- One server per app run (loopback, no password); Invite attaches an
all-interfaces listener to the same server and Stop sharing detaches
it (guests told with 4016); members, media and Up next never reset.
No solo mode: you're home on your own server unless in a friend's.
- Navigation: none / yours / friend; a join passes a version gate on
/health first (clear "they/you need to update", update offer).
- Invite as a value (host, port, name, password flag, version, fp
reserved); addresses filtered (loopback, link-local, 198.18/15,
bridges) and ranked; Sharing chip, Copy invite, Stop sharing.
- Alone looks like a plain player (alone replaces solo).
- AppGraph builds and disposes systems; widgets use AppScope;
SessionState deleted; a test caps the remaining singletons.

Server and core: version ranges on both sides with a coded refusal; a
client id maps to the same member and token for the server's life; a
drop is `gone` for a 10-minute grace keeping ready, presence, queue
items, relay and avatar; `bye` leaves at once; ordered takeover (seq,
replaced/stale); presence joining/in/away/gone with one PresencePolicy;
joiners never pause playback and hold a held gate at most ~15 s;
state.hold; feed ids, seq and replay; the relay lives through its
source's grace and continues on re-dial; queue `by` lasting, auto
items and cancel; MediaRef carried; client ids never logged.
App: persisted client id and seq; Connection with unstable/lost/
replaced states, backoff with jitter, no lost/back pair per flap; a drop
keeps the session (state, player, media, relay source); presence in the
strip and members card; sit out = away intent; feed matched by id;
auto sit-out (idle when not playing, minimised for a while; never when
alone) replaces auto-unready; bye on close and Leave, not on update
restart; relay source re-dials through its grace.

- Linux app id dev.foxyz.starsync, binary starsync; Windows starsync.exe,
company foxyz; server starsync-server; Dart package starsync; archives
starsync-<ver>-*.
- 1.2.x compatibility: watch_together and watch-together-server
launchers (Linux) / copies (Windows) in the archive; the updater
accepts both names and relaunches the new binary; update.sh/.bat use
whichever server exists.
- First start copies (never moves) the old support folder and this
app's Hive boxes out of ~/Documents into <support>/hive; a marker
makes it run once; AppDirs is a port; settings schema version with
ordered migrations.
- Launcher entry dev.foxyz.starsync.desktop; the old one removed.
- Repository name and URLs unchanged.

Every app streams its redacted diagnostic lines (server time, batched
every 10 s, gzip, buffered while offline) to POST /l/; the server merges
them with its own into session-YYYY-MM-DD.log in time order, tagged by
who. Opt-out in Settings > About; Mark a problem (Ctrl+Shift+B, the
player menus, About) writes a marker with an optional note. Copy
diagnostics can include the server's session log. Chat text never
reaches any log.

Ready gate: whoever is in the server while it is not playing counts (joining
while playing does not pause anyone); a swap counts everyone present and
keeps ready flags; the quorum rule is gone. Optional 'Unready when the
video changes'. No 'Skip 1:30' guess when the media has chapters.
Drag & drop and Ctrl+V anywhere (fox_utils): files, folders and links get a
small card asking how to open them. Files series start collapsed.
UI: Tab never moves focus and Space is always ready outside text fields;
chat focuses its field; unread badge on uosc and a chip in fullscreen;
people-only chat with an Activity toggle; skip pills show 5 s then with
the controls; volume up to 150%; own avatar same size as the party.
