test(hub): read the transport wherever it is split

2026-09-25T10:07:49Z

spa_source.transport_files() takes the classic transport*.js scripts from the hub's shell, in load order. Every test that read transport.js reads them all, the Node harnesses run them joined as one scope, the chat probe loads each, and the desktop shell must load them in order.

feat: embedded subtitles in the video player (MNP 3.3)

MSE decodes no in-band text track, so a subtitle cannot ride inside the fragmented MP4 the player is fed. The node extracts one track whole, converts it to WebVTT and caches it under its own hash; the client pulls that blob through the ordinary file_req/chunk path and hangs a on the video element — the same indirection as a TMDB poster or an audio transcode, which is what makes a film's subtitles extracted once in the life of the file rather than once per viewing. Whole-file also makes the cues absolute, so a seek and an audio-language change both leave the track untouched. **The ordinal counts every subtitle stream, including the ones never listed.** Only text codecs are offered: a bitmap track (PGS, VOBSUB — about a fifth of a real library) has no path to WebVTT without OCR, and one extracted anyway yields a header with no cues, which is a menu entry that shows nothing and reports no error. Numbering the survivors of that filter would give a PGS/SRT/SRT file the ordinals 0 and 1 for its text tracks and `-map 0:s:0` would then extract the PGS — the same trap `AudioTrack.ordinal` exists for, one level deeper. A fixture whose first subtitle stream cannot be decoded pins it, and the handler checks membership of the probed list, never a range. Additive and MINOR: the selector is drawn from `subtitle_tracks` in the node's own `stream_init` and from no version number, so `subtitle_req` is never sent to a peer that would not answer it. The floor stays at 3.0. Also here: a failed extraction never touches playback, a superseded reply cannot install its blob over a newer choice, and `_languageName` is shared with the audio labels — lifted by both label harnesses, since a lift that names one function stops covering the rule the moment logic moves out of it. Tests: 9 node (tracks told apart by the words in the extracted cues, not by tags), 10 client. Full suite green: 1545 node/common, 1252 hub.

feat: let the viewer pick the audio track

The streaming path mapped 0:a:0 unconditionally, so a dubbed film played in whichever language was muxed first and the others were unreachable. The node now enumerates the tracks in stream_init and honours audio_track in stream_req; switching is the seek path, since one ffmpeg carries one track. MNP 3.2, additive: the player draws its selector from the node's own list and never from a version number, so an older node is never asked for a track it would ignore. MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED does not move. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5
