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.

## 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
Windows App users can now choose whether to show the capture border. The same border owner handles source previews and active capture; unsupported or denied requests keep normal capture available. The source picker distinguishes an absent/incompatible App, unavailable capture capability, failed enumeration and a genuinely empty list. Chrome's pending local-access permission no longer holds optional Viewer reception.
This phase also reduces tooltip obstruction and contains a failed Linux encoder output within its own branch. Browser/server v23, Native control v9 and capture v7 remain compatible. Closes#401.
## Release notes
### 中文
这是一次分享体验更新，重点改进 Windows 采集边框、App 选源反馈和提示浮窗，并修复 Linux 采集输出的故障隔离。
- **采集边框可选。** Windows App 选源器新增「显示采集边框」，位于声音开关左侧，默认关闭。支持的系统上，来源预览也会隐藏边框。
- **找不到窗口时，提示更明确。** 区分 App 未连接、版本不兼容、采集不可用和读取失败；授权后可以刷新列表重试。改善 Chrome 首次访问时的观看连接，避免本机授权等待拖慢入座。
- **提示浮窗更顺手。** 统一 500 毫秒悬停延迟，减少对画面和控件的遮挡，改善触屏长按和关闭操作；只用于说明的控件使用普通鼠标光标。
- **Linux 分享更稳。** 修复单路编码输出失败可能连带中断其他输出的问题。
- **排查文档更完整。** 补充 App 来源列表、Windows 10 黄框及浏览器 WebRTC 设置的排查说明。
使用新的采集边框开关，请更新 Windows App 并刷新已打开的网页。Windows 10 没有对应的系统接口，边框仍由系统显示；文档中心提供可选处理方法。系统权限或其他采集会话也可能要求保留边框。
### English
This sharing update improves Windows capture borders, App source selection and tooltips, and fixes failure isolation between Linux capture outputs.
- **Choose whether to show the capture border.** The Windows App source picker adds a **Show capture border** switch to the left of audio, off by default. Source previews also hide the border on supported systems.
- **Clearer source-selection feedback.** The picker distinguishes an unavailable or incompatible App, unsupported capture and a failed source list. Refresh after granting access to retry. Pending local-access permission in Chrome no longer delays Browser reception for Viewers.
- **Less intrusive tooltips.** A consistent 500 ms hover delay, improved placement and touch-hold behavior make guidance easier to read and dismiss. Help-only controls use the ordinary cursor.
- **More resilient Linux sharing.** A failed encoder output no longer interrupts healthy sibling outputs.
- **More useful troubleshooting.** The documentation covers App source lists, Windows 10 capture borders and browser WebRTC settings.
Update the Windows App and refresh open pages to use the capture-border switch. Windows 10 lacks the corresponding system API and retains its system border; an optional procedure is available in the documentation center. System permission or another capture session may also require the border to remain visible.
## Verification / 验证
- `npm run check`: TypeScript, 998 tests and production Web build passed.
- `npm run check:go`: Go formatting/tests/vet/target builds and Windows native capture checks passed. macOS cgo builds require their native CI runner.
- Documentation, repository hygiene and website build passed.
- Real Chrome 152 profiles: first-use local permission, recovery after consent and source-list refresh; optional Viewer discovery before/after consent; App Local without cross-address-space consent.
- Public invitation gate: link creation, remote page and WebSocket access, App exit and link retirement passed.
- Windows 11 border on/off, source preview and concurrent-capture checks have physical evidence. Tooltip hover, keyboard, touch-hold, dismissal and narrow-layout checks passed.
- [Candidate CI](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/actions/runs/35157993032) passed at `1d159831`: Server/container, Windows/Linux/macOS packages, Go race checks and frontend validation. Publication was skipped.
- Local Windows ZIP passed packaged startup, capture probing, embedded Web, helper identity/notices and clean-shutdown checks.
- Windows H.264 and VP8 Host gates passed live/paused settings, background recovery, source replacement, source-end/restart, decoded Viewer frames and complete resource cleanup.
- Final `0b370e6a` differs from the CI candidate only in TODO/status closure. Full Web/Go/native checks and website build passed again. The access/privacy gate passed credential-leak and cleanup checks.
## Impact / 影响
Compatible feature update for **v1.5.0**. No wire or storage version change. Older Apps retain their existing capture behavior through capability negotiation. Publication and matching deployments follow the release workflow.
The independent Windows x86 experiment is excluded. Physical 32-bit Windows, macOS/Linux capture, unsupported Windows border control, and actual border-permission denial remain outside this candidate's acceptance evidence. The original missing-window, public-link timeout and URL-handler crash reports still need affected-machine diagnostics.
## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果
Self-hosting currently requires assembling a Server installation, while App port mappings can use the wrong external port or remain active after cancellation. This phase adds a verified Linux x64 Server image and Compose recipe, and repairs the existing NAT-PMP dependencies so mapping results, cancellation and cleanup follow the gateway response and request lifetime.
The image wraps the exact verified Server archive and is tested before publication. Version tags retain their original image; `latest` follows the latest published GitHub release. The two scoped dependency replacements retain upstream source, tests and licenses, with their removal criteria documented in `internal/thirdparty/README.md`.
Planned release: **v1.3.0** (compatible Docker distribution feature plus NAT fixes).
## Release notes
### 中文
- 新增 Linux x64 Docker 镜像与 Compose 部署方式，内置网页、信令和 STUN，可按需开启 SFU 兜底。提供部署、更新与备份教程。
- 修复 App 的 NAT-PMP 端口映射：正确使用路由器分配的外部端口，并在关闭时尝试删除映射。
- NAT-PMP 请求会随取消或超时结束，避免连接尝试结束后继续在后台重试。
已有配置和房间数据格式保持兼容，更新无需迁移。
### English
- Added a Linux x64 Docker image and Compose setup with the Web UI, signaling, STUN and optional SFU fallback, plus deployment, update and backup guides.
- Fixed App NAT-PMP mappings to use the external port assigned by the router and attempt mapping removal on shutdown.
- NAT-PMP requests now stop on cancellation or timeout, preventing retries from continuing after a connection attempt has ended.
Existing configuration and room data formats remain compatible; no migration is required.
## Verification / 验证
[Candidate CI](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/actions/runs/34761969362) passed for `1d8de6c4690434cd2cf44fbdee4f45b1776432fa`. The final two files changed after that run are documentation only (`docs/todo.md` and `docs/verification-status.md`), with repository hygiene checked separately.
- Web type checks, unit tests and production build; Go core tests, vet and target builds; NAT and media-edge race detection.
- Actual packaged-image checks with Docker Compose: production startup, embedded Web, UDP STUN, optional SFU startup, retained room authority across recreation, diagnostic ZIP export, non-root/read-only execution and clean shutdown.
- Windows x64, Linux x64 and macOS arm64 App packaging.
- Scoped NAT dependency regressions cover assigned ports, renewal, deletion, cancellation, lost replies and PCPv6 composition using real local UDP endpoints.
The publishing pipeline reruns the image checks for the merged release revision. First publication also requires making the GHCR package public and checking anonymous pulls of its version and `latest` tags. Representative physical routers, public-media networks and operator-specific HTTPS/firewall settings remain outside the container smoke test.
## Impact / 影响
No signaling, native-control or storage-format change. Existing App/Server installations remain compatible. Docker supports `linux/amd64` in this phase; its default is P2P, and SFU remains an explicit deployment option. Existing deployments keep their configuration.
README, bilingual self-hosting guides, container maintenance, versioning, dependency provenance and NAT evidence are updated. Completed feedback is removed from TODO; ongoing network evidence remains tracked there.
## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果
Machines with several local addresses could fail before opening Piik, and startup or connection failures were difficult to diagnose. This phase adds Local invitation-address selection and accessible diagnostics, preserves useful startup errors, and repairs media preparation and recovery without changing room authority or routing policy. It also aligns language handling, playback, public downloads and contributor documentation with the resulting behavior.
## Release notes
### 中文
- **多网卡也能正常选择启动方式。** 本地房间在需要时显示网卡名称与局域网地址，供你选择朋友所在的网络；公网邀请和连接已有站点不再因多个局域网地址而无法启动。
- **更容易排查启动和连接问题。** 启动页新增“诊断启动”，同时记录 App 与网页诊断；网页版也有独立诊断入口。启动失败会显示具体原因和重试方法，Windows 双击启动后的错误会停留等待确认。诊断模式下异常退出会保存报告，ZIP 由用户自行保留或清理。
- **减少连接准备中的无谓等待。** 普通候选发现不再等待可选端口映射；修正连接重启时旧候选与完成通知的处理，以及部分准备失败后的反馈。Native 媒体连接可在网络支持时使用 IPv6 直连，同时保留 IPv4 路径。
- **修正分享恢复中的状态问题。** 切换画面后重新计算首播保护所需的新帧；SFU 恢复时应用最新画质设置；一次应答发送失败不再使整个会话失去 Native 接收能力。密码错误提示也进行了去重。
- **改善播放与全屏交互。** 同步 Safari 原生全屏中的播放、音量与退出状态；可操作的视频画面显示手形光标。
- **统一语言匹配并完善翻译贡献。** 简体、繁体中文系统均默认显示简体中文，其余系统默认英文；保留中英文与纯视觉模式快捷切换，提供中英文社区翻译教程和额外语言接入方式。
- **整理下载与官网说明。** Release 附件集中展示三个平台的 App ZIP 和 Server 程序包，源码版本与校验值收进更新说明的折叠区。官网保留内嵌短片，并提供独立观看链接；教程、下载文案和运维指南同步更新。
**升级：** App 请完整解压对应平台的 ZIP 并保留目录结构。服务端按部署指南升级，保留现有配置与 SQLite 数据。此次更新不改变现有通信协议和存储格式。
**测试范围：** 主要验证 Windows App 与桌面浏览器。macOS、Linux 实机采集和移动端、跨公网 IPv6 的更广泛验证仍待完成，欢迎试用反馈。
### English
- **Choose how to start on machines with multiple network addresses.** Local rooms show interface names and invitation addresses when a choice is needed. Public invitations and connections to an existing Site no longer fail because several LAN addresses are available.
- **Diagnose startup and connection problems more easily.** The launcher now offers Debug launch for both App and browser diagnostics, alongside a separate browser diagnostics control. Startup failures include their cause and retry guidance; Windows errors remain visible for confirmation after a double-click launch. Failed exits in diagnostic mode save a report. Exported ZIPs remain available until you move or delete them.
- **Remove unnecessary connection setup waits.** Ordinary candidate discovery no longer waits for optional gateway mapping. Fixes cover stale candidates and completion signals during ICE restarts, and feedback from failed connection preparation. Native media can use direct IPv6 connections where available while retaining IPv4 paths.
- **Keep sharing recovery aligned with the current source and settings.** Source changes count new frames for startup protection, SFU recovery uses the latest quality preferences, and one failed answer submission no longer disables Native receiving for the entire session. Duplicate password-error feedback has also been removed.
- **Improve playback and fullscreen interaction.** Safari native fullscreen now synchronizes playback, volume and exit state. Interactive video surfaces show a pointer cursor.
- **Align language selection and community translation guidance.** Simplified and Traditional Chinese system locales select Simplified Chinese; other systems default to English. Chinese, English and visual-mode shortcuts remain, with bilingual translation guides and a registration path for additional languages.
- **Simplify release downloads and refresh the website.** Release attachments contain the three App ZIPs and the Server runtime archive; source identity and checksums appear in a collapsed section of the release notes. The website keeps its embedded introduction and adds a standalone viewing link, with updated setup, download and operations guidance.
**Upgrading:** Extract the complete App ZIP for your platform and keep its directory structure. Follow the deployment guide for Server upgrades, preserving existing configuration and SQLite data. Existing wire contracts and storage formats are unchanged.
**Test coverage:** Windows App and desktop browsers are the primary validated paths. Physical macOS/Linux capture, broader mobile coverage and IPv6 across separate public networks remain open; testing and feedback are welcome.
## Verification / 验证
- `npm run check`: PASS, including TypeScript, 807 tests in 60 files and the production Web build.
- `npm run check:client`: PASS on Windows, including Go formatting/tests/vet, Windows/Linux core builds and native Windows capture compile/probe. Darwin requires the native macOS CI runner.
- `npm run gate:client-media`: PASS with Chrome 152 and a real captured test window on Windows. Two receivers obtained video and audio; live and paused profile changes, recovery frames and cleanup passed. This is a single-machine test, not a public-NAT success-rate measurement.
- `npm run gate:client-link`: PASS using the newly packaged Windows App. A separate remote machine fetched its temporary public page and completed the WebSocket upgrade; App exit closed the link and cleanup passed.
- Server runtime and Windows App candidate packaging: PASS, including archive identity/checksums and execution from the extracted App ZIP. Native Linux/macOS package checks still run in the publishing pipeline before publication.
- `node scripts/check-docs.mjs`, `scripts/check-project-state.ps1`, `git diff --check` and `npm run build:website`: PASS. Seven documentation-size gardening advisories and the existing Vite chunk-size advisory remain non-blocking.
- Browser review: English/Chinese website setup and direct-download links, narrow layout and diagnostics/language controls checked. Native popover accessibility correctly exposes expanded/collapsed state without a duplicate attribute owner.
- Independent audit found no P0/P1/P2 issues; focused race checks for portmapping and mediaedge passed. Diagnostic archive accumulation is retained by the owner's explicit choice. The currently unreachable language menu placement issue is a first-community-language prerequisite in TODO.
Physical macOS/Linux capture, broader mobile behavior, restricted-network/endurance coverage and cross-network Native IPv6 remain explicitly outside this candidate's evidence.
## Impact / 影响
Compatible feature release, planned as v1.2.0 from v1.1.2. Browser/server v23, Native control v9, capture v7 and SQLite schema 2 remain unchanged. No new telemetry service, retry policy or configuration requirement is introduced. Public Demo remains open-entry and P2P-only. NAT-PMP dependency corrections are explicitly deferred to the next release and are not claimed here.
The existing product, configuration, translation, research and operations owners were updated. Raw audits, handoffs, diagnostic logs and experimental sources are excluded from the PR.
## Problem and outcome
Website visitors can download the usual Windows x64, macOS Apple silicon
and Linux x64 App packages directly from clearly labeled platform cards.
Each card includes a verified Gitee alternative, with shared setup
guidance and a More downloads link for the full release list. The
homepage reuses the application's 20 bilingual greetings, and the sample
game no longer displays an invented title.
Website builds resolve links from the latest published GitHub release
and validate matching mirror assets. Website deployment follows main CI
so newly published packages reach the next site build. Version selection
and release notes now share a product-change filter: standalone website,
documentation and maintenance changes do not create App/Server releases
or affect the next product version.
## Verification
- `npm run check`: 57 test files / 759 tests, TypeScript and product
production build passed.
- Website build passed with real GitHub/Gitee v1.0.0 metadata and with
the explicit local fallback.
- English and Chinese browser checks at 390px and 1440px passed:
platform links, More downloads, greeting selection and language
switching.
- All 23 website film check groups passed; the final shared artwork
change rebuilt successfully.
- Documentation, repository hygiene and diff checks passed. Real
Git-history tests cover product/website mixtures and moves across the
release boundary; the accepted phase plans `publish: false`.
## Impact
GitHub remains the version authority; Gitee is a download mirror.
Unavailable mirror metadata falls back to its release page. Product
runtime behavior and package compatibility are unchanged. Physical
macOS/Linux capture and broader device/network limits remain documented.
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.

* Close media phase and prepare piik design handoff
Embed STUN and SFU in the shared Go process, reuse native encoding pipelines with independent adaptation, and complete Client lifecycle, settings, diagnostics and packaging fixes. Retain standard Browser senders after measured encoded-reuse limitations.
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.
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.
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.
Record the controlled exact-production direct rollback and SFU first-frame commit evidence, then narrow the remaining real-network acceptance boundary.
