v1.0.77

Changed

• OBS Overlay moved server-side. The local HTTP overlay server (127.0.0.1, OBS Browser
  Source) is gone — the overlay now lives on your paired kitsunexus-server at a public,
  unguessable /overlay/<id> URL for your account, kept fed by a lightweight push every 5s
  instead of the app serving it directly. Settings ▸ Cloud Sync's Overlay tab shows your
  account's URL (with a copy button) once paired; style/box-background are just query params on
  that URL now. Requires pairing to a server — there's no local-only overlay anymore.
• Community Rank leaderboard is now server-side. The old leaderboard could only ever show
  your own single row, since each install has its own isolated local database — it's not a
  leaderboard without a server to aggregate across users. Ranks now push to your paired
  kitsunexus-server on every "Refresh my rank", and the in-app leaderboard reads the real
  cross-user list from there (falls back to the old local-only list if unpaired).
• Settings ▸ Cloud Sync's server URL field now defaults to the official KitsuNexus server —
  clear it and enter your own URL if you're self-hosting.

Fixed

• Now Playing / Spotify detection failing entirely. Root cause was two stacked bugs in the
  Windows media-session PowerShell query: reading a WinRT thumbnail stream's .Size through
  PowerShell's late-bound COM interop is unreliable and highly variable in timing, and calling
  .Dispose() on the raw stream/reader COM objects threw on every single poll (silently caught,
  but still cost seconds each time). Removed native thumbnail extraction entirely — album art
  now comes solely from the existing Deezer/iTunes lookup, which was already reliable — and
  raised the detection timeout to actually cover the real, measured latency of a WinRT session
  query (previously tight enough to kill an otherwise-working query in progress).
• Now Playing progress bar/timestamp feeling laggy/stale. They only updated once per (slow,
  PowerShell-based) poll. Now ticked locally every second from the last poll's cached data using
  simple time-math — no extra PowerShell calls, no extra load, just a smooth-feeling clock/bar
  between polls.
• Local Favorites "Open" not showing details for avatars/worlds/groups/friends. The Favorites
  page's "Open" button used the Local Favorite's own database row id instead of the actual
  VRChat id, so it looked up the wrong thing every time for anything saved locally (official
  favorites, whose row id already is the VRChat id, weren't affected).
• "✗ JSON failed to parse" on Wear. PUT /avatars/:id/select doesn't reliably return a JSON
  body, so the VRChat SDK's response parser threw even though the avatar swap had already
  succeeded. That specific parse failure (only possible after a successful HTTP response) is now
  treated as success instead of a false error.
• [statusPush] backend rejected status push: 401 spamming forever. A stale/expired Discord
  session token made this retry every 20s indefinitely with no backoff. It now stops after one
  401, clears the dead session, and tells you to log in again instead of silently failing forever.
• Community Ranks: avatar uploads always showing 0. Only counted avatars marked public —
  but keeping your main/personal avatars private is completely normal, so this scored almost
  everyone at 0 regardless of how many they'd actually uploaded. Now counts every avatar you own.
• Community Ranks: "Years active" stuck near 0 for long-time VRChat accounts. It was purely
  a local-history proxy, so a brand-new KitsuNexus install had nothing to show no matter how long
  the account had actually played VRChat. Now blends in half-weight credit from VRChat account
  age, so long-time accounts aren't penalized on day one; real local play history still overtakes
  it naturally with continued use.
• Community Ranks: event participation had no way to ever register. Now auto-detected from
  real VRChat Group instance visits (not just any public/friends instance of a world some group
  happens to use for hangouts), deduped per world+group+day to prevent farming.
• Community Ranks: local-history stats were silently discarded on every recompute. The
  derived years-active/event stats computed during sync were being thrown away before the score
  was actually calculated, due to a stale re-fetch — fixed by passing them straight through.
