- 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.

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.

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.

- 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.

- Strip the tarball's top-level folder; stage inside the install root
(same filesystem) and swap with full rollback; keep file modes.
- Semver prerelease ordering (1.2.3-rc1 < 1.2.3).
- UpdateController: background check, download with progress, apply,
restart; required-update wording for newer protocols; Check now.
- update.sh/update.bat in the bundle; Windows apply path (untested).

Updater: watch-together --upgrade checks updates/manifest.json,
downloads the tarball, verifies sha256, applies over the live
install (extract-temp + delete-first move-over; rename-safe on
Linux while running). Zero Flutter imports, 7 tests incl.
stub-server flows. Version stamped via --dart-define=APP_VERSION
in package script. Warns (never silently jumps) on proto mismatch.
Roadmap: phases retired as tracker (history in git log), now flat
Built/Backlog/Epics/Deferred; Jellyfin next feature, transcode
never; updater expansion stays an epic. Endpoint publishing
(manifest + release tarball) is user-owned.
One command: flutter build linux --release, then bundles into
dist/watch-together-<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz with a single
top-level folder (executable, lib/, data/). Uploads via
DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL env (never committed) as a Components V2 card:
version header, short git commit, stat codeblock, tarball as File
component. --noupload skips, --skip-build reuses the last bundle.
Verified: 0.1.0 builds, exec bit preserved, payload asserted
against a stub (flag 32768, container+file shape, attachment ref).
