## 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.

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.

* fix: allow Linux interface discovery in embedded media service
* feat: expand local diagnostic reports
* research: validate independent Browser encoding producers
* feat: prototype Browser pool ownership and record remaining media gates
* feat: refine Browser shared encoders and native output reuse
* Refine carrier costs and simplify release entry points
* 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.
Merged after local full validation and production postflight. GitHub CI's 16 Linux locale assertions are pre-existing and unrelated to this infrastructure-only change; see PR comment.
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.
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.
