[omnidisc] unwatch failed

Error message

[omnidisc] unwatch failed

What it means

unwatchStream invokes `omnidisc_stream_unwatch` to stop receiving a user's stream. On backend rejection the warning is logged, but the finally block always removes the userId from `watchingIds`, so local state and backend state can diverge. Called from initStream, toggleWatch, and stop (which unwatch all ids during teardown).

Solutions

1. Make the backend unwatch idempotent (no-op + Ok when the id is unknown).
2. Filter the id from watchingIds before invoking, or reconcile backend watch state via a stats/refresh call after failure.
3. Log errorText(e) server-side correlation: inspect the Rust error to see if it is 'not watching' vs command-missing.
4. Deduplicate toggleWatch so unwatch is not issued twice concurrently.

Example fix

// before
await invoke("omnidisc_stream_unwatch", { userId });
// after
if (watchingIds.includes(userId)) {
  await invoke("omnidisc_stream_unwatch", { userId });
}

if (!watchingIds.includes(userId)) return;

try {
  await invoke("omnidisc_stream_unwatch", { userId });
} catch (e) {
  console.warn("[omnidisc] unwatch failed", errorText(e));
} finally {
  watchingIds = watchingIds.filter((id) => id !== userId);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling unwatchStream(userId) for a userId the backend is not watching, a malformed userId, or when the backend `omnidisc_stream_unwatch` command panics/is unregistered. Also fires during stop() teardown for every watched id.

Common situations: Backend already dropped the peer (stream ended server-side) so unwatch finds nothing; duplicate unwatch after a toggle race; stale watch entries after a reconnect.
