- SelectTrigger lays its toolbar value out as a row; the saved-view chip passes its glyph and
modified dot through the icon/trailing slots (an <svg> is display:block and broke the chip in two).
- One Escape in a dialog's open list closed the list AND the dialog: the list's close flushes
synchronously and pops its layer before the dialog's window listener runs. takeEscape() is the one
close-on-Escape test (topmost AND not yet taken); Modal, the Welcome lightbox and useLayer use it,
and keymap.dispatch ignores a taken Escape.
- /watch: the Download sits on the toolbar rung, level with the Repeat chip.
Deep-review round 3 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.
Account boot
- The notification history and settings, and the hints toggle, are read
when their modules load, which in a new tab (bookmark, typed URL) is
before BootGate pins the account: they read as nobody's, and the tab's
first notice replaced the account's stored history (up to 100 entries)
with a one-item list. They now read again when the tab is pinned
(onAccountPinned, run by setActiveAccount); a notice raised before the
pin stays, after the history.
- A tab pinned to an account still in this browser's wallet but whose
session ended (suspended, deleted, or revoked by "log out everywhere")
got "signed out" from /api/me while the default account was still
signed in, and signing in again as anyone else left it there. A refused
per-tab account now leaves the wallet, and the probe answers as the
default, so the tab reloads onto it.
Share page (/watch)
- The password unlock is limited per viewer (link + client IP), under a
per-link ceiling that counts only wrong passwords. Keyed on the link
alone, ten wrong guesses every five minutes locked out every viewer,
the ones with the password included. client_ip moves to app.ratelimit
so the public routes can key on it.
- Its failure messages and the load-failure screen are announced
(role=alert, the password input described by its error). The sign-in,
passphrase, password-change and setup form errors get role=alert too.
Comments that still described removed machinery are corrected: App's
collapse flags, SettingsPanel's Save bar, ConfigPanel, authed_format_sig.
Tests: the account's history and hints across the pin; a revoked and a
suspended pinned account; the per-viewer limit and the ceiling; the
limiter's exhausted(); the share page's announced failures; a share
link's feed filters persisted. Each mutation-checked RED for its own
reason.
Deep-review round 2 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.
Account resolution (server)
- A request naming an account that is no longer signed in to this browser
(X-Siftlode-Account or ?account=) now acts as nobody instead of the
session's default account. A tab still pinned to an account signed out in
another tab went on acting as the default: its player checkpoints and
preference saves landed in that account, the messages socket and Plex
playback ran as it, and its Sign out signed THAT account out. A hidden tab
never polls /api/me, so a tab playing in the background kept doing it.
The /api/me bootstrap probe alone keeps the fallback, which is how such a
tab learns who it now is: the app's 401 handler reloads, and BootGate
re-pins the tab.
BootGate
- On an identity change the tab reloads without moving its pin first. The
tree being torn down still runs its unmount saves before the page goes,
and with the pin already moved they wrote into the new account's local
keys (a player volume still pending). The reloaded page corrects the pin.
Share page (/watch)
- Only a 404 says the link is gone. A 5xx, a dropped connection, and the
unlock's own rate limit all rendered "no longer available ... expired or
revoked" to a viewer with a valid link, with no way to try again. A load
failure now offers Retry; too many password tries says so and keeps the
form; an unlock that gets no answer says so instead of doing nothing.
Strings in en/hu/de.
Downloads
- A cookie-authed asset is recognised under the current signature version
and the one before it, so a job queued before a deploy that bumps the
version still downloads with its cookie instead of failing on the login
wall with an error that says no cookie was used.
The app chunk is preloaded through lazyWithPreload, so a failed fetch no
longer leaves an unhandled rejection beside the ErrorBoundary. The panel
layout seed is one helper (seedLayout).
Tests: the stale-tab refusal, its harmless Sign out and the probe fallback;
the pre-bump authed asset; BootGate keeping the pin on reload and staying
mounted through a same-account change; the reveal clock's later-commit
hand-off; the prefs, panel layout and demo-scope seeds from the me cache;
the share page's failure states. Each mutation-checked RED for its own
reason.
On iPad Brave, a shared video stopped the moment the browser left the
foreground, even with Brave's "Enable Background Audio" on, while an mp3
kept playing. Brave iOS keeps a web <video> going by re-playing one the OS
paused (brave-core ios/browser/web/media/resources/media_backgrounding.ts),
but it only hooks a <video> present at document start or added as a
MutationObserver addedNode that IS a video. React inserts a player's
<video> inside its freshly mounted wrapper in one go, so Brave never saw it.
lib/browserBackgroundPlay re-inserts a mounted <video> at its own position,
once per element: it becomes an added node, the DOM React manages does not
change, and playback is not interrupted. The watch page, the downloads
library player and the Plex player hand their <video> to it. Measured on the
owner's iPad (Brave) with a prototype of the same idea: the video kept
playing in another app and with the screen locked. The YouTube modal is not
ours to change: its <video> lives in YouTube's cross-origin iframe, and
nothing of ours pauses it on backgrounding.
The prototype's two audio-element variants (a muted video following an
<audio>, and an <audio> taking over on hide) went silent in the background on
the iPad and are removed.
The watch page gets a Repeat toggle, on by default and remembered per
browser (LS.watchRepeat; the page has no account): it sets `loop` on the
<video> or the audio-only <audio>.
The /watch/{token} SPA gets a third branch: media_kind==='file' renders an
info card (name / TYPE · size) + a Download button, no player. The <video>/
<audio> branches now guard on media_kind!=='file' so legacy links
(media_kind null) still play. Download is gated on the link's allow_download,
mirroring the media branch; the backend serves a file force-download
(attachment + octet-stream) regardless, so the gate only reflects owner ACL.
FE-only (public_meta already emits media_kind/size_bytes/container since S5a).
i18n HU/EN/DE 'file' fallback label. Two DOM tests: file -> info card +
Download, no player; view-only file -> no Download.
5a — the public watch page rendered every asset in a <video>, but WebKit (all
iOS browsers) refuses to play an audio-only mp3 in <video>, so shared audio
links were broken on iPad while working on desktop Chromium. public_meta now
flags audio-only assets (codec present, no video stream) and WatchPage renders
a native <audio> in a padded surface card (no artwork exists for these).
5c — a login-walled Facebook post failed as a bare 'unknown', which offered a
misleading Retry. Classify closed-group / cookie-suggestion auth walls as
login_required and genuinely unsupported sites as a new unsupported_host class
(both non-retryable), and drop unknown from the modal's retryable set — an
unclassified failure is most often an unparsed auth wall. The queue row keeps
its own force-retry for real transients.
