+name: ipx-prod-check
+description: Look for problems in production ipx (the iPX container on Tower) from its logs in Loki, its traces in Tempo and its metrics in Prometheus, and file what is found as Gitea issues. Use when asked to check on production, look for issues or errors in ipx, see why something is slow or failing in production, review the logs, or investigate a report about the live site.
+---
+
+# 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:
+
+```sh
+Q=.claude/skills/ipx-prod-check/query.py
+$Q logs    '<LogQL>'           [since]   # lines, newest first (500 at most)
+$Q metric  '<LogQL metric>'    [since]   # $range becomes `since`
+$Q traces  '<TraceQL>'         [since]   # slowest first
+$Q trace   <trace id>                    # one trace as a tree, with its log lines
+$Q prom    '<PromQL>'          [since]   # Prometheus, now; $range becomes `since`
+```
+
+`since` is `30m`, `1h`, `24h`, `7d`. Default to `24h`; widen it to see whether something is new.
+"Since the last deploy" is since the container started:
+
+```sh
+S=$(docker inspect iPX -f '{{.State.StartedAt}}'); echo $(( ($(date +%s) - $(date -d "$S" +%s)) / 60 + 1 ))m
+```
+
+## What the log carries
+
+Every line has `timestamp`, `level`, `message` and `target`; lines inside a span have `span` (the
+innermost: `{"name":"feed","feed":"x"}`). Loki's `| json` flattens it to `span_name`, `span_feed`.
+Lines inside a traced span, requests and scans, also carry `trace_id` and `span_id`: give the
+`trace_id` to `$Q trace` to see the whole request or scan. (From 2026-09-29 16:30 UTC; before that,
+lines had no trace id, the access log's time was `ms`, and each event was logged twice, words under
+`ipx::scan` and fields under `ipx::io`.)
+
+| target | fields | what |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ipx::http` | `method`, `path`, `route`, `status`, `duration_ms` | one per web request; `route` is the pattern, empty for an unrouted path |
+| `ipx::scan` | `ev` and the event's own: `feed`, `new`, `downloaded`, `failed`, `bytes`, `msg`, `url`, `feeds`, `reason`, `from`, `to`; on a failure `error.type` and, from an HTTP error, `http.response.status_code` | the daemon's events, one line each, in words; warnings are feed and download failures |
+| `ipx::io` | `ev`, `feeds`, `pending`, `downloaded` on the `status` reply | commands arriving (`-> {...}`) and the healthcheck's answer |
+| `ipx` | message, sometimes fields | start-up, shutdown, account and config messages |
+| `ipx::client` | `ev`, `user`, `feed`, `enclosure`, `deadair`; `msg`, `src`, `line` on an error; `ms` on a timing | what the page reports from the browser (#190): `page_error`, `rejection` and `player_error` as warnings; `play_start` (ms from play to sound) and `stall` (ms waiting mid-play) as info. Lines carry the trace of the action in the page: its API requests send `traceparent`, one trace id per tap or key |
+
+Events (`ev`): `feed_start`, `feed_done` (new, downloaded, failed, torrents), `feed_skip` (not due,
+routine), `feed_error` (msg), `feed_moved` (from, to: a permanent redirect followed, the address
+updated), `download_done` (bytes), `download_error` (msg, url),
+`torrent_deferred`, `reaped`, `scan_done` (feeds checked), `reap_done`, `status` (feeds, pending,
+downloaded: the healthcheck's, every 30s), `deadair_done` (feed, enclosure, `saved_s` at the
+default pause), `error` (msg). DeadAir also logs `DeadAir found the silences` (`cuts`, `saved_s`,
+`took_ms`) under `ipx::deadair`, and warns `DeadAir could not read a file` when ffmpeg fails on
+one, which it then passes over until the next restart.
+
+`error.type` is the HTTP status (`404`, `503`) or one of `dns`, `redirect_loop`, `timeout`, `tls`,
+`not_a_feed`, `site_message`, `connect`, `parse`, `other`; Loki's `| json` names it `error_type`.
+
+Filter on the text before `| json` where you can (`|= "\"ev\":\"feed_error\""`): it is much
+cheaper than parsing every line. Lines before 2026-09-29 14:00 UTC are text, not JSON, and
+`| json | __error__=""` drops them.
+
+## 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_process_resident_bytes`, `ipx_process_open_fds` | memory and open files and sockets |
+| `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_last_scan_age_seconds` | since a scan last finished; absent until one has since starting |
+| `ipx_http_requests_in_flight`, `ipx_scan_feeds_fetching`, `ipx_downloads_active` | work in progress |
+| `ipx_download_bytes_total` | counter; `rate()` is the download speed |
+| `ipx_event_queue`, `ipx_events_missed_total` | live updates unread by some listener; counter of those dropped for one that fell behind |
+| `ipx_deadair_backlog`, `ipx_deadair_busy_seconds` | files of shows with DeadAir on not yet looked at (episodes everyone heard through stay counted); how long it has been on its file |
+| `ipx_feed_retries` | feeds waiting to retry a failed name lookup |
+| `ipx_art_cache_bytes`, `ipx_art_cache_limit_bytes` | artwork kept, as of the last sweep, and the most kept: kept sits at the limit by design |
+| `ipx_art_evicted_total`, `ipx_art_requests_total{result="hit"\|"miss"}` | counters: images the sweep threw out to stay under the limit, and artwork served from disk or fetched from the publisher; many evicted at every sweep with a falling hit rate means the limit is too small |
+| `ipx_feeds`, `ipx_downloads_pending`, `ipx_files_downloaded` | the library, as the healthcheck last counted it (every 30 s) |
+
+## The checks
+
+Run these, then read the lines behind whatever stands out. Most of the time is in the reading:
+a count says something happened, the lines and traces say why.
+
+1. **Warnings and errors, grouped.** What went wrong, how often, and since when.
+   ```
+   $Q metric 'sum by (target, message) (count_over_time({container="iPX"} | json | __error__="" | level=~"WARN|ERROR" [$range]))'
+   ```
+   Feed and download failures name the feed in the message; group them in the next check instead.
+2. **Failing feeds and downloads.**
+   ```
+   $Q metric 'sum by (feed, error_type) (count_over_time({container="iPX"} |= "\"ev\":\"feed_error\"" | json | __error__="" [$range]))' 7d
+   $Q metric 'sum by (feed, error_type) (count_over_time({container="iPX"} |= "\"ev\":\"download_error\"" | json | __error__="" [$range]))' 7d
+   ```
+   Tell the publisher's problems from ipx's. A 404, 410, DNS failure or 503 from the feed's own
+   server is the publisher (worth saying, since the feed may have moved; one issue for a feed
+   that has been dead for days, not for a 503 once). A parse error on a feed that loads in a
+   browser, a redirect loop ipx should follow, or the same failure on many feeds at once is ipx.
+3. **Server errors and slow requests.**
+   ```
+   $Q metric 'sum by (method, route, status) (count_over_time({container="iPX"} |= "\"target\":\"ipx::http\"" | json | __error__="" | status >= 500 [$range]))'
+   $Q metric 'topk(10, quantile_over_time(0.95, {container="iPX"} |= "\"target\":\"ipx::http\"" | json | __error__="" | route != "" | route != "/api/events" | unwrap duration_ms [$range]) by (method, route))'
+   ```
+   Any 5xx is worth a look. 401s are people signing in, not a problem unless one address is
+   hammering. For a slow route, find its traces (check 5) and see which span holds the time.
+4. **Is the worker keeping up?** Scans should finish regularly, the queue should drain, and the
+   daemon should not be restarting on its own.
+   ```
+   $Q metric 'sum(count_over_time({container="iPX"} |= "\"ev\":\"scan_done\"" [$range]))' 6h
+   $Q logs '{container="iPX"} |= "\"ev\":\"status\"" | json | line_format "{{.timestamp}} pending={{.pending}} downloaded={{.downloaded}}"' 6h
+   $Q logs '{container="iPX"} |= "daemon started"' 7d
+   ```
+   A `daemon started` not matched by a deploy (see `git log` and the image's build time) is a
+   crash or an OOM kill: check `docker inspect iPX -f '{{.State.OOMKilled}} {{.RestartCount}}'`
+   and the lines just before it. A pending count that only grows means downloads are not
+   keeping up or not running.
+
+   Since 2026-10-02 the daemon sleeps until the next feed is due (at most 10 minutes) instead of
+   scanning every minute (#114), so expect tens of scans in 6 hours, not 360, nearly all with
+   `feeds` above 0; none at all for over 10 minutes means the worker is stuck. And `pending` is
+   the real queue (#113): files a scan will download on its own. Back-catalogue files are
+   `held`, listed but not counted, so it is usually 0 or a handful.
+5. **Slow and failed traces.**
+   ```
+   $Q traces '{resource.deployment.environment.name="production" && duration > 5s}'
+   $Q traces '{resource.deployment.environment.name="production" && status = error}'
+   $Q trace <id>
+   ```
+   Scans (`scan`) are long by nature, since they fetch many feeds one after another: look for one
+   `feed` or `fetch` span holding most of it, or a `download` far slower than its size explains.
+   A web request over a second is worth a look; the trace shows whether the time is in the
+   handler or a scan it waited on.
+
+   Steps are `step` spans named by `of` (#187): an item list's `entries_in`, `sanitize`,
+   `deadair`, `count_in`; the feed list's `catalogue`, `feed_list` and its queries; a `reap`'s
+   `missing_files`, `prune_abandoned_failures`, `reap_candidates`, `clean_directory` (once a day
+   since #193, so a reap is about a second), `trim_artwork`, with what it removed on the `reap`
+   span. DeadAir's work on a file is a `deadair` trace (feed, enclosure, cuts) with `probe`,
+   `silencedetect`, `frame_bytes`, `store_plans`: seconds each, more is a file ffmpeg struggles
+   with. A trace with no name in `$Q traces` started in the page (#190, #192): its root is the tap
+   in the browser, which sends no span, so it holds the requests that tap made (API calls, the
+   playlist and audio of a play, position saves, the page's own report) side by side.
+
+6. **The daemon's state, from Prometheus.** Pressure and leaks that requests and traces only
+   hint at.
+   ```
+   $Q prom 'up{job="ipx"}'
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_db_connections{job="ipx",state="in_use"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_db_connections_max{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_worker_queue{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_runtime_queue{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(resets(ipx_uptime_seconds{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'ipx_process_resident_bytes{job="ipx"} - ipx_process_resident_bytes{job="ipx"} offset $range' 24h
+   $Q prom 'ipx_process_open_fds{job="ipx"} - ipx_process_open_fds{job="ipx"} offset $range' 24h
+   $Q prom 'ipx_runtime_tasks{job="ipx"} - ipx_runtime_tasks{job="ipx"} offset $range' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_worker_job_seconds{job="ipx"}[$range])) by (kind)' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_last_scan_age_seconds{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'sum by (kind) (increase(ipx_job_seconds_total{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_http_requests_in_flight{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'sum(increase(ipx_events_missed_total{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   $Q prom 'max(max_over_time(ipx_deadair_busy_seconds{job="ipx"}[$range]))' 24h
+   ```
+   `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
+   $Q logs '{container="iPX"} |= "\"target\":\"ipx::client\"" | json | ev=~"play_start|stall" | line_format "{{.timestamp}} {{.user}} {{.ev}} {{.ms}}ms deadair={{.deadair}} {{.feed}}"' 24h
+   ```
+   A `player_error` is playback that failed in front of someone: `hls.js: ...` is DeadAir's
+   playlist (its trace has the playlist and audio requests), `media error 4` a file the browser
+   cannot play. A `page_error` or `rejection` is a bug in the page; `src` and `line` point into
+   the minified `app.js`, so match the message to `web/src`. `play_start` over 2000 ms, or a
+   `stall`, is worth a trace: was it the server, Cloudflare, or the network.
+
+Also check the container itself, since Loki cannot see a daemon that is not running:
+
+```sh
+docker ps --filter name=iPX --format '{{.Status}}'
+docker logs --since 10m iPX 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+`docker logs` and `docker exec iPX ipx ...` are fine. Do not query production's Postgres
+directly: ask the user if a question needs the database.
+
+## What to do with what you find
+
+Follow the repository's rules in CLAUDE.md: **every problem found gets a Gitea issue**, with a
+closed stdin and a timeout on `tea`. Before filing, list the open issues and do not file one
+twice; comment on the existing issue with the new evidence instead.
+
+```sh
+R="--login git.sdf1.net --repo rays/ipx"
+t() { timeout 30 /src/tea "$@" < /dev/null; }
+t issues list $R --state open
+t issues create $R -t "<what is wrong, as the user would notice it>" -L bug -d "<what, where, since when, how often, the query or trace id that shows it>"
+```
+
+Put in each issue what would let someone pick it up cold: the LogQL or TraceQL that shows it, a
+trace id, the first time it was seen and how often. A publisher's dead feed is worth one issue
+saying so (the user may want to unsubscribe or find its new address); a single 503 is not.
+
+Finish with a short report to the user: what is healthy, what is wrong (with the issue numbers),
+and anything you could not tell from logs and traces alone. Do not fix things unless asked; the
+check is for finding them.
+
+## When the checks come back empty
+
+Check that there is data before concluding all is well: `$Q metric 'sum(count_over_time({container="iPX"} [1h]))' 1h`
+should be in the hundreds or more. Nothing at all means Alloy is not shipping (it can take a few
+minutes to pick up a container after a deploy), or the container is down.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [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. The iPX dashboard graphs them in a Daemon row (#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.
+
+## [0.10.0] - 2026-10-05
+
+### Added
+
+- API tokens: in Settings, make a named token that lets a script or an agent use iPX as you, sent as `Authorization: Bearer`, and revoke it there. Each shows when it was last used.
+- In the Directory, a feed you do not subscribe to opens a page of its own: its cover, its category, how many people here subscribe, what the feed says it is, and its latest episodes or posts, with a button to subscribe. Before, only its subscribe button did anything.
+- Feeds that don't set a category, as most blogs don't, now get one automatically, so they show up under a category in the Directory. iPX picks the closest of Apple's podcast categories from the feed's title and latest headlines. This happens once per feed: the first time a new feed is read, or for a feed you already had, the next time you force a refresh. It needs `TYPESAFE_KEY` set. An admin can change the category in the feed's settings.
+- Artwork is kept on disk once shown and loads from iPX, not from each publisher's server: fast after the first time, and still there when the publisher's server is not. The admin page sets how much is kept (500 MB by default).
+- `ipx add --list --category News <url>` puts a feed in the Directory for anyone to subscribe to,
+  and it stays there when its last subscriber leaves. Run for a feed already in the catalogue,
+  it lists it or sets its category.
+- Feeds nobody subscribes to that are dead for a month or quiet for a year are removed, so the
+  Directory lists feeds worth taking.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The Directory is laid out as Apple's is. It opens on the ten most subscribed feeds, ranked, and the categories as tiles showing some of their shows' covers. A category opens a page of its own with its most subscribed feeds, its subcategories (Tech News under News, Video Games under Leisure) and its feeds; See all lists every one, A to Z, Z to A or by most subscribers. This replaces the grid of every feed under rows of category buttons, and Popular, which is gone from the feed list with its key, g p.
+- A pinned item in a list wears the same disc as a pinned feed, in the theme's accent, instead of a plain solid pin.
+- An item published without a title shows its opening words, in plain text rather than bold, instead of "(untitled)"; one with no text either shows its file's name, or its show and date. Opened, it starts with its text.
+- A feed that has moved for good (a permanent redirect) is followed to its new address, which iPX then reads from, and says so in the log as `feed_moved`. A temporary redirect changes nothing.
+- The daemon sleeps until the next feed is due, at most ten minutes, instead of looking every minute; refreshing or adding a feed still wakes it at once.
+- A pinned feed's pin sits on the corner of its artwork, as a failing feed's mark does, instead of before its name.
+- The Directory lists feeds nobody subscribes to yet; its most subscribed still lists what people subscribe to.
+  A feed nobody subscribes to is checked once a day, and at once when someone subscribes. A
+  listed feed downloads nothing until someone subscribes.
+- The Directory loads faster: it asked the database three questions per feed.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A database on SQLite, the default, no longer waits for the disk after nearly every write. On a slow disk a scan of 1,500 feeds took most of an hour and now takes half a minute. Postgres is unaffected.
+- The search box finds a feed in the Directory by name. It did nothing there.
+- Feeds that file themselves under Apple's Football or Soccer show under Sports, and those under the old Software How-To under Technology, instead of as categories of their own.
+- The download queue, in `ipx status`, `/api/status` and the dashboard, counts only what iPX will download on its own: older episodes beyond a show's limit, and files of feeds that do not download automatically, are listed but no longer counted as waiting.
+- Artwork published on http is stored on https when its host serves it there, so the page loads it directly; the rest still comes through iPX.
+- An iPhone adding the site to its home screen finds the icon at the first address it tries.
+- A feed whose server hangs no longer holds up every scan: a feed gets 30 seconds, and connecting anywhere 10.
+
+### Security
+
+- A feed's items and files reach only the people who subscribe to it. Anyone signed in could read any feed's items, a paid feed's included, with the addresses of its files, which can carry the subscriber's key, and could play, download or delete its files.
+
+## [0.9.1] - 2026-09-29
+
+### Added
+
+- `IPX_LOG_FORMAT=json` logs one JSON object a line, for Loki and the like: a request's method,
+  route, status and `duration_ms`, a scan's or download's details, a failure's kind in `error.type`
+  (and its HTTP status in `http.response.status_code`), and each line's `trace_id` and `span_id`.
+- A Grafana dashboard for iPX, from its log in Loki and its traces in Tempo (`grafana/dashboard.py`).
+- With `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` set, the daemon sends traces of its scans, downloads and web
+  requests to a collector such as Tempo; a scan's shows the time each feed spends fetching, on its
+  artwork and in the database.
+- A feed with no artwork of its own, or whose artwork is missing, shows its website's icon, or the
+  site's `/favicon.ico`, and follows the site when it changes. It is asked for again only when the
+  artwork changes or you refresh the feed.
+- The refresh button turns while its feed is being checked, and the check-every-feed buttons
+  while any of yours is.
+- Adding a website's address, with or without `https://`, subscribes to the feed that site links.
+  An address is checked before it is added, and anything that is neither a feed nor a page linking
+  one is refused with the reason, instead of being added and failing on every check.
+- `/api/status` gives the number of feeds, items waiting to download and files downloaded, and
+  the version, for a dashboard such as Homepage.
+
+### 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.
+- The feed list updates just the feed that changed, as a scan checks it or you read an item, instead of reloading the whole list every minute.
+- A scan fetches several feeds at once, so a refresh no longer waits on every site in turn.
+- 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.
+- `ipx list` shows each feed's id on a line of its own, labelled, under its title.
+- Each browser keeps its own theme, so a phone and a desktop can differ. A browser that has not
+  chosen one yet starts from the theme your account had.
+- The Modern theme takes its colours from the new logo: its navy, the blue of its bars and the
+  orange of its needle.
+- The logo is in the top bar beside the add-feed button, in place of the name at the top of the
+  feed list, and left out on a phone, for the search box. It follows the page, dark in a dark theme
+  and light in a light one, as the browser tab's icon does, and hovering it shows iPX's version,
+  which says so between releases: 0.9.1-dev, not 0.9.0.
+- The logo's needle is a brighter, redder orange that stands apart from the blue bars.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `ipx copy-db`, the one-off move from SQLite to Postgres. Going back needs only the old `state.db`.
+- Starting up no longer looks for files downloaded twice before 0.6.0 read WordPress's player
+  links correctly; that clean-up has run.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- 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.
+- With no limit on new downloads per check (`max_new_per_check = 0`), downloads work on Postgres; they failed.
+- Checking a feed with a long history is much quicker: items already stored are no longer written again on every check.
+- 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
+  its counts, and its artwork greyed out once it has failed for a day.
+- The log has no terminal colour codes when it is not going to a terminal, as in `docker logs`.
+- The read button shows whether an item is read, as the pin beside it shows whether it is
+  pinned: a tick when read, an envelope when not. It used to show the opposite.
+- In Directory and Popular, Subscribe is a plus again, not the tick that marks a feed you have.
+- A feed's refresh button looks like the buttons beside it, instead of standing out filled in.
+- Refreshing reads your feeds in full, instead of only asking each one whether it changed, so
+  a feed that has not changed is still read again.
+- Pulling the item list down to check for new items shows a spinner for a couple of seconds, and
+  a second pull meanwhile does nothing, instead of no sign at all that the check started.
+- Settings no longer lists the server's download folder, which only an admin can change, on
+  the admin page.
+- On the Unread tab, a swipe back (or k) goes to the item you just read, instead of past it or
+  back to the list. The items read on the way leave the Unread tab once you close the reader.
+
+## [0.9.0] - 2026-09-28
+
+### Added
+
+- A new logo, on every page, in the browser tab and on the home screen: the old radio's screen,
+  its tuning scale and orange needle, drawn flat to Apple's app icon guidelines, with a dark
+  version. The 2004 icon is still at /icon.png.
+- Words that hide items. Settings has a list for every feed you read, and each feed's settings a
+  list of its own; an item with one of those words or phrases in its title or text is hidden
+  from you and is not downloaded on your account. Other people's lists never hide anything from
+  you.
+- Share buttons for a feed, an item and a file. On a phone they open the system's share sheet;
+  elsewhere they copy the link. A link that looks like it carries your own access to a paid
+  feed asks before it goes anywhere.
+
+### Changed
+
+- iPodderX is now called iPX, on every page and in the tab. The repository is rays/ipx.
+- On a phone, iPodderX looks like an iOS app: filled round buttons and capsules instead of
+  outlined boxes, no rules between the bars and the page, the feed's name as a large title, a
+  segmented control for the tabs, taller rows with 17px text, and dialogs as sheets from the
+  bottom. Tapping a text box no longer zooms the page in. High contrast, and Increase Contrast,
+  keep their outlines.
+- The Glass theme's panels catch the light: a bright rim along the top and left edges, a fainter
+  one along the far edges, and a soft sheen from the top-left corner.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A new tab or home-screen icon shows up as soon as it is deployed, instead of a day later.
+- Opened from the home screen on an iPhone, the top bar, the reader's back button and the top
+  of the feed list keep clear of the Dynamic Island and the status bar instead of sitting under
+  them.
+- Swiping between items on a phone takes a quarter of the screen, so a diagonal scroll no longer
+  jumps ahead by accident, and no longer shows the item list through the reader: the next or
+  previous item sits beside the one you are reading and comes across with it, following your
+  finger, the end of the list says so, and swiping right from the first item draws the reader off
+  the list, dimmed until it is uncovered. A swipe from the screen's left edge stays with the page,
+  rather than Safari taking it as Back.
+
+## [0.8.4] - 2026-09-19
+
+### Added
+
+- A Glass theme, light and dark, with frosted see-through panels after Apple's Liquid Glass. It
+  goes solid when the system asks for less transparency or more contrast.
+- The page can hand playback to a native app. Opened inside an iOS or Android shell, an episode
+  plays through the host's own player instead of the page's, so it keeps going when the screen
+  locks and the car can control it; the player bar, the row buttons and the keyboard shortcuts
+  work as they always did. Video still plays in the page. In a browser nothing changes.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- On a phone, the bottom bar keeps clear of the home indicator, so the seek bar and the times are
+  no longer cut off when the page has the whole screen: in a native shell, or added to the iOS
+  home screen. In landscape the bars keep clear of the notch as well.

 * `webServer` starts **before** `globalSetup`, which is why the fixture config is written at

+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.
+* The Rust tests run on Postgres with the same URL: `. /src/.envrc && cargo test`. Each test
+  makes a schema `ipxt_<pid>_<n>`, and the next run drops those an earlier one left.

+//! 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.
