Quick Task 17: Refactor Playlist View to Use Subpages Summary

Refactored playlist navigation from expand/collapse inline pattern to dedicated subpage navigation, matching genre-details and artist-details UX patterns.

Completed Tasks

#	Task	Commit	Key Changes
1	Create playlist-details component	dc5c7d6	New playlist-details component with header (back button, list icon, title, track count), full track list with all interactions, context menus, drag support, search filtering, routing in index.ts
2	Simplify playlist-view to navigate	955cd68	Removed inline track expansion, chevrons, track-level interactions. Plain click navigates to playlist-details. Kept playlist management (create, import, rename, delete, sort, drag-drop target)

What Changed

New: playlist-details component

• Header with back button, 80x80 playlist avatar (list icon), playlist name, track count
• Full track list with all interactions from the old inline expansion:
  • Click to select, double-click to play, right-click context menu
  • Drag tracks to queue or other playlists
  • Phantom track handling (locate, remove, phantom-resolver dialog)
  • Track details dialog, duplicate tracks dialog
• Drop target for adding tracks from other views
• Search filtering (tracks by title/artist)
• Select-all (Ctrl+A) support
• Listens for PlaylistTracksChanged and PlaylistDeleted events

Simplified: playlist-view component

• Removed ~1300 lines of inline track expansion code
• Plain click dispatches navigate event with playlist-details view
• Ctrl/Shift+Click still multi-selects playlists for bulk operations
• Right-click context menu still works (rename, delete, set-default)
• Drag-drop onto playlist items still adds tracks
• Create/import playlist still works
• Sort toolbar still works
• Search now filters by playlist name only (no inline track search)
• Removed: SelectionController, ContextMenuController, PlayerController, track-info, track-details, phantom-resolver imports

Updated: index.ts routing

• Added playlist-details case to navigation switch
• Passes playlistId and playlistName as element attributes

Updated: search-store.ts

• Added playlist-details to SEARCHABLE_VIEWS
