Putting anything up offline starts a solo session: an in-app server bound
to 127.0.0.1 only, joined like hosting, so tracking, next episode and the
player all work. Invite friends re-hosts on the Host card's port and
password with the same media and position; Stop needs no confirmation.
Offline, the Library opens with a welcome band (Join a friend, Host, Watch
solo); without a Jellyfin account it leads with Files and Link, Jellyfin
is an optional card. Play buttons work offline.

Anyone can sit anyone out (host included); only you bring yourself back.
Out members stay in chat and the party, never block or count, and load no
media; a card with the live position and Join back (Space) replaces the
video. The mini player's x sits you out; optionally idle does too. Nudge:
the server forwards it to the target only (3/s, 20/min per sender); the
target hears the nudge sound, gets a toast and a taskbar attention
request. Kick, its messages, errors and dialog are gone.

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.

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.

- 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).

- 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.

- Player + VideoController per session; Reload video (Ctrl+R) and a
frozen-picture watchdog that reloads automatically.
- Shortcuts no longer fire while typing; empty swap disabled;
hwdec setting/env actually applied.
- Idle unready measured from real inactivity; cancellable reconnects
and setup; ready restored from server state; kicked/failed host
stops its server; graceful leave on window close; no URLs with
keys in display names.
- Welcome + connect screens replaced by one Home screen with Join and
Host cards, recent servers, Settings, Integrations and About.
