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 ### 中文 这是一次以稳定性和交互一致性为重点的功能更新。等待与提示更有反馈,App 启动、原生分享和连接恢复的边界处理得到改善,使用与部署指南也有了统一的文档中心。 #### 新增与改进 - 欢迎语、等待短句和六类可轮换的标签页标题共用一致的显示规则。等待短句从一开始就出现,并在停留时轮换;明确的错误与操作提示保持固定。 - 房间准入等漫画采用更克制的小人物与循环动效。改进 tooltip 的定位与指向,减少对播放器的遮挡;状态、图标和文案保持相同含义。 - 新增中英文文档中心,提供搜索、手机目录、使用教程、问题排查与自部署指南。官网 FAQ 聚焦开始使用前的问题,详细排查统一进入文档中心。 #### 修复 - 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.

Current Status
Last updated: 2026-09-16
This is the compact execution/deployment index. Product modules own behavior, verification status owns unresolved physical limits, and Git/PRs own completed history.
Accepted Release Contract
- Browser/server v23, Native control v9 and capture v7 form the current contract. Versioning owns compatibility between published Web/App/Server versions.
- Hosted Server defaults to SQLite schema 2. Room authority has no inactivity expiry; explicit replacement/deletion or grant rotation/revocation ends the corresponding authority. Explicit memory mode and App Local end rooms at process exit. Site access retains its separate 24-hour idle lifetime.
- Browser/App entry lifecycle and current-edge reconnect ownership repairs are implemented. Browser node-local pooling and detailed local Debug export remain part of the accepted media surface. Product modules own their behavior; configuration owns Debug activation, report contents and disclosure.
- Shared feedback composition is implemented: generic loading uses the wink mascot, concrete media waits use their owning comic, and waiting captions are secondary to literal status. Website reduced-motion preference and player tooltip placement follow the same presentation owners.
Website delivery includes a bilingual reader documentation center generated from the repository's guides alongside the homepage, with search and detailed troubleshooting separate from the homepage FAQ.
Deployment
Source, package identity, GitHub repository and local worktree paths use Piik.
Runtime code keeps only the Piik wire labels and stored keys.
The immutable release descriptor, runtime REVISION and operator deployment
record own exact identity and postflight results.
The existing deployment uses one Go process for Web, room authority/signaling, Binding-only STUN on UDP 3478/3479/3480 and optional SFU on UDP 7882. nginx owns HTTPS; external LiveKit/coturn services remain disabled. Participants, routes and media remain process-only. This private service is not a public demonstration.
The separate US public demo is deployed with open site entry, persistent room authority and P2P-only media. Caddy owns HTTPS, and the standard systemd service runs the published Server package. Public DNS, HTTPS, runtime assets, all three STUN listeners and a bounded browser P2P sharing/stop check passed; the browser check used synthetic video on one network. The operator record owns exact identity and postflight evidence.
TODO owns the current maintenance phase. The owner declared the first
public release on 2026-09-12. Source is public, main protection is active, and
piik.tv runs on GitHub Pages behind Cloudflare with HTTPS. The private service
remains a separate deployment. Release descriptors and GitHub deployment records
identify published artifacts and website revisions.
The matching Server and three App packages are published on GitHub and Gitee; anonymous mirror downloads match the original checksums. Public-repository CI and native packaging passed. App entry, update links and bounded two-build interoperability have acceptance evidence. Accepted product changes publish automatically; standalone website and documentation changes validate and deploy the website without creating App/Server versions. GitHub/Gitee release comparison, mirror publishing and PR-sourced notes follow versioning. Verification status owns the remaining physical limits; shared lessons live in engineering.
Media Evidence And Limits
- Compatible Native consumers share one complete stock WebRTC encoding and adaptation pipeline per local output. Different weak demands stay independent; suitable received media can be forwarded without decoding/re-encoding. Pion/LiveKit retain transport, estimation, pacing and forwarding ownership.
- Windows H264/VP8 have bounded encoding/adaptation evidence. Actual Native relay checks cover compatible sharing, weak-budget separation and rejoining, source retirement and large encoded-frame delivery. These results do not establish a universal encoder count, CPU saving or Browser-equivalent quality.
- Windows Host acceptance covers live and paused settings, quiet-source preparation/restore, source changes and subsequent sharing. The owner confirmed Windows 10 whole-display capture resolved. Specific new game/device failures should be reopened from new evidence.
- Native Host publication through embedded SFU retains video/audio; Browser to App fanout and App-exit fallback have bounded physical checks. Two independent Native sessions have simultaneous media/retirement evidence.
- The Linux runtime container has non-root/read-only, memory/SQLite, diagnostic export, STUN and listener-lifecycle evidence. This does not establish every operator's proxy/firewall or public-media configuration.
- The independent Browser producer in ADR-0014 is integrated. Bounded H264/VP8 checks cover direct and received-track sharing, weak-child isolation/recovery, live/quiet settings, pause, source change and ordinary fallback. Its native allocation and complete-frame output replace the earlier payload-only Worker path. Fewer full encodes are established; total CPU gains depend on codec/hardware. Browser research owns these measurements and failed controls. The owner accepted this scoped Browser composition for release; actual deployment identity stays in the runtime descriptor.
- Slow adaptation recovery, the extreme CPU-overload sampling limit and missing broad device/network/endurance results remain explicit in encoder research and verification status. macOS/Linux physical capture is deferred by the owner; Windows App and Browser are this phase's primary targets.
