Colours and grid: media_kit renders through OpenGL ES, where mpv's
mediump samplers made Anime4K's networks compute at half precision
(fp16 on NVIDIA); the VL networks of HQ overflow and round there,
strongest once the upscalers run at screen size. The extracted copies
route every network read through a highp identity function; on GLES the
result now equals desktop OpenGL's.
Resize: the output is the picture fitted in the view (no bars, centred
on whole pixels), so Flutter scales the last texture to the new view
without the shrink-then-jump; the resize wait is 120 ms.

Alone, or with Everyone fetches it, a page link with plain-file tracks
plays through SharedLinks.local (a SharedSource without the upload): it
resumes after a cut, backs off on 412/429/5xx and resolves the page again
on 403/410/412, where ffmpeg's own reconnect gave up for good. Pieces
tracks and a reader that cannot open keep yt-dlp's URLs as before.

Dev reads the dev and stable manifests and offers the newer by semver;
a test build stores Dev on its first start, so the release that updates
it keeps the channel. Switching to Stable in a test build asks before
going back to an older release. tool/dev_release.sh's one-time command
also writes the update-channel file that sets Dev.

- Quick chat (Enter in the full player, whatever plays): a box at the
bottom centre in the control bar's place, compact and widening with
the text, sharing its draft with the chat panel; Enter sends, Esc or an
empty Enter closes, it closes by itself after 8 s without typing (the
draft stays). Keys go to it; the Enter that opened it no longer reaches
a focused button. Typing never shows the cursor or the controls: the
frame wakes only on real mouse movement and holds the controls hidden
while the box or its echo is up. Your sent line shows as an echo (or
flies as your own danmaku line); your own chat toast is not repeated.
- Subtitle lift: always for the box, for the control bar as a setting
(off); 4 eased-out sub-pos steps 42 ms apart instead of one per frame.
- Notifications: Toasts / Danmaku (off by default): chat and short notices
fly over the full player, problems stay toasts; every knob of the look
plus boldness, persisted, with a live preview strip in Settings.
- Player panel: ⚙ → Player settings docks a foldable glass panel at the
right (tracks, subtitle size and lift, picture, volume, notifications,
controls) in place of the card; Esc closes it.
- Danmaku preview: the mock dialogue follows the lift; the stand-in page
has the chat box too.

- starsync://host:port/?name=&pw= (PROTOCOL.md "Invite link"); the password only when ticked, never in logs
- Linux: launcher entry takes x-scheme-handler/starsync (%u, StartupNotify) and becomes its xdg-mime default; Windows: HKCU\Software\Classes\starsync -> starsync.exe
- InstanceLock: lock file + loopback handoff per profile folder; the running app comes up with the second start's activation token (Wayland/X11) or AllowSetForegroundWindow (Windows)
- Sharing looks up the internet address (HTTPS services with fallbacks); members card picks Internet / Home network / VPN and says when the port needs forwarding
- JoinOffers: link and clipboard prompt with /health, joins through ConnectFlow; dismissed clipboard invites kept as fingerprints

- "Sharp video and subtitles" (Settings → Player and the player settings
card, on by default): the video output renders at the view's physical
size (debounced, GPU rendering only), so libass, mpv's scaler and the
shaders work at screen resolution; re-sent after media_kit's own reset
on new video params, redrawn while paused.
- Dev builds only (Settings → About → Developer): a danmaku preview
(DanmakuLayer: free lanes in an upper band, density cap with a queue,
equal crossing time, outlined text, avatars, own-line frame) over the
real player or a stand-in picture, with samples, a random stream, live
toasts, every knob and mock subtitles; and "Lift subtitles above the
chat line and controls": Enter opens a stand-in chat line, bottom
subtitles move up via mpv sub-pos while it or the control bar is up.
- tool/make_sub_test.sh: a test video with a top \an8 sign, bottom
dialogue and an SRT track.

CHANGELOG.md keeps an Unreleased section (user-facing changes add a line in
the same commit); tool/release.sh cuts it into the version, the manifest
gets a structured "changes" field next to the one-line "notes" older
apps read, and the Gitea release text is that section. The app's update
band shows the top items, What's new opens a card (Added / Changed /
Fixed), and the first start after an update shows it once.

Before, the member passing a page link on downloaded it twice, independently:
their mpv straight from the CDN and the relay's pulls again, with a
different format pick and without yt-dlp's cookies. The two drifted (the
putter played on while viewers stalled, or the reverse) and doubled the
connections the CDN saw. Now one SharedSource per track reads the site
once (resuming after cuts, backing off on 412/429/5xx and silence) into a
bounded buffer (64 MiB ahead, 16 behind) that serves both the putter's
mpv through a loopback endpoint and the server's pulls; the putter plays
the relay's own format pick, and the relay sends yt-dlp's cookies.
Up next's warm relay uses the same reader. Pieces tracks (HLS/DASH) keep
two fetches for now. Measured in the opt-in e2e: half the CDN traffic, no
412s under a lockout CDN, viewer seeks 0.29 s instead of 4 s there.

Two server behaviours left ffmpeg (8.1/9.0) without the file size, after
which every seek failed with "size -38" until a reload:
- dart:io holds response headers until body bytes exist: a stalled
source meant no headers within mpv's 5 s timeout. Relay byte responses
are now written on the raw connection, headers with the first bytes or
after 4 s, and a swap ends waiting reads with a plain close.
- every response closed its socket without saying connection: close, so
ffmpeg 8.x reused a dead connection for its next seek (pol's X clips).
The server now says it whenever the request asks.
A failed pull waits 250 ms doubling to 8 s instead of re-pulling at once
(the ~130 ms storm that drew Bilibili's 412/403); 412 counts as an expired
URL and re-resolves the page, at most once per 60 s. The app reloads a
player once per media when ffmpeg reports the lost size anyway. P37: a
read that waits past ffmpeg's retry budget still ends the file early.

Fun Maker joined on Windows while a video played: the open landed before
mpv's render context existed (media_kit reports the controller ready
first there), the video output failed and the media stayed unopened.
The host now opens the same media again once, 500 ms later.

Win32Window::Create calls Destroy() before it makes the window, which
ran FlutterWindow::OnDestroy and armed the 3 s exit timer at launch: the
window showed, then the process ended with code 0, no crash, no close
lines. The timer is only armed with an engine to tear down. Found and
fixed by Fun Maker's agent on Windows (a debugger caught the exit on the
timer's thread).
The smoke runs missed it (they closed at ~4 s anyway): the app now stays
up 10 s, and the scripts require 'closing' and 'quitting' from its own
close.

A Windows friend's 1.3.0 dies about a second in on every start, right
around the 2 s audio warm-up (no Dart error, no close lines). Opening the
device is now logged and leaves audio-init.pending until it returns; a
start that finds it skips sounds instead of crashing again, and a sound
preview in Settings tries once more.

media_kit keeps a Video's last controls when given null, so after the
full player the mini kept the Minimal bars (dark bands above and below
the picture, a second hatched line). The mini now passes an empty
builder. Its hover bar uses the full player's play button and time,
the status on its own line, Minimal buttons, and a painted bar instead
of Material's progress indicator (its gap and stop dot at the corner).

connect() kept the last server's state while dialling the next; the
shell saw its media on arrival and opened the player (full, on a
friend's server) over the new, empty one.

media_kit sets vo=libmpv before the render context exists; an open in
between failed mpv's video output ("No render context set") and played
black with sound. Seen on X11 joining a server with media already up.

- What's next is the server's: state.advance counts down (10 s) when the
media finishes with an Up next item first, holds while its performer or
warm source is gone, and sets queuePlay at its end; cancel is shared, a
seek or swap ends it; the server skips items nobody can put up. Shared
rules in core whats_next.dart; the app's janitor, per-screen countdown
and end-of-episode card are gone.
- The continuation (next Jellyfin episode, next file of a local show
with its gaps) is an auto item under "Continues with", prepared like
Up next's first item.
- Watch tracking by time In (D3): only time played while this viewer is
in counts; away, paused, held, jumps and stalls never do (P7, P9).
WatchTracker + device WatchHistory (files, links); Jellyfin progress
reads the same watch; records are the AniList seam.
- A server restart no longer loses what played: apps hold their media
and one offers it back (swap.restore, first offer wins), Up next is
re-added, the source re-feeds, and the watch carries on.

Flutter >= 3.38 keeps its EGL contexts on the raster thread, so
media_kit's video output found none on the platform thread and fell
back to software rendering (no shaders, ~5 fps) on X11. The patched
output opens Flutter's EGL display itself, steps GDK's GLX context aside
on X11 and releases its own context. Patch from a friend's agent, kept
in third_party/media_kit_video/starsync/. Wayland/NVIDIA still renders
on the GPU (checked); the X11 path was verified on the friend's machine.

- PlayerHost port (MediaKitHost): players by role, pins, hwdec policy,
render probe, log routing, disposal order; the only media_kit user.
- MediaPipeline: plan (one pure switch over state, origin, caps,
presence) -> resolve -> open (prepared player promoted, else fresh)
-> ready; commands queued during a switch apply once (P15); viewers
play the buffer and wait for a dropped source without seek loops (D6).
- Every web page resolved by our yt-dlp into an EDL with headers and
cookies (danmaku excluded); mpv's ytdl_hook no longer used (ytdl=no).
- D11: sign-in errors say which cookies were used and whether they hold
any for the site.
- Relay: 256 KiB slices read as they fill, superseded pulls released
(seek-to-play ~4.2 s -> ~2.8 s, P29); own Jellyfin relay channel only
when someone needs it (P28).
- STARSYNC_SMOKE run and a Windows CI smoke step after the build.

- L1 (core, offline): release names with kinds (episode, movie, extra:
OP/ED/Opening/Ending/NC/PV/OVA…), folder hints (season and name from
parentheticals, ranges), one show across folders, gaps and next with
skipped numbers, junk ignored, stable keys.
- L2 (app, device-owned cache): AniList match with synonyms and
sequel walking, episode mapping across cours (AnimeFlow runs when
signed in), art and episode titles, "Wrong show?" pins per show or
folder, episode offsets; lazy, spaced requests, works offline.
- Files tab as a library: poster cards, show pages with banner, gap
prompt, extras, movies, Wrong show? and Episode numbers.
- media.ref produced for local files, Jellyfin (provider ids) and links,
carried in swaps and Up next; receivers name media from it.
- Hosting relays each Jellyfin item through its own server's login.

- One server per app run (loopback, no password); Invite attaches an
all-interfaces listener to the same server and Stop sharing detaches
it (guests told with 4016); members, media and Up next never reset.
No solo mode: you're home on your own server unless in a friend's.
- Navigation: none / yours / friend; a join passes a version gate on
/health first (clear "they/you need to update", update offer).
- Invite as a value (host, port, name, password flag, version, fp
reserved); addresses filtered (loopback, link-local, 198.18/15,
bridges) and ranked; Sharing chip, Copy invite, Stop sharing.
- Alone looks like a plain player (alone replaces solo).
- AppGraph builds and disposes systems; widgets use AppScope;
SessionState deleted; a test caps the remaining singletons.

- Status: computed from connection, presence, hold, relay, player facts;
no setters (health writes and HealthStatus gone); pill, strip and
source line read it; transitions go to the Notifier.
- Notifier: noticeFor(event, context) with self presence, alone, window
activity, playing and prefs; toasts for joins/leaves/returns/swaps/
Up next adds (with picture)/problems/chat, the rest logged; while
sitting out only chat, nudges, starting, Up next (+ joins if chosen);
alone no social notices; replayed lines logged; owns its toast timer.
- System notifications (flutter_local_notifications: D-Bus on Linux,
WinRT on Windows) when the window isn't focused; a click focuses it.
- Toasts sit above the control bar and move with it.
- Versions: each member's in the members card and avatar tooltip,
the server's in the card header; the strip no longer shows it.

Server and core: version ranges on both sides with a coded refusal; a
client id maps to the same member and token for the server's life; a
drop is `gone` for a 10-minute grace keeping ready, presence, queue
items, relay and avatar; `bye` leaves at once; ordered takeover (seq,
replaced/stale); presence joining/in/away/gone with one PresencePolicy;
joiners never pause playback and hold a held gate at most ~15 s;
state.hold; feed ids, seq and replay; the relay lives through its
source's grace and continues on re-dial; queue `by` lasting, auto
items and cancel; MediaRef carried; client ids never logged.
App: persisted client id and seq; Connection with unstable/lost/
replaced states, backoff with jitter, no lost/back pair per flap; a drop
keeps the session (state, player, media, relay source); presence in the
strip and members card; sit out = away intent; feed matched by id;
auto sit-out (idle when not playing, minimised for a while; never when
alone) replaces auto-unready; bye on close and Leave, not on update
restart; relay source re-dials through its grace.

- 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.

- notice_table_test: one row per AppEvent variant through noticeFor.
- FlakyProxy (core/testing.dart): pass, blackhole (half-open), delay,
hold, cut after N bytes, reset; demo tests against today's server.
- Liveness (stale/drop/ping) on the engine clock, so grace can be tested
with a fake clock; Connection takes an injectable clock.
- AppDirs with STARSYNC_PROFILE=<name>: separate data and logs, so two
instances run on one machine.
- DEVELOPMENT: scenario list per restructure step; test tags follow the
new step order.

Connection owns the socket lifecycle, connect/dial with epochs,
reconnect, the clock offset, diagnostics upload and a sealed ConnState
signal; the hello is built by an injectable builder, the resume token
stays private, and the reconnect delay and silence limit are parameters.
The coordinator maps ConnState to the same health texts and keeps the
reconnect restore and drop handling (step 1 replaces them).

- Tests: the four known failures fixed (test-side causes), one duplicate
file and four detail-pinning cases removed, every test that pins
behaviour the restructure changes tagged with its step.
- Every toast, sound and activity-log line goes through Notifier.notify
(AppEvent), mapped one-to-one to today's behaviour.
- Platform ports (shell, URLs, folders, link resolver, system
notifications) with desktop implementations; window_manager, Process
and file_picker now live only in platform/desktop/.
- ROADMAP: protocol 16 planned; app id dev.foxyz.starsync.
