`seek-bar` renders `PlaybackPositionChanged` instead of counting: its setInterval survives only as interpolation *between* reports, stopped and restarted by every one of them, so its error is bounded by a second and is discarded rather than carried. Measured after: UI 00:34 / backend 34 across two keyboard seeks, against 00:44 / 73 before. The bar also stops lying about smaller things: the right-hand clock carries a minus sign and toggles to total duration on click, and the now-playing column starts at 320 px instead of 200, which is where "The Orchestra Of" came from. `now-playing.updated()` used to measure and rewrite its text geometry on every pass — six querySelectors and a read/write interleave — while the player store notifies at 1 Hz. It now runs only when its geometry key changes: the rendered title, the rendered artist, both scroll flags, or the ResizeObserver reporting a resize, with every read before every write. Over six seconds of playback: 52 forced layouts -> 2, and 3.2 ms -> 0.9 ms inside updated(). The scroll flags are in that key because `.will-scroll .scroll-content` carries `padding-right: 2em`, so applying the class changes the distance the marquee travels — -128 px before it, -158 px after. A guard on the text alone leaves every first hover scrolling short, and nothing in any test tier would have caught it. The resize's document listeners now attach on mousedown and detach on mouseup, rather than running on every pointer move in the app for the life of the process.
YellowJacket Frontend
This directory contains the frontend for YellowJacket.
Dependencies
There are a couple of tools that are required to build and use the frontend.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig so you get in-editor feedback that aligns with how the build will be done.

Development
Ideally, you would use the frontend in the wails app as the frontend depends on the Go bindings generated by Wails.
You can do this by running wails dev in the root of the YellowJacket repo.
If you want to run the frontend standalone, make sure the Wails go bindings have been generated with wails generate modules.
Then, you can run pnpm dev to run the vite dev server.
For more information on what commands are available, refer to package.json.
Code
Web Components
Our frontend is based off of Web Components, a standard that provides native browser encapsulation of components that can include HTML, CSS and Javascript all together.
Instead of writing these components manually in Javascript, we utilize lit as a wrapper library.
Typescript
To better integrate with our tooling and to provide a better developer experience with strong typing, we have written all functional frontend code in Typescript. Vite serves as our Typescript transpiler.
Important Files and Directories
NOTE: most of these directories have aliases defined in tsconfig.json and vite.config.ts so that we may refer to them by shorthand when importing.
