endpoint. The read-only premise holds where this repo can settle it: ha_get_dashboard_screenshot carries readOnlyHint: True, so the capture still runs, and _theme_write admits only list and get_engine_theme, so the restore really is blocked at call time.
[Note]: the read-only branch sits ahead of the identity branch, so the case where both apply reports the one that cannot be acted on.
detect_change tests _read_only_mode() first and self.credential_is_engine only in the elif. Driving all four combinations at 7477ae7a:
| Read Only Mode | credential | remedy | names "turn Read Only Mode off first" |
|---|---|---|---|
| on | add-on token | read-only wording | yes |
| on | client fallback | read-only wording | yes |
| off | add-on token | set_engine_theme call |
no |
| off | client fallback | identity wording | no |
Row two is the one to look at. Flipping the flag on that same setup gives row four — "ha-mcp cannot confirm which account it belongs to and will not act on it" — so the restore is refused either way, for a reason Read Only Mode has no bearing on, while the remedy tells the reader to turn Read Only Mode off. The comment above the new branch says it follows "the same rule the client-credential branch already follows"; row two is the combination where it does not. Testing credential_is_engine before _read_only_mode() moves row two onto the identity wording and leaves the other three rows exactly as they are, since the identity refusal holds regardless of the flag. TestReadOnlyModeRemedy drives _PUPPET_CREDENTIAL and therefore row one, so row two is unpinned.
Nothing else in 3428242d..7477ae7a reads wrong to me, and the surrounding state is green: 35 checks successful with one skipped on 7477ae7a, all 25 review threads resolved, and CodeRabbit's walkthrough records that same range while no review has been posted since the push.
Patch76's note. detect_change tested _read_only_mode() first and credential_is_engine only in the elif, so Read Only Mode on + a fallback credential reported the read-only wording and told the reader to turn the flag off. Turning it off lands on the identity refusal instead -- the restore is refused in both flag states, for a reason Read Only Mode has no bearing on, so the advice unblocked nothing. The identity block is unconditional and the read-only block lifts when the flag is cleared, so identity is tested first now and the report names the condition that actually governs. Tests drive all four combinations rather than the two that were covered, which is why the precedence bug survived: the flag-on/fallback row asserts the identity wording and the absence of the turn-it-off advice.

The precedence fix is the right shape: the comment now leads with the principle rather than the case — the identity block is unconditional, the read-only block lifts with the flag, so the one that governs is the one to report. Driving all four combinations at eb740d9f, each reports the block that actually applies, and neither fallback-credential row tells the reader to turn Read Only Mode off.
TestRemedyPrecedence pins it rather than describing it. Restoring the previous branch order turns exactly one test red — test_fallback_credential_wins_over_read_only, on its positive assert, since the identity wording is simply absent — and leaves the other 74 green, so the ordering is what the test measures. The negative assert beside it covers what the positive one would wave through: a message that carries the identity wording and the read-only advice together.
The capture path's no-writes property still holds here: nine _set_calls() == [] assertions across TestSnapshotRestore and TestCaptureBracket, two more on the compare-and-set write refusals, and len(_set_calls()) == 1 in the same file as their positive control — so an empty list means "nothing was written" rather than "nothing was recorded".
Everything raised over the review rounds is closed — the cleartext allowlist with its table now pinning the schemes, the JSON-quoted remedy and the test that parses both values back rather than matching substrings, the session bound moved into _session itself, the engine-account identity refusal, and this precedence. Approving on eb740d9f.

What does this PR do?
The screenshot engine writes the saved frontend theme of the Home Assistant
user its token belongs to, and that syncs to the user's live web and mobile
sessions (#1909). ha-mcp used to undo this with a snapshot/restore bracket —
but the restore was itself a
frontend/set_user_datawrite issued from toolsannotated
readOnlyHint: True. That contradiction is why #1991 / PR #2014disabled the bracket, trading the protection away to keep the annotation
honest.
This keeps both. The guard still reads the saved theme before and after a
capture, but on a change it reports the previous value instead of writing
it. The capture path issues no writes at all — pinned by
_set_calls() == []on every capture-path test, including the render-failure path — so the
read-only annotations stay accurate with no argument to have.
Undoing the change moves to
ha_manage_theme, already annotateddestructiveHint: True/readOnlyHint: False, via two new actions:get_engine_theme— read the engine account's per-user themeset_engine_theme— write it back, guarded (below)These act on the engine account's per-user profile
(
frontend/set_user_data) — a different layer from the backend default thataction="set"changes.Detection is armed for every capture, not only themed ones: the upstream fix
sparing the no-parameter case (
balloob/home-assistant-addons#89) is mergedbut unreleased as of Puppet 2.6.0, so on current releases every render writes.
Giving the engine its own Home Assistant user and long-lived token avoids the
problem outright — the write lands on an account nobody looks at. The warning
still fires (ha-mcp has no signal telling it an account is dedicated), it is
just safe to ignore.
Safety properties
Review surfaced several defects in the design as first written. All are fixed
here, and each has a regression test.
set_engine_themere-reads the storedtheme immediately before writing and skips on mismatch. An explicit null
means "expect no stored theme" and is enforced like any other value; omitting
the value is equivalent, since MCP cannot distinguish the two at the schema
layer.
forceis the only way to overwrite unconditionally. This isbest-effort, not atomic:
websocket_set_user_datais an unconditionalasync_set_itemwith schema{type, key, value}, so Home Assistant offersnothing to compare against server-side.
addon_credential, so the only fallback is ha-mcp's own credential — adifferent user under the dedicated-account setup this feature recommends.
Both engine-theme actions refuse there rather than reading or overwriting the
wrong profile. A value comparison cannot substitute for identity: two users
holding the same theme compare equal.
Supervisor-internal, loopback,
.localand RFC1918 destinations still allowhttp://— that traffic stays inside the zone SECURITY.md documents astrusted, and the add-on default is
http://homeassistant:8123. Privateranges are recognised only as real IP literals, so DNS names like
10.attacker.exampleare refused.COMMAND_TIMEOUT_SECONDSonlycovered a command after connect and auth, so an unreachable endpoint stalled
before the engine was contacted. The close is an owned task, cancelled when
its bounded wait gives up and awaited with
return_exceptions=True, ratherthan shielded and left orphaned against a live socket.
ha_manage_themejoinsREAD_ONLY_EXEMPT_TOOLSas amixed tool:
listandget_engine_themestay callable, both writes stayblocked. Screenshots themselves remain available there ([BUG] Claude.ai shows "Get Dashboard" as a write/delete tool? #1991 made both entry
points
