Report

On the Albums grid the year is appended to the album name and gets truncated away on longer titles — so browsing by year, I can only see years for albums with short names. Maybe the year needs its own line.

Findings

frontend/src/components/cover-grid/cover-grid.ts — the card is documented as "Two lines: album name (+ year) and artist" (~line 130) and renders .album-name with .album-year inside the same line (~lines 1822-1827). The card's font sizes are set from custom properties (--album-name-font, ~lines 711-731) as the grid scales.

Direction

Move the year out of the truncating span: either onto the artist line (right-aligned, flex-shrink: 0) or its own line. The card height is part of the virtualizer's measurement, so a third line has to be reflected wherever the row height is declared. Interacts with the requested album-art scaling control — at the smallest scale there may be room for no text line at all.

Shipped in main as 792e872 — fix(ui): stop the album grid eating the year it was sorted by — merged through #83. This was listed in that PR's Closes line but did not close automatically; closing it now.
