Both SettingsCookieService and DarkModeCookieService now call window.DeepDrftSettings.setCookie (new Interop/settings/settings.ts) instead of eval. New tests cover SettingsServiceBase parse/format round-trip and the PreferenceAwareStreamingPlayerService invariant (Lossless skips probe; LowData inherits base).
Player picks Opus when the browser can decode it and a sidecar exists (else lossless), injecting the sidecar before stream init; seek reuses the same format. Adds the Backfill-Opus bulk API endpoint + CMS action.
Background-job transcode (ffmpeg/libopus) after source store; pure C# Ogg
walker builds the 0.5s-bucketed granule→byte seek index + captures the
OpusHead/OpusTags setup header into a per-track sidecar in a new track-opus
vault. Best-effort, additive, regenerated on replace-audio.
Adds CoerceTheaterMode() to WaveformVisualizerControlState; ToggleLava/ToggleWaveform
call it before NotifyChanged so all observers see consistent state in one Changed cycle.
Covers the dead-end escape route bug (Phase 20 review finding).
Fixes five queue bugs: Playlist relabel, last-track-empties, dormant-seed-from-player on first add, immediate panel reactivity, and front/back deque semantics. Adds JumpTo for row jumps.
Build the staging path before the copy in both UploadTrack and ReplaceAudio so the finally block deletes it on cancellation or IO error, not only on success.
Relocate both the framework multipart buffer (via ASPNETCORE_TEMP) and the controller staging file to a configurable data-disk directory, so large WAV/FLAC/MP3 uploads no longer fail on the host's small tmpfs.
ForRelease mints a per-call token used as the iframe id and threaded into the src as EmbedId; the host script matches on it so multiple embeds resize independently. ForTrack unchanged.
Read-only inline queue panel below the release embed's player bar; row-jump reuses PlayRelease. ForRelease mints a taller iframe plus a postMessage resize listener for the collapse toggle; ForTrack unchanged.
FindOrCreateRelease now returns (ReleaseDto, bool WasCreated); the CREATE path in UploadAsync
rejects WasCreated=false as a duplicate rather than silently attaching on a lost race.
Add TotalPlays + UniqueListeners to HomeStatsDto, composed at
StatsController from IEventService (no migration). Card reads via
existing persistent-state-bridged round-trip.
Add a Queue toggle to the docked player bar opening a centered editable queue
overlay. New additive QueueService.ClearUpcoming keeps the playing track while
dropping the rest. Current track is non-removable.
Mint a first-party localStorage anonId, thread it onto play/share beacons,
persist it via EventController, and add all-time distinct-listener counts
(site/track/release). Storage columns + indexes already existed from 16.1.
The queue gains an armed-but-idle state (Arm/Start) so a release embed stages track 0 prerender-safe, then queues the full release on first play and auto-advances.
On partial failure the old path deleted the original audio before
confirming the new write succeeded. Now: load old extension, register
new audio first (original untouched on failure), then clean up stale
backing file only on success and only when extension changed.
Swap a track's audio by EntryKey (metadata/release/position preserved, waveform regenerated); hide per-track remove on a release's sole persisted track so it can only be replaced or release-deleted.
Replace the 100s default HttpClient timeout (set Timeout=Infinite) with an idle/heartbeat
deadline driven by a ProgressStreamContent wrapper that reports bytes-on-the-wire. Each tick
resets the idle window and advances a MudProgressLinear per upload row. Idle window is
configurable via Upload:IdleTimeoutSeconds (default 90s).
Per-track high-res datum keyed by EntryKey in the renamed track-waveforms vault; computed at upload for all tracks, regenerable per-track via CMS, with a re-runnable backfill. Mix read path repointed so it keeps working.
Smooth the loudness contour (~50 ms envelope at preprocessing + decode-time, plus
smootherstep render reconstruction); retune wax↔waveform collision to bouncy/sub-unity
(no explosion/stuck/jitter); split the bubbles knob into fluid-amount + fluid-viscosity
(cohesion via uniform-only smin/wobble); retune scroll/gravity/heat/width ranges; make
the colour rotation visible and boost OKLab chroma; the controls bar now holds its
layout and hides only its knobs via a Visible parameter.
Only advance when player's CurrentTrack.Id matches queue's Current.Id;
direct-play call sites (SessionDetail, StreamNowButton, resume) that
supersede the queue no longer spuriously advance the album. Adds
regression test covering the scenario.
Queue owns ordered tracks, current index, skip-fwd/back, and auto-advance via the player's TrackEnded hook; binds through Attach (no ctor growth, no service-locator). Player-bar skip controls; empty-queue play unchanged. Adds QueueService unit tests.
New nullable Description column (max 4000) on ReleaseEntity, rides the Genre write channel through upload + edit; multiline CMS input. Migration authored, not applied.
Compose ReleaseDetailScaffold via Header + BodyContent slots for the Cut
album view: left meta + Play/Share, right theme-bordered cover, TrackNumber-
ordered track list with per-row play. CutDetailBase carries the multi-track
prerender bridge.
Retire the three-card overview for a search + medium + genre browser over all
releases. Adds q/genre filter params to the api/release paged read path,
mirroring the existing api/track/page TrackFilter pattern.
Promote the Session/Mix single-track rule from a CMS-form convention to a
domain invariant: declare cardinality as data in MediumRules, enforce it in
UnifiedTrackService before the vault write (no orphan), return 409, and read
the same rule in the batch-form collapse.
