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).
The Keysat client's payload exposes both:
• licenseId — raw 16-byte UUID as Uint8Array
• licenseUuid — same value, canonical string form
server/license.js was sending licenseId (the Uint8Array). After JSON
serialization that turned into an object like {"0":1,"1":2,...} on
the wire. The frontend's renderLicenseBlock() calls
`lic.licenseId.slice(0, 8)` to abbreviate the ID for display — .slice
doesn't exist on that object, so the template threw, the
app.innerHTML assignment silently aborted, and clicking the gear
looked like a no-op.
The render error guard added in 0.1.17 caught it on first repro:
Render error: lic.licenseId.slice is not a function
Fix: switch to payload.licenseUuid (the string form).
Without this, a license revoked in the Keysat admin UI keeps unlocking
the app on the customer's machine — Ed25519 signatures are perpetually
valid, so the offline-only check never sees the revocation.
What this adds:
• license.js: validateOnline() calls licensing.keysat.xyz/v1/validate
via @keysat/licensing-client's Client. Hard rejections (revoked,
suspended, expired, not_found, product_mismatch, fingerprint_mismatch,
too_many_machines, invalid_state) immediately flip state to "invalid"
and persist the verdict to <license>.state.json so it survives
restarts. rate_limited and unknown reasons are treated as transient.
• Network errors keep the prior state for up to MAX_OFFLINE_DAYS
(default 7, env-overridable) since the last successful validate.
Past the ceiling, lock out with reason=validation_overdue. This
avoids breaking customers when Keysat is briefly down while still
catching revocations on machines that go offline forever.
• license.js: deactivate() helper that removes both license.txt and
its sidecar state file (idempotent). publicView() now exposes
lastValidatedAt, serverStatus, graceUntil for the UI.
• index.js: refreshLicenseOnline() runs on startup (async, non-
blocking), every 6h thereafter (env-overridable), and at activation
time with an 8s timeout cap so a slow Keysat doesn't hang the
activation UI. State changes are logged.
• index.js: /api/license/activate now awaits an online confirmation
after the offline signature check passes. A revoked key pasted into
the activation modal fails fast instead of working until the next
poll.
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.
