Choosing which pressing you are looking at is an advanced, metadata-repair task, and it sat directly above the tracklist with a heading, a `<select>` and a paragraph explaining how our clustering picks a "standard version" by weighing release count, status and date. That is a sentence about our own heuristic in the most valuable space on the page. It is now "Other versions of this album (N)" below the tracklist: a real `<button aria-expanded aria-controls>` inside the heading that names the section, with the body rendered unconditionally and toggled with `hidden`, because `aria-controls` has to name an element that is in the DOM. Both rules are `config-section`'s rather than new ones. It is demoted, not removed — matching the wrong release is a real problem and this is how it gets fixed. **Two more blocks shared that slot and neither was guarded.** The selector at least had `distinctTracklistCount() <= 1`; the `Versions / Loading releases…` spinner and the `Versions / <error>` block did not, so both took the primary position on every album regardless of whether there was ever going to be a choice. The spinner said what `renderTracklist` was already saying about the same fetch, so it is gone. The error was the one `catalog-scope-notice` shows at the top of the page with a retry — every path that sets `errorReleases` also sets `catalogFailed`, the only route to `unavailable`. That error is what made this a rewrite rather than a move. `renderTracklist` returned `nothing` on `errorReleases` and leaned on the selector's own block to have said it, and a control inside a collapsed disclosure cannot be a page's error surface. The failure belongs to the list that is missing because of it, so that is where it is drawn. **What must not be lost is which version is on screen.** The default is what the header already describes, so saying it on every album would be this issue's own complaint one size smaller. `defaultVersionKey` is the test: a line appears above the tracklist only once someone has chosen another, naming it and offering the way back. The ★ and the words "in your library" survive unchanged inside the panel, and the panel does not close when the selection changes — a panel that shuts on use cannot be used twice. The `<select>` also loses an `aria-label` of "Select release version" that outranked its own visible `<label>Version</label>`, which is a label not in the name. Verified against the running app as well as the suite: the collapsed page, the open panel, a chosen version and 390px width all read correctly, and the shell still measures 390 in a 390 viewport. Closes #17

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
