CRITICAL FIX: Manual swipes now properly resume rotation instead of keeping it paused.
The issue:
- User interacts with page A → rotation pauses
- User swipes to page B → rotation should resume, but was staying paused
- This was because manualNavigationMode stayed true
The fix:
- nextTab() and prevTab() now set manualNavigationMode=false AFTER markActivity
- This overrides the manualNavigationMode=true set by markActivity
- Manual swipes are navigation, not content interaction
- Rotation will now resume on the new page (if it has duration > 0)
Complete flow now:
1. User touches page → manualNavigationMode=true → rotation pauses
2. After 2min idle → prompt appears with options:
- "Return to Rotation" → manualNavigationMode=false → rotation resumes
- "I'm still here" → manualNavigationMode stays true → rotation stays paused
- Time extension → rotation paused during extension, prompt reappears when expires
- No response (15sec) → auto-returns to rotation
3. User swipes to new page → manualNavigationMode=false → rotation resumes
Technical changes:
- Lines 4054-4072: Reordered nextTab() to set manualNavigationMode=false AFTER markActivity
- Lines 4074-4092: Reordered prevTab() to set manualNavigationMode=false AFTER markActivity
- Time extensions still cleared on manual swipe (correct behavior)
This release fixes critical issues with rotation behavior and user interaction:
ROTATION LOGIC FIXES:
- Rotation now properly pauses when user interacts with any URL
- Added manualNavigationMode check to rotation logic
- User interaction (touch, scroll, type) sets manualNavigationMode=true
- "Return to Rotation" button resets manualNavigationMode=false
- Prevents unwanted auto-rotation when user is actively using content
USER INTERACTION IMPROVEMENTS:
- markActivity() now sets manualNavigationMode=true for actual user interaction
- Differentiates between content interaction and prompt responses
- Time extensions continue to be honored during user interaction
- Inactivity prompt closes when user interacts with content
EDGE CASE HANDLING:
- Fixed return to rotation when home URL exists but all URLs have 0 time
- Return to home URL still works even with no rotation configured
- Inactivity prompt properly fires on home URL in no-rotation scenario
PASSWORD/LOCKOUT PRECEDENCE:
- Verified password prompt blocks all interaction on boot
- Lockout properly blocks rotation and prompts
- System resume, screen lock trigger password protection correctly
Technical changes:
- Line 3913: Added !manualNavigationMode check to rotation condition
- Lines 3647-3651: Set manualNavigationMode on user content interaction
- Line 4086-4090: Enhanced returnToHome() documentation for no-rotation case
- Updated VERSION constants and release notes
All existing functionality preserved including:
- Time extensions honored
- Manual tab switching clears extensions
- Prompt only appears on interacted sites
- Password takes precedence on boot/resume/lockout
