Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved image preview handling when replacing an image or when loading fails. Previous image resources are released when a new image is selected, and the current resource is cleaned up after loading succeeds or fails. Outdated image requests no longer interfere with the latest selection, while successfully loaded images continue to appear in the preview.

Walkthrough

loadImage tracks the active object URL, revokes replaced URLs, and ignores callbacks from superseded requests. It revokes the active URL after a successful load or failure. Successful loads update the image and render the preview.

Changes: Image URL lifecycle

Load and clean up image URLs `web/js/screens.js`	`loadImage` revokes the previous URL, stores the replacement, and ignores callbacks from superseded requests. It revokes the active URL after load or error. Successful loads update the image and render the preview.

Updated! Revoked the object URL inside img.onload with the race-condition check (state.imageUrl === url) and cleared state.imageUrl.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Ignore stale image loads before updating the preview.

When a replacement is selected while the previous image is loading, revoking the previous object URL does not cancel a request that already started. The previous onload callback can therefore run later. Its guard only protects URL cleanup, so it can still replace state.image and render the previous image.
Suggested fix
  img.onload = () => {
+   if (state.imageUrl !== url) return;
-   if (state.imageUrl === url) {
-     URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
-     state.imageUrl = null;
-   }
+   URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
+   state.imageUrl = null;
    state.image = img;
    renderPreview();
  };

Update the image load callback so it returns immediately when state.imageUrl no
longer matches the callback’s URL; only the current image load should clean up
the URL, update state.image, and call renderPreview.

Updated! Added early returns (if (state.imageUrl !== url) return;) to both img.onload and img.onerror so stale image loads are ignored, preventing stale overwrites of state.image and preview rendering.

jamro · 2026-10-28T15:32:50Z

Thanks for the contribution and for addressing the review feedback! The URL cleanup and stale image load handling look good now. I'm merging this PR.

Welcome aboard! Happy to have you contributing to Tiny Engineer! 🎉
