Content was left-aligned in the content pane, making it appear
off-center relative to the full modal. Add mx-auto to center
the max-w-[640px] wrapper within the content area, matching
Discord's centering behavior.
- Add "Discover People" section to Add Friend tab with user cards, mutual counts, and inline actions
- Add discoverStore for fetching/searching discoverable users across local and federated instances
- Add PrivacyPanel to user settings with discoverability toggle
- Add is_discoverable column to users table with migration
- Fix "Send Friend Request" button vertical alignment using transform centering
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.
Fix three federation bugs in Space Settings: icon URL was double-wrapped
through home API, upload targeted home instance instead of remote, and
updateSpace used home API client. Also restyle settings panels (User,
Space, Members, Roles, Connected Instances) with consistent section
headers, grouped cards, and improved layout.
Replace inline Save/Discard/Reset buttons with sticky glass-bubble pills
that float at the bottom of scrollable modal content. Make SpaceSettings
tab sidebar sticky with glass material. Convert RoleEditView "Back to
roles" into a sticky glass pill at the top. UserSettings Log Out + Save
always visible in a glass pill with separator. Also includes floating
position hook and popover/tooltip improvements from prior work.
The echo gate architecture bypassed the serialized mic management chain
and introduced race conditions. Chrome's AEC handles echo properly for
both headphone and speaker users without custom intervention.
Introduce instanceStore (Zustand) with full federation lifecycle:
probe remote instances, register with username collision fallback,
login to existing accounts, sync instance list across all connected
instances, auto-reconnect from cached tokens on login/page load, and
cleanup on logout. Add ConnectedInstances component to User Settings
with home instance card, remote instance management, and inline
add-instance flow (URL probe → register/login → connected).
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.
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.
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
- RNNoise (AI Noise Suppression) now enabled by default for all users
- Remove redundant browser Noise Suppression toggle from VoiceControls
and UserSettings — AudioManager handles it automatically as fallback
- Add AI Noise Suppression toggle to UserSettings panel
- Rename toggleRnnoise → setRnnoiseEnabled for clearer API
- Store migration v3→v4: enable RNNoise for existing users
- Keep Echo Cancellation and Auto Gain Control (orthogonal features)
Chrome's AEC uses getDisplayMedia audio as a reference signal and
aggressively ducks the microphone even when headphones are used.
This adds a screenShareActive flag to AudioManager that forces
echoCancellation off during screen share, plus Chromium-specific
goog* constraints as belt-and-suspenders.
Disable AGC by default to prevent Chrome from crushing mic sensitivity
when stream audio is playing. Add user-facing toggles for echo
cancellation, noise suppression, and auto gain control. Decouple voice
and stream audio by routing through ctx.destination instead of shared
compressor. Track mic stream generation to re-publish when settings change.
- 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
Phase 1 - Feature Repair:
- Fix member kick/leave: add missing db.delete() call in servers.ts
- Stabilize invite codes: return existing code instead of regenerating
- Fix user search: use LIKE instead of exact match in social.ts
- Wire DM button on FriendsPage to create/navigate to DM channels
- Add cancel outgoing friend request (DELETE endpoint + frontend)
- Add accept/decline friend request actions with WS real-time events
- Fix replyToId persistence in message creation
- Hydrate reactions and replyTo in message queries
- Add joinByCode to API client and serverStore
- Add friend_request_received/accepted WebSocket events
Phase 2 - Discord UI Overhaul:
- Remove stray borders between layout columns
- Replace shadow-sm with shadow-header on content headers
- Replace all bg-gray-*/text-gray-* with Discord color tokens
- Ensure flat color contrast (#1E1F22, #2B2D31, #313338)
Testing:
- Set up vitest + @testing-library/react + jsdom
- Add 17 tests across InviteModal, JoinServer, FriendsPage (all passing)
- Fix vite resolve.extensions to prefer .tsx over stale .js files
