Move the collapsed sidebar reveal control into the app shell so Settings, Scheduler, Speed Limiter, Logs, and Downloads all have a recovery path. Keep separate collapsed spacing for macOS and Windows/Linux window controls to avoid overlap.\n\nFixes #9
Retry best-effort yt-dlp media artifact cleanup before giving up so Windows file-handle release timing does not leave stale partials behind.
Also adjusts the app sidebar panel contrast and border tokens.
Detect platform system proxy schemes before normalizing proxy values.
Fail normal aria2 downloads clearly when the selected proxy is SOCKS, since aria2 only supports HTTP-style all-proxy URLs.
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
Link Chrome and Chromium users to the manual load-unpacked instructions from the README and Settings > Integrations.
Advance the bundled extension submodule to the Chromium package build commit.
Remove the SOCKS5 example from the Network settings custom proxy field until normal file downloads support it end to end.
Reject non-HTTP custom proxy URLs in frontend normalization so Settings cannot emit unsupported proxy schemes to aria2-backed downloads.
Update proxy dispatch tests to preserve the HTTP path and cover rejected SOCKS5 and HTTPS custom inputs.
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.
Update yt-dlp to 2026.07.04 and refresh the bundled macOS runtime plus engine locks.
Route every non-media download through aria2 by removing the native HTTP fallback path, native GID handling, and the old direct-download harness.
Retry transient aria2 startup/RPC failures before failing, then show the real last error in the download row and Properties modal so Windows failures are diagnosable instead of silent.
Refresh docs and tests around the aria2-only file-download contract, and advance the Firefox extension submodule to its published wording cleanup.
- Refine toast animations and durations
- Prevent extension-captured cookies from being sent across cross-origin redirects
- Clear stale extension metadata properly for single-link handoffs
- Disable completion sound by default and update settings labels
- Handle AudioContext suspension for completion chimes
Modernize the Tools release surfaces for the cross-platform re-release checklist.
- make Speed Limiter presets unit-aware and persist custom removable quick presets
- keep diagnostic logging opt-in on clean installs and honor the saved log state on startup
- stage Scheduler enablement edits without discarding unsaved draft changes
- extend persisted settings and bindings for log opt-in and speed preset state
Verification:
- npm run build
- npm test -- --run src/store/useDownloadStore.test.ts
- cargo test --lib
- cargo test settings --lib
Rename the About footer tooling acknowledgement from download engines to credits so the label better reflects the aria2, yt-dlp, FFmpeg, and Deno attribution.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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
- Ensure `initDB` sorts active items by `queuePosition` before dispatching to preserve expected backend execution order on startup.
- Update `resumeDownload` to explicitly move items to the end of the queue visually by assigning a new max `queuePosition`, synchronizing frontend representation with backend queue behavior.
- Change `queuePosition` calculations to use `Math.max` via `reduce` rather than array `.length`, preventing duplicate queue position assignments upon deletions and avoiding call stack limit exceptions for massive queues.
- Modify `DownloadTable.tsx` sorting to enforce active downloads appearing at the top of the queue view, deferring to `queuePosition` only for pending items.
- Exclude active items from `moveInQueue` logic and UI to prevent visual corruption and silent queue scrambling.
- Prevent backward state transitions for downloads in frontend store.
- Add Downloading event emission upon aria2 unpause.
- Fix toast container visual bleed on exit by adding overflow-hidden.
- Add retry backoff for deleted files to prevent Windows file lock errors.
- Lowercase checksum hash types before passing to aria2.
- Clean up lingering files upon checksum verification failure.
- Convert Tauri AppHandle arguments to support generic runtimes.
