💎 Release-readiness polish for the dual-backend card

Six small commits on top of main (efca1b0), the last state before the first release that carries the Hypercolor backend. Nothing here changes how the card talks to Home Assistant; it fixes what a reviewer or a user would trip over on the way to v1.1.0.

💡 What this is

The Hypercolor backend has been on main for months without a release, and the live box runs a hand-copied dev build from mid-branch. Cutting a release exposed four problems: the release workflow cannot actually produce a HACS asset, the scene header renders the literal word "unknown" whenever the builtin Default scene is active, the profile selector is wired end to end for an entity the integration no longer creates, and the editor's backend dropdown pins an override forever once touched. This PR closes those, plus two accessibility slips and three README claims the code does not back.

🤔 Why we need it & what it replaces

  • The release chain never fired. release.yml checks out and pushes the tag with GITHUB_TOKEN, and GitHub suppresses push-triggered workflow runs for that token, so cicd.yml (on: push: tags) never ran and no hyper-light-card.js asset was attached. Neither workflow has a single run in the repo's history; v1.0.0 was tagged by hand. HACS installs from the release asset (target/ is gitignored), so a tag without one is an empty release.
  • Profiles are gone upstream. hypercolor-hass retired the profile select when profiles folded into scenes (RETIRED_UNIQUE_SUFFIXES = ("profile",) in its __init__.py), and no profile translation key exists there. The card's discoverExtra('profile_entity', 'select', 'profile') could never match, yet the config type, editor row, state flags, render path, CSS, and README all carried it.
  • "unknown" is truthy. readSelectModel copied stateObj.state verbatim, so a select whose current_option is None (HA state unknown) beat the spec.empty fallback and the header read "unknown" instead of "No active scene". That is the state the live box is in right now.

🎯 The invariant

A stored card config never contains the editor's auto sentinel or a profile key. toFormData() adds auto only for display, fromFormData() strips it (and empty strings) before config-changed fires, and an absent backend key still means auto-detect in detectBackend().

🛠️ How it works

  1. Select state normalisation (250319b). selectCurrent() in src/backends/hypercolor.ts and src/backends/signalrgb.ts maps unknown and unavailable to ''; available keeps its existing semantics. Tests cover scenes and presets in tests/backends/hypercolor.test.ts and a new tests/backends/signalrgb.test.ts.
  2. Profile removal (0f5c5a6). profile_entity, show_profile_select, profiles(), setProfile(), isProfileDropdownOpen, toggleProfileDropdown(), _renderProfileSelect(), the 'profile' union members, the outside-click selector, the CSS block, and the README rows are gone. A saved config that still carries the old keys is ignored, not rejected.
  3. Editor auto-detect (64aba49). src/hyper-light-card-editor.ts gains AUTO_BACKEND, toFormData(), and fromFormData(); the backend dropdown offers "Auto-detect" first and the helper text explains when to override. tests/hyper-light-card-editor.test.ts pins the round trip, including a legacy backend: '' that must render as Auto-detect.
  4. Controls-row accessibility (7f7ceb5). The brightness wrapper no longer duplicates role="slider" and aria-value* around a real <input type="range">; the effect-parameters toggle gets tabindex="0" and the existing Enter/Space keydown handler.
  5. Docs (e0806a5). README says palette swatches (color controls are available: false) and "see each child light's brightness and flash it with Identify" (per-device rows render no toggle); package.json describes both backends.
  6. Release chain (3b6adca). After the tag push, release.yml runs gh workflow run cicd.yml --ref v<version> -f release_run_id=<run> under actions: write, locates the resulting run, and gh run watch --exit-status blocks until the build and the shared release job finish. The summary links the run instead of claiming a push trigger will fire. cicd.yml is untouched: its startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/') gate and release_run_id input already fit a dispatch on a tag ref.

🧪 Validation

  • bun run lint → 33 files, no fixes; bun run format:check → clean; bun run typecheck → clean.
  • bun run test → 8 files, 88 passed (main: 77).
  • bun run build → target/hyper-light-card.js 102.92 kB, 27.51 kB gzip (main: 104.19 kB).
  • grep -rni profile src tests README.md → no matches.
  • ⚠️ The release workflow change is validated by YAML parse and by mirroring the dispatch block hypercolor-hass already runs; its first real run is the v1.1.0 cut that follows this merge.
  • Independent Codex review: round one flagged that a legacy backend: '' rendered as no selection (fixed, folded into the editor commit).

🔍 What reviewers should focus on

  • fromFormData() drops empty strings along with the sentinel. Booleans and numbers (show_*: false, background_opacity: 0) pass through; confirm nothing else legitimately empty is lost.
  • The gh run list --branch v<version> lookup in release.yml relies on GitHub reporting a tag ref as the run's branch for workflow_dispatch, the same assumption hypercolor-hass makes.
  • Out of scope: hacs.json still has no homeassistant minimum (no evidence for the right floor), and package.json stays at 1.0.0 because release.yml rewrites it at cut time.

Home Assistant reports `unknown` when a select entity has no
current_option (no active scene, no saved preset) and `unavailable` when
the entity is gone. readSelectModel copied that sentinel straight into
`current`, so the dropdown header rendered the literal word "unknown"
instead of the empty text the select spec carries ("No active scene").
Hypercolor's builtin Default scene is not part of the scene catalog, so
every fresh install hit this on the scene header.

Both backends now map those two states to an empty current option and
leave the option list and availability untouched.

The Hypercolor integration retired its profile select when profiles
folded into scenes upstream, and it ships no `profile` translation key,
so registry discovery could never populate profile_entity and the
selector could never render. The card still carried a full vertical
slice for it: config keys, backend contract methods, dropdown state,
outside-click and scroll bookkeeping, an editor toggle, styles, and
README rows advertising a control that cannot appear.

Everything profile-shaped is gone. Scene handling is untouched and the
select kinds are now layout, preset, and scene.

The backend dropdown only listed SignalRGB and Hypercolor, so the first
time a user touched it the override was pinned into the card config and
auto-detection was gone for good, with no way back short of editing
YAML. The label even said "(auto-detected)" while offering no such
option.

The form now shows an Auto-detect entry first. It is a display-only
sentinel: toFormData() substitutes it when the config has no `backend`
key, and fromFormData() strips it again before the config is emitted,
so the stored card config never carries the sentinel and detectBackend()
keeps treating an absent key as auto.

The brightness wrapper declared role="slider" with its own aria-value
attributes while wrapping a native range input that already carries
slider semantics, so assistive tech announced two sliders for one
control. The wrapper is plain layout again and the input keeps its
label.

The effect-parameters chevron was role="button" with only a click
handler, so it was invisible to Tab and dead to Enter and Space. It now
takes focus, reuses the dropdown keydown handler that clicks on
Enter/Space, and gets the same focus ring the selectors use.

The README promised colour pickers and per-device toggles. Colour and
palette controls are read-only swatches (the backend marks every colour
control unavailable), and per-device rows show a brightness readout and
an Identify button, never a power toggle. The wording now matches the
code, and package.json stops describing the card as SignalRGB-only.

release.yml pushes the version tag with GITHUB_TOKEN, and GitHub never
starts workflow runs for pushes made with that token. cicd.yml listens
on tag pushes, so the chain stopped dead after the tag: no build, no
GitHub release, no hyper-light-card.js asset for HACS. The step summary
claimed otherwise. No release has gone through this path yet.

The release job now dispatches cicd.yml on the tag ref by hand (a
workflow_dispatch from GITHUB_TOKEN is allowed), passes its own run id
through for release notes, and watches the run to completion so a red
build fails the release job too. The job gains actions: write for the
dispatch. Dry runs stop before the tag as before.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b6ad

The release workflow can fail to find the tag-triggered build, preventing the release asset from being attached and making the release incomplete. A failure summary can also be hidden, and the README inaccurately describes editable color controls. The PR is not merge-ready until the workflow lookup is corrected; the other issues are minor follow-ups.

GitHub CLI gh run list --branch tag workflow_dispatch tag ref behavior REST API branch filter

💡 Result:

In GitHub CLI, the gh run list --branch (or -b) flag is used to filter workflow runs by branch [1][2][3]. Under the hood, this flag passes the provided value as a branch query parameter to the GitHub REST API endpoint GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs (or the specific workflow runs endpoint) [4][5][6]. Key behaviors regarding this filtering: 1. Branch Filtering Logic: The REST API branch parameter filters results by the name of the branch associated with the push event [4][5]. If you provide a branch name, the API returns only those workflow runs that occurred on that specific branch [5][7]. 2. Tags and Workflow Dispatch: The gh run list --branch flag specifically filters by branch name [1][3]. It does not natively support filtering by Git tags or specific workflow_dispatch ref triggers directly through the CLI flag [1][8]. If you need to filter by a tag or a specific dispatch ref, the standard approach is to retrieve the data without the --branch filter (potentially using --json to fetch relevant fields) and then perform client-side filtering using the --jq flag [8]. 3. JSON/JQ Workaround: Because the native CLI flags are limited to exact branch matching, you can use the following pattern to perform more complex filtering (such as excluding a branch or matching a tag) [8]: gh run list --json headBranch,event,displayTitle --jq 'map(select(.headBranch == "your-tag-or-branch-name"))' 4. Limitations: The branch filter is strictly for the branch name [8]. It does not support negation (e.g., "all branches except main") or regular expressions natively within the flag itself [8]. Additionally, users should be aware that results are dependent on the underlying GitHub API behavior, which may occasionally exhibit indexing delays [9]. In summary, while gh run list --branch maps directly to the REST API's branch query parameter for branch-based filtering, it is not designed to filter by tags or complex ref patterns, for which client-side processing with --jq is required [5][8].

Citations:


Remove the --branch "${TAG}" filter from both run lookups.

gh workflow run --ref "${TAG}" dispatches cicd.yml on a tag, but gh run list --branch applies the REST API branch filter. The tag-backed workflow_dispatch run may not match that filter, so run_id remains empty and the release fails after the polling timeout. Identify the new run without the branch filter, then match its commit and event.

GitHub Actions default status check success() subsequent steps skipped when a previous step fails official documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, every step has an implicit if: success() condition by default [1][2]. This means that if any step in a job fails, all subsequent steps in that same job are automatically skipped, unless those steps have a different conditional status check function [1][3]. The status check function success() itself is essentially a guard that only evaluates to true if all previous steps have succeeded [1][2]. Because it is the default behavior, you do not need to explicitly write if: success() for standard, sequential execution [1][2]. If you want to run a step regardless of whether a previous step failed or succeeded, you must use the always() status check function [1][4][3]. Alternatively, if you want a step to run only after a failure, you can use the failure() status check function [1][4][2]. Crucially, once you add any custom if: condition to a step, the implicit default success() check is removed [1]. If you add a custom condition (e.g., to run a step on a specific branch) and still want that step to only run if previous steps succeeded, you must explicitly include success() in your conditional expression, such as if: success() && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' [1]. Summary of status check functions for step execution: - success: Runs only if all previous steps succeeded (default) [1][4][2]. - failure: Runs only if a previous step failed [1][4][2]. - always: Runs unconditionally, even if previous steps failed or the job was cancelled [1][4][3]. - cancelled: Runs only if the workflow was cancelled [1][3]. If you wish to prevent a failing step from causing the entire job to fail (and thus allowing subsequent steps to run without special status checks), you can use the continue-on-error: true property on that specific step [5][6]. When a step with continue-on-error: true fails, its outcome is failure, but its conclusion is considered success, allowing the job to proceed normally [5][6].

Keep the dispatched run URL visible when the child run fails.

gh run watch --exit-status can fail the Dispatch and watch the build and release step. The following Summary step uses the default success() condition and is therefore skipped. Write the URL before gh run watch, or set Summary to if: always().

Describe the color controls as editable.

The README describes these controls as palette/color swatches, and the feature list calls them read-only. However, src/hyper-light-card.ts renders an editable <input type="color"> and calls setLiveControlImmediate. Use “color pickers” or another term that clearly indicates editing is supported.
