The outer Box(direction=Column, gap=300) was a flex column with flex-shrink:1
on children. With maxHeight:480 + overflowY:auto, when total content exceeded
480px the flex children compressed into each other, making cells appear to
overlap regardless of the gap on the inner flex container.
Replace with:
- Plain div scroll container (display:flex flex-direction:column gap:24)
so children never shrink — they overflow into scroll area
- Plain div per category (gap:10 between label and grid)
- CSS grid (auto-fill, 72px columns, gap:20) for cells so row spacing is
explicit and cannot be affected by flex layout math

The INSET overflow approach (position:absolute images extending beyond
52×52 buttons) was fundamentally broken: absolutely positioned children
don't contribute to flex row height, so rowGap controlled button-to-button
spacing but image pixels still painted into the gap, causing visual overlap
regardless of how large rowGap was set.
New approach: 72×72 circle cells, overflow:hidden, image fills the cell
via inset:0 with objectFit:contain. Gap of 16px is actual clear space
between cell edges — no math needed. Also bumped maxHeight 420→480.

rowGap 36→52 (40px visual gap between image rows), columnGap separate at 28.
The 52×52 buttons have 8px image overflow on each side so row gap needed to
account for 8+visual+8 = actual gap. Previous 36→20px visual was still tight.

- chatBackground.ts: remove animRainGlowKeyframe and animGridBrightnessKeyframe
from LIGHT anim-rain and anim-pulse definitions (these were removed from the
import and from DARK variants in the previous session but the LIGHT variants
were missed, leaving stale references that would cause a build error)
- ProfileDecoration.tsx: increase decoration grid gap 20→36 (visual gap was
only 4px due to 8px image overflow beyond each 52×52 button), fix paddingBottom
4→8 and add paddingRight:8 to prevent edge clipping
- LOTUS_BUGS.md: correct bug #8 root cause (CSP, not lazy-loading), add
bugs #9 (grid spacing) and #10 (Windows taskbar badge)

Settings dropdowns (Bug #3):
- Add reusable SettingsSelect component using Menu+PopOut+FocusTrap — exact
same pattern as Message Layout, so all dropdowns look consistent
- Replace raw <select> for Seasonal Theme, UI Font, AFK Timeout, and
Join & Leave Sounds with SettingsSelect
Animated chat backgrounds bleeding onto content (Bug #6 / #7):
- Remove filter:brightness() and opacity animations from chatBackground.ts
(animRainGlowKeyframe, animGridBrightnessKeyframe, animFirefliesGlowKeyframe,
animFirefliesBlinkKeyframe). These were applied to the Page element which
caused ALL descendants (messages, composer) to flash in sync.
Also created a CSS stacking context on Page that pushed SeasonalEffect
(position:fixed; z-index:9997) behind the animated background layer.
- Only backgroundPosition / backgroundSize animations remain — safe, do not
affect descendants, and do not create stacking contexts.
- Remove now-unused animation keyframe imports from chatBackground.ts.
Voice ringing in persistent rooms (Bug #5):
- Narrow the ringing condition from (Invite|Knock|Restricted) to only Invite,
matching exactly the rooms where the call button is visible.
- Add room.isCallRoom() early-exit so m.join_rule:call rooms never ring.
Avatar decoration images not loading (Bug #8):
- Change loading="lazy" → loading="eager" in DecorationPreviewCell.
Lazy loading does not reliably trigger for images inside nested overflow
scroll containers (the settings panel scroll area), so images never loaded.
Docs: LOTUS_BUGS.md updated with root cause and resolution for all 5 new bugs.
Docs: LOTUS_TODO.md adds P5-35/P5-36 (deferred desktop notification/jump list).

256×256 APNG overlays from avatardecoration.com (open CORS CDN).
Stored in the user's Matrix profile as io.lotus.avatar_decoration via
MSC4133 so all Lotus Chat users see each other's decorations.
- avatarDecorations.ts: curated catalog of 110 original-IP decorations
across 9 categories (Gaming, Cyber, Space, Fantasy, Elements,
Japanese, Nature, Spooky, Cozy)
- useAvatarDecoration: per-user profile fetch with module-level cache
and in-flight deduplication so concurrent renders for the same userId
share one HTTP request
- AvatarDecoration: position:relative wrapper that overlays the APNG
8px beyond the avatar on all sides; renders nothing when no decoration
is set (zero cost for undecorated users)
- ProfileDecoration: scrollable grid picker in Settings → Profile,
grouped by category with live preview; Save button appears only when
the selection differs from what's saved
- Applied at all five avatar display sites: message timeline, members
drawer, knock list, @mention autocomplete, notifications inbox

Status message: Synapse clears status_msg when a user goes offline/reconnects.
Fix by caching to localStorage and re-sending on setOnline(). The sync
effect no longer overwrites the local value with an empty server event.
Timezone: PUT /profile/{userId}/m.tz is MSC1769 (unstable) and not
supported by standard Synapse — save/load silently fails. Fix by using
Matrix account data (im.lotus.timezone) instead, which is fully
supported. Own profile falls back to account data; other users still
try the m.tz profile endpoint (for federated servers that support it).

P2-8: Pronouns (m.pronouns) and Timezone (m.tz) fields in Settings →
Account → Profile; saved via MSC4133 PUT /profile/{userId}/{field};
useExtendedProfile hook fetches both in parallel; UserHero displays
pronouns below display name and timezone string below username
P2-11: Full push rule editor in Settings → Notifications below keyword
rules; covers override/room/sender/underride rule kinds; enable/disable
toggle per rule, human-readable labels for built-in rules, delete button
for custom rules, add-rule form for room and sender rules
P2-12: Server ACL viewer/editor in room settings (Server ACL tab);
reads m.room.server_acl state event; allow/deny server lists with
wildcard validation; allow IP literals toggle; power-level gated
(edit requires sufficient PL, otherwise read-only view)

var(--bg-surface-variant) and var(--border-surface-variant) are not
defined in Cinny's vanilla-extract theme, so the select element renders
with a transparent/white background. Also native <option> elements ignore
most inherited CSS.
Fix: use folds color tokens (color.SurfaceVariant.*) for background,
border, and text color; add colorScheme:'dark' so the browser renders
the OS popup with dark styling; apply background+color to <option>
elements as a belt-and-suspenders fallback for browsers that honour it.

B1 - GIF upload progress: spinner on GIF button + disabled state while
fetch+upload is in flight; clears on success or error
B2 - PiP position persistence: drag end saves left/top to localStorage;
entering PiP restores saved position (clamped to current viewport)
B3 - PiP snap-to-corner: double-click the PiP overlay snaps to nearest
corner with a 180ms CSS transition; saves new position
B4 - Device sessions loading state: useOtherUserDevices now returns
{status:'loading'|'error'|'success', devices} instead of bare
array; UserDeviceSessions shows spinner while loading
B5 - Device sessions error state: catch in hook sets status:'error';
panel shows warning icon + 'Could not load sessions' message
B6 - Screenshare fullscreen Safari guard: hide button when
document.fullscreenEnabled is false (iOS Safari, some mobile)
B7 - Status save error: show critical-coloured error text below Save
button when saveState.status === AsyncStatus.Error
B9 - Encrypted search coverage counter: 'X / Y cached' badge next to
'Encrypted Rooms' heading using existing localResult fields
D2 - PiP screenshare spotlight: track auto-spotlight in a ref; release
spotlight when screenshare ends while in PiP mode

useAsync re-throws after setting error state, so callers that don't
await or catch the returned promise get an unhandled rejection. Fixes
JAVASCRIPT-REACT-E (429 on presence endpoint).

Shows X/64 below the input. Fades in at 56 chars (warning colour) and
turns critical red at the limit so users always know where they stand.

Add maxLength=128 to the status input to prevent absurdly long statuses.
In UserHeroName (profile panel), tighten the status display to LineClamp2,
add overflow:hidden on the container, and use overflowWrap:anywhere so
unbroken strings (emoji chains, URLs) wrap instead of overflowing.
Member list already truncates via the truncate prop.

React.lazy + Suspense interacted badly with the nested FocusTraps (the
settings Modal500 outer trap and EmojiBoard's inner trap). During the
suspend/resolve cycle targetFromEvent returned undefined, causing
handleGroupItemClick to bail before calling onEmojiSelect.
Switched to a direct import matching MessageEditor and PowersEditor
which both use EmojiBoard inside settings panels without lazy loading.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Emoji bug root cause: EmojiBoard wraps itself in a FocusTrap with
clickOutsideDeactivates:true. When the picker was rendered inside
Input's 'after' prop, the FocusTrap treated clicks on the emoji items
as outside-clicks and deactivated (calling requestClose) before the
onEmojiSelect callback fired. Fixed by moving the emoji PopOut to be
a direct sibling of Input in the form row instead of nesting it inside
Input.after — matching the established pattern used in MessageEditor.
429 rate-limit: mx.setPresence() calls in handleClear and the
auto-clear timer effect had no rejection handling, causing unhandled
promise rejections logged to Sentry when Synapse rate-limits presence
updates. Added .catch(() => undefined) to both call sites. Sentry
issue JAVASCRIPT-REACT-E resolved.

When focus moves to the emoji picker the input loses focus, making
selectionStart/selectionEnd unreliable. Replace the cursor-tracking
insertion with a simple functional state updater that always appends
the emoji to the end — reliable and appropriate for a short status field.
Also removes the now-unused inputRef and useRef import.

Adds an 'Auto-clear after' dropdown to the Status Message settings tile
with options: Never / 30 min / 1 hr / 4 hr / 8 hr / Until midnight /
1 day / 7 days.
How it works:
- On save, stores the expiry timestamp in localStorage keyed by userId
(lotus-status-expiry-<userId>) and sets expiryTs state
- A single useEffect on expiryTs drives the timer — re-saving cancels
the previous timer cleanly via useEffect cleanup
- On mount, reads stored expiry from localStorage so auto-clear
survives page reloads (fires immediately if already expired)
- Manual Clear Status also removes the stored expiry and cancels any
active timer

React nullifies synthetic event's currentTarget before async state
updater callbacks run. Capture getBoundingClientRect() synchronously
in the onClick handler, then pass the already-computed rect into
setEmojiAnchor.

- MembersDrawer: show presence.status as small muted text below
username in every member row (live via useUserPresence)
- UserHero/UserHeroName: accept optional status prop; render below
the @username handle in user profile popouts
- UserRoomProfile: pass presence?.status down to UserHeroName
- Profile settings: new ProfileStatus tile below Display Name
* Input with inline emoji picker (lazy-loaded EmojiBoard)
* Cursor-aware emoji insertion (preserves caret position)
* Save via mx.setPresence({ status_msg }) / Clear button
* Pre-fills from current presence; syncs on remote update

Prettier: auto-formatted 103 files to fix baseline. Prettier check in CI
is now a hard gate (removed continue-on-error).
Brotli: installed libnginx-mod-http-brotli-filter/static. Enabled in nginx
with brotli_static on for pre-compressed assets and comp_level 6.
Sentry releases: deploy script now exports VITE_APP_VERSION=<git-short-sha>
before building so each Sentry release maps to an exact commit.
CI also passes github.sha as VITE_APP_VERSION.
