+ * Issue #33: "Want track" filed the request and left the badge alone.
+ *
+ * The tracklist's badges read `libraryStatusFor(false, track.mbid)` at
+ * render time, which is a dependency on `downloadStore` that Lit cannot
+ * see. `explore-album-details` did subscribe to that store, but its
+ * callback only assigned `canDownload` and `isRequested` — neither of
+ * which a *track* request changes — so nothing in the component's
+ * reactive state moved and the page never re-rendered. The request was
+ * real, the plus stayed a plus, and clicking again cancelled it.
+ *
+ * The other three hosts rendering these badges (`explore-artist-
+ * details`, `explore-view`, `top-results-row`) have always asked for
+ * the repaint in the same place, which is what made this one look
+ * correct on inspection.
