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.
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
The locale JSON's importer did not accept HMR, so the update climbed to
main.tsx, whose re-run called createRoot on the live container again; the two
roots tore each other's DOM down ('removeChild ... not a child' by the dozen),
each a fatal toast evicting an old notification. Dev only.
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.
E5 S6 frontend half.
Language threading (?lang=hu serves the HU overlay; en is the default):
- api/plex.ts: `lang` on plexLibrary / plexFacets / plexItem / plexShow (only
sent for hu, so EN URLs stay byte-stable); PlexItemDetail gains `rating`.
- queryKeys: plexItem / plexShow take an optional trailing lang so a switch caches
HU/EN separately; the ...rest keys (library/facets) already carry it. Prefix
invalidations (qk.plexShow(id) / qk.plexItem(id)) still match either.
- i18n: plexLang() collapses the UI language to en|hu for non-component code.
- PlexBrowse / PlexSidebar: thread lang into the grid, facets, item and show
queries (useTranslation re-renders on switch → the key changes → refetch).
- plexPlayerHooks: the optimistic resume setQueryData now keys by plexLang() so
it still lands on the language-keyed detail query.
- Clear the genre-filter selection on a language switch — genre chips are
language-specific strings, so a stale one silently empties the grid.
IMDb-only rating badge (folded-in S5b review #5):
- PlexInfo.tsx shows the IMDb badge + imdb.com link only when imdb_rating is
present; otherwise it renders the Plex audience `rating` (no IMDb link/branding),
so a non-IMDb score is never mislabelled. ratingMin filter keys off whichever
score is shown.
Tests: i18n parity.test.ts (en/hu key sets identical per namespace — currently
green, no drift). FE gate green: tsc / knip / lint clean, 213 vitest tests pass.
Enable noUncheckedIndexedAccess and fix all 98 call sites it surfaced across 18
files. Every fix is behaviour-preserving — the flag flagged reads TypeScript
couldn't prove in-bounds, all of which were already guarded by a length/index check,
a findIndex result, or a non-empty invariant:
- read-once so a ternary's narrowing sticks (Feed overrides, linkify mention);
- non-null assertion AFTER an existing guard (PlayerModal/VideoEditor queue+cut-list
indexing, modules step, useUndoable stacks) with a comment stating the invariant;
- nullish fallback where undefined is a real possibility (GlassTuner slider ?? def,
ConfigPanel active group ?? [], descriptionLinks id ?? null);
- optional chaining where the entry genuinely can be absent (PlexBrowse IO entry);
- a non-empty tuple type for the RELATIVE_UNITS constant (encodes "always has [0]").
The single highest-leverage fix: PlayerModal's `active` became `queue?.[index] ??
video` (always Video), clearing 34 of the 45 errors in that file at once. Verified:
tsc/eslint/prettier clean, 56 vitest + 34 pytest + 17/17 e2e green (the e2e suite
exercises the feed/player/channel components touched here).
Only English and Hungarian remain. Drops the de locale files, the LANGUAGES
entry, the Google-locale mapping in auth, and the German welcome-message
template. A legacy "de" preference falls back to English gracefully. Content-
language detection and subtitle languages are untouched (media, not UI).
Machine-baseline harvest (ruff + knip), all tsc/parse-green, no runtime change:
- backend: remove 3 unused imports (channels/playlists/youtube) via ruff; drop the
unused `job` binding in unshare_download (keep the _own_job ownership guard call).
- frontend: remove `export` from 23 internally-used-only symbols (knip "unused
exports") to shrink the public surface; delete 2 genuinely-dead declarations
(PlexBrowseResult — leftover from the removed /browse route; WIDGET_TITLES —
hardcoded English titles superseded by i18n).
Held back for a decision (unused here = possibly-unwired, NOT dead — flagged, not
removed): e2ee.lock()/clearDevice() (security primitives never wired to logout / a
"forget device" feature) and loadDefaultViewFilters (App reimplements it inline — a
DRY issue). See siftlode-ops/CODE-HYGIENE.md.
- errorDialog + hints now use createStore (drop their bespoke listener arrays).
- theme/sidebarLayout/notifications/App filters/Playlists plSort use readMerged/
readJSON/writeJSON instead of inline try/JSON.parse/catch.
- Stats, SettingsPanel and App's channel filter/view tabs use usePersistedState
(the 3 sites that reinvented usePersistedTab inline).
- Every siftlode.* key now sourced from the LS registry (no scattered literals).
Set up react-i18next with locale files auto-loaded per area (Vite glob), a compact
LanguageSwitcher, and language as a server-persisted preference (preferences.language)
mirrored to localStorage. On first login the default UI language is guessed from the
Google-reported locale (hu/en/de, else English). vite-env.d.ts types the build-time env.
