addDmChannel must be called before navigate() so the route effect
finds the channel in the store immediately. Without this, the chat
view renders empty until the WS dm_channel_created event arrives.
Also show an error instead of silently returning when otherMember
cannot be determined.
- Add CreateGroupDmRequest to API client imports, type declaration, and implementation (POST /dm/group)
- Update AddDmMemberModal to branch on channel type: 1-on-1 DMs call createGroup and navigate to new channel, group DMs call addMember directly
- Remove legacy getApiForOrigin/channelOriginMap usage — S2S federation relay is now entirely server-side
getGroupDmTargetOrigins() was called after the leaving user's dm_members row
was deleted, causing their instance to be excluded from member_remove and
ownership_transfer relay fan-out if they were the only member from that peer.
Move the target origins and leaving user lookups to before the deletion.
Task 13: Hook server-to-server peering into connectToRemote (non-fatal)
and add federation API namespace to the client (initiate, peers, revoke).
Task 14: Show a transparency notice in the DM welcome header when the
other user is on a remote instance, informing that messages are stored
on both home instances and are not end-to-end encrypted.
Task 15: Add Federation section to the instance settings General panel
with DM relay toggle, TTL config, and a live peer list with revoke
buttons. Also extends InstanceAdminSettings type and the server settings
route to support federationRelayEnabled / federationRelayTtlDays.
The dist < 150 check caused the ResizeObserver and media load
listener to miss large layout shifts (e.g., GIF loading adding
400+ px of height). The isAtBottomRef gate already determines
whether to auto-scroll — the pixel threshold is redundant.
Remove isAtBottom state from scroll effect deps to break the
re-triggering feedback loop. Use isAtBottomRef (ref) instead.
Gate ResizeObserver and media load effects behind the ref so
they only auto-scroll after the initial snap completes.
Images now size naturally within max constraints instead of being
letterboxed into a 4/3 bg-surface-input container. Fixes dark bars
on GIFs and images whose aspect ratio doesn't match 4/3.
Add data-embed-thumbnail marker to VideoEmbed, GenericEmbed, and
RichEmbed thumbnail containers. Update detection logic to skip
these alongside avatars. Also remove redundant filename derivation
in Save Image menu item.
Detect right-clicked images in handleContextMenu and prepend
Save Image, Copy Image, and Open Original to the custom menu.
Avatars are excluded via the data-avatar semantic marker.
Refactor useGridLayout from RefObject to callback-ref API so the
ResizeObserver reattaches when the grid container remounts after
focus-mode toggle. Fixes tiles rendering at stale fullscreen dimensions
on 4:3 monitors.
Also clamp focus-mode participant strip height (max-h-[20vh] min-h-[80px])
to prevent it from crowding the focused stream on short viewports.
Replace old "Add Friend" form tests (placeholder/button/inline messages) with
new tests for the Find People panel: search input, Direct Add row, toast feedback,
and searchUsers debounce. Also fix ancillary mocks (discoverStore, authStore,
activityStore, ConnectInstanceModal, findExistingDmForUser) required by the
rewritten component.
Replace the two separate inputs (direct add + discover search) with a
single unified search field. When the user types, results come from
socialStore.searchUsers() across all connected instances. When empty,
the discover grid is shown as before. A user@instance pattern surfaces
a Direct Add action row for sending friend requests to federated users.
Parent FriendsPage no longer owns add-friend state — it all lives inside
AddFriendTab now, keeping the component self-contained.
Extends ParticipantInfo with cachedUser: User | null. In updateParticipants,
snapshots the previous participant list and carries forward the cached User
object when spaceStore member lookup fails (user navigated to a different
space). Local user falls back to authStore. homeUserId is now derived from
cachedUser when the direct member lookup misses. Updates EMPTY_PARTICIPANT
in PictureInPicture.tsx.
InstanceNotConnectedError and InstanceDisconnectedError now open the
ConnectInstanceModal instead of being swallowed silently. After the user
connects/reconnects, the friend request is retried automatically and a
success toast confirms both the connection and the sent request. All
other friend action errors (remove, cancel, accept, decline) now surface
as warning toasts instead of being silently discarded.
- Backup codec changed from H.264 (OpenH264, slow) to VP8 (libvpx,
fast) — same encoder family as VP9, lower dual-encode overhead
- Backup capped at 30fps with proportional bitrate to keep CPU
overhead low during SIMULCAST dual-encoding
- H.264 pill visually dimmed with amber warning when selected
- Connection Info now shows encoder impl (e.g. libvpx, OpenH264,
ExternalEncoder) on send-side video tracks alongside quality
limitation reason
- Amber warning "VP9 is recommended" when H.264 is selected
VP9 empirically outperforms H.264 in gaming (Chrome may not use
NVENC for screen share H.264). Codec pills now match other pill
styles — simple labels, no description text. Mode change no longer
auto-switches codec; user's codec choice is independent.
Calling e.preventDefault() on touchstart inside [data-context-menu]
elements prevented the browser from synthesizing click events
(touchstart → touchend → click chain). This broke tapping on spaces,
channels, DMs, and every other surface with data-context-menu.
Text selection prevention is already handled by CSS user-select: none
on [data-context-menu] elements — the JS preventDefault was redundant
and destructive. Reverted touchstart listener back to passive.
VP9 is default — better quality per bit with H.264 SIMULCAST backup
for Safari. H.264 option available for zero-CPU hardware encoding.
Codec choice is independent of gaming/text mode, which still controls
contentHint and degradationPreference.
