yt-dlp: a managed, checksum-verified, daily-updated yt-dlp in the app and
the dedicated server (--[no-]yt-dlp, --yt-dlp-dir). Pasted links are
probed: direct files stay links, pages are resolved for title, uploader,
duration and thumbnail. Everyone fetches it: mpv's ytdl hook on the
managed copy. I pass it on / the server fetches it: the best single-file
format, re-resolved once when its URL expires. Relay names never split
the /r/ path; viewers of server-fetched pages wait for the relay to go
live. No wire change.
Icon: two stars orbiting a play button (assets/icon/icon.svg, PNGs, the
Windows .ico). GTK app id moe.senkochan.watch_together; release builds
install their .desktop file and icons into ~/.local/share so Wayland
shows the icon; the window icon is set for X11. README shows the icon.

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.

Eleven sounds for events that carry news (ready, unready, everyone ready,
join, leave, kick, new video, others' chat, idle warning, connection
lost/back); none for what the video already says. New voices: koto
(Karplus-Strong, bendable), furin chime, rin bowl, bamboo, hyoshigi,
shoji slide, in the Yo scale on D. Played by SynthSfx at the Settings
volume with per-sound switches and previews. The debug layout mock is
gone.

The swapper sends the media's poster and banner once (`art`, Jellyfin
images or AniList by parsed name); state carries their hashes and every
member fetches them from /i/ like avatars. state.media.swapBy names who
put the media up. uosc and the standard bar show cover, title and
episode; a banner card shows before playback starts. The top-left health
pill and the waiting pill become one frosted status pill in plain words.

Library: source switch, selectable cards with a details panel, one merged
Continue row, Latest grouped per series without re-releases, Link page with
previews and recent links, Files embedded. Player: gear popover in both
designs, progress line while controls hide, live hwdec. Settings rebuilt as
cards. State marks the host member (proto stays 9, unreleased); hosting
shows LAN invite addresses; window buttons in fullscreen. fadeThrough keeps
the outgoing view's state.

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).

Viewers who cannot reach the media get it through the server: a file on
any member's computer, a link passed on by a member ("Through me") or
fetched by the server ("Server fetches it", password-protected servers
only), and Jellyfin items for guests without an account, sourced by
whoever put them up with their own sign-in (or a pasted link's key),
which never leaves their machine. Fixes guests on a dedicated server
without a Jellyfin login being blocked.
The source dials /r/.../source (works behind NAT) and answers pulls with
an adaptive in-flight window (2 x rate x min RTT, 256 KiB..8 MiB). The
server keeps a memory-only buffer of 1 MiB slices sized like a viewer's
mpv buffer (pinned head/tail, 64 MiB back, 256 MiB ahead), fills it with
one sequential pull at a time (blocked viewers first, newest request
only), fetches nothing while nobody watches through it, and drops it on
the next swap or stop. Measured with mpv through shaped links
(tool/relay_e2e.dart): 400 Mbit/s seeks ~0.03 s; 40 Mbit/s no stalls,
3 viewers cost the source ~1x the bytes.

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).

Thick timeline with hatched cache range, chapter diamonds and
chapter/time hover boxes; collapses to a thin progress line when
hidden. Flat icon row with track count badges, shader preset badge,
flat dark menus. Own show/hide state, live switch in window and
fullscreen. New buffered signal from demuxer-cache-time.

- PlaybackController exposes chapters, segments (Jellyfin
MediaSegments for account holders), tracks, position/duration.
- Own seek bar with chapter diamonds and chapter title on hover,
seeking through the sync user-seek path.
- Skip OP / Skip ED pills from Intro/Outro segments or chapter names
(ED skips to its end only); Skip 1:30 fallback for >20 min videos
without OP info; next-episode pill now starts at the ED.
- PgUp/PgDn chapters, Shift+Right +1:30; Audio and Subtitles menus
with count badges via the existing track path.

- 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).

Integrations links several Jellyfin servers (Quick Connect or
password, app-obtained tokens only, status/reconnect/sign out). The
Host tab's Jellyfin source is a full browser: continue watching, next
up, latest per library, library grids with sort/filter/infinite
scroll, series pages with smart resume/next-up, details, grouped
search, inspector pane on wide screens, keyboard navigation.
MediaPicker selection is now a sealed PickedMedia. Hosting a Jellyfin
pick is interim (host's stream URL) until per-viewer playback lands.

- Media can be a Jellyfin ref {serverId, itemId, mediaSourceId, title,
subtitle, runtimeSecs}; the server never stores or broadcasts a URL
or token for it.
- Optional server-side Jellyfin credential (serve map / --jellyfin
file) enables GET /j/<sid>/<token>/<itemId>: range-faithful proxy of
the active item only, exact client header fields, upstream aborted on
disconnect, bytes counted. welcome.relayUrl / state.relay advertise it.
- Members report jf access (own account vs relay).
- /m now sends the real Content-Type (Relic overrode it).

Vendored Anime4K v4.0.1 GLSL (MIT), extracted to app support once per
version. Presets A/B/C/A+A/B+B/C+A in HQ and Fast per Anime4K's mpv
templates, plus custom files. Shader button in the video controls
(works in fullscreen), Ctrl+1..6 / Ctrl+0, live apply with read-back,
failures fall back to Off with a toast. Render mode detected from
mpv's GL log; warns when on the software path. Docs include the
Jellyfin client section.

- 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).

- 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.

README for the repo page; HOW-IT-WORKS overview; ARCHITECTURE,
PROTOCOL, DEVELOPMENT checked against the code; ROADMAP is backlog
only (isolate/dedicated server, sync fixes, rendering+shaders,
Windows build, Jellyfin epic). HANDOFF.md and mpv-http-contract.md
folded in and deleted.

release.sh writes updates/manifest.json at release time (predictable
asset URL) — no CI commit-back, no push-token problem, no detached
checkout dance. release_publish.sh is create-release + upload only.
Manifest sha256 now optional; updater skips verification with a note
when absent (HTTPS + gzip CRC cover the realistic cases). Fixed the
repo-URL sed keeping a .git suffix (caught by a worktree dry run).
Updater tests: 8 (sha-less manifest flow added).
patch/minor/major from latest tag (pubspec as-is for the first
release), bumps all pubspecs lockstep, commits, tags. Push with
--follow-tags and CI takes over. Docs updated to the flow.
release.yml (tag v* or manual dispatch): beta Flutter per local
convention, Linux build deps, package script tarball, artifact
upload, then release_publish.sh creates the Forgejo release,
uploads the asset, and commits updates/manifest.json back to
main. Workflows moved .github -> .gitea to match the forge setup.
Wishlist.md consumed into roadmap backlog: EOF stall + tiny buffer
bugs prioritized, recovery controls, link conveniences, time UI,
shortcuts, shaders, avatar serving.
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.
Private-server headroom over any pipeline PNG. The 8-min
auto-unready warning now mirrors the 10-min action guard: no toast
when self isn't ready, since there's nothing to lose.
64 KiB rejected normal 128px PNGs. 128 KiB fits any 128x128 PNG
(raw <= 64 KiB, worst-case base64 ~95 KiB chars) while still
bounding abuse. PNG kept for transparency. Pipeline now measures
the encoded base64 against RelayConstants (was checking the wrong
variable with its own 512 KiB limit) and drops dead crop code.
Server policy, still v4. Trade noted: avatars ride the 1 Hz room
broadcast, uplink scales with cap; hash-reference follow-up later.
