iOS Safari auto-zooms (and shifts the viewport right) on focus when the
computed font-size is <16px. Single @media (max-width: 767px) block in
globals.css covers all four input tiers, every relevant bare <input>
type, <textarea>, <select>, and contenteditable surfaces. `!important`
is required because Tailwind utilities (text-[15px] on the chat composer,
text-sm on form fields) emit after @layer components and would otherwise
override the input-tier rules.
Replaces ad-hoc per-input `text-base md:text-sm` overrides with a single
global truth. New inputs/contenteditables get the fix for free.
Spec: docs/systems/design-system.md gains an "iOS Auto-Zoom Suppression"
section under Input Tiers.
iOS triggered both the app context menu and native text selection overlay
on long-press. Three-layer fix: CSS user-select:none on buttons/[role=button]/
[data-context-menu] elements; non-passive touchstart listener with conditional
preventDefault on context-menu targets; removeAllRanges() at timer fire to
clear any residual selection. Added data-context-menu to all mobile surfaces
that use onContextMenu handlers.
Add -webkit-touch-callout: none on mobile viewports to prevent the
native iOS copy/lookup popup from racing with our context menu.
Clear any text selection when the long-press timer fires.
- Custom screen share picker for Electron (ScreenSharePicker.tsx) with
Aether Drift design: glass-bubble footer, adaptive grid, pill tabs,
border-based selection (avoids overflow clipping), hover brightness
- Instance URL picker so Electron connects to any Backspace server
- System audio loopback on Windows/Linux via desktopCapturer callback
- macOS: video-only callback (OS blocks system audio capture)
- IPC bridge for screen source enumeration and selection
- Purge stale service worker caches on Electron launch
Remove width: 100% !important override that fought emoji-mart's shadow
DOM grid. Container now uses w-fit to wrap content tightly. GIF picker
gets explicit w-[390px] to maintain its own width independently.
Replace hard-edged ring ripples with blurred radial gradient orbs, add
subtle glass refraction shimmer, and use gentler glow/breathing curves
for a calmer incoming call experience.
- SSRF protection: DNS resolution + private IP blocking on metadata fetcher
- Upload security: CSP/X-Frame-Options headers, SVG forced download, nosniff
- Auth hardening: JWT secret min length, password min 8 chars, token revocation via password_changed_at
- Attachment ownership verification before linking to messages
- Message length limit (4000 chars) enforced on client and server
- Asset URL validation on avatar/banner updates
- Federation instance validation (domain regex, origin scheme, length limits)
- DB indexes on all FK columns for query performance
- Migrations: nullable moderator columns, dm_messages reply_to FK constraint
- File cleanup on avatar/banner replacement and space deletion
- Fastify trustProxy, AbortController on fetches, typing map size cap
- 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
Add .glass-modal CSS class (0.82 opacity) for dialogs and apply
consistent glass tiers across all floating UI: modals, context menus,
tooltips, popovers, and call cards. Replaces ad-hoc bg-surface-elevated
and inline styles with the documented 5-tier glass hierarchy.
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
Remove placeholder buttons (Threads, Inbox, Help) from channel and DM
headers. Add full-text message search with backend endpoints for both
space channels and DMs, supporting filters (from, has, before, after)
and pagination. Search popover with debounced input, highlighted matches,
and jump-to-message that scrolls with a highlight animation. Includes
messages/around endpoints for loading context when jumping to uncached
messages.
Move TypingIndicator from document flow (between MessageList and
MessageInput) into MessageInput's outer wrapper using absolute
bottom-full positioning. Fixes indicator being hidden behind the
floating glass input bubble on desktop.
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).
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)
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.
- 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

- Wire up unread state in chatStore (readStates, unreadChannels, ackChannel)
