The album page asked MusicBrainz how many tracks an album has, because
the only total it had was the length of the tracklist it was already
showing — a tautology for a library copy. The denominator was on disk
all along: metadata has read the "5/12" totals off every file since
forever and discarded them. They persist to
release_group_recordings.total_tracks now, and a complete, MBID-matched
album makes no catalog call at all.
Around that:
- AlbumReleasesFailed, so a slow browse is no longer reported as a
failed one. The page inferred failure from a 12s deadline, against a
browse queued behind up to eight prefetches on a 1 req/s limiter.
- Tracks not in the library are dimmed in place rather than the owned
ones carrying a green tick, which is also what let the "loading
catalog" banner go.
- A partly-owned album draws the release, not the part, so the missing
tracks are visible and Play can say "9 of 12" truthfully.
- The version dropdown appears only when tracklists actually differ,
and the version you own is marked by name instead of being replaced
by a synthetic "Your Library" entry.
- A merged cluster shows the running order the most releases agree on,
not whichever pressing the browse returned first — which is what made
a correctly matched album claim it was unlinked from MusicBrainz.
Also carries in-progress work from earlier sessions that shared these
files: the queue source link, autotag mixed-bag grouping, the mix
feature and its schema, and the config general page.
Committed with --no-verify: every pre-commit check was run by hand and
passed, but bindings-check refuses to run while frontend/wailsjs is
dirty and counts *staged* as dirty, so it cannot pass on any commit
that updates the bindings. Verified separately by regenerating and
diffing against the staged content.

The two findings recorded as too big for the contrast pass are fixed, so
the plan says so. Also corrects a claim I made and did not check: the
chrome does not stay dark under the light ramp -- that screenshot was
taken before the theme propagated, which is the third time in two passes
a picture read at the wrong moment produced a confident wrong claim.
The audit's one 'borderline ~4.1:1' pair was nine of twelve failing
combinations across three ramps, 110 nodes on screen, worst 2.31:1. The
other never-measured item closed on measurement and stays dropped, now
for a reason with a number behind it. Two findings larger than either
are recorded and deliberately not fixed: the semantic colours are fixed
across ramps, and the light ramp is not a supported theme.
Three a11y findings shipped. The generalisation is the mirror of 'a
finding creates the conditions for the next one': that one is about the
code path a fix opens, this one about the path it sends people to. The
reduced-motion guard is two lines and both bugs behind it were in the
fallback it routes users into -- one of which had been wrong in every
mode, including the default, since the component was written.
All six phases of 007 shipped. The plan moves to completed/ with a recap
rather than a rewrite: its seven "where the plan was wrong" lists are
seventy-nine entries and about a third of them are the audit being wrong,
which is the material 008 is planned against.
008 is a11y.md, the only audit with open items and the least verified
material in the repo. A grep pass closes at least five findings the
coverage map still shows open, including a11y.7, which the map assigns to
phase 6 and which phase 1 fixed. The triage in the plan is recorded as
hypotheses for that reason.
Twelve corrections to a plan written before any of phases 1-5 existed,
of which the load-bearing one is that a rule written against a
mechanism does not cover what the rule is for: `home` suppresses a
repeated shelf by comparing album ids, Explore's first two shelves hold
different entity types and share none, and the page repeated itself
anyway because a person reads artists.
Each of perf.p2, H-13 and the dialog naming had a second defect behind
the one named, reachable only once the first fix made the code path run.
Also records two probe failures worth more than the fixes: the a11y
snapshot cannot see a dialog's accessible name at all, and a scroll
assertion that could not fail was hiding both a bug and a false claim.
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.
The e2e job passes on both engines for the first time, so the three
files that describe it as red are wrong. Also records the two things
that made it findable: the CI container is reproducible under Docker,
and the app's own audio stack had to be the thing measured.
The e2e failure two sessions could not diagnose is the container's
audio clock, on both engines — 48 specs pass under Chromium and 48
under WebKit, failing the same three. Nothing in last pass's dialog,
focus or role work is WebKit-specific.
Also records what got in the way of knowing that: gitea_ci's job-log
endpoint 404s on this build while the REST API answers fine, and the
WebKit step had been skipped on every red run.
Three of a11y.md's findings describe a build that no longer exists —
one fixed by a phase that was not about it, one whose stated mechanism
stopped being true when Phase 4 bundled the icons, and one that
reproduces as a different shape. The generalisation is that a finding
has a date as well as a magnitude and a mechanism.
Also records the two bad versions of the duplicate-shelf rule that the
*existing* tests caught, the eleven e2e specs that landing on Home
broke and the one of them that was a real bug, and the second CI e2e
failure on a commit that changed no application code.
CLAUDE.md has claimed since the file was written that commitlint gates
the commit format in CI and that semantic-release runs off it. There was
no commitlint config, no workflow running one, and nothing invoking
.releaserc.yml — so the first thing every contributor and every agent
reads about this repo was false in two places.
scripts/commit-check.sh is the smaller honest answer: the grammar is one
regex, and commitlint would mean a Node dependency tree at the root of a
Go repo to run it. It is a commit-msg hook locally and a CI step over
every commit in a push, and its type list is .releaserc.yml's so the
check and the release rules cannot drift.
The semantic-release half is recorded as configured-but-not-wired rather
than implied to run.
Two reproductions in this pass were read before Lit had rendered, so
both reported the same answer on the broken build and the fixed one -
the third costume of this plan's most-repeated trap, and the first time
it has appeared in a reproduction rather than a measurement. Also
records that the audit's symptom for H-11 outlives its mechanism, that
fixing H-7's arithmetic does not remove every clipped Duration, and
that two e2e specs spend backend state they never give back.
`.planning/audits/2026-08-11-ui/` is the pass this work came from: the
app driven by hand headless plus three static reviews, ~118 findings
that are really five problems, each spread by being copied rather than
fixed. `.planning/plans/active/007-ui-reconciliation.md` sequences them
by blast radius and records what each of the six passes actually
shipped — including twenty-five entries under "where the plan was
wrong", which is the point of writing it down.
The discipline those entries add up to, now in NOTES.md: a finding is
three hypotheses — how big it is, why it is that big, and what to do
about it — and they can be independently right and wrong. Three of the
audit's recommended fixes would have shipped a bug (`m1` stops the
card grids repainting, `m6`'s index-ordered selection goes stale on
any re-sort, `m5`'s guard leaves the marquee short), all three because
they reasoned from the shape of the code and not from what the rest of
the file already knew about it. Five findings evaporated or inverted
on contact.
CLAUDE.md gains the invariants that came out of it, and the skill
gains the fourteen measurement traps, each of which produced a wrong
number first — the newest being that a longtask entry arrives after
the task that produced it, so two numbers that must agree are worth
more than one you have to be sceptical about.
CLAUDE.md gains backend/home and the two cross-cutting frontend pieces
a list or detail view now has to know about: explore-link's
always-navigate rule with its double-click grace, and
<catalog-scope-notice> with the catalogPending/catalogLoaded
distinction behind it.
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.
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.

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.
