A transport with only a LiveKit SFU `url` has to be authenticated through
our own homeserver, which needs to know the name of the server owning the
SFU. Carry that name alongside the transport as a TransportLocator,
derived from the member's user ID for remote transports and from the
client's domain for our own, and key the connection map on the SFU URL,
the service URL and the server name together so that `url`, service URL
and combined transport shapes are deduplicated consistently.
UnstableLivekitTransport covers every shape a homeserver may advertise
while MSC4195 evolves: a LiveKit SFU `url`, a `livekit_service_url`, or
both. Switching to it means a service URL is no longer guaranteed, so the
remaining code that relies on one checks for it explicitly: delegation
probing skips transports without one, the connection map keys transports
by whichever URL they carry, and the OpenID flow rejects transports
without a service URL until the client-server API flow lands.
getLocalTransport no longer authenticates with the SFU up front and hands
the resulting config to the connection. Instead the ConnectionManager tags
the connection whose transport equals the local one as the publisher, and
every Connection fetches its own SFU config for its role.
The local member now only joins the MatrixRTC session once its connection
is authenticated, so that the LiveKit room exists before remote members
try to get a subscriber token for it. Subscribers authenticating with the
OpenID flow lack permission to create the room and would otherwise fail
without retrying, causing a cascade of leaves and rejoins at the start of
a call.
The OpenID flow moves to src/livekit/auth/openID.ts with the SFU config
types in a sibling file, takes an options object, and replaces the
MatrixRTC mode with the role we take on the transport plus the session's
slot ID instead of a hard-coded m.call#ROOM.
This changes behaviour: publishers on a livekit_service_url transport
always use the legacy /sfu/get endpoint, so that subscribers can predict
their user:device participant identity, and subscribers always use the
default /get_token endpoint. The MatrixRTC mode no longer influences which
endpoint is used.
A transport may soon carry a LiveKit SFU `url` instead of, or as well as,
a `livekit_service_url`, so a service URL alone no longer identifies it.
Pass the whole transport to the tiles' debug stats and print it as JSON in
log lines instead of picking out the service URL.
A member authenticated through the legacy JWT endpoint publishes under a
`user:device` identity, while one authenticated through the default
endpoint publishes under a hashed identity. Both are listed in the
membership's backend identities, so match against the whole list rather
than only the primary one.
* Give the microphone level its own observable
* Add a microphone level meter
* Show speakers and microphones in the quick audio menu
* Wire speaker selection through the call footer
* Add stories for the meter and the device menu
* Add end-to-end specs for the quick audio menu
* Keep the footer while a menu opened from it is open
* Use the shared audio capture stub in the lobby test

MuteStates, CallViewModel and LocalMember reached the host through the
widget global. None of them are React components, so they take the bridge
as an explicit parameter: a constructor argument for MuteStates, a field
on CallViewModelOptions, and one on createLocalMembership$'s props.
src/state no longer refers to the widget API.
The conditionals around it mostly disappear: nullHostBridge's observables
are NEVER, so there is nothing to guard, and a request carries its own
reply rather than needing the transport and the original event.
CallViewModelWidget.test.ts drove hangup by emitting on the mocked
widget's action emitter, so it now injects a bridge instead, and checks
that the request is acknowledged.
This is the mode in which we sent membership events with the 'oldest membership' transport selection algorithm, which stopped being the default back in version 0.21.0. Users will no longer be able to select this mode in developer settings, and admins will no longer be able to select legacy mode through the config either. The app will still continue to support *receiving* membership events with the 'oldest membership' transport selection algorithm from others, however.
Timo and I agreed previously that we should ditch the class pattern for view models and instead have them be interfaces which are simply created by functions. They're more straightforward to write, mock, and instantiate this way.
The code for media view models and media items is pretty much the last remaining instance of the class pattern. Since I was about to introduce a new media view model for ringing, I wanted to get this refactor out of the way first rather than add to the technical debt.
This refactor also makes things a little easier for https://github.com/element-hq/element-call/pull/3747 by extracting volume controls into their own module.

The local jwt token needs to be aquired via the right endpoint. The
endpoint defines how our rtcBackendIdentity is computed. Based on us
using sticky events or state events we also need to use the right
endpoint. This cannot be done generically in the connection manager. The
jwt token now is computed in the localTransport and the resolved sfu
config is passed to the connection manager.
Add JWT endpoint version and SFU config support Pin matrix-js-sdk to a
specific commit and update dev auth image tag. Propagate SFU config and
JWT endpoint choice through local transport, ConnectionManager and
Connection; add JwtEndpointVersion enum and LocalTransportWithSFUConfig
type. Add NO_MATRIX_2 auth error and locale string, thread
rtcBackendIdentity through UI props, and include related test, CSS and
minor imports updates
On second glance, the way that we determined a media tile to be 'waiting for media' was too implicit for my taste. It would appear on a surface reading to depend on whether a participant was currently publishing any video. But in reality, the 'video' object was always defined as long as a LiveKit participant existed, so in reality it depended on just the participant. We should show this relationship more explicitly by moving the computation into the view model, where it can depend on the participant directly.
