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>.

lib

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=.

mail

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.

middleware

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.

remote

v4: ESLint and deno fmt pass on the whole tree again — html.ts's attribute pattern escaped a "/" its character class doesn't need escaped (no-useless-escape), and a line of journalLayout.test.ts ran past the width.

routes

v4: every live update reaches every page that shows what it changed — the client kept each kind of event in one "latest" slot, so two arriving before a render lost the first (two notifications of one dump going public showed one); they now go through a subscription, useWSEvent, and each reaches every subscriber. A playlist made private sent its new title and description to everyone, and kept them on a visitor's page; playlists now follow the dumps' rule, broadcastChange: others get playlist_deleted, and playlist_created when it goes public again. A dump deleted or turned private sends its playlists' dumps again, so their counts and pages follow. Comments on a private dump reach its poster's other tabs. Reading the notifications clears the bell in every tab (notifications_read), and a category change makes every client fetch the categories again (categories_changed). The dump page gives way to a notice when its dump is deleted or made private. A profile gains the user's new dumps, the followed feed those of the users followed and the playlists followed, the search results follow edits and deletions, the index's category feed drops a dump edited out of it, and a renamed user's name follows on cards and comments. After a reconnection, every live list fetches the pages it holds again (usePagedList's resync), and the playlist, the profile, the dump, the categories and the follows are fetched again. The position memory of usePositionAwareSync is now inside the list sync hooks, so a returning item is put back without depending on the order the hooks are called.

scripts

v3: comments say what the code can't — the documentation pass wanted JSDoc on every export and every field of an exported interface, which filled the code with restatements ("The dump.", "Whether it is loading.", "The props of X.", "Renders the X.") and module docs that told a reader nothing ("The hot and new feeds, and the props every main feed of the index takes."); some were wrong as well as vague. Every comment in api/, shared/ and src/ is rewritten under one rule, now stated in the README's "Comments" section: every module and export still has a JSDoc, and it gives context (who uses it and where), usage (what a caller must know: a precondition, what it leaves to the caller, a side effect) or its place in the chain (where its input comes from, where its output goes); a field, parameter, private function or local gets one only when it adds to its parent's, and context about a whole type goes on the type; a type's doc is phrased from the value's side ("Returned to Y by X when Z", "Passed to Y by X"); full sentences, as short as they can be, no label-colon-list; // goes wherever the code isn't obvious and says why, and the section banners and narration go. Every claim was checked against the code, which turned up some forty comments that were wrong: DumpCard's claimed it was only used by the hot and new feeds, the WebSocket welcome claimed to be a socket's first message (presence comes first), UpdateUserRequest said null removes a description (it keeps it), deletedDumpIds leaves out that it also holds dumps made private, THEME_COLOR claimed to mirror index.html's, and the like. The routers' JSDoc now says where they are mounted and what becomes of a thrown APIException. doc-lint.ts lets a field without a doc through; a module or export without one still fails. No code changes; 204 backend and 628 frontend tests pass, and doc:lint, deno check, deno lint and tsc are clean.

config.ts

v4: an instance that takes no users of others still blocks instances its own users may not sign in to — with GERBEUR_FEDERATION_INCOMING=0, /manage hid its list of instances, though a blocked one still kept the instance's users from signing in there, and no admin could block another. The list now stays while federated sign-in goes either way: without incoming sign-ins it shows and adds only blocked instances, the trusted ones kept for when they're back, and says what blocking does there. Where both ways are on, its note now says that users here can't sign in to a blocked instance either.

main.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.
