Player update verification report

Implementation started October 4, 2026 from the reviewed player plan. Implementation and available acceptance are complete. The final reviewed repairs pass a clean solution build and all 1,629 Web tests; 57 Node behavior checks and 24 JavaScript syntax checks pass. The earlier full solution gate passed 4,912 with zero failures and 34 skips. Popover focus and owned-episode startup defects are repaired and browser-confirmed. Platform checks marked unverified are not passes; historical failed captures remain evidence of defects subsequently repaired.

Product-owner walkthrough

  1. The audio dock sits flush against the bottom edge. Desktop/tablet Close stops the session and retains resume/history; phone Collapse returns to browsing while audio continues. WP1/WP3/WP5.
  2. Queue, Chapters, Lyrics and History open over browsing or inside Now Playing, without resizing the page. WP1/WP3/WP4.
  3. The phone and popup share the full-player experience. Only the phone has Collapse; the popup relies on native window closure and keeps main audio playing. WP5.
  4. Video has quieter controls, anchored tools, real owned episode/chapter context and guarded next-episode transitions. WP1/WP2.

The shared playback owner, persistent audio/video elements, profile authorization, bookmarks, sleep deadline and ingestion tools remain authoritative. Mockup navigation and sample catalogue content are outside scope.

Baseline

  • Checkout at implementation baseline: b216c267 (Record completed integration cleanup and player plan roster). Earlier review notes referenced 86abe012; intervening integration was committed before implementation began. No existing application edits were replaced.
  • Runtime process check: no MediaEngine.Api or MediaEngine.Web processes were running before development.
  • SDK: 10.0.401, accepted by global.json roll-forward from 10.0.100.
  • Restore succeeded. The first restricted attempt could not read the user's NuGet configuration; the narrowly escalated restore completed using the existing configuration/feed.
  • dotnet build MediaEngine.slnx --no-restore: 0 warnings, 0 errors. A transient build-cache access retry recovered.
  • Targeted Web tests (Playback, Listen, Context): 271 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped.
  • Baseline logs: %TEMP%/tuvima-player-baseline-restore-2026-10-04-escalated.log, tuvima-player-baseline-build-2026-10-04.log, tuvima-player-baseline-targeted-tests-2026-10-04.log.
  • All seventeen supplied reference files exist and their raster dimensions match the reviewed plan. They are visual targets, not runtime test evidence.

Isolation and evidence

The baseline fixture is tools/reports/home-media-cards-visual/fixture-player-2026-10-04; the acceptance fixture is its separate sibling tools/reports/home-media-cards-visual/fixture-player-2026-10-04-final. Both were initialized through the existing protected setup harness. Each has its own database, configuration, protection keys and media, no watched folders, disabled AI downloads and disabled external providers. Neither uses the user's catalogue. The player extension creates actual 180-second local files, real embedded audiobook/movie chapters and local LRC/VTT tracks. Baseline music has one track. The final fixture has four owned music tracks and actual ffprobe inspection stored against each file's content hash; this resolves the baseline fixture's missing technical inspection.

Runtime screenshots and companion metadata stay outside Git at C:/Users/shaya/.codex/visualizations/2026/10/04/01a10503-54ed-79a2-be85-4fdf7488c483/player-update. No private fixture authentication or signed media URLs belong in this report.

Only the Chromium-based in-app browser is currently available. Firefox, WebKit and native iOS/Android validation remain pending unless a suitable surface becomes available. Raster reference dimensions do not establish CSS viewport or device pixel ratio.

Package outcomes

Package gates below retain their own historical counts; WP6 and the final paragraphs record the complete current affected gate.

Agent assignments

The main chat owns integration and acceptance; its proposed model is GPT-6.1 Sol/high, without claiming a model change in this chat. Actual subagents dispatched so far: player_explorer GPT-6 Luna/medium (read only), player_verifier GPT-6 Luna/high (build/test), player_ui_reviewer GPT-6.1 Sol/high (browser/evidence), player_foundation_worker GPT-6.1 Sol/high (WP1 and reused for WP2), and player_audio_worker GPT-6.1 Sol/high (WP3–WP5). The same roles resumed after the user's resume instruction. Roles do not imply independently configured sandbox isolation. At most three active agents including the orchestrator; one application-writing worker at a time. The one-time player_final_reviewer GPT-6 Astra/high integrated review ran after the clean full gate. It found one P2 popover outside-dismiss focus defect and no additional high-confidence blocking finding in the reviewed ownership, continuity, navigation, Close or video-context paths. Audio owns its narrow repair; only that repair receives a follow-up review.

Execution deviation: the runtime rejected creation of player_video_worker with “agent thread limit reached.” After the verifier ended, the existing Sol/high foundation worker resumed as the sole WP2 writer. Its model/effort and sequential write boundary remain the planned video assignment. WP1's initial browser gate was unavailable: CUA returned an empty browser inventory and rejected supported IAB creation; opening through Codex returned queued. See external wp1-ui-review.md. The later enabled browser checks through WP2–WP5 supersede that initial limitation.

The full baseline inventory is in the external baseline-findings.md. It records a 340px content-width loss when Queue opens, a session-stopping Close action in the phone mini dock, unsynchronized main-window lyrics, duplicated popup composition and a video-close render error. B17 records that existing error rather than a passing surface. Native popup window closure/refusal and live Ingestion sidebar activity were unavailable; manually opening the normal popup route did receive owner snapshots.

WP1 adds guarded direct/broadcast command sinks, stable queue occurrence IDs, deduplication, transient tool coordination, popover/tooltip/chrome foundations, icon-only controls, fullscreen support and chapter propagation. The initial verification found MudBlazor test API/import and UI harness/obsolete-label assertion failures. These were corrected without weakening queue, responsive panel, bookmark or sleep behavior checks. Final logs: %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp1-final-web-tests-2026-10-04.log, tuvima-player-wp1-final-build-2026-10-04.log, and tuvima-player-wp1-contract-tests-2026-10-04.log. Shared full-player sinks contain no session exit or presentation actions. Existing native popup cleanup emission is ignored by the legacy state listener; WP5 will reconcile passive cleanup without introducing an exit action.

Read-only WP4/WP5 exploration confirmed that no selected lyric-version field/event exists in current snapshots; popup choice is circuit-local. The approved requirement to preserve a non-preferred version across windows therefore needs a small guarded presentation-selection mechanism. It must remain separate from playback transport and from the explicit saved preferred-version API. This integration refinement is recorded in the plan rather than silently replacing version choice with saved preference.

The same exploration found same-window identity anchors in the old popup. Navigating them enters a normal route with MainLayout and risks mounting a second audio host. WP5 will route canonical identity/item navigation through the main owner's normal SPA navigation, retaining the popup route. A full opener page reload is excluded because it would restart the persistent host.

WP2 is frozen for automated verification. It adds persistent-session video metadata, owned-only episode context, actual chapter ticks, compact tools, idle chrome and a captured-identity end-card clock. Native ended and the countdown share one guarded transition. Explicit episode-still fields prevent show-art fallback from being presented as an episode picture. Video Back captures the current position, saves a paused resume heartbeat and rechecks the session before closing. Runtime checks have not yet passed. Browser access returned in the root chat after WP1's gate; the UI-review worker still sees an empty inventory, so the root will perform rendered verification through its available IAB surface.

WP3 review confirmed that the old audio dock Close does not explicitly flush the final resume position. Its implementation must save the captured native position without marking completion, then recheck profile/work/asset/request before stopping. Saved backend history and bookmarks are distinct from the in-memory session History that the existing Close path clears.

The first WP2 gate built with 0 warnings/errors and passed 312 targeted Web tests plus 3 Node behavior tests and all changed JavaScript syntax checks. Five API assertions exposed lost explicit still fields in final episode projection. Three Contracts approved-snapshot checks reported intentional additive DTO changes that still require generator refresh and diff review. These are repair findings, not a passing package gate. Logs are %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp2-{build,web-tests,api-tests,contract-tests,node-tests,node-check}-2026-10-04.log.

Those automated findings were repaired: the lookup now uses explicit BLOB GUID list parameters, and heartbeat profile lookup has captured-authority guards. The approved fixture generator produced only the intended optional still fields and stable queue-entry field, plus resulting shape hashes. With update switches unset, the final frozen gate passed 315 Web, 6 API and 73 Contracts tests; the solution built with 0 warnings/errors. Final logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp2-final-...-2026-10-04.log.

Root rendered captures V01–V07 use the isolated final fixture and measured DPR approximately 1.1. The browser's viewport override required calibration; capture JSON records the reported CSS geometry rather than assuming the requested size. Idle playback hides controls; pause holds them; three actual chapters appear; embedded/managed caption selection leaves exactly one showing track. Fullscreen's Exit control and actual panel ancestry confirm that tools remain inside the video host; Escape dismisses the tool first. The read-only DOM adapter reports no document.fullscreenElement even while the host is fullscreen, so that field alone is not treated as a failure. Pixel captures also show scaling/unused-margin differences against near-full-viewport DOM bounds; no unsupported claim about their cause or app letterboxing is made.

Rendered findings requiring repair: chapter rows still use an incompatible old two-column layout; selected rows lack the intended outline; the video Play button inherits the audio button's important filled style. At measured 320×720, the explicit sheet Close marks its trigger collapsed but leaves an orphan modal portal and obstructs Back. V07 is labeled sheet-dismissal-failure, not a passing video-close check. The apps were stopped before these repairs. R13's end card, R16's owned episodes, final video Back, and repaired presentation checks remain pending. The final fixture also contains four explicit synthetic EpisodeStill records with existing bounded renditions, while retaining the original backdrop records and missing-still case.

Reference acceptance matrix

These are implementation acceptance checks. B01–B20 remain historical baseline evidence and do not satisfy these rows. Root browser access is now enabled; each V capture records actual CSS viewport and DPR separately. The target column describes planned CSS geometry, not a rendered result.

Unpictured acceptance states

Automated protections and source traces do not count as rendered passes. This table records the available evidence and the remaining limits explicitly.

State Current outcome
Video chrome hidden, revealed, held V13: playing chrome hidden/inert. Pause holds chrome. V21: playing Tab focus on Skip back, all four chrome regions opacity1 and usable controls.
Fullscreen and PiP V05/V08: Exit fullscreen and panel ancestry prove hosted controls/tool dismissal in the available adapter; native fullscreen/PiP windows remain unverified.
Video Audio/Speed tools and no-context fallback Context availability combinations have automated coverage. V19: native Speed1.5 and unchanged source/request. Single actual audio track hides chooser; multi-track chooser/no-context runtime remain media-unverified.
End card pause, seek, dismiss, stall/hidden document, races V15: paused count/dismissal; V17: natural continuation. V22/V28: narrow actual card and seek threshold; V23/V24/V29: actual playing continuation. No intermediate tick sample is claimed. Stall/hidden-document, stale identity and concurrent completion remain automated only.
Lyrics timed/static/version/preference/refresh/follow/seek A19–A24: runtime pass, including temporary choice versus saved preference and Back to current line. Missing/unavailable lyrics and stale responses are automated only.
Queue empty/long/duplicate occurrences A01/A02/A19: Remove/Clear preserve current media. Duplicate occurrence targeting is automated. A39 proves empty phone queue. A63/A64b show 14/13 upcoming rows with repeated occurrences; last removal preserves current. A64 exposed the shared focus restoration defect, now repaired by A66/A67. A68 retains the panel on visible-row removal; A69b verifies empty state after reopening. No persistent-open claim for disappearance of the focused last removal/Clear action.
Chapters and History A25/A26/A29: actual source titles/durations, paused/playing current state, saved History. No-chapter rendering pending.
Bookmarks and sleep Existing captured-lease/deadline/unknown-outcome protocols retained and automated. A42–A46 prove phone rate/deadline continuity, captured bookmark Save/Saved and canonical navigation preserving native position. Popup mirrors the snapshot; native owner-addressed actions unverified.
Owner/profile/access loss Stale work/asset/request/profile/access and popup cleanup guards pass automated tests; live owner/profile/access-loss UI not exercised.
Popup opening, refusal, native closing Broadcast snapshots observed in baseline normal popup route. A53/A54 verify shared popup UI at 420×780 with no exits/media element; A55 proves missing-owner refusal without changing main playback. Native opening did not expose a window in IAB; addressed commands and OS lifecycle remain unverified.
Ingestion activity/sidebar resize Playback no longer leases the layout sidebar; existing Ingestion lease/resize source remains. Live Ingestion activity/resize not available in the isolated no-watch fixture.
Keyboard/focus/hover/touch Nested selector first/second Escape automated; full-player Tab/Shift+Tab containment and originating Expand restoration passed A35–A37. Popover outside-dismiss correction passes A66/A67, including real search typing and Escape restoration. DOM-only adapter has no pointer-hover or native touch surface.
Short heights and boundary widths A28–A34: repaired 1280×720, 1366×768, 840×900, 835×1112. A49–A54 verify short phone and popup. A57–A62 cover 320×720, 600×900, 720×900, 900×900 and 1920×1080; same native asset/request/position survives resize. Long-title full players scroll intentionally to reach lower utilities.
Zoom, reduced motion and image density Bounded managed artwork is source-checked; runtime DPR is about 1.1. Zoom 200%, DPR2 and reduced-motion emulation have no enabled control and remain pending.
Other browsers/native clients Firefox, WebKit, iOS and Android have no enabled test surface; pending. Native swipe-down is outside scope.

Follow-up rendered verification, October 4

The first four rendered repairs passed their automated gate: 317 filtered Web tests, 4 Node behavior tests, six JavaScript syntax checks, and solution build with 0 warnings/errors. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-current-...-2026-10-04.log. V08 at reported 320×720 confirms repaired chapter columns/current outline; explicit sheet dismissal removes the portal. V09 confirms Back returns to details with saved resume, without the earlier managed-track close exception. V10 at reported 1672×941 confirms the white outlined transparent video button and readable chapter columns. V14 confirms exactly two accessible owned episodes, bounded real stills, current synopsis and outline; V15 shows the real next-owned-episode card at 320px above the controls, with paused countdown 10 and working Dismiss. V13 confirms active playback hides all four chrome regions and gives them inert attributes. Keyboard reveal needs an immediate paired sample, since the subsequent sample occurred after another idle interval. V12 captured natural end before its intended idle check and is explicitly not an idle pass.

V11 exposes a remaining caption-default failure: after starting an asset, reload or same-item reopen, both embedded and preferred managed captions are showing/selected and duplicate cues are visible. Explicit selection is correct, but initial selection is not. Apps were stopped and the sole writer is repairing that default/rebind path. V05 metadata now separates the adapter's false fullscreenElement observation from the positive Exit fullscreen/panel-ancestry UI evidence. R13/R16 geometry and owned-only context have runtime evidence; playing countdown and natural continuation remain to exercise.

The V08 startup recovery concern was confirmed in code: the gesture-needed informational status was fed back into native transport metrics as an error, disabling Play. The final video repair preserves the actionable NeedsGesture phase, reconciles caption defaults to one native/HLS track, preserves explicit Off/choice across same-subject reopen, and moves the paused chapter marker beside its number. Added behavior regressions await the caption repair gate. No runtime pass is claimed for those final changes yet.

Final caption/startup gate passed 318 filtered Web tests, 6 Node behavior tests, all six JS syntax checks and solution build 0 warnings/errors; logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp2-caption-...-2026-10-04.log. V16 at reported 1672×941 DPR1.1 confirms reload recovery exposes enabled Play, then active playback with only managed EN showing and embedded disabled. Owned context resolves after startup. V17 confirms natural completion advances from owned S2 E5 to actual S2 E7 asset/request, updates context/current synopsis and exposes no next card for the final owned episode. This observed advance is supported by automated exactly-once protections; runtime countdown-versus-ended races still require integrated evidence.

A fresh player_audio_worker was successfully dispatched with approved GPT-6.1 Sol/high after WP2 froze. It prepared read-only, then received WP3-only write authorization after the apps stopped and narrow process verification returned empty. Earlier Foundation-for-Video reuse remains the recorded thread-limit deviation; Audio now uses its planned role. Application packages remain sequential with one writer; root owns documents and test fixtures.

WP3 first gate built with 0 warnings/errors and passed 5 native Close Node cases, 6 video presentation Node cases and all six JS syntax checks. The broader Web filter ran 442 tests: 436 passed and 6 failed. Three shell tests lack the new transient-tool service in their harness; one popup source assertion depends on an exact old whitespace excerpt; two new successor-race tests throw in playback resolution. The writer must identify mock omissions versus production defects and repair them without reducing behavioral assertions. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp3-...-2026-10-04.log. Runtime remains stopped and no WP3 visual pass is claimed.

The WP3 harness repair passed all 442 filtered Web tests and a test-project build with 0 warnings/errors. The two race fixtures now include playable stream URLs, shell tests register the production tool/resolver services, and the popup source assertion tolerates line-ending differences while retaining its behavior checks. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp3-final-...-2026-10-04.log.

Root captures A01/A02 at reported 1672×941 DPR1.1 prove the resting and Queue-open dock/main bounds and scroll are identical. The dock is 84px high, extends across the usable viewport including beneath the rail, has independently centered transport and a directly visible 44px trailing Close. Queue removal and Clear preserve the paused native asset, request generation and position. A03 at reported 835×1112 reveals that the global mobile device classification removes tablet utility More and Close after responsive state settles. A04/A05 at reported 390×845 and 320×720 reveal inherited styles producing a 116px phone dock and a bottom-positioned progress line. These are failed responsive acceptance states, not passing reference comparisons. Apps were stopped and the sole Audio writer received a dock-only repair window; global device classification and full-player packages remain outside that repair.

The responsive repair gate passed 42 targeted tests and both app/test builds with 0 warnings/errors. A06 confirms the narrow phone dock is now 72px with top-edge progress and aligned Play/Expand; Close has no rendered target or accessibility action. A07 confirms tablet More and the separate 44px Close remain present after responsive classification settles. Its menu content still renders horizontally because its scoped layout depends on ancestry removed by the popover portal. A08 confirms Close pauses a restored music session but fails to release its source/dock. Source review identifies a mismatch between the snapshot's explicit snake_case wire fields and the final-close guard's camelCase reads; existing native tests used handcrafted camelCase state. Both findings are under the next narrow WP3 repair, with freshness and successor-session guards retained.

The wire-format repair gate passed 43 targeted Web tests, 7 native Close Node cases, JS syntax and both app/test builds with 0 warnings/errors. Snapshot tests now round-trip the actual serialized wire shape; native tests retain profile, source and successor-request refusal. A09 confirms a vertical tablet utility menu; a remaining nested Mute target measures 21px high and receives a final CSS-only touch-target repair. A10 confirms restored music Close removes the dock, clears the source attribute and current asset, pauses the native engine, and increments the request; the read-only adapter still reports the former currentSrc after load, so that field is not used as evidence of source release. The fixture database saves paused music at 100.96 seconds and fresh audiobook playback at 10.655 seconds, without marking completion. A11 confirms compact chapter tabs and three real source-authored titles/durations with no repeated thumbnail. The current-row outline and paused marker are still the old shared-row rendering and remain explicit WP4 work.

Final WP3 CSS/JS build has0 warnings/errors. The UI reviewer identified audio popovers covering a small portion of the dock seek line; the shared positioning helper now applies an audio-dock ceiling, leaving video/non-dock anchoring and phone sheets unchanged. The existing Node presentation suite passes7/7, including dock clearance, constrained height and unchanged non-dock placement. A12 measures8.011px clearance above the dock during actual music playback. A15 at reported840×900 confirms left-aligned menu labels and44px targets including Mute. A16/A17 at reported1366×768 retain the same shifted main bounds and width while opening Queue; the nested shell's observed scroll is280px, while its inner main has0 scroll. The paired native asset/request remain unchanged and time advances. A18 at390×845 confirms72px phone height, top seek, aligned Play/Expand and no accessible Close while playing. Ingestion runtime activity remains unavailable in the isolated no-watch fixture; its coordinator/shell tests pass and its ownership/resize implementation is preserved.

Final offline UI review supports the repaired targets, clearance, geometry and continuity. A17's PNG contains an unexplained dark rectangle beneath the panel covering transport, although its measured panel bounds clear the dock and A12 has no such rectangle. A17 is therefore retained as geometry/continuity evidence only, not proof of unobstructed painted controls. Reconcile this with a fresh settled laptop capture and DOM paint/hit-target observations during integrated acceptance; no cause or confirmed application defect is inferred from this capture alone.

WP4 source is frozen and Verifier is running its gate. Audio delivered snapshot-driven shared panels, guarded temporary lyric-version selection through the existing owner channel, shared raw timed/static lyrics and the desktop artwork/identity/inline-panel composition. The popup's legacy lyric body adopts the presenter; its full composition remains WP5. Root review removed a two-line identity clamp before freeze. A marked disposable fixture helper gives only the fourth owned song a long title and updates its album entry to match; media, identities and progress are preserved, with a clean foreign-key check. This supports actual short-height layout verification.

Root has aligned completed dock, command, video and Ingestion ownership notes across architecture and repository guidance; Explorer's focused read-only check found no mismatch in those completed-package claims. Full-player and popout documentation will follow their actual WP5 implementation. A frozen-source finding remains for the WP4 repair window: desktop/phone scene selection still uses the global 840px navigation classification rather than the approved 720px player composition threshold. Keep the global navigation policy unchanged while resolving the player-specific boundary.

The first WP4 gate found an orphaned lifecycle-method body in ListenPlayerPopupPage.razor, producing 75 cascading compile errors and blocking Web tests. Isolated Contracts checks passed 72 of 74; the two failures are shape/inventory drift from the added LyricTrackId, with update switches unset. Round-trip and other behavior checks passed. All 17 Node cases and seven changed-JS syntax checks passed. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp4-...-2026-10-04.log. Audio received a narrow repair window for the missing lifecycle declaration, the player-specific 720px boundary and deliberate fixture regeneration, followed by another frozen gate. No runtime pass is claimed.

Those source repairs restored the complete popup helper/lifecycle span and added a player-only 720px observer without changing global navigation classification. Root reviewed the two approved fixture changes: only nullable LyricTrackId and its sample were added beyond prior approved fields. With generator switches unset, the final solution build passed with 0 warnings/errors, Contracts passed 74/74, Node passed 18/18 and all eight JS syntax checks passed. The first Web gate passed 372/379; seven tests lacked MudPopoverProvider. A tests-only provider repair retained every assertion. The test project then built cleanly, affected sidebar tests passed 23/23, and the complete broader Playback/Listen/Context/Audiobook/Video/UiShell/UnifiedDetail filter passed 487/487. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp4-final-... and tuvima-player-wp4-harness-...-2026-10-04.log. Root has started only the isolated fixture apps for rendered acceptance; no new application writing is underway.

WP4 rendered findings and repair window

Root captures A19–A27 use actual 1672×941, 1280×720 and 840×900 CSS viewports, DPR 1.1. Queue removal reduces the upcoming count and Clear preserves the current asset/request. The shared lyric toolbar exposes timed and static versions, separate preference, and refresh; the settled refresh preserves the chosen static version. Manual keyboard scrolling exposes Back to current line after the scroll settles, and selecting timed line 03 seeks to 20 seconds. A21's filename includes follow-missing, but its settled capture contains the return button; it is not a failed follow check. A25/A26 show three actual chapter titles/durations, outlined current state and distinct paused/playing marks; History exposes the saved segment.

Four visual defects block WP4 acceptance: A19's identity is separately centered and begins left of the sharp artwork; A26's audiobook image has no src because the sizing helper rejects its recording-cover URL; A27's settled 840px expanded presentation places the dock at y=0, covering navigation; and the offline UI reviewer confirms music transport targets measure 38px high rather than the required 44px. Root stopped the isolated apps and verified no Tuvima processes remained before authorizing a narrow WP4 repair. Global navigation remains at its existing 840px boundary; the repair must correctly host the approved 720px player boundary. Source tracing shows the recording-cover endpoint serves an original, so a blind URL fallback is excluded: prefer the actual bounded canonical book cover, including for legacy restored snapshots. WP5 remains unauthorized until the repaired rendered gate passes.

The rendered-repair solution build passed with 0 warnings/errors, and all 494 affected Web tests passed. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-wp4-render-repair-...-2026-10-04.log. A28 at840×900 and A33 at835×1112 confirm the expanded dock is correctly below content and above the retained mobile navigation. A28–A30 show bounded canonical audiobook artwork with actual natural640×960 pixels and a portrait ratio; artwork/title left edges match at desktop and tablet sizes. A31 at1280×720 shows the full long title, 264px square artwork yielding space, no left-region overflow, and all five music transport targets measuring approximately44×44px. A32 confirms the ordinary desktop music art/title alignment at520px. A32/A33 retain the same native asset/request6 while time advances through resizing; inline Queue remains one tab set. A34 is a fresh settled1366×768 Queue capture: no dark rectangle appears, all five transport center hit tests resolve to their own buttons, and the panel clears the dock. This resolves the earlier A17 review concern for the current rendered state without inventing a cause for that older capture.

Root stopped both isolated apps and verified no Tuvima runtime processes remained before dispatching WP5 to the existing Sol/high Audio worker. The package must preserve direct/broadcast ownership, bridge canonical popup navigation through normal main-window SPA navigation, and reconcile native passive popup cleanup without adding an in-player exit. Root remains the document/fixture writer; application work remains sequential.

WP5 integration status

The final read-only queue audit found no end-card target mismatch: EligibleNextEpisode requires the actual first upcoming video's identity to match the canonical owned candidate. A candidate elsewhere in the queue does not produce a misleading card. Countdown, Play now and natural ended share the guarded completion path. Existing tests cover queue appending, asset revalidation and concurrent completion; the candidate-later branch is source-traced rather than separately rendered.

Both hosts now render PlaybackFullPlayer. The shared component consumes a snapshot and sink, retains one real seek rail and text-only book progress, and forwards bookmark requests through the existing host bridges. Only the phone supplies its presentation-only Collapse callback; popup markup supplies no exit callback or blank header slot. The owner channel now separates canonical identity navigation from transport and passive popup registration from session stop. Root reviewed the deliberate nullable IdentityKind, IdentityId and PopupWindowId DTO additions and their approved shape/inventory entries. The writer froze source after exact generators passed 2/2, popup lifecycle Node passed 3/3 and app.js syntax/diff checks passed. Generator switches are unset. Full automated and rendered acceptance are still pending.

Root has synchronized the implemented component/navigation/lifecycle contracts across playback architecture, Dashboard architecture, AGENTS/CLAUDE and their mapped .agent guidance. The full suite, final UI review and integrated Astra review remain pending. Historical report entries retain the earlier failures and are superseded by the later repaired evidence rather than relabeled as passes.

First integrated gate and WP5 preflight

Restore succeeded after a narrowly escalated retry for the user's NuGet configuration. The solution built with 0 warnings/errors. The full suite ran 4,940 cases: 4,898 passed, 8 failed and 34 provider cases were skipped. Contracts passed 77/77. Web had six failures: the new video segment span violated the shared inline-style guard; three primitive source assertions still targeted retired popup/phone markup; one unchanged detail-copy assertion reported an encoded middle-dot mismatch; and a late-popup-stream test exposed a shared component callback invoked off its renderer dispatcher. Two API native-authority cases failed on a disposed SQLite handle; isolated diagnosis is underway, with no baseline attribution assumed. The requested Node suites passed 33/33 and eight changed JS syntax checks passed. An additional existing select-adapter suite could not load its relative tooltip import through its data-URL harness. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-integrated-...-2026-10-04.log.

The source UI preflight found two further selector risks: the phone host closes the coordinator after a Speed/Sleep selector claims it, and nested Lyrics version menus lack modal-sheet portal ownership and first-Escape behavior. These are source findings, not rendered failures or passes. Root sequenced a minimal video AppCssElement/CSS-isolation repair first, without weakening the style guard, then authorized Audio as sole writer for focused host/menu/dispatcher/harness repairs and meaningful regressions. Runtime remains stopped until the repaired gate passes.

The API native-authority class subsequently passed 6/6 in isolation against the same compiled build (%TEMP%/tuvima-player-native-authority-isolated-2026-10-04.log). Its unchanged Dispose() calls global SqliteConnection.ClearAllPools() while API classes run in parallel, a plausible interference mechanism matching the disposed-handle failures. The test, DatabaseConnection and SqliteConnectionFactory are unchanged by this work. This is an evidence-based inference, not a proven player regression or a silently accepted baseline; the failed broad run remains recorded. No unrelated storage or API test cleanup was changed.

Repaired integrated gate and keyboard finding

The repaired integrated build passed with 0 warnings/errors. Its full test run reported 4,909 passed, one failed and 34 skipped (4,944 total), with Web 1,619/1,619 and API 1,310/1,310 passing. The earlier SQLite pair did not recur. The only failure was the unchanged deep-ingestion performance guard's elapsed-time limit (2,669ms); no timing threshold was changed. All selected Node behavior suites passed 48/48. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-repaired-...-2026-10-04.log.

Before runtime startup, the UI reviewer identified a keyboard gap: the closed-tool phone full player visually covers the library but does not contain Tab focus. Root paused verification after its running commands completed and authorized a narrow full-presentation focus repair, including owned selectors/bookmark portals and returning focus to Expand. This is distinct from the already repaired nested menu Escape behavior. A new frozen-source gate and runtime checks remain required.

Songs artwork trace

The focused Songs-launch audit found no production fallback gap. LibraryWorkFeedReadService derives the canonical root work and merges asset values over root values before resolving artwork; EngineApiClient supplies that result as WorkViewModel.CoverUrl, and Songs playback copies it into the queue. A coverless music child therefore inherits its canonical album cover before the bounded player helper runs. Album-detail playback also has its explicit parent-cover fallback. The isolated fixture assigns direct artwork to its songs, so coverless inheritance is source-traced, not a rendered fixture pass. No speculative artwork change was made.

Integrated context finding

Explorer confirmed that VideoPresentationResolver.ContextKind and its existing test suppress all TV context when no accessible owned episode choices resolve, even with a real upcoming video queue. This conflicts with the approved availability-based fallback. After WP5 froze, the prior Sol/high video owner made the narrow resolver/test correction as the sole writer and froze it immediately. Owned Episodes retain priority, usable movie Chapters remain movie-only, and real upcoming queue entries supply the fallback. Eleven focused theory cases cover those combinations; execution is included in the integrated gate. No invented episode choices were added.

Final focus repair

The final narrow repair changes only the shared full-player component, its new focus module and focused tests. Tab/Shift+Tab cycle through visible player controls and associated selector portals. Modal sheets and bookmark dialogs keep their existing traps; stray background focus returns to the active modal. Subject changes replace listener ownership, and disappearance/disposal release it. Phone Collapse retains the host's saved originating-control restoration. Escape gains no player exit. The writer's focused checks passed eight Web cases, six new Node cases, module syntax and diff checks. A fresh official integration gate is underway before runtime startup.

Final automated gate and full-player runtime

The final frozen integration gate passed: build 0 warnings/errors; full solution tests 4,912 passed, zero failed, 34 skipped (4,946 total); Web 1,621/1,621; API 1,310/1,310; Contracts 77/77; Performance 3/3. Node behavior suites passed 54/54 and all 24 checked JavaScript files passed syntax. Diff checks found no whitespace errors. Earlier SQLite and timing failures did not recur. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-final-...-2026-10-04.log.

A35–A46 use actual 390×845 CSS pixels, DPR1.1. Music full→mini→full retains the playing asset/request7; Tab/Shift+Tab wrap inside the player and Collapse restores Open Now Playing. Queue Remove/Clear preserve current playback and expose empty upcoming state. Lyrics' first Escape closes its version menu, its second closes only the sheet. Book full→mini→full retains asset/request8, native rate1.5 and the armed30-minute countdown. The existing bookmark dialog saves its captured paused chapter3 position and shows Saved. Its canonical book link removes the full overlay, reveals details and retains source/request/position. A46's immediate capture contains Loading details; the subsequent settled DOM confirms the actual canonical detail page.

Two rendered defects remain under a final narrow repair: A38's phone tool-sheet child is fixed against the viewport rather than its640px bounded wrapper, and linked book headings render at400 weight/28px high rather than inheriting the heading and44px interaction target. Root stopped both isolated apps and confirmed no Tuvima processes before the sole Audio writer's local CSS/scope repair. These earlier captures are not a bounded-sheet/linked-heading pass.

A47 was regenerated with explicit popup-target metadata after detecting that a reused helper measured the main tab. Its corrected files show actual420×780, DPR1, the shared audiobook UI without an exit/header slot, and no native audio/video element. The popup was opened through the observed normal route because the native open action exposed no new window/tab in the available adapter. It received the main owner's snapshot; native OS closure remains unverified. A48 is supplementary popup-sheet evidence at462×858/DPR1: its fixed child uses auto height331px rather than following its bounded wrapper. No native-window success is inferred from a normal tab.

Final rendered repairs and review

The final local sheet/identity repair passed a solution build with zero warnings/errors and all 1,622 Web tests. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-rendered-final-...-2026-10-04.log. No backend, contract or JavaScript changed after the clean full gate. A49–A54 and the offline UI reviewer confirm bold inherited heading typography, approximately 44px linked targets, reachable audiobook controls at 320×720 and 390×780, and one bounded sheet at y156/height624 in a 780px window. Close is at the trailing edge. Phone sheets retain permitted rounded corners; popup sheets are square and fill the available width. Popup has no player exit, blank header slot or media element. A38/A41/A48 remain historical failed states.

A55 exercises an intentionally unaddressed normal popup route: missing owner commands fail closed with a visible confirmation failure and leave main rate, position and request unchanged. This is negative coverage, not proof of native addressed popup commands. The available IAB does not expose the native window from the actual Open separate player action. Native OS closing and owner-addressed runtime commands remain unverified; their guard protocols have automated coverage. Corrected A47 metadata targets the popup; the stale main-target supplementary file was removed.

A56 confirms the default Songs browse starts the long-title song directly without navigation to a track detail. A57–A62 retain actual asset/request9 and paused position through 320×720, 600×900, 720×900, 900×900 and 1920×1080. The short long-title player scrolls intentionally; keyboard focus reaches the lower tools (A60). At 720px it retains phone full composition; at 900px it uses the desktop scene with visible dock Close. Source-traced coverless album inheritance is distinct from this fixture's direct artwork.

A63 shows a bounded 640px desktop Queue with 14 upcoming entries including repeated occurrences. Removing the last repeated occurrence preserves current playback; reopening confirms 13 entries (A64b). A64 captured the intervening closed popover, so its PNG alone does not prove the new count. Clear also preserves current source/request/position (A65); the sheet disappears before that capture. Earlier phone A39 proves the rendered empty state. Astra confirmed the shared outside-dismiss callback incorrectly forces trigger focus restoration. This P2 finding is under a narrow repair; queue mutation itself has no intended tool-close action. No other high-confidence blocking finding arose from the integrated audit.

The Audio worker repaired only the shared popover browser-dismiss callback and focused regressions. Outside pointer/focus departure now forwards restoreFocus=false through .NET; Escape, trigger dismissal and explicit sheet Close retain true. Focused Web checks passed 14/14 and new Node regressions passed 3/3. Astra's focused follow-up confirms its P2 is addressed with no new focused defect. The final affected gate and paired rendered focus check follow; the complete integrated review is not repeated.

The first post-review affected gate built with zero warnings/errors, passed all 57 Node checks and 24 JavaScript syntax checks, and found no diff whitespace errors. Web passed 1,623 of 1,624: the new false-focus portal test asserted before the scheduled render removed the conditional node. Audio is checking the lifecycle versus test synchronization and retaining both the focus-value and eventual portal-cleanup assertions. This run remains a failed gate until the repaired check passes; no runtime app started against it.

The strengthened asynchronous regression holds the JavaScript portal release, checks the requested focus value and retained panel, then completes release and waits for actual DOM removal. The final affected gate passes: solution build zero warnings/errors, full Web 1,624/1,624, diff check zero. Unchanged JavaScript remains at 57/57 behavior checks and 24/24 syntax checks. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-close-test-final-...-2026-10-04.log. A66 confirms outside Queue dismissal retains INPUT focus; typing through the actual focused element enters Coastal in browse search. A67 confirms Escape restores Queue trigger focus. A68 removes a visible row while retaining the open panel and current source/request4. Clear removes its focused action and dismisses the popover (A69); reopening confirms the actual empty queue (A69b). No persistent-open claim is made for disappearance of the focused Clear action.

V18–V21 add actual 1280×720 video evidence. Speed selection changes the native rate to 1.5 without source/request replacement; the real chapter panel fits above the control region. This fixture has a single audio track, so no chooser is rendered; multi-track chooser interactions remain media-unverified. Keyboard Tab reaches Skip back while video plays; all four chrome regions have opacity 1, and paused Back saves resume. These checks do not prove pointer-hover/native touch or operating-system PiP.

V22 at 720×900 shows the real owned next card after keyboard seeking to 161 seconds: paused countdown 10, and usable seek/transport. V23 shows that source playing. V24 later records the actual next-owned E7 source/request3 with no next card. That delayed sample proves continuation, but does not distinguish countdown completion from natural ended; an intermediate ticking count is not claimed.

V25 exposed a separate blocking episode-selection defect: after pausing E7 and selecting owned E5, the displayed identity/request changed but Preparing persisted. Query-stripped DOM source facts retained native E7 at 128.818 seconds while the owner selected E5/request4. Foundation's read-only trace found self-cancellation: the old metadata token is passed into controller startup, whose new request triggers the host to cancel that same token. Natural continuation uses a different lifetime and already passed. Root stopped both isolated apps and confirmed no Tuvima processes before authorizing the sole Video owner to repair only this handoff and its lifecycle regression. Ownership, metadata cancellation and captured identity checks remain required before handoff. Final completion waits for its affected gate and rendered episode switch.

The narrow owned-row repair retains old-context cancellation and captured identity checks after every metadata await, then starts under an independent host lifetime linked into the controller request. Host disposal cancels that lifetime. The exact request-change cancellation regression proves the replacement asset, native start URL and Playing state; four additional preflight cases refuse metadata, profile, request or disposal staleness. Foundation's build passed with zero warnings/errors and targeted video checks passed 36/36. Astra's focused review accepts the handoff repair with no additional actionable finding. Full affected integration and rendered source replacement remain the last gates.

The final owned-selection solution build has zero warnings/errors and all 1,629 Web tests pass; diff check is clean. Logs use %TEMP%/tuvima-player-owned-selection-final-...-2026-10-04.log. V26 starts the actual E7 source; V27 repeats the previously stalled paused-E7→E5 selection and confirms the declared and loaded native source both become E5, request4, Playing at19.2 seconds. V28 confirms Episodes and the real next card return after metadata settles. V25 remains the historical failed transition. V29 captured subsequent E7 continuation rather than an intermediate ticking count, so its filename is not a tick-pass claim. No unresolved defect remains from the focused source reviews or these repaired runtime paths.

All app source is frozen. Root saved the final paused resume through normal Back, reset the temporary viewport, closed the test tab, stopped both isolated apps and verified the scoped process inventory was empty. The ignored fixture and external screenshots remain available for inspection; the user's catalogue was not used.

Plain-English completion summary

Music and audiobooks now use the flush dock, shared readable tools and consistent full players. Desktop/tablet Close saves resume and stops the session; phone Collapse keeps audio running while browsing; the popup contains no in-player exit. Video controls hide while watching, real owned episodes can be selected without stalling, and chapter/caption tools remain reachable. Final automated checks and available browser comparisons pass; the integrated review and its repairs are complete. Native popup windows, non-Chromium/native clients, multi-track/no-context media, live Ingestion, zoom/high-density/reduced-motion and specific countdown edge states remain unverified as listed above. Test apps are stopped and temporary tabs/viewport overrides cleaned up. The subsequent user request authorizes a local commit. All agent changes are integrated in the shared main checkout; there are no separate local branches to merge. No push was requested.
