- Flag font: ship a committed fontTools subset (43 KB, -45%) of
TwemojiCountryFlags.woff2 with only the 15 flags the site uses, under a
content-hashed name with a preload on every flag-bearing page. The build
validates the subset against a manifest and fails when a new flag
appears without regenerating (npm run subset-flags). JS subsetters
(subset-font/harfbuzzjs) were rejected: their wasm builds silently drop
the COLR/CPAL color tables, rendering all flags invisible.
- Responsive mascots: legal/join/404 pages served 434-500px sources for
175-180px slots; the build now emits 180w/360w variants (AVIF 1x: ~7 KB
vs ~22 KB) and the pages use srcset. Small logo spots (14-42px) now use
the existing 64/128px variants instead of the 256px file.
- injectAvifPictures copies the img sizes attribute onto the AVIF
<source>; without it Chrome mis-selects w-descriptor candidates and can
drop the image entirely.
- AVIF conversion is cached by content hash (.avif-cache.json); the old
mtime check never hit because copyDirSync refreshes mtimes, so every
verify re-encoded all 26 files.
- HTML output is minified (comments + indentation, <pre> preserved,
newlines kept for inline-script safety): index.html 121 KB -> 93 KB.
- unicode-range trimmed to U+1F1E6-1F1FF; tag-sequence flags fall through
to the system emoji font.

- New hero headline "Turn any video into a watch party" with animated
gradient highlight, sharper subtitle and quiet trust line under the CTAs
- Changelog badge redesigned as the koala's speech bubble (version and
release date baked in at build time, no version.json fetch anymore)
- Light/dark theme toggle in the header (dark default, pre-paint via
lang-init, full light theme across sections)
- Use cases and "Why KoalaSync" merged into one section with the three
strongest feature tiles; question-mark koala moved to the FAQ
- FAQ and self-hosting setup collapsed by default via shared
section-collapse component (hash deep links auto-open them)
- Compat/juggler section more compact
- og:image switched to the 1280x640 repository OpenGraph card (landing
and join page), generated during build
- "watch party" keyword added to meta title/description in all 15 locales
- All em-dashes removed from user-facing copy

- Fix cross-links on teleparty↔screen-sharing pages: use
{{LANG_PREFIX}} so German page links stay German, etc.
- Add og:locale meta tag with correct locale code per language
(e.g. en_US, de_DE, fr_FR, ja_JP, zh_CN, uk_UA)
- Add Organization schema.org JSON-LD block alongside
existing BreadcrumbList on all 3 alternatives templates
- Add article-style comparison pages for Teleparty and Screen Sharing
- Replace comparison tables with honest prose sections
- Add 15-language hreflang alternates and sitemap entries
- Add English locale fallback for untranslated languages
- Replace placeholder Draft copy with real English and German text
- Remove old Draft locale keys from all 13 non-EN/DE locales
- Rebuild outputs with zero TODO/Draft/noindex issues
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.
