Experimental build: Kick can now mine drops over a pure WebSocket connection — no browser, no Chrome sidecar. Opt-in; the default (Chrome/IVS) is unchanged.
🌱 Added
- Kick WebSocket watch path — accrues Kick drop watch-time with no browser/video. Live-verified (+8 watch-minutes in 10 min, zero browser). Enable under Settings → Experimental → Kick watch path → WebSocket only (reload to apply).
- WS / Chrome bubble on the dashboard KICK header showing which path is active.
⚙️ Changed
- Kick watch path is now operator-selectable (
kick_watch_mode). Chrome sidecar stays the default. The two are mutually exclusive — the server credits one active watch per account.
Notes
- Experimental: WS accrual is choppy/channel-dependent. If a channel stalls, the watcher rotates; automatic WS→Chrome fallback is not in this build.
