Restructures the install so users run ONE command. The fork's
newinstaller.sh clones this repo (instead of upstream Nachtzuster) and
runs BirdNET-Pi's installer. install_services.sh symlinks the avian/
overlay into the Caddy site root, so http://birdnet.local/avian/ comes
up after reboot with no Caddy config needed.
Reviewer-flagged fixes:
Frontend (avian/frontend/apt.js)
- Switch all API paths from /api/*.json (which didn't route) to relative
action-based URLs (./api/birdnet-api.php?action=recent etc.).
- Fetch ./masks.json + ./dims.json relatively (were /avian/*.json).
- Replace every innerHTML user-content sink with createElement +
textContent + setAttribute — species labels are user-editable in
BirdNET-Pi, so untrusted.
- Add esc() helper for the few remaining innerHTML attribute contexts.
- fetchJson throws on non-200 (was silently parsing 404 HTML as JSON).
- Defensive null-check in loadMask if MASKS hasn't loaded.
Backend (avian/api/*.php)
- birdnet-api.php now derives DB_PATH from dirname(__DIR__, 3) so any
BirdNET-Pi install user works (no hardcoded /home/birdnet).
- recording/spectrogram/cutout use getenv('HOME') for the same reason.
- cutout.php reworked as the canonical image resolver: bundled
illustration → bundled cutout → cached rembg → fresh
Wikipedia+rembg, with the binomial regex guard and atomic rename
on cache write. Wikipedia URL host pinned to wikimedia.org /
wikipedia.org to block SSRF.
- Stale 'X-BirdNET-Proxy-Token' auth claims removed everywhere.
Pregen (avian/scripts/pregen.py)
- Gemini key moved from URL query to x-goog-api-key header.
- Model bumped to gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview.
- Bounded retry on 429 + 5xx with Retry-After honoured.
- Default --sleep raised from 1s to 4s (under free-tier RPM).
- Unified parser handles |/_/comma in all three input modes.
- responseModalities now [TEXT, IMAGE] (was IMAGE-only).
- --poses validated against POSES keys.
- ASCII [ok]/[fail] markers (was ✓/✗ — Windows console crash).
- Surfaces finishReason + blockReason on safety blocks.
Prompt template
- 'Two placeholders' typo → three.
- 'warm paper' / 'transparent background' contradiction resolved.
Forwarding
- mqtt-bridge.py: paho-mqtt 2.x CallbackAPIVersion compat shim.
- avian-mqtt.service: dropped broken %i, set User=birdnet + %h path.
- forwarding/README.md uses the actual action-based URLs.
README
- One-line install via curl … newinstaller.sh.
- No more 'install BirdNET-Pi separately' step (our fork does it).
- License section uses absolute github.com links.
- bird.onethreenine.net replaces the not-yet-existent project writeup.
- docs/thumb.png replaced with the 24-bird Twitter capture.
Removed
- avian/caddy/ and avian/scripts/install.sh — no longer needed; the
overlay symlink in install_services.sh handles everything.
phpSysInfo (Tools -> System Info) requires the mbstring PHP extension.
Without it, the page shows:
checkForExtensions phpSysInfo requires the mbstring extension to php
in order to work properly.

Removed the generateMiniGraph function and its associated AJAX call for fetching detections. This change may affect how mini graphs are displayed on the page.
