+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official email address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the project maintainer at **koaladev@koalamail.rocks**.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All project maintainers are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Project maintainers will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from project maintainers, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.
+

 # Contributing to KoalaSync
 
-Thank you for your interest in contributing to KoalaSync! We welcome all contributions, from bug reports to new features.
+Thanks for your interest in improving KoalaSync. All contributions are welcome — from bug reports and translations to core protocol changes.
 
-## Development Workflow
+Please note that by participating in this project, you agree to abide by our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
 
-### 1. Prerequisites
-- Node.js (v18+)
-- Docker (for local server testing)
+---
 
-### 2. Setup
-1. Clone the repository.
-2. Run `npm install` in the root directory to install build dependencies.
-3. Run the build script to synchronize protocol constants and generate browser bundles:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/build-extension.js
-   ```
+## Ways to Contribute
 
-### 3. Testing Locally
-1. Load `dist/chrome/` as an "Unpacked Extension" in Chrome (`chrome://extensions/` → Developer Mode → Load Unpacked).
-2. For Firefox, load `dist/firefox/` via `about:debugging` → "Load Temporary Add-on".
-3. Start the relay server: `docker-compose up --build`.
-4. Use **two different browser profiles** (or Chrome + Firefox) to test multi-peer synchronization.
-5. Use the extension's **Dev tab** to verify real-time video element metadata (`readyState`, `currentTime`, `paused`).
+| Area | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| **Bug Reports** | Found a bug? Open an issue with repro steps (see template below). |
+| **Code** | Fix bugs, add features, or improve the extension / server / website. |
+| **Translations** | Help localize the extension and website into more languages. See [TRANSLATION.md](docs/TRANSLATION.md). |
+| **Documentation** | Improve docs, fix typos, or add missing examples. |
+| **Security** | Found a vulnerability? See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) — do NOT open a public issue. |
 
-### 4. Protocol Synchronization
-KoalaSync uses a "Single Source of Truth" for protocol constants in `shared/constants.js`. 
-- **CRITICAL**: If you modify the constants, you MUST run the build script:
-  ```bash
-  node scripts/build-extension.js
-  ```
-  This will automatically synchronize the changes to the extension and generate the browser-specific bundles in the `dist/` folder.
+---
 
-### 5. Code Standards
-- **Vanilla JS**: The extension must remain dependency-free. Do not add npm packages to the `extension/` directory.
-- **Privacy**: Do not add external requests (CDNs, fonts, analytics, etc.).
-- **Comments**: Maintain the existing documentation style, especially for complex sync logic.
-- **Room IDs**: Room IDs are restricted to `[a-zA-Z0-9-]` (alphanumeric + hyphens only). Ensure any UI that generates room IDs follows this constraint.

+## Project Structure
+
+| Directory | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `extension/` | Browser extension (Manifest V3, Chrome & Firefox) |
+| `server/` | Node.js + Socket.IO relay server (Dockerized) |
+| `website/` | Landing page, invitation bridge, and marketing site |
+| `shared/` | Protocol constants — single source of truth |
+| `scripts/` | Build and sync utilities |
+| `docs/` | Architecture, sync protocol, and deep-dive guides |
+
+---
+
+## Testing Locally
+
+### Extension
+
+1. Load `dist/chrome/` as an unpacked extension in Chrome (`chrome://extensions/` → Developer Mode → **Load unpacked**).
+2. For Firefox: load `dist/firefox/` via `about:debugging` → **Load Temporary Add-on**.
+3. Start the relay server: `docker compose up --build`.
+4. Use **two different browser profiles** (or Chrome + Firefox) to test multi-peer sync.
+5. Use the extension's **Dev tab** to inspect real-time video element state (`readyState`, `currentTime`, `paused`).
+
+### Website
+
+```bash
+node website/build.cjs           # Compile static site → www/
+python3 -m http.server 8080 -d website/www  # Serve locally
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:8080`. For multi-language testing: `http://localhost:8080/de/`.
+
+---
+
+## Protocol Constants
+
+KoalaSync uses a **single source of truth** for all protocol constants in `shared/constants.js`.
 
-### 6. Version Numbers
 > [!IMPORTANT]
-> **Do NOT manually bump version numbers.** The CI pipeline automatically injects the version from the git tag into `manifest.base.json`, `shared/constants.js`, and `package.json` during release builds. Manually changing version numbers in a PR will cause conflicts.
+> After modifying `shared/constants.js`, you **must** run the build script to sync changes to the extension:
+> ```bash
+> node scripts/build-extension.cjs
+> ```
+> This automatically injects constants into `content.js` and regenerates browser bundles in `dist/`.
 
-## Pull Request Process
-1. Create a new branch for your feature or bugfix.
-2. Ensure your code is tested locally (Chrome and Firefox).
-3. Update relevant documentation (e.g., `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` if you change the protocol).
-4. Submit your PR with a clear description of the changes.
+---
 
-## Bug Reports
-When reporting a bug, please include:
-- **Browser**: Chrome / Firefox / Edge + version number.
-- **Extension Version**: Visible in the popup's Dev tab.
-- **Dev Tab Output**: Copy the connection status, logs, and video debug info from the Dev tab.
-- **Steps to Reproduce**: A clear sequence of actions that triggers the issue.
+## Code Standards
+
+- **Vanilla JS**: The extension must remain dependency-free. No npm packages in `extension/`.
+- **Privacy-first**: Zero external requests — no CDNs, fonts, analytics, or trackers. All assets self-hosted.
+- **System font stack**: `-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, ...` — never `@import` external fonts.
+- **Room IDs**: Restricted to `[a-zA-Z0-9-]` (alphanumeric + hyphens only). Enforced server-side.
+- **Comments**: Document complex sync logic. The codebase uses inline comments for protocol reasoning.
+
+---
+
+## Version Numbers
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> **Never manually bump version numbers.** The CI pipeline injects the version from the git tag into `manifest.base.json`, `shared/constants.js`, and `package.json` during release builds. Manual bumps cause conflicts.
+
+---
+
+## Open Source Workflow & Pull Requests
+
+If you are new to open-source contributions, follow these steps to propose your changes:

+- **Lint**: Ensure `npm run lint` passes with zero errors and warnings.
+- **Syntax**: Run `node -c` on every modified `.js` file.
+- **Protocol changes**: Update relevant documentation in `docs/`.
+
+---
+
+## Bug Report Template
+
+When filing a bug, the easiest way is to use the **Copy Logs** button in the extension's **Status** tab. It copies a fully formatted Markdown report to your clipboard containing:
+
+- System info (version, protocol, peer ID, browser)
+- Connection status (server, room, peers, reconnect state)
+- Video debug info (playback state, readyState, network state, dimensions, error codes, shadow DOM detection, platform)
+- Action history (last 20 events)
+- Log entries (last 50)
+
+Simply paste the clipboard contents into your GitHub issue and add:
+
+| Field | Example |
+|-------|---------|
+| **Steps to Reproduce** | 1. Create room → 2. Join from second browser → 3. Play video |
+| **Expected Behavior** | Both peers play simultaneously |
+| **Actual Behavior** | Peer B remains paused |
+
+If you cannot access the Status tab, include as much of the following manually:
+
+| Field | Example |
+|-------|---------|
+| **Browser** | Chrome 125, Firefox 128 |
+| **Extension Version** | v1.9.3 (visible at bottom of Settings tab) |
+| **Website/Platform** | Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, Jellyfin, etc.

+
+## Architecture & Threat Model
+
+KoalaSync's security is grounded in its architecture:
+
+- **RAM-only relay**: No database, no persistent logs. All session data evaporates on disconnect.
+- **Keyed SHA-256 room password hashes**: Plaintext passwords are never stored. Room passwords are held only as in-memory HMAC-SHA256 hashes for the short room lifetime, with brute-force protection: 5 attempts → 15-minute IP lockout.
+- **Rate limiting**: Connection rate (IP-based, 60s window), health endpoint rate (10 requests/minute/IP), wrong admin-metrics bearer attempts (5 requests/minute/IP), and event rate (per-socket, 10s window). Health-style JSON responses are cached server-side for 60 seconds and refreshed lazily on request.
+- **Reverse proxy boundary**: The relay trusts one proxy hop for client IP detection. In production, keep the Node server reachable only through Caddy or another trusted reverse proxy.
+- **URL-hash credential isolation**: Invitation credentials live in the URL fragment (`#join:...`) — never sent to the web server.
+- **Strict CSP**: `default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'none'`.
+- **No third-party requests**: Zero CDNs, fonts, analytics, or external scripts.
+
+If you find a way to bypass any of these protections, we want to know about it.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Some frequently-reported "issues" are **intentional and out of scope** for our
+> threat model (ephemeral, account-less rooms of invited participants) — e.g. an
+> unauthenticated `peerId` or non-constant-time room-password compare. Before
+> reporting, please read **[`docs/KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md`](docs/KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md)**.
+
+---
+
+## Responsible Disclosure
+
+We follow the principle of **coordinated vulnerability disclosure**:
+
+1. You report privately.
+2. We investigate and develop a patch.
+3. We deploy to the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, and Docker registry.
+4. We credit you publicly (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
+
+We do not pursue legal action against researchers who act in good faith and follow this disclosure process.

+# KoalaSync — Marketing Copy Kit
+
+Ready-to-paste copy for product listings, launch pages, directory submissions, and anywhere else you keep re-typing the same pitch. Three lengths, one consistent message. Pick the one that fits the field limit.
+
+---
+
+## 1. One-Sentence Pitch
+
+> KoalaSync is a privacy-first browser extension that synchronizes video playback across almost any website so you can watch with friends in real time — no accounts, no tracking, and your video never passes through anyone's server but the original site's.
+
+**Shorter alternative** (for tight tagline fields):
+
+> Private, universal watch parties on any website — no accounts, no tracking, no media proxying.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Three-Sentence Overview
+
+> KoalaSync is a lightweight browser extension that keeps you and your friends perfectly in sync on YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Prime Video, Jellyfin, Emby, and almost any other site with an HTML5 video player — press play once and everyone stays together. It's built privacy-first: no accounts, no telemetry, and the official relay server runs entirely in volatile RAM with zero persistence, so nothing about your sessions is ever stored. Open source under the MIT license and fully self-hostable with a single Docker command, KoalaSync is a transparent watch-party tool that works everywhere and respects your data sovereignty.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Full Description
+
+### Watch together — on any site, on your terms.
+
+Counting down "3, 2, 1, play" over voice chat doesn't scale past two people. KoalaSync fixes that with a tiny browser extension that synchronizes play, pause, and seeking across everyone in the room, on almost any website with a `<video>` element. Create a room, share a link, press play — that's it.
+
+### What makes KoalaSync different
+
+Most watch-party tools fall into one of two traps: they only work on a short allowlist of sites (site-specific extensions that need a separate build for every platform), or they route your video through their own player and servers. KoalaSync was built around three principles that break that mold.
+
+**Universal by design.** If the site has an HTML5 `<video>` element, KoalaSync can usually sync it. YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Prime Video, Disney+, Jellyfin, Emby, and countless niche sites work out of the box — no per-site integration to wait for, no extension swap when your friends want to switch services.
+
+**Your video never touches our servers.** KoalaSync only relays tiny timing messages — play, pause, seek position, readiness — over a hand-rolled WebSocket protocol. The actual video keeps streaming directly from the original site to each viewer's browser. KoalaSync never proxies, transcodes, uploads, or redistributes a single frame, which also means there is no legal gray zone around redistribution.
+
+**Privacy is the default, not an upgrade.** No accounts, no emails, no telemetry, no analytics, no behavior profiling. The official relay server runs entirely in volatile RAM and keeps zero persistent state — when the room closes, the data is gone. Pick a nickname or let KoalaSync generate one for you and you're in.
+
+### Built for people who actually want to read the code
+
+KoalaSync is MIT-licensed open source, built by a solo developer. Audit it, fork it, change it. The extension is dependency-free with a direct Socket.IO wire implementation — no opaque libraries, no framework bloat, no surprise third-party SDKs. Want full sovereignty? Self-host your own relay with a single Docker command and keep all watch-party coordination traffic inside your own infrastructure. The official public relay is there when you don't care, self-hosting is there when you do.
+
+### Little touches you'll notice
+
+- **Episode Auto-Sync** pauses the room when someone loads the next episode and resumes only when everyone is ready — no spoilers, no one left behind on the previous cliffhanger.
+- **Smart Audio Compressor** tames the modern "whisper dialogue, deafening explosion" mix with one click. Three presets or full manual control over threshold, ratio, attack, and release.

+KoalaSync: Private Watch Parties for Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, Netflix & YouTube
+
+Tired of counting down "3, 2, 1, Play" over voice chat? KoalaSync keeps you and your friends perfectly in sync. Whether you are streaming from your own self-hosted media server like Emby, Jellyfin or Plex, or watching on a major platform like Netflix, Prime Video or YouTube — KoalaSync is designed for smooth, browser-based watch parties.
+
+
+✨ CORE FEATURES
+No account required. No tracking. Just create a room, invite your friends, and start watching together.
+
+• Real-Time Video Sync: Play, pause, seek, and watch together with fast synchronized playback across everyone in your room.
+• No Account Needed: Create a room and share the invite link. No emails, no passwords, no sign-ups. Pick a nickname or let KoalaSync generate one for you.
+• Works Almost Everywhere: If the website uses a standard HTML5 video player, KoalaSync can usually sync it. Perfect for streaming sites, self-hosted media servers, and other websites.
+• Smart Binge-Watching: When a new episode loads, KoalaSync automatically pauses the lobby until everyone is ready. No spoilers, no one left behind.
+• Smart Audio Compressor: Tired of quiet dialogue and suddenly loud action scenes? Balance whispering, explosions, and music with a single click while you watch.
+• One-Click Invites: Send a smart invite link to your friends. When they open it, KoalaSync automatically configures the room so they can join instantly.
+• 13 Languages: Enjoy a native experience with a fully translated user interface.
+
+
+
+🛡️ PRIVACY & SECURITY
+KoalaSync is built for private watch parties without unnecessary data collection.
+
+• No Tracking: Zero analytics, zero telemetry, and absolutely no behavior profiling.
+• Anonymous by Design: No accounts needed. Rooms can be joined with a simple nickname.
+• Ready Out of the Box: Install KoalaSync and start watching immediately using the official public relay server. No technical setup required.
+• RAM-Only Public Server: The official relay server operates entirely in volatile RAM. No databases, no stored watch history, no persistent room data. Room data exists only temporarily and disappears when the room closes.
+• Self-Hostable: Want full control? You can run your own private KoalaSync relay server via Docker in seconds. Self-hosting is optional and never required.
+
+
+
+🚀 HOW IT WORKS
+1. Install KoalaSync.
+2. Click "Create Room" to start a private watch party.
+3. Share the invite link with your friends.
+4. Open your favorite streaming site or media server.
+5. Select the active video tab.
+6. Press play — everyone stays perfectly in sync.
+
+
+
+⚙️ UNDER THE HOOD
+KoalaSync is lightweight, transparent, and built with privacy in mind.
+
+• On-Demand Relay: Playback state is synchronized through a custom WebSocket-based relay server. No persistent connection — the relay is only active while you're in a room. No background traffic, no idle connections.
+• No Media Streaming: KoalaSync does not stream, proxy, upload, download, or redistribute any video content. Everyone watches from their own browser on the original website.
+• Temporary Room State Only: The relay server only coordinates room state such as play, pause, seek position, active target, nickname, and readiness status.
+• Docker Self-Hosting: The relay server can be self-hosted with Docker if you prefer to run your own private instance.
+• Open Architecture: The project is designed to be inspectable, forkable, and easy to review.
+
+
+
+💻 OPEN SOURCE
+KoalaSync was built by a solo developer who needed a fast, secure way to watch movies with friends. The code is fully transparent under the MIT license: audit it, fork it, improve it, or self-host your own relay server.

Manual bumps will cause merge conflicts and build failures.
 > - **Website Versioning**: **NEVER** manually modify the version fallback strings in `website/index.html`. The website dynamically fetches the latest version and release date from `website/version.json` at runtime using `website/app.js`. Manual bumps in the HTML file are completely redundant and should be avoided.

+# KoalaSync Changelog
+
+All notable changes to the KoalaSync browser extension and relay server.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.5.0] — 2026-06-29
+
+### Added
+- **Extension + Relay: Host Control Mode** — Room owners can now switch a room between open playback control and host-controlled playback. In host-only mode, guests stay synchronized but their local play, pause, and seek actions are not rebroadcast to the room.
+- **Backward-compatible Host Control rollout** — The extension only shows Host Control when the connected relay supports it, so users on older self-hosted servers do not see controls that cannot work yet.
+- **Extension: Clear host and guest states** — The popup shows the current control mode, host status, peer roles, and localized guest guidance so participants understand when playback is controlled by the host.
+- **Website: FAQ clarification for streaming access** — The landing page and FAQ structured data now state clearly that KoalaSync does not stream, host, share, or bypass access to video content. Every participant watches locally and needs their own access to services such as Netflix.
+
+### Changed
+- **Playback sync now follows the room's control setting** — When Host Control is enabled, only the host can drive room-wide playback changes; guests can still watch in sync without accidentally changing playback for everyone.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.4.6] — 2026-06-23
+
+### Fixed
+- **Room and settings are no longer stored in `chrome.storage.sync`** — Room ID, password, and username were being 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 are now local-only, and legacy keys are actively purged from sync on install/update/startup. Only `onboardingComplete` and `dismissedHints` remain in sync.
+- **No server traffic while alone in a room** — When you are the only peer, 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). The solo state is re-evaluated live on every event — never cached — so the instant another peer joins, syncing resumes immediately, including an instant state push so the newcomer sees your current position without waiting for the next heartbeat.
+
+## [v2.4.4] — 2026-06-23
+
+### Changed
+- **Server: Event rate limit raised 30 → 50 per 10s**, and all connection/event/health rate-limit thresholds and windows extracted into named constants.
+- **Extension: Reconnect backoff tuned and jittered** — capped at ~8 attempts/60s (under the per-IP connection limit) with ±20% jitter to de-synchronize reconnect herds after a server blip.
+- **CI: Added a verification workflow** running lint, tests, audits, and builds on every push/PR; the release build now uses `npm ci`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Extension: Offline event-queue flush is now paced** (small batches instead of one synchronous burst) so a reconnect after a long outage no longer trips the server event limit and gets disconnected on rejoin.
+- **Extension: Ping liveness tolerates one missed PONG** — a reconnect is forced only after 2 consecutive misses (~20s) instead of a single 5s timeout, avoiding spurious drops under transient load.
+- **Extension: `socket.send()` failures are caught and re-queued** instead of losing the event on a disconnect race.
+
+## [v2.4.3] — 2026-06-19
+
+### Added
+- **Two new languages: Ukrainian (`uk`) and Chinese (`zh`, Simplified)** — added across the extension (UI strings + Chrome `_locales`) and the website (localized pages, hreflang/Open Graph/schema tags, language selector), bringing the total to 15 languages.
+
+### Changed
+- **Play/pause sync coalescing** — The content script now collapses rapid bursts of native play/pause events (source swaps, ABR/quality switches, ad transitions, page teardown) into a single relayed command: the first event is sent instantly and a short 150ms window absorbs the rest. This cuts redundant relay traffic and stops bursts from tripping the server's per-socket event rate limit.
+
+### Fixed
+- **zh/uk translation quality** — Corrected systematic machine-translation word-sense errors in the two new locales (e.g. "Play", "Status", "Leave Room", "Clear", "Open", "peers", and audio compressor terms) and translated the remaining English leftovers.
+- **Relay logging** — An `EVENT_ACK` aimed at a peer that already left is now logged quietly instead of as a `[SECURITY]` cross-room event, so genuine cross-room attempts stand out in the logs.
+
+## [v2.4.2] — 2026-06-19
+
+### Changed
+- **Extension: Optimized uninstall URL registration** — Extracted registration into a reusable, race-condition-protected `initUninstallURL()` helper. It registers the uninstall feedback URL with browser context on both extension installation/update and browser startup to prevent state loss, without storing or sending an installation token.
+
+## [v2.4.1] — 2026-06-19
+
+### Added
+- **Extension: Onboarding tour now has a closing step** — The first-run tour ends on a dedicated "You're all set!" card (the `ONBOARDING_5` copy that already existed in all 13 locales but was never shown). The tour no longer stops abruptly on the username step.
+- **Extension: One-click invite from the empty peer list** — The "No peers yet" state now shows a **📋 Invite Link** button that copies the invite link to the clipboard, so users can share it without hunting for the field.
+
+### Changed
+- **Extension: Cleaner onboarding welcome** — Step 1 is now a centered welcome card instead of spotlighting the logo title. Added a guard so target-less tour steps center cleanly.
+- **Website: Mobile comparison table** — The KoalaSync vs Teleparty table stacks into per-feature cards on phones instead of forcing horizontal scrolling; feature descriptions are shown again on mobile.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Extension: Onboarding step counter/progress placeholders** — Static `Step 1 of 3` / 33% fallbacks in `popup.html` corrected to match the actual 5-step tour (`Step 1 of 5` / 20%).
+- **Website: Mobile navigation restored** — The header hamburger menu was hidden by a `display:none !important` rule, leaving the nav links unreachable on phones. Re-enabled, with spacing kept comfortable down to ~320px.
+- **Website: Hero alignment on mobile** — A fixed-width extension mockup forced the hero grid column wider than the container, shifting all hero content off-center (larger left margin than right). The mockup is now responsive (`width:100%/max-width` + `minmax(0,1fr)` grid track).
+- **Website: Reveal-animation fallback** — Added a `<noscript>` style fallback and `IntersectionObserver` feature guards so scroll-revealed content can never stay invisible if JavaScript is disabled or unsupported.
+
+## [v2.4.0] — 2026-06-16
+
+### Added
+- **Extension: Lazy WebSocket connection** — The extension no longer maintains a permanent WebSocket connection to the relay server. Instead, the connection is established only when actively in a room or when the popup is opened with a saved room configuration. This improves privacy (IP is not exposed while idle), reduces battery/network usage, and prevents the server from tracking online status of inactive users. Automatic reconnect is guaranteed while in a room — zero behavior change during active sync sessions. See `connectIntent` flag in `background.js`.
+- **Extension: Episode title regex unification** — `extractEpisodeId()` had inconsistent regex patterns between `background.js` and `content.js`. The content script correctly matched Crunchyroll-style separators (`S01/E01`) while the service worker's stricter pattern (`[\s\-\.]*`) silently rejected them, causing episode lobby sync failures. Now unified to `[^a-zA-Z0-9]*` via shared `episode-utils.js`.
+- **Unit tests: `rate-limiter` and `episode-utils`** — 12 test groups for rate-limit functions and 30+ assertions for episode title parsing, covering all 6 separator types (dash, dot, slash, colon, comma, space). Run automatically via `npm run verify`.
+
+### Changed
+- **Server: Rate limiter extracted to `rate-limiter.js`** — 6 rate-limit functions, all rate-limit Maps, and cleanup intervals moved from `index.js` (149 lines). `index.js` now imports via facade pattern with re-exports for backward compatibility.
+- **Extension: Episode utilities extracted to `episode-utils.js`** — `extractEpisodeId()` and `sameEpisode()` deduplicated from `background.js` and `content.js`. The shared module is imported as an ES module by the service worker and injected into the content script IIFE by the build script.
+- **Build: `"type": "module"` in root `package.json`** — All scripts standardized to ESM (`.mjs`) or explicitly CommonJS (`.cjs`). Eliminated Node.js `MODULE_TYPELESS_PACKAGE_JSON` warnings.
+- **Build: 4 CJS scripts renamed to `.cjs`** — `build-extension.js`, `test-content-video-finder.js`, `test-locales.js`, `website/build.js`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Server: npm audit resolved** — `ws` package vulnerability (CVE-2024-37890) fixed. Zero vulnerabilities in production dependencies.
+- **Pop-up: Connection status flicker fixed** — Removed hardcoded `disconnected` state on every pop-up open. Status now reflects actual background state from the first frame.
+- **Pop-up: Join button timeout improved** — No longer blindly re-enables after 15s. Polls connection status and extends window if still connecting.
+- **Pop-up: Validation failure state cleanup** — Custom server URL validation errors now properly reset `isProcessingConnection` and `joinBtnTimeout`.
+- **Extension: `WEB_JOIN_REQUEST` channel leak fixed** — Missing `sendResponse()` call when already in the target room.
+- **Extension: `LEAVE_ROOM` now clears `roomId` from storage** — Prevents phantom auto-reconnect on browser restart after explicit leave.
+- **Extension: Reconnect attempt counters reset on leave** — Prevents stale `reconnecting` status display after intentional disconnect.
+
+## [v2.3.2] — 2026-06-16
+
+### Changed
+- **Extension: Refined Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese translations**: Complete manual review and improvement of all Spanish (`es`), Italian (`it`), Portuguese — Brazil (`pt-BR`), and Portuguese — Portugal (`pt`) locale files for both the extension UI and the landing website. Thanks to [@Kaia-Alenia](https://github.com/Kaia-Alenia) for the native-quality translations.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Extension: Locale typos and corrupted characters fixed**: Repaired a Korean refresh button label (`Refreschi` → `새로고침`), a corrupted Korean connection status string (`연kel` → `연결`), a Korean character contaminating a Japanese string (`의` → `の`), and a Dutch typo (`cmmuniceren` → `communiceren`).
+- **Server: Admin token length leak fixed (timing side-channel)**: `isAdminMetricsAuthorized()` returned early when the provided buffer had a different length than the expected token, leaking the token length via response timing. Now `crypto.timingSafeEqual` runs in constant time on every attempt regardless of length match. Reported by [@Kaia-Alenia](https://github.com/Kaia-Alenia).

+
+## [v2.3.1] — 2026-06-15
+
+### Fixed
+- **Server: Concurrent peer join race condition and teardown error handling**
+
+### Changed
+- **Server: Smart unhandled rejection handling (exits after 5/min instead of 1)**
+- **Server: Optimized admin health metrics allocation**
+
+---
+
+## [v2.3.0] — 2026-06-14
+
+### Added
+- **Extension: New Interactive Onboarding Tour**: A fully redesigned, interactive step-by-step onboarding experience.
+- **Extension: Auto-Switch to Sync Tab**: The UI now intelligently switches to the Sync tab when you join a room to guide video selection.
+- **Extension: Uninstall URL Integration**: Prepared an uninstall URL setup that works natively across Chrome and Firefox, cleanly attaching browser context for analytics.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Extension: Infinite Seek Loop Prevention**: Replaced the fragile time-based seek suppression with an exact target-time verification mechanism, entirely eliminating infinite seek loops on slow buffers.
+- **Extension: Zombie Connections Resolved**: Implemented a forced disconnect upon ping timeouts, ensuring the extension reliably auto-reconnects when the WebSocket hangs in a half-open state.
+- **Extension: Room Switching Architecture**: Joining a new room while already connected now explicitly severs the old connection first, preventing state cross-contamination. 
+- **Extension: Join/Leave Race Conditions**: Added UI locks to prevent users from accidentally sending conflicting connection commands via rapid double-clicking.
+- **Extension: Same-Room Invite Bypass**: Clicking an invite link for the room you are currently in no longer triggers a redundant reconnect, instead instantly confirming the join.
+- **Extension: Audio settings now propagate immediately to video tabs**: Changes made in the audio options page are now instantly applied to the active video tab. Previously, settings saved to `chrome.storage.local` were not picked up by the background listener, which only watched `chrome.storage.sync`.
+- **Extension: Audio compressor now logs enable/disable state and resume failures**: The compressor reports when it is activated or bypassed, and warns if the `AudioContext` cannot be resumed (e.g. browser autoplay policy requires a user gesture on the page first).
+- **Extension: Video heartbeat no longer sent when alone in a room**: The full media metadata `PEER_STATUS` is now only emitted when other peers are present. The session keepalive (background heartbeat) continues to run unaffected, preventing the server reaper from disconnecting idle peers.
+- **Server: Increased `failedAuthAttempts` eviction threshold from 50k to 200k**: Reduces frequency of expensive batch evictions under high auth-failure volumes, smoothing heap usage.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.2.4] — 2026-06-10
+
+### Fixed
+- **Extension: Error notifications now respect `browserNotifications` setting**: Server error events (e.g. "Server is restarting") no longer trigger a browser notification when the user has disabled notifications in the extension settings.
+- **Server: Misleading reconnect message corrected**: The graceful shutdown message no longer tells users to manually reconnect — the extension handles this automatically.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.2.3] — 2026-06-10
+
+### Added
+- **Artifact Attestations (Supply Chain Security)**: All release artifacts (Docker images, extension ZIPs) are now published with signed [SLSA provenance attestations](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/secure-your-work/use-artifact-attestations) via `actions/attest@v4`. Anyone can verify that an artifact was built from this repository using `gh attestation verify`.
+- **Admin health: `rateLimits.denied` counters**: New rolling counters track actual rate-limit denials (429 responses), separate from `rateLimits.trackedClients` which reports unique IPs in the tracking window.
+- **Docker HEALTHCHECK**: Container health is now checked every 30s via `GET /health`.
+- **`npm start` script**: Server can now be started with `npm start`.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Server: `activeLobby` no longer silently overwritten**: If a second peer sends `EPISODE_LOBBY` while a lobby is already active, the request is now ignored instead of destroying the first peer's lobby.
+- **CORS log sanitization**: Rejected origin headers are sanitized (`\r\n` stripped) to prevent log injection.
+- **Extension: pagehide resource leak**: `keepAlivePort`, `lobbyPollTimer`, heartbeats, and `MutationObserver` are now properly cleaned up when a tab is hidden or enters bfcache.
+- **Extension: unhandled storage rejections**: `chrome.storage.session.set()` calls in the disconnect handler now have `.catch(() => {})`.
+- **`'Pixel'` duplicate in name generator**: Second occurrence replaced with `'Nitro'` for better name diversity.
+- **`'opposum'` typo**: Corrected to `'opossum'` in the emoji map and added `'Opossum'` to `USERNAME_NOUNS`.
+- **Test reliability**: `test-server-routes.mjs` now sets `ADMIN_METRICS_TOKEN` before importing the server module, fixing standalone test execution.
+- **`MAX_PEERS_PER_ROOM` konsistent**: `.env` auf 25 gesetzt (wie `.env.example`).
+- **pt-BR.json duplicate removed**: Duplicate `FOOTER_DISCLAIMER` key removed from website locale.
+
+### Changed
+- **Admin health: `rateLimitEntries` renamed to `rateLimits.trackedClients`**: The field now accurately describes that it tracks unique clients in the rate-limit window, not denial counts. Update your json_exporter/Grafana config accordingly.
+- **README restructured**: Sections reordered by progressive technical depth. New "Supply Chain Security" subsection under "For Developers & Self-Hosters" with verification commands.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.2.2] — 2026-06-09
+
+### Added
+- **Chrome Web Store i18n Support**: Added `default_locale: "en"` to manifest and created `_locales/*/messages.json` for all 13 supported languages. This unlocks the language selection dropdown in the Chrome Web Store dashboard, allowing translated store listings (title, description) per locale. The extension's own UI translations (`locales/*.json` + `i18n.js`) remain unchanged.
+- **Locale test coverage**: Extended `scripts/test-locales.js` to validate all `_locales/*/messages.json` files (correct format, required keys, no duplicates) and verify `default_locale` is set in the manifest.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Copy Logs button alignment**: Removed stray `margin-top: 8px` inherited from `.secondary` class that pushed the button 8px down in the connection status row.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.2.1] — 2026-06-09
+
+### Added
+- **Server Ping Display**: Measures round-trip latency to the relay server via application-level ping/pong events. The extension sends `PING { t }` every 15 seconds; the server responds with `PONG { t }`. Round-trip time is calculated client-side and displayed in the Status tab, color-coded (<50ms green, 50–150ms yellow, >150ms red). No ping value is shown when disconnected or if the server does not respond within 5 seconds.
+- **Peer Ping Response (Future-Proof)**: The extension can now respond to incoming `PING { t, sender }` events from other peers by sending back `PONG { t, target: sender }`. The relay server forwards `PING` to the target peer and routes `PONG` back to the original sender. Both client and server validate that peers are in the same room before forwarding/routing. Peer-to-peer ping initiation will be activated in a future extension update without requiring a server restart.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.2.0] — 2026-06-08
+
+### Added
+- **Web Audio API Compressor**: Built-in audio dynamic range compression with four presets (Recommended, Dynamic Range, Vocal Enhancement, Smooth) and fully customizable sliders (threshold, ratio, knee, attack, release). Uses dry/wet crossfade (40ms linear ramp) to avoid clicks. Configured via the new Audio Options page accessible from the Settings tab.
+- **Audio Options Page** (`audio-options.html`): Dedicated settings page with master toggle, compressor preset selector, real-time custom sliders, and equalizer placeholder. Dark theme matching the popup design.
+- **Feature Hint System**: Generic `dismissedHints` array in sync storage for announcing new features. First hint highlights the Audio Options entry in Settings. Extensible for future features.
+
+### Changed
+- **Support Links**: Static footer badges on the Settings and Status tabs linking to the developer's support page. README and website footer updated with a Support KoalaSync badge.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Portuguese (PT) locale**: Removed Italian contamination — "sincronizzazione" → "sincronização", "tempo reale" → "tempo real", "Link di Invito" → "Link de Convite", "Sair della Sala" → "Sair da Sala".
+- **Korean locale**: Fixed broken character in `HOWTO_STEP_2_TEXT` (`클rip보드` → `클립보드`).
+- **Website COMP_FEAT_6_KOALA**: Normalized from inconsistent "6 Languages" to "13 Languages" across all locale files (en, de, es, fr, pt-BR, ru).
+- **Debug report showing wrong logs**: Fixed `logs.slice(-50)` and `history.slice(-20)` in the "Copy Debug Report" feature. Since `addLog()` and `addToHistory()` use `unshift` (inserting entries at index 0), the arrays are ordered newest-first. `slice(-N)` took the N **oldest** entries instead of the N **newest**. Changed to `slice(0, N).reverse()` to correctly include the most recent logs and display them chronologically.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.1.2] — 2026-06-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **Episode guard regex**: Fixed `isDifferentEpisode()` not detecting episode changes when the MediaSession title uses `Sxx:Exx` format (colon separator, as used by Jellyfin/Emby). The regex character class `[\s\-\.]` was replaced with `[^a-zA-Z0-9]` to match **any** non-alphanumeric separator between season and episode numbers, preventing play/pause/seek commands from a different episode leaking through and incorrectly manipulating a peer's playback.
+- **Per-device storage isolation**: Migrated `username`, `roomId`, `password`, `serverUrl`, and `useCustomServer` from `chrome.storage.sync` (synced across Google account) to `chrome.storage.local` (per-device). This prevents the extension from automatically joining the same room with the same name on multiple devices. Existing user data is migrated silently on first run; all preferences (`filterNoise`, `autoSyncNextEpisode`, etc.) remain synced.
+
+### Changed
+- Added one-time migration fallback in `getSettings()` and popup `init()` to copy existing user settings from `storage.sync` to `storage.local` on first launch after the update.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.1.0] — 2026-06-04
+
+### Added
+- Added full translation support for 7 new languages to both the browser extension popup settings and landing website: Italian (`it`), Polish (`pl`), Turkish (`tr`), Dutch (`nl`), Japanese (`ja`), Korean (`ko`), and European Portuguese (`pt`).
+- Implemented robust, centralized browser system language detection mapping `pt-BR` to Brazilian Portuguese and other `pt` locales (like `pt-PT`) automatically to European Portuguese.
+- Added flag emojis to language selector dropdowns in both the extension popup and landing/utility web pages for quicker visual identification.
+- Added 181 translation keys parity validation suite checks for the new languages.
+
+### Fixed & Hardened (Extension Audit)
+- Guarded all website `localStorage` interactions to prevent initialization/join flow script failures on privacy-hardened or cookie-blocked browser configurations.
+- Added robust validation null-guards to `chrome.runtime.onMessage` listeners across all extension scripts (`bridge.js`, `content.js`, `background.js`, `popup.js`) to reject unexpected runtime messages.
+- Guarded CustomEvent payload destructuring in `bridge.js` to ensure stability when receiving third-party page events.
+- Wrapped `video.currentTime` seeking adjustments during forced sync in content scripts with exception handling to absorb uninitialized video state DOMExceptions.
+- Added payload validation guards on incoming Socket.IO events within the background script's event handlers to secure against malformed server updates.
+- Prevented noisy browser console exceptions from context invalidation in target tabs by catching promise rejections on extension message dispatches.
+
+### Performance
+- Implemented in-memory language dictionary caching in the background script to completely avoid redundant extension package filesystem reads during translations.
+
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.8] — 2026-06-03
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed a bug where switching language inside the extension popup overwrote dynamic fields (such as active room ID, connection status, active server details, and video debug info) with default localized placeholder texts.
+- Fixed a version reporting mismatch where the copied logs (debug reports) and connection handshake parameters incorrectly reported the hardcoded `1.9.0` version instead of the actual installed manifest version.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.7] — 2026-06-03
+
+### Added
+- Added a `DEBUG_LOGGING` environment variable to the relay server (defaulting to `"0"` / disabled) to prevent console spam from verbose connection (`CONN`), room activity (`ROOM`, `DEDUPE`), and `CORS` events under load. Critical logs like `SERVER`, `SECURITY`, `AUTH`, and `ERROR` remain enabled at all times.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.6] — 2026-06-03
+
+### Performance & Security Hardening
+- Optimized failed authentication attempts cache eviction algorithm to $O(1)$ by exploiting Javascript `Map` insertion-order properties. This completely removes the previous array copying and sorting bottleneck, neutralizing a potential main-thread blocking DoS vector under heavy brute-force password traffic.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.5] — 2026-06-03
+
+### Security & Hardening
+- Hardened extension room idle auto-leave detection to correctly recognize when the target tab's video heartbeat goes stale (e.g., after tab navigation or media closure).
+- Exported cleaner graceful shutdown and lifecycle methods (`stopServerForTests`) from the relay server to prevent socket leaks and port-binding conflicts during verify checks.
+
+### Added
+- Added a validation step in `test-locales.js` to ensure the supported language list in `extension/i18n.js` is perfectly synchronized with the actual JSON translation files in the locales directory.
+- Added a robust route verification test suite (`scripts/test-server-routes.mjs`) covering rate limit throttling, caching headers, and admin metrics access control.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.4] — 2026-06-03
+
+### Security & Hardening
+- Hardened relay health endpoints against simple flood traffic: `GET /` and `GET /health` are now limited to 10 requests per minute per client IP.
+- Added lazy 60-second server-side caching for `GET /`, basic `/health`, and admin `/health` JSON responses to reduce repeated health-check work under noisy polling.
+- Added stricter brute-force throttling for invalid admin metrics bearer attempts.
+- Added startup warning for short `ADMIN_METRICS_TOKEN` values and documented that production Node ports must stay private behind Caddy or another trusted reverse proxy.
+- Lowered the default maximum peers per room to 25.
+
+### Added
+- Optional privacy-preserving admin metrics on `/health` when `ADMIN_METRICS_TOKEN` is configured and a valid bearer token is supplied. Metrics are aggregate-only and exclude room IDs, peer IDs, usernames, IP addresses, media titles, passwords, and other user-level data.
+
+### Changed
+- Removed `bcryptjs`; temporary room passwords continue to use keyed SHA-256/HMAC hashing as documented.
+- Public room discovery is now rate-limited server-side to one refresh every 10 seconds per socket, with the extension refresh button locked for 11 seconds.
+
+### Fixed
+- Improved Shadow DOM video detection so real embedded players are not hidden by smaller light-DOM preview or placeholder videos.
+- Fixed join-button timeout cleanup after join status responses.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.2] — 2026-06-02
+
+### Fixed
+- Peer identity spoofing in relay server: client-supplied `peerId` could be used to impersonate other peers in PEER_STATUS events. Server now always stamps `peerId` with the authenticated sender's identity.
+- Amazon domain detection: replaced broad `includes('amazon.')` substring check with boundary-safe regex that correctly matches all Amazon storefronts (`amazon.com`, `amazon.de`, `amazon.co.uk`, etc.) while rejecting lookalike domains.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.1] — 2026-06-01
+
+### Fixed
+- Video detection on Prime Video: `findVideo()` now scores all video elements by size, duration, and mute state instead of picking the first one. Fixes 0×0 placeholder being selected over the actual player.
+- History entries in debug report showing `?` instead of action names.
+- Prime Video status in compatibility matrix updated to reflect partial support.
+
+### Added
+- Multi-video overview table in Copy Debug Report when a page has more than one `<video>` element. Shows resolution, mute state, playback state, readyState, duration, and marks the currently targeted video.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.0.0] — 2026-06-01
+
+### 🌍 Multi-Language Extension (Biggest Feature!)
+- **6-Language UI**: The browser extension is now fully translated into **English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Russian**. Switch languages instantly in Settings without reload.
+- **Real-Time i18n**: Every label, button, tooltip, toast notification, empty state, and onboarding guide updates dynamically when the language changes.
+
+### New Features
+- **Copy Debug Report (Markdown)**: The *Copy Logs* button in the Status tab now copies a fully formatted Markdown debug report — system info, connection status, video diagnostics, action history, and logs. One click, paste into a GitHub issue, all debugging data ready.
+- **Platform Auto-Detection**: The Dev tab now identifies streaming platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, Vimeo, Dailymotion) and displays the detected platform.
+- **Enhanced Video Debug Info**: 20+ new fields in the Status tab including network state, buffered ranges, dimensions (with 0×0 warning), media error codes, shadow DOM status, seeking/ended/loop flags, volume, playback speed, and data attributes.
+- **No-Video Diagnostic Mode**: When no video is found, the Status tab shows platform, page title, video count, shadow DOM presence, and MediaSession data to help troubleshoot.
+
+### Changed
+- **New TwoPointZero Branding**: Updated extension icons (16/32/48/96/128px).
+- **Larger Popup Logo**: Extension popup icon increased to 48px.
+- **Prime Video Unblocked**: Removed `amazon.` from the tab blacklist so Amazon/Prime Video tabs appear in the video selector.
+- **Improved Debug Report**: Full User-Agent string for accurate browser identification, UTC timestamp, connection details including server URL and room info.
+- **Smart Disconnect**: Improved disconnect handling when leaving rooms.
+- **Human-Readable Room IDs**: Expanded word lists for friendlier room names.
+- **Custom Server Support**: WEB_JOIN_REQUEST and join button for custom server invite flows.
+- **Reconnection Strategy**: Custom server reconnection improvements.
+- **Episode-Aware Sync**: Command sequencing with smarter episode transition detection and echo suppression for smoother series binges.
+- **Sync Status Refinements**: YouTube and Twitch sync behavior improved.
+- **No External Dependencies**: Extension remains dependency-free with no library overhead.
+
+### Fixed
+- Hardcoded strings, missing translation keys, and Service Worker notification race conditions.
+
+---
+

+# Known Limitations & Accepted Non-Issues (NOFIX)
+
+This file records design decisions that are **intentional** and **out of scope** for
+KoalaSync's threat model. They are frequently re-discovered by reviewers, linters, and
+AI agents and re-reported as "bugs" or "vulnerabilities." They are not. Please read the
+threat model below before flagging any of them.
+
+> **For reviewers & agents:** Do **not** re-report the NOFIX items below. They are
+> deliberate. If you think the *threat model itself* should change (e.g. KoalaSync
+> starts handling accounts, payments, or sensitive data), raise **that** discussion
+> first — these items only stand because the threat model holds.
+
+---
+
+## Threat model
+
+KoalaSync is a **privacy-preserving watch-party sync tool**, not a security product.
+
+- **Rooms are ephemeral.** They exist for a few hours and are auto-reaped. There are no
+  accounts, no persistent storage, no money, and no sensitive content on the relay.
+- **The relay is a dumb, stateless message bus.** It forwards play/pause/seek between
+  peers who *chose* to watch together and joined via an invite link shared out-of-band.
+- **Participants are invited.** Anyone in a room was let in. The social contract is
+  "we're watching a video together," not "mutually distrusting parties."
+
+### What we DO defend against
+- **Accidental disruption** — the entire point of Host Control Mode.
+- **Spam / DoS** that degrades the relay for everyone — rate limits, 4 KB payload cap,
+  server-side gating, lazy-cached health responses.
+- **Resource exhaustion / memory leaks** — bounded maps, periodic cleanup, room/peer reaping.
+- **Crashes from malformed input** — strict sanitization and clamping of every field.
+- **Genuine boundary breaches** — admin-metrics auth (constant-time), CORS, WSS upgrade,
+  invite-hash isolation, strict CSP. Reports here are very welcome (see `SECURITY.md`).
+
+### What we explicitly DO NOT defend against
+A **determined participant who modifies their own client to misbehave inside a room they
+were invited to.** The worst they achieve is sending playback commands or seizing the
+"host" role in a temporary room they could already disrupt by other means. That is a
+**social** problem, solved socially: kick them, or start a new room. Engineering real
+identity/auth to prevent it would destroy the account-less, frictionless, privacy-first
+design — a bad trade for an ad-hoc movie night.
+
+---
+
+## NOFIX entries
+
+### NOFIX-1 — `peerId` is unauthenticated; a crafted client can impersonate or seize the host
+**Flag:** `peerId` is client-asserted and broadcast to every peer (in `ROOM_DATA` /
+`PEER_STATUS`). A modified client can join with the host's `peerId`, dedupe-kick the real
+host, and become host — controlling or locking `host-only` mode.
+
+**Why NOFIX:** Requires a *modified client* + an *invited* participant + a `peerId` that is
+only meaningful inside that one *temporary* room. The payoff is sending play/pause or
+locking a room the attacker is already in — pure trolling, instantly reversible (kick /
+new room). Cryptographic per-user identity is wildly disproportionate for an ad-hoc,
+account-less, ephemeral watch party. **Out of threat model.**
+Do **not** "fix" with accounts, signed peerIds, or per-user tokens — that breaks the
+core design.
+
+### NOFIX-2 — Room-password comparison is not constant-time
+**Flag:** room password hashes are compared with `!==` (`server/index.js`), so the compare
+is theoretically timing-attackable.
+
+**Why NOFIX:** The compared value is an **HMAC-SHA256 hash that never leaves the server** —
+an attacker cannot observe it to mount a timing attack. Even a hypothetical success only
+lets someone join a *temporary* room to send playback commands. Not worth defending.
+(The admin-metrics bearer token — a real boundary — **does** use `crypto.timingSafeEqual`.
+That is the line we actually guard.)
+
+### NOFIX-3 — `OFFICIAL_SERVER_TOKEN` is public in the repo
+**Flag:** the connection token in `shared/constants.js` is committed, so anyone can connect.
+
+**Why NOFIX:** It is a **coarse filter** to keep random scanners off the relay, **not
+authentication**. The relay is a public message bus by design; rate limits and per-room
+behavior are the real protections.
+
+### NOFIX-4 — Room IDs are enumerable via `GET_ROOMS`
+**Flag:** any connected client can list all room IDs (and whether each has a password).
+
+**Why NOFIX:** This is the intended **"Public Rooms"** feature. Rooms wanting privacy set a
+password; listing the IDs of password-less rooms only lets someone join a watch party —
+the same as being handed the invite link.
+
+### NOFIX-5 — A pause/seek can only be reverted, not prevented
+**Flag:** in `host-only` mode a guest's pause still fires locally before the extension can
+react, so there is a brief flicker before snap-back.
+
+**Why NOFIX:** A content script cannot intercept a `<video>` event before the element
+acts. Reacting (snap-back) is the only option and is by design; the ~½s flicker is
+acceptable. Not a bug.
+
+---
+
+## Not NOFIX — just deferred (may be revisited)
+
+These are *not* accepted-forever; they are scoped out of v1 and tracked separately
+(see the host-control-mode design docs in `docs/`):
+
+- **Host grace on a long disconnect (EC-10).** A brief reconnect/second-tab keeps the host
+  (handled), but a long real disconnect still falls back to `everyone`. A ~30s host-reserve
+  grace could be added later.
+- **Intent-classifier / snap-back tuning.** Thresholds are first-pass; real-device testing
+  may adjust them.

 **KoalaSync does not collect, store, or sell any personal data.**
 
+*We don't track you. We only track our server* (relying exclusively on aggregated, anonymous, and non-personal system metrics to monitor performance and stability).
+
 KoalaSync is designed with a **Security-First & Volatile** architecture. This means we prioritize keeping your data out of persistent storage, though certain technical data must be processed temporarily to ensure service stability and security.
 
 ## 1. Data Processing (In-Memory Only)
 KoalaSync does not use a database. All active session data exists only in the server's RAM and is purged immediately when no longer needed.
 - **Session Data**: To synchronize playback, the server must temporarily hold your `peerId`, `username`, and the `title` of the video you are watching.

-## Offene technische Fragen
+## Status Legend
 
-### 1. Service Worker Fallback bei Room-State Verlust
-Manifest V3 suspendiert den Service Worker nach ~30s Inaktivität. `chrome.alarms` weckt ihn auf, aber:
-- **Problem:** Wenn der SW neu startet, sind alle Variablen (`currentRoom`, `socket`, `isNamespaceJoined`) weg
-- **Aktueller Stand:** `chrome.storage.session` persistiert `currentRoom`, `peerId`, `eventQueue` — der SW stellt diese beim Start wieder her (`ensureState()`)
-- **Gelöst:** WebSocket wird automatisch via `connect()` neu aufgebaut. Events werden während Reconnect gequeued und nach Namespace-Join geflushed. "Reconnecting..." Status wird im Popup + Badge angezeigt. KeepAlive-Alarm auf 30s reduziert. Reconnect-Backoff: 500ms Basis, max 5s (statt vorher 1s→30s).
-
-### 7. Tests für Extensions
-Stimmt, sind aufwändig. Praktische Ansätze:
-- **Unit Tests:** `jest` + `jest-chrome` (mockt `chrome.*` APIs) — testet `popup.js` Logik, Server-Logik
-- **Integration Tests:** `puppeteer` mit `--load-extension` Flag — testet Extension im echten Browser
-- **Server Tests:** `supertest` + `socket.io-client` — testet WebSocket-Flows
-- **Aufwand:** ~400-600 LOC für sinnvolle Testabdeckung der Kernlogik

+
+## 📋 Planned
+
+*Prioritized for upcoming phases.*
+
+### 1. Split large JavaScript files into smaller modules
+
+- **Priority:** P1
+- **Category:** Maintainability / AI Context Optimization
+- **Background:** Core files like `background.js` and `popup.js` have grown large and exceed 800 lines. This makes manual debugging harder and wastes context window space for AI models.
+- **Planned solution:**
+  - Structurally split logic into separate focused modules (e.g., UI Renderer, Message Router, Storage Manager, Socket Client).
+  - Use ES modules for clean separation and better reusability.
+
+### 2. Invite link with target URL for auto-redirect
+
+- **Priority:** P2
+- **Category:** UX / Ease of Sharing
+- **Background:** The invite link currently only contains the room ID. The invited person has to manually open the page. Ideally, the link would include the shared tab's URL so the invitee gets redirected to the right page and the tab is auto-selected (auto-matching via tab title already exists).
+- **Known challenges:**
+  - Many streaming sites (e.g., Emby, Jellyfin) don't have unique URLs per content — once inside the player, the URL stays the same.
+  - Dozens of such edge cases exist; a generic solution is difficult.
+  - Would likely need site-specific extractor logic (similar to the existing sync service adapters).
+- **Possible approaches:**
+  - Fallback: if no unique URL can be determined, only pass the tab title.
+  - Site-specific URL extraction for known services.

+
+## 💡 Backlog
+
+*Ideas and feature requests under evaluation.*
+
+### In-room chat overlay (like TeleParty)
+
+- **Priority:** P3
+- **Category:** Social / Communication
+- **Background:** A collapsible chat panel to the right of the video (or as an overlay) allowing text-based communication with everyone in the room.
+- **Why backlog (still uncertain):**
+  - **Use case:** No strong personal need — with chat, latency matters less than with voice; async communication tolerates a few seconds of delay.
+  - **Complexity:** Relatively large feature (UI + message persistence + possibly history).
+  - **Legal/moderation:** Unclear what moderation requirements would apply if users can exchange chat messages. Could be relevant depending on jurisdiction.
+- **Status:** Under evaluation, may come later.

+
+## Technical Background
+
+KoalaSync works on any website with a **standard HTML5 `<video>` element** that allows script injection. 
+
+Limited functionality on certain platforms is typically caused by:
+- **DRM/Copy Protection** (e.g., Widevine on Netflix) which restricts access to media metadata like title and playback state
+- **Shadow DOM encapsulation** that hides video elements from content scripts
+- **Strict Content Security Policies** (CSP) that block script injection
+
+Websites with heavily obfuscated custom players (e.g., complex Shadow DOM, iframe isolation) may require platform-specific workarounds in `content.js`.

+
+## How to Translate KoalaSync
+
+Here is the exact step-by-step process for contributing translations.
+
+### Step 1: Fork and Clone the Repository
+
+If you are an external contributor, start with the standard open-source workflow:
+
+1. Click the "Fork" button on GitHub to create your own copy of the repository.
+2. Clone your fork locally: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/KoalaSync.git`
+3. Create a branch: `git checkout -b translation/my-language`
+
+### Step 2: Translate the Extension
+
+The browser extension handles real-time syncing, settings, and popups.
+
+1. Navigate to `extension/locales/`.
+2. Edit an existing `[lang].json` or copy `en.json` to create a new one (for example, `it.json`).
+3. Translate all string values. **Do not change the JSON keys.**
+
+### Step 3: Translate the Website
+
+The website hosts the landing page and invitation bridge.
+
+1. Navigate to `website/locales/`.
+2. Edit an existing `[lang].json` or copy `en.json` to create a new one.
+3. Translate all string values. **Do not change the JSON keys.**
+4. If creating a brand new language, configure the metadata at the top of your JSON file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "LANG_CODE": "it",
+  "HTML_CLASS": "lang-it",
+  "CANONICAL_PATH": "it/",
+  "LANG_TOGGLE_URL": "../",
+  "LANG_TOGGLE_TEXT": "EN"
+}
+```
+
+5. If creating a brand new language, register it in `website/build.cjs` by adding it to the `languages` array.
+
+### Step 4: Verify Locally
+
+Ensure your JSON files are valid and all keys match the English baseline. Open your terminal in the KoalaSync root folder and run:
+
+```bash
+# Tests the extension locales for missing keys or syntax errors
+node scripts/test-locales.cjs
+
+# Tests the website locales for missing keys or syntax errors
+node scripts/test-website-locales.mjs
+
+# Builds the website with your new translations
+node website/build.cjs
+```
+
+If you receive any errors about missing keys or placeholder strings, fix them before submitting.
+
+### Step 5: Commit and Pull Request
+
+1. Open this `TRANSLATION.md` file and add or update your language in the **Supported Languages Dashboard** above. Mark it as `100% Manually Verified` only if it has been reviewed by a native speaker.
+2. Commit your changes: `git commit -m "Update Italian translations"`
+3. Push to your fork: `git push origin translation/my-language`
+4. Open a pull request on the main KoalaSync repository on GitHub.
+
+---
+
+## Strict Legal Exclusion Rule
+
+Our legal pages have strict constraints to protect user privacy and avoid regulatory liabilities.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Do Not Translate Legal Documents**
+> The legal notice (`website/impressum.html`) and privacy policy (`website/datenschutz.html`) **MUST remain exclusively in English and German**.
+>
+> **Rationale:** Legal compliance under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Digital Services Act (DDG). Offering automated translations of legally binding notices introduces compliance risks due to potential mistranslations of liability limits.
+>
+> **Technical fallback:** Our system automatically falls back to English for legal pages if a user visits them in an unsupported language, so you do not need to translate them.

+# Co-Host (Multi-Controller) — Implementation Plan
+
+Branch base: `feature/host-control-mode` (builds directly on it).
+Goal: let the room owner grant **playback control to several peers** (co-hosts), not
+just one — e.g. 4 of N people in a room may drive play/pause/seek, the rest are guests.
+
+This is the second server-gated feature the `capabilities` hook was designed for
+(`CAPABILITIES.CO_HOST = 'co-host'`, already stubbed in `shared/constants.js`).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Roles
+
+| Role | Can drive (play/pause/seek/force-sync/episode-lobby) | Can promote/demote + toggle mode |
+|------|------|------|
+| **Owner** (room creator, = today's "host") | yes (always a controller) | **yes** |
+| **Controller** (co-host) | yes (in `host-only` mode) | no |
+| **Guest** | only in `everyone` mode | no |
+
+The single-host feature is just the special case `controllers = { owner }`.
+
+## 2. Data model
+
+### Server (`room` object)
+- `ownerPeerId` — the creator / manager. Keep `hostPeerId` as an **alias** (= ownerPeerId)
+  so older clients keep working.
+- `controllers: Set<peerId>` — peers allowed to drive. **Always contains ownerPeerId.**
+- `controlMode: 'everyone' | 'host-only'` — unchanged wire values (`'host-only'` now means
+  "restricted to controllers", not "single host").
+- `MAX_CONTROLLERS` cap (e.g. 10) to bound the set + payload.
+
+### Shared constants
+- `CAPABILITIES.CO_HOST = 'co-host'` (un-stub it) → add to `SERVER_CAPABILITIES`.
+- New events:
+  - `SET_PEER_ROLE` (client→server): `{ peerId, controller: boolean }` — owner promotes/demotes.
+  - Extend `CONTROL_MODE` (server→client) payload: `{ controlMode, ownerPeerId, hostPeerId, controllers: [peerId...] }`.
+- `ROOM_DATA` gains `ownerPeerId` + `controllers`.
+
+## 3. Gate generalization (the core change)
+
+Today the gate compares against a single `hostPeerId`. Generalize to set membership:
+
+- **Server relay gate** (`server/index.js`): `controlMode === 'host-only' && !room.controllers.has(mapping.peerId)` → drop. (Was `mapping.peerId !== room.hostPeerId`.)
+- **Background gates** (sender + receiver): replace `amHost()` / `senderId !== hostPeerId`
+  with controller-set membership: `controllers.includes(myPeerId)` / `senderId ∈ controllers`.
+- **Helpers:** split `amHost()` into `amOwner()` (manage rights) and `amController()`
+  (drive rights). The desync/snap-back path keys on `!amController()` instead of `!amHost()`.
+
+`SET_PEER_ROLE` handler (server): validate sender is owner, target is a current peer in the
+room, enforce `MAX_CONTROLLERS`, always keep owner in the set, then broadcast `CONTROL_MODE`
+with the new `controllers`.
+
+## 4. Client + UI
+
+- **Owner** sees the peer list with a per-peer **"Controller" toggle** (promote/demote) plus
+  the existing mode toggle.
+- **Controllers** see a "Controller" badge and are NOT locked out of the remote-control buttons.
+- **Guests** see "Guest" + the host-only notice (unchanged).
+- The promote UI + co-host badges render only when the relay advertises the `co-host`
+  capability (feature detection, same pattern as `hostControlSupported`).
+- i18n: new keys (`ROLE_CONTROLLER`, `BTN_PROMOTE`, `BTN_DEMOTE`, …) across all locales.
+
+## 5. Backwards compatibility
+
+- **New client + old server** (host-control only, no `co-host` capability): no co-host UI;
+  behaves as today's single-host. ✓
+- **Old client + new server**: ignores `controllers` / `SET_PEER_ROLE`. An old client that
+  the owner promotes still **gates itself** (its sender-gate only knows `!amHost`), so it
+  can't drive — it degrades to a guest. Co-host requires a client that understands
+  `controllers`. Document this; not a crash. ✓
+- No `PROTOCOL_VERSION` bump needed — purely additive, same as host-control.
+
+## 6. Edge cases
+- **Controller leaves** → `removePeerFromRoom` also does `room.controllers.delete(peerId)`.
+- **Owner leaves** → fallback: promote the earliest remaining **controller** to owner (prefer
+  a controller over a random peer); if none, earliest peer; keep the rest of the set. Reuse
+  the `peerJoinLocks` guard so a reconnect/second-tab doesn't demote (same fix as host).
+- **Promote a peer not in the room** → server rejects (target must be a live peer).
+- **Promote beyond `MAX_CONTROLLERS`** → server rejects, re-syncs the owner's UI.
+- **`everyone` mode** → the `controllers` set is still maintained (so flipping to `host-only`
+  keeps the chosen co-hosts), it just isn't enforced while in `everyone`.
+- **peerId spoofing** → unchanged accepted limitation (see `docs/KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md`);
+  co-host doesn't widen it materially (still bounded to a temporary room).
+
+## 7. Scale: the "4 of 510 people" part — read this
+
+The role change above is moderate. **Putting 510 people in one room is a separate, larger
+problem** and should be its own track:
+
+- `MAX_PEERS_PER_ROOM` is **25** today. 510 needs a large raise + load testing.
+- **The real bottleneck at scale is heartbeat fan-out, not control events.** Every peer
+  heartbeats and the relay broadcasts each to all peers → O(N²) per interval. At 510 that's
+  ~510×509 / 15s ≈ **17k msg/s just for heartbeats** — the scaling wall.
+- **Co-host actually *helps* the control-event side:** in `host-only` mode only the few
+  controllers emit play/pause/seek, so event *sources* drop from N to K (e.g. 4). Restricting
+  who can drive is synergistic with big rooms.
+- Large rooms therefore need (independent of co-host):
+  - **Heartbeat fan-out reduction** — e.g. only relay controller/owner heartbeats to everyone,
+    relay guest heartbeats only to the owner/controllers (for the UI), or server-side
+    aggregation into periodic snapshots instead of per-peer relay.
+  - **`ROOM_DATA` payload trimming** — a 510-entry peer list is large; send counts + controller
+    details, lazy-load the full roster.
+  - Possibly the **socket.io Redis adapter** for horizontal scaling, and broadcast tuning.
+
+## 8. Effort estimate
+- **Co-host roles** (server gate generalization + `SET_PEER_ROLE` + owner-leave fallback +
+  client gates + promote UI + i18n), at the current ≤25-peer scale: **~3–4 dev days** (same
+  shape as host-control itself — mostly generalizing host→controller-set).
+- **Large-room scaling (510)**: a **separate ~1–2 week** track (heartbeat redesign + payload
+  trimming + cap raise + load testing), independent of co-host. Recommend shipping co-host at
+  the current cap first, then scaling rooms as its own project.
+
+## 9. Suggested sequencing
+1. `CAPABILITIES.CO_HOST` + `controllers`/`ownerPeerId` in room state + `ROOM_DATA` (additive).
+2. Server `SET_PEER_ROLE` + gate generalization + owner-leave fallback + WS tests.
+3. Background: controller-set membership in both gates + `amOwner`/`amController`.
+4. Popup: promote/demote toggles (owner) + Controller badge + i18n.
+5. (Separate track) large-room scaling.

+
+---
+
+## 0. Implementation status
+
+All five layers are implemented & pushed (server + background + content + popup + i18n).
+Automated checks green: ESLint, WS integration tests (incl. host-only gate, toggle
+reject, host-leave fallback), content video-finder, locale consistency (15 langs),
+full release verification.
+
+**Still needs real-device testing** — the EC test matrix in §7 (YouTube/Netflix/
+Twitch/Disney+/Jellyfin): involuntary-pause classification (EC-1/EC-5/EC-8), snap-back
+reliability and fight-loops (EC-4), and the desync/resync flow across players. The
+intent classifier (EC-9) and snap-back cooldown are first-pass heuristics tuned by
+reading the code, not yet by watching them behave on each site.
+
+Deferred by decision (see §8): host grace period on disconnect (EC-10).
+
+### Capability detection (forward-compat hook)
+The relay advertises `capabilities: ['host-control']` in `ROOM_DATA`
+(`SERVER_CAPABILITIES` in server, `CAPABILITIES` in shared/constants). The client
+enables host-control UI/behavior only when the flag is present, so the feature
+degrades cleanly on an older relay (absent → off) and old clients ignore the
+field. This is the extensible hook for the planned **co-host** feature (owner
+promotes guests to additional controllers): it will add a `'co-host'` capability
++ events without a protocol bump or breaking older relays/clients. Add new flags
+to `CAPABILITIES` / `SERVER_CAPABILITIES` as features land.
+
+### Pre-test self-audit (fixed)
+- **Popup remote buttons froze for guests** — in host-only a guest's Play/Pause/SYNC
+  click was gated server-side but the button stuck on "Playing"/disabled with no
+  feedback. Now the remote controls are locked (disabled + tooltip) for guests, with
+  backstop guards in the handlers. (popup.js)
+- **Desync dialog could break under strict CSP** — it used `innerHTML` with inline
+  `style=""` attributes, which Netflix/YouTube/Disney+ strip via `style-src`. Rebuilt
+  with the DOM API (CSSOM `.style` is CSP-safe) inside a **Shadow DOM** so page CSS
+  can't restyle/hide it. (content.js)
+- **Live-DVR not detected (EC-15)** — `duration === Infinity` misses Twitch/YouTube
+  live-DVR (finite, sliding duration). Added a `seekable.start(0) > 1` sliding-window
+  heuristic in `hcmIsLive()`. (content.js)
+
+### Pre-test self-audit
+- ~~**EC-4/EC-1 snap-back thrash:**~~ FIXED — implemented the **buffer-aware deferred
+  snap-back** (`hcmDeferredSnapBack`): on an involuntary event, if the player isn't
+  ready (`readyState<3` or seeking) we wait (poll, 8s cap) until it can play, then snap
+  ONCE to the host's re-queried position instead of repeatedly fighting the buffer.
+  Done defensively/player-agnostically — we can't enumerate every site, so this is safe
+  whether a player fires `pause()` or only `waiting`. Aborts if the user goes solo or is
+  no longer a gated guest; single pending poll (no stacking).
+- ~~**Control-mode race at join:**~~ FIXED — `hcmHandleBlocked` now treats `HOST_BLOCKED`
+  as authoritative (adopts host-only/guest role) instead of re-checking local mode,
+  since background only sends it to gated guests.
+- ~~**Dialog/badge text is English-only**~~ FIXED — background resolves the strings
+  via GET_HCM_STRINGS (it has the i18n loader); content fetches them on init with
+  English fallback. 6 new keys (HCM_DIALOG_*/HCM_BADGE_*) across all 15 locales.

+
+## 1. What this branch is for
+
+Origin: a GitHub feature request. When watching with larger groups, anyone can pause
+or seek and disrupt everyone else. The requester wants the room creator to optionally
+restrict control to a single **host**, the way Teleparty works — guests who try to
+pause get asked whether they want to pause *only their own* player (and desync), and
+otherwise get snapped back to the room's position.
+
+**Goal:** Add an optional per-room **Host Control Mode**. A room can be switched
+between:
+- **`everyone`** (default, current behavior): anyone can play/pause/seek for the room.
+- **`host-only`**: only the host drives the room. A guest's deliberate play/pause/seek
+  is not broadcast; instead they're snapped back to the room position — unless they
+  explicitly choose to desync (go solo) with a "Resync" escape hatch.
+
+## 2. Trust model (read this before over-engineering)
+
+This is **client-side trust, by design**. It's a watch party, not a security boundary.
+The point is preventing *accidental* and *casual* disruption, not stopping someone
+determined to patch their own extension. We do **not** add auth, tokens, or
+cryptographic host identity. `peerId` is unauthenticated and that's fine here.
+
+(We still gate server-side as the robust chokepoint — see plan — but that's about
+killing spam reliably, not about defeating a hostile client.)
+
+## 3. Scope / non-goals
+
+In scope:
+- Host designation (first joiner = host), mode toggle, host-only gating of all
+  room-moving events, guest snap-back, deliberate-desync flow + resync, host UI.
+
+Explicit non-goals (for this branch):
+- Authenticated / spoof-proof host identity.
+- Persistent host across server restarts (room state is in-memory).
+- Syncing around personalized ad breaks.
+- Host transfer UI (auto-fallback to `everyone` when host leaves; manual transfer
+  is a possible later add).
+
+## 4. Architecture summary
+
+Three-layer gate for room-moving events from a non-host in host-only mode
+(`PLAY`, `PAUSE`, `SEEK`, `FORCE_SYNC_PREPARE`, `FORCE_SYNC_EXECUTE`, `EPISODE_LOBBY`):
+1. **Server** — doesn't relay them (robust chokepoint, kills spam regardless of client).
+2. **Sender (guest)** — doesn't emit; shows confirm dialog / disables host-only buttons.
+3. **Receiver** — drops any that slip through (covers old/buggy/modified clients).
+
+Snap-back reuses the existing `_setSuppress` mechanism (content.js:442) so applying
+the room state programmatically doesn't echo back as a new event. Target position is
+extrapolated from the host's last known state (±1s). Full detail + code hooks in the
+plan doc.
+
+---
+
+## 5. The central challenge
+
+Everything hard about this feature reduces to **one question** (see EC-9):
+
+> How do we reliably tell a **deliberate** guest pause/seek from an **involuntary**
+> player/browser event (buffering, ads, tab throttling, source swaps, DRM hiccups)?
+
+If we get this wrong, guests get spammed with desync dialogs and snap-back loops for
+things they never did. The host/role plumbing is the easy part; this classifier is the
+real work. **Design the intent-classifier before writing the gate.**
+
+---
+
+## 6. Edge cases
+
+### EC-1 🔴 Buffering / loading fires a `pause` event
+content.js listens to `play`/`pause`/`seeked`/`loadeddata` only (content.js:1000-1003),
+not `waiting`/`stalled`. Pure HTML5 buffering fires `waiting` → harmless. But custom
+players (Netflix/YouTube/Twitch/JW) often call `video.pause()` during buffering/ads →
+real `pause` → guest gate would mis-classify as deliberate. Sub-cases: (a) initial load
+sits paused, no event, fine; (b) mid-stream stall, player-dependent; (c) seek-induced
+re-buffering may outlast the suppress window and leak. Mitigation: `isBuffering` flag
+from `waiting`/`playing`, or grace window; in host-only the guest's own state is
+irrelevant so just ignore involuntary pauses and let catch-up logic (content.js:489)
+re-sync them.
+
+### EC-2 🟢 Force-Sync / Episode-Lobby abuse by guests
+Guest could seek + spam Force-Sync to drag everyone, or spam Episode-Lobby to pause
+everyone. Decision: host-only blocks guest *initiation* of `FORCE_SYNC_*` and
+`EPISODE_LOBBY`; guests may only respond (`FORCE_SYNC_ACK`, `EPISODE_READY`). Guests'
+legitimate path is the personal "Resync" button.
+
+### EC-3 🟢 Host leaves the room
+Fall back to `controlMode = 'everyone'`, broadcast `CONTROL_MODE`. Never a stuck locked
+room. (Auto-promote next peer deferred.)
+
+### EC-4 🔴 Snap-back fight loop (pause/play/skip back/pause/play)
+Mashing controls or a janky player → each snap-back may emit events → ping-pong.
+Mitigation: cooldown (~600ms) after snap-back; ensure snap-back runs fully under
+suppress. Also: if target is unreachable (seek past buffered range), retry K times then
+give up — no infinite loop.
+
+### EC-5 🔴 Ad breaks (YouTube/Twitch/…)
+Mid-roll ads pause/swap the media element, differ per peer → desync is unavoidable and
+must NOT spam the dialog. Probably covered by EC-1 buffering grace; flag for explicit
+testing.
+
+### EC-6 🟡 Snap-back target accuracy
+No continuous room clock; extrapolate from host's `currentTime` + `lastHeartbeat`
+(±1s, worse if stale). The follow-up host correction must also be suppressed so it
+doesn't read as guest input.
+
+### EC-7 🟢 Old / buggy / modified guest client
+Covered by receiver-side + server-side gates.
+
+### EC-8 🔴 Tab throttling / background tab
+Backgrounding throttles timers and may pause media. There's existing
+`visibilityGraceUntil` handling for seeks (content.js:892). Confirm a
+background-induced pause isn't treated as deliberate in host-only; reuse the grace flag.
+
+### EC-9 🔴 What counts as "deliberate" — the central unresolved question
+Collapses EC-1/EC-5/EC-8. Candidate signals: `readyState`/`networkState`/`video.seeking`
+at event time; recent `waiting`; recent user gesture (`navigator.userActivation`,
+keydown/click); visibility/focus. Build one shared **intent-classifier** helper in
+content.js that all host-only gating flows through.
+
+### EC-10 🔴 Host brief disconnect / reconnect (network blip)
+Host's wifi drops for 3s and reconnects. With "host leaves → fallback to everyone",
+a blip would silently unlock the room and demote the host (peerId persists in
+chrome.storage so they rejoin with the same id, but the server already cleared
+`hostPeerId`). Mitigation idea: short **host grace period** (e.g. keep `hostPeerId`
+reserved for ~30s after disconnect; if the same peerId rejoins, restore host + mode).
+Needs the server reaper (server:644) and `removePeerFromRoom` (server:168) to cooperate.
+
+### EC-11 🔴 New guest joins mid-session in host-only mode
+On join they must (a) immediately sync to the host's current position without the host
+doing anything, and (b) see they're a guest in the UI. ROOM_DATA already carries peers;
+add `hostPeerId`/`controlMode` so a fresh client knows its role instantly. Verify the
+existing "newcomer syncs without waiting" path (content.js:542) still fires.
+
+### EC-12 🔴 Desync semantics — what does "solo" actually mean?
+When a guest chooses "pause only me", do they (a) fully ignore all subsequent host
+events until they Resync, or (b) keep receiving but not auto-applying? Define clearly.
+Proposed: full solo — ignore host play/pause/seek while desynced; Resync re-attaches and
+snaps to current host position. Also: what state does Resync land them in if the host is
+currently paused vs playing?
+
+### EC-13 🔴 Race: host flips to host-only exactly as a guest pauses
+Event ordering between `SET_CONTROL_MODE`/`CONTROL_MODE` and an in-flight guest `PAUSE`.
+The `seq` ordering helps, but define the tie-break. Likely: server is authoritative —
+once it has `host-only`, it drops the guest event regardless of client-side timing.
+
+### EC-14 🟡 Volume / mute / audio-options must NOT be gated
+Those are per-peer, not room control. The gate must target only play/pause/seek +
+forcesync/episode — not `PEER_STATUS` volume/mute fields. Easy to over-block; add a test.
+
+### EC-15 🔴 Live streams (Twitch live, live DVR)
+"Room timestamp" is fuzzy on live edge; seeking semantics differ. Decide whether
+host-only even makes sense for live, or degrade gracefully. Low priority but log it.
+
+### EC-16 🟡 Host's own involuntary events still drive the room
+If the host buffers and the player auto-pauses, that pause is "allowed" and pauses
+everyone. That's existing behavior, but in host-only it means the host's buffering
+stalls the whole room. Acceptable? Probably yes (host is authoritative), but note it.
+
+### EC-17 🟡 Server restart drops room state
+`hostPeerId`/`controlMode` are in-memory. After a server restart, whoever rejoins first
+becomes the new host and mode resets to `everyone`. Acceptable for now (non-goal), but
+document so it's not a surprise.
+
+### EC-18 🟡 Dialog dismissed without choosing
+Guest clicks away / presses Esc on the desync prompt. Default = treat as "No" → snap
+back. Make sure an un-answered dialog can't leave them in limbo (paused + not desynced +
+no dialog).
+
+### EC-19 🟡 Multiple video elements / element swap (SPA, ad → content)
+Players that swap the `<video>` element mid-session: re-attach handlers (content.js
+already re-binds on `loadeddata`) and make sure host-only gating follows the new element.
+
+### EC-20 🟡 Peer list shape (object vs legacy string)
+Throughout background.js peers may be objects or bare peerId strings
+(`typeof p === 'object' ? p.peerId : p`). All new `hostPeerId` comparisons must handle
+both forms, or we get a host that's never recognized.
+
+### EC-21 🟡 Mode toggle spam / rate limiting
+Host hammering the toggle → many `SET_CONTROL_MODE`. Covered by existing
+`checkEventRate` (server), but debounce in the UI and ignore no-op transitions.
+

+
+## 8. Decisions (audited)
+- [x] **Intent-classifier (EC-9):** A `pause`/`seek` is **involuntary** if ANY of:
+  `readyState < 3`, `video.seeking`, a `waiting` fired < ~1500ms ago (`isBuffering`
+  flag), inside `visibilityGraceUntil`, OR no own-tracked user gesture
+  (`Date.now() - lastUserGestureAt < 1000`, via capturing keydown/pointerdown — do
+  NOT use sticky `navigator.userActivation.hasBeenActive`). Bias: only *clearly*
+  involuntary is ignored; everything else = deliberate. **Note:** in host-only the
+  guest never broadcasts anyway, so this only decides dialog-vs-silent — a UX call,
+  not a room-integrity call. Start simple, tune later.
+- [x] **Host grace on disconnect (EC-10): NOT in v1.** Immediate fallback to
+  `everyone` (EC-3). A grace window risks a multi-second hard-lock if the host never
+  returns. Revisit as polish once the core flow works.
+- [x] **Desync semantics (EC-12): full solo.** Ignore host play/pause/seek while
+  desynced; Resync snaps to host position + adopts host play/pause state. Desync
+  auto-clears on new media/episode. Requires a persistent, obvious "You are desynced"
+  UI.
+- [x] **Snap-back cooldown (EC-4): until-settled, not fixed.** Suppress re-trigger
+  until `readyState>=3 && playing && |Δt|<tol`, hard-cap ~1500ms. Retry target up to
+  3×, then give up (no infinite loop).
+- [x] **Live streams (EC-15): degrade.** Disable the gate when
+  `video.duration === Infinity`. Caveat: live-DVR may report finite duration and slip
+  through — acceptable for v1.

+# Host Control Mode — Beta Testing Guide
+
+> Temporary doc for branch `feature/host-control-mode`. Remove before merge.
+> The feature needs the **server** half too — the official relay
+> (`wss://syncserver.koalastuff.net`) doesn't run it yet, so test against a beta
+> server first.
+
+## 1. Run the beta relay (Docker)
+
+The branch publishes the server image to GHCR under non-production tags
+(`:beta` = newest branch build, `:sha-<commit>` = immutable pin). `:latest` is
+never touched.
+
+```bash
+# Log in (the package is private → PAT with read:packages)
+echo "$GHCR_PAT" | docker login ghcr.io -u <your-gh-user> --password-stdin
+
+# Pull + (re)create — NOTE: `docker restart` does NOT pick up a new image,
+# you must remove and re-run (or use compose / Watchtower).
+docker pull ghcr.io/shik3i/koalasync:beta
+docker rm -f koala-beta 2>/dev/null || true
+docker run -d --name koala-beta -p 3000:3000 \
+  -e SERVER_SALT='choose-your-own-salt' \
+  ghcr.io/shik3i/koalasync:beta
+```
+
+To always run the newest beta automatically, point **Watchtower** at the
+container — it does the pull → recreate whenever `:beta` moves.
+
+The `OFFICIAL_SERVER_TOKEN` is baked into `shared/constants.js`, so no token env
+is needed. Set `SERVER_SALT` (used for room-password hashing).
+
+## 2. Connect the extension to it
+
+⚠️ The client **force-upgrades `ws://` to `wss://` for any non-localhost host**
+(see background.js "Upgraded to wss:// for remote host"). So a bare
+`ws://your-server:3000` will fail without TLS. Two options:
+
+- **Quick (no TLS):** SSH-tunnel the port so it counts as local:
+  ```bash
+  ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 your-beta-server
+  ```
+  then in the popup → **Manual Connect / Advanced → Custom →** `ws://localhost:3000`.
+- **Proper:** put the container behind a TLS reverse proxy (Caddy does automatic
+  HTTPS) → `wss://beta.yourdomain`.
+
+Then create/join a room.
+
+## 3. ⚠️ Use two *new* clients
+
+Test with **two browser profiles both running this branch build** (load unpacked
+from `extension/`, or install the built zip). A stock release client as a guest
+will be correctly gated by the server but has none of the content-side code, so
+it silently desyncs with no dialog/snap-back — that's expected degradation, not a
+bug, but it looks like one during testing.
+
+## 4. Verification checklist
+
+| # | Step | Expect |
+|---|------|--------|
+| 1 | Create a room (host) | Host Control card shows **Host** + the toggle |
+| 2 | Second profile joins | Guest sees no card while mode is "everyone" |
+| 3 | Host enables "Only I can control" | Guest's Play/Pause/SYNC buttons lock; card shows **Guest** |
+| 4 | Guest presses pause/space on the video | Brief flicker, snaps back to host position |
+| 5 | Guest pauses again | Dialog: "Stay in sync" / "Watch on my own" |
+| 6 | Guest → "Watch on my own" | Persistent "Solo" badge; host's peer list shows **Solo** |
+| 7 | Guest → "Resync" | Snaps back to host; Solo badge clears on both sides |
+| 8 | Guest tries Force-Sync / seek spam | Nothing propagates to the room |
+| 9 | Host disables host-only | Card hides for guest; controls unlock |
+| 10 | Host leaves the room | Room falls back to "everyone"; a remaining peer becomes host |
+| 11 | Reload the guest's page while desynced | Still shows Solo (state survives reload) |
+| 12 | Switch the popup language | Dialog/badge text is localized |
+
+## 5. Capability detection
+
+The relay advertises `capabilities: ['host-control']` in `ROOM_DATA`. The client
+only enables the feature when that flag is present, so:
+- against this beta server → feature on;
+- against the old official server → feature cleanly hidden (no errors).
+
+This is the extensible hook for the planned **co-host** feature (owner promotes
+guests to additional controllers) — it'll add a `'co-host'` capability + events
+without breaking older relays/clients.

+# Host Control Mode — Implementierungsplan
+
+Branch: `feature/host-control-mode`
+Issue: GitHub feature request (wasserrutschentester) — nur Host darf den Raum steuern; Gäste werden zurückgesnappt oder gehen bewusst in Desync.
+
+## Ziel
+
+Ein Raum kann zwischen zwei Modi umgeschaltet werden:
+- **`everyone`** (Default, heutiges Verhalten): jeder kann play/pause/seek für alle auslösen.
+- **`host-only`**: nur der Host steuert den Raum. Pause/Seek eines Gasts wird **nicht** gebroadcastet; stattdessen snappt die eigene Extension den Gast zurück auf den Raum-Zustand — es sei denn, der Gast entscheidet sich bewusst für Desync.
+
+Trust-Modell: client-seitig durchgesetzt. Kein Token, keine Auth. Es geht um versehentliches Stören, nicht um Angriffsschutz.
+
+---
+
+## Datenmodell
+
+### Server (`server/index.js`, Room-Objekt ~Z.331)
+Room bekommt zwei neue Felder:
+```js
+room = {
+  ...,
+  hostPeerId: peerId,        // gesetzt beim Anlegen = erster Joiner
+  controlMode: 'everyone',   // 'everyone' | 'host-only'
+}
+```
+- In `ROOM_DATA` (~Z.418) mitschicken: `hostPeerId`, `controlMode`.
+- Neues Event `SET_CONTROL_MODE` (siehe unten): nur akzeptieren, wenn `senderPeerId === room.hostPeerId`. Server setzt `room.controlMode`, broadcastet die Änderung an alle.
+- **Host-Migration:** in `removePeerFromRoom` (~Z.168) — wenn der gehende Peer `hostPeerId` war: entweder neuen Host bestimmen (nächster Peer) **oder** `controlMode` auf `everyone` zurückfallen lassen. → Entscheidung: **Fallback auf `everyone`** (simpel, nie verwaister gesperrter Raum). Optional später: Host-Transfer-Button.
+
+### Shared Constants (`shared/constants.js`)
+Neue Events im `EVENTS`-Objekt:
+```js
+SET_CONTROL_MODE: "set_control_mode",   // Client->Server: Host ändert Modus
+CONTROL_MODE: "control_mode",            // Server->Client: Modus geändert { controlMode, hostPeerId }
+```
+⚠️ Danach `node scripts/build-extension.cjs` laufen lassen (Single Source of Truth propagieren). Ggf. `PROTOCOL_VERSION` bumpen — **nein, nur wenn alte Clients brechen würden**. Da alles additiv ist und alte Clients die neuen Felder/Events einfach ignorieren, ist KEIN Protokoll-Bump nötig. (Alter Client in host-only-Raum kennt den Modus nicht und sendet weiter → Host-Extensions ignorieren fremde Events nicht... → siehe Edge Case 7. Evtl. doch Bump erwägen.)
+
+### Extension State (`background.js`)
+```js
+let controlMode = 'everyone';
+let hostPeerId = null;
+// abgeleitet: const amHost = () => hostPeerId === peerId;
+```
+Aus `ROOM_DATA` / `CONTROL_MODE` befüllen, in `chrome.storage.session` persistieren (wie `currentRoom`).
+
+---
+
+## Implementierung nach Schichten
+
+### 1. Server (`server/index.js`)
+- [ ] Room-Objekt um `hostPeerId` + `controlMode` erweitern (~Z.331).
+- [ ] `ROOM_DATA`-Payload erweitern (~Z.418).
+- [ ] Handler `SET_CONTROL_MODE`: validieren (Host-Check + Wert in {everyone, host-only}), setzen, `CONTROL_MODE` an Raum broadcasten.
+- [ ] Host-Migration in `removePeerFromRoom`: Fallback auf `everyone` + neues `CONTROL_MODE` broadcasten, wenn Host geht.
+- [ ] `SET_CONTROL_MODE` in die `relayEvents`-Liste? **Nein** — eigener Handler, da Sonderlogik + Host-Check. (relayEvents broadcastet blind.)
+
+### 2. Shared / Build
+- [ ] `EVENTS.SET_CONTROL_MODE`, `EVENTS.CONTROL_MODE` ergänzen.
+- [ ] `node scripts/build-extension.cjs`.
+
+### 3. background.js (Gast-Logik = Kern)
+- [ ] `controlMode` / `hostPeerId` aus `ROOM_DATA` (~Z.875) und neuem `CONTROL_MODE`-Case übernehmen + persistieren + an Popup/Content pushen.
+- [ ] **Emit-Gate** im SEND-Pfad (~Z.1786): bei `host-only && !amHost()` und action ∈ {play, pause, seek}:
+      - NICHT `emit`en.
+      - Stattdessen Content-Script anweisen: "snap back" ODER Desync-Confirm anzeigen.
+- [ ] **Snap-Back-Zielzeit berechnen:** aus Host-Peer-State (`playbackState`, `currentTime`, `lastHeartbeat`) extrapolieren:
+      `targetTime = host.currentTime + (host.playbackState==='playing' ? (now - host.lastHeartbeat)/1000 : 0)`.
+      Genauigkeit ~±1s, für Watchparty ok. (Force-Sync-Maschinerie als Referenz für Ziel-Zeit-Koordination.)
+- [ ] Nachricht an content.js: `{ type: 'HOST_BLOCK', action, targetTime, hostPlaybackState }`.
+
+### 4. content.js (Player-Reaktion + Dialog)
+- [ ] Handler für `HOST_BLOCK`: Confirm-Dialog im Player-Overlay rendern:
+      "Pause only your own player and desync from the group? [Yes] [No]".
+      - **No** (Default): Player via bestehende `_setSuppress`-Mechanik ([content.js:442](../extension/content.js:442)) wieder in Raum-Zustand zwingen (play + seek auf targetTime). Suppress verhindert Re-Broadcast.
+      - **Yes:** lokal pausiert lassen, `isDesynced = true` setzen, dezenten "Desynced — Resync"-Button zeigen.
+- [ ] "Resync"-Button → snappt zurück auf aktuelle Raum-Zeit, `isDesynced = false`.
+- [ ] **Loop-Schutz:** nach einer Snap-Back-Aktion kurzes Cooldown-Fenster (z.B. 600ms), in dem weitere lokale pause/seek-Events nicht erneut den Dialog triggern (verhindert pause→play→pause-Pingpong).
+
+### 5. popup (Host-UI)
+- [ ] Host-Toggle "Only I can control" (nur sichtbar wenn `amHost()`), sendet `SET_CONTROL_MODE`.
+- [ ] Rollen-Badge: "Host" / "Guest" + aktueller Modus.
+- [ ] Gast-Hinweis wenn host-only aktiv: "The host controls playback".
+- [ ] i18n-Keys in `extension/_locales` / `locales` für ~15 Sprachen.
+
+---
+
+## Edge Cases (Test-Checkliste)
+
+1. **Pause nicht verhinderbar, nur revidierbar** → kurzer Flicker (~½s) beim Gast ist erwartet/akzeptabel.
+2. **Snap-Back-Zielzeit** aus Heartbeat extrapoliert, ±1s. Bei stark veraltetem Host-State (kein Heartbeat) → letzten bekannten Wert nehmen.
+3. **Kampf-Loop pause/play/skip back/pause/play** → Cooldown-Fenster nach Snap-Back. Testen mit aggressivem Mashing.
+4. **Desync-Escape:** Gast kann bewusst pausieren (Klo/Telefon) → "Yes" → solo, dann Resync.
+5. **Host verlässt Raum** → Fallback auf `everyone`, alle bekommen `CONTROL_MODE`-Update. Testen: Host schließt Tab / Disconnect / Netzabbruch.
+6. **host-only + Episode-Auto-Sync / Force-Sync** (server/index.js:503-516): **Gast darf NICHT initiieren.** Force-Sync trägt eine `targetTime` und zwingt ALLE darauf (background.js:1261) — ein Gast könnte seeken → Force-Sync spammen und damit host-only komplett aushebeln. Episode-Lobby pausiert ebenfalls alle. → Im host-only-Modus dürfen `FORCE_SYNC_PREPARE`/`FORCE_SYNC_EXECUTE` und `EPISODE_LOBBY` nur vom Host **initiiert** werden. Gäste dürfen weiterhin nur **reagieren**: `FORCE_SYNC_ACK`, `EPISODE_READY`. Gäste brauchen Force-Sync nicht — ihr legitimer Fall ist der "Resync"-Button (snappt nur sie selbst, nicht alle).
+7. **Alter Client (ohne Feature) in host-only-Raum** → kennt Modus nicht, sendet weiter pause/seek → andere Extensions wenden es an. Mitigation: Empfänger-seitiges Gate (host-only-Clients ignorieren play/pause/seek von Nicht-Host) ODER `MIN_VERSION`/Protokoll-Bump. → **Empfehlung: zusätzlich Empfänger-seitig filtern** (robuster als nur Sender-Gate).
+8. **Seek getrennt von Pause** → host-only blockt auch Gast-Seeks, nicht nur Pausen.
+9. **Mehrere Tabs / Multi-Peer mit gleicher peerId** (Dedup, server:381) → Host-Identität bleibt an peerId hängen, ok.
+10. **DAU-Verwirrung** "warum kann ich nicht mehr pausieren?" → klare UI-Botschaft + der Desync-Dialog erklärt sich selbst.
+
+## Architektur-Entscheidung zu Edge Case 7 (wichtig)
+Wir setzen das Gate **doppelt** und über **alle raum-verschiebenden Events**, nicht nur play/pause/seek:
+Geblockte Initiierungen für Nicht-Host im host-only-Modus:
+`PLAY`, `PAUSE`, `SEEK`, `FORCE_SYNC_PREPARE`, `FORCE_SYNC_EXECUTE`, `EPISODE_LOBBY`.
+Weiterhin erlaubt für Gäste (reine Reaktion, verschiebt niemanden): `FORCE_SYNC_ACK`, `EPISODE_READY`, `PEER_STATUS`, `PING`/`PONG`.
+
+- **Sender-seitig** (Gast sendet erst gar nicht) → saubere UX, Confirm-Dialog bei play/pause/seek; Force-Sync-/Episode-Lobby-Buttons im Gast-UI deaktiviert/ausgeblendet.
+- **Empfänger-seitig** (in `handleServerEvent`, background.js:969 + Force-Sync-/Episode-Cases): wenn `host-only` und `data.senderId !== hostPeerId` → Event verwerfen (nicht an Content routen, keine State-Mutation).
+So sind auch alte/buggy/manipulierte Clients abgedeckt, ohne harten Protokoll-Bump.
+
+Optional zusätzlich **server-seitig** in den `relayEvents` (server/index.js:445): im host-only-Modus Initiierungs-Events von Nicht-Host gar nicht erst relayen. Spart Traffic + deckt alles zentral ab. Empfehlenswert, da der Server `hostPeerId`/`controlMode` ohnehin kennt.
+
+---
+
+## Reihenfolge der Umsetzung (kleine, testbare Schritte)
+1. Constants + Build (Events da, nichts kaputt).
+2. Server: hostPeerId/controlMode + ROOM_DATA + SET_CONTROL_MODE + Migration.
+3. background.js: State übernehmen + Empfänger-seitiges Gate (Edge 7) — testbar ohne UI.
+4. background.js: Sender-seitiges Gate + Snap-Back-Zielzeit.
+5. content.js: Snap-Back-Apply + Confirm-Dialog + Loop-Cooldown.
+6. popup: Host-Toggle + Badge + i18n.
+7. Durchtesten der Edge-Case-Liste auf YT / Netflix / generischem HTML5-Player.

-- **Dual Heartbeat**: Advanced session tracking (Background) and video synchronization (Content) to prevent ghost sessions.
+- **On-Demand Connection**: The service worker only maintains a WebSocket connection while you're in a room. No persistent background connections — privacy-first architecture. Based on `connectIntent` flag that gates all reconnect attempts.
