The code cited its plan instead of saying why: `E28 review J4`, `(R6 S3b)`, `S1 justified…`,
`deep-review round 5`. That plan lives in the private ops repo, so for every reader of this one the
citation was noise, and a sentence whose subject was the plan step ("round 2 showed…") hid its
lesson behind an id. Each one is gone and the "why" kept: a bare citation is deleted, a sentence
carrying a lesson is reworded around it ("a later attempt showed…").
Measured (`scripts/audit_metrics.py`, product code): 652 lines in 270 files carried an epic code by
the definition the next commit holds (507 / 241 by the old, two-digit-only one) -> 0. Across all
code, tests, scripts and configs: ~1100 epic-code lines plus ~320 sprint/round ids.
Behaviour unchanged, checked mechanically: every changed .py file has the same AST once docstrings
are blanked; css/sh/toml/yml/json files are identical once comments are stripped; the only
non-comment changes in TS/JS are test titles, one description string in a contract table, and five
ESLint messages, whose text is all the gates snapshot diff holds. Not touched: Markdown (docs and
the changelog keep their history), Alembic migrations, TV episode notation (`S2 · E5`), DESIGN.md
ids (`C1`, `B4`, `S3h`), tracker ids (`SEC-16`, `DX-17`).
One stale claim fixed on the way: test_hls_reaper's docstring said the player checkpoints "every
10 s whether or not it is playing", which plex/stream.py calls wrong; it now says what the code does.
E32 S4 — the burn-down from 29 skipped functions to 1:
- try/finally (26 sites): the cleanup runs after a try/catch; steps that return early moved into
their own function (push, the setup wizard's next, the share page's unlock).
- A conditional, loop or optional call inside a try skips the function too, and react-hooks/todo
does not see it: the value is computed before the try, or the try lives in a module-level helper
(config writes, clip queueing, clipboard, frame counts, seekable end, YouTube player times).
- The two exhaustive-deps suppressions are gone. useYtProgress takes its per-item snapshot through
one effect event, read once when the player is built; PlexPlayer's unmount relies on the
leaving-the-item cleanup for the generation bump it duplicated.
- What the skips hid: PlexPlayer's 17 render-phase ref writes (useLatest), its tracks popover alias,
the loadSession self-reference (declared early, set after commit); PlayerModal's session-position
read during render (now where the player starts), navRef/modeRef writes, and a description helper
that ran a ref-carrying callback during render (now PlayerDescription); SavedViewsProvider's
latest-cfg ref, and its setState in the seed effect (preferSticky now prefers the starred default
among same-filter views, so the seed needs no sticky write — test seen red on the old helper).
- A store's hook was called `use()`, which the compiler does not know as a hook: inside the newly
compiled usePlaylistActions it was memoized, ran on the first render alone, and the playlist rail
threw "rendered fewer hooks" on its second render. Renamed to `useValue()` everywhere; the old
contract test claimed the call was safe inside any `use…` function, which was false — replaced by
a render test that is red under the old name.
- PlexPlayer's palette ref was written and never read since the Backspace guard moved to the layer
stack: removed.
react-hooks/refs is back at error with no exception. The ratchet lists only VirtualGrid
(IncompatibleLibrary) and pins both players as compiled. No size or complexity ceiling was raised.
eslint now also enforces:
- the React Compiler diagnostics that `recommended` leaves out (todo,
memo-dependencies and ten zero-hit tripwires);
- a description on every suppression, and no blanket disables;
- no focused or skipped tests (vitest and playwright);
- the typed pair no-floating-promises and no-deprecated.
Lint also covers e2e/ and the TypeScript build configs, which `eslint .`
had been skipping in silence.
Every hit is fixed or suppressed inline with a named reason:
- The 31 try statements the compiler cannot lower yet carry a suppression
until S3 rewrites them. Five other compiler skips were plain fixes:
a module counter bumped inside a hook, a ref read in a default
parameter, and a local named like the <section> it renders.
- The real defects behind floating promises are fixed. ChatDock threw at
nobody when the device key store could not be opened. VideoEditor's
play() rejection went unhandled. loadYouTubeApi never rejected, so a
blocked IFrame API left the player on an empty stage forever; it now
fails on a script error or after 15 s, shows its own error with the
way out, and lets the next open try again.
- MutableRefObject, FormEvent and lucide's deprecated brand icon are
replaced. The YouTube glyph now lives in lib/brandIcons.
- The lint-probe harness lets its virtual file names into TypeScript's
default project, so the contract tests still run the real config.
- Channel page: the banner and identity block fold away once the grid scrolls
(ui/scrollFold: folds past 32px only if the page can stay scrolled, unfolds
at the very top) and the name rides in the tab row. One Back button in both
states keeps its focus; folded at a tablet width the actions wrap instead of
pushing the page sideways.
- Plex movie and show pages: the TMDB facts over the key crew are the hero's
second column (plexDetailAside), the keywords sit under the text; the show
page shows them for the first time, with the same three toggles. A
collection's hero is sized to its text.
- YouTube player, 1280px and wider: the title, channel, actions, description
and queue sit in a side panel beside the video, which takes the window's
height (1438x809 at 1920x911, was ~1008 wide). The wheel scrolls that panel
while it can and turns the volume elsewhere.
- DESIGN.md decision log: the keywords' place under the text.
- The browser tab names the place and the object: PageHeading reports the
view's own title (lib/documentTitle), so a channel, playlist or any Plex
view reads "<object> · <module> · Siftlode" however it was opened; the
Feed is named too; a season adds its show (tabTitle).
- The channel page's tab + action row wraps and lets the tag lane fold into
"+N": at 1024 it ran past the edge and the page scrolled sideways.
- The YouTube player card's width is capped from the window height less the
chrome measured under the video: at 133% zoom (685px) it cut its channel row.
- Plex certificate words (Not Rated, Approved, Passed) are named through the
vocabulary on the info badge, show page, collection, filter and chips.
- DESIGN.md: the zoom target is 125% and 133%, not 200% (decision log).
- Person page: a bio ask that fails says so with a retry instead of reading as 'no biography'.
- Show page: the summary is a ClampedText (5 lines + More), like the person and collection pages;
one More/Less pair (plex.textMore/textLess) for all three.
- Channels: a re-slotted row is placed in the language the server orders by (the stored
preference, else English), not the UI's guess.
- A skipped run's body is only the reason (its title already says skipped).
- HU: Behúzási kvótatartalék; Eseménynapló ürítve / az eseménynaplót; indok; közvetlenül
játszható / közvetlen közvetítés in the Plex hints.
- Tests: ClampedText re-measures on a resize, the show summary clamp, serverOrderLang.
- audit log: a job run named from its result data (nested phases too), a skipped run says so, a
secret's reset reads as a reset, choices named as Configuration names them, interval / batch /
counts localized; the inbox shares the same jobRunText
- HU: remux is "Közvetlen közvetítés" (it shared "Közvetlen lejátszás" with direct play); backfill is
behúzás, enrich is dúsítás, collection is kollekció, the allow-list is fehérlista; the last
"jobnak" / "transzkódolás"; a test holds the options of one choice to distinct names
- contract: every skipped / reason word a job returns is named in both languages
- person page: the bio wait is timed from the open and a failing ask stops the polling; ClampedText
(ui) shared with the collection page, whose short summary lost its dead More
- a playlist names season 0 the Specials; the channel re-slot compares in the reader's alphabet; an
invite's date is in the admin's language; the language-ordered lists are asked again once a
language switch is saved (saveLanguage)
- poster grids' column minimum in rem; lint refuses minmax(Npx,…)
With one to three titles (about one person in five) the rail sat at the far edge of the hero with a gap
between it and the bio. The person's column is now capped at the bio's reading measure and a short rail
follows it directly, so the leftover is the panel's end (owner pick "b"). Four or more keep half the hero.
The biography sat at reading width in the left half of a full-width panel with nothing on the right.
Now the person (headshot, facts, the bio clamped to eight lines with More / Less when it is cut) is on the
left and "Known for" on the right; with fewer than four titles the rail takes only its posters' width.
One column where the panel is narrow (200% zoom, the largest text size).
While the server fetches a bio (`enriching`), the page shows a paragraph skeleton (a new "text" shape of
LoadingState) and asks again every 1.5 s for up to 20 s. The view is keyed by the person's name, so
another person starts fresh.
Every locale formatter takes the language as an argument. Under the React
Compiler a formatter that read the i18n singleton was memoized on its other
arguments, so a card kept "2 hr 4 min" after a switch to Hungarian; plexLang()
had the same flaw and left Plex queries in the old language. Components now
take the language from useTranslation, and the signature makes forgetting it
a type error.
- ratings, file sizes, stream stats: the language's decimal mark ("8,3")
- view and subscriber counts compact in the language ("1,2 E")
- seconds as the language's unit ("6 mp") in the sliders and the stats
- a person's birth and death dates as dates, not ISO strings
- A-Z lists by the shown name in the language's alphabet (compareText),
the tag catalog re-sorted by its translated names
- lint local/locale-format (was date-format) also refuses Intl.NumberFormat
outside lib/format.ts, localeCompare, and a component reading the language
off the i18n singleton
- lib/vocab + the `vocab` locale area: TMDB crew jobs and departments, auto-tags (D1 A: the data
stays English, the catalog is named at its one source, useTags), built-in download profiles,
YouTube topics; held key-for-key to the backend's own lists by backendIds.contract.
- Countries by ISO code: TMDB parse stores {code, name}; rows stored before are coded from TMDB's
own country list in one request (run_enrich); Intl names them, historic codes (YU, SU, XI…)
from the catalog.
- Player tracks named from the language tag, forced/SDH flags and codec tail, not Plex's
server-language displayTitle; no invented "Audio N" on the server.
- Download lifecycle notices (shared / expiring / expired / evicted) named from data; the share
notice carries the title.
- Scheduler: the job result rides along as data and is named per key (dashboard + run notice).
- Invite status named; a render crash's notice no longer shows the engine's English message.
- Fix: YouTube links …/wiki/Humour, the tagger looked for "Humor" — Comedy never came from a topic.
The grid served Hungarian titles, but every other card surface (Discover rails, the
show page's episodes, search, collections, the person page, playlists, Home's resume
rail, hero and comfort shelf) served English. The card serializers now take a
required keyword-only lang (a forgotten call site fails instead of going English), and
each of those reads takes ?lang=hu, with the language in its query key. A Hungarian
search finds an episode by its Hungarian title too.
An episode on a poster rail showed its 16:9 still cropped into a poster, titled only
with the episode name; it now shows the show's poster and name, with S·E · title under
it (option A). Plex's generic season names (Season 1, Specials) are rebuilt from the
number in the reader's language; a season with a name of its own keeps it.
Home's comfort-shelf move wrote its optimistic order to the key without the language,
which nothing read any more; it writes the query's own key.
The header button said only "Play from start" and resumed the first
episode at its saved point. It now reads "Season from the start · S6 · E1"
or "Show from the start · S1 · E1" and asks the player for 0.
Plex player: a finger's tap on the picture only shows or hides the controls,
the hide timer starts with playback, a double-tap on a side third skips 10 s,
the seek bar is a 2.75rem touch-none hit area with its head shown on touch.
The row is play/pause, Back by position, Next only with a next item, mute,
time, tracks, a fixed ⋯ (settings, media info, stats, shortcuts, download)
and fullscreen; Stop, Restart and the ±10 s buttons are gone.
A started card shows the video card's Continue + Restart pair (one shared
MediaResumeButtons, beside the picture's button), and its menu lists the
restart; the player opens that item at 0 (fromStart). YouTube modal: the
description opens from an ⓘ, the queue arrows sit inside the screen.
- ui/MediaCard + mediaCardStyles: one frame for every video, Plex title and
Home tile; the meta line pinned to the bottom edge, the length a badge on
the picture, the media Play only where the click plays, the hover row at
the picture's bottom-right (the owner's pick C).
- Shelf density: on any strip a one-line title over one meta line; mixed
Home shelves are landscape; rails turn content-visibility off (a card's
reserved height had become the strip's). Home slot 232px, so the Play
and the hover row no longer touch; a landscape shelf takes the small Play.
- Home hero is a card (hover row, the whole menu, a touch "…"), three
quarters wide and centred; channel / playlist tiles get Play, open and
"…"; a show tile acts on its next episode, ⓘ opens the show.
- Plex preview: a ~0.9 s mouse rest opens a passive panel with the whole
title, facts and synopsis (popover `pointerOnly`); the synopsis and title
tooltips are gone.
- Compact list row B: the title leads, "…" at the end, toggles over the
date on hover.
- Media-info layout B (collections, crew, cast beside the facts sidebar;
an empty column is not drawn); filtering values are chips there and on
the show page; "Cast" over the cast-only strips.
- Browse tiles hover like a card; prose capped by the `measure` utility.
A button whose text is a title or a name is now `selectable` (FocusSafeButton,
under Pressable and Button): Chrome selects inside a button once it is
user-select: text (measured), and the click that ends a selection, or a press
dragged past the slop, opens nothing. 23 surfaces carry it (cards, rows, people,
channels, playlists, users, views, messages, log lines, description links); the
Plex caption div gets the same guard. A contract test pins every plain Pressable
with its reason, so a new one has to choose.
Every Plex poster list (library, Discover rails, person, show, season, collection, Home's rails)
now opens one menu per list from the right-click, the long-press, Shift+F10 and the card's "…":
play/open, watched, add to playlist, media info, copy title, the pin (usePlexCardActions +
PlexMenu, replacing the pin-only PlexPinMenu). The card keeps its state at rest and shows
watched / add to playlist / "…" on its picture on hover (ui/reveal.ts, shared with the video
card); on touch the toggles are gone and a 44px "…" sits beside the title, while the watched pill
stays. The hover ⓘ left the card; an episode's add button moved from its caption to the hover
row. Seasons get their own short menu (open, watched, add, copy), labelled "Open season" (the
card's overlay said "Open show"). Related shows are ordinary poster cards now. A collection's
admin "Remove" X moved into its menu, still behind the confirmation. The collection grid is two
columns on a phone. The unused .reveal-idle rule is gone.
- PageShell names the page with a visually hidden h1; a view with its own title renders it as
PageHeading and the hidden one steps aside (contract: no hand <h1> inside the shell).
- Section captions are SectionLabel headings (h2, h3 in a dialog), ui/form Section included.
- "Skip to content" is the first Tab stop and focuses the scroller's <main>.
- Below 600px of height the band's filter row folds into "Filters · n" (Feed, Plex, server log),
the same row shown in place.
- The band holds controls only: Downloads and Notifications lose their title cards, the Config and
channel-discovery intros scroll with the content, the Stats tabs and the audit pager join the band,
and the server log's toolbar sticks with the fade under it.
- F16: --rating (theme-scoped gold, 4.5:1 on the page and its chip), --rating-media, --live/--live-fg,
--media-chrome replace 14 palette literals; a lint rule refuses palette classes; the theme contract
measures them.
- The Plex player's notices drew over its open settings/tracks popovers: notices z-base, popovers z-menu.
- The player's info overlay rendered theme tokens on its always-dark panel: on a light theme the score
(2.6:1), collection years (3.2:1) and cast initials (1.05:1) were unreadable; onDark variants now.
- The lint-rule contract tests share one ESLint with a one-off warm-up (a cold first lint took 8 s,
past vitest's 5 s).
- F12 (owner: A): SwitchRow, the whole settings row toggles; a Config boolean toggles from its title
and hint (a label pointed at the switch).
- F14 (owner: B): the form dropdown trigger wears the field frame (see-through, the >= 3:1 edge);
labelled pills keep the faint edge and the accent-edge hover. DESIGN says so, with log rows.
- F6: ~15 bg-card / bg-border / opacity hovers onto the B3 state layer; a lint rule (HOVER_SWAP)
refuses the swap, contract-tested.
- F10: bare 14px icon links onto IconLink / LinkButton; a local lint rule refuses a glyph-only <a>.
- F13: reason-disabled controls are aria-disabled (Users, Channels backfill, Discovery, Scheduler
runs, Config tests); FocusSafeButton now swallows the click of a caller's aria-disabled; the
Config tests say why while dirty (testDirty, HU/EN).
- F5/F11: every control measured live at 24 (mouse) and 44 (coarse) across every page; touch-target
is a utility that wins over a caller's min-h-6; link variants carry it too; SegmentedToggle,
Tabs, NavRail, menu rows, PriorityStepper, sliders, CheckRow, InnerInput, card links and the rest.
- F9: DismissibleChip's label reaches the chip's 24; the Combobox chips are DismissibleChips.
- F15: the "+N" / "More..." open state worded as it renders.
- A glass role's shadow is one token (shadow-float); the header search's drop-shadow utility had
replaced its top highlight, and the debug pill's shadow-lg did the same. The surface-role lint
rule now refuses a shadow size beside a role.
- Plex: every value that filters carries a hint (genre, certificate, studio had none), and the facts
panel's year and certificate filter like the header's. filterKeyword -> filterValue.
- Downloads: the row resized its buttons with a [&_button] override that the save link escaped
(28px beside 32px); the size is the primitive's md rung now.
The second half of the button sweep: the remaining hand-rolled buttons in
feature components, the design lab and the components/ui composites now
stand on Button, IconButton, Pressable, Chip or DragHandle.
- Chip + DismissibleChip (filter / token / tag / suggest / ghost, 24px
floor, 44 on touch) replace five chip geometries; FilterChipGroup
renders Chips; overflow lanes measure a mirror painted by chipClass.
- The Plex control row is IconButton's player rung (36, 20px glyph,
round, overlay; 44 on touch); the YT modal bar is on the sm rung with
pressed cycle toggles and names that survive a folded label.
- New variants: IconButton ghost-accent, danger-soft; Button warn on a
new state-warn utility. The .btn-{tone} recipes and btnCls are gone.
- Fixed on the way: membership rows (collection editor, Plex playlist
add) announce checked/mixed; a one-letter tag chip was 21px wide;
descriptionLinks moved out of lib/ (it renders components).
- local/button-primitive: a raw <button>/<FocusSafeButton> outside the
control-primitive files is a lint error (contract-tested, seen red).
A focused button that turns natively disabled loses the focus to <body> in
Chrome. The app disables the very button that was pressed on ~60 sites — a
mutation pending, a pager at its last page, undo with nothing left, a player
at the end of its queue, a form gone clean — so a keyboard user was thrown
out of the page on every such press.
One primitive instead of a fix per site: ui/FocusSafeButton renders a
focused-and-disabled (or busy) button as aria-disabled with a click guard,
and applies the native attribute again once the focus is elsewhere. It asks
the document at render time as well as listening for focus events, because
a window without focus fires none (measured). ui/Button and ui/form's Switch
are built on it; 57 hand-rolled buttons swapped their tag for it keeping
their classes, and three hand-copies of the rule (the channel page's Block
and Hide, ChannelDiscovery's Subscribe) now pass `busy`. The soft state's
dim look is one rule in index.css.
`local/focus-safe-disabled` refuses a new raw <button disabled>, pinned by
focusSafe.contract.test.ts. lib/plexDetailUi moved to components/: it is
components, and lib may not import the primitive.
Measured on localdev in Chrome: the audit log's Next button keeps the focus
on reaching the last page, reads aria-disabled, and the guarded click does
nothing.
- PriorityStepper labelled itself with channels.row.* and told every caller
it orders the Feed; Combobox said plex.loading / plex.filter.moreRefine /
sidebar.match on the feed sidebar. The generic strings moved to common.*,
and what a priority MEANS arrives as the stepper's `hint` prop.
uiI18n.contract.test.ts pins components/ui/ to the platform namespaces —
the import boundary could never see an i18n key.
- 32 px-frozen box utilities (w-[150px], max-w-[1600px], left-[18px], …)
became spacing-scale steps (w-37.5, max-w-400, left-4.5): identical at the
default text size, and now they grow with the Settings slider instead of
clipping or re-wrapping their own labels. An eslint rule refuses the px
form beside the older text-[Npx] one, pinned by pxBox.contract.test.ts;
measured in the browser that every new step is generated at its old px.
- chipLane's import-strip regex ran past a side-effect import into the next
statement's `from`, hiding a lane between them; it now stops at the
import's own `;`.
- Home's rail handed each card a fresh `() => menu.triggerProps(c)` per
render, defeating memo(VideoCard) on every tile whenever the menu's own
state changed. `useItemTriggers` (ui/useContextMenu) keeps one trigger per
item, index-aligned; tested for identity across renders.
- The Button accessible-name union had one hole: `<Button icon={…} />` with
no children and no size typechecked into a nameless button. A textful
button now needs children or a name; pinned with @ts-expect-error.
- comfortPin's header said the pin belongs "on every card and row", which
the code never meant (an episode, a season, a person are not pin kinds).
It now says what is pinnable — and the show page's Related strip, whose
shows ARE pinnable, gets the pin menu it was missing (and a rem width).
- gridColumns / feedView / VirtualGrid claimed layouts 1024–2560 are
"byte-identical" under the column cap; the small cards are capped at 2560
with the filter rail collapsed. The comments say so.
The 43 react-refresh/only-export-components warnings the gate let through meant an edit to a
provider (or AnchoredPopover, Toaster, plexDetailUi, …) could not be hot-swapped: Fast Refresh
reloads a module that also exports hooks or helpers.
- Each provider's contexts, the types its hooks return and the hooks themselves live in a sibling
context module (navigationContext.ts, channelsContext.ts, …); the provider file keeps the
component. loadAccountFilters moved next to the feed filters' defaults (feedFiltersInit.ts),
following navigationInit/playlistsInit.
- Helpers that sat in component files have their own modules: welcomeMode, downloadTitle,
plexPlayable, channelSync, ui/anchoredPopoverHooks, ui/pageToolbarSlot, ui/pagerContent,
ui/toastLevels, ui/overlayOrder, ui/tableAlign, lib/plexDetail; the cells of the channel columns
and the registry's page wrappers are components files of their own (channelCells, modulePages).
- usePersistedTab, an alias of useAccountPersistedState, is gone; its callers use the original.
npm run lint is now eslint --max-warnings 0, so a warning fails the gate like an error does.
Second slice of the E11 keyboard layer (S4b). S4a gave the feed, the library and the channel page
`j`/`k`, the arrows and Enter; Home's shelves and the whole Plex module were still Tab-stop country —
a Plex poster is its own Tab stop, and a rail's cards sat behind every control of the cards before.
- `lib/listNav`: a list that mounts every item no longer declares a count or columns — both are
measured off the DOM when a key is pressed, so an auto-fill grid's columns follow its width and a
rail is one row. ↑ on a list's top row and ↓ on its bottom row go on to the neighbouring list, onto
the item horizontally nearest the one left (owner decision D4: ←→ within a rail, ↑↓ to the rail
above or below). The first `j` skips cards a rail has scrolled out to the left.
- `Carousel keyboardNav` registers the scroller; the scroller gets a 4px inset (against a -4px margin,
layout unchanged) so the focus ring is not clipped, and `[data-nav-index]` a 2.5rem inline scroll
margin so a card stepped into view clears the rail's edge fade and paging arrow.
- `ui/NavGrid`: the plain, fully mounted grid that registers itself.
- `navIndex` on PlexPosterCard / SeasonCard / EpisodeCard (the card root is the item, the poster the
open element — the ring goes round poster and title, D2), PosterTile and Home's ShelfTile (the button
is the item); cast, related and collection-strip buttons carry the attrs directly.
- Wired: Home's comfort and resume rails; Plex Browse titles + episodes, Discover rails + genres,
collection view, playlists/collections browse, person known-for + filmography, show seasons, season
episodes, cast/related strips, info-page cast + collection strips.
- `listNav.wiring.contract.test`: every `Carousel` says `keyboardNav`, every card says `navIndex`, and a
card with `navIndex` sits inside a NavGrid / Carousel / VirtualGrid — both halves are opt-in, and
either one missing leaves a list the keyboard silently skips.
S3 wires the shelf's editor. The gesture is the E10 right-click menu, so the
decision "this is comfort media" can be made where the thing is — the feed, a
Plex grid, a channel row, a playlist — rather than only on the page that lists
the shelf.
One shared piece, `components/comfortPin.tsx`: the five pin-kind constructors,
the shelf query, and ONE `ActionMenuItem` that switches Pin/Unpin honestly (and
says "not known yet" with a disabled row until the shelf has answered, since a
confident "Pin" over something already pinned is exactly the quiet lie the house
rules forbid). Surfaces that already have a row menu compose the item in
(`Playlists`, `PlaylistsRail`); the rest mount `ComfortPinMenu`.
Two structural notes:
- The feed's menu lives in `VirtualFeed`, not in `Feed` — that is the list, and
it is also what gives the channel page the gesture for free, since it renders
`<Feed channelScoped>` all the way down.
- Cards take `menuProps` as a FUNCTION of the row, not the built props object.
`triggerProps` is stable across renders while its return value is not, and a
fresh object prop would blow past `VideoCard`'s memo for every card in the
virtualized feed on every parent render.
`DataTable` and `ChannelLayoutGrid` grow a generic `rowProps` so a channel row
answers the same gesture in both of the manager's layouts; the table stays
domain-free and never learns what a menu is.
On Home the shelf tile's menu is the whole editor: four move rows (front / left
/ right / end, reusing the playlist menu's ordering idiom) plus the unpin, over
menu rows rather than drag & drop — dragging inside a horizontal, scrolling
Carousel fights the scroll, and menu rows are keyboard-reachable for free. The
reorder is optimistic on the cached payload and re-asks the server on failure
rather than showing an order that was never accepted.
The exhausted shelf tile (a pinned channel with nothing unwatched left) is
`aria-disabled`, not `disabled`: measured in Chromium, a disabled button still
receives contextmenu and pointerdown, but it loses focus — and with it Shift+F10,
the only keyboard route to the menu it most needs.
Verified end to end in the browser against the live account: all five pin kinds,
the reorder (persisted across a reload), the unpin, and the honest Unpin label on
a resume tile that is already on the shelf.
Second sweep, 34 more sites: NotificationsPanel (14 -- eight identical
accent text links, three ghost icon buttons, two ghost text actions),
Welcome's five auth links, KeyGate, Messages, NavSidebar, ChatThread,
ShareDialog, ChannelPage, PlexPlaylistView, PlexPlaylistAdd,
PlexCollectionEditor and plexViews.
Moves the font-weight out of Button's BASE and into each variant, so the
`link` variant can be semibold (which is what every text link in this app
looks like) while the action variants stay medium, and no element can end
up with two font-* utilities.
Welcome is the one signed-out surface this session cannot see, so only
its byte-identical link swaps were taken; its primary submit and the
bg-card button family are left for a pass that can UAT the screen.
3x tsc, eslint, knip, prettier, 689 vitest green; UAT on Notifications,
Messages and the nav rail, clean console in a fresh tab.
The app HAS a platform layer -- AnchoredPopover (22 importers, with
arrows/typeahead/Escape/anchor-flip), QueryState (21), Modal (17),
PageShell, DataTable, Tabs, Tooltip and ~26 more -- but it sat flat among
~160 feature components with nothing marking it as one. Several of those
files describe themselves as 'the one place' or 'canonical' and were
still bypassed by hand-rolled markup, because a layer nobody can see is a
layer nobody uses; three separate inventory passes of this codebase
misread it the same way.
Moves the 33 domain-free modules into components/ui/, rewrites the
imports in 89 files, and makes the boundary a lint rule rather than a
convention: inside ui/ a one-level-up import (a feature component) and
any lib/api slice are errors. The rule was verified to fire on both and
to leave generic lib/ helpers alone. README.md states which side of the
line a component belongs on and why.
No behaviour change: 3x tsc, eslint, knip, prettier and 687 vitest tests
all green; no backend file touched.
Extract the show->ordered-episode-keys flatten into one pure, unit-tested
helper (lib/plexQueue.ts) and use it at all three sites — the collection
Play-all (S4) and the show/season play-through pages in plexViews — so the
season-then-episode queue-order invariant lives in one place instead of three
hand-rolled copies. Behaviour-identical (the helper's ?? [] is a safe superset
of the collection site's previously non-null read).
Also: a show-collection whose shows expand to zero episodes had an enabled
Play-all that silently no-op'd — the same 'does nothing' state S4 removed for
the empty-queue case. Surface an honest info notice (plex.collection.playEmpty,
HU+EN) instead.
User-reported issues after the E5 build:
- useCrossfadeBackdrop: the static branch (one image / crossfade off /
reduced motion) painted #root but returned NO cleanup, so the backdrop
persisted after leaving the page (e.g. switching modules). Every painted
branch now returns clear() so unmount always resets the default backdrop.
- scheduler: give the tmdb_enrich job a proper label + description (was the
raw "tmdb_enrich" id) in EN/HU.
- CastStrip: cap crew names to ONE line (truncate) so the row of circular
photos sits on one baseline instead of going wavy on 2-line names.
- PlexInfo: lay Details / Keywords / Crew out as side-by-side boxes
(items-start grid) instead of full-width stacked panels with dead space;
narrower Crew grid for the boxed width; each panel independently hideable
from the customize menu (new Details/Keywords/Crew toggles). Tighter
vertical spacing.
- MultiSelectChips: reshape the trigger from a "+Add" button into an
Overseerr-style combi input — removable chips inside a typeable field that
filters the checklist, opening on focus (backspace removes the last chip).
- Discover / person rails: reduce the vertical gap between rails.
The faint HTPC art backdrop now slowly cross-dissolves through a pool of images
instead of showing one static art — the last E5 sprint.
- useCrossfadeBackdrop (replaces useArtBackdrop): a double buffer — the SETTLED
image lives on #root's background (the proven full-viewport layer); the next
image cross-fades in on a z-index:-1 overlay layer, then is committed and the
overlay reset. ⭐ #root is given `isolation: isolate` so it's a stacking context
— without it the z:-1 overlay paints BEHIND #root's own background and is
invisible (found + fixed live: a red test layer + a real TMDB backdrop both
only showed once #root was isolated).
- Art pool: the item's own art + its TMDB backdrops (E5 S2, rendered straight
from the TMDB CDN — the CSP allows it) + its collection siblings' art; the show
page adds related art; the PERSON page cross-dissolves through the person's
films' art (the roadmap's signature touch).
- HARD-OFF under prefers-reduced-motion (static, no overlay) + a new usePref
"Crossfade backdrop" toggle in the detail customize menu (fade 1.6s / 7s cycle).
Wired into PlexInfo, PlexShowView, PlexSeasonView, PlexPersonView. Tests:
plexBackdrop.dom.test.tsx (5: paint+isolate+overlay, reduced-motion off, single
image, animate=false, disable/unmount cleanup). Browser-E2E'd (isolation +
overlay render + a real backdrop crossfade + the toggle). Gate: vitest 347,
backend lane 403 (unchanged — FE only).

The person page now leads with a TMDB bio, lazily fetched the first time it's
opened (off the S2-linked `tmdb_person_id`) and then served from the row:
- Migration 0072: ADD-only nullable person columns on plex_people — biography,
birthday, deathday, place_of_birth, known_for_department, also_known_as,
known_for ([{tmdb_id, media_type, title}]), tmdb_enriched_at.
- tmdb.py: TmdbClient.fetch_person (/person/{id}+combined_credits), parse_person
(bio + a popularity-ranked, deduped known_for), apply_person, enrich_person
(lazy one-shot, key+id guarded, commits, 404 stamps the watermark).
- people.py person_detail: loads the full person row, lazily enriches (best-effort
— never fails the page), serves the bio fields + resolves known_for to library
rows by guid (in-library only, popularity order).
- FE PlexPersonView: bio/birth-facts/aka hero + a "Known for" Carousel rail above
the existing Movies/Shows filmography; PlexPersonDetail type + i18n (en+hu).
Tests: test_plex_person_bio.py (6: parse / lazy-enrich guards / serve) + extended
PlexPersonView.dom.test.tsx + the unknown-name contract in test_plex_person.py.
Browser-E2E'd on Jim Carrey (live TMDB enrich → bio 1937 chars, born 1962-01-17
Newmarket, Known-for resolved). Gate: vitest 337, backend lane 402.
