GetTracks answered with one JSON object per track: 20.5 MB at 26k
tracks, ~350 bytes a row of repeated key names, four cover URLs that
are identical across an album, and the album, artist and genre strings
repeated on every track. Encoding it was ~170 MB of transient Go
allocation, and parsing it the WebView's memory peak.
GetTrackTable replaces it: one array per column, every repeated
string stored once and sent as an index, genre lists interned, and only
the fields the Tracks view reads. LastPlayed and the three larger cover
tiers are left to the details dialog, which now fetches whole tracks by
path. Each row still goes through trackFromRow, so this is an encoding
of the one projection, not a second one. 167 bytes a track against 929
in the test library; a Go test holds it under a quarter of the object
encoding, and a Vitest test reads the Go columns and the generated
Track interface and fails if they drift.
An empty library is now an empty table rather than the "no tracks in
library" error the old binding returned.
Closes#281
`queueSixAndOpen` filters the queue down to tracks that have an album,
because `explore-link` renders a name it cannot route as plain text and
one test clicks that name. The filter is right and unchanged; the
comment explaining it named the wrong two files.
Since #104 read a WAV's `id3 ` chunk, the two tracks under `Field
Recordings/Test Tones` are tagged, scanned and ordinary. Asked of a
seeded app rather than of the comment, exactly two tracks in the
fixture library have no album: `unsorted/no-tags-at-all.mp3` and
`unsorted/title-only.mp3`.
The clause saying which change made the old names wrong is there so the
next reader does not restore them.
Closes#217
`queue-selection`'s name-click test failed on main on both engines,
having passed in its own PR and in two consecutive local suite runs. I
added it in #152; this is my defect and it had main red.
It staged a queue from the first few rows of `GetTracks(0)` and clicked
a track *name*, which `explore-link` routes to that track's **album**
page. Four tracks in the fixture library have no album — `01 Tone A`,
`02 Tone B`, `Title Only`, `no-tags-at-all` — and a name with nothing
to route to renders as plain text rather than as a link.
Which tracks arrive first is `audio_files.id` order, which is the order
the *scan* inserted them, which depends on concurrency and directory
traversal. Locally the first eight are all from two proper albums; CI
rebuilds its seed with a real scan and got a different eight. The
fixture had a requirement it did not state, so the queue now asks for
tracks that have an album.
A loose locator is what turned that into a mystery rather than a
message. The row was located with `.explore-link` and `first()`, and a
row has two — title and artist. With the title as plain text, `first()`
silently resolved to the *artist* link, so the click went somewhere
real and the assertion was about a destination the test had never
exercised. It names `.track-title .explore-link` now.
Reproduced before fixing, by staging the CI condition deliberately: a
no-album track at row 2 fails the test in 30s on this machine, and the
filtered fixture passes in 752ms.
The Direction's sweep found one other spec slicing `GetTracks` —
`queue-reorder`, which asserts on order alone and needs no property of
the tracks it gets, so it is left as it is.
Closes#156
Single click selects, ctrl and shift extend, double click plays from
that row — all four already worked, and nothing in either tier pinned
any of them, which is why the report could be made and could not be
settled. `queue-reorder.spec.ts` covers the keyboard and
`queue-overlay.spec.ts` the panel's mode; the pointer path had no
coverage at all, so "selection is broken here" and "selection is fine
here" were equally consistent with a green suite.
Measured with real mouse events rather than dispatched ones, because a
synthetic click aimed at the row bypasses the only thing that could be
swallowing it: click row 1 selects 1, ctrl+click 4 gives 1 and 4,
shift+click 7 extends to 1,4,5,6,7, a plain click collapses to one, and
a double click on row 3 leaves the backend playing row 3.
The three candidates the issue lists are all answered. The repaint was
already correct, and already correct on the day the issue was filed.
`resolveTrackIndexFromEvent` reads data-index, and DOM order matches
data order. A row control does swallow the click — `explore-link` stops
propagation on purpose, so a click on a name navigates and selects
nothing — but a hit-scan across a row makes the queue 12% link against
the track list's 21%, so the panel called broken is *less* covered by
links than the list called correct. That measurement killed the fix
this started out as.
Two traps are written into the spec because both faked a defect while
measuring. Fixture tracks are 2 seconds, so "double click row 3" read a
moment later reports whatever auto-advance moved on to — recorded twice
as an off-by-one that is not one, which is what `LONG_TRACK` exists
for. And the selection assertions are bounded at 500ms rather than
polled with the default 5s: `queue-panel` repaints two ways, the
explicit `requestUpdate()` and a per-render `keyFunction` arrow, and
with *both* removed the highlight still arrives — at 134ms, 3.9s and
5.8s against 5-17ms healthy. Four seconds is indistinguishable from
broken to a user and invisible to a generous poll.
Mutation-tested rather than trusted: `playAtIndex(index + 1)` fails both
double-click tests, treating every click as ctrl+click fails both
selection tests, and removing both repaint mechanisms fails all three
selection tests — the last only because of the bound.
