+## 2026-09-11 — One meaning per icon, sortable columns, and one player
+
+Ray asked for a pass over the whole UI: consistent icons, and buttons placed next to what they act
+on. The pass started from screenshots of every view and dialog, taken against the browser suite's
+own daemon and fixtures. Several things did not agree:
+
+- Unsubscribe was a minus in the toolbar but an x in the feed header. There it read as "close this
+  page", and x also meant Cancel in every dialog.
+- Half the dialogs still had word buttons: Log, Add feed, Users, Unsubscribe, OPML, Popular's
+  Subscribe, the Copy buttons and Sign out.
+- The player bar and the folder arrow were font characters, and so was the row's "playing" marker.
+  Those came out thin and varied from font to font.
+- The OPML subscription page laid out its header differently from a feed's, and All Subscriptions
+  had no buttons at all.
+
+The rule now is one meaning per icon. Minus unsubscribes, x closes or cancels, plus adds, subscribes
+or imports, and a dialog's confirm button carries the icon of what it does. The words go in the
+tooltip. The toolbar is grouped by what it acts on: add, unsubscribe and scan act on feeds; play,
+read and keep act on the selected item. Its read and keep buttons now show that item's state, as
+the item's own buttons already did. A browser test opens all eight dialogs and fails on any button
+without an icon and a tooltip. It also checks that the toolbar and the page use the same icon for
+the same action.
+
+The pass turned up three bugs:
+
+- **Escape ignored inside a dialog's text box.** The keydown handler returned early for any key
+  typed in a text box, and Escape sat below that check. So Add feed, which opens with the cursor in
+  its URL box, could not be closed with Escape. It showed up because the screenshot run stalled:
+  the dialog stayed open, and every later click landed on its overlay until the run timed out.
+- **A white password box in the dark theme.** The input rule listed text, search and number
+  fields, but not password ones.
+- **A stray "• •" under an item with no date.** Each detail carried its own trailing dot, whether
+  or not the next one was there.
+
+All Subscriptions gained Mark everything read, as `POST /api/read-all`. It marks the feeds from the
+person's subscriptions, which is the same set the view's query is scoped by. It asks first, since
+one click covers every feed.
+
+**Sorting** happens on the server. A list arrives fifty at a time, so sorting in the page would
+only have reordered what was loaded. The column name picks one of a fixed set of SQL expressions
+(`order_sql`), so nothing the browser sends reaches the query, and an unknown name means newest
+first. Ties also fall back to newest first, so "Load more" does not skip or repeat items at a page
+boundary. A database test runs every column both ways. Size came out of the File column into its
+own, and small files show KB, since whole megabytes made every article image "0 MB".
+
+**The double play.** Ray found that pressing play in the Files pane played the file twice at once.
+The pane drew its own `<audio controls>`, and its `onplay` handler also started the player bar on
+the same file. That meant two audio elements from one click. The pane now has a play button that
+hands that exact file to the player bar, the only player. `play()` now takes the file. Its check
+for resuming compares the file as well as the item, so another of an item's files starts from its
+beginning instead of carrying on with the first. A test plays from the pane and checks the page
+has one `<audio>` element.
