build(frontend): sweep every stylesheet, not index.css by name

The hook fires on frontend/**/*.{ts,css} while the script read one hardcoded path, so a second stylesheet would have been silently unswept while the hook still went green over it. There is only index.css today, which is exactly when this is cheap to fix. Watched catching a planted nested rule in a second file.

+description: Take on the next actionable backlog issue end to end, and stop
+---
+Take on exactly one issue from the YellowJacket backlog, end to end, and stop.
+
+Repo: yonlu/yellowjacket at https://git.ljones.me — API base
+https://git.ljones.me/api/v1/repos/yonlu/yellowjacket, auth with
+`-H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN"`. Default branch is `main`.
+
+## 1. Orient before you pick
+
+Read, in this order: `CLAUDE.md` (the architecture and the reasons behind
+it), `.pi/journal.md` (what happened last), `.planning/NOTES.md` (what was
+already considered and rejected), and `.planning/plans/active/`. Do not skip
+this because the issue looks small — most of this codebase's traps are
+written down in exactly one of those four places, and the ones that bite are
+the ones you didn't read.
+
+## 2. Pick the issue
+
+List open issues. Choose the single highest-value one that is *actionable
+right now*:
+
+- Order by `Priority/Critical` → `High` → `Medium` → `Low`. Within a tier,
+  prefer `Reviewed/Confirmed`, then `Kind/Bug` over `Kind/Enhancement` over
+  `Kind/Feature`.
+- Consult issue #73 (the roadmap) — if it sequences the candidates, that
+  ordering wins over the label ordering.
+- **Skip** anything labelled `Status/Blocked`, `Status/In Progress`,
+  `Status/Abandoned`, `Reviewed/Won't Fix`, `Reviewed/Duplicate`,
+  `Reviewed/Invalid`, or already carrying an open PR.
+- **Skip anything someone else is already on.** The label is not the only
+  claim, because a concurrent session may not have applied it — several pi
+  sessions run against this repo from separate worktrees under
+  `~/.paseo/worktrees/`. Run `git ls-remote --heads origin` and skip any
+  issue whose number or slug matches an existing branch (`60-…`,
+  `fix/<slug>`). A duplicated fix costs more than a skipped issue.
+- **Skip** anything that cannot be verified without hardware you do not
+  have: physical-device Android behaviour (audio output, on-device file
+  writes, real gesture input). A browser at 424px is not a phone — see the
+  Chrome 113 section of `CLAUDE.md`.
+- **Skip** intermittent-failure issues unless you can reproduce the failure
+  on demand within a few minutes. Chasing a 1-in-3 flake is an unbounded
+  task and does not belong in a scheduled run.
+- If nothing qualifies, say so, do nothing, and stop. An empty run is a
+  correct outcome.
+
+## 3. Claim it
+
+Add `Status/In Progress` to the issue and comment that you are picking it
+up. Then branch:
+
+```
+git fetch origin && git checkout -b <type>/<short-slug> origin/main
+```
+
+`<type>` matches the issue's `Kind` (`fix/`, `feat/`, `refactor/`, `test/`,
+`docs/`, `ci/`). Branch from `origin/main`, never by checking out `main`
+itself — this repo is worked from several git worktrees at once and `main`
+is checked out in one of them, so `git checkout main` fails outright.
+
+## 4. Do the work
+
+Fix the issue that was reported and nothing else. Match the surrounding
+code's style. Follow the constraints in `CLAUDE.md` rather than reasoning
+from first principles — where it explains why something is shaped the way it
+is, that shape is load-bearing and there is usually a test pinning it.
+
+**Anything else you discover becomes a new issue, not a bigger diff.** File
+it with the right `Area/`, `Kind/`, `Priority/` labels, describe the
+symptom before the theory, and link it from your PR. Scope creep is the
+failure mode this instruction exists to prevent.
+
+If the work turns out to be materially larger than the issue implied, stop:
+comment on the issue with what you found and what it would actually take,
+remove `Status/In Progress`, push nothing, and end the run.
+
+## 5. Verify — the right tier, not the cheapest one
+
+Run `make generate` if you touched `.sql` or `.templ`, and `make bindings`
+if you changed a bound Go signature. Then run what the change actually
+demands:
+
+- Go change → `make lint` and `make test` (both cover all three build
+  configurations).
+- Frontend component or store → `make ui-test`.
+- User-visible flow → `make e2e` against `make dev-headless`. **Check the
+  port first**: `ss -ltn | grep 34115`. If it is occupied, another worktree
+  is already running the app — do not start a second one and do not run
+  `make e2e`. Attaching to someone else's build produces a green result
+  about code that is not yours, which is worse than no result. Either
+  choose an issue that does not need this tier, or stop and say why.
+- Anything cosmetic or layout-related → look at a screenshot. Several bugs
+  in this repo's history were invisible to every assertion and obvious in an
+  image.
+
+A tier you skipped is a claim you did not check. If a tier fails for reasons
+unrelated to your change, say so explicitly rather than quietly moving on.
+
+## 6. Keep the documentation true
+
+If you changed structure, behaviour, or a constraint, update `CLAUDE.md` in
+the same commit. That file is this project's memory; a change that leaves it
+describing the old shape is worse than no change. Append a short entry to
+`.pi/journal.md` covering what you did, what you verified, and what you left
+open.
+
+## 7. Commit and open the PR
+
+Conventional Commits, imperative subject, ≤72 chars, scope optional. The
+body explains *why*. Push the branch — never push to `main`, never
+force-push.
+
+Open the PR:
+
+```
+curl -sS -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  https://git.ljones.me/api/v1/repos/yonlu/yellowjacket/pulls \
+  -d '{"head":"<branch>","base":"main","title":"<subject>","body":"<body>"}'
+```
+
+The body states: what the issue was, what you changed and why, **which
+verification tiers you ran and their results**, anything you deliberately
+did not do, and `Closes #<n>`.
+
+Then wait for CI (`ci.yml`, jobs `check` and `e2e`) and report the result on
+the PR. If it fails, read the log — `gitea_ci`'s `job_logs` 404s on this
+Gitea build, so use
+`GET /api/v1/repos/yonlu/yellowjacket/actions/runs/<run>/jobs` for per-step
+status and `GET /api/v1/repos/yonlu/yellowjacket/actions/jobs/<id>/logs` for
+the log — and fix it. Two consecutive failed CI runs on the same cause: stop,
+comment what you know on the PR, and leave it for a human.
+
+**Do not merge.** Comment on the issue linking the PR, leave
+`Status/In Progress` on, and end the run.
+
+## Finally
+
+Report in three lines: which issue you took, what state it is in
+(PR open / CI green / stopped and why), and any issues you filed.

+installs; `APP_ID` in `build/android/Taskfile.yml` was what every
+adb-driven task uninstalled, launched and filtered, and nothing
+enforced that they agree. They did not: the debug buildType carries
+`applicationIdSuffix ".dev"`, so every task that assembles a debug APK
+addressed the release id. This file flagged the hazard for five phases
+and it cashed out twice — once as a wrong `am start`, once as an
+uninstall of the user's library.
+
+**`scripts/android-pkgid.sh` is the one answer now.** It prints the
+package id an APK declares (`aapt2 dump packagename`, falling back to
+`aapt dump badging`), and the deploy path installs and launches *that*.
+The APK is the authority because the task that installs it has just
+built it: whatever Gradle resolved the applicationId to, suffixes and
+flavours included, is in the file, and no default can disagree with it.
+An APK it cannot read is a hard failure, never a fallback to a written
+down default — guessing is the bug.
+
+**`APP_ID` survives as an assertion, not a setting**, and has no
+default. `wails3 task android:run APP_ID=app.yellowjacket` says "this
+build had better declare that id" and is refused, naming both, *before*
+anything is installed or a device is even chosen. It could never have
+been a setting: `ANDROID.md`'s advice to put it in `build/config.yml`
+does not work in beta.8 — `wails3 task` never reads that file (verified
+with `--dry`) — and even when set it fed only the adb commands, never
+Gradle.
+
+`scripts/android-emulator.sh` derives `PKG` the same way, from
+`bin/yellowjacket.apk` when one is built, so `make android-install`,
+`android-launch`, `android-logs` and `android-smoke` follow whichever
+variant is actually in `bin/`. `YJ_ANDROID_PKG` still overrides, and
+the old literal survives only for a tree with no APK built yet.
+
+**The uninstall is gone and is not coming back.** It existed to make
+the bare `install` on the next line work at all — without `-r` Android
+refuses an install over an existing package — so `install -r` removes
+the *reason* for it rather than merely removing it. What is left is the
+one case an uninstall really is the remedy, a changed signing

+**The third such fault was the activity lifecycle** (#52), and it is
+the one to re-check after touching `main()`, `WailsBridge` or
+`MainActivity`. Android destroys and recreates an activity **without
+restarting the process**, and Wails' `nativeInit` — which
+`MainActivity.onCreate` calls — runs `go mainFunc()` every time. So
+Go's `main()` ran again on a live app, `app.Run()` refused (`a.starting`
+is still true behind Android's `select{}`), and the `os.Exit(1)` under
+it took the healthy first app down with it.
+
+### The lifecycle check, and how to trigger it on demand
+
+This is the regression guard for #52 on this tier, because no other
+tier runs `main()` on Android at all. The Go-side guard
+(`TestMainClaimsBeforeItDoesAnything`) catches work creeping above the
+latch; only the device catches the latch not working.
+
+**Trigger a relaunch with a configuration change the manifest does not
+declare.** `AndroidManifest.xml` lists
+`orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden|uiMode`, so those are handled
+in-place and are *not* triggers. `fontScale` is not listed, and it is a
+one-liner:
+
+```bash
+adb shell settings put system font_scale 1.15   # restore the old value after
+```
+
+That is the same in-process destroy/recreate that "Don't keep
+activities", a locale change and a memory trim produce, but on demand.
+
+**"Don't keep activities" is the report's own lever and did not work on
+this device**: `settings put global always_finish_activities 1` reads
+back as `1`, `am set-always-finish-activities` does not exist on this
+build, and the activity was never finished on backgrounding. Do not
+spend an afternoon on it; use the config change.
+
+**The assertion is the pid, and the tell is two bridge inits in one.**
+
+```bash
+adb logcat -d | grep -E "Wails bridge initialized|has died|finishDrawing of relaunch"

+I/ActivityManager: Process app.yellowjacket.dev (pid 22956) has died: fg  TOP
+W/ActivityTaskManager: Force removing ActivityRecord{...}: app died, no saved state
+```
+
+Two things about reading that. **`has died: fg  TOP` is not a memory
+kill** — the system does not reclaim the foreground process, so this is
+the app leaving of its own accord. And there is **no crash record
+anywhere**: `logcat -b crash` is empty, no `AndroidRuntime`, no
+`libc: Fatal signal`, no tombstone. That is the `os.Exit` signature,
+and it is why "the system killed it" is the wrong first hypothesis.
+
+**Surviving is only half of it — check the recreated WebView is still
+wired to the running app.** A plausible-looking fix (making
+`WailsBridge.initialized` static, so the second `nativeInit` is skipped)
+keeps the process alive and silently breaks this, because `nativeInit`
+is also what re-points the JNI reference at the new bridge. Go would go
+on executing JavaScript against the destroyed activity's WebView: the
+app opens, renders, and never receives another backend event.
+
+Ask the page, after a relaunch and a resume:
+

+
+What works is to borrow the bridge, chaining the runtime's own callback
+so its pending calls still resolve:

+
+**The answer to "restore the session or cold-start" is settled by
+playback, not by preference.** The audio lives in the Go process, so a
+cold start on every activity recreation would stop the music mid-song —
+which is the exact thing the foreground service exists to prevent. The
+activity is a view; the app is the process. The frontend already
+cooperates, because a recreated WebView loads the page fresh and fetches
+its state from a backend that never went away.
+
+**Returning early is not a degraded mode, and that is why the latch is
+in Go rather than in Java.** The obvious fix — making
+`WailsBridge.initialized` `static`, so the second `nativeInit` is
+skipped — keeps the process alive and silently breaks the app, because
+skipping `nativeInit` skips the reference re-point too: Go would keep
+executing JavaScript against the *destroyed* activity's WebView, and the
+app would open, render, and never receive another backend event. The
+latch lets `nativeInit` do its first job and declines only its second.
+
+**`ServiceShutdown` has never run on Android**, and nothing should be
+built on the assumption that it will. `App.Quit()` reaches an
+`androidApp.destroy()` that is an empty method, and `Run()`'s deferred
+`shutdownServices()` cannot fire behind `select{}`. Durability on this
+platform is the persist writers, which submit on every mutation rather
+than at exit — which is also why `MainActivity.onDestroy` no longer
+calls `bridge.shutdown()`: the activity going away is not the app
+shutting down, and there is no callback for the process going away
+because Android simply kills it.
+
+**No tier here can see any of this**, so the guard is split. A source
+sweep (`TestMainClaimsBeforeItDoesAnything`) asserts the latch is the
+*first* statement of `main()` — the failure it exists for is not
+deletion, which is loud, but a line creeping in above it, since a second
+`NewYellowJacketApp` opens the SQLite database again on every
+recreation. The rest is a documented device check in
+`.pi/skills/yellowjacket-dev/references/android-tier.md`, with the

+**The row sizing lives in `contextMenuStyles`, not in the component.**
+The panel is the *host's* light DOM — it stays in the host's shadow

+`data-sheet` on the panel and that shared stylesheet does the rest,
+which is how fourteen menus went from 29px rows to 48px ones in one
+edit.
+
+**A dismissal has to travel back.** `wa-dialog` closes itself on

+and the failure mode is not a stuck sheet but the *next* long-press
+doing nothing, which reads as the gesture breaking. `menu-dismiss` is
+that signal; the three surfaces that do not use `ContextMenuController`
+bind it themselves.

+**The playlist submenu is a sheet too, and it had to be.** It is a

+
+Three things about it are load-bearing. **The header is visually hidden
+rather than `display: none`**, because that `h1` is the document's
+top-level heading and several pages have no other one — `page-header`
+renders no `h1` when `heading` is `''`, and Settings has no
+`page-header` at all. Its four *controls* are `display: none` inside it,
+which is what keeps them out of the tab order: a visually-hidden
+container is still focusable, and tabbing into a search box nobody can
+see is worse than not having one. **The fit pass stands down**, from the
+bar's computed `position` rather than from a width — with the bar out of
+flow there is no content box to measure children against, and a pass
+that ran would collapse the wordmark every time and report success about
+a 1px box. And **`top-bar-fit.spec.ts` keeps 390 in its list and asserts
+the stronger property there**: "nothing hangs out of the bar" is
+trivially true of a bar with no row, and would have passed on a build
+that merely broke it, so what that width asks now is that the content
+starts where the row above it ends.
+
+**Above 600px the top bar decides what it can afford, and what it gives
+up is never an action.** Its five children do not fit at the bottom of
+the Compact band: the bar was 611px inside a 600px viewport idle and **862px while
+a scan ran**, because `job-indicator` is `hidden` when idle and 235px
+wide showing a real library's scan title (#143). So `services/
+top-bar-fit.ts` is `page-header`'s treatment one bar up — a
+ResizeObserver, every pass starting from all-visible, hiding the
+lowest-priority child until it fits.
+
+Five things about it are load-bearing.
+
+**It is measured rather than breakpointed for a reason specific to this
+bar**: three of its five children are as wide as their *content* — the
+library filter is a `<select>` sized by the longest library name, the
+indicator by the running job's title, the search box by its view-scoped
+placeholder — so any width picked is right for one library, one job and
+one view. Swept with a long-titled scan staged, the bar overflowed at
+**every** width from 600 to 899 *and* at 900 where `nav-history`
+appears, while 899 fits; a breakpoint fixing "600 to 610" would have
+fixed whichever case happened to be idle when it was measured.
+
+**What yields is decided by the promise above, which rules out the two
+cheapest answers.** Hiding the library filter takes away an action —
+`library-filter` was the only control in the app that called
+`setSelectedLibrary` — so it trades this promise for the same promise.
+That is #148, and #57 fixed it by giving the selection a *second
+placement* rather than a second definition: the same component, in
+Settings → Libraries under a "Showing" label, at every width. A
+phone-only copy was the obvious cheaper answer and is the fault, not the
+fix — "where do I change which library I am browsing" having two answers
+by viewport is exactly what one control in two places avoids.
+Collapsing the search box to an icon is what #57 wanted and #57 was
+blocked behind #62, so building it here would have been building it
+without the thing that blocked it. The two that yield are the two that are **not** actions: the wordmark, which the
+window's own title bar repeats and which #48 wants down to "YJ" at
+every width anyway, and then the job indicator's *label*, leaving the
+ring — which is not a new judgement, since the component already drops
+it below 600px and its `sr-only` live region is what announces the
+state either way.
+
+**The wordmark yields its width, not its existence.** The collapsed
+rule is visually-hidden rather than `display: none`, because that `h1`
+is the document's top-level heading as well as the brand.
+
+**"Fits" is the children against the content box, and `scrollWidth`
+cannot express it.** `scrollWidth` counts a box's left padding and not
+its right, so with 2em gutters it under-reports by 32px: the first fix
+read `700/700` — a perfect fit — with the indicator sitting in the
+whole right gutter. Same family as #69's title trap, and found only
+because `top-bar-fit.spec.ts` measures **per child**, which is what
+`layout-overflow.spec.ts` cannot do and why that spec was green
+throughout the defect.
+
+And **the bar does not resize when a job starts**, which is the case the
+whole thing is for — a ResizeObserver on the header alone never fires,
+so every element child is observed too.
+
+**The bottom bar is three columns whose outer two are the same width,
+and that is what "centred" means.** It was `320px 1fr auto`, so the
+transport sat in the middle of the space the metadata and the queue
+button did not use — its centre was ~140px right of the window's at
+every size (#23). The outer tracks are now the same expression, so the
+middle one is centred by construction rather than by arithmetic that
+has to be redone whenever a control joins the bar.
+
+Four things about it are load-bearing.
+
+**The side width is the metadata's, capped at a quarter of the bar**,
+and the cap is not tidiness — it was measured as a regression first.
+Reserving the full `--now-playing-width` on *both* sides costs the
+transport twice: at 800px the outer pair wanted 640 of 800 and the seek
+bar's track fell from **257px to 61px**, and to 0 at 200% text. The
+control you drag was being squeezed to centre the buttons above it.
+With the cap it is 246px at 800, which is parity with the uncentred
+layout.
+
+**The cap is a `min()` rather than a breakpoint** because
+`--now-playing-width` is *user state* — the metadata panel has a drag
+handle — and the same reasoning the queue panel's overlay mode uses
+applies: a rule that assumed the default 320 would be wrong by whatever
+the user dragged. Tying both sides to that variable is also what keeps
+the handle meaningful; a plain `1fr … 1fr` would centre the transport
+just as well and silently make dragging a no-op.
+
+**The volume moved out of `audio-player` and into the bar** (#42),
+because the transport column has to hold the transport and nothing
+else or "centred" means centred with a slider bolted to one side. It
+lives in `.bar-end` with the queue button — one cell, not two columns,
+since the centring compares *columns* and a separate volume track would
+make the outer pair unequal by whatever the slider measures.
+
+And **the slider is inline by default, with the popup as a setting**
+whose stored flag names the *popup*: `backend/config`'s polarity rule,
+where the zero value has to be the intended answer, so an existing
+`config.toml` with no key gets the new default without a migration.
+Inline, the icon becomes the mute toggle and is named after that action
+rather than after the state, because with the slider beside it there is
+nothing left to disclose. The bar's copy stands down below 600px, which
+is about *room*: five controls and a slider do not fit a 360px bar, and
+`now-playing-view` is where seeking and volume go on a phone.
+
+**Whether there is a volume to control at all is a different question,
+and it is asked of the player** (#64). On Android the hardware keys are
+the volume control and the framework mixes our stream against the
+device level, so `player`'s own level is pinned at maximum, `SetVolume`
+/ `ChangeVolume` / `MuteToggle` are refused, and `volume-control`
+renders `nothing` — in both of its mount points, at every width.
+`mediacontrols`' Android handler implementing no volume callback is the
+same fact one layer down.
+
+Five things about it are load-bearing.
+
+**It could not be a width, and that is not a preference.** Every other
+stand-down rule in this app is keyed on a viewport, because a width is
+what a browser can answer and what every tier can test. This one is a
+property of the build: keyed on width, an Android *tablet* at 600px or
+more draws the bottom bar's slider over a pinned level — a control that
+cannot act, on exactly the platform the rule exists for, which
+`library-status-indicator` already settled is worse than none. The
+same rule is wrong in the other direction below 600px, where a narrow
+desktop window has no hardware keys to fall back on.
+
+**The predicate is named after the capability, not the platform.**
+`SystemOwnsVolume` is what the frontend asks; `platformOwnsVolume` is
+the one build-tagged constant behind it, in two files that declare
+nothing else. That is `mediacontrols`' split with
+`androidpayload.go`'s reasoning: a tagged file is compiled by nothing
+`make lint` or `make test` runs, so everything decidable off a phone is
+decided against `Player.systemVolume`, a field a test sets either way.
+The frontend's absent branch is therefore testable in the component
+tier with a stubbed binding, and the constant itself is covered by a
+source sweep plus, once, a real arm64 device answering `true` — which
+is the only tier that compiles the `android` file at all.
+
+**Mute goes with it, because it is a level of zero by another name** —
+and because with no control rendered it is the one state on such a
+platform the user could not get out of.
+
+**Nothing persists a level nobody chose.** The maximum the player runs
+at is synthetic, so `restoreStateLocked` *remembers* the stored volume
+instead of applying it and `saveState` writes that same value back.
+The alternative — a second query that omits the column — buys nothing
+and is a second write path to keep in step.
+
+**And ducking is untouched, which is what makes the pin safe.**
+`SetDuck` applies its attenuation by re-applying the *user's* level
+through `setVolumeLocked`, so pinning that level to maximum leaves the
+offset arithmetic exactly as it was. It is the only thing that may move
+the output on such a platform, and it is the one volume-shaped path
+that is not refused.
+
+One thing to know before anyone offers to test it on a phone: **the
+duck is unreachable above API 25.** `WailsForegroundService` builds its
+`AudioFocusRequest` without `setWillPauseWhenDucked` from Oreo, so the
+framework attenuates us itself and never sends
+`AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS_TRANSIENT_CAN_DUCK` — a device confirms it by logging
+`requestAudioFocus() … flags=0x0`. `minSdk` is 21, so this is live code
+rather than dead, on Android 5.0 to 7.1 and nowhere else.
+
+**And below 600px that bar carries three controls, not five** (#59).
+Shuffle, repeat and the queue button leave it; what is left is art,
+title/artist, favourite, and prev/play/next. `player-controls` is one
+component in two places and **the context is a property rather than a
+media query**, which is the exception to the rule two paragraphs down:
+on a phone the bar wants three controls and `now-playing-view` wants
+five, larger still, *at the same viewport* — so the host states the
+context and the viewport states the size band, and neither alone can
+express it. Sizes come from `--yj-control-*` custom properties set per
+context; play/pause alone goes above the 44px floor, because a row of
+identical squares says every action is equally likely and that is not
+true of play. Measured before #56: every one of them was **33×21px**,
+and the mini bar's favourite was **18×14**, the smallest control in the
+app.
+
+Four things about it are load-bearing.
+
+**The phone draws three buttons rather than hiding two**, from
+`matchMedia` — `job-band`'s pattern, and the rule that a decision about
+whether an element *exists* is not a stylesheet's to make. A
+`display: none` control is still in the shadow root and still something
+a positional query finds, so "the phone has three controls" would have
+been true of the pixels and false of the element.
+
+**Removing a control is only allowed because it is still reachable.**
+Plan 018's matrix promises no action is unreachable at any supported
+size, and all three are on `now-playing-view`, one tap away through the
+mini player's art. That promise is what `phone-transport.spec.ts`
+asserts — it walks the route — rather than counting buttons.
+
+**So the route to Now Playing must not depend on what is playing**, and
+it did. `now-playing` renders two branches and the no-track one had no
+`.expand` button on its placeholder, so with nothing loaded there was
+no way to the full-screen view — which, once the queue button left the
+bar, made the *queue* unreachable. The queue is persisted across
+restarts, so "tracks queued, nothing playing" is a state the app
+launches into.
+
+**The desktop bar is untouched and a spec says so with a literal.**
+Both issues are `Platform/Android`. The trap is that a `<button>` does
+not inherit its font from its parent — the UA stylesheet gives it one —
+so a generic `font-size: inherit` is not the no-op it reads as: it took
+every desktop button from 33×21 to 36×24, silently. The sizes are
+asserted as `'33x21'` rather than as a range, because the regression
+was three pixels.
+
+**What that bar lost is how far through the song it is, and
+`<player-progress-line>` is where it went** (#58). Plan 016 B2 took the
+seek bar off the phone's transport, so the one thing a mini player is
+expected to say without being opened had nowhere left to be said. It is
+a 2px line on the border between the mini player and the tab bar: the
+**shell's** element and its own `auto` grid row between `bottom-bar`
+and `bottom-nav`, because those two are separate components and either
+one drawing it means reaching into the other's box for two pixels.
+
+Four things about it are load-bearing. **It never counts** — the fill is
+`scaleX()` off the same `PlaybackPositionChanged` the seek bar renders,
+with the same `trackChangeId` and `seq` guards and an interval that is
+stopped and restarted by every report, which is the rule that exists
+because a local clock drifted 30 s away across four keyboard seeks.
+**It is not a control and cannot become one**: `aria-hidden` on the host
+and `pointer-events: none` throughout, because Now Playing's seek bar
+is what announces the position and a 2px strip on the top edge of the
+tab bar is exactly where a thumb aiming at a tab lands. **It renders
+nothing above 600px**, from `matchMedia` rather than a media query, for
+`job-band`'s reason plus one of its own — a stylesheet cannot stop a
+1 Hz interval running for the life of every desktop session about a
+line nobody can see. And **its phone rule sits at the foot of
+`index.css`, beside `job-band`'s**, not in the phone block above: a
+media query adds no specificity, so a `display: block` written before
+the `display: none` that takes it out of the desktop grid loses to it

 only while the overlay is up — it is a dismissal, not a shortcut, which
 is why it is not a panel-scoped binding.
 
+**And an overlaid queue is a place, which is the whole of #55.** The
+pixels were already right: measured at the reference device's 424×439,
+the overlaid panel is 424×318 — `.main-panel`'s rect exactly — so a
+`DETAIL_LOADERS` mount would draw the same rectangle in the same spot.
+What was missing was the navigation model, and the defect was one
+measurement: opening the queue on Artists and pressing back moved the
+page *underneath* to Albums and left the queue up. So opening an
+**overlay** queue dispatches `navigate {view: 'queue'}` and opening a
+**column** sets the attribute as it always did — `utils/open-queue.ts`
+is that one decision, and both routes end at the same `open` attribute
+on the same element.
+
+Five things about it are load-bearing.
+
+**The queue is a screen exactly while it is an overlay**, which is the
+rule above rather than a second one: a column is a thing the user
+docked, so back must not undock it and a navigation must not take it
+away, while an overlay is covering the content and has to answer the
+platform's gesture. That also inherits the *computed, not
+breakpointed* property for free — the panel is drag-resizable, so a
+viewport breakpoint would be wrong by up to 180px.
+
+**It is in neither `VIEW_TAGS` nor `DETAIL_LOADERS`**, because there is
+nothing to mount; the panel is already in the document. That is not
+tidiness. `.main-panel > *` is paint-contained under a `.main-panel`
+that is, and `contain: paint` clips the `position: fixed` a `wa-popup`
+falls back to on the reference device's Chrome 113 (#60) — so the
+detail-view mount asked for in #55's Direction would have broken
+`queue-panel`'s working context menu on the one device the issue is
+about. Measured: the panel's ancestry is `layout style` all the way to
+`body`; a view inside the main panel is `content` under `content`.
+**No tier here can see that consequence** — CI's Chromium and WebKit
+both have the Popover API — so `queue-as-a-screen.spec.ts` asserts the
+*mechanism*, that the panel is not under a paint-contained ancestor.
+
+**A navigation to `queue` deliberately writes neither
+`dataset.activeView` nor `searchStore.setCurrentView`**, because both
+describe what is *in* the main panel and the queue covers that panel
+without replacing it. It publishes itself through `activeViewStore`
+with `isPrimary: false`, so the tab it was opened from stays lit —
+the same rule a detail view gets.
+
+**The entry is unwound from the panel's `open` attribute**, in the
+mutation observer `index.ts` already ran for `aria-expanded`, rather
+than at each of the four ways out. Escape, the scrim, the close button
+and the toggle all take that route, and a fifth added later gets it
+free. Without it the entry is orphaned and the *next* back press is the
+one that closes the queue — the reported defect moved one press later,
+which looks exactly like a press that did nothing.
+
+**And the way out is 44px on a phone.** With the panel spanning the
+whole width the scrim has no uncovered pixels at all, so the close
+button is the only pointer route out of a full-screen surface; it was

+back to `strategy: "fixed"` where there is none — which is Chrome 113,
+the reference device, since `popover` is Chrome 114. `position: fixed`
+escapes ancestor overflow but **not** `contain: paint`, which
+`.main-panel` carries, so a popup-shaped search panel opened from a
+view's header is structurally clipped on that device. `<dialog>` /
+`showModal()` is Chrome 37 and uses the real top layer. **No tier here
+can see the difference** — CI's Chromium and WebKit both have the
+Popover API, so the popup would be top-layered and correct and a spec
+asserting "not clipped" would pass on the broken build. The component
+tier asserts the *mechanism* instead: that there is a native `<dialog>`
+in the tree.
+
+**It carries the real `<search-bar>`**, not a second input, which is
+what keeps one debounce, one clear button and one view-scoped
+placeholder. `--yj-search-max-width` is the one thing the modal changes
+about it: 360px is a cap for a header, not for a control that has the
+whole of a 424px screen.
+
+**The results are the page, not a list in the modal.** The term is
+view-scoped and the view behind already filters on it and says
+"Showing tracks matching …", so Enter closes and hands the screen back.
+Rendering results in the dialog would be a second implementation of
+every view's filtering, and one that could not offer the row actions
+the view does.

+// question about this build; asking "is this a phone" instead would
+// key the answer to a viewport, and an Android tablet at 600px or more
+// would then draw the bottom bar's slider over a level pinned at
+// maximum -- a control that cannot act, which is the thing
+// `library-status-indicator` already settled is worse than none.
+//
+// **Only `platformOwnsVolume` is behind a build tag**, in two files
+// that declare nothing else.  A tagged file is compiled by nothing
+// `make lint` or `make test` runs and is untestable off a phone, which
+// is the reasoning `mediacontrols/androidpayload.go` states for
+// keeping its contract out of one -- so everything decidable here is

+ * while `explore-album-details` itself measured 443 inside a 424px box

+ * needed for the same reason.
+ *
+ * The other half is the scroll: the page was a fixed header over a

+ * owned 253 of the panel's 318px and the list scrolled in the 64 that
+ * were left. It is one scroll container below 600px, which is a

+/**
+ * How far through the song we are, on the border between the mini
+ * player and the tab bar (#58).
+ *
+ * The phone's bottom bar carries three controls and no seek bar — plan
+ * 016 B2 took it out, because 4px of height is not a thumb target and the
+ * full-screen `now-playing-view` is where seeking belongs. What went
+ * with it is the one thing a mini player is expected to say without
+ * being opened: how far through the song it is. This is that, and
+ * only that.
+ *
+ * Four things about it are load-bearing.
+ *
+ * **It is the shell's element, not either bar's.** The mini player and
+ * `<bottom-nav>` are separate components stacked in the shell's grid,
+ * so a line on the border between them is a row of the grid — either
+ * one drawing it means reaching into the other's box for two pixels.
+ *
+ * **It never counts.** The position is pushed at 1 Hz by the backend
+ * (`PlaybackPositionChanged`), and the interval here interpolates
+ * *between* those reports and is stopped and restarted by every one of
+ * them — the seek bar's rule, for the reason the seek bar has it: a
+ * local clock drifted 30 s away from the backend across four keyboard
+ * seeks. The `trackChangeId` and `seq` guards come along for the same
+ * reason: the store is a singleton, so a report about the previous
+ * track must not be adopted, and the same second reported twice still
+ * has to reset the interpolation.
+ *
+ * **It is not a control and cannot become one.** `aria-hidden` on the
+ * host and `pointer-events: none` throughout: the real progress is
+ * announced by the seek bar on Now Playing, and a 2px strip on the top
+ * edge of the tab bar that sometimes seeks is worse than one that
+ * never does. It is also where a thumb aiming at a tab lands.
+ *
+ * **It renders nothing above 600px**, from `matchMedia` rather than a
+ * media query, because that decides whether the element *exists* — and
+ * with it whether a 1 Hz interval runs for the life of every desktop
+ * session about a line nobody can see. `job-band`, `search-trigger`
+ * and `player-controls` are the same pattern for the same reason.

+/**
+ * The phone's view of background work (#62).
+ *
+ * The header `job-indicator` is a *popover*, anchored to a bar 3.25em
+ * tall on a screen 439 CSS px tall, and it was reported as unreadable
+ * behind other UI. Two things are wrong with it there regardless of
+ * that symptom: a popover is a **disclosure**, and background work is
+ * the one thing a phone should not make you open something to see; and
+ * #57 deletes the bar it is anchored to, and is blocked on this issue
+ * precisely because the indicator needs somewhere else to live first.
+ *
+ * This is that somewhere. Below 600px the indicator stands down
+ * (`index.css`) and its work appears here instead.
+ *
+ * Four things about it are load-bearing.
+ *
+ * **It is the existing `job-panel`, not a second job UI.** Pause,
+ * cancel, Details and the log all come along — and, more to the point,
+ * so does `applyJobControl`, which is what carries the "you will
+ * discard hours of downloading" confirmation for an index build. A
+ * host drawing its own buttons drops that silently, which is the trap
+ * #27 already named.
+ *
+ * **It is in the layout, not over it**, and that was measured rather
+ * than assumed. The first version of this put the panel in
+ * `notification-host`'s fixed band, which reads fine in a screenshot
+ * and is unusable: at 424x439 a compact panel is ~200px of a 439px
+ * screen, and it *covers* what is under it. Four e2e specs failed —
+ * two phone-shell journeys and the header's action menu — because the
+ * panel was intercepting the taps. A band that hides the app to tell
+ * you the app is busy is worse than the popover it replaced. In flow
+ * it pushes instead, so nothing is covered and nothing is unreachable,
+ * which is #24's one sentence across all three bands.
+ *
+ * **It shows active work only.** A finished row that lingers is a
+ * banner that stays after the work is done, which is the opposite of
+ * what #62 asks for ("dismissed automatically on completion") and, in
+ * flow, is furniture that keeps the content pushed down. Finished jobs
+ * are still shown where the work was started, which is #27's rule and
+ * unaffected.
+ *
+ * **It renders nothing at all above 600px**, from `matchMedia` rather
+ * than a media query, because this decides whether the element
+ * *exists*. `bottom-nav` learned that the expensive way: rendering its
+ * duplicate `<app-sidebar>` unconditionally put a second copy of every
+ * `nav-*` testid in the DOM and broke 30 specs on a viewport where it
+ * was not even visible. Settings already holds four `job-panel`s, so a
+ * fifth answering for *every* kind is the same trap.

+/**
+ * Where a context menu is drawn: a popup on a desktop, a bottom sheet
+ * on a phone (#60).
+ *
+ * Every context menu in this app is a `.context-menu-panel` inside a
+ * `<wa-popup>` anchored to the touch point, driven by
+ * `ContextMenuController`. On the reference device that is structurally
+ * broken, and the failure was measured on the hardware rather than
+ * inferred:
+ *
+ * - Chrome 113 has **no Popover API** (`popover` is Chrome 114), so
+ *   `wa-popup` takes its own documented fallback and positions with
+ *   `strategy: "fixed"` instead of the top layer. Measured on the
+ *   device: `HTMLElement.prototype.hasOwnProperty('popover')` is false
+ *   and the popup's computed `position` is `fixed`.
+ * - `index.css` puts `contain: layout style paint` on `.main-panel`,
+ *   the ancestor of every view. Paint containment **clips** fixed
+ *   descendants. Measured: `.main-panel` computes `contain: content`
+ *   and spans 0-318 of a 439px viewport, while the open menu spans
+ *   191-401 — so 83px of it, three of its seven items, is cut off.
+ *
+ * A `<dialog>` fixes it by construction rather than by styling, because
+ * `showModal()` is Chrome 37 and uses the real top layer. **That was
+ * measured too, and it needed to be**: every other dialog in this app
+ * is mounted in `index.html`, *outside* `.main-panel`, so "dialogs are
+ * fine" was not evidence about a dialog opened from inside a view. A
+ * probe dialog appended to `track-list`'s shadow root paints to y=439,
+ * over the mini player and the tab bar, with the contained ancestor
+ * still there.
+ *
+ * Four things about this component are load-bearing.
+ *
+ * **It is one element with two presentations, not two components.**
+ * The host keeps rendering exactly the panel it rendered before and
+ * slots it into whichever surface is up, so the twelve call sites
+ * changed one tag name each and nothing else — no second item model, no
+ * second keyboard model, and `ContextMenuController` still drives
+ * `.active` and `.anchor` as if it were talking to a `wa-popup`.
+ *
+ * **Which surface exists is `matchMedia`, not a media query.** The
+ * decision is whether a `<dialog>` is in the tree at all, which is
+ * `job-band` and `player-controls`' rule: a `display: none` surface is
+ * still in the shadow root and still something a positional or by-role
+ * query finds.
+ *
+ * **The sheet has to un-do the UA stylesheet to be full-bleed.**
+ * A native `<dialog>` carries `max-width: calc(100% - 6px - 2em)` and
+ * `margin: auto`, which on the device produced a 354px panel floating
+ * in the middle of a 424px screen. `max-width: none` and explicit
+ * margins are what make it a sheet rather than a small centred box.
+ * The *positioning* needs no such care: a top-layer dialog's containing
+ * block is the viewport even with a paint-contained ancestor, which is
+ * why `bottom: 0` reaches y=439 and not the main panel's 318.
+ *
+ * **Dismissal has to travel back.** `wa-dialog` closes itself on
+ * Escape, which would otherwise leave the controller's
+ * `contextMenuOpen` true and the menu unopenable until something else
+ * cleared it. `menu-dismiss` is that signal, and the controller listens
+ * for it on the document beside the click and contextmenu listeners it
+ * already has.

+/**
+ * The phone's search surface (#57).
+ *
+ * Below 600px there is no top bar to hold a search box — the bar is out
+ * of the layout entirely, which is the single biggest vertical win
+ * available on a 439 CSS px viewport. So the box moves into a modal and
+ * the *trigger* moves into the row that already says which page you are
+ * on (`search-trigger`, beside this file).
+ *
+ * **It is a `wa-dialog`, and that is a mechanism rather than a taste.**
+ * #60 read this out of the Web Awesome source: `wa-popup` renders
+ * `<div popover="manual">` and feature-detects the Popover API, falling
+ * back to `strategy: "fixed"` where there is none — which is the
+ * reference device, Chrome 113, since `popover` is Chrome 114. And
+ * `position: fixed` escapes ancestor *overflow* but not `contain:
+ * paint`, which makes an element a containing block for fixed
+ * descendants **and clips them**; `index.css` puts `contain: layout
+ * style paint` on `.main-panel`, which is the ancestor of every view.
+ * A popup-shaped search panel opened from a view's header would
+ * therefore be structurally clipped on the one device this issue is
+ * about, and **no tier here could see it** — CI's Chromium and WebKit
+ * both have the Popover API, so the popup is top-layered and correct.
+ * `<dialog>`/`showModal()` is Chrome 37 and uses the real top layer, so
+ * this is immune by construction.
+ *
+ * **It carries the real `<search-bar>`**, not a second input. That is
+ * what keeps one debounce, one clear button, one accessible name and
+ * one view-scoped placeholder — and it is why `store/search-store.ts`
+ * is still the only statement of which views can search and what they
+ * search. The modal is a presentation of the control, not a copy of it.
+ *
+ * **The results are the view, not a list in here.** The Direction says
+ * "the box and live results"; the live results already exist, because
+ * the term is view-scoped and the page behind this dialog filters on it
+ * and says so in `page-header`'s "Showing albums matching …" line.
+ * Rendering results in the dialog would be a second implementation of
+ * every view's own filtering, and a worse one — it could not offer the
+ * row actions the view does. So Enter closes and hands the screen back.
+ *
+ * A singleton in `index.html` for the reason `shortcuts-overlay` is:
+ * one instance, one `data-testid`, one document listener, and no
+ * `data-testid="search-input"` resolving to two elements while it is
+ * shut.

+/**
+ * What the top bar drops when it runs out of room (#143).
+ *
+ * The bar holds five children — the wordmark, back/forward, the library
+ * filter, the search box and the job indicator — and at the bottom of
+ * the Compact band they do not all fit. Measured on `main` at 600×600:
+ * the bar is 611px inside a 600px viewport sitting still, and **862px
+ * while a scan with a long title is running**, because `job-indicator`
+ * is `hidden` when idle and up to 235px wide when it is not. `body` is
+ * `overflow-x: auto`, so what a user sees is a horizontal scrollbar on
+ * a shell that #24 promised would not need one.
+ *
+ * **The fit is measured, never breakpointed**, which is `page-header`'s
+ * rule (#69) and applies here for a reason specific to this bar: three
+ * of its five children are as wide as their *content*. The library
+ * filter is a `<select>` sized by the longest library name, the job
+ * indicator by the running job's title, and the search box by its
+ * view-scoped placeholder — so any width you pick is right for exactly
+ * one library, one job and one view. The same sweep that produced the
+ * numbers above found the bar overflowing at every width from 600 to
+ * 899 *and* at 900, where `nav-history` reappears; a breakpoint fixing
+ * "600 to 610" would have fixed the case that happened to be idle.
+ *
+ * **What yields is chosen by #24's own sentence** — *no action is ever
+ * unreachable at any supported size* — which rules out the two cheapest
+ * candidates the issue lists. Hiding the library filter takes away an
+ * action: `library-filter` is the **only** control in the app that sets
+ * the selected library (nothing else calls `setSelectedLibrary`), so
+ * hiding it is trading this promise for the same promise. Collapsing
+ * the search box to an icon is what #57 wants on a phone, but #57 is
+ * blocked behind #62 and building its modal here would be building it
+ * without the thing that blocks it.
+ *
+ * So the two things that yield are the two that are **not** actions and
+ * whose content survives elsewhere:
+ *
+ * 1. **The wordmark**, which is a brand — the window's own title bar
+ *    says the same thing, and #48 wants it down to "YJ" at every width
+ *    anyway. It yields its *width*, not its existence: the rule in
+ *    `index.css` is visually-hidden rather than `display: none`, so the
+ *    document keeps its top-level heading.
+ * 2. **The job indicator's label**, leaving the ring. This is not a new
+ *    judgement — the component already drops it below 600px for exactly
+ *    this reason, and its `sr-only` live region is what announces the
+ *    state either way, so nothing is lost to anyone. What a measurement
+ *    adds is the band between 600 and 900, where whether the label fits
+ *    depends on what else is in the bar rather than on the width alone.
+ *
+ * Measured against the running app with a long-titled scan staged, that
+ * order fits at every width from 320 to 1440 — and collapses nothing at
+ * 320, 390, 599, 899 and 1100, which is the other half of the claim.
+ *
+ * Three things about the mechanism are load-bearing.
+ *
+ * **Every pass starts from all-visible**, so the collapsed set is a
+ * pure function of the current width rather than of how the window got
+ * there. `page-header` states the same rule and the same reasons: a
+ * pass that only ever added would never give the wordmark back, and one
+ * that adjusted by a step would need a hysteresis band to stop it
+ * oscillating on the pixel where it exactly fits.
+ *
+ * **"Fits" is the children against the content box, not `scrollWidth`
+ * against `clientWidth`** — and that distinction is not pedantry, it
+ * is a measured false pass. `scrollWidth` counts a box's *left*
+ * padding and not its right, so with this bar's 2em gutters it
+ * under-reports by 32px: at 700px with a scan running it read
+ * `700/700`, a perfect fit, while `job-indicator` ended 32px past
+ * where the content may go and sat in the gutter. Same family as #69's
+ * title trap, one property over — the measurement that is easiest to
+ * reach for is the one that cannot see the failure. So the predicate
+ * here is the same one `top-bar-fit.spec.ts` asserts: no in-flow child
+ * outside the content box.
+ *
+ * That is only truthful in turn because **nothing here absorbs pressure
+ * by truncating**. The collapsible children are `flex-shrink: 0` in
+ * `index.css`, so a deficit shows up as a child out of bounds instead
+ * of quietly eating the indicator's label, which is `text-overflow:
+ * ellipsis` and would have. The search box is the one child that may
+ * shrink, between its 320px basis and the 200px floor its own
+ * stylesheet sets, and a narrower input hides nothing it was showing.
+ *
+ * **The bar does not resize when a job starts**, which is the case the
+ * whole thing is for. A ResizeObserver on the header alone never fires:
+ * the indicator goes 0 → 235 inside a bar whose width has not changed.
+ * Every element child is observed too.

+ *
+ * The popup was the only option, and "click open, drag, click closed"
+ * is three gestures for a control a bottom bar has room to just show.
+ * So an inline slider is the default and the popup is a setting.
+ *
+ * **The stored flag names the popup, not the slider**, which is the
+ * polarity rule `backend/config` states for every option it has: the
+ * zero value has to be the intended answer. An `InlineVolume bool`
+ * would default to false, hand the popup to every existing install, and
+ * need a migration to say what the default already says.
+ *
+ * It is a store rather than a field on the component because two
+ * components render `<volume-control>` — the bottom bar and the phone's
+ * full-screen now-playing view — and a setting that only reached
+ * whichever one happened to mount after it changed is the fault
+ * `active-view-store` exists to prevent, one surface over.
+ *
+ * The initial value is the *default* rather than a pending answer, so
+ * the first paint is the inline slider and not an empty gap that
+ * becomes one. An install that has chosen the popup sees it swap once
+ * on load, which is the cheaper of the two wrong first frames: the
+ * inline slider occupies the space the popup's button would have.
+ *
+ * **`available` is the question one step earlier — whether there is a
+ * volume of ours to draw at all (#64).** On Android the hardware keys
+ * are the volume control and the backend pins its own level at
+ * maximum, so a slider here would move nothing.
+ *
+ * It is asked of the *player* rather than of the viewport, and that is
+ * the whole design decision. Every other stand-down rule in this app
+ * is a width, because a width is what a browser can answer and what
+ * every tier can test — but this one is a property of the build. Keyed
+ * on width instead, an Android tablet at 600px or more would draw the
+ * bottom bar's slider over a pinned level: a control that cannot act,
+ * which `library-status-indicator` settled is worse than none.
+ *
+ * It lives beside `popup` because both answer "what presentation does
+ * the volume control get", both readers are the same two components,
+ * and "none" is a presentation. A second store would be a second
+ * subscription in the same `connectedCallback` saying the same thing.
+ *
+ * The initial value is `true` on the same first-frame rule: there is a
+ * volume on every platform but one, and the platform that pins it sees
+ * the control once at boot and never again in the session — the answer
+ * cannot change while the app runs, so by the time the lazily-mounted
+ * now-playing view exists it has long been settled by the bar's own
