Three changes to bring output volume closer to native apps:
- Insert masterBoost GainNode (+3dB) before the compressor/limiter
- Raise default system sound volume from 0.5 to 0.8
- Add configurable Sound Effects Volume slider (0–200%) in Voice settings
Replace the unreliable client-side DM dedup loop in populateFromReady with
a creation-time guard (findExistingDmForUser) that checks all instances
before opening a new DM. Guards added to FriendsPage, NewDmModal, and
UserProfilePopout.
Also fixes: corrupted read_states from temp_ optimistic message IDs (server
migration + client-side validation), federation-aware closeDm/addDmMember
API routing, isSelf-based DM member filtering in sidebar/header, and WS
event error isolation.
30s ping/pong keepalive prevents proxy/NAT from killing idle connections.
Reconnect sound now only plays if downtime exceeds 3s, suppressing phantom
audio from brief network blips.
- 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
