* chore(format): one Prettier config at the repository root Every formatting rule in this repository lived under Client/ and covered exactly two globs: Client/src/**/*.ts and Client/tests/**/*.ts. Root Markdown, all of docs/, every YAML and JSON, all CSS, the root scripts and tools/mcp-introspect were formatted by nothing. There was no .editorconfig. The obvious fix -- a second Prettier config at the root for "everything else" -- gives two configs and two ignore files that can silently disagree about the same file. So the root takes ownership instead: config, ignore file and gate move up, and Client/ folds in. Client's inline "prettier" block, its .prettierignore, its format/format:check scripts and its now-unused prettier devDependency are all deleted; knip would have failed client-check on that last one. The .prettierrc.json values are lifted byte-for-byte from Client/package.json, which is what keeps the reformat commit free of client TypeScript churn: 87 tracked files need reformatting and not one of them is under Client/src or Client/tests. .prettierignore carries only what .gitignore does not. Prettier 3 reads the root .gitignore by default, so node_modules/, dist/, coverage/, Client/src/generated/ and docs/security-findings/ need no entry. It does NOT read nested .gitignore files, which is why .remember/ is listed explicitly -- 38 untracked per-machine scratch files were otherwise able to turn a shared gate red. graphify-out/ is listed because its seven files are tracked and .graphify_labels.json is signed byte-for-byte by its .sig, so formatting it would silently invalidate the signature. check:hygiene is registered in scripts/run.mjs and folded into check and release:preflight. It deliberately contains no `gofmt -l` step: gofmt -l prints offenders and still exits 0, so it cannot fail a build. Go formatting is enforced separately. shellcheck and actionlint take their file lists from `git ls-files`, never a filesystem glob -- .claude/worktrees/ holds a gitignored pre-flatten copy of the tree with three .sh files a glob would happily lint. This commit leaves the tree non-conformant on purpose. The reformat is the next commit, so the 87-file diff is reviewable separately from the rule that caused it. Not included: editorconfig-checker. .editorconfig is the editor baseline the audit asked for; Prettier, gofmt and rustfmt already fail CI on the same indentation and newline rules, so a fourth tool checking them again is a gate with no failure mode of its own. Verified: `npx prettier --check .` names 87 tracked files and zero untracked ones; the same command listed 38 .remember/ scratch files before the ignore entry and none after. `node scripts/run.mjs --list` resolves check:hygiene to 8 shell targets and 4 workflow targets. Both package.json files parse. Refs RL-19 / L-13, S-05. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(format): reformat the tree to the repository Prettier rules Mechanical. This commit is `npx prettier --write .` and nothing else -- the rule that caused it landed in the previous commit so this diff can be reviewed as a transformation rather than as 84 files of hunks. 84 tracked files: 54 Markdown, 7 .mjs, 7 JSON, 6 YAML, 4 .js, 3 CSS, 2 TypeScript (the two Playwright configs at Client's root, which the old Client/src + Client/tests globs never covered). No file under Client/src or Client/tests moves, because .prettierrc.json carries Client's former inline values byte-for-byte. Prettier rewrote 87 files, not 84. The three in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ had CRLF on disk and differ only in line endings, which .gitattributes (`* text=auto eol=lf`) already normalises, so their committed blobs are unchanged. Worth knowing before someone reconciles the two numbers. The largest single diff is .superpowers/findings-ledger.json at 7976 lines rewritten. That is safe to format: nothing writes the ledger programmatically -- render-ledger.mjs reads it and writes only FINDINGS.md -- so no tool will fight Prettier over its style on the next hunt. FINDINGS.md itself is ignored as generated. Verified: `npx prettier --check .` reports "All matched files use Prettier code style", so the pass is both complete and idempotent. All 7 reformatted JSON files were parsed before and after and compared as values: semantically identical, zero content changes. `node .superpowers/render-ledger.mjs --check` still reports 348 valid findings and leaves FINDINGS.md untouched. `node scripts/check-doc-counts.mjs` still passes its selftest and still agrees on 27 claims across 9 watched documents -- table realignment did not break the patterns it matches on. `node scripts/run.mjs --list` still parses. Refs RL-19 / L-13, S-05. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(lint): enforce Go formatting in the Server linter S-05: repository-wide Go formatting was not a required gate. The only gofmt enforcement anywhere was .githooks/pre-commit, which is opt-in per clone (`npm run hooks:install`), only sees staged files, and warns-and-skips when gofmt is off PATH. The obvious fix -- a `gofmt -l` step in CI -- does not work: `gofmt -l` prints its offenders and still exits 0, so the step passes no matter what it finds. scripts/run.mjs has the same problem, which is why check:hygiene has no Go step either. So gofmt goes where it can actually fail something: Server/.golangci.yml. The file was already `version: "2"` but had no `formatters:` block at all, so the 19 enabled linters ran with zero formatters. In v2 gofmt/gofumpt/goimports moved out of `linters.enable` into their own section with its own exclusions. Adding it there means the gate reports through the Lint step of "Server Build & Test", which is already pinned as required on dev -- no new job and no new pin. Every tracked .go file is under Server/ (551 of them, one go.mod), so Server-scoped is repository-wide here. One file was genuinely misformatted: a one-space struct field alignment in Server/admin/handlers_users_broadcast_test.go, fixed in the same commit because a single line does not need its own reformat commit. Trap worth recording: `gofmt -l .` on a Windows working tree lists every file that has CRLF on disk, because gofmt normalises line endings. That reported 18 offenders here, 17 of them ghosts. The blobs are all LF -- .gitattributes forces `eol=lf` -- so CI never saw them, and the honest test is to run gofmt over `git show HEAD:<file>` rather than the working copy. Doing that across all 551 tracked Go files found exactly the one real offender above. Verified both directions with golangci-lint v2 locally: `golangci-lint run ./...` reports 0 issues on the formatted tree; appending a misformatted function to Server/auth/constants.go produces 2 gofmt findings; appending the same misformatted function to Server/db/dbgen/admin.sql.go produces 0, so the exclusion holds. Both files restored and verified clean afterwards. Refs RL-19 / L-13, S-05. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripts): escape the NUL separator instead of embedding one The `tracked()` helper added earlier in this branch splits `git ls-files -z` output on NUL. The separator was written as a literal NUL byte rather than the two-character JavaScript escape, so scripts/run.mjs became a binary file: `git diff` refused to show it, `grep` reported "Binary file matches" instead of the line, and `* text=auto` in .gitattributes stops normalising line endings for a blob it detects as binary. The code worked -- splitting on a raw NUL and splitting on "\0" are the same operation -- which is exactly why this is worth fixing before it is inherited. A source file that tooling classifies as binary is a file nobody can review. Verified: zero NUL bytes remain, `grep -n "split("` now prints line 50 instead of "Binary file matches", `node scripts/run.mjs --list` still resolves the same 8 shell and 4 workflow targets, and prettier still reports the file clean. * chore(lint): enforce Rust formatting Rust had no formatting gate of any kind: no rustfmt.toml, no `cargo fmt` anywhere in CI, in scripts/run.mjs, in the Makefile or in the git hooks. Clippy was the only Rust gate, and clippy does not check layout. `cargo fmt --all -- --check` now runs in the rust-tests job, ahead of clippy: a formatting failure is cheap to produce and cheap to fix, and there is no reason to spend a clippy pass to surface one. The stable toolchain in that job requested `components: clippy` only, so rustfmt is added there. Only that job. ci.yml has a second, byte-identical `Install Rust` block in tauri-build; it stays clippy-only, because a full desktop build is the wrong place to discover a misplaced brace. No rustfmt.toml. The default profile is the point of a baseline -- a config file here would be a second opinion about style with nothing to say. Client/src-tauri is a single `[package]`, not a workspace, so `--all` is a safeguard against a future member rather than a fan-out today. Verified: `node scripts/run.mjs --list` resolves check:rust to three steps with `cargo fmt --all -- --check` first, `npm run format` now also runs `cargo fmt --all`, and prettier reports ci.yml, run.mjs and the ci-check skill clean. `cargo fmt --all -- --check` currently fails on 13 files -- that is the reformat, and it is the next commit. Refs RL-19 / L-13. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(format): reformat the Rust crate to rustfmt defaults Mechanical. This commit is `cargo fmt --all` and nothing else; the gate that demands it landed in the previous commit so this diff is reviewable on its own. 13 of the 17 tracked .rs files, +343/-164. The crate had never been formatted, so the changes are the usual first-run set: aligned trailing comments collapsed to single spaces, single-element slice literals folded onto one line, long method chains broken across lines, closure bodies expanded into blocks. Verified: `cargo fmt --all -- --check` is clean, so the pass is complete and idempotent. `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` finishes with no warnings, and `cargo test --lib` reports 115 passed / 0 failed -- identical to before the reformat, which is what "mechanical" has to mean for a commit that touches this much of the crate. Refs RL-19 / L-13. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripts): make the root facade actually run on Windows Adding the first gate that a contributor would run from the repository root exposed two bugs in the facade, both of which made it silently wrong on the platform this project is developed on. 1. Every npm and npx step failed. bin() appends `.cmd` on Windows, but Node refuses to spawn a .cmd or .bat with shell:false -- the CVE-2024-27980 mitigation -- and fails with EINVAL and a *null* exit status. run.mjs only special-cased ENOENT, so the result was `FAILED: npx prettier --check . exited null` with nothing to explain it. check:client has three npm steps and has never been able to run here. Fixed by spawning only the npm shims through a shell. They are concatenated into a single command string rather than passed as an args array, because shell:true plus a separate array is deprecated (DEP0190) and prints a warning on every invocation; no argument in this file contains a space. 2. Every optional() step was skipped, always. onPath() shelled out to `where` on Windows, but where.exe lives in C:\WINDOWS\System32, which a Git Bash PATH does not necessarily contain -- on this machine PATH carries System32\Wbem, System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 and System32\OpenSSH but not System32 itself. The probe could not start, `probe.status === 0` was false, and golangci-lint and sqlc reported as "not installed" while installed. Fixed by resolving against PATH and PATHEXT directly. No subprocess, and no dependency on which directories happen to be on PATH. A spawn error other than ENOENT now reports its code instead of surfacing as a null exit status. Verified: before, `node scripts/run.mjs check:hygiene` died with "exited null" and both optional steps printed SKIP with the tools present on PATH. After, the same command runs prettier, shellcheck and actionlint and prints "check:hygiene: passed", with no deprecation warning. `golangci-lint` is detected by the new onPath where the old one missed it. Refs RL-20 / L-14. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(format): ignore build output that nested gitignores hide Prettier honours the root .gitignore and no other. Every build and scratch directory in this repository is ignored by a *nested* one -- Client/.gitignore, .serena/.gitignore, .superpowers/sdd/.gitignore -- so none of them were excluded from the new repository-wide gate. The effect is not subtle. Running `cargo test` once drops roughly 850 formattable files into Client/src-tauri/target/, and the hygiene gate goes from clean to "Code style issues found in 939 files". CI never sees it, because a fresh checkout has no build output; every contributor sees it on their second command. Mirrors the three nested files rather than inventing a list: dist, coverage, playwright-report, test-results, .vite, src-tauri/target and src-tauri/gen from Client/.gitignore, plus .serena/ and .superpowers/sdd/. node_modules needs no entry -- Prettier ignores it by default. Verified: `npx prettier --check .` reports "All matched files use Prettier code style" with a fully populated Client/src-tauri/target/ present on disk, and still names README.md when a misformatted table is appended to it. Refs RL-19 / L-13. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(ci): shellcheck, actionlint, and a repository hygiene job The last two gates RL-19 asks for. Neither existed: the shell scripts were never linted, the workflows were never syntax-checked, and .githooks/pre-commit carried hand-written `# shellcheck disable=` directives that nothing had ever read. New `hygiene` job, ubuntu-only and root-scoped, modelled on docs-consistency for the same reason: every gate in it is platform-independent text analysis, and .gitattributes pins eol=lf so a second OS would only re-prove line endings. It runs `npm run check:hygiene` -- the same entry point a contributor runs, not a parallel copy of the commands. shellcheck ships in the runner image. actionlint does not, so it is pinned by version and verified by sha256: an installer script piped from a branch would be the one unverified download in a workflow file that pins every action by commit SHA. Prettier's step moves here from client-check, where it no longer belongs. Both linters found real defects. shellcheck, 3 findings in 8 scripts. Two are SC1125 errors in .githooks/pre-commit: `# shellcheck disable=SC2086 - repo paths contain no spaces` is not a valid directive. Trailing prose makes shellcheck discard the rest of the line, so neither suppression was ever in effect -- and one of the two was written earlier in this same branch, which is a fair demonstration of why the gate is worth having. The prose moves to its own line above. The third is SC2015 in start-server.sh, rewritten as an explicit if. actionlint, 5 findings, all inside `run:` blocks it shellchecks once shellcheck is on PATH. Three SC2015 in load-baseline.yml, rewritten as explicit ifs. Two SC2035 in release.yml, where `sha256sum *` should not become `sha256sum ./*`: the comment four lines above records that ParseChecksumFile exact-matches the last field, so a "./" prefix would strand every deployed server exactly as a "windows/" prefix would. `sha256sum -- *` satisfies the linter and leaves the output bytes identical. Verified all three gates in both directions with shellcheck 0.10.0 and actionlint 1.7.7 on PATH. Passing: `node scripts/run.mjs check:hygiene` prints "check:hygiene: passed" with all three steps run, not skipped. Failing: appending `bait_fn() { cat $1; }` to Server/scripts/voice-test.sh fails on SC2086; changing a runs-on to `ubunt-latest` fails on runner-label; appending a misformatted table to README.md fails prettier. All three files restored and confirmed clean afterwards. actionlint validates the new job in ci.yml itself. Refs RL-19 / L-13, S-05. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(plans): record B1 progress through B1-3 The header still read "B1-0 is complete; B1-1 is the next step" three merged phases later. A plan that misstates where it is costs a reader the same confusion whether it is stale by one phase or three. B1-0 (#1410), B1-1 (#1411), B1-2 (#1412) and B1-3 (this branch) are done; B1-4, dependency automation, is next. Verified: `node scripts/check-doc-counts.mjs` still agrees on 27 claims across 9 watched documents -- this file is one of them -- and prettier reports it clean. * chore(ci): pin Repository Hygiene as a required check on dev The second half of S-05. Its acceptance criterion is "tree is formatted AND a fast required gate fails future drift" -- a check that runs but is not pinned lets a formatting regression merge, so the gate is not a gate until this lands. The name was read off PR #1414 with `gh pr checks` after the job reported `pass` in 26s, not copied out of ci.yml. That order matters: the B0 script records that three pinned names exist in no workflow file at all, and that a required check which never reports blocks every PR forever. Extends the existing script rather than adding a second one, per the B1 plan. Also records, in the "deliberately NOT pinned" list, that Docs & Ledger Consistency reports and passes on a dev PR yet is unpinned. That reads as an oversight from the 2026-08-25 pass rather than a decision, but it belongs to G-04, so it is documented here and not changed. NOT APPLIED YET. Running this script now would pin a check that PR #1413 cannot report -- its branch predates the hygiene job, so the job does not exist in its workflow file and the check would never arrive. Run it after #1414 merges; #1413 needs a rebase onto dev regardless. Verified: shellcheck clean, the embedded JSON parses, and `check:hygiene` passes with prettier, shellcheck and actionlint all running. Refs S-05, RL-14 / G-03.

OwnCord Client UX Specification (target state)
Verified against: commit 5630aa1, 2026-08-04
Companion: ../client.md (structural module map) · ../../audit-2026-08-04-docs-and-coverage.md
This directory specifies how the Tauri client should behave — what every UI
step does, and how each view reacts to server events, permission state, and
failure. Unlike client.md, which maps the code as-built, these
documents are prescriptive (to-be): they describe the intended target UX.
Where today's code diverges, each flow carries a ⚠ Current gap callout — so
this set doubles as a UX improvement backlog. Gaps are grounded in real
file:line references from the client.
Scope. This is a behavior spec, not a visual design spec. It defines states, transitions, events, and reactions — not pixel layout, spacing, or color. Those live in
src/styles/tokens.cssand the component CSS.
Documents
| Doc | Covers |
|---|---|
| connection-and-auth.md | App boot, server profiles, connect/health, login, TOTP, register-by-invite, the connected handshake, reconnect, and cert-TOFU trust prompts |

| settings-and-admin.md | Settings tabs, profile/password/2FA/delete-account, appearance/theming, the inline admin surface (ban/kick/roles, channel CRUD, invites), and the updater |
The cross-cutting vocabulary and global reaction matrices below apply to every document; the per-flow docs reference them rather than repeating them.
1. View-state vocabulary
Every data-bearing view must be able to represent each of these states and must choose a defined presentation for each (a view may legitimately collapse some — e.g. a view that can never be empty — but that must be a decision, not an omission):
| State | Meaning | Default presentation |
|---|---|---|
loading |
A fetch/subscription is in flight and no cached data is shown yet | Skeleton or inline spinner in the view's own region — never a full-screen blocker except the initial connected handshake |
ready |
Data present and current | The normal view |
empty |
Fetch succeeded, zero items | A labelled empty state with a one-line "what goes here / what to do next" hint |
error |
Fetch/action failed | Inline error with a Retry affordance for recoverable errors; a toast only for fire-and-forget actions |
stale |
Data shown but known out of date (e.g. during reconnect) | The normal view plus a non-blocking status hint (connection banner); interactions that require a live socket are disabled with a reason |
permission-denied |
The user may see the view but not act | The view renders read-only; the disallowed control is disabled with a visible reason, never hidden silently and never enabled-then-rejected |
offline |
No live socket | Live-only controls disabled with the connection status surfaced |
Principle — no silent states. Every terminal outcome (success, empty, failure, denial) produces some observable feedback. A control that will be rejected by the server must be pre-disabled with a reason; an action that succeeds without a visible result must emit a confirmation.
2. Feedback primitives
The client has a fixed set of feedback surfaces. Each has one job; pick by the decision table, don't improvise.
| Primitive | Source | Use for | Do not use for |
|---|---|---|---|
Toast (info/success/error, 5 s auto-dismiss, max 5) |
lib/toast.ts → components/Toast.ts |
Transient results of an explicit user action (sent, copied, saved, "couldn't reach server") | Anything the user must act on; anything that must survive navigation |
| Inline field error | per-form | Validation and per-field server rejections (bad password, weak input) | Global/connection state |
| Inline section error + Retry | per-view | A failed load of a view's own data (messages, invites, pins) | One-shot actions (use a toast) |
| Persistent banner | components/ServerBanner.ts (reconnect/restart), ad-hoc cert banner |
Connection status: reconnecting, server-restart countdown, first-trust cert notice | Per-action results |
| Blocking modal | lib/modalFactory.ts (+ CertMismatchModal) |
Decisions that must be made before proceeding: cert mismatch, destructive confirm | Routine feedback; anything dismissable-by-ignoring |
| Two-click / inline confirm | AdminActions.ts withConfirmation, PendingDeleteManager |
Reversible-ish destructive actions in dense menus (kick, ban, delete channel, delete message) | Irreversible account-level actions (use a modal with typed confirm) |
| Disabled control + reason | per-control | Actions not currently permitted (offline, no permission, slow-mode cooldown, upload in flight) | Errors that already happened |
Transient-error store (ui.store.setTransientError) |
survives navigation | A message that must appear on the connect page after a forced disconnect (banned, kicked, restart) | In-session messaging (use a toast) |
3. Connection status is a first-class, observable state
Every live-only interaction keys off one connection status. Target: a single
source of truth in ui.store.connectionStatus
(connected | reconnecting | disconnected), written from the WS client's
onStateChange, and read by any control that needs a live socket.
✓ Implemented (2026-07).
ui.store.connectionStatusis now the single source of truth:main.tscallswireConnectionStatus(ws), whose writer lives inlib/dispatcher.ts(ws.onStateChange→toConnectionStatus→setConnectionStatus), mapping the internal 5-state machine onto the 3-state status (connecting/authenticatingread asreconnecting, since a reconnect cycle passes through them). Consumers subscribe to the store instead of wiring ad-hoc callbacks: the reconnect banner (MainPage, synced at mount and now also showing "Disconnected" instead of going stale), the composer gating (ChannelController, "Reconnecting…" / "Not connected" per the table), and the presence picker (UserBar— previously dead in production becauseSidebarAreanever passed it aws; it now gates on the store and receives thewssend path). The one-shot connected-overlay wiring inmain.tsstays onws.onStateChangedeliberately — it needs the exact internal transition. The voice column is now wired too: the VoiceWidget freezes its in-call controls (disabled + a "Reconnecting…" / "Not connected" reason) whileconnectionStatus !== "connected", and the join affordance itself — the voice-channel row in theChannelSidebar— takes the same disabled-with-reason state (.disabledclass,aria-disabled, a "Reconnecting…" / "Not connected" title) and its click becomes a no-op, so joining/leaving is visibly gated, not a silent dead click. The join/leave callbacks (VoiceCallbacks.ts) still refuse to firevoice_join/voice_leaveover a down socket as a defensive backstop. LiveKit's own reconnection keeps retrying underneath — only the UI is gated, never LiveKit's machinery.
| Status | Composer / send | Voice controls | Presence picker | Reconnect banner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
connected |
enabled | enabled | enabled | hidden |
reconnecting |
disabled, "Reconnecting…" | frozen, retrying underneath | disabled | visible, spinner |
disconnected |
disabled | torn down | disabled | visible or → connect page on fatal |
4. Global event → reaction map
The dispatcher (src/lib/dispatcher.ts) is the single fan-in from the socket to
the stores. Target: every inbound message type produces a defined store
mutation and, where user-visible, a defined UI reaction. The per-flow docs
detail each; this is the index.
| Inbound event | Store effect | Target UI reaction |
|---|---|---|
auth_ok |
auth.setAuth |
Advance handshake → ready overlay |
auth_error |
ui.setTransientError + auth.clearAuth |
Return to connect page with the reason shown |

Map the code → the reaction in §5 |
call_incoming / call_declined are deliberately not routed through the
dispatcher: MainPage.ts subscribes to them directly (page-scoped listeners)
and drives the ring state machine in lib/call-ring.ts +
components/IncomingCallBanner.ts.
✓ Implemented (2026-07). Error codes are no longer silently dropped for sends: the server echoes the request id on error replies, so
SLOW_MODE,FORBIDDEN,RATE_LIMITED,BAD_REQUEST, etc. are mapped to the exact optimistic row that failed (retry offered), andchat_send_ok'smessage_id/timestampnow reconcile the pending row. See the optimistic lifecycle in messaging.md.
5. Error & permission reaction matrix
One canonical reaction per failure class, applied everywhere. Today error
handling is per-call-site with no shared mapper (doFetch() in lib/api.ts centralizes only
401); this matrix is the target contract.
| Class | Source | Target reaction |
|---|---|---|
| 401 Unauthorized | any REST call | Global: clearAuth() → disconnect → connect page, with "Your session expired — sign in again." (centralized in api.ts + main.ts; since 2026-07 uploadFile honors it too, and the connect page shows the session-expired reason) |
| 403 Forbidden (action) | REST/WS | Toast "You don't have permission to do that." and pre-disable the control so it can't be attempted again in that context |
| 403 Suspended/Banned | login REST / WS BANNED |
Transient-error store → connect page: "Your account has been suspended." Force logout, no reconnect |
| 429 Rate-limited | REST/WS RATE_LIMITED |
Non-destructive toast "You're doing that too fast — try again in a moment." Keep the user's input; re-enable the control after a short cooldown |
| Slow-mode | WS SLOW_MODE |
Disable send with a live countdown in the composer; do not drop the drafted message |
| Validation (400) | REST | Inline field error with the server message (capped to a safe length — the login form caps at 200 chars in the handleFormSubmit() catch block, pages/connect-page/LoginForm.ts; apply everywhere) |
| Conflict/Not-found (404/409) | REST/WS | Contextual inline message + refresh the affected view (the target moved/vanished) |
| 5xx / network | REST | Inline section error + Retry; for one-shot actions, a toast "Couldn't reach the server." Never a silent drop |
| Transport backpressure | WS ws_send "channel full" |
Mark the optimistic row failed with Retry (✓ since 2026-07: ws.onSendFailure → dispatcher → markSendFailed with NETWORK/OFFLINE; id-less sends like heartbeats stay silent) |
| Cert first-use | Rust cert-tofu: first_use |
Blocking trust modal (createCertFirstUseModal): the Rust proxy rejects the first connection rather than auto-pinning; Accept stores the pin and retries, Cancel leaves the server untrusted (already: the ws.onCertFirstUse(...) handler in main.ts) |
| Cert mismatch | Rust cert-tofu: mismatch |
Blocking CertMismatchModal; Accept re-pins + reconnects, Reject disconnects + returns to connect (already: the ws.onCertMismatch(...) handler in main.ts) |
6. Cross-cutting principles
- Optimistic where the user acts, authoritative where the server decides. Local actions (send, react, mute) reflect immediately with a pending marker, then reconcile against the server echo; on failure they roll back visibly with a retry — never silently.
- Permission is expressed as affordance, not as rejection. If the server will refuse, the client disables the control with a reason first. The announcement-channel composer is the canonical example (see messaging.md).
- Connection state gates live controls reactively (§3), not per-click.
- One reaction per failure class (§5), applied uniformly.
- No silent success and no silent failure (§1).
Maintenance rule
Same as the blueprint set: if a PR changes a client flow, event handler, or the
set of states a view must represent, it updates the corresponding UX doc in the
same change. These specs reference stable identifiers (event-type strings, store
action names, component names) over line numbers; the file:line anchors in the
gap callouts are point-in-time and dated by the header.
