The bookmark fix addressed one instance of a defect the TypeScript migration left across the feature entries. app.js stopped being a classic script, so its top-level declarations are no longer shared globals, but the converted entries kept reading them as window properties that nothing publishes. Restore the broken behavior: - ais, aprs, hf-aprs read serverLat, serverLon and haversineKm as undefined, so every positioned packet rendered an empty distance. - ais, aprs, hf-aprs, cw, sat, vdes, wefax, wspr called an undefined postPath, so clear-history and decoder toggles threw. - scheduler read authRole as undefined, so the lazy-load path never self-initialized and the Settings tab opened an inert scheduler. - background-decode read authEnabled as undefined, so control gating fell back to role-only. - vchan read fifteen application values and services as undefined: mode and bandwidth sync, the out-of-band hint, RX audio restart, and the frequency field all silently no-opped on a virtual channel. - vchan wrapped window.refreshFreqDisplay, capturing an undefined original exactly as it did for setRigFrequency, so leaving a channel never restored the application's own frequency display. - _audioChannelOverride was a const that nothing could assign, so RX audio always subscribed to the primary channel. - ftx-family read fmtTime, a helper legacy ft8.js owned locally, so decode bar timestamps rendered empty. Declare the contract once in plugins/host.ts and import it from the feature entries, rather than restoring globals that docs/frontend-architecture.md excludes. trx.state gains jogUnit, rxActive and audioChannelOverride, and makes lastModeName writable; trx.core gains the tuning, RDS, WFM, jog and RX audio services the entries need. vchan interception moves to an interceptFreqDisplay service method that refreshFreqDisplay calls, matching the frequency, mode and bandwidth interception it already registers. Reading registry-built elements through a strict lookup is the same defect as in bookmarks: renderTimelineNeedle guards its result, but schedulerEl throws, so the now-initializing scheduler crashed on the timeline needle group that its own SVG creates. Feature tests move onto a shared host fixture, and entries that now import a common module are bundled through bundleEntry like the other shared-module entries. Covers scheduler self-initialization and the distance path that the bare window reads broke.

# Frontend architecture
|
|
|
|
The HTTP frontend is a strict TypeScript application built with esbuild. Rust
|
|
embeds deterministic JavaScript output from `assets/web/generated`; Cargo does
|
|
not run Node.js or contact the network.
|
|
|
|
## Runtime graph
|
|
|
|
`frontend/src/bootstrap.ts` is the only first-party script referenced by the
|
|
HTML document. Its imports establish startup order for WebGL support, shared UI
|
|
services, decoder dispatch, the local Leaflet AIS adapter, and the application
|
|
coordinator. Leaflet and the Opus decoder remain isolated vendored scripts.
|
|
|
|
Feature entries under `frontend/src/plugins` are ESM bundles. The typed plugin
|
|
loader imports them by feature group and keeps expensive map, scheduling, and
|
|
decoder behavior lazy. Shared code is emitted as content-hashed chunks. The
|
|
decode-history worker is an independent entry compiled against Web Worker
|
|
globals.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies point from application and feature code toward `core` and `api`.
|
|
`api/generated.ts` contains Rust wire formats; `api/client.ts` and focused
|
|
parsers validate untrusted HTTP, SSE, WebSocket, and worker data before it is
|
|
used as typed application state.
|
|
|
|
## Browser host contract
|
|
|
|
Separate lazy bundles cannot share module instances with the stable application
|
|
entry, so they use three intentional host namespaces:
|
|
|
|
| Global | Purpose | Mutation policy |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `window.trx` | Application state, core services, and feature registrations | The root is frozen; lazy features may register only their documented `modules.*` service. |
|
|
| `window.trxPluginRuntime` | Typed decoder registration and message dispatch | Runtime object is installed once; plugins register lifecycle handlers through its API. |
|
|
| `window.trxUi` | Notifications, confirmations, tab accessibility, and control presentation | Installed once by `ui-core.ts`; consumers call methods but do not replace them. |
|
|
|
|
`frontend/src/plugins/host.ts` declares the typed view of `window.trx.state`
|
|
and `window.trx.core` that feature bundles consume. Feature entries import it
|
|
instead of re-deriving the contract, so a service that moves out of the
|
|
application entry is added in one place. Application state that a feature needs
|
|
belongs in `trx.state`, and shared behavior belongs in `trx.core`; a feature
|
|
that has to intercept application behavior registers a `modules.*` method the
|
|
application calls, as the virtual-channel entry does for tuning, mode,
|
|
bandwidth, and frequency display.
|
|
|
|
The WebGL adapter exposes `createTrxWebGlRenderer`, `trxParseCssColor`,
|
|
`trxHslToRgba`, and `trxClearCssColorCache` for the application bundle. Leaflet
|
|
adds `L.TrxAisTrackSymbol` and `L.trxAisTrackSymbol` to the vendored Leaflet
|
|
namespace.
|
|
|
|
The following transitional properties are explicitly part of the lazy-feature
|
|
host contract and are declared in `app.ts`: `lastSpectrumData`, `lastFreqHz`,
|
|
`currentBandwidthHz`, `ft8BaseHz`, `getDecodeHistoryRetentionMs`,
|
|
`applyDecodeHistoryRetention`, `getDecodeRigMeta`, `renderRdsOverlays`,
|
|
`buildAisVesselUrl`, `trxScheduleUiFrameJob`,
|
|
`takeSchedulerControlForDecoderDisable`, `navigateToTab`, `_syncRecorderState`,
|
|
and `refreshRdsUi`. Optional callbacks owned by lazy features are
|
|
`refreshCwTonePicker`, `updateFt8RfDisplay`, `clearSatPredictionDom`,
|
|
`syncWefaxToggle`, `updateAisBar`, `updateVdesBar`, `updateAprsBar`,
|
|
`updateFt8Bar`, `updateSatLiveState`, `applyCwAutoUi`, and
|
|
`applyCwAutoUiFromServer`.
|
|
|
|
This list is closed: new standalone mutable `window` properties are not an
|
|
accepted integration mechanism. Extend an existing typed service or introduce
|
|
an imported interface instead. Removing transitional properties as feature
|
|
boundaries become directly importable remains preferable.
|
|
|
|
## Build and verification
|
|
|
|
The generated directory is removed before every build, preventing orphaned
|
|
compatibility bundles. Stable feature entry names are allowlisted by the Rust
|
|
asset manifest; shared chunks use content hashes. The generic Rust handler
|
|
rejects unknown names and unsupported MIME types and serves embedded assets
|
|
with compression, ETags, and immutable caching.
|
|
|
|
CI installs from `package-lock.json`, caches only npm downloads, type-checks the
|
|
window and worker environments separately, lints, runs unit and DOM tests,
|
|
starts the application in Chromium, regenerates Rust contracts and bundles,
|
|
checks for drift, and runs REUSE validation after generation.
