Owner saw "Abspielen" on the Play button — caused by every user having
Configuration.UICulture absent, so the web SPA falls back to browser
Accept-Language. No server-side flag exists to override this.
Adds docs/15-force-english.md with the per-user forcing mechanism,
limits (pre-auth splash bundle still uses navigator.language), and a
ready-to-execute bash script bin/force-english-all-users.sh that pins
UICulture=en-US on every user via POST /Users/{id}/Configuration.
Plan-only commit — no live config changed. Owner triggers when ready.

Live render audited at https://arrflix.s8n.ru. Owner believed NeutralFin
was applied; live /Branding/Configuration shows Cineplex v1.0.6 — a
sibling POST won the race per §3b operational rule. Audit covers visual
contract, drift table for every CustomCss + critical-path index.html
rule, NeutralFin variable conflicts, logo aspect ratio (235x85, fits),
ranked fix list. No state mutated; recommendation pending owner sign-off.
Migrated active CSS theme from Cineplex v1.0.6 to ElegantFin v25.12.31
with Netflix-red #E50914 accent overrides over ElegantFin's default
Jellyseerr-blue/violet palette. ARRFLIX wordmark logo preserved on both
.adminDrawerLogo img and .pageTitleWithLogo selectors (split-rule form).
Eight accent variables overridden at :root: --uiAccentColor, --activeColor
(+Alpha), --osdSeekBarPlayedColor, --checkboxCheckedBgColor,
--highlightOutlineColor, --btnSubmitColor, --btnSubmitBorderColor.
All prior custom blocks preserved verbatim: cast/crew hide, Quick Connect
hide, header-icon hide (§3c), white slider thumbs (§3d), pure-black bg
(§3d), Settings drawer hide, count badge hide, ARRFLIX logo override.
LoginDisclaimer + SplashscreenEnabled untouched.
POST → 204; GET /Branding/Configuration confirms no Cineplex import,
ElegantFin pinned to v25.12.31, all overrides intact. Smoke test on
https://arrflix.s8n.ru/ → HTTP 302 (baseline). No container restart.
Restructured §1: Cineplex content moved to §1 'Previous themes'
subsection (#### Why Cineplex won, #### Tradeoffs, #### What it looked
like, #### Theme history) with the new ElegantFin+recolor stack as
the canonical current theme.

CSS selectors in CustomCss (a[href*=mypreferencesmenu], :has(...) wrappers)
weren't reliably hiding the entry — bundle renders it via MUI ListItemButton
+ React Router NavLink and the rendered DOM didn't match the wrapper rules.
Add nukeSettings() to the runtime shim: queries any
a[href*=mypreferencesmenu] / [to*=mypreferencesmenu], walks up to closest
li/.MuiListItem-root/[role=menuitem] and sets display:none. Wired into
start(), a new MutationObserver on document.body, and the existing 1s
setInterval. CustomCss rules left in place as belt-and-braces.
Doc: extend 10-spa-runtime-shim.md with the diagnosis, the bind-mount inode
gotcha (single-file binds + os.replace orphans the container's view), and
the nsenter-based recovery path.
Two cosmetic CSS tweaks appended to CustomCss via standard
GET-edit-POST flow (HTTP 204, all prior blocks preserved).
Thumbs: scope to .MuiSlider-thumb / .osdPositionSlider / .osdVolumeSlider
(plus legacy emby-slider .sliderThumb) -> #fff. Avoids touching
--mui-palette-primary-main so buttons/focus rings stay untinted.
Background: force --primary-background-color + --background-color and
html/body/.skinHeader/.mainAnimatedPages/#reactRoot/.dashboardDocument
to #000 so OLED + Netflix-style artwork fades read clean.
Last branding POST in this sequence.
Three top-right header icons hidden via CSS appended to existing CustomCss:
.headerSyncButton, .headerCastButton, .headerUserButton. Search button
.headerSearchButton intentionally untouched so its event handler still
fires. Selectors confirmed by grepping live JF 10.10.3 web bundle.
Branding POST returned 204; verified via GET that Cineplex @import,
cast/crew hide, ARRFLIX logo override, Quick Connect hide, Settings
drawer hide, LoginDisclaimer, and SplashscreenEnabled all preserved.

Branding endpoint accepts full-object POSTs only — no field-level merge,
no ETag locking. Concurrent agents writing to /System/Configuration/branding
race; last writer wins. Lock-in: branding-CSS POST must be the final POST
in any sequence touching that endpoint.
The static <title>ARRFLIX</title> patch wasn't enough - Jellyfin's bundle
calls document.title=... on hydrate and per-route, so the tab kept showing
'Jellyfin'. Add a self-contained inline IIFE in <head> that:
- Replaces 'Jellyfin' with 'ARRFLIX' on the title (incl. ' - Jellyfin' suffix)
- Pins favicon hrefs to the existing data: URL already in the page
- Watches <head> via MutationObserver for SPA churn
- Has a 1s setInterval safety net for late-binding navigations
- One-shot unregisters the Jellyfin service worker so old clients reload fresh
bin/inject-shim.py is the source of truth - idempotent (replaces marker block).
docs/10-spa-runtime-shim.md covers root cause, deploy flow, SW eviction, and
how to extend the shim on Jellyfin upgrade.
- EnableUserPreferenceAccess=false on guest + 5 (hides Display, Home,
Playback, Subtitles pref pages — owner controls UX centrally).
- Wrapper bin/add-jellyfin-user.sh updated to bake this into all future
non-admin user creations.
- ROADMAP entries (added by sibling import agents):
- Imported: The Incredible Hulk (2008), TMDB 1724, 4 images
- Imported: Idiocracy (2006), TMDB 7512 (NOT 1542 = Office Space)
- Imported: American Dad! (2005) S01-S04, 58 eps, TMDB 1433
- WAN exposure docs added (doc 09, 256 lines): Gandi A record live,
no-guest middleware dropped, lockout=5 baked in. Owner still must
port-forward 80/443 on home router for actual public access.
Architecture A trimmed to: movies, tv, anime, musicvideos. Removed
mkdir/compose-mount/library-creation curl for home + music. Sections 6
(Music) and the Home-videos category remain in this doc as reference for
re-introduction later.
- 05-file-structure-rules: 1165-line authoritative ruleset covering 11 media
categories (movies, tv, anime, stand-up, concerts, docs, home video, extras,
subs, artwork, NFO). Architecture A flat layout chosen at
/home/user/media/{movies,tv,anime,musicvideos,music,home}. Top 3 gotchas
surfaced: no-per-item-folder breaks extras/NFO; year must be in parens;
anime absolute numbering past 99 needs Shoko or split-by-TVDB-season.
- 06-per-library-themes: 319-line research memo. Verdict: partially feasible.
No native per-library theming; CustomCss is global, Jellyfin web sets no
body class for libraryId/collectionType. Recommended approach: JS Injector
plugin (n00bcodr fork, MIT, last release 2025-12-08) + ~30-line shim that
mirrors topParentId/collectionType from URL hash to body class, plus three
scoped CSS blocks (body.lib-movies, body.lib-anime, body.lib-music).
Reaches 'tinted, branded, recognisable' — not pixel-perfect. Pixel-perfect
fidelity needs subdomain split (3 instances) at ~100x maintenance.
