A fresh unclaimed player that reconnects (same fingerprint) INSIDE the server's
~5s deferred-offline grace hit a false 'active on another connection' reclaim
reject, then collided on UNIQUE(devices.pairing_code) on the fall-through INSERT
and wedged unclaimed with no content. Real trial customer (web player) hit it.
server/ws/deviceSocket.js:
- Fix A (guard): gate the liveConn reclaim reject on !inDeferredOffline
(pendingOfflines.has(id)). A device mid-deferred-offline is a zombie, not live,
so a same-fingerprint reconnect is a legit reconnect, not a hijack. A genuinely
live socket (never disconnected -> no pending-offline) still rejects a cloned
fingerprint -> anti-hijack boundary preserved (documented).
- Fix B (idempotency): when the unclaimed old row holds the SAME pairing_code the
reconnecting player presents, ADOPT/refresh it (mirror the claimed-reclaim path,
but no device:paired) instead of INSERT-colliding. Differing-code case unchanged.
- deferOffline is NOT shrunk (it exists to prevent transient-blip flapping).
server/player/index.html:
- The cold-boot flap source: an unfiltered pageshow handler ran verifyLivenessSoon()
on every load, opening+registering a socket early, which the boot connect() then
tore down and rebuilt (connect->register->disconnect->reconnect). Guard it with
ev.persisted (mirror the pagehide guard) so only real bfcache restores trigger it.
server/test/pairing-race.test.js:
- Forces the race against the real socket server (log-gated reconnect inside the
deferred-offline window), asserts no false reject / no UNIQUE collision / single
claimable row; + a hijack case asserting a cloned fingerprint on a genuinely-live
display is still rejected. Web- and android-shaped fingerprints. Fails 2/4 on
pre-fix code, 4/4 with the fix.

The hidden-settings PIN box (2x back) and the change-server URL dialog couldn't be
typed into on kiosk devices: a plain AlertDialog shown over the player's
SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY activity never gains window focus, so the soft
keyboard doesn't attach and the EditText gets no cursor. On a panel/Fire TV with
no hardware keyboard that means the PIN can't be entered at all. Pre-existing
(showPinDialog unchanged since it was added; immersive flags since the initial
release) — surfaces on tier-0 kiosk devices where immersive is active.
Fix: shared showImeDialog() applies the standard immersive-dialog IME workaround —
mark the dialog NOT_FOCUSABLE before show() (so it doesn't steal focus and reset
the activity's immersive flags), mirror the immersive systemUiVisibility onto the
dialog, then clear NOT_FOCUSABLE after show() so the IME can attach, force
SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE, and requestFocus the field. Routed both the PIN
and change-server dialogs through it.
Compiles (:app:compileDebugKotlin). IME behavior needs a real tier-0 device to
confirm (can't be exercised headless).

Symptom 1's 'stuck on first load, fixed by toggling the playlist' is stale
download backoff. On a fresh device the first downloads fail while the link is
settling; DownloadCoordinator escalates an exponential backoff (15s..5min cap),
and ensure() then SKIPS those items. The 60s playlist refresh re-fires
onPlaylistUpdate but ensure() still skips them, and backoff was only ever cleared
by forget() (content-delete) — never by a re-assignment. So the item stays stuck
until the 5-min window happens to lapse; toggling the playlist is just a manual
way to wait it out.
Fix (storm-safe — neither reset fires on the routine same-playlist 60s refresh):
1. DownloadCoordinator.resetBackoff(id) / resetAllBackoff() — clear attempts +
nextAttemptAt but KEEP inFlight (single-flight preserved, no duplicate .part).
2. onPlaylistUpdate resets backoff for each item ONLY when the content-id
signature changed (first load, reassignment, toggle-back), then ensures — so a
genuine (re)assignment retries immediately. Same-signature 60s refresh -> no
reset -> the retry-storm guard stays intact.
3. Network onAvailable (was onLost-only) -> resetAllBackoff() + requestPlaylistRefresh,
so content that failed while the link was settling retries the moment real
connectivity arrives.
Tests: DownloadCoordinatorTest — resetBackoff/resetAllBackoff re-attempt a
backed-off item before the clock advances; existing backoff/single-flight tests
unchanged. :app:testDebugUnitTest green.

Vertical Shorts were played in a player forced to 100%x100% on a landscape
frame, so they looked wrong (pillarboxed/small). Option A: detect vertical at
ingest, persist it, and have every player honor it.
- Ingest (routes/content.js): detect a Short from the /shorts/ URL form OR
portrait oEmbed dims (oEmbed now queried with the ORIGINAL url so /shorts/
reports its true dimensions), and persist it as st_aspect=vertical on the
stored embed URL. That's the only signal players get (remote_url), so it must
be captured at ingest, not re-derived per loop. YouTube ignores the unknown
param; players read the video id, not the full URL, to build the embed.
- Players read st_aspect=vertical and center a 9:16 box (fills a portrait screen,
pillarboxes cleanly on landscape) instead of 100%x100%:
web (player/index.html), Android (WebViewSupport.youtubeEmbedHtml), Tizen
(player.js single-zone + zone paths). Dashboard library uses a static thumbnail,
so it's unaffected.
Not doing Option B (yt-dlp): runtime dep + storage/bandwidth + maintenance +
YouTube ToS; embed-disabled Shorts already skip gracefully.
Tests: youtube-shorts.test.js (4) — /shorts/ and portrait-dims tag vertical,
landscape stays untagged, /shorts/ tags even if oEmbed fails. Android compiles;
web player inline JS + Tizen player.js parse.
Note: pre-existing Shorts added before this aren't retagged (would need an oEmbed
backfill) — re-add to fix, or a follow-up migration.

* feat(widgets): add directory-search widget
An interactive, walk-up search view of an existing directory-board. It
references a source board by id (no data copy), so a venue can run the
scrolling board on a main screen and a search view on a tablet, letting
people find an entry instantly.
Server (routes/widgets.js):
- register 'directory-search' + renderDirectorySearch(): resolves the source
board, inlines its categories as one \u003c-guarded JSON blob, renders all
text via textContent (XSS-safe), live case-insensitive filter over
identifier/name/subtitle (debounced), grouped results, available styling,
optional touch on-screen QWERTY keyboard that drives the same filter path.
- missing / non-directory-board source -> friendly full-page fallback, not a 500.
- live-sync while open is out of scope; left a // TODO for a poll hook.
Frontend editor (views/widgets.js): type + magnifier icon, source-board
dropdown (from loaded widgets, filtered to directory-board), title, logo
(reuses the board's picker), placeholder text, theme, on-screen-keyboard toggle;
getConfigFromForm case. i18n: widget.dirsearch.* + type keys in en/es/it/de/pt/fr.
docs: openapi widget_type enum. Tests: server/test/directory-search.test.js.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(widgets): live-sync for directory-search (poll source board, no reload)
Reflect directory-board edits on an open directory-search page without a reload.
- New public GET /api/widgets/:id/data.json returns { categories } for a
directory-board (404 for missing/wrong-type so the page keeps last-good data
on a transient miss). CORS-open (ACAO:*) + no-store so a null-origin sandboxed
widget iframe can read it; exposes only data already public via /render.
Exempted from CSP + auth in server.js alongside /render.
- directory-search page inlines its source_widget_id and polls the board's
data.json every 30s via a relative URL (works behind a proxy/base path and
from a null-origin iframe). Only rebuilds + rerenders when the data actually
changed, so a mid-search view isn't disturbed; skips while document.hidden;
keeps last-good data on any fetch error. Flatten logic factored into
buildFlat() and reused by the poll.
Tests: data.json feed (categories, CORS header, 404s) + poll wiring in
directory-search.test.js (13/13). Verified live in a browser (page.clock
fast-forward): editing the board updates the search page with no reload.

* fix(android): let player WebViews take touch focus for interactive widgets
directory-search is served through the existing generic widget path
(loadUrl <server>/api/widgets/:id/render), so it already renders on Android
with JS + DOM storage + mixed-content enabled, same-origin (so its live-sync
fetch of the source board's data.json works), and no touch blocking.
Add isFocusable/isFocusableInTouchMode to the shared WebView config so the
search field reliably takes a tap/cursor inside the kiosk lock-task WebView.
Harmless for passive widgets (board/YouTube have no focusable inputs); the
widget's own on-screen keyboard still drives the filter when the system IME
is suppressed. Verified with :app:compileDebugKotlin.

#182 shipped hydrateAuthImages() loading every thumbnail immediately, which
regressed the content-library grid from lazy to eager (a fetch per thumbnail on
render) and left the IntersectionObserver as dead code.
Restore lazy-by-default (observe-only) so large grids only fetch thumbnails as
they scroll into view, and add an { eager: true } opt-in for the transient
pickers where every item is on screen and immediate load reads better: the
device assign-content modal, the playlist add-item modal, and the widget
content picker. Grids and inline lists (content library, playlist items, device
playlist tab, directory logo/background) use the lazy default.
Behavior for those pickers is unchanged; only the large grids revert to the
lazy loading they had before #182.

* fix(dashboard): use data-auth-src for thumbnail images in modals and views
Plain <img src> tags can't send the Bearer token, causing 403 on
/api/content/:id/thumbnail. Extracted loadAuthImage/hydrateAuthImages
from content-library.js into utils.js and applied the data-auth-src
pattern to playlists, device-detail, and widgets views.
Closes thumbnail rendering in:
- Playlist items list and add-item modal
- Device assignment list and assign-content modal
- Widget content picker, logo, and background images
* fix(dashboard): add requestAnimationFrame fallback for auth image hydration
The IntersectionObserver callback fires asynchronously and may miss
images on first render when the DOM layout isn't settled yet. Add a
rAF fallback that manually loads any still-unloaded images visible
within the viewport (same 300px margin as the observer).
* fix(dashboard): load visible auth images synchronously, not via observer
getBoundingClientRect() forces layout synchronously so visible images
load immediately. IntersectionObserver is now only used for lazy-
loading off-screen images. This eliminates the async timing gap on
first render where neither the observer callback nor rAF would fire.
* fix(dashboard): load all auth images immediately, skip visibility check
Simplifies hydrateAuthImages to load every img[data-auth-src] directly.
loadAuthImage deletes the attribute so observer double-fire is safe.
This eliminates any possible IntersectionObserver/BoundingClientRect
timing issues on first render.
* debug: add console logs to trace auth image hydration flow
* fix(dashboard): hydrate auth images in device detail initial load
loadDevice() renders the playlist tab with data-auth-src images
but never called hydrateAuthImages. Only the playlist-switch path
(line 1022) had the hydrate call. Added hydrateAuthImages to the
initial contentEl.innerHTML render so thumbnails load on first view.
* chore: remove debug logs, final clean version
raspberry-pi-setup.sh bundled `chromium-browser` into the X11 apt-get install.
That package name only exists on Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu; on Debian it's
`chromium`, so the combined install hard-failed and `set -e` aborted the whole
installer on any Debian-based player.
Split Chromium out of the bundle into an install_chromium() helper that tries
`chromium-browser` then falls back to `chromium` (no-op if already present).
CHROMIUM_BIN detection already resolved either binary. Found by running the
installer end-to-end on a Debian arm64 VM (QEMU) standing in for a Pi.

* feat(dashboard): show version loading indicator and fire poll immediately
- Show "Verificando..." while /api/version resolves on first load
- Fire first version poll immediately instead of waiting 15s
- Fallback to "-" when version is unavailable
* i18n: localize the version-check loading label
The sidebar version indicator hard-coded the Spanish string 'Verificando...',
shipping it to every user regardless of locale. Route it through i18n instead:
new 'common.checking' key (en: 'Checking...', es: 'Verificando...'); all other
locales fall back to the English canonical, matching the rest of the UI.

Bold Media Group's fleet broke on the 1.9.3->1.9.6 upgrade. Their MDM does an
uninstall/reinstall (app data wiped), so the player registers with
{ pairing_code, fingerprint } and NO device_id and shows a pairing code — but the
dashboard reported "code does not exist". Deleting the device_fingerprints row fixed
it, which pinpointed the fingerprint-reclaim guard in server/ws/deviceSocket.js.
Root cause: the reclaim guard was
`stillAlive = !!liveConn || secondsSince < reclaimSettleSeconds; if (stillAlive) reject`.
On an in-place reinstall the old row heartbeat seconds ago, so `secondsSince < 300` is
ALWAYS true -> it emitted device:auth-error and returned BEFORE the pairing_code INSERT,
so the code the player displayed never existed server-side.
The settle window's real purpose was to REMATCH an existing fingerprint back to its
device row on reinstall — not to force a fresh re-pair. So the fix keys off claim status,
not the timer (server-only; no APK change — reviewed and confirmed unnecessary):
- Reject ONLY when the old row has a genuinely LIVE socket (liveConn) — the real anti-
hijack boundary. Unchanged.
- CLAIMED old row (user_id set) -> RECLAIM it regardless of the settle window: reuse the
row, rotate the token, emit device:registered{online} + device:paired. The panel returns
straight to paired (no operator re-pair, no orphaned duplicate row), preserving name /
claim / playlist / content. device:paired drives the app off the pairing screen, so the
fresh code it showed is irrelevant.
- UNCLAIMED old row -> fall through to the pairing_code path and PROVISION FRESH with the
shown code (reclaiming would leave a stale/null code -> "code does not exist"). #150
relinks the fingerprint to the new row.
`reclaimSettleSeconds` is now vestigial for this path. Trade-off: a fingerprint-only reclaim
of a CLAIMED-but-offline device is no longer delayed ~300s — not a new attack class (the old
code already granted it once the window elapsed); liveConn remains the hard boundary. Truly
closing that window without a re-pair needs client keystore attestation (a future APK).
Also fixes a latent crash this newly exercises: middleware/subscription.js getUserPlan()
dereferenced an undefined user in its else branch ("Cannot set properties of undefined
(setting 'trial_active')") when the user/plan JOIN missed. Under the claimed-reclaim path
that ran checkDeviceAccess->getUserPlan, the throw was swallowed by the reclaim try/catch and
silently dropped the device to provision-fresh. Guard: `if (!user) return null`.
Tests (server/test/fingerprint-reclaim.test.js):
- NEW: a CLAIMED reinstall reclaims the SAME row, emits device:paired, creates no duplicate,
keeps the fingerprint linked — regardless of the settle window (the Bold repro, fixed right).
- NEW: recent heartbeat + no live socket, UNCLAIMED -> provisions fresh with the shown code.
- NEW: a LIVE old socket still rejects and creates no new row (security preserved).
- Updated the #143 gone-device test to expect provision-fresh for an unclaimed row, and the
log-noise assertion to the "reclaim rejected" message.
465/465 server tests pass. Server-only: NOT deployed, no version bump, Android untouched.

Adds a pluggable email transport so self-hosters without Azure/M365 can send
mail through any standard SMTP server (Postfix, Gmail, Mailgun, SendGrid, corp
relay). Graph stays the default; behavior is byte-for-byte unchanged when
EMAIL_TRANSPORT is unset or "graph".
- config: EMAIL_TRANSPORT ("graph"|"smtp", default graph) + SMTP_HOST/PORT/
SECURE/USER/PASSWORD/FROM.
- services/email.js: branch by transport behind the SAME public sendEmail()/
isConfigured() surface. SMTP via nodemailer (lazy-required, like MSAL).
Shared across both transports: the "[ScreenTinker] " subject prefix (unless
rawSubject), the GRAPH_DEV_RESTRICT_TO allow-list, html-from-text derivation,
and the never-throws contract (failures log + return sent:false). SMTP_SECURE
true=implicit TLS(465)/false=STARTTLS(587). Auth optional (unauthenticated
relay ok); SMTP_USER without SMTP_PASSWORD is flagged. SMTP_FROM parses
"Name <addr>". New emailConfigStatus() for startup diagnostics.
- server.js: startup logs the transport and a LOUD error when the selected
transport is partially configured (some fields set, others missing) or when
EMAIL_TRANSPORT is invalid (falls back to graph). A fully-unset transport
stays a silent stdout fallback (unchanged dev behavior).
- nodemailer ^6.9.16 added as a production dep (bundled in the Docker image).
- .env.example + README: SMTP config section, Gmail example, transport table.
- test/email-transport.test.js: 15 tests — transport selection, config
validation (missing/partial/invalid), SMTP message building (from/prefix/
fromName override/text alt), sendEmail routing (mocked nodemailer), rawSubject,
dev-restrict on smtp, and the smtp_error never-throws path.
462/462 server tests pass. Boot verified for all four states (configured,
misconfigured, invalid, default).
Closes#173

express.static runs with index:false, so a bare /integrations/ fell through to the
SPA catch-all and rendered the dashboard login instead of the integrations hub — the
top-nav "Integrations" link, the canonical, and the sitemap entry all dead-ended at
login. Add an explicit route (like /agency, /sitemap.xml): /integrations/ -> the hub's
index.html, and /integrations -> 301 /integrations/. Spoke pages are real .html files
already served by static. Folded into a re-cut of v1.9.6.

(targeted at the nav Compare→Sign-In boundary; breadcrumbs untouched).
- Contextually cross-link the 6 integration spokes from the what-is and

- Remove the public "Status" footer link to /api/status from landing.html
(endpoint stays for the admin panel + healthcheck; just not advertised).

Bold field report: portrait video on Tizen = black screen. Root cause: our orientation
support rotates #stage with a CSS transform, but on Tizen the HTML5 <video> is composited
on a HARDWARE video plane that ignores CSS rotate — so portrait/flipped video blacks out
(images/widgets/text rotate fine). It's a Tizen platform limitation, not a regression.
Fix: route portrait / portrait-flipped VIDEO through Tizen AVPlay, whose setDisplayRotation
rotates the hardware plane itself. Scoped to portrait/flipped ONLY — landscape keeps the
proven HTML5 <video> path (double-buffer + group-sync drift), so the working case is untouched.
- index.html: <object id="avPlayer" type="application/avplayer"> hole-punch surface (hidden
until a portrait video plays; off-hardware it's inert).
- player.js: setOrientation()/avAvailable(); renderVideoAv() (open/setDisplayRect/
setDisplayRotation 90|270/setDisplayMethod LETTER_BOX/prepareAsync/play; onstreamcompleted
-> loop|advance); avStop() torn down in clearStage() before every render; renderVideo()
branches to AVPlay only for portrait/flipped when webapis.avplay exists.
- Graceful: any AVPlay error/absence -> honest note (portrait_video_unsupported, 5 locales),
NEVER a silent black screen. currentVideoEl stays null for AV (portrait is solo-first;
schedule engine still drives index/position).
- app.js: applyOrientation() now tells the player the orientation so renderVideo can choose
the path.
Exit-signal marker slice unaffected (test green). Landscape + off-hardware paths unchanged.

* feat(diagnostics): device incident log — why a screen went offline/black, with device-attested cause
Field request (Bold/s_t_r_o_b_e): "screens go offline randomly — let us see the cause." Answers it
across the fleet with a unified incident log, and — the key insight — lets the DEVICE disambiguate
the cause the server can't: if the app process survived the gap it was a NETWORK problem (not a
reboot), and it can even tell a dropped Wi-Fi/Ethernet link from a link-up-but-server-unreachable
(router/upstream) failure.
Schema:
- device_status_log gains reason + detail (WHY each offline transition happened).
- NEW device_events table (unified incident feed): type (offline/online/display_off/display_on/
crash/reboot/network/app_error) + reason + detail, indexed, age-pruned + per-device capped.
Server:
- Capture the socket.io disconnect REASON (transport_close/ping_timeout/transport_error) instead of
discarding it — recorded in the offline-cause log. devices.offline_reason stays on the EXIT-SIGNAL
contract (crashed/clean_exit/silent) — a separate axis, preserved (violent death = 'silent').
- device:event handler (typed incidents) + device:connectivity-report handler (device-attested).
lib/incident-classify.js (pure, unit-tested) composes reason+detail: cold_start->reboot;
link_lost->network "Wi-Fi/Ethernet link lost"; else network "LAN up, server unreachable
(router/upstream)"; appends SSID / weak-signal (rssi<-75) / IP-changed. On a report it upgrades the
most-recent offline row from the server's guess to the device's ground truth.
- heartbeat timeout -> 'heartbeat_timeout'; retention/cap for device_events.
- Device-detail API returns statusLog.reason/detail + the last 50 device_events.
Device (Android WebSocketService): ConnectivityManager default-network callback (link-lost during a
gap) + Wi-Fi SSID/RSSI + IP snapshot -> device:connectivity-report on reconnect (app survived =>
network); ACTION_SCREEN_ON/OFF receiver -> device:event display_on/off ("screen went black"). All
guarded/feature-detected; no manifest change; compiles clean.
Web + Tizen players: reconnect connectivity-report (link_lost from navigator.onLine during the gap)
+ visibilitychange -> display_off/on. Best-effort (no wifi detail in a browser). Tizen exit-signal
marker slice untouched.
CMS (device-detail): the offline cause on the uptime-timeline hover + a new "Recent incidents" panel
(merged offline periods + typed events, friendly labels, detail, relative time + down-duration).
Built as a 4-way parallel agent fan-out over disjoint domains against a locked contract, then
integrated. Verified: full server suite 443/443 (incl. the seam fix keeping the exit-signal contract
intact), Android compileDebugKotlin clean, all players + CMS node -c clean.

* feat(diagnostics): internet-reachability probe — split "our server down" from "no internet" (#170)
Follow-up to the incident log: when a device's link is UP but it's offline, "router/upstream" was a
catch-all. The device now probes a public host (1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 :443) DURING the gap, so the cause
pinpoints blame:
- link_lost=true -> Wi‑Fi/Ethernet link lost (device's own link)
- link up, internet_ok=true -> server_down: internet reachable, OUR server was unreachable
- link up, internet_ok=false -> no_internet: router/ISP down
- link up, no probe result -> generic router/upstream (unchanged fallback)
- Android WebSocketService: fire a short daemon-thread TCP probe (443, either host) at disconnect;
the result rides the connectivity-report as internet_ok (omitted if the gap ends before it finishes).
- lib/incident-classify.js: 3-way split on internet_ok; new reasons server_down / no_internet.
- Frontend i18n: device.event.server_down / .no_internet labels.
- Tests: +3 classify cases (server_down, no_internet, link_lost wins over internet_ok). 12/12.
Verified: classify 12/12, Android compileDebugKotlin clean, node -c clean. Refs #170.

* feat(diagnostics): log an 'upgrade' incident (old → new app_version) — server-side (#170)
When a device reports an app_version different from the stored one, applyDeviceInfo logs an

* feat(seo): landing-page optimization pass (schema fixes, FAQ, content depth, CWV)
From a 3-way SEO audit (technical / structured-data / content). Highest-value fixes:
Structured data (penalty risk + rich results):
- REMOVE the fabricated aggregateRating (4.8/50) from SoftwareApplication — no visible reviews
on the page = a "spammy structured markup" risk. Replace loose Offers with a proper AggregateOffer
+ publisher + image/screenshot.
- Add a VISIBLE FAQ section (10 Q&As) so the FAQPage schema finally has on-page content (it shipped
4 Q&As with no visible counterpart — a mismatch); expand the FAQPage JSON-LD to mirror all 10.
- Add a WebSite entity block; add YouTube to Organization sameAs + a description.
- Fix the guides/compare BreadcrumbList position-2 target (dead /#features -> /).
Content / keywords / IA:
- Hero + Features subtitle rewritten to surface "digital signage software" / "digital signage CMS"
/ "self-host" / "free" above the fold.
- New "How It Works" (3-step) and "Use Cases / Industries" (8 verticals) sections for snippet +
long-tail intent. Platform tiles (Android TV / Fire TV / Raspberry Pi) now link to their guides.
- FAQ answers add keyword-rich internal links to the guides + compare pages.
Technical / Core Web Vitals:
- Lazy-load the YouTube iframe (loading=lazy + youtube-nocookie + explicit width/height) — the top
LCP/TBT win on mobile.
- Title 84->~60 chars (keyword-front), meta description ~178->~156 + CTA.
- <div> footer -> <footer> landmark; favicon sizes (192+512).
- sitemap.xml: add <lastmod> to all 10 URLs.
All JSON-LD validated (4 blocks parse; single H1; no fabricated data).

The subprocess-booting test suites hand-picked fixed ports in a cramped ~3955-4021 range, and
156-schedule-read-path deviated to a RANDOM port (3900 + rand%90) that overlapped those fixed
ports. Under CI load two servers could race on the same port, surfacing as flaky "no such table:
devices" / "FOREIGN KEY constraint failed" (a server answering a request against a half-migrated
or wrong DB). It's environmental — the suites pass locally and in isolation.
Fix: a shared test/helpers/free-port.js (bind :0 on loopback, read the OS-assigned port, release)
called in before() so every suite gets a guaranteed-unique ephemeral port — concurrent suites can
no longer collide, and no one has to hand-assign ports.
- Codemod converted 30 suites: const PORT = <fixed|random> -> let PORT (+ BASE) assigned via
`PORT = await freePort()` at the top of before().
- 3 hand-fixed (different structure): 148-eviction-storm (lowercase `base`), boot-health (no
before() — allocates PORT + a throwaway SEED_PORT inside the test, replacing the hardcoded
3894), totp-keyrotation (no before() — allocates at the test start before bootServer()).
No fixed 39xx/40xx ports remain. Full server suite 435/435; the 4 hand-touched suites pass in
isolation. Pure test-infra change — no app code touched.
Since #168 android versionName/versionCode became env-overridable, the values in
build.gradle.kts live as fallback literals inside `?: "…"` at the end of each line, not
as `versionName = "X"` / `versionCode = N`. The old sed/grep found no versionCode digits,
so $((CODE + 1)) errored under set -e and the whole bump aborted after touching VERSION +
package.json. Retarget the trailing `?: "literal"`.

* 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.
Refs #170.

* 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
block, so the slice no longer captured the crash/pagehide handlers and the three B/wgt
tests failed. Re-point the range to 682-716 (block content unchanged, verified identical).

PlaylistPlayer and ZoneRenderer share one #stage node, but every playlist-update
unconditionally blanked the OTHER renderer (zoneRenderer.clear() in the single-zone
branch, player.stop() in the layout branch) and then hit that renderer's unchanged-
signature `return` — leaving the stage BLANK. Same class as the Android #162 wedge (a
stale "still on screen" belief trusted while nothing is actually rendered):
- fires on the routine ~60s heartbeat re-register (server re-pushes the same playlist),
- permanent for a single looping item (no advance timer to self-heal),
- also stranded the stage on suspend -> resume and cold-start cached-playlist restore.
Fix: track which renderer owns the shared stage (stageOwner) and only blank the other
one when actually switching modes, invalidating the incoming renderer's signature so it
repaints on the switch; never blank on a same-mode unchanged update. Added
ZoneRenderer.invalidate() to mirror PlaylistPlayer.invalidate(). Verified with a
faithful state-machine simulation: old code blanks 8x across a realistic
pair/heartbeat/switch/suspend sequence, fixed code 0x.
The web player (server/player/index.html) was reviewed and is NOT vulnerable — its
unchanged-guard already verifies real DOM surface health (needsReattach, the #146 fix)
and its JS state resets on reload, so there is no analogous wedge.

Client-side fixes to the Android signage player, all validated end-to-end on a
Pixel-10 emulator (Android 16) against the alpha server.
- content download: a local item with "remote_url": null was mis-tagged as a
remote stream (org.json optString returns the STRING "null" for a JSON null),
so it was ack'd "ready" and NEVER downloaded — stranding the screen on
"waiting for content" and only ever playing 1 of N files. Guard with isNull().
- playback (#162): PlaylistController trusted isRunning+currentIndex as "already
playing" and never re-called playItem, permanently stranding a panel on
"waiting for content" after a restart/OTA/content-not-ready-at-first-start.
Guards now require hasContentOnScreen (a genuine render) before short-circuiting.
- provisioning: revert to the URL-entry screen if a connect attempt hangs >60s
(wrong/unreachable URL) instead of an endless "Connecting to server…".
- re-pair: a server rejection (device:unpaired / auth-error) left the device
connected-but-unregistered with no pairing code (stuck); a naive re-register
then stormed the #150 reclaim guard ~20x/s. Now: re-register once, debounced +
backed off; honor the reclaim-settle window with a stable "re-pairing available
in Xs" countdown; show the code only once the server accepts it (isPairingCodeLive).
- status: a fully-online device could sit on a stale "Connecting to server…" when
MainActivity was relaunched (CLEAR_TASK) after the service already registered —
it now pulls a fresh playlist on bind so the real state renders.
- setup: add a Default Launcher (HOME role) step so a kiosk can be set as the
default launcher without adb (prevents ~45s activity-recreate churn).
- debug: new DebugLog.v() streams the deep download/playback trace only while
live dashboard debug is enabled; silent in production.

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.

Surface the server's manner-of-death (crashed / clean_exit / silent) as a subordinate qualifier ON the
Offline badge (not a 4th liveness state), on both the device list and device-detail. Rides livenessBadge.
- Reliability-aware label (contract §10): clean_exit reads plainly on /player (reliable), "(best-effort)"
on APK/.wgt. silent = "silent (no signal)".
- Honest hover tooltip on every reason (both views), incl. silent = "external/violent: power loss, network,
force-stop, or MDM/kill". Never fabricates a reason (no-reason -> plain Offline); state-gated (reason only
on Offline); clears on re-online (matches the server).
- Filter drill-in: <optgroup> "Offline by reason" -> Offline · silent / crashed / clean exit, matched via a
data-offline-reason attribute (Offline·silent = the MDM-killed set — the Bold use case). Existing
three-state filter (All/Healthy/Reconnecting/Offline) unchanged.
- List label shortened to fit the pill (full text stays on detail; tooltip carries the full honesty both).

Two follow-ups from the alpha diagnosis:
- FIX A (regression): filterDevices() compared badge TEXT to the option values 'online'/'offline', but
the badge text is now "Healthy"/"Reconnecting"/"Offline" — so selecting a status filter matched
nothing and emptied the dashboard. Now compares the liveness STATE via a data-liveness attribute, and
the filter is upgraded to All / Healthy / Reconnecting / Offline (an admin can filter TO reconnecting
devices — the point of the Degraded distinction).
- FIX B (legibility): the list rendered liveness as a status-dot where healthy=green/offline=red were
visually identical to the old indicator, so it didn't read as new. The list now renders the same
device-status-badge PILL as device-detail (3 distinct colors; amber Reconnecting visible on the list),
scoped with an is-liveness modifier so video-wall cards keep their dark "NxN wall" pill.
Frontend-only. 14/14 filter+render tests; full ES-module parse clean.

The patch4 server derives 3-state liveness (healthy / degraded-reconnecting / offline) and emits it as
data.liveness on dashboard:device-status, but the frontend only consumed binary online/offline — the
signal was thrown away. Add a shared livenessBadge() helper (utils.js) consumed by both the dashboard
device list and the device-detail view (initial render + live statusHandler). Degrades to the binary
status when liveness is absent (old payload / plain reconnect+disconnect emits / DB device object) so
nothing renders blank; unknown/no-data -> offline default. CSS: healthy=green, degraded=amber+pulse
(reads as reconnecting), offline=red — reusing the existing --success/--warning/--danger tokens. Labels
in en.js (all locales fall back to en). Frontend-only; server derivation unchanged. 13/13 unit tests.

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:'.
