Restructure the app shell into three top-level columns:
- The per-user sync status (video counts + live sync state) moves from the top bar to a
compact block at the top of the left nav rail (icon-only with a tooltip when collapsed).
- The feed's Mine/Library scope toggle moves to the top of the filter sidebar.
- The filter sidebar becomes a full-height sibling column with its own collapse control
(a thin rail carrying the active-filter count), mirroring the nav rail. The top bar is
now just the feed search / page title.
- Both panels' collapsed state is persisted to the user's preferences (server-side, so it
follows the account across devices), seeded from a localStorage cache to avoid a flash.
Default: both panels open.
- A clearer 'Admin' section header (thicker centred rule when collapsed) above the
admin-only modules (Scheduler/Configuration/Users), replacing the faint hairline.
- A small role chip (admin/user/demo) next to the account name — an avatar-corner dot
when the rail is collapsed.
Switching accounts does location.reload(), which preserves history.state — so the new
account re-mounted the Messages module from the previous account's _sub sub-view, whose
partnerId belongs to the OLD identity (often the new account's own id → an empty
self-thread). Symptom: after switching to the recipient you land on a blank thread and
the just-received message never shows (F5 keeps history.state); only going back to the
list and reopening the real conversation works.
Fix: (1) strip _sub/_ov from history.state before the switch reload so the new account
starts at the module root; (2) guard Messages so a thread view with partnerId === meId
falls back to the conversation list (can't message yourself).
- errorDialog + hints now use createStore (drop their bespoke listener arrays).
- theme/sidebarLayout/notifications/App filters/Playlists plSort use readMerged/
readJSON/writeJSON instead of inline try/JSON.parse/catch.
- Stats, SettingsPanel and App's channel filter/view tabs use usePersistedState
(the 3 sites that reinvented usePersistedTab inline).
- Every siftlode.* key now sourced from the LS registry (no scattered literals).
Move messaging out of the notification center into its own left-nav module
(own page, own unread badge), so a reload returns to it and notifications stay
separate. Add a Messenger-style floating dock (bottom-right): pop a conversation
out from the page, keep chatting across navigation, minimise (rollup) or close.
- Messages is now a routed page; NotificationsPanel reverts to inbox-only and the
nav badge no longer mixes in messages.
- Extract shared KeyGate + ChatThread (used by both the page and dock windows);
e2ee exposes a shared unlock subscription so page and dock agree.
- ChatDock (always mounted for human users) owns the app-wide live-message
subscription and per-device key restore. EN/HU/DE strings.
A Messages tab in the notification center (hidden for demo): set up secure
messaging with a passphrase (key generated + wrapped in-browser via WebCrypto,
stored non-extractable per device), unlock on other devices, then chat with
end-to-end encrypted, live-delivered messages. The server-authored Siftlode
welcome is readable before any key setup.
- lib/e2ee.ts: ECDH P-256 + HKDF + AES-GCM, PBKDF2-wrapped key, IndexedDB.
- lib/messagesSocket.ts: WebSocket client with backoff reconnect.
- Messages.tsx: key gate, conversation list with decrypted previews, directory,
thread with client-side decrypt + encrypt-on-send. Unread feeds the nav badge.
EN/HU/DE strings.
New admin-only Users page (sidebar): Users & roles (list + promote/demote with
confirm; self/demo/last-admin guarded server-side), plus the Access requests
(Invite whitelist) and Demo whitelist+reset migrated out of Settings → Account
(same data/tables — UI relocated only). Settings → Account now holds personal
content only. ConfigPanel learns a boolean field type (toggle) for the new
allow_registration setting. api methods, new 'users' page/route/nav/header, and
EN/HU/DE strings (new users namespace + access group).
New admin-only Configuration page that renders the system_config registry grouped
(Email/SMTP first), with per-field save/reset, write-only encrypted secret fields
(disabled with a hint when TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY is unset), and a Send-test-email
button. New 'config' page + sidebar nav item + header title; api methods and
EN/HU/DE strings.
The Settings > Sync tab moves into the Stats module: Stats is now a per-user
page (Overview tab = sync status + your own API usage + manual actions) with the
admin instance-wide quota dashboard + background-sync pause as an admin-only
System tab. The Stats nav item is visible to all users (was admin-only); the
Settings Sync tab is removed. Sync i18n strings move from settings.sync.* to
stats.sync.* (EN/HU/DE).
Fold the client-side transient bell into the inbox page so there's a single
notification indicator. The inbox now has two groups — "System" (durable,
server-backed) and "Activity" (client-side events with their Unhide/Unwatch/
Find-in-feed actions) — and the nav badge sums both unread counts. The separate
rail bell (NotificationCenter) is removed.
Activity items get a per-item clear (X) alongside the global Clear all. Unhiding
or unwatching a video from anywhere — a card, the toast's Undo, or the inbox —
now quietly resolves the original "Hidden/Watched X" entry (no duplicate "Unhidden
X" toast, no stale entry with a dead action), via a new resolveVideo store helper.
Show the unread count as a number on the collapsed nav rail (not just a dot), and
invert the badge colours on the active row so it isn't an accent-on-accent red blob;
centre the number on the circle.
Add a server-backed notification center that coexists with the client-side
transient bell: a per-user `notifications` table (type/title/body/data JSON/
read/dismissed), a `/api/me/notifications` CRUD API (list, unread_count, read,
read_all, dismiss, clear), and a left-nav inbox module with a live unread badge
polled via useLiveQuery. Known types render trilingual text from type+data
(English stored text is the fallback); read rows are trimmed past a soft cap.
Also adds the schema the maintenance job builds on: videos.list?part=status
columns (embeddable/privacy_status/upload_status) and the validation lifecycle
columns (last_checked_at, unavailable_since, unavailable_reason).
Page-id validation is centralized in one PAGES source of truth (isPage) so the
new page survives reload without a second allowlist to keep in sync.
- Split the rail into a content group (Feed/Channels/Playlists) and an admin
group (Stats/Scheduler) separated by a divider (system group hidden for non-admins).
- Move the language switcher, About and notification bell out of the top header
into an icon cluster above Settings (horizontal expanded, vertical collapsed).
Their popovers portal to <body> and anchor right + above the button, escaping the
nav's backdrop-filter. About is removed from the account popover (now in the cluster).
- LanguageSwitcher/NotificationCenter gain a 'rail' variant for the above.
- Also relocate the Toaster mount into the (now relative) content column.
New admin Scheduler page (left-nav entry) with a live, self-refreshing view of
job activity, queued work and quota. Polling is factored into a reusable
useLiveQuery hook (pauses when the tab is unfocused) that the notification bell
and future yt-dlp job queue will reuse instead of re-implementing.
Track every account that completes OAuth in a browser session (session 'account_ids',
~14-day cookie), so the user can switch between them without another Google round-trip.
New GET /api/me/accounts (switchable accounts, active flagged) and POST /api/me/switch
(guarded: target must be in the session list — proof it signed in here — and re-checked
against is_allowed in case the invite was revoked). Logout now signs out the active
account and falls back to the most recent remaining one, else clears the session. UI: the
account popover lists the other signed-in accounts (click to switch, reloads) plus an
'Add another account' action (-> /auth/login, which uses prompt=select_account).
Trilingual. Third step of Epic N.
The full-screen transparent dismiss backdrop sat directly behind the popover and acted as
a compositing layer, so the popover's backdrop-filter sampled it (empty) instead of the
page — making the glass look fully solid. Drop the backdrop and dismiss via document
mousedown/Escape listeners (like the other menus). Now backdrop-filter samples real
content and the frost shows.
Now that the popover is portaled to body its backdrop-filter actually samples the content
behind it, so the near-opaque glass-menu (needed only as a workaround while blur was
trapped) made it look solid. Switch it back to the frosty .glass (78%); the working blur
softens the background so text stays readable without the bleed-through. Trapped header
menus (language/notifications) keep glass-menu.
The nav's .glass backdrop-filter makes it a containing block for fixed descendants and a
stacking context, so the account popover's fixed inset-0 backdrop only covered the nav (not
the viewport) and the popover sat below the main content — controls behind it stayed
clickable. Portal the popover + its dismiss backdrop to <body> with fixed coords computed
from the trigger rect, so it's truly top-most (z-50) and blocks clicks underneath.
Floating menus hover over undimmed content (no backdrop scrim like dialogs), so the
frosted .glass (78%) let the content bleed through and hurt readability. Add a near-opaque
.glass-menu (surface 92%, keeps blur) and use it for the account, language, notification
and add-to-playlist popovers. Dialogs/chrome keep the frostier .glass (they sit over a dark
scrim / the ambient bg). perf-mode disables its blur too.
Apply the real frosted .glass surface (blur) to the few large chrome surfaces — the nav
sidebar, the header and all Modal-based dialogs (was glass-card / plain surfaces) — and
enrich the ambient backdrop a touch (three soft accent pools) so the glass has more to
refract app-wide. Popovers (notifications, language, account, add-to-playlist) were
already glass. Bulk feed cards stay glass-card (no per-card blur) for performance; the
existing perf-mode still disables blur. Phase 2 (ambient thumbnail mosaic / bg image +
toggle) deferred to end-of-project polish.
Move Settings out of the right-side overlay into a left-nav page (page='settings'),
so it opens where you're already looking — no cross-screen mouse travel. The Settings
rail item now sets the page (with active highlight) instead of opening a dialog; the
panel is refactored to an in-flow .glass card (keeps the frosted look over the ambient
backdrop), with the page title shown in the header. Removed the overlay + Esc/backdrop
close path.
Move the modules (Feed/Channels/Playlists/Stats) out of the avatar dropdown into a
persistent left sidebar with icon+label entries; collapses to a thin icon rail
(persisted in localStorage). Account actions (About, Sign out, admin badge) move to a
popover at the sidebar bottom; Settings is a rail entry. Header is now a contextual top
bar (sync status, feed scope + search or page title, language, notifications) — logo and
account menu removed from it. New nav.json strings (HU/EN/DE). First step of Epic N.
