feat(library): remove a track from the library without deleting the file

RemoveFromLibrary deletes the audio_files rows the way the scan's own
orphan cleanup does and records each path in excluded_paths. The
exclusion is not an enhancement: without it the next scan finds the
file, sees no row and imports it again, so the button undoes itself.

The soft scan compares files on disk against rows in the database, so
surveyAudioFiles and countAudioFiles both take the exclusion set —
otherwise an excluded path makes the two disagree forever and queues a
full scan on every launch. Deleting a row cascades to queue_tracks, so
the removal calls the same CompactQueue hook RemoveLibrary does.

Also lands the requested badge: library-status-indicator is a button
again where it can act, utils/library-status.ts states once what owning
and wanting mean, and the long-declared queued state finally has a
producer.

# 008 — The last audit, and the one binding that outlived six phases
**Status:** active — Phases 1 and 2 shipped.
**Branch:** main
**Created:** 2026-08-12
**Follows:** 007-ui-reconciliation
**Source:** `.planning/audits/2026-08-11-ui/a11y.md` (34 findings), plus
one item inherited through all six phases of 007.
## Problem
Three of the four audits from 2026-08-11 are closed. `a11y.md` is not,
and it is **the least verified material in the repo** — 007's own notes
say so twice, and every pass that touched it found the audit wrong about
something.
Two things follow from that, and they are the shape of this plan.
**The coverage map lies, and it lies in the direction of more work than
exists.** 007's map assigns `a11y.7` (top-results cards are click-only
divs) to Phase 6; the code has carried `role="button" tabindex="0"` and
an Enter/Space handler since Phase 1. It is not alone. A grep pass over
all 34 findings against the current tree closes at least five the map
still shows open, and three of those (`17`, `19`, `27`) were closed by
phases that were not about them.
**And what survives is not evenly distributed.** Of the ~13 that look
open, three are genuine loss of function and the rest are Minor or
Polish. One of the three — `15` — is a hard WCAG conformance failure
that has been sitting under a "Major" heading being read as a nice-to-
have.
Cutting across both: **two items in this audit were never measured at
all.** Colour contrast is flagged borderline (`--yj-text-tertiary` on
`--yj-bg-surface` ≈ 4.1:1 against 11 px text) with "that needs a real
measurement" written next to it, and 007 parked it under "deliberately
not planned — worth measuring before planning". The mouse-only resize
handles (`28`) were dropped as "cosmetic preference, no function lost",
which is a judgement made by reading. Both are claims with no number
behind them, which by this repo's own standard is not a finding yet.
Separately, and not from any audit: **`tracklist.delete`**. Advertised
in Settings as configurable, bound to nothing, and carried through six
phases because it needs an operation that does not exist.
## The triage, as of 2026-08-12
Grep-level against `1e4a4e6`. **Every row is a hypothesis** — this is
where the audit's claims are, not where the code is. Nothing here is
fixed until it has been reproduced in the running app.
**Closed** (verified present in code): `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`,
`7`, `8`, `12`, `13`, `16`, `17`, `19`, `27`, `33`.
**Closed by argument rather than by code**, to confirm by reading:
`20` (the type-scale/`_itemSize` coupling is now documented in
`tokens.css.ts`, which is what the finding asked for), `31` (one of
`cover-grid`'s two `<img>`s has an `alt`; the finding named one).
**Open:**
| # | Level | What the grep says |
|---|---|---|
| `15` | Major | `now-playing` is not among the four files carrying `prefers-reduced-motion`. WCAG 2.2.2: moving content over 5 s with no pause mechanism. |
| `14` | Major | `combobox.ts` has no `aria-controls`, no `aria-activedescendant`, no option ids. |
| `11` | Major | No `altKey` handler in `queue-panel`. The *other* half of this finding — "no keyboard path to add a track to the queue or a playlist" — was closed by Phase 5's `MenuKeyboard`. |
| `21` | Minor | `body { height: 100vh; overflow: hidden }` unchanged. WCAG 1.4.10. |
| `22` | Minor | `queue-panel` gained `aria-current`; `track-list` did not, and neither has a non-colour marker. |
| `24` | Minor | No `title` on the truncating element in `track-info`, `playlist-view`, `queue-panel` or `track-list`. |
| `25` | Minor | `<wa-progress-bar value=…>` with no label, verbatim as filed. |
| — | new | **Two unnamed native `<select>`s**, one of them `page-header`'s sort control on nine views. Not in the audit: `a11y.6` scanned `<button>`. Found in the AX tree while reproducing `14`. Belongs with `26`. |
| `28` | ~~dropped~~ | **Measured, stays dropped.** One header *label* clips at 800×600; zero data cells do. |
| `29` | Polish | `<h3 class="subtitle">` for type size. |
| `30` | Polish | No skip link anywhere. |
| `32` | Polish | `title="Remove from queue"`, not identifying the track. |
| `34` | Polish | The 10 px sort arrow, unchanged. |
| — | — | Colour contrast, never measured. |
## Ordering principle
By **what is lost**, then by containment.
Phase 1 first because it is the only phase where something a user needs
is unavailable: a marquee they cannot stop, a combobox that announces
nothing while they arrow through it, and a queue whose order cannot be
changed without a mouse.
Phase 2 second because both of its items are *questions*, and the
answers change what Phase 3 contains. If the contrast measurement comes
back below 4.5:1 it is a Phase 1 item wearing a Polish hat; if the
resize handles turn out to lose function rather than preference, `28`
stops being dropped.
Phase 3 is the tail, batched, because each item is a line and the cost
is in the verification rather than the change.
Phase 4 is `tracklist.delete`, last, because it is the only work in this
plan that can destroy a user's data and it should not share a pass with
anything.
---
## Phase 1 — The three that lose function
### `15` — the marquee cannot be stopped
`now-playing`'s title and artist scroll continuously while a track plays
when `scrollMode === 'always'` (persisted in localStorage), re-armed in
a loop by `onScrollCycleEnd`.
**Ships:** a `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` guard that treats `always`
as `never` and disables the transition. The setting stays; the query
overrides it, which is the right precedence — a stated OS-level
accessibility preference outranks an app default the user may never have
touched.
**Reproduce first:** the guard is two lines and will look like it
worked whether or not it did. Check under an emulated
`prefers-reduced-motion` in the running app, and check that the *hover*
scroll (`scrollMode === 'hover'`, the default) is also covered — the
finding names `always` and the mechanism is shared.
**Watch for:** `now-playing`'s geometry work in `updated()` keys on the
two scroll flags, because `.will-scroll .scroll-content` carries
`padding-right: 2em` and changing the class changes the distance the
marquee travels. A guard that suppresses the animation without telling
the geometry key will leave a stale measurement behind.
### `14` — the combobox announces nothing
`role="combobox" aria-expanded aria-autocomplete="list"` on the input
and `role="listbox"`/`role="option"` below it, with no `id` on the
listbox, no `aria-controls`, no `aria-activedescendant`, and no `id` on
the options. `aria-selected` is used to mean "highlighted".
**Ships:** ids on the listbox and each option, `aria-controls`,
`aria-activedescendant` tracking the highlight, and `aria-selected`
meaning *chosen*.
**Reproduce first:** the a11y snapshot could not see a dialog's name and
may not see this either — 007 lost twenty minutes to exactly that.
CDP's `Accessibility.getFullAXTree` reports the computed value and where
it came from; use it, not the snapshot.
### `11` — queue order cannot be changed without a mouse
Reordering is `draggable="true"` with the drop index computed from
cursor Y. There is no keyboard equivalent and no `aria-` substitute.
**Ships:** Alt+ArrowUp / Alt+ArrowDown moves the focused queue item, on
the roving tab stop `utils/roving-rows.ts` already gives that list, with
a live region announcing the new position.
**Watch for:** Alt+Arrow is unmodified-adjacent but not unmodified, so
`focusedControlOwnsKey` does not apply — this is a panel binding in
`backend/shortcuts/config.go`, registered the way `tracklist.*` is, not
a document listener. And the queue panel renders no list at all when
closed, so anything asserting on it has to open it first.
**This is the risky one.** It is a new interaction model, it touches the
backend shortcut table, and the drag path it parallels computes its drop
index geometrically. It lands last in the phase, alone.
### Verification
`make ui-test` per rule, and then **run the existing tests** — that is
what has caught every bad version of a new rule in 007, including twice
in the last pass. `make ui-visual` for `15` (it changes what renders).
An e2e case for `11`, because the queue panel's animated width means a
click issued while it moves lands on whatever slid under the pointer.
A manual pass per landing, with a screenshot read.
### Phase 1 — what actually shipped
Three landings, one per finding, each reproduced in the running app
before anything was written and each watched failing on the pre-fix
build before being believed.
- **`15`.** `shouldScroll()` returns false under
`prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`, live (a `matchMedia` listener, so
changing the OS setting is honoured without a reload — verified).
It covers `hover` as well as `always`.
- **`14`.** Ids on the listbox and every option, `aria-controls`,
`aria-activedescendant`, and `aria-selected` meaning *chosen* rather
than *highlighted*.
- **`11`.** Alt+ArrowUp/Down moves the focused queue row, with a live
region saying where it went.
Pinned by `now-playing.test.ts` (+2), `combobox-aria.test.ts` (5),
`queue-reorder.test.ts` (7), `e2e/specs/reduced-motion.spec.ts` (2) and
`e2e/specs/queue-reorder.spec.ts` (4). `make ui-test` 558 → **572**;
`make e2e` 68 → **74**.
#### Where the plan was wrong — Phase 1
Nine things, and the first group is the triage being right for the
wrong reason.
- **The grep triage was accurate about *what* is open and wrong about
*why* two of them are.** It is a good first pass and it cannot see
mechanism. `15` is filed as "no reduced-motion guard", which is true;
what makes a CSS-only guard wrong is that the cycle is a transition
out, a `transitionend` and a transition back, so suppressing the
animation strands the text off its own box with nothing to bring it
back. That is only visible by reading the cycle.
- **A fix routes people into a state nobody has looked at.** With the
marquee off, the fallback hard-clipped — "Overlong Trac|", no
ellipsis — because `text-overflow` was on the outer span while the
overflowing box is the inline-block child. It had never produced an
ellipsis **in any mode**, including the default, and no test saw it.
Found by reading the screenshot of the fix.
- **…and fixing that broke the measurement it depends on.** Giving the
child its own `overflow: hidden` stops the *parent* overflowing, so
`titleOverflows` went false and nothing would ever have scrolled
again, for anyone. Caught by the new test's positive case, which is
the whole reason it has one.
- **`a11y.6` scanned `<button>`, and says so.** "The only truly
unnamed controls" is a claim about buttons. The AX tree has two
unnamed `combobox` roles that are native `<select>`s — one of them
the page header's sort control, on nine views. Not fixed here; it is
a sweep of every form control, not a one-liner, and it belongs with
`a11y.26` in Phase 3.
- **The reproduction of the *fix* was wrong twice, on the probe side
both times.** Reading `activedescendant` out of the AX tree as
`relatedNodes[0].text` returned `(none)` on a working build — the
property is there, with `value.type: "idref"`. And `last('QueueChanged')`
returned a stale payload, so a reorder that had happened looked like
one that had not. Ask `GetState`, dump the whole property.
- **`11`'s stated scope is half done and the other half was already
closed.** The finding is "drag-and-drop has no keyboard equivalent
anywhere" and lists four sites; its stated *symptom* — "there is no
keyboard path to add a track to the queue or a playlist" — was closed
by Phase 5's `MenuKeyboard`. What was left is the queue's order, which
is the one the menu cannot express. Album→queue drag and
drop-on-nav-item remain, and are menu commands, not reorder.
- **The plan said a backend panel binding; it should not be one.** The
queue panel already handles Enter and the roving arrows in its own
*delegated* (not document) keydown, which is the sanctioned pattern.
Alt+Arrow joins them: it cannot collide with the global Up/Down
volume bindings (measured — 0 `VolumeChanged` events from a focused
row), and it keeps a reordering key out of a user-editable table
where it could be rebound onto something unmodified.
- **The index arithmetic is not symmetric, and the symmetric version
fails silently.** `MoveQueueTracks` takes an index into the array
*before* the move, so down-by-one must ask for `i + 2`; `i + 1` is
where the row already is once its own removal is accounted for, and
the backend's contiguous-block guard correctly returns without doing
anything. Pinned in both tiers.
- **`focusedIndex` was only ever moved by an arrow key.** A row reached
by a click or by Tab left it at 0, so `Enter` played the first track
in the queue from any focused row. Pre-existing, invisible until a
key moved something, fixed by reading the index off the row the event
came from.
And one that is not about the audit: **the backtick-in-a-`css`-comment
trap cost a cycle again**, in the same session as reading the warning
about it twice. It is worth treating as a lint rule rather than a piece
of knowledge.
---
## Phase 2 — The two that were never measured
Neither is a fix. Both are a number, and the number decides whether
there is work.
**Colour contrast.** Measured against the rendered app, not against the
token file: the tokens are what a component *may* use, and what matters
is the pairs that actually appear. Sample the real computed colours at
the real sizes, report the ratios, and only then decide. The audit's own
number (≈ 4.1:1) is a hand calculation from two hex values and has the
status of a hypothesis.
**`a11y.28`, the resize handles.** Four of them: the sidebar, the queue
panel, the now-playing column, and the track-list column resizers.
"Cosmetic preference, no function lost" is the claim to test. The
track-list one is the suspicious member — a column narrowed to its floor
clips its label (007 phase 5 found "Durat…" at 800 px), so widening a
column may be the only way to read a value, which is function.
**Record both outcomes either way.** A measurement that closes a finding
is worth as much as one that opens it, and this plan's predecessor got
about a third of its value from findings that evaporated.
### Phase 2 — what the measurements said
One opened much wider than filed; one closed.
#### Contrast: worse than "borderline", and it was never one token
The audit's ≈ 4.1:1 was a hand calculation from two hex values, and
plan 007 filed it under "deliberately not planned — worth measuring
before planning". Measured against the rendered app across twelve views
and then across all three ramps: **110 failing nodes**, and
`textTertiary` failing AA in **nine of twelve** text/surface
combinations — 4.35:1 on dark's surface, 3.25:1 on its elevated,
2.31:1 on its overlay, and 2.553.32:1 on *every* surface of the light
ramp, which the audit never considered.
Fixed, and now **0 of 659 nodes** on dark and darker. Three mechanisms,
only the first of which is the finding:
- **The ramps.** `textTertiary` per ramp — `#a6a6a6` / `#949494` /
`#5c636a` — sized to the lightest surface it actually sits on and
keeping its hue.
- **The avatar generator**, which is not a colour but a *family* of
them: `hsl(hue, 45%, 35%)` behind white initials failed for **35 of
360 hues**, so which artists were unreadable depended on how their
names hashed. 32% clears every hue.
- **Jobs' local `#ff6b6b`**, 4.15:1 on elevated.
Pinned by `theme-contrast.test.ts` and `avatar-color.test.ts` — unit
tests over the data, not sweeps of the DOM. `make ui-test` 572 →
**608**.
#### `a11y.28`: the drop was right, and now for a measured reason
"Cosmetic preference, no function lost" holds. At the window minimum
(800×600, which is where the shell was measured in 007) the track list
clips exactly one thing: the **Duration header label**. Zero data cells
clip, and the sort that label names has a redundant keyboard-reachable
dropdown. The queue panel at its default 321px clips nothing either.
A keyboard-only user cannot change a panel width; they do not lose
access to any value by not being able to. **Stays dropped.**
#### Two things the measurements found that are not in the audit
Both were bigger than what they were found under. Both are now fixed —
see the third landing below.
- **The semantic colours were fixed across ramps, and a fixed colour
cannot serve a near-black and a near-white background.** `--yj-error`
measured 3.42:1 on dark's surface and 2.55:1 on its elevated;
`--yj-info` 3.10:1 and 2.31:1; success and warning failed on dark and
light both. As *backgrounds* under white text, success (3.45) and
warning (3.58) failed too.
- **The light ramp was not a usable theme.** With the greyscale fixed
it still had **50 failing nodes**: the accent yellow under white text
(1.43:1) and the autotag diff's pale greens and reds on white
(1.362.59:1).
### Phase 2, third landing — the ramp reaches the semantic colours
**2237 nodes across three ramps and twelve views, 0 failing.**
The split is by the question a colour answers. A **fill** is "what
colour is a danger button" — red in every theme, unchanged. A **text**
colour is "what colour is the word *failed* on this background" — per
ramp, because one value cannot clear 4.5:1 against both a near-black and
a near-white surface. `bgOverlay` keeps the exception it already had on
the dark ramp.
And every fill now carries a **computed foreground**, because the accent
is a colour picker and no fixed answer survives one: white if white
clears 4.5:1, else black. That keeps a red danger button white and
flips a green or amber one to black. Accent-as-text goes through
`accentTextOn()`, which mixes along the hue until it clears the ramp's
surface and stops — returning the accent *unchanged* on both dark
ramps, so the dark themes are visually untouched by that half.
`make ui-test` 608 → **649**.
#### Where this pass was wrong
- **"The chrome stays dark while the body goes light" was mine, and it
was false.** I read it off a screenshot; the DOM says `.top-bar` is
`#e9ecef` and `.sidebar` `#f8f9fa` under the light ramp, and a
re-taken screenshot agrees. The first one was captured before the
theme had propagated. Third time in two passes that a screenshot read
at the wrong moment produced a confident wrong claim — and the second
time this pass that **the picture and the number disagreed and the
number was mine**.
- **A `color:` regex matches `border-color:`.** Twice: once rewriting
semantic text colours (3 borders) and once rewriting accent text (30
more). A border is a fill, not text. Caught by grepping the result
rather than by any test, because nothing renders differently enough
to fail.
- **Two accent buttons took their foreground from `--yj-bg-base`**,
which inverts with the ramp — white on yellow at 1.43:1. That is not
a colour that was chosen badly; it is a token used for the wrong
meaning, and it only shows up in the theme nobody looks at.
---
## Phase 3 — The tail
`21`, `22`, `24`, `25`, `29`, `30`, `32`, `34`, plus whatever Phase 2
promotes or closes. One landing, batched, each item confirmed against
the code before it is touched.
Two of them are not one-liners and should be treated as such:
- **`21`** (the shell is `100vh; overflow: hidden`) is a layout change
to the app frame, and 007 phase 5 already measured the frame's real
minimum at 800×600. Reflow at high zoom is the same question one
variable over. It may want its own landing.
- **The unnamed `<select>`s** from Phase 1, with `26`.
- ~~**The semantic palette** and **the light ramp**~~ — both landed in
Phase 2's third pass rather than waiting for this tail.
- **`22`** asks for a non-colour marker on the playing row, which is a
visual change to the densest list in the app and moves a baseline.
---
## Phase 4 — `tracklist.delete`, and the operation behind it
### The decision
*(Decided 2026-08-12, before any code.)*
**"Remove from library" removes the database row and excludes the path
from future scans. It does not touch the file.**
The comment at `backend/shortcuts/config.go:36` states the fork exactly:
the row (which the next scan puts back unless the path is also excluded)
or the file (a delete-your-music button one keystroke from a focused
row). Three shapes were considered:
- **A — row + path exclusion.** Reversible, needs an exclusions table,
so a schema file *and* a migration.
- **B — delete the file**, to the platform trash. Real user intent for
an app with duplicate detection, genuinely destructive, and a new
cross-platform dependency.
- **C — ship the operation as a menu command only**, leave `Delete`
unbound.
**A, delivered as C**, and then the keystroke. Without the exclusion,
A is a button that undoes itself on the next scan, which is worse than
no button — so the exclusion is not an enhancement, it is what makes the
operation mean anything. `Delete` is bound only to *open the
confirmation*, never to perform the removal: that makes the keystroke a
request rather than an action, which is the only version defensible one
key from a focused row.
**B is not foreclosed and is not in this plan.** It deserves its own
argument.
### What ships
- An exclusions table, following the two-file schema discipline
(`sql/schemas/` for the target shape, `sql/migrations/` for the
existing install, column order matching, no index on a migrated
column in the schema file).
- `RemoveFromLibrary(filePaths)` — rows deleted, paths excluded, one
event carrying enough for the stores to patch rather than invalidate.
It is a *write*, so it goes through `ExecContext`, not the read pool.
- A context-menu command behind `confirmAction()`, with impact copy
naming the count and saying explicitly that files on disk are not
touched.
- `tracklist.delete` re-advertised, bound to opening that dialog.
- The scanner honouring the exclusion list, which is the half that makes
the rest true.
### Verification
A Go test that a removed path survives a rescan; an e2e case that the
row is gone, the dialog said so, and the file still exists. Both halves
matter — the second is the promise the copy makes.
---
## Deliberately not in this plan
- **Splitting `explore-view.ts`** (1 900 lines). The shelves are in it
because a separate component would need its own art fetching and
therefore its own cache, cap and probe, and `perf.M7` exists because
that view never unmounts. The reasoning holds; the size is the price.
- **A `make perf` before/after for Phase 6's shelves.** Both seeds get
their catalog from the artifact rather than from the seed tarball, so
a before and an after are not the same corpus unless the e2e staging
fixture is extended to bulk scale. Recorded as unmeasured in 007
rather than implied to be free.
- **The unowned badge's `+` glyph.** It becomes correct the day the
badge becomes a button. Changing it now touches four components'
visual baselines for a call better made then.
- **The albums shelf leading with one act.** Needs dump-side data to
express "these eight artists are one group and its solo members".
A plan, not a fix.
- **WebKit2GTK-specific behaviour** (page zoom in the Wails shell, how
Orca traverses the virtualizer's windowed DOM). Only answerable on the
real shell, and CI is the only place WebKit runs.
## First step
Phase 1, and within it `15` — reproduced under an emulated
`prefers-reduced-motion` **before** the guard is written, because a
two-line CSS change looks identical whether or not it worked, and this
plan's predecessor met that failure in seven different costumes.
