Plans 013 and 014, the album page that prompted them, and the smaller
fixes they turned up. Changelog, largest first.
## The local library is shaped like files, not like MusicBrainz
`audio_files` carries its own tags and points at `albums` and
`artists`; `file_genres` is the one real many-to-many. `recordings`,
`release_group_recordings`, `artist_credit`, `artist_credit_artist`,
`recording_genres`, `release_groups` and `release_to_rg` are gone from
the local side, and with them a six-way join in every read, a
`MIN(release_group_id)` subquery in eleven queries and a
first-credited-artist subquery in nine. Measured on a real 25,966-file
library, every many-to-many that model expressed was 1:1 in the data.
- Ownership is a file. `GetFilePathsByRecordingMBIDs`,
`LibraryMBIDIndex.CheckMBIDs`, `collectLibraryEntities` and
`pruneStaleLocalCrossReferences` all join `audio_files`, so the 812
orphaned recordings, 216 release groups and 260 artists that library
carried are now structurally impossible.
- One projection: every track query selects from the `track_metadata`
view, one row type, one mapper. Nine hand-rolled copies had drifted
far enough to report different years on different screens.
- `library_id = 0` means every library, so each list query exists once
instead of scoped and unscoped with a branch at every call site.
- No migration chain. `sql/schemas/` is the one description of the
shape; `sql/migrations/`, `applyMigrations` and `schema_migrations`
are squashed away, along with the drift between them that had sqlc
generating against a stale schema.
- `database.InsertTestTrack` is the one test seeder; twenty test files
had been assembling the old FK chain each in its own order.
## The catalog stores its ids as bytes
`explore_index`'s three 36-char MBID columns and its entity-type text
are 16 raw bytes and a small integer. The table and its six indexes go
780 MB to 405 MB on a real 2,052,200-row catalog, which is why a fresh
install is ~0.6 GB rather than ~1.0 GB.
- `backend/explore/mbid.go` is the only place the encoding is known;
everything above it speaks dashed strings.
- `CHECK(length(mbid) = 16)` makes a stringly write fail at the insert
rather than silently returning no rows, since SQLite does not coerce
between TEXT and BLOB.
- The importer asks the artifact what encoding it carries and converts
on the way in, so the artifact already published keeps working and no
format bump is needed.
- `indexRowColumns`/`scanIndexRow` replace four copies of a 22-column
list, and `TestStoredEncodingRoundTrips` sweeps every read path.
## An album page that says how much of the album is yours
- One question, asked once: is there a file. `filePaths` is filled by a
single batched lookup when the tracklist settles, and the badge, the
Play count, the dimmed rows and every menu item read it — replacing
four claims of decreasing confidence that could show a green tick on
an album whose every action did nothing.
- Play, Play 7 of 12, or no play button at all.
- `total_tracks` on `explore_index` (~2 bytes over 400,677 release
groups) and on `audio_files` from tags that have always carried it:
a complete MBID-matched album now makes no catalog call at all, where
it used to spend the most expensive request the app makes.
- A merged cluster shows the running order the most releases agree on,
and the version list marks the release you own rather than standing a
synthetic entry in for it.
- `AlbumReleasesFailed`: a slow fetch is no longer reported as a failed
one by a 12-second timer.
- Rows not in the library are dimmed in place (with `aria-disabled`)
instead of the owned ones wearing a green tick and a legend.
## Caches and cover art get ceilings
- Only the three tiers of a cover are stored; the full-resolution copy
nothing rendered was 1,134 MB of a 1.4 GB covers directory.
- One artist portrait is downloaded and the rest are remembered as
URLs — 4.1 GB of a 5.3 GB cache was candidates no code path reads.
- `browsedArtBudget` and `httpCacheBudget` bound what an age cannot:
the same install held art for 5,770 artists in a 1,301-artist
library.
- `OrphanedArtistImagesJob` joined a bare MBID onto a sharded
directory, so it deleted the rows that were the only record of the
files it left behind. `explore.ArtistImageDir` is that layout's one
definition now.
## The autotag queue asks whether there is work
`tagging_items` was a row per album folder, not a queue, and no query
read the `tag_status` column that held the answer. The four queue
queries ask the files, which matters most where it is least visible:
`startPrefetch` was scoring every album in a tagged library against
MusicBrainz.
## Phantom playlist tracks resolve in place
An M3U8 imported before its files leaves phantom rows; they now match
by path and fall back to position, keep their place in the playlist
when resolved, and pair best-first so two phantoms cannot claim the
same file.
## Playing a track plays the list it is in
Double-click, and Play on a single row's menu, queue the list as
displayed with `startIndex` on that row — the album page and the track
list used to queue one track and discard the album around it. A
multi-row selection still plays exactly itself.

Add a central job registry that library scans and search index builds
report into, so background work is visible instead of buried in the
settings page.
- backend/jobs: registry with per-job ring-buffer logs, capability-driven
controls, and one coalesced JobsChanged snapshot at 4Hz
- pause survives restart via a job_state table; a paused scan is adopted
back on launch and skipped by the soft scan
- top-bar indicator, popover, details drawer and a Jobs page replacing
the config page's scan UI; per-library start/stop retained
- scan timing breakdown moves into the job log, Full rescan to the Jobs
page; delete the orphaned library-manager component
Also add cmd/indexbuild and cmd/indexexport so the explore index can be
built once centrally rather than by every install, which today streams
~205GB from the ListenBrainz spark dump on first run. indexbuild picks
build/refresh/rebuild from index state; the Gitea workflow runs it on
push, weekly, or manually and publishes only when content changed.
fresh-install no longer defaults YJ_HOME under /tmp: it is tmpfs on most
distros, and the import needs ~6GB of real disk.

Go's error interface has no exported fields, so json.Marshal produced
{} for the error message. Converting to string at the addWarning call
site preserves the actual error text in the JSON payload.
Task 1: Schema, events, and progress types
- Add library_id to CreateAudioFile SQL INSERT and regenerate sqlc code
- Add LibraryScanQueued and LibraryScanQueueDrained event constants
- Regenerate TypeScript events via genevents
- Add LibraryID, LibraryName, QueuedCount to ScanProgress
- Add LibraryID, LibraryName to ScanMetrics
- Add libraryID field to importResult for threading through pipeline
Task 2: Scan queue coordinator and per-library scanning
- Create scan_queue.go with ScanLibrary(id), ScanAllLibraries()
- Add CancelCurrentScan(), CancelAllScans() for queue-aware cancellation
- FIFO scan queue with silent dedup (same library already scanning or queued)
- Refactor Scan() -> scanInternal(libraryID, libraryName, libraryPath)
- Replace GetAllAudioFiles with GetAudioFilesByLibrary for per-library loading
- Thread libraryID through DB writer to set CreateAudioFileParams.LibraryID
- drainQueue auto-starts next queued library or emits LibraryScanQueueDrained
- Pause freezes current scan AND queue
- Add GetScanQueueLength() and QueuedLibraryNames() for UI
- Mark CancelScan() and Scan() as deprecated
- Add LibraryScanCancelled, LibraryScanPaused, LibraryScanResumed events
- Regenerate frontend/src/events.ts via go generate
- Add Cancelled bool field to ScanMetrics struct
Add live progress reporting during library scans:
- Pre-walk count: fast WalkDir to count audio files upfront for
percentage calculation (~1-2s overhead)
- Progress ticker: emits ScanProgress events every 300ms with
phase, file counts (added/skipped/updated), and total
- Phase labels: counting → scanning → thumbnails → orphans
- Frontend: progress bar with percentage, file counts breakdown,
and phase indicator in both config-page and library-manager
Replaces the static 'Scanning...' text with a live progress bar
showing e.g. '62% — Scanning... 1,247 / 2,013 files (891 new,
356 skipped)'
- Add ScanWarning struct with FilePath/Phase/Err to ScanMetrics
- Add mutex-protected addWarning method for concurrent use
- Reclassify walk, extraction, commit, orphan, variant, FTS failures as warnings
- Update commitBatch to return only fatal tx.Commit errors
- Update cachedLinkArtist to check errors via database.IsUniqueViolation
- Update handleConfigUpdate to capture and log scan warning count
