Synapse allows one presence write per 10 s per user (shared by every
device). The heartbeat wrote presence at startup and on every tab
switch, so a status save right after usually got a 429 and waited 7-25 s,
with the whole status section (quick statuses, input, Clear) locked and
the Save spinner going.
- One shared presence queue (heartbeat + status save), newest write wins:
changes made while a write waits out a 429 replace it, so only the latest
is sent, as soon as the server allows.
- The status UI no longer waits on the server: the status applies locally,
Save switches off (it compared with the server echo, so it stayed lit
and invited a second, guaranteed-429 write), the controls stay usable,
and a short note shows until the write lands.
- The heartbeat skips writes the server already reflects (e.g. "online"
at startup), so it stops spending the budget for nothing.

A search box at the top of the settings sidebar (Ctrl/Cmd+F while settings
are open). Results replace the page list while typing, showing the page and
section; picking one (or Enter for the top result) opens that page, scrolls
to the setting and briefly outlines it. Esc clears.
The index is built from the settings source itself (SettingTile titles and
descriptions, section headers), loaded as raw text in a lazy chunk on first
search, so options added later are found without a hand-kept list.
Desktop-only options only show in the desktop app.

#461 Both link-preview switches move into Privacy. The two overlapping
receipt switches become one choice that maps exactly onto the existing
settings (no migration, every old combination behaves the same):
Everyone / Private read receipts / Hide my activity (also hides typing
and other people's receipts, as "Hide typing and read receipts" did).
#462 Calls & audio is grouped, the same in every mode: Joining,
Microphone and noise, Push to talk and hotkeys, Sounds, Quality,
Soundboard. No setting changed.

#459 General held 76 of ~110 settings (11 screens). Its sections now live
on pages named for what people come to do:
Account, Appearance, Messages (incl. editor, date and time),
Notifications, Calls & audio, Privacy & security (privacy options +
the former Devices page), Data & storage (storage, sync, your data),
Desktop (desktop app only), Emojis & stickers, Advanced (the former
Developer Tools + "show hidden events" / "legacy username colour"),
About.
The longest page is now ~3 screens (Appearance). Settings opens on
Account. Deep links keep working: "devices" lands on Privacy & security,
the old "general" on Appearance, the update notice on Desktop. Text that
pointed at the old page names is updated. The push-rule editor gets one
line explaining the Matrix terms. Remaining Title Case labels on Account
and Devices are sentence case.
#460 Chat background, seasonal theme and avatar decoration grids sit
behind one row: the current choice and a Change button (the first two
close after a choice; decorations keep their Save step).

plainer names ("Hide joins and leaves", "Link previews", "Emoji
style: Twemoji", "Rejoin calls after a restart", "Also use the
browser's noise suppression", "Push-to-talk key"...) and grammar fixes
("when messages arrive", "Play a sound when a new message arrives",
blocked users "Enter their Matrix ID"). Labels only: no setting is
renamed in storage.
- #455 One theme control: Theme: System / Light / Dark. System shows the
light and dark variant pickers, Light or Dark one picker of that kind.
Replaces the System switch plus a Theme dropdown that was greyed out
whenever the switch was on. Uses the existing settings (no migration);
picking a variant also remembers it for System.
- #457 Remove the "Block Messages" stub from Notifications; the GIF
picker row only appears in builds with a GIF key.

Settings -> General -> "Your data": Export writes one JSON file of the
account's Lotus data (synced settings, bookmarks, private notes, room names
and sections, reminders, status presets, thread notification settings,
timed mutes, soundboard (clips stay on the server), emoji packs, avatar
decoration, and this device's settings). Not messages or encryption keys:
they have their own exports, and keys are secret.
Import merges: new items are added; things that differ are listed per
category and kept unless the user picks "Use the file's". Only our own
account-data types are read from a file. Files from a newer Lotus Chat
are refused with a plain message; the version stamp leaves room to
migrate older ones.

Sessions of this account not seen for 90+ days (never the current one; a
session with no last-seen time is left alone) get a nudge in the existing
security strip, after the device-security ones and with the same rules
("Not now" snoozes 7 days, gone after 3 dismissals; a snoozed security
nudge no longer hides it): "You have 3 sessions you haven't used in 3
months. Signing them out keeps your account safe if an old device is
lost." [Review]
Review opens Settings -> Devices with those sessions ticked for sign-out
(one confirm, the usual re-auth incl. SSO); they are listed first and
marked "Inactive for 3+ months". OIDC accounts sign out on the
provider's dashboard, so nothing is ticked there.

Landscape, at most 500px tall, touch input (a sideways phone is ~840px
wide, the Tablet size class, so the trigger is the screen shape), in this
room's joined call, chat closed: the call takes the whole screen. No room
header, sidebar or call-status bar; safe-area insets respected.
- Taps inside the call frame never reach the app, so while the controls
are hidden a transparent layer covers the call: the first tap shows the
call bar plus Chat / Exit full screen, which hide again after 4 s
without a touch; with them up the call underneath stays usable.
- In an Android browser tab the first tap also enters the browser's own
full screen (hides the address bar); left again on rotate back, hang
up or exit. No effect on iPhone or the installed app.
- Exit full screen lasts until the phone is upright again.
- The frame is transparent (room wallpaper), so in full screen it gets an
opaque base colour under the wallpaper.

The fork now checks, before joining (lotusDeviceCheck=1), that the mic /
output the user last picked are plugged in. When one is missing it asks
us (io.lotus.device_missing): "Your usual microphone isn't connected.
Arctis 7 isn't connected. Join with Laptop Mic instead?" [Join anyway]
[Cancel]. Join anyway isn't asked again this session for the same
device(s); Cancel closes the call before it starts. A device lost during
a call is a toast ("Arctis 7 disconnected — now using Laptop Mic").

MSC2931: a widget with m.always_on_screen (auto-granted) can send
set_always_on_screen; the host now answers it, and a widget that asked
keeps running in a small floating window (title, Back to room, close)
when the Widgets panel closes or you switch rooms. Back to room returns
to it with the panel open on that widget, without reloading it.
Moving an iframe reloads it, so widget frames now live in an app-level
layer from the start (widgetSessions.ts) and are positioned over the
panel's placeholder while docked. A widget that did not ask is torn
down as before. One floating widget at a time; it also goes when the
widget withdraws, is removed from the room, or on logout. A permission
request while floating grants nothing extra.

The call-ended toast gets a Details button (and stays 10 s) that opens a
card with who was in the call and the peak, connection verdict and
reconnects, how long your / each person's / everyone's connection was
poor (likely the server when everyone), RTT, packet loss and jitter, and
your talk, mute, deafen and screenshare time, in technical wording.
Deafened time is tracked by CallEmbed; the rest comes from the fork's new
io.lotus.call_summary `details` (lotus.29). Settings → Calls gets
"Summary After Calls" (on by default).

It opens the same filled-in URL the frame uses (widgetCompleteUrl, now

cross-origin https URLs get the button: room state can carry anything,

Long-press opens the message action sheet (#166), but on iOS the system
takes a long-press for itself: the link/image callout or the text-selection
loupe races the 450 ms press. Message rows on touch screens now carry
data-touch-actions (no -webkit-touch-callout), and the pressed row carries
data-pressing from touch-down until the finger lifts, which turns text
selection off for that moment only. Copy Text stays in the sheet.

#265: in the compact layout (phones, narrow windows) the control bar
stacked into four rows (~330px, 40% of a portrait phone). It is now one
row: mic, deafen, camera, chat, soundboard, More and an icon-only End.
Screenshare, its audio mute and fullscreen move into More; Share Screen
is only offered where getDisplayMedia exists. (The self-view comes from
the fork, lotus.27.)
#277: "Mute Screenshare Audio" showed whenever screensharing was allowed,
as a speaker icon that did nothing. It now shows while the fork reports
remote screenshare audio (io.lotus.screenshare_audio_state), or while it
is muted, so a hidden mute cannot silence the next share.

The topic editor's hand-rolled markdown treated any single _ or * as
emphasis, inside URLs and #alias:server / @user:server too, and built the
plain topic by stripping tags, so the underscores were lost for every
client. It also left " unescaped in link targets.
buildTopicContent() now uses the composer's inline markdown parser (links,
bare URLs and HTML escaping as for messages) and treats _ between two
letters/digits as literal (CommonMark), except inside code, link targets
and URLs. The plain topic drops the markers but keeps links as
"text (url)" and decodes entities.

The Server ACL editor treated an absent allow_ip_literals as false, so the
first save in a room with no ACL (or one omitting the field) silently banned
IP-literal servers. The spec default is true. normalizeServerAcl() fills the
spec defaults once and feeds the initial state, the dirty check and the save.
It also stops showing an existing ACL with no allow list as allow-all: per
spec that allows no servers, and the /acl command already keeps it as-is.
The checkbox is driven by onClick (folds has no onChange), now readOnly so
React stops warning about a checked input without onChange.

DND was sent as presence unavailable with the literal status text
"dnd": it replaced your status, and other clients showed "dnd". Where
the server supports MSC3026 (busy_presence), DND now sends presence
org.matrix.msc3026.busy and leaves the status alone (Synapse keeps
busy across /sync set_presence=online). Busy renders as red "Do Not
Disturb" with the real status line; the legacy unavailable + "dnd"
encoding is still recognised and still used on servers without it.
Status saves / clears no longer downgrade busy. The SDK rejects
non-spec presences, so busy goes through a direct authed PUT.
