## Early December 2025 Work (Dec 1-7)

+
5
+
### playlists, ATProto sync, and library hub (feat/playlists branch, PR #499, Dec 6-7)
6
+
7
+
**status**: shipped and deployed.
8
+
9
+
**playlists** (full CRUD):
10
+
- `playlists` and `playlist_tracks` tables with Alembic migration
11
+
- `POST /lists/playlists` - create playlist
12
+
- `PUT /lists/playlists/{id}` - rename playlist
13
+
- `DELETE /lists/playlists/{id}` - delete playlist
14
+
- `POST /lists/playlists/{id}/tracks` - add track to playlist
15
+
- `DELETE /lists/playlists/{id}/tracks/{track_id}` - remove track
16
+
- `PUT /lists/playlists/{id}/tracks/reorder` - reorder tracks
17
+
- `POST /lists/playlists/{id}/cover` - upload cover art
18
+
- playlist detail page (`/playlist/[id]`) with edit modal, drag-and-drop reordering
19
+
- playlists in global search results
20
+
- "add to playlist" menu on tracks (filters out current playlist when on playlist page)
21
+
- inline "create new playlist" in add-to menu (creates playlist and adds track in one action)
22
+
- playlist sharing with OpenGraph link previews
23
+
24
+
**ATProto integration**:
25
+
- `fm.plyr.list` lexicon for syncing playlists and albums to user PDSes
26
+
- `fm.plyr.actor.profile` lexicon for syncing artist profiles
27
+
- automatic sync of albums, liked tracks, and profile on login (fire-and-forget)
28
+
- scope upgrade OAuth flow for teal.fm integration (#503)
29
+
30
+
**library hub** (`/library`):
31
+
- unified page with tabs: liked, playlists, albums
32
+
- create playlist modal with inline form
33
+
- consistent card layouts across sections
34
+
- nav changed from "liked" → "library"
35
+
36
+
**user experience**:
37
+
- public liked pages for any user (`/liked/[handle]`)
38
+
- `show_liked_on_profile` preference
39
+
- portal album/playlist section visual consistency
40
+
- toast notifications for all mutations (playlist CRUD, profile updates)
41
+
- z-index fixes for dropdown menus
42
+
43
+
**accessibility fixes**:
44
+
- fixed 32 svelte-check warnings (ARIA roles, button nesting, unused CSS)
45
+
- proper roles on modals, menus, and drag-drop elements
46
+
47
+
**design decisions**:
48
+
- lists are generic ordered collections of any ATProto records
49
+
- `listType` semantically categorizes (album, playlist, liked) but doesn't restrict content
50
+
- array order = display order, reorder via `putRecord`
51
+
- strongRef (uri + cid) for content-addressable item references
52
+
- "library" = umbrella term for personal collections
53
+
54
+
**sync architecture**:
55
+
- **profile, albums, liked tracks**: synced on login via `GET /artists/me` (fire-and-forget background tasks)
56
+
- **playlists**: synced on create/modify (not at login) - avoids N playlist syncs on every login
57
+
- sync tasks don't block the response (~300-500ms for the endpoint, PDS calls happen in background)
58
+
- putRecord calls take ~50-100ms each, with automatic DPoP nonce retry on 401
59
+
60
+
**file size audit** (candidates for future modularization):
61
+
- `portal/+page.svelte`: 2,436 lines (58% CSS)
62
+
- `playlist/[id]/+page.svelte`: 1,644 lines (48% CSS)
63
+
- `api/lists.py`: 855 lines
64
+
- CSS-heavy files could benefit from shared style extraction in future
65
+
66
+
**related issues**: #221, #146, #498

+
### list reordering UI (feat/playlists branch, Dec 7)
71
+
72
+
**what's done**:
73
+
- `PUT /lists/liked/reorder` endpoint - reorder user's liked tracks list
74
+
- `PUT /lists/{rkey}/reorder` endpoint - reorder any list by ATProto rkey
75
+
- both endpoints take `items` array of strongRefs (uri + cid) in desired order
76
+
- liked tracks page (`/liked`) now has "reorder" button for authenticated users
77
+
- album page has "reorder" button for album owner (if album has ATProto list record)
78
+
- drag-and-drop reordering on desktop (HTML5 drag API)
79
+
- touch reordering on mobile (6-dot grip handle, same pattern as queue)
80
+
- visual feedback during drag: `.drag-over` and `.is-dragging` states
81
+
- saves order to ATProto via `putRecord` when user clicks "done"
82
+
- added `atproto_record_cid` to TrackResponse schema (needed for strongRefs)
83
+
- added `artist_did` and `list_uri` to AlbumMetadata response
84
+
85
+
**UX design**:
86
+
- button toggles between "reorder" and "done" states
87
+
- in edit mode, drag handles appear next to each track
88
+
- saving shows spinner, success/error toast on completion
89
+
- only owners can see/use reorder button (liked list = current user, album = artist)
90
+
91
+

92
+
93
+
### scope upgrade OAuth flow (feat/scope-invalidation branch, Dec 7) - merged to feat/playlists
94
+
95
+
**problem**: when users enabled teal.fm scrobbling, the app showed a passive "please log out and back in" message because the session lacked the required OAuth scopes. this was confusing UX.
96
+
97
+
**solution**: immediate OAuth handshake when enabling features that require new scopes (same pattern as developer tokens).
98
+
99
+
**what's done**:
100
+
- `POST /auth/scope-upgrade/start` endpoint initiates OAuth with expanded scopes
101
+
- `pending_scope_upgrades` table tracks in-flight upgrades (10min TTL)
102
+
- callback replaces old session with new one, redirects to `/settings?scope_upgraded=true`
103
+
- frontend shows spinner during redirect, success toast on return
104
+
- fixed preferences bug where toggling settings reset theme to dark mode
105
+
106
+
**code quality**:
107
+
- eliminated bifurcated OAuth clients (`oauth_client` vs `oauth_client_with_teal`)
108
+
- replaced with `get_oauth_client(include_teal=False)` factory function
109
+
- at ~17 OAuth flows/day, instantiation cost is negligible
110
+
- explicit scope selection at call site instead of module-level state
111
+
112
+
**developer token UX**:
113
+
- full-page overlay when returning from OAuth after creating a developer token
114
+
- token displayed prominently with warning that it won't be shown again
115
+
- copy button with success feedback, link to python SDK docs
116
+
- prevents users from missing their token (was buried at bottom of page)
117
+
118
+
**test fixes**:
119
+
- fixed connection pool exhaustion in tests (was hitting Neon's connection limit)
120
+
- added `DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=2`, `DATABASE_MAX_OVERFLOW=0` to pytest env vars
121
+
- dispose cached engines after each test to prevent connection accumulation
122
+
- fixed mock function signatures for `refresh_session` tests
123
+
124
+
**tests**: 4 new tests for scope upgrade flow, all 281 tests passing
125
+

### settings consolidation (PR #496, Dec 6)
129
+
130
+
**problem**: user preferences were scattered across multiple locations with confusing terminology:
131
+
- SensitiveImage tooltip said "enable in portal" but mobile menu said "profile"
132
+
- clicking gear icon (SettingsMenu) only showed appearance/playback, not all settings
133
+
- portal mixed content management with preferences
134
+
135
+
**solution**: clear separation between **settings** (preferences) and **portal** (content & data):
136
+
137
+
| page | purpose |
138
+
|------|---------|
139
+
| `/settings` | preferences: theme, accent color, auto-advance, sensitive artwork, timed comments, teal.fm, developer tokens |
140
+
| `/portal` | your content & data: profile, tracks, albums, export, delete account |
141
+
142
+
**changes**:
143
+
- created dedicated `/settings` route consolidating all user preferences
144
+
- slimmed portal to focus on content management
145
+
- added "all settings →" link to SettingsMenu and ProfileMenu
146
+
- renamed mobile menu "profile" → "portal" to match route
147
+
- moved delete account to portal's "your data" section (it's about data, not preferences)
148
+
- fixed `font-family: inherit` on all settings page buttons
149
+
- updated SensitiveImage tooltip: "enable in settings"
150
+

### bufo easter egg improvements (PRs #491-492, Dec 6)
154
+
155
+
**what shipped**:
156
+
- configurable exclude/include patterns via env vars for bufo easter egg
157
+
- `BUFO_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS`: regex patterns to filter out (default: `^bigbufo_`)
158
+
- `BUFO_INCLUDE_PATTERNS`: allowlist that overrides exclude (default: `bigbufo_0_0`, `bigbufo_2_1`)
159
+
- cache key now includes patterns so config changes take effect immediately
160
+
161
+
**reusable type**:
162
+
- added `CommaSeparatedStringSet` type for parsing comma-delimited env vars into sets
163
+
- uses pydantic `BeforeValidator` with `Annotated` pattern (not class-coupled validators)
164
+
- handles: `VAR=a,b,c` → `{"a", "b", "c"}`
165
+
166
+
**context**: bigbufo tiles are 4x4 grid fragments that looked weird floating individually. now excluded by default, with two specific tiles allowed through.
167
+
168
+

172
+
### mobile artwork upload fix (PR #489, Dec 6)
173
+
174
+
**problem**: artwork uploads from iOS Photos library silently failed - track uploaded successfully but without artwork.
175
+
176
+
**root cause**: iOS stores photos in HEIC format. when selected, iOS converts content to JPEG but often keeps the `.heic` filename. backend validated format using only filename extension → rejected as "unsupported format".
177
+
178
+
**fix**:
179
+
- backend now prefers MIME content_type over filename extension for format detection
180
+
- added `ImageFormat.from_content_type()` method
181
+
- frontend uses `accept="image/*"` for broader iOS compatibility
182
+
183
+

184
+
185
+
### sensitive image moderation (PRs #471-488, Dec 5-6)
186
+
187
+
**what shipped**:
188
+
- `sensitive_images` table to flag problematic images by R2 `image_id` or external URL
189
+
- `show_sensitive_artwork` user preference (default: hidden, toggle in portal → "your data")
190
+
- flagged images blurred everywhere: track lists, player, artist pages, likers tooltip, search results, embeds
191
+
- Media Session API (CarPlay, lock screen, control center) respects sensitive preference
192
+
- SSR-safe filtering: link previews (og:image) exclude sensitive images on track, artist, and album pages
193
+
- likers tooltip UX: max-height with scroll, hover interaction fix, viewport-aware flip positioning
194
+
- likers tooltip z-index: elevates entire track-container when tooltip open (prevents sibling tracks bleeding through)
195
+
196
+
**how it works**:
197
+
- frontend fetches `/moderation/sensitive-images` and stores flagged IDs/URLs
198
+
- `SensitiveImage` component wraps images and checks against flagged list
199
+
- server-side check via `+layout.server.ts` for meta tag filtering
200
+
- users can opt-in to view sensitive artwork via portal toggle
201
+
202
+
**coverage** (PR #488):
203
+
204
+
| context | approach |
205
+
|---------|----------|
206
+
| DOM images needing blur | `SensitiveImage` component |
207
+
| small avatars in lists | `SensitiveImage` with `compact` prop |
208
+
| SSR meta tags (og:image) | `checkImageSensitive()` function |
209
+
| non-DOM APIs (media session) | direct `isSensitive()` + `showSensitiveArtwork` check |
210
+
211
+
**moderation workflow**:
212
+
- admin adds row to `sensitive_images` with `image_id` (R2) or `url` (external)
213
+
- images are blurred immediately for all users
214
+
- users who enable `show_sensitive_artwork` see unblurred images
215
+

### teal.fm scrobbling integration (PR #467, Dec 4)
219
+
220
+
**what shipped**:
221
+
- native teal.fm scrobbling: when users enable the toggle, plays are recorded to their PDS using teal's ATProto lexicons
222
+
- scrobble triggers at 30% or 30 seconds (whichever comes first) - same threshold as play counts
223
+
- user preference stored in database, toggleable from portal → "your data"
224
+
- settings link to pdsls.dev so users can view their scrobble records
225
+
226
+
**lexicons used**:
227
+
- `fm.teal.alpha.feed.play` - individual play records (scrobbles)
228
+
- `fm.teal.alpha.actor.status` - now-playing status updates
229
+
230
+
**configuration** (all optional, sensible defaults):
231
+
- `TEAL_ENABLED` (default: `true`) - feature flag for entire integration
232
+
- `TEAL_PLAY_COLLECTION` (default: `fm.teal.alpha.feed.play`)
233
+
- `TEAL_STATUS_COLLECTION` (default: `fm.teal.alpha.actor.status`)
234
+
235
+
**code quality improvements** (same PR):
236
+
- added `settings.frontend.domain` computed property for environment-aware URLs
237
+
- extracted `get_session_id_from_request()` utility for bearer token parsing
238
+
- added field validator on `DeveloperTokenInfo.session_id` for auto-truncation
239
+
- applied walrus operators throughout auth and playback code
240
+
- fixed now-playing endpoint firing every 1 second (fingerprint update bug in scheduled reports)
241
+
242
+
**documentation**: `backend/src/backend/_internal/atproto/teal.py` contains inline docs on the scrobbling flow
243
+
244
+
---
245
+
246
+
### unified search (PR #447, Dec 3)
247
+
248
+
**what shipped**:
249
+
- `Cmd+K` (mac) / `Ctrl+K` (windows/linux) opens search modal from anywhere
250
+
- fuzzy matching across tracks, artists, albums, and tags using PostgreSQL `pg_trgm`
251
+
- results grouped by type with relevance scores (0.0-1.0)
252
+
- keyboard navigation (arrow keys, enter, esc)
253
+
- artwork/avatars displayed with lazy loading and fallback icons
254
+
- glassmorphism modal styling with backdrop blur
255
+
- debounced input (150ms) with client-side validation
256
+
257
+
**database**:
258
+
- enabled `pg_trgm` extension for trigram-based similarity search
259
+
- GIN indexes on `tracks.title`, `artists.handle`, `artists.display_name`, `albums.title`, `tags.name`
260
+
261
+
**documentation**: `docs/frontend/search.md`, `docs/frontend/keyboard-shortcuts.md`
262
+
263
+
**follow-up polish** (PRs #449-463):
264
+
- mobile search icon in header (PRs #455-456)
265
+
- theme-aware modal styling with styled scrollbar (#450)
266
+
- ILIKE fallback for substring matches when trigram fails (#452)
267
+
- tag collapse with +N button (#453)
268
+
- input focus fix: removed `visibility: hidden` so focus works on open (#457, #463)
269
+
- album artwork fallback in player when track has no image (#458)
270
+
- rate limiting exemption for now-playing endpoints (#460)
271
+
- `--no-dev` flag for release command to prevent dev dep installation (#461)
272
+

274
+
275
+
### light/dark theme and mobile UX overhaul (Dec 2-3)
276
+
277
+
**theme system** (PR #441):
278
+
- replaced hardcoded colors across 35 files with CSS custom properties
279
+
- semantic tokens: `--bg-primary`, `--text-secondary`, `--accent`, etc.
280
+
- theme switcher in settings: dark / light / system (follows OS preference)
281
+
- removed zen mode feature (superseded by proper theme support)
282
+
283
+
**mobile UX improvements** (PR #443):
284
+
- new `ProfileMenu` component — collapses profile, upload, settings, logout into touch-optimized menu (44px tap targets)
285
+
- dedicated `/upload` page — extracted from portal for cleaner mobile flow
286
+
- portal overhaul — tighter forms, track detail links under artwork, fixed icon alignment
287
+
- standardized section headers across home and liked tracks pages
288
+
289
+
**player scroll timing fix** (PR #445):
290
+
- reduced title scroll cycle from 10s → 8s, artist/album from 15s → 10s
291
+
- eliminated 1.5s invisible pause at end of scroll animation
292
+
- fixed duplicate upload toast (was firing twice on success)
293
+
- upload success toast now includes "view track" link
294
+
295
+
**CI optimization** (PR #444):
296
+
- pre-commit hooks now skip based on changed paths
297
+
- result: ~10s for most PRs instead of ~1m20s
298
+
- only installs tooling (uv, bun) needed for changed directories
299
+
300
+

301
+
302
+
### tag filtering system and SDK tag support (Dec 2)
303
+
304
+
**tag filtering** (PRs #431-434):
305
+
- users can now hide tracks by tag via eye icon filter in discovery feed
306
+
- preferences centralized in root layout (fetched once, shared across app)
307
+
- `HiddenTagsFilter` component with expandable UI for managing hidden tags
308
+
- default hidden tags: `["ai"]` for new users
309
+
- tag detail pages at `/tag/[name]` with all tracks for that tag
310
+
- clickable tag badges on tracks navigate to tag pages
311
+
312
+
**navigation fix** (PR #435):
313
+
- fixed tag links interrupting audio playback
314
+
- root cause: `stopPropagation()` on links breaks SvelteKit's client-side router
315
+
- documented pattern in `docs/frontend/navigation.md` to prevent recurrence
316
+
317
+
**SDK tag support** (plyr-python-client v0.0.1-alpha.10):
318
+
- added `tags: set[str]` parameter to `upload()` in SDK
319
+
- added `-t/--tag` CLI option (can be used multiple times)
320
+
- updated MCP `upload_guide` prompt with tag examples
321
+
- status maintenance workflow now tags AI-generated podcasts with `ai` (#436)
322
+
323
+
**tags in detail pages** (PR #437):
324
+
- track detail endpoint (`/tracks/{id}`) now returns tags
325
+
- album detail endpoint (`/albums/{handle}/{slug}`) now returns tags for all tracks
326
+
- track detail page displays clickable tag badges
327
+
328
+
**bufo easter egg** (PR #438, improved in #491-492):
329
+
- tracks tagged with `bufo` trigger animated toad GIFs on the detail page
330
+
- uses track title as semantic search query against [find-bufo API](https://find-bufo.fly.dev/)
331
+
- toads are semantically matched to the song's vibe (e.g., "Happy Vibes" gets happy toads)
332
+
- results cached in localStorage (1 week TTL) to minimize API calls
333
+
- `TagEffects` wrapper component provides extensibility for future tag-based plugins
334
+
- respects `prefers-reduced-motion`; fails gracefully if API unavailable
335
+
- configurable exclude/include patterns via env vars (see Dec 6 entry above)
336
+
337

338
+
339
+
### queue touch reordering and header stats fix (Dec 2)
340
+
341
+
**queue mobile UX** (PR #428):
342
+
- added 6-dot drag handle to queue items for touch-friendly reordering
343
+
- implemented touch event handlers for mobile drag-and-drop
344
+
- track follows finger during drag with smooth translateY transform
345
+
- drop target highlights while dragging over other tracks
346
+
347
+
**header stats positioning** (PR #426):
348
+
- fixed platform stats not adjusting when queue sidebar opens/closes
349
+
- added `--queue-width` CSS custom property updated dynamically
350
+
- stats now shift left with smooth transition when queue opens
351
+

### connection pool resilience for Neon cold starts (Dec 2)
355
+
356
+
**incident**: ~5 minute API outage (01:55-02:00 UTC) - all requests returned 500 errors
357
+
358
+
**root cause**: Neon serverless cold start after 5 minutes of idle traffic
359
+
- queue listener heartbeat detected dead connection, began reconnection
360
+
- first 5 user requests each held a connection waiting for Neon to wake up (3-5 min each)
361
+
- with pool_size=5 and max_overflow=0, pool exhausted immediately
362
+
- all subsequent requests got `QueuePool limit of size 5 overflow 0 reached`
363
+
364
+
**fix**:
365
+
- increased `pool_size` from 5 → 10 (handle more concurrent cold start requests)
366
+
- increased `max_overflow` from 0 → 5 (allow burst to 15 connections)
367
+
- increased `connection_timeout` from 3s → 10s (wait for Neon wake-up)
368
+
369
+
**related**: this is a recurrence of the Nov 17 incident. that fix addressed the queue listener's asyncpg connection but not the SQLAlchemy pool connections.

54
-
- **PR #508**: invalidate layout data after token exchange - fixes stale auth state after login
55
-
- **PR #509**: playlist menus and link previews - fixed stopPropagation blocking links, added `/playlist/` to hasPageMetadata
56
-
- **PR #510**: inline playlist creation - replaced navigation-based create with inline form to avoid playback interruption
52
+
**public playlist viewing** (PR #519):
53
+
- playlists now publicly viewable without authentication
54
+
- ATProto records are public by design - auth was unnecessary for read access
55
+
- shared playlist URLs no longer redirect unauthenticated users to homepage
57
56
58
-
**the navigation bug** (PR #510):
59
-
- clicking "create new playlist" from AddToMenu/TrackActionsMenu previously navigated to `/library?create=playlist`
57
+
**inline playlist creation** (PR #510):
58
+
- clicking "create new playlist" from AddToMenu previously navigated to `/library?create=playlist`
60
59
- this caused SvelteKit to reinitialize the layout, destroying the audio element and stopping playback
61
60
- fix: added inline create form that creates playlist and adds track in one action without navigation
62
-
- same pattern applied to TrackActionsMenu (mobile bottom sheet menu)

73
-
- `PUT /lists/playlists/{id}` - rename playlist
74
-

90
88
91
89
**library hub** (`/library`):
92
90
- unified page with tabs: liked, playlists, albums
93
-
- create playlist modal with inline form
94
-
- consistent card layouts across sections
95
91
- nav changed from "liked" → "library"
96
92
97
-
**user experience**:
98
-
- public liked pages for any user (`/liked/[handle]`)
99
-
- `show_liked_on_profile` preference
100
-
- portal album/playlist section visual consistency
101
-
- toast notifications for all mutations (playlist CRUD, profile updates)
102
-
- z-index fixes for dropdown menus
103
-
104
-
**accessibility fixes**:
105
-
- fixed 32 svelte-check warnings (ARIA roles, button nesting, unused CSS)
106
-
- proper roles on modals, menus, and drag-drop elements
107
-
108
-
**design decisions**:
109
-
- lists are generic ordered collections of any ATProto records
110
-
- `listType` semantically categorizes (album, playlist, liked) but doesn't restrict content
111
-
- array order = display order, reorder via `putRecord`
112
-
- strongRef (uri + cid) for content-addressable item references
113
-
- "library" = umbrella term for personal collections
114
-
115
-
**sync architecture**:
116
-
- **profile, albums, liked tracks**: synced on login via `GET /artists/me` (fire-and-forget background tasks)
117
-
- **playlists**: synced on create/modify (not at login) - avoids N playlist syncs on every login
118
-
- sync tasks don't block the response (~300-500ms for the endpoint, PDS calls happen in background)
119
-
- putRecord calls take ~50-100ms each, with automatic DPoP nonce retry on 401
120
-
121
-
**file size audit** (candidates for future modularization):
122
-
- `portal/+page.svelte`: 2,436 lines (58% CSS)
123
-
- `playlist/[id]/+page.svelte`: 1,644 lines (48% CSS)
124
-
- `api/lists.py`: 855 lines
125
-
- CSS-heavy files could benefit from shared style extraction in future

#### list reordering UI (feat/playlists branch, Dec 7)
132
-
133
-
**what's done**:
134
-
- `PUT /lists/liked/reorder` endpoint - reorder user's liked tracks list
135
-
- `PUT /lists/{rkey}/reorder` endpoint - reorder any list by ATProto rkey
136
-
- both endpoints take `items` array of strongRefs (uri + cid) in desired order
137
-
- liked tracks page (`/liked`) now has "reorder" button for authenticated users
138
-
- album page has "reorder" button for album owner (if album has ATProto list record)
139
-
- drag-and-drop reordering on desktop (HTML5 drag API)
140
-
- touch reordering on mobile (6-dot grip handle, same pattern as queue)
141
-
- visual feedback during drag: `.drag-over` and `.is-dragging` states
142
-
- saves order to ATProto via `putRecord` when user clicks "done"
143
-
- added `atproto_record_cid` to TrackResponse schema (needed for strongRefs)
144
-
- added `artist_did` and `list_uri` to AlbumMetadata response
145
-
146
-
**UX design**:
147
-
- button toggles between "reorder" and "done" states
148
-
- in edit mode, drag handles appear next to each track
149
-
- saving shows spinner, success/error toast on completion
150
-
- only owners can see/use reorder button (liked list = current user, album = artist)
151

#### scope upgrade OAuth flow (feat/scope-invalidation branch, Dec 7) - merged to feat/playlists
155
-
156
-
**problem**: when users enabled teal.fm scrobbling, the app showed a passive "please log out and back in" message because the session lacked the required OAuth scopes. this was confusing UX.
157
-
158
-
**solution**: immediate OAuth handshake when enabling features that require new scopes (same pattern as developer tokens).
159
-
160
-
**what's done**:
161
-
- `POST /auth/scope-upgrade/start` endpoint initiates OAuth with expanded scopes
162
-
- `pending_scope_upgrades` table tracks in-flight upgrades (10min TTL)
163
-
- callback replaces old session with new one, redirects to `/settings?scope_upgraded=true`
164
-
- frontend shows spinner during redirect, success toast on return
165
-
- fixed preferences bug where toggling settings reset theme to dark mode
166
-
167
-
**code quality**:
168
-
- eliminated bifurcated OAuth clients (`oauth_client` vs `oauth_client_with_teal`)
169
-
- replaced with `get_oauth_client(include_teal=False)` factory function
170
-
- at ~17 OAuth flows/day, instantiation cost is negligible
171
-
- explicit scope selection at call site instead of module-level state
172
-
173
-
**developer token UX**:
174
-
- full-page overlay when returning from OAuth after creating a developer token
175
-
- token displayed prominently with warning that it won't be shown again
176
-
- copy button with success feedback, link to python SDK docs
177
-
- prevents users from missing their token (was buried at bottom of page)
178
-
179
-
**test fixes**:
180
-
- fixed connection pool exhaustion in tests (was hitting Neon's connection limit)
181
-
- added `DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=2`, `DATABASE_MAX_OVERFLOW=0` to pytest env vars
182
-
- dispose cached engines after each test to prevent connection accumulation
183
-
- fixed mock function signatures for `refresh_session` tests
184
-
185
-
**tests**: 4 new tests for scope upgrade flow, all 281 tests passing

#### settings consolidation (PR #496, Dec 6)
190
-
191
-
**problem**: user preferences were scattered across multiple locations with confusing terminology:
192
-
- SensitiveImage tooltip said "enable in portal" but mobile menu said "profile"
193
-
- clicking gear icon (SettingsMenu) only showed appearance/playback, not all settings
194
-
- portal mixed content management with preferences
195
-
196
-
**solution**: clear separation between **settings** (preferences) and **portal** (content & data):
197
-
198
-
| page | purpose |
199
-
|------|---------|
200
-
| `/settings` | preferences: theme, accent color, auto-advance, sensitive artwork, timed comments, teal.fm, developer tokens |
201
-
| `/portal` | your content & data: profile, tracks, albums, export, delete account |
202
-
203
-
**changes**:
204
-
- created dedicated `/settings` route consolidating all user preferences
205
-
- slimmed portal to focus on content management
206
-
- added "all settings →" link to SettingsMenu and ProfileMenu
207
-
- renamed mobile menu "profile" → "portal" to match route
208
-
- moved delete account to portal's "your data" section (it's about data, not preferences)
209
-
- fixed `font-family: inherit` on all settings page buttons
210
-
- updated SensitiveImage tooltip: "enable in settings"

#### bufo easter egg improvements (PRs #491-492, Dec 6)
215
-
216
-
**what shipped**:
217
-
- configurable exclude/include patterns via env vars for bufo easter egg
218
-
- `BUFO_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS`: regex patterns to filter out (default: `^bigbufo_`)
219
-
- `BUFO_INCLUDE_PATTERNS`: allowlist that overrides exclude (default: `bigbufo_0_0`, `bigbufo_2_1`)
220
-
- cache key now includes patterns so config changes take effect immediately
221
-
222
-
**reusable type**:
223
-
- added `CommaSeparatedStringSet` type for parsing comma-delimited env vars into sets
224
-
- uses pydantic `BeforeValidator` with `Annotated` pattern (not class-coupled validators)
225
-
- handles: `VAR=a,b,c` → `{"a", "b", "c"}`
226
-
227
-
**context**: bigbufo tiles are 4x4 grid fragments that looked weird floating individually. now excluded by default, with two specific tiles allowed through.

#### mobile artwork upload fix (PR #489, Dec 6)
234
-
235
-
**problem**: artwork uploads from iOS Photos library silently failed - track uploaded successfully but without artwork.
236
-
237
-
**root cause**: iOS stores photos in HEIC format. when selected, iOS converts content to JPEG but often keeps the `.heic` filename. backend validated format using only filename extension → rejected as "unsupported format".
238
-
239
-
**fix**:
240
-
- backend now prefers MIME content_type over filename extension for format detection
241
-
- added `ImageFormat.from_content_type()` method
242
-
- frontend uses `accept="image/*"` for broader iOS compatibility
243
-
244
97
#### sensitive image moderation (PRs #471-488, Dec 5-6)
245
98
246
-
**what shipped**:
247
-
- `sensitive_images` table to flag problematic images by R2 `image_id` or external URL
248
-
- `show_sensitive_artwork` user preference (default: hidden, toggle in portal → "your data")
249
-
- flagged images blurred everywhere: track lists, player, artist pages, likers tooltip, search results, embeds
250
-
- Media Session API (CarPlay, lock screen, control center) respects sensitive preference
251
-
- SSR-safe filtering: link previews (og:image) exclude sensitive images on track, artist, and album pages
252
-
- likers tooltip UX: max-height with scroll, hover interaction fix, viewport-aware flip positioning
253
-
- likers tooltip z-index: elevates entire track-container when tooltip open (prevents sibling tracks bleeding through)
254
-
255
-
**how it works**:
256
-
- frontend fetches `/moderation/sensitive-images` and stores flagged IDs/URLs
257
-
- `SensitiveImage` component wraps images and checks against flagged list
258
-
- server-side check via `+layout.server.ts` for meta tag filtering
259
-
- users can opt-in to view sensitive artwork via portal toggle
260
-
261
-
**coverage** (PR #488):
262
-
263
-
| context | approach |
264
-
|---------|----------|
265
-
| DOM images needing blur | `SensitiveImage` component |
266
-
| small avatars in lists | `SensitiveImage` with `compact` prop |
267
-
| SSR meta tags (og:image) | `checkImageSensitive()` function |
268
-
| non-DOM APIs (media session) | direct `isSensitive()` + `showSensitiveArtwork` check |
269
-
270
-
**moderation workflow**:
271
-
- admin adds row to `sensitive_images` with `image_id` (R2) or `url` (external)
272
-
- images are blurred immediately for all users
273
-
- users who enable `show_sensitive_artwork` see unblurred images
99
+
- `sensitive_images` table flags problematic images
100
+
- `show_sensitive_artwork` user preference
101
+
- flagged images blurred everywhere: track lists, player, artist pages, search, embeds
102
+
- Media Session API respects sensitive preference
103
+
- SSR-safe filtering for og:image link previews

#### teal.fm scrobbling integration (PR #467, Dec 4)
278
-
279
-
**what shipped**:
280
-
- native teal.fm scrobbling: when users enable the toggle, plays are recorded to their PDS using teal's ATProto lexicons
281
-
- scrobble triggers at 30% or 30 seconds (whichever comes first) - same threshold as play counts
282
-
- user preference stored in database, toggleable from portal → "your data"
283
-
- settings link to pdsls.dev so users can view their scrobble records
284
-
285
-
**lexicons used**:
286
-
- `fm.teal.alpha.feed.play` - individual play records (scrobbles)
287
-
- `fm.teal.alpha.actor.status` - now-playing status updates
107

-
- added `settings.frontend.domain` computed property for environment-aware URLs
296
-
- extracted `get_session_id_from_request()` utility for bearer token parsing
297
-
- added field validator on `DeveloperTokenInfo.session_id` for auto-truncation
298
-

341
-
342

344
-
- dedicated `/upload` page — extracted from portal for cleaner mobile flow
345
-
- portal overhaul — tighter forms, track detail links under artwork, fixed icon alignment
346
-
- standardized section headers across home and liked tracks pages
347
-
348
-
**player scroll timing fix** (PR #445):
349

350
-
- eliminated 1.5s invisible pause at end of scroll animation
351

353
-
354

#### tag filtering system and SDK tag support (Dec 2)
362
-
363
-
**tag filtering** (PRs #431-434):
364
-
- users can now hide tracks by tag via eye icon filter in discovery feed
365
-
- preferences centralized in root layout (fetched once, shared across app)
366
-
- `HiddenTagsFilter` component with expandable UI for managing hidden tags
367
-
- default hidden tags: `["ai"]` for new users
368
-

370
-
371
-
**navigation fix** (PR #435):
372
-
- fixed tag links interrupting audio playback
373
-
- root cause: `stopPropagation()` on links breaks SvelteKit's client-side router
374
-
- documented pattern in `docs/frontend/navigation.md` to prevent recurrence
375
-
376
-
**SDK tag support** (plyr-python-client v0.0.1-alpha.10):
377
-
- added `tags: set[str]` parameter to `upload()` in SDK
378
-
- added `-t/--tag` CLI option (can be used multiple times)
379
-

380
-
- status maintenance workflow now tags AI-generated podcasts with `ai` (#436)
381
-
382
-
**tags in detail pages** (PR #437):
383
-
- track detail endpoint (`/tracks/{id}`) now returns tags
384
-
- album detail endpoint (`/albums/{handle}/{slug}`) now returns tags for all tracks
385
-
- track detail page displays clickable tag badges
386
-
387
-
**bufo easter egg** (PR #438, improved in #491-492):
388
-
- tracks tagged with `bufo` trigger animated toad GIFs on the detail page
389
-
- uses track title as semantic search query against [find-bufo API](https://find-bufo.fly.dev/)
390
-
- toads are semantically matched to the song's vibe (e.g., "Happy Vibes" gets happy toads)
391
-
- results cached in localStorage (1 week TTL) to minimize API calls
392
-
- `TagEffects` wrapper component provides extensibility for future tag-based plugins
393
-
- respects `prefers-reduced-motion`; fails gracefully if API unavailable
394
-
- configurable exclude/include patterns via env vars (see Dec 6 entry above)
395
-
396

#### queue touch reordering and header stats fix (Dec 2)
399
-
400
-
**queue mobile UX** (PR #428):
401
-
- added 6-dot drag handle to queue items for touch-friendly reordering
402
-
- implemented touch event handlers for mobile drag-and-drop
403
-
- track follows finger during drag with smooth translateY transform
404

#### connection pool resilience for Neon cold starts (Dec 2)
414
-
415
-
**incident**: ~5 minute API outage (01:55-02:00 UTC) - all requests returned 500 errors
416
-
417
-
**root cause**: Neon serverless cold start after 5 minutes of idle traffic
418
-
- queue listener heartbeat detected dead connection, began reconnection
419
-
- first 5 user requests each held a connection waiting for Neon to wake up (3-5 min each)
420
-
- with pool_size=5 and max_overflow=0, pool exhausted immediately
421
-
- all subsequent requests got `QueuePool limit of size 5 overflow 0 reached`
422
-
423
-
**fix**:
424
-
- increased `pool_size` from 5 → 10 (handle more concurrent cold start requests)
425
-
- increased `max_overflow` from 0 → 5 (allow burst to 15 connections)
426
-
- increased `connection_timeout` from 3s → 10s (wait for Neon wake-up)
427
-
428
-
**related**: this is a recurrence of the Nov 17 incident. that fix addressed the queue listener's asyncpg connection but not the SQLAlchemy pool connections.

### known issues
539
-
- playback auto-start on refresh (#225) - investigating localStorage/queue state persistence
134
+
- playback auto-start on refresh (#225)
540
135
- no AIFF/AIF transcoding support (#153)
541
-
- iOS PWA audio may hang on first play after backgrounding - service worker caching interacts poorly with 307 redirects to R2 CDN. PR #466 added `NetworkOnly` for audio routes which should fix this, but iOS PWAs are slow to update service workers. workaround: delete home screen bookmark and re-add. may need further investigation if issue persists after SW propagates.

### technical decisions
631
202
632
203
**why Python/FastAPI instead of Rust?**
633
204
- rapid prototyping velocity during MVP phase
634
-
- rich ecosystem for web APIs
635
-
- excellent async support with asyncio
636
205
- trade-off: accepting higher latency for faster development
637
206
638
207
**why Cloudflare R2 instead of S3?**
639
208
- zero egress fees (critical for audio streaming)
640
-
- S3-compatible API (easy migration if needed)
641
-
- integrated CDN for fast delivery
642
-
643
-
**why forked atproto SDK?**
644
-
- upstream SDK lacked OAuth 2.1 support
645
-
- needed custom record management patterns
646
-
- maintains compatibility with ATProto spec
209
+
- S3-compatible API, integrated CDN
647
210
648
211
**why async everywhere?**
649
-
- event loop performance: single-threaded async handles high concurrency
650
212
- I/O-bound workload: most time spent waiting on network/disk
651
213
- PRs #149-151 eliminated all blocking operations
