Enforce lowercase usernames at registration/login, migrate existing
usernames, and fix ownership checks for federated spaces by resolving
user identity per-instance with getMyUserIdForOrigin.
- Add account deletion with tombstone (isDeleted flag), password/username
confirmation, owned-space guard, and full cleanup transaction
- Free deleted usernames by renaming to !deleted:<id> so they can be reused
- Add migration to retroactively free usernames from already-tombstoned users
- Add GET /api/auth/check-username endpoint with rate limiting for real-time
availability checking during registration
- Add debounced username availability indicator on registration Step 1
- Add DeleteAccountModal with federation-aware remote account cleanup
- Add federation ops utility for remote instance management
- Update sanitizeUser to anonymize deleted user profiles
- Add instance store improvements and connected instances modal updates
Refactor RegisterPage into a two-step flow: credentials first, then
personalization (display name, avatar upload, avatar color). Replace the
dual-panel sliding layout with conditional rendering and CSS keyframe
animations to eliminate overflow-hidden clipping of focus rings.
Supporting changes:
- Server accepts avatarColor on registration
- Auth store resets all user-scoped stores on login/register/logout
- Voice store gains resetSession() for full session cleanup
- Sync presence status to federated instances
- Propagate presence_update to socialStore regardless of origin
Root cause fix for all broken CSS variable opacity modifiers. Converted
every hex CSS variable to space-separated RGB channels (e.g. #fda4af →
253 164 175) and updated Tailwind config to use rgb(var(...) / <alpha-value>).
This makes bg-accent-rose/10, border-border-hard/50, etc. work natively
everywhere — no more currentColor fallback. Reverted all previous explicit
rgba() workarounds back to clean Tailwind syntax. Also fixed the voice
connection wifi icon SVG (was bottom-left aligned, now centered).
Server-side: handleReactionAdd/Remove now check dm_messages table when
message isn't found in server messages, enabling DM emoji reactions
via the same unified client event path.
Client-side: replaced all remaining broken opacity modifiers on CSS
variables (border-border-soft/50, bg-accent-rose/10, bg-surface-*/N,
etc.) with explicit rgba values. Tailwind can't decompose var() for
opacity, causing fallback to currentColor. Fixes 16 files across
error boxes, table borders, surface tints, and input separators.
Migrate all auth pages, modals, and shared UI components from Discord
visual language to Aether Drift design tokens. Zero discord-* classes
or raw Tailwind palette colors remain in components/auth/, modals/, ui/.
- Avatar: status dots use status-online/idle/dnd/offline tokens
- Tooltip, ContextMenu, UserProfilePopout: z-index raised to z-[200]
- LoginPage, RegisterPage: warm bg-surface-base with lavender glow
- All modals: inputs use surface-input, buttons use accent-primary
- Toggles: bg-status-online (on), bg-surface-input (off)
- ServerSettings: slider tracks, pills, danger zone fully tokenized
- Purged raw Tailwind green-500 leak in StreamingLimitsPanel success msg
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
Shift entire color palette from Discord's Ash theme to the darker Dark theme.
Redesign VoiceControlBar as floating auto-show pill, add gradient Join Voice
screen, move invite icon to server header, add voice channel user status
badges, update auth pages with subtle gradient backgrounds, and sweep all
hardcoded hex colors across 14 files to match the new darker palette.
- 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
