A bare <img> sent a Referer that Google's image CDNs refuse and had no retry and no fallback, so a
Home shelf card showed the browser's broken-image mark. ui/RemoteImage gathers what Avatar, the
channel banner and the download rows had each hand-rolled: no Referer, up to three retries past the
browser's negative cache, the caller's fallback (by default the card's empty frame) instead of the
broken mark, the failure remembered by URL. Every picture now goes through it; a lint rule refuses
a bare <img>.
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.
The hero's grid row is as tall as the crew column beside the text, and the poster, a flex child,
stretched to it: a 2:3 picture drawn ~175x590 and cropped. It now aligns to the top, and a wide hero
gives the movie and show poster a bigger rung (w-56). The crew, the hero's tallest part, shows its
first 6 names and a 'Show N more' toggle; a list of 8 or fewer shows whole.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- ui/Input, Textarea, InnerInput + fieldClass (A4): the >= 3:1 edge, a 2px accent
focus edge, the danger edge for invalid, md/sm/xs/heading rungs, 1rem and 44 on touch
- ui/SelectTrigger (A5): SortControl, FilterSelect, the view switcher and the date
filter on one trigger, a pill in a toolbar, r8 in a form
- ui/NativeControls (A6): Checkbox, CheckRow, Slider, ColorInput
- every raw input swept (~100 sites); inputCls retired; local/input-primitive
- useReturnFocus: an in-place editor hands the focus back to its trigger on
Enter/Escape (the playlist and Plex title renames, the priority number);
the Plex playlist rename gains Escape and an accessible name
- back to top: a round 48 FAB (owner decision); DESIGN.md A2 and the log
Button is rebuilt to A1/B1/B3: explicit heights (xs 24 / sm 28 / md 32, lg 40 for a hero CTA), r8 (a
pill on media), state layers instead of opacity and bg-card hovers, a `pressed` toggle, `overlay`,
`media` and `link-muted` variants. The icon-only sizes move to the new IconButton (28 / 32, 48 only for
the Play on a picture; a required label). Pressable (a card, row or tile that is the control) and
DragHandle join them. The state-* utilities now stand down on a disabled, busy or pressed control, held
by theme.contract.test.ts.
Swept onto them: the Button icon-size callers and 16 files (Plex playlist, Plex detail, the YT player
modal chrome, Welcome, Plex and video cards with AddToPlaylist and DownloadButton, the video editor,
Feed, personal views, Scheduler, Users, the nav rail, Plex detail parts, Settings): 268 raw buttons are
153. Fixed on the way: FocusSafeButton overwrote a caller's aria-disabled (the "unavailable, here is
why" state; adminInvites caught it), a season toggle and a Plex settings switch had no name/state, and
the video card's overlay follows the C5 card (Resume pill, From the start pill, a round Play).
The lime accent was the loudest of the four (OKLCH L 0.85, C 0.21) and read as neon; the owner chose the
moss variant at Midnight's lightness with near-neutral greys, and the Matrix backdrops follow it. Fixed
white/black parts on a solid accent fill (two switch knobs, three play buttons, the Up next pill) now use
--accent-fg, and theme.contract.test.ts refuses a fixed white or black next to a solid bg-accent.
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.
