The version poller already diffs /api/version against the manifest
captured at boot -- hot-swapping changed CSS, reloading for changed
JS/HTML once playback allows -- but only on its own 60s tick or when the
tab regains visibility. Pressing refresh now runs that same check in the
background, so a tab left open across a deploy picks the new build up
when the user asks for fresh content rather than up to a minute later.
App.version.checkNow() exposes it; with no baseline (the endpoint was
down at boot) it just adopts the current manifest, since there is nothing
to compare against yet.
Verified against the running app: appending to style.css and pressing
refresh swapped the tag to style.css?v=<hash> with the page still alive,
and appending to a .js file reloaded the page.

Single fullscreen player state everywhere (desktop/Android/iOS/feed) instead
of the old modal-vs-native-fullscreen split, with custom controls: draggable
timeline with buffered range, dynamically-escalating skip buttons (double-tap
zones too), per-video format switching, favorites, PiP with auto-PiP on
backgrounding, volume swipe, TikTok-style HUD auto-hide, and swipe-down/
back-button/close-button dismissal. Reels feed reuses the same skip/format/
PiP logic via the new customPlayer.js shared module.

Layered progressive polish on the warm classic + brass theme:
- Card entrance animation on first mount (virtualizer-aware)
- Cursor-tracking brass spotlight border on cards
- Thumbnail skeleton shimmer until the poster paints
- Hover video preview after a short dwell (only when formats resolved)
- View Transition + blurred-poster ambient backdrop on player open
- Favorite heart pop + expanding ring on add
- ⌘K command palette (search, theme, density, reels, source/channel)
- Scroll-progress bar + back-to-top FAB
- Grid density toggle (comfortable/compact)
- Reels HUD: serif title, brass scrubber, muted-state pulse
All new motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; no JS/HTML structure
changes to the core grid/feed. New glue lives in frontend/js/enhance.js.
