- Create shared/names.js as single source of truth for emoji maps, noun
lists, adjectives, and username generation (215 animal emoji entries)
- Remove duplicated inline lists from popup.js and background.js; both
now import getAvatarForName / generateUsername from shared/names.js
- Add names.js to the build script sync list so it stays DRY across
extension builds
- Fix missing cat emoji: CoolCat now correctly resolves to 🐱
- Sort emoji map keys by length at lookup time to prevent substring
false-matches (e.g. 'caterpillar' before 'cat')
- FORCE_SYNC_TIMEOUT in shared/constants.js was 5000 but all code uses
8500ms. Update constant to 8500 and reference it in background.js
instead of hardcoded values (4 occurrences)
- Add errorToken counter in popup showError() so stale 5s timeout
doesn't clear styling of a newer error that arrived in between
- Fix EVENT_ACK handler indentation in server/index.js to match
surrounding socket.on handlers
- Add 10s timeout to ensureState() so extension doesn't hang forever if
chrome.storage.session.get() never calls back (storage API failure)
- Skip emit(LEAVE_ROOM) in leaveOldRoomIfSwitching when socket is down;
server already cleaned up via disconnect handler, avoid queued no-op
- Persist cleared peers to storage in socket.onclose to prevent stale
peer list restoration on service worker restart
- Store and clean up forceSyncReset setTimeout in popup unload handler
and when force_sync_execute completes
- Store real client IP from x-forwarded-for on socket for use in JOIN_ROOM
auth rate limiting (was using proxy IP, breaking brute-force protection)
- Remove clearEpisodeLobbyState() from socket.onclose to preserve lobby
across brief disconnects; ensureState() recovers lobby + timeout on reconnect
- Lobby is still properly cleared on intentional LEAVE_ROOM and room switch
- popup.js: guard peers/state.acks in updateLastActionUI()
- popup.js: guard state.duration in refreshDebugInfo()
- popup.js: guard elements.lobbyPeerStatus in updateLobbyUI()
- background.js: use Array.isArray() for currentRoom.peers.length checks
Adds a new toggleable feature that detects episode transitions via
mediaTitle mutation (loadeddata/MutationObserver), pauses the video,
and waits for all room peers to load the same episode before
executing a coordinated Force Sync play at 0:00.
Protocol:
- Add EPISODE_LOBBY and EPISODE_READY events to shared/constants.js
- Add EPISODE_LOBBY_TIMEOUT (60s) constant
- Relay both new events in server/index.js
Content Script (content.js):
- Layered detection: loadeddata + MutationObserver src-change + heartbeat
- Debounced onEpisodeTransition() sends signal ONLY; no eager pause
- PAUSE_FOR_LOBBY handler pauses only after background confirms feature enabled
- startLobbyPoll() polls title match without premature pause for non-initiators
- checkAndReportLobbyReady() pauses and sends EPISODE_READY_LOCAL on match
- CONTENT_BOOT recovery for re-injection after hard navigation
Background (background.js):
- Episode lobby state persisted in chrome.storage.session with recovery
- EPISODE_CHANGED: checks setting, creates lobby, sends PAUSE_FOR_LOBBY to tab
- EPISODE_LOBBY/READY server event handlers with dedup logic
- 60s timeout cancels lobby (Option B) with Chrome failure notification
- Peer departure handled: removes from readyPeers, re-checks completion
- executeEpisodeLobby() reuses existing Force Sync pipeline at targetTime 0.0
- Lobby cleared on LEAVE_ROOM; status exposed in GET_STATUS
Popup:
- Auto-Sync Next Episode toggle in Settings tab (default: off, opt-in)
- Episode Lobby status card in Sync tab with peer readiness display
- LOBBY_UPDATE message handler for real-time UI updates
Bumps APP_VERSION and manifest to 1.2.0
