CLAUDE.md said the Closes list was unreliable and to close by hand. It is unreliable for a specific reason, and the rule can say what works. Gitea parses commit messages that reach main. It does not parse the PR body, which closes something only if the merge happens to copy it into the merge commit message. Both halves were measured here: #83's merge commit carried "Closes #9, #13, #14, ..." and closed five of the ten, because a comma list is only partially matched; #93's merge commit body was a lone Reviewed-on: trailer, so #92 stayed open behind a perfectly correct Closes line in the PR description. So the keyword goes in the commit body as a footer, one issue per line. That costs nothing elsewhere -- Conventional Commits allows a footer, commit-check only regexes the subject, and semantic-release reads the type from the subject, so no release decision changes. The existing rule that the issue number stays out of the subject is untouched and was never about the body. The verification step stays, because a squash or a hand-edited merge message still drops the footer. This commit is the experiment: if #98 and #100 close when this branch merges without anyone touching them, the mechanism is confirmed. Closes #98 Closes #100
YellowJacket
Music how it was meant to bee.
YellowJacket is a fast, cross-platform desktop music player for your local collection. It plays your files, keeps your library tidy, and helps you discover and organize your music — all in a clean, responsive interface. No accounts, no streaming, no telemetry: just your music on your machine.
Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Features
Play your music
- Plays MP3, FLAC, OGG Vorbis, and WAV
- Play, pause, seek, and volume control with a mute toggle
- Gapless, glitch-free seeking backed by a read-ahead buffer
- A queue you can add to, reorder, and shuffle, with play-next support
- Shuffle and repeat (off / all / one)
- Picks up right where you left off — remembers your track, position, and volume between sessions
- Media-key and MPRIS support on Linux, so your desktop's playback controls just work
Keep your library organized
- Point it at your music folders and it scans them automatically
- Reads tags and embedded cover art, and de-duplicates artwork so it isn't stored twice
- Incremental sync — only new or changed files get reprocessed, and deleted files are cleaned up
- Browse by album, artist, or genre, or search across everything
- Mark favorites and see what you've been listening to with play history
- Edit track tags directly when something's off
Playlists
- Create playlists, drag tracks in, and reorder them
- Smart playlists that build themselves from rules (by genre, rating, play count, and more)
- Pin a default playlist and spot duplicate tracks at a glance
Discover and clean up (powered by MusicBrainz)
- Explore — browse artists, releases, and genres from the MusicBrainz catalog, not just what's already in your library
- Auto-tag — match your files against MusicBrainz to fill in correct artist, album, and track metadata, with a review step before anything is written
- Lyrics search — find a track by a line you remember

Building from source
YellowJacket is built with Go and a Lit/TypeScript frontend, bridged by the Wails framework.
Prerequisites
| Tool | Version |
|---|---|
| Go | 1.25+ |
| Node.js | 22+ |
| pnpm | 10+ |
| Wails CLI | v3 — vendored, no install needed (go tool wails3) |
The Wails v3 CLI resolves from the tool block in go.mod, so there is nothing
to install globally; make setup fetches it with the rest of the tooling.
On Linux, install the system libraries Wails needs. v3 builds against GTK4 + WebKitGTK 6.0 by default:
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libgtk-4-dev libwebkitgtk-6.0-dev # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo pacman -S alsa-lib gtk4 webkitgtk-6.0 # Arch
A machine without webkitgtk-6.0 can still build with -tags gtk3 against the
older WebKit2GTK 4.1 stack, but that is an escape hatch, not what CI or a
release builds.
macOS and Windows need no extra system packages. Run go tool wails3 doctor to
check your environment.
Build
make setup # install tooling and git hooks
make dev # run with hot-reload
make build-prod # produce a release binary
