* fix(content): rotation-aware media dimensions — portrait no longer stored landscape (#170)
Ingest recorded CODED width/height and ignored rotation, so a portrait phone video
(coded 1920x1080 + 90° Display-Matrix) or a portrait photo (EXIF orientation 6) was
stored LANDSCAPE. The player then rendered it wrong-aspect and letterboxed — the
"portrait content degraded + blue bar at the bottom" symptom in #170. The reporter's
workaround (pre-rotate + mark Landscape) is exactly what this bug forces.
- lib/media-orientation.js (new): pure, unit-tested display-dimension helpers = single
source of truth for ingest AND the backfill. videoDisplayDims() reads the modern
Display-Matrix side_data rotation (falls back to the legacy tags.rotate, sign-normalized);
imageDisplayDims() honors EXIF orientation 5..8. Odd quarter-turns swap W/H.
- lib/content-ingest.js: use the helpers for stored dims; add sharp .rotate() so image
THUMBNAILS are auto-oriented too (video thumbs were already auto-rotated by ffmpeg).
- scripts/backfill-rotation-dims.js (new): idempotent, dry-run-by-default maintenance to
correct already-uploaded portrait media (re-probe -> fix dims -> regenerate image thumbs).
- test/media-orientation.test.js: 5 bites (tag + Display-Matrix, sign/normalize, EXIF 5..8,
the blue-bar landscape->portrait case, null-safety).
Scopes #170 to its residual-on-1.9.4 issues; the 1.9.3 "never displays" slice was #162 +
the remote_url-null download fix, already shipped in 1.9.4. The slow low-res/orientation-
cycling first load is tracked separately in #170 pending repro data.

* fix(android): honor EXIF orientation in ImageLoader so portrait photos render upright (#170)
Completes the rotation-aware media fix on the PLAYER side. The server ingest fix (this
branch) corrects stored dimensions + auto-orients the thumbnail, but the panel draws the
full-res original via BitmapFactory, which ignores EXIF — so a portrait photo (landscape
pixels tagged "rotate 90") still rendered sideways on the screen. QA root-cause pass on
#170 caught this gap: the Android player reads no stored dims and applied no EXIF.
ImageLoader now reads the EXIF orientation (from the file for cached content, from the byte
stream for remote_url images — ExifInterface(stream) is API 24+, minSdk is 24) and rotates/
flips the decoded bitmap via a Matrix (all 8 orientations). NORMAL/UNDEFINED is a no-op (no
extra allocation); a transformed copy recycles the source; OOM falls back to the source
rather than crashing. Videos were already correct (ExoPlayer honors the rotation matrix).
Verified: :app:compileDebugKotlin clean.
Refs #170. Rides with the server rotation-dims fix on this branch.

Agency-portal uploads previously all landed at the workspace library root, unsorted.
Instead of the issue's whole-workspace folder dropdown (which would leak every folder
name to an external party), bind ONE folder per agency token — admin-controlled and
agency-invisible — and scope the portal picker strictly to that folder's own subtree
(Hybrid-C). Fully backwards-compatible: no bound folder -> root, exactly as before.
Model / multi-workspace: an agency token is bound to ONE workspace at issuance, so the
token key IS that workspace's private link and the bound folder lives in that workspace.
An admin with N workspaces mints one token per workspace (each with its own auto-folder).
No workspace-switcher in the portal — the token is the tenant boundary.
Backend:
- api_tokens.upload_folder_id (additive; ON DELETE SET NULL -> deleting the folder falls
back to root).
- lib/agency-targets.folderSubtree(): recursive-CTE helper = the SINGLE confinement source
shared by GET /api/agency/folders AND the POST /api/agency/content target check, so the
set the agency can SEE and the set it may WRITE to can never drift. Workspace-guarded at
the anchor row; descendants inherit the workspace (folders.js forbids cross-ws parents).
- routes/agency.js: GET /folders (bound subtree only); POST /content defaults to the bound
folder and 403s any folder_id outside the subtree.
- routes/tokens.js: create auto-creates "Agency — <name>" (or binds a picked folder,
validated same-workspace, respecting the 100-folder cap) inside the token tx; new
PUT /:id/upload-folder to rebind; listing surfaces the bound folder name.
- middleware/apiToken.js + lib/content-ingest.js: upload_folder_id onto req.apiToken; ingest
writes folder_id.
Frontend:
- Agency portal: folder <select> shown only when a real subfolder choice exists (identifies
the "Main folder" root client-side without learning the token's folder id).
- Settings: folder pick at token creation, bound-folder display, rebind modal.
- i18n: 7 new apitoken.* keys across all 5 locales.
Tests (429/429):
- test/agency-folder.test.js: 5 folderSubtree confinement bites (subtree in, siblings out,
workspace guard, null -> root).
- test/agency.test.js (+1 e2e): auto-create, default-to-bound, in-subtree pick lands there,
sibling -> 403, admin-pick, unknown-pick -> 400, rebind-to-root.
Closes#158.

* feat(system-control): Tier 0/1 controls with no device-owner dependency [#160]
Track A of the system-control split (Track B = device owner, shipped in #168). Ships the
capabilities that need NO device owner, with graceful per-tier degradation.
Capability reporting (keystone):
- DeviceInfo now reports can_write_settings / accessibility_enabled / overlay_granted
alongside the existing tier/device_owner flags; server persists them (3 additive device
columns, older APKs default to 0); dashboard gates controls + shows what's grantable.
Android SystemControl (new, all best-effort / no-op when unsupported):
- Tier 0 (no permission): media volume (AudioManager STREAM_MUSIC), per-window brightness
(WindowManager.LayoutParams.screenBrightness — dims our window only).
- Tier 1 (WRITE_SETTINGS): system-wide brightness + screen-off timeout (Settings.System).
- Commands set_volume / set_brightness / set_system_brightness / set_screen_timeout wired
in MainActivity.onCommand; ALLOWED_COMMANDS extended for the group path.
- SetupActivity gains a one-time WRITE_SETTINGS grant row (mirrors the overlay/accessibility
grants); manifest declares WRITE_SETTINGS.
Dashboard:
- device-detail "System control" section (any Android panel): volume + this-app brightness
sliders always; system brightness + sleep-timeout only when the panel reports
can_write_settings, else a "grant on the panel" hint. Sends on release (not drag).
Validated live on a non-owner tier-0 panel: dashboard → set_volume 0.75/0.15 → the panel's
STREAM_MUSIC volume moved to 11/2 (of 15). 423 server tests green.
Closes#160.

* fix(system-control): volume slider reflects real volume + device-owner brightness/timeout [#160]
Two fixes from live testing:
1. Volume "doesn't remember" — the slider hardcoded 50 because the panel never reported its
current volume. Now DeviceInfo reports media_volume (0..1); a new lightweight device:info
socket event lets the panel re-report right after a set_volume (no full re-register / playlist
re-push); server stores devices.media_volume; the dashboard inits the slider from it.
Validated: dashboard set_volume 0.60 -> panel STREAM_MUSIC 2->9 (of 15) -> stored 0.60.
2. System brightness/timeout on a DEVICE OWNER — was gated only on WRITE_SETTINGS, which an
owner doesn't have. A device owner can set those via DevicePolicyManager.setSystemSetting
with no grant, so SystemControl now takes that path when isDeviceOwner(), and the dashboard
enables the Tier-1 controls when can_write_settings OR tier===2. STPolicy.setSystemSetting added.
deviceSocket device_info UPDATE extracted into applyDeviceInfo(), shared by device:register and
device:info. Migration: devices.media_volume REAL (additive). 423 server tests green.

* feat(system-control): brightness/timeout remember + move controls into a tab [#160]
Same "remember what it's set to" treatment as volume, now for brightness + sleep timeout, and
the System control section moves off the top into its own "Controls" tab.
Reporting (DeviceInfo -> device:info re-report -> devices columns -> dashboard slider init):
- system_brightness (read from Settings.System, no permission) + screen_off_timeout_ms.
- window_brightness: persisted in ServerConfig (survives relaunch, re-applied on MainActivity
launch) so the per-window slider reflects it too.
- reportInfoNow() now also fires after set_brightness / set_screen_timeout.
Dashboard: new "Controls" tab (any Android panel) holding the volume/brightness/timeout controls;
every control inits from the reported value; sleep dropdown preselects the current timeout.
Server: +3 additive columns (system_brightness, window_brightness, screen_off_timeout_ms); the
device_info UPDATE stores them. Migrations all additive/re-runnable. 423 server tests green.
Validated live: set_brightness 0.40 -> stored window_brightness 0.40; volume 0.30 -> 0.33.

* feat(group-sync): synchronized playback per group (server + Android) [stage 1]
Play a group's shared playlist in lockstep across its displays — start/end items
together — by reusing the video-wall sync primitive with the spatial transform
removed and keyed on group_id instead of wall_id.
Server:
- device_groups += sync_enabled + leader_device_id (optional pin).
- buildPlaylistPayload emits a group_sync:{group_id, is_leader} block ONLY for a
member whose playlist matches the group's shared playlist (playlist-match guard —
a mismatched member is ignored, never synced). Membership via device_group_members.
- Leader auto-election: pinned-if-online -> first online matching member -> stable
fallback; computed (never persisted, so the operator's pin is preserved).
- group:sync / group:sync-request relay among eligible members (mirrors wall:sync,
guarded on membership + playlist match).
- Self-heal: re-push payloads to group members on (re)connect so is_leader refreshes.
- PUT /api/device-groups/:id accepts sync_enabled + leader_device_id and re-pushes.
Android:
- WallController is now mode-aware. WALL = transform + object-fit:fill + forced
follower-mute (UNCHANGED — every wall branch is byte-equivalent when isGroup=false).
GROUP = same leader/follower timing incl. the full video drift controller, but
full-screen (no transform), normal fit, and per-item mute honored (no forced mute).
- WebSocketService: emitGroupSync/emitGroupSyncRequest + onGroupSync/onGroupSyncRequest.
- MainActivity: dispatch emit by mode, parseGroupConfig, onPlaylistUpdate group hook.
Wall path is provably unchanged (additive mode, defaults to WALL). Kotlin compiles;
server suite 407/407.
Stage 2 (follow-up): web + Tizen parity, dashboard sync toggle + leader picker,
offline-sweep leader promotion.

* feat(group-sync): web + Tizen player parity [stage 2]
Mirror the Android group-sync generalization in the two web-based players so a group
with a shared playlist syncs across mixed player types, not just Android.
Web player (server/player/index.html):
- group:sync / group:sync-request handlers (index jump + latency-compensated video
drift, same maths as wall:sync) — no audio policy here, per-item mute honored.
- emitGroupSync() + applyGroupSync() (4Hz leader broadcast; follower sync-request).
NO CSS transform, NO forced mute (unlike applyWallMode).
- isFollower now also true for a group follower (suppresses self-advance).
- handlePlaylistUpdate handles data.group_sync (mutually exclusive with wall).
Tizen (tizen/js/player.js WallController + app.js):
- WallController is mode-aware: WALL styles the slice + forced follower semantics
(UNCHANGED when mode !== 'group'); GROUP clears any wall styling (full-screen) and
drives leader/follower timing only. syncId()/clearStageStyle() helpers; emitSync/
onSync/onSyncRequest key the event + id off the mode.
- app.js: group:sync/request socket handlers; onPlaylist enters group sync on a
group_sync block, else exits — content renders through the normal single-zone path.
Realigned the v4-exit-signal-phase3 TIZEN slice (682->696) shifted by the app.js edits.
Wall path is provably unchanged in both (additive group mode). Server suite 407/407;
both players' JS parse.

* feat(group-sync): dashboard UI — sync toggle + leader picker [stage 3]
On each group's header row:
- "Sync" checkbox -> PUT /api/groups/:id { sync_enabled } enables synchronized
playback; server re-pushes to members so they enter/exit sync mode. A hint notes
it needs a group playlist and that a display on a different playlist is ignored.
- When on, a "Leader: Auto / <display>" picker -> { leader_device_id } (null = auto-
elect, which self-heals; or pin a specific member to always lead when online).
Adds api.updateGroup(id, data) and the en i18n strings (en-only, mirroring the
existing per-group UI keys; the i18n parity test is apitoken-scoped).
Frontend parses (ESM); server suite 407/407.

* feat(group-sync): rework to clock/schedule sync + double-buffer + polish
Replace the leader/follower relay model with clock/schedule sync. Every
same-playlist member derives the identical (index, position) locally from a
server-disciplined clock + the deterministic playlist schedule, so sync:
- needs no server at play-time (offline-native), and
- has no leader role to double-elect (kills the split-brain class the leaked
WallController tick produced).
Server
- heartbeat-ack now carries server_ms + echoes client_ms for NTP-style clock
discipline; the client caches the offset (survives an outage).
- POST /groups/:id/resync -> group:resync (manual "Resync now").
- (kept: group_sync payload; leader machinery is now vestigial/ignored.)
Clients (web / Tizen / Android)
- Clock offset disciplined over the heartbeat, cached (localStorage / prefs).
- Schedule engine: pos = (syncedNow mod Sum(duration_sec)) with a CANONICAL
slot formula identical across platforms so mixed-platform groups can't drift.
- Snap-on-load: a fresh clip hard-seeks ONCE to the exact position (was ~5s of
gentle nudge to eat a ~0.3s load offset); steady-state keeps the gentle nudge.
- Double buffer: warm the next clip a few s before the boundary -> instant
switch, no black hold. Android pre-decodes on a throwaway surface so the swap
doesn't flash one wrong-aspect (landscape-stretched) frame.
- In-place duration edits: duration_sec dropped from the change signature and
applied in place, so a duration edit re-anchors the schedule WITHOUT a restart.
- Live-log shows discrete corrections (jump/align/seek) immediately; only the
steady-state line is throttled.
Android
- Fix leaked WallController leader tick: onDestroy() now stops it (Handler on the
main looper outlived the Activity -> zombie broadcaster / split-brain).
Dashboard
- Group leader picker -> "Resync now" button.
Tests: heartbeat-ack clock fields + resync route; exit-signal .wgt slice realigned.

* feat(dashboard): version indicator + GHCR update check with admin panel
- Add server/lib/ghcr-check.js: GHCR tag poller (36h cache, semver filter)
- Extend /api/version with latest_version and update_available
- Add POST /api/admin/check-update (force GHCR poll)
- Add POST /api/admin/trigger-update (Docker compose or manual instructions)
- Sidebar footer: version label + amber badge when update available
- Admin > System: version comparison card with Check/Update buttons
- 14 new tests (10 unit + 4 integration), 68/68 passing
Closes#163
* fix(dashboard): gate trigger-update to platform-admin + add GHCR fetch timeout
Review follow-up on #165 (the two blockers):
- trigger-update runs `docker compose up -d` on the HOST via docker.sock
(root-equivalent) but was behind requireAdmin, i.e. reachable by any
workspace-level admin. On a multi-tenant host that's a customer, not the infra
operator. Gate it with requirePlatformAdmin (DOCKER_UPDATE_ENABLED still gates
it further). check-update stays requireAdmin — it's a read-only GHCR poll.
- ghcr-check.checkNow had no fetch timeout. Node's global fetch has no default
timeout, so a hung GHCR connection never settled — leaving `inFlight` set
forever (the finally never ran), which wedged the background poller AND hung
any awaited checkNow (/api/admin/check-update). Add a 10s AbortController
timeout on both requests so the try/catch/finally always fire.
All 405 server tests pass.

Lets an operator (or an MDM) own updates instead of the app self-installing, which
on managed panels shows a self-install confirm dialog over customer content
(#155). Three layered controls:
- GLOBAL (server): config.otaEnabled from OTA_ENABLED (default on). When off,
/api/update/check returns update_available:false, reason:ota_disabled_global —
the whole instance stops offering updates.
- PER-DEVICE (server + dashboard): new devices.ota_enabled column (default 1). When
0, that device is never offered an update (reason:ota_disabled_device). A
"Self-update (OTA)" toggle in the device settings flips it via PUT /api/devices/:id.
- AUTO-DETECT (Android): UpdateChecker stands down entirely when a foreign device
owner (an MDM/DPC) manages the panel — detected via getActiveAdmins() + not being
device owner ourselves. Pure client-side, errs safe, needs no server change.
The two server gates are enforced server-side so they cover EVERY client version,
not just ones with the client-side stand-down. When OTA is off the device still
reports its version (dashboard sees state); the MDM/operator owns the actual update.
For an MDM-managed fleet (e.g. Pivot/MAXHUB), turn OTA off and let the MDM push the
APK — the install-dialog race disappears from every angle.
Tests: +2 (per-device gate + a real OTA_ENABLED=false server for the global gate);
full server suite 393 pass; Android compiles.

When the web player socket reconnects before the device is paired,
register() omitted device_id and device_token (gated behind config.paired).
This caused the server's fingerprint reclaim guard to treat the reconnect
as a fresh anonymous registration with a colliding fingerprint, firing
device:auth-error.
Now device_id and device_token are sent whenever they exist, regardless
of paired status. The pairing code is also reused across reconnects
instead of generating a new random code each time.
Closes#163

The v4-exit-signal-phase3 tests eval a hardcoded LINE RANGE out of tizen/js/app.js
(harness(TIZEN, 663, 697)). The #162 stage-owner fix inserted ~19 lines above that

The server provisions a unique settings-menu PIN per device, but nothing surfaced
it — leaving the on-device hidden settings menu effectively unopenable. Show the
PIN on the device Info tab (native players only), with i18n across 6 locales.
Also backfill a unique 6-digit PIN for already-paired devices that predate the
settings_pin column, so the existing fleet isn't locked out (delivered on their
next reconnect via the existing device:paired re-send). Idempotent UPDATE.

GET /:id built the items array but never called schedulesForItem, so the playlist
editor rendered "always plays" for items that have a live schedule. Because the
editor re-PUTs whatever it loaded and PUT .../schedules is a wholesale
DELETE+INSERT, an unchanged save on a mis-loaded item silently wiped the real
schedule. Mirror GET /:id/items:351 so the read path returns the blocks the
editor and player already agree on.
Adds render / round-trip / wipe-trap regression tests (subprocess HTTP harness).

- Remove stray brace that broke compilation (MainActivity line 985)
- Server generates unique 6-digit PIN per device during pairing
- PIN stored in encrypted SharedPreferences (ServerConfig.settingsPin)
- Fallback: generate random PIN locally if server doesn't send one
- Include settings_pin in device:paired on pair + reconnect
- DB migration: settings_pin column on devices table
- Hint changed from hardcoded 0000 to generic 'PIN' string
* fix(preview): replace srcdoc with server-side preview sessions to bypass CSP
Widget previews (clock, weather, etc.) were rendered via iframe.srcdoc,
which inherits the dashboard CSP script-src 'self'. This blocked the inline
scripts widgets need (setInterval for clock, fetch for weather), causing
previews to show blank/static content.
Replace srcdoc with ephemeral server-side preview sessions:
- POST /api/widgets/preview-session — stores rendered HTML (Map, 5min TTL)
- GET /api/widgets/preview-session/:id — serves the HTML via iframe src,
bypassing CSP like the device render endpoint already does
The old /api/widgets/preview endpoint is unchanged for backward compat.
* fix(preview): add rate limiter for /preview-session route

The -patchN scheme (e.g. 1.9.2-patch3) parses as a semver prerelease, so decide()'s
superseded-prerelease guard refused to offer a newer stable core (1.9.3) to the existing fleet —
stranding every 1.9.2-patchN device on OTA (Force Update didn't help; the re-check re-returned
superseded-prerelease). isReleased() now counts -patchN as a shipped release, so those devices get
offered 1.9.3 via normal OTA, while GENUINE prereleases (-beta/-rc/-alpha) keep prerelease semantics
and newer cores are never downgraded. 6 new tests + 14 existing OTA tests green (388/388 suite).

CI flaked on the 300k-row prune non-blocking assert: a healthy chunked prune hit a 417ms max
event-loop gap on a shared runner, over the strict 250ms bar (the same test passed on the prior
commit; the release bump changed no logic). These probes exist to catch a MULTI-SECOND freeze (the
pre-fix whole-table sort froze 40-48s) — not to enforce a sub-300ms latency SLA — so a strict bar is
fragile under runner contention/GC. Widen both to <1500ms: still << "seconds" (catches any real
regression) but robust on CI. No production code changed.

The dashboard CSP (script-src 'self') blocked Cloudflare's Web Analytics beacon. Add the two exact
entries the beacon needs (both required — script-only loads but silently can't report):
- script-src: https://static.cloudflareinsights.com (beacon script loads)
- connect-src: https://cloudflareinsights.com (beacon POSTs analytics back)
Exact domains, no wildcards. connect-src already had 'wss:'/'ws:' (socket.io) + 'https:' — those stay,
so the dashboard socket is unaffected; the explicit CF domain documents intent and survives any future
tightening of the broad 'https:'.

Server-side keystone: the server now honors the v4 liveness contract uniformly across the MIXED
fleet (v4 + old pre-v4 + disconnected), all three clients depending on it.
- UNIFORM heartbeat-ack: emitted from the single shared device:heartbeat handler (uniform by
construction; no per-client/per-path branch), BEFORE the auth guard so a known device's watchdog
stays armed. Harmless to old clients (they ignore it).
- RECONNECT-WINDOW ack-gap fix (ackableHeartbeat): ack a KNOWN device (authed socket OR a device_id
that resolves) even mid-reconnect; NOT anonymous/never-authenticated sockets (degrade-safe);
identity-agnostic. No state mutation before requireDeviceAuth (auth surface unchanged; device_ids
are uuidv4).
- DASHBOARD LIVENESS (deriveLiveness): server-derived, VERSION-AGNOSTIC Healthy/Degraded/Offline
from signals every client sends (socket presence, heartbeat age, reconnect frequency); no client
status-push.
- IDENTITY CAPTURE (capture-don't-act): client_type/client_version/platform/contract_version columns;
degrades to legacy/unknown for old clients; NEVER breaks register.
- A-BUCKET FIX (QA): recordReconnect + persistIdentity gated on !isPlaylistRefresh (a ~45-60s refresh
is not a reconnect/new identity — matches #134), and the identity write is change-detected — closing
the WAL write-amplification (A1) and the benign-refresh -> false-"Degraded" (A2) regressions.
New lib/liveness.js (pure helpers, unit-tested). 30 new tests (uniform ack, ack-gap, mixed fleet,
identity capture, cross-client conformance, refresh-gate reproduce-then-prove); 366/366 total.
OTA artifact-availability is a separate concern (out of scope).

/player v4 — client-only (served web player). Brings the browser player onto the locked v4
liveness contract, IDENTICAL on the wire to the now-v4 APK and .wgt:
- v4 liveness watchdog: consume device:heartbeat-ack, lastServerMessageAt refreshes on ANY inbound
(onAny + engine ping) while ARMING gates on the ack (degrade-safe); 45s±10s jittered threshold;
backoff 1s/30s/±0.2 on the socket.io Manager; NO status/health poll; teardown-before-reopen (#148).
- Browser-specific half-open triggers (the /player-unique part): Page Visibility, sleep/resume
(pageshow/bfcache), network change (online) — all drive the SAME #148 teardown-first reconnect.
- THROTTLE-AWARE: silence computed by timestamp (not timer-fire-count); watchdog does NOT act while
the tab is HIDDEN (throttled-timer gap is expected); on becoming visible, verifyLivenessSoon()
resets the grace and reconnects ONLY if genuinely dead — never spuriously tears down a live socket.
- v4 client identity block on register (client_type=player / client_version / platform / v4).
Verified: arm-after-ack both directions, v4 values MATCH .wgt exactly, browser-trigger no-duplicate-
socket, throttle-aware reproduce-then-prove (real extracted checkLiveness/verifyLivenessSoon),
foreground-recovery one-socket. Depends on the server device:heartbeat-ack (core pass) — degrade-safe
until then.

Delete+re-pair mints a new device row whose INSERT omits every setting, silently resetting
orientation/name/playlist/etc to defaults (Bold MDM churn). Add a fingerprint-keyed
device_settings table (no FK to devices -> survives the cascade): snapshot on DELETE, auto-
restore on fingerprint-match re-pair (relinking the fp to the new id), operator re-adopt API
(GET /devices/removed + POST /devices/:id/re-adopt) for the changed-fingerprint case. Purge on
workspace/user/org deletion (no cross-tenant bleed). Orientation enum-validated on PUT + restore.
blocked preserved (re-enforced by the register kill-switch). Wall membership deferred (TODO).
Backend only — frontend re-adopt UI NOT built (awaiting API review). Local only, no bump/tag.
Close the disk-fill trap: with wal_autocheckpoint=0 a dead worker means nothing checkpoints.
Controller now respawns an unexpectedly-dead worker (bounded: RespawnMax/RespawnWindowMs +
backoff); on exhaustion it re-arms a conservative inline autocheckpoint (FallbackPages) on the
main connection + reclaims the backlog, logging loudly. Clean stopWalCheckpointer() teardown is
distinguished via a 'stopping' flag so SIGTERM never triggers respawn. Env-gated worker
fault-injection (WAL_CKPT_FAIL_START) for tests. Local only — no bump/tag.
Disable wal_autocheckpoint on the main connection; run PASSIVE checkpoints from a
worker_threads worker with its OWN better-sqlite3 handle, escalating to TRUNCATE on a
size high-water or PASSIVE-starvation. Removes the synchronous fsync-heavy checkpoint
from the event loop. Config: walCheckpointIntervalMs/HighWaterMB/StarvationRuns.
Local only — no bump/tag.
Field-safe SERVER net. A device opening duplicate/rapid sockets (the APK duplicate-socket bug,

undamped and each new socket evicts the prior). This makes the server absorb it: a thrashing
PAIRED device converges to ONE stable connection and stays online.
- lib/session-settle.js (decision only; bounded, swept): shouldHold(deviceId, incumbentAlive)
— true only when a socket was accepted for this device within SESSION_SETTLE_WINDOW_MS
(config, default 2500ms) AND the incumbent is alive. Warm-up-independent.
- deviceSocket register gate (just before evictPriorSocket): if a LIVE incumbent exists and
we're inside the window, SOFT-REFUSE the new socket (device:throttled reason=session_settle
+ disconnect) and keep the incumbent; else accept + evict + (re)arm the window.
- LIVENESS SAFEGUARD (load-bearing): only hold when the incumbent socket is actually in the
/device namespace — a dead/half-open incumbent is replaced, NEVER stranding the device (max
hold is the 2.5s window from the incumbent's accept, then any new socket is accepted).
- Soft refusal, NEVER a quarantine (reuses patch1's paired-safe philosophy); single-session
enforcement intact for a legitimate move; unpaired/abusive flapping still caught by the
existing limiters. O(1), no loop impact.
Tests (liveness first-class): live incumbent holds + DEAD incumbent replaced (not stranded);
storm of 6 sockets converges to ONE, stays online, not quarantined (during warm-up); single-
session move past the window replaces cleanly; unit decision + bounded sweep. The
evicted-socket-rearm test shrinks its settle window so it still exercises the eviction path.
Suite 336/336.
Item 2: when the heartbeat checker marks a device offline it now also disconnects any socket
it still holds for it, so DB-offline can't diverge from socket-state into a silent half-open
(defensive — the live-socket guard already defers genuinely-live sockets).
Item 3: tighten half-open detection WITHOUT reintroducing the TV-WebKit decode-load risk the
30s pong-timeout was chosen for — lower only pingInterval 30s->15s (probe more often), KEEP
pingTimeout at 30s. Detection = interval+timeout = 45s (was 60s), and the client inherits
these via the handshake so BOTH ends detect a dead peer ~25% sooner. (Deliberately did NOT
drop pingTimeout to ~20s: MAXHUB is a video-playing TV-class device and the code comment
warns tighter timeouts cause spurious drops under decode load.)
Item 4: SO_KEEPALIVE on every accepted connection (lib/tcp-keepalive.js) so a half-open TCP
can't persist indefinitely at the OS layer, independent of the app ping.
Tests: server closes a non-ponging peer within ~pingInterval+pingTimeout while a ponging peer
survives; a device whose transport dies ends offline with its connection torn down; keepalive
applied to each accepted connection (and never breaks setup on error). Suite 328/328.
The flap-limiter could 30-min quarantine a PAIRED, legitimate device on reconnect churn.
Behind Bold's single SNAT IP a repeated edge flush -> every device reconnects -> trips flap
-> quarantined -> a recoverable blip becomes a SUSTAINED FLEET-WIDE LOCKOUT we caused.
check(key, now, {paired}) now skips (and clears) the quarantine escalation for a paired
device — it still gets the brief soft cooldown if it truly hammers, but never the long
lockout. The register gate computes paired = device_id && validateDeviceToken(...) (a
matching STORED token, false for missing/mismatch) so a spoofed device_id can't claim the
exemption; unpaired/anon flapping (attacker / unprovisioned hammering) still quarantines.
Tests: unpaired flapper still quarantined; paired never quarantined (soft cooldown only);
paired creds RELEASE an in-flight quarantine; N paired devices from one SNAT IP all admitted
on reconnect and never quarantined across repeated flush cycles.
Live error: "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: PlayerMediaHealth.shouldShowIdle is not a
function" inside the device:paired socket handler.
WHAT WAS ACTUALLY WRONG: not a missing/misnamed definition — the module DOES export
shouldShowIdle (served + unit-tested). It's a VERSION SKEW: /player/* is served network-first
by the service worker, so a transient module-fetch failure falls back to the STALE cache (an
older player-media-health.js that predates shouldShowIdle) while index.html loads fresh with
the call. window.PlayerMediaHealth then exists but lacks the method, and the call site
guarded the OBJECT (`window.PlayerMediaHealth ? ...`) not the METHOD — so it threw, aborting
the rest of the device:paired handler (the showStatus after it was skipped).
FIX: guard the METHOD at both call sites (typeof X.method === 'function') so a stale/partial
module can never throw — it falls back to the safe inline default (!isPlaying for the idle
decision) and the handler runs to completion.
SIBLING (errors travel in pairs): the needsReattach call in the "Playlist unchanged" branch
had the SAME object-not-method guard. It was inside a try/catch so it couldn't throw uncaught,
but a stale module would silently skip the re-attach/hideStatus. Guarded it the same way.
No service-worker change needed: network-first already self-heals on the next good load; the
method-guard covers the transient/offline-fallback skew permanently.
Tests: player-media-health.test.js +1 module-surface test (both needsReattach and
shouldShowIdle are exported functions — catches the define-vs-call class). Inline player JS
syntax-checked; both guards verified present. Suite 319/319.

CONFIRMED from a live console capture (restore cache -> video plays -> reconnect ->
"Playlist unchanged" -> screen falls to "Waiting for content..."). Audio survived because
only the "showing content" VIEW was covered, not the audio path.
ROOT CAUSE: the server re-emits device:paired on EVERY re-register of an already-paired
device (ws/deviceSocket.js:510) — i.e. on every reconnect, while content is already playing.
The player's device:paired handler called showStatus('Waiting for content...') UNCONDITIONALLY
(the "falls through to idle" sibling), putting the idle overlay OVER the live video. The
following device:playlist-update -> "Playlist unchanged" branch returned early and never
cleared it, so the idle screen stuck on top of playing content.
FIX (idle screen only when genuinely idle; unchanged is a strict no-op that keeps playback):
- lib/player-media-health.js: new shouldShowIdle(state) — idle ONLY when nothing is playing
AND there's genuinely no content. Already-playing (or content-present-about-to-render) is
never idle.
- device:paired handler: gate showStatus on shouldShowIdle({isPlaying, hasContent}) instead
of showing it unconditionally. On a reconnect while playing -> no-op.
- "Playlist unchanged" branch: when healthy playback is confirmed, hideStatus() to clear any
stale idle overlay a reconnect's device:paired may have put up — so the confirmation can
never leave "Waiting for content..." over live content. Still leaves the actual media
element exactly as-is (no teardown, no flicker).
- sw.js cache v10 -> v11.
SIBLING SCAN: device:paired was the only unconditional idle reset. The connect() idle
prompts (connecting / connecting_muted) were already guarded by !isPlaying; empty-playlist
and no-renderable idles are genuine.
Tests: player-media-health.test.js +2 (shouldShowIdle: playing never idle; idle only when
empty+not-playing). Inline player JS syntax-checked; module served + guard referenced on a
booted server. Suite 318/318.

ROOT CAUSE (hypothesis A, pre-existing — NOT a beta7 regression; server/player/index.html
is untouched since v1.9.2-beta6): handlePlaylistUpdate's "Playlist unchanged" branch blindly
returned. The media re-attach (renderContent) lives ONLY in the content-changed branch, so
if the <video> surface was lost (element detached from the DOM while still decoding — video
gone, audio still playing) a no-new-content refresh never re-attached it. New-content
refreshes were fine because they re-render.
FIX (make the refresh idempotent for the media surface, no flicker on the healthy path):
- server/lib/player-media-health.js (new, UMD + unit-testable, mirrors schedule-eval.js):
needsReattach(state) — re-attach ONLY when playback should be happening but the current
item's surface is actually lost (video null / detached / ended / errored; non-video: no
mounted surface). A healthy attached+live video returns false, so a routine poll stays a
no-op (no re-render, no flicker). Served at /player/player-media-health.js from the single
source; loaded by the player.
- index.html no-change branch: extract the current item's DOM facts and, iff
PlayerMediaHealth.needsReattach, call playCurrentItem() to re-render the current item.
Wrapped so the health check can never break a refresh.
- teardownCurrentMedia: also release currentVideoEl even when it was DETACHED from the
container — a detached-but-playing <video> keeps emitting audio and the container-scoped
querySelectorAll can't find it. This kills the "ghost audio" on re-attach.
- sw.js cache bumped v9 -> v10 so players pick up the new index.html + module.
Tests: test/player-media-health.test.js (6) exercises the branch selection — healthy video
-> no re-attach; detached/null/ended/errored -> re-attach; idle -> never; non-video by
surface presence. Inline player JS syntax-checked; module served + referenced verified on a
booted server. Suite 316/316.

The billing:read scope + dual-path gate were built but there was no way to MINT a token
(and it must NOT go in the workspace-scoped, self-service API-Tokens UI). Adds a server-side,
owner-only CLI — no new UI, no network endpoint. Owner-only BY CONSTRUCTION: it's a
host-side script, so filesystem/shell access = the platform owner.
- server/lib/billing-token.js (testable): mintBillingToken/revokeBillingToken/
listBillingTokens. Reuses the EXACT existing token path — same secret (st_ + 32 bytes
base64url), same SHA-256 hashing (hashToken), same api_tokens columns — no second format.
Resolves the platform OWNER (oldest platform_admin/superadmin; #14 collapsed superadmin ->
platform_admin so that's the top tier) and binds to their workspace. api_tokens.user_id +
workspace_id are BOTH NOT NULL (no platform-level token exists); the workspace binding is
VESTIGIAL for billing (billing:read is off-ladder -> can't reach any workspace router;
billing is platform-global), documented in-file rather than loosening NOT NULL pre-release.
- scripts/mint-billing-token.js: thin CLI wrapper. --name mints and prints the secret ONCE
(+ id, + "run as owner on host" warning), --list, --revoke <id> (soft revoke, mirrors the
dashboard DELETE).
Tests (4, test/billing-token-mint.test.js): minted row is scope EXACTLY billing:read with a
matching SHA-256 hash and no read/write/full/agency scope; the token reads GET
/api/billing/usage (200) but is refused on /api/devices (403) and /api/admin (401) — scope
isolation; revocation -> 401; mint requires a name; revoke refuses a non-billing id. CLI
smoked live (mint/list/revoke). Suite 310/310.
SPEC-vs-REALITY (again): spec said bcrypt + JSON `scopes`; this codebase uses SHA-256 + a
single `scope` TEXT column. Built to the real system.

Least-privilege way to read GET /api/billing/usage without requiring platform admin.
Additive + isolated: reuses the existing api_tokens scope system (the off-ladder 'agency'
scope is the precedent) and does NOT touch the shared role/permission checks other
endpoints rely on.
- New off-ladder scope 'billing:read' (routes/tokens.js SCOPES). Like 'agency' it is NOT
on the read<write<full ladder, so tokenScopeGate rejects a billing token on every
PUBLIC_ROUTER and JWT-only routers reject any st_ token -> the scope grants billing-read
and NOTHING else.
- DUAL-PATH gate requireBillingRead (middleware/apiToken.js), written as an EXPLICIT OR:
authorize if (billing:read token) OR (platform-admin session). Admins keep read access
but are NOT required to; the token path doesn't lock out admins or vice versa. Billing
route now mounted with bearerAuth (token OR JWT front door) + requireBillingRead (was
requireAuth + requirePlatformAdmin).
- MINTING is platform-admin only (stricter than read/write/full/agency, which any
workspace member may mint) since a billing:read token grants GLOBAL billing-read. Note:
no finer "owner" tier exists here (#14 collapsed superadmin->platform_admin), so
PLATFORM_ROLES is the top level required.
Tests (5, test/billing-authz.test.js): dual-path positive (token AND admin session both
200) + negative (user 403 / anon 401); scope isolation (billing token 403 on /api/devices,
401 on /api/admin; read token 200 on devices but 403 on billing); minting owner-only
(user + ordinary-admin 403, platform-admin 201); revocation -> 401. Existing token
firewall/partition suite (api.test.js) + billing-endpoint tests unchanged & green. Reused
the exact SHA-256 token-verification path (no bcrypt/new mechanism). Suite 306/306.
NOTE: spec described bcrypt + JSON `scopes` + an analytics:read precedent; this codebase
actually uses SHA-256 + a single `scope` TEXT column + 'agency' as the off-ladder
precedent. Implemented faithfully to the real system.

Implements the ByteTinker-Bold distribution-agreement billing math and surfaces it on a
standalone admin-only route. No UI (the API figure is the deliverable). Server-side only.
Contract math (lib/billing.js, config-driven; defaults ARE the agreement):
- ASD (per device/day) = min(1.0, online_seconds / (hours*3600)) # 28800 default
- BillableScreens (per month) = round-half-up( Sum ASD / days_in_month )
- Flat tier (not marginal): 1-499 $1.50 / 500-999 $1.25 / 1000+ $1.00; cost = screens*rate.
Single global rate card for now (per-tenant is a future concern; noted in code).
Data foundation:
- New durable rollup device_usage_daily(device_id, day 'YYYY-MM-DD', online_seconds),
index on day. status_log (3d) / telemetry (24h) can't back a billing month.
- Accumulated INCREMENTALLY off the heartbeat tick from the live connection map (same
source as devices_connected) - never reconstructed from logs. Each tick credits every
connected device's today-row (min(86400, +elapsed)), chunked + transactional (non-blocking);
per-tick credit capped (accrualCapSeconds) as a stall/restart guard.
- Retention ~400d, pruned via chunked-prune (pruneUsageDaily in runMaintenance).
API: GET /api/billing/usage?month=YYYY-MM (default current), requirePlatformAdmin, mounted
SEPARATELY from /api/status (billing is revenue data + a heavier aggregate; must not touch
the hot status path). Reads the rollup only. MTD figure averages over COMPLETED days only
(today shown in `daily` but excluded until it completes); is_final + billable_screens_final
appear once the month completes.
Tests (12): ASD math; billable round-half-up; flat tier/cost boundaries; accumulator
(accrues by interval, caps at 86400/day, disconnected doesn't accrue); report MTD-excludes-
today + final-month is_final; retention prune; endpoint authz (admin 200 / non-admin 403 /
anon 401) + billing absent from /api/status. Suite 301/301. First-full-month caveat +
formula in docs/billing.md.

1. devices_connected (always on, never gated): a top-level /api/status field next to
loop_lag = LIVE WS socket count from the heartbeat connection map (getConnectedCount),
NOT devices.status='online' (which lags by the offline-timeout). The single
most-glanced operational number, so it can't disappear when debug is off. Also dropped
4 dead per-poll COUNT(*) queries the route computed but never returned.
2. debug block behind an admin flag: new minimal app_settings KV table (none existed;
ai_settings is per-workspace, white_labels is branding) + lib/app-settings.js (cached,
refresh-on-write so status polls read a cached boolean, not a DB row).
routes/status.js includes `debug` ONLY when status_debug_enabled is on (persisted value
overrides the STATUS_DEBUG_ENABLED env default); when off the key is omitted entirely.
3. Admin toggle: GET/PUT /api/admin/status-debug (requirePlatformAdmin, mirrors the
branding endpoints) + a checkbox in the Admin tab "Status endpoint" section
(mirrors the branding checkbox). Takes effect on the next poll, no restart.
Tests: devices_connected always present+numeric and rises with a live socket (booted +
socket.io-client); debug present by default, admin flips OFF -> key omitted (loop_lag +
devices_connected remain) -> ON again, no restart; non-admin 403, anon 401; unit coverage
for getConnectedCount + app-settings default/override. Suite 289/289.

The debug block exposed only gauges (buckets, quarantined, inFlight) — state, not work.
A real flapping Firestick reads as flap.buckets:36, quarantined:0, indistinguishable
from healthy. Add lightweight in-memory throughput counters (total + last-completed
rolling window) so the server tells the flapper/flood story itself.
- lib/rolling-counter.js: shared bounded scalar counter (total, curWindow, lastWindow,
windowStart); rolls lazily on bump AND read (no timer), idle decays to 0.
DEBUG_STATS_WINDOW_MS default 60000.
- flap-limiter: refused{Total,LastWindow} (every allow:false), quarantineStarts{Total,
LastWindow} (a quarantine event stays visible after the gauge decays).
- ota-breaker: stats() rateBackoff{Total,LastWindow}.
- ota-download-guard: servedTotal/shedTotal alongside the per-window values.
- database: maintenance sweepsTotal (confirm the prune is firing, not stalled).
- routes/status: debug block gains ota_breaker + the new fields (aggregate-only, cheap).
Tests: rolling-counter window-roll + idle decay; each counter increments on the right
event; booted /api/status asserts the new fields present + numeric. Suite 285/285.
Fallout doc: observability section lists the fields + what each tells a soak-watcher.

The storm harness asserted a tick COUNT (environment-timing-sensitive) that could flake
in CI. Kept the real invariant (max event-loop gap < 300ms) and loosened the tick
assertion to >=2 (enough to have measured a real gap), which cannot flake.

Expose the new internal states so we can SEE the limiters biting during the alpha soak
instead of grepping logs. /api/status now carries debug: {
flap: {buckets, quarantined},
ota_download: {inFlight, servedThisWindow, shedThisWindow, windowCount},
maintenance: {deleted, ms, at, running}, // last status-log prune
log_coalescer_buffer,
}. Aggregate counts only (no device ids/secrets), cheap in-memory reads. stats()
added to flap-limiter + ota-download-guard (singleton prod state), getMaintenanceStats
from database. Asserted in the booted /api/status test.

The coalesced loop-lag summary carried an arbitrary sample's p99. Now record() tracks
the MAX (peak) over the window and the summary emits it — the peak is the number that
matters during an incident: '[loop-lag] band=critical (x47 in 30s, peak 1502ms)'. Band
CHANGES still log immediately, unchanged.

Booting against a pre-bloated 300k-row device_status_log, /api/status answers in <3s
while the table is still large (chunked startup prune trickling in the background), and
the backlog drains to the cap with the server responsive throughout. The old whole-table
sort froze boot ~40s. Fallout doc gets the P2 findings section.

Investigated the fleet-wide simultaneous reconnect concern. buildPlaylistPayload is
synchronous but cheap: measured avg 0.078ms / max 0.70ms per call with a 200-item
snapshot; 230 devices = ~18ms CPU spread across 230 separate handler invocations (the
loop yields between them), never one block. Per-call << 50ms invariant. No change
needed; documented with the measured number.

Block is a real lever now, so cover the authz path. Booted server + JWT; device and a
viewer membership seeded via the DB file. Proves POST /api/devices/:id/{block,unblock}:
owner (workspace_admin) -> 200; unauthenticated -> 401; cross-workspace user -> 403;
workspace_viewer -> 403 (read-only), with the DB blocked column asserted at each step.

Every new subsystem is disable-able via env (flip + restart, no redeploy/bisect):
- FLAP_LIMITER_ENABLED=false -> flap limiter always allows.
- OTA_DOWNLOAD_GUARD_ENABLED=false -> download guard always admits.
- MAINTENANCE_BAND_GATE_ENABLED=false -> interval maintenance ignores band.
- CONNECT_RATE_QUARANTINE_TRIPS=0 -> quarantine off (already; confirmed).
Startup prune is never band-gated regardless. Kill switches table added to the fallout
doc. Tests assert each OFF behaviour.

A fixed OTA_DOWNLOAD_MAX_CONCURRENT=10 throttled a legitimate coordinated rollout even
on a perfectly healthy server, and a shed 503 costs a client a full ~30-min re-check
cycle. Made the download guard's concurrency + rate caps band-aware:
- normal -> serve FREELY (no cap): a whole-fleet rollout isn't staggered when healthy
- elevated -> the configured caps engage (early backpressure)
- critical -> shed 503 (the real protection, unchanged)
Kill switch OTA_DOWNLOAD_GUARD_ENABLED=false disables it entirely.
Tests updated: normal serves 50/50 with 0 shed; caps + shed now asserted under elevated;
storm harness OTA flood runs under elevated (the loaded state). Suite green.
