## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果 App startup rejected short or non-ASCII site passwords, viewers lacked picture-click playback gestures, and text-mode hints hid the existing illustrations. This phase accepts site passwords verbatim, combines shared illustrations with localized captions in tooltips and stage overlays, and adds desktop single-click play/pause and double-click fullscreen through the existing playback owner. Pure-visual mode remains available. App ZIP names are now stable per platform, allowing the website to use GitHub's native latest-download URLs. The App update link selects the ZIP matching its compiled OS and architecture from the checked release metadata, falling back to the release page if the package is unavailable. Verified Gitee links retain their explicit release version. The Windows packaging workflow also stops restoring a redundant Go toolchain cache that caused setup-go to fail. ## Release notes ### 中文 - 中英文操作提示和画面状态覆盖层加入动态漫画，说明更直观；纯视觉模式继续保留。 - 观众可单击画面暂停或继续播放，双击进入或退出全屏；触屏仍通过单击显示或隐藏播放栏。 - 修复设置短密码、中文密码时 App 或 Server 无法启动的问题。站点密码仍可留空。 - 官网各系统的 GitHub 下载按钮直接获取最新 ZIP 包，并保留 Gitee 备用下载线路。 - App 内的更新入口直接下载对应系统和架构的 ZIP 包。 ### English - Chinese and English tooltips and picture status overlays now pair concise explanations with animated illustrations. Pure-visual mode remains available. - Viewers can click the picture to pause or resume and double-click to enter or exit fullscreen. Touch taps continue to show or hide playback controls. - Fixed App and Server startup rejecting short or non-ASCII site passwords. Site passwords remain optional. - Each platform's GitHub download button now fetches the latest ZIP package, with Gitee retained as an alternative download source. - App update links download the ZIP matching the installed platform and architecture. ## Verification / 验证 - `npm run check`: 59 test files / 774 tests, TypeScript and production build passed. - `npm run check:client-core`: Go tests, formatting, vet and supported local target builds passed for the included runtime changes. Native macOS packaging remains on its macOS runner. - Desktop and 390px touch playback checks passed, including double-click without an intermediate pause and control/keyboard interaction. - Illustrated tooltip checks passed in Chinese, English and pure-visual modes, light/dark themes, 260/360/390px layouts, keyboard, touch hold and reduced motion. User accepted the resulting UI. - Real stage overlay components passed 46 checks across the three modes and 260/390/1280px layouts, including keyboard play activation, reduced motion, and no overlay over healthy playback with a quality limitation. - Bounded release review confirmed JSON password authentication retains old bodyless Bearer compatibility and ZIP names match packaging, publisher, mirror and website consumers. - After checking both providers' real API shapes, 27 focused update tests and type-checking passed; anonymous GitHub and Gitee metadata each selected all three actual platform ZIPs without downloading them. - Documentation, repository hygiene and diff checks passed. ## Impact / 影响 Compatible feature release. Signaling, Native control, capture protocol and persistent room schema are unchanged. The new latest-download filenames must be published before the matching website deploys; the existing CI-to-Website sequence provides that order. Production service updates use the immutable Server artifact and bounded rollback. Broader physical macOS/Linux, network and endurance acceptance stays under the existing documented deferrals.

- Rooms you control. Invitations, room codes and optional room passwords, for one host and up to 20 viewers.
- Flexible viewing. Light and dark themes, playback controls, picture-in-picture and a connection topology view.
- One program to host a site. Web UI, room management and optional media forwarding are packaged together.

Browser capture requires HTTPS or localhost. Windows App and desktop browser
sharing are the primary tested paths. The macOS and Linux apps have not yet been
tested on physical devices; test results and feedback are welcome.
P2P-only modes, including the App's temporary public
link and the demo, may not connect on restrictive networks.
Self-hosting
Piik Server is a standalone binary with the web interface built in. Download the Linux x64 Server package, extract it, and run:
./piik-server
Open http://localhost:8787 to try it locally. For a public site, configure your
domain, HTTPS reverse proxy and STUN address. Room data is stored in SQLite.
