<id>urn:sha1:8c780b9928db8145b7fe18ecd137384ccfe25d8f</id>
<content type='text'>
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>
<content type='text'>
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>fix(node,hub): always transcode video audio to stereo AAC, never copy</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b6e2dcea65124673da047f9b3c92bc5e25980d63</id>
<content type='text'>
MSE only decodes AAC/Opus, so copying a source's real audio codec left
non-AAC files silently unplayable in-browser (E-AC-3 additionally made
ffmpeg itself refuse to write the fragmented MP4 header). Audio is now
always transcoded to AAC and downmixed to stereo — multichannel AAC is
accepted by ffprobe/VLC but silently rejected by some browsers' MSE
decoder once real fragments are appended, which forces the SourceBuffer
out of its MediaSource with no explicit error. Video stays copy-only.

Also: report a clear client-side error instead of a bare STREAM_END when
ffmpeg exits nonzero before producing any output, add video-element/
MediaSource error logging on the client for the next time this class of
bug needs diagnosing, and fix a hub test that had grown too broad a scan
window after an earlier, unrelated transport.js change.

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

<id>urn:sha1:9f02ee2c09652abf1308bdfa4a3eec4e9ca9ac83</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

- test_transport_contracts: CreateGroupPage was refactored into a
  routing wrapper; assertions now read CreateGroupFormSimple
- test_task_lifetime: _spawn now uses an _on_done wrapper instead of
  a bare self._tasks.discard callback; assertion checks both parts
- test_video_buffer_ceiling: target the real updateend handler, not
  the settled() utility; add awaitingInitRef to the MSE harness scope
- test_video_seek: silence debug console.log in window_leak harness
  so it does not pollute the JSON output

<title>feat(node): the operator can close uploading to everyone but themselves</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b86981f7b4ffe758136a527542ce256315823a46</id>
<content type='text'>
A group where every member may add files stays the default. Some groups want a
library the operator curates, and until now the only way to get one was to
designate no upload root at all — which refuses the operator too.

**The node enforces it; the interface merely stops offering it.** The Upload
button in the Files toolbar and the paperclip in the chat composer both
disappear, which is a courtesy to the people who are not trying. The control is
`_do_file_upload` refusing with `member_upload_off`, so a member on an old tab,
or one speaking MNP directly, gets the same answer. There is a test for each,
and the enforcement test is in the node package rather than beside the UI one so
nobody reads the hidden button as the mechanism.

**Changing it is a signed operator instruction** — `OP_MEMBER_UPLOAD`, on the
same path as removing a member. An unsigned one would let any member turn it
back on and make the setting a suggestion. The transcript's subject is `on` or
`off`: what the operator is shown before signing has to name the outcome, not
the operation.

**It lives on the node**, in a new `group_settings` table in `roster.db`. Not
the hub, which has no business deciding who may write to someone else's disk.
Not `node.toml` either: that file is hand-written and full of comments recording
decisions, `ops.py` appends to it rather than round-tripping it through a
writer, and a setting toggled from a panel must not rewrite the operator's file
or need a restart. The value is cached in the group context because the upload
path is synchronous, and the signed operation updates both — storing it without
applying it would make the panel say one thing while the node did another.

**Absent means allowed**, at every layer: no row in the table, no key in the
context, no field in `handshake_ack`. An older node and an older client both
behave exactly as before, and upgrading never silently closes a group. Each of
those three has its own test, because they fail independently.

The operator is always exempt — otherwise turning it off locks them out of their
own node with a config file and a restart as the only way back. `is_node_admin`
was being computed in two places by then and is now one function, since two
copies of "is this the operator" is how the ack and the gate come to disagree.

A change reaches everyone already connected via `member_upload_ack`, so the
button goes without a reconnection. That message is both a broadcast and the
reply to the request that caused it, which is why the client does not return
early on it.

Docs updated for a cold start: draft-v6 §2.1b and change 9, a new "Where Phase
13 stands" section in CLAUDE.md recording what is built, deployed and still
missing, the module map row, and desktop-client-v1 §10b on the Settings tab and
where group settings live.

883 tests pass.

<title>fix: the chat tab no longer scrolls, and a group is listed or invite-only</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.meshbay.org/meshbay.git/commit/?id=cd2e89f5f5cccdb116db4fcb82d00b6325972782'/>
<id>urn:sha1:cd2e89f5f5cccdb116db4fcb82d00b6325972782</id>
<content type='text'>
**The chat tab was 8px too tall, at every window size.** The panel is sized from
JS to `viewport - top - 16`, which puts its bottom 16px above the fold — but it
sits inside `.main`, which adds 24px of padding below it. Eight pixels of
document past the window, whatever the window. Measured at 700, 900 and 1200:
`scrollHeight` 708, 908, 1208.

This is the second one of these — the sign-in card was `.page-center` and
`.layout` each reserving `100vh - 52px` — so it is now measured in the suite
rather than reasoned about. `tests/harness/scroll_probe.py` renders the real
markup against the real stylesheet and **runs the real `fit()` lifted out of
`app.js`**: a copy of the formula in a test would go on passing after the
original changed, which is exactly the bug being guarded.

The fix does not encode 24 anywhere. The first pass runs as before, then the
leftover is measured and taken off, so anything added below the panel later is
absorbed the same way. Now `scrollHeight == innerHeight` at all three heights,
nothing below the fold, and the panel still fills the room it has — that last
one has its own test, because shrinking the chat to 240px would satisfy every
other assertion here and be useless.

The Settings tab was measured too and is **not** a bug: it fits at 1200px and
overflows only when its content is genuinely taller than the window.

**Group creation asked one question twice.** Visibility and admission were
separate selectors that could only ever be set together — picking Public reached
over and set the policy — and two of the four combinations are meaningless. The
API already refused public+invite with a 422, so the form could build a request
that could not succeed. Private+open was accepted and should not have been: a
group anyone may join that nobody can find is a listing with the listing
removed, since joining goes through the node and there is no link to pass
around.

So: one selector, "who can join", and the request derives the rest. The API now
refuses the other impossible pair as well, with a message that says which way to
resolve it. Six locale strings the visibility box owned are deleted rather than
left unread in ten files, and the two surviving descriptions now say what each
choice means for who can *find* the group — with the word "public" gone from the
page, nothing else would have said it, and someone would publish a group without
meaning to.

865 tests pass.

<title>fix(ui): name the section after its button, drop the folder slash, colour the widget</title>

**"Zone sensible" said nothing.** The heading is now the name of the action in
it — "Quitter le groupe", or "Supprimer le groupe" for the owner, who sees a
different button. Worth stating because it is not quite what was asked for: a
fixed "Quitter le groupe" would have sat above a delete button for whoever owns
the group. The red goes with it; only the button is red, which is where the
warning belongs. `members.danger_title` is gone from all ten locales rather than
left behind unread.

**A folder name no longer ends in a slash.** The folder icon in the cell beside
it already says what it is.

**The transfers widget turns green while transfers run.** The badge counts them,
but a count has to be read; colour is what carries from across the room, which
is the point of a widget in the nav bar rather than on the page. Derived from
the live list on every render, so there is no state that can forget to clear
when the last transfer ends.

The class is set in `app.js` and coloured in `style.css` — either alone does
nothing and neither fails loudly, so there is a test for each half.

848 tests pass.

<title>fix: two waits with no deadline, resume positions per account, group settings tab</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eedbca3f0d47af39b4dd8812683e5a14ae4e48e6</id>
<content type='text'>
**Joining a group could hang.** Reported after a first attempt that never
finished and a later one that worked — the shape of a network wait with no
deadline, and there were two.

Signaling here is non-trickle: the offer is not sent until ICE gathering says
it is done. A STUN server that is slow, filtered, or resolved through a DNS that
is not answering means `icegatheringstatechange` never reaches `complete`, and
`connect()` never returns. Same shape as the fullscreen denial fixed yesterday:
a promise that never settles leaves no error to find. Gathering now has four
seconds, after which the offer goes out with what it has — host candidates are
already there, which is enough on a LAN, and giving up instead would turn a slow
STUN server into a refusal to connect.

The second: `hub:fetch` in the desktop client had no timeout, so a host that
accepts a connection and then says nothing holds the request for as long as the
OS allows. `hub:probe` had one; the handler that carries signaling did not. Now
thirty seconds — longer than the hub's own fifteen-second signaling wait, so it
cannot abort a call that was about to succeed — and it says the hub did not
answer rather than "fetch failed".

**Resume positions belonged to the machine, not the account.** Stored as
`mb:pos:&lt;file&gt;`, so a second account signing in on the same computer was offered
"resume where you left off" in a film it had never opened. Wrong on its own
terms, and a small disclosure of what the other person watches, since the offer
only appears for files someone has actually been through. The account is in the
key now. Positions written before this are deleted rather than re-keyed: there
is no record of whose they were, and guessing hands them to whoever signs in
next, which is the bug.

**The staggered rules in the members table.** `display: flex` on the actions
`&lt;td&gt;` — a flex table cell stops being a table cell, so it no longer stretches
to its row and its bottom border is drawn wherever its own content ends.
Measured: in a row whose other cells were `top 76, height 40`, that cell was
`top 77, height 30`, its rule nine pixels above the rest. It is a table cell
again, held open by a zero-width strut so the owner's row — which has no remove
button — stays as tall as the others. Every cell now shares its row's top and
bottom exactly, at 420px and 900px.

**Members became Settings.** It was a list with three unrelated forms stacked
above it, laid out with inline styles on whichever element needed them, and the
group's own controls somewhere else entirely — leaving or deleting a group sat
in the page header beside the title. Now one tab in sections: invitations,
operator pairing, your devices on this node, leaving or deleting, and the roster
last, since it is the only part with no upper bound.

One consequence worth stating: the tab bar no longer waits for the node.
Membership is hub-side, and gating it on a live connection would have made
"leave this group" unreachable exactly when a node is down — which is when
someone most wants it. Files and chat still need the node and say so.

**A download button in the viewer**, beside the close button and in the same
style, for both the video player and the file preview.

844 tests pass.
