Use the Tauri opener plugin for Integration and About external actions so Firefox Add-ons, GitHub Releases, Source, and License controls work reliably in the desktop shell.
Replace manual update-check toasts with inline About-page state for checking, up-to-date, update-available, and error outcomes.
Modernize About copy by describing Firelink as a cross-platform download manager and removing non-clickable implementation-stack credits from the visible credits section.
Point the bundled Firefox companion submodule at the published Firelink-Extension commit that launches Firelink for automatic captures when the desktop app is closed.
This keeps the parent app tree aligned with the source-of-truth extension repo and preserves the Add-window-first desktop handoff contract.
Refresh the official Deno sidecar pin to v2.9.1 after checking the upstream release notes.
Update Windows and Linux archive checksums in engine-sources.lock.json and replace the bundled macOS arm64 executable with the official v2.9.1 artifact.
Selected download rows now use a stronger accent-derived background and inset outline across themes.
Column resize hit targets keep a subtle visible divider before hover, then switch to the accent color while hovered or dragged so users can locate splitters predictably.
Play the completion sound through the app with Web Audio so it is not tied to whether desktop notifications are enabled or whether a platform-specific notification sound name is supported.
Keep the notification body focused on completion status and leave the settings toggle available even when notifications are disabled.
Treat max_tries as the configured retry count instead of total attempts across native, media, aria2, and fallback paths.
Route queue slot acquisition through retirement-aware permit handling so shrinking concurrency does not dispatch new work while active transfers still meet the smaller limit.
Update retry-budget and queue-manager tests to cover the corrected attempt counts and paused aria2 resume behavior.
Update npm lockfile packages, compatible Rust lockfile entries, and GitHub Actions release workflow actions.
Bundle the macOS aria2 OpenSSL legacy provider and set OPENSSL_MODULES for aria2 version checks and daemon startup so packaged builds do not depend on Homebrew OpenSSL provider paths.
Keep the Rust Tauri crate family on the previously verified patch line and hold time at 0.3.49 because newer compatible lockfile candidates failed local cargo verification.
Disable the native Windows frame at startup and render in-app window controls so packaged builds use Firelink's own titlebar placement instead of the default OS chrome.
Apply CREATE_NO_WINDOW to raw child processes used by the aria2 daemon and shared engine version checks. Route ffmpeg and deno checks through the same hidden version-check helper so Settings > Engine does not flash console windows.
Normalize Windows extended-length paths before returning approved download roots to the UI, while keeping canonicalization for backend safety checks. Detect yt-dlp's embedded runtime per platform so Windows onedir builds look for python*.dll instead of macOS Python.framework.
Verification: npm run build; cargo check --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml; cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml --lib; node --check scripts/smoke-packaged-app.js; Ruby YAML parse for .github/workflows/release.yml; git diff --check.
When a server (like fuckingfast.co) ignores the upper bound of a range request (returning bytes=start-end/total), aria2 aborts with 'Invalid range header'. This patch treats that error as transient and mutates the download payload to force connections=1 before re-enqueuing. This ensures aria2 issues an open-ended range request (bytes=start-) on the retry, seamlessly resuming the download.
aria2 prefixes HTTP statuses with 'status=XXX' in its onDownloadError payload instead of 'HTTP XXX'. These were falling through the transient check and causing instant, permanent failure instead of triggering the escalating backoff schedule.
Fallback to GET Range for metadata when HEAD fails or misses Content-Length. Fetch aria2 WS error payload via tellStatus. Escalate 429 retries with specific 60/120/300s backoff. Persist download fraction for paused tasks.
- Pass captured cookies and headers from UI state into the backend `fetch_metadata` command.
- Implement secure domain-matching redirect policy in the backend to prevent leaking cookies, headers, and Basic Auth credentials to third-party domains upon redirect.
- Ensure metadata fetches correctly identify authenticated files (e.g. from Gofile) without being redirected to login/error pages.
