New media added server-side was invisible while the app was open - the
client had no channel for library-change notifications, so the home
screen and library tabs sat stale until an app restart.
Each online server now runs a reconnecting websocket push channel
(Plex `/:/websockets/notifications`; Jellyfin/Emby `/socket` with the
dialect deltas, including Emby's capabilities registration), owned per
server by a LibraryEventService supervisor that follows server
online/offline/replaced-client transitions and app lifecycle. Channels
emit one coalesced LibraryChangeEvent per burst on a leading-edge
throttle modeled on Plex Web's repopulate pacing: the first settled
change surfaces immediately and a library scan's flood merges behind
it. Connection failure degrades silently to the stale-refresh paths -
bounded reconnect backoff, re-armed on every status sync.
Consumers pace their reaction through one shared RefreshPacer: burst
debounce, blocked retry while video playback or an active scroll owns
the surface, a cooldown bounding pass frequency during bulk imports,
and credit for committed pull passes so a push landing right after a
fresh load defers to the cooldown's trailing edge.
- Discover runs a debounced full pass and swaps the result in place;
the hero carousel resets only when a pass lands first content, so a
push never yanks a screen the user is reading. Pushed removals drop
from every visible list immediately via the deletion bus, scoped to
the emitting server.
- The visible library tab swaps its data in place: transaction tabs
reload without clearing, and the browse and paginated card grids
refetch their loaded span (Plex Web's repopulateRange) with the
scroll offset anchored on the first visible item and the span
clamped after alpha jumps. Hidden tabs - and tabs behind another
main tab - mark per-library staleness epochs instead and reload when
next shown; epochs are snapshotted at load start so a push racing an
in-flight fetch stays stale.
- The stale-resume and tab-shown paths refetch home hubs (previously
Continue Watching only), covering setups where the socket cannot
connect.

The chip strip sat 24px below the search field and 24px above the first
result. Drop the strip's own top padding (the field's bottom padding
already provides 16px) and halve the results sliver's top padding when
the strip is shown, so both gaps read as an even 16px.
Closing an episode context menu (or its Rate / File Info sheets) on a
show opened from a Home section scrolled the detail page back to the
top, and on shows with many seasons jumped the season selector back to
the entered-from season. The Home path parks invisible focus on the
initial episode/season target; dismissing the menu restored focus to
that parked node, whose focus-gain auto-scroll then yanked the viewport.
Focus chrome is already keyboard-mode-only, so make the focus-gain
reveal match: FocusableWrapper, FocusableChipStateMixin, and
FocusableTileStateMixin now scroll into view only during keyboard/D-pad
sessions. The gate reads the tracker's live state (new
InputModeTracker.currentMode) because the inherited provider is one
frame stale on the first navigation key of a session. The touch OSK
search submit keeps its jump-to-results via an explicit reveal, matching
the existing pointer-mode convention of pairing requestFocus with an
explicit scroll.

Searching a name shared by a movie, a show, and audio drowns the wanted
item in episode and track rows. The search screen now offers kind chips
(All, Movies, TV Shows, ...) above the results; chips derive from the
pre-rank candidate pool, and selecting one re-ranks that kind's
candidates with the full display budget, so a kind crowded out of the
trimmed All view still surfaces everything the servers returned for it.
Chip switches never refetch, and the filter falls back to All when a
refined query no longer returns its kind.
close#2001
getServerBoundPlexClient/getClientForLibrary existed only for their own unit tests; MetadataEditAdapter.backend and Plex's unreachable prefKey fallback and music-kind branches had no production path (edit is double-gated on supportsKind); MainScreenFocusScope's focus aspect, isSidebarFocused, and focusContent were write-only; resolveActivePlexIdentity.preferredAccount was never passed; ProfileRegistry.get was unused outside tests — its removal exposed a stale test contract, now pinned correctly: list() deliberately never serves plex_home rows.
The auto-remove-watched-downloads rule existed twice (DownloadProvider's sweep and OfflineWatchProvider's single-item copy) — the kind/completed/delete/title core now lives once on DownloadProvider, with the watched judgment staying per caller because the offline path fires before metadata can reflect a local mark. OfflineWatchProvider drops five members with no production callers (isSyncing, getPendingSyncCount, isWatched, getViewOffset, getEpisodesWithWatchStatus) plus the sync-service listener that only served them. The downloads screen's three verbatim 'suppressAutoFocus flipped — focus the first item' didUpdateWidget blocks are now one mixin.
The Discover tab fanned out its whole request set twice on every cold
start and replayed slow rows on a shrinking timeout ladder, so a healthy
remote server produced anywhere from 4s to 15s of loading.
Measured against a remote Jellyfin server with four libraries, 24
interleaved cold-start samples per side:
requests 19 -> 9 payload 219 KB -> 94 KB
settled 5231ms -> 2502ms median, 13222ms -> 5927ms p95
Four independent causes:
- Retry policy. `Client.send` resolves on response headers, so the
connect budget covers the server's think time and a slow-but-alive
query raises `connectionTimeout`. Replaying it made the server re-run
the query with a shorter budget than the one it just missed; the
`[10s, 8s, 5s]` ladder turned an 11s answer into an empty row after
23s. Hub surfaces now get one whole-request deadline, retry only
immediate connection errors, and the deadline bounds the whole call
including the request still in flight.
- Request shape. `/Items/Latest` groups a TV library by series, so its
rows are Series folder dtos and `RecursiveItemCount`/`ChildCount` cost
a DB count each, per row. Hub rows now ask for `Overview` only; watch
state survives because Jellyfin derives `UserData.Played` from
`UnplayedItemCount` when the count fields are absent. `/Shows/NextUp`
sends `NextUpDateCutoff` to bound the server's series-key scan, and
`Thumb` leaves `EnableImageTypes` since nothing reads it. `UserData`
and `PremiereDate` leave the browse set: neither is an `ItemFields`
member, so the server dropped them anyway.
- Fan-out. Per-library hubs ran in batches of three separated by a
barrier, so one slow library stalled every library behind it. A
sliding window keeps the same peak concurrency without head-of-line
blocking. Concurrent `fetchLibraries` calls now share one `/Views`
instead of racing two identical round trips, Plex's global and music
hub legs start together, and Jellyfin gets Plex's pool tuning.
- Duplicate pass. `DiscoverScreen.initState` starts a load and the
online-entry hook asked for a full refresh on top of it, which
`CoalescedLoadCoordinator` correctly queued as a trailing pass. The
hook now calls `primeRefresh`, which rides along with a load already
in flight; profile switches still go through `fullRefresh`.
Refs #1784
Consolidates duplicated logic behind shared implementations — paginated
grid tabs, focus chrome, cached remote stores, sheet selection columns,
the server artifact store and a test fixture layer — and removes code
that had become unreachable. Net reduction of about 5,500 lines with no
behaviour change.
Where a fix had landed separately in code that moved into a shared
helper, the fix was re-applied inside the helper rather than left behind
in the copy that went away.
The search screens, the out-of-band auth dialogs, the live TV guide and the
list-download paths each carried their own copy of the same shell. Extracts
SearchInputField and PendingAuthDialog and routes the duplicated download
and guide helpers through one implementation.
Introduces shared seams for paginated views, D-pad reorder, media control
routing, async singletons and the device method channel, then points the
open-coded copies at them.
Also removes unused models and duplicated provider/server plumbing, folds
the twice-implemented artifact store in the server, and factors the
repeated Flutter toolchain prologue in CI into a composite action.
close#1514
A query submitted from the companion remote now behaves like a submit
instead of focus-to-type: TvKeyboardController closes an already-open
OSK and lands focus on the input without reopening it, then the shared
handleSearchSubmit path runs the search and focuses the first result.
Also guard DebouncedMediaSearch against selection-only controller
notifications re-arming the debounce into a duplicate fetch.
