audio streaming app plyr.fm
1# plyr.fm Status History - December 2025 2 3## Early December 2025 Work (Dec 1-7) 4 5### playlists, ATProto sync, and library hub (feat/playlists branch, PR #499, Dec 6-7) 6 7**status**: shipped and deployed. 8 9**playlists** (full CRUD): 10- `playlists` and `playlist_tracks` tables with Alembic migration 11- `POST /lists/playlists` - create playlist 12- `PUT /lists/playlists/{id}` - rename playlist 13- `DELETE /lists/playlists/{id}` - delete playlist 14- `POST /lists/playlists/{id}/tracks` - add track to playlist 15- `DELETE /lists/playlists/{id}/tracks/{track_id}` - remove track 16- `PUT /lists/playlists/{id}/tracks/reorder` - reorder tracks 17- `POST /lists/playlists/{id}/cover` - upload cover art 18- playlist detail page (`/playlist/[id]`) with edit modal, drag-and-drop reordering 19- playlists in global search results 20- "add to playlist" menu on tracks (filters out current playlist when on playlist page) 21- inline "create new playlist" in add-to menu (creates playlist and adds track in one action) 22- playlist sharing with OpenGraph link previews 23 24**ATProto integration**: 25- `fm.plyr.list` lexicon for syncing playlists and albums to user PDSes 26- `fm.plyr.actor.profile` lexicon for syncing artist profiles 27- automatic sync of albums, liked tracks, and profile on login (fire-and-forget) 28- scope upgrade OAuth flow for teal.fm integration (#503) 29 30**library hub** (`/library`): 31- unified page with tabs: liked, playlists, albums 32- create playlist modal with inline form 33- consistent card layouts across sections 34- nav changed from "liked" → "library" 35 36**user experience**: 37- public liked pages for any user (`/liked/[handle]`) 38- `show_liked_on_profile` preference 39- portal album/playlist section visual consistency 40- toast notifications for all mutations (playlist CRUD, profile updates) 41- z-index fixes for dropdown menus 42 43**accessibility fixes**: 44- fixed 32 svelte-check warnings (ARIA roles, button nesting, unused CSS) 45- proper roles on modals, menus, and drag-drop elements 46 47**design decisions**: 48- lists are generic ordered collections of any ATProto records 49- `listType` semantically categorizes (album, playlist, liked) but doesn't restrict content 50- array order = display order, reorder via `putRecord` 51- strongRef (uri + cid) for content-addressable item references 52- "library" = umbrella term for personal collections 53 54**sync architecture**: 55- **profile, albums, liked tracks**: synced on login via `GET /artists/me` (fire-and-forget background tasks) 56- **playlists**: synced on create/modify (not at login) - avoids N playlist syncs on every login 57- sync tasks don't block the response (~300-500ms for the endpoint, PDS calls happen in background) 58- putRecord calls take ~50-100ms each, with automatic DPoP nonce retry on 401 59 60**file size audit** (candidates for future modularization): 61- `portal/+page.svelte`: 2,436 lines (58% CSS) 62- `playlist/[id]/+page.svelte`: 1,644 lines (48% CSS) 63- `api/lists.py`: 855 lines 64- CSS-heavy files could benefit from shared style extraction in future 65 66**related issues**: #221, #146, #498 67 68--- 69 70### list reordering UI (feat/playlists branch, Dec 7) 71 72**what's done**: 73- `PUT /lists/liked/reorder` endpoint - reorder user's liked tracks list 74- `PUT /lists/{rkey}/reorder` endpoint - reorder any list by ATProto rkey 75- both endpoints take `items` array of strongRefs (uri + cid) in desired order 76- liked tracks page (`/liked`) now has "reorder" button for authenticated users 77- album page has "reorder" button for album owner (if album has ATProto list record) 78- drag-and-drop reordering on desktop (HTML5 drag API) 79- touch reordering on mobile (6-dot grip handle, same pattern as queue) 80- visual feedback during drag: `.drag-over` and `.is-dragging` states 81- saves order to ATProto via `putRecord` when user clicks "done" 82- added `atproto_record_cid` to TrackResponse schema (needed for strongRefs) 83- added `artist_did` and `list_uri` to AlbumMetadata response 84 85**UX design**: 86- button toggles between "reorder" and "done" states 87- in edit mode, drag handles appear next to each track 88- saving shows spinner, success/error toast on completion 89- only owners can see/use reorder button (liked list = current user, album = artist) 90 91--- 92 93### scope upgrade OAuth flow (feat/scope-invalidation branch, Dec 7) - merged to feat/playlists 94 95**problem**: when users enabled teal.fm scrobbling, the app showed a passive "please log out and back in" message because the session lacked the required OAuth scopes. this was confusing UX. 96 97**solution**: immediate OAuth handshake when enabling features that require new scopes (same pattern as developer tokens). 98 99**what's done**: 100- `POST /auth/scope-upgrade/start` endpoint initiates OAuth with expanded scopes 101- `pending_scope_upgrades` table tracks in-flight upgrades (10min TTL) 102- callback replaces old session with new one, redirects to `/settings?scope_upgraded=true` 103- frontend shows spinner during redirect, success toast on return 104- fixed preferences bug where toggling settings reset theme to dark mode 105 106**code quality**: 107- eliminated bifurcated OAuth clients (`oauth_client` vs `oauth_client_with_teal`) 108- replaced with `get_oauth_client(include_teal=False)` factory function 109- at ~17 OAuth flows/day, instantiation cost is negligible 110- explicit scope selection at call site instead of module-level state 111 112**developer token UX**: 113- full-page overlay when returning from OAuth after creating a developer token 114- token displayed prominently with warning that it won't be shown again 115- copy button with success feedback, link to python SDK docs 116- prevents users from missing their token (was buried at bottom of page) 117 118**test fixes**: 119- fixed connection pool exhaustion in tests (was hitting Neon's connection limit) 120- added `DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=2`, `DATABASE_MAX_OVERFLOW=0` to pytest env vars 121- dispose cached engines after each test to prevent connection accumulation 122- fixed mock function signatures for `refresh_session` tests 123 124**tests**: 4 new tests for scope upgrade flow, all 281 tests passing 125 126--- 127 128### settings consolidation (PR #496, Dec 6) 129 130**problem**: user preferences were scattered across multiple locations with confusing terminology: 131- SensitiveImage tooltip said "enable in portal" but mobile menu said "profile" 132- clicking gear icon (SettingsMenu) only showed appearance/playback, not all settings 133- portal mixed content management with preferences 134 135**solution**: clear separation between **settings** (preferences) and **portal** (content & data): 136 137| page | purpose | 138|------|---------| 139| `/settings` | preferences: theme, accent color, auto-advance, sensitive artwork, timed comments, teal.fm, developer tokens | 140| `/portal` | your content & data: profile, tracks, albums, export, delete account | 141 142**changes**: 143- created dedicated `/settings` route consolidating all user preferences 144- slimmed portal to focus on content management 145- added "all settings →" link to SettingsMenu and ProfileMenu 146- renamed mobile menu "profile" → "portal" to match route 147- moved delete account to portal's "your data" section (it's about data, not preferences) 148- fixed `font-family: inherit` on all settings page buttons 149- updated SensitiveImage tooltip: "enable in settings" 150 151--- 152 153### bufo easter egg improvements (PRs #491-492, Dec 6) 154 155**what shipped**: 156- configurable exclude/include patterns via env vars for bufo easter egg 157- `BUFO_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS`: regex patterns to filter out (default: `^bigbufo_`) 158- `BUFO_INCLUDE_PATTERNS`: allowlist that overrides exclude (default: `bigbufo_0_0`, `bigbufo_2_1`) 159- cache key now includes patterns so config changes take effect immediately 160 161**reusable type**: 162- added `CommaSeparatedStringSet` type for parsing comma-delimited env vars into sets 163- uses pydantic `BeforeValidator` with `Annotated` pattern (not class-coupled validators) 164- handles: `VAR=a,b,c``{"a", "b", "c"}` 165 166**context**: bigbufo tiles are 4x4 grid fragments that looked weird floating individually. now excluded by default, with two specific tiles allowed through. 167 168**thread**: https://bsky.app/profile/zzstoatzzdevlog.bsky.social/post/3m7e3ndmgwl2m 169 170--- 171 172### mobile artwork upload fix (PR #489, Dec 6) 173 174**problem**: artwork uploads from iOS Photos library silently failed - track uploaded successfully but without artwork. 175 176**root cause**: iOS stores photos in HEIC format. when selected, iOS converts content to JPEG but often keeps the `.heic` filename. backend validated format using only filename extension → rejected as "unsupported format". 177 178**fix**: 179- backend now prefers MIME content_type over filename extension for format detection 180- added `ImageFormat.from_content_type()` method 181- frontend uses `accept="image/*"` for broader iOS compatibility 182 183--- 184 185### sensitive image moderation (PRs #471-488, Dec 5-6) 186 187**what shipped**: 188- `sensitive_images` table to flag problematic images by R2 `image_id` or external URL 189- `show_sensitive_artwork` user preference (default: hidden, toggle in portal → "your data") 190- flagged images blurred everywhere: track lists, player, artist pages, likers tooltip, search results, embeds 191- Media Session API (CarPlay, lock screen, control center) respects sensitive preference 192- SSR-safe filtering: link previews (og:image) exclude sensitive images on track, artist, and album pages 193- likers tooltip UX: max-height with scroll, hover interaction fix, viewport-aware flip positioning 194- likers tooltip z-index: elevates entire track-container when tooltip open (prevents sibling tracks bleeding through) 195 196**how it works**: 197- frontend fetches `/moderation/sensitive-images` and stores flagged IDs/URLs 198- `SensitiveImage` component wraps images and checks against flagged list 199- server-side check via `+layout.server.ts` for meta tag filtering 200- users can opt-in to view sensitive artwork via portal toggle 201 202**coverage** (PR #488): 203 204| context | approach | 205|---------|----------| 206| DOM images needing blur | `SensitiveImage` component | 207| small avatars in lists | `SensitiveImage` with `compact` prop | 208| SSR meta tags (og:image) | `checkImageSensitive()` function | 209| non-DOM APIs (media session) | direct `isSensitive()` + `showSensitiveArtwork` check | 210 211**moderation workflow**: 212- admin adds row to `sensitive_images` with `image_id` (R2) or `url` (external) 213- images are blurred immediately for all users 214- users who enable `show_sensitive_artwork` see unblurred images 215 216--- 217 218### teal.fm scrobbling integration (PR #467, Dec 4) 219 220**what shipped**: 221- native teal.fm scrobbling: when users enable the toggle, plays are recorded to their PDS using teal's ATProto lexicons 222- scrobble triggers at 30% or 30 seconds (whichever comes first) - same threshold as play counts 223- user preference stored in database, toggleable from portal → "your data" 224- settings link to pdsls.dev so users can view their scrobble records 225 226**lexicons used**: 227- `fm.teal.alpha.feed.play` - individual play records (scrobbles) 228- `fm.teal.alpha.actor.status` - now-playing status updates 229 230**configuration** (all optional, sensible defaults): 231- `TEAL_ENABLED` (default: `true`) - feature flag for entire integration 232- `TEAL_PLAY_COLLECTION` (default: `fm.teal.alpha.feed.play`) 233- `TEAL_STATUS_COLLECTION` (default: `fm.teal.alpha.actor.status`) 234 235**code quality improvements** (same PR): 236- added `settings.frontend.domain` computed property for environment-aware URLs 237- extracted `get_session_id_from_request()` utility for bearer token parsing 238- added field validator on `DeveloperTokenInfo.session_id` for auto-truncation 239- applied walrus operators throughout auth and playback code 240- fixed now-playing endpoint firing every 1 second (fingerprint update bug in scheduled reports) 241 242**documentation**: `backend/src/backend/_internal/atproto/teal.py` contains inline docs on the scrobbling flow 243 244--- 245 246### unified search (PR #447, Dec 3) 247 248**what shipped**: 249- `Cmd+K` (mac) / `Ctrl+K` (windows/linux) opens search modal from anywhere 250- fuzzy matching across tracks, artists, albums, and tags using PostgreSQL `pg_trgm` 251- results grouped by type with relevance scores (0.0-1.0) 252- keyboard navigation (arrow keys, enter, esc) 253- artwork/avatars displayed with lazy loading and fallback icons 254- glassmorphism modal styling with backdrop blur 255- debounced input (150ms) with client-side validation 256 257**database**: 258- enabled `pg_trgm` extension for trigram-based similarity search 259- GIN indexes on `tracks.title`, `artists.handle`, `artists.display_name`, `albums.title`, `tags.name` 260 261**documentation**: `docs/frontend/search.md`, `docs/frontend/keyboard-shortcuts.md` 262 263**follow-up polish** (PRs #449-463): 264- mobile search icon in header (PRs #455-456) 265- theme-aware modal styling with styled scrollbar (#450) 266- ILIKE fallback for substring matches when trigram fails (#452) 267- tag collapse with +N button (#453) 268- input focus fix: removed `visibility: hidden` so focus works on open (#457, #463) 269- album artwork fallback in player when track has no image (#458) 270- rate limiting exemption for now-playing endpoints (#460) 271- `--no-dev` flag for release command to prevent dev dep installation (#461) 272 273--- 274 275### light/dark theme and mobile UX overhaul (Dec 2-3) 276 277**theme system** (PR #441): 278- replaced hardcoded colors across 35 files with CSS custom properties 279- semantic tokens: `--bg-primary`, `--text-secondary`, `--accent`, etc. 280- theme switcher in settings: dark / light / system (follows OS preference) 281- removed zen mode feature (superseded by proper theme support) 282 283**mobile UX improvements** (PR #443): 284- new `ProfileMenu` component — collapses profile, upload, settings, logout into touch-optimized menu (44px tap targets) 285- dedicated `/upload` page — extracted from portal for cleaner mobile flow 286- portal overhaul — tighter forms, track detail links under artwork, fixed icon alignment 287- standardized section headers across home and liked tracks pages 288 289**player scroll timing fix** (PR #445): 290- reduced title scroll cycle from 10s → 8s, artist/album from 15s → 10s 291- eliminated 1.5s invisible pause at end of scroll animation 292- fixed duplicate upload toast (was firing twice on success) 293- upload success toast now includes "view track" link 294 295**CI optimization** (PR #444): 296- pre-commit hooks now skip based on changed paths 297- result: ~10s for most PRs instead of ~1m20s 298- only installs tooling (uv, bun) needed for changed directories 299 300--- 301 302### tag filtering system and SDK tag support (Dec 2) 303 304**tag filtering** (PRs #431-434): 305- users can now hide tracks by tag via eye icon filter in discovery feed 306- preferences centralized in root layout (fetched once, shared across app) 307- `HiddenTagsFilter` component with expandable UI for managing hidden tags 308- default hidden tags: `["ai"]` for new users 309- tag detail pages at `/tag/[name]` with all tracks for that tag 310- clickable tag badges on tracks navigate to tag pages 311 312**navigation fix** (PR #435): 313- fixed tag links interrupting audio playback 314- root cause: `stopPropagation()` on links breaks SvelteKit's client-side router 315- documented pattern in `docs/frontend/navigation.md` to prevent recurrence 316 317**SDK tag support** (plyr-python-client v0.0.1-alpha.10): 318- added `tags: set[str]` parameter to `upload()` in SDK 319- added `-t/--tag` CLI option (can be used multiple times) 320- updated MCP `upload_guide` prompt with tag examples 321- status maintenance workflow now tags AI-generated podcasts with `ai` (#436) 322 323**tags in detail pages** (PR #437): 324- track detail endpoint (`/tracks/{id}`) now returns tags 325- album detail endpoint (`/albums/{handle}/{slug}`) now returns tags for all tracks 326- track detail page displays clickable tag badges 327 328**bufo easter egg** (PR #438, improved in #491-492): 329- tracks tagged with `bufo` trigger animated toad GIFs on the detail page 330- uses track title as semantic search query against [find-bufo API](https://find-bufo.fly.dev/) 331- toads are semantically matched to the song's vibe (e.g., "Happy Vibes" gets happy toads) 332- results cached in localStorage (1 week TTL) to minimize API calls 333- `TagEffects` wrapper component provides extensibility for future tag-based plugins 334- respects `prefers-reduced-motion`; fails gracefully if API unavailable 335- configurable exclude/include patterns via env vars (see Dec 6 entry above) 336 337--- 338 339### queue touch reordering and header stats fix (Dec 2) 340 341**queue mobile UX** (PR #428): 342- added 6-dot drag handle to queue items for touch-friendly reordering 343- implemented touch event handlers for mobile drag-and-drop 344- track follows finger during drag with smooth translateY transform 345- drop target highlights while dragging over other tracks 346 347**header stats positioning** (PR #426): 348- fixed platform stats not adjusting when queue sidebar opens/closes 349- added `--queue-width` CSS custom property updated dynamically 350- stats now shift left with smooth transition when queue opens 351 352--- 353 354### connection pool resilience for Neon cold starts (Dec 2) 355 356**incident**: ~5 minute API outage (01:55-02:00 UTC) - all requests returned 500 errors 357 358**root cause**: Neon serverless cold start after 5 minutes of idle traffic 359- queue listener heartbeat detected dead connection, began reconnection 360- first 5 user requests each held a connection waiting for Neon to wake up (3-5 min each) 361- with pool_size=5 and max_overflow=0, pool exhausted immediately 362- all subsequent requests got `QueuePool limit of size 5 overflow 0 reached` 363 364**fix**: 365- increased `pool_size` from 5 → 10 (handle more concurrent cold start requests) 366- increased `max_overflow` from 0 → 5 (allow burst to 15 connections) 367- increased `connection_timeout` from 3s → 10s (wait for Neon wake-up) 368 369**related**: this is a recurrence of the Nov 17 incident. that fix addressed the queue listener's asyncpg connection but not the SQLAlchemy pool connections. 370 371--- 372 373### now-playing API (PR #416, Dec 1) 374 375**what shipped**: 376- `GET /now-playing/{did}` and `GET /now-playing/by-handle/{handle}` endpoints 377- returns track metadata, playback position, timestamp 378- 204 when nothing playing, 200 with track data otherwise 379 380**teal.fm integration**: 381- native scrobbling shipped in PR #467 (Dec 4) - plyr.fm writes directly to user's PDS 382- Piper integration (external polling) still open: https://github.com/teal-fm/piper/pull/27 383 384--- 385 386### admin UI improvements for moderation (PRs #408-414, Dec 1) 387 388**what shipped**: 389- dropdown menu for false positive reasons (fingerprint noise, original artist, fair use, other) 390- artist/track links open in new tabs for verification 391- AuDD score normalization (scores shown as 0-100 range) 392- filter controls to show only high-confidence matches 393- form submission fixes for htmx POST requests 394 395--- 396 397### ATProto labeler and copyright moderation (PRs #382-395, Nov 29-Dec 1) 398 399**what shipped**: 400- standalone labeler service integrated into moderation Rust service 401- implements `com.atproto.label.queryLabels` and `subscribeLabels` XRPC endpoints 402- k256 ECDSA signing for cryptographic label verification 403- web interface at `/admin` for reviewing copyright flags 404- htmx for server-rendered interactivity 405- integrates with AuDD enterprise API for audio fingerprinting 406- fire-and-forget background task on track upload 407- review workflow with resolution tracking (violation, false_positive, original_artist) 408 409**initial review results** (25 flagged tracks): 410- 8 violations (actual copyright issues) 411- 11 false positives (fingerprint noise) 412- 6 original artists (people uploading their own distributed music) 413 414**documentation**: see `docs/moderation/atproto-labeler.md` 415 416--- 417 418## Mid-December 2025 Work (Dec 8-16) 419 420### visual customization (PRs #595-596, Dec 16) 421 422**custom backgrounds** (PR #595): 423- users can set a custom background image URL in settings with optional tiling 424- new "playing artwork as background" toggle - uses current track's artwork as blurred page background 425- glass effect styling for track items (translucent backgrounds, subtle shadows) 426- new `ui_settings` JSONB column in preferences for extensible UI settings 427 428**bug fix** (PR #596): 429- removed 3D wheel scroll effect that was blocking like/share button clicks 430- root cause: `translateZ` transforms created z-index stacking that intercepted pointer events 431 432--- 433 434### performance & UX polish (PRs #586-593, Dec 14-15) 435 436**performance improvements** (PRs #590-591): 437- removed moderation service call from `/tracks/` listing endpoint 438- removed copyright check from tag listing endpoint 439- faster page loads for track feeds 440 441**moderation agent** (PRs #586, #588): 442- added moderation agent script with audit trail support 443- improved moderation prompt and UI layout 444 445**bug fixes** (PRs #589, #592, #593): 446- fixed liked state display on playlist detail page 447- preserved album track order during ATProto sync 448- made header sticky on scroll for better mobile navigation 449 450**iOS Safari fixes** (PRs #573-576): 451- fixed AddToMenu visibility issue on iOS Safari 452- menu now correctly opens upward when near viewport bottom 453 454--- 455 456### mobile UI polish & background task expansion (PRs #558-572, Dec 10-12) 457 458**background task expansion** (PRs #558, #561): 459- moved like/unlike and comment PDS writes to docket background tasks 460- API responses now immediate; PDS sync happens asynchronously 461- added targeted album list sync background task for ATProto record updates 462 463**performance caching** (PR #566): 464- added Redis cache for copyright label lookups (5-minute TTL) 465- fixed 2-3s latency spikes on `/tracks/` endpoint 466- batch operations via `mget`/pipeline for efficiency 467 468**mobile UX improvements** (PRs #569, #572): 469- mobile action menus now open from top with all actions visible 470- UI polish for album and artist pages on small screens 471 472**misc** (PRs #559, #562, #563, #570): 473- reduced docket Redis polling from 250ms to 5s (lower resource usage) 474- added atprotofans support link mode for ko-fi integration 475- added alpha badge to header branding 476- fixed web manifest ID for PWA stability 477 478--- 479 480### confidential OAuth client (PRs #578, #580-582, Dec 12-13) 481 482**confidential client support** (PR #578): 483- implemented ATProto OAuth confidential client using `private_key_jwt` authentication 484- when `OAUTH_JWK` is configured, plyr.fm authenticates with a cryptographic key 485- confidential clients earn 180-day refresh tokens (vs 2-week for public clients) 486- added `/.well-known/jwks.json` endpoint for public key discovery 487- updated `/oauth-client-metadata.json` with confidential client fields 488 489**bug fixes** (PRs #580-582): 490- fixed client assertion JWT to use Authorization Server's issuer as `aud` claim (not token endpoint URL) 491- fixed JWKS endpoint to preserve `kid` field from original JWK 492- fixed `OAuthClient` to pass `client_secret_kid` for JWT header 493 494**atproto fork updates** (zzstoatzz/atproto#6, #7): 495- added `issuer` parameter to `_make_token_request()` for correct `aud` claim 496- added `client_secret_kid` parameter to include `kid` in client assertion JWT header 497 498**outcome**: users now get 180-day refresh tokens, and "remember this account" on the PDS authorization page works (auto-approves subsequent logins). see #583 for future work on account switching via OAuth `prompt` parameter. 499 500--- 501 502### pagination & album management (PRs #550-554, Dec 9-10) 503 504**tracks list pagination** (PR #554): 505- cursor-based pagination on `/tracks/` endpoint (default 50 per page) 506- infinite scroll on homepage using native IntersectionObserver 507- zero new dependencies - uses browser APIs only 508- pagination state persisted to localStorage for fast subsequent loads 509 510**album management improvements** (PRs #550-552, #557): 511- album delete and track reorder fixes 512- album page edit mode matching playlist UX (inline title editing, cover upload) 513- optimistic UI updates for album title changes (instant feedback) 514- ATProto record sync when album title changes (updates all track records + list record) 515- fixed album slug sync on rename (prevented duplicate albums when adding tracks) 516 517**playlist show on profile** (PR #553): 518- restored "show on profile" toggle that was lost during inline

integration** (PRs #534, #536, #539): 534- migrated background tasks from inline asyncio to docket (Redis-backed task queue) 535- copyright scanning, media export, ATProto sync, and teal scrobbling now run via docket 536- graceful fallback to asyncio for local development without Redis 537- parallel test execution with xdist template databases (#540) 538 539**concurrent export downloads** (PR #545): 540- exports now download tracks in parallel (up to 4 concurrent) instead of sequentially 541- significantly faster for users with many tracks or large files 542- zip creation remains sequential (zipfile constraint) 543 544**ATProto refactor** (PR #534): 545- reorganized ATProto record code into `_internal/atproto/records/` by lexicon namespace 546- extracted `client.py` for low-level PDS operations 547- cleaner separation between plyr.fm and teal.fm lexicons 548 549**documentation & observability**: 550- AudD API cost tracking dashboard (#546) 551- promoted runbooks from sandbox to `docs/runbooks/` 552- updated CLAUDE.md files across the codebase 553 554--- 555 556### artist support links & inline playlist editing (PRs #520-532, Dec 8) 557 558**artist support link** (PR #532): 559- artists can set a support URL (Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.) in their portal profile 560- support link displays as a button on artist profile pages next to the share button 561- URLs validated to require https:// prefix 562 563**inline playlist editing** (PR #531): 564- edit playlist name and description directly on playlist detail page 565- click-to-upload cover art replacement without modal 566- cleaner UX - no more edit modal popup 567 568**platform stats enhancements** (PRs #522, #528): 569- total duration displayed in platform stats (e.g., "42h 15m of music") 570- duration shown

without authentication 591- ATProto records are public by design - auth was unnecessary for read access 592- shared playlist URLs no longer redirect unauthenticated users to homepage 593 594**inline playlist creation** (PR #510): 595- clicking "create new playlist" from AddToMenu previously navigated to `/library?create=playlist` 596- this caused SvelteKit to reinitialize the layout, destroying the audio element and stopping playback 597- fix: added inline create form that creates playlist and adds track in one action without navigation 598 599**UI polish** (PRs #507-509, #515): 600- include `image_url` in playlist SSR data for og:image link previews 601- invalidate layout data after token exchange - fixes stale auth state after login 602- fixed stopPropagation blocking "create new

using Cache API for audio bytes + IndexedDB for metadata 618- `GET /audio/{file_id}/url` backend endpoint returns direct R2 URLs for client-side caching 619- "auto-download liked" toggle in experimental settings section 620- Player checks for cached audio before streaming from R2 621 622--- 623 624### UX polish (PRs #604-607, #613, #615, Dec 16-18) 625 626**login improvements** (PRs #604, #613): 627- login page now uses "internet handle" terminology for clarity 628- input normalization: strips `@` and `at://` prefixes automatically 629 630**artist page fixes** (PR #615): 631-

checking** (PR #619): 644- enabled beartype runtime type validation across the backend 645- catches type errors at runtime instead of silently passing bad data 646- test infrastructure improvements: session-scoped TestClient fixture (5x faster tests) 647 648**moderation cleanup** (PRs #617-618): 649- consolidated moderation code, addressing issues #541-543 650- `sync_copyright_resolutions` now runs automatically via docket Perpetual task 651- removed dead `init_db()` from lifespan (handled by alembic migrations) 652 653--- 654 655### end-of-year sprint (PR #626, Dec 20) 656 657**focus**: two foundational systems with experimental implementations. 658 659| track | focus | status | 660|-------|-------|--------| 661| moderation | consolidate architecture, batch review, Claude vision | shipped | 662| atprotofans | supporter validation, content gating | shipped | 663 664**research docs**: 665- [moderation architecture overhaul](docs/research/2025-12-20-moderation-architecture-overhaul.md) 666- [atprotofans paywall integration](docs/research/2025-12-20-atprotofans-paywall-integration.md) 667 668--- 669 670### rate limit moderation endpoint (PR #629, Dec 21) 671 672**incident response**: detected suspicious activity - 72 requests in 17 seconds from a single IP targeting `/moderation/sensitive-images`. added `10/minute` rate limit using existing slowapi infrastructure. this was the first real probe of our moderation endpoints, validating the decision to add rate limiting before it became a problem. 673 674--- 675 676### supporter badges (PR #627, Dec 21-22) 677 678**phase 1 of atprotofans integration**: 679- supporter badge displays on artist pages when logged-in viewer supports the artist 680- calls atprotofans `validateSupporter` API directly from frontend (public endpoint) 681- badge only shows when viewer is authenticated and not viewing their own profile 682 683--- 684 685### supporter-gated content (PR #637, Dec 22-23) 686 687**atprotofans paywall integration** - artists can now mark tracks as "supporters only": 688- tracks with `support_gate` require atprotofans validation before playback 689- non-supporters see lock icon and "become a supporter" CTA linking to atprotofans 690- artists can always play their own gated tracks 691 692**backend architecture**: 693- audio endpoint validates supporter status via atprotofans API before serving gated content 694- HEAD requests return 200/401/402 for pre-flight auth checks (avoids CORS issues with cross-origin redirects) 695- gated files stored in private R2 bucket, served via presigned URLs (SigV4 signatures) 696- `R2Storage.move_audio()` moves files between public/private buckets when toggling gate 697- background task handles bucket migration asynchronously 698- ATProto record syncs when toggling gate (updates `supportGate` field and `audioUrl` to point at our endpoint instead of R2) 699 700**frontend**: 701- `playback.svelte.ts` guards queue operations with gated checks BEFORE modifying state 702- clicking locked track shows toast with CTA - does NOT interrupt current playback 703- portal shows support gate toggle in track edit UI 704 705**key decision**: gated status is resolved server-side in track listings, not client-side. this means the lock icon appears instantly without additional API calls, and prevents information leakage about which tracks are gated vs which the user simply can't access. 706 707--- 708 709### CSS design tokens (PRs #662-664, Dec 29-30) 710 711**design system foundations**: 712- border-radius tokens (`--radius-sm`, `--radius-md`, etc.) 713- typography scale tokens 714- consolidated form styles 715- documented in `docs/frontend/design-tokens.md` 716 717--- 718 719### self-hosted redis (PRs #674-675, Dec 30) 720 721**replaced Upstash with self-hosted Redis on Fly.io** - ~$75/month → ~$4/month: 722- Upstash pay-as-you-go was charging per command (37M commands = $75) - discovered when reviewing December costs 723- docket's heartbeat mechanism is chatty by design, making pay-per-command pricing unsuitable 724- self-hosted Redis on 256MB Fly VMs costs fixed ~$2/month per environment 725- deployed `plyr-redis` (prod) and `plyr-redis-stg` (staging) 726- added CI workflow for redis deployments on merge 727 728**no state migration needed** - docket stores ephemeral task queue data, job progress lives in postgres. 729 730**incident (Dec 30)**: while optimizing redis overhead, a `heartbeat_interval=30s` change broke docket task execution. likes created Dec 29-30 were missing ATProto records. reverted in PR #669, documented in `docs/backend/background-tasks.md`. filed upstream: https://github.com/chrisguidry/docket/issues/267 731 732--- 733 734### batch review system (PR #672, Dec 30) 735 736**moderation batch review UI** - mobile-friendly interface for reviewing flagged content: 737- filter by flag status, paginated results 738- auto-resolve flags for deleted tracks (PR #681) 739- full URL in DM notifications (PR #678) 740- required auth flow fix (PR #679) - review page was accessible without login 741 742--- 743 744### top tracks homepage (PR #684, Dec 31) 745 746**homepage now shows top tracks** - quick access to popular content for new visitors. 747 748--- 749 750### avatar sync on login (PR #685, Dec 31) 751 752**avatars now stay fresh** - previously set once at artist creation, causing stale/broken avatars throughout the app: 753- on login, avatar is refreshed from Bluesky and synced to both postgres and ATProto profile record 754- added `avatar` field to `fm.plyr.actor.profile` lexicon (optional, URI format) 755- one-time backfill script (`scripts/backfill_avatars.py`) refreshed 28 stale avatars in production 756 757--- 758 759### automated image moderation (PRs #687-690, Dec 31) 760 761**Claude vision integration** for sensitive image detection: 762- images analyzed on upload via Claude Sonnet 4.5 (had to fix model ID - was using wrong identifier) 763- flagged images trigger DM notifications to admin 764- non-false-positive flags sent to batch review queue 765- complements the batch review system built earlier in the sprint 766 767--- 768 769### header redesign (PR #691, Dec 31) 770 771**new header layout** with UserMenu dropdown and even spacing across the top bar.
