Three controls are revealed by :hover and are the only route to their action on a device that has none. #68 hid the home card's play button on touch, which was right because tapping the card does the same thing; these are the opposite case, so hiding them removes the action outright and leaving them costs the same long-press flash #68 was filed for -- they are visibility:hidden / opacity:0, so on touch they are invisible controls that still take taps. track-details' cover-art overlay and remove, and shortcut-capture's reset, are always visible under `@media not all and (hover: hover)`. The queue row's remove is the third case the report names and takes the other treatment, because #60 has since landed: the row's context menu is a bottom sheet carrying "Remove from Queue", so the action is one long-press away and an always-visible X would spend part of a 424px row on something already reachable. It is display:none outside `(hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)` rather than visibility:hidden, which would leave a button holding its hit area and its place in the accessibility tree -- the trap this issue is about. The rule is not extracted into styles/ yet: that leaves two call sites of the always-visible form, under the four the report names. No tier here can render as a touch device, so the tests read the parsed stylesheet the way #68's does and say so; the touch and hover renderings were measured against the running app in a hasTouch context instead. Closes #137
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.

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

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

- 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
