What changed

  • add a progressive New Download preflight for HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, Magnet, ED2K, and Thunder links
  • add guarded Torrent and Metalink metadata parsing with selectable file lists and aria2 select-file submission
  • show resolved filename, MIME type, host/status, selected size, destination capacity, and conflict policy before submission
  • route native manual entry points through the same staging sheet and reject unsupported mixed drops explicitly
  • make Settings discoverable, auto-save changes, distinguish saved state from engine restart requirements, and confirm credential deletion
  • polish section selection, destructive confirmations, Inspector state, Dashboard search, and Simplified Chinese strings
  • document competitor research and the prioritized Kite capability gap matrix

Why

Kite supported many download protocols and policies, but its manual task flow committed work before users could inspect resolved metadata or container contents. Settings also mixed persistence and restart behavior, while several global actions could retain hidden selection state.

This change introduces a pre-commit staging layer, makes settings persistence explicit, and closes the highest-risk interaction inconsistencies found during the product comparison.

User impact

Users can inspect and select download inputs before creating a task, including choosing files inside Torrent/Metalink containers. Settings save automatically and clearly indicate when the engine must restart. Destructive actions and cross-section selection now behave consistently.

Notable hardening

  • cap URL preview probes at four concurrent requests and cancel superseded work
  • cancel the underlying URLSession task after response headers so ignored Range requests cannot become full downloads
  • bound container parsing by input size, depth, node count, file count, and safe relative paths
  • use checked size aggregation to avoid integer-overflow crashes
  • make rapid container imports latest-result-wins
  • return truthful failure for unsupported, mixed, or multi-container drops

Validation

  • swift test: 45 tests across 15 suites passed
  • ./script/build_and_run.sh --verify
  • ./script/build_and_run.sh --package
  • codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 dist/Kite.app
  • plutil -lint Resources/zh-Hans.lproj/Localizable.strings
  • bash -n script/build_and_run.sh
  • git diff --check
  • packaged-app GUI checks for Settings auto-save/restart state, New Download, Magnet accounting, HTTP metadata preview, URL deselection, and Metalink file selection; no real download was submitted

Remaining scope

The gap analysis keeps media rendition preview, cURL/page collection, Settings-wide validation/search, archive password/multipart workflows, browser pairing health, and notarized public distribution as follow-up work.

What changed
  • add a progressive New Download preflight for HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, Magnet, ED2K, and Thunder links
  • add guarded Torrent and Metalink metadata parsing with selectable file lists and aria2 select-file submission
  • show resolved filename, MIME type, host/status, selected size, destination capacity, and conflict policy before submission
  • route native manual entry points through the same staging sheet and reject unsupported mixed drops explicitly
  • make Settings discoverable, auto-save changes, distinguish saved state from engine restart requirements, and confirm credential deletion
  • polish section selection, destructive confirmations, Inspector state, Dashboard search, and Simplified Chinese strings
  • document competitor research and the prioritized Kite capability gap matrix
Why
Kite supported many download protocols and policies, but its manual task flow committed work before users could inspect resolved metadata or container contents. Settings also mixed persistence and restart behavior, while several global actions could retain hidden selection state.
This change introduces a pre-commit staging layer, makes settings persistence explicit, and closes the highest-risk interaction inconsistencies found during the product comparison.
User impact
Users can inspect and select download inputs before creating a task, including choosing files inside Torrent/Metalink containers. Settings save automatically and clearly indicate when the engine must restart. Destructive actions and cross-section selection now behave consistently.
Notable hardening
  • cap URL preview probes at four concurrent requests and cancel superseded work
  • cancel the underlying URLSession task after response headers so ignored Range requests cannot become full downloads
  • bound container parsing by input size, depth, node count, file count, and safe relative paths
  • use checked size aggregation to avoid integer-overflow crashes
  • make rapid container imports latest-result-wins
  • return truthful failure for unsupported, mixed, or multi-container drops
Validation
  • swift test: 45 tests across 15 suites passed
  • ./script/build_and_run.sh --verify
  • ./script/build_and_run.sh --package
  • codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 dist/Kite.app
  • plutil -lint Resources/zh-Hans.lproj/Localizable.strings
  • bash -n script/build_and_run.sh
  • git diff --check
  • packaged-app GUI checks for Settings auto-save/restart state, New Download, Magnet accounting, HTTP metadata preview, URL deselection, and Metalink file selection; no real download was submitted
Remaining scope
The gap analysis keeps media rendition preview, cURL/page collection, Settings-wide validation/search, archive password/multipart workflows, browser pairing health, and notarized public distribution as follow-up work.
