logan da38b865fc feat(android): playback that survives the screen locking
An app that plays audio becomes a music player at the point where the
screen can lock, a call can interrupt, and the headphones can come out.
None of that existed: the foreground service was typed for media but
had no MediaSession, no transport notification and no audio focus, so
oto would happily keep writing to a stream nobody could hear.

The apparent blocker is that Wails' androidBridge* helpers are
unexported, so Go cannot call arbitrary Java. It does not need to.
StartForegroundService(json) *is* exported, and build/android/ is our
tree, so widening the JSON WailsBridge already accepts is a local edit;
coming back, WailsBridge.emitEvent lands on the application event bus,
which Go subscribes to with app.Event.On. One document out, one command
event back, and no new JNI. No new Gradle dependency either: minSdk is
21, which is exactly when android.media.session.MediaSession and
Notification.MediaStyle arrived, so androidx.media buys two
Build.VERSION branches' worth of nothing.

Four things in it are load-bearing.

**A duck is not a volume change.** Player.SetDuck holds the attenuation
as an offset and re-applies the user's level through setVolumeLocked,
so it cannot accumulate across repeated ducks and getUserVolume -- which
feeds the event, the persisted state and every relative change -- still
reports what the user chose. Writing through to the volume would let
one notification tone permanently turn the music down.

**The duck path is pre-Oreo only.** From API 26 the framework ducks the
app itself and sends no CAN_DUCK focus change; asking to be told
instead (setWillPauseWhenDucked) would mean pausing for every
notification tone, and doing both would attenuate twice.

**An unchanged payload is not an event**, the rule emitStatus already
states one package over: every push crosses JNI and re-delivers an
Intent, and the player pushes state on several paths that can agree.

**After the first start, an update is startService.** From Android 12 a
background app may not *start* a foreground service but may keep
feeding one it already has, which is every track change with the screen
off. Relatedly, every path through onStartCommand calls startForeground
-- one that returns without it is killed.

The contract with Java lives in androidpayload.go *without* the android
build tag, and is tested. Everything left in android.go is untested by
construction: make lint and make test are three tag sets on
linux/amd64, so the only thing that compiles it is the cross-compiler
in make android, and the only thing that can run it is a phone.

None of the behaviour above has been observed on a device. The APK
builds and both halves compile; that is the whole of what is verified.

logan e14a34fccf fix(android): let the app reach the user's music
Three of plan 016's four blockers. Each is a different reason the app
could not work at all on a phone.

**It had no permission to read anything.** The generated manifest asked
for INTERNET, VIBRATE, biometrics, location and a camera, and nothing
whatever about storage -- so at targetSdk 35 the app could see its own
private directory and no music. It now declares READ_MEDIA_AUDIO, the
two capped legacy storage permissions, and MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

That last one is deliberate and is the load-bearing choice. This app is
a library manager: audio_files.file_path is the primary key of
ownership, the scanner walks a directory the user chose, and tagwriter
rewrites files in place. MediaStore offers no stable directory to walk
and no in-place write, so scoped storage is not "more work" here, it is
a different application. MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is Play-restricted,
which is acceptable only because this ships as an APK through the
package registry -- if it ever targets Play, that line is what has to
go, and plan 016 says what replaces it.

It is granted on a Settings screen rather than in a dialog, so it
cannot be requested with requestPermissions(). MainActivity opens that
screen on every cold start until access exists -- there is no degraded
mode worth offering -- and re-checks in onResume, because the way back
from another task is a resume, emitting android:storageAccess so the
frontend can react.

**The first-run flow could not complete.** All three call sites asked
for a folder through the Wails dialog, which returns an error on
Android: SAF yields tree URIs and this app is keyed on paths. So the
app browses the filesystem itself, which it can now do. ListDirectories
lists directories only (the thing being chosen is a library root),
skips what it cannot stat rather than failing the listing (Android's
storage root holds directories no app may enter), follows symlinks
(os.DirEntry reports the link, so a symlinked music folder would
silently vanish), and hides dotted entries.

utils/pick-directory.ts is the one place that chooses between the two,
so the three call sites changed by one line each. **Which platform is
asked of the backend**, not of System.IsAndroid(): the dialog is
backend code, so the backend is what knows whether it can open one; it
answers for iOS at the same time; and it keeps the fallback testable
through the ordinary transport fake rather than a module mock of the
Wails runtime, whose platform helpers read build constants.

**And MPRIS was compiled into the Android build**, because android
implies the linux build tag, so it went looking for a session bus that
does not exist. mpris_linux.go is `linux && !android` now and the stub
covers Android, which means no lock-screen transport there yet -- a
missing feature rather than a broken one, and the remaining blocker.

The foreground service is typed mediaPlayback rather than the
scaffold's dataSync, with the matching permission, so playback can
survive the screen locking once there is a MediaSession to drive it.
The type in the manifest and the one passed to startForeground must
agree or startForeground throws.

logan 78576b8da9 docs: assess what Android parity would take
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m40s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 7s
CI / e2e (push) Canceled after 3s
CI / check (push) Successful in 2m18s
Plan 015 shipped a pipeline; this is what stands between that and an
app worth installing. Verified against the source and the generated
manifest rather than guessed.

Four blockers, and none of them is porting work. The manifest requests
no storage or media permission at all, so the app can read no music --
and READ_MEDIA_AUDIO would not be enough, because it grants access
through MediaStore while this app's whole model is absolute paths:
audio_files.file_path is the primary key of ownership and every
GetFilePathsBy... query exists to hand paths to the player. The
first-run wizard calls DirectoryPicker, which Wails documents as
returning an error on Android, and the wizard intercepts pointer events
until a library exists, so the app is inert rather than merely empty.
mpris_linux.go is compiled in, because android implies linux. And the
scaffold's foreground service is typed dataSync rather than
mediaPlayback, with no MediaSession and no audio focus, so playback
dies at screen lock and there are no lock-screen controls.

They are all the same question: is the Android app a librarian or a
player? The desktop app is a librarian -- it scans folders, dedupes
covers, rewrites tags on disk -- and that model rests on owning a
filesystem, which is exactly what Android declines to give. So the plan
argues that parity is the wrong target and lays out three coherent
products instead, recommending a MediaStore-backed player.

Four things are worth doing whatever is decided, and the highest
information-per-minute one needs no code: run the published APK on a
real phone. Nothing in sections A or B has been observed on Android,
because the x86_64 emulator cannot run the app and emulator 37 refuses
arm64 images on an x86_64 host.

"the keystore did not open — is ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD right?" is a
guess, and there are three quite different reasons behind it. The step
distinguishes them now.

**A secret pasted into a web form very often carries a trailing
newline**, and a password is compared byte for byte, so the run failed
with a password that was correct. Reproduced exactly: keytool rejects
`Correct123\n` against a keystore whose password is `Correct123`. CR
and LF are stripped from the password, the alias and the key password
now, and the step says when that mattered.

**A wrong alias failed a minute later, inside Gradle.** It defaults to
`yellowjacket`, so any keystore created with another alias got there.
The alias is checked up front and the failure lists the aliases the
keystore actually holds.

**And a truncated or mis-pasted base64 is a different problem from a
bad password**, so the artifact is described before it is opened: size
and its first four bytes, named as PKCS12 or legacy JKS, with a warning
when the header is neither. A truncation shows up as 300 bytes against
2564.

Verified against real keystores for all five cases: correct, trailing
newline, wrong password, wrong alias, truncated base64.

Decode and build are one step now. Splitting them would mean either
handing the password to a later step through $GITHUB_ENV -- where the
env dump is only masked for values that are verbatim a secret, so a
trimmed one could print in clear -- or repeating the trimming in both.
The failure message also prints the password's length, which is the
one thing that distinguishes "wrong value" from "invisible whitespace",
and only on failure.

Emulator 37 refuses cross-architecture emulation outright -- "Avd's CPU
Architecture 'arm64' is not supported by the QEMU2 emulator on x86_64
host" -- and there is no flag for it. Google dropped it.

That matters because the previous commit's finding points at arm64 as
the ABI that works, so the obvious next move is to boot an arm64 AVD,
and the obvious next move costs a 3.8 GB download before it fails.
Written down so the next session does not spend it.

The consequence is stated rather than hidden: the claim that arm64
avoids the seccomp trap rests on reading modernc's two code paths, not
on having run it. Verifying it needs an arm64 host, a physical device
or adb connect.

logan ed975019dc fix(dev): the smoke target died silently on a genuinely dead app
Two harness bugs and the finding that exposed them.

**`pidof` exits 1 when it finds nothing**, and under `set -e` a failing
command substitution killed the script before it could print anything
-- rc=1, no output. That was invisible for as long as the app
crash-*looped*, because there is always some pid in that state. It
appeared the moment the app died for good and ActivityManager stopped
respawning it, which is precisely the run you most want output from.

**And an install failure said nothing useful.** Both ways it fails are
about identity rather than the build: INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE
when a bare `make android` (versionCode 1) meets something a versioned
build left behind, and a signature mismatch when a debug-signed local
build meets a release-signed one. Both were hit in one session, and
both are fixed by uninstalling. The target says so now instead of
leaving someone to read the constant name.

The finding: with the startup bug fixed the app reaches the database
and takes SIGSYS on the x86_64 emulator, because modernc.org/libc's
Xlstat64 issues a raw lstat syscall on linux/amd64 and Android's
seccomp filter forbids it -- bionic never issues it. arm64 has no lstat
syscall at all, so ccgo_linux_arm64.go routes Xlstat through fstatat
and is structurally unaffected; Go's own syscall package already used
fstatat on both.

So the default emulator cannot verify this app, and the skill says so
rather than letting the next session read a tombstone as a regression.
2026-08-16 16:25:33 -04:00
logan 0c7f34ab90 fix(android): give the app a home directory so it starts
backend/system resolves config and data from $HOME or the OS
equivalent, and Android has neither: buildUserDirPath switches on
runtime.GOOS with cases for darwin, linux and windows and a default
returning errUnsupportedOS. So NewYellowJacketApp failed and main()
called os.Exit(1) about six milliseconds after the JNI bridge came up.

That failure is invisible in all three places anyone would look. There
is no panic, no AndroidRuntime stack and no tombstone, because os.Exit
is not a crash; Go's stdout does not reach logcat, so the slog line
naming the error is discarded; and ActivityManager respawns the process
fast enough that pidof always answers, so a crash-looping app looks
alive.

main() now sets the override before anything asks for a path.
application.Mobile.StoragePath() is the platform's own answer --
getFilesDir() on Android, Application Support on iOS -- and returns ""
on desktop, where UseHomeOverride is a no-op, so this needs no build
tag and changes nothing off mobile. resolveUserDirPath already honours
YJ_HOME on every OS, so there was a seam for it.

The knowledge stays in main(): backend/system gains no import of the
Wails application package, for the same reason backend/events is split
by the indexbuild tag.

UseHomeOverride's two rules are tested because nothing else would
notice them breaking. An empty base does nothing, which is exactly the
desktop case. And an override already set wins, so YJ_HOME still
relocates a sandbox on the one platform that would otherwise decide for
itself.

This is not the end of the port. The app now reaches the database and
takes SIGSYS on the x86_64 emulator -- modernc.org/libc issues a raw
lstat syscall on linux/amd64 and Android's seccomp forbids it. arm64,
which is what ships to phones, has no lstat syscall at all and routes
through fstatat, so it is structurally unaffected. See NOTES.md.

CLAUDE.md said `wails3 task common:update:build-assets` regenerates
build/ios/ and build/android/. It does not: in beta.8 that command
extracts only updatable_build_assets, which is darwin/ios/linux/windows,
and the android tree comes from `generate build-assets`. It also said
nfpm's homepage and license are left alone by the refresh -- a comment
in that file says the same -- and a refresh reset them to wails.io and
MIT. Both corrected, and the CI section now describes five workflows.

NOTES.md gains the measurements: what cross-compiles and what does not,
the emulator environment, the Wails Android documentation's own two
errors, and the one line that stops the app at runtime --
buildUserDirPath switches on runtime.GOOS and Android takes the default
branch returning errUnsupportedOS, so main() calls os.Exit(1) six
milliseconds after the JNI bridge comes up.

The fix is a documented, build-tag-free API:
application.Mobile.StoragePath() returns the app's private files
directory and returns "" on desktop, and resolveUserDirPath already
lets YJ_HOME override the path on every OS. Deliberately not taken here
-- plan 015 is a pipeline, not a port, and the larger question it does
not answer is that open-directory dialogs return an error on Android
while this app's entire first run is "choose your music folder".

logan 0c6ca72cf1 ci(android): publish a signed APK on every version tag
Builds the fat APK and puts it in Gitea's *generic* package registry,
which unlike the repository is readable without credentials -- the
reason an Obtainium client can poll a plain URL with no token and no
public mirror of the source. A versioned copy for history, a fixed
`latest` URL to watch.

**Its own workflow, not a job in ci.yml.** That workflow runs on every
branch push and is the one that gates; this takes tens of minutes on a
cold cache and the runner has capacity 1, so hanging it off the gate
would put every push behind an SDK download.

**Keyed on the tag.** The ljos pipeline this is modelled on computes a
version in CI and cuts the release itself, then gates its Android job
on needs.release.outputs.version with an always() whose absence
silently kills the manual path. This repo has no release automation --
tags are pushed by hand and homebrew-formula.yml already keys on v* --
so the tag is the version and none of that machinery, or its failure
modes, is needed.

**No continue-on-error**, which that pipeline does carry: there the
Android job shares a workflow with a server deploy that must never go
red over a phone build. Here it is standalone and can neither delay nor
redden anything, so a release step that fails silently would be
strictly worse than one that fails visibly.

Four gates before anything is published, each checked against a real
APK: a non-empty artifact, both ABIs present, a versionCode equal to
the one derived from the tag, and -- verified by pointing it at a
deliberately debug-signed build, which it refused -- **not signed with
the debug key**. Android refuses to update an app whose signing
certificate changed and the only remedy is an uninstall that takes the
user's library with it, so the job also refuses to *build* without the
keystore secret rather than falling through to Gradle's debug default.

The keystore is opened with `keytool -list` before Gradle runs, because
Gradle only notices a bad password at :app:validateSigningRelease, a
minute of build time in, and reports it as a missing file. And nothing
pipes into `head`: under pipefail it exits after one line, the producer
takes SIGPIPE and the step fails with 141 having already printed a
perfectly good APK.

Two secrets, not four. keytool has produced PKCS12 by default since
JDK 9 regardless of the .jks extension, and PKCS12 cannot hold a key
password distinct from the store password -- given one it says so and
ignores it. So ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD defaults to the store password and
the alias to a documented default.

The Wails CLI needs no caching hack here: it is a vendored `go tool`
and the runner already bind-mounts GOCACHE for every job, so it is warm
from ci.yml's own bindings-check. A fourth cache volume for
GRADLE_USER_HOME saves ~700MB a run.
2026-08-16 15:31:18 -04:00
logan 68468e5378 feat(dev): an Android failure looks exactly like a success
The APK installs and launches. It also dies six milliseconds later, and
finding that out cost a cycle for three reasons that have nothing to do
with the bug itself:

**Go's stdout does not reach logcat.** An Android app's fd 1 and 2 go
to /dev/null, so every slog line -- including the one naming the error
the app is about to exit on -- is discarded. `setprop
log.redirect-stdio true` does not help: that redirects the Java
runtime's System.out, and our code is a c-shared native library.

**os.Exit leaves no evidence.** No panic, no AndroidRuntime stack,
nothing in /data/tombstones, nothing in `logcat -b crash` or dropbox.
All three places anyone would look are empty, and the one signal that
is present -- "Zygote: exited due to signal 9" -- reads as "the system
killed it" and sends you after the low-memory killer.

**ActivityManager restarts it faster than you can observe.** pidof
always answers and `am start` always reports Status: ok, so a
crash-looping app looks alive. "Did it start" is the wrong question;
`make android-smoke` asks whether it is the *same pid* N seconds later,
and prints the filtered logcat plus how to read it when it is not.

The tell, once known: "I/WailsBridge: Wails bridge initialized"
followed immediately by a new pid doing the same thing.

scripts/android-emulator.sh follows dev-headless.sh's shape --
background start, saved-PID stop, filtered log tail, never pkill -f.
Two scaffold tasks are deliberately not wrapped: `android:logs` greps
logcat for (Wails|yellowjacket), which catches the WailsBridge tag but
misses the app's own process tag (app.yellowjacket is lowercase) and
misses ActivityManager's "has died" line, which is the one that says it
crashed; and `ensure-emulator` boots whatever `-list-avds | tail -1`
returns, with no pidfile and no boot wait, so it cannot be sequenced.

One environment note that is not obvious on Arch: Gradle needs a
platform and /opt/android-sdk has none, so ANDROID_SDK defaults to
~/Android/Sdk while ANDROID_NDK points at /opt/android-ndk. Two SDKs,
one for each half of the build.
2026-08-16 15:31:18 -04:00
logan 6fbb62730d fix(android): build a release APK that is releasable
Three edits to the scaffold, each of which the generated tree gets
wrong for a shipped app.

**The phone ABI got a debug library.** Upstream's `build` task forwards
ARCH to compile:go:shared but not PRODUCTION, so the arm64 leg
recomputed BUILD_FLAGS against an unset variable and took the debug
branch -- while amd64, which package:fat calls directly with
PRODUCTION: "true", was correct. A release APK therefore shipped a 40MB
unstripped debug library for the only ABI a release is for, beside a
31MB production one for the emulator. 34MB APK before, 27MB after.

**The APK could be installed once and never updated.** Android orders
releases by versionCode and refuses anything not greater than what is
installed; the scaffold hardcodes 1, so the first install would have
been the last and the only way out is an uninstall, which takes the
user's library with it. It comes from YJ_VERSION_CODE now, which CI
derives from the tag (1.3.1 -> 10301, monotonic while minor and patch
stay under 100), with a default that keeps a local build working.

Integer.parseInt, not `(...) as Integer`: Groovy binds the call
parentheses to versionCode before the cast, so the latter reads as
`versionCode("1") as Integer` -- it sets a String, then casts the
setter's null return, and Gradle fails the whole project with "Value is
null" pointing at that line.

**And it identified itself as com.wails.app.** applicationId is
app.yellowjacket now, matching build/config.yml's productIdentifier,
and the label is YellowJacket rather than "Wails App".

Two things follow from that rename and both bite:

The identity is declared twice. applicationId is what Gradle installs;
APP_ID in build/android/Taskfile.yml is what every adb-driven task
uninstalls, launches and filters, and nothing enforces agreement.
ANDROID.md says to set APP_ID in build/config.yml -- that does nothing
in beta.8, checked both ways: `wails3 task` builds its var set from CLI
KEY=VALUE arguments and the Taskfile tree and never reads config.yml,
and even when set it feeds only those adb commands, never Gradle.

And `namespace` deliberately stays com.wails.app, because that is the
Java package MainActivity and WailsBridge live in and renaming it means
renaming their source. So the launcher activity is
app.yellowjacket/com.wails.app.MainActivity, and the short
`.MainActivity` form resolves the dot against the applicationId and
fails with a class-not-found that reads like a broken build.
2026-08-16 15:30:35 -04:00
logan 48b37f6301 build(android): carry the Wails Android scaffolding verbatim
Plan 015 phase 0 established that this app cross-compiles for Android
with no source changes at all. A CGO_ENABLED=0 probe of the whole tree
for android/arm64 fails on exactly two packages -- ebitengine/oto/v3
and wails/v3/pkg/application -- and both fail only because their
Android implementation is cgo, which is what the NDK supplies. Notably
modernc.org/sqlite, the entire database layer and the thing most likely
to have no Android target, is clean. The fat APK (arm64-v8a + x86_64)
builds in about 25 seconds.

So build/android/ stops being ignored. This commit is the tree exactly
as `wails3 generate build-assets` emits it, so that the next commit is
a readable diff of what we changed and a future refresh has something
to compare against.

Two things about how it is carried:

`wails3 update build-assets` does NOT generate it, contrary to what
CLAUDE.md has claimed since the v3 migration. In beta.8 that command
extracts only internal/commands/updatable_build_assets, which is
darwin/ios/linux/windows; the android tree comes from `generate
build-assets`, which rewrites the whole of build/. It was generated
once into a scratch directory and copied across, so from here it is
committed and hand-edited like source. Only its output is ignored --
jniLibs (~60MB of per-ABI c-shared libraries), gen/, overlay.json and
Gradle's own directories.

And it brings one Go file into ./... -- scripts/deps/install_deps.go,
the interactive SDK installer behind `task android:install:deps`, which
trips 24 of our strict linters. golangci excludes the directory rather
than reformatting upstream's file, which the next refresh would undo
and which would make the diff against upstream unreadable. This repo
uses `make android-setup` instead.

The index job's /cache volume is a real YJ_HOME that outlives every
run, so plan 013's reshaped audio_files met a database still in the
old shape: `CREATE INDEX ... album_id` against a table without that
column, on every launch. "Delete and rescan" is the squash's answer
and is free everywhere except here, where half the file is the catalog
and deleting it costs ~205GB of downloading.

indexbuild now drops every table datamap does not classify as Cache
before the schema is applied. Nothing scans, plays or authors in that
database, so its non-catalog half is empty by construction and a shape
the schema stopped describing is pure liability; the catalog is never
touched.

TestRetireLibraryTables reproduces the failure symptom-first: build
the real schema, put audio_files back the way the volume had it,
assert the open fails, then assert the repair makes it open with the
catalog row still there.

logan b98840ee37 fix(build): keep the index tools free of the Wails application
The v3 migration put application.Get() in backend/events and a
ServiceStartup hook in backend/explore, both of which cmd/indexbuild
reaches. v3's application package is GTK/WebKit bindings on Linux, so
the index-artifact job — a plain golang container with CGO_ENABLED=0,
on the stated grounds that neither command imports the app — stopped
compiling with "undefined: pointer". That job owns the ~205 GB dump
checkpoint, so it is the worst place to learn this.

Both are behind the indexbuild tag now: the one app.Event.Emit lives in
runtime_wails.go, runtime_indexbuild.go answers ErrNoRuntime (what the
app itself returns before Run, so Deliver's callers need no second
path), and explore's ServiceStartup moves to its own tagged file.

TestIndexToolsDoNotImportWails walks `go list -deps -tags indexbuild`
so the claim the workflow makes is checked rather than assumed.

21 conflicts, all from the same cause: three features were developed on
both lines and this branch's copies are the ones adapted to v3's
bindings and to the file-shaped schema. Resolutions:

- `frontend/wailsjs/` stays deleted — v2's generated bindings, replaced
  by `frontend/bindings/`.
- remove-from-library, `library-status.ts`, the requested-badge spec and
  its component test: took this branch's copies, which differ from
  main's only in calling `pruneEmptyEntities`/`CountAudioFiles`,
  importing `@go/download/models.js`, and staging a real UUID for the
  catalog's `CHECK(length(mbid) = 16)`.
- `GetFilePathsByRecordingMBIDsByLibrary` dropped: it joined
  `recordings`, which no longer exists, and `library_id = 0` answers
  both scoped and unscoped now. `GetAudioFilesByPaths` was already here.
- The album page, the artist page and the library badge kept this
  branch's versions, which supersede main's: ownership asked once from
  the files, the partial-completeness ring, and the request action.
- Docs: no migration chain (013) over main's two-file column rule and
  its pre-1.0 squashing note, both of which 013 retired. Kept main's
  `CreateSmartPlaylist` read-pool example, which is a real second
  instance of that bug.

Verified on the merge result, not on either parent: lint clean in all
three build configurations, `make test` green in all three, 776 Vitest
tests, `tsc --noEmit`, bindings-check and skill-check clean.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 e7748f1fd5 feat(database): shape the library like files, and shrink the catalog
CI / check (push) Successful in 3m7s
CI / e2e (push) Canceled after 1m45s
Plans 013 and 014, the album page that prompted them, and the smaller
fixes they turned up. Changelog, largest first.

## The local library is shaped like files, not like MusicBrainz

`audio_files` carries its own tags and points at `albums` and
`artists`; `file_genres` is the one real many-to-many. `recordings`,
`release_group_recordings`, `artist_credit`, `artist_credit_artist`,
`recording_genres`, `release_groups` and `release_to_rg` are gone from
the local side, and with them a six-way join in every read, a
`MIN(release_group_id)` subquery in eleven queries and a
first-credited-artist subquery in nine. Measured on a real 25,966-file
library, every many-to-many that model expressed was 1:1 in the data.

- Ownership is a file. `GetFilePathsByRecordingMBIDs`,
  `LibraryMBIDIndex.CheckMBIDs`, `collectLibraryEntities` and
  `pruneStaleLocalCrossReferences` all join `audio_files`, so the 812
  orphaned recordings, 216 release groups and 260 artists that library
  carried are now structurally impossible.
- One projection: every track query selects from the `track_metadata`
  view, one row type, one mapper. Nine hand-rolled copies had drifted
  far enough to report different years on different screens.
- `library_id = 0` means every library, so each list query exists once
  instead of scoped and unscoped with a branch at every call site.
- No migration chain. `sql/schemas/` is the one description of the
  shape; `sql/migrations/`, `applyMigrations` and `schema_migrations`
  are squashed away, along with the drift between them that had sqlc
  generating against a stale schema.
- `database.InsertTestTrack` is the one test seeder; twenty test files
  had been assembling the old FK chain each in its own order.

## The catalog stores its ids as bytes

`explore_index`'s three 36-char MBID columns and its entity-type text
are 16 raw bytes and a small integer. The table and its six indexes go
780 MB to 405 MB on a real 2,052,200-row catalog, which is why a fresh
install is ~0.6 GB rather than ~1.0 GB.

- `backend/explore/mbid.go` is the only place the encoding is known;
  everything above it speaks dashed strings.
- `CHECK(length(mbid) = 16)` makes a stringly write fail at the insert
  rather than silently returning no rows, since SQLite does not coerce
  between TEXT and BLOB.
- The importer asks the artifact what encoding it carries and converts
  on the way in, so the artifact already published keeps working and no
  format bump is needed.
- `indexRowColumns`/`scanIndexRow` replace four copies of a 22-column
  list, and `TestStoredEncodingRoundTrips` sweeps every read path.

## An album page that says how much of the album is yours

- One question, asked once: is there a file. `filePaths` is filled by a
  single batched lookup when the tracklist settles, and the badge, the
  Play count, the dimmed rows and every menu item read it — replacing
  four claims of decreasing confidence that could show a green tick on
  an album whose every action did nothing.
- Play, Play 7 of 12, or no play button at all.
- `total_tracks` on `explore_index` (~2 bytes over 400,677 release
  groups) and on `audio_files` from tags that have always carried it:
  a complete MBID-matched album now makes no catalog call at all, where
  it used to spend the most expensive request the app makes.
- A merged cluster shows the running order the most releases agree on,
  and the version list marks the release you own rather than standing a
  synthetic entry in for it.
- `AlbumReleasesFailed`: a slow fetch is no longer reported as a failed
  one by a 12-second timer.
- Rows not in the library are dimmed in place (with `aria-disabled`)
  instead of the owned ones wearing a green tick and a legend.

## Caches and cover art get ceilings

- Only the three tiers of a cover are stored; the full-resolution copy
  nothing rendered was 1,134 MB of a 1.4 GB covers directory.
- One artist portrait is downloaded and the rest are remembered as
  URLs — 4.1 GB of a 5.3 GB cache was candidates no code path reads.
- `browsedArtBudget` and `httpCacheBudget` bound what an age cannot:
  the same install held art for 5,770 artists in a 1,301-artist
  library.
- `OrphanedArtistImagesJob` joined a bare MBID onto a sharded
  directory, so it deleted the rows that were the only record of the
  files it left behind. `explore.ArtistImageDir` is that layout's one
  definition now.

## The autotag queue asks whether there is work

`tagging_items` was a row per album folder, not a queue, and no query
read the `tag_status` column that held the answer. The four queue
queries ask the files, which matters most where it is least visible:
`startPrefetch` was scoring every album in a tagged library against
MusicBrainz.

## Phantom playlist tracks resolve in place

An M3U8 imported before its files leaves phantom rows; they now match
by path and fall back to position, keep their place in the playlist
when resolved, and pair best-first so two phantoms cannot claim the
same file.

## Playing a track plays the list it is in

Double-click, and Play on a single row's menu, queue the list as
displayed with `startIndex` on that row — the album page and the track
list used to queue one track and discard the album around it. A
multi-row selection still plays exactly itself.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 1128881e8d docs(wails): move the prose onto v3 and record Phase 7
CI / check (push) Successful in 4m49s
CI / e2e (push) Successful in 6m8s
CLAUDE.md gains a Packaging section for the four Taskfile facts the
recipes just needed — wails3 on PATH by bare name, no -ldflags on
`wails3 build`, bin/ not build/bin/, and bundling as its own step —
plus how build/'s platform metadata generates from build/config.yml and
what that refresh overwrites.

Its lifecycle, bindings, harness, events and CI sections were still
describing v2. The events one matters most: the rule to emit through
events.Emit survives, but its justification is now the weaker one, and
saying so is the point of the migration. v2's runtime.EventsEmit
log.Fatalf'd on any context not carrying the runtime; v3's emit takes
no context at all, so what is left to pin is that one emit path is what
lets emitStatus drop an unchanged payload for every caller at once.

README told a contributor to `go install wails/v2/cmd/wails` and
apt-get libgtk-3-dev/libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev; the CLI is vendored and the
stack is GTK4 + WebKitGTK 6.0. Two comments claiming Xvfb and one
claiming frontend/wailsjs go with them.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 cad3d1339b fix(packaging): put the release recipes on v3's build
Neither packaging/arch/PKGBUILD nor the Homebrew formula had been run
since Phase 1, and both were still calling v2's CLI: `wails3 build`
takes -tags, -obfuscated and -garbleargs and nothing else, so
`-clean -trimpath -ldflags` fails at the flag parser. Both also
installed from build/bin/, which is v2's output path — v3 writes to
bin/, and build/ is tracked build assets now.

Three more things the tree needs that neither recipe had. The tasks
invoke `wails3` by bare name, so scripts/toolbin has to be on PATH or
the build dies at its first sub-task. `wails3 build` has no -ldflags at
all, and build:native computes BUILD_FLAGS in its own vars: so a CLI
variable cannot override it — LDFLAGS_EXTRA is appended inside the
production -ldflags string instead, on linux and darwin alike, empty by
default so make build-dev/build-prod are unchanged. And bundling is a
separate step from building: `task build` produces a bare binary on
both platforms, so the formula's macOS path runs `task package`.

The build assets were the scaffold's, not this app's. Info.plist named
CFBundleExecutable `yjref` and com.example.yjref, nfpm packaged
./bin/yjref, the .desktop template said "A yjref application" — an .app
built from that plist would not have launched. They generate from
build/config.yml, whose info block had never been filled from
wails.json either; `wails3 task common:update:build-assets` is the fix.
nfpm's homepage and license are not derived from it and are set by
hand, which is noted in place, and the refresh regenerates build/ios
and build/android, which this repo does not carry.

arch-package.yml's pacman list moves to webkitgtk-6.0/gtk4 to match the
PKGBUILD's depends(): makepkg installs nothing itself, so a mismatch
fails at link time rather than at check time.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 453d5df0da fix(build): put wails3 on PATH for the Taskfile supervisors
`make sandbox`, `make dev`, `make build-dev` and `make build-prod` all
died with "/bin/sh: wails3: command not found". `wails3 dev` and
`wails3 task` are supervisors: they run the scaffold's Taskfile tree,
which invokes `wails3` by bare name in 54 places across four files. The
CLI is a vendored Go tool by design (plan 009, D3 — a global install
would be this build's first undeclared dependency), so that name did
not exist.

scripts/toolbin/wails3 execs `go tool wails3`, and the Makefile
prepends that directory only for the targets that start a supervisor.
Rewriting 54 scaffold call sites would be churn to redo on every
scaffold refresh; nothing global is installed either way.

The shim does not cd. The first version did, to be sure `go tool` found
the module — it does not need to — and that silently discarded the
`dir:` a task had set, so generate:icons failed with "open
appicon.png: no such file or directory" against a file that was there.

Three things the build path needed once it got that far:

- `frontend/package.json` gains `build:dev`, which build:frontend runs
  under DEV=true and which did not exist.
- Vite binds 127.0.0.1. It defaulted to `localhost`, which resolves to
  `[::1]` only here, while wails3 dev's asset proxy dials IPv4 — so the
  first request for the dev server was refused and the first paint
  raced a retry. Zero proxy errors after.
- The icons and the .desktop file are generated on every build.
  icons.icns/icon.ico are deterministic from our appicon.png (verified
  by regenerating), so the regenerated pair is committed and the churn
  ends; .task/ and the .desktop file are ignored.

Also corrects a claim: build-prod strips and trims but does **not**
UPX-compress — that was v2's `-upx` flag. Phase 1 recorded UPX as
still working, but neither build target had been run.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 deb3f3da7e feat(wails): move the e2e harness and headless launch onto v3
make e2e is green on chromium: 92 passed. The harness is rebuilt on
what v3 actually offers, and three of the four things it replaced turn
out to be better than what they replaced.

The headless launch is v3's own server mode. scripts/dev-headless.sh
ran a `-tags dev` binary whose app_dev.go parsed -devserver/-assetdir
out of os.Args; that file went with v2, so the harness had no server at
all. `-tags dev,server` is a first-class mode and needs no display, so
Xvfb is gone from the script and from CI.

The bridge hooks two places, neither of them EventsOn. Inbound is
window._wails.dispatchWailsEvent, wrapped by pre-creating the object
the runtime keeps and putting an accessor on the one property.
Outbound is fetch: v3 routes every runtime call through one POST, so
the bridge sees binding calls and event emits from any module, needs no
walk of an object graph, and cannot miss a call made before it looked.

__yjEvents.call posts to that endpoint by method name, so it depends on
nothing in the app's bundle and works on a page with no init script.
That is what lets seed-sandbox.sh drop playwright-cli entirely — it
drove AddLibrary through a browser only because window.go was v2's one
way in — and with it a global npm install and a second Chromium in CI.

measure.mjs and one spec lose their window.go walks and read the
bridge's log instead; e2e/support/method-ids.mjs derives id -> name
from frontend/bindings/ (phase 6b option 1, so it cannot go stale
silently). Plain .mjs because measure.mjs runs under bare node and one
derivation beats two that can disagree.

Four bugs surfaced, and the migration is how.

The cross-service wiring never ran headless. It hung off
Common.ApplicationStarted, which server mode never emits —
setupCommonEvents is an explicit no-op there — so the queue had no
TrackLoader and playing a track changed the queue and then silently did
nothing. It is a service registered last now (backend/startup.go):
services start in registration order, which is the ordering the wiring
needs, in every mode.

Six specs called SetQueue with 3 of its 4 arguments. v2 accepted that
and filled the gap; v3 answers "expects 4 arguments, got 3".

requested-badge's cleanup read window.go and returned early on
`if (!svc)` — the silent cleanup its own comment was written to
prevent, one migration later. It posts to the runtime endpoint now,
which any page can do.

SearchIndex.Search trusted a startup latch, so rows a spec staged
afterwards were unsearchable and three specs passed only when an
earlier one happened to flip it. shelves.go fixed exactly this and left
hasCatalogRows behind; the search path now uses it as the fallback,
with the latch still the fast path.

Two spec edits are deletions of assertions about v2. harness.spec
checked Object.keys(window.go) and that a bad call *hung*; it now
checks the real runtime is loaded and that the backend rejects with a
TypeError naming the argument. album-actions asserted a tracklist
legend that dcc40b1 deleted on main — that spec has been failing since,
and what replaced it is covered in frontend/test/components.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 a4ada725a2 feat(wails): rebuild the Vitest fake on v3's transport seam
v2 installed two globals and the fake replaced both. v3 has neither —
the runtime is an npm module and the generated bindings call into it.
What it has instead is better: setTransport() is a public seam for
replacing the IPC transport, and *every* runtime call goes through it,
so the fake is smaller than v2's and covers strictly more.

The event dispatcher is no longer mirrored at all. v2's fake
reimplemented desktop/events.js — the listener list, maxCallbacks
expiry, the reverse iteration — because there was no way to reach the
real one; emit() now goes through window._wails.dispatchWailsEvent,
which is the entry point the backend's own push uses. What is mirrored
instead is one line of Go: how EventManager.Emit packs variadic data
into an event's single data field. Registration and unregistration are
the public Events API. The one non-public thing left is the listener
registry, aliased in vitest.config.mts and used only by
listenerNames() — a test asks whether importing a store subscribed it,
which nothing public can answer.

A binding carries a method ID, not a name, so the fake derives the
ID -> path map from the generated tree: FNV-1a over the FQN, with the
Go type's casing recovered from each package's index.ts, which is the
only place it survives (library/library.ts cannot tell you it is
FrontendUtil). The map has to be complete rather than lazy because 21
assertions read calls() with no argument and compare the whole list.

Two things had to move that are not the fake.

fixture() drains microtasks between two renders: a v3 binding settles
several hops later than v2's, and tests were already written as though
fixture() meant "mounted and loaded". Microtasks and not a timer,
which would hang under the suites that install fake ones.

tracklist-store keeps its defaults on an empty answer instead of
emptying the column list. GetTrackListColumns substitutes
DefaultColumns only when the whole config section is missing; a section
that exists with no columns returns nothing. Until now this was
accidental — the binding was typed Column[], an absent answer arrived
as undefined, and .map threw into the catch.

757 tests pass across all 63 files. They are run in batches: a single
browser session dies partway through the 58 it queues, which reproduces
unchanged at the pre-migration commit and is a resource limit on this
machine rather than anything here.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 162c68769f feat(wails): move the frontend onto v3's generated bindings
frontend/wailsjs/ is deleted and frontend/bindings/ takes its place —
a real TypeScript module tree nested by Go import path, generated by
wails3's static analyser rather than by building the app and running
it.  The @go alias absorbs the constant prefix, so a call site imports
'@go/library/library.js' and the codemod over all 93 sites was a
specifier rewrite plus splitting @go/models' namespaces into one
import per package.

The 12 SetContext bindings and the fake `context` model are gone, as
Phase 2's ServiceStartup port promised: 272 methods across 12
services, none of them plumbing.

@runtime/runtime is now a local shim (src/wails/runtime.ts) over
@wailsio/runtime, so the 22 EventsOn imports are untouched.  It
unwraps v3's WailsEvent into v2's callback shape, which is exact here:
nothing in backend/events passes more than one data argument, and v3
only packs arguments into a slice when there is more than one.

v3 tells the truth about two things v2 lied about, and that is most of
the diff.  A Go nil slice really does arrive as JSON null, and a Go
named string type really is an enum; v2 typed them as T[] and string.
utils/binding.ts states the app's actual contract — an absent list is
an empty list — once, at the boundary where it is true, and also drops
the CancellablePromise the app never cancels.  Four test fixtures
widen an enum field back to its value union.

Not done, and Phase 5's to fix: frontend/test/support/wails-fake.ts
still fakes window.go, which v3 does not have, so `make ui-test` is
broken and harness.test.ts fails to compile on EventsEmit.  That test
also asserts v2 ordering that no longer holds — v3's Events.Emit calls
the backend and does not notify in-page listeners at all.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 c9905fbcff docs: drop the webkit2_41 tag from the commands agents run
The commit before this removed the tag from the Makefile, lefthook,
both packaging recipes and CI, but left it in CLAUDE.md's "Running
tests" section and the yellowjacket-dev skill — which are the copies a
coding agent actually runs, so a stale tag there is worse than one in
prose. skill-check does not catch this: it verifies that documented
make targets exist, not that documented go commands do.

The historical mentions in .planning/ and .pi/journal.md are left
alone; they are records of what was true then.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 4471db3aef feat(wails): move the Go side to v3
Phases 2 and 3 of plan 009, plus the parts of phase 1 that could not
land before them. Nothing in the tree imports wails/v2 any more; all
three lint and test configurations are green and `go build .` produces
a running binary.

The point of the migration is one file. backend/events/emit.go probed
ctx.Value("events") — a v2-*private* context key — to decide whether
emitting was safe, because runtime.EventsEmit called log.Fatalf on a
context without the runtime and took the process down with it. v3's
emit takes no context, so that is now application.Get() == nil. D1
held: events.Emit keeps its ctx as the WithSink test seam, and all 45
call sites and 7 test files are untouched.

The bootstrap splits into application.New + Window.NewWithOptions +
Run. Ten bound services implement ServiceStartup instead of being
handed a context by hand from OnStartup, which also stops ten
SetContext methods being exported as bindings. jobs.Registry and
explore.SearchIndex keep theirs — neither is bound, so converting them
would be churn for no binding removed.

Four things differed from the plan and are written up in it: GPU policy
moved to the per-window LinuxWindow options rather than surviving on
LinuxOptions; there is no OnStartup/OnDomReady option, so app-level
wiring hangs off ApplicationStarted; application.NewService is generic,
so FEBindings []any could not survive (the binding generator is a
static analyser and would have seen nothing); and the quit veto had to
be restructured, because v3's dialog answers on a callback rather than
returning the button, so ShouldQuit vetoes, asks, and quits again from
the callback.

Window state saving moves to a WindowClosing hook — the size has to be
read while the window still exists, and v3's OnShutdown has neither
context nor window. backend/logging is deleted rather than ported:
v3 takes a *slog.Logger directly, so the v2 logger.Logger adapter had
no caller left.

Phase 1's tail rides along, now that it can: the Makefile's wails
invocations, all 50 webkit2_41 sites, lefthook, both packaging recipes
and ci.yml's apt lists. v3 builds against GTK4 + WebKitGTK 6.0, which
Arch and ubuntu:24.04 both ship, so the tag is a deletion rather than
a translation.

Phase 4 is next and the branch is not usable until it lands: the app
builds, but frontend/wailsjs/ is v2's tree and nothing regenerates it,
so the frontend cannot reach the backend yet.

The plan assumed build/ was free and that GTK4 was a preference. It
was not free — this repo used it as ignored build output — and GTK4 is
not available on the dev machine, which breaks `go tool wails3`
outright rather than merely changing which webkit is linked.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 e7873bded3 build(wails): add the v3 toolchain alongside v2
Phase 1 of plan 009. The app still builds and runs on v2 — nothing in
main.go or backend/ has moved yet — but the v3 CLI, its pinned runtime
and its build-asset tree are now present, which is what Phase 2 needs.

- wails/v3 v3.0.0-beta.8 pinned per D5, and wails3 added to the `tool`
  block beside the v2 CLI per D3. Both are vendored; neither is a
  global install.
- build/ now holds the v3 build assets, copied wholesale from a
  `wails3 init` scaffold rather than hand-written. That collides with
  this repo's existing use of build/ as ignored build *output*, so
  .gitignore narrows to build/bin/ and bin/ and the assets are tracked.
  The mobile platforms are not carried: this is a desktop player
  (MPRIS over D-Bus, beep, XDG paths) and cannot target them.
- build/config.yml's info block is filled from wails.json, which stays
  for now because the v2 CLI still reads it.
- Taskfile.yml defaults PACKAGE_MANAGER to pnpm, since the scaffold
  assumes npm and frontend/package.json.md5 is part of the dep-caching
  scheme.

One deviation from the plan worth recording. webkitgtk-6.0 is not
installed on this machine, so the default GTK4 path is unavailable and
the gtk3 fallback is in use. That also means `go tool wails3` does not
work — the CLI itself fails to compile without webkitgtk-6.0 — while
`go run -tags gtk3 .../cmd/wails3` does. The Makefile rewrite in the
next commit has to account for that, and it goes away once the GTK4
dependency is installed.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 edb13a6f39 perf(explore): ask the disk once, prefetch once, and menu the releases
Three things on the Explore surfaces, all about not asking twice.

A portrait already on disk costs no network call. explore-view seeded
only from the library store — owned artists, which on a catalog search
is nearly none of the results — and sent everything else to
GetArtistImageURL, the resolving entry point, one await at a time.
GetArtistImagesCachedPaths asks the disk about every unresolved artist
in one call, and only what it does not answer reaches the resolver,
in parallel.

The artist page's two sections both wanted PrefetchReleases and each
called it, so the most expensive call the app makes was issued twice
for an overlapping set on a 1 req/s limiter. They are collected and
sent once on a microtask, and prefetchRequested stops the cold-artist
refetch re-asking for what it already asked for.

The release cards — most of the artist page — had no context menu at
all. They have one now on both release shapes, normalised to a
ReleaseMenuTarget when the menu opens so the union does not reach the
action handlers. It is a discriminated union rather than one nullable
field per kind because the panel is shared with the track menu: that is
what keeps aria-label moving with the target, which is the fault
cover-grid shipped. Which items appear is three different questions —
playback is gated on a local album id, not on "owned", and the request
needs a catalog MBID, so it is absent for a library-only release.

Note on the docs: the CLAUDE.md and NOTES.md prose here was
reconstructed after a mishandled `git stash --keep-index` destroyed the
uncommitted originals. One NOTES.md section is marked as incomplete
where its text could not be recovered.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 20fbf28f2a perf(explore): make the owned-artist backfill yield, mark, and stop
The post-scan backfills share MusicBrainz's rate limiters with every
page the user can open, and both were FIFO — so a thousand-artist
enrichment put an album page behind an hour of queued work.
WithBackgroundLane/WithBackgroundPriority add a slower second lane: a
marked wait takes no token while any interactive wait is outstanding.
It is a context marker rather than a parameter because a backfill calls
the same client methods a detail page does. A long backfill also has to
be visible and stoppable, so jobs.KindCatalogEnrich registers both with
progress and cancel — after the work is counted, since these passes are
a no-op on every launch once the library is covered.

What it does not fetch is the point. It ran for hours against a
900-artist library and marked nothing, because three of the four things
it did per artist were work nobody asked for: similar artists, which
the artist page already resolves on view, and a full GetArtistImage
(fanart.tv, TheAudioDB, Wikidata, Wikipedia, ten portraits) reached
only to warm the MB artist lookup EnsureArtistRels does alone. It was
also serial across artists while every limiter is per-host and idle.

The marks are a table rather than more explore_index columns, because
artifactimport merges by column list and a flag added there is a second
place to remember. BrowseReleaseGroupsAll pages to exhaustion, where
the old call silently cut a prolific artist at 100 release groups.

One portrait is downloaded now; the rest are remembered as URLs.
resolveAllSources downloaded every candidate, up to ten, full size,
while nothing reads anything but primary.jpg — 5.3 GB measured on a
real cache, 4.1 GB of it unreachable. OrphanedArtistImagesJob is why
that survived: it joined the bare MBID onto the images directory, but
artist directories are sharded under a two-character prefix, so it
named a path that never existed and deleted the rows that were the only
record of the files it left behind.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 878cf4b561 fix(playback): submit a durability write, do not perform it
Every write goes through one connection — MaxOpenConns(1), because
SQLite has one writer — and a background pass can hold it for a long
time. The player and the queue wrote inline from paths that hold their
own mutexes, so a contended writer did not merely slow persistence
down: SetQueue blocked in LoadFile's saveState and then in
persistState, while holding q.mu and p.mu.

That is the exact shape of the report: the track changed and the
transport sat at paused, nothing appeared in the queue, and the play
button did nothing because Queue.Play waited on the same held q.mu.
Diagnosed by profiling the running app — 91% of its CPU was
BackfillLibraryDiscographies → upsertBatch, with four of its six
workers parked in sql.(*DB).conn.

Jobs now run in submission order on one goroutine per component, each
carrying its own snapshot. A job must not touch the component's fields
— it holds no lock and the state has moved on — which is why
persistTracks clones. SaveState still flushes and waits, because that
is the one caller for which the row has to exist on return.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 dc890d1fcc 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.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 dcc40b1781 feat(albums): get an album's track total from the files, not the catalog
The album page asked MusicBrainz how many tracks an album has, because
the only total it had was the length of the tracklist it was already
showing — a tautology for a library copy. The denominator was on disk
all along: metadata has read the "5/12" totals off every file since
forever and discarded them. They persist to
release_group_recordings.total_tracks now, and a complete, MBID-matched
album makes no catalog call at all.

Around that:

- AlbumReleasesFailed, so a slow browse is no longer reported as a
  failed one. The page inferred failure from a 12s deadline, against a
  browse queued behind up to eight prefetches on a 1 req/s limiter.
- Tracks not in the library are dimmed in place rather than the owned
  ones carrying a green tick, which is also what let the "loading
  catalog" banner go.
- A partly-owned album draws the release, not the part, so the missing
  tracks are visible and Play can say "9 of 12" truthfully.
- The version dropdown appears only when tracklists actually differ,
  and the version you own is marked by name instead of being replaced
  by a synthetic "Your Library" entry.
- A merged cluster shows the running order the most releases agree on,
  not whichever pressing the browse returned first — which is what made
  a correctly matched album claim it was unlinked from MusicBrainz.

Also carries in-progress work from earlier sessions that shared these
files: the queue source link, autotag mixed-bag grouping, the mix
feature and its schema, and the config general page.

Committed with --no-verify: every pre-commit check was run by hand and
passed, but bindings-check refuses to run while frontend/wailsjs is
dirty and counts *staged* as dirty, so it cannot pass on any commit
that updates the bindings. Verified separately by regenerating and
diffing against the staged content.

logan 4801ba4480 docs: close plan 009, and what a decision phase found
Two of Phase 2's three judgement calls were answered by reading the
code rather than by choosing: there is no artist badge to make a
button, and a track badge stops reading as noise the moment it means
something. The third went the other way — `EntityRecording` reads like
a placeholder and is real work.
2026-08-13 15:18:17 -04:00
logan 40bc968cf8 test(e2e): a real click on the badge acts without opening the card
Only this tier can say it: the badge sits inside a card whose own click
navigates, so what matters is that a real gesture files the request
*and* leaves the page where it was.

It clicks a locator rather than a measured point. The first version
read a bounding box the moment the search settled, but cover art is
still arriving then and a card that grows moves the badge — so the
click landed on the card and opened the album, which is precisely the
regression the test exists to catch, reported as a failure to file a
request.

The phase 1 label assertion moves with the component: a control is
named after what activating it does, so the badge that said "is queued
for download" now says "Cancel the request for …".
2026-08-13 15:17:14 -04:00
logan e61b7456df feat(explore): make the library badge request what it is on
007 turned this badge from a `<button>` whose handler was a
`stopPropagation()` and a TODO into `role="img"`, on the rule that a
control which cannot act is worse than none — and wrote down what would
change the answer: a `<button>` again *with* a handler, never a handler
bolted onto something already shaped like one. This is that.

A call site opts in by passing `request-mbid`, so where a badge is
redundant it stays a badge: `explore-album-details`'s header has "Want
this" in words directly below it, and its template says so by not
opting in. An `in-library` badge is never a button either, because
there is nothing left to ask for — that is what keeps the tab stops 007
gave back from being spent on nothing.

The copy is the action, not the state, and it is deliberately about the
request list rather than the library: "Want album X" / "Cancel the
request for album X". Clicking still adds nothing to the library, which
is what made the original "Add … to library" a promise the control
could not keep.

Tracks are requestable too. `EntityRecording` is not a placeholder in
the request model — `Reconciler.tracklistFor` has a deliberate branch
for it, because one expected title is what lets filename matching score
a single-track download at all. Artists are not: there is no artist
badge anywhere, and a discography subscription belongs on the Follow
button that can say what it commits to.

The click is swallowed again, for the opposite reason to before: with
an action of its own, a click on the badge no longer means what the
card means. Enter and Space are stopped for the same reason — every
card holding one is a role=button or role=option with its own handler.

The plan's own framing was wrong in a way worth keeping: the badge was
not waiting on the download client, which had largely landed already —
it was waiting on somebody looking at a state nothing produced.
2026-08-13 14:14:39 -04:00
logan 48f7795687 test(e2e): pin the requested badge and the state it renders in
Two assertions, and the second is why this is at this tier at all.
Reaching the requested state is the only way to render the requested
icon, so the sweep that already asserts `__yjIconMisses` is empty can
finally see a name computed from state.

Both were watched failing on the pre-fix build by neutering one line
each: the badge reported `not-in-library` where `queued` was expected,
and the sweep returned `["bookmark-check"]`.

The spec gives back what it spends — the request is dropped in
`afterAll`, and cleared in `beforeAll` too, since a run that dies
between the two would otherwise fail the next one. That cleanup uses
the raw binding rather than `callBinding`: a bare `browser.newPage()`
has no init script, so the event bridge is undefined and the first
version threw where nobody was looking.

Its 60 s search budget is not paranoia either. A freshly launched app
spends ~40 s merging the core catalog artifact and Explore's search
returns nothing until it lands, including for rows staged directly
into `explore_index`.
2026-08-13 14:13:46 -04:00
logan c400f681c2 fix(icons): the "Wanted" button asked for a Pro icon
`bookmark-check` is Font Awesome **Pro**, so it was never bundled and
`window.__yjIconMisses` has held it for as long as anything could be
requested — the button rendered the missing-icon fallback in the one
state it exists to show.

`offline-icons.spec.ts` asserts that array is empty and passed anyway:
no spec had ever put the app in a state where an album is requested. A
name computed from state is only checkable from that state, which is
the case `names.txt` exists for.

Outline and solid of the same Free glyph carry the toggle instead,
which is what the vendoring script tells you to do when a name is
missing: pick one that is Free, never reach for the Pro file.
2026-08-13 14:13:38 -04:00
logan 451b46e63c fix(explore): show a requested album as queued, not absent
`library-status-indicator` has had three states since it was written
and produced two: all eight call sites were a two-way ternary between
`in-library` and `not-in-library`, so the `queued` state it styles and
labels was unreachable.

The result was the app contradicting itself on one page. An album added
to the request list showed a plus and announced "is not in your
library", forty pixels from a filled button reading "Wanted".

The rule was written at eight places, which is why none of them had all
of it, so it is `utils/library-status.ts` now: owning outranks wanting,
a satisfied request is not queued, and a request is by MBID — a track
inside a requested album is not itself requested and still says so.

`explore-view` gains the `downloadStore` subscription both detail views
already had, registered `whileActive` because it is a cached view that
never unmounts. `top-results-row` needs its own: its host re-rendering
sets the same `results` array back, so Lit stops at the property and
the row never hears about a change.

Plan 008 is complete and moves to completed/. The two findings worth
carrying forward are that a new table needs one schema file rather than
two (and a datamap entry, which is a gate nobody remembers), and that
excluding a path has to reach every place that counts what is in the
library — the soft scan's disk-vs-database comparison above all, which
would otherwise have rescanned the whole library on every launch with
nothing failing anywhere.

The binding has been in the defaults and in Settings since it was
written, with nothing on the other end of it, because "remove from
library" did not exist. It does now — and Delete only *opens* the
dialog, never performs the removal, which is the only version
defensible one keystroke from a focused row.

The e2e case asserts the two things that matter and neither is the row
count: the file is still on disk, and a real scan of the real directory
does not bring the row back. It watches a control path survive the same
scan, because a guard that excluded everything would pass the negative
assertion for free — and it restores the database it spends.
2026-08-13 13:28:38 -04:00
logan 6d97e3c872 feat(tracks): remove from library behind a confirmation
The context menu's one destructive command. Its impact line says the
files are not deleted, because a user who reads "remove" as "delete"
and finds their music gone was failed by the copy rather than by the
operation.

The store patches rather than invalidates: the event carries the paths,
so the tracks array — the expensive collection — is spliced in place
and only the album/artist/genre summaries, whose counts really did
change, are refetched. It falls back to a full invalidate when a tracks
fetch is already in flight, which is the one case a patch cannot be
shown to be equivalent to.

Deleting an audio_files row cascades to queue_tracks, so the removal
also compacts the queue — the same reload RemoveLibrary does, which
unloads the player if the removed track was the one playing.
2026-08-13 13:11:31 -04:00
logan acbe7c4676 feat(library): remove tracks from the library without touching the file
"Remove from library" deletes the audio_files row and records the path
as excluded, so the next scan does not import it again. Without the
exclusion the operation undoes itself on the next scan, which is worse
than not having it at all; the file on disk is never touched, which is
the promise the confirmation copy will make.

The soft scan compares the number of audio files on disk against the
number of rows, so both walks now skip excluded paths — otherwise the
two counts disagree forever and every launch queues a full scan of the
whole library. A full rescan clears the exclusions, which is the only
way back for a path removed by mistake until there is a UI for it.

Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 6s
CI / e2e (push) Successful in 6m20s
Phase 3 shipped in six landings and a11y.md is closed, which closes all
four audits from 2026-08-11.

The pass's one lesson is that an accessible name is computed on the
element carrying the role, and every tier we check with looks somewhere
else: the audit read the source and credited a name that was never
computed, an AX sweep read the tree and reported a placeholder-only box
as clean, and a component test asserted the attribute and pinned the
bug it existed to prevent.

Six of the audit's claims turned out to be wrong or smaller than
written, and one of the plan's own findings was false — the page
header's sort control is named on all nine views. All of them are
written down, which is where a third of the value of the last two plans
came from.
2026-08-13 02:32:33 -04:00
logan f1c46b6a8e fix(a11y): label Explore's search box with more than a placeholder
a11y.26, the half of it that was still open — `search-bar` gained a
computed aria-label some phases ago and this one did not.

It is why the finding survived: a placeholder *is* an accname fallback,
so the box was never unnamed and a sweep of the accessibility tree
reported the whole view clean. It is a weak name all the same, since it
disappears the moment anyone types, and it is the only thing that
distinguishes catalog search from lyric search.
