A /watch link is opened by whoever it was sent to — signed out, often on a phone on mobile data —
and it booted through main.tsx: every app provider, the app's i18n (every locale of every area),
the flag sprites, ~392 KB gzip before the player could start. It now has its own HTML entry,
watch.html → watchMain.tsx, which imports WatchPage and what it renders; the server hands every
/watch/ path that page (the OG block injected as before), and vite dev does the same.
Measured on the build: /watch JS 290 → 87 KB gzip, CSS 104 → 19 KB; the app's own bytes unchanged.
Two leaks had to go for that: lib/format imported the app's i18n for one "just now" string (the
relative-time formatters now take `t`, like the file's other t-formatters), and the boundary's
crash copy came from the same i18n (CrashBoundary takes its copy; ErrorBoundary is the app's
wrapper, the watch entry gives it the page's own strings). The page's popover tree went too: it
renders no popover.
Held by: a contract test walking the entry's runtime imports, naming the path to anything only the
app may load (red on a planted i18n import in lib/format), and holding watch.html's head equal to
index.html's; a DB-lane test that every /watch/ path gets the player's page with the link's OG tags
and app paths get the app (red on the old routing). Screenshots at 375 px, EN and HU, video / audio /
password / gone / wrong password / unlocked: identical to the old entry's, bar the video's buffered bar.
The code cited its plan instead of saying why: `E28 review J4`, `(R6 S3b)`, `S1 justified…`,
`deep-review round 5`. That plan lives in the private ops repo, so for every reader of this one the
citation was noise, and a sentence whose subject was the plan step ("round 2 showed…") hid its
lesson behind an id. Each one is gone and the "why" kept: a bare citation is deleted, a sentence
carrying a lesson is reworded around it ("a later attempt showed…").
Measured (`scripts/audit_metrics.py`, product code): 652 lines in 270 files carried an epic code by
the definition the next commit holds (507 / 241 by the old, two-digit-only one) -> 0. Across all
code, tests, scripts and configs: ~1100 epic-code lines plus ~320 sprint/round ids.
Behaviour unchanged, checked mechanically: every changed .py file has the same AST once docstrings
are blanked; css/sh/toml/yml/json files are identical once comments are stripped; the only
non-comment changes in TS/JS are test titles, one description string in a contract table, and five
ESLint messages, whose text is all the gates snapshot diff holds. Not touched: Markdown (docs and
the changelog keep their history), Alembic migrations, TV episode notation (`S2 · E5`), DESIGN.md
ids (`C1`, `B4`, `S3h`), tracker ids (`SEC-16`, `DX-17`).
One stale claim fixed on the way: test_hls_reaper's docstring said the player checkpoints "every
10 s whether or not it is playing", which plex/stream.py calls wrong; it now says what the code does.
The demo account — one shared user that whitelisted emails entered from
the login page, reset on a schedule — goes end to end (owner decision,
E34): demo.py and the reset job, users.is_demo and demo_whitelist
(migration 0098 deletes the demo user, its audit rows, the reset job's
override and notices, then drops the column and table; the downgrade
restores the empty schema), the /auth/demo entry, the admin whitelist and
reset, the Demo tab, the banner, the login page's "Try the demo", and
every is_demo branch in routes, userscope, scheduler and the UI.
require_human only ever refused the demo account, so its 87 uses become
current_user (owner-approved); require_write_scope keeps its own check.
The login page's "or" divider now shows only beside the Google button:
without the demo entry under it, an instance without Google would have
said "or" to nothing.
A contract test (removedFeatures) fails on the word anywhere in the
backend, frontend, e2e or scripts — seen red on a planted hit. Size
ceilings tightened for the modules that shrank; admin.py is back under
the limit.
- Nav rail page rows are real links (/?page=<id>): a middle-click or
Ctrl-click opens the page in a new tab; a plain click stays in-app.
- A fresh channel page shows the unwatched videos; a picked watch state
is a remembered preference (channelShow).
- Users: the role, suspend and delete move into the row's one menu
(the "…", right-click, Shift+F10); locked ones keep their reason.
- Audit log: back-to-back successful runs of one job fold into one row
that opens to the earlier ones; a failed run reads in the danger colour.
- DESIGN.md decision log: the E31 picks.
Every locale formatter takes the language as an argument. Under the React
Compiler a formatter that read the i18n singleton was memoized on its other
arguments, so a card kept "2 hr 4 min" after a switch to Hungarian; plexLang()
had the same flaw and left Plex queries in the old language. Components now
take the language from useTranslation, and the signature makes forgetting it
a type error.
- ratings, file sizes, stream stats: the language's decimal mark ("8,3")
- view and subscriber counts compact in the language ("1,2 E")
- seconds as the language's unit ("6 mp") in the sliders and the stats
- a person's birth and death dates as dates, not ISO strings
- A-Z lists by the shown name in the language's alphabet (compareText),
the tag catalog re-sorted by its translated names
- lint local/locale-format (was date-format) also refuses Intl.NumberFormat
outside lib/format.ts, localeCompare, and a component reading the language
off the i18n singleton
The layer was the name button's own and ended at the row's first badge or button. The card now paints
the B3 layer under its content (isolate + a new z-under level), the name button's hit layer spans the
card, and the actions sit above it.
The 43 react-refresh/only-export-components warnings the gate let through meant an edit to a
provider (or AnchoredPopover, Toaster, plexDetailUi, …) could not be hot-swapped: Fast Refresh
reloads a module that also exports hooks or helpers.
- Each provider's contexts, the types its hooks return and the hooks themselves live in a sibling
context module (navigationContext.ts, channelsContext.ts, …); the provider file keeps the
component. loadAccountFilters moved next to the feed filters' defaults (feedFiltersInit.ts),
following navigationInit/playlistsInit.
- Helpers that sat in component files have their own modules: welcomeMode, downloadTitle,
plexPlayable, channelSync, ui/anchoredPopoverHooks, ui/pageToolbarSlot, ui/pagerContent,
ui/toastLevels, ui/overlayOrder, ui/tableAlign, lib/plexDetail; the cells of the channel columns
and the registry's page wrappers are components files of their own (channelCells, modulePages).
- usePersistedTab, an alias of useAccountPersistedState, is gone; its callers use the original.
npm run lint is now eslint --max-warnings 0, so a warning fails the gate like an error does.
A right-aligned column at the end of every Users & roles row says how long ago the
account signed in, with the exact moment as the hint and as a line in the account
panel; a dash where nothing is recorded, and the demo account says it is not recorded.
formatDateTime formats that moment in the UI language rather than the browser's.
`req` opens its blocking dialog for 400/409/422/5xx only. A 403/404/429 was left to the caller and a
502-504 or lost connection got just the self-clearing connection notice, so 34 mutations without a
reporting onError and 15 direct api writes with a bare or missing catch failed in silence: a hidden
channel that snapped back, a share link that never revoked, a confirmed account delete that ended
with nothing said.
- lib/queryClient: one MutationCache reporter. react-query awaits it BEFORE the mutation's own
onError, so it waits a task and skips a failure the site already reported; the toast title comes
from `meta.failTitle`, `meta.errorShownInline` opts out.
- notifyActionError: title names WHAT failed, the line under it says WHY (`failureReason`: a
structured localized detail, else the status). It marks the error reported (`markReported`), so
nothing reports one failure twice; `notifyKnownFailure` for a site's own specific sentence.
- Every silent site named (45 new HU/EN titles, 4 reasons). Stale "the global dialog shows it"
comments corrected on the job actions, channel block, Plex sync, cookies, download enqueue,
account delete and usePref.
- Channels passed the tag hook's channel id to the reporter as the error; the tag and priority hooks
now report themselves, with the real error.
- A contract test keeps every useMutation naming its failure; CLAUDE.md gains the pattern row.
- history.dom.test: the "navigates only once the entries are back" assertion raced an async act's
macrotask flush (1 in 5 runs); it now asserts from a later popstate listener.
Deep-review round 4, the "one report per failure" contract round 3 introduced.
- `req` marked gateway (502/503/504) and network failures "already reported" because they raise
the connection notice. But that notice is about connectivity and removes itself on the very next
answer — which every caller's own resync refetch fetches at once — so a delete that hit a
keepalive reset flashed the notice and was then reported nowhere, the list still there. Only the
durable reports (the error dialog, the 401 sign-out) count now; the caller says the action failed.
- A connection notice the user closed swallowed every later one for the rest of the visit; it is
raised again.
- `req` and `uploadReq` share one failure policy (`reportFailure`). The upload copy had drifted: a
502 opened the blocking "Server error (502)" dialog and cleared a notice that was still true.
- A taken Plex collection name is a structured 409, localized, and the create/rename calls are
quiet: it was an English dialog plus a Hungarian toast. `notifyCollectionEditError` is gone.
- The mutation onErrors that toasted unconditionally after a non-quiet request (invite approve /
deny / add, demo whitelist, audit clear, scheduler, share, full history, edit, config tests, tag
attach) go through `notifyActionError`; the playlist delete's hand-rolled copy of it too (it takes
a level now). The user role / suspend / delete actions had no onError at all: a user deleted in
another tab failed silently and stayed listed — now said, and the list refetched.
