Replace string-based role checks (role === 'admin') with a bitwise BigInt
permission system. Adds computePermissions() resolution engine following
Discord's model: @everyone base → role union → admin shortcut → channel
overrides (role deny/allow → member deny/allow). Ready payload now filters
channels by VIEW_CHANNEL and attaches per-user myPermissions to each
server and channel. Includes channel_overrides table, @everyone role
auto-creation, migration for existing servers, and override CRUD API.
Wrap all multi-write DB operations in atomic transactions (server/channel
creation, message+attachment linking, DM creation, friend acceptance,
cascading deletes) to prevent partial-write corruption.
Batch N+1 queries in WS ready payload into O(1) bulk fetches with
chunked inArray() to respect SQLite's variable limit.
Fix chat history regression where background WS messages bypassed
channel load by switching the guard from messages.has() to hasMore.has().
Add LRU channel eviction (20 cached, evict to 15) and per-channel
message cap (200) to bound client memory growth.
Shorten WS heartbeat from 30s to 15s for aggressive proxy/NAT
environments. Clear all user-scoped stores on logout to prevent
cross-session data leaks.
Extract LiveKit internal accessors into shared livekitInternals utility.
Replace rigid SCREEN_QUALITY_MAP (6 hardcoded VideoPreset strings) with a
builder function that computes bitrate, degradation preference, and content
hint from three independent axes (height, fps, content mode). Camera is
decoupled onto a fixed 720p30 preset so screen share changes no longer
affect camera quality. New ScreenShareSettingsPopover replaces the old
VideoQualityPopover with pill-style selectors. Store migrated to v5 with
backwards-compatible migration from videoQuality string.
DM uploads silently failed because the 5-point chain (types, frontend,
POST, GET, WS broadcast) was never wired for attachments. Added
buildDmMessageWithUser/getDmMessageWithUser helpers mirroring the server
channel pattern, and plumbed attachmentIds + replyToId through all DM
code paths.
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.
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.
Eliminate double-state architecture (useState → useEffect bridge → store)
that lost speaking events due to React 18 batching. ActiveSpeakersChanged
now writes speakingParticipantIds directly to voiceStore; 200ms poll
catches missed SDK events. Each VoiceUser subscribes to its own identity
via fine-grained selector for minimal re-renders. Also adds connection
quality indicator and ConnectionInfoPopover.
tsc was emitting compiled .js files directly into packages/web/src/
alongside the .tsx source files because noEmit was not set. These
artifacts were never used — Vite compiles from .tsx source directly.
- Add noEmit: true to packages/web/tsconfig.json (tsc = type-check only)
- Delete all 62 orphaned .js files from src/ (-6,129 lines)
- Add packages/web/src/**/*.js to .gitignore as safeguard
- RNNoise (AI Noise Suppression) now enabled by default for all users
- Remove redundant browser Noise Suppression toggle from VoiceControls
and UserSettings — AudioManager handles it automatically as fallback
- Add AI Noise Suppression toggle to UserSettings panel
- Rename toggleRnnoise → setRnnoiseEnabled for clearer API
- Store migration v3→v4: enable RNNoise for existing users
- Keep Echo Cancellation and Auto Gain Control (orthogonal features)
Inject @sapphi-red/web-noise-suppressor into AudioManager's input pipeline
as a toggleable AudioWorkletNode. The worklet is loaded lazily on first
enable, then kept alive — toggling bypasses by rewiring the graph without
destroying the WASM instance. Browser NS is forced off when RNNoise is
active to avoid double-processing. InputGain forced to stereo up-mix to
prevent mono-left-only output from the worklet. Also wires Phase 2 output
device routing (setSinkId) into AppLayout/ChannelSidebar.
- Add WS events: dm_channel_created, dm_channel_closed, friend_removed,
channel_created/updated/deleted, server_updated
- Fix first-ever DM: broadcast dm_channel_created to recipient
- Add DELETE /api/dm/:id for closing DMs with re-open support
- Wire Close DM button in sidebar
- Fix dm_message_created for unknown channels (safety net)
- Broadcast friend_removed on friend deletion
- Sound system: track realtimeMessageEvents separately from API loads,
play notification for messages in all channels, not just current
- Optimistic updates: send/edit/delete messages appear instantly with
rollback on failure, temp message deduplication on WS echo
- Channel CRUD broadcasts to all server members
- Server update broadcast on PATCH
- Server join registers user in connectionManager immediately
- Reconnect: only reload current channel, preserve other channel caches
- Activity panel, right panel, member list toggle components
Disable AGC by default to prevent Chrome from crushing mic sensitivity
when stream audio is playing. Add user-facing toggles for echo
cancellation, noise suppression, and auto gain control. Decouple voice
and stream audio by routing through ctx.destination instead of shared
compressor. Track mic stream generation to re-publish when settings change.
Add MutationObserver to neutralize LiveKit's re-attached <audio> elements,
mark our keep-alive elements with data-opencord, detach tracks on unsubscribe,
remove dangerous blanket .play(), and soften compressor to transparent limiter.
Streams now appear as separate tiles in the voice grid alongside the
user's camera/avatar tile, matching Discord's model. Each stream tile
has independent volume, mute, watch/unwatch controls, quality badges,
and stream attenuation that ducks audio when someone speaks.
- 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)
- New PictureInPicture component: draggable floating window that shows
active stream when navigating away from voice channel, with LIVE badge,
snap-to-edge, click-to-navigate-back
- Fix VoiceUser to check actual track presence instead of boolean flags
for video rendering
- Add LocalTrackPublished/LocalTrackUnpublished events to useLiveKit
so local screen share and camera show immediately in VoiceGrid
- Add pipCollapsed state to uiStore
- 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
- Guard Disconnected/ConnectionStateChanged event handlers against stale rooms:
old room events no longer nuke the new room's state (root cause of buttons
failing, mute getting stuck, DUPLICATE_IDENTITY cascades)
- Reset media state (isMuted/isCameraOn/isScreenSharing) on connect to prevent
desync after reconnects
- Add voiceStates to WS ready payload so users see who's in voice on page load
- Wire VoiceControls buttons to check getActiveRoom() before SDK calls
- Guard ChannelSidebar against re-joining the same voice channel
- Switch LIVEKIT_URL to wss://nova.ddns.net/livekit for HTTPS secure context
(required for getUserMedia in Safari)
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
