Automated EduPlus Course Feedback Submissions with a sleek modern Terminal UI (TUI), CLI support, and hardware biometric protection (macOS Touch ID & Windows Hello).

✨ Features

• 🖥️ Gorgeous Interactive TUI: Built with Textual featuring a live status dashboard, real-time log telemetry, progress indicators, password visibility toggles, and form verification stats.
• 🛡️ Biometric Security:
  • macOS Touch ID: Native integration with Apple LocalAuthentication (Touch ID / Apple Watch / System Passcode) to lock and unlock saved credentials.
  • Windows Hello: Native integration with Windows Runtime UserConsentVerifier (Fingerprint / Facial Recognition / PIN).
• 🔐 Secure Credential Persistence:
  • Remember username only (prompts for password on each run).
  • Remember username & password locally with PBKDF2 + AES-Fernet encryption or system Keyring (Keychain / Credential Manager).
  • One-click credential wiping (--clear-creds or via the TUI).
• 🎯 Precise Vue 3 + Vuetify Automation:
  • Locates elements dynamically by visible text, labels, and placeholders rather than volatile auto-generated IDs.
  • Uses native .click() events to ensure Vue's reactivity properly registers radio selections.
  • 10/10 Form Validation: Verifies that exactly 10 questions per faculty-subject match the chosen rating before proceeding. Aborts immediately if verification fails to prevent partial saves.
• 🛡️ Safety First (Dry-Run by Default):
  • Fills and verifies every single form but stops before the irreversible final submit.
  • Only submits permanently when explicitly confirmed.
• ⚡ Dual Mode (TUI & CLI): Run interactively with the graphical terminal interface or run headless via CLI scripts or cron jobs.

📦 Installation

Install representante via pip:

pip3 install representante

Install Playwright's Chromium browser dependency (one-time setup):

# Using the built-in helper:
representante --install-deps

# Or directly with playwright:
playwright install chromium

🚀 Usage

1. Interactive Terminal User Interface (TUI)

Simply run the command without arguments (or with --tui):

representante

(You can also use the alias command: sies-feedback)

The TUI provides:

• Credential inputs with Show/Hide password toggle.
• Toggles for "Remember Username", "Save Password", and "Require Touch ID / Windows Hello".
• Cycle selector (e.g. 2026-27 or leave blank for the first open cycle).
• Rating dropdown (Excellent, Very Good, Good, Average, Below Average).
• Dry-Run and Headless switches.
• Real-time streaming logs and form counter scoreboard.
• Abort button to safely stop execution at any time.

2. Command-Line Interface (CLI)

Run directly from the command line for fast or automated runs:

# Basic dry-run (verifies all forms without final submit)
representante -u 124A1018 -p "YourPassword" --dry-run

# Target a specific cycle and show browser window
representante -u 124A1018 -p "YourPassword" --cycle "2026-27" --no-headless

# Permanent submission (irreversible)
representante -u 124A1018 -p "YourPassword" --no-dry-run

# Save credentials with Biometric Protection
representante -u 124A1018 -p "YourPassword" --save-creds --biometric

# Use saved credentials on subsequent runs (prompts Touch ID / Windows Hello)
representante

# Wipe all locally stored credentials and configuration
representante --clear-creds

# Inspect current configuration and hardware biometric status
representante --show-config

Using environment variables instead of command-line arguments:

export SIES_PASSWORD="YourPassword"
representante -u 124A1018

⚙️ CLI Options & Flags

🔒 Security Architecture

• Local Storage: All files are stored under ~/.config/ethiccode-representante/ (or %APPDATA%/ethiccode-representante on Windows) with strict 0700 directory and 0600 file permissions.
• Keyring & Fallback Vault: Credentials are saved in the OS Keyring (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux SecretService). If unavailable, credentials are encrypted with AES-Fernet using PBKDF2HMAC key derivation tied to the machine salt.
• Biometric Protection:
  • On macOS, triggers the official LocalAuthentication prompt for Touch ID, Apple Watch, or system password challenge.
  • On Windows, triggers the UserConsentVerifier Windows Hello prompt.
