Pontoporeia b1e70a2bf1 Extract HomeController from public/index.php
Move all data-fetching and view-variable assembly out of public/index.php
into a new src/HomeController.php, following the same pattern as
SearchController, TfeController, SystemController, and ThesisEditController.

HomeController::create() builds the Database singleton dependency.
HomeController::handle() encapsulates:
- GET param parsing (page, year) with safe type coercion
- Display-mode detection: default random-latest view / year-filtered /
  paginated-all theses
- All DB calls: getLatestPublishedYear, getLatestYearTheses, searchTheses,
  countSearchResults, getPublishedTheses, countPublishedTheses,
  getCoverPathsForTheses, getAvailableYears
- Batch cover-image loading for theses without a banner_path
- baseParams assembly for the pagination partial
- OG / meta tag array construction
- Graceful error handling (logs exception, returns safe empty state)
- Returns a flat array of view variables

public/index.php is now a 6-line dispatcher (require + create + handle +
extract) followed by a pure view template. Reduced from 100 to 71 lines.
All error-handling and data logic removed from the view layer entirely.

PHP Components (Reusable Partials)

Form field partials — templates/partials/form/

  • text-field.php — already implemented; used across add.php and edit.php for all single-line fields
  • select-field.php — already implemented; used for orientation, ap, finality, license, access type, etc.
  • checkbox-list.php — already implemented with <fieldset>/<legend class="sr-only">/<ul> structure for WCAG 1.3.1
  • file-field.php — already implemented; used for cover image, banner, and TFE files
  • jury-fieldset.php — already implemented; single partial shared by add.php and edit.php; includes all WCAG aria-labels and JS for dynamic rows

Shared UI partials — templates/partials/

  • pagination.php — partial created and used in both search.php and (now) admin/index.php; admin/index.php also gained proper server-side pagination (25/page) with filter-aware $baseParams
  • status-badge.php — partial fully implemented (templates/partials/status-badge.php) with $badgeType/$badgeValue API; CSS rules in admin.css; used in admin/index.php for publish + access badges
  • admin-alert.php — already done; flash-messages.php calls App::consumeFlash() which handles all legacy key variants (_flash_error, error, admin_error, edit_error, form_error, success, admin_success, edit_success) and clears them all

Controller Extraction (In Progress)

  • Extract SearchControllersrc/SearchController.php; rate-limiting, param sanitisation, DB queries, OG meta, and author-map construction moved out of public/search.php; entry point is now a 6-line dispatcher (create() + handle() + extract()); view template unchanged
  • Extract SystemControllersrc/SystemController.php (452 lines); all status checks, disk/PHP info, log reading, nginx config reading, and line classifiers centralised; system.php reduced 582→282 lines; system-fragment.php reduced 213→137 lines with all duplicated frag_* helpers eliminated
  • Extract ThesisEditControllersrc/ThesisEditController.php (285 lines); load() fetches thesis row, current language/format/jury selections and all lookup tables for the view; save() validates and persists metadata, authors, jury, languages, formats, tags, banner in a transaction; static autofocusFieldForError() centralises WCAG 3.3.1 field-name mapping; admin/edit.php reduced 191→162 lines; actions/edit.php reduced 153→53 lines
  • Extract TfeControllersrc/TfeController.php; ID validation, thesis load (404→redirect), access-type check, meta-description assembly, OG/Twitter tag construction (banner→image→empty resolution), WebVTT caption-file collection, and all page-meta variables moved out of public/tfe.php; entry point is now a 9-line dispatcher (create() + handle() + extract()); tfe.php reduced 271→206 lines; $db reference removed from view layer entirely
  • Extract HomeControllersrc/HomeController.php; page/year param parsing, display-mode detection (default-random / year-filtered / paginated-all), DB queries (getLatestPublishedYear, getLatestYearTheses, searchTheses, countSearchResults, getPublishedTheses, countPublishedTheses, getCoverPathsForTheses, getAvailableYears), cover-image batch loading, OG/meta tag assembly, and $baseParams construction moved out of public/index.php; entry point is now a 6-line dispatcher (create() + handle() + extract()); index.php reduced from 100 → 71 lines; all data-fetching and error-handling logic removed from view layer
  • Consolidate action handlers into controller methods
  • Unify flash message keys project-wide to _flash_error / _flash_success — all callers already use App::flash(); removed dead legacy-key fallback chains (error, admin_error, edit_error, form_error, success, admin_success, edit_success) from consumeFlash()
  • Move OG tag construction into controller logic — all three public controllers (SearchController, TfeController, and the new home-page controller once extracted) build $ogTags internally and return it as a plain array key; no OG tag assembly remains in entry-point scripts
  • Extract inline CSS/JS from system.php into separate assets — JS moved to public/assets/js/system.js (loaded via $extraJs); 4 inline style= attributes replaced with CSS classes; only dynamic CSS custom properties (--disk-pct, --disk-color) remain as inline styles because they carry PHP runtime values

Backend Maintenance

  • RateLimit cache dir — already in storage/cache/rate_limit; justfile deploy excludes storage/cache/* from rsync. APCu/SQLite migration deferred (not blocking).
  • apropos.php contacts and credits — moved to config/apropos.php config array (contacts[], credits[], erg_url); apropos.php loops over the config with htmlspecialchars; update names/emails by editing only the config file
