dtourolle 11d9d760d8 feat(player): native video on Linux, and one contract for every player (v0.11.0)
mpv now decodes video on Linux, drawn into a framebuffer we own and blitted
into the default vbox's draw handler. Tauri's widget tree is untouched, so an
upgrade that assumes its own layout cannot invalidate this. Direct play means
the original file, hardware decoding, and no server transcode at all — where
previously every desktop video was re-encoded to h264 for the browser engine,
whatever the file actually was. Off by default: JELLYTAU_NATIVE_VIDEO=1.

That settles finding 2 of playback-backend-unification.md — "native video
cannot be composited with a Tauri webview" — by demonstration rather than
argument, on X11 and Wayland both.

Turning it on exposed nine defects, none of them mpv's. Each was the same
mistake in a different place: a capability written down as a compile-time fact
about the platform, or a state asserted instead of confirmed.

  DR-238/246  a seek routed by the stream's container rather than by what the
              engine could do with it - correct only while one player handled
              those streams, silent the moment another did
  DR-239      a property handled but never observed, so the play/pause button
              waited for an event that could not arrive
  DR-240      fullscreen expanding the document while the window stayed put
  DR-241      a seek issued before the engine had a file, failed, and discarded
              - which is why resume began at zero
  DR-247      a Linux-only gate outliving the caller that made it Linux-only,
              breaking the Android build outright
  DR-250      a stop aimed at whichever renderer bookkeeping believed was in
              charge, missing the one actually making sound
  DR-251      a duration of zero believed, leaving the seek bar no scale
  DR-252      a junk float converted to a Duration, panicking the backend the
              instant a length-less stream appeared

So the MediaPlayer contract (DR-242 … DR-247): `open` carries a start position,
so no caller sequences load-then-seek and none can race an engine's load;
`seek` states a destination and leaves in-place-versus-re-open to the engine;
`snapshot` is one coherent read; and `Phase::Opening` names the window where
intent used to be lost. One conformance suite runs against every engine —
FakePlayer and mpv under cargo test, ExoPlayer instrumented on a device — so an
engine is either correct or visibly failing.

Two of the nine were introduced during this work and caught on hardware, not by
any suite: an over-broad capability that grouped ExoPlayer with mpv, and the
Duration panic. The suites test engines that behave. That is recorded in
docs/native-player-verification.md, which asks for the exact action sequences
that found them.

Verified: all automated gates, conformance (mpv 9/9, legacy 8/9 by design,
ExoPlayer 7/7 on device), and manual desktop and Android passes on real
hardware.

Known open and deliberately shipped: resume reads local progress and never the
server's; the background-audio handoff still declares a state swap it does not
confirm (the symptom is now impossible, the race is not); and `bun run
android:dev` builds an APK carrying the release application id, whose failure
message advises an uninstall that would destroy app data. Fix that last one
before anyone else builds for Android.

Squashed from worktree-linux-native-video, which keeps the per-defect history.

dtourolle 32043a2152 docs: fold shipped specs into the architecture docs and delete them
A spec was a promise; sixteen of them had become descriptions of code that
already shipped, sitting beside four that describe work still outstanding, with
nothing in the file telling the two apart. Half the statuses were also wrong —
audio-equalizer read "Accepted" with the EQ live on both platforms, the native
video spec said the flag stays off after the default was flipped on.

The shipped designs move into docs/architecture, which is the maintained
description of the build, and the spec files go. Git history keeps the
originals; what a future change still needs is carried across:

- 01-rust-backend: favourites rewritten (the old section named a file that no
  longer exists and called shipped buttons "planned"), domain vocabulary owned
  by Rust (SearchScope, exclusions, the bitrate ladder), background workers
- 02-svelte-frontend: app shell and chrome, library mosaic, series/episode
  navigation, downloaded browse, safe-area insets, native-video store, logging
- 03-data-flow: locally-indexed search
- 05-platform-backends: audio settings on ExoPlayer, the equalizer's band
  vocabulary, native video compositing, the background-audio handoff
- 06-downloads-and-offline: one storage model, offline catalog visibility
- 09-security: path confinement and input binding

docs/specs/README.md now says what the directory is for and where each shipped
design went. Deferred work the specs recorded is kept beside the code it
concerns rather than lost: season-bounded autoplay, the two dead search
commands, why indexing is a full crawl.

requirements.md had fourteen stale statuses — Android audio parity still read
"Linux only", DR-150 still said the native-video default was off, DR-190 was
Proposed after DR-196 implemented it, and five tooling requirements were
Proposed after landing. Three unbuilt specs suggested requirement ids that have
since been allocated to other work; each now carries a warning.

dtourolle ad48d89dfe chore(format): run prettier over src/ and scripts/
Formatting was configured but never enforced: `bun run format:check`
reported 199 unformatted files and ran in no workflow and in no git hook,
so .prettierrc (printWidth 100, trailing commas) described an intention
rather than the tree.

This is the one-time sweep that makes the check gateable. Whitespace and
token-reflow only -- no behavioural change: `bun run check` reports 0
errors and all 1053 frontend tests pass before and after.

Kept out of every other commit on purpose. A 199-file diff mixed with
real changes is unreviewable, and the next commit turns format:check
into a hard CI gate so this cannot silently accumulate again.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 2d50744320 fix(player): resume at saved position on the Android native path
The native (ExoPlayer) video path never applied the resume position, so
"resume from where you left off" always played from the start on Android.

Two layers each assumed the other did the seek:

- The only code acting on `initialPosition` was handleCanPlay, an HTML5
  <video> event handler. The native path has no <video> element, so
  `canplay` never fires and that seek never ran.
- NativePlayerAdapter.load() had an initialPosition branch, but it only
  recorded the number, claiming "the native backend performs the actual
  seek internally". It does not: PlayItemRequest carries no start
  position, and loadWithMetadata -> prepare() always starts ExoPlayer at 0.
- VideoPlayer never called adapter.load() at all, so even that branch was
  unreachable.

The frontend therefore believed it had resumed (the seek bar showed the
resume point) while ExoPlayer played from the beginning.

NativePlayerAdapter.load() now issues the backend seek, excluding live
streams (no resume point; seeking knocks the HLS window off its live
edge). VideoPlayer calls it on the native branch and marks the initial
seek as performed so the existing $effect does not fire a duplicate.
The HTML5 path is untouched: seeking before metadata is clamped to 0,
which is exactly what handleCanPlay waits for.

Verified red->green: the new test failed with "Number of calls: 0"
before the fix. Full frontend suite passes (933 tests); svelte-check
and check:boundary are clean.

dtourolle b11188e9dd docs(player): backend unification findings + correct false parity claims
Investigation into unifying the playback backends (Linux/MPV, Android/ExoPlayer,
Windows/webview) onto one engine with hardware acceleration. Conclusion: video
cannot be unified onto a native engine; audio can.

The blocker is not mpv-specific. WebKitGTK, WebView2 and Android WebView each
draw into their own compositor surface, so a native video surface sits either
entirely above or entirely below the webview and cannot interleave with HTML.
GStreamer and libVLC fail identically. mpv would additionally regress streaming:
it has no adaptive bitrate, while the current hls.js path does.

Six specs added:
- playback-backend-unification: the analysis and decision, with evidence
- android-audio-settings-parity: set_audio_settings on ExoPlayerBackend
- android-native-video-spike: timeboxed test of SurfaceView compositing
- windows-native-audio-backend: replace the webview <audio> shim with libmpv
- libmpv2-migration: dead libmpv git pin -> libmpv2, plus a LICENSE file
- playback-docs-corrections: the requirement-status fixes applied here

Corrections to requirements.md, all verified against source:
- UR-031/DR-034 claimed crossfade was "Done (Linux only)". It is implemented
  nowhere (mpv_backend.rs has a bare TODO) and is architecturally blocked on
  mpv, whose single-stream audio chain cannot feed acrossfade's two inputs.
- Parity matrix listed crossfade as a Linux/Android gap; it is neither.
- The matrix omitted the equalizer, which has the same Linux-only shape.
- The suggested ConcatenatingMediaSource is deprecated in current Media3.

nativeAdapter.ts cited tauri#10152 as an upstream blocker for native Android
video. That issue is a stale feature request, dead since 2024-07-01; the
capability shipped in tauri 27d01834 (2024-09-02), and the related
black-screen bug was fixed in wry 0.39.4 (we ship 0.55.x). What is genuinely
unproven is SurfaceView-behind-WebView compositing, which the spike now tracks.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 4.8 a64e1b1fb4 Introduce PlayerAdapter contract; decision logic shared in Rust backend
Establish a decoupled player boundary so UI and backend interact with video
through one contract, with the HTML5 (Linux/interim-Android) and native
(ExoPlayer) providers as interchangeable primitive-executor adapters.

- PlayerAdapter interface + AdapterHost callback bag (adapters/types.ts): the
  adapter owns only decision-free element PRIMITIVES (seekElement, reloadSource,
  play/pause, setVolume, selectSubtitle); it never branches on strategy.
- Seek/audio-track DECISIONS stay in Rust (player_seek_video / _switch_audio_track
  return a strategy); the facade dispatches the chosen primitive to the active
  adapter. Both providers share the one decision path — logic lives once, in Rust.
- Facade holds the active adapter; a new ControlCommand PlayerStatusEvent lets
  backend control (lockscreen/remote/sleep) drive the webview <video> element.
- Html5PlayerAdapter resolves the LIVE element via the bridge (fixes play/pause
  silently no-opping when the element was re-bound).
- Do not emit a "stopped" player state on natural end-of-video: it flipped the
  player/mode to idle mid-handoff and suppressed next-episode auto-advance under
  a sleep timer. Jellyfin progress reporting is preserved; the backend's
  on_video_playback_ended owns the transition.
- VideoPlayer net -300 lines (strategy/HLS-reload logic relocated to the adapter).
- Adds 20 adapter unit tests; existing suites stay green (vitest 457, cargo 416).
