# Changelog

## Release v1.0.11
### New Features
- **Configurable TUI Layout Modes**: Added a `ui_layout_mode` setting, with `layout` accepted as an alias, so the main TUI can stay in automatic mode or be forced into vertical or horizontal layouts.
- **Always-Show Add Location Prompt**: Added `always_show_add_location_prompt` so magnet and torrent adds can consistently open the location browser instead of silently using a default path, while preserving shared-mode fast paths where they are still required.
- **Torrent List Page Navigation**: Added page-up/page-down style movement for torrent and peer lists so longer sessions are easier to scan from the keyboard.

### Improvements
- **Responsive Torrent Table Columns**: Sized torrent-list speed columns dynamically so longer units such as Mbps remain visible instead of being clipped in tighter layouts.
- **Add Browser State Handling**: Improved manual add and pending magnet browser flows so prompt state survives metadata hydration, stale preview state is replaced cleanly, and pending entries are not editable while their real metadata is still loading.
- **Shared Add Flow Consistency**: Routed shared follower manual magnets through the leader, kept follower-local prompt state from leaking into shared adds, and preserved queued follower paths when the leader applies the request.

### Bug Fixes
- **Pending Magnet Preview Finalization**: Fixed direct magnet and torrent-file duplicates for the same info hash so they apply to an open pending preview, clear the pending-preview marker, and persist as real torrents instead of being removed by a later cancel.
- **Deferred Ingest Archive Correctness**: Keyed deferred shared-inbox archives to the submitted manual add, cleared stale deferred records when prompts are replaced or fail, and retired ingest journal entries after successful deferred archive.
- **Fictional Test Fixtures**: Updated torrent fixture names used by tests to avoid real media titles while keeping the coverage shape intact.

## Release v1.0.10
### New Features
- **Torrent Management Workspace**: Added a dedicated torrent-management screen for reviewing active torrents, searching/filtering the list, staging batch pause/resume/delete actions, and confirming changes before they are applied.
- **Interactive Existing-Torrent Editing**: Existing torrents can now be opened into the file browser for priority review/editing, including per-file priority changes, bulk priority cycling, and clearer preview-only navigation.
- **Browser Search and Preview Controls**: Added searchable torrent previews, pane-aware browser search, expand/collapse-all controls, and clearer footer hints for priority, expand, collapse, and confirmation actions.

### Improvements
- **File Browser Workflow Polish**: Improved add-torrent and existing-torrent browser flows with better starting locations, stale file-tree response protection, preview-focused existing-torrent handling, and safer generation tracking for asynchronous file-tree loads.
- **Help and Action Styling Refresh**: Reworked the help menu and footer/action styling with clearer grouping, scroll clamping, themed action tones, and more consistent shortcut descriptions across screens.
- **TUI Reliability and State Persistence**: Persisted UI refresh-rate settings, improved torrent search behavior, clarified rate-sort arrows, and queued TUI app commands until shutdown so late UI work is handled predictably.
- **Runtime and Dependency Maintenance**: Upgraded Ratatui, refreshed lockfile dependencies, tightened synthetic-load/anonymized-label behavior, and removed obsolete peer-stream prototype code.

### Bug Fixes
- **Torrent File Priority Accuracy**: Fixed torrent-preview folder priority aggregation so only folders with genuinely mixed child priorities are marked mixed; unrelated folders now keep their correct priority state.
- **Filesystem and Allocation Safety**: Hardened mounted-filesystem writes and avoided stale file metadata during allocation, reducing incorrect size/path handling on mounted or changing storage.
- **Test and Shutdown Stability**: Removed flaky wall-clock token-bucket assertions, tamed transfer performance tests, and made public-tracker stop announces fire-and-forget so shutdown is less likely to block on tracker latency.

## Release v1.0.8
### New Features
- **TCP + uTP Peer Transport**: Enabled production peer transport over both TCP and uTP by default, with TCP fallback when uTP is slow or unreachable.
- **Per-User Windows Installer**: Added a no-admin Windows installer path with user-level PATH setup, Start Menu shortcuts, and magnet and `.torrent` file associations.
- **Transport Validation Tooling**: Added transport-specific benchmark modes, deterministic uTP chaos controls, fuzz harnesses, and interoperability lab coverage to exercise peer behavior under stress.

### Improvements
- **uTP Stability and Throughput**: Tuned congestion control, ACK behavior, outbound connection handling, and shared UDP routing for more reliable uTP sessions.
- **Automatic Limit Visibility**: The TUI now highlights effective automatic download caps so disk backpressure and self-tuning behavior are easier to understand at a glance.
- **Benchmark and CLI Controls**: Documented runtime peer transport controls and added benchmark transport selection so operators can compare TCP, uTP, and mixed runs directly.

### Bug Fixes
- **Disk Backpressure Recovery**: Cleared stale disk-pressure throttles and pending write-latency state after failed writes so old signals do not keep limiting downloads.
- **Transport Fallback Reliability**: Hardened TCP/uTP parity, outbound uTP congestion handling, and mixed-transport connection paths so peers recover more predictably from degraded routes.
- **Logging Fallback Handling**: Improved file-logging setup fallback and runtime error reporting so diagnostics remain available when log files cannot be opened.

## Release v1.0.7
### New Features
- **Synthetic Benchmark Harness**: Added feature-gated benchmark tooling for local download, upload, and swarm capacity testing, with adaptive step sizing, JSON summaries, ETA reporting, and generated run artifacts; see [`docs/synthetic-benchmark.md`](synthetic-benchmark.md).
- **Adaptive Disk Backpressure**: Added live download throttling that reacts to disk write pressure so high-throughput sessions can back off when storage latency becomes the bottleneck.
- **Additional Watch Paths**: Restored support for additional watch folders so operators can ingest torrents from multiple configured locations.

### Improvements
- **TUI Swarm Visibility**: Refined the peer table, files panel, and swarm heatmap with inactive-peer summaries, saturated-peer file strips, more compact peer-action labels, and better behavior in short terminal layouts.
- **Performance Diagnostics**: Added measured footer FPS, disk-queue write latency timing, clearer benchmark capacity reporting, and better synthetic peer ramping for load investigations.
- **Docker and Client Interop**: Made the Docker Compose setup wait for Gluetun health, grouped interop lanes by client, and improved qBittorrent login and add-response compatibility.
- **Dependency and Runtime Maintenance**: Removed config/logging helper dependencies, hardened the replacement config, logging, and atomic-write paths, refreshed dependency pins, and kept CI on the released Rust 1.95.0 toolchain.

### Bug Fixes
- **Piece Request Correctness**: Fixed duplicate requests during piece writes, adjusted endgame request scheduling, and removed defensive pending-block scheduling that could interfere with active work.
- **Telemetry and Logging Accuracy**: Fixed logging flush behavior and telemetry percentile regressions so runtime diagnostics stay reliable under load.
- **Layout Edge Cases**: Fixed files-panel and heatmap sizing edge cases in constrained terminal space while preserving useful peer and availability context.
- **Synthetic Load Stability**: Fixed synthetic-load permit accounting and Windows clippy issues in the benchmark-only build path.

## Release v1.0.6
### 🚀 New Features
- **Internal DHT Peer Discovery**: Added an internal DHT backend with routing-cache support, peer announce support, dual-stack discovery hints, and health data in status snapshots.
- **DHT Activity Visibility**: Added DHT wave and peer-yield visibility in the TUI so discovery behavior is easier to monitor while torrents are running.
- **Configuration Path Reporting**: Added effective config path reporting to make standalone and shared runtime locations easier to verify.

### ✨ Improvements
- **Smarter Peer Discovery Scheduling**: Improved DHT demand planning, fairness, no-peer backoff, crawl reuse, and peer-slot pressure handling so discovery work stays useful without overpowering active peer traffic.
- **More Reliable DHT Startup and Reconfiguration**: DHT startup now falls back more safely when a runtime cannot bind, and port reconfigure/rebind paths release old sockets more predictably.
- **Quieter Runtime Logs**: Reduced repeated startup and shared-config logging, removed noisy metrics journaling logs, and kept concise startup/revision signals for operators.
- **TUI Usability Polish**: Restored vim-style right navigation, fixed dynamic table sorting, refined autosort pin behavior, and simplified the footer FPS display.

### 🐛 Bug Fixes

- **DHT Recovery Correctness**: Fixed stale empty lookups, failed rebind handling, reset peer-slot pressure resend, finished lookup handles, and metadata edge cases.
- **DHT Status Accuracy**: Disabled or no-runtime DHT status now preserves configured bootstrap counts and reports responsive bootstrap nodes uniquely by address family.
- **Protocol and Catalog Hardening**: Hardened DHT KRPC decoding, public identity selection, announce-token behavior under pressure, and catalog recovery from torrent contents.

## Release v1.0.5
### 🚀 New Features
- **Torrent Files Panel**: Added a dedicated files view so you can inspect a torrent’s file tree, follow cleaner relative paths, and watch live per-file activity as downloads and uploads run.
- **Broader Tracker Coverage**: Added UDP tracker support and stronger IPv6 handling, helping superseedr connect to more swarms and work better on modern network setups.

### ✨ Improvements
- **Smoother Startup**: Torrents now roll in gradually during startup, reducing bursty load and making launches calmer and easier to follow.
- **Clearer Live Monitoring**: The peer table now presents addresses and activity more clearly, and multi-torrent views rank by current smoothed traffic for a more useful at-a-glance overview.
- **Better Path and Panel Feedback**: File-path shaping, shared inbox path handling, and file-panel activity rendering are more consistent across local and shared environments.

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- **Pause Reliability**: Pausing a torrent now stops peer activity more reliably so downloads do not keep talking to connected peers after pause.
- **Tracker URL Handling**: Fixed tracker normalization so equivalent tracker URLs are handled more safely, reducing duplicate or mis-prioritized announce behavior.
- **Files Panel Refresh**: Fixed stale or inconsistent file-activity updates so the files view stays in sync more reliably during startup and runtime refreshes.

## Release v1.0.4
### New Features

- **Launcher-Persistent Shared Setup**: Added launcher-side shared configuration commands so installed app and protocol launches can resolve shared mode and host identity without relying on shell environment variables.
- **Expanded Shared CLI Surface**: Added `set-shared-config`, `clear-shared-config`, `show-shared-config`, `set-host-id`, `clear-host-id`, `show-host-id`, `to-shared`, `to-standalone`, `torrents`, `info`, and `files`.

### Improvements
- **Remove/Purge CLI Model**: Reworked deletion controls into `remove` and `purge`, added offline-capable purge behavior when file layout is resolvable, and unified reverse file-path lookup across hash-targeted CLI commands.
- **Cross-Host Shared Ingest**: Shared-mode `.path` adds now use portable shared-root-relative handling so staged torrent ingest can work across mixed-OS clusters instead of leaking host-local absolute paths.
- **Shared Runtime UX & Observability**: Improved shared journal/status semantics, added JSON envelope support across CLI commands, made journal human-readable by default, and clarified shared-mode startup and mount validation behavior.

### Bug Fixes
- **CLI Startup Robustness**: Fixed shared-mode CLI startup so logging failures fall back safely instead of blocking command handling, and improved mount/accessibility errors for missing or unavailable shared roots.
- **Offline Shared Mutation Routing**: Fixed shared-mode offline CLI control so commands mutate shared config directly when no leader is running instead of only queueing requests.
- **Welcome Screen Paste Handling**: Fixed explicit paste behavior so the welcome screen no longer routes pasted torrent input through the normal-mode paste handler.
## Release v1.0.3
### 🚀 New Features
- **Persistent Activity History Charts**: Added on-disk activity history for per-torrent and system activity charts, so chart views can restore meaningful trend data after restart.
- **Expanded Activity Chart Views**: Added richer chart panels for CPU, RAM, disk activity, tuning, per-torrent overlays, and multi-torrent comparisons, with longer-range history views for deeper monitoring.
- **Torrent Data Availability Probing**: Added active data-availability checks that can detect missing or inaccessible torrent data and surface the issue directly in the interface.

### ✨ Improvements
- **Integrity Recovery Scheduling**: Added a dedicated integrity probe scheduler so completed and active torrents are rechecked more predictably without overloading normal download activity.

- **Probe UI Clarity**: Improved the torrent details and probe display so data-availability issues and follow-up checks are easier to understand at a glance.

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- **Per-Torrent Activity History Preservation**: Torrent activity charts now keep their history intact while you search or filter the list, so hidden active torrents do not lose their recorded trend data.
- **Saved-Location Integrity Recovery**: File-availability faults now trigger immediate re-checks only for the affected saved location, preventing unrelated torrents in the same download root from being unnecessarily reprobed.

## Release v1.0.2
### 🚀 New Features
- **Persistent Network History**: Added on-disk network history so charts can restore download, upload, and backoff data after restart.
- **Extended Network Graph Ranges**: Added 3h, 12h, 24h, 7d, 30d, and 1y graph views for longer-range traffic visibility.

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- **DHT Recovery Handling**: Fixed DHT rebind/bootstrap warning handling and added automatic recovery retries so temporary bootstrap failures are less disruptive.
- **Progress Accuracy with Skipped Files**: Fixed completion/progress display for torrents with skipped files to avoid misleading partial-progress states.
- **RSS Network Safety Edge Cases**: Fixed RSS URL safety handling for localhost/private-network edge cases (including IPv6-localhost parsing) and improved stale RSS error cleanup.

## Release v0.9.39
### 🚀 New Features
- **Boundary-Aware Piece Scheduling**: Added a piece-local request path that correctly handles torrents where piece sizes are not aligned to 16 KiB blocks, improving reliability on edge-case torrent layouts.

### ✨ Improvements
- **Smarter Download Request Routing**: Request and cancel generation now use piece-local block tuples, making peer work assignment more consistent after resume/restart and during multi-peer scheduling.
- **More Predictable Completion Flow**: Piece/block coordination is now cleaner in non-aligned layouts, reducing false “in-flight but no progress” behavior under heavy swarm traffic.

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- **Non-Aligned Torrent Stalls**: Fixed a bug where downloads could appear active but stop advancing because needed boundary blocks were incorrectly suppressed.
- **Piece Boundary Handling**: Fixed edge cases where adjacent pieces sharing a global block slot could interfere with each other’s progress.
