test

v4: a playlist's editor has a URL, as a dump's has — it opened over the playlist's header as a state of the page, which a reload or a shared link lost, while a dump's editor is /@name/dumps/<slug>/edit. It is now /@name/playlists/<slug>/edit: Edit goes there, and Cancel or Save come back to the page in its place. Both paths render PlaylistDetail at the same place, so the playlist stays loaded, and a new slug keeps the view. Anyone who may not edit it gets the page, a guest the sign-in first. playlistPath takes the view, and parsePagePath reads it, so its link has no preview, as a dump editor's has none.

api.ts

v3: every doc opens with the role, then the mechanism, then the details — the docs were written bottom-up: what a thing does first ("Declares the three contexts WSProvider fills…"), details that only make sense once its purpose is known next, and the reason it exists last ("…so that a feed doesn't re-render"), so a reader had nothing to hang the first sentences on. The README's rule caused it, since a module doc "opened with what the module does"; it now opens with the module's role in the app, and the value-side phrasing of a type ("Returned to Y by X") comes once the role is said, with WSContext as the before and after. WSContext.ts is rewritten that way throughout, and so are the docs elsewhere that buried their purpose in a trailing "so that" (the migrations, og, image-proxy, public-address, useFading, useFeedCache, the drafts), opened on a generic verb that hid it ("Holds", "Declares", "Loads", "Defines", "Types": the contexts and providers, the shared types, the models, the hooks), or were label fragments ("The page of a dump…", "A row of tabs."). A function whose verb is its action ("Stores session"), a props or result type, and a protocol message ("Sent by X when Y") already say their role and are left as they are. Only comments changed, and the catalogs only move their references; deno fmt, deno lint and doc:lint are clean.

attachment.ts

v4: what the server and the client both state is declared once — several rules were written out in two or more files, some already drifting apart. A link's site name (its host without www.) was computed in five places, now shared/url.ts's siteHost; dumpFileVersion, which the frontend and the server had to keep equal by hand, is one function in shared/dump.ts; the Markdown flattening of the chat's reply previews and the digest's quotes is shared/markdown.ts's markdownToPlainText, so the digest also keeps an image's alt text; an attachment's URL and how to find one in a text are shared/attachment.ts, which the editor, Markdown and attachment-service read, its id pattern the new UUID_RE that the file and thumbnail routes check ids with. On the server, the Bandcamp, YouTube playlist and link preview caches use one TtlCache (api/lib/ttl-cache.ts) instead of three copies of the same expiry and eviction; the link previews' theme-color and the emails' theme tokens read colours with one parser (api/lib/css-color.ts), and a transparent theme-color now gives no tint; the WebSocket route sends through ws-service's send, the welcome included, so it is type-checked; fetch.ts strips an IPv6 literal's brackets with public-address's bareHostname; and a category's slug is checked by the same validateSlug as a dump's, with its own length. The migrations keep their frozen copies, as they document. 272 backend tests and 677 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint and doc:lint are clean.

category.ts

v4: playlists have categories of their own — a set apart from the dumps', which admins manage on /manage under "Playlist categories", next to "Dump categories". Each category now has a kind, dump or playlist, its slug and name unique within its kind only; migration 0025 rebuilds categories with the column, every existing one becoming a dump category with its dumps, and adds playlist_categories. A playlist's owner files it under any of them in the create and edit forms, and it shows them as chips on its card and its page, each leading to /playlists/<slug>.

2026-10-09 21:53:16 +00:00

chat.ts

v4: a moderator's or an admin's @everyone in the chat notifies every user — there was no way to reach everyone at once. The new chat:everyone permission, held by moderators and admins, lets a chat message saying @everyone notify every user but its author and those reading the chat, through notifyEveryone, after notifyMentions, so a user also named is told once, by name; the notification is a user_mentioned with everyone set, which the notifications page and the digest word as "mentioned everyone in the chat". chat_messages.mentions_everyone, sent as ChatMessage.mentionsEveryone, is set from the author's role each time the body is written, so a user's @everyone reaches no one, a moderator's edit of a user's message can't make it reach everyone, and a demoted author's next edit loses it. Only an edit that adds @everyone notifies, so fixing an announcement's typo reaches no one new. The client highlights and chimes by the flag, never by the text; Markdown shows @everyone as a mention only in a flagged message, and never links it to a profile. The chat composer offers @everyone first to those who may say it. No account may be named everyone, in any case: migration 0023 adds the column, flags the moderators' and admins' past @everyone messages, renames a user named everyone to everyone_N and drops an alias everyone. 265 backend tests and 681 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked in screenshots of the chat at 1280 and 390px, with a moderator's and a user's @everyone and the suggestions open.

comment.ts

v3: every doc opens with the role, then the mechanism, then the details — the docs were written bottom-up: what a thing does first ("Declares the three contexts WSProvider fills…"), details that only make sense once its purpose is known next, and the reason it exists last ("…so that a feed doesn't re-render"), so a reader had nothing to hang the first sentences on.

A function whose verb is its action ("Stores session"), a props or result type, and a protocol message ("Sent by X when Y") already say their role and are left as they are.

community.ts

v4: a /community page shows the site's week and month, from the same figures as the digests, and every recurring server task is a job of one scheduler — the digests' top dumps and community section (who joined, the new public playlists, the chat and the totals) existed only in emails. community-service.ts now gathers them for a period from listTopDumps, listNewUsers and listNewPublicPlaylists, each in its own service and returning the API's Dump, PublicUser and Playlist; the digest builds its sections from the same call, its email-only DumpRow and DUMP_COLS replaced by one Dump mapper that networkOf uses too, and links its community section to the page. The page, /community for the last week and /community/monthly for the month, signed in only and linked from the avatar menu, reads GET /api/community?period=, which serves figures kept in memory and recomputed every GERBEUR_COMMUNITY_REFRESH_MINUTES (15 by default). It shows the four figures, the top dumps and the new playlists as live cards, and the new members as UserCards, the follow tab's user row made shared. Its words are the emails' own: the messages both use are renamed from email.digest.* to digest.*, as digest.weekly.off was. api/lib/scheduler.ts's startJobs runs the digests, the community refresh, the WebSocket ping, the typing expiry and the rate-limit sweep, which main.ts starts, so none of them runs on import any more. PERIOD_MS moves to shared/settings.ts. community is reserved as a category slug, and migration 0022 renames a category that had it, with renameReservedCategories moved out of 0021 into reserved-slugs.ts. A group's dump or playlist cards now fill its column. 262 backend tests and 678 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked in screenshots in Smooth light at 1280 and 390px, Smooth dark with mocked playlists, Brutalist dark at 390px and Kanagawa dark at 1280px.

digest-messages.ts

v4: every message named by an id carries its English in the code — the emails and the four pages that share their words called Lingui with a bare id (i18n._("digest.community"), <Trans id="digest.community" />), so their English lived only in a hand-kept en.po, extract couldn't run with --overwrite, and a page reading the code couldn't tell what it said. The emails now pass descriptors, i18n._({ id, message, values }), the form Lingui reads without a macro, as the server needs. The fifteen messages the digest shares with the community page, Settings, the unsubscribe page and the avatar menu are declared once, as /*i18n*/ descriptors in shared/digest-messages.ts, which those pages translate with useLingui()'s i18n instead of the global one. lingui.config.ts scans shared/ too, and i18n:extract runs with --overwrite, so en.po is written from the code. Every other message already used the macros. The compiled catalogs are unchanged, key for key, in both languages. 272 backend tests and 677 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean.

2026-10-09 13:19:01 +00:00

dump.ts

v4: link previews are read once, in one place, and no longer take an error page, a relative image or a mask icon for the page's — each provider fetched its page and scanned it with regular expressions of its own, the generic one some fifteen times, and Bandcamp and SoundCloud read only OG tags. fetchPage (remote/fetch.ts) now fetches every page, follows redirects to the address it was served from, and refuses an error status, so a 404 or a bot challenge is unreachable rather than a preview titled "Just a moment...", and a refresh no longer overwrites good metadata with it. parsePage (remote/html.ts) reads it in one linear pass with a real attribute reader: unquoted values, a > inside quotes, og: tags under name as well as property, and nothing from comments or scripts. Every URL a page names is resolved against where it was served from, so a relative og:image works; entities are decoded in one pass, é and ’ included, and one that names no character no longer fails the preview (bandcamp-tralbum.ts shares the decoder). The mask icon is no longer the favicon, JSON-LD prefers the page's node over the site's, tracking pixels and lazy placeholders aren't thumbnails, an og:url with a slug keeps the OG tags, and a <title> loses its site suffix. genericPreview is the base of the Bandcamp, SoundCloud and YouTube channel previews; SoundCloud takes www., m. and on.soundcloud.com short links, embedding the page they lead to, and Bandcamp keeps only its own player. The service tidies every preview: text on one line, titles and descriptions capped, only http(s) images and players. RichContent.type is now RichContentType, and the unused videoId is gone.

2026-10-09 20:46:32 +00:00

federation.ts

v4: a deployment chooses which ways federated sign-in goes — every instance took users of the others and let its own sign in to them, with no way to turn either off. GERBEUR_FEDERATION_INCOMING=0 keeps users of other instances out: the login and register pages offer no other instance, /manage no list of instances, their sign-ins are refused, and those already in are signed out until it is on again, their homes' events still applied meanwhile. GERBEUR_FEDERATION_OUTGOING=0 keeps the instance's users from signing in elsewhere: its /authorize page lets no instance sign them in, its metadata says so (gerbeur_outgoing), which other instances check before sending anyone there, the settings page lists no instances, and at startup every grant is withdrawn, which signs them out there. Both are on by default and reach the client through index.html. The dev instance gerbeur (:3000) takes no users of the others, while its own still sign in to them.

2026-10-09 16:18:21 +00:00

follow.ts

v4: every page and API URL follows one of two rules, written down in API.md — pages are a hierarchy where @name is a user and any other root word a category or an app page, tabs and views are plain segments and a default view is the bare path; API resources are /api/<plural>/<key>, a user's key being an id or @name, the caller's things under /api/me, media a sub-resource, lookups by another key a query filter. ~ is gone: the feed is /, /hot, /new, /journal, /follow and /music/hot, a profile /@bob with its overview and the tabs dumps, upvoted, playlists (her own only), follow (users, and /follow/playlists), invitees and manage (role and name, for user:manage), which replace the separate UserDumps, UserUpvoted and UserPlaylists pages; /settings holds the account (now with the username) and /manage the category manager, both linked from the user menu and one's profile. Dumps and playlists live under their owner, /@bob/dumps/<slug> and /@bob/playlists/<slug>, named by slug alone: migration 0021 re-slugs them to the bare slugify(title), unique per owner and kind (the oldest keeps it, clashes get -2), renames the categories whose slug v4 reserves (hot, follow, settings…), and rewrites this site's v3 links in dump notes, comments, chat, and playlist and profile descriptions. A slug changes only when edited, through the edit forms' new link field, which proposes slugify(title) as the title changes; a username changes from /settings or, for user:manage, from /@name/manage. Every slug or name left behind stays an alias of its item or user for good (dump_slug_aliases, playlist_slug_aliases, user_aliases), so old links redirect without chaining and nobody else can take one; slugs change 3 times a day per item, names once in 30 days, moderators exempt. An alias, or a name in another case, answers the item with its current path: the pages put it in their URL (useCanonicalPath, without fetching again), and the OG middleware answers a 301. shared/paths.ts builds and parses every page path, for the client's links, the emails' (digest-service lost its own builders and its id fallbacks, and links /follow and /settings) and the server's matchers (OG tags, self previews, backlinks, self-url); shared/slug.ts holds slugify and the format categories share. Dumps and playlists carry ownerUsername and a required slug, and notifications join their users' current names and their items' paths each time they are sent or read, so renames reach them and a deleted item's has no link. The API was renamed per the plan's table: POST /api/users and /api/sessions, /api/password-resets, /api/me (with settings, password, avatar, media-token, playlists?contains=, follow, feed?from=, notifications), /api/users/:key/{dumps,upvoted,playlists,follow/users,follow/playlists,invitees,avatar} and by path /api/users/:key/{dumps,playlists}/:slug, /api/dumps?url= and ?category=, /api/dumps/:id/{file,thumbnail,metadata}, /api/playlists/:id/cover, /api/remote/{preview,image,bandcamp,youtube} (one router), and /api/unsubscribe, the v3 POST /api/users/unsubscribe staying for the digests already sent. A stored default feed tab "followed" reads as "follow" once. dumps.slug and playlists.slug stay nullable, since SQLite can't add NOT NULL without rebuilding tables others reference; every writer sets them and unique (user_id, slug) indexes hold them. 254 backend tests (new: migration 0021 on a v3 fixture, slug aliases, swaps and rate limits, username renames, aliases and limits, reads by path and their privacy, the OG 301s, both unsubscribe paths, v4-shaped digest links with no ids, notification joins, shared paths and slugs) and 668 frontend tests (new: the profile's tabs and follow views, Settings, Manage, the link field, canonical URLs on the dump, playlist and profile pages, bare default feed paths) pass, and tsc, eslint, deno check, deno lint, deno fmt and doc:lint are clean; the migration was also run on a copy of the development database.

2026-10-06 16:08:59 +00:00

locale.ts

v4: weekly digests and monthly recaps go out by email, every email is written once as Markdown in the app's one catalog, and a review of the last two commits removes what they stated twice — users get a weekly digest (what happened to them, what the people and playlists they follow posted, the week's top dumps, the community) and a monthly recap (the month's top dumps and the community), both on by default, in their own style and scheme. digest-service sends what is due every quarter of an hour from digest_schedule (migration 0020), which holds each user's rolling 7- or 30-day period; existing users' first periods are spread over the coming week or month, a digest more than a period late covers the last full one, an empty one isn't sent, and an address like admin@localhost is skipped. Each digest carries a one-click unsubscribe (List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post, POST /api/users/unsubscribe) and a link to the new /unsubscribe page, which asks before turning that cadence off, since mail scanners open every link; the token (lib/jwt) names the user and the cadence and never expires. The welcome email now says the digests are on. The emails' words moved out of a hand-written api/mail/strings.ts into the Lingui catalogs the interface uses: lingui extracts api/mail/ too, the catalogs moved to a top-level locales/ that both halves read, compile emits ES modules the server imports (api/mail/i18n.ts), messages take ICU plurals, and the labels the settings tab, the unsubscribe page and the emails share are one message each (their French had already drifted apart). Each template writes its email once as Markdown, which is the plain-text part, and EmailKit.render draws its blocks in the style (a lone link is a button, a list item starting with an image a thumbnail row, a numbered list a ranking, --- the footer), so no string is declared for an HTML and a text version; user text is escaped for Markdown, which the welcome body didn't do for usernames, whose _ read as emphasis. paint() set colors before a border-top shorthand that reset them, so every divider was black. The review also gave one home to what was written twice: the locale list (shared/locale.ts, read by lingui.config, the client, the server and its catalog loader), the base style and default scheme (shared/theme.ts), an email's look (lookOf, which digest-service, welcome and reset share), whether email is on (EMAIL_ENABLED, read by email-service and index.html), a setting's column and its default in the digests' SQL (SETTINGS_COLUMNS, DEFAULT_SETTINGS), the unsubscribe token (made once, not parsed back from a URL), AuthProvider's compare-and-store, ThemeProvider's twin style and scheme code (useThemeChoice), the test JWT encoder, and duplicate digest messages. The email palettes stay a flattened copy of the themes' tokens, now under a test that caught Times' secondary and link colors drifting. The Dockerfile copies api/mail and locales so the build extracts the emails' messages and the server finds its catalogs, and deno.json maps @lingui/core for the runtime image. 236 backend tests (new: digest building, sending, catch-up, scheduling and unsubscribing; the Markdown renderer; French from the catalog; palettes against themes; the stagger migration; unsubscribe tokens) and 661 frontend tests (new: the unsubscribe page) pass, and tsc, eslint, doc:lint, deno check, deno lint and deno fmt are clean.

markdown.ts

v4: what the server and the client both state is declared once — several rules were written out in two or more files, some already drifting apart. A link's site name (its host without www.) was computed in five places, now shared/url.ts's siteHost; dumpFileVersion, which the frontend and the server had to keep equal by hand, is one function in shared/dump.ts; the Markdown flattening of the chat's reply previews and the digest's quotes is shared/markdown.ts's markdownToPlainText, so the digest also keeps an image's alt text; an attachment's URL and how to find one in a text are shared/attachment.ts, which the editor, Markdown and attachment-service read, its id pattern the new UUID_RE that the file and thumbnail routes check ids with. On the server, the Bandcamp, YouTube playlist and link preview caches use one TtlCache (api/lib/ttl-cache.ts) instead of three copies of the same expiry and eviction; the link previews' theme-color and the emails' theme tokens read colours with one parser (api/lib/css-color.ts), and a transparent theme-color now gives no tint; the WebSocket route sends through ws-service's send, the welcome included, so it is type-checked; fetch.ts strips an IPv6 literal's brackets with public-address's bareHostname; and a category's slug is checked by the same validateSlug as a dump's, with its own length. The migrations keep their frozen copies, as they document. 272 backend tests and 677 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint and doc:lint are clean.

2026-10-09 13:16:52 +00:00

mention.ts

v4: users sign in to one gerbeur instance with their account on another — topic instances, each with its own admins, domain and data, had no way to share accounts. Sign-in is federated over a subset of OpenID Connect, the authorization code flow with PKCE: each instance is an identity provider for its own users and a client for the others', and signs what it tells them with an Ed25519 key kept in federation_keys and published at /.well-known/jwks.json, beside its metadata at /.well-known/openid-configuration. Only sign-in is federated: an account from another instance is a local users row linked to (issuer, subject) in user_identities, with no password (password_hash ''), so sessions, roles, permissions, the socket and every foreign key work as before.

2026-10-09 14:23:00 +00:00

notification.ts

v4: a moderator's or an admin's @everyone in the chat notifies every user — there was no way to reach everyone at once. The new chat:everyone permission, held by moderators and admins, lets a chat message saying @everyone notify every user but its author and those reading the chat, through notifyEveryone, after notifyMentions, so a user also named is told once, by name; the notification is a user_mentioned with everyone set, which the notifications page and the digest word as "mentioned everyone in the chat". chat_messages.mentions_everyone, sent as ChatMessage.mentionsEveryone, is set from the author's role each time the body is written, so a user's @everyone reaches no one, a moderator's edit of a user's message can't make it reach everyone, and a demoted author's next edit loses it. Only an edit that adds @everyone notifies, so fixing an announcement's typo reaches no one new. The client highlights and chimes by the flag, never by the text; Markdown shows @everyone as a mention only in a flagged message, and never links it to a profile.

2026-10-09 12:54:09 +00:00

paths.ts

v4: API.md says what the URLs are again — it lacked the /playlists pages and GET /api/playlists, a playlist's categories, the ?category= of a user's lists and of the search, and ?chat=<message id>, and its reserved words lacked playlists. It now also states the rules the pages kept without saying: a category is a segment where the page is the category's own and ?category= where it narrows a list on another page; switching tabs takes the place of the history entry, while picking a category or opening another page or an editor adds one; a signed-in page opened signed out comes back after /login. canonical-url.ts named GET /api/dumps/by-url, which is GET /api/dumps?url=.

2026-10-09 22:25:08 +00:00

permissions.ts

v4: users sign in to one gerbeur instance with their account on another — topic instances, each with its own admins, domain and data, had no way to share accounts. Sign-in is federated over a subset of OpenID Connect, the authorization code flow with PKCE: each instance is an identity provider for its own users and a client for the others', and signs what it tells them with an Ed25519 key kept in federation_keys and published at /.well-known/jwks.json, beside its metadata at /.well-known/openid-configuration.

Dumps and playlists live under their owner, /@bob/dumps/<slug> and /@bob/playlists/<slug>, named by slug alone: migration 0021 re-slugs them to the bare slugify(title), unique per owner and kind (the oldest keeps it, clashes get -2), renames the categories whose slug v4 reserves (hot, follow, settings…), and rewrites this site's v3 links in dump notes, comments, chat, and playlist and profile descriptions. A slug changes only when edited, through the edit forms' new link field, which proposes slugify(title) as the title changes; a username changes from /settings or, for user:manage, from /@name/manage. Every slug or name left behind stays an alias of its item or user for good (dump_slug_aliases, playlist_slug_aliases, user_aliases), so old links redirect without chaining and nobody else can take one; slugs change 3 times a day per item, names once in 30 days, moderators exempt. An alias, or a name in another case, answers the item with its current path: the pages put it in their URL (useCanonicalPath, without fetching again), and the OG middleware answers a 301. shared/paths.ts builds and parses every page path, for the client's links, the emails' (digest-service lost its own builders and its id fallbacks, and links /follow and /settings) and the server's matchers (OG tags, self previews, backlinks, self-url); shared/slug.ts holds slugify and the format categories share. Dumps and playlists carry ownerUsername and a required slug, and notifications join their users' current names and their items' paths each time they are sent or read, so renames reach them and a deleted item's has no link. The API was renamed per the plan's table: POST /api/users and /api/sessions, /api/password-resets, /api/me (with settings, password, avatar, media-token, playlists?contains=, follow, feed?from=, notifications), /api/users/:key/{dumps,upvoted,playlists,follow/users,follow/playlists,invitees,avatar} and by path /api/users/:key/{dumps,playlists}/:slug, /api/dumps?url= and ?category=, /api/dumps/:id/{file,thumbnail,metadata}, /api/playlists/:id/cover, /api/remote/{preview,image,bandcamp,youtube} (one router), and /api/unsubscribe, the v3 POST /api/users/unsubscribe staying for the digests already sent. A stored default feed tab "followed" reads as "follow" once. dumps.slug and playlists.slug stay nullable, since SQLite can't add NOT NULL without rebuilding tables others reference; every writer sets them and unique (user_id, slug) indexes hold them. 254 backend tests (new: migration 0021 on a v3 fixture, slug aliases, swaps and rate limits, username renames, aliases and limits, reads by path and their privacy, the OG 301s, both unsubscribe paths, v4-shaped digest links with no ids, notification joins, shared paths and slugs) and 668 frontend tests (new: the profile's tabs and follow views, Settings, Manage, the link field, canonical URLs on the dump, playlist and profile pages, bare default feed paths) pass, and tsc, eslint, deno check, deno lint, deno fmt and doc:lint are clean; the migration was also run on a copy of the development database.

2026-10-06 16:08:59 +00:00

playlist.ts

v4: playlists have categories of their own — a set apart from the dumps', which admins manage on /manage under "Playlist categories", next to "Dump categories". Each category now has a kind, dump or playlist, its slug and name unique within its kind only; migration 0025 rebuilds categories with the column, every existing one becoming a dump category with its dumps, and adds playlist_categories. A playlist's owner files it under any of them in the create and edit forms, and it shows them as chips on its card and its page, each leading to /playlists/<slug>.

search.ts

v3: every doc opens with the role, then the mechanism, then the details — the docs were written bottom-up: what a thing does first ("Declares the three contexts WSProvider fills…"), details that only make sense once its purpose is known next, and the reason it exists last ("…so that a feed doesn't re-render"), so a reader had nothing to hang the first sentences on. The README's rule caused it, since a module doc "opened with what the module does"; it now opens with the module's role in the app, and the value-side phrasing of a type ("Returned to Y by X") comes once the role is said, with WSContext as the before and after. WSContext.ts is rewritten that way throughout, and so are the docs elsewhere that buried their purpose in a trailing "so that" (the migrations, og, image-proxy, public-address, useFading, useFeedCache, the drafts), opened on a generic verb that hid it ("Holds", "Declares", "Loads", "Defines", "Types": the contexts and providers, the shared types, the models, the hooks), or were label fragments ("The page of a dump…", "A row of tabs."). A function whose verb is its action ("Stores session"), a props or result type, and a protocol message ("Sent by X when Y") already say their role and are left as they are. Only comments changed, and the catalogs only move their references; deno fmt, deno lint and doc:lint are clean.

settings.ts

v4: a /community page shows the site's week and month, from the same figures as the digests, and every recurring server task is a job of one scheduler — the digests' top dumps and community section (who joined, the new public playlists, the chat and the totals) existed only in emails. community-service.ts now gathers them for a period from listTopDumps, listNewUsers and listNewPublicPlaylists, each in its own service and returning the API's Dump, PublicUser and Playlist; the digest builds its sections from the same call, its email-only DumpRow and DUMP_COLS replaced by one Dump mapper that networkOf uses too, and links its community section to the page. The page, /community for the last week and /community/monthly for the month, signed in only and linked from the avatar menu, reads GET /api/community?period=, which serves figures kept in memory and recomputed every GERBEUR_COMMUNITY_REFRESH_MINUTES (15 by default). It shows the four figures, the top dumps and the new playlists as live cards, and the new members as UserCards, the follow tab's user row made shared. Its words are the emails' own: the messages both use are renamed from email.digest.* to digest.*, as digest.weekly.off was. api/lib/scheduler.ts's startJobs runs the digests, the community refresh, the WebSocket ping, the typing expiry and the rate-limit sweep, which main.ts starts, so none of them runs on import any more. PERIOD_MS moves to shared/settings.ts. community is reserved as a category slug, and migration 0022 renames a category that had it, with renameReservedCategories moved out of 0021 into reserved-slugs.ts. A group's dump or playlist cards now fill its column. 262 backend tests and 678 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked in screenshots in Smooth light at 1280 and 390px, Smooth dark with mocked playlists, Brutalist dark at 390px and Kanagawa dark at 1280px.

slug.ts

v4: every page and API URL follows one of two rules, written down in API.md — pages are a hierarchy where @name is a user and any other root word a category or an app page, tabs and views are plain segments and a default view is the bare path; API resources are /api/<plural>/<key>, a user's key being an id or @name, the caller's things under /api/me, media a sub-resource, lookups by another key a query filter. ~ is gone: the feed is /, /hot, /new, /journal, /follow and /music/hot, a profile /@bob with its overview and the tabs dumps, upvoted, playlists (her own only), follow (users, and /follow/playlists), invitees and manage (role and name, for user:manage), which replace the separate UserDumps, UserUpvoted and UserPlaylists pages; /settings holds the account (now with the username) and /manage the category manager, both linked from the user menu and one's profile. Dumps and playlists live under their owner, /@bob/dumps/<slug> and /@bob/playlists/<slug>, named by slug alone: migration 0021 re-slugs them to the bare slugify(title), unique per owner and kind (the oldest keeps it, clashes get -2), renames the categories whose slug v4 reserves (hot, follow, settings…), and rewrites this site's v3 links in dump notes, comments, chat, and playlist and profile descriptions. A slug changes only when edited, through the edit forms' new link field, which proposes slugify(title) as the title changes; a username changes from /settings or, for user:manage, from /@name/manage. Every slug or name left behind stays an alias of its item or user for good (dump_slug_aliases, playlist_slug_aliases, user_aliases), so old links redirect without chaining and nobody else can take one; slugs change 3 times a day per item, names once in 30 days, moderators exempt. An alias, or a name in another case, answers the item with its current path: the pages put it in their URL (useCanonicalPath, without fetching again), and the OG middleware answers a 301. shared/paths.ts builds and parses every page path, for the client's links, the emails' (digest-service lost its own builders and its id fallbacks, and links /follow and /settings) and the server's matchers (OG tags, self previews, backlinks, self-url); shared/slug.ts holds slugify and the format categories share. Dumps and playlists carry ownerUsername and a required slug, and notifications join their users' current names and their items' paths each time they are sent or read, so renames reach them and a deleted item's has no link. The API was renamed per the plan's table: POST /api/users and /api/sessions, /api/password-resets, /api/me (with settings, password, avatar, media-token, playlists?contains=, follow, feed?from=, notifications), /api/users/:key/{dumps,upvoted,playlists,follow/users,follow/playlists,invitees,avatar} and by path /api/users/:key/{dumps,playlists}/:slug, /api/dumps?url= and ?category=, /api/dumps/:id/{file,thumbnail,metadata}, /api/playlists/:id/cover, /api/remote/{preview,image,bandcamp,youtube} (one router), and /api/unsubscribe, the v3 POST /api/users/unsubscribe staying for the digests already sent. A stored default feed tab "followed" reads as "follow" once. dumps.slug and playlists.slug stay nullable, since SQLite can't add NOT NULL without rebuilding tables others reference; every writer sets them and unique (user_id, slug) indexes hold them. 254 backend tests (new: migration 0021 on a v3 fixture, slug aliases, swaps and rate limits, username renames, aliases and limits, reads by path and their privacy, the OG 301s, both unsubscribe paths, v4-shaped digest links with no ids, notification joins, shared paths and slugs) and 668 frontend tests (new: the profile's tabs and follow views, Settings, Manage, the link field, canonical URLs on the dump, playlist and profile pages, bare default feed paths) pass, and tsc, eslint, deno check, deno lint, deno fmt and doc:lint are clean; the migration was also run on a copy of the development database.

theme.ts

v4: the emails' words live in the catalogs alone and their look is read from the site's stylesheets — every email message was written as i18n._({ id, message }), so its English sat in the template and again in en.po, and api/mail/styles.ts held a copy of each theme's palette, fonts and radii that a test chased. The templates now name each message by its id only (i18n._("email.reset.title", values)) and its English is written in locales/en.po, its French in fr.po; the four labels the settings tab and the unsubscribe page share with the emails read the same ids through @lingui/react's Trans instead of restating the English. i18n:extract runs without --overwrite, which would write the id where the English is, and i18n:compile runs --strict, so a language lacking a message fails the build; it caught email.digest.hl.mentionIn, never translated into French. The new api/mail/theme-tokens.ts reads src/tokens.css and src/themes/<style>.css and resolves a token for one scheme (var(), light-dark(), color-mix(), translucent colors laid over the card), and styles.ts names tokens for every color, GeoCities' rainbow, Melange's spice and shadow, Kanagawa's syntax hues, the font stack and the corner radii, keeping only what is the email's own (type scale, title, frame, divider, avatar rounding). The copies had drifted: GeoCities' stack had lost Marker Felt and its light emails drew the dark rainbow, which now also recolors its dividers on the "auto" scheme. The pills take the site's badge color, now the --color-badge-bg token that the private badge reads too. The Dockerfile copies src/tokens.css and src/themes/ into the runtime image, which reads them at load. The catalogs were re-extracted, having been stale against the code. 240 backend tests (new: the token reader, the dark rainbow; the palette-copy test is gone) and 661 frontend tests pass, and tsc, deno check and doc:lint are clean; sendDueDigests' empty-digest test fails now and then, as it did before.

url.ts

v4: what the server and the client both state is declared once — several rules were written out in two or more files, some already drifting apart. A link's site name (its host without www.) was computed in five places, now shared/url.ts's siteHost; dumpFileVersion, which the frontend and the server had to keep equal by hand, is one function in shared/dump.ts; the Markdown flattening of the chat's reply previews and the digest's quotes is shared/markdown.ts's markdownToPlainText, so the digest also keeps an image's alt text; an attachment's URL and how to find one in a text are shared/attachment.ts, which the editor, Markdown and attachment-service read, its id pattern the new UUID_RE that the file and thumbnail routes check ids with. On the server, the Bandcamp, YouTube playlist and link preview caches use one TtlCache (api/lib/ttl-cache.ts) instead of three copies of the same expiry and eviction; the link previews' theme-color and the emails' theme tokens read colours with one parser (api/lib/css-color.ts), and a transparent theme-color now gives no tint; the WebSocket route sends through ws-service's send, the welcome included, so it is type-checked; fetch.ts strips an IPv6 literal's brackets with public-address's bareHostname; and a category's slug is checked by the same validateSlug as a dump's, with its own length. The migrations keep their frozen copies, as they document. 272 backend tests and 677 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint and doc:lint are clean.

user.ts

v4: users can't rename themselves, /settings lays out again, and its selectors fit a phone — PATCH /api/me refuses a username with a 400 and changes nothing else in that request; a name changes only through PATCH /api/users/:key/username, which needs user:manage, from /@name/manage. The old name still stays an alias for good. renameUser lost its 30-day limit and its exempt flag, and RENAME_LIMITS holds the slug limit alone. /settings shows the username as plain text, and the rename hint left the catalogs. The settings grid sized its control column to its widest content, the rename hint, which stretched every control under it; that column now takes the remaining width and each control keeps its own size. A segmented control wraps instead of overflowing; in a settings row on a phone it takes the full width, and one of more than 4 options (the styles) lays out in two even rows. .btn-border turned red on hover, so Settings, Manage, Retry and Back looked like Log out; it is now neutral (Smooth's accent is red too), and only Log out takes the new btn-border--danger, muted until hovered red. A <button> and a <Link> .btn-border are now the same height. API.md and the module docs say who renames; the backend tests rename through the moderator route and check a self-rename is refused, and the malformed-name check moved to the manage tab's test. 254 backend and 667 frontend tests pass, and tsc, deno check and doc:lint are clean; Smooth, Brutalist, GeoCities and Kanagawa were checked in screenshots at desktop and phone widths.

validation.ts

v4: a handle with this instance's own host names the local user — another instance writes bob from here as bob@gerbeur.example, so a mention or a link copied from there named no one here: /@bob@gerbeur.example was a 404, and the mention notified nobody. localHandle (shared/validation.ts) drops this instance's host, its API's or its pages', from a handle; resolveUsername reads names by it, so the page, the API and the Open Graph 301 reach bob at /@bob, and so do the mention notifications and the chat's highlight and chime.

waveform.ts

v4: an audio file's waveform is made once by the server, and the player seeks on one accessible scrubber — every player downloaded the whole file a second time and decoded all of it in the browser to draw 150 bars, so a long FLAC cost tens of megabytes of memory per page, and the waveform could only be clicked: no drag, no keyboard, no slider for a screen reader. GET /api/dumps/:id/waveform now answers an audio dump's peaks, which lib/ffmpeg.ts decodes with ffmpeg on first request, mono at 8 kHz and streamed, keeps beside the thumbnails as the response itself, and serves with an ETag (a ten-minute MP3 takes about a second, then a few hundred bytes). The peaks are taken by shared/waveform.ts's peaksOf, scaled to the loudest so a quiet recording fills the track, and the dump form's preview of a file not yet uploaded decodes it with the same function, at 8 kHz in an OfflineAudioContext. Scrubber replaces Waveform and SeekBar: a role="slider" that seeks where a pointer lets go, follows a drag (the clock shows where it is held), takes arrows, Home and End, and draws the bars as one path with the played part clipped by a nested svg, so it moves smoothly and a timeupdate redraws two attributes instead of 150 rects; audio without a waveform, and video, get a plain bar. MediaPlayer reads whether it plays from the element's events alone, so a click no longer reports the change twice, its handles for PlayerProvider are stable callbacks instead of refs to refs, the drag no longer reattaches every listener, and the <source> children that src made dead are gone, with the mime prop. The file, thumbnail and waveform routes resolve their dump, token and caching through lib/dump-media.ts, and what is generated from an upload is named and removed in lib/ffmpeg.ts, the custom thumbnail by dump-service's customThumbnailPath, instead of paths spelled out in each. The test setup's play() and pause() fire their events as a browser does. 277 backend tests and 684 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked in the app with a real FLAC on its dump page and in the global player at 1280 and 390px, seeking by keyboard.

ws.ts

v3: every doc opens with the role, then the mechanism, then the details — the docs were written bottom-up: what a thing does first ("Declares the three contexts WSProvider fills…"), details that only make sense once its purpose is known next, and the reason it exists last ("…so that a feed doesn't re-render"), so a reader had nothing to hang the first sentences on. The README's rule caused it, since a module doc "opened with what the module does"; it now opens with the module's role in the app, and the value-side phrasing of a type ("Returned to Y by X") comes once the role is said, with WSContext as the before and after.

A function whose verb is its action ("Stores session"), a props or result type, and a protocol message ("Sent by X when Y") already say their role and are left as they are. Only comments changed, and the catalogs only move their references; deno fmt, deno lint and doc:lint are clean.
