fix(hub): stop Search-view video posters flickering to spinners

2026-09-01T12:48:13Z

The cross-group "Search files" view caps its WebRTC connection pool at MAX_POOL_SIZE but pre-connected every indexed group, so any account with more groups than the cap thrashed the pool. An evicted transport was never removed from SearchPage's own groupConns map, so every tile of that group kept a `_tRef` pointing at a closed transport; MediaThumb and useMediaMeta bail on a disconnected transport with no retry, so posters rendered for a moment then fell back to a loading spinner for good. Every connect also fired the module-wide bumpMediaMetaGeneration(), clearing every mounted tile's metadata across all groups and flickering the whole grid through the warm-up walk. A one-group account (grenet) never hit it; a many-group account (cbesson) always did. - ConnectionPool takes an onEvict callback; SearchPage prunes groupConns and rebuilds the entry lists when a connection is evicted or closed. - MAX_POOL_SIZE 3 -> 12; the pre-connect walk is capped to it. Groups past the cap connect lazily when a tile scrolls into view (onNeedConn). - connectGroup() no longer fires the module-wide meta/thumb generation bumps on a normal connect (kept for operator TMDB override/rematch). Per-group gen counter + concurrent-caller guard: a group's tiles refetch once per (re)connect, not once per mounting tile. - MediaThumb/useMediaMeta take an optional reloadKey; each group's `_connGen` is threaded through so a tile refetches when its group reconnects instead of staying stuck on a spinner.

fix(hub): show the Files refresh button only on the Search page

2026-08-30T13:19:15Z

In a real group the node streams every index change to connected clients as it happens (onIndexSync / onIndexDelta), so a manual re-fetch button there just duplicates the live push. The cross-group Search page has no such connection — its file list is a one-shot cached fetch — so the button belongs there and only there. Gated on a new explicit `showRefresh` prop that only search-page.js passes; `onRefreshIndex` stays in commonProps for ChatPanel's own use after an attachment upload.

fix(hub): wire the Files refresh button on the Search page

2026-08-30T08:50:51Z

The refresh button (added in 1cb9054, left of the breadcrumb home icon) was gated on `onRefreshIndex`, which the Search page's embedded FilesPanel did not pass — so it never showed on the one page it was asked for. The Search page now passes an `onRefreshIndex` that re-runs its all-groups index fetch (the only cache it has); the existing progress bar is the feedback. Unchanged in the normal group Files view.

feat(hub): drop the Search page title, add a Files refresh button

2026-08-29T15:35:20Z

1. The "Search Files"

is removed from the search page — it duplicated the nav and cost a line of vertical space on mobile. `search.title` is dropped from all ten locales (its only use). 2. A monochrome refresh button sits left of the Files breadcrumb home icon. It calls `onRefreshIndex` (re-fetch the group index from the node — the file list is a view over a cached copy with no other way to pull a fresh one), spins while in flight, and only renders where an `onRefreshIndex` is wired (the real group view, not the cross-group search results). New `refresh` icon; `group.refresh_index` in all ten locales. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018BMLQjqFGCize2KtNBT79v

fix(hub): 10s connect timeout in search page, error on unreachable download

2026-08-28T15:29:32Z

Search-page connections (indexing and pool) now time out after 10s instead of the transport's default 30s, so down nodes are skipped faster. Downloads show a user-facing error when a group is unreachable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6

feat(hub): search downloads, photos view, pre-connect optimization

2026-08-28T14:11:46Z

Downloads from search: FilesPanel accepts a getTransport callback for cross-group file downloads. Select/Download are available in search; delete and zip are hidden (readOnly). Each download connects to the entry's group via the pool on demand. Photos view: PhotosApp reused in search with the same pattern as Videos/Music — synthetic root, per-entry transport refs, group badges on album cards. Lightbox uses per-entry transport for full-resolution image fetches. Zip download hidden in search context. Pre-connecting: connections to all groups start as soon as indexing finishes, regardless of the active view. Thumbnails cache across pool evictions, so they're ready when the user switches views.

feat(hub): cross-group search with reuse of existing views

2026-08-28T13:35:58Z

Search page fetches indexes from all groups, then renders consolidated entries through the existing FilesPanel, VideoApp, and MusicApp components — no reimplemented views. Groups appear as top-level directories in the file browser; video/music entries use a synthetic root with per-entry transport refs for thumbnails and metadata across groups. Music player lifted to app.js with getConnection(groupId) for cross-group playback. Connection pool (max 3, LRU eviction) manages lazy WebRTC connections. All 10 locales updated with search keys.
