ipx's page is sized for a phone and for a browser window. On a Mac, where
the window is often two thousand points across, it reads small -- measured:
a 2275 by 1427 point window, a 14.5px body font, about 150 characters to a
line. It is right everywhere else, so this is the shell's to fix and not a
text size for ipx to carry.
It scales with CSS zoom on the body, at 1.25 to start, with Cmd-plus,
Cmd-minus and Cmd-0 to change it. The page's own shortcuts are single keys
and ignore a modifier, so they do not collide, and iOS stays at 1.
Not WKWebView.pageZoom, which was tried twice. It scales what is drawn but
leaves the layout box the size of the window: measured, innerHeight said
1141 while html{height:100%} still resolved to 1427, so ipx's full-height
page -- body is 100dvh -- laid itself out at the window's height and was
then scaled past the bottom of it, spilling off the right edge with its
toolbar clipped. CSS zoom is part of layout, so the page measures itself
correctly; body's own width and height are divided back out because its
containing block is not zoomed.
Verified rather than assumed: the toolbar measures 52px with the style off
and 64px with it on, a ratio of 1.24, and the document overflows its
viewport by nothing in either direction.

A shell around the ipodderx-rs web UI whose audio is played by the host
rather than the page, so it carries on with the screen locked and a car can
control it. The page's half of the bridge is web/src/native.ts in
ipodderx-rs (#45): it replaces the playback surface of the page's media
element with one that posts here, so player.ts is unchanged and the player
bar, the row buttons and the keyboard shortcuts work as they always did.
Playback, Library, Bridge and CookieBridge never touch a view, which is
what makes a CarPlay scene a later addition rather than a rewrite, and what
lets the same target build for Mac Catalyst with no conditional code:
AVAudioSession, MPNowPlayingInfoCenter and the remote commands all exist
there. The Mac gets media keys and Now Playing; it has no CarPlay and no
lock screen, so it is a convenience rather than the reason for any of this.
Authentication is the web view's. ipx decides who is asking by cookie --
ipx_session, and CF_Authorization from Cloudflare Access in front of the
tunnel -- and its auth layer was written so a plain <audio src> would work,
which is why the player needs no API of its own. CookieBridge keeps
HTTPCookieStorage in step with the web view's store and hands them to each
asset.
Named ipodderx-app, not -ios: native.ts already carries the branch for an
Android host, and the iOS project is one directory rather than the repo.
