## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果
This phase adds lightweight room interaction without making media depend on chat,
and adds Windows source-audio exclusion and optional SFU-only hosting at their
existing owners. It also corrects confirmed encoder/capture ownership and native
color-conversion defects. Host microphone commentary remains on the shared media
path; room voice and 4K are outside this phase.
## Release notes
### 中文
这是一次功能更新：Piik 加入了文字聊天与表情互动，并完善了 Windows 声音采集、画面颜色和自部署选项。
#### 新功能
- **边看边聊。** 在可移动、可缩放的聊天窗口中发送消息，或开启弹幕。停止分享后，房间中的朋友仍可继续聊天。
- **表情互动。** 点击沙发上的人物，给自己发表情，或把番茄等表情送给朋友；各端按同一事件显示动画。
- **排除应用声音。** Windows App 分享整个屏幕时，可排除一个应用及其子进程的声音，适合同时使用语音软件。所选应用退出后，来源声音停止，避免恢复为未过滤的系统声音。
- **可选的纯 SFU 模式。** 自部署管理员可让共享画面和声音统一通过媒体服务器转发。默认仍为优先 P2P；App 公网邀请保持纯 P2P。
- **Windows HDR 转 SDR。** 原生采集与缩略图自动将 HDR 来源转换为 SDR，沿用现有观看链路。
#### 修复与改进
- 修复原生颜色转换的范围与矩阵处理，避免已复现的暗部丢失、高光裁切和颜色偏差。
- 修复共享编码器切换时使用过期需求或过期帧信息的问题，保护正在观看的画面；修复换源后旧采集事件可能影响新来源的问题。
- 统一新控件、浮窗与来源选择文案，补充中英文使用说明。
#### 使用与升级
聊天与表情需要新版站点页面和 Server；声音排除需要新版页面与支持此能力的 Windows App。聊天只保留本页最近收到的消息，刷新后清空，不补发历史，且不提供端到端加密。
HDR 转换输出为 SDR，不代表端到端 HDR 或多声道支持。既有房主麦克风与立体声能力保留。
### English
This feature update brings text chat and reactions to Piik, alongside improvements to Windows audio capture, picture colors and self-hosting options.
#### New features
- **Chat while watching.** Send messages in a movable, resizable window, or enable on-screen chat. Friends can keep chatting after the host stops sharing.
- **Reactions.** Select a person on the sofa to react above yourself or send a tomato and other reactions to a friend. Participants animate the same shared event.
- **Exclude application audio.** When sharing a whole screen with Windows App, exclude one application and its child processes, useful when using a separate voice app. Source audio stops if the selected app exits, preventing a return to unfiltered system sound.
- **Optional SFU-only hosting.** Site operators can require shared video and audio to pass through the media server. P2P-first remains the default; App Public invite remains P2P-only.
- **Windows HDR-to-SDR conversion.** Native capture and source thumbnails automatically convert HDR sources to SDR for the existing viewing path.
#### Fixes and improvements
- Correct native color-conversion ranges and matrices, addressing reproduced crushed shadows, clipped highlights and color shifts.
- Correct stale demand and frame evidence during shared-encoder handoffs to protect the current picture. Prevent events from a replaced capture from affecting its successor.
- Align new controls, floating panels and source-picker copy, with updated Chinese and English guides.
#### Using this update
Chat and reactions require updated site pages and Server. Audio exclusion requires updated pages and a Windows App that supports the capability. Chat retains only recent messages received by the current page, clears on refresh and does not replay history. It is not end-to-end encrypted.
HDR conversion produces SDR; it does not add end-to-end HDR or surround sound. Existing host microphone commentary and stereo support remain available.
## Verification / 验证
- Web type checks, 78 test files / 1275 tests and production build: PASS.
- Go core tests, formatting/vet and target builds: PASS; Darwin cgo remains platform-limited on this Windows runner.
- Native build/check/color probes and synthetic HDR-to-SDR H.264/VP8 browser reception: PASS.
- Access/privacy gate, Native H.264 SFU-only media gate and local Auto/H.264 Host gate: PASS.
- Three real production pages: chat/reactions, stop/resume, idle-room join, host departure/return, offline draft recovery and invitation revocation: PASS.
- Synthetic parent/child process-audio exclusion and target lifetime: PASS; no raw audio retained.
- Windows candidate archive extraction and packaged Local startup/shutdown: PASS.
- Documentation and website build: PASS.
- [Candidate CI](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/actions/runs/36873766646) at
`f26cd208d03bc0dcbe353f8cac217f993216b0a3`: Go core and race checks, Web tests,
Server/container checks and Windows/macOS/Linux App packaging all PASS.
Publication was skipped as intended.
The owner accepted the UI/model and bounded local walkthrough for phase closure.
Physical HDR/mixed displays, mobile keyboard,
real voice applications across output devices and macOS/Linux capture remain
unverified. Existing field reports without matched evidence are not claimed
resolved. The owner authorized v1.7.0 publication on 2026-10-02. The final
documentation-only commit records that authorization; product code matches
the verified candidate above.
## Impact / 影响
Authorized version: **v1.7.0**, matching the local release planner. Current wire
contracts remain Browser/server 23, Native control 9 and capture 7. Optional
capabilities gate new functionality; existing room/media authority remains owned
by the existing services. No new ports, message persistence, room voice or
automatic room creation on page visit. Updated README, guides, standards,
research evidence and TODO stay with the candidate phase.
## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果
This maintenance phase fixes failures around native capture startup, room reconnection and media handoffs. Capture mutations stay cancellable, relayed-content failures remain request-scoped, and failed media connections return to the existing route controller. Windows Auto codec selection measures delivered cadence instead of timer-sensitive per-frame work estimates.
The phase preserves P2P-first routing, one committed graph and one route operation. It adds no signaling replay mechanism, changes no wire/schema version, and includes no interaction prototype or 4K feature work.
## Release notes
### 中文
Piik v1.6.8 是一次稳定性修复，重点改善 Windows 原生采集、断线恢复和分享过程中的控制响应。
#### 修复与改善
- **更准确地选择编码器。** Windows 的自动模式按实际出帧表现评估 H.264，并正确区分启动预热和持续性能不足，减少计时误差导致的不必要 VP8 回退。硬件编码事件改为异步等待。
- **改善断线与线路切换。** 房间信令短暂断开后保留观众成员身份 20 秒；修复线路切换、SFU 订阅恢复及声音重协商卡住的问题。失效连接及时交回现有路由控制器处理，原生 SFU 发送端不再把短暂断连直接判为终止。
- **保持 App 控制响应。** 开始分享和更换来源时仍可取消操作；合法消息突发不再直接关闭控制连接。中继信令的单条内容错误不会连带结束整场原生分享。
- **修正设备列表与配置保存。** 来源或麦克风数量达到上限时保留可用列表；配置替换失败时保留原有设置。
- **改善紧凑布局和辅助功能。** 调整手机横屏下的画面与播控布局、画质预设标签和长邀请链接显示，修正部分提示与辅助功能语义。
- **加强站点访问保护。** 站点登录 Cookie 使用独立随机签名密钥，应用自身阻止被其他页面嵌套。发布说明也会在合并前检查。
#### 升级说明
通信协议和持久化格式保持不变。设置了站点密码时，App 或 Server 重启后需要重新输入站点密码；持久化房间和邀请授权不受这项 Cookie 调整影响。Piik 操作页面不再支持嵌入 iframe。
### English
Piik v1.6.8 is a stability update focused on Windows native capture, connection recovery and responsive sharing controls.
#### Fixes and improvements
- **More accurate codec selection.** Windows Auto mode evaluates H.264 using delivered frames and distinguishes startup warmup from sustained performance limits, reducing unnecessary VP8 fallback caused by timing noise. Hardware encoder events now use asynchronous waiting.
- **Improved reconnection and route handoffs.** Viewer membership survives brief signaling outages for 20 seconds. Fixes cover route activation, SFU subscription recovery and stalled audio renegotiation. Failed connections return to the existing route controller, and the native SFU publisher no longer treats a transient disconnect as immediate termination.
- **Responsive App controls.** Starting a share and replacing its source remain cancellable. Valid message bursts no longer close the control connection, and an invalid relayed payload cannot terminate the entire native sharing session.
- **Device lists and saved settings.** Source and microphone enumeration retain a usable list at their limits. Failed configuration replacement preserves the previous settings.
- **Compact layouts and accessibility.** Improved picture and playback-control layout on landscape phones, quality preset labels and long invitation links, with corrected tooltip and accessibility semantics.
- **Stronger site-access protection.** Login cookies use an independent random signing key, and the application prevents embedding by other pages. Release notes are also checked before merge.
#### Upgrade notes
Wire protocols and persistent formats are unchanged. If a site password is configured, restarting the App or Server requires entering it again; this cookie change does not revoke persisted rooms or invitation grants. Piik operation pages can no longer be embedded in an iframe.
## Verification / 验证
- `npm run check`: passed, 76 test files / 1,171 tests, TypeScript and production Web build.
- `npm run check:go-core`: passed; full Go/native checks also passed during integration of the capture changes. macOS cgo builds remain native-runner checks.
- Windows native Host gates: Auto, H.264 and VP8 passed during the phase; final control changes rechecked with Auto, including live/paused quality, source replacement, failure retirement and subsequent sharing.
- Embedded SFU browser VP8 recovery: passed with production Host/Viewer route owners.
- Embedded SFU native H.264, two rooms: passed, including recovered decoded video/audio, independent room retirement and resource cleanup.
- Documentation, repository hygiene and diff checks: passed. Final follow-up changes only align operations documentation with the PR note check.
- Go race checks could not run locally because no cgo/GCC toolchain is available; the existing Linux CI race job remains required. AMD/Intel hardware, broader device combinations, public-NAT field reports and long endurance are not established by these local checks.
## Impact / 影响
Compatible patch release after v1.6.7. The cookie and frame-protection effects are disclosed in the public upgrade notes. No automatic retry budget, room-code admission policy, room lifetime or media topology is replaced. Reports without matched diagnostics and unmeasured native performance costs remain in the TODO ledger.
An individually rejected ICE candidate could abort the App's local media bridge, an SFU publication or a Browser encoding probe. Separately, a retiring native downstream edge could propagate its closed transport into the shared source and stop capture. This phase keeps those failures at their existing resource owners, fences late bridge signaling after disposal, and corrects native Opus receive preferences.
Existing candidate handling is reused across sibling paths. No route policy, retry budget, protocol version, configuration or UI is added. Browser ingress stereo normalization remains necessary for already-published Apps.
Validation: `npm run check` (74 files, 1081 tests, type-check and Web build), `npm run check:go` (including Windows native compilation), documentation and repository hygiene passed. Windows Chrome H264 and VP8 gates passed candidate fault injection, resize/fullscreen/minimize transitions, live/paused settings, source replacement and re-sharing; Auto whole-display capture also passed. A real Chrome codec-probe comparison reproduces the old false H264 rejection and verifies the correction. Regression tests reproduce the downstream retirement and receive-preference defects. Linux CI owns the Go race check because the local Windows environment lacks cgo.
Reported game/device failures remain unconfirmed without matched diagnostics. These fixes do not claim to resolve every share-start or game-entry failure. Interaction/voice/HDR work remains outside this release; its next steps are recorded in the existing TODO ledger.
## Release notes
### 中文
这是一次分享稳定性修复更新，重点避免局部连接错误影响整场分享，并修正原生音频接收协商。
- 修复单条 ICE 候选被拒绝时可能导致开播失败、SFU 发布中断，或自动编码检测误判的问题；连接会继续使用其他有效候选。
- 修复原生下游连接关闭时可能误停整场分享的竞态，并阻止已关闭的本机媒体连接继续发送过期信令。
- 修正原生接收端的 Opus 立体声偏好，首次连接和重新协商均会明确请求立体声。
保持现有版本兼容，无需修改配置。具体游戏、显卡或网络环境中的异常仍需结合诊断记录确认。
### English
This maintenance update improves sharing stability by containing local connection failures and correcting native audio receive negotiation.
- Fixed cases where a rejected ICE candidate could prevent sharing, interrupt an SFU publication, or incorrectly rule out H264 during automatic codec detection. Other valid candidates remain usable.
- Fixed a race where closing a native downstream connection could stop the entire share, and prevented disposed local media connections from sending stale signaling.
- Corrected native Opus receive preferences to request stereo on both initial connection and renegotiation.
Existing version compatibility is preserved; no configuration changes are required. Failures specific to a game, GPU or network still need matching diagnostics to establish their cause.
## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果
Add camera sharing and Host microphone commentary to the existing Host workflow,
with shared source cards, device selection, input gain and grouped sharing settings.
Browser and native capture keep one outgoing audio track and the existing room/media
owners. Include optional password-free invitations, public-tunnel protocol fallback,
capture retirement and App-discovery feedback fixes. This is the complete capture
maintenance phase; interaction, x86 capture and 4K experiments are excluded.
## Release notes
### 中文
这次更新让分享多了两种表达方式：用摄像头展示现场，用麦克风边分享边讲解。
分享设置也重新整理，并修复了公网邀请、音视频切换和采集退出中的一些问题。
#### 新功能与使用改进
- **摄像头分享**：在原有选源器中选择摄像头，支持设备选择和画面预览；支持摄像头访问的手机浏览器也可使用。
- **房主麦克风**：浏览器分享和 App 原生采集均可混入房主声音，支持选择麦克风、静音和输入音量调节。观众仍使用原有音量控件收听。
- **更集中的分享设置**：画质、声音和详细连接选项集中在画面下方，常用操作保持直接可用，并调整了窄屏播控与等待提示的布局。
- **邀请链接可选择是否免密加入**：关闭后，链接不再附带免密邀请；接收者按当前站点和房间的准入设置加入。
- **更清晰的启动设置**：可选站点口令默认收起，已有站点地址提供 `demo.piik.tv` 建议，并澄清 NAT 增强选项的含义。
#### 修复
- 公网邀请在 UDP 受限但 TCP 可用的网络中，可使用隧道组件原有的协议回退，减少这类启动失败。
- 调整音频时保留健康的视频发送；修复旧采集事件干扰当前分享的情况。
- 停止或取消原生采集时，先正常释放采集会话，超时才强制退出；修复本地复现的强制终止后 Windows 黄框残留问题。
- 从 App 打开的页面无法连接 App 时，选源器保留明确提示，不再只剩浏览器和摄像头选项而缺少原因说明。
#### 使用说明
摄像头和音频能力取决于系统、浏览器与设备。Windows 仍可能因权限或其他采集要求显示边框。
使用新增的 App 麦克风功能，请更新 App；连接自部署站点时，也请更新站点以获得对应页面功能。
### English
This update adds camera sharing and Host microphone commentary, alongside a
clearer sharing-settings layout. It also fixes several public-invitation,
audio/video transition and capture-shutdown issues.
#### Features and usability
- **Camera sharing:** choose a camera in the existing source picker, with device selection and thumbnail previews. Phone browsers with camera access can share too.
- **Host microphone:** add commentary to Browser sharing or App-native capture, with device selection, mute and input gain. Viewers listen through their existing volume controls.
- **Grouped sharing settings:** picture quality, sound and detailed connection options sit below the picture, while frequent actions remain directly available. Narrow-screen playback and waiting layouts are refined.
- **Optional password-free invitations:** turn this off to copy a link without an invitation credential. Recipients then follow the site's and room's current admission settings.
- **Clearer startup settings:** optional site-password settings are collapsed, the existing-site field suggests `demo.piik.tv`, and the NAT enhancement option has a clearer description.
#### Fixes
- Public invitations can use the tunnel component's existing protocol fallback when UDP is blocked but TCP is available, reducing startup failures on those networks.
- Audio changes preserve healthy video sending. Retired capture events no longer affect an active share.
- Stopping or cancelling native capture releases the capture session before enforcing the shutdown deadline. This fixes a locally reproduced case where forced termination left a Windows capture border behind.
- Pages opened from the App keep a clear connection warning in the source picker when the App cannot be reached, instead of showing only Browser and Camera without an explanation.
#### Usage notes
Camera and audio support depend on the OS, browser and device. Windows may still
require a border because of permissions or another active capture.
Update the App to use its new microphone feature; update self-hosted sites as
well to receive the matching page controls.
## Verification / 验证
- npm run check: 74 files / 1054 tests passed, TypeScript and production Web build passed.
- npm run check:go: Go tests, vet, target builds and Windows native compile/regressions passed.
- npm run gate:app-native-host: actual Windows H264 Host/Viewer, live/paused profile changes,
quiet-source recovery, source replacement/failure, subsequent share and cleanup passed.
- Windows 11 capture-border check: parent cancellation retires the actual WGC session and
clears its border; subprocess tests verify normal, concurrent and timed-out retirement.
- Website build, scripts typecheck, documentation and repository hygiene passed.
- Native macOS/Linux packaging and Linux race checks run in CI before publication.
Physical phone camera and real audio-level/echo/multiple-device coverage remain recorded
limits; the owner authorized release with those limits. No universal NAT/border fix is claimed.
## Impact / 影响
Compatible feature release **v1.6.0**, explicitly approved by the owner. Browser/Server v23,
Native control v9 and capture v7 stay unchanged; new App microphone commands use capability
negotiation. No new dependency, port, media route, room lifecycle or storage migration.
Published Server cutover retains configuration and room storage and uses bounded health
checks with the previous executable available for rollback. Source, tests and owned
documentation ship together; exact artifact/deployment identities remain outside the repo.
Waiting feedback and tooltips now share consistent presentation lifecycles, while App shutdown and native-media operation failures stay within their owning session or output. This phase also consolidates the project standards and publishes searchable English/Chinese reader documentation alongside the homepage.
Validation: repository hygiene and Markdown links; TypeScript, 971 Web tests and production build; website/documentation build; Go tests, vet and Windows/Linux builds with Windows capture checks; desktop/mobile UI and documentation review. Linux race, container and three-platform packaging checks run in the release pipeline. Physical macOS/Linux capture and broader network coverage remain outside this acceptance.
The owner approved v1.4.0 publication. Existing empty-source, Windows URL-handler and public-invitation timeout reports remain tracked; this release makes no claim to resolve those device/network reports. The Windows capture-border request is next-phase work.
## Release notes
### 中文
这是一次以稳定性和交互一致性为重点的功能更新。等待与提示更有反馈，App 启动、原生分享和连接恢复的边界处理得到改善，使用与部署指南也有了统一的文档中心。
#### 新增与改进
- 欢迎语、等待短句和六类可轮换的标签页标题共用一致的显示规则。等待短句从一开始就出现，并在停留时轮换；明确的错误与操作提示保持固定。
- 房间准入等漫画采用更克制的小人物与循环动效。改进 tooltip 的定位与指向，减少对播放器的遮挡；状态、图标和文案保持相同含义。
- 新增中英文文档中心，提供搜索、手机目录、使用教程、问题排查与自部署指南。官网 FAQ 聚焦开始使用前的问题，详细排查统一进入文档中心。
#### 修复
- 使用 `--local` 启动不再清空已保存的 Piik 站点地址。
- 打开系统浏览器不再阻塞 App 的退出流程；改进临时公网邀请、终端和诊断导出在关闭时的清理及错误反馈。
- 单条原生媒体连接的操作失败不再被误判为整个会话的协议错误；重复停止分享保持幂等。
- 修复连接替换、转发停止和异常退出时的部分资源清理问题，避免迟到结果影响当前连接。
- Windows 原生采集中，单个输出的编码错误只结束对应输出；共享采集源本身的错误仍会结束分享。
#### 升级与已知边界
本次保持现有协议版本与配置格式。更新 App 或自托管 Server 后，重新打开页面即可使用对应的新界面。
个别设备的空窗口列表、Windows 浏览器启动异常，以及 Linux 编码输出的故障隔离仍在跟进。macOS/Linux 的物理采集和更广泛的公网网络场景仍需实机验证；本次不宣称这些问题已经解决，也不承诺所有网络都能直连。
### English
This feature update focuses on stability and consistent feedback. Waiting states are easier to follow, App startup and native sharing handle several failure cases more reliably, and the new documentation center brings usage and deployment guides together.
#### New and improved
- Welcome lines, waiting captions and six groups of rotating tab titles follow one presentation lifecycle. Waiting captions appear immediately and rotate while visible; actionable errors and instructions remain fixed.
- Room-admission comics use restrained characters and looping motion. Tooltips point more accurately to their controls and interfere less with the player, with consistent meanings across illustrations, icons and copy.
- A new English/Chinese documentation center includes search, mobile navigation, usage guides, troubleshooting and self-hosting. The homepage FAQ covers questions before getting started and links to the documentation for detailed help.
#### Fixes
- Starting with `--local` no longer clears a saved Piik site address.
- Opening the system browser no longer blocks App shutdown. Temporary public invitations, the terminal and diagnostic exports handle cleanup and exit errors more consistently.
- An operation failure on one native media connection no longer becomes a protocol failure for the entire session. Repeated stop-sharing requests are safe.
- Fixed cleanup cases during connection replacement, relay shutdown and unexpected exits, preventing late results from affecting the current connection.
- On Windows, an encoder failure for one native output stops that output only. A failure of the shared capture source still ends sharing.
#### Updating and known limits
Protocol versions and configuration formats are unchanged. After updating the App or your self-hosted Server, reopen the page to use its updated interface.
Empty source lists on some devices, Windows browser-launch failures and Linux output-failure isolation remain under investigation. Physical macOS/Linux capture and broader public-network coverage still need device testing; this update does not claim to resolve those cases or guarantee a direct connection on every network.
Piik now has one public presentation and a coordinated App/Server release path. This phase unifies the room UI, rewrites the bilingual README and guides, adds a static website with an inline product film, and prepares matching GitHub/Gitee packages and update links.
The film uses the current homepage and shared product controls on one seekable timeline. Runtime fixes preserve presentation when the App opens a room, normalize Site origins, and keep capture and media-recovery status in the television indicator. New visits use Chinese for a Chinese system language and English otherwise; explicit language and visual-mode choices remain available. An optional site passphrase controls site entry, while room authorization remains enforced.
GitHub is the release authority. Gitee mirrors verified packages and provides update metadata when GitHub is unavailable. Reviewed PR release notes become the GitHub Release description. The separate public demo uses P2P only, with HTTPS and STUN verified.
Validation: 756 Web tests, TypeScript and production build; Go core tests, formatting, vet and available target builds; bounded Windows capture and App/Site interoperability; browser film checks, audible playback and narrow layouts; anonymous Gitee Windows-package download, checksum and launcher/update-link checks. Public demo acceptance covers authenticated WebSocket signaling, synthetic P2P video and room cleanup on one network. macOS/Linux physical capture and the wider device/network/endurance matrix remain explicitly deferred.
Publication builds every package from the merged source SHA. The repository is public, main protection is active, and Pages is configured for piik.tv. CI/publisher and Pages deployment records own publication results.

Windows App and desktop browsers are the primary validated paths. macOS and Linux have not yet been tested on physical devices; testing and feedback are welcome. The demo and App public invitations rely on P2P and may not connect on restrictive networks. Self-hosted sites can enable media forwarding.
Rename the active product, Go module, binaries, configuration, protocols and documentation to Piik while retaining the TV mascot and existing media/room behavior.
Use one current private contract without old-name aliases. Preserve SQLite authority and copy compatible local settings once; other settings start fresh. Git-message cleanup and the infrastructure name cutover are coordinated with this phase, with original history and deployment data archived externally.
Validated locally with Web and Go checks, Windows capture compilation, matched Client/Server builds, packaged Client control handshake and history-rewrite integrity checks. Skip duplicate hosted CI for this owner-authorized local release.

Complete the Native Client source/audio boundary, strict v5 loopback contract, Browser media lifecycle handling, and non-blocking release checks. Keep unverified platform/physical gates explicit; do not rewrite the Go Server.
Measured Browser-pipeline improvements, bounded SFU observability, and one-commit release ownership. Local repository hygiene, 860 tests, client/server builds, and the 20-Viewer seven-check gate passed. GitHub Actions did not start because of the account billing/spending-limit annotation.
Merged after local npm run check, 20-Viewer Chromium loopback gate, and documentation validation. GitHub Actions validation was not started because the repository account billing/spending limit prevented runner start.
Fixes the production-proven P2P-to-SFU quality misrouting. Local full checks and independent P0/P1 review passed; the GitHub job did not start any steps.
Implements the accepted opt-in native-edge local convergence controller and the pre-share topology optimization and peer-only policies. Local full checks and independent P0/P1 reviews passed; the GitHub job did not start any steps.
Modularize durable truth, bound always-loaded instructions, and keep domain-document size checks advisory. Local cross-platform repository hygiene checks pass; GitHub-hosted steps were not started because of the account billing state.
