Use useBoardFeedPageSize and useDirectoryByAddress so catalog respects
directory postsPerPage, caps feed to guiPostsPerPage * 10 in non-infinite
mode, and conditionally renders Virtuoso based on enableInfiniteScroll.
Updated Android/Electron upload paths to fail deterministically and report consistent stage details, while removing unsafe stage casting and path/package mismatches. This keeps postimages automation behavior intact and makes failures easier to diagnose.
Conditionally build `chainProviders` so empty `urls` arrays are never passed downstream. Replace hardcoded "Chain ticker: " with `capitalize(t('chain_ticker'))` and add the translation key to all locales. Remove the duplicate `isWebRuntime` in `media-hosting-settings.tsx` in favor of the shared implementation in `show-upload-controls`. Add `aria-label` to the directory codes input in `TopbarEditModal`.
Never show 'Downloading thread...' in board feed footer. Backend can surface
thread-level state; sanitize to 'Downloading board' on single-board feeds.
Removes avatar-settings component, avatar-visibility store, and all
avatar rendering from posts. Strips avatar from account JSON, renames
NFT gateway label to media IPFS gateway, removes Polygon RPC and
hide-avatars toggle. Deletes 6 avatar-related translation keys.
Obsolete with pseudonymity mode (user IDs randomized per board) and custom boards
requiring explicit search/subscribe. Unsubscribe suffices for boards.
Add Random/Preferred/None modes, preferred provider selection, and provider-order fallback. Catbox/Imgur/PostImages on Android via WebView; Electron CDP automation for Imgur/PostImages. Hide upload controls on web runtime.
Replace sync setState-in-effect with keyed remount and render-derived patterns in app, error-display, topbar-edit-modal, catalog-filters; use useCurrentTime() instead of Date.now() in hot paths; fix conditional hooks, passive scroll listeners, lodash path imports.
Added `useFileUpload()` and `uploadToCatbox()` to centralize upload behavior and remove duplicated upload code from `post-form.tsx` and `reply-modal.tsx`. The flow now routes Android to `FileUploader`, Electron to hidden-input + catbox upload, and web to a translated fallback alert with consistent upload UI state.
Set repliesPerPage to 500 to avoid Virtuoso pagination sort drift. Add useProgressiveRender with startTransition batching and CSS content-visibility for long reply lists.
Multi-adapter boundary in normalizeDirectoriesData() supports both
communities[] and directories[] upstream schemas. Sync script mirrors
logic and writes canonical format. Preserves directoryCode and features
for future use.
The postsPerSub quota is now calculated from boards with actually loaded hot comments, not total filtered directories. This prevents the list from collapsing to a single post when many boards are empty or unavailable.
Replaced one-off /biz/ and /pol/ checks with a single board-name-to-address resolver built from useDirectories() data. The homepage boards list now consistently colors and links any available directory board without manual hardcoding.
Adds sync-directories.js script that fetches 5chan-directories.json from bitsocialhq/lists and updates the vendored fallback. Runs before generate:assets in prestart and prebuild to ensure the fallback is fresh for every build. Non-fatal: if fetch fails, existing file is kept.
Aligned 5chan’s flat thread reply behavior with plebones by using `useReplies` in flat-old mode with appending account comments and rendering from `updatedReplies` when available. Reply rows now subscribe to `useAccountComment` by `index`, so pending replies transition to confirmed automatically after challenge verification without requiring manual update or refresh.
Replace per-address visibility tracking with a boolean flag so newly subscribed boards appear immediately in the topbar without requiring a modal reopen.
Replaced per-reply useReplies subscriptions in backlink rendering with a precomputed directRepliesByParentCid map from thread-level filteredReplies. Also optimized quote link rendering in comment-content with scoped store subscription, reduced edit menu state churn, and improved DOM lookups with memoization to keep all backlink rendering data-local and eliminate repeated backend-state-driven reference churn during board scroll.
Replaced duplicated quotedByMap construction with useQuotedByMap() hook that subscribes only to post numbers referenced in each thread. Updated registerComments() to skip no-op writes, eliminating unnecessary numberToCid identity changes during feed scrolling.
