May 2026: Delivered a critical reliability fix in fishjam-cloud/web-client-sdk by resolving a race condition around track ID availability during AddTrack. Implemented an in-flight addTrack promise mechanism and updated core track operations to await the resolved ID, preventing silent operation failures in mute, replace, and related actions. Refined tracking flow by making getCurrentTrackId async and introducing connectionPromiseRef to hold the active addTrack job, and updated callers (replaceTrack, refreshStreamedTrack, toggleMute, toggleDevice) to synchronize with the new async signature. Ensured pauseStreaming awaits during device toggling. This shift reduces user-facing errors and increases the robustness of track management, improving reliability of streaming operations and downstream business logic.

April 2026 monthly summary for fishjam-cloud/web-client-sdk: Delivered stability-focused Voice Activity Detection improvements, including a refactor of useVAD to derive speaking state directly from live microphone tracks and auto-pruning of vanished tracks to remove stale caches when peers reconnect. These changes improved VAD accuracy and reduced stale UI indicators across multi-peer sessions, enhancing user experience during peer interactions. The work reduces cache-related edge cases, tightening the real-time feedback loop for voice activity in the client and improving perceived reliability during reconnections.
