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.
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.
1A ChannelPage "Full history" button no longer wraps (whitespace-nowrap).
1B Extract the manager's press-and-hold priority stepper into a shared
PriorityStepper and add it to the channel detail header (subscribed, non-demo);
backend channel_detail now returns the per-subscription `priority`.
2 Unify YouTube + Plex media cards onto one look/behaviour: drop the whole-card
hover LIFT (VideoCard) — which also fixes the clipped-top bug — and instead the
inner thumbnail/poster ZOOMS on hover (both); give the flat Plex posters the same
glass-card 3D depth + accent hover border as the feed cards (shadow-md is a
transparent no-op here, so it's glass-card that provides the depth); clamp Plex
card titles to a fixed 2-line height so 1- vs 2-line titles align.
3 Nav rail is now always a slim icon-only column, flush to the left edge; each icon
reveals a floating name label on hover (Tooltip gains `always` + `openDelay`, and
a right side). Removed the pin/unpin toggle, the expand-on-hover mode and the
navCollapsed pref plumbing.
4 Scope the side-panel peek-open HOVER to the tab handle + the card (not the whole
full-height slot next to the rail), so approaching the nav no longer pops the
filter open; focus stays container-wide. useHoverFocusWithin gains a hover-out
grace period + split hover/focus handler groups.
5 Plex art backdrop fills the whole viewport (a fixed inset-0 layer behind the
transparent app) instead of only the inset <main> box.
6 Plex season binge continues across seasons: the season view's play queue now
spans the whole show (allKeys), so a season's last episode rolls into the next
season's first (seasonKeys stays for "add season to playlist").
7 When a Plex video/episode ends with nothing queued next, the player returns to
the previous page (onEnded → onClose) instead of stranding a black screen.
The rail's hover/focus-to-peek logic — including the portal-proof focus tracking
(React-tree onFocus/onBlur plus a safety net for portals that unmount while
focused) — is about to be needed verbatim by the side panels. Lift it to
useHoverFocusWithin now that a second consumer exists. No behaviour change.
