v3.9.7-beta.4 — Claude Fable 5 Large-Scale Refactor

on GitHub

What's Changed

This beta delivers a large-scale refactor of Motrix Next, carried out with Claude Fable 5. The work removes duplicated ownership across the frontend and Rust backend, consolidates shared configuration and utility boundaries, reduces dead code and test noise, dramatically improves locale loading performance, and rebuilds the project website.

🏗 Large-Scale Refactor

• Rust-owned task lifecycle — Rust is now the sole task lifecycle and global-stat poller. The frontend consumes native events for completion, errors, sharing, history, notifications, cleanup, archiving, and shutdown behavior.
• Single aria2 option source — Frontend and Rust now consume the same aria2 engine option definition, removing drift between duplicated lists.
• Unified proxy and update logic — Proxy utilities were consolidated into one module, while semantic-version rollback detection moved to the Rust updater.
• Simplified shared utilities — Task identity, preference reads, locale state, and configuration helpers were consolidated around clearer ownership boundaries.
• Dead code removal — Unused dependencies, wrappers, guards, configuration surfaces, tests, and legacy assets were removed.

⚡ Performance and Quality

• 85% smaller main bundle — Locale messages now load on demand, reducing the main bundle from 2.34 MB to 359 KB.
• Focused verification — Cross-stack repository checks moved out of Vitest into a dedicated integrity command and CI step.
• Lean Rust fixtures — aria2 response types now derive Default, removing repetitive fixture boilerplate and making tests easier to maintain.
• Net simplification — The refactor removes thousands of lines while preserving the existing product behavior.

🌌 Website Rebuild

• New product-focused design — The static website was rebuilt with a deep-space visual system, paired product screenshots, bento feature layout, live motion demonstrations, and responsive interactions.
• Lighter assets — Website assets were reorganized, icons deduplicated, and oversized watermark images removed.
• Theme polish — Light and dark themes now share a consistent atmosphere, improved contrast, and smoother screenshot interactions.
