logan d365850321 test(ui): refresh two stale baselines and settle whether they gate
`make ui-visual` had been red on main since #27, and nothing runs it,
so four references had drifted across three unrelated merges. Two were
refreshed with #186; these are the other two.

Each recorded two changes, not one. `app-sidebar` lost Jobs (#27,
shipped) and moved its highlight from Home to Tracks; `now-playing`
gained the source line (shipped) and was playing from "a dynamic mix".
Both are singleton stores read by a case that sets nothing, so the shot
photographs whatever the case above it left behind — blessing that
would have pinned the file's own ordering into a PNG. Both cases state
their world now, and only then are the references re-recorded.

The second half of the issue asks whether this tier should gate, and
the answer is measured rather than preferred: replayed in a bare
ubuntu:24.04 container — CI's `check` image — three of the ten
baselines fail on rendering alone (`track-info` and one `page-header`
shot at ratio 0.03 against a 0.02 allowance, `seek-bar` one pixel
shorter), and the two stale ones disagree about their new height
between the machines. So CI cannot run this suite without a second,
container-recorded baseline set that every local run would then fail
against, and a pre-push hook is the same fault with the machines
swapped. It stays local and opt-in; what replaces the gate is the rule
that a change moving a component's geometry refreshes that component's
baseline in the same commit, having read the image, and never one it
did not cause. Written where a person meets it: the skill's tier doc
has the table, SKILL.md has the obligation, CLAUDE.md has the
constraint.

Deleting the baselines was the third option and is declined: this tier
has caught one thing no other could, the `<span>` that lost the UA
stylesheet's `box-sizing` and grew a badge 36→38px.

Closes #196

logan 2100f0022f fix(settings): raise every Settings control to the touch floor
#56 named 44px and #195 took the page header there. Settings is the
other half of #186 and much the larger one: swept on the reference
device (TLP301, 424x439) with all eleven config-sections expanded,
**120 controls** were under the floor -- not the 93 the issue's table
implies, and config-field is eight of them.

The bulk is behind the disclosures, which is why nobody had counted it:

    36  .column-arrow-btn          16x14   <- smallest in the app
    29  .column-toggle             16x16
    26  shortcut-capture button    80x25
     8  download format checkbox   16x16
     7  config-field select        335x30
     6  wa-input / wa-button       204x20, 185x21

**The density argument, measured rather than guessed, and it is
smaller than it looks.** The rows were already near the floor --
.column-item is 335x36 and .shortcut-row 335x37; it is the controls
*inside* them that were 14-25px. So a control grows into the row it
already occupies and the row goes 36 to 44. Measured after: the two
column lists went 373->447 and 690->850, +234px over the whole page.
Half a screen of extra scroll on a page that already scrolls, against
36 targets of 16x14.

**Settings is cheaper than the header was, and for a stated reason.**
There is no overflow fit on this page, so the header's "only width is
contested" rule does not bind at all and nothing here needs padding
with a negative margin. Height is a min-size, and the two square
controls can simply be square.

Three shapes, because one rule does not fit three kinds of control:

**A native checkbox is targeted through its label.** It cannot grow
its hit area without growing its paint, and a 44px checkbox is not
what anyone wants -- so .column-label is a real <label for> now and
the column's *name* is the target, 70x44 rather than 16x16. That is
the argument config-field already makes one file over ("a real label
association also makes the label text a click target, which is
behaviour, not annotation"), and here it is the whole fix. The
download formats already had the label; they only needed the height.

**The arrows take padding, which is invisible.** They carry
background: none and a transparent border, so 16x14 -> 44x44 changes
nothing anyone can see until hover -- #186's Direction exactly.

**Web Awesome's controls come from the library's own API.** Their
height is decided inside somebody else's shadow root, and
--wa-form-control-height is the variable that decides it. A custom
property inherits through a shadow boundary, so a :host declaration
reaches them; styles/wa-touch-floor.css.ts is that, once, adopted
rather than written at :root in index.css -- a :root rule would be
invisible to the component tier, which renders a component and no page
stylesheet.

**Two controls no sweep can see are fixed by name**, and they are the
trap this issue keeps setting. config-field's toggle has an <input>
that is opacity: 0; width: 0; height: 0, so a walk of every input
skips it as a zero-sized node -- what a finger hits is the <label>,
which measured **34x19**, smaller than anything in either of #186's
tables and absent from both. It is 44x44 with the pill still painted
at 2.5em x 1.4em and negative inline margins keeping it flush with the
inputs above. And shortcut-capture's reset button renders only for a
shortcut somebody has rebound, so a sweep of a fresh install never
meets it.

Verified on the device, same method as the sweep that filed it:
120 controls under the floor before, 42 after. All 42 are accounted
for -- 37 are checkboxes whose labels measure 70x44 and 57x44, four
are wa-input's inner input at 204x**42**, which is the control
measured *inside* its own 1px border (part=base is 238x44), and one is
the skip link, which #186 already ruled out as keyboard-only.

The e2e suite passes, top-bar-fit and header-action-overflow included
-- but that is **chromium**, which is half an answer, and saying so is
the whole of what #195's second commit was about. What can be argued
rather than run: library-filter is the only thing here in a container
that measures itself, and its width did not change. The fit measures
inline size.

Two page-header screenshots are refreshed because they are this
issue's own debris -- #195's taller sort control, merged last session,
with its references never re-recorded. app-sidebar's and
now-playing's are deliberately left: they are unrelated drift, and
blessing an unrelated screenshot is how the sidebar reference came to
still list a destination #27 retired. That is #196.

logan 862e8a0468 feat(home): land on Home, and make it worth landing on
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m3s
CI / check (push) Canceled after 10s
CI / e2e (push) Canceled after 0s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Canceled after 0s
The app opened on Tracks — an alphabetical list of everything, which is
the one entry point that is identical every time and therefore gives the
user nothing to start from. Home is listed first in the nav and is the
page built to answer 'what should I play' (H-8).

Two things had to be true before that was an improvement.

An album with no cover rendered as a small dim icon on a surface the
same colour as the page, so a shelf read as having holes in it, while
the Albums and Artists grids both drew a letter tile (H-9). It draws the
same tile now.

And a shelf that repeats the one above it is suppressed, the way an
empty one already is — 'On repeat' was 'Pick up where you left off'
reordered. The rule fires only when the shelf is not showing the whole
library: a repeat is a fault only if a different row was possible, and
measured against a fixed shelf size instead this let an 11-album library
keep three identical shelves while a 13-album one lost them.

The first two versions of that rule were wrong and the *existing* Go
tests caught both — it collapsed a four-album library to a single shelf.

Nine e2e specs assumed the app starts on Tracks and now navigate there,
and one new spec freezes the landing itself. Home's page-header action
is 'Shuffle suggestions': 'Shuffle' alone was two different controls
with one accessible name, which only became reachable together once a
cached Home was always in the tree.

logan b7dc368d7c feat(ui): give every primary view the same page header
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m0s
CI / check (push) Canceled after 14s
CI / e2e (push) Canceled after 0s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Canceled after 0s
Four views had a heading and four did not, two had a sort control and
none showed a count, so the app changed shape as you moved through it
and "how many albums have I got" could only be answered by counting.
The reason they disagreed is that each had written its own arrangement:
the sort toolbar existed three times, in track-list, cover-grid and
playlist-view, as the same twenty lines with different bugs.

<page-header> is that arrangement once - title, count, sort, actions -
and nine views adopt it. Artists and Genres gain the sort control they
never had; Artists sorts by name only, because library.Artist carries
nothing countable, so the header renders a label and a direction button
rather than a select with one option in it. The header keeps its place
while a view loads: a heading that appears only once the data does is
the shifting layout this is meant to stop. The count is omitted, not
zero, until the view has an answer.

The header search box keeps its slot on every view instead of vanishing
on the ones it cannot serve - which is what moved the library filter
and the job indicator on every navigation. It is view-scoped by
decision and now says so: "Search albums" in the placeholder, the scope
named in the header ("Showing artists matching 'tide'"), and disabled
with a reason where there is nothing to search or the page has a search
of its own.

Also fixes an e2e trap this uncovered: the view-lifecycle spec toggled
shuffle and never toggled it back, so a second run against the same app
failed playback.spec's shuffle assertion - a failure that reads exactly
like a regression in whatever you are holding.

logan 5830b1ba17 test(frontend): cover the lifecycle, the voice and the repaints
Component and store cases for everything in this series, several of
which exist because the thing they pin is invisible everywhere else:

- `view-lifecycle` and `keyboard-reach` — a document listener count
  that does not grow across a simulated navigate cycle, and a tab
  sequence that reaches the sidebar and plays a row without a mouse.
- `notifications`, `notification-store`, `confirm-dialog`,
  `empty-states` — the four levels, the (level, region, key)
  coalescing window, and loading/failed/empty as three states.
- `card-grid-repaint` — fails if `artists-view`'s or `genres-view`'s
  per-render arrow functions are hoisted to stable fields, which is
  the audit's own recommendation and takes the cards from 1 highlighted
  to 0. It exists for no other reason.
- `lazy-track-details` — reads the five sources and fails on a
  returning static import, the same shape as `TestNoDirectRuntimeEmits`
  and for the same reason: the invariant is about what the code does
  *not* say.
- `now-playing` — a position report that changes nothing must not
  touch the DOM again, and a track change must. The first fails
  against the old unconditional `updated()`.
- `playlist-virtualization`, `list-render-cost`, `selection`, `icons`,
  and the store cases for the library-filter race, the never-settling
  waiter and the per-playlist patch.

logan 5ca6cad45a feat(harness): agent-drivable dev harness and CI that gates
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m8s
CI / check (push) Failing after 1m56s
CI / e2e (push) Skipped
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 13s
A coding agent could develop this repo's Go packages and could not
develop the application: every path to running YellowJacket ended in a
blocking GTK window, so 265 bound methods, 46 events, 33 component
directories and 13 stores had exactly one form of verification
available — `tsc --noEmit`.

The unlock is that `wails dev`'s dev server on :34115 serves the real
frontend with the real generated bindings against the same Go backend a
desktop window attaches to, so a plain Chromium under Xvfb gets a fully
functional app. Four test tiers now exist, cheapest first:

- `make ui-test` — 313 Vitest tests in a real browser in ~2 s, no app,
  no backend, no display. Works because `frontend/wailsjs/` is a pure
  passthrough to `window.go`/`window.runtime`, so faking just those two
  globals runs the real bindings and the real store code.
- `make test` — services in-process, asserting on the payload the
  frontend would receive, via a new `events.Emit` wrapper.
- `make dev-headless` + `playwright-cli` — the real app, driven
  interactively, with an event bridge on `window.__yjEvents` and a
  dev-only control surface at `/__test/`.
- `make e2e` — 19 of those flows frozen as Playwright specs.

`events.Emit(ctx, …)` replaces all 35 direct `runtime.EventsEmit` call
sites: wails' `getEvents` `log.Fatalf`s on any context without its
runtime, so those paths could not run under test and a background
worker could take the app down. Four packages had each hand-rolled the
same guard; nine more guarded on `ctx != nil`, which does not help.
`TestNoDirectRuntimeEmits` fails the build on a new one.

Fixtures are generated, not committed (`make testdata`), and seeds are
built by *running the app* — never by hand-writing config and DB rows,
which would be a second description of a valid YJ_HOME.

`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` is the first workflow here that tests
anything; the other three only package, so `gitea_ci` reported only
packaging jobs and misled anyone asking whether a push was healthy.
Both jobs were prototyped to green in a bare ubuntu:24.04 container
before the YAML was written, which immediately caught `make lint`
linting three configurations that nothing builds: all three passes
omitted `webkit2_41`, so wails resolved webkit2gtk-4.0 — which Arch
still ships and Ubuntu 24.04 dropped.

Operational instructions live in `.pi/skills/yellowjacket-dev/`,
measured discoveries in `.planning/NOTES.md`, and architecture in
`CLAUDE.md` — split by tense, not by topic, because a topical split
gives every new fact two plausible homes. `make skill-check` fails a
commit if the skill cites a make target that does not exist.
