- Live updates start on plain requests and move up to a websocket when
one gets through. The site used to ask for the websocket first, with
no way back: behind a proxy that does not pass the upgrade, nothing
live arrived at all.
- A browser asks the API's leave before a request, the site and the API
being on different hosts. It now remembers the answer for two hours,
where it used to ask before nearly every request.
- A built file is kept by the browser for good: its name changes when
its contents do. Each used to be checked again on every page load.
- For a real websocket through nginx, the blocks that pass requests to
the API need "proxy_http_version 1.1", "proxy_set_header Upgrade
$http_upgrade" and "proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"".

- An action in an encounter no longer loads the encounter again: the
answer to the action already holds it. Live updates that arrive
together are answered with one reload, of the encounter or character
that changed, where each used to reload every one on screen.
- Everything the site sends is compressed. Nothing in front of it did
that (frp only tunnels), so the API and the built site now do it
themselves: the main script is 100 kB on the wire, down from 330 kB.
- Each page is its own download, fetched the first time it is opened,
so signing in does not wait on the encounter tracker or the builder.
- The library is fetched when one of its pickers is opened, where the
campaign page used to fetch it on every visit by the DM.
- The database has indexes on the columns every list is looked up by,
and checking that someone is in a campaign takes one query, not two.
- On a server: "npm install", then "npm run deploy", then build the
frontend again and restart both.

- Campaigns: DM can archive/restore; owner can delete. Archived campaigns
move off the main list and stop accepting invite codes.
- Encounters: DM can archive/restore and delete, and arrange the campaign's
own order; the list can also be sorted by name, status, type or date.
Archived encounters are hidden from players' lists.
- Account page with change password (POST /auth/password).
- Seed is now additive (safe on a live database; --reset for the old wipe)
and builds a fuller Aldenfell: earned weapons, item pool, spells, NPCs,
and 28 battle/quest scenes with descriptions, DM notes and rewards.
- Vite preview host config for the deployed site.
