iPad users hit a spurious "network error" on the first tap of
"Send sign-in link", with a second tap succeeding. Cause is iOS
Safari dispatching the POST onto a pooled keep-alive socket the
server/proxy already closed; unlike a GET it isn't transparently
re-sent, so it surfaces as a transport TypeError. The single 500ms
auto-retry was too quick and reused the same dead socket.
Both sign-in entry points (auth.html postWithRetry, index.html
fetchWithRetry) now retry 3x with growing backoff (0 -> +400ms ->
+1.6s) to outlast Safari evicting the socket. Frontend-only.
Ships as 0.2.156.
Captures roughly forty version bumps (v0.2.6 → v0.2.47) of work that
accumulated without commits.
- Pluggable provider system under server/providers/: gemini, anthropic,
openai, openai-compatible, ollama, whisper-compatible, relay. Mix and
match transcription + analysis per request via the picker UI.
- Relay backend integration. Hardcoded relay URL in server/relay-default.js
(operator-controlled at build time, not user-configurable). New
/api/relay/{status,policy} endpoints proxy to the relay; balance pings
populate a cached credit display.
- Per-install identity in server/install-id.js for relay credit accounting.
Sent to the relay as X-Recap-Install-Id; persists across upgrades, lost
on a full uninstall + reinstall. Not surfaced in the UI.
- Admin login gate (server/admin-auth.js + setAdminPassword action). Scrypt
password hash + HMAC-signed session cookie.
- Entitlement scheme rename: pro / max (each paired with subscriptions and
relay_pro / relay_max), replacing the misleading "core" entitlement
that conflicted with the user-facing "Core" tier name.
- Activation screen: dynamic credit count pulled from /api/relay/policy,
"Skip — use free mode" button, accurate paid-feature list.
- Top toolbar: inline credit-balance pill (or "BYO configured" fallback),
Upgrade + "I have a key" buttons.
- Picker UI: per-provider sections with Save/Test/Delete buttons, sections
collapsible by chevron, default-collapsed unless currently selected,
"Use comped credits (reset to relay)" link when the user has strayed,
green hint under inputs whose values are server-configured.
- Activity log: chevron-collapsible groups per video, refresh-survival via
localStorage + a 500-entry server-side buffer, explicit Clear button.
- YouTube captions fast-path with user toggle (skips audio download + AI
transcription when captions are available — uncheck for speaker labels).
- Cancel button: AbortController plumbed through every provider SDK call;
retryAPI short-circuits on AbortError; cancellation events surface in
the activity log instead of silent retries.
- Long-video analysis: auto-coalesce transcript entries before building the
analysis prompt so local-model context windows (32k-ish) don't overflow.
Original entries preserved for transcript display via an index map; the
analyzer sees a coarser view but click-to-seek timestamps stay precise.
- StartOS action grouping (Setup / AI Providers) so the actions list is
navigable.
- Manifest description rewritten to reflect multi-provider support and
free-tier relay credits.
- Smaller fixes: summarize-button enablement no longer requires a Gemini
key when other providers are configured; analysis fallback chain handles
context-length and 503 capacity errors; single-segment expansion for
providers that don't return per-segment timestamps (Parakeet et al.);
many other UX polish items.
Two related changes:
1. New StartOS action: 'Set Recap License'
Symmetric with the existing 'Set Gemini API Key' action — paste a
LIC1-... key into the StartOS Actions menu and it gets persisted.
Added because some users prefer the StartOS form for credentials
over the in-app activation modal.
Implementation:
• startos/file-models/config.json.ts: schema gains recap_license_key
• startos/actions/setLicense.ts: input form (masked, regex-checks
for the LIC1- prefix), persists via configFile.merge()
• startos/actions/index.ts: registers the new action
• server/license.js: readLicenseString() falls back to
startos-config.json after the legacy license.txt path. Resolution
order: env → license.txt → startos-config.json
• server/license-middleware.js: faster license-file poll (30 s,
env-overridable RECAP_LICENSE_FILE_POLL_MS) re-runs checkLicense
so action-set keys take effect within seconds, not the 6 h online
cycle. If the new key parses as 'licensed', kicks an immediate
online check to confirm.
2. Copy fix: 'Keysat license' → 'Recap license' in user-facing text
Keysat is the licensing system underneath, but customers buy a
'Recap license'. Updated:
• Activation screen subtitle (public/index.html)
• 402 message in the activation gate (server/license-middleware.js)
Internal references (PRODUCT_SLUG, KEYSAT_BASE_URL, the issuer.pub
filename, the 'Issuer: licensing.keysat.xyz' display in the
activation card) stay as Keysat — those are accurate.
Smoke tested locally: starting the server with no license, then
writing a fake LIC1-... key into startos-config.json, the
license-file poll picks it up within ~2 s and transitions state from
'unlicensed' to 'invalid' (since the fake key fails Ed25519
verification, as expected). With a real key, the same path would land
in 'licensed'.
Live-reload of the Gemini API key, and fix a startup-crash bug in
0.2.0 / 0.2.1 where the vendored keysat client could not resolve its
@noble/* deps inside the running container.
Old: Download, transcribe, and summarize YouTube videos and podcasts
with AI.
New: Turn videos and podcasts into structured topic summaries with
clickable timestamps.
Updated in both the StartOS manifest (startos/manifest/i18n.ts) and
the registry card (startos-registry/packages/recap/package.json).
Renamed to Recap. New StartOS package id, new Keysat product slug,
new display name everywhere user-visible. StartOS will treat this as
a fresh install.
The product was always more than YouTube — it handles podcast feeds
too, and the upcoming multi-provider work makes it less Gemini-
specific. New name: Recap.
This is a coordinated identity change across:
• StartOS package id: youtube-summarizer → recap
(manifest.id; the .s9pk filename, Docker image namespace, and
install path under StartOS all derive from this automatically)
• Display name: "YouTube Summarizer" → "Recap"
(manifest title, activation screen heading, page <title>, console
log on boot, i18n strings, ABOUT.md, Dockerfile header,
docker_entrypoint banner)
• Keysat product slug: youtube-summarizer → recap
(server/license.js PRODUCT_SLUG; frontend fallback strings)
• Daemon subscription id: youtube-summarizer-sub → recap-sub
• Env var prefix: YT_SUMMARIZER_* → RECAP_*
(LICENSE_KEY, LICENSE_KEY_PATH, MAX_OFFLINE_DAYS,
VALIDATE_INTERVAL_MS)
• localStorage keys: yt-summarizer-* → recap-*
(gemini-key, activation-skipped, clips)
• Library export filename: youtube-summarizer-library.json →
recap-library.json
• npm package names: youtube-summarizer-{startos,server} → recap-*
• Deploy paths: youtube-summarizer_x86_64.s9pk → recap_x86_64.s9pk
(default values in bin/deploy.sh; .deploy.env on dev machine
needs the same update before next push)
• Self-hosted registry directory: startos-registry/packages/
youtube-summarizer → .../recap (with package.json + INSTRUCTIONS
rewritten)
What does NOT change:
• Filesystem repo path (still /Users/.../youtube-summarizer/)
• Git history / commit messages
• Existing version files in startos/versions/ (kept as-is — the
version chain belongs to the package's own history regardless of
its display name)
User-side follow-ups required:
1. Create "recap" product in Keysat admin, set up Core/Pro tier
policies (same entitlements as before), mint a fresh test
license. Old "youtube-summarizer" licenses won't activate
against the new slug.
2. Update .deploy.env (gitignored) so FILEBROWSER_PATH and
REGISTRY_PUBLIC_URL point at recap_x86_64.s9pk.
StartOS will treat this as a brand-new app on install — existing
youtube-summarizer installs will not auto-migrate (acknowledged
intentional given no real users yet).
Release notes:
Add free mode for unlicensed users (one video at a time, no library).
Online license revocation check via Keysat /v1/validate.
Fix blank-screen bug after processing long videos.
Ship deploy-script polish (no double-bump prompt).
Snapshot of the working tree before cleanup. Captures:
- Keysat licensing: server/license.js, /api/license/* endpoints in
server/index.js, activation modal in public/index.html, embedded
Ed25519 issuer key (assets/issuer.pub).
- StartOS 0.4 expansion: setApiKey action, version files v0.1.1
through v0.1.15, file-models/config.json.ts, manifest updates.
- Self-hosted registry server (startos-registry/).
- Build/deploy scripts (bin/bump-version.sh, bin/deploy.sh, vendored
yt-dlp binary), .gitignore, .deploy.env.example.
- Recent design docs (KEYSAT_INTEGRATION.md, UPGRADE-DESIGN.md) —
retained here so they remain recoverable when removed in the
follow-up cleanup commit.
