 # Changelog

+## 2025-12-04 - 7.3.0 - feat(serviceworker)
+Modernize SW dashboard UI and improve service worker backend and server tooling
+
+- Revamped sw-dash UI: new header/logo, uptime badge, live auto-refresh indicator, reorganized panels and improved speedtest UI and controls
+- Shared styles overhaul: new theming variables, spacing scale, badges, refined progress/pulse animations and cleaner typography
+- Dashboard internals: metrics endpoint and SPA shell updated; Lit bundle loading and table sort icon changed to ↑/↓
+- Service worker: added request deduplication (in-flight request coalescing), safer caching logic, consistent CORS/caching headers, and cache revalidation
+- Metrics: richer MetricsCollector with per-resource tracking, domain/content-type stats, speedtest metrics and better summary/stat helpers
+- Update & network managers: rate-limited update checks, debounced update/revalidation tasks, online/offline checks and improved retry/backoff logic
+- TypedServer & tooling: addRoute API for custom routes, improved HTML reload script injection, TypedSocket integration and a backend speedtest handler
+- servertools: improved static/proxy handlers (more robust path extraction, compression handling) and deprecation notice for addTypedSocket()
+
+## 2025-12-04 - 7.2.0 - feat(serviceworker)
+Add service worker status updates, EventBus and UI status pill for realtime observability
+
+- Introduce a status update protocol for service worker <-> clients (IStatusUpdate, IMessage_Serviceworker_StatusUpdate, IRequest_Serviceworker_GetStatus).
+- Add typedserver-statuspill Lit component to display backend/serviceworker/network status in the UI, with expand/collapse details and persistent/error states.
+- Wire ReloadChecker to use the new status pill: show network/backend/serviceworker status, handle online/offline events, and subscribe to service worker status broadcasts.
+- Extend ActionManager (client) with subscribeToStatusUpdates and getServiceWorkerStatus helpers; forward serviceworker_statusUpdate broadcasts to registered callbacks.
+- Serviceworker backend: add serviceworker_getStatus handler and broadcastStatusUpdate API; subscribe to EventBus lifecycle/network/update events to broadcast status changes to clients.
+- Add EventBus for decoupled service worker internal events (ServiceWorkerEvent enum, pub/sub API, history and convenience emitters).
+- Ensure proper subscribe/unsubscribe lifecycle (ReloadChecker stops SW subscription on stop).
+- Improve cache/connection status reporting integration so status updates include details like cacheHitRate, resourceCount and connected clients.
+
+## 2025-12-04 - 7.1.0 - feat(swdash)
+Add live speedtest progress UI to service worker dashboard
+
+- Introduce reactive speedtest state (phase, progress, elapsed) in sw-dash-overview component
+- Start a progress interval to animate overall test progress and estimate phases (latency, download, upload)
+- Dispatch 'speedtest-complete' event and show a brief complete state before resetting UI
+- Add helper methods for phase labels and elapsed time formatting
+- Add CSS for progress bar, shimmer animation and phase pulse to sw-dash-styles
+
+## 2025-12-04 - 7.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(serviceworker)
+Move serviceworker speedtest to time-based chunked transfers and update dashboard/server contract
+
+- Change speedtest protocol to time-based chunk transfers: new request types 'download_chunk' and 'upload_chunk' plus 'latency'. Clients should call chunk requests in a loop for the desired test duration.
+- IRequest_Serviceworker_Speedtest interface updated: request fields renamed/changed (chunkSizeKB, payload) and response no longer includes durationMs or speedMbps — server now returns bytesTransferred, timestamp, and optional payload.
+- TypedServer speedtest handler updated to support 'download_chunk' and 'upload_chunk' semantics and to return bytesTransferred/timestamp/payload only (removed server-side duration/speed calculation).
+- Dashboard runSpeedtest now performs time-based tests (TEST_DURATION_MS = 5000, CHUNK_SIZE_KB = 64) by repeatedly requesting chunks and computing throughput on the client side.
+- Documentation/comments updated to clarify new speedtest behavior and default chunk sizes.
+
 ## 2025-12-04 - 6.8.1 - fix(web_serviceworker)
 Move service worker initialization to init.ts and remove exports from service worker entrypoint to avoid ESM bundle output
