Gate clipboard, extension, and deep-link inputs until startup consent is resolved, and serialize extension readiness transitions so native prompts cannot race the app explanation. Identify consent by the build revision so same-version updates re-enter the consent boundary.
Requested by [this X post](https://x.com/ixabolfazl/status/2077356127763804450?s=20).
Guard scheduler system actions against pending work, serialize diagnostic log transitions, and keep speed-limit saves truthful after backend failures.\n\nNo linked issue was found for this audit.
Serialize queue controls, make multi-item moves atomic, await stale enqueue cleanup, and guard late media and progress events. Add deterministic table sorting and regression coverage for worst-case lifecycle races.
Implement marker-based portable storage, portable WebView and log paths, secure queue and migration sanitization, and Windows portable ZIP validation while preserving the NSIS installer path.

Reject stale extension media cookie headers before yt-dlp metadata work, preserve ordinary capture cookies, and advance the companion extension.
Stream redacted diagnostic logs only while the visible Logs view is active, with bounded batched updates and race-safe snapshot handoff.
- Preserved extension-captured cookies through the Add modal, with a clean fallback when captured cookies break metadata fetching.
- Prevented batched extension captures from losing URLs or reusing stale cookie/header contexts.
- Fixed pause/resume and enqueue generation races, including cancellation during queue reservation and replay after task removal.
- Made startup database initialization safe under React StrictMode.
- Serialized keyring operations and corrected Linux legacy migration/deletion behavior.
- Restored `Downloading` state after yt-dlp retries.
- Replaced hardcoded media heights with dynamically detected formats, including nonstandard qualities such as 576p and 2880p.
Scope extension request context to each Add modal row, refresh stale metadata handoffs, and align yt-dlp format and retry behavior with Firelink's transfer contract.
Route explicit no-limit speed overrides without inheriting the global cap.
Preserve dotted media titles when switching formats and drain retry gid completions through remember_gid.
Thread extension-provided headers and cookies into Firelink media metadata loading so authenticated page fetches show the correct formats.
Include those auth inputs in both metadata and yt-dlp info-json cache keys to prevent cross-session collisions, and advance the Firefox extension submodule to the published media-fetch commit.
Add a Settings > Locations toggle that disables automatic category subfolders while keeping the selected base download folder as the automatic destination.
Persist the setting across frontend and backend startup paths and disable the category subfolder controls when the feature is off.
Fixes#6
Allow explicit empty category subfolders to resolve to the base download folder across settings, UI, and backend ownership paths.
Retry yt-dlp metadata and media downloads without browser cookies when the selected browser cookie database cannot be copied, while preserving real auth failures.
Fixes#6Fixes#7
Normalize system proxy values from sysproxy, Windows registry, and environment fallbacks before handing them to download engines.
Apply the resolved proxy to direct metadata probes and yt-dlp media metadata requests so preview and final downloads use the same network path.
Enable reqwest SOCKS support and key media metadata caches by proxy/cookie inputs to avoid stale cross-proxy reuse.
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.
- Update 'fetch_metadata' to detect 'Accept-Ranges' HTTP header
- Persist 'resumable' flag in DownloadItem across backend and frontend
- Add confirmation dialog when pausing non-resumable downloads (single and bulk actions)
- Improve UI for start/pause/options buttons by adopting the application accent color on hover
- Disable log capture by default in both backend (LOG_PAUSED=true) and
frontend (isPaused=true) to avoid unnecessary disk I/O and battery drain.
- Add a global contextmenu listener that prevents the webview's default
right-click menu (Reload, etc.) so the app behaves like a native macOS
window. Custom context menus in DownloadItem, LogsView, and Sidebar
still work because their handlers preventDefault() before the document
listener fires.
- Sort the download table by queuePosition when viewing a specific queue
so the move-up/down controls produce a visible reorder instead of a
silent position swap with no UI feedback.
- Rework the keychain access flow to eliminate the OS credential prompt
that appeared before the app's own KeychainPermissionModal after every
binary update. hydrate_extension_pairing_token now always skips the
keychain; only the explicit Grant Access button (grant_keychain_access)
triggers the OS prompt, which is user-initiated and therefore acceptable
even when macOS trust resets after a code-signature change.
- Default LOG_PAUSED to true in backend.
- Combine tauri_plugin_log filters to drop backend logs when paused.
- Create frontend logger wrapper to intercept and drop logs before IPC when paused.
- Sync LogsView state directly with logger wrapper and handle initialization races.
- launch Firefox handoffs through authenticated reconnect
- preserve usable drafts when metadata lookup fails
- reject stale metadata results and retry failed rows only
- 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).
