Release ipx 1.0.0, ipx-directory 1.0.0 and ipx-web 1.0.0, as Gitea releases

Each release is now a Gitea release as well as an image: scripts/release.sh takes the binary (or
the page's files) out of the deployed image, checks its version, and attaches it as a tarball with
the changelog section as the notes.

 # Checking production ipx
 
-Production logs one JSON object a line (`IPX_LOG_FORMAT=json`), which Alloy ships to Loki under
-`{container="iPX"}`, and sends traces to Tempo tagged
-`resource.deployment.environment.name="production"`. Anything without that tag is a daemon run by
-hand, not production. Loki and Tempo publish no query port, so use the script beside this file:
+Production is three containers in the Arcane project `ipx` on Tower
+(`/mnt/fast/arcane/projects/ipx/compose.yaml`), one request passing through them in this order:
+
+| container | what | logs, in Loki | traces, in Tempo | metrics, in Prometheus |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `ipx-web` | Caddy: serves the page, passes `/api` and `/media` to ipx (#203). Port 8099, the LAN and the tunnel | `{container="ipx-web"}`, JSON: a line a request (`http.log.access`), its own errors | service `ipx-web`: a span a request, passing `traceparent` on to ipx (#213) | none |
+| `iPX` | the daemon: API, scans, downloads, DeadAir | `{container="iPX"}`, JSON (`IPX_LOG_FORMAT=json`) | service `ipx`; passes `traceparent` to the directory | `job="ipx"`, its `/metrics` |
+| `ipx-directory` | the directory of public podcasts, `directory.ipxreader.app` (#204, #214) | `{container="ipx-directory"}`, JSON (`DIRECTORY_LOG_FORMAT=json`) | service `ipx-directory`: a span a request, joining ipx's trace when ipx called; a trace a refresher round (#213) | none |
+
+Under them, Tower itself: `job="node"` (the node exporter: load, CPU, memory, disks). The Grafana
+dashboard `iPX` draws all of it in that order (`grafana/dashboard.py`). A trace without the
+production tag (`resource.deployment.environment.name="production"`, on all three) is a daemon run
+by hand, not production. Since #213 a request is one trace across the services it touched: a
+Directory page is ipx-web, then ipx, then the directory, so start from the trace, not the logs. Alloy ships the logs; Loki, Tempo and

-## The checks
+### What Prometheus carries
+
+The daemon's own state between requests, which no log line or trace holds (#194): ipx serves
+`/metrics` on `[web] metrics_bind` (production: `192.168.1.130:9187`, LAN only), on a thread and
+port of its own, from memory alone, and Prometheus scrapes it every 15 s as `job="ipx"`. Kept
+from 2026-10-11 15:15 UTC. All gauges:
+
+| metric | what |
+|---|---|
+| `ipx_db_connections{state="in_use"\|"idle"}`, `ipx_db_connections_max` | the database pool: in use reaching the max means requests and scans wait for a connection |
+| `ipx_worker_queue` | commands waiting for the sequential worker (scans, downloads, adds) |
+| `ipx_event_listeners` | open pages and socket clients on the live-update stream |
+| `ipx_torrent_slots_free` | of 2 |
+| `ipx_deadair_playing` | episodes being played through DeadAir's playlist |
+| `ipx_runtime_workers`, `ipx_runtime_tasks`, `ipx_runtime_queue` | tokio: threads, live tasks, tasks waiting for a thread |

+| `ipx_uptime_seconds`, `ipx_build_info{version}` | since the daemon started; what runs |
+| `ipx_worker_busy`, `ipx_worker_job_seconds{kind}` | the worker's job now (`scan`, `reap`, `download`, `status`, `reload`) and for how long; the healthcheck passes while it is stuck |
+| `ipx_jobs_total{kind}`, `ipx_job_seconds_total{kind}` | counters: jobs finished, and their seconds all told |

+| `ipx_download_bytes_total` | counter; `rate()` is the download speed |

+   `up` 0 means Prometheus cannot reach the port: the container is down or `metrics_bind` is
+   unset. Connections in use at the pool's max (20 on Postgres) means something is waiting for
+   one: find the slow requests or scan of that time in check 3 and 5. A worker queue that only
+   grows means downloads are not keeping up, or the worker is stuck on one job. A runtime queue
+   above 0 for more than a scrape or two means every thread is busy: something is blocking a
+   thread or burning one. Memory, open files or tasks only climbing across a day with no restart
+   is a leak (a file or socket not closed, a task never ending); a step after a deploy is not. A
+   reset of the uptime is a restart: match it with a deploy, or it is a crash (check 4).
+
+   The worker: one job over 30 minutes (`ipx_worker_job_seconds`), or a scan last finished over
+   15 minutes ago, is the worker stuck, which the healthcheck does not notice; its trace and the
+   log lines of that time say on what. A kind whose share of `ipx_job_seconds_total` jumps is
+   where the worker's time went (reap was most of it until #193). Web requests in flight near
+   the pool's max mean the pool is what they wait on. Live updates missed mean a page showed stale
+   counts until reloaded. DeadAir over a minute on one file is a file ffmpeg chokes on.
+
+7. **What the page saw.** The browser's own errors and timings, which no server line shows.
+   ```
+   $Q metric 'sum by (ev, msg) (count_over_time({container="iPX"} |= "\"target\":\"ipx::client\"" | json | __error__="" | level="WARN" [$range]))' 7d
+   $Q logs '{container="iPX"} |= "\"target\":\"ipx::client\"" | json | ev=~"play_start|stall" | line_format "{{.timestamp}} {{.user}} {{.ev}} {{.ms}}ms deadair={{.deadair}} {{.feed}}"' 24h
+   ```
+   A `player_error` is playback that failed in front of someone: `hls.js: ...` is DeadAir's
+   playlist (its trace has the playlist and audio requests), `media error 4` a file the browser
+   cannot play. A `page_error` or `rejection` is a bug in the page; `src` and `line` point into
+   the minified `app.js`, so match the message to `web/src`. `play_start` over 2000 ms, or a
+   `stall`, is worth a trace: was it the server, Cloudflare, or the network.
+
+`docker logs --since 10m iPX 2>&1 | tail -5` shows the newest lines when Loki is behind.
+
+## ipx-web, the page
+
+Caddy logs one JSON line a request (#210), logger `http.log.access.log0`: Loki's `| json` gives
+`request_uri`, `request_method`, `request_remote_ip`, `status`, `duration` (seconds, not ms), `size`.
+The request's headers and a `?token=` are filtered out before it is written. Its healthcheck
+requests come from `127.0.0.1` every 30 s; leave them out. `/api` and `/media` pass on to ipx and
+are in ipx's own access log too, with ipx's time; Caddy's `duration` for them adds the hop.
 
 ```sh
-docker ps --filter name=iPX --format '{{.Status}}'
-docker logs --since 10m iPX 2>&1 | tail -5
+W='{container="ipx-web"} |= "http.log.access" | json | __error__="" | request_remote_ip != "127.0.0.1"'
+$Q metric "sum by (status) (count_over_time($W [\$range]))"
+$Q metric "sum by (request_uri) (count_over_time($W | status >= 500 [\$range]))"
+$Q metric "topk(10, quantile_over_time(0.95, $W | request_uri !~ \"/(api|media)/.*\" | unwrap duration [\$range]) by (request_uri))"
+$Q logs '{container="ipx-web"} | json | __error__="" | level=~"warn|error" | msg !~ "admin endpoint disabled|automatic HTTPS is completely disabled|HTTP/[23] skipped.*|exiting; byeee.*"'
 ```
 
+A 502 is ipx not answering Caddy: a restart (match the deploy) or ipx down; Caddy's error line
+names it (`dial tcp ...:8099: connect: connection refused`). The page itself (`/`, `/admin`)
+waits on `/api/page-check` before it is sent, so a slow page is usually a slow page-check: look it
+up in ipx's access log. 401 and 303 on `/` are people signed out being sent to `/login`, not a
+problem. Caddy's own notices at each start (no admin endpoint, no HTTPS or HTTP/3, its goodbye on
+SIGTERM) are by design and filtered out above.
+
+Each access line carries the request's `traceID` (`| json` gives `traceID`): give it to `$Q trace`
+to see where the time went, Caddy's span with ipx's inside it. A slow page with ipx's span short is
+Caddy or the network; a long one is ipx.
+
+```sh
+$Q traces '{resource.service.name="ipx-web" && duration > 2s}'
+$Q traces '{resource.service.name="ipx-web" && status = error}'
+```
+
+Who reaches it: `request_remote_ip` is `192.168.64.1` for the tunnel and anything else on Tower
+(Docker's gateway), `192.168.1.130` for Tower itself, a LAN address for the LAN. Caddy passes
+Cloudflare Access's headers on only from `192.168.64.1` (`TUNNEL_PEER`), and ipx trusts them only
+from Caddy, with a valid signed token. Testing sign-in from Tower proves nothing about the tunnel
+(#209): send it from a container on another network.
+
+## ipx-directory
+
+It logs a line a request (`target` `ipx_directory::http`: `method`, `path`, `status`,
+`duration_ms`, `token`, the token's name and never the token), a line a snapshot (`message`
+`snapshot`: `instance`, `accepted`, `refused_private`, `refused_blocked`, `refused_invalid`), a
+line a refresher round (`feeds checked`: `checked`), a line a failed feed check (`feed check
+failed`: `feed`, the directory's id, and `error`), the admin's actions (`feed removed and
+blocked`, `feed unblocked`, `snapshot dropped`, each with `by`), and `config read again` when its
+token file changes. It has no metrics. Its traces (#213): a span a request (`http`), a child of
+ipx's when ipx called with a `traceparent`, and a trace a refresher round (`refresh`, `feeds`)
+with a `feed` span for each check. Its log lines carry no trace id; find the trace by time or by
+the feed.
+
+```sh
+$Q traces '{resource.service.name="ipx-directory" && duration > 2s}'
+$Q traces '{resource.service.name="ipx-directory" && name="feed" && duration > 10s}'
+$Q traces '{resource.service.name="ipx" && name="directory_share"}'
+```
+
+A slow Directory page in ipx is usually its `http` span in the directory: the trace says whether.
+A refresher round far over a minute is one publisher's feed holding it, the slow `feed` span.
+
+```sh
+D='{container="ipx-directory"} | json | __error__=""'
+$Q metric "sum by (status, token) (count_over_time({container=\"ipx-directory\"} |= \"ipx_directory::http\" | json | __error__=\"\" [\$range]))"
+$Q metric "topk(5, max_over_time({container=\"ipx-directory\"} |= \"ipx_directory::http\" | json | __error__=\"\" | unwrap duration_ms [\$range]) by (path))"
+$Q logs "$D | level=~\"WARN|ERROR\""
+$Q logs "$D | message=\"snapshot\"" 7d
+$Q metric "sum(count_over_time($D | message=\"snapshot\" [\$range])) by (instance)"
+$Q metric "sum by (feed, error) (count_over_time($D | message=\"feed check failed\" [\$range]))" 7d
+$Q metric "sum(sum_over_time($D | message=\"feeds checked\" | unwrap checked [\$range]))" 24h
+```
+
+Expect a snapshot from each server when what it shares changes and every half hour, so about 48 a
+day each; one every half minute is ipx resending what has not changed (#211, fixed). A burst of
+401s with an empty `token` is someone without a token trying the public address, expected now and
+then; a steady stream is worth an issue, since Cloudflare can rate-limit it. A snapshot whose
+`refused_private` is not 0 means an ipx server tried to send a feed that looks private: find which
+in that server's log, since the directory refuses it but the sender should not have sent it. Many
+`feed check failed` lines for one feed are the publisher's, not the directory's. Each feed is
+checked every six hours, 25 at a time, so `feeds checked` over a day should be about four times
+the feeds listed; none for over six hours means the refresher is stuck. `could not store a feed
+check` or `could not read which feeds are due` is its database (`ipx_directory` on the
+`databases` project's Postgres). A config that does not load (`config changed but does not
+load`) keeps the old tokens: worth fixing before someone's new token is needed.
+
+## Tower
+
+The three share Tower with everything else, so a slow or failing ipx can be the host. The node
+exporter (`job="node"`) has the history; twelve threads.
+
+```sh
+$Q prom 'max_over_time(node_load1{job="node"}[$range])' 24h
+$Q prom 'min_over_time(node_memory_MemAvailable_bytes{job="node"}[$range]) / 1e9' 24h
+$Q prom 'sum by (mode) (rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{job="node", mode=~"user|system|iowait"}[$range]))' 1h
+$Q prom 'max by (device) (rate(node_disk_io_time_seconds_total{job="node", device=~"nvme.*|md.*"}[$range]))' 1h
+```
+
+For when, step back with `offset`: `max_over_time(node_load1[10m] offset 60m)`. Load far above
+twelve with little CPU busy is processes waiting, on a disk or on the user shares: on 2026-10-12
+debug builds linking through `/mnt/user` (shfs, FUSE) took load to 248 with mostly system time and
+stalled everything on the shares, ipx's downloads included. Available memory near nothing makes
+it worse. Disk busy near 100% on `nvme1n1` is `/mnt/fast`, appdata and Postgres's data; on `md*`
+the array behind `/mnt/user`, the downloads. Say what was running at the time if you can tell
+(`docker stats --no-stream`); a host problem is the user's, not an ipx issue, unless ipx caused it.
+
+## The monitoring itself
+
+A quiet dashboard can be a dead exporter. Check what Prometheus scrapes and that each
+container's lines are reaching Loki:
+
+```sh
+curl -s http://192.168.1.130:9090/api/v1/targets | python3 -c 'import json,sys
+for t in json.load(sys.stdin)["data"]["activeTargets"]: print(t["health"], t["labels"]["job"], t["scrapeUrl"], t.get("lastError","")[:80])'
+for c in iPX ipx-web ipx-directory; do echo "$c $($Q metric "sum(count_over_time({container=\"$c\"} [1h]))" 1h | tail -1)"; done
+docker ps -a --filter label=com.docker.compose.project=monitoring --format '{{.Names}} {{.Status}}'
+```
+
+`ipx` and `node` should be `up`. Every monitoring container should be running; after Docker
+restarts, one can be left `Exited (255)` though its policy is `unless-stopped` (Prometheus, on
+2026-10-12, when Docker lost its exit during an overload): `docker start` it and say so. blocky
+and nut on 192.168.2.21 are another machine, not ipx's; leave them. A container with no lines in
+an hour while it runs means Alloy is not shipping it; Alloy can take a few minutes to pick up a
+container after a deploy.
+
+## Rules
+
 `docker logs` and `docker exec iPX ipx ...` are fine. Do not query production's Postgres
 directly: ask the user if a question needs the database.

 * `webServer` starts **before** `globalSetup`, which is why the fixture config is written at
   config-load time instead.
 
+The load tests (`tests/load`, issue #133) are for what one browser cannot show: twenty-five people
+browsing at once, a hundred players saving positions while a scan writes, fifty listeners
+seeking through files, a flood of wrong passwords. Things about them:
+
+* They need **k6**, which `/src/install.sh` installs from k6's own signed apt repository, and they
+  build and run a **release** binary: Argon2 in a debug build takes about a second a sign-in,
+  which would measure the build.
+* `run.js` serves the feeds itself, generated, and starts **its own daemon** under
+  `/tmp/ipx-load`, wiped each run, on ports 8793 and 8794, so it can run beside the browser suite.
+  It stops that daemon by its PID. People sign in by the `X-Load-User` header, trusted from
+  127.0.0.1, as production trusts Cloudflare Access's; only the sign-in test uses a password.
+* Each threshold is a budget well above what the request takes now: it is there to catch a query
+  that has started asking once per feed, or writers queueing on a lock, not a slow minute.
+* `ipx status`, the Docker healthcheck, runs every second throughout, and a run fails if one takes
+  the healthcheck's 5s.
+* One at a time: `node tests/load/run.js signin`. All four take about six minutes.
+* The daemon is on **SQLite** unless `--postgres`, which puts it in `IPX_TEST_DATABASE_URL`, in
+  a schema of its own (`ipx_load`) dropped and made again each run. That URL, in `/src/.envrc`, is
+  `ipodderx_test` on the `databases` project's server, production's, as `ipodderx`, taken from
+  `ipx.env`; the harness refuses a database whose name does not end in `_test`. Postgres's
+  numbers are what production would see, and a run loads the server production's database is on,
+  so not while someone is using iPX in earnest. Each budget has a value for each database.

+
+Cutting a release of one: first read its `[Unreleased]` against its last release, not line by
+line, and rewrite it as what changed between the two. Lines go in as the work happens, so they
+record the way there: a feature added and then reworked in the same release is one line saying
+what it is now, under Added; something added and taken out again before the release, or a fix for
+a bug no release ever had, is not there at all; and "instead of" and "no longer" compare with the
+last release, not with last week. Issue numbers stay, all of them, on the line that survives. Then
+rename `[Unreleased]` to `## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` and open a new empty `[Unreleased]` above it,
+set the service's version to `X.Y.Z` (dropping `-dev`), tag the commit with the service's tag, and
+update the compare links at the bottom of its changelog. Push the commit and the tag, build and
+deploy the service's image, then `sh scripts/release.sh ipx|directory|web` makes the Gitea
+release: that version's changelog section as its notes, and a tarball of what the image runs (the
+binary, or the page's files with the Caddyfile) attached, checked to be that version. Then, in the
+next commit, set its version
+to the next patch with `-dev` (after 0.9.0, `0.9.1-dev`), so a build between releases says so
+instead of claiming to be the last release. The release that follows can still be a minor or major
+one; `-dev` only says the work comes after `X.Y.Z`. A service never released is at `0.1.0-dev`,
+working towards its first release, `0.1.0`.
+
+**Traces first, logs second.** Anything that does work (a service, a handler, a job, a call to
+another service) gets spans, and passes `traceparent` on to whatever it calls, so one trace in
+Tempo follows a request or a job across ipx-web, ipx and the directory. A trace shows where the
+time went and what called what; a log line only that something happened. Log what a trace cannot
+carry: events worth counting on the dashboard, warnings and errors. A new service or route without
+traces is not finished.

+# Changelog: ipx-directory
+
+The directory of public podcasts that ipx servers share (docs/directory.md). ipx's changelog is
+[crates/ipx/CHANGELOG.md](../ipx/CHANGELOG.md), the page's [web/CHANGELOG.md](../../web/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+Its version is in `crates/directory/Cargo.toml`, and a release is tagged `directory-vX.Y.Z`.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-10-12
+
+### Added
+
+- Anyone can browse the directory in a web browser, read only: the most subscribed, categories, every feed A to Z, a search by name, and each feed's page with its latest items and its address to copy into any podcast app (#215).
+- `GET /v1/instances` lists the servers holding a snapshot, with their feeds and subscribers, for an admin token (#206).
+- `ipx-directory`, a directory of public podcasts that ipx servers share: each sends the public feeds its people subscribe to, and any server with a token browses them, each feed listed once it has been read. Tokens are in its config file, each read-only, read-write or admin, and revoked one at a time (#204, #205).
+- Traces: a span a request, joining the trace of the ipx server that called, and a trace a refresher round with a span a feed (#213).

+# Changelog: ipx
 
-All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+The daemon: the API, scans, downloads, DeadAir and the database. The page has its own changelog,
+[web/CHANGELOG.md](../../web/CHANGELOG.md), and the directory service its own,
+[crates/directory/CHANGELOG.md](../directory/CHANGELOG.md). Until 0.12.0 this was the changelog of
+all of ipx, the page included; they were split with the services (#207).
+
+Its version is in `crates/ipx/Cargo.toml`, and a release is tagged `vX.Y.Z`.
 
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-10-12
+
+### Added
+
+- With a directory token that may administer it, ipx's admins remove a feed from the directory (blocking it) or check it now, list and unblock what is blocked, and list and drop the servers sharing (#206).
+- ipx passes its trace on when it calls the directory, so a Directory page is one trace from the browser to the directory (#213).
+
+### Changed
+
+- The Directory comes from a directory service that iPX servers share, set up in Admin, Directory with its address and this server's token, instead of only this server's feeds. Sharing this server's public feeds with it is a setting, never a private one, and subscriber counts are every sharing server's. ipx sends the directory its feeds when they change, and every half hour (#205, #211).
+- A feed can be marked private, which keeps it out of the directory. A feed with a login, or whose address carries a key, is private already (#205).
+- ipx serves no page: the page is ipx-web's, which passes the API on to ipx, and ipx is built without node (#203).
+- `docker-compose.yml` is a sample to start from, ipx alone on SQLite with its folders beside the file, instead of a copy of the author's server (#208).
+- The source is a Cargo workspace: the daemon in `crates/ipx`, feed fetching and parsing in `crates/feed`. `cargo build --release` still makes `target/release/ipx` (#202).
+
+## [0.12.0] - 2026-10-11
+
+### Added
+
+- With `[web] metrics_bind` set, ipx serves Prometheus metrics on a port and thread of their own: the database pool, the worker's job and queue, jobs done and their time, scans, downloads and requests in progress, download speed, live-update listeners and missed updates, DeadAir's backlog, the artwork cache's fill, hit rate and evictions, memory, open files and the library's counts. (#194, #195, #198, #199).
+- The page reports its errors, the player's, how long play takes to start and how long it stalls to the server's log, and the requests one tap sets off share a trace, the playlist, audio and saved place of what it played included (#190, #192).
+- Saving an episode from a show with DeadAir on saves it without its dead air, at your breathing room (#186).
+- Choose the pause DeadAir leaves where it cuts a silence, from 0.2 to 0.5 seconds, for each show in its settings, as its breathing room, on a slider from brisk to relaxed. It is 0.3 seconds unless you change it, up from 0.2, which made speech sound rushed (#182, #183).
+
+### Changed
+
+- DeadAir no longer makes a shortened copy of each episode. It plays the original with its long silences left out, ready a few seconds after the download, with no gap where a silence was cut and no extra disk space; the copies already made are removed (#179, #181, #196).
+- DeadAir is in the same box as a show's download settings, below them, and stays there when automatic downloads are off (#185).
+- The container is built on Debian 13 (trixie) instead of 12, so DeadAir uses ffmpeg 7.1 instead of 5.1 (#177).
+- On Postgres, ipx keeps up to 20 connections to the database instead of 10, for the bursts of a page load asking for many covers at once (#200).
+- Traces of the disk sweep, episode lists and DeadAir's work on each file show each step, and the sweep's trace says what it removed (#187).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- All Subscriptions, and every item list, comes up faster, most of all the first time after a quiet spell: it took half a second to two (#188).
+- Checking for new episodes no longer waits up to 12 seconds each time on a clear-out of dead feeds from the Directory, which now runs once a day (#193).
+- A page left open no longer misses updates after a check for new episodes: the note that each feed not due was skipped, one per feed, filled the queue they share (#197).
+
+### Security
+
+- Cloudflare no longer keeps a copy of the audio you play, which it served to anyone it let in without checking they subscribe (#189).
+
+## [0.11.0] - 2026-10-09
+
+### Added
+
+- DeadAir: turn it on for a show in its settings, or with the button beside the speed while it plays, and its episodes play with long silences shortened, so podcasts finish sooner without sounding sped up. Your place carries over when you turn it on or off, each episode says how much shorter it is ("Cutting dead air…" until it is done), and Settings shows the time it has saved you. It is off for every show until you turn it on (#171, #172, #173, #174, #176).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A downloaded file's play, save, share and delete buttons stay on one row in the Files pane, instead of delete wrapping underneath (#175).
+- Cover art up to 20 MB is shown, instead of nothing for anything over 5 MB, as for five of the Glass Cannon Network's feeds.
+- Seeking in an episode while many people listen answers in about 10 ms instead of 40, and files stream about four times as fast: each connection now sends what is ready without waiting for the browser to acknowledge the last part.
+- Artwork that could not be fetched is not fetched again for an hour, instead of on every page load, and the server's log says which image it was and why.
+
+## [0.10.3] - 2026-10-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- Swiping past the last item shows the theme's accent colour, without the words "No more items".
+- An empty list and the reader with nothing picked say nothing, instead of "Nothing here yet — try Scan now." and "Pick an item to read it."; a search that finds nothing still says so.
+- In Settings, the API tokens sit in a box of their own.
+- A feed's settings are redesigned: downloading on its own is a switch with what depends on it beneath, how many is Default, Newest or All shown on a strip of the show's own episodes, words to pick or hide are chips, the feed's address is at the top with a copy button, and Save is always in reach. Its folder and Directory category are no longer in it.
+- The feed list's traces show each of its database queries, so it can be told where its time goes.
+- Saving a feed's settings asks the database for your subscription once, not twice.
+- `ipx add` and Add feed in the page add a feed the same way, through one piece of code.
+- A pinned item or feed's pin button is filled with the theme's accent, in the reader, on the feed's page and in the toolbar, so pinned no longer looks like not pinned.
+- A feed's page in the Directory says how many people here subscribe only when someone does, without "Nobody here subscribes yet".
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The unread counts catch up when you come back to the page: an item read on another device, or while the phone app was in the background, no longer stays counted as unread until a reload.
+- A feed set to download 0 of its newest items downloads all of them, the whole back catalogue, as the server's 0 does; it downloaded nothing.
+- The feed list loads faster: it counts the items and files of your own feeds, not of every feed on the server, and asks for a group's title once, not once for every feed in it.
+- Downloading or deleting a file the server no longer has answers "not found" instead of a server error.
+- A feed's page in the Directory, and subscribing from it, no longer wait while the whole Directory is put together to check that the one feed is in it.
+- An episode that came as a torrent of several files plays its largest file, and can be deleted, by hand or to free space, instead of staying on disk for good.
+- Removing an account takes the feeds only that person read off the server, as unsubscribing does, instead of leaving them downloading every new episode for no one.
+- Freeing disk space counts only the people who subscribe to a feed: an episode is no longer taken as heard by everyone because someone who has since unsubscribed heard it, and their pins no longer keep files for good.
+- An episode whose file turns out to be a torrent shows as downloaded once it is, instead of being fetched again on every check of its feed, and no longer holds up the checking of other feeds while it downloads and seeds.
+- Downloading the latest 65 to 100 items of a feed queues them at once, instead of hanging until most had downloaded and holding up adding feeds and Refresh meanwhile.
+- Changes to the feed list made at the same moment, such as two people adding feeds, or a feed added while the server settings change, no longer undo one another.
+- A download that stops partway is given up after two minutes without data, instead of holding up every scan and download until a restart.
+- On a phone, the closed feed list no longer shades the left edge of the page with its shadow.
+- On an iPhone, the top bar's colour runs all the way up behind the status bar and the Dynamic Island, with no band of another colour above it. In Glass the bar is solid on a phone, in the colour its glass showed.
+- A feed's buttons stay on one row on a narrow phone, and the reader's buttons stay together instead of breaking across lines under a long feed name.
+- A moment's DNS failure no longer marks a feed as failing for a day or calls it gone: iPX tries it again in ten minutes. One failed lookup one morning left 205 podcasts unread, uncategorised and labelled gone until the next day. A name that does not resolve is said to be maybe gone, and only once it has been failing a day, on its Directory page as on its own.
+
+## [0.10.2] - 2026-10-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A publisher's correction to an item already in iPX, a retitled episode, mended text, new artwork or a fixed length, arrives on the next read. Since 0.9.1 an item kept what it first said: Ain't It Cool News's items each showed the text of the one before, long after the feed was fixed.
+- A feed's page in the Directory says when the feed is failing, and why, and no longer says nobody here subscribes to a feed someone does.
+
+## [0.10.1] - 2026-10-05
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A feed whose address answers with nothing, as a lapsed domain does behind a DNS filter's block page, shows as failing, with what to do about it, instead of as a show that has not posted yet.
+- The search box finds episodes in Currently Listening. It did nothing there.
+- `ipx add`, `ipx rm` and `ipx import`, run while the daemon runs, reach it at once. It kept its old list of feeds and wrote it back at its next change, undoing them.
+- On SQLite, several requests are answered at once instead of one at a time. With 25 people browsing, a page of a feed's items comes back in 10ms rather than 130.
+- On Postgres, a write no longer waits for the database server's disk. A scan read about one feed a second and now reads 1,500 in 20 seconds.
+- Checking every feed no longer makes every icon in the feed list flash while it runs: the list keeps the icons it has already drawn.
+
+### Security
+
+- A flood of sign-in attempts no longer stalls the site for everyone else. Passwords are checked a few at a time, away from the threads that answer every other request; forty wrong passwords at a time made everything else take four seconds.
+- A wrong password is refused in the same time whether or not the name is an account here, so how long it takes no longer tells anyone which names are.

 ### Changed
 
 - The start-up line about the web UI being reachable off the machine says what guards it, and is a warning only when there is no Cloudflare Access in front of it.

-- Adding an address checks it first: a feed is added, a web page adds the feed it links, and anything else is refused with the reason, instead of being added and failing on every check.
 - A feed that was failing when its last subscriber left is forgotten, rather than kept with its error for good. One that worked, or has files on disk, is kept as before.
 - A feed that keeps failing is checked less and less often, waiting as long as it has been failing, up to once a day; it goes back to its schedule as soon as it works. Refreshing it still checks it at once.
-- A scan's trace shows the time a feed spends on its artwork and in the database after the fetch.

 - A limit on new downloads per check means a show's newest episodes: with it set to 3, ipx no longer works back through the show's history three at a time. Set to 0, it still takes the whole back catalogue.

 - The feed list loads several times faster: it was asking the database six questions per feed.
 - Artwork a feed offers only over plain http shows on the https site too.
 - A failing feed is easy to spot in any theme: a mark on its artwork, what is wrong in place of

 ### Changed
 
-- Global settings and scan schedules are admin-only. The per-feed schedule picker is gone.
 - Feeds from an OPML live in the database, not `config.toml`.
-- Opening an item marks it read. Playing it marks it read only at the end or past 90%.

-- A burst of scan events causes one refresh, not one per feed.
-- All is the default filter. OPML import and export, Settings and Log moved out of the header.
 - Torrents run detached, two at a time.
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- Download fetched the next queued episodes instead of the one clicked.
-- Pressing play made an item vanish from the Unread list.
-- Clearing a folder, schedule or cap from the UI did nothing.
 - The daemon ignored SIGTERM until the current download finished.

+//! DeadAir (issue #171): podcasts play with their long silences shortened, so they finish
+//! sooner without sounding sped up.
+//!
+//! Nothing is copied (#181). DeadAir finds a file's silences once, in the background, and keeps a
+//! `Plan` for each pause length a person can choose (#182): the frames kept, as byte ranges of
+//! the original. The player gets an HLS playlist of those ranges (`playlist`), which Safari plays
+//! itself and other browsers through hls.js, with no gap at the cuts. Seeking past each silence
+//! instead left about 1.3 s of nothing at every one (#178); a copy made with ffmpeg cost as much
+//! disk again as the original and could only have one pause length.
+//!
+//! Positions stay in the original's time. What a plan leaves out is stored as `Cut`s of the
+//! original's time, and the server converts both ways (`to_copy`, `to_original`): the iOS and
+//! Android apps save positions themselves, from their own player, so converting in the page
+//! would miss them.

-One binary, `ipx`. `ipx daemon` runs three things in one process: a scheduler, a Unix-socket
-control server, and the web UI. Everything else is a CLI that either does the work itself or hands
-it to a running daemon.
+Three services, each a container of its own with its own version and changelog (#207):
+
+| Service | What it is | Source | Image |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| ipx-web | Caddy: serves the page, a static site built from `web/`, and passes `/api` and `/media` to ipx on the same address. It asks ipx before it serves the app or the admin page (`/api/page-check`) | `web/`, `web/Caddyfile` | `Dockerfile.web` |
+| ipx | The daemon and CLI, one binary. `ipx daemon` runs a scheduler, a Unix-socket control server and the HTTP API in one process; everything else is a CLI that either does the work itself or hands it to a running daemon | `crates/ipx` | `Dockerfile` |
+| ipx-directory | The directory of public podcasts that ipx servers share. ipx asks it on its people's behalf; the page never talks to it ([directory.md](directory.md)) | `crates/directory` | `Dockerfile.directory` |
+
+The Rust source is a Cargo workspace (#202); `crates/feed` (`ipx-feed`) fetches and parses feeds
+for both Rust services. Versions: ipx's in `crates/ipx/Cargo.toml`, the directory's in
+`crates/directory/Cargo.toml`, the page's in `package.json`; CLAUDE.md has the release steps.
+
+## Traces and logs
+
+A request is one trace (#213). The page starts one for each tap and sends `traceparent` with its
+requests (#190); Caddy's span continues it and passes it on to ipx; ipx's request span, its steps
+and its calls to the directory follow, and the directory's request span joins it. Scans,
+downloads, DeadAir's work, shares with the directory and the directory's refresher rounds are
+traces of their own. All three log one JSON object a line, for Loki; ipx's lines carry their trace
+id, and Caddy's request lines theirs. ipx also serves Prometheus metrics (`[web] metrics_bind`,
+#194). The exporter and the `traceparent` handling both Rust services use are in
+`crates/directory/src/otel.rs`.

+# The directory
+
+`ipx-directory` is a catalogue of public podcasts and blogs that ipx servers share (#204). An ipx
+server sends it the public feeds its people subscribe to, and how many of them do. The directory
+fetches each feed's title, artwork, category, description and latest twenty items every six hours,
+and any server holding a token can browse it. It never downloads a file, and it never stores
+one's address: every ipx server still fetches its own feeds.
+
+This server's is at `https://directory.ipxreader.app` (until 2026-10-12 `ipx-dir.sdf1.net`, #214), the `ipx-directory` service of the Arcane project
+`ipx`, with its database `ipx_directory` on the `databases` project's Postgres.
+
+## In ipx
+
+An admin sets it up in **Admin, Directory**: the directory's address, the token its operator gave
+this server, and whether to share. ipx asks the directory on its people's behalf, so the page never
+talks to it and never sees the token or a feed's address. With no directory set up, the Directory
+says so and feeds are added by their address.
+
+ipx keeps the address and token with its other server settings, in its database (`settings`,
+`directory_url` and `directory_token`), not in config.toml. The token is written, never shown
+again: the tab says it is set and offers to clear it. To replace one, make a new token on the
+directory, paste it over the old, then delete the old token's entry from the directory's config.
+
+With sharing on, ipx sends its snapshot when what it would send has changed (checked after every
+scan, and whenever the catalogue or these settings change), and every half hour regardless (#211): each feed checked at least once, with how many people here subscribe,
+and the category an admin gave a feed that names none. It never sends an OPML or a Patreon creator
+itself (their feeds go instead), or a private feed. A feed's settings have a **Private** switch for
+a paid feed iPX does not recognise by its address; anyone subscribed may turn it on, and only an
+admin off.
+
+When this server's token is `rwa`, its admins administer the directory from iPX (#206). A feed's
+page in the Directory has **Check now** and **Remove from the directory**, which blocks it so no
+server's snapshot brings it back. Admin, Directory lists the **Servers** sharing, by token name,
+with how many feeds and subscribers each gave, and **Blocked**, by title, with Unblock. Dropping a
+server's snapshot takes its feeds and counts out until it next shares; to keep a server out,
+revoke its token. An admin's own subscriptions open as their feeds, not as Directory pages, so
+removing one of those is done by marking it private, or from another admin's account.
+
+## In a web browser
+
+Anyone may browse it at its address, no token and no sign-in (#215): the most subscribed, the
+categories, every feed A to Z, a search by name, and a page for each feed with its description,
+its latest items and its address, with a Copy button, to subscribe to in any podcast app or feed
+reader. The pages only read: nothing in them changes the directory. They are rendered by the
+directory itself from what the API serves, with the publisher's HTML shown as text, an item's link
+only when it is http(s), and a Content-Security-Policy that allows the site's own script and
+stylesheet and the covers, which load from their publishers. `/v1` is the API and still needs a
+token for everything.
+
+## Tokens

+name and one of three levels of access:
+
+| | browse | send snapshots | remove, block, refresh feeds; drop a server's snapshot |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `ro` | yes | | |
+| `rw` | yes | yes | |
+| `rwa` | yes | yes | yes |
+
+Tokens are in the config file and nowhere else, and no level of access can make or revoke one
+over the API. To make one:
+
+```sh
+docker exec ipx-directory ipx-directory token new <name> --access ro|rw|rwa
+```
+
+It prints the token, to give to whoever it is for, and the lines to add to the config file. The file
+holds the token's SHA-256, never the token. The directory reads the file again within a minute of
+a change, so adding a token and revoking one (deleting its entry) need no restart. A revoked token
+also takes the counts its server sent. A file that does not load (a misspelled `access`, two tokens
+with one name) leaves the tokens as they were, and the log says why.
+
+## The config file
+
+`/config/directory.toml` in the container (`DIRECTORY_CONFIG`, or `--config`), on Tower
+`/mnt/fast/appdata/ipx-directory/directory.toml`:
+
+```toml
+bind = "0.0.0.0:8100"
+# The environment variable holding the database URL: postgres://... or sqlite://...
+database_url_env = "DIRECTORY_DATABASE_URL"
+
+[[tokens]]
+name = "tower"
+access = "rwa"
+token_sha256 = "…"
+```
+
+`DIRECTORY_LOG_FORMAT=json` logs one JSON object a line, for Loki, as ipx's `IPX_LOG_FORMAT` does.
+Each request is a line with its `method`, `path`, `status`, `duration_ms` and the `token`'s name.
+
+With `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` set (`http://host:4318`, OTLP over HTTP), it sends traces: a
+span a request, a child of the caller's when the request carries a `traceparent`, as ipx's do, and
+a trace a refresher round with a span a feed (#213). `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES` tags them, as
+production does with `deployment.environment.name=production`. Its version is in
+`crates/directory/Cargo.toml`, logged at start and answered by `ipx-directory --version`; its
+changelog is `crates/directory/CHANGELOG.md`.
+
+## Running one
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  ipx-directory:
+    image: ipx-directory          # docker build -f Dockerfile.directory -t ipx-directory .
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    environment:
+      DIRECTORY_DATABASE_URL: "postgres://ipx_directory:password@db-host:5432/ipx_directory"
+    ports:
+      - "8100:8100"
+    volumes:
+      - ./directory:/config:ro    # directory.toml
+    healthcheck:
+      test: ["CMD", "ipx-directory", "health"]
+```
+
+## What it will not hold
+
+A private feed is never meant to reach it. ipx leaves out a feed marked private, one with a
+username or password, and one whose address `ipx_feed::url_looks_private` catches: a paid-feed
+host, or a key in the query. The directory checks every address it is sent with the same function
+and refuses what it catches, so one server's miss does not publish someone's paid feed to every
+other. What both miss, an `rwa` token can remove: `DELETE /v1/feeds/{id}` removes the feed and
+blocks it, so no snapshot brings it back.
+
+## API
+
+| Route | Access | |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /healthz` | none | `ok` when it can read its database |
+| `GET /v1/me` | ro | the token's `name` and `access` |
+| `GET /v1/feeds` | ro | every feed A to Z: `id`, `url`, `title`, `image`, `category`, `subcategory`, `podcast`, `subscribers` |
+| `GET /v1/popular?limit=10` | ro | the most subscribed, at most 100 |
+| `GET /v1/feeds/{id}` | ro | one feed, with `description`, `failing` (why its last check failed, in words) and its latest twenty `items` (`guid`, `title`, `link`, `published`, `duration`, `description`), never their files |
+| `POST /v1/snapshot` | rw | `[{"url", "subscribers"}]`, at most 20,000: replaces everything this token sent before; answers what it `accepted` and how many it refused as private, blocked or invalid |
+| `DELETE /v1/feeds/{id}` | rwa | remove and block |
+| `GET /v1/blocked`, `DELETE /v1/blocked/{id}` | rwa | what is blocked; unblock |
+| `GET /v1/instances` | rwa | each token holding a snapshot: its `name`, `feeds` and `subscribers` |
+| `DELETE /v1/instances/{name}` | rwa | drop one token's snapshot, its counts with it |
+| `POST /v1/feeds/{id}/refresh` | rwa | fetch the feed now, answering with its page |
+
+A feed's `id` is the first 64 bits of the SHA-256 of its address, normalised (scheme and host in
+lower case, no default port or fragment), so every server arrives at the same id. `subscribers`
+is the sum over every token's latest snapshot. A feed is listed once the directory has read it as
+a feed, so an OPML or an address that never worked is not, and goes when no snapshot has it any more. Descriptions
+are the feed's own HTML, unsanitized: whoever shows them sanitizes them, as ipx does.

+# Changelog: ipx-web
+
+The page, and the container that serves it (Caddy). ipx's changelog is
+[crates/ipx/CHANGELOG.md](../crates/ipx/CHANGELOG.md), which was the page's too until 0.12.0, and the
+directory's [crates/directory/CHANGELOG.md](../crates/directory/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+Its version is in `package.json`, and a release is tagged `web-vX.Y.Z`.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-10-12
+
+### Added
+
+- With a directory token that may administer it, an admin has Check now and Remove from the directory on a Directory feed's page, and Servers and Blocked lists in Admin, Directory (#206).
+- The page has a version of its own, which the logo's tooltip shows beside ipx's (#207).
+- The page is served by its own container, ipx-web (Caddy), which passes the API to ipx on the same address, so a change to the page deploys without rebuilding ipx (#203).
+- Admin, Directory sets the directory's address and this server's token, and whether to share, and says how the last share went (#205).
+- A feed's settings have a Private switch, which keeps it out of the directory; on and locked for a feed whose address or login shows it is private (#205).
+- ipx-web logs one line a request, without the request's headers or a sign-in token in the address (#210).
+- ipx-web sends a trace span for each request when `WEB_TRACING=on`, continuing the page's trace into ipx (#213).

+- The Directory says when no directory is set up, and its counts are of everyone on every sharing server (#205).
+- Add a feed no longer asks for a folder; a feed's folder is its title (#201).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- On a phone, the Subscribe button on a Directory feed's page is full size again, not squashed to a sliver (#212).
