Clicking the scrubber now restarts the stream there. A seek inside what is
already buffered never reaches the node. Dragging is debounced at 350 ms,
because `seeking` fires continuously and each one acted on kills an ffmpeg and
spawns another.

`SourceBuffer.mode` changes from 'sequence' to 'segments', and each stream sets
`timestampOffset` to where the node says it started — otherwise a stream
beginning at forty minutes is buffered at zero and the scrubber lies about
everything. Proved in Chrome before any of it was written: abort, remove, offset
600, append, and playback resumes at 600 with `readyState` 4.

A seek makes the buffer discontinuous, and everything reading `buffered` then
has to mean a particular range. "The last one" stops being "the one playing":
the read-ahead would report a full buffer across a gap while the player starves,
and the eviction would take out everything between the first range and the
playhead, including what is showing. Both work from the range around the
playhead now. `reinitAt` also clears the buffer outright rather than keeping two
ranges, and calls `abort()` first — ffmpeg was killed mid-fragment, so the
parser holds half of one and the next header would land on top of it.

The position is kept in localStorage, per file: no protocol, no storage anyone
else has to keep, and nothing new learns what you watch. Not below thirty
seconds, not past 97% of the film, and a pill offers the beginning back.

Two things this had to get right and did not at first, both found by running it
rather than reading it. Between asking for a seek and its `stream_init`,
everything on the channel belongs to the film being left — same file, so
`file_id` cannot separate them, but ordering can. And a segment that arrived is
no longer in flight whatever is then done with it: discarding one before
decrementing the window leaked a slot every time, and `reinitAt` is
asynchronous, so a whole window could arrive while it waited. The player then
believed eight segments were in flight, granted nothing further, and the node
waited for credit that could not come — a race, which is why the same seek
worked twice and hung on the third.

<title>feat(hub): chat, presence, a Profile page, and downloads that do not freeze</title>

Chat opens on the newest hundred messages, loads fifty older on demand with the
reading position anchored — the distance from the *bottom*, since everything
above the viewport just grew — and follows new messages only when the reader was
already at the end. Day separators, sender grouping, an unread marker, and a
jump-to-latest pill. Messages are keyed by id: index keys plus prepending makes
Preact reuse the wrong bubbles.

A presence dot per group in the sidebar, three states, each backed by something:
the hub's registry, or a connection this browser made or failed to make. Never
colour alone — red and green are the pair colour-blind readers cannot separate —
so each dot carries a title and an aria-label.

Profile is split out of Settings: identity, node link, pinned node identities and
account deletion. Mixing them put an irreversible button two scrolls under a
theme picker. The create-group page loses its centred 520 px card, which left
190 px of margin either side, and its two button panels become a radio group —
a button conveys no chosen state to a screen reader, and side by side they read
as two independent actions rather than one either/or.

The Files toolbar shows its actions as icon buttons the moment Select is on,
disabled when they do not apply rather than appearing and vanishing. On a phone
the right-hand group could not wrap and ran 130 px off the screen.

Streamed downloads no longer freeze after one chunk. `registration.active` says
a worker exists, not that this page is controlled by it — and an uncontrolled
page's requests never reach its fetch handler, so the worker took the stream and
was never asked for it, leaving `writer.write()` waiting on backpressure that
would never lift. The page now requires control and the worker confirms it
actually served the request before the sink is trusted.

Fixed on the way: `setActionsOpen` outlived the state it belonged to and threw
on every Files action; the chat scrollbar stopped short of the bottom; the
owner's row sat lower than the rest; About showed a version hardcoded two
releases ago.

<title>feat(hub): translate the web client into nine more languages</title>

French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese,
German, Italian, Dutch and Polish, all in the formal register. `hub`,
`node` and `GEK` stay in English: they name the CLI, node.toml and the
docs, and translating them would cut the interface off from everything an
operator reads and types.

Catalogues move out of i18n.js into locales/, one file per language,
fetched with a dynamic import. A visitor downloads their language plus
English as a fallback — about 36 KB rather than the ~180 KB that ten
inlined catalogues would have cost everyone. i18n.js keeps only the
loader, so the first render now waits for initLocale().

Three things the old code got wrong, none of them visible until there was
a second language:

- Resolution trimmed a tag to its base before matching, so a browser
  reporting pt-BR looked for a `pt` catalogue that does not exist and fell
  back to English. Matching is now exact first, then by base language.
- Counted strings were single strings, so Polish could not express
  1 plik / 2 pliki / 5 plików at all. t() selects through
  Intl.PluralRules; en.js gains the same treatment, which incidentally
  fixes "1 files".
- Interpolation used String.replace, which reads `$&amp;` in the replacement.
  A file named rap$&amp;sody.mp3 rendered corrupted in its own delete dialog.

Five strings were still hardcoded in app.js — the group name placeholder
and the four visibility/join-policy descriptions — and are now keyed.

test_locales.py holds the nine translations to the shape of en.js: same
keys, a counted string stays counted everywhere, every plural entry covers
each category Intl actually produces for that language, and the
{placeholders} survive translation. Verified failing first, against a
catalogue with a key removed, a placeholder dropped and the Polish `few`
form deleted.

The language menu also grew from one entry to ten, which overran a short
viewport inside a dropdown that clipped instead of scrolling.
