Accept the current /sender/hls route in the Sender HLS plug while preserving the legacy plugin-slug path. Add direct plug coverage for both path shapes.
Use Tribes.RequestInfo for HLS and player event attribution so trusted proxy traffic is served without feeding Sender's internal viewer metric.
Append a stable vsid query parameter to browser HLS playlist URLs, count playlist reloads as viewer sessions in standalone mode, keep IP fallback for plain HLS clients, and update docs plus e2e coverage.
Track active Sender viewers from browser heartbeats and HLS IP fallback, filtering localhost access and exporting a low-cardinality plugin metric for Tribes rollups.
Extend the Docker origin/edge E2E harness with VictoriaMetrics/vmagent scraping and assertions for live /metrics export plus compact rollup storage. Update docs for the host metrics path.
Expose standalone /sender/hls file serving for local spool playback and add the hls_edge media-session mode for tribes_edge endpoints.\n\nThe edge backend mirrors an upstream generation playlist and referenced segments into the local spool, while management lifecycle methods can start, stop, and report hls_edge sessions separately from origin ingest.\n\nVerified with scripts/plugin test, scripts/plugin validate, scripts/plugin precommit, and scripts/plugin smoke.
Collapse endpoint routing around endpoint types and source links, remove the StreamRoute resource and HLS fallback plug, and move generated HLS paths to /sender/hls for Vinyl-backed serving.\n\nUpdate the initial schema, management payloads, docs, and tests to match generation-level renditions and stream generation delivery modes.
Wrap the sender LiveView with the plugin-facing Tribes layout and mount optional host auth so the player appears inside the normal Tribes navigation chrome. Declare ui@1 because the host chrome is provided through the UI capability and assert that chrome in the page test.
Expose plugin API routes for playback metadata, HLS file serving, and player events. Add a typed Video.js v10 HTML player bootstrap and host-backed API tests.
Enable the plugin supervision tree, update manifest metadata, switch the planned web player to Video.js v10 beta, and document the streaming architecture/progress plan.
