- Add global scale-down animation to button active states for tactile feedback
- Reposition toast notifications to bottom-center with updated modern styling
- Split 'Start Downloads' and 'Add to...' actions in AddDownloadsModal
- Overhaul Category Subfolders layout in SettingsView using flexbox for better alignment
- Created root-level ToastProvider and useToast hook
- Replaced scattered ad-hoc toast states with unified provider
- Updated Settings, Scheduler, Speed Limiter, App, and DownloadTable to use ToastContext
- Added variant support (success, info, warning, error) with distinct styling
- Refined toast animations and styling for modern aesthetics
- Adjusted auto-dismiss behavior to ignore actionable or important errors
- Replace split 'Default Download Path' and 'All Categories Base' with a canonical baseDownloadFolder and categorySubfolders model
- Retain absolute category overrides only where required
- Update Add window to accurately reflect intended destination:
- Single URL: specific category path
- Multiple URLs: base folder with explanatory text
- Manual Browse override: selected folder
- Centralize path resolution logic shared by Rust backend and UI
- Add backendRegisteredIds and backendDispatchPromises for single dispatch enforcement
- Add detach_download_for_reconfigure to safely modify properties of active downloads
- Add applyProperties logic handling completed, failed, paused, and active queues
- Add extractValidDownloadUrls and fix multi-url paste handling
- Setup vitest and add useDownloadStore unit tests for backend registration lifecycle
- Strip password, cookies, and headers from download_queue before writing
to store.bin; secrets remain in-memory for the active session only.
- Move extension pairing token from PersistedSettings to the OS keychain,
rotating it on upgrade from versions that persisted it as plaintext.
- Add ignores_legacy_extension_pairing_token_field test to confirm serde
silently drops the old field so existing installs migrate cleanly.
- Document intentional retention of URLs (signed params are the download
source and cannot be redacted without breaking resume/retry).
- Fix double tray icon by using correct tray id 'main' instead of 'main_startup'
- Fix yt-dlp version check to accept standalone binaries without _internal/
- Fix SIGABRT crash in did_finish_launching by replacing tokio::process::Command
with std::process::Command + spawn_blocking to avoid tokio Child lifecycle issues
yt-dlp's --downloader aria2c searched PATH for the bare name, but
Firelink's bundled binaries use target-triple suffixed names
(e.g. aria2c-aarch64-apple-darwin) — so yt-dlp could never find them.
Add resolve_bundled_binary_path() helper that locates sidecar binaries
in production (.app bundle) and dev mode. Before spawning yt-dlp, create
a temp directory with bare-name symlinks to the suffixed binaries, set
PATH=tempdir:/usr/bin:/bin, and pass --ffmpeg-location pointing there.
Existing Settings → Engine checks (test_ffmpeg, test_aria2c via RPC,
test_ytdlp) continue using app_handle.shell().sidecar() and are
unaffected.
The yt-dlp binary was a PyInstaller onedir build requiring an adjacent
_internal/ directory with the Python runtime. In the Tauri .app bundle,
sidecar binaries are placed in Contents/MacOS/ while the _internal/
resource ends up in Contents/Resources/binaries/, so the bootloader
could not find Python at runtime ([PYI-...:ERROR] Failed to load
Python shared library).
Replace it with the official yt-dlp_macos standalone onefile binary
from the yt-dlp release (v2026.06.09, universal2). This is fully
self-contained — it extracts its runtime to a temp directory at
invocation — and works regardless of Tauri's bundle layout.
Removes the entire _internal/ directory (~70 MB of Python framework,
native .so/.dylib files, etc.) and the stale .gitignore entry.
aria2c was spawned without a readiness check, causing the frontend to
always see 'error sending request for url' even when the process was
merely starting slowly. If spawn or sidecar creation failed, the error
was only logged and never surfaced to the user.
- Add 5-second readiness loop (poll aria2.getVersion every 100ms) after
spawning aria2c during app setup, blocking setup until RPC is available
or timeout expires.
- Store spawn/readiness errors in Aria2DaemonGuard.startup_error and
check it in test_aria2c before attempting RPC, so the real error
reason reaches the frontend.
- Keep child process lifecycle in Aria2DaemonGuard (killed on Drop).
- Add --status-queued and --status-retrying CSS vars to all theme blocks
- Add .download-status-queued/.download-status-retrying CSS classes
- Add .download-progress-fill.queued/.retrying with pulse animation for retrying
- Wire retrying status into hover action buttons and context menu (pause/resume/redownload)
- Show 'Processing…'/'Muxing…' text in speed/ETA columns during processing state
- Fix light theme: add missing --status-* vars to :root block
