+> **TEMPORÄR:** Diese Datei dient nur der gemeinsamen Planung des Landingpage-UI-Overhauls
+> auf dem Branch `landingpage-ui-overhaul`. Sie ist **kein** Teil des finalen Features und
+> **muss vor dem Öffnen des PRs wieder gelöscht werden**.
+
+# Landingpage UI Overhaul — Hero Mockup
+
+## Ausgangslage
+Die Landingpage (`website/template.html`, `website/style.css`, `website/app.js`, kompiliert
+via `website/build.cjs` nach `website/www/`) ist bereits sehr gut, soll aber **statisch und
+backend-frei** bleiben. Einziger Fokus dieses Overhauls: das rechte Hero-Mockup
+(`.hero-mockup-wrapper` / `.extension-mockup`, `template.html:304-579`).
+
+**Heutiger Zustand:** Ein 1:1-Nachbau des Extension-Popups mit 4 Tabs (Room / Sync /
+Settings / Status). Tab-Wechsel nur per Klick (`app.js:391-407`), keine Animationen, kein
+Auto-Play, kein Bezug zu den eigentlichen Video-Tabs, die synchronisiert werden.
+
+## Ziel
+Ein dynamischeres, platzoptimiertes Hero-Visual, das das Kernversprechen von KoalaSync
+("zwei Browser-Tabs synchron abspielen") direkt zeigt — mit echten Animationen, einem
+automatischen Durchlauf beim ersten Sichtbarwerden und voller manueller Bedienbarkeit
+danach. Auf Mobile (Bildschirmgröße) bleibt exakt das heutige, statische Popup-Mockup
+erhalten — kein neues Mobile-Design nötig, kein zusätzlicher Wartungsaufwand dort.
+
+## Getroffene Entscheidungen (aus Rückfrage-Runde)
+
+1. **Layout:** Gestapelt/Layered — zwei Browser-Tab-Karten leicht versetzt im Hintergrund
+   (Tiefeneffekt via `transform`/`box-shadow`), Extension-Popup öffnet sich als Overlay
+   davor/darüber.
+2. **Tab-Inhalt:** Abstraktes Video-Mock — Gradient-Placeholder als "Video", Play-Button,
+   Fortschrittsbalken, Timestamp. Kein echtes Videomaterial, keine Marken/Logos, im
+   bestehenden minimalistischen `mock-*`-Stil.
+3. **Auto-Play-Verhalten:** Einmaliger Durchlauf beim Sichtbarwerden (IntersectionObserver),
+   danach reiner manueller Modus. Kein Endlos-Loop im Hintergrund.
+4. **Popup-Umfang:** Alle 4 Tabs (Room/Sync/Settings/Status) bleiben inhaltlich unverändert
+   — nur in die neue Animations-/Overlay-Logik eingebettet, kein Content-Kahlschlag.
+
+## Vorgeschlagenes Storyboard (einmaliger Auto-Durchlauf)
+
+1. **Ausgangszustand:** Zwei Tab-Karten ("Tab A" / "Tab B") sichtbar, Video-Mocks pausiert,
+   Fortschrittsbalken bei 0. Popup geschlossen, nur ein kleiner Launcher-Button sichtbar.
+2. Popup öffnet sich (scale/slide-in) vor den Tab-Karten.
+3. Simulierter Klick auf "Play" im Sync-Tab → beide Tab-Karten starten gleichzeitig
+   (Fortschrittsbalken laufen synchron), begleitet von einem kurzen "Sync-Pulse"
+   (Glow/Connection-Line) zwischen den beiden Karten.
+4. Nach ein paar Sekunden: simulierter Klick auf "Pause" → beide Tabs pausieren synchron.
+5. Popup schließt sich, Endzustand bleibt stehen (beide Tabs pausiert, synchron,
+   "Synced"-Indikator dezent sichtbar) — kein Reset auf Ausgangszustand.
+6. **Danach/parallel volle manuelle Steuerung:**
+   - Klick auf eine Tab-Karte togglet deren eigenes Play/Pause *unabhängig* — spielt eine
+     Karte allein, laufen die Fortschrittsbalken bewusst auseinander ("out of sync"), um den
+     Schmerzpunkt zu illustrieren, den KoalaSync löst.
+   - Klick auf Play/Pause im Popup synchronisiert immer beide Tabs.
+   - Popup lässt sich jederzeit manuell öffnen/schließen, Tabs (Room/Sync/Settings/Status)
+     bleiben wie heute klickbar.
+   - Jede manuelle Interaktion während des Auto-Durchlaufs bricht diesen sofort ab und
+     übergibt die volle Kontrolle.
+
+## Technischer Ansatz (Vorschlag)
+
+- **Keine neuen Dependencies** — reines Vanilla JS + CSS, passend zur "Zero-Dependency"-
+  Philosophie des Projekts (siehe `website/README.md`).
+- **Eine "Director"-Funktion** in `app.js`, die exakt dieselben Click-Handler wie die
+  manuelle Bedienung aufruft (kein doppelter Code-Pfad zwischen Auto- und Manual-Modus).
+- **IntersectionObserver** triggert den einmaligen Durchlauf beim ersten Sichtbarwerden.
+- **`prefers-reduced-motion`**: Auto-Durchlauf und Cursor-Ripple-Indikatoren werden
+  übersprungen, Endzustand wird direkt gesetzt (Pattern existiert bereits in
+  `style.css:2915-2939`).
+- **Kein DOM-Duplikat für Mobile:** Das Popup-Markup bleibt eine einzige Quelle. Der neue
+  `.hero-mockup-dynamic`-Wrapper enthält die Tab-Karten + das Popup; unterhalb des
+  bestehenden Breakpoints (768px, siehe `style.css:1913`) werden die Tab-Karten und
+  Animationen per CSS ausgeblendet, das Popup fällt optisch auf das heutige, statische
+  Erscheinungsbild zurück, JS initialisiert dort keine Animationen. Vermeidet doppelte
+  i18n-Pflege der ~270 Zeilen Popup-Markup.
+- **i18n-Vorsicht:** 15 Locale-Dateien unter `website/locales/*.json`. Neue sichtbare Texte
+  (Tab-Labels etc.) nach Möglichkeit vermeiden oder wie bestehende Mock-Inhalte
+  (z. B. "CoolUsername", "Stranger Things - S4E1") als nicht-lokalisierte Platzhalter
+  behandeln, um Übersetzungsaufwand in 15 Sprachen zu vermeiden. Neue `{{MOCK_XX}}`-Keys nur
+  falls wirklich nötig, dann mit Übersetzung in allen 15 Dateien.
+- **Build:** Änderungen nur in den Source-Dateien (`template.html`, `style.css`, `app.js`),
+  niemals in `website/www/**` (generiert via `website/build.cjs`).
+
+## Detailentscheidungen (bei der Umsetzung getroffen)
+
+- [x] Breakpoint Mobile-Fallback: bestehende 768px übernommen (`matchMedia('(min-width: 769px)')`
+      im JS, `@media (max-width: 768px)` im CSS).
+- [x] Auto-Durchlauf-Timing: Start ~1,4s nach 45% Sichtbarkeit (IntersectionObserver), dann
+      Cursor → Launcher → Sync-Tab → Play (läuft ~3s synchron) → Pause → Popup schließt.
+      Gesamtdauer ca. 10s.
+- [x] Tab-Karten haben User-Badges passend zur Peer-Liste im Popup: "CoolUsername" (indigo)
+      und "KoalaPC" (grün), gleicher Episodentitel "Stranger Things - S4E1".
+- [x] Echter animierter Ghost-Mauszeiger (SVG-Cursor mit Klick-Ripple), kein reiner
+      Ripple-Indikator — verkauft den Durchlauf deutlich besser.
+- [x] Keine externe Referenz — eigener Stil, konsistent mit dem bestehenden `mock-*`-Design.
+- [x] ~~Drift-Konzept~~ **Verworfen nach Feedback** — es stellte die Extension falsch dar
+      (als bräuchte sie das offene Popup). Ersetzt durch das **Broadcast-Modell**: Play/
+      Pause/Seek auf *irgendeinem* Video wird automatisch zum Peer gespiegelt (Puls wandert
+      über die Verbindungslinie, Peer folgt ~260ms später, Engine gleicht die Zeit an). Der

+# 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.
+- **One-click invite links** auto-configure the server and room for your friends — they just click the link and they're in. No fumbling with server URLs or room IDs.
+- **Dual-heartbeat architecture** kills ghost rooms and stale connections before they desync your session.
+- **15 languages** fully translated and switchable in real time from the settings panel — English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil + European), Russian, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Ukrainian.
+
+### Install and start in under a minute
+
+Install KoalaSync from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons, click "Create Room," share the invite link, and pick a video. The official relay is ready out of the box — no setup required unless you want to self-host.

-• Real-Time Relay: Playback state is synchronized through a custom WebSocket-based relay server for fast room updates.
+• 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.

 To avoid boot-time race conditions in Manifest V3 without a bundler, the following architectural trade-off is enforced:
 - **Synchronous Execution**: `content.js` MUST execute synchronously to catch early media events. 
-- **Automated Injection**: The build script (`node scripts/build-extension.js`) automatically injects `EVENTS` and `HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL` into `content.js` using marker-based replacement (see `../scripts/README.md` for marker details).
-- **Maintenance**: After modifying `shared/constants.js`, simply run the build script. No manual mirroring is required.

 - **Docker Context**: The Docker build must run from the **Repo Root**.
-- **Manifest Settings**: `run_at` must remain `document_idle`, and `all_frames` must remain `false`.
+- **Content Script Scope**: `bridge.js` is the only static content script in the manifest and runs on `https://sync.koalastuff.net/*` at `document_start`. Video control scripts are injected only into the selected tab via `chrome.scripting`; do not add broad persistent video content-script matches.
+- **Self-Hosting Salt**: Production/self-hosted relay examples must include a unique `SERVER_SALT` so room-password hashes are not derived with the public fallback salt.
 - **Strict Backward & Forward Compatibility (Store Delay Rule)**: Browser extensions are distributed through stores (e.g., Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons) which can take up to 2 weeks to approve updates. Therefore, the server MUST NOT reject older extension clients unless a critical protocol version bump is explicitly authorized, and new extension versions MUST remain fully operational when connected to older servers (e.g., by silently falling back if a new feature is not supported). This is a core architectural requirement.

-## [v2.3.0] — Unreleased
+## Unreleased
+
+---
+
+## [v2.5.3] — 2026-07-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **Extension: Disney+ force sync and seeking** — Fixed force sync on Disney+ failing or jumping to wrong positions. The extension now relies solely on accurate player-API time and fails cleanly when it isn't available yet, instead of falling back to unreliable raw video data.
+- **Extension: Force-sync accuracy** — When syncing to the group, peers whose current position isn't known yet (e.g. a Disney+ peer that just loaded) no longer pull the sync target toward the start of the video.
+- **Extension: Disney+ Host Control Mode** — Regular Disney+ content is no longer misclassified as a live stream, which had silently disabled the desync dialog and snap-back for guests in host-controlled rooms. YouTube and Twitch live detection is unchanged.
+- **Extension: Disney+ episode auto-sync** — Episode transitions and the "waiting for peers" lobby flow now work reliably on Disney+ again.
+
+---
+
+## [v2.5.2] — 2026-07-02
+
+### Added
+- **Extension: Privacy title controls** - Advanced users can now disable sending browser tab titles separately from media titles. Media titles can still be sent in full, reduced to detected episode identifiers such as `S01E04`, or hidden entirely. Defaults remain full titles for backwards compatibility.
+- **Relay: Cleaner restart handling** — Connected clients are now disconnected explicitly during relay shutdown so reconnects recover more predictably.
+- **Relay: Stronger abuse protection** — Rapid room-leave spam is now rate-limited.
+- **Extension: Hidden remote seek diagnostics** — KoalaDev can use the hidden Dev tab to simulate remote seeks and inspect precise native/page-API timing while debugging playback integrations.
+
+### Changed
+- **Extension: Shared page-API seek bridge** — Netflix and Disney+ now use a common page-level seek bridge so private player APIs can be invoked from the page context while the default HTML5 path stays unchanged.
+- **Build: Release build timestamp** — Extension builds now inject a build timestamp into the hidden Dev tab for easier local package verification.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Extension: Disney+ precise sync** — Disney+ now reads time and seeks through the real page media-player API, and the temporary DOM timeline/button scraping fallback has been removed.
+- **Extension: Netflix seek reliability** — Netflix seeking keeps using the page player API with a safer session lookup path.
+- **Extension: Tab-title counter cleanup** — Leading browser notification counters such as `(14)` or `[7]` are removed from shared tab titles and matching logic without changing the existing privacy controls.
+- **Extension: Tab navigation reinjection** — Reinjecting the content script after selected-tab navigation now uses the same page-API-aware injection path.
+
+---
+
+## [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).

+# 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)

Playback metadata (`playbackState`, `currentTime`, `volume`, `muted`) is held per peer for the duration of the session. All of this is deleted as soon as you leave the room.
 - **Room Passwords**: If you set a room password, it is stored only as an in-memory **keyed SHA-256 HMAC hash**. The server receives the plaintext password only during join validation, never stores it, and keeps only the hash for the short room lifetime.

+# WebSocket Protocol Reference
+
+This document describes the relay behavior implemented by `server/index.js` and
+the event names defined in `shared/constants.js`.
+
+## Transport
+
+- The relay uses Socket.IO v4 events over WebSocket.
+- Long-polling is disabled (`transports: ['websocket']`, `allowUpgrades: false`).
+- Messages are Socket.IO event packets whose payload is an event name plus an
+  object payload.
+- The relay caps incoming Socket.IO message size at 4 KB.
+
+## Connection Handshake
+
+The Socket.IO handshake must include:
+
+- `token`: must match `OFFICIAL_SERVER_TOKEN`.
+- `version`: optional app version. If present, it must be a valid semver-like
+  string and not older than `MIN_VERSION` (default `1.0.0`).
+
+If the token is invalid, the relay emits `error` and disconnects the socket.
+If `version` is invalid or too old, the relay emits `error` and disconnects the
+socket.
+
+After the socket is connected, `join_room` must include `protocolVersion`.
+It must equal `PROTOCOL_VERSION` exactly. A mismatch emits `error` and rejects
+the join attempt; it does not currently disconnect the socket.
+
+## Room Join
+
+### `join_room` (client -> server)
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "roomId": "string, sanitized to [A-Za-z0-9-], max 64",
+  "peerId": "string, max 16",
+  "username": "string, max 30",
+  "password": "string, max 128, optional",
+  "tabTitle": "string, max 100, optional",
+  "mediaTitle": "string, max 100, optional",
+  "protocolVersion": "string, max 16"
+}
+```
+
+Behavior:
+
+- Creates the room if it does not exist and capacity allows it.
+- The first peer becomes `hostPeerId`.
+- Rooms may have an optional password hash.
+- Joining with a duplicate `peerId` disconnects the previous socket for that peer.
+- Joining the same room with the same socket and peer is ignored as a no-op.
+- Switching rooms removes the socket from the old room first.
+
+On success, the joining socket receives `room_data`.
+Other room members receive `peer_status` with `status: "joined"`.
+
+### `room_data` (server -> client)
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "roomId": "string",
+  "peers": ["peer state objects"],
+  "activeLobby": "object or null",
+  "hostPeerId": "string or null",
+  "controlMode": "everyone | host-only",
+  "controllers": ["peerId"],
+  "capabilities": ["host-control", "co-host"]
+}
+```
+
+`room_data` is sent to the joining socket. It is not the general broadcast used
+for every later room update.
+
+## Room Leave
+
+### `leave_room` (client -> server)
+
+Payload: none.
+
+Behavior:
+
+- Rate-limited to 10 events per socket per minute.
+- If the socket is mapped to a room, the relay removes it from that room.
+- Remaining room members receive `peer_status` with `status: "left"` when the
+  peer is no longer represented by another socket.
+- Empty rooms are deleted.
+- If the host leaves and peers remain, the relay assigns the next peer as host,
+  falls back to `controlMode: "everyone"`, resets controllers to the new host,
+  and broadcasts `control_mode`.
+
+Exceeding the `leave_room` limit is logged and the socket is disconnected.
+
+## Relayed Room Events
+
+The relay accepts and sanitizes these events, then emits the same event to other
+peers in the room:
+
+- `play`
+- `pause`
+- `seek`
+- `peer_status`
+- `force_sync_prepare`
+- `force_sync_ack`
+- `force_sync_execute`
+- `episode_lobby`
+- `episode_ready`
+- `episode_lobby_cancel`
+
+Relayed payload fields are sanitized and may include:
+
+```json
+{
+  "senderId": "peerId of sender",
+  "seq": "number",
+  "currentTime": "number 0..86400 or null",
+  "targetTime": "number 0..86400",
+  "playbackState": "playing | paused",
+  "username": "string, max 30",
+  "tabTitle": "string, max 100 or null",
+  "mediaTitle": "string, max 100 or null",
+  "volume": "number 0..1",
+  "muted": "boolean",
+  "desynced": "boolean",
+  "peerId": "sender peerId",
+  "status": "string, max 16",
+  "expectedTitle": "string, max 100",
+  "title": "string, max 100",
+  "actionTimestamp": "number"
+}
+```
+
+Undefined fields are removed before relay. Raw client payloads are not forwarded.
+
+## Media Control
+
+### `play`, `pause`, `seek`
+
+These are room-moving actions. In `host-only` mode, the relay drops them unless
+the sender is a controller.
+
+Common payload fields:
+
+- `currentTime` for `play`/`pause`.
+- `targetTime` for `seek`.
+- `seq` and `actionTimestamp` when the extension needs stale-command or ACK
+  handling.
+
+The content script applies additional client-side filtering for noisy native
+player events before it sends these events.
+
+## Peer Status
+
+### `peer_status`
+
+Used for heartbeats and peer state updates. The extension sends it every
+`HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL` while syncing is active.
+
+Typical fields:
+
+- `peerId`
+- `username`
+- `tabTitle`
+- `mediaTitle`
+- `playbackState`
+- `currentTime`
+- `volume`
+- `muted`
+- `desynced`
+- `status`
+
+The relay stores sanitized peer state and relays the sanitized update to other
+peers.
+
+## Force Sync
+
+Force sync coordination is implemented primarily in the extension. The relay
+sanitizes and relays the events.
+
+### `force_sync_prepare`
+
+Payload includes `targetTime`. The initiator waits for ACKs or for
+`FORCE_SYNC_TIMEOUT` before sending `force_sync_execute`.
+
+In `host-only` mode, only controllers may initiate it.
+
+### `force_sync_ack`
+
+The extension sends ACKs with peer identity and sequence data. The relay relays
+them with the same sanitized relay envelope as other room events, including
+`senderId`.
+
+### `force_sync_execute`
+
+Payload includes `targetTime`. In `host-only` mode, only controllers may send it.
+The relay also allows a matching initiator's execute event after that initiator
+started the prepare step, even if their controller state changed before execute.
+
+## Episode Lobby
+
+Episode lobby coordination is implemented primarily in the extension. The relay
+tracks enough state to include `activeLobby` in `room_data` for later joiners.
+
+### `episode_lobby`
+
+Payload uses `expectedTitle`. The relay creates `activeLobby` when this field is
+present and no lobby is already active.
+
+In `host-only` mode, only controllers may initiate it.
+
+### `episode_ready`
+
+Payload may include `title`. The relay adds the sender to the active lobby's
+ready list when a lobby exists.
+
+### `episode_lobby_cancel`
+
+Clears the active lobby and is relayed to peers. In `host-only` mode, only
+controllers may initiate it.
+
+## Host Control Mode
+
+### `set_control_mode` (client -> server)
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "controlMode": "everyone | host-only"
+}
+```
+
+Only the room host may change the mode. Non-host attempts are ignored and the
+sender receives the current `control_mode` snapshot.
+
+Mode changes are debounced per room with `CONTROL_MODE_MIN_INTERVAL_MS` (500 ms).
+
+### `set_peer_role` (client -> server)
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "peerId": "string, max 16",
+  "controller": "boolean"
+}
+```
+
+Only the room host may promote or demote controllers. The host cannot demote
+themself. Role changes use the same 500 ms per-room debounce as mode changes.
+
+### `control_mode` (server -> client)
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "controlMode": "everyone | host-only",
+  "hostPeerId": "string or null",
+  "controllers": ["peerId"]
+}
+```
+
+Sent when mode or controller state changes, when host migration changes room
+authority, and when unauthorized role/mode attempts need to resync the sender.
+
+## Room List
+
+### `get_rooms` (client -> server)
+
+Payload: none.
+
+No admin token is required for this Socket.IO event.
+
+Limits:
+
+- Counts against the per-socket event limit.
+- Also has a 10 second per-socket cooldown.
+
+### `room_list` (server -> client)
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "rooms": [
+    {
+      "id": "room id",
+      "peerCount": 2,
+      "hasPassword": false
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Ping, Pong, and ACK
+
+### `ping`
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "t": 1234567890,
+  "target": "peerId, optional"
+}
+```
+
+If `target` is omitted, the relay responds to the sender with `pong`.
+If `target` is another peer in the same room, the relay sends `ping` to that peer
+with `{ "t": ..., "sender": "senderPeerId" }`.
+
+### `pong`
+
+Payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "t": 1234567890,
+  "target": "peerId, optional"
+}
+```
+
+If `target` is a peer in the same room, the relay sends `pong` to that peer with
+`{ "t": ... }`.
+
+### `event_ack`
+
+Client payload:
+
+```json
+{
+  "targetId": "peerId",
+  "actionTimestamp": 1234567890
+}
+```
+
+If sender and target are still in the same room, the relay emits:
+
+```json
+{
+  "senderId": "sender peerId",
+  "actionTimestamp": 1234567890
+}
+```
+
+## Rate Limits
+
+- Connections: 10 per IP per minute; excess connections are disconnected.
+- Relayed/events: 50 per socket per 10 seconds; excess disconnects the socket.
+- `get_rooms`: 10 second cooldown per socket plus the event limit.
+- `leave_room`: 10 per socket per minute; excess disconnects the socket.
+- Invalid room passwords: tracked per IP and room. Five recent failures block
+  more password attempts for that room until the failure window ages out.
+- HTTP health and admin-metrics endpoints have their own rate limits outside this
+  Socket.IO protocol.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+`room_data.capabilities` advertises server-backed features:
+
+- `host-control`
+- `co-host`
+
+Clients should treat a missing or unknown capabilities list as unsupported.

+# KoalaSync Translation & Localization Guide
+
+Welcome to the **KoalaSync** translation guide. We rely on the open-source community to make KoalaSync accessible to users worldwide.
+
+KoalaSync is split into two independent translation areas. You can translate either one, or both:
+
+1. **The Browser Extension** (`extension/locales/`): The core product that users interact with daily.
+2. **The Website** (`website/locales/`): The landing page and invitation bridge.
+
+---
+
+## Supported Languages Dashboard
+
+We divide supported languages into two tiers: **Core Languages** (fully hand-crafted and audited by native speakers) and **Extended Languages** (auto-generated using translation models to expand initial coverage).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> **Help Us Improve!**
+> We welcome community contributions to audit `Auto-Generated` translations and elevate them to `100% Manually Verified` status.
+
+| Language Code | Language Name | Verification Status | Rationale / Context |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `en` | **English** | `100% Manually Verified` | Global default language (verified by developer) |
+| `de` | **German** | `100% Manually Verified` | Developer's native language |
+| `fr` | **French** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |
+| `es` | **Spanish** | `100% Manually Verified` | Manual native review by Alenia Studios |
+| `pt-BR` | **Portuguese (Brazil)** | `100% Manually Verified` | Manual native review by Alenia Studios |
+| `ru` | **Russian** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |
+| `it` | **Italian** | `100% Manually Verified` | Manual native review by Alenia Studios |
+| `pl` | **Polish** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |
+| `tr` | **Turkish** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |
+| `nl` | **Dutch** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |
+| `ja` | **Japanese** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |

+| `zh` | **Chinese (Simplified)** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |
+| `uk` | **Ukrainian** | `Auto-Generated` | Needs manual native review and polishing |
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> **Autogeneration Quality Rule**
+> Any newly contributed languages must be marked as `Auto-Generated` in this table until fully reviewed and signed off by a native speaker in a pull request.

+
+## 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.

+# DevOps Release Workflow
+
+This document describes the deployment and release process for KoalaSync.
+
+## Tag-Based Releases
+
+KoalaSync uses a fully automated release pipeline triggered by Git tags. 
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **DO NOT** manually bump the version numbers in any files (such as `package.json`, `manifest.base.json`, `shared/constants.js`, etc.) before creating a release. 
+> Bumping versions manually is redundant, leads to conflicts, and is completely handled by the CI/CD pipeline.
+
+### How it Works
+
+When you push a Git tag matching `v*` (e.g., `v2.5.1`), the GitHub Actions release workflow (`.github/workflows/release.yml`) is triggered. The workflow performs the following actions:
+
+1. **Extracts the version** from the tag (e.g., `2.5.1` from `v2.5.1`).
+2. **Injects the version** automatically into the following files:
+   - `extension/manifest.base.json`
+   - `shared/constants.js` (updates `APP_VERSION`)
+   - `package.json`
+   - `website/version.json`
+   - `website/template.html` (updates `softwareVersion` schema)
+   - `README.md` (updates badge and announcement banner)
+   - `website/sitemap.xml` (updates `lastmod` dates)
+3. **Commits and pushes** these version updates back to the `main` branch automatically with the commit message `chore(release): update versions to vX.X.X [skip ci]`.
+4. **Builds the extension** for both Chrome and Firefox and publishes the zipped archives.
+5. **Builds the website** and uploads website artifacts.
+6. **Builds and publishes** the Docker image for the relay server to the GitHub Container Registry (`ghcr.io`).
+
+---
+
+## Steps to Deploy a New Release
+
+To release a new version (e.g., `v2.5.1`), follow these steps:
+
+1. Make sure your local repository is synced on `main`:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main
+   git pull origin main
+   ```
+2. Create a local Git tag:
+   ```bash
+   git tag v2.5.1
+   ```
+3. Push the tag to GitHub:
+   ```bash
+   git push origin v2.5.1
+   ```
+
+The release pipeline will take care of the rest! You can monitor the progress under the **Actions** tab of the GitHub repository.

+# Host Control Mode
+
+This document describes the Host Control Mode implementation in the relay and
+extension. It only covers behavior implemented in the current codebase.
+
+## Modes
+
+### `everyone`
+
+- Default room mode.
+- Any peer may send room-moving playback events.
+
+### `host-only`
+
+- Only controllers may send room-moving playback events.
+- The host is always a controller.
+- The host can promote additional peers to controllers.
+- Guests can keep watching locally in solo/desynced mode, but their local actions
+  still do not drive the shared room.
+
+Room-moving events are:
+
+- `play`
+- `pause`
+- `seek`
+- `force_sync_prepare`
+- `force_sync_execute`
+- `episode_lobby`
+- `episode_lobby_cancel`
+
+Heartbeats, force-sync ACKs, episode-ready events, ping/pong, and command ACKs
+remain allowed for guests.
+
+## Server State
+
+Rooms store Host Control state in memory:
+
+```js
+{
+  hostPeerId,
+  controlMode,
+  controllers,
+  lastControlModeChangeAt,
+  lastRoleChangeAt,
+  forceSyncInitiator
+}
+```
+
+`controllers` is a `Set` on the server and is serialized as an array in
+`room_data` and `control_mode`.
+
+State is not persisted across relay restarts.
+
+## Authority Rules
+
+### Changing mode
+
+Only `hostPeerId` may send `set_control_mode`.
+
+Valid values:
+
+- `everyone`
+- `host-only`
+
+Invalid values are ignored. Non-host attempts are ignored and the sender receives
+the current `control_mode` snapshot so optimistic UI can revert.
+
+Mode changes are debounced per room for 500 ms.
+
+### Promoting and demoting controllers
+
+Only `hostPeerId` may send `set_peer_role`.
+
+The host cannot demote themself. No-op role changes are ignored. Role changes are
+debounced per room for 500 ms.
+
+### Host leaving
+
+When the host leaves and peers remain:
+
+- the next peer becomes `hostPeerId`;
+- `controlMode` falls back to `everyone`;
+- `controllers` is reset to the new host;
+- the relay broadcasts `control_mode`.
+
+When a non-host controller leaves, the relay removes that peer from
+`controllers` and broadcasts `control_mode`.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+The implementation has two enforcement points:
+
+- The extension background script blocks local guest attempts in `host-only` and
+  sends `HOST_BLOCKED` to the content script for local UX.
+- The relay drops room-moving events from non-controllers in `host-only`, so old
+  or modified clients cannot drive the room.
+
+The relay is the authority for room-wide effects.
+
+## Guest UX
+
+When a guest action is blocked locally, the content script classifies it:
+
+- deliberate user action: show the host-control dialog;
+- likely involuntary player action (buffering, tab refocus, no recent gesture):
+  silently snap back when safe;
+- live/DVR stream: degrade without forcing snap-back.
+
+The dialog offers:
+
+- stay in sync: resync to the host;
+- watch on my own: enter solo/desynced mode.
+
+In solo/desynced mode:
+
+- the guest can control their local video;
+- host room commands are ignored locally, except force-sync preparation is ACKed
+  so the host's flow can continue;
+- the guest can resync to the host.
+
+The extension reports `desynced` in peer status so the host UI can show that a
+guest is watching solo.
+
+## Force Sync Edge Case
+
+The relay tracks `forceSyncInitiator` after a controller sends
+`force_sync_prepare`.
+
+This allows that same initiator's `force_sync_execute` through even if their
+controller role changes before execute arrives. Without this, a demotion in the
+middle of a force-sync flow could leave peers waiting after prepare.
+
+The relay clears `forceSyncInitiator` after execute or when the initiator leaves.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+The relay advertises Host Control support in `room_data.capabilities`:
+
+- `host-control`
+- `co-host`
+
+The extension hides or disables matching UI when capabilities are missing.
+
+## Related Events
+
+See [PROTOCOL.md](PROTOCOL.md) for payloads and relay behavior for:
+
+- `set_control_mode`
+- `control_mode`
+- `set_peer_role`
+- host-only gated relay events

 # KoalaSync Browser Extension
 
-A Manifest V3 Browser Extension (Chrome & Firefox) for synchronized video playback across any website.
+This directory contains the Manifest V3 browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. It owns the popup UI, background service worker, content-script video control, invitation bridge, audio processing, and all browser-local settings.
+
+## Where You Are
+
+- `manifest.base.json` is the source manifest. The build script creates browser-specific `manifest.json` files in `dist/chrome/` and `dist/firefox/`.
+- `background.js` is the long-lived coordinator: WebSocket client, room state, host-control authority, heartbeat, reconnects, tab selection, and content-script injection.
+- `content.js` runs in the selected video tab. It detects video state, applies remote play/pause/seek, handles episode transitions, and applies local audio processing.
+- `popup.html` and `popup.js` implement the visible extension UI.
+- `extension/shared/` is generated by `npm run build:extension` from the root `shared/` directory. Do not edit it directly.
 
 ## Key Features
-- **Manifest V3**: Optimized Service Worker architecture with session persistence.
-- **Pure Vanilla JS**: No external dependencies or heavy libraries.
-- **Smart Peer IDs**: Hexadecimal IDs combined with customizable Usernames for easy identification.
-- **Dual Heartbeat**: Advanced session tracking (Background) and video synchronization (Content) to prevent ghost sessions.
-- **Live Diagnostics**: Built-in "Dev" tab for real-time video state debugging (ReadyState, CurrentTime, etc.).
-- **Dynamic i18n (Multi-Language)**: Fully localized in 6 languages (`en`, `de`, `fr`, `es`, `pt-BR`, `ru`) with auto-detected fallback and dynamic on-the-fly language selectors.
+
+- **Manifest V3**: Service-worker architecture with session persistence and explicit keep-alive handling.
+- **Pure Vanilla JS**: No extension runtime dependencies and no bundler inside `extension/`.
+- **On-Demand Connection**: The service worker connects only while the user intends to be in a room.
+- **Host Control & Co-Hosts**: Hosts can switch a room into `host-only` mode and grant controller rights to trusted peers.
+- **Episode Auto-Sync**: Title/episode changes can open a lobby so peers resume together once everyone is ready.
+- **Smart Matching & Title Privacy**: Matching video tabs are highlighted, while tab/media title sharing can be reduced or disabled.
+- **Audio Processing**: Optional local compressor settings live in the dedicated audio options page.
+- **Status Diagnostics**: The Status tab exposes connection state, ping, video debug data, action history, and copyable logs.
+- **Dynamic i18n**: 15 languages are supported: `en`, `de`, `fr`, `es`, `it`, `nl`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `tr`, `ru`, `ja`, `ko`, `zh`, and `uk`.
 
 ## Tab Overview
-1. **Room**: Manage connections, view active peers, and share invitation links.
-2. **Sync**: Control video playback (Play/Pause/Force Sync) and view recent activity.
-3. **Settings**: Customize your Username, toggle domain-based Noise Filtering, and switch the App Language.
-4. **Dev**: Monitor connection status and view real-time video element metadata for debugging.
+
+1. **Room**: Select official/custom server, create or join rooms, view peers, share invite links, and manage Host Control when supported by the relay.
+2. **Sync**: Select the video tab, send play/pause/seek/force-sync actions, and view episode lobby state.
+3. **Settings**: Configure username, title sharing, noise filtering, auto episode sync, notifications, language, and audio options.
+4. **Status**: Inspect connection state, latency, video debug info, history, and logs for bug reports.
+5. **Dev**: Hidden developer-only controls shown for the `KoalaDev` username.
 
 ## Privacy & Permissions
-KoalaSync requires `<all_urls>` permission to detect and interact with video elements (`<video>`) on websites.
-- **No Browsing History**: We do not track or store your browsing history.
-- **State Management**: Sensitive data (Room Passwords) is stored locally using `chrome.storage`.
-- **Zero Telemetry**: No analytics or external tracking scripts.
-- **Zero Runtime Dependencies**: The extension is built with pure Vanilla JS and contains no external libraries or tracking scripts, ensuring performance and privacy.
+
+KoalaSync requires `<all_urls>` host permission so it can detect and control `<video>` elements on arbitrary sites.
+
+- No browsing history is collected or uploaded.
+- Room credentials and user settings are stored locally with `chrome.storage`.
+- No analytics, external scripts, external fonts, or tracking libraries are used by the extension.
+- Audio processing is local to the selected tab.
+- Title privacy controls decide whether tab/media titles are shared with room peers.
 
 ## Installation
-1. **Prepare Extension**: From the repository root, run:
-   ```bash
-   node scripts/build-extension.js
-   ```
-2. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/`.
-3. Enable **Developer mode** (top right).
-4. Click **Load unpacked** and select the `dist/chrome` folder.
+
+From the repository root:
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run build:extension
+```
+
+Then load the generated bundle:
+
+- Chrome/Chromium: open `chrome://extensions/`, enable Developer Mode, and load `dist/chrome`.
+- Firefox: open `about:debugging`, choose **This Firefox**, and load `dist/firefox/manifest.json`.
 
 ## Development
-If you modify `shared/constants.js`, you must synchronize the changes by running the build script from the root:
+
+Run the build whenever shared protocol files or extension packaging inputs change:
 ```bash
-node scripts/build-extension.js
+npm run build:extension
 ```
-This ensures that the `extension/shared` folder is updated with the latest protocol constants.
+
+The build copies `shared/constants.js`, `shared/blacklist.js`, `shared/names.js`, and `shared/README.md` into `extension/shared/`, injects synchronous constants into `content.js`, generates browser manifests, and creates zip artifacts in `dist/`.
+
+Useful focused checks from the repository root:
+```bash
+node -c extension/background.js
+node -c extension/content.js
+node -c extension/popup.js
+node scripts/test-episode-utils.mjs
+node scripts/test-title-privacy.mjs
+node scripts/test-audio-settings.mjs
+node scripts/test-locales.cjs
+```
+
+For the full suite, run:
+```bash
+npm run verify
+```
+
+## Do Not Break
+
+- Keep `content.js` synchronous and IIFE-based; it cannot import ES modules directly.
+- Keep the injection markers used by `scripts/build-extension.cjs`.
+- Keep protocol names in `shared/constants.js` as the source of truth.
+- Keep extension runtime dependencies at zero unless the project explicitly decides to introduce a bundler.
+- Keep all extension assets self-hosted.

-# KoalaSync Browser Extension v2.0 - i18n Technical Implementation Plan
-
-Welcome, future Antigravity AI agent! This document is placed directly in the codebase at `/extension/locales/i18n_plan.md` to serve as a comprehensive architectural handbook for the next steps in adding **full internationalization (i18n) support to the browser extension itself** while maintaining 100% video-sync and background communication safety.
-
----
-
-## 🔍 Context & Audited Scope
-
-KoalaSync is a lightweight, premium browser extension (Chrome & Firefox Manifest V3) for synchronized video playback. The landing pages are already compiled dynamically in 6 languages:
-*   English (`en`)
-*   German (`de`)
-*   French (`fr`)
-*   Spanish (`es`)
-*   Portuguese (Brazil) (`pt-BR`)
-*   Russian (`ru`)
-
-Our goal is to build an identical, premium translation engine for the extension itself.
-
----
-
-## 🏛️ Architectural Choice: Custom JSON Dictionary Engine (Approach B)
-
-We evaluated two paths:
-1.  **Approach A (Native `chrome.i18n` API):** Uses `_locales/` directory. Too rigid—cannot support real-time dynamic switching inside the extension Settings dropdown without closing/re-opening the popup.
-2.  **Approach B (Custom Unified JSON Engine):** Uses flat JSON files matching our website files (`"KEY": "Value"`). Dynamically merges the target dictionary with baseline English `en.json` at runtime, programmatically providing an **airtight English fallback** and **real-time DOM translations** without popup reload.
-
-We chose **Approach B** for maximum compatibility, premium real-time toggling, and clean fallback safety.
-
----
-
-## 🔄 Resolve, Load, & State Flow
-
-1.  **On launch:** Look for saved language in `chrome.storage.sync.get('locale')`.
-2.  **Fallback Autodetect:** If no saved language, read `navigator.language` or `chrome.i18n.getUILanguage()`.
-    *   If the detected locale is supported, set as active.
-    *   If not supported, default to English (`en`).
-3.  **Dictionary Resolution:**
-    *   Asynchronously load the English baseline dictionary (`/extension/locales/en.json`).
-    *   If the target language is different, load target JSON (e.g. `/extension/locales/de.json`) and execute `Object.assign({}, enDict, targetDict)`. This guarantees dynamic translation while cleanly falling back to English for any missing keys.
-4.  **DOM Replacements:** Scan for `data-i18n`, `data-i18n-title`, and `data-i18n-placeholder` attributes, and translate them on the fly.
-5.  **Persistence:** Save dynamic selection modifications from the dropdown into `chrome.storage.sync`. Trigger instant DOM re-translation on change.

-## 🛠️ Draft Code Snippets
-
-### 1. `i18n.js` (Zero-Dependency Engine Module)
-```javascript
-// extension/i18n.js
-export const SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES = ['en', 'de', 'fr', 'es', 'pt-BR', 'ru'];
-export const DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = 'en';
-
-let activeDictionary = {};
-
-export async function loadLocale(langCode) {
-    const resolvedLang = SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.includes(langCode) ? langCode : DEFAULT_LANGUAGE;
-    try {
-        const enResponse = await fetch(chrome.runtime.getURL(`locales/${DEFAULT_LANGUAGE}.json`));
-        const enDict = await enResponse.json();
-        
-        if (resolvedLang === DEFAULT_LANGUAGE) {
-            activeDictionary = enDict;
-            return;
-        }
-
-        const targetResponse = await fetch(chrome.runtime.getURL(`locales/${resolvedLang}.json`));
-        const targetDict = await targetResponse.json();
-        
-        activeDictionary = Object.assign({}, enDict, targetDict);
-    } catch (err) {
-        console.error('[i18n] Failed to load dictionary. Falling back to English:', err);
-        const rescue = await fetch(chrome.runtime.getURL(`locales/${DEFAULT_LANGUAGE}.json`));
-        activeDictionary = await rescue.json();
-    }
-}
-
-export function getMessage(key) {
-    return activeDictionary[key] || key;
-}
-
-export function translateDOM() {
-    // Translate text nodes
-    document.querySelectorAll('[data-i18n]').forEach(el => {
-        const key = el.getAttribute('data-i18n');
-        const translated = getMessage(key);
-        const img = el.querySelector('img');
-        if (img) {
-            el.innerHTML = '';
-            el.appendChild(img);
-            el.appendChild(document.createTextNode(' ' + translated));
-        } else {
-            el.textContent = translated;
-        }
-    });
-
-    // Translate tooltips
-    document.querySelectorAll('[data-i18n-title]').forEach(el => {
-        const key = el.getAttribute('data-i18n-title');
-        el.setAttribute('title', getMessage(key));
-    });
-
-    // Translate placeholders
-    document.querySelectorAll('[data-i18n-placeholder]').forEach(el => {
-        const key = el.getAttribute('data-i18n-placeholder');
-        el.setAttribute('placeholder', getMessage(key));
-    });
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Markup Changes (`popup.html`)
-*   Annotate text elements: `<button class="tab-btn" data-tab="tab-settings" data-i18n="TAB_SETTINGS" data-i18n-title="TAB_SETTINGS_TOOLTIP">Settings</button>`
-*   Add Language Dropdown in the Settings Panel:
-    ```html
-    <div class="form-group" style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; background: var(--card); padding: 10px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 12px; border: 1px solid #334155;">
-        <label style="margin-bottom: 0;" data-i18n="LABEL_LANGUAGE" title="Choose your preferred extension language">App Language</label>
-        <select id="langSelector" style="width: 150px; padding: 6px 10px; font-size: 13px; cursor: pointer;">
-            <option value="en">English</option>
-            <option value="de">Deutsch</option>
-            <option value="fr">Français</option>
-            <option value="es">Español</option>
-            <option value="pt-BR">Português (Brasil)</option>
-            <option value="ru">Русский</option>
-        </select>
-    </div>
-    ```
-
-### 3. Dynamic Script Wiring (`popup.js`)
-*   Import our engine: `import { loadLocale, translateDOM, getMessage } from './i18n.js';`
-*   Initialize during startup:
-    ```javascript
-    async function init() {
-        const data = await chrome.storage.sync.get(['locale', ...]);
-        let activeLang = data.locale;
-        if (!activeLang) {
-            const systemLang = (navigator.language || chrome.i18n.getUILanguage()).split('-')[0];
-            activeLang = ['en', 'de', 'fr', 'es', 'pt', 'ru'].includes(systemLang) ? (systemLang === 'pt' ? 'pt-BR' : systemLang) : 'en';
-            chrome.storage.sync.set({ locale: activeLang });
-        }
-        await loadLocale(activeLang);
-        translateDOM();
-        
-        // Select matching option in selector
-        const langSelector = document.getElementById('langSelector');
-        if (langSelector) langSelector.value = activeLang;
-        
-        // rest of standard init...
-    }
-    ```
-*   Listen to Settings change event:
-    ```javascript
-    const langSelector = document.getElementById('langSelector');
-    if (langSelector) {
-        langSelector.addEventListener('change', async () => {
-            const selectedLang = langSelector.value;
-            await chrome.storage.sync.set({ locale: selectedLang });
-            await loadLocale(selectedLang);
-            translateDOM();
-            // Re-render empty elements and tab list using new dynamic strings
-            refreshLogs();
-            refreshHistory();
-            populateTabs();
-        });
-    }
-    ```
-
-### 4. Background Notifications (`background.js`)
-*   Notifications inside `showNotification` should fetch dynamic keys based on `chrome.storage.sync` language settings and build clean alerts dynamically using `chrome.storage.sync.get('locale')`.
-*   Ensure that WebSocket event transmissions and video player scripts in `content.js` remain **completely untouched and unaware** of the localization engine.
-
----
-
-## 🔒 Safety Guardrail
-
-*   **WebSocket Engine Integrity:** Under no circumstances should `background.js` Socket.IO handshakes, rate limits, or binary protocol headers be adjusted. i18n is strictly an interface rendering skin layer.
-*   **Player Control Pipeline Integrity:** `content.js` expectedEvent suppression tables, HLS buffer calculations, and Media Session API listeners must remain untouched. Do not bind any i18n logic into the content script's active tracking loop.
-
----
-
-## 🧪 Verification Tasks
-
-1.  **Autodetection Audit:** Force-load the extension in Chrome/Firefox in a non-English language container and ensure it starts in that language or English gracefully.
-2.  **Integrity Validation Script:** Write a sanity node checker script `/scripts/test-locales.js` to ensure all key structures are uniform across all JSON files.
-3.  **Real-Time Refresh Verification:** Change dynamic drop-down preferences and verify that every element and alert swaps languages cleanly with zero redraw glitches or page crashes.

 # Development Scripts
 
-This directory contains utility scripts for the KoalaSync development workflow.
+This directory contains build, synchronization, and verification scripts for the KoalaSync workspace. Run all commands from the repository root unless a script says otherwise.
 
-## build-extension.js
-
-The primary build tool for KoalaSync. This Node.js script automates two critical tasks:
-
-1.  **Protocol Synchronization**: Copies the "Single Source of Truth" constants (`shared/constants.js`) and the domain blacklist (`shared/blacklist.js`) from the root `/shared` directory into the `extension/shared/` directory.
-2.  **Content Script Injection**: Injects protocol constants directly into `content.js` using marker-based replacement. This is necessary because `content.js` executes synchronously and cannot use ES module imports.
-3.  **Artifact Generation**: Compiles the extension into browser-specific bundles for Chrome and Firefox, located in the `dist/` directory.
-
-### Usage
-
-From the **repository root**, run:
+## Main Commands
 
 ```bash
-node scripts/build-extension.js
+npm run build:extension
+npm run verify
+npm run lint
+npm run test:unit
 ```
 
-### Why this script exists
-KoalaSync uses **Vanilla JS** in the extension to maintain zero runtime dependencies and maximum privacy. Since we don't use a bundler (like Webpack or Vite) inside the extension, this script serves as our lightweight "pre-build" step to ensure that the protocol constants remain synchronized between the extension and the relay server.
+- `npm run build:extension` runs `scripts/build-extension.cjs`.
+- `npm run verify` runs the full release-safety suite in `scripts/verify-release.mjs`.
+- `npm run lint` runs ESLint across the repository.
+- `npm run test:unit` runs Vitest tests.
 
-### Content Injection Markers
+## build-extension.cjs
 
-The build script uses marker comments in `content.js` to locate and replace constant blocks:
+The primary extension build tool performs these steps:
 
-| Marker Pair | Injected Value | Source |
-|:---|:---|:---|
-| `SHARED_EVENTS_INJECT_START` / `END` | The full `EVENTS` object | `shared/constants.js` |
-| `SHARED_HEARTBEAT_INJECT_START` / `END` | `HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL` value | `shared/constants.js` |
+1. Recreates `dist/`.
+2. Copies `shared/constants.js`, `shared/blacklist.js`, `shared/names.js`, and `shared/README.md` into `extension/shared/`.
+3. Injects synchronous shared values into `content.js`.
+4. Injects browser-specific uninstall URL constants into `background.js`.
+5. Injects the build timestamp into `popup.html`.
+6. Generates browser-specific manifests for Chrome and Firefox.
+7. Creates `dist/koalasync-chrome.zip` and `dist/koalasync-firefox.zip`.
 
-> **⚠️ Do NOT remove or modify these marker comments in `content.js`.** They are required for the build script to function. If the markers are missing, the build will fail with a clear error message.
+Usage:
+```bash
+node scripts/build-extension.cjs
+# or
+npm run build:extension
+```
+
+## Injection Markers
+
+The build script uses marker comments/placeholders. Missing markers are a hard build failure so release artifacts cannot silently contain stale protocol data.
+
+| Target | Marker / Placeholder | Injected Value | Source |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `content.js` | `SHARED_EVENTS_INJECT_START` / `END` | Full `EVENTS` object | `shared/constants.js` |
+| `content.js` | `SHARED_HEARTBEAT_INJECT_START` / `END` | `HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL` | `shared/constants.js` |
+| `content.js` | `SHARED_EPISODE_UTILS_INJECT_START` / `END` | `extractEpisodeId()` and `sameEpisode()` | `extension/episode-utils.js` |
+| `background.js` | `UNINSTALL_URL_INJECT_START` / `END` | Uninstall URL and browser type | `scripts/build-extension.cjs` |
+| `popup.html` | `__BUILD_TIMESTAMP__` | UTC build timestamp | Build time |
+
+Do not remove or rename these markers without updating the build script and tests.
+
+## Verification Suite
+
+`scripts/verify-release.mjs` is the best single command before release, PR review, or handoff:
+
+```bash
+npm run verify
+```
+
+It currently runs:
+
+- Vitest unit tests.
+- Server ops, route, WebSocket, and rate-limiter checks.
+- Episode parser, title privacy, audio settings, popup cooldown, names, and content-video-finder checks.
+- JavaScript syntax checks for server and extension entry points.
+- Extension and website locale coverage checks.
+- ESLint.
+- Production `npm audit` checks for root and server dependencies.
+- Extension build and website build.
+
+## Focused Scripts
+
+| Script | Purpose |
+|:---|:---|
+| `test-server-ops.mjs` | Health payload and admin metrics helpers |
+| `test-server-routes.mjs` | HTTP health routes, caching, and admin metrics access |
+| `test-server-ws.mjs` | Socket.IO relay integration, including host-control behavior |
+| `test-rate-limiter.mjs` | Rate-limiter map and cooldown behavior |
+| `test-episode-utils.mjs` | Episode-title extraction and comparison |
+| `test-title-privacy.mjs` | Tab/media title privacy sanitization |
+| `test-audio-settings.mjs` | Audio settings defaults and normalization |
+| `test-popup-refresh-cooldown.mjs` | Popup refresh throttling behavior |
+| `test-names.mjs` | Generated username format and coverage |
+| `test-content-video-finder.cjs` | Content-script video selection helpers |
+| `test-locales.cjs` | Extension runtime and browser-store locale coverage |
+| `test-website-locales.mjs` | Website locale coverage |
+
+## Do Not Break
+
+- Keep scripts runnable from the repository root.
+- Keep build output under `dist/` and generated website output under `website/www/`.
+- Keep shared protocol sync automated; do not add manual copy steps.
+- Treat warnings in verification scripts as release blockers unless the script explicitly documents them as informational.

+### Room Password Salt
+`SERVER_SALT` is used to HMAC room passwords before they are stored in RAM. The relay has a built-in fallback so development keeps working, but that fallback is public in the repository and the server logs a startup warning when it is used.
+
+For every real self-hosted deployment, set a unique random value:
+```bash
+openssl rand -base64 32
+```
+
+Then add it to `server/.env` or your Compose environment:
+```bash
+SERVER_SALT=replace-with-a-long-random-salt
+```
+
 ### Health & Metrics
 `GET /` and `GET /health` are IP-rate-limited to 10 requests per minute per client IP. These health-style responses are cached server-side for 60 seconds and refreshed lazily on request. By default `/health` returns only basic service status, uptime, room count, connection count, and a timestamp.

+### Verification
+The server is covered by the root verification suite. From the repository root, run:
+```bash
+npm run verify
+```
+
+For focused server checks, see `scripts/test-server-ops.mjs`, `scripts/test-server-routes.mjs`, `scripts/test-server-ws.mjs`, and `scripts/test-rate-limiter.mjs`.
+
 ## Security
 - **Rate Limiting**: IP-based connection limits and socket-based event limits.
 - **Health Endpoint Throttle**: `GET /` and `GET /health` are limited to 10 requests per minute per IP, with 60-second lazy server-side response caching and stricter throttling for wrong admin bearer attempts.
 - **Room Discovery Throttle**: Room-list refreshes are rate-limited server-side to one request every 10 seconds per socket.
 - **Token Handshake**: Requires a valid token defined in the root `shared/constants.js`.
+- **Password Hash Salt**: Set `SERVER_SALT` in every deployment so room-password hashes are not derived with the public fallback salt.
 - **Single Source of Truth**: The server imports constants directly from the root `shared/` directory.
 - **In-Memory**: Rooms are automatically pruned after 2 hours of inactivity.
 - **Reverse Proxy Boundary**: The server trusts one reverse proxy hop for client IP detection. Keep the Node port private/firewalled so clients can only reach it through Caddy or another trusted proxy.

 # KoalaSync Shared Constants
 
-This directory contains constants and protocol definitions used by both the extension and the server.
+This directory is the source of truth for protocol constants and shared browser/server data.
+
+## Where You Are
+
+- `constants.js`: protocol version, app version, official URLs/token, event names, control modes, capabilities, and timing constants.
+- `blacklist.js`: domains hidden by the popup's clutter filter.
+- `names.js`: generated username parts and helper used by the extension.
+- `extension/shared/`: generated mirror created by `npm run build:extension`; do not edit that mirror directly.
 
 ## Syncing with the Extension
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Every time this directory is modified, you must run `node scripts/build-extension.js` to keep the extension's copy up to date.
 
-Because Browser Extensions (Manifest V3) cannot load files outside their root directory, all files in this directory must be copied to `extension/shared/` whenever they are modified. The build script handles this automatically.
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> After modifying any file in this directory, run `npm run build:extension` from the repository root.
+
+Browser extensions cannot import files outside their own root directory, so the build script copies shared files into `extension/shared/` and injects selected constants into `content.js`.
 
 ## Security & Versioning Constants
-- `OFFICIAL_SERVER_TOKEN`: A 32-byte hex token required to connect to the official relay server.
-- `APP_VERSION`: The current version of the extension. Automatically injected from the git tag during CI release builds.
-- `OFFICIAL_SERVER_URL`: The default endpoint for the official KoalaSync relay.
+
+- `PROTOCOL_VERSION`: exact protocol version required during `join_room`.
+- `APP_VERSION`: extension/app version, injected from release tags by CI.
+- `OFFICIAL_SERVER_URL`: default public relay endpoint.
+- `OFFICIAL_LANDING_PAGE_URL`: public website and invitation bridge origin.
+- `OFFICIAL_SERVER_TOKEN`: public client token used to reject non-KoalaSync Socket.IO clients. It is not a secret; see `docs/KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md`.
+- `SUPPORT_URL` and `GITHUB_URL`: public project links used by the extension UI.
+
+## Control Modes & Capabilities
+
+- `CONTROL_MODES.EVERYONE`: default room mode; any peer may control playback.
+- `CONTROL_MODES.HOST_ONLY`: only the host and promoted controllers may move playback.
+- `CAPABILITIES.HOST_CONTROL`: relay supports host-only room authority.
+- `CAPABILITIES.CO_HOST`: relay supports promoted controller peers.
+
+Clients should enable capability-gated UI only when the relay advertises the matching flag in `room_data.capabilities`.
 
 ## Protocol Events
-For the complete and current event list, see the `EVENTS` object in [`constants.js`](constants.js). Key events include:
+
+For the complete event list, read the `EVENTS` object in [`constants.js`](constants.js). Current event groups:
 
 | Event | Direction | Purpose |
-|:------|:----------|:--------|
-| `JOIN_ROOM` | Client → Server | Request to join a room with credentials |
-| `LEAVE_ROOM` | Client → Server | Leave the current room |
-| `ROOM_DATA` | Server → Client | Current room state (peers list) |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| `JOIN_ROOM` | Client -> Server | Join or create a room with credentials and protocol version |
+| `LEAVE_ROOM` | Client -> Server | Leave the current room |
+| `ROOM_DATA` | Server -> Client | Initial room snapshot, peers, host state, capabilities |
+| `ERROR` | Server -> Client | Connection, auth, capacity, or protocol error |
+| `SET_CONTROL_MODE` | Client -> Server | Host switches between `everyone` and `host-only` |
+| `CONTROL_MODE` | Server -> Client | Host/control-mode/controller snapshot changed |
+| `SET_PEER_ROLE` | Client -> Server | Host promotes or demotes a co-host/controller |
 | `PLAY` / `PAUSE` / `SEEK` | Bidirectional relay | Media control commands |
-| `PEER_STATUS` | Bidirectional relay | Heartbeat or join/leave notification |
-| `FORCE_SYNC_PREPARE` | Bidirectional relay | Phase 1: Pause & seek to target time |
-| `FORCE_SYNC_ACK` | Bidirectional relay | Phase 1 confirmation: peer is buffered |
-| `FORCE_SYNC_EXECUTE` | Bidirectional relay | Phase 2: Resume playback simultaneously |
-| `EVENT_ACK` | Server → Client | Delivery confirmation for UI feedback |
-| `EPISODE_LOBBY` | Bidirectional relay | Episode transition: waiting for all peers |
-| `EPISODE_READY` | Bidirectional relay | Episode confirmation: peer has loaded |
-| `GET_ROOMS` / `ROOM_LIST` | Client ↔ Server | Room discovery |
-| `ERROR` | Server → Client | Error message |
+| `PEER_STATUS` | Bidirectional relay | Heartbeat and current media state |
+| `FORCE_SYNC_PREPARE` | Bidirectional relay | Phase 1: pause and seek peers to a target time |
+| `FORCE_SYNC_ACK` | Bidirectional relay | Phase 1 confirmation that a peer is ready |
+| `FORCE_SYNC_EXECUTE` | Bidirectional relay | Phase 2: resume playback together |
+| `EVENT_ACK` | Server -> Client | Delivery confirmation for UI feedback |
+| `EPISODE_LOBBY` | Bidirectional relay | Episode transition lobby started |
+| `EPISODE_READY` | Bidirectional relay | Peer has loaded the episode and is ready |
+| `EPISODE_LOBBY_CANCEL` | Bidirectional relay | Active episode lobby cancelled |
+| `GET_ROOMS` / `ROOM_LIST` | Client <-> Server | Room discovery with server-side cooldown |
+| `PING` / `PONG` | Client <-> Server/Peer | Server RTT and peer latency checks |
+
+## Timing Constants
+
+- `HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL`: content heartbeat interval in milliseconds.
+- `FORCE_SYNC_TIMEOUT`: max wait for force-sync ACKs.
+- `EPISODE_LOBBY_TIMEOUT`: max wait for episode-lobby readiness.
+
+## Do Not Break
+
+- Do not rename events without updating `docs/PROTOCOL.md`, `server/index.js`, `extension/background.js`, and the build-injected `content.js` path.
+- Do not edit `extension/shared/` directly.
+- Keep new server-gated features behind `CAPABILITIES` so old clients and old relays degrade cleanly.
+- Run `npm run build:extension` and `npm run verify` after protocol changes.

 # KoalaSync Website & Invitation Bridge
 
-This directory contains the KoalaSync website. It serves a dual purpose: it is both the **marketing landing page** and the **technical bridge** for joining synchronized rooms.
+This directory contains the static KoalaSync website. It is both the public marketing/onboarding site and the browser-side invitation bridge for joining sync rooms.
+
+## Where You Are
+
+- `template.html`, `style.css`, `app.js`, `lang-init.js`, and `locales/*.json` are source files.
+- `build.cjs` compiles the static site into `website/www/`.
+- `website/www/` is generated output. Do not edit files there directly.
+- `join.html` handles room-invite links and communicates with the extension through `bridge.js`.
+- `llms.txt` gives crawlers and AI tools a compact project overview.
+- `alternatives/` contains comparison pages for users evaluating KoalaSync against other watch-party approaches.
 
 ## Core Roles
 
 ### 1. Marketing & Onboarding
-Provides a premium, multi-language (EN/DE/FR/ES/PT-BR/RU) overview of features, setup instructions, and direct links to the extension stores.
 
-### 2. The Invitation Bridge (`join.html`)
-The website handles incoming invitation links. When a user clicks a link like `sync.koalastuff.net/join.html#join:roomID:pass`, the website:
-- **Detects the Extension**: Verifies if KoalaSync is installed via the `bridge.js` content script.
-- **Privacy-First Handshake**: The room credentials (ID/Password) are stored in the **URL Hash (#)**. This ensures the sensitive credentials **never reach the web server** and are processed entirely within the user's browser.
-- **Auto-Join**: If the extension is detected, it automatically triggers the join flow without requiring user input.
+The site explains KoalaSync, links to browser stores, documents self-hosting, and provides localized user-facing copy in 15 languages:
+
+`en`, `de`, `fr`, `es`, `it`, `nl`, `pl`, `pt`, `pt-BR`, `tr`, `ru`, `ja`, `ko`, `zh`, and `uk`.
+
+### 2. Invitation Bridge (`join.html`)
+
+When a user opens an invitation such as `https://sync.koalastuff.net/join.html#join:roomID:pass`, the page:
+
+- detects whether the KoalaSync extension is installed via the extension's `bridge.js` content script,
+- keeps room credentials inside the URL hash so they are not sent to the web server,
+- asks the extension to join the target room automatically when possible.
 
 ## Architecture
 
-The website is 100% **Static HTML, CSS, and JS**. 
-- **Static i18n Compiler**: The site uses a lightweight, zero-dependency Node.js compiler (`build.js`) to parse dictionary files inside `/locales/` against a single source-of-truth template (`template.html`), outputting the fully deployable static folder to `/www/`.
-- **Build-time Minification**: `build.js` automatically minifies CSS and JS during compilation using a built-in state-machine tokenizer (no npm dependencies). Source files are written unminified (`style.css`, `app.js`, `lang-init.js`) — always edit source files, never the generated `.min.*` files in `www/`.
-- **Zero Backend**: No Node.js, PHP, or databases are required to host the compiled website.
-- **Zero Tracking**: All assets (fonts, icons) are self-hosted to prevent third-party tracking.
-- **Responsive**: Fully optimized for mobile with a native-feel hamburger menu.
+The website is 100% static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
+
+- **Static i18n compiler**: `build.cjs` combines `template.html` with dictionaries in `locales/`.
+- **Build-time minification**: Source CSS/JS stays readable; generated output uses `.min.css` and `.min.js`.
+- **Zero backend**: The compiled site can be hosted by any static file server.
+- **Zero external assets**: Fonts, icons, scripts, and images must remain self-hosted.
+- **Generated SEO/runtime files**: `version.json`, sitemap, robots, clean URLs, localized pages, and minified assets are copied or generated into `www/`.
+
+## Local Development & Compilation
+
+From the repository root:
+```bash
+node website/build.cjs
+npx serve -l 5000 website/www
+```
+
+Then open:
+
+- `http://localhost:5000/` for the default page.
+- `http://localhost:5000/de/` for a localized page.
+- `http://localhost:5000/join.html#join:test-room:test-pass` to test the invitation bridge path.
+
+Focused verification:
+```bash
+node scripts/test-website-locales.mjs
+node --check website/www/app.min.js
+node --check website/www/lang-init.min.js
+```
+
+Full verification:
+```bash
+npm run verify
+```
 
 ## Hosting with Caddy
 
-Caddy is the recommended web server. It provides automatic HTTPS and high-performance static file serving.
-
-### Recommended Caddyfile
-
-For a more comprehensive configuration that includes the Relay Server reverse proxy, see the root [Caddyfile.example](../examples/Caddyfile.example).
+Caddy is the recommended production server because it handles HTTPS and static file serving cleanly. For a complete website plus relay reverse-proxy setup, use the root [Caddyfile.example](../examples/Caddyfile.example).
 
+Minimal static-site block:
 ```caddy
 sync.koalastuff.net {

-        Referrer-Policy no-referrer-when-downgrade
+        X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
+        Referrer-Policy strict-origin-when-cross-origin
     }
 }
 ```
 
-## Local Development & Compilation
+## Do Not Break
 
-1. Run the compilation script from the repository root to generate the `/website/www` folder:
-   ```bash
-   node website/build.js
-   ```
-2. Serve the compiled `/www` directory using any local development server:
-   ```bash
-   npx serve website/www
-   ```
-3. To test the invitation flow locally, navigate to `http://localhost:5000/join.html#join:test-room:test-pass`.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **Never edit files inside `website/www/` directly.** This directory is fully auto-generated by `build.js`. Always edit source files (`template.html`, `style.css`, `app.js`, `lang-init.js`, locale files in `locales/`) and re-run `node website/build.js` to apply changes. CSS and JS are output as `style.min.css`, `app.min.js`, and `lang-init.min.js` — the `.min.*` naming makes it visually obvious these are build artifacts. Editing minified files in `www/` will result in lost changes on the next build.
+- Do not edit `website/www/` manually; rebuild it from sources.
+- Do not add external CDNs, fonts, analytics, or third-party scripts.
+- Keep invite credentials in the URL hash, not query parameters.
+- Keep locale files synchronized with `website/build.cjs` and `scripts/test-website-locales.mjs`.
+- Commit source changes and regenerated `www/` output together when website output changes.

-# KoalaSync Translation & Localization Guide
-
-Welcome to the **KoalaSync** translation and internationalization framework! This document provides clear, professional instructions for developers and contributors looking to maintain, audit, or add new languages to the official KoalaSync website.
-
----
-
-## 🏛️ Architecture Overview
-
-The KoalaSync website utilizes a custom, high-performance, zero-dependency static site generator built in Node.js. Instead of using complex client-side translation runtimes or bulky frameworks, localized pages are compiled ahead-of-time (AOT) to maintain lightning-fast page speeds and strict data sovereignty.
-
-*   **Template Source:** [`website/template.html`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/website/template.html) (Single Source of Truth)
-*   **Locales Source:** `/website/locales/[lang].json` (Structured JSON translation dictionaries)
-*   **Build Pipeline:** [`website/build.js`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/website/build.js) (Pure Node.js script that compiles pages into `/website/www/`)
-
----
-
-## 📊 Supported Languages Dashboard
-
-We divide supported languages into two tiers: **Core Languages** (fully hand-crafted and audited by native speakers) and **Extended Languages** (auto-generated using translation models to expand initial coverage).
-
-> [!TIP]
-> **Help Us Improve!**
-> We welcome community contributions to audit "Auto-Generated" translations and elevate them to "Verified" status.
-
-| Language Code | Language Name | Verification Status | Rationale / Context |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| `en` | 🇬🇧 **English** | `100% Manually Verified` | Primary developer language and system default |

-> [!WARNING]
-> **Autogeneration Quality Rule**
-> Any newly contributed languages must be committed as `"Auto-Generated"` until fully reviewed and signed off by a native speaker in a pull request.

-
-## ⚖️ 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 ([impressum.html](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/website/impressum.html)) and privacy policy ([datenschutz.html](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/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:** The dynamic initializer script (`lang-init.js`) is configured to automatically fallback to **English** for legal pages if a user visits them with a French, Spanish, or other unsupported language preference, keeping their dynamic dropdown choice intact for homepage links.

----
-
-## 🛠️ Step-by-Step: Adding a New Language
-
-Adding a new language (e.g., Italian - `it`) is straightforward. Follow these four structured steps:
-
-### Step 1: Create the Translation Dictionary
-Create a new JSON file inside the locales directory named `[lang].json` (e.g., `website/locales/it.json`).
-1. Copy the structure of [`website/locales/en.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/website/locales/en.json) to use as your baseline.
-2. Translate all string values while keeping the JSON keys identical.
-3. Configure the language metadata keys at the top of the file:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "LANG_CODE": "it",
-     "HTML_CLASS": "lang-it",
-     "CANONICAL_PATH": "it/",
-     "LANG_TOGGLE_URL": "../",
-     "LANG_TOGGLE_TEXT": "EN"
-   }
-   ```
-
-### Step 2: Register in the Compiler
-Open the static site generator script [`website/build.js`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/website/build.js) and append your new language code to the active `languages` array:
-```javascript
-// Add 'it' to the array
-const languages = ['en', 'de', 'fr', 'es', 'pt-BR', 'ru', 'it'];
-```
-
-### Step 3: Run the Build Script
-Execute the compiler from the root of the repository:
-```bash
-node website/build.js
-```
-The compiler will automatically:
-1. Load the new JSON translation file.
-2. Create the target subdirectory `/website/www/it/`.
-3. Generate the compiled `/website/www/it/index.html` landing page, injecting correct relative assets and canonical metadata.
-
-### Step 4: Update the Dashboard
-Open this `TRANSLATION.md` file and add your language to the **Supported Languages Dashboard** table, marking it as `Auto-Generated` (unless manually verified).
-
----
-
-## 🔮 Future Roadmap: Dynamic Utility Pages
-
-For pages that require fully dynamic, client-side interactions (like the room invitation bridge [`join.html`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/website/join.html)), we need to scale to unlimited languages without bloating the HTML size or polluting the URL.
-
-### Clean Client-Side i18n Architecture
-
-To maintain zero URL pollution (e.g. keeping invitation links clean as `/join.html#join:roomID:password`), we propose an **asynchronous JSON dictionary injection architecture**:
-
-#### 1. Page Lifecycle Flow
-1. **User Landing:** The guest enters `/join.html` with a shared hash.
-2. **Language Resolution:** `lang-init.js` immediately reads their saved preference (`localStorage` or `navigator.language`) and applies the active class (e.g. `html.lang = "es"`).
-3. **Async Fetching:** A client-side loader script (`i18n-client.js`) runs asynchronously, downloading the correct dictionary (`fetch("/locales/es.json")`).
-4. **DOM Translation:** The script scans the page for elements carrying a `data-i18n` attribute and safely updates their text content at runtime, avoiding dual-text nodes and stylesheet recalculations.
-
-#### 2. Declarative HTML Markup
-Elements are defined with custom data attributes specifying translation keys. English text is placed as the static HTML fallback:
-```html
-<h1 data-i18n="JOIN_TITLE">Ready to sync?</h1>
-<p id="join-desc" data-i18n="JOIN_SUBTITLE">You've been invited to join a session.</p>
-```
-
-#### 3. Zero-Dependency Engine (`i18n-client.js`)
-```javascript
-document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
-    // 1. Recover the language determined during early initialization
-    const activeLang = document.documentElement.lang || 'en';
-    if (activeLang === 'en') return; // Default markup is already in English
-    
-    // 2. Fetch the corresponding locale JSON asynchronously
-    try {
-        const response = await fetch(`locales/${activeLang}.json`);
-        if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Locale file unavailable');
-        const dictionary = await response.json();
-        
-        // 3. Scan and translate data-i18n attributes
-        document.querySelectorAll('[data-i18n]').forEach(el => {
-            const key = el.getAttribute('data-i18n');
-            if (dictionary[key]) {
-                if (el.tagName === 'IMG') {
-                    el.alt = dictionary[key];
-                } else {
-                    el.textContent = dictionary[key];
-                }
-            }
-        });
-    } catch (err) {
-        console.warn('Dynamic i18n loading failed. Defaulting to English:', err);
-    }
-});
-```
-
-#### Core Benefits
-*   **Zero URL Pollution:** Keeps invitation hashes private and avoids messy query parameters (`?lang=de`), protecting user privacy.
-*   **Optimal Performance:** Eliminates duplicate hidden text blocks, cutting page weight in half and ensuring smooth rendering.
-*   **Infinite Scale:** Adding new languages to dynamic pages requires zero edits to HTML markup; the engine simply fetches new JSON dictionaries on-demand.
-

-
-## 🔌 Extension Internationalization (i18n)
-
-In **v2.0**, we extended full internationalization support to the **Browser Extension itself**. The architecture mirrors our web-based dynamic localization model to maintain complete parity.
-
-*   **Locales Directory:** [`extension/locales/`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/)
-*   **Active Dictionaries:**
-    *   [`en.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/en.json) (🇬🇧 Baseline English)
-    *   [`de.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/de.json) (🇩🇪 German)
-    *   [`fr.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/fr.json) (🇫🇷 French)
-    *   [`es.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/es.json) (🇪🇸 Spanish)
-    *   [`pt-BR.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/pt-BR.json) (🇧🇷 Portuguese (Brasil))
-    *   [`ru.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/ru.json) (🇷🇺 Russian)
-    *   [`it.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/it.json) (🇮🇹 Italian)
-    *   [`pl.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/pl.json) (🇵🇱 Polish)
-    *   [`tr.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/tr.json) (🇹🇷 Turkish)
-    *   [`nl.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/nl.json) (🇳🇱 Dutch)
-    *   [`ja.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/ja.json) (🇯🇵 Japanese)
-    *   [`ko.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/ko.json) (🇰🇷 Korean)
-    *   [`pt.json`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/locales/pt.json) (🇵🇹 European Portuguese)
-*   **Translation Engine:** [`extension/i18n.js`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/extension/i18n.js)
-*   **Validation Script:** [`scripts/test-locales.js`](file:///Users/koala/Documents/KoalaPlay/scripts/test-locales.js)
-
-### ⚙️ How it Works inside the Extension
-
-1. **System Locale Auto-Detection**: On first run, the extension detects the browser system language using `navigator.language` or `chrome.i18n.getUILanguage()`.
-2. **On-the-Fly Redraws**: When the user selects a different language in the settings tab (`#langSelector`), the selection is stored in `chrome.storage.sync` and the translation engine immediately triggers `translateDOM()`. The interface, empty state cards, tooltips, dynamic onboarding tutorial guides, and status badges re-render instantly without reloading the popup.
-3. **Localized System Notifications**: On play, pause, or seek commands, `background.js` retrieves the user's active locale preference from storage, loads the correct dictionary, and pushes native OS notifications fully translated.
-
-### 🧪 Auditing & Sync Checks
-
-To ensure that no language dictionary falls out of sync (causing missing labels or blank interfaces), developers must run the locale auditor tool before packaging releases:
-```bash
-node scripts/test-locales.js
-```
-This script asserts that all JSON dictionary files under `extension/locales/` share exactly the same set of keys as the English baseline (`en.json`).
