fix(hub): poll for a root count change instead of trusting one fetch

2026-08-24T22:29:03Z

Point 1 (directory list not updating without a full page reload) turned out to still reproduce after the earlier onRefreshIndex fix — that one addressed the Videos/Music root pickers (nodeDirs), but this section's own list reads a different field entirely (ops.list_groups returns the *runtime* root set, groups_ctx[gid]["roots"]) that only gets replaced once _reload_config_inner's retarget actually finishes. /api/reload itself is fire-and-forget on the node by design (ops.start_reload's own docstring — a brand-new group's initial scan can take minutes, the caller must not block on it), so a single loadNodeInfo() call right after can land in the gap before that replacement happens and show the pre-change count. Both the add and remove handlers now poll /api/groups (up to ~4s, every 400ms) until the root count actually matches what the action should have produced, rather than fetching once and hoping the timing worked out.

fix(hub): make root-folder save success/failure actually visible

2026-08-24T21:35:09Z

Flagged directly: "Saving" ran for a few seconds then just stopped, with nothing telling the operator whether it had worked. Both outcomes used the same dim .settings-hint styling, so a real failure and a real success looked identical at a glance. Success and failure are now tracked separately (previously one plain string held either) and rendered with the same success-msg/error-msg styling already used elsewhere on this page, so which one happened is unambiguous.

fix(hub): refresh directory list after adding/removing a shared root

2026-08-24T21:09:13Z

Folders (unlike files) only ever arrive over MNP as part of a full index_sync — the ongoing index_delta push has no `dirs` field at all (daemon.py never puts one there for incremental updates) — so a directory added or removed via the Electron-local add/remove flow never showed up in the Videos/Music root pickers until the whole page was reloaded. The merged Directories section made this easy to hit: add a shared folder, then immediately try to pick it as a root, in the same visit. Both actions now call the same onRefreshIndex a chat upload already uses to pick up its own effect on the index.

feat(hub): audio_root wiring, mutually-exclusive players, Settings rework

2026-08-24T20:44:27Z

Five related pieces of polish against the Music app and Settings, all from the same conversation: - Music app now requires audio_root, same as Videos requires video_root: an empty-state message until one is set, and grouping filtered to only what's under it (underAudioRoot, mirroring video-app.js's underVideoRoot). Wires the new audio_root/audio_root_ack pair through transport.js and group-page.js state the same way video_root already flows. - Starting one player now stops the other — opening a film closes the music queue, starting a track closes the video modal. Both used to run at once, found live. - Group Settings reworked: every section but a bare form (invite, pair-operator, approve-device) is now collapsible (CollapsibleSection); the uploads on/off button is a real toggle switch (ToggleSwitch, reused for TMDB/MusicBrainz's enabled switches too, each now with an icon + status badge in its header instead of a plain checkbox row); and shared directories, the Videos root picker, and the new Music root picker are merged into one "Directories" section (RootFolderRow) instead of three separate ones scattered down the page — the root pickers only show once their app is actually enabled.

feat(hub): Music app client — album grid, flat list, persistent player

2026-08-24T15:39:41Z

Implements the client half of docs/musicbay.md against MNP 0.8: - music-app.js: album grid (grouped by artist -> album, from index-time artist/album fields) or flat folder view, per-group localStorage toggle like Videos. MusicBrainz (music_meta_req) is only looked up when a track has no embedded cover at all — well-tagged files never trigger a network call, unlike Videos where TMDB is unconditional. Reuses video-app.js's MediaThumb/LazyTile (now exported) rather than duplicating the chunk-path thumbnail decode + virtualization. - music-player.js: the persistent player bar — queue, shuffle (Fisher- Yates, keeps the current track in place when toggled), repeat (off/ all/one), volume (localStorage), prev/next, a one-track prefetch cache. No MSE, no node-side streaming: a track is downloaded and decrypted once via file-utils.js's pipelinedDownload, same chunk pipeline Files already uses, then played from a blob URL. - group-page.js: owns musicQueue/musicbrainzConfig state and renders MusicPlayerBar outside the tab-switched area — deliberately, so playback survives navigating to Chat/Files, the same reasoning the video/preview modals are shell-owned rather than app-owned. - apps.js: registers "music". transport.js: fetchMusicMeta (keyed by path, same reordering-hazard fix as fetchMediaMeta), setMusicbrainzConfig/setMusicbrainzEnabled (signed ops, mirroring TMDB's), and the three new ack handlers. group-settings.js: a MusicBrainz settings section (contact string, per-group toggle) — the existing Applications checklist already picks up "music" for free, per apps.md's own claim. - icon.js: music/pause/skip-next/skip-prev/shuffle/repeat/volume, drawn in the same stroked style as the existing set. - i18n: group.tab_music, the music.* and settings_node.musicbrainz_* keys, translated (not just copied) across all ten locales, Polish carrying full one/few/many/other plural forms for music.n_tracks. - webapp.py's _ASSETS, test_hook_ordering.py's STATIC_FILES and test_transport_contracts.py's SPLIT_FILES gain the two new files. Full suite (common + hub + node): 1116 passed, no regressions. `npm run sync-ui` in meshbay-client confirmed both files copied.

fix(node,hub): HEVC transcode fallback, live-add progress, per-group TMDB toggle

2026-08-24T13:57:41Z

Three bugs found live testing the Videos app against a real HEVC/EAC3 show, plus a design change requested afterward: - Streaming always did "-c:v copy", which faithfully reports a source's real hev1 codec string but is unplayable in a browser with no HEVC decoder (most Chrome/Linux builds). The node now transcodes to H264 whenever the probed codec is browser-incompatible (media_probe.py's new BROWSER_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_CODECS), with a `transcode_incompatible_video` node.toml opt-out for operators who know their viewers already decode it. - Dropping a whole season into an already-watched folder gave no scanning indicator and no progress bar: IndexProgress was only ever updated by the two bulk scan paths, never by the real-time per-file watchdog path (_schedule_update/_debounce/_update_entry). That path now accounts a "burst" the same way, without double-counting a file rewritten mid-debounce. - A stray literal "0" rendered in the video detail modal when there was no TMDB match (`meta.confidence` is 0, and `0 && x` renders "0" in JSX/htm, not nothing) — `confident` is now a real boolean. - Whether TMDB is used at all moves from a node-wide setting to per-group (OP_TMDB_ENABLED/tmdb_enabled/tmdb_enabled_ack, scoped like OP_VIDEO_ROOT): an operator running a real media-library group alongside test/demo groups on one node wants outbound TMDB traffic for the one that needs it, not all of them. The custom API token and query language stay node-wide, one shared credential/cache (tmdb_config/OP_TMDB_CONFIG, unchanged reasoning). MNP_VERSION 0.6 -> 0.7, additive.

feat(node,hub): season-specific overviews, manual TMDB match correction, and wizard polish

2026-08-24T12:33:20Z

Two operator-facing fixes for a real 3-season show whose automatic TMDB match was wrong at the show level: per-season overview/air_date tabs in the detail modal (falling back to the show-level text when a season's own is empty), and a "Fix match…" search-and-correct affordance that re-resolves every file sharing the corrected show's display_title. New signed op OP_TMDB_OVERRIDE and two read-only pairs (season_meta_req/resp, tmdb_search_req/resp), MNP_VERSION 0.5 -> 0.6. Also: the create-group wizard gets a spinning indexing indicator and an app-selection step, group settings default the TMDB language to the operator's own locale (never as a global default), and a file renamed mid-session now re-triggers title parsing instead of being silently skipped by the enrichment dedup guard. Fixes two bugs found during this work: the search overlay's z-index lost to the base video-overlay class and rendered invisibly, and season_meta's own empty overview didn't fall back to the show-level one.

feat(node,hub): add Videos group app (poster grid, flat list, TMDB metadata)

2026-08-24T08:04:46Z

Implements docs/mediacenter.md: a "Videos" group application built on the existing files index rather than a separate catalogue. On the node side, new indexer enrichment (technical probe, filename/season parsing, thumbnail generation) runs per-file once an operator has chosen a video_root for the group, plus a TMDB client for on-demand poster/metadata lookups (never client-side, thumbnails delivered over the existing chunk path). On the hub side, a new video-app.js renders a lazily-mounted poster grid or a thumbnail-only flat list, with TMDB entirely optional per group. Along the way: the global apps registry now drives Settings' default-tab picker instead of a hardcoded list, and the video_root is configured from group Settings (like uploads) rather than from Files, with the node refusing to run any TMDB/thumbnail work until one is set. Fixes several bugs found via live testing against a real library, notably a race between two effects writing the same "image ready" state that could leave a poster grid spinning forever on a same-tab revisit — see mediacenter.md §5.4 for the full account of each one.

feat(node): persistent index cache, visible scan progress, adaptive reconcile, and delta sync

2026-08-23T19:55:20Z

Indexer performance work, in four parts: - Persistent (path, size, mtime) -> hash cache (indexer/cache.py) so a node restart no longer re-hashes every file — measured at 23 minutes for a 114 GB library on a slow disk before this, near-instant after. Hashing is deliberately kept sequential (max_workers=1): it was never actually concurrent despite the pool size, and two interleaved reads seek-thrash a spinning disk instead of going faster. - Byte-based scan progress (IndexProgress), surfaced via the loopback index-status route, the handshake ack, and a periodic INDEX_PROGRESS push to connected peers — drives a progress bar in the Create Group wizard and "add a directory" in Settings, and an animated presence dot. Guaranteed to settle back to idle via try/finally and a final push on the scanning->false transition. - The reconcile backstop's directory walks now run in the executor instead of blocking the daemon's event loop; its interval defaults to 10 min (was 60s) with adaptive backoff to 2h when nothing changes, reset on a real change or a peer connecting, and is now a per-group operator setting (signed op + group Settings UI). - INDEX_DELTA wired up (protocol support existed, nothing called it): _on_index_change now sends additions/deletions instead of rebuilding the full entries list, coalesced over a short window so a burst of file events produces one push, and the hub swarm registration for public groups only (re-)registers newly added hashes. Also fixes several bugs found while testing the above against real libraries (a 114 GB and a 100+ GB group on a USB HDD): - /api/reload blocked until the reload — including a brand-new group's full initial scan — finished, which the Electron bridge's fixed 30s call timeout turned into a hard failure on any real library. The route now fires the reload without waiting (ops.start_reload), matching add_root/remove_root's existing pattern; the wizard's own step order was fixed to wait for the group to actually appear hosted before the steps that need it (extra roots, GEK), with retries for the residual race between that and the daemon's own bookkeeping. - transport.js's hand-rolled msgpack codec had no case for uint64/int64 (0xcf/0xd3) and crashed decoding any message containing one — hit by IndexProgress.scanned_bytes/total_bytes for any group over ~4.3 GB. Verified against real msgpack-encoded bytes from the Python side. - chat_hist_resp, and this change's own index_progress and set_scan_settings_ack pushes, were not routed by message type and could be handed to an unrelated pending request by the transport's "oldest pending" fallback, stalling it until its own 30s timeout and corrupting whatever received the wrong reply in its place.

feat(hub): split the group UI into a pluggable "applications" architecture

2026-08-23T13:15:35Z

GroupPage's 6620-line app.js carried Chat and Files wedged in directly, with no way to add another group-level app without touching the shell itself. It is now app.js (routing, non-group pages) plus nine focused files — apps.js (the registry), chat-app.js, files-app.js, video-player.js, group-page.js (the shell), group-settings.js, hub-client.js, icon.js and file-utils.js — with docs/apps.md as the checklist for adding one (Videos/Music/Photos are sketched there, not built). Node side gained the matching enablement mechanism, mirroring member_upload exactly: a roster setting, a signed apps_enabled op enforced by _has_admin_authority, exposed in the handshake ack. Operators toggle applications per group from Settings, which also gained a small reorder: Invite, Pairing, Applications, Shared directories, Uploads, danger zone, Your devices, Members. Two bugs surfaced during the split, both missing an import across the new file boundary and invisible to node --check or a module-load probe since they only throw when the code path actually runs: - group-page.js called onRefreshAuth on a stale-token handshake rejection, but app.js never imported refreshAccessToken from hub-client.js — so a brand new member (including a group's own creator) hit "Not a member of this group" and the retry silently failed, throwing before it could refresh the token. - chat-app.js called getLocale() for message timestamps without importing it from i18n.js. Opening Chat on a group with real messages threw mid- render; uncaught, that appears to wedge Preact's render scheduler, so every button on the page stopped responding until reload. Caught the second class of bug with a proper no-undef audit across all split files (a temporarily installed ESLint 9, since the system one is too old to parse this codebase's syntax) rather than trusting grep. 827 tests pass; 6 new ones cover the apps_enabled policy.
