## Problem and outcome At 260–300px viewport widths, the playback audio group could shrink below its controls and overlap the window buttons. The shared flex layout now respects each group's minimum content width and wraps only when the groups cannot fit. Ordinary phone layouts remain on one row. The change also removes the unnecessary macOS-specific troubleshooting section added in v1.5.4 and updates the playback layout contract. ## Validation - `npm run check`: TypeScript, 71 test files / 1003 tests, and the production Web build passed with the interaction prototype excluded. - Documentation checks, repository hygiene and the complete website/documentation build passed. - Browser geometry checks at 260, 300, 320, 375, 440, 480, 768 and 1280px found no overlapping or clipped controls. Viewports from 320px retained one row. ## Release notes ### 中文 这是一个小修复版本,解决极窄窗口中播放控件重叠、容易误触的问题。 #### 修复 - 播控优先保持单行,音量滑条随可用空间缩短;空间不足时,音量与窗口操作分组换行,保留全部控件。 - 精简排查文档,移除上版多余的 macOS 音频专项说明,保留通用排查入口。 #### 更新说明 更新 App 或已部署站点后刷新页面即可。通信协议、配置和存储格式保持兼容。 ### English This small maintenance update fixes overlapping playback controls in very narrow windows. #### Fixes - Playback controls prefer one row and shorten the volume slider to fit. When space runs out, the audio and window controls wrap as separate groups, keeping every control accessible. - Removed the unnecessary macOS-specific audio troubleshooting section added in the previous release; general troubleshooting remains available. #### Updating Update the App or your deployed site, then refresh the page. Wire protocols, configuration and storage formats remain compatible.

Run from source
You can try the Browser application locally with Node from .node-version, npm from package.json, and Go 1.26 from go.mod. Run these commands from the repository root.
Start the web UI:
npm ci
npm run dev
In a second terminal, start the server. For a POSIX shell:
PORT=8788 PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8787 go run ./cmd/piik-server
Or in PowerShell:
$env:PORT = '8788'
$env:PUBLIC_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8787'
go build -o build/dev/piik-server.exe ./cmd/piik-server
./build/dev/piik-server.exe
The fixed Windows executable path avoids repeated firewall prompts from go run.
Open localhost:8787, start sharing, and open the invitation
in another browser tab to try watching. This localhost invitation stays on your
computer; remote invitations need a reachable origin as described in
configuration.
Browser capture requires localhost or HTTPS.
For the self-contained App, follow App development and packaging, including the platform's native capture requirements.
