- Add tauri-plugin-updater and tauri-plugin-process for in-app updates
- Rust commands (check_client_update, download_and_install_update) build
updater with dynamic endpoint at runtime for self-hosted compatibility
- Server endpoint GET /api/v1/client-update/{target}/{version} translates
GitHub Releases into Tauri updater JSON format with .sig content
- UpdateNotifier banner component with install/dismiss controls
- CI workflow produces signed .nsis.zip + .sig updater artifacts
- Self-signed TLS support via dangerousAcceptInvalidCerts config
- Add file download with native save dialog (Tauri dialog + fs plugins)
- Make attachment filename clickable as additional download trigger
- Add download button with hover styling to file attachments
- Exempt /api/v1/uploads from global 1MB body size limit (MaxBodySizeUnless)

Server:
- Add POST /api/v1/uploads and GET /api/v1/files/{id} endpoints
- Add CreateAttachment DB method for file upload records
- Allow empty message content when attachments are present
- CORS headers on file serving for WebView2 compatibility
Client — File uploads & attachments:
- Clipboard paste (Ctrl+V) and attach button (+) for file uploads
- Preview bar above input with thumbnail, spinner, and remove button
- Images fetched via Tauri HTTP plugin as base64 data URIs (bypasses
self-signed cert rejection in WebView2)
- Three-layer image cache: memory → IndexedDB → network
- In-flight deduplication prevents duplicate concurrent fetches
- Image lightbox with click-to-zoom, scroll wheel zoom, pan, keyboard shortcuts
Client — URL previews & embeds:
- URLs in messages rendered as clickable links
- YouTube embeds with thumbnail, play button, video title via oEmbed API
- Generic link previews with OG metadata (title, description, image)
- Fetched via Tauri HTTP plugin with Facebook crawler User-Agent
- YouTube title cache and OG metadata cache prevent re-fetch on re-render
- Links open in default browser via tauri-plugin-opener
Client — Voice & audio fixes:
- Mute uses replaceTrack(null) for reliable RTP-level muting in WebView2
- Deafen also mutes mic; undeafen/unmute unmutes both
- Muted users show crossed mic icon, deafened show crossed mic + headphone
- Re-apply mute state after input device switch
Client — UX improvements:
- Disable browser context menu globally (only custom menus show)
- Emoji search now matches by keyword names (smile, heart, fire, etc.)
- Emoji picker closes on click outside
- User bar status text moved below username
- Messages sorted chronologically (oldest first, newest at bottom)
- Scroll to bottom on initial load with deferred retries for layout shifts
- Image attachments constrained to 400x350px with click-to-lightbox
