#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.

Picks up three releases of MatrixRTC / delayed-event fixes and
matrix-sdk-crypto-wasm 18.3.1 -> 18.9.0.
SDK 43 moved OAuth (MSC3861) into the SDK and dropped oidc-client-ts, so
the native-OAuth sign-in is ported:
- login discovers the auth server via /auth_metadata, registers with
OAuth2.registerClient, and keeps the PKCE verifier + device in its own
sessionStorage entry keyed by `state` (single use; CSRF check);
- refresh is done by the SDK (oauthClientId + onTokenRefresh); the #16
cross-tab protection is kept by a narrow guard on refresh-token grants
(the SDK calls the global fetch for OAuth, not fetchFn), which
serialises them with a Web Lock and adopts a sibling tab's tokens;
- logout and forced logout revoke via mx.logout() (the SDK revokes at
the auth server for OAuth sessions);
- the callback page parsed its params on every render, re-running the
single-use code exchange in a loop; parsed once now.
Also: notification_type is deprecated in MSC4075 (ring in DMs, notify
elsewhere when omitted), _onRTCSessionMemberUpdate ->
ensureRecalculateSessionMembers, precache limit 6 -> 10 MB for the
7.8 MB crypto wasm.

When the server keeps rejecting this device's /keys/upload with 400 "One
time key ... already exists", the device's encryption store has diverged
and the SDK retries forever (matrix-rust-sdk#5200, still open). Synapse
saw 474k of these from May 30 to Jul 8 2026. The fix is a fresh login, so:
- keyUploadWatch observes /keys/upload responses through the client's
fetchFn (the response the SDK gets is untouched; a clone is read).
Three conflicts within 15 min = stuck; any successful upload clears it.
- KeyUploadBanner (critical strip, same slot as the sync/clock banners):
"Encryption on this device is out of sync" with Details and
"Fix: sign out…", which opens the normal logout dialog (it already
warns when the device isn't verified / backed up).
Server side, Grafana now alerts on the same signal (E2EE Key Upload
Conflicts) and on delayed-event 5xx (Call Delayed-Event Errors).

The strip showed for PREPARED and for the first SYNCING after it (or after
RECONNECTING), i.e. until the next /sync returned: ~30 s of long-poll on a
quiet account while the app already worked. A SYNCING means a sync just
succeeded, so the strip now shows only during CATCHUP; failures still show
as Reconnecting / Connection lost.

#266: remembered widget approvals (lotus.widgetConsent.*) survived logout,
so they applied silently to the next account on the device and listed the
previous account's rooms; clearPlaintextCaches now sweeps them. Space
structure, call membership and Lotus room-policy state join
PROTECTED_STATE_TYPES, so no widget can be granted them.
#267: any website could auto-submit a form to /share-target and land the
user in the share picker with attacker-chosen text and files. The worker
now refuses a share whose Origin is another site. (Sec-Fetch-Site, as the
issue suggested, never reaches a service worker: checked in Chromium.)
Origin null/absent, as the OS share sheet sends, stays accepted, and
/share now says the content came from another app or website. Both logout
paths await clearSharedPayload(); the server-forced one also clears the
soundboard clip cache, as #57 intended.

Settings (every page, pickers, the denoise tester) was in the entry

focusable spinner (it opens inside a FocusTrap), and warm the chunk

The service worker posts inline notification replies in the clear (it
cannot encrypt). The Reply action was only withheld for rooms that were
encrypted when the notification was shown, so a reply typed hours later
into a room that has since turned on encryption went out unencrypted.
It also posted with the newest session the worker knew, not the
notification's account.
The worker now GETs the room's m.room.encryption state first and only
sends on a definite 404; notifications carry the user id and the worker
uses that account's session (or refuses). "Reply not sent" says why.

The media gallery and activity log register filtered timeline sets on the

live RoomEvent.Timeline, so every matching event reached "new event in
the room" listeners twice for the rest of the session. The timeline
window shifted by an extra message per event (loaded messages vanished),
and notifications, unread counts, widget feeds and ring handling saw
duplicates.
isFromFilteredTimelineSet() (unit-tested) identifies emits from a filtered

sampling, call ring/decline handling and widget event feeds ignore them.

ReminderMonitor pushed an ordinary toast (auto-dismissed after 4 s) and

One "security" strip, in the same top slot and style as the status banner
(#124), for this device, in priority order:
- "Verify this device" — cross-signing exists but this device isn't
verified (can't unlock backed-up history, untrusted to others). First,
because verifying with the recovery key also connects the backup.
- "Connect this device to your key backup" — a backup exists, this device
isn't using it.
- "Set up key backup" — no backup at all (includes accounts without
cross-signing; the setup flow does both).
The button opens Settings → Devices (existing flows); "Not now" snoozes.
Rules: nothing in a device's first 24 h; "Not now" snoozes that nudge 7
days; 3 dismissals stop it; never on a healthy device; waits until sync
has settled (never under "Connecting…"); outage/maintenance/connection
strips win. Per-device record in localStorage, wiped on logout. Mounted
inside the Matrix client context and an error boundary (an early version
outside the context crashed the app on load — caught before pushing).
Also: the status strip wraps its text on phones instead of truncating it
when there's no Details button (benefits #124's strips too).
Design approved on #123 (real-client screenshots there). Tests: 4 unit
(the #123 state table, loading, timing, stored record); e2e: nothing during
the grace period, "Set up key backup" → Settings → Devices, "Not now"
holds across a reload. Unit 1319, Playwright 29 passed.

When the homeserver, voice calls or sign-in break, or maintenance is under
way, say so in the app — driven by the Kuma status page
(isitup.lotusguild.org/status/matrix), managed from Kuma's UI. The client
asks Kuma directly (not via our servers) so it still hears "the server is
down" when our servers can't tell it.
- config.json `statusPages`, keyed by homeserver: users of other servers
never contact Kuma.
- utils/kumaStatus.ts (pure, unit-tested): parse Kuma 2.x's public JSON;
a group is down when any monitor fails two checks in a row (down+down or
pending+down); maintenance = windows under way; announcements = incidents.
One strip at a time: server down (connection lost AND Kuma confirms) >
server having problems > maintenance > calls down > announcement;
sign-in problems on the login screen only.
- Wording about the user's own connection: "Connection lost … our status
checks say the server is up, so it may be your internet connection" ONLY
when Kuma checked the server after this client's connection dropped and
it passed; a stale "up" (Kuma needs a minute or two to notice an outage)
keeps the plain "Connection Lost!".
- useServerStatus: polls only while visible; 5 min, 60 s while something is
wrong or the connection is lost, at once when it drops; backoff; any
failure = no banner (Kuma being unreachable never looks like Matrix
being down); GET only, no cookies.
- UI in the existing banner slot and style (ContainerColor/Line like the
sync and clock banners); Details expands; dismiss for calls-down and
announcements (an edited announcement comes back); calls-down note above
Join; phone: one line + Details.
Needs the CSP connect-src to allow https://isitup.lotusguild.org (matrix
repo) before it can fetch in production; until then it fails quiet.
Tests: 15 unit tests (live page layout, two-check rule, any-monitor rule,
unknown/garbage, UTC beat times, stale-vs-fresh "up", priorities, login vs
client, maintenance, announcements + dismiss/edit); e2e (fixtures for Kuma):
calls-down strip + dismiss across reload, other homeservers make no
requests, Kuma 500 → nothing, lost connection + Kuma down → critical strip
instead of "Connection Lost", + fresh "up" → "may be your connection",

Incident 2026-09-29: the homeserver's host ran out of memory and stalled for
~2 minutes. The /sync that finally went out carried events whose `age` was
computed ~30 s before it arrived, so every client showed "Your computer's
clock is 30 seconds ahead of the server" while the real problem was the
server (all host clocks were within 0.25 s the whole evening).
The skew estimate was the median of the last 5 samples, and a sample is
local skew + delivery delay, so one late /sync with a handful of events
tripped it.
- Estimate = the LOWEST sample of the last 5 minutes: delay only ever adds,
so the fastest-delivered event is the truest.
- "Behind" (which a delay can't cause) is reported as soon as there are 3
samples, like before. "Ahead" must hold across samples received at least
a minute apart, so a single late burst never trips it.
- Samples are aged on the monotonic clock, and a change of the local clock
(someone fixing it) resets the measurement, so the warning clears at once.
- Only events stamped by our own homeserver are sampled: a federated event's
origin_server_ts is the other server's clock.
- Wording: "This device's clock is … Voice calls and encrypted messages can
fail until it's corrected." / call bar "Device clock … : calls may fail"
(was "will fail").
Unit tests: the incident (late burst after normal traffic, and a fresh
client whose first samples are all late), mixed slow/fast deliveries,
ahead only after a minute, behind at once, hysteresis, clock fixed.

Until now a send that failed (offline, homeserver down, a blip) went
straight to "Failed to send": nothing retried it, and a reload dropped it
without trace (chronological pending ordering keeps local echoes in memory
only).
- Outbox (utils/outbox.ts + features/outbox/OutboxFeature): own message
sends (text, stickers, reactions, polls; not call signalling or
redactions) are mirrored to localStorage from their first local echo until
the server confirms them or the user cancels.
- After a reload they come back as local echoes via room.addPendingEvent,
same shape as the SDK's own. Recent ones (< 1 h) are sent again with the
same txnId; older ones come back as "Failed to send" for the user to
retry or cancel. Ones the server already has (transaction id seen in
/sync) are dropped, so no duplicates.
- Retries: network failures (ConnectionError, 408/429/5xx) are re-sent when
the connection returns (sync recovers or the browser goes back online),
and after a blip while online (5 s, backing off, max 10 per message).
Oldest first, in order per room. 4xx / consent / encryption failures are
left to the user.
- UI: a network failure while offline shows a clock, "Queued. Will send
when you're back online" (thread view too), not the red ✕. The ✕ is now
a button: click to retry.
- Logout wipes the outbox with the other plaintext caches (the content is
decrypted, like drafts).
Tested end to end against a local Synapse (Chromium): offline → queued →
sent once on reconnect; homeserver unreachable → queued → sent once; failed
send → reload → sent once and shown once; server accepted but response lost
→ reload → no duplicate; 2 h old entry → failed, not sent, click ✕ → sent;
cancel → gone after reload; encrypted room → restored message goes out as
m.room.encrypted with no plaintext and decrypts; one-off failure retried by
itself in ~5 s; no page errors. Unit tests for the pure parts; Playwright

Lotus permalinks (#130) were built from window.location.origin. In the
desktop app that's the local tauri-plugin-localhost server (hash-routed), so
"Copy Lotus Link" copied e.g. http://localhost:…/#/home/!room…, which works
for nobody else. And the link recogniser only knew that local base, so a real
https://chat.lotusguild.org/home/… link in a message opened the browser
instead of the room.
- useLotusShareBase: in the desktop app, links for other people use config
`webAppUrl` (https only, set by cinny-desktop #23) in web path-routing
form; otherwise the origin, as before. Used by "Copy Lotus Link" on
messages, the space menu and space tabs.
- The recogniser accepts several bases: the origin, plus `webAppUrl` in the
desktop app.
- The web app is unchanged.
Verified with a simulated desktop (Tauri bridge + webAppUrl) against a local
Synapse. Copied links are https://chat.lotusguild.org/home/<room>/<event> and

Windows' emoji font has no flag glyphs, so 🇺🇸 (:flag_us:) showed as the
letters "US". Two fixes:
- A TwemojiFlags @font-face over the bundled Twemoji file, limited by
unicode-range to the regional-indicator letters (U+1F1E6–1F1FF), is put in
the font stack on Windows only. Every other emoji stays native, other
platforms keep their own flags, and the file is fetched only when a flag is
on screen.
- The Appearance font setting overwrote --font-secondary with a stack that
had no emoji families at all, so neither this nor the existing "Twitter
emoji" switch reached message text. The font map now keeps
var(--font-flags), var(--font-emoji) before the generic family.
Verified in Chromium via CDP platform fonts: with a Windows user agent 🇺🇸 is
drawn by "Twemoji Mozilla" while 😀 stays on the system emoji font; with a
Linux user agent both stay native.

A homeserver with a consent requirement (Synapse user_consent) rejects sends
with 403 M_CONSENT_NOT_GIVEN until the user accepts its current terms. The
message just showed "Failed to send" with no reason.
Listen for the SDK's HttpApiEvent.NoConsent and show a dialog naming the
user's own homeserver (the client works with any server, so no Lotus-specific
wording), with "Review and accept" opening the server's consent_uri (http(s)
only; anything else is dropped) and "I've accepted — retry sending" resending
every event that failed for this reason. "Later" snoozes it for 10 s so
background retries don't re-open it immediately.
Verified in Chromium against a local Synapse with the send endpoint answering
M_CONSENT_NOT_GIVEN: dialog shows, link opens, retry delivers the message.

16 menus (room header, Home/Direct/Space sidebar tabs, create tab, lobby,
room-nav item, history visibility, client root) set
returnFocusOnDeactivate: false, so pressing Escape dropped focus to
<body> and a keyboard user had to start over from the top of the page.
That option was there so focus wouldn't be pulled back to the menu button
when an item opens a dialog; since ce8ed89f dialogs move focus into
themselves (their initial focus runs after the menu's return), so it's no
longer needed. The autocomplete menu (focus must stay in the editor) and
the two menus whose opener disappears are left as they were.
Checked: room header menu → Escape → focus on "More options" (was
<body>); menu → Leave Room → focus inside the Leave Room dialog on
Cancel, same as before.

Most modals rendered a folds Dialog/Modal with no role and no name, and
their focus traps used `initialFocus: false`, so focus stayed behind the
modal and a screen reader never announced it.
- 32 dialogs with a visible heading: role="dialog", aria-modal,
aria-labelledby → the heading (given an id), tabIndex=-1.
- 4 dialogs that already had a name (Leave Room, room topic viewer,
server ACL, room-nav prompt): role + aria-modal.
- Their focus traps drop `initialFocus: false` for focus-trap's default
(keep an already-focused autoFocus field, else the first tabbable
element) with the dialog itself as fallbackFocus, so a dialog without
a tabbable node can't crash the trap. Traps that live in a parent
(UIA stages, Logout, Forward, Invite) get the semantics only.
- The file drop overlay is deliberately left alone (not a dialog).
Checked at runtime: Join with Address, Delete Message, Report Message,
Leave Room and Logout open as named dialogs with focus inside and close
with Escape (Tab first when a text field has focus — the shared
stopPropagation keeps Escape from discarding typed text, by design).
The axe e2e spec (6 tests) passes; eslint warnings unchanged (46).
17 modals with no heading (image/file viewers, loading screens) remain.

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".

- 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.

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.

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.

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.
