New waiter_pwa/src/config/server.js is the single place that knows where the
backend is. Served by the venue's server (https domain or http://<LAN IP>)
nothing changes: same-origin URLs and the original storage keys, so existing
installs keep their token and unsynced offline queue. With an active venue
(native app, or dev builds with VITE_SERVER_URL) URLs become absolute and all
venue data is namespaced by siteId: token/savedUsername keys, the Dexie DB
(pos_snapshot__<siteId>, which also covers the WS cursor), favorites and
table-view prefs. Switching venue reloads the app.
- api client baseURL, WebSocket and SSE URLs routed through the layer
- product images / waiter avatars rendered via assetUrl()
- service-worker update prompt skipped in native builds
- InstallAppBanner: shown only in plain-HTTP browser mode and only when
VITE_APP_DOWNLOAD_URL is set at build time (dismiss for 7 days)
- VITE_SERVER_URL override is DEV-only (a URL-controlled server in prod would
let a crafted link capture PINs)
- pack README: rule CS-8 on never assuming same-origin
Verified with Playwright/Edge against a local backend: prod build same-origin,
prod build via LAN IP over plain HTTP (insecure context, no SW, banner shown),
and dev build pointed at the backend by URL - all three log in, reach /tables
and receive the WebSocket 'ready' frame; storage keys and IndexedDB names are
as expected. Lint: no new problems (103 before/after). Build passes.
