ExplorePage → explore-page.js (static import), LoginPage/RegisterPage/
FirstRunPage → auth-page.js (static import, LoginPage receives onLogin
as a prop), CreateGroupPage/wizard → create-group-page.js (lazy-loaded
via dynamic import(), same pattern as AdminPage/NodePage).

app.js goes from 1803 to 914 lines. webapp.py _ASSETS extended with the
three new files and the previously missing extracted pages. Test fixtures
updated to follow the moved components.

<title>feat: add Photos group app</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2fcdd07d1e5d331ad02b723f1c45603a0989c264</id>
<content type='text'>
A new group application (docs/apps.md's plug-in mechanism), following the
plan in docs/photos.md. Unlike Videos/Music: several photo roots per group
instead of one (photo_roots is a set, one signed op replaces it whole),
a single album-grid view with no third-party matching step, and per-photo
info read from the file's own EXIF at index time — no metadata service,
no credential, no outbound network call at all.

Protocol (meshbay-common, MNP 0.10 -&gt; 0.11, additive): `taken_at`/`camera`
on IndexEntry; `photo_roots`/`photo_roots_ack`; `OP_PHOTO_ROOTS`.

Node: roster.py stores photo_roots as a group_settings entry (JSON list,
same shape as enabled_apps); ops.py/webrtc_server.py validate and sign the
whole set in one op, same pattern as apps_enabled; a new PhotoEnricher
(indexer/enrich_photo.py) runs Pillow in its own small bounded pool,
separate from the video/audio pools, producing a resized thumbnail plus
the two EXIF fields — never GPS, checked by a grep-based regression test.

Client: photos-app.js — one album card per directory containing images,
a per-album photo grid, and a lightbox with next/previous (keyboard and
buttons), zoom in/out/fit/100% starting from the actual on-screen fit
percentage, and a "zip this album" button reusing files-app.js's own zip
mechanism (lifted into file-utils.js's downloadDirectory so both call the
same implementation). group-settings.js gets an add/remove multi-root
picker, distinct from Videos/Music's single-value one.

Bugs found and fixed before this ever shipped, worth keeping the story of:

- enrich_photo.py read width/height from the raw image *before* applying
  EXIF orientation correction, and read DateTimeOriginal off the plain
  0th-IFD Exif object — a real camera stores it in the Exif sub-IFD, which
  Pillow only exposes via get_ifd(Exif). A flat, hand-built EXIF dict
  round-trips through Pillow either way, which is exactly what would have
  hidden both bugs; the regression test builds EXIF with piexif instead,
  matching what real hardware produces.
- photos-app.js's album grouping stripped a trailing path segment from
  entry.path under the assumption it still carried a filename — it
  doesn't (files-app.js's own convention: e.path is already the
  containing directory), so every album collapsed one level into its
  parent. Found live against a real multi-folder library.
- transport.js's ADMIN_OP_TYPES allowlist (already the fix for an
  identical bug on video_root/apps_enabled, see 4783d81) was missing
  photo_roots: its admin_challenge matched no pending request and was
  silently dropped, so saving a photo root just timed out after 30s with
  no error.
- daemon.py pruned a thumbnail when its file left the index (root removed
  or reconfigured) but never forgot the content hash was "already
  attempted" — the same bytes reappearing under a renamed/relocated root
  (an operator's real workflow) were then permanently skipped, forever,
  with nothing to indicate why. Discarding the attempt alongside the
  cache entry on prune is what makes pruning actually reversible.
- packages/meshbay-client's app:// protocol handler served every file
  with no Cache-Control header, so Chromium was free to serve a stale
  cached copy indefinitely — none of several `npm run sync-ui` + reload
  cycles during development actually picked up the new code until the
  renderer's disk cache was cleared by hand. Now sends Cache-Control:
  no-store.
- the lightbox's zoomed image used flex centering (align-items/
  justify-content: center) combined with overflow: auto — a well-known
  trap where the browser centers overflowing content by shifting it, and
  the leading half of that overflow (here, the top of a zoomed photo)
  sits outside what the scrollport can actually reach. Reported live as
  "unusable". Fixed by switching to top/left alignment once zoomed.

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

Implements the client half of docs/musicbay.md against MNP 0.8:

- music-app.js: album grid (grouped by artist -&gt; 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.

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

<id>urn:sha1:6af05abf410bbd038ce7fa6915a659defc509071</id>

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.

<title>feat(hub): split the group UI into a pluggable "applications" architecture</title>

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.

<title>test(hub): a hook that depends on one declared below it never runs</title>

`const a = useCallback(fn, [b])` evaluates `[b]` where it is written, so a `b`
further down the component is still in its temporal dead zone. ReferenceError on
every render, before anything the component does can run — and the symptom is
the component simply not appearing. Clicking a video did nothing at all: no
picture, no error on screen, nothing in the node's log because nothing was ever
requested. It reached production.

Nothing caught it. `node --check` passes, the code is well-formed. Worse, the
MSE harness extracts the player functions into an order of its own and therefore
*reordered* them before running — quietly repairing the one class of defect it
was best placed to catch. It sorts by position in the file now, and
test_hook_ordering.py checks the property directly across the whole SPA. Both
the rule and the harness are checked against the layout that actually shipped.

test_video_seek.py covers the rest of seeking, and window_leak.mjs forces the
race that made the third seek hang: the whole in-flight window arriving while
`reinitAt` is still awaiting. Before, the player is left believing eight
segments are in flight and grants nothing; after, the window comes back. A run
that happens to work proves nothing about a race, which is the point of forcing
the worst case rather than trusting a longer session.
