 # TODO
 
+## TFE Public Page — File Display
+
+- [x] Replace `<embed>` with `<iframe>` for PDF display (better cross-browser support)
+- [x] Exclude `cover` file_type from public files loop (covers are banners, not content)
+- [x] Move `App::boot()` in Dispatcher to after direct-response matching (no session on media requests)
+
 ## Dev / Debug Fixes
 
 - [x] Fix `serve` recipe: show all PHP output (errors, logs) except static assets/connection noise
