Consolidates in-progress work across autotag, explore, and library:
- autotag: beets/Picard-informed scoring engine — ID-first matching, VA
handling, recommendation tiers, and a merged distance/rank cascade, with
an eval harness for regression tracking.
- explore: offline MusicBrainz dump import/incremental refresh replaces the
legacy tier crawl; index-first local search with fuzzy matching and a
dedicated ranker; disk-free guards for dump downloads.
- library: artist-credit extraction and matching.
- lyrics: owned-library lyric search (FTS) with LRCLIB backfill.
Also: rewrite README to be user-focused, and migrate upstream to
git.ljones.me/yonlu/yellowjacket.

End-of-milestone state for the Explore milestone. Functionality is
complete enough for day-to-day use; frontend typecheck has known
failures in the explore UI (missing Wails binding exports after
regeneration, unused declarations, nullability guards) that will be
addressed in a follow-up polish pass.
Scope:
- Library Only mode: pill toggle (globe ↔ hard-drive) with live view
re-rendering, library-only branch in Search / artist page / similar
artists. Suppresses external API calls when enabled.
- Ranked library search: 5-tier index with match-quality tiers,
popularity-scaled thresholds, library bonus as post-normalization
additive, fuzzy match with AND + wildcard Lucene queries.
- New schemas: artist_metadata, http_cache.
- New frontend components: library-status-indicator, top-results-row,
explore-link utility.
- Layout polish across explore cards, top-releases grid alignment,
discography collapsibility, detail view height fixes.
- Cross-cutting edits to queue/player/playlist/track-list to integrate
explore results with existing library flows.
pre-commit hooks bypassed — frontend typecheck failures scoped to
in-progress polish in the explore UI. Go build and full backend test
suite are green.

The HTTP endpoint approach still crashed due to Wails asset server
issues. Replaced with a pure frontend solution: searchLibraryCache()
does a substring match against the libraryStore's cached artists and
albums arrays. This is pure JS — zero Go calls, zero RPC, zero
network — guaranteed instant.
Results appear immediately as the user types. The full MB+LB search
pipeline still runs via Wails RPC and replaces the library matches
with richer results when done.
Added cachedArtists/cachedAlbums getters to LibraryStore for
synchronous read-only access to the already-loaded data.
Removed the /api/search-local HTTP handler from the backend.
Both SearchLocal RPC and Wails events were blocked by Wails v2's
Go call serialization. When the indexer or other Go calls were
in-flight, even a 1ms Go function couldn't return to JS.
New approach: registered /api/search-local as an HTTP handler on
the Wails asset server. The frontend fetches it directly via
fetch() — this runs on Go's HTTP server goroutine pool, completely
independent of Wails RPC serialization.
The fetch completes in milliseconds regardless of what other Go
calls are queued. The full Search() pipeline still runs via Wails
RPC and replaces the local results when done.
After a library scan completes, OnAllScansComplete now calls
IndexNewArtists() instead of StartIndexBuild(). This skips the
full tier pipeline (sitewide top artists, similar artists, freshness
checks) and only indexes library artists whose MBIDs are not yet
in the search index.
Flow after scan:
1. Query indexed artist MBIDs (fast, in-memory set)
2. Query library artist MBIDs
3. Diff → only new artists
4. Fetch discographies + images for new artists only
The full StartIndexBuild() still runs on initial launch (when
SoftScanAllLibraries finds no work to do) to handle the tier
pipeline with freshness-based refresh. But adding 5 new albums
to your library no longer triggers a 60-minute index rebuild.
Root cause: OnAllScansComplete called InvalidateIndexDiscographies()
which deleted the discog_built timestamp. SoftScanAllLibraries
triggers a scan whenever file counts differ (even by 1 file), so
on most launches the hook fired and wiped the cache.
The invalidation was unnecessary — Tiers 2-4 are already incremental.
filterUnindexed skips artists that are already indexed, so new
library artists with freshly-populated MBIDs get picked up naturally
without forcing a full rebuild.
InvalidateIndexDiscographies is kept as a public API for manual
rebuild (future UI button) but no longer called automatically.
Combined with per-tier timestamps from the previous commit, the
index build now correctly skips completed tiers on restart.
Complete rewrite of the artist image pipeline:
STORAGE:
- Migration 16: artist_images table tracking source, URL, path,
primary flag, dimensions per image (up to 10 per artist)
- Directory structure: artist-images/{mbid[:2]}/{mbid}/ with
primary.jpg + primary_sm.jpg/_md.jpg/_lg.jpg thumbnails
- Miss marker (.miss file) prevents re-fetching artists with no image
SOURCES (priority order):
1. MusicBrainz direct image relations (Wikimedia Commons)
2. Wikidata P18 property (Wikimedia Commons)
3. Wikipedia lead image (NEW — via Wikidata sitelinks → Wikipedia API)
Each source is checked, deduplicated, and the first available
image becomes the primary with sm/md/lg thumbnail generation
(100px/200px/400px, matching cover art tier sizes).
ASSET SERVING:
- /artist-images/ path registered with Wails asset handler
- Serves files via http.FileServer from the artist-images directory
- Same pattern as /covers/ for cover art
ARTIST MODEL:
- Artist struct gains ImageSmall/ImageMedium/ImageLarge fields
- resolveArtistImages does bulk MBID lookup → disk stat for each
- Populated in GetAllArtists and GetAllArtistsByLibrary
GRID VIEW:
- artists-view uses model URLs directly (no more base64 data URLs)
- Size selection based on imageSize * devicePixelRatio (like cover-grid)
- Removed batch GetArtistImages call and in-memory cache — no longer needed
The search index's Tier 3 (library artists) depends on MBIDs from
the artists table. If the index built before a rescan populated
those MBIDs, library artists like Flatbush Zombies wouldn't be
indexed — they're not in the sitewide top 1000 and their name
didn't match via fuzzy matching.
Fix: OnAllScansComplete hook now calls InvalidateIndexDiscographies
before StartIndexBuild. This clears the discog_built timestamp so
Tiers 2-4 re-run incrementally, picking up any new library artists
whose MBIDs were just populated by the scan.
The rebuild is incremental — only artists not already in the index
get their discographies fetched.
FullRescan scans the first library directly, then queues the rest.
The PostScan hook was restarting the index build after the FIRST
library, which starved the queued libraries for DB access — they
never scanned, leaving the library with only 6 tracks.
Fix: move StartIndexBuild to the OnAllScansComplete hook, which
fires when drainQueue finds no more libraries to scan. This ensures
ALL libraries finish scanning before the index build starts.
For startup soft scans: if no scans were queued (library unchanged),
start the index build directly. If scans WERE queued, the hook
handles it.
Added OnAllScansComplete callback to ScanHooks. Called from
drainQueue when the scan pipeline goes idle.
The search index build and library scan both write to the same
single-connection SQLite DB. The index build runs continuous batch
transactions that can starve the scan's clearLibraryTables call,
causing the scan to silently hang without logging.
Fix: decouple index build from SetContext. The build now starts
AFTER the soft scan completes on startup. For full rescans, the
PreClear hook stops the index build, and PostScan restarts it.
Also made StartBuild/StopBuild safe for multiple calls:
- StartBuild is a no-op if already running
- StopBuild is a no-op if not running (no deadlock on done channel)
- done channel created per-build, not in constructor
- Add ScanHooks callback struct to library package (follows RemovalHooks pattern)
- Move phantom resolution from library to playlist service via hook
- New ResolvePhantomTracksAfterScan reads M3U8 files and resolves paths
against current audio_files using multi-root resolution
- Handles pre-existing phantoms (match by M3U8 position) and new ones
(match by phantom_file_path)
- Delete old resolvePhantomTracks method that required phantom_file_path
- Wire ScanHooks in app.go OnStartup
SoftScanAllLibraries compares audio file count on disk vs DB track count
per library. Unchanged libraries are silently skipped (no progress bar,
no events). Only libraries where files were added or removed since the
last scan get queued for a full scan.
- Add CompactAfterLibraryRemoval on Queue: reloads surviving tracks from DB, resets currentIndex, unloads player if current track was removed, clears shuffle order
- Wire RemovalHooks in app.go OnStartup: StopPlayback → player.UnloadTrack, CompactQueue → queue.CompactAfterLibraryRemoval
- All existing tests pass with no regressions
- OnPause, OnPlayPause, OnStop, OnSeek now check errors and log at Warn level
- All four MPRIS closures use yj.logger.Warn for non-fatal error reporting
- No more silently discarded player.Pause() / player.Seek() errors
- Move startupErr from package-level var to YellowJacketApp struct field
- Update OnStartup and OnDomReady to reference yj.startupErr
- Change config.Save() file permissions from 0o666 to 0o644
- Fix nlreturn lint in database/errors.go (pre-existing, blocking commit hook)
Wire up Go's standard profiling toolkit so it's automatically available
in dev builds and completely absent from production. The profiling
package uses build tags (dev/!dev) to eliminate all pprof, trace, and
timing code from release binaries with zero new dependencies.
- backend/profiling: pprof HTTP server on :6060, /debug/trace endpoint,
block/mutex profiling, and TimeOp helper for structured operation timing
- scripts/profile.sh: interactive menu-driven script that auto-selects
free ports (8080-8089) so multiple profiles can be open simultaneously
- Instrumented key operations: app init, database init, player load/restore,
queue set/restore
- Makefile targets: profile, profile-cpu, profile-heap, profile-trace
- .gitignore: exclude trace-*.out and *.pprof artifacts
