# This file contains project tasks for ai
# # at the line beginning means no task no command just a note
# * at the line beginning means repeatable task every build run
# - at the line beginning means task to be done once, task can be multiline

* collect reports from reports folder and clean up code where it is non-invasive,
  and also check build can complete after update
* update dependencies from report in reports folder, on every updated library check
  that builds run and or ommit/revert update if impossible

- github action produce only one file, exe for windows, read only gh allowed in this step.

- iso should be also included in release on github (limit is 2 GB of iso i hear)

- when control center is shown and then user is going to a dock bottom bar, dock bottom bar
  is below control center, focus jvm issue.

- bottom bar is show in center of desktop, this should never happen.
  your fixes little bit improve stability but this shows thats not enough.

- memory widget have time to time unstable color, diferrent on another in some cases.

- stabilize mouse focuses and events, this is probably done

- handles that are on sliding windows 12dp please, there is 9dp i think yet.

- in log, when building, there is a lot of warnings and errors, i want to have
  clean log  if possible.

- control center, when shown should hide menu and bottom bar if it is visible.

# --- from code review 2026-06-16 (background/palette/memory task) ---
- RESOURCE MINIMIZATION (top priority): minimize computer resources of the desktop, any way.
  main hog = GIF playback: custom GifDecoder decodes ALL frames upfront into ImageBitmaps and
  ImageBitmapExt.writePixels writes them pixel-by-pixel via Canvas.drawRect (O(w*h) draw calls per
  frame) + every frame kept in RAM. ideas to evaluate:
  (a) render gifs via coil3 animated decoder (coil now HAS a gif decoder and already decodes gifs
      for the palette) - only if visual behavior stays exactly as now;
  (b) on-disk gif cache: pre-extract a gif into per-frame image files on disk (disk is cheap) and
      stream frames from disk instead of holding all frames in RAM.
  open to other ideas. measure CPU/RAM before+after.
- palette samples ONE frame of an animated gif at switch time (a white flash frame -> washed-out
  palette). sample a representative frame or average several. (review #3, try next)
- palette iconsTintColor currently resolves equal to textColor; they SHOULD differ (accent vs
  text). this is a todo hack. (review #4)
- MimeTypeExt.Path.isVideo returns absolutePath.isGif (copy-paste); should be .isVideo. (review #6)
- BackgroundImage rotation relies on LaunchedEffect(imagesSize) keyed on a non-observable
  images.size and works only via the chained LaunchedEffect(currentBackground). make it robust
  WITHOUT changing the current behavior (beware the desktopBackgrounds stateList landmine). (review #7)
- ImageAny ignores colorFilter on the gif/video/async paths, so BackgroundImage's
  ContrastColorFilter(1.5f) is dead there; apply it or drop the param. (review #9)

todo later:
- remote desktop or a connection aka VNC (any standardized protocol) to desktop by ip address, aka X11
