web/signals.svg and web/deadair-{on,off}.svg, each with a -dark twin,
follow logo.svg's rules: square and opaque, the logo's gradient ground,
flat layers in its scale blues, the needle's orange, nothing thin
enough to vanish at 32px. Signals is the page's own glyph, waves going
out from a point, the point in orange. DeadAir on is the waveform
closed up with the needle at the cut; off has the silence still in its
middle, an orange flat line, and its bars muted, so the state is in
the shape as the old glyphs had it.
The Signals folder row and its page header show the Signals tile in
place of the glyph on an accent tint; the player's DeadAir switch shows
the on or off tile. tile() puts both variants on the page, and the mode
rule that picked the logo's now picks any .onlight/.ondark. The three
glyphs nothing uses any more are gone.

$<T> returns the element type it is given and assumes the element is there: 122 lookups take
their type from the tag their id is on in the markup. A handler reads its target through a
cast, since a typed element will not take a handler whose event names a narrower target.
strictNullChecks found no bug the page had; its 94 places were values the code already handles
in ways the type-check could not follow (data- attributes the page writes, a map entry set the
line before, Share drawn only for an item with a link), each now said so.
isPlayable stays a plain boolean: as a type guard its false would have meant "no file", and it
is also false for a file that is not audio or video.

290 places the type-check could not see into, mostly parameters, now typed with web/src/types.ts
(feeds, items, files, accounts, log lines, the directory's rows and items). Two changes run
differently in form only: the seek and volume inputs divide Number(value) where they divided
the string, and esc's table has a name. Null checks are #236.

hls.js sends traceparent on its own requests (xhrSetup); a beacon, which
cannot set a header, and Safari's player, fetching the playlist itself,
carry it in the query, which the server reads where there is no header.

Nothing the page did in the browser reached the logs: a DeadAir playback
failure on the phone was a toast and nothing more. POST /api/client takes
page errors, unhandled rejections, hls.js and media errors, the time from
play to sound and the length of a stall, and logs them as ev lines under
ipx::client, inside the request's span. Only those kinds are taken, the
text cut to 500 characters, and the page sends each at most once a minute.
The page's API requests send traceparent, a new trace id for each tap or
key, and the server's request span takes it as its parent, so one action's
requests are one trace in Tempo, the report included. The stub DOM the
smoke and native-bridge tests run in gains crypto and performance, which
every browser the page runs in has.

DeadAir made a shortened copy of each episode with ffmpeg: as much disk
again as the original, one pause length for everyone, and a minutes-long
wait after the download. Seeking past silences instead was tried on an
iPhone and left about 1.3 s of nothing at every cut (#178).
Now it finds a file's silences once (silencedetect, plus ffprobe for
each frame's byte position) and stores a plan for each pause a person
can choose, 0.2 to 0.5 s: the cuts, and the frames kept as byte ranges
of the original. /media/{id}/deadair.m3u8 hands this person's plan out
as an HLS playlist of ranges of /media/{id}/deadair.mp3, the original.
Tested on iOS Safari first (#180): no gap at the cuts, plays locked,
seeks exactly, and needs no ID3 timestamp in front of each piece.
Other browsers get hls.js (1.6.19, the light build), loaded only when
needed. Not where canPlayType says it can play HLS: Chromium answers
"maybe" and then fails on MP3 ranges with "stream parsing failed", so
only Apple's browsers play the playlist themselves.
The pause is per person and per show, on deadair_prefs.pause_ms, 0.3 s
unless chosen; 0.2 s, what the copies left, made speech sound rushed.
AAC in MP4 has no ranges a playlist can use, so only MP3 and ADTS AAC
are shortened (the library is 803 MP3s and no .m4a). The copies, their
table and #179's expiry go: the first start drops the table and deletes
the files it names, only those named name.deadair.*.

The switch, the button's tooltip, the toasts and the time saved now say
what the name already pictures, the dead air cut, instead of explaining
it as silences shortened each time. The caption says the voice keeps its
own pace, which is the part people doubt, and names the shows to leave
out: stories whose pauses are part of the telling.

A DeadAir switch in each show's settings, and the same switch beside
the speed for the show that is playing, drawn as a waveform with its gap
closed up, outlined when off and solid when on, with aria-pressed. A
file the server gives a copy for plays from /media/{id}/deadair. An
episode's line says how much shorter it is, and Settings says how much
DeadAir has saved you.
Turning it on or off mid-episode saves the place with a request it waits
for, not a beacon, then asks for the entry again from the new
GET /api/entries/{feed}/{guid}, whose position is in the clock of the
version it now plays, and carries on there. A copy not made yet plays
from the next time. Turning a show on wakes the copy maker, so the copy
is there in seconds rather than at its next pass.
The browser test plays a real MP3 with long silences, quiet.mp3, from a
show it adds and removes itself.

Currently Listening's search box said "Search items…" and did nothing: loadEntries returns early
for a place with its own list. Typing now redraws the list with the search sent along, as
/api/entries already takes one, title and text, and says so when nothing in progress matches.
The keys list says / searches it too.

The Directory was one grid of every listed feed, 1,472 in production, under Podcasts and Blogs
tabs, a wall of about 30 category buttons and a sort menu, with a picked category's
subcategories appearing as a second row of buttons that looked like the first. It read as a
list to scroll, and the two rows were hard to tell apart.
It opens now on the ten most subscribed feeds, ranked, and the categories as tiles, each with
three of its shows' covers fanned in its corner on the tint its initials would get, so the
shows colour it and no theme's palette changes. A category has a page of its own: its most
subscribed, its subcategories with how many each holds, and its grid. See all is every feed,
as the grid was. Podcasts or Blogs holds across every page. Popular, the ten most subscribed,
had a place of its own in the feed list; it is the Directory's first section instead, and its
key, g p, is gone. /api/popular stays for scripts.
The search box finds a feed in the Directory by name (#126). It said "Search items…" there and
did nothing, since loadEntries returns early for a place that lists feeds.
A feed you do not subscribe to opens a page of its own (#128): its cover, category (a link to
that category's page), how many here subscribe, a subscribe button and its latest twenty items,
each with its title, linking to the post where it has one, its first lines, date and length.
Before, a click on it did nothing; only its + did. The items come from GET /api/directory/{id},
which answers only for a feed the Directory lists, so a guessed id reaches nothing private, and
carries no file or its address. The feed's own description would belong at the top, but the
database does not keep one.
Every tile and chart row takes the keyboard, as the feed list's rows do. Feed text made plain
keeps a space at a line break or a paragraph's end, which glued "2010)Recorded" together.

RSS 2.0 makes an item's title optional, and some blogs leave it out on purpose: Scripting News
titles almost none of its posts. Fifty rows of "(untitled)" said nothing about any of them.
entryName gives an item its title, or the opening of its text (HTML read through DOMParser, an
inert document that loads nothing; cut at a word near 120 characters), or its file's name, or
its show and date, with a flag for a name that is not a title. The list sets that one in the
regular weight, as the text it is rather than a heading; the reader leaves out the heading so
the post starts with itself; the player, the lock screen, Currently Listening, the native shell,
Share and the queued toast use the same name.

The page loaded artwork from each publisher's server, or through /api/art, fetched every time,
for http-only hosts. Nothing was kept, every visit asked every publisher, and artwork went when
a publisher's server did.
- The page draws every image a feed or item names from /api/art. The first time, iPX fetches
it (only an address a feed or item names, only an image, up to 5 MB, within the feed timeout)
and keeps it in art/ beside the database, under a hash of its address with its type beside
it (src/art.rs). Later it comes from disk, which marks it as used.
- art_cache_mb, a server setting on the admin page, 500 by default, caps what is kept: the
sweep before each scan drops the least recently shown until it fits. 0 keeps nothing, and
artwork is fetched through iPX each time. Settings saved before it get the default.
- Served from iPX's own address, someone else's image must stay an image: nosniff, and a CSP
with sandbox, so an SVG opened on its own runs no script as iPX.
- The fixture server sends .jpg as image/jpeg, which /api/art requires.

selectEntry took each read item out of the list the moment you moved on
from it, so the item was not there for the back swipe (or k) to reach: it
went to the one before, or to the list if the item had been first.
Items read while turning from one to the next (a swipe, j and k) now stay
in the list until the reader closes or another item is picked from the
list, and a background refresh keeps them as it keeps the open one.
Picking a row still drops the item left behind at once, as before.

Both have nothing to confirm, so their only button was a lone X at the
foot of the card, below the fold of a long Settings card. A dialog with a
confirm keeps Cancel beside it at the bottom, where the pair belongs.

Only the player bar's button changed; the files pane's, the row's and the
toolbar's kept showing play while it played. play() now pauses when asked to play
what is already playing, which makes each of them a toggle, and syncPlayButtons()
repaints them on play, pause and ended and whenever the list or reader is drawn.
Closes#34.

- web/src/*.ts: the script that was inline in index.html and login.html, split along its
existing sections. Still one scope, concatenated in order, not modules.
- web/build.mjs strips the types, puts the script in the page and minifies it with swc;
build.rs runs it into OUT_DIR and web.rs include_str!s the result. 137 KB -> 106 KB.
- npx tsc -p . type-checks web/src, loosely; the handful of annotations it needed
change no behaviour.
- The Docker build installs node and swc (npm ci --omit=dev).
- Two list requests racing no longer let the older one win, and switching tabs clears
the selection it closes, which made a browser test flaky.
Closes#23, #24.
