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).

Saved on resize, move, maximize and close; on start (and hot restart)
the normal size and maximized state come back everywhere, the position
on Windows and X11 when it still lands on a display (Wayland places
windows itself).

- Overlay: one layout for both designs (top bar with Up next as one of
its buttons; one action band above the controls for the status pill,
skips, next episode and end cards), one glass recipe (AppGlass) and
one pill (FloatingPill); hovering any of them, or the open queue,
holds the controls up.
- Up next: the first item (or the first continuation episode) is kept
resolved on the app that puts it up, refreshed before it expires;
Schedule and drop/paste can queue too.
- Jellyfin: WatchSession (core) counts real watched coverage; an
episode is watched at 80 % or at its ending after half; a played one
is re-marked after Playing (10.11 unmarks on open) and never gets a
position; a peek leaves the old resume point; part-way resume points
stay under 85 %.

Up next: a server-side queue anyone edits by item id (add at end or
next, move, remove, play now, skip); each item says who added it and
how it plays. At the real end the first item swaps in after the end
card's countdown, put up by whoever can (its adder for through-me links
and files, someone with access for Jellyfin, else anyone); items that
can't play are skipped with the reason. The next item's link is
resolved ahead. Greyed "Continues with" episodes below. A chip with the
controls opens it as a popover (leaf_widgets, local path dependency for
now); "Add to queue" next to Put it up everywhere.
Delivery: the server measures the source's rate, the media's bitrate
and each member's read rate; the members card shows a source line
(who passes it on, through what, keeping up or not, source left) and
each member's route and buffer. A slow source is told once per media.
A failed server fetch is announced to everyone.

- AppSelect / AppMenuButton (widgets/app_menu.dart): glass menu anchored
to its button, check on the current item, keyboard and Esc; replaces
the Material dropdowns in Settings, player settings, Jellyfin and the
member menu. Material menus elsewhere get the same surface by theme.
- Link page: Through me is the main choice (you can't know which sites
need cookies); Everyone / Server fetches it sit under "Other ways".

- Next episode (known ending, else the last two minutes) and Skip ED
show only while the controls are up, like Skip 1:30 (PillGate).
- A web link's name and wide cover slot show from the first state, so
nothing flips when its thumbnail arrives.
- Chat pop-ups default to Only when paused.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- A swap stops the previous media at once; buffer counts only for the
media the player holds (client) and the current mediaId (server), so
the old video can no longer start the new one.
- The automatic frozen-picture reload is gone (false alarms on still
scenes); Reload video stays.
- The "Next episode" pill shows only from a known ending.
- A web link's thumbnail is its cover, under the video's own name.
- While playing, the unread chip stays off the picture; chat pop-ups
can be All / Only when paused / Off.
- Server fetch failures say when the server has no cookies.

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 danmaku XML is served raw-deflate; ffmpeg fails to inflate it on
every read, logging a warning each time (millions, drained on the UI
thread) while the video waits on the track: a frame every few seconds.
mpv's hook now asks yt-dlp for sub-langs all,-danmaku.

report.error / state.members[].error (optional, no protocol bump): an
errored member is out of the ready gate until its player opens the media
or the media changes; others see "Bob can't play this: ..." and a mark
on the avatar; your own pill offers Retry (reload).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The session player asked libmpv for every v-level message all session and
media_kit drains them on the UI thread: a retry storm could freeze the
window. ffmpeg reconnects only on 5xx, bounded. A load that fails before
a duration is known reports once ('can't play this: HTTP error 403 ...').

For shows AnimeFlow doesn't track, the app now looks the episode up in the
linked Jellyfin (one /Shows/{id}/Episodes per series, 3 min memo; TVDB
number via anilist_map offsets). No linked account: a neutral Aired.

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>
A track can be served as pieces: the server writes a VOD playlist whose
entries are its own piece URLs (segments, init maps, AES-128 keys; byte
ranges folded in; yt-dlp's DASH fragments become the same list). A piece
buffer per track fills like the byte buffer. Picks a single file, then a
split byte pair, then pieces. DRM, live, master playlists are refused.

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.

Relayed media can carry 2-4 byte tracks (video, audio): yt-dlp picks a
split pair when no single-file format exists (h264 first), the source
channel serves each track, the server keeps a buffer per track (budget
split by size, 8 MiB floor) and viewers open an mpv edl:// of the track
URLs. Expired URLs re-resolve once for all tracks. Upstream GETs are cut
into <= http_chunk_size (10 MiB) ranges: YouTube throttles larger ones.
Live streams and DRM are refused; HLS/DASH pieces are a follow-up.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
