Seth 57fbd7063e Replace briefing system with fancy CLI status display panel
- Removed hourly news briefing system (briefing service/timer)
- Added tty_status_display.py: real-time status panel showing dual nail status
  - Temperature, setpoint, error, PID output with visual bar
  - Flight mode and phase badges with color coding
  - PID coefficients and integral/derivative values
  - Safety status indicators
  - Continuous color-coded display with ANSI formatting
- Added pinail-status.service: systemd service for status display
  - Runs as root with direct TTY output to /dev/tty1
  - Auto-restart on failure, requires pinail2.service
  - Logs errors to /tmp/status_display.log
- Deployed and verified running on Pi (service active)

  • App path on Pi: /home/pi/piNail2
  • UI:
    • LAN: http://192.168.0.159:5000
    • Reverse proxy: https://nail.sethpc.xyz

Main Features (piNail2/)

  • PID heater control loop
  • Real-time dashboard and chart
  • Setpoint + PID tuning controls
  • Autotune mode
  • Safety cutoffs and watchdog behavior

Quick Ops

ssh pinail "sudo systemctl status pinail2"
ssh pinail "sudo systemctl restart pinail2"
ssh pinail "sudo journalctl -u pinail2 -f"
