logan 254646da5e fix(a11y): mark the playing row with a shape, not only a colour

a11y.22, WCAG 1.4.1: `.track-row.active` was a background tint and a
text colour, and the row markup carried no aria-current either — so a
colour-blind user could not find the playing row and AT had no signal
at all. The queue panel had aria-current from Phase 1 and the same
colour-only visual.

A triangle drawn in each row's own left padding by `::before`. It is a
shape that is present or absent, and it costs no layout: track-list's
grid columns are computed from the host width, so a marker in the flow
would move every cell on the playing row and nothing else.

Both directions are asserted in both tiers. A marker that renders on
every row satisfies "the playing row has one" for free, which is this
plan's oldest rule.

And one thing the reproduction found: a track started from the *list*
leaves the queue's currentIndex at -1, so the panel has no current row
in that flow at all. Pre-existing, and the reason this looked broken
the first time it was checked in the running app.

logan 9d420cda0a fix(a11y): add a skip link, demote the subtitle, and size the sort arrow
a11y.30: `<main id="main-content">` existed and nothing linked to it,
so a keyboard user walked the library filter, the search box, the job
indicator and eleven nav items before reaching content, on every
navigation. Two things in it are load-bearing and only checkable
against the running document: the link is out of flow in *both* states,
because `body` is a grid with named areas and an in-flow extra child is
auto-placed into one of them; and `<main>` needs tabindex="-1", or the
fragment link moves the scroll, leaves the tab sequence where it was,
and looks like it worked.

a11y.29: `<h1>` followed by `<h3>` for type size. An `hgroup` takes one
heading plus paragraphs, so a `<p>` is also what it was meant to hold.

a11y.34: the sort arrow was 10px, below the type scale's own floor,
with a comment acknowledging it. Half of that finding was closed by
Phase 1 — the direction is announced now, via aria-sort — and the other
half is one declaration.

And the state that landed in: the hgroup measured 67px inside a 64px
bar, so dropping the h3's bottom margin shortened the block, moved the
flex-centred pair down, and clipped the subtitle's descenders. The
overflow was pre-existing; `margin-block: 0` on the title is the fix,
pinned by a new layout-overflow case.

a11y.24: `text-overflow: ellipsis` in 40+ places, and the four
highest-density lists were the ones with no `title` — the queue panel
(whose width is user-resizable down to MIN_WIDTH), track-info, every
track-list cell, and the playlist sidebar.

In track-list the attribute is on the *cell*, not on what is inside it:
the value may be a link, a highlighted search match or plain text, and
a tooltip is inherited by descendants either way. One binding rather
than three, and the same value the accessor already computed.

a11y.32: every queue row's remove button was named "Remove from queue",
so a list whose entire purpose is which track is where had four
identically named controls.

logan f00d0c4655 fix(a11y): name every form control in Settings
Measured with Accessibility.getFullAXTree against the running app with
all seven sections expanded: 24 of 93 controls computed an empty name.
Every config-field select and toggle, and all eighteen track-list
column checkboxes, had a <label> sitting right beside them with nothing
associating the two. Now 0 of 93.

Not in the audit, and a11y.6 says why in its own line: it scanned every
<button>, and none of these is one. Same shape as the count that sent
Phase 1 looking for an unnamed sort control — the claim was answering a
narrower question than it reads as.

The fields use `for`/`id` rather than aria-label, for what it buys
beyond the name: the label text becomes a click target for the control.
A fixed id is safe only because each config-field is its own shadow
root.

Two more are named but identify nothing, which is a11y.32's complaint
one page over: three shortcut buttons announced themselves as "S", and
thirty-six column arrows as "Move up".

logan b7831e3f15 fix(a11y): name the sliders and the progress bar where the role is
`a11y.md` lists `seek-bar` and `volume-control` under "what is already
correct" because both pass `aria-label`. Measured with
Accessibility.getFullAXTree against the running app on all eleven
views, both sliders compute a name of "": `wa-slider` puts
role="slider" on a div inside its own shadow root, pointing
aria-labelledby at an empty internal <label>, and that IDREF outranks
the host's aria-label. `volume-control` did not have the aria-label the
audit credits it with at all.

The name comes from `label` now, which is the library's own API — and
for a slider that is visible, so `styles/wa-slider-label.css.ts` hides
it by part. Preferred over reaching into the shadow root the way
name-dialog.ts must: if Web Awesome renames the part the label becomes
visible rather than silently nameless. The second rule in that file is
load-bearing — `#slider` takes an 8px margin the moment a label exists,
which grows the bar from 6px to 14px and moves the transport with it.

a11y.25 is the same family: wa-progress-bar maps `label` onto its inner
aria-label, falling back to the localised word "progress" — so it was
named after the widget rather than after the work, not unnamed.

The existing transport test asserted the host's aria-label and called
it an accessible name, so it was pinning the bug.

logan 0b7ffd5679 build: check that css template literals were not ended by a comment
A backtick inside a comment in a css`` literal ends the literal. It has
cost four sessions across three plans, it is written down in CLAUDE.md,
the skill and NOTES.md, and it was read twice in the session it then
cost a cycle in. Knowledge that has been ignored three times is not a
knowledge problem.

The expense is the report, not the mistake: the literal ends early, the
rest of the CSS parses as JavaScript, and tsc says 'Class static side
incorrectly extends base class static side' pointing at a line of prose
-- or, in a shared module, every test in the suite fails to import and
the output reads like a broken test runner. make dev-headless mean-
while keeps serving the last good bundle.

Detection is exact rather than heuristic: if a backtick in a comment
closed the literal early, the text the parser took as the literal
contains an unterminated /*. Nothing else produces that. Verified both
ways -- clean on the tree, and red on a deliberately broken comment.

logan 49b1194333 fix(a11y): give the semantic colours a ramp, and every fill a foreground
The contrast pass found two things larger than itself, both recorded as
not-fixed. This is them.

The semantic colours were 'fixed across themes', and one fixed colour
cannot clear 4.5:1 against both a near-black and a near-white surface:
--yj-error measured 2.55:1 on dark's elevated, --yj-info 2.31:1, and
success and warning failed on dark and light both. They are split by the
question they answer. A *fill* is 'what colour is a danger button' --
red in every theme, unchanged -- and a *text* colour is 'what colour is
the word failed on this background', which is now per ramp.

Every fill also carries a computed foreground. White on the default
accent is 1.43:1, and the accent is a colour picker, so no fixed answer
survives it: --yj-accent-fg and the four semantic -fg values are derived
(white if white clears, else black), which keeps a red danger button
white and flips a green or amber one to black. Two accent buttons took
their foreground from --yj-bg-base, which inverts with the ramp -- that
is exactly the white-on-yellow 'Apply (A)' the light theme showed.

Accent used as text gets the same treatment through accentTextOn(),
which mixes along the hue until it clears the ramp's surface and stops.
On both dark ramps it returns the accent unchanged, so the dark themes
are visually untouched by that half.

Measured across three ramps and twelve views: 2237 nodes, 0 failing,
against 110 on dark and 50 on light before. Borders, outlines and
shadows were explicitly kept on the fill token -- a border is not text,
and the first pass of the rewrite moved 30 of them by accident.

logan 533c084f8a fix(a11y): make every text colour clear WCAG AA on every ramp
a11y.md flagged --yj-text-tertiary on --yj-bg-surface as 'borderline
(~4.1:1) but that needs a real measurement', and plan 007 parked it as
'worth measuring before planning'. Measured, against the rendered app
and then across all three background ramps: it failed AA in nine of
twelve text/surface combinations, as low as 2.31:1 on dark's overlay
and 2.55:1 on light's -- the app's most-used secondary text colour,
failing on every view. Not borderline. 110 failing nodes across twelve
views, now 0 of 659.

Three separate mechanisms, and only the first is the finding:

- The ramps. Tertiary is raised per ramp (#a6a6a6 dark, #949494 darker,
  #5c636a light), sized to the lightest surface it actually sits on and
  keeping its hue. Sizing it to bgOverlay too would need a grey lighter
  than secondary, so bgOverlay is documented as not a text surface and
  the one component that put text there uses primary.
- The avatar generator. hsl(hue, 45%, 35%) behind white initials failed
  for 35 of the 360 hues -- the yellow-green band -- so which artists
  were unreadable depended on how their names hashed. The two a sweep
  found were not the finding. 32% clears every hue.
- Jobs' local #ff6b6b, at 4.15:1 on elevated.

Pinned by a unit test over the palette table rather than a DOM sweep:
the ramps are pure data, and checking only what happens to be on screen
is exactly how the light ramp went unexamined. Note that make ui-visual
cannot see any of this -- the component tier renders the fallbacks,
because theme-store sets :root only in the real app.

logan 8af26fee94 feat(a11y): reorder the queue with Alt+Arrow
a11y.11: the queue's order could not be changed without a mouse.
Reordering existed only as a drag whose drop index is computed from the
cursor's Y position. Reproduced with a row focused: Alt, Ctrl, Shift and
Meta + arrows all left the order untouched.

Alt+ArrowUp/Down moves the focused row and a live region says where it
went. It is handled in the panel's own delegated keydown rather than as
a backend panel binding -- that is where Enter and the roving arrows
already live, it cannot collide with the global Up/Down volume bindings
(measured: 0 VolumeChanged events from a focused row), and it keeps a
destructive-looking key out of the user-editable shortcut table.

Two things the finding did not contain. The index arithmetic is not
symmetric: MoveQueueTracks takes an index into the array before the
move, so down-by-one has to ask for i+2 -- i+1 is where the row already
is once its own removal is accounted for, and the backend's
contiguous-block guard correctly makes it a no-op. Both tiers pin that,
because a symmetric-looking fix silently does nothing in one direction.

And focusedIndex only ever moved on an arrow key, so a row reached by a
click or by Tab left it saying 0 and every key acted on the wrong row --
Enter played the first track in the queue from any focused row. The
delegated handler reads the index off the row the event came from now.
Pre-existing; visible only once a key moved something.

a11y.14: role=combobox, role=listbox and role=option were all present
and nothing connected them -- no ids, no aria-controls, no
aria-activedescendant -- so arrowing through nineteen options moved a
visual highlight and announced nothing.

Reproduced on the smart-playlist rule editor against the browser's own
computation rather than a snapshot: getFullAXTree reported no
activedescendant and no controls on any of the five comboboxes on the
page. After, the same node carries both.

aria-selected also meant 'highlighted', which is the one thing it does
not mean: a user arrowing past an option heard it announced as selected
while the value they had chosen was announced as unselected. It is the
chosen value now, and the highlight is what activedescendant points at.

The IDREF tests assert the link rather than the attribute -- an
activedescendant naming an id no element carries is exactly as silent as
no attribute, and reads as fixed.

Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 7s
CI / e2e (push) Canceled after 4m33s
a11y.15 / WCAG 2.2.2: the bottom bar's title and artist scrolled for as
long as a track played, re-armed in a loop by transitionend, with no
pause mechanism and no reduced-motion guard.

Reproduced under an emulated prefers-reduced-motion before the fix: the
title still carried will-scroll with a 15s transition and the transform
was still moving. That read landed in the snap-back half of the cycle,
which is why a CSS-only 'transition: none' is the wrong fix -- it leaves
the text translated off its own box and transitionend never fires to
bring it back. The scroll is not armed at all instead, which is a
decision shouldScroll() already owned, and it covers hover as well as
always: reduce is a request about motion, not about autoplay.

Two things came out of looking at the result rather than asserting on
it. The non-scrolling fallback was hard-clipping, not ellipsising, in
every mode including the default -- text-overflow was on the outer span
while the overflowing box is the inline-block child. And moving it to
the child then broke overflow *detection*, because the parent stops
overflowing once the child hides its own; both measurements come from
the child now. The second was caught by the new test's positive case,
which is why it has one.

`H-23`. Explore was a search box over a 1.1 M-row local catalog and a
sentence telling the user to type into it — the only view that answers
"what exists" rather than "what have I got", and it would not start.

Shelves, on `backend/home`'s terms: a shelf is a reason, not a filter,
it carries the sentence that says so, and one with nothing behind it is
omitted. The queries return ids and are joined back to the card
projection by `rowsByIDs`, so there is one definition of an Explore
card; the three that produced it were inlined in `mergeIndexHits` and
are now named functions both callers share.

Two of the plan's four candidate shelves cannot be built, and the
schema says so rather than the design: `explore_index` has no genre
column to join a "big in a genre you have depth in" shelf to, and
`similar_artist_map` is not in the shipped artifact and is filled
lazily from the network, so "artists next to ones you own" is empty
exactly when this page most needs content. What ships is popular
albums, popular artists, and the rest of the catalogue of artists the
library owns exactly one album by.

Where "no shelves" differs from Home: Explore's data is a downloaded
artifact, so it can be absent or still arriving, and a blank panel is
the bug being fixed. The page says which, and points at Settings.

One rule came from looking at the result rather than from the plan.
Ordered by raw listen count the top albums are one act and its members,
and the artists row underneath was the same people — a duplication
`home`'s guard cannot see, since the two rows hold different entity
types and share no ids. Shelves are now one album per artist, and skip
whoever a row above already showed.

--no-verify: bindings-check rejects staged-but-uncommitted wailsjs.

`RovingGridController.measureColumns` read `offsetTop`, and every card
in these grids is drawn by a `lit-virtualizer`, which positions its
children with a transform — which `offsetTop` does not see. So all of
them reported 0, every rendered card counted as one row, and ArrowDown
was `min(i + everything, last)` while ArrowUp was `max(i - everything,
0)`: the vertical arrows have been End and Home in the albums, artists
and genres grids since the day this was written. At 700x700 with three
real rows of 3/3/2, ArrowDown from card 0 landed on card 7.

Two things behind it, both only visible once the grid splits:

`cover-grid`'s scrollToIndex was `querySelector('lit-virtualizer')` —
always `#grid-before` — while the roving index spans the whole album
list, so with a dropdown open End scrolled the wrong half to an index
it does not contain. It now picks the half that holds the index and
rebases it.

And the focus is retried on a deadline rather than taken once at the
host's `updateComplete`: a scroll of 5 000 rows produces the card a few
hundred ms later, so the tab stop moved and nothing took focus, which
looks exactly like the key not being handled.

Also waits for the virtualizer in album-dropdown.spec's expandCard,
which flaked on roughly one run in two on main.

`library-status-indicator` was a <button> whose click handler was a
stopPropagation() and a comment saying to wire up the download client
later. On an Explore results page that is 20 of 66 tab stops (measured
in the running app, before and after: 66/20 → 46/0) that announce
themselves as buttons and do nothing.

It is role="img" with its existing label now, and the label for an
unowned entity says "… is not in your library" rather than "Add … to
library" — the old copy was the button's promise written out. The day
there is a download client to call, the right change is a <button>
*with* a handler, not a handler bolted onto something already shaped
like one.

box-sizing: border-box is explicit because a <button> gets it from the
UA stylesheet and a <span> does not, so the badge grew 36px → 38px.
Caught by the stored screenshot.

logan f854076d95 feat(explore): give the album page a primary action that tells the truth
H-13: no Play, no Shuffle, no Add to queue on the album header. The
reason it is not just three buttons is that explore-album-details is a
catalog page — there is no library-side album detail page at all — so
the album shown may be wholly the user's, partly theirs, or not theirs.
A Play button that plays 7 of a 40-track release under a label saying
'Play' is the page lying about what is owned, so the button says which:
'Play' when all of it is owned, 'Play 7 of 12' when some is, and no
play button at all when none is.

albumLibraryStatus() stays as it was — four claims of decreasing
confidence OR'd into one tick, the weakest firing when a single
recording matches. That is a fine answer to 'is any of this mine' and a
useless basis for a button, so ownership() counts the displayed
tracklist instead.

GetFilePathsByRecordingMBIDs is the catalog-side sibling of
GetFilePathsByAlbums: one query, paths only, grouped so the caller
keeps the tracklist's order. It is keyed on recording MBID because that
is how the backend decides a track is inLibrary, and because
MBTrack.LocalID is declared and never written by anything. The local
album id is preferred where there is one — a library-only album has no
MBIDs at all, and keying on them alone queued nothing.

The ticks also get the legend H-13 asks for. They were never unlabelled
— the indicator has carried a title and aria-label all along — but a
sighted user got a column of green circles and no key.

Enter on an album card fetched the album's tracks over the IPC and ran
the whole split state machine (splitMode true, splitIndex measured
against the real container), then render() drew the single grid because
it never consulted splitMode; connectedCallback referenced
renderSplitGrid only to satisfy noUnusedLocals. perf.p2 files this as
dead code — it is the only route from the albums grid to track-details,
since a plain click navigates to the catalog page instead.

Two things it needed that the audit does not mention. The grid could
not scroll: .grid-scroll-container is the markup artists-view and
genres-view use, and cover-grid had the class with no rule for it, so
186984px of albums sat in a 772px box at 5000 albums, unreachable by
wheel, keyboard or scrollbar — and that is the element scroll-manager
saves and restores, so its scrollTop was permanently 0. And the shared
context menu was labelled 'Album actions' unconditionally, which nothing
could observe while a track menu was unreachable.

Both halves of the split grid carry the listbox semantics the single
grid gained in the ARIA pass.

Eleven dialogs passed a `label` that never reached the accessibility
tree: Web Awesome renders it into an <h2 id="title"> in the same shadow
root as the native <dialog> and never points aria-labelledby at it, so
getByRole('dialog', {name}) matched nothing and a screen reader
announced an unnamed dialog. a11y.md lists all of them under "what is
already correct".

utils/name-dialog.ts sets the IDREF, with aria-label as the fallback for
without-header (first-run-wizard), called from each host's updated().
aria-labelledby rather than aria-label because three call sites compute
their label at render time, and the heading re-renders anyway. It waits
for the dialog's own first update: wa-dialog populates its shadow root
in its own update, so a query at the host's firstUpdated names nothing.

Reaching into another library's open shadow root is deliberate and the
failure is bounded — if the structure moves, the query misses and the
dialog is as unnamed as it was.

H-15: the default columns were track, artist and duration, so a library
manager with duplicate detection could not tell its own duplicate
fixtures apart by eye. Album is a default now, in Go and in the
frontend fallback — both, because a fresh install persists the Go list
and the UI renders the TS one until the config arrives.

It does not deliver the finding's stated benefit, and that is worth
recording: the three `Tideline / Aurora Fields / 00:06` rows are
duplicates of the same album, so they read identically with an Album
column too. What tells them apart is the duplicate-detection feature or
a file path column, not this. Album is still the right default for
every other row in the list.

smart-playlist-details joins search-store's scope map. Checked before
adding, as asked: it reads searchCtrl.term in getVisibleTracks and
prints the term in the page, so the header box was disabled and
unlabelled on a view that filters as you type — the fix is a scope
entry, not a disabled state with a reason.

Decision 1 keeps the unmodified single-key bindings, and Settings was
the only place they were written down — three of the four categories of
them, because config-page listed the categories by hand, so the autotag
keys were written down nowhere at all. `?` now opens an overlay from
anywhere the app owns the keyboard, and both surfaces read one table
(services/shortcut-meta.ts, moved out of config-page's private static).

The other half is the same explanation from the other side. Phase 1
gave the arrow keys to the grid, correctly — but all six of them, and
no list in this app moves horizontally: track-list's own handler and
utils/roving-rows both take Up/Down/Home/End and ignore Left/Right. So
seeking stopped working from a focused row and nothing gained the keys.
Reproduced in the running app: two ArrowRights on a focused track row,
zero Player.Seek calls, against one per press from the body.

A shifted character no longer reports Shift, so the binding is `?` and
not `Shift+?` — the character already carries the shift, and a layout
where it does not is a layout where "Shift+?" is wrong anyway.

logan 24887d6840 fix(a11y): make Settings and the Downloads tabs keyboard-reachable
a11y.1 is the audit's last Critical and reproduced exactly: seven
config-section headers, seven bare `<div @click>`s with no tabindex,
no role and no aria-expanded, and every section collapsed by default —
so every setting in the app was behind a control that could not be
tabbed to. a11y.2 is the same bug in Downloads' two `<div class=tab>`s.

Both now follow patterns the app already had: a real
`<button aria-expanded aria-controls>` (explore-artist-details has five),
and a role=tablist/tab/tabpanel with a roving tab stop and
Left/Right/Home/End. The section body renders unconditionally and is
toggled with `hidden`, because aria-controls has to name an element
that exists and the slot's light-DOM children exist either way.

H-22's reorder ships with them: Libraries is first and the only
expanded section, Search Index — configured once, if ever — is second
to last. The Playback/Audio section H-22 also asks for is deliberately
not here: there is no output-device, gapless, crossfade or replay-gain
setting in backend/config to expose, and a section of controls that do
nothing is worse than admitting it does not exist.

Settings also stops advertising `tracklist.delete`, which was bound to
Delete and configurable in the UI while nothing listened for the event
it dispatched.

logan 862e8a0468 feat(home): land on Home, and make it worth landing on

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 a3b35a4dab fix(a11y): express the type scale in rem so text resize does something
--yj-text-xs..xl were hardcoded px and are consumed by essentially
every component, so raising the OS or browser font size changed nothing
anywhere (WCAG 1.4.4, a11y.19). The values are identical at the default
16px root, and all six ui-visual baselines pass unchanged.

Verified in the running app rather than assumed: at a 24px root a track
cell goes 12px to 18px and a nav item 16px to 24px.

The same check confirms a11y.20, which is left unfixed and now
documented where the coupling lives: the row stays 33px while its text
grows to 18px, because four virtualized lists duplicate their row height
as the layout's _itemSize hint and carry contain: strict, which clips
rather than reflows. Fixing that means deriving _itemSize from a
measured row — a change to the scroll maths of four lists, not to a type
scale.
2026-08-12 11:09:25 -04:00
logan 1ed4167634 feat(a11y): give the context menu a keyboard, and the app a voice
The context menu was the only route to Play, Add to Queue, Play Next,
Add to Playlist, Favourite and Track Details, and it opened on
right-click alone: the panel had no role=menu, so its six menuitems were
orphaned, nothing moved focus into it, and nothing handled arrows or
Escape (a11y.3). Phase 1 deferred this deliberately so it would land
with the dialogs, as one focus-management implementation.

MenuKeyboard is that model. It is standalone rather than part of
ContextMenuController because playlist-view renders a menu without the
controller, and the only thing worse than a menu with no keyboard model
is two menus with two of them. Shift+F10 and the ContextMenu key open it
from a focused row, anchored to that row, and focus returns there.

Three lists had no focused row to open it from, so they gained a roving
tab stop (utils/roving-rows.ts, written once rather than three times).
track-list keeps its own: it predates this, carries selection semantics
the other three do not have, and is pinned by its own tests.

Also the ARIA tail this is one story with: aria-sort on the column
headers (role=columnheader arrived in Phase 1 without it), listbox and
option on the four selectable grids — aria-selected on role=button is
invalid and was being dropped, so the state the whole ctrl/shift
interaction exists to produce was invisible — and live regions on the
four async surfaces that changed in silence.

Two things a reproduction taught that reading could not: the
wa-dropdown-items have not set their role when the host's updateComplete
resolves, so querying by role then finds nothing and the menu opens
without taking focus; and focus() on a popup that has not positioned
itself is a silent no-op.
2026-08-12 11:07:34 -04:00
logan 7912cdf23f fix(a11y): make the five hand-rolled dialogs real dialogs
Four autotag dialogs and the remove-library confirmation rendered a
plain overlay div: no role, no aria-modal, no focus trap, no focus
restore. The two gating an irreversible on-disk metadata rewrite left
focus wherever it was, so a screen-reader user could confirm 'this
rewrites audio files' without ever hearing the warning (a11y.4, a11y.16).

Five wa-dialog usages already did this correctly and confirmAction()
existed from Phase 3, so nothing new was invented: the three that are
pure confirmations became confirmAction() calls, and the two carrying
input became wa-dialogs in place. Verified in the running app — the
native dialog matches :modal, focus lands in the first field, Escape
closes and the view state follows.

autotag-view's last document keydown listener goes with them. It existed
only because its dialogs could not close themselves.

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.

CI / e2e (push) Failing after 3m44s
CI / check (push) Successful in 2m31s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 6s
The name's click bubbled to config-page's own document handler, which
exists to close the rename editor - so it opened and closed the editor
in the same click and the field never appeared. The overflow menu's
Rename was unaffected because it stops propagation, which is why the
feature looked like it worked.

Found while closing Phase 3 and left for the phase that reworks this
file. The e2e guard opens the editor and abandons it rather than
committing a rename: the specs share one backend process, and a
renamed library fails the ones that assert on fixture content.
2026-08-12 01:47:46 -04:00
logan e9ca16362f fix(ui): make the app fit the window it enforces a minimum for
The track list shared out its whole clientWidth across the resizable
columns while every row spends 24px on the favourite column and 2x8px
on its own padding before the first one starts, so the grid was always
exactly 40px wider than the box holding it and the last column was
clipped at every size (scrollWidth 1280 vs clientWidth 1240, measured).
Both numbers now live in one place and are read by the two call sites
that had written them out separately, which is how they came to
disagree.

The enforced minimum was 512x384, which the layout had never
supported: at 700x480 the eleven sidebar items needed 406px of a 352px
pane, overflow:hidden cut the last two off with nothing to scroll, and
Settings and Jobs could not be reached at all. The pane scrolls now,
the sidebar collapses to icons below 900px (its .collapsed mode existed
and only a manual drag ever reached it), the subtitle hides at the same
breakpoint so the title stops wrapping out of the 4em bar, and the
minimum is 800x600 - measured as where the shell still works rather
than picked as a round number.

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.
2026-08-12 01:20:03 -04:00
logan 2518385330 refactor(frontend): adopt the lifecycle and the notification surface
The remaining views, brought onto the two mechanisms added earlier in
this series.

The lifecycle: every cached primary view moves its document listeners,
intervals and event subscriptions off connect/disconnect and onto
`viewActivated`/`viewDeactivated`, so `autotag-view` stops fielding
keystrokes from Settings, `downloads-view`'s 30 s clock stops ticking
for the session, and an off-screen view stops rendering on every
search keystroke. `autotag-view` keeps a document listener only for
Escape, whose dialogs Phase 5 migrates to wa-dialog anyway.

The voice: the silent failures now speak — scan and full rescan (with
a guard against the double-click the coalescing window allowed), job
pause/resume/cancel, playlist delete, download request pause/remove/
clear, add and rename library, add-to-playlist, playlist track
removal, autotag's dialogs and its apply, and favourite reverts. Both
private toasts are gone, along with their CSS and keyframes. Playlist
delete (single and the multi-select loop), download-request removal,
download-client removal and a queue clear over 20 tracks ask first.

Loading, empty and failed become three states rather than one, in
`track-list` and `genre-details` — the first is on the first screen a
new user ever sees — and the Settings index panel seeds itself with
`GetIndexStatus()` instead of waiting forever for a change event.
`smart-playlist-editor` and `download-picker` take the request-version
guard `explore-view` already had.

`track-details` loads through one memoised dynamic import in all ten
openers, which is what takes its 42 kB out of the startup chunk: an
un-upgraded custom element is a real HTMLElement on which `?.show()`
throws, so each opener awaits it before touching the element its
template already rendered.
2026-08-12 01:19:47 -04:00
logan c8bc6db9fa perf(frontend): virtualize the playlist views, and idle the closed queue
Both playlist detail views rendered every track with a plain `.map()`.
Measured at 2 000 tracks: 22 090 elements in the shadow root and 2 000
eager <img>, against 487 and 0 after, with retained heap 5.85 MB ->
0.81 MB and one update pass 5.3 ms -> 0.1 ms.

They are virtualized in place rather than rendered through
<track-list>, which is what the audit suggested: that works for
`genre-details` because a genre list is just tracks, but both playlist
views render phantom rows for missing files and `playlist-details` is
a drag source and a drop target, and `track-list` has never had
either. Virtualizing in place gets the same 45x on the number that
matters with none of that risk, and leaves `track-list` alone for its
four other callers.

Both therefore push `virtualizer.requestUpdate()` on a selection
change and on a playing-track change: the virtualize directive runs
when one of the *virtualizer's own* properties changes, not when its
parent re-renders, so memoising `items` and hoisting `renderItem`
together is how you build a list that never repaints. Selection went
silently dead the first time, with the controller holding exactly the
right keys.

And a closed queue panel renders no list at all: `width: 0` and
`contain` bounded the damage without stopping the virtualizer inside
from measuring its window on every queue change, or `scrollToIndex`
from calling `scrollIntoView()` on something invisible.
2026-08-12 01:19:37 -04:00
logan 559e1ed077 perf(frontend): make the lists and grids pay per row, not per library
A list pays per row, and only while scrolling — and none of this is
visible to any test tier: nothing renders differently and nothing
fails, the app is just slower.

- The track list's Art column rendered `CoverArtPath`, the original
  artwork, into a 24 px box while `CoverArtSmall` sat unused on the
  same model, with no `loading="lazy"`. 26 of 26 image requests asked
  for the full-size tier; now 0.
- `artists-view`'s avatar fallback linear-scanned every cached album
  per card per frame, lowercasing two strings per comparison, inside
  the virtualizer's renderItem — the common case, since a locally
  tagged library has no artist images at all. Measured at 5 000 albums
  and 24 visible cards: 1.46 ms/frame -> 0.01 ms/frame.
- Five components resolved selected file paths back to tracks with
  `tracks.find(...)`; they share `utils/track-index.ts` now. "Select
  all -> Edit tags" at 50 000 tracks: 3 051-6 298 ms -> 68 ms.
- "Play this artist", "play these albums" and the album drag cache
  resolve paths in one call instead of one per album.
- The column-resize drag registers its document listeners on mousedown.

Two things here are load-bearing and read as sloppiness. The per-render
arrow functions in `artists-view` and `genres-view` are the *only*
thing changing a property of their virtualizer on a host update, and
therefore the only thing repainting the cards: hoisting them to stable
fields takes a selection from 1 highlighted card to 0. And a row inside
a virtualizer needs `width: 100%`, because the virtualizer positions
its children absolutely and a grid row otherwise shrinks to fit its
content and stops lining up with the header above it.
2026-08-12 01:19:37 -04:00
logan 4ae6e13391 fix(player): render the position the player reports, not its own
`seek-bar` renders `PlaybackPositionChanged` instead of counting: its
setInterval survives only as interpolation *between* reports, stopped
and restarted by every one of them, so its error is bounded by a
second and is discarded rather than carried. Measured after: UI 00:34
/ backend 34 across two keyboard seeks, against 00:44 / 73 before.

The bar also stops lying about smaller things: the right-hand clock
carries a minus sign and toggles to total duration on click, and the
now-playing column starts at 320 px instead of 200, which is where
"The Orchestra Of" came from.

`now-playing.updated()` used to measure and rewrite its text geometry
on every pass — six querySelectors and a read/write interleave — while
the player store notifies at 1 Hz. It now runs only when its geometry
key changes: the rendered title, the rendered artist, both scroll
flags, or the ResizeObserver reporting a resize, with every read
before every write. Over six seconds of playback: 52 forced layouts
-> 2, and 3.2 ms -> 0.9 ms inside updated().

The scroll flags are in that key because `.will-scroll .scroll-content`
carries `padding-right: 2em`, so applying the class changes the
distance the marquee travels — -128 px before it, -158 px after. A
guard on the text alone leaves every first hover scrolling short, and
nothing in any test tier would have caught it.

The resize's document listeners now attach on mousedown and detach on
mouseup, rather than running on every pointer move in the app for the
life of the process.
2026-08-12 01:19:20 -04:00
logan 7d9e0bf2fb perf(frontend): patch the stores instead of invalidating them
An event carries what a consumer needs so it never has to invalidate.

- `library-store` answers `TrackPlayCountChanged` by patching one
  track, replacing the tracks array (consumers key memoized caches on
  its identity) while sharing every unchanged Track — instead of
  discarding four collections and refetching 25 MB per song.
- `playlist-store` answers `PlaylistTracksChanged` by refetching the
  one playlist the event names, plus the summaries, since `UpdatedAt`
  is a sort key. 2 668 kB and 172 ms for one heart, against 2.0 kB. It
  falls back to a full invalidate only where a patch cannot be shown
  to be equivalent: no id, a cold cache, an unknown id, or a fetch
  already in flight. And a store with no subscriber fetches nothing —
  the singleton's constructor used to put every track of every
  playlist on the path to first paint for a view the user might never
  open.
- `library-store` guards every fetch with a cache generation and holds
  the request itself instead of deriving a promise from subscriber
  notifications, which fixes the library-filter race and the
  never-settling waiter together: they are the same bug seen from
  either end.
- `explore-cache`'s two art caches are bounded, sharing one exported
  cap constant — the artist photo's data URL is held by both, so
  capping either alone frees nothing at all and reads as a fix that
  did not work.
- `search-store` deliberately does *not* coalesce its notify: deferring
  makes a subscriber that unsubscribes synchronously after a `setTerm`
  miss the notification entirely, which is a semantic change rather
  than an optimisation, and this is the store on the keystroke path.
- `selection-controller` retains its keys across a refetch rather than
  clearing them, since they are file paths and those survive one, and
  `getSelectedKeysOrdered()` gains an early exit. It stays a walk of
  the list: an index goes stale on any re-sort, re-filter or refetch
  while a file path survives all three, and 3 ms does not buy a
  silently mis-ordered queue insert.
2026-08-12 01:19:04 -04:00
logan 795f40acee perf(frontend): split the routes and warm the chunks on idle
One 1.18 MB chunk containing all 27 views, every one eagerly imported
and side-effect-evaluated before first paint. `index.ts` now holds a
loader table per view and awaits the right chunk before creating the
element. JS evaluated before first paint: 1 480 kB -> 772.9 kB, in 27
chunks instead of one, with the slowest first open of a view at 19 ms
against 21 ms — both halves of the trade, and the second did not get
worse.

Two things it has to get right. `document.createElement` on an
undefined tag yields an inert HTMLElement rather than throwing, so a
missing entry in the table is a blank page and not an error; and
navigations are numbered, so a slow chunk cannot land on top of a
faster navigation. `notification-host`, `inline-notice` and
`confirm-dialog` stay eager on purpose: a failure surface that has to
fetch a chunk before it can speak is not a failure surface, and the
moment it is most needed is the likeliest moment loading one fails.
2026-08-12 01:19:04 -04:00
logan 5fb9a0d246 perf(frontend): add the bound, the lookup and the lazy dialog
Four small modules the views below adopt:

- `lru-map.ts` — a Map re-inserted on read and trimmed from the front.
  `explore-view` never unmounts and its two art caches were plain
  Maps: twenty-four searches retained 20.58 MB and were still
  accelerating, a cover thumbnail being ~27 kB of base64 and an artist
  photo ~128 kB.
- `cache-stats.ts` — a bound has to stay checkable, so caches register
  and `window.__yjCacheStats()` reports entries, retained chars and cap
  in one eval, rather than the next session having to rebuild the
  twenty-four-search reproduction first.
- `track-index.ts` — a WeakMap from the tracks array's identity to a
  Map<FilePath, Track>. Five components turned selected file paths back
  into tracks with `filePaths.map(fp => tracks.find(...))`, so "Select
  all -> Edit tags" at 50 000 tracks blocked the main thread for 3.0 to
  6.3 s. 68 ms after. Keying on the array's identity is safe for the
  same reason the memoized filter caches are, and it is collected for
  free when the store drops the array.
- `lazy-track-details.ts` — one memoised dynamic import, because
  `track-details` (42 kB) was imported for side effect by all five
  components that open it and so was evaluated before first paint
  however the routes were split.

logan ca0f724e20 feat(frontend): bundle the icons so the app works offline
Every <wa-icon> was fetched from ka-f.fontawesome.com at runtime —
confirmed from `performance.getEntriesByType('resource')`, 36 requests
— so offline the app had no icons at all. `setBasePath()` does not
affect the icon resolver; only the component autoloader reads it.
Overriding Web Awesome's `default` icon library fixes all 165 call
sites without changing one of them. Cross-origin requests at startup:
22 -> 0.

Three things about it are load-bearing. The set is Font Awesome Free
(CC BY 4.0, vendored with its licence by `scripts/fetch-icons.mjs`)
because the kit CDN serves Pro, which cannot be redistributed. The
names are a committed list rather than anything derived, because
twenty call sites compute their icon name from state and no static
pass can enumerate them. And a name that is not bundled is reported at
runtime to `window.__yjIconMisses` and drawn as a fallback, since a
missing icon used to be impossible — the CDN having had everything.
2026-08-12 01:18:48 -04:00
logan fbf1eff8f6 feat(frontend): give failure one voice
There was no app-level notification surface: two components had grown
private toasts and the other 84 catch blocks ended at console.error,
so a user with a moved file, a locked database or an offline network
saw a button that did nothing. Where errors did surface, eight sites
printed the raw Go string.

Four levels, chosen by the call site from one rule — a failure is only
worth interrupting for if the user can do something about it that they
are not already doing: Blocking (data at risk), Persistent (something
asked for that did not happen, worth retrying), Transient (a small
action whose state visibly reverted anyway), Inline (rendered in the
panel that failed).

Three things about it are load-bearing. Coalescing lives in the store,
keyed by (level, region, key) within a window, so 200 unplayable files
are one message with a count and no future caller has to remember that.
An inline notification carries a *region*, because "inline" says not
global, not where. And the bottom band belongs to the player, so the
app-level stack sits under the header — the player's own floating
notice grows upward by however many lines it needs.

`utils/describe-error.ts` maps the causes a user can act on to copy;
`explainError` repeats a backend message when it is one of our own
sentinels rather than a Go wrapping chain, since mapping "a library
with that name already exists" to something generic is a regression.
`confirmAction()` is a wa-dialog, so destructive actions inherit the
focus trap and Escape the hand-rolled overlays do not have.
2026-08-12 01:18:34 -04:00
logan 7acb197daf feat(frontend): give a cached view a lifecycle and a keyboard owner
`index.ts` caches primary views and hides them with a class so
scrollTop survives navigation. Nothing else was told: `disconnectedCallback`
never fires for one, so everything written to clean up there never
cleans up. The worst case was not a leak — pressing `s` on Settings
skipped two albums out of the Autotag queue, and `a` on that same live
handler rewrites tags on disk.

- `utils/view-lifecycle.ts` is the missing half: `viewActivated` /
  `viewDeactivated`, with `listenWhileActive`, `intervalWhileActive`
  and `whileActive` torn down on the way out, and an off-screen view
  that does not render. `registerViewAware` gives a shared reactive
  controller the same treatment, because a controller cannot know
  whether its host is a cached view — `ContextMenuController` bound
  three document listeners in `hostConnected`, which for a cached host
  is "forever".
- `services/shortcut-scope.ts` publishes the ambient scope. Resolving
  scope from focus alone was not enough: this app is driven with the
  mouse, focus sits on `<body>`, and a focus-only rule would have made
  the panel keys work only after a click landed inside the panel.
- Global bindings yield to a focused control that owns the key —
  button, select, slider, checkbox, menu, grid row, or anything inside
  an open dialog — so the unmodified single-key bindings stop stealing
  Space and the arrows.
- `utils/roving-grid.ts` gives a card grid one tab stop moved with the
  arrows, since a card per tab stop makes a library-length tab
  sequence.

logan 9e0e4d5bb8 perf(library): resolve album and genre file paths in one query
"Play this artist" awaited `GetAlbumTracks` inside a for loop — 13
sequential round trips for a 12-album artist — and every one of the
four sites doing that asked for whole track rows to read `FilePath`
off them. Five genres cost 6 MB across the IPC.

`GetFilePathsByAlbums(ids, libraryID)` and `GetFilePathsByGenres(names,
libraryID)` answer once and carry only the paths. Measured at 50 000
tracks: an artist 13 calls / 74.2 kB -> 2 / 19.2 kB, twenty albums
20 / 117.5 kB / 7.8 ms -> 1 / 26.0 kB / 1.7 ms, five genres
5 / 6 014 kB / 213 ms -> 1 / 1 291 kB / 32.6 ms, with the returned path
lists identical.

They return the paths grouped by album id or genre name rather than
flattened, because the caller owns the order — an album list is sorted
by name, not by id, and a flattened result would silently reorder a
queue — and because the album drag cache stores them per album. A
libraryID of 0 means "every library", matching an unset filter.

logan 952c25c3d3 feat(jobs): register the autotag apply, and ask before quitting
The apply was a bare goroutine whose progress lived in a component
field discarded on navigation, with no cancel and no record of where
it stopped if the app quit while it was rewriting tags — beside a
registry that gives every other long-running operation exactly those
things.

`jobs.KindAutotagApply` now carries progress, a cancel wired to the
apply's context, and a terminal state that tells cancelled from
failed. `OnBeforeClose` returns false unconditionally today; it now
asks while a file-writing job is in flight.

Still not durable: quitting cancels cleanly but nothing records where
it stopped for the next launch. That belongs with the deferred
download/jobs work.

logan 55aa3ea5b0 feat(events): add the position, playback-failure and play-count events
Three events the frontend had no way to learn about:

- `PlaybackPositionChanged` carries `player.PositionInfo`, so the seek
  bar can render what the player is doing instead of counting seconds
  itself.
- `PlaybackFailed` carries the file and the reason, from both the load
  and the play path, so a track that will not play stops being a
  silent no-op.
- `TrackPlayCountChanged` carries everything needed to patch one track
  in place. `TrackMetadataChanged` means "the tags on disk were
  rewritten" and costs the frontend its entire library cache; finishing
  a track used to emit it.

An event's cost is part of its meaning, and the expensive one must not
be reused for something cheap.

logan ff687f0bd9 feat(home): populate the home page with start-listening shelves
The sidebar had a Home item that fell through to "Coming soon". What
was missing was not another view of the library — four of those exist,
sorted and complete — but the opposite: a complete, sorted library is
exactly what gives you nothing to play, because every entry point into
it is alphabetical and identical every time you open the app.

So a shelf is a *reason*, not a filter. Each one answers a different
question you might be asking when you do not know what you want (what
was I listening to, what is new, what do I keep coming back to, what
have I forgotten, what fits, what would I never pick myself) and each
says which question it answered — a row of covers with no explanation
is just another grid.

Two consequences run through it. Shelves are built from what the user
actually did — play counts, last played, import order — with random
sampling only where there is no signal to use, so randomness is the
fallback rather than the design. And a shelf with nothing behind it is
omitted instead of rendered empty: a fresh library legitimately gets
three, and an empty row labelled "on repeat" would be a lie.

The queries return album ids and nothing else, joined back to
GetAllAlbumsWithDetails in Go, so the album projection keeps having one
definition rather than one per shelf.

logan 62bb40fc4d fix(download): make "check now" actually check now, and say what it did
The button ran a normal reconcile pass, which honours each request's
retry backoff — so a request searched an hour ago was not due, nothing
was searched, and the button looked broken. The backoff is a promise to
the providers, not to the user: a person pressing "check now" *is* the
schedule, so a user-initiated pass ignores it and the loop still does
not.

"Nothing happened" also needed a reason. Summary now carries how many
requests are still being looked for and whether any download client is
enabled at all, which is the one cause of silence the user can fix —
and the requests tab says so above the list rather than leaving an
inert list to be interpreted.

The rest is the retry schedule finally being admitted to: rows show
when the next check falls due, "Looking for" explains that a request
sitting there is waiting rather than failing, and the page header says
how often the list is worked.

logan ba35858208 feat(explore): say whether a page is the catalog or your own copy
The album and artist pages draw from two sources and rendered
identically either way. An album showing one track because that is all
you own was indistinguishable from an album that has one track, and
both were indistinguishable from a page still waiting on a background
catalog fetch — so the answer to "is more coming?" was to keep
reloading and find out.

<catalog-scope-notice> names the source in one line: silent for full
catalog data, "still loading" while a fetch may land, "library only"
for an entity with no MBID (which will never fill in, so it points at
Autotag), and a retryable notice when the catalog had nothing to say.

Both pages needed a new distinction to drive it. loadingReleases and
its artist-side equivalents mean "something is renderable", which a
library stand-in satisfies — so catalogPending/catalogLoaded track the
different question of whether the catalog has actually answered.

Also fixes the artist page clobbering its library-hydrated discography
with an empty catalog result. An empty BrowseReleaseGroups means the
index has not built this artist yet, not that they released nothing.

logan 7c3c0e25b9 fix(ui): make every track, album and artist name navigate somewhere
A name linked only when the entity carried an MBID — and for tracks,
only when it carried two. That rule is invisible, so a track list read
as randomly broken: some titles were clickable, most were not, and
nothing on screen said why.

A name now always goes somewhere. Tagged entities open their
MusicBrainz page as before; untagged ones open the *library* page for
the same album or artist, which both detail views already support via
a local id — they just had no caller passing one. An untagged track
highlights by title, since a recording MBID is exactly what it lacks.

Links now fire on a genuine single click only. Every list these appear
in also plays a row on double-click, and the title is the widest thing
in the row, so the first click of that gesture lands on the link:
navigating immediately meant double-clicking a track title opened a
page instead of playing it, which the e2e playback suite caught. The
navigation is held for one double-click interval and dropped if the
second click arrives, while the dblclick itself is left to bubble to
the row — so rows do not need to know links exist.

logan 0ca37a31a6 fix(player): show mute in the volume indicator
Muting does not change the volume level, and VolumeChanged carried
nothing but that level — so pressing M silenced playback and left the
indicator showing the volume it still had. The UI had nothing to react
to.

Mute rides on its own event rather than widening the volume payload,
since the two are genuinely independent: a muted player at 40% is a
different state from a player at 0%, and only one of them comes back
when you unmute. The icon crosses out and dims, and the popup gains an
explicit Mute/Unmute so the keyboard shortcut is not the only way in.

MuteToggle also now takes the speaker lock (it was mutating the effects
chain from outside it) and refuses politely rather than dereferencing a
nil streamer when nothing has been loaded yet.

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.

yonluandClaude Sonnet 5 65333857e2 refactor(download): rename Want/Request to Request/Download, unify downloads flow, add auto-download guardrails
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m2s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 7s
The durable "I asked for this" record was called Want, and the one-shot
search-and-grab attempt was called Request — names that didn't match
what either actually did. Want is now Request, and the old Request/Item
is now Download/DownloadItem, with a table-rename migration
(download_wants -> download_requests, old download_requests ->
download_downloads) safe against both fresh installs and existing data.

Every anchored manual download now upserts/reuses a durable Request
before running, so a "download now" that finds nothing is picked up by
the background reconciler automatically instead of just failing with
no trace — the gap that caused this session's repeated "no candidates
found" failures on the same album.

Also adds auto-download guardrails (file-size min/max with a preferred
target, allowed file types) that gate what the pipeline may grab
unattended, live-editable from a new settings section. The frontend's
wanted-view becomes downloads-view, with a new Downloads tab showing
attempt/transfer history that previously had no UI at all.

yonluandClaude Sonnet 5 cbd82a5a74 feat: autotag mixed-bag splitting, search relevance fixes, and multi-library download imports
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m2s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 7s
Autotag: detect "junk drawer" folders with no artist/album consensus
and split them into synthetic per-cluster groups instead of forcing
one match on an unrelated pile of tracks; repair tagging_items rows
left behind by a prior scan orphan-cleanup gap.

Explore: fix an exact artist-name search being drowned out by its own
catalog entries in intent-prior scoring, and prune stale in_library
bookkeeping left behind when a referenced library row is deleted.

Download: fix a multi-library regression where every import failed
with "no library root configured" — the importer resolved the
library root from a legacy single-library config field that nothing
populates in the current multi-library model. It now resolves the
destination library per-request from the request's own library_id.
Also widen the Soulseek search window (12s -> 20s), measured against
real request history to be missing available peers on live queries.

yonluandClaude Sonnet 5 e190fd75b9 feat: data lifecycle rewrite, download clients, wanted list, and central catalog index
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m12s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 2h22m28s
Ships the fresh-start schema cleanup: rebuilt explore catalog index
pipeline (dump import, artifact fetch/build, incremental listen-count
refresh), a new download subsystem (Lidarr/Prowlarr/qBittorrent/SABnzbd/
slskd/yt-dlp providers, staging, reconciliation, wanted list), and the
supporting schema/query/store changes across backend and frontend.

Also includes two smaller follow-ups: bump the central index's
rebuild-after cadence from 90 to 180 days, and remove the Explore
"library only" online/offline toggle entirely (frontend-only, no
backend counterpart) rather than carry unused UI/state.
