mpv owns the macOS Now Playing session (it plays the audio), and an
unbundled binary renders as a blank placeholder for the source-app icon.
macOS has no public API for a third party to claim session ownership
(MPNowPlayingSession is iOS-only; the private MRMediaRemoteSetNowPlayingApplication
was removed from the shared cache), so instead we make the OWNING process
carry our bundle: the darwin tarball now includes PodTui.app with mpv copied
into Contents/MacOS. AudioPlayer resolves the sibling mpv first (falling
back to PATH), LaunchServices attributes the process to com.mikefreno.podtui,
and Control Center shows the PodTui icon + name with podcast cover art.
AppIcon.icns generated from the Xcode icon-composer exports.
Tabs, Discover categories (replacing unused placeholder glyphs), Settings
sections, and the Feed 'Fetch More' row get Nerd Font glyphs (Font Awesome PUA
codepoints). When the terminal font isn't Nerd Font capable the glyphs render
nothing at all — no tofu, no layout gaps — via supportsNerdFonts() (env
allowlist + PODTUI_NERD_FONTS=1/0 override). Documented in README (Configuration
-> Fonts).
- mpv: --force-media-title '<podcast> — <episode>' so macOS Now Playing shows
the podcast name instead of the download-hash filename (mediaTitle PlayOption)
- media registry: artist is now the human podcast title (customName ||
podcast.title), falling back to podcastId
- downloads: write the podcast cover as a <base>.jpg sibling so mpv's
cover-art-auto=exact picks it up for artwork; delete it with the download
- ProgressBar: full-width played/remaining bar in the player pane, click-to-seek;
waveform no longer handles seeking or the played/future color split (pure visual)
- bars: 2 terminal rows per bar (16 levels) via barChars, partial block in the
top row so the column renders continuously
- fix bars maxing at audio start: disable cava autosens (silence gain-ramp),
pre-warm the malloc'd FFT window with zeros, skip partial FFT windows
- createBarScaler peak follower + power curve replaces cava autosens for
level-to-height mapping (src/utils/bar-mapping.ts, unit-tested)
Loading indicators: the braille spinner now carries a contextual label
(Refreshing…, Fetching…, Loading more…, Discovering…, Searching…) and is
shown in every loading state that previously rendered nothing — Discover
results, Search results fallback, and the empty Feed list.
Feed pagination: a focusable "[Fetch More]" row at the bottom of the flat
feed list advances every feed's loaded window by 50 episodes via the new
loadMoreAllFeeds/hasMoreAcrossAll store API. Behavior is a setting
(Fetch More: manual|auto, default manual) persisted in config.json; auto
fetches when focus reaches the bottom row. The button row is excluded
from episode focus so no episode is double-highlighted while it is active.
Move the keybind router out of Shell into a reusable createDispatcher
in @/utils/dispatch, covering tabs (digits 1-6, [/]), h/l depth
drill/pop + fixed-pane swipe, modes, audio transport, quit/help, and
command, delegating pane/list actions over the nav.action event bus.
Shell now renders the active page full-width with a bottom status bar
carrying the tab strip; the old sidebar pane and its leftover sidebar
action handling are removed. Adds tests covering the dispatcher's
routing behavior.
Add the shared parent | current | preview row primitive that implements
yazi's mgr.ratio = [1, 3, 3] contract via Yoga flexGrow, so every list
tab renders an identical, layout-stable shell regardless of terminal
size.
- New YaziPaneRow component: three bordered columns grow at 1/7 : 3/7
: 3/7 with flexBasis=0 (content can never stretch its slot). The
current column carries the accent focus ring when `focused` is
truthy; parent and preview stay muted. The blank parent keeps its
1/7 slot with a muted placeholder rather than collapsing.
- PANE_RATIO.current 4 -> 3 to match yazi's [1, 3, 3].
- Add render-based tests covering the 1:3:3 ratios (incl. null
parent/preview) and the focused/unfocused accent ring behavior.
- Configure the bun test preload for the solid JSX transform.
- Extract navigation state and logic into navigation-store.ts for
testability and separation of concerns
- NavigationContext now only wraps the store as a Solid provider
- Remove SIDEBAR_PANE from the model; depth-tabs have a single
focusable content pane (center/current column)
- Split LayerGraph and page imports into layer-graph.ts so the
navigation utils stay free of JSX (unit-testable)
- Update Shell keybind dispatch: remove sidebar pane handling,
simplify swipe to fixed-pane tabs only, clarify depth-tab h/l
- Add nav-model.test.ts covering depth stack, tab/pane focus, and
selection semantics
