`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
