Cast: card/list views, sort & filter, online voice picker, "Hear a line" sample button, AI character notes, import auto-save. Platform: WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility pass; German UI translation + language picker; installable PWA with offline shell; GZip + content-visibility virtualization + lazy images + Rehearser PCM memory cap (mobile stability); Playwright suite (desktop + iPhone); opt-in minified bundle build. Fixes: screenplay parser false characters; Fish-Speech inline-tag tones; narrator/voice pickers list full library; clone GUI rework; fish.audio import dedup; voice-ID rename; bulk-delete modal.

# Architecture & optimization notes
|
|
|
|
## Current shape
|
|
- **Backend**: FastAPI, modular — `server.py` (app + middleware) → `routes/*.py` (admin, tts, library, sources, stt, conversation, docker, settings) → `core/*.py` (audio, voice, config, validation, tts_helpers, …).
|
|
- **Frontend**: ~15k lines of **plain global-scope JS** in `static/js/*.js`, loaded in order by `static/loader.js` (no bundler/build step). Sections are HTML fragments in `static/sections/*.html` fetched at runtime. Modules communicate via globals (`window._voices`, `$`, `escHtml`, `toast`, `saveMeta`, `loadVoiceLibrary`, …) and some runtime monkey-patching (e.g. `renderVoiceList` is reassigned in `voice-library.js`).
|
|
|
|
## Already optimised
|
|
- **GZip** responses (`server.py`) — ~75% smaller text transfer.
|
|
- **Static caching** middleware (immutable for versioned JS/CSS).
|
|
- **Native virtualization**: `content-visibility:auto` on long-list rows (voice library, online cards, cast cards).
|
|
- **Lazy images** (`loading="lazy" decoding="async"`) across all big lists.
|
|
- **Rehearser memory cap**: decoded PCM is kept to a sliding window (`REH_DECODE_WINDOW`) around the playhead.
|
|
- **AudioContext** instances are closed (iOS limit).
|
|
- **PWA**: `manifest.webmanifest` + network-first `sw.js` (served from root for `/` scope), installable, offline shell.
|
|
- **Concurrency pool** (`runPool` in `utils.js`) for bulk network ops.
|
|
- **Smoke tests**: Playwright (`tests/`, desktop + iPhone profiles).
|
|
|
|
## Build tooling (opt-in) — DONE
|
|
`npm run minify` → `scripts/minify.mjs` concatenates the feature modules **in loader order** into `static/dist/main.min.js` and minifies whitespace/syntax only (**identifiers kept** — inline HTML `onclick="navTo(...)"` and cross-file refs rely on global names). `loader.js` loads this single bundle when `window.APP_USE_BUNDLE === true` (or `?bundle=1`), else falls back to per-file loading — so editing `static/js/*` stays live by default. Verified end-to-end by `tests/bundle.spec.js`. Rebuild the bundle after JS edits if you ship with it enabled.
|
|
|
|
## Staged migration plan (the two big refactors — do incrementally, behind the smoke tests)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Decouple globals → ES modules
|
|
The global scope + monkey-patching is the root cause of the recurring "wiring/timing" bugs (controls bound before the section mounts, etc.). Migrate **one file at a time**:
|
|
1. Add `"type": "module"` loading path; keep a compat shim that re-exposes the few cross-module symbols on `window` during transition.
|
|
2. Convert leaf modules first (`utils`, `settings`, `voice-picker`), exporting explicitly and importing where used.
|
|
3. Replace the `renderVoiceList` monkey-patch with a normal function + an `onRender` hook.
|
|
4. Switch `loader.js` to a single `<script type="module">` entry that imports the graph; `esbuild --bundle` then produces one minified, tree-shaken file.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Split `rehearser.js` (was 196 KB) — IN PROGRESS
|
|
Done incrementally as global-scope ordered files (no ES-module change needed) — each loaded before `rehearser.js` in `loader.js` + added to the bundle list in `scripts/minify.mjs`, verified by `tests/rehearser.spec.js` (parse → cast) and the smoke suite:
|
|
- ✅ `rehearser-parse.js` — `parseScript`, `detectCharacters` (pure; only call-time `SPEAKER_COLORS`).
|
|
- ⬜ `rehearser-cast.js` — `renderCastList`, sort/filter, online voice picker, character research.
|
|
- ⬜ `rehearser-stage.js` — playback, synth cache, pre-decode window, transport.
|
|
- ⬜ `rehearser-train.js` — mic record / STT compare.
|
|
- ⬜ `rehearser-library.js` — IndexedDB session store, import/export, auto-save.
|
|
|
|
**Pattern (proven):** extract a cohesive block whose only cross-file references resolve at *call time* (event handlers), not at module load. Top-level `const rehState` and top-level `addEventListener` registrations must stay ordered — extract those last and load them after their dependencies. Re-run `npx playwright test` after each extraction.
|
|
|
|
## Remaining recommendations
|
|
- Replace remaining silent `.catch(() => {})` with `logErr(context, e)` (helper added in `utils.js`).
|
|
- Full a11y sweep (icon-button `aria-label`s, focus traps, keyboard nav in `createSearchablePicker`) — run the `web-design-guidelines` review.
|
|
- If ever exposed beyond localhost: add an auth token + rate limiting (SSRF is already guarded in `core/validation.py`).
