Fixed along the way. Dumps: clearing a dump's note sent `comment: undefined`, which JSON drops, so the server kept the old one; it's sent as null now. Replacing a file dropped a visibility change made in the same save (the file endpoint doesn't read it); it follows as a separate update. Renaming a dump onto a new slug kept showing the old title until reload. The thumbnail picker and delete on the edit page failed without a word, the latter as an unhandled rejection. Playlists: an edit that kept the slug waited on the socket's echo to show, and a new cover never appeared (the upload's answer was ignored, a refused one said nothing); covers were also served stale for an hour, since `max-age=3600` met an unversioned URL — setPlaylistImage now bumps updated_at and every cover URL carries `?v=` (playlistImageUrl). Removing a dump, reordering, and deleting a playlist ignored non-OK answers, leaving page and server apart; they restore, reload or report. Profile: clearing "Who am I?" sent undefined and came back on reload; your own upvoted list (and the upvoted page) was empty until the socket's welcome, and forever without one; "View all" under Following linked to a route that doesn't exist and is a Load more now. Chat: Escape on "Delete this message?" closed the whole chat — ConfirmModal takes Escape first, in the capture phase. Player: a pause or play from a media key, headset or the OS wasn't reflected (MediaPlayer follows the element's own play/pause events), and the seek bar tracked dragging with mouse events only, so on touch the thumb fought timeupdate. Feeds: a guest on /~/followed got a blank page; a server error in the followed feed read as "Could not connect". Search: a failed later page threw away the results shown. Notifications: a failed mark-read replaced a loaded list with an error. Silent failures now say so: deleting a comment, the voters/likers "Load more" (stuck on "Loading…"), and the password-reset request, which said "sent" whatever happened.
Notifications also stop hiding what was new: the bell still clears on opening the page, but the dots and the "N new" count stay for the visit instead of vanishing the moment the mark-read lands, and one arriving while the page is open is marked read too, so the bell doesn't count it.
Accessibility: Modal and ConfirmModal are dialogs (role, aria-modal, labelled/described); playlist membership rows are checkboxes that work from the keyboard; a dump's title, and the profile's email and description, can be opened for editing from the keyboard (the pencil shows on focus); the category editor's ✓ and the global player's video button have names. Player, rich-content and download labels were hard-coded English and are translated, with the new French strings. Lint: fast-refresh and render-purity rules are off for src/test/ only, where probes hand their context out on purpose.

Posting a dump was a single form where the important choices were the easiest
to miss. It is now three panels: link or file, why & where, playlists.
Composition:
- No more URL/File toggle. An empty panel offers both ways in at once and the
kind follows what you actually did; a file dropped anywhere in the modal is
accepted, not just on the zone.
- Categories and visibility get their own panel instead of a disclosure that
read as optional, and the primary button stays "Next" until they've been
seen. Visibility carries a real label now.
- The draft (link, title, why, categories, visibility) is mirrored to
localStorage on every change and restored on reopen, so Escape or a stray
backdrop click costs nothing. Only an attached file can't be restored, so
that is the one case that asks before closing.
- URL dumps can carry a poster-supplied title instead of being stuck with
whatever the page scraped, editable right under the preview.
- Multipart uploads go through XHR so there is a real progress bar and a
percentage on the button, rather than 50 MB of silence.
Duplicates:
- New dumps.url_canonical column (+ index, backfilled by 0013) holding a lossy
key that ignores scheme, www., trailing slashes, tracking parameters and
YouTube share shapes. GET /api/dumps/by-url reads it, and the create form
warns "already dumped by X" while it fetches the preview. Never blocking.
Fixes:
- /api/preview now reports whether the page was actually reached: a failed
fetch still yields a hostname-only stub, so a dead link and a page without
metadata used to render identically.
- The Web Share Target never worked. The manifest posts to "/", but the index
redirect dropped the query string, so every Android share landed on the feed
with nothing pre-filled.
- File dumps no longer take the extension into their title.
- The link field no longer autofocuses on touch, where it raised a keyboard
over the modal.

Thumbnails were failing in two different ways that both ended as an empty box.
Cloudflare hotlink protection answers a cross-site Referer with 403, so images
we had extracted correctly (dles.aukspot.com's og:image among them) never
rendered — every onError handler set display:none and swallowed it. The new
Thumbnail component loads with referrerPolicy="no-referrer", retries once
through /api/proxy-image for hosts that reject an empty referrer too, and only
then falls back to a placeholder.
Separately, the extraction cascade ended at the page's icon and then a guessed
/favicon.ico, so thumbnailUrl was almost never empty — just a 16x16 icon
cover-cropped into a 128x72 box. It now stops at real artwork, with faviconUrl
and accentColor (theme-color / msapplication-TileColor / mask-icon) as their own
fields. An absent thumbnailUrl finally means "no artwork", which is what makes
the placeholder possible: the site's own color mixed into the theme surface,
with its favicon centered on it, or its initial. Contrast holds for any
third-party color by construction rather than by luminance math, so nyt only
has to set --thumb-tint-strength to 0% to stay monochrome and geocities only
has to raise it. Missing accents fall back to a stable hostname-derived hue, so
rows saved before this get a tint with no backfill.
Migration 0011 reclassifies favicon-shaped thumbnailUrls on existing dumps.
The journal mosaic keeps its pull-quote and text fallbacks — the placeholder
appears there only to repair a broken image.
Also fixed: refresh silently overwrote good metadata with a failure stub, the
refresh button swallowed every error, refresh never broadcast the update,
extractBestIcon ranked SVG icons below 16x16 PNGs, and shared links with no
artwork carried no og:image at all.
