## Added
- **WebSocket Protocol Specification** (docs/PROTOCOL.md) - Complete reference
for all 20+ events with payload schemas, rate limits, and edge cases
- **LEAVE_ROOM Rate Limiting** - 10 requests/socket/minute to prevent abuse
- **Vitest Testing Framework** - Modern test setup with coverage reporting
- **Host Control Mode Documentation** - Consolidated EN documentation
(docs/host-control-mode.md) with references to internal implementation
## Changed
- **Graceful Shutdown** - Socket.IO clients properly disconnected during
server shutdown (server/index.js)
- **CI Workflow** - Added test step with continue-on-error for gradual rollout
- **README** - Added protocol documentation link
- **CHANGELOG** - Updated with all new features and improvements
## Moved
- Internal documentation moved to docs/internal/ for better organization
- Host Control Mode docs consolidated from 4 files to 1 comprehensive guide
## Technical Details
- Protocol spec: 495 lines, covers all events from shared/constants.js
- Rate limiter: Follows existing pattern (checkAuthRate, checkEventRate)
- Vitest: 6 tests for rate limiter, all passing
- Documentation: Host Control Mode doc includes edge cases, testing checklist,
architecture decisions
- Move KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md → docs/KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md (+ fix SECURITY.md link).
- WS test: in default 'everyone' mode a non-host guest can still drive
play/pause/seek/force-sync/episode-lobby — proves host-control OFF == unchanged
behavior.
- docs/host-control-mode-COHOST-PLAN.md: plan for multi-controller (owner grants
drive rights to several co-hosts), built on the capabilities hook; covers the
gate generalization, roles, backwards-compat, edge cases, and a separate
large-room (510-peer) scaling track.

Implements the snap-back robustly instead of deferring it to device testing —
since the set of video sites is unbounded, "measure which players misbehave, then
fix" doesn't scale; the snap-back must be safe on any player.
On an involuntary pause/seek, if the player isn't ready to play (readyState<3 or
seeking) we no longer snap immediately (which fights the buffer: seek → re-buffer
→ pause → … = stutter). Instead hcmDeferredSnapBack polls until the player can
play (8s cap) and then snaps ONCE to the host's re-queried current position. A
player can't play while buffering anyway, so waiting is also more correct, not
just safer. Ready players still snap immediately (no regression).
Guards: aborts if the user goes solo or is no longer a gated guest; single
pending poll (no stacking); cleared in hcmReset.

Replace the implicit "hostPeerId present ⇒ feature supported" heuristic with an
explicit capabilities list the relay advertises in ROOM_DATA. Cleaner, self-
documenting, and the extensible hook for the planned co-host feature (owner
promotes guests to extra controllers) — a future 'co-host' capability + events
slot in without a protocol bump.
- shared: CAPABILITIES { HOST_CONTROL }.
- server: SERVER_CAPABILITIES advertised in ROOM_DATA.
- background: track serverCapabilities (empty against older relay), serverSupports(),
thread hostControlSupported through GET_STATUS / GET_CONTROL_MODE / CONTROL_MODE.
- popup: gate the host-control card on the explicit capability instead of hostPeerId.
Backwards-compatible both ways: old relay omits the field → feature stays hidden
(no errors); old client ignores the field. WS test asserts ROOM_DATA advertises
the capability. Adds docs/host-control-mode-TESTING.md (beta-server setup, wss
caveat, two-new-clients note, verification checklist).

The host-control desync dialog and the "watching on your own" badge were
hardcoded English — content.js has no i18n loader. Background does, so it now
resolves the strings (GET_HCM_STRINGS: loadLocale + getMessage) and content
fetches them on init with English fallbacks, re-rendering the badge if it was
already shown. The dialog body is now generic (dropped the paused/jumped verb)
to keep translation clean across languages.
Adds 6 keys (HCM_DIALOG_TITLE/BODY/STAY/SOLO, HCM_BADGE_SOLO/RESYNC) translated
across all 15 popup locales.

hcmHandleBlocked no longer re-checks local control mode before acting. Background
only sends HOST_BLOCKED to a gated guest, so the message itself is authoritative —
adopt host-only/guest role from it. Fixes the join race where a HOST_BLOCKED
arriving before the CONTROL_MODE broadcast was silently ignored.
Also corrects the EC-4 note: "let catch-up re-sync" is invalid (sync is
event-driven, no continuous catch-up); the right fix is a buffer-aware deferred
snap-back.

- popup: lock remote-control buttons (Play/Pause/SYNC) for guests in host-only
mode so clicks don't silently get gated and leave the button stuck; backstop
guards in the handlers and the 2.5s safety reset respects the lock.
- content: rebuild the desync dialog + resync badge with the DOM API inside a
Shadow DOM. innerHTML inline style="" attributes are stripped by strict
style-src CSP (Netflix/YouTube/Disney+); CSSOM .style is CSP-safe and the
shadow root isolates from page CSS.
- content: detect live-DVR in hcmIsLive() via a sliding seekable window
(seekable.start(0) > 1), not just duration === Infinity (EC-15).
Records remaining audit items (snap-back thrash, join race, dialog i18n) in the
edge-case log for the device-testing pass.

All five layers implemented; automated checks green. Records what still needs
real-device testing (EC matrix) and what was deferred by decision.

Step 1 of host control mode. Adds the protocol surface only — no behavior yet:
- EVENTS.SET_CONTROL_MODE (client->server: host sets mode)
- EVENTS.CONTROL_MODE (server->client: mode changed)
- CONTROL_MODES { EVERYONE, HOST_ONLY }
Purely additive; old clients ignore the new events. Propagated to
extension/shared via build-extension. Also records the audited design
decisions in the edge-case log.

Planning docs for the optional per-room Host Control Mode (Teleparty-style
host-only playback control) requested via GitHub issue.
- host-control-mode-EDGECASES.md: canonical branch entry-point — goals, scope,
trust model, architecture summary, 21 edge cases, test matrix, open decisions.
- host-control-mode-plan.md: layered implementation plan with concrete code hooks
(server room state, three-layer gate, snap-back, guest desync flow, UI/i18n).
Temporary working docs for this branch; to be folded in or removed before merge.

Switch the Ko-Fi support links to https://support.koalastuff.net across the
README badge, the extension footer (popup.html/template.html, label
"Support KoalaSync") and remove the now-unused KOFI_URL constant. Stop
generating/sending the anonymous uninstall token: initUninstallURL() now
registers the feedback URL without the `t` parameter or storage write.
CHANGELOG updated to match.
Also guard the client CMD_ACK path: only ACK a command sender that is still
a known peer in the room, so we don't emit ACKs to peers that already left
(which the server now drops as absent-peer ACKs anyway).

Add two new languages (uk, zh / zh_CN) across the extension and website:
register them in SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES, the Chrome _locales map, the website
build/lang-init/app routing, hreflang/og/schema tags and language selectors.
Fix systematic machine-translation word-sense errors in the new zh/uk
locales (e.g. zh "Status"=地位→状态, "Leave Room"=留出空间→离开房间,
"Play"=玩→播放, "Seek"=寻找→跳转, audio Attack/Release/Knee; uk "Play"=Грати
→Відтворити, "Clear"=ЯСНО→Очистити, "Open"=ВІДЧИНЕНО→Відкрити, peers
"Однолітки"→"Учасники"), translate remaining English leftovers (Room ID,
Custom) and normalise terminology. All 15 locales pass test-locales.cjs.
Note: popup.html and website/template.html also carry the language-selector
additions here; their Ko-Fi→Support label text is part of the branding change.

- "No peers yet" state now shows a localized "Copy invite link" button (reuses BTN_COPY_INVITE, present in all 13 locales) so users can share without hunting for the field
- Add v2.4.1 changelog entry covering the onboarding tour improvements, empty-state action, and the mobile landing-page fixes from this session
