TauriUpdateFeature component in ClientNonUIFeatures checks for updates
on mount and every 12h (skips if checked within the window). On update
available, fires a Lotus toast: "Lotus Chat vX.Y.Z is ready to install."
Clicking the toast calls install(). No-op on web (isTauri guard).
Also adds optional onClick to ToastNotif type and wires it in
LotusToastContainer so custom click handlers can skip hash navigation.

On mobile, SidebarNav (which contains BookmarksTab) is hidden while
inside a room. Added a Saved Messages toggle to the RoomMenu (···More
Options) so users can open/close the bookmarks panel without leaving
the room. Works on all screen sizes; UNTESTED on device.
Also marks Remind Me Later as done in LOTUS_TODO — it was already
fully wired (RemindMeDialog + ReminderMonitor + Message.tsx trigger).

- Add ReportUserModal.tsx — category dropdown + reason input, calls
POST /_matrix/client/v3/users/{userId}/report via mx.http.authedRequest,
inline success/error feedback, auto-closes 1500ms after success
- Wire Report User button into UserRoomProfile.tsx between UserModeration
and UserDeviceSessions (hidden for own profile)
- Bug #6: enforce mutual exclusion between chat backgrounds and seasonal
themes — ChatBgGrid clears seasonal→'off' on non-'none' pick;
SeasonalBgGrid clears chatBackground→'none' on real theme pick;
SeasonalEffect guards against legacy persisted state at render time
- TDS: strip all hardcoded hex/rgba fallbacks from LotusToastContainer.tsx
(var(--lt-bg-card), --lt-accent-orange, --lt-text-primary/secondary,
--lt-accent-orange-dim/border, --lt-box-glow-orange)
- Mark Bug #6 FIXED, MSC4260 DONE, toast TDS FIXED in LOTUS_BUGS.md and
LOTUS_TODO.md; note EventReaders + CallControls already compliant

Replace the boolean call noise-suppression setting with a 3-way control
(Off / Browser-native / ML beta) in Settings -> General -> Calls.
- Off: noiseSuppression=false to Element Call
- Browser-native: EC's built-in WebRTC suppressor (prior default)
- ML (beta): on-device RNNoise (@sapphi-red/web-noise-suppressor)
Element Call captures the mic inside its iframe and publishes to LiveKit,
so the host can't reach that track; LiveKit's Krisp filter is Cloud-only
(we self-host the SFU) and EC's own RNNoise PR #3892 is unmerged. The ML
tier instead injects a same-origin pre-init shim into the vendored EC
index.html (build/lotus-denoise.js, wired by the lotusDenoise vite plugin)
that patches getUserMedia and routes the captured mic through an RNNoise
AudioWorklet before LiveKit sees it -- the same post-capture pipeline as
#3892, with no EC fork/AGPL/rebase burden. Falls back to the raw mic if
setup fails; keeps echoCancellation/AGC on the raw capture.
- settings.ts: callNoiseSuppression -> 'off'|'browser'|'ml' + legacy
boolean migration (true->browser, false->off)
- CallEmbed/useCallEmbed: tier maps to noiseSuppression param and appends
lotusDenoise=ml (native suppressor off in ML mode)
- vite.config.js: copy RNNoise worklet/wasm + shim into the EC bundle and
inject the shim <script> before EC's module entry
- docs: LOTUS_FEATURES.md, LOTUS_TODO.md (P5-30 done)

- New Year: replace flashing animBurst rays with gentle falling confetti
- Lunar New Year: reduce 9 lanterns to 4, halve sizes, dim silk/shimmer
- April Fools: remove all glitch/scanline/watermark effects; replace
with a subtle rainbow stripe and falling punctuation symbols
- Add SeasonalPreview export (position:absolute, reduced-motion) for
use inside contained card elements
- Replace SettingsSelect dropdown for Seasonal Theme with SeasonalBgGrid,
a visual card grid (matches ChatBgGrid pattern) showing ambient previews
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).

- Point DECORATION_CDN at Lotus Nextcloud WebDAV share instead of external
avatardecoration.com; all 99 APNG files are self-hosted and served via
direct DAV URL (no CORS issue for <img> elements)
- Add onError handler to AvatarDecoration.tsx to silently hide the overlay
if a file is missing or the CDN is unreachable
- Rewrite scripts/syncDecorations.mjs: now sends HTTP HEAD requests to the
live Nextcloud CDN (batches of 16 in parallel) and removes catalog entries
for files that return non-2xx; empty categories are pruned automatically.
Workflow: delete files from Nextcloud → run `npm run sync:decorations` →
commit the updated avatarDecorations.ts. No local files needed.
- Add public/decorations/ to .gitignore; delete the 85 MB local APNG cache
that was downloaded during development (files live on Nextcloud now)
- Add sync:decorations script to package.json
- Update LOTUS_FEATURES.md, LOTUS_TODO.md (P5-13 + P5-14 ✓), README.md
with avatar decoration documentation and catalog sync workflow

Adds 11 CSS-only seasonal overlays (Halloween, Christmas, New Year, Autumn,
April Fool's, Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Earth Day,
Deep Space, Retro Arcade) with date-based auto-detection and a manual override
dropdown in Settings → Appearance → Seasonal Theme. All themes respect
prefers-reduced-motion. SeasonalEffect mounts at z-index 9997 in App.tsx.
Also rewrites all 5 animated chat background keyframes for smoother, more
organic motion: Digital Rain gains a phosphor glow flicker; Star Drift now
loops each layer by exactly its own tile size (no more seam); Grid Pulse adds
an independent brightness oscillation at a prime period; Aurora Flow drives
all four gradient layers through distinct paths; Fireflies adds glow-pulse and
opacity-blink animations at prime periods for unsynchronised bioluminescence.

Sounds (P5-16): browsers block the Web Audio context until a user gesture
starts it, so join/leave sounds — which fire later with no gesture — were
silent. unlockCallSounds() now primes/resumes the shared AudioContext inside
the Join click (centralized in useCallStart so every join path is covered),
making the per-client sounds reliably audible to everyone in the call.
Voice limit (P5-10): the limit is now a hard, cross-client server-side cap
enforced by the voice-limit-guard sidecar (matrix repo) that fronts
lk-jwt-service and refuses LiveKit tokens when a room is full. Updated
LOTUS_FEATURES.md / README.md / LOTUS_TODO.md to reflect that the client
'Channel Full' check is UX only and the server is authoritative.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
P5-10 Voice Channel User Limit:
- New StateEvent.LotusVoiceLimit (io.lotus.voice_limit) with { max_users }
- RoomVoiceLimit admin control in Room Settings > General > Voice
(power-level gated via permissions.stateEvent)
- CallPrescreen reads the limit reactively and disables Join with a
'Channel Full (N/N)' message at capacity; existing members can rejoin
P5-16 Custom Join/Leave Sound Effects:
- useCallJoinLeaveSounds hook wired into CallUtils; detects participant
join/leave via MatrixRTCSession membership changes (sender|deviceId),
filters out self, only fires while joined
- Sounds synthesized in-browser with Web Audio (callSounds.ts) - no
assets bundled; styles Off/Chime/Soft/Retro
- 'Join & Leave Sounds' selector in Settings > Calls (previews on change)
Docs: LOTUS_FEATURES.md, README.md, LOTUS_TODO.md (P5-10/P5-16 marked done)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- LOTUS_FEATURES.md: added sections for Knock-to-Join Notifications for
Admins and AFK Auto-Mute in Voice under their parent headings
- LOTUS_TODO.md: marked P4-3 and P5-11 as [x] completed

- P5-21: Custom @mention highlight color picker in Settings → Appearance.
CSS vars with luminance-computed text color; resets cleanly to theme default.
- P5-22: Font selector (System, Inter, JetBrains Mono, Fira Code) in
Settings → Appearance. Fira Code added to Google Fonts preload.
- P5-27: Gaming/Work/Sleep preset buttons at top of Settings → Notifications.
Each atomically applies a group of notification settings.

- 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

and typing indicator orange dots all shipped June 2026.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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
