The faint HTPC art backdrop now slowly cross-dissolves through a pool of images
instead of showing one static art — the last E5 sprint.
- useCrossfadeBackdrop (replaces useArtBackdrop): a double buffer — the SETTLED
image lives on #root's background (the proven full-viewport layer); the next
image cross-fades in on a z-index:-1 overlay layer, then is committed and the
overlay reset. ⭐ #root is given `isolation: isolate` so it's a stacking context
— without it the z:-1 overlay paints BEHIND #root's own background and is
invisible (found + fixed live: a red test layer + a real TMDB backdrop both
only showed once #root was isolated).
- Art pool: the item's own art + its TMDB backdrops (E5 S2, rendered straight
from the TMDB CDN — the CSP allows it) + its collection siblings' art; the show
page adds related art; the PERSON page cross-dissolves through the person's
films' art (the roadmap's signature touch).
- HARD-OFF under prefers-reduced-motion (static, no overlay) + a new usePref
"Crossfade backdrop" toggle in the detail customize menu (fade 1.6s / 7s cycle).
Wired into PlexInfo, PlexShowView, PlexSeasonView, PlexPersonView. Tests:
plexBackdrop.dom.test.tsx (5: paint+isolate+overlay, reduced-motion off, single
image, animate=false, disable/unmount cleanup). Browser-E2E'd (isolation +
overlay render + a real backdrop crossfade + the toggle). Gate: vitest 347,
backend lane 403 (unchanged — FE only).
▶ E5 · Plex Experience epic COMPLETE (S1–S8).
Reworks the always-expanded filter chip walls into compact, Seerr-style
"+ Add" → searchable-popover pickers (the user's space-saving ask), and adds
the missing studio filter.
- New MultiSelectChips: selected values as removable chips + a "+ Add" trigger
opening a searchable checklist (AnchoredPopover platform — menuitemcheckbox,
arrow/Escape, anchor flip). Options carry facet counts; a large vocabulary
renders a 50-row cap + "N more — refine with search" footer (studios run to
~1500). Replaces the flat Genre + Age-rating chip lists.
- New Studio filter via the same picker. Backend: /facets now aggregates the
studio vocabulary (distinct studio + count, self-excluded like genres). The
studio filter itself already existed (only addable from the detail page before).
- Collection converted to the same "+ Add" pattern (CollectionPicker): a
single-select popover with server-side search + the 50-cap; the selected
collection still shows as a removable chip. Retires the always-inline search+list.
New i18n plex.filter.studio/add/moreRefine + common.search/remove/noResults
(en+hu). Tests: MultiSelectChips.dom.test.tsx (5, incl. the cap) +
test_plex_facets studio-vocabulary. Browser-E2E'd: Genre→Horror(402),
Studio→A24(14, capped/searched), Collection→James Bond(26)/harry-search.
Gate: vitest 342, backend lane 403.
The person page now leads with a TMDB bio, lazily fetched the first time it's
opened (off the S2-linked `tmdb_person_id`) and then served from the row:
- Migration 0072: ADD-only nullable person columns on plex_people — biography,
birthday, deathday, place_of_birth, known_for_department, also_known_as,
known_for ([{tmdb_id, media_type, title}]), tmdb_enriched_at.
- tmdb.py: TmdbClient.fetch_person (/person/{id}+combined_credits), parse_person
(bio + a popularity-ranked, deduped known_for), apply_person, enrich_person
(lazy one-shot, key+id guarded, commits, 404 stamps the watermark).
- people.py person_detail: loads the full person row, lazily enriches (best-effort
— never fails the page), serves the bio fields + resolves known_for to library
rows by guid (in-library only, popularity order).
- FE PlexPersonView: bio/birth-facts/aka hero + a "Known for" Carousel rail above
the existing Movies/Shows filmography; PlexPersonDetail type + i18n (en+hu).
Tests: test_plex_person_bio.py (6: parse / lazy-enrich guards / serve) + extended
PlexPersonView.dom.test.tsx + the unknown-name contract in test_plex_person.py.
Browser-E2E'd on Jim Carrey (live TMDB enrich → bio 1937 chars, born 1962-01-17
Newmarket, Known-for resolved). Gate: vitest 337, backend lane 402.
Consumes the TMDB block the S2 engine already persists + serves (movie/show
detail's `tmdb`), turning the movie info page into a Seerr-style enriched detail
(page variant only — the player overlay stays lean):
- Multi-source ratings row: IMDb (links out) · TMDb (with vote count) · Plex
audience — whichever are present. Only the primary score (IMDb, else audience)
carries the ratingMin filter, mirroring the backend rating column.
- Facts panel: release · runtime · cert · budget · revenue · studios · countries.
- Keyword chips → tap to filter the library. Backend: a new `keywords` filter on
LibraryFilters + meta_filter_conds (`keywords @> [kw]`, both models), wired
through PlexFilters (appendPlexFilters / plexFilterCount / active-chip / clear).
- Full crew (TMDB key-crew) → tap a name to open their person page.
Tests: test_plex_keyword_filter.py (3) + PlexInfo.dom.test.tsx (5, incl. the
overlay-stays-lean guard). New i18n plex.info.facts.* / keywords / crew / audience
(en+hu). Gate: vitest 337, backend lane 396.
A dedicated Plex "Discover" landing — a stack of horizontal Carousel rails
served from ONE consolidated read (serve-from-DB, no live Plex/TMDB call):
- GET /api/plex/discover → continue_watching (in-progress movies + shows, most
recently progressed) · recently_added · genres (top-N tiles) ·
because_you_watched (recs of the most-recent watched, TMDB-enriched movie,
resolved to library rows by guid via serve_block's resolver).
- GET /api/plex/surprise → a fresh random, scope-bounded sample for the ↻ rail.
Frontend: PlexDiscover.tsx (rails reuse the S1 Carousel + S3 PlexPosterCard;
colored genre tiles → tap to filter the grid; ↻ reshuffles the surprise rail
alone). Discover is now the root sub-view; the flat grid becomes the bookmarkable
"Browse all" secondary view (?v=browse) reached by a header search/filter (a
browse-intent flip) or the new Discover⟷Browse toggle.
resolve_recs is promoted from _resolve_recs (now cross-module). Tests:
test_plex_discover.py (rail shape/order, continue-watching, because-you-watched
+ null, surprise bounds, scope) and PlexDiscover.dom.test.tsx; plexSubUrl
round-trip updated for discover-root/grid-browse. Backend lane 393, vitest 332.
The poster card (grid + person page) gets the Seerr-style hover: on hover a
bottom scrim slides up with the title, a "year · runtime · ★rating" meta line,
and a 3-line synopsis — the info you'd otherwise click through for — plus a
less-flat play ring (radial-gradient + ring shadow) and a top-right quick-action
cluster (Info + watched-toggle, revealed on hover / always on touch). Rest-state
badges (season / type tag) yield to the scrim on hover; the playable-cost tint
stays. (§1 A + C from the enrichment study.)
Backend (the data the scrim needs, mirroring S1's `art`): the grid
(browse.unified_library) now emits a lang-coalesced, truncated `summary` (new
query.summary_col) + the Plex `rating`; movie_card/show_card do the same (EN) for
the detail/related/person cards. PlexCard.rating type added (summary already
existed for episodes).
Gate: tsc x3 / eslint / prettier / knip / vitest 326 green; ruff green; backend
lane full suite green. Self-E2E on the live dev server (rebuilt on this branch,
S2-enriched): the grid serves rating+summary (Shawshank 9.3, Godfather 9.2, real
synopses) and the card renders the play ring + scrim (The Expanse: ring, synopsis,
★8.1) — verified via the DOM (the pane wouldn't composite for a screenshot).
Wave 5a building blocks under the Seerr-inspired Plex enrichment (E5).
Carousel (frontend/src/components/Carousel.tsx): the one horizontal-rail
component, replacing the hand-rolled `flex overflow-x-auto` strips and the
home of the future Plex-Discover rows. Edge-fade mask, hover/focus scroll
buttons that appear only on the clipped side (useHScroll — the X-axis twin
of useScrollFade, same watch-the-children discipline), native scrollbar
hidden behind .no-scrollbar, reduced-motion-aware paging. First consumers:
CastStrip + RelatedStrip now scroll inside it (dedup + free affordances).
New i18n: common.seeAll / scrollLeft / scrollRight (en+hu).
Card-art serializer (backend/app/plex/cards.py): movie_card + show_card now
emit `art` (the wide backdrop, /api/plex/image/{rk}?variant=art) so rails and
the crossfading hero get a landscape image with no per-item fetch — gated on
art_key so an art-less item stays null and falls back to the poster. FE type
PlexCard.art?.
Tests: Carousel.dom.test (children/header/see-all, clipped-edge buttons +
paging), test_plex_cards (art present/absent by art_key). Added a
ResizeObserver stub to PlexPersonView.dom.test (it renders CastStrip, now a
Carousel consumer).
Gate: tsc x3 / eslint / prettier / knip / vitest 324 green; ruff green;
backend test lane (docker-compose.test.yml) green on the plex card tests.
Resolves the 5 /code-review high findings on this branch:
- a11y sweep: extend aria-label to the remaining icon-only Plex card buttons the
first pass missed — PlexPosterCard Info, SeasonCard watched-toggle + add-season
(EpisodeCard already had them). "Fix a principle everywhere, in one sweep."
- new shared lib/parseId.ts `parsePositiveIntId`, used by BOTH readSelectedId
(now guarding the stored ?pl fallback the same as the URL — was unguarded) and
plexSubUrl's ?v=playlist decode; removes the hand-duplicated guard.
- PAGE_KEY exported from navigationInit and imported by NavigationProvider (was
defined in both).
- hoist a `watchedLabel` const per card so title + aria-label can't drift.
+8 tests (parseId unit + guarded-stored ?pl); full FE gate green (tsc/eslint/
prettier/knip, 317 vitest).
The remaining E4 deep-review deferred gaps, in one sprint:
- readSelectedId split into playlistsInit.ts (react-refresh-clean, testable) —
?pl accepted only as a positive integer; empty/0/negative/fractional/non-numeric
fall back to the stored selection; null when neither is present.
- useUrlMirror: mounts write the param, a same-serialized rerender does NOT
re-fire (stable dep), a null value clears the key, other params preserved.
- usePref: a pending debounced write is FLUSHED on unmount (not dropped); an
unmount with nothing pending stays silent.
20 new test cases; full FE gate green (tsc/eslint/prettier/knip, 309 vitest).
Backfills the E4 deep-review's deferred coverage for the subview history
primitive. The keeper case is the S2 bookmark fix: a popstate that lands on a
URL-only entry (no history.state._sub) must restore the sub-view from the ?v
param via the SAME fallback the mount seed uses, not collapse to root.
Covers: seed from URL vs state._sub vs root, the no-SubviewUrl state-only
path, open() push+mirror + encode→null key-clear, and popstate restore from
state / from URL (the fix) / collapse-to-root.
9 tests, gate green.
Bump VERSION to 0.70.0 and add the user-facing release-notes entry for the E4
Frontend Platform epic: full bookmarkable/shareable address-bar URLs (retiring the
"Share view" button), touch-visible card action buttons with a shape (not
colour-only) watched marker, and the bookmark-page-closes-on-modal-close fix — over
a large internal front-end refactor (god-component splits, usePref, useUrlMirror,
FilterRail, Modal focus). No DB migration.
Deep-review (6 dimensions, 3-verifier adversarial pass) surfaced 7 findings, all
verified; fixed here.
- NavigationProvider + history.ts (medium, correctness): the popstate handlers
restored the open channel / Plex sub-view from history.state ONLY, but a fresh
?chan / ?v bookmark lives in the URL with no marker in state — so any overlay's
programmatic history.back() (closing a modal/player) silently closed the
bookmarked channel or collapsed the sub-view to the grid. Give onPop the same
URL fallback the initializers already use (history.ts extracts a shared readView
so seed and popstate can't diverge again).
- plexCards SeasonCard (medium, a11y): the "In progress" season badge was a
reveal-idle swap-badge → display:none on touch, and a season has no progress bar,
so an in-progress season was indistinguishable from unwatched on touch. Moved it
to the top-left (the toggle owns top-right) and made it always visible.
- plexCards watched toggle (low, a11y / WCAG 1.4.1): watched state was color-only
on touch (green vs white CheckCircle2). New WatchedIcon distinguishes by SHAPE —
CheckCircle2 (watched) vs an empty Circle (not) — used by all three card toggles.
- Modal.tsx (low, a11y): the focus trap leaked on Shift+Tab when focus rested on
the panel container itself (Node.contains(self) is true, so the pull-back branch
never ran). Guard now also checks `active === panel`.
- index.css (low, a11y): .reveal-idle faded only on .group:hover though .reveal is
revealed on hover AND focus-within → the badge overlapped the control on keyboard
focus. Added the focus-within fade.
- PlexBrowse.tsx (low, correctness): the ?v=playlist decoder accepted a non-integer
id (Number.isFinite); tightened to Number.isInteger(n) && n > 0, matching the ?pl
guard.
Gate green (tsc, knip, lint 0-err, 247 vitest). Self-E2E (localdev): ?v=show and
?chan bookmarks survive a modal open+close (were collapsing/closing before); Modal
Shift+Tab from the panel stays inside; in-progress season badge visible on touch;
watched toggle shows an empty-circle-vs-check shape difference; 0 console errors.
Applies the /code-review high findings on the E4 branch:
- usePref: flush the pending debounced server write on unmount instead of
clearing it, so the last change isn't lost (and can't later be overwritten by
the stale server value via the adopt effect). [correctness]
- PlaylistsProvider.readSelectedId: accept ?pl only when it's a positive integer
— "?pl=" gave Number("")===0 (finite) and "?pl=1.5" a fractional id, both of
which selected a non-existent playlist. [correctness]
- usePref: extract mergePrefsCache() so useSavePref and usePref.set share the
one me-cache merge shape instead of duplicating it. [reuse]
- New lib/useUrlMirror: the shared replaceState(urlWithParams(...)) mirror
effect, so FeedFiltersProvider and PlaylistsProvider stop hand-rolling the
identical block (keyed on the serialized delta so it only fires on change).
[reuse]
- plexCards: swapBadgeReveal() helper for the repeated
reveal-idle/group-hover:opacity-0 swap-badge ternary. [simplification]
Gate green (tsc, knip, lint 0-err, 247 vitest). Self-E2E (localdev): feed filter
mirrors to ?show and clears on leaving the feed / re-mirrors on return via
useUrlMirror; ?pl= (empty) and ?pl=abc no longer select a bogus playlist (fall
back to the stored selection); Plex reveal-idle badges still display:none on
touch after the helper refactor; 0 console errors.
The three filter rails — feed Sidebar, PlexSidebar, PlaylistsRail — each rendered
the same SidePanel chrome (title bar, customize `editing` state, edit-toggle,
reset-to-layout-default, edit hint) around a PanelGroups body, differing only in
identity + filter content. Extracted that shell into components/FilterRail.tsx:
each rail now supplies only what differs (title/icon, active-filter count +
Clear-all action, its `items`, and optional content above/below the groups —
`top` for the feed's scope toggle, `children` for its tag manager). FilterRail
owns the `editing` state, so all three drop their duplicated useState + SidePanel
wiring.
MediaSource facade (lib/mediaSource.ts): a thin `MediaSourceKind = "feed" | "plex"`
naming the two browsable, filterable sources (a PanelId minus "playlists", which
is a rail but not a source). Already unified in practice — one SortControl, the
source-agnostic ActiveFilter[] chips, PanelId layouts, now the shared shell — so
this is formalization, not new capability: a single named seam for a future third
source or a cross-source feature. The two media-source rails annotate their `kind`
with it; PlaylistsRail passes the plain PanelId. Per the recon, the playlist-dialog
merge was deliberately NOT forced (it proved forced + low value). UX-3 control-vocab
sweep deliberately deferred — the rails already use the canonical primitives.
Behaviour-preserving. Gate green (tsc, knip, lint 0-err, 247 vitest). Self-E2E
(localdev): all three rails render via FilterRail — feed (scope toggle + panel
groups + Customize→editing with reset + 56 reorder affordances, exits clean), Plex
(filter groups + customize), Playlists (sections + customize); 0 JS console errors.
The native-controls-yield effect registered addEventListener("blur", onBlur) but its
cleanup removed "blur-sm" (a stray Tailwind-class find-replace artifact), so the blur
listener was never removed — leaking one per player open/close. Match the names.
Mirror the Plex player split (plexPlayerHooks.ts / plexPlayerControls.tsx). The shell
keeps owning the shared refs and passes them into each hook; the once-bound keyboard
handler + layer-stack registration stay in the shell (they orchestrate every cluster).
Behaviour-preserving code-motion — PlayerModal 1332 -> 890 lines.
New lib/playerModalHooks.ts:
- useYtVolume (per-account wheel/arrow volume, on shared playerVolume.ts)
- useNativeControlsYield (iframe-focus overlay yield)
- useYtBigView (F-maximise + our true-fullscreen; YT-specific, not Plex's useFullscreen)
- useYtProgress (player create + resume + 5s checkpoint + auto-watch + auto-advance)
New components/playerModalControls.tsx: PlayerTransportControls (moved as-is) + the
AutoMode/LoopMode types.
Self-E2E (localdev): play a feed video -> plays; transport bar (Auto/Loop); wheel volume
persists ({"volume":100}); F maximises + docked bar; exit big view; Close destroys the
player. Gate green: typecheck, knip, eslint (0 err), prettier, 247 vitest.
Noted a pre-existing bug (kept byte-identical here, flagged separately): the native-yield
effect removes a "blur-sm" listener but adds "blur" — the blur listener leaks.
The query string is now the source of truth for the current view, so every URL is
bookmarkable/shareable. Reverses the early minimalist-URL rule (user's call).
- urlState: urlWithParams (read-modify-write delta on the live query, each provider
owns its keys) + clearParams (strip only transient auth params) replace the whole-
query stripUrlParams; shareUrl deleted; filterParamUpdates helper.
- NavigationProvider: page + ?chan mirrored to the address bar (pushState URL arg;
history.state mechanics untouched); loadInitialPage resolves deep links
(?v->plex, ?pl->playlists, filter/?chan->feed, bare->stored landing).
- FeedFiltersProvider: feed filters mirrored to the URL, gated on page===feed.
- useHistorySubview: optional SubviewUrl mapping; PlexBrowse mirrors the sub-view to
?v=<kind>:<args> (show/season/info/person/playlist; grid+player stay ephemeral).
- PlaylistsProvider: selected playlist mirrored to ?pl on the Playlists page.
- App: the 5 stripUrlParams calls become targeted clearParams (link/oauth/admin/
access/verify/reset); the share-link hydrate effect removed.
- Retire the "Share view" feature: Sidebar + SavedViewsWidget buttons + i18n keys.
Browser tab title stays the short module/channel name (document.title untouched) —
the query never leaks into it, per the user's request.
Gate green: typecheck, knip, eslint (0 err), prettier, 247 vitest (urlState.dom.test
+9). No browser-E2E yet (most visual sprint — flagged for the epic-end review).
Fold the hand-rolled server-pref plumbing (savePrefs + local mirror + me-cache
merge + adopt-on-login) into a single usePref<T>(serverKey, default, opts) hook,
plus useSavePref for dynamic multi-key patches.
Migrated (6 savePrefs call sites + 2 duplicated adopt effects -> the hook):
- FeedViewProvider: view
- App: filterCollapsed, playlistsCollapsed (+ their adopt block removed)
- PlayerModal: playerAutoAdvance, playerLoop
- plexDetailUi: plexInfoArtBg/Cast/Related (savePref via useSavePref)
Left as-is by design: panel layouts (a dynamically-indexed Record, not one key),
language (i18n store, no React state), PrefsProvider (debounced multi-field
auto-save + baseline echo-suppression - a different model).
Behaviour-equivalent (net -84 LOC at the call sites). usePref.dom.test covers
the three seed sources, persist path, debounce, adopt, parse, and useSavePref.
Frontend gate green: typecheck, knip, eslint (0 err), prettier, 238 vitest.
An <img> can't send the X-Siftlode-Account header, so the poster.jpg request
resolved to the session-default account and _accessible_job 404'd it for any
download owned by a different (per-tab) account — every card then fell back to
the source's remote thumbnail, which for Facebook is an expiring fbcdn URL, so
the Library showed blank thumbnails in a multi-account session. The 0.69.1
local-poster-primary change made this the primary image, exposing it broadly.
Append ?account= to the poster URL via a new api.posterImageUrl(), the same
wallet-gated header-less selection downloadFileUrl / storyboardImageUrl already
use (resolved_user_id reads ?account= for exactly these contexts).
Three prod bug fixes: local-poster-primary Library thumbnails, viewport-scaled
feed read-ahead (fixes the fast-scroll "Load more" stall), and the channel About
popover fitting/blank-line cleanup.
Bump VERSION 0.67.0 -> 0.68.0 and add the user-facing release-notes entry for
the E2 epic (feed sort index, keyset/NOT NULL, search GIN + state inner-joins,
single /feed/summary pass, no card-action refetch storm, job partial indexes).
Review round on the E2 stack (S1-S5). No correctness bugs; the surviving
low/medium findings addressed:
- altitude (#1): extract the shared `tags_by_category` helper used by BOTH
filtered_query (SQL tag WHERE) and feed_summary (Python facet/count), removing
the category-grouping duplication, and add bidirectional "keep in lockstep —
equivalence-tested by test_feed_summary_matches_count_plus_facets" comments so
the SQL<->Python tag rule can't silently drift.
- test-coverage (#2): the /feed/summary equivalence test seeded only system tags,
leaving the `ChannelTag.user_id == user.id` visibility branch untested. Add a
user-owned Tag + link + two combos; the suite is now 346 (was 344) and the new
cases pass (feed_summary agrees with /feed/count + /facets on user-visible tags).
- dead-code (#3): annotate get_feed_count, get_facets, and the FE api.feedCount/
facets as "SUPERSEDED by /feed/summary — kept only as the equivalence oracle;
retire together" so the intentionally-retained surface reads as deliberate.
Not changed (confirmed no-op): the search channel-name resolve (#4) is
once-per-request on a 633-row table and a deliberate pre-resolve for PERF-12's
BitmapOr plan; the facet loop (#5) already computes passes() once per
(channel, category) with a distinct exclude each, so there is no recomputation.
Gate green: ruff + 346 pytest; frontend tsc/knip/prettier (FE change is a comment).
The FE fired /feed/count (1 pass) + /facets (3 passes) on every filter change =
4 full scans of the subscribed set. New /api/feed/summary does ONE grouped query
(the base filter with tags stripped, GROUP BY channel_id -> per-channel video
counts) and derives the total count + every tag's distinct-channel facet count in
Python on the ~few-hundred-row channel map, faithfully mirroring filtered_query's
channel-based tag logic + the /facets drill-down (own category dropped, unless a
conjunctive topic-AND). Returns {count, facets} — the same numbers the two old
endpoints returned.
FE: a single shared query (Feed reads .count, Sidebar reads .facets); same key +
filters, so React Query dedupes to ONE request. Invalidations repointed to
qk.feedSummary. The old /feed/count + /facets endpoints (and their now-unused FE
api/qk) are kept as the equivalence-test oracle + safety net; a later cleanup can
drop them.
New equivalence test (test_feed_views, 8 filter combos incl. cross-category,
disjunctive/conjunctive topic modes, search): /feed/summary count == /feed/count
and facets == /facets, byte-identical. Structural win: 2 requests / 4-6 queries
-> 1 request / 2-3 queries (the review measured 530 -> 144 ms). Gate green:
344 pytest, frontend tsc/eslint/knip/prettier/222 vitest.
Bump VERSION 0.66.0 -> 0.67.0 and add the user-facing release-notes entry for
the E1 Foundation epic (data-safety fixes, account-switch + search-error fixes,
graceful key-mismatch degrade; plus the security/test-net/CI/repro chores).
SEC-10 (account pre-emption / "pre-hijack"): a password set on an account whose
email was never verified is untrusted — whoever registered the address (to
pre-empt the real owner) could have chosen it. Both the Google-adoption callback
and admin activation (_activate_user_by_email) now drop that pre-set password and
bump the session epoch when the account isn't email_verified, so a later Google
login / admin approval can't hand the pre-set password a working login. No-op for
a verified account (the legit no-SMTP flow). +2 tests.
SEC-11 (link/upgrade bound to the session default): the OAuth link/upgrade GETs
resolved to the session DEFAULT account, so a tab acting as a secondary account
would link Google / the YouTube grant to the wrong account. The frontend now
threads the active account through the navigation URL (withActiveAccount ->
?account=<active>), and _complete_link accepts any wallet account, not only the
default, so the identity lands on the account that started the flow.
A vitest that fails the gate when the newest release-notes entry's version
diverges from the repo-root VERSION file (the two hand-edited version sources),
plus a no-duplicate-versions check. Catches the "bumped one, forgot the other"
release mistake.
Ships the E5 sprint stack (S1–S7): field-scoped Plex search + typeahead, cast &
crew pages, the HU-overlay Hungarian metadata + language-aware serving, the
IMDb/audience rating split, the toolbar relocation, and the narrow/mobile header
fix — plus the underlying Plex-module refactors (feedquery/plex.cards/plex.query
extraction, db.query→2.0 select).
- VERSION 0.65.2 → 0.66.0
- releaseNotes.ts: 0.66.0 user-facing entry
- prettier-format the E5-touched frontend files (release hygiene)
Merged main (0.65.2 download-gc hotfix) in first; no code conflicts (E5 is
Plex-only, the hotfix was notifications/downloads).
1. (correctness) Show hero rating regression: PlexBrowse's show hero rendered a
rating only when show.imdb_rating was set, so after the S6 IMDb-only change a
show with no imdb:// entry showed no rating. Now falls back to the audience
`rating` like PlexInfo.
2. (correctness) ratingMin column mismatch: the rating filter and the /facets
rating_max now key off coalesce(imdb_rating, rating) — the SAME "best score"
the badge displays — so a ratingMin picked from a shown IMDb score narrows the
right column instead of the raw audience `rating`.
3. (altitude) HU search gap: new query.vector_match() matches EITHER vector in HU
(or_(search_vector_hu, search_vector)) so a row with no HU twin stays findable
by its English title; ranking still uses the HU vector. field_recheck unions
the HU+EN per-field tsvectors in HU, staying a strict subset of the prefilter.
4. (test-coverage) Extracted the badge logic to lib/plexRating.pickRatingBadge
(shared by PlexInfo + the show hero) with a unit test (imdb-preferred, audience
fallback, 0-score, none). Backend tests added for the HU union search + the
IMDb-preferred rating filter.
5. (efficiency) Language switch no longer double-fetches the grid: browseQ is
gated on a committedLang state that lags `lang` by one render, so the
genre-clear effect settles into a single fetch instead of one throwaway fetch
with stale-language genres plus a second.
DB-lane suite 295 passed / 2 skip; FE tsc/knip/lint clean, 217 vitest pass.
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.
- PlexPersonView.dom.test.tsx: variadic vi.fn mock for plexSetState so the
spread call typechecks (TS2556 — zero-arg mock couldn't take ...args).
- plexSearch.ts: drop the unused `export` on PLEX_SEARCH_FIELDS (module-local
only; knip flagged it as an unused export).
tsc / knip / lint all green; ruff clean.
Backend: new GET /api/plex/person/{name} returns a cast/crew member's cached headshot plus
the movies (PlexItem, kind=movie) and shows (PlexShow) in the enabled libraries whose
cast_names OR directors include the name — the inverse of the cast → filter link. Introduce a
shared _content_libs(db) helper (enabled-library partition) and reuse it in people_cards;
S5 will extend it with the HU-overlay exclusion. Watch-state comes from PlexState / rollup
(reusing _movie_card / _show_card / state_map). DB-lane tests cover cast+director credits,
library scoping, the kind filter, unknown-name empties, and the partition helper.
Frontend: a new `person` history-subview. A cast-row click (PlexInfo cast row + the show
page's CastStrip) now opens the person's filmography page instead of filtering; the filter
gesture moves to a "Filter library by {name}" button on the page itself. PlexPersonView
mirrors PlexInfoView's fetch-wrapper + glass hero (headshot + name + credit counts) and
renders Movies / Shows as PlexPosterCard grids, with an optimistic per-card watch toggle on
the person cache. New plexPerson query key + api client + PlexPersonDetail type; HU/EN copy.
Move the two "what am I browsing" controls out of the filter sidebar to where
they're always in reach, matching the Feed's layout:
- Library scope (both/movie/show) → a compact SegmentedToggle in the header next
to the search box (new PlexScopeToggle, reads the same provider state).
- Sort → a SortControl in the row above the cards (into the PageToolbar band,
count on the left, sort on the right), like the Feed.
Sidebar cleanup: drop the `scope` and `sort` island cards; the panel badge now
counts only the filters still in the panel (expanded filters + watch-state);
remove the now-unused sort imports. panelLayout drops both from the default plex
order (stale saved-layout keys are auto-filtered, so existing layouts degrade
cleanly). usePlexActiveFilters no longer emits a sort chip — sort is an
always-visible control now, not a removable narrowing (same as the Feed).
FE-only, no backend/migration. typecheck + eslint clean; 171 vitest green;
self-E2E verified (header scope drives the grid, sort control reorders, sidebar
no longer shows the two cards, no sort chip).
Add a search scope-pill to the Plex header search box (GitHub-style, one
field-scope at a time) and an instant typeahead of the top matches below it.
Backend (unified_library):
- New `field` param: all | title | people | summary | episode. `all` is
byte-identical to the pre-scope behaviour (untouched weighted search_vector);
a specific field keeps the GIN `search_vector @@ tsq` prefilter AND ANDs a
per-column tsvector recheck, so scoped hits are a strict subset of Everywhere.
Per-field expressions mirror the search_vector Computed def (same TS config,
same left(summary,1000) truncation).
- `episode` scope empties the movie/show grid and title-only-matches the grouped
Episodes section; the title/people/summary scopes suppress that section.
- Unknown field falls back to `all`. New DB-lane characterization tests
(test_plex_field_scoped_search.py): each scope narrows correctly, field=all is
identical to today, episode empties the grid and needs shows in scope.
Frontend:
- PlexSearchBox wraps the shared SearchBar with the scope-pill (reusing
ActionMenu) and the typeahead; SearchBar gains generic leading/below/focus/
keydown slots so other modules' search boxes are untouched.
- Episode scope offered only when shows are in scope (movie-only hides it),
healed at the point of use like the sort state.
- Typeahead reuses /api/plex/library (limit=10), honours scope+field (not the
sidebar filters), shows poster+title+year, keyboard nav (arrows/Enter/Esc),
and jumps straight to a movie's info page or a show's drill-down via a new
provider jumpTo hand-off (mirrors the playlistOpen pattern).
- `field` persisted per-account; en/hu labels added.
Bumps VERSION to 0.65.1 and adds the release note for the backfill fix
(immediate "get full history" now completes channels over ~3000 videos in
one run) plus the per-page durability + centralized reserve-guard hardening.
Bump VERSION to 0.65.0 and add the user-facing release notes for R14
(zoom-fit manager table, ✓ charm, N/S/L moved to the channel page,
live-refresh, immediate "get full history").
- 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).
Bump VERSION to 0.64.0 and add the user-facing release-notes entry for
the R13 sprint (unified sort/filter controls, Hidden channels tab,
channel-manager toolbar declutter, filter-rail jitter fix).
The deep-review flagged that the feed sidebar's new date single-select
derivation was the one bit of migrated logic without a test, while its sibling
primitives (FilterChipGroup/SegmentedToggle/SortControl) all gained one. Lift
the pure logic into lib/dateFilter (deriveDateKey + applyDateChip), same split
as columnSort, and cover it: dateKey for none/preset/custom/off-preset-value,
the preset toggle-off, the preset-not-active-while-custom-open case, and the
Custom open/close + maxAgeDays clearing. Sidebar now calls the helpers; the
onChange is behaviour-identical (self-E2E'd: preset on/off, Custom editor).
11 new tests (vitest 136 -> 147). gate green. Branch not merged.
Retire the hand-rolled channel-manager view pills for the shared <Tabs> component (given an
optional className so it embeds in the justify-between header without the default mb-4), and
back view + layout on usePersistedTab instead of manual getAccountRaw/setAccountRaw useState.
That subsumes the account-pin re-hydrate (usePersistedTab now re-reads on the pin), so
ChannelsProvider's bespoke markManagerDirty/useAccountRehydrate is gone; setView keeps the
history-tab logic (_chTab pushState + popstate) layered on the stable raw setter, and
useAccountPersistedState's setter is now memoized so that stable action holds.
Per the user's call, unify every channel-manager pill on the rounded-lg idiom: the view tabs
via <Tabs>, the sync chips and tag chips + the "manage tags" affordance from rounded-full to
rounded-lg — no more odd-one-out rounded-full.
gate-green: tsc + vitest 120 + eslint-0 + knip + prettier. Self-E2E'd: tab switch, browser
Back across tabs (Blocked->Hidden->Subscriptions with localStorage in sync), and a fresh tab
restoring view=hidden on the FIRST load; zero console errors.
Addresses the 2 findings from /code-review high on 726c382:
- NavigationProvider: openChannel/enterYtSearch no longer markDirty. A sub-view is an
overlay, not a page change — the page re-hydrate's replaceState already spreads the
_chan/_yt marker, so the overlay survives on top of the RESTORED page. Removing the
markDirty lets a fresh tab still restore the stored landing page under a pre-pin overlay
(previously it stuck on the default). setPage keeps markDirty (a real navigation).
- useFilterState.dom.test.ts: model a mutable pinned account and add 3 integration tests —
null->id re-hydrate adopts the stored map, the migrate seed carries a legacy value forward
on re-hydrate when the key is empty, and a pre-pin edit is preserved (markDirty guard).
gate-green: vite build + vitest 120 + eslint-0 + knip + prettier. Fresh-tab restore re-E2E'd
(lands on Plex with full state, zero console errors).
Fixes the 5 findings from /code-review high on the account-pin work:
- Extract the reactive-account primitives (ACTIVE_ACCOUNT_KEY, activeAccountId,
notifyActiveAccountChange, useActiveAccountId) into a new dependency-free
lib/activeAccount.ts, breaking the storage.ts <-> useAccountRehydrate.ts import cycle.
storage.ts / api/core.ts / useAccountRehydrate.ts now import from it.
- NavigationProvider: the page re-hydrate now PRESERVES existing history.state markers
(spread, not overwrite), and openChannel/enterYtSearch markDirty so a sub-view opened
before the account pins isn't clobbered by the page override.
- useAccountRehydrate: reset the dirty flag after each account transition, so a future
non-reloading account switch can't skip the re-hydrate and leak the prior account's state.
- Doc-link useAccountRehydrate to the pre-existing useEffect([me?.id]) server-adopt pattern.
- Tests: model a mutable pinned account and add useSortState integration tests for the
null->id re-hydrate + the markDirty no-clobber guard (vitest 115->117).
gate-green: vite build + vitest 117 + eslint-0 + knip + prettier. Self-E2E'd on a fresh
tab: still lands on Plex with Movies/In-progress/Year restored, zero console errors.
