Unlock group DMs by removing the 2-member assumption across the stack.
No schema migration needed — dm_members junction table already supports
N members. Includes dedup bug fix, add/leave member endpoints, late-join
call support, group-aware sidebar rendering, and AddDmMemberModal.
Replace dual voiceStates + activeCalls maps with a single VoiceRoom
system that tracks both server channels and DM calls uniformly.
Fixes four bugs:
- voice_status silently dropped for DM call participants
- DM calls not cleaned up on WebSocket disconnect
- DM call state missing from ready payload on reconnect
- No spatial tracking of DM call participants
Camera and LIVE badges in the channel sidebar were only visible to users
who had joined the same LiveKit room. Widen the voice_status WS event
from {isMuted, isDeafened} to {isMuted, isDeafened, isCameraOn, isScreenSharing}
so all server members see camera/screenshare indicators without joining voice.
- Redesign DM close as a visibility flag (closed column) instead of row deletion,
so message broadcasts still reach users who closed a DM conversation
- Add broadcastDmMessage() helper that auto-resurfaces closed DMs when new messages arrive
- Wire Remove Friend button in DM welcome header with onClick handler and friend check
- Fix deploy.sh to cd to its own directory so rsync always runs from project root
- Add WebSocket voice_status/voice_status_update events so mute/deafen
icons are visible in the sidebar without joining the voice channel
- Server tracks voiceUserStates and includes them in the ready payload
- Re-register voice channel on WebSocket reconnect to prevent sidebar
users from disappearing after idle timeout
- Re-broadcast deafen state to late joiners via LiveKit data channel
- Fix black grid tile when video stops (enabled-flag guards)
- Remove duplicate mute/deafen from VoiceControls (replaced with
Video Quality + Noise Suppression)
- Fix missing users in sidebar voice list (identity matching + fallback)
- Implemented 'Overdrive' logic to force high bitrates on Chrome
- Fixed 'Auto' preset to default to stable 720p60
- Added persistent 'Triple-Kick' hammer to prevent bitrate throttling
- Fixed sidebar connection status sync
- Added comprehensive diagnostic logger
- Fix stale message cache: add force param to loadMessages, clearAllMessages action
- Fix reload race condition: URL-based isDmChannel fallback before WS ready
- Add read_states DB table for persistent unread tracking
- Add channel_ack WS event (client→server→echo) with BigInt comparison
- Wire up unread state in chatStore (readStates, unreadChannels, ackChannel)
- Auto-ack channels on MessageList view (200ms debounced)
- Unread pill indicators on server icons in ServerSidebar
- Bold text + white dot on unread channels/DMs in ChannelSidebar
- Replace all showDms reads with data-driven isDmChannel() across 8 files
- Design system, UI polish, and component fixes from previous sessions
Phase 1 - Feature Repair:
- Fix member kick/leave: add missing db.delete() call in servers.ts
- Stabilize invite codes: return existing code instead of regenerating
- Fix user search: use LIKE instead of exact match in social.ts
- Wire DM button on FriendsPage to create/navigate to DM channels
- Add cancel outgoing friend request (DELETE endpoint + frontend)
- Add accept/decline friend request actions with WS real-time events
- Fix replyToId persistence in message creation
- Hydrate reactions and replyTo in message queries
- Add joinByCode to API client and serverStore
- Add friend_request_received/accepted WebSocket events
Phase 2 - Discord UI Overhaul:
- Remove stray borders between layout columns
- Replace shadow-sm with shadow-header on content headers
- Replace all bg-gray-*/text-gray-* with Discord color tokens
- Ensure flat color contrast (#1E1F22, #2B2D31, #313338)
Testing:
- Set up vitest + @testing-library/react + jsdom
- Add 17 tests across InviteModal, JoinServer, FriendsPage (all passing)
- Fix vite resolve.extensions to prefer .tsx over stale .js files
