The project shipped signed Android builds and unsigned desktop binaries
with no vulnerability scanning of any kind. Nothing checked the ~500
crate Rust graph or the JS packages against an advisory feed, and nothing
checked that what we redistribute inside an MIT bundle permits it.
The first cargo-deny run found eight vulnerabilities and one
unsoundness -- bytes, four in rustls-webpki, time, two in quick-xml and
rand -- every one of them closed by a `cargo update` nobody had a reason
to run. That update is in this commit; 740 Rust tests and clippy
-D warnings pass on the new lockfile.
Two structural fixes matter as much as the gate itself:
- deny.toml scopes the graph to the targets we actually ship. Without
it the Apple targets pull in plist -> quick-xml and report two DoS
advisories against a crate that is in no binary we release. Ignoring
those by ID would silence them everywhere, including where they
would matter; scoping makes them correctly absent.
- libmpv is pinned by rev instead of branch = "master". A branch means
the revision is whatever Cargo.lock happens to hold and any
`cargo update` silently substitutes new upstream code -- in the one
dependency that is not from crates.io and that links a C library
into the player. The rev is the commit already locked, so this pins
current behaviour rather than changing it.
Licence findings are recorded rather than waved through. libmpv and
libmpv-sys are LGPL-2.1, satisfied here by dynamic linking against the
system library; deny.toml carries the two obligations that follow (keep
the linkage dynamic, ship libmpv's licence text with any bundle carrying
the .so). MPL-2.0 crates are file-level copyleft and fine unmodified.
Releases now publish SHA256SUMS (verified in-job with `sha256sum -c`
before upload) and a CycloneDX SBOM for both halves, so "does this
release contain <vulnerable crate>?" has an answer that is not "rebuild
the tag and re-resolve it".
Workflows pin jellytau-builder:2026.08 instead of :latest. While every
job said :latest, rebuilding the image changed what every build compiled
against, including rebuilds of old release tags.
Also folded in, because both were the same class of problem:
- publish-docs.yml downloaded mdBook from GitHub releases into
/usr/local/bin at job time -- a toolchain install in CI, which
CLAUDE.md explicitly forbids, and a hard dependency on GitHub's CDN
at publish time. It is in the builder image now.
- extract-traces.ts only ever read .ts/.svelte/.rs, so every
requirement implemented by *configuration* was invisible to the
matrix that measures it. DR-205, DR-206, DR-207 and DR-215 all carry
TRACES comments nothing read, and each counted as uncovered while
being covered. Coverage was really 90%, not 88%; MIN_THRESHOLD moves
to 89 accordingly. CI workflows stay excluded and there is a test
saying why: traceability-check.yml quotes "a TRACES: comment" beside
deliberately-undefined example IDs, which the extractor would read
as real traces and then fail its own dangling-ID check.
Supply-chain requirement is DR-216.
🔴 The builder image must be rebuilt and pushed
(scripts/build-builder-image.sh 2026.08) before this reaches master --
the workflows now name a tag and tools that do not exist in the registry
yet.

# JellyTau
|
|
|
|
A cross-platform Jellyfin client. Business logic lives in a Rust backend
|
|
(`src-tauri/`); a SvelteKit + TypeScript frontend (`src/`) handles presentation
|
|
and talks to it over Tauri v2 IPC. Targets **Linux** (libmpv, WebKitGTK HTML5
|
|
`<video>` for transcoded playback) and **Android** (ExoPlayer).
|
|
|
|
Package manager is **bun**.
|
|
|
|
## Build / Run / Test
|
|
|
|
All routine tasks go through `package.json` scripts and helper scripts in
|
|
`scripts/`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bun install # install deps
|
|
bun run dev # vite dev server (frontend)
|
|
bun run tauri dev # run the desktop app
|
|
|
|
bun run check # svelte-check (types)
|
|
bun run test # vitest (frontend unit/integration)
|
|
bun run test:rust # cargo test (scripts/test-rust.sh)
|
|
bun run test:all # full suite (scripts/test-all.sh)
|
|
bun run lint # eslint (src/, scripts/, root configs)
|
|
bun run format:check # prettier
|
|
|
|
# Android — canonical entry points (see scripts/):
|
|
bun run android:build # debug APK
|
|
bun run android:build:release # release APK
|
|
bun run android:deploy # install to connected device
|
|
bun run android:dev # build + deploy
|
|
bun run android:logs # logcat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The **debug** build type carries `applicationIdSuffix ".debug"`, so
|
|
`com.dtourolle.jellytau.debug` ("JellyTau Debug") installs *alongside* a release
|
|
build with its own data dir — never uninstall the release app to test a debug
|
|
one. `./scripts/build-and-deploy.sh release --device --debug` puts an
|
|
R8-minified *release* build in that same slot, signed with the local debug
|
|
keystore, for validating minification without the real key. Only the
|
|
applicationId is suffixed; Kotlin classes stay in the `namespace` package
|
|
`com.dtourolle.jellytau`, so JNI lookups and R8 keep rules are unaffected. See
|
|
[README_ANDROID_BUILD.md](src-tauri/android/README_ANDROID_BUILD.md).
|
|
|
|
CI runs on **Gitea Actions** (`.gitea/workflows/`), not GitHub. Use the `gh` CLI
|
|
only against the mirror if one exists; the canonical remote is
|
|
`gitea.tourolle.paris`.
|
|
|
|
> **🔴 CI installs no system tools.** Never add an `apt-get`, `rustup`,
|
|
> `sdkmanager`, mingw/nsis, or any other *toolchain/system-package* install to a
|
|
> CI workflow step. Every build, test, and packaging **tool** must already live
|
|
> in the Docker image the job runs in — the unified builder (`Dockerfile.builder`
|
|
> → `gitea.tourolle.paris/dtourolle/jellytau-builder`) for Android/Linux/Windows,
|
|
> or `Dockerfile.arch` for Arch. If a job needs a tool the image lacks, **add it
|
|
> to the image, rebuild + push it** (`scripts/build-builder-image.sh`), and use
|
|
> it from CI — do not install it at job time. This keeps builds reproducible and
|
|
> fast, and is why the packaging stages are thin `FROM ${BUILDER_IMAGE}` layers.
|
|
>
|
|
> `bun install` (fetching the project's own JS deps per the lockfile) is **not**
|
|
> a violation — that's project dependencies, not a toolchain. The rule is about
|
|
> system tools, not npm/bun/cargo *packages* declared by the project.

|
|
|
## Before Committing
|
|
|
|
- Frontend: `bun run check`, `bun run test`, `bun run format:check` and
|
|
`bun run lint` (0 errors; the warning count is a CI ratchet) must pass.
|
|
- Rust: `cd src-tauri && cargo fmt` then `cargo clippy`, plus `bun run test:rust`.
|
|
- **Boundary**: `bun run check:boundary` must pass — no domain taxonomy (Jellyfin
|
|
item-type category sets) leaked into the frontend. See below.
|
|
- **Traceability**: new requirement-implementing code must carry a `// TRACES:`
|
|
comment (see below).
|
|
- **Android source edits**: edit `src-tauri/android/src` (the canonical tree),
|
|
then run `scripts/sync-android-sources.sh` to sync into the `gen/` tree.
|
|
Never edit the generated `gen/` sources directly.
|
|
|
|
## Traceability (TRACES)
|
|
|
|
This project practices requirement-driven development: code that implements a
|
|
requirement is tagged with a `TRACES:` comment linking it to requirement IDs, and
|
|
an extraction tool builds the traceability matrix. **When you add or change code
|
|
that implements a requirement, add/update its TRACES comment.** Internal helpers
|
|
and requirement-less code stay untraced.
|
|
|
|
Format — `// TRACES: <URs> | <DRs> | <tests>`, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
/// TRACES: UR-005 | DR-001
|
|
pub enum PlayerState { … }
|
|
```
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// TRACES: UR-005, UR-026 | DR-029
|
|
export function autoplayNextEpisode() { }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
ID types: **UR** user requirement, **IR** integration, **DR** development, **JA**
|
|
Jellyfin API, **UT** unit test, **IT** integration test. Requirements are defined
|
|
in [docs/requirements.md](docs/requirements.md); the generated matrix is
|
|
[docs/traceability.md](docs/traceability.md).
|
|
|
|
Tooling:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bun run traces # extract traces (default format)
|
|
bun run traces:json # JSON — e.g. | jq '.byType' or '.requirements."UR-005"'
|
|
bun run traces:markdown # regenerate docs/traceability.md
|
|
bun run traces:coverage # coverage gate — exits non-zero below the threshold
|
|
bun run traces:validate # dangling-ID gate — every traced ID must be defined
|
|
git diff --name-only | xargs grep -L "TRACES:" # find untraced changed files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Every ID a `TRACES:` comment names must exist as a table row in
|
|
`docs/requirements.md` — `traces:validate` fails otherwise, so a typo or a
|
|
rename that missed a call site can no longer pass silently.
|
|
|
|
**CI is Gitea Actions** (`.gitea/workflows/`, remote `gitea.tourolle.paris`), not
|
|
GitHub. `traceability-check.yml` fails the build if coverage drops below
|
|
**89%** (`MIN_THRESHOLD`, a *ratchet* — raise it as coverage climbs, never lower
|
|
it to make a build pass) or if any traced ID is undefined; `build-and-test.yml`
|
|
runs frontend tests **with coverage thresholds**, `bun run check`, `format:check`,
|
|
a `--max-warnings` eslint ratchet, Rust tests, `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy
|
|
-D warnings`, and an Android `cargo check`. See
|
|
[docs/traceability-ci.md](docs/traceability-ci.md)
|
|
and [docs/traces-quick-ref.md](docs/traces-quick-ref.md).
|
|
|
|
### Traces drive release notes
|
|
|
|
Prefer traceability over raw commit subjects when writing release notes for
|
|
[docs/release-checklist.md](docs/release-checklist.md). Raw `git log` subjects are
|
|
noisy; the TRACES graph gives a semantic summary of *what capabilities* the
|
|
release touched.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bun run release:notes # <latest tag>..HEAD
|
|
bun run release:notes v0.0.15..HEAD # explicit range
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[scripts/release-notes.ts](scripts/release-notes.ts) resolves a commit range's
|
|
changed files → their `TRACES:` IDs → descriptions in
|
|
[docs/requirements.md](docs/requirements.md), then groups **UR** into *Features*
|
|
and **DR/IR** into *Improvements* (deduped, so many commits touching one
|
|
requirement collapse to one line). It also lists changed files that carry no
|
|
TRACES so nothing is silently dropped — those still need a manual line. Treat the
|
|
output as a reviewed draft, not a final changelog.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
- **Rust backend** (`src-tauri/src/`) — all business logic: auth, catalog,
|
|
sessions, downloads, offline cache, playback control. Commands grouped by
|
|
domain in `src-tauri/src/commands/` (`auth.rs`, `catalog.rs`, `player/`,
|
|
`download/`, `offline.rs`, `sessions.rs`, …).
|
|
- **Svelte frontend** (`src/`) — presentation only. Stores in
|
|
`src/lib/stores/`, API wrappers in `src/lib/api/`, components in
|
|
`src/lib/components/`.
|
|
- **Playback layers** — Linux uses libmpv for direct playback and a WebKitGTK
|
|
HTML5 `<video>` element for HLS-transcoded (h264) streams; Android uses
|
|
ExoPlayer with a foreground media service + `MediaSessionCompat`.
|
|
- **tauri-specta** generates TypeScript bindings and typed events from the Rust
|
|
command/event definitions (registered via the Builder in `src-tauri/src/lib.rs`).
|
|
|
|
**Read the architecture docs before making structural changes** — they are the
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Core principles (from the architecture docs)
|
|
|
|
- **Playback state is one-directional.** The player (ExoPlayer on Android, MPV on
|
|
Linux, session poller in remote mode) is the **authoritative source** of state
|
|
— position, pause, seeking, rate, track changes. The Svelte UI, OS
|
|
`MediaSession`/lockscreen, and MPRIS are **consumers**; they reflect what the
|
|
player reports and never determine it.
|
|
- **Unified player boundary.** UI controls playback *only* through the frontend
|
|
facade `src/lib/player/index.ts` (`playerController`) — never by calling
|
|
`commands.player*` directly. Webview HTML5 `<video>` reports its state back
|
|
into Rust via `src/lib/player/html5Adapter.ts` and the `player_report_*`
|
|
commands, so the controller stays the single source of truth in both native
|
|
and HTML5 modes.
|
|
- **Reachability from real traffic.** Server online/offline is derived from the
|
|
outcome of actual repository requests (reported to `ConnectivityMonitor`), not
|
|
a side-channel poller. The `/System/Info/Public` probe runs *only while
|
|
offline*, as a recovery detector.
|
|
- **Poison-tolerant locking.** Access shared `std::sync` state via the
|
|
`MutexSafe`/`RwLockSafe` helpers in `utils/lock.rs`, which recover a poisoned
|
|
lock instead of cascading a panic across the player.
|
|
- **Graceful backend init.** If a native player backend fails to initialize, the
|
|
app falls back to a no-op backend and emits `backend-init-failed` rather than
|
|
crashing.
|
|
- **Domain vocabulary lives in Rust.** The frontend is presentation-only and must
|
|
not encode Jellyfin's *taxonomy* — e.g. the set of item types that defines a
|
|
category like "Music". Send an opaque scope/enum across the boundary and let the
|
|
backend expand it. Single-type presentation (`itemType: "Movie"`, "this page
|
|
shows albums") is fine; a *category → set of types* mapping in `src/` is a leak.
|
|
`bun run check:boundary` is the tripwire; the real gate is the spec's layer
|
|
assignment. The canonical example lives in Rust:
|
|
`SearchScope::item_types()` in `repository/types.rs` expands an opaque scope the
|
|
frontend sends. See [scoped-search-boundary.md](docs/specs/scoped-search-boundary.md)
|
|
for the incident this rule came from — note the tripwire missed that leak for
|
|
months because the mapping was assigned to a named const rather than written
|
|
inline at the query, so **a green `check:boundary` is not proof**; it flags
|
|
item-type array literals only, not run-time-built sets or `switch`/`||`
|
|
taxonomy.
|
|
|
|
## Writing specs
|
|
|
|
New feature specs go in [docs/specs/](docs/specs/) — see its
|
|
[README](docs/specs/README.md) for the index and what is already built.
|
|
**Start from
|
|
[SPEC-TEMPLATE.md](docs/specs/SPEC-TEMPLATE.md)** — its "Layer assignment" section
|
|
forces each piece of *logic* to be placed in the correct layer (Rust = domain,
|
|
frontend = presentation) *with a reason*, which is what prevents boundary leaks.
|
|
Before accepting a spec, run it past
|
|
[SPEC-REVIEW-CHECKLIST.md](docs/specs/SPEC-REVIEW-CHECKLIST.md). Do **not** frame
|
|
a spec around "no Rust changes required" — correct layer placement is the goal,
|
|
not minimal backend churn.
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
|
|
### Rust Backend
|
|
|
|
- Use `#[tauri::command]` for all IPC handlers.
|
|
- Prefer `async` commands for I/O-bound work.
|
|
- Return `Result<T, String>` from commands (the established convention here).
|
|
- Use `tauri::State<>` for shared state.
|
|
- Group related commands in domain modules under `commands/`.
|
|
- Use official Tauri plugins before writing custom native code.
|
|
|
|
### Frontend
|
|
|
|
- Use `invoke<T>()` from `@tauri-apps/api/core`, or the tauri-specta bindings.
|
|
- Define TS types matching the Rust structs; prefer the generated bindings.
|
|
- Handle IPC errors with try/catch.
|
|
- Use `@tauri-apps/api/path` for paths (never hardcode).
|
|
- Use `@tauri-apps/api/event` for backend→frontend events.
|
|
|
|
### 🔴 IPC parameter naming (Tauri v2)
|
|
|
|
The command **name** must match the Rust function name exactly
|
|
(`invoke("player_play_queue", …)`). But **parameter names do NOT** — Tauri v2's
|
|
`#[tauri::command]` macro auto-converts snake_case Rust params to **camelCase**
|
|
on the frontend:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
#[tauri::command]
|
|
pub async fn cmd(repository_handle: String) { … }
|
|
```
|
|
```typescript
|
|
await invoke("cmd", { repositoryHandle: "…" }); // camelCase, auto-converted
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Nested struct fields need `#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]`; tagged unions use
|
|
`#[serde(tag = "type")]` and both sides must match the tag. Note: tauri-specta
|
|
tagged responses keep the Rust field names as-is (e.g. `new_url`, not `newUrl`).
|
|
|
|
### Events
|
|
|
|
- Backend events use **kebab-case** names (`download-event`, `search-event`).
|
|
- Emit from Rust via `emit(...)`; consume on the frontend via
|
|
`@tauri-apps/api/event` or the tauri-specta typed event bindings.
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
|
|
- Declare minimum permissions in `src-tauri/capabilities/`.
|
|
- Keep the CSP restrictive in `tauri.conf.json`.
|
|
- Validate all inputs in Rust command handlers.
|
|
- **Never read credentials** (tokens/keys from keyring, env, or stores) without
|
|
asking the user first.
|
|
|
|
## Gotchas (hard-won)
|
|
|
|
- **Never call sync/blocking APIs from event callbacks** that can re-enter the
|
|
player or hold a lock — it deadlocks. On Android, bind a locked
|
|
`AutoplayDecision` to a `let` *before* matching; a tokio `MutexGuard` held in
|
|
the `match` scrutinee deadlocks the `AdvanceToNext` arm.
|
|
- **VideoPlayer native mode**: no lifecycle calls after an `await` in `onMount`
|
|
(it flips to HTML5 mode and breaks Android seek).
|
|
- **Transcoded resume/seek**: `get_video_stream_url` must return the HLS
|
|
`master.m3u8`, not `stream.mp4`, or transcoded playback never starts.
|
|
- **Downloads** cap at 3 concurrent; the backend pump auto-starts pending rows.
|
|
Don't loop `startDownload` from the frontend.
|
|
- **Parallel Claude sessions**: the user may run concurrent sessions. Unexpected
|
|
file changes may be another session — check `git diff` before "repairing".
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
### 🔴 Bug fixes: failing test FIRST, then the fix
|
|
|
|
When fixing a bug, **write a test that reproduces it and watch it fail before
|
|
touching the fix.** Red → green, in that order:
|
|
|
|
1. Write a test that exercises the broken behavior and **run it — it must fail**,
|
|
proving the test actually catches the bug (a test that passes before the fix
|
|
proves nothing).
|
|
2. Apply the fix.
|
|
3. Re-run — the test now passes, and so does the rest of the suite.
|
|
|
|
Never fix first and backfill the test afterward: a test written against
|
|
already-fixed code can pass for the wrong reason and silently fails to guard the
|
|
regression. If the logic is buried in a component, extract the pure part into a
|
|
plain `.ts` module (e.g. `episodeStrip.ts`) so it can be unit-tested — the same
|
|
pattern as `TrackList.logic.test.ts`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Rust
|
|
cd src-tauri && cargo test
|
|
cd src-tauri && cargo test test_name # single test
|
|
|
|
# Frontend
|
|
bun run test
|
|
bun run test:coverage
|
|
|
|
# Tauri IPC param-naming integration tests (guard the camelCase rule):
|
|
bun run test -- tauriIntegration.test.ts
|
|
```
|
