Plan 016 B2, phase 2. Phase 1 took the seek bar and the volume out of
the phone's bottom bar -- 4px of height is not a thumb target, and a
phone's volume belongs to its hardware keys -- and promised them a
full-screen view. This is it, reached from a button over the mini
player's cover art.

**It composes the transport rather than reimplementing it.** The same
`seek-bar`, `player-controls` and `volume-control` the desktop bar
uses; a phone layout that copies them is a second transport to fix
every bug in, and the seek bar in particular carries interpolation
rules that took a plan of their own to get right. The seek bar
thickens its own track below the breakpoint, in its own stylesheet,
because the track size lives on a wa-slider inside its shadow root
where a custom property from the host cannot reach.

**It is a detail view, not a primary one.** It is somewhere you go and
come back from, so index.ts pushes the current view and Back pops it --
which is also why it is not a fifth tab: a tab you cannot leave by
pressing it again is not a tab.

Two things came from reading a screenshot rather than from a failing
test, and both were invisible to assertions that were individually
correct.

**The mini player was still under the full-screen view**, repeating it
in 4em of an 844px phone. index.css hides the bottom bar while
`#main-content[data-active-view="now-playing"]`, through `:has()`
rather than a class toggled from index.ts, because the active view is
already published as an attribute. That takes the queue button with it,
so the view carries its own.

**And phase 1's shell rules had never applied.** A media query adds no
specificity, and the phone block sat above the plain rules it meant to
override, so at 390px the header kept its 2em gutters (32px), its 16px
gap and its 24px title, and the bottom bar kept a fixed 320px first
column. Nothing failed: the shell fits because of `min-width: 0` and
each component's own media query, which live in their own stylesheets
and have no later rule to lose to -- so what was dead was exactly the
cosmetic half no assertion looks at. The phone rules are one section at
the end of the file now, and it says why it is last. Measured after:
12px, 8px, 17.6px, `154px 187px 33px`.

## A media query adds no specificity, and dead CSS looks like working CSS (2026-08-16)
Plan 016 B2 phase 2 shipped the full-screen now-playing view, and
checking it with a screenshot found that **phase 1's shell rules had
never applied**.
`index.css` is base rules then component rules, and the phone block had
been inserted in the middle — above the plain `.top-bar` and `.title`
rules it meant to override. A media query is not a specificity boost,
so with equal specificity the *later* declaration wins. Measured at
390px before the fix:
| declared for the phone | actually computed |
|---|---|
| `padding-left: 0.75em` | 32px (the 2em base) |
| `gap: 0.5em` | 16px (base) |
| `font-size: 1.1em` | 24px (the 1.5em base) |
| `grid-template-columns: minmax(0,1fr) auto auto` | `320px 1fr auto` (base) |
After moving the block to the end of the file: 12px, 8px, 17.6px, and
`154px 187px 33px`.
**Nothing failed while they were dead**, which is the part worth
keeping. The phone spec asserts that the shell does not scroll
sideways, and it did not — because the fitting was being done by
`min-width: 0` and by each component's *own* media query, which live in
their own stylesheets and so had no later rule to lose to. The
declarations that did nothing were the cosmetic ones, and no assertion
was ever going to see them. A screenshot did, in about ten seconds.
The file now ends with one phone section, and says why it is last.
### What the same screenshot found about the view itself
The bottom bar was still rendering the mini player *underneath* the
full-screen view — 4em of a 844px phone spent saying exactly what the
view above it says, and invisible to every assertion about either one
(both were correct on their own). `index.css` hides `.bottom-bar` while
`#main-content[data-active-view="now-playing"]`, through `:has()`
rather than a class toggled from `index.ts`: which view is showing is
already published as an attribute, and a second expression of the same
fact is a second thing to keep in step.
That took the queue button away with it, since that button lives in the
bar — so the view carries its own, toggling the same `open` attribute
on the same panel element.
**And a css`` literal cannot contain a backtick.** A comment reading
"the track size is set on the `wa-slider` inside its shadow root"
terminates the tagged template, and the failure arrives as
`Expected "]" but found "wa"` from the CSS parser, at a line number in
the *comment*. `make css-check` exists for this and named it
immediately.

`<bottom-nav>` is the primary navigation, and the shell fits 320px

volume went), long-press for the context menus that are right-click

feature with no touch equivalent.
**B2, the desktop shell.** Scope decided (below); **phases 1 and 2 are
done.**
- *Phase 1, the shell.* Below 600px the sidebar column is gone,
`<bottom-nav>` is the primary navigation, and the shell fits 320px
exactly — measured, from 652px in a 360px viewport before.
- *Phase 2, the full-screen now-playing view.* Where phase 1's seek bar
and volume went. A detail view, so Back pops the nav stack; it
composes the real transport components rather than copying them; and
it hides the bottom bar while it is up, so it carries its own queue
button.
What is left is the rest of the *interactions*: long-press for the
