Root cause: scrub replay was playing through the ENTIRE buffer
from scrub point to end (thousands of packets), racing the playhead
forward to now. Now caps replay at 50 packets from scrub point,
then pauses. Hit LIVE to resume real-time.
Two root causes fixed:
1. startReplay() was calling vcrResumeLive() when buffer exhausted,
snapping back to LIVE mode. Now pauses instead.
2. updateTimelinePlayhead() recalculated position from timestamps
relative to now (which shifts). Now holds at dragPct position
when paused after a scrub.
Root cause: scrubbing moved playhead to closest buffer entry (recent
WS packets only), then replay tick() recalculated position relative
to current time, snapping it back. Fixed by splitting into two phases:
1. scrubVisual: only moves the DOM playhead element during drag
2. scrubCommit: on release, fetches packets from DB around target
timestamp, merges into buffer, seeks to closest entry, starts replay.
No more rubber-banding.
VCR: playhead now stays where you drag it — updateTimelinePlayhead()
skips during drag (VCR.dragging flag). Always update playhead visually
via direct DOM during scrub instead of relying on buffer position calc.
Packets: replay button compact, inline next to View Route button.
Analytics: channel links now navigate to specific channel hash.
Click/drag on timeline now works even when buffer is empty.
Dragging to a point before the buffer's start triggers DB fetch
on release. Removed redundant click handler (drag handles clicks).
Visual playhead feedback during drag even without buffer data.
Mouse drag and touch drag support on the timeline sparkline.
Scrubs playhead in real-time as you drag. Touch support for mobile.
Grab cursor on hover, grabbing while dragging.
myNodesGrid element was only rendered when hasNodes was true on
initial page load. Claiming first node called loadMyNodes() but
the grid container didn't exist. Now always render the grid div.
Also dynamically update hero text and hide onboarding prompt.
Timeline sparkline was only showing packets from the current browser
session (WS buffer). Now fetches timestamps from DB via lightweight
/api/packets/timestamps endpoint, so 6h/12h/24h scopes actually
show historical activity density.
Two bugs:
1. refreshMessages() compared array length to detect changes — at the
200 message limit, new messages don't change the count. Now compares
last message timestamp instead.
2. WS handler only triggered on type 'message' — observer-decoded
GRP_TXT packets broadcast as type 'packet' were missed. Now also
triggers refresh on packet events with GRP_TXT payload type.
- Detail sidebar starts collapsed, expands on click (420px, max 50vw)
- Route column allows word wrap instead of forced nowrap
- Tables use auto layout for breathing room
- List panel has min-width:0 to prevent flex overflow
- Smoother transitions on sidebar open
Click any route in Route Patterns to open detail sidebar showing:
- Minimap with nodes and route line (green=origin, red=dest, amber=hops)
- Signal quality (avg SNR/RSSI)
- Activity by hour (UTC) bar chart
- First/last seen timestamps
- Observers that captured this route
- Full parent paths containing this subpath
Split layout with scrollable list + fixed sidebar, responsive on mobile.
Each hop now displays as 'NodeName [ab]' with the hex prefix visible.
Makes prefix collisions obvious — e.g. same prefix resolving to same
name confirms it's a collision, different prefixes confirm real route.
New 'Route Patterns' analytics tab showing most common subpaths in the
mesh, broken down by length (pairs, triples, quads, long chains).
Reveals backbone routes, bottlenecks, and preferred relay chains.
Each subpath shows occurrence count, % of all paths, and frequency bar.
When multiple nodes match a 1-byte hop prefix, use geographic context
(observer's typical nodes + other resolved hops) to pick the closest
match. Shows ⚠ indicator on ambiguous hops with tooltip listing all
candidates. Hover to see which nodes collide on that prefix.
When arriving via #/packets/id/<id>, fetch the packet first, set the
hash filter, reload the list, then show the detail sidebar. List now
shows only related packets instead of the full unfiltered view.
navTimeout was local to init() — destroy() couldn't clear it, so the
4s timeout would fire after navigation and hide the nav on other pages.
Now uses module-scoped _navCleanup; destroy clears timeout and removes
mousemove/touchstart/click listeners from live page element.
Desktop detail panel was only showing adverts as 'Recent Activity'.
Now fetches /health endpoint too and displays all recent packets
(adverts, channel msgs, DMs) with type icons and Analyze links.
Route markers and polyline were on markerLayer, which gets cleared
by renderMarkers() on any filter/zoom change. Now uses dedicated
routeLayer that persists independently.
Hop hashes are 1-2 byte truncated values that don't work in URL params.
Now passes raw hops via sessionStorage; map page reads them after nodes
load and resolves via prefix match against full public keys.
- Hops in packet table are now clickable links to node detail (#/nodes/<hop>)
- Packet detail panel shows 'View route on map' link for packets with hops
- Map page reads ?highlight= query param and draws dashed route polyline
- Route shows numbered markers: green=origin, amber=hops, red=destination
- Map auto-fits to route bounds
- Autocomplete dropdown searches /api/nodes/search as you type
- Selecting a node filters packets by that node's pubkey
- Fixed duplicate node filter condition in grouped packets query
- Timeline scrubber shows time on hover (tooltip follows cursor)
- Feed items display actual packet timestamps, not render time
- Packet detail panel has 'Replay on Live Map' button → navigates to live view and animates the packet
