Major Changes:
- Convert all JavaScript files to Parenscript for better maintainability
- Move spectrum-analyzer to parenscript/ directory structure
- Add parenscript-utils.lisp for shared utilities
- Convert admin.js, player.js, front-page.js, auth-ui.js to Parenscript
- Convert profile.js, users.js, recently-played.js to Parenscript
Stream Reconnect Fixes (from merged PR):
- Add reset-spectrum-analyzer function to properly clean up Web Audio API
- Implement reconnect logic for pauses longer than 10 seconds
- Detect stale audio in 'playing' event and force stream reconnection
- Prevent 'Now Playing' updates while stream is paused
- Reduce reconnect delay to 200ms for faster response
- Add proper spectrum analyzer reset/reinit during reconnection
UX Improvements:
- Change live indicator from blink to smooth pulse (2s ease-in-out)
- Pulse animation like old PowerBook/MacBook sleep indicator
- Add MUTED indicator to spectrum analyzer when audio is muted
- Spectrum continues to flow even when muted (data still streaming)
- Red 'MUTED' text displayed in top-right corner of canvas
Technical Details:
- Parenscript files generate JavaScript via API endpoints
- All player modes updated: main player, front page, popout, frame player
- Improved audio context handling to only create once per element
- Added comprehensive error handling and logging
- Updated asteroid.asd to include parenscript module structure
Documentation:
- Updated all documentation dates to 2025-12-06
- Added PARENSCRIPT-EXPERIMENT.org documenting the conversion
- Updated PROJECT-HISTORY.org with Phase 9 (Visual Audio Features)
- Added comprehensive project statistics (408 commits, 9,300 LOC)
This conversion improves code maintainability by using Lisp throughout
the stack and makes it easier to share code between frontend and backend.
This fix some issues where, on the client, `response.message` was `Ok.`
for error responses and real error message needed to be extracted from
`response.data.message`, which made a weird API.
This commit implements three major refactorings to make the codebase more
idiomatic and maintainable:
1. Template Path Centralization
- Add *template-directory* parameter and helper functions
- Replace 11+ instances of repetitive template loading boilerplate
- New functions: template-path, load-template in template-utils.lisp
2. String Construction with FORMAT
- Replace concatenate with format for external URLs (Icecast, static files)
- Maintain Radiance URI handling for internal routes
- Applied to stream URLs, status endpoints, and API responses
3. Error Handling with Custom Conditions
- NEW FILE: conditions.lisp with comprehensive error hierarchy
- Custom conditions: not-found-error, authentication-error,
authorization-error, validation-error, database-error, asteroid-stream-error
- Helper macros: with-error-handling, with-db-error-handling
- Helper functions: signal-not-found, signal-validation-error, etc.
- Refactored 19 API endpoints and page routes
- Proper HTTP status codes: 404, 401, 403, 400, 500
Changes:
- conditions.lisp: NEW (180+ lines of error handling infrastructure)
- asteroid.asd: Add conditions.lisp to system components
- asteroid.lisp: Refactor 30+ endpoints, eliminate 200+ lines of boilerplate
- template-utils.lisp: Add centralized template loading helpers
- frontend-partials.lisp: Update template loading and string construction
Net result: -97 lines of code, significantly improved error handling,
more maintainable and idiomatic Common Lisp.
All changes tested and verified:
- Clean build
- All endpoints functional
- Error handling returns proper HTTP codes
- No regressions
