AAA 9150e9d312 feat(app): improve startup, diagnostics and direct connections (#397)
## 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.

GitHub Repository And Releases

Versioning owns release meaning and compatibility; CONTRIBUTING owns review and local validation. This file owns the one-time GitHub settings. The source repository is public; automatic package publication has its own activation gate below.

Main And Pull Requests

Use squash merging only, with the PR title and body as the squash commit. These repository settings are applied. Keep automatic branch deletion off: the normal cleanup step checks local worktrees and remaining references first.

Protect main with PRs required, zero mandatory peer approvals for the solo maintainer, administrator enforcement, linear history, and no force pushes or deletions. Do not require cloud PR checks while branch/PR CI is intentionally quiet; local validation and acceptance precede the squash merge. PR/issue templates live in .github/; naming is shared with automatic version selection.

These protections are active, including conversation resolution. GitHub Pages uses the GitHub Actions publishing source and the piik.tv custom domain; the repository homepage points to https://piik.tv. The dedicated Website workflow publishes the static site under website operations.

Enable Automatic Publication Once

Before enabling, accept the release packages, compatibility baseline, public copy and repository visibility; finish main protection. Then set repository Actions variable PIIK_RELEASES_ENABLED to true. This is a repository setting, not an environment variable for Piik App or Server.

Subsequent accepted PRs merged to main use the existing CI workflow. Product changes calculate one version, validate, package Server and all App targets, and publish the same artifacts. Standalone website/docs changes validate without packaging or releasing; versioning owns that boundary. Runs queue rather than overlap or cancel one another. Branches/PRs stay quiet; manual client_checks dispatch remains available for candidates. Writing a new version back to main is unnecessary and prohibited.

For a complete publisher rehearsal, dispatch with client_checks: true and an explicit candidate_version such as v1.0.0. This builds genuine Server and native App artifacts under one revision and version without tagging or publishing. Prepare its release-note section and inspect the generated preview in the run summary. For a local preview, run node scripts/release-notes.mjs v1.0.0 FULL_SOURCE_SHA from the checkout with full history and tags. Download that run's artifacts and pass their directory, version and full revision to scripts/publish-release.mjs --dry-run (put the flag after the three positional arguments). An omitted candidate version keeps the usual development/exact-tag identity.

Enable GitHub's built-in release immutability for formal publication where available. Upload all assets to the draft before publishing. A failed upload can resume its same-source draft; a published version is never clobbered. If its files are wrong or incomplete, publish a corrected new version. An older retry must not replace a newer release's latest designation.

To stop future automatic publication, remove/set false the activation variable; this does not alter existing releases or a currently running workflow. Inspect the active run separately. No pipeline step changes visibility or installs an update into a running Piik deployment.

Gitee Download Mirror

TNTcraftHIM/Piik is a public README/Release mirror. Source, documentation and issues stay on GitHub. The publishing job uses the repository Actions secret GITEE_TOKEN, which is configured; rotate it there when needed. Never put it in source, a remote URL or a distributed package. GitHub publication continues to use the workflow's scoped token.

After GitHub publication, the same job runs scripts/mirror-release.mjs on the original artifacts. Upload failure leaves the Gitee release marked as a preview. Rerun the failed publishing job to verify existing files and upload only missing ones. GitHub's published release remains unchanged. Both publishers reject changing a published package; use a corrected new version if its bytes are wrong.

For a local retry, use the original complete build output retained outside the checkout. While the publishing run's artifacts are available, download all four into one directory (replace RUN_ID, FULL_SOURCE_SHA and VERSION):

for artifact in piik-server piik-app-windows-amd64 piik-app-linux-amd64 piik-app-darwin-arm64; do
  gh run download RUN_ID --repo TNTcraftHIM/Piik \
    --name "$artifact-FULL_SOURCE_SHA" --dir /tmp/piik-mirror
done
node scripts/mirror-release.mjs /tmp/piik-mirror VERSION FULL_SOURCE_SHA

Use a fresh directory. Public Release downloads contain only runtime archives; mirror verification also needs the original descriptors, manifest and checksum files. If CI artifacts have expired, recover that complete output from the operator's retained copy. Rebuilding a published version is not a metadata recovery procedure. See artifact retention.

Use the release's actual version and full target_commitish SHA, with GITEE_TOKEN supplied through the publisher environment. --dry-run after the three arguments checks local identity, checksums and attachment sizes without publishing. The release-source policy owns provenance, selection and quota limits. The first public release passed complete matching Server and three-platform App mirror download acceptance.
