FreeTube + Tabs v0.24.2

Architecture

• Unified tab operations — consolidated scattered tab transition handlers into a single composable with serialized execution, preventing race conditions
• IPC hardening — renderer→main IPC calls now strip Vue reactive Proxies at the boundary, validate all incoming data, and support timeout and abort signals. Added Content Security Policy with correct connect-src for production
• Deduplicated view logic — extracted shared route guard, backend fetch fallback, and watcher patterns; net reduction of ~230 lines across Channel, Watch, and player components

Bug Fixes

• Fix back/forward navigation within same tab — pressing back/forward after navigating between videos did nothing; the tab executor was silently suppressing route change reactions during intra-tab history navigation
• Fix tab drag crash — dragging tabs could throw; now shows media playing state in tab icon
• Fix Vue lifecycle errors during tab close — deferred tab removal until navigation settles, preventing null-instance errors
• Fix Shaka player DOM and listener leaks — player elements and event listeners were accumulating over time
• Fix progress bar lingering on abort — subscription feeds now clean up the progress bar when fetch is aborted
• Fix IPC serialization errors — Vue reactive objects sent over IPC caused DataCloneError in multiple code paths; fixed at the IPC boundary layer
• Fix will-navigate handler timing — deferred handler until after initial page load to prevent interference with Electron's loadURL()
• Fix refresh button disappearance — resolved layout regression; matched nav button sizing consistently
• Fix arrow button state — back/forward arrows now reactively derive enabled/disabled from the tab's history index
• Fix refresh widget timestamp — "Last updated" timestamps now update continuously
• Fix tab bar layout gaps — removed hover gap at start of tab bar and closed visual gap between sidebar and tab bar
• Fix subscription cache timestamps — date comparison now handles JSON-serialized values correctly
• Fix PO token generation — relaxed validation to accept channel IDs and removed overly strict context type check

CI/CD

• Nix build workflow — added GitHub Actions workflow to verify the NixOS flake builds on every push and PR

Docs

• Rewritten CONTRIBUTING.md — updated for fork identity and workflow
