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.
- In-place editors (Playlists heading + rail rename, Plex collection + playlist rename, PriorityStepper,
Scheduler interval): a real Enter closed the editor, returned the focus to the trigger, and the same
keystroke's activation pressed that trigger again - re-opening the editor, or in the rail selecting
the renamed playlist. useReturnFocus.arm(e) now cancels the key's default (type-enforced); the rail and
Scheduler editors do the same. The earlier tests dispatched a synthetic keydown, which has no default.
- Plex playlist rename: an unchanged or empty title closes with no write, as the collection rename does.
- Switch: a 36x24 box around the track (the 24 floor), 44 on a coarse pointer; `label` is required, and
the Plex two-way-sync switch had no name.
- z-index: numeric z-10/z-20 and a literal 40 moved onto the named layer scale; a lint rule + contract.
- The /watch file card's Download is the filled primary: the page's one action.
- Stale comments: the 1024x768 floor, the retired glass tuner.
- 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 viewport contract has two ends, and only the floor was enforced. An auto-fill grid
answers "more room" with more columns, never bigger ones, so it settles just above its
minimum column at any width: measured at 3440px, the feed laid out 11 columns of 264px.
A feed diluted across an ultrawide fails the contract as surely as a broken one at the
floor.
Multi-column feed views now carry a `maxCols`; past it the leftover width flows into
the items. At 3440: cards 11x264 -> 8x370, cardsSmall 15 -> 11x264 (still visibly the
dense card, and never as wide as cards gets), tiles 7 -> 6x498. Each cap is set so the
item tops out near 1.5x its own minCol, which is what keeps a view recognisably itself.
A cap can only bind ABOVE the width at which that many columns already fit, so it is a
pure ultrawide affordance — 1024, 1920 and 2560 lay out exactly as before. Verified in
the browser at all three widths and across all five views.
The Channels grid needs no cap: the page's own 96rem --content-mw already bounds it.
Also renames VirtualGrid's `maxCol` to `colMaxWidth`. It was never a column count — it
is the single-column reading-width cap — and `maxCol`/`maxCols` one letter apart is the
kind of drift that has bitten this repo before.
The column maths moves to ui/gridColumns.ts as a pure function so both ends of the
contract are unit-testable without a layout engine; the tests assert the cap's numbers,
that it never binds at the floor, and that the dense card cannot grow into the standard
one.
Prettier 3 (pinned), printWidth 100, double quotes — chosen to match the existing
hand-formatting and minimise reflow. This commit is ONLY the mechanical format pass
(`prettier --write`) plus the config/ignore/scripts, isolated so it never pollutes a
feature diff. Verified behaviour-neutral: typecheck, eslint (0 errors), and vitest
all green before and after. See .git-blame-ignore-revs — `git blame` skips this sha.
Three from UAT: the row's cap goes 1280 -> 1472 (+15%), since with the
rail and filters hidden there was a lot of page left over and the fixed
columns mean the extra width can only go to the title; the views column
drops the word and keeps it in the tooltip (a table doesn't repeat its
unit every line), taking that column 144 -> 64; and the view switcher
names the current mode where the toolbar has room, falling back to the
icon alone below xl. Title: 431 -> 511 at 1440, 706 at 1900.
The bare row becomes a single line — title truncating into the space
left, then channel, badges, meta and the actions each holding a fixed
column — and it drops the 896px reading cap, since with the actions
right-aligned there is no gap for the extra width to stretch. The
actions get a reserved slot: the reset button only exists for videos
with watch state, so without one the meta sat 32px further right on
some rows than others.
Rows and tiles get a permanent container instead of a hover-only fill.
They were transparent at rest and painted an opaque bg on hover, so
running the pointer down the list kept covering and re-revealing the
ambient backdrop — which reads as the background flickering.
Card actions now sit on the bottom edge rather than wherever the title
ends, and the small thumbnails carry icon-only controls: the labelled
Continue / Restart are sized for a card's image and were clipped at
176px.
Dropping Thumb dropped everything it draws ON the image — duration, the
live/stream badges, the saved marker and the resume bar. Those are
metadata, not decoration, so they move into the meta line and the bar
onto the row. Splits the spec's overloaded compact flag into thumb/dense,
which meant one thing per family and nothing on its own.
Tiles answer the row view's wasted space: the actions move under the meta
into vertical slack the thumbnail already reserves, which frees ~168px of
width, so the block survives in a narrow column and the list can go
multi-column. Rows stay single-column on purpose — reading down one edge
is why that view exists.
The column count now comes from a per-view minimum width, so every
multi-column view reflows on the mechanism the card grid already used.
Arrows/Home/End move a roving focus and Escape hands focus back to the
trigger — the menu unmounts under the focused item, which stranded focus
on <body>. Outside-click deliberately does not refocus: that would steal
focus from whatever was just clicked.
The view mode moves out of Settings into a switcher next to sort, on the
feed and channel pages alike. It leaves the Settings prefs draft for its
own eager save: a toolbar click must not mark that page dirty and trip
its leave-page guard.
lib/feedView.ts owns the vocabulary and maps the old grid/list prefs
forward on read, so nobody's saved choice is lost.
