- What's next is the server's: state.advance counts down (10 s) when the
media finishes with an Up next item first, holds while its performer or
warm source is gone, and sets queuePlay at its end; cancel is shared, a
seek or swap ends it; the server skips items nobody can put up. Shared
rules in core whats_next.dart; the app's janitor, per-screen countdown
and end-of-episode card are gone.
- The continuation (next Jellyfin episode, next file of a local show
with its gaps) is an auto item under "Continues with", prepared like
Up next's first item.
- Watch tracking by time In (D3): only time played while this viewer is
in counts; away, paused, held, jumps and stalls never do (P7, P9).
WatchTracker + device WatchHistory (files, links); Jellyfin progress
reads the same watch; records are the AniList seam.
- A server restart no longer loses what played: apps hold their media
and one offers it back (swap.restore, first offer wins), Up next is
re-added, the source re-feeds, and the watch carries on.

Flutter >= 3.38 keeps its EGL contexts on the raster thread, so
media_kit's video output found none on the platform thread and fell
back to software rendering (no shaders, ~5 fps) on X11. The patched
output opens Flutter's EGL display itself, steps GDK's GLX context aside
on X11 and releases its own context. Patch from a friend's agent, kept
in third_party/media_kit_video/starsync/. Wayland/NVIDIA still renders
on the GPU (checked); the X11 path was verified on the friend's machine.

- PlayerHost port (MediaKitHost): players by role, pins, hwdec policy,
render probe, log routing, disposal order; the only media_kit user.
- MediaPipeline: plan (one pure switch over state, origin, caps,
presence) -> resolve -> open (prepared player promoted, else fresh)
-> ready; commands queued during a switch apply once (P15); viewers
play the buffer and wait for a dropped source without seek loops (D6).
- Every web page resolved by our yt-dlp into an EDL with headers and
cookies (danmaku excluded); mpv's ytdl_hook no longer used (ytdl=no).
- D11: sign-in errors say which cookies were used and whether they hold
any for the site.
- Relay: 256 KiB slices read as they fill, superseded pulls released
(seek-to-play ~4.2 s -> ~2.8 s, P29); own Jellyfin relay channel only
when someone needs it (P28).
- STARSYNC_SMOKE run and a Windows CI smoke step after the build.

- L1 (core, offline): release names with kinds (episode, movie, extra:
OP/ED/Opening/Ending/NC/PV/OVA…), folder hints (season and name from
parentheticals, ranges), one show across folders, gaps and next with
skipped numbers, junk ignored, stable keys.
- L2 (app, device-owned cache): AniList match with synonyms and
sequel walking, episode mapping across cours (AnimeFlow runs when
signed in), art and episode titles, "Wrong show?" pins per show or
folder, episode offsets; lazy, spaced requests, works offline.
- Files tab as a library: poster cards, show pages with banner, gap
prompt, extras, movies, Wrong show? and Episode numbers.
- media.ref produced for local files, Jellyfin (provider ids) and links,
carried in swaps and Up next; receivers name media from it.
- Hosting relays each Jellyfin item through its own server's login.

- 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.

- Status: computed from connection, presence, hold, relay, player facts;
no setters (health writes and HealthStatus gone); pill, strip and
source line read it; transitions go to the Notifier.
- Notifier: noticeFor(event, context) with self presence, alone, window
activity, playing and prefs; toasts for joins/leaves/returns/swaps/
Up next adds (with picture)/problems/chat, the rest logged; while
sitting out only chat, nudges, starting, Up next (+ joins if chosen);
alone no social notices; replayed lines logged; owns its toast timer.
- System notifications (flutter_local_notifications: D-Bus on Linux,
WinRT on Windows) when the window isn't focused; a click focuses it.
- Toasts sit above the control bar and move with it.
- Versions: each member's in the members card and avatar tooltip,
the server's in the card header; the strip no longer shows it.

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.

- notice_table_test: one row per AppEvent variant through noticeFor.
- FlakyProxy (core/testing.dart): pass, blackhole (half-open), delay,
hold, cut after N bytes, reset; demo tests against today's server.
- Liveness (stale/drop/ping) on the engine clock, so grace can be tested
with a fake clock; Connection takes an injectable clock.
- AppDirs with STARSYNC_PROFILE=<name>: separate data and logs, so two
instances run on one machine.
- DEVELOPMENT: scenario list per restructure step; test tags follow the
new step order.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Tests: the four known failures fixed (test-side causes), one duplicate
file and four detail-pinning cases removed, every test that pins
behaviour the restructure changes tagged with its step.
- Every toast, sound and activity-log line goes through Notifier.notify
(AppEvent), mapped one-to-one to today's behaviour.
- Platform ports (shell, URLs, folders, link resolver, system
notifications) with desktop implementations; window_manager, Process
and file_picker now live only in platform/desktop/.
- ROADMAP: protocol 16 planned; app id dev.foxyz.starsync.

- Close: hide the window, dispose every player, thumbnail job and the
sound engine, leave, then close normally; Linux runner _exit (the
NVIDIA EGL exit handler crashed 10/10 closes, 0/41 now); Windows tears
down inside the message loop, then TerminateProcess; watchdogs.
- Version under the Settings tab; an update band instead of a dot,
never over a video; checks at start and every 4 hours.
- Chat pop-ups default to All again.
- Shader read-back compared as a list (old mpv joins with ','), so
Windows stops turning shaders off; Windows hwdec auto-copy.
- Render diagnostics (`mpv: render` lines); RAM-only demuxer cache pin
silences the file-cache warning; a volume readout test.

SoundEngine (platform/audio) opens the device once (2 s after start,
or on the first sound), loads each synthesized sound into memory (no
temp files), plays overlapping voices and is disposed on window close,
before leaving the server. The SfxService interface and its callers
are unchanged; loudness matches the old mpv path (v^6). WAV only, so
no codec libraries are bundled and no build packages are needed.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Logs: one redaction pass (query strings to names, member tokens,
passwords, cookies, auth headers) for every line; daily files with size
and age caps in the app (hosted server included) and the dedicated
server (--log-dir); swaps, relay channels, per-member /r /m /j outcomes,
server fetches, mpv load errors, yt-dlp runs. Settings > About: Copy
diagnostics, Open logs folder.
Bilibili through someone else: the viewer opened /r/ before the source
dialled in; the server holds that request and mpv gives up after 5 s
("could not be opened"). Viewers now open a member relay once it is
live, the putter starts its source before its own player, and track
sizes are read in parallel.

The server keeps one small relay (32 MiB ahead, 8 behind) for Up next's
first relayed item, keyed by its queue id at a URL that stays the same
after the swap: fetched by the server for server-fetch links, fed by
the adder's app for through-me links and files, by a member with an
account for member-passed Jellyfin items. Every app preloads from it;
the swap promotes it with its buffer. Dropped when the item stops
being first or its adder leaves. Measured switch: ~1.6 s cold, 20-40 ms
preloaded. ROADMAP gains the research item on server-side fetching of
member-resolved URLs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every app gets the first Up next item ready itself (own Jellyfin plan,
direct links, guests via /j when state.relayNext says the server's
login can pass it on) and opens it in a hidden, muted, paused second
player; the swap promotes that player instead of opening cold, so its
buffer counts at once. Reports go out on open and when the buffer
reaches the gate's need. SwitchTrace times each phase. Measured in the
e2e harness: 1.5-3 s before, 35-103 ms with a preload. Relayed items
still open cold for everyone but their source (ROADMAP).

X.Y.Z-dev.N builds read the dev prerelease's manifest as well as the
stable one and take the newer, so a tester gets each test build through
the normal update and lands back on stable at the release.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The server's version is stamped like the app's (APP_VERSION) when packaged,
so it can compare against the manifest; --upgrade swaps the whole install
folder (app and server) and asks for a restart. update.sh/.bat no longer
need GTK.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Hot restart frees the old isolate's NativeCallables while mpv handles stay
alive; media_kit then quits them on the next start and mpv calls the dead
wakeup callback (SIGSEGV on the mpv 'core' thread). A debug-only runner
hook clears every live handle's wakeup callback on the engine's
on-pre-engine-restart signal.

The shell (lib/src/shell/) replaces the Home and session screens:
- Party strip: profile, Library / Schedule / Settings tabs, Join and
Host cards (hosting no longer takes media), status-ring avatar stack
with the member list, chat & activity panel, Leave.
- The real session player is mounted once and shown full, as a
draggable corner-snapping mini player, or fullscreen (window_manager,
party and toasts overlaid); the Video is never mounted twice.
- Profile popover with inline rename, colour and a crop picker (256 px
PNG), pushed live to the session; avatar toasts; waiting pill.
- Motion kit (fastEaseInToSlowEaseOut, fade-through, popovers,
mouse-drag/wheel horizontal scrolling).
- Library = the existing picker for now (restyled next round); Schedule
= the new SchedulePage; Settings = left nav over the existing panels.
Protocol 9 (packages/core, packages/server, sync client):
- {"t":"profile"} renames / changes the picture mid-session ("rename",
"avatar" feed actions); names are cleaned the same way at hello.
- state.members carry avatarHash; pictures are served once from
/a/<sid>/<token>/<hash> (PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF by magic bytes only) and
cached by hash in the app (AvatarCache).

tool/package_windows.ps1 builds watch-together-<ver>-windows-x64.zip
(same layout as the Linux tarball, libmpv bundled, update.bat and
watch-together-server.exe). The release workflow gets a windows job;
ci runs the updater tests on Windows. Publishing moves to
tool/release_publish.dart (dart: only, no python/bash on Windows), which
tolerates both jobs racing to create the release and replaces an asset
on re-runs. release.sh writes both asset URLs into the manifest.
Windows jobs check out with plain git (the host's cached
actions/checkout clone was corrupt).

- Host/swap send refs only; pasted Jellyfin links become refs; the host
hands the relay its own app-obtained credential.
- Each viewer resolves with their own account (token in a header) or
via the relay, else a clear blocked card with Link account.
- Per-account progress reporting (Playing/Progress/Stopped), 401 marks
the account expired.
- Previous/next episode in the controls (< > / Shift+P/N), floating
Next episode pill near the end, auto-advance countdown (one
designated swapper), track carry-over per series.
- Swap panel uses the shared MediaPicker; browser location remembered
per server and opens on the current series.
- Fix: states are applied one at a time (a stale pause could land
after a newer play).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- User seeks are intercepted at the player (SyncPlayer), previewed
locally, sent once 300 ms after the drag ends; own echoes are matched
by seekSeq and never re-applied; the landed check can't reapply a
stale target. 1 s position poll removed.
- ping/pong clock offset (min-RTT ClockSync); positions use server time.
- Reports carry duration; buffer gate is min(4 s, remaining - 2 s);
new finished transport instead of a HELD stall at the end.
- cache/readahead 150 s, 256 MiB demuxer cache, pins read back.
- Resumed reports put a stale ready member back in the set; hello.resume
takes over the old member after an unclean drop (no ghost).
- Docs: roadmap rendering findings (HW path works; shaders verified).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- serve(Map config, events) is the one server entrypoint: the app
hosts it via Isolate.spawn (crash surfaced on the Host card, logs
forwarded as [server]); bin/server.dart is the dedicated server,
compiled into the bundle as watch-together-server. --headless gone.
- Host identity via a per-hosting hostKey in hello, replacing the
loopback heuristic.
- Rename room -> server across code, files and wire (t:"state",
/health name); protocol bumped to 5.
- CI compiles the server binary; isolate smoke tests in server and
desktop suites. Docs updated.
