Caddy's tracing directive, switched by WEB_TRACING so a server without a collector does not log
a failed export every few seconds. It continues an incoming traceparent (the page starts one per
tap, #190) and passes it to ipx, so a request is one trace from the browser through Caddy into
ipx, and Caddy's access log carries its traceID. Checked against Tempo with a probe container:
service.name and deployment.environment.name come from the OTEL_ variables, over OTLP/HTTP.

The #146 rule lets icon buttons shrink so a feed header's seven fit one row at 390px. It
matched the Directory feed page's row too, where nothing sets the row's width, so the buttons
shrank to their icons: 18px wide, 44px tall.

Caddy logs one JSON line a request, filtered: no ?token= in the address and no request
headers, which hold the session cookie and Access's token. Its default log, errors included,
has the same filter, since an error line carries the request too. The directory logs a line a
refresher round, so the dashboard can show its progress.

Caddy reports an IPv4 peer as plain IPv4 even on its dual-stack socket, so remote_ip
192.168.64.1 matched all along. The stripping seen came from testing on Tower itself, whose
requests reach the published port as 192.168.1.130, rightly not the tunnel. From
cloudflared's network a forged Access token reaches ipx's check and is refused.

Caddy listens dual-stack, so the ipx_default gateway connects as ::ffff:192.168.64.1, and
remote_ip 192.168.64.1 does not match it: every Cf-Access-* header was stripped, the
tunnel's too. The browser suite binds Caddy to 127.0.0.1, IPv4 only, so it never saw it.

web/build.mjs builds a static site, web/dist, with the icons and typeface
beside the pages; Dockerfile.web serves it with Caddy, which passes /api
and /media to ipx on the same origin, so cookies, live updates and
Cloudflare Access work as before. ipx serves no page any more: build.rs
and every include_str! of the web files are gone, and its image is built
without node.
What ipx did to the page as it served it is kept another way. Caddy asks
ipx before serving a page (forward_auth): /api/page-check sends a browser
not signed in to /login and a non-admin away from /admin, and refuses them
/admin.js; /api/login-check sends someone Access vouches for past the
form; a page asked for with ?token= goes to /api/signin, which sets the
cookie. The theme and the admin link, once written into the page per
person, are set by web/boot.js in <head> from the theme cookie and the
last visit, before the first frame, and /api/me brings the version and
the account's theme from before.
Caddy strips the Cf-Access-* headers from every peer but TUNNEL_PEER, the
address cloudflared's requests come from, which is the boundary
trusted_proxies drew; ipx then trusts only Caddy's address.
The browser suite runs Caddy in front of its daemon, so it tests what
production would run. Not deployed: production's cutover is on #203.

ipx asks ipx-directory on its people's behalf, with the token an admin set
in the new Admin, Directory tab, so the page never talks to it and never
sees the token or a feed's address. /api/directory, /api/popular and a
feed's Directory page answer from it; subscribing takes the address from
the directory and goes through Add feed's steps. With no directory set
up, the Directory says so. The local directory code is gone; its privacy
checks are the snapshot builder's now, and their tests moved with them.
With sharing on, ipx sends its snapshot after every scan, whenever the
config changes (set_cfg) and every half hour: each public feed and how
many here subscribe, never an OPML or Patreon creator itself or anything
private. A feed can be marked private in its settings, for a paid feed
whose address does not give it away; anyone subscribed may mark it, only
an admin unmark it. The admin's category for a feed that names none goes
with it, which the directory uses only while the feed names none, so the
category an admin gives a blog still reaches the Directory.
The directory lists only feeds it has read as a feed: the first snapshot
after a start went before the first scan, when an OPML was not yet known
to be one, and the directory listed the OPML. It now fetches what a
snapshot brings in at once instead of within the minute.
The browser suite runs its own ipx-directory on SQLite; the Directory's
tests match feeds by title, since the directory names them by address.

hls.js sends traceparent on its own requests (xhrSetup); a beacon, which

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.

The save button fetched the original while the player played it shortened.
/media/{id}/deadair sends the original's ID3 tag and then the pieces of the
person's plan one after another, read as it goes: MP3 and ADTS frames each
stand alone, so that is a file any player takes, and nothing is stored, as
with the playlist. The tag stops at the first kept frame, since what can
follow it, the Xing frame, gives the original's length.

Below the box it read as a setting about something else. It sits after

"Pause it leaves" said how DeadAir works, with an "it" to decode, not

The four segmented buttons gave no sense that 0.2 to 0.5 s is one scale,
and stayed on screen with DeadAir off, where they did nothing. A range
input with a dot at each stop and Brisk/Relaxed at its ends says both.

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.*.

A new download in a show with DeadAir on plays at full length until its
copy is made, and nothing said so. Each file now carries
deadair_pending while DeadAir is on for its show and the copy is still
to come (not for one heard through, which it passes over), and the
episode's line and details say "Cutting dead air…". The maker sends a
deadair_done event when it finishes a file, and the page takes the list
again, so the line becomes how much shorter the episode is without a
reload.

The pane is 245 px wide above 820 px, and a downloaded file's size and
four buttons did not fit, so delete wrapped under the rest. The row no
longer wraps, its gaps and the buttons' padding are tighter, and the
size gives way with an ellipsis if anything still has to.

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.

Outlined bars against solid ones read the wrong way round at 20 px: the

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.

Asked for after the redesign: the switch and what depends on it sit in one box with rounded

Asked for after the redesign went out: the box of settings the same for everyone (address, folder,
Directory category) held what a person reading the feed cannot and should not change. The address
moves to the top, under the feed's name, with its copy button, read-only except to an admin, who
can still follow a feed that moved from its failing banner. The folder and the category leave the
dialog.

One column of label, box and grey paragraph, eight times at the same weight, three screens long on a
phone with Save at the bottom of the third. Approved from the mockups on #167.
- Download automatically comes first, as a switch; how many, the keywords and explicit, which only
ever applied to automatic downloads, hang beneath it and fold away when it is off.
- How many is Default, Newest or All, said as a sentence with the number in it, over a strip of the
feed's own newest items, each as tall as it is long and lit where it downloads; dragging along
it sets Newest. All is 0, which now means all (#166).
- Keywords and hidden words are chips: Enter or a comma adds one, its x or Backspace removes it.
- The feed's own settings, the same for everyone and an admin's to change, sit apart in a box.
- The body scrolls and Cancel and Save stay at the foot.
- Theme colours only; iOS switches, but checkboxes in Classic. openModal takes a class for a
dialog with a frame of its own, set whole each time so it never outlives it.
A browser test covers the strip, chips, the fold and a save that holds.

All Subscriptions said 1 unread when the server had none. The badge is the page's own sum of its
feed list, loaded once and patched only by events the server sends when a scan or a download
changes a feed. Reading an item, marking everything read or unsubscribing sends none, so another
device's page kept its old counts, and an iPhone stops the event stream while the app is in the
background, missing everything meanwhile; the reconnect did not catch up.
The page now takes the feed list and the open list again when it comes back into view and when the
stream reconnects after a drop. A browser test reads an item behind the page's back and checks the
badge follows once the page is shown again; it fails without this.

In a home-screen app iOS paints the strip behind the status bar and the Dynamic Island itself, in
one flat colour, from theme-color. Glass's bar is see-through, so theme-color fell back to Glass's
page background, #0b0d14 (#eef1f7 light), above a bar that showed #191e34 on average, bluer at the
left and purple at the right: a near-black band, or a white one in light mode.
No flat strip can match a see-through bar, so on a phone the bar is solid, in what it showed on
average (--glass-bar, measured in Chromium off the bar's top edge), and theme-color carries the
same colour. Everywhere else Glass is as it was. The browser test checks the bar is solid and
theme-color equals it in both modes.

On a phone the feed list is a drawer slid off the screen to the left, and it kept its shadow
there, which fell back across the page: the left 30px or so of the top bar and everything under
it were darker, in every theme (Glass light 231,233,243 at the edge against 246,247,255). Beside
the flat strip iOS paints above the page it made a seam at the top-left corner (#147).
Hiding the closed drawer instead (visibility) would also have done it, but every phone test
starts by waiting for the feed list to be visible, which off the screen it still counts as.

46f9370 set theme-color, but Safari 26 ignores it. iOS 26 paints the strip behind the status bar
and the island in the background colour of a sticky or fixed element at the page's top edge, and
failing that the root's. The top bar was neither, and the root had no colour of its own (only
body did), so iOS used black or white: a band of another colour above the bar.
The bar is sticky now, though nothing scrolls under it, so iOS reads its colour; the root has the
page's background for screens with nothing at the top edge; Classic's metal bar gets a colour
under its gradient, the top of the metal, since iOS reads no gradient. theme-color stays, set to
the bar's colour, for iPhones before iOS 26 and for Android. Glass's bar is see-through, so iOS
frosts what is under it there, as the bar itself does.
Taken from developers' reports of iOS 26, not Apple's documentation, and not yet seen on a phone.

The page named no theme-color, so the status bar iOS draws around the Dynamic Island was its own
black or white, a band across the top of every theme. The page and the admin page now carry one,
set to the page's background whenever the theme or mode changes; Android's toolbar takes it too.
Not seen on a phone yet: the browser test checks the colour matches, not what iOS does with it.
A browser test at 360px covers this and #146's row of buttons. The stub DOM gains

A feed's page has seven 44px buttons, which fit a 390px phone with nothing to spare: on a 360px
one, Unsubscribe went onto a second row by itself. Below that width an icon button now narrows
rather than the row breaking. The reader's buttons were items of its meta line itself, so a long
feed name took them onto the next line one at a time; they are one group now, which moves as one.

The reader's pin, a feed page's pin and the toolbar's showed pinned only by turning the glyph
solid, in the same grey as the button around it, and at a glance it read the same as not pinned.
Pinned, they are now filled with the theme's accent and the pin drawn in the ink the theme pairs
with it, the pair a pinned feed's disc and a pinned item's row already use, so no palette changes.

205 of the Directory's 208 feeds without a category had never been read: on 2026-10-05 at 03:24
UTC every one failed with "dns error: ... Temporary failure in name resolution" within a minute,
during an outage on Tower that also stopped iPX's log reaching Loki until Tower rebooted at 11:56.
They are working podcasts, NPR's, Megaphone's, Acast's, which resolve now. A feed nobody
subscribes to is read once a day and a failing one backs off up to a day (#99), so each sat
failing, unread and so uncategorised (#117) until the next day, and explain_failure called every
DNS error "This address no longer resolves; the site is gone.", on its page and since #142 on its
Directory page. A forced check of the 208 read 205; each has its items, its description and its
own category now.
A temporary lookup failure, EAI_AGAIN, is not recorded on the feed at all: no last_error, no
error_since to back off from or call it gone by. The daemon notes it in Ctx::retry and the feed
is due again in ten minutes, which the scan's due check and the sleep until the next scan both
honour; a restart forgets it, which only makes the retry sooner. A name that does not exist is
still the feed's error, explained as "may be gone", and the Directory page, like the feed's own,
names a cause only once a feed has been failing a day; before that its last check failed.
The page also drops "Nobody here subscribes yet", which said nothing worth a line.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
daily-quests, one subscriber and no items, showed "Nothing read from it yet. A feed nobody here
subscribes to is checked once a day." on its page in the Directory: the second sentence was
written whatever the count, and the feed had been failing since #119 said so, which the page
never showed, /api/directory/{id} sending no error.
It sends `failing` now, the reason a feed's own page gives (explain_failure), or that the last
check failed, never the error itself, which can name the feed's address, and the Directory names
none. The page shows it under the header in the error colour, and says a feed is checked once a
day only when nobody subscribes and nothing is wrong.

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

The keys list says / searches it too.

Checking every feed made all the feeds' icons in the feed list flash while it ran. A check sends
each feed's new row as it reads the feed, and renderFeeds, run once a frame while they come in,
emptied the list and built every row anew, every <img> with it: each icon went blank and was
loaded and drawn again, many times a second through a scan of 150 feeds.
The rows are still rebuilt, but the images already drawn go into the new ones in place of the
fresh copies, matched by their markup, so only an icon that has changed is made anew. A browser
test checks the rows are new and the images in them the same elements, and fails without this.

A feed's page in the Directory (#128) had its cover, category and latest items, but not the
feed's own description, which Apple's show page leads with: iPX read every item's description
and threw the channel's away, and the feeds table had nowhere to keep it.
It is parsed now, RSS's <description>, or iTunes' summary when that is empty, or Atom's
subtitle, kept in feeds.description (kept when a later read has none, as title and image are),
and sent, sanitized, with the items from /api/directory/{id}, which is now an object, not a
list. The page shows it as plain text under the header, three lines of it, with More when there
is more. A description that only repeats the title is left out.
feeds.description is the first column added to a table that already exists. create_missing
looks for it with a SELECT and runs the ALTER only when it is missing, since it runs on every
open, the healthcheck's included, and an ALTER's lock is what made that time out before. The
same once-only step forgets every feed's ETag and Last-Modified: a feed is read whole only when
it has changed, so its description would otherwise wait for its next item.

Hovering a category tile turned its outer two covers further out over 0.2s, and it looked
choppy. Traced in Chromium, the covers were given layers of their own only once the transition
began, so the browser drew them again on its first frames and again on the way back, 22 raster
tasks for a hover in and out, and the main thread produced 34 frames for 0.4s of motion.
Each cover now has its layer before the pointer arrives (will-change), all three move, rotate
and translate are animated as properties of their own rather than as one transform list, and
the fan takes 0.45s on an ease that settles. The same hover is 5 raster tasks, and the
compositor presents 116 frames to the main thread's 26.

Each tile took a faint tint from a hash of its category's name, as an initials tile does, so
neighbours differed. Five of them, Comedy, Government, Kids & Family, Leisure and Music, drew
--good, and green means yours everywhere else on the page, the subscribed tick and a downloaded
file among them: those tiles read as holding something you subscribe to, when the tint meant
nothing. The fanned covers already give each tile its colour.

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.

The API took a session cookie, a proxy's word or the shared admin token, so a script or an
agent working for one person had to sign in with their password and carry the cookie, or be
given the admin token. Settings now makes named tokens, ipx_ and 256 random bits, sent as
Authorization: Bearer. A token is its owner and no more. Only its SHA-256 is kept, in the
new api_tokens table, with when it was made and last used; it is shown once and revoked from
the same list. An unknown or revoked one gets a 401 rather than falling through to a cookie.
Cloudflare Access still stands in front of the tunnel, so from outside a token needs an
Access service token beside it; docs/sso.md says how.

The Directory always listed A to Z, as the server sends it. A menu beside its filters now
sorts it A to Z, Z to A or by most subscribers (then by name), in the page, without asking

A pinned feed has a disc in the theme's accent, its pin in the ink the theme pairs with it;
a pinned item only turned its pin solid in the text colour. The item's pin button now draws
the same disc, as a background inside its 22px button so the row does not move when an
item is pinned. The colours are the ones .fpin already uses; no palette changes.

The Directory had one row of chips holding whatever each feed's category was, a category
(Technology) or a subcategory (Tech News, Video Games) side by side: a podcast's own
<itunes:category> is stored as its subcategory, and Jev's answers (#117) are often
subcategories too, so after the first forced scan the row held 22 chips. /api/directory now
gives each feed's Apple category and subcategory, worked out from Apple's list, and the
page shows the categories, then a picked one's subcategories on a line of their own. A
category that is not Apple's, one an admin typed, stands as a category of its own.

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.

Every file in state 'pending' counted as waiting to download: 4420 in production, across 12
shows. Since #97 a scan only downloads among a feed's newest max_new_per_check items, so those
were back-catalogue episodes no scan would take; the real queue was 0.
A new state, 'held': listed and downloadable by hand, but outside the feed's newest items, or of
a feed nothing downloads automatically. Db::hold_back moves a feed's waiting files between
'pending' and 'held' each time the feed is due, changed or not, and again after its items are
stored, so a new episode, a raised limit or auto-download turned on or off moves them. A held
file keeps its item's place among the newest, as a downloaded one does. 'pending' now means
queued, so ipx status, /api/status and the dashboard read true without changing.

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.

The pin was a small accent-coloured icon before the feed's name. It is now a disc on the
artwork's corner, where a failing feed's mark is, in the accent and the ink the theme already
pairs with it for primary buttons (checked by tests/contrast.js), so no palette changes. A feed
both pinned and failing keeps the error mark at the bottom corner and the pin at the top.
