The demo account — one shared user that whitelisted emails entered from
the login page, reset on a schedule — goes end to end (owner decision,
E34): demo.py and the reset job, users.is_demo and demo_whitelist
(migration 0098 deletes the demo user, its audit rows, the reset job's
override and notices, then drops the column and table; the downgrade
restores the empty schema), the /auth/demo entry, the admin whitelist and
reset, the Demo tab, the banner, the login page's "Try the demo", and
every is_demo branch in routes, userscope, scheduler and the UI.
require_human only ever refused the demo account, so its 87 uses become
current_user (owner-approved); require_write_scope keeps its own check.
The login page's "or" divider now shows only beside the Google button:
without the demo entry under it, an instance without Google would have
said "or" to nothing.
A contract test (removedFeatures) fails on the word anywhere in the
backend, frontend, e2e or scripts — seen red on a planted hit. Size
ceilings tightened for the modules that shrank; admin.py is back under
the limit.
- 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.
- Nav rail page rows are real links (/?page=<id>): a middle-click or
Ctrl-click opens the page in a new tab; a plain click stays in-app.
- A fresh channel page shows the unwatched videos; a picked watch state
is a remembered preference (channelShow).
- Users: the role, suspend and delete move into the row's one menu
(the "…", right-click, Shift+F10); locked ones keep their reason.
- Audit log: back-to-back successful runs of one job fold into one row
that opens to the earlier ones; a failed run reads in the danger colour.
- DESIGN.md decision log: the E31 picks.
- The browser tab names the place and the object: PageHeading reports the
view's own title (lib/documentTitle), so a channel, playlist or any Plex
view reads "<object> · <module> · Siftlode" however it was opened; the
Feed is named too; a season adds its show (tabTitle).
- The channel page's tab + action row wraps and lets the tag lane fold into
"+N": at 1024 it ran past the edge and the page scrolled sideways.
- The YouTube player card's width is capped from the window height less the
chrome measured under the video: at 133% zoom (685px) it cut its channel row.
- Plex certificate words (Not Rated, Approved, Passed) are named through the
vocabulary on the info badge, show page, collection, filter and chips.
- DESIGN.md: the zoom target is 125% and 133%, not 200% (decision log).
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
- lib/vocab + the `vocab` locale area: TMDB crew jobs and departments, auto-tags (D1 A: the data
stays English, the catalog is named at its one source, useTags), built-in download profiles,
YouTube topics; held key-for-key to the backend's own lists by backendIds.contract.
- Countries by ISO code: TMDB parse stores {code, name}; rows stored before are coded from TMDB's
own country list in one request (run_enrich); Intl names them, historic codes (YU, SU, XI…)
from the catalog.
- Player tracks named from the language tag, forced/SDH flags and codec tail, not Plex's
server-language displayTitle; no invented "Audio N" on the server.
- Download lifecycle notices (shared / expiring / expired / evicted) named from data; the share
notice carries the title.
- Scheduler: the job result rides along as data and is named per key (dashboard + run notice).
- Invite status named; a render crash's notice no longer shows the engine's English message.
- Fix: YouTube links …/wiki/Humour, the tagger looked for "Humor" — Comedy never came from a topic.
Each of the four sites kept its own invalidation list and each missed something (the channel menu's
unsubscribe left the feed showing the channel's videos; the channel page's left the counts stale).
lib/subscriptionCache invalidateSubscription is the one set; a contract test holds every call site
to it.
The rail was a row of aria-pressed toggles: every tab a Tab stop, no arrows,
nothing tying a tab to its content. tablist/tab/aria-selected, one Tab stop,
arrows on either axis, Home/End, and useTabPanel for aria-controls/labelledby.
The owner's picks (all the recommended options) become DESIGN.md's Copy
chapter and a sweep of both languages (742 values, no key drift):
- One name per feature: the rail's label, which may shorten it (Alerts
-> Notifications, Fiókok -> Felhasználók, Download Center -> Downloads,
Channel manager -> Channels); one "sync from YouTube" verb.
- Four verbs, four meanings (Delete / Remove / Dismiss / Discard, and
their Hungarian pairs), checked against what each action does.
- Sentence case, the app's places capitalised; "…" on a command that
asks first (a popover or form title got its own key without it);
one-sentence messages without a stop or a tick, "Couldn't …"; curly
quotes.
- Dates only from lib/format.ts, in the UI language: formatDateTime
names the month and stops at the minute (it printed "9/27/2026,
8:30:14 AM"), formatDateTimeSec for the log, the audit and the
recorder; ui/RelativeTime pairs "3d ago" with the exact minute on
hover. local/date-format refuses toLocale*String and Intl date
formatters elsewhere.
- Units from Intl, short (formatUnit): runtimes, totals, the Scheduler
countdown, the stats range, the player's tap skip. "2h 13m" was
English in both languages.
- src/i18n/copyRule.test.ts holds the machine-readable part (quotes,
"...", ticks, bare unit letters).
Google's image CDN refuses a banner request that carries a Referer from our origin - every
time, not only under load (measured: 6/6 refused with it, 8/8 served without). The banner
<img> now sends none, as ui/Avatar does for the same CDN; the comments that blamed a
transient burst throttle are corrected.
The banner is retried on error; each failed attempt showed the browser's
broken-image glyph for as long as the retry waited. The <img> now stays
invisible until its source has actually loaded.
- PageShell names the page with a visually hidden h1; a view with its own title renders it as
PageHeading and the hidden one steps aside (contract: no hand <h1> inside the shell).
- Section captions are SectionLabel headings (h2, h3 in a dialog), ui/form Section included.
- "Skip to content" is the first Tab stop and focuses the scroller's <main>.
- Below 600px of height the band's filter row folds into "Filters · n" (Feed, Plex, server log),
the same row shown in place.
- The band holds controls only: Downloads and Notifications lose their title cards, the Config and
channel-discovery intros scroll with the content, the Stats tabs and the audit pager join the band,
and the server log's toolbar sticks with the fade under it.
- 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.
The second half of the button sweep: the remaining hand-rolled buttons in
feature components, the design lab and the components/ui composites now
stand on Button, IconButton, Pressable, Chip or DragHandle.
- Chip + DismissibleChip (filter / token / tag / suggest / ghost, 24px
floor, 44 on touch) replace five chip geometries; FilterChipGroup
renders Chips; overflow lanes measure a mirror painted by chipClass.
- The Plex control row is IconButton's player rung (36, 20px glyph,
round, overlay; 44 on touch); the YT modal bar is on the sm rung with
pressed cycle toggles and names that survive a folded label.
- New variants: IconButton ghost-accent, danger-soft; Button warn on a
new state-warn utility. The .btn-{tone} recipes and btnCls are gone.
- Fixed on the way: membership rows (collection editor, Plex playlist
add) announce checked/mixed; a one-letter tag chip was 21px wide;
descriptionLinks moved out of lib/ (it renders components).
- local/button-primitive: a raw <button>/<FocusSafeButton> outside the
control-primitive files is a lint error (contract-tested, seen red).
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).
Closes the burn-down. Hook suppressions 113 -> 34, `exhaustive-deps` 45 -> 2 (the target was
<10), and every one of the 34 survivors is an inline directive NAMING the invariant it
protects. The suppressions file is deleted, because a bulk file hides the next violation
instead of answering it — and it cannot hold a warning-level rule at all.
The sprint plan's three verdicts missed the answer that turned out to be the most common one:
adjust the state DURING RENDER. React re-runs the component and discards that pass rather than
committing it, so the stale frame an effect-based reset paints does not exist. Applied to the
Plex player's up-next card, the playlist view reset, the feed's optimistic overrides, the
channel banner's retry count, the download center's tab guard, the Plex search highlight, the
comfort-pin latch, Welcome's per-view outcome and the card pager's page clamp. It is legal only
for a component's own state — PlexBrowse's language commit resets PlexProvider's filters, so
that one stays an effect and says why.
Mirrors of a prop or query became derived values or `draft ?? server`:
- `downloadRow` had ui/Avatar's defect exactly — a boolean "poster failed" that an effect reset,
in rows recycled down a virtualized list, so one job's missing poster painted over the next
one's for a frame. Keyed by URL now.
- Scheduler's two number editors held a mirror an effect re-synced, on a page that POLLS — the
shape a poll can overwrite mid-edit. A draft while editing, the server's value otherwise; six
tests where there were none, the one behavioural change (the save button stops being dirty at
commit rather than at the echo) mutation-checked.
- SetupWizard's "no token" and WatchPage's "gone" are facts about the URL, so they are seeded and
derived rather than pushed into state by an effect that had to commit first.
Elsewhere: PlexInfo's rating chip was a component declared during render — a new component type
every render, so React remounted the subtree and dropped the focus on its filter button. Hoisted.
Feed's undo action and PlexPlayer's session reclaim both re-entered their own useCallback, which
the checker reads as a forward reference; both go through the ref idiom this file already uses.
BootGate's dep list was load-bearing for correctness — a re-run meant `location.reload()` — so
the "already adopted THIS identity" comparison now enforces it in code, with a test that fails
without it (the existing reload tests all install their spy too late to catch it).
One correction to the batch before this: keying ChatThread's and Messages' decrypt passes on
`q.data` instead of `q.dataUpdatedAt` was wrong. react-query's structural sharing makes it safe
in production, but the component must not melt down when something hands back a fresh object per
render — and Messages.keyboard.dom.test does exactly that, so the effect span the suite. Both are
back on the fetch as the trigger with the payload behind a ref, which is honest AND loop-proof;
the replaced comment had warned about precisely this.
CLAUDE.md gains four canonical-patterns rows for the above, and its "React 18" line is now true.
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.
- PriorityStepper labelled itself with channels.row.* and told every caller
it orders the Feed; Combobox said plex.loading / plex.filter.moreRefine /
sidebar.match on the feed sidebar. The generic strings moved to common.*,
and what a priority MEANS arrives as the stepper's `hint` prop.
uiI18n.contract.test.ts pins components/ui/ to the platform namespaces —
the import boundary could never see an i18n key.
- 32 px-frozen box utilities (w-[150px], max-w-[1600px], left-[18px], …)
became spacing-scale steps (w-37.5, max-w-400, left-4.5): identical at the
default text size, and now they grow with the Settings slider instead of
clipping or re-wrapping their own labels. An eslint rule refuses the px
form beside the older text-[Npx] one, pinned by pxBox.contract.test.ts;
measured in the browser that every new step is generated at its old px.
- chipLane's import-strip regex ran past a side-effect import into the next
statement's `from`, hiding a lane between them; it now stops at the
import's own `;`.
The 43 react-refresh/only-export-components warnings the gate let through meant an edit to a
provider (or AnchoredPopover, Toaster, plexDetailUi, …) could not be hot-swapped: Fast Refresh
reloads a module that also exports hooks or helpers.
- Each provider's contexts, the types its hooks return and the hooks themselves live in a sibling
context module (navigationContext.ts, channelsContext.ts, …); the provider file keeps the
component. loadAccountFilters moved next to the feed filters' defaults (feedFiltersInit.ts),
following navigationInit/playlistsInit.
- Helpers that sat in component files have their own modules: welcomeMode, downloadTitle,
plexPlayable, channelSync, ui/anchoredPopoverHooks, ui/pageToolbarSlot, ui/pagerContent,
ui/toastLevels, ui/overlayOrder, ui/tableAlign, lib/plexDetail; the cells of the channel columns
and the registry's page wrappers are components files of their own (channelCells, modulePages).
- usePersistedTab, an alias of useAccountPersistedState, is gone; its callers use the original.
npm run lint is now eslint --max-warnings 0, so a warning fails the gate like an error does.
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.
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.
`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.
"Get full history" on a channel page left the list on the cards the channel already had. The
count above it climbed into the thousands, the grid did not move, and only a browser F5 brought
the rest in.
The mechanism: the backfill runs in a BackgroundTask, so the PATCH that starts it returns before
a single row is written — and the mutation invalidates `qk.feed()` on that RESPONSE, which just
refetches the OLD catalogue. Nothing afterwards refetches it: the feed's infinite query has no
interval, and the app-wide defaults are `staleTime: 30s` + `refetchOnWindowFocus: false`. The job
emits no event either (the realtime layer only carries messages today), so the channel detail's
4s live poll is the only thing in the app that sees the job progress — and it refreshed only
`qk.channel`.
So the poll now drives the grid too: on a tick where the stored count moved (or the backfill
finished), it invalidates `qk.feed()` and the `qk.feedSummary()` behind the count pill. The window
is the poll's own (`deep_requested && !backfill_done` on the previous reading), so a detail
refetch caused by some other mutation — each of which invalidates the feed itself — cannot come
through here twice.
Measured on localdev against the real account, same instrument, `document.visibilityState`
forced visible (the poll deliberately pauses on a hidden tab, and a headless pane reads hidden —
without that the first measurement was about the harness, not the fix):
before — CASCADA 19 -> 176 stored: the header updated live to "162 normal", the grid and its
count pill sat on "5 items" for 50s.
after — fern 54 -> 139 stored: "54 items" -> "139 items" by ~12s, no reload.
6 vitest, mutation-checked against six mutations (no invalidation at all; grid only, count pill
forgotten; predicate ignored; no channel-identity guard; completion with an unchanged count
dropped; poll-window guard dropped) — each one red on exactly the test that names it.
Second sweep, 34 more sites: NotificationsPanel (14 -- eight identical
accent text links, three ghost icon buttons, two ghost text actions),
Welcome's five auth links, KeyGate, Messages, NavSidebar, ChatThread,
ShareDialog, ChannelPage, PlexPlaylistView, PlexPlaylistAdd,
PlexCollectionEditor and plexViews.
Moves the font-weight out of Button's BASE and into each variant, so the
`link` variant can be semibold (which is what every text link in this app
looks like) while the action variants stay medium, and no element can end
up with two font-* utilities.
Welcome is the one signed-out surface this session cannot see, so only
its byte-identical link swaps were taken; its primary submit and the
bg-card button family are left for a pass that can UAT the screen.
3x tsc, eslint, knip, prettier, 689 vitest green; UAT on Notifications,
Messages and the nav rail, clean console in a fresh tab.
The app HAS a platform layer -- AnchoredPopover (22 importers, with
arrows/typeahead/Escape/anchor-flip), QueryState (21), Modal (17),
PageShell, DataTable, Tabs, Tooltip and ~26 more -- but it sat flat among
~160 feature components with nothing marking it as one. Several of those
files describe themselves as 'the one place' or 'canonical' and were
still bypassed by hand-rolled markup, because a layer nobody can see is a
layer nobody uses; three separate inventory passes of this codebase
misread it the same way.
Moves the 33 domain-free modules into components/ui/, rewrites the
imports in 89 files, and makes the boundary a lint rule rather than a
convention: inside ui/ a one-level-up import (a feature component) and
any lib/api slice are errors. The rule was verified to fire on both and
to leave generic lib/ helpers alone. README.md states which side of the
line a component belongs on and why.
No behaviour change: 3x tsc, eslint, knip, prettier and 687 vitest tests
all green; no backend file touched.
Introduce frontend/src/components/ui/Button.tsx — the one action-button primitive
(variants primary|danger|outline|ghost|glass|danger-outline; sizes xs|sm|md|lg|icon;
icon/iconOnly/label/loading/fullWidth/forwardRef). No focus-visible (already centralized
in index.css @layer base). Migrate the cleanest proof sites off btnCls, and flip the
channel Subscribe button to the outline variant so it matches Full history (the user's ask).
Item 6 — the tag add-trigger now LEADS the chip row (a stable left anchor)
instead of trailing it, so on the detail page (bounded=false) adding chips
grows the row to its right and the '+'/its editor popover no longer drift.
Compact icon in the width-bounded manager cell; a labelled '＋ Tag' pill
where there's free width (the detail header).
Item 7 — surface the per-subscription 'hidden' flag on the detail GET
(channel_detail was omitting it) and add an Eye/EyeOff hide/unhide toggle
next to Block on the channel page, mirroring the manager. FE ChannelDetail
gains 'hidden'; new channel.* i18n keys (HU+EN).
Tests: +3 backend (channel_detail surfaces hidden, both states + unsubscribed
default). Gate green: backend pytest 471, FE vitest 498.
Redesign the shared PriorityStepper (channel manager cell + detail header)
from a value-plus-stacked-arrows control into a horizontal [−] value [＋]
segmented stepper. The value now sits centred between the buttons and opens
an inline editor in a FIXED-width slot, so click-to-type no longer "pops"
the control wider (the old absolutely-positioned overlay grew w-6 → w-14).
One `size` prop drives the two surfaces: `sm` draws its own bordered pill
for the standalone table cell; `md` drops the outer border and keeps only
the segment dividers, blending into the detail header's lozenge instead of
double-bordering it. Hold-to-repeat, negatives, and the debounced-flush
persistence hook are unchanged.
The manager priority column widens 3.5rem → 5.5rem to fit the horizontal
control under fixed table layout.
Tests: 7 new DOM tests for the stepper interaction contract.
The tag 'Match: Any/All' toggle was a single GLOBAL setting that only ever
affected topics, shown as its own row under the Topic widget. Make it
per-category — language, topic, and 'your tags' each get their own independent
any/all — and move it into each filter combobox's popover footer (like
SortControl's direction segment), reclaiming the standalone Match row.
Backend: the feed query already groups selected tags by category; replace the
single tag_mode with per-category tag_mode_language/topic/other params and apply
the conjunctive (HAVING all) branch per category. Mirrored across filtered_query,
feed_summary.passes(), and the /facets drill-down exclusion (kept in lockstep;
equivalence test updated to tag_mode_topic). No schema change.
Frontend: FeedFilters.tagMode -> tagModes {language,topic,other} (pure leaf
lib/api/tagModes with a coerceTagModes migration for the legacy global value);
serialized to the API and the shareable URL per category (legacy ?tagmode=and
still resolves into the topic slot); saved-view blobs migrate on read. Combobox
gains an optional matchMode/onMatchModeChange footer segment, shown once 2+
values are picked; the three tag comboboxes wire it to their category.
Verified: backend feed tests green (12, incl. the count/facets equivalence net);

tagmode_topic=and to the URL, and the request carries tag_mode_topic=and (200).

The user-triggered "get full history" (backfill_channel_now) capped at
max_pages=60 = 3000 videos. A channel just over that (BBC Earth: 3403
uploads = 69 pages) stopped one page short, so its tail dribbled in over
the scheduler's paced 10-minute ticks (250 videos/tick) and the button
spinner looked stuck for ~18 minutes with no visible progress.
- Raise the immediate cap to max_pages=400 (20 000 videos) so any
realistic channel completes in the single background run.
- Make a high cap safe: backfill_channel_deep now re-checks the shared
quota before each page and yields at the backfill reserve (previously
quota was checked once by the caller before the whole run), and commits
the advanced cursor after every page so a restart resumes instead of
re-fetching — and re-charging quota for — pages already stored.
- Channel page: while loading, the button shows the live stored/total
count and a tooltip explaining the tail finishes in the background, so a
very large channel's paced remainder reads as progress, not a hang.
Adds deep-backfill paging tests (per-page cursor commit + resume, and the
per-page quota yield).
- Make the immediate-backfill guard SYMMETRIC: run_deep_backfill now also
registers the channel it pages in _backfill_in_progress, so it and
backfill_channel_now mutually exclude per-channel and never advance the
same cursor concurrently (whichever started first). The interactive cap
moves to a separate _immediate_running counter so the scheduler's channels
don't false-trip it.
- Attribute the immediate backfill's spend: wrap it in
quota.attribute(user_id, VIDEOS_BACKFILL_FULL) (route passes user.id), so
it shows under the user's full-backfill action, not the OTHER/system bucket.
- Tests: the update_channel->background-task wiring + the demo guard
(scheduled for a real user, NOT for demo); distinct N/S/L counts (2 short
+ 1 live) so a short/live swap fails; extracted channelDetailPollMs with a
pure unit test of the poll-or-stop predicate.
- a11y: role="img" on the fully-synced charm so screen readers announce it.
- list_channels no longer computes the Normal/Shorts/Live aggregation the
frontend stopped reading when R14 dropped the N/S/L table column; the dead
ManagedChannel.count_* fields are gone too.
- Immediate "get full history" backfill now coordinates with the paced
scheduler via a small in-flight set: capped at 2 concurrent + per-channel
dedup, and run_deep_backfill skips a channel an immediate backfill owns —
killing the cursor race and bounding the quota-drain burst, without losing
the speed win.
- Add test_channel_backfill.py: the channelDetail N/S/L counts + the guard's
no-op / cap / scheduler-skip behaviour.
- Inline the syncedChannels useMemo (its dep is a fresh array each render, so
it never cached); fix the stale "~2-min ticks" comment (it's 10 minutes).
The channel detail page now polls (via useLiveQuery) while THIS user's
full-history backfill is running (deep_requested && !backfill_done), so
the stored count and the N/S/L breakdown climb on their own as the
scheduler adds videos — no manual F5 — and it stops polling once the
back-catalogue is in. Widen useLiveQuery's interval callback to allow
returning `false` (stop) so "poll while active, stop when done" is a
first-class, reusable cadence.
- DataTable: opt-in `fixedLayout` (colgroup + table-layout:fixed) so the
table fits its container at any zoom/text-size; only the channel manager
opts in — playlists/discovery/Plex keep auto-sizing.
- Remove the N/S/L and Sync columns from the manager table. Fully-synced
status becomes a ✓ charm on the Stored count; the sync filter moves to an
`applySyncFilter` pre-filter still driven by the top chips.
- Channel column is now fluid: ChannelLink truncates with the full name on
hover (title). Data columns get fixed widths so only Channel/About flex.
- N/S/L (normal/short/live) breakdown moves to the channel page: add the
three counts to the channelDetail endpoint (one grouped query, same
filters as the list) + the ChannelDetail type + a meta-line entry.
- Drop the now-dead sync/types i18n keys (en+hu).
The channel page's underline tab pair was the last hand-rolled tab idiom on a
swept surface. It now uses the shared <Tabs> (rounded-lg pill, active accent
shadow) like every other tab-set, sitting inline with the channel action
buttons on the same separator row. Drops the bespoke tabClass helper. Only the
NavSidebar icon rail (aria-current, icon-only app nav) stays a distinct idiom.
Self-E2E'd: Videos/About switch, content flips. gate green (tsc/eslint-0/
prettier). Branch not merged.
Add a paint-only .btn-primary recipe (solid accent bg + accent-fg text +
hover:opacity dim) in index.css @layer components, alongside the selection-paint
recipes (.pill/.chip/.is-current). Migrate ~38 primary/action buttons across 24
files off the hand-rolled 'bg-accent text-accent-fg hover:opacity-90', keeping
each site's geometry (padding/radius/font/gap/disabled/shadow).
Deliberately NOT migrated: accent BADGES/labels (spans), the chat message bubble,
selection toggles (tableHeader — R8 popover territory), and the round play FAB
(hover:scale, not the opacity-dim primary idiom). Three previously hover-less
primary buttons (SettingsPanel/SetupWizard/DraftSaveBar) gain the standard hover
dim for consistency.
Gate green (tsc/eslint-0/prettier/knip/vitest 79); self-E2E confirmed a migrated
button computes to accent/accent-fg and both recipe rules load.
- Extract the optimistic + debounced-flush feed-priority flow into a shared
useChannelPriority hook (mirrors useChannelTagActions); the manager and the
channel-detail page now share it instead of two drifting copies.
- NavSidebar: drop the always-true `slim` const and its dead expanded-rail
branches; refresh the now-stale pinned/collapsible comments.
- Remove the orphaned `navCollapsed` localStorage key (no readers/writers left
after the always-slim rail).
- Channel page: drop the wrapper native `title` that duplicated PriorityStepper's
own Tooltip.
The keyboard-focus nav-label finding needed no change: the popover platform
already wires useFocus (visibleOnly), so a real Tab press shows the flyout label
(verified in-browser).
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.
- PlexBrowse PLAYABLE_TINT: transcode was collapsed onto remux's bg-warn; give it
bg-danger so direct/remux/transcode read as a distinct good->heavy green/amber/red
gradient again.
- Live indicators (VideoCard row + thumbnail badge, playlistColumns badge): revert to
fixed live-red + white instead of the --danger token. 'live' is a broadcast marker,
not an error state, and the badge sits over a thumbnail (no app-bg contrast need);
restores the conventional red/white LIVE look and decouples it from error retunes.
- ChannelPage exploring badge: drop the redundant dark:text-warn (no-op after the
token rename — --warn is already theme-scoped).
error/fatal toast shade merge left as-is (both are 'bad'; the 400/500 step was subtle).
Add theme-scoped --danger/--warn/--success (+ -fg) tokens wired into the v4
@theme inline, replacing ~110 raw red/amber/emerald/green palette refs across
34 files. Fixes light-theme contrast failures (fixed Tailwind shades fell to
~1.7-3:1 on white). Status colors are scheme-independent — recognised by hue,
shifting only by theme to hold contrast (bright on dark bg, darkened on light).
Solid fills use the paired -fg text; @source inline guarantees the full -fg set
exists. IMDb rating gold kept as a deliberate decorative non-status exception.
Root-fixes the opacity-modifier seed bug behind R10 S0: the theme colors were
bare `var(--x)` hex with no <alpha-value>, so `bg-accent/40`, `ring-accent/40`,
`border-border/60`, `text-muted/70`, … (~99 sites across 45 files) emitted no
CSS rule at all — latent no-ops. v4 implements the opacity modifier via
`color-mix`, so the modifier now works with the existing hex vars, no per-scheme
token duplication needed.
- `npx @tailwindcss/upgrade`: `@tailwind` directives → `@import "tailwindcss"`,
JS config → CSS `@theme` (colors, --font-sans, the z-index tokens preserved),
classname renames (rounded/shadow/blur scale, outline-none→outline-hidden,
ring→ring-2) across 56 files; PostCSS plugin → @tailwindcss/postcss,
autoprefixer removed (v4 prefixes for you).
- `@theme` → `@theme inline` (load-bearing): the color vars are redefined at
runtime under html[data-scheme]/[data-theme]; inline resolves them at the use
site so per-scheme opacity tints track the active scheme (the shadcn v4 pattern).
- Revert one codemod false-positive: it rewrote the English word "rounded" →
"rounded-sm" inside a releaseNotes.ts prose sentence.
Gate green: tsc(app+node) / eslint 0-err / prettier / vitest 79 / knip.
Verified in-browser: bg-accent/15 now computes a scheme-tracking color at 0.15
alpha across all 6 schemes × 2 themes; the hand-rolled glass border/shadow/
radius/backdrop-filter render unchanged under v4.
Correctness:
- Escape is now strictly topmost-only for EVERY mode. Hover popovers register in
the shared layerStack too (and floating-ui's own Escape is off for all modes), so
an open tooltip/hover-card no longer either swallows the Escape from a Modal/player
underneath (its document-level stopPropagation vs their window listeners) or
double-closes both. A player's own overlay hover-card now takes Escape before the
player, keeping it alive.
- An invisible (referenceHidden, scrolled-out) surface is no longer a dismissable
layer, so it can't silently eat an Escape aimed at what's actually on screen, nor
make a player defer.
- PopoverSurface splits into a wrapper that returns null before any hook and an inner
that holds them, so a mounted-but-closed popover (≈10 per table row) subscribes no
fullscreen listeners — was ~1800 document listeners on a 100-row table.
- The fullscreen portal no longer remounts on a key: one persistent container is
re-parented body↔fullscreen-element with appendChild (atomic move), so the open
panel's focus/caret/scroll/animation survive a transition and an element SWAP is
handled by the element-identity dependency.
- AddToPlaylist drops `disabled={busy}` on its items (it blurred the focused item to
<body> and permanently killed roving focus); re-entrancy is already guarded in
toggle(), and aria-busy conveys the pending state.
- New `hostsInput` option turns off BOTH typeahead and focus-item-on-hover for the two
menus with an inline text field, so a pointer passing over a list item no longer
steals the field's caret and mis-routes the next Enter. Replaces their `typeahead:false`.
- ChannelTags' single-pass fit loop gains a whole-set fast path, so it stops collapsing
chips into "+N" when they would all have fitted.
- `initialFocus={-1}` is applied only when a `selectedIndex` is set (the sync-focus race
it works around); a plain nav menu now lets the focus manager focus normally, so an
item-less menu (first-run tag editor) still has a keyboard entry point.
a11y:
- `ariaLabel` now wins on menu-role panels — the surface strips useRole's competing
`aria-labelledby` when an explicit label is given (verified: the filter/View menus
are named by their column/label, not the trigger).
- PopoverItem routes caller props THROUGH getItemProps and applies its own
tabIndex/disabled/data-active/className last, so a caller handler or tabIndex can no
longer be silently dropped or clobber the roving model.
Regressions / consistency:
- Tooltip shows/hides on contact again (explicit 0/0 hover delay) instead of inheriting
the platform's 120/140 ms intent delay.
- ChannelTags' editor list regains its useScrollFade overflow mask.
- ChannelTagsControl takes a `bounded` prop; the channel detail page passes false so
tags show inline in the wide header instead of collapsing to "+N".
- ChannelPage's tag-catalog query is gated on subscribed && !demo (matches the only
consumer's render condition); the manager's tag toggle now also invalidates
qk.channel(id) so the detail page's cached tags stay in step.
- DetailCustomizeMenu + PrefToggle revert off the platform to the pre-R8 inline
`absolute` menu: in the player's overlay it renders inside a transform:scale(1.25)
subtree, and portalling out to <body> painted it at 1×. Same reason the player's own
menus stay hand-rolled; this also restores PrefToggle to plain buttons (the rows are
independent toggles, not a radio group). The stale PlayerModal fullscreen comment is
corrected too.
Gate green (tsc/eslint/76 vitest). Self-UAT in-browser: hover-over-item no longer
steals the tag input's caret; text filter keeps caret while narrowing; menu aria-label
is the label not the trigger; selectedIndex lands focus on the checked item; roving +
Escape-close+refocus intact; add-to-playlist items never disabled. NOT verified here
(needs a device / playing media): the fullscreen portal reparent and the player-overlay
paths — owed device UAT, as they already were.
Address the two remaining review findings on the tag work:
- extract useChannelTagActions — the optimistic attach/detach + create-and-attach flow that
the channel manager and the channel detail page had copy-pasted; the cache-shape-specific
optimistic update is injected (manager maps a ManagedChannel[]; detail patches one
ChannelDetail), so the two stay in sync;
- add a DB-lane test asserting GET /api/channels/{id} returns exactly this user's personal
tag links — not another user's, not the auto/system (user_id NULL) links.
attach_tag/detach_tag call _user_subscription, which 404s for a channel you don't
follow — but the tag control was rendered for any non-demo channel, so tagging an
un-subscribed/explored channel popped a global error + reverted the optimistic add.
Gate the control on ch.subscribed (personal tags are for your subscriptions anyway).
Bring the same tag control to the channel page, next to Subscribe:
- backend: GET /api/channels/{id} now returns this user's `tag_ids` for the channel
(added to _channel_detail_dict + the ChannelDetail interface), matching the manager
list shape;
- ChannelPage renders the shared ChannelTagsControl, wired to attach/detach/create with
an optimistic update on the channel-detail cache (reverting on failure) and a manager
list invalidation so a tag added here shows there too.
Reuses the R8 popover platform + ChannelTagsControl — no new tag UI.
The catalog only stores the recent-backfill/RSS subset of a channel's uploads (video_count is
YouTube's raw total), so a subscribed channel looked like it was "missing" videos. Now the channel
page header shows "{stored} / {total} videos" when there's a gap, and a "Full history" action queues
the deep backfill (the same deep_requested trigger the channel manager uses) — showing a loading
state until done. Backend: channel_detail now returns deep_requested/backfill_done.
Introduce lib/queryKeys.ts as the single source of truth for React Query
keys — the R7 driver was ~200 hand-written key literals across 51 files
(`["feed"]` alone in 15+), where one typo silently orphans a key so an
invalidate never matches.
S2a migrates the three highest-traffic domains (feed/video, channels,
playlists) plus the shared me/my-status/tags roots: ~90 literal sites in
18 files now call qk.*(). Pure substitution — each factory fn returns the
byte-identical array the call sites used before, so TanStack's prefix
matching is unchanged (qk.feed() still invalidates qk.feed(filters)).
Co-invalidation clusters are deliberately NOT bundled into helpers (they
differ per site), so no query's refetch scope changes.
Nullable keys (playlist(selectedId), ytSearch(q)) accept null so a null
segment is preserved (["playlist", null]) while a no-arg call is the bare
prefix key — guard is `!== undefined`.
Gate green: typecheck, eslint (0 err), prettier, 68 vitest. Smoke: app
boots, feed/facets/tags/my-status all 200, no console errors. Factory
extended to plex/messaging/admin/downloads/notifications in S2b.
Review found my C-3.23 additions double-notified: the global error modal (api.ts req)
already surfaces 400/409/422/500 with the backend's specific message, so a caller
toast on those codes is a second, weaker surface. Only 403/404 are caller-handled and
silent — and only a YouTube WRITE action has a meaningful 403 (missing scope).
So the correct set is just the ChannelPage unsubscribe handler (a YouTube write, 403 →
"connect", matching subscribe). Reverted the redundant onErrors on block (a local DB
op, not YouTube), SettingsPanel Plex watch toggle/reimport, and the DownloadCenter job
action — the global modal already speaks for them. Removed the three now-unused keys.
Toaster: moved the polite live region onto the stable, always-mounted container (a
polite region must pre-exist to announce later insertions); error/fatal toasts keep
role="alert", which announces on insertion regardless.
House policy: user actions must report failure. Added onError to:
- ChannelPage block + unsubscribe → notifyYouTubeActionError (a 403 = missing YT
scope shows the connect message; else the translated fallback);
- SettingsPanel PlexWatchSync toggle + reimport → a plain error notify (these are
Plex, not YouTube, so notifyYouTubeActionError's "connect YouTube" would mislead);
- DownloadCenter job action (pause/resume/cancel/delete) → a plain error notify.
New keys (HU+EN): channels.notify.blockFailed, settings.plexSync.failed,
downloads.actionFailed.
