- Add role="status" and aria-label to all skeleton containers
- Refactor ChannelSidebar from conditional siblings to ternary
for consistent mutual exclusivity with MemberSidebar pattern
Port the SpaceSidebar normalization pattern: convert 'before B'
to 'after A' so only one drop indicator renders at any gap.
Fixes double-line visual glitch and unreliable drops when cursor
is between two channels. Also adjust indicator offsets from
top-0/bottom-0 to -top-[1px]/-bottom-[1px] to center in the gap.
The channel sidebar voice user list was maintained by a separate
voiceUsers Map (fed by WS events + fragile hydration code) that diverged
from reality after server restarts — users shown in wrong channels,
duplicated across channels. The VoiceGrid was always correct because it
reads LiveKit participants directly.
Now VoiceChannel.tsx derives its user list from LiveKit participants for
the connected channel (single source of truth) and only falls back to
server-provided voiceUsers for channels the user is not connected to.
Removed all hydration band-aids that tried to sync the two systems:
- useLiveKit ParticipantDisconnected → removeVoiceUser
- useLiveKit ConnectionStateChanged → addVoiceUser hydration loop
- useWebSocket ready handler → dynamic import LiveKit hydration
Also includes: voice channel settings gear icon on hover, persist
per-user volume/mute prefs across sessions, default screen share
audio off on Electron (no system audio capture support).
Replace the static placeholder button with a fully functional search bar
that filters existing DM conversations instantly and searches for users
via the API with debounce. Supports keyboard navigation, federation-aware
DM creation, group DM display, and portal-based glass dropdown.
- Rewrite ChannelSettingsModal with full tri-state permission override UI
for roles and members (allow/neutral/deny per permission bit)
- Switch font from Inter to self-hosted DM Sans (woff2 variable fonts)
- Add client-side VIEW_CHANNEL filtering in ChannelSidebar for private channels
- Broadcast isPrivate flag on channel override changes
- Fix voice permission bit migration: gate behind persistent flag to prevent
repeated re-runs that stripped STREAM from @everyone roles
- Add speakingUserIds set to voice store for efficient user-level lookups
- Clear current channel view when a channel is deleted
- Move .glass-strip to @layer utilities for proper CSS specificity
- Simplify avatar initials font size to proportional formula
Replace fixed h-12 (48px) with py-3 + min-h-8 padding pattern to match
MainContent's 57px header height (12+32+12+1), fixing the 9px border
misalignment between sidebar and content headers.
Context menu insertion before floatingPanel shifted its fragment index,
causing React to unmount/recreate the DOM element on DM↔space transitions.
The ResizeObserver was left observing the old detached element, so
paddingBottom never adjusted and channels scrolled behind the panel.
- Reorder fragment children so floatingPanel is at index 1 in both views
- Replace useRef with callback ref so ResizeObserver reattaches on remount
- Add stopPropagation to ContextMenu to prevent sidebar menu conflicts
- Restyle sidebar create channel/category buttons (smaller, separated)
Add CreateCategory modal (replaces browser prompt) and right-click
"Delete Category" context menu on category headers with confirmation
dialog explaining channels will be uncategorized, not deleted.
Voice channels already support video/screen share, so the separate video
type was redundant. Adds migration to convert existing video channels.
Also adds border-border-soft to CreateChannel input fields for visibility.
Add drag-and-drop support for moving users between voice channels
(MOVE_MEMBERS permission required). Fix voice_moved handler using
wrong user ID for federated users — now uses the same isHome/
getMyUserIdForOrigin pattern as adjacent voice handlers.
- Add fileCleanup utility to delete uploaded files from disk on message/account deletion
- Add migration to clean orphaned DM channels, attachments, reactions, read states, and stale moderator refs
- Add FK constraints on dm_message_id in attachments and dm_reactions schema
- Make bans.bannedBy and voiceRestrictions.moderatorId nullable for deleted moderators
- Transfer group DM ownership on member leave or account deletion
- Fully clean up orphaned DM channels (zero members) including files
- Add "Leave Group" context menu for group DMs in ChannelSidebar
- Add leaveDm action to spaceStore
Broadcast user_updated events over WebSocket when profile fields change,
updating members, DM participants, friends, and cached messages in real time.
Widen useVoiceParticipantMeta to return the full user object and add a
standalone avatarColor prop to Avatar so all ~16 callsites now resolve
the user's chosen gradient color instead of falling back to hash-based colors.
Permission changes now take effect immediately without requiring
disconnect/reconnect. Modeled as "permission mute" parallel to
server mute — server recomputes SPEAK for all voice participants
on role/override changes and broadcasts state via WebSocket.
Includes amber UI indicators and mic toggle blocking.
Split monolithic UserSettings into AccountPanel, VoicePanel, ConnectionsPanel,
and InstancePanel tabs. Remove standalone InstanceSettings modal. Add reusable
Toggle component fixing size deformation, color inconsistency (green→purple),
and flex-shrink issues. Fix custom status clearing by always sending the field
to the server. Wrap Log Out button in glass bubble. Add subtle card depth with
borders.
Add isServerDeafened to mic icon slash conditions in VoiceControlBar and
ChannelSidebar. Restructure VoiceUser badge rendering to gate on effective
state (intent OR server enforcement) instead of only LiveKit participant
intent, fixing missing badges in the voice grid for server-muted users.
When a moderator lifted a server mute/deafen, the client was involuntarily
turning on the user's microphone because isMuted/isDeafened conflated user
intent with server enforcement. Now intent (isMuted/isDeafened) is never
mutated by server events. Effective state (intent || serverEnforcement) is
computed at broadcast and hardware time via centralized helpers.
- The client now dynamically resolves the user's federated identity via `getMyUserIdForOrigin` when evaluating incoming `voice_server_muted` and `voice_server_deafened` events. Previously, the client incorrectly compared the remote event's federated `userId` against the local `authStore` home `userId`, causing federated users to silently drop restriction events.
- Client-side mic/deafen toggles (`toggleMic`, `toggleDeafen`) now accurately evaluate the user's origin-specific ID against the restriction sets, preventing federated users from bypassing locks.
- UI state selectors (`VoiceControlBar`, `ChannelSidebar`) now compute `myOriginId` to correctly render the yellow server-lockdown indicators for cross-instance users.
- Replaces global `userId` tracking with `spaceId:userId` composite keys across both backend and frontend, fixing the issue where server-muting a user in one space bled into others.
- Modifies client-side `ready` event hydration to merge voice states per-origin instead of completely overwriting the store, preventing federated connections from wiping out home instance mutes.
- Excludes server voice restrictions from `zustand/persist` so stale client caches don't override the server's authority on reload.
- Fixes React component reactivity by using reactive store selections for `spaceId` instead of imperative `getState()` calls, ensuring UI lockdown indicators accurately reflect the initial websocket handshake.
When a moderator server-deafens a user, the implied mute is server-imposed
and should display amber (not red) everywhere. Updated VoiceControlBar,
ChannelSidebar, VoiceChannel, and VoiceUser to check isServerDeafened
alongside isServerMuted for amber color and cursor-not-allowed state.
Also includes smart mute/deafen toggle logic (Discord-style coupling),
server-side enforcement of mute/deafen bypass, and cleanup of server
voice state on user departure.
Add ban/unban functionality with BansPanel in space settings, voice
moderation context menu (mute/deafen/disconnect), and fix federated
space settings panels to use origin-aware API client. Show domain
indicators for federated members in MembersPanel.
Move instance-level administration out of Space Settings into its own
modal. Adds admin UI for instance name, registration toggle, and
discovery toggle. Streaming limits panel relocated from SpaceSettings.
- Add InstanceAdminSettings type and GET/PATCH /api/settings/instance
- Add registration_open DB column (nullable, env var fallback)
- Auth registration and instance info now check DB override
- New InstanceSettings modal with General and Streaming tabs
- Admin shield button in UserAreaPanel (visible to admins only)
- Remove Streaming tab from SpaceSettings
The Explore page shared /channels/@me with Friends, differentiated by a
showExplore UI flag. When PiP navigated to a voice channel, the stale
flag caused MainContent to render text chat instead of the voice grid.
Replace the flag with a dedicated /explore route so the URL is the
single source of truth.
Send explicit voice_leave to the old instance when joining voice on a
different origin, preventing stale voice state from showing the user in
two channels. Also make WS reconnect voice re-registration origin-aware
so remote reconnects properly restore voice state.
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.
- Fix DM welcome header avatar using home identity for correct gradient color
- Register DM channel IDs in channelOriginMap so federated DM operations
(reactions, messages, typing) route to the correct instance
- Pass origin when creating DM channels from friends list and WS events
- Add server discovery/explore page with public server listings
- Add server visibility and description fields
Add identity.ts with isSelf() and resolveDisplayIdentity() — pure
stateless functions that detect replicated-self using the immutable
(username, homeInstance) composite key. No store lookups, no data
mutation. Fixes wrong avatar gradient and missing edit/delete on
own messages in remote channels.
Also includes: optimistic message dedup fix for cross-instance
messages (content-only matching), federation toast notifications,
Username component with @domain display, invite parser, and
deploy script simplification.
Phase 5 of multi-instance federation. Adds a two-layer fix:
Layer 1 — Data ingestion normalization: Remote instance user avatars,
server icons, and attachment filenames are rewritten to absolute URLs
when entering the app (via WebSocket events or API responses), so all
downstream components render them correctly without changes.
Layer 2 — Outbound action routing: wsSend calls (voice join/leave/status,
typing) and file uploads in UI components now route through the correct
instance based on the active channel's 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.
Replace @apply border-none with @apply border-0 on global * selector.
border-none sets border-style: none, which silently kills all Tailwind
border utilities (they only set width/color, relying on preflight's
border-style: solid). border-0 sets border-width: 0 instead, preserving
the solid style so border-r/border-l/border-b utilities render correctly.
- Add border-r border-border-hard to ChannelSidebar (both DM and server views)
- Add border-l border-border-hard to MemberSidebar and ActivityPanel
- Replace shadow-header with border-b border-border-hard on sidebar headers
- Remove duplicate mt-1 on reaction container (parent gap-1 already provides 4px)
Channel sidebar: subtle bg-surface-elevated highlight with rounded-[6px],
active channel left pill, rose unread dot on right, smaller #/voice icons
(18px), 10px horizontal padding, 24px voice user avatars at 36px indent.
Reaction bubbles: inline styles for background/border colors to bypass
Tailwind opacity modifier failures on hex CSS variables. Both mine (mint
tint) and non-mine states now render visible pill containers reliably.
PiP positioning:
- Replace hardcoded layout constants with dynamic DOM measurement system
- Obstacle elements declare themselves via data-pip-obstacle="left|bottom"
- getPipBounds() queries actual element rects at runtime via getBoundingClientRect
- MutationObserver + ResizeObserver re-clamp PiP when obstacles appear/resize
- PiP reappears after close when navigating away from voice channel
Reactions:
- Align reaction pills with Aether Drift prototype
- Own-reaction accent: purple → mint (bg, border, count color)
- Default pills: subtle white overlay bg + border-soft border
- Count text: 12px/semibold/txt-secondary per prototype spec
Bug fix:
- Deduplicate channel insertion in createChannel store action
- Prevents double-add race between REST response and WS broadcast
Avatar fallback gradients were hashed by display name alone when no
user prop was passed, causing the same person to appear in different
colors across messages, replies, member lists, voice panels, etc.
Added userId prop to Avatar and wired it through all 17 call sites
so the gradient always hashes by user ID.
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
