- LOTUS_FEATURES.md: full reference of every custom Lotus feature with
implementation details, file paths, and API notes
- LOTUS_BUGS.md: audit of confirmed bugs with root causes and fixes
- LOTUS_TODO_REFERENCE.md: technical implementation notes for backlog items
- LOTUS_TODO.md: trim completed audit results section, link to FEATURES doc
- README.md: rewrite to marketing-friendly feature list format; fix
incorrect claim that screenshare auto-reverts view to grid (removed)
Fix: auto-revert spotlight on screenshare was removed (600ms grid-click
caused fullscreen to show avatars); corrected in LOTUS_FEATURES.md and
removed from README.md.

Mark P5-4 (animated chat backgrounds) complete with implementation
notes. Update README Settings section with animated backgrounds entry
and correct glassmorphism description (now explains the body-background
fix that makes backdrop-filter actually visible).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Settings → Appearance: "Glassmorphism Sidebar" toggle (off by default).
When enabled, applies backdrop-filter: blur(12px) and a semi-transparent
background to the left sidebar so chat background patterns show through.
SidebarGlass vanilla-extract class in Sidebar.css.ts; wired in
SidebarNav.tsx via classNames conditional.

P5-18: PresenceRingAvatar wrapper component applies a 2px box-shadow
ring to user avatars — green (online), yellow (idle/unavailable), red
(DND via status_msg='dnd'), no ring (offline). Applied to: message
timeline sender avatars, members drawer (members + knock requests),
@mention autocomplete, and inbox notification senders.
P5-6: Leading emoji in room names renders at 1.15× in the sidebar via
Unicode emoji regex detection in RoomNavItem. Emoji picker (EmojiBoard
in PopOut) added to all three room-name inputs: Create Room dialog
(converted to controlled input), Room Settings name field (shown only
when canEditName), and the "Rename for me" local rename dialog.

P5-17: MessageQuickReactions moved from 3-dots menu to hover toolbar;
shows 5 recent emoji directly on hover. Clicking a quick-reaction also
closes any open emoji picker (setEmojiBoardAnchor). Line separator
removed from component.
P5-7: LotusToastContainer slides in from bottom-right when window is
focused — replaces OS notification for in-focus events. Correct room
path (DM vs home) derived from mDirectAtom. Invite toast routes to
inbox. 4s auto-dismiss. Full TDS styling via CSS custom properties.
P5-8: Confirmed already implemented upstream (MentionHighlightPulse,
0.6s scale+glow, one-shot, prefers-reduced-motion). Marked complete.
Code-review fixes: toast navigation used nonexistent /room/ route;
emoji picker stayed open after toolbar quick-reaction.

New findings:
- Service worker EXISTS at src/sw.ts — task #95 just needs notificationclick handler
- Highlight animation EXISTS in layout.css.ts:44-66 — task #81 just wires it to @mentions
- CallControl.toggleSound() EXISTS — task #100 push-to-deafen trivial
- Sanitizer strips <math>/<mml> — task #56 needs sanitizer changes too
- Folds uses vanilla-extract not CSS vars in non-TDS — task #74 needs theme variant
- Cinny cannot inject audio into EC stream — task #88 redesigned as local-only soundboard
- Policy list code: zero existing code, completely additive
- Notification dispatch: only 2 code points — task #12 is 4-line addition
- Upload preview: UploadCardRenderer.tsx:19-98 — task #36 insertion point found
- Room stats cache limited to ~80 events — task #45 must label clearly
- MSC3489/3672 live location: BLOCKED on server
- Profile banner: DROPPED — not in matrix-js-sdk or any Matrix standard
Server checks:
- /.well-known/matrix/support: 404 (needs server-side file creation)
- MSC3489 live location: false → task #64 added to BLOCKED section
- preview_url: requires auth (endpoint exists, works with user token)
Stale [AUDIT REQUIRED] tags scrubbed from P0 section.
All upstream-confirmed items removed or marked clearly.
Architecture reference table expanded with 15 new confirmed facts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Key findings:
- Jump to Date (task #7): DELETED — JumpToTime.tsx fully implemented upstream,
wired in RoomViewHeader.tsx:215
- useUnverifiedDeviceCount() hook EXISTS (useDeviceVerificationStatus.ts:65) —
task #65 is trivial
- useCallMembersChange() hook (useCall.ts:37-52) handles join/leave sounds
via MatrixRTCSessionEvent.MembershipsChanged — correct approach for #89
- MessageQuickReactions already in hover toolbar (Message.tsx:146-184) — #92
simpler than expected
- knockSupported() utility exists (matrix.ts:376) — #58 only needs RoomIntro button
- StateEventEditor in DevTools can already edit m.room.server_acl — #69 is a UX wrapper
- getMatrixToRoom() in matrix-to.ts already generates invite URLs — #24 just needs QR
- Glassmorphism: sidebar container safe for backdrop-filter (translateX only on items)
- Animated backgrounds: must use ::before pseudo-element, not backgroundImage
- matrix-js-sdk has no arbitrary profile field setters — #62 needs raw HTTP
- Toast system: build from scratch, insert at App.tsx:65 after OverlayContainerProvider
- JetBrains Mono already loaded via Google Fonts CDN in index.html:33
- MSC4151 report room endpoint confirmed live (405 on GET = POST-only endpoint exists)
- /.well-known/matrix/support not configured — needs server file creation + client reads
Full file reference table added with 30+ key file paths for all planned features.
Corrected 5 previously wrong architecture assumptions.

Server findings:
- Synapse 1.153.0 is FULLY UP TO DATE (latest as of 2026-05-19)
- MSC4140 (scheduled msgs), MSC3771 (thread receipts), MSC4133 (extended profiles)
all CONFIRMED supported via unstable_features flags
- MSC3892 (reaction redaction), MSC3266 (room summary) BLOCKED — not supported
- MSC4306 (thread subscriptions) BLOCKED — not supported
Upstream Cinny confirms (removed from build queue):
- Back to Latest button (RoomTimeline.tsx:2180), Mark rooms as read (Home.tsx:73),
Tombstone/upgrade banner (RoomTombstone.tsx), Speaking indicator (useCallSpeakers.ts),
Spoiler rendering (ImageContent/VideoContent — blur+click-reveal), Report message
Architecture facts documented:
- AvatarImage child constraint (no children — wrap externally)
- Sidebar translateX blocks backdrop-filter
- EC bridge: no participant events (use m.call.member state events instead)
- No in-app toast system (must build from scratch)
- Voice player at AudioContent.tsx:44, notification sounds hardcoded in ClientNonUIFeatures
