- ui/Input, Textarea, InnerInput + fieldClass (A4): the >= 3:1 edge, a 2px accent
focus edge, the danger edge for invalid, md/sm/xs/heading rungs, 1rem and 44 on touch
- ui/SelectTrigger (A5): SortControl, FilterSelect, the view switcher and the date
filter on one trigger, a pill in a toolbar, r8 in a form
- ui/NativeControls (A6): Checkbox, CheckRow, Slider, ColorInput
- every raw input swept (~100 sites); inputCls retired; local/input-primitive
- useReturnFocus: an in-place editor hands the focus back to its trigger on
Enter/Escape (the playlist and Plex title renames, the priority number);
the Plex playlist rename gains Escape and an accessible name
- back to top: a round 48 FAB (owner decision); DESIGN.md A2 and the log
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).
The lime accent was the loudest of the four (OKLCH L 0.85, C 0.21) and read as neon; the owner chose the
moss variant at Midnight's lightness with near-neutral greys, and the Matrix backdrops follow it. Fixed
white/black parts on a solid accent fill (two switch knobs, three play buttons, the Up next pill) now use
--accent-fg, and theme.contract.test.ts refuses a fixed white or black next to a solid bg-accent.
Four schemes (Midnight; Forest cyan, Slate fuchsia, Matrix lime), YouTube
and Starship retired with no data migration: normalizeTheme maps a stored
retired scheme to Midnight. A vitest contract measures every scheme x mode
(text 4.5:1, control edge 3:1, status text, the accent's 30-degree hue gap);
it caught light-mode danger at 4.43:1, now red-700. The state layers, the
strong edge, the touch target and the fades are index.css tokens and
utilities the lab now reads. Backdrops recoloured to the new accents, with
a grey overlay grain that actually breaks the banding (longest flat run
15-26px -> 4-8px). The glass tuner is retired.
The owner's lean Plex control set with both refinements (Back by position,
a touch double-tap for the 10 s skip) goes into DESIGN.md's Players
chapter and the log. The lab is now the reference only.
Stop, Restart and the 10 s skips leave the row, Back restarts or steps to
the previous episode, Next shows only when there is a next item, and the
card carries Resume + From the start. The lab asks back two points: how
Back tells restart from previous, and a touch path for the 10 s skip.
C1-C4 as proposed: the action classification, overlay-drawer side panels,
touch-first players, dialog focus by purpose with a pinned footer. The
players were then played live at tablet size, which found the Plex
control row running off-screen below 1024; how it fits is open as C5.
CLAUDE.md now points at DESIGN.md.
DESIGN.md: B1-B9 decided (compact density, the four-scheme set with the
accent-vs-status rule, state layers, the sticky band, surface per role, the
watch page, the slim NavRail with optional labels, loading by shape, the
fade edges) with their decision-log rows. The lab keeps the chosen A and B
renderings as reference on shared tokens (labTokens.ts) and adds batch C:
the action-placement classification for review, side panels on touch and
below 768, the Plex player on touch, and the dialog conventions.
DESIGN.md: the Controls chapter decided (A1-A6) with the decision-log rows;
density stays open as B1. The lab keeps only the chosen A renderings as
reference and adds batch B: density, the scheme set (measured accent hue
gaps and light contrast), state layers, the page-chrome model, surface per
role, the public watch page, the nav rail, the loading form and where the
header + fade edge goes.
plugin-react recognises the React Compiler only by its package name, and
reactPlugin.ts passes the imported plugin, so plugin-react left Babel's
retainLines on in dev. With the compiler's re-printed JSX that trimmed the
space at the end of a text line (the privacy page read
"for example/api/feed" on :5173). Production builds never had it on.
Turn retainLines off through generatorOpts, which wins over the plugin's
top-level option, and pin it with a DOM test seen red without the fix.
- docs/DESIGN.md: the written source of truth for the UI. Decided chapters
(principles, device adaptation, action placement, text stays selectable,
interaction rules, copy, anti-patterns, decision log); controls and
surfaces are marked Pending until the owner picks from the lab.
- /design-lab (dev only): renders each open decision's variants with the
app's real CSS, themes and font scale. Batch A = six control decisions.
- devOnlyGuard: a production build fails if anything under src/design-lab
reaches the bundle (seen red with an unguarded import).
- Size contract: tablet portrait + landscape and up, replacing the
1024x768 floor with its never-built "too small" message.
The localdev e2e account's password was a hard-coded default in this public repo, so it
was never a credential. E2E_PASSWORD is now required; the ops wrapper exports it from
the secret store, and the seed/setup fail with a clear message when it is missing.
The P1 epic: the upload route reads its own body after `require_human`
resolves, so an anonymous caller can no longer make the server spool 500 MiB
before the auth check runs. Three deep-review fix rounds on top of it.
Deep-review round 3, targeted at the surfaces round 2's fix commit changed.
Five of the eight findings are the same shape: the guards written to stop
half-done sweeps were themselves half-done.
test_upload.py's display-field guard walked only `ast.Assign`, so the one
writer with an unbounded REQUEST HEADER behind it — `spool_upload`'s
`display_name=display_text(...)` keyword — was invisible to the guard meant
to protect it. It also stopped at `app/routes/`, missing the four writers in
`downloads/` that actually construct the row, and asserted `not offenders`,
which enforces nothing once a refactor moves the writers out of its view.
It now walks assignments AND keywords across `app/`, and holds exact set
equality against a registry of all twelve write sites with each one's value.
test_body_limit.py's release guard used `any(... ast.walk(fn))`, which
accepts a `release_read_connection` that runs AFTER the await it exists to
precede — satisfying the letter of the rule while pinning a connection for
exactly the transfer it was supposed to free. Position is checked now, and a
late release is its own, louder failure. The registry keyed sites by file
basename while scanning recursively, and `admin.py`, `discover.py` and
`playlists.py` each exist both at the top level and under `plex/` — the same
entry-collapse the registry was widened to close. Keyed by relative path now.
And all three guards recognised a body read only by the `capped_` naming
convention, so a route spelling `await request.body()` inline declared no
ceiling, released no connection, and was invisible to every one of them.
`release_read_connection`'s precondition claimed the caller "must have
NOTHING PENDING, and that is checked rather than described" while checking
only UNFLUSHED ORM work. Measured: after `add`+`flush` all three collections
are empty and the rollback loses the row, and Core DML never enters them at
all — both of them this codebase's canonical write shapes. It now also asks
the transaction directly via `pg_current_xact_id_if_assigned()`.
`errors.tooLarge` was reworded to "try a smaller file", but that key answers
every route's body cap: the issue composer's over-size JSON draft got advice
about a file it does not have. Back to payload-neutral; the file-specific
sentence keeps its own key.
The upload dialog's new danger border outranked `dragOver`, so a user
replacing an over-cap file got no sign the drop zone was live — and with a
file picked the label shows its name rather than "drop it here", so the
border was the only feedback left.
Four further findings were refuted 3/3 and are not fixed: `aria-invalid` on
the drop zone (measured in Chromium — the AX node does carry it on a native
button), a bidi-override spoof through `display_text` (the served filename
already strips those categories, and the proposed filter would have broken
every ZWJ emoji), and `capped_body` not draining (the screenshot route's edge
ceiling equals its own cap, so that refusal is unreachable, and the log sink
is sent by beacon with nobody reading the answer).
Deep-review round 2, on round 1's own fix commit. It found MORE than round 1
did (28 raw, against 13), and most of it was mine -- a new piece of UI attracts
findings a backend-only diff never does. The pattern in almost all of them is
the same: a principle applied to the site that prompted it and not to its
siblings.
* `display_text` reached three of the FIVE writers of a user-supplied name.
`POST /api/downloads` and `POST /api/downloads/edit` still handed Postgres an
unbounded string, so a 300-character name pasted into the Add-download dialog
or the editor was a bare 500 (main.py re-raises every DataError but the NUL
case). Four of the seven reviewers found it independently. The bound now lives
in `models.py`, the three columns are DECLARED with it, and the guard for the
next writer is parsed rather than remembered: every `display_name` /
`display_uploader` assignment under `app/routes/` must go through the helper.
That guard immediately found two more -- the Google sign-in callback writes
the profile name into the same 255-wide column -- so it is six, not five.
* The connection release reached one of the THREE routes that read their own
body. The screenshot route (10 MiB, from a phone) and the client log sink both
still held a pooled connection idle-in-transaction for the length of the
upload, which is the invariant db.py sizes the pool on. All three now call
`db.release_read_connection`, whose precondition -- nothing pending on the
shared session -- is CHECKED rather than described, because a whole-session
rollback discarding a caller's staged write is a mistake this repo has already
made once. `test_body_limit.py` holds the rule for the next such route.
* The AST drift registry keyed its sites by (module, limit expression), so a
second route copied from the first collapsed onto the same entry and went
uncovered -- the exact hole the registry exists to close. Keyed per call site
now, and it carries the release requirement too.
* The dialog's own refusal was announced once and never again: two over-cap
picks leave an identical node with identical text, and an untouched live
region says nothing. It is keyed per pick now, the drop zone reads as invalid
and points at the sentence, and the reason is reachable from the control
rather than only from a one-shot announcement.
* Two tests rebuilt the blind spot they were written to remove: the dialog's cap
test sat nowhere near the boundary (a `>` loosened to `>=` survived it, which
is the mutation round 1 fixed on the server side), and the header-precedence
test only covered an exact-case duplicate while a differently-cased one would
have been COMBINED onto the wire rather than replaced. Both fixed, and the
merge now dedupes case-insensitively because header names are.
Also: the upload dialog's unstubbed usage query was firing a real request from
jsdom in a neighbouring suite and leaking a delayed "connection lost" toast
across test boundaries; `GET /api/downloads/usage` had no test at all though the
whole client-side check hangs off it; and the comment claiming the edge 413 is
readable now says what was measured -- readable to 200 MiB over loopback, a bare
`onerror` through a proxy -- so the pre-send check is named as the mechanism and
that branch as the backstop it is.
Every test added or changed here was mutation-checked. One mutation SURVIVED and
is recorded rather than papered over: the `tooBig` term inside `submit()` cannot
be reached, because `ui/Button` swallows the activation itself, so it is marked
as belt and braces instead of being described as the guard.
The epic-end deep review found three defects in P1 and four tests that did not
hold what they claimed. They land together because they share the upload route
and its test module; splitting by hunk would have produced commits that do not
individually run green.
* The edge ceiling and the route's own cap are the SAME number at the default
configuration, so the edge always answers first: a declared Content-Length
over the cap is refused before a byte is read, and an undeclared body trips
the middleware on the same chunk the route would have tripped on. The route's
numbered 422 -- and the drain written for it last week -- are reachable only
once an admin LOWERS the knob, which is the one shape the browser UAT tested.
Measured: headroom does not fix this, because the declared-length check fires
first for any body big enough to matter and the drain pushes the count back
over the edge for the rest. So the edge's own refusal is made readable
instead: `errors.tooLarge` localizes `too_large` the way `upload_too_large`
was already localized, and the dialog refuses an over-cap file BEFORE sending
it, off the `upload_max_bytes` that GET /api/downloads/usage now reports.
Measured in Chrome against the API directly: that 413 arrives as `onload`
with a readable body in 43 ms.
* Reading the body behind the auth dependency put the whole transfer inside the
request's database session -- the auth SELECT autobegins a transaction, so one
of the twenty pooled connections sat `idle in transaction`, with nothing to
time it out, for as long as the client cared to keep sending. That is the
invariant db.py sizes the pool on and plex/playback.py records an incident
for. The read transaction now ends before the await. Measured on the dev
server: an 1818 ms upload shows no idle-in-transaction sample while the bytes
move, only afterwards, when the handler actually writes.
* The display name moved into a request header, where nothing bounds its length,
while the column stayed varchar(255) -- so a long enough name was a DataError
500 after the whole file had already transferred. One `display_text` helper
now serves all three writers (the metadata PATCH already truncated, the upload
ingest did not), and the dialog stops at the same number.
* The gate invariant asked `route.dependant.body_params`, which holds only the
route's OWN callable's parameters: a body declared in a SUB-DEPENDENCY -- the
upload route's own idiom -- leaves it empty while FastAPI still reads the body
before auth. It asks `route.body_field` now, which is what FastAPI itself
consults. The AST registry of body-reading call sites had also never followed
`capped_stream_to`, so the one route the whole invariant exists for was the
single site the drift guard could not see.
Four tests that passed over their own mutation are fixed: the cap boundary (a
`>` loosened to `>=` survived the entire suite), the percent-decoding (every
filename the suite sends is ASCII, where quote() is the identity function), the
display-name header (no test at all), and the staging cleanup (deleting the
unlink left the suite green while every refused upload leaked its partial bytes
onto the volume). Every test added or changed here was mutation-checked.
`POST /api/downloads/upload` declared `file: UploadFile = File(...)`, and
FastAPI parses and spools a declared body before the first dependency runs --
`require_human` included. An unauthenticated caller could therefore make the
process write the whole per-file allowance (500 MiB by default) to temp, once
per request. SEC-20's ceiling bounded that number but could not stop the
writing, which is why E27 parked it rather than closing it.
The route now takes no body parameter. `spool_upload` names `require_human`
first and only then streams `request.stream()` to the staging temp file, so a
stranger is refused before a byte moves -- the shape the screenshot route has
used since E16. Filename and display name travel as percent-encoded headers
(latin-1 on the wire, so a Hungarian filename needs the encoding) instead of
multipart parts.
`capped_stream_to` joins `capped_body` in routes/_common.py: the same counting
rule, written to a file descriptor rather than accumulated, because holding
500 MiB would trade a disk problem for a memory one. Its refusal is the
caller's, so the upload route keeps answering 422 `upload_too_large` with the
admin knob's own number.
With no envelope to allow for, the edge is now exactly that knob, and
MULTIPART_ENVELOPE_ALLOWANCE is gone.
The invariant stops being prose: test_body_limit.py asks FastAPI itself
(`route.dependant.body_params`) and fails the gate if any route with a raised
ceiling declares a body. A comment could not have prevented the defect it
described; that test would have.
Both new tests were seen red for the right reason -- before the fix the
anonymous probe got its 401 only after the server had read 4236 bytes of a
multipart body, and re-declaring the File parameter turns the invariant test
red naming the route and the parameter.
Two findings, both in the review's own work; nothing in the product code. That is
the shift that ends the loop: 22 → 13 → 6 → 2, and the last two are a test and a
comment rather than a defect.
The "an override that is fine is still honoured" leg of the bounds-fallback test
stored `spec.max` — which, for this key, IS the env default, because the spec's
max is derived from it. So the assertion was satisfied by the fallback it existed
to rule out: mutating `_coerce` to reject EVERY int override left all three legs
green. It stores `spec.max - 1` now and asserts the value differs from the
default, so the leg can actually fail.
And the shrink test's comment claimed `3 - 5 = -2` for an expression that computes
`chips.length - visible` = `2 - 3 = -1` — naming neither operand nor the result,
in a comment that was rewritten one round earlier precisely for miscounting.
Round 3 over round 2's fixes. The trend is 22 → 13 → 6, and the character has
shifted: these are mostly defects in the REVIEW's own work, not in the epic.
The ordering test I added to hold the middleware's position could not fail for
either arrangement it names. All four `@app.middleware("http")` layers — the
access log, the two header decorators AND the setup gate that must be inside —
register as the same `BaseHTTPMiddleware`, so asserting on the class passes for
the pre-move stack and for a cap moved back outside CORS. It names the layers by
their dispatch function now, which is the only thing that distinguishes them.
The `sysconfig` bounds check CLAMPED, and clamping is a silent rewrite — the thing
this module refuses to do everywhere else, where an unusable override falls back
to the env default and logs once. On the max side the difference is cosmetic; on
the min side it is a live bug. `download_upload_max_bytes` had `min=0` before E7,
and a stored 0 means "no per-file cap" to the route that reads it. Clamped to 1 it
becomes a ONE-BYTE cap: uploads dead, nothing in the log, the admin page showing
"1". It raises `OutOfRange` now and takes the existing fallback, with its own
event code.
The `capped_body` sweep grepped for an identifier as the limit argument, so a site
written `capped_body(request, 4 * 1024 * 1024)` — or with the parameter not named
`request` — was MISSED, and a miss reads as "no new sites". Parsed with `ast`
instead: every call is seen whatever it looks like, and an unfamiliar argument
shape fails the equality instead of vanishing.
Frontend: the shrink test drove the mock in a way the real hook cannot produce
(it moved `visible` in the same step as the shrink, and the comment miscounted the
tags), so it reproduced the right END STATE by accident rather than the sequence.
`visible` is now left alone across the shrink, which IS the precondition.
Ops: the baseline guard answered "did this run rewrite it?" and therefore went
green on the second run over an already-tightened, uncommitted baseline — the
exact state its own comment says marks the localdev stack stale ever after. It
asks both questions now. And `.dockerignore` joins BAKED_PATHS: it decides what
the COPY lines actually take, so it is an input to the build context exactly as
the copied trees are.
The reset I added guards on `hidden === 0`, and `hidden` can be NEGATIVE.
`useChipOverflowFit` keeps `visible` in state and re-decides in a layout effect,
so the render in which the chip set SHRINKS still carries the previous
measurement — delete three tags under an open "+N" and `chips.length - visible`
goes to -2, the equality never matches, and the flag survives the one window the
reset exists to close. The next re-fit brings the menu back on its own, which is
the original defect with an extra step. Clamped at all three lanes, with a test
that drives the shrink through the stale value.
Also: the Scheduler characterization banner said "the four tests below" and now
sits above six, the last two of which are genuine regression guards for the
range-refusal fix. A future mutation check would have read it, seen them go red,
and concluded the harness was broken rather than that the guard worked.
A second review round over the first round's fixes, which is where the remaining
real bugs usually are. All four are the same failure as the round it reviewed: a
claim stated in a comment that the code does not hold.
The middleware moved inside CORS, but the setup gate is registered LATER and is
therefore OUTSIDE it — so the comment's "the setup gate never runs for a body that
is already too large" was false the moment it was written. On an unconfigured
instance that gate opens a DB session per request, which is exactly the anonymous
pre-auth work SEC-20 exists to remove. The cap now sits between them, and the
order is asserted against `app.user_middleware` rather than described: prose about
a stack that `add_middleware` builds inside-out is how this got backwards.
The edge ceiling and the route's own cap were pinned EQUAL, but they measure
different things — the edge counts raw body bytes, the route counts the decoded
file. A file of exactly the advertised maximum was refused one layer before the
route that would have taken it. The edge now allows for the multipart envelope,
and the test asserts the relation and the gap instead of equality.
`sysconfig`'s new `max` was enforced on write only. That bound did not exist
before this epic, so a value that was legal when it was written can be sitting in
the database — served unclamped it produces exactly the drift the comment says is
impossible, with the admin page showing a number outside its own range. Int
overrides are clamped on read now, which also survives an env default being
lowered later.
And `DOWNLOAD_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES=0` meant "no per-file cap" to the route but a hard
zero to the edge: every upload refused, including the admin page's own way back,
recoverable only by editing env and restarting. The setting takes `ge=1`.
Two test gaps from the same round: the header assertion that is the ONLY check of
the middleware's position was DB-gated and skipped on a host without Postgres, and
the headroom "ratio" the docblock calls load-bearing was held as `<=`, i.e. no
ratio at all. Both fixed, plus a sweep that every `capped_body` call site in the
routers is known and fits under its ceiling — the point of that list is the third
entry, not the two that exist today.
react-i18next was still on ^14.1.2. The E27 S1 plan named it as "the one peer that
actually needs moving — React 19 support is the 15 line", and then it did not
move. The 14 line's <Trans> reads `element.ref`, removed in React 19, and its
withTranslation types are built on the GLOBAL JSX namespace @types/react 19 no
longer declares — both latent only because this app imports neither. 15.7.4 fixes
both at the source (`c.props.ref ?? c.ref`, `React.JSX.LibraryManagedAttributes`).
`reactEngine.contract.test.ts` joins its Node and Python twins and holds what was
only a comment: the compiler's `target` against the installed React major, react
and react-dom together, the types against the runtime, and react-i18next's floor.
A stale target is not a corrupt bundle — the plugin validates the option — but it
is a silent one, since tsc never sees Babel's output.
pythonEngine gains the seventh spelling nobody held: `requirements.lock`'s own
regeneration recipe names a python image, and wheels resolve against THAT
interpreter, so a recipe left behind yields a lock that does not match the image
installing it.
The type lane now covers `alembic` too, for the reason the ruff lane was widened
to it — migrations run on every container start, so one that raises crash-loops
prod. It came back at zero new errors, so the baseline is untouched. `tests/` is
deliberately still out, and the config says why.
vitest.config's docblock claimed the React transform is "a no-op for the plain .ts
node tests". It is not: the compiler rewrites src/lib's hooks in that lane too,
which is the point of sharing one factory with the build — and worth knowing
before ruling the compiler out of a divergence.
Tests: useCardPager had none, in either the hook or its two callers, though its
page clamp moved to render in S2 — the transformation where a non-convergent
condition is a crash rather than a glitch. Four cases now, including termination
on an empty list. Combobox's and Avatar's close/failed-URL cases are relabelled
CHARACTERIZATION: both pass against the pre-sweep code, and the tests beside them
are the ones that discriminate.
Both refused an out-of-range value by discarding it: the entry vanished, the box
snapped back to the server's number, and nothing said whether the save had
happened, been rejected, or been ignored. That is the house rule about honest
states, applied to a write instead of a read. They now keep the draft, mark the
field aria-invalid and name the range (HU+EN), and the Save control is disabled
rather than silently inert.
The interval editor also dropped a keyboard user's focus on every exit — Escape,
Cancel and Save all unmount the focused input — so it hands focus back to the
pencil that opened it, the pattern IssueComposer already uses.
Tests: the four interval-editor cases added in S2 are relabelled CHARACTERIZATION,
because they pass against the pre-sweep code too (the old effect was already
guarded by `editing`). The editor that genuinely lost typing to a poll is the
maintenance batch box, whose old effect had no guard at all, and it had no such
test — it does now, anchored on a value that follows the server so it cannot pass
on a page that simply has not polled yet.
Every one of them is the same shape: a value derived correctly, and a WRITE to
the thing it derives from left unattended. Deriving hides a stale value; it does
not consume it.
PlayerModal — the watch toggle inherited the previous video's auto-watch. Moving
the queue-advance sync into render was right for `currentVideoId`, but the same
block also synced `status`, and that one had an ordering constraint of its own:
useYtProgress's cleanup for the OUTGOING item can still call setWatched(true)
near the end of a clip, and cleanups run after the commit. As an effect the sync
landed last and corrected it; from render it lands first and the stray write
wins. Press Next in the final ten seconds and the NEXT video showed as watched —
one click on the toggle then sent onState(next, "new") for an item already new.
Fixed by keying the mirror to the id it describes, so a write for another item is
ignored rather than displayed, and no ordering has to be argued about at all.
ChannelsProvider — a focus-channel intent was masked by the page rather than
consumed, and nothing ever cleared it. The manager is a page chunk: it unmounts
on every navigation, and its seed effect runs again on each mount, so returning
to it re-applied a channel name from earlier in the session over whatever the
user had typed since. The consumed marker now lives in the provider, keyed on the
token — which also closes the case the old clear-on-leave effect never handled,
opening a channel page (that does not change `page` at all).
TagFilterChips + ChannelTags x2 — `open = openRaw && hidden > 0` hides the
overflow popover when the lane stops overflowing, but floating-ui only reports a
close for a real event on a mounted surface, so the raw flag stayed true and the
menu came back by itself on the next re-fit — a window resize or the text-size
slider is enough, with nobody near it. The flag is now reset in render against
the same condition that hides it.
Avatar + downloadRow — remembering a failed image BY URL fixed the recycled-row
frame but never forgot it, so a transient 429 pinned a channel to its initial for
the life of the instance, never re-requesting. The memory is now dropped once
`src` moves off it, which keeps both properties.
And playerModalHooks' last exhaustive-deps suppression claimed "nothing in the
body reads a render value" while reading five. The invariant that is actually
load-bearing is that each of them is a per-item snapshot — written down instead.
All four fixes are mutation-checked: each new test was seen red, against the
fixed line only, naming the real defect.
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.
The interesting part of this batch is a change that was WRONG and the test suite said so.
PlayerModal synced its local watch-status mirror and `currentVideoId` from an effect on
`active.id`. Moving that into render is right — as an effect there was a frame per queue advance
showing the new episode's chrome over the previous item's watch state, with `navigated` still
true so the "you have navigated away" affordance flashed. But the same effect also advanced
`currentIdRef`, and that line must NOT move: useYtProgress's per-item cleanup persists the
OUTGOING item's position and guards it on `currentIdRef.current === id`. React runs every
cleanup before any setup, so in an effect the ref still names the item being left. Advanced to
render time the flip happens first, the checkpoint is skipped, and stepping next→prev back to an
item resumes from the frozen launch queue's stale position. "resumes an item played earlier in
the SAME session" caught it immediately (748 instead of 830); the ref write stays in its own
effect with the ordering written down.
The rest:
- PlayerModal's keyboard handler is a useEffectEvent, so the "bound once, reads live state"
contract is enforced instead of asserted. `focusModal` is a useCallback now — it reads a ref
and nothing else, and three hooks take it as a parameter where a fresh identity would spread.
- PlexPlayer's session reclaim called `loadSession` from inside loadSession's own useCallback,
which the checker reads as a forward reference. Routed through a ref, the file's existing
answer for exactly this (detachSessionRef, cancelAutoSkipRef).
- PlexPlayer's item-load effect excluded `prefs` by hand so a track pick from the player's own
menu would not double-load the session. The two language prefs go through a ref instead —
"latest value, not a trigger", said in code rather than in a comment.
- PlexPlayer closes its up-next card during the render that changes `id`, not a commit later.
- The one PlexPlayer directive that stays is the live session counter, whose cleanup must bump
the CURRENT value: the rule's advice to copy it into a variable is precisely wrong there, and
the comment now says why rather than pointing at another comment.
Suppressions 75 -> 70; exhaustive-deps 20 -> 17.
useHistorySubview returned a fresh object with a fresh `open` on every render. Correct, but it
made "re-run when the sub-view moves" unwriteable: PlexBrowse had three effects that wanted
exactly that and had to disable the dependency check to get it, and a fourth that listed `sub`
honestly and therefore re-ran on EVERY parent render, saved only by a ref guard.
Fixed at the source, which is where the house rule says a principle belongs: `open` and `back`
are useCallbacks and the returned object is memoised. `url` is a module constant at every call
site (PLEX_SUB_URL, MODE_URL) and the body otherwise touches only module functions, so there is
nothing left to churn on. All three PlexBrowse dep lists are now the honest ones, and the
comment that claimed `open` was "behaviourally stable" is replaced by it actually being stable.
PlexBrowse's remaining four are escape hatches, and two of them are now ONE:
- `infoScrollRef` is written from four places, and the compiler objects to a ref being modified
outside the effect that reads it. That objection is a conservative false positive — a scroll
memory needs exactly that arrangement — but four bare mutations were worth concentrating
anyway. One `rememberInfoScroll` writer now holds the "stash on the way out, reset on a fresh
page" rule, and answers the checker once instead of three times.
- The language-commit effect cannot move into render: it resets PlexProvider's filters, and a
render-phase setState may only touch the component's own state. Said so at the site.
Suppressions 78 -> 75; exhaustive-deps 23 -> 20.
Eleven suppressions across the five providers. The recurring shape here was "an effect that
undoes something when you navigate away", and every one of them ran a commit LATE — the new
page painted once while the old module's state was still live.
Adjusted during render instead (React discards that pass rather than committing it, so there
is no in-between frame):
- SavedViewsProvider reset the sticky view and closed its modal from an effect on `source`, so
the first Plex render carried the feed's sticky id — long enough for a stale view chip. It
also followed the active view into stickyId from a second effect; that one converges by
construction, since preferSticky returns the sticky match when there is one.
- NavigationProvider ended a live YouTube search from an effect on `page`. Keyed on the page
CHANGE rather than derived from it, because "ended" has to be permanent — deriving would have
quietly brought the search back on return to the feed.
- ChannelsProvider's manager focus is now simply DERIVED from the page: it means nothing off
the Channels page, and focusChannel sets it and navigates in one handler.
Honest deps by freezing what is genuinely mount-time:
- FeedFiltersProvider persisted a share link's filters with an empty dep list; listing `filters`
honestly would have re-persisted on every edit and spun. The mount value is frozen into its
own state, so all three deps are stable and the effect says what it does.
- ChannelsProvider's URL-seed layout effect and NavigationProvider's initial history stamp get
the same treatment. The three slice setters they call were already stable useCallbacks
(useFilterState / useSortState / useAccountPersistedState all return one).
- SavedViewsProvider reads `cfg` through a ref: it re-memoizes on every filter edit, and the
per-source seed guard already enforces once. That also made the set-state finding go away —
with the render value gone, the checker can see the seed for what it is.
WizardProvider keeps its one escape hatch, now inline with the invariant: auto-opening is a
one-way decision taken from server data as it arrives, and deriving it would reopen a wizard
the user had just closed.
Suppressions 89 -> 78; exhaustive-deps 27 -> 23.
Ten more suppressions, and React 19 turns out to supply the missing primitive.
useEffectEvent (stable since React 19.2, which S1 brought in) is the canonical answer to the
"bind the listener once, but read the latest values" pattern these hooks were disabling the
checker for. Three of playerModalHooks' four escape hatches become honest dep lists: the
wheel-volume handler, the native-controls handover, and the fullscreen-change sync. The
contract is no longer prose — the compiler enforces it.
The fourth stays, deliberately, and now says why at the site: the YouTube player's lifecycle
effect must run once per video (re-running destroys and rebuilds the iframe), and YT.Player
takes its callbacks as an object literal, which an effect event may not be passed into.
Fixed, not suppressed:
- useDismiss captured onClose when the popover opened, so a caller that re-rendered with a
different handler while it stayed open kept getting the OLD one called. The disabled dep list
asserted the opposite ("read fresh from this run's closure"). Both the handler and the ref
list are read through refs now; three tests, the two that matter mutation-checked.
- usePref wrapped its seed in a useCallback whose dep list had to be excused. useState calls a
lazy initializer exactly once, so the memo was saving nothing; inlined.
- useCardPager clamped an out-of-range page from an effect. Adjusted during render instead —
React discards that pass rather than committing it, so no out-of-range page is ever painted.
- plexPlayerHooks' auto-skip countdown reads its marker from the ref that already existed, so
the dep list names its real inputs. That also made the set-state-in-effect finding go away:
the progress is genuinely timer-driven, and the checker can now see that.
- useUrlMirror and useChipOverflowFit only needed their stable refs listed.
Two test-harness suppressions (a render-phase probe ref, a module-level setState handle) moved
inline with the reason they exist: both exist to observe a hook from outside without changing
what is being measured.
Suppressions 99 -> 89; exhaustive-deps 35 -> 27.
Burns the first 14 of the 113 hook suppressions. Three verdicts, applied per site:
A useEffect that should not exist (6):
- Avatar remembered "the image failed" as a boolean an effect reset on src change. The
component is recycled across items in the virtualized feed, so after one avatar 429s the
next item's slot committed the fallback initial over a perfectly good image and only the
post-paint effect cleared it. The failure is now keyed BY URL; derived state cannot be stale.
- Combobox cleared the typed query from an effect on `open`. Moved into setOpenAnd, the single
funnel every close goes through. That also stops a spurious onQueryChange("") AT MOUNT, which
told a controlled caller its own initial query had been cleared before the user touched it.
- CommandPalette reset query + picked row from an effect. Closed now means UNMOUNTED, not
hidden, so a fresh open starts blank because mounting already means that -- and the ranking
memo over every channel, playlist and saved view stops running while the palette is shut.
- Pager's page box held a copy of the page that an effect re-synced; it now derives it and
keeps a draft only while being edited.
- App's ?link= / ?oauth= / ?admin= one-shots asserted "once per mount" with an empty dep list.
The ref guard the codebase already uses in 22 places ENFORCES it, so the honest deps can
include `t` -- which a language switch legitimately changes, and which would otherwise have
re-fired the toast.
Honest deps that also fix something (5):
- App's module preload was keyed on the account id, so a permission change that alters the
module set without moving the id never re-preloaded. `preload()` is idempotent, so depending
on `me` costs nothing.
- App's access-request nudge now re-issues on a language switch; it used to stay in the old
language until the pending count changed.
- App's diagnostics effect: applyDiagnostics already no-ops on an unchanged effective level,
so picking four fields out by hand was guarding nothing and missed any field added later.
- DataTable's two filter effects: a ref holds the latest onFiltersChange so commitFilters can
be stable, which is what lets the effects name it instead of switching the check off.
Genuine escape hatches (7) moved OUT of eslint-suppressions.json into inline directives that
name the invariant at the site -- the toast handover's render-phase global, the live region's
deliberate arming tick, the docked one-slot component, the popover engine's floating-ui list
state, dnd-kit's per-drag `moved` flag, BackToTop's DOM read and the palette's debounced
announcement. A reader of the code now sees why; a JSON file no one opens does not.
Tests: Avatar (3, new file) and Pager (3) pin the derived-state frames with a layout-phase
probe -- layout effects run before any passive effect, so they read the frame the browser would
paint. Combobox (2) pins the close-clears-query contract and the no-callback-at-mount rule.
All three sets mutation-checked against the effect-based originals.
Suppressions 113 -> 99; exhaustive-deps 45 -> 35.
The compiler auto-memoises, which is the point: it infers what the app's
112 `useCallback` and 48 `useMemo` call sites were hand-written for and
applies the equivalent itself. It is on repo-wide with no opt-out list —
it bails on anything it cannot prove safe, and says so through the lint
rules. Verified in the built bundle rather than assumed: 369
`react.memo_cache_sentinel` markers across 35 of the 76 chunks.
ONE transform, shared by vite.config.ts and vitest.config.ts through
reactPlugin.ts. Not two `react()` calls: if the compiler ran only in the
production build, every vitest run would exercise code the user never
receives and a compiler-induced change would ship green — the same
gate-vs-image split 0.93.2 was released to fix. The plugin is imported
rather than named by the usual string, because a string is invisible to
knip and, worse, a typo in it is a silent no-op that ships an uncompiled
bundle, while a bad import is a tsc error.
eslint-plugin-react-hooks 5 -> 7 brings the whole compiler rule set: 283
findings, triaged rather than bulk-suppressed, because the two halves
needed different answers.
react-hooks/refs (217) is OFF. 153 of those 217 are this app's popover
architecture, not its history: 79 are @floating-ui/react's documented
`pop.refs.setReference` / `getReferenceProps` callback-ref setters, and
74 more are passing the popover handle down as a prop, which is what
components/ui's popover engine is for. Suppressing them would not help
the next popover anyone writes. The remaining ~64 are genuine
render-phase `ref.current = x` writes and are real, but the rule cannot
tell them apart here; they are E27 S2's work.
The other 66 go into eslint-suppressions.json as a ratchet — new
violations fail the gate, and `--prune-suppressions` makes a fixed one
fail too until it is removed. 45 of them are `set-state-in-effect`,
which IS E27 S2's subject, so that sprint now has a measured worklist.
react-i18next deliberately stays on 14. It never declared a React-19
peer — every version from 14 to 17 asks only for `react >= 16.8.0` — and
what the newer lines actually require is i18next 25/26 against our 23.
That is an i18n runtime migration wearing a React hat, and it buys this
sprint nothing.
Two React 19 type changes: `useRef<T>(null)` is now `RefObject<T | null>`
(the honest shape — the element is null until it mounts), so
PlexPlayerSettings' prop follows; and reactPlugin.ts joins
tsconfig.node.json's include.
The compiler skips memoising VirtualGrid and reports it: TanStack
Virtual's `useVirtualizer()` returns functions that cannot be memoised
without going stale. That is the right trade for a component whose cost
is its row window, and it is the one such site in the app, so it carries
a targeted disable with the reason — a second incompatible library
anywhere else must still stop the gate.
Nine lanes green, vitest 1558. Browser UAT on the dev server against the
still-running React 18 build as a control: boot, feed (virtualized grid,
popover menu, a filter change that moved the list 195,187 -> 64 items
with the URL mirrored, so no stale memoised UI), command palette, player
modal — no console errors on any of it.
0.93.2 shipped a week's worth of confusion about which Node this repo
runs on; the Python side had the identical shape and nobody had looked.
Prod (Dockerfile), the test image (Dockerfile.test) and CI (check.yml)
each spelled 3.12 as an independent literal, there was no
`.python-version`, no `requires-python`, and ruff had no target-version
so it judged our syntax against some other interpreter. The dev machine
had no 3.12 installed at all — only 3.13 and 3.14 — so every ad-hoc host
script ran two majors ahead of production.
`.python-version` is now the single source of truth, and the contract is
held by tests rather than by prose. It is split in two because no single
runner can see every link: the pytest suite runs inside the test image,
which mounts backend/ alone and cannot read the repo-root Dockerfile or
the workflow.
test_python_engine_contract.py : running interpreter == pyrightconfig
== ruff.toml
pythonEngine.contract.test.ts : .python-version == pyrightconfig ==
ruff.toml == Dockerfile ==
Dockerfile.test == check.yml
Together they close the loop, and the backend half carries the assertion
that pays — that the interpreter running the suite is the pinned one. A
green suite on another minor does not mean the shipped image is green;
it means they have drifted and nobody has noticed yet.
The server gate ran node:22 while the dev gate ran node:24, and the two disagree about
Intl.NumberFormat's compact currency padding and about which realm's Blob a Response hands
back — so the frontend job had been red for 73 of its last 90 runs while the local gate was
green, and nothing said so.
Align everything on 24, with `.nvmrc` as the single source of truth: the CI container, the
prod build stage, `engines`, and `@types/node` (which was two majors ahead of the runtime, so
tsc was green over APIs the shipped engine does not have). The backend job's node only runs
the checkout action, so it tracks the pin as hygiene — node 20 is EOL — but deliberately
stays outside the contract.
The pin is held by a contract test that reads every one of those places AND the engine
running it, so the next drift is a red lane on its first run instead of a CI log nobody reads.
Verified on node:24-bookworm (the CI lane: 228 files / 1552 tests, typecheck, lint,
format:check, knip all exit 0) and on node:24-alpine (the prod build stage, v24.21.0, SPA
built). Each assertion of the new test was mutation-checked red.
`expect(x).toBeInstanceOf(Blob)` asks which realm constructed the body, not
whether there is one. Under jsdom the ambient `Blob` is jsdom's class, while
`Response.blob()` hands back node's own on Node 22 and jsdom's on Node 24 — so
both assertions passed locally and failed on the server gate, for a reason that
says nothing about the code under test. `.text()` is the mirror image: jsdom's
Blob does not implement it, so reading the bytes back is green on 22 and red on
24.
Both now assert the brand (`[object Blob]`, agreed by both realms) plus size and
type. Mutation-checked in node:22-bookworm: dropping `{ raw: true }` from
`debugExport` still turns the test red, so the repaired assertion still catches
the defect it was written for.
core.test.ts also stops building its Response from a jsdom `Blob`: on Node 22
undici does not recognise it as a body and stringifies it, so the fixture's body
was the 13 bytes of "[object Blob]" rather than the zip header. A string body is
what the sibling test already used.
`{ notation: "compact", maximumFractionDigits: 1 }` leaves the MINIMUM to the
engine, and engines disagree: the same options render "$160.0M" on Node 22 and
"$160M" on Node 24 (measured 2026-09-20 in node:22-bookworm, the image the
server gate runs, against the local Node 24.17). Browsers split along the same
line, so a viewer on an older engine saw the padded form. `minimumFractionDigits:
0` makes both render "$160M"; the plain `compact` helper (vote counts) was
measured too and already agrees on both.
This is why the server gate's frontend job was red on PlexInfo since 09-17 while
the local gate was green: the two run different Node versions.
E16: a recorded debug session becomes a drafted issue with its own logs attached, sent to the private Gitea tracker or downloaded as a zip. Includes the four epic-end review rounds and the Plex player's focus trap.
Round 4 was targeted at the surfaces rounds 2 and 3 changed. 29 findings raised,
26 survived deduplication, 12 survived three adversarial readings each.
`set_delivery` renewed the claim but never checked it was still ours, while its
sibling `release_send` always did. `expire_on_commit` is off, so the token it
re-stamped came from the caller's own memory, not the row: a send that outlived
its 600 s lease came back, overwrote the take-over send's committed links with a
full-column write, and put its own dead token back. It now takes the token, reads
the row's claim with a targeted scalar (not a refresh, which would discard the
`issue_url` assigned one line earlier) and raises `SendClaimLost` rather than
writing. An issue created by a send that had already lost its claim is logged with
its number — that record is the only one that will exist.
The tracker's settings are read above the pre-call checkpoint instead of inside
`_client`. Reading them there was a SELECT one line after the commit that was
meant to end the transaction, and held it — idle, snapshot pinned — across the
repository check and the create. The comment and the module docstring said
otherwise; measuring it in pg_stat_activity is what settled it. Two more comments
were saying things the code had stopped doing: the `**state` spread does not carry
the claim (`set_delivery` strips and re-stamps it), and react-query does not
debounce the preview — the editor being unmounted is what paces it.
The composer stopped stranding the focus on `<body>`: a send that creates the
issue and then fails on an attachment unmounts the button that was just pressed,
and only the success path handed the focus on. Export no longer saves into a
refusal it does not need — the zip is the way out of a stuck send, and its
pre-save was the one step that could not survive one. The delivery banner
announces through a role instead of an `aria-live` created with its own message.
`historyState` returns a union, so `chipTone` matching on the same keys is checked
by tsc rather than by hope.
PlexPlayer was the only full-screen overlay in the tree with no focus containment
at all — Tab walked out of an opaque player into a page nobody can see. It now
carries the shared trap. Closing that hole exposed the one underneath it:
`useDismiss` registered as a layer that traps the Tab while installing no trap,
so the player stood its own down for its own menus. Measured in a real browser:
30 Tabs with the settings panel open, 9 escapes into the nav rail, and 0 after.
Escape ordering is unchanged — the panel first, then the player.
Three tests that did not hold their line: the advisory lock's call site (deleting
it left the suite green), the trail assertion whose `all()` was vacuous over an
empty filter, and a `layerStack` assertion the stand-in dialog already forced.
All eleven executable fixes mutation-checked red for the right reason; the two
comment corrections have nothing to pin.
Round 2 made the step prompt a blocking layer so that `j` and the `g` chords
would not reach the page behind it. The dialog it sits in gave up its Tab trap
because of that, while the prompt's own replacement trap covered only its own
two controls — so Tab from anywhere else in the dialog (the bar's Screenshot or
Stop, the dialog's own buttons) walked out behind the scrim. `layerStack` now
separates the two questions it had folded into one flag: a layer can own the
keyboard and still leave the Tab trap to the dialog below it. The mirror case,
a dialog opening over the prompt, falls out of the same split.
A send's claim is now a lease with an owner. Every progress report re-stamps
it, so a send slower than the lease cannot lose it while it is still running,
and only the send that took a claim can give it back. The issue_create audit
row is staged inside the send and rides the same checkpoint as `issue_url`, so
the trail cannot be missing for an issue that exists. The attachment-name
prefix has one definition, shared by the producer and both readers.
A running send is reported to the UI. A reload or a second tab used to render
it exactly like a send that STOPPED, and offered a retry the server was certain
to refuse; the composer now says the report is being sent, holds the draft, and
puts both the retry and Create issue out. The past-sessions list says the same
for the same reason — it is the list a user opens to check on a send, and both
"draft" and "half sent" describe one that died. `/preview` and the retry path
got a pace of their own, and the per-user byte cap took the user-scoped lock
that makes it a cap instead of a guess.
Verified in a real browser on localdev: Tab cycles the whole dialog with the
prompt open, the prompt still swallows the page's keys, and the issue link is
focusable where the composer puts it. All 24 regression tests mutation-checked.
The send no longer holds the session's row lock while it talks to the tracker:
it claims the session, gives the lock back, and checkpoints each step. A Stop
is never held behind a send, while a draft, a screenshot or a second send are
refused at once instead of queueing. The claim ages out, so a request that
died mid-send does not strand the session.
What the composer says is what happened: an attachment that went is no longer
named as one that did not (the missing body edit is its own line), and the
issue's screenshot count comes from the server when the list cannot be read,
so a failed read no longer blocks saving the draft. The zip is fetched as a
request, so its pace is a message and not a saved error page. Screenshots of a
finished report can be removed again; only one still being sent is held.
A recording's log elevation can no longer outlive it. The step prompt keeps
the keyboard (the page's keys stay quiet) and traps Tab itself. An image
pasted into a dialog opened over the composer stays that dialog's.
The send, the draft and the screenshots take the session's row lock, so an
autosave or a paste during a send waits for it and then sees it, and two sends
cannot open two issues. A save keeps the delivery's progress; a failed edit
that shows the screenshots is finished by the retry; an answer that is not the
tracker's API (a redirect, a proxy page) is refused, not a crash that loses the
issue's record. Only an attempt that opened an issue counts toward the pace.
Screenshots: deleting one after the send is refused, a user's storage is
capped across sessions, new sessions and zip exports are paced, images are
stored uncompressed in the zip. One liveness rule, one session view, one image
type table.
Logging: a session's elevation is tracked apart from the user's own, so the
browser's own requests (no header) no longer lower the floor a session needs;
Stop ends it at once.
Composer: an image pasted anywhere is taken; what is still unsaved is saved on
close, and "saved" is shown only when it is; the draft is held while it is
sent; a failed screenshot read says so instead of reading as none; focus moves
to what stays; the preview follows the text size. Pill: the step prompt and a
running Stop survive the pill moving between hosts, the prompt keeps the
dialog's Tab trap, the toast region lets clicks through, other tabs hear of a
Start or Stop, the last seconds are sent before the cap, a capture with no
frame is an error.
- admin config group "Bug reports": Gitea address, repository, token (secret),
and "Check the connection" — the repository must answer, take issues and
be PRIVATE (a report carries its reporter's log); checked on every send too
- POST /api/debug-sessions/{id}/issue sends the SAVED draft: create the issue,
upload each file on its own request (the measured API), then show the
screenshots inline; progress is kept in the draft, so a send that stops
half-way keeps its issue and the retry sends only what is missing; 5 new
issues an hour per user; audited as issue_create
- the composer: Create issue (only where a tracker is set up, naming the
repository), a partial-send banner with retry, and a Preview — the tracker's
own rendering in a sandboxed frame, or the zip's markdown without one
- the recorder's refusals answer in the localized family (debug_session_*,
screenshot_*, issue(s)_*), not bare codes the UI could only call generic
- a tracker refusal logs the status only: its message can quote the title back
After Stop (or at the cap, or from Settings → Diagnosztika's past sessions)
one dialog drafts the issue: title, description, the steps drafted from the
session's markers and page changes (a marker without a label is named by its
time), the environment (version, browser, system, window, language). Beside
it, what goes with it: the browser and server logs — each reviewable line by
line, an unticked line is not sent — and the screenshots, removable, with
paste / drop / pick to add more.
- it saves as it goes (debug_sessions.draft, migration 0090): the rendered
markdown in the user's language, the excluded rows, and its own fields to
reopen as it was; a sent session is read-only
- the zip export (issue.md, client.log, server.log, screenshots) is built
from the saved draft by app/issues/bundle.py — the one definition the Gitea
delivery (S4) will share; .log, not .jsonl, which Gitea refuses
- the log line's level tags and clock move to components/logLineParts so the
review list draws a level the way both log viewers do
- the start dialog is the consent: level (Részletes/Teljes), what is recorded,
retention and the cap (now served as diagnostics.session_minutes)
- the pill docks under the toasts: elapsed time, Step (an optional label,
its own Escape layer), Screenshot (tab capture where the browser has it),
Stop; compact on a phone
- while recording, lib/log tags every event and every request path (req,
beacon, uploadReq via one identityHeaders) names the session; applyDiagnostics
raises the level for the session's run and never lowers a raised one, and
lapses at whichever ends first
- Stop sends what is waiting before the server closes the session; the cap
says so and opens the composer
- Settings → Diagnosztika and the command palette start/step/stop it
- the evidence leaves the log upload's own request lines out
- the step shortcut is deliberately palette-only: the keymap's D1 rule bars a
new modifier chord, and a bare letter collides with the players'
The toast stack already has a host in the page and in every overlay (dialogs,
both players, the fullscreen player), the topmost one shows it, and inside an
overlay it sits above the player's control band. lib/toastDock lets one control
use exactly that placement; it renders outside the live region, so a ticking
control is not read out every second.
A session is one recording, capped at 60 minutes by the server. While it is
open, a request naming the caller's own session in X-Debug-Session is logged
at the session's level with every line tagged; a header naming anything else
is ignored. The browser's batches count a session as consent to its level and
keep the tag only on its own events. Screenshots are judged by their bytes,
capped in size and count, and served back to their owner only.
- debug_sessions / debug_screenshots tables, one open session per user
(partial unique index), log_events.debug_session_id indexed
- /api/debug-sessions: start (joins a running one), stop, list, get, events,
screenshots; /api/me reports the live session
- the hourly log job closes expired sessions and drops them with the logs
- logsink.serialize and routes._common.capped_body shared by their readers
