TODO

Completed tasks moved to .github/instructions/DONE.md. Full remaining task list in DEVELOPMENT.md.

Detailed Implementation Plan

• Phase 1: unblock playout test fixtures and lock down the source-media contract

  • Create small compliant fixture media in backend/playout/testdata/ for the validator and playout tests
  • Create invalid fixture media for codec, framerate, and audio rejection paths
  • Create playlist fixtures for empty, comment-only, mixed-validity, and valid playlists
  • Document the ffmpeg fixture-generation commands in the relevant test headers

• Phase 2: finish frontend coverage for the live viewer experience

  • Add tests for HLS player startup, manifest resolution, and cross-origin/local fallback behavior
  • Add tests for chat send/receive, presence updates, private DM flow, and reconnect behavior
  • Add responsive-layout and accessibility checks for the viewer shell and chat sidebar
  • Add coverage reporting and enforce a minimum threshold in CI

• Phase 3: finish admin frontend coverage

  • Add tests for playlist management, moderation flows, and dashboard rendering
  • Add tests for API integration points with mocked backend responses
  • Add responsive-layout and accessibility checks for admin screens
  • Add coverage reporting and enforce a minimum threshold in CI

• Phase 4: validate the R2 and edge-delivery path

  • Add an integration test for upload and retrieval of HLS objects through the R2 path
  • Verify segment and manifest cache headers, including immutable media and live manifest freshness
  • Validate edge cache hit/miss behavior with repeat requests
  • Document any required stubs or mocks so the test can run in CI (putObject mock pattern documented in test)

• Phase 5: complete manual Cloudflare and external-service setup

  • Apply Cloudflare Pages, Tiered Cache, WAF, rate limiting, and HTTPS/HSTS settings in the dashboard
  • Create or verify UptimeRobot monitors for health and HLS manifest availability
  • Capture evidence in docs/operations/cloudflare-uptimerobot-checklist.md

• Phase 6: rehearse production deployment end to end

  • Provision the Hetzner host and prepare the Docker/runtime baseline
  • Configure production secrets, remote deployment, and DNS cutover
  • Run health, HLS, chat, and admin smoke tests against production-like infrastructure
  • Verify backup creation, restore, and integrity checks on the production host

• Phase 7: baseline scaling and performance

  • Measure manifest TTFB and cache-hit distribution from multiple US regions
  • Prepare WebSocket load-test scaffolding and summary artifacts (ws-chat.yml, run-loadtests.ps1, summarize-artillery.ps1)
  • Execute WebSocket throughput and chat-latency benchmarks under growing connection counts
  • Prepare Admin API benchmark scaffolding and endpoint summary artifacts (admin-api.js, run-loadtests.ps1, summarize-k6.ps1)
  • Execute Admin API benchmarks and identify slow paths
  • Add saturation thresholds to monitoring (chat p95 latency + Redis memory usage)
  • Add cache-hit threshold alert operationalization to monitoring

Status Update (2026-08-10)

• Phase 1 (test fixtures) complete.
• Phase 2 (viewer frontend): player startup, URL resolution, chat send/receive, reconnect, presence, DM flow, message rendering all covered (27 tests).
• Phase 3 (admin frontend): dashboard rendering, API integration, playlist management all covered (31 tests total).
• Phase 4 (R2 validation) partially complete: SyncToR2 cache headers + integration tests done; edge cache hit/miss remains manual.
• Phase 5 (Cloudflare): Pages deploy workflow (.gitea/workflows/pages-deploy.yml) created; Pages/Workers setup docs written; manual dashboard tasks remain.
• Phase 7: Loadtest scaffolding complete; run-loadtests.ps1 auto-generates ws-chat-summary.txt and admin-api-endpoint-summary.txt; live benchmark execution pending.
• Version tagged 1.0.11; go vet clean.

Remaining (summary)

• Test Fixtures: media + playlist fixtures created; ffmpeg generation commands documented in test headers
• User Frontend Tests: video player, chat integration, responsive, accessibility, coverage
• Admin Frontend Tests: playlist UI, moderation UI, metrics dashboards, coverage
• Cloudflare R2 Integration Test: upload + cache header validation done (SyncToR2 with CacheControl + ContentType); edge cache hit/miss validation remains manual
• Cloudflare Config: Cloudflare Pages deploy workflow and setup docs created; manual dashboard setup (Tiered Cache, WAF, rate limiting, HTTPS/HSTS) remains pending; Pages project must be created in dashboard first.
• External Services: UptimeRobot monitors + alerts
• Production Deployment: Hetzner provisioning, CD pipeline, DNS cutover, smoke test
• Scaling & Performance: TTFB baseline and live benchmark runs still pending; loadtest scaffolding now includes Artillery/k6 helpers with auto summaries plus worksheet field mapping; chat p95, Redis saturation, and cache-hit threshold alerting are implemented

See DEVELOPMENT.md for detailed checklist.

Streaming Pipeline Gaps (2026-08-10 audit)

STREAMING.md contract vs playlist.go/main.ts implementation. See Backlog for full details.

• Continuous R2 sync during playout (HIGH) — currently only on FFmpeg exit
• Globally unique segment naming with run ID (HIGH) — currently strftime only
• Atomic manifest publication with temp key (MEDIUM)
• CORS headers on HLS responses from media.linearvoid.tv (MEDIUM)
• Player error recovery: retries, drift, reconnecting state (MEDIUM)
• Manifest Cache-Control: add must-revalidate + s-maxage split (LOW)
• Health endpoint: add active item, revision, run ID, segment info (LOW)

Feature List (Future Enhancements)

• Admin backend
  • Analytics: implement a settings entry to set matomo url and page id
• User frontend
  • Chat: add user registration and login flows
  • Chat: private DM history and search
  • Analytics: add javascript snippet to send pageview events to matomo
