Add a server-side instance_settings table (single-row, CHECK(id=1))
that stores admin-configurable streaming bounds: bitrate min/max/step,
allowed resolutions, and allowed framerates.
Backend:
- New instance_settings schema + migrations (is_admin on users, default
settings row, first-registered-user promoted to admin)
- GET/PATCH /api/settings/streaming endpoints with admin-only writes
and full input validation including cross-field checks
Frontend:
- settingsStore fetches limits on WebSocket ready, exposes isAdmin flag
- ScreenShareSettingsPopover reads bounds from store instead of
hardcoded constants, auto-clamps stale localStorage values
- buildScreenShareOptions() clamps bitrate to server limits at build
time as enforcement backstop
- ServerSettings modal gains a "Streaming" tab (admin-only) with
bitrate range sliders, resolution/framerate toggles, and save/reset
Remove the legacy TEXT role column ('owner'/'admin'/'member') from
server_members and make the bitwise RBAC member_roles junction table
the sole authority for role assignments. Owner detection now uses
servers.ownerId exclusively.
- Remove MemberRole type and role field from shared types
- Remove role from Drizzle schema, raw SQL CREATE TABLE, and seed data
- Rewrite PATCH /members/:uid to accept { roleIds: string[] }
- Fix GET /members to populate roles array (was TODO)
- Replace member.role === 'owner' guard with isServerOwner()
- Remove getMemberRole() helper and legacy bridge code
- MemberSidebar groups by highest-positioned role instead of legacy string
- ServerSettings replaces admin/member dropdown with role checkboxes
- Message.tsx derives color from roles[] with owner fallback via ownerId
- Existing DBs keep vestigial column (Drizzle ignores it); new DBs omit it
Wire the bitwise permission engine end-to-end:
- Add sendToChannel() to ConnectionManager, filtering WS recipients by VIEW_CHANNEL
- Convert 6 channel-scoped events (messages, typing, reactions) from sendToServer to sendToChannel
- Add broadcastOverrideChange() to push channel_updated/channel_deleted per-user on override mutations
- Bridge legacy server_members.role TEXT to member_roles junction table on PATCH
- Add pushReadyPayload() to force re-sync frontend store after role changes
- Filter channels by VIEW_CHANNEL in GET /api/servers/:id to prevent initial load data leak
- Pre-compute viewers before CASCADE delete on channel_deleted
- Fix frontend channel event handlers to upsert/cleanup channelToServerMap and channelPermissions
- Add ChannelSettingsModal with Private Channel toggle and gear icon in ChannelSidebar
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.
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.
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)
Chrome's AEC uses getDisplayMedia audio as a reference signal and
aggressively ducks the microphone even when headphones are used.
This adds a screenShareActive flag to AudioManager that forces
echoCancellation off during screen share, plus Chromium-specific
goog* constraints as belt-and-suspenders.
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.
- 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
- 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
