fix: read the node token per call and detect before polling the index dock

2026-10-05T07:33:45Z

node:op only knew the daemon's token once a page had called detect(), and kept it after the daemon replaced it on restart: the index dock stayed empty on a node machine until the Node page was opened, every operation answered 401 after a node restart, and on a machine without a node each 30 s poll was a rejected IPC call Electron printed to the terminal ("Node not detected"). node:op now reads the config and token from disk on every call, and the dock asks detect() before its first operation and after any failure.

feat(cast): music on the TV, the music bar as its remote

2026-10-05T00:29:27Z

A cast button in Music's toolbar and in the music bar. With a television chosen, each decrypted track goes to the relay with its cover — found as the album card finds it — and plays there as music with its title, artist and album; the bar's play, pause, seek, previous and next drive the receiver, its clock is the receiver's, and the end of a track there moves the queue on. A film or a photo taking the television pauses the bar; stopping the cast carries the track on locally. Photos and tracks now share one path: a whole file sent to the relay in pieces (binary frames on Android, written to disk there), served at /file with byte ranges and its cover at /cover, and loaded as what the relay says it is. cast:image is gone; cast:chromecast:seek is new.

feat(cast): photos on the TV, and a television chosen once for the session

2026-10-04T23:16:12Z

A cast button in Videos' toolbar, at the top of Photos, in an album's bar and in the lightbox, in a group and in Search alike. A television chosen there is kept for the session: a film opened plays on it with the player as its remote from the start, and a photo opened in the lightbox is shown on it, scaled to 1920x1080, upright, as JPEG. The lightbox gains a slideshow. The relay serves one photo at /image behind the stream's token, on the desktop and on Android; the shell, not the page, decides that the receiver loads it as a picture.

feat(android): music keeps playing with the screen off

2026-10-04T20:46:00Z

While a track plays, the page asks the shell to stay awake (playback:keep-alive): on Android the cast's foreground service and visible WebView, with a notification; on desktop a power save blocker. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Cast: receiver position and pause/play on both clients

2026-10-03T12:24:54Z

The player's remote mode reads where the television is instead of the local playhead, which drifts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(client): no confirmation dialog for adding a folder or its flags

2026-10-02T08:32:18Z

Removes confirmFolder (addRoot, attachGroup) and the writable confirmation added in e4f6177, with their two catalogue keys. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

feat(mnp): sharing a folder is decided on the node's machine only (MNP 6.0)

2026-10-02T08:20:09Z

root_add, root_update and group_attach leave MNP: adding a directory and switching writable/removable go through the loopback API (native dialog in the desktop app) or the CLI. The operator's Settings tab still lists the roots from any browser, read-only. The desktop app refuses to sign those ops; a loopback flag change now reaches open pages (publish_roots).

feat(client): list cast receivers as they answer

2026-10-02T06:39:56Z

The scan still runs six seconds, but the picker polls what it has found and shows each receiver immediately. A rescan no longer has its timer cut short by the scan it replaced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(client): rotating a group key asks nothing

2026-10-01T13:52:08Z

Rotation narrows rather than widens: members still connected receive the new key, and nothing already shared changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

fix(client): hosting a group asks nothing when its folder came from the picker

2026-10-01T13:49:42Z

The folder chosen in the native picker is the consent; the dialog that followed on every group creation asked the same thing twice. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5
