fix: ask in the page instead of native confirm/alert

2026-09-21T17:53:33Z

A native confirm() or alert() leaves the desktop client unable to type until the window is refocused. ask.js draws both in the page; the SPA test now bans all three browser dialogs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

playlists: promise the count that holds when nothing compresses

2026-09-16T15:51:19Z

The ceiling is 1200 tracks on a library that repeats and 660 on one that never does; the message said 1000, which would send a reader back into the wall at 660. It says 500, measured at both ends. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

playlists: refuse a body no frame can carry, and say which one

2026-09-16T15:47:00Z

A DataChannel send() throws above the max-message-size the node advertises (aiortc: 65536), so the 1 MB body cap was unreachable and each body push swallowed the difference in a bare catch. Cap at 62 KB after sealing, name the playlist in the sync result, keep syncing the rest. Measured: 1000 tracks seal to 53 276 bytes, so the ceiling is ~1200. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

playlists: make the writes actually leave the browser

2026-09-16T14:07:18Z

Reported from a phone: signing in with the same account showed no playlists. syncWith was called from exactly one place in the interface, so creating a playlist, deleting one, removing a track and saving the queue all wrote to IndexedDB and stopped there. The store pushes itself now, coalesced, so a new mutation cannot forget to. Silence was the real defect. The node audited only successes, so a refusal left no trace and user_blob_list none at all; the background push swallowed its reason; the interface said nothing. All three report now, and "Sync now" says what happened either way. An unreadable blob on a node was treated as a fetch failure and returned before the push — permanent, once the node held anything. It is an absence: the client is the authority, and it gets overwritten. A sign-in reconciles whatever this browser already holds, a pending push is flushed when the page goes away, and a push that did not land is retried once. no_key is spelled out: a client that signs in with its remembered device key only ever has a bundle key persisted before the playlist subkey existed, and an AES handle is non-extractable.

music: the playlist menus

2026-09-16T10:10:25Z

One button in Music's sticky toolbar — load, create, delete, remove a track, sync now — and "add to playlist" on every cover and row. Both surfaces share one list, read from the manifest, so they open instantly with every node offline and no body is fetched until one is wanted. Submenus expand in place rather than flying out: the account menu's language list already does this, and a flyout has nowhere to go at 400px. The tracklist under "remove a track" loads when it is expanded. A name is typed into a field. Electron has no prompt — it throws. Also splits the two playback failures: a decode failure belongs to that file and keeps the bounded counter, a connection failure belongs to the group and skips all of its queued tracks at once. Six dead tracks are one more than the bound, which is where a playlist would otherwise stop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5
