Add overflow-hidden to MobileScreenStack stacked screen wrapper to
establish block formatting context. Add min-h-0 to MobileChatScreen
messages wrapper to override flex min-height: auto default.
- Add role="status" and aria-label to all skeleton containers
- Refactor ChannelSidebar from conditional siblings to ternary
for consistent mutual exclusivity with MemberSidebar pattern
Replace bg-surface-elevated cards and inline text badges with glass-pill
rows featuring colored left borders (mint=playing, sky=listening,
lavender=watching, rose=streaming). Identical treatment in both
ActivityPanel and MemberSidebar — no more compact/full distinction.
Members with rich activities get the frosted glass row; others stay plain.
Add cross-platform process scanning that detects running games and apps,
then broadcasts them as Rich Presence activities via the existing Phase 1
pipeline (activityStore -> WS -> other users).
- games.json dictionary with 26 entries (games, Spotify, VLC, OBS)
- activityDetector module: polls OS process list every 15s via execFile,
matches against dictionary, emits IPC on state change only
- IPC bridge in main.ts/preload.ts with cleanup on quit
- Frontend activityBridge subscribes to IPC and feeds activityStore
- Supports Windows (tasklist CSV), macOS (ps -c), Linux (ps)
- Task 7: Create activityStore (Zustand) with Map<userId, Activity[]>, showActivity toggle,
debounced pushActivities, and reset on logout
- Task 8: Wire WS integration — presence_update propagates activities to store,
ready payload initializes userActivities and showActivity (via setState to avoid side effects)
- Task 9: Create ActivityCard component with compact/full modes, type-colored labels,
elapsed time display, asset images, and fallback to customStatus
- Task 10: Upgrade ActivityPanel to three groups — active friends (full cards, no header),
online friends (compact), offline friends — using getPrimaryActivity for grouping
- Task 11: Upgrade MemberSidebar to show compact ActivityCards instead of raw customStatus
- Task 12: Add showActivity toggle in AccountPanel settings (Activity Status section)
with API persistence and store sync
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).
Use titleBarStyle: 'hidden' + titleBarOverlay on Win/Linux to remove the
ugly native title bar and menu bar while keeping OS-rendered min/max/close
buttons. Hidden Edit menu preserves keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C/V/X/Z/A).
Title bar drag region and separator line rendered via web frontend, with
colors matching the Aether Drift design system.
Also adds electron-builder metadata (description, author, homepage,
artifactName) and multi-size icons for cross-platform builds.
- 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
- Dev/prod URL auto-detection (Vite 5173 in dev, server 3000 in prod)
- Typed IPC bridge via preload (notifications, badge, window controls, updates, deep links)
- Native OS notifications via NotificationController with window focus suppression
- Auto-update via electron-updater with UpdateToast UI
- Deep linking (backspace:// protocol) for macOS and Windows/Linux
- Window state persistence (position, size, maximize across restarts)
- Tray icon with graceful fallback when icon asset missing
- Suppress PWA service worker polling/reloads inside Electron
- Platform detection layer (isElectron, getElectronAPI)
- Root workspace scripts (dev:desktop, build:desktop)
- Document BACKSPACE_URL and BACKSPACE_UPDATE_URL env vars
- 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
- Add subtle border + inset shadow to input tiers for resting-state visibility
- Fix DmSearchBar and SearchPopover containers missing input depth treatment
- Fix focus ring clipping in settings panel scroll container
- Swap search and member list toggle button positions in channel/DM headers
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.
Make /join/:code a public route with a standalone JoinPage that shows a
space preview and handles authenticated, unauthenticated, and cross-instance
users. Adds GET /api/spaces/invite/:code/preview (no auth) endpoint,
?redirect= param support on login/register, and cleans up dead invite
handling from AppLayout and JoinSpace modal.
- 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
Guard autoConnectAll against connecting to window.location.origin,
send perspective-correct replicatedInstances lists so remotes never
store self-references, and deduplicate unaccounted spaces in sidebar.
