When no other peer is present, heartbeats, force-sync, and episode auto-sync
are now fully suppressed (previously the keepAlive heartbeat, force-sync, and
episode lobby were still broadcast to an empty room):
- keepAlive heartbeat gated on a live peer count
- force-sync is a no-op when solo (no pause-then-timeout freeze, no traffic)
- episode auto-sync skips the lobby entirely and just plays the next episode
The solo state is recomputed live from the current peer list on every event
(never cached), so the instant another peer joins syncing resumes. On that
solo->not-solo transition the background also requests an immediate heartbeat
from the content script so the newcomer sees the current position without
waiting for the next interval.

Room ID, password, and username were resurrected from synced storage on a
fresh install (sync survives an uninstall in the user's Google account), which
made the extension silently auto-connect to a dead room and appear permanently
connected. getSettings() and all settings reads (popup, content, audio-options,
applyAudioSettingsToTab) are now local-only, and legacy keys are actively
purged from sync on install/update/startup. Only onboardingComplete and
dismissedHints remain in sync.

Media players fire bursts of native play/pause events (source swaps, ABR,
ads, teardown). Each was relayed as a distinct command, spamming peers and
tripping the relay's event rate limit. Add leading+trailing coalescing in
the content script: emit the first event instantly (zero added latency) and,
on a 150ms window, collapse a burst to its final state. Echo-suppression and
seek-flush stay synchronous on event arrival; the trailing send is never
deduped against the leading one (a remote command may change shared state
mid-window — re-sending is the safe, idempotent choice).
Server: split the EVENT_ACK handler's logging so only a genuine different-room
ACK is logged as [SECURITY]; an ACK to a peer that already left is logged
quietly as [ACKDROP] (verbose-only), so real signals are no longer drowned out.

Move extractEpisodeId() and sameEpisode() to shared episode-utils.js.
background.js imports via ES module. content.js (IIFE) receives injected
copy via build-extension.js marker replacement, eliminating duplication.
- Fixed episode guard regex to support Sxx:Exx title format (Jellyfin/Emby)
and any non-alphanumeric separator between season and episode numbers
- Migrated username, roomId, password, serverUrl, useCustomServer from
chrome.storage.sync to chrome.storage.local for per-device isolation,
preventing automatic cross-device room joins with duplicate names
- Added one-time migration from sync to local for existing users
- GET_VIDEO_STATE now returns allVideos[] with summary per video element
- Copy report shows markdown table when multiple videos on page
- Table includes: resolution, muted, paused, readyState, duration, and marks selected target
- Helps diagnose Prime Video scenarios where preview vs main video both exist
- findVideo() now scores all video elements by size + unmuted + duration
- Fixes Prime Video selecting 0x0 placeholder instead of actual player
- Fix history entries showing '?' by using h.action instead of h.event/h.type
- Update Prime Video status in TESTED_SERVICES.md to partial support
- Copy Logs button now generates full Markdown debug report (system, tab, connection, video, history, logs)
- Enhanced Dev tab with 20+ video state fields (network, dimensions, error, shadow DOM, platform detection)
- Platform auto-detection (YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, HBO, Vimeo, Dailymotion)
- 'No video found' diagnostic mode with hints
- Convert mockup from inline <span lang> to {{MOCK_*}} template vars (all 6 languages)
- New TwoPointZero branding: icons (16/32/48/96/128), favicons (PNG 16/32 + apple-touch + 192)
- Fix logo vertical centering via display:contents on picture wrappers
- Increase popup logo to 48px, website nav logo to 64px
- AVIF quality 70->80, speed 6->4, remove min 3KB threshold
- Add 32+96 icon sizes to manifest
- Remove amazon. from tab blacklist (unblocks Prime Video)
- Update TESTED_SERVICES.md: mark Prime Video as non-functional
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md with Copy Debug Report workflow
Streaming players (Emby, Jellyfin, etc.) perform frequent internal seeks
for buffering that are < 1s in magnitude. These were being relayed to
peers, causing brief video freezes every few minutes.
Fix:
- MIN_SEEK_DELTA = 3.0s: ignore seeks smaller than 3 seconds
- 800ms debounce: settle rapid-fire seeks (e.g. scrubbing) before relaying
- Programmatic seek suppression still takes priority via expectedEvents
- lastReportedSeekTime baseline updated on programmatic seeks too
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
