Timo 23d43741ce chore: replace Ko-Fi with Support links, drop uninstall token
Switch the Ko-Fi support links to https://support.koalastuff.net across the
README badge, the extension footer (popup.html/template.html, label
"Support KoalaSync") and remove the now-unused KOFI_URL constant. Stop
generating/sending the anonymous uninstall token: initUninstallURL() now
registers the feedback URL without the `t` parameter or storage write.
CHANGELOG updated to match.

Also guard the client CMD_ACK path: only ACK a command sender that is still
a known peer in the room, so we don't emit ACKs to peers that already left
(which the server now drops as absent-peer ACKs anyway).

KoalaSync Shared Constants

This directory contains constants and protocol definitions used by both the extension and the server.

Syncing with the Extension

Important

Every time this directory is modified, you must run node scripts/build-extension.cjs 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.

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 Events

For the complete and current event list, see the EVENTS object in constants.js. Key events include:

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
