Person follows are already supported (video_watchlist kind='person', add/remove/check
API, and the button shows on person CARDS) — but the person DETAIL page had no way to
follow or see if a person is followed. Added the standard watchlist button to the
person hero: renderWatchlist() builds it + lazily checks the followed state,
toggleWatch() adds/removes via the person-kind watchlist API, wired through the page's
delegated click handler. Same chrome as the movie/show pages.
4 wiring tests; node --check clean.
A shared VideoGet.cardButton({kind,tmdbId,libraryId,title,poster,status,source})
picks the right control (person->eye, movie->get, show->eye when airing/unknown
else get) so every surface stays consistent. Injected into person filmography
(known-for + credits), search results (titles + people), and detail-page cast +
similar/collection rails. Each renderer hydrates watched state after render;
card roots get position:relative so the button anchors; reveal on hover.
person() now returns profile images (thumb+full) and also_known_as. The person
page shows an 'Also known as' line and a Photos rail that opens the shared
fullscreen lightbox (arrows/Esc/counter).
Owned detail pages sample the poster for the per-title glow, but preview/person
pages fell back to the theme accent because their TMDB images are cross-origin
(canvas taint). Added /api/video/img — a same-origin proxy restricted to
image.tmdb.org (SSRF-safe) — so:
- preview (tmdb) detail samples its poster via the proxy → real accent;
- the person page samples the portrait → per-person accent on the ring/glow/role.
Tests: route registered + proxy rejects non-tmdb URLs.
Search / trending / filmography poster cards open the DETAIL page on click, so
the center ▶ read as 'play' wrongly. Swapped it for an italic 'i' info badge
('view details').
- Sort dropdown: Newest / Oldest / Most popular.
- Department filter (Acting / Directing / Writing / …) for multi-hyphenates —
only appears when a person has 2+ departments. Composes with the existing
kind + ownership filters; every chip shows a CONTEXTUAL count (what you'd get
if you clicked it, given the other active filters).
- Age in the hero meta ('47 years old', or lifespan + 'aged N' for the deceased).
- Backend: each person credit now carries its department (cast=Acting,
crew=its TMDB department). Seam test added. 249 video-suite tests pass.
Adds an ownership filter (All / In Library / Missing) next to the kind tabs on
the person page. Both the Known For rail and the full filmography respect it, so
you can see 'what of this person's work do I actually have' (or what's missing).
- Each credit already carries library_id (owned), so filtering is client-side.
- Contextual counts: the kind tabs count within the current ownership filter and
vice-versa, so the numbers always match what you'll see.
- 'In Library' filter glows green (matches the owned ribbon); empty states for
'you have everything' / 'nothing owned yet'.
Person hero glow-up:
- Cinematic ambient — blurred portrait + an accent colour mesh + vignette, masked
to fade into the page (was a flat wash).
- Portrait gets a slowly-rotating accent gradient ring (masked donut, GPU
transform) and a gentle float; an accent ring + glow frame.
- An accent role tagline ('ACTOR' / 'DIRECTOR' …) above a gradient-filled name,
plus a credits-count chip. Honors prefers-reduced-motion.
Performance:
- Long filmography grids use content-visibility:auto + contain-intrinsic-size so
the browser skips off-screen cards (cheap scroll), and skip replaying the
entrance animation as cards recycle.
- Hero layers are static (painted once); only two tiny composited transforms
animate. Posters/photos stay on small TMDB sizes + lazy-load; trending cached;
search debounced + request-sequenced.
Pure visual/perf layer — same data + isolation. Shell/JS tests pass.
Smart back (mirrors music's artist-detail): the top-left back button now
remembers where you actually came from, many layers deep. It keeps an origin
stack ({page} or {detail title}) and stamps each history entry with its layer
depth, so:
- the label is dynamic — '← Back to Search' / '← Back to The Bear' / '← Back to
<person>' — instead of a hardcoded 'Library'/'Back';
- backing out of the first layer returns to the page you started from (Search,
Watchlist, wherever), not always the Library;
- browser Back and our button both unwind the chain one layer at a time, in sync.
Fixes: search → person → back → movie used to mislabel as 'Library' and dump you
in the library.
Next level:
- Search isn't a blank box when idle — a 'Trending this week' rail (TMDB
trending, owned/preview annotated). Returns when you clear the query.
- Person page gets a 'Known For' hero rail (top titles by popularity) above a
full filmography now sorted chronologically (newest first).
Backend: TMDBClient.trending + engine.trending (+library annotation), route
/api/video/trending. Isolated; 237 video-suite tests pass.
Matches the show-detail page's vibe (--vd-accent-rgb glows, full-bleed, rise/
fade entrances) instead of the plain library shell.
Search:
- Cinematic hero — big title, ambient accent glow, a large glowing search bar
that lights up on focus.
- Results are premium 2:3 poster cards: hover lift + accent glow, poster zoom,
gradient overlay, a play affordance, owned/preview ribbon + rating chip.
People render as circular portrait cards. Grouped rows with accent-pill counts.
- Polished empty/hint states with a floating icon.
Person:
- Full-bleed cinematic hero with an ambient blurred-portrait backdrop (per-person
color), a glowing circular portrait, oversized name, meta as glass chips.
- Bio with Read more/less; filmography as the same premium poster cards with
premium pill tabs (All / Movies / TV).
Pure visual layer — same data hooks, routing and isolation. Shell/JS isolation
tests still pass.
Search any movie / show / person (TMDB multi-search) entirely in-app. Results
that you already own link straight to the library detail; the rest open a
TMDB-backed 'preview' detail that reuses the exact same Netflix billboard UI
(direct image URLs, nothing owned/enriched). Everything resolves back into
SoulSync — no external links on un-owned titles.
- Search page (video-search.js): debounced /api/video/search, grouped
movies/shows/people cards (reuses .library-artist-card) with owned/preview
ribbons. People open the person page.
- Source-agnostic detail (video-detail.js): loads from /api/video/detail
(library) or /api/video/tmdb (preview); art helpers pick proxy vs direct URLs;
tmdb shows lazy-load episodes per season; owned-via-tmdb-url auto-redirects to
the library detail.
- 'More Like This' now drills in-app (tmdb detail, redirects if owned); cast/crew
link to a new in-app person page (bio + filmography, each credit owned/preview).
Library credits now carry tmdb_id so owned-item cast is clickable too.
- Backend: TMDBClient.search/full_detail/person (+ shared _parse_extras);
engine.search/tmdb_detail/tmdb_season/person_detail; db.library_id_for_tmdb;
routes /search, /tmdb/<kind>/<id>, /tmdb/show/<id>/season/<n>, /person/<id>.
Isolated (one-way): video-only files, no music imports, music shell untouched.
Seam tests: search/full_detail parsing, tmdb_detail assemble+redirect, search +
person library annotation, library_id_for_tmdb, route registration, shell/JS
isolation. 234 video-suite tests pass.
