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.

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.

Top bar merges window chrome, profile, tabs and page icons. Join: one
compact row plus recent-server tiles with live /health status and a
needs-update badge. Host: reusable MediaPicker (Jellyfin placeholder,
Link, File) filling the width, server settings in a narrow column.

- 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.
