Four fixes in public/index.html, all reported against recaps.cc on mobile:
- Video minimize no longer shows a black frame on expand. toggleVideoMinimize()
used to call render(), rebuilding the YouTube iframe inside the display:none
minimized container, which wedged the IFrame API. Minimize now toggles the
.results-left.minimized class in place; a !videoMinimized guard on render()'s
needsMount plus a new ensureYtMounted() (called from the expand paths) keep the
player from ever being created in a hidden container.
- Background processing no longer interrupts podcast audio or resets the
transcript scroll. The ~60s relay-credit poll calls render(), which rebuilt the
<audio> element and chunks-scroll. render() now preserves the live <audio> node
across the innerHTML swap (replaceWith when the src matches) and restores
chunks-scroll scrollTop; initPodcastPlayer() is idempotent so the preserved node
doesn't get duplicate listeners.
- Removed the redundant centered "Processing..." box; the staged pizza-tracker
breadcrumb already covers that window.
- Added -webkit-overflow-scrolling/overscroll-behavior to .chunks-scroll for the
mobile can't-scroll-to-top report (best-effort, needs on-device verification).
Ships as 0.2.157. Reviewer pass clean; inline JS syntax checked with node --check.
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'.
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).
Two bugs reported in 0.1.16 testing:
1. Library button shows a toast "Library is a paid feature ... Tap
upgrade to unlock" but no Upgrade button is visible anywhere on the
page. The free-tier banner only rendered when isLicensed() was false,
so a licensed-but-missing-entitlements user got the toast directing
them at an invisible button.
2. Clicking the gear (Settings) icon does nothing — the modal never
appears. The Activity Log button works on the same page.
Fix 1: replace the unlicensed-only renderFreeBanner with renderUpgrade
Banner driven by shouldShowUpgradeBanner() = !isProTier(). Copy
adapts by tier:
• Free: "Free mode · one video at a time · no library, no subs"
• Limited license (missing core entitlements): "Limited license
— your license is missing some Core features"
• Core tier: "Core tier — upgrade to Pro for subs, auto-queue,
clips"
Pro tier shows nothing.
Fix 1b: rewordtoasts on Library / Subscribe clicks to drop the
"tap Upgrade" instruction — the persistent banner is the action
path now, no need to direct users at a maybe-not-there button.
Fix 2 (diagnostic): wrap the main app.innerHTML build in try/catch.
A thrown exception in any of the ${...} template substitutions
silently aborts the innerHTML assignment, leaving the previous
DOM in place — which looks exactly like a button doing nothing
when it actually fired and called render(). Now an exception
lands in a visible error-box with the message + console trace,
so the next reproduction tells us what's actually throwing.
The previous free-tier commit (c0975fe) blocked USE_SERVER_KEY for
unlicensed users on the theory that this protected a "bundled key."
That conflated two different things:
• USE_SERVER_KEY = the user's OWN Gemini key, just stored server-side
via the StartOS configuration action (vs. browser localStorage).
Both paths are BYO — the user pays Google directly either way.
• Bundled key = a future relay where paid users' /api/process requests
are proxied through the operator's service and the operator absorbs
the API cost. Sketched in UPGRADE-DESIGN.md (deleted, in git history)
but NOT YET BUILT.
Blocking USE_SERVER_KEY broke a legitimate flow: a free user installs
the app on their own StartOS, sets their Gemini key via the config
action, then summarizes from the web UI without re-entering it.
This commit:
• Drops the BYO/USE_SERVER_KEY rejection in /api/process. Free users
can use a key from either path; the existing `if (!apiKey)` check
still catches the no-key-anywhere case with a helpful message.
• Reverts the frontend submit-button and handleSubmit checks to the
same key requirement for both tiers (state.apiKey OR state.hasServerKey).
• Drops "bundled API key" from the activation-screen subtitle and
"bring your own Gemini key" from the free-mode banner. Until the
relay is built, paid users still BYO too — promising otherwise in
upgrade copy is misleading.
• Keeps the parts that ARE legitimate free-vs-paid differentiators:
the one-at-a-time concurrency lock and skipping saveToHistory.
Also fixes the `make deploy` redundancy:
• bin/bump-version.sh accepts --from-deploy. When set, if there is no
.release-notes-pending.txt (consumed by a prior bump or never
written), exit 0 without prompting — the current version is already
fresh.
• Makefile passes --from-deploy from the deploy target. Standalone
`make bump` is unchanged (always prompts).
Result: `make bump` then `make deploy` no longer double-prompts. And
calling `make deploy` twice in a row (no new work) is idempotent on
the bump step.
Unlicensed users can now summarize a single video at a time using their
own Gemini API key. The result renders in the UI exactly like a paid
summary, but is not persisted — there's no library entry, no history,
and a second submission while one is in flight is rejected.
Server (server/index.js):
• /api/process is now in LICENSE_OPEN_PATHS. The route handler
distinguishes free users (state !== "licensed" || no "core") and:
- rejects USE_SERVER_KEY / empty key with 402 byo_key_required
(so the bundled Gemini key stays paid-only)
- rejects a second concurrent job with 409 processing_in_progress
via a module-level freeJobInFlight flag, released in finally
- skips saveToHistory so the host's library stays clean
• Pro feature gates (history/library/subscriptions) unchanged — still
return 402 feature_not_in_tier for unlicensed callers.
Frontend (public/index.html):
• New state.activationSkipped flag (persisted to localStorage). The
activation screen still appears on first launch, but now offers a
"Skip — use free mode" button alongside Activate / Buy a key.
Once skipped, the main app renders normally.
• Free-mode upgrade banner under the top bar with Upgrade and "I have
a key" buttons (the latter routes back to the activation screen).
• handleLibraryClick / handleSubscribeClick wrappers — for unlicensed
users, the library (clock) icon and the channel-URL Subscribe
submission show a toast explaining the upgrade rather than opening
an empty sidebar / hitting a 402.
• Submit button enforces BYO key for unlicensed users (the bundled
state.hasServerKey doesn't enable submit). handleSubmit shows a
toast when an unlicensed user tries to queue a second video.
Symptom: after a long video finishes processing, the screen goes blank
even though the video and chunks save correctly to history (visible
after a refresh + library click).
Cause: the manual SSE parser in processUrl declared `let eventType = ""`
inside the `while (await reader.read())` loop, so the variable reset on
every chunk. The server emits each event as a single write of
`event: X\ndata: Y\n\n`, but for a long video the result payload (entries
+ chunks + logs) is tens of KB and gets split across reader chunks by
the browser. When the split landed between the `event: result\n` line
and the `data: ...` line, the event type was lost and `handleSSE("",
data)` matched no branch — the result event was silently dropped, and
state.chunks stayed at the empty array set during processUrl reset.
Fix: hoist eventType outside the loop so it persists across chunks, and
reset it after each dispatch (per the SSE spec, event type returns to
default after an event is fired).
Short videos with small result payloads fit in a single chunk and so
were unaffected — which is why the bug looked intermittent.
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.
