v2.0.1 — Per-Podcast RSS Feeds

What's New

• Per-podcast RSS feeds — each podcast now has its own feed at /podcasts/:podcastId/feed, scoped to that podcast's episodes only
• RSS autodiscovery — podcast pages include a <link rel="alternate"> tag so RSS readers detect the feed automatically
• Updated About page — documents the new per-podcast feed pattern

Fixes

• RSS <source> element now correctly references the current feed URL instead of always pointing to the global /feed
• Extracted shared summary-fetching helper to reduce code duplication

v2.0.0 — Admin-First Pivot

Summary

TLDL shifts from a user-submitted podcast summary tool to an admin-curated podcast archive. The site is a public read-only archive with an RSS feed. Only admins can submit episodes and manage podcasts. Visitors can request new podcasts via a contact form.

What changed

Architecture

• All admin functionality moved to /admin/* (from /profile/*), protected by Cloudflare Access
• Removed public submit, waitlist, and job status pages
• Removed auth-conditional UI from public pages (no login button, no auth scripts)
• Removed per-user episode tracking (listEpisodesByUser, rate limiting)
• Added fail-closed admin auth (requireAdmin) with malformed JWT rejection

Admin Dashboard

• New admin dashboard at /admin with stats row (episodes, podcasts, errors, last check), quick actions, and recent activity feed
• Activity log system (activity:log KV key) tracks episode completions, failures, and monitoring events
• Podcast monitoring page improved with status summary bar, relative timestamps, and Apple Podcasts links

Reliability

• Discord webhook notifications on job failures and monitoring errors (src/lib/discord.ts)
• Stale job timeout detection — jobs stuck >20 minutes are auto-marked as failed, logged, and sent to Discord
• Timeout sweep runs on every home page render and in the cron handler
• All debug routes disabled in production (were partially exposed before)
• Unauthenticated DELETE /api/job/:id moved behind admin auth

Request a Podcast

• New /request page with Turnstile-protected form
• Sends email via Postmark to admin when visitors request a podcast
• Links added to home page hero, footer, and about page

Testing

• 305 tests across 15 files (up from 284)
• New test/admin.test.ts with 51 tests covering all admin routes
• New test/discord.test.ts with 5 tests
• Expanded integration tests: full CRUD lifecycle, access control verification, request form

Breaking changes

• /submit, /waitlist, /profile/*, /job/* routes removed (return 404)
• DELETE /api/job/:id removed from public API (moved to /admin/jobs/:id)
• Cloudflare Access must protect both /admin and /admin/* paths

v1.1.4

What's Changed

Model Upgrades

• Transcription: Switched from whisper-1 to gpt-4o-mini-transcribe
  • Added MIME-to-extension mapping so M4A/AAC podcasts are correctly identified (fixes "corrupted or unsupported" errors)
  • Content type from the audio source is now threaded through to the API call instead of hardcoding audio/mpeg
• Summarization: Bumped from GPT 5.2 to GPT 5.4

Other

• Gate debug routes behind ENVIRONMENT check in production

v1.1.3

Groq Whisper Transcription Support

Add Groq as an alternative transcription provider, reducing transcription costs by ~9x compared to OpenAI Whisper.

New Features

• Multi-provider transcription: Switch between OpenAI (whisper-1) and Groq (whisper-large-v3-turbo) via the TRANSCRIPTION_PROVIDER env var
• Groq free tier: No credit card required, rate-limited but usable for testing and low-volume usage
• Easy switching: Single env var change to swap providers — no code changes needed

Bug Fixes

• Fix HTML entity decoding in Apple page titles: Titles containing &, ", etc. are now properly decoded before episode matching, fixing failures for episodes with & in their titles

Details

• Groq pricing: $0.04/hr (vs OpenAI $0.36/hr)
• Both providers use the same OpenAI-compatible API shape
• Legacy API maintained for backwards compatibility
• 9 new tests for provider switching (269 total tests)
• Setup guide: docs/groq-transcription-setup.md

v1.1.2

What's Changed

• RSS Feed Fixes:
  • Restored podcast name and episode duration at the top of each item
  • Markdown summaries are now converted to HTML for proper rendering in RSS readers

v1.1.1

What's Changed

• RSS Feed Enhancement: The RSS feed (/feed) now includes the full AI-generated summary for each episode in the <description> field, making it easier to read summaries directly in RSS readers without visiting the website.
