The first time the window is closed, a dialog asks "Keep Lotus Chat
running?" — Keep running in the tray (default, focused) / Quit when I
close the window — with an opt-in "Start Lotus Chat when I sign in"
checkbox in the same moment (per the approved design: one dialog, no
wizard). The choice is saved natively; Settings → General → "When I
close the window" changes it later (tray / quit / ask me).
The dialog is role="dialog" aria-modal, labelled and described, with
focus on the default button. Web-side flow verified with a stubbed
native side: event → dialog → checkbox + Quit sends autostart enable +
resolve_close_request("quit"); the Settings select saves "tray".

The "N replies · <time>" chip under a thread root was named only by its
visible text, so a screen reader never said it opens the thread, and the
unread dot / muted bell were visual-only. Its accessible name is now the
visible text first (WCAG 2.5.3) plus "view thread", "unread replies" and
"muted" as applicable, e.g. "1 reply · 12:16 PM, view thread".

The logo sat on a pure-black (#000) square inside the icon's #0A0A0A
background, so the adaptive (circle/squircle) home-screen icon showed a
faint square around the logo — the "floating in an odd box" the
checklist warns about. Recoloured that backing square to the background.
Checked: both icons load in production (200, image/png); the logo's
furthest pixel is 29 % of the width from centre (Android safe zone: 40 %),
corners opaque — so no clipping in any launcher mask.

- Skip link: following #main-content left focus on <body> (the <main>
target wasn't focusable), so nothing was announced and the URL got a
stray fragment. <main> is now tabIndex=-1 and the link focuses it.
- Keyboard-shortcuts dialog (?): no role, and focus stayed in the
timeline, so it opened silently. Now role="dialog" aria-modal, and focus
moves into it (Escape still returns focus to where you were).
- Reaction viewer (both the reaction context-menu path and "View
Reactions"): same — role="dialog" aria-modal aria-label="Reactions",
focus moves in.
Keyboard-only checks (Playwright): Tab → skip link → Enter focuses
<main>; Tab reaches the room list, Enter opens a room, typing lands in the
composer, Enter sends (verified on the server); focus ring visible. "?"
opens the dialog with focus inside, Escape returns to the same element,
"?" in the composer stays text. Topic viewer, Search dialog and reaction
viewer all return focus to their opener.

The call-bar and status-bar toggles change their label with the state
("Deafen"/"Undeafen", "Turn off/on microphone", "Start/Stop Video", …)
AND set aria-pressed, which made screen readers say "Deafen, pressed"
while you were not deafened, and gave mic/screenshare a pressed state in
one bar but not the other. Per the ARIA practice, a toggle uses either a
changing action label or aria-pressed with a fixed label; these use the
former, so aria-pressed is removed from all nine.
Checked in a live call: every control now announces only its action, in
both states (deafen → "Undeafen", mic → "Turn on microphone", …).

The full-screen incoming-call overlay (shown when you're not already in a
call — the common case) had no role or accessible name on any ancestor of
its buttons, so a screen reader landed on an unlabelled button with no
hint that a call was ringing. The in-call banner variant already had
role="alert" + a label. The overlay's Dialog is now role="alertdialog",
aria-modal, labelled "Incoming voice|video call from <caller>".
Found while verifying #187 DP6 (decline still dismisses when the decline
send fails — it does).

Status messages are saved per device and re-sent with every presence
heartbeat (a presence write without status_msg clears it on Synapse). A
device never receives its own user's presence changes made on other
devices, so the DP3 fix in db864326 — mirroring remote changes from the
Profile page — could never fire: device B kept a status that device A had
cleared and re-published it on its next state change.
Heartbeats now reconcile with the server first: GET our own presence,
send the server's current status_msg and bring the local copy in line.
Falls back to the local copy when the read fails, when the server shows
us offline (invisible mode clears the status by design), and for 15 s
after this device saved/cleared its own status (a server read that
hasn't caught up yet can't override a fresh save).
Verified with two sessions of the same user against local Synapse:
B sets "dp3 old status" → A clears it → B goes hidden→visible → server
stays "" and B's local copy is removed (before: back to "dp3 old status").
A sets "dp3 new from A" → B heartbeat keeps it and adopts it locally.

Steam double-encodes its meta tags (`&quot;`), so after Synapse's
single decode the card showed "The "Perpetual Testing
Initiative" …". The preview's og:title / og:description /
og:site_name are now decoded once where the preview is fetched, so every
card (about 20 read those fields directly) gets clean text. Rendered as
React text only, so decoding can't inject markup; exactly one level is
decoded.
Verified on the Portal 2 store link: "The \"Perpetual Testing
Initiative\" has been expanded…", no literal " left on the page.

RoomView focuses the composer on any "typing" key pressed while nothing
editable has focus, and Escape counted as typing. Closing the GIF picker
with Esc (its focus trap returns focus to the GIF button) therefore
landed in the composer instead, and so did Esc on any other room control.
Escape, CapsLock, Insert, ContextMenu, PrintScreen and Pause are now
excluded like the other non-typing keys.
Verified at 1300 px and 320 px: Esc closes the picker and focus is back
on "Insert GIF"; the 320 px picker fits with no page overflow.

Removed every `as any` in src/, then restored only the ones tsc still
needs: 163 → 36. 112 were in lotus-terminal.css.ts (`'… !important' as
any` etc. — vanilla-extract's style types accept these strings as-is),
so its file-wide eslint-disable goes too. The casts were type-only, so
emitted code and generated CSS are unchanged.
eslint warnings 49 → 46; the ratchet is tightened to match.
tsc clean; 1202 unit tests pass.

Shown only while Launch on login is on, and only when the native side
answers `get_start_minimized` (older desktop builds just don't show it).
Toggling calls `set_start_minimized`.

register() rejects on non-http(s) origins, and the rejection was
unhandled. The desktop app's debug build loads from tauri://localhost,
which surfaced as a Sentry "serviceWorker.register() must be called with
a script URL whose protocol is either HTTP or HTTPS". Skip registration
there, and catch any other failure (e.g. SWs disabled) with a warning.
The app works without a SW.

The comment said on.soundcloud.com links need an oEmbed round-trip. They
don't: Synapse follows the redirect for the preview and the og:url
fallback re-parses the canonical track URL. Checked with a real short
link (the play facade loads the w.soundcloud player).

Upload atoms now also report into an app-wide `uploadProgressAtom`, and
`aggregateUploadProgress` turns every in-flight upload into one taskbar
state: byte-weighted percentage while uploading, indeterminate until a
size is known, red after a failure (held 4 s, then cleared), none when
done. Cancelled uploads just disappear. `useTauriTaskbarProgress` sends it
to the native `set_taskbar_progress`, at most ~4 times a second, always
ending on the latest state.
Verified with a throttled 6 MB upload: 0% → 99% at 250 ms steps, then
cleared; with the upload request aborted: 0% → error → cleared after 4 s.

Sends `set_tray_call_state` from the same effect as the taskbar thumbbar,
so tray and thumbbar can't disagree. Verified through a real local call:
idle → active → active+muted → active+muted+deafened → active+muted → idle.

useCallControlState kept the previous control's state (the all-off
default before a call) for one render after the control changed, until
its effect caught up. The thumbbar, SMTC and tray hooks pushed that render
to the OS, so every join flashed "muted + deafened" first (recorded:
idle → active+muted+deafened → active). The state now remembers which
control it belongs to and reads the new control directly when they differ
(now: idle → active).

While an update is available the web client asks the native side to show
"Restart to update (vX)" in the tray menu and an "update ready" tooltip;
it's cleared once a check reports we're current, and kept while
installing or after a failed attempt. Clicking the tray item runs the
same install flow as the toast, so progress and failures show in-app.

A friend's update failed ten times in a row ("Update check failed: error
sending request for url (…nsis.zip)") before the 11th went through, and
he didn't know what to do. The label was also wrong: the check had
worked; the download failed.
- Progress: "Downloading update… 28% (14.3 MB of 49.9 MB)", "The update
server didn't respond. Trying again in 3 s (attempt 2 of 4)…", from the
native `lotus-update-progress` events (cinny-desktop retries itself).
- Failures name the step (check / download / install, from the native
error prefix) in plain language, with Try again and a Download
installer button (Windows: the setup .exe; else the release page), and
the raw error under "Details".
- Installing from the update toast now shows a "Downloading update"
toast, and on failure a sticky "Update didn't install" toast that
retries on click and points at Settings → General → App Updates.
Before, the toast vanished and the failure was only visible in Settings.

Notification sounds called `audio.play()` without handling the promise,
so every message that arrived before the user interacted with the page
(e.g. right after launch) logged an uncaught NotAllowedError — 15 in a
short test run. Same pattern in the video thumbnail loader, the voice
preview (which now also resets its Play button) and useMediaPlay.

- useTauriFocusAssist queries the new `get_focus_assist` command on mount.
The native poll's first reading is emitted during app setup, before the
page listens, and the atom resets on every reload — so with Focus Assist
already on, notifications leaked until the OS state flipped
(cinny-desktop #15).
- The toast quick reply takes the real `threadId` from the notification
data and replies inside the thread (cinny-desktop #17).
