Without a cached header the channel showed only a spinner, and when the
channel request failed while the videos request succeeded (no cache to
build the channel from) it rendered nothing at all; both left the tvOS
remote with nothing to focus. Cancel stops at the error view and its
Retry, since a sidebar channel is a tab root that cannot be popped; the
blank state now shows the load error with Retry on every platform.
Delete declarations that Periphery reports unused on every platform that
compiles them (iOS, macOS, tvOS), including nine views used only by their
own previews. Platform-gated code still used on another platform, device-
only MPV render paths, migration models, CloudKit record names, App
Intents metadata and unused parameters are kept.
On the iPhone Duo exterior display the vertical status bar adds an 84pt
trailing safe area inset, which left the channel banner short of the
screen edge. The banner and its gradient are now widened by the outer
container's horizontal insets on compact layouts and offset so each side
bleeds by its own inset; the avatar and name stay centered on the content
width. iPad/Mac keep using backgroundExtensionEffect.
The main button's subscribe/unsubscribe never told the destination
membership loader, so "Subscribe On…" kept a stale checkmark for the
current account — and tapping that row would do the opposite of what
the mark promised.
Also: the menu item and success toast now name the account the write
lands on when more than one destination is offered, and "Subscribe On…"
no longer waits for the channel request — the cached header stands in
until the load answers.
Residual round after the macOS fix verification, five closures:
A connection refusal or a failed DNS lookup arrived as APIError.unknown,
which no classifier reads — so an account pointed at a downed instance
never went unreachable, never fell back to local data, never armed a
retry. New APIError.connectionFailed carries the system's own sentence
and lands as unreachable/offline in AccountsManager, InstancesManager
and the credential probe; a refused host now classifies in seconds
instead of never.
Subscriptions' periodic retry armed only for networkError, while the
local fallback's yatteeServerRequired — shown exactly when the account's
server could not be reached — waited on a status expiry nothing was
watching. FeedLoadState.warrantsPeriodicRetry gates on the context's
unavailability, so that screen heals on its own too, and an account that
genuinely has no Yattee Server still never loops.
The switcher dropped every context of a switched-off source, leaving the
toolbar badge pointing at a menu its own selection had vanished from.
listedContexts keeps the rows with their status in the title ("— Source
switched off"), isSwitchable refuses the pick, and the current context
keeps its checkmark.
The sidebar footer's switcher row overflowed the 140 pt column minimum:
the width floor now sits on the menu itself and ViewThatFits drops the
caption — the part the icon already says — before the account name loses
characters.
The channel menu exposed a raw SF Symbol name as its accessibility
title; the label is now a real Label rendered iconOnly, so the AX bridge
hears "Subscription Options".
MAC5: membership lives in an observable loader started from ChannelView's
task, outside the NSMenu content SwiftUI never runs lifecycle for; rows are
Toggles so the mark renders on macOS, and writes toast Subscribed or
Unsubscribed with the destination name.
MAC13: a destination whose context fails validation is disabled, the same
gate the plain Subscribe button uses.
`correctIfContextRemoved` read a locally missing account as a deleted one
and reset the context with `setContext(.local)` — a new timestamp and a
pending upload. Now that foreground activation calls it, it ran before
the fetch that delivers the account record: a perfectly good remote
choice was reset and then published over everybody else's. It now asks
`AccountsManager` for a repair keyed on the deletion tombstone, which is
the same repair a deletion performs — a signed-in login on the same
server when there is one, the replaced choice's timestamp, nothing
uploaded. The toast names where the selection actually landed.
Adopting a synced context that named a deleted account repaired it but
kept whatever upload the previous choice still owed, so the sync engine
published the automatic fallback under that choice's timestamp — exactly
what not stamping it "now" exists to prevent. The adoption clears the
flag, and only on adoption: a local choice that outranks the repair keeps
its own upload.
The channel button's subscription lookup is fenced to the channel and the
round it was asked in, so an answer that lands after the user has walked
on — or after the account behind it changed — no longer writes itself
into the button on screen. Context and credential changes ask again. A
destination toggle is compared against the effective context rather than
the raw selection: the menu offers Local precisely when the selected
account cannot be written to, and that toggle has to be the one the
button then shows.
The destination rows forget their checkmarks when the logins change. The
answers describe credentials that have been replaced, and the tvOS picker
deliberately stays open across exactly that.
The subscriptions settings screen counts and exports what it is actually
reading from. The fetch behind both already followed the effective
context while the branch and the footer followed the selection, so an
unavailable account meant local data described as the server's.
The legacy `subscriptionAccount` migration refused to adopt a context
whose account had not synced yet and was never retried, leaving a fresh
install on local until the next launch. A synced account arriving now
retries it; the migration's own guards keep it a one-way move that never
overrides a choice made in the meantime.
The remaining negative-able Piped counts — likes, channel subscribers and
videos, playlist video counts — go through `PipedSentinel.count` like the
views and upload dates already did.
Subscribing went wherever the selected account happened to be, and the
button offering it read the local store first — so under a server account
it claimed a channel was subscribed when only the device knew about it.
The button now asks the active provider and nothing else, except under a
local context, where the local store is that provider and can answer
without a hop.
The channel menu gains a destination list: local, plus every account
whose backend does subscriptions, whose instance is switched on, and
which has a credential on this device. A row names its own target, so it
deliberately does not care whether the selected context can be written
to — that is precisely the case where naming somewhere else is the only
way to subscribe at all. The main button is disabled instead, with the
reason beside it. tvOS reaches the same list through its own button and a
full-screen picker, because a menu cannot be driven with a remote.
Membership is asked for only once the rows are on screen: an unwarmed
provider answers by fetching that account's entire subscription list, and
asking every destination up front is a burst nobody requested. Answers
carry the round they were asked under, and "not asked yet" is kept apart
from "asked, not subscribed" — a checkmark the user acts on must not be a
guess.
SubscriptionService grows the destination-parameterized subscribe,
unsubscribe and membership calls the menu writes through, with the
context-implicit ones left as wrappers over the current context. A
membership answer that outlived its login now says nothing rather than
"no". Building a provider moves behind SubscriptionProviderFactory, which
is what lets a test see which destination a write was routed to without a
server behind it.
The unsubscribe-only screens are untouched: they act on the account being
browsed, which is the account whose list they are showing.
When an Invidious/Piped account is active, several views read the local
SwiftData subscription store instead of the account, so counts
contradicted each other (Home tile said 10 while the Channels list
showed the server's 2):
- Home Channels tile now uses the provider's count via new
SubscriptionService.cachedSubscriptionCount (fetched once in the
background when the server cache isn't populated yet)
- Export footer and export content use the active account's list;
export runs async with a spinner and surfaces fetch errors as a toast
- CSV/OPML import routes through SubscriptionService.importSubscriptions,
subscribing on the server for server accounts instead of silently
writing to the invisible local store
- ChannelView subscribe-state is corrected via the provider after the
optimistic local-store read; unused *Sync write helpers removed
- Server-account subscribe/unsubscribe/import now post
subscriptionsDidChange so other views refresh
- New "Delete Local Subscription Data" section in Subscriptions
settings (visible with a server account) clears the local store and
queues CloudKit deletions so iCloud doesn't restore it
The navigationBarDrawer search field on iPad added a resting scroll
position above the banner on iOS 27, letting the view scroll past the
banner top with the mirrored banner filling the gap. iPhone keeps the
drawer placement since its header reserves space for the search bar.
iOS 27 changes the default scroll edge effect style to hard, which
draws a sharp cutoff line over the channel banner and video info
gradient extending under the toolbar.
The content type picker in the center .principal toolbar slot is what
constrains the .searchable field to the trailing edge. Dropping the
picker when a search was submitted let the toolbar reflow and the search
field re-center. Keep the picker in place and disable it while searching
instead.
Replace the centered avatar/name toolbar title with the
About/Videos/Shorts/Streams/Playlists segmented picker. The channel
avatar and name move to the leading edge next to the view options
button, in their own glass capsule (sharedBackgroundVisibility(.hidden)
+ glassEffect on macOS 26). Add spacing between the channel banner and
the content below now that the inline picker is gone.
Add a Custom swatch to the appearance settings accent color grid,
backed by a hex value stored in settings (synced via iCloud like the
rest). iOS uses the native ColorPicker wheel; macOS uses a circular
swatch that opens NSColorPanel, since the SwiftUI color well looks out
of place among the circles. All accent consumers now read the resolved
color through SettingsManager.resolvedAccentColor.
The indigo preset is retired from the grid but kept in the enum, so
users who selected it keep their color until they pick another one.

Place the view options control on the leading (`.navigation`) edge on
macOS so it is consistently the first/leftmost toolbar button across all
views, instead of sitting on the right next to the search field in
search views and on the left in non-search views.
Each affected view gains a computed `viewOptionsPlacement` (`.navigation`
on macOS, `.primaryAction` elsewhere) so iOS/iPadOS/tvOS keep the
button trailing. Search-style views (Search, InstanceBrowse) declare the
view options item first so it renders left of the search-filters button;
their flexible spacer is kept to right-pin the search field. Channel's
fixed spacer between view options and the channel menu is now iOS-only.
The .searchable modifier lived inside iOSChannelContent, which body only
renders once the channel network fetch completes, so the search field
appeared only after videos loaded. Hoist the search modifier chain into a
channelSearchable wrapper around the load-state Group in body so it shows
immediately in every state (iOS nav-bar drawer and macOS toolbar).
channelMenuIcon gated the notification lookup behind the network-loaded
channel object, forcing the icon to person.fill while loading and swapping
to bell.fill afterward. Use channel?.id.channelID ?? channelID (the same
fallback as refreshSubscription) so the bell state is correct from the
loading phase, since notificationsEnabled(for:) only needs the ID string.
Plain-Form sheets rendered as columns-style content floating inside
oversized fixed frames on macOS. Anchor these panels to their toolbar
buttons as popovers instead, sized to content; iOS/tvOS keep sheets.
- Search and PeerTube explore filters apply live (Cancel never
reverted anything anyway) and dismiss on outside click
- Subscriptions/Manage Channels "Subscriptions Data" opens as a sheet
from the popover's onDisappear via a pending flag, since presenting
while the popover dismisses gets swallowed
- Media browser view options drop navigation chrome on macOS
Render subscriber count, Subscribe button, and (for subscribed
channels) description in the tvOS loading state instead of just
avatar + name + spinner. Seed the in-memory author cache when
navigating to a channel from a video so the first-time channel
view has a name and avatar to display immediately.
These views rendered video thumbnails without passing watchProgress, so the
progress bar was silently missing. Apply the existing pattern from
SubscriptionsView: maintain a watchEntriesMap and forward watchProgress(for:)
to VideoRowView/VideoCardView at each call site.
Surface the existing in-channel search feature on tvOS as a final tab
after Playlists. Selecting it reveals a search field and results area
below the tab row, reusing the same API and result views as iOS/macOS.
Expose the grid columns picker in SubscriptionsView and ManageChannelsView
inline sheets, and track viewWidth in ChannelView's tvOS GeometryReaders so
the shared ViewOptionsSheet can compute a meaningful column range.

On tvOS, ContentUnavailableView inside a Group doesn't expand to fill
available space — it sizes to content and aligns top-leading. Add
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) to all instances
so they center correctly in their parent containers.
Display the view options button, channel menu, and content type tabs
immediately when the cached header is shown, instead of waiting for
the full channel data to load. The spinner now appears only in the
content area below the tabs.
