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

style: the 98 ruff could not fix, so the linter is a signal again

2026-09-19T12:39:38Z

The pass before this applied ruff's own fixes. These are the ones needing a decision, and the point of doing them is that `ruff check .` now passes: a linter reporting 98 known-acceptable findings reports nothing, because the next real one arrives invisible. **Lines over 100 (70).** Mostly wrapped where they stood. Two exceptions: the aligned trailing comments in `protocol.py`'s message table were shortened rather than wrapped, because wrapping one row of a table breaks the table; and in `models.py` the column comments moved above their columns for the same reason. **Imports below the first statement (14).** `csam.py` kept its FastAPI imports under a section header halfway down the file; two node tests had a constant and a `pytestmark` wedged between two import blocks. Moved, not suppressed. **Bindings nothing reads (4).** Three in tests, where the call stays and only the name goes — `_user(client, "listener")` is there to create the user, not to return one. The fourth was in `revocation.py` and was not a lint finding at all: `_connect_and_listen` opened an httpx stream to the WebSocket URL, did `pass`, and then opened the real connection through the `websockets` library. One pointless request per connect, left over from before that library was used directly. Removed, and `httpx` with it. **`l` as a name (4)**, **semicolons (6)** in the POC spikes, and the rest. 2893 passed, the same count as the two commits before it. `meshbay_node/revocation.py` is worth a decision separately: 154 lines that nothing imports, superseded by `hub_client.maintain_ws`'s `on_revocation`. This commit only stopped it failing the linter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

docs: cite MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and a section instead of the merged notes

2026-09-19T00:12:47Z

The per-feature design notes were merged into docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and deleted from the tree on 2026-09-11, but ~230 comments across the three packages still named them — usually written `docs/musicbay.md §3.2`, as though the file were still in docs/. A reader had to know §16 existed to resolve any of them. They now name the section directly. Every mapping comes from §16, the concordance, which already records where each old section landed: musicbay -> §9.8, mediacenter -> §9.7 for the Videos app and §6.5 where the subject is derived data, photos -> §9.9, auth-confirm -> §3.6, refactoring-search -> §9.11, invite-pairing-v1 -> §3.4, per-node-identity-v1 -> §3.2, captcha -> §7.7, chat-sender-keys -> §4.5, apps/refactor-groups -> §9.1–§9.4, desktop-client-v1 per section. Bare citations of the same documents (`draft-v6 §2.11`, `§4.8`, `§3.4`) are retargeted too: those collide with real section numbers in the design document, so leaving them would have been worse than the named form. Four cases the concordance does not cover, each decided rather than guessed: Sub-item references into documents that no longer exist — mediacenter's `§3.3 row 4`, `§3.4b/c`, `apps.md §3b` — name rows and sub-items §9.7 and §9.2 do not reproduce. The module-level citation stays; the sub-item pointer is dropped. The V-findings keep their labels but lose the dead `§10.1/` prefix. §13.8 lists V1–V13 as per-application open items, which is not what the labels mean in these comments, so pointing them at §13.8 would have been a false citation. `apps.md §5`'s virtualization requirement has no counterpart anywhere in the design document. The requirement is stated in the comment itself, so the citation is dropped rather than aimed at a section that does not say it. Comments that attributed a *sentence* to an old note — musicbay's "several thousand files" example, its "what got measured" note, its measured ~11%/~26% cover-art figures, the "original no root, whole shared tree" call — state the fact without attribution now. §9.8 does not contain those sentences and citing it for them would have been wrong. CLAUDE.md's "a reference to a document that no longer exists" row now says the concordance is for git history and out-of-tree material; the code cites sections directly. Verified: 2851 passed, 4 skipped. The 12 errors in the run are the Firefox leg of test_sticky_header.py's browser harness, which is broken at the browser level on this machine — headless Firefox (snap) dies with `[GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer`, renders nothing, and the probe exits `{"error": "no measurement"}` after its full 90s wait. Chrome runs the same 12 assertions in 3.2s and passes. Nothing here can affect it: every changed line in style.css is inside a comment. Also checked: ast.parse on every changed .py, `node --check` on every changed .js, the /* */ balance in style.css, and that no changed line exceeds the width its file already used.

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

music: play, play next, add to queue

2026-09-16T09:01:02Z

The player's queue could only be replaced: every onPlayQueue reset tracks/order/pos together. It becomes one reducer (queue-ops.js) with an `op`, because two appends batched into one tick cannot both read the track count out of separate useStates. A shared pop-up menu (menu.js) carries the three verbs, on right-click and on a dots button. A track row is now a div holding two buttons: a button cannot contain a button. Found by the browser probe: both music wrappers took two arguments and forwarded two, so every "add to queue" arrived as a plain play. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

feat(hub): Videos and Music list their cards a page at a time

2026-09-15T15:01:06Z

Previous/next arrows in the pinned toolbar, on group pages and in Search. Page size is an account preference (Settings → Defaults), 50 by default, 10 to 200 in steps of 10. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

feat(hub): pin the app controls while a library scrolls

2026-09-10T08:29:12Z

Files, Videos, Music and Photos are read by scrolling, and everything that steers that reading left with the first screenful. Three bands now pin under the navigation bar, in a group and on the Search page alike: the tab bar (the search field, on Search), the application's own toolbar, and the file table's column heads. The group's name and description still scroll — they say nothing a reader needs while walking a directory, and the height they would cost is height the list does not get. A band's offset is the heights of the bands above it, and those are not constants: the toolbar wraps to three rows on a phone, grows a field while a folder is being named, and loses its filter on Search. So each band measures itself and publishes `--chrome-h` / `--toolbar-h` (static/sticky.js) and the stylesheet does the arithmetic in calc(), rather than a number written down twice — the fault CLAUDE.md already records against this layout twice over. A band publishes height *plus its own bottom margin*, and paints that margin as a ring of page colour, so the pinned layout is pixel-identical to the flow layout and nothing shifts at the moment a band pins. Three overflow faults came out of it, all of the same class and all of them what "the header does not stay" actually meant on Android — a document wider than the screen leaves everything pinned attached to a viewport the reader can no longer see, the navigation bar included: - a directory's name cell was a bare , so an unbreakable folder name (`Rage_Against_The_Machine_Discography_1992-2000_FLAC`) set the column's minimum: a 527px table in a 390px window - Search's group column did the same at 442px with an underscored group name. It also goes entirely below 768px, where there is no room for it and the breadcrumb already names the group - the shared-directories table has four columns of controls with a combined minimum near 440px, none of it compressible. On a phone the row stops being a row: the name and its eject/remove pair on one line, the two switches — each carrying the column head's own string as a label — on the next - and, found by measuring at 360px, the tab bar itself was 19px too wide `.file-table` moves to separated borders: a collapsed border belongs to the table rather than to the cell, so the column heads lost their rule the moment they pinned. Measured, not read. tests/harness/sticky_header_probe.py drives the shipped GroupPage and SearchPage against a stub node, walks to each application, scrolls to the end and reports every rectangle — 11 views x 4 widths x 2 engines. Its fixture says what real data says: the first version used `note-007.txt` and `un groupe`, which fit any screen, and found none of the above. A fixture narrower than real data tests the fixture. Also: `test_desktop_shell` no longer looks for the CSP after the first `-->`, which made it fail on correct markup as soon as a comment was added above it, and `search-page.js` joins test_hook_ordering's file list.

feat(client): HelloWorld, the reference application

2026-09-06T22:48:55Z

Every other test of the plugin architecture reads source for the *absence* of app names. That proves nobody wrote a special case for Videos; it cannot prove a genuinely new application works, because there was no new application. This is one. It stores directories, appears as a tab, has a settings pane and lists files, and the node has never heard its name outside a single allow-list entry. Two files and one registry line, which is the claim `docs/refactor-groups.md` §4.1 makes. It ships hidden behind `?dev=1` (`dev: true` in the registry, the same opt-in shape as transport.js's `?trace=1`). Registering it normally would put a toy app in every operator's group; not registering it would prove nothing, since registration is exactly what is claimed to be sufficient. **Adding it found two places where the claim was nearly true rather than true, and both are fixed by making the code less app-specific:** `group-settings.js` fell back to the whole registry when a group had no `enabled_apps` yet — which would have turned a hidden app on for everyone. It asks `availableApps()` now. `group-page.js` wrote out `videoDirectories` / `musicDirectories` / `photoDirectories` by hand, so a fifth app would have needed that file edited. It derives `Directories` from the registry. Neither was found by reading; both were found by adding the app, which is the whole reason it exists. Verified in a real Electron window as well as by the tests: hidden by default, present with the flag, offered its own settings section, and listing exactly the files under its configured folder and its subfolders — not the ones beside it.

feat(client): Phase 2 — per-app settings panes, folder tree, multi-directory

2026-09-06T17:03:22Z

Each app's settings were inlined in `group-settings.js` — TMDB, MusicBrainz, and one folder picker per app, each with its own draft state and save handler saying the same thing about a different key. They are one file per app now, reached through the `apps.js` registry, and the page that renders them names no application at all: adding one is a registry entry and a settings file. The line between the two is what makes that true. What every app has — folders — the page does generically, through one `saveDirectories` bound to the app. What one app alone has, its pane does itself with the transport it is handed. An app that only needs directories touches neither `group-settings.js` nor `group-page.js`, which is `test_app_settings_plugin.py`'s subject. `settings-ui.js` exists because a pane importing the page that renders it is a cycle, and ES modules answer that with a temporal-dead-zone ReferenceError at first render — a component that silently does not appear, the fault already recorded in CLAUDE.md about hook ordering. The flat depth-indented `
