+# VTT thumbnail maintenance
+
+The factory remains `artplayerPluginVttThumbnail(option)`. Its registration function is
+asynchronous and resolves to `{ name: 'artplayerPluginVttThumbnail' }`. Existing public
+declarations still describe a synchronous result; task PKG-VTT-THUMB-04 owns that conflict
+and the strict TypeScript migration. Do not infer the return shape from those declarations.
+
+## Modules and ownership
+
+- `src/index.js` composes registration, captures the VTT URL before awaiting, reads style
+  afterwards, and installs the `vtt-thumbnail` control with its existing CSS class/index.
+- `src/lifetime.js` owns one registration's destroy listener, event listeners and cleanup
+  callbacks. Close is idempotent. Cleanup continues after a callback fails. An independent
+  cancellation Promise settles pending work even if fetch does not honor AbortSignal.
+- `src/request.js` owns a native AbortController when available and reads the response body.
+  Destroy cancels both phases; late rejections are observed. Failed HTTP responses reject
+  before parsing. The controller cleanup is released when the request ends.
+- `src/parseVtt.js` is pure parsing with the historical timestamp floor, first inclusive
+  match data, raw xywh strings and lexical URL joining. Its old malformed-input limitations
+  remain under PKG-VTT-THUMB-03; extracting this function is not a parser rewrite.
+- `src/preview.js` owns the mobile 500ms timer and creates the setBar callback. Timer
+  generations reject old callbacks. Every style write checks lifetime state, including
+  callbacks captured before destroy. Geometry, mobile/desktop edges and cue selection
+  retain the latest published behavior.
+- `src/getVttArray.js` retains the old source helper signature as a fetch/parse wrapper.
+  The player registration uses the owned request module instead. Distribution/deep-import
+  review belongs to PKG-VTT-THUMB-06.
+
+The registration owns only the control element passed to its mounted callback. Before
+removing it, cleanup compares the live `art.controls['vtt-thumbnail']` alias with that exact
+element. It must not remove a later replacement. Partial listener/control installation is
+rolled back if initialization throws, preserving the original rejection.
+
+## Compatibility and intentional fixes
+
+Option/style remain live at their historical read points. The return stays a Promise;
+destroy during loading now settles it with the normal name result, without installing UI.
+Existing core plugin managers can complete their own destroyed-instance handling. This
+does not introduce a public destroy method or a new registration result field.
+
+Registration still downloads VTT once. A video restart does not reload it or reinterpret
+later option.vtt changes. Empty cues remain valid and hide the preview. HTTP failures now
+reject explicitly; before this fix, a 404 with a parseable body incorrectly displayed cues.
+The historical failure tests retain the former outcome rather than claiming it was valid API.
+
+The old 1.0.x export objects, earlier `thumbnails` control name and incorrect declarations
+are separately frozen and remain compatibility work for tasks 04-06. Current runtime work
+does not claim those consumer migrations or the full package refactor are finished.
+
+## Verification and future changes
+
+Use Yarn 1.22.22 and the repository's pinned Node version:
+
+```sh
+yarn test:vtt-thumbnail
+yarn test:browser test/browser/vtt-thumbnail-lifecycle.spec.js
+yarn build artplayer-plugin-vtt-thumbnail
+```
+
+The unit helper can load actual main/legacy files with ARTPLAYER_VTT_THUMBNAIL_ARTIFACT or
+the frozen former implementation with ARTPLAYER_VTT_THUMBNAIL_BASELINE=1. Historical tests
+are distinct from candidate expectations. Browser tests use real published/candidate cores,
+native fetch/abort, mouse hover, sprite decoding and cleanup. Their scope is not full old
+core/device coverage, installed tarballs, mobile Safari or the online editor.
+
+Modify parsing in parseVtt, requests in request, layout/timers in preview, and ownership in
+lifetime. Preserve the normal/failure lifecycle tests alongside any parser improvements.
+See ../../refactor/baselines/vtt-thumbnail-contract.md and the task 03 change record for
+historical evidence and outstanding acceptance work.

+# PKG-VTT-THUMB-03 资源所有权检查点
+
+将注册、请求、纯解析、预览/计时器和生命周期拆开；保留旧 getVttArray 源路径的包装函数。
+这是 03 的源码检查点，**任务继续 doing**：解析错误/输入规则及更多资源边界尚需完成，
+严格 TS/公开声明归 04，完整核心设备/安装/demo/编辑器验收归 05/06。
+
+## 已实现修复
+
+- 请求前订阅 destroy；原生 AbortController 可用时取消 fetch/body。即使 fetch 忽略 signal
+  或环境没有 AbortController，销毁也结算注册 Promise，迟到返回不安装控件，迟到拒绝被观察。
+- setBar、移动隐藏计时器和控件均有独立清理。计时器 ID 0 有效，旧定时回调有代次检查，
+  在 setTimeout 返回之前重入销毁时仍清掉迟到的 handle。
+- 每次样式写入检查关闭状态；销毁中重入不会再排计时器或后续写入。
+- 安装失败保留原错误并回滚已安装监听器/控件。清理失败只记录警告，继续其它清理。
+  控件只在实时 alias 仍为本次 mounted 元素时移除，不误删别人替换的控件。
+- HTTP 失败现在明确拒绝，不再解析错误响应体。这是单独复现的缺陷修正。
+
+## 保持的边界
+
+工厂/结果名、异步注册、URL/style 读取顺序、style 原对象、控件名/CSS/index、向下取整
+时间区间及首个命中、xywh/URL 几何、500ms 移动隐藏均保留。restart 不触发新增下载。
+源码抽出的 parseVtt 保持原算法；非法 cue/坐标、NOTE/ID 等仍不能称已修复。
+旧版 CJS `.default` 与同步声明冲突仍待 04，不能以当前直接函数入口代替所有旧消费形式。
+
+## 验证与交接
+
+21 项候选回归在冻结旧版 4 通过/17 失败，新源码通过；保留 01/02 历史测试。
+真实浏览器检查覆盖 published/candidate 核心、鼠标悬停、实际 sprite 像素和原生请求取消。
+准确构建、源码/产物/浏览器与 CI 结果见 [验证记录](../baselines/vtt-thumbnail-resources.json)。
+包内 ARCHITECTURE.md 说明实际文件地图和资源数据流。无依赖、版本或公开声明变更。
+按仓库命令生成 dist/docs 编译产物，不手改。回退本检查点提交可回到 02 后生产实现；
+历史对照仍可重跑。独立本地提交，不推送、不发布。
