fix(a11y): give every wa-dialog an accessible name
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.

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

Your library and settings are stored locally:

Linux / macOS Windows
Config ~/.config/yellowjacket/ %LOCALAPPDATA%\yellowjacket\config

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 v2 (go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest)

On Linux, install the system libraries Wails needs:

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev

macOS and Windows need no extra system packages. Run wails doctor to check your environment.

Build

make setup        # install tooling and git hooks
