peter 2b56c5c2eb fix: name the error yt-dlp actually raises for a cookie-emptied client set
A review round read yt-dlp's source and found the comment behind the previous commit's safety-net
marker did not match it. Measured in the worker with a real account cookie and
`player_client=android_vr`: yt-dlp logs `Skipping client "android_vr" since it does not support
cookies`, drops it, and the request left with no client fails with "Requested format is not
available" — not "No player clients have been requested". That raise sits EARLIER in yt-dlp, before
the cookie-capability removal, so the cookie path can never reach it; and an unknown or renamed
client is skipped with a warning and replaced by yt-dlp's defaults, so the other scenario the
comment named cannot reach it either.

So the marker bought nothing: the symptom that does occur was already retriable here before this
branch. It is dropped, the comment now states what was measured, and the test asserts the real
symptom instead of a message the code cannot produce. The cookie-capability filter itself is
vindicated by the same measurement — without it every signed-in download would burn its first
attempt on a client yt-dlp discards.

Also from the round: an enqueue test for a `source_kind="youtube"` job, the one join nothing else
made (a YouTube job stores a bare 11-char ref and the URL the cookie gate keys on is rebuilt by the
adapter — both ends were pinned apart, the join was not, and a break there would stop every YouTube
cookie silently while signed-out downloads kept working). And copy corrections: the group's only
unhedged claim is hedged, "described the video" loses the pipeline vocabulary, and four Hungarian
phrasings that read as translated English are rewritten.

peter c06a456a9a fix: a YouTube stream refused after extraction is the gate, not a network fault
Measured on the isolated test stack the same night, on the very same video ~90 minutes after it was
answering with the bot message: yt-dlp got the player response and picked its formats, and the CDN
then refused the stream itself — "unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden".
Signed out it did that on every attempt; with the owner's cookie attached the video downloaded in
full. So the wall moves between the player response and the stream, and the text it wears there was
costing the download twice.

retriable: the format URLs belong to the client that minted them, so the next client set is a real
second chance — but this text classifies as `network` and nothing in the YouTube marker list matched
it, so the ladder ended the job on attempt 1 and never tried the fallback.

catalog: `youtube.media_forbidden` for the cookie-less case, so the UI stops calling it a network
error when nothing was wrong with the network, and names what actually gets past it. Scoped exactly
as narrowly as the measurement: another host keeps the generic `network` category, and so does a
download that already carried a cookie — telling a signed-in user to sign in is the failure the
catalog exists to avoid. EN + HU copy.

peter 864f673ef5 fix: a YouTube video behind the bot wall is downloadable with cookies
A YouTube link can fail with "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" while every
other YouTube download works — YouTube gates INDIVIDUAL videos behind a
signed-in session. Measured on prod job 273: all twelve of yt-dlp's player
clients fail on that one video while its neighbours download fine, the bgutil
PO-token sidecar is live and answering, and the newest yt-dlp fails identically.
So the download is not broken by our stack or a stale yt-dlp, and no retry,
client switch or upgrade gets past it. A cookie is the only way in.

The failure copy already sends the user to Settings -> Account -> Download
authentication, but YouTube was not in the cookie host registry, so that
dropdown could not help them: the app asked for something it did not offer.

credentials: YouTube joins SUPPORTED_HOSTS (youtube.com, youtu.be,
youtube-nocookie.com). The Settings dropdown, the SEC-12 host scope and the
private-asset cache salt all derive from the row, so that is the whole wiring.

adapters: a signed-in YouTube download runs only cookie-capable player clients.
Measured against yt-dlp's own INNERTUBE_CLIENTS table: with account cookies
attached yt-dlp REMOVES every client whose SUPPORTS_COOKIES is False, and a set
it empties that way raises "No player clients have been requested" — which is
not a per-client flake it retries past. Our primary set is android_vr, one of
those, so without this the cookie would have failed the download on attempt 1
and never reached the POT-backed web fallback it exists for. A test pins the
client list against the installed yt-dlp so a version bump turns the gate red
instead of silently un-authing every YouTube download, and the empty-set message
joins the retriable markers as the second line of defence.

errors: catalog entries for the wall with and without a cookie, so a user who
has already added cookies is told they were rejected (YouTube rotates exported
ones) rather than to add some. The marker is quote-agnostic: YouTube writes the
apostrophe as U+2019, so "you're not a bot" with a straight quote never matches
the real text. EN + HU copy.

peter 47d968eeea fix: review round 4 — an account switch unloads as the old account, a share link's lockout costs five networks
Deep-review round 4, targeted at round 3's changes (f569b19c..e7f38396).

Accounts
- Switching, adding or signing out an account moved the tab's pin before
  the page unloaded, so the players' resume beacons fired on the way out
  under the NEW account: one account's playback position saved into the
  other. The pin is now handed to the next page (pinOnNextPage) and taken
  over at import; clearActiveAccount is gone.
- Switching to a suspended account was refused but left it in the
  switcher, refused on every click; a deactivated one was not refused at
  all, and made the default it signed every account in the browser out on
  the next request. Every account _session_user would refuse — gone,
  deactivated, suspended, revoked — is refused and dropped from the list.

Share page (/watch)
- An IPv6 client is limited by its /64 (client_ip becomes client_key, for
  every limiter): keyed on the full address, one subscriber could rotate
  through endless identities. The comments now state what the per-link
  ceiling costs: guessing from five networks can keep a link shut for its
  window, and guesses already running when it fills are still checked.
- The link is looked up before the limiter records the attempt, so made-up
  tokens no longer grow it by an entry each.

Forms
- Failing the same way twice is announced again: the sign-in, passphrase
  and setup errors are keyed on the attempt (a clear and a set in one
  handler left the alert node untouched).
- The install wizard's own validation showed the generic error — it threw
  plain objects its catch did not read. It sets the step's message.

Tests: a re-pin leaving the previous account's notices behind; the pin
hand-over; switching to an ended account; the /64 viewer; made-up tokens;
the repeated alerts. Each mutation-checked RED for its own reason.

peter e7f38396a2 fix: review round 3 — a new tab keeps its account's notices, a revoked tab account lands on the default
Deep-review round 3 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.

Account boot
- The notification history and settings, and the hints toggle, are read
  when their modules load, which in a new tab (bookmark, typed URL) is
  before BootGate pins the account: they read as nobody's, and the tab's
  first notice replaced the account's stored history (up to 100 entries)
  with a one-item list. They now read again when the tab is pinned
  (onAccountPinned, run by setActiveAccount); a notice raised before the
  pin stays, after the history.
- A tab pinned to an account still in this browser's wallet but whose
  session ended (suspended, deleted, or revoked by "log out everywhere")
  got "signed out" from /api/me while the default account was still
  signed in, and signing in again as anyone else left it there. A refused
  per-tab account now leaves the wallet, and the probe answers as the
  default, so the tab reloads onto it.

Share page (/watch)
- The password unlock is limited per viewer (link + client IP), under a
  per-link ceiling that counts only wrong passwords. Keyed on the link
  alone, ten wrong guesses every five minutes locked out every viewer,
  the ones with the password included. client_ip moves to app.ratelimit
  so the public routes can key on it.
- Its failure messages and the load-failure screen are announced
  (role=alert, the password input described by its error). The sign-in,
  passphrase, password-change and setup form errors get role=alert too.

Comments that still described removed machinery are corrected: App's
collapse flags, SettingsPanel's Save bar, ConfigPanel, authed_format_sig.

Tests: the account's history and hints across the pin; a revoked and a
suspended pinned account; the per-viewer limit and the ceiling; the
limiter's exhausted(); the share page's announced failures; a share
link's feed filters persisted. Each mutation-checked RED for its own
reason.

peter f569b19c49 fix: review round 2 — a signed-out tab acts as nobody, honest share-page failures
Deep-review round 2 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.

Account resolution (server)
- A request naming an account that is no longer signed in to this browser
  (X-Siftlode-Account or ?account=) now acts as nobody instead of the
  session's default account. A tab still pinned to an account signed out in
  another tab went on acting as the default: its player checkpoints and
  preference saves landed in that account, the messages socket and Plex
  playback ran as it, and its Sign out signed THAT account out. A hidden tab
  never polls /api/me, so a tab playing in the background kept doing it.
  The /api/me bootstrap probe alone keeps the fallback, which is how such a
  tab learns who it now is: the app's 401 handler reloads, and BootGate
  re-pins the tab.

BootGate
- On an identity change the tab reloads without moving its pin first. The
  tree being torn down still runs its unmount saves before the page goes,
  and with the pin already moved they wrote into the new account's local
  keys (a player volume still pending). The reloaded page corrects the pin.

Share page (/watch)
- Only a 404 says the link is gone. A 5xx, a dropped connection, and the
  unlock's own rate limit all rendered "no longer available ... expired or
  revoked" to a viewer with a valid link, with no way to try again. A load
  failure now offers Retry; too many password tries says so and keeps the
  form; an unlock that gets no answer says so instead of doing nothing.
  Strings in en/hu/de.

Downloads
- A cookie-authed asset is recognised under the current signature version
  and the one before it, so a job queued before a deploy that bumps the
  version still downloads with its cookie instead of failing on the login
  wall with an error that says no cookie was used.

The app chunk is preloaded through lazyWithPreload, so a failed fetch no
longer leaves an unhandled rejection beside the ErrorBoundary. The panel
layout seed is one helper (seedLayout).

Tests: the stale-tab refusal, its harmless Sign out and the probe fallback;
the pre-bump authed asset; BootGate keeping the pin on reload and staying
mounted through a same-account change; the reveal clock's later-commit
hand-off; the prefs, panel layout and demo-scope seeds from the me cache;
the share page's failure states. Each mutation-checked RED for its own
reason.

peter e795d191c5 fix(boot): review round 1 — reconcile the tab pin, one loading clock, honest probe failures
Deep-review round 1 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.

BootGate
- The tab's account pin is corrected to the account the server answered as.
  The server honours the pin only for an account still signed in to this
  browser and otherwise answers as the default, so a tab pinned to an account
  signed out in another tab ran as the default on the server while reading
  and writing the gone account's local state.
- A mounted tab whose identity changes (its session ended, or the case above)
  reloads instead of rebuilding the tree in place, like every account switch;
  that also drops the previous account's query cache. The account key on the
  tree goes: the readyFor gate already unmounted it on every change.
- An unanswered setup probe shows the error with Retry, like an unanswered
  account probe, instead of the signed-out landing to a signed-in user.
- Comments: /api/me never 401s; the ended-session path is identity → nobody.

Loading states
- LoadingState's reveal delay is one clock across loading states that hand
  over to each other (boot screen → page-chunk fallback → the page's own
  fetching state), instead of a CSS delay restarted by each, which blanked a
  visible spinner for another 300 ms at every hand-off. BootScreen is now the
  shared loading visual, full screen, counting from navigation start.

Plex shared link
- Persists only the dimensions the link carries again. Writing the default
  filters for an omitted `pf` created the stored-filters key, which is what
  tells SavedViewsProvider the account picked filters, so the account's
  default Plex saved view was never applied again.

Watch page
- The Repeat toggle uses the shared pressed-pill paint (a solid fill when on)
  instead of Button variants that differ only in colour, and its flag goes
  through storage.ts readJSON/writeJSON.
- The actions wrap under the title when the row is too narrow, instead of
  squeezing the title into a column a word wide on a phone; the title breaks
  long words.

Comments that still justified code by the removed adopt effects (usePref,
PrefsProvider, FeedViewProvider) are rewritten against the seed-once model.

Tests: BootGate error/retry for both probes, setup mode, a failed background
refetch keeping the app, the pin correction and the reload on an identity
change; the shared reveal clock; the Plex link persist; the audio signature
actually moved off version 4; a video download (av and v) still remuxed to
an mp4. Each mutation-checked RED for its own reason.

peter 4ad7183102 feat(players): keep a video playing in the background on Brave iOS; repeat on the watch page
On iPad Brave, a shared video stopped the moment the browser left the
foreground, even with Brave's "Enable Background Audio" on, while an mp3
kept playing. Brave iOS keeps a web <video> going by re-playing one the OS
paused (brave-core ios/browser/web/media/resources/media_backgrounding.ts),
but it only hooks a <video> present at document start or added as a
MutationObserver addedNode that IS a video. React inserts a player's
<video> inside its freshly mounted wrapper in one go, so Brave never saw it.

lib/browserBackgroundPlay re-inserts a mounted <video> at its own position,
once per element: it becomes an added node, the DOM React manages does not
change, and playback is not interrupted. The watch page, the downloads
library player and the Plex player hand their <video> to it. Measured on the
owner's iPad (Brave) with a prototype of the same idea: the video kept
playing in another app and with the screen locked. The YouTube modal is not
ours to change: its <video> lives in YouTube's cross-origin iframe, and
nothing of ours pauses it on backgrounding.

The prototype's two audio-element variants (a muted video following an
<audio>, and an <audio> taking over on hide) went silent in the background on
the iPad and are removed.

The watch page gets a Repeat toggle, on by default and remembered per
browser (LS.watchRepeat; the page has no account): it sets `loop` on the
<video> or the audio-only <audio>.

peter 2c3aaec62d feat(watch): prototype background sound for a shared video on iPad (dev only)
On iPad Brave a shared mp3 keeps playing when the browser leaves the
foreground, but a shared h264 video stops at once, even with Brave's own
"Enable Background Audio" on. Three variants behind a `?bg=` param on the
/watch page, for a real-iPad comparison; without the param the page is
unchanged.

  a: the sound comes from a hidden <audio> on the same file, the <video> runs
     muted and follows it (drift correction, user seeks and mute moved onto
     the audio; our own catch-up seeks are not copied back, which re-seeked
     the sound on every correction and sent both back seconds in WebKit).
  b: the <video> plays with sound; an <audio> unlocked by the start tap takes
     over while the page is hidden and hands back on return.
  c: no audio trick: the <video> is inserted as a node of its own into an
     already-mounted wrapper. Brave iOS's background play only hooks a video
     present at document start or added as a MutationObserver addedNode that
     IS a video (brave-core ios/browser/web/media/resources/
     media_backgrounding.ts); the page inserted the video inside a new wrapper
     in one go, so Brave never saw it. A re-implementation of that detection
     rule reports the default page's video unhooked and mode c's hooked.

Modes a and b were driven in Chromium and WebKit with a simulated backgrounding
(document.hidden forced plus the OS's pause): sound continues, the picture
catches up on return, a user pause stops both. iPadOS's own media policy can
only be judged on the iPad.

peter 70598d47a3 fix(dev): proxy the messages WebSocket through Vite, which stops a reset killing the dev server
The Vite dev proxy had no `ws: true` on /api, so the in-app messages socket
(/api/messages/ws) was an upgrade nobody handled: it never connected on :5173,
and the first reset on it (a closed tab, a dropped connection) threw an
unhandled ECONNRESET that took the whole dev server down. Reproduced with a raw
upgrade + RST (dev server dead); with `ws: true` the backend answers the
upgrade, the dev server survives the reset and a closed tab, and the signed-in
socket is accepted through the proxy.

peter 5858e7b513 test(e2e): run the net on WebKit and an iPad profile; opt the account out of Home
The Playwright net now runs every flow in three projects: chromium (Desktop
Chrome), webkit (Desktop Safari) and ipad (iPad gen 7 landscape: touch, mobile
viewport). WebKit catches the engine-level differences every iOS browser
inherits; the config and the README say plainly what it does NOT catch: iPad
media refusals. Playwright's WebKit decodes through the host OS, and on Windows
it played an mp3-in-mp4 and an AV1 mp4 that a real iPad refuses, so media
formats are checked on a real iPad against the dev stack over the LAN.

global.setup opts the e2e account out of starting on Home (the Startup setting),
which the feed, channel and player specs need since E24. It only takes effect
with the new-tab boot fix: before it, all twelve of those specs landed on Home
in every project. 49/49 green on :8080 across the three projects.
2026-09-14 22:29:33 +02:00
peter 5346efcd10 fix(boot): a new tab knows its account before anything renders
With Settings -> Appearance -> Startup turned off, every NEW tab or window still
opened on Home; only a same-tab reload honoured it. The provider tree mounted
before /api/me answered, so NavigationProvider's initializer could not read the
per-account opt-out, landed on Home and mirrored ?page=home into the address bar.
When App pinned the account a moment later, the re-hydrate re-read that mirror
and stayed on Home. The same mount-then-patch shape made a new tab start on
default filters, the default theme and the browser language, and correct each
after the first paint.

BootGate (main.tsx, above the providers) now owns the setup-status and /api/me
queries and mounts the tree only once the identity is settled: it pins the tab's
account and adopts the account's language in a layout effect, so the first frame
of the app is already right. The tree is keyed on the account id, which makes
"per-account state is read once, for this account" a structural guarantee.

With that, the whole re-hydrate machinery is gone: useAccountRehydrate, the
reactive active-account store, the markDirty guards, the pin-deferred saved-view
seed and the present-dimension bookkeeping of the shared Channels/Plex links.
PrefsProvider, FeedFiltersProvider, usePref and App's panel layouts seed from the
me cache instead of adopting it in an effect; the theme is applied in layout
effects. The app chunk is fetched in parallel with the probe, and the boot screen
only fades its label in after 400 ms, on one clock across the gate and the
Suspense fallback.

Module switches no longer flash a placeholder either. Measured frame by frame
in Chromium and WebKit, every first visit to a module showed "Loading..." for
17-70 ms: the lazy chunk's Suspense fallback, then often the first fetch's
LoadingState. Pages are now lazyWithPreload components, and App fetches the
chunks of every module the account can reach (plus the channel page) once the
first page is idle; a preloaded page renders synchronously and never suspends.
LoadingState, the one shared loading visual, fades in only after 300 ms, so a
fast load shows nothing in between and a slow one still gets its spinner.

peter 6169e32ca5 fix(downloads): a signed-in Facebook reel keeps its title, and an mp3 stays an mp3
Since a Facebook cookie was added on prod, every reel came down titled
"Video": measured on dev, a signed-in read gives yt-dlp the placeholder
"Video" (an 18+ reel read as Chrome gives "Facebook") while the post's text
is still in the description. A new SourceAdapter.title hook takes the whole
first line of the description in that case, and both title writes (the early
fill and the finished download) go through it, so the row, the file name and
the share preview carry the post's text again. The line is not cut with an
ellipsis: normalize_title's NFKC turns "…" into "..." and collapses it to
".", which read as a finished sentence (seen in dev UAT).

The "Audio (MP3)" profile's extracted .mp3 was remuxed into an .mp4 by the
browser-safe step (the audio spec is clamped to container mp4 too) and served
as video/mp4, which iPad's WebKit will not play (prod job 268). Audio mode now
skips that step, so an .mp3 is served as audio/mpeg and an .m4a as audio/mp4.
Audio downloads version their cache identity on their own (v5), so a cached
remuxed audio re-derives without re-downloading every cached video.

peter 2a9ddb78ac fix(downloads): E11.5 epic-end review round 2
Pause now re-reads the job under the same asset-then-job row lock as resume,
cancel, delete and redownload. Its unlocked write waited for a concurrent
cancel's lock and then set the released job back to paused, a holding status,
so a later delete released the same hold again and could free a file another
user's job still held (measured: the overlapping-request test ends 'paused'
instead of 'canceled' with the old read). The lock test now calls the route
handlers, so it also pins which helper each route uses.

Comments follow the code: resolve_url's contract names both verdicts and that a
failed page read is raised as itself; the inherited-failure diagnosis asks the
cookie gate as it stands when the job is claimed, so its advice fits the cookie
that job's Retry would use; the undecryptable-cookie warning no longer claims a
download goes ahead, since the worker parent reaches it only to diagnose.
2026-09-14 01:42:57 +02:00
peter e887233210 fix(downloads): E11.5 epic-end review round 1
A refused Facebook cookie on a group post is no longer "no video in this post":
measured on dev, Facebook answers with its login page (no post id at all), so the
adapter now raises its own POST_NOT_SHOWN verdict and the catalog explains it as
the refused cookie. The adapter owns both post verdicts and the "cannot parse
data" wall wording, so the Chrome retry and the catalog read one constant. The
group-post "no formats" entry is cookie-scoped (with a cookie yt-dlp only gets the
post's video link) and uses the adapter's own group-post test instead of a
"/groups/" substring.

Job transitions that move an asset's ref count (resume, cancel, delete,
redownload) re-read the job under a row lock, asset first, so two overlapping
requests can no longer release the same hold. get_or_create_asset loses an insert
race inside a SAVEPOINT instead of rolling back the caller's pending writes (Retry
lost its cleared error). Every worker-side job failure goes through
finalize_if_running and writes error_detail, so a cancel that landed first is kept
and a failure never shows an earlier one's copy. The worker asks the download
child's own cookie gate (credentials.usable_cookie) when a job inherits a failed
asset.

UI: the Facebook copy no longer points at a Retry button the failure window does
not have, says "paste" like Settings, and the HU wording is fixed
("Újraletöltés" on the re-download confirm). A category this client has no copy
for falls back to the generic sentence instead of a raw key.

Tests: route serialization of error_detail, the probed duration through a real
_download, the page-read cap and a failed read, a Retry off a pending asset, the
confirm-button labels, the lock and savepoint races.

peter 90ee34a1b4 feat(downloads): a Facebook group post downloads its own video, or says it has none
Given a group post's link, yt-dlp either found no formats or took another
video from the page's feed data, so a "successful" retry of such a post was a
wrong download. With the user's cookie the Facebook adapter now reads the post
page, takes the single video node in the script blocks that carry the post id,
and downloads that video's watch link (the Chrome retry does the rest). No
single video in the post fails with its own message and the group-post copy,
reworded to say the post has no video; the post link is never handed to yt-dlp
as a fallback. Without a cookie nothing changes.

peter 118fc70e08 fix(downloads): take the duration from the file when yt-dlp gives none
A Facebook or Instagram reel extracts with no duration, so the asset kept a
NULL duration_s although the file plays for minutes, and the Library row had
no trim action. The finalize probe now returns the duration with the codecs
(the file wins, info fills a gap), and runs before the sidecars so the .nfo
runtime gets it too.

requirements.lock.

peter 1354f5b503 feat(downloads): a Facebook cookie download stuck at "Cannot parse data" is retried as Chrome
Measured on dev: with the user's cookie some reels still answer "Cannot parse
data" and only extract when the request impersonates Chrome. Impersonation is
a second attempt behind that one error, only when a cookie is attached — links
that already download with the cookie keep their plain path, and without a
cookie the same error is the login wall.

curl_cffi is pinned inside yt-dlp's supported range (0.10-0.15; outside it
every target silently reports "unavailable"); the lock only gains the new
packages. A test fails the gate if the locked pair can no longer impersonate.

peter 98ec1ffcab fix(downloads): Retry and Re-download take a cookie added after the failure
The login-wall copy tells the user to add their cookies and press Retry, but
Retry kept the job on the shared asset the worker never attaches a cookie to,
so it failed on the same wall. Resume now moves a pending/errored job onto the
asset enqueue would pick with the cookie (never off a file or a download in
flight).

Re-download salted its fresh asset with the job's previous asset id, which the
cookie gate cannot recompute, so even a cookie download rebuilt without the
cookie. The rebuild salt is now the new asset's own id (plus the user's cookie
salt when one applies), and is_authed_asset recognises it.

peter 18c11ca437 feat(downloads): a per-site failure catalog — Facebook's walls say why and what to do
A failed Facebook download read "Download failed": yt-dlp words the login wall
(18+ reel, closed group) as "Cannot parse data", which no category matched.
Measured on dev with the owner's cookie before writing a rule — the same text is
the login wall without a cookie and a refused cookie with one.

- errors.diagnose(msg, url, cookie_attached) tries a host-scoped catalog first
  (all-of markers, cookie state, link fragment) and falls back to the category.
  First entries: facebook.login_wall, facebook.cookie_rejected,
  facebook.group_post_video. The module doc is the recipe for the next entry.
- download_jobs.error_detail (0084) + backfill of the stored Facebook parse
  failures that were unknown.
- The pipeline's failure branch passes the link and whether the cookie went
  with it; resume and redownload clear code and detail (redownload never
  cleared error_code).
- A job meeting an already-failed asset got the text but no code, so it read
  "Download failed" where the first job said why. It is diagnosed again, with
  the cookie state from credentials.is_authed_asset (now shared with the
  cookie gate); the redacted network text classifies back to network.
- FE: failCopyKeys gives the row and the failure window one lookup — catalog
  copy, else the category. Copy in EN and HU; a contract test pins every
  backend entry to both locales.

peter 4c7ab12a3e release: 0.85.0 — E11 Power Navigation
Back, dialogs and menus keep your place, and the keyboard walks every list: five sprints plus three epic-end review rounds (19 → 14, 18 → 12, 14 → 14). Minor: j/k list navigation, s and g-chords, and Back-to-item are features.

peter c6b552e75f fix(keys): epic-end review round 3 — the part-way clip count shows, busy buttons keep focus, cards say their names
Targeted round over 3cd0c525's fix surfaces: 14 raised, 14 fixed.

- VideoEditor: the "only X of Y clips" toast went silent exactly on the job-cap/quota refusal it was
  written for (req had already reported the error); it now always shows. The cut list holds still while
  Create queues, and a retry continues the "(i/N)" series.
- ChannelPage: Subscribe/Unsubscribe use Button `loading`, "Load more" and ChannelDiscovery's Subscribe
  block the click with aria-disabled instead of native disabled; busy Block/Hide no longer light up on
  hover.
- listNav: an item can name itself (`navItemAttrs(i, name)`) — Plex posters, seasons, episodes, message
  rows and download rows pass their title; focus on a toast's Undo keeps the removed card's slot.
- AnchoredPopover: the hand-back only for focus-managed surfaces (a hover card no longer pulls focus
  back); the dead panel-ref check is gone.
- AccountPanel: no confirmation mail offered to the demo account; send_failed copy no longer blames
  the message for an unreachable server. Pager comment points at scrollParent.

peter 3cd0c525e2 fix(keys): epic-end review round 2 — focus comes back to the card, the right rail and the reason
Whole-epic deep-review of E11 (18 raised, 12 kept; B and G refuted, four latent test-hardening notes dropped),
plus the admin refusal copy gap round 1 surfaced.

- A context menu opened from a card the keyboard is on gives the focus back to the card. floating-ui returns
  focus through the opener's first tabbable descendant even when handed a ref, so for a non-tabbable opener the
  surface restores it itself (measured in Chrome: j, Shift+F10, Escape left it on the thumbnail link).
- Back finds a named list (a rail) by its name: a rail that appeared above it after the cache expired sent the
  focus into the wrong rail. An unnamed list is matched only when the page has the same number of lists.
- The slot kept for a removed item is forgotten once focus moves on to page content (search, a chip), so j after
  new results starts at the first visible item; a menu or dialog opened from the item keeps it.
- The list keys reach the cheat sheet only while a list has an item.
- A j-focused card root is a named group while it holds the focus.
- The channel page's Block and Hide toggles keep the focus while their request runs.
- A split export that fails part-way says how many clips were added and deselects them, so a retry adds only
  the rest.
- Config save, the one-click share link and "log out other sessions" report failures with their reason.
- VirtualGrid uses the one scroll-parent walk listNav measures against.
- Admin refusals (activate, resend, invite, set-password link) say why in HU and EN instead of "try again";
  the email-off special cases collapse into that one reason. The contract reads the codes from localizeDetail.
  HU copy points to Konfiguráció → E-mail / SMTP; HU "unreachable" matches the EN change of round 1.
2026-09-13 19:18:04 +02:00
peter f130a1c05a fix(keys): epic-end review round 1 — Back, menus and dialogs keep the focus where it belongs
Deep-review of E11 (19 raised, 14 confirmed; 2 refuted, 3 latent test-hardening notes dropped).

- Back from a sub-view (a Plex show page, a Messages thread) restores the item it was opened from
  even when focus was still inside the view: the first attempt now waits one task, past the
  sub-view's own popstate listener (measured in Chrome: it left focus on <body>).
- The restore listener is installed at load, so the first Back after a reload finds it; a push
  cancels a restore still waiting for the last landing's lists.
- Navigating over an overlay asks it again, a render apart, while its entry stays: the Plex
  player peels one panel per Back step, so Shift+W over info + stats closed one panel and dropped
  the navigation.
- j/k: a native <button> item keeps its own Tab stop; landing twice on the same item no longer
  leaks its tabindex; after the focused item is removed (a hidden card) the next j goes on from
  its slot when that slot is on screen.
- An abandoned `g` no longer swallows a modifier chord (g, then Mod+K opened the browser search).
- A hover card above a dialog no longer switches its Tab trap off (player, Modal, wizard,
  Lightbox): new layerStack `anyBlockingLayerAbove`.
- "Manage views…" closes its menu before opening the dialog, through a shared `closeThenAct`
  that ActionMenu now uses too.
- Copy: the EN welcome says "Feed"; the EN unreachable reason no longer claims a change;
  stale comments about PlayerModal's scroll lock and dialog contract.

peter bbd31c7143 feat(keys): Back returns focus to the item a view was opened from; "Feed" everywhere; every backend id named
Owner answers to the E11 S5 raises (2026-09-13): 1 → A, 2 → "Feed" in every language, 3 → translate the
proxy label and fix every config key missing in BOTH languages ("maintenance", "tmdb" — old bugs).

Focus across a view change (1-A). Opening a Plex title from Home's rail, a channel from the Channels
table or a title from a Plex grid switches the page or the sub-view, which unmounts the list; Back used
to hand focus to <body>, so the next `j` started over at the top. The YouTube player (an overlay)
already restored onto the card.
- `lib/listNav`: `navPosition()` (list's place in reading order, the page's list count, item index)
  and `restoreNavPosition()`: focuses the item once the page has as many lists on screen as when it was
  left, polls on a timer (a hidden tab runs no animation frames), gives up after 2 s or at once when
  something already holds focus, focuses without scrolling (the scroll restore owns the position).
- `lib/history`: `rememberNavPosition()` stamps `sfNav` onto the entry being left and returns the state
  without it (a new entry must not inherit it); one popstate listener restores and spends the stamp,
  so a later landing on the same entry (an overlay closing over it) cannot pull focus to an old item.
- Called before every view push: `setPage`, `openChannel`, `enterYtSearch`, `useHistorySubview.open`,
  the Channels tab push. `navPosition.wiring.contract.test` fails on any `history.pushState(` without
  it (the overlay stack's own push is the one exemption).

"Feed" (2). The module is "Feed" in both languages: every "hírfolyam" in the Hungarian UI (≈45 strings,
suffixed: Feedből, Feeded, Feedben…) and the prose "feed" in English that means the module ("your
Feed", "Hide from Feed"); "RSS feed" keeps its meaning. The welcome email says it too.

Backend ids without a name (3). The Configuration page showed `maintenance`, `tmdb`,
`maintenance_revalidate_batch`, `download_upload_max_bytes`, `audit_retention_days`, `plex_overlay_map`,
`tmdb_api_key` and `tmdb_language` as raw identifiers — the lookup falls back to the id, and the i18n
parity test stayed green because both languages missed the same keys. Added labels + hints (EN/HU),
the two groups (and their tab order), the missing `scheduler.jobDesc.demo_reset`, removed the stale
`plex_sync_interval_min` field, and "YouTube API kimenő proxy". `i18n/backendIds.contract.test` reads
`sysconfig.SPECS`, `scheduler.JOB_INTERVALS` and the audit/quota action enums from the backend sources
and fails on an id without its name in either language, or a name left for an id the backend dropped.

peter 8731508645 feat(keys): the conversation list walks with j/k; the cheat sheet names keys in the reader's language
E11 S5 — the HU/EN sweep and the keyboard-only pass over every module.

- The keyboard cheat sheet printed "Space" and "Menu" on a Hungarian sheet: a keycap that carries a
  WORD (not a legend every layout prints alike, like Esc, Ctrl or Enter) is now named by the caller in
  the reader's language (`formatChord(chord, words)`, `keys.cap.*`: Szóköz / Menü).
- The Plex player's ⌫/Esc line said "Stop & back to feed", but the player goes back to wherever it
  was opened from (Home, a Plex page): "Stop & go back" / "Leállítás és vissza".
- Messages: the conversation list is a keyboard list (NavGrid + navItemAttrs, the name button is the
  open element; the pop-out button keeps its own Enter). D1 covers every list whose rows open one
  thing; this one was missed in S4. Notification cards have no single open action and stay out, like
  the download queue.

Sweep, measured: every static `t("…")` key used in the source exists in both languages (the only
misses are template prefixes); the HU values equal to EN are proper nouns and loanwords (Admin, Plex,
Trakt, Shorts). Palette in Hungarian: "téma" makes "Téma: Midnight" the active row ahead of the channel
"Topik - mindig témában", live region "7 találat".

Keyboard-only pass in Chrome, Hungarian UI — 1024×768: every `g` chord lands on its module, `j` rings
the first item (solid 2px accent) on Home, Feed, Channels, Playlists, Plex and Downloads, `s` focuses
the search on Feed, Channels, Playlists and Plex, no page scrolls sideways. 3440×1440: `j` → → ↓
walks Home, Feed (8 columns: 0 → 1 → 9), Channels, Playlists, Plex and Downloads, no sideways scroll.
The help sheet lists every line translated; inside the Plex player "Szóköz / K" and "⌫ / Esc
Leállítás és vissza". Messages: a real `j` rings the row, Enter opens the thread.

peter b5d37ca142 feat(keys): j/k and the arrows walk the channel, playlist and download lists
Third and last slice of the E11 keyboard layer (S4c). S4a/S4b covered every card grid and rail; the
table-shaped pages — the channel manager, a playlist, the download center — were still Tab-stop
country: a channel row carries a priority stepper, four action buttons and a tag picker before the next
row's name.

- `ui/DataTable keyboardNav`: the rows are the items, Enter clicks the element a column marks
  `data-nav-open`. DataTable renders its rows twice (a table, and a card list below `md`); both register
  and `lib/listNav` now walks only lists on screen (`checkVisibility`), so `j` past the last row never
  carries on into the hidden copy.
- `lib/listNav` leaves a key something before it already handled (`defaultPrevented`): during a keyboard
  drag a playlist row's grip moves the row with the arrows, and dnd-kit takes the key on the document
  before listNav's window listener. Without the guard ↓ moved the focus off the grip and dropped the drag.
- `ui/NavGrid as="tbody"` for a table whose body is the list (the playlist, under dnd-kit's
  SortableContext).
- Wired: Subscriptions and Discovery tables, the card layout (`ChannelLayoutGrid` → VirtualGrid
  `keyboardNav`), Hidden/Blocked cards (the ChannelLink name is a channel's open element); a playlist's
  rows (the title plays; the grip keeps Space/Enter); the download queue, library and shared lists (the
  play button opens, `IconBtn open`; a row without one opens nothing).
- `listNav.wiring.contract.test`: `VirtualGrid` and `DataTable` must say `keyboardNav` like `Carousel`,
  `DownloadRow` is a card; the audit log's table is the one exemption (its rows open nothing), and an
  exemption that no longer matches a tag fails the test.

Measured in Chrome: Channels table j → row, ring round the whole row; a row walked down keeps 12px above
the viewport edge, walked up clears the sticky header by 35px; Enter opens the channel. Cards 3 columns:
→ 0→1, ↓ 1→4. Hidden and Discovery: j + Enter open the channel. Playlist: j + Enter plays, Escape returns
focus to the row; a keyboard drag (Enter on the grip, ↓) moves the row with focus kept on the grip, and
Escape cancels with the order unchanged. Downloads library: Enter plays a video row, does nothing on a
plain file row.
2026-09-13 06:08:05 +02:00
peter eb0507f942 fix(keys): a card reached by Tab rings the whole card, not just its poster
Owner report: on the Plex browse grid, Tab onto the first card ringed only the poster, and the first
arrow key then moved the ring round the whole card. The poster is the card's own role=button Tab stop,
so Tab gave it the app-wide button ring, while listNav's arrows focus the card root (D2: the ring goes
round the whole item).

The card's "open" element (`data-nav-open` — the Plex poster, a video card's title link) now stands
for the card: when it holds keyboard focus the card root wears the ring and the element's own ring is
transparent. Controls inside the card (watched toggle, actions) keep their own ring.

Measured in Chrome (jsdom evaluates neither :focus-visible nor :has): Plex browse, Tab from the sort
control → poster focused, card outline 2px accent, poster outline transparent; → moves to card 1 with
the same ring. Feed, Tab onto a card's title link → the card is ringed, the link is not.
2026-09-13 05:47:43 +02:00
peter 6d09b94bbb feat(keys): j/k and the arrows walk Home's rails and every Plex grid and rail
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.
2026-09-13 05:38:36 +02:00
peter 5274216981 feat(ui): PageUp/PageDown page through every dropdown list, not just the palette
The palette got PageUp/PageDown, and the same crawl stayed everywhere else a list opens under a
control: the sidebar's channel filter, the Plex genre/studio/collection pickers, the filter and sort
menus, submenus of every playlist you own. floating-ui's list navigation has only the arrows and
Home/End.

- `lib/listPaging`: the one definition of a page (the rows wholly in view minus one, a fixed 10 with
  no layout) and of where it lands (stops at both ends, never on a row it may not take, looking back
  toward the start rather than past it). The palette now uses it instead of its own copy, and
  `listNav` takes its scroll-parent helper from here.
- `AnchoredPopover`: one keydown handler on the reference AND the surface, so a combobox (keys on its
  input, `aria-activedescendant`) and a roving menu (keys on the focused row) both page. It runs after
  floating-ui's own, which has by then switched to keyboard modality and scrolls the new row in. A
  disabled row is never the target; a submenu's key does not also page the menu around it; with no
  mounted rows (closed, a hover card, a dialog) the key keeps its native meaning.

Measured in the browser: the channel filter shows 8 rows and pages by 7 with the active row in view
after the scroll; a menu pages to its last row and back, the page behind it does not scroll; the
palette still pages by 11 of its 12 visible rows.
2026-09-13 05:20:53 +02:00
peter 75d89613d0 feat(palette): PageUp/PageDown move a page of results at a time
The jump-to palette lists every module, channel, playlist, view and action — 461 rows on the
owner's account, ~11 of them in view — and the arrows were the only way through it: forty presses to
cross the channel group.

- PageDown/PageUp step by the rows that fit in the list right now, minus one, so the row you paged
  from stays in sight at the new page's edge. Measured per press (the list is 50vh and group headings
  eat into it); a fixed 10 when there is no layout to measure.
- Unlike the arrows they stop at the ends instead of wrapping: a page-sized jump that lands back at
  the top reads as having lost your place.
- Home/End stay the text field's own.

Measured in the browser: 0 → 10 → 20 rows, stops on row 461, PageUp from the end steps 9 (a group
heading is in view), the selected row stays visible throughout.
2026-09-13 05:03:35 +02:00
peter 8fb276aa90 feat(keys): j/k walk the feed, s finds the search box, g jumps to a module
A feed card cost ~10 Tab stops, so the tenth card sat ~135 Tabs from the top of the page, and the
only keyboard focus ring (a 60% accent outline on the thumbnail) all but vanished on the dark glass.
First slice of the E11 keyboard layer (S4a); Home, Plex and the tables follow in S4b/S4c.

- `lib/listNav`: one window listener over every registered list, walked in document order. `j`/`k`
  step item to item (on into the next list — owner decision D4), the arrows move around a grid, Enter
  clicks the item's own `data-nav-open` element, so it opens exactly like a click. An item root is
  never a Tab stop: it gets `tabindex=-1` only while the keyboard is on it, and keeps it until the next
  item takes it, so the player's focus restore lands back on the card. The first `j` takes the first
  card you can see, not the top of the list.
- `VirtualGrid` takes part with `keyboardNav` (column count + scrolling an unmounted row in);
  `VirtualFeed` turns it on, so the feed, the library and the channel page all have it.
- Keymap: two-step sequences (`g h`) whose pending step belongs to the scope that started it; the
  page-level scopes (`page`, `search`, `list`) are quiet while a layer that owns the keyboard is open,
  enforced in `dispatch`. A test pins the owner's rule that none of them needs a modifier on the
  Hungarian layout.
- `g h/f/c/p/x/n/m/d/s/,` jump to a module this account can reach; `s` focuses the header search box
  and selects the old query; Escape in it hands the keyboard back to the page (Plex's typeahead spends
  its first Escape on its panel).
- Hover popovers are passive layers: an open tooltip still takes Escape first but no longer silences
  the page keys.
- Focus ring (owner decision D2 = B): solid 2px accent around the whole item; the app-wide button/
  link/row ring goes from 60% to solid too. The item keeps a transparent resting outline because the
  video card transitions `all` — without it every `j` flashed a 3px white ring (measured in Chrome).
- Help sheet: the new keys, in a fixed order after the surface's own; a `g` chord only for a reachable
  module; opened over a player or dialog it leaves out the page-level keys and the context-menu key,
  which nothing can reach there (the latter pre-existing since E10).
- CLAUDE.md: a canonical-patterns row for list/grid keys (`useListNav` + `navItemAttrs` +
  `data-nav-open`, not a private arrow-key handler).
2026-09-13 04:16:20 +02:00
peter 78a9324381 fix(ui): the palette ranks what you typed, and lib stops leaning on components
Typing "theme" put the channel "The Meltzone Podcast" (matched only through its handle
`@themeltzone`) above every "Theme: …" row, and Enter opened the channel — the palette listed
matches in pure group order and always highlighted the first one.

- CommandPalette ranks each word: label starts with it > elsewhere in the label > only the hint,
  keywords or group name; an item ranks by its worst word, then the sum. The group order stays
  fixed, rows are ranked inside each group, and the best row overall starts highlighted. The
  highlight is held by id and follows the best match until the arrows or the pointer pick a row,
  so a channel list landing mid-typing no longer shifts it.
- A11y: result groups are `role="group"` named by their heading; `aria-expanded` is false with
  nothing to choose; the listbox stays mounted (hidden) so `aria-controls` never names a missing
  element, and "Nothing matches" sits outside it; a polite status announces the count once the
  typing pauses.
- `Column`/`FilterMap`/`filterRows`/`isActive` move from `ui/tableHeader` to `lib/tableColumns`,
  and the player's auto/loop modes from `playerModalControls` to `lib/playerModes` — three lib
  helpers imported the column contract from a ui component, and `playerModalHooks` its types from a
  feature component.
- eslint: `lib/` may not import from `components/` at any depth, type-only and re-exports included;
  the boundary contract test proves it fires. CLAUDE.md and the ui README say so.
- keymap: `dispatch`'s docblock sat stacked on `matchesShortcut`'s; moved onto `dispatch`.
2026-09-13 02:14:07 +02:00
peter 8a50538275 fix(ui): a write that fails says what failed and why, wherever it fails
`req` opens its blocking dialog for 400/409/422/5xx only. A 403/404/429 was left to the caller and a
502-504 or lost connection got just the self-clearing connection notice, so 34 mutations without a
reporting onError and 15 direct api writes with a bare or missing catch failed in silence: a hidden
channel that snapped back, a share link that never revoked, a confirmed account delete that ended
with nothing said.

- lib/queryClient: one MutationCache reporter. react-query awaits it BEFORE the mutation's own
  onError, so it waits a task and skips a failure the site already reported; the toast title comes
  from `meta.failTitle`, `meta.errorShownInline` opts out.
- notifyActionError: title names WHAT failed, the line under it says WHY (`failureReason`: a
  structured localized detail, else the status). It marks the error reported (`markReported`), so
  nothing reports one failure twice; `notifyKnownFailure` for a site's own specific sentence.
- Every silent site named (45 new HU/EN titles, 4 reasons). Stale "the global dialog shows it"
  comments corrected on the job actions, channel block, Plex sync, cookies, download enqueue,
  account delete and usePref.
- Channels passed the tag hook's channel id to the reporter as the error; the tag and priority hooks
  now report themselves, with the real error.
- A contract test keeps every useMutation naming its failure; CLAUDE.md gains the pattern row.
- history.dom.test: the "navigates only once the entries are back" assertion raced an async act's
  macrotask flush (1 in 5 runs); it now asserts from a later popstate listener.
2026-09-13 01:45:28 +02:00
peter b4aea7fa5b fix(ui): dialogs, menus and busy buttons keep the keyboard focus where it belongs
Measured in Chrome before each change:

- A dialog opened from a menu lost its focus: the menu row ran its action
  and closed in one batch, and floating-ui's focus return (a microtask)
  moved the focus to the row BEHIND the confirm dialog's scrim 7 ms after
  it opened, where Enter activated the row. MenuItemList now closes first
  and runs the action a task later; the dialog also captures the row, not
  a dying menu item, as its restore target.
- A side panel opened as a flyout collapsed the moment a dialog opened
  from inside it, unmounting the row the dialog hands the focus back to.
  useHoverFocusWithin holds while the focus is inside an aria-modal dialog.
- ui/Button's loading state set native disabled; Chrome moved the focus of
  the pressed button to <body> and never gave it back. Loading is now
  aria-disabled with a click guard that also cancels implicit submission.
- Escape/Enter in the playlist rail's rename field dropped the focus on
  <body>. The row refocuses from its ref callback when it re-attaches (a
  post-commit focus sticks; the earlier attempt ran before the button
  existed).
- PlayerModal was the one aria-modal shell without the dialog contract:
  it is now named by its title, traps Tab, restores the focus to its
  opener and shares one counted body scroll lock with every dialog.
2026-09-13 01:04:11 +02:00
peter 92c305bab9 fix(nav): a navigation closes every overlay before it pushes
The overlay history stack let a navigation land ABOVE open overlays and
"buried" their entries with a counter. Measured in Chrome: Shift+W over
About navigated under the still-open dialog, the next Back both undid the
navigation and closed About, and the Back after that did nothing; Shift+W
on Home with the player open did nothing at all. The counter could also be
spent by a different overlay closing first, and callers that could not
report whether they pushed were assumed to have.

setPage and openChannel now close every open overlay and push only once
the history is back in sync (one entry per live overlay, no programmatic
back() in flight, no reconcile queued), so nothing is ever buried and the
whole mechanism goes: navigateOverOverlays, closeThenNavigate, buryUnder,
setPage's boolean, and the three test files that pinned them. The palette
closes only itself before running a row, so a theme picked over the player
keeps the player. Shift+W on Home with the player open now closes it
(owner decision 2026-09-09).

The wait is on state, not on "a popstate": the old 250 ms fallback could
run with back()s still in flight. An overlay that refuses to close within
1.5 s drops the command instead of being navigated out from under.

peter 415a6c16f9 release: 0.84.0 — the owner's sixteen-item bug hunt
Sixteen items written from real use: eleven fixed, one measured and closed without a code change
(the micro-stutter is a 23.976 fps film on a 120.0148 Hz display, reproduced identically outside
Siftlode), two parked for a reproducible case, one scoped out to its own sprint. Two of the eleven
were destroying user state — a YouTube video that rewound itself on reopen, and a "clear resume
point" that told Plex nothing about an in-progress item.

Then seven deep-review rounds over the fixes and over each other's fixes: 32 → 24 → 43 → 31 → 22 →
26 → 18 raised. Minor, not patch: item 14 added an admin knob, item 10 a sort control, and items
2/4/5/7 are features.

peter 8c51062e5b fix(api,ui): the demo refusal says why at every site, and the contract guard cannot fail open
Round 6 converted three of four `is_demo` 403s to a structured detail and wrote a docstring saying it
had converted all the sites there are. The account-delete route in `routes/me.py` still answered a
hand-written English sentence, which `notifyActionError` discards in favour of the caller's
translated fallback — so the demo user gets no hint that the demo account is the reason. It is
UI-gated today, so the string is unreachable; what was reachable was the false completeness claim,
which is precisely what stops the next reader from looking. The site is converted, and the list is
now DERIVED from the source: a new test walks `app/` for every `is_demo`-guarded 403, asserts each
raises a structured detail, and fails when the count moves — so this file cannot fall behind the code
the way it just did.

The same round's frontend contract guard was failing open. Its pattern required a bare identifier
before `.detail` and excluded `.detail` used as a last call argument, so `setErr(e.detail)`,
`(e as HttpError).detail`, `String(e.detail)` and four more idiomatic forms were invisible — and
because the file set is compared with `toEqual`, a file the pattern cannot see is simply never listed
and the gate stays green over a fresh copy of the contract. Widened to cover cast receivers, optional
chains and call-argument reads; the pinned set is unchanged, so the narrowing had removed no false
positive. A destructured `detail` stays out of reach (a pattern loose enough for it fires on
react-query's own `const { data: detail }`), and that hole is written into the test rather than
papered over with two innocent files.

Its anti-vacuity guard also did not guard anything: the comment says the glob must have matched
something, but the assertion under it read a sibling file by its own URL, which resolves whether or
not the glob enumerated anything. That only mattered while the pinned list was non-empty — the moment
the deferral sweep lands and it becomes [], the whole file would pass over a glob matching zero
files. The scan size is asserted now.

peter 63bf1bca78 fix(plex): an accepted reorder refetches the detail it just wrote
`commit`'s success handler writes the dragged list into the detail cache — round 6's fix, so a
re-entry inside the 30s staleTime renders the accepted order without a request — but then invalidated
only the LIST key, while the YouTube sibling it cites invalidates both. `next` is the membership of
the render that started the drag, and `reorder_playlist` only touches the rating_keys it is handed,
so it never ratifies that list: anything that landed meanwhile was clobbered by the write with
nothing scheduled to correct it. `commit` sets no busy flag either, so a removal really can complete
while a reorder is in flight, and with staleTime 30s and refetchOnWindowFocus off the phantom row
stayed on screen for as long as the view was mounted — and the next drag persisted an order built
from it.

Round 6's test had to be re-pointed, because it was written in a world with no refetch: its mock
answered the pre-reorder order forever, which a server that just accepted the write cannot do. It now
holds the refetch open instead, so it still pins what round 6 actually fixed — the cache is right
WITHOUT waiting for a request — and would fail if the write were deleted. Both halves are
mutation-checked against each other.

peter c7a377396b fix(ui): a closing dialog leaves the focus to the dialog standing above it
Round 6 widened dialog focus ownership to count focus inside ANY `aria-modal` subtree as ours, so a
dialog and the dialog stacked on it closing together would still hand the focus back. That clause has
no way to tell a layer closing WITH us from one that stays open, so a dialog closing on its own — an
in-flight mutation's `onSuccess`, not a click, since a scrim covers it — under a modal raised above it
pulled the focus onto its own pre-open trigger, behind that scrim, where Enter still activated it.
Three verifiers confirmed the mechanism and two corrected the severity down: it self-heals on the
next Tab, which is why this is a containment violation rather than a broken end state.

`lib/layerStack` cannot refine it. Measured against the real hook: at the instant the lower dialog's
focus cleanup runs, the both-closing case and the sibling-stays-open case give identical readings —
`anyLayerAbove` true, the upper layer topmost — because passive cleanups run parent-first and
`useDialogChrome` is declared before the effect that calls `removeLayer`. Gating on the stack turns
round 6's own test red. What separates them is the DOM: React detaches a deleted subtree before
passive cleanups, so a layer closing with us is already disconnected while one that stays open is
not. Both tests are green, and each was mutation-checked against the other.

Verified in Chrome on localdev: opening the cheat sheet from a sidebar button and closing it restores
that button; with the command palette stacked over the cheat sheet, closing the top one leaves the
focus neither on the background trigger nor on <body>, and closing both returns it to the trigger.

Welcome's Lightbox got the trap and the restore in round 6 but not the layer membership the other
shells have, so its Escape and Tab fired from a raw window listener whatever was on top — the shape
the wizard's comment records being bitten by, unreachable today only by a mount ordering nothing
enforces. It joins the stack. Its comment also read as though the four-shell sweep were finished:
`PlayerModal` is still an `aria-modal` surface with no name, no trap and no restore, which is on
ROADMAP.md now rather than implied to be done.

peter 8036251589 fix(plex): the reclaim window rolls, and a refused finish is not performed through a third route
Two ways round 6's own fixes did not bound what their comments said they bounded.

The reclaim budget's window anchor was written only where the window RESET, so it marked the window's
start rather than the last loss — a tumbling window, not the rolling one the constant is named for.
Any loss cadence slower than half the window satisfied the reset on every second loss, so the budget
never reached its bound: measured over 200 loss cycles, 61/70/90/119s apart all gave 200 reclaims and
never an error, while 5s and 30s apart correctly gave two and then the honest answer. The failing
band is exactly the case the ERROR handler names — a transcode that falls behind realtime — and both
committed tests spaced their losses 0s and 10min apart, i.e. outside it. The anchor now moves with
every loss.

And `finish`'s refusal handler lowered the play-through latch, which is the only gate on the 10s
interval, the page-hide beacon and `settle`. All three post `absRef`, which on the play-to-the-end
path IS the end of the media, and the backend reads a position within `_FINISH_MARGIN_S` of the
duration as a finish — so within ten seconds of the toast saying the mark had failed, the item was
marked watched, its position cleared and a scrobble sent to Plex. Round 6 closed the explicit
rollback write and left the other three open; the test it added set `upNext: false`, which tears the
effect down before any of them can fire. The refusal now takes back the CLAIM rather than the latch:
a second flag stops `settle` re-asserting watched, and playing again clears both.

`FINISH_MARGIN_S` duplicated the backend's constant in a second language with nothing relating them,
and its comment had the asymmetry backwards — if the BACKEND's margin grows, this guard starts
admitting a rollback the backend reads as a finish, i.e. re-opens the defect above. Pinned by a
contract test that reads the Python, and the comment corrected.

peter 71d7646bf1 fix(plex): a name this session cannot write fails at once, and the layout has one spelling
Round 6 turned `artifact_may_arrive` into a positive rule, but keyed it to the HLS vocabulary in
general rather than to what THIS session produces: the playlist regex accepted master/index/stream_*
for every session and the `seq == 0` branch accepted any variant token unconditionally. The two argv
branches are disjoint — a single-audio session is given `seg_%d.ts` + `index.m3u8` and no `%v` at
all, so `master.m3u8`, `stream_*.m3u8` and every `seg_<variant>_<n>.ts` are names it can never write,
and vice versa — so each of those was read as "an HLS name, so wait and see" and held a threadpool
worker, plus its pooled DB connection, for the full timeout. That is verbatim the round-5 outage the
route's own comment claims it prevents.

Measured through the real route against a live single-audio session, before: master.m3u8 404 after
30.0s, stream_q7z.m3u8 404 after 30.0s, seg_a0_0.ts / seg_zzzz_0.ts / seg_0_0.ts 404 after 20.1s
each. After, on the running localdev API: 404 in 44-316ms for all of them, while index.m3u8,
seg_0.ts and seg_1.ts still answer 200 — nothing is over-refused.

The session now carries the rendition names its ffmpeg was told to write, and `entry` is derived from
them instead of passed. And "one place" now means the argv BUILDS its patterns from the same
functions the parser reads back (`segment_name("%d", "%v")`, `variant_playlist_name("%v")`): the
layout was still spelled out independently in six places, with `_VIDEO_VARIANT` read by no consumer,
which is the drift that caused round 6's HIGH. A test asserts the argv's own patterns are what those
functions produce, and that every name they expand to is one the guard accepts.

The load-bearing MEASURED comment cited ffmpeg 8.1.1 — the Windows host's. The binary that writes
these files is the API container's 7.1.5; re-measured there, the conclusion holds.
