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
Replace per-artist sequential GetArtistMBID + GetArtistImageURL
calls (2 Wails round-trips × N artists) with a single batch
GetArtistImages(names[]) call that:
1. Resolves all names → MBIDs via AllArtistMBIDs() (one DB query)
2. Checks disk cache for each MBID via GetCachedImage (no network)
3. Returns map[name]→dataURL in one Wails bridge round-trip
Only returns already-cached images from the disk cache populated
by the index build. No network fetches triggered — artists whose
images haven't been cached yet keep the initial letter fallback
until the index build resolves them in the background.
Result: all cached artist images appear simultaneously on first
render instead of loading one-by-one over several seconds.
Track details dialog now shows:
1. Green checkmark badge next to the track title when the recording
has a MusicBrainz ID (hover: 'Metadata verified by MusicBrainz')
2. MusicBrainz section at the bottom with clickable MBID links for:
- Recording (track) → musicbrainz.org/recording/{mbid}
- Release Group (album) → musicbrainz.org/release-group/{mbid}
- Artist → musicbrainz.org/artist/{mbid}
Links open in the system browser. Only shown for entities that
have MBIDs from audio file tags.
Backend: GetTrackMBIDs(filePath) Wails binding queries recording,
release_group, and artist mbid columns via a single JOIN query.
Frontend: loaded async when the dialog opens, non-blocking.
Three features wired together:
1. 'In Library' badges on explore search results:
CheckLibraryMBIDs Wails binding batch-checks which search result
MBIDs exist in the local library. Green badges render on matching
artist cards and album cards.
2. Artist images on local artist-details page:
Local artist pages now call GetArtistMBID(name) to resolve the
MBID from tags, then GetArtistImageURL(mbid) to fetch the cached
Wikimedia photo. Falls back to initial-letter avatar.
3. Tier 3 search index uses direct MBIDs from tags:
buildTier3Library now reads artists.mbid column (from audio tags)
for direct MBID matching, falling back to name matching for
untagged artists. Eliminates false matches and catches artists
that name matching misses.
Add ArtistImageProvider that resolves artist MBIDs to photo URLs:
1. MB url-rels 'image' type → extract Commons filename → thumb URL
2. MB url-rels 'wikidata' type → Wikidata P18 property → thumb URL
3. No image → falls back to initial-letter avatar
Wikimedia Commons thumb URLs constructed via MD5 hash bucketing
(standard Commons URL scheme). Results cached in explore_cache
with 30-day TTL — subsequent lookups are instant.
Frontend: search results and artist detail page show artist photos
in the circular avatar when available. Images load async and
replace the initial-letter fallback on arrival. Artist detail page
fires the image fetch alongside the other 4 parallel data loads.
Architecture supports adding more sources (fanart.tv, etc.) by
extending the resolve() method's source chain.
Replace per-card GetThumbnail calls (10 round-trips) with a single
GetThumbnails batch call that fetches all visible album thumbnails
in one Wails bridge round-trip.
Backend GetThumbnails accepts []ThumbnailRequest and returns
map[mbid]→dataURL. Each request still checks library → disk cache
→ CAA in order, but the bridge overhead is 1 call instead of 10.
Frontend fires loadThumbnails() once after search results arrive.
Album cards render immediately with CAA URL fallback, then re-render
once the batch resolves with cached/local data URLs.
CoverArtProxy now checks three sources in order:
1. Local library (instant) — matches by album+artist name against
the release_groups/cover_art tables. Albums the user already
owns show their local cover art immediately.
2. Disk cache (instant) — previously fetched CAA thumbnails.
3. Cover Art Archive (network) — fetches and caches to disk.
Library index is built once on first access (sync.Once) from a
single SQL query joining release_groups → cover_art → artists.
Keyed by lowercased 'album\x00artist' for exact name matching.
GetThumbnail now takes (mbid, albumName, artistName) so the proxy
can check the library before falling back to CAA. Frontend passes
the album title and artist credit from the search result.
Add CoverArtProxy that fetches cover art from CAA, caches the image
bytes on disk (~/.local/share/yellowjacket/cover-art-cache/), and
returns base64 data URLs via the GetThumbnail Wails binding.
First load: fetches from CAA (rate-limited), caches to disk.
Subsequent loads: instant from disk cache, no network.
404s: cached as empty files to avoid re-fetching.
Frontend explore-view loads thumbnails async via GetThumbnail()
calls that fire during render. Cached thumbnails appear as data
URLs directly in img src, bypassing the browser's HTTP stack.
Uncached thumbnails fall back to the CAA URL while the proxy
fetches in the background, then re-render with the cached version.
Also stores caa_id and caa_release_mbid in the search index's
extra_json for future direct Internet Archive URL construction.
Extract primary English alias from MusicBrainz artist data when the
canonical name uses non-Latin script (CJK, Cyrillic, etc.). Display
it as the primary name in search results and artist detail header,
with the native script name as a subtitle beneath.
Example: 山下達郎 now shows 'Tatsuro Yamashita' prominently with
'山下達郎' as a subtitle. Artists with Latin names are unchanged.
Backend:
- GetAllTracksWithFullMetadata queries now select play_count and last_played
- mapTrackRow accepts and passes through PlayCount/LastPlayed
- PlayCount + LastPlayed added to library.Track struct
- sqlcgen Row types updated with new fields
Frontend:
- PlayCount + LastPlayed added to library.Track TypeScript model
- 'Plays' column added to track-list column definitions (60px, right-aligned, sortable)
Queries without play data (search, genre, album) pass 0/empty defaults.

- Delete old resolvePhantomTracks method that required phantom_file_path
- Wire ScanHooks in app.go OnStartup
Root causes addressed:
- track-list had no _itemSize hint for flow layout — virtualizer
defaulted to 100px, measured actual ~33px rows, then called
_correctScrollError/scrollTo on every scroll causing visible jumps
- will-change:transform on virtualizer elements caused nested GPU
layers (virtualizer positions children with transforms internally)
adding compositor overhead instead of helping
- content-visibility:auto on album cards conflicted with virtualizer's
own DOM recycling, causing redundant layout recalculation
- track-list visibilityChanged handler wrote to store synchronously
on every event (per-item during scroll) without any throttling
- IIFE closure in renderTrackRow created a new function per row per render
Fixes applied:
- Add _itemSize:{height:33} + fixed height:33px on .track-row (matches
queue-panel pattern that already worked smoothly)
- Add overflow-anchor:none on track-list virtualizer
- Remove will-change:transform from all 6 scroll containers
- Remove content-visibility:auto from album cards
- RAF-throttle visibilityChanged scroll position saves
- Replace IIFE with direct cols.map() in template
recording_genres and release_group_recordings reference recordings.id,
so they must be deleted BEFORE the recordings table is cleaned.
Also extends toast duration to 8s for readability.
