- Undo: a genuine sleep fire now toasts with a Resume action (toast.ts
grows an optional action button; acting dismisses).
- Chain: 'End of chapter, then 15 min' — leaving the chapter starts a
15-min countdown instead of fading (SleepState.followUpMinutes).
- Clock: the popover gains a time input + Arm — armClockTime resolves
HH:MM to its next occurrence and reuses the minutes machinery.
- Dim: the ticker eases a pointer-events-none overlay toward 35% black
across a countdown's final 30s; stop/finish resets it.
(Fade-out and countdown labels already existed — §3 built them.)
audio_reader.templ's <head> was the only page head without the
favicon link — the tab icon vanished the moment you opened a
listener. Standard <link rel=icon> added, matching every sibling
page.
The Player settings popover gains a 'Default playback speed' row
beside autoplay — a compact rate select, always visible (the Speed ▾
footer hides when current == default, which made the setting
undiscoverable at 1x/1×); same setDefaultSpeed PUT. The shortcuts
dialog splits its pointer section into MOUSE (click/drag/shift/wheel)
and TOUCH (drag/pull-away) — the bar has two scrub systems and the
sections now say so.
Speed becomes a per-USER-per-BOOK preference that syncs across
devices, with a user-level default for books not yet played:
- new audio_playback_speed table (mirrors reading_speed's shape; a
preference, NOT a measurement and NOT a reading_progress column) +
users.default_audio_speed, schema in place
- chapters endpoint resolves per-book row → user default → 1.0 and
ships playback_speed + default_playback_speed (zero extra round
trips; default powers the dropdown marker)
- PUT /api/media-items/:id/audio-speed upserts (range-checked; the
client SPEEDS list stays the real gate; library visibility gates
writes)
- the user default rides the profile path like theme/timezone:
profile form gains a 'Default Playback Speed' select (server-side
SpeedOptions mirrors the web SPEEDS list), GET /profile carries it
- web: restorePosition applies the resolved server speed (localStorage
audio_speed demotes to a first-paint cache); setSpeed PUTs
fire-and-forget with a failure toast; the Speed dropdown gains a
'(default)' row marker and a 'Make N× my default' action with a
success toast
ALSO fixes a pre-existing profile-page bug surfaced by the §8 form
verification: the password section's current_password input was
required INSIDE the shared form, so HTML5 validation blocked every
Save Changes submission (dead since the shell migration). The
password flow keeps its own gates (disabled-button checkers + server
400).
Integration test TestAudioPlaybackSpeed pins the full contract (unset
→ 1x, upsert resolution, range rejection, default fallback for
row-less books, default updates re-satisfying unset books). Verified
live: 9 Playwright checks.
Alpine :style string bindings REPLACE the element's style attribute —
the rail's static background/border/z-index were wiped the moment the
binding evaluated, leaving bare text over the transports. Fold all
declarations into the single :style binding.
Clicking the end time cycles the three display modes, persisted per
device in localStorage (audio_time_display). Pure helpers (mode list,
normalize, cycle, endTimeLabel with 0-clamp and no-chapters fallback
to book remaining) + vitest; aria-label announces the current mode and
the next. Remaining values track the scrub cursor mid-drag. 140 unit
tests; 15 Playwright checks on KJV + Gardens.
Mouse: drag is free-flow 1:1 (rail only on Shift+drag, now with
window from/to edge labels); clicks land with pixel magnetism
(MAGNET_RADIUS_PX=10) — the old 5-second threshold was sub-pixel on
long books and never fired, which was the 'chapter scrub isn't
accurate' bug. Hover inside the radius locks the tooltip to the line
with a highlight. Shift+click jumps to the nearest line from anywhere.
Touch: drag is an incremental cursor (applyDrag) whose scale tightens
continuously as the finger pulls off the bar (dragScale, exponential
10^(-|dy|/80px)) — the rail is the feedback: window shrinks with the
zoom (touchRailSpan) and lifts toward the finger (railLiftPx).
Dialog retitled 'Shortcuts & interactions' with a Mouse & touch
section driven by POINTER_GUIDE (audio-keys.ts). Old seconds-threshold
snapToChapter deleted. 133 unit tests; 19 Playwright checks on the
KJV (1189ch) and Gardens (34ch) books.
The scrubber becomes a layered bar: the native <input type=range> stays
on top for a11y (focus, arrow keys, aria — its track goes transparent
via static page CSS) while the layers beneath render the state:
- Chapter ticks: density-decimated (denseTicks keeps only marks >= 4px
apart) so an 1189-chapter 86-hour book gets ~100 readable marks
instead of a solid mass; the current chapter's tick is tinted.
- Buffered span: the ACTIVE track's buffered-ahead end mapped into the
global bar (buffers are per-track and never span the whole bar).
bufferedAheadEnd reads the range containing the playhead — a huge
m4b's moov index at the file tail is its own buffered range and must
not read as 'the whole book is buffered'. Rides progress + the
events that demonstrably fire for Range-served files that go
network-idle while paused (timeupdate/canplay/loadedmetadata/playing).
- Wheel over the bar: ±5s nudge, Shift = ±60s.
- Hover tooltip: time + chapter title under the pointer.
- Precision rail: while dragging, a ±5-minute window floats below the
bar (fixed anchor; release and re-grab to travel far) and the drag
maps at minutes-per-pixel instead of hours-per-pixel — the whole
point for 80h+ books. Click snaps to a chapter line within ~5s
(snapToChapter).
Pointer handling is ours end-to-end: pointerdown maps hours-per-pixel
+ snaps, captured moves remap through the rail, release seeks. The
native drag default is prevented so the two mappings never fight;
keyboard arrows keep their native step and seek via change.
Time labels get reserved width — the bar no longer resizes when the
elapsed label grows from 0:00 to 43:07 mid-drag (caught by the rail
drag check measuring a 25% mapping drift).
Pure math in audio-scrubber.ts: pointer mapping, chapter lookup, snap,
tick density, per-track buffer→global span, rail window/mapping/ticks.
Unit: 16 new tests including both book shapes (86h/1189ch and
26h/34ch). Live: 23 Playwright checks on KJV (folder) and Gardens of
the Moon (single-file m4b); zip books share the folder manifest shape
(no zip fixture exists in the dev library). Probe user deleted.
Header gear (beside the keyboard icon) opens a 'Player settings'
popover — one option row today, structured for more: 'Autoplay on
open', a role=switch toggle persisted to localStorage audio_autoplay
('1'/'0', default off) via the normalizeAutoplay one-source helper.
maybeAutoplay() runs strictly AFTER restorePosition resolves: the
?loc=audio:<seconds> deep link keeps winning on position; the setting
only decides whether playback starts. A browser autoplay-policy
rejection (or any play() failure) is swallowed silently — the user
just taps play; the unhandled-rejection trap in init would otherwise
shout 'REJ:' into the title. settingsOpen joins closeTopSurface, so
Esc closes the panel with the other surfaces.
Unit: normalizeAutoplay tests. Live: 13 Playwright checks — default
off stays paused, toggle + persistence, reload autoplays with no
gesture, deep link lands at 600s global while autoplay starts, off
stays paused, and a stubbed NotAllowedError proves the silent
swallow; probe user created and deleted.
Off / 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes / end-of-chapter. The moon
pill sits in the settings strip between Bookmark and Volume and shows
the live mm:ss countdown while armed (or 'End of chapter'); the
dropdown's armed row highlights like Skip/Speed.
audio-sleep.ts is the pure, DOM-free state machine (arm/due/fired/
fade-ramp/label + the SLEEP_CHOICES vocabulary the templ dropdown
iterates). The component owns the timers: a 1s countdown ticker in
minutes mode, and a ~5s element-volume fade on expiry that ends in
audio.pause() — the SAME pause listener a manual pause fires, so the
progress push and media-session state land. The user's configured
volume is restored right after the pause, and the fade operates on
the element's volume the user controls, not a parallel path.
End-of-chapter fires when the armed chapter is left — natural
crossing (tickChapter) or a manual jump (jumpToChapter) alike. Manual
play during a fade aborts the expiry (you're awake, you asked);
stopSleep restores any partial fade. Per-session ONLY: nothing
touches localStorage — the reload check proves it starts Off.
sleepOpen joins closeTopSurface's dropdown branch, so Esc closes it
with the other settings-strip surfaces. Muted (or zero-volume) expiry
skips the pantomime and pauses immediately.
Unit: audio-sleep.test.ts (deadline mechanics, chapter-fired
semantics both directions, fade ramp clamps, label formatting,
SLEEP_CHOICES integrity). Live: 24 Playwright checks on the KJV book
— dropdown, countdown ticking, armed-row highlight, end-of-chapter
fire + reset, internal 3s deadline fade→pause→restore, play-abort,
reload-starts-Off; probe user created and deleted.
Space/Enter (body-focus only), H/L + arrows skip, J/K + PgDn/PgUp
chapter steps, B bookmark capture (note box auto-focuses, Enter saves
even when blank, Shift+Enter inserts a newline, Esc cancels),
Alt+arrows / Alt+H/L speed steps, up/down volume with a brief OSD,
M mute, [ ] skip-duration cycle, ? shortcut dialog, Esc closes the
top-most surface (help → capture → note edit → drawers → dropdowns).
audio-keys.ts is the ONE declarative table: resolveShortcut() drives
the document keydown dispatcher and visibleKeymap() renders the
templ dialog (x-for over the exposed keymap — templ cannot import
TS). Hardware media keys ride the existing MediaSession handlers;
the Media* keydown codes resolve through the same table to the SAME
methods, so both layers stay one behavior.
Guards mirror the ebook reader: typing in any
INPUT/TEXTAREA/contentEditable never triggers shortcuts (bookmark
notes included), a focused button keeps Space/Enter for itself, and
the focused scrubber keeps its arrows (its own @change seeks — a
native arrow nudge moves 0.08s, not a 10s skip).
SKIP_SECONDS consolidates to one const beside SPEEDS (the templ skip
dropdown now iterates skipChoices; [ ] cycles via cycleSkip()) — the
same one-source pattern as the §5 speed-list consolidation.
Unit: audio-keys.test.ts (resolution, Alt disambiguation, media
keys, keymap integrity and conflict-freedom, dialog visibility) and
cycleSkip tests. Live: 39 Playwright checks on the KJV folder book
covering every binding, the guards, dialog and OSD; probe user
created and deleted.
The rate list was duplicated — hardcoded in the templ x-for AND
implicitly in audio.ts — and phase 2's keyboard stepping would have
needed a third copy. SPEEDS is now the single exported const (the
agreed nine values, 0.5 through 3); the component exposes it as
'speeds' for the dropdown's x-for (templ cannot import TS), and
stepSpeed() walks the same array for the future audio-keys consumer.
normalizeSpeed() maps persisted values onto the list: garbage or
out-of-list localStorage entries fall back to 1x, and init() writes
the normalized value back so storage heals instead of staying
poisoned.
Pure logic unit-tested in audio.test.ts; live-verified with Playwright
on the KJV folder book: nine options render, pick/reload/persist and
the stale-value fallback all behave, button label and
audio.playbackRate agree in every case.
audio_reader.templ was the only template emitting <!DOCTYPE html/>
(trailing slash is a parse error), which put the audio player page in
quirks mode — document.compatMode was BackCompat while every other
page is CSS1Compat. Quirks layout rules are a standing hazard for the
player's h-screen/flex page even where it happens to render. Drop the
slash.
templ does not interpolate { expr } inside quoted attribute values — the
braces ship as literal text (AGENTS.md gotcha #1). Swept every templ
source for the pattern and fixed all of it:
Body theme classes: 22 page bodies rendered class="theme-{ user.Theme }"
literally, so every page first-painted the :root default (Tokyo Night)
and flashed when main.js applied the real theme. All now render
class={ "theme-" + user.Theme } server-side.
Attribute interpolations (26 across 8 files):
- api_explorer: initAPIExplorerDoc path/body/response and the Copy
Request/Response buttons (invalid JS, silently dead)
- collections: book-selection :checked/@change/@click ids and four
hx-get search URLs (collection_id={ collection.ID })
- conflicts: Resolve button id
- devices: Kobo sync-url/auth-token element ids (copy lookups only
worked because the id and the lookup were the same literal)
- unlinked_books: search-matches/manual-link clicks and container ids
- queue: status/priority badge classes never matched their CSS
- dashboard: Restore-section tooltip text
- collection_rules/collections: collection icon color
Free text goes through the new templates.JSONArg (json.Marshal) —
templ.JSONString in this templ version returns (string, error) and
cannot compose in attribute expressions; uuids via device.ID.String().
Includes regen-only drift from running templ generate (error-path
normalization) on files with no source change.
Reader fullscreen: the topbar gains a fullscreen toggle (icon state + f
shortcut + help row; f is guarded so Ctrl/Cmd+F stays find-in-page).
Enter requests the Fullscreen API with fallbacks (desktop/Android get a
true full display; iOS Safari has no page-fullscreen API and falls back
to the soft visual mode only). Margins: the foliate paginator's closed
shadow root only yields through its observed 'margin' attribute, so
fullscreen fits a comfortable ratio (6% of the short side, floored at
48px) and floors it by the measured env insets — Android reports true
cutout insets in fullscreen, so portrait phones keep text clear of the
camera band; iOS letterboxes are already env-padded chrome. Fixed-layout
renderers skip it (fxl/webtoon pack pages edge-to-edge by design).
Exits the user makes outside the toggle (Esc, browser UI) sync via
fullscreenchange(+webkit) and restore the ordinary 48px margin; a
position-keeping re-render follows the ResizeObserver re-entry path.
Verified on-device: enter -> true fullscreen + icon swap + camera band
clear, exit -> chrome back, margins restored, position kept.
Volume: revert the stacked panel — the popup returns to the liked shape
(mute button left, horizontal dragger right, dialogue above the strip);
one-line flex restore of the pre-89665fb layout.
Manga badges: MediaBadgeKind makes the library type authoritative for
the comic/manga split — manga volumes ship as fixed_layout scans as
often as comic_archive (and manga_type is unreliable across sources:
unknown/NULL on real rows), so the old comic_archive+manga mapping left
the scan volumes unbadged. Anything in a manga library reads manga;
anything in a comics library reads comic. Verified: /dashboard lands 24
title="Manga" cover badges for the Manga library and the sections API
reports badge=manga for a fixed_layout item.
Ghost sidebar: the >=1024px media block applied body
padding-left:var(--sidebar-w) unconditionally, so pages that never
render the sidebar (logged-out pages, the audio player, the reader
itself) carried a phantom 16rem left margin that pushed content off
center on desktop widths. The body:has(.app-sidebar) rule below was
already the correct conditional source — it is now the only one.
Verified in the built stylesheet: exactly one such rule remains.
Infra: main.js ?v=3 stamp bump (reader.ts changed; hashed chunks churn
their URLs themselves).
Annotations banner: audio/text bookmarks join notes and highlights —
third row kind (bookmark glyph indicator, H:MM:SS / Page N / Chapter N
friendly labels), edit-note/delete actions branch by kind, and the
banner's export now covers all annotations. The archived ledger
(ListDeletedAnnotationsForBook) already tombstoned bookmarks equally
and Restore/Purge take annotation_type=bookmark — verified live:
delete → restore brings the row back with its note intact.
Volume: the dragger sits BELOW the mute icon in the panel (stacked
flyout shape) with the horizontal slider from the last round.
Badges: the real fix for comics/manga — format_group only knows
'comic_archive' (manga_type is unreliable across sources), so the
comic/manga split is resolved from the LIBRARY type server-side.
handlers.MediaBadgeKind + BookInfo.Badge at every construction site
(dashboard SSR + sections API, collections, series, and the bookshelf
search grid — which was also missing FormatGroup entirely, so no card
ever badged there). Both renderers (templ + dashboard.ts) switch on
the resolved badge. Verified: All-Books grid renders 2 Comic + 3
Manga badges, dashboard the audiobook one.
Infra: header.templ main.js src gains ?v=<stamp> — browsers keyed an
intermediate bundle by URL and served it across rebuilds (the stale
'Add note' the user saw); bump the stamp when JS stale-shadows.
Bookmarks: notes are markdown now — capture and drawer edit are
textareas (raw source), display renders through the reader's
markdown-it + DOMPurify pipeline (renderNoteHtml) as x-html; the
edit textarea drops the enter-to-save handler so newlines survive.
Volume: the panel dragger is horizontal (mute button beside it,
7.5rem slider) per user feedback — vertical orientation read as a
scrubber clone at a glance.
Play/pause: unicode glyphs replaced with SVG — the triangle is
optically centered (2px right-bias) and the pause bars are longer
and thicker rounded rects (4.2×15 at rx 1.7).
Dashboard: the client-side card renderer (dashboard.ts — the path the
JSON sections actually render through) now mirrors the templ BookCard:
cover-corner badges for audiobook/comic/manga (books unbadged) and the
hover action shows headphones with 'Listen to …' labels for audiobooks.
BookInfo type + Go struct carry format_group end to end.
Verified on-device: pause glyph centered/thicker, horizontal volume
panel, markdown note ('**bold**' + list) rendered in the bookmarks
drawer, badges on dashboard cards, sections JSON carrying
format_group.
Transport row is now the five-button audiobook shape the user asked
for: previous-chapter · circular-skip-back (seconds displayed inside
the ring) · play/pause · circular-skip-forward · next-chapter — the
ring arrows are stroke SVGs (rotate-ccw/rotate-cw) with the number as
an overlay so it stays upright and follows the skip setting.
Settings strip collapses to four controls: Skip dropdown, Speed
dropdown, Bookmark (capture popover unchanged), Volume. Volume opens
a panel with a vertical dragger (writing-mode:rtl slider) and a
mute/unmute button; the strip icon is dynamic — 1–3 arcs by level (low
<34%, mid <67%, high) and crossed when muted or zero. Volume/mute
persist in localStorage and restore with the element; unmute floors
zero-volume to 50% so unmuting is audible.
Verified on-device: dropdowns open upward with current value
highlighted, mute flips both icons to the crossed state, slider
drag changes arc count, chapter buttons jump (pill → 15/34) and the
caption tracks the drawer's chapter labels.
A2a (metadata round): narrators TEXT[] + narrators_search (tags
pattern: accumulator + GIN pairs) + abridged bool on media_items;
scanner fills from the Libation/ABS sidecar (narrators verbatim,
abridged flag) with audio-payload promotion; editorial fields ride
the real columns while audio_metadata stays scan-derived (duration/
codec/chapters). Detail/edit/save paths carry the fields; the web
edit dialog grows an Audio section (Narrator(s) comma-input, Abridged
toggle, scanned duration read-only); search weights + narrator filter
(word_similarity over narrators_search) + narrator autocomplete added.
A2c (per-media-type wording): copy helpers keyed on format_group —
Listen Now, Mark Complete/Not Complete, Listening Progress, Your
Listening Stats, Time Listening, Time listened (pages tile swapped for
audio), Position H:MM:SS / total H:MM:SS on detail + progress pages
(duration parsed from audio_metadata). Dashboard: system collections
swap to Continue Listening / Recently Listened at DISPLAY time when
the audiobooks library is selected (stored names unchanged; restores
keep working); week card = Listening Time / Sessions / Books Touched;
cover-corner badges identify audiobook (headphones) / comic / manga
cards on mixed grids — books stay unbadged; hover action icon follows
the media type.
A2b (player): the scrubber binds value to the playhead with an explicit
scrub guard (the handle previously froze at its initial max); header
row = reader-style back arrow + Chapter n/total launcher; chapters
open in a floating top-down drawer (current chapter highlighted, page
never shifts); Skip/Speed rows share one label-left layout; honest
wall-clock session accounting (playing-only deltas, paused flush).
A2d (bookmarks): note-bearing time bookmarks ride the existing
media_bookmarks substrate (notes column + sync-aware service already
there) — audio locator convention audio:<seconds>, chapter_number
filled, auto-title '<chapter> — H:MM:SS', capture popover with optional
note, drawer with jump/edit-note/delete. Zero server changes needed.
Verified live on the Libation sample: narrators backfilled by rescan;
PUT edit persisted + overrides detected (narrators, abridged); force
rescan preserved the user edit; reset-to-scanned-of-defaults restored
truth; narrator filter/autocomplete scoped by library; dashboard
listsening wording + badges render; bookmark save with note deduped to
one row.
Phase 1 (foundation): 'audiobooks' library type seeded (schema + DB);
audio_metadata JSONB on media_items (the kobo_metadata precedent —
only audio paths read it); reading_progress.audio_offset_seconds for
the honest {chapter, offset} locator; extensions/mimes registered for
ALL breadth formats (m4b/m4a/mp3/flac — deliberate per the DOC/LIT
doctrine, m4b scans richly first); classifyFormatGroup 'audiobook'
case (gotcha 39 recomputes on rescan); Go mime table extended at boot
so media elements accept the streams; ffmpeg/ffprobe in the image
(8.1.2 — also the xHE-AAC identification tripwire).
Phase 2 (ingest): sidecar-first (Libation/ABS metadata.json —
narrators/ASIN/curated chapters), ffprobe fallback/filler (duration,
bitrate, codec/profile, embedded chapters). Fixed three real
parser brittlenesses the Libation sidecar exposed: series accepts
string OR array-of-objects, publishedYear accepts number OR string,
ffprobe chapter timings accept number OR string (flexFloat). Folder-
structure fallback now runs on the UPDATE path too (rescans were
clearing sidecar-absent series/author); audio facts re-derive on
every rescan (gotcha 39).
Phase 3 (playback + sync): GET /api/media-items/:id/chapters (the
format-abstraction list); streaming rides the existing cookie-authed
Range /uploads path; PUT progress carries audio_offset_seconds +
elapsed_seconds (honest wall-clock playing time) — the reading-
history capture prefers player-reported elapsed over the inter-push
delta, same 2h ceiling; reading_mode='audio' marks the row.
Phase 4 (web player): dedicated audio reader page (foliate not
involved) — cover, chapter title, whole-book scrubber, skip ± (chips
1/5/10/15/30s, default 10s), speed (0.75×–2×), chapter list with
jump-to, Media Session lockscreen/notification transport, periodic
playing-only progress pushes, position restore on open.
Verified live: ingest of the Libation sample (Gardens of the Moon —
title/author/series/cover/date from sidecar+folders, 34 chapters,
26h duration, aac/LC); chapters endpoint; the reader route serving
the player; playback with position restore (0:57 round-trip);
progress rows in audio mode; wall-clock session rows in
reading_history.
