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.
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.
Smart playlists now evaluate and snapshot their rules at creation time
instead of only lazily on first open, so the playlist list can show a
real track count in place of the "Smart" label. A one-time idempotent
startup sweep backfills snapshots for smart playlists created before
creation-time materialization existed.

Views with contain:layout in shadow DOM need explicit height:100%
on :host so their internal flex layout fills the parent's flex
space. Without it, the component doesn't know its height and the
internal content doesn't stretch to fill the panel.
Added height:100% to: cover-grid, artists-view, genres-view,
playlist-view, track-list, config-page (also box-sizing).
explore-view and detail views already had it.
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
- contain: layout style on :host of all 6 scroll-heavy components
- contain: paint + will-change: transform on all scroll containers for GPU compositing
- content-visibility: auto + contain-intrinsic-size on .album-card for off-screen skip
- cover-grid, track-list, queue-panel, artists-view, genres-view, playlist-view
- Add handleSelectAll bound handler calling selection.selectAll() in all three components
- Register/unregister event listeners in connectedCallback/disconnectedCallback
Move search indicator from absolute-positioned overlay into sort toolbar
(or dedicated search-bar-row for artists/genres views). Shows indicator
on empty-state screens. Fix cover art not displaying for expanded album
tracks by checking expandedAlbumId before the albumName guard. Add
ScanWarning model bindings.

- Add pinDefault getter and setPinDefault to favorites-controller
- Update sortedEntries in playlist-view to pin default playlist to top
- Add Pin to Top toggle in config page Favorites section
- Add Wails bindings for GetPinDefaultPlaylist/SetPinDefaultPlaylist
- React to PinDefault in FavoritesConfigChanged event payload
- Replace static list icon with conditional: favorites icon for default playlist, nothing for others
- Reduce playlist-body left padding from 42px to 32px for tighter alignment without icon
- Add 'set-default' case in onPlaylistContextAction handler
- Add wa-dropdown-item with star icon in single-select guard block
- Option only appears when right-clicking a single playlist
- Update handlePlaylistContextMenu to respect multi-selection on right-click
- Make onPlaylistContextAction async with batch delete support
- Show 'Delete N Playlists' in context menu when multiple playlists selected
- Hide 'Rename' option when multiple playlists are selected
- Clear playlist selection after any context action completes
- Add selectedPlaylists Set and lastSelectedPlaylistIndex for multi-select state

- Wire header click to new handler with selected class in template
- Wails bindings reflect new PlaylistFilePicker and ImportPlaylists signatures
- Frontend handleImportPlaylist now passes file array to ImportPlaylists
