Summary

pkc-js preloads a single sort and only publishes pageCids once that page overflows, so a community (or comment) whose posts (or replies) all fit in the preloaded page publishes no other sort. Since 0.1.39 resolvePostSortType and resolveReplySortType only accepted published names, so requesting a standard sort such as active on a small community returned an empty feed. Clients fell back to the preloaded hot order and lost bump order (5chan v0.9.20 stopped bumping threads on every board that fits in one page).

  • A complete preloaded page (no nextCid, no pageCids) now serves every standard sort the feed sorter can compute (hot, new, active, top* for posts; best, new, old, and for a post's replies newFlat/oldFlat).
  • New getPostPageSortType / getReplyPageSortType return the page that serves a sort; the feeds, communities-pages, replies and replies-pages stores read that page and sort it client-side with the existing sorter, and nested reply feeds register through it.
  • Timeframe top* sorts computed from a preloaded page apply their time window client-side, keeping pinned posts like pkc-js pages do; a flat reply sort served from a hierarchical page is flattened.
  • Custom sort names and paged records stay strict, so a requested sort is still never silently replaced by another one.
  • README, hook JSDoc and llms-full.txt updated; tests that encoded the strict single-page behavior were rewritten to the new contract, plus new coverage for feeds, replies, nested registration, first page cids and time windows.

Verification

  • yarn type-check, yarn lint (no new warnings), yarn build (dist not committed)
  • Full unit suite: 42 files, 1251 passed, 6 pre-existing skips
  • yarn knip clean
  • Not run: Playwright e2e suites

Note

Medium Risk
Changes core feed/reply sort resolution and ordering across multiple stores; incorrect “complete page” detection could mis-sort or omit posts, though custom sorts and paginated records stay strict.

Overview
Fixes empty feeds when requesting standard sorts (e.g. active) on small communities or threads where pkc-js only preloads one page and never publishes other pageCids.

Sort resolution now treats a “complete” preloaded page (no nextCid, no pageCids, not a timeframe-only page) as holding the full set, so standard post/reply sorts become requestable and are re-sorted client-side via the existing feed sorter. Custom or unpublished sorts are still rejected—nothing is silently swapped for another sort. New helpers getPostPageSortType / getReplyPageSortType map a requested sort to the page to read (e.g. active → preloaded hot); getSortTimeframeSeconds and isFlatSortType support timeframe windows and flat reply behavior.

Store wiring: feeds and replies utils load comments from that page sort, apply client top* time windows (pinned posts kept), and flatten hierarchical pages when serving flat reply sorts. Communities/replies “first page CID” logic and nested reply feed registration follow the same page mapping.

Docs (README, llms-full.txt, useFeed JSDoc) and tests reflect the new contract.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Standard post and reply sorts can now be computed client-side when a complete page is preloaded, reducing unnecessary pagination.
    • Time-based sorts such as daily or all-time “top” feeds now apply the correct time window while preserving pinned posts.
    • Nested replies support client-side sorting, including flat and hierarchical result formats.
    • Added public helpers for identifying the page sort used for posts and replies.
  • Documentation

    • Updated API and feed/reply sorting documentation to describe client-side sorting and page-sort resolution.

pkc-js preloads a single sort and only publishes pageCids once that page overflows, so a community or comment whose posts or replies all fit in the preloaded page publishes no other sort. Since 0.1.39 resolvePostSortType and resolveReplySortType only accepted published names, which left feeds empty for standard sorts on small communities and made clients fall back to the preloaded order, losing bump order.

Treat a complete preloaded page (no nextCid, no pageCids) as serving every standard sort the feed sorter can compute, expose getPostPageSortType and getReplyPageSortType for the page that serves a sort, sort that page client-side in the feeds and replies stores, apply the time window of top timeframe sorts, and flatten flat reply sorts served from a hierarchical page. Custom sort names and paged records stay strict.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared page-sort resolution for complete preloaded pages. Feeds and replies can compute standard sorts client-side, apply top* timeframes, preserve custom-sort behavior, and use the resolved page sort for pagination and nested reply traversal.

Changes

Client-side page sorting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Page-sort resolution and public API
src/lib/page-sorts.ts, src/lib/page-sorts.test.ts, src/index.ts, README.md, llms-full.txt
Page-sort utilities now distinguish published pages from complete preloaded pages. They resolve standard, flat, and timeframe-based sorts and expose getPostPageSortType and getReplyPageSortType. Tests and documentation cover the new behavior.
Feed sort integration
src/stores/feeds/utils.ts, src/stores/feeds/utils.test.ts, src/hooks/feeds/feeds.ts, src/hooks/feeds/feeds.test.ts, src/stores/communities-pages/communities-pages-store.ts, src/stores/communities-pages/communities-pages-store.test.ts
Feeds use the page sort that serves the requested sort. Complete preloaded pages support client-side active, new, and top* sorting. Time windows exclude old non-pinned posts. Community page lookup uses the resolved page sort.
Reply sort integration
src/stores/replies/utils.ts, src/stores/replies/utils.test.ts, src/stores/replies-pages/replies-pages-store.ts, src/stores/replies/replies-store.ts, src/stores/replies/replies-store.test.ts, src/hooks/replies.test.ts
Replies use comment-specific page sorts. Flat sorts can flatten hierarchical pages. Nested replies can be traversed from complete preloaded pages when the requested sort differs from the stored page sort. Tests cover standard, custom, flat, and nested reply behavior.

P1 Badge Avoid deriving flat sorts from only a complete top-level page

When a post's hierarchical page is complete but one of its child replies has a paginated reply chain, this branch advertises newFlat and oldFlat even though the client has only the embedded portion of that chain. getFilteredSortedFeeds consequently flattens an incomplete tree, while getFeedsHaveMore treats the root's missing next-page CID as exhaustion, so users receive a truncated flat reply feed with no way to load the omitted replies. Only derive flat sorts from an already-complete flat page, or first prove and load the entire nested tree.

P2 Badge Apply timeframe filtering after freshness reconciliation

For a client-served topHour/topDay/etc. feed, this filters on the preloaded post before getFeedPost replaces it with the fresher version from communitiesPagesStore.comments. Because pinned is mutable moderation state, an old post that is pinned only in the fresher cached version is dropped, while a newly unpinned post whose preloaded version was pinned is retained beyond the window. Apply the timeframe check to the reconciled nextPost instead.
