Progress assumed every read had filled the buffer, so a peer trickling
small chunks was reported at up to several times its real rate. The
rate now comes from the bytes received since the last report.
A NAT that drops an idle mapping leaves the server socket looking
connected while the server can no longer reach us, and nothing errors:
peers stop finding us and searches go unanswered until a restart. The
server socket now carries TCP keepalive (idle 10s, interval 2s, ten
probes), which keeps the mapping alive and turns a dead path into a read
error within about half a minute, as Nicotine+ does. The server stopped
answering ServerPing (code 32) long ago, so an application ping is no
substitute. Windows gets a no-op until the daemon ships there.
Opening a user's profile in SoulseekQt or Nicotine+ asks that peer
directly (peer code 15), and a peer that never answers shows an endless
spinner. The reply (code 16) carries no description or picture, the
configured upload slot count, how many uploads are waiting, and whether a
slot is free right now, which is what the reference clients send.
soulfind has reported the host's LAN address for a loopback login since
1eab2e8 (November 2025), so the client dials the mocks there and a
listener bound to 127.0.0.1 refuses it: every upload and most downloads
failed against a current soulfind while the e2e suite, whose mocks
already bind all interfaces, stayed green.
"Download folder" in SoulseekQt and Nicotine+ asks the sharer for that
one folder (peer code 36) instead of the whole share, and a sharer that
never answers leaves the folder download hanging. The requested folder
now comes back as a FolderContentsResponse (code 37), which carries a
directory listing in the same form a browse does, so the two share one
codec. The browse and folder replies also share one reply helper.
Every reply to a peer's search claimed a free upload slot, no speed and
an empty queue, whatever the sharer was doing, and searchers rank
sources on exactly those fields. A reply now says whether a slot is
free, the bytes per second of the last completed upload, and how many
uploads are waiting.
Dispatch read one byte of the code, so a code with a non-zero high byte
was handled as its low byte. Message::get_message_code now reads the
whole little-endian uint32 and handlers register by u32. PeerInit and
PierceFirewall, the only frames with a one-byte code, get their own
accessor for the listener's first frame.
A search token was the first five hex digits of the query's MD5, so two
queries could share one, and a peer's answer to either landed in whichever
search the map handed back first. Tokens now come from a counter, which
no two live searches can share.
The e2e test uses two queries that collide under the old scheme.
A broad query against a big share was answered with every match, so one
search could hand the whole index to a stranger, and every such search
did it again. A reply now carries at most MAX_SEARCH_REPLY_FILES (150,
Nicotine+'s default), which is more sources than any searcher scrolls
through.
The keys overlay scrolled with its own counter, a fixed page of ten and a
usize::MAX sentinel that the renderer clamped back; it now reads through
the same LogView as the chat and room logs, so the page is the window it
last drew and the half-page keys work there too.
One pane_area lookup and one page_of helper replace the pane-to-area match
that page_size, highlighted_name_end and the mouse hit test each repeated,
and list_jump takes its page as a usize so the callers stop converting.
The pane number keys are one range arm over FocusedPane::ALL, whose index
is the declaration order. The row layout carries each pane's weight beside
it instead of re-matching with an unreachable arm, and the help columns are
measured from the lines already built rather than built again for their
width. The shortcut legend borrows its static keys instead of allocating
three strings per entry per frame.
The sideways keys the results had (h/l, arrows, 0 and $) now scroll a
transfer's file name and a query too, each list on its own. The browse tree
and the room list take Home/End, PgUp/PgDn and the vim jumps like the main
lists, and a chat log, room or private, pages back through its history and
holds its place while new messages arrive; what arrives meanwhile counts as
unread until the reader returns to the end.
The results pane now has the whole width, where a long file name needs it,
and Searches, Downloads and Info share the row underneath. Tab and Shift-Tab
walk the panes, z zooms the focused one to the window, w hides it so the
others widen, and its number brings it back. Every list takes the same
navigation keys, the shortcuts bar wraps instead of cutting keys off, and ?
lists every key by pane, scrolling on a short terminal.
Follows up on #55.
Scrolled rows cost 31.7ms per frame at 30k results against 13.3ms on
develop, because every row segmented its whole filename into grapheme
clusters. Walk back from the end for at most one column of cells and
forward for at most the offset, so a row costs the column width rather
than the filename, and drop unicode-truncate for unicode-width. A tail
never starts on a combining mark.
Closes#54.
A download can now be cancelled whether it is queued, in progress, or
paused. Cancelled is a terminal status: the store refuses to overwrite
it, the status channel relays nothing after it, the partial file is
deleted, and the transfer thread releases its socket at its next
one-second poll instead of the 30s read deadline. A queued download that
is cancelled declines the peer's later offer with TransferResponse
"Cancelled", and an inbound file connection for it is refused. A fresh
download of the same file evicts the dead row so it is not shadowed,
and a cancelled transfer is not re-queued after a restart.
Surfaces: Client::cancel_download, download.cancel over RPC, `transfer
cancel <user> <path>` on the CLI (which also stops an upload by that
name), and x in the transfers pane, where d dismisses the row.
Closes#55.
While [2] Results is focused the Info pane describes the highlighted
result, so a truncated path can be read in full. h/l (or the arrow keys)
scroll the filename column by display cells, 0 and $ jump to either end
of the highlighted name, and Home/End, g/G, PgUp/PgDn and Ctrl-f/b/d/u
move through the list; the same keys work while a filter is being typed.
Ctrl chords are no longer read as their bare letter: outside [2] they do
nothing, where before Ctrl-d deleted a search and Ctrl-c opened rooms.
Space after a filter that matches nothing no longer indexes an empty
list.
A long-running daemon that lost its TCP connection to the server reported
session_loss "disconnected" and answered every command from the dead session
until a manual restart. Two causes:
- the daemon owned one session for its lifetime with no reconnect at all; and
- the lib's ServerActor queued a Login sent while disconnected instead of
dialing, so even asking it to log in again never re-established a connection.
Reconnect on a dedicated thread with 1s-60s capped backoff, only for a dropped
connection to a session this process owns (never a displaced or borrowed one,
which would start a login war or fight another daemon). Let a Login through the
disconnected guard so a parked actor dials again, and bound that dial with
connect_timeout so a blackholed route cannot park the actor thread. Reset the
message reader, the queued backlog and the login verdict on disconnect so a
partial frame or stale Some(false) cannot wedge the reconnected session.
Announce the drop once per outage and re-join rooms and re-watch users on
recovery; the daemon main loop is back to save-and-stop so `daemon stop` stays
responsive during an outage. Update the session_loss event summary, which no
longer means the session is gone for good.
The e2e job caught this: adding status and file columns to the text record
broke `room_users_lists_who_is_in_the_room`, which asserts the line equals
the username. That test encodes a real contract -- the text output is a
roster to pipe into other commands -- and reformatting it was scope this
change did not need. The statistics stay on the record for `--json`.
Reproduced the failure locally against soulfind, then confirmed the same
test passing with the fix.
The e2e job proved nothing about watching: it passed because the suite has
no test that exercises it. Two now run against a real soulfind.
- a watch reply carries status and share statistics in one message, checked
against a subject sharing a known two files, and unwatching drops both the
watch and the snapshot
- a username the server does not know is answered with an absence flag and
must not stay in the watch list
Also reads the two obsolete fields of the reply as the two 32-bit values the
server writes, matching soulfind and the sibling GetUserStats (36) handler.
The byte count is identical, so this is not a behaviour change -- but the
handler now says what the wire actually carries.
Running the e2e suite against a real soulfind showed the per-member slots
field was implemented backwards. The wire field is `slotsfull` -- a boolean
that is true when the member's upload slots are all occupied -- not a count
of free ones. `slots_free: u32` named it, documented it and printed it as
the opposite of what the server means, so a caller reading it would pick the
busiest peer to download from.
- types: `slots_full: bool`, with the wire name in the doc comment
- the DTO, the `room users` output and SKILL.md follow
- a new e2e test joins a room with a member sharing a known three files and
asserts the counts, the roster alignment and the slot flag against
soulfind, so the parsing is checked against a real server rather than only
against frames this repo wrote itself
The statistics parsed from the JoinRoom reply were reachable only from the
library. They answer the question `room users` already exists to ask -- who
is in here, and are they worth downloading from -- so they belong on its
output rather than behind a second call.
- proto: room.member_stats, with a RoomUserStatsDto carrying status, share
counts, free slots and country
- SessionApi::room_member_stats, so local and remote sessions stay
interchangeable; the status word is decoded through one shared helper
rather than a third copy of the match
- `room users` now emits status, average_speed, shared_files,
shared_folders, slots_free and country, each null when the server said
nothing, documented in SKILL.md
- docs/openrpc.json regenerated from the wire types
The watch subscription was reachable only from the library. It is most
useful against a daemon -- that is the session that stays connected long
enough to receive the server's status pushes -- so it needs the wire.
- proto: user.watch / user.unwatch / user.watched, with a Watched response
- SessionApi gains watch_user / unwatch_user / watched_users, so a local and
a remote session are still interchangeable above the seam
- CLI: `watch add`, `watch remove`, `watch list`, documented in SKILL.md
including the caveat that a one-shot run's watch ends with the run
- docs/openrpc.json regenerated from the wire types
Adds the server-side watch subscription a buddy list needs: WatchUser (5)
asks the server to keep pushing a user's status, UnwatchUser (6) cancels it.
The reply to a watch carries the user's current status and share statistics,
which merge into the existing per-user snapshot read via Client::user_info.
Issue #47 asked for AddUserList (141) / WatchedUserAdded (142) /
WatchedUserRemoved (143). Those codes are EnableRoomInvitations,
ChangePassword and AddRoomOperator in the Soulseek protocol -- there are no
such messages on the wire. Watching is codes 5 and 6, so that is what this
implements.
- message/server/watch_user.rs: WatchUserHandler (code 5), tolerant of an
absent user and of a truncated frame
- MessageFactory::build_watch_user / build_unwatch_user
- Client::watch_user / unwatch_user / watched_users
- The watch reply has no privileged flag, so it preserves whatever an
earlier GetUserStatus recorded rather than asserting false
The JoinRoom (code 14) reply carries, after the membership list, four
parallel vectors describing each member: status, share statistics, free
upload slots and country. The handler stopped after the usernames, so all of
it was discarded. It is now parsed and exposed as Client::room_member_stats.
Issue #48 asked for RoomStats (57) and RoomListStats (55). Those codes are
UserInterests and MyRecommendations in the Soulseek protocol; there is no
RoomStats message on the wire. Per-room user counts already arrive with
RoomList (64), which the client handles, and the per-member statistics are
part of the JoinRoom reply -- so that is where this adds them.
- join_room.rs: parse the stat vectors, each bounded by the payload so a
hostile count cannot hang or overallocate
- types::RoomUserStats; every field looked up positionally so a server
sending short vectors (or omitting countries) does not shift the roster
- ServerMessage/ClientOperation::RoomMemberStats and the context snapshot
behind Client::room_member_stats, replaced on each rejoin
A completed row used to ignore d: only a queued transfer could be pulled
out of the list, so a finished one sat there until the next restart. d
now goes through one handler that drops a finished row whatever the
session thinks of it — a completed transfer can live only in this window,
restored from an earlier run, where there is nothing to forget.
The finished-status test was spelled out twice in clear_finished_downloads
and had to agree by hand; both callers now share is_finished().
