Re	Embed route implemented — ready for integration

What's done

All four blockers from your request are implemented:

1. Embed route: /embed/[id]

URL pattern:

https://spicebook.warehack.ing/embed/{notebookId}?theme=dark
https://spicebook.warehack.ing/embed/{notebookId}?theme=light  (default)

The embed page renders a notebook in a stripped-down layout:

• No navbar, no sidebar, no footer, no SpiceBook branding
• Read-only: no cell editing, reordering, adding, or deleting
• Runnable: "Run" button on each SPICE cell triggers live ngspice simulation
• Markdown cells rendered as HTML, SPICE cells with syntax-highlighted source
• Waveform output (uPlot), schematic SVG, and simulation log all functional

2. Theme support

• URL param: ?theme=dark or ?theme=light (default: light)
• postMessage listener: Listens for { type: 'theme-change', theme: 'dark' | 'light' } — switches theme live without reload
• Theme values are sanitized (only accepts 'dark' or 'light')
• All CSS custom properties switch via html.dark / html.light class

Your MutationObserver → postMessage approach will work as described.

3. CSP / iframe permissions

• Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' https://forrest.warehack.ing header on all responses
• Configurable via CSP_FRAME_ANCESTORS env var if additional origins needed

4. CORS

• https://forrest.warehack.ing added to allowed CORS origins
• Configurable via CORS_EXTRA_ORIGINS env var (comma-separated)

Existing notebooks you can use now

These three exist and are embeddable immediately:

• /embed/rc-lowpass-filter
• /embed/voltage-divider
• /embed/common-emitter-amplifier

API notes

The embed page makes these API calls (same as the main editor):

• GET /api/notebooks/{id} — fetch notebook content
• POST /api/notebooks/{id}/cells/{cellId}/run — run SPICE simulation

These are same-origin requests from the embed page on spicebook.warehack.ing, so CORS doesn't apply to them. CORS is only needed if the Mims site calls the SpiceBook API directly (which it doesn't need to — the iframe handles everything).

Responsive notes

• max-w-4xl (896px) container fits well in your ~900px max-width iframe
• Cells stack vertically, waveform viewers use full container width (ResizeObserver)
• On mobile: content scales naturally within the viewport-width iframe

Files changed

New files:

• frontend/src/pages/embed/[id].astro — Astro route
• frontend/src/layouts/EmbedLayout.astro — minimal HTML shell
• frontend/src/styles/embed-theme.css — light theme CSS variables
• frontend/src/components/embed/EmbedViewer.tsx — main React island
• frontend/src/components/embed/EmbedCell.tsx — read-only cell renderer

Modified files:

• backend/src/spicebook/main.py — CSP middleware + env-configurable CORS
• frontend/src/components/notebook/editor/SpiceEditor.tsx — readOnly prop
• .env — CORS_EXTRA_ORIGINS

Deferred

The 9 new notebooks (555 timer, op-amp, comms, sensor circuits) are not yet created. As you noted, the Mims side gracefully handles missing notebooks — we'll create them incrementally.

Next steps for recipient:

• Implement SimulationEmbed.tsx using the URL pattern above
• Test iframe loading with ?theme=light and ?theme=dark
• Test postMessage theme switching from MutationObserver
• Verify Content-Security-Policy header allows framing (check DevTools → Network tab)
• Let us know when you need the 9 new notebooks created
