fix(files): an upload is said once in any order, copy buttons speak, a link list that failed says so

Browse Source 
- The queue holds an upload it sees land done while this tab's upload still waits for its answer, so
  the dialog's notice is the only one whichever comes first; another device's upload follows after.
- One `useCopyFeedback` for every Copy beside a value (token, share link, set-password link): Copied
  for a moment, a notice a screen reader hears, a warning when the clipboard refuses; the token
  dialog's two Copy buttons are named by what they copy.
- The share dialog's link list shows loading, and a load error with Retry, never "no links" — and no
  New link beside a list it has not seen.
- The settings texts say that signing out elsewhere or a password change revokes the API tokens.
- DESIGN.md logs the folder-link decisions; the design lab keeps only the chosen renderings of the
  Links, Tokens and Files rounds.

## Decision log
| Date | Decision | Chosen | Over | Why |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 2026-09-24 | Floating button | Back to top: a round 48 glass FAB; "round" = floats over something (media or the page) | A Material 3 rounded square; a labelled pill; the old 64 circle | The common web convention for back to top; round tells it apart from every toolbar button; 64 was oversized |
| 2026-09-24 | Device contract | Tablet portrait + landscape and up; phones out | A 1024px floor with a "too small" message | Portrait tablet use is real, and the app already renders at 820 portrait |
| 2026-09-24 | Card actions on touch | Fewer visible, the rest in a "…" menu | 44px buttons that no longer fit the card | Six 44px targets need more width than a card has |
| 2026-09-24 | Action placement | One menu with several triggers, never gesture-only, a desktop background menu that mirrors the toolbar | Visible buttons for everything | Fewer non-critical buttons on screen, without hiding any function |
| 2026-09-24 | Text selection | Text stays selectable; a click that ends a selection does nothing | Click-to-play on titles | The user must be able to copy any text the app shows |
| 2026-09-24 | A1 Button shape | r8 + a rung per context; glass is a Button variant | r12; a pill | Nested corners (r8 in r12 in r16); the pill already means "a filter or a choice" |
| 2026-09-24 | A2 Icon buttons | Two sizes, r8; a round button only on media | One size; all round | A lone toolbar icon at the row size looks lost; round rows read as tags |
| 2026-09-24 | A3 Touch size | 44 for every control primitive | 36 + gaps; Button only | One rule (HIG 44) instead of two sizes nobody remembers |
| 2026-09-24 | A4 Input | Bordered, a 55% fg-into-bg edge (≥ 3:1) | Filled; today's look as a primitive | The only option that clears WCAG 1.4.11 without a heavy fill on glass |
| 2026-09-24 | A5 Dropdown trigger | Pill in a toolbar, r8 in a form | Pill everywhere; r8 everywhere | Matches the neighbours in each context |
| 2026-09-24 | A6 Checkbox, switch, slider | Native, accent-tinted, the row is the target | Drawn primitives | Free keyboard / screen-reader / forced-colours support; only 3 sites |
| 2026-09-24 | B1 Density | Compact 32 / 28 / 24 by explicit height | Standard 38 / 32 / 26 | The owner's read of the lab; touch is covered separately (A3), and one toolbar row lines up at 28 |
| 2026-09-24 | B2 Scheme set | Midnight, Forest→cyan, Slate→fuchsia, Matrix→lime | Today's six | The accent collided with danger (YouTube), warn (Slate) and success (Forest, Matrix); Midnight and Starship were one scheme twice; 4 of 6 light accents failed 4.5:1 |
| 2026-09-24 | B3 State layers | Text colour at 10% / 16% over anything | Material's 8 / 12%; today's opacity + bg-card | Visible in every scheme and mode (≥ 1.2:1); today's row hover was 1.00:1 on a card |
| 2026-09-24 | B4 Page chrome | One sticky band + fade; filters fold when short | A floating glass bar; everything scrolls | Tabs and filters always in reach, in one place; a keyboard-up tablet keeps its content |
| 2026-09-24 | B5 Surfaces | One class + radius per role | Today's per-site mix | Nested corners and no per-site alpha drift |
| 2026-09-24 | B6 /watch | The app's surfaces, native video controls | Flat and minimal | The page strangers see should look like the product; native controls work on any device |
| 2026-09-24 | B7 Nav rail | Soft tint + edge bar, optional labels (a user setting), slim | Solid accent (recommended); a Material rail | The owner's combination: calmer than a solid fill, labels for who wants them, no width cost |
| 2026-09-24 | B8 Loading | Skeleton by shape, spinner in a control | A spinner everywhere | Nothing jumps when data lands; a long wait doesn't look stuck |
| 2026-09-24 | B9 Fade | Toolbars / headers, panel tabs, dialog edges, chip rows | Thumbnails; buttons | The north-star depth where content scrolls under chrome; not on content or small controls |
| 2026-09-24 | C1 Action classification | The table (lab C1): state + primary at rest, everyday toggles on hover, "…" on touch, destructive into the menu | Visible buttons per site, as today | One action list per object, nothing gesture-only, fewer buttons without losing a function |
| 2026-09-24 | C2 Side panels | A tap opens an overlay drawer; pin is a separate button ≥ 1024 | A tap pins and the content reflows | Below 768 the filters were unreachable; on touch a tap pinned and pushed the grid |
| 2026-09-24 | C3 Players on touch | Tap = show the controls; 44px seek hit area; 44 buttons; the YT description behind ⓘ | Today (tap also pauses; 7.5px seek bar) | Measured live: you couldn't reach the seek bar without pausing, and the hover-only description never opened on a tap |
| 2026-09-24 | C4 Dialogs | Focus by purpose; a pinned footer | Focus on Close; the footer scrolls | A form starts in its first field, and Save stays on screen with the keyboard up |
| 2026-09-24 | C5 Plex player controls | The owner's lean set: no Stop / Restart / ±10 s buttons, Back by position, Next only with a next item, Resume + From the start on the card, touch double-tap ±10 s | Every control in one row (it ran off-screen below 1024); Back by a press counter; ±10 s keyboard-only | The row fits a portrait tablet; the decision to restart is made on the card; a tablet keeps the 10 s skip |
| 2026-09-24 | Glass tuner | Retired; the schemes are the only colour choice | Keep it with ranges clamped to the rules | Free tuning is the drift the constitution exists to stop (owner) |
| 2026-09-24 | Matrix toned down | Moss #86a05a at Midnight's lightness, near-neutral greys; every white-on-accent part → `--accent-fg` | The B2 lime #a3e635 | The owner found the lime neon and tiring; it was the loudest accent (L 0.85, C 0.21), and fixed white parts sat on it at 1.5:1 |
| 2026-09-24 | Field primitives | `Input` / `Textarea` / `InnerInput` + `fieldClass`, `SelectTrigger`, the native controls; the lint rule "no raw `<input>`" | `inputCls` and ~40 hand-styled boxes | Six edges, four radii and two focus looks for one control; the ≥ 3:1 edge held nowhere |
| 2026-09-25 | Surface roles | `SURFACE` roles in `ui/surfaces.ts`; the lint rule "no bare glass class"; menus p-1 with r8 rows | Three tiers paired ad hoc with five radii and three menu paddings | ~140 sites drifted; nested corners only hold if the radius comes with the role |
| 2026-09-25 | Static labels | Flat tonal `Badge`, no edge; a filtering tag is an edged chip | A glass pill with an edge, like the chips | Edged = pressable at a glance; a static tag that looks like a chip gets clicked and does nothing |
| 2026-09-25 | Header search | A 40 glass pill with the field edge (`lg`); what sits inside it is round | 44, r16, a glass box with a faint edge | The one rounded box among pills, and its edge under 3:1; the hero search is the YouTube/Gmail pill |
| 2026-09-25 | Switch row (F12) | The whole settings row toggles (`SwitchRow`; a hand-laid row points a label at the switch) | Only the 36×24 switch toggles | The iOS / Material settings row; the text was a dead click beside the control it names |
| 2026-09-25 | Edges and hovers (F14) | The ≥ 3:1 edge on the field family (fields, the form trigger); labelled pills keep the faint edge and the accent-edge hover | The ≥ 3:1 edge and a state-layer hover on every control | 1.4.11 asks an edge only where nothing else identifies the control; a heavy edge on every chip and tab weighs the whole UI down |
| 2026-09-25 | Rating and live (F16) | Own tokens: `--rating` (theme-scoped gold), `--live`/`--live-fg`, `--rating-media`, `--media-chrome`; palette classes lint-refused | Map them to `--warn` / `--danger` | A gold star and a red LIVE are what the eye expects; as warn/danger they would read as a status. The old amber score was 2:1 on light |
| 2026-09-25 | Fjord trial (B2 exception) | A fifth scheme, temporary: Midnight's neutrals, Playnite's steel accent (#337599 lifted to #5aa1cb) and steel rules; exit = fold into Midnight or remove | Retune Midnight straight away; borrow only the qualities | The owner wants to live with the calmer palette app-wide before it replaces the default; it breaks "own hue family" on purpose, and only until that call |
| 2026-09-25 | Whole-card row (owner) | A card row's B3 layer is the card's `::before` under its content; the open button's hit layer spans the card, the actions sit above it | The name button's own hover, ending at the first badge or button | A row that half-answers the pointer reads as broken; a badge click did nothing |
| 2026-09-25 | Badge tones (F29) | `Badge tone` neutral / accent / warn at 6%; light `--warn` #b45309 → #a14a07; edged label spans lint-refused | Keep edged status pills (a private Badge in Users, Settings "Granted", the suggestions count) | Edged = pressable at a glance; amber-700 was 4.58:1 as text and fell under 4.5 on its own tint |
| 2026-09-26 | Page band built (B4) | Controls only in the band (intros scroll); the fold shows the same row in place; one `h1` per page (`PageHeading` steps the hidden one aside); `SectionLabel` headings; Skip to content | A popover of the folded filters; the page title kept visible | A folded row is still the same controls, nothing duplicated; the rail and the tab title already name the page |
| 2026-09-26 | Fade built (B9) | `fade-below` on sticky toolbars and table headers; the scroller mask where the band sits on the backdrop | A painted band over the backdrop | The backdrop is the colour under the band, so fading the content into it is the same edge |
| 2026-09-26 | Viewport units | `dvh` everywhere (the Plex player stage with S3f) | `vh` / `h-screen` | `100vh` hides the last rows under a tablet browser's toolbar |
| 2026-09-26 | Video actions built (C1) | One list per video (menu, right-click, long-press, "…"); the card keeps watched / save / add to playlist on its picture on hover; download, details, copy, hide, reset in the menu | The six-button row under the card and the hover ⓘ | The menu is the one door every device has; the card loses a line of height and the touch card its row of 28px buttons |
| 2026-09-26 | Plex actions built (C1) | One list per Plex title (play/open, watched, add to playlist, media info, copy title, pin); the poster keeps watched / add / "…" on its picture on hover; seasons get open / watched / add / copy | The hover ⓘ, the pin-only menu, an episode's add button at rest, a collection's "Remove" X on the card | The same door as a video's; the collection grid goes to two columns on a phone so the touch "…" leaves the title its line |
| 2026-09-26 | Playlist actions built (C1) | A playlist row's "…" (play, pin, copy title / link, move, order, remove), Delete + an undo toast; one list per playlist (rename, pin, YouTube open / push / revert, delete) from its rail row and its header's "…" | The row's X column and its confirm; the header's pencil, YouTube link, push, revert and trash buttons | Remove is reversible, so it needs no confirm; the header keeps Play all; a narrow table drops "#" and Channel so the title keeps a width |
| 2026-09-26 | Channel + Plex list actions (C1) | A channel row's "…" (open, pin, YouTube, copy, full history, hide + undo, unsubscribe); a Plex playlist's title / show / season "…", Delete + undo; its header's "…" (rename, delete); an action toast lasts ≥ 8 s | The channel row's full-history, hide and unsubscribe buttons; the Plex list's red X on every row, show and season; the header's pencil and trash | Hiding and removing are reversible, so they need no confirm and the undo needs time; unsubscribe and deleting a playlist keep theirs |
| 2026-09-26 | Download / notification / Scheduler actions (C1) | A download row's "…" (play, share, save, edit, details, re-download, manage sharing, copies, cancel / delete / remove); a library row's Share stays in sight, ahead of save; a notification row's "…" and hover dismiss; the inbox band's and the Scheduler strip's "…" | The download row's five rare buttons and its cancel / delete / remove; the source link's copy button; an activity notice's Find / Undo links; the band's Clear everything; the strip's Purge discovery | The destructive rows keep their confirm, and Clear everything gains one; a row link keeps the browser's own menu; Find in feed drops the tag / search / age filters that could hide its video |
| 2026-09-26 | Channel menu: Tags + Priority (C1) | Tags A–Z as in-place checks; Priority as fixed steps 10 · 5 · 3 · 2 · 1 · 0, the current one ticked; a pick re-sorts at once and the page + focus follow the row; one drawn `MenuCheck` for every checkable row that cannot be an `<input>` | Relative steps (+1 / +5); straight to the top; the stepper only; seven hand-drawn check marks (three box sizes, a tinted box, a × for "on", a trailing tick) | Bubbling a channel up is one pick; fixed levels keep the scale the reader already uses; the list moving where the reader can see it is the feedback |
| 2026-09-26 | Reorder without a drag (WCAG 2.5.7) | Row menus: Top / Up / Down / Bottom (YouTube + Plex playlists); saved views: four buttons with the place beside the selected view (owner: A); side panels in edit mode: an Up / Down pair per group (owner: A), the name wrapping there | A "…" on every saved-view row; a "…" on every panel group; drag only | A visible, one-click path where the list is edited; the edge moves shown off so the buttons never shift |
| 2026-09-26 | Titles in click surfaces | The surface stays a button, flagged `selectable`: its text selects, and the click that ends a selection does nothing; every plain `Pressable` pinned with its reason | Rebuilding each card and row so the title sits outside the button; exceptions for master-detail lists | Chrome selects inside a button once it is `user-select: text` (measured), so one flag on the primitive keeps the keyboard, focus and list walking every surface already has |
| 2026-09-26 | Right-click on a selection | The browser's own menu opens on selected words; beside them the object's menu | A "Copy selection" row in the app menu | The reader selected the words to do something with them; the native menu copies, searches and translates, and changes nothing else |
| 2026-09-26 | Keyboard ring on a flush row | Inside the row (a table row by its tag, a log line, a show header in its clipping card, with the card's corners) | The ring outside, as on a card | Outside it ran under the table head and past the table, and a clipping card cut it away entirely (invisible focus) |
| 2026-09-26 | Fade at rest | The sticky header's fade appears with the first 1rem of scroll (a scroll-driven animation; no fade where unsupported) | A fade that is always drawn | At rest it dimmed the first row and hid its ring's top edge; nothing is under the header yet |
| 2026-09-26 | Narrow playlist table | "#" and Channel hide by the table's own width (under 42rem), not the window's | Hiding below the `sm` window width | Beside the playlist rail a desktop window left the table 432 px and the title 0 px |
| 2026-09-26 | Background menu built | Five list pages (feed, Plex grid, channels, playlist, notifications); the toolbar's sort / view / filters and the band's actions; no destructive row | Every page with a toolbar; the "…" menus copied whole, delete included | The tab-only pages have nothing a menu would add; a blank-area right-click must not be one click from delete |
| 2026-09-26 | Media card anatomy (C) | One frame; the meta line pinned to its bottom; the length a badge on the picture; the Plex card on the same primitive as the video card | A: the year as an overline over the title; B: the year inline after it; a fixed two-line title slot | A one-line title left a hole the eye reads as a missing line; C puts nothing under a variable-height title |
| 2026-09-26 | One Play | `MediaPlayGlyph` (the media button variant) and only where the click plays | The Plex card's hand-painted accent circle; a playable dot on every card | One Play for every card; a dot that only a colour and a tooltip explain says nothing |
| 2026-09-26 | Filtering values on the info page | A value that filters (year, certificate, studio, director) is an edged chip; a fact is flat text | Everything flat, the clickable ones only hover-tinted | The S3d rule: edged = pressable, so the reader sees which values do something |
| 2026-09-26 | Shelf density | On any strip: one title line over one meta line | The grid's two lines and full meta on a strip | The tallest card set the strip's height and left holes in the cards with less to say |
| 2026-09-26 | Compact list row (B) | The title leads; a faint "…" at the end; the toggles float over the date on hover | A leading 128px action column | That column sat empty at rest, a hole at the start of every row |
| 2026-09-26 | Media-info layout (B) | A main column (collections first, crew, cast) beside a facts sidebar; an empty column is not drawn | Every section full width, stacked | The collection is the most used; the keywords' column left a void beside a short details box |
| 2026-09-26 | Mixed Home shelf (A) | Plex titles as wide art beside videos | Posters, with the videos not stretched | Stretching a video card to a poster's height left an ~80px gap |
| 2026-09-27 | Home hero | A card (hover row + Play on the picture, the whole menu, a touch "…"; owner: A); three quarters wide and centred on a wide window; one fact line; the summary at the measure | The hero's pin row alone; full width; an 18rem picture column | The one answer stands in focus, and it offers what the same card offers anywhere |
| 2026-09-27 | Home shelf tiles | A channel / playlist tile: Play, ↗ open, "…" with Open; a show acts on its next episode, ⓘ opens it; the shelf slot 232px | The tile's pin row alone; 200px | A tile without its object's actions read as broken; at 200 the Play touched the hover row |
| 2026-09-27 | Synopsis preview (C) | A ~0.9 s mouse rest opens a passive panel beside the card | The synopsis as the picture's `title` tooltip; an ⓘ to hover; none | One long tooltip line fired anywhere on the art and clashed with the cut title's own tooltip |
| 2026-09-27 | Reading measure | Prose capped at ~65 characters a line (`measure`) | The container's full width | At 110–130 characters a line the eye loses the next line's start |
| 2026-09-24 | Chip family | One `Chip` (filter / token / tag / suggest / ghost) + `DismissibleChip`; nothing under 24; the lint rule "no raw `<button>` outside ui/" | Five chip geometries in five files | The applied-filter row, the tag cells, the year picker and the saved-view editor each drew their own chip; a one-letter tag was 21px wide |
| 2026-09-24 | Button families | `Button` / `IconButton` / `Pressable` / chips / `DragHandle`; `lg` 40 for a hero CTA; pills and a 48 Play on media (from C5) | Every button hand-painted | 268 hand-rolled buttons in 79 files drifted into as many looks; the ladder only holds if every button stands on it |
| 2026-09-27 | C4 as built | `initialFocus` required on every `Modal`; the commit row in `ModalFooter`, portalled under the body from any depth; the fades driven by the body's scroll timeline; `interactive-widget=resizes-content` | An optional prop defaulting to the ✕; a `footer` prop (the issue composer's buttons live three components down); always-on fades | A default is how 21 dialogs came to open on the ✕; lifting the composer's state to reach a prop is the larger change; a resting fade dimmed the first line |
| 2026-09-27 | C3 + C5 as built | A tap toggles the bar through `pointerType` from `pointerdown`; a double-tap takes back its first tap's toggle; the card's pair is the video card's `MediaResumeButtons` (Continue / Restart), a sibling over the picture; the YT description is an ⓘ click popover | A delayed single tap (wait out the double-tap window); new "Resume / From the start" words for Plex; the pair inside the picture's button | A delayed tap feels dead; one media card says one pair of words; a button inside a button is invalid and the hover row already sits beside the picture |
| 2026-09-27 | C2 as built | The side panel's drawer is `ui/Modal` `drawer-start`; drawer = a coarse pointer or below 768; the pin offered in its header ≥ 1024 | A drawer of its own inside `SidePanel` | Esc, Back, the scrim, the trap and the scroll lock are the dialog's; a second implementation is how two shells drift |
| 2026-09-30 | Composition and the reader (E30 S6) | A chapter and a Conformance step: the space is used, one focal point, worst real data, where am I, a click answers at once, zoom and text size first-class; the person page as two columns (facts and bio left, "Known for" right) | Rules for pieces only; the bio in a full-width panel; a narrower panel | The person page passed every piece rule with half its panel empty; the owner reads zoomed in, so zoom is a requirement, not a nicety |
| 2026-09-30 | Hungarian words (E30 S5) | The D3 list: Feed, Shorts, Admin, Token, Port stay; stream, Prio, Job, Audit, Demo, Auto, Info, Frontend/Backend, Backfill, transcode get the Hungarian word; one name per thing (kérelem, behúzás, one "Test connection") | Keep every loanword; translate Feed/Shorts too | The owner chose the list (D3); the final sweep found the same feature under two names in three places |
| 2026-09-29 | Numbers and order in the UI language (E30 S3) | Every number through `lib/format.ts` in the UI language (decimal mark, grouping, compact, units); A→Z by the shown name in the UI language's alphabet, client and server alike; the language comes off `useTranslation`, never the singleton | `toFixed`, hand-built "1.2K", `localeCompare` in the browser's locale, byte-order server sorts | A Hungarian reader saw "8.3", "1.2K", "Életrajzi" after "Z"; the singleton read also left values in the old language after a switch (React Compiler) |
| 2026-09-27 | Narrow rows by container | The download row, the playlist table and the Channels tag row stack by a container query; a fact line never wraps | Breakpoints on the window | The iPad zoomed in, split screen and a column beside a rail are narrow while the window is not; the zoomed download row broke "18.9 / MB" apart |
| 2026-09-27 | Phones deferred | A phone-only layout (the hamburger nav, a folded feed band) waits for its own epic; E28 stays desktop + tablet | Fix the phone views inside E28 | Principle 2; the first phone attempts made the feed worse, and the epic's review grows with every sprint |
| 2026-09-27 | Conformance check (S3g) | A four-step check before a UI change is done: primitive at a named rung, the chapter re-read, the rendered page measured by kind and look, every state seen | A reviewer's eye per sprint | The S1 probe found 69 button looks; after S3 every control kind is drawn by its primitive, and the check keeps a new look from arriving unnoticed |
| 2026-09-27 | Segmented rung | `SegmentedToggle` defaults to the toolbar rung (28, `text-xs`); 24 only for a panel's captioned match toggle | The small default | Two toolbars had inherited 10px type from the default beside 28px buttons |
| 2026-09-27 | Copy rule (S3g) | One name per feature (the rail may shorten it); four verbs for four meanings; sentence case with the app's places capitalised; "…" when a command asks first; one-sentence messages without a stop; curly quotes; dates relative in lists with the exact minute on hover, three absolute forms; units from Intl, short | Word-for-word names everywhere; the verbs as they were; all lower case; no "…"; always a stop; always absolute dates; long or compact units | The copy survey found 7 EN and 6 HU double names, 22 Delete against 27 Remove, five date shapes and three spellings of a minute; the owner picked every recommended option |
| 2026-09-27 | One glyph, one meaning (S4) | Play only for playback or resuming a paused transfer; Retry = `RefreshCw`; reset / revert = `RotateCcw` | Retry drawn with Play | The first UI-review run (Downloads) found a failed row whose Retry showed ▷ in the row and its menu |
| 2026-09-27 | Fjord kept | Fjord stays a fifth scheme beside Midnight; the trial wording goes | Fold it into Midnight; remove it | The owner lived with it and likes it; the vivid Midnight stays for those who want it. B2's own-hue rule still binds any new scheme |
| 2026-09-27 | Tablet columns | A table hides `tabletHidden` columns below 64rem of its own width; Channels drops Prio, About, Length | Hide About only; give the name a bigger share | At 1024 the channel name had 60 px; the owner chose to drop all three there |
| 2026-09-27 | Glyph pager | First / previous / next / last as glyph buttons round the page box, names as tooltips | Words beside the arrows (hidden only on a phone) | The owner's call: the words widened the row; four arrows are the shared convention |
| 2026-09-27 | Match switch on the panel | `ui/MatchToggle` above the picker from two picks, everywhere; one wording (Any / All) | The picker's popover footer (Feed, Plex collection) | A closed picker hid an active "all"; six pickers had drawn it two ways |
| 2026-09-27 | Missing picture, bare link | A glyph of the kind for no picture; a download with no name is titled by its short link, once | An empty box; the URL as title, channel and link | The owner's picks 4A and 3A: an empty box read as loading, the URL showed three times |
| 2026-09-27 | Copy on a selection | Right-click on selected words keeps the browser's menu; no app Copy row | An app menu with Copy first | A real browser's menu has copy, search and translate; only the desktop pane's is thin |
| 2026-10-01 | Zoom target 125–133% | Screens are held at 125% and 133% browser zoom (1536 × 729, 1444 × 685 on a 1080p window) and the largest text size | 200% browser zoom | The owner: 200% was a guess; 125–133% is what they read Siftlode and most sites at, so 200% would be an upper bound nobody uses |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Nav rail at short heights | One "Admin" rail item opening a panel of the admin pages | A denser rail when short; a visible "+4" hint | The rail fits at 133–150% without a hidden scroll; the admin pages are rare and admin-only |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Configuration sections | A vertical, grouped section list, as Settings has | Group tabs + sub-tabs; one long page with a contents list | Sixteen tabs wrapped to three rows at 133%; one pattern for both settings pages |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Statistics overview | Number tiles, and the per-operation counts as horizontal bars | Three narrow cards; a 30-day chart | The label sits by its value; what spends the quota is seen at a glance |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Channel page header | The full banner, folding to one row once the grid scrolls | Always compact; no banner | The header is fixed and took 40% of a 685px window; the channel keeps its face at first sight |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Channel page watch state | A fresh channel page shows the unwatched videos; a picked state is remembered | Show all, forgotten on reload | The owner: open a channel to see what is new; a choice made there should stick |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Audit log runs | A job's successful runs fold into one row that opens, whatever ran between; only that job's failure (never folded, danger colour) breaks it | A filter defaulting to admin actions; both | Nothing hidden, the noise collapsed, the failure seen |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Users row | Role and state as badges, the actions in the row's one menu | An inline role toggle; icon-only buttons | Action placement: the row shows state, rare and destructive actions live in the menu |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 YouTube player | Video beside an info panel at 1280px and wider (the video as large as the height allows); stacked below | Today's stack with a one-line bar; full-window like Plex | The owner's eyesight: about 1460px of video on 1080p instead of 1008, the actions still visible |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Plex info and show pages | A second column for the facts, keywords and crew, as the person page; a collection's hero sized to its content | Full-width text; a larger poster and fanart | The right ~40% was empty; one composition for every media page |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Nav rail rows are links | Each page row is a real link: a middle-click or Ctrl-click opens the page in a new tab | A button | The owner: open a page in a tab of its own, as on any site |
| 2026-10-02 | E31 Plex detail second column (refined) | The facts over the key crew beside the text; the keywords, chips that filter like the genres, under the text; the show page gets all three too | All three in the column, as the mockup drew it | At 20 keywords and 12 crew the column ran to twice the text's height (849 vs ~400 px at 133%): a hole under the text instead of beside it |
| 2026-10-02 | E31 Plex detail poster and crew | The movie and show poster keeps its 2:3 and grows a rung in a wide hero (w-56 at a 64rem panel); the crew shows its first 6 names and "Show N more" (a list of 8 or fewer shows whole) | Poster stretched to the row; a "More" on the keywords | The row is as tall as the crew column, so the poster drew ~175×590 and cropped; the crew, not the keywords, set the hero's height |
| 2026-10-04 | E32 `field` focus skips a mode switch | A form opens on its first field; a control above it that is not a field (the composer's Edit / Preview) is passed over by marking the field `data-initial-focus` | The first text field everywhere | That moved the focus in the download dialog off its profile choice and in the upload dialog off its drop zone; the mark changes only the form that needs it |
| 2026-10-04 | E35 Lint for z-levels and edged labels | Both rules stay; the two eslint selectors (`Z_RAW`, `EDGED_LABEL`) that refused them go | Keep the selectors | 0 hits since the E28 sweep that fixed the sites: a check that never fires costs a probe test and a snapshot each, and the UI review holds both rules |
| 2026-10-06 | `player` focus | A dialog that is a player opens focused on its panel (the YouTube player's rule, now `Modal`'s too); on the media element itself, Space and the arrows stay the element's own | `close`, or the media element | On the ✕ Space closed the player; on the element the browser's own controls acted on the same key as the player's (one Space played and paused, measured in Chrome) |
| 2026-10-08 | Captions on touch | A `Tooltip` opens for a mouse and a key's focus only, never for a finger | A caption on tap; a long-press caption | On an iPad the tap that showed the caption was taken as a hover and lost its click (every rail button took two taps), and no finger sends the mouseleave that hides it; the rail's labels setting names the buttons on touch |
| 2026-10-08 | Header search on touch | No key cap on a touch screen; the pill grows to 52 px so a ring shows round the 44 px Go; Go drops to its icon by the column's width | Keep the key cap; a 44 px Go overhanging a 40 px pill | On a tablet the 44 px key cap and Go sat on the pill's edge and cut the placeholder; an overhanging Go breaks the nested radii |
| 2026-10-08 | Plex subtitles and the control bar | The player draws the cues itself; while the bar shows they rise above it (200 ms), then settle back | The browser's own cues, moved by `line` | On an iPad the bar covered the text; a native cue cannot be animated or measured, and our layer behaves the same on every engine |
| 2026-10-08 | Hover on a button over a picture | The `media` variant's hover is a 2px accent ring over a darker body (Plex + YT cards, rail arrows; option B) | An accent fill (reads as "selected"); a white wash (weak on a bright poster) | The 60 → 75% black step was invisible, and over a card a rail arrow could not be told from the card's own Play under it |
| 2026-10-08 | Plex "Add to collection" | A movie or show card's menu row opens a panel beside the card: its library's manual collections tick in place, a name + Enter creates one with the title in it (admin; option A) | An Add submenu with a "New…" dialog; the per-title editor modal from the menu | A collection took a trip to the Collections page, a name, a title search, then a second search per title; the panel is the video card's "Add to playlist" |
| 2026-10-08 | YouTube modal chrome | No prev/next strips beside the card; Close an icon (the panel's top right; stacked, the title row's end); the description clamped to three lines + More; the panel shuts to a 2.75rem strip of close, expand, prev/next (option D1) | Keep the strips; a "Close" text button; the full description in a scroller; a panel that hides outright | The strips cost the video 7rem of width for a second copy of the panel's buttons; a long description pushed the channel and the actions out of sight; a hidden panel left no way to step the queue without the keyboard |
| 2026-10-08 | The wheel over the YouTube modal | Over the video: volume. Over a panel with something to scroll: scroll only, never volume, not even at its end. Over a panel with nothing to scroll: volume (owner) | Volume everywhere; a scroll that hands over to the volume at its end | Reading a long description turned the volume down once it hit the end |
| 2026-10-09 | A Plex show card plays | Its picture plays the show's next episode everywhere (an episode with a resume point → Continue + Restart, else the first unwatched, else S1·E1), resolved on the click; the preview names it once up; title and ⓘ open the show (option A + hover ask) | The picture opens the show page (as before); every card carrying `next` | A show card on Discover had no Play while Home's had one; carrying `next` costs a grid page up to 180 queries for the few cards anyone plays |
| 2026-10-10 | Clip mode in the players (E38) | Scissors in the control row + `C`, `[` `]`; the panel in the player with the watched video as preview; overview + zoomed strip on `ui/RangeTrack` (ends are sliders); a toast + the Ready notification after Cut | A ⋯ menu entry; permanent In / Out buttons; a big dialog with its own preview (a second Plex transcode / YouTube iframe) | Owner's picks A, P1, a; a film is hours and a clip seconds, so only a zoomed strip gives a hand the precision. The Downloads editor's cuts moved onto the same track (keyboard-steppable now) |
| 2026-10-10 | Crop in clip mode (E38) | A Crop toggle in the clip panel: a frame over the playing picture (`ui/CropFrame`, the editor's crop too), Free / 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1, Whole picture; maximised YouTube keeps the panel in the bar's place; the wide side panel shuts while clipping | A frame always on the picture in clip mode (K2); a free shape only | Owner's K1 + a: a crop is rare, so it never covers the picture unasked; a phone or square clip needs a held shape. The iframe hides its picture's size: drawn on the 16:9 box, the cut fits it to the real picture |
| 2026-10-10 | Marks on the player chrome | `--media-mark` (amber) and `--media-danger` (light red), the same in both themes; `media-marks` points the focus ring (`--focus`) and the chosen mark (`--chosen`: a track's tick, a tab's underline; the label stays white) at the amber on the player and every chrome surface; `media-scope` (a form) also the errors at the red | The theme's accent ring, chosen text, warn and danger | On the chrome (#171717) a light theme's accent ring (Slate 2.84:1), warn (2.99:1) and danger (2.77:1) all fall under 3:1; the accent as chosen text under 4.5:1 |
| 2026-10-11 | Files page (one library) | List rows by default, the media grid a toggle remembered per folder; a sidebar of automatic source folders, own folders, Shared with me and the storage meter; the paste-a-link box in the toolbar | A media grid by default | The library holds videos AND plain files: rows read both, show more per screen and scan by size and date |
| 2026-10-11 | Library list columns | Every kind of value in its own column (name, source, phone-safe, retention, size, added, actions), one grid with a subgrid per row so they line up; an action that does not apply keeps its slot empty; a right-click menu on every row (the ⋯ opens the same menu) | Badges flowing after the title; icons that shift when one is missing | Owner: values of one kind must fall in one vertical line; a row's every action reachable by right click |
| 2026-10-11 | Running downloads | An app-wide tray, bottom right, shown only while something runs or failed (reason + retry), foldable to a pill | A rail icon with a count and a popover | Downloading became an action you start anywhere; a running one must be visible without going to look |
| 2026-10-11 | Download done | The notification says whether it plays on a phone and carries Link másolása + Megnyitás (the folder, the item focused); never an automatic jump | A plain "ready" notice; auto-navigation to the item | The daily path is paste → done → copy the link; a jump would pull the user out of what they were doing |
| 2026-10-11 | Library row quick icons (owner A) | On a wide list only the ⋯ holds a place; Copy link, Share and Save come up over the date while the row is hovered or holds the keyboard; a card (phone) keeps them in its own line; Keeps narrower | Three icons always in sight (the name kept ~150px at 1200); dropping Added below 64rem | Owner: the name is what a row is read by; every action stays in the ⋯ and the right-click menu |
| 2026-10-12 | Files preview (owner ★) | A file that is not media opens from its name in the dialog shell, wide: an image, a PDF in the browser's own viewer, text as numbered plain text (HTML and SVG too) with a wrap toggle, else a no-preview card with Save; ← / → page the list's such files in its order; an image under 8 MB is its own thumbnail | A side panel beside the list; a new browser tab; pdf.js; syntax highlighting; a click that saves a file without a preview | Owner: one way to open anything, paged like the list; the browser's PDF viewer is free and isolated; a page is never rendered on our origin |
| 2026-10-12 | A running download's step (owner ★) | The tray row names the step beside its bar ("Downloading audio · 12%", "Merging" with a pulse); a paused-only tray shows a pause mark, never the done check | A bare bar and % | A download fetches video and audio as two streams: unnamed, the second fill reads as a restart; the tray is the only place a download is followed |
| 2026-10-14 | API tokens (owner A/A/A) | Settings → API tokens: a row per token in three lines (name + prefix, its folders and rights, last use and expiry), revoked from its ⋯; a new token asks the kind first (Hub exchange or Custom: rights as chips per folder), expiry 1 year by default; the token shows once in the same dialog, with Copy and a curl line | A table; one form with a preset link; the token in a banner above the list | A table truncates the rights at this width; the common token never shows a matrix to get wrong; closing the dialog is plainly when the token is gone |
| Date | Decision | Chosen | Over | Why |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 2026-09-24 | Floating button | Back to top: a round 48 glass FAB; "round" = floats over something (media or the page) | A Material 3 rounded square; a labelled pill; the old 64 circle | The common web convention for back to top; round tells it apart from every toolbar button; 64 was oversized |
| 2026-09-24 | Device contract | Tablet portrait + landscape and up; phones out | A 1024px floor with a "too small" message | Portrait tablet use is real, and the app already renders at 820 portrait |
| 2026-09-24 | Card actions on touch | Fewer visible, the rest in a "…" menu | 44px buttons that no longer fit the card | Six 44px targets need more width than a card has |
| 2026-09-24 | Action placement | One menu with several triggers, never gesture-only, a desktop background menu that mirrors the toolbar | Visible buttons for everything | Fewer non-critical buttons on screen, without hiding any function |
| 2026-09-24 | Text selection | Text stays selectable; a click that ends a selection does nothing | Click-to-play on titles | The user must be able to copy any text the app shows |
| 2026-09-24 | A1 Button shape | r8 + a rung per context; glass is a Button variant | r12; a pill | Nested corners (r8 in r12 in r16); the pill already means "a filter or a choice" |
| 2026-09-24 | A2 Icon buttons | Two sizes, r8; a round button only on media | One size; all round | A lone toolbar icon at the row size looks lost; round rows read as tags |
| 2026-09-24 | A3 Touch size | 44 for every control primitive | 36 + gaps; Button only | One rule (HIG 44) instead of two sizes nobody remembers |
| 2026-09-24 | A4 Input | Bordered, a 55% fg-into-bg edge (≥ 3:1) | Filled; today's look as a primitive | The only option that clears WCAG 1.4.11 without a heavy fill on glass |
| 2026-09-24 | A5 Dropdown trigger | Pill in a toolbar, r8 in a form | Pill everywhere; r8 everywhere | Matches the neighbours in each context |
| 2026-09-24 | A6 Checkbox, switch, slider | Native, accent-tinted, the row is the target | Drawn primitives | Free keyboard / screen-reader / forced-colours support; only 3 sites |
| 2026-09-24 | B1 Density | Compact 32 / 28 / 24 by explicit height | Standard 38 / 32 / 26 | The owner's read of the lab; touch is covered separately (A3), and one toolbar row lines up at 28 |
| 2026-09-24 | B2 Scheme set | Midnight, Forest→cyan, Slate→fuchsia, Matrix→lime | Today's six | The accent collided with danger (YouTube), warn (Slate) and success (Forest, Matrix); Midnight and Starship were one scheme twice; 4 of 6 light accents failed 4.5:1 |
| 2026-09-24 | B3 State layers | Text colour at 10% / 16% over anything | Material's 8 / 12%; today's opacity + bg-card | Visible in every scheme and mode (≥ 1.2:1); today's row hover was 1.00:1 on a card |
| 2026-09-24 | B4 Page chrome | One sticky band + fade; filters fold when short | A floating glass bar; everything scrolls | Tabs and filters always in reach, in one place; a keyboard-up tablet keeps its content |
| 2026-09-24 | B5 Surfaces | One class + radius per role | Today's per-site mix | Nested corners and no per-site alpha drift |
| 2026-09-24 | B6 /watch | The app's surfaces, native video controls | Flat and minimal | The page strangers see should look like the product; native controls work on any device |
| 2026-09-24 | B7 Nav rail | Soft tint + edge bar, optional labels (a user setting), slim | Solid accent (recommended); a Material rail | The owner's combination: calmer than a solid fill, labels for who wants them, no width cost |
| 2026-09-24 | B8 Loading | Skeleton by shape, spinner in a control | A spinner everywhere | Nothing jumps when data lands; a long wait doesn't look stuck |
| 2026-09-24 | B9 Fade | Toolbars / headers, panel tabs, dialog edges, chip rows | Thumbnails; buttons | The north-star depth where content scrolls under chrome; not on content or small controls |
| 2026-09-24 | C1 Action classification | The table (lab C1): state + primary at rest, everyday toggles on hover, "…" on touch, destructive into the menu | Visible buttons per site, as today | One action list per object, nothing gesture-only, fewer buttons without losing a function |
| 2026-09-24 | C2 Side panels | A tap opens an overlay drawer; pin is a separate button ≥ 1024 | A tap pins and the content reflows | Below 768 the filters were unreachable; on touch a tap pinned and pushed the grid |
| 2026-09-24 | C3 Players on touch | Tap = show the controls; 44px seek hit area; 44 buttons; the YT description behind ⓘ | Today (tap also pauses; 7.5px seek bar) | Measured live: you couldn't reach the seek bar without pausing, and the hover-only description never opened on a tap |
| 2026-09-24 | C4 Dialogs | Focus by purpose; a pinned footer | Focus on Close; the footer scrolls | A form starts in its first field, and Save stays on screen with the keyboard up |
| 2026-09-24 | C5 Plex player controls | The owner's lean set: no Stop / Restart / ±10 s buttons, Back by position, Next only with a next item, Resume + From the start on the card, touch double-tap ±10 s | Every control in one row (it ran off-screen below 1024); Back by a press counter; ±10 s keyboard-only | The row fits a portrait tablet; the decision to restart is made on the card; a tablet keeps the 10 s skip |
| 2026-09-24 | Glass tuner | Retired; the schemes are the only colour choice | Keep it with ranges clamped to the rules | Free tuning is the drift the constitution exists to stop (owner) |
| 2026-09-24 | Matrix toned down | Moss #86a05a at Midnight's lightness, near-neutral greys; every white-on-accent part → `--accent-fg` | The B2 lime #a3e635 | The owner found the lime neon and tiring; it was the loudest accent (L 0.85, C 0.21), and fixed white parts sat on it at 1.5:1 |
| 2026-09-24 | Field primitives | `Input` / `Textarea` / `InnerInput` + `fieldClass`, `SelectTrigger`, the native controls; the lint rule "no raw `<input>`" | `inputCls` and ~40 hand-styled boxes | Six edges, four radii and two focus looks for one control; the ≥ 3:1 edge held nowhere |
| 2026-09-25 | Surface roles | `SURFACE` roles in `ui/surfaces.ts`; the lint rule "no bare glass class"; menus p-1 with r8 rows | Three tiers paired ad hoc with five radii and three menu paddings | ~140 sites drifted; nested corners only hold if the radius comes with the role |
| 2026-09-25 | Static labels | Flat tonal `Badge`, no edge; a filtering tag is an edged chip | A glass pill with an edge, like the chips | Edged = pressable at a glance; a static tag that looks like a chip gets clicked and does nothing |
| 2026-09-25 | Header search | A 40 glass pill with the field edge (`lg`); what sits inside it is round | 44, r16, a glass box with a faint edge | The one rounded box among pills, and its edge under 3:1; the hero search is the YouTube/Gmail pill |
| 2026-09-25 | Switch row (F12) | The whole settings row toggles (`SwitchRow`; a hand-laid row points a label at the switch) | Only the 36×24 switch toggles | The iOS / Material settings row; the text was a dead click beside the control it names |
| 2026-09-25 | Edges and hovers (F14) | The ≥ 3:1 edge on the field family (fields, the form trigger); labelled pills keep the faint edge and the accent-edge hover | The ≥ 3:1 edge and a state-layer hover on every control | 1.4.11 asks an edge only where nothing else identifies the control; a heavy edge on every chip and tab weighs the whole UI down |
| 2026-09-25 | Rating and live (F16) | Own tokens: `--rating` (theme-scoped gold), `--live`/`--live-fg`, `--rating-media`, `--media-chrome`; palette classes lint-refused | Map them to `--warn` / `--danger` | A gold star and a red LIVE are what the eye expects; as warn/danger they would read as a status. The old amber score was 2:1 on light |
| 2026-09-25 | Fjord trial (B2 exception) | A fifth scheme, temporary: Midnight's neutrals, Playnite's steel accent (#337599 lifted to #5aa1cb) and steel rules; exit = fold into Midnight or remove | Retune Midnight straight away; borrow only the qualities | The owner wants to live with the calmer palette app-wide before it replaces the default; it breaks "own hue family" on purpose, and only until that call |
| 2026-09-25 | Whole-card row (owner) | A card row's B3 layer is the card's `::before` under its content; the open button's hit layer spans the card, the actions sit above it | The name button's own hover, ending at the first badge or button | A row that half-answers the pointer reads as broken; a badge click did nothing |
| 2026-09-25 | Badge tones (F29) | `Badge tone` neutral / accent / warn at 6%; light `--warn` #b45309 → #a14a07; edged label spans lint-refused | Keep edged status pills (a private Badge in Users, Settings "Granted", the suggestions count) | Edged = pressable at a glance; amber-700 was 4.58:1 as text and fell under 4.5 on its own tint |
| 2026-09-26 | Page band built (B4) | Controls only in the band (intros scroll); the fold shows the same row in place; one `h1` per page (`PageHeading` steps the hidden one aside); `SectionLabel` headings; Skip to content | A popover of the folded filters; the page title kept visible | A folded row is still the same controls, nothing duplicated; the rail and the tab title already name the page |
| 2026-09-26 | Fade built (B9) | `fade-below` on sticky toolbars and table headers; the scroller mask where the band sits on the backdrop | A painted band over the backdrop | The backdrop is the colour under the band, so fading the content into it is the same edge |
| 2026-09-26 | Viewport units | `dvh` everywhere (the Plex player stage with S3f) | `vh` / `h-screen` | `100vh` hides the last rows under a tablet browser's toolbar |
| 2026-09-26 | Video actions built (C1) | One list per video (menu, right-click, long-press, "…"); the card keeps watched / save / add to playlist on its picture on hover; download, details, copy, hide, reset in the menu | The six-button row under the card and the hover ⓘ | The menu is the one door every device has; the card loses a line of height and the touch card its row of 28px buttons |
| 2026-09-26 | Plex actions built (C1) | One list per Plex title (play/open, watched, add to playlist, media info, copy title, pin); the poster keeps watched / add / "…" on its picture on hover; seasons get open / watched / add / copy | The hover ⓘ, the pin-only menu, an episode's add button at rest, a collection's "Remove" X on the card | The same door as a video's; the collection grid goes to two columns on a phone so the touch "…" leaves the title its line |
| 2026-09-26 | Playlist actions built (C1) | A playlist row's "…" (play, pin, copy title / link, move, order, remove), Delete + an undo toast; one list per playlist (rename, pin, YouTube open / push / revert, delete) from its rail row and its header's "…" | The row's X column and its confirm; the header's pencil, YouTube link, push, revert and trash buttons | Remove is reversible, so it needs no confirm; the header keeps Play all; a narrow table drops "#" and Channel so the title keeps a width |
| 2026-09-26 | Channel + Plex list actions (C1) | A channel row's "…" (open, pin, YouTube, copy, full history, hide + undo, unsubscribe); a Plex playlist's title / show / season "…", Delete + undo; its header's "…" (rename, delete); an action toast lasts ≥ 8 s | The channel row's full-history, hide and unsubscribe buttons; the Plex list's red X on every row, show and season; the header's pencil and trash | Hiding and removing are reversible, so they need no confirm and the undo needs time; unsubscribe and deleting a playlist keep theirs |
| 2026-09-26 | Download / notification / Scheduler actions (C1) | A download row's "…" (play, share, save, edit, details, re-download, manage sharing, copies, cancel / delete / remove); a library row's Share stays in sight, ahead of save; a notification row's "…" and hover dismiss; the inbox band's and the Scheduler strip's "…" | The download row's five rare buttons and its cancel / delete / remove; the source link's copy button; an activity notice's Find / Undo links; the band's Clear everything; the strip's Purge discovery | The destructive rows keep their confirm, and Clear everything gains one; a row link keeps the browser's own menu; Find in feed drops the tag / search / age filters that could hide its video |
| 2026-09-26 | Channel menu: Tags + Priority (C1) | Tags A–Z as in-place checks; Priority as fixed steps 10 · 5 · 3 · 2 · 1 · 0, the current one ticked; a pick re-sorts at once and the page + focus follow the row; one drawn `MenuCheck` for every checkable row that cannot be an `<input>` | Relative steps (+1 / +5); straight to the top; the stepper only; seven hand-drawn check marks (three box sizes, a tinted box, a × for "on", a trailing tick) | Bubbling a channel up is one pick; fixed levels keep the scale the reader already uses; the list moving where the reader can see it is the feedback |
| 2026-09-26 | Reorder without a drag (WCAG 2.5.7) | Row menus: Top / Up / Down / Bottom (YouTube + Plex playlists); saved views: four buttons with the place beside the selected view (owner: A); side panels in edit mode: an Up / Down pair per group (owner: A), the name wrapping there | A "…" on every saved-view row; a "…" on every panel group; drag only | A visible, one-click path where the list is edited; the edge moves shown off so the buttons never shift |
| 2026-09-26 | Titles in click surfaces | The surface stays a button, flagged `selectable`: its text selects, and the click that ends a selection does nothing; every plain `Pressable` pinned with its reason | Rebuilding each card and row so the title sits outside the button; exceptions for master-detail lists | Chrome selects inside a button once it is `user-select: text` (measured), so one flag on the primitive keeps the keyboard, focus and list walking every surface already has |
| 2026-09-26 | Right-click on a selection | The browser's own menu opens on selected words; beside them the object's menu | A "Copy selection" row in the app menu | The reader selected the words to do something with them; the native menu copies, searches and translates, and changes nothing else |
| 2026-09-26 | Keyboard ring on a flush row | Inside the row (a table row by its tag, a log line, a show header in its clipping card, with the card's corners) | The ring outside, as on a card | Outside it ran under the table head and past the table, and a clipping card cut it away entirely (invisible focus) |
| 2026-09-26 | Fade at rest | The sticky header's fade appears with the first 1rem of scroll (a scroll-driven animation; no fade where unsupported) | A fade that is always drawn | At rest it dimmed the first row and hid its ring's top edge; nothing is under the header yet |
| 2026-09-26 | Narrow playlist table | "#" and Channel hide by the table's own width (under 42rem), not the window's | Hiding below the `sm` window width | Beside the playlist rail a desktop window left the table 432 px and the title 0 px |
| 2026-09-26 | Background menu built | Five list pages (feed, Plex grid, channels, playlist, notifications); the toolbar's sort / view / filters and the band's actions; no destructive row | Every page with a toolbar; the "…" menus copied whole, delete included | The tab-only pages have nothing a menu would add; a blank-area right-click must not be one click from delete |
| 2026-09-26 | Media card anatomy (C) | One frame; the meta line pinned to its bottom; the length a badge on the picture; the Plex card on the same primitive as the video card | A: the year as an overline over the title; B: the year inline after it; a fixed two-line title slot | A one-line title left a hole the eye reads as a missing line; C puts nothing under a variable-height title |
| 2026-09-26 | One Play | `MediaPlayGlyph` (the media button variant) and only where the click plays | The Plex card's hand-painted accent circle; a playable dot on every card | One Play for every card; a dot that only a colour and a tooltip explain says nothing |
| 2026-09-26 | Filtering values on the info page | A value that filters (year, certificate, studio, director) is an edged chip; a fact is flat text | Everything flat, the clickable ones only hover-tinted | The S3d rule: edged = pressable, so the reader sees which values do something |
| 2026-09-26 | Shelf density | On any strip: one title line over one meta line | The grid's two lines and full meta on a strip | The tallest card set the strip's height and left holes in the cards with less to say |
| 2026-09-26 | Compact list row (B) | The title leads; a faint "…" at the end; the toggles float over the date on hover | A leading 128px action column | That column sat empty at rest, a hole at the start of every row |
| 2026-09-26 | Media-info layout (B) | A main column (collections first, crew, cast) beside a facts sidebar; an empty column is not drawn | Every section full width, stacked | The collection is the most used; the keywords' column left a void beside a short details box |
| 2026-09-26 | Mixed Home shelf (A) | Plex titles as wide art beside videos | Posters, with the videos not stretched | Stretching a video card to a poster's height left an ~80px gap |
| 2026-09-27 | Home hero | A card (hover row + Play on the picture, the whole menu, a touch "…"; owner: A); three quarters wide and centred on a wide window; one fact line; the summary at the measure | The hero's pin row alone; full width; an 18rem picture column | The one answer stands in focus, and it offers what the same card offers anywhere |
| 2026-09-27 | Home shelf tiles | A channel / playlist tile: Play, ↗ open, "…" with Open; a show acts on its next episode, ⓘ opens it; the shelf slot 232px | The tile's pin row alone; 200px | A tile without its object's actions read as broken; at 200 the Play touched the hover row |
| 2026-09-27 | Synopsis preview (C) | A ~0.9 s mouse rest opens a passive panel beside the card | The synopsis as the picture's `title` tooltip; an ⓘ to hover; none | One long tooltip line fired anywhere on the art and clashed with the cut title's own tooltip |
| 2026-09-27 | Reading measure | Prose capped at ~65 characters a line (`measure`) | The container's full width | At 110–130 characters a line the eye loses the next line's start |
| 2026-09-24 | Chip family | One `Chip` (filter / token / tag / suggest / ghost) + `DismissibleChip`; nothing under 24; the lint rule "no raw `<button>` outside ui/" | Five chip geometries in five files | The applied-filter row, the tag cells, the year picker and the saved-view editor each drew their own chip; a one-letter tag was 21px wide |
| 2026-09-24 | Button families | `Button` / `IconButton` / `Pressable` / chips / `DragHandle`; `lg` 40 for a hero CTA; pills and a 48 Play on media (from C5) | Every button hand-painted | 268 hand-rolled buttons in 79 files drifted into as many looks; the ladder only holds if every button stands on it |
| 2026-09-27 | C4 as built | `initialFocus` required on every `Modal`; the commit row in `ModalFooter`, portalled under the body from any depth; the fades driven by the body's scroll timeline; `interactive-widget=resizes-content` | An optional prop defaulting to the ✕; a `footer` prop (the issue composer's buttons live three components down); always-on fades | A default is how 21 dialogs came to open on the ✕; lifting the composer's state to reach a prop is the larger change; a resting fade dimmed the first line |
| 2026-09-27 | C3 + C5 as built | A tap toggles the bar through `pointerType` from `pointerdown`; a double-tap takes back its first tap's toggle; the card's pair is the video card's `MediaResumeButtons` (Continue / Restart), a sibling over the picture; the YT description is an ⓘ click popover | A delayed single tap (wait out the double-tap window); new "Resume / From the start" words for Plex; the pair inside the picture's button | A delayed tap feels dead; one media card says one pair of words; a button inside a button is invalid and the hover row already sits beside the picture |
| 2026-09-27 | C2 as built | The side panel's drawer is `ui/Modal` `drawer-start`; drawer = a coarse pointer or below 768; the pin offered in its header ≥ 1024 | A drawer of its own inside `SidePanel` | Esc, Back, the scrim, the trap and the scroll lock are the dialog's; a second implementation is how two shells drift |
| 2026-09-30 | Composition and the reader (E30 S6) | A chapter and a Conformance step: the space is used, one focal point, worst real data, where am I, a click answers at once, zoom and text size first-class; the person page as two columns (facts and bio left, "Known for" right) | Rules for pieces only; the bio in a full-width panel; a narrower panel | The person page passed every piece rule with half its panel empty; the owner reads zoomed in, so zoom is a requirement, not a nicety |
| 2026-09-30 | Hungarian words (E30 S5) | The D3 list: Feed, Shorts, Admin, Token, Port stay; stream, Prio, Job, Audit, Demo, Auto, Info, Frontend/Backend, Backfill, transcode get the Hungarian word; one name per thing (kérelem, behúzás, one "Test connection") | Keep every loanword; translate Feed/Shorts too | The owner chose the list (D3); the final sweep found the same feature under two names in three places |
| 2026-09-29 | Numbers and order in the UI language (E30 S3) | Every number through `lib/format.ts` in the UI language (decimal mark, grouping, compact, units); A→Z by the shown name in the UI language's alphabet, client and server alike; the language comes off `useTranslation`, never the singleton | `toFixed`, hand-built "1.2K", `localeCompare` in the browser's locale, byte-order server sorts | A Hungarian reader saw "8.3", "1.2K", "Életrajzi" after "Z"; the singleton read also left values in the old language after a switch (React Compiler) |
| 2026-09-27 | Narrow rows by container | The download row, the playlist table and the Channels tag row stack by a container query; a fact line never wraps | Breakpoints on the window | The iPad zoomed in, split screen and a column beside a rail are narrow while the window is not; the zoomed download row broke "18.9 / MB" apart |
| 2026-09-27 | Phones deferred | A phone-only layout (the hamburger nav, a folded feed band) waits for its own epic; E28 stays desktop + tablet | Fix the phone views inside E28 | Principle 2; the first phone attempts made the feed worse, and the epic's review grows with every sprint |
| 2026-09-27 | Conformance check (S3g) | A four-step check before a UI change is done: primitive at a named rung, the chapter re-read, the rendered page measured by kind and look, every state seen | A reviewer's eye per sprint | The S1 probe found 69 button looks; after S3 every control kind is drawn by its primitive, and the check keeps a new look from arriving unnoticed |
| 2026-09-27 | Segmented rung | `SegmentedToggle` defaults to the toolbar rung (28, `text-xs`); 24 only for a panel's captioned match toggle | The small default | Two toolbars had inherited 10px type from the default beside 28px buttons |
| 2026-09-27 | Copy rule (S3g) | One name per feature (the rail may shorten it); four verbs for four meanings; sentence case with the app's places capitalised; "…" when a command asks first; one-sentence messages without a stop; curly quotes; dates relative in lists with the exact minute on hover, three absolute forms; units from Intl, short | Word-for-word names everywhere; the verbs as they were; all lower case; no "…"; always a stop; always absolute dates; long or compact units | The copy survey found 7 EN and 6 HU double names, 22 Delete against 27 Remove, five date shapes and three spellings of a minute; the owner picked every recommended option |
| 2026-09-27 | One glyph, one meaning (S4) | Play only for playback or resuming a paused transfer; Retry = `RefreshCw`; reset / revert = `RotateCcw` | Retry drawn with Play | The first UI-review run (Downloads) found a failed row whose Retry showed ▷ in the row and its menu |
| 2026-09-27 | Fjord kept | Fjord stays a fifth scheme beside Midnight; the trial wording goes | Fold it into Midnight; remove it | The owner lived with it and likes it; the vivid Midnight stays for those who want it. B2's own-hue rule still binds any new scheme |
| 2026-09-27 | Tablet columns | A table hides `tabletHidden` columns below 64rem of its own width; Channels drops Prio, About, Length | Hide About only; give the name a bigger share | At 1024 the channel name had 60 px; the owner chose to drop all three there |
| 2026-09-27 | Glyph pager | First / previous / next / last as glyph buttons round the page box, names as tooltips | Words beside the arrows (hidden only on a phone) | The owner's call: the words widened the row; four arrows are the shared convention |
| 2026-09-27 | Match switch on the panel | `ui/MatchToggle` above the picker from two picks, everywhere; one wording (Any / All) | The picker's popover footer (Feed, Plex collection) | A closed picker hid an active "all"; six pickers had drawn it two ways |
| 2026-09-27 | Missing picture, bare link | A glyph of the kind for no picture; a download with no name is titled by its short link, once | An empty box; the URL as title, channel and link | The owner's picks 4A and 3A: an empty box read as loading, the URL showed three times |
| 2026-09-27 | Copy on a selection | Right-click on selected words keeps the browser's menu; no app Copy row | An app menu with Copy first | A real browser's menu has copy, search and translate; only the desktop pane's is thin |
| 2026-10-01 | Zoom target 125–133% | Screens are held at 125% and 133% browser zoom (1536 × 729, 1444 × 685 on a 1080p window) and the largest text size | 200% browser zoom | The owner: 200% was a guess; 125–133% is what they read Siftlode and most sites at, so 200% would be an upper bound nobody uses |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Nav rail at short heights | One "Admin" rail item opening a panel of the admin pages | A denser rail when short; a visible "+4" hint | The rail fits at 133–150% without a hidden scroll; the admin pages are rare and admin-only |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Configuration sections | A vertical, grouped section list, as Settings has | Group tabs + sub-tabs; one long page with a contents list | Sixteen tabs wrapped to three rows at 133%; one pattern for both settings pages |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Statistics overview | Number tiles, and the per-operation counts as horizontal bars | Three narrow cards; a 30-day chart | The label sits by its value; what spends the quota is seen at a glance |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Channel page header | The full banner, folding to one row once the grid scrolls | Always compact; no banner | The header is fixed and took 40% of a 685px window; the channel keeps its face at first sight |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Channel page watch state | A fresh channel page shows the unwatched videos; a picked state is remembered | Show all, forgotten on reload | The owner: open a channel to see what is new; a choice made there should stick |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Audit log runs | A job's successful runs fold into one row that opens, whatever ran between; only that job's failure (never folded, danger colour) breaks it | A filter defaulting to admin actions; both | Nothing hidden, the noise collapsed, the failure seen |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Users row | Role and state as badges, the actions in the row's one menu | An inline role toggle; icon-only buttons | Action placement: the row shows state, rare and destructive actions live in the menu |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 YouTube player | Video beside an info panel at 1280px and wider (the video as large as the height allows); stacked below | Today's stack with a one-line bar; full-window like Plex | The owner's eyesight: about 1460px of video on 1080p instead of 1008, the actions still visible |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Plex info and show pages | A second column for the facts, keywords and crew, as the person page; a collection's hero sized to its content | Full-width text; a larger poster and fanart | The right ~40% was empty; one composition for every media page |
| 2026-10-01 | E31 Nav rail rows are links | Each page row is a real link: a middle-click or Ctrl-click opens the page in a new tab | A button | The owner: open a page in a tab of its own, as on any site |
| 2026-10-02 | E31 Plex detail second column (refined) | The facts over the key crew beside the text; the keywords, chips that filter like the genres, under the text; the show page gets all three too | All three in the column, as the mockup drew it | At 20 keywords and 12 crew the column ran to twice the text's height (849 vs ~400 px at 133%): a hole under the text instead of beside it |
| 2026-10-02 | E31 Plex detail poster and crew | The movie and show poster keeps its 2:3 and grows a rung in a wide hero (w-56 at a 64rem panel); the crew shows its first 6 names and "Show N more" (a list of 8 or fewer shows whole) | Poster stretched to the row; a "More" on the keywords | The row is as tall as the crew column, so the poster drew ~175×590 and cropped; the crew, not the keywords, set the hero's height |
| 2026-10-04 | E32 `field` focus skips a mode switch | A form opens on its first field; a control above it that is not a field (the composer's Edit / Preview) is passed over by marking the field `data-initial-focus` | The first text field everywhere | That moved the focus in the download dialog off its profile choice and in the upload dialog off its drop zone; the mark changes only the form that needs it |
| 2026-10-04 | E35 Lint for z-levels and edged labels | Both rules stay; the two eslint selectors (`Z_RAW`, `EDGED_LABEL`) that refused them go | Keep the selectors | 0 hits since the E28 sweep that fixed the sites: a check that never fires costs a probe test and a snapshot each, and the UI review holds both rules |
| 2026-10-06 | `player` focus | A dialog that is a player opens focused on its panel (the YouTube player's rule, now `Modal`'s too); on the media element itself, Space and the arrows stay the element's own | `close`, or the media element | On the ✕ Space closed the player; on the element the browser's own controls acted on the same key as the player's (one Space played and paused, measured in Chrome) |
| 2026-10-08 | Captions on touch | A `Tooltip` opens for a mouse and a key's focus only, never for a finger | A caption on tap; a long-press caption | On an iPad the tap that showed the caption was taken as a hover and lost its click (every rail button took two taps), and no finger sends the mouseleave that hides it; the rail's labels setting names the buttons on touch |
| 2026-10-08 | Header search on touch | No key cap on a touch screen; the pill grows to 52 px so a ring shows round the 44 px Go; Go drops to its icon by the column's width | Keep the key cap; a 44 px Go overhanging a 40 px pill | On a tablet the 44 px key cap and Go sat on the pill's edge and cut the placeholder; an overhanging Go breaks the nested radii |
| 2026-10-08 | Plex subtitles and the control bar | The player draws the cues itself; while the bar shows they rise above it (200 ms), then settle back | The browser's own cues, moved by `line` | On an iPad the bar covered the text; a native cue cannot be animated or measured, and our layer behaves the same on every engine |
| 2026-10-08 | Hover on a button over a picture | The `media` variant's hover is a 2px accent ring over a darker body (Plex + YT cards, rail arrows; option B) | An accent fill (reads as "selected"); a white wash (weak on a bright poster) | The 60 → 75% black step was invisible, and over a card a rail arrow could not be told from the card's own Play under it |
| 2026-10-08 | Plex "Add to collection" | A movie or show card's menu row opens a panel beside the card: its library's manual collections tick in place, a name + Enter creates one with the title in it (admin; option A) | An Add submenu with a "New…" dialog; the per-title editor modal from the menu | A collection took a trip to the Collections page, a name, a title search, then a second search per title; the panel is the video card's "Add to playlist" |
| 2026-10-08 | YouTube modal chrome | No prev/next strips beside the card; Close an icon (the panel's top right; stacked, the title row's end); the description clamped to three lines + More; the panel shuts to a 2.75rem strip of close, expand, prev/next (option D1) | Keep the strips; a "Close" text button; the full description in a scroller; a panel that hides outright | The strips cost the video 7rem of width for a second copy of the panel's buttons; a long description pushed the channel and the actions out of sight; a hidden panel left no way to step the queue without the keyboard |
| 2026-10-08 | The wheel over the YouTube modal | Over the video: volume. Over a panel with something to scroll: scroll only, never volume, not even at its end. Over a panel with nothing to scroll: volume (owner) | Volume everywhere; a scroll that hands over to the volume at its end | Reading a long description turned the volume down once it hit the end |
| 2026-10-09 | A Plex show card plays | Its picture plays the show's next episode everywhere (an episode with a resume point → Continue + Restart, else the first unwatched, else S1·E1), resolved on the click; the preview names it once up; title and ⓘ open the show (option A + hover ask) | The picture opens the show page (as before); every card carrying `next` | A show card on Discover had no Play while Home's had one; carrying `next` costs a grid page up to 180 queries for the few cards anyone plays |
| 2026-10-10 | Clip mode in the players (E38) | Scissors in the control row + `C`, `[` `]`; the panel in the player with the watched video as preview; overview + zoomed strip on `ui/RangeTrack` (ends are sliders); a toast + the Ready notification after Cut | A ⋯ menu entry; permanent In / Out buttons; a big dialog with its own preview (a second Plex transcode / YouTube iframe) | Owner's picks A, P1, a; a film is hours and a clip seconds, so only a zoomed strip gives a hand the precision. The Downloads editor's cuts moved onto the same track (keyboard-steppable now) |
| 2026-10-10 | Crop in clip mode (E38) | A Crop toggle in the clip panel: a frame over the playing picture (`ui/CropFrame`, the editor's crop too), Free / 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1, Whole picture; maximised YouTube keeps the panel in the bar's place; the wide side panel shuts while clipping | A frame always on the picture in clip mode (K2); a free shape only | Owner's K1 + a: a crop is rare, so it never covers the picture unasked; a phone or square clip needs a held shape. The iframe hides its picture's size: drawn on the 16:9 box, the cut fits it to the real picture |
| 2026-10-10 | Marks on the player chrome | `--media-mark` (amber) and `--media-danger` (light red), the same in both themes; `media-marks` points the focus ring (`--focus`) and the chosen mark (`--chosen`: a track's tick, a tab's underline; the label stays white) at the amber on the player and every chrome surface; `media-scope` (a form) also the errors at the red | The theme's accent ring, chosen text, warn and danger | On the chrome (#171717) a light theme's accent ring (Slate 2.84:1), warn (2.99:1) and danger (2.77:1) all fall under 3:1; the accent as chosen text under 4.5:1 |
| 2026-10-11 | Files page (one library) | List rows by default, the media grid a toggle remembered per folder; a sidebar of automatic source folders, own folders, Shared with me and the storage meter; the paste-a-link box in the toolbar | A media grid by default | The library holds videos AND plain files: rows read both, show more per screen and scan by size and date |
| 2026-10-11 | Library list columns | Every kind of value in its own column (name, source, phone-safe, retention, size, added, actions), one grid with a subgrid per row so they line up; an action that does not apply keeps its slot empty; a right-click menu on every row (the ⋯ opens the same menu) | Badges flowing after the title; icons that shift when one is missing | Owner: values of one kind must fall in one vertical line; a row's every action reachable by right click |
| 2026-10-11 | Running downloads | An app-wide tray, bottom right, shown only while something runs or failed (reason + retry), foldable to a pill | A rail icon with a count and a popover | Downloading became an action you start anywhere; a running one must be visible without going to look |
| 2026-10-11 | Download done | The notification says whether it plays on a phone and carries Link másolása + Megnyitás (the folder, the item focused); never an automatic jump | A plain "ready" notice; auto-navigation to the item | The daily path is paste → done → copy the link; a jump would pull the user out of what they were doing |
| 2026-10-11 | Library row quick icons (owner A) | On a wide list only the ⋯ holds a place; Copy link, Share and Save come up over the date while the row is hovered or holds the keyboard; a card (phone) keeps them in its own line; Keeps narrower | Three icons always in sight (the name kept ~150px at 1200); dropping Added below 64rem | Owner: the name is what a row is read by; every action stays in the ⋯ and the right-click menu |
| 2026-10-12 | Files preview (owner ★) | A file that is not media opens from its name in the dialog shell, wide: an image, a PDF in the browser's own viewer, text as numbered plain text (HTML and SVG too) with a wrap toggle, else a no-preview card with Save; ← / → page the list's such files in its order; an image under 8 MB is its own thumbnail | A side panel beside the list; a new browser tab; pdf.js; syntax highlighting; a click that saves a file without a preview | Owner: one way to open anything, paged like the list; the browser's PDF viewer is free and isolated; a page is never rendered on our origin |
| 2026-10-12 | A running download's step (owner ★) | The tray row names the step beside its bar ("Downloading audio · 12%", "Merging" with a pulse); a paused-only tray shows a pause mark, never the done check | A bare bar and % | A download fetches video and audio as two streams: unnamed, the second fill reads as a restart; the tray is the only place a download is followed |
| 2026-10-14 | API tokens (owner A/A/A) | Settings → API tokens: a row per token in three lines (name + prefix, its folders and rights, last use and expiry), revoked from its ⋯; a new token asks the kind first (Hub exchange or Custom: rights as chips per folder), expiry 1 year by default; the token shows once in the same dialog, with Copy and a curl line | A table; one form with a preset link; the token in a banner above the list | A table truncates the rights at this width; the common token never shows a matrix to get wrong; closing the dialog is plainly when the token is gone |
| 2026-10-15 | Folder links (owner A/A/A) | An own folder's menu has Copy link and Share with link… as a file row does (the dialog is the link half of the file's); the link opens a list of the folder's files as it is now, Play opening the watch player above it with the playing row lit, a document only downloading; the rail marks a folder with a live link beside its count | Share with link… alone; cards; a download-only list; no mark | Mostly videos from a phone, read on a phone: a list gives a long name its line and the next one is a tap away; the folder link is the one place where moving a file in publishes it, so where it is must show |
