Double search results per query (20→40), increase query budget (15→25),
use more tags per signal (6→10-12), index more new channels per refresh
(5→10). Remove the YT logo from the header.

Replace yellow accent (#f5a623) with white (#ffffff) across the entire
app. Flatten VideoCard grid variant by removing zinc-900 card background
so content sits directly on the page. Simplify active states, badges,
progress bars, and hover effects throughout.

- VideoCard: actions now hover-only everywhere (was always-visible on mobile)
- Watch: remove Good/Bad rating chips — Like covers positive signal,
dismiss/skip covers negative. Fewer buttons, same data.
- Watch: PiP and Theater are now icon-only (no label)
- Watch: increase content gap to gap-4/gap-5 for more breathing room

- VideoCard list variant: strip URLs/affiliate links before rendering,
collapse to 1 line (was 2 lines of raw text including https:// spam)
- DescriptionBox collapsed preview: 2 lines / 200 chars before "Show more"
(was 4 lines — too much affiliate crap before you can dismiss it)
- Full description still shown when expanded in Watch view
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Default list view across all pages (Home, Following, History, Queue,
ContinueWatching, Liked, Discovery, SearchResults, Channel)
- Watch.jsx mobile: smaller chips/title/avatar/meta, hide tags + keyboard
hint on mobile, tighter gaps, compact description padding
- Fix mobile bottom nav showing focus outline on tap
- Fix _update_affinity to write negative entries (not just positive) so
dislikes/dismissals on unseen content actually register
- Dismissing a discovery video now fires -3.0 affinity against its tags,
matching the dislike weight

Ranked feed — affinity was broken:
- Was looking up user_tag_affinity by v.category (e.g. "Science & Technology")
but affinity is stored using fine-grained video tags ("linux", "rust", etc.)
- Now uses SUM across all matching affinities: category OR any tag found in the
video's tags JSON via instr() — up to 5 matches to prevent runaway scores
Ranked feed — completion rate now influences channel scoring:
- Added avg_completion_pct to channel_stats CTE (AVG of completion_percent)
- Channels where you finish videos score higher; channels you bail on score lower
- Defaults to 50% (neutral) for channels with no tracked completions
Progress endpoint — backend auto-watched safety net:
- If completion_percent reaches ≥90% on a video >60s, mark watched automatically
- Catches cases where browser closes before the 10s debounce fires
- Guards against double-calling _update_affinity with not prev_watched check
VideoPlayer — seamless local file switch:
- Removed switchedToLocal state which caused a race condition: video loaded with
local_file_url already set but flag was still false, requiring a page refresh
- local_file_url from the backend is the single source of truth (backend gates
it with os.path.exists so it only appears when the file is actually on disk)
- Show spinner while video metadata loads, then immediately show local player
if file exists — no YouTube flash for already-downloaded videos
- After download completes, single refetchVideo() picks up the new URL and
React re-renders directly into local player

- Rewrite list_channels to run exactly 4 SQL queries regardless of channel
count: channel rows, aggregated video stats (GROUP BY), new-video counts,
and latest video (derived-table JOIN replaces per-row correlated subquery)
- Remove dead _CHANNEL_STATS_SELECT (orphaned after the rewrite)
- Fix upload_frequency_days: use pre-computed date_span_days from vstats
instead of a broken per-channel db.execute() call
- Restrict new_counts query to id_csv so it uses idx_videos_channel_indexed
- markChannelsSeen: optimistic setQueryData instead of invalidateQueries,
eliminating a full channel-list re-fetch on every Following page visit
- DownloadIndicator idle poll: 10s → 30s (no need to hit DB when idle)

List variant:
- Mobile thumbnail w-32 (128px) instead of w-56 (224px) — much less dominant
- Title 12px mobile / 14px desktop (was 15px everywhere)
- Channel/meta 10px mobile / 11px desktop
- Channel avatar shown next to channel name on desktop
- Description hidden on mobile, line-clamp-2 on desktop (was line-clamp-3)
- Actions always visible on mobile (hover:opacity on desktop only)
- Tighter spacing (gap-3, px-2, py-2)
Grid variant:
- Removed description entirely — too cluttered on narrow columns
- Title 12px mobile / 13px desktop
- Channel/meta 10px everywhere
- Avatar 28px mobile / 32px desktop

- App-shell layout (height:100dvh, only main scrolls) so the bottom nav
is a natural flex child and never disappears regardless of browser
chrome show/hide behaviour
- Bottom nav reduced from h-16 to h-14, icons from 20px to 18px, labels
from 10px to 9px — slimmer bar, still readable
- Header: min-w-0 on search prevents horizontal overflow; user/sign-out
hidden on mobile (accessible via Settings); logo shortened to "YT" on
mobile; px-3 / h-12 on mobile instead of px-4 / h-14
- Grid card descriptions hidden on mobile (hidden sm:block) — reduces
height cramping in the 2-column feed
- scrollToTop() utility replaces window.scrollTo so pagination still
scrolls to top within the new scroll container

Reading from the channels query cache was unreliable (cache might not be
loaded, or channel not followed). Add c.thumbnail_url AS channel_thumbnail_url
to _VIDEO_SELECT so every video response carries its channel avatar directly.
VideoCard uses it with cache as fallback.

Card wrapper overflow-hidden was clipping description text at the card
boundary. Move overflow-hidden + rounding to the thumbnail only so the
card body text has room to render fully.

Date and views share a meta line; description shows up to 2 lines below —
gives enough context to judge a video during discovery without opening it.
Both fields are optional so cards without them stay compact.

VideoCard grid: YouTube-style layout — channel avatar circle (falls back
to letter) left of title/meta, avatar is clickable to go to channel page,
date on its own line for breathing room, badges inline with channel name
Bottom nav: env(safe-area-inset-bottom) so it clears iOS home indicator,
active tab gets a soft accent pill behind the icon, slightly bolder label
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add bottom tab bar (Home/Following/Discover/Downloads/Settings) for mobile
- Fetch and display channel banner images on channel pages
- Fix ChannelCard: channels without a local DB id now follow+navigate on click
