AAAandPedro Antonio c18502fd18 feat: improve microphone, chat and platform support
This release adds microphone processing controls and local chat controls, expands platform packages, and synchronizes the website and guides. It also fixes native H.264 input/format handling, signaling recovery, fresh STUN discovery, and UDP ownership during overlapping connections.

This is **v1.8.0**. Browser/Server v23, Native control v9 and capture v7 remain unchanged, with the existing 1440p ceiling. Additional resolutions, capability negotiation and Magicsock are separate follow-up work.

## Validation

- Full local Web check: 79 files / 1,317 tests, TypeScript and production build.
- Full Go checks, platform builds and Windows native capture regressions/probe.
- Native H.264 Host lifecycle, Browser-to-App fanout and App-exit recovery, and Native H.264 through embedded SFU: all passed with owned process/port/profile cleanup.
- Website build, documentation and repository hygiene passed. Existing UI acceptance covers narrow screens, both languages/themes, architecture downloads and all 23 film checks; final packaging and Go race checks run on the merged revision in CI.
- Physical macOS/Linux capture, representative public networks and unmatched field reports retain their documented evidence limits. No claim that every blur/disconnection report is resolved.

## Release notes

### 中文

这是一次功能与兼容性更新:麦克风和聊天增加了实用的小选项,App 与 Server 支持更多设备,同时修复了原生分享和连接恢复中的若干问题。现有 1.x 协议保持不变。

#### 新增与改进

- 浏览器麦克风新增「降噪与回声消除」开关,默认开启回声消除、降噪和自动增益;分享音乐或使用虚拟音频输入时,可按需关闭。
- 可调整弹幕字号和透明度,并将当前保留的聊天记录导出为 TXT。当前会话最多保留 1,000 条文字消息,刷新页面后清空;需要保存时请先导出。
- 新增 Intel Mac、Linux ARM64 App,以及 Linux ARM64 Server 和容器镜像。官网下载区可直接选择对应架构,并显示最新版本和发布时间。
- 更新官网演示、README 截图和中英文教程,明确浏览器分享也可选择窗口或屏幕;开始分享前显示房间号占位,保持底栏控件位置稳定。
- 官网新增直达问题排查的入口,补充浏览器 WebRTC 限制、校园网和 Windows 显卡相关的排查步骤。
- App 模式选择页显示免费开源说明、作者与贡献者署名,以及官方网站和源码链接。

#### 修复

- 修正部分 H.264 原生分享的格式兼容性校验,以及 Windows 编码器输入长度和输出缓冲区对齐问题。
- 清理已失效的重连任务和 Native 接收信令,避免旧连接继续影响当前会话。
- 修复 App 重连时可能复用过期公网地址的问题;重新探测使用当前地址,并处理探测丢包和过期响应,保留其他正常连接。
- 修复 App 新旧媒体连接重叠时共用端口造成的冲突,避免准备或撤销新连接打断仍在使用的画面;关闭连接时及时取消未完成的端口映射请求。
- 无站点密码时,连接恢复不再误引导用户输入站点密码。
- 房间失效或会话终止时,开播前后的原因提示统一显示在电视状态图标中,避免额外提示条。
- 修正 Linux 原生采集的时间戳与关键帧时间基准。感谢 Pedro Antonio 在 [#449](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/pull/449) 的贡献。

#### 使用说明

下载对应平台的完整压缩包,退出旧 App 后解压使用。Windows 继续提供 x64;macOS 提供 Apple 芯片与 Intel 版本,原生采集需要 macOS 13 或更新版本。Linux 提供 x64 与 ARM64,原生采集还需安装[系统组件](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/blob/main/native/capture/linux/README.md)。macOS 和 Linux 的实机覆盖仍有限,欢迎反馈。

### English

This update adds useful microphone and chat controls, brings Piik to more devices, and fixes several native-sharing and connection-recovery issues. The existing 1.x protocols remain unchanged.

#### New and improved

- Browser microphones now have a “Noise & echo reduction” toggle. Echo cancellation, noise suppression and automatic gain control are on by default; turn them off when appropriate for music or virtual audio inputs.
- Adjust chat-overlay text size and opacity, and export retained messages as TXT. The current session keeps up to 1,000 text messages and clears on page refresh; export first if you want to keep them.
- Added Intel Mac and Linux ARM64 App packages, plus Linux ARM64 Server and container images. The website provides architecture selectors and shows the latest release and publication date.
- Updated the website demonstration, README screenshots and bilingual guides, clarifying that browser capture can also select windows or screens. A room-code placeholder keeps the bottom bar stable before sharing starts.
- Added direct website links to troubleshooting, with steps for browser WebRTC restrictions, campus networks and Windows graphics issues.
- The App mode-selection page now shows its free and open-source status, author and contributor credit, and links to the official website and source.

#### Fixes

- Corrected H.264 format compatibility checks and Windows encoder input-length and output-buffer alignment handling.
- Retired stale reconnect tasks and Native receive signals so they cannot continue affecting the current session.
- Fixed App reconnection reusing an expired public address. Fresh discovery handles lost probes and stale responses while preserving other working connections.
- Fixed UDP socket conflicts between overlapping App media connections so preparing or canceling a replacement preserves the active picture. Closing a connection now cancels unfinished gateway mapping requests.
- Connection recovery on passwordless sites no longer incorrectly asks for a site passphrase.
- Expired-room and session-termination reasons now use the same TV status indicator before and during sharing, without an extra notice strip.
- Corrected Linux native capture timestamps and keyframe time bases. Thanks to Pedro Antonio for [#449](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/pull/449).

#### Updating

Download the complete archive for your platform, quit the old App, and extract the new package. Windows remains x64-only. macOS packages support Apple silicon and Intel; native capture requires macOS 13 or newer. Linux supports x64 and ARM64 and requires additional [system components](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/blob/main/native/capture/linux/README.md) for native capture. Physical-device coverage on macOS and Linux remains limited; feedback is welcome.

AAA 1b9f5bd2a2 feat: add room interactions and media sharing improvements
## 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.

AAA 89a03e6470 fix(app): improve capture selection and media recovery (#433)
## 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.

AAA 28827ec6a2 fix(media): improve sharing continuity and pause recovery (#431)
## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果

Sharing could stall at Browser encoder handoff or retain a pause after a video binding was replaced. Source/audio changes could also overlap offer/answer negotiation, while Native recovery could request redundant keyframes. This phase repairs those existing owners, drains capture output during bounded shutdown, and normalizes configured Site origins consistently with Browser serialization.

## Release notes

### 中文

这是一次稳定性更新,重点改善分享中的画面连续性,以及暂停、换源和恢复播放。

- 修复浏览器编码复用中的重复帧率限制和交接等待,减少由这些问题造成的卡顿。
- 修复换源和音频变更时的协商重叠,并防止已关闭连接的异步操作干扰恢复。
- 修复房主暂停期间重连后无法恢复播放,以及编码复用回退后仍停在暂停状态的问题;正常取消播放不再被当作媒体故障。
- 减少原生采集的重复关键帧请求,并修复停止采集时输出未排空导致的退出等待问题。
- 修复部分国际化域名和 IPv6 站点地址的识别,并改善窄屏下分享设置项的文字排版。

升级 Piik App 或自部署 Server 后刷新页面即可,无需修改配置。部分设备和网络环境下报告的开播失败、偶发断流仍需现场日志确认,本次更新不代表所有此类反馈均已解决。

### English

This stability update improves picture continuity and recovery when pausing, changing sources, or resuming playback.

- Fix duplicate frame-rate limiting and unnecessary handoff waits in Browser encoding reuse, reducing stalls caused by these issues.
- Serialize negotiation across source and audio changes, and prevent asynchronous work on closed connections from interfering with recovery.
- Fix playback remaining paused after reconnecting while the Host is paused, or after falling back from shared encoding. Normal playback cancellation is no longer treated as a media failure.
- Avoid redundant Native capture keyframe requests and drain pending capture output during bounded shutdown.
- Fix recognition of some internationalized domain names and IPv6 Site addresses, and improve sharing-setting labels on narrow screens.

Update Piik App or your self-hosted Server, then refresh the page. No configuration changes are required. Some device- and network-specific reports of sharing startup failure or intermittent stream loss still need matching diagnostics; this update does not claim to resolve every reported case.

## Verification / 验证

- `npm run check`: 76 test files / 1,152 tests, TypeScript and production Web build passed.
- Real Chrome VP8/H264 checks with two viewers passed live/paused profile changes, quiet-source recovery, source replacement and ordinary-sender fallback after producer failure.
- New pause-owner regressions fail against the previous implementation; actual Viewer effects preserve same-binding local pause and resume replacement bindings.
- Independent cumulative Browser and Native/config review found no confirmed release blocker.
- `npm run check:go`: formatting, Go tests/vet, Windows/Linux builds and Windows native capture compile/probes passed. Darwin packaging and Go race detection run on the native CI runners.
- Windows App H264 and VP8 Host gates passed decoded playback, live/paused quality changes, quiet/background-source recovery, source replacement, failure cleanup and subsequent sharing; experiment-owned processes, ports and profiles were cleaned up.
- Documentation, repository hygiene and release-note extraction passed.

## Impact / 影响

Patch release v1.6.7. Browser/server v23, Native control v9, capture v7 and SQLite schema 2 remain unchanged. Existing WebRTC adaptation and route policy remain unchanged; no quality floor is introduced. Interaction and Windows x86 prototypes are excluded. Managed Server restart interrupts active media and preserves room authority. Physical macOS/Linux capture, broad public-network endurance and unmatched reporter environments remain outside local acceptance.

AAA 04cbb2c9f4 fix(media): recover sharing from initialization failures
## Problem and outcome / ?????

Windows Auto could reject startup because it benchmarked the only remaining VP8 path after hardware encoding failed. Start that ordinary fallback directly; keep comparison only when it can choose between usable encoders. Browser peer construction failures now reach their existing preparation/recovery owners, while constructors release tracks they acquired before throwing. Native event timeout text no longer assumes which encoder event was missing.

## Release notes

### ??

??????????????????

- ?? Windows ?????????????????????????????????????
- ?????????????????????????????????????
- ??????????????????????????????

????????????????????????????????????

### English

This patch improves sharing startup and connection recovery.

- Fixes Windows automatic codec selection failing to start when an unnecessary software benchmark fails after hardware encoding is unavailable.
- Fixes some browser media-connection initialization failures not reaching the existing failure or recovery flow.
- Releases video tracks left behind by failed initialization and clarifies native encoder timeout diagnostics.

These fixes passed local validation. Device- or network-specific sharing failures still require evidence from the affected environment.

## Verification / ??

- npm run check: 76 test files / 1,115 tests, TypeScript and production Web build passed.
- Windows capture build and deterministic native checks passed, including proved-H264 retention and software-only fallback under a failed/expired optional comparison. The old implementation fails the new fallback check.
- Fault-injected hardware-unavailable and exhausted-probe-budget paths both captured a synthetic window and produced decoded 1920?1080 VP8 frames, followed by clean process/port/profile retirement.
- Browser regressions cover construction failures, exact connection identity, existing recovery budgets, prepared-candidate replacement and owned-track cleanup. Ordinary Host rebuild keeps the existing Viewer recovery owner.
- Documentation and repository hygiene checks passed. npm run check:go-core passed; Darwin cgo remains assigned to the native macOS packaging runner. CI also verifies race checks and all platform packages.

## Impact / ??

Compatible patch release v1.6.5; no wire, storage, room authority, retry-policy or quality-adaptation change. Source diagnostics stay ignored and private. The complete v1.6.3 reporter exports narrow failure stages but do not establish the affected machine's root cause. No interaction or room-voice feature is included. A matching Server restart interrupts process-owned media; routine atomic deployment keeps the pre-cutover binary through bounded postflight.

AAA 383f3656c7 fix(media): stabilize sharing startup and recovery
## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果

Sharing could fail when an optional output or encoder comparison failed, while retired Browser work could block media cleanup. Browser pooling also spent its startup protection before publication and classified its synthetic transport clock as realtime video, delaying recovery after a bandwidth drop. These repairs stay within the existing capture, producer, edge and connection owners.

Self-hosting samples now follow the configured public Origin and permit the site's requested camera/microphone capture. Piik's own Origin rejection has a specific bilingual explanation, distinct from arbitrary proxy 403 responses.

## Release notes

### 中文

这是一次分享稳定性维护更新,重点修复开播、换源与画质恢复,并改善自部署站点的配置和错误说明。

- Windows 自动选择编码器时,如果已验证 H.264 可用,后续软件编码对比失败或超时会保留可用的 H.264,避免因此无法开播。
- 较低画质输出或单条音频发送连接失败时,保留仍然健康的分享和其他连接。
- 修复停止分享、换源和媒体连接退役时,旧异步任务阻塞清理与恢复的问题。
- 改善浏览器共享编码的首播画质与网络波动后的恢复,避免因短时码率变化反复重建编码器。
- 自部署配置示例默认跟随站点网址;创建房间因网址未获允许而返回 403 时,页面会指出需要检查的配置。nginx 示例也修正了对本站摄像头、麦克风的权限限制。

已有自部署站点若遇到 403,请检查 `PUBLIC_BASE_URL` 与 `ALLOWED_ORIGINS`。使用旧 nginx 示例的站点需更新 `Permissions-Policy`;步骤见[自部署教程](https://piik.tv/docs/zh/self-hosting)。本次更新不改变房间、信令或 App 控制协议。

### English

This maintenance update improves sharing startup, source changes and video-quality recovery, with clearer configuration and error guidance for self-hosted sites.

- Windows automatic codec selection retains a verified H.264 encoder if the subsequent software comparison fails or times out, instead of failing to start sharing.
- A failed lower-quality output or individual audio sender no longer interrupts healthy sharing and other connections.
- Fixes retired asynchronous work blocking cleanup and recovery when stopping sharing, changing sources or retiring media connections.
- Improves initial quality and recovery after network fluctuations in Browser pooled encoding, while avoiding unnecessary encoder recreation after short bitrate changes.
- The self-hosting sample follows the configured site address by default. Piik's Origin-related room-creation 403 now identifies the settings to check. The nginx sample also permits camera and microphone requests from the site itself.

If an existing self-hosted site returns 403, check `PUBLIC_BASE_URL` and `ALLOWED_ORIGINS`. Sites using the old nginx sample must update `Permissions-Policy`; see the [self-hosting guide](https://piik.tv/docs/self-hosting). Room, signaling and App control protocols are unchanged.

## Verification / 验证

- `npm run check`: 75 files / 1,106 tests, TypeScript and production Web build passed.
- `npm run check:go`: Go formatting, tests, vet, supported core builds, Windows native compile and regressions passed. Darwin cgo packaging remains owned by its macOS CI runner.
- Repository hygiene, documentation checks and website/documentation build passed.
- Isolated VP8/H.264 Browser checks: constrained-child isolation and recovery, short congestion pulse, live and quiet settings, pause/resume, source replacement and ordinary fallback passed. Controlled bandwidth can still cause temporary low resolution, stalls and A/V jitter.
- Windows native Auto/H.264/VP8 startup, window resize/fullscreen/minimize/restore, Browser-to-App fanout and embedded-SFU checks passed in the bounded local fixtures.
- Old-code negative controls reproduce the repaired failure paths. A real Chromium policy check rejects camera/microphone with the previous nginx header and captures both fake devices with the corrected same-origin policy; geolocation remains denied.
- Independent read-only review covered root ownership, cancellation and the producer/carrier adaptation boundary.

## Impact / 影响

Compatible patch release, planned as v1.6.4. No wire, storage, routing-authority or interaction-model change. Matching Server restart interrupts current process-owned media; package cutover retains the existing bounded rollback procedure. Unknown field reports still require device/network evidence and are not claimed resolved by local fixtures. Raw diagnostics and experiment artifacts remain ignored; accepted constraints and concise evidence live in their existing documentation owners.
2026-09-25 14:42:59 +08:00
AAA ff50e0609e fix(media): preserve playback through native connection recovery
## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果

Compatible Native receiver renegotiation rebuilt the encoded source and its playback/relay consumers. Replacement backends could also lose committed-route recovery ownership, while queued events and unfinished SFU cleanup could reach a replacement with the same logical identity. Retain compatible receivers, keep recovery on the committed route, and validate physical ownership through final control delivery. SFU activation waits for the existing retirement barrier.

This phase also consumes renewed same-page invitations through the existing grant owner and avoids closing uninitialized Windows capture objects after preview failure. Camera, microphone, interaction and control redesign remain outside this patch.

## Release notes

### 中文

这是一次以连接稳定性为重点的小修复更新。

- 修复 App 接收端重新协商时不必要地中断播放和中继的问题,并保留正确的连接恢复行为。
- 修复旧连接的迟到事件及关闭时序干扰替代连接的问题。
- 修复重新打开同页邀请链接后仍沿用旧邀请的问题。
- 修复 Windows 选源预览失败时的一处异常退出。

更新 App 并刷新网页即可使用这些修复,无需修改配置。

### English

This maintenance update focuses on connection stability.

- Preserve App playback, relay connections and recovery behavior during compatible renegotiation.
- Prevent delayed events and cleanup from retired connections from disrupting their replacements.
- Use the new invitation when another invite link opens in the same page.
- Fix a Windows crash during failed source-preview cleanup.

Update Piik App and refresh the page to use these fixes. No configuration changes are required.

## Verification / 验证

- TypeScript type checking, 71 Vitest files / 1,015 tests and Web production build.
- Go core tests, vet and supported cross-target builds; receiver tests exercise H.264/VP8/Opus, ICE restart, fresh gathering and retained downstream media.
- Windows native compile/probe and deterministic capture checks, including failed-preview cleanup.
- Documentation and repository hygiene checks; independent review of the extracted patch and old/new Web/App capability negotiation.
- Local full-suite runs reached the unchanged Git fixture's 5-second timeout; that suite passed alone. The complete suite was rerun with two workers and a 15-second test deadline.

## Impact / 影响

Planned version: v1.5.6. Existing public wire versions and configuration are retained. Receiver reuse is capability-negotiated: old Apps receive no new request field, and old pages receive no new answer field. Room authority, routing policy and retry budgets are unchanged.

The established-viewing interruption report still lacks paired diagnostics; these reproduced defects do not establish that reporter's exact cause. Physical device/network endurance remains outside local deterministic acceptance. Git/PRs retain this repair history; the TODO ledger retains outstanding reports and separate feature candidates.

AAA cdd503a98d feat: improve feedback and App lifecycle reliability (#404)
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

- 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.
