jared d1cd963e4b docs(bugs): record live-test results + EC iframe limitations
Verified passing: A2, B1-B4, C1, C3, D. Re-fixed and awaiting re-test: A1

# Lotus Chat — Open Bugs & Technical Debt
**Only OPEN and awaiting-verification items live here.** Resolved findings
(fixed-and-verified, false-positives, won't-fix) have been removed to keep this
actionable — the full history is in git. Items fixed in code but not yet
verified in a real environment are in **Needs Verification** below and have
step-by-step checks in [`LOTUS_TESTING.md`](./LOTUS_TESTING.md).
> Design rules for any fix here: follow the **Native-Cinny Law** and **TDS
> Design Law** in [`LOTUS_TODO.md`](./LOTUS_TODO.md).

## ⚠️ Needs Verification — fixed in code, awaiting live testing
Implemented and gate-green; confirm each per `LOTUS_TESTING.md`, then delete the row.
| ID | Item | File / area | Test |
| :--- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------- | :------- |
| #2 | Chat-background animation flicker (`contain:paint`) | `lotus/chatBackground.ts` | F1 |
| #4 | Ringtone re-fixes: classic loudness + caller decline notice (A2 ✓ live) | `CallEmbedProvider.tsx`, `ringtones.ts` | A1,A3,A4 |
| #6 | Background vs. seasonal theme mutual exclusion | `state/settings.ts`, `General.tsx` | F2 |

**Verified working in live testing (2026-06):** A2, B1B4, C1, C3, D (mic/camera/deafen/screenshare/fullscreen/more-menu/PiP). Denoise quality in D is still poor — tracked under the denoise project, not a regression.

## 🧩 Known Element Call iframe limitations (not fixable from our side)
The in-call participant grid is rendered **inside EC's separate-origin iframe**,
which we can style/place around but cannot inject UI into. Consequences from
testing:
- **A5 — "Focus camera":** EC already supports native tile-pinning (click a video
tile). Our bottom-bar "Focus camera" is a programmatic wrapper that clicks that
tile; it can't live inside EC's UI. During a screenshare EC spotlights the
shared screen and a camera pin may not override it. _Decision: keep the
shortcut, revisit with the larger call-UI/EC work._
- **A6 — avatar decorations in-call:** decorations render on **our** pre-join
lobby roster (`CallMemberCard`) but cannot be drawn on EC's in-call video
tiles. Working as designed given the iframe boundary.
- **A7 — mic dead after EC's "Reconnect":** the mid-call "Connection lost /
Reconnect" screen is **EC's own** (our load watchdog only covers an initial
hung load). After EC reconnects, the mic isn't re-published through our denoise
`getUserMedia` shim until a clean End+rejoin. Tied to the denoise rework.

## 🔴 Open — Actionable
### Calls / Audio
- **N127 — ML denoise shim is never injected in `vite dev`.** The `lotusDenoise` plugin injects only on `closeBundle` (build), so ML noise suppression is silently inactive during local dev. Add a dev-mode injection (`configureServer` / `transformIndexHtml`). Dev-only impact.
### Security & Privacy
- **N97 — Access token stored in plaintext `localStorage`** (`state/sessions.ts`), vulnerable to XSS; device ID likewise. Architectural — needs a token-protection / session-storage redesign.
- **Session writes are non-atomic and not cross-tab synced** (`state/sessions.ts`) — risks inconsistent state / races across tabs.
- **Persisted PII without encryption:** user status message + expiry (`settings/account/Profile.tsx`), unsent composer drafts (`room/RoomInput.tsx`). Leak risk on shared devices.
### PWA / Offline / Notifications
- **N105 — Service worker has no `notificationclick` handler** — notification clicks are broken when the tab is closed. Needs `showNotification()` via the SW + a `notificationclick` listener.
- **N107 — SW has no `push` handler** — Web Push delivery is entirely non-functional. Needs a `push` listener + a Matrix push-gateway integration.
- **No app-asset caching strategy** (`src/sw.ts`) — no offline capability.
- **`manifest: false`** in `vite.config.js` — may block correct PWA install if not handled externally.
### Dependencies & Build
- **`matrix-js-sdk` pinned to a Release Candidate** (`41.6.0-rc.0`); `@atlaskit` and build tools (`vite`, `typescript`, `eslint`) on unstable/experimental pins — review for stable versions; RC SDK is a tree-shaking/bundle-size risk.
- **Build-time overhead:** `lotusDenoise` does heavy sequential `fs` work in `closeBundle`; `viteStaticCopy` config is complex with redundant renames — could be streamlined.
### Code Hygiene / DevEx
- **No automated test suite** (`src/`) — no unit/integration tests configured.
- **Extensive `as any` casts** across `src/` — gradual typing cleanup.
- **`types/matrix/` mirrors SDK types** instead of importing them — drift risk.
- **Hardcoded CDN URL** should move to an env var (the decoration CDN is now single-sourced in `avatarDecorations.ts`, but the literal is still in-repo).
- **`patch-folds.mjs` edits `node_modules` directly** — consider `patch-package`.
- **Infra docs:** `contrib/nginx` lacks security headers (HSTS/CSP) + uses rewrites over `try_files`; `contrib/caddy` has a placeholder path. CI/CD (`prod-deploy.yml`): sequential deploy, aggressive 1-min Netlify timeout, `package-manager-cache: false`.
- **README:** keep the fork-sync version + logo path current. (`CONTRIBUTING.md` is intentionally left as upstream Cinny's — not a Lotus concern.)
- **Architecture notes (low priority):** deep `features/` + `hooks/` nesting, many small coupled hooks, possible dead CSS/components, `SpacingVariant` / `DropTarget` recipe simplification.
- **Git workflow (forward-looking):** keep commits scoped — past monolithic "fix all bugs" commits and inconsistent prefixes hurt `git bisect`.
### Big Projects
- **#5 — Seasonal themes & chat-background redesign.** Current backgrounds are basic CSS; goal is high-fidelity, research-backed, GPU-accelerated designs (layered `oklch`, `backdrop-filter`, `contain:paint`) with WCAG-AA overlay contrast. Treat each as its own design sprint.
