The peer sheet's new "About this user" row opens a screen of its own: the
card their client serves (their own words, their picture, the upload slot
and the queue), the likes and hates they declared, and the comparison this
phone makes of their share against the library. The comparison is the
point of opening a stranger — every record they have by an artist in your
library that you don't, each row opening the search that finds it, and a
way to forget the whole comparison again. Nothing is uploaded to work it
out. Their picture opens in the artwork viewer, which now takes a data:
key beside a library path and an https URL.
One switch the desktop never needed, off by default: on mobile data every
Save the phone can start — a record, a track, a folder, a file, a
playlist's bulk, the now-playing Save — waits, with the reason on the bar;
streaming is never held back. The walk flips the switch, makes the
connection cellular and sees a download refused.
The raw results take the Soulseek hub's filters — a free slot only, FLAC
or MP3 320+ — as chips above the folders. The lyrics sheet has the
desktop's paste door: plain text, or LRC with timestamps, kept for the
track.
The desktop's title-bar download ring and its unread indicator, on the
phone's nav: a count on You while Save is fetching, a count on Community
when a chat has unread lines.
The desktop Library summary's hours on the phone's count line; a By format
order from the file stats (lossless by depth and rate first, then by
bitrate, the badge as the card's line); the empty Search page's Jump back
in — the last records played — as the desktop's empty search shows them.
The storage plugin gains pick_image — the document picker limited to
images, the picked content copied into the app's cache so the Rust side
gets a plain path. playlist_cover_set(id, path) is the desktop pick's
install step split out and shared (squared, the master cover, the row's
revision moved). A playlist's sheet offers Choose cover photo and Remove
custom cover; the mock walk exercises both.
Soulseek lists hundreds of rooms; the phone showed the first 80 and no way
to the rest. Community → Rooms now has a filter by name and extends the
list 200 at a time.
Without a drag: a playlist row's sheet moves it up, down or to the top and
persists the whole order in one call (playlist_set_order, as the desktop's
drop does); a queue row's sheet moves it up or down, never past the track
playing. Also src-tauri/android/ship.sh — one round end to end: the mock
walk, the embedded build installed, the phone walk, the commit, each step
gated on the one before.
The desktop Library's per-record file stats on the phone (library_album_stats,
one call for the whole library): FLAC 24/96 or MP3 320k badges on the cards,
the size on the list rows and the record page. The artist page's own
listening (artist_play_stats): the time played as a chip, the most played
track under "On this phone". The whole-library thumbnail warm a moment after
boot, at the cards' edge, one decode at a time behind the tiles' gate.
The playlist repair (Find a local match: the library searched by the
row's name, a pick relinks it through playlist_relink_item; an unknown
row takes the track's identity). A peer's sheet on the raw results (play
or save the folder, browse their files, message, buddy) and the Browse
screen — the hub's Browse tab: a user's whole share with sizes and totals,
a folder played or saved whole; a share can hold thousands of folders, so
it filters and renders 80 at a time. "Look up a user" on Community →
Buddies. The sheets the phone lacked: a queue row's (Play now, Move to
next, Remove from queue), a catalog song's, a catalog card's and the
record page's own, a raw file's (in the results and in Browse), a room
name's, a buddy's, the now-playing Save (the desktop's Save menu for a
streamed track or record). The artwork viewer with pinch zoom, one layer
the back gesture peels. Search's recent searches and its spelling
suggestion from the names this phone knows. You → Streaming, Downloads,
Sharing, Lyrics, Album artwork, and Clear play history; a record's
Re-fetch the cover. The lyrics tools on the sheet's face: the offset
nudged and kept per track, another LRCLIB candidate chosen, the lookup
forgotten and done again (lyrics.svelte.js, shared by the face and the
lyrics sheet).
The harness: every CDP call times out and the reload step re-attaches
(a WebView that stopped answering hung a walk for ten minutes); the
audio check counts SoulStream's own tracks' underruns from the mixer dump
instead of the thread-wide counters that any app's notification moves —
the afternoon's "dropouts" were other apps' sounds, and the browse of a
49,544-file share measured at zero; __settle resets every tab to its root
through the nav; an adb step kind; the walks cover all of the above on
the mock and on the phone.
The desktop's two playlist pages on the phone: the shelf (pinned first,
mosaic covers, badges, New playlist, Import) and the page (kind, Pinned
chip, description, the meta line's warnings, Play / Shuffle / more, a
filter, rows tagged unresolved / set audio / file missing). Sheets for a
card, the page's overflow, a row, pick-a-playlist, a prompt and a confirm;
Add to playlist on every track and record sheet; a removal undoable for
seven seconds from the neutral toast (notice.svelte.js); stream rows play
through the resolver as path-less entries, a set slice starts and ends at
its cues; Add to library / Download all tracks with the desktop's bulk
rules; nav.replace for a review that became the thing it made.
The import doors that need no file — a link (YouTube · Spotify · Apple
Music · TIDAL · Deezer), a pasted tracklist, a YouTube DJ set — with the
review screen and the desktop's catalog verification pass. A share plugin
crate (crates/tauri-plugin-share): Share → SoulStream from any app keeps
the text in a ShareActivity and the WebView hands it to the import when it
comes back to the front. You → Sources: the source-quality window and the
priority per mode.
Found by the walks and fixed: set_settings takes camelCase arguments, so
the phone's normalization and library-folder saves never landed;
Cover.svelte's non-eager wrapper has no layout box, so its intersection
observer never fired and row thumbnails never loaded (the Artists tab too);
a history push while a history.go was still in flight left the nav mirror
one entry ahead and the page blank after a confirmed delete — the mirror
now applies once per microtask and never pushes during a pending traversal.
The harness names unmocked commands, carries console warnings' frames (the
smoke bundle is built unminified), probes the history mirror on every step,
mocks app_status / play_local / waveform / lyrics_get / player_state and
applies settings patches, runs adb steps on the phone (the share intent),
and walks playlists, the imports, the share and the settings on both the
mock and the phone. ANDROID.md documents all of it.
The same Tauri 2 project builds for Android: mobile.html as a third Vite
entry (src/mobile/, the mockup on real data), tauri.android.conf.json, the
mobile stubs (updater, lyric alignment, vocal separation), rustls reqwest
on Android, the AAudio buffer, and a hand-driven detour build
(src-tauri/android/{env,build,deploy,dev}.sh) while Developer Mode is off.
ANDROID.md is the recipe.
Playback: the media-session plugin crate (lock-screen card, MediaStyle
notification, audio focus, headset buttons, a foreground service that
promotes itself first — Android 14 kills the app otherwise), session
restore across reload and restart, solid chrome after measuring the
backdrop-filter lag.
The catalog: Search is the desktop's top bar (the top-result rule, artist
cards), the artist page and the record page are the desktop's, Home is the
desktop's landing page, Gaps per followed shelf. Playing goes through the
desktop's own source rules, moved verbatim from state.svelte.js into
src/lib/sources.js so both apps share one resolver; the phone readies the
next three tracks and crosses boundaries gapless. Save fetches a record or
a track into the library by the download rules; Transfers shows the
burst. The raw Soulseek search stays, offered on request, a peer's copy
streaming with the lane rising as the bytes arrive. Community is the
Soulseek side (rooms, chat, buddies); the private layer waits.
The opener and storage plugins (social links, the picked library folder,
all-files access), the volume normalization switch, and the harness:
tests/mobile/smoke.mjs walks the mock (a fake network behind
src/lib/events.js) and the real phone over CDP, perf.mjs measures frames.
Tauri decides dev-vs-production from the `custom-protocol` feature, not from
--release, and both workflows build the setup exe with a plain `cargo build`.
So cfg(dev) stayed on, the frontend was never embedded, and the window a
tester opened loaded devUrl: "localhost refused to connect" on a blank
800x580. The feature is a default of the crate now, with a build.rs guard
that fails a release build without it, and build.rs tracks setup/dist so a
changed window cannot be left out of the binary it is supposed to be in.
Behind that, the next wall: /releases/latest answers only with full
releases, and every release here is an alpha, so it 404s. The setup app read
that as a refused key and the app's Stable channel read it as a token that
cannot see the repository — both have been broken since the first alpha.
Each now lists /releases and takes the newest that is neither a draft nor
the rolling nightly, which the list really does put first.
And check_saved_key threw the saved key away on any failure at all, a
dropped connection included. The entry it deletes is the app's own updater
token, so only a refusal clears it now.
The release notes name the file to hand a tester: six assets on the page and
nothing saying which, while the bare NSIS installer is the biggest of them
and installs with no key gate and no signature check.
The supervisor that applies the node's update-wanted exit (code 42)
watched a fresh child for two seconds and then let go. The exit is the
result of a network check the node makes at startup, and it takes as long
as the network takes: on a fresh install today a pinned 0.2.132 exited
several seconds after launch, after the supervisor had already returned,
and the layer read "node absent" with only node.log saying why — the
exact failure the supervisor was written against, back again.
`start_node_inner` now puts the child in `freenet_node` itself and leaves
`watch_for_update` polling it from its own thread for 90 s, under the
lock rather than owning the child — the child belongs to the state, and
the Stop button takes it. An update is applied and the peer restarted
while the lock is held, so nothing reads the dead child as "stopped" and
starts a second peer meanwhile; any other exit is logged and the slot
emptied; an emptied slot ends the watch. The first boot is the one launch
the watcher cannot cover (its child never reaches the state), so that loop
handles code 42 itself, once, with its clock restarted.
Seen live on this machine: the other-exit branch caught a spawn that died
on a busy port (code 43) within half a second and cleared the slot; a peer
killed by hand and started again from the app was connected two seconds
later. The exit-42 branch itself is not reproducible here any more — the
binary is on the latest release — and stands on the same code path.
Importing a shared playlist was a one-time snapshot: the owner's next
revision could only arrive as a whole second copy. A copy now remembers
WHICH revision it was made from, and the app reads the pointer for it
every ten minutes — no new contract, the same pointer and revision reads
the share card already does.
The ledger gains `following`, keyed `owner:uuid` — the one key a database
cannot hand out twice. A follow records the local playlist, the synced
revision (hash + seq) and what the last check saw: the current revision,
the entries it has that the synced one never had (in the owner's order),
and how many synced entries are gone. The diff is by occurrence id, the
proposal board's rule: a reorder is not news, a removal is counted, a
duplicate stays its own row. `import` stages the fetched revision so
`follow` records exactly what the copy was made from — a pointer read of
its own could already name a newer one.
Update appends the new rows through the same resolve path an import uses
(library first, Soulseek stream otherwise) and never removes or reorders:
the copy is the follower's to edit, and a track the owner dropped is
reported, not taken away. It runs under the ledger lock end to end, so a
check landing meanwhile merges against the new synced revision or not at
all. Checks read the network WITHOUT the lock — a pointer read is a ring
search — and merge each result under it afterwards, dropped if the follow
moved on.
Deleting the local copy ends the follow, in `forget_playlist` and the
startup reconcile both: the row id goes back to SQLite, and the next
playlist created must not start taking someone else's updates. Seen live:
the re-import after a delete took row id 1 again and followed cleanly.
Surfaces: an Inbox card when a check finds news ("2 new tracks since you
imported it · 1 removed", Add 2 tracks / stop following), and a Following
row in the playlist's Share sheet (up to date / N new / withdrawn by the
owner, Check now, Stop following). The poll rides the inbox watch: its own
ten-minute interval, plus one pass when the adapter connects.
Live, two instances on this machine: import + follow 582 ms; the owner's
revision 2 (one dropped, two added) read back as exactly "2 new, 1 removed"
in 2.7 s; Add appended two stream rows in 46 ms and left the dropped track
in place; a withdraw read as withdrawn in 57 ms; delete took the follow
with it; re-follow and unfollow both left the copy alone. One pointer read
after a republish timed out at 120 s and arrived a second later — the same
first-read-after-a-change lag the board has.
Tests: the diff (order, removal, a duplicate occurrence) and the ledger
reading files written before follows existed. App 152 · 6 ignored.
