+Remove the "list" icon that appears before every playlist name in the playlist view, and add the user-configured favorites icon (heart or star) to the default playlist entry only.
+
+Purpose: Cleaner playlist list — the list icon adds visual noise; the favorites icon on the default playlist gives quick visual identification.
+Output: Updated playlist-view.ts with conditional icon rendering.

+From frontend/wailsjs/go/models.ts (playlist namespace):
+```typescript
+export class Summary {
+ ID: number;
+ Name: string;
+ CreatedAt: string;
+ UpdatedAt: string;
+}
+```
+
+From frontend/src/store/controllers/favorites-controller.ts:
+```typescript
+// Already instantiated on the component as: private favCtrl = new FavoritesController(this);
+get playlistId(): number; // Returns the default playlist's DB ID
+get iconName(): string; // Returns 'star' or 'heart' based on user config
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Task 1: Remove list icon from all playlists and add favorites icon to default playlist
+ frontend/src/components/playlist-view/playlist-view.ts
+
+In the `renderPlaylistItem` method (~line 2883), replace the static `` block (lines 2923-2926) with a conditional:
+
+- If `entry.summary.ID === this.favCtrl.playlistId`, render `` (shows heart or star per user config)
+- Otherwise, render nothing (no icon at all between chevron and name)
+
+The existing `.playlist-icon` CSS class (lines 568-572) should remain — it styles the icon for the default playlist entry. No CSS changes needed.
+
+Also update the `.playlist-body` left padding from `42px` to `32px` (line 590) to tighten the track list indentation now that most rows no longer have the icon taking up ~28px (18px icon + 10px gap). This keeps the tracks visually aligned under the playlist name rather than indented too far.
+
+Do NOT touch the empty-state `` on line 2818 — that's the "no playlists" illustration, not a per-playlist icon.
+
+
+ npm run --prefix frontend check (TypeScript compiles without errors)
+
+
+ - No playlist entry shows the "list" icon
+ - The default/favorites playlist entry shows the heart or star icon (matching user config)
+ - Non-default playlists show only the chevron then the name (no icon between)
+ - TypeScript compiles cleanly
+
+
+
+
+
+
+- `npm run --prefix frontend check` passes
+- Visual: In the playlist view, non-default playlists show chevron → name (no icon). The default playlist shows chevron → heart/star → name.
+
+
+
+The list icon is removed from all playlist entries. The default playlist entry displays the user-configured favorites icon (heart or star). All other playlists show no icon. TypeScript compiles without errors.

+# Quick Task 6: Remove List Icon from Playlist Names and Add Favorites Icon
+
+Conditional icon rendering in playlist list — favorites icon (heart/star per user config) on default playlist, no icon on others, tighter body padding.
+
+## What Changed
+
+### Task 1: Remove list icon, add conditional favorites icon
+**Commit:** `3c19766`
+
+- **Removed** the static `` that appeared before every playlist name
+- **Added** conditional rendering: if `entry.summary.ID === this.favCtrl.playlistId`, renders the user-configured favorites icon (`heart` or `star`); otherwise renders `nothing` (no DOM element)
+- **Reduced** `.playlist-body` left padding from `42px` to `32px` to tighten track list indentation now that most rows lack the icon
+- The empty-state `` (line 2818) was intentionally left untouched
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None — plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `vite build` compiled 283 modules successfully
+- Pre-commit hook `frontend-typecheck` passed
+- Default playlist shows favorites icon (heart/star per user config)
+- Non-default playlists show chevron directly followed by name (no icon)
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- [x] `frontend/src/components/playlist-view/playlist-view.ts` exists
+- [x] Commit `3c19766` exists in git history
