A "Remove sponsor segments" switch next to "Split by chapters" queues
the download with the same postprocessor pair the CLI's
--sponsorblock-remove sponsor builds (SponsorBlock + ModifyChapters).
The flag persists as a cookie like the other form options, survives in
the queue records, and is carried into retries.
The pair is registered above the chapter-splitting block: yt-dlp runs
same-stage postprocessors in list order, so ModifyChapters has to
rewrite the chapter list before FFmpegSplitChapters cuts the file up,
matching what the CLI builds for --sponsorblock-remove sponsor
--split-chapters. With both toggles on the other way around the chapter
files keep the sponsor segments and the removal desyncs the remaining
chapter timings.

With the format picked per download rather than left on one setting, the
Downloading list gave no way to tell which item was queued as what until
it landed in Completed. The new column labels the format exactly as the
form does, reusing the same option lists, and falls back to the raw value
uppercased for a record queued before an option existed.

Most downloads from a given install land in the same custom directory,
which today means picking it by hand every time. DEFAULT_FOLDER seeds the
folder field once the configuration arrives; the field stays editable, so
per-download folders still work, and a folder already typed this session
is not overwritten.
The value is trimmed of surrounding slashes, and dropped with a warning
when CUSTOM_DIRS is off, since the UI hides the field in that mode and
the download path check rejects a folder anyway.

Clicking a row's checkbox with Shift held takes every row between it and
the last one toggled to the state the click produced, so a stretch of a
long queue can be cancelled without ticking each entry.
The range follows the order the rows are rendered in, which for the
Completed list is the sort the user picked rather than the order the map
holds; the master checkbox takes that order as an input. An anchor whose
row has since left the list (a download finishing moves it to Completed)
falls back to a plain toggle.

A subscription already carries every other download option and applies it to
each video it queues. Clip bounds were the one exception: 4f83174 added them
for one-off downloads and carved subscriptions out, rejecting the fields in the
subscribe route and stripping them in the UI before the request was built. So
the fields sat visible in the shared advanced-options panel while quietly doing
nothing for a subscription.
Carry them like the rest: two fields on SubscriptionInfo, threaded through the
check flow to add_entry. Stored records that predate the fields take the
defaults, since _from_stored filters by field name.
One thing does not carry over. parse_download_options reads a YouTube t=
timestamp from the URL and turns it into a clip start, which is right when you
paste a link to a moment in a video you want. A subscription URL is a channel
or a playlist, so a timestamp left on it says nothing about the videos that
feed will yield, and honouring it would silently truncate every future
download. The subscribe route therefore takes clip bounds only when the caller
sent the fields explicitly; the t= param is still stripped from the stored URL.
Worth knowing when using this: the range is a fixed offset applied to every
video, so it suits feeds with a consistent shape - a standing intro, a fixed
sponsor read - and will cut in the wrong place on a feed without one.

Routine `pnpm upgrade`. Angular 22.0.6 -> 22.1.2 across the runtime packages
and 22.0.7 -> 22.1.4 for the build toolchain, ng-select 23.2 -> 23.11.
This also clears every open npm Dependabot alert. All fifteen were build
toolchain transitives that never reach the runtime image, since the Dockerfile
builds the UI in a separate stage and copies only dist: hono 4.13.2, esbuild
0.28.2, postcss 8.5.26, js-yaml 4.3.1, fast-uri 3.1.5, ip-address 10.5.0, with
undici and @hono/node-server no longer in the tree at all.
Build, lint and both suites pass (44 frontend, 372 backend).

A subscription's name is captured once at subscribe time from the feed's own
title, so playlists — particularly the UULF-prefixed channel-uploads playlists
— all come back named "Videos" and stay that way. Adds an inline editor on the
Name cell, mirroring the existing title-filter edit next to it.
The update route already whitelisted `name` and update_subscription already
applied it, so this is mostly the missing UI. The backend side is validation:
the old `str(changes["name"])` accepted any type, any length and any
whitespace, for a value that is persisted and broadcast to every connected
client. validate_subscription_name now requires a string, collapses interior
whitespace to keep the label single-line, and caps it at 200 characters.
The name is display-only — it is used for the subscription list and log lines,
never for download paths — so renaming cannot move where files land.
The endpoint accepted {ids: [x]} and then rejected anything but exactly one
id, so the schema advertised a batch it never supported. Retry is genuinely
singular: unlike the /delete, /start and /cancel batches, which act on local
state and can't meaningfully fail for one id and not another, each retry
re-extracts the URL and the caller removes that item's done record only once
it is confirmed re-queued. A real batch form would need per-id results in the
response for the caller to know which records to remove; that only becomes
worth designing alongside moving done-record deletion server-side.
/retry has not shipped yet, so there is no compatibility cost.
Addresses a full-project review. Backend correctness and availability:
- ytdl: cancel() only SIGKILLs the child's process group when the child
actually became its own group leader, so a race (or failed setpgrp)
can no longer kill the whole server; kill the group on cancel and on
shutdown to avoid orphaned ffmpeg children
- ytdl: dedicated ThreadPoolExecutor for download supervision so active
downloads can't starve extract_info / live probes on the default pool
- ytdl/main/subscriptions: route fire-and-forget tasks through a
bg_tasks helper that keeps a strong ref and logs failures
- subscriptions: run flat-playlist extraction in an executor and check
feeds with bounded concurrency so one slow feed can't block the loop;
set last_checked on failure so broken feeds aren't retried every 60s
- main: validate ids on /start & /delete and numeric env vars at startup;
return 400 (not 500) on bad subscriptions/update input; serve /history
from memory; move get_custom_dirs off the event loop; restrict t=
stripping to YouTube hosts; drop double percent-decode in state guard
- dl_formats/ytdl: enforce requested caption format via
FFmpegSubtitlesConvertor and strip VTT header metadata only in the
pre-cue region so real dialogue is preserved
- ytdl: throttle progress events, dedup adds against pending, clear
filename/size on error and reject out-of-dir trashcan deletes, pin
fork start-method on Linux only
Frontend:
- retry deletes the done record only after a successful re-add
- surface HTTP errors for delete/start and reset the deleting flag
- ignore late 'updated' events for rows no longer in the queue
- track table rows by map key; FileSizePipe uses base-1024
Also: HTTPS-aware Docker healthcheck, dead-code removal, and shared
helpers for path-containment and yt-dlp option merging. Adds/updates
unit tests throughout (250 backend tests passing).

corepack prepare pnpm --activate without a version was resolving to
12.0.0-alpha.0 (broken pre-release), causing the dockerhub-build-push
job to fail. Adding packageManager field pins it to a stable release.
iOS doesn't have hover, so the tooltip only ever showed on desktop —
where the share-arrow glyph is universally recognised anyway. Aria-
label stays for screen readers.
Web Share fails silently when iOS' share sheet refuses the payload,
typically because the file exceeds the platform's soft size limit
(~50–100 MB depending on iOS version). The previous patch logged to
the console but the user saw nothing — staring at a button that
'does nothing' is poor UX.
Adds two layers of feedback:
1. Pre-flight size check (SHARE_SIZE_WARN_BYTES = 80 MB, conservative
relative to iOS' actual limit) with a confirm() dialog before the
fetch. Avoids spending bandwidth pulling a 150 MB blob into the
browser only for navigator.canShare to reject it.
2. Surfaces canShare-rejection AND share()-failure as a visible
alert() suggesting the user fall back to the download link next
to the share button.
Tested locally with files from 0.7 MB up to 150.7 MB: small files
share unchanged, the 150 MB file now produces a pre-flight warning
the user can dismiss, and any subsequent rejection produces a clear
alert instead of silently no-op'ing.
Adds a share button to the completed-list action row that hands the
downloaded file off to the platform share sheet via navigator.share().
On iOS Safari/Chrome this surfaces the native Save-to-Photos / Save-to-
Files / AirDrop options for videos and images, and Files / 3rd-party
app targets for audio. On platforms without Web Share support (Desktop
Firefox/Chrome/Safari) the button hides itself; the existing download
link remains the universal fallback.
Implementation notes:
- canShareDownloads() requires both navigator.share AND navigator.canShare
(Desktop Safari has the former without the latter; we always intend
to share a file, not a URL)
- shareDownload() fetches the file via the existing buildDownloadLink()
helper, wraps it in a File, then runs canShare() before share() so we
can bail out cleanly on platforms that reject the MIME type
- AbortError (user dismisses sheet) is silenced; other errors logged
- Tooltip on the button explains the iOS behaviour briefly
Refs alexta69/metube#582 — addresses the 'add to Photos.app' request
without depending on the iOS Shortcut, which has had reliability issues
(cf #763).
