#### track edit UX improvements (PRs #741-742, Jan 9)
83
+
84
+
**why**: the portal track editing experience had several UX issues - users couldn't remove artwork (only replace), no preview when selecting new images, and buttons were poorly styled icon-only squares with overly aggressive hover effects.
85
+
86
+
**artwork management** (PR #742):
87
+
- add ability to **remove track artwork** via new `remove_image` form field on `PATCH /tracks/{id}`
88
+
- show **image preview** when selecting new artwork before saving
89
+
- hover overlay on current artwork with trash icon to remove
90
+
- "undo" option when artwork is marked for removal
91
+
- clear status labels: "current artwork", "new artwork selected", "artwork will be removed"
92
+
93
+
**button styling** (PR #742):
94
+
- replace icon-only squares with labeled pill buttons (`edit`, `delete`)
95
+
- subtle outlined save/cancel buttons in edit mode
96
+
- fix global button hover styles bleeding into all buttons (scoped to form submit only)
97
+
98
+
**shutdown fix** (PR #742):
99
+
- add 2s timeouts to docket worker and service shutdown
100
+
- prevents backend hanging on Ctrl+C or hot-reload during development
101
+
102
+
**beartype fix** (PR #741):
103
+
- `starlette.UploadFile` vs `fastapi.UploadFile` type mismatch was causing 500 errors on image upload
104
+
- fixed by importing UploadFile from starlette in metadata_service.py

#### auth stabilization (PRs #734-736, Jan 6-7)
83
109
84
110
**why**: multi-account support introduced edge cases where auth state could become inconsistent between frontend components, and sessions could outlive their refresh tokens.
···
97
123
- `R2Storage.save()` was rejecting `BytesIO` objects due to beartype's strict `BinaryIO` protocol checking
98
124
- changed type hint to `BinaryIO | BytesIO` to explicitly accept both
99
125
- found via Logfire: only 2 failures in production, both on Jan 3

#### timestamp deep links (PRs #739-740, Jan 8)
130
+
131
+
**timestamped comment sharing** (PR #739):
132
+
- timed comments now show share button on hover
133
+
- copies URL with `?t=` parameter (e.g., `plyr.fm/track/123?t=45`)
134
+
- visiting timestamped URL auto-seeks to that position on play
135
+
136
+
**autoplay error suppression** (PR #740):
137
+
- suppress browser autoplay errors when deep linking to timestamps
138
+
- browsers block autoplay without user interaction; now fails silently
