Soundboard: the trigger travels over the WebSocket and every client in the
call plays the clip locally, instead of mixing it into the presser's
microphone or publishing a LiveKit track. No upstream bandwidth, no media
stack changes, and the clip is not degraded by voice processing.
Fan-out uses a new sendToRoomParticipants rather than sendToRoom: the latter
broadcasts a space room to the whole space, which is right for the presence
the sidebar shows and wrong for anything audible. The cooldown is enforced
server-side — a client-side one only slows down people not trying to abuse it,
and a soundboard is the easiest thing here to turn into a weapon. Playing is
open to anyone in the call; deciding what the buttons are needs MANAGE_SPACE.
Account menu: the name in the user bar had cursor-pointer and no handler, so
the interface was already promising a click that did nothing. Offers profile,
status and copy-id — not the Clips or account switching the reference design
shows, which would be dead UI here.
Call timer: startedAt comes from the server, so a late joiner sees the call's
age rather than their own arrival. Empty space rooms are destroyed already,
which is what makes the next call start from zero — no reset logic needed.
The channel name under 'Voice Connected' was a plain div. Making it navigate
needed more than an onClick: voiceStore never recorded which space the call
was in, and spaceStore.channels only holds the space currently being viewed —
so after navigating away the call's channel was unresolvable, which is also
why the label degraded to a generic 'Voice Channel'.
Capture space and channel name at join time (the only moment they are
reliable) and use them for both the label and the jump. Covers space calls
and DM calls.
Two mirror-image bugs from voice/DM-call transitions leaving stale state.
DM call → space channel (stuck "Connecting…"):
The last participant to leave a DM call for a space channel receives a
`dm_call_ended` echo (server empties the DM room on their `voice_join`).
The handlers called `disconnectFn()` unconditionally, tearing down the
space room they had just connected to. Route `dm_call_ended` /
`dm_call_rejected` / terminal `dm_call_undeliverable` through a new
`teardownDmCall()` that only disconnects LiveKit when not in a space
channel (`currentVoiceChannelId` null).
Space channel → DM call (still shown as "in" the voice channel):
1. Entering a DM call never cleared `currentVoiceChannelId`, so
`VoiceChannel` mapped the DM call's live LiveKit participants onto the
old space channel. Add `clearSpaceVoiceForDmCall()`, called in
`connect()` when `isDm`, restoring the invariant that a DM call has no
`currentVoiceChannelId`.
2. `dm_call_accepted` gated the caller's connect on `!isLiveKitConnected`,
so a caller already in a space channel was never connected to the DM
room. Gate on `wasOutgoingCall` only (connect() de-dupes same-room).
Tests: teardownDmCall.test.ts, clearSpaceVoiceForDmCall.test.ts.
Docs: docs/systems/voice.md.
Voice presence (voiceStates/voiceUserStates/spaceVoiceStates) was only ever
delivered in the WS `ready` payload — i.e. at connect/reload. A user joining a
space mid-session got `member_joined` (no voice data) and a bare space object;
`GET /api/spaces/:id` (the channel-sidebar hydrator) carries no voice state
either. So members already sitting in a voice channel stayed invisible in the
new member's sidebar until a full page reload.
Fix at the systemic root: ConnectionManager.addUserSpace — the single chokepoint
every join path funnels through (invite, public join, join-request approval),
and which is NOT used on reconnect (that path uses setUserSpaces) — now pushes a
scoped `space_voice_state` snapshot to the joining user. The snapshot is built by
a new buildSpaceVoiceState(spaceId, userId) helper that is also the single source
of truth feeding buildReadyPayload (refactored to use it), so the connect-time
and join-time paths can never drift.
Robustness:
- Delivered over the same ordered WebSocket as voice_state_update deltas — no
REST snapshot-vs-event-stream race.
- VIEW_CHANNEL-filtered via computePermissions exactly like `ready`: a joiner is
never told who occupies a voice channel they cannot see.
- Client applies it scoped to the space (utils/voiceStateSync.applySpaceVoiceState):
merges occupants/statuses and rebuilds only that space's restriction keys,
never disturbing voice state in other spaces.
- Skipped when the space has no active voice and no restrictions (e.g. space
creation).
Tests: server helper behavior, the join push, and private-channel exclusion;
client scoped-apply. Specs updated (websocket.md, voice.md, spaces.md).
Replace ripped Discord audio with self-authored Ogg Vorbis files (avoids
copyright on open-source launch) and fix three cue bugs:
- Anti-pop envelope: playSound now applies a 10ms fade-in (+ tail fade-out
for one-shots) so buffers no longer start at a non-zero amplitude. Kills
the pop on the looping call cues. Mirrors playTestTone.
- Deafen no longer plays mute+deafen at once: toggleDeafen flips isMuted and
isDeafened atomically, so SoundController saw both transitions. New tested
pure helper selectVoiceStateSound() suppresses the side-effect mute cue.
- Viewer-side watch feedback: stream_user_joined/left now play locally on the
watcher's own machine for explicit Watch/Stop actions, via
handleViewerWatchToggle. Direct local playback (not a watchingStreams diff)
keeps auto-teardown silent and works identically on Safari and Electron.
Docs: docs/systems/sounds.md updated (Ogg, dual-audience cue rows, mute/deafen
selection, viewer feedback, anti-pop envelope).
Brings the parked mobile voice + screenshare polish from wip/mobile-polish
(commit dbb9b2c) into main. Conflicts in MainContent.tsx and mobile-ui.md
expected per the WIP commit message — resolved manually.
Three layered bugs all manifesting as "the group name doesn't show / the
placeholder is a 40-character wall of names":
1. **WS ready payload was missing `name`/`icon`.** The handler serialized
DmChannel rows with only `id, federatedId, ownerId, createdAt, members,
lastMessage`. The optional metadata fields were silently dropped, so
the client store never received `dm.name` until a subsequent
`dm_channel_updated` event fired (i.e. only mid-session renames worked,
never the initial render). `ownerHomeUserId`, `ownerHomeInstance`, and
`metadataUpdatedAt` were also missing — added too because federated
routing depends on `ownerHomeInstance` (`getDmOwnerHomeInstance`).
2. **Header surfaces silently dropped `dm.name`.** `MainContent` (desktop
chat header) and `MobileChatScreen` always rendered the joined member
names, even when `dm.name` was set. Five other surfaces (`DmListItem`,
`MobileDmsScreen`, `MessageList` welcome hero, `MobileGroupDmInfo`,
`GroupDmSettings`) honored it correctly, so a renamed group showed
different titles depending on which surface you looked at.
3. **Message-input placeholder rendered joined names.** Once a group
has 4+ members "Message #Alice, Bob, Charlie, Dave" overflows the
textarea and obscures the call-to-action.
Consolidates the display-name logic behind two utilities in
`dmFormatters.ts`:
- `formatDmHeaderName(dm, currentUser)` — `dm.name` verbatim if set,
else joined names (excluding self); falls back to `'Group'` /
`'Direct Message'`. Used by all 5 header surfaces (was inlined
5 different ways).
- `formatDmInputLabel(dm, currentUser)` — `'#<name>'` if set,
`'the group'` for unnamed groups (collapses the unreadable
joined-names form), `'@<partner>'` for 1-on-1.
`MessageInput` accepts an optional `placeholder` prop that bypasses the
default `Message {#|@}<channelName>` derivation; DM call sites use it
to inject the `formatDmInputLabel`-based form. 1-on-1 DMs keep the
canonical-view lookup so replicated aliases still surface the home
account's displayName; the placeholder reuses the canonical `dmName`
so header + placeholder stay aligned even when raw partner ≠ canonical.
13 new unit tests covering `formatDmHeaderName` (8 cases: named, blank,
joined, federated-username base, empty group, 1-on-1, no-displayName,
no-partner) and `formatDmInputLabel` (4 cases: named, unnamed,
whitespace-only, 1-on-1). 365 → 377 web tests, 1053 server tests,
typecheck clean.
Manual ownership transfers between two federated instances diverged because
`dm_channels.ownerHomeInstance` was stored as a BARE host (`orbit.ddns.net`)
for federated owners — via `transferGroupDmOwnership` copying `users.homeInstance`
verbatim — while `sourceInstance` always arrives as a full URL on the wire.
`processOwnershipTransferEvent` and `processMemberRemoveEvent` then compared the
two with strict equality and rejected legitimate inbound events as
`unauthorized_source`, keeping ownership permanently divergent across peers.
Live DB inspection on the two test instances confirmed both rows (nova + orbit)
had a BARE `owner_home_instance`, matching the bug report exactly.
Three compounding fixes:
1. Receiver authority checks now compare via `normalizeOriginForCompare` so
legacy bare-vs-full rows accept legitimate transfers (and kicks).
2. New `canonicalizeHomeInstance` helper in `federationAuth.ts`; every write
site that persists `ownerHomeInstance` (`transferGroupDmOwnership`, group DM
creation, lazy federation in member-add, `processMemberAddEvent` bootstrap,
`processOwnershipTransferEvent` receiver storage) routes through it. Full URL
is the canonical storage form, matching how `sourceInstance` arrives.
3. `dm_owner_updated` WS event extended with optional `newOwnerHomeUserId` and
`newOwnerHomeInstance` fields. Client `updateDmOwner` writes them when
present and leaves existing values untouched otherwise (legacy-server safe).
Without this, `getOwnerInstanceForDm` returned the previous owner's home
after a successful WS broadcast, routing the next owner-only op to the wrong
instance.
Coverage: new `federation.ownershipTransfer.test.ts` (7 receiver tests including
the headline bare-vs-full regression and the dedup replay guard); new bare-vs-full
case in `federation.kick.test.ts`; two new client-side cases in
`groupDm.ownerRouting.test.ts` covering both the extended-payload write path and
the legacy-server passthrough. Tests: 1053 server + 364 web, all green.
Specs updated: `dm-system.md` historical bugs + frontend handler table + WS
state-change events table; `federation.md` `ownership_transfer` receiver flow;
`websocket.md` event-fields table.
Transferring ownership or kicking a member surfaced "Target user is not a
member of this DM channel" whenever the target was a federated user.
Root cause: the client passed `canonical.id` from `useCanonicalUserView`,
which returns the user's HOME id when the home view is in the userViews
cache. After owner-routing the request to the owner instance, that
instance's `dm_members.userId` (its own local replicated id) never
matched the home id, so `isDmMember` returned false. The same failure
mode applied across any cross-instance scenario where the
channel-serving instance and the owner-serving instance disagree on the
local replicated user id for the same federated user.
Fix: both endpoints now accept federated identification, mirroring the
existing pattern on `POST /api/dm/:id/members`:
- `POST /api/dm/:id/transfer` body: `{ newOwnerId? } | { homeUserId, homeInstance }`.
Federated args win when both are supplied (strictly more specific).
- `DELETE /api/dm/:id/members/:targetUserId` reads optional
`?homeInstance=<origin>` query; when present, the URL segment is
treated as a homeUserId and resolved via `resolveOrCreateReplicatedUser`.
Client `api.dm.kickMember` and `api.dm.transferOwnership` gain an
optional `federated` argument; `DmRosterPanel` and `MobileGroupDmInfo`
pass it whenever the target has `homeUserId` + `homeInstance` populated.
Adds 5 server tests (3 transfer + 2 kick) covering federated targets,
the federated-wins-over-local precedence rule, and federated-non-member
rejection. Updates 2 client routing tests and 2 DmRosterPanel test
assertions for the new signature. Updates `docs/systems/dm-system.md`
and `docs/systems/api.md`.
Server: 965 tests pass (was 960). Web: 362 tests pass (was 360).

Fixes a render bug where a federated user (e.g. axel@nova) appeared with
the federation globe icon and a broken avatar when viewed on his own home
instance. Root cause: `populateFromReady` is first-wins by federatedId and
discards the entire skipped DM payload — including its `members` array —
so when a sibling instance's ready arrived first, the home instance's view
of every shared user was dropped on the floor.
Adds a render-only `userViews` cache that mirrors the `dmAlternatives`
philosophy: information from skipped ready payloads is preserved for
rendering. Every wire surface that delivers a User upserts into the cache
regardless of dedup outcome; render sites read through a Zustand selector
hook to surface the home view when one is loaded. The DM channel ingestion
race is left untouched — the existing no-flapping invariant on origin
reconnect is intentional and load-bearing for failover.
Layered changes:
- `identity.ts`: `normalizeOriginToHost`, `canonicalUserKey`,
`isDeliveryFromHome`, `isFederationGlobeApplicable` — single helpers
for origin/host normalization and the home/stub tier decision.
- `spaceStore.ts`: `userViews` Map, `UserViewEntry` type, `upsertUserView`
action with the home-wins preference rule, prune by `deliveredBy` in
`removeInstanceSpaces` (mirrors `dmAlternatives` cleanup), `reset`
clears.
- `userViewLookup.ts`: `useCanonicalUserView` (Zustand selector hook for
React) + `getCanonicalUserView` (sync getter for non-React paths).
Render reactivity is structural via the selector, not coincidence on
legacy update paths.
- `populateFromReady` upsert pass runs BEFORE the federatedId dedup so
members of skipped DMs still reach the cache.
- WS handlers (dm_message_*, message_*, user_updated, member_joined,
friend_request_*, dm_channel_created, dm_member_added) and REST
hydrators (socialStore, discoverStore, mutuals) feed the cache with
their delivering origin.
- Render-site routing through `useCanonicalUserView` at every audited
user-rendering site (sidebar, header, search, message bubble, reply
chips, profile popout/modal, group settings, voice tiles, mention
chips, member lists, friends, invites). Self-rendering sites compose
alongside via existing `isSelf`/`resolveDisplayIdentity`.
- Globe predicate hoisted to `isFederationGlobeApplicable` and applied
at three sites, gating on `domain !== window.location.host` so we
never show the globe for users whose home IS our own.
Tests: 31 new unit tests across `identity`, `userViews` store, and
`userViewLookup`. Full suite 276/276.
Docs: `client-federation.md` §3 gains a "User View Cache" section
parallel to "DM Origin Failover"; `dm-system.md` notes the new store
action and WS handler upserts.
Bug 3 (federation profile-sync gap — orbit's stale profile data on
nova-Axel after a clear/color-change on nova never propagated)
remains open. The user-view cache routes around it for the common case
(home instance is connected), but the underlying S2S relay gap is its
own diagnosis and follows in a separate branch.
Replaces the legacy /api/uploads call in RegisterPage with the tus-based
transferStore path. Extends Transfer to persist the server-assigned
filename (not just attachmentId) since downstream consumers store
attachment.filename on the user/space record.
- transferStore: rename setAttachmentId -> setAttachmentRef(id, attachmentId, filename)
and add attachmentFilename field to Transfer
- both startUpload + resumeUpload onSuccess paths now record filename
- new utils/waitForTransfer.ts: waitForTransferAttachment(transferId)
returns {attachmentId, filename}, with immediate-terminal handling
- RegisterPage: silent (tray:false) upload via transferStore, awaits
the helper, passes the server filename to api.users.update
Chromium gates the PulseAudio loopback path behind the
PulseaudioLoopbackForScreenShare feature flag. Without it, returning
audio: 'loopback' from setDisplayMediaRequestHandler rejects the whole
getDisplayMedia request, so screen share never starts when the user has
"Share system audio" enabled. Also surface a clear warning toast on
loopback failure (PipeWire-only without pulse compat, macOS without
Catap) instead of failing silently — no auto-retry, since the picker
selection is already consumed.
DmLastMessagePreview lacked a `type` field, so the sidebar rendered
`lastMessage.content` verbatim — surfacing JSON like
`{"event":"space_invite",...}` for space invites and member-add events.
Adds `type` to the preview payload (populated server-side from
`dm_messages.type`) and routes all sidebar call sites through a single
`formatDmSidebarPreview` helper that renders human-readable text for
each system event and skips the group `Sender:` prefix on system rows.
vitest+jsdom puts test code in a different realm than Node's TextEncoder,
so `toBeInstanceOf(Uint8Array)` rejects the encoder's return value even
though it is structurally a Uint8Array. `Object.prototype.toString.call`
checks the @@toStringTag tag, which is realm-safe.
LocalTrackPublished registers a one-shot onended on the camera track's
MediaStreamTrack. The handler:
- skips when consumeIntentionalCameraOff() flag is set (user-initiated)
- re-probes getUserMedia to distinguish NotAllowedError (permission
revoked) from NotFoundError (disconnected) from other errors
- tears down camera state via the unified path
Also reset _intentionalCameraOff in voiceActions if setCameraEnabled(false)
rejects, so a failed disable doesn't poison the next genuine unplug.
- Voice-bar and mobile camera buttons now use the canonical handler
(fixes mobile no-op and voice-bar wrong-preset bugs)
- Remove dead useLiveKit.toggleCamera
- Add _intentionalCameraOff flag with mark/consume helpers
Without this, when the local admin gate fires on friend-add, the user
got a generic 'Could not send friend request' fallback. Now they see
'Your admin needs to approve federation with this instance' with a
pointer to Connections settings where Task 12's pending-approvals
section shows their queued request.
Removes try/catch on the deleted InstanceNotConnectedError/Disconnected
classes (T17). Server now returns structured error codes; client maps
them to human-readable toasts via the new mapServerErrorToMessage helper.
The friend-add flow no longer triggers ConnectInstanceModal — the server
handles all routing/peering/lookup. The modal itself stays for Connections
settings and space-join flows.
buildCallUndeliverableToast renders "{peerLabel} couldn't ring anyone."
for the single-failure terminal case; multi-failure + non-terminal paths
fall through to existing lines (which already fold the new reason in by
peer label). TDD — four new assertions.
instanceStore registers three resolver functions at module load —
setApiForOriginResolver, setUserIdForOriginResolver,
setOriginFromHostnameResolver — whose backing `let` bindings used to
live in spaceStore. When the module graph was entered from
instanceStore (e.g. JoinSpaceModal importing useInstanceStore) the
order became spaceStore → chatStore → useWebSocket → socialStore →
instanceStore (top-level setter call) while spaceStore was still
paused on its line-8 chatStore import, so the backing `let` had not
been reached yet and the setter crashed with
`Cannot access '_getApiForOrigin' before initialization`. This left
InviteModal.test.tsx and JoinSpace.test.tsx unable to even load their
suites once AudioManager was mocked away.
Move the three `let` bindings, their setters, their pure getters, plus
the WS-populated user-ID cache (`_myUserIdByOrigin`, setMyUserIdForOrigin,
getCachedUserIdForOrigin, clearMyUserIdCache) into
`packages/web/src/utils/crossStoreResolvers.ts`. The utility imports
nothing from `./stores/*`, so no back-edge exists. spaceStore re-exports
the public surface for backward compatibility with the many existing
import sites; instanceStore imports the setters directly from the
utility (the in-cycle re-export path does not resolve at module-init
time under vite-ssr, so a direct import is required for the top-level
setter calls).
spaceStore's remaining wrappers (resolveUserOrigin, getLayoutHomeOrigin,
getMyUserIdForOrigin) stay where they are — they combine the utility's
pure lookups with authStore state — but now delegate to the utility.
Also adds the AudioManager mock to InviteModal.test.tsx and
JoinSpace.test.tsx so their suites actually load (same pattern already
used in 5 other test files). Net test-suite result: 127/131 pass (up
from 121/121 — +6 newly unlockable). The 4 remaining JoinSpace
failures are pre-existing stale UI-text assertions (the placeholder was
expanded and the submit button was made disable-when-empty) made
visible by the suite now loading; they're orthogonal to this change
and handed back for a separate triage.
Closes backlog #27.
failoverDmOriginsFromDisconnected(origin) walks pinned DMs and re-keys
them to a connected sibling origin's local channel id (via dmAlternatives
federatedId lookup). Preference: home first, then any connected remote in
insertion order. rekeyDmChannel performs the atomic rename across
spaceStore (dmChannels / channelOriginMap / channelLastMessageIds /
dmAlternatives), chatStore (via rekeyChannelState), and the URL (via
history.replaceState when viewing the rekeyed DM). Voice state is
intentionally untouched — LiveKit sessions can't migrate across origins.
Old origin's local id is retained in dmAlternatives for possible later
fail-back without another ready round-trip.
Friends fan-out (loadFriends/loadRequests) now waits for all remote
connections to establish before querying, fixing the empty friends list
when logged into a remote instance as a federated user.
- Add _autoConnectDone wait guard to loadFriends, loadRequests, and
loadFederatedMutuals (same pattern as discoverStore)
- Add concurrency guards to prevent thundering herd from multiple
ready events firing simultaneous fan-outs
- Fix deduplication to use canonical identity (homeUserId ?? id)
instead of id:origin, preventing duplicate entries for the same
user across instances
- Auto-connect to home instance when logged in as a federated user,
with registry entry so it appears in Connections UI
- Allow re-adding error/disconnected instances in probeInstance
Enable federated DM calls to route accept/reject/end through the correct
WebSocket connection using callOrigin, and include federatedCallId in all
dm_call payloads for server-side FederatedCallEntry lookup.
PNG conversion strips GIF animation. GIFs are now detected by URL
pattern (.gif extension or Tenor/Klipy CDN) and copied as URL text
instead, so pasting back into chat re-renders the animated GIF.
Implements image save/download (blob fetch + anchor trigger, fallback to window.open)
and clipboard copy (PNG write via ClipboardItem, fallback to URL text copy) with
toast feedback. Also adds ClipboardItem polyfill and Response.blob() content-type
fix to the jsdom test setup so the clipboard test suite runs correctly.
