   Fri Apr 24, 2026 · ~1:20 AM MDT

   Admin live-status no longer auto-queries on load

   • Opening the Live Status tab no longer fires a request to /api/tiktok-live.
   • New idle pill state Not checked (.ls-pill.is-idle) shown until Refresh or auto-poll is toggled.
   • Page load logs ready instead of firing a check.
   • Public site behavior intentionally unchanged — homepage still checks on load and every 60s.
5. v2026.4.24.17 Impact

   Fri Apr 24, 2026 · ~1:00 AM MDT

   Hero end-of-roll field + whitespace preservation

   • Added a second hero copy field for the text shown after the rolling country name (default Everywhere).
   • Admin now edge-trims with ^\s+|\s+$ instead of .trim() so internal double-spacing is preserved.
   • Worker's cleanCopyStr() preserves internal spaces.
   • Homepage has a new preserveSpaces() helper that converts runs of 2+ spaces into non-breaking space runs so double-spacing survives HTML rendering.
6. v2026.4.24.16 Impact

   Fri Apr 24, 2026 · ~12:30 AM MDT

   Hint visibility fix

   • Fixed a bug where inline display:block was overriding the hidden attribute on the banner-mode gating hint so it appeared when it shouldn't have.
7. v2026.4.24.15 Impact

   Fri Apr 24, 2026 · ~12:15 AM MDT

   Show-title checkbox on live banner

   • Added Show current live title as a second line checkbox to the banner config.
   • Only enabled when banner mode is set to Auto; dimmed with a hint when mode is On.
   • Banner now wraps both lines in a flex column (.tiktok-live-stack) with a smaller, ellipsized title span (#tiktok-live-title) hidden by default.
   • Homepage's showLive() renders the title only when enabled and the API reports a real title (no override).
8. v2026.4.24.14 Impact

   Thu Apr 23, 2026 · ~11:30 PM MDT

   Live Stream sidebar group in admin

   • Split the old Live Status tab into two tabs under a new sidebar group called Live Stream: Live status and Live banner.
   • Banner-copy editor now has its own tab; status pill, room ID, handle, start/fetch timestamps, and raw/poll logs stay on the status tab.
   • Cleaned up duplicate DOM IDs left over from the split.
