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.

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 app_checks dispatch remains available for candidates.
Writing a new version back to main is unnecessary and prohibited.
For a complete publisher rehearsal, dispatch with app_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.
Container Registry
The Server image uses ghcr.io/tntcrafthim/piik. The publishing job authenticates
with GITHUB_TOKEN and packages: write; no additional registry secret is needed.
The image's source label links it to this repository. GitHub's
Container registry guide
owns the registry permission and visibility behavior.
At first publication, set the Piik container package's visibility to public
in its GitHub package settings; repository visibility alone does not do this.
Verify both its version tag and latest with an anonymous pull before announcing
the Docker download. Keep repository Actions access enabled for later releases.
Image checks, version identity and retries follow
container distribution.
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.
