Description

Description

Add frontend validation for host and port so invalid robot connection requests are blocked before API calls

Acceptance criteria

  • “Add to Server” is disabled when host or port is invalid
  • Port must be numeric and within a valid range
  • User sees clear inline validation messages
  • No request is sent when validation fails

Developer note

  • Focus on web/src/routes/connect.tsx
  • Keep validation simple and user-friendly.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Focus on implementing form validation in `web/src/routes/connect.tsx`. Use React state to track host/port values and validation errors. Disable the submit button when invalid. Show inline error messages.
