#+TITLE: UCB Faculty Utilities

* Launching the Panel Lookup App

This package ships with a CLI entry point that mirrors the manual
``panel serve`` invocation, so you can spin up the UI with:

#+begin_src sh
poetry run ucbfaculty --show
#+end_src

- ``--show`` pops a browser window; omit it if you only need the terminal log.
- ``--no-autoreload`` disables live reload (enabled by default to match ``panel serve --autoreload``).
- ``--port`` (default 5006) and ``--address`` let you host on a different interface.
- ``panel`` is an alias for ``serve``, so ``poetry run ucbfaculty panel`` works too.

* Makefile Shortcut

If you prefer ``make`` muscle memory:

#+begin_src sh
make serve
#+end_src

That target simply runs ``poetry run ucbfaculty --show`` on your behalf.

* Direct Panel Command

When you need the raw Panel entry point—for example, to pass bespoke
Panel options—call:

#+begin_src sh
poetry run panel serve ucbfaculty/apps/lookup.py --autoreload
#+end_src

The CLI route above automatically points to the same script and keeps
your options tidy for everyday use.

* Supplying the RawData Passphrase

Encrypted inputs in =RawData/= require a GPG passphrase. Provide it on
the command line:

#+begin_src sh
poetry run ucbfaculty -p "hunter2" --show
#+end_src

If =-p/--passphrase= is omitted, the passphrase is entered on the app
splash screen by default (leave it blank if your datasets are not
encrypted). Add =--prompt-passphrase= if you prefer the CLI prompt.

Need a different config file (for example, to point at a sandbox data
repo)? Add =--config=/path/to/config.yaml= (or set
=UCBFACULTY_CONFIG=). The Panel app’s Settings tab exposes the same
controls from inside the UI.

* Config keys
- =data_directory=: base path for RawData assets.
- =data_backend=: how =data_directory= is kept in step with its upstream:
=box-drive= (folder inside a Box Drive mount; nothing to sync),
=rclone= (mirror via rclone; see =rclone_remote=), or =git= (a
checkout; see =data_repo_url=). Inferred when omitted; see
=ucbfaculty.datasync.detect_backend=.
- =rclone_remote=: rclone source spec, e.g. =ucbfaculty:= (default; a Box
remote rooted at the shared folder) or =mybox:Some/Dir=.
- =data_repo_url=: repository to clone when =data_backend= is =git=.
- =features_yaml=: legacy FeatureBuilder spec (list or single path).
- =feature_specs_yaml=: new Feature spec file for the Feature class (defaults to =RawData/features_spec.yaml=).
- =sources_yaml=: source declarations powering the Feature class (defaults to =RawData/sources.yaml=).

* Cross-Tab Row Selection

While browsing feature tables or committee rosters, click any row to
pop that faculty member into the **Faculty Lookup** tab—the app even
auto-switches to that tab so their full profile is front and center.

* Encrypting RawData Assets

To generate =.gpg= versions of sensitive files for approved recipients,
run the helper script. Patterns are resolved relative to your configured
=RawData= directory:

#+begin_src sh
poetry run python scripts/encrypt_rawdata.py \
-r faculty-security@berkeley.edu \
RawData/2025-01\ All\ Senate\ Faculty.csv
#+end_src

Use multiple =-r= flags to target several keys, =--dest-dir= to drop the
encrypted copies elsewhere, and =--armor= when you prefer ASCII output.

* Settings Tab (Config + Sync)

Open the **Settings** tab inside the Panel app to:

- View or edit the active =config.yaml= (data directory, feature specs,
spelling dictionaries). Saving regenerates the config file and applies
it immediately—just refresh the data tabs afterward.
- Trigger a “Sync Data” action, which brings the configured data
directory up to date with its upstream (a no-op under Box Drive,
=rclone sync= for a mirror, =git pull --ff-only= for a checkout) and
reports the result in-place. =ucbfaculty sync= does the same from
the terminal.
